In the early 1950s, air forces around the world came to the realization that it made little sense to train pilots on older piston-engined trainers, then expect them to go from those aircraft to high-performance jets without a high accident rate. Most nations with an aviation industry then embarked on designing jet trainers and a training syllabus entirely with jets.
For the Soviet Union, it would not only need a jet trainer, it would need thousands of them, to equip not only its own air force, but those of the Warsaw Pact and client states. The Khrushchev regime learned that two of the Pact nations were working on their own trainers--Aero of Czechoslovakia was designing the L-29 Delfin (Dolphin), while PZL of Poland was working on the TS-11 Iskra (Spark). Surprisingly for the Soviet Union, it issued a requirement for the jet trainer and opened it up to a competition between the two aircraft.
Aero's L-29 was designed to be everything a trainer should be: easy to fly, easy to maintain, forgiving of mistakes, and capable of simple aerobatics. As Soviet doctrine called for aircraft capable of operating from austere airstrips, the L-29 was given a strengthened landing gear, and for either weapons training or in emergencies, could be equipped with four underwing hardpoints for bombs, rockets or gunpods. It was not particularly fast and considered underpowered, but that was less important in a trainer.
The L-29 would first fly in 1959, and went up against the TS-11 in 1961. To the surprise of many, considering the TS-11 was faster, the L-29 was declared the winner. Suspecting politics and wishing to keep some independence, the Polish Air Force would never use the Delfin, and would make the Iskra its primary jet trainer. For the rest of the Warsaw Pact and the Soviet Union, the L-29 would go into production. NATO would give it the reporting name of Maya.
Some 27 nations would eventually fly L-29s, as trainers, but occasionally in combat as well: Egyptian L-29s were pressed into service during the 1973 Yom Kippur (October) War as ground attack aircraft, and they were also used in the Biafran War of 1967-1970 and the First Nagorno-Karabakh War of 1988-1994 between Azerbaijan and Armenia. In these cases, the Delfin did not do well, but it was never intended to fight against modern air defenses. Saddam Hussein reportedly converted a number of his L-29s to drones, intended to carry poison gas towards Coalition forces in 2003, though they never flew.
While the L-29 was adequate, as aircraft got faster and more manueverable, the Delfin was becoming obsolete. In response, Aero designed the L-39 Albatros, a more advanced trainer, and L-29 production ended in 1974 after 3665 had been produced. Though most L-29 users replaced it with the L-39, some continued with the Delfin, and Angola and Georgia would use it as late as 2016. After the end of the Cold War, many Delfins became available on the open market, and while not as common as its Western equivalent--the T-33 Shooting Star--or its successor the L-39, L-29s are found in small numbers in the warbird community, and a few have raced in the Reno Air Races.
This L-29 is a former Soviet Air Force aircraft, serial number 591734, Bort 523. It was probably retired in the 1980s, and was acquired by an American warbird collector in 1997. When the owner was tragically killed in a helicopter crash in 2013, Bort 523 was donated to the Inde Motorsports Ranch, where it had been stored. While most Soviet L-29s were bare metal, the former owner painted it in this nice-looking gray and blue camouflage.

A sad realization has come to me over the last few months, with NS starting to pull the 9400 and 9500 series Dash 9's out of service for conversion to AC44C6M's, it's only a matter of time before the thoroughbred painted Dash 9's (without the white stripe on the roof) will be nothing but a memory. I'm starting to now go out of my way to shoot these things, most of them well worn with parts of their paint melted, filthy and rusty. But it provides a look back to NS' better days, before all of the PSR and corporate shenanigans took place within the last few years.
With that being said, here we see thoroughbred Dash 9 #9709 heading east by Millbury with intermodal train 264 (formerly 22K) in tow.

Linda Lewis’s surreal digital composition, “Miscalculation Realization,” confronts the viewer with an apocalyptic vision that merges classical symbolism with contemporary existential dread—most pointedly, the catastrophic consequences of climate change.
