Flying Dutchman

Artists Albert Pinkham Ryder's interpretation of the legendary ship.

The Flying Dutchman, known in Dutch as De Vliegende Hollander, is a legendary ghost ship of Dutch folklore.

## Description:

The Flying Dutchman is described as a ghostly ship, usually appearing as a hazy image or in a strange light. Based on the time period of its origin, the ship was most likely a common ship of the 18th century.

According to the myth, the ship was doomed when its arrogant Dutch captain refused to take harbor during a storm, despite please from his crew and the passengers. The captain instead challenged God to take he and his ship down.

## History:

### First Sightings:

The first literary mention of the ship appears in *Travels in various part of Europe, Asia and Africa during a series of thirty years and upward* written by John MacDonald in 1790.

> "The weather was so stormy that the sailors said they saw the *Flying Dutchman*. The common story is that this *Dutchman* came to the Cape in distress of weather and wanted to get into harbour but could not get a pilot to conduct her and was lost and that ever since in very bad weather her vision appears."
>
>

The second mention of the Dutchman appears in Chapter VI of *A Voyage to Botany Bay* written by George Barrington in 1795. The third, *Scenes of Infancy* written by John Leyden in 1803.

### King George V:

There were many reported sightings of the Dutchman in the 19th and 20th centuries. One of the most well-known sightings was by Prince George of Whales, who would later become King George V. During a three-year voyage in 1880 with his brother Prince Albert Victor of Whales and his tutor John Neill Dalton, he (or his brother, as it is disputed) wrote of his experience seeing the Dutchman.

> "July 11th. At 4 a.m. the *Flying Dutchman* crossed our bows. A strange red light as of a phantom ship all aglow, in the midst of which light the masts, spars and sails of a brig 200 yards distant stood out in strong relief as she came up on the port bow, where also the officer of the watch from the bridge clearly saw her, as did the quarterdeck midshipman, who was sent forward at once to the forecastle; but on arriving there was no vestige nor any sign whatever of any material ship was to be seen either near or right away to the horizon, the night being clear and the sea calm. Thirteen persons altogether saw her ... At 10.45 a.m. the ordinary seaman who had this morning reported the *Flying Dutchman* fell from the foretopmast crosstrees on to the topgallant forecastle and was smashed to atoms."
>
>

### Explanation:

Some scholars have attempted to provide an explanation to sightings of the Dutchman. Many have concluded that it is either a superior mirage or Fata Morgana.

## In Popular Culture:

The Dutchman has inspired many elements of popular modern culture. One notable example is the character and ship named Flying Dutchman in the Nickelodeon series *SpongeBob SquarePants*.

Hermanas Mirabal Province

**Hermanas Mirabal** (*English: "Mirabal Sisters"*) is a province in the Dominican Republic.

## About

The Mirabal Sisters were four, known commonly as Patria, Minerva, María Teresa, and Dedé, who opposed the dictatorship of Rafael Trujillo (El Jefe) in the Dominican Republic and were involved in clandestine activities against his regime. Three of the four sisters (Patria, Minerva, María Teresa) were assassinated on November 25, 1960. The last sister, Dedé, died of natural causes on February 1, 2014.

The assassinations turned the Mirabal sisters into "symbols of both popular and feminist resistance". In 1999, in their honor, the United Nations General Assembly designated **November 25** the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.

Bajos de Haina

**Bajos de Haina,** also called **Haina,** is a town in the San Cristóbal Province of the Dominican Republic. The population was 158,985 at the 2012 census.

## Bajos de Haina

### Region

Valdesia
San Cristóbal Province

### Distance to:

Monte Plata: 10 km (*6 mi.*)Santo Domingo: 18 km (*11 mi.*)

## History

Between **1960** and **1970,** Bajos de Haina had the category of municipal district belonging to the province of San Cristóbal.

Bajos de Haina was granted municipal status in 1981, along with Yaguate and Cambita Garabitos, which previously were districts of the municipality of San Cristóbal.

## Geography

Bajos de Haina is located at 18.4236° N, 70.0329° W. According to the ONE, the municipality has a total land area of 115.85 square kilometers (44.73 square miles). It is located about 10 kilometers east of the provincial capital city of San Cristóbal, in a small valley at the mouth of the Haina River. It is bordered by the city of West Santo Domingo (Santo Domingo Province) on the north and east, the town of San Gregorio de Nigua on the southwest, and the city of San Cristóbal on the west. The city has two municipal districts; **Bajos de Haina** and **El Carril.**

## Economy

More than 50% of the country's electricity is produced in the municipality. There is also the only refinery in the country.

