EDEN — Pete Rasmussen could talk about garlic all day.
He's hoping other people who love garlic as much as he does will come to Eden the morning of Saturday, July 8, and help him harvest his crop.
About 10 years ago, Rasmussen held the first "Garlactica," a large event with music, official T-shirts and more than 100 attendees who showed up to help pull the ripe garlic bulbs from the earth.
The following year was also a big event, but in the years that followed, Garlactica became more about a small group of people just showing up to help Rasmussen harvest.
"We just got too busy to put time into organizing it," he said.
The crop — which Rasmussen said is the best he's had in a decade -— grows on a piece of land, leased from the Wight family, that abuts Pineview Reservoir near N. 5500 East and E. 1900 North.
Rasmussen plans to sell most of the garlic he's growing as seed garlic, but he also supplies garlic to high-end chefs all over the country.
One of them is Haru Kishi, the executive chef for Summit Powder Mountain.
Kishi said garlic's potency makes it fun for a chef to play with in dishes.
"So using a good garlic is really a game changer," he said.
Kishi helped harvest the Rasmussen's garlic two years ago with a group of about 15 other people and said it was almost like meditating. They picked it early, so the skin was still tender enough to eat.
Kishi said he usually preserves Rasmussen's garlic, sometimes with brine and salt and sometimes with honey. Rasmussen said garlic grows well in Utah because the climate and soil are similar to its area of origin in Central Asia.
Rasmussen also runs Sandhill Farms, where he grows far more than just garlic. He has a passion for all kinds of farming and sells the scapes, which can be used to make pesto and grow above ground while the garlic matures below.
For Rasmussen, garlic is a family affair. His toddler, Jorro, joins him in the field sometimes, walking among the green rows.
Rasmussen said he's happy to make a living doing what he loves and hopes to share that with people at this year's Garlactica.

