Skunk Works, Ben R. Rich and Leo Janos. Boston: Little, Brown, and Company, 1994.
Summary: The story of Lockheed's secret "Skunk Works" operation that produced innovative planes and other products for the military including the U-2, the SR-71 Blackbird, and the F-117 Stealth fighter.
The term "skunk works" has become common parlance in the business and technical worlds for a group within an organization given a high degree of autonomy and freedom from bureaucratic control to work on advanced or secret projects. The development of the original Apple Macintosh computer is an example of a "skunk works" project. This book is the story of the original Skunk Works, a top secret operation with Lockheed responsible for building some of the most cutting-edge and innovative military aircraft. Ben Rich was the second boss over the Skunk Works, mentored under the legendary (and formidable) Clarence "Kelly" Johnson.
The book opens with the first test flight of the F-117, the first real stealth fighter, and the first plane built under Rich's leadership after he took over from Kelly Johnson in 1975. He describes the process of winning the contract to develop the plane, and the incredible engineering work to make the plane practically invisible to enemy radar through a combination of flat surfaces and absorptive materials. One of the biggest problems turned out to be designing a canopy that would deflect radar while being able to be seen out of. Otherwise, the pilot's head actually had a bigger radar profile than the plane! The biggest test of the plane was the bombing mission the first night of Operation Desert Storm, against heavily defended Baghdad, in which key command and control facilities, and communication facilities were taken out under heavy anti-aircraft fire without a single plane being lost, not only that night but throughout the conflict.
This was just one in a long line of innovative planes designed by the Skunk Works. Rich tells the story of how Kelly Johnson formed this secret operation within Lockheed in 1943 to develop a jet fighter (the P-80) to counter German development of similar technology. Rich describes his own initiation into the Skunk Works as a thermodynamicist brought on to help with the inlet design on the F-104 Starfighter, the first supersonic jet fighter. He was unsure how long he would work there.
Rich made the grade and goes on in the book to narrate the histories of two of the most innovative planes designed under Kelly Johnson's leadership, the U-2 and the SR-71, both involved in overflights over the Soviet Union and other countries. The U-2 was designed to fly at 70,000 feet, with wings two-thirds as long as the fuselage which entailed special design challenges. It was put into use on overflights over the Soviet Union in 1956, securing critical intelligence on nuclear and conventional military capabilities until Gary Powers was shot down in 1960 (they actually thought they would only get two years of overflights in before this happened). Later it was used over Cuba, and the remarkable fact is that this plane is still in use, having gone through its latest upgrade in 2012.
Rich and his fellow engineers faced a whole different set of engineering challenges in designing the SR-71 Blackbird, capable of sustained Mach 3.2 speeds and flight at over 80,000 feet while taking crystal clear pictures. The plane still holds sustained speed records that have not been surpassed. It was the first titanium-bodied plane, used a special inlet cone design to force air into the engine at high altitudes, and one of the first to use stealth technology to reduce radar cross-sections.
The book mixes Rich's narrative with "testimonials" from pilots who flew the planes, defense secretaries like Bill Perry, and national security figures like Zbigniew Brzezinski. More than simply a narrative of building innovative aircraft (and even a stealth ship), it is a narrative of what it was like to work under Kelly Johnson and how he shaped the Skunk Works. One of the most significant contributions Johnson made, referenced by many texts on "skunk works" was Kelly's 14 Rules, that articulated the requirements of a top secret, lean, innovative, cost-effective organization free of bureaucratic control that inflates costs, bogs down development and stifles creativity. One of the rules also established alternative compensation policies that compensated for performance rather than number of reports.
Kelly was a formidable leader. He did not suffer fools gladly, losing him some contracts. He would not build a plane he didn't believe in. He had zero tolerance for pretense. He had an amazing knowledge of every aspect of aviation engineering. He insisted that engineers work in close proximity to the shop floor. Rich speculates that such a leader probably would not be possible in his own era.
Rich's concluding chapter, "Drawing the Right Conclusions" outlines his own ideas for more sensible procurement policies throughout the defense industry. He anticipates the widespread use of drones. I don't know enough to determine whether any of his idea have been adopted, but they make sense if one wants both to control costs, and maintain a technological edge in weaponry.
It is fascinating to me that most of the applications of "skunk works" ideas have been in the technology world. I'm curious about the application of these ideas to the non-profit world, coming up with innovative ways to deliver services that better people's lives. Often the challenge here is money to fund something outside of line management or support services, and satisfying funding entities that such an operation is not frivolous. My hunch is that there is a need for clear mission and bench marks, leadership that can manage lightly yet effectively a talented group of people, and good bridges back into the rest of the organization to test and implement ideas.
All that said, Rich has given us a fascinating narrative of the original Skunk Works, fascinating both for anyone interested in military aviation, and instructive for those wanting to learn key principles for skunk works-type operations.

How We Make Sauerkraut
We don't make sauerkraut every year but this year we had to because of all the cabbages that decided to grow.
For this process we have a ceramic crock that Ernie's mom used. It is a large high – sided pot really, that was made in Medicine Hat Alberta, Canada. Ernie's parents were given this crock in 1967 by neighbours but we really don't know how old it is.
For things like that I just call them "vintage".
This year we used 18 heads of cabbage for sauerkraut. We also used some of our own onions and of course, coarse salt.
Sauerkraut is so simple. And so tasty. And good for you. So we have decided to make more of an effort to use what we make. Often we forget that we have it, and it gets left over from year to year. This year though I think we have run out so our crock full will definitely get eaten.
Many of you already make this food but I will go over it again anyway because you can do it with almost any container, just on you counter.
Chop or coarsely grate (we grate) the cabbage into the container to about 2 inches or 5 centimetres. Add some onion and the appropriate amount of pickling salt. For us it was 2 tablespoons per layer of cabbage.
