 * I'll review this article. There's one link on the link checker that shows up dead, but I don't think it really is. Seems to show up fine. MathewTownsend (talk) 12:34, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you for planning to review this article. That ref is not dead, but the same thing happens to me in linkcheck... not sure why.--Found5dollar (talk) 21:30, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

 * I just completed a rather major edit of the first paragraph. I'm trying to make it more concise. What do you think?
 * "Turtle Boy has become an unofficial mascot for Worcester, much in the same way the Manneken Pis is for Brussels." Is there a citation somewhere for this?
 * Also, it's a work of public art, isn't it? (one of the sources mentions this)
 * Do you mind if I go through and copy edit it? Your sources are good.

MathewTownsend (talk) 22:32, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

 * The first paragraph looks great now. There is a ref for the Manneken Pis statement in the "Turtle Boy" section. It is ref #3. Please copy edit this article to your hearts content. Copy editing is not my strong suit at all, I'm more of a researcher.--Found5dollar (talk) 03:46, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

Cookbook:Bulgur

| Basic foodstuffs | Cereal Grain

Bulgur, also called burghul, is wheat that has been prepared so that it can be used just by soaking.

Production
The wheat is first steamed to partially cook it before drying and grinding coarsely. The outer part of the bran is also removed. This produces small grains that take less time to cook than whole, raw grains.

Characteristics
Bulgar is light brown in color and comes in a couple different grades of coarseness. The finer the grade, the faster the grain cooks. Because bulgur does retain a portion of the bran, it retains some characteristics of whole grains such as chewiness and nutty flavor.

Selection and storage
Like with other grains, store bulgur in an airtight container away from light, heat, and moisture. It will keep for a couple years at room temperature but will eventually go rancid—freezing extends this shelf, though you will probably consume reasonable quantities before this is necessary. Bulgur can also be cooked before freezing.

Preparation
Because it is precooked, bulgur does not need to be fully cooked before consumption. Often, covering it in boiling water and allowing it to soak about about 15–30 minutes is sufficient. However, it can still be boiled like other grains.

Use
Bulgur is commonly used in many Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Indian dishes, including falafel, tabouli, and pilaf, and is often mixed with ground meat. It can be used similarly to rice and may be mixed with it to add flavor and texture.

Substitution
Cracked wheat is similar to bulgur—however, because it is not precooked, cracked wheat needs to be fully cooked before use and cannot be an exact substitute.

US History/Eisenhower Civil Rights Fifties

Civil Rights Movement under Eisenhower and Desegregation
The first events that would spark off the entire Civil Rights movement happened during the Eisenhower administration. In the south, there were many statewide laws that segregated many public facilities ranging from buses to water fountains. Southern African Americans now felt that their time had come to enjoy American democracy and they fought hard to end southern segregation policies.

Brown v. Board of Education
In 1952, seven year old Linda Brown, of Topeka, Kansas, wasn't permitted to attend a white-only elementary school that was only a few blocks from her house. In order to attend her coloreds-only school, Brown had to cross dangerous railroad tracks and take a bus for many miles. Her family sued the Topeka school board and lost, but appealed the case all the way to the Supreme Court. Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas came to the Supreme Court in December 1952. In his arguments, head lawyer for the NAACP, Thurgood Marshall, challenged the "Separate But Equal" doctrine established in Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896. He argued that schools could be separate, but never equal. On May 17, 1954, the Court gave its opinion. It ruled that it was unconstitutional to segregate schools, and ordered that schools integrate "with all deliberate speed."

Central High Confrontation
Integration would not be easy. Many school districts accepted the order without argument, but some, like the district of Little Rock, Arkansas, did not. On September 2, 1957, the day before the start of the school term the Arkansas Governor, Orval Faubus, instructed the National Guard to stop any black students entering the school. He claimed this was to protect the property against violence planned by integration protesters.

The federal authorities intervened and an injunction was granted preventing the National Guard from blocking the school and they were withdrawn on September 20. School restarted on 23 September, with the building surrounded by local police officers and nearly one thousand protesters. The police escorted nine black students, later known as the Little Rock Nine, into the school via a side door. When the crowd discovered the students had entered the building, they tried to storm the school and the black students were hurried out around lunch time.

Congressman Brooks Hays and the Little Rock mayor, Woodrow Mann, asked the federal government for more help. On September 24, Mann sent a message to President Eisenhower requesting troops. Eisenhower responded immediately and the 101st Airborne Division was sent to Arkansas. In addition, the President brought the Arkansas National Guard under federal control to prevent its further use by the Governor.

On September 25, 1957, the nine black students finally began their education properly, protected by 1,000 paratroopers.

Montgomery Bus Boycott
On December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks, a seamstress and secretary of the Montgomery, Alabama, the chapter of the NAACP, boarded a city bus with the intention of going home. She sat in the first row of seats in the "colored" section of the segregated bus. At the next stop, whites were among the passengers waiting to board but all seats in the "white" front dividing the black and white sections to accommodate the racial makeup of the passengers at any given moment. So he ordered the four blacks sitting in the first row of seats in the "colored" section to stand and move to the rear of the bus so the waiting whites could have those seats. Three of the passengers complied; Mrs. Parks did not. Warned again by the driver, she still refused to move, at which point the driver exited the bus and located a policeman, who came onto the bus, arrested Mrs. Parks, and took her to the city jail. She was booked for violating the segregation ordinance and was shortly released on bail posted by E. D. Nixon, the leading local civil rights activist. She was scheduled to appear in municipal court on December 5, 1955.

Mistreatment of African Americans on Montgomery's segregated buses was not uncommon, and several other women had been arrested in similar situations in the months preceding Parks's. However, Mrs. Parks was especially well-known and well-respected within the black community, and her arrest particularly angered the African Americans of Montgomery. In protest, community leaders quickly organized a one-day boycott of the buses to coincide with her December 5 court date. An organization, the Montgomery Improvement Association, was also created, and the new minister of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church, the 26-year-old Martin Luther King, Jr., was selected as the MIA's president. Word of the boycott spread effectively through the city over the weekend of December 3–4, aided by mimeographed fliers prepared the Women's Political Council, by announcements in black churches that Sunday morning, and by an article in the local newspaper about the pending boycott, which had been "leaked" to a reporter by E. D. Nixon.

