**Lesson: Road Funding in Australia**

**Introduction:** Road funding is an essential aspect of infrastructure provision in Australia. This lesson will explore the current road funding arrangements in Australia and examine potential directions under the proposed AusLink program. We will also consider alternative funding rationales, including focusing on areas with higher social values and tying funding to transport-related taxes.

**Section 1: Current Road Funding Arrangements in Australia**

- **Theoretical Concept:** The Australian government currently funds one-fifth of the country's road infrastructure through various programs such as the National Highway, black spot (serious accident locations), Roads of National Significance, and local roads.

- **Practical Example:** In 2020, the Australian government allocated $4.8 billion to road infrastructure projects across the country, with the bulk of the funding going towards regional areas.

- **Questions and Answers:** Why does the Australian government prioritize funding for regional areas?
- Answer: The Australian government prioritizes funding for regional areas because they have a higher need for infrastructure development compared to urban areas.

**Section 2: Alternative Funding Rationales**

- **Theoretical Concept:** Alternative funding rationales include focusing on areas with higher social values (that is, higher social benefit/cost ratios) and tying funding to transport-related taxes.

- **Practical Example:** One example of an alternative funding rationale is the use of tolls to fund road infrastructure projects. Tolls are charged to users of the road, which helps to cover the costs of maintaining and improving the road.

- **Questions and Answers:** How does the use of tolls as an alternative funding rationale differ from the current approach in Australia?
- Answer: The use of tolls as an alternative funding rationale differs from the current approach in Australia because it shifts the burden of funding road infrastructure from the government to users of the road.

**Section 3: The Commonwealth Government's Role in Infrastructure Provision**

- **Theoretical Concept:** The Commonwealth Government plays a significant role in infrastructure provision in Australia.

- **Practical Example:** The Australian government has recently announced a $15 billion infrastructure package to support economic recovery following the COVID-19 pandemic.

- **Questions and Answers:** What is the role of the Commonwealth Government in infrastructure provision?
- Answer: The Commonwealth Government plays a significant role in infrastructure provision by providing funding and policy support for infrastructure projects across the country.

**Conclusion:** This lesson has explored the current road funding arrangements in Australia and considered alternative funding rationales. By understanding these concepts, we can better appreciate the complexities involved in infrastructure provision and apply our knowledge to new problems.

**Glossary:**
- Road funding: The process of financing the construction, maintenance, and operation of roads.
- Infrastructure: Physical structures such as roads, bridges, and buildings that are necessary for the proper functioning of a society or economy.
- Social benefit/cost ratio: A measure of the benefits of a project or program relative to its costs.

Lesson: How to Sort Search Results Based on Average Rank

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn how to sort search results based on the average rank of the documents. We will use Lucene/Solr, an open-source search engine library, to achieve this task.

Core Value:
The core value of this lesson is to teach how to sort search results based on the average rank of the documents using Lucene/Solr.

Lesson:
1. Overview:
In this lesson, we will learn how to sort search results based on the average rank of the documents. We will use Lucene/Solr, an open-source search engine library, to achieve this task.

2. Background:
Lucene/Solr is a powerful search engine library that allows us to index and search large amounts of data quickly and efficiently. It provides several methods to sort search results based on different criteria, such as relevance, score, and field values. However, it does not provide an out-of-the-box solution to sort search results based on the average rank of the documents.

3. Steps to Sort Search Results Based on Average Rank:
To sort search results based on the average rank of the documents, we need to follow these steps:

Step 1: Create a function that computes the average rank of the documents based on the query terms.
Step 2: Store the search results in a data structure that supports sorting.
Step 3: Sort the search results based on the average rank computed in Step 1.
Step 4: Return the sorted search results.

4. Example:
Suppose we have the following documents:

| Product | Manufacturer | Rank |
|---------|--------------|------|
| P1      | M1           | 5    |
| P1      | M2           | 3    |
| P2      | M1           | 7    |
| P2      | M2           | 6    |
| P3      | M1           | 1    |
| P3      | M2           | 8    |

We want to return the top manufacturers across products P1, P2, and P3 with the highest average rank on these products.

Using the example query "q=product:p1+product:p2+product:p3; sort score desc", we can compute the average rank of the documents based on the query terms and sort the search results accordingly.

5. Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned how to sort search results based on the average rank of the documents using Lucene/Solr. By following the steps outlined above, we can easily implement this functionality in our search application.

