# Death Hawk

Death Hawk is a fictional American comic book character, a self-styled salvage expert in the 25th century. The character starred in a namesake, three-issue series published by Adventure Publications from 1987 to 1988, created and written by Mark Ellis. He first appeared in a five-page back-up feature in Star Rangers #2–3, by the same writer.

## Publication history

Death Hawk ran three issues cover-dated May to November 1988. The first issue was pencilled by artist Adam Hughes, succeeded with issue #2 by Rik Levins. The first two issues featured painted covers by Dave Dorman, the third by Steve Hickman.
Death Hawk was canceled after the third issue when the publisher went out of business. A fourth issue was completed but went unpublished at the time.
In September 2008, Ellis' Millennial Concepts (with Transfuzion Publishing) published a 128-page trade paperback, Death Hawk: The Soulworm Saga Volume One, that collected the published Death Hawk stories and the previously unpublished fourth issue. It included never-before seen incidental art by Darryl Banks, Jim Mooney and Robert Lewis.
In October 2019 graphic novel publisher Markosia Enterprises released Death Hawk: The Complete Saga, in hardcover, trade paperback and digital editions with a new full-length story by artist Jeff Slemons.

## Fictional character biography

The 25th century as presented in Death Hawk and its companion series Star Rangers was a dystopia of Solar System-spanning corporations that held the true power behind the centralized government of the Sol 9 Commonwealth. His true name revealed, the protagonist was the surviving member of a group of corporate outcasts who called themselves the Death Hawks. When the group was betrayed by one of their own, Death Hawk escaped in his 50-year-old spaceship the Peregrine. With the aid of his bio-engineered sidekick, Cyke, Death Hawk traveled the spaceways eluding arrest warrants and creditors, his eye always out for ways to keep his salvage business going — often when legality was questionable.
Cyke, described as an "intelligent blob of goo" was a telepathic protosymbiote produced by the Biotek Corporation. Although Death Hawk referred to Cyke as "he", the creature was sexless. However, it possessed the ability to morph into a variety of sizes and shapes. Not only was Cyke extremely intelligent, it was far more knowledgeable than his human partner and wasn't above reminding Death Hawk of the fact.
The story arc "The Soulworm Saga" revolved around the quest for a mythical alien object of immense power.
Other characters included:
* Brigid O'Shaunessy/Vanessa Bouvier, a beautiful con artist who claimed to be an exo-archeologist.
* R'yex, an Arcturan mercenary who first opposed Death Hawk then out of necessity joined forces with him.
* Anton Chane, a director of the mysterious Biotek Corporation, whose agenda has far-reaching implications for the evolution of humanity.
* Takaun, one of the "high daimyos" of the Sol 9 Shogunate, who was just as crafty as Chane and as greedy as R'yex, but in his own way.

# James Kernan

# Andrea Hill

Andrea Hill was Suffolk County Council's chief executive from March 2008 to July 2011, when she left the authority by mutual agreement.

## Early career

Hill attended The Sandon School, Sandon, Chelmsford, Essex and then studied public administration at Birmingham University and followed her father, an Essex County Council officer, into local government. Her first post was as a management trainee at Thurrock Council in the 1980s, followed by director of communications and policy development at North Hertfordshire. In the mid-1990s she was assistant chief executive at Cambridge City Council, and by 2001 she had gained her first chief officer post at Colchester District Council, aged 37, on a salary of £85,000. Among her achievements there was a £1.5 billion PFI contract for a new army garrison.

## County council CEO

In August 2004 Hill became chief executive of Bedfordshire County Council. During her three years tenure, it moved from two to three stars in the Audit Commission's ratings, and was described by them as one of twenty "strongly improving" authorities in the country.

## Suffolk county council

Hill was appointed chief executive of Suffolk County Council in March 2008 at the age of 44. She was a powerful and vocal advocate of the emerging "New Strategic Direction" of outsourcing council functions, which became an exemplar for ministers. However, as the cuts of 2010/11 began to loom ever closer, so the media interest in Hill increased, with headlines about her rather than the council. By April 2011 Andrea Hill wrote her side of the controversy in the council's house magazine: Inside SCC. But by then the council's new direction had become increasingly distrusted by elected members, who threw it out with the election of Mark Bee as the replacement council leader for Jeremy Pembroke.
That may have sealed Andrea Hill's fate. In July 2011 (aged 47) she received a year's salary as pay-off for relinquishing her post, following a "whistle-blowing" enquiry that exonerated her of any wrongdoing. In October 2011 she was replaced by Deborah Cadman OBE.

## Subsequently

Ms Hill subsequently took a sabbatical role as a yachting holiday flotilla hostess in the Virgin Islands.

