As I crossed the street I bumped into these two friends who were standing in the corner of the street talking.
I instantly heard myself pop the question to the girl with the blue hair.
"May I make a photo of you? I really like your hair."
"Well, sure..." she looked quite surprised, but amused, somehow.
I introduced myself, told her briefly about my project, made a couple of shots and then asked her friend to join in for a double portrait.
Jutta and Venla are studying to become midwives. Such a wonderful profession, I think. They still have 3 1/2 years to go, but they love every bit of it.
It was so refreshing talking to them and making their portraits. I really enjoyed this most spontaneous connection.
I'll be sending these pictures to Jutta who will forward them to Venla as well. (I already did)
Good luck in your studies, girls, and thank you very much :-)

For 15 days, from March 16 to my birthday, March 31, I am planning to answer questions given to me by the viewers of this photostream. I am copying my friend Todd, who is doing it on Flickr and his blog on live journal. I think it’ll be fun, and interesting, hopefully others will think so, too.
Question #6: What is your favorite food?
I do not have a single favorite food. Obviously, I like to eat, and different things strike my fancy at different times.
Savory: I love Mexican food, beef fajitas in particular, plus chile relleños, tosadas, enchiladas, carne asada, and the quasi Mexican foods tamale pie and chile con carne. One of my real favorites is a totally American dish called “Mock Enchilada Casserole,” which my mom made for us in the 60s and 70s, with layers of tortillas (or corn chips), cheese, chiles, olives, onions and peppers. I still make it to great acclaim. I don’t have the recipe for her 1950s style enchiladas though, which as a kid I used to ask for for my birthday dinner because they were my favorite. They were fairly simple: ground beef, onions, black olives (except the ones for my brother, who HATES olives to this day), cheese, enchilada sauce rolled up in corn tortillas. I should try to make them and see if I can come close. Hmmm....
I also love American staples such as hamburgers, hot dogs, meat loaf, pot roast, stew, sloppy joes, potato salad macaroni salad, cole slaw, etc. BBQ sauce and shredded pork sandwiches. I adore Cobb salads, and tuna salad sandwiches. Chicken noodle soup. Pork and beans. Boston baked beans. Sourdough french bread. I love turkey at Thanksgiving, along with stuffing, dressing, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes and gravy, plus the family dishes I still make every Thanksgiving and Christmas, a chili-like “Portuguese beans,” and a molded cranberry-raspberry salad with walnuts. Yum!!
Growing up in a Portuguese family, I also love some Portuguese foods, like the sausage linguiça, the eggy bread known as “Sweet Bread” (King’s Hawaiian Bread is really Portuguese sweet bread). My grandmother made a soup out of stock, beans, potatoes and fennel stems and leaves. We called it “funge soup” and it defines comfort food for me.
Italian food is almost always welcome. Not only for pizza, but I love pastas, with alfredo sauce or any of the various tomato sauces, and chopped antipasto salads, crisp warm bread with garlic and olive oil. I love salami and eat way too much of it.
I like white fish of various sorts (orange roughy, halibut, talapia, etc), shrimp and scallops, but most fish is too “fishy” for me.
I like Chinese food, too (well, Chinese food from American restaurants: kung pao chicken, sweet and sour pork, Mongolian beef, beef and broccoli, orange chicken, fried rice. And I will try other things.
As for vegetables, I find that I do not eat them as much as I like them. I like salads, but I am too lazy to make them most of the time. I like lettuce with deep green leaves, celery, onions, carrots, and tomatoes (I know it is a fruit). Other vegetables I like include broccoli, cauliflower (mashed it makes a great alternative to mashed potatoes), brussels sprouts, spinach, string beans and peas.
Breakfast foods: bacon, EGGS! Omelets (especially with chorizo), pancakes, oats, maple syrup, toast, hash browns, cranberry/raspberry juice, orange juice, grape juice.
British foods- I like meat pies, shepherd pies, and the like, if they have only beef and not lamb or mutton.
Junk foods: I love potato chips, corn chips, tortilla chips with salsa and/or guacamole, Cheetos, cheese crackers, Ritz crackers. McDonalds Big Macs, french fries; Jack ‘n the Box ‘s “Bacon Cheeseburger Deluxe” with curly fries; Del Taco’s Macho Beef Burrito or the Taco Salad or the Chicken Spicy Jack Quesadilla or the steak Tacos del Carbon.
I am sure that I am forgetting a lot of things, but you get the idea. I like a lot of stuff that is BAD for me.
Sweet: Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate! In candy, puddings, cake (in fact, if I had to pin it down to one food, I would have to say “double fudge angel food cake with chocolate frosting”), brownies, ice cream, milk shakes, cream pies and cheesecake. My favorite candy is the See’s candy with chocolate cream inside a dark chocolate casing- hmm maybe I should buy myself a pound for my birthday...
But I also love berries: raspberries, boysenberries, and their family. I like them in cobblers, pies, tarts and whatever. And cherries, too, and apricot pie. Also pumpkin pie in its season, and apple pie (if it is well-made), and pecan pie.
I like lemon, too- lemon meringue pie, lemon cream pie, lemon “surprise” cake (another specialty from my childhood I have learned to make for myself), lemon drops, lemon cookies,etc.
Two bar cookies I have made for many years during the holidays from old family recipes are “Congo Bars” (there is a long story about those- if you are interested, ask me), which is a blond brownie with chocolate chips, and “Turtle Brownies,” which are made from caramels and German chocolate cake mix and are AMAZING. And I love Toll House chocolate chip cookies, like Mom used to make!!!
Fruits: I am not a big eater of fruits- I like bananas well enough, but rarely buy o eat them. I like apples too, but rarely buy them for myself. I don’t dislike oranges, but it is too hard to get to them.