Then we filled the container about 3/4 full. As he went along, Ernie would squish the cabbage in his hands to get the juices out.
Once done filling the crock a clean pail full of water was used to weigh down the cabbage to stay underneath the liquid. Ernie cut two pieces of pine board to fit on top of the cabbage inside the crock that the pail sits on.
Check out my video below to see all the steps.
In the past, Ernie's mom used to use a board similar to what we use, only she weighed it down with a big rock that they had found here in the yard. I opted for the pail although I'm sure there are many things that could be used to do this job.
Ernie kept tasting the cabbage to check it for sourness over the next two weeks or so. Once it reached what he figured was ready, he squeezed the liquid out by hand and packaged it for freezing.
Not difficult to do at all, and so very good for you.
Make Homemade Iced Cream
I found a method of making iced cream on Facebook of all places. You make it with plastic bags, ice and a lot of arm strength. Now I am not one for using plastic much as you may know, but since we have so many in the "junk" storage from previous use, I thought why not reuse some for this project.
We have three ice cube trays and I made the ice myself that you need for this. We also have a vintage iced cream maker but decided to give both methods a try.
Make It
There are only four ingredients: 1/2 cup of milk, 1/2 cup of cream, 2 tblsp, sugar and a dash of vanilla. I doubled this for our second try and quadrupled it when we figured out what we were doing and use my own method as you will see below.
To make the iced cream you put the ingredients in a zip top bag. You then prepare another larger bag with lots of ice and salt and place the bagged ingredients inside the bag of ice Shake it for ten minutes. Your hands will get cold. We used a tea towel wrapped around our hands to prevent this.
We tried doing this method twice. The first time I accidentally, poured the iced cream out of the plastic bag into a bowl along with some of the salty water from the bag of ice. Ernie ate it anyway.
The second time was better and better tasting. But it was still labour intensive.
The iced cream maker was a no go as the centre metal container was rusted inside.
My Method
At some point during this iced cream making day, I realized that I have been making an iced coffee recipe for years with the same ingredients as iced cream – except the coffee. I make the drink in a glass loaf pan and turn it into an iced drink in the freezer. To keep the drink smooth and prevent crystalization, you need to keep stirring it. The main thing is to not let it freeze overnight. I figured out how to make this iced coffee recipe by trial and error.
Because the ingredients are basically the same, I decided to try to make regular iced cream this way as well.
I used the same glass loaf pan. You can use whatever you have, it doesn't have to be fancy. Put all the ingredients in and mix with an electric mixer. (My mixer is vintage of course and is older than me.) Do this every half an hour to prevent the ice from forming large chunks and to make it freeze slowly. No shaking, no ice cream maker needed.
When it is the right consistency to eat, eat it. That's it.
You can add any flavourings you want to this like chocolate, fruit, or whatever.
Happy Homesteading.
Freezing In-Season Fruit
At this time of year to save some money, we buy fruit, which is sometimes on sale, wash and freeze it for the winter. We do this instead of buying frozen from the grocery store in the winter. By doing this we know exactly where the fruit is grown and how it was processed (by us).
We do this with blueberries, Saskatoon berries (otherwise known as serviceberries) and sometimes strawberries if we can get them locally. To freeze them we use plastic honey containers as you can see in the photos. We feel this packaging method is acceptable since the berries do not contact too much of the plastic. Not as much as the honey that originally comes in them anyway.
This is what we are currently doing on the homestead right now as boring as it may seem.
We usually buy about two dozen packages of blueberries and about the same in strawberries. The Saskatoons have to be picked, which we do locally. And then we stuff ourselves with fresh berries for a few days! That's it!
How To Make Perogies
I can't believe it but we actually have too many potatoes. We never have too many. But this year Ernie says that if we don't use them soon or give some away we will have to waste them. He has already planted as many as we can room for in our garden so what ever is left must be eaten.
So, we are making potato dumplings otherwise known as perohy in Ukrainian or perogies in Polish. I'm sure most of you have heard about these. They are a carbohydrate lovers dream. Mashed potatoes with onion sometimes with cheese, mixed in or just plain cottage cheese, saurkraut, or prunes, put inside a white flour dough, boiled and then either fried with more onions or just eaten boiled with sour cream.
When we make them we just have a potato and onion filling. Nothing fancy.
This food is really just a way the homesteaders and pioneers used up produce so that it didn't go to waste. So even though they taste amazing, they are traditional and useful.
The recipe and instructions are fairly simple.
The dough is flour, water, and oil. The filling is really whatever you darn well feel like filling it with. Cut out dough circles, not too thick, put in a dab of filling and PINCH closed. If the dough won't stick closed, use a little more flour on your fingers and pinch them some more. Boil until floating.
It really couldn't be more simple. But you can screw them up. If you don't pinch them right, and add the right amount of flour, they will fall apart in the water as they are boiling. If you make the circles to big, you will have huge perogies. If your dough is not stretchy enough you will have trouble with everything.
But even though there may be a failure in the procedure, everything is still edible. That is the beauty of this food. At worst you will end up with half moon pasta pieces. Delicious.
Salvaging Bread
On a recent camping trip, a loaf of pre-sliced homemade raisin bread that we brought along ended up being moved back and forth between locations in the vehicle. This happened because we had more food than space to store it in and the bread got kicked out of the cooler. When we started out it was a fresh loaf and when we arrived home with it uneaten, it was in mostly tiny pieces.
I was able to salvage about 3 pathetic slices for breakfast after we got home. My first thought was to toss it, but then I quickly realized it could be made into bread pudding. I have never made or even eaten bread pudding, but have heard many people rave about it. So I used the whole loaf and made some up.
