# Patti Dahlstrom

Patti Dahlstrom is a singer, songwriter, and teacher. She recorded four albums in the 1970s and co-wrote the Helen Reddy hit "Emotion".

## Career

One of five children, Dahlstrom was born in Houston, Texas. She began writing songs before her teen years and dreamed of becoming a songwriter while reading the credits on album sleeves. In 1967, she moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in music. After three years she signed a contract with Jobete Music, a division of Motown, and was mentored by Berry Gordy. She began a songwriting relationship with Severin Browne, the brother of Jackson Browne. Her first album was released by Uni Records, while the next three were released by 20th Century Records. She wrote "Sending My Good Thoughts to You" with Artie Wayne and dedicated it to her friend Jim Croce, who died in a plane crash in 1973.
Her songs were recorded by Anne Murray ("Ain't No Way to Rise Above"), Cilla Black ("Running Out of World"), Helen Reddy ("Emotion"), Thelma Houston ("What If", "I'm Letting Go" and "I Never Did"), Michael Johnson ("Dialogue"), Captain & Tennille ("Feels Like More Than Dancing") Johnny Rivers ("Over the Line"), and Riders in the Sky ("Even Texas Isn't Big Enough Now"). Reddy's version of "Emotion" reached No. 22 on the pop music chart. The song was a translation of "Amoureuse" by Véronique Sanson.
Dahlstrom stopped recording music in the 1970s, citing exhaustion as the reason. Years later in an interview, Russ Regan said he was surprised that her albums hadn't been more popular. During the 1980s, she continued to write songs and learn photography. Returning to Texas in 1990, she taught songwriting at The Art Institute of Houston and became director of the department. In 2008 she moved to London to pursue a master's degree in writing. Three years later she moved to San José del Cabo, Mexico. A compilation of her music from the 1970s was released in 2010.

# Iceland Air Defence System

The Iceland Air Defence System (Icelandic: Íslenska loftvarnarkerfið) is a part of the Icelandic Coast Guard. It was founded in 1987 under the Radar Agency of the Icelandic Ministry for Foreign Affairs after an agreement between Iceland and the United States on the takeover by the Icelanders of the operation and maintenance of the radar stations of the Iceland Defense Force. Between 2009–2011, it was a part of the Icelandic Defence Agency (Varnarmálastofnun Íslands). It operates four radar complexes, a software and support facility as well as a command and report centre. As of 2008, it does not independently possess any offensive capabilities, but is primarily used instead to monitor air traffic and direct allied interceptors based out of country.
The four facilities are located at the four intercardinal points:
* H-1 Miðnesheiði in the Reykjanes peninsula (south-west)64°01′18.5″N 022°39′22.8″W﻿ / ﻿64.021806°N 22.656333°W﻿ / 64.021806; -22.656333﻿ (Miðnesheiði AS H-1)
* H-2 Gunnólfsvíkurfjall in the Langanes peninsula (nord-east)66°08′40.5″N 015°05′21″W﻿ / ﻿66.144583°N 15.08917°W﻿ / 66.144583; -15.08917﻿ (Gunnólfsvíkurfjall AS H-2A)
* H-3 Stokksnes near Höfn (south-east)64°14′26.7″N 014°57′45.9″W﻿ / ﻿64.240750°N 14.962750°W﻿ / 64.240750; -14.962750﻿ (Stokksnes AS H-1)
* H-4 Bolafjall close to Bolungarvík in the Westfjords peninsula (nord-west)66°10′40.4″N 023°19′41″W﻿ / ﻿66.177889°N 23.32806°W﻿ / 66.177889; -23.32806﻿ (Bolungarvík AS H-1)
Two older structures, H-2 (Heidharhofn 66°16′42.7″N 014°59′33.2″W﻿ / ﻿66.278528°N 14.992556°W﻿ / 66.278528; -14.992556﻿ (Bolungarvík AS H-1)) and H-4 (Straumnes), were erected by the US and NATO in the late 1950s but where closed few years later due to high operation costs. The new H-2 and H-4 where build almost three decades later.
According to the U.S. Department of State website (Office of Public Diplomacy, Iceland page, updated August 2008), the 2008 budget for the Government of Iceland is the first in the country's history to include funding for defence (US$8.2 million); the money is earmarked for support of cooperative defence activities, military exercises in Iceland, and maintenance of defence-related facilities. This funding is in addition to roughly US$12 million in new expenditures for the operation of the Iceland Air Defence System radar sites, which the United States handed over to Iceland on August 15, 2007. At the start of 2010 Iceland Air Defence reported having a force of 25 employees.
# Brower Park

