The 'Star Ruby' is the darkest of the red varieties. Its improved attributes of mutant variety are fruit and juice color, deeper red, and wide adaptation. The 'Rio Red' is a mutation-bred variety that was developed by treatment of bud sticks with thermal neutrons. The 'Rio Red' variety is a 1984 registered Texas grapefruit with registered trademarks Rio Star and Ruby-Sweet, also sometimes promoted as Reddest and Texas Choice. Using radiation to trigger mutations, new varieties were developed to retain the red tones that typically faded to pink. The Texas Legislature designated this grapefruit variety the official "State Fruit of Texas" in 1993. The 'Thompson' was a limb sport from a 'Marsh' grapefruit selected in 1913. ![]() It was a limb sport of a 'Thompson' grapefruit selected by A.E. The 1929 'Ruby Red' (or 'Redblush') patent was associated with real commercial success, which came after the discovery of a red grapefruit growing on a pink variety. The varieties of Texas and Florida grapefruit include: 'Duncan', 'Flame', 'Henderson', 'Hudson', 'Marsh', 'Oro Blanco', 'Pink', 'Pummelo HB', 'Ray', 'Rio Star', 'Ruby Red', 'Star Ruby', 'Thompson', 'Triumph', 'Walters', 'White Marsh'.

Things didn't get much better for Bad Company, and it was after the release of 1982's Rough Diamonds, a much weaker and unattached effort, that Rodgers decided to call it quits. The campaign toward a new sound does cause a few of the cuts ("Crazy Circles," "Evil Wind") to appear a bit forced and overly glitzy (especially the use of electronic drums), and the album spawns a smattering of a few attractive moments rather than evolving as a complete, constructive listen. "Gone, Gone, Gone," "Lonely for Your Love," and "She Brings Me Love" work best in Rodgers' favor, and fans did prove their loyalty, pushing the album to the number ten mark in the U.K. The good news is that Desolation Angels is a noticeable improvement from 1977's Burnin' Sky, with Bad Company's sound taking on a smoother, more polished feel than its predecessor. Although this change of musical scenery was a slight breath of fresh air, it wasn't enough to give Desolation Angels the much added depth or distinction that was intended, and only the vocal passion of "Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy" really comes out on top, eventually becoming a gold single. citation needed The song was written by the bands guitarist Mick Ralphs and appears on their second album, Straight Shooter. ![]() Released in 1975, it reached the Top 40 in both the United States and the UK. ![]() By the time Bad Company released Desolation Angels, it was evident that even Rodgers and Ralphs were getting tired of their '70s-styled, conveyor-belt brand of rock & roll, so they decided to add keyboards and some minor string work to the bulk of the tracks.

The innovation of combining audio series and Kindle ebooks is likely to be another winning move.Īmazon has created an ebook walled garden. Update Notes: As you can tell from the article above, it was first published quite some time ago.īut it is still relevant to understanding how Amazon and the Kindle Store have become so omnipresent in the book market, from New York Times bestsellers to one-time Indie self-publishers. So the sales of Kindle ebooks continue to grow. With the popularity of Kindle devices, Kindle apps, free Kindle ebooks, Kindle Unlimited, Prime Reading, Kindle Singles, free reading apps, and an ever-increasing number of Amazon Prime members, the only way forward is up for Amazon with ebooks.Įven though fewer people buy a Kindle today, phone and tablet reading is increasing for customers with an Amazon account. Clearly, the ebook and self-publishing market is still very young. That is less than a mere 10% of all the titles Amazon has on its shelves. The only remarkable statistic in all this is that only 3.4 million ebooks are in the Kindle Store. It is clear that from the biggest traditional publisher right down to the latest first-time self-published Kindle ebook author, they all need Amazon to sell their books. With 48.5 million books available on Amazon, it tells me that they may well be wrong. The traditional publishing industry that was, and in some ways, still is holding onto the belief that their 19th-century business model will work in the 21st century. But Amazon continues to make money from both and makes the running in the publishing market.īut this position of power was handed to Jeff Bezos and Amazon on a silver platter. Major publishers still look down on self-published titles as trash, similar to those 90’s returns. In fact, perhaps little has changed since those early days of Amazon. What the big six publishers had always thought of as trash, Bezos and Amazon slowly turned into a huge goldmine. Instead of hundreds of thousands of books being recycled to make cardboard packaging, he sold them online. It was Jeff Bezos who realized they had some value. ![]() Because they had no commercial value, they were destined to be pulped. These were books that had been returned because they were unsold in bookstores. Amazon built its business on the back of selling book returns from the then six major publishers. So, it is the end of the argument.īut it is interesting to remember where and how Amazon started, way back in the nineties. Some see this as a monopoly, which, by many, is the definition of a bad thing. So it can, will, and does control the book publishing market. It also says that no matter what anyone thinks, believes, or tries to deny, Amazon has built a book sales and distribution empire. Or give or take a few ancient papyrus scrolls and stone-carved tablets. Perhaps it includes many out-of-print books. That surely must be somewhere close to every single book in existence. ![]() Amazon removed this facility from Amazon Associates a few years ago. Unfortunately, it is no longer possible to access the data, as shown in the screenshots above. ![]() I found the answer to how many books on Amazon using the same home screen search technique on Amazon Associates and was quite astonished at the number I found. What I was more interested in, though, was how many books in total there were on Amazon. So yes, you could say that 3.4 million was a lot of ebooks. With the growth in tablets, larger smartphones, and of course, dedicated e-readers, the demand for ebooks is increasing.Īs is the motivation for people to write new books and become published authors in the hope of gaining sales in a new and vibrant market. Nor with his calculation that a new Kindle ebook was published every five minutes. Using the same method at the time, I found that the total had increased by 20,000 only a few days after his post. So it has been a difficult question to answer definitively.īut some time ago, Claude Nougat found a clever way to find the answer to this question using Amazon Associates.Īt the time, there were, in fact, close to 3.4 million ebooks listed on the Kindle Store. With the popularity of ebooks, the question of how many ebooks are available on the Amazon Kindle store has been asked many times.īut Amazon keeps this information about how many ebooks there are on Kindle very close to its chest. Update: Read our newer related article revealing that 30,000 new Kindle ebooks were published on the Amazon Kindle Store in only four days.

