The Australian Gold Kangaroo coin is the oldest gold bullion coin series offered by the Perth Mint. The coins first debuted in 1986 with a design of gold nuggets on the reverse, which was meant to promote Australias gold reserves and history of gold rushes. Since 1990, a new design has featured on the reverse depicting the red kangaroo instead. Right now, 2018 oz Australian Gold Kangaroo Coins are available to purchase online from JM Bullion.
Arrives in a protective plastic capsule or rolls of 20.
29th design issue of the Australian Gold Kangaroo series!
Limited mintage of only 150,000 coins!
Contains Troy oz of .9999 pure gold in BU condition.
Bears a face value of $25 (AUD) backed by the federal government of Australia.
Queen Elizabeth IIs effigy graces the obverse.
Two red kangaroos hop across a barren landscape on the reverse.
Each 2018 oz Australian Gold Kangaroo Coin in this product listing is available to you in BU condition. Coins in BU condition exhibit no signs of wear and tear, but minor flaws as a result of the coining process at the mint are possible. These flaws are limited to breaks in the luster, spotted surfaces, and contact marks.
The red kangaroo is the representative animal species on the Australian Gold Kangaroo series. Australia is home to four species of kangaroo, and the red kangaroo tips the scales as the largest member of the species and one of the most common by population in the wild. It has featured on the Gold Kangaroo series since 1990.
On the obverse of all 2018 Australian Gold Kangaroo Coins is the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. The portrait of the Queen is captured in right-profile relief, with Ian Rank-Broadley developing this image in 1998 as the fourth-generation portrait of Elizabeth II for use on British and commonwealth coinage.
The reverse of the 2018 oz Australian Gold Kangaroo Coin features the newest design in the series, that of two red kangaroos. This years image depicts the creatures as they hop across a barren landscape somewhere in the rural reaches of the Australian Outback.
Perth Mint has the Australian Gold Kangaroo coin available in a total of five weights, from the 1 Kilo and 1 oz gold down to the three fractional weights of oz, oz, and 1/10 oz. The 1 oz coin has an unlimited mintage, but the fractional weights have set mintage figures, which is capped at 150,000 for these oz Australian Gold Kangaroo coins.
The Perth Mint opened in 1899 as a member of the Royal Mint system, joining the Sydney Mint and Melbourne Mint. Today, it is the only remaining facility of the three and is the oldest operating mint in Australia.

" What a beautiful coin! I buy gold bars mostly, but when I saw this I wanted it now! It is just gorgeous! I will now save my money for a larger version because it's that beautiful! Came in a plastic capsule and that is a plus! Not a flip, a capsule so it can't slide out! The detail is amazing and the older lady on the one side is like reverse proof. One of the kangaroo's on the other is the same way! A great piece of work. I love what Australia has to offer! Such a small coin with such beautiful detail."

Q: Show that $\mathbb{C}\setminus\{0\}$ and $\mathbb{D}\setminus\{0\}$ are not conformally eqivalent.
Show that $\mathbb{C}\setminus\{0\}$ and $\mathbb{D}\setminus\{0\}$ are not conformally eqivalent.

my argument is that if they are ,then let $f$ is the conformal map.then f have removable singularity at $0$ since $f(z)$ is bounded.that mean f is entire and hence constant map ,which is contradiction since $f$ is injective.
is this corrrect ??
or any other suggestion

A: I think you are right.I think It not exist A continuous map connecte C╲{0} and D╲{0},just not topology eqivalent.you can get this by addtion one point compactness or calculate their fundamental group.

SONIC KICKS: Wahoo Ghost
On May 4, 2019 May 9, 2019 By Doubtful SoundsIn Album Covers, Indie Rock, Interviews, News, Psych, Sonic Kicks
Sydney trio Wahoo Ghost have just released their debut album The Eighth Door and the brand new single 'She Wolf' (check out the video below). The album is high on atmospheric psychedelia that swirls around the dark poetry of Charli Rainford. Space and texture is paramount, whether it's raw and bluesy or grainy and dream-laden.
The Eighth Door is available now on Spotify, Apple Music and CD Baby.
Guitarist Rob Crow took the time to take our Sonic Kicks Q&A to give us a taste of some of the albums that have shaped his musical life.
Wahoo Ghost are Charli Rainford (vocals, guitar), Rob Crow (lead guitar), and Jarvis Woolley (percussion).
The first album I bought.
The Goodies – Greatest Hits.
Well I was only nine, what did you expect, Iggy & The Stooges?
An album that soundtracked a relationship.
The Black Angels – Phosphene Dream.
I used to have a neighbour whose dog would howl every time I put this album on. As soon as the guitar riff in 'Bad Vibrations' started, that set him off, then he'd howl over the fence for the entire album. After a while we became friends. His name was Boris. Wait, you didn't mean a romantic relationship did you?
An album that inspired me to form a band.
Hawkwind – In Search of Space.
Space music doesn't have to mean songs about other planets, but music that uses space – sparseness, atmosphere and strange whooshing effects, to take you to your own inner zone-out space. We try to create atmosphere and space in our music too. Have I used the word "space" enough yet?
An album that reminds me of my high school years.
The Fall – This Nation's Saving Grace.
I was the weirdo at school who didn't really fit in. So I used to travel on the tube up to central London to see bands, to escape the humdrum suburban life. The Fall were one of the best. Sarcastic, angular, awkward and repetitive. A bit like me as a teenager.
An album I'd love to hear live and played in full.
Spiritualized – Pure Phase.
Epic, soulful, emotional, soaring, beautiful. Spiritualized are another band who are masters of using space in their music. Some moments in this album feel like time is frozen, and you are transported to another world.
My favourite album cover art.
Kraftwerk – Computer World.
This album cover is what the future looked used to look like, in the past. Oh, and they also kickstarted the whole movement of electronic music. Geniuses.
A guilty pleasure album.
A Flock of Seagulls – A Flock of Seagulls.
I don't really feel guilty about any music that I genuinely like. But once you can get past the haircuts, this is actually a pretty good album. And now that 1982 is the new black, they're kind of cool again, aren't they?
The last album I bought.
Grouper – Grid of Points.
This is the ultimate in atmospheric music, very introspective, reminiscent of early Portishead. Liz Harris' voice is run through reverbs and delays, along with sparse instrumentation, creating dense layers of sound. Don't put this on at a party.
The next album I want to buy.
Syntax Error – Message.
You absolutely should put this on at a party. One of the best bands in Sydney right now. Hypnotic rhythms, swirling swooping space effects, and a theremin, the only instrument you play without actually touching it.

Velana International Airport
VIA new runway to be operational in October
Maldives Airports Company Ltd (MACL) has revealed that the new runway will be operational in October.
The new runway was built and opened during the Yameen administration.
Since then, the runway had remained unused.
MACL General Manager, Corporate Affairs, Hassan Areef said the runway would be operational in October. He added that opening the runway in October would coincide with tourism peak season and would expedite airport operations.
He said the new runway would shorten the time planes have to taxi from 15 minutes to three minutes.
The 3,400 meter long and 65-meter-wide runway is one of the largest projects for the airport. The first test flights landed in 2019 – this was the first time an A-380 landed in the capital.
China's Beijing Urban Construction Group (BUCG) constructed the runway. China's Exim Bank funded a US$ 400 million for the project. In addition to the runway, a fuel farm, storing 45 million liters of fuel was created, as well as a 80,000 ton cargo facility.

