"I was ill with cancer and had lot of fear. After attending the Self realization ceremony, felt really good. At times of fear, an internal voice came saying that you are a pure Soul.The illness is still not cured completely but i am not affected by anything as much as before. I am so grateful that this light of Pure soul within me acquired through Self-Realization has helped a lot.

Project: Since 1779, The Piece Hall has stood proudly at the heart of Halifax. Originally built to support the trading of ‘pieces’ of cloth, it has been a meeting point of Halifax’s commercial, civic and cultural life for almost 250 years. In an ambitious and exciting new chapter, The Piece Hall has been reimagined as a new cultural and commercial centre. The Piece Hall has recently undergone a £19 million conservation and transformation programme.

A beautiful place! I enjoyed a lovely afternoon here walking through their gardens, enjoying the amazing view, and meditating for a little while in their lovely chapel.
I was able to get extremely close to a hummingbird for the first time. A lady who frequents the Lake Shrine told me while I was chatting with her that there is a legend around the Shrine that if a hummingbird shows himself to you it is the Master Paramahansa Yogananda. I saw the same bird there 3 times during my short visit. He seemed to be following me around!
I felt so at peace and happy here!
The Lake Shrine Temple is located a quarter mile from the end of Sunset off the Pacific Coast Highway. It is a serene 10-acre spiritual sanctuary which surrounds a spring-fed lake filled with swans, ducks and koi. The grounds beneath the Self-Realization Fellowship temple recognizes all the religions of the world and promotes peace and fellowship among all men. Most prominent is a memorial containing some of the ashes of Mahatma Gandhi.

You know you are a big contender on the political scene when you roll deep in an Alto. As I've mentioned before, Japanese law limits the number of citizens you can simultaneously campaign to, so politicians often drive around or stand on street corners making campaign promises.

In my head
Well, I had the realization
Recently creep in
That you could work your whole life
And come out right at even
...There was comfort in the liquor, comfort in the bed
Comfort in the things she said
Now there ain't no way to ease this
Comfort in my--
Lonely in the liquor, lonely in the bed
Lonely in the things she said
Now there ain't no way to ease this
Lonely in my head

