EPISODE 28: David Heinemeier Hansson, Basecamp Founder & CTO, Tech Genius, and Race Car Driver

Welcome to the How Did You Get Started Show with Felicia Slattery! We air live in the Talk 92.3 FM / AM 760 Studios in Knoxville, Tennessee each Saturday morning at 11:30 AM – Noon Eastern Time. If you’re interested in sponsoring the show, contact Felicia on her contact page here. You can call the studio with a question for Felicia or our guests at: 865-888-8255 and listen live from anywhere around the world right here:

Now, meet TODAY’S guest:

Today we’re having another first on the How Did You Get Started Show  — I’m interviewing a guest I’ve never met or spoken to, and have only interacted once with on Twitter. That’s because he’s a legit superstar in several worlds. In fact, it’s been said that he’s “changed the future of technology.”

If you’ve used Twitter, Hulu, or Groupon, you’ve experienced the creation of Danish-born David Heinemeir Hansson, who is the tech genius behind the infrastructure those behemoth sites are run on.

David Heinemeier Hansson calls himself “a reluctant programmer,” because he never really had any interest in most programming languages. Yet when he discovered Ruby programming language, he says his mind was blown with the possibilities. David, or @DHH as he can be found on Twitter (he’s not on Facebook, LinkedIn, or Instagram), has gone on to create an open-source (that means FREE for anyone to use!) software program called Ruby on Rails, which led him to working with his business partner Jason Fried to become the co-founder & CTO of a project management software company called Basecamp, which he describes as a “saner, organized way to manage projects and communicate company-wide.”

He’s a great writer, and while you wait for the delivery of the books below, you can read this article all about the day he became a millionaire.

David is also a New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Sunday Times best-selling author of four books, where he and Jason Fried wrote about how they have set up their business differently, which is why I initially wanted to interview him. (He’s also co-written another book about Ruby on Rails). His books include:

It Doesn’t Have To Be Crazy At Work is the latest book written together with Jason Fried. It’s about how to run a calm company by forgoing the lure of excessive growth and making your time count for more. Entrepreneurs have forever believed that long hours, aggressive hustle, and “whatever it takes” while sacrificing your life and family is the price you pay for growing a business. It doesn’t have to be.

REWORK has sold more than half a million copies sold around the world. It’s a book about starting and running businesses a better way. Much like my own “Kill the Elevator Speech” book, this book takes a contrarian approach to doing business the way it’s always been done. In it you’ll discover how plans are actually harmful, why you don’t need outside investors, and why you’re better off ignoring the competition. The truth is, you need less than you think. You don’t need to be a workaholic. You don’t need to staff up. You don’t need to waste time on paperwork or meetings. You don’t even need an office. Those are all just excuses. They’ve proved it at Basecamp where they’ve built a business that to date has more than 3 million accounts signed up, yet only have a team of about 50 people working remotely.

REMOTE: Office Not Required encapsulates all he’s learned about working remotely for the past decade. It includes all the arguments for why the time is right for remote work to blossom, and for how you can navigate the pitfalls. I’ve personally worked “remotely” since 2006 – with various team members from around the globe. It’s a fabulous business model.

Finally, Getting Real was the first book he wrote with Jason. It shares everything they learned while building Basecamp and a web-app software business. It may be over a decade old, but it’s still on point.

In the midst of doing all that, oh by the way, in 2014 he also won the 82nd running of the 24-hour Le Mans car race, the world’s biggest endurance race. He’s raced many different cars over the years, competing in dozens of races.

He used to speak at many events, but these days he only speaks at his own company’s event. He’s a frequent podcast guest, hobbyist photographer, and family man, married with two sons.

I want to meet him on air for the first time today because I like the way he thinks. I may be a wee bit star-struck when we talk, but I’ll do my best to sound professional ;-).

Political Correctness iz jenerally associated with the left. Wether you consider it an organized movement with sum level uv official support, or just an attitude about proper conduct dependz on how deeply you are rapped up in either rite or left wing politics.

If you dont pay much attention to either, you probably woud hav a hard time explaining why it’s not the same thing az good mannerz.

Dont uze ethnic slang termz, dont ascribe stereotypical karacteristics to peepl, dont throw insults just kuz you disagree.  In short, be polite, respectful and tolerant.

That’s how I perseevd it for a long time, but gradually realized it had metastesized into something more complicated and less benine. Read this Wiki paje if you want the detailz.

Now,  sum 30 yirz after rite leaning authorz began riting cautionary books about it, you can find endless Youtubez about run amok PC at collejez. There are actual polisiez in organizationz big and small banning sertain wordz and prescribing rediculous replasements.  Naturally, to maintain salez numberz,  new books became progressivly more alarmist, propozing all sorts uv conspirasy theoryz.

There iz enuf hysteria on both sidez to support the accuzationz uv excess.

Wut haz been masked by all the hubbub iz the fact that stupidity quietly jumped on the back uv the PC bandwagon, taking a free ride at everybody else’z expens.

It wuz so gradual and insidious, that its impossible to say wen it began to be nonPC to call out stoopid statements or clearly say  sumwun iz stoopid.  Yes, there iz and alwayz haz been a waiver for comedianz,  but its actually just the same waiver they are granted for swearing and pushing the envelope uv social akseptability.  Ordinary peepl including politicianz and newzreaderz  hav not been able to say ‘that’s stoopid’ without risking a reprimand by their PC associates. At best you coud only state the facts that show the contrast to reality or list the many incorrect statements sumwun haz made.

And yes, it haz alwayz been impolite, but I hav the impression that there were limits on how stoopid your statements coud be befor youd be laffed at and suffer a loss uv credibility.

The basic prinsiple that one’z reputation depended on your wordz being true & accurate went away.

The Republican party capitalized on this. I’d be suprized if it wuz intentional, but its possible that they recognized the spesific opportunity to get away with ever more outrajous idiosy, knowing that the PC leftyz woud not call them out for it.

I mark the intentionally belijerent stoopidity uv Sarah Palin’z “how’z that hopey chanjey  thing workin out for yu?” az the beginning uv my realization that the GoP wuz conducting a campain to attract peepl, to put it in PC termz,  hoo havent bothered to consider the finer points uv the consept uv sivilized society.