Luckily my husband eats anything, because after tasting it, I decided I am not a fan. This is not to criticize anyone who loves it, for sure. It is just my opinion. What I do love about it is that the bread does not go to waste, which is likely what happens a lot to bread that has become stale in most households. One of our goals in life is to waste nothing and live frugally, and I believe this is where bread pudding originated – from people living frugally and not wanting to waste anything. If the bread had not had raisins in it, I would have likely given it to the dogs over several days mixed in with their regular meals.
The recipe for bread pudding is simple – bread, cream or condensed milk, hot water, butter, salt, vanilla and eggs. You mix the milk and hot water, and pour it over the bread in a bowl. Once it cools to luke warm (so the eggs don't cook in the bowl), you pour the mixture of eggs, vanilla, melted butter and a bit of salt into it, mix it up and bake at 350 F for 1 hour.
If I didn't remember the recipe and needed to make this I would just make it to taste using the above ingredients. You don't even really need vanilla. We used real maple syrup as a topping but anything sweet could work. The recipe called for a runny brown sugar topping but since we don't have brown sugar in the house, the maple syrup was more than acceptable.
With the syrup, it tasted to me sort of like soggy french toast. This stuff could definitely pass for a breakfast and could be gussied up with more raisins and maybe even walnuts and cinnamon. I think I might have cooked it in a pan that was too high though. It did puff up quite a bit and would have overflowed if the pan had been smaller, but after cooling it shrank considerably. The texture was the part that I found the most unappealing.
I don't foresee making this again for a very long time, mostly because I hope we don't destroy bread this way again. If we have any dried out bread that is not in so many crumbs and pieces, I will attempt to make croutons, which I prefer to the sweeter and softer bread pudding.
So to clarify, there is really no need to waste anything, especially food. We go out of our way to use up anything that we haven't eaten soon enough in different ways, like this bread, and of course we compost everything else that is inedible for us or the dogs. Our dogs really appreciate any real food we can give them that is not spoiled.
I have tried the pudding once again and doctored it up with walnuts and cream and I can now say that I like it.
A Homestead/Historical Breakfast
For us, history is very much a part of why we homestead. We have a strong tie to the land where we live and to the history of our ancestors who lived and worked here before us. We still do many of the things that they did during daily life. Making certain foods is obviously going to be one of these things.
In my last blog post I talked about eating whole or real foods.
Just as an aside, I was not trying to show anyone how great we are for doing this and I feel that maybe some people may have taken offence to what I wrote. This is how WE do things and how we WANT to live I was not criticizing anyone's food choices, merely stating mine. If you feel that you don't agree with me that we are able to eat only whole foods, then you may need to evaluate why you might think that or even care. We simply are doing it.
With that out of the way, we are still eating 99% whole foods. There are only a few things that have multiple ingredients or additives on the labels for the things we buy from the store.
Kutia (pronounced koo-ti-ya) is a traditional Ukrainian dish that is normally served at Christmas. Both Ernie's and my families served this for Christmas eve supper and then again for breakfast the next morning.
The ingredients are:
Cooked wheat berries, poppy seeds, honey
Cook the wheat, add ground up poppy seeds and warm honey water – honey melted in hot water. Mix together. Eat.
That's it. This is a meal made out of three whole foods that is nutritious and extremely tasty. Our source of honey is a local farmer (a one minute drive or a five minute walk). Our source for poppy seeds is our garden. Our source for wheat is Saskatchewan Red Spring Wheat from the local store.
When we made Kutia this time I found that some of the poppy seeds had not been dried properly before storage last fall and were mouldy. Ernie went to the store and bought some (still a whole food) and we made half with store bought poppy seeds and half with what was left of our own that was not mouldy. They tasted pretty much the same in the end.
This dish is a true homesteader's food because it was made and eaten by our ancestors in this area after they immigrated to Canada. The tradition has been passed down and is a delicious one. Poppies were a flower that were seen in many gardens in this area. The flowers seeded themselves each year and provided a beautiful backdrop for the vegetable gardens. Obviously wheat was also grown in the area and is highly nutritious.
This dish is eaten on Ukrainian Christmas eve because it has no animal products in it. The tradition is that no animal products are eaten then in reverence to the animals at the birth. This is not to say that Ukrainians are vegan or even vegetarian. It is just a tradition.
If you want to watch us make this food see the video below.
Happy Homesteading!
Soggy Beets? No Worries.
Every year we have a good crop of beets even though we don't plant many. For some reason they grow and grow. This is the pic I posted in a blog post last fall. We store the beets and other root vegetables in our cellar which is essentially an area under the house that was dug out and filled (sort of ) with concrete in some places. In other places, there is just dirt. But it works.
Here's what it looks like:
The partitions were put in many years ago by Ernie and his dad.
As usual, we left the beets until now and they got squishy. This happens when the air around the beets (and potatoes, carrots etc) is taking the moisture out of the vegetable. We did put the beets, in pails with newspaper, which works not bad to keep the ones that are lower down from getting soft, but were still left with many soggy beets.
What To Do With Soggy Beets?
Simple. Make BORSHCH!
The process of making borshch is simple. Fry onions and garlic in fat (I used olive oil but you can use whatever you want), then add water, beets (I grated them with a large-holed grater we bought at a yard sale), dill, green beans, tomatoes and if you want carrots. I also put some garlic tops that I had frozen two years ago
Our main use for beets is in beet soup or in Ukrainian Borshch ( borshch is NOT spelled with a t, but with a SHCH which is the correct spelling in Ukrainian – so BORSHCH). We are able to grow all the ingredients (except olive oil, salt, pepper, and vinegar) for our borshch in our garden: beets, garlic, onions, dill, potatoes, beans, tomatoes and usually carrots but our carrots are finished now so we won't buy any, unless we can find locally grown carrots in the store.
