The Craft: 6 Things To Remember About The Original Before The Craft: Legacy
Jerrica Tisdale
Published: Oct. 21. 2020 6:00 PM
Find out where to stream The Craft on ReelGood
The Craft is a 90s cult hit that starred Fairuza Balk, Neve Campbell, Rachel True, and Robin Tunney. It followed four teens as they learned to master their witch powers. The Craft involved lots of magic, betrayal, snakes, and plenty of screams. Recently, Blumhouse revealed the trailer for the upcoming sequel, The Craft: Legacy. The Craft 2 looks like a film that will pay tribute to the original movie while also carving its own identity.
Because The Craft: Legacy isn't completely ignoring the original film, it's important to revisit the first movie to see what possible direction the new movie may take. If you don't have time to rewatch the original The Craft, or you just don't want to pay to rent it, let's look at some of the key things to remember before the sequel premieres.
The Power Of Four
In The Craft, Bonnie (Neve Campbell), Nancy (Fairuza Balk), and Rochelle (Rachel True) had already been practicing magic when the film starts, but they couldn't really tap into their powers until they got a fourth member. Sarah (Robin Tunney) moves to LA, and the magic really starts. The film has many references to why four witches are needed. One reason is so that they can all represent a location: west, north, east, and south.
It's also mentioned throughout the film that the number four correlates to the four major elements: water, fire, earth, and air. It seems that The Craft: Legacy will also continue this theme of the power of the four because in the trailer, it's mentioned that when Lily (Cailee Spaeny) arrives, they have their fourth witch.
How The Craft Magic Works
The magic in The Craft is loose and free, which means it doesn't quite follow any specified rules. Based on the film, they need a fourth member to unlock their magic, but they don't need to continue to be a coven to keep it. The Craft witches unlock their power through Manon. Manon is a spirit who isn't good or evil, but more of a higher being in the same way nature rules humanity. As Nancy states, Manon is "everything." Nancy and Sarah both end up invoking him to become even more powerful.
For magic to work, it needs a lot of concentration and some spell books. Nancy, Sarah, Rochelle, and Bonnie often visit the magic shop owned by Lirio (Assumpta Serna) to gather books, candles, and other witch necessities. Some of the magic used in The Craft includes a love spell, curing illnesses incantation, a curse spell, and illusion ones. The Craft: Legacy also appears to be including similar spells in this remake. On the trailer, we see boys following Lily around similar to when Sarah cast her spell on Chris (Skeet Ulrich).
Each Witch Had Personal Demons
The girls of The Craft were all fighting some sort of personal demon--typically ones faced by many teen girls like body issues, bullying, depression, and so on. Sarah's biggest issue was her depression over the loss of her mother. It's even revealed that she attempted suicide. Bonnie struggles with confidence and her body issues due to her burns. Rochelle is being bullied and dealing with racism from Laura (Christine Taylor). Nancy's biggest struggle is wanting to leave her life of poverty and abuse.
Each of the girls are able to use magic to remove these issues, but they don't necessarily become better versions of themselves because of it. I believe that The Craft: Legacy will cover their own versions of issues facing teen girls today, possibly online bullying, identity, and other things of that nature. The original Craft was very much about female empowerment, so I expect a 2020 version of that concept with the sequel.
What Makes A Good Witch And What Makes A Bad One
Towards the end of The Craft, Lirio explains how witches become good and evil. It has to do with their heart. If they have an impure heart, then they're more likely to become a bad witch, but if they have a kind soul, then they'll use their magic for good. Sarah ends up being the only good witch, while Rochelle, Bonnie, and Nancy all go towards the dark side.
It's shown throughout the movie how Sarah doesn't want to do bad things and questions their plans and vindictive behavior. Nancy completely embraces the dark side, and Rochelle and Bonnie join her without much convincing. Based on The Craft: Legacy trailer, it seems like the sequel may take an opposite approach. Frankie (Gideon Adlon) and the other witches discuss how a witch must be bound if she goes bad, like what happened to Nancy in the original film.
It appears that Lily may follow in Nancy's footsteps and go completely evil and crazy, but instead of two others joining her, the other three witches may work together to bring her down. I personally like this change, if that's the direction The Craft: Legacy goes, because I didn't quite understand why Rochelle and Bonnie just went evil too. It made more sense for them to all work to bring Nancy down.
How The Coven Falls Apart
The Craft coven fell apart very quickly as Sarah starts to question their behavior, and Nancy doesn't like it. The original three members decide that they don't need Sarah anymore. Then they work to torture and kill her.
It's a very dramatic response to some difference in opinions. I don't know if The Craft: Legacy will have a similar approach, but it seems like there will be some sort of falling out and coven dismantling at some point in that film.
What Happened To Each Member At The End
The Craft ended with a big magic battle between Sarah and Nancy. Sarah wins and Nancy is seen in the last frame in a mental hospital. Rochelle and Bonnie abandon the battle after Sarah shows them ugly versions of themselves (Rochelle without hair and Bonnie with face burns). Bonnie and Rochelle come visit Sarah to see if she still has powers because they have lost theirs. The two girls fake being nice, but then make a snide remark about Sarah to each other. Sarah then shows them that she still has her powers and is even more powerful now.
Since none of the original four died, I'm hoping that at least one of the original witches makes an appearance in The Craft: Legacy.
The Craft: Legacy trailer looks really intriguing, so I am excited to see how they incorporate the original movie into this sequel. The Craft: Legacy will be available on-demand on October 28.

