  Miracles Of Dolphin Assisted Therapy Research

What is dolphin assisted therapy research? It is a special mix of zoo therapy and physiotherapy that also provides important information for research. The animals used in this type of therapy are trained dolphins.

Who uses this type of therapy? It is usually people with special needs. It has been very popular with children affected or suffering from Autism, Cerebral Palsy, cancer and Multiple Sclerosis. Verbal or non-verbal, with or without sight, paralyzed or with limited motor skills, miracles have been observed or linked with this type of therapy.

Charitable organizations such as the Make-a-Wish Foundation have made dreams come true for numerous children. You see, children are often attracted and intrigued by these marine mammals. As for dolphins, they are naturally curious, patient, protective and sociable animals, which explain their main attraction to humans.

If a pregnant woman, a defenseless child or a physically handicapped adult are put in their presence, dolphins are known to come to their rescue and protect them, no matter the consequences.

During the assisted dolphin therapy research sessions, a physiotherapist and a dolphin trainer, who often is a marine biologist, are present to supervise series of physical exercises. Dolphins provide the rest: patience, support, entertainment and a unique relationship.

With time, various miracles have been known to happen during these sessions. Non-verbal patients have said their first words; others have shown some interest in communicating with them and developing a close relationship. Others became affectionate while some developed their motor skills. For some children, dolphin assisted therapy research made their dreams come true by giving them the opportunity to go swimming with dolphins. For others, it meant hope, achieving goals, develop their skills or find a best friend.

While miracles have been happening during dolphin assisted therapy research sessions, it does not mean that they are guaranteed to happen but at least, the experience in itself, its uniqueness and the fun related to it make it worthwhile.

In fact, numerous parents, relatives and friends would tell you that, at least, it makes a dream come true and at best, it will bring to your loved one something more precious than all the money in the world: a miracle that changed a life.

Nowadays, several places offer either dolphin assisted therapy research, a chance to go swimming with dolphins or even the opportunity to become a dolphin trainer for a day. If you have one of these opportunities, you should take it as it will provide you with the experience of a lifetime. For once, you will see that the cost of such an opportunity is worth every penny. Write it down on your To Do List for your next vacation as you will not regret it!

My name is Sylvie Leochko. I am fascinated by dolphins, which explains my desire to share my acquired knowledge with others. If you wish to learn more about dolphins, I encourage you to visit the following site: http://www.dolphins-and-more.com

 
  Electrical Conductivity Of Irrigation Water - What Does It Really Mean?

In order to understand irrigation water EC (Electrical Conductivity), we first have to understand the meaning of TDS.

TDS stands for Total Dissolved Solids, i.e the total amount of solids dissolved in water, mainly mineral salts.

TDS is measured in ppm (parts per million) or in mg/l.

What Does TDS Has To do With Electrical Conductivity?

Since it is hard to measure the TDS in the field, The EC of the water is as a measure for TDS. Measuring water EC is quick, inexpensive, and can be determined using portable meters.

Electrical conductivity reflects the capacity of water to conduct electrical current, and is directly related to the concentration of salts dissolved in water, though to TDS. This is because the salts dissolve into positively charged ions, as well as negatively charged ions, that conduct electricity. This is why distilled water have EC of 0, and will not conduct electricity.

Nevertheless, when the salt concentration reaches beyond a certain level, EC is no longer directly related to this concentration, because ion-pairs are formed. Ion pairs weaken each other's charge, so that above a this level, higher TDS will not result in equally higher EC.

Electrical conductivity of water is also temperature dependent: the higher the temperature, the higher the conductivity. Electrical conductivity of water increases by 2-3% for an increase of 1 degree Celsius of water temperature. Many EC meters nowadays automatically standardize the readings to a 25oC.

Why You Should Measure The Electrical Conductivity

We can say that EC is actually a measure of salinity. Excessively high salinity can affect plants in several ways:

1. Specific toxicity of a particular ion (such as Sodium)

2. Higher osmotic pressure around the roots prevents an efficient water absorption by the plant.

Some plants are more susceptible to salinity effects than others.

What Does The EC Reading Really Mean?

While water EC is a good indicator of total salinity, it still doesn't provide any information about the ion composition of the water. The same EC values can be measured in low quality water (e.g.water rich with Sodium, Boron and Fluorides) as well as in high quality irrigation water (e.g. adequately fertilized water with appropriate nutrient concentrations and ratios).

The commonly used units for measuring water EC are:

S/cm (microSiemens/cm)
or
dS/m (deciSiemens/m)

Where: 1000 s/cm = 1 dS/m

Converting EC to TDS can be easily done using the following calculation:

TDS (ppm) = 0.67 X EC (S/cm) = 670 X EC (dS/m)

Tips On Electrical Conductivity Of Irrigation Water

Here are some tips to make the measurements of electrical conductivity reliable:

1. Most EC meters have the following information indicated on them, or in their manuals:

  • The measurement units - different meters may use different units, e.g. ds/m or s/cm.
  • The range of the measurement.
  • Whether the instrument automatically compensates for temperature. If it doesn't, the measurement of the water EC should be done at 25oC.

  • 2. Calibrate your EC meter regularly.

    3. Never immerse the meter totally, but only up to the level indicated in the instructions.

    Smart! software automatically predicts the EC value of your irrigation value, as you add fertilizers.

      Easy Science Projects for Kids

    It's important for kids to get involved in science from an early age, as exposure to scientific ideas and the world of exploration as soon as possible is the best way to foster a love for learning in your children that will last a lifetime. At the same time, scientific knowledge is cumulative, so kids have to start with a solid foundation if they are to develop the necessary scientific skills to succeed in school, and perhaps in a future career. Of course, when doing science projects with kids the most important thing to remember is to have fun! Youth science fair projects aren't meant to transform your child into a scientist - they are meant to get the creative juices flowing within your child and help him or her continue to explore the natural world and make use of the imagination.

    So where do you find ideas for science projects, if you want to get your child started on something at home? Luckily, these days you don't have to look far to find science projects for your children - simply do an online search and you should be able to find tons of websites containing information and ideas pertaining to science fair projects and science for children in general. These websites list science projects and tell you exactly how to do them and what to do, so the process of helping your child discover science or prepare science fair projects for school is made easy.

    In the past, it was easy for parents to become frustrated when helping kids with homework and coming up with ideas for science fair projects - now it's easy to help them out and you don't have to be a science whiz yourself! And if your child demonstrates a natural interest in science, it's even more important that you encourage it from an early age. Whether or not you have to do a project for school, or complete a homework assignment, kids getting involved in science at home is a great idea!

    In fact, doing their own science experiments at home is a great way to supplement the regular educational exposure your kids get during the day in the classroom. And if you home school your children coming up with fun and educational science experiments that are easy to recreate at home is the perfect way to help your kids exercise their minds and learn about science while having a lot of fun at the same time.

    When you set up science projects for your kids to do at home, it makes learning fun - this will carry over to the child's classroom experience and may even improve their grades overall. Of course, that is not the main goal of doing science experiments at home. Again, do these projects with your children as a fun activity and the learning will spring from that organically. Specifically, when searching for science projects for your kids to do at home it's a good idea to find something your children, and maybe even their friends, will enjoy. Figure out what interests your child and go from there. Involving them in the process will help them naturally discover where their interests are and what type of experiments they'll gain the most from.

    You can find the instructions for these experiments for free, although you will have to purchase some basic supplies in most cases. At the same time, materials used in most of these projects are relatively inexpensive and not difficult to find.

    For some easy science project ideas that only require everyday household items, check out the Easy Science Projects Web Site.
