Not quite sure I have the hang of it for schools; but — not notable, right? — Bill 23:00, 9 Oct 2004 (UTC) (DACOS SCPI) Allied Command Transformation there you go Dunc_Harris|☺ 19:25, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete: The article doesn't establish notability. It's not a terrible entry, but it doesn't give what an encyclopedia needs.  Also, since it was founded in 1913, one wonders if it has a rich history to distinguish it or not. Geogre 03:52, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * A small school, no mention of famous alumni, influence, etc. Delete unless notability established. Average Earthman 10:54, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete: If this article is deleted then Bruce K Thompson should be deleted as well. Edward 12:59, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * OK, I completely agree with all of you. I am pretty sure that the articles I have previously created/edited are relevant. It was only after coming across quite a few, in my opinion, short and irrelvant articles about villages and so on, that I wrote Strathallan School, Harry Riley and Bruce K Thompson. Most likely the school article, and almost certainly the other two, should be deleted. Mat334 17:19, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * hang on a minute. Don't give up quite yet Mat.  I'll vote to keep if you can provide atleast two notable alumni, which given that it's an independent school should be easy to do.  I''ll try and find some myself. Graeme C. Warner (a former Sherriff of Aberdeen), MEP Struan Stevenson, Brigadier R. L. Kirkland OBE MA, United Kingdom Army Deputy Assistant Chief of Staff Strategic Concepts, Policy & Interoperability
 * That's one, Dunc, not two. I'm not a big fan of alumni measurements, myself, but you had to reach pretty far to get an MEP.  The sherriff doesn't really do it. Geogre 01:11, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * Delete. Schools need to meet a high bar to be notable. --Improv 01:12, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. Looks reasonable to me. -- Necrothesp 09:28, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * Keep. Mark Richards 17:28, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * D Replace the names and dates and it's a suitable article for any school => not notable. As for famous alumni, the two secondary schools I attended between them feature John Hartson and Jessica Garlick amongst theirs, and neither of them has an article.  Perhaps one of them should.

User talk:Benschop

Hoi Nico, welkom bij wikipedia. Zelf werk ik meestal op de Nederlandstalige versie. Sorry dus voor het nederlands hier ;-), in elk geval wens ik je veel plezier hier. Ellywa 23:01, 9 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Hallo Nico, ik heb je bericht gezien op meta, maar als je me met "spoed" nodig hebt, dan is het snelste via deze overlegpagina. Chatten doe ik bijna nooit. Heel mooi inderdaad die chinese schildering, er staat volgens mij nog niets over op de Nederlandse wikipedia. Hier misschien wel meer, de Engelse is veel groter natuurlijk. Groeten, Ellywa 08:47, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Hoi Nico, een antwoord op je vraag staat voor de overzichtelijkheid hier. Groeten, Ellywa 22:44, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Hello, welcome to Wikipedia. Here are some useful links in case you haven't already found them:

 * Contributing tutorial
 * Manual of Style
 * How to edit a page
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Keep a balanced perspective in the article

If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump, or ask me on my talk page. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

Tip: you can sign your name (with timestamp) on Talk pages by using ~ . Niteowlneils 04:41, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)

PS In your particular case, you might also want to read Auto-biography (the same principle applies to one's own works, {which seems to be the case with Digital Network Theory--also books offerred free over the Internet are not generally considered encyclopedic} as well as one's self--anything that appears to be self-promotion is very frowned upon here), and What is an article. To be specific, Benschop has several problems: It is not in English, so it is not an appropriate article on the English Wikipedia; it appears to be a resume/c.v., which is also not considered encyclopedic; it appears to be your resume, which is not an appopriate contribution as an article--it's fine to have the info on User:Benschop. Also, Naming conventions might help you avoid making contributions to subjects that actually already are covered. You seem to have a lot of knowledge, and I hope the pages above can help you find ways to contribute in more conventional ways, that don't end up on VfD. Niteowlneils 04:41, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Thanks Neil, I moved my biography to User:Benschop - but I haven't found out how to delete the Benschop file, or does this happen automatically after 5 days? I got some msg from Charles Matthews, who set up a directory of math-subjects in which I can find a place under semigroup with an extra subclass transformation_semigroup : have to find out if he agrees (I guess he's the boss;-) Nico B. 14:54, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)