Antiracism in Cuba examines public debates about race, racism, and blackness in Cuba between 1959 and 1961. Why did you elect to focus on the first three years of the revolution? What is significant about that particular historical moment?
Benson: When I think about the years between 1959 and 1961 in Cuba, one of the things that immediately comes to mind is that so much was unknown. In 1959, we did not know that Cuba and the United States would break diplomatic relations. We did not know that Fidel Castro was going to be in power for over 50 years. We had no idea that Cuba was going to become a socialist country and aligned with the Soviet Bloc. So many of the political debates and the events that laid the groundwork for those major things to happen occurred in that three-year period. So it was fundamentally a moment when the course of the Revolution was up for grabs. Conversations about race, integration, and nationalism played such a big role in that. For me, it became really important to examine how we look at these three years in order to understand how the Revolution became consolidated.
The second reason that it became really important for me to study the period between 1959 and 1961 is that I wanted to debunk the idea that revolutionary racial politics—the ones that we see throughout the latter part of the twentieth century—emerged because of the government's turn to socialism. I actually find that revolutionary racial policies have more to do with over 100 years of Cuban racial history, and the histories of people of African descent in Cuba, than they have anything to do with how socialists or communists approach race. So it's misleading to say that "Castro and the other Cuban leaders don't talk about race because they're socialists or they're communists." In reality, the reasons that they made the choices that they did in terms of racial discourses are based primarily on Cuba's distinctive racial history, and we can only see that if we explore how their stance on race and racism consolidates before they ever officially became socialists in 1961.
In March 1959, less than three months after the rebels toppled Fulgencio Batista's regime, Fidel Castro announced a new state-sponsored campaign to eliminate racial discrimination. As you discuss, few onlookers would have predicted that the new government would launch a major antiracist initiative given that the leaders of the 26th of July Movement (M 26-7) had been relatively silent about the plight of Cubans of African descent before taking power in 1959. What spurred Castro and the revolutionary government to address the problem of racial inequality?
Benson: As I discuss in the book, one of the reasons that people would not have predicted the antiracism campaign is because ending racial discrimination was not an explicit part of the M 26-7 platform. During the fight against Batista, M 26-7 leaders used quotations from nineteenth-century independence leaders like José Martí to articulate their platform and they spoke generally about equality for all. The M 26-7 platform from the 1950s talked about ending unemployment, reforming education and healthcare, and fighting against general social ills, rather than anything specific about race or racism.
When revolutionary leaders announced that they were going to launch a "battle against racial discrimination" in March 1959, I think they did so for a number of reasons. The first one is that Afro-Cuban activists were pushing them to do so. As historians Melina Pappademos and Frank Guridy have both shown, black and mulato activists throughout the twentieth century had made political alliances with previous administrations and exchanged votes for resources. So it makes sense that when there was a new government in power in 1959, Afro-Cubans continued their well-established pattern of working with government leaders to garner access to jobs, to political opportunities, and to other resources the state could provide. Thus, many Afro-Cuban activists viewed the change in government as a moment to push for their agenda. The new administration faced demands by black social club leaders, journalists, communists, and labor leaders to eliminate racial discrimination. As a result, one of the reasons that M 26-7 had to launch a campaign against racial discrimination was because they were being pushed to do so publicly.
Second, they also needed to consolidate the Revolution in the aftermath of the long civil war. There had been almost a decade of armed fighting in Cuba and they needed to move quickly to get people behind the new revolutionary government. In order to do that, they tried to consolidate the new government around the popular classes, including working-class people of color.
How did Afro-Cuban activists respond to the government's anti-discrimination campaign?
Benson: Afro-Cubans responded in a variety of ways. One way is that obviously many people supported it. When Castro made the announcement and said, "We're going to eliminate racial discrimination, and this will be one of the battles of the Revolution," many blacks and mulatos applauded. They were incredibly excited that revolutionary leaders were condemning racism. There were also activists who negotiated with the state and tried to push for more. In the book, I explore how Afro-Cuban activists used the exact same rhetoric that the government employed in the campaign against racial discrimination. However, they turn the rhetoric on itself in order to pressure the government to provide more rights and resources to Afro-Cubans. Once the revolutionary government began using antiracist rhetoric and linked it to the Revolution, some Afro-Cubans responded with even more robust demands.
Finally, a third group of Afro-Cubans were really hesitant. They appreciated that the government was willing to address racial discrimination, but they wanted to lead their own movement. They wanted to be in charge of antiracist activism on the island and they wanted to run the campaign from autonomous black social clubs and organizations. This third group faced a great deal of challenges, because there wasn't much space for independent black political mobilizations in Cuba in 1959 or 1960.
Discussions about race relations in Cuba, as you argue in Chapters Three and Four of the book, took place before a "transnational audience" and unfolded in the context of the Cold War. How did government officials attempt to shape international perceptions of race relations in Cuba? What role did Afro-Cuban activists play in the state's efforts to build alliances with black communities in the United States and elsewhere?
Benson: One of the things that is particularly interesting about studying this period is that you've got the significant changes that are occurring in terms of domestic race relations in Cuba. At the same time, it's the 1960s. There are so many things that are going on internationally—the Civil Rights Movement in the United States and anticolonial struggles in Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean—that you really get a sense that Cuban leaders were aware that they were on the cutting edge of conversations about race relations globally.
