The Apprentice: Episode 8: Corporate Away Day - Key Business Lessons for Entrepreneurs
by Bianca Miller-ColeThe Apprentice Episode 8: The Task
The teams have to host a corporate away day onboard the iconic Belmond British Pullman Train. The candidates will have to lay on food, drink and entertainment while securing a good ticket price from the corporate clients to ensure a large profit—a task that requires the teams to showcase their organization and hospitality skills.
The two archetypal “posh” kids get made into project managers—thank goodness, because it didn't appear as though they ever intended to put themselves forward in earnest or that they would be chosen by their fellow team members.
The Apprentice Episode 8: Key Skills
This task required a number of key skills that are essential in business—below I have articulated each skill and its relevance in real life business scenarios.
1) Choose your team wisely
Think of who can do what and how, but be clear on what they should be doing, how and when. Whilst considering that, there can be a fine line between leadership and dictatorship.
I feel like I shouldn't have to say this again but here we are... if we are looking at team work, an effective leader needs to understand how to lead. Part of being an effective leader is also being part of the team and showing a willingness to get ones hands dirty with the team. Thus delegation and team work are a necessary and desirable element of leadership.
Realistically, in real life, this may be more simple as your team leader isn’t also vying for £250,000.
2) Sales
There are various elements to selling;
- Ask the right questions—if they want a party and you offer a luxury afternoon tea then you have missed the problem the client has asked you to solve. Think about what the client wants and plan accordingly. If your attention is on selling and budget, then remember your job is to deliver great solutions that fit the client and still ensure that you are in profit.
- Art of silence—in negotiation, I have said it before and I will say it again: the first to speak loses. So if you put an offer on the table, say it and wait. The candidates seem to be afraid of silence so they jump in offering further discount.
- Pricing—Do not pluck the cost out of thin air, think about who the client is and ask the right questions, whilst keeping your price point in mind. In real life, you would have mapped out all of the costs and you would know your price point and margin for negotiation—or at least I hope so.
- Once the deal is done—Ask the right questions again - i.e. are there any dietary requirements. It is your job to know your customer really well and a factual brief taking exercise is an essential part of that.
3) Under promise, Over Deliver
You cannot over promise on alcohol and suggest an event wide bottomless scenario. If you are offering bottomless alcohol, then offer it for a condensed period of time.
If you choose to say a service is luxury or Michelin starred, make sure that you are offering just that. Saying a service or product is luxury heightens expectations so be aware of this.
4) Listening is a vital communication skill
The Apprentice is tough. As a viewer, I am shouting at the screen, saying “the PM says no, so do not book an act! Why would you book the act?” But I also know that if they lost on lack of entertainment, Lord Sugar would ask why they didn't use their common sense.
We all want our staff to have the freedom of thought, but when budget is a factor and can push an event into or out of profit, then do the right thing and listen. If the manager says alcohol was important, why did spend that allocation on an act they explicitly said they do not want?
In short, if your manager says do not do something but you think they are wrong, then put a case forward in the right way with the right evidence or listen.
The Apprentice Episode 8: The Reality
There are a few things to think about from this task in addition to the above, so here is a round of quick fire bullet points:
- Sometimes your vision has to be tweaked to suit the needs of the client
- Don't underestimate the importance of building your team morale, their confidence and knowledge is an important facet in business.
- Honesty is important is business. No one likes a person who is dishonest enough to throw someone under the bus to protect themselves.
The Apprentice Episode 8: Who Deserved to be Fired?
*Spoiler Alert* If you haven't watched this episode, stop reading now.
£15.50—Yhat is an unfortunately tight loss.
An Apprentice first: Thomas offers to come back to the boardroom instead of Pamela - that is a very brave move, quite chivalrous but also a very confident and respectable move. It could have also been the end of the road for him.
Ryan-Mark should have been fired last week, so his firing this week comes as little surprise, to be frank.
I feel Pamela might be in the final 5. It starting to get to the point where I should start guessing the final 5 isn’t it?
Ok, I will guess another one next week.

Provides facilities for decorating Handles, and possible other interfaces eventually (if you need that, let us know!).
To use a handle decorator provide an instance of HandleDecoratorBuilder
and register it via DBI#setHandleDecoratorBuilder(..)
. This will
cause all Handle
instances obtained via the DBI to be decorated via
the decorated created by the builder.
final DBI dbi = new DBI(Tools.CONN_STRING);
dbi.setHandleDecoratorBuilder(new MyHandleDecoratorBuilder());
final Handle h = dbi.open();
Decorators can also be added via auto-configuration by specifying a class name
of a class implementing the HandleDecoratorBuilder
interface, which
provides a no-argument constructor under the property jdbi.handle-decorator-builder
.
jdbi.handle-decorator-builder=org.skife.jdbi.MyHandleDecorator
Finally, the Spring DBIBean
supports setting handle decorator builder
via the handleDecoratorBuilder
property, and might be used as follows:
<bean id="dbi" class="org.skife.jdbi.spring.DBIBean">
<property name="dataSource"><ref bean="dataSource" /></property>
<property name="handleDecoratorBuilder">
<bean class="org.skife.jdbi.MyHandleDecorator"/>

Title
Unsuccessful springbok hunting after death of companion (means employed to make it more fortunate)
Collection
Summary
The hunter is unable to kill a springbok if his companion has been killed. His arrows miss the springbok and if an arrow does hit the springbok it runs on as if not wounded. The women shave parts of the hunter's head (over the temples). This ensures that the springbok will come straight up to the hunters so they can shoot it at close range.

This semester, we’ve covered the departure of Annenberg Institute staff and programming, controversy surrounding the removal of the historic Urban Environment Lab, the student walkout mourning Parkland victims and the launch of a student-built satellite into space. We’ve also worked to promote multimedia at the Herald by strengthening our video and graphics teams, and added an editorial page board to the newsroom to produce editorials off the back of our news reporting. We’re so proud of everything our staff has accomplished this semester.
As 128 wraps up its term leading the Herald, we want to thank every person who has helped us put out more than a hundred papers this year — we’re endlessly grateful to all our staff, sources, and alumni, among others who have lent us a hand. We’ve delved into plans for graduate student unionization, student activism advocating for air conditioning to protect staff in the dining halls and the nuances of Rhode Island’s mid-term elections. Our reporters covered response to the Squirrel Hill shooting, spoke with John Kerry as he visited College Hill, and produced a three-part series reflecting on the 50th anniversary of the 1968 Black Student Walkout. Opinions pieces examined ideological diversity at Brown, consulting recruitment on campus, and the role of legacy in admission. It’s been an honor to cover this community, and we look forward to all the amazing things the incoming Herald leadership will produce.

