Five minutes with Anna Gedda
H&M Head of Sustainability Anna Gedda talks to Good about the global fashion giant's Conscious Exclusive collection and the process behind its creation. The collection of timeless pieces is made from high quality and sustainable fabrics and demonstrates the beauty that can be achieved from working with more sustainable fabrics and innovative materials.
Conscious Exclusive is a collection of individual pieces with a sense of occasion. Each piece shows the many different ways that sustainable materials can create the best style.
The collection is absolutely beautiful. What are some of the key pieces?
I really love this collection! It is a contemporary collection made from conscious materials to be dresses, in a variety of silhouettes, but so is the tuxedo reimagined as relaxed lounge jacket matched with pants with a stylish flounce at the leg.
What personally excites you the most about this range?
My absolute favorite is the sheer, plissé powder pink, gown dress made of our new sustainable material Bionic. I also love the soft blue jacket with embroideries. I'm also the mother of two small boys so I'm very excited that we offer Conscious Exclusive for children for the first time.
What makes H&M's Conscious Exclusive collection 'conscious'?
The Conscious Collections are recurring fashion collections at the forefront of H&M's sustainability work. The collections aim to move H&M's fashion and sustainability development and innovation forward towards a sustainable fashion future. The collections are made from sustainable materials and offer our design team an opportunity to experiment with new interesting sustainable materials that we might then scale up and use in our regular collections. One such material is recycled polyester that we tried out a number of years ago. We have since then been able to scale up the use of recycled polyester and we are now one of the world's biggest buyers.
The new sustainable material that we have been working with for this season is Bionic which is made from recovered plastic from shorelines, waterways and coastal communities. This is the first time Bionic has been used to make a beautiful and delicate evening wear such as the exquisite plissé gown dress.
Anna Gedda
Why can't all H&M's clothes be made like this?
We believe that conscious fashion choices should be available and affordable to everyone – without ever compromising on style. This collection is not the only conscious collection at H&M; we also offer our customers a continuous range of sustainable materials that can be found in our stores all year round. Today 26 per cent of the materials we use to make our clothes are either organic, recycled or in other sustainable fabrics. 31 per cent of all our cotton – which is the material we use most – is sustainably sourced. Our goal is for all our cotton to come from sustainable sources by 2020.
While we offer our customers extra sustainable options, like the Conscious Exclusive collection, it is important to know that all our products are made with care and consideration for the environment and for the people who make them. This is important to us and at the core of what we do, we want people to be treated with respect and that suppliers offer their workers fair wages and good working conditions. Our work includes a range of initiatives, alone and in collaboration with other partners – like our Fair Living Wage strategy, skill development programmes and health and safety training. The work we do within these areas embraces all the clothes we offer, in all our stores and all seasons. We are well aware of the challenges that exist within the textile industry and the work that remains – but we can see that the work we do makes a difference and that things are moving in the right direction.
What steps is H&M making as a business towards a more sustainable future?
The H&M group has been committed to sustainability for a long time, and we are proud of what we have achieved so far. But the fashion industry is still facing big challenges and we need to rethink how fashion is made and used. Therefore, we want to use our size and scale to lead the change from a linear fashion model towards a circular one. The ambition is to create fashion where nothing is wasted; where garments are collected and recycled into new collections so that we use what's already in the system instead of using new raw material. There are still technical challenges to overcome before we are there, but we focus a lot of our work and resources on finding innovations that work on a larger scale so that we can eventually make a fully circular process possible. Creating collections such as the Conscious Exclusive collection offer our design team an opportunity to experiment with new interesting and innovative materials. In doing so, we make more environmentally friendly choices available to a larger group of people, and help lifting these materials to scale and create demand for further innovation.
The Conscious Exclusive collection is in store April 20.

