Curiosities

A fake neighborhood to hide Boeing B 17 Bomber factory

It seems like Hollywood did a great appareance during the World War II, because the United States Army needed to hire some people to design some escenarios, so they created a false neighrhood above Boeing Plant No. 2 where thousand of B-17 bombers were produced.

It was a really small neighborhood which had buildings that were just 4 feet tall and were made of wood to complete the illusion of a neighborhood that was covering about 26 acres. If the enemies could see this creation closer, they would noticed it was a camouflage for a plant that was producing thousands of bombers.

Rooftop

Those sets were devised by Hollywood set designers. All these girls were actually on the rooftop of the B 17 bomber factory in Washington.

Nothing out of the ordinary

This neighborhood was completed in 1944 and was removed a year after the war.

Daily activities

Buildings were just 4 feet tall and made of wood to complete the illusion of the neighborhood covering about 26 acres.

Hiding Air Bases

This fake neighborhood was meant to hide the presence of airplane production facilities, it had the size of eight football fields.

Fake trees

The ground was made of burlap, while the lawns and trees were chicken feathers and spun glass.

Streets

The series of a dozen square blocks was lifted forty feet in the air. It was never intended for human habitation.

Camouflage village

This village was built if any Japanese bombers made it this far to the east, they expected that Japanese pilots would mistake this for a quiet residential neighborhood.

Cars

Even the cars that seem to be parked on the streets were boxes that were created with the form of a car.

Details

The streets in this neighborhood were perfectly created, they tried to make it look even more real when they matched the streets with the real ones.

Receptionist in Boeing

We can see two receptionist at the Boeing Plant No. 2, Joyce Howe and Susan Heidenreich, walking at their garden like if it was a normal day.

Aerial View

This picture was taken about 1944 and we can see the village as the Japanese pilots would have watched it.

Before the change

There are thousand of workers reunited in front of the Boeing Plant during a ceremony that changed everything. After this the Plant was hidden.

Departure

This was the first B-52 A which is going to departure from the Boeing Plant in Seattle.

Pilots unable to identify the bases

Flights over camouflaged areas had positive results, because the pilots were unable to identify the bases, factories and plants.

Working hard

Women also were working at the Boeing Plant. They needed to have the airplanes ready for the war.

Rosie the Riveter

World wars were total wars and required governments to utilize their entire populations for the purpose of defeating their enemies, millions of women were encouraged to work in industry.

Flying Fortress

The B-17 was first employed by the United States Army Air Forces in the daylight strategic bombing campaign of World War II against German military targets.

Women workers

During World War I women across the United States were employed in jobs previously done by men.

Team work

30,000 people were working together in this place. Workers from the plane plant took an entirely opposite route to get out, heading down instead of up.

Pilots never were close

The camouflage would have been removed but it would hae been interesting to see if the camouflage netting would have proved successful, Japanese pilots never were so near to the neighborhood.

Human Foods That Are Toxic For Dogs

Having a pet at home might seem easy, but it’s actually as hard as having a baby, not only you have to take care of them but also feed and clean them. It’s important to know what food to give them and what food can be dangerous for any dog.

Keeping your dog healthy can be a little complicated if you don’t understand what food dogs should avoid at all cost because it’s not good for them. Take a look on what foods your dog should never eat.

Coffee is terrible for your pet

Any product with caffeine can have a similar effect on your dog to chocolate and could ultimately damage its heart. So, keep your coffee away from your little friend.

Just keep caffeine away

Caffeine all contain substances called methylxanthines, which are very dangerous to a pet’s health.

Milk?!

Many dogs find it difficult to digest the lactose in milk, butter and cheese because they don’t produce enough of the enzyme, lactase.

Dairy products can cause them...

The effects can range from a mild tummy upset to an irritating skin allergy.

No grapes for the dog!

Like dried fruit, grapes are highly toxic and should be kept away from your pet.

Sorry bud!

The pips and stones of some fruits, such as apples, plums and peaches, contain a chemical called amygdalin, which can cause a digestive upset. Large fruit stones are also a choking hazard, particularly for puppies and small breeds.

Not the whole apple!

The seeds of the apple contain toxic substances. Some of the symptoms that this cause them are hyperventilation, digestive problems and shortness of breath.

Never avocado

These fleshy green fruits contain a fungicidal toxin called persin which could give your dog a digestive upset. However, it’s the large avocado stone that presents most danger because it could potentially block the gastrointestinal tract, leaving your dog requiring surgery.

Candies or chewing gum

This artificial sweetener is used in sweets, cakes, toothpaste and chewing gum and has a laxative effect on humans. For dogs, though, an excess of xylitol could prove fatal because it starts a rapid release of the hormone insulin. Too much insulin affects the amount of glucose (sugar) in your dog’s blood which, in turn, could cause seizures and affect your pet’s liver.

Yes, chocolate!

Chocolate and cocoa-based products contain a stimulating substance called theobromine which is extremely poisonous to dogs. The darker the chocolate, the greater the risk. Even a few ounces of chocolate could leave your dog with sickness, diarrhoea, dehydration, and high blood pressure, and the effect is potentially worse in small breeds.

Sorry but no ice cream

Just as candies, ice cream contains xylitol and dairy as well. The symptoms of xylitol poisoning include weakness, vomiting and a lack of coordination, and it requires urgent veterinary attention.

Neither onion

Members of the allium family as garlic, leeks and onions contain a substance called organosulfides which could affect your dog’s red blood cells, too much garlic or onion could ultimately lead to anaemia.

Not even a bit

The symptoms take a few days to appear so if your dog appears sleepy and lethargic, head straight to your vet.

No alcohol

If a dog consumes just a small amount of alcohol, it can cause vomiting, diarrhea, central nervous system depression, problems with coordination, difficulty breathing, coma and even death.

No yeast

The smell of unbaked yeasty bread dough could attract your dog’s attention but it should always be kept out of reach. If eaten, the dough could expand dangerously in your dog’s stomach, and the fermented yeast could become toxic.

Not Nuts for them!

Nuts, including almonds, pecans and walnuts, contain high amounts of oils and fats, which can cause vomiting, diarrhea and even pancreatitis in pets.

Salt it's bad

Salt, as well as salt-heavy foods like chips and pretzels, can lead to excessive thirst and urination, and even sodium ion poisoning in pets. Some signs that your pet may have consumed too much salt include, vomiting, diarrhea, depression, tremors, elevated body temperature, seizures and even death.

Raw eggs!

Raw meat and eggs can often contain bacteria such as Salmonella and E. coli, which can be harmful to both pets and humans. According to the ASPCA, raw eggs also ‘contain an enzyme called avidin that decreases the absorption of biotin (a B vitamin), which can lead to skin and coat problems.’

Small bones are dangerous

Contrary to popular opinion, bones are bad for dogs. Not only can they potentially choke your dog, they can cause blockages in the gut, intestinal damage and chipped or broken teeth. Dental chews are a great way to assist oral health.

Foods with Xylitol

Xylitol is a type of artificial sweetener found in many sugar-free products, like gum and candy, as well as some nut butters like peanut butter. Xylitol can cause insulin release, which can lead to liver failure, seizures and brain damage.

Old photographs that show us the funny side of people

We are used to seeing old photographs and thinking about how serious people acted and were in those times. Although it was the norm when taking photographs back then that no one smiled, some of them were taken seconds later and show us that it was not like that at all.