Glossary:
- Lucene/Solr: An open-source search engine library used to index and search large amounts of data quickly and efficiently.
- Query: A statement used to retrieve information from a database or search engine.
- Rank: A measure of the relevance or importance of a document in response to a query.

Self-Debate Discussion:
Why is it important to sort search results based on the average rank of the documents? Can you think of any real-world scenarios where this functionality could be useful?

Lesson: Introduction to Pharmacology

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

In this lesson, we will learn about pharmacology - the study of drugs and their effects on the body. We will explore how medications work, their uses, and potential side effects.

**Question:** What is pharmacology?

**Answer:** Pharmacology is the scientific study of how drugs interact with living organisms to produce a change in function. It deals with the mechanisms of drug action, the classification of drugs, their therapeutic effects, and the relationship between drug concentration and effect.

## Section 2: Practical Examples

Let's consider an example of a medication called Topamax. It is used to treat seizures and migraines.

**Question:** What are the possible side effects of Topamax?

**Answer:** Some possible side effects of Topamax include difficulty with concentration, speech and language problems, cognitive slowing, drowsiness, dizziness, tingling of distal extremities/face, unsteadiness and fatigue. These side effects are more likely with higher starting doses and quickly increasing doses. Decreased appetite, weight loss, and kidney stones have also been reported.

## Section 3: Real-World Scenarios

Now let's consider how pharmacology applies to real-world scenarios.

**Question:** How can I use pharmacology to help someone with seizures and migraines?

**Answer:** If someone you know is suffering from seizures and migraines, you could suggest that they consult with a doctor to see if Topamax might be a suitable medication for them. You could also advise them to discuss any other medications they are taking with their doctor, as Topamax may interact with other drugs such as Tegretol, TegretolXR, Carbatrol, and Dilantin. Additionally, you could inform them that oral contraceptive pills may be less effective when taken with Topamax, so they may need to use a higher hormonal content pill to prevent pregnancy.

Glossary:
- Pharmacology: the scientific study of how drugs interact with living organisms to produce a change in function.
- Topamax: a medication used to treat seizures and migraines.
- Side effects: undesirable secondary effects of a drug or medication.
- Interaction: when two or more substances combine to produce a different effect than when each is given alone.
- Therapeutic effects: the beneficial effects of a drug or medication.

Conclusion:

Pharmacology is an important field of study that helps us understand how medications work and how they can be used to treat various medical conditions.

- Gravure printing: This is a high-quality printing method that uses engraved rollers to transfer ink onto the packaging material. It is commonly used for printing high-resolution graphics, photographs, and intricate designs.
- Digital printing: This is a modern printing method that uses digital files to create designs directly on the packaging material. It offers greater flexibility, faster turnaround times, and lower costs compared to traditional printing methods.
Section 2: Inks and Finishes
Inks and finishes are used to create unique and attractive packaging designs. Some of the common inks and finishes used in packaging printing include:
- High opacity inks: These inks are used to create designs with high contrast and vibrant colors. They are ideal for printing on dark or transparent materials.
- UV-resistant inks: These inks are used to protect packaging materials from UV radiation, which can cause fading and discoloration over time.
- Scuff-resistant coatings: These coatings are used to protect packaging materials from scratches and scuffs, which can damage the design and reduce the product's appeal.
Section 3: Practical Examples
Packaging printing technology can be applied in various industries, including food, beverages, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. Here are some practical examples of how packaging printing technology can be used to create unique and attractive designs:
- Food packaging: Packaging printing technology can be used to create eye-catching designs that showcase the product's brand identity and appeal to consumers. For example, a food manufacturer can use high-quality gravure printing to create photographic images of their products, which can help to increase sales.
- Beverage packaging: Packaging printing technology can be used to create designs that reflect the product's personality and target audience. For example, a beverage company can use digital printing to create customized labels that feature images, text, and graphics that resonate with their target audience.
- Cosmetic packaging: Packaging printing technology can be used to create luxurious and sophisticated designs that appeal to consumers. For example, a cosmetic company can use flexographic printing to create matte finishes that give their products a high-end feel.
Conclusion:
Packaging printing technology is an essential aspect of product marketing.

Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue - and two to three years of religious training before the marriage, according to the Spanish Catholic church, which wants couples to prepare more thoroughly before tying the knot.

The country’s Catholic hierarchy has designed a “two-to-three year” course for engaged couples to take before their nuptials in a bid to tackle Spain's high divorce rates.

