# A Midsummer Night's Dream (2017 film)

A Midsummer Night's Dream is a 2017 film adaptation of the play A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare. The film is a modern rendition that relocates the story from ancient Athens to present-day Los Angeles.

## Plot

The film follows the original play but is set in modern-day Los Angeles. Because of this, the film has minute changes to suit the new setting. Among them is the "rude mechanicals" who are depicted as filmmakers. Quince is now female and a romantic subplot is added between her and Nick Bottom. Duke Theseus is now a film producer with implied connections to the criminal underworld. The fairies are implied to be forest bohemians, though they still possess magic. Nick Bottom's transformation into an ass is taken quite literally in this version with his face turning into a butt, complete with fart noises.
While the film retains the original Shakespearian dialogue, it will occasionally add new dialogue, some of which reference Shakespeare's other works, for humorous effect.

The film's original soundtrack, composed by Mia Doi Todd, features guest appearances by Tunde Adebimpe, Cut Chemist, Dntel, Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, Dungen, and others.

## Release and reception

A Midsummer Night's Dream premiered at the Los Angeles Film Festival in June 2017, where it received positive reviews.
The film was acquired for a theatrical release by Brainstorm Media and played at Landmark Theatres and other venues nationwide in the summer of 2018.
The film received generally positive reviews upon its theatrical opening. On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, it holds an approval rating of 65%, based on 17 reviews with an average rating of 6.4/10.

# Reno Browne

Reno Browne was the stage name of Josephine Ruth Clarke (April 20, 1921 – May 15, 1991), an American equestrian and B-movie actress during the late 1940s and into the 1950s, with most of her films being in 1949. She was sometimes billed as Reno Blair.

## Early life

She was born in Reno, Nevada, to wealthy parents. Her father was a successful attorney.
Browne graduated from a Dominican convent in San Rafael in 1941.

## Career

Browne became a licensed pilot. She was proficient at riding horses, and soon became a rodeo queen in the pacific northwest. After taking drama lessons, she embarked on a film career, signing a contract with Monogram Pictures.
She was originally billed as "Reno Blair," as she explained in 1985: "When I first signed, I was working with Johnny Mack Brown and [the studio] thought the public would think I was his daughter or something. So they made me use the name Blair. Funny though, his horse's name was Reno, so when I changed my last name to Blair they had to change his horse's name to Rebel."
In total, she starred in 14 westerns of the period, all but one for Monogram. She first worked opposite Johnny Mack Brown, then Whip Wilson, then Jimmy Wakely. In 1949 she launched a 13-episode radio show, Reno Rides Again.
She and Dale Evans were the only western actresses to have their own comic books based on their character. Browne had four issues published in 1950 by Marvel Comics. In 1950, Bill Haley and His Saddlemen recorded a single, "My Palomino and I"/"My Sweet Little Girl from Nevada", for Cowboy Records (CR 1701). It was released as by "Reno Browne and Her Buckaroos", even though Browne had no connection with the recording (though her photo did appear on the sheet music for the latter song). Also in 1951, she was crowned Clovis Rodeo Queen in Clovis, California.

## Personal life

For a period, she was married to western actor Lash LaRue. She retired to Reno, and during the 1980s she attended several western film festivals.

## Death

Browne was diagnosed with cancer, and died in Physicians' Hospital for Extended Care in Reno on May 15, 1991.

It became a successful single for Jean-François Michael (stage name of singer Yves Rose) in 1969 and was released on the Barclay Records label.
It was a hit in France and internationally for Jean-François Michael topping both the French and the Belgian singles charts. The song was the title track of the similarly titled Michael album Adieu jolie Candy.

## Track listing

* "Adieu jolie Candy" (2:52)
* "Francine (Les Newstars)" (3:10)

## Covers

Besides the main French-language version, Jean-François Michael released alternative language versions under various titles as "Adiós, linda Candy" in Spanish, "Adios querida luna" also in Spanish, "Fiori bianchi per te" in Italian and "Adieu süsse Candy" in German.

### "Fiori bianchi per te"

An Italian language version of the song titled Fiori bianchi per te (White flowers for you) became a hit for the Combos in 1970 (Combo Record – HP 8070) and Milords, contained in 1987 album Amore, ti ricordi... 3 (Love, do you remember ... 3) (Andros Music, MC 3310).

### "If That's All I Can"

# Nima Shafeghdoost

Nima Shafeghdoost (2006–2022; Persian: نیما شفیق‌دوست) was a 16-year-old Iranian student who became a casualty during the Mahsa Amini protests in Iran. He sustained injuries in Urmia and later, after being detained by security forces in Urmia, died.

