Preparing Ubuntu for Neutron
This OpenStack tutorial describes prerequisites to prepare your servers to leverage OpenStack Neutron with Ubuntu.
For a general description of Neutron networking concepts, refer to the tutorial Networking with OpenStack Neutron Basic Concepts. Refer to Platform9 Managed OpenStack prerequisites for Linux/KVM for hardware requirements for Platform9 Managed OpenStack.
Prepare Your Linux/KVM Physical Servers for Neutron
The following image (Figure 1) represents three hypervisors connected in a Managed OpenStack Neutron network.
In order to run a Managed OpenStack Neutron network, each of your physical hypervisors and the Neutron network nodes must be prepared with following steps.
Step 1: Install, enable, and start the NTP Daemon
The NTP daemon is required for all components to have their time synchronized.
Run the following commands to install, enable and start the NTP daemon.
apt-get install -y ntp
service ntp start
Step 2: Install required packages and load the modules needed for Neutron
Run the following commands to load the modules needed for Neutron.
apt-get update
apt-get install -y dnsmasq arping conntrack ifenslave vlan software-properties-common
modprobe bridge
modprobe br_netfilter
modprobe 8021q
modprobe bonding
echo bridge >/etc/modules-load.d/pf9.conf
echo 8021q >> /etc/modules-load.d/pf9.conf
echo bonding >> /etc/modules-load.d/pf9.conf
echo br_netfilter >> /etc/modules-load.d/pf9.conf
Step 3: Add sysctl options
Run the following commands to add sysctl options.
echo net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter=0 >> /etc/sysctl.conf
echo net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter=0 >> /etc/sysctl.conf
echo net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables=1 >> /etc/sysctl.conf
echo net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 >> /etc/sysctl.conf
echo net.ipv4.tcp_mtu_probing=2 >> /etc/sysctl.conf
sysctl -p
Step 4: Add the Platform9 APT Repository
Run the following command to install the Platform9 APT repository that contains the latest Open vSwitch version.
add-apt-repository 'deb [trusted=yes] http://platform9-neutron.s3-website-us-west-1.amazonaws.com ubuntu_latest/'
Run the following command to install the LTS version.
add-apt-repository 'deb [trusted=yes] http://platform9-neutron.s3-website-us-west-1.amazonaws.com ubuntu/'
Step 5: Install Open vSwitch
Run the following command to install Open vSwitch.
# Ubuntu 14.04
apt-get -y --force-yes install openvswitch-switch
# Ubuntu 16.04 and higher
apt-get -y install openvswitch-switch
Step 6: Enable and start Open vSwitch
Run the following commands to enable and start Open vSwitch.
# Ubuntu 14.04
update-rc.d openvswitch-switch
defaults service openvswitch-switch start
# Ubuntu 16.04 and higher
systemctl enable openvswitch-switch.service
systemctl start openvswitch-switch.service
Step 7: Install Router Advertisement Daemon
Run the following command to install the Router Advertisement Daemon.
apt-get -y install radvd
Step 8: Configure physical interfaces
Figure 1 in the article represents a sample Neutron network configuration. Steps 7 through 11 are based on the configuration shown in Figure 1 from the article. Steps 7 through 11 describe the configuration of physical interfaces into a Linux bond, addition of VLAN interfaces for management, VXLAN/GRE network traffic and storage. You may or may not require one or more of these steps. The steps to follow would be based on your Neutron network configuration. For instance, if you do not plan on using VXLAN/GRE, you can skip the step to set up VXLAN/GRE tunneling interface.
Add the following to /etc/network/interfaces
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet manual
bond-master bond0
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet manual
bond-master bond0
auto bond0
iface bond0 inet manual
bond-mode 802.3ad
bond-lacp-rate 1
bond-slaves eth0 eth1
Step 9: Set up the Bond interface
Add the following to /etc/network/interfaces to create the bond.
auto bond0
iface bond0 inet manual
bond-mode 802.3ad
bond-slaves eth0 eth1
Step 10: Setup the Management interface
Add the following entries to the respective configuration file associated with the management VLAN, to set up the management interface.
auto bond0.101
iface bond0.101 inet static
address 192.0.2.10
netmask 255.255.255.0
dns-nameservers 192.0.2.100 192.0.2.200
dns-search pf9.example
Step 11: Setup the VXLAN/GRE tunneling interface (Optional)
GRE and VXLAN require 24 bytes and 50 bytes of overhead, respectively. Platform9 recommends at least a minimum MTU of 1600 to accommodate this overhead, with a 9000 byte MTU preferred.
Add the following entries to the respective configuration file associated with the tunneling VLAN, to set up VXLAN/GRE tunneling interface.
auto bond0.102
iface bond0.102 inet static
address 198.51.100.10
netmask 255.255.255.0
post-up ifconfig bond0 mtu 9000
post-up ifconfig bond0.102 mtu 9000
Step 12: Setup the Storage interface (Optional)
Add the following entries to the respective configuration file associated with the storage VLAN, to set up the storage interface.
auto bond0.103
iface bond0.103 inet manual
address 203.0.113.10
netmask 255.255.255.0
post-up ifconfig bond0 mtu 9000
post-up ifconfig bond0.103 mtu 9000
Step 13: Restart Networking
Run the following command to restart the network service.
ifdown -a ifup -a ifup -a --allow=ovs
Step 14: Create OVS Bridges
The number of OVS bridges you would need depend on how many physical networks your hosts connect to, and what types of networks you would create.
Let us look at some basic networking terminology before creating the bridges.
- An access port represents a single "flat" physical network or VLAN, and carries untagged traffic.
- A trunk port logically groups together multiple VLANs. An 802.1Q "QTag" header is inserted into the Ethernet frame for all VLAN traffic. All untagged traffic is implicitly assigned a default, native VLAN per your data center's switch configuration.
When configuring Platform9 OpenStack's Networking Config, each physical network is given a Label as a name, and that label mapped to a particular OVS bridge on the host during host authorization.
Let us look at two different examples of common host networking setups.
Example 1: Non-DVR setup with one external flat network, and trunk port for VLAN traffic
The following figure (Figure 2) represents a non-DVR network setup with an external flat network, and a trunk port for VLAN traffic.
In Figure 2 above, the network has a trunk port consisting of eth0 and eth1 in a bond that will carry our VLAN-based networks (tenant, provider), as well as a dedicated port (eth2) that connects to a separate external network. This is a legacy, non-DVR setup where external connectivity and L3 capability is only on network nodes. Nodes that are hypervisors only carry the tenant network traffic, and need just 1 OVS bridge.
Run the following commands to add OVS bridges on the hypervisors. The steps below assume eth0/eth1 have already been configured in a Linux bond called "bond0". Please refer to steps 7-11 to set up your physical interfaces.
ovs-vsctl add-br br-vlan
ovs-vsctl add-port br-vlan bond0
On the network node, we have a separate NIC that connects to a different physical network. For this, we need a separate OVS bridge.
Run the following commands to add an OVS bridge.
ovs-vsctl add-br br-ext
ovs-vsctl add-port br-ext eth2
Example 2: DVR setup with a pair of NICs in a bond
The following figure (Figure 3) represents a DVR network setup with a pair of NICs in a bond.
In the DVR setup seen in figure 3 above, every host has external L3 connectivity. Here, we only have a pair of NICs in a bond. Therefore, the OVS Bridge can only support one Flat (untagged) network, and as many VLAN-tagged networks as your networking infrastructure allows. There are multiple external networks that are VLAN-based, in addition to our tenant networks.
Run the following commands to add an OVS bridge on all hosts.
ovs-vsctl add-br br-vlan
ovs-vsctl add-port br-vlan bond0

