Description:
Every year the members and volunteers of the Elgin Patriotic Memorial Association (EPMA) plan for several months, the events of Memorial Day in Elgin, IL. Memorial Day in Elgin consists of 4 events at 4 different locations, all on the same day. Their flagship event takes place at historic Bluff City Cemetery.<br/><br/>This year, City Councilman Anthony Ortiz spearheaded the addition of the 'Remembering our Fallen' tribute towers to the cemetery, which honors veterans who have lost their lives in the War on Terror since 9/11.<br/><br/>Lining the streets of the cemetery are American flags, each one dedicated to a specific veteran from Elgin who has since died. Putting up these flags takes days and requires dozens of volunteers.<br/><br/>Next to every veteran grave sits an additional flag, put there by the volunteers of EMPA, as part of the Adopt a Cemetery program. A huge undertaking as Bluff City Cemetery is 108 acres.<br/><br/>Each of these incredible displays really puts into perspective the true meaning of Memorial Day.<br/><br/>Events in Elgin:<br/><br/>8:30am - Mt. Hope Cemetery (Catholic Mass)<br/>9:00am - Lakewood Memorial Park<br/>9:40am - Veterans Memorial Park<br/>11:00am - Bluff City Cemetery<br/><br/>Find more information: https://www.elginmemorialday.org/2017-memorial-day-events<br/><br/>Sam J. Olson is a non-member volunteer of the Elgin Patriotic Memorial Association, capturing the event for 10 years. The full event will be available on the River Bluff Studios YouTube Channel in the afternoon of Memorial Day.<br/><br/>https://riverbluff.studio/

_are-you-car-compatible-with-your-partner.webp "One in four Americans consider themselves “car-incompatible” with their spouses or partners, and a new study has found that 10% of men would consider it a dealbreaker if they weren’t “car-compatible.”<br/><br/>The poll of 2,000 married or cohabitating car drivers found that 25% are incompatible with how they treat vehicles — meaning they have different ideas on how to use and treat what they drive. <br/><br/>Forty-five percent of couples admit they argue over a shared vehicle, and 28% have gotten into disagreements and arguments specifically over how the car’s settings are adjusted.<br/><br/>Commissioned by Mazda for its Driver Personalization System and conducted by Talker Research, the study found the average couple shares a vehicle eight times per month.")

_growth-spurts-meaning-toddler-symptoms-mindsets-development-in-detail124boldsky.webp "जन्म के बाद पहले साल में शिशु का विकास (baby development) बहुत तेजी से होता है। हम सभी जानते हैं कि हर बच्चा अलग होता है और उसके विकास की गति भी कभी भी एक जैसी नहीं हो सकती है। कुछ बच्चों का विकास अपनी उम्र के हिसाब से ठीक होता है, तो वहीं कुछ बच्चे अपनी उम्र के बच्चों से कुछ महीने पीछे रहते हैं। इसके अलावा कुछ बच्चे ऐसे भी होते हैं, जो अपनी उम्र से ज्यादा तेज गति से विकास करते हैं। जी हां, इस स्थिति को ग्रोथ स्पर्ट्स (Growth spurts) कहते हैं। ग्रोथ स्पर्ट्स का मतलब है कम समय में बच्चे की लंबाई और वजन में तेजी से वृद्धि होना। <br/> <br/>In the first year after birth, the baby develops very fast. We all know that every child is different and the speed of his development can never be the same. Some children develop well according to their age, while some children remain a few months behind children of their age. Apart from this, there are some children who develop at a faster pace than their age. Yes, this condition is called growth spurts. Growth spurts mean rapid increase in the height and weight of the child in a short time. <br/> <br/>#growthspurts #growthspurtsmeaning #growthspurtsintoddler #growthspurtssymptoms #growthspurtsmindset #growthspurtskyahotahai <br/><br/>~HT.318~PR.111~ED.120~")
