OPN 2001 Discontinued
The Opticon OPN 2001 has reached end of life. It has been replaced by the Opticon OPN 2001.Weighing a scant single ounce, the Opticon OPN 2001 batch barcode scanner provides aggressive portable barcode scanning, excellent for check-in systems or gift registries. The OPN 2001 runs on a Lithium Ion rechargeable battery, capable of running for up to 1000 scans, and can be recharged via the USB synchronization cable. Sending data to a PC can be accomplished via the Proxis Keychain Synch software, making the OPN 2001 an excellent upgrade from previous batch data collectors.

Celebrate the Seabees
March 10, 2020
"We Build. We Fight." and March 5 we celebrated the Seabees 78th Birthday. If you don't know what the Seabees are, they are a group in the Naval Branch who do construction for the Navy and Marine bases. In the United States Navy, there are estimated to be around 400,000 people. The Seabees make up about 14,000 of them. There are some requirements to become a Seabee besides just being in construction.
It's easy to become a Seabee but you have to hit a few requirements. This includes going through Bootcamp and then enlisting as an OF-7. After that, you then have to be assigned to the Naval Construction Force (NCF) as an Officer or Enlisted. When you hit the requirements from above you now are officially a Seabee.
As their motto says "We build. We fight." Seabees build bases so that the Navy has a place to protect themselves and fight against other countries. It's a dangerous job being a Seabee because they go into dangerous areas with no protection and no place to live. They go in with tents and supplies to start building walls and bunkers. Their food consists of powdered packets and rations until they build a facility to cook food. Seabees are prepared for these conditions through Bootcamp.
Bootcamp is approximately 7 weeks long and you are pushed hard mentally and physically. They push your abilities to prepare you. During this time you will learn everything you need to know. This gives you basic information on taking orders, fighting, and learning how the military works. Physically your body is prepared to fight and live under harsh conditions. You must be able to do plenty of running, push-ups, curl-ups and more.
The first unit of Seabees, known as the "Bobcats" originally started during World War II. They filled the Seabees with smart engineers, electricians, craftsmen, and etc. More than 325,000 Seabees served during World War II. They were some of the first people to arrive at the beaches on D-day in 1944. Seabees have been important to us throughout History, so help celebrate our troops by saying Thank You.

MAP Network (Music Art Project)
The MAP network consists of separately organized educational units – El Sistema Centers, or "Nuclei", which in cooperation with various stakeholders implement programs inspired by El Sistema. Educational center represents a place where the values and goals of the El Sistema are executed; a safe harbor, a place of fun, joy and socializing, where students get support for exploring and expressing their potentials and where they feel as a valuable part of the community both inside and outside the "nucleus". Centers in Serbia, as well as anywhere else in the world, operate in accordance with the highest principles and values of El Sistema, constantly striving to change the lives of all the members of the community they get in touch with. Productive and motivating environment within centers, created by teachers, students, parents, volunteers and wider community together, is a key condition for the development of children and success of the program.
Our centers were established with the support of the Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development of the Republic of Serbia and in cooperation with primary and music schools, social welfare centers, cultural centers and local self-government units. All centers functioning within the elementary and music schools conduct the program independently, adapting it to their curricula and activities, and with the strong support of the Belgrade MAP team, serving as a support regarding the implementation, resources, development and program monitoring.

(aka Parus cristatus)
|Carrbridge, Scotland and Huerta Grande, Andalucia, Spain
The Crested Tit is distributed in most of continental Europe and into the Ural mountains but only in the north of Scotland as far as the British Isles are concerned. See the distribution map at Birdlife International. In northern Europe it prefers pine forest and in Scotland it is particularly associated with Scots Pine. Further south in Europe it is found in mixed woodlands.
|It nests in a hole in a tree or a tree stump. I found one
nest in the top of a fence post in southern France. It feeds on insects, spiders and conifer seeds.
It is a small bird with brownish upperparts and dirty white underparts. The head is neatly patterned in black and white and has a prominent crest.