How does the electronic notetaker connect to your system?įirst 40-character braille display with patented ATC technology.There are a number of questions to ask when purchasing electronic notetakers, including the following: An electronic notetaker with a braille display is typically double the price.

Data entered into an electronic notetaker may be transferred to a larger computer with more memory, reviewed using the built-in speech synthesizer or braille display, or printed on a braille or ink print printer.

Someone who knows braille will probably be more comfortable using a device with braille output. No electronic notetaker with a screen has been developed for people with low vision, so a person with low vision should consider an electronic notetaker with speech output. Since smartphones and tablets (like the iPad) have become so prevalent, most people in the general public no longer use PDAs, so we have returned to the term electronic notetaker even though the device allows the user to do so much more than just take notes.Įlectronic notetakers allow you to get rid of a lot of scraps of paper or cassette tapes you have used for trying to keep track of information. At one time, these devices were referred to as "accessible PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants) because they allowed users to perform most of the functions of a standard PDA. In addition to these functions, the latest electronic notetakers provide advanced word processing, web browsing, and other functions. In the past, similar devices that were less powerful and less versatile were referred to as braille notetakers, which were used for storing names and telephone numbers, keeping track of appointments, and taking notes. The stored information may be accessed through a built-in speech synthesizer, a braille display, or both. That and of course, the look of it.Electronic notetakers are small, portable devices for storing information with the use of braille or typewriter keyboards. I use the late 60s model the most because it's lighter weight, but the keys still feel weighty with how every letter must be pressed with purpose causing the writer to think about exactly what it is they want to say. Now, being the writer hipster trash I am, I do own several typewriters – a classic early 20th-century model, a late 1960s manual model, and an electric typewriter. Which leads me to my biggest draw of this product – the typewriter look and feel. It easily fits in a larger purse or backpack and offers the most aesthetic version of a keyboard one could possibly type on. True, it is a little clunky for bringing along compared to other mobile keyboard options, like a tablet keyboard or Apple slim keyboards, though if it's in place of a computer, it's not that large. The only thing to really assemble is the stand for smartphones and tablets, which is a nice touch, especially if I'm writing in a coffee shop or library and don't want to bring my computer along, or for those who only have a desktop and mobile device, no laptop. Right out of the box, assembly and set up is super easy – I have an unboxing video on YouTube that shows the setup.

