Marie Russak (October 7, 1865 – March 4, 1945), also known as Marie Hotchener or Marie Barnard, was an American opera singer and architect.

Biography
Born on October 7, 1865 in the small city of Four Corners, Butte County in northern California, she studied music at Mills College in Oakland. She became a renowned singer, performing in several European cities. In 1899, she married the opera producer Frank Russak and moved to Paris, France with him in 1901. She was deeply interested in Theosophy and became active in the  Theosophical Society.

Between 1906 and 1910 she lived in Adyar (Chennai), India, where she deepened her study of esoterism and Theosophy. She participated actively in Co-Masonry, and in 1912 she co-founded the Order of the Temple of the Rosy Cross with Annie Besant. She worked actively with the Rosicrucians until the group was dissolved in 1918.

Soon after leaving India in 1912, Marie helped to found the Krotona Colony. She held a substantial role in building Krotona and designed a number of houses for Theosophists including a well known house at 6106 Temple Hill Drive.

Russak continued to work in the Theosophical Society and was contacted in California by Harvey Spencer Lewis, who in 1915 had founded AMORC. She transmitted much of the esoteric knowledge that she had acquired, and she collaborated with the elaboration of some rituals, which were similar to those made of the OTRC.

Marie Russak was also involved in architectural design, and her work can still be seen in Krotona, California. Some of her designs were inspired by Moorish and Mission styles. One of her buildings, Moorcrest (probably completed in 1921) was rented by Charlie Chaplin before its sale in 1925 to the parents of Mary Astor, Mr. and Mrs. Otto Langhanke. Moorcrest fell into a state of decrepitude and rapidly lost market value throughout the 1990s. The house was finally bought in the early 2000s and the new owner put it under major renovations. Moorcrest went back on the market for $9 million in 2006. In 2014 it was bought by Joanna Newsom and Andy Samberg. 

Marie Russak was born Mary Ellen Barnard, the daughter of Judge Allyn Matther Barnard of California; she later took the stage name of Marie Ellene Barna. She married first, professor, author and later Pulitzer Prize winner Justin Harvey Smith on May 22, 1892 in Boston, Massachusetts; they divorced in 1895.  She married second, Frank Russak on September 19, 1899 in Newport, New York; he died in 1918.  She married third, Henry Hotchener on 10 Jul 1916 in Los Angeles, California.  Russak died on March 4, 1945, in Hollywood, California.

Pierre Van Wyke is a South African former professional rugby league footballer who represented South Africa in the 1995 and 2000 World Cups.

Playing career
Van Wyke was attached to the Western Reds in Australia, although he never played a first grade match for the club. In 1995 he played for the South African Rhinos when they hosted a touring BARLA side. He was subsequently named in the squad for that year's World Cup and played in all three matches, starting at fullback.

In 1996 he spent the season at the Dewsbury Rams, along with several other South African World Cup players. Despite the hype surrounding their arrival, the imports failed to make a lasting impression at the club and returned home the following year.

He again played for South Africa in the 2000 World Cup, starting two matches at five eighth.

Cross and circle is a board game design used for race games played throughout the world. The design of most cross and circle games involves a circle divided into four equal portions by a cross inscribed inside it; the classic example of this design is the Korean game Yut. However, the term "cross and circle" is typically widened to include boards that replace the circle with a square, and cruciform boards that collapse the circle onto the cross; all three types are topologically equivalent.

The Indian game Pachisi and its many descendants are perhaps the most well-known of all cross and circle games. Not all cross and circle games are descended from Pachisi; there are numerous examples of other similar games independently developed in other cultures.

Swami Vāmanāshram (Devanagari: वामनाश्रम्, ), also called Swamiji, was the sixth guru of the Chitrapur Saraswat Brahmin community(6th in the Guru Parampara). He reigned for 16 years from 1823 to 1839.

He was considered a Bramha-jñāni(All knowing one).

Life 
Swami Vāmanāshram was from the Shukla Bhat family from Mangalore. He was ordained as the successor to Swami Keshavāshram in 1804 and was under the tutelage of his guru Swami Keshavāshram for a period of 19 years. During this time he gained mastery over the Vedas, Upanishads and other Sanskrit scriptures.

Swamiji was formally ordained as the Guru of the community after Swami Keshavāshram died on the 9th day of Mārgha month in 1823.

Shishya Sweekar 
Upon the insistence of his devotees to accept a disciple to help him with the affairs of the community, Swamiji consented in accepting a shishya (disciple). His successor, Parameshwar Nagar, was found in the hamlet of Vitthal in Karnataka when Swamiji visited. The priest of the Shri Vishweshwar Vitthal temple had told Swamiji about Nagar, telling him the young boy radiated with energy and potential.