Bad Tour Live in Yokohama Stadium è un bootleg del cantante statunitense Michael Jackson. Consiste in uno dei primi concerti del Bad World Tour in Giappone, svoltosi il 26 settembre 1987, il quale radunò 40.000 spettatori. Il DVD è stato pubblicato in un numero limitato di copie nel 2005 solo in alcuni paesi del mondo, tra cui l' Italia. Durante il concerto vengono eseguite i brani Off the Wall, Thriller, Bad e molti dei Jackson 5/Jacksons. A differenza dei successivi tour, dove sono presenti grandi effetti speciali, qui non se ne vedono molti ma si nota certamente meglio la qualità della musica. Il concerto è uno dei più conosciuti della popstar.

Tracce

Curiosità
 Nel 2009 la Immortal Records mise in commercio il doppio CD One Night in Japan contenente questo celebre concerto.
 In questa data, così come durante tutto il Bad World Tour, tra i coristi figura la giovane Sheryl Crow, che inoltre canta una canzone in duetto con Jackson
 I Just Can't Stop Loving You e Bad furono inserite come tracce bonus nel DVD Michael Jackson Live at Wembley July 16, 1988, uscito nel 2012.

WHY HIGHMARK
RICHARD GERBE
ANTHONY SANNAZZRO
CORE PRINICPLES
To achieve ambitious building electrification and sustainability goals, and to build a carbon-free future, greater building efficiency is critical. HIGHMARK's sustainable building services enable engineers, contractors and building owners and operators to optimize building efficiency. The results of our work are significantly decreased energy use, reduced greenhouse gas emissions and diminished costs.
Since 2013, we've partnered with global, like-minded industry leaders to bring to market high-quality, innovative and advanced products and technologies. We do this to achieve our overarching objective: to better the built environment for centuries to come. With over 30 years of combined HVAC experience, we know what works and what can be enhanced to improve energy efficiency and sustainability.
HIGHMARK did what few could achieve – challenge the HVAC status quo and work tirelessly to increase building efficiency. We seek to curb energy consumption, decrease emissions, enable building electrification, foster sustainability, support renewables, cut costs and enrich lives. Indeed, we're the only company bringing the world's top efficiency technologies to buildings in New York City.
We're motivated by these facts:
Conventional buildings are incredibly inefficient and waste about 30% of their energy input.
Buildings consume about 40% of the energy and 70% of the electricity used annually in the U.S.
Buildings account for 39% of the carbon emitted annually in the U.S. and 67% of New York City's greenhouse gas emissions.
Electricity-powered building efficiency technologies support building electrification, building sustainability and greenhouse gas reduction efforts. For example, building efficiency is central to New York City's 80×50 plan to cut emissions 80% by 2050.
This motivation drives HIGHMARK to search the world for the best, most innovative and most reliable building efficiency technologies. We then tailor our products to meet the specific needs of New York City's demanding buildings. Further, as the situation dictates, we utilize the diverse skills of our extensive global team consisting of hundreds of professionals.
Richard Gerbe and Anthony Sannazzaro co-founded HIGHMARK in 2013 due to frustration with a lack of innovation and customer focus. Their goal was to challenge the HVAC industry's status quo and bring efficiency to the built environment. As a result, their efforts provided key support for building electrification and sustainability initiatives, particularly in New York City.
Today, the industry recognizes HIGHMARK as a building efficiency pioneer and leader. This is particularly true because of the company's trailblazing work in building electrification and sustainability in New York City. Therefore, in reflection of its efforts, HIGHMARK has experienced double-digit annual growth since its founding. It also continues to expand its wide-ranging client base and list of manufacturing partners.
Richard Gerbe, a 2017 ENR New York Top Young Professional and a 2016 Consulting-Specifying Engineer 40 Under 40 Award Winner, is a visionary and seasoned HVAC authority with nearly two decades of industry experience. His robust expertise in the best and most innovative products, technologies and processes available today for boosting building efficiency is unparalleled. Gerbe is committed to challenging the HVAC industry's status quo and imparting a new mentality centered on greater efficiency in the built environment.
Prior to co-founding HIGHMARK, Gerbe worked as both a consulting and sales engineer at Trane for almost a decade, as well as held several other top-level positions at leading engineering and consulting companies in the HVAC industry. He received a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the New York Institute of Technology.
ANTHONY SANNAZZARO
Anthony Sannazzaro, 2017 Consulting-Specifying Engineer 40 Under 40 Award Winner, is a leading commercial HVAC expert, and his proficiency in chilled-water system design, unitary products, complex airside design, ice storage, controls and energy analysis is unmatched. Sannazzaro is tireless in his efforts to apply his considerable expertise to his client projects in order to boost building efficiency and cut energy use and costs.
Prior to co-founding HIGHMARK, Sannazzaro worked at Trane as a sales engineer for nearly a decade. As a technical expert, he collaborated with industry-leading engineers on numerous high-profile local and international projects, many of which earned top-level LEED certifications. He received a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology and is a LEED Accredited Professional.