As you've probably noticed, since you acknowledged moving the article content to your user page, it has been deleted without waiting the five days. As you seem to be aware, Charles probably doesn't consider himself the "boss" of anyone or anything on Wikipedia, but it is not uncommon for more experienced Wikipedians to try to mentor relative newcomers, especially if they have shared subject interest/knowledge. Since I didn't make it past high school geometry, that obviously isn't me ;). Anyway, good luck and have fun--we were all new here at one time. Niteowlneils 19:36, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Indeed, I noticed the disappearance of 'Benschop'. That being cleared, on second thought (re your remark on frowns regarding promoting own work: an ecyclopedia should cover existing knowledge - not new work;-) it may be better to just remove all my entries ('digital_network_theory' and 'semigroups') and submit them to Wikibooks, or something similar. Wouldn't that be best? BTW : How to remove one's own entries? I could not discover a delete button. Nico B. 20:23, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Transformation semigroup
The reason I moved this one from the "associative algebra" category was that the category was listed at Category:Orphaned categories. There was only the one article in it, and it seemed to be redundant with Category:Algebra, so I just removed it. In general, if a category contains only one article and is not part of some larger categorization scheme, it is just as effective to simply put it in the parent category (and, in this case, it was already in the most logical parent category, Category:Algebra). If you think that the category was in fact needed, the thing to do is to put it inside an existing category so it isn't orphaned (and also to fill it with some more articles—note that articles in a sub-category do not need to go in the parent). [[User:Aranel|Aranel ("Sarah")]] 15:01, 1 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Search
I don't know much about how the search works here, so I don't have a good answer for your question. It also seems to be disabled right now, so I'm unable to test it for myself. However, I think that most Wikipedia users discover pages not through the search, but by following links in other articles. Having your article connected to the network and network theory pages would probably help people find it, since those are the pages that will be displayed if "network" or "network theory" are searched for by pressing "Go" instead of "Search." I apologize for not having better advice. Good luck. - MattTM | talk 19:30, Nov 14, 2004 (UTC)

 * OK, thanks Matt. Nico B. 09:19, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)

It's generally not considered appropriate to put links to your user page in articles. -- Infrogmation 21:39, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Deletion in Fermat's Last Theorem
The reason for removing it is simple: you are trying to promote your own original research by claiming a proof that is by no means accepted. The parenthetical comment alone is questionable as part of Wikipedia content. Wikipedia is not a place for you to promote your work, which seems to be the only point to that link; see Wikipedia Policy on conflict of interest. The same reason that Escultura's comments and publications are removed from the body of the page. Magidin 15:31, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

 * This conflict-of-interest thing is rediculous: Andrew Wiles' contribution/proof would then be similarly blocked! My paper is accepted and published by the Math dept. of Univ. Bratislava, which by the way has a long tradition of applying semigroups to number theory (re: prof Stefan Schwarz). If that is not acceptable then you insult that department. This residue-and-carry approach does deserve attention by interested readers, and I demand that this link be restored, or I will bring it before a higher authority, inside or - if necessary - outside Wikipedia. Your 'holier than thou' attitude is despicable, as that of a 'self-appointed protector of the faith' (being: there is no better/ shorter/ more-direct FLT proof than Wiles'). It is none of your business to block new insight, certainly not if you want to call yourself a scientist. Frankly, I bet you have not even read the paper... Nico B. 21:19, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

 * This "conflict-of-interest thing" is the policy of Wikipedia. You are posting a link to your article with the purpose of self-promotion, very similar to your original posting of your resume as a wikipedia page. If you want to discuss the appropriateness of adding a link to the paper (quite possibly without the parenthetical claims), I suggest you should do so in the Talk page of the article in question. And I also direct you to No personal attacks. Magidin 22:48, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Haverhill, Suffolk

Haverhill is a market town and civil parish in the county of Suffolk, England, next to the borders of Essex and Cambridgeshire. It lies about 14 mi southeast of Cambridge and 47 mi northeast of central London.

Geography
The town centre lies at the base of a gentle dip in the chalk hills of the Newmarket Ridge; running through the town is Stour Brook, which goes on to join the River Stour just outside the town. Rapid expansion of the town over the last two decades means that the western edge of Haverhill now includes the hamlet of Hanchet End. The surrounding countryside largely consists of arable land.