To put it in nonPC termz, idiots, assclownz, bogarts, actual low IQ moronz.

I hav a few namez for them: Gullibullz. Bleevrz. Peepl who hav bad lojik and want to beleev sumthing, so dont need to think.

To them the GoP/Fox propaganda network coud tell any lie. Any story, no matter how clearly refuted by the facts, coud be dumped into their hedz without fear uv the consequensez that shoud be suffered for looking stoopid. They will check nothing!

And thanks to the pervasiv PC culture, theze gullibullz can boldly spout the last nite’s tokking points supplied by Hannity without fear uv ridicule by their frendz or coworkerz.

Perhaps, if the main stream media desided early on to immediatly and LOUDLY call out each and every lie and condem the tellerz till they stopt repeating them, they may hav been able to nip this stinkweed in the bud.

But they did not.

Aside from Kieth Olbermann and maybe a few lesser known commentatorz, it took the media most uv the last decade befor they coud utter the word ‘lie’ about anything or ‘liar’ about anybody. Totally verboten by PC rulez!

It took Donald Trump’s non stop planet Jupiter scale hurricane uv liez to finally blow down that barrier!

Too late. The damaj haz been and continuez to be dun.

R politicianz feel no shame telling their stoooopid fablez on national TV. Not just on Fox, but on Meet The Press, This Week and any other real newz show that will hav them on.

The GoPs see it az an opportunity to reach Demz and independents, hoping they are so uninformed that they will at least develop sum dowt about the real storyz. Maybe sum % will also be gullibl enuf to swich sidez, they hope. Sertainly no downside to trying!

It painz me to watch Chuck Todd or George Stephanopolis having to sit there az wun uv Trump’s cabinet stoojez or R congressmen shamelessly defend hiz latest atrosity with utter nonsense, absolutely NEVER ansering a simple direct question.  They are stuck with the duty uv trying to be unbiased.  They bravely adhere to the prinsipl uv journalistic integrity requiring the prezentation uv both sidez, even az the ‘other’ side slaps them in the fase with insult-to-intellijens idiotic liez.

If Chuck reached across the table and slapped Steve Mnuchin’z clownish fase wile he wuz blathering, he woud be a national hero!

If George kikt Jim Jordan under the table to stop hiz moronic schpiel, he woud dezerv a Pulitzer prize!

They’d both be fired immediately, but seriously, they woud feel GREAT!  They woud be GREAT!  And they are alredy rich, so coud afford to be jobless for the rest uv their livez, even IF for sum stranje reazon they coudnt capitalize on their new hero status.

We can daydream, cant we? Its still permissable to wish, iznt it? I suppoze I’ll hav to call the local PC International Council offis to check.

More realisticly, I think that after such an embarrassing performans, the hed uv the newz department shoud bring the offending GoP into the offis and tell him that he will not be invited back for a yir, then on hiz next appearens, if he offendz agen, he will be permanently banned.

Plain and simple, they are insulting the public’s intellijens wen they expect us to beleev them.  They are abuzing the networks and their sponsorz by pushing propaganda insted uv providing information that they may hav due to their lofty taxpayer supported pozitionz.  Shameful betrayal uv the nation’z trust.

And their supporterz, all the gullibullz and bleevrz, shoud feel shame for helping empower them.

And the Democratic party leaderz and the real newz organizationz shoud realize how poorly they hav handled the situation. Lame. Inattentiv. Shortsited. Neglijent.

did a couple of last minute shopping with my sis also. everything has to be new mar.

from undies to slippers. all new 🙂

must be donned in new pieces from top to bottom.

according to shianyi, if u do that u will have abundance of clothes to wear the whole year round. didnt know that. its normally an excuse to get more stuffs nia 😛

i was in charge of the tomyam steamboat this year. tomyam ala mamak.

Null space

Generalized Jacobian inverses and Kinetic Energy Minimization

Posted on Updated on

In my last post, I discussed how one may obtain a unique solution while inverting control Jacobians by constraining the generalized inverse’s null space to correspond to a velocity and acceleration null space. The way to do this was to show that the J^{\#T}‘s null space filters any potential generalized forces that could induce an acceleration in a higher priority task. The proof used the Jacobian’s transpose, which corresponds to force projections.

Here, I will discuss an alternative approach that produces the same result but works with the dual, which corresponds to velocity projections. The approach is to compute the Jacobian inverse using Lagrange multipliers in a way that minimizes Kinetic Energy in the entire control space, which includes the task’s null space.

If the previous paragraph sounded like jargon, please read my control tutorial and learn about Lagrange multipliers.

Let’s dive in by specifying our original equation and the Lagrangian with a generalized kinetic energy term:

\dot{x}\,=\,J\,\dot{q}\\ \\L\,=\,\frac{1}{2}\,\dot{q}^{T}\,M_{gc}\,\dot{q}+\lambda^T\,(\dot{x}-J\,\dot{q})

A solution that extremizes the Lagrangian will have zero gradients with respect to both the generalized velocities and the lagrange multipliers:

0\,=\,\frac{\delta L}{\delta\dot{q}}\,=\,M_{gc}\,\dot{q}\,-\,J^T\,\lambda\\ \\ 0\,=\,\frac{\delta\,L}{\delta\,\lambda}\,=\,\dot{x}-J\,\dot{q}

In order to resolve the Lagrange multiplier, we have to substitute \dot{q} in \frac{\delta\,L}{\delta\,\lambda}. This is because M_{gc} is positive definite and invertible (it is an inertia after all; word to the wise, consider reading this) while J is not.

M_{gc}\,\dot{q}\,=\,J^T\,\lambda\\ \\ \dot{q}\,=\,M_{gc}^{-1}\,J^T\,\lambda

Substituting this in our original equation, we have:

\dot{x}\,=\,J\dot{q}\,=\,J\,M_{gc}^{-1}\,J^T\lambda\\ \\ \lambda=(J\,M_{gc}^{-1}\,J^T)^{-1}\,\dot{x}

Which finally gives us

along with

You may double check that this is indeed the dynamically consistent generalized inverse that corresponds to the acceleration null space [1,2]. Deriving the dynamically consistent generalized inverse using Lagrange multipliers and the dual problem, help us state that it minimizes kinetic energy in the generalized coordinates. Or that this is the inertia regularized inverse. All three interpretations are correct.