Brower Park is a municipal park in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, New York City. It is located between Brooklyn Avenue to the west and Kingston Avenue to the east, and between St. Marks Avenue to the north and Park Place to the south. The T-shaped park encompasses roughly 4 acres (1.6 ha) and shares a square block with the Brooklyn Children's Museum and P.S. 289 George V Brower.

## History

The park, like the elementary school which occupies the same block, was named after George Vanderhoof Brower (c. 1839–1921), the Commissioner of Parks for the boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens from 1889 to 1894 and from 1898 to 1901. Previously known as Bedford Park, the park was renamed after Brower in 1921. After serving as an apprentice to a Pennsylvania judge, George Brower moved to Brooklyn in 1867 to practice law. He served as general appraiser of the Port of New York for four years before being appointed as Commissioner of Parks. Brower died in his home, at 1084 Park Place directly southeast of the park, in 1921.
The City of Brooklyn purchased what is now the southern portion of the park in 1892. A comfort station was erected in the park 1905, and a World War I memorial was dedicated there in 1919. The park was altered in 1936 by the addition of drinking fountains, benches, and a playground. A park improvement scheme in 1939 provided the park with a new grass lawn planted by boy scouts. These improvements were completed in 1941. Additional parkland was purchased in 1947. The George V. Brower School (P.S. 289) opened in 1958, and Prospect Place was closed between Brooklyn and Kingston Avenues, bringing together the northern and southern portions of the park. In the 1950s, a new playground and handball courts were constructed. A monarch butterfly garden was built in 2014 with the help of the Friends of Brower Park. The Shirley Chisholm Circle was dedicated in 2016. The paved, circular terrace along Kingston Avenue was named after Shirley Chisholm, an American politician, educator, and author who, in 1968, became the first African American woman elected to the United States Congress. Chisholm represented New York's 12th Congressional District for seven terms from 1969 to 1983.

## Facilities

Brower Park has basketball courts, bathrooms, fitness paths, handball courts, a playground, a skate park, and spray showers.

### Brower Park Skate Park

The Brower Park skate park opened September 10, 2011, the second concrete skatepark in Brooklyn. Eric Adams, who was State Senator at the time, approved the skate park. An organization led by Traci and Jay Johnson rallied for the park to be built. The park consists of handful of boxes/ledges, and a small ramp.

# Philippe Hamel

Philippe Hamel (October 12, 1884 – January 22, 1954) was a nationalist and progressive politician in Quebec, Canada.

## Background

He was born on October 12, 1884, in Quebec City. His father was Charles-Antoine-Auguste and his mother was Sophie Vallieres. His father was a doctor of medicine at Université Laval and his mothers occupation is unknown

## Member of the legislature

Hamel entered politics with the intention to achieve the nationalization of all privately owned electric companies. He first won a seat to the Legislative Assembly of Quebec as an Action libérale nationale candidate in the 1935 election in the district of Québec-Centre.
When his party merged with the Conservative Party of Quebec to form the Union Nationale, Hamel became one of Maurice Duplessis's most important campaign leaders. He was returned to office in the 1936 election and the Union Nationale won the election.

## Excluded from the Cabinet

After he secured his job as Premier, Duplessis kept many of the more progressive and independent-minded members of his party on the backbench. Therefore, Hamel was offered no portfolio. By 1937, he and colleagues René Chaloult, Oscar Drouin, Joseph-Ernest Grégoire and Adolphe Marcoux had left the Union Nationale. Hamel did not run for re-election in the 1939 election.

## Death

He died on January 22, 1954, at the age of 69 years old.