History
Haverhill dates back to at least Anglo-Saxon times, and the town's market is recorded in the Domesday Book (1086). Whilst most of its historical buildings were lost to the great fire on 14 June 1667, one notable Tudor-era house remains (reportedly given to Anne of Cleves as part of her divorce from Henry VIII and thus titled Anne of Cleves House although it was another vicarage not this one) as well as many interesting Victorian buildings. The Corn Exchange was designed by Frank Whitmore and completed in 1889.

Following a planning review in 1956, Haverhill was targeted for expansion. This was primarily to resettle communities from London which had been devastated during the Second World War. As part of this plan, new housing settlements and new factories were built. A later review in 1962 planned for a threefold increase in population from the then population of 5,446.

This influx of people changed many aspects of life in Haverhill. The expansion was not without friction. Residents who moved to the newly developed areas complained about the housing density and lack of amenities in a 1968 Man Alive documentary.

Nowadays, Haverhill is predominantly a modern and young town. The relatively small town centre is surrounded by many large housing developments, completed at various periods between the 1950s and the present.

Haverhill Police Station was built in 1976 and the town also formerly had a Magistrates Court. Haverhill Police is part of the Western Area command unit of Suffolk Constabulary.

Economy
Haverhill's economy is dominated by industry, and a large industrial area on the southern side of the town is home to a large number of manufacturing companies. Scientific firms including Sanofi and Sigma-Aldrich have plants in the town, as do International Flavors & Fragrances, and some waste processing, transport and construction firms. A Research Park has also been built, which includes The EpiCentre innovation and conference centre alongside the bypass.

A weekly market is held on Fridays on the Market Square and on Saturday the market is on the High Street.

Sport and leisure
Haverhill has two Non-League football clubs, Haverhill Rovers F.C. and Haverhill Borough F.C., who both play in the Eastern Counties Football League. The two clubs share the New Croft ground. The town also has a tennis club which is affiliated with the Lawn Tennis Association. Other sporting clubs in the town include a cricket club, a rugby club, and an angling club. Since 2013 Haverhill has also been home to Suffolk's only baseball team, Haverhill Blackjacks, who play in the British Baseball Federation Single-A South league, and who also play their home games at the New Croft.

There are various sporting activities available in Haverhill, including a leisure centre (with swimming pool, gym and a children's soft play area, Kid City), an 18-hole golf course, a dance school, and a skate park.

Haverhill Arts Centre is housed within the grade II listed town hall, and features a cinema as well as hosting live music, drama, dance and comedy. A 5-screen multiplex cinema complex was opened in October 2008. From 2007 to 2013 the town was home to The Centre for Computing History, a computer museum established to tell the story of the Information Age.

Buses

Local bus services are provided by Stagecoach East: route 13 from Cambridge runs approximately every 30 minutes during the day, every 60 minutes evenings and Sundays, along with a supplementary peak-hour express route X13. The bus station in Haverhill also provides local services to some of the surrounding towns and villages.

Road
The A1307 road is the only major road that connects Haverhill to Cambridge; it also connects the town with the A11, A14 and the M11 motorway. This route experiences congestion with commuter traffic most mornings and evenings. The A1307 is classified as a very high risk of casualty route. A proposal exists to develop the route whereby a new dual carriageway would be built from Haverhill to Cambridge, keeping the original road open as a feeder road and local bus stop route.

Railway
The town no longer has a railway station; it is one of the largest towns in England, and the largest town in Suffolk, without one. It once had two railway stations and two interconnected railways. The Stour Valley Railway ran from Cambridge to Sudbury and beyond, via Haverhill North; the Colne Valley and Halstead Railway ran from Haverhill South to Marks Tey, via Castle Hedingham and Halstead. Both stations have since been demolished, but many bridges, cuttings and embankments are still visible in the Haverhill area.

Rail Haverhill, formerly Cambridge to Sudbury Rail Renewal Association, is leading a campaign to re-open the railway between Haverhill and Cambridge; as of 2022, a feasibility study is underway.

Air
For national and international flights, Haverhill is close to London Stansted Airport, which lies approximately 21 mi to the south. The much smaller Cambridge City Airport also provides some domestic flights.