How To Play Pot-limit Omaha (PLO)
In Pot Limit Omaha every player is dealt four cards; the gameplay is exactly like Texas Hold'em.
Like Texas Hold'em, In Pot Limit Omaha (PLO) there's a
– Button
– A Small-Blind
– A Big-Blind
– & Four Betting Rounds
The difference with Omaha of-course is you're going to have nine cards and they are
– 4 Hole Cards
– Flop
– Turn
– & River
You can only use two from your hand and you must use exactly two.
Also, with it being 'Pot-Limit' you can only bet the exact number of the pot no more.
Pot Limit Omaha (PLO) is in some ways a lot like Texas Hold'em, though when it comes to the actual strategy… it's a very different poker game altogether.
Omaha PLO is a very complicated game.
You have to account for a lot of 'dead-cards' which is different from Texas Hold'em.
In Pot Limit Omaha you must know one thing… the average winning hand is much better than it would be in a game like Texas Hold'em… because it's so many extra cards in play.
The real key to Pot-Limit Omaha…
Is to have a coordinated hand, you need all four cards to work together.
The most misplayed hand in Pot limit Omaha…
Is probably a hand with 2 Aces in it, while aces is really a strong hand in No-Limit Hold'em, but in Pot Limit Omaha if you don't catch a really good flop of Pocket-Aces a lot of time you can just… 'Check' and 'Fold'.
When you play poker game pot limit Omaha even more so than Texas Hold'em… you'll know PLO is a game of position, so you could play almost any hand if you're on the dealer button.
We are not saying that you should play any hand…
…But you could almost every hand… whereas even a very good starting hand and if you're out of position it's hard to play that hand for profit.
There aren't too many specialized Omaha players, especially for low stakes and it's still a very profitable game… also in Omaha there's never is one hand that is much of a big favorite against another hand.
It is a fun game, it's a huge action game and people of action… and it's so, the direction Poker headed right now is PLO, as PLO is going to be pretty big in the future.
If you know how to play Hold'em, you're going to figure out the fundamentals of Omaha right away… but those little tricky details that's what separates a mediocre player from the champions in the game of… Pot-Limit Omaha.

Analysis by the regulators also highlighted the competitiveness of the mortgage market this year.
In Q2 2018, the proportion of mortgage loans at less than 2% above BoE base rate (BBR) continued to increase to 76.2% of the market.
In addition, the percentage of loans extended 4% or more above BBR has decreased to 2.9% and the percentage of loans between 2% and 3% above BBR decreased by 0.19 percentage points.
The £66.7bn total lending was 6.4% up on the same period last year and 6.9% up on the first three months of 2018.
However, the rise in volume was driven by higher loan-to-value (LTV) and loan-to-income (LTI) lending as first-time buyers took a greater role in the market, rising to take 21.4% of new lending.
The share of new lending in the highest LTI brackets in Q2 2018 increased overall compared to last quarter from 43.9% to 45.1% in Q2 2018
There has also been an increase in the proportion of loans above 90% LTV.
Increasing house purchases
House purchase loans grew by 1.9 percentage points to 63.0%, driven by an increase in home movers.
Meanwhile, re-mortgaging declined by two percentage points as a proportion of new lending from Q1 2018, accounting for 30.8% of new lending at £20.5bn in Q2.
The share of buy-to-let borrowing returned to 13.1% of new lending, a similar level as last year, after a slight uptick in the first quarter.

Balsams Reopening in 'Grave Time Jeopardy'
Developer Les Otten exchanged heated words with County Commissioner Rick Samson.
Saturday, December 15, 2018, NewEnglandSkiIndustry.com
"There is no chance if we don't pass the legislation," Balsams developer Les Otten told the Coos County delegation this week.
Otten is seeking legislation that would have Coos County issue a bond for the project and use subsequent tax proceeds to pay it off. Prior legislation signed by Governor Maggie Hassan in 2015 allowed for the state Business Finance Authority to back a $28 million loan for the project, however the Balsams withdrew its application over the summer.
Otten told the delegation this week, "there is no financial risk or obligation by the county" with his plan and that "I think we are in grave time jeopardy right now."
Otten also told the delegation, "I think we can only take so many nos before any project will get to the point where one has to admit that's not gonna be in this lifetime. We're not there yet."
Coos County Commissioner Rick Samson stated that he does not support the project and does not believe the county is in a position to finance a private developer.
According to the Colebrook Chronicle, after Samson spoke, Otten "stood and looked at Samson squarely in the eyes and shouted at Samson that he had been trying for a year and a half to get Samson to come out to the property so that he could meet with him face to face and attempt to answer Samson's questions or concerns." The delegation chairman pounded his gavel to restore order and Otten left the room.
The northernmost chairlift served ski area in New Hampshire, the Balsams Wilderness operated from 1966 until 2011, when the Dixville Notch Balsams Grand Resort was shuttered. While equipment has been sold and some hotel related structures demolished, the ski lodge and triple chairlifts remain in place. Les Otten has been involved in the project since 2014.

