Interrelationships between the temples of Central Java (audio)
A number of suggestions have been made on interrelationships between Central Javanese temples, Borobudur, Pawon, Mendut, Sewu, and Loro Jonggrang. Also, a number of different suggestions have been made to place the monuments chronologically within the framework of Central Javanese history. In this lecture I wish to contribute to the discussions on interrelationships between Central Javanese temples on the basis of a study of the ornamentation adorning the Central Javanese temples.

Seeing an untapped source of inexpensive labor, the U.S. Labor Department worked with industry to facilitate the migration of Puerto Rican workers to America. During the First World War the War Department agreed to transport Puerto Rican workers to labor camps in the United States where they would be housed and fed while
"Seven All Together Went Down": A Family Disappears in the 1927 Mississippi Flood

In April 1927, after more than a month of rain, the river overflowed its banks in a flood which inundated more than 16 million acres of land in seven states, destroyed 40,000 buildings, washed away over $100 million in c