The digital photomontage shows a nude man, with a white cloth draped over his shoulder. He is kneeling on the ground, his hands are open, and his face is lifted towards the sky. This posture indicates deference, and is a primal behavior. This man is clearly beyond saving from the inferno of burning sand and violent fire he is engulfed by. It could also be interpreted as seeking deliverance from the current situation.
Next to the figure rests an abacus—a powerful metaphor for the failure of humans to pay heed to climate change predictions. The man finally realizes that the predictions were correct, and he submits to this knowledge. In this reading, the image becomes a stark allegory for the hubris of modern civilization, that ignored decades of scientific warnings and now kneels, too late, before the flames it helped ignite.
The environmental message is blisteringly clear. The landscape is not simply infernal—it resembles a climate-ravaged Earth, stripped bare by wildfires, drought, and ecological devastation. The man, perhaps a stand-in for humanity itself, is caught at the moment of horrifying clarity: that civilization has miscalculated the fragility of its own ecosystem.
Miscalculation Realization is a haunting indictment of our failure (refusal) to heed the warnings of climate science, wrapped in the fire-and-ash aesthetic of mythic reckoning. Linda Lewis holds up a mirror to our collective delusion—that we could endlessly calculate, consume, and control nature without consequence. This is not just an image of the end—it is the moment after the final calculation, when the answer has arrived, and it is burning.

University of the Future
Internationalism, innovation, diversity – the new Campus WU is the concrete realization of WU’s vision for a modern university. The fundamental principles of the new architecture reflect the values and ideas we cherish at WU.
As a public institution, WU has lived up to its responsibility of building its new campus in an economical, ecological, and socially sustainable manner. WU’s decision to locate the new campus in Vienna’s second district will redefine this area and transform it into an educational hub. We have not only constructed new buildings, but in the process we have also given concrete realization to our ideas of what the university of the future should look like. The new campus is more than just a place for academic research and teaching and learning practical skills; it is also designed to create a new space for social, cultural, and political life.
The imposing Library & Learning Center (LC), designed by the Iraqi-British architect Zaha Hadid, is a testament to the central importance of research and teaching at WU. The Library & Learning Center is surrounded by five building complexes, including the Teaching Center, which houses most of WU’s auditoriums. The Teaching Center is intended mainly for bachelor degree students, while the master degree programs are taught primarily in the individual Department buildings. The Executive Academy building is the home of continuing education and life-long learning programs. In this way, the various buildings and their functions reflect the three tiers of teaching and learning represented by the Bologna Process.
WU’s Department-based organizational structure was also a contributing factor. In the past, the various Institutes that make up the Departments were scattered across different locations. Now they have been brought together in four Department buildings, which will make life much easier for both students and faculty.
These are not the only improvements the new campus has to offer: All rooms have natural light, and the auditoriums feature state-of-the-art teaching equipment, including digital whiteboards. There are 3,000 student workplaces, three times as many as in the old buildings in Vienna’s ninth district. These workplaces are located not only in the dedicated self-study areas, but also in project rooms that can be booked by teaching staff and students alike. They cater to different needs by providing quiet spots for focused academic work as well as opportunities for work on group projects in communicationfriendly study areas.
The top priority in planning the new campus was to create an environment for WU students and staff that is conducive to productive work and communication.
Not only the buildings themselves, but also the surrounding grounds offer plenty of opportunities for communication and meeting people. 55,000 m² of Campus WU’s total 100,000 m² of floor and surface area is open, publicly accessible space. Fences or barriers would contradict our vision of an open campus.
Visitors and area residents are more than welcome at Campus WU. The campus offers not only food for thought, but also restaurants, cafés, and shops, all in a stimulating architectural environment.
As different as they may look, however, the buildings are all based on the same overall technical concept: the building infrastructure is standardized in terms of construction, energy supply, ventilation, and sanitary facilities. The entire campus has been designed in accordance with “green building” principles. Much of the required energy is obtained using geothermal energy from groundwater.