## Legacy

Hamel's main objective did not take place while he was in office. However, the government of Adélard Godbout bought the Montreal Light Heat & Power Co., which became Hydro-Québec, in 1944. Furthermore, nearly all privately owned electric corporations were nationalized and merged to Hydro-Québec in 1962–63, under the premiership of Jean Lesage.
# Riebeek West

Riebeek West (Afrikaans: Riebeek-Wes) is a small town situated about 75 km north-east of Cape Town and 5 km north of its twin town Riebeek Kasteel in the Swartland area of the Western Cape, South Africa.
The Riebeek Valley would have been known to indigenous Khoi people, but was first described by a party of Cape Dutch explorers under the leadership of Pieter Cruythoff in 1661. The mountain, Riebeeck's Kasteel Berg (Riebeeck's Castle Mountain) was named after then Cape commander Jan van Riebeeck by this expedition and the settlements along the eastern slope of the mountain later derived their names from it. In translation from Dutch to Afrikaans the letter c in Riebeeck was dropped. The first settlers arrived in the area in the early 18th century. Riebeek West was established as a parish of the Dutch Reformed Church in 1858.
Riebeek West was the birthplace of two successive South African prime ministers. General Jan Christiaan Smuts was born on the farm Bovenplaats, two km north of Riebeek West on 24 May 1870. He served two terms as prime minister, from 1920 to 1924 as head of the South African Party and again from 1939 to 1948 as head of the United Party. With the general election of 1948, Riebeek West became a political hotbed with the leaders of the two main contesting parties both being from the village. Daniel François Malan was born on the farm Allesverloren, which abuts the town on the southern side, on 22 May 1874. In 1948 his National Party defeated the incumbent United Party under Smuts and Malan became prime minister until 1954.
Today there is a cement factory on Bovenplaats, but the house in which Smuts grew up is preserved as a national monument. Allesverloren has become a renowned wine estate with a restaurant.
The Riebeek Valley is known for its wheat, wines, and more recently, olives. It is popular for tourism, arts and crafts, and retirement. The Olive Festival is held annually early in May and the Berg River Canoe Marathon passes there in July.
The form Riebeek-Wes is preferred for official purposes.

The "Shabalyt buta" carpets belong to the complex composition of the Karabakh carpets. The main centres of production of the "Shabalyt buta" carpets were Jabrayil, Aghdam and Mugan. In an earlier period, carpets of the same pattern were woven at carpet weaving points located in the Iranian Azerbaijan, but they were rougher than the Karabakh ones. The silk carpets “Shabalyt buta” woven in Jabrayil were very popular.

## Artistic particularities

The middle field of the carpet is covered with buta patterns facing left and right. The artistic quality of the carpet is determined by the distance between the buta elements. The carpets with the representation in their middle field with buta located more densely look better than those with the rarer composition of buta. There are also carpets “Shabalyt buta” the middle field of which is filled with “gotazly buta” (“buta with a tassel”) and “airy buta” (“curve buta”).

## Technical particularities

The Shabalyt buta carpets were produced in different sizes. In the recent years, the elongated carpets have been woven most often. The density of knots: each square decimetre contains approximately 40 × 40 knots (about 160 000 knots for each square meter). The pile height is 6-8 millimetres.
# Nyíregyháza New Synagogue

Designed by Lipót Baumhorn in an eclectic Art Deco style, the synagogue was built between 1924 and 1932. Its external dimensions are 21.14 m × 31.22 m (69.4 ft × 102.4 ft), while the Synagogue Square is 22 m × 19.35 m (72.2 ft × 63.5 ft). The synagogue has seating capacity for 410 males and 286 females. For women's seating, a gallery was built around the three sides of the interior. In the middle of the interior is the Bema.
The main architectural motif of the interior is the so-called eastern wall (Mizrah) and the cupboard. The latter is a party-building with double Corinthian columns. The semicircular cab is inscribed with: "Father, King, open the gates of heaven to our prayers." (Psalm 113: 3). The lake is surrounded by a large arcade with lined ornamentation, which integrates the lake cabin with the ornate circular window, bridging the columns in a semicircle. The wall's curve has a lion detailing with text that reads: "Praise the Eternal Name from Sunrise to Sunset." (Psalm 113: 3).
The synagogue, together with other religious buildings in its vicinity, are in active use by the local Jewish community.
