As of February 2019, captive orcas reside at facilities in North and South America, Europe and Asia.

Amaya (web Editor)
Amaya (formerly Amaya World) is a discontinued free and open source WYSIWYG web authoring tool with browsing abilities. It was created by a structured editor project at the INRIA, a French national research institution, and later adopted by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) as their testbed for web standards; a role it took over from the Arena web browser. Since the last release in January 2012, INRIA and the W3C have stopped supporting the project and active development has ceased. Amaya has relatively low system requirements, even in comparison with other web browsers from the era of its active development period, so it has been considered a "lightweight" browser. History Amaya originated as a direct descendant of the ''Grif'' WYSIWYG SGML editor created in the early 1980s, and of the HTML editor Symposia, itself based on Grif, both developed and sold by French software company Grif SA. The last change of code of Amaya was on 22 Feb 2013. Features * Access keys * Caret ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