Drinks: my favorite alcoholic drink BY FAR is a “regular Margarita, blended, with salt.” I drink beer and crave it on a hot summer day, and love a nice white or red wine. I admit to being crass and like a wine cooler sometimes, too. As for regular drinks, right now my drink of choice is Crystal Lite pink lemonade, but I move from one favorite to another. I also like caffeine free Diet Coke, Diet 7-Up, Diet Orange (if it is good, and not ghastly, like Shasta soda- made in Hayward, my home town, but ghastly nonetheless), and diet fruit punch, which was my last favorite and I consumed gallons of it in 2007 and 2008. I like cold waer, too, but I forget to drink it most of the time. As for coffee, I like it but rarely drink it anymore- sometimes I have iced coffee from Starbucks in the summer and “venti decaf caramel machiattos” when it is cold. I love tea and make a pot of it often in cold weather.
Very little of this is available to me on the Paleolithic Diet, which my nutritionist urged me to adopt when I was seeing him. I struggled with it and even failing often I managed to drop nearly 80 pounds in two years. It’s a diet that stresses that we ate the way our ancestors ate before the world was cultivated- the kinds of foods we are genetically programmed to eat, not the grains and highly chemical laden and processed food we are used to in modern civilization. But that’s another topic, and someone could ask me about that- I would be happy to proselytize about it!!
“The answers are within…but what are the questions??”
This is my second picture for the theme “The answers are within.” This time Playful Raindrops strikes a pose in a chalkboard flat lay. I’m glad I’ve finally been able to use the “?” box, which I’ve had for a long time.
In a world marked by turmoil and discord, my heart aches for the millions of innocent children who endure suffering in its many agonising forms. I stand unaffiliated with any group, my only allegiance is to the universal cause of humanity. It is an agonising paradox that children, the embodiment of hope and purity, are forced to bear the weight of wars, persecution, cruelty and famine.
Why must children suffer? This question echoes in my soul, for their pain is an indictment of our collective failure to protect the most vulnerable amongst us. In these times of chaos, it is imperative that we unite not by ideology, but by empathy, to alleviate their anguish.
Let us, as global citizens, rally together in the name of compassion and empathy. Let us champion the cause of these suffering children, not as members of conflicting factions, but as guardians of the human spirit. For their sake, let us work tirelessly to build a world where the cries of children are replaced by the laughter of innocence, where their dreams are nurtured, and their future is safeguarded. Our solidarity in the face of their suffering is the true testament of our shared humanity.
"Sophie Shapiro's painting Cries of the Children is a deeply moving work that confronts the viewer with the stark reality of children's suffering in times of conflict and hardship. Accompanied by Shapiro's heartfelt commentary, the piece serves as both a lament and a call to action.
She writes: "In a world marked by turmoil and discord, my heart aches for the millions of innocent children who endure suffering in its many agonising forms... Why must children suffer? This question echoes in my soul, for their pain is an indictment of our collective failure to protect the most vulnerable amongst us."
The painting employs expressive techniques to convey the anguish and resilience of children affected by war, persecution and famine. While specific visual details of the artwork are not provided, the emotional weight of the piece is evident through Shapiro's words and the evocative title.
Shapiro's work aligns with a tradition of art that seeks to highlight the plight of the innocent and provoke societal reflection. By focusing on children, the embodiment of hope and purity, she underscores the urgency of empathy and collective responsibility in addressing global suffering.
In essence, Cries of the Children is not just a painting; it's a poignant reminder of the world's most vulnerable and a plea for compassion and action." Review by J.V.

South Africa's case in The Hague argues that Israel violated the 1948 genocide convention, established in the aftermath of the Holocaust, which mandates that all countries prevent the recurrence of such crimes.

The statue of Helmuth von Moltke the Elder by Joseph Uphues is located near the Berlin Victory Column in the Tiergarten, Berlin.
Joseph Johann Ludwig Uphues (23 May 1850, Sassenberg – 2 January 1911, Berlin) was a German sculptor.
Life
After an apprenticeship as a carpenter, he embarked on a two-year tour of Belgium and the Netherlands. From 1870 to 1871, he learned stone masonry in Wiedenbrück. He worked there until 1878, when he entered the Prussian Academy of Arts, studying sculpture under Reinhold Begas and Fritz Schaper. In 1882 he was enrolled in Begas' Master Student class and worked as his assistant until 1891, opening his own studio in 1892. He became a Professor at the Academy and joined the Berlin Secession in 1899.
The Siegesallee (Victory Avenue)
He was one of the sculptors commissioned to produce statues for the Siegesallee, a monumental project conceived by Kaiser Wilhelm II as his gift to the people of Berlin. Uphues produced two sets of figures, dedicated in 1899:
Group 3, with Otto II, Margrave of Brandenburg as the centerpiece, flanked by Johann Gans Edler Herr zu Putlitz (founder of the Marienfließ Monastery in Prignitz) and Heinrich von Antwerpen (Provost of Brandenburg).
Group 28, featuring Frederick the Great with side figures of Graf Kurt Christoph von Schwerin and Johann Sebastian Bach.
As is the case with virtually all of the Siegesallee statues, his were damaged during World War II and are currently displayed at the Spandau Citadel. The Bach figure has disappeared.
Other selected major works
Berlin
Equestrian statue of Kaiser Friedrich III, Luisenplatz (1905). Uphues also produced statues of him for Düren (1889), Bad Homburg vor der Höhe (1890) and Wiesbaden (1897).
Statue of Helmuth von Moltke the Elder, which Uphues titled Der große Schweiger (roughly, "The Man of Few Words"), in the Königsplatz (1905). Uphues produced several Moltke memorials, including the ones in Düren (1902) and Mannheim (1902).