Memorial Day: Honoring American Heroes of Courage, Sacrifice, & Faith
By William Federer 8 months ago
Memorial Day in America, as an annual observance, can be traced back to the end of the Civil War, a war in which over a half-million died. Southern women scattered spring flowers on graves of both northern Union and southern Confederate soldiers.
American Minute-Notable Events of American Significance Remembered on the Date They Occurred
Many places claimed to have held the original Memorial Day, such as:
Warrenton, Virginia;
Columbus, Georgia;
Savannah, Georgia;
Gettysburg, Pennsylvania;
Boalsburg, Pennsylvania;
Waterloo, New York.
One such place was Charleston, South Carolina, where a mass grave was uncovered of 257 Union soldiers who had died in a prison camp. On May 1, 1865, former slaves organized a parade, led by 2,800 singing black children, in which they prayed, read Bible verses, sang spirituals, and reburied the soldiers with honor as an act of gratefulness for their ultimate sacrifice which gave them freedom.
In 1868, General John A. Logan, commander of the Civil War veterans' organization "The Grand Army of the Republic," called for a Decoration Day to be observed annually on May 30.
President James Garfield's only executive order was in 1881 where he gave government workers May 30th off so they could decorate the graves of those who died in the Civil War.
In 1921, President Warren Harding had the remains of an unknown soldier killed in France during World War I buried in the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington Cemetery.
Inscribed on the Tomb is the phrase: "HERE RESTS IN HONORED GLORY AN AMERICAN SOLDIER KNOWN BUT TO GOD. "Since 1921, it has been the tradition for Presidents to lay a wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, which is guarded 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
The number 21 being the highest salute, the sentry takes 21 steps, faces the tomb for 21 seconds, turns and pauses 21 seconds, then retraces his steps.
On Memorial Day, 1923, President Calvin Coolidge stated: "There can be no peace with the forces of evil. Peace comes only through the establishment of the supremacy of the forces of good. That way lies through sacrifice … 'Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.'"
The moving Memorial Day poem, "In Flanders Fields," was composed during World War I, by a Canadian Expeditionary gunner and medical officer named John McCrae, who fought in the Second Battle of Ypres near Flanders, Belgium. Describing the battle as a "nightmare," as the enemy carried out one of the first chlorine gas attacks, McCrae wrote:
"For seventeen days and seventeen nights none of us have had our clothes off, nor our boots even, except occasionally. In all that time while I was awake, gunfire and rifle fire never ceased for sixty seconds … And behind it all was the constant background of the sights of the dead, the wounded, the maimed, and a terrible anxiety lest the line should give way."
Finding one of his friends killed, McCrae helped bury him along with the other dead in a field. Noticing the field covered with poppy flowers, he wrote:
Between the crosses, row on row,
Notable individuals who fought in World War I include:
Sergeant Alvin York, took out 35 machine guns and captured 132 enemy;
John J. Pershing, General of the Armies;
Douglas MacArthur, Brigadier General;
George S. Patton, tank commander;
Leonard Wood, future Army Chief of Staff;
Harry S Truman, artillery officer and future 33rd President;
Eddie Rickenbacker, commander of 94th Areo Squadron;
Quentin Roosevelt, a pilot, son of President Theodore Roosevelt, was shot down and died;
Charles Whittlesey, commander of the "Lost Battalion" behind lines;
Frank Luke -"balloon buster";
Irving Berlin, composer of "God Bless America";
Edouard Izac, naval office captured on a U-Boat, who escaped;
Henry Johnson of the "Harlem Hellfighters";
Dan Daly, Marine Sergeant charged and captured machine gun nests;
Ernest Hemingway, author of A Farewell to Arms;
J.R.R. Tolken, British author of The Lord of the Rings;
C.S. Lewis, British author of The Chronicles of Narnia.
One soldier was Orval William Epperson. Born on a rugged Ozark farm near Anderson, Missouri, he fought in France, being assigned to the 338th Machine Gun Battalion 88th Division. Upon returning to America, he married Therese DeBrosse, and had three children: Joan, Orval Wilford, and Tirzah, the mother of the author of this article.
Orval and Therese's only son, Orval Wilford "Billy" Epperson, served in World War II as a bombardier on a B17 Flying Fortress, 525th Squadron, 379 Bomb Group A.P.O. 550 (#0-768946).
23-year-old "Billy" Epperson flew from Camp Crowder in southwest Missouri, over his hometown of Neosho, then headed for Kimbolton, England.
He had written a Mother's Day note to his mom, tied it with a handkerchief to a small weight and dropped it from the plane.A neighbor got it and brought to his mother.
Little did either know that that would be the closest they would be again, as Billy was shot down by the Nazis over the English Channel near Holland on July 9, 1944.
In 1958, President Eisenhower placed soldiers in the tomb from World War II and the Korean War.
In 1968, one hundred years after the first observance, Memorial Day was moved to the last Monday in May.
In 1984, President Ronald Reagan placed a soldier from the Vietnam War in the tomb.
DNA test later identified him as pilot Michael Blassie, a graduate of St. Louis University High School, 1966 and the U.S. Air Force Academy, 1970, whose A-37B Dragonfly was shot down near An Loc, South Vietnam.
In 1998, Michael Blassie was reburied at Jefferson Memorial Cemetery, St. Louis, Missouri.
In 2000, Congress passed The National Moment of Remembrance Act (Public Law 106-579), whereby on each Memorial Day, at 3:00pm, citizens should pause for a moment:
"Congress finds that … it is essential to remember and renew the legacy of Memorial Day … to pay tribute to individuals who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service to the United States …Greater strides must be made to demonstrate appreciation for those loyal people … whose values, represented by their sacrifices, are critical to the future of the United States …and to encourage citizens to dedicate themselves to the … principles for which those heroes of the United States died …
A symbolic act of unity … to honor the men and women of the United States who died in the pursuit of freedom and peace … as a day of prayer for permanent peace."
Miracles in American History – video series
Memorial Day grew to honor all who gave their lives defending America's freedom in every war, including:
Revolutionary War (1775-1783) 25,000;
Barbary Wars (1801-1805; 1815) 45;
War of 1812 (1812-1814) 20,000;
Mexican-American War (1846-1848) 13,283;
Civil War (1861-1865) 625,000;
Spanish-American War (1898) 2,446;
World War 1 (1917-1918) 116,516;
Korean War (1950-1953) 36,516;
Vietnam War (1955-1975) 58,209;
Persian Gulf War (1990-1991) 258;
Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan (2001-2014) 2,356;
Operation Iraqi Freedom (2003-2012) 4,489; and
ongoing wars against Islamic terrorism.
At the Memorial Day Ceremony, May 31, 1993, President Bill Clinton remarked:
"The inscription on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier says that he is 'Known but to God.' But that is only partly true. While the soldier's name is known only to God, we know a lot about him. We know he served his country, honored his community, and died for the cause of freedom. And we know that no higher praise can be assigned to any human being than those simple words … In the presence of those buried all around us, we ask the support of all Americans in the aid and blessing of God Almighty."
Who is the King in America? And Who are the Counselors to the King? An Overview of 6,000 Years of History & Why America is Unique
Charles Michael Province, U.S. Army, wrote the poem:
"It is the Soldier, not the minister
Who has given us freedom of religion.
It is the Soldier, not the reporter
Who has given us freedom of the press.
It is the Soldier, not the poet
Who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the Soldier, not the campus organizer
Who has given us freedom to protest.
It is the Soldier, not the lawyer
Who has given us the right to a fair trial.
It is the Soldier, not the politician
Who has given us the right to vote.
It is the Soldier who salutes the flag,
Who serves beneath the flag,
And whose coffin is draped by the flag,
Who allows the protester to burn the flag."
In his Memorial Day Address, May 31, 1923, President Calvin Coolidge said: "Settlers came here from mixed motives … Generally defined, they were seeking a broader freedom. They were intent upon establishing a Christian commonwealth in accordance to the principle of self-government …It has been said that 'God sifted the nations that He might send choice grain into the wilderness.'"
Coolidge was citing an Election Sermon given in Boston, April 29, 1669, by Massachusetts Governor Judge William Stoughton, commenting on how persecution led Puritans to flee England and settle the New World: "God sifted a whole nation that he might send choice grain over into this wilderness."
Henry W. Longfellow used a similar line in his classic Courtship of Miles Standish: "God had sifted three kingdoms to find the wheat for this planting."
This was explained further in Benjamin Franklin Morris' classic The Christian Life and Character of The Civil Institutions of The United States (1864):
"The persecutions of the Puritans in England for non-conformity, and the religious agitations and conflicts in Germany by Luther, in Geneva by Calvin, and in Scotland by Knox, were the preparatory ordeals for qualifying Christian men for the work of establishing the civil institutions on the American continent. 'God sifted' in these conflicts 'a whole nation that He might send choice grain over into the wilderness'; and the blood and persecution of martyrs became the seed of both the church and the state …It was in these schools of fiery trial that the founders of the American republic were educated and prepared for their grand Christian mission …They were trained in stormy times, in order to prepare them to … establish the fundamental principles of civil and religious liberty and of just systems of civil government."
Concluding in his Memorial Day Address that America's republic is worth preserving, President Calvin Coolidge stated May 31, 1923: "They had a genius for organized society on the foundations of piety, righteousness, liberty, and obedience of the law … Who can fail to see in it the hand of destiny? Who can doubt that it has been guided by a Divine Providence?"
Douglas MacArthur told West Point cadets, May 1962: "The soldier, above all other men, is required to practice the greatest act of religious training-sacrifice.
In battle and in the face of danger and death, he discloses those Divine attributes which his Maker gave when He created man in His own image … No physical courage and no brute instinct can take the place of Divine help which alone can sustain him.
However horrible the incidents of war may be, the soldier who is called upon to offer and to give his life for his country is the noblest development of mankind."

