![]() The Platypus can determine the direction of an electric source, perhaps by comparing differences in signal strength across the sheet of electro receptors. The electro receptors of the Platypus are located in rostro-caudal rows in the skin of the bill. Their electro reception is the most sensitive of any monotreme. Platypuses are Monotremes, the only mammals known to have a sense of electro reception (the ability to receive and make use of electrical impulses). The Platypus has extra bones in the shoulder girdle which are not found in any other mammals. There is a great variation in size depending on the region in which the Platypus lives, and this pattern does not seem to follow any particular climate rule and may be due to other environmental factors such as predation and human residence. ![]() Males average 50 centimetres (20 inches) total length while females average 43 centimetres (17 inches). The weight of the Duck-billed Platypus varies considerably from 700 grams (1.54 pounds) to 2.4 kilograms (5.3 pounds) with males being larger than females. Platypuses have been heard to emit a low growl when disturbed and a range of other vocalisations have been reported in captive specimens. Their nostrils are located on the dorsal surface of the snout while the eyes and ears are located in a groove set just back from it. Unlike a birds beak (in which both the upper and lower parts of the beak separate to reveal its mouth), the snout of the Platypus is a sensory organ with the mouth on the underside. ![]() The webbing is more significant on the front feet and is folded back when walking on land. These are features that appear closer to those of a duck than to those of any known mammal. The Duck-billed Platypus has webbed feet and a large, rubbery snout. ![]() The Duck-billed Platypus uses its tail for storage of fat reserves, an adaptation it shares with the Tasmanian Devil. Their legs sprawl out to the side of the body, giving it a lizard-like walk. It has thick, waterproof fur all over its body (except for the feet and bill) that insulates the animal and keeps it warm. The Duck-billed Platypus is about the size of a cat. The Platypus is one of the few venomous mammals whereby the male Platypus has a spike on the hind foot which delivers a venom capable of causing severe pain to humans, they also use it to kill small animals in self defence. The Duck-billed Platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) is a semi-aquatic mammal endemic to eastern Australia, including Tasmania. ![]() ![]() ![]() 405.00 Free shipping Wayne Dalton I-Drive Pro Garage Door Opener Torquemaster 3790 For Parts Only 175.00 25.00 shipping Wayne Dalton circuit board for iDrive 30.00 0 bids 9.

The play was very professionally done, and had us glued to our seats. The stage had beautifully lit up colors and an ingenious moving center to the floor (which allowed for the artist to get on and off stage, in addition to using the four diagonal paths through the audience. The inside of the theater space is very pretty looking, gorgeous wall decorations and a neat interior design with the stage in the middle and seats on all four sides, and balconies above. ![]() There were plenty of ushers to show everyone to their seats, all very prettily decked out, which made waiting for the show to start rather pleasant. There was even a gluten-free & dairy-free desert !Īfter the meal we had plenty of time to check out the gift shops, there are 3 or 4 of them inside the facility, and after some elaborate exploring we found a very affordable and pretty necklace to match my outfit. I was impressed, most restaurants have a hard time taking care of my special needs. Lots of staff made it easy to get our needs met, there were people with tea and coffee giving us refills whenever we looked in their direction, and the woman with the bread basket to whom I said: "I can't eat this, I am gluten free" came back a few minutes later with two steaming hot and great tasting slices of gluten free bread. The food was great, I have a special diet and was catered to very well by our friendly waitress. The drive from Madison took about 45 minutes, the landscape was pretty and the Theater easy to find with several signs leading the way from miles off. The Fireside had what looked like a lovely offering so we booked tickets for a meal and performance of "Once Upon A Mattress" on a late Sunday afternoon. We were in Madison for a week and wanted a special outing. We were all family and adult people- no kids or teens. ![]() The choices supplied did not fit our group. Later in this review it asks who was with us. I can hardly wait for the next time we all go. Their voices were the best and the whole thing riveled the movie. The actors and actresses were well-chosen for the parts they played. The music and singing were spectacular! It was two and a half hours which flew by. I sat in the front row with my husband and sister. The others loved their entrees and by the time we came to dessert, we were so full that we had them box it up and we took it home. My meat was so tender, I could cut it with a fork. The mushroom soup (I cannot remember its name) was the best I have ever had. Our waiter was attentive and helpful, answering any questions we had about what was what on the menu. We had a table for six and had an excellent view of the dining room. I didn't have the mobility and time to visit them this time, but in the past, I have purchased clip earrings, sequined Christmas ties, sweat shirt, vase for holding flowers, ornaments, and other items. There is a fireplace, a bakery where their special breads are sold, and several shops. It is warm and cozy, but seems to extend forever. She waited patiently and did not leave me alone until the rest of our party caught up to me. When we arrived, our tickets were at the "Will Call" booth and a requested wheel chair was quickly provided along with a young lady to push me to wherever I wanted to go. ![]() Jason graduated from the University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point with a BFA in Theatre Design/Technology and is a member of United Scenic Artists Local 829.We have been to The Fireside Dinner Theater before, but this was the best one of all.