14-year-old entrepreneur donates to organization that helps veterans
At just 14 years old, Paige Bain is using her entrepreneurial skills to give back to the community.
Bain started making hair scrunchies out of her home last January and has so far sold over 350 scrunchies from her business Simply Scrunchies.
"Once I became a registered business my mom told me that if I was able to make one hundred dollars in sales, she would make a donation to a charity of my choice," says Bain.
Most recently, she donated $75 to Can Praxis an organization designed to help Veterans and First Responders using horses.
"I chose to donate to Can Praxis because I fully understand the therapeutic qualities of spending time with horses. I like to donate to causes that I can relate with," says Bain. "It's our responsibility to help the most vulnerable people because there is going to be some point in our lives where we need help. It also gives me a purpose. Even though I'm not making or donating large sums of money every little bit counts."
Bain loves horses and says it's important to raise awareness and create outreach towards mental health.
"It is humbling to know that our work here at Can Praxis has captured the attention of a young social entrepreneur who is actively #savingtheworldonescrunchieatatime. Paige's kindness and generosity are incredibly meaningful; her actions say to Veterans and First Responders battling Operational Stress Injuries like PTSD, that they matter, and they are worth the effort. With youth like Paige, we know the future of Canada is in good hands," Nichole Budd, corporate & public affairs director Can Praxis.
Bain hopes to continue donating proceeds from her business to charities and organizations and will be hosting a few pop-up shops in the Burlington, ON area in the next month.
"I will be partnering with a couple of local businesses," says Bain. "I'll be donating some proceeds to local charities such as Kerr Street Mission and Halton Food for Thought!"
Bain has donated $250 to various charities since April 2019.

