Ken

whale

expert

reports

on

the

arrival

of

the

humpback

whales

and

whalewatching

season

Thousands

of

humpback

whales

from

the

North

Atlantic

migrate

to

the

waters

of

the

Dominican

Republic

each

winter

to

mate

and

give

birth

Their

most

popular

winter

rendezvous

is

Silver

Bank

the

reef

system

approximately

miles

north

east

of

Puerto

Plata

But

from

there

many

circulate

to

other

popular

areas

like

humans

do

at

singles

bars

One

of

these

gathering

places

is

Samana

Bay

More

than

humpbacks

visit

the

bay

with

as

many

as

present

at

any

given

time

during

mating

season

The

World

Wildlife

Fund

considers

Samana

Bay

one

of

the

best

places

in

the

world

to

watch

whales

It

offers

something

for

everyonethe

outer

bay

is

where

you

might

find

aggressive

males

competing

for

the

favors

of

willing

females

and

the

sheltered

inner

bay

is

one

of

the

most

important

humpback

nurseries

in

the

world

MidJanuary

to

the

end

of

March

is

the

usual

whalewatching

season

in

Samana

Bay

however

the

excursions

continue

as

long

as

enough

whales

remain

The

rest

of

the

year

the

whales

feed

in

the

cold

fishrich

waters

of

the

North

Atlantic

between

Massachusetts

Bay

and

Iceland

and

Greenland

Summer

whalewatching

excursions

are

offered

in

those

areas

but

there

is

no

better

time

than

the

winter

mating

season

when

the

male

humpbacks

eager

to

impress

the

females

are

most

animated

and

when

newborn

calves

can

be

seen

swimming

alongside

their

mothers

Humpback

whales

have

been

wintering

near

Samana

for

centuries

Cave

drawings

made

by

the

aboriginal

inhabitants

of

Los

Haitises

National

Park

long

before

Columbus

arrived

depict

the

spouting

whales

And

Columbus

saw

them

too

as

the

log

of

his

travels

along

the

north

coast

in

makes

clear

About

Humpback

Whales

Humpbacks

are

airbreathing

mammals

belonging

to

the

group

known

as

great

whales

Adults

measure

m

and

weigh

tons

Babies

measure

m

and

weigh

tons

When

born

they

have

little

blubber

fat

to

protect

them

from

the

cold

water

awaiting

them

in

the

north

but

grow

quickly

on

the

rich

milk

provided

by

their

mother

Each

day

they

drink

gallons

of

milk

that

is

fat

and

gain

pounds

much

of

which

is

blubber

By

comparison

the

milk

of

a

human

mother

is

fat

Adult

humpbacks

are

black

or

dark

gray

with

white

patches

on

the

flippers

the

belly

and

the

underside

of

the

tail

At

first

glance

all

look

alike

but

there

are

differences

The

black

and

white

pigmentation

on

the

underside

of

the

tail

flukes

is

the

most

common

means

of

distinguishing

one

from

another

No

two

have

the

same

markings

enabling

whale

scientists

to

identify

humpbacks

in

the

same

way

humans

are

by

their

fingerprints

Permanent

scars

dorsal

fin

shape

and

other

unique

markings

also

help

distinguish

one

from

another

No

whale

species

is

more

active

than

the

humpback

causing

Herman

Melville

in

Moby

Dick

to

call

them

the

most

lighthearted

and

gamesome

of

all

the

whales

And

the

breeding

season

is

when

they

are

the

most

animated

Among

the

behaviors

that

delight

whale

watchers

are

Breaching

Whale

males

to

They

may

breach

slam

heads

and

bodies

and

even

draw

blood

The

humpback

whale

is

also

known

for

its

haunting

melody

a

variety

of

chirps

yups

grunts

and

eooooos

that

form

a

song

Jacques

called

them

the

Carusos

of

Whales

Whalewatching

excursions

in

Samana

Bay

Whalewatching

excursions

can

be

booked

from

most

hotels

in

Samana

or

at

the

city

dock

area

The

boat

trip

to

enter

the

whale

sanctuary

are

included

in

the

tourist

areas

Traveling

to

Samana

on

your

own

isnt

difficult

One

option

is

to

rent

a

car

and

drive

to

Samana

from

Puerto

Plata

on

the

north

coast

about

a

four

hour

drive

Or

if

youre

coming

from

the

south

coast

Santo

Domingo

take

advantage

of

the

new

toll

road

that

will

put

you

in

Samana

in

about

two

hours

The

alternative

non

toll

road

from

Santo

Domingo

to

San

Francisco

de

Macoris

Nagua

and

Sanchez

Samana

takes

about

four

hours

Another

option

is

to

drive

to

Sabana

de

la

Mar

and

take

a

ferry

across

the

bay

to

Samana

Both

routes

Bus

travel

to

Samana

is

another

good

alternative

and

much

less

expensive

From

the

south

coast

Caribe

Tours

and

Metro

offer

daily

bus

service

from

Santo

Domingo

to

Samana

From

the

north

coast

Caribe

Tours

has

service

and

Sosua

The

buses

of

both

companies

are

large

modern

from

any

airport

and

best

for

Samana

or

best

for

Once

in

Samana

there

are

many

boats

to

choose

from

ranging

from

yolas

local

fishing

boats

with

no

protection

from

weather

or

waves

single

gasoline

outboard

motor

to

fast

No

matter

how

calm

the

inner

bay

looks

from

the

dock

the

outer

baywhere

the

whales

usually

areis

often

rough

during

the

winter

months

So

choice

of

boat

is

very

important

Considerations

include

boat

construction

protection

from

the

weather

and

windblown

spray

and

height

above

sea

level

for

visibility

at

the

distances

required

by

regulations

The

three

are

the

recommended

choices

based

on

type

of

engines

services

provided

and

adherence

to

must

by

law

protect

Among

the

rules

are

that

can

observe

a

at

time

the

minimum

distance

that

must

a

vessel

may

spend

watching

an

no

vessel

may

permit

to

swim

with

the

possible

to

make

raises his finger and gathers their energy in the form of a giant yelloworange sun like energy sphere Once it is ready the user launches the attack against the target Like the normal Death Ball it is mostly used to destroy planets or as a last ditcheffort to kill an enemy Usage Frieza fires his Supernova Frieza had learned of the Saiyans rapidly growing strength and decided to eradicate them out

betrayal the tyrant counters with his Supernova Friezas Supernova approaches Planet Vegeta The attack destroyed Planet Vegeta as well as the entire Saiyan race and a large percentage of his own soldiers yet a few Saiyans had survivedescaped The Supernova also somehow sent Bardock back in time to the time when Chilled Friezas ancestor ran the Frieza Force In the manga version of Episode of