Encourage students to place both written and graphic information on the time line as soon and as often as possible. Nevertheless I'd start the time line way before the guns are fired at Fort Sumter, maybe going back as far as the arrival of the first slave ship on mainland America in 1618 on a Dutch ship landing in Jamestown. The study of the Civil War will quickly branch off in the direction of slavery and you & the kids will have to decide how far to go in that direction. The story, of course, is universal and could apply to any war as the young and innocent wait to see if their lives will be changed forever by the battles waged by adults.Ī time line is always a good idea when studying any era of history and I'd put up a big one with plenty of space around it for the information the kids will uncover during this theme. ![]() This is a book that must be shared with the students able to see the illustrations as they hear the text and time must be given to allow them to pick out the meaningful details. We see, in the distance a woman leading a man who is seated on the horse and the boy says that if your father came back with a missing arm you wouldn't be afraid of him because you'd know he was still your father. Time passes and Catalanotto shows that passage of time by a blurred series of pictures in which a chicken egg is hatched. He imagines what will happen if his papa should not come back. A young boy tells how his father has been wounded and his mother has gone to fetch him while he stays with the neighbors trying to be brave. Then the second-person text starts., "If your papa went away to war.". The title page shows the same man and boy returning from a successful fishing trip and the dedication page shows men on horseback at the top of the page while gray paint drips blood-like down the page. This is visual foreshadowing and should be pointed out to students who don't pick it out themselves. A closer examination will reveal that one of the toys is missing an arm. The book starts on the cover as we see a man chopping wood, his wife churning butter while a boy plays with toy soldiers. Although the Civil War itself is not named, the illustrations make it obvious. George Ella Lyon and Peter Catalanotto have created a masterpiece in Cecil's Story (Orchard, 1991 ISBN 0531070638. Now let's move on to the picture book starter for this theme. A teacher who avails his or herself of Marrin's work will be able to lead students to a better understanding of the time, politics, events and people in the Civil War. Marrin's strength lies in being able to give chronological accounts which, while stating the facts, paint the people involved as full personalities and we understand their motivations as well as their deeds. Library Binding.) The first of those books, Abraham Lincoln & the Civil War, is more accessible to younger students than the others and has more visual material. Library Binding.), and Virginia's General: Robert E. ![]() Grant and the Civil War (Atheneum, 1994 ISBN 0689318375. Marrin's Civil War related books are: Commander in Chief: Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War (Dutton, 1997 ISBN 0525458220. Some of your students will be capable of reading Marrin's work and you will surely want to read some selections aloud. The books by Albert Marrin on the subject of the Civil War make fascinating reading and will give you a background that most history textbooks do not achieve. I will start off the theme with a picture book as usual but, before I do so, let me recommend some reading for teachers. Since the theme is most often studied in the upper elementary grades, let's restrict our book choices to books appropriate for that level for the most part. ![]() The brutal conflict of the American Civil War has brought forth some of the best writing in children's literature.