From the hills of Paraíso de Dios, the chimneys reveal an industrial complex that rises imposingly in the vicinity of the Dominican Caribbean Sea. One company after another, in rows, up to over a hundred.

## Enviornment

According to studies, the constellation of companies, which were installed without observing environmental regulations, was responsible for the municipality being listed as one of the ten most polluted localities in the world, according to the Blacksmith Institute, based in New York. As of 2010, the municipality of Bajos de Haina no longer appears on this list. Such contamination was also shown to be due to high concentrations of lead in the Paraíso de Dios neighborhood.

Bajos de Haina is home to more than 100 manufacturing, chemical, pharmaceutical and metallurgical industries, as well as other electricity generators, as well as the Dominican Oil Refinery.

Here is also the most important port in the country, which in 2002 registered merchandise operations of 10.4 million tons, around 65 percent of the total movement of the Dominican Republic .

The beginning of this constellation of power plants dates back to the 70s, when the government pushed an industrial promotion law that favored the development of the sector and, with that strength, the pollution that is now unmanageable also arrived.
Modelo de Calidad BOEHM

MODELO DE CALIDAD BOEHM

Modelo de calidad propuesto por Barry W. Boehm en el año de 1978, define la calidad en términos de atributos cualitativos y métricas para realizar las medidas.

Es un modelo de calidad fijo, el cual se fundamenta en que el software efectué lo que el usuario quiere que realice, por el cual se espera que el software utilice los recursos del computador de forma correcta y eficiente, sea de fácil uso y de aprender para el usuario, este bien diseñado, codificado, de poner a prueba y mantener fácilmente. Este modelo define la calidad de software en términos de atributos cualitativos y los mide usando métricas para determinar los valores para los criterios.

La estructura jerárquica plantea 3 niveles para las características: De alto nivel, de nivel
intermedio y nivel primitivo.

Elaborado a partir de Scalone (2006)

Los niveles superiores son los más genéricos mientras que los niveles inferiores permiten realizar descripciones más detalladas o específicas.

Elaborado a partir de Scalone (2006)

La gráfica relaciona los factores y características/propiedades/criterios medibles en el modelo de Boehm.

Análisis del Modelo

Es un modelo de calidad
que permite evaluar un Recurso Educativo Digital (RED), el cual consiste en valorar
la calidad del software que se quiere implementar, para que garantice una
adecuada calidad del producto, es un modelo que demanda tiempo por los detalles
de los criterios que integra, pero que al final se justifica por los resultados
que se obtienen.

Como docente me permite verificar
si el producto que estoy empleando como RED es confiable, si puedo adaptarlo a
las necesidades de mi clase o temática del grupo, por que el modelo tiene esos
criterios dentro de la valoración.

*(This page refers to the cryptid known as the Thunderbird. For the creature of Native American folklore, see Thunderbird (Folklore))*

## Thunderbird

A depiction of a traditional Native American Thunderbird.

## Source

### Status of Legitimacy:

Disputed

**Thunderbird** is a term used in cryptozoology to refer to gigantic birds and birdlike creatures. It is largely rooted in Native American beliefs in birdlike creatures by the same name, however is its own distinct entity.

## Description:

The Thunderbird is described as a winged crocodile monster with a wingspan of an estimated 160 feet and a body at least 92 feet long. It had a smooth, hairless body; a strong jaw and sharp teeth; and its wings were made up of a "thick and nearly transparent membrane."

Based on sightings, the creature bears a great resemblance to an airplane, as several witnesses state that they at first believed it to be one before getting a better look at it.

## History:

### Original Sighting:

The original sighting of the Thunderbird was by two ranchers, who supposedly killed the creature. It is from them that the description used above originates. On April 26, 1890, the Tombstone Epitaph posted a story about this sighting. The story apparently included a picture depicting the ranchers standing in front of the Thunderbird's corpse nailed to a barn wall, however a copy of this photo has never been found.

### 1948 Sightings:

On April 10, 1948, there were three sightings of massive birds over the town of Overland, Illinois. The witnesses claimed to see what they thought was a plane until they noticed it flapping its wings. A few weeks later there was another sighting in Alton, Illinois, where a man and his son spotted a birdlike creature with a body "shaped like a torpedo."