Helmuth Karl Bernhard Graf von Moltke 26 October 1800 – 24 April 1891) was a Prussian field marshal. The chief of staff of the Prussian Army for thirty years, he is regarded as the creator of a new, more modern method of directing armies in the field and one of the finest military minds of his generation. He commanded troops in Europe and the Middle East, in the Second Schleswig War, Austro-Prussian War and Franco-Prussian War. He is described as embodying "Prussian military organization and tactical genius". He was fascinated with railways and pioneered their military use. He is often referred to as Moltke the Elder to distinguish him from his nephew Helmuth von Moltke the Younger (Helmuth Johann Ludwig von Moltke), who commanded the German Army at the outbreak of the First World War. He is notably the earliest-born human to have been audio-recorded, being born in the last year of the 18th century (1800). He made 4 recordings, 2 of which are preserved to this day, that were recorded in October 1889.
Early life
Moltke was born in Parchim, Mecklenburg-Schwerin, son of the German Generalleutnant in Danish service, Friedrich Philipp Victor von Moltke (1768–1845). In 1805, his father settled in Holstein, but about the same time was left impoverished when the French burned his country house and plundered his townhouse in Lübeck, where his wife and children were during the War of the Fourth Coalition of 1806–1807. At nine he was sent as a boarder to Hohenfelde in Holstein, and at age twelve went to the cadet school at Copenhagen, being destined for the Danish army and court. In 1818 he became a page to the king of Denmark and a second lieutenant in Oldenburg's Infantry Regiment. At twenty-one, Moltke resolved to enter the Prussian service, despite the loss of seniority. In 1822 he became a second lieutenant in the 8th Infantry Regiment stationed at Frankfurt an der Oder. At twenty-three he was allowed to enter the general war school (later called the Prussian Military Academy), where he studied the full three years, graduating in 1826.
Military career
For a year Moltke had charge of a cadet school at Frankfurt an der Oder, then he was for three years employed on the military survey in Silesia and Posen. In 1832 he was seconded for service on the general staff at Berlin, to which he was transferred in 1833 on promotion to first lieutenant. He was at this time regarded as a brilliant officer by his superiors, including Prince William, then a lieutenant-general.
Moltke was well received at court and in the best society of Berlin. His tastes inclined him to literature, to historical study and to travel. In 1827 he had published a short romance, The Two Friends. In 1831 he wrote an essay entitled Holland and Belgium in their Mutual Relations, from their Separation under Philip II to their Reunion under William I. A year later he wrote An Account of the Internal Circumstances and Social Conditions of Poland, a study based both on reading and on personal observation of Polish life and character.
He was fluent in English and a talented writer in German; in 1832 he contracted to translate Gibbon's The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire into German, for which he was to receive 75 marks, his object being to earn the money to buy a horse. In eighteen months he had finished nine volumes out of twelve but the publisher failed to produce the book and Moltke never received more than 25 marks.
Service with the Ottoman Empire
In 1835, on his promotion to captain, Moltke obtained six months leave to travel in Southeast Europe. After a short stay in Constantinople he was asked by the Sultan Mahmud II to help modernize the Ottoman Empire's army and with permission from Berlin he accepted the offer. He remained two years at Constantinople, learned Turkish and surveyed the city of Constantinople, the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles. He travelled through Wallachia, Bulgaria and Rumelia, making many other journeys on both sides of the Strait.
In 1838, Moltke was sent as an adviser to the Ottoman general commanding the troops in Anatolia, who was to carry on the Egyptian–Ottoman War (1839–1841) a campaign against Muhammad Ali of Egypt. During the summer Moltke made extensive reconnaissances and surveys, riding several thousand miles in the course of his journey. He navigated the rapids of the Euphrates and visited and mapped many parts of the Ottoman Empire. In 1839 the army moved south to fight the Egyptians but upon their approach, the general refused to listen to Moltke's advice. Moltke resigned his post of staff officer and took charge of the artillery. In the Battle of Nezib on 24 June 1839, the Ottoman Army was beaten. On 7 November 1839, he received the Pour le Mérite. The royal dispatch to Chief of Staff von Krauseneck read "I want to give to the captains von Vincke, Fischer and von Moltke of the General Staff, as proof of my satisfaction with their services during their command in Turkey, the first two the Order of the Red Eagle IV. Class and the other the V.O. [Verdienst-Orden]; and send you the insignia attached to hand them over to the named officers". With great difficulty, Moltke made his way back to the Black Sea, and thence to Constantinople. His patron, Sultan Mahmud II, was dead, so he returned to Berlin where he arrived, broken in health, in December 1839.
Once home Moltke published some of the letters he had written as Letters on Conditions and Events in Turkey in the Years 1835 to 1839. This book was well received at the time. Early the next year he married a young English woman, Maria Bertha Helena Burt, the daughter of John Heyliger Burt esq. of St. Croix in the Danish West Indies, who married his sister Augusta. It was a happy union, though there were no children. In 1840, Moltke had been appointed to the staff of the IV Corps, which was under command of Prince Charles of Prussia, stationed at Berlin and he published his maps of Constantinople, and, jointly with other German travellers, a new map of Asia Minor and a memoir on the geography of that region.
He became interested in railroads and he was one of the first directors of the Hamburg–Berlin railway. Moltke also paid close attention to the tactical and operational implications of rifled weapons. In 1843 he published the article "What Considerations should determine the Choice of the Course of Railways? Even before Germany began constructing its first railroad he had noticed their military potential and he urged the general staff to support railway construction for mobilisation and supply. He spent all of his savings on investments into Prussian railroad ventures which made him a considerable amount of wealth. During his later years in the great general staff he would add a Railways Department, which did not have the task of planning military campaign like many of the other departments, but managed the military use of railways.
