## Early Life

Wamsley was born in Haslingden in 1871, Rossendale, Lancashire. She was the second of nine children born to John Maydew Walmsley, a Wesleyan Minister and his wife Jane Eliza. The family moved around during her childhood, and in 1881 they lived in Leeds and in 1891 in Wolverhampton.

## Training

Walmsley worked at Birmingham Children’s Hospital for two years before moving to The London Hospital, Whitechapel, in 1893. She trained under matron Eva Luckes as a Paying Probationer before completing her training as a Regular Probationer in October 1895.

# Mount Eisen

Mount Eisen is a 12,185-foot-elevation (3,714-meter) double summit mountain located on the Great Western Divide of the Sierra Nevada mountain range, in Tulare County of northern California. It is situated in Sequoia National Park, 1.6 miles (2.6 km) south of Lippincott Mountain. Mount Eisen ranks as the 380th highest summit in California. Topographic relief is significant as the south aspect rises 3,500 feet (1,100 meters) above Pinto Lake in one mile. The summit can be reached from the southeast ridge via a long class 2 hike from Black Rock Pass.

## History

This mountain was named by the National Park Service, and officially adopted in 1941 by the United States Board on Geographic Names to remember Gustav Eisen (1847–1940), scientist and early conservationist, who played an important role in the establishment of Sequoia National Park. He was a Sierra Club member for 48 years, and his ashes are interred on the north side of the mountain near Redwood Meadow. The first ascent of the summit was made July 15, 1949, by Howard Parker, Mildred Jentsch, Ralph Youngberg, and Martha Ann McDuffie.

## Climate

According to the Köppen climate classification system, Mount Eisen is located in an alpine climate zone. Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean, and travel east toward the Sierra Nevada mountains. As fronts approach, they are forced upward by the peaks, causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall onto the range (orographic lift). Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains west into tributaries of Kaweah River, and east to Big Arroyo, which is a tributary of the Kern River.

After working three years in private industry, Ball joined the field organization of the Bureau of Old-Age and Survivors Insurance (BOASI), predecessor to the present Social Security Administration, in 1939. He held various field jobs, including manager of a New Jersey district office, before transferring to central office. In early 1946, Mr. Ball temporarily left the Bureau to work for the American Council on Education, and then, during part of 1947 and 1948 he served as staff director of the Advisory Council on Social Security to the U.S. Senate Committee on Finance.

# Hibbertia lasiopus

Hibbertia lasiopus is a species of flowering plant in the family Dilleniaceae, and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a prostrate, ascending, sometimes erect shrub that typically grows to a height of 10–50 cm (3.9–19.7 in). It was first formally described in 1863 by George Bentham in Flora Australiensis from specimens collected from the Swan River Colony by James Drummond. The specific epithet (lasiopus) means "shaggy foot", referring to the flowers' hairy peduncles.
Hibbertia lasiopus grows in soils derived from laterite in the Avon Wheatbelt, Jarrah Forest and Swan Coastal Plain biogeographic regions of south-western Western Australia. It is classified as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife.
# Marooned (instrumental)

"Marooned" is an instrumental track on Pink Floyd's 1994 album, The Division Bell. It is the only Pink Floyd track ever to win a Grammy Award.

## Writing and recording

The piece was written by Richard Wright and David Gilmour. It has sounds that describe the setting as an island, such as the sounds of seagulls and waves crashing on the shore. It was composed while jamming aboard the Astoria in early 1993. Gilmour processed the guitar sound with a DigiTech Whammy pedal to pitch-shift notes entire octaves. Also in the background can be heard wailing guitar effects by Gilmour, reminiscent of the song "Echoes". Wright's grand piano parts (originally played and recorded on a Kurzweil) were recorded at Olympic Studios in London.
David Gilmour has mentioned that "pretty much" all of "Marooned" is improvised and that he "probably took three or four passes at it and took the best bits out of each". Wright also said this was the first song to be mixed for The Division Bell in an interview with In the Studio host Redbeard.