Technology

acceptance

model

navigation

Based

on

the

theory

of

reasoned

Action

Davis

developed

the

Technology

Acceptance

Model

which

deals

more

specifically

with

the

prediction

of

the

acceptability

of

an

information

system

The

purpose

of

this

model

is

to

predict

the

acceptability

of

a

tool

and

to

identify

the

modifications

which

must

be

brought

to

the

system

in

order

to

make

it

acceptable

to

users

This

model

suggests

that

the

acceptability

of

an

information

system

is

determined

by

two

main

factors

perceived

usefulness

and

perceived

ease

of

use

Perceived

usefulness

is

defined

as

being

the

degree

to

which

a

person

believes

that

the

use

of

a

system

will

improve

his

performance

Perceived

ease

of

use

refers

to

the

degree

to

which

a

person

believes

that

the

use

of

a

system

will

be

effortless

Several

factorial

analyses

demonstrated

that

perceived

usefulness

and

perceived

ease

of

use

can

be

considered

as

two

different

dimensions

Hauser

et

Shugan

Larcker

et

Lessig

Swanson

As

demonstrated

in

the

theory

of

reasoned

Action

the

Technology

Acceptance

Model

postulates

that

the

use

of

an

information

system

is

determined

by

the

behavioral

intention

but

on

the

other

hand

that

the

behavioral

intention

is

determined

by

the

persons

attitude

towards

the

use

of

the

system

and

also

by

his

perception

of

its

utility

According

to

Davis

the

attitude

of

an

individual

is

not

the

only

factor

that

determines

his

use

of

a

system

but

is

also

based

on

the

impact

which

it

may

have

on

his

performance

Therefore

even

if

an

employee

does

not

welcome

an

information

system

Technology

Acceptance

Model

from

Davis

Bagozzi

et

Warshaw

According

to

Davis

perceived

ease

of

use

also

influences

in

a

significant

way

the

attitude

of

an

individual

through

two

main

mechanisms

selfefficacy

and

instrumentality

Selfefficacy

is

a

concept

developed

by

Bandura

which

explains

that

the

more

a

system

is

easy

to

use

the

greater

should

be

the

users

sense

of

efficacy

Moreover

a

tool

that

is

easy

to

use

will

make

the

user

feel

that

he

has

a

control

over

what

he

is

doing

Lepper

on

Efficacy

is

one

of

the

main

factors

underlying

intrinsic

motivation

Bandura

on

Lepper

on

and

it

is

what

illustrates

here

the

direct

link

between

perceived

ease

of

use

and

attitude

Perceived

ease

of

use

can

also

contribute

in

an

instrumental

way

in

improving

a

persons

It

is

however

interesting

to

note

that

the

research

presented

by

Davis

to

validate

his

model

demonstrates

that

the

link

between

the

intention

to

use

an

information

system

and

perceived

usefulness

is

stronger

than

perceived

ease

of

use

According

to

this

model

we

can

therefore

expect

that

the

factor

which

influences

the

most

a

user

is

the

perceived

usefulness

of

a

tool

Although

the

intial

TAM

model

was

empirically

validated

it

explained

only

a

fraction

of

the

variance

of

the

outcome

variable

IT

usage

from

to

according

to

McFarland

and

Hamilton

Therefore

many

authors

have

refined

the

initial

model

trying

to

find

the

latent

factors

underlying

perceived

ease

of

use

and

perceived

usefulness

In

the

not

completely

accounts

for

the

observed

variance

in

system

usage

However

the

models

all

agree

that

