There the German victory came when German general Hermann von François disobeyed orders and attacked the Russian flank.
Hindenburg then turned his army north to attack the Russian First Army at the Masurian Lakes in September.
François played a major part in this second victory when his First Corps forced back the Russian flank.
Under their general, Paul von Rennenkampf, the Russians dug in.
He made use of the lakes, rivers and other natural obstacles.
Hindenburg used frontal attacks to hold the Russians while his armies tried to surround the Russian trenches.
Using a counterattack to hide his movements, Rennenkampf moved his army back to prevent them being surrounded.
Over a period of several days the Russian army lost ground.
The Russians fought hard but were driven back to the Russian border.
Rennenkampf kept his troops in good order as they retreated.
The aftermath
The loss of 125,000 soldiers did little damage to the  800,00 -man Russian Army.
But it also meant a loss of about 150 artillery cannons.
At the time these were very valuable for the old Russian army.
The Germans also had heavy casualties.
This showed the German advantage of their modern rail system for supplying and arming their soldiers.
But, the push made by the Germans into Russia caused their defeat at the Battle of Augustov.
The victories at Tannenberg and Masurian Lakes made Hindenburg a hero in Germany.
As a result of his fame, in 1916 he became Chief of the German Staff.

The 2014 Hong Kong protests, also known as the Umbrella Revolution, are a series of protests in Hong Kong that started on 27 September 2014.
They are protesting against the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress' (NPCSC) decision on the proposed electoral reform for the planned 2017 Hong Kong Chief Executive election.
The NPCSC would need a nomination committee to pre-approve up to three electoral candidates before they go on to a vote that involves the general population.
After the election, the Chief Executive-elect still has to be formally appointed by the central government before they can officially take their post.
The student groups Hong Kong Federation of Students and Scholarism started protesting outside of the government headquarters on the 22 September, 2014.
During the evening of 26 September, there were a group of several hundred demonstrators that broke through a security barrier and had entered the plaza in front of the Central Government Complex.
The police then closed off and blockaded it overnight.
This caused more protesters to join and surround the police.
The standoff between the protesters and police lasted for a day, during which the police started attacking unarmed protesters with shields, batons, and pepper spray.
The movement Occupy Central with Love and Peace announced that they would start their civil disobedience campaign with starting immediately.

At the beginning of Stephen King's career, the general view among publishers was that an author was limited to one book per year.
They thought publishing more would not be seen as good to the public.
King wanted to write under another name so he could write more than one book per year.
His publisher, Signet Books, agreed to print more books under a pseudonym.
In the start of The Bachman Books, King said using the nom de plume Bachman was to see if his success was due to talent or luck.
King said he put out the Bachman books with very little marketing.
He did his best to "load the dice against" Bachman.
King never found the answer to the "talent versus luck" question.
He said he let everyone know that he was Bachman too soon.
The Bachman book Thinner (1984) sold 28,000 copies during its first printing.
When it was told that King wrote the book, the sales went up by ten times.
The pseudonym King first picked (Gus Pillsbury) is the name of King's mother's grandfather.
At the last moment King changed the name to Richard Bachman.
Richard is the same as crime author Donald E. Westlake's pseudonym Richard Stark. (
The last name Stark was later used in King's book The Dark Half.
Bachman was picked from Bachman–Turner Overdrive, a rock and roll band King was listening to at the time his publisher asked him to choose a pseudonym on the spot.
King dedicated Bachman's early books — Rage (1977), The Long Walk (1979), Roadwork (1981), and The Running Man (1982) — to people close to him.
The link between King and his shadow writer was found out after a Washington, D.C. bookstore clerk, Steve Brown, noted things that seemed the same between the writing styles of King and Bachman.
Brown located publisher's records at the Library of Congress which included a document naming King as the author of one of Bachman's novels.
Brown wrote to King's publishers with a copy of the papers he found.
He asked them what to do.
Two weeks later, King telephoned Brown himself.
King told Brown that he should write an article about how he found the truth.
King let Brown interview him.
At the time of the announcement in 1985, King was working on Misery, which he was going to put out as a Bachman book.
Post-outing
In 1987, the Bachman novel The Running Man gave the idea for the Paul Glaser movie of the same name.
King did not want his name to be on the credits.
The screen credit for the movie went to Richard Bachman.
King used the "relationship" between himself and Bachman as a theme in his 1989 book The Dark Half.
In the book a writer's darker pseudonym takes on a life of its own.
King dedicated The Dark Half to "the late Richard Bachman."
There were plans to make the book a collaboration between the two, but this was later thrown out.
In 1996, Bachman's The Regulators came out, with the publishers saying the book's manuscript was found among Bachman's leftover papers by his widow.
It was released as a companion novel with King's Desperation; the two novels took place in different universes but featured many of the same characters.
The two book covers were designed to be placed together to form a single picture.
In the foreword by King included with Desperation he said that there may be another Bachman novel left to be "found."
The next Bachman book to be 'discovered' was Blaze.
Blaze was an unpublished novel that King wrote before Carrie or the creation of Richard Bachman.
For its publication King rewrote, edited, and updated the entire book.
It was published in 2007 under the Bachman pseudonym, with a foreword by King under his own name.
King has taken full ownership of the Bachman name on numerous occasions, as with the republication of the first four Bachman titles as The Bachman Books: Four Early Novels by Stephen King in 1985.
The introduction, titled "Why I Was Bachman," details the whole Bachman/King story. (
In 1996, the collection was reissued with a new King essay, "The Importance of Being Bachman.")
Richard Bachman was also referred to in Stephen King's The Dark Tower series of books.
In the fifth book, Wolves of the Calla, the scary children's book Charlie the Choo Choo is said to be written by "Claudia y Inez Bachman."
The spelling discrepancy of the added 'y' was later explained as a deus ex machina on the part of "The White" (a force of good throughout King's Tower series) to bring the total number of letters in her name to nineteen, a number prominent in King's series.
In the next novel of the series, Song of Susannah, Stephen King briefly discusses his Richard Bachman pseudonym.
After the Heath High School shooting, King announced that he would allow Rage to go out of print.
He feared that it might inspire similar tragedies.
Rage for a time continued to be available in the United Kingdom in The Bachman Books collection.
Now the collection no longer has Rage.
In a footnote to the preface of Blaze, dated 30 January 2007, King wrote of Rage: "Now out of print, and a good thing."
King's other Bachman novels are available in the US in separate volumes.
In 2010, King appeared on the FX television show Sons of Anarchy in a cameo appearance.
His character, named Bachman, did contract work quietly getting rid of dead bodies.
In issue 29 of the comic adaptation of The Stand, Richard Bachman appears as one of the top lieutenants of Randall Flagg.
He replaced the character of Whitney Horgan from the original book.
He is drawn to look like King.
In the 2013 Grimm episode "Nameless", Richard Bachman, being a pseudonym of Stephen King, was a plot point.
King's novel, Rage, had its title page used as a prop for the killer to write a note to the police.

