Barbadian Dollar
The dollar has been the currency of Barbados since 1935. Globally its currency has the ISO 4217 code ''BBD'', however, unofficially in Barbados the International vehicle registration code code BDS is also commonly used, a currency code that is otherwise reserved for Bangladesh (ISO 3166-1 country code ''BD'') outside Barbados. As such the present dollar has the ISO 4217 code ''BBD''. The Barbadian dollar is divided into 100 cents. History The history of currency in the former British colony of Barbados closely follows that of British Eastern Caribbean territories in general. Even though Queen Anne's proclamation of 1704 introduced the pound sterling currency system to the West Indies, silver pieces of eight (Spanish dollars and later Mexican dollars) continued to form a major portion of the circulating currency right into the latter half of the nineteenth century. Britain adopted the gold standard in 1821 and an imperial order-in-council of 1838 resulted in Barbados formally ad ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

BBD (album)
''BBD'' is the third studio album by American R&B group Bell Biv DeVoe, released in December 2001 through Biv 10 and Universal Records. It's the group's first recording since 1993's ''Hootie Mack''. Critical reception Jason Birchmeier from AllMusic said that despite some decent production, he was put off by the misogynistic slant in the group's brag and floss content, calling it "too harsh and too direct to be sexy too one-dimensional to appeal to anyone who is disinterested in hearing three guys channel their frustrations towards submissive, generic women with no voice." He concluded that, " 's perhaps ironic that BBD's comeback album showcases precisely why the general public stopped caring about these guys in the first place. These guys went from " Candy Girl" to "Dance Bitch" and wonder why the masses grew weary." Barry Walters, writing for ''Vibe'', felt the record "sounds more like contract fulfilment than musical inspiration", pointing out the lewd material that was i ...

Be-Bop Deluxe
Be-Bop Deluxe were an English rock band who achieved critical acclaim and moderate commercial success during the mid to late 1970s. History Be-Bop Deluxe Be-Bop Deluxe was founded in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, England, by singer, guitarist and principal songwriter Bill Nelson in 1972. The founding line-up consisted of Nelson, guitarist Ian Parkin, bassist and vocalist Robert Bryan, drummer Nicholas Chatterton-Dew, and keyboardist Richard Brown (who left in December of that year). They started off playing the West Yorkshire pub scene, with one regular venue being the Staging Post in Whinmoor, Leeds. They never played bebop music, but instead came out of the blues-based British rock scene of the late 1960s. At first they were compared to the more successful David Bowie, but Nelson never tried to copy Bowie, and appears to have disliked comparisons or being pigeon-holed. After signing to EMI's Harvest Records subsidiary, the initial line-up of the band only lasted for one al ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Big Black Delta
Big Black Delta is a solo project of Mellowdrone vocalist/bassist Jonathan Bates. History Bates began the project in 2010 after becoming frustrated with the logistics of a band.

Remixes of songs from the album have since come from Jimmy Edgar, John Tejada, Azari & III and Martyn. The video for "Side of the Road" was directed by Warren Kommers, inspired by Bates' love of astrophysics and astronomy. Big Black Delta has collaborate ...

Beech Bark Disease
Beech bark disease is a disease that causes mortality and defects in beech trees in the eastern United States, Canada and Europe.Houston, David R., and James T. O'Brien. "Beech Bark Disease."

In North America, the disease occurs after extensive bark invasion by '' Xylococculus betulae'' and the beech scale insect, '' Cryptococcus fagisuga''. Through a presently unknown mechanism, excessive feeding by this insect causes two different fungi (''Neonectria faginata'' (previously ''Nectria coccinea var. faginata'') and ''Neonectria ditissima'' (previously ''Nectria galligena'')) to produce annual cankers on the bark of the tree. The continuous formation of lesions around the tree eventually g ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