In recent years, natural therapy has been recognized a common treatments for many people, although the treatment is longer but the spend is less and safe without side effects. The professional treatments are fast and effective, but we know that the cream and fast effective pills will show side effects on body from a long time usage. So we can use some of the natural therapy in daily life.
Psoriasis patients should pay attention to a lot of things, because some small details also can cause great harms to us. For psoriasis patients, the treatment is the key, while we should also not forget psoriasis diet.
For many people with psoriasis disease who will be terrified, because of this disease will hurt us. During treatment time, we should give patients more nutrition, so we can help patient back to health sooner.
From the diets aspect, you should avoid to eat some concrete foods, you should not eat what you want by your own taste, especially some meats like beef, mutton, chicken and so on.
Light diets have been known are good to us, which can improve the patient's condition through good tune. It is worth noting that ginger, coriander, turnip, cedar, pepper, etc. These are some strong irritant foods, so that are not suitable for psoriasis patients.
The irritating foods like too spicy, sweet and salted foods that can worsen your psoriasis greatly.
An important part of our psoriasis patient is that people eat meat daily, which can supplement the human body energy, but patients with psoriasis should eat less oily foods. Some of the patients eat chicken and drink milk will let psoriasis get worse.

Series Preview: Washington Nationals @ Milwaukee Brewers
The Nationals tore everything down at the deadline and now look little like the team the Brewers saw on Memorial Day weekend
By Jaymes L@JaymesL Aug 20, 2021, 10:30am CDT
Share All sharing options for: Series Preview: Washington Nationals @ Milwaukee Brewers
Amber Searls-USA TODAY Sports
After a wildly successful road trip, the Brewers return home this weekend to face another team having a disappointing season.
The Washington Nationals are just a couple seasons removed from a surprising World Series title, but things have fallen apart quickly — culminating in the team dumping Max Scherzer and Trea Turner at the deadline. What's left behind is mostly Juan Soto and a collection of scrubs. They're now just two games ahead of the Miami Marlins for last place in the NL East.
The Brewers swept the Nats in their last meeting, including a pair of 7-inning games in a doubleheader on Memorial Day weekend.
The frustrating thing for Washington is, at least before the trades that sent away Turner and Kyle Schwarber, they were a pretty solid offense. The team still ranks 4th in the majors in hitting, and 5th in on-base percentage — but most of the guys responsible for those numbers are now gone.
Turner, for example, was hitting .322/.369/.521 at a premium position when he was dealt away. Schwarber was leading the team in home runs with 25 when he was dealt to Boston. Josh Harrison (.294/.366/.434) and Yan Gomes (.271/.323/.454) were sent to Oakland.
All of that leaves Soto as a young superstar stuck on a terrible team. An annual MVP candidate, Soto has been legitimately great again this year, coming into the weekend hitting .304/.443/.517. He has an incredible eye at the plate for a guy who's only 22 years old, and will wait you out until you give him a pitch he can punish, as he's racked up 36 extra-base hits this year (20 home runs, 15 doubles, 1 triple in 109 games).
The 20 home runs ties Soto with familiar foe Josh Bell, who survived the deadline purge. He's hitting .241/.304/.459 coming into the weekend and is likely the second-biggest threat in the lineup after all of those trades, although he's a much better fit as the 5th-best guy in a lineup than the 2nd-best guy — as we saw when he was in Pittsburgh.
The Probable Pitchers
The Nationals' pitching situation is also in flux, as they have yet to announce probable starters for this weekend's series. Things got even cloudier for them earlier this week, when Joe Ross went down with a partially-torn UCL in his pitching elbow. Patrick Corbin seems to be in line for a start, but he's been terrible for much of the season and is coming off a 6-run outing against Atlanta in his last start. The Brewers just missed seeing top prospect Josiah Gray, the centerpiece of the return for Scherzer and Turner, as he pitched against Toronto on Wednesday.
Friday, 7:10 p.m. CDT - TBD vs. Brett Anderson
Saturday, 3:05 p.m. CDT - TBD vs. Eric Lauer
Sunday, 1:10 p.m. CDT - TBD vs. Adrian Houser