A History of the life of Joseph Smith Jr. an account of his marvelous
experience and of all the mighty acts which he doeth in the name of Jesus
Christ the son of the living God of whom he beareth record and also an account
of the rise of the church of Christ in the eve of time according as the Lord
brought forth and established by his hand. Firstly, he receiving the testimony
from on high; secondly, the ministering of Angels; thirdly, the reception of
the holy Priesthood by the ministering of angels to administer the letter of
the Law and commandments as they were given unto him and in the ordinances;
fourthly, a confirmation and reception of the high Priesthood after the holy
order of the son of the living God power and ordinances from on high to preach
the Gospel in the administration and demonstration of the spirit. The Keys of
the Kingdom of God conferred upon him and the continuation of the blessings of
God to him.
I was born in the town of Sharon in the state of Vermont North America on the
twenty third day of December AD 1805 of goodly Parents who spared no pains to
instruct me in the christian religion. At the age of about ten years my Father
Joseph Smith Senior moved to Palmyra Ontario County in the State of New York
and being in indigent circumstances were obliged to labor hard for the support
of a large Family having nine children and as it required their exertions of
all that were able to render any assistance for the support of the family,
therefore we were deprived of the benefit of an education. Suffice it to say I
was merely instructed in reading and writing and the ground rules of
Arithmetic which constituted my whole literary acquirements. At about the age
of twelve years my mind become seriously impressed with regard to the all
important concerns for the welfare of my immortal Soul which led me to
searching the scriptures--believing, as I was taught, that they contained the
word of God. Thus applying myself to them and my intimate acquaintance with
those of different denominations led me to marvel exceedingly, for I
discovered that instead of adorning their profession by a holy walk and Godly
conversation agreeable to what I found contained in that sacred depository.
This was a grief to my Soul. Thus from the age of twelve years to fifteen I
pondered many things in my heart concerning the situation of the world of
mankind: the contentions and divisions the wickedness and abominations and the
darkness which pervaded the minds of mankind. My mind became exceedingly
distressed for I become convicted of my sins, and by searching the scriptures
I found that mankind did not come unto the Lord but that they had apostatized
from the true and living faith and there was no society or denomination that
built upon the gospel of Jesus Christ as recorded in the new testament and I
felt to mourn for my own sins and for the sins of the world. For I learned in
the scriptures that God was the same yesterday to day and forever that he was
no respecter to persons for he was God. For I looked upon the sun the glorious
luminary of the earth and also the moon rolling in their majesty through the
heavens and also the stars shining in their courses and the earth also upon
which I stood and the beast of the field and the fowls of heaven and the fish
of the waters and also man walking forth upon the face of the earth in majesty
and in the strength of beauty whose power and intelligence in governing the
things which are so exceeding great and marvelous even in the likeness of him
who created them and when I considered upon these things my heart exclaimed,
well hath the wise man said the fool saith in his heart there is no God. My
heart exclaimed, all, all these bear testimony and bespeak an omnipotent and
omnipresent power a being who maketh Laws and decreeth and bindeth all things
in their bounds who filleth Eternity who was and is and will be from all
Eternity to Eternity and when I considered all these things and that that
being seeketh such to worship him as worship him in spirit and in truth
therefore I cried unto the Lord for mercy for there was none else to whom I
could go and to obtain mercy and the Lord heard my cry in the wilderness and
while in the attitude of calling upon the Lord in the 16th year of my age a
pillar of fire light above the brightness of the sun at noon day come down
from above and rested upon me and I was filled with the spirit of god and the
Lord opened the heavens upon me and I saw the Lord and he spake unto me saying
Joseph my son thy sins are forgiven thee. go thy way walk in my statutes and
keep my commandments behold I am the Lord of glory I was crucified for the
world that all those who believe on my name may have Eternal life. Behold the
world lieth in sin and at this time and none doeth good no not one they have
turned aside from the gospel and keep not my commandments they draw near to me
with their lips while their hearts are far from me and mine anger is kindling
against the inhabitants of the earth to visit them according to their
ungodliness and to bring to pass that which hath been spoken by the mouth of
the prophets and Apostles. Behold and lo I come quickly as it is written of
me, in the cloud, clothed in the glory of my Father. And my soul was filled
with love and for many days I could rejoice with great Joy and the Lord was
with me but could find none that would believe the heavenly vision
nevertheless I pondered these things in my heart.


And I mean I could just go on describing just how much really great programming they offer, and all this content is freely available to the international public! The homepage is incredibly visually stimulating, as they color code all their content into different categories with eye-grabbing headlines. It has a very modern yet functional appeal which I personally am drawn to day after day. So if you’re in the mood to brush up on your castellano, ¡esta es la página para ti!
As a child of the 90’s - early 2000’s, I can remember the stress of being assigned a Word document or an infamous PowerPoint, because I did not have an authentic Microsoft Office package. It was annoying having to keep renewing trials, downloading bootleg versions, or even trying to switch over to not-so great options such as Open Office. (Which I once did an entire project on, just to find it was incompatible with my teacher’s computer on the day of a presentation. Not fun!) Anyhow, as you might get the feel, I had great contempt for Office… But ever since a great childhood friend came back one summer from UF and introduced me to Google Drive, I’ve never left its side . I mean where sdo I begin, the perks are innumerable:
Google Drive has just really won a special place on my computer; how fortunate to finally have access to a package like this!
Being bilingual undoubtedly plays an all- important role in my life. Livemocha.com is an interactive language learning site where users are able to choose to learn from 38 different languages through lessons and practice with native speakers. The color palette, design, and features really make for an aesthetically pleasing experience. It kinda gives me a modern yet old-world traveler feel, and I like that. Recently on a trip down to Ft. Lauderdale, I was able to use my portuguese skills with a group of friends from Brazil, who were so surprised to find out all I knew was self-taught through a website.
In all, I’m an aficionado of these websites and their services and highly recommend them for content, navigability, usefulness, and entertainment. Because I am biased I generally don’t find any cons to their user experiences, but I will keep an eye out.