In terms of a transnational audience, the first time that the Cuban delegation goes to the United Nations meeting after Fidel Castro and the revolutionary government comes to power is in September 1960. Castro leads the delegation that travels to the United States and he's planning to discuss what the Revolution is doing and why it is so important to Cubans and to people around the world. However, the U.S. government bans the Cuban delegation from leaving Manhattan and puts an area restriction on how far they can travel beyond their hotel. Of course, that is not the way that revolutionary leaders expect to be treated.
Angered by the restrictions, Castro leaves his Manhattan hotel, drives down to the UN, and says that he's going to sleep on the front steps of the UN building, if necessary, to protest the restrictions. But at the same moment, there were people in the Cuban delegation who had been in conversation with African American leaders, and they suggested that the Cuban delegation should relocate to Harlem. They end up moving the entire 80-person Cuban delegation to stay at the Hotel Theresa in Harlem. The Hotel Theresa, which had this long history of being a place where famous African Americans like Joe Louis and Josephine Baker stayed while visiting New York, now becomes the place where the Cuban head of state and the entire Cuban delegation to the UN are staying. While the Cuban delegation is in Harlem, they are met by crowds of cheering African Americans. People were really excited that a visiting head of state was willing to stay in a black-owned hotel in Harlem. Furthermore, while they're at the Hotel Theresa, Castro has meetings with Malcolm X and with African leaders. Back in Cuba, the newspapers publish articles declaring Cubans' solidarity with the African American freedom struggle and use terminology like "our black brothers." The Cuban government recognized that racial discrimination and racial violence were vulnerabilities for the United States.
Fidel Castro and Malcolm X in Harlem, New York (1960)
Now, the other fascinating part of this particular story is that the 80-person Cuban delegation that stays at the Hotel Theresa is all white. So they're in Harlem meeting with African American activists discussing racism in the United States and they have to send a telegram requesting that Juan Almeida, the leading Afro-Cuban revolutionary leader, come to Harlem to join the delegation! You know, sometimes you find a smoking gun in the archives and it's awesome. And for me, it was when I found the telegram about Juan Almeida. The delegation wanted Almeida to come to Harlem, so that they could show that there were high-ranking black and brown leaders in Cuba. In the book, I argue that this is one of those moments when the Cuban government is actively working to shape international perceptions. On the one hand, they know that it's a positive thing to move to Harlem. But they also need to be able to demonstrate that they have an integrated revolutionary leadership, and they did that very purposefully while in Harlem.
Antiracism in Cuba includes over a dozen reproductions of political cartoons, including the arresting image of a Ku Klux Klan member being strangled by Fidel Castro's beard that appears on the front cover. How did visual images such as political cartoons and advertisements shape public discussions about racism and antiracism in Cuba between 1959 and 1961?
Lincoln— "At last someone who understands me!"
From El Mundo (September 23, 1960)
Benson: The visual images really give us a glimpse into the contradictions in the government's campaign. On one hand, you have leaders who are making antiracist declarations. They're publicly announcing their solidarity with Afro-Cubans and African Americans and also with global antiracist and anti-colonial struggles of the 1960s. But then at the same time, you have revolutionary cartoonists drawing Afro-Cubans in the same stereotypical way that they had in the pre-revolutionary period. You see the same exaggerated features, infantile caricatures, and minstrel-like comical sketches of black people. As I discuss in my book, many of these revolutionary cartoonists had fought in the Sierra Maestra and were part of the 26th of July Movement. They were not just peons submitting drawings to the newspaper; rather, many of them were actually close to the revolutionary leadership.
When I discuss the political cartoons, one of the things that I like to say is that they're giving you new ideas, but they're doing so with old packaging. These political cartoons illustrate the contradictions of the state's antiracist rhetoric and reveal the part of it that devalues blackness, black history, and black culture, even as they claim to want to be inclusive. The book seeks to tease out that tension.
Finally, I want to say a bit about the images on the book's cover. In your question, you mention the arresting image of Castro strangling the Klansman. But what's most fascinating for me about that cartoon is the image right next to it, which is also on the book's cover and is from the same page in the newspaper. Right next to the cartoon of Castro strangling the Klansman, you have a sketch of a Castro-like figure who is offering his beard to cover up a naked black childlike figure. Revolutionary cartoonists in the 1960s go so far as to draw Castro strangling a Klansman but, at the same time, depict blacks as immature, childlike, and unfit for self-government in an image on the exact same page.
The longstanding—and often tense—relationship between Cuba and the United States has warmed considerably in the past year. In July 2015, the two nations restored diplomatic relations and President Barack Obama will travel to Cuba this month. From your perspective, what will the normalization of US-Cuban relations mean for the future of the island's antiracist movement?
Benson: There is one thing that I often tell people when they ask me about this new "opening" between the U.S. and Cuba and how it's going to affect people on the island. I tell them that Cuba has been open to the world since the 1990s. After the fall of the Soviet Union, Cuba had to change its economic policies. It had to open up to the rest of the world. In fact, the United States is really late coming into this game, because Cuba has already opened. It's been changing economically, politically, and culturally in the past two decades through relationships with Canada and countries in Europe, Latin America, and Asia.
In terms of the future of the antiracist movement, I think it is really incredible how Afro-Cuban activists have really been able to make their movement more transnational. For example, Sandra Alvarez Ramírez, one of the women that I write about in the epilogue, runs a blog called Negra Cubana Tenía Que Ser [Black Cuban Woman I Had to Be], now lives in Germany and is doing her blog from Germany. I also know so many more Afro-Cuban activists and intellectuals who are now able to participate in international conferences that address racism and antiracist organizing. Because of the increased opportunities to travel abroad and access to the internet, I now see Afro-Cuban activists working with activists throughout the Americas, and I think that scholars and activists from the United States can become a part of that transnational conversation. However, I don't think they're going to be the ones who control it, because it's already been going on and there are so many other places that have a lot of input, too.