The roof of your home is one of the things that are cannot afford to underestimate because it protects you and your property from weather elements. When you realize that the roof of your house has developed some complications, do not hesitate to make the required repairs. It is necessary that you consider working with the professional roofers since they have the skills and knowledge that is imperative for the task. With the many expert roof repair companies, it can be challenging to figure out the most excellent for the crucial work. Content of this paper discusses what you must not ignore when choosing a roof repair company in Orlando.
It is imperative that you get some names of the prospective roof repair companies from the house owners in your area. Verify that you will demand to know the quality of services the referees received from the contractor in question. It is something that will provide you with the opportunity to figure out the most appropriate roof repair firm that you should consider for the imperative assignment.
You must know that accidents that can occur when the project is in progress can lead to destruction of property or injury on the workers. It is widespread knowledge that you will want to dodge the chances of carrying the liability of compensating the injured workers or even buying other items. It is for this cause that you can make a grave error if you choose a roof repair contractor before ypou can verify that they have the liability cover and the employee's compensation insurance.
There is a need to verify that you will not engage a roofer before you can confirm they have the required experience in the area. Attest to it that you will desire to understand the period that the roofer in question has been in the sector and the clients they have worked for in the past.

Amino acids increase protein synthesis and nitrogen retention, both essential to building lean muscle. BCAAs are metabolized directly in the muscle and are considered "essential" because the body cannot build them from other compounds. Instead, they must come from diet or supplementation. Take your results to a whole new level with MILLECOR® AMINOS.
Sodium- Sodium helps regulate blood pressure, and maintain overall body fluid. Sodium also helps muscles and nerves contract by assisting the transmission of nerve signals.
Potassium- Potassium is an electrolyte that balances acids and bases in your body. Potassium stimulates your brain by allowing more oxygen to reach your brain. Muscle cramps and low metabolism are common effects of Potassium deficiency.
Vitamin B6- B6 has many benefits for your skin, liver, hormones, brain, eyes and metabolism. B6 helps your body produce energy from food.
BCAAs boost muscle growth and fat loss. BCAAs should be taken around your workout (before, during, or after). We put them in the AMINOS to make sure you're getting them in. We also recommend sipping on the MILLETOV Cocktail™ drink before your workout for increasing energy and lessening fatigue. Also, our WHEY is loaded with amino acids to give your muscles the ultimate amino acid feeding around your workouts.
L Glutamine – L Glutamine is an amino acid that is the primary energy source our immune system. It has also been linked to protein synthesis which prevents a catabolic state by feeding your muscles.
I have noticed such an improvement after taking these BCAAs regularly. My recovery time was reduced and my muscles feel better. This stuff tastes sooo good too!
Best tasting aminos. It really is like drinking grape kool aid, but with better results. They have helped with recovery and feeding the muscle and have helped reduce the amount of muscle soreness so that I'm able to continue to train.
Mixes well and the taste is great. Normally drink mine during my long squat session and keep me fueled!
Tastes great and no weird residue left in my bottle. I use it for my entire workout and usually add a little more for my drive home.
Absolutely amazing taste, tastes like grape Kool-Aid. I drink during my training session to replenish and maintain focus and output. Works great and gets me through until the end.
Best Aminos I've tried. All of the flavors are delicious and don't taste like most other brands (aka chalk). Watermelon mixes well with C-Bomb.
Great product and great taste. Definitely works.
So great to have this to sip on all day, why not keep the muscle fed all day?? Great flavors too.
I ordered watermelon and loved the taste with my almond milk! This is going to sound crazy but I also added it to my coffee and it tasted amazing I felt like I was at the designer coffee shop! This will be added back to my next order it's a must have!
Very good stuff, can definitely feel and tell a difference in my lifting when consuming them!
I have had some real difficulty with recovery due to some pretty serious physical injuries throughout life, but by adding MILLECOR Aminos to my daily rotation (both during my workout and as a sipping drink throughout the day – they are THAT good tasting) I am back to 6 days a week at the gym with no pain, no soreness!
Just starting taking the product and I can see see and feel a difference.
Taste great. Is as advertised. Will continue to use on a regular basis.
Really great product…dissolves well and ingredient proportions appear right on for active lifestyle.
I have nothing but great things to say about the complete product line I ordered.
Will absolutely order from Millecor again,soon.
Thanks. And stay safe out there.
Will buy this again! Watermelon tastes great and is a must during a workout!
Easily the best aminos I've taken. Unlike so many others I've tried, this one tastes great and doesn't mess with my stomach. Love the watermelon flavor!
Love! Great taste, helps muscles recover faster.
100% satisfied with this product! Flavors are fantastic, not chalky or weird after taste whatsoever! I highly recommend the Fruit punch !
I never bought into the need for aminos post workout but Millecor changed my mind. Good stuff, less sore post workout and they taste great.
They was my first BCAA supplement trial. Never had used it before. But I gotta say. It's been two weeks and I can definitely tell a difference during my workouts and afterwards. The grape has amazing flavor.
Great stuff. Auto ship feature wonderful. Tastes great and a nice alternative to soda and other junk.
Love the Fruit Punch this product is a great recovery drink..
My recovery time is noticeably faster and the Fruit Punch tastes great/mixes well. Can't beat it!
Love these BCAAs! Every flavor is good and mixes up really easy!
I just started taking these BCAA's and not only are they tasty (fruit punch) but I've noticed less post-workout soreness and more energy during workouts as a pre-workout drink. Definitely purchasing again!
This stuff is awesome!!! I've never used these before this but I'm hooked. The taste is sooooo good too. Another great product.
This stuff is awesome, Love the taste!
Love the aminos! I usually add them to my pre-workout. Helps with the flavor of the pre-workout, lol! Anyways, the only reason why i put a 4 is because the scoop handle is super short. This makes it very difficult to reach it and scoop the product out. This may have been fixed. It has been a while since my last order of it. I will see and post a new review if it has changed.
Thanks for the review. The handles are longer in the new tubs.
Love this product! It has a great flavor and I find it helps me push harder when I drink it during my workouts.
Great taste! Not powdery like other BCAA powders can be! I got watermelon and can't wait to try all the flavors!
The fruit punch is amazing!

