# Sylvia Lawry

Sylvia Lawry (née: Friedman; born in Brooklyn, New York, June 28, 1915) was a social campaigner on behalf of people with multiple sclerosis. She founded the National Multiple Sclerosis Society (United States) in 1947 and co-founded the Multiple Sclerosis International Federation in the same year.
Lawry was at university studying law when her brother Bernard Friedman was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. The family's experience prompted Lawry to place an advert in The New York Times seeking others affected by the disease. She received 50 replies. Recognising the need for more research and information, she brought together 20 prominent research scientists and went on to form the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
In 1965 Lawry called a meeting in Vienna, Austria, to persuade more countries to join the Multiple Sclerosis International Federation. She was joined by Shirley Temple Black, who was also a campaigner for those affected by multiple sclerosis. The meeting was tense and there was some uncertainty in the room. The turning point came when Shirley Temple Black stood up:
   'She looked around the room, making eye contact with many of the delegates. Then she asked, "What have you got to lose?" There really was no risk, she argued, financial or otherwise. "We're all here for the same reason," she insisted, "and that's to wipe out multiple sclerosis."
Bernard Friedman died of MS-related causes in 1973. Lawry knew that there were many other people with multiple sclerosis who needed help. She worked with Senator Charles Tobey of New Hampshire, whose daughter had MS, to lobby Congress. Eventually she and Tobey persuaded them to adopt legislation establishing what is now the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS).
Lawry died on February 24, 2001.

It and two nearby mountains known as Rechberg and Stuifen together constitute the so-called "Three Kaiser mountains" (Drei Kaiserberge).

# Island Bend Dam

Island Bend Dam is a major gated concrete gravity dam with a controlled spillway across the Snowy River in the Snowy Mountains region of New South Wales, Australia. The dam's main purpose is for the diversion of water for generation of hydro-power and is one of the sixteen major dams that comprise the Snowy Mountains Scheme, a vast hydroelectricity and irrigation complex constructed in south-east Australia between 1949 and 1974 and now run by Snowy Hydro.
The impounded reservoir is called the Island Bend Pondage.

## Location and features

Completed in 1965, Island Bend Dam is a major dam, located within the Snowy Monaro Regional Council, adjacent to the locality of Island Bend. The dam was constructed by Utah Construction and Engineering Pty Limited based on engineering plans developed under contract from the Snowy Mountains Hydroelectric Authority.
The dam wall comprising 60,400 cubic metres (2,130,000 cu ft) of concrete is 49 metres (161 ft) high and 146 metres (479 ft) long. At 100% capacity the dam wall holds back 3,084 megalitres (108.9×10^$^6$ cu ft) of water. The surface area of Island Bend Pondage is 327 hectares (810 acres) and the catchment area is 221 square kilometres (85 sq mi). The controlled spillway is capable of discharging 2,832 cubic metres per second (100,000 cu ft/s).
The dam receives water from Lake Jindabyne and Lake Eucumbene through the Snowy-Island Bend and Snowy-Eucumbene tunnels respectively. The combined water is then sent West through the Snowy-Geehi trans-mountain tunnel to Geehi Dam for generation in the Murray Power Stations. Water can flow the reverse direction, to Eucumbene and Jindabyne from Geehi for storage during periods of high river flow, or otherwise.