The potential of Non Geo-Synchronous Orbiting Satellite constellations is well recognized. This has drawn unprecedented investment from major entities with over two dozen NGOS constellations preparing to launch in the next two years.
There are a vast number of applications, many potentially global, enabled by these new LEO and MEO constellations. Teleports, application owners and integrators can take advantage of them — in many cases, with hybrid networks combining GEO constellations, 5G, and 5G LTE-Broadcast (aka, eMBMS) networks.
However, there will be inevitable failures and consolidation going forward. Because of shifting technical and price leadership among constellations, antennas and Earth station vendors, it behooves early application builder teams to implement with flexibility to take advantage of, or recover from, these shifts — that is, to launch and go forward with Open Architecture where feasible.
These pending satellite constellations bring much higher throughput than the current generation. In addition, speeds on satellite can now match or even exceed fiber by using laser. Several constellations intend to offer laser interconnectivity between satellites. Combined with laser uplink at the source and downlink to local sites or local broadband networks, which effectively provides fiber-speeds end-to-end globally.
Fiber offers great speed but has limits: laser has a serious vulnerability to atmospheric disturbances; and, unlike RF, laser is not suitable for multicast of the same large content directly to a multitude of sites or vehicles, even when in line-of-sight. This also argues for RF/laser hybrid networks and error correction capabilities.
Delivery of files and live streams from orbiting satellites to moving vehicles is an enticing possibility with these global markets in the offing. However, early testing has exposed the difficulties of transmitting from orbiting satellites to vehicles on the move. Vehicles may intermittently lose signal because they are randomly visible to satellites, on a difficult incline when in sight, traversing tunnels, under overpasses, in urban building canyons, or turned on/off.
Success requires an antenna with a flat profile, low power consumption and reliability in delivery, often of encrypted/DRM content, as well as strategies for dealing with the inevitable, intermittent, lost signal issue.
Open Architecture strategies — that include forward error correction algorithms and availability simultaneously of multiple wireless network paths via MEO, LEO, LTE, with 1 or more antennas — provide approaches to achieve reliable delivery.
The best offerings on the market will likely change over time and between market applications. Applications built with open architecture will better migrate between networks and antenna and terminal offerings, as reliability and price bestow new opportunities over time.
Content for smallsat applications will, in many cases, come from Cloud storage, where Open Architecture is more established by the archival community. For example, in the reference model for cloud storage, Open Archival Information System (OAIS)1. Strategies from OAIS (Refreshing, Migration, Replication, Emulation, and more) can be adapted to smallsat network delivery also.
Some of the weaknesses of laser networking can be overcome by routing around bad weather, employing forward error correction schemes and/or switching to terrestrial wire/wireless network alternatives whenever necessary. Satellite carriers are currently experimenting with lasers and LTE and other RF networks for these reasons.
Hybrid network offers the immediate alternative path option as well as the opportunity to more quickly take advantage of breakthroughs that will certainly occur from time to time with flat plate antennas, laser terminals, next generation LTE, satellite modems, and the satellites themselves.
KenCast's Fazzt platform for content delivery is designed to provide the tools content owners, teleports, and integrators need to realize Open Architecture on new HTS Smallsat and GEO constellations.
The KenCast Fazzt platform for content delivery supports hybrid networking and Open Architecture.
William Steele is Chairman & CEO of KenCast, Inc. Prior to founding the company, he spent 14 years with GTE Corporation; five of those years as General Manager of the GTE ImageSpan company within GTE Spacenet. His experience in the satellite and telecommunications industry includes a position as Vice President of Marketing at the Microband subsidiary of McDonnell- Douglas and Sales Manager at the American Satellite Corporation division of Fairchild. He was an Assistant Professor of Economics at Villanova University and holds a Ph.D. in Economics from New York University.
Kepler was founded in 2015 with the mission to build in-space telecommunications infrastructure. By providing connectivity to spaceborne assets, this infrastructure will enable the space economy and allow society to expand into space.
All along, Kepler's strategy has been to develop best-in-class satellite communications technologies that can simultaneously serve the needs of near-term existing markets, and progressively build capacity to deliver upon its ultimate mission; to become the backbone network for space data relay.
In January of this year, Kepler launched its first satellite, nicknamed KIPP. Joined on orbit in November by the firm's second satellite, CASE, these sister satellites are tasked as technology demonstrators for the company's pole-to-pole wideband store-and-forward data service. In addition to the firm's wideband connectivity service, Kepler plans to address the Internet of Things (IoT) market with cellular-like, narrowband, bi-directional communications through an ultra-small, low-power, low-cost satellite transceiver.
Major tectonic shift are occurring as new capabilities are brought into the satellite broadband market. High-throughput satellites (HTS) systems have completely changed the game.
With a single HTS now capable of delivering 10 to 100x the capacity of a broadband satellite, the market for bandwidth is exceptionally competitive. As supply dwarfs demand, bandwidth pricing has plummeted around 50 percent across the board. The days of $3,000/MHz are long forgotten and empowered customers are driving prices below $1,000/MHz.
Double-digit revenue drops for satellite operators are the norm as they reduce prices to stay competitive and maintain acceptable fill rates. The unwavering laws of supply and demand appear to be holding steady.
All the while, far on the horizon, are the audacious plans of non-geostationary HTS (NGSO-HTS) systems. Regardless of the many controversies around the economic viability of these systems, their deployment could profoundly impact the market.
The recent increase in global satellite bandwidth supply via HTS systems from around 500 Gbps to 1 Tbps has led to a 50 percent drop in prices. A sudden increase of 10s of Tbps as promised by these NGSO-HTS systems will have a profound impact on bandwidth prices and the business model of all satellite operators.
Rather than attempt to play in these contentious markets, Kepler has placed its initial focus on providing a wideband connectivity to niche and underserved markets. For instance, there are gaps in connectivity for organizations that operate predominantly at the poles. At extreme latitudes, mountains, trees, rolling sea waves, and ultimately the curvature of the Earth, cause intermittent or permanent blockage of GEO satellites. Due to poor GEO coverage at the poles, there does not exist the same race-to-the-bottom for bandwidth pricing.
The bulk of Kepler's early pilots have been maritime operators — icebreakers, scientific vessels, and cruise ships — that seek a wideband data service that they otherwise cannot get for their polar operations. For vessels, a key challenge has been a lack of available deck space for new antennas. To solve this challenge, as well as to reduce the cost of hardware, Kepler developed its connectivity service to be backwards compatible with off-the-shelf Ku-band VSATs.
In addition, as most modern ships have two or even three VSATs on board to provide redundancy from antenna shadowing, Kepler's service is able to leverage the secondary or tertiary antennas. Effectively, this gives ship operators the ability to add a wideband store-and-forward service while maintaining real-time connectivity on GEO satellites.
This past year also brought Kepler a number of new collaborations with antenna manufactures, including a demonstration with Phasor's flat panel antenna technology communicating with our smallsat.
Widely believed to be a necessary technology to fully leverage NGSO-HTS systems, there are also some early use cases for operations in very extreme environments where lack of mechanical actuation on high-gain VSATs is an important value-add. Through the demonstration, Kepler and Phasor demonstrated 10 Mbps uplink, 20 Mbps downlink to a nanosatellite.
In parallel to the offered wideband data services, Kepler continues to make strides toward developing a cellular-like narrowband connectivity service for Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Although terrestrial infrastructure for connecting IoT devices is widespread, a key challenge is connecting a single device across borders and regions because of disparities in frequency and network technology.
More specifically, there are around 50 LTE frequency bands used globally, with no single wireless module capable of connecting across all networks. Network technology is also inconsistent between countries. 2G (GSM) networks are being shut down across a number of countries despite the technology's benefits for low-bandwidth IoT connectivity.
The recent LTE Cat-M1 and Cat-NB1 standards are intended to replace the loss of 2G for IoT devices; however, telecom operators remain inconsistent in their roll-outs. U.S. network operators have shown a clear preference for LTE Cat-M1, whereas Europe and China are beginning their rollouts with Cat-NB1. Solution providers building IoT devices and networks are, therefore, unable to ensure that their products will have seamless, globally available connectivity.
A satellite-enabled solution is required to deliver seamless IoT connectivity, but considerable engineering challenges in delivering a compelling service are present. User equipment must consume very lower power, be low-size as well as have bi-directional and MB/month performance capabilities. Of course, this must be delivered for below $50 in hardware costs and around $1 to $2 per month in airtime fees.
To tackle these hurdles, this year Kepler partnered with the UK's Satellite Applications Catapult to collaborate on a narrowband technology demonstration satellite – TARS. This spacecraft will deliver S-band connectivity to user devices and make use of their wideband Ku-band link as the gateway backhaul. The backhaul capability is critical, as this allows to drastically increase how many user devices can be served by a single satellite.
In the latter portion of 2018, Kepler announced a successful completion of a $16 million Series A round of financing. This round was led by Costanoa Ventures and included participation from Deutsche Bahn's (DB) Digital Ventures as a strategic investor. DB's investment came because of a need within their business units for IoT connectivity services which can be served through Kepler.
With 2019 on the horizon, Kepler aims to enhance the value proposition of their store-and-forward service as well as moving towards early trials of an IoT connectivity solution. Kepler plans to develop the capabilities for a wideband LEO-GEO hybrid offering, giving customers the ability to dynamically optimize bandwidth and save cost by routing data through either a store-and-forward LEO or a real-time GEO link.
In the second half of 2019, Kepler will be launching TARS, the firm's first satellite dedicated to providing trials of its narrowband connectivity service. This upcoming year will also begin development of the company's GEN1 constellation, which will begin launching closer to 2020 and will be dedicated to wideband data services.
As small satellite constellation missions require flexible and scalable capabilities, there are clear advantages of using an existing ground station network transformed into a globally integrated "ground station cloud" as opposed to the traditional ground station networks primarily designed to support the needs of one or few satellites with consistent contact needs.
Cloud computing is defined as "ubiquitous, on-demand access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources." Applying this paradigm to existing ground station network architecture improves applicability, effectiveness, and user-friendliness for small satellite constellations.
The use of existing multi-mission antennas in established ground station networks has been the first step in this direction, and has overcome initial challenges inhibiting satellite-agnostic operations such as configuration and compatibility concerns. Fortunately, recent advances in low-cost TT&C and payload reception architectures (e.g., Software Defined Radio – SDR, etc.) have now made it possible to provide a true multi-mission ground station network as a cloud — enabling support of any satellite at any time from any ground station for the first time in history.
The ability to support many satellites from such an integrated network enhances the user abstraction level, allowing satellite operators to request data coverage (in addition to specific ground station passes), in turn leaving detailed mission planning to the Ground Station Cloud.
Applying the NewSpace constellation data-centric approach, the "Ground Station Cloud" (realized through the existing KSAT Lite network) provides a global, easy-to-use and omnipresent ground station solution enabling Big Data applications.