# Leivu dialect

The Leivu dialect is an extinct dialect of South Estonian that was spoken in North Latvia around the Gauja river by the Gauja Estonians. It became extinct in 1988 when the last speaker Anton Bok (1908–1988) died. However there are many recordings of the dialect. The Leivu dialect most closely resembles the Hargla sub-dialect of Võro but was influenced by the Latvian language and possibly even Livonian.
In the year 1782, the dialect was spoken by thousands of people, in 1849 around 2600 knew the dialect and in 1935 only about 131 knew or spoke it.
In 1911, Finnish linguist Heikki Ojansuu went to document the Leivu dialect along with the Ludza and Kraasna dialects.

## Phonology

Due to Latvian influence, the sounds s and z have changed into š and ž. For example: suži ‘wolf’, püššü ‘gun’. There has also been a loss of the consonant /h/ in many words and it is usually replaced by a stød such as in: ra’a ‘money’, vä’ämb ‘less’.
The first syllable was pronounced longer than in other South-Estonian dialects, for example mùnà ‘egg’.

## Lexicon

Some words in Leivu:
* ria = rake
* püäbä = Sunday
* vaijõr = maple
* jaijõ = chilly
* na’a = skin
* pä’ä = head
* jèma = mother
* eza = father
* terä = seed, grain
* tarõ = room
# Fiddle Peak

Fiddle Peak was named by James Hector in 1858. It is located in the Fiddle Range of Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada.
# Iron Horse (sculpture)

Iron Horse (also known as Pegasus Without Wings) is a 2-ton, 12-foot-tall iron sculpture created by Abbott Pattison. Although the sculpture was not well-received at first, as of the second decade of the twenty-first century it is visited by many tourists and University of Georgia students.

## History

On May 25, 1954, Abbott Pattison, then a sculptor in residence at the University of Georgia, produced the sculpture while at the university and initially placed it there outside Reed Hall. However, after the sculpture was vandalized by disgruntled students, the sculpture was secretly moved to a barn. It remained there before horticulture professor L.C. Curtis moved it to his farm near Watkinsville, Georgia in 1959. In an interview with The New York Times in 1979, Curtis claimed that he wanted the sculpture from Lamar Dodd, the chairman of the art department at the time, because "I collect conversation pieces. I'm a little bit of an eccentric." In 2011, the sculpture was vandalized once again. Afterwards, a secret group restored the horse. Later the Curtis family had the sculpture bolted to a concrete pad because periodically people would knock it over. Around 2012 the Curtis family sold approximately 650 acres of the farm to the University of Georgia, but retained a 20-foot by 20-foot section where the horse they then owned stood. Subsequently, the Curtis family offered to deed the horse and remaining 400 square feet to the university on the condition the horse stayed in place; however, the university insisted that the sculpture be returned to campus. Eventually, the sculpture and the land were given to the university by Curtis's daughter-in-law Patty Curtis and her daughter Alice Hugel in 2024.
In spring of 2024, the concrete pad to which the sculpture had been attached was broken up, and the Iron Horse was transported to Athens, Georgia. There, art conservator Amy Jones Abbe and metalsmith Don Cope oversaw its restoration. Due to changes from Pattison's sketches that the artist had made during construction, the team used a small number of available photographs as reference to guide restoration, including the addition of pieces that had gone missing due to exposure or vandalism. The finished restoration was then painted and covered with epoxy. On November 22, 2024, the restored sculpture was transported back to the Iron Horse Plant Sciences Farm and installed on its former site on a new concrete plinth.

## Research

In 2014, the University of Georgia named the approximately 650 acre portion of the farm it purchased the "Iron Horse Plant Sciences Farm" in honor of the sculpture. The university uses the farm for agricultural research. In February 2017, a study created at the farm was released, which consisted of the use of drones to analyze the genetic data found in crop yields.

## In popular culture

The early history of the sculpture was depicted in the 1962 National Educational Television film, Pegasus Without Wings as well as the 1980 William VanDerKloot documentary, Iron Horse. The sculpture has its own TripAdvisor page.
# Sidney Kramer

Sidney Kramer (July 8, 1925 – May 16, 2022) was an American politician in the state of Maryland. He served in the Maryland Senate and as county executive for Montgomery County.

His first bid for a seat in the Montgomery County Council was unsuccessful, but he became elected to the Council four years later in 1970, and he served till 1974. He was credited with persuading the county to distribute grants to local nonprofit institutions for the first time.
During the 1974 US House of Representatives elections, Kramer was the Democratic nominee for Maryland's 8th congressional district against incumbent Republican Gilbert Gude. However, he lost by a margin of nearly 2-to-1. Kramer was elected to the Maryland Senate in 1978, and he served as Chairperson of the Montgomery County Delegation for eight years. He returned to the County in 1986 and defeated then-County Council Member David Scull in the election to become Montgomery County's third County Executive. During his tenure as county executive, Kramer oversaw the increase in funding for programs helping residents with developmental disabilities, which was previously within the purview of state government. His leadership was characterized as a "relatively low-key, businesslike administration". He was later defeated in the 1990 Democratic primary by Neal Potter, who went on to become the fourth Montgomery County Executive.
