# Martín Casillas

Martín Casillas (1556–1618) was a Spanish architect (″alarife″), best known for designing the Cathedral of Guadalajara in Jalisco, Mexico. His place of birth is disputed between the cities of Almendralejo and Trujillo (Cáceres) in Extremadura. He trained with Francisco Becerra, with whom he would reach new Spain as an apprentice in 1573. Another option is that he arrived later along with Alonso Pablos (or Sanchez), another member of his workshop. He worked then and at least until 1585, in the «medias muestras» (mediums of the toral pillars) of the Cathedral of Mexico, the work directed by Claudio de Arciniega, moving then to the city of Guadalajara. There is documentation of his work in Jalisco, including the transfer of land in the Valle de Guadalupe, Jalisco.
The theatre "Alarife Martin Casillas" of Guadalajara was named in his memory.

Brown served as deputy mayor of Evesham Township from 2007 to 2008. In 2008, he was elected to the Burlington County Board of Chosen Freeholders as a Democrat, becoming one of the first Democrats to hold the position since 1983.

On August 11, 2011, after the resignation of Patrick Delany from the General Assembly seat in the 8th district, Burlington County Republicans selected former Mount Laurel Township mayor Gerry Nardello to serve the remainder of Delany's term and also selected Brown to be the Republican candidate in the 2011 general election. Brown and his running mate Scott Rudder defeated the Democratic candidates, Anita Lovely and Pamela Finnerty. He was sworn in on January 10, 2012. In the 2013 election, he won reelection alongside Republican Maria Rodriguez-Gregg. He announced his retirement from the Assembly prior to the 2015 elections, citing frustration for being in the minority party in the Legislature and his desire to spend more time with his family.

## Personal life

# Jorge Benítez (Argentine footballer)

Jorge José Benítez (born 3 June 1950 in Gobernador Castro, Buenos Aires Province) is an Argentine former football player and coach.
Nicknamed El Chino ("The Chinese"), Benítez started his career in Racing Club in 1969; in 1973 he was transferred to Boca Juniors, where he stayed until retirement in 1983. A gifted midfielder, he played 305 league matches and scored 40 goals for Boca, being instrumental in achieving the Metropolitano title in 1976 and 1981, the Nacional in 1976, the Copa Libertadores in 1977 and 1978 and the European/South American Cup in 1977.
Since he shared Boca's midfield with talented players such as Trobbiani, Suñé, Potente, Ribolzi, Berta, Zanabria, Brindisi, and Maradona, his place in the team was often compromised.
After retirement, Benítez worked as junior division coach in Boca Juniors, and was offered the post of main coach in November 2004 upon the resignation of (former teammate) Brindisi due to poor results.
Benítez's first achievement was to stabilize the team's performance, and indeed it went on to win the 2004 Copa Sudamericana. As a result, the board of directors was convinced that he was the right man for the job, and extended the term of his contract, instead of going for a big-name coach.
On 15 July 2005, Benítez was sacked from Boca Juniors, following a poor performance by the team in the Copa Libertadores, and an incident in the quarterfinals match against Chivas de Guadalajara. A review of tape showed the manager spitting at Chivas player Adolfo Bautista a few minutes before the match ended. After being sacked, Benítez sought out Bautista to personally apologize by flying to a Chivas practice at Guadalajara. The apology was accepted but a personal meeting was rejected. The match ended 0-0, but Boca had suffered a 4-0 loss in the first leg. Boca then proceeded to hire former national team coach Alfio Basile for the post.

The Algerian forces fled, leaving behind much equipment and many treasures.

## The battle

When Hussein ibn Ali, the bey of Tunis, saw the sudden huge Algerian army disappear in one night, a cavalry was sent by the Bey set out in pursuit for the Algerians, after taking the treasures and booty that the governor of Bône sent, among them old Arab auxiliaries of Moustapha who rushed behind them. They followed them all the way to the city of Majaz al-Bab in the plain Sedira where they met. The retreating Algerians suddenly turned for an offensive return who surprised the small cavalry, which made a mess among them, leaving the Tunisians with 500 soldiers less.

"Don't Shed a Tear" is a song by the English singer-musician Paul Carrack from his third solo studio album, One Good Reason (1987). It was released as a single in 1987 and became his biggest US hit, peaking at number nine on the Billboard Hot 100.

## Background

The tune was written by Canadian singer-songwriter and guitarist Eddie Schwartz, along with fellow songwriter Rob Friedman. Schwartz, who was fresh off writing "Hit Me with Your Best Shot" for Pat Benatar, later decided to record the song with a new band he had formed with Lenny Zakatek and Dave Tyson. However, the entire project was ultimately scrapped after failed negotiations with potential manager Tommy Mottola. Some years later, the song reached the hands of Paul Carrack's producer, and Carrack ultimately recorded the song.

## Release and reception

"Don't Shed a Tear" entered the Billboard Hot 100 at number 72 on the chart dated 14 November 1987. It was the highest new entry that week. It peaked at number nine for three weeks in February 1988, becoming Carrack's biggest US hit as a solo artist. It spent 23 weeks on the Hot 100, including 13 weeks inside the top 40 section of the chart, and appeared in Billboard's 1988 year-end chart at number 83. It also reached number five on the Album Rock Tracks chart,
and number six on the Singles Sales chart.
Elsewhere, the song peaked at number 20 in the Netherlands, but was not successful in the UK, reaching number 60 in March 1989.

## Music video

A music video was made for the song. The video, directed by Peter Care and starring model and actress Kendall Conrad, features a woman (Conrad) at the beach looking for someone. As she drives, Paul Carrack sings as video of him is projected against a variety of backgrounds.

When they prepared to build a church in Bharanganam, there was a big dispute among the locals about where to build it. When it was not possible to find a solution to this, a decision was made that a stone can be placed in the elephant's trunk and a church can be built wherever the elephant places the stone. It is believed that the place where the elephant laid the stone was later known as Anakkallu (combination of two Malayalam words "Ana" (meaning elephant) and "kallu" (meaning stone)) and the church built there was known as Anakkallu Palli.

# Lataband Pass

The Lataband Pass or Kotal-e Latah Band, in pashto کوتل لته بند, (elevation: 2,125 m or 6,972 ft) is a mountain pass connecting Kabul and Jalalabad on the way to Pakistan in the Karkacha hills between Seh Baba and Butkhak in the Hindukush Range. The name, Lataband, means 'Mountain of Rags' as there was an old belief that people who hung bits of clothing on the bushes along the way, had their wishes granted.

## Description

The Lataband Pass is a difficult and dangerous pass which was on the only road suitable for carriages or motor vehicles between Kabul and Jalalabad until the longer, but less precipitous route via the Khord Kabul was used by the Mughuls in the 16th century. An integral part of the ancient Silk Road, it was still in use until 1960, when the route via Tang-e Gharu route was finally completed and paved. This new road reduced travel time between Kabul and the Pakistan border from two days to only a few hours. It was for many centuries an important link on the trade route between Central Asia and South Asia, and a strategic military location.

## History

   "A military post was established at this point by the British during the Second Afghan War (1878-80), which was held by Colonel Hudson while Afghan forces held the nearby post of Sherpur. Hudson’s forces were surrounded but could communicate by heliograph in clear weather (an apparatus which used a movable mirror to reflect sunlight to signal to distant points). Colonel Hudson’s force at Lataband, together with troops stationed at the garrison at Jagdalak near the pass, fought against the Tezin Ghilzais who occupied the surrounding hills and eventually drove them off."