Culture
In 2000–01 two thousand inhabitants of Haverhill were photographed and morphed into a single image by the artist Chris Dorley-Brown. The resulting image was displayed in the National Portrait Gallery. This was the biggest photographic morphing project of its kind.

In November 2004, Haverhill made a claim for a world first, becoming the only known town to feature a laser-lit sculpture on a roundabout. The 11 m high steel sculpture, called the Spirit of Enterprise (or by locals as "the bog roll"), is situated on the main gateway roundabout on the west side of town, and was mostly funded by local businesses.

Media
Local TV coverage is provided by BBC East and ITV Anglia. Television signals are received from the Sudbury TV transmitter.

Local radio stations are BBC Radio Suffolk, Heart East, Nation Radio Suffolk, and Star Radio which broadcast from its studio in Cambridge.

The town is served by the local newspapers, Haverhill Echo and East Anglian Daily Times.

Schools
In Haverhill, there were two academies, Samuel Ward Trust (Samuel Ward, Clements, Coupals, Westfield And Churchill Special Free School) and Castle Partnership (Burton End Primary Academy, Place Farm Primary Academy and Castle Manor Academy). There is also an independent school known as Broadlands Hall School. These have now merged into the Samuel Ward Academy Trust, and subsequently into the Unity Schools Partnership with 14 other schools. St Felix Roman Catholic Primary School is part of the Our Lady of Walsingham Multi Academy Trust.

Notable residents
Nathaniel Ward, the author of the first constitution in North America, was born in Haverhill in 1578. A local school is named after Nathaniel's brother Samuel. Cambridge United footballer Michael Morrison attended Castle Manor Academy.

Twin towns – sister cities
Haverhill is twinned with:
 * 🇩🇪 Ehringshausen, Germany
 * 🇫🇷 Pont-Saint-Esprit, France

Krishna Raja Sagara

Krishna Raja Sagara, also popularly known as KRS, is a lake and the dam that creates it. They are close to the settlement of Krishna Raja Sagara in the Indian State of Karnataka. The gravity dam made of surki mortar is below the confluence of river Kaveri with its tributaries Hemavati and Lakshmana Tirtha, in the district of Mandya.

Krishna Raja Wadiyar IV Maharaj of Mysore constructed the dam during the famine despite the critical financial condition of State. It was after him that the dam was named. There is an ornamental garden, Brindavan Gardens, attached to the dam.

Background
The region of Mysore and especially Mandya had historically been dry and had witnessed mass migration to adjoining areas in the hot summers. A severe drought in 1875–76 partly due to the British Government in India had wiped out one-fifth of the population of the Kingdom of Mysore. Crop failures were common due to a lack of water for irrigation. The Kaveri river was seen as a potential source of irrigation water for the farmers in and around Mysore in the erstwhile Kingdom of Mysore.

Survey and plan
The Chief Engineer of Mysore, faced opposition from the finance ministry of the government of Mysore, who said the project would "serve no purpose" and that the electricity produced from it would not be of complete use due to lack of demand. He then approached T. Ananda Rao, the Diwan of Mysore and the Maharaja Krishna Raja Wadiyar IV for a reconsideration. Upon examining, the latter gave his consent issuing an order on 11 October 1911 to begin the project and a sum of ₹81 lakh was set aside for it. Madras Presidency then opposed the project and urged the imperial government not to approve it. Upon Visvesvaraya's persuasion, the government consented. However, the initial plan to build a dam 194-feet high to hold an estimated 41500000000 cuft of water had to be dropped.

Construction
Construction began in November 1911, and 10,000 workers were employed. A mortar known as surki was used in place of cement, as the latter was not manufactured in India at the time and importing would prove costly for the state. By the time construction was completed in 1931, around 5,000 to 10,000 persons had lost their homes to the project. However, they were rehabilitated and provided with agricultural land in the adjacent areas by the government. The head priest Hindupur Panduranga Rao presided over the inauguration ceremony.

Operation
In place of spillways that prevent over-topping of dams, Visvesvaraya employed 48 automatic gates that open and close at the rise and fall of water in the reservoir, in six sets, with eight in each. Each gate consists of a sill, lintel, and side grooves and plates; balance weight; float; chains and pulleys; and inlet and outlet pipes. The gates are made of cast iron and were manufactured at the Visvesvaraya Iron and Steel Plant in Bhadravati.

