Generally, if $M$ is a mean of $a$ and $b$, then $M_{p}$ is also, and call \"power-type mean\". We prove the power-type means $P_{p}$, $T_{p}$, $N_{p}$, $Z_{p}$ are increasing in $p$ on $\\mathbb{R}$ and establish sharp inequalities among power-type means $A_{p}$, $He_{p}$, $L_{p}$, $I_{p}$, $P_{p}$, $N_{p}$, $Z_{p}$, $Y_{p}$% . From this a very nice chain of inequalities for these means L_{2}