Generalized Jacobian inverses and acceleration null spaces

Posted on Updated on

To start, if you are unfamiliar with robot control, consider reading this tutorial for a detailed introduction to the basic mathematics behind model based nonlinear robot control. The tutorial includes an introduction into whole-body control, and discusses how to perform motor tasks by projecting actuator forces through an articulated body’s nonlinear kinematics. For the post’s remainder, I will assume that you are already somewhat familiar with force control, and with potential issues with controlling task-redundant robots.

Let us first consider the task of controlling a force at a robot’s hand. We first present the kinematic Jacobian, which relates velocities and forces in task coordinates and the robot’s generalized coordinates.

\dot{x} = J \dot{q} \\ \\ J^{T} F_{x} = F_{gc}

Where x and (q, gc) are the task and generalized coordinates respectively. Using these identities, one may compute hand velocities when given joint velocities, and may compute joint (motor) torques given a desired force to be applied at the hand.

At times, however, one must invert the Jacobian, which is an underconstrained problem when robots have more degrees-of-freedom than the task at hand. Jacobian inverses are useful while performing multiple tasks if one wants to ensure that tasks don’t interfere with each other. One way to do this, presented in the tutorial and in a paper by Khatib (Khatib ’90), is to constrain the inverse by requiring its null space to be an acceleration null space. i.e., If

F_{gc} = J^{T} F_{x} + (I - J^{T} J^{\#T}) F_{gc|null},

then the null space generalized forces F_{gc|null} must not be able to induce either velocity or an acceleration changes in the task coordinates when filtered through the task’s null space (I - J^{T} J^{\#T}). That way, a lower priority task may be projected into the null space, which would prevent it from interfering with the higher priority task.

Please note that unlike our notation, which uses indicative subscripts, Khatib’s notation uses different symbols for forces and inertias in different coordinates. So we have generalized inertias M_{gc}=A, task space inertias M_x=\Lambda, generalized forces F_{gc}=\Gamma etc.

The question then, is how one might compute this acceleration null space. Note that since the Jacobian relates velocities, a generic Moore-Penrose pseudoinverse‘s null space is already a velocity null space. Redundant robots, however, have infinitely many velocity null spaces corresponding to different generalized inverses, but only have a unique acceleration null space. This corresponds to the dynamically consistent generalized inverse given in Khatib’s paper:

J^{\#}=M_{gc}^{-1}J^{T}(J M_{gc}^{-1} J^{T})^{-1}

If you did not understand how this was derived, please read the “Energy Equivalence and Operational Dynamics : Hand” section in Samir’s control tutorial.

Using this formulation, you can do cool stuff like pressing a doorbell with a robot’s hand while balancing a tray of cupcakes (yum!) on the robot’s elbow. An acceleration null space will guarantee that the elbow’s motions won’t interfere with the hand. Try it out!

July 14, 2020 - State Places Additional Restrictions on Certain Sectors; Takes Effect Locally Friday

707-441-5000 ; ; Monday-Friday 8am to 7pm

California Governor Gavin Newsom announced a statewide order to close bars and transition six industry sectors to outdoor-only operations to limit spread of COVID-19. Local implementation has begun and will take full effect Friday.

The state is requiring all bars that do not have a permit to serve food to close, and these businesses should cease operations no later than Friday. Businesses in the following affected sectors should offer only outdoor services with safety precautions in place:

  • Restaurants
  • Wineries and Tasting Rooms
  • Movie Theaters
  • Family Entertainment Centers
  • Zoos and Museums
  • Cardrooms.

Outdoor dining, carry out, curbside pickup and delivery are still allowed with physical distancing and other safety precautions in place.

Humboldt County Health Officer Dr. Teresa Frankovich said she is hopeful that these actions will help the state avoid a move into stricter shelter-in-place measures. “We have talked since the beginning about the possibility for pauses or steps back to manage the pandemic,” she said. “I know this is challenging. At this time we need to use all of our prevention strategies so that we can reopen as soon and as safely as possible.”

Dr. Frankovich noted that this statewide action does not permit counties to take independent action on reopenings even though our county is “doing well” in terms of case counts and hospitalizations right now. “The governor is implementing this order to address the concerning increase in cases, hospitalizations and ICU admissions across more than 30 counties, which represent 80 percent of our state’s population,” she said.

Those businesses that already received certification to reopen from the Emergency Operations Center will not need to resubmit a Business Reopening Plan to offer outdoor services or to reopen once the state again allows these sectors to operate. Humboldt County is not currently on the state’s County Monitoring List and will not be required by the state at this time to fully close additional sectors.

Trianon 100 – LMP: Trianon Is with Us Every Day

MTI-Hungary Today 2020.06.04.

Commemorating the centenary of the Trianon Treaty, the group leader of opposition LMP said that 100 years after the “shameful dictate” the Hungarian nation today still stands “as one and united”.

“The Carpathian Basin is a common legacy and common future, but those who say that one should look only into the future are wrong. The decision made in Trianon is a tragedy that will always stay with us,” László Lóránt Keresztes told a press conference in Budapest.

He added that even after a century, the Hungarian communities in the annexed parts of the country have shown that they want and can remain Hungarian despite many trials. At the same time, the Hungarian communities in several states are “under political attack”, which he said is unacceptable.

Péter Ungár, a party lawmaker, said that “Trianon is with us every day”, adding that Hungary’s EU membership does not “relieve [us from] the trauma of Trianon”.

“We, however, can commemorate it, which is the first step in reaching a national consensus,” he said.

Trianon: Instead of the principle on self-determination of nations, the victorious great powers re-drew borders according to their geopolitical interests – Interview with historian Balázs Ablonczy

He called the peace treaty “unjust” and “mistaken” which led to a geopolitical disaster.

“The lesson learnt is that leading international powers can act against Hungary any time, and that Hungary can only count on itself in global politics,” Ungár said.

Water Quality of Lake Balaton Steadily Improving, New Study Finds

Péter Cseresnyés 2020.07.06.

The water quality of Lake Balaton shows sustained improvements, a recent study by researchers at NASA and Stanford University found, based on the record of American Earth observation satellite Landsat.