In the month of Jyēshta in 1836, Swamiji formally ordained his shishya as Krishnāshram.

Tyāga: The Sacrifice 
Swamiji was a man who was deeply involved in spiritual pursuits, but the administration of the matha and its treasury was materialistic pleasures that the Swamiji denounced. Since he could not concentrate on both the administration affairs of the matha and the affairs of the community in general, he gave total responsibility of the administration to his shishya and the Shukla Bhat managers.

Death 
Swamiji went to visit his devotees in Mangalore in 1839. It was during this visit that he became seriously ill. His health was rapidly deteriorating.

Swami Vāmanāshram died on the 9th day of the month of Kārtik in 1839. He was succeeded by his shishya Krishnashram.

The devotees of Swamiji constructed his samādhi(shrine) in the matha at Mangalore. Devotees offer seva(service) as Shiyala Abhisheka. Tender coconut water is poured on the shrine as abhisheka.

Angola–Peru relations (, ) are the bilateral relations between Angola and Peru. Both countries are members of the United Nations and Gas Exporting Countries Forum, where Peru acts as an observer member of the latter.

History
Relations date back to the Viceroyalty of Peru, as many of the slaves brought to the Americas were taken from Southern Africa. One such slave from Angola, simply known as "Benito", became famous after painting what would become the Lord of Miracles, a painting that survived an earthquake and became a religious icon in Peru, celebrated to this day.

Bilateral relations between Peru and the Republic of Angola were formally established on September 6, 1985. In 1988, an Angolan delegation visited Peru, signing an act of mutual understanding with both parties to promote cooperation between the two countries. They also signed a draft program for technical cooperation.

Between 2018 and 2019, Angola, Peru and Honduras jointly developed a program to encourage the consumption of fish in public school lunches, under the auspices of the Food and Agriculture Organization.

Diplomatic missions
Angola is accredited to Peru from its embassy in Brasília.

Urban camouflage is the use of camouflage patterns chosen to make soldiers and equipment harder to see in built-up areas, places such as cities and industrial parks, during urban warfare.

Several armed forces have developed urban camouflage patterns. Some are in use with paramilitary forces.

History

Urban camouflage has rarely been used by armed forces in built up environments and mostly for limited trials. During the Cold War, the British Army used vehicles painted in the "Berlin camouflage" urban pattern.

Techniques of developing urban camouflage have varied across time. In 1990, the US Army's Natick Research, Development and Engineering Center (now the Combat Capabilities Development Command Soldier Center) analyzed individual samples of terrain ranging from rubble piles to stucco through the Terrain Analysis System (TAS). From these samples, the TAS gathered spectrophotometric data in order to determine the most prominent colours. This was known as the "clustering" procedure, where pixels of the scene were grouped by colour into "domains". These domains provided data that demonstrated the range of colours in the scene through mean colour difference and CIELAB values. The results provided by the TAS were used to assist in the development of candidate urban camouflage patterns.

The US Army developed and evaluated two two-colour and one three-colour prototype patterns for a projected Military Operations on Urbanized Terrain (MOUT) camouflage uniform in 1994. The patterns showed promise but were never adopted.

William Joseph Webb (June 25, 1895 – January 12, 1943) was an American professional baseball player, coach, front-office executive and manager.  Although he appeared in only five Major League games as a second baseman for the  Pittsburgh Pirates, Webb spent his life in baseball and served the Chicago White Sox as a big-league coach (1935–39) and farm system director (1940 until his death). The Chicago native was listed as  tall and  during his playing days. He batted and threw right-handed.

Webb's playing career lasted for 14 seasons, beginning in 1916 and ending in 1930, with 1918 missed during World War I.  His brief trial (five games, including four starts at second base) with the Pirates occurred during the last two weeks of the 1917 season. Webb went hitless in his first four games and 11 MLB at bats. However, in his fifth and final game, on October 1, he went three for four (all singles) against Jack Scott of the Boston Braves and scored a run, helping the Pirates beat Boston, 2–0, at Forbes Field.

Webb resumed his minor league career in 1919 and spent the entire decade of the 1920s in the top-level International League, batting over .300 seven times. He was the player-manager of the Buffalo Bisons in 1924–25.  In 1930, he resumed his managing career, and after two seasons as skipper of the Class A Galveston Buccaneers of the Texas League, winning the 1934 league title, he joined the White Sox. He coached at third base for Jimmy Dykes for five seasons before moving into their front office as minor league director.

He died at age 47 on January 12, 1943, after suffering a heart attack at the wheel of his car en route to work.