The eight sets of gates are connected by means of chains and pulleys to a dead weight, which in turn is connected to a float, making up the 'balance weight' together, working inside a masonry well, both on the rear of the dam. The deadweight and float are placed one behind the other so as to have four gates on each side of it. When all eight gates close the sluice, the balance weight moves to the top of its swing and floats to the bottom of the well. The well has an inlet pipe 1 ft in diameter from the reservoir that allows water in when the reservoir reaches the maximum permissible level causing the float to rise, and the balance weight to fall pulling the gates up and allowing discharge of water. In the same mechanism, the well gets emptied through an exit pipe when the water level in the reservoir falls.

Dam
Foundation Stone to dam was laid on 11 November 1911. The dam was built across the river Kaveri in 1924. It is the main source of water for the districts of Mysore. The water is used for irrigation in Mysore and Mandya, and it is the main source of drinking water for all of Mysore, Mandya and almost the whole of Bengaluru city, the capital of Karnataka. The water released from this dam flows into the state of Tamil Nadu and is stored in Mettur dam in the Salem district.

Brindavan Gardens
The Brindavan Gardens is a show garden that has a botanical park, with fountains, as well as boat rides beneath the dam. Brindavan gardens were built by Maharaja Jayachamarajendra Wadiyar.It was designed by German botanist Gustav Hermann Krumbiegel.

Diwan Sir Mirza Ismail of Mysore planned and built the gardens in connection with the construction of the dam.(citation needed) KRS Dam was the first to install automated Crest gates during 1920, which was initiated by Sir. Erwin who was British chief engineer. Display items include a musical fountain. Various biological research departments are housed here.

Flora and fauna
The landscape of the area represents a complexity of agricultural land, rural habitation, sparingly spread trees and patches of original vegetation at the close by Ranganathittu Wildlife Sanctuary, which attracts wide varieties of local and migrant birds. Nearly 220 species of birds have been recorded here in large numbers.

Northerly Island

Northerly Island (also Northerly Island Park) is a 119 acre human-made peninsula and park located on Chicago's Lake Michigan lakefront. Originally constructed in 1925, Northerly Island was the former site of the Century of Progress world's fair and later Meigs Field airport and, since Meigs Field's closure, has been a recreational area part of Chicago's Museum Campus. It is the site of the Adler Planetarium, the Huntington Bank Pavilion (a semi-temporary concert venue), the Northerly Island Natural Area, the 12th Street Beach and numerous art installations. Per its name, Northerly Island was constructed as an island, but is connected to the lakefront by a causeway at the northern end carrying Solidarity Drive to the planetarium.

Solidarity Drive is dominated by Neoclassical sculptures of Tadeusz Kościuszko, Karel Havlíček Borovský and Copernicus.

History

The initial plans that led to the construction of Northerly Island were inspired by the 1893 Columbian Exposition, which saw the significant expansion of Jackson Park. Following that success, in 1894 the South Park Commission proposed improvements to the lakefront from Jackson Park to Grant Park that led to an 1896 plan to connect the two parks with a new outer belt of parks enclosing a shoreline lagoon.

Daniel Burnham's 1909 "Plan of Chicago" renewed the call for the creation of a chain of lakefront parks between Jackson Park and 12th Street. Northerly Island was the only lakefront structure to be built based on that Plan. Northerly Island forms the southern end of Chicago Harbor, and the eastern boundary of Burnham Harbor. As indicated by the color green on the original plan, the island was to be populated by trees and grass for the public enjoyment. Daniel Burnham died in 1912. By 1916, Edward H. Bennett, co-author of the Plan of Chicago, wrote that a lakefront location would be most suitable for an airport serving the central business district. By 1922, Chicago Mayor William Hale Thompson recommended locating the downtown airport at Northerly Island.

Work on the island began in 1920 when Chicago voters approved a $20 million bond issue to create Northerly Island, with construction completed by 1925.

A short time later in 1930, the Adler Planetarium was built; and in 1933–34 the island was at the center of festivities at the "Century of Progress" World's Fair. Taking part in the Century of Progress Exposition, 24 Italian Savoia-Marchetti S55X flying boats, under the command of General Italo Balbo, make the first transatlantic formation flight between Italy and Chicago. Only flying boats could be used because Chicago did not yet have a suitable nearby airport, except for Grant Park, which was occasionally used as a landing strip.