Around the same time in St. Louis, Missouri, numerous sightings of huge birds prompted residents to complain to the mayor, who had an administrative assistant set up traps to catch one of the large birds. Blue heron tracks were found on an island in the Meramec River, and that was considered to be the source of the sightings.

### Later Sightings:

In 2002, there was a sighting of a large bird with a wingspan of around 4 meters in Alaska.

In 2007, there were sightings of huge birds in San Antonio, Texas.

In 2018, there were several sightings of a large black bird the size of a small plane in the Mendenhall Valley area of Alaska.

These later sightings lack consistency with the earlier ones and hold much less weight, but are still worth noting.

### Explanations:

Many have suggested that the Thunderbird is simply a normal bird of abnormally large or mistaken size being perceived as a completely new creature due to its size. Angelo P. Capparella states that a species as large as the Thunderbird would be incapable of garnering the needed food to survive and would have been spotted much more often than Thunderbirds have been.

## In Popular Culture:

While not as popular as many other monsters, the Thunderbird has seen respectable use in various fantasy media, alongside similar creatures such as the Roc and Ziz.
Bar Juchne

An artists interpretation of the Bar Juchne.

**Bar Juchne**, also called **Bar-Yuchnei**, is a giant bird from Jewish mythology stated to have a large enough wingspan to block out the sun.

## Description:

The Bar Juchne is described as a colossal bird capable of blocking out the sun with its wingspan. It is known to lay massive eggs on the ground.

## Prominent Myths:

In the Talmud, there is a story of a Bar Juchne throwing its egg out of its nest because it is unfertilized. The massive egg destroys 300 cedars and floods 60 towns and villages.

It is said that a roasted Bar Juchne would be served alongside the Behemoth and Leviathan at a banquet for the Children of Israel following the arrival of the Messiah.
La Romana Province

**La Romana,** also known as **Flor del Este,** is a province in the Dominican Republic. Located in the southeastern region of the country, La Romana province was created in 1944 with the name of its capital city, which is one of the largest cities in the country. Although its economy benefits from its sugar production and its free zone, La Romana is one of the most important province in the Dominican Republic due to its rich tourist exploitation.

## About

La Romana is home to Casa de Campo, a large coastal resort developed in 1975 by the US conglomerate Gulf + Western that is considered one of the top golf destinations in the world.

It is also home to Altos de Chavón, a recreation of a Mediterranean-style European town located on top of the Chavón River that has a cultural center, an archaeological museum, and an amphitheater.

## Geography

### Municipalities

1. Guaymate 28,233 This municipality, whose name was assigned due to a very common tree in this land, which was called guamate, has a very active agricultural economy due to its extensive sugar cane crops on land owned by the Central Romana Corporation.

2. La Romana☆ 130,426 The capital city of the province, founded in 1897, owes its name to an old Roman scale of great size that was used to weigh the merchandise that passed through the port. It stands out for its growing tourism industry that includes beautiful beaches and resorts.

3. Villa Hermosa 108,563 Located in the western part of the province, this young Dominican municipality that was created in 2004, has an economy driven by small and medium businesses. Since most of the crime in La Romana occurs in Villa Hermosa, tourists are advised not to visit this area.

## History

The formation of this municipality began in the early nineteenth century, when the place came a man of Spanish origin called Remigio Espinosa, which had a blacksmith in the community of Cabral.

According to the founders, Mr. Espinosa used the fire to mold the iron giving him blows, which caused a lot of noise in the neighborhood, so the artisan decides to move his small smithy industry to a place apart from the population. And then retires to the other side of the river.

Through the function of iron, Mr. Remigio Espinosa made hinges, knockers, horseshoes, among other instruments necessary for the time.

Along with the small business, some workers who helped him in the work of iron smelting were moved to these lands, several of which families brought.

In addition, customers or buyers of the instruments made in the forge, were in the need to move in search of the merchandise to the new place of manufacture.

In those trips, when observing the fertile plains that are to the south side of the river Yaque del Sur, many decided to settle down in the place and they were dedicated to the agricultural production, leaving thus installed a small town.

According to the locals, their ancestors called it *Fundición*, since to reach the community in search of the instruments elaborated by Mr. Espinosa, reference was made to the foundry.

That name was transformed from generation to generation, to be called the place as a Foundation, possibly because there was no document to formalize the initial name, and younger generations of the twentieth century did not find reasons to keep the name of *Foundry*.