Can a Do-It-Yourself Intervention Be Successful?
A person who is concerned about a loved one's drug abuse may feel that the time has come for a "tough love" intervention.
From the vantage point of individuals experiencing substance abuse, any intervention may seem like tough love. From the vantage point of those affected by the addiction, a tough love intervention may be their best option to help break the cycle of addiction.
At present, there is little research data available on the effectiveness of an intervention, but it is generally a recommended course of action among addiction specialists. In some cases, an informal talk is simply not enough to get a person to get help. A formal intervention, on the other hand, is a clear signal to the substance abuser that it is time to make a change.
What Is Involved in a Tough Love Intervention?
As the name suggests, a tough love intervention involves a calculated but firm approach to getting the loved one into rehab. An ultimatum statement, included in an intervention letter, is a main component of a tough love intervention. It is important to work on any internal resistance one has to writing and then expressing an ultimatum. One can also keep in mind that an intervention group does not necessarily have to get the point of invoking their ultimatums.
Less than 10 percent of most interventions get to the point where the members need to state their ultimatum. Similarly, Jeff Jay, an interventionist and the author of Love First: A Family's Guide to Intervention, has found that only about 5 percent of his interventions involve someone who is so resistant to rehab that the intervention gets to the point where the group states their ultimatums. In the face of the intervention group's pleas alone, a person who is experiencing substance abuse may decide to go to rehab.
It is helpful to put the ultimatum statement in context. In an intervention, whether led by a professional interventionist or not, there are a few key steps that should be covered.
At least one concerned person should take the lead and be the contact point. Other concerned individuals who can make a significant contribution should commit to the process and come together to form the intervention group.
The intervention group will need to devise a rehab plan. The main goal of an intervention is to get the friend or family member immediately into treatment. Preparations must therefore be made in advance. One or two members of the intervention group should be selected to physically take the loved one the rehab immediately, if the offer is accepted. If a professional interventionist has been hired, they may be the one to take the person to rehab.
Each member of the group should write an intervention letter. The letter should include one's loving feelings, examples of the effects the drug abuse has had, concerns, and the offer of rehab. In a tough love intervention, an ultimatum is included in the letter. The ultimatum statement must be well-crafted and have stakes for the person who is abusing drugs. Generally, the ultimatum should entail a significant loss for the loved one. For instance, if a parent is providing the person with housing, and this person has no convenient access to other housing, a suitable ultimatum could be: If you do not accept our rehab offer today, then you can no longer live in my home. This means that if you do not go to rehab today, you must immediately go home and remove all your belongings and turn in your house keys to me.
The intervention group should hold a rehearsal before the actual intervention. It is critical that their loved one does not find out about the rehearsal or scheduled intervention. The rehearsal provides each member with a way to work out some of the most pressing emotions, which may include guilt and anxiety. In addition, each member can read their intervention letter and get feedback so that all letters conform in tone and intention.
If the loved one accepts the offer of rehab, the plan must be implemented immediately. It is critical not to lose any momentum. If the loved one rejects the rehab offer, it is essential that each ultimatum (in each intervention letter) go into immediate effect.
Tough love is love. An intervention only exists because concerned loved ones want to help. When holding a tough love intervention, it is critical to keep these points in mind and remain committed to the end goal. No one really wants to enable drug addiction, but contributing in any way to a person's lifestyle of drug abuse only enables it.
There need not be any self-blame for enabling the drug abuse. In fact, a person affected by another's substance abuse may be experiencing codependency, which some therapists believe is itself a disease. As bestselling author and codependency expert Melody Beattie explains, codependency occurs when a person gets detrimentally wrapped up in caring for a substance abuser. A codependent person's emotional wellbeing and day-to-day functioning are impacted by the loved one's substance abuse.
As Beattie notes in her book Codependent No More: How to Stop Controlling Others and Start Caring for Yourself, codependent people tend to be among the most kind. However, their kindness can have the undesirable side effect of perpetuating the loved one's addiction. Getting tough in the face of addiction is truly one of the kindest responses to have.Importantly, individuals who are affected by addiction must learn to make their own needs a priority. Staging a tough love intervention is also a way of being kind to oneself.
Being tough in order to be kind may seem counterintuitive, but it makes good sense in the face of addiction.

Thomas J. Craughwell is the author of several nonfiction books, including Stealing Lincoln's Body (Harvard University Press, 2007), which was adapted into a documentary by the History Channel. He lives in Bethel, Connecticut. . In his current book Craughwell explores Thomas Jefferon's fascination with bringing french cooking to America.
In 1784, Thomas Jefferson struck a deal with one of his slaves, 19-year-old James Hemings. The founding Father was traveling to Paris and wanted to bring James along "for a particular purpose" – to master the art of French cooking. In exchange for James's cooperation, Jefferson would grant his freedom. Thus began one of the strangest partnerships in U.S. history. As James apprenticed under master French chefs, Jefferson studied the cultivation of French crops (especially grapes for winemaking) so the might be replicated in American agriculture. The two men returned home with such marvels as pasta, French fries, champagne, macaroni and cheese, crème brûlée, and a host of other treats. This narrative nonfiction book tells the fascinating story behind their remarkable adventure – and includes 12 of their original recipes!