Q: Conditional Queries Among Multiple Tables Greetings and thank you for looking at my question, I hope you can provide some insight or direction.
I have three tables (fundamentally):  'value_meta', 'value', and 'values_visibility'.  The schema follows:
TABLE 'value_meta'

COMMENT: contains a list of different values, each referencing a different 'value' table

int id PK

tinyint value1 FK to value1.value

tinyint value2 FK to value2.value

tinyint value3 FK to value3.value

...

TABLE 'value'

COMMENT:  there are different value tables (for example, if it were for user profile data, there would be a value table for "occupation", "body type", and/or "education level"

tinyint id PK

varchar(255) value

TABLE 'value_visibility'

COMMENT:  one value visibility entry per value[n] in the 'value_meta' table, each a boolean value.  If 1, the coding query will return the value as rerefenced in 'value[n]' table.  if 0, return null
int id PK

BOOLEAN 'value1_visibility'

BOOLEAN 'value2_visibility'

BOOLEAN 'value3_visibility'

....

What I want to do is create a proper MySQL query to check "for each 'value' in 'value_meta', if corresponding value entry in 'value_visibility' is 1, display value varchar.  else return null".  By proper I want to make it most efficient (dereived tables vs. correlated subqueries, proper conditionals and function uses... I hear ISNULL is bad).
I used to be good at query building straight out of my mind back in college but after years of not using it, I've become three straws short of a full broom.  Can anyone help me?  Thanks!

A: SELECT vm.id,
    IF(vv.id IS NULL, NULL, vm1v.value) value1,
    IF(vv.id IS NULL, NULL, vm2v.value) value2,
    IF(vv.id IS NULL, NULL, vm3v.value) value3
FROM value_meta vm
    LEFT JOIN value vmv1 ON vm.value1 = vmv1.id
    LEFT JOIN value vmv2 ON vm.value1 = vmv2.id
    LEFT JOIN value vmv3 ON vm.value1 = vmv3.id
    LEFT JOIN value_visibility vv ON vm.id = vv.id AND vv.value1_visibility = 1

You should think about restructuring your value_meta table, is there a reason why you are storing value1 2 and 3 in the same row?

Henrique Castriciano de Souza (Macaíba, 15 de março de 1874 — Natal, 26 de julho de 1947) foi um escritor e político brasileiro, que serviu como o 10.º vice-presidente do Rio Grande do Norte nos mandatos dos ex-presidentes Ferreira Chaves e Melo e Sousa.

Biografia

Filho de Eloi Castriciano de Souza, comerciante e político em Macaíba, e Henriqueta Leopoldina Rodrigues, nasceu na rua do Porto (hoje Teodomiro Garcia), na então Vila de Macaíba, Rio Grande do Norte, onde viveu até 1879 quando, aos 5 anos, é acometido pela mesma tuberculose que matara o pai (com 38 anos) e a mãe (com 27 anos) nesse mesmo ano e acometera posteriormente a sua irmã, a então poetisa Auta de Souza.

A avó materna Dindinha veio em junho de 1879 buscar os cinco netos órfãos e levou-os para o Sítio do Arraial, bairro do Recife. Logo separa-se dos irmãos Eloi (o mais velho), Auta e Irineu Leão (morto num incêndio em 1887) quando seus avós, como então era costume pelas famílias de posse na época, o encaminham a bem sucedidas viagens de cura à Suíça. Retorna à Macaíba em fins de 1890, com 16 anos, já escrevendo versos. Para terminar os estudos, transfere-se para o Recife e, em 1893, parte para a vila de Angicos onde aparentemente recupera a saúde. Em 1894 parte para a Serra de Martins com a intenção de consolidar a cura.

Apesar de viver sempre estudando, formou-se muito tarde, no Rio de Janeiro, aos 30 anos de idade. A moléstia atrasou sua carreira e sua vida. Passava sempre temporadas no interior do Estado, procurando melhores ares: Nessas estadas, lia muito e escrevia versos primorosos.

Em 1892 publica em Natal seu primeiro livro de versos, Iriações, e o segundo, Ruínas, sai em Fortaleza pela Tipografia Universal em 1899, com prefácio de Rodrigues de Carvalho. No mesmo ano publica Mãe, com prefácio de Olavo Bilac.

Recebe em mãos a compilação de versos da irmã Auta de Souza sob o título de Dálias e, numa viagem ao Rio, em 1900, procura uma editora para a sua publicação. Olavo Bilac, seu amigo, aprecia a obra e se encarrega de prefaciar o livro, passando a se chamar "Horto" a pedido de Auta.