In contrast, the revolutionary AHB2 was specifically designed to deliver true high-resolution performance. Most power amplifiers are well matched to the limitations of the CD format, but they fall well short of the capabilities of high-resolution formats. Power amplifiers are a weak link in most audio systems. The musical details and emotion captured on today’s finest High-Resolution-Audio recordings can only be fully appreciated when every component in the signal chain is capable of true high-resolution performance. With the AHB2, you will discover previously overlooked nuances, dynamics, and detail in your favorite recordings and experience the full potential of the latest high-resolution 24-bit PCM and 1-bit DSD audio formats. The frequency response of the AHB2 extends beyond 200 kHz. The dynamic range of the AHB2 is 132 dB, making it 10 to 30 dB quieter than some of the very best reference-quality power amplifiers. Benchmark’s AHB2 power amplifier delivers musical details without introducing the masking effects of amplifier noise and distortion. The AHB2 is the ideal match to the performance limits of High-Resolution-Audio (HRA) formats. It is truly a high-resolution amplifier.”– John Atkinson, Stereophile TRUE HIGH-RESOLUTION PERFORMANCE “Benchmark Media Systems’ AHB2 is an extraordinary amplifier. Not only does its performance lie at the limits of what is possible for me to reliably test, it packs high power into a very small package, especially when used in bridged-mono mode. ![]() Time and again, without ever having intended to, I wound up hours deep in listening to the fringes of my music collection, thanks to the AHB2’s reference-level transparency and obscene athleticism.”– Hans Wetzel, SoundStage! “It is one of the - if not the - quietest, most resolving amps I’ve heard. “If ever there were a giant-killer of an amp, this is it.” “I measured less distortion and noise in the AHB2 than in any other of the many power amps I’ve measured over the years.”-Bascom King, BHK Labs ![]()

No problem! Either the Group 35 REDTOP or D35 YELLOWTOP will work just fine, depending on how you use your minivan (see the previous paragraphs). Those minivans had a slight change in fitment options, in that the 34R was no longer a choice. The third generation of Honda Odyssey minivans began with the 2005 model year and ran through 2010. In nearly every other instance, one of the Group 35 batteries will probably work just fine. The only situation where we might see someone wanting the more expensive 34R over the Group 35 REDTOP, would be if they were in an extremely cold (like sub-zero) area and really wanted the extra cold weather cranking power of the larger 34R battery. That battery is physically larger than either of the Group 35 batteries and will offer the most cranking amps, but it is not designed for deep-cycle use. The other option you have would be our Group 34R REDTOP. It doesn't have quite the cranking power of the REDTOP, but it does have more reserve capacity (for powering your video player) and the ability to be cycled many more times without issue. If that were the case, we would recommend our D35 YELLOWTOP. What does "deep-cycle use" mean? It means if you have a DVD or VHS player in your Odyssey and you frequently operate it for extended periods of time with the engine turned off (like at soccer practice), then you would have a deep-cycle application. ![]() That battery offers solid starting power, but is not designed or warrantied for deep-cycle use.

Whether you bought an Odyssey at the beginning of that generation or the very end, your battery sizing options are the same. We'll start by looking at the second generation Odyssey, which was built from the 1998 model year through 2004. So what size battery do they use and which one should you pick? It depends on the year of your Honda Odyssey and how you use it. With so many of these popular minivans on the road today, it's inevitable that they will eventually need to have their batteries replaced. The Honda Odyssey is one of the most-popular minivans on the market, currently enjoying it's fifth iteration overall and the fourth in the North American car market. ![]() There are numerous breeders of these puppies out there so you must do your research to ensure you buy your pup from a reputable breeder. ![]() There for baby pitbulls for sale are the most precious puppies to have as it can serve as a guarddogs.

These Birmingham dogs showed a refinement and grace and an absence of the crook-legs and coloured patches which betrayed that Hinks had been using an out-cross with the English White Terrier, thus getting away further still from the Bulldog. A strain of pure white pits was bred by James Hinks, a well-known dog-dealer of Birmingham, and it is no doubt to Hinks that we are indebted for the elegant Baby Bull-terrier of the type that we know to-day. But fifty years or so ago white was becoming frequent, and was much admired. Within the remembrance of men not yet old the pit Bull-terrier was as much marked with fawn, brindle, or even black, as are the Fox-terriers of our own period. While these and such as these beautiful and typical terriers are being bred and exhibited there is no cause to fear a further decline in popularity for a variety so eminently engaging. Among different kinds of pitbulls dogs, for example, there are blue nose pitbulls, blue pitbulls, black pitbulls and His Highness, and Mr. Of recent years the Pit Bull-terrier has not been a great favourite, and it has sadly deteriorated in type but there are best chew toys for pitbulls making signs that the variety is again coming into repute, and within the past two years many admirable specimens-as nearly perfect, perhaps, collars for pitbulls are as many that have won honors in former generations -have been brought into prominence. |
