Abstract: The combined members potentiate the autonomic, thermoregulation of an animal such as a horse. An absorbent wrap cools an animal by removing its extra heat during extreme physical and environmental conditions. The wrap member is submerged in water, excess moisture removed, then placed in a sealed, insulated cooler lined with frozen icepacks where the components stay cold until use. The wrap is removed from the cooler and seen in one embodiment fitted around the neck of an animal and held in place by fasteners. Temperature remediation occurs through a countercurrent exchange where incoming and outgoing elements touch to remove heat. The cooling wrap increases an animal's physiological mechanisms by working with their vascular structures and respiratory tract during selective brain cooling (SBC). The animal while stationary or under movement is cooled through the processes of conductive, evaporative and circulatory cooling.

Abstract: Educational systems and methods for learning how to spell are provided. In this regard, a representative system includes: a working surface including a representation of a hand having five fingers; five sets of vowels “a”, “e”, “i”, “o” and “u” depicted at the working surface, each of the sets being associated with a corresponding one of the fingers; and five spelling locations depicted at the working surface, each of the locations being associated with a corresponding one of the fingers.
