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.
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 (Santiam Pass, Linn County, Oregon)
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.

Numberjacks
Numberjacks is a children's television series aimed at young children and is shown regularly on BBC2 and CBeebies in the UK. It is produced by Open Mind Productions for the BBC and features a mixture of computer-generated animation and live action.
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). They diagnose the problem by examination and with help from additional ideas from the agents, who call into the base. The problems are usually solved by creating and sending "brain gain", a magic force that can correct the problems once the solution is understood.
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.
The Numberjacks are the heroes. Each of the numbers 0-9 is an individual character and each is broadly the age of his or her number. 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 are male, while 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 are female. However, the gender of the individual Numberjacks is never explicitly stated.
There are five "Meanies" who often cause trouble for people. The Problem Blob, the Puzzler and the Numbertaker are male, while the Shape Japer and Spooky Spoon are female.
The series is comprised of 45 15-minute episodes, which are listed here:
Lawrence Journal-World
The Lawrence Journal-World is a newspaper in Lawrence, Kansas, United States, by Ogden Newspapers. They publish every day.
The "Journal-World" name started in 1911. The paper says it goes back to 1858.
In 1891, Wilford Collins Simons moved to Lawrence. He took over the "Lawrence Record" newspaper in a three-month lease. The "Lawrence World" was first issued by Simons on March 2, 1892.
In 1905, the "World" bought the "Lawrence Journal". They merged the "Journal" and "World" in 1911 after a fire destroyed the offices of the "Journal". The name "Lawrence Daily Journal" dates back to 1880. However, that name just continued the name "Republican Daily Journal". The name "Republican Daily Journal" dates back to at least 1869. The "Republican Daily Journal" seems to have been the successor through a sale and/or consolidation of earlier Lawrence newspapers. One of those papers dated to 1858. For years, the "Journal-World" said it started in 1858.
Wilford Collins Simons was editor from 1891 until his death in 1952.
In October 2010, the World Company, which owns the Lawrence Journal-World, sold some of its news media business. They sold it to Knology for $165 million. Knology is an Internet and cable company.