New execution date set for Georgia inmate
ATLANTA (AP) — A new execution date has been set for a Georgia death row inmate who won a temporary reprieve because of a legal technicality.
Georgia Corrections Commissioner Timothy Ward said Friday that Ray Jefferson Cromartie will be executed by lethal injection Nov. 13. That's the first date of a new seven-day execution window ordered by a Thomas County judge.
Cromartie had been scheduled to die Wednesday for the April 1994 slaying of Richard Slysz at a convenience store in Thomasville. But the state Supreme Court issued an order that morning temporarily halting the execution.
The high court said it appeared the initial execution order was void because a trial court judge filed it while Cromartie still had an appeal pending with the Supreme Court. That appeal was ultimately rejected.

The axe-shaped mould is 8.1cm long, 5.1cm wide and 2cm thick, and weighs 120 grammes. Meanwhile, the chisel-shaped one is 11.2cm long, 5.6cm wide and 3.2cm thick, and weighs 360 grammes.
The two stone moulds are being kept at the provincial museum, according to the museum's Deputy Director Ly Kim Khoa.
He said in early March this year, a farmer found two stone objects with unusual carvings at an eroded section on the Hong (Red) riverbank in Dong An commune, Yen Bai's Van Yen district. The farmer sent the objects to the museum for examination.
Experts of the museum and the Viet Nam Institute of Archaeology initially concluded that the stone items are moulds for casting bronze axes and chisels dating back to the Dong Son civilisation.
The Red River's section traversing Yen Bai is more than 115km long. Thousands of artefacts dating back to the Dong Son era have been discovered there since the '60s of the 20th century due to river bank erosion and agricultural activities. They include bronze jars, bronze drums, farm tools, utensils, weapons and jewellery.
The Dong Son civilisation got its name from Dong Son village on the bank of the Ma River in the central province of Thanh Hoa, where a number of bronze drums were discovered in 1924, marking the first evidence of the civilisation's existence.

|Characterful, small pub with great views over the common. Tasty good food at value-for-money prices with decent Arkell's beers. I had the 3B and the Ginger IPA, both justifying their Cask Marque status. It was a shame that the Donnington's Life Sentence ran out as we walked in and was not replaced. Ciders are Strongbow and Stowford Press. I can't say I have ever commented on urinals before but this was the first time I have seen urinal goal posts (you will have to visit to see what I mean!).

|I was in Hungerford for a Southern League soccer play-off between Hungerford Town & Merthyr Town on a Bank Holiday afternoon. Nipped in here after visiting the pubs on the major roads. The few football fans who'd visited had gone and the few drinkers were seemingly regulars. Very impressed and not a little relieved to find an establishment that's still a pub. The other hostelries in Hungerford seem to concentrate either mainly or entirely on food these days. I can't blame them, as that's what the diminishing pool of punters with money seem to want these days... though I should think the pool of punters with money in Hungerford is still more a large lake of punters than a pool and I doubt if it's diminishing. This isn't Merthyr Tydfil.
The external photo doesn't do the place justice, as the seats outside look out over a verdant valley and it was idyllic on a warm early summer day.
You could call the place a mite pokey or you might say it has character. I'd go for the latter. Banknotes, football memorabilia & aircraft pics on the walls, together with a few interesting artefacts.
Dart board generally out of commission, though: sited above a wall seat & I'd assume only used when there's a match on.
Friendly and entertaining bar staff and local drinkers seemed sociable.
Beer? As mentioned, plenty of Arkell's staples on offer and were excellent. Would definitely be my first point of call on a return visit to Hungerford.

|Nice traditional little pub on the edge of Hungerford common. Well kept Arkells beer, I had the Wiltshire Gold and a Sunday lunch that takes some beating. Will be returning on a regular basis.

|I completely agree about this lovely pub, it's one of the few Arkells haven't screwed up. Long may it survive!
Honeybadger - 16 Sep 2012 17:27
|It's reassuring that pubs like this still survive . The kind of delightful pub that is fast disappearing, untouched by modern trends to modernise and 'gastro-ise'. On the occasion we visited, staffed by two ladies and a shy but talkative parrot This pub offers good traditional home cooked meals, like those my mother used to cook and sold at budget prices. With four Arkells ales on offer, we stuck with the Moonlight which was in excellent condition. A must for a return visit.