California, Moving, San Jose
What's Living in San Jose Like? | [2022] Moving to San Jose ULTIMATE Guide
San Jose, California, nicknamed the Capital of Silicon Valley, is one of the most exciting places to live in the Bay Area. Home to more billionaires per capita than anywhere in the U.S., there's more to San Jose than its high-cost housing market and tech jobs. While living in San Jose, you'll enjoy amazing cultural diversity, a small but strong arts scene, and beautiful examples of historic architecture. Public art is everywhere you turn and San Jose is known for its beautiful parks, mountain views, and outdoor recreation.
A post shared by Visit San Jose (@visitsanjose)
San Jose was the first city of the Californias. Founded in 1777 under orders of the Viceroy of New Spain, it originally served as a strategic settlement. It was lost to Mexico after it gained independence from Spain and it was part of the First Mexican Republic from 1821 until 1848. During this time, Mexico issued 38 rancho land grants to encourage settlement in the unoccupied lands of California. 15 of these land grants were within the borders of modern-day San Jose. By 1835, the population of San Jose was 700.
By 1848, the Mexican-American War was over and California was ceded to the U.S. San Jose became the first capital of California just two years later. By 1900, the population had grown to 21,500 and San Jose was a center of innovation. During World War II, Japanese Americans, mostly from San Jose's Japantown neighborhood, were sent to internment camps.
By 1940, the population was 98% white. It was IBM establishing headquarters in the city in 1943 with a downtown research center opened years later that began San Jose's major tech industry which dominates the region today.
In the late 1980s when San Jose designated itself the Silicon Valley's capital, the city still didn't have much of a tech industry. That has certainly changed!
Planning to move to the Bay Area?

It's also part of the San Francisco Bay Area (pop. 7.7 million) and the San Jose-San Francisco-Oakland CSA (pop. 8.7 million). San Jose is located in Santa Clara Valley on the south of San Francisco Bay.
Santa Clara County is one of America's most affluent counties. San Jose has a median household income of $115,900, far above the California average.

28.7% non-Hispanic white
15.7% other race
3.2% Black or African American

While San Jose doesn't have the worst traffic, the I-280 interchange for I-680 and U.S. 101 during rush hour feels a lot like Los Angeles.
While living in San Jose, you'll be served by Amtrak rail service to Sacramento, Los Angeles, and Seattle on Amtrak. There are commuter rail services to San Francisco, Gilroy, and Stockton. A light rail system operated by the Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) connects downtown with Almaden Valley, Milpitas, and Mountain View.