On the morning of Mrs. Parks's trial, King, Nixon, and other leaders were pleasantly surprised to see that the boycott was almost 100 percent effective among blacks. And since African Americans made up 75% of Montgomery's bus riders, the impact was significant. In city court, Mrs. Parks was convicted and was fined $10. Her attorney, the 24-year-old Fred D. Gray, announced an appeal. That night, more than 5,000 blacks crowded into and around the Holt Street Baptist Church for a "mass meeting" to discuss the situation. For most in the church (and listening outside over loudspeakers), it was their first time to hear the oratory of Martin Luther King, Jr. He asked the crowd if they wanted to continue the boycott indefinitely, and the answer was a resounding yes. For the next 381 days, African Americans boycotted the buses, while the loss of their fares drove the Chicago-owned bus company into deeper and deeper losses. However, segregationist city officials prohibited the bus company from altering its seating policies, and negotiations between black leaders and city officials went nowhere.

With bikes, carpools, and hitchhiking, African Americans were able to minimize the impact of the boycott on their daily lives. Meanwhile, whites in Montgomery responded with continued intransigence and rising anger. Several black churches and the homes of local leaders and ministers, including those of Nixon and King, were bombed, and there were numerous assaults by white thugs on African Americans. Some 88 local black leaders were also arrested for violating an old anti-boycott law.

Faced with the lack of success of negotiations, attorney Gray soon filed a separate lawsuit in federal court challenging the constitutionality of the segregated seating laws. The case was assigned to and testimony was heard by a three-judge panel, and the young Frank M. Johnson, Jr., newly appointed to the federal bench by Republican President Dwight D. Eisenhower, was given the responsibility for writing the opinion in the case. Johnson essentially ruled that in light of the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision by the U.S. Supreme Court, there was no way to justify legally the segregation policies, and the district court ruling overturned the local segregation ordinance under which Mrs. Parks and others had been arrested. The city appealed, but the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed the lower court ruling, and in December 1956, city officials had no choice but to comply. The year-long boycott thus came to an end.

The Montgomery Bus Boycott made Mrs. Parks famous and it launched the civil rights careers of King and his friend and fellow local minister, Ralph Abernathy. The successful boycott is regarded by many historians as the effective beginning of the twentieth-century civil rights movement in the U.S.

Foreign Policy
In addition to his desire to halt the advance of “creeping socialism” in U.S. domestic policy, Eisenhower also wanted to “roll back” the advances of Communism abroad. After taking office in 1953, he devised a new foreign policy tactic to contain the Soviet Union and even win back territory that had already been lost. Devised primarily by Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, this so-called New Look at foreign policy proposed the use of nuclear weapons and new technology rather than ground troops and conventional bombs, all in an effort to threaten “massive retaliation” against the USSR for Communist advances abroad.

In addition to intimidating the Soviet Union, this emphasis on new and cheaper weapons would also drastically reduce military spending, which had escalated rapidly during the Truman years. As a result, Eisenhower managed to stabilize defense spending, keeping it at roughly half the congressional budget during most of his eight years in office.

The doctrine of massive retaliation proved to be dangerously flawed, however, because it effectively left Eisenhower without any options other than nuclear war to combat Soviet aggression. This dilemma surfaced in 1956, for instance, when the Soviet Union brutally crushed a popular democratic uprising in Hungary. Despite Hungary’s request for American recognition and military assistance, Eisenhower’s hands were tied because he knew that the USSR would stop at nothing to maintain control of Eastern Europe. He could not risk turning the Cold War into a nuclear war over the interests of a small nation such as Hungary.

The Warsaw Pact and NATO
1955 saw the division of Europe into two rival camps. The westernized countries of the free world had signed NATO 1949 and the eastern European countries signed the Warsaw pact.

NATO
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization was created as a response to the crisis in Berlin. The United States, Britain, Canada, France, Portugal, Italy, Belgium, Luxembourg, Norway, Denmark, Iceland, and the Netherlands founded NATO in April 1949, and Greece, Turkey and West Germany had joined by 1955. The countries agreed that "an armed attack against one or more of [the member states] in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all," and was created so that if the Soviet Union eventually did invade Europe, the invaded countries would have the most powerful army in the world (the United States' Army) come to their defense. When the Korean War broke out, NATO drastically raised its threat level because of the idea that all the communist countries were working together. As the number of communist countries grew and grew, so did the NATO forces. Greece and Turkey eventually joined NATO in 1952. The USSR eventually decided to join NATO so that there would be peace, but NATO declined them because they thought that the USSR would try to weaken them from the inside.

The Warsaw Pact
The Soviet Union responded in to the addition of West Germany to NATO 1955 with its own set of treaties, which were collectively known as the Warsaw Pact. Warsaw Pact was also known as “The Treaty of Friendship”. The Warsaw Pact allowed East Germany, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Albania, Romania, and Bulgaria to function in the same way as the NATO countries did. The Soviet Union used this Warsaw Pact to combine the military forces unified under it. The Pact was supposed to make all the countries in it, equal. However, the Soviet Union took a little advantage of this by using the allied countries military wherever they wanted. Unlike NATO, Warsaw forces were used occasionally.

CIA
As an alternative, Eisenhower employed the CIA to tackle the specter of Communism in developing countries outside the Soviet Union’s immediate sphere of influence. Newly appointed CIA director Allen Dulles (the secretary of state’s brother) took enormous liberties in conducting a variety of covert operations. Thousands of CIA operatives were assigned to Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East and attempted to launch coups, assassinate heads of state, arm anti-Communist revolutionaries, spread propaganda, and support despotic pro-American regimes. Eisenhower began to favor using the CIA instead of the military because covert operations didn’t attract as much attention and cost much less money.

A CIA-sponsored coup in Iran in 1953, however, did attract attention and heavy criticism from liberals both at home and in the international community. Eisenhower and the Dulles brothers authorized the coup in Iran when the Iranian government seized control of the British-owned Anglo-Iranian Oil Company. Afraid that the popular, nationalist, Soviet-friendly prime minister of Iran, Mohammed Mossadegh, would then cut off oil exports to the United States, CIA operatives convinced military leaders to overthrow Mossadegh and restore Mohammed Reza Shah Pahlavi as head of state in 1953. Pahlavi returned control of Anglo-Iranian Oil to the British and then signed agreements to supply the United States with almost half of all the oil drilled in Iran.

