The Pimería Alta was an area of the 18th century Sonora y Sinaloa Province in the Viceroyalty of New Spain, that encompassed parts of what are today southern Arizona in the United States and northern Sonora in Mexico. The area took its name from the Pima and related O'odham indigenous peoples residing in the Sonoran Desert. Pimería Alta was the site of the Spanish missions in the Sonoran Desert established by the Jesuit missionary Eusebio Kino in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. A significant Pima rebellion against Spanish rule occurred in 1751.

Edward East lived to a good age. There is no record of his death but his will was proved in February 1697. A large silver alarum clock-watch by Edward East, kept at the bedside of Charles I, was presented by the king on his way to execution at Whitehall, on 30 January 1649, to Sir Thomas Herbert. Among the collections of Alfred Morrison was a warrant, dated 23 June 1649, from the Committee of Public Revenue to Thomas Fauconbridge, Esq.

White City is a London Underground station on Wood Lane in White City, west London, England, on the Central line between Shepherds Bush and East Acton stations in Travelcard Zone 2. The station is in a deep brick-sided cutting - and is designed in a similar way to Harrow-on-the-Hill station; the station was opened on 23 November 1947. Its construction started after 1938 and had been scheduled for completion by 1940, but the Second World War delayed its opening for another seven years; the architectural design of the station won an award at the Festival of Britain and a commemorative plaque recording this is attached to the building to the left of the main entrance. An interesting feature of the station is that the line adopts right-hand running through the station rather than the conventional left-hand running; this is an historical consequence of the reversal of the tracks in the tunnels of the anti-clockwise loop track built for the now-disused Wood Lane station, situated a short distance to the south of White City, opened in 1908 as the western terminus of the Central London Railway.
The two tracks return to their normal left-hand orientation by a surface fly-over halfway between White City and East Acton stations. The station's running layout has three tracks, with the centre track having platforms on each side meaning that it can handle trains running in either direction. A siding between the running lines to the north of the station allows trains from Central London to be reversed and run back eastwards. Trains going out of service can return to the below-ground White City depot to the south of the station via sidings between the running lines; the nearby Wood Lane station on the Circle and Hammersmith & City lines provides an interchange between the lines. This station is directly opposite the BBC Television Centre and is within walking distance of Loftus Road, home of Queens Park Rangers F. C. and Westfield London. The station received a certificate of merit in the 2009 National Railway Heritage Awards, London Regional category, for the modernisation that took care to retain heritage and architectural features.
An earlier Wood Lane station on the Hammersmith & City line was located a short distance to the south and was known as White City from 23 November 1947 until its closure in 1959. London Buses routes 72, 95, 220, 228, 272 and 283 serve the station directly. White City bus station is a few minutes walk south of the station.