In 1845, Moltke published The Russo-Turkish Campaign in Europe, 1828–1829, which was well received in military circles. In the same year, he served in Rome as personal adjutant to Prince Henry of Prussia, which allowed him to create another map of the Eternal City (published in 1852). In 1848, after a brief return to the General Staff in Berlin, he became Chief of the Staff of the 4th Corps, of which the headquarters was then at Magdeburg. There he remained for seven years, during which he rose to Lieutenant Colonel and Colonel.[8] In 1855, Moltke served as personal aide and mentor to Prince Frederick William (later Emperor Frederick III) as Generalmajor. He accompanied the prince to England for the prince's marriage, as well as to Paris and Saint Petersburg for the coronation of Alexander II of Russia.
In Prussia
On the suggestion of Edwin von Manteuffel, the new king appointed Moltke as Chief of the Prussian General Staff on 29 October 1857. He would hold the position for the next 30 years (though after the establishment of the German Empire, the Prussian General Staff's title was changed to "Great General Staff", as it would have direction of the various German armies during war.) As soon as he gained the position he went to work making changes to the strategic and tactical methods of the Prussian army: changes in armament and means of communication; changes in the training of staff officers (such as instituting staff rides); and changes in the method for the mobilization of the army. He also instituted a formal study of European politics in connection with the plans for campaigns which might become necessary. In short, he rapidly put into place the features of a modern general staff. By 1860, his reforms were completed.
In 1859, the Austro-Sardinian War in Italy caused the mobilization of the Prussian army, though it did not fight. After the mobilization, the army was reorganized and its strength was nearly doubled. The reorganization was the work not of Moltke but of the Prince Regent, William, and the Minister of War, Albrecht von Roon. Moltke watched the Italian campaign closely and wrote a history of it in 1862. In an act that was yet another first in military affairs, this history was attributed on the title-page to the historical division of the Prussian staff.
In 1860, "[Moltke] added a Railway Section to the military council. A contemporary would write that von Moltke never made an important decision without consulting the German railway timetables." Moltke had been following developments relating to the railroad ever since his return from his Egypt, at which time he wrote that: “Every new railway development is a military benefit, and for national defense it is far more profitable to spend a few million on completing our railways than on new fortresses.”
In December 1862, Moltke was asked for an opinion upon the military aspect of the quarrel with Denmark. He thought the difficulty would be to bring the war to an end, as the Danish army would, if possible, retire to the islands, where, as the Danes had the command of the sea, it could not be attacked. He sketched a plan for turning the flank of the Danish army before the attack upon its position in front of Schleswig. He suggested that by this means its retreat might be cut off.
War with Denmark
When the Second Schleswig War began in February 1864, Moltke was not sent with the Prussian forces, but kept at Berlin. His war plan was mismanaged, and the Danish army escaped to the fortresses of Dybbøl and Fredericia, each of which commanded a retreat across a strait to an island. Dybbøl and Fredericia were besieged, Dybbøl taken by storm, and Fredericia abandoned by the Danes without assault – but the war showed no signs of ending. The Danish army was safe on the islands of Als and Funen.
On 30 April 1864, Moltke was sent to be chief of the staff for the allied (German) forces. Moltke realized the possession of Funen and Als. He and Friedrich Graf von Wrangel planned landing on Funen, and on June 29, battalions (part of Herwarth von Bittenfeld's army corps) crossed the Alsen in boats, landed while under fire from the Danish batteries, and quickly seized the whole island as far as the Kekenis peninsula. Days later, Eduard Vogel von Falckenstein's corps crossed the Limfjord and occupied the remaining parts of Jutland while the Austrians seized the various islands. The Danish government, dejected by the course of the war, ended the war in defeat by signing the Treaty of Vienna.
Moltke's theory of war
In contrast to Antoine-Henri Jomini, who expounded a system of rules, Moltke was a disciple of Carl von Clausewitz and regarded strategy as a practical art of adapting means to ends. He had developed the methods of Napoleon in accordance with altered conditions of his age, was the first to realize the great defensive power of modern firearms,[citation needed] and realized that an enveloping attack had become more formidable than an attempt to pierce an enemy's front.
He developed the idea of Clausewitz and said "The purpose of war is to carry out the policy of the government with arms". He emphasized the autonomy of war. This brought conflicts with Otto von Bismarck. One of Moltke's characteristic strategies, seen in all his plans for war with Russia and France, was what has been called the offensive–defensive strategy, manoeuvring his army to cut the lines of communication of the enemy force and then dig in and defeat the enemy force trying to re-establish its lines of communication in a defensive action. Moltke had pondered the tactics of Napoleon at the Battle of Bautzen, when the emperor brought up Ney's corps, coming from a great distance, against the flank of the allies, rather than to unite it with his own force before the battle; he had also drawn this conclusion from the combined action of the allies at the Battle of Waterloo.[16] Moltke realized that the increase in firepower reduced the risk a defender ran in splitting his forces, while the increase in the size of armies made outflanking maneuvers more practical.
Moltke had worked out the conditions of the march and supply of an army. Only one army corps could be moved along one road in one day; to put two or three corps on the same road meant that the rear corps could not be made use of in a battle at the front. Several corps stationed close together in a small area could not be fed for more than a day or two. He believed that the essence of strategy lay in arrangements for the separation of the corps for marching and their concentration in time for battle. To make a large army manageable, it must be broken up into separate armies or groups of corps, each group under a commander authorized to regulate its movements and action subject to the instructions of the commander-in-chief as regards the direction and purpose of its operations.