Concluiu seus estudos no Atheneu Norte Riograndense, dando início ao seu curso jurídico na Faculdade de Direito do Ceará, o qual formou-se como bacharel em 1908.

Atuação profissional
Foi secretário de governo e procurador geral do Estado. Eleito e reeleito vice-governador e investido dessas funções, preside o Congresso Legislativo do Estado.

Estimulou a criação dos Grupos de Escoteiros de Natal, sendo homenageado, em Fortaleza, Ceará, pela União dos Escoteiros do Brasil/UEB, com a entrega da medalha Cruz de São Jorge pela introdução do escotismo no Rio Grande do Norte e seus serviços prestados à educação.

Foi redator do jornal "A República" durante mais de trinta anos e Secretário durante os governos de Alberto de Albuquerque Maranhão (onde cria a lei n.º 145 de 6 de agosto de 1900, que garantia a publicação de toda e qualquer obra de cunho literário ou científico de interesse reconhecido) e Augusto Tavares de Lyra, além de vice-governador de Joaquim Ferreira Chaves e Antônio José de Melo e Sousa.

Em meados de 1909 viaja para a Europa, levando a ideia de colher informações para uma escola doméstica, destinada a valorizar o cotidiano familiar e fazê-lo no plano da integração social da mulher, elevando-a pela técnica e dignificando-a pela consciência de sua indispensabilidade produtora. Viajou através da Suíça, Itália, Portugal, Espanha, França, Grécia, Egito e Palestina.

Em uma segunda viagem, em 27 de agosto de 1913, visitou a Bélgica e a Alemanha. Sua temporada nos sanatórios da Suíça e passagem na Bélgica foi a ressurreição para Henrique. Voltou remoçado, entusiasmado com o que vira no setor da educação popular. O resultado foi a criação de uma Liga de Ensino em 1911 e a fundação da Escola Doméstica em 1914. Fez-se professor emérito e foi fundador, ao lado de eminentes coestadanos, do complexo de ensino o qual engloba a Escola Doméstica de Natal, o Colégio Henrique Castriciano e hoje a Faculdade Natalense para o Desenvolvimento do RN – FARN.

Abandonando a política, fixa-se no Rio de Janeiro, fazendo jornalismo e advocacia, Regressa ao Rio Grande do Norte em 1933, para dirigir a Secretaria do Tribunal Regional Eleitoral. Com a ditadura de Getúlio Vargas e extinta a justiça eleitoral, fica em disponibilidade. Volta ao Rio, sendo aproveitado no Tribunal de Contas. Aos 68 anos foi aposentado compulsoriamente, com ordenado de seiscentos cruzeiros mensais - muito pouco para a época.

Solteirão inveterado, já velho, após longo sofrimento de mais de dois anos, internado em hospitais de Natal, praticamente sozinho, Henrique Castriciano morre no dia 26 de julho de 1947, na cidade de Natal.

Atuação literária
Desde jovem, Castriciano revelou o seu talento literário escrevendo artigos, crônicas e poesias para diversos jornais e revistas do país, principalmente Natal. Um de seus poemas, O Aboio, é um grande nome na literatura potiguar.

Em 1903 publicou Vibrações, seu último livro de poesias, com prefácio de Clóvis Bevilacqua.

Sílvio Romero não o considerava nem parnasiano, nem nefelibata: tomava-o como poeta de transição. Alguns sonetos são nitidamente simbolistas, embora em verdade Castriciano ostente outros traços, como o decadentismo escandalizador em peças como Monólogo de um Bisturi e mesmo o parnasianismo em seus últimos instantes.

Deixou o romance Os Mortos, do qual publicou dois capítulos na revista do Centro Polímático em 1920. Anunciou, em 1931, o poema Redenção de Satã e outro romance intitulado O Tísico. Além do histórico A República, colaborou intensamente nos jornais A Notícia e O Paiz também por muitos
 1899 - Ruínas
 1899 - Mãe
 1903 - Vibrações
 1931 - Redenção de Satã (poema extenso)

Alexandru Socec (n. 17 august 1859, București - d. 31 mai 1928, București) a fost unul dintre generalii Armatei României din Primul Război Mondial.

A îndeplinit funcția de comandant de divizie în campania anului 1916 .

A fost acuzat pe nedrept de părăsire de post pe timpul Bătăliei pentru București, fiind condamnat de Tribunalul Militar la 22 ianuarie 1917 și degradat în fața trupelor pe care le-a comandat. Deși nevinovat, rămâne închis până la 3 octombrie 1918, când procesul este revizuit de Tribunalul Militar din Iași prezidat de generalul Constantin Coandă. Generalul Al. Socec a fost absolvit de toate acuzațiile nefondate în baza cărora fusese condamnat, fiind apoi reintegrat în drepturi și onoruri.

Biografie
Alexandru Socec s-a născut în anul 1859, la București. Tatăl său a fost celebrul librar și editor Ioan V. Socec, originar din Săcele, refugiat în București în 1848, în urma participării la Revoluția de la 1848.

A urmat liceul în Germania, la Leipzig pe care l-a absolvit în 1877. Din 1877 pânâ în 1880 face o lungă călătorie de plăcere la Viena, Dresda, Paris, Nisa și Monte Carlo. Revenit în țară se înscrie la Școala de subofițeri de la Mănăstirea Dealu, în urma absolvirii căreia va fi avansat la gradul de sublocotenent în 1883.