KSAT has built the world's largest NewSpace ground station network through a lean innovation process, with input from satellite owners and operators. Now satellite owners can access their satellites from any world continent through the integrated KSAT global ground station network. KSAT's ground network is designed so that the customer can schedule all needed satellite contacts over the Internet, via Machine-to-Machine (M2M) or human-to-machine (via web portal).
Once scheduled, KSAT downlinks and brings the data to storage on-site and then immediately to any cloud service such as AWS, Google Cloud or the users' own service installation from anywhere in the world. This network also supports different levels of processing — through any combination of cloud-based equipment, or KSAT-provided or customer-provided equipment on site. KSAT has continued innovating our ground station technology, giving a truly global satellite coverage accessible through the cloud, with data delivered through various processing options to the storage location of choice.
KSAT has in just over a decade taken the position as the world's leading ground station provider in the LEO satellite market. KSAT currently has more than 20 ground station sites around the globe and has apertures on all world continents. KSAT owns and operates uniquely positioned ground stations spanning from 78 degrees north in Svalbard to 72 degrees south in Antarctica. Between five different sites in the Arctic and the one in Antarctica, KSAT has 14 additional sites located in the more mid-latitude regions.
The KSAT goal is that customers can access their satellite from anywhere, anytime. KSAT`s core business is the ground segment, and KSAT delivers ground station as a service so that the satellite owners and operators can focus on their core business — data, data analytics, and providing information to their customers. KSAT has therefore approached the market designing solutions that enables a "plug and play" approach for the satellite operators, which at the same time enables flexibility of technical design for the end user.
Due to the company's experience in this sector, KSAT has been able to implement customer-centric business models at attractive prices, which for new companies is often just as important as the technical solution. From the beginning, KSAT understood that optimizing solutions for constellation support was crucial to meet a new mindset in the industry.
As many companies first considered COTS and DIY approaches, the challenges around high investment costs, securing international laws and license, little or no onsite support, and unreliable hardware quickly reinforced the value of having an integrated ground network commercially available for the industry.
With our expertise, we were able to meet the industry need by integrating our capabilities in procuring validated hardware through capital-intensive investments, securing international communications licenses, and maintaining a highly-skilled engineering support team at all of our sites.
Given the trend of technology, KSAT approached building the company's global ground network with the goal of enabling the customer to buy ground station services in the same fashion as they buy any other cloud service. Now that the firm's network is in place and constantly expanding, customers can acquire cost-efficient services, while still expanding the data volume passing from spacecraft to the cloud, and experiencing lower latency.
The KSAT system comes with an "out of the box" Interface Control Document (ICD) on how to interconnect to KSAT antenna systems. The ICD also list several options to customize the systems to accommodate a certain degree of flexibility — but just enough to keep it cost efficient. The KSAT system was designed to standardize ground support, while at the same time allowing a high degree of flexibility — balancing requirements to achieve a plug-and-play and one-size-fits-most solution.
The KSAT system includes fully integrated baseband units, which support a variety of the most used modulation types and protocols. As an alternative, KSAT does allow users to "bring their own devices" to interconnect to the KSAT network, if that architecture better fits the operational needs and technical design. Whichever solution the user chooses to implement, it is all accessible over the cloud. With the ease of set-up and scheduling, KSAT is able quickly to respond to customer needs to provide the needed satellite access time from a global network in just a matter of days.
With now dozens of constellations of smallsats, the value of open, standardized platforms is clear. In a capital-intensive industry, it is crucial to leverage benefits of economy of scale in both hardware and expertise.
The KSATLite network, in establishing a cloud-based service for satellite communications, allows satellite operators to seamlessly transfer data from space through processing algorithms and on to the end-customer in record time. By offering an advanced capability on a scalable platform, KSAT has further opened access to space, enabling new missions to succeed in a fast-growing industry.
Big Data is clearly driving the need for new communications infrastructure and data volumes are exploding. Global networks are already carrying more than 1 Zeta Byte of traffic globally and this is forecast to grow exponentially. This is having a significant effect on the communications industry, with the need to invest in and deploy appropriate infrastructure, particularly as current satellite solutions remain suboptimal for data and are generally seen as a last resort.
The company believes that fast, reliable and ubiquitous data connectivity will fuel growth for businesses worldwide. The LeoSat solution is to take data networking into space, and in doing so, set a new bar for ultra-secure, high-speed connectivity.
2018 has been a key year for LeoSat, having achieved a number of significant milestones for the company that have included securing investment from Hispasat and SKY Perfect JSAT and gaining approval from the FCC to operate our constellation in the U.S. , commitments for the company from customers and resellers total more than $1 billion. Significant progress on the journey to deliver the world's first business backbone in space, to open new markets for data networking for enterprise, telecoms and government communications across the globe, all is well underway.
Hispasat, the Spanish national satellite operator, invested in LeoSat. Hispasat is one of the only global satellite operators to have achieved continuous growth over the past years, thanks to a strong focus on innovation and smart long term investments. With this investment, Hispasat has found a perfect complement for their geostationary fleet with the ability to expand its scope significantly toward new verticals that will define the data market over the coming years. This investment underlines Hispasat's firm belief in the unique attributes of LeoSat's new Low Earth Orbit (LEO) network architecture to ensure further growth in the future.
Combining advanced on-board routers with inter-satellite laser links, LeoSat is creating an optical backbone in space, providing fiber-like low-latency and gigabit per second data delivery which is ultra-secure and extremely resilient, thanks to its gateway independent meshed-network data-connectivity from transmitter to receiver. This solution will provide valuable new business opportunities in the growing data and mobility markets in sectors such as telecommunications, multinational enterprise, maritime and government services by ensuring previously unavailable levels of network performance combined with worldwide reach.
Concept image of LeoSat's backbone in space.
LeoSat was recently awarded the authority by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to provide NGSO (Non-Geostationary Satellite Orbit) services in the United States. The FCC market access grant will allow the company to address currently unmet demand for high-bandwidth, low-latency, high-security data transmissions from large commercial and government customers in the United States.
Designed as a backbone in space for global business, the data network will enable new opportunities for sectors such as enterprise-to-enterprise communications, telecommunications, oil & gas operations and maritime services, delivering premise-to-premise high-speed data (greater than 1 Gbps) with unmatched security to any location in the world. Moreover, while our core focus is solving essential business communications challenges, the unique design of LeoSat's constellation means capacity will also be available to enable a new level of connectivity services for internet and cellular backhaul for remote and underserved communities.
Getting approval from the U.S. Federal Communications Commission – among the world's most sophisticated radio frequency regulators – is an important milestone for LeoSat and recognizes that we have a unique solution for high-speed and ultra-secure enterprise connectivity.
Earlier this year, LeoSat entered into an agreement with Phasor, the developer of leading, enterprise-grade electronically-steered antenna (ESA) systems, to develop a powerful Ka-band, NGSO–ready version of their breakthrough low-profile ESA, scalable to virtually any use-case requirement to provide high-speed, low-latency, ultra-secure, Ka connectivity infrastructure to corporate, government and commercial markets, offering speeds about 1.5 times faster than terrestrial fiber. Phasor's very low profile, electronically steerable antenna enables the reliable, robust delivery of high-bandwidth services. The antenna is solid-state, with no moving parts, allowing satellite signals to be tracked electronically. The ESA can be flat or conformal in design and can be fitted seamlessly to moving vehicles, enabling a number of applications for maritime and mobility markets.
This year, pre-launch commitments that span a wide range of fast-growing data and mobility sectors have been received by LeoSat from customers and resellers for more than $1billion. With the ever-growing demands of managing Big Data and Cybersecurity, global enterprises now — more than ever — need instant infrastructure from anywhere to everywhere that is fast, secure and reliable. For companies such as DCS Telecom, Globecomm and Signalhorn, who will provide innovative connectivity solutions, LeoSat is helping these firms to open-up new markets and deliver business growth.
While the perception of satellite for data communications has been seen as a last resort, LeoSat will change that belief by pairing the speed of fiber with the ubiquity of satellite and adding a new dimension of ultra-security, bringing a paradigm shift in expanding the existing satellite services market. LeoSat can fuel worldwide economic growth by offering customers the fastest, most reliable and secure global infrastructure for data communications. These commercial agreements demonstrate LeoSat's progression from a new networking concept to a unique solution which resonates with customers and has also attracted the aforementioned backing of leading satellite companies.
With capabilities beyond satellite and fiber, LeoSat's unique infrastructure is what data communications has been waiting for — a game-changing service which realizes the synergies of both worlds to re-define connectivity in terms of capacity, latency, security, efficiency and coverage. For 2018 and beyond, significant interest in the LeoSat constellation will continue to be seen. Resilient and future-proof networking to deliver connectivity and new services and the opportunity to tap into the broader data-communication market outside and beyond the traditional SATCOM market will be realized.
Mark Rigolle joined LeoSat as CEO in September of 2015. He has more than 22 years of experience in the telecom and satellite sectors. Between 2004 and 2009, he served as the CFO of SES. He was then appointed CEO of O3b Networks, successfully raising $1.2 billion to fund the launch of a MEO constellation of satellites that provide affordable trunking and mobile backhaul capacity in developing countries. In addition, Mark has acted as advisor to satellite operators and private equity funds, as well as being a co-founder of Kacific, a promising satellite-broadband-to-the-home start-up. Mark has held various positions in Finance and Business Development at Belgacom and ABN AMRO. He holds a Master's Degree in Economics from the University of Leuven, Belgium.

PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PHDCCI) organized the 3rd edition of Global Film Tourism Conclave with the theme 'Transforming Location into Vacation' on 11 January 2019 at JW Marriott Mumbai Juhu. The programme was supported by the Ministry of Tourism, Government of India. Producers Guild of India was the Synergy Partner for the programme.
Inaugurating the Conclave, Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi, Union Minister for Minority Affairs, Government of India, said, "During my tenure as the Information & Broadcasting Minister, I persuaded the government to form a single window clearance for Indian and international films. It is the right time now to create a uniform single window system across India to get the permissions for shooting of films. Organizations such as PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry can play an important role in encouraging these possibilities." Satyajeet Rajan (IAS), Director General, Ministry of Tourism, Government of India, spoke about the initiatives of the Ministry of Tourism and various state governments for promoting Film Tourism. He said that the Government of India has also approved execution of MoUs with countries such as Romania and Bulgaria to foster bilateral cooperation through film tourism for promoting the two countries as attractive tourism destinations.PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry and its Knowledge Partner- Ernst & Young have jointly released a Knowledge Report 'Building brand India through film tourism'. The report shares suggested avenues for collaboration and policy initiatives that the industry can undertake towards making films an effective investment medium to enable destination tourism in India.
The report says that there is a potential for up to a million film tourists to visit India by 2022 which could result in revenues of up to $3 billion. The Indian film industry is one of the fastest growing sectors in the country today and has grown from INR 122 billion in 2016 to INR 156 billion in 2017, representing a growth rate of 28%. It is also one of the largest producers of cinematographic films in the world and the projected size of the industry is estimated to reach INR 204 billion by 2019. Leading Indian Film Director and Producer, Ramesh Sippy and noted Actor, Producer and Director, Satish Kaushik were felicitated during the programme for their contribution towards the Indian cinema. They requested to curb the lengthy process of approvals and permissions to shoot in India and urged the state tourism boards to come out with film industry friendly policy. D. K. Aggarwal, Senior Vice President, PHDCCI, said films are a great source of showcasing any country's culture, heritage and vast economic potentials. "Indian film industry achieved exponential growth of 27% in 2017- both domestic and international. PHDCCI is committed to create such meaningful platforms, to do its bit in enabling all the parameters of the tourism industry to grow and flourish further," he said.

