About Hartford Connecticut, CT.
Hartford is the capital of the U.S. state of Connecticut. It was the seat of
Hartford County until Connecticut disbanded county government in 1960. The city
is nicknamed the "Insurance Capital of the World", as it hosts many insurance
company headquarters which is the region's major industry. Hartford was founded
in 1635 and is among the oldest cities in the United States. It is home to the
nation's oldest public art museum (Wadsworth Atheneum), the oldest publicly
funded park (Bushnell Park), the oldest continuously published newspaper (the
Hartford Courant), and the second-oldest secondary school (Hartford Public High
School). It also is home to Trinity College, a private liberal arts college, and
the Mark Twain House where the author wrote his most famous works and raised his
family, among other historically significant attractions. Mark Twain wrote in
1868, "Of all the beautiful towns it has been my fortune to see this is the
chief." Hartford was the richest city in the United States for several decades
following the American Civil War. Today, it is one of the poorest cities in the
nation, with 3 out of every 10 families living below the poverty threshold.
Hartford was a major manufacturing city from the 19th century until the mid-20th
century. During the Industrial Revolution into the mid-20th century, the
Connecticut River Valley cities produced many major precision manufacturing
innovations. Among these was Hartford's pioneer bicycle and automobile maker
Pope. Many factories have been closed or relocated, or have reduced operations,
as in nearly all former Northern manufacturing cities. In 2004, Underground
Coalition, a Connecticut hip hop promotion company, produced the First Annual
Hartford Hip Hop Festival, which also took place at Adriaen's Landing. The event
drew over 5,000 fans. A significant number of cultural events and performances
take place every year at Mortensen Plaza (Riverfront Recapture Organization) by
the banks of the Connecticut River. These events are held outdoors and include
live music, festivals, dance, arts and crafts. They are very diverse in
ethnicity. Hartford also has a vibrant theater scene with major Broadway
productions at the Bushnell Theater as well as performances at the Hartford
Stage and Theaterworks City Arts. In July 2017, Hartford started considering
filing Chapter 9 bankruptcy. Hartford is the historic international center of
the insurance industry, with companies such as Aetna, Conning & Company, The
Hartford, Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, The Phoenix Companies, and Hartford Steam
Boiler based in the city, and companies such as Travelers and Lincoln National
Corporation having major operations in the city. The city is also home to the
corporate headquarters of U.S. Fire Arms, United Technologies and Virtus
Investment Partners. Hartford is a center for medical care, research, and
education. Within Hartford itself the city includes Hartford Hospital, The
Institute of Living, Connecticut Children's Medical Center, and Saint Francis
Hospital & Medical Center which merged in 1990 with Mount Sinai Hospital.

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.