În 1885 se căsătorește la Viena cu Susie Harlan Price (n.1860 sau 1862,în Wilmington, Delaware), o americană pe care o cunoscuse în Franța. În urma decesului acesteia în 1914, se va recăsători în anul 1917, la Iași (în închisoare), cu Smaranda (n. 1880).

Cariera militară
După absolvirea școlii militare de ofițeri cu gradul de sublocotenent, Alexandru Socec a ocupat diferite poziții în cadrul unităților de cavalerie sau în eșaloanele superioare ale armatei, cele mai importante fiind cele de comandant al Regimentului 9 Roșiori sau comandant al Corpului 3 Teritorial.

În perioada Primului Război Mondial, îndeplinit funcțiile de comandant al Diviziei 3 Infanterie, în perioada 27 august 1916 - 3 septembrie 1916 și comandant al Diviziei 2 Infanterie, în perioada 3 septembrie 1916 - 8 decembrie 1916.

Chrissy Teigen, queen of Twitter, managed to break the Internet this week after fans begun sharing her recipe for 'Fluffy Popovers'.
'What are they?' You might be wondering….
Well, they look awfully similar to Yorkshire Puddings, and that's where the confusion all begun.
Posting a picture online from the model's new book Cravings: Hungry For More, one fan wrote: "I've just found out that @chrissyteigen has renamed Yorkshire Puddings to Fluffy Popovers. Why?!"
To which Chrissy replied: "I didn't, we call them popovers, but you look like you want some drama so go for it – just don't tag me next time thanks!"
And, just like that, Twitter went wild.
"Chrissy, I love and respect u but they are yorkshire puddings," wrote one of her followers in retaliation.
While another penned: "Just had to unfollow chrissy teigen for blasphemy over Yorkshire puddings & i'm surprised how intensely I feel about this".
A third chipped in: "They're Yorkshire puddings for crying out loud".
Chrissy was bombarded with angry responses from Brits (Credit: PA)
While there was a hell of a lot of uproar about Chrissy's recipe – and she even had to mute the Twitter thread where it was all kicking off – it soon became apparent that it was all a bit of a fuss over nothing.
As many Twitter users pointed out, Chrissy didn't rename Yorkshire Puddings, but was instead referring to a US recipe, which is rather similar, but not exactly the same.
A Popover has a similar batter to a Yorkshire Pudding (essentially eggs, flour, and milk or water), but the difference comes in how they are prepared.
Brits will defend Yorkshire Puddings until the very end (Credit: PA)
The American recipe is usually cooked in a 'Popover pan' or a muffin tin – like Chrissy's was. Meanwhile, a Yorkshire Pudding is traditionally baked in a pan, which has been heavily greased with beef fat.
The other difference is that Yorkshire Puddings are savoury, and consumed almost exclusively alongside a roast dinner to mop up meat and gravy, meanwhile, Popovers can be enjoyed savoury or sweet (Chrissy likes them with melted brie and blackberry jam. Mmmm).
Call them what you want – they both sound pretty dreamy.
Alert! This is NOT A DRILL. Sir David Attenborough has officially got himself an Instagram account. Yep, the legendary 94-year-old nature documentarian and conservationist has created a profile on the social media platform ahead of the release of his new Netflix documentary A Life On Our Planet.
Supermodel Gigi Hadid and singer Zayn Malik have welcomed their first baby.Sharing the news on Instagram, model Gigi wrote: "Our girl joined us earth-side this weekend and she's already changed our world. So in love".
It looks like Laura Whitmore has been missing Love Island just as much as us this year, after she revealed to Tyla that she's been binge-watching the juicy old seasons during lockdown.
Marnie Simpson has opened up about what it's like to live with the severe pain caused from a chronic urinary tract infection.

Brundlefly
I'm an insect who dreamt he was a man and loved it. But now the dream is over – and the insect is awake.
Screenwriter Charles Edward Pogue first approached producer Stuart Cornfield to produce a remake of The Fly, one of the most influential science-fiction films of the 1950s. The core concept the two agreed on was to have a progressive transformation, as opposed to a sudden one. Cornfield told Cinefex: "when Chuck Pogue came into my office and said he wanted to remake The Fly, we screened the original film and decided a straight remake wouldn't be as interesting as a change of the basic premise from a head-switching to a metamorphosis." From there, Pogue's pitch evolved around an introvert scientist having to deal with the progressive corruption and transformation of his body into that of a monstrous hybrid of man and fly. This idea was influenced by David Lynch's The Elephant Man, as well as Jean Cocteau's Beauty and the Beast, two films that dealt with the contrast between the 'inner man' and the 'outer appearance'.

Son of Brundle
Having been at the helm of the gruesome special effects of Cronenberg's The Fly, Chris Walas not only decided to attach himself the sequel, but to direct it — assuring to confine the expenses within the same budget of the first film ($12 million) but with more action involving the monstrous creature. A sequel "in the class of Aliens," as producer Steven-Charles Jaffe told Cinefex. The role of director restrained Walas from collaborating extensively in the special effects department, or at least not as much as he would have wished. He recalled: "design has always been the most satisfying and enjoyable phase of my work, and here I was basically delegating that aspect to my colleagues while I figured out the logistics of the shooting schedules. I visited my studio occasionally — and it got to the point where I regarded my two-day stays there as a vacation because I could sit down and push some clay around."