King wrote a short story, "The Fifth Quarter", under the pseudonym John Swithen (the name of a character in the book Carrie), that was published in Cavalier magazine April 1972.
The story was later reprinted in King's collection Nightmares & Dreamscapes in 1993 under his own name.
In the introduction to the Bachman novel Blaze, King claims, with tongue-in-cheek, that "Bachman" was the person using the Swithen pseudonym .

He was joined by other writers such as Gustave Flaubert, and Alphonse Daudet.
An acidophile is an extremophile organism which thrives in extremely acidic conditions.
What "acidic" usually means here is environments at pH 2.0 or below.
These organisms can be found in different branches of the tree of life, including Archaea, Bacteria, and a few eukaryotes.
Inside the organisms, their cells are at a normal pH. They have evolved mechanisms which pump protons (H+) out of the intracellular space in order to keep the cytoplasm at or near neutral pH.
An alkaliphile is an organism that lives and grows well in extremely alkaline conditions that are harmful to most life on Earth.
To be considered an alkaliphile, the organism must have optimal growth in environments with a pH level of 9.0 or above.
Surviving and growing in an environment that has a high pH level is very difficult.
Many processes in the cell are blocked by high pH levels.
Alkaline conditions change DNA, and make the plasma membrane of the cell unstable.
Alkaliphiles have two basic methods of dealing with these problems: Either they have a way of making the environment more acidic, or they have adapted the cellular processes, so that they work best in highly alkaline conditions.
To find out which of the two mechanisms a specific organism uses, experiments are needed.

A counterattack is a tactic used in response to an attack.
The modern term became popular in "war games".
The purpose is to neutralize or stop the advantage gained by an enemy during an attack.
At the same time it is used to regain lost ground or destroy the attacking enemy.
A counterattack depends on surprise, speed, and doing what the enemy does not expect.
To be most effective it needs to be launched before an enemy has time to get organized and has not yet strengthened his new position.
The Chinese general and strategist Sun Tzu (544 BC – 496 BC) is the earliest writer who mentioned the advantages of a bold counterattack.
Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi (28 July 1971 – 26 October 2019) was an Iraqi terrorist and politician.