Good Afternoon Everyone
My name is Chidi Akusobi and I am one of the student organizers for this event. We want to thank you all, faculty, students, and staff, for your attendance at this National White Coat Die-In. We are joining over 1500 students from 50 medical schools in a show of solidarity with demonstrators around the country protesting the non-indictment of police officers who killed Michael Brown and Eric Garner. Both were unarmed black men.
Some may ask, why is it important for us as future physicians and dentists to take a stand against these non-indictments?
Because Black. Lives. Matter. Because the lives of Michael Brown and Eric Garner matter. Because like so many American institutions, the medical profession is not immune to racial bias.
As activists wisely call for reform in the criminal justice system, it is our responsibility as physicians and dentists in training to look within our healthcare system and to not only recognize, but also eliminate the effects of institutional racism and structural violence on patients of color. We are participating in this die-in with medical schools nationwide to demonstrate that our profession views these issues as public health problems. We are participating in this die-in because we care.
So what can our community at Harvard Medical School do to combat racism and prejudice in health care delivery?
We have three requests.
One: Insure that cultural competence and humility is a prioritized core proficiency in curriculum reform efforts.
Two: Challenge the administration both at HMS and the University at large to lend their voices in support of this issue. I want to make sure to thank Dean Oriol and Dean Hundert for their unwavering support thus far. Thank you.
Our third and final request is for students. Colleagues, I am asking that we do not run away from the manifestations of institutional racism and structural violence in our profession. Instead we must acknowledge them, educate ourselves on these issues, and finally, work to dismantle their destructive effects on patient care and healthcare delivery. This is very important work that will indeed save the lives of our future patients.
Before we start our white coat die-in, I want to remind us that Michael Brown and Eric Garner were someone's brother, son, cousin, nephew, and friend. Eric Garner was a husband and father of 3. Michael Brown was murdered just two days before he was scheduled to start college. Their lives mattered. Black. Lives. Matter. Our. Lives. Matter.
We will partake in a 15 and ½ minute die-in in memory of Michael Brown and Eric Garner. 4 and ½ minutes to symbolize the 4 and ½ hours Michael Brown's bullet ridden body was left on the street plus 11 minutes for the 11 times Eric Garner gasped "I can't breathe" while held in an illegal chokehold.
As we lie on the ground in silent protest, let us reflect on the privilege and responsibility our white coats afford us to speak out against racism, prejudice, and discrimination especially in health-care delivery. For if we are silent about these injustices and if we do not stand up and say enough is enough, (pause) then we have chosen the side of oppression.
I will end this speech with my favorite Martin Luther King quote, a quote that has always given me solace and hope, and I wish does the same for you.
"The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice"
We know that this arc will not bend on its own, so thank you, thank you HMS for your role today in bending our profession's moral arc more closely towards justice.
With that, let us commence the National White Coat Die-In.
Thank you.