Moltke also realized that the expansion in the size of armies since the 1820s made it impossible to exercise detailed control over the entire force (as Napoleon or Wellington had done in battle). Subordinates would have to use initiative and independent judgment for the forces to be effective in battle. Campaign and battle plans should encourage and take advantage of the decentralization that would be necessary in any case. In this new concept, commanders of distant detachments were required to exercise initiative in their decision-making and Moltke emphasized the benefits of developing officers who could do this within the limits of the senior commander's intent. He accomplished this by means of Mission-type tactics (directives stating his intentions) rather than detailed orders and he was willing to accept deviations from a directive provided that it was within the general framework of the mission. Moltke held this view firmly and it later became a fundamental of all German military theory, especially for the field manual Truppenführung.
Moltke's thesis was that military strategy had to be understood as a system of options, since it was possible to plan only the beginning of a military operation. As a result, he considered the main task of military leaders to consist in the extensive preparation of all possible outcomes. His thesis can be summed up by two statements, one famous and one less so, translated into English as "No plan of operations extends with certainty beyond the first encounter with the enemy's main strength" (or "no plan survives contact with the enemy") and "Strategy is a system of expedients". Right before the Austro-Prussian War, Moltke was promoted to General of the Infantry.
Austro-Prussian War
Bismarck, Roon, Moltke, three leaders of Prussia in the 1860s
Moltke planned and led the military operations during the Austro-Prussian War of 1866. In the strategy for the war the main points are as follows. First Moltke demonstrated a concentration of effort. There were two enemy groups opposing the Prussians, the Austro-Saxon armies, 270,000 and their allied North and South German armies, some 120,000 strong. The Prussian forces were smaller by some 60,000 but Moltke was determined to be superior at the decisive point. Moltke divided the Prussian Army into three field armies: the First Army, the Second Army, and the Army of the Elbe. The First Army consisted of three army corps, a cavalry corps of six brigades and 300 guns, gathering near Görlitz (Prince Friedrich Karl). The Second Army consisted of four army corps, a cavalry division and 336 guns, near Neisse (Crown Prince Frederick William). The Army of the Elbe consisted of three divisions, two cavalry brigades and 144 guns in the cantonments round Torgau (General Karl von Bittenfeld). Beside the three field armies, three more divisions were stationed at Altona (General Edwin von Manteuffel), one at Minden (General Eduard von Falckenstein) and one at Wetzlar (General Gustav von Beyer). The three field armies, placed to attack Austria, consisted of some 278,000 men, leaving just 48,000 men remaining to defend against Austria's German allies. Those 48,000, led by Falckenstein, managed to capture the Hanoverian Army in less than two weeks and then to attack and drive away the south German forces.
In dealing with the Austrian and Saxon army, the difficulty was to have the Prussian army ready first. This was not easy, as the king would not mobilize until after the Austrians. Moltke's railway knowledge helped him to save time. Five railway lines led from the various Prussian provinces to a series of points on the southern frontier. By employing all these railways at once, Moltke had all his army corps moved simultaneously from their peacetime garrisons to the frontier.
After marching into Saxony, the Saxon army retreated into Bohemia. Moltke had two Prussian armies about 100 mi (160 km) apart. The problem was how to bring them together to catch the Austrian army between them like the French at Waterloo between Wellington and Blücher. He determined to bring his two armies together by directing each of them to advance towards Gitschin. On June 22, 1866, Moltke told the two princes that Gitschin was the desirable point for juncture of the two armies. He foresaw that the march of the Crown Prince would probably bring him into collision with a portion of the Austrian army. Prince Friedrich Karl sent the 3rd Division to Gitschin; but the Crown Prince had 100,000 men, and it was not likely that the Austrians could have a stronger force. When Friedrich Karl commanded further attacks, straining his own supply lines, Moltke inferred that the prince was trying to take Prague by himself.
The Austrians, under Ludwig von Benedek, marched faster than Moltke expected, and might have opposed Prince Frederick Charles (the Red Prince) with four or five corps; but Benedek's attention was centered on Crown Prince Frederick William, and his four corps, not under a common command, were beaten in detail. On 1 July Benedek collected his shaken forces into a defensive position in front of Königgrätz. Moltke's two armies were now within a short march of one another and of the enemy. On 3 July they were brought into action, the first army against the Austrian forces and the second against the Austrian right flank. The Austrian army was completely defeated and the campaign and war were won.
Moltke was not quite satisfied with the Battle of Königgrätz. He tried to have the Prussian Army of the Elbe brought up above Königgrätz, so as to prevent the Austrian retreat, but its commanding officer failed to get there in time. He also tried to prevent the Prussian First Army from pushing its attack too hard, hoping in that way to keep the Austrians in their position until their retreat should be cut off by the Crown Prince's army, but this also did not happen. During the negotiations, Otto von Bismarck opposed the king's wish to annex the Kingdom of Saxony and other territory beyond what was actually taken; he feared the active intervention of France. Moltke, however, was confident of beating both French and Austrians if the French should intervene, and he submitted to Bismarck his plans in case a war against both France and Austria proved necessary. After the peace, the Prussian government voted Moltke the sum of 30,000 marks (equivalent to approximately 225,000 US$ in 2016), with which he bought the estate of Creisau (present-day Krzyżowa), near Schweidnitz (present-day Świdnica) in the Province of Silesia.
In 1867, The Campaign of 1866 in Germany was published. This history was produced under Moltke's supervision and was regarded as quite accurate at the time. In the same year Moltke became a member of Reichstag as a member of the Conservative Party. He repeated to discuss about the military issues. On 24 December 1868 Moltke's wife died at Berlin. Her remains were buried in a small chapel erected by Moltke as a mausoleum in the park at Creisau.