At the moment, couples only have 20 hours of spiritual guidance before having a church wedding in Spain.

“Marriage training cannot be done in 20 hours. To become a priest requires seven years in the seminary, so how can we say it’s 20 hours to become a husband, wife, father and mother?” remarked Mario Iceta, the bishop of Bilbao and chair of the Spanish Episcopal Conference’s (CEE) family committee, on presenting the initiative.

Bishop Iceta said that when he had served as a parish priest, he would ask couples why they thought they were present on the short marriage course, and some replied that they were there to get permission to marry in church.

“Wrong. You are here because according to the statistics, 40 per cent of marriages are broken after five years, and 60 per cent after 15 years,” the bishop said at the presentation on Thursday.

Lesson: Introduction to Banking and Financial Regulation

### Section 1: Understanding the Basics

**Topic:** What is banking and financial regulation?

**Explanation:** Banking refers to the process of accepting deposits, lending money, and providing other financial services such as credit cards, loans, and investments. Financial regulation is the process of monitoring and controlling the activities of banks and other financial institutions to ensure their stability and protect consumers from fraudulent practices.

**Question:** Why do we need financial regulation?

**Answer:** Financial regulation is necessary to prevent financial crises, protect consumers from fraudulent practices, and ensure the stability of the banking system.

**Definition:** The purpose of financial regulation is to maintain public confidence in the banking system and protect consumers from unfair or deceptive practices.

**Example:** In 2008, the United States experienced a severe financial crisis due to the collapse of several large banks. This crisis led to the passage of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which established new rules and oversight for the financial industry to prevent future crises.

### Section 2: Understanding the Role of the Federal Reserve

**Topic:** What is the Federal Reserve and what is its role in banking regulation?

**Explanation:** The Federal Reserve is the central bank of the United States. It was created by Congress in 1913 to provide a stable monetary system and regulate the banking industry. The Fed has the power to set interest rates, print money, and regulate banks to ensure their stability and protect consumers.

**Question:** How does the Federal Reserve regulate banks?

**Answer:** The Fed regulates banks by setting minimum capital requirements, conducting regular exams to ensure compliance with these requirements, and enforcing laws and regulations to prevent fraud and other abuses.

**Definition:** Minimum capital requirements are the minimum amount of money that banks must hold in reserve to ensure their stability and protect consumers from losses.

**Example:** After the 2008 financial crisis, the Fed implemented new minimum capital requirements for banks to ensure they had enough money on hand to weather future economic downturns.

### Section 3: Understanding Debit Card Fees

**Topic:** What are debit card fees and why do banks charge them?

**Explanation:** Debit card fees are the fees that banks charge merchants when customers use their debit cards to make purchases. Banks charge these fees to generate revenue and cover the costs of processing the transactions.

**Question:** Are debit card fees legal?

**Answer:** Yes, debit card fees are legal, but they are subject to regulation by the Federal Reserve.

**Definition:** Interchange fees are the fees that banks charge each other for processing debit card transactions.

**Example:** In 2010, the Federal Reserve capped the amount that banks could charge merchants for debit card transactions, which led to a decrease in interchange fees and an increase in the cost of providing debit card services for banks.

### Conclusion

In this lesson, we learned about the basics of banking and financial regulation, the role of the Federal Reserve in regulating banks, and the issue of debit card fees. We discussed the importance of financial regulation, the purpose of minimum capital requirements, and the impact of the Fed's regulation of debit card fees. By understanding these concepts, we can better understand the complex world of banking and finance and apply our knowledge to new problems.

The influence of selected antiarrhythmic drugs on the hemodynamic parameters in rabbits during anesthesia. Part II. Thiopental anesthesia.
The aim of the study was to investigate the combined influence of thiopental and antiarrhythmic drugs: procainamide, N-acetylprocainamide, verapamil or propranolol on hemodynamic parameters in rabbits: arterial blood pressure, heart rate, cardiac output, stroke volume, peripheral vascular resistance, renal and hepatic blood flows. Propranolol used during thiopental anesthesia deepened the decrease of hepatic and renal blood flow resulting from the action of the anesthetic drug. Verapamil in a dose that did not change hepatic blood flow caused significant decrease of that parameter during thiopental anesthesia. Other hemodynamic changes observed after administration of antiarrhythmic drugs during thiopental anesthesia are essentially similar to those resulting from the action of antiarrhythmic drugs alone. The administration of procainamide or N-acetylprocainamide during thiopental anaesthesia in rabbits had no significant influence on hemodynamic changes evoked by thiopental alone. Verapamil injected to rabbits together with thiopental caused a significant decrease of blood flow in the liver, which was not observed after thiopental alone or verapamil alone. Propranolol injection together with thiopental caused a decrease of blood pressure, heart rate, cardiac output but an increase of vascular peripheral resistance, which was similar to the action of propranolol alone. Propranolol administered during thiopental anesthesia caused a significant decrease of the renal and hepatic blood flow, more marked than after the injection of that beta-blocker alone.