A comparative study of extracellular vesicle-associated and cell-free DNA and RNA for HPV detection in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma.
Scientific Reports, 10.
Purpose: This study compares the detection sensitivity of two separate liquid biopsy sources, cell-free (cf) DNA/RNA and extracellular vesicle (EV)-associated DNA/RNA (EV-DNA/RNA), to identify circulating Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) DNA/RNA in plasma obtained from patients with oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPCSCC). We also report on the longitudinal changes observed in HPV-DNA levels in response to treatment.
Experimental design: A prospective study was conducted that included 22 patients with locally advanced disease and six patients with metastatic OPCSCC. Twenty-three patients had HPV-related OPCSCC defined by p16 immunohistochemistry. Levels of circulating HPVDNA and HPV-RNA from plasma-derived cf-DNA/RNA and EV-DNA/RNA were quantified using digital droplet PCR.
Results:Circulating HPV-DNA was detected with higher sensitivity in cf-DNA compared to EV-DNA at 91% vs. 42% (p=
Conclusion: Our study demonstrates that although HPV-DNA/RNA can be detected in EV associated DNA/RNA, cf-DNA/RNA is the more sensitive liquid biopsy medium. As circulating HPV-DNA levels were found to only correlate with treatment response in the locally advanced but not metastatic setting in our small cohort of patients, the use of HPV-DNA as a dynamic biomarker to monitor treatment response requires further evaluation.

Maintainer informed via mail
What FreeBSD version/architecture? If -CURRENT then update as some dlopen() issues have been fixed a few months ago. Otherwise, build lang/pocl and everything from LIB_DEPENDS with debugging symbols (i.e., pass WITH_DEBUG=1) then show "bt" (or "bt full") output again.
Had tested on later HEAD amd64 machines: carrizo, threadripper, broadwell EP architectures. Same issue in all cases (if I recall correctly): segfaults. Currently the package does not build for me, so can't do more testing right now.
Let me ask the other way round: on which architectures have you successfully run the current version (where "run" can be as primitive as "exec clinfo")?
I have already submitted a proposal for a patch (PR 223032).
I do not have modern and sophisticated architectures at hand. But I realise some serious issues with older OCL software which successfully ran a while ago on CURRENT which is not on recent builds.
My last statement reflects that I didn't got the problem, sorry for that. We ran into a similar problem with graphics/blender these days were OpenCL is enabled. I stumbled over this report:
On boxes where I have installesd mesa-lib and beignet as well, pocl doesn't work. Blender doesn't work either.
With #223032 I submitted a patch making lang/pocl build again - but I have never tested it against build environments depending on gcc and I guess the issue in PR 0223032 is only fixed for clang builds. So I need help on this, please.
Just for the record, this one is on the LLVM bug list:
I just try to update our port from pocl 0.14 to pocl 1.0, since pocl-1.0 is out for a couple of days now.
The problem the initial poster faced is still persistent and I was searching the net for some solutions. I'm not a compiler expert and my resources are limited. I tried compiling lang/pocl with the option by setting
via cmake, but this put a considerable load and compile time to the port build I do not want to bear.
Searching the bug databse at LLVM.ORG, I found some references to this type of bug, but at different places and I'm wondering if this is still with FreeBSD's implementation of CLANG/LLVM.
Don't link ObjCARCOpts twice. Fixes PR22543
and another one, which seems unresolved to me, is this one:
Bug 22952: cl::opt + LLVM_BUILD_LLVM_DYLIB is completely broken
Since I use on most recent CURRENT still the default linker, which is ld.bfd, I have not checked whether this problem is still with the LLVM/CLANG ld.lld linker, since using the new linker causes a lot of trouble with important ports.
It would be great if someone with a more decent insight into this LLVM linker stuff could take a look. Thanks in advance,
Can you re-test this with the last patch in this issue please?
The patch updates pocl to 1.0 and llvm to 5.0, and I'm no longer seeing the crash.
@ O. Hartmann
Please, change mail address in Makefile.
pocl version is 1.3, llvm default is llvm90. Is this still relevant?