## Early life

Nima Shafeghdoost spent his early years in Zindasht and lived with his family in Urmia, where he pursued his education.

## Incident and injuries

During the Mahsa Amini protests in Urmia, Shafeghdoost was wounded by a gunshot. Fearing arrest, he sought refuge in the basement of his father's house while receiving medical attention. However, security forces eventually identified and detained him. Despite the severity of his injuries, authorities refrained from taking him to the hospital.

## Death

On the 5th of October 2022, at the age of 16, Nima Shafeghdoost succumbed to his injuries while in custody. Despite the condition of his body, authorities resisted transferring him to a hospital. After several days of being unaware of his fate, his family received his body from security authorities.

## Islamic Republic's claim

The local law enforcement commander in Urmia claimed that Nima Shafeghdoost had voluntarily refrained from continuing his treatment after seeking medical attention for a dog bite, leading to fatal infection. This assertion is part of a pattern where the Islamic Republic authorities commonly attribute the deaths of protesters to suicide, underlying medical conditions, being bitten by dogs, or even alleged shooting among protesters.
The circumstances surrounding Nima Shafeghdoost's death remain contentious, with conflicting narratives from the government and those close to him, reflecting the complexities and challenges of information dissemination during periods of civil unrest.
# Taha Siddiqui

Taha Siddiqui is a Pakistani-born journalist based in Paris. He is an active critic of the military of Pakistan.

## Early life and career

He is a graduate of Institute of Business Administration, Karachi. Calling himself an "accidental journalist", he entered the news industry as a financial analyst for CNBC. After joining Geo TV as a business reporter, he took on more mainstream assignments, becoming a reporter at Express TV and a producer for Dunya TV before joining France 24 in 2012. Two years later, he won the Albert Londres Prize, alongside Julien Fouchet and Sylvain Lepetit, for The Polio War, a documentary on the challenges facing polio eradication efforts in Pakistan.
He is also founder of the SAFE Newsrooms.
In January 2018, in Islamabad, gunmen tried to abduct Siddiqui, but he managed to escape.
Afterwards, he and his family moved to Paris, where they live in exile. In a Washington Post opinion article, Siddiqui stated that a US intelligence agency informed him of plans by the Pakistani military to assassinate him if he ever returned. In 2020, he opened "The Dissident Club", a bar for exiles and dissidents serving as a refuge and a discussion space. He co-authored an autobiographic bande dessinée graphic novel of the same name that was released in 2023.

# Madonna and Child Playing with the Veil

The Madonna and Child Playing With the Veil, is a devotional painting finished around 1520-1530 by the Flemish High Renaissance painter Jan Gossaert. It is housed in the Mauritshuis museum of The Hague, Netherlands.

## Composition

This work is one of the most copied works of Gossaert (Mabuse) with over twenty known copies dated to within a decade of the (unspecified) original, and depicts the Virgin with the Christ child with both arms above His head, playing with Mary's veil. Many copies were documented by Max Jakob Friedländer.

## Symbolism

Most of the known copies follow the original quite closely, but include different objects in the foreground and background. Most copies were probably made for a specific church or mecenas, though this information has often been lost. According to the RKD, a copy hangs in the Palencia Cathedral. This natural pose of Christ playing with the veil seems to have become quite popular, and two copies are known that have been done by the contemporary painter Pauwels Coeke van Aelst, the bastard half-brother of Pieter van Aelst.
This devotional subject is not to be confused with other devotional Mabuse Madonnas (or the one at the National Gallery which is also dated 1520) posed without a veil, that includes a disguised portrait. An example is the one identified as Anna van Bergen, the wife of Adolf of Burgundy, and that was also copied many times. A similar Mabuse Madonna without a veil that was also a disguised portrait was made for Jean Carondelet in the Diptich of Jean Carandelet and his wife that hangs today in the Louvre, but was painted for the Besançon Cathedral. According to Van Mander in 1604, there were many copies of Mabuse Madonnas to be found in Middelburg.