Lesson: Hemodynamics and Antiarrhythmic Drugs
Introduction:
Hemodynamics is the study of blood flow and the forces involved in circulation. Understanding the effects of antiarrhythmic drugs on hemodynamics is crucial for medical professionals, as these drugs are used to treat abnormal heart rhythms. In this lesson, we will explore the impact of selected antiarrhythmic drugs on hemodynamic parameters in rabbits during anesthesia.
Objectives:
- Understand the effects of antiarrhythmic drugs on hemodynamic parameters.
- Identify the differences in the effects of various antiarrhythmic drugs.
- Analyze the impact of thiopental anesthesia on hemodynamic parameters.
Section 1: Hemodynamic Parameters
Hemodynamic parameters are essential for understanding the circulatory system's functioning. These parameters include arterial blood pressure, heart rate, cardiac output, stroke volume, peripheral vascular resistance, renal blood flow, and hepatic blood flow.
Section 2: Antiarrhythmic Drugs
Antiarrhythmic drugs are medications that help regulate abnormal heart rhythms. Some common antiarrhythmic drugs include procainamide, N-acetylprocainamide, verapamil, and propranolol.
Section 3: Thiopental Anesthesia
Thiopental anesthesia is a type of general anesthesia that involves the use of the drug thiopental. This drug is administered intravenously and induces a state of unconsciousness in the patient.
Section 4: Results
The study found that propranolol used during thiopental anesthesia deepened the decrease of hepatic and renal blood flow resulting from the action of the anesthetic drug. Verapamil in a dose that did not change hepatic blood flow caused a significant decrease of that parameter during thiopental anesthesia. Other hemodynamic changes observed after administration of antiarrhythmic drugs during thiopental anesthesia are essentially similar to those resulting from the action of antiarrhythmic drugs alone. The administration of procainamide or N-acetylprocainamide during thiopental anesthesia had no significant influence on hemodynamic changes evoked by thiopental alone.
Section 5: Conclusion
Understanding the effects of antiarrhythmic drugs on hemodynamic parameters is essential for medical professionals. The administration of certain antiarrhythmic drugs can cause significant changes in hemodynamic parameters, such as blood pressure, heart rate, and blood flow. Thiopental anesthesia also has an impact on hemodynamic parameters, and the use of antiarrhythmic drugs during thiopental anesthesia can further alter these parameters. By understanding these effects, medical professionals can better manage patients receiving antiarrhythmic drugs and make informed decisions about anesthesia options.

In this lesson, we will learn about PeopleSoft development, which involves creating custom applications and modifications to the existing software to meet specific business needs.

## Section 2: Understanding PeopleSoft Development
PeopleSoft development requires knowledge of programming languages such as Java, PeopleCode, and SQL. It also requires an understanding of the PeopleSoft architecture, including components, pages, and records. As a developer, you will work with other teams, such as project managers, analysts, and end-users, to identify requirements, design solutions, and implement changes to the software.

## Section 3: Practical Examples of PeopleSoft Development
Let's consider a scenario where a company wants to add a new field to an existing record in the Financials module of PeopleSoft. The field is called "Tax Rate" and will be used to calculate sales tax on invoices. To implement this change, a developer would need to write a custom program that modifies the record to include the new field. They would also need to ensure that the field is displayed on the appropriate pages and that the calculations for sales tax are updated to include the new Tax Rate field.

## Section 4: Self-Debate Discussion
Why is it important for developers to work closely with other teams such as project managers, analysts, and end-users? How does this collaboration affect the quality and success of the final product?