Another key feature of Campus WU is barrier-free accessibility. All auditoriums are specially equipped for people with disabilities, all areas are designed to be wheelchair accessible, and the campus also features a tactile guidance system for the visually impaired.
We have not only made sure to comply with all relevant legal guidelines, but we have also drawn on experience gained from best practice examples. WU aims to play a pioneering role – in all respects.
Harpa color series. The Iceland landscape was phenomenal, but I continued to be fascinated by the Harpa, which is the performing arts center. The architecture is stunning and inspired a burst of creativity.

What would become the largest air cargo airline in history was begun by entrepreneur Fred Smith. While Smith’s realization of the explosion in air cargo services that would occur in the 1970s was by no means unique, his approach to it was. Smith decided that air cargo carriers of the time were too dependent on cooperation between themselves and airlines (which frequently did not happen), were too slow, and in any case completely dependent on ground carriers to carry goods from the airport to the end consumer. Smith wanted to found a company that would own everything from delivery trucks to services to its own airline, which would keep both operating costs and customer costs low, not to mention simplifying the entire process. Smith founded his new company as Federal Express in 1971 and began flights in April 1973. Because of restrictions on all-cargo routes and a lack of capital, Smith started small, with a fleet of 25 Dassault Falcon 20s. The Falcon was originally intended as a business jet; Federal Express used them as high-speed couriers.
Federal Express struggled, flirting with bankruptcy on several occasions, until the airline industry was deregulated in the late 1970s. This applied to cargo airlines as well, and loosened the restrictions on them. Federal Express was then able to purchase larger Boeing 727s, which allowed the company to move both larger packages and more of them. Added to the company becoming the first to computerized parcel tracking and management, and Federal Express was poised for huge growth during the 1980s. By 1989, it was the largest air cargo airline in the United States, and when it acquired Flying Tigers in the same year, it could expand its influence to Asia as well; European destinations were already being served.
Federal Express—which in 1994 adopted the common FedEx abbreviation as its name—had largely achieved Smith’s dream by the early 1990s, owning a gigantic number of ground trucks, stores, customs companies, and other services in addition to its growing air fleet. It continued to expand and prosper, becoming the first air cargo company to have a presence on the internet. In 2000, the air system became known as FedEx Express to differentiate itself from other branches of the Federal Express company (such as FedEx Ground). It partnered with the US Postal Service in 2001, adding yet more mail and cargo to its system.
Increasing operating costs have caused some cutbacks beginning in 2009 and the retirement of older aircraft, but FedEx Express is, by far, still the largest air cargo carrier in the world. In addition to its worldwide network, FedEx contracts with smaller, independent airlines to carry small cargo packages in regional areas, known as FedEx Feeder. As such, it is the largest operator of several aircraft types, including the McDonnell Douglas MD-11, and its Feeder system relies on no less than 250 Cessna Caravan 208s.
FedEx is one of the airlines that operates into Great Falls, which is a regional hub for it, regularly operating Airbus A310s, Boeing 757s, and Caravans. As such, it is well represented in the Poletto Collection! This Boeing 727 is finished in FedEx's 1970s-1980s colors, a very attractive purple over white.
Self Realization….
Sometimes I find it hard Being me…I work to realize my worth….
I know who I am….what makes me tick….
I have had a great desire for others to find it worth delving just beneath the surface…to see what I usually keep hidden.
Recently I have come to a strong realization. My desire for others to seek out what is underneath is not important….If I remain true to myself….to who I am…it will be seen….by ones that have the heart to see it…That is all that is important……

What is Hindu Salvation?
Hindu Salvation is the process by which a person realizes that he/she is NOT the perishable body but the Atman-the immortal soul within.