Tell us why you think this site is appropriate as a EFTEON research landscape.
landscape selection principles:
Long Term Environmental Research: The EFTEON is intended for long term continuous operation and the primary purpose of the network is to provide long term environmental data for the national and global research community. Site operations need to undertake measurements and observations that are of value at both the short and long term. Selected landscapes need to be available for multi-decade operation.
Research Platform: The EFTEON is intended as a research platform with an open data and open platform use policy, in order to facilitate the use of the infrastructure and data by other researchers, both nationally and internationally.
Spatial diversity coverage: Sites selected for the network are to represent the major biomes and human transformed ecosystems and their embedded aquatic systems. A focus on lived-in landscapes and landscapes in transition (climate change or land use change ).
Historic observational and experimental datasets: Incorporation of existing research and linking to existing socio-ecological datasets. The leverage of long term social-ecological and earth system data sets would be considered an advantage in the selection of the sites. A strong emphasis on data archiving and provision and data archaeology to ensure long term availability and continuity of datasets.
Experiments and manipulations: Where appropriate implement and sustain appropriate simple experiments to help elucidate a process-level understanding of ecosystem changes.
The site proposed represents the center of your proposed landscape, if multiple proposals are received within a single landscape area they will be grouped during the regional work-shopping assessment of proposals.
General details:
Since the nomination is for a landscape in the 10-100km² size range please indicate a central reference point for the landscape i.e., entrance gate, site office, research center, existing infrastructure…
Landscape in Science:
What role does the landscape have now, or in the past with regard to knowledge generation.

The Candy plugin adds the web client to Openfire. Candy is a third party web client implementation. It's project home page is https://candy-chat.github.io/candy/
Copy candy.jar into the plugins directory of your Openfire installation. The plugin will then be automatically deployed. To upgrade to a new version, copy the new candy.jar file over the existing file.
The plugin is configured via the Openfire Admin Console. After installation, a new Admin Console page is available. The page can be found on a main menu in the "Web Clients" tab. The name of the page is "Candy".
When logged in, users of the Candy web chat will automatically join one or more pre-defined Group Chat Rooms. When installing the Candy plugin, you must configure what rooms the Candy users will join. This is done in two steps:
Candy depends on HTTP binding, and will not work if the HTTP binding service of Openfire is disabled. It can be enabled on the Server > Server Settings > HTTP Binding page.
When properly configured, the Candy web client will be made available on the same ports as the HTTP binding interface. The exact URLs for your instance of Openfire are displayed on the Candy Configuration Admin Console page. By default, these URLs are:
After opening one of these addresses in a browser, the user is presented with a login form. After logging in, the user will automatically join all of the configured auto-join rooms.

Before we dive into learning basic Linux Commands, it is important to know how to get into the Docker container to start.In order to login to a running docker container, first run docker ps in order to see all the running containers.
Then, run docker exec -t [container_id] /bin/bash in order to log into the container.
From here, you can create html files and edit in the vi text editor with Linux. Linux is an open-source operating system modelled on UNIX based on the Linux kernel, which was invented by Linus Torvalds. It is imperative to know basic linux commands in order to use the vi editor effectively. The following is a list of basic Linux commands that are commonly used.

Applications do not need to explicitly load the org.postgresql.Driver class because the pgjdbc driver jar supports the Java Service Provider mechanism. The driver will be loaded by the JVM when the application connects to PostgreSQL™ (as long as the driver's jar file is on the classpath).
Prior to Java 1.6, the driver had to be loaded by the application - either by calling
Class.forName("org.postgresql.Driver");
or by passing the driver class name as a JVM parameter.
java -Djdbc.drivers=org.postgresql.Driver example.ImageViewer
These older methods of loading the driver are still supported but they are no longer necessary.

