Keiko (earlier Sigi and Kago), was a male orca who portrayed Willy in the 1993 film Free Willy. This orca was eventually freed in Iceland, in July 2002, but did not fully adapt to the wild and died in December 2003 in Norway.
While there’s certainly something in Brad’s quote, I believe the way we all work is going to change in the coming years. As Google’s Larry Page and others have said, the amount of jobs available for people is going to decrease as technology advances. New innovations will drive industries forward, but they will also reduce our reliance on people power. Ideas such as driverless cars and drones are becoming a reality, and machines will be used for more and more jobs in the future. Even pilot-less planes will be become the reality in the not too distant future. By working more efficiently, there is no reason why people can’t work less hours and be equally – if not more – effective. People will need to be paid more for working less time, so they can afford more leisure time. That’s going to be a difficult balancing act to get right, but it can be done.
As Larry said: “The idea that everyone needs to work frantically to meet people's needs is just not true.” We all need to work smarter, not longer.

Rosa Louise McCauley Parks was an activist in the Civil Rights Movement, whom the United States Congress called "the first lady of civil rights" and "the mother of the freedom movement". On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Parks refused to obey bus driver James F. Blake's order to give up her seat in the "colored section" to a white passenger, after the whites-only section was filled. Parks was not the first person to resist bus segregation.

Guardians of the Children (GOC) was establish in 2006 in San Antonio, Texas by a small but dedicated group of individuals who saw the need to educate and make our community aware of the ramification and the affects of child abuse brought to the children and their families. The abuse to children is a problem that affects all levels of our society which we must all be willing to address head on. We in GOC exist by our motto and that is; "Don't Let Your Silence Drown Out Their Cries"
It was not enough to say you're against anything unless you're willing to do something about it. The founders of GOC recognized that the smallest and most helpless citizens were victimize by selfish, cold-hearted, cruel cowards, and decided to do its part in the quest of correcting such a difficult predicament in our society. It was decided from the beginning that rather than just assist the victims and their families after the abuse had occurred it would also be beneficial to expend our efforts in the way of prevention. This emphasis on educating and making the public aware for the prevention of child abuse is what separates GOC from other organizations. As a Biker organization one must own a motorcycle to become a member of GOC. This is important because although there are many people and organizations who want to help the less fortunate in the community, GOC accomplishes its mission by way of who we are. Our goal in GOC is to instill a feeling of safety and peace in the hearts and minds of the victims and families we assist. A unique component of GOC to accomplish its mission is the mentality among bikers that we are all part of something bigger, {the whole is greater than the sum of its parts} and that is We stand as one prepared, to protecting our organization in order to protect our priceless resource, 'the children'.

Het eerste Wetboek van Strafrecht in Nederland was het Crimineel Wetboek voor het Koningrijk Holland, dat gold van 1809 tot 1811. In 1811 werd het, na de inlijving bij het Franse Keizerrijk in 1810, vervangen door de net nieuwe Franse Code Pénal uit 1810. In 1813 bleef dit wetboek van kracht, met een aantal wijzigingen. Het Geesel- en Worgbesluit voerde Nederlandse straffen, zoals geseling en ophanging, opnieuw in. De eerste versie van het huidige Wetboek van Strafrecht werd in 1881 vastgesteld en, na eerst nog in 1886 gewijzigd te zijn, in dat jaar ingevoerd.

Seen from space the Earth is covered in a blue mantle. It is a planet on which the continents are dwarfed by the oceans surrounding them and the immensity of the marine realm. A staggering 80 percent of all the life on Earth is to be found hidden beneath the waves and this vast global ocean pulses around our world driving the natural forces which maintain life on our planet.
The oceans provide vital sources of protein, energy, minerals and other products of use the world over and the rolling of the sea across the planet creates over half our oxygen, drives weather systems and natural flows of energy and nutrients around the world, transports water masses many times greater than all the rivers on land combined and keeps the Earth habitable.
Without the global ocean there would be no life on Earth.