Q: Crontab to create a new file I'm trying to create a simple crontab that creates a file called log.txt every minute by populating it with a simple command's output. Right now this is what I've put into my crontab:
* * * * * (/usr/bin/ls <pathToRandomDirectory) > log.txt

By my understanding, the 5 asterisks correspond to "every minute". But when I run this the log.txt file is not being created. Is there something I'm missing here?
ALSO, if I didn't want to have an email sent to me whenever the job is created I found that I need to put the line:
>/dev/null 2>&1

Somewhere in my crontab file. Where exactly does this go? At the end of the command or on a separate line?

A: You have to put an absolute path for log.txt. Otherwise, it will be created in /.
Also, >/dev/null 2>&1 has to be at the end of the sentence. If you want the 2 (meaning the errors) to be dismissed, just write 2>/dev/null.
Then, your final cronjob would be like this:
* * * * * /usr/bin/ls pathToRandomDirectory > /pathToRandomDirectory/log.txt 2>/dev/null

A: What exactly should be in that file? This creates a new file with the text "something" in it every minute:
* * * * * echo "something" > /path/to/your/file.txt

I had some problems with crontab especially when I created a new crontab config - my problem was that I had to insert an empty line at the end of the crontab - some systems need it to work correctly. So if you do
$ crontab -l

the output should be a list of your cron jobs on each line and then an empty line at the end.
Try it if it works for you. Sorry, but I'm not sure about the email, but I dont think that you need to put lines like that to crontab, play around with the configuration - it shouldn't send you any emails by default.

If this recession has taught us anything it's the times they are a changin', especially when it comes to business and the labor market. And, we must coach not only unemployed workers, but also high school and college students to recognize that and look to where the jobs will be in the future when considering a career.
The reason is pretty clear. Some bellwether corporations have gone bankrupt, entire industries are rethinking and reshaping their business plan; several traditional can't miss careers are no longer sure things.
There are some positives amid all that bad news.
Most economists believe the recession ended in June, and the economy is turning the corner. Analysts expect the job picture may start to brighten early next year.
When that happens, the labor market won't return to business as usual. In some areas, such as manufacturing, housing, retail and hospitality/restaurants, the struggle for jobs is expected to continue.
And, that's why workers - current and future - need to think change. Local unemployed adults and job counselors, parents and students, teachers and career counselors at high schools and colleges across the suburbs must look seriously at the labor market's future direction and examine where they may fit in.
In a Labor Day story, Daily Herald Business Writer Kim Mikus talked to experts about careers expected to see growth first as the economy moves forward.
"In every recession, there are certain areas that lead the way," said John Challenger, of Challenger, Gray & Christmas, a Chicago-based outplacement company.
Health care, particularly nurses, physical therapists, primary care physicians and medical coding will likely remain in demand. Chronic teaching shortages still exist in math, science, special education and English as a second language.
Do you have an interest in global business? How about government infrastructure? Jobs that come from the stimulus will include not only construction workers, but also civil engineers and architects.
It's more important now than ever to ask two key questions when investigating a career choice: Where will the jobs be in the future? And what do I have to do to get one?

ST Kinetics Unveils Finalised Bronco New GenerationTracked Carrier Design
ST Kinetics has unveiled its finalised Bronco New-Generation All-Terrain Tracked Carrier design at the Singapore Airshow 2016. The variant displayed at the exhibition is equipped with the company's 120-mm SRAMS mortar system. (IHS/Kelvin Wong)
ST Kinetics used the Singapore Airshow to unveil the Bronco New Gen all terrain tracked carrier.
In what is the third generation of the Bronco, the new articulated tracked carrier incorporates the lessons learned during the UK's deployment of the Warthog to Afghanistan, according to Winston Toh, chief marketing officer at ST Kinetics.
Toh explained that with a lower curb weight than the Warthog, the new Bronco can take on higher add-on protection and payload. The vehicle has a re-engineered chassis that provides greater space for the crew and increased protection thanks to its V-shaped hull.
With a curb weight of 10,200 kg, the Bronco has a payload of 6300 kg – with the potential to increase that to 7800 kg – and can accommodate four passengers in the front module and eight in the rear.
The vehicle has a maximum speed of 65 km/h on road and 4 km/h in water while the range on roads is 400 km.
The Bronco New Gen will also feature a new camera system that gives the crew greater visibility of the surrounding area while driving close-hatched or at night.
While the company self-funded project has yet to secure a launch customer, Toh said there had been significant interest already in the vehicle.

is a Shinto shrine located in the town of Taga, Inukami District, Shiga Prefecture, Japan. The shrine is frequently referred to as  by local residents. The gardens of the inner shoin, which date to the Momoyama period are a nationally designated Place of Scenic Beauty, whereas the mid-Edo period Shoin itself is a Shiga Prefectural Important Cultural Property.

History
The foundation of Taga Taisha is unknown. It is mentioned in the ancient Kojiki and Nihon Shoki chronicles from 712 AD. The shrine's legend connects it with the legendary hero Yamato Takeru, whose son, Inugami no Mitasuki was sent as an emissary to Sui China in 614 AD and the first Japanese embassy to Tang China in 630 AD. He was also the ancestor of the Inukami clan, from which Inukami District, Shiga (where the shrine is located) takes its name. However, in the 914 AD Engishiki records, it is listed only as a small shrine. From the Heian period it was revered as having efficiency for childbirth, vocational aid, fire extinguishing and longevity. During then Muromachi period, as pilgrimages to the Ise Grand Shrine and the Kumano Sanzan gained in popularity, pilgrims were encouraged to visit Taga Shrine as part of the route.  In the Sengoku period, Toyotomi Hideyoshi had a strong faith in this shrine and frequently prayed for an extension of his mother's life. He donated 10,000 koku, or the equivalent revenue of one year for a daimyō for its reconstruction and upkeep.