## Copies attributed to Gossaert

* other version in Brazil
* other version with white lily and cherries
* Other version with orange in the foreground and a version of Flight into Egypt in the background.
* Version in Museo Nazionale di Palazzo Mansi, Lucca

## Other copies

* Copy hanging in the Anhaltische Gemäldegalerie of the Georgium Palace, Dessau

# Dianne Bos

Dianne Bos is a Canadian photographer based in Calgary, Alberta, whose works have been exhibited internationally since 1981.
Bos was born in Dundas, Ontario, in 1956. She earned a degree in sculpture from Mount Allison University.
Many of Bos' photographs are produced using a homemade pinhole camera. These images are not intended to be an objective record of a particular object or place, but an attempt to capture a memory.
An exhibit of Bos' photographs produced using a pinhole camera, called Son et Lumiére, was exhibited at the Kamloops Art Gallery in 2002.
Bos participated in the group exhibition, Time & Space curated by Josephine Mills and organized by the University of Lethbridge Art Gallery in 2007. The exhibition toured to the Dunlop Art Gallery, Regina; The Rooms, Newfoundland and Labrador, St. John's; and the Owens Art Gallery, Sackville.
For her Galaxies series, Bos experimented with photographing different light sources through multiple pinholes. Her 2001 work M51 by Candlelight depicts the Whirlpool Galaxy and is included in the New Mexico History Museum's Pinhole Resource Collection. She created the image using an aluminum plate camera dotted with dozens of pinholes of varying sizes. A photograph that Bos took in Toulouse was used by graphic designer Jennifer Clark for her mural Timeless.
Bos made pinhole cameras from old travel books for an exhibition at Toronto's Edward Day Gallery in 2011. R.M. Vaughan described the photographs as both sleepy and tense, writing that they "replicate those first moments of waking, when tenuous reality comes into semi-focus."
Bos is also a keyboardist and singer, and was awarded the 1986 CASBY Award for Most Promising Female Vocalist.
In June 2013, her Bowness home was submerged when the Bow River flooded. She lost her collection of homemade pinhole cameras, her darkroom and studio as well as hundreds of printed images.
Beginning in 2014, Bos travelled to locations in Belgium and France to photograph battle sites where the Canadian (including Newfoundland) troops fought in World War I. The resulting photographs, also taken with a pinhole camera, were shown in a solo exhibition entitled The Sleeping Green: No Man's Land 100 Years Later at the University of Lethbridge Art Gallery and other museums and galleries.
Bos is represented by Edward Day Gallery in Toronto; Jennifer Kostuik Gallery in Vancouver; Newzones in Calgary; and Beaux-arts des Amériques, Montreal.

Dan Martinson stated in his positive review, "Karen O falls for an angel who falls from the sky, the constant clank of Brian Chase's cymbals and Nick Zinner's guitar curlicues evoke "Gimme Shelter" with an exaggerated gospel swing."

## Music video

The video consists of a chronologically reversed sequence of events outlining the rationale and events leading to a group of people in a small town shooting a man and burning a promiscuous woman (Cole) alive. The band does not appear in the video.

## In popular culture

# Curtis Knight and the Squires

Curtis Knight and the Squires were a New York band that was fronted by singer and guitarist Curtis Knight in the mid-1960s. Both Jimi Hendrix and sax player Lonnie Youngblood were members for a while.

## Background

The band is referred to as a workaday party R&B band by Billboard. The line up of the group wasn't always with the same musicians. Sax player Lonnie Youngblood had been a member. The line up pictured on the cover of the You Can't Use My Name: The RSVP/PPX Sessions album features Curtis Knight, Jimi Hendrix, Marion Booker and Ace Hall.
At some stage in 1964, Hendrix met Knight in the lobby of a Harlem residential hotel and they hit it off. Hendrix became a member of the band Curtis Knight and the Squires in October the following year. While with the band, Hendrix signed a contract with the owner of PPX Studios, Ed Chaplin for just one dollar. This would later cause major problems for Hendrix. He finally left The Squires on May 20, 1966.

## Releases

In September 1966, "Hornet's Nest" bw "Knock Yourself Out" were released on the RSVP label, RSVP 1124. Hendrix co-composed them with Jerry Simon. The two songs on the single are the representative of Hendrix's first compositions to be on a recorded release.
In 2000, the UK label Jungle records released the album Jimi Hendrix with Curtis Knight & The Squires – Knock Yourself Out: The 1965 Studio Sessions which in addition to the 10 studio tracks included 5 bonus live tracks.
In 2015, the album You Can't Use My Name: The RSVP/PPX Sessions was released. It featured recordings Hendrix made with the group around 1965. The album features "Hornets Nest", "No Such Animal", and "Knock Yourself Out". It also features a song called "How Would You Feel", which has a strong resemblance to Bob Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone". Allmusic's review of the album by Stephen Thomas Erlewine describes Knight "rewriting Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone" as a black rock protest song called "How Would You Feel" "