MicroBit¶
Overview¶
Although the runtime is built from lots of small components, we also provide an easy to use pre-packaged collection of the commonly used components all in one place. This makes it much easier to start programming your micro:bit in C.
This grouping is provided by a C++ class called MicroBit
. The MicroBit
class has a number of
member variables, that operate as device drivers to control the most commonly used features of the micro:bit.
There is an instance of the MicroBit
class created as a global variable in all the sample programs, called uBit
:
uBit {
.i2c,
.storage,
.serial,
.MessageBus,
.buttonA,
.buttonB,
.buttonAB,
.display,
.accelerometer,
.compass,
.thermometer,
.io,
.radio,
}
You can use dot operator '.' to any of these resources inside uBit to access any of the functions they provide. There is a complete list of the
functions available under the uBit
menu item in the navigation bar at the top of the page.
For example, if we needed to scroll some text across the display, we simply would write the following:
uBit.display.scroll("HELLO!");
Similarly, if we wanted to send some text over serial, we could write the following code:
for(int i = 3; i > 0; i--)
{
uBit.serial.printf("%d...", i);
uBit.sleep(1000);
}
// or alternatively...
uBit.serial.send("Code!");
The runtime also contains a scheduler, which uses lightweight threads (called fibers) to control the rate of execution.
To place the current fiber into a power efficient sleep write the following:
// where X is an integer in milliseconds for the amount of time you would like to sleep for.
uBit.sleep(X);
Message Bus ID¶
None
Message Bus Events¶
None
API¶
Constructor¶
MicroBit()¶
Description¶
Constructor.
Create a representation of a MicroBit device, which includes member variables that represent various device drivers used to control aspects of the micro:bit.
init¶
void init()¶
Description¶
Post constructor initialisation method.
This call will initialised the scheduler, memory allocator and Bluetooth stack.
This is required as the Bluetooth stack can't be brought up in a static context i.e. in a constructor.
Example¶
uBit.init();
Note
This method must be called before user code utilises any functionality contained by uBit.
reset¶
void reset()¶
Description¶
Will reset the micro:bit when called.
Example¶
uBit.reset();
sleep¶
void sleep( uint32_t milliseconds)¶
Description¶
Delay execution for the given amount of time.
If the scheduler is running, this will deschedule the current fiber and perform a power efficient, concurrent sleep operation.
If the scheduler is disabled or we're running in an interrupt context, this will revert to a busy wait.
Alternatively: wait, wait_ms, wait_us can be used which will perform a blocking sleep operation.
Parameters¶
uint32_tmilliseconds - the amount of time, in ms, to wait for. This number cannot be negative.
Returns¶
MICROBIT_OK on success, MICROBIT_INVALID_PARAMETER milliseconds is less than zero.
Example¶
uBit.sleep(20); //sleep for 20ms
Note
This operation is currently limited by the rate of the system timer, therefore the granularity of the sleep operation is limited to 6 ms unless the rate of the system timer is modified.
seedRandom¶
void seedRandom()¶
Description¶
Seed the pseudo random number generator using the hardware random number generator.
Example¶
uBit.seedRandom();
void seedRandom( uint32_t seed)¶
Description¶
Seed the pseudo random number generator using the given value.
Parameters¶
uint32_tseed - The 32-bit value to seed the generator with.
Example¶
uBit.seedRandom(0xBB5EED);
random¶
int random( int max)¶
Description¶
Generate a random number in the given range. We use a simple Galois LFSR random number generator here, as a Galois LFSR is sufficient for our applications, and much more lightweight than the hardware random number generator built int the processor, which takes a long time and uses a lot of energy.
KIDS: You shouldn't use this is the real world to generate cryptographic keys though... have a think why not. :-)
Parameters¶
intmax - the upper range to generate a number for. This number cannot be negative.
Returns¶
A random, natural number between 0 and the max-1. Or MICROBIT_INVALID_VALUE if max is <= 0.
Example¶
uBit.random(200); //a number between 0 and 199
systemTime¶
unsigned long systemTime()¶
Description¶
Determine the time since this MicroBit was last reset.
Returns¶
The time since the last reset, in milliseconds.
Note
This will value overflow after 1.6 months.
systemVersion¶
const char * systemVersion()¶
Description¶
Determine the version of the micro:bit runtime currently in use.
Returns¶
A textual description of the version of the micro:bit runtime that is currently running on this device.
panic¶
void panic()¶
Description¶
Triggers a microbit panic where an loop will display a panic face and the status code, if provided.
This loop will continue for panic_timeout iterations, defaults to 0 (infinite).
panic_timeout can be configured via a call to microbit_panic_timeout.
Example¶
microbit_panic_timeout(4);
// will display loop for 4 iterations.
uBit.panic(10);
void panic( int statusCode)¶
Description¶
Triggers a microbit panic where an loop will display a panic face and the status code, if provided.
This loop will continue for panic_timeout iterations, defaults to 0 (infinite).
panic_timeout can be configured via a call to microbit_panic_timeout.
Parameters¶
intstatusCode - the status code of the associated error.
Example¶
microbit_panic_timeout(4);
// will display loop for 4 iterations.
uBit.panic(10);
addSystemComponent¶
int addSystemComponent( MicroBitComponent * component)¶
Description¶
Add a component to the array of system components. This component will then receive periodic callbacks, once every tick period in interrupt context.
Parameters¶
MicroBitComponent *component - The component to add.
Returns¶
MICROBIT_OK on success or MICROBIT_NO_RESOURCES if the component array is full.
Example¶
// heap allocated - otherwise it will be paged out!
MicroBitDisplay* display = new MicroBitDisplay();
uBit.addSystemComponent(display);
Note
This interface is now deprecated, and will be removed in the next major release. Please use system_timer_add_component() .
removeSystemComponent¶
int removeSystemComponent( MicroBitComponent * component)¶
Description¶
Remove a component from the array of system components. This component will no longer receive periodic callbacks.
Parameters¶
MicroBitComponent *component - The component to remove.
Returns¶
MICROBIT_OK on success or MICROBIT_INVALID_PARAMETER is returned if the given component has not been previously added.
Example¶
// heap allocated - otherwise it will be paged out!
MicroBitDisplay* display = new MicroBitDisplay();
uBit.addSystemComponent(display);
uBit.removeSystemComponent(display);
Note
This interface is now deprecated, and will be removed in the next major release. Please use system_timer_remove_component() .
addIdleComponent¶
int addIdleComponent( MicroBitComponent * component)¶
Description¶
Adds a component to the array of idle thread components, which are processed when the run queue is empty.
The system timer will poll isIdleCallbackNeeded on each component to determine if the scheduler should schedule the idle_task imminently.
Parameters¶
MicroBitComponent *component - The component to add to the array.
Returns¶
MICROBIT_OK on success or MICROBIT_NO_RESOURCES if the fiber components array is full.
Example¶
MicroBitI2C i2c(I2C_SDA0, I2C_SCL0);
// heap allocated - otherwise it will be paged out!
MicroBitAccelerometer* accelerometer = new MicroBitAccelerometer(i2c);
fiber_add_idle_component(accelerometer);
Note
This interface is now deprecated, and will be removed in the next major release. Please use fiber_add_idle_component() .
removeIdleComponent¶
int removeIdleComponent( MicroBitComponent * component)¶
Description¶
Remove a component from the array of idle thread components
Parameters¶
MicroBitComponent *component - The component to remove from the idle component array.
Returns¶
MICROBIT_OK on success. MICROBIT_INVALID_PARAMETER is returned if the given component has not been previously added.
Example¶
MicroBitI2C i2c(I2C_SDA0, I2C_SCL0);
// heap allocated - otherwise it will be paged out!
MicroBitAccelerometer* accelerometer = new MicroBitAccelerometer(i2c);

