# Angel City (album)

Angel City is an album by American jazz saxophonist Roscoe Mitchell which was recorded in 2012 and released on the French RogueArt label. Mitchell wrote the piece for the 2011 Angel City Jazz Festival in Los Angeles.

## Reception

The All About Jazz review by John Sharpe states "For those who make the effort Mitchell creates a raft of strange and mesmerizing soundscapes, but the journey may be too daunting for the casual listener."
The Point of Departure review by Michael Rosenstein says "In lesser hands, this could easily devolve into episodic dalliance. But, the three maintain a collective focus throughout."

# Autovía LZ-3

LZ-3 is an autovía (a type of highway in Spain) located on the island of Lanzarote in the Canary Islands. It serves as a ring road to the island's capital city, Arrecife.
Since Arrecife is a coastal city, the ring road does not complete a full circle. On the northern side, LZ-3 begins at a roundabout by the island's main port, Puerto de los Mármoles. On the southern side, LZ-3 ends at a junction with LZ-2, the main road leading to the south of the island. LZ-3 is also connected to LZ-1, the main road leading to the north of the island. Thus, the island's north-south axis is LZ-1–LZ-3–LZ-2, connecting the northernmost town, Órzola, to the southernmost town, Playa Blanca.
While most roads on the island are owned by the island council (cabildo insular), the entire north-south axis, including LZ-3, is owned by the Government of the Canary Islands.

# Emil Cohen

Emil Wilhelm Cohen (12 October 1842 – 13 April 1905) was a German mineralogist and petrographer, born in Jutland.

## Professional life

Cohen studied at the universities of Berlin and Heidelberg and from 1867 to 1872 was a mineralogy assistant in the latter. He then spent 18 months in South Africa, where he studied diamond and gold deposits.
Cohen devoted his following years to mineralogy and drafting descriptions of his African explorations. Through his Sammlung von Mikrophotographien zur Veranschaulichung der mikroskopischen Structur von Mineralien und Gesteinen] (1881–83; "Collection of Microphotographs on the microscopic Structure of Minerals and Rocks"), he founded modern petrography.
In 1878 Cohen became professor of petrography at Strasbourg and Director of the Geological Survey for Alsace and Lorraine. In 1885 he was made professor of mineralogy at the University of Greifswald. There he started work on meteorites, one of the first mineralogists to describe the petrography of iron meteorites and their accessory minerals. Beside detecting diamonds, he isolated and analyzed an iron carbide mineral there, later named Cohenite for him.

## History

This area has firstly been settled by the Hittites in ancient times. During the Middle Ages, Alucra was the part of the Byzantine Empire, disrupted by the Arab armies of the Abbasid caliphate.
Turks first came to the area in their 11th century movement into Anatolia from their homeland in Central Asia following their defeat of the Byzantines at the Battle of Malazgirt. From 1054 this area was settled by the Kipchak Turks from southern Russia, who moved into the area along the Black Sea coast, under the loose authority of the Seljuk Turks. The Seljuks assumed direct control by defeating the Mengujekids in 1228, but their rule came to an end with their defeat by the Mongol hordes at Kösedağ in 1243.
The Anatolian beyliks remerged despite the growth of the Ottoman Empire until the area was brought into Ottoman in 1473 with the defeat of Uzun Hasan by Sultan Mehmet II at the battle of Otlukbeli.