JACKSON LANDERS - "EATING ALIENS"
One Man's Adventures Hunting Invasive Animal Species: He teaches hunting workshops across the United States, has been featured in the Huffington Post and The New York Times, and is the subject of a documentary entitled Close to the Bone. He lives in Virginia.
In EATING ALIENS, Landers shares his entertaining, eco-conscious tales of tracking down invasive aliens from Florida to Connecticut and the Caribbean to the Texas Hill Country. At once a romping narrative and a call to action, these gripping stories examine the damage being done by these animals, the challenges of hunting them, and the opportunities to create appetizing meals from their bounty. Feeding people while helping protect and conserve the natural environment, all while enjoying the excitement of the hunt: More and more non-native species are invading our local environments, and there is a real need to manage the populations of these invasive animals. In EATING ALIENS, Jackson Landers takes readers on a wild ride as he hunts and eats such creatures as Asian carp, boar, nutria, European green crabs, Chinese mystery snails, and more. With his personal narrative driving the story, the hunt becomes more than one man's desire to catch and kill prey and evolves into a very real solution to restoring the eco-balance across the western hemisphere.

09/24 Cary Greene, Wine America, Rowes Wharf, Boston Harbor Hotel
Cary Greene Chief Operating Officer "Wine America" Washington DC
The Mission of WineAmerica is to encourage the dynamic growth and development of American wineries and winegrowing through the advancement and advocacy of sound public policy. WineAmerica (formerly the American Vintners Association) was founded in 1978 as the Association of American Vintners, a trade association of wineries with membership based in the eastern U.S. Its early mission included fostering general communication within the developing wine industry, providing a unified voice for government relations issues and comprehensive, affordable insurance for its members. The association expanded in number and geographical base in the 1980s and, in 1991, merged with the much smaller National Vintners Association to form the American Vintners Association. Another important benchmark in growth was to structure optional joint membership between WineAmerica and Family Winemakers of California. With more than 800 members from 48, states WineAmerica is the only wine trade association with national membership. This provides formidable grass roots lobbying strength used to benefit the entire industry. WineAmerica serves its member wineries in many areas. WineAmerica originated important programs like the Wine Market Council, to promote wine consumption nationally; the State Associations Council, to provide linkage and communication for legislative/regulatory issues affecting wineries at the state level and the American Viticulture and Enology Research Network, to establish national research priorities. WineAmerica continues to advance the American wine movement by responding to their needs with creative solutions.