CON AIR A film review by Cameron Shelley Copyright 1997 Cameron Shelley
Con Air (Touchstone)
Review by: Cameron Shelley -- June 25, 1997. Review URL: http://watarts.uwaterloo.ca/~cpshelle/Reviews/conair.html Cast: Nicolas Cage (Cameron Poe), John Cusack (Vince Larkin), John Malkovich (Cyrus Grissom), Steve Buscemi (Garland Greene), Nick Chinlund (Billy Bedform), Rachel Ticotin (Sarah Bishop), Colm Meaney (Duncan Malloy), Ving Rhames (Nathan Jones) Screenplay: Scott Rosenberg Director: Simon West Producer: Kenny Bates, Lynn Bigelow, Peter Bogart, Jerry Bruckheimer, Jonathan Hensleigh, Jim Kouf, Chad Oman.
Con Air is a strange marriage indeed. It combines the criminal chic movie recently updated by Quentin Tarrantino a la Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction with the heroic but tragically mistreated military man brought to us only last year in Bruckheimer's The Rock.  The answer, as Con Air shows, is to just do it - embrace the incongruities!
The plot centers around the misfortune of one Cameron Poe, an ex Army Ranger, who is sent to the bighouse for killing a man who attacked his pregnant wife. So unfair!!! After serving his time, Poe is loaded onto a US Marshalls Service flight for transport home. As chance would have it, that flight is also filled with some of the worst criminals currently warehoused in the US prison system - all on their way to a new mega-maximum security facility. Cyrus "The Virus" Grissom leads the cons in revolt and takes over the plane. Poe's homecoming is irrevocably delayed!
The plot setup for this film is certainly its worst element. A good deal of time is essentially wasted at the outset of this picture, during which Poe's character is elaborated. Poe, of course, is going to need lots of equipment for his flight, so he is gifted with special training with the US Army Rangers (twice decorated, if I recall), a very strong but easily bruised sense of loyalty, and a secure place in society (his lovely family). An eight year prison term brings him completely up to spec. Each of these details is laboriously presented and remarked upon, as if they might be difficult for the audience to understand. Such an introduction, if better handled, would be appropriate for a more complex character and I can't help but wonder if there was originally some intention to make the movie a little more suspenseful, to make Poe's choice of what to do on the plane a little more difficult, but there is never really a moment's doubt. Although Poe and his wife make a couple of remarks about his "problem" - an overweaning pride or something - nothing much materializes out of this particular thread.
The criminal mayhem wreaked by Cyrus and his many cronies gets the movie up to action speed and maintains it for much of the remainder of the picture. Each of the criminals set free on the flight comes from a familiar mould. Cyrus seems to be something of a cross between Jack Nicholson's Joker and the Unabomber, and is brought to the screen via the standard John Malkovich performance a la Mitch Leary from In the Line of Fire. Garland Greene is an obvious imitation of Hannibal Lector, although Buscemi wisely steers clear of outright impersonation. You get the idea: a hit parade of murderers, rapists, etc. Fortunately, each of these characters is played knowingly and energetically and it is quite clear that no one is taking them seriously. Even the long-suffering Poe, who could, in theory, easily end up dead on this flight just shrugs as he helps the cops and his friend get out alive, making only the observation,
Somehow, they managed to get every creep and freak in the universe on this one plane.
Funny how that happens! The various policemen chasing the escaping cons also know their parts. Duncan Malloy is a rabid DEA G-man whose solution to everything is fast cars and a hail of gunfire, whereas Vince Larkin is the sandal-wearing college-boy who quotes Dostoevsky but has a stout heart.
So, everyone knows which side of Con Air's bread is buttered, and most of the movie is spent listening to amusing dialog and observing the planes and bullets flying and stuff blowing up. Perhaps to make up for its slow start, the movie concludes with no less than three action-packed endings! First the plane crashes at Lerner field, then it crashes again in Las Vegas, at which point the action switches to a fire engine which then crashes elsewhere in Las Vegas. The crashes are spaced out by lots of chasing, fighting, gunfire and explosions. (Something about Nicolas Cage and Las Vegas...I don't know.) Finally, there is the inevitable and thankfully brief reunion between Poe and his wife and daughter. Anyway, Bruckheimer has taken the basic elements of the action picture and simply put more of them on screen. The presentation is generally deft, efficient, and effective, making Con Air a serviceable entry in the action picture genre.
The action is interleaved with some occasional attempts at suspense, as when Poe's true, good intentions are nearly exposed in flight, and when Greene is given the opportunity to murder a small child. Suspense aimed at Poe is brief and quickly comes to nothing, whereas Greene's encounter with the little girl threatens to wreck the tongue-in-cheek feel of the whole movie. Fortunately, Greene does not murder the girl and the whole episode is made subject of an awkward joke, but it does serve to demonstrate the frailty of the movie's understanding with the audience. As if to remind everyone of this tacit agreement, the movie ends with Greene enjoying an umbrella drink at a roulette table, followed by portraits of the main cast members smiling for the camera as the credits roll. "Just kidding, remember!"
In a recent interview, Nicolas Cage remarked that he did Con Air because he feels he hasn't perfected the art of the action picture. Well, Con Air certainly has more explosions, gunfire, and chases than, say, The Rock (but "that's just a rock"), and Cage plays a tougher character in this one. I'm not convinced that such changes represent progress, however, even for the action picture genre. Con Air is a competently professional piece of work, but plays out a very thin and limited concept without leaving Cage with any obvious avenue of development. Mind you, if he does end up playing Superman next year, he'll be able to endure even more insults and explosions than he did in this outing.

“The following are a few of the mythological characters which play a part in many of the stories of the Passamaquoddies. They are all given on one of the cylinders of the phonograph. Kewok, a formless being with icy heart, and when mentioned regarded as a terrible one. Pedogiic, thunder. Pesok que tuk, lightning. Pook-jin-squess, the Jug, called also the toad woman. Glooscap, the beneficent being whose deeds are generally superhuman, and who figures in many heroic tales of the Passamaquoddies. The term as applied to a man is one of contempt. To call a man glooscap, or a woman glooscapess, is to call them liars. And there is Chematiquess, the big rabbit.” — J Walter Fewkes, Contribution To Passamaquoddy Folk-Lore


BEAVIS AND BUTT-HEAD DO AMERICA A film review by Paul Miller Copyright 1996 Paul Miller
Okay, let me first say, this is a BEAVIS AND BUTTHEAD movie. If you do not like BEAVIS AND BUTTHEAD, DO NOT go to see this movie!!!!! However, if you do like them, I recommened you get out right now and go see it.
The movie starts off with the boys wondering what happened to their TV. They notice that it has been stolen and they vow to find it. This wind their way through America searching for Dallas (she is a woman). They look for her because as they are searching for the TV, they find a drunk who wants them "to do" his wife.  And the fun starts their.
This movie is a mix of funny gags that anly Beavis and Butthead could pull off. It is quality entertainment that only fan of Beavis and Butthead would enjoy. I enjoyed this movie alot because Mike Judge knew how to keep pace. Even when they were crawling through the desert and I thought the movie started to lag, he manages to keep the laughs coming.
If you expecting changes from the show keep looking. The same character, the same voices, the same everything from the show and that's what makes it good. You might think with a movie from a TV show, you can change a few things. Often times this spells disaster for films because the film makers veer away from what made the show popular in the first place!

Elidana Projects
We started with very small projects and later on we tried on expanding the existing and now we have something to show as small as it is, all aimed at helping the needy kids we have at the moment, we are pround of these projects for they a product of our own struggle plus some helpers thanks to those that care to have ass something, so, these projects are listed below
Poultry(hens) and Piggery
We begun the project with little hope to truly run it, with time we started with hens and about ten of them and a small home for them though with time we expanded to a more larger place for them, we have a series of challenges among which feeding is popular.
And with with piggery, we begun with three small ones and with these it was somehow easy to find them what to eat despite the fact that the eat a lot, we got ten littre jerrrycans an d put them to some of the restuarants to we can harvest left overs from those points and we a successful about that, we though need some financial aid here to enlarge their rearing grounds and probably having more other breeds.