Local publishing mogul Merrill C. Meigs supported earlier recommendations for converting Northerly Island into an airport, but construction did not begin for numerous reasons, such as lack of funds during the Great Depression and WWII. Construction did not begin until after a competing proposal to host the United Nations Headquarters on the island was lost in 1946. The Works Progress Administration connected the island to the mainland via a causeway at 12th Street in 1938. During this period Northerly Island was full of paths and walkways as well as a beach at 12th Street.

Transformation from an airport into a park
In 1994, Mayor Richard M. Daley announced plans to close the airport and build a park in its place. In 1996, the Chicago Park District, which owned Northerly Island, refused to renew the airport lease. The city briefly closed the airport from the expiration of the lease in October 1996 through February 1997 when pressure from the state legislature persuaded them to reopen the airport.

Ultimately on the night of March 30, 2003, Mayor Daley ordered city crews to make the runway unusable by bulldozing large X-shaped gouges into the runway surface in the middle of the night.

Daley defended his actions by claiming it would save the City of Chicago the effort of further court battles before the airport could close. He claimed that safety concerns required the closure, due to the post-September 11 risk of terrorist-controlled aircraft attacking the downtown waterfront near Meigs Field.

While aviation interests and commentators decried the move, supporters of the park believe it was in the city's best interest for the land to be a park.

In 2005, an outdoor concert venue opened on the northern part of Northerly Island. Originally named Charter One Pavilion, it was expanded in 2013 and renamed to First Merit Bank Pavilion, and as of January 2017 it is named Huntington Bank Pavilion.

In December 2010, the Chicago Park District unveiled its framework plan for Northerly Island, to be completed over the next 20–30 years. The planned park would provide a variety of uses year-round with ecology and education central themes. A reef would be built, and the park would be designated into zones of "passive" and "active" relating to the amount of human activity.

In 2015, a 40-acre park opened on the southern part of the island. The park features a concrete trail for walking and bicycle riding, a lagoon, and landscaped wildlife habitats.

Today
Northerly Island's nature preserve is meant to revitalize the environment that was originally there. The new park is now home to migratory birds and natural wildlife. To protect its new inhabitants, dogs are not allowed on the park.

The mile of paved paths has no lighting to create as natural of an environment as possible. The park is open until 11:00 PM, and it is advised by park security to bring a flashlight.

The park is home to many of Illinois' natural wildlife, including monarch butterflies and herons. The park's 5-acre lagoon welcomes many kinds of animals. To make the park as inviting to these animals as possible, over 11,000 shrubs and 400 trees were planted.

The creation of the lagoon led to considerable weakening of the eastern shore of Northerly Island. Stones were piled high enough to hamper the view of Lake Michigan. Erosion continued, destroying and closing most of the east side trail. The city has plans for repairs but no timetable.

The Great Chicago Fire Festival
On September 26, 2015, the closing ceremonies of the second annual Great Chicago Fire Festival were held on Northerly Island after the festival was moved from its original location on the Chicago Riverfront in 2014. This event is put on by Redmoon Theater in conjunction with the City of Chicago and Chicago Park District and is meant to commemorate the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. The closing ceremony includes a dramatic burning of the "GRIT House," food concessions, performance stages, and a dramatic fireworks finale, among other things.

Community events
The Chicago Park District hosts many events on Northerly Island to allow individuals and families to take advantage of all the natural area the park has to offer.

Polar Adventure Days
During the winter months, the Chicago Park District hosts Polar Adventure Days, allowing parents to bring their children and experience nature in ways that would normally not be possible for those living in a city environment. On these Polar Adventure Days, the Park District offers free snowshoe rental (when there are 3 or more inches of snow) and cross country skiing, as well as a host of indoor activities in the Northerly Island Visitors Center.

Luís Boa Morte

Luís Boa Morte Pereira (born 4 August 1977) is a Portuguese football coach and a former professional football player who played as an attacking winger, forward and centre midfielder. He is currently first-team coach of Guinea-Bissau.

