About Rochester
Minnesota, MN.
Rochester is a city founded in 1854 in the U.S. State of Minnesota and is the
county seat of Olmsted County located on the Zumbro River's south fork in
Southeast Minnesota. It is Minnesota's third-largest city and the largest city
located outside the Minneapolis-St. Paul Metropolitan Statistical Area. It is
the home of the Mayo Clinic and formerly, one of IBM's largest facilities. The
city has long been rated as one of the best places to live in the United States
by multiple publications such as Money and is one of the most educated cities in
the world. The Mayo practice grew and is today among the largest and most
well-respected medical facilities in the world. Many notable people from around
the world, including former Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman,
George H. W. Bush, Gerald Ford and Ronald Reagan, have visited Rochester as
patients of the Mayo Clinic. Rochester has an extensive parks system, the
largest of which are Silver Lake and Soldiers Field in the central part of the
city. A major flood in 1978 led the city to embark on an expensive and
successful flood-control project that involved altering many nearby rivers and
streams. The Zumbro river flowing through the center of the city is presently
being readdressed for increased development and use as part of city planning in
conjunction with funding from the Destination Medical Center project. Mayo
Clinic forms the core of Rochester's economy. As of 2016, it employs 34,180
people and draws more than 2 million visitors annually. The clinic's many
facilities, along with hotels, restaurants and retail stores, comprise nearly
all of the city's downtown. Excluding the state government, Mayo Clinic is the
largest employer in Minnesota. Other care providers, including the Rochester
Federal Medical Center, are significant employers. IBM's Rochester campus is one
of the company's most important R&D and manufacturing centers. It has produced
the System i series, been home to the first Blue Gene prototype, and contributed
the servers for Roadrunner. Seven employees at the Rochester IBM campus created
IBM Employees Credit Union, which is now Think Mutual Bank, a chain of banks in
the Rochester and Twin Cities metropolitan areas.

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.

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?

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?

from the Egyptians, since just like the celebration of the

birthdays for the common man (but just the men).

75 so on and so forth.

start putting candles on birthday cakes?

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.

do you not celebrate your birthday?

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.

"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.