in Maormer Mer Online Races Races Maormer English Ambassador Ulondil a Maormer The Maormer are native to the island kingdom of Pyandonea an archipelago in the southern ocean Their ruler King Orgnum is said to be immortal Serpents Grotto Loading Screen src The Maormer also known as Tropical Elves Sea Elves Fish Elves or Pyandoneans are a race of Mer that live on the continent Pyandonea far south of the Summerset Isles after migrating there from the legendary continent Aldmeris as Aldmer in the Merethic Era Contents show Background Appearance Maormer are especially distinguished by their skin and eyes Their eyes are clear and milkywhite Maormers skin is entirely pale and colorless as though their flesh is made of white limpid jelly Their skin also has strange chameleonlike properties comparable to that of the forest coupling skills of the Wood Elves Culture King Orgnum is the Maormer ruler of Pyandonea Orgnum is a deathless wizard who it seems is not only immortal but grows more youthful by the century and he is said to be the Serpent God Satakal The Maormer practice a powerful form of snake magic and with this they have tamed the sea serpents of their island for use as steeds and warbeasts These sea serpents serve as King Orgnums guards and occasional mounts Maormeri ships are described as insectoid in appearance with membranous sails and a rugged chitin hull flying a markedly alien flag Waving tendrils of kelp trap all but the Maormers own ships in the uncharted waters of Pyandonea History Origins Like the High Elves the Sea Elves also came from Old Aldmeris But where the Altmer settled in the paradise of Summerset the Maormer ended up in low marshy and insectinfested Pyandoneaand the Sea Elves have never forgiven the High Elves for it Stormwarden Undercroft Loading Screen src Translations of tapestries in the Crystal Tower are the most reliable origin story for the Maormer and tell the tale of how the Maormer were likely separated in their original homeland of Aldmeris According to this story Orgnum was a massively rich Aldmer nobleman who used his wealth to rebel against the governments and powers of Aldmeris He and his followers were exilled from Aldmeris to a place where they could not take such actions again via impenetrable mist Pyandonea The Veil of Mist This proved successful as they never assaulted Aldmeris again and became the Maormer First Second Era The Maormer were relentless in their drive to conquer Summerset and there is scarcely a year throughout the First or Second Era when they did not ravage the coastlines of the Altmer Every attack launched by the Maormer against Summerset has been led by Orgnum himself and despite the number of wars and strategies employed by the Maormer each of these attacks has proved to be an ultimate failure In the year 2E 486 a small Maormeri fleet was sighted off the coast of Alinor and King Hidellith ordered his navy to give chase The navy followed the ships through uncharted waters into an ambush in Pyandonea itself Most of the Alinori navy was destroyed but a single warship returned to Summerset a testament to the maritime genius of the Altmer During the Three Banners War in 2E 582 the Maormer had some form of control over the Elsweyr island Khenarthis Roost under a treaty they agreed to with the city of Mistral Ulondil the Maormer ambassador of the island along with his followers later went on to betray the agreement The Sea Vipers a powerful faction of Maormer was known to have also led attacks against the First Aldmeri Dominion throughout many of its controlled territories The Second Aldmeri Dominion made allies of the Maormer although the Dominion allowed the kings of Colovia to eliminate Maormer outposts that had been established along the western coast of the mainland Third Era The last documented appearance of the Maormer was the War of the Isle in the year 3E 110 The united alliance of the kings of Summerset Antiochus Septim and the Psijic Order combining the Imperial fleet the royal navies of Summerset and the Psijics magical powers succeeded in destroying the Pyandonean invading armada It was said that the storm brewed by the Psijic of Artaeum so annihilated Orgnums fleet that he was never again able to muster together enough of a force to dare another battle Known Maormer Angalmo A respected geographer who detailed