The following year, a similar coup in Guatemala over agricultural land rights also drew international criticism and severely damaged U.S.–Latin American relations.

Vietnam

"All men are created equal. They are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, among them are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness."

In 1945 many colonies, including French Indochina, hoped for independence following the War. When Japan surrendered to the allies a Vietnamese man, Ho Chi Minh, declared independence for Vietnam in Hanoi, quoting America's own Declaration of Independence in the very first lines of his speech in hopes of gaining American support for a Vietnam free from French rule. However, with containing communism in Europe being seen as a more important issue, America took a stance of neutrality from 1946 to 1950.

In the early 50's, Vietnam was rebelling against French rule. America saw Vietnam as a potential source of trouble, as rebels (known as the Việt Minh) led by Communist leader Ho Chi Minh were gaining strength. America loaned France billions of dollars to aid in the war against the Vietnamese rebels, but despite the aid, France found itself on the verge of defeat, and appealed to America for troops, but America refused, fearing entanglement in another costly Korean War, or even a war with all of communist Asia.

France surrendered, and the VietMinh and France met in Geneva, Switzerland to negotiate a treaty. Vietnam was divided into two countries: the Vietminh in control of the North and the French-friendly Vietnamese in control of the South. In 1956, the two countries would be reunited with free elections.

Eisenhower worried about South Vietnam. He believed that if it also fell to the Communists, many other Southeast Asian countries would follow, in what he called the domino theory. He aided the Southern government and set up the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) in 1954. The nations included in the alliance were America, Great Britain, France, Australia, Pakistan, the Philippines, New Zealand and Thailand, and they all pledged to fight against "Communist aggressors".

Cuban Revolution
In 1958 and 1959, anti-American feeling became a part of the growing Cuban revolution. In January 1959, the dictator of Cuba, Fulgenicio Batista, was overthrown by the rebel leader Fidel Castro, who promptly became the leader of Cuba.

At first, America supported Castro because of his promises of democratic and economic reforms. But relations between the two countries became strained when Cuba began seizing foreign-owned land (which was mostly U.S. owned) as a part of its reforms. Soon, Castro's government was a dictatorship, and was being backed by the Soviet Union. In 1961, Eisenhower cut diplomatic ties with Cuba, and relations with the island nation have been difficult ever since.

Suez Canal
Back in 1948, Israel was created as a sanctuary of sorts for the displaced Jews of the Holocaust. At the same time, many Arabs living in the area were displaced. Tensions had been high in the Middle East ever since Israel had been attacked just after its founding. The stage was set for superpower involvement in 1956; the United States backed Israel, the Soviet Union backed the Arabs, and the Egyptian president Gamal Abdel Nasser had nationalized, or brought under Egypt's control, the Suez Canal, which had previously belonged to Britain.

France and Britain worried that Egypt would decide cut off oil shipments between the oil-rich Middle East and western Europe, so that October they invaded Egypt, hoping to overthrow Nasser and seize the canal. Israel, upset by earlier attacks by Arab states, agreed to help in the invasion.

U.S. and Soviet reactions to the invasions were almost immediate. The Soviets threatened to launch rocket attacks on British and French cities, and the United States sponsored a United Nations resolution for British and French withdrawal. Facing pressures from the two powers, the three invaders pulled out of Egypt. To ensure stability in the area, United Nations troops were sent to patrol the Egypt-Israel border.

Space Race
The Space Race has its origins in an arms race between the United States and the Soviet Union. After the Soviet Union tested its first atomic bomb in September 1949, the fear of nuclear war began to spread. The ensuing arms race led to the creation of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), long-range rockets designed to deliver nuclear warheads from land- or submarine-based launch sites. The first successful ICBM test flight was on August 21, 1957, when the USSR launched an ICBM with a dummy payload over 4,000 miles to an isolated peninsula on Russia’s east coast that had been declared a military zone (Kamchatka Peninsula, which remained closed to civilians from 1945–1989).

On October 4, 1957, the Soviets successfully put the first man-made satellite, Sputnik, into orbit. Americans were horrified. They feared that the Soviets were using the satellite to spy on Americans, or even worse, that the Soviet Union might attack America with nuclear weapons from space. America responded with the launch of its own satellite, Vanguard. Hundreds of spectators gathered, only to watch the satellite rise only a few feet off the launch pad, and then explode.

The failure spurred the government to create a space agency, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). NASA succeeded in launching the Explorer in 1958, and thus, the Space Race was initiated. With the creation of Project Mercury, a program to put an astronaut in space, America was pulling ahead. Nonetheless, the USSR was the first to put a man in space, when Yuri Gagarin was launched into orbit in 1961. For the next 14 years, the U.S and the Soviet Union would continue to compete in space.

Many Americans were frightened during the start of the space race because this gave the Soviet Union a better ability to launch a surprise attack on the states. The United States of course immediately jumped on the bandwagon and did its best to become the first country to land on the moon.

Domestic Policies

Alaska and Hawaii were admitted as states during the Eisenhower administration.

Eisenhower established the Interstate Highway System in 1956 to bolster the economy, and to facilitate rapid mobilization of defense forces in the event of an emergency.

At the end of his administration, Eisenhower warned of the dangers of a Military Industrial Complex, fearing undemocratic influence from a rapidly growing defense sector.

Everyday life in the 1950's
With the rise of television ownership came the rise of television shows. Emerging genres like Sitcoms (Situational comodies), talk shows, and game shows enjoyed widespread popularity. Easy to cook, ready made meals called TV dinners were introduced during this time

The construction of the interstate system firmly established a car culture in America. Fast Food had existed prior to the 1950's, but the 1950's were when it really became a phenomenon, when franchising locations of popular restaurants became common, eventually leading to the formation of chains with uniform quality and items nationwide.

In the 1950's Pizza became an common staple outside of the Italian-American community, spurred by American troops returning from Italy, references to pizza in popular culture, and the establishment of chain pizza restaurants.