The shrine was destroyed by a fire in 1615, but was rebuilt immediately by Shogun Tokugawa Hidetada and reconstructed in 1633 by Tokugawa Iemitsu. In 1651, Ii Naotaka of Hikone Domain granted it estates of 150 koku for its upkeep. However, much of the shrine was destroyed again by fire in 1733, and by a storm in 1791. Each time, it was rebuilt with the assistance of the Tokugawa shogunate and Hikone Domain.

With the establishment of State Shinto following the Meiji restoration, the shrine was designated a prefectural shrine under the Modern system of ranked Shinto shrines in 1871. It was promoted to a  in 1885 and to a  in 1914.

Many of the shrine's buildings are Registered Tangible Cultural Properties of Taga Town.

Festivals
: Most important festival held on April 22. Also known as .
: A festival of planting rice with traditional rites held on June 7.
: A lantern festival held on the night of August 3–5.

Specialty goods
: A talisman shakushi (Japanese ladle) from the reign of Empress Genshō. Allegedly the origin of the Japanese word otamajakushi.
: A Japanese sweet made of mochi sticky rice sold at souvenir shops around the shrine. Itokiri-mochi was first made to celebrate the Japanese victory over the Mongols.

Access
The shrine is about a 20 minute walk from Taga Taisha-mae Station on the Ohmi Railway Taga Line, or about ten minutes by bus from Minami-Hikone Station on the JR West Biwako Line.

Report on the UN Women global response to COVID-19
Date: Tuesday, 2 February 2021
This global report provides a synthesis of the work of UN Women during 2020 to ensure a gender-sensitive response to the COVID-19 pandemic in ending violence against women, economic empowerment, leadership, gender data, and humanitarian contexts.
Universal health coverage, gender equality and social protection: A health systems approach
Date: Thursday, 10 December 2020
This discussion paper focuses on the interconnections between policies to move toward universal health care (UHC) as a key element of social protection and those to advance gender equality, women's empowerment, and human rights. Based on an analysis of country experiences, it shows how gender is a key fulcrum on which all health system elements are leveraged and is hence central to achieving UHC.
From insights to action: Gender equality in the wake of COVID-19
Date: Wednesday, 2 September 2020
Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, shrinking working hours, increased care burdens, and heightened violence have exacerbated the challenges that women and girls face. Unless action is taken, by 2021 around 435 million women and girls will be living in extreme poverty, including 47 million pushed into poverty as a result of COVID-19. This publication presents the latest evidence on the multiple impacts of the pandemic on women and girls.
Spotlight on gender, COVID-19 and the SDGs: Will the pandemic derail hard-won progress on gender equality?
Date: Tuesday, 7 July 2020
Health emergencies such as COVID-19, and the response to them, can exacerbate gender inequality and derail hard-won progress not only on SDG 3 but on all the SDGs. This paper draws insights from emerging data and shines a spotlight on the long-term impact of the crisis on the achievement of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The paper concludes by outlining policy priorities drawn from the evidence presented.
Decision tree: Data collection on violence against women and COVID-19
This decision tree guides data collectors through the various considerations, viable options, and alternative data sources for obtaining information without jeopardizing participants' safety or the data's integrity. In doing so, it aims to identify data sources and methodologies that are useful for strengthening services and referral pathways for women experiencing violence during COVID-19.
Are you ready for change? Gender equality attitudes study 2019
This study serves as an evidence-based instrument that demonstrates how leveraging attitudinal change can be used as a critical tactic towards advancing gender equality. The findings have the potential to inform policymakers, advertisers, private sector leaders, civil society, and decision-makers on challenging discriminatory attitudes and gender roles that perpetuate gender inequality and women's subordinate status in society.
UN Women's response to COVID-19
Date: Tuesday, 2 June 2020
UN Women's response to COVID-19 includes policy advice and programmatic interventions along five priority areas: Gender-based violence, including domestic violence, is mitigated and reduced; social protection and economic stimulus packages serve women and girls; people support and practice the equal sharing of the burden of care; women and girls lead and participate in COVID-19 response planning and decision-making; and data and coordination mechanisms include gender perspectives.


Liquid smoke substitute comes handy in situations when you run out of liquid smoke while preparing a smoky meat recipe. Therefore, for those last-minute needs, here comes some easy liquid smoke substitute recipes for you.
A liquid smoke is a concentrated seasoning which is used to impart a smoky flavor to meat, fish, and vegetarian mock meat recipes. It is a potent seasoning used to enhance the appealing flavor and aroma of real smoke house wood without using an actual smokehouse.
Today, liquid smoke has very efficiently replaced the traditional smoking process which involves long cooking hours and use of ample of wood along with some additional flavoring ingredients to provide that smoky flavor to the foods.
Hence, liquid smoke, also called smoke condensate provide same, sometimes even better smoky flavor, color, texture to the foods being cooked that too without investing much of time and efforts.
Liquid smoke is created by controlled burning of wood chips or sawdust. The smoke produced is then captured, extracted with water to dissolve the smoke components to form a base smoke solution. During the manufacturing process, the carcinogen level is reduced substantially by removing the tar and ash from the solution, making it more safe to consume than the traditionally smoked foods.
The base can be further modified to develop different smoke flavors. Since liquid smoke ingredients include only natural smoke and water, the solution is so concentrated that only a few drops of liquid smoke are sufficient to give a smoky flavor to food items. In fact, excess of liquid smoke can actually ruin the flavor of the barbecued or grilled meat.
Liquid smoke is primarily used to lend a smokey flavor to foods and this can be achieved in four different ways. Firstly, adding a couple of drops of liquid smoke to the marinade or brine in which meat is soaked prior to cooking. Second option is to mix it in the cooking liquid or the sauce while slow cooking.
Thirdly, spray or apply liquid smoke to the meat or glaze the meat before it is placed in the oven. Another option is to spray it on the lava rocks of a gas grill, but be sure to use this option before you ignite the grill. Liquid smoke can be used to flavor sausages, chops, roasts, ribs, soups, sauces and curries, but mind you it has a strong taste, excess usage can make the food bitter.
In situations, when you are in short supply of liquid smoke, you can opt for the traditional smoking method to give that smoky flavor to your foods. But smoking is time-consuming and every time it is not necessary that you may have all the tools required for the process.
I know what would be lingering in your mind now, 'other than the traditional smoking method, what is a good substitute for liquid smoke?' Well, answer for your question lies in the below given some really good liquid smoke substitutes.
This is prepared by drying peppers over oak burning fires for a couple of weeks. This smoke substitute comes in two flavors, one is Pimenton de la Vera Dulce, which has a sweet smoky flavor and the other is Pimenton de la Vera Picante, having a hot smoky flavor. Hence, as per your palate, you can pick either of the two spices.
The next substitute is prepared of grounded jalapeno peppers that are slow smoked over a natural wood fire.
The powder comes in two types morita chipotle powder, which is prepared of red jalapenos, and brown chipotle powder, made from green jalapenos and is comparatively more expensive.
Also known as Lapsang Souchong or Russian Caravan, is tea that is known for its smoky flavor and aroma. It is a black Chinese tea that serves as a perfect liquid smoke substitute and is prepared by drying the tea leaves over the pine fires. For using this liquid smoke alternative, pour boiling water over the smoked tea leaves and then let the tea infuse for a few minutes. You can now use the soaked tea, instead of liquid smoke to add that smoky flavor to your meat recipes.
These substitutes that can be used in place of liquid smoke to offer that same smoky taste and aroma to the meat, fish or any other recipes. However, smoked fish, chicken or turkey, ham hock with baked beans are some other alternatives that can also be considered in situations when you are in search of some good substitutes for liquid smoke.

