# Environments 3

**Environments 3** is the third in The Future Sound of London's *"Environments"* series of albums, released on 7 June 2010. Unlike previous FSOLDigital releases, the album was not made available as a download several months before the CD release. Because of this, the record was heard several weeks in advance due to early shipping from the website Juno. The record sleeve announced a fourth album in the series.

## The album

Continuing from the previous volumes in the series, Environments 3 begins in a neoclassical, ambient vein, but instead of the epic sound of *Environments 2*, takes the music in a darker, more insular direction, reflecting the sounds of the band's 1996 album *Dead Cities*, from which elements of some tracks are derived. However, the album remains somber and ambient for the most part.

## Track listing

1. "Viewed from an Obscure Angle" (3:10)
2. "Summer's Dream" (4:16)
3. "Sunken Ships" (3:40)
4. "The Empty Land" (5:40)
5. "A Glitch in Cellular Memory" (3:21)

# Georgia State Route 138

**State Route 138** (**SR 138**) is a 59.2-mile (95.3 km) state highway in the northwestern part of the U.S. state of Georgia. The highway is a west-to-east route that travels within portions of Fulton, Fayette, Clayton, Henry, Rockdale, Newton, and Walton counties that connects Fairburn and Monroe, while bypassing Atlanta.

## Route description

SR 138 begins at an intersection with SR 92 (West Campbellton Street) in Fairburn, within Fulton County. In town, it heads southeast to US 29/SR 14 (Roosevelt Highway). It continues southeasterly to an interchange with Interstate 85 (I-85; James D. "Jim" McGee Memorial Highway) in Union City. Farther to the southeast is SR 279 (Old National Highway), just prior to reaching the tripoint that is the meeting point of Fulton, Fayette, and Clayton counties. It runs along the Fayette–Clayton county line for a short while. During that stretch, it intersects SR 314 (West Fayetteville Road). After entering Clayton County proper, it meets SR 85 in Riverdale. Northwest of Jonesboro is an intersection with SR 138 Spur (North Avenue), which is part of the former route of the SR 138 mainline through town. SR 138 now passes north of most of the town. Just to the northwest of SR 138 Spur is US 19/US 41/SR 3/SR 54 (Tara Boulevard). At this intersection, SR 54 runs concurrent to the east for about 1 mile (1.6 km). On the northeastern edge of town, SR 54 splits off to the northeast on Jonesboro Road, and SR 138 curves to the southeast to meet is second intersection with SR 138 Spur (Stockbridge Road/Lake Spivey Parkway). Just before crossing into Henry County, SR 138 enters Stockbridge. In town, it has an interchange with I-75. The road re-enters Clayton County and slips out of the city limits for about 1 mile (1.6 km). It has an interchange with I-675 (Terrell Starr Parkway), during that stretch. After re-entering both Henry County and Stockbridge's city limits, the road meets US 23/SR 42 (North Henry Boulevard). The three routes head concurrent to the east, until just outside the city. After the concurrency ends, SR 138 heads northeast to an intersection with SR 155 (Snapfinger Road), just before entering Rockdale County. The road crosses over the South River and intersects SR 212 (Scott Highway). In Conyers, SR 138 meets SR 20 (McDonough Highway). The two routes run concurrently to the north and northeast through town, with an interchange with I-20/US 278/SR 12 (Purple Heart Highway), until SR 20 heads northwest on Sigman Road NE and SR 138 continues to the northeast in the northeastern part of town. The highway crosses over the Yellow River and cuts across the northernmost corner of Newton County, before entering Walton County. Shortly after the county line is Walnut Grove, where SR 81 (Leone Avenue) runs through. SR 138 continues to the northeast and enters Monroe. In town, is an intersection with SR 10 Business (West Spring Street). It then meets at an interchange with US 78/SR 10. It then finally meets its eastern terminus a fifth of a mile north of the previous interchange. The roadway continues northeast for a mile as Charlotte Rowell Boulevard to Georgia State Route 11 in Monroe.

All of SR 138 from I-85 to I-20 is part of the National Highway System, a system of roadways important to the nation's economy, defense, and mobility.

## History

An old portion of SR 138 with a steel truss bridge crossing the Alcovy River in Walton County still exists on privately owned property.

| Location | Jonesboro, Georgia |

**State Route 138 Spur** (**SR 138 Spur**) is a very short spur route, about 0.5 miles (0.80 km) in length, in Jonesboro that connects the SR 138 mainline with US 19/US 41/SR 3/SR 54 (Tara Boulevard). Until the early 1990s, it was part of SR 138 proper, which ran through downtown Jonesboro at the time. Around that time, a new bypass was built around the north side of the city. It initially received the designation SR 138 Spur; however, once the bypass was completed, the SR 138 and SR 138 Spur designations were swapped and the new SR 138 Spur truncated to Tara Boulevard on the west side of Jonesboro. Some street signs on the northern bypass, now the SR 138 mainline, still incorrectly refer to the road as "Spur 138".