So there you have it. A simple, nutritious soup to use up your beets even when they are getting soggy! A true homesteader food.
Using Up The Small Onions
So, we are out of the white onions that we harvested from our garden in the fall. They never really last very long anyway and sometimes we have to just chop them up, cook them and freeze them for use later.
For onions now, instead of buying we use our multipliers. This is good and bad. They are extremely flavourful, having much more flavour than regular white onions. The problem is that being small, they take extra time to peel and cut up. So much so that sometimes there is a temptation to NOT use them. But we buck up and do anyway!
We keep a certain number of them on the counter for convenience, but the rest (I am told there are still 2 long orange bags full of them) are kept in the cellar. These onions are grown from bulbs that have been grown in this area for decades. They are probably the same as most people have in many places though.
When thinking about being frugal, these onions fit right in to the scheme. You can grow them for green onions all through the summer, just for the mature onion, and for your own seed. They really are amazing. And so far there have been no diseases or insect bothering them at all like the other large onions.
We are also keeping what there is of our garlic on the counter. This year, as I have written about, was almost a failure. We had enough to plant about 6 small rows last fall, but what we are eating is very small as you can see. The flavour is good but again it is time consuming to peel.
In the picture, there is also an example of what is left of our apples. Ernie is still eating them but I cannot bring myself to 😉 He says they are good even though there is a little brown in the middle.
So we are set for onions until the winter onions peek through the soil in the spring.
Too Many Tomatoes
Today, we had to process what is left of our tomatoes. They were one day away from the compost due to being in the house in pails on the floor for too long. This was a result of having planted too many plants in the garden and having a spectacular growing year. We had the hot day, almost hot nights and LOTS of rain.
We peeled and boiled down the tomatoes, so that they simply don't take up as much space in the freezer. We decided not to can anymore because we already have 60 quarts canned and put away. The freezers are also loaded with many other vegetables, but can probably fit a few more jars.
Sometimes we add salt, garlic and basil and sometimes we don't. It is a good idea to mark the jars with what is in the mixture so that no more salt is added by accident when heating it up or using it in something else like chili or soup. I've made that mistake several times, and have even put salt in saurkraut soup by accident! Silly me.
There are a few pails of tomatoes, some Roma and some regular, left on the kitchen floor, but we intend to put those in the fridge and eat them fresh.
Harvest Lessons Learned
This year as usual, there were many things in our garden that did well. We also had a major failure. This is the pattern that most gardeners find every year. Some things do well and some don't.
Garlic crop failure
This year we had a major failure of garlic. When we asked around, almost everyone in our area did too, except one person. That person had mulched her garlic with straw the fall before. Last winter had very little snow cover and most of the garlic seed rotted in the ground. We ended up with only 150 cloves to plant for next year, and now we have to start all over again to produce for garlic sales.
The year of the pepper
On the good side, it was the year for pepper. Hot days and nights with a lot of rain. We used peppers houses on half of the plants, but near the end of the summer the peppers that were not under the huts caught up to the covered ones and ended up being as productive.
Lots of everything else
All other vegetables did pretty well. We are even waiting on Brussels Sprouts which we have never had any luck with, but have already put away 2 ice cream pails of them. Tomatoes we unbelievable, again due to warm nights and lots of rain. We actually are having to give some away as they ripen because we have no more room in the freezer, and already have 50 large canning jars put away.
Every year I try to save Coriander seeds to dry and crush instead of buying the spice from the store. Every year I have to watch carefully so that I don't pick them too late. Many of the seeds will have white mould on them which I will not use. I also dry basil and oregano. The screen shown below is what I use to dry the leaves. it is an old window screen. Simple but effective.
Horseradish really speads
Ernie removed and harvest one of the horseradish plants. There were three and we didn't realize how fast they spread – or how they spread. When he dug the plant up, it was easy to see how the roots go underground kind of like poplar trees. New plants grow from the long underground roots. We gave some away and kept some.
Apple-crab jelly
And finally tonight we used what was left of the apple-crabs and made a small amount of jelly. It turned out amazingly clear. Have yet to taste it.
Happy Fall Harvest!

Bitcoin Chief Scientist Gavin Andresen believes a new data structure, Invertible Bloom Lookup Tables (IBLTs), could realign the interests of miners with the rest of the network. Currently, Bitcoin miners have an incentive to keep blocks as small as possible. The smaller the block, the faster it spreads across the payment network. The faster a block spreads, the sooner the network accepts it. Two valid blocks mined by different operators at the same time enter a race to see which block can reach the most nodes the fastest. The first block to reach the majority of the network wins. The other becomes an orphaned block. With 25 bitcoins on the line, why should pool operators include transactions, which slow propagation time, in blocks at all?
Let's illustrate the issue: In the year 2034, MondoHash Corp mines block #1,523,292. Block size limits have since increased to 1TB. Real estate, contracts and property ownership are being managed by the blockchain. MondoHash's block is only almost full, containing nearly 1TB of transaction data. At the same time, CryptoFunk mines the same block. CryptoFunk does not include the 1TB of transaction data in its blocks. Their block is a few KB in size (10^9 smaller). If otherwise left unchanged from today, the Bitcoin network would receive the CryptoFunk block long before MondoHash's block. Similar to how your computer downloads an image faster than it would download a Blu-ray movie.
Hypothetically, if it took every full node one hour to download MondoHash's block while only a fraction of a second for CryptoFunk's block there wouldn't need to be a tie at all. By serving the network, MondoHash is handicapped. Their block propagation is extra time other miners get to keep mining in hopes that they find a block themselves. And, if successful, those miners could submit a much smaller block that lacks transactions and beats MondoHash – even much later than the original correct block.