Report on parachute death still awaits
Mar 25, 2011 at 12:01 AM Sep 10, 2014 at 10:33 AM
It's been more than a year, and the circumstances surrounding the tragic death of a Fort Lee soldier is still not publicly known.
One thing that is know is that once was a common site at Fort Lee - soldiers on parachutes jumping from airplanes and helico
One thing that is know is that once was a common site at Fort Lee - soldiers on parachutes jumping from airplanes and helicopters to Fort Lee's McLaney Drop Zone - is no more.
The military jumps ended following the death of Pvt. Anthony R. Milo a year ago during a training jump.
Milo, a 24-year-old parachute rigger from Colorado Springs, Colo., died near the McLaney Drop Zone on River Road in Prince George County during training on March 4, 2010. Since then, there have been changes to training for parachute riggers
Milo arrived at Fort Lee on Dec. 14, 2009 for training as a member of C Company, 262nd Quartermaster Battalion, 23rd Quartermaster Brigade. His military occupational specialty was 92R - parachute rigger.
On March 4, 2010, Milo was part of a group of 45 parachutists who were scheduled to jump in numerous waves that day. When his turn to jump came, he exited the UH-60 Blackhawk being used that day at an altitude of approximately 1,500 feet. After he exited the helicopter, Milo hit nearby power lines at about 10:25 a.m. A Dominion Virginia Power crew cut power to the lines by 10:35 a.m. so the soldier could be retrieved. Fort Lee personnel administered CPR until emergency crews arrived. He was then transported to Southside Regional Medical Center at 10:57 a.m. and was pronounced dead at 11:12 a.m.
His death was the first fatal training parachute jump in the post's history.
The McLaney Drop Zone is located along River Road in Prince George County. Fort Lee used the drop zone for Aerial Delivery Training including sling load and parachute jump practice. Since the fatal incident, Army parachute jumps as part of the rigger training course have moved to Fort Pickett while sling-load training remains at Fort Lee.
Army officials are investigating how the jump turned deadly, including looking at weather conditions at the time. In particular, military investigators are looking at the wind conditions at the time of the jump.
Jump training is supposed to be canceled when winds reach 10 knots, or 11.5 mph. The National Weather Service says winds that day was blowing between 14 and 18 mph, with gusts up to 25 mph, at an airport 14 miles from the base.
But officials say it is too early to determine if weather conditions were responsible for Milo's accident.
Fort Lee officials will review the findings of the investigation and then will determine whether changes need to be made to the training. But first the final report on the incident must be issued.
Margaret Banish-Donaldson, spokeswoman with the Army Combat Readiness Safety Center, which is tasked with the report, said it is still awaiting final approval for the report and that it takes about a year for such a report to be completed.
Army parachute riggers, the family of Pvt. Milo and the public are waiting for an explanation into what happened that led to a soldier being killed during training. We are all awaiting answers.

Q: Counting occurrences of integers in an array I'm writing a program that counts the occurrences of integers entered into an array, eg if you entered 1 1 1 1 2 1 3 5 2 3, the program would print out the distinct numbers followed by their occurrences, like this:
1 occurs 5 times,
2 occurs 2 times,
3 occurs 2 times,
5 occurs 1 time
And it's almost finished, aside from one problem I can't figure out:
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.util.Arrays;
public class CountOccurrences
{
   public static void main (String [] args)
   {

    Scanner scan = new Scanner (System.in);

    final int MAX_NUM = 10;

    final int MAX_VALUE = 100;

    int [] numList;

    int num;

    int numCount;

    int [] occurrences;

    int count[];

    String end;

    numList = new int [MAX_NUM];

    occurrences = new int [MAX_NUM];

    count = new int [MAX_NUM];

 do
  {
     System.out.print ("Enter 10 integers between 1 and 100: ");

     for (num = 0; num < MAX_NUM; num++)
     {
        numList[num] = scan.nextInt();
     }

     Arrays.sort(numList);

     count = occurrences (numList);

     System.out.println();

     for (num = 0; num < MAX_NUM; num++)
     {
        if (num == 0)
        {
           if (count[num] <= 1)
              System.out.println (numList[num] + " occurs " + count[num] + " time");

           if (count[num] > 1)
              System.out.println (numList[num] + " occurs " + count[num] + " times");
        }

        if (num > 0 && numList[num] != numList[num - 1])
        {
           if (count[num] <= 1)
              System.out.println (numList[num] + " occurs " + count[num] + " time");

           if (count[num] > 1)
              System.out.println (numList[num] + " occurs " + count[num] + " times");
        }
     }

     System.out.print ("\nContinue? <y/n> ");
     end = scan.next();

  } while (!end.equalsIgnoreCase("n"));
}

 public static int [] occurrences (int [] list)
 {
      final int MAX_VALUE = 100;

      int num;

      int [] countNum = new int [MAX_VALUE];

      int [] counts = new int [MAX_VALUE];

      for (num = 0; num < list.length; num++)
  {
     counts[num] = countNum[list[num]] += 1;
  }

  return counts;
 }
}

The problem I'm having is that no matter what the current value for 'num' is, 'count' only prints out 1, and the problem isn't in the method that counts the occurrences, because when you enter numbers in the place of the variable, the value changes.
Is there any way that I can alter this so that it'll print out the occurrences properly, or should I try something else?
And the simpler the solution, the better, as I haven't yet gone past single dimension arrays.
Thanks for the help!

A: Try HashMap. For this type of problem hashes is very efficient and fast.
I write this function which take array and return a HashMap whose key is the number and value is the occurance of that number.
public static HashMap<Integer, Integer> getRepetitions(int[] testCases) {
    HashMap<Integer, Integer> numberAppearance = new HashMap<Integer, Integer>();

    for(int n: testCases) {
        if(numberAppearance.containsKey(n)) {
            int counter = numberAppearance.get(n);
            counter = counter+1;
            numberAppearance.put(n, counter);
        } else {
            numberAppearance.put(n, 1);
        }
    }
    return numberAppearance;
}

Now iterate throught hashmap and print occurance of numbers like this :
HashMap<Integer, Integer> table = getRepetitions(testCases);

for (int key: table.keySet()) {
        System.out.println(key + " occur " + table.get(key) + " times");
}

Output:

A: I'd use a Bag, a collection that counts the number of times an item appears in the collection.  Apache Commons has an implementation of it.  Here's their interface, and here's a sorted tree implementation.
You'd do something like this:
Bag<Integer> bag = new TreeBag<Integer>();
for (int i = 0; i < numList.length; i++) {
    bag.add(numList[i]);
}
for (int uniqueNumber: bag.uniqueSet()) {
    System.out.println("Number " + uniqueNumber + " counted " + bag.getCount(uniqueNumber) + " times");
}

The example above takes elements from your numList array and adds them to the Bag for purposes of generating the counts, but de rigueur you don't even need the array.  Just add the elements to the Bag directly.  Something like:
// Make your bag.
Bag<Integer> bag = new TreeBag<Integer>();

...