Goldman Sachs overnight reported that its fourth-quarter profit had tripled. Credit:Getty Images Extraordinary moment It is the crystallisation of an extraordinary moment in the halls of US finance. Goldman, like other marquee banking companies, is hunting for new business as its traditional ones falter. Regulations rolled out since the 2008 financial crisis have put a crimp in deal-making, Wall Street's traditional expertise. The high-powered bond trading desks that generated most of Goldman's pre-crisis profits now make only a fraction of what they did before. Over the past year, Goldman executives have been preparing to introduce 401(k) accounts (employer-sponsored retirement savings accounts), loans for people saddled with credit card debt and new investment funds that can be purchased by anyone with an E-Trade account. It will all be online only. In fact, Goldman thinks one of its advantages will be that it does not have the historical baggage - read, expense - of traditional branches and tellers. All of this has prompted some head-scratching in the industry, given that Goldman has so little experience in the hotly competitive field of retail banking. Not least among the challenges: getting Americans to warm to a bank that has been maligned as a symbol of Wall Street greed during the 2008 crisis.

'The Nike of finance' At least one new customer dismissed that worry. "Of course they get blamed for stuff," said Daniel Sigal, a 24-year-old college student in the Los Angeles area who calls himself a Wall Street hopeful. But "Goldman Sachs is the Nike of finance," he said - a brand everyone knows. Its foray into banking is "very, very positive," he said. He also liked the 1.05 per cent interest rate on savings accounts that Goldman offered, which dwarfed the 0.01 per cent he was getting from Wells Fargo. The average is 0.54 per cent, according to Bankrate.com. Goldman will have to pull in many people like Sigal to make even a tiny difference in its annual revenue, which tends to be measured in the tens of billions of dollars. The senior Goldman executive overseeing all of this said that none of these businesses were lines that he could have imagined the firm getting involved in even five years ago. "We had an opportunity to take a clean sheet of paper and draw out what we might do," said that executive, Stephen Scherr, the chief of strategy for Goldman and the chief executive of its federally insured bank.

'Great potential' Before the crisis, Goldman did not even have a federally insured bank; it was forced to open one as a condition of receiving bailout funds during the financial crisis. Initially, the bank was viewed by executives as a drag. More recently, though, Goldman has come to view the bank as one of its brightest opportunities. "Over the years, it became clear that the bank had greater potential to help grow the firm," Scherr said. Behind the scenes, Goldman executives have been debating how far they want to expand their new retail offerings and if they eventually want to end up with something that would look more like a full-service online bank. The company is in the earliest stages, and it could back off if the initial experiments fail. So far, interest has been strong. Scherr said that the bank had opened tens of thousands of new accounts in its first few weeks, in addition to the 150,000 accounts it acquired from GE Capital. (Goldman bought the online banking arm of General Electric's financial services subsidiary this year, acquiring about $US16 billion in deposits as part of the deal.)

Surge of interest Although Goldman has a 50-person call centre in Iowa, it was unprepared for the surge of interest in its fledgling retail bank. Soon after the bank's debut, a columnist at The Wall Street Journal wrote about the many hiccups he encountered while trying to open an account, including error messages and confused call centre representatives. Goldman's' way forward is likely to be anything but easy, even with billions backing it. It faces lots of entrenched competitors and has almost no experience in the human elements of this kind of banking, such as customer service. Jay Sidhu, the founder of one of the many new competitors Goldman is facing, BankMobile, is sceptical of Goldman's prospects, given the importance of customer service in retail banking and Goldman's lack of experience in the area. He said it would have to offer something more than good prices to attract and keep customers. "I have a lot of respect for Goldman - but you cannot be great at everything," said Sidhu, who is also the chairman and chief executive of BankMobile's parent company, Customers Bank. Goldman is betting that its investments in technology will help it take advantage of big changes in the financial industry over the last five years, during which banks have moved away from a business model based on relationships and branches and toward one that is more reliant on smartphones and software.

Technology disruption Scherr said that Goldman was looking broadly at businesses where it could use its technology to provide a cheaper banking product. He cited small-business lending as a particularly attractive area for potential expansion, calling it "ripe for technology disruption". The strategy of offering what are essentially discount financial products is a somewhat unexpected one for Goldman, given that it has long been known as the most upscale firm on Wall Street. This is somewhat like Maserati making a push into the motorised bicycle market. But the offerings, if successful, could provide a valuable public perception payoff for Goldman by softening the firm's image as a remote bastion of power and wealth. The first big test will come later this year when Goldman starts offering a lending product targeting people who need relatively small personal loans of around $US15,000 to $US25,000. Overseeing that effort is an executive hired from the credit card company Discover, Harit Talwar, who runs a team of about 50 people working on the so-called Mosaic project on the 26th floor of Goldman's headquarters in Manhattan. Many of the employees are coders working on sophisticated ways to gauge the credit quality of potential borrowers. Last fall, Goldman introduced its first low-cost exchange-traded funds, which are managed according to computer algorithms and can be purchased through any brokerage account. Then, a few months back, Goldman purchased a small startup, Honest Dollar, that offers inexpensive accounts for retirement savings, aimed at freelancers and other part-time workers in the so-called gig economy.