Rise of the Middle Class
In the late 1940s and 1950’s led to a rise of the middle class in the United States. With troops coming home from the war soldiers were quick to start families. The GI bill allowed for upward mobility for veterans. With free college and over four billion dollars given to trips the economy continued to succeed. With war savings and a host of new consumer goods on the market, America quickly turned into a consumer market. The best example of this would be automobiles and the television. In 1955, $65 billion was spent on automobiles. This represented 20% of the Gross National Product. In 1950 50% of American homes had a television. By 1960 this number was raised to 90%.

Rock and Roll
The term “rock and roll” was originally a nautical phrase referring to the motion of a ship at sea. In the early 20th century, it gained a religious connotation (referring to the sense of rapture felt by worshippers) and was used in spirituals. After this, “rocking and rolling” increasingly became used as a metaphor for sex in blues and jazz songs.

The origins of rock and roll lie primarily in electric blues from Chicago in the late 1940s, which was distinguished by amplification of the guitar, bass, and drums. Electric blues was played by artists like Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, and Buddy Guy, who were recorded by Leonard and Phil Chess at Chess Records in Chicago. They inspired electric blues artists in Memphis like Howlin’ Wolf and B.B. King, who were recorded by a Memphis-based record producer named Sam Phillips, also the owner of Sun Records. He later discovered Elvis Presley in 1954, and he also recorded early songs by Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, and Carl Perkins.

Rhythm and blues artists such as Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, and Ray Charles incorporated electric blues as well as gospel music. In the early 50s, R&B was more commonly known by the blanket term “race music”, which was also used to describe other African-American music of the era such as jazz and blues. Billboard didn’t replace the “race records” category with “rhythm and blues” until 1958. Doo-wop was a mainstream style of R&B, with arrangements favoring vocal harmonies. Other types of music that contributed to early rock and roll include African-American spirituals, also known as gospel music, and country/folk, which was primarily made by poor whites in the South.

Arguably, the first rock and roll song ever made is “Rocket 88”, recorded at Sam Phillip’s studio in Memphis in March 1951. It was credited to “Jackie Brenston and his Delta Cats,” a band that didn’t actually exist—the song was put together by Ike Turner and his band, the Kings of Rhythm. Jackie Brenston was the vocalist on the song, who also played saxophone in the band. What really sets “Rocket 88” apart is the distorted guitar sound: it was one of the first examples of fuzz guitar ever recorded. The amplifier they used to record the song was damaged on the way from Mississippi to Memphis. They tried to hold the cone in place by stuffing the amplifier with newspaper, which created the distortion. Sam Phillips liked the sound and decided to keep it in the song. Although “Rocket 88” was recorded by Sam Phillips, it wasn’t released by Sun Records, which didn’t exist until 1952. From 1950-1952, Phillips ran the Memphis Recording Service, where he would let amateurs perform and then sell the recordings to large record labels. He sold “Rocket 88” to Chess Records, which released predominately blues, gospel, and R&B. The Chess brothers started Checker Records in 1952, because radio stations would only play a certain number of tracks from each label.

Alan Freed (also known as “Moondog”) was a radio DJ who started playing R&B records on WJW in Cleveland in 1951. He is credited with introducing rock and roll to a wide audience for the first time, as well as being the first to use the phrase “rock and roll” as the name of the genre. He also promoted and helped organize the first major rock and roll concert, The Moondog Coronation Ball, which occurred on March 21, 1952. The concert was so successful that it became massively overcrowded – there was a near-riot and it had to be shut down early. Freed’s popularity soared, and he was immediately given more airtime by the radio station. His promotion of rock ‘n’ roll is one of the main reasons it became successful, and in recognition of his contributions to the genre, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was built in Cleveland.

“Payola” refers to the practice of record company promoters paying radio DJs to play their recordings in order to boost their sales. Payola had been commonplace since the Vaudeville era in the 1920s, but it became a scandal in the 1950s due to a conflict between the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers (ASCAP) and radio stations. Prior to 1940, ASCAP had made huge amounts of money from the sales of sheet music, but when radio started gaining popularity, recorded music became more profitable than sheet music. ASCAP demanded large royalty payments from radio stations that played their recordings. Instead, stations boycotted ASCAP recordings and created their own publishing company called Broadcast Music Incorporated (BMI). ASCAP tended to ignore music composed by black musicians or “hillbillies”, which gave BMI control of these areas. When rock ‘n’ roll became more and more popular, BMI became more and more successful. ASCAP (in addition to many others) believed that rock ‘n’ roll was the music of the devil, that it was brainwashing teenagers, and that it would never have been successful without payola. This was just after the quiz show scandal (when it was found that certain shows were rigged), and ASCAP urged the House Legislative Committee which had investigated that scandal to look into payola. The hearings that followed destroyed Alan Freed’s career, although it didn’t eliminate rock ‘n’ roll altogether as ASCAP had hoped.

Several factors contributed to the decline of early rock and roll. Chuck Berry and Jerry Lee Lewis were both prosecuted in scandals involving young women. Elvis Presley was inducted into the U.S. Army in 1958, and after training at Fort Hood, he joined the 3rd Armored Division in Germany, where he would remain until 1960. Three rock and roll musicians –- Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and “The Big Bopper” –- died in a plane crash on February 3, 1959 (“The Day the Music Died”). Little Richard retired from secular music after a religious experience. He ran a ministry in Los Angeles, preached across the country, and recorded gospel music exclusively until 1962.

Rock and roll music is associated with the emergence of a teen subculture among baby boomers. Teenagers bought records and were exposed to rock and roll via radio, jukeboxes, and television shows like American Bandstand, which featured teenagers dancing to popular music. It also affected movies, fashion trends, and language. The combination of white and black music in rock and roll –- at a time when racial tensions were high and the civil rights movement was in full-swing –- provoked strong reactions among the older generation, many of whom worried that rock and roll would contribute to social delinquency among teenagers. However, it actually encouraged racial cooperation and understanding to some extent—rock and roll was a combination of diverse styles of music made by different races, and it was enjoyed by both African-American and Caucasian teens.