MyCrypto is an open-source, client-side tool for generating ether wallets, handling ERC-20 tokens, and interacting with the blockchain more easily.
There are two platforms to access MyCrypto, both with almost the same functionalities: the web app and the desktop app. There are more ways to access a wallet via desktop app, for example using a mnemonic or a private key.
MyCrypto has a Contracts tab, where you can find some existing contracts loads, and other contracts can be instanced. We are going to use this functionality to get a domain on RNS registry.
There are two ways to access a contract:
A domain is composed by a label and the .rsk suffix (top level domain). For example: nakamoto.rsk
, where nakamoto
is the label.
When sha3
or namehash
evaluations are asked, go here to interact with the tools and get the requested value.
When sha3
is asked for a label, you should not evaluate it with .rsk suffix. But when asked for namehash
you must add .rsk suffix.
Remember: 1 RIF token equals to 10^18 =<PHONE_NUMBER>000000000 RIFi. Any time a token value is required you have to express it in RIFi. For example: 2.5 tokens =<PHONE_NUMBER>000000000
Access MyCrypto contracts tab Do it via web or download the desktop app. You can do it getting the code too. Got to Contracts tab.
shaBid
function. Complete with the following:
hash
: the sha3 hash of the label you want to bid to (without .rsk suffix).owner
: owner’s address, case winning the auction.value
: amount of RIFi token to bid.salt
: any number.Save the result (a hex value), and value
and salt
values!
newBid
function. Complete with the following:
sealedBid
: the result obtained in step 2.tokenQuantity
: the same token value set in step.Send the transaction and wait until confirmed.
After this step, it is necessary to wait until revealing bid time starts. Bid time lasts 3 (three) days.
Create the bid
There are two ways to create a bid. Since the RIF Token is ERC677 compliant, which is ERC20 compatible, we can use both flows, the ERC20 approve
and then call or the approveAndCall
method provided by the ERC677 interface.
ERC20
In the RIF Token contract, select the approve
method. Complete the parameters:
spender
: the Registrar addressvalue
: the same token value set in step 2Once the transaction is confirmed. In Registrar contract, select newBid
function. Complete with the following:
sealedBid
: the result obtained in step 3.tokenQuantity
: the same amount approved before.ERC677
In the RIF Token contract, select the approveAndCall
method. Complete the parameters:
to
: the Registrar addressvalue
: the same token value set in step 2data
: the text “0x1413151f” (signature of the newBidWithToken
method) followed by the result from step 2 without the initial “0x”Send the transaction and wait until confirmed.
After this step, it is necessary to wait until revealing bid time starts. Bid time lasts 3 (three) days.
unsealBid
function and fill with the following parameters:
_hash
: sha3 of the label._value
: step 3. value
._salt
: step 3. salt
.Send transaction and wait until confirmed.
After this step, it is necessary to wait until revealing bid time ends. This time lasts 2 (two) days.
Past this 2 days, the owner of the account is owner of the domain!
Finalize the auction:
In case of winning the auction, in Registrar contract select finalizeAction
function and fill with the following parameter:
- _hash
: sha3 of the label.
Send transaction and wait until confirmed.
Set a resolver for the domain
In Registry contract, select setResolver
function. Set parameters:
node
: the name-hash of the domain you want to bid to. You can get that hash using this tool.resolverAddress
: the Resolver contract address, used in step 2.Send transaction and wait until confirmed.
In the Resolver contract access setAddr
function. Set parameters:
node
: step 7. name-hash result.addrValue
: the address that will resolve the domain label.Send transaction and wait until confirmed.
Verification:
From Resolver contract, access to addr
function. Set parameters:
- node
: the result of applying namehash
function (see description here).
Read the result and check it is equal to the address set in step 9.
Have a look at RIF Token section
A subdomain is conformed by a label preiexed to a full domain, separated by a ‘.’. For example: satoshi.nakamoto.rsk
, where satoshi
is the subdomain label.
To register a subdomain you must do it form the domain’s owner account.
setSubnodeOwner
function. Set parameters:
node
: the name-hash of the domain (including .rsk).label
: sha3 of the subdomain label to register.ownerAddress
: the address that will own this subdomain.Send transaction and wait until confirmed.
setResolver
function. Set parameters:
node
: the name-hash of the domain.resolverAddress
: the Resolver contract address.Send transaction and wait until confirmed.
setAddr
function. Set parameters:
node
: the name-hash of the domain.addrValue
: the address that will resolve the subdomain label.Send transaction and wait until confirmed.
Verification:
From Resolver contract, access to addr
function. Set parameters:
- node
: the name-hash of the domain.
Check if the result is equal to the address set in step 3.
after 9 months of auction’s end (finalizeAuction
) , within the next 3 months, the domain owner should renew the rent of that name.
entries
function. Set parameters:
_hash
: sha3 of the domain label.Read the result and copy/save address
result. This is the address of your deed contract.
Just as in the bid creation, there are two ways of paying rent.
ERC20
In the RIF Token contract, select the approve
method. Complete the parameters:
spender
: the Registrar address.value
: 1 token.In the Registrar contract, select payRentWithToken
. Set parameters:
_from
: the deed address, got from step 1._rent
: 1 token._hash
: sha3 of the domain label.ERC677
In the RIF Token contract, select the approveAndCall
method. Complete the parameters:
to
: the Registrar addressvalue
: the same token value set in step 2data
: the text “0xe1ac9915” (signature of the payRentWithToken
method) followed by the sha3 of the domain label without the initial “0x”Send the transaction and wait until confirmed.