Having come through the youth ranks with Sporting CP, Boa Morte joined Premier League side Arsenal in 1997. He went on to play in England's top flight for Southampton, Fulham and West Ham United. He was released in 2011 and joined Greek side Larissa before moving on to South African club Orlando Pirates. In October 2012, he returned to England and joined fourth-tier side Chesterfield.

Part of the Portugal national team from 2001 to 2009, Boa Morte earned 28 caps for Portugal. He was selected for the 2004 Olympics and the 2006 FIFA World Cup.

Sporting CP
Born in Lisbon to parents from São Tomé and Príncipe, Boa Morte started his professional career with Sporting CP.

Arsenal
Boa Morte made his debut in English football for Arsenal when he became one of Arsène Wenger's first signings for the club, joining for a fee of £1.75 million.

He made his debut on 23 August 1997 as a substitute against Southampton. During Arsenal's double winning 1997–98 season, he made 15 league appearances, mostly as substitute and four in the FA Cup, although he did not appear in the final itself. He scored two goals this season, with both coming in a League Cup tie against Birmingham City.

The following season, he was a fairly regular squad member, usually as substitute in the early part of the season, with a few European Cup appearances, including against Panathinaikos on 9 December 1998, when he scored Arsenal's third goal. His fourth and final Arsenal goal came against Preston North End in the FA Cup. He came on as a substitute as Arsenal won the 1999 FA Charity Shield. His final appearance for Arsenal was as a second-half substitute away to Sunderland on 14 August 1999.

Southampton
In his season at The Dell, he made a total of 17 appearances, mostly as substitute, with one goal – a thundering left foot drive at Watford in a 2–3 defeat on 28 December 1999.

Fulham
In his first season at Fulham, he helped Jean Tigana's side win the 2000–01 Division 1 title, making 39 league appearances and scoring 18 goals as Fulham ran away with the Championship with a total of 101 points. His contributions to the championship-winning season resulted in him being signed permanently in June 2001 (on a fee of £1.7 million paid to Arsenal), despite Southampton's attempts to bring him back after the expiry of the loan arrangement.

In Fulham's first two seasons in the Premiership, he was not able to replicate his form of the Championship-winning season, scoring only three goals, although his form returned to some extent in 2003–04, since when he averaged eight goals per season. He gave away all of his kit to the fans on the last game of the season, including his shorts. He was also voted Player of the Season for 2004–05 and got the nickname Dead Snake as joking mistranslation of his surname.

Boa Morte accused Everton forward Duncan Ferguson of racial abuse after an FA Cup fourth round match in January 2004. The accusation was dismissed by the Football Association, who found insufficient evidence.

In August 2005, Boa Morte was made team captain. On 19 March 2006, he scored the only goal in the 1–0 win over league leaders and reigning champions Chelsea in the West London derby at Craven Cottage; it was Fulham's first win over their neighbours since 1979.

He became a favourite amongst Fulham's supporters whilst he played for them, for his impassioned, never-say-die and sometimes aggressive style of play – although this led to problems with referees. Even though his form dipped towards the end of his Fulham career, he was considered something of a cult hero there due to his ability to take players on, his ability to "cause panic like an unpinned grenade in the opposition ranks", and his "emotional character, a trait that strengthened the bond between him and the fans".

West Ham United
Boa Morte signed for West Ham United in January 2007 on a three-and-a-half-year contract for an undisclosed fee, which was believed to be around £5 million.

He played his first game for the Hammers in an FA Cup tie against Brighton & Hove Albion, setting up two goals and on 13 January 2007 in the Premier League against former team Fulham. On 28 April 2007, he scored his first goal for the club in an important 3–0 win against Wigan Athletic at the JJB Stadium. On 29 July 2009, Boa Morte picked up a serious injury in the pre-season friendly against Tottenham Hotspur. West Ham were playing in the Premier League Asia Trophy in Beijing when Boa Morte got his studs stuck in the ground, twisted his knee and suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury. Boa Morte made his comeback from injury on 13 April 2010, playing 45 minutes in a reserve team 4–1 defeat by Wolves reserves. Making an appearance in the first team for the first time since the end of 2008–09 season he opened the scoring for West Ham against Manchester City in a 1–1 draw on 9 May 2010. It was his first goal for West Ham for over three years. In June 2010, West Ham Chairman David Sullivan announced that Boa Morte had been offered a new deal as his contract was due to finish at the end of the 2009–10 season. On 17 June 2010, Boa Morte signed a new two-year contract saying that he was looking forward to working with new West Ham manager, Avram Grant for the next two seasons. In August 2011 Boa Morte's contract with West Ham was cancelled by mutual consent.

