Coming back late in the evening, we sometimes got about the last spot in the lot. The parking lot is small, considering it is for 2 hotels. We had no issue with noise at all, but we were there just mostly to sleep. Breakfast was busy all 3 mornings we were there and they kept things hot and fresh. They had plenty of choices for breakfast and it was always well stocked. Housekeeping was on request, but I suppose this is going to be the norm going forward. I personally prefer the individual bottles, but I get why they are done this way now. We had a walk in shower only and the shampoo and soap was attached to the wall. Kitchen was a good size and very functional. We were there for pleasure, but it would have been very easy to get some work done in the room as well. It felt somewhat less secure basically being all closed up. The surrounding area is great, lots of shops and restaurants! Even though the two lobbies are connected with the breakfast area in the middle, it would have been nice to have someone staffed at the check in desk on the Residence Inn side. Every staff member we encountered was very nice and helpful. Hotel was extremely clean and still looked brand new. We were in town for a 3 night stay over Memorial Day weekend. ![]()
![]() As evidenced in our weekend road trip to the best waterfalls in Missouri, our state is full of wondrous treasures. To read more about my adventures in the area, visit are seven official natural wonders in Missouri, but if you ask us, that's just the tip of the iceberg. Photos by Travis Smith family photo by Lloyd Smith. Grand Falls is located at 5400 Riverside Drive, and McClelland Park is located at Maiden Lane and Shoal Creek (click here for its website and map).ĭirections to Grand Falls: Off I-44, exit 6 south on Route 86 (Hearnes Blvd./South Main Street) two blocks at the roundabout go west (right) on Glendale Road 1.5 miles south (left) on Jackson across the low-water bridge west (right) on Riverside Drive two miles and Grand Falls is on the right. If you have more time, swing by Inspiration Point, then have a picnic under the trees at McClelland Park. So take a few minutes out of your day to stop at picturesque Grand Falls, where you can enjoy the unique natural surroundings and recharge your batteries. We visited the park on that spectacular fall day take photos to use in our holiday card. Here’s a table near the bluff that overlooks Grand Falls to the east. The many mature trees at McClelland make it a perfect place for a picnic, and there are several tables located throughout the park. There are several areas with playground equipment, plus a disc golf course that’s located in the south part of the park. This park is situated on top of a hill, making it a prime spot for kite-flying in the spring. Next to Inspiration Point is McClelland Park. There’s a gravel overlook area where you can pull over and enjoy a breathtaking view of Shoal Creek. Inspiration Point is located near the intersection of Glendale Road and McClelland Park Boulevard. Visit the falls at sunrise and treat yourself to the sight of early morning mist drifting off the creek while you sip some coffee.Īfter visiting the falls (which is on the east side of the creek) our family usually stops at Inspiration Point and McClelland Park (which are both on the bluff on the west side of the creek). Or maybe you just want to find a dry rock to sit on so you can rest while listening to the peaceful flowing water. If you plan on playing in the water (especially in the pools of water in between the rocks), I’d recommend a pair of rubber aqua socks because the rocks can be slippery. You can admire the falls from there, or you can walk the path from the parking lot down to the creek.Īs you can see from all of the rock in the photos, the terrain is uneven, so be sure to wear appropriate shoes. ![]() Grand Falls is accessible from Riverside Drive, and there’s a small gravel lot where you can park your car. There are outcroppings of chert next to the falls that fill with water and create pools that kids of all ages can splash in,Īnd explore to discover frogs and other types of life in the water. The natural falls are created by a ledge of solid chert rock that measures 163 feet across, creating a Little Niagra Falls right here in our backyard. This was installed to form a reservoir that supplies water to Joplin residents. What? Only 12 feet? Clearly you won’t need to crane your neck to see the top of the falls, but you are guaranteed a chance to see it flowing every time you visit because, well, that’s how a continuously flowing waterfall works.Ībove the falls there’s a man-made dam. That’s, right! The water in Shoal Creek plunges 12 feet to a rock ledge.

