Ilha do Pico

27 January 2009 · 1 min read

Video

Um vídeo que encontrei no grande Vimeo, apenas com vídeos originais, sobre a nossa fantástica ilha do Pico produzido por um português dos nossos.

PICO ... A very special mountain...
Pico, the most southerly island in the central group of the Azores, lies east of Faial and southwest of Sao Jorge, from which it is separated by the 18km/11mi wide Canal de Sao Jorge.

Topography: The rugged and mountainous island of Pico, 48km/30mi long and up to 15km/9mi wide, with an area of 433sq.km/167sq.mi, rises at its western end to the prominent Pico Alto (2,351m/7,714ft), the highest peak not only in the Azores but in the whole of Portugal. The highest point in the eastern half of the island is the Pico Topo (1,633m/5,358ft)…

Comportamento Animal: Esquema Infantil

Other Video

[Konrad Lorenz](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konrad_Lorenz) foi quem introduziu o conceito de Esquema Infantil (ou [Kindchenschema](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuteness)), relacionando-o com um conjunto de características apresentadas por alguns animais e, por todas as crias de um modo geral - pequeno tamanho do corpo, cabeça desproporcionalmente grande, olhos grandes situados abaixo na face, com testa grande e as maçãs do rosto proeminentes, membros curtos e roliços e movimentos descoordenados - o que também constitui uma verificação da Lei da Somação Heterogénea (estímulos actuando cumulativamente num mesmo sentido).
Estas características infantis, universalmente reconhecidas, - mesmo inter-espécies - reduzem a agressividade de terceiros e, aditivamente, potenciam os cuidados epimeléticos, aumentando a fitness dos indivíduos. Isto pode eventualmente estar na base da preferência da maior parte dos humanos por animais que retenham estas características durante toda a vida - como o Panda Gigante e o Koala.Este vídeo atesta o poder do Kindchenschema numa situação concreta. Muito obrigado à Sofia pelo vídeo =)

No Estreito de Dover, incluído no Canal da Mancha, passam diariamente mais de 400 embarcações entre cargueiros, petroleiros ou os simples ferrys que fazem a ligação entre França e Inglaterra.

CakePHP Plugins

14 February 2008 · 3 min read

Paper PHP

Motivation

This paper is intended to try to improve the next version of Cake. I think one of the most important features of a framework is its capacity to be expanded. Plugins achieve that gracefully. But there is a problem; plugins, as read on tempdocs, are meant to be packages. I think they can be much more. This is mainly a software design problem.

Where they fail

Point #1

Cake creates conventions for everything turning controllers, models and views universal. Same happens to plugins, but because of namespace concerns it is recommended to developers to include plugins name in controllers, models and views names. So a blog plugin would have BlogPost and BlogComment as models, BlogPosts and BlogComments as controllers. That’s fine to me (and recommended) but the Router should be smart so it won’t be necessary URI’s like /blog/blogPosts.