Scientists from Stanford University and NASA recently decided to measure the blooming trends of algae globally, reports. What they found was often discouraging, except for a few cases, among them Lake Balaton.

The American research team examined 71 lakes in 33 countries using the long satellite record from Landsat. They focused on summertime conditions in lakes with a surface area of at least 100 square kilometers, with different physical settings, latitudes, and levels of human impact. Then, using computers to analyze nearly 32,000 images spread across 28 years, they tried to detect strong near-infrared signals.

Summer Has Begun at Lake Balaton – Photo Album!

Phytoplankton (microscopic marine algae) blooms have high concentrations of chlorophyll, the same pigment that helps land-based plants absorb sunlight to make energy.

Chlorophyll tends to reflect near-infrared light and absorb blue and green light, so intense blooms produce strong near-infrared signals in infrared imagery.

Inspecting the phenomena is important because algal blooms can have a negative effect on drinking water supplies, agriculture, fishing, and tourism.

LMP Calls on Gov’t to Fund Balaton Environmental Protection

One of the reasons for this is nutrient overloading through fertilizers being washed into the water, as phosphorous and nitrogen can lead to the growth of massive colonies of algae. As they are depleting oxygen in the water, they can be harmful and toxic to marine life and humans as well.

The end result of the study seems rather surprising. Scientists found that only six out of the 71 studied lakes showed sustained improvements. Lake Balaton is among those six.

According to the research team, the improvement is likely due to the local governments’ efforts which have put a lot of energy into a water management plan to reduce nutrient pollution. Another major contributing factor might be that the water temperature of the Balaton experienced little to no warming over time.

John Newton (b. London, England, 1725; d. London, 1807) was born into a Christian home, but his godly mother died when he was seven, and he joined his father at sea when he was eleven. His licentious and tumultuous sailing life included a flogging for attempted desertion from the Royal Navy and captivity by a slave trader in West Africa. After his escape he himself became the captain of a slave ship. Several factors contributed to Newton's conversion: a near-drowning in 1748, the piety of his friend Mary Catlett, (whom he married in 1750), and his reading of Thomas à Kempis' Imitation of Christ. In 1754 he gave up the slave trade and, in association with William Wilberforce, eventually became an ardent abolitionist. After becoming a tide… Go to person page >

Adding Digital Annotations on Physical Books

Submitted by George Krasadakis
one year ago
A mobile app for book readers which allows adding digital comments or questions on a specific paragraph or sentence in order to enrich the book with user-generated content. Users benefit by organizing and discovering book metadata digitally - faster and without damaging the physical book when they need to take notes or annotate text in the book.
The scenario: you are reading a physical book — novel, technical or other. You are at an important point/ paragraph where you need help or you want to add a comment, take a note or ask a question.

What if you could use your smartphone to seamlessly submit your notes or discover popular notes from other users — on the particular paragraph or sentence you are currently reading? This is how it could work: You point your smartphone on a paragraph or a phrase in the physical book. Then the ‘book annotation app’ instantly performs the following steps:

1. Extracts the paragraph/ part of the page you are pointing the device— by using OCR (optical character recognition)

2. Uses the extracted paragraph/ text to perform a full-text-search against a large database of books — via a service call to Google’s Book API or similar.

3. Receives the response from the API — including the identifier of the book, metadata about the book and positioning information — a reference to the paragraph and page where the match was found.

4. Retrieves user-generated-content and metadata about the specific paragraph/ phrase/ page of the identified book.

5. Presents the summarized user-generated content to the user via the app — possibly in an Augmented Reality mode and/ or with voice support.

6. The user interacts with voice — to explore user-generated content and/ or append private or public comments on the identified paragraph of the book.

Alternatively, step 1 above, could be omitted, if the app fully supports Voice-driven interaction: instead of scanning the page and doing OCR to retrieve the text, the user could ask his/her Digital Assistant: ‘Google/Alexa/Siri/Cortana, tell me more about the paragraph starting with {Reads the start of the paragraph}’. Then, by applying speech to text, the process moves on to step 2.

Mexican Street Corn Salad

by Olena

5 from 6 reviews

My healthy version of Mexican Street Corn Salad where fresh or frozen corn is tossed with light yogurt mayo lime dressing, cilantro and sprinkled with feta cheese. It is an easy summer salad and perfect for a potluck.

Love corn in salads? Check out our corn avocado salad and healthy taco salad.

Mexican Street Corn Salad

Mexican Corn Salad

This Mexican street corn salad is my healthy version of elotes – grilled corn slathered in mayo, crema (something between sour cream and crème fraîche), cotija cheese, cilantro and chile (chili) powder.

We saw elotes sold on every major street corner while living in Cabo for a month. Can we call it esquites? Um, yeah, probably not since mature corn boiled in salted water and then sautéed in butter is not involved.

Let’s just say this Mexican corn salad is summer-y, sweet, creamy, cheesy, easy healthy corn salad. It will disappear fast at any gathering!

Ingredients You Will Need

  • Corn: I recommend fresh corn. But frozen corn works just as well.
  • Feta cheese: Feta cheese is a great substitute to traditional Mexican cheese cotija (I find feta more salty). It adds essential creaminess and saltiness to the salad.
  • Yogurt and mayo: I added just the right proportions of mayo and yogurt because Mexican street corn salad recipe is not complete without mayo. And too much mayo makes it unhealthy and too much mayo-ey.
  • Spices: Cayenne pepper, lime, salt and pepper. Make salad as spicy as you like.

Tip: You can absolutely add a few diced avocados. They add more creaminess. Also juicy tomatoes would be good. Especially in July-August when corn is at its prime.

How to Pick Fresh Corn at the Store

There is nothing better than local juicy, sweet, plump and bright yellow corn.

  • Check corn for quality right at the store – shucking a bit at the top or completely. Many stores provide garbage bin solely for this purpose.
  • Look for corn that is wrapped tightly in its green husks.
  • Corn silk should be soft, perky and moist.
  • Pick only good looking ears with white or yellow kernels in tight rows that are plump.

How to Cook Corn and Make Salad

Mexican corn salad can be made with grilled, charred, roasted or boiled corn.