PHP/Learning Guide

PHP is a significant language, with millions of practical applications used for a variety of commercial and non-commercial purposes. It is installed on thousands of web servers worldwide, and web hosts consider using PHP on their servers for other applications e.g. hosting control panels. Due to the greatly increased availability over other web languages (Perl for instance), PHP has grown rapidly and knowledge of it can even lead to a high paying job. However, today we're going to start out small and teach you the basics, step by step, of the Wikiversity Introduction to PHP.

Introduction
As the course reference begins, PHP is a server side scripting language. This means that the scripts you write are handled by the server (generally the web host) rather than the client (the end user's browser), unlike other scripting languages like JavaScript. Its use requires a certain software known as a web server (not the hardware - any PC will do, in theory) which handles incoming connections from other computers and sends back web pages as requested.

For PHP to run, this web server has to be configured so that when certain requests come - requests for pages with the .php extension, for example - PHP is called. The php.exe file then jumps in, looks at the code, interprets it and sends the output back to the web server within a fraction of a second for the web server to send back to the client. This means that if your PHP code was the following:  All that would be sent to the user's web browser is this: ABC This means that significant web applications can be developed by software firms without having to worry about competitors stealing their code - after all, you wouldn't want to spend millions only for your arch rivals to get it all for free by taking it from your servers.

Prerequisites
Just to clarify, some of the prerequisites listed at Introduction to PHP don't even exist yet (as of 6/10/06), so in lieu of them we suggest you run through the basics of w3schools.com's HTML tutorial and the first few lessons of its JavaScript tutorial.

Basic syntax
As this is your first PHP lesson, we'll cover this section in detail. How web servers handle programming languages is quite simple - they look for certain file extensions (the .whatever in the file name) and run specific commands depending on the file type. In this instance, web servers look for .php in the file name, and instead of simply sending the file across, they call a program called php.exe and pass the file to it. php.exe then parses (interprets) it before sending the output back to the web server.

However, there is a very useful feature of PHP that requires some further insight here. This feature is PHP's ability to effectively jump in and out of 'PHP mode', so that, at times, normal HTML can be used in scripts. This is a basic example:  Notice that normal html tags are wrapped around the php. If this were a .html file, what would be sent to your web browser is exactly the above.

Ia McIlwaine

Ia Cecilia McIlwaine (20 April 1935 – 24 August 2019) (née Thorold) was a British librarian and Emeritus Professor of Library and Information Studies at University College London.

Early life and education
McIlwaine was the only daughter and eldest of three children of Rev. Michael Herbert Thorold (1904–1956), MA, vicar of St John the Baptist, Bathwick, Somerset, and Dorothy, daughter of George Patrick Henfrey, of Chesham Place, Brighton, East Sussex. Her father descended from the book collector and politician Sir John Thorold, 9th Baronet through his second son, and was from a line of several generations of clergymen. Her name, "Ia", was of Cornish origin, deriving from Saint Ia of Cornwall, and etymologically linked to the place name St Ives, Cornwall.

McIlwaine was a pupil at Bath High School before reading Classics at Bedford College, London. In 1958 she gained a Graduate Diploma in Librarianship from University College London.

Career
McIlwaine subsequently worked as an Assistant Librarian with Westminster City Libraries before returning to UCL as a lecturer in the School of Library and Archive Studies. She was promoted to Senior Lecturer at UCL in 1985 and then to Reader in Classification and Indexing in 1995 before, in 1997, attaining a Chair of Library & Information Studies.

In 1988 McIlwaine published her PhD these as a two-volume book titled Herculaneum: A Guide to Printed Sources, which ran to over 1,000 pages of content.

In 1998 she was a recipient of the Library Association Centenary Medal.

She was Editor-in-Chief of the Universal Decimal Classification, on which she published four titles in 1998, and Chair of the IFLA Committee of Classification and Indexing and FID/Classification and Knowledge Organization and Research Committee. She was also a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals.

Personal life
In 1966, she married fellow UCL lecturer John Hamish St John McIlwaine, who survived her. Their daughter, (Katherine) Anne (b. 1969), also works in the library field.

I am CCNA certified (networking) and will hopefully be A+ certified before May of 2007. I am pursuing a Computer Science bachelors - any and all suggestions as to certifications or the like that would be helpful to a career in CS would be appreciated.

Puzzles/Arithmetical puzzles/Three Daughters

Puzzles | Arithmetical puzzles | Three Daughters

A salesman is at the door of a family house and tries to convince the mother to buy some of his products. She says: "Well, I don't really need the products, but if you can guess how old my three daughters are I will do you a favor and buy one of them." The salesman asks the woman for a little help and she tells him: "The product of their ages is 36." As the salesman is not able to figure out the ages, she gives him another clue: "The sum of their ages is same as the number of my house." The salesman calculates for a little while but then says: "I'm sorry, Miss, but I still can't figure out their ages." The mother agrees to give him a final hint: "My eldest daughter plays piano." After that hint the salesman was able to tell the mother her daughters ages and sell one of his items.

How did he figure that out?

CITY NAME
I just moved this page from LaSalle to La Salle because their official website and Google Maps  both use the two-word version of the name. Also, when there was a major fire there, all the news articles referred to the city as La Salle.

One thing to note is that the Census Bureau uses one word (LaSalle) as their name for it. BhamBoi (talk) 04:15, 15 January 2023 (UTC)

 * Although I did find at least a dozen more sources with La Salle, there are still a few using one word, like this. BhamBoi (talk) 04:23, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm inclined to move this article back to LaSalle. The Census Bureau using the name LaSalle is more relevant than news sources generally being mixed. While both are valid spellings, the Census Bureau is probably what we should stick with when there are inconsistencies. Elli (talk | contribs) 09:38, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Additionally, a page on the city's website about the city's history uses LaSalle repeatedly. Elli (talk | contribs) 09:40, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
 * It's very mixed. I think an RM may be in order, could you initiate it? Thanks BhamBoi (talk) 15:36, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
 * sure. Would you mind if I moved the page back first, though? Since that was the long-standing article title (since 2007) and there wasn't a discussion preceding your move. Elli (talk | contribs) 02:48, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Go ahead. BhamBoi (talk) 02:50, 2 April 2023 (UTC)

LaSalle, Illinois → La Salle, Illinois – The name of this town is either "LaSalle" or "La Salle", varying in both primary and secondary sources.