New canine deputy provides comfort to trauma victims
BRUNSWICK COUNTY, NC (WECT) - The Brunswick County Sheriff's Office "swore" in its newest deputy Tuesday in a Red Vest Ceremony.
The deputy has four legs, is only 2 years old and covered in fur. His name is Boulder, and while he may just look like a pretty pup, his mission is great.
"Boulder is a crisis facility response dog. He goes to crime scenes, trauma scenes and comforts victims in distress," said Sgt. T.K. Nowell, Boulder's handler.
Paws 4 People says this is the only crisis facility response dog in the entire state as far as they know. He will calm victims of domestic violence, trauma, sexual abuse and other crimes.
Boulder started his training at 3 days old, working with prison inmates, learning discipline and over 100 commands.
Then he made his trek to Wilmington and finished his training with Nowell with the Brunswick County Sheriff's Office and Paws 4 People.
"He is an instant stress relief to our office," Sheriff John Ingram said. "He has really taken our agency up to another level."
The department has bomb sniffing dogs and narcotics dogs, but Boulder's mission is simple: to comfort victims of crisis in addition to calming his fellow co-workers within the sheriff's office.
"We utilize him with the deputies and our 911 call center," Nowell explained. "They handle so many traumatic calls, suicides, bad accidents. It's all very stressful, so he goes in and brings their stress and anxiety down."
Boulder will also be a vital part of the Brunswick County community, engaging with students, attending parades and festivals and other community engagement opportunities.

PHOENIX — In a rare sit-down interview, Bishop Thomas Olmsted, the fourth bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Phoenix and leader of 1.2 million Catholics, opens up about the state of the Catholic Church and the positive work that's being done in the community locally, as the Phoenix Diocese is one of the fastest growing diocese in the U.S.
"We want them to feel welcome here, we want them to be able to put their gifts at the service of this local community as well," said Bishop Olmsted.
During the Bishop's 16 years here, there has been a number of charitable outreach efforts.
Currently, the Diocese of Phoenix is behind a $100 million capital campaign called "Together Let Us Go Forth," a three-year initiative that will provide for the future of local Catholic churches, schools, charities and the faithful.
A new Catholic high school was built in the West Valley, St. John Paull II High School.
There are also numerous projects involving ministry and seminarian support, tuition assistance and Catholic school growth and development.
"What I hope above all is that people believe that Jesus Christ is with us today. We're not alone, that if he's with us, there's hope and there's also all that we need in order to meet the challenges of our times, and also to be a witness to hope, a witness to truth, and a witness to beauty and good in our society," said Bishop Olmsted.
But globally, Bishop Olmsted is also candid about his thoughts on the sex abuse scandal that has plagued the Catholic Church.
Pope Francis recently held an unprecedented summit at the Vatican to address the sex abuse within the Catholic Church.
There were about 190 people as part of the delegation to the meeting. Among the several from the U.S. were Cardinal Daniel DiNardo, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, Chicago Archbishop Blase Cupich and Boston Cardinal Sean O'Malley.
During this summit, Pope Francis urged bishops around the country to "listen to the cry of the children who ask for justice."
In response to this meeting, Bishop Olmsted said, "It was badly needed because we really needed to make a decisive response to this great scandal that's happening in society and happening within the church.
"So we have to be decisive in addressing this, not only to address those who have been abused, to make sure they know we want them to come forward. We want them to report to civil authorities. We also want them to come forward to so we can offer them healing and assistance and getting their lives back together, assisting their families too.
"But we also need to hold accountable those who not only abuse, but if anyone covers up the abuse, and that's what I'm pleased about because I'm hearing that Pope Francis intends to address that very directly on the basis of what he's heard at this summit."
I asked Bishop Olmsted what he would want to say to these survivors of sexual abuse.
He replied, "I want to say to them that I'm very sorry for what they've suffered. And that I wish them to come forward so we can assist them to move beyond this really terrible injustice that was done to them.
"We need to do that. It's something we're obliged to do. But we're called to do that at this time in history. If we do not address this decisively now, shame on us. We have a great responsibility to address this problem that we've become aware of in our society and in our church. And we have to act on that now."
In terms of the way the church is assisting and addressing abuse, Bishop Olmsted explained, "For example, when you talk about here in the Diocese of Phoenix, we train about 30,000 adults, these would be priests, deacons, lay leaders, these would be volunteers, employees, all those are trained on safe environments, how to create safe environments. And then we train about 30,000 of our young people so they're aware if someone is stalking them or if someone is trying to move in a direction that would not respect their full dignity."
Just this week, there was also more fallout within the Catholic Church with Cardinal George Pell, who was convicted of sexually abusing children.
Pell was one of the closest people to the Pope and one of the most powerful men in the Catholic Church.
Bishop Olmsted said he was surprised by this news, as well as others, and added, "But I'm glad it's coming out. The only way these very dark, horrible evils can be brought to an end is if they're brought to the light of Christ, to the light of day. So we can only address them if we know about them. I'm pleased that they're coming forward. And I hope that people will continue to bring forward any accusations that are based on truth."
There have also been allegations that priests and bishops in the Catholic Church had sexually abused nuns, and for the first time, Pope Francis has publicly acknowledged the issue.
In response to that revelation, Bishop Olmsted said, "Any kind of abuse is a great, great evil because the human dignity of every person from the moment they're conceived in the womb all the way through life is something that we have to be deeply concerned about. And whenever someone is abused, especially the younger they are, the more innocent they are, the more vulnerable they are, the greater the responsibility of the adults and those of authority in society to address that very decisively."
Every year, twice a year, Bishop Olmsted holds a special mass for survivors of sexual abuse in the Catholic Church.
He then spends more than an hour visiting with individuals after mass, hearing the horrible suffering they've experienced.
"It's heartbreaking. But I've also discovered—because not only do I have mass with them twice a year, I meet with them also, those who have been abused when it's helpful for them to do so—in the beginning, they're often so angry or so hurt that they have to have some help from a counselor or someone like that. But I've met with many, many of whom have been abused. Those have deeply touched my heart.
"And they've convinced me that what the summit was about last week in Rome and what we need to be about is really addressing this straight on and really bringing real help so that this does not happen again. There'll be no cover-ups that are there so that every single child will have a safe environment within the church and every parish," he said.
Bishop Olmsted also holds grief to grace retreats at the Diocese of Phoenix.
"Grief to grace retreats are retreats that are held usually for four days in which there's a priest present, there's a counselor present, there's those who understand the kind of terrible journey that it is is to come from being abused, especially as a minor, and then to coming back to becoming healthy and whole again," he said.
There are also church bulletins in every parish for help and consolation. And there are websites that help survivors as well.
The Catholic Sun is a daily website and monthly newspaper. There are stories about youth protection, and "Keeping Our Eyes Fixed on Jesus" is the response to the scandal in the church.
In light of everything, Bishop Olmsted hopes these allegations of sexual abuse within the Catholic Church encourage people to come forward.
"I hope that it will also give them confidence that God loves them and that others of us in the church are reaching out and really want them to get back on their feet," he said.