Vermithrax Pejorative
By the early 80s, spanning from The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad to The Brothers Lionheart, there was an ostensible lack of iconic dragon villains in motion pictures. Audiences had yet to see a fire-breathing beast that would terrify them — and this was the objective Hal Barwood and Matthew Robbins set for themselves: they wanted to create a memorable, formidable dragon using the most advanced among the available technologies. The duo thus embarked in what would become a quest to bring to the silver screen a monster audiences would never forget.

Huge-Pink-Bird music meets Mithrillica in a cornucopia of lute-centric music. Come dance!
This delightful music was created by Rory and Gaby, a minstrel couple from a faraway land where they eat Mushrooms wrapped in pancakes and flavoured with the hottest peppers, so the music is accordingly fiery. And it's me and Miz Bilbeto – now and then assisted by a friend or two - who'll play it for you! I know we're not playing lute in the painting, which is from this spring's Black Salad Day, but we will be luting on the 29th.

ENFEN, the Peruvian institution researching El Nino, maintains its projection of weak to moderate warm conditions off the coast of Peru for the next two months.
A further forecast would require a "crystal ball", Grinia Avalos, climatology director at Senamhi — the National Service of Meteorology researching along with ENFEN — told Undercurrent News.
"We speak about an El Nino off the coast of Peru for the next two months still evolving, that started by end of April and with several consecutive weeks of warm conditions," said Avalos.
Beyond these two months, forecasts are based on probabilities — 70% likelihood of the event occurring during Northern Hemisphere summer and 80% for fall and winter, according to NOAA's climate prediction center (NCEP).
Although the intensity of El Nino by year's end cannot be predicted yet, ENFEN said there are not strong, solid elements so far to determine whether El Nino will be extraordinary by the end of 2014.
"But we cannot rule out a major event 100%," Avalos said.
Unlike NOAA, which focuses on the central Pacific area (3.4 region), ENFEN gathers data of El Nino 1+2 region to determine water and air temperatures in the coast of Peru.
In its latest report — based on data gathered during the first two weeks of June — ENFEN did not include the latest developments of last week, whena sudden jump in water temperaturesprompted expectations of an upward warming trend that would confirm the development of El Nino.
On June 20, sea surface temperature anomalies in the Nino 3.4 region showed the highest value of the year at +0.9ºC.
This drastic increase of water temperatures in the equatorial Pacific Ocean encouraged projections of an upward warming trend confirming the development of El Nino, according to the oceanic scientist Luis Icochea.
"This is a big jump in temperature; from now on waters will hardly be cooled, the event is irreversible," Icochea told Undercurrent last week.
These sea surface anomalies could reach the Peruvian coast or not, Avalos explained, since there are several possible scenarios for El Nino in the Eastern Pacific.
"It is very likely a scenario in which El Nino develops in the central Pacific rather than in the eastern Pacific, where the probability is lower," Avalos said.
Next week ENFEN's researchers will meet to discuss the developments of the last 15 days and, by the end of the week, the latest update of the research body's report is expected to be released.

Fry the bacon crispy. Then grill the burger patties and the brioche buns.
Place the bacon on the patties and melt the cheddar over the patty. You can do this under a salamander or by using a gas-burner.
Assemble the burger by spreading some of CHEF Black Garlic Paste mayonnaise on the bun and build it up together with ketchup, salad, patties and pickled onions and finish with the bun.
Serve with French fries and using the remainder, an extra side potion of the CHEF Signature Black Garlic Paste mayonnaise.
Why not serve the Black garlic pure in the burger as a seasoning.

I have to admit that, until recently, I hadn't paid enough attention to Jesse Malin's solo material. I've owned records by his first band, Heart Attack, for many years and was well-aware of D-Generation, but for some reason just never got around to properly checking out his own albums. This changed at the beginning of this year when I received an advance-copy of his latest LP, 'New York Before The War' and attended his low-key acoustic set at The Social in London. Although musically something of a departure from his earlier output, 'New York Before The War' certainly contains just as much passion and intent as his previous bands, but chooses to present it in different, varied tones and tempos, from the upbeat 'Addicted' through to the raw tale of 'Bar Life'. Seeing the songs performed live added a whole other dimension, with Jesse serving as entertainer and raconteur alongside the musical accomplishment. It was this performance that truly won me over and, ever-since, my opinion of the album has only increased.
Jesse returned to the UK to tour with his full band in May, and with help from the ever-dependable Tones at One Little Indian, I was able to set-up an interview before his gig at The Dome in Tufnell Park. I arrived to discover the band running late, due to sound-check problems, but once everything is sorted, I'm introduced to Jesse and we get straight into the interrogation.
Being that young, did you have a lot of support from your family ?
There was quite a long gap between when Heart Attack ended (1984) and when D-Generation formed, in 1991. I can't imagine that you weren't playing music at all during that time ?
D-Generation seemed to be the band that had a lot of critical acclaim but never achieved the success that everyone expected you to have ?
You kinda spoke about this already, but I wondered if, when you started working on solo material, did you see that as an opportunity to work away from the confines of a band ?
One of the things you talked about at the acoustic show was the fact that people keep asking you about the title of the new album, 'New York Before The War'. Do you like the fact that people seem to be reading so many different things into that phrase ?
'I've always liked the way people like Tom Waits have used piano on their things. Or even the older Elton John records, when it was still angry but also had those great Pop melodies. I've always liked piano, but I don't like it when it gets too… fruity. And I don't mean that as in 'gay', I just mean fruity as in 'camp'.
You have several guests making appearances on the album, Wayne Kramer and Peter Buck being two of them. Did you already know those guys ?