IIIZA SHIESINGER HOST OF CBS "EXCUSED"
Entering its sophomore season, EXCUSED is the half-hour syndicated dating reality show from the same producers of the long running hit syndicated series, "Blind Date." Hosted by comedian Iliza Shlesinger, who won the sixth season of NBC's "Last Comic Standing," EXCUSED offers a fresh take on the dating scene, mining the comedy that traditionally comes with relationships. Since its debut last Fall, the show revitalized the 30-minute syndicated dating show format, ushering in a wave of new comedy-based dating series. With all the options out there these days, finding love can be difficult. The perfect princess can quickly turn into a drama queen….while Mr. Right turns into Mr. Please Stop Texting Me. EXCUSED is here to help. Set in a Hollywood home, each episode follows a group of men competing for the affections of two women (or vice versa). Based on first impressions, personality profiles and intimate dates, the pair of women systematically eliminates the group of men down to one. The final man standing will have the opportunity to select the woman he wants to date and ultimately, one final couple has the chance for love.
Dandy Don – Dandy Dons Ice Cream
Don Whittemore is a funny man with a huge personality who loves to make people happy. Good thing he makes ice cream, huh? Once Upon A Time (circa 1962 – 67), Don was a stand-up comedian. He worked under the name Don Harris in Atlanta, Miami Beach & Newport, KY. (Check out his snazzy tux in this ancient head shot.) If you have some free time one day, ask him to tell you some jokes. The next part of this biography starts just after that but still long long ago, in the Time Before CDs. Don was in the record business. He convinced DJs to play records by Frank Sinatra, Elvis, The Beatles, David Bowie, and Cat Stevens (to name a few). Some of those records went gold. Here's a photo of him with New York disc jockeys Wolfman Jack (on the left) and Murray The K (center). In the late '70s, Don decided to leave the record business for good. Too much temptation for a family man, he thought. And too few creative DJs. In 1981 Don and his lovely wife Linda (pregnant with their second child) bought an ice cream shop in Tarzana, California called The Creamery. They thought it would be a gold mine. They were wrong. So they worked their keesters off, got into the wholesale business, and began a catering division. These are photos of Don (photo on the left, 3rd from the left) and Linda (photo on the right) at one of their first hot fudge sundae bar catering gigs at the Directors' Guild of America. This is how the catering division of their company—now with over 1,000 customers—got its start. They no longer have The Creamery, or any retail shop. But they have begun putting their homemade ice cream into pints, so once again regular folks can buy their product retail. Funny how things come full circle, even if they do take 20+ years. Don's favorite part of doing business is dealing with people. He loves talking to his clients, making ice cream with them, and helping them promote their businesses. He loves selling his ice cream to new clients, finding out what they want, tempting them with great service. He just loves people. And he loves making people happy. Good thing he makes great ice cream.

In 2011 alone, there were about 5,150 newly diagnosed cases of this disease in the US. In honor of CML Awareness Dayand this upcoming event, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, CML Patient Advocate,is available to discuss living with CML, including the active role patients can take in managing their disease and the importance of connecting with others.

BRETT GELMAN - Mr. K on NBC's "GO ON"
Tuesdays (9-9:30 p.m. ET) on NBC Brett Gelman stars as the enigmatic Mr. K, a participant in the support group meetings, in NBC's new comedy series "Go On." It's not quite clear what Mr. K is grieving. But as badly as his fellow group members would like to know, no one is willing to get close enough to ask. Gelman, an Upright Citizens Brigade regular, is currently co-starring in Adult Swim's "Eagleheart." He has appeared in "The Other Guys," directed by Adam McKay, and both seasons of "Funny or Dies Presents." Additional credits include a guest starring role on "The League," "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and "Bored to Death." GO ON Tuesdays (9-9:30 p.m. ET) on NBC He's back, and better than ever! Matthew Perry ("Friends," "Mr. Sunshine") stars as Ryan King, a recent widower and sports talk radio host ready to get back to work after the loss of his wife. Ryan's alpha-male boss, Stephen, played by John Cho ( "Star Trek," "Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle"), has a different plan in store for Ryan, making him attend grief counseling before returning to the air. A reluctant Ryan finds himself in a support group for "life change" where he meets an oddball cast of characters all with their own backstories filled with varying degrees of loss. On his very first visit, Ryan convinces the group to deviate from their normal session and starts a tournament-style competition (March Sadness!) to find out whose story is the worst. Ryan's total lack of interest in "the healing process" proves distracting and he soon butts heads with the by-the-books group leader, Lauren, played by Tony Award-Winner Laura Benanti ("The Playboy Club"). Back at work, Ryan is confronted with the fact that he hasn't really processed his grief and realizes Lauren and the other members of the group might be key in helping him move on. Also starring are Tony Award-Winner Julie White ("Transformers") as Anne, Bill Cobbs ("The Muppets," "Night at the Museum") as George and Suzy Nakamura ("Dodgeball") as Yolanda.