To cook corn:

  • On the stove: Add corn to a large enough pot so it is fully submerged in water. Salt water generously to help bring out corn’s flavor. Cook corn by boiling it for 10 minutes.
  • In Instant Pot: This is by far my favorite method to cook corn. No need for large pot, lots of water and waiting it to boil. Just add corn and 1 cup water to electric pressure cooker and cook on High Pressure for 2 minutes with Quick Release. Keeps house cool in summer too.
  • On the grill: Grill corn without the husk on medium heat for 20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes or so.

To make salad:

  • Remove kernels from cooked corn on the cob. Let ears of corn cool down enough so you can hold it. Using a sharp knife, stand kernel upright and cut off kernels as close to the core as possible.
  • Combine all ingredients like corn, mayo, yogurt, feta, cilantro, lime juice, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper in a large bowl. No need to make dressing separately and  just gently toss to coat.

Serving Suggestions

I love this salad both warm and cold. But probably warm a tad bit more. Hot corn melts the feta cheese adding to the creaminess of the dressing with delicious spices. Yum! Makes me feel like I’m eating a jar of mayo but we are not. However, leftovers taste just as good cold.

Serving suggestions:

Make Ahead and Leftovers

You can definitely prepare this easy Mexican corn salad ahead. In fact, the longer salad sits, more flavorful it becomes.

Make ahead: If you like salad warm, refrigerate all ingredients in a bowl covered for up to 48 hours. Add warm cooked corn right before serving and toss. If you don’t mind cold Mexican corn salad, you can refrigerate salad assembled but not stirred for up to 48 hours.

Store: Leftovers will keep well for up to 48 hours in the fridge. I feel like this easy Mexican corn salad is very hard to mess up. Firm outer shell corn kernels are so forgiving and there are no soggy vegetables involved.

  3. In a large salad bowl, add corn, cilantro, feta cheese, lemon or lime juice, yogurt, mayo, salt, cayenne and black pepper to taste.
  4. Stir gently and serve warm or cold. Welcome to the streets of Mexico!

olena osipov in the studio

Hello and welcome to iFOODreal.

My name is Olena Osipov. I'm a mom to 2 boys and a wife to Alex. And this is our healthy family recipes blog. I grew up in Ukraine on real food. As an adult, I tried many diets without results. Now for over 10 years, I cook quick and easy healthy meals for my family. I can help you with “What’s for dinner?” too.

What You Will Find Here

Healthy family recipes with simple ingredients. Many are inspired by my Ukrainian heritage. I share mostly dinner recipes because it just never ends... I’m obsessed with healthy freezer meals. And more than in love with my Instant Pot.

A Little More About Me

Originally from Ukraine, I now reside on magic Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada with my family. I started this blog in 2012 when I ended up at home with 2 small kids unemployed and a wee bit chubby.

  1. I made this yesterday and it was a huge hit with my family. Due to California heat I used the Instant Pot to cook the corn. Super simple, fast and didnt heat up my kitchen. The corn came out absolutely perfect. The dressing was easy to make with simple healthy ingredients. We actually like this healthy version better than the standard versions. I found that with the last unshucked corn cob that we can just slather the dressing on no problem, if we want to save time. My eldest son finished the leftovers for breakfast!! It true that this is delicious both hot and cold. Thank you Olena for such a wonderful, simple, easy, healthy and delicious recipe site. It is now my go-to!

    1. I’m so happy your family loved the recipe. Thanks for sharing that with me, Amber! Send me some of your heat. We are “dying” from this November summer in Vancouver.

  2. SO DELICIOUS!!! Everyone raved about it when I made it for a get together!

    On a side note, I want to tell you how much your recipes have revived my love of cooking good food for our family!!! I got into a serious rut of unorganized and hit-or-miss Pinterest recipes from all over the web (with ingredients we don’t normally keep on hand), or trying to make my own “healthy” food from my not-so-healthy favorite cookbook (lots of experimenting), but feeling discouraged by the meals that didn’t turn out quite right. And then I found your website, and I have been cooking SO much delicious food and snacks that my picky kids have LOVED!! I reorganized my recipe binder, and ripped all of my old recipes out, and I’ve printed out TONS of your recipes as my go-to favorites. So, from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!!! 🙂

    If you ever make a cookbook, I will be first in line to buy it!

  3. This was absolutely delicious. Forget anything else on the plate. Even my teeny-weeny 98-lb. mother-in-law, who eats less than a bird, was begging for a second helping! One of the best things I’ve made all year, and I’m even going to include it in our Thanksgiving dinner, because I want to eat it again. 🙂 Thank you for this recipe!

  4. I love sweet corn and this sounds yummy and I will definitely make your meatballs with it too for more protein.

  5. I love sweet corn and this sounds good. I hate people who leave the corn uncovered in the stores and let them dry out though. That is not good at all. I will definitely try this recipe with your meatballs too for protein. Yum!

    1. That’s a good point! I buy some of that corn because to me it doesn’t look that bad. I’m less picky. Overall, I think it’s not a huge dent on food waste issue.:)

  6. I have a slight fear of corn because I’ve read that it’s one of the most genetically modified foods out there. Do you think local fresh corn is safe? I might be totally wrong on this, so would you please share your thoughts? I could go without regular old corn on the cob, but this salad! I need it! I have everything to make it except the corn! Thanks for so many great recipes.

    1. Usually local corn is non-GMO whenever I asked. In packages in Costco and big giants I’m not so sure, I wouldn’t trust Walmart for sure. But find local stand or even supplier to local store, and ask. What about farmer’s market? Usually it’s non-GMO corn. GMO corn is mainly grown for feed and making vegetable oil. For consumption less chances.:)

      1. Thanks for the feedback. My parents live out in the country and have a neighbor/ farmer who grows corn and sells it. I may still have time to get some before he runs out!

Most credit union members and prospects are intimidated by the many product options and variables that are offered to them on a credit union website. By using Ignite’s dynamic conversation guides, members feel much more confident about moving forward and opening an account online. By effectively guiding members to wise choices through digital channels, credit unions are able to turn digital channels into a much more productive vehicle to increase member financial wellness and improve member loyalty.