![]() Once in the truck, Ken is confronted by Yukio Oikawa who then copies the data from Ken's Dark Spore and implants it into the taken children.Īnd yes, while the children willingly went with Arukenimon the imagery of kids being put in a truck and then implanted with a sinister device that turns its human host slowly evil is several shades too dark. The next day Arukenimon convinces Ken to come with her, using the "kidnapped" children as motivation. On Christmas Day Mummymon and Arukenimon cruise around Tokyo luring children into a truck. Whatever this orb was remains a mystery tho, but yeah, I'd still guess it's just another Clown Trick.While most of the time the darkness and violence only happens to the Digimon, there are a few instances of the creatures' human partners having very bad things happen to them as well and perhaps one of the darkest happens during Digimon Adventure 02.

Digimon S02E44 Dark Sun, Dark Spore Eng Dub Good Luck Charlie. If you want to considder these books a reliable source of information, well this here would confirm that the orb did indeed cause Gennai to turn into an old man and it wasn't him just aging (and that the reason Gennai is young again in Zero Two is because by the time he shows up the orb was no longer having an effect on him for whatever reason). video File:Placeholder The Dark Spores appeared when Ken and Ryo defeated Millenniummon, apparently released from the monster's body. ![]() Which roughly translates to " It seems like the orb of darkness Piemon inserted in Gennai is the cause of his current old man-like appearance."

It is an improved version of the original Digivice used by earlier Chosen Children. and Digimon Adventure: Last Evolution Kizuna ). Yoo, I just remembered something in the official Digimon Animation book (or whatever it's name was, it had info and art of just about everything up until Savers), there's a sentence on Young Gennai's blurb on page 81 about this! I'm not sure if I should include a picture of the blurb here, but the sentence I'm talking about is the very last one on Young Gennai's blurb: The D-3 is a model of Digivice that is used by some Chosen Children in Digimon Adventure 02 and its sequels ( Digimon Adventure tri. EDIT: As far as the efficacy of Piedmons attack, we definitely see Digimon that have undergone aging in Tamers, Frontier, and Savers, so if Piedmon went to those Digital Worlds, the attack would be effective. I mean Gennai could be just as ageless as the Digimon were, he did go back to being young after the curse was (presumably) lifted instead of staying or looking old like he probably should be? So who knows, the orb could make regular Digimon old, frail and unable fight too, but this is just speculation. EDIT: Removed following, just saw Vandes post. Of course, we can't know if this applies to the 'orb of darkness', for all we know that orb could make Adventureverse Digimon age like they do in Tamers and Frontier. ![]() Plushies and dolls appear to be a thing with this clown, freezing his victims in time and keeping them from aging when they've been turned to keychains is probably just a side-effect because yeah, like you said, it's not really useful at all. I don't find Piemon's ability to turn others into keychains that weird because he did refer to those keychains as "dolls" and Bandai's official art of Piemon back in the day did include a blue teddybear (which we don't see in stuff often anymore, same goes for Pie having just one eye with a pupil n ). ![]() chanco was preadapted to living with humans, as it could share food. This form of the coronoid is characteristic of omnivorous Carnivores (bears, raccoons, etc) and has been interpreted to suggest that the smaller omnivorous ancestor to C. Dogs also possess a unique feature in their lower jaw, a posteriorly recurved coronoid, which all wolves lack, except for the Chinese C. Dogs differ structurally from wolves in having shorter faces, smaller and more crowded cheek teeth, and higher foreheads.Įarly dogs were smaller than most wolves, and subsequent selective breeding has produced dogs of many sizes and conformations. ![]() By Early Pleistocene times (about 1.65 million years ago), Canis was widespread in North America, Asia and Europe.ĭuring the Late Pleistocene, at least 12 000 years ago, wolves were tamed to become dogs. The genus Canis, of which wolves, coyotes, dogs and foxes are the most familiar forms, derives from the small, fox-sized Miocene (23.7-4.9 million years ago), North American canid Cynodesmus. They hunt deer, caribou, moose, wapiti and, in summer, smaller game. Wolves are shy, usually nocturnal and elusive. The gray wolf is a social animal and functions. The pack protects and brings food to the nursing mother. The total length (nose to tip of tail) ranges from 1.37 to 1.52 m for females, and 1.27 to 1.64 m for males. The bitch whelps (gives birth) in a den, either a burrow or natural shelter. Litters of about 7 (4 - 13) pups are born after 63 days gestation. Wolves live in packs (usually 3 - 7) with a dominant male and his breeding bitch. Larger wolves are compatible in size with a Great Dane. Their only enemies, humans, hunt them for sport and to protect livestock, and have uprooted them from the settled parts of North America, where Coyotes or feral dogs replace them. An Arabian wolf, the smallest wolf, is about the size of a Labrador retriever. Wolves were common in North America in forests, tundra and prairies, but are now restricted to wilder northern regions and National Parks. Northern forms are largest in North America. If you compare that size to the biggest dog you’ve ever seen, like a large Great Dane, the gray wolf wins because a Great Dane weighs an average of 100120 pounds with a body length of about 3.5 feet. Black or almost white individuals also exist. Use them in commercial designs under lifetime, perpetual & worldwide. It resembles a German shepherd dog, although its coat is usually greyish.