This scenario is one of the often cited, esoteric, intentionally vague and dystopic futures critics use – "Bitcoin doesn't scale."
But that is years and many technological advances away – too many to account. Even at this time the Bitcoin network is nowhere near its capacity. This scenario is still unlikely to occur, even in the future. Bitcoin's greatest minds are at work on the "scalability" issue.
Then Who Cares?
How does this affect us now? Well, Bitcoin allows transactions without fees – fees are like a tip added to the block reward for the miners. Many transactions meet those requirements. It's possible (though not feasible) that some or all miners could begin ignoring transactions without fees in order to save precious bits and seconds to secure the block reward. Even transactions that include fees may not provide enough incentive to be included in the block – why risk the entire block reward for significantly smaller transaction fees?
When you broadcast your transaction to the network, it waits in a node's transaction pool for the next block. The mining software will include X KB worth of data from the transaction pool in the block – sorted by mining fees of course. A transaction included in a block receives its first confirmation. The block, then gets forwarded to the miner's known nodes. Those nodes forward to their known nodes and this repeats until the transaction fully propagates the network.
Possibly, competition between large miners could become so intense that they begin ignoring transactions in favor of a faster block confirmation. Our transactions would still exist, albeit indefinitely in limbo. They would have zero confirmations until a miner finally chose to include the transaction or it expires (very unlikely). Empty blocks are mined. In fact, most of the early blocks had no transactions around the time Satoshi was mining. For now, though, the number of miners and transactions are not a problem. As mentioned, the issue is in Bitcoin scaling and the critics have a point.
Scalability is how well a system accommodates the increased demand for its services. As a payment network Bitcoin can practically support 7 transactions per second (tps) – sort of. For comparison, Visa averages 2,000 tps, peaking at 47,000. For Bitcoin to process the world's transactions, it will need to surpass Visa eventually.
I say Bitcoin sort of handles 7 tps because transactions are stored in a mem pool, not written to blocks as they broadcast. The current maximum block size is 1MB. Using the average block time of 10 minutes we discover the formula for how many transactions Bitcoin can support. Here's the back of the napkin math:
Average Transaction Size = AvgTxSize
Max Transactions = MaxTx = (1MB / AvgTxSize)
Max Transactions per Second = MaxTPS = MaxTx / 600s
If AvgTxSize = 250 Bytes then MaxTx = 4000 and MaxTPS = 6.66
The maximum transactions a block can handle = the block size divided by the average transaction size. Transaction size can vary, but I won't explain every reason here. Just note that the size of a Tx increases depending on the number of inputs/outputs.
Satoshi added the 1MB block size to prevent DOS attacks. It would be possible to spam the network with absurdly large blocks. Miners would be stuck endlessly verifying bad block and transaction data. This limit can be changed any time. For skeptics claiming we must do so soon, Bitcoin only uses about 10% – 20% of it's MAXTPS.
Typically, it's cheaper to add new hardware to the system than performance tune software. You could spend months looking at your website's code to try to increase the maximum number of visitors you can support. Or, you could just pay another $10 a month for a second server and maybe double capacity. For Bitcoin, it's different. Adding new nodes to the network just increases the propagation time.
Additionally, the Bitcoin network is decentralized and upgrading the physical wires is impractical – the forces who control that are, or will be, at odds with Bitcoin in the future. So increasing hardware is not an option unless there are some Bit Angels pushing the development of the Internet 2.0.
The IBLT Proposal
Remember those pools where are transactions are kept in limbo until a miner decides to place them into a block? Gavin Andresen thinks we can use these pools to reduce overhead on the network. In his published proposed approach, he says:
If memory pools were perfectly synchronized and all miners had exactly the same policy for choosing which transactions to include in their blocks and in what order to include them, then miners could just announce new blocks as the fixed 80-byte block header and the coinbase transaction; there would be no need to include any transaction data at all, it could be reconstructed from their peers' memory pools.
Back to our illustration: The year is 2034 (again) MondoHash mines a block. Instead of sending 1TB of data with a block, it sends the block header (Identifying Block Info) and the coinbase transaction (Claiming the Block Reward) and some metadata about included transactions. Effectively, this is very similar to what Cryptofunk was doing in the previous example.
Currently, miners can choose what data goes in the block. Under Gavin's proposal, all miners would have synchronized transaction pools. Once synchronized the block data would not need to be sent along with a block – transactions already exist in the synced pool. Miner's will broadcast block outlines or framework. Network nodes follow the framework, properly filling the block with transactions.
There is another tool in programming called Big O Notation. It is used to rate software computational speed on the "worst-case" basis. Two programmers could write different code to achieve a similar end, but their implementation could be completely different. Big O notation is one metric that can measure the amount of work the computer does for each bit of code.
For example, we can use Big O Notation to compare the current block propagation time with the proposed (IBLT) block propagation time. It gets much more complex than this but here are some examples of ratings from fastest to slowest
O(1) – Constant Time
- Opening a dictionary to the correct word, every time the first time.
- A function that evaluates and returns True/False
O(log(n)) – Logarithmic Time
- Eliminate half the possible dictionary words with each guess.
- Binary search
O(n) – Linear Time
- Finding a word in the dictionary one word at a time.
- ArrayList.ToString
O(n^2) – Quadratic Time
- Checking every item in inventory for each item on the inventory list.
- Nested Loops
O(n^n) – Fail
- Microsoft is hiring
- There is a fantastic explanation here if you would like to know more.
Miners' current choice is between O(1), including no transactions, and O(n), including n transactions. What "n" depends on how many transactions they include; one, all, just the ones with fees, etc. Gavin's proposal would remove the choice and put all miners on O(1) time for propagating their blocks.
