About Colorado Springs Colorado, CO
Colorado Springs is a home rule municipality that is the largest city by area in
Colorado as well as the county seat and the most populous municipality of El
Paso County, Colorado, United States. Colorado Springs is located in the east
central portion of the state. It is situated on Fountain Creek and is located 60
miles south of the Colorado State Capitol in Denver. The Colorado Springs, CO
Metropolitan Statistical Area had an estimated population of 712,327 in 2016.
The city is included in the Front Range Urban Corridor, an oblong region of
urban population along the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado and
Wyoming, generally following the path of Interstate 25 in both states. The Ute,
Arapaho and Cheyenne peoples were the first to inhabit the area which would
become Colorado Springs. In November 1950, Ent Air Force Base was selected as
the Cold War headquarters for Air Defense Command (ADC). The former WWII Army
Air Base, Peterson Field, which had been inactivated at the end of the war, was
re-opened in 1951 as a U.S. Air Force base.[26] The 1950s through 1970s saw a
continued expansion of the military presence in the area, with the establishment
of NORAD's headquarters in the city, as well as the ADCOM headquarters. Between
1965 and 1968, the University of Colorado Colorado Springs, Pikes Peak Community
College and Colorado Technical University were established in or near the city.
Colorado Springs is one of the most active lightning strike areas in the United
States. This natural phenomenon led Nikola Tesla to select Colorado Springs as
the preferred location to build his lab and study electricity. The defense
industry plays a major role in the Colorado Springs economy, with some of the
city's largest employers coming from the sector. Although some defense
corporations have left or downsized city campuses, a slight growth trend is
still recorded. Significant defense corporations in the city include Boeing,
General Dynamics, Harris Corporation, SAIC, ITT, L-3 Communications, Lockheed
Martin, and Northrop Grumman. The Space Foundation is based in Colorado Springs.

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.