BAGHDAD/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Iraqi army's failure to recapture the country's largest oil refinery from Islamic State after 15 months of fighting is calling into question the government's plans to retake the northern city of Mosul from the jihadists.
Iraq's military has been trying to build momentum at the Baiji refinery and in Anbar province in the west before attempting to seize Mosul, the biggest prize in the war against the ultra-hardine Sunni group.
Officials say the army should secure gains in those areas before setting its sights on Mosul, the largest city in the north. Advances in Anbar's vast desert terrain since the provincial capital Ramadi fell in May have progressed fitfully.
Taking the refinery and the nearby town of Baiji would boost the morale of the army as it tackles the gravest security threat since the fall of Saddam Hussein in 2003.
The military, plagued by corruption, nearly collapsed twice in the past year despite more than $20 billion in U.S. training.
Baiji, 190 km (120 miles) north of Baghdad, has repeatedly changed hands since it was captured by the militants in a lightning advance through Sunni Muslim provinces last year.
Government forces and their Shi'ite militia allies, backed by U.S.-led air strikes, are facing Islamic State snipers, suicide bombers and roadside explosives in the area.
"The liberation of Mosul will have to be done by the Iraqi army and local tribes ... the Iraqi army will come from the south and Baiji is the first stumbling block as long as Daesh (Islamic State) is lodged there," said Joost Hiltermann, programme director for the Middle East and North Africa at the International Crisis Group.
Islamic State has been withdrawing exhausted fighters from Baiji and replacing them with fresh forces from the north via the towns of Hawija and Sharqat, a tribal leader said.
The group, which declared a caliphate last year stretching across the border into Syria, continues to dispatch reinforcements despite losing about 500 fighters between mid-July and early September, a U.S. official told Reuters on the condition of anonymity.
"We have seen ISIL (Islamic State) continue to put a large amount of reinforcements into that fight, and they're paying a heavy price for it," Marine Corps Brigadier General Kevin Killea, chief of staff of the U.S.-led coalition operations, told Pentagon reporters earlier this month.
The group's fighters there are estimated between the high dozens and low hundreds, according to Baiji mayor Mahmoud al-Jabouri and a source in the Iraqi army's command centre for Salahuddin province where the town is located.
The insurgents plant homemade explosive devices in houses and on roadsides, bogging down their enemies.
They have erected barricades on streets and posted snipers and machine gunners in houses and other tall buildings in some central districts they control, Jabouri said.
The militants detonate car bombs and clash with government forces without making significant advances on the ground.
Security forces have cut a supply line from the west, but Islamic State maintains routes between northern and eastern areas of Baiji to points further north, the military source said.
That allows it to undermine security forces at the refinery and prevent them from opening the main route through Baiji, critical for sending troops and supplies to any attempt to retake Mosul.
Complex tribal dynamics and oil wealth from the refinery have complicated government attempts to wrest control of Baiji from insurgents since the U.S. invasion in 2003, said Michael Knights, an Iraq expert at the Washington Institute think-tank.
"Nobody ever takes Baiji," he said. "It was out of bounds to multinational forces in Iraq the whole time. It was never liberated, it was never surged."
Knights said Baiji's fragmented tribes make it difficult to forge consensus among local leaders, while insurgents have used money from refining and smuggling oil to co-opt the local population.
Around 1,500 militia fighters arrived earlier this month to begin fortifying southern and western parts of Baiji with trenches and barriers, Jabouri and the military source said.
The fighters, including some from a group that includes Iraqi Shi'ite militias who have fought alongside troops loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, supplement 6,000 regular forces.
Iraqi counter-terrorism forces control southern and western districts of the town, while federal police hold some areas in the north, the military source said.
Other militia fighters, under the banner of government-run Hashid Shaabi or Popular Mobilisation Forces, also operate in some eastern neighbourhoods, the military source said.
A second U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity, described the situation as static, with Iraqi security forces controlling about 20 percent of both the refinery and the town and the rest of the area either contested or under Islamic State control. Reuters could not independently verify those estimates.
Spokesman Ahmed al-Asadi said the Hashid fighters numbered in the thousands.
"Throughout the past year, we have learned that in any fighting position the army alone cannot win and the Hashid alone cannot win," said Asadi.
However, that cooperation is threatened by regional rivalries on the battlefield and in Baghdad politics.
Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi faces resistance to the integration of the Hashid into the regular security forces and to reforms that would sideline politicians with ties to Iranian-backed militias.
Iraqi officials have said Shi'ite militias are reluctant to give up power amassed with Iranian backing, making it difficult to formulate unified battlefield strategy.
In addition, Hashid elements trained by Tehran oppose any U.S. military role in the battle against Islamic State.
Washington and Tehran are competing for influence in Baghdad but should not allow that rivalry to benefit Islamic State, said Hiltermann of the International Crisis Group.
"They have to share the battlefield and that can lead to lack of coordination and setbacks."

EDIFON featuring RIFF RAPH, "Tell Me"
I wrote about the New Jersey-based singer Edifon last year when he introduced me to his single "Let Go" and its infectious hook with low key charm. With his new single "Tell Me" he has amped up the charm with a positive message and a laid back vibe, complemented by Riff Raph's rap break. "Tell Me" should really be subtitled "What Makes You Beautiful" if not for confusion with the One Direction song. Anyone who knows about self-appreciation and self-worth will enjoy Edifon's message and can share it with others who don't feel that way. The singer has also upped the ante with pop-crossover flavour that attracts listeners to singers like Jason Derulo, so you can easily picture hearing it on the radio. Check out a snipped of "Tell Me" above, but I think you're gonna like it enough to pick up the full song on iTunes.

No Joy Are the Opposite
Published Apr 22, 2013Jasamine White-Gluz isn't really interested in reading a review of her band No Joy's new album, Wait to Pleasure. A former music writer herself (including for Exclaim!), White-Gluz feels her band is often the victim of lazy journalism.
"I do I find it hilarious when people literally just copy and paste information from another blog," she says. "If these folks went to the source instead of another blog they would see how to spell my name or that there aren't two singers in this band. But really, I am just surprised anyone wants to write about our boring band."
She's either humble or just plain wrong because No Joy are hardly boring. In fact, they're pretty ace. Yes, they recall some noise pop and shoegaze bands they're constantly compared to, but the Montreal trio are no tribute act. They like noise, they like layering tracks, but you won't mistake them for any other band.
Wait to Pleasure has grown leaps and bounds from their debut, Ghost Blonde, and even last year's Negaverse EP. Look no further than the ethereal "Lunar Phobia" to hear the remarkable difference. "This was probably the most excessive song we have," says White-Gluz. "Bongos? Sure! Wood block? Yes! There's still a lot of feedback and noise, but we tried to use it differently."
Like kids in a candy shop, White-Gluz, Laura Lloyd and Garland Hastings entered a proper studio with producer Jorge Elbrecht and no shortage of gear to throw at the wall. "It was really the best creative experience I've ever had. Working with a producer and a team was the greatest perk. We always recorded our stuff ourselves so I've never had anyone get me drunk and force me to sing one line of a song over and over and over until it was pitch perfect."

Using up apples one blog post at a time!
This is my favourite sauce so far. Its very sweet, not savoury which I was expecting, but that probably reflect how sweet and juicy these apples are and the sweetness of the wine.
Although it is a stuffing all the recipes for donuts, cakes and strudels I used it as a pancake topping. I think it is a flexible sauce.
The next dishes are made from apple. Peel the apple, slice it into little pieces, put them into a clean pan, add some wine, then some black pepper and ginger, then cook it. Do what I told you before, you can use this for stuffing cakes or strudels. The Prince of Transylvania's Court Cookbook (Hungary, 16th c.)
- 4 cups of apples, peeled, cored, and roughly chopped
- 2 cups wine
- 1 tsp Black pepper fresh ground, (or more)
- 1 slice of dried ginger
- Combine ingredients in sauce pan and bring to boil. Cover and reduce heat and simmer until apples fall apart.
- Remove ginger slice and then use a potato masher to smooth out sauce.
- Serve in donuts, strudels, or on cake.