Towards the end of the Korean War, the USAF came to the realization that their transport fleet was becoming obsolete. The C-46 Commandos and C-47 Skytrains in service were no longer adequate, while the C-119 Flying Boxcar was having difficulties. In 1951, the USAF issued a requirement for a new tactical transport, an aircraft that would need to carry at least 72 passengers, be capable of dropping paratroopers, and have a ramp for loading vehicles directly into the cargo compartment. Moreover, it must be a “clean sheet” design, not a conversion from an existing airliner, and the USAF preferred it be a turboprop design. Five companies submitted designs, and six months later the USAF chose Lockheed’s L-402 design—over the misgivings of Lockheed’s chief designer, Clarence “Kelly” Johnson, who warned that the L-402 would destroy the company. Little was Johnson to know that, fifty years later, the L-402—designated C-130 Hercules by the USAF—would still be in production, and one out of only five aircraft to have over 50 years of service with the original purchaser.
The C-130 was designed to give mostly unfettered access to a large cargo compartment—the ramp forms an integral part of the rear fuselage, the wing is mounted above the fuselage, and the landing gear is carried in sponsons attached to the fuselage itself, while the fuselage has a circular design to maximize loading potential. The high wing also gives the C-130 good lift, especially in “high and hot” situations. The Allison T56 turboprop was designed specifically for the Hercules, and has gone on to become one of the most successful turboprop designs in history.
After two YC-130 prototypes, the Hercules went into production as the C-130A in 1956, to be superseded by the improved C-130B in 1959. The latter became the baseline Hercules variant: C-130As had three-blade propellers and a rounded “Roman” nose, while the B introduced the more familiar, longer radar nose and four-blade propellers. (Virtually all A models were later retrofitted to the long nose, though they kept the three-blade propellers.) In the 50 years hence, the basic C-130 design has not changed much: the C-130E introduced underwing external fuel tanks, while the C-130H has a slightly different wing. Even the new C-130J variant only introduced new engines with more fuel efficient six-bladed propellers: the basic design remains the same. Lockheed also offers stretched versions of the Hercules, initially as a civilian-only option (the L-100-30); the British Royal Air Force bought this version as the C-130K and it was later adopted by other nations, including the United States.
The basic C-130 is strictly a transport aircraft, but the versatility of the aircraft has meant it has been modified into a dizzying number of variants. These include the AC-130 Spectre gunship, the HC-130 rescue aircraft and WC-130 weather reconnaissance version. Other versions include several dozen EC-130 electronic warfare/Elint variants, KC-130 tankers, and DC-130 drone aircraft controllers. The USAF, the US Navy, and the US Marine Corps are all C-130 operators as well. Besides the United States, there are 67 other operators of C-130s, making it one of the world’s most prolific aircraft, with its only rivals the Bell UH-1 Iroquois family and the Antonov An-2 Colt biplane transport. C-130s are also used extensively by civilian operators as well as the L-100 series.
The “Herky Bird,” as it is often nicknamed, has participated in every military campaign fought by the United States since 1960 in one variation or the other. During Vietnam, it was used in almost every role imaginable, from standard transport to emergency bomber: as the latter, it dropped M121 10,000 pound mass-focus bombs to clear jungle away for helicopter landing zones, and it was even attempted to use C-130s with these bombs against the infamous Thanh Hoa Bridge in North Vietnam. (Later this capability was added as standard to MC-130 Combat Talon special forces support aircraft; the MC-130 is the only aircraft cleared to carry the GBU-43 MOAB.) It was also instrumental in resupplying the Khe Sanh garrison during its three-month siege. Hercules crews paid the price as well: nearly 70 C-130s were lost during the Vietnam War. In foreign service, C-130s have also been used heavily, the most famous instance of which was likely the Israeli Entebbe Raid of 1976, one of the longest-ranged C-130 missions in history. C-130s are often in the forefront of humanitarian missions to trouble spots around the world, most recently in the 2011 Sendai earthquake disaster in Japan.
As of this writing, over 2300 C-130s have been built, and most are still in service. It remains the backbone of the USAF’s tactical transport service; attempts to replace it with the Advanced Tactical Transport Program (ATTP) in the 1980s and to supplement it with the C-27J Spartan in the 2000s both failed, as the USAF realized that the only real replacement for a C-130 is another C-130.
I wasn't expecting this C-130H of the 120th Airlift Wing (Montana ANG) to give me such a headache trying to figure out just which C-130 it is. However, after almost an hour trying to find tail numbers, I might just have it: this isn't an operational C-130. It's 91-9144...I think.
Assuming this is 91-9144, it's one of the last C-130H models produced. It was delivered around 1993 to the 914th Airlift Wing (Reserve) at Niagara Falls International Airport, and served with that unit until 2005, when it was sent to the 934th AW (Reserve) at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport...and then in 2008, it returned to the 914th. In 2019, 91-9144 was sent to the 908th AW (Reserve) at Maxwell AFB, and was probably retired when the unit became the 908th Flying Training Wing with MH-139A Grey Wolf helicopters.
And that's where things get mysterious. According to internet resources, 91-9144 was indeed retired, flown to Little Rock AFB, Arkansas, and went into storage. In 2023, it was last seen with its wings off. However, if the tail number is right on this aircraft, here it is in July 2026 looking pretty intact, in Montana ANG colors, sitting on the ramp at Great Falls International Airport. Moreover, the 120th AW has transitioned to C-130Js and retired their C-130Hs...so what is 91-9144 doing in Great Falls, assuming this *is* 91-9144?
My best guess is that this is indeed 91-9144, but at some point after 2023, it was either put back together and flown to Great Falls, or it was transported inside a C-17 or C-5. As the 120th no longer has C-130Hs, it would make sense that 91-9144 is being used as a ground instruction trainer, and was simply towed over to the terminal building. The fact that it only has the "Montana" tail stripe and not the full Charlie Russell skull-and-mountain emblem of the 120th would support this.
Well, whichever C-130 this is, it was parked at the Great Falls International Airport terminal building, which was celebrating its 50th anniversary and the completion of recent renovations. The 120th brought the aircraft over so people could tour it on the normally closed to the public tarmac. I got this interesting view of it from the boarding area, which was also open to the public rather than just passengers.
Messe Basel - New Hall
Basel, Switzerland
Project 2004-2012, realization 2010-2013
Urban and entrepreneurial planning
The concentration of exhibition halls around the Messeplatz (Exhibition Square) is the key entrepreneurial aim of the Messe Basel leadership in its further development. Building the Messe Tower and replacing Hall 1 with a highly modern building and optimum exhibition areas were the first components in this strategy, followed by the continuing construction of new halls.