![]() Provide time for paired discussions and recording of ideas. For each number, have them record the number of pairs there are. Have students, on their own paper or think-board, draw a picture of the even numbers.Recognise that this is a pattern that grows by +2 each time. For example: ‘you keep on adding 2’, ‘it’s +2 each time’, ‘they go in pairs’, ‘they match and have partners’, ‘they’re called even because there’s none left over’, ‘it’s kind of fair’ etc.). Record students' ideas on the class chart or modelling book. Provide time for them to discuss and record what they notice. Have the students make a cube model of each of the even numbers to at least 10, depending on the number of cubes available. Group the students in a way you feel is appropriate to the needs of the class. Make multilink or unifix plastic cubes available to students.Recognise the pattern that they make: the counters are on every second number. Then have the other student begin at twenty and count back in even numbers, replacing the counters as they do so. Have one student read even numbers to twenty aloud, removing the counters as they do so. Have students now place counters of the same colour on each even number on their number strip.Agree that these are all reasons why the identified numbers are known as even numbers. For example: ‘They’re neater that way’, ‘There’s no extra ones sticking out’, ‘The rows are equal’, ‘They’re in pairs’, etc. Have the students suggest reasons why commercial packaging mostly works in this way and record their ideas. Elicit from the students, or tell them, that these are all even numbers. On the class chart or modelling book, record these numbers and have the students tell you what they notice.The result will be that their number strip has several even numbers each covered with a see-through counter. Have students handle and check the number of items in each package, and then place a counter on that number on their number strip. Place a selection of pre-packaged food or drink, which have an even number of individual content items, in front of the students.Using a single colour enables greater focus on the concept being developed. Have them work in pairs, sharing a number strip, and counters of one colour only. Make number strips and coloured see–through counters available to students.You could also encourage students, who speak a language other than English at home, to share relevant vocabulary from their home language. Te reo Māori kupu such as taukehe (odd number), taurua (even number) and tatau (count) could be introduced in this unit and used throughout other mathematical learning. Encourage your students to consider a range of real-life contexts in which they encounter odd and even numbers. Whilst the focus of the learning is on number properties, the various activities could be carried out with whatever equipment motivates your students. The activities in this unit can be adapted to increase their interest to students, by adding contexts that are familiar to them.

Ways to differentiate include: It is also assumed that throughout the school day, all class members, students and teacher alike, will look for and take opportunities to apply learning included in this unit of work. The activities suggested in this series of lessons can form the basis of independent practice tasks. The members of each set of numbers behave in a particular way, as do the members of both sets when they work together in each of the four number operations. However, investigation into their unique behaviours is not always given priority. In many early primary classrooms, students are provided with opportunities to recognise odd and even numbers and to count aloud using these distinct number sets. This is a fundamental pattern structure that requires focused exploration by students. Our number system is made up of odd and even numbers. The purpose of these lessons is to enable students to recognise odd and even numbers and their characteristics, to generalise their behaviours when added or subtracted, and to be able to consistently apply these generalisations with problem solving contexts. |
