  • Fascinating Color Portrait Photos of Women Railroad Workers During WWII<br />
<br />
World War II began when Hitler's army invaded Poland on September 1, 1939. However, it wasn't until the day after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, that the United States declared war on the Axis Powers.<br />
<br />
The railroads immediately were called upon to transport troops and equipment heading overseas. Soon the efforts increased to supporting war efforts on two fronts-- in Europe and in the Pacific.<br />
<br />
Prior to the 1940s, the few women employed by the railroads were either advertising models, or were responsible primarily for cleaning and clerical work. Thanks to the war, the number of female railroad employees rose rapidly. By 1945, some 116,000 women were working on railroads. A report that appeared on the 1943 pages of Click Magazine regarding the large number of American women who had stepped forward to see to it that the American railroads continued to deliver the goods during the Second World War:<br />
<br />
    "Nearly 100,000 women, from messengers aged 16 to seasoned railroaders of 55 to 65, are keeping America's wartime trains rolling. So well do they handle their jobs that the railroad companies, once opposed to hiring any women, are adding others as fast as they can get them..."<br />
<br />
In April 1943, Office of War Information photographer Jack Delano photographed the women of the Chicago & North Western Railroad roundhouse in Clinton, Iowa, as they kept the hulking engines cleaned, lubricated and ready to support the war effort.<br />
<br />
Photo shows: Cloe Weaver, mother of four, a roundhouse helper training to operate the turntable.<br />

    "Nearly 100,000 women, from messengers aged 16 to seasoned railroaders of 55 to 65, are keeping America's wartime trains rolling. So well do they handle their jobs that the railroad companies, once opposed to hiring any women, are adding others as fast as they can get them..."<br />
<br />
In April 1943, Office of War Information photographer Jack Delano photographed the women of the Chicago & North Western Railroad roundhouse in Clinton, Iowa, as they kept the hulking engines cleaned, lubricated and ready to support the war effort.<br />

World War II began when Hitler's army invaded Poland on September 1, 1939. However, it wasn't until the day after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, that the United States declared war on the Axis Powers.<br />
<br />
The railroads immediately were called upon to transport troops and equipment heading overseas. Soon the efforts increased to supporting war efforts on two fronts-- in Europe and in the Pacific.<br />
<br />
Prior to the 1940s, the few women employed by the railroads were either advertising models, or were responsible primarily for cleaning and clerical work. Thanks to the war, the number of female railroad employees rose rapidly. By 1945, some 116,000 women were working on railroads.

  • America's pyramid: Photos reveal the Egyptian-esque missile facility used by the U.S. military to detect and launch ICBMs<br />
<br />
Anyone traveling through Nekoma, North Dakota - a stone's throw from the Canadian border on the way to the exact middle of nowhere - might be shocked to find an enormous pyramid jutting above the horizon. As well they should be - this is North Dakota, not Egypt.<br />
But this American pyramid was once home to one of the United States military's anti-ballistic missile defense system with the Cold War-era goal of shooting down Soviet missiles before they ever reached their intended targets - and likely killing thousands of Americans.<br />
The Nekoma pyramid is part of a cluster of military facilities once known as the Stanley R. Mickelsen Safeguard Complex, named after U.S. Army Air Defense Commanding General Stanley Mickelsen.<br />
<br />
Construction of the Complex was completed in 1975. The Complex's pyramid served as its Missile Site Radar base that essentially scanned all directions in search of airborne objects that may pose a threat to the U.S.<br />
The pyramid-shaped radar facility was complete with 30 Spartan missiles and 16 of the shorter-range Sprints missiles, all of which were held in underground launch silos.<br />
The location of the pyramid is cryptically explained as 'Northeast of Tactical Road; southeast of Tactical Road South' - a sparsely populated section of one of the most sparsely populated states in the U.S.<br />
As a whole, the Complex was armed with launch and control pads for 30 LIM-49 Spartan anti-ballistic missiles, and 70 shorter-range Sprint anti-ballistic missiles in support of the Army's Safeguard anti-ballistic missile program.<br />
On February 10, 1976, the site was officially deactivated - after less than a year of being operational.<br />
The Library of Congress, however, has a stunning set of images that shows the various states of construction and completion.<br />
The photos were taken for the government by photographer Benjammin Halpern<br />

Construction of the Complex was completed in 1975. The Complex's pyramid served as its Missile Site Radar base that essentially scanned all directions in search of airborne objects that may pose a threat to the U.S.<br />
The pyramid-shaped radar facility was complete with 30 Spartan missiles and 16 of the shorter-range Sprints missiles, all of which were held in underground launch silos.<br />
The location of the pyramid is cryptically explained as 'Northeast of Tactical Road; southeast of Tactical Road South' - a sparsely populated section of one of the most sparsely populated states in the U.S.<br />
As a whole, the Complex was armed with launch and control pads for 30 LIM-49 Spartan anti-ballistic missiles, and 70 shorter-range Sprint anti-ballistic missiles in support of the Army's Safeguard anti-ballistic missile program.<br />
On February 10, 1976, the site was officially deactivated - after less than a year of being operational.<br />
The Library of Congress, however, has a stunning set of images that shows the various states of construction and completion.<br />
The photos were taken for the government by photographer Benjammin Halpern<br />