In his final timed workout before the Preakness Stakes (G1), Royal Mo suffered a devastating injury. Hall of Fame jockey Gary Stevens had flown in from Southern California to ride Royal Mo and he was the one who initially heard a loud "pop" during their workout.
"Initially I thought he just overreached and hit himself, but then there was a loud pop," said Stevens.
"Unfortunately, when he hit the ground next, I knew he didn't hit himself. He was just towing me around there, having a brilliant work. Then I heard it coming out of the turn. He looked after me and I looked after him."
Once he pulled Royal Mo up, Stevens jumped off the colt around the 3/16 pole at Pimlico. Trainer John Shirreffs quickly darted out towards them from the grandstand. Bandages and a splint were put on on Royal Mo, who was then loaded onto an equine ambulance.
"He was in distress, but they had a good bandage on him and probably saved him," said Stevens.
Tests were taken at Pimlico stakes barn, where x-rays revealed a "fracture of the right-front sesamoid."
"There isn't any other damage, so that's a very good thing for him, for his life after racing," said Shirreffs. "It's very difficult. There were a lot of hopes and dreams with Royal Mo from Mr. and Mrs. Moss and my wife, Dottie. They were all excited to see him run, so they're obviously devastated."
Royal Mo was 2-2-1 and headed into the Preakness Stakes.

STYLE - 5 Fashion Trends We're Looking Forward To In SS19
Another fashion season has been and almost gone, and in the fashion industry, that means only one thing – the hype is all around next season. Before FW18 has had time to say goodbye, we're already eyeing up the new trends for SS19, and what we'll be on the lookout for. Because, well, do we need an excuse?
Whilst previous seasons had us questioning practicality and wearability, SS19 seems to be everything we've been longing for. Of course, there are some outrageous outfits that took the catwalks, but our favorite designers seem to have got the balance just right. We whinge and we moan about ridiculous catwalk trends, but let's get onto the positives. We can actually see ourselves rocking these trends, even in a more everyday Rebel kinda way.
If there's another thing we can take from these catwalk trends and into our homes, it's embracing the vitality and innovation that these shows create. If there's one rule to being a Rebel, it's to be vivacious in our choices – especially when it comes to style.
1. Beige
Via Vogue UK
Let's be honest, we already loved beige – neutrals somehow add so much depth into our outfits, and they compliment all skin tones. It just so looks so Scandi-inspired and chic. Burberry has always made the shade look classy, and other brands jumped on the bandwagon such as Dior and Kenzo. So maybe a beige a-line maxi skirt is impractical in the office – but why not adapt it to your own style? For an androgynous look, beige cropped trousers will add a classy pop of brightness with a pair of black pointed boots. Alternatively, you could wear a beige pleated skirt that would dazzle on sun-kissed and darker skin tones.
2. Billowing Sleeves
Via Financial Times
There is something so eye-catching about a puff or a fluted sleeve. It makes your outfit that more dramatic. It can even add impact to your favorite pair of jeans. Admittedly, they're awkward to wear jackets with, but we're (naively) hoping that it'll soon be too warm for a jacket anyway! Moral of the story – the more extra, the better!
3. Ties
Via Vogue UK
Ties are so versatile – not only can they be worn around your neck, but you can also use the, to customize your bag or wear as a belt. A bold print is perfect for wearing with your chicest, monochrome outfit. It's thanks to the little details like this that you'll elevate your outfits and give them that expensive, lux touch without breaking the bank. Who doesn't love a bit of Parisian chic now and then?
4. Delicious Shades
Via Financial Times
Neutral may be one of the trends for SS19, but it doesn't mean you can't rock any brights. We love vibrant shades that will just pop! The bold tailoring from Sies Marjan was just eye-wateringly delicious. We'll admit that wearing bold colors top and bottom is a bit hit or miss – we can either look like we've walked off the catwalk or straight out of an ice cream truck – but opt for separates if you wanna be a little more subtle with your styling. Palazzo pants in bright blueberry will look pricey with a crisp white blouse and pointed heels and will make your legs look like they go on for daaa-aaays!
5. Big Bows
Via Vogue UK
Bows add a feminine touch to your outfit, even when it's just an oversized sweater and mom jeans. Use it as a way to cinch in your figure and give you the perfect hourglass figure or add it as a bit of interest to your outfit. Little features like these will enhance the simplest of looks and make them look a lot more adventurous – because sometimes, though we hate to admit it, we don't want to have to put too much thought into our outfit. We won't tell if you don't!
What trend are you most looking forward to in SS19? What are you planning to experiment with during the season ahead? Be sure to tag us in your Rebel Street Style photos, ladies!

The Top 12 PC Settings in Windows 8.1 You Should Know — www.howtogeek.com — Readability: "Since Windows 8.1 has launched, a lot that has changed. Not so much with the Control Panel, but the Metro-themed "PC settings" that have definitely taken on more and more responsibilities; many control panels have finally been rolled into the PC settings, and we can probably expect that trend to continue as Microsoft introduces new versions of Windows 8."

In 1541 John Incent, Dean of St Paul's, was granted a Licence by Henry VIII to found a school in Berkhamsted, Incent's home town.
Until the end of the nineteenth Century Berkhamsted School served as a grammar school for a small number of boys from the town but over the last century it has developed into a school of significance.
In 1888 the foundation was extended by the establishment of Berkhamsted School for Girls.
In 1912, Heatherton House School for girls was founded in Amersham, Buckinghamshire.
In 1996, these two schools and Berkhamsted Preparatory School (formed from Berkhamsted Preparatory School for Boys, which was linked to Berkhamsted School and The Beeches Girls' Junior School, part of Berkhamsted School for Girls) formalised their partnership, under the name Berkhamsted Collegiate School, offering the highest quality education to pupils from ages three to 19.
The co-educational Berkhamsted Preparatory School opened on its current site in Kings Road in 1998.
In December 2008, the School's name reverted to Berkhamsted School to reflect its historical roots.
In 2011, Berkhamsted School merged with Heatherton House School, a preparatory school for girls aged three to 11 in Amersham, to form the Berkhamsted Schools Group, and in May 2012, the Group acquired Haresfoot School, which became Berkhamsted Pre-Preparatory School for children aged three to seven. The existing Preparatory School site was adapted to offer focused Key Stage Two education for children from the ages of seven to 11.
The Berkhamsted School's foundation is celebrated annually in October on Founder's Day, when a service is held in St Peter's Church, the parish Church of Berkhamsted.
Berkhamsted Schools Group Patron is Her Majesty The Queen.
The original motto of Berkhamsted School was virtus laudata crescit, Latin for 'greatness increases with praise', establishing the ideology on which the school is based.
The motto of Berkhamsted School for Girls was festina lente, meaning 'hurry slowly', similar to the contemporary phrase 'more haste less speed'.