On , the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights was quoted by Reuters and AFP as saying that it had "confirmed information" that al-Baghdadi has been killed by a Russian airstrike in Syria sometime in June 2017 at the either age of 45.
However, on 28 September 2017, Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant released a 46-minute audio recording of al-Baghdadi in which he refers to events that had happened since the death rumors, including North Korean threats against Japan and United States and the recapture of Mosul by U.S. backed Iraqi forces in July.
On 26 October 2019, Baghdadi killed himself by detonating a suicide vest during a United States special operations raid in Syria's northwestern Idlib province  in a village called Barisha.
This is confirmed by US President Donald Trump at 9am EST (1300 GMT).
Suicide in 2019
Sacrifice (2009) was a professional wrestling pay-per-view show made by Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA).
It was held on May 24, 2009 at the TNA Impact!
It was the fifth Sacrifice event that TNA held.
The main event was known as the Four Way Ultimate Sacrifice match, which was between TNA World Heavyweight Champion, Mick Foley, against Sting, Kurt Angle, and Jeff Jarrett.
Each of the competitors in the match wagered an important aspect of their career: Foley's title, Sting's career, Angle's leadership of the Main Event Mafia, and Jarrett's shares in the company.
Two other important matches saw A.J. Styles retaining the TNA Legends Championship against Booker T in an "I Quit" match and Beer Money, Inc. defeating The British Invasion to win the "Team 3D Invitational Tag Team Tournament".
Sacrifice gained positive reviews.
Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter thought that the show, "overachieved".
Melzer gave attention to the "Team 3D Invitational Tag Team Tournament" finals match and the "I Quit" match.
The only thing he criticized was some of the illogical booking tactics that were made by the company.
James Caldwell of the Pro Wrestling Torch also gave the event a good review but criticized the show in a number of spots, mainly the "I Quit" match: "Best match of the PPV until the finish with Sharmell-Jenna continuing their feud on PPV TV.
Keep it on free TV (if TNA is so adamant about continuing this), but don't put that dumb storyline on pay TV.
As usual, TNA tries to find a way out of a stipulation.
Sucks to rant on that, because the match was awesome and one of Booker's best performances in years."
The pincer movement, or double envelopment, is a tactic in which forces attack both flanks (sides) of an enemy formation at the same time.
The pincer movement can be used when opposing forces advance towards the center of an army.
That army responds by moving its outside forces to the enemy's flanks to surround it.
At the same time, a second layer of pincers may attack on the more distant flanks to cut off the enemy reinforcements.
A full pincer movement leads to the attacking army facing the enemy in front, on both flanks, and in the rear.
Such battles often end in surrender or destruction of the enemy force.
The encircled force can try to break out or counterattack.
A successful flanking maneuver can be difficult to accomplish.
Sun Tzu, in The Art of War, talked about the maneuver.
But he made the point to leave a surrounded enemy an escape route.
Otherwise, faced with death, a surrounded enemy would fight much harder.
This advice seems to have been followed by General George Patton when his sweeping pincer movement trapped the German army in the Falaise pocket in August 1944.
The maneuver may have first been used at the Battle of Marathon in 490 BC.
The historian Herodotus describes how the Athenian general Miltiades used it.
During the battle, the weaker central formations retreated.
this allowed the wings to come together behind the Persian battle line.
It drove the Persians to retreat in panic.
A famous example is at the Battle of Cannae in 216 BC by Hannibal.
Military historians view this as one of the greater battlefield maneuvers in history.
It was a favorite tactic used by Charlemagne against his enemies.
He routinely divided his command into two armies in order to trap his enemy between them.
Daniel Morgan used it effectively  at the Battle of Cowpens in 1781 in South Carolina.
The British troops thought Morgan's men were retreating and charged right into the trap.
Flanking maneuvers were a major part of the German blitzkrieg during World War II.
It involved fast movement by tanks, artillery and aircraft to overwhelm their enemies.
Pincer Movement
Riding sidesaddle is a type of horseback riding.
Sidesaddle riding uses a special saddle.
This saddle allows the rider to sit 'aside' rather than 'astride' a horse.
Astride means the rider's legs are opened with one leg on each side of the horse.
In sidesaddle, the rider's legs are basically closed and both legs are on the same side of the horse.
Girls and women mostly ride sidesaddle.
Riding sidesaddle allows them to use a modest posture while showing off their nicest riding habits.
There are two categories for competition, Junior and Senior classes.
Women sitting aside a horse to ride began in ancient history.
It later became popular in European countries in the Middle Ages.
This gave women wearing skirts a way to ride a horse in a modest way while also wearing their fancy clothes.
It is still popular  with some modern riders.
The Battle of Valverde was an American Civil War battle fought from February 20 to February 21, 1862.
It was fought near the present day town of Valverde, New Mexico.

The Confederate cavalry from Texas and several companies of Arizona militia fought Union Army regulars and Union volunteers from northern New Mexico and Colorado.
Colonel Kit Carson commanded the 1st New Mexico (Union) Infantry.
Characterization is the idea of making characters for a narrative.
It is a literary element and may be used in dramatic works of art or everyday conversation.
Characters can be shown by description.

A literary element is a part of books and stories of narrative fiction.
It is kind of verbal storytelling.
It can be found in any written or spoken narrative.
This is different than literary techniques.
For example, plot, theme, and tone are literary elements.
Figurative language, irony, or foreshadowing are literary techniques.
Literary elements help in the discussion and understanding of a work of literature as basic categories of critical analysis; literary elements could be said to be made by the readers of a work just as much as they are produced by its author.
They are a kind of literary education at the primary and secondary level.
A set of terms often appear in a school's student evaluations.
For example, the New York State Comprehensive English Regents Examinations make students use and talk about literary elements relating to works in each of the two essays.
A narrative is a literary term for the events that make up a story.
It is the way the events connect and make up the plot of a story or book.
A common term for narrative is plot.