Pool of retired and nonworking emergency nurses could be recruited in a disaster
The COVID-19 pandemic fueled an acute, countrywide need for registered nurses, and this underscored the need for clear staffing plans and an assessment of what, exactly, the registered nursing workforce looks like.
To that end, new research published in the Annals of Emergency Medicine by assistant professor Sue Anne Bell, a disaster expert on the faculty at the University of Michigan School of Nursing, estimates the workforce capacity of all registered nurses who are not currently working in the nursing field in the United States and attempts to describe the job mobility of emergency nurses.
Can you describe the study and the important findings?
The goal of this study was to estimate the registered nurse workforce in the U.S. that is not currently working in nursing. In a large-scale disaster, recruiting from retired and nonworking registered nurses is one strategy to address surge demands in the emergency nursing workforce.
We were also interested in mobility into and out of the emergency nursing specialty between 2016 and 2017. We used an existing data source, the 2018 National Sample Survey of Registered Nurses, where estimates of all registered nurses—including nurse practitioners who were not actively working in nursing, as well as only those who were retired—based on demographics, place of residence and per 1,000 state population, were visualized on choropleth maps.
Workforce mobility into and out of the emergency nursing specialty between 2016 and 2017 was quantified, where we found that there is a very small potential pool (around 5%) of skilled emergency nurses who have left the specialty to work in other settings that could return to the emergency department setting for surge capacity. These specific findings are important because emergency nursing is a speciality that is highly skilled, and requires training over time, where recruiting nonworking nurses with recent experience as emergency nurses would be an approach to addressing staffing needs in the emergency department.
We found that of the survey participants, 61% worked full-time as registered nurses at the end of both 2016 and 2017. At the end of 2017, 17% were not working in nursing. The largest proportion of those entering the emergency nursing specialty were newly licensed nurses, 15%.
Our results indicate there is an additional and reserve capacity available for recruitment that may help to meet the workforce needs for nursing, specifically emergency nurses and nurse practitioners, across the United States under conditions of a large-scale disaster. The results from this study may be used by the emergency care sector leaders to inform policies, workforce recruitment, workforce geographic mobility, new graduate nurse training, and job accommodation strategies to fully leverage the potential productive human capacity in emergency department care for registered nurses who are not currently working.
Michigan's results were noteworthy in that the Great Lakes states and Maine demonstrated the highest per capita rate of those not working in nursing, including those who had retired. Does this set Michigan apart?
This study does set apart Maine and the Great Lakes states, and what we learned is that there may be a greater reserve capacity of registered nurses to pull from in future public health emergencies. While we did not look at the reasons why, I would say that Michigan is a great state to live in and retire to––in the summer. We have a large population of "snowbird'" retirees, as do other Great Lakes states, and Maine. This means snowbird retirees often leave to spend winters in warmer states. That might be one explanation for the results, but there may be other reasons we have not investigated as well.
Michigan had among the most nurses currently not working as nurses, and also a lot of retired nurses. Any idea why?
We looked at regional variation to inform what the reserve pool of nonworking nurses might be. This study did not look at the reasons why nurses are not working––though we already know that burnout, unsafe working conditions (often related to inadequate staffing) and high workloads are just a few reasons. Exploring the 'why' behind the nonworking nurses in Michigan is another future study.
Nurses were under such pressure during COVID, it seems like the perfect time to reach out to retired nurses and those not currently working, etc., to ask for help. Why didn't that happen?
The nursing profession is one where the focus is on caring, supporting our patients' return to optimum levels of health and responding to those in need. Just a quick scan of news headlines about the pandemic––and the vaccination campaign––shows that many retired nurses did in fact come out of retirement and return to nursing, whether on a volunteer basis, a part-time role or even back to full-time employment.
For example, I was part of the field hospital planning team at Michigan Medicine at the height of Michigan's first surge––we were overwhelmed with nurses willing to volunteer their time to support this effort. However, I think a clear plan, driven by policy, that can target the nonworking nursing workforce would be an excellent and needed output that could be informed by our study.
Did anything about this study surprise you or challenge conventional thinking?
Nursing is an aging workforce, so that was not surprising. But, we were surprised by the fairly large number of nurses who are no longer working in nursing, but are not of formal retirement age.
As a nurse myself, this profession has been one that is incredibly rewarding, but I believe steps must be taken to better protect and support the nursing workforce as a whole. Just this month, the National Academy of Medicine released a consensus report that charts the vision for the future of nursing––the report specifically emphasized the need for a more diverse workforce as well as one that is better prepared to respond to public health emergencies.
What's the next step in this line of research?
Our team has another paper under review right now that looks at national estimates of telehealth use by registered nurses—another potential solution to addressing patient care needs despite health care worker shortages in pandemics and in other disasters. Other next steps might include reaching out to this group of RNs to assess their interest and readiness to return to the workforce, should the need arise again.