Using Ignite technology in branch Kiosks is a game changer for credit unions seeking to significantly improve the space and resource efficiency of the branch while concurrently improving the member experience. In particular, for those migrating to more of a café branch setting, using Ignite guided conversation technology in a kiosk will allow members to engage with the credit union at their own pace, easily open accounts through the kiosk and then exercise the option of visiting in person with a member specialist if they have further questions or need more in depth assistance.

Contact Center

There are various ways in which to effectively use Ignite technology in a contact center. One way is to use Ignite to support credit union associates making outbound calls to pre-selected leads. The member specialist making the call to the prospect or current member can:

  • Send a link to the guide so the member can complete the guided conversation prior to the discussion with the credit union associate
  • The credit union associate can prefill the guide with known information about a current member and then engage with a very efficient conversation
  • Use Ignite to guide the live conversation with the member to discover their financial needs and guide them to wise financial choices

Lines of Business

  • Consumer

  • Small Business

  • Lending

Member Services

Over 75% of consumers say they are interested in receiving financial advice or guidance from their financial institution, but very few actually receive it. When credit unions make the strategic decision to use Ignite technology to guide members to wise financial choices—either through the branches or digital channels—they significantly improve their ability to positively impact the financial lives of members, improve the ability of credit union associates to be consistently highly effective with every member engagement opportunity and create deeper, longer lasting relationships.

Small Business Services

Small business owners need help and guidance. Most of them are so focused on cash flow and growing their business, they simply don’t have the time to learn and explore all the financial options available to them that could significantly help their business. In fact, 40% of small business owners admit they are essentially financially illiterate. Credit Unions using Ignite guided conversation technology can make a real, tangible difference in the lives of small business owners by empowering branch credit union associates to be very capable of discovering the financial needs of small businesses and guiding them to wise financial choices, and by providing guided conversations directly to small businesses online.

Lending Services

It’s no secret that credit unions are a very popular source for consumer loans due to the very favorable terms and rates compared with banks. Using Ignite technology to discover the needs and circumstances of members through branch and online channels, credit unions can significantly increase the number of opportunities to discuss lending options with members and prospects and guide them to wise financial choices.

Hello Citizen,

Fear not for the struggles you face in this moment – be they money, relationships, war, or famine. These are impermanent and temporary concerns that plague every member of the human species regardless of wealth or power or prestige.

Hardships exist to harden the armor surrounding your soul. No one is free from their clutches. But know that you are always safe in the Light.

Your life is filled with many choices that determine your future. Sometimes you may wonder why things must be so hard and why some must struggle while others live in greatness. Is this truly fair?

Remember that wealth is a lie. Money is merely words.

The rich are no different from the poor and the haves are no different from the have-nots: all are bodies dressed in clothes paying for things with paper and stone.

Who decrees that gold is of more value than sand? Who claims that a paper with a number printed on it is more valuable than a fruit that grows on a tree? When one is hungry, they cannot eat paper or gold.

Words are the true power of the elite. Words say that printed paper and polished rocks can be traded for food and water and shelter. Words say that numbers on a bank’s computer screen determine one human’s value to be higher than another’s.

Words are the wealth of the wealthy. Knowledge is the power of the powerful.

If your life is faced with struggles, remember the power of the mind. Remember that your brain bears no physical difference from that of a millionaire, a billionaire, a queen or a president. Remember that those of power were born with minds as empty of knowledge as every other child — their choices of what to fill their minds with led them to a life of Abundance.

The choices you make now determine your life’s road. Fear not for where you are today.

We are always watching out for you.

Beer and Loathing Beer Cocktail

beer and loathing

This beer cocktail from Los Angeles bartender Karen Grill “balances the bitter notes of the Italian aperitif Aperol with tart citrus, honey, and a pleasant herbal flavor from marjoram.” Grill makes the cocktail with a California Saison from LA’s Smog City Brewing Company, but a crisp pilsner will also work.

¾  oz. Aperol
¾  oz. fresh grapefruit juice
½ oz. lemon juice
½ oz. rich honey syrup*
2 sprigs marjoram, plus 1 for garnish
3-4 oz. saison
Tools: shaker, strainer, peeler
Glass: collins or rocks
Garnish: twist of grapefruit peel

Combine the Aperol, citrus juices, honey syrup, and marjoram in a shaker and shake with ice. Strain into an ice-filled collins or rocks glass. Top with saison and garnish with the marjoram and grapefruit peel.

Rich Honey Syrup
1 ½ cup honey
½ cup boiling water
In a small bowl, stir the honey and water until combined. Let it cool and store in a sealed glass bottle.

Are Nootropics Safe? Minimizing Risks!

Brain improvement Brain supplements

Brain supplements are gaining popularity as the years go by. They have been found to help with improving different aspects of the brain like memory, attention, focus, learning and thinking abilities, concentration, moods, reducing anxiety and depression and are nootropics safeso many more.

And while people become more and more interested in them, people are getting concerned about their safety and reliability. In fact, almost everyone seeking to look into nootropics as an option to enhance their mind, are having this big question, “Are nootropics safe?”

Well, the main aim of this post is to discuss this question at length and provide a reliable answer based on studies that will help you make the right choice as far as nootropics are concerned.

Are Nootropics Safe?

Going by research, clinical trials and user reports, brain supplements are generally safe and have beneficial effects if taken by users responsibly.

And there is more to this than meets the eye.

See, when it comes to nootropics, there are different varieties of brain supplements that fall in this name. There are natural supplements and synthetic ones as well as those that have been well researched on and tested, and those that have had little research and trials.

Some of the well known natural brain supplements include bacopa Monierri, Gingko Biloba and Ashwagandha, to mention just a how brain supplements worklfew, while the synthetic ones include Aniracetam, Piracetam and Oxiracetam among others.

The difference is in how they are made but all of them have shown good results in improving the different areas of the brain they have been associated with.

In the category of research and trials, a good example of a supplement that has been well researched on is Piracetam since it is the first racetam to be made and has been around for decades now.

A supplement that has not been well researched on is Fasoracetam. Although the few studies on it have brought out very positive and promising results.

The bottom line is, it is pretty difficult to give a final judgement on brain supplements as a whole because there are many factors that come into play as well as the wide variety of nootropics there are, but there are certain factors that can be looked into when using them to increase safety and maximize the benefits.