After the war, Bismarck assessed him that he was a reliable soldier.
Later career
Moltke again planned and led the Prussian armies in the Franco-Prussian War (1870–71), which paved the way for the creation of the Prussian-led German Empire in 1871. The aspects of such a war had occupied Moltke's attention almost continuously since 1857; documents published after his death show the many times he considered such a war and the best arrangement of the Prussian or German forces for such a campaign. The arrangements for the transport of the army by railway were revised annually to suit the changes in his plans brought about by political conditions and by the growth of the army, as well as by the improvement of the Prussian system of railways.
The successes of 1866 had strengthened Moltke's position, so that when, on 5 July 1870, the order for the mobilization of the Prussian and South German forces was issued, his plans were adopted without dispute. Five days later he was appointed Chief of Staff of the Army for the duration of the war. This gave Moltke the right to issue orders which were equivalent to royal commands.
Moltke's plan was to assemble the whole army south of Mainz, this being one district in which a single army could secure the defence of the whole frontier. If the French disregarded the neutrality of Belgium and Luxembourg, and advanced towards Cologne (or any other point on the Lower Rhine), the German army would be able to strike at their flank. At the same time the Rhine itself, with the fortresses of Koblenz, Cologne and Wesel, would be a serious obstacle in their path. If the French should attempt to invade south Germany, an advance by the Germans up the Rhine river would threaten their communications. Moltke expected that the French would be compelled by the direction of their railways to collect the greater part of their army near Metz, and a smaller portion near Strasbourg.
The German forces were grouped into three armies: the first of 60,000 men under Von Steinmetz, on the Moselle below Trier; the second of 130,000 men, under Prince Friedrich Karl of Prussia, around Homburg (with a reserve of 60,000 men behind them); the third under the Crown Prince Frederick William of 130,000 men, at Landau. Three army corps were held back in north-Eastern Germany, in case Austria-Hungary should make common cause with France. He reported this to the King on 17 April 1870.
Moltke's plan was that the three armies, while advancing, should make a right wheel, so that the first army on the right would reach the bank of the Moselle opposite Metz, while the second and third armies should push forward, the third army to defeat the French force near Strasbourg, and the second to strike the Moselle near Pont-à-Mousson. If the French army should be found in front of the second army, it would be attacked in front by the second army and in flank by the first or the third (or both). If it should be found on or north of the line from Saarburg to Lunéville, it could still be attacked from two sides by the second and third armies in co-operation. The intention of the great right wheel was to attack the principal French army in such a direction as to drive it north and cut its communications with Paris. The fortress of Metz was to be only monitored, and the main German forces, after defeating the chief French army, would then march against Paris.
This plan was carried out in its broad outlines. The Battle of Wörth was brought on prematurely, and therefore led, not to the capture of MacMahon's army, which was intended, but only to its defeat and hasty retreat as far as Châlons. The Battle of Spicheren was not intended by Moltke, who wished to keep Bazaine's army on the Saar until he could attack it with the second army in front and the first army on its left flank. But these unexpected victories did not disconcert Moltke, who carried out his intended advance to Pont-Mousson, crossed the Moselle with the first and second armies, then faced north and wheeled round, so that the effect of the battle of Gravelotte was to drive Bazaine into the fortress of Metz and cut him off from Paris.
Nothing shows Moltke's insight and strength of purpose in a clearer light than his determination to attack on 18 August, at the Battle of Gravelotte, when other strategists would have thought that, the strategic victory having been gained, a tactical victory was unnecessary. He has been blamed for the last attack of Gravelotte, in which there was a fruitless heavy loss; but it is now known that this attack was ordered by the king, and Moltke blamed himself for not having used his influence to prevent it.
During the night following the battle Moltke left one army to invest Bazaine at Metz and set out with the two others to march towards Paris, the more southerly one leading, so that when MacMahon's army should be found the main blow might be delivered from the south and MacMahon driven to the north. On 25 August it was found that MacMahon was moving north-east for the relief of Bazaine. The moment Moltke was satisfied of the accuracy of his information, he ordered the German columns to turn their faces north instead of west. MacMahon's right wing was attacked at Beaumont while attempting to cross the Meuse, his advance necessarily abandoned, and his army with difficulty collected at Sedan.
At the Battle of Sedan, the two German armies surrounded the French army, which on 1 September was attacked from multiple sides and compelled to surrender. Moltke then resumed the advance on Paris, which was also surrounded.
From this time Moltke's strategy is remarkable for its judicious economy of force, for he was wise enough never to attempt more than was practicable with the means at his disposal. The surrender of Metz and of Paris was just a question of time, and the problem was, while maintaining the sieges, to be able to ward off the attacks of the new French armies levied for the purpose of raising the Siege of Paris. The Siege of Metz ended with its surrender on 27 October.
On 28 January 1871, an armistice was concluded at Versailles by which the garrison became virtually prisoners and the war was ended.
Later life
Final years and death
In October 1870, Moltke was made a Graf (count) as a reward for his services during the Franco-Prussian War and victory at the Battle of Sedan. In June 1871, he was further rewarded by a promotion to the rank of field marshal and a large monetary grant. He served in the Diet of the North German Confederation from 1867 to 1871, and from 1871 to 1891 he was a member of the Reichstag (federal parliament).
Under his supervision, the German General Staff wrote studies about the Second Italian War of Independence, the Second Schleswig War, the Austro-Prussian War, and the Franco-Prussian War. William I recognized the cultural achievements of Moltke by awarding him the civil class of the Pour le Mérite on 24 May 1874.