I will provide examples for both:

 * LaSalle (current title)
 * U.S. Census Bureau
 * Official Facebook
 * LaSalle Public Library
 * TripAdvisor

 * La Salle (proposed name)
 * USPS
 * Google Maps
 * MapQuest
 * GeoNames
 * Britannica
 * Mixed
 * Their official website is titled as "La Salle" but their info varies, even within the same page.
 * GNIS: (La Salle; Populated Place) and  (City of LaSalle; Civil (Though I think this one is generated from census data and would then, of course, inherit the name used by the Census Bureau))
 * The signs on I-80 E vary, with even adjacent signs using different spellings: "LaSalle" or "La Salle"
 * OpenStreetMap varies; it’s listed as both, but displays as "La Salle".
 * The Wikipedia draft for the Carus Chemical plant fire uses mostly "La Salle" with only one major news outlet using "LaSalle" §References.
 * Their tourism website varies between titles and body text.

Also note: the county and township are both undeniably "LaSalle". BhamBoi (talk) 05:05, 2 April 2023 (UTC) — Relisting.  ❯❯❯  Raydann  (Talk)   09:26, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Support using LaSalle (so oppose a move) as the U.S. census carries more weight, compared to varying usage elsewehere. Elli (talk | contribs) 05:59, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I think the Census made a decision, not a mistake to put it at the name it's on with the census bureau, but they do make mistakes that get published, so their accuracy is not to be blindly trusted:

 * 1. Neither Britannica nor Google Maps are listed as unreliable on RSP. Both are no-consensus, which is means they are not considered to be generally unreliable.
 * 2. I was referring to the sources cited by that draft, not the article itself. They show the usage in the news. I could add all of the sources here to show a majority using one name, but it figured it would just be easier to refer to the references section which cites reliable sources than to add them all here.

 * More sources for both sides:
 * The local newspaper of record, La Salle News Tribune from Shaw Media is titled with two words.
 * The local chamber of commerce uses two words.
 * Niche uses one word.
 * Expedia uses two.
 * The Illinois Secretary of State uses two words.
 * Including sources for both sides. BhamBoi (talk) 05:18, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
 * This link for the Secretary of State is one word, and here's another from them. The News Tribune's website also says "More La Salle County Headlines" on its site, but this is again inconsistent with both official and otherwise common usage for the county (LaSalle County Complex) so why trust them? Sure would be nice to have some sort of explanation from someone or coverage like for the Colorado place I found. A few spots on Google Streetview with one word include City Hall and others, so even with examples the other way (possibly from an aversion to camel case), a move is not compelling. Reywas92Talk 13:23, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I definitely meant to type one for the IL Sec. of State above, fwiw BhamBoi (talk) 14:48, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

Holy crap, this is honestly a bit embarassing. I'll oppose because the seal (as on the facebook page) and the city code both use LaSalle as the official name, and use of two words is not overwhelming enough to call that the common name. The Chicago Tribune uses one word, and it seems it should be consistent with the county and township. Reywas92Talk 04:16, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

 * What's embarrassing? BhamBoi (talk) 04:29, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
 * That they can't figure out how to spell their own name! Their own websites that have multiple spellings on the same page! LaSalle, Colorado is similarly confused, apparently. Add the Illinois Secretary of State to the one-word list, as well as the high school and local businesses and organizations like . Something that's wild is that their archived website uses a different logo that looks more like one word and has one word in the text and address. To what extent either an individual or the city government made a conscious decision to change these is unclear, but I still don't think two words is widespread enough to override the legal name. Reywas92Talk 05:27, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I found the secretary of state source, and added it with a few others in a new comment above. BhamBoi (talk) 05:54, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Well, usage among city sources is not completely in favor of the one-word variation. For example, their official logo looks to me like two words, and their information page is titled "About La Salle | City of La Salle", using two words twice, in the title alone. (The body text alternates between the two spellings.) The mailing address listed on the city website uses two words, which makes sense because the post office in La Salle is listed online as two words. (It is interesting, though, that the building itself is labelled with one word. One of the other post offices in La Salle is listed online with two words and labelled in person with one.)
 * Also, the official names database for the U.S. uses two words.
 * You pointed out the Chicago Tribune using one word, and national news sources including CBS, Reuters and Fox agree. But I raise to you the local news sources, which are more likely to mirror local usage. WQAD from Moline, WIFR from Rockford, WMBD from Peoria all use "La Salle" in their coverage.
 * As for COMMONNAME, it states that other encyclopedias can help determine the common name, and Britannica uses "La Salle". In fact, it even calls the county two words.
 * The title of their tourism website is "Downtown La Salle", which is the two-word variant, though the pages on the website do use both. BhamBoi (talk) 05:08, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
 * To add to my comment above noting that the website has changed its spelling, the archived version of the homepage says "The city of LaSalle is located in LaSalle County, Illinois" while the current version says "The city of La Salle is located in La Salle County, Illinois". Whoever changed the spelling on the website, they have no right to change the county's name, which makes me question even their reliability! Perhaps Britannica didn't want to spell the city and county differently, but I question their factcheckers as well when the county more consistently uses one word. Reywas92Talk 05:43, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

 * Oppose. The sources presented in the discussion make it clear that both spellings of the city name are in common use. In the absence of a compelling reason to favor either spelling, I think it's best to leave the article at its stable title. ModernDayTrilobite (talk • contribs) 14:53, 17 April 2023 (UTC)

Mount Vernon High School (Virginia)

Mount Vernon High School is a public high school in the Fairfax County Public Schools system located in Mount Vernon, Virginia.

History
Originally constructed to take the place of the Lee-Jackson High School, Mount Vernon High school first opened in November 1939. With the opening of the school, Lee-Jackson principal G. Claude Cox moved to Mount Vernon, becoming the school's first principal, and Lee-Jackson became an elementary school.

In 1945, Principal Cox resigned to become principal of Wythe High School in Wytheville, Virginia, and Lee-Jackson principal Melvin B. Landes moved to Mount Vernon to begin a nearly thirty-year tenure there.