In yet another sign of tightening credit choking off consumer spending, Morgan Stanley (MS) is freezing its clients' home-equity lines of credit (HELOC). As housing prices continue to crater, MS can no longer be sure of the value of the primary asset its clients use as collateral for these loans. A representative for Morgan Stanley said:
Morgan Stanley periodically reassesses client property values and risk profiles. A segment of clients was recently notified of a change in the status of their home- equity line of credit, or HELOC, due to a change in the value of their property and/or their credit profile.
Morgan Stanley refused to disclose the size of the segment of customers that will be be affected by the move.
This move makes sense for Morgan Stanley--who wants to throw money away?--but it's another example of consumer credit tightening. This will ultimately make it harder for consumer spending to recover--and consumers still account for 72% of the economy.

TGIF! I picked up this cozy striped sweater when I was in San Francisco for a fun private shopping event with Nordstrom Rack. My trip to SF was a short one, but I was able to check out the new store, catch up with some of my favorite bloggers (love these shots Liz just posted from our #ShopGenius shoot), and visit with my sister who is moving there in June! Nordstrom Rack is opening a ton of stores over the next few months – including one in Brooklyn. Share your purchases with them on Instagram using the hashtag #ShopGenius for a chance to be featured on their page! Have a great weekend :)
Special thanks to Nordstrom Rack for sponsoring this post.