// Populate your bag.
for (num = 0; num < MAX_NUM; num++) {
    bag.add(scan.nextInt());
}

...

// Print the counts for each unique item in your bag.
for (int uniqueNumber: bag.uniqueSet()) {
    System.out.println("Number " + uniqueNumber + " counted " + bag.getCount(uniqueNumber) + " times");
}

A: You could start by initializing an array of values between MIN and MAX. Then you can add to each element of the array when that value occurs1. Something like,
Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
final int MAX_NUM = 10;
final int MAX_VALUE = 100;
final int MIN_VALUE = 1;
final int SIZE = MAX_VALUE - MIN_VALUE;
int[] numList = new int[SIZE];
System.out.printf("Enter %d integers between %d and %d:%n",
        MAX_NUM, MIN_VALUE, MAX_VALUE);
for (int i = 0; i < MAX_NUM; i++) {
  System.out.printf("Please enter number %d: ", i + 1);
  System.out.flush();
  if (!scan.hasNextInt()) {
    System.out.printf("%s is not an int%n", scan.nextLine());
    i--;
    continue;
  }
  int v = scan.nextInt();
  if (v < MIN_VALUE || v > MAX_VALUE) {
    System.out.printf("%d is not between %d and %d%n",
            v, MIN_VALUE, MAX_VALUE);
    continue;
  }
  numList[v - MIN_VALUE]++;
}
boolean first = true;
for (int i = 0; i < SIZE; i++) {
  if (numList[i] > 0) {
    if (!first) {
      System.out.print(", ");
    } else {
      first = false;
    }
    if (numList[i] > 1) {
      System.out.printf("%d occurs %d times",
              i + MIN_VALUE, numList[i]);
    } else {
      System.out.printf("%d occurs once", i + MIN_VALUE);
    }
  }
}
System.out.println();

A: What I have to say is, it took me a while to figure out what the two variables count and countNum represent for, maybe some comments are needed. But finally I find out the bug.
Suppose input ten numbers are: 5, 6, 7, 8, 5, 6, 7, 8, 5, 6
After sort, numList is : 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6, 7, 7, 8, 8
The array count returned by occurrences()should be: [1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 1, 2]
Actually the only useful numbers in this result array are:
count[2]: 3     count number for numList[2]: 5
count[5]: 3     count number for numList[5]: 6
count[7]: 2     count number for numList[7]: 7
count[9]: 2     count number for numList[9]: 8

The other numbers, like the first two numbers 1, 2 before 3, are only used to calculate the sum occurrences incrementally, right? So, your loop logic should be changed as following:

*

*remove the first if code block:
if (num == 0)
{
   if (count[num] <= 1)
      System.out.println (numList[num] + " occurs " + count[num] + " time");

   if (count[num] > 1)
      System.out.println (numList[num] + " occurs " + count[num] + " times");
}

*Change the second if condition to:
if ((num + 1) == MAX_NUM || numList[num] != numList[num + 1]) {
    ......
}

After this, your code should work well as expected.
BTW, you really don't need to do it so intricately. Just try HashMap :)

A: I think you can simplify your code a lot if you use this approach. You still have to modify to include the MAX_NUM and MAX_VALUE.
public static void main(String[] args) {

    Integer[] array = {1,2,0,3,4,5,6,6,7,8};
    Stack stack = new Stack();

    Arrays.sort(array, Collections.reverseOrder());

    for(int i : array){
        stack.push(i);
    }

    int currentNumber = Integer.parseInt(stack.pop().toString()) , count = 1;

    try {
        while (stack.size() >= 0) {
            if (currentNumber != Integer.parseInt(stack.peek().toString())) {
                System.out.printf("%d occurs %d times, ", currentNumber, count);
                currentNumber = Integer.parseInt(stack.pop().toString());
                count = 1;
            } else {
                currentNumber = Integer.parseInt(stack.pop().toString());
                count++;
            }
        }
    } catch (EmptyStackException e) {
         System.out.printf("%d occurs %d times.", currentNumber, count);
    }
}

Citizens seek to overturn local marijuana ban
Marijuana in MI
Posted: Mar 4, 2020 / 06:37 PM EST / Updated: Mar 4, 2020 / 07:29 PM EST
SIDNEY TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — Recreational marijuana will be back up for a vote in two Michigan communities where municipal officials opted out and citizens decided to put it on Tuesday's ballot.
One is in Macomb County on the other side of the state. The other is in the small farming community of Sidney Township in Montcalm County.
Sidney Township officials opted out of marijuana sales and production, but Michigan's recreational marijuana allows citizens to gather signatures and put the issue on the ballot.
"No doesn't mean no anymore under this law," said David Overholt, who has been at the forefront of the legalization effort in Michigan, has a business in Sydney Township and is a self-described pain in the side of township officials.
He only needed to get 55 signatures to get the issue on the ballot but he gathered 116 valid signatures.
"We're only going to ask for recreational farming. That's all we ask for. We didn't ask for dispensaries, we didn't ask for social clubs, we didn't ask for events, processing, trucking," Overholt said.
The ballot issue will ask for two farms of 500 or 2,000 plants each and an unlimited number of marijuana microbusinesses of up to 150 plants.
Overholt said the increase in property values and the additional taxpayers will help in a county that is struggling to fund priorities like libraries and law enforcement — which will also have funding requests on Tuesday's ballot.

He pointed out that marijuana is trading for $3,000 to $4,000 a pound versus corn, which is at $3 to $4 per bushel.
"That's why I'm so confused with our leaders who have so many people here unemployed and so many people that re doing this already. Why not put them in a position where their tax dollars would go help our community," Overholt said. "We're only asking for one simple thing: to be allowed to farm, participate in a state-licensed program and become legal business owners."
Township officials are unanimously opposed to the ballot proposal. They say they are backed by the 2018 vote on legalizing recreational marijuana, which lost by 40 votes (534 yes to 574 no) in Sidney Township.
"We've been hectored over the years by one individual who wants to make Sidney Township his little drug czar. The township board has voted repeatedly. We've never had a vote that hasn't been five to zero," Trustee Jud Welder, a farmer and veteran, said.
Welder does not believe the agricultural community would benefit.
"Absolutely not," he said. "This isn't something that a farmer is going to grow. This is being grown in greenhouses, not on larger acreages, so the signs that you see saying, 'Support recreational farming' are a complete lie."
Overholt said in addition to the farmers, there would be all the auxiliary services that go into securing and building the farm operations.
"This industry offers so much for so many people," Overholt said.
"Marijuana has benefits. There are people who benefit from it all the time, but to have large-scale, industrial production of drugs in our little community might not be a good idea," Welder said.
