Jones and a big group of pro-slavery men came to Lawrence. They burned down the Free State Hotel as part of the Sack of Lawrence. After this, the anti-slavery man Shalor Eldridge built a new hotel.

Dinghy sailing is sailing in small boats usually with a centreboard or a keel. The boat is sailed using the crew for balance. History. Small boats have always been used to bring people and produce around. This might mean from place to place but often from an anchored ship to the shore. Charles II of England had a sailing dinghy given to him when he returned from exile to England in the 17th century. In 1887 Thomas Middleton, a Dublin solicitor, thought that yacht racing was too expensive. He then invented the one-design boat. He wanted yacht racing to show just skill at sailing with all boats to be the same. He found some other people who agreed with him and they decided on a design for the new boat. They decided to call the boat 'The Water Wag'. The Water Wag Club is still in Dún Laoghaire harbour (near Dublin, Ireland), and they race every Wednesday evening during the Summer. Now, there are a great many classes of sailing dinghies in use in yacht clubs around the world and it is a major Olympic sport. Dinghy classes. Dinghy designs are often called "classes"; these classes are usually either one design or development. The idea is that One Designs provide a fair and even competition, but Development Classes make new faster and better boats. The first International one-design class was the B.R.A. 12 foot dinghy which was designed by George Cockshott in 1914 for West Kirby marine lake near Liverpool, England. This design then went to the Netherlands, Germany, France, Ireland etc. Sailing skiffs are the hardest type of dinghy to sail.

On boats and ships, the keel is the central part. The rest of it is built around it. When a boat or ship is being built then the keel laying down is the first step and the date is noted as the start of the job. Only the launching of the ship is more important. History. Evidence of early wooden ship keels has been found around the world. In Europe, Viking longships have been found which were buried but still show their keel and the way the boat was built. The adjustable centerboard keel traces its roots to the medieval Chinese Song dynasty. Many Song Chinese junk ships had a ballasted and bilge keel that consisted of wooden beams bound together with iron hoops. Maritime technology and the technological know-how allowed Song dynasty ships to be used in naval warfare between the Southern Song Dynasty, the Jin dynasty (1115–1234), and the Mongols. Metal keels. The most common type of keel is the "flat plate keel", and this is fitted to ocean-going ships and other vessels. A form of keel found on smaller vessels is the "bar keel", which may be fitted in trawlers, tugs, and smaller ferries. Non-sailing keels. In non-sailing boats, the keel helps the hull to move forward, rather than slipping to the side. In traditional boat building, this is provided by the keel, which comes out from the bottom of the hull. There are many types of keels, including full keels, long keels, fin keels, winged keels, bulb keels, and twin keels among other designs. Yacht keels. The keel works by changing the sideways movement of the wind into a forward movement. It also gives weight to the boat. Keels are different from centreboards and made of heavy materials to give weight to steady the boat. Keels may be fixed or they may lift up to allow sailing when the water is not deep. The amount of sail use is smaller when sailing with the keel up in the boat. Other types of keels are swing keels and canting keels. Canting keels can move sideways and can be on racing yachts, such as those in the Volvo Ocean Race.

Lost Lake is a lake in the Willamette National Forest, in Oregon, in the United States. It is known for the way that the water level changes during the year. There are lava tubes in the bottom of the lake. During the summer, the water drains out of the lake through these tubes. In some years, this leaves the lake with very little water, turning it mostly into a meadow. Starting in the autumn the lake begins to fill again. This happens as the amount of water coming in to the lake from streams and melting snow is higher than that flowing out. By spring, it has its highest water level.  The water that drains through the tubes is thought to go to nearby Clear Lake.

It is produced by Open Mind Productions for the BBC and features a mixture of computer-generated animation and live action. Synopsis. The Numberjacks are animated characters - the numbers zero to nine - who live in a sofa and solve problems outside. Each episode has the same structure. At the beginning of the episode, some of the Numberjacks will be engaged in an activity that will have relevance to the problem that is later discovered. Then an "agent" (a live-action child) will call in and describe the problem that is occurring. One or two of the Numberjacks will go out into the real world to solve the problem, while the remaining Numberjacks stay in their base and watch their progress on a screen. As soon as the problem is understood, 5 will worry about all the things that can happen. In the second series she does not worry about the dancing cow quite so much. Once outside, the Numberjacks are shown in a live-action setting (although still animated themselves).

Once solved, the Numberjacks return to their base, replay what happened on a screen and then ask a question for the viewers. The problems encountered are all based around simple mathematical concepts and the programme is intended to stimulate young children's interest in mathematics. Characters. Heroes.