Moltke superintended the preparation of the official history of the Franco-Prussian War, which was published between 1874 and 1881 by the German General Staff. After the war, he became a national hero and celebrity. More than 50 monuments to Moltke were erected throughout Germany in the late 19th and early 20th centuries; some were destroyed during or after World War II, but many remain.
When Moltke retired in 1888 as Chief of the General Staff, he was succeeded by Alfred von Waldersee. (His nephew, Helmuth Johann Ludwig von Moltke, was chief from 1906 to 1914.) Moltke officially retired from active service on 9 August 1888. His 90th birthday on 26 October 1890 was declared a national holiday. Field Marshal Helmuth von Moltke died at his home in Berlin on 24 April 1891 after a short illness. He received a state funeral where his body lay in state surrounded by military honors and thousands paid their respects, including Kaiser Wilhelm II; Bismarck did not attend. Thousands of troops, led by the Kaiser, escorted his casket to Berlin's Lehrter Railroad Station, from which it was transported to Silesia.
Moltke's remains were interred in the family mausoleum on the Kreisau estate, which however was plundered after the Second World War, when Kreisau (now Krzyżowa) was lost to Poland. No trace of his remains is known to exist.
Personal life
In April 1842, aged 41, Moltke married his 16-year-old step-niece Bertha Maria Wilhelmine Burt, known as Marie. She was the daughter of John Heyliger Burt, a member of a wealthy slave-owning planter family in the British West Indies. Her father married Moltke's sister Auguste after the death of his first wife, who was also a German. They remained married until Marie's death on 24 December 1868, although they had no children. He was devoted to his wife, and long after her death still daily visited the chapel where she and her sister were buried to meditate.

Questions About Angels
By Billy Collins
Of all the questions you might want to ask
about angels, the only one you ever hear
is how many can dance on the head of a pin.
No curiosity about how they pass the eternal time
besides circling the Throne chanting in Latin
or delivering a crust of bread to a hermit on earth
or guiding a boy and girl across a rickety wooden bridge.
Do they fly through God's body and come out singing?
Do they swing like children from the hinges
of the spirit world saying their names backwards and forwards?
Do they sit alone in little gardens changing colors?
What about their sleeping habits, the fabric of their robes,
their diet of unfiltered divine light?
What goes on inside their luminous heads? Is there a wall
these tall presences can look over and see hell?
If an angel fell off a cloud, would he leave a hole
in a river and would the hole float along endlessly
filled with the silent letters of every angelic word?
If an angel delivered the mail, would he arrive
in a blinding rush of wings or would he just assume
the appearance of the regular mailman and
whistle up the driveway reading the postcards?
No, the medieval theologians control the court.
The only question you ever hear is about
the little dance floor on the head of a pin
where halos are meant to converge and drift invisibly.
It is designed to make us think in millions,
billions, to make us run out of numbers and collapse
into infinity, but perhaps the answer is simply one:
one female angel dancing alone in her stocking feet,
a small jazz combo working in the background.
She sways like a branch in the wind, her beautiful
eyes closed, and the tall thin bassist leans over
to glance at his watch because she has been dancing
forever, and now it is very late, even for musicians.

A heartfelt, emotionally rich and brave story of the interplay between society and individual that leaves no question that a person’s identity is not so much innate as fired in the kiln of society’s judgement and hatred. So much feeling and emotion streamed off the pages of this story that I was moved to tears from the outset. Some spoilers ahead in order to analyze this book in terms of the transgender movement and how the silencing of this author’s story coopts lesbian history in order to serve the transgender cyborg movement of medical intervention.
Published in 1993 this autobiographical novel takes place in Buffalo, New York some 30 years earlier in the young life of Jess who comes of age as a butch lesbian after a rough childhood fending off the question “Are you a boy or a girl?” Her preference for wearing boys’ clothes and soon after her attraction to girls defines an identity I can surely relate to. Once she finds her way to a gay bar she is schooled by elder butch lesbians with their own code of honor informing them of how to conduct themselves and we are deep in the era of the Butch Femme lesbian world of the ’50s and early ‘60s.
And it is a rough one for cross dressers of both sexes who are routinely arrested and humiliated to such an extent that the most sensitive of these butch women are broken, becoming emotionally disconnected from their feelings and unable to receive sexual pleasuring for fear of reopening these wounds. Thus the term stone butch. We are introduced too to the femme women some of whom are masters at bringing out the gentler feelings of their butch counterpart and melting their ‘stone’. And some of whom are “pros” the prostitutes plying their trade on the streets.
The characters of this story are soon engulfed by the events at Stonewall and the ensuing gay liberation movement and the lesbian feminists who push aside the Butch Femme culture as antiquated and patriarchal. Thus the on-the-ground lived reality of working class lesbians are victimized by the esoteric ideas of educated women who manage their self perception and self value with feminist theories that keep them above the fray in a middle class academic setting.
Caught between the brutality dished out by police and the abandonment of the gay movement the butches are left adrift and Jess is tempted to follow some of her butch peers down the path of medical transition. It is because of this choice that the author Leslie Feinberg self identifies as a leader of the transgender movement and is repeatedly claimed by trans history. But the full details of her story are not told in that history. Likely because her heroine makes it clear that she is not seeking transition because she feels she is a man trapped in a woman’s body per trans ideology. No she is something in between.
“Passing” in an unjust and judgmental society has long been the lure for those who are caught between belonging and not belonging. But it is a hard position to hold that will test your loyalties and sense of self. Jess does not find relief in her new identity. She becomes a man without a past. She moves to New York and subsequently detransitions in order to reconnect with who she really is and regain her past.
In the trans activist's narrative today the silencing of the stories of detransitioners is insisted upon or seen as so infrequent as to be inconsequential because otherwise the question becomes why seek medical intervention at all when it is clearly society that needs to be adjusted to accept those who express themselves in gender non-conforming ways?