Sedro-Woolley, WA – A Sedro-Woolley man who had been fishing on the Skagit River at the "pipeline hole," just up from the Steelhead Club near Fruitdale and River Roads was reported as a missing or overdue person to local authorities.
A friend of the man, David Anderson posted on Social Media around 9 a.m. on May 10th, that he was looking for help from the community in locating his missing friend, Steve Adams. Anderson posted "Looking for a lost fishing buddy on the Pipeline hole on the Skagit River, just up from the Steelhead Club. Any help would be appreciated. On site now, boots in the brush and boats on the river. Message me if you have any info or are headed out to help search. Please share and help us find our friend."
The Skagit County Sheriff's Office requested a helicopter crew with the United States Customs and Border Protection. The crew was called in to assist in an aerial search of the river for the missing man. The crew was able to locate a man's body, believed to be Adams, in the Skagit River, not far from where he had last been fishing.
The body was recovered from the Skagit River and turned over to the Skagit County Coroner's Office for positive identification and to investigate the cause and manner of death.
Anderson Posted an update on Social media stating "Steve has been found and the search called off. No further details will be posted. Thank you to SCSO, Sedro PD, Upper Skagit, Skagit Breaking and the community for all your help."

Irina Burciaga Moves of change Being born in Mexico City, moved with my family to the Mexican Caribbean when I was 9 years old, and based in Germany for nearly eight years made me realize I tend to take my time to adapt. New cultures, food, rules, marriage, giving birth, and even the weather change you in very unexpected ways. From computer technician to teaching Computer Science in high schools to content marketing I started to work for my father at my tender 17. I was on charge of helping to keep desktops and all their accessories free of trash, keep their software updated, keep clients at bay, and even operate different accounting software, which proved that I was in no way a good fit for the bookkeeping world. During this time a copy of Photoshop came to me (long before the CS series started), and right there I knew the graphic world was my call (at least as a hobby.) I could literally spend entire days without sleep, working my way through Photoshop. After some months of working for my father at the same time I was teaching Computer Science in a private academy, and studying my Informatics career, I finally cut the umbilical cord and devoted the rest of my professional career in Mexico to teach English (which I totally learned on my own), Computer's Theory, programming (fancy called "coding" these days), Operating Systems Theory, Windows, Networks, and Photoshop and CorelDraw. But it turned out I started craving to have my own business, that's when I tried several ideas, such as making my own line of ice creams (lots of hard work!), becoming a teacher of Spanish and English as a second language (way too expensive and I was done teaching.) Then I met hubby, had my first child, moved to Germany, had my last baby, learned German and tried to build an online empire, just to have it as the biggest flop in my life. The project was about teaching people how to make a kind of baby gift called "diaper cakes" or "nappy cakes", but as inexperienced as I was, I never give a serious thought about how to monetize it, so I ended up having a small audience, working more than in a corporate job, and earning €0,00! Needles to say I ditch the project, but the skills of building a website from scratch (using SBI! and WordPress), product photography (which I hate), the basics of SEO, photo retouching and writing tutorials stuck as my wins. Then I thought about becoming a VA and that's when I got the rare opportunity to help build an online resource for new VAs, made by VAs, aka the VA Cafe Online, and it is thanks to this work that I found out I could actually help business owners by creating content that attracts the clients they want. Jessi Ghidoni Hi, I'm Jessi, a hard-working mother living in beautiful British Columbia, Canada. I am an emerging virtual assistant with a keen eye for detail. I'm a big people person, good listener and love learning new things. I focus my time on graphic design. I really love working with images, making a page appealing to the eye & capturing attention. I also have a demonstrated history of creating landing pages through WordPress, setting up MailChimp from scratch, and organizing posts through Instagram. I have always worked in the service industry, whether it be Dental Assisting or Lifeguarding and Swim Instruction. I have strong communication skills and always strive to give 100% in every job, no matter how small. I am eager to assist, learn and I'm looking forward to helping you with the details you just don't have the time for. When I'm not working I'm spending time with my husband and children, most likely, outdoors! Lisa Breitbach I am Lisa Breitbach and I am the owner of HumanVA.