The Katarina Elevator or Katarina Lift (Swedish: Katarinahissen) is a passenger elevator in Stockholm that connects Slussen (the lock area) to the heights of Södermalm. The lift was a shortcut between Katarinavägen, Slussen and Mosebacke torg. The original lift was constructed in 1881, but the current structure dates from the rebuilding of the Slussen transport interchange in 1936. The lift has been closed since 2010 due to lack of security in the construction. There are plans to renovate the elevator's structure so that it can resume operation in 2019.
In 1881 the engineer Knut Lindmark, was permitted to build a lift and a bridge between Stadsgården and Mosebacke Torg (Swedish: Mosebacke square), to make it easier for people to move between the different heights of Södermalm. The lift was opened March the 19th 1883. During the first month approximately 1,500 passengers rode the lift daily. The price was 5 öre for going up and 3 öre for going down on the lift at that time.
The lift and bridge was constructed by the Belgian firm Lecoq & Comp, using a mechanism sourced from the American firm Weeks & Halsey. The original steam engine was replaced in 1915 with an electric engine.
The elevator is shown in a scene from the movie The Prize starring Paul Newman.
Painting by Paul Burman, 1919.

John Greenland as a child had his imagination captured by a children's book that told the fictional adventures of a tiny aeroplane named Midge. Midge was undoubtedly based on the single-seat Comper Swift sporting aeroplane. Later at the King's Cup air races at Hatfield in the 1930s, young John vowed that one day he would own and fly one.
In the intervening years John had a successful career as an airline pilot. This included 27 years with Swissair.
By the 1980s several Swifts still existed but their owners did not want to part with them, so John decided to build his own. He found that the structure of the Swift was very complicated and embarked on fashioning hundreds of metal fittings by hand. He was known when an airline pilot to take two cases on his trips to New York – one for his clothes and the other for his tools. In his hotel room at night he worked on his Comper Swift. By the time of his retirement the metal bits were complete. Then the Swift began to take shape in his workshop at his home at Blackacre Farm in Wiltshire. It was finished in 1993, having taken 8,000 hours to build and in the August of that year first took to the air.
The finished aircraft empty weight was just 2lbs heavier than the 580 lbs of the original. Those who know and love the Swift describe John's plane as the "42nd Comper Swift".
John died on 11th March 2010, aged 79, having logged over 19,000 hours of flight in his career. He was greatly respected both in the worlds of model and full-sized aviation.
On the 18th of December 2011 the Club de Aeromodelismo Cormorán de Villava took delivery of the replica of the Comper Swift originally flown by Fernando Rein Loring in his second and successful attempt to reach Manila in 1933. He covered the 15,000 kilometres bewteen Madird and Manila in eleven stages and took 82 hours and forty minutes in doing so.
This replica was constructed using several of the original parts and now is on show in Hangar 1 at the Madrid museum.
Roy Fox brought the nearly original 1932 Klemm L25 D II and the equally original 1932 Comper Swift to EAA AirVenture Oshkosh in 2009.
Both airplanes travelled there by container, on a trek sponsored in part by the BBC and Fly for Life. Initially, plans included only the Klemm, but available room in the container allowed the Comper also to make the trip.
According to Dave Greig, a volunteer restorer and pilot who accompanied Fox to EAA AirVenture Oshkosh, the Comper Swift is the only remaining example of three built with Gypsy III, 160-hp, inline, four-cylinder engines.
"This was built as a racer for the 1932 King's Cup," Greig said. The King's Cup was a pre-war British air race.
Other than the addition of brakes, conversion of the tailskid to a tailwheel, and a widening of the landing gear, the 404-hour airframe is as it was when it left its British factory. The engine is the original.
"We had to make some wing rib repairs," Greig said. "But we are lucky that it has been kept in very dry climates." The idea of bringing the planes came to Fox during a visit to EAA AirVenture Oshkosh last year.
"We were chatting, and they mentioned that this year there would be a commemoration of missionary and humanitarian aviation," Fox said. "And I said that we have the oldest missionary aircraft in the world over in Australia, at least we think so.
The Collection's Comper Swift was the ninth Swift to be built in 1932 and a 15 minute test flight was made on August 24 1932 by Nick Comper. It was originally registered to Alban Ali as VT-ADO 'The Scarlet Angel' and spent the first part of its life in India.
It was a competitor in the 1933 Viceroy's Challenge Cup Air Race in Delhi. Also competing in this race was Richard Shuttleworth and his flying instructor George Stead, racing in two more Comper Swifts. Alban Ali came sixth with the second fastest time at 124mph. Richard Shuttleworth retired from the race. After the race Ali left Delhi to fly the Swift back to England escorted by George Stead. During this flight Ali had to make a forced landing near Gaza and VT-ADU was badly damaged.
After repairs Ali continued his flight, but the engine was not working properly and Ali crated VT-ADO and shipped it to Heston. 'The Scarlet Angel' was then sold to George Errington who rebuilt it and re-registered the aircraft as G-ACTF on May 24 1934, with the aircraft then flying soon after. Errington then flew the Swift all over the country and abroad and listed all of the places that the aircraft had visited on the rudder.
The aircraft was sold in 1937 to Francis K. Luxmore who kept the Swift at Portsmouth where it remained during the war. In 1948 it was bought by test pilot Ron Clear. Clear groomed the aircraft for air racing and cleaned up the airframe, in the 1950 Daily Express race, the now silver G-ACTF finished in fifth place with an average speed of 141mph.
The Royal Air Force Museum officially unveiled the Museum's latest acquisition, the Comper Swift CLA.7 G-ACGL. The aircraft was unveiled to invited guests including relatives of the aircraft's designer and of original owner in the Museum's Hangar 1, where it is now on permanent display to the public.
During the unveiling guests gathered by the Comper Swift for a welcome speech from the RAF Museum Director General, Peter Dye. Immediately afterwards the aircraft was unveiled by special guest Alex Henshaw Junior, son of Alex Henshaw Senior, the original owner of the aircraft. The Swift was flown by Henshaw Senior in several air races around the country including the Kings Cup Air Race in1933 where he won the Siddeley Trophy. Other V.I.Ps at the launch included Comper Swift Aircraft Designer's grandson, Mr Stephen Perry and its Engine Designer's daughter Mrs Shirley Ann Manser.
Designed by Nicholas Comper, an ex-RAF Flight Lieutenant in the early 1920's, the first prototype Swift flew in 1929. Whilst designing the Swift, Comper drew on his experiences with the Cranwell Light Aeroplane Club (CLAC), a group founded by Comper as an extra curricular activity for RAF Apprentices. Members of the CLAC also included Frank Whittle and George Stainforth plus many other individuals who became legends within the RAF.
Only 41 Swifts were ever built and they were only available in two colours – red or blue of which the Museum's is red. Most were fitted with a Pobjoy R type engine and they were popular in air racing throughout the 1930's, 40's and 50's. At only 5ft high, 17ft long with a wingspan of 24ft the Swift could reach a maximum speed of 140mph. Big enough for just one person, a Swift was flown solo by Mr Arthur Butler between England and Australia in 1931 establishing a new record time. Another was flown to South Africa and only just missed out on the record.
Henshaw Senior sold the Swift G-ACGL in 1934 and it passed through four more owners before reportedly being scrapped in 1942. Henshaw went on to become Chief Test Pilot at Castle Bromwich Aircraft Factory and test flew more Spitfires than anyone else. The remains of the Museum's Swift were saved and secured by various groups until 2008 when its parts donated by Mr Stanley Brennan of Manchester to the Royal Air Force Museum. The aircraft has recently been restored by Skysport Engineering, Bedfordshire. There are now only eight remaining Swifts; four in the UK, one in Argentina, two in Australia, and one in Spain.
The Comper Swift is now on permanent display at the RAF Museum Cosford. The Museum is open daily from 10am and admission is free of charge. For more information on the Museum, visit www.rafmuseum.org or call 01902 376200.