These products are not all being run out of the bank. But Scherr said that the new offerings were being built with a common technological infrastructure that will make it easier for them to interact and potentially integrate. Scherr is working closely with the head of technology at Goldman, Marty Chavez, who has been trying to open up the bank to new customers and business strategies. Sidhu, of BankMobile, said he was not expecting big things but was watching with curiosity. "If Goldman wants to be a retail bank for every six-pack Joe, I wish them a lot of luck, because they will need it." The New York Times

Lesson Title: Introduction to Retail Banking

Introduction:
Retail banking is the provision of services by a bank to individual customers, rather than to corporations or other banks. It includes services such as accepting deposits, providing loans, and offering credit cards and mortgages. In this lesson, we will explore the basics of retail banking, including its history, how it works, and the different types of services offered.

Section 1: History of Retail Banking

Retail banking has a long history that dates back to ancient civilizations. The first known retail bank was established in Babylon around 2000 BCE. The bank accepted deposits, made loans, and exchanged coins. This was followed by the establishment of goldsmiths in medieval Europe, who also provided banking services. In the 17th century, the first modern retail banks were established in Italy and the Netherlands. Today, retail banking is a major part of the banking industry, with many large banks focusing primarily on serving individual customers.

Section 2: How Retail Banking Works

Retail banking works by accepting deposits from customers and using those deposits to make loans. Banks earn interest on the money they lend, while paying interest to customers who deposit money with the bank. The bank also charges fees for various services, such as withdrawing money from an ATM or overdrawing an account. The bank's goal is to earn more money from the interest it charges on loans than it pays in interest on deposits and fees.

Section 3: Types of Services Offered by Retail Banks

Retail banks offer a wide range of services to individual customers. These include:

- Checking accounts: A checking account allows customers to deposit and withdraw money, as well as write checks to pay bills.
- Savings accounts: A savings account allows customers to save money and earn interest on their balance.
- Credit cards: A credit card allows customers to borrow money to make purchases, and pay interest on any outstanding balance.
- Mortgages: A mortgage is a loan used to purchase a home, which is secured by the property itself.
- Personal loans: A personal loan is an unsecured loan that can be used for any purpose, such as paying off debt or making a major purchase.
- Investment products: Many retail banks also offer investment products, such as mutual funds or retirement accounts, to help customers grow their wealth.

Section 4: Conclusion

In conclusion, retail banking is a vital part of the banking industry, providing individuals with a wide range of services to help them manage their money. By understanding the basics of retail banking, we can make informed decisions about our financial lives and choose the banking products that best meet our needs.


text: So, as a start, I am posting the report of this nice catch made by my friend Savaş back in 2009.. Savaş is a very skilled angler with a special interest in catching enormous European seabass. I can honestly say that he is very good at it :). Below is the short report written directly by Savaş:. "It was a very exciting night of fishing back in September 2009. Actually I wasn't planning to go after seabass that night as I was just fishing for mullets. After witnessing an attack of a good sized seabass on a mullet I had hooked, I decided to switch to my spinning setup and put on a lure resembling a juvenile mullet. While I was retrieving the lure for the thirtieth time, I got a huge hit and after an hard fight I landed my first 3.8 kg bass. After the catch I kept fishing and had to wait for almost two hours before a second bass hit my lure again. The second one weighted 3.3 kg. That was an unforgettable night of fishing and made me a good seabass fisherman..."

Lesson: Catching Fish with Savaş

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn about catching fish from Savaş's experience. We will cover the techniques used, the equipment needed, and the importance of patience and persistence. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to apply these skills to catch your own fish.

Section 1: Techniques Used

Topic 1: Switching Bait

Savaş was originally fishing for mullets but switched to a lure resembling a juvenile mullet when he saw a seabass attack his prey. This shows that being flexible and adaptable can lead to successful fishing.