Chapter 16 R programming
There are already many great R tutorials available. To save time, this book will cover the absolute essentials. The book “R for Data Science” provides one such introduction.
16.1 Notebook chunks
On the Exam, you will start with an .Rmd (R Markdown) template. The way that this book writes code is in the R Notebook. Learning markdown is useful for other web development and documentation tasks as well.
Code is organized into chunks. To run everything in a chunk quickly, press CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER
. To create a new chunk, use CTRL + ALT + I
.
16.2 Basic operations
The usual math operations apply.
## [1] 3
## [1] 1
## [1] 4
## [1] 2
## [1] 8
There are two assignment operators: =
and <-
. The latter is preferred because it is specific to assigning a variable to a value. The “=” operator is also used for assigning values in functions (see the functions section). In R, the shortcut ALT + -
creates a <-
.
## [1] FALSE
## [1] TRUE
## [1] TRUE
## [1] TRUE
Vectors can be added just like numbers. The c
stands for “concatenate”, which creates vectors.
## [1] 4 6
## [1] 3 8
## [1] 16 36
## [1] 2 3
## [1] 7 9
Lists are like vectors but can take any type of object type. I already mentioned numeric
types. There are also character
(string) types, factor
types, and boolean
types.
Factors are characters that expect only specific values. A character can take on any value. A factor is only allowed a finite number of values. This reduces the memory size.
The below factor has only one “level”, which is the list of assigned values.
## [1] "The"
The levels of a factor are by default in R in alphabetical order (Q comes alphabetically before T).
## [1] "Quick" "The"
Booleans are just True and False values. R understands T
or TRUE
in the same way. When doing math, bools are converted to 0/1 values where 1 is equivalent to TRUE and 0 FALSE.
## [1] 0
Vectors work in the same way.
## [1] 2
Vectors are indexed using []
.
## [1] "a"
## [1] "b"
## [1] "a" "c"
## [1] "a" "b"
## [1] "a" "c"
## [1] "a"
16.3 Lists
Lists are vectors that can hold mixed object types. Vectors need to be all of the same type.
## [[1]]
## [1] TRUE
##
## [[2]]
## [1] "Character"
##
## [[3]]
## [1] 3.14
Lists can be named.
## $bool
## [1] TRUE
##
## $character
## [1] "character"
##
## $numeric
## [1] 3.14
The $
operator indexes lists.
## [1] 3.14
## [1] 8.14
Lists can also be indexed using []
.
## $bool
## [1] TRUE
## $character
## [1] "character"
Lists can contain vectors, other lists, and any other object.
## $vector
## [1] 1 2 3
##
## $character
## [1] "a" "b" "c"
##
## $list
## $list$bool
## [1] TRUE
##
## $list$character
## [1] "character"
##
## $list$numeric
## [1] 3.14
To find out the type of an object, use class
or str
or summary
.
## [1] "numeric"
## [1] "list"
## List of 3
## $ vector : num [1:3] 1 2 3
## $ character: chr [1:3] "a" "b" "c"
## $ list :List of 3
## ..$ bool : logi TRUE
## ..$ character: chr "character"
## ..$ numeric : num 3.14
## Length Class Mode
## vector 3 -none- numeric
## character 3 -none- character
## list 3 -none- list
16.4 Functions
You only need to understand the very basics of functions for this exam.
Functions do things. The convention is to name a function as a verb. The function make_rainbows()
would create a rainbow. The function summarise_vectors
would summarise vectors. Functions may or may not have an input and output.
If you need to do something in R, there is a high probability that someone has already written a function to do it. That being said, creating simple functions is quite useful.
A function that does not return anything
## [1] "Hello, Future Actuary"
A function that returns something
When returning something, the return
statement is optional.
## [1] 7
## [1] 7
Functions can work with vectors.
## [1] 5 7 9
16.5 Data frames
R is an old programming language. The original data.frame
object has been updated with the newer and better tibble
(like the word “table”). Tibbles are really lists of vectors, where each column is a vector.
library(tibble) #the tibble library has functions for making tibbles
data <- tibble(age = c(25, 35), has_fsa = c(F, T))
data
## # A tibble: 2 x 2
## age has_fsa
## <dbl> <lgl>
## 1 25 FALSE
## 2 35 TRUE
To index columns in a tibble, the same “$” is used as indexing a list.
## [1] 25 35
To find the number of rows and columns, use dim
.
## [1] 2 2
To fine a summary, use summary
## age has_fsa
## Min. :25.0 Mode :logical
## 1st Qu.:27.5 FALSE:1
## Median :30.0 TRUE :1
## Mean :30.0
## 3rd Qu.:32.5
## Max. :35.0
16.6 Pipes
The pipe operator %>%
is a way of making code more readable and easier to edit. The way that we are taught to do functional composition is by nesting, which is slow to read and write.
In five seconds, tell me what the below code is doing.
## [1] 1
Did you get the answer of 1? If so, you are good at reading parenthesis. This requires starting from the inner-most nested brackets and moving outwards from right to left.
The math notation would be slightly easier to read, but still painful.
\[log(\sqrt{e^{log_2(\sqrt{max(3,4,16)})}})\]
Here is the same algebra using the pipe. To read this, replace the %>%
with the word THEN
.
library(dplyr) #the pipe is from the dplyr library
max(c(3, 4, 16)) %>%
sqrt() %>%
log2() %>%
exp() %>%
sqrt() %>%
log()
## [1] 1
#max(c(3, 4, 16) THEN #The max of 3, 4, and 16 is 16
# sqrt() THEN #The square root of 16 is 4
# log2() THEN #The log in base 2 of 4 is 2
# exp() THEN #the exponent of 2 is e^2
# sqrt() THEN #the square root of e^2 is e
# log() #the natural logarithm of e is 1
You may not be convinced by this simple example using numbers; however, once we get to data manipulations in the next section the advantage of piping will become obvious.
To quickly produce pipes, use CTRL + SHIFT + M
. By highlighting only certain sections, we can run the code in steps as if we were using a debugger. This makes testing out code much faster.
## [1] 16
## [1] 4
## [1] 2
## [1] 7.389056
## [1] 2.718282
## [1] 1
Those familiar with Python’s Pandas will be see that %>%
is quite similar to “.”.

ACF has recently codified its policy on cheating:
A player who has been shown to have cheated at an ACF event, or has been credibly proven to have cheated at any other organized academic competition, will be banned indefinitely from the time ACF receives the credible report until that player states a desire to play an ACF event, accompanied with a statement of contrition or countervailing evidence. When ACF receives that information, it will conduct a vote to determine whether the player can participate in the tournament in question, and if not, determine a formal length of a ban from ACF events. If there are any questions about whether a third-party report of cheating is credible, any Full member of ACF can call a vote of the Full members in which a simple majority will decide whether or not the report is credible.
According to this policy, the four players deemed to have inappropriately accessed questions by NAQT (in these two reports) are indefinitely banned from participating in ACF tournaments. ACF is also considering bans against other individuals.
Update - 3/30/13:
ACF has also voted to indefinitely ban the individuals identified in these three reports as having cheated.