I occasionally use a Kindle for reading, but my first choice is always to hold a real, old fashioned book in my hands, turn the pages manually and sometimes catch a whiff of printer's ink. Same with newspapers and magazines. The Kindle has it's one or two advantages, but most of the time the more comfortable choice for me is the paper version. Early on Tuesday I finished reading Haruki Murakami's new book, 1Q84. Dazzling in its content and achievement, physically it was one of the most difficult books to read of my life. 2.9 pounds with 944 pages and measuring 9.4 x 6.3 x 2 inches, for all its elegant design, Knopf's English version is nowhere near a comfortable handful. The original Japanese version is in three separate volumes comfortable to hold and read without distracting thoughts of heaviness and strained wrists. Underneath a fascination with the story I kept wishing I could read the book on my Kindle.
In a word, 1Q84 is Haruki Murakami's masterpiece. Halfway through the book it occurred to me that it might well be the work that one day brings the number of Japanese Nobel laureates to three. 1Q84 is the crown jewel in an already impressive body of work from Murakami, a huge and multilayered work showing off his talents like never before. The book has everything that makes a reader turn pages, unable to pull away from the characters, the story or its complex parallel worlds.
Don't look for sushi, the Ginza, Mt Fuji and sake in 1Q84. Instead it is a story filled with a mosaic of references to Sonny & Cher, Isak Dinesen, Faye Dunaway, Marcel Proust and a dozen others played against a soundtrack by Leoš Janáček and Duke Ellington. Characters are as likely to raise the question of a line from Chekhov as they are the psychology of Carl Jung. The variety and color of Murakami's comparisons and allusions are one of the joys of 1Q84, and ultimately the breadth of sophistication and complexity is breathtaking. Yet beneath all that is a clear and simple prose style that is never for a moment obscure or pretentious.
A young woman named Aomame—a trainer at a sports club who moonlights as a skilled assassin—sets the story in motion on an April afternoon in 1984 when she exits a taxi on a congested elevated highway in central Tokyo and climbs to street level down an emergency staircase. In the time it takes her to reach the street, the reality of her world makes a subtle shift. She suddenly is able to name unfamiliar music, policemen wear different uniforms and carry a different type of gun and news reports speak of events never heard of. Most ominous of all are the two moons hanging over Tokyo. Aomame calls this new world 1Q84, the Q standing for 'question.' Gradually we begin to see that Aomame's defining problem is not her dubious profession, but a loneliness that began in childhood, an emptiness broken only once momentarily by fleeting contact with a boy named Tengo Kawana, a fifth grade classmate. That time is deeply etched in memory and Aomame is certain they are destined to meet again.
The novel's chapters alternate between Tengo and Aomame and as the plot progresses, events draw the two together. Tengo is a math teacher-aspiring novelist and through an editor he knows, is encouraged to rewrite a first novel by a high school girl, a story called Air Chrysalis that appears on the surface to be a fantasy. It turns out that the story is not fantasy at all but the true experiences of the girl in a secret religious cult. Her own father is the Leader and with her escape from the cult brings powerful forces into play that make doubtful a reunion of Aomame and Tengo. Aomame too has a connection with Leader that puts her on a perilous road.
Throughout this long novel the reader never for a moment loses sight of Aomame and Tengo as flesh and blood characters whose fears and dreams fuel our drive to keep turning pages. Our connection to these two is only enhanced by the appearance of a third horribly effective character named Ushikawa. To these rich characterizations add Murakami's skill in imbuing his story with suspense worthy of John le Carré.
In an earlier book titled Underground, Murakami left readers with the promise of a future fictional story on the subject of cults. 1Q84 is that story. Two cults play a part, one a Christian sect known as the Society of Witnesses, whose proselytizing members lead lives of somber tunnel vision devoted to God. The second cult is remindful of the dangerous Aum Shinrikyo group of the early 80s. Murakami calls his cult Sakigake, translating as "forerunner" or "precursor." His main character in 1Q84 rejected the Christian sect of her family and as an adult is sought after by henchmen of the Sakigake cult. Much of Aomame's sojourn in the world of two moons is a tense dodge down dangerous highways.
If Haruki Murakami is a stranger to your bookshelves, now is definitely the time to reach out and sample the magic of his fiction. It is abundantly clear only two weeks after an English language release of 1Q84 that this is one that will be talked about right on through a long list of nominations and awards, continuing for a long time to come.

After getting ourselves prepared we actually were able to find some good solutions in the meeting and Elder Alonso was pretty pleased with everything we presented and talked about. Elder Merrill and I had found them back in July but I never heard anything new about them. I am a submassive girl and I am looking to serve a strong dominant man.

Increasingly, builders are having to address indoor air quality along with energy efficiency. Some in the industry are leading the way.
BILL HAYWARD DIDN'T FEEL GOOD. He was irritable, fatigued and had trouble focusing. His family wasn't right either: his wife suffered constant sinus infections, and their young children were getting one cold after another.
They had moved into their Central California home one year before. When first looking at the house, Hayward had noticed a "damp cement" odor downstairs.
"It bothered me. I knew enough about green building to know about mold," says Hayward, who is president and CEO of Hayward Lumber, a building materials company which serves Central California. The inspector told him not to worry about it, since he "wasn't going to be living in the crawlspace."
But a little over a year later, after the kids had fallen ill once again, the family's doctor told them they needed to move out: their home was sick, and it was making its occupants sick, too. Though leaving the house was difficult, the family's health began to improve almost immediately. Hayward began an in-depth investigation of high-performance building systems.