Mining would change in the following ways:
The canonical ordering of transactions in blocks
- Start with the set of transactions in the block (including the coinbase transaction)
- Sort them in ascending order, using the smallest (previous-transaction-hash, index) of each transaction's inputs as the sort key. Note that the coinbase transaction will be first since its previous input/index is all zero.
- Add the first transaction on the sorted list that does not depend on a transaction later in the list to the block (and remove it from the sorted list).
- Continue adding transactions until the sorted list is empty.
A similar policy of selecting those pool transactions go into blocks
- Transactions are selected based on priority and fee-per-kilobyte
- Sending the block header, transaction data size, and size of high priority transactions for new blocks is sufficient for the IBLT to reconcile the data.
Peers send IBLTs containing transaction data to one another, synchronizing pools
For me, this is the quintessential spirit of Bitcoin. Instead of targeting the "bad" actor who is behaving rationally within the system, the rules are changed to realign the interests of all actors, and everyone benefits from the same advantage.
Easy right? Now all that's left to do is synchronize every full Bitcoin node on the planet – just wait until we have to deal with block propagation from Mars (thanks, Elon). Synchronizing datasets between nodes is the proposed implementation for IBLTs.
Invertible Bloom Lookup Tables
So what the Hell is an IBLT?
An IBLT is a Data Structure. In programming, we use a data structure to define a piece of code. In video games, you have a data structure for NPCs, for example. Instead of programming hundreds of Goombas for Super Mario you write just one and copy it over and over.
In Bitcoin, a transaction is a data structure. A Block is a data structure that mostly contains other data structures – transactions. If you have experience in Object-Oriented Programming, this should all be familiar. If you are not a programmer think of data structures as gears in a machine. They work with other data structures to produce working software.
IBLTs store data in key-value pairs. For Bitcoin, values need to be fixed. Using 48 bits from the transactions data hash and a 16-bit sequence number gives a 64-bit key. Keys have a .1% chance of collision (two unique transactions with the same key) – even at one million transactions a block. In the event that an actual collision occurs the transaction will simply wait for the next block.
Fantastic but what's the point? Well, IBLTs can be used to reconcile sets of data. In the MondoHash example, 1TB can fit approximately 4,000,000 transactions. Instead of sending all of those transactions with a block, peers will compress all their transaction data into a much smaller IBLT. Peers will pass IBLTs back and forth, comparing their transaction records. When a block is mined, transaction pools should be nearly synchronized. Thus, sending transaction data with the block information is redundant.
Suppose Alice wants to reconcile her transaction pool with Bob:
1. Alice's pool, P1, has more transactions than Bob's, P2.
2. Alice creates an IBLT for P1, IBLT-1. The transaction data hash/sequence salt is our key. The table stores the remaining serialized transaction data.
3. Alice sends IBLT-1 to Bob.
4. Bob deletes transactions from IBLT-1 that match transactions in his pool.
5. Bob requests the remaining transactions from the network and adds them to his transaction pool
Proponents, Opponents, and Components
Bitcoin will not eclipse Visa as a payment processor overnight. As mentioned above, transactions can increase by a power of ten before the maximum block size begins delaying transactions – so the fire hasn't broken out yet. There is still a healthy discussion taking place among developers as to which of the available solutions will scale the best.
Below I am including links to other possible solutions as well as feedback and discussions that have taken place over the past months concerning scaling, and the problems, IBLTs hope to address.
Matt Corallo is working on a high-speed backbone relay network for Bitcoin.
"For those who have been using this to get faster relays to/from the Network, you may have noticed some instability recently. This is because the nodes were all being upgraded to use some new relaying code which should cut down on duplicate transaction relaying in blocks, improving relay speed within the network and to nodes which run new clients which use the same relaying technique. Essentially instead of relaying entire blocks, nodes keep a rolling window of recently-seen transactions and skip those when relaying blocks."
Several devs have discussed relaying just the block header information
"Bitcoin uses a multi-hop broadcast to propagate transactions and blocks through the network to update the ledger replicas. We then use the gathered information to verify the conjecture that the propagation delay in the network is the primary cause for blockchain forks. Blockchain forks should be avoided as they are symptomatic for inconsistencies among the replicas in the network. We then show what can be achieved by pushing the current protocol to its limit with unilateral changes to the client's behavior."
Information Propagation in the Bitcoin Network
Gregory Maxwell expresses his ideas
Gregory Maxwell comparing the Matt Corallo Relay Network to IBLTs
Peter Todd voices his opinions here
"Unfortunately IBLT only works for scalability if all the participants are "honest" and run the algorithm as-is, rather than try to maximize revenue. The problem is still large miners: if I'm a big miner like GHash.IO, I can earn more revenue than my competitors by including transactions that they don't yet have, which pushes their orphan rate up much more than it does mine. The miner will take a hit on subsidy profit temporarily, but their competitors take a much bigger hit.(1) In the future if transaction fees dominate revenue even that won't be true: you'll earn more money outright because you get a higher % of the transactions."

scimsessionfile. It contains the credentials for your new Provision Manager account.
- Your bearer token. It's the key to decrypt your
Save them both in 1Password. You'll need them to deploy the SCIM bridge and connect your identity provider. Learn how to save important files in 1Password.
The bearer token and
scimsession file combined can be used to sign in to your Provision Manager account. You'll need to share the bearer token with your identity provider, but it's important to never share it with anyone else. And never share your
scimsession file with anyone at all.
Step 2: Prepare your local system
2.1: Install Docker
Deploying the SCIM bridge on Azure Kubernetes Service requires Kubernetes, which is included with Docker Desktop. On your local system, install Docker Desktop.