## Mascot

Tundra is the official mascot of the Palm Springs Chill. During the 2012 California Winter League baseball season the Palm Springs Chill started to become very popular in the Palm Springs area. Due to the success of the Palm Springs Power college baseball team in the summer the revenue in the California Winter League was at an all-time high in 2012. The Palm Springs Chill are filled with Independent level players who usually have the same talent level as low minor league players. They have a roster full of signed players such as Jacob Taylor, Jimmy Waters, and Miles Walding who is an Arizona Diamondback minor league signed player, 29-year-old star outfielder Derrick Pyles who played for the New York Federals in 2011 after he finished college at Embry-Riddle University in Florida is also a big reason for the Chill success. The Chill are managed by Ricky Vanasselberg as of 2012. Ricky is also manager of the Grand Prairie Air Hogs who compete in the American Association of Independent Baseball which is Double A level baseball players and ex major league players trying to stay in the game as long as possible. The Chill usually are made up of former college baseball players with talent to sign professional contracts after the season. The team finished 13 and 6 during the 2012 California Winter League season and were California Winter League runner up finishers after losing to the Palm Springs Power 7 to 5 in the Championship game in front of 2,500 fans at Palm Springs Stadium.

title: Palmyra Tariff

abstract: The Palmyra Tariff is an ancient bilingual limestone inscription discovered in Palmyra, Syria. Dating to the 2nd century CE, the inscription provides valuable insights into the economic and political structure of the city and the wider Roman Empire. It is the longest lapidary Aramaic inscription ever found. It was discovered in 1881 by Semyon Abamelek-Lazarev, and in 1901 was gifted by the Ottoman Sultan Abdul Hamid II to Tsar Nicholas II and is now in the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg. Historian John Matthews described the tariff as "one of the most important single items of evidence for the economic life of any part of the Roman Empire". The inscription is known as PAT 0259, CIS II 3913, NSI 147 and TSSI IV 37.

The inscription is known as PAT 0259, CIS II 3913, NSI 147 and TSSI IV 37.

## Economic Regulation

The primary focus of the Palmyra Tariff Inscription is to outline the tariffs and duties imposed on a range of goods and commodities passing through Palmyra. These tariff rates were established to regulate trade and generate essential revenue for the city. The detailed information on specific tariffs offers a comprehensive view of the economic activities that contributed to Palmyra's prosperity.

The inscription also enumerates the names of officials responsible for overseeing trade matters. This provides valuable insights into the administrative structure of Palmyra during the period.

title: Palazzo Bartolini-Torrigiani

abstract: The Palazzo Bartolini-Torrigiani is a palace located between Via Porta Rossa and Via delle Terme, in the city block just west of Piazza Santa Trinita that includes the Palazzo Bartolini Salimbeni, in the center of the city of Florence, region of Tuscany, Italy. This portion of the block includes the medieval Torre dei Monaldi, also known as della Rognosa, rising along Via Porta Rossa. Buildings here had been present since the 13th century, owned by the Spini and Scali families. By 1369, the property around the tower, named for the Monaldi family, became property of Costanza del Mula Soldanieri, wife of Neri di Lapo, nel 1369. An inn, known as the Albergho di Porta Rossa or Locanda del Cammello was located here in 1386. In 1477, Bartolomeo Bartolini bought these buildings, including the tower. The Bartolini had owned property in this sector since 1348. They progressively extended their holdings till by the 16th century they owned nearly the entire city block. The best known construction for the family here was the palace on Piazza Santa Trinita. By the mid-16th century, the property here was sold to the Dati, then in 1559 to the Torrigiani, whose descendants still own the property, now occupied by the Hotel Porta Rossa. The building has undergone various refurbishments and reconstructions over the centuries.

# Yangjiang Nuclear Power Station

The **Yangjiang Nuclear Power Station** (**YNPS**; simplified Chinese: 阳江核电站; traditional Chinese: 陽冮核電站; pinyin: *Yángjiāng Hédiànzhàn*) is a nuclear power plant in Guangdong province, China. The site is Dongping Town, Yangjiang City in western Guangdong Province. The station has six 1,000 megawatt (MW) CPR-1000 pressurized water reactors (PWRs). The plant began commercial operation in March 2014, and as of 2019 is the largest nuclear power station in China.