  • America's pyramid: Photos reveal the Egyptian-esque missile facility used by the U.S. military to detect and launch ICBMs<br />
<br />
Anyone traveling through Nekoma, North Dakota - a stone's throw from the Canadian border on the way to the exact middle of nowhere - might be shocked to find an enormous pyramid jutting above the horizon. As well they should be - this is North Dakota, not Egypt.<br />
But this American pyramid was once home to one of the United States military's anti-ballistic missile defense system with the Cold War-era goal of shooting down Soviet missiles before they ever reached their intended targets - and likely killing thousands of Americans.<br />

  • ABANDONED AT&T Switching Equipment Nuclear Bomb Shelter<br />
<br />
Constructed in 1967, the 7,700 square-foot bomb shelter was built by AT&T in the event of a disaster to house five people for up to 30 days to keep the lines of communications open.<br />
<br />
The shelter was designed by Alfred Easton Poor, an American architect who was involved with many buildings and projects in New York City as well as multiple works in Washington, D.C. for the US Federal Government.<br />
<br />
Over his long career, Poor’s projects include both public and private sector works. Along with fellow New York architect Robert P. Rogers, Poor won the open international design competition for the Wright Brothers National Memorial in 1928.<br />
<br />
For the US Government, he worked on a project that restored and extended the East Front of the US Capitol building in the early 1960s, and was also a leading architect in designing the US Library of Congress’ James Madison Memorial Building, the third-largest public building in Washington.<br />
<br />
Poor was especially active in the New York City area. His projects include the Jacob K. Javits Federal Building, the Queens County Courthouse and prison in Kew Gardens, the Home Insurance Company Building, and the 40-acre Red Hook housing projects.<br />
<br />
Poor was chosen by Walter Annenberg to design the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania.<br />
<br />
According to his obituary in the New York Times, he also “designed dozens of branch offices in Manhattan and abroad for the Chemical, National City and Marine Midland banks” and “designed a number of Long Island country homes.” Unlike a fallout shelter that protects from radioactive debris, the main purpose of this shelter was to protect from shock waves and overpressure, though it could protect from fallout for a period of time as well. The front retaining wall is 3 feet thick, the roof slab is between 24-31 inches thick, and the concrete floors are 26 inches thick. Industrial springs were installed throughout the struc

Constructed in 1967, the 7,700 square-foot bomb shelter was built by AT&T in the event of a disaster to house five people for up to 30 days to keep the lines of communications open.<br />
<br />
The shelter was designed by Alfred Easton Poor, an American architect who was involved with many buildings and projects in New York City as well as multiple works in Washington, D.C. for the US Federal Government.<br />
<br />
Over his long career, Poor’s projects include both public and private sector works. Along with fellow New York architect Robert P. Rogers, Poor won the open international design competition for the Wright Brothers National Memorial in 1928.<br />
<br />
For the US Government, he worked on a project that restored and extended the East Front of the US Capitol building in the early 1960s, and was also a leading architect in designing the US Library of Congress’ James Madison Memorial Building, the third-largest public building in Washington.<br />
<br />
Poor was especially active in the New York City area. His projects include the Jacob K. Javits Federal Building, the Queens County Courthouse and prison in Kew Gardens, the Home Insurance Company Building, and the 40-acre Red Hook housing projects.<br />
<br />
Poor was chosen by Walter Annenberg to design the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania.<br />
<br />
According to his obituary in the New York Times, he also “designed dozens of branch offices in Manhattan and abroad for the Chemical, National City and Marine Midland banks” and “designed a number of Long Island country homes.” Unlike a fallout shelter that protects from radioactive debris, the main purpose of this shelter was to protect from shock waves and overpressure, though it could protect from fallout for a period of time as well. The front retaining wall is 3 feet thick, the roof slab is between 24-31 inches thick, and the concrete floors are 26 inches thick. Industrial springs were installed throughout the struc

'Unaccompanied’ - Children On The Border<br />
<br />
A new surge of unaccompanied children from Central American countries is expected at the U.S. southern border, as officials ask Congress for more money to handle them. Customs and Border Protection estimated 75,000 children may arrive at the ports of entry before the end of the current fiscal year. Already, the number of minors arriving at the border is growing, with 20,000 apprehended at the border in the first five months of the federal fiscal year - double the number from a year earlier. <br />
<br />
'Unaccompanied' is a visual story of youth immigrants who were among the thousands of children seeking refuge from the violence of Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala. Following Obama's statement announcing a humanitarian crisis on the border in summer 2014, these youth captured the national spotlight. Countless articles related sensationalized stories of tragic and violent journeys. Noticeably absent from the discourse were the voices and stories of the youth themselves. What circumstances drove the children to seek refuge on US soil? What challenges do they face adapting to a new life in a foreign land? ’Unaccompanied' provides these youth a platform to directly share their personal stories with the public, free from the bias of a political agenda, and elevate their individual and collective challenges. Unaccompanied child immigrants represent an entanglement of issues in both the countries they hail from and to. This project seeks to demonstrate the realities that youth immigrants face: the doubts, aspirations, complexity and humanity of their experience.<br />