Gandhi evoked for all manner of causes
Two major nonviolent protests this week in India are being used by both the left and right.
By Scott Baldauf Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor
April 6, 2006 | NEW DELHI
She lies on the sidewalk, fanned by supporters, surrounded by TV cameras, fasting to death to protest the displacement of some 35,000 peasant families by a major dam project.
He leads a march of Hindu nationalists across northern India to protest the government's "appeasement" of minorities, especially Muslims.
Their causes couldn't be more ideologically different. Medha Patkar is a left-leaning activist who has spent 20 years trying to prevent construction of India's largest dam project. L.K. Advani is a former Indian deputy prime minister who led a mob that tore down a 500-year-old mosque in 1992, an act that set off riots that killed thousands.
But their common technique of nonviolent protest - seen this week in a Delhi hunger strike and a protest march starting in the western state of Gujarat respectively - serves as a reminder that the trappings of the Gandhian freedom movement, and occasionally the spirit, are alive and well.
Even as India grows into a 21st-century power - striking nuclear deals with America and wooing the world's biggest corporations - the nation still is often judged against the spirit of Mohandas Gandhi, its colonial-era founding father. And if critics are often quick to point out where modern India falls short in that comparison, they might put some of the blame on Mr. Gandhi himself.
"The weakness of Gandhi was that he never thought of institutions," says Pratap Bhanu Mehta, director of the Center for Policy Research in New Delhi. "His interest was the condition of the conscience" and to establish a link between the individual conscience and the policies of society.
It is difficult for a nonviolent resistance movement to maintain momentum over time, Mr. Mehta says, particularly in a country like India that has established its own native systems of law and government. Nobody likes to fight against himself.
Yet since the mid-1980s, the Narmada Bachao Andolan (Committee to Save the Narmada) has fought an Olympian struggle against four state governments to halt the construction of dams along the Narmada River. The dam was intended to bring electricity and water to four states.
Andolan founder Medha Patkar, backed by celebrities such as novelist Arundhati Roy, have marched the length of the Narmada River and succeeded in forcing the government to focus on the plight of displaced farmers, many of them members of India's disadvantaged tribes. It was the Andolan's protests that forced the World Bank to withdraw support for the Narmada project, in part because of the human cost of displacement.
In 100-degree heat, Ms. Patkar began her eighth day of fasting on Wednesday, visited by former Prime Minister V.P. Singh, who begged her to end her fast as her health deteriorated. Patkar says she will continue her strike until the government publishes its plan to rehabilitate displaced families in the Narmada region.
"Villages have been submerged, a lot of the discussion is happening [ex] post-facto," admits Ananya Vajpeyi, a fellow at the Nehru Memorial Museum in New Delhi, who sat on a sidewalk near the hunger strikers to show solidarity. "But what Medha is saying is, 'Let's minimize the damage.'
"It's not hopeless. That is the nature of dissent. You have to keep going. The people here," she says, pointing to villagers from the Narmada region sitting nearby, "for them, any house saved, any livelihood saved is better than nothing."
In another part of the capital, former Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee saw off fellow members of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Advani and party president Rajnath Singh, in their twin protest marches. Mr. Advani's march will begin Thursday in Gujarat; Mr. Singh's march will begin in the eastern state of Orissa - the two marches will converge in Delhi on May 10.
Called a national integration pilgrimage, the marches are aimed to protest at the Congress government's policies to increase the number of Muslims in the Indian armed forces, and its supposed "soft approach" toward jihadi terrorist groups, including the group that set off blasts in the city of Varanasi, a site revered by Hindus.
"The politics of 'minorityism,' if unchecked, will prove a disaster for the Indian Nation," Advani said at a Tuesday press conference in Delhi. "Far from helping the minorities, it actually undermines their development and well-being."
Prakash Upadhaya, a fellow at Nehru Memorial Museum, warns that Advani's protest march could set off violence from Indians angry over other matters, such as the lack of economic growth in rural areas. "People have anger, and anger does not have an alternative," he says. "If the BJP fills a vacuum, that is a great danger." Previous marches, coupled by rhetoric against minorities, have sparked deadly rioting in the past from elements of the Hindu majority against minorities like Muslims.
Gandhians like Patkar say that seeing other parties adopt the trappings of Gandhianism is frustrating, and seeing a government built on nonviolence work against the cause of the Narmada region's displaced poor is depressing.
Activists say the best judge of whether a project is worthwhile is the Mahatma himself. "Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen and ask yourself if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him," Gandhi wrote in his memoirs. "Will he gain anything by it? Will it restore him to a control over his own life and destiny? Then you will find your doubts and your self melting away."
"This matter is not going to succeed in this environment, but we will go on fighting," says N.K. Afandi of the Jamaat-e Islami Hind, an Islamic political party. "We, especially in the Islamic movement, have to join [Patkar], because we see her struggling for the destitute, for the weak."
