Casteller
Un casteller és una persona que forma part d'una colla castellera on intervenen desenes o centenars de persones amb l'objectiu d'aixecar diferents construccions humanes, sense cap ajuda mecà nica, de diversa complexitat i que han arribat a tenir fins a deu pisos d'alçada. El fet casteller té més de doscents anys d'història, trobem referències ja al segle XVIII, i es va desenvolupar inicialment al Camp de Tarragona pujant posteriorment cap al Penedès, i s'ha estès durant el segle XX per tot Catalunya, especialment a partir dels anys 80.

A castell is a human tower built traditionally in festivals at many locations within Catalonia. At these festivals, several colles castelleres or teams often succeed in building and sustain a tower's structure for a certain length of time.
Origin
The tradition of building human towers originated in Valls, near the city of Tarragona, in the southern part of Catalonia towards the end of the 18th century. Later it developed a following in other regions of Catalonia and even Majorca, and currently has become very popular in parts of Spain. However, the best and most skilled castellers are still found near Tarragona.

Casteller
Un Casteller es una persona que forma parte de una colla castellera para formar Castells (del catalán) (en castellano: castillos). Es el nombre de una tradición tÃpica de ciertas comarcas catalanas, en especial las del Tarragonès, Alt Camp, Alt Penedés y Baix Penedés, consistente en levantar torres humanas de varios pisos de altura. En la actualidad esta tradición se ha extendido por toda Cataluña y es muy popular, de tal modo que no puede faltar en las fiestas populares.
En un castell interviene un numeroso grupo de hombres y mujeres de todas las edades y complexiones fÃsicas que se entrenan durante todo el año para los concursos y actuaciones. Además, en la pinya de cada castell colaboran amigos, familiares, aficionados y espectadores -que pasan asà a participar activamente- espontáneos que se unen a la colla de castellers.

Maj. Gen. Kevin Leonard, SDDC's commanding general, and Command Sgt. Maj. Cedric Thomas, SDDC's 14th command sergeant major, ceremoniously cut the cake following the Change of Responsbility ceremony March 9, 2012.
An intact and well preserved heavy anti-aircraft (HAA) battery to the south west of Lavernock Point, South Wales. The battery was scheduled in 1995 and is "of national importance for its potential to enhance our knowledge of World War II anti-aircraft and coastal defence practices."
It is often incorrectly described as Lavernock Fort, this anti-aircraft battery dates form the Second World War, while the coastal artillery fort, operational from 1870, is now almost completely obscured by the holiday park which now sits on the site. See my other album with images of what remains of the fort.
There were four heavy gun positions, in two pairs, each would have held a 3.7in quick firing (QF) gun. Two of the positions are the standard pattern reinforced concrete, octaganal in shape, with six ready use ammunition lockers. The remaining two positions were of simpler earth bank construction. The front (sea facing) walls of the emplacements have been fitted with steel doors to allow for depressed firing of the guns in an anti-ship role.
References are made to a 40mm Bofors gun being on site but I don't think this had a fixed position and may have either been sited on one of the 3.7in positions or in the mobile role been deployed on its road carriage.
A sunken magazine for bulk ammunition storage is between the two concrete positions, surrounded by a blast wall. Inside there are five bays that would have stockpiled ammunition to resupply the guns above.
The command post is the most interesting of the structures. Semi-sunken, the seven room building would have served as the command and control centre fo the battery as well as a rest area for the crews when not manning the guns.
There are a few bays on the outside of the command post which would have mounted equipment such as a range finder, height finder, and other instrumentation.
All structures have been recently secured and access isn't possible with the exception of the command post where a panel has been removed and it's possible get inside.

ORLANDO, Fla. - The 143d Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) conducted a Headquarters and Headquarters Company run March 14, 2015, at Southport Community Park in Orlando. The run reinforced the command's espirit de corps while debuting the company's new Physical Training shirts.
Joining the 150 Soldiers on the three-mile trot were four members from Operation Giveback, a non-profit organization dedicated to raising awareness and resources for America's wounded warriors, their families and the children of fallen heroes.
Jose Garcia Aponte, a former Army sergeant major and founder of Operation Giveback (OGB) ran alongside Army Brig. Gen. Francisco A. Espaillat, commanding general of the 143d ESC, as he led his column of gold and black clad Soldiers as they sang cadences and took turns holding the unit's colors.
Aponte and Espaillat aim to enhance the 143d ESC's longstanding partnership with Operation Giveback by increasing the command's participation in OGB's charity events. Dozens of Soldiers have already pledged to run or volunteer in OGB's fifth annual 5K, 10K and Kids Run/Walk/Roll to be held May 16, 2015, at the University of Central Florida.
