Trippy visits Pearl Harbor. The battleship USS MIssouri, on board which the official surrender documents ending the Second World War were signed, is on the left. The control tower for the Ford Island airfield is in the center. The USS Arizona Memorial, where the war began for the United States, is to the right.
This dramatic photo superbly portrays the chronology of the war. Symbolizing the mores of the aggressor nation, the photo is interpreted from right to left, in accordance with the customs of Japanese writing. On the right is the Arizona Memorial, site of a Japanese victory and America's first significant loss in the conflict, and a rallying point for the subsequent call to arms. In the center, standing alone and undaunted amid the smoldering rubble of the attack, rises the Ford Island air station control tower, representing America's air superiority that would eventually signal the end of Japan's quest for power in the west. To the left rides the majestic Mighty Mo'. Not yet built at the onset of hostilities, the deck of the battleship USS Missouri served as the site of Japan's eventual unconditional surrender.
The late afternoon light, providing a glittering radiance to the scene, offers a direct antithesis to Japan's wartime emblem, the "Rising Sun." Looming over the entire panorama is the eerily glowing "dragon" figure in the foreground, representing the savage destructive power of the atom bomb which ultimately quelled the conflict. Further, the "atomic dragon," gazing implacably at the relics of the last conventional war, symbolizes the obsolescence of traditional conflict; yet, with its back turned to the viewer and a misty, ætherial appearance, it also suggests a force that is not fully controlled or understood; an awesome power embodying a callous and terrifying disregard for human life.

Millennium Park, Chicago, Illinois, United States
Late afternoon photo of the Cloud Gate public outdoor sculpture in Millennial Park. I flew in to Chicago from Baltimore in the morning, checked in to my hotel, went downtown for lunch and an architecture tour with the Chicago Architecture Foundation, then snapped this picture before heading back to change for a friend's evening wedding. I managed to cram a lot into this day.
Covered walkway (and how welcome when it's raining), on the Greenwich Peninsula, with absolutely nothing nearby except a "David Beckham Academy", whatever that might be. Holly is a dot in the distance.

Millennials: An Overview
Born in a time where cell phones, laptops, remote controls, and travels to outer space are the norm, the Millennials are living in a world ubiquitous with technology. And the studies show they’ll still see more change in their lifetime than any other generation. Along with ever-present technology, the Millennials have mostly known affluence in their lives. For the majority of their lives they’ve only seen a growing economy. The recent economic downturns are the first change in the nation’s economic pace they’ve experienced.
Children of the Boomers and the oldest Xers, the Millennials have lived protected by their parents. Threats to them are of a different variety than any of the other generations have lived with as children – rogue individuals with nuclear weapons, unchecked violence from their peers, and terrorism in their home nation (and, in one case, by their own countrymen). The parent’s response is to insulate and protect their children, to carefully guide them through life, and to constantly build their self-esteem. Their lives thus far are epitomized by the yellow placards ubiquitous a decade ago on every minivan and station wagon on the nation’s roads – “Baby On Board.” “Be mindful of my precious cargo,” they essentially say.
Today the Millennials are entering the workforce in droves. A population whose size will rival the Boomers, the Millennials come into the workplace looking for the opportunity to learn and move about. They want to be close with their peers and search for leadership from their bosses and supervisors. They’re an army waiting to be guides, but they play by different rules.
Millennials in the workplace
In the workplace, the Millennials:
* Search for the individual who will help them achieve their goals.
* Want open, constant communication and positive reinforcement from their boss.
* Find working with someone of the Mature generation easy to do.
* Search for a job that provides great, personal fulfillment.
* Are searching for ways to shed the stress in their lives.
Millenials in the marketplace
In the marketplace, the Millennials:
* Want to be like their peers but with a unique twist.
* Don’t want to be hurried.
* Will consider a company’s products if the company is known for their altruistic attitude.
* Are loyal consumers.
* Search for the unique and hard to find items.
