# Pedro Simón

Fray Pedro Simón (San Lorenzo de la Parrilla, Spain, 1574 - Ubaté, New Kingdom of Granada, ca. 1628) was a Spanish Franciscan friar, professor and chronicler of the indigenous peoples of modern-day Colombia and Venezuela, at the time forming the New Kingdom of Granada. Pedro Simón is one of the most important Muisca scholars whose writings were the basis for later scholars such as Lucas Fernández de Piedrahita, Alexander von Humboldt, and twenty first-century scholar Javier Ocampo López.

## Biography

Pedro Simón studied in Cartagena, Spain and went to Cartagena de Indias in 1603. Simón accompanied Juan de Borja and described his war against the Pijao in 1608. On 3 June 1623, he was named Custodio de la Provincia Franciscana del Nuevo Reino de Granada ("custodian of the franciscan province of the New Kingdom of Granada").
In this year he began writing his most notable work Noticias historiales de las conquistas de Tierra Firme en las Indias Occidentales, of which the initial section was published in Cuenca, Spain in 1627. The full text appeared for the first time in five volumes in post-independence Bogotá in 1882–1892. Later editions are dated 1953, 1963 and 1982. In the nineteenth century, one part was published in English translation under the title The Expedition of Pedro de Ursua and Lope de Aguirre (London, 1861). After finishing this work, Simón settled in the San Diego convent in Ubaté, Cundinamarca, where he died sometime between October 1626 and May 7, 1628.

# Metropolitan Commission of Sewers

The Metropolitan Commission of Sewers was one of London's first steps towards bringing its sewer and drainage infrastructure under the control of a single public body. It was absorbed by the Metropolitan Board of Works on 1 January 1856.

## Formation

The commission was formed by the Metropolitan Commission of Sewers Act 1848 (11 & 12 Vict. c. 112), partly in response to public health concerns following serious outbreaks of cholera. The commission's mandate was renewed and amended with supplementary acts:
* Metropolitan Sewers Act 1851 (14 & 15 Vict. c. 75)
* Metropolitan Sewers Act 1852 (15 & 16 Vict. c. 64)
* Metropolitan Sewers Act 1853 (16 & 17 Vict. c. 125)
* Metropolitan Sewers Act 1854 (17 & 18 Vict. c. 111)
* Metropolitan Sewers Act 1855 (18 & 19 Vict. c. 30)
Commissioners included Sir Edwin Chadwick, Robert Stephenson and Thomas Field Gibson.
The new body combined eight local boards of commissioners that had been established by earlier acts of Parliament:
* Tower Hamlets Commission of Sewers
* St Katherine's Commission of Sewers
* Poplar and Blackwall Commission of Sewers
* Holborn and Finsbury Commission of Sewers
* Westminster and Middlesex Commission of Sewers
* Surrey and Kent Commission of Sewers
* Greenwich Commission of Sewers
* Commissioners of the Regent's Park Sewers
The area covered by the Metropolitan Commission was defined as the City and Liberties of Westminster, the borough of Southwark, the areas of the previous commissioners and "any such other place in the Counties of Middlesex, Surrey, Essex and Kent or any of them, being not more than twelve miles distant in a straight line from St. Paul's Cathedral, but not being in the City of London or the liberties thereof". No area was to be exempt from the commission's jurisdiction by virtue of being extra-parochial or beyond the ebb or flow of the tide. The headquarters of the commission were at 1 Greek Street, Soho.
The City of London was excluded as it had its own Commission of Sewers dating back to 1669.

## Activities

The commission surveyed London's antiquated sewerage system and set about ridding the capital of an estimated 200,000 cesspits, insisting that all cesspits should be closed and that house drains should connect to sewers and empty into the Thames (ultimately, a major contributing factor to "The Great Stink" of 1858).
The commission was notable in that it employed Joseph Bazalgette, first as assistant surveyor (from 1849), taking over as engineer in 1852 after his predecessor died of "harassing fatigues and anxieties". Bazalgette was then appointed chief engineer of the commission's successor, the Metropolitan Board of Works in 1856, and by the end of the decade after "The Great Stink" – his proposals to modernise the London sewerage system were being implemented.

### Chairmen

* Viscount Ebrington (1 January 1849 – 6 October 1851)
* Edward Lawes (6 October 1851 – 24 July 1852)
* Richard Jebb (24 July 1852 – 1 January 1856)

# Eleazar Albin

Eleazar Albin (fl. 1690 – c. 1742) was an English naturalist and watercolourist illustrator who wrote and illustrated a number of books including A Natural History of English Insects (1720), A Natural History of Birds (1731–38) and A Natural History of Spiders and other Curious Insects (1736). He has been described as one of the "great entomological book illustrators of the 18th century".

## Biography

Nothing is known of Albin's early life, though he may have been German-born; he claimed to have been in Jamaica in 1701. In 1708 he is known to have been married and living in Piccadilly, London. According to autobiographical details in A Natural History of English Insects, Albin taught watercolour painting before being instructed in natural history by silk weaver and naturalist Joseph Dandridge.
A Natural History of Birds has coloured engravings by Albin and his daughter Elizabeth Albin. In that book Albin writes "As for the paintings, they are all done from life, with all the exactness I could either with my own hand, or my daughters, whom I have taught to draw and paint after the life".
In his work on birds he describes the wood-crow (northern bald ibis) from a stuffed specimen, being probably the last description of this bird made while the species was still extant in Europe.

## Reception

Professional ratings :

| Source | Rating |
| AllMusic | |
| The Penguin Guide to Jazz | |
| The Virgin Encyclopedia of Jazz | |
In a review for AllMusic, Richard S. Ginell noted the album's "sleek, absorbing sound," and stated that, in comparison with Message from Home, "the ambience is mellower, the spirituality less fierce." He wrote: "Though the African percussive element is still present, it now takes a back seat to subtle layered electronics and influences from India and the Middle East, and the huge, passionate Pharoah sound of old is mostly toned-down and recessed."
Willard Jenkins, writing for Jazz Times, commented: "From the opening bars it's clear this is more about Bill Laswell's vision than Pharoah Sanders... If you could ever imagine Pharoah Sanders on smooth jazz radio, this might be the track. Come back Pharoah, and leave Laswell to lesser lights."
Joshua Klein of The A.V. Club remarked: "Save Our Children isn't the fiery free-jazz salvo of which [Sanders is] still capable; instead, the record is another eclectic hybrid that stays closely in sync with Laswell's one-world style... There's a sense of drifting peace cast over Save Our Children that often veers close to New Age, but as the harmoniums hum with Sanders on the meditative 'Kazuko,' it's hard to complain."

# Primm Valley Resorts

Primm Valley Casino Resorts (formerly known as Primadonna Casino Resorts) is a group of three hotel-casinos in Primm, Nevada, along Interstate 15 at the California state line. They are owned and operated by Affinity Gaming. It is named after the Primm family, benefactors of the hotel and casino properties by Ernest and Gary Primm.
The hotels are a popular stop on the drive between Las Vegas and California.
The various hotels are connected across I-15 by both a monorail and a defunct amusement train line that was connected with Buffalo Bill's and Whiskey Pete's.

## History

The hotels were built by Gary Primm and the Primm family at State Line, Nevada, the informal name for the area. The family's history in the area is the reason why it received the official name of Primm.
Whiskey Pete's was the first of their hotels. The Primadonna Resort was the second hotel built, and it was later renamed as the Primm Valley Resort. These two hotels were connected by a single-car monorail that rain across the I-15.
Buffalo Bill's was the third hotel built. Buffalo Bill's and Primm Valley Resort were connected by a monorail.
The company acquired an option to buy an 18-acre site on the Las Vegas Strip. Gary Primm of Primadonna Resorts approached MGM Grand Inc. president Bob Maxey in 1994 with an idea for the site: a casino recreating the New York skyline. A joint venture was formed between the two companies, and construction began in March 1995. Completed at a cost of $460 million, the New York-New York Hotel and Casino opened in January 1997.
The Las Vegas Outlet Mall was added as a part of the Primadonna Resort in 1998.
On March 1, 1999, MGM Grand Inc. acquired Primadonna Resorts in an all-stock transaction that had been announced on November 9, 1998.
Since the initiation of New York-New York, analysts had speculated that MGM Grand or Primadonna would buy out the other's interest in the project. Instead of making such a cash-intensive purchase, however, MGM agreed to buy Primadonna outright for $276 million in stock plus $336 million in assumed debt. The merger closed in March 1999, giving MGM ownership of three casinos and two golf courses at the Nevada–California state line, in addition to full control of New York-New York.
On October 31, 2006, MGM announced plans to sell Primm Valley Resorts to Herbst Gaming for $400 million. The proposed sale would not include the Primm Valley Golf Club. The sale closed on April 10, 2007.

# Rose Girone

Rose Girone (January 13, 1912 – February 24, 2025) was a Polish-born American supercentenarian. She was believed to be the oldest living Holocaust survivor at the time of her death.

## Early life

Girone was born Rose Raubvogel on January 13, 1912, in Janów, Austrian Poland (now Ivano-Frankove, Ukraine after post-war border changes). The family moved to Hamburg where they operated a theatrical costume shop. While in Hamburg, she learned to knit from an aunt.
In 1938, she married Julius Mannheim before moving to Breslau. Shortly after relocation, the Nazis launched Kristallnacht, and Mannheim was sent to the Buchenwald concentration camp. In 1939, with the help of a cousin, Girone acquired a visa to flee to Shanghai, China, and Mannheim was released under the condition that they would leave the country. During their time in China, Girone gave birth to her first daughter. She sold knitted wear and Mannheim worked as a taxi driver.

## Life in the United States

In 1947, the family was granted a visa for the United States, travelling first to San Francisco before settling in Queens, New York. There, she reunited with her mother, brother, and grandmother. The family moved into a hotel as part of a refugee resettlement program. Girone began working as a knitting instructor.
Following her divorce from Mannheim, Rose married Jack Girone in 1968, and the two moved to Whitestone, Queens and opening a knitting shop in Rego Park, with a second following in Forest Hills. Girone sold her knitting business in 1980, at age 68, but continued to volunteer at a nonprofit knitting shop in Great Neck and later worked at a knitting shop in Port Washington. She retired in 2017, at age 105.
Girone died at a nursing home in Bellmore, New York, on February 24, 2025, at the age of 113 years and 42 days.