2.2: Install the Azure CLI
To manage your cluster on your local system, install the Azure CLI.
2.3: Clone the scim-examples repository
All the configuration files needed to deploy the SCIM bridge are available in the scim-examples repository on GitHub.
To clone the repository, open your terminal app, switch to the directory where you want to clone the repository, and run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/1Password/scim-examples.git
Step 3: Deploy the SCIM bridge
If you don't already have a Microsoft account , create one. Then follow these steps.
3.1: Start creating a Kubernetes cluster
The SCIM bridge must be deployed to a cluster. To create a cluster:
- Sign in to your account on the Microsoft Azure portal.
- Click "Create a resource" in the sidebar and choose "Kubernetes service".
3.2: Configure your cluster
Configure your cluster using the following options. For all other options, you can use the provided defaults or choose your preferred options.
Project details:
- Resource group
Choose one, or click "Create new" and enter "1Password".
Cluster details:
- Kubernetes cluster name
Enter "SCIM".
Primary node pool:
- Node size
The SCIM bridge only requires a "Standard B2s" VM size.
- Node count
The SCIM bridge only requires 1 node.
After you've configured your cluster, click "Review + create". It may take a moment. When you see "Validation passed", click "Create".
When you see "Your deployment is complete", continue to the next step.
3.3: Configure kubectl to connect to your Kubernetes cluster
Sign in to your Azure account:
az login
To configure kubectl to connect to your Kubernetes cluster, include your
<resourcegroup> and
<clustername> in the following command:
az aks get-credentials --resource-group=<resourcegroup> --name=<clustername>
The credentials are saved in
$HOME/.kube/config, which is where kubectl will look for them.
3.4: Deploy Redis
The SCIM bridge requires a Redis instance for caching. To deploy Redis to your new cluster, switch to the
scim-examples/kubernetes folder from the cloned repository and use the manifest files provided:
kubectl apply -f redis-deployment.yaml
kubectl apply -f redis-service.yaml
3.5: Create a Kubernetes secret
To create a Kubernetes secret containing your
scimsession file, include the correct path to it in the following command. For example, if your
scimsession file is in the current directory:
kubectl create secret generic scimsession --from-file=./scimsession
3.6: Deploy the SCIM bridge
To obtain a TLS certificate for the SCIM bridge, edit
op-scim-deployment.yaml and add your domain name to line 19 in the
containers.args field. For example, if you're using the subdomain
scim on the domain
args: ["--session=/secret/scimsession", "--letsencrypt-domain=scim.example.com"]
To deploy the SCIM bridge:
kubectl apply -f op-scim-deployment.yaml
kubectl apply -f op-scim-service.yaml
3.7: Create the DNS record
Create a new DNS A record for your domain that points to the IP address of the load balancer, which was deployed in the previous step. To get the external IP address of the load balancer:
kubectl get services
It might take a few minutes for Azure to provide an external IP address to the load balancer. After you have one, you can use it to configure your DNS records.
To test the SCIM bridge
To check that the DNS has propagated and the SCIM bridge is deployed successfully, visit the domain you configured in the previous step. You'll see a 1Password SCIM Bridge Status page, which can be used to verify your OAuth bearer token.
To test the connection to 1Password, include your
<bearertoken> and
<domain> in the following command:
curl --header "Authorization: Bearer <bearertoken>" https://<domain>/scim/Users
A list of the users in your 1Password account will be returned.
The SCIM bridge requires TLS to work. The SCIM bridge will automatically obtain a LetsEncypt certificate after DNS has propagated. Before you connect the SCIM bridge to your identify provider, make sure that you can connect to the SCIM bridge:
- over a secured (HTTPS) connection
- with a valid TLS certificate
If you have existing 1Password groups you want to sync
- Sign in to your account on 1Password.com and click Groups in the sidebar.
- Select a group, then click Manage in the People section.
- Select the Provision Manager and click Update Group Members.
- Click next to the Provision Manager and choose Manager.
Step 4: Connect your identity provider to the SCIM bridge
Because the 1Password SCIM bridge provides a SCIM 2.0-compatible web service that accepts OAuth bearer tokens for authorization, you can use it with a variety of identity providers.

A customer in southern Germany processes pump housings and valve bodies made from spheric grey cast and grey cast on 2 processing centers. Processing releases fine particles of abraded cast iron and graphite particles, which contaminate the cooling lubricant. The processing oil had to be replaced after a very few weeks of operation, because the surface quality of the work pieces was degraded as the contamination of the oil increased.

How To Make A Hummingbird Feeder
A backyard hummingbird feeder is a great way to unwind and watch the birds as they do their mid-air dance. You can purchase several different types of hummingbird feeders, but for the creative person, you can easily make your own.
In fact, building a hummingbird feeder is a great project for anyone and can be easily done in less than an hour. If you have been thinking about how you can build a quick and easy hummingbird feeder, here are a few steps that you can use to build a hummingbird feeder today with common materials.
What You Will Need
Small plastic tub with cover
16 oz. soda bottle
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup water
Step One - Wash out Materials
Take the plastic tub and the soda bottle and wash them completely. Use regular soap and water and rinse them thoroughly to get rid of any soap residue. Dry them each thoroughly. You do not want to have any soap or old food residue in the containers when you fill them with the hummingbird feeder solution.
Step Two - Cut Holes in Cover
Using a pencil or scissors, poke at least 4 holes in the cover of the plastic tub. You can cut more in it if you want, but you should have at least 4 holes.
Step Three - Attach Bottle to Cover
Take the bottle and measure its opening. Transfer that measurement to the center of the cover of the plastic tub. Cut out the hole with the scissors. Make the cut a little smaller than the actual measurement. This still make a tight fit. If the plastic ring is still around the top of the bottle, take it off. Attach the bottle to the cover by pushing the opening through the hole. It should be pushed to the point where it rests in the notch where the retainer ring was. If the bottle does not stay straight, then use the tape to keep it secured and vertical.
