About Denver Springs Denver, CO
Denver officially the City and County of Denver, is the capital and most
populous municipality of the U.S. state of Colorado. Denver is in the South
Platte River Valley on the western edge of the High Plains just east of the
Front Range of the Rocky Mountains. The Denver downtown district is immediately
east of the confluence of Cherry Creek with the South Platte River,
approximately 12 mi (19 km) east of the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. Denver
is nicknamed the Mile High City because its official elevation is exactly one
mile 5280 feet or 1609.3 meters above sea level, making it the highest major
city in the United States. Denver is ranked as a Beta- world city by the
Globalization and World Cities Research Network. Denver is the 19th-most
populous U.S. city, and with a 17.41% increase since the 2010 United States
Census, it has been one of the fastest-growing major cities in the United
States. Denver is the most populous city within a 500-mile radius and the
second-most populous city in the Mountain West after Phoenix, Arizona. In 2016,
Denver was named the best place to live in the United States by U.S. News &
World Report. In 1970, Denver was selected to host the 1976 Winter Olympics to
coincide with Colorado's centennial celebration, but in November 1972, Colorado
voters struck down ballot initiatives allocating public funds to pay for the
high costs of the games, which were subsequently moved to Innsbruck,
Austria.[43] The notoriety of becoming the only city ever to decline to host an
Olympiad after being selected has made subsequent bids difficult. Denver has
also been known historically as the Queen City of the Plains and the Queen City
of the West, because of its important role in the agricultural industry of the
High Plains region in eastern Colorado and along the foothills of the Colorado
Front Range. Several US Navy ships have been named USS Denver in honor of the
city. Over the years, the city has been home to other large corporations in the
central United States, making Denver a key trade point for the country. Several
well-known companies originated in or have relocated to Denver. William
Ainsworth opened the Denver Instrument Company in 1895 to make analytical
balances for gold assayers. Its factory is now in Arvada. AIMCO (NYSE: AIV)—the
largest owner and operator of apartment communities in the United States, with
approximately 870 communities comprising nearly 136,000 units in 44 states—is
headquartered in Denver, employing approximately 3,500 people. Also Samsonite
Corp., the world's largest luggage manufacturer, began in Denver in 1910 as
Shwayder Trunk Manufacturing Company, but Samsonite closed its NE Denver factory
in 2001, and moved its headquarters to Massachusetts after a change of ownership
in 2006. The Mountain States Telephone & Telegraph Company, founded in Denver in
1911, is now a part of telecommunications giant CenturyLink. Denver has also
enjoyed success as a pioneer in the fast-casual restaurant industry, with many
popular national chain restaurants founded and based in Denver. Chipotle Mexican
Grill, Quiznos, and Smashburger were founded and headquartered in Denver. Qdoba
Mexican Grill, Noodles & Company, and Good Times Burgers & Frozen Custard
originated in Denver, but have moved their headquarters to the suburbs of Wheat
Ridge, Broomfield, and Golden, respectively. In 2015, Denver ranked No. 1 on
Forbes' list of the Best Places for Business and Careers. Denver has many
nationally recognized museums, including a new wing for the Denver Art Museum by
world-renowned architect Daniel Libeskind, the second largest Performing Arts
Center in the nation after Lincoln Center in New York City and bustling
neighborhoods such as LoDo, filled with art galleries, restaurants, bars and
clubs. That is part of the reason why Denver was, in 2006, recognized for the
third year in a row as the best city for singles.

Interesting Birthday Facts
The idea of celebrating the date of your birth is a pagan
tradition. In fact, many Christians didn't celebrate
birthdays historically, because of that link to paganism.
Pagans thought that evil spirits lurked on days of major
changes, like the day you turn a year older.
On the
contrary, a birthday signifies your beginning and the joy of
life. Every human on earth has been given a chance to
fulfill their own unique mission. A birthday is an important
and momentous occasion not be be understated. It is a time
to celebrate, reflect and give thanks.
Why do we celebrate birthdays with cake?
The Greeks would make round cakes to honor Artemis, the
goddess of the moon. The lit candles on the cake represented
the glow of the moon, and the smoke from the candles carried
their prayers and wishes to the Gods who lived in the skies.
Who was the first person to celebrate a birthday?
The Greeks most likely took the idea of birthday celebration
from the Egyptians, since just like the celebration of the
pharaohs as “gods,” the Greeks were celebrating their gods
and goddesses. 3. Ancient Romans were the first to celebrate
birthdays for the common man (but just the men).
Which birthdays are milestones?
Here are some answers to planning the perfect milestone
birthday party. A: Milestone birthdays that are most
commonly celebrated are Sweet 16, 21, 30, 40, 50 and 60. For
some reason, after 60, it starts going in 5's...like 65, 70,
75 so on and so forth.
When did they
start putting candles on birthday cakes?
The round cakes represented the moon, with candles adding
light. Cakes specifically for birthdays (rather than
weddings) originated in 15th century Germa
layer cakes were especially popular for first birthdays. In
the 18th century children's birthday parties called
Kinderfesten became popular.
Do your
birthday wishes come true?
Their belief that smoke from the candles carried prayers to
the gods may have been the origin of making wishes when we
blow out the candles on our birthday cakes. ... However,
whether a wish comes true or not doesn't have anything to do
with birthday candles, shooting stars, or eyelashes.
Sometimes it's just chance.
What religion
do you not celebrate your birthday?
While almost all Christians accept the practice today,
Jehovah's Witnesses and some Sacred Name groups refrain from
celebrating birthdays due to the custom's pagan origins, its
connections to magic and superstitions.
What is the birthday bumps?
"The bumps", or "the dumps" in Scotland, a birthday torment
common in countries such as the UK, Ireland, Canada, and
India, involves the friends and family of the person whose
birthday it is taking him or her by the arms and legs, and
"bumping" him/her up into the air and down onto the floor.
