"Angelfist is a 1993 martial arts action film starring Catya Sassoon, Michael Shaner, and Melissa Moore. Directed by Cirio H. Santiago, the film was produced by Santiago and Roger Corman. The film has been described as a "reworking of T.N.T. Jackson". Premise In Manila, a United States colonel is killed by the Black Brigade, a terrorist group. A martial artist who witnesses the murder is also killed. Her sister, a Los Angeles detective, travels to Manila and fights in her stead in a martial arts tournament in order to find her killer and avenge her death. Reception In his book on terrorism in American cinema, M. Ray Lott said Catya Sassoon's role that in the "subgenre of the female martial artist", Angelfist was "much more interested in showing her as a sexual object" than would be the case in a film with Cynthia Rothrock, the usual figure in that subgenre. Her nude appearance resulted in her being "almost launched as soft-porn action heroine". Lott called the film itself "a titillating exploitation vehicle for undiscriminating action audiences" and acknowledged that "[i]t knows its target audience".

"EDFK Tower and Terminal (2017) view from east Bad Kissingen Airfield is an airfield in Germany, located about 1 mile north of Bad Kissingen in Bavaria. It supports general aviation and light aircraft up to by planes of up to 3,000 kg. History Bad Kissingen had two different aerodromes. Military airfield The origins of the first airfield, located 3 km east of the city, are in August 1936 when the German Army "Baron von Manteuffel" Kaserne was constructed, parallel to the opening of an airfield as a component of the garrison. During World War II, Bad Kissingen was declared an "open city" and escaped Allied bombing. With all of its sanatoriums, hotels and nursing homes, the city served as a rest center for sick and injured German soldiers. On 7 April 1945, Third US Army troops entered the city without a fight. The aerodrome was taken over by the United States Army Air Forces in April 1945 as a liaison airfield for the United States occupation forces in the Bad Kissingen area. On 6 June 1945 the Headquarters of Ninth Air Force moved from Chantilly, France to Bad Kissingen. On 1 November 1945, the XII Tactical Air Command moved to Bad Kissingen from Erlangen and replaced the Ninth Air Force. Originally constructed with a Pierced Steel Planking runway, the steel was removed in 1948 and transported to the Berlin area for use in the construction of Tegel Airport. On 10 November 1947 the XII Tactical Air Command was inactivated at Bad Kissingen. In early 1948, the airfield was turned over to the United States Army. During 1949, an additional 30 acres of land were requisitioned and added to the Kaserne. The PX, Commissary, EM Club, Gym, Bowling Alley were constructed as parts of this addition. Another section was used for an ammunition storage area. In 1950, the grass runway was replaced with a bitumen runway. In 1953, another 23 acres were added to the Kaserne. The additional land was used for construction of dependent housing. On 17 February 1953, pursuant to GO #1, Hqs USAREUR, Manteuffel Kaserne was redesignated as Daley Barracks in honor of Technician Fifth Grade William T. Daley, HHB, 94th Rcn Sq (Mecz), who was awarded posthumously the Distinguished Service Cross for extraordinary heroism during World War II. Daley Barracks was part of the Manteuffel-Kaserne/Daley Barracks NATO facilities until 1993 when the Americans withdrew from Bad Kissingen after the Cold War ended. Since the closure of the airfield, the area has been used by the German Federal Police as a training area.Information on AAF/EDEG The ICAO-Code EDEG had been assigned to this airfield. Civil airfield The local glider club Segelfluggemeinschaft Bad Kissingen constructed a civil airfield approximately 1 km north of the City. A control tower was added to an existing spa building, constructed around 1900, and two hangars were erected. The ICAO-Code EDFK was assigned to the civil airfield. Until 2017, the aerodrome was regularly used by the Helicopter Rescue Squadron of the State of Bavaria. Today, the airfield is used primarily by local light aircraft and gliders.

"Sandy Smith (born 2 August 1983) is a Scottish visual artist based in New York City. He is the younger brother of professional Rock Climber Malcolm Smith and experimental evolutionary linguist Kenny Smith. Biography Smith was born in the Scottish town of Dunbar, and later moved to Glasgow to study Art at the Glasgow School of Art from 2001 to 2005. His first solo exhibition in Glasgow was in 2006. Since this time Smith has exhibited widely in Scotland and Internationally, to some critical success in Denmark and the USA.Hackett, Regina.

Major works and projects "Pure Love", the title of Smith's first solo show in London in April 2009, marked the romantic influence of the road trip project undertaken the previous summer. A return to working individually, the exhibition showcased a new series of abstract sculptural works executed in shagpile wool. The tactile nature of these works was highlighted by a large lightbox's confession of "I want to hold you", although the inclusion of a slowly revolving mirror in the centre of the space, precariously held at an angle, keeps the viewer aware of his/her own physicality in relation to the sculptures. The first room of the installation "The Object moved by its own Success", a collaborative exhibition by Sandy Smith & Alex Gross. "Road Trip USA" During August 2008, Smith undertook an collaborative project with another Glasgow based artist, Alex Gross, which saw them create 3 solo exhibitions during a 9000 miles road trip around the western United States. A project was organized by Smith and Gross, and funded by the Scottish Arts Council and the British Council. The trip was, in Sandy Smith's words, to be a "fast, flowing journey into optimism, failure, modernism, landscape and tourism, as well as a jovial examination of the artist's role in relation to these grand ideals".USA Road Trip 08 – Smith & Gross, Sandy Smith.

This exhibition was also documented in Art Review.Clegg, James. "Art Pilgrimage: Glasgow & Edinburgh", Art Review, March, 2009. The four exhibitions, along with other works and tourist photographs from the journey, are shown in detail on Smith’s website. "Junior: A monument in film making history" is the title of an essay commissioned by the artist from an academic essay writing company. In May 2007, the essay was to prove that Junior is the best film ever made, and reference various philosophers and thinkers such as Roland Barthes, Jean Baudrillard, Michel Foucault, Sigmund Freud and Marc Augé amongst others. The essay itself is available to download from a website Smith set up specifically to host this project, www.juniorbestfilmever.info. The topic has also spurred a competition where the public is invited to submit their own take on why the film should be considered the greatest ever made, with cash prizes available for the winning entries.

"All the time I was making this, I was thinking of you" was the title of Smith's solo exhibition, at Market Gallery, Glasgow. In July 2007, this exhibition followed on from a four-week residency in the gallery space, where Smith spent his time making a flowering forest from craft materials such as crepe paper, tissue paper, Papier-mâché and poster paint. "Mauritian Sunset" exhibited in Edinburgh's Embassy Gallery. "Mauritian Sunset" was the final work in a series of installations using redundant or discarded computers as building blocks to create architectural features or follies.