"I started hearing stories of people who live in Passive Houses who said they threw away their inhalers after moving in," he says. These homes typically weren't just energy efficient, but also held high standards for non-toxic materials.
Hayward learned that unsealed basements and crawlspaces are common sources for pollutants and allergens, and that nearly half of the air inside a home can be pulled up from those areas. He consulted experts, including Carl Grimes and Joe Lstiburek, and created a special department to research and analyze how homes were built, with the goal of developing a non-prescriptive, goal-based methodology for creating healthier buildings.
"We wanted it to be easy for builders to understand and implement," says Hayward.
At its heart, the methodology consists of just four principles, and is applicable in all climate zones and for retrofits as well as new homes:
Continuous fresh air. Install a balanced mechanical system that filters incoming air, distributes it throughout the house and ejects stale air and moisture.
Insulation and air sealing. Install adequate insulation to keep temperatures from fluctuating. Combine this with proper and thorough air sealing to keep moisture from penetrating cavities in the roof and walls. Sealing crawl spaces is essential, so that contaminants are not pulled into the house from exposed damp soil.
Non-toxic materials. Reduce or eliminate materials and products that emit potentially harmful chemicals, both during and after construction.
Cleanable surfaces. Eliminate carpets and other materials which harbor allergens and pollutants, or clean them regularly and properly. Bedding should also be cleaned regularly.
In 2013, the Indoor Environment Division of the U.S. EPA released a report called Moisture Control Guidance for Building Design, Construction and Maintenance. In an early section on the health effects of moisture, the guide cited studies by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the EPA, which built on recommendations from a special committee of experts, including representatives from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
"This was a game changer," says Hayward. "The language changed from, 'When a building gets wet, sometimes people get sick, but only those with compromised immune systems and the elderly' to 'When buildings get moist, people get sick, period.'" In Hayward's view, the EPA also placed the burden of responsibility for a building's health squarely on the shoulders of builders—even if it had been poorly designed.
With that in mind, Hayward has created several tools for builders, including resources within Hayward lumber that can help them optimize buildings for health. A special website helps builders and architects communicate with clients, which includes video testimonials and easy-to-understand information comparing healthy and "sick" homes.
"If builders can convince homeowners they want these upgrades, they'll have fewer call-backs due to moisture problems," says Hayward. "We've moved from code compliance to Best Building Practices."
Every material in the Hayward family's new home was carefully researched and documented.
Hayward decided to go a step further and build a living example of a healthy home for his family in Carmel, California. Over 2,000 hours went into researching and vetting every single material, and led to the development of the Hayward Healthy Home Permitted Products List. (The idea is similar to products and materials that have been vetted for the Living Building Challenge's Red List.) Hayward now provides the list to his customer base.
Some materials proved challenging; for instance, no good substitute exists for pressure-treated wood, which did not make the Permitted Products List. Hayward relates stories of builders who claim they can't be onsite when pressure-treated lumber is delivered, as too much exposure has sensitized them to the point where they feel ill just being around it.
Hayward's solution was to encapsulate the lumber with non-toxic paint. He believes this treatment, combined with proper air-sealing and ventilation, is an acceptable solution for basements.
During construction, Hayward noticed his processing and speech became affected when he entered enclosed spaces, such as the mechanical room. He believes the culprit was construction dust.
"Construction dust holds the history of the house," he says. He installed air scrubbers while the house was being built; before moving in he used leaf blowers to dislodge dust from every surface, then cleaned them with vacuums equipped with HEPA filters.
Once the house was finished, Hayward closed it up for 24 hours before initiating a week of indoor air quality testing. "The tests revealed the presence of chemicals that would not have been predicted by the MSDS," says Hayward. Concentrations went down once the HRV was switched on. He plans to re-test after 90 days.
Thanks to active intervention, the Haywards' children are recovering from the physical and neurological impacts of living in a sick house. Bill Hayward describes himself as "more sensitive" now.
"That's another reason I created the website," says Hawyard, who tells his family's story in a video on the site. "It helps normalize people's experiences."

In another part of the country, a Chicago-based builder is taking responsibility for indoor environments. Evolutionary Home Builders (formerly Weiss Building & Development) specializes in Passive Houses and can boast some impressive accomplishments, including Chicago's first certified Passive House and the first Department of Energy Challenge Home in Illinois.
"I've always been interested in health, and I knew I was going to be a builder," says founder Brandon Weiss, a third-generation builder. He played professional basketball in Europe before starting his company, which exposed him to progressive green building techniques, including Passive House projects. A case study comparing two buildings in Portland, Oregon—one healthy, one "sick"—further piqued his interest in building science. He was drawn to Passive House because it's a performance-driven certification based on building science. In particular, Passive Houses demonstrate how energy-efficient, air-tight buildings combined with precise mechanical ventilation and non-toxic materials can create excellent indoor air quality.
Walls in an EHB home achieve high R-values and minimize thermal bridging.
For Weiss, indoor air quality starts with building a super-efficient envelope, which includes advanced framing and minimal thermal bridging. R-values for walls typically reach R-40, with one-third of the R-value represented by continuous exterior insulation.
"The exterior insulation functions as an air barrier and reduces condensation," says Weiss. To complete the envelope, he prefers European windows for the quality of their hardware and energy performance.
Even if the home is not to be an officially certified Passive House, EHB aims for the standard of 0.6 air changes per hour (ACH). An energy recovery ventilator (ERV) or heat recovery ventilator (HRV) controls the cycling of air.
"With an ERV, air is completely balanced, and it's twice filtered," says Weiss. The units work in tandem with HVAC equipment to achieve both superior energy efficiency and indoor air quality. For example, the Adaptation Home, a Zero Energy Ready Home built in Oak Park, Illinois, features a Zehnder 550 ERV and Daikin ducted mini-splits. It has also earned EPA Indoor airPlus certification.
. Windows from European manufacturer Zola help EHB achieve superior envelopes; careful attention to detail during installation ensures the envelope keeps performing over the years.
Evolutionary Home Builders (EHB) always takes care to use non-toxic materials, going beyond low- or low-VOC paints and adhesives. Weiss is currently involved in a Living Building Challenge project, which is poised to be the first new residence in the area to be certified under the rigorous program. The Challenge requires that every material be vetted for compliance with the Red List; materials and products cannot contain any of 14 "worst-in-class" chemicals and compounds, including PVC and formaldehyde. But procuring information about materials isn't always easy.
"We have to get disclosures from the manufacturers," says Weiss. "It's been an eye-opening experience." He believes that the Declare program, an initiative set forth by the International Living Future Institute, which houses the Living Building Challenge, will make veting materials easier for designers and builders, while at the same time urging manufacturers toward greater transparency.
Weiss' company conducts thermal imaging and blower door tests to ensure tight envelopes. In addition, EHB backs up its health claims with indoor air quality testing and their workmanship with a 15-year warranty.
The third-party IAQ testing occurs just prior to occupancy and includes total VOCs, formaldehyde and particulates. Though this is standard practice for EHB, Weiss notes that the latest version of LEED awards a point for such testing, pointing to a greater emphasis on IAQ in the industry.
The 15-year "building science" warranty guarantees against any compromise in the envelope or structure—leaky windows, for instance.
"We try to future-proof our homes," says Weiss. "That way, we will still be performing to the highest standards, even as codes become stricter."
Circuit-by-circuit energy monitoring helps raise awareness of energy consumption, and also provides feedback that something might not be working properly. Carbon monoxide, temperature and relative humidity sensors are also installed throughout the home. Finally, EHB walks clients through the project after completion and provides them with a Homeowner's Manual.
"If they don't know how to maintain the home, it won't function as well as it could," says Weiss.