Topic 2: Patience and Persistence

Savaş had to wait for almost two hours before a second bass hit his lure again. This demonstrates the importance of being patient and persistent in fishing. You may not catch a fish on your first try, but with perseverance, you can eventually succeed.

Topic 3: Using Lures

Savaş used a lure resembling a juvenile mullet to catch his seabass. This shows that using the right type of lure can increase your chances of catching fish. Different lures work better for different types of fish, so it's essential to do research and choose the appropriate one.

Section 2: Equipment Needed

Topic 1: Spinning Setup

Savaş used a spinning setup to catch his seabass. A spinning setup consists of a rod, reel, and line. The rod should be lightweight and flexible, while the reel should be strong and reliable. The line should be thin and strong, able to hold the weight of the fish without breaking.

Topic 2: Lures

Lures are artificial baits designed to mimic the appearance or movement of real prey. They come in various shapes, sizes, and colors, and can be made from materials such as plastic, metal, or feathers. Some common types of lures include crankbaits, spinners, and jigs.

Section 3: Conclusion

By following Savaş's techniques and using the right equipment, you too can catch fish. Remember to be patient and persistent, as success may not come immediately. With practice and experience, you will become a better fisherman and be able to apply these skills to other fishing situations.

Glossary:
- Spinning Setup: A type of fishing gear that includes a rod, reel, and line.
- Lure: An artificial bait designed to mimic the appearance or movement of real prey.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned about the techniques used by Savaş to catch seabass, the equipment needed, and the importance of patience and persistence. By applying these skills, you can successfully catch fish in various scenarios.

Q:

Resource Only DLL - folders, paths

I didn't find enough informations to really understand how to create a resource only DLL and what types of file I can build into. I'm developing a lightweight graphics engine in C++ based on DirectX 11. It uses third party libraries (for GUI rendering for example) and it requires lot of textures, bitmap fonts etc. So, it would be great to build these resources into a dll because it should be part of my engine and it shouldn't be accessable by anyone using this engine.
Before rendering GUI (3rd party api), paths to folders containing resources have to be specified. And here is the problem. I guess it's not possible, but I have to ask. Is it possible to keep a directory structure in dll? And if only method how to load resources requires path to file (std::string), how to get a path to these resources if they are built in dll?
What is the typical approach to create an embedded resource?

A:

Is it possible to keep a directory structure in dll?

Resources in a DLL are stored in a flat layout with no hierarchy. You just have a list of resources, each with its own unique identifier. If you wish to impose hierarchy you need to implement that external to the resource DLL.

textbook:
No, it is not possible to keep a directory structure in a DLL. However, you can embed resources such as images, sounds, and other files into the DLL itself. This is done by adding the resource to the DLL project and then compiling it into the DLL. Once the resource is compiled into the DLL, you can access it using a handle or a pointer.

To load resources that are built into the DLL, you can use the LoadLibrary() function to load the DLL and then use the GetProcAddress() function to get the address of the resource you want to load. Once you have the address, you can use it to load the resource using the appropriate API functions.

The typical approach to create an embedded resource is to add the resource to the project and then compile it into the DLL. This can be done using the Resource Compiler (RC.exe) which comes with the Windows SDK. The RC.exe tool allows you to create a resource script that specifies the name, type, and location of each resource in the DLL.

Here is an example of how to embed a bitmap image into a DLL using the Resource Compiler:

1. Open the Command Prompt and navigate to the directory where your DLL project is located.
2. Type "rc -help" to see the available options for the Resource Compiler.
3. Create a new resource script file (e.g., myapp.rc) using the following code:

BITMAP my_image_resource \
    "my_image.bmp" \
    BMP

4. Save the file and run the following commands in the Command Prompt:

rc -i myapp.res -m myapp.rc

link /OUT:myapp.dll /INCLUDE:myapp.res

5. The resource script file (myapp.res) will be generated in the same directory as your DLL project. Open it in a text editor and verify that the resource is correctly added.

6. Build the DLL using the link command above.

Once the DLL is built, you can load the image resource using the following code:

HMODULE hModule = LoadLibrary("myapp.dll");
if (hModule) {
    // Get the address of the resource using GetProcAddress()
    FARPROC proc = GetProcAddress(hModule, "my_image_resource");
    // Load the resource using the appropriate API functions
}

In summary, to create an embedded resource in a DLL, you need to add the resource to the project, compile it into the DLL using the Resource Compiler, and then load the resource using the appropriate API functions.