This is what we are going to look at in the next section.

Factors That Influence The Performance of Nootropics

1. Nootropic Based Factors

* Dosage – There is always a dosage that comes with every smart drug that the experts recommend you work with to get the benefits the said drug is known to provide.

It is important to follow the dosage strictly as it is based on the research done on the supplement as well the human and animal studies carried out.

Normally, before setting the dosage as the official dosage, trials are done on people and animals for different dosages and the one that shows optimal results is set as the official dosage.

Dosages higher than the recommended one are mostly known to cause side effects or reverse effects.

Reverse effects associated with smart drugs are when you take a drug to reduce a brain related issue and end up making the issue worse instead.

This is due to taking more than what was listed in the bottle. That is why it is quite essential to confirm that the dosage you are working with is the right one and stick to it.

Also, be sure to start with the minimum dosage and slowly increase the dosage (where it is recommended) and only when it is necessary.

* Frequency of the doses – The other dosage related aspect that affects the safety of brain enhancing drugs is how often you are taking them.

There are those supplements you are advised to take continuously for a period of a month to maximize the benefits while there are those that need only a few hours to release their abilities.

For those that take a few weeks or so, it is wise to take them using cycles. Cycles are having a period when you are taking the how dosage affects safety of nootropicssupplements and then a following period when you give your body a rest from them, then get back to them a while after.

Normally, the best cycle is having a whole month where you are taking the supplements and then a whole month break from them. After that, you take them again for a month and then another month’s break. And keep following the cycle.

This not only keeps you safe from building tolerance that would require you to have a higher dosage that could put your health at risk, it has also been proven to be the best method of working with this category of nootropics.

For the supplements that take a few minutes to kick in and then last for a few hours, you are supposed to take them only when you need them.

Avoid having them on a daily basis or thinking of creating a daily routine for them. This will keep you in good balance and help you avoid becoming addicted to them (for some drugs) or build tolerance.

* Stacking – Sometimes, it is good to take two nootropics at the same time since studies have shown there are nootropics that enhance the performance of other nootropics.

This is known as stacking. A good example is taking any racetams like Aniracetam together with a choline supplement like CDP Choline and the like, because it helps keep choline choline levels in your body at peak for many benefits.

However, you should make sure that the drugs you are about to stack go well together as not all of them do. Some cause a harming effect when taken alongside others.

For example, modafinil is known to work against anti depressants, treatments for ADHD and MAO (Monoamine Oxidase) inhibitors.

Research profile of the nootropic – As earlier mentioned, there are supplements that have been well researched on and those that haven’t gotten numerous research and trials but have shown great abilities with the little research done on them.

Mostly, the ones that have had studies and trials on them are the ones that have were developed or discovered years ago while the new ones are mostly the ones that have little research, although not all.

It is your responsibility to take time and know the research profile of the nootropic that you want to use before using it.

Working with the well researched ones than the less researched ones reduces the risk of the side effects or other unknown negative effects that come with the ones that have not been fully studied.

2. Individual Based Factors

* Other medications being used – This is another critical element to consider when you want to get into nootropics. It is always advisable to visit your doctor before having any supplements, especially when you are on medications for other health How medication affects nootropics safetyconditions.

The thing is, there are supplements that have a good interaction with the medications and others don’t go so well with them and could end up causing more problems for you.

For instance, you are advised not to take Gingko Biloba together with medications like blood thinners, aspirin and NSAID (Nonsteroidal anti inflammatory drugs) pain relievers.

* Age – Reports indicate that the most common users of brain supplements are young adults (youths) and teens. These are biggest users of brain enhancers.

However, it is believed that people who used the supplements below the age of 25 could have adverse effects.

This is not proven yet but there are high chances it could be true since the nootropics normally interfere with the natural development of the brain, which takes about 25 years for the brain to be fully developed.

It also affects maturation of the brain especially when stimulants are used.

* Chemistry of the body – The chemistry of the body differes from one person to another. That is why you will find some brain supplements will have really rewarding benefits for one person while they won’t work for another person.

This is true not only with supplements but even with medications. That is why it is always recommended you check with a doctor before you start using any brain drugs.

* Health condition before using nootropics – Your health condition as you opt for nootprics is a huge factor to keep in mind.

Experts advise you, as the user, to be healthy before you take the supplements, or have the condition the supplement you want to take is known to handle.

That means, if you want to take a memory supplement, make sure you have a memory condition.

If you have any other existing health issues before taking a nootropic, you could be putting your health in danger, especially if you don’t consult a doctor.

Health issues like heart disease, diabetes and liver disease, to name a few, could put you in more harm if you went for nootropics without professional medical advice.

Tips For Safety to Keep in Mind When Taking Nootropics

Here are things you should always consider before you go for any nootropic:

1. Follow the recommended dosage – See that you work with the advised dosage for the particular nootropic you want to use.follow nootropics dosage In the case of a dosage that ranges from one quantity to another, start with the lowest dosage and increase it with time, only when it is needed.

Low doses have proven to have maximum benefits while high doses in other cases have shown to affect the way the nootropic is known to work.

2. Consider cycling – Where cycling is needed, be sure to follow the cycle as strictly as possible.

If you take high doses of a supplement for a long period of time without any breaks, you may get side effects and also find yourself having built tolerance that will need you to increase the dosage which could put you in danger of addiction, dependence and affect your normal brain function.

3. Use nootropics only when you need them – Intead of creating a routine for them, seek to use them only during the time you feel you really need them. This will keep you away from the negative effects of long term use.

4. Avoid stacking without medical advice – Only stack nootropics when you are advised to by an expert, don’t do it yourself. Chances of increasing health risk are high if you use many nootropics from different manufacturers all at once.

5. Don’t expect magical effects from nootropics – While brain supplements are based on scientific study and are known to work, don’t have high expectations from them.

There is this tendency to want to be a genius using brain supplements as depicted in the movie and series “Limitless” which is close to impossible.

Know that they provide a good deal of boost to the brain but cannot be used in place of your normal lifestyle. Also, use them while living a healthy lifestyle.