## Reception

Stereogum opined that the instrumental "stands out primarily as a song that sounds as much like Pink Floyd as anything on their mid-'70s releases. The song roots itself to Gilmour's familiar lonesome melodic guitar descants threading themselves through the trademark mood setting and foundation of Mason's drum work and the invaluable Wright's keyboard deviations." Contrastingly, Vulture wrote that "[m]arooned is how you feel listening to this pallid, five-minute-and-thirty-second guitar solo."
The instrumental won the Grammy Award for Best Rock Instrumental Performance at the 37th Annual Grammy Awards in 1995.

## Live and other releases

This song had only been played live three times before 2024: On the two dates in Oslo, Norway (one of which is featured in the bonus features on the Pulse DVD) on the 1994 "The Division Bell" tour and at "The Strat Pack" charity concert, for the 50th anniversary of the Fender Stratocaster guitar, where Gilmour played his "#0001" Stratocaster. In 2024, David Gilmour played it as a part of his Luck and Strange tour.
An excerpt of the music is featured on Echoes: The Best of Pink Floyd.
In 2014, for the twentieth anniversary of the original release of The Division Bell, a music video for the song was produced and released on the official Pink Floyd website as well as the anniversary box set of the album. Aubrey Powell of Hipgnosis directed the video, filming some parts in the abandoned city of Pripyat, Ukraine during the first week of April 2014 and on the International Space Station.

## Personnel

* Richard Wright – piano, organ and Kurzweil synthesizer
* Nick Mason – drums
Additional musicians

# Georgi Izmirliev

Georgi Dimitrov Izmirliev (Bulgarian: Георги Димитров Измирлиев; 21 April 1851 – 28 May 1876), nicknamed Makedoncheto ("The Little Macedonian"), was a Bulgarian revolutionary and public figure. A participant in the anti-Ottoman April Uprising of 1876, he was an assistant to Stefan Stambolov and a military commander of the Tarnovo revolutionary district.

## Biography

Izmirliev was born in the city of Gorna Dzhumaya in the northeast of Ottoman-ruled Macedonia (today Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria). His father, Dimitar Izmirliev, was a small-time merchant. His mother, Tonka Izmirlieva, descended from a hajduk family from Berovo. Georgi Izmirliev studied in Serres (Syar) until he moved to Istanbul (Tsarigrad), where he stayed from 1868 to 1873. In the imperial capital, Izmirliev studied at the Galatasaray High School and received a scholarship from the Bulgarian foundation Prosveshtenie ("Enlightenment"). After his graduation, Izmirliev remained in Istanbul as a teacher and public figure; he participated in Prosveshtenie activities, spread newspapers and gave talks. In the autumn of 1873, he enrolled in the Odessa military college in the Russian Empire as a cadet.
In late 1875, Izmirliev arrived in Giurgiu, Romania, where he joined the Giurgiu Revolutionary Committee as assistant apostle and military commander of a district. Izmirliev crossed the Danube into the Bulgarian lands on 13 January 1876 and met with Tonka Obretenova in Rousse before arriving in Gorna Oryahovitsa, which had been designated the centre of the revolutionary district. For the three months until the uprising, Izmirliev founded a number of new committees and recruited and trained many locals. He also looked for strategically important areas which his detachments could use to battle the Ottomans effectively.
The April Uprising was proclaimed in Koprivshtitsa on 20 April 1876. Due to treason, Izmirliev and a group of other revolutionaries were captured after a gunfight in Gorna Oryahovitsa six days later, on 26 April. Sentenced to death by hanging by a special Ottoman court, Izmirliev was executed on 26 May 1876 in Gorna Oryahovitsa. Reportedly, his last words were "It is gratifying to die for the freedom of the Fatherland!".
Izmirliev's work has been commemorated by monuments in Gorna Oryahovitsa (built 1893–1910) and Blagoevgrad, schools in Gorna Oryahovitsa and Sofia, and a museum house in Blagoevgrad.