Fundación was elevated to Municipal District in the year 2003. By then it belonged to the municipality of Barahona Province, head of the province of the same name. When being raised to the municipality in the year 2003, the community of Pescadería was incorporated to it, as Municipal District, Hato Viejo and La Hoya as sections, and the places Habanero, Batey Altagracia and Los Algodones.

The municipality is located on the eastern margin of the Yaque del Sur River, which is known as the Yaque River Basin. The urban center is located about 16 kilometers (*10 miles*) from the city of Barahona.

Distrito Nacional

**Distrito Nacional** (*English: The National District*) is a subdivision of the Dominican Republic where the city of Santo Domingo de Guzmán, the country's capital, is located.

The National District is considered "special" given its political importance, it is neither a municipality nor a province, although technically it exercises the function of both.

From 1844 to 1932, it belonged to the Province of Santo Domingo; in 1932 when the Province of Santo Domingo was divided in two, it became the "National Province". In 1935 it became a National District and the following year it would be renamed Santo Domingo District, returning to the previous denomination in 1955.

Jean-Louis Ferrand

**Jean-Louis Ferrand,** (Born December 13, 1758 in Besançon, France – November 7, 1808 at the end of the battle of Palo Hincado near El Seibo), was a French general of the Revolution and the Empire.

## Biography

### America, the French Revolution and Santo Domingo

Participant as a volunteer in the war of independence in North America. Back in France, he joined a dragoon regiment as a squadron leader in 1793. Arrested then as a "fayettista", he was released after the 9th of Thermidor. Appointed brigadier general on April 9, 1794, he commanded the armies of the West, the Ardennes, and Sambre-et-Meuse. After the Treaty of Amiens, he governed the department of Pas-de-Calais and was part of the Santo Domingo expedition. In less than four months, this colony was subdued, but in November 1802 a new general insurrection broke out; Yellow fever took General Leclerc and Ferrand was left in charge of defending the French part of the colony.

### Governor of Santo Domingo

Attacked by Dessalines, successor to Toussaint Louverture, who led a troop of 22,000 blacks, he defeated him on March 18, 1803. The Santo Domingo expedition failed and the French faced an alternative: abandon the island or take refuge in the old Spanish part. More than 2,000 surviving soldiers crossed over to the eastern part of the island in December 1803.

Ferrand, appointed French governor, remained there for almost five years. He brought 10,000 slaves to develop the plantation economy in the east of the island. In the fortress of the capital, he resisted an invasion of Dessalines in 1805. The reinforcements received from France were annihilated in the battle of San Domingo on February 6, 1806 by the British fleet of John Thomas Duckworth, Governor of Jamaica.

Toribio Montes, the governor of Puerto Rico, promoted an insurrection, producing the rupture between France and Spain. On November 7, 1808, Ferrand, leading 500 soldiers, was attacked by more than 2,000 rebels near Palo Hincado. The first shock was terrible. Quickly, the enemy cavalry overwhelmed the two wings of the French column, breaking ranks. Spanish militias mutinied in the battle. Most of the officers and soldiers were killed and the rest fled. Ferrand tried to reach the capital with a group of officers, but on the way, reduced to despair, he shot himself in the head with his pistol. General Joseph-David de Barquier remained in charge of the garrison. Being besieged in the fortress of Santo Domingo, he had to negotiate the evacuation in July 1809. The province went over to the side of anti-Napoleonic Spain.

### Honors and recognitions

Fort Montboucons, in Besançon, is named after Boulanger de Ferrand in his honor.

## Description:

King Hamlet is specifically referred to as 'Ghost' in the stage directions of *Hamlet*. According to certain accounts, he was played by Shakespeare himself.

## Story:

King Hamlet appears three times in the play. The first appearance is before the soldiers Bernardo and Marcellus and Hamlet's friend Horatio. Horatio attempts to speak with the Ghost, but it leaves as it is about to strike morning. The guards note two prior appearances of the ghost, and all are seemingly aware that it is of the late king.

Horation recognizes that the Ghost's appearance must be somehow related to matters of state, and so he finds Hamlet and convinces them to stay up 'til midnight and meet with the Ghost. King Hamlet tells the young prince that he had been murdered by his brother Claudius, and requests that Hamlet avenge him. He also states his dissatisfaction with his wife Gertrude fro marrying Claudius, but warns Hamlet not to interact with her.

In King Hamlet's third appearance, Hamlet is confronted by the Ghost in his mother's closet, and is scolded for not carrying out his revenge and for disobeying his instructions by speaking with Gertrude. Following this, the Ghost is not seen again.