6. Do your research on nootropics before using them – Before you purchase a supplement, know their mechanism of action, how long their effects last in you, how long it takes before you get the benefits, the side effects associated with them, their interaction with other medications and nootropics, if any side effect could really be harmful, how taking them affect your sleeping patterns and any other information you feel might be crucial.

As a piece of advice, work with the more researched supplements over the ones with little background information.

7. Make a visit to your doctor before supplementing – It is always important to take cognitive boosters that work well with your body’s chemistry and your health status. And you can only be sure of this by paying a visit yo your doctor before you get started.

In conclusion, it is essential you know that generally, many brain supplements are considered safe to use (as there are even other that have been approved as medications in different countries), but be particularly careful with the ones that have little background information as they may have unknown problems.

If taken as directed and with care, nootropics can serve a good benefit to the users.

  1. Definitely truth! I agree with you that the first decision is to visit a doctor before adding supplements intake. Further, nootropics are generally safe I guess though the factors you presented are spot on and needs to be given serious considerations before taking nootropics. I have been using nootropics and it helps me well especially when I’m overly fatigued and I need to sort out works or my writings. Great information in this article, Dave.

    1. Thanks Tracy for stopping by,

      Glad to have your contribution.

      Have a wonderful day!

  2. Henderson says:

    There are many issues associated with the use of nootropics. You have talked about them here. Many people think that the use is very dangerous but this is because many people misuse it. Some has fallen to it as a life line and therefore have become addicted to the usage. Some do not get to the doctor before making use of it. You have given good factors that affect the effectiveness of this supplement. Great one!

    1. You are right Henderson,

      Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

      Highly appreciated!

  3. Thank you for this article. I appreciate your tips on not becoming overly dependent on them or building tolerance. I was wondering about that because I thought if someone was taking it consistently every day then it would be weird to go without it.

    So just to be clear, you don’t recommend taking nootropics like every morning for example? You would say just have it a few times a week or something? Or are there ones that you could just take every morning as kind of a vitamin type thing? I guess I like things that I can just do in a routine way.

    1. Hallo there,

      Nice to have you here.

      Well, the information is based on research, studies and user reports so it would be best to work with it as is the safest way to work with nootropics.

      Always try to work with cycles for long term based nootropics or use them when you really need them for those that provide an almost instant effect.

      Hope this helps.

  4. I would take it with a doctor’s prescription to be sure. Or ask first my family doctor if it is safe for me, so when there will be problems or side effects, he would know how to handle them.

    You are right, there should be a need before taking them.

    Thanks for this valuable information.

    1. You are always welcome Marita. 🙂

    Dear Dave,

    Thanks a lot for letting us know one of the well-known brain supplement Nootropics. You explain everything about Nootropics very well that reader will find very helpful. As we know before we need supplement for a different body part. But most of the people still don’t know our brain needs a supplement as well. As you describe in this article how Nootropics works to improve the work of brain function and you said the age requirement as well. Do you think anyone with learning disability can take this type of medicine? Becsuse I know someone who is that situation and was trying to take Nootropics, but not sure about the type of condition.

    1. Hallo there Nahar,

      A doctor’s visit will come really in handy as they will get professional help based on their particular condition.

      Hope this helps.

  6. My grandma had used notroopics some time in the past to enhance her brain performance and it worked well without side effects . But recently I have been forgetting things really easily and anxiety have been playing games with me. This have kept me in a really difficult position. I wish to try some notroopics but I get scared of side effects alot considering the difference in human body. Reading through this post have given me some sort of confidence as to using it. Thanks for this useful information.

    1. You are welcome Dane.

      Glad we helped. 🙂

  7. SeunJeremiah says:

    Thanks for this informative and educative post, scientific studies are largely in favor of this habit. Therefore, for an  healthy individual looking for that much needed mental boost in life,  might want to ponder upon this option and examine the kind of possibilities and detriments it might link them up with. I’ll be looking forward to more articles from you on nootropics that has less or no side effects. Thanks for sharing.

    1. Nice to have you here Jeremiah,

      More interesting posts on nootropics coming right up. 🙂

Europe's newest gas link set to hit Gazprom prices around the Baltic Sea

* Balticconnector set to start operation on Jan. 1, 2020

* Connects Finland to Estonia under the Baltic Sea

* Breaks Russian Gazprom’s monopoly on supply to Finland

* Finland could also export surplus Russian gas to Baltics

* Pipeline is a 300 million-euro EU-funded project

By Lefteris Karagiannopoulos

OSLO, Nov 27 (Reuters) - Europe’s first new gas interconnector in a decade, linking Finland and Estonia from January, will weaken Gazprom’s hold on the Baltic Sea region and spark price competition, the pipeline’s owners said.

The pipeline, called Balticconnector, will help Finland diversify its gas supplies which are solely Russian, and can also send gas to the Baltics, whose gas comes from Russia and Lithuania’s Klaipeda liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal.

Although the pipeline will partly carry Russian gas, it is a mostly European Union (EU)-funded project, with the EU covering 75% of its 300 million euro ($330.81 million) cost. Its owners, Finland’s Baltic Connector and Estonia’s Elering cover the rest.

In the absence of other piped supplies from Europe at the time of its opening, Balticconnector will only carry gas from Russian entry points in Finland and the Baltics, regasified LNG from Klaipeda, or stored gas from Latvia’s Incukalns.

Prices between them vary as Russia has different supply contracts in Finland and the Baltics, the stored gas value is seasonal and weather-related, while LNG follows the global market. Abundant and cheap LNG has already reduced Gazprom’s share of the wider European market.

Gazprom may have to change its pricing in Finland to compete against LNG, the pipe’s owners told Reuters.

“Αs Gazprom supply contracts are different for the different countries then there is also competition between these contracts... There is more import capacity of Russian gas in the region than LNG,” Elering’s market development manager Erkki Sapp said.

Baltic Connector’s Chief Executive Herkko Plit also expected Gazprom to lower its prices.

“Remember what happened in Klaipeda when the terminal opened there? Gazprom dropped their prices by 20%. Gazprom might, as an active player in the (Finnish-Baltic) market, adjust their prices accordingly,” he told Reuters.

Gazprom’s prices may also come under further pressure from 2022. A connecting pipeline between Lithuania and Poland, GIPL, is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2021, providing physical access to the gas infrastructure in central Europe.

Gazprