![]() ![]() Early development, therefore, focused on establishing a foreign exchange business with agents in New York, London, and Boston, while local agencies and the main office in Halifax concentrated on making domestic loans. The bank officially opened in August 1832, a time of unfavorable economic conditions because of massive crop failures and a cholera outbreak. None of the members of the first board of directors had any practical banking experience, but this did not deter them from setting up the necessary operations and appointing James Forman, a prominent citizen of Halifax, to serve as the first cashier (as the general manager was then called). The first public financial institution in the colonial port city of Halifax, the Bank of Nova Scotia was formed on March 30, 1832, to handle the economic activity associated with the area's lumber, fishing, farming, and foreign trade. in Mexico and subsidiary operations in Chile, Costa Rica, and El Salvador. Scotiabank ranks as the Caribbean's leading provider of financial services, has the largest presence in Asia of any Canadian bank, and maintains major holdings in Latin America, including majority ownership of Grupo Financiero Scotiabank Inverlat, S.A. Its international banking operations range across more than 40 countries and include more than 720 branches and offices and more than 1,500 ABMs. The Bank of Nova Scotia is considered to be the most international of the "Big Five" Canadian banks. Active in Canada, the United States, and Europe, Scotia Capital provides the bank's corporate, institutional, and government clients with corporate and investment banking services. ![]() The wealth management unit, which encompasses Scotiabank's retail brokerage, mutual funds, and private clients services, has nearly three-quarters of a million clients and in excess of $82 billion in assets under management. The domestic banking unit provides a full range of banking services to individuals, small businesses, and commercial accounts its more than six million customers are served through a network of nearly 1,000 domestic offices and close to 2,200 automatic bank machines (ABMs), in addition to telephone banking, wireless services, and the Scotia OnLine Internet banking service. ![]() Scotiabank, as it is usually called, conducts its activities through four major divisions: domestic banking, wealth management, Scotia Capital, and international. From 1997 to 2019, this was conducted through its precious metals division ScotiaMocatta.The Bank of Nova Scotia, the second oldest bank in Canada, was the second largest Canadian bank in 2003 in term of assets (trailing only Royal Bank of Canada). Scotiabank is a member of the London Bullion Market Association and one of fifteen accredited institutions which participate in the London gold fixing. Scotiabank has billed itself as "Canada's most international bank" due to its acquisitions primarily in Latin America and the Caribbean, and also in Europe and parts of Asia. Scotiabank was founded in 1832 in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where it was headquartered until relocating to Toronto in 1900. ![]() The Scotiabank swift code is NOSCCATT and the institution number is 002. With more than 92,001 employees and assets of Can$1,136 billion, Scotiabank trades on the Toronto and New York exchanges. It serves more than 25 million customers around the world and offers a range of products and services including personal and commercial banking, wealth management, corporate and investment banking. One of Canada's Big Five banks, it is the third-largest Canadian bank by deposits and market capitalization. The Bank of Nova Scotia, operating as Scotiabank, is a Canadian multinational banking and financial services company headquartered in Toronto, Ontario. ![]() ![]() I like to goof on the Time Life cd's that sell for hundreds of dollars and the songs are all common songs! There are some big time Time Life collectors on Ebay, that is for sure. The records title may recall an infomercial compilation disc series. Once I had the complete set then I started listening to them.Īs far as prices, once in awhile I search "Time Life" in the cd section, then go to "sold" and then sort by highest. With Pure Moods, Chicagos Cave mingles the spirits of mid-70s Can with Midwestern. ![]() In the end I got my factory sealed complete set for 140 bucks! It only took me 2.5 years to do it. I contacted him directly and sold him the extra 13 that I had in one shot. Once he paid me then I had his email address in my Paypal account. First I bought a Blues Christmas that was super cheap and flipped it back onto Ebay to this collector. Along the way I ended up buying a lot of 21 to get 8 that I needed, so I sold off the rest of them in one shot to a major collector. My goal was to get a complete set factory sealed. I started collecting the Living The Blues series on Apand made my last sale on December 3, 2015. I could burn my own CD's!Ĭlick to expand.Wow, 100 bucks for the BB King. With all the recent infomercials, I don't need them because I've already got most everything they put in their collections. I remember the commercial for this cd and thought it was weird they chose the X Files theme for a cd that was about relaxing. Pure Moods was the first United States release of a series of compilation albums of new-age music released by Virgin Records. Mostly good ole days songs and novelty songs, they put out a couple 2CD sets which I bought. But, just like watching a porno movie, just how many times can you re-package the same material with the same outcome?Īnother "As Seen On TV" mailorder only company was Heartland Music. RCA got involved directly and released compilation after compilation on CD's, including first-time rarities. Put out after "The King" died, it was one of the first of many to follow of Elvis collections. Pressed by RCA using the great stereo masters, where available, was a worthwhile set. Now, their claim to fame was the 5LP boxed set "The Elvis Presley Story" and the bonus LP's that they included. I ordered their "Country Music Cavalcade" introductory boxed set of LP's, pressed by CBS, and when it came, al the music was in mono, so I immediately cancelled my subscription. Some of the CD's have gone for big bucks,compared to the average CD.Īnother mailorder company was Candlelite Music. The CD's I've acquired stepped this up having exclusive top quality tracks that you can't find anywhere else. The mastering wasn't very good and many times they didn't use the best versions of songs. I never bought any when they were advertised on TV but have acquired a bunch in the last few years for $1. Time-Life put out many different series of LP's, Cassettes and into CD's. It is surprising how many they put out and I find them all the time that I didn't even know they existed. Rare stereo single versions were often used and sometimes the only way that the public could buy the stereo versions. Sound quality was decent but a little low in volume due to cramming atleast 10 songs on each side. Most of the songs were complete versions by the original artists. ![]() ![]() With its release, Cave once again proves that it possesses an unusual knack for genuinely compelling instrumental rock music, an increasingly impressive quality in our age of ever-decreasing attention spans.Back in the 70's, K-tel was king of the music collections. The drums change tack for the comedown, emerging through the sheen of glittering guitar delay for a meditative epilogue in 7/4 time.Īll in all, Pure Moods represents yet another intriguing twist in the psych-rock storyline. It’s all sharp angles at first, before peaking in a haze of tremolo and cymbal crashes at its midpoint. A thirteen-minute affair, the track reveals itself slowly. “Teenager” perpetuates the frantic theme, stuttering along with thumping toms and adolescent intensity, while “Brigette’s Trip,” which constitutes the record’s second half, is a guitar-led piece reminiscent of Kraftwerk. It’s a frenetic piece of music with aggressive rhythmic patterns anchored by the sound of a phone off its hook. “Hot Bricks” is the glitchy lead-off, driven by a propulsive kraut-rock beat. ![]() The record’s title may recall an infomercial compilation disc series featuring Enya, latter day Sting, and the theme from X-Files, but its contents are considerably more engaging than mere Hallmark bargain bin miscellany. With Pure Moods, Chicago’s Cave mingles the spirits of mid-70s Can with Midwestern garage and psych-rock to create a tight, 25-minute swirl of mesmeric rhythms and primal vocalization.

HAVING COUNT (customer_id) > 40 Code language: SQL (Structured Query Language) ( sql ) ![]() For example, the following statement finds customers who have made more than 40 payments: SELECT You can use the COUNT function in a HAVING clause to apply a specific condition to groups. Here is the partial output: PostgreSQL COUNT() with HAVING clause The following query illustrates the idea: SELECTĬustomer_id Code language: SQL (Structured Query Language) ( sql ) To get the number of payments by the customer, you use the GROUP BY clause to group the payments into groups based on customer id, and use the COUNT() function to count the payments for each group. Payment Code language: SQL (Structured Query Language) ( sql ) PostgreSQL COUNT() with GROUP BY clause To get the distinct amounts which customers paid, you use the COUNT(DISTINCT amount) function as shown in the following example: SELECT COUNT ( DISTINCT amount) Here is the output: 2) PostgreSQL COUNT(DISTINCT column) example Payment Code language: SQL (Structured Query Language) ( sql ) The following statement uses the COUNT(*) function to return the number of transactions in the payment table: SELECT COUNT(*) Let’s use the payment table in the sample database for the demonstration. For example, we can use the COUNT() with the GROUP BY clause to return the number of films in each film category. We often use the COUNT() function with the GROUP BY clause to return the number of items for each group. In this form, the COUNT(DISTINCT column) returns the number of unique non-null values in the column. SELECT COUNT( column)Ĭondition Code language: SQL (Structured Query Language) ( sql ) COUNT(DISTINCT column) However, it does not consider NULL values in the column. Similar to the COUNT(*) function, the COUNT(column) function returns the number of rows returned by a SELECT clause. Because multiple transactions see different states of data at the same time, there is no direct way for COUNT(*) function to count across the whole table, therefore PostgreSQL must scan all rows. This is related to the PostgreSQL MVCC implementation. If you use the COUNT(*) function on a big table, the query will be slow. When you apply the COUNT(*) function to the entire table, PostgreSQL has to scan the whole table sequentially. SELECT COUNT(*)Ĭondition Code language: SQL (Structured Query Language) ( sql ) The COUNT(*) function returns the number of rows returned by a SELECT statement, including NULL and duplicates. ![]() The following statement illustrates various ways of using the COUNT() function. The COUNT() function is an aggregate function that allows you to get the number of rows that match a specific condition of a query. Summary: in this tutorial, you will learn how to use the PostgreSQL COUNT() function to count the number of rows in a table. ![]() ![]() Once one cell overheats, you get a domino effect called “thermal runaway.” For batteries with hundreds of cells-like those in the Tesla Model S-thermal runaway has the potential to be a really big problem.Įven though examining why battery sometimes fail paints a frightening picture, lithium-ion batteries are a safe and mature technology. Thermal Runaway and Multiple Cells: While not relevant to single cell batteries like those found in most smartphones (the iPhone X actually has two cells), only one battery cell needs to fail for the whole battery to go.While very rare, if these safety precautions fail, overcharging is a good way to overheat a battery. Lithium-ion batteries do have built in protections to stop them overcharging. That’s why we recommend using only official chargers (or at the very least, high quality third party ones from reputable brands). If the charger shorts or generates heat near the battery, it can do enough damage to cause failure. Charger Problems: A badly made or poorly insulated charger can also damage a lithium-ion battery.RELATED: What to Do When Your Phone or Laptop Has a Swollen Battery If you pierce the battery (either by accident or deliberately), then you’ll almost certainly cause a short circuit. If you drop your phone too hard (or too many times), there’s a chance you’ll damage the separator and cause the electrodes to touch. ![]() Other external factor can cause a lithium-ion battery to fail, too. Batteries left too close to a heat source-or caught in a fire-have been known to explode.
![]() ![]() This taper promotes wide-ranging performance from small Bonefish flies to larger streamers and everything in between. ![]() We are an eco-friendly toy brand passionate about bringing back the joy of play. Unlike any other line, it features a continuous front taper which means the heaviest part of the head is at the rear and the lightest is in the forward part of the line. KIDS WOODEN TOYS ONLINE STORE IN INDIA ENOCH Toys for kids of all ages. Royal Wulff says ‘works best above 70 degrees Fahrenheit’.Ĭontinuous Forward Taper - The head of the Triangle Taper ranges from 27 feet to 40 feet, depending on the line size you choose. Due to its warm water design, this line will shrivel in cold weather or cold water. Bermuda Triangle Taper works best in water temps and air temps that are warm or tropical and the fly line is designed for maximum performance in a flats/skiff scenario. Warm/Tropical - This line is built for tropical climates. Plus, the textured design of the line helps anglers pick line up off of the water quicker. A continuous forward line taper means this line transfers casting energy from the rod to the fly with ease and is a great line choice in windy conditions. Whether you’re targeting Bonefish, Permit, or Tarpon, this is a line that will help you make accurate presentations with a variety of flies to a variety of species. The floating version of this line comes in a Sand/Blue/Ivory color scheme for enhanced stealth on the tropical saltwater flats.ĭelicate Presentations, Bonefish and More - This is a line that’s designed for delicacy and made for spooky fish in a flats fishing environment. The line’s durability and dirt-repelling capabilities can also be attributed to this coating and the textured design. The textured design of this line also helps minimize friction through the guides, capture air bubbles to float higher, and shed water quicker. The slick coating has a ‘dry feel’ which helps minimize friction through the guides and increases the life of the line. J3 Coating, Triple Color Scheme, Textured - Royal Wulff’s J3 Coating causes the line to float higher, shoot farther, and repel water for ultimate performance. ![]() This line features everything we’ve grown to love about the Triangle Taper with added performance from contemporary fly line technology that has been proven in recent years. Another benefit of this line is that it has loops at both ends unlike the cheaper line offerings from Royal Wulff. This line has a premium textured build for less friction through the guides, less drag, easier pick-up, and more buoyancy. ![]() Recreating these dramatic events, searching for answers with the families of the victims, interrogating scientists and authors who promote or rebuke the Bermuda Triangle connection, we look for the facts behind the mysterious events which have inspired this frightening myth.Royal Wulff has come out with a premium tropical saltwater version of their famous Triangle Taper Line. It also investigates why mighty combat aircraft have vanished from the sky in perfect flying conditions, and why the US Navy can’t confirm the reasons behind the disappearances of more than 20 submarines lost in the area in World War II. This compelling programme follows some of the world’s best shipwreck hunters as they attempt to overcome the odds and solve the mystery of where MV Derbyshire, a ship twice the size of the Titanic, disappeared to in 1980. Others are convinced that the cause is a cauldron of raging natural phenomena which strike without warning. Some believe the disasters are due to extra-terrestrial or paranormal forces active above and below the waves. More recently scores of modern ships and aircraft have inexplicably fallen victim to these unforgiving waters too, some disappearing without trace.īeyond the Bermuda Triangle: The Devil’s Sea investigates the deadliest enigma of the world’s biggest ocean and tackles the mystery of this death zone by reliving and investigating some of its most enthralling and inexplicable disasters.