And if you look at Native American tribes those societies that recognize the third sex/ two spirit category tend to be highly patriarchal while those less patriarchal have much broader definitions of gender expressions so have no need of such a relief valve. Cross dressers have been around since pagan times as described in Feinberg's book Transgender Warriors. While medical intervention has only been around since 1952. In this historical context it is a performance enhancer not a cure for the diagnosis of gender dysphoria.
It has been said that the butch lesbian persona is a strategy for managing what we know as gender dysphoria today. Leslie Feinberg clearly wanted to help transgender people by telling her story. She dedicated the 20th edition in 2014 to CeCe McDonald a Black transwoman who was incarcerated after a bar raid. But in 1993 when the first edition came out butch lesbians were making a comeback in the lesbian community. I didn't read it at the time, but reading it now it is even more poignant and current.
The same conversations between butches taking the trans path and their female remaining lovers are going on now with just as much emotional upset albeit suppressed so as to be "supportive". And butch lesbians who don't want to transition are being pressured to by those who have and in increasingly insulting language. Not to mention the plight of teen girls seeing transition as the way to go. This is surely not the outcome Leslie Feinberg wanted, but she is dead and her family have pledged a vow of silence on her work and intentions. Stone Butch Blues however carries all that I needed to affirm that butch lesbians are a true phenomena of lesbian expression.
I read the PDF book for free downloaded from www.lesliefeinberg.net/
Thus this is not my usual photo of a hard copy book. It is borrowed from the cover of the 2003 edition. It is a photograph of the author.
Pretty Athletic Goddess! Nikon D810 Photos Pretty Swimsuit Bikini Fitness Model Goddess: Sigma 50mm F1.4 DG HSM Art Lens for Nikon Cameras!
Loved shooting the awesome Sigma 50mm F1.4 DG HSM Art Lens for Nikon Cameras! It was a bit tough sometimes to achieve optimum focus at F1.4 due to the shallow depth of field, but hey--not every eyelash has to be perfectly sharp! I could do it if I and the model were perfectly still, or F1.8 or F2.0 did the trick too. Kept switching it up! We had fun and she loves the photos! :)

Modeling the new black & gold & "Gold 45 Revolver" Gold'N'Virtue swimsuits with the main equation to Dynamic Dimensions Theory on the swimsuits: dx4/dt=ic. Yes I have a Ph.D. in physics! :) You can read more about my research and Hero's Odyssey Physics here:
herosodysseyphysics.wordpress.com/ MDT PROOF#2: Einstein (1912 Man. on Rel.) and Minkowski wrote x4=ict. Ergo dx4/dt=ic--the foundational equation of all time and motion which is on all the shirts and swimsuits. Every photon that hits my Nikon D800e's sensor does it by surfing the fourth expanding dimension, which is moving at c relative to the three spatial dimensions, or dx4/dt=ic!

After looking through my work,what do you think about Nikon vs. Sony? Do you prefer the Nikon D810 and Nikkor / Tamron / Sigma lenses /glass, or the Sony A7r and Sony Sonnar Carl Zeiss e-mount glass/lenses? I love them both! And I am so excited about the Sony A7rII !
Feel free to ask me any questions! Always love sharing tech talk and insights! :)
And all the best on Your Epic Hero's Odyssey!
The new Lightroom rocks!
I get asked a lot of questions (I love questions--ask away!), and one of the more common ones is "What kind of camera shoul I buy?" Begin with anything, and then, when it falls short of the beauty you are trying to capture, invest in a new one! The important thing is to think of it as buying not something for yourself, but a gift for the world, who will witness all the magnificent photos you shoot with it! Then, the next most important thing to do is to shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot! For each and every epic shot on an awesome camera helps justify its cost! I shoot with the awesome Nikon D810, Sony A7R, and now the Sony A7RII! And in the long run, the cost of the camera is a very small entity, when conpared to the cost of life and time. So buy a great camera, and then give the gift of epic photography to the world! View your artistic mission into photography as an epic odyssey of heroic poetry! Take it from Homer in Homer's Odyssey: "Tell me, O muse, of that ingenious hero who travelled far and wide after he had sacked the famous town of Troy. Many cities did he visit, and many were the nations with whose manners and customs he was acquainted; moreover he suffered much by sea while trying to save his own life and bring his men safely home; but do what he might he could not save his men, for they perished through their own sheer folly in eating the cattle of the Sun-god Hyperion; so the god prevented them from ever reaching home. Tell me, too, about all these things, O daughter of Jove, from whatsoever source you may know them. " --Samuel Butler Translation of Homer's Odyssey

She was a beauty--a gold 45 goddess for sure! A Gold 45 Goddess exalts the archetypal form of Athena--the Greek Goddess of wisdom, warfare, strategy, heroic endeavour, handicrafts and reason. A Gold 45 Goddess guards the beauty of dx4/dt=ic and embodies 45SURF's motto "Virtus, Honoris, et Actio Pro Veritas, Amor, et Bellus, (Strength, Honor, and Action for Truth, Love, and Beauty," and she stands ready to inspire and guide you along your epic, heroic journey into art and mythology. It is Athena who descends to call Telemachus to Adventure in the first book of Homer's Odyssey--to man up, find news of his true father Odysseus, and rid his home of the false suitors, and too, it is Athena who descends in the first book of Homer's Iliad, to calm the Rage of Achilles who is about to draw his sword so as to slay his commander who just seized Achilles' prize, thusly robbing Achilles of his Honor--the higher prize Achilles fought for. And now Athena descends once again, assuming the form of a Gold 45 Goddess, to inspire you along your epic journey of heroic endeavour.