Externship to Employment
Deirdre Emerich '14
Nursing, BS
After nursing student Deidre Emerich '14 walks across the stage at graduation this spring, she will step into her new role as a registered nurse at Overlook Medical Center. Thanks to an externship, she was able to land a job even before her senior year began and win a Career Services Award along the way for demonstrated personal and professional growth, leadership, and academics.
Emerich's journey to the position started the summer of 2013 while doing a paid externship at Overlook Medical Center. With more than 300 applicants for 12 positions, the opportunity was competitive as well as challenging. She worked three 12-hour shifts on a medical/renal/gastric floor each week throughout the program's eight-week duration.
Emerich performed finger sticks and physical assessments; developed care plans and reported to RNs and MDs; took vital signs and monitored intake and outtake; and more. "I was paired with a nurse preceptor and…had the opportunity to receive a hands-on, real-world nursing experience that could not compare to my clinical experience," she says. "My preceptor gradually gave me more responsibility each week to improve my prioritization skills and patient management skills."
In addition to her rounds, Emerich also participated in research projects. She presented an evidence-based poster, "Pressure Ulcer Prevention at the End Stages of Life," to her employer at the end of the program, and also contributed to an article, "Summer Education," that appeared in ADVANCE magazine's digital edition on new nursing graduates.
Emerich stood out among other students in the program and was offered a position as a patient care technician immediately following her externship. On the maternity unit, she gained more experience working with patients, phlebotomy, and ECG. During this time, Emerich learned she'd been chosen for the hospital's Professional Development Program, which offered her a $10,000 scholarship for her senior year at Pace and a 21-month employment contract after earning her degree and New Jersey state license.
"It isn't uncommon for students with internships to become hired by the company once the internship ends. I was fortunate enough to have this scenario become a reality for me," she says.
With employment secured before her final year at Pace started, she was able to focus on various student organizations that also tied in to her passion for nursing, like Student Nurses at Pace. Emerich is also the president of Nu Zeta Phi sorority, which supports breast cancer awareness as its designated philanthropy through Small Steps Towards a Big Cure, Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, Relay for Life, and more.
"Without this externship giving me a door into the hospital of my dreams, I would not be where I am today," she says. "Having this experience allowed me to make hospital contacts, impress managers, and show the staff what I am capable of as a soon-to-be graduate nurse."

Saint Paul, MN Area Scholarships
Saint Paul (abbreviated St. Paul) is the capital and second-most populous city of the U.S. state of Minnesota. As of 2017, the city's estimated population was 309,180. Saint Paul is the county seat of Ramsey County, the smallest and most densely populated county in Minnesota. The city lies mostly on the east bank of the Mississippi River in the area surrounding its point of confluence with the Minnesota River, and adjoins Minneapolis, the state's largest city. Known as the "Twin Cities", the two form the core of Minneapolis–Saint Paul, the 16th-largest metropolitan area in the United States, with about 3.6 million residents.
Founded near historic Native American settlements as a trading and transportation center, the city rose to prominence when it was named the capital of the Minnesota Territory in 1849. The Dakota name for Saint Paul is "Imnizaska". Though Minneapolis (Bdeota) is better-known nationally, Saint Paul contains the state government and other important institutions. Regionally, the city is known for the Xcel Energy Center, home of the Minnesota Wild, and for the Science Museum of Minnesota. As a business hub of the Upper Midwest, it is the headquarters of companies such as Ecolab. Saint Paul, along with its Twin City, Minneapolis, is known for its high literacy rate. It was the only city in the United States with a population of 250,000 or more to see an increase in circulation of Sunday newspapers in 2007.
The settlement originally began at present-day Lambert's Landing, but was known as Pig's Eye after Pierre "Pig's Eye" Parrant established a popular tavern there. When Lucien Galtier, the first Catholic pastor of the region, established the Log Chapel of Saint Paul (shortly thereafter to become the first location of the Cathedral of Saint Paul), he made it known that the settlement was now to be called by that name, as "Saint Paul as applied to a town or city was well appropriated, this monosyllable is short, sounds good, it is understood by all Christian denominations".