I look like I'm waitin' for someone to just make my day here, but really...I'm trying to just be at peace with my situation, the path I'm taking, the friends I'm making. My dad said some things to me today that really made me stop. think. cry.
I'm ok, I do know that much.
There's nothing spectacular about it, but it gives me warm fuzzies. This store is probably the coolest place in Ocean Springs. It's all Walter Anderson branded items; purses, jewelry, paintings, clothing, cards, home furnishings and it's all in the L&N Train Depot downtown. I just like the warm, toned down colors in this shot. I wish I shot further up to get the top of the clothesline as a leading line, but I can always go back.
I was only thinking of shooting reflection of flash in this photo but during processing when I increases the brightness it shows me a "Path of Karma", i.e.. 'Geeta' at the right corner.
Literary Analysis
The choice of Psalm 113 as the introductory “Hallelujah” psalm in the Hallel Service of the prayer book was obviously dictated by the realization that this psalm is the paradigm for all Hallelujah psalms. It opens with a command or invitation to the worshipers, “the servants of the Lord,” to give praise to the Lord and proceeds with several examples of the Lord's majesty and goodness. The worshipers are enjoined to praise the Name of the Lord, His glorious manifestation among mankind. This call to praise the Lord is rendered in a stirring sequence of rhythms and repetitions suggesting a public invitation to prayer. The second verse, “Let the Name of the Lord be blessed now and forever,” is well-known as the response to the opening invitation to praise of the Lord in The Grace After Meals (Birkat hamazon). Its antiphonal usage may, indeed, have its roots in the original psalmic tradition.
The psalm turns to the omnipresence of the Lord's Name, His reputation generated by the manifestations of his deeds; it embraces the earth from the place of sunrise to that of sunset, both crucial acts of nature controlled by the Lord. Moreover, just as He “is exalted above all nations, “His glory is above the heavens.” The psalmist moves subtly here from the outward manifestation of the Lord's majesty to His transcendence above nature, even above the heavens. The uniqueness of the Lord is reaffirmed in verses 5 and 6 which comprise the heart of the psalm, the wonder of this God who is so transcendentally exalted, yet concerned with what happens among mankind below on earth. The combination of these two polar opposites are bound in sound by the seemingly rhymed, archaized suffixes: "hamagbihi" (who sits on high) in v. 5 with “hamashpili” (he who sees below) in v. 6.
The high/low contrast is continued in the next two verses in “mekimi” (He raises) and “moshivi” (He sets on high): the Lord, through His power and benevolence, raises the poor and the needy, He sets them with the great men of His people.” Verses 7 and 8 form an exquisite cluster of correspondences and parallels. “Mekimi” (He raises) in v. 7 corresponds to lehoshivi (to set them) in v. 8 in both meaning and sound. Within each of these two verses, the second part of the verse echoes its first part so that v, 8 also echoes v. 7. Their use of repeated prepositions is balanced: in v, 7 we have the “mi” (from ) twice while in v. 8 we find two instances of “im” (with) in precisely the same position of the sentence as in v. 8.
These two verses, 7 and 8, surprisingly prepare us for verse 9, since all three verses echoes verses from the second chapter of Samuel I, the prayer of thanksgiving Hannah sings when the Lord frees her from her childlessness by granting her a child, the prophet Samuel. Though the names are absent from verse 9, the psalmist and his audience could not miss the reference to this classical instance of God's power and mercy in setting (again “moshive”) “the childless woman (akara) amid her household as a happy mother of children.” The help the Lord extends to childless women is as old as Sarah and Abraham in Genesis. This Hallelujah psalm thus ends climactically with a well-known example, both from real life and literature, that all worshipers can identify with. The repeated use of the archaized form of these adjectives marks them as significant epithets of the Lord; these attributes add details to the characterization of His Name. In both theme and its execution, this psalm is obviously the quintessence of psalmic expression, hence richly deserving of its place as the first psalm of the traditional Hallel Service of the Prayer Book.