## History

The site in Yangjiang was selected for nuclear development in 1988. The project was approved in 2004.

The plant was originally to be one of the first in China to host Generation III reactors — specifically AP1000 reactors. In 2007 however, plans were revised from the AP1000 design to EPR design. Later in 2007 these plans were again revised, with the EPR designs to be realized at Taishan, and the established CPR-1000 reactor design (as already used at Ling Ao) selected for Yangjiang.

Ground was broken for the plant in February 2008; the first concrete for the first unit was poured on 16 December 2008. Construction of the fourth unit was to begin in March 2011, but was delayed by China's safety review in reaction to the nuclear catastrophe in Fukushima; the first concrete was poured in November 2012. The sixth unit began commercial operation in July 2019.

## Domestic development

The CPR-1000 is a PWR design developed by China from the Areva-designed PWRs at the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant. Yangjiang marks a step in the development of China's domestic nuclear industry. Shu Guogang, GM of China Guangdong Nuclear Power Project said, "We built 55 percent of Ling Ao Phase 2, 70 percent of Hongyanhe, 80 percent of Ningde and 90 percent of Yangjiang Station."

## ACPR-1000 reactor type

Yangjiang 5 is the first construction of an ACPR-1000 reactor, starting in September 2013. This design is an evolution to the Generation III level of the CPR-1000, and includes a core catcher and double containment as additional safety measures. Yangjiang 5 was the first Chinese reactor to have a domestically-developed digital control system.

title: Yahoo Time Capsule

abstract: The Yahoo! Time Capsule, a brainchild of Jonathan Harris, is a time capsule project by Yahoo! Inc. where users could contribute to a digital legacy of how life was in 2006. The Time Capsule was originally intended to be beamed with a laser into space from a Mexican pyramid in an attempt to communicate with extraterrestrial life. Open to contributions from October 10, 2006 to November 8, 2006, the Time Capsule also hoped to capture the thoughts and feelings of the world in 2006 as an exercise in electronic or "digital anthropology". At the time of the closing of the capsule, the total number of submissions was 170,857. The highest number of contributions (32,910) came from the 20–29 age group. Although originally slated to be produced at the Pyramid of the Sun in Teotihuacan, Mexico, Mexican authorities denied Yahoo! permission fearing damage to the ancient historical site. Instead, the 2006 Yahoo! Time Capsule culminated in a celebrated production on the Jemez Pueblo in New Mexico. The 18-hour live event spanned the evenings of October 25, 26, and 27th, and featured the projection of giant digital images of Time Capsule submissions onto an ancient red rock cliff on the reservation. Each night opened with traditional dancing and music by the people of Jemez Pueblo, set in front of the immense projections and lighting that could be seen for miles through the desert. Recordings of international folk music provided by Smithsonian Folkways Recordings accompanied the live global webcast. The Time Capsule event was designed and produced by environmental media artist Marc Herring, of Herring Media Group, Inc., and featured the projection and display engineering services of Quince Imaging, Inc. The Time Capsule closed on November 8, 2006, after which the digital collection of submissions was entrusted to Smithsonian Folkways Recordings based in Washington D.C., where it remained until Yahoo!'s 25th birthday in 2020. It is thought that the capsule represents one of the largest compilations of digital media of its kind in the world. In addition to being able to contribute text, audio, images, and videos, visitors could browse previously included entries, comment on them, or forward them. In return for submitting content to the Time Capsule, Yahoo! asked users to vote for one among a list of seven charities which received a portion of $100,000 from Yahoo! based upon the ratio of votes received by contributors. The charities were the World Wildlife Fund, the International Rescue Committee, the Grameen Foundation, UNICEF, One.org, Seeds of Peace, and the International Child Art Foundation. In February 2020, media commentators suggested that following Yahoo! Inc's decline as a company since 2006, there was some prospect that the Time Capsule would not actually be reopened in March 2020. On March 2, 2020, during an all company meeting, The Time Capsule was reopened.

# Yanagisawa Wind Instruments

**Yanagisawa Wind Instruments Co., Ltd.** is a Japanese woodwind instrument manufacturing company known for its range of professional grade saxophones. Along with Yamaha, they are one of the leading manufacturers of saxophones in Japan. The company currently manufactures sopranino, soprano, alto, tenor, and baritone saxophones

In the United States, Yanagisawa products are commercialized and distributed by Conn-Selmer, a subsidiary of Steinway Musical Instruments.

