A tugboat (tug) is a boat that maneuvers vessels by pushing or towing them. Tugs move vessels that either should not move themselves, such as ships in a crowded harbor or a narrow canal, or those that cannot move by themselves, such as barges, disabled ships, or oil platforms. Tugboats are powerful for their size and strongly built, and some are ocean-going. Some tugboats serve as icebreakers or salvage boats. Early tugboats had steam engines, but today have diesel engines. Many tugboats have firefighting monitors, allowing them to assist in firefighting, especially in harbors.
Seagoing tugboats fall into four basic categories:
Harbor tugs. Historically tugboats were the first seagoing vessels with steam propulsion, providing freedom from the restraint of the wind. As such, they were employed in harbors to assist ships in docking and departure.
River tugs River tugs are also referred to as towboats or pushboats. Their hull designs would make open ocean operation dangerous. River tugs usually do not have any significant hawser or winch. Their hulls feature a flat front or bow to line up with the rectangular stern of the barge.

Plot: Kenai, a man who resents bears after a fight with one kills his older brother, is turned into a bear so he can see life from a different perspective. He is visited by the spirit of his older brother, and is told that, if he wishes to be changed back into a human, he must travel to the place where the lights touch the Earth, in other words, the Northern Lights. Fueled by hope, Kenai sets off on his long journey, and, along the way, encounters a younger bear, Koda, who is a chatterbox and a fun-loving spirit; Koda is trying to find his way back to his home, the Salmon Run, which, coincidentally, is right next to where the lights touch the Earth. Koda and Kenai team up, but are hunted by Kenai's other brother, Denahi, who fears that the bear has killed Kenai as well. Along the way, the two bears meet other friends, including two moose, some rams, and some mammoths, with whom they hitch a ride. However, Kenai discovers that he likes being a bear, and realizes that humans aren't only afraid of bears; through Koda's eyes, the humans are the monsters, with their long spears. With a whole new view on life, Kenai makes a decision that will change his world forever.

Genres: Comedy, Drama,But when sat in front of a page
I start to deflate
It's not me they're looking for
No it couldn't be me they're looking for
When asked to stick around
I'm the last going pound for pound
No matter how I perceive my actions
You'd be hard press to find some satisfaction
But when asked to be a man about it
So many things my brain can't stand about it
I'll stay at my windowsill and shout it
This one's from me to you
That wholesome boy you thought you knew
No one can see what I can see
A life beneath the rubble, stuck inside a bubble
Struggling for oxygen, and getting nothing but accidents
No one can love what I can't love
She's got the same old moving parts, covering that heart
But she will break my spell, she beautiful and they all can tell
And when I ask to touch your skin
I'm denied and then denied again
I want so bad to feel that need
The necessity I'll never be
You told me to calm down
Take a deep breath and then just stick around
But away I went
A brand new life I had to invent
Find someone I can destroy all over again
No one can see what I can see
The love that she'll become, brighter then the sun
Shedding light on my darkest days, If I was only sure enough to stay
O no, someone can love what I can't love
She's got perfect stable bones, Rescued and sent home
And she will break her focus, She's beautiful I'm not the only one who noticed
So lay out your plans
For your path to Jesus and if you don't need us at all
You don't need us at all
But you made that music
You made a record with reason at the end of a season
Where you gave it up
For someone who meant the whole damn world to you
But in the attic
I found a picture of my parents
Before it became apparent
That they may have never really loved each other at all
Just set your alarm clock radio
And knock three times on the ceiling
If you're going to show them all that love in your heart