Step Four - Place Cover on Container
Once the bottle is secured to the top of the container, place the top on it. Make sure it still fits with a tight fit so that it will not fall away when the feeder is hanging.
Step Five - Attach String
Make your hanger so the string goes through the bottom of the bottle. Drill a small hole through the bottle near the bottom. Thread the string through the hole and tie together with a strong knot. Attach to a tree branch or a post with an arm extending out.
Step Six - Mix Solution and Fill Feeder
Mix the sugar and water solution thoroughly and fill the hummingbird feeder. You can fill the feeder by taking off the cover and filling the container. Attach a red ribbon around the feeder to attract birds and sit back and watch the hummingbirds begin to show up at your feeder.

Hello Lovelies,
Happy Friday to you all! Happy holiday season from our family to yours! I hope each of you are enjoying the holidays so far and being able to spend some time with those you love most.
When I go to get dresed every day the first outfit that pops in my head is an all black look. Let's be honest, it's hard to mess up an all black look….it's both sleek and chic. I am completely obsessed with all black and always have been. I don't know what it is about it, but it gives you such an edgy, clean look, not to mention it's so so slimming. I was probably a little too obsessed with it last winter and wore it way too often so this year I am keeping it to a minimum but this is one of those outfits that I just had to wear. This poncho is the business!! I have it a couple of months now but never really had the opportunity to wear it well until now that is. I hope you like this all black look and have an awesome Friday! I don't know about you bur for some crazy reason this week is flying by for me!

She sent us a big wink the other day. We spent the long weekend camping with my family. I was sitting in my mom and dad's camper when P comes knocking on the window. Lo and behold, on his hat, there sits a butterfly. She stayed there for a long time. A wink?! I think so...
We spent a lot of time around the campfire too. There's just something so soothing about a crackling fire (and s'mores and roasting weenies!). So relaxing...just what I needed. Time with family and friends can cure just about anything.
|Good times with great friends and family
|Jazz having his breakfast treat: sausage gravy and biscuits
As I said, I've been struggling a lot lately with her upcoming birthday. I want to have a birthday party, but I don't even know where to start. I don't even know how to bring up the subject with the rest of my family, not even P. I almost feel silly even thinking about planning her party. But how is it silly? She's my daughter, why shouldn't we have a party for her? I just don;t know where or how to begin.
And, with her first birthday looming around the corner, so are the birthdays for little Aaron and Miss Layla. Their moms and I were pregnant together last year. They are 2 of my best friends and I had hoped our children would be just as close. Now, an Evite invitation sits in my email, just waiting to be answered. It's an invitation to Layla's first birthday party. I don't think I can do it. I've already promised Jess I would help out in any way I can, but I don't think I can do it. Every time I go to RSVP, I can't...my eyes well up and I start shaking. The last thing I want to do is turn into a blubbering fool in the middle of her birthday party. But, I don't want to hurt Jessica's feelings either. She has been so great to me, more than I can say for most of my so-called friends. I have no idea what to do...why can't this just be easier?

One of the best ways to secure business success over the long term is to avoid relying solely on drawing in new customers but to instead also put effort into making existing customers so happy that they keep coming back. There are many ways to encourage this type of loyalty, and by attending a good hospitality training program, you can learn how to incorporate some of these methods into your own toolkit.
Wondering about ways you might encourage client loyalty in your own future hospitality career? Here are a few methods that you may want to try.
Hospitality Management Grads Should Focus on Good Service to Keep Clients Coming Back
Running into problems while away from home is never fun, and when those problems aren't resolved quickly, the situation can quickly turn frustrating. That's one of the reasons why, perhaps above all else, guests who stay in hotels and other accommodation businesses value having timely and friendly service.
You can use the skills you developed in your hospitality management program to meet this demand. Address shortcomings that you notice in the way your workplace manages food and beverages, find ways to improve the efficiency or atmosphere of the reception desk or take other steps where you feel service could somehow be improved. Make your guests feel welcome and that they are being taken care of. In return, you can expect to see many of them coming back for repeat visits to your establishment.
After Hospitality Management Training, Don't Forget About the Importance of Cost
Very few people operate with a limitless budget, and so if you want to attract customers—and keep them coming back—it's important to price your accommodations at a level that your guests can afford. The precise level of cost will be different for different establishments. For example, costs will be higher for a five-star resort than for a small hotel in the suburbs. What's important is that you ensure it matches the expectations of your target market.
Costs for accommodations and other services will be heavily influenced by material costs, employment costs for your team, and other expenses relating to the running of a hospitality business. When choosing a training program, opt for hospitality courses that include an in-depth review of accounting principles. These can help you understand how to budget, forecast, and perform other tasks relating to the financial side of hospitality. You may be able to use this information to find ways to cut costs without sacrificing quality, and thereby encourage customers to return.
Safety and Security Could Encourage Guests to Return
Nightmare stories of valuables pilfered from hotel rooms are not as rare as they ought to be, and hotels' semi-public nature can also sometimes make hotels seem somewhat insecure. This can make some of your clientele nervous. It also provides you with a potential opportunity. By making your guests feel safe, you can build a loyal following of people for whom security is a concern.
There are many dimensions to security that ought to be kept in mind, including individual room security, security of wireless internet networks, security of the safe where some guests may choose to leave valuables, and more. If you have the chance, consider investing in good room key technology, secure WiFi, and other methods of discouraging criminal activity on your grounds. Customers will appreciate that their wellbeing is being looked after, and could well prioritize a return visit to your establishment.