The school's current location was built in 1961 as Walt Whitman Intermediate School. In 1973, Mount Vernon and Whitman swapped facilities, and the former intermediate school was enlarged to serve its new role as a high school. The original Mount Vernon High School continued to operate as the Walt Whitman Intermediate School until 1985, when Whitman was moved to the former Stephen Foster Intermediate School.

Also in 1973, Principal Melvin Landes retired, and Thomas G. Hyer took over as Principal.

Following the departure of Eric Brent to become principal at Forest Park High School in Woodbridge, Nardos King became the principal of MVHS in 2006.

After nine years as principal, Nardos King resigned in 2015 to take a position as Assistant Superintendent of High Schools with the Baltimore County Public Schools system. Assistant Principal Esther Manns became the interim principal of MVHS in September 2015. In February 2016, Rocky Run Middle School Principal Dr. Anthony S. Terrell was announced as the principal of Mount Vernon High School, beginning in March.

The original Mount Vernon High School is still standing on Richmond Highway; it became the Islamic Saudi Academy, which moved to the facility in 1989. This school closed in 2016.

Academic achievement
Students with individual needs are accommodated through special education programs, including English for speakers of other languages (ESOL) program, and advanced placement and International Baccalaureate programs. Mount Vernon is an accredited high school. The average SAT score in 2013 for Mount Vernon was a 1417 (479 in Critical Reading, 474 in Math, and 464 in Writing).

Demographics
For the 2014-15 school year, Mount Vernon High School's student body was 37.80% Hispanic, 29.56% Black, 20.91% White, 6.36% Asian and 5.37% Other.

Athletics
School athletic programs feature fall, winter and spring sports, including cheerleading, cross country, field hockey, football, golf, volleyball, basketball, gymnastics, swimming, wrestling, baseball, crew, lacrosse, softball, soccer, tennis, track and intramural sports.

In Mount Vernon's history, it has garnered five AAA State Championship titles. They won their first title in 1979, in basketball, their second in 1983, for football, their third in 2008 for the swim & dive team, and a fourth in 2013, for soccer, as well as one for wrestling.

Theater
Mount Vernon's "Little Theater," officially named "The Andrew Lee Pauley Theater," was dedicated to an English and Drama teacher who retired from the school in 1986. The Little Theater can hold a capacity of more than 400 students.

It is home to MVHS Theatre Arts program. Other notable events include "Mr. Mount Vernon" and "Miss Personality," that are held annually.

Hettie Belle Ege

Hettie Belle Ege (March 31, 1861 – November 19, 1942) was an American professor of mathematics. From 1914 to 1916, she was the acting president of Mills College.

Early life
Ege was born in Erie, Illinois on March 31, 1861, the daughter of Joseph Arthur Ege and his second wife, Catherine Rebecca Reisch Ege. Her parents were both from Pennsylvania; her father died the year she was born, and her mother remarried in 1869. She attended Western College in Oxford, Ohio, graduating in 1886; she later graduated from Mills College in 1903, with further studies at the University of Chicago, the University of Munich, and the University of California.

Career
Ege taught school in Ohio and Colorado as a young woman. From 1895 to 1930, she was a professor of mathematics and Dean of Women at Mills College. She also coached the Mills College basketball team. From 1914 to 1916, she was the college's acting president. "Since Mills is to California what Wellesley is to the East," explained a California magazine in 1915, "it is most apparent that the leading spirit of the institution is a dominant figure in the educational activities of the state."

In 1918, she chaperoned a unit of 28 Mills students in the Woman's Land Army, providing ranch labor during wartime shortages. In 1920, the college marked her twenty-five years at Mills with a presentation and convocation. At the festivities marking the school's founder's centennial in 1925, Ege received an honorary doctorate.

After her retirement in 1930, she spent some time in Cambridge, in England. She was a regular guest at Mills College events and alumnae gatherings: in 1933 she was honored as the college's dean emerita, alongside president Aurelia Henry Reinhardt and physician Mariana Bertola, at an annual breakfast of the Mills Club of San Francisco.

Death
Ege died November 19, 1942, aged 81 years, in Oakland, California. Her grave is on the campus of Mills College, and there is a dormitory named for Ege at Mills.

Talk:Iowa–Penn State wrestling rivalry

Scope / focus of article
May as well kick this off, eh?

There appears to be a bona fide, well-sourced wrestling rivalry between the two schools. (Here's an NCAA link that hasn't made it into the article: http://www.ncaa.com/video/wrestling/2017-01-31/high-five-wrestling-rivalries-augsburg-wartburg-oklahoma-state-oklahoma .)  However, there is little to nothing in third party sources about any corresponding football "rivalry"; and IMHO football facts about a non-notable series (just like swimming, or tennis, or lacrosse facts) involving two schools that happen to share an athletic conference have no place in an article about a notable rivalry between the two in a different sport. I think the article should be renamed "Iowa-Penn State wrestling rivalry", and information about contests in non-"rivalry" sports (football or any other) removed. JohnInDC (talk) 20:44, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I think it is silly to throw out useful content. Either keep it the way it is (with trimming of excessive football trivia), with this article covering the overall rivalry between the two teams in multiple sports, or else split into separate articles if both are notable. However, the football part probably doesn't meet GNG at the moment, so splitting is tantamount to deletion of this content. Note that article content is not required to meet GNG, just be supported by refs. The football rivalry is supported by refs, even ones that call it a 'rivalry', so it can remain. Maintain the article as it is for now. The football section can be trimmed significantly to just the list of games and a bit of a blurb of whatever is supported by the refs. —  Insertcleverphrasehere (or here)  20:58, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Just because content has sources doesn't mean it's "good content" and just because it's not required to meet GNG isn't an excuse to include non-notable information that isn't directly relevant to the topic. Iowa vs. Penn State is not a football rivalry in any measure of the term and outside of wrestling, the two schools do not have anything resembling a rivalry. Their rivalry in wrestling is explained in the source and has to do with their respective national prominence and regular meetings the last several years where both are ranked in the top five. Football? No major games and no indication in sources that either fanbase treats the football game any differently than other conference game. It's similar to the Notre Dame–USC football rivalry, which is only for football. There isn't a basketball rivalry, so basketball isn't mentioned even though the two have played in that sport. As others have said, a rivalry in one sport doesn't necessarily translate to an overall rivalry between schools. I support renaming the article to include wrestling and removing the football content. --JonRidinger (talk) 21:23, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
 * The standard for inclusion in an article is not simply "verifiability"; the material has to be at least relevant to the article subject too. The article describes a (for now) unspecified "rivalry" between Iowa and Penn State.  Iowa & Penn State do have a wrestling rivalry.  They haven't got any other.  Discussion of non-rivalry sports in an article that by its own terms is about their "rivalry" is irrelevant, beside the point.  Indeed as I've noted elsewhere, the schools' tennis matches, swim meets and golf matches are all verifiable, but are not "rivalries", and are manifestly irrelevant to the article.  Football stands in exactly the same place.  JohnInDC (talk) 01:21, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Based on this discussion I'm inclined to remove the football material, and then proposed a Move. JohnInDC (talk) 00:00, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Based on this search It seems that WP:CONSISTENCY is on your side, so I moved it and deleted the content without a WP:RM move proposal (I was the only one opposed anyway, so uncontrovertial). I deleted the football content and moved it to Iowa–Penn State football rivalry, which I then converted into a redirect to List of Big Ten Conference football rivalry games (if someone ever wants to turn the redirect into an article in the future when we have better sourcing, some of the work will already be done for them). —  Insertcleverphrasehere (or here)  00:19, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for doing that, particularly since you were not inclined toward it in the first place. That was very gracious.  JohnInDC (talk) 01:57, 6 October 2017 (UTC)