Q: Number of (n-1) comparison needed to sort n elements? If i have n elements, say
a, b, c

Then i can use 6 comparison with (n-1) comparators to sort the elements:
if (a > b && b > c) {
   a, b, c
}
else if (a < b && b < c) {
   c, b, a
}
else if (b > a && a > c) {
   b, a, c
}
else if (a > c && c > b) {
   a, c, b
}
else if (b > c && c > a) {
   b, c, a
}
else if (c > a && a > b) {
   c, a, b
}

Now I have two questions:

*

*Do this 6 comparisations cover all possibile combinations of the 3 elements?

*If yes, is it true that to compare n elements, n! comparisations with (n-1) comparators are needed?

A: Yes, because there is n! ways to sort n elements (permutations). one of them is the "Right" way, so it's true - at most n! ....
(there are better ways to sort n element array, but using your method, n! covers it)

A: For starters, yes, you've covered all the cases.  However, what you have isn't an optimal number of comparisons.  If you're allowed to have more complicated branching logic, then you can actually get away with many fewer comparisons.  One way to think about this is that you could essentially run a sorting algorithm on the input, except that instead of swapping elements around, you just keep track of how the previous comparisons went and use that to influence what comparisons you make later on.  Using an approach like this, you can sort with only Θ(n lg n) comparisons total (though your source code would contain Θ(n!) comparisons; you just wouldn't use all of them.)

A: It is possible to sort an array of N integers using N log_2 N comparisons, which is way less than N!. These comparisons are simple ones (compare two integers only). This is where the standard complexity result O(N log N) comes for QuickSort and MergeSort. It is also proven optimal, i.e. there's no way to sort an array using less comparisons than that.
So, in order to sort N integers, you need N log_2 N comparisons with 1 comparator in each.

Model S Plaid vs C8 Corvette with Z51 Package
Now if this was even a fair battle is debatable. However, there is a twist in the mix. Read on to find out what it is
by Khris Bharath, on December 10, 2021, 14:00
Accler8, recently pitted a Tesla Model S Plaid against a C8 Corvette. Yes, yes, the Plaid has been mega at the drag strip ever since it went on sale earlier this year. So, with less than 500 horses in the C8 to 1000 in the Plaid, was this even fair? Well, there's a twist to this one. Let's see how this pans out.
2022/01/03 Tesla Model S Plaid – The Drag Race Compilation
Tesla Model S Plaid
In the black corner, you've got the Model S Plaid that famously produces1021 hp and 1051 lb-ft of torque from its tri-motor setup. The Plaid weighs a hefty 4766 lbs.
In the black corner, we have a stock 2021 Tesla Model S Plaid, sitting on standard 19" wheels wrapped in Pirelli P Zero tires. Now, considering the ambient temperature was 10 c (50 F), these tires weren't ideal on such a cold day. Anyway, moving on, as you already know by now, the Plaid famously packs 1021 horsepower and produces 1050 pound-feet of torque, from its tri-motor AWD setup.
You've got a bunch of modes to choose from and Mike from Accler8 has set this one into drag strip mode, which requires about 15 minutes to prep the car prior to launch.
C8 Chevy Corvette Stingray with Z51 Package
The Stingray meanwhile, this one with the optional Z51 package is rocking a naturally aspirated 6.2 liter V-8, that puts out 495 hp and 465 lb-ft of torque. The C8 tips the scales at 3534 lbs
Meanwhile, in the white corner, we have Morgan Crosbie's C8 Stingray, that's sitting on all-season tires. Under the hood lies a 6.2 liter naturally aspirated V-8 engine that produces 495 horsepower and 465 pound-feet of torque.
This example is even rocking the optional Z51 package (that'll cost you around five more grand) which adds more aggressive performance and aero bits like a rear wing and a front splitter, better cooling, performance brakes, a performance exhaust, and a limited-slip differential. The C8 of course is mid-engined, which should help with traction as it sends power to the rear wheels.
ANd the Plaid did ist usual thing
With the batteries warmed up, Mike was ready in the Plaid. The hammer drops and they're off. Mike had anticipated that the Tesla would struggle for traction, however, that wasn't the case. Instead, it did its usual thing and was off leaving the Corvette behind.
The Plaid took the win by a big margin, however, when it came to getting the thing to slow down, now that was scary. Weighing in at 4766 pounds, the Plaid deserves some performance brakes. This C8 weighs 3534 pounds and does some with performance brakes, thanks to the Z51 package.
Not quite, and the C8 just about managed to hold off the Plaid, but not by much
Now for the second pass, Mike and Morgan decide to give the C8, a two-second head start, to see if that makes a difference. They line up once more for launch. The Stingray is off first and two seconds later, mike sets off in hot pursuit in the Plaid. However, the C8s pace was great and although the Tesla was beginning to reel in the Vette, there just wasn't enough space and the Chevy took this round.
Again, getting the C8 to slow down was no problem, but Tesla struggled once again to come to a halt. Thankfully Mike managed to get things under control and the pair turn around for one final pass.
Taking the first round by quite some margin
For the third round, the Plaid takes a step back and switched it down to Sport mode to see what kind of power it offers. They line up one last time and before you know it, they're off. For brief moments, the two cars are neck and neck, before once again, the Plaid begins to pull on the C8, going on to take round three. Even the Sport mode on the Plaid is pretty potent.
So, was this a fair battle? You be the judge. Now the Tesla is cool and everything, but common, you've can't dismiss the C8, especially for the kind of performance it offers for the money. I can't wait to watch the Plaid take on the C8 Z06 on a hot summer day. Watch this space.

'Tis the Season for Giving
November 29, 2011 Contributing Writer

The UC Irvine Police Department (UCIPD) is hosting a Teddy Bear donation drive on campus and throughout the surrounding community. The drive runs November through Dec. 15, just in time for the holiday season.
Many children this year will be spending the holidays in hospitals and shelters and may be away from home and their families. A stuffed animal or a toy will make a difference to these young children and students and community members may help by donating a new toy.
This incentive aims to bring more contributions this year than in previous years and every toy counts in the quest to bring joy to as many children as possible this holiday season.
Donations are accepted during the police department's normal hours to the drive bin in the lobby. Advertisements for the drive may be seen on the UCIPD website as well as through EEE announcements from Chief Paul Henisey.
UCIPD's Marla Purcell, the Administrative Manger, and Kathy Vancko, an administrative assistant head the program this year.
For the past nine years, UCIPD has hosted this program to benefit children in the neonatal intensive care unit and cancer unit at UCI Medical Center, and to other children's organizations throughout Orange County.
"There is a team of officers [created] and those officers personally go and deliver the stuffed animals and toys to the medical centers and shelters in Orange County," said a police officer who wished to remain anonymous. He will be delivering toys as well this year.
In the past years, hundreds of stuffed animals and toys were collected and distributed in time for the holidays to these hopeful children.
This year, the UCIPD has partnered with the UCI Athletic Department for a more successful impact and advertisement. One free general admission ticket to an Anteater men's basketball game will be provided on Dec. 10 to those who donate a new toy at the Bren Events Center.
Donations will be accepted in the Police Department lobby and will be presented to children 14 years old and younger. UCIPD will escort these stuffed animals and toys to the hospital and give them to the children there who are spending the holidays in the hospital.
Announcements will be made at various athletic games. Donators may also call police requesting information about the campaign.
The majority of donations are from UCI students and staff along with community members and families of UCIPD.