AEL
In August 2011 Boa Morte signed a two-year contract with AEL. He thus rejoined former coach Chris Coleman whom he worked with over four years at Fulham. Luis Boa Morte signaled his intent to help Larissa back to top flight football in Greece. He provided his first assist in an impressive 3–0 away win over Veria on 20 November 2011. However, he left in January 2012, just six months into his stay, due to financial problems at the club. He was immediately linked with moves to South African Premier League sides Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs.

Orlando Pirates
On 24 January 2012, it was confirmed by Orlando Pirates boss Irvin Khoza that Boa Morte had signed an 18-month deal. He made only two starts for Pirates and left the club on 14 May.

Boa Morte joined Football League One team Portsmouth on trial on 27 September 2012, along with Ákos Buzsáky.

Chesterfield
On 10 October 2012, Boa Morte signed for League Two side Chesterfield. He commented "The most important thing for me now is to play football," and confirming the initial length of his contract added "I'll be here until the end of January but that doesn't mean I won't stay until the end of the season." The move followed a chance meeting with former Fulham teammate Mark Crossley who was a coach with the club. His contract was not renewed in January 2013 and he left the club.

In August 2013, Boa Morte joined Four Marks, ranked bottom in the Hampshire Premier League in the 11th tier of the English football league system. He knew their manager, who used to run security at Fulham.

International career
Boa Morte made his debut for the Portugal national football team on 25 April 2001 in a friendly 4–0 defeat away to World and European champions France, as an 87th-minute substitute for Rui Jorge. His only goal came in a 5–1 home win against Angola on 14 November that year, a game which had to be abandoned when the African team were reduced to six players on the pitch.

Boa Morte was not selected by manager Luiz Felipe Scolari for UEFA Euro 2004. His former Fulham teammate Louis Saha publicly called the omission "revolting and scandalous", and advised Boa Morte never to play for Portugal again. Later that year, he was included in the under-23 team for the Olympic tournament in Greece in which they came bottom of their group. He was sent off early in the second half of a 4–2 loss to Iraq for a kick at Bassim Abbas, in a match that received widespread media coverage due to the ongoing war in the opponents' nation.

Boa Morte was part of Scolari's team that came fourth at the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany, playing ten minutes in place of captain Luís Figo at the end of a 2–1 win over Mexico in the final group game. After an absence of three years, he was recalled by Carlos Queiroz on 29 May 2009. He earned his first cap since 2006 on 6 June in a 2–1 win in Tirana against Albania in a 2010 World Cup qualifier. He made 27 appearances, scoring once, for Portugal from 2001 to 2009.

Coaching career
After retiring, Boa Morte immediately spent time assisting the coaches at the Fulham academy. In the summer 2014, Boa Morte was appointed assistant manager of Sporting CP B, the reserve team of Sporting CP. After three months, he was appointed manager of the U19's of the club. He was in charge until the end of the season, where he moved to Arsenal and worked as a scout. He left Arsenal in February 2017, to become manager of Sintrense.

In June 2018, he was appointed manager of Portimonense's U23 squad. He left the position to become assistant manager of Maccabi Haifa on 15 January 2019.

In June 2019, Boa Morte was appointed as assistant manager to compatriot Marco Silva at Everton. He was sacked, along with Silva, in December.

Following Silva's appointment as manager at Fulham in July 2021, Boa Morte joined him as first team coach. On 19 March 2024, it was announced that Boa Morte would be leaving Fulham at the end of the season to take up the role as manager of Guinea-Bissau. His first game in charge, on 6 June 2024 resulted in a goalless draw against Ethiopia.

Personal life
Boa Morte made a guest appearance as himself in a February 1999 episode of the BBC children's drama series Grange Hill, giving out prizes at a school sports day. He appeared on the MTV reality series Cribs, showing viewers a relatively modest detached house in Surrey and his Vauxhall Corsa; he said that he had never been in his own garden.

Boa Morte's nephew Aylton (born 1993) is also a professional footballer, playing as a winger.