I believe Belle Harbor actually only refers to the area between Beach 125th and Beach 142nd streets. Dlgoldstein 04:33, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

A New Superstorm is Unlikely?
The introductory section describes the new shore defenses, but uses the adjective "Unlikely" to refer to another storm like Super Storm Sandy. In light of our understanding of Global Climate Change, I believe the adjective "unlikely" is unwarranted. If we wish to remain conservative, we need not change it to "likely", but we should at least omit it. Comments? Cladist (talk) 19:11, 23 March 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Maria Komnene, Queen of Jerusalem

Untitled
I've removed the description, about her "being no beauty": the sentence was directly lifted from Payne's popular work The Dream and the Tomb, and I've seen no primary source for it - in fact, I've never seen a contemporary or near-contemporary physical description of her. (I do wonder if Payne had confused her with the other Maria Comnena?) Must admit I'm somewhat concerned about the use of Payne (and, even worse, Reston!) by some contributors. Silverwhistle 09:51, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

I revised the statement that her brother Alexios (this is Alexios pinkernes, I take it) was briefly Emperor of Thessalonica. He claimed to be Byzantine emperor, according to Nicetas (p. 319 van Dieten), but that's not the same as setting up a separate state of Thessalonica and being recognised as emperor of it. However, if some other source says he did that, please remove my alteration! User:Andrew Dalby 19:29, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Cyfronydd Hall

Cyfronydd Hall is a Welsh country house located on the A458 road between Welshpool and the hamlet of Cyfronydd, Llanfair Caereinion. It was built in about 1865 for the Pryce Jones family after an earlier hall on the site burned down. It once formed part of the 1922 acres Cyfronydd Estate.

History
Cyfronydd Hall was sold by Major Hamilton Pryce in 1927 and at that time it had 19 bedrooms and one bathroom. In 1938 it was purchased for £7,250 by Montgomeryshire County Council for use as a girls' school and remodelled, with the number of bedrooms being reduced to 14 and the number of bathrooms increased to four. The property at that time had 44 acres of land.

In the 1990s the property was bought by an English couple who gradually repaired and improved the property over a ten-year period. They added a swimming pool and a spa and sold the property in 2015 to William Hague and Ffion Hague. The estate now has 12.7 acres.

Architecture
Pevsner Architectural Guides describe the present building briefly as follows: "Large square brick house of c. 1865 with vaguely French detail, particularly on the three-storey entrance tower with its chateau roof." Country Life has described the building more enthusiastically as follows:

"an elegantly symmetrical country house built around an impressive central atrium flooded with light from the glass ceiling overhead. Radiating out from the hall are the main reception rooms-drawing room, dining room, sitting room and library-all of which have large sash windows with spectacular panoramic views over the rolling countryside of the majestic Banwy valley. An intimate study overlooks the rear garden, with its towering beeches, oaks and cedars. The first floor houses the splendid master suite and five further bedrooms, which all have luxurious bathrooms. Four more bedrooms and bathrooms, each with its own quirky, individual character, are located on the floor above."

The building does not appear to be registered by Cadw as a listed building.

Railway
Cyfronydd Hall is served by the nearby Cyfronydd railway station on the Welshpool and Llanfair Light Railway.

Chemmanam Chacko

Chemmanam Chacko (Malayalam:ചെമ്മനം ചാക്കോ) (March 7, 1926 – August 14, 2018) was an Indian satirical poet from Kerala, India. He died on 15 August 2018 at the age of 92 at his residence in Padamugal.

Early life
Chacko was born on 7 March 1926, in the village of Mulakulam in erstwhile Travancore. Chemmanam is his family name. His father was an Orthodox Christian priest. He did his early schooling in Saint Joseph's school, Piravom, and went on to receive his BA honours in Malayalam literature with first rank from University College, Trivandrum. He worked as a professor at Mar Ivanios College and the Department of Malayalam, University of Kerala.

Poetry
Chacko's first published poem was 'Munnottu' (Forward) which appeared in a local weekly in 1946. The poem 'Kanakaaksharangal' published in 1967 brought him popularity. Chemmanam is famed for efficiently utilising satire in his poems as a means of social and political critique. His poetic style has often drawn comparison to the early Malayalam language poet Kunjan Nambiar. His 1977 poetry collection Rajapatha won the Kerala Sahitya Akademi Award. He was conferred with the lifetime achievement award for literature by the Kerala Sahitya Akademi in 2006. He received the Mahakavi Pandalam Keralavarma Award for Poetry in 2014 and Asan Prize in 2015.