## History

The history of woodwind manufacturing in Japan has its origins in 1894 when Tokutaro Yanagisawa began repairing imported woodwinds for military band members. Tokutaro's repair shop soon evolved into an instrument factory—the first to build woodwind instruments on Japanese soil. Tokutaro's son Takanobu followed in his father's footsteps, choosing to pursue a career in the craft of instrument-making. Takanobu built his first prototype saxophone in 1951.

Starting in the late 1960s, Yanagisawa exported saxophones sold under various distributor's names, providing a large portion of the instruments sold under the Vito (Japan) brand and representing Leblanc's Martin brand for saxophones starting in 1971. In 1978, the 800 series models were introduced, which became the first Yanagisawa saxophones exported under Yanagisawa's own name.

In 1980, the 500 series was introduced for sale under other brands in the student/intermediate market. With the growth of Yanagisawa's reputation, interest in finding Yanagisawa instruments sold under other brands has become heightened in the used instrument market.

The Yanagisawa soprano saxophone designs became influential throughout rest of the industry, comparable to the influence of Selmer (Paris) and Yamaha saxophones in other ranges. Yanagisawa introduced innovations including detachable straight and curved necks and a high G key for its 990 series soprano saxophones.

**Product development timeline:**

**1954**

First tenor saxophone (the T-3 model) enters production.

**1956–1966**

Yanagisawa's 900- and 990-series soprano and baritone models are introduced. The first Silver Sonic model (9930 series) is unveiled in soprano, alto, tenor, and baritone ranges in Japan. Alto and tenor models are added to the 900 and 990 series, which later evolve into the 900μ and 990μ series.

**1999**

The A-9937 alto model with sterling silver neck, body, bow, and bell is announced.

## Production

The company is notable for making saxophones from materials other than standard brass (i.e., phosphor bronze and solid silver, and combinations thereof). Their first solid silver saxophone was produced in 1972 and instruments made from phosphor bronze began to be produced in 1992. The 8830 model alto and tenor saxophones, introduced in 1988, combined silver necks and bells with a brass body tube, reminiscent of the King "Silversonic" instruments. Similar combinations are offered in current production, as illustrated by Yanagisawa's 2015 range of alto saxophone offerings:

* AWO1 - made entirely from solid brass. The entry level professional saxophone from Yanagisawa.
* AWO1U - same as AWO1, but unlacquered
* AWO1B - same as AWO1, but black lacquered
* AWO1S - same as AWO1, but silver-plated
* AWO2 - made entirely from solid phosphor bronze (except keywork, which is brass)
* AWO2S - same as AWO2, but silver-plated
* AWO10 - made entirely from solid brass (underslung neck)
* AWO10U - made entirely from solid brass (underslung neck - unlacquered)
* AWO10S - same as AWO10, but plated with silver
* AWO10GP - same as AWO10, but gold-plated
* AWO10B - same as AWO10, but coated with black lacquer
* AWO20 - made entirely from solid phosphor bronze (except keywork, which is brass)
* AWO20U - same as AWO20, but unlacquered
* AWO20S - same as AWO20, but silver-plated
* AWO20PG - same as AWO20, but plated with "pink gold" (80% gold and 20% silver)
* AWO20GP - same as AWO20, but gold-plated
* AWO30 - solid silver crook and body with solid brass bell and bow
* AWO32J - solid silver crook and bell, solid phosphor bronze body and bow (designed exclusively for jazz, so no 'lyre' socket)
* AWO33 - solid silver neck and bell; solid brass body, bow, and crook
* AWO35 - solid silver neck, body, and bell; solid brass bow
* AWO37 - solid silver crook, body, bow, and bell
* AWO37PG - same as AWO37, but pink gold-plated
* AWO37GP - same as AWO37, but gold-plated

The permutations are increased by the fact that it is possible to buy a solid brass, silver, or bronze neck from Yanagisawa and fit it to any of the nine instruments listed above (e.g., adding a solid silver neck to the AWO10 or AWO20 or a phosphor bronze neck to the AWO10, AWO32J, or AWO37).

## Musicians

Professional saxophonists performing on Yanagisawa instruments include Gary Bartz, Jay Beckenstein, Plas Johnson, Ed Wynne, Steve Slagle, Peter King, Vincent Herring, Snake Davis, Greg Osby, Antonio Hart, Jean Denis Michat, Paul Corn (Composer of the Paul Corn Jazz Collective), Pascal Bonnet, Jess Gillam, David Pons, Jeroen Vanbever, and another classical and jazz players. Arno Bornkamp has performed occasionally with a Yanagisawa Soprano. Raaf Hekkema uses a Elimona Soprano as his standard instrument.