SERPICO A Film Review Copyright Dragan Antulov 1999
In one of my previous reviews I mentioned SERPICO as one of the most important films of the 1970s. Perhaps it was an overstatement, because that film means very little to people who didn't actually live or were too young to remember that particular time period. But in its time anything involving the real life story of New York police detective Frank Serpico was a big news. In 1972 that story first became a best-seller book by Peter Maas and, one year later, found its way to the silver screen under the direction of respected film- maker Sidney Lumet. The success of the movie was such that the producer, Dino de Laurentiis, even created short-lived television series starring David Birney few years later. Of course, the main reason why people still remember Serpico after more than a quarter of a century is Sidney Lumet's film.
The plot begins with the shooting of Frank Serpico (played by Al Pacino), New York undercover policeman. Serpico, while being treated in hospital, starts remembering his police career. He started as young, idealistic policeman whose nonconformist views often clashed with conservative views of his colleagues and superiors. In the turbulent decade of 1960s, his reputation of black sheep is enhanced with his image, totally different from the regular cops - he grows long hair and beard, wears hip clothes and takes interest in exotic arts and philosophies. To his conservative superiors he claims that this is the best way to work undercover in rapidly changing society. But the outside appearance isn't the only thing that bugs his colleagues. Serpico is man of principles and he not only refuses to take bribe, like almost any other plain clothes policemen do, but he also wants to put the end to such widespread corruption. Mostly ignored by the top police brass, he does things that are strictly forbidden by unwritten laws of New York police - he blows whistle to outside agencies and media and later testifies against his colleagues. The word gets out and Serpico becomes marked man among all New York policemen, who are all more than willing to set him up during his life threatening undercover assignments.
Sidney Lumet made a lot of different films in his long career, but they often share a common themes or settings. Lumet seems to have certain fondness for New York and its burning social problems, as well as rampant moral ambiguity, most often associated with police and political corruption. SERPICO is one of such films, and it was made in a especially favourable time. Early 1970s were the era of Pentagon Papers and Watergate, when America as a society stopped taking the established perceptions of itself for granted. In such times, when everything was questioned, there was a hunger for people ready to expose the darker side of American dream. Frank Serpico was one of such perfect heroes - he didn't just expose police and establishment corruption, he as a personality with his hip image was antithesis of everything associated with conformist, pre-1960s America. And Serpico's life story - his quixotic struggle against establishment, personal courage and martyrdom, made him not just a perfect hero of the public, but also a perfect protagonist for socially important movie like those Lumet used to make in 1970s.
The name most often associated with SERPICO, of course, isn't his director Lumet. The icon of this film is Serpico's alter ego in the form of Al Pacino, young Italian American actor who was just beginning his rise towards Hollywood acting pantheon after his brilliant debut in GODFATHER. Pacino here worked very hard in order to make a role very different from the one he had in Coppola's masterpiece. And he succeeded, at least in making the screen personality of Serpico authentic, if we are to believe real Frank Serpico, who was very pleased with the portrayal of his character. Pacino plays Serpico as an idealistic, low-key but stubborn character, who is hero, but never superman - he has his doubts, he gets angry and depressed, and often drowns himself in self-pity, making the life very miserable for everyone around him. Pacino's performance was so strong, that he had managed to overshadow almost every actor around him; on the other hand, it wasn't that hard, since the script by Oswald Salto and Norman Wexler left place for only minor roles, often filled by good, but this time hardly noticeable character actors.
Direction by Lumet is superb, with the splendid use gray and dark scenery of New York locations; they serve as perfect illustration for this serious and often depressing story. Sadness is also underlined with the touching musical score by Mikis Theodorakis, with the Mediterranean motives that illustrate Serpico's humanity and noble ideals. The script by Oswald Salto and Norman Wexler, on the other hand, is the weakest part of the film. Serpico's background is mentioned in the beginning, than mostly ignored through the film. Time given to the depiction of Serpico's private life is too long and it often gets in the way of his real story (especially when he has to deal with many, often hardly recognisable or established characters).
However, despite all that, SERPICO is one very brave, socially critical film that asks important questions. Unfortunately, time that had allowed such films is behind us. These days, Hollywood wouldn't touch such depressing and non-commercial subjects with ten-foot-pole and Serpicos of our time could see their screen incarnations only in television and cable movies. Which is sad, but, in the same time guarantees good reputation of SERPICO for future generations of film-lovers.
RATING: 7/10 (+++)

Who doesn’t want their users to leave ratings for their application on the Play Store? But it is not the top thing on users’ minds (unless they are really annoyed by your app). Even if they want to rate your app, it is a rather cumbersome process for them to:
- Open the Play Store (temporarily abandoning whatever they are doing)
- Search for your app
- Find the one that is actually yours among a buttload (it is an actual unit of measurement) of other clones
- Rate your app
Simplifying the user flow
You might have seen in many apps that they provide a button or something similar which redirects them directly to the Play Store listing of their particular app. This short-circuits the first three steps in the above flow, providing user with a much shorter flow for rating your app.
Providing such an option requires mainly 2 steps from the developer:
- Displaying an option to user to rate the app (showing a button, dialog or something else)
- Launching the Play Store listing of that app on clicking the above presented option
1. Displaying “Rate-Me” option to user
There are many options to display an option to user for rating your app. I will be using a simple button for this purpose.
You have many other options like:
- Dialog
- Menu item
- Floating Action Button (FAB) in About screen of app
2. Launching the Play Store listing
Now comes the part where we launch the Store listing for our app when user clicks on whatever we displayed above. Continuing the above example, I have the below code in my Activity in which the above button is displayed.
Let me explain what the above code does.
If you have ever paid attention to the URL of the store-listing of any app on the Play Store then you would have noticed that the app’s package name is used as it’s unique identifier on the store. The structure is like this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=<package-name-of-your-app>
And a similar structure is followed by the URI for Play Store app:
market://details?id=<package-name-of-your-app>
So, we first try launching the Play Store app on the device, using the URI for the app (the market://...
one). If the Play Store app is present on the device then it is launched and the page containing listing of our app is opened.
If due to some conditions the Play Store app is not present (this can be the case with some custom ROMs), then startActivity
will throw the ActivityNotFoundException
exception and we then fall-back to opening our app’s listing on the web version of the Play Store using the browser.
That’s all folks
If you know of a better way for this, contact me or tweet to me @varun_barad. You can even send me ideas for any other topics that you would like to know about.
