Pondicherry has an interesting cross-cultural history and its built form lends a distinctive identity to the town. The old part of Pondicherry is known as the Boulevard Town since it is bounded by four boulevards that once constituted the outer limits of the city’s fortification. The Boulevard Town presents two distinct architectural styles in the Tamil and French quarters‚ which are separated by a canal and unified by a grid iron plan. The Government Square is the only major green space in Pondicherry

Von Trier presents the town of Dogville in a crummy‚ campy yet eye opening setting giving the sense of something bigger than itself. Despite being located in the Rocky Mountains near Georgetown‚ Dogville could be anywhere in the United States‚ but is a place defined by the gold rush of barely a couple years before‚ in the timeline of the film‚ and is a strong allegory to the state of the United States at the time of the films conception. The issues with the United States are apparent in the

Principles of X-ray Diffraction Diffraction effects are observed when electromagnetic radiation impinges on periodic structures with geometrical variations on the length scale of the wavelength of the radiation. The interatomic distances in crystals and molecules amount to 0.15–0.4 nm which correspond in the electromagnetic spectrum with the wavelength of x-rays having photon energies between 3 and 8 keV. Accordingly‚ phenomena like constructive and destructive interference should become observable

As a students of U.S. history I have recently watch Tora Tora Tora‚ a movie about war world II and the bombing of Pearl Harbor that the Japanese exceeded on waking up the “sleeping Giants”. The title of this film is made up of the code-words that were used by the Japanese to indicate that complete surprise‚ meaning “charge” or “attack”.

The exhibition on the Chicago-born‚ Los Angeles-based sculptor dedicates an entire half of the Modern Wing’s second floor to a mere nineteen different sculptures. Based on the exhibit’s title and the sheer size of the rooms that they gave to these pieces‚ it is as if they are trying to edify the viewer to Ray’s value as a contemporary artist. However‚ as you go through the exhibition

Small Town Girl Many people are defined by their family‚ past experiences‚ or by how much money they own; for me location is a major defining factor of who I am as a person.

For many‚ a geographic location can hold a distinct meaning that may influence ones entire lifestyle‚ culture‚ and habits.