This concentration of exhibition centre activities is also an important urban planning matter for the development of the surrounding Kleinbasel neighbourhood, aimed at regaining outlying exhibition spaces on the present Deutsche Bahn (German Railways) area for apartments, offices and small businesses while simultaneously upgrading the Messeplatz as a focal point in Kleinbasel.
Necessary demolition
Achieving this entrepreneurial as well as urban planning aim of congegrating the Messe and at the same time retaining the important Watch and Jewellery Fair within Basel, required the replacement of two halls on the Messeplatz (Hall 1 at the front and Hall 3). These halls no longer fulfilled modern exhibition requirements in terms of ceiling heights, column spacing or load bearing capacity of the floors. It was also important that all halls be interconnected to ensure flexibility for various events, and that nearby car parking facilities should be retained.
Necessary construction
Fulfilling exhibition requirements for large volumes and uninterrupted floor areas, the New Hall is a three-storey extension of Hall 1 along the Riehenring. To provide indoor connection to all exhibition halls, the new building bridges over the Messeplatz and creates a covered public space, perhaps comparable to a railway station concourse or indoor market, realized in a modern design language. This key architectural and urban planning element defines the south end of the Messeplatz and is illuminated from above by a generous circular opening.
Planned for many uses and events that will take place during and between exhibitions, and featuring restaurants and shops intended for a mix of international, local, exhibition, and public visitors, we have named this new outdoor hall the City Lounge. Open at all times, the City Lounge not only defines the entrance to the fair spaces, but will be a focal point of public life on Clarastrasse (the main shopping street in Kleinbasel) and will significantly enliven the street culture around the Messeplatz. For example, during the autumn fair the partially covered hall will create a fascinating atmosphere with smaller booths and aisles open to, yet protected, from the elements.
City Lounge and Messeplatz
With the addition of the New Hall, current activities on the Messeplatz will continue, but they will take place in a space with different proportions. What was once an elongated rectangle that more or less ran into Clarastrasse without noticeable demarcation is now almost a square with clearer urban definition.
A new “lane” between the New Hall and existing multi-storey car park offers better access to Messeplatz for pedestrians. Connecting east to the adjacent residential area around Riehenstrasse and Peter Rot-Strasse, this “lane” is a continuation of Isteinerstrasse and creates a new east-west link which integrates the Messeplatz into the quarter. Service and supply to the New Hall will be mainly through an underground route, thus reducing truck traffic on Riehenstrasse.
The Messeplatz is a pedestrian and cyclist precinct. Together with the adjacent Rosentalanlage, the Messeplatz will be the main outdoor space for the many residents of the Messe district. The green belt along the Messeplatz-Wettsteinplatz link will be enhanced by more trees on Riehenstrasse to visually connect the exhibition centre to the Rosentalanlage.
What is an exhibition hall today?
Ideally, exhibition halls should be as spacious as possible, rectangular in layout, with wide spans and ceiling heights of around 10 m, in order to provide the flexibility and versatility required for exhibition purposes. In recent years, the demand for such generous spaces has further increased.
Taking Baselworld as a leading example of a modern international exhibition, where the halls are animated by the individual exhibitors’ stands, the goods on display and the crowds of visitors, the question of an exhibition hall architecture does not seem to be a primary demand. Architecture is only perceptible in public areas and stairways and only there can an interface with the wider public landscape of the city emerge. The best illustration of this is the round courtyard in Hall 2. Regrettably, this courtyard is only accessible during exhibitions as it is undoubtedly one of the most attractive public areas in Basel and, especially during Art Basel in June, one of the most successful urban meeting points in the whole of Switzerland. The City Lounge aims to turn the inward-looking architecture of the round courtyard towards the outside and to make it accessible all year round.
How do we design an exhibition hall on the outside?
Viewed from the outside, exhibition halls are actually nothing more than a stack of big boxes. They require very few windows and architectural distinctions are deemed as impractical restrictions on interior flexibility. The architectural results are generally composed of vast, monotonous facades of brick as in Hall 2 or glass for Hall 1. To avoid this repetitive sameness, we took a different approach for the New Hall.
The New Hall features three exhibition levels. The entrance level, the lowest, is at grade with the street and outdoor square, permitting a natural and casual coming-and-going. Ground floor entrances seamlessly link the City Lounge to the existing Hall 1, former Hall 3, the new event space for 2’500 spectators, and a number of shops, bars and restaurants in the foyers. The dynamic sweep of the street level facade reacts to the flows of people and corresponds to the space required at the tram stop and entrances to the exhibition centre and Event Hall. Here, large expanses of glass create the spatial transparency both necessary and appropriate in order to achieve the openness envisioned for the exhibition hall complex and the enlivening of public urban life. This vitalisation and acceptance will be crucial to the long-term success of the "Messezentrum in the city" concept.
Above the ground will be two exhibition floors. To avoid the “big box” effect, the two upper volumes are offset from each other as separate entities, which indeed they are! The New Hall therefore consists of three individual elements, one on top of the other, each projecting over the street in varying degrees, and allowing them to respond to different urban conditions. From each point of view – whether from the Riehenring, Messeplatz or Riehenstrasse – the New Hall offers a different perception every time and thus avoids the monotony of uniform facade lines.
This constant architectural variation is reinforced, paradoxically, by applying a homogeneous material (aluminum) over all exterior surfaces. The facade of articulated twisting bands strategically modulates and reduces the scale of the large exhibition volumes to its surroundings. This is not simply a decorative element but a practical means to regulate the fall of natural light on adjacent properties and to frame specific views from individual spaces, primarily the social areas above the City Lounge, towards the public life of the city.

In this video, Pujya Deepakbhai describes about His self-realization experiences. He took Gnan from Dada Bhagwan in the year 1971 and experienced inner bliss. Slowly He got to understand this spiritual science and the reality of this universe. He began to understand what is pure Soul, what are other elements, mind, intellect, ego and how are the anger, pride, greed and deceit, etc. working and felt separation from His body or the relative Self. While studying also, He felt that His inner awareness is completely separate from what was going on the outside like studies, business etc. Even though the ego had suffering at times, but He could stay separate from the ego as well. This is a non-contradictory science. With even a single wrong belief we will not get the exact result. By studying Dada's literature His understanding of this science is very clear and is in His experience with the grace of Dada Bhagwan. He can very well experience separation from any anger, pride, deceit, greed that may arise.
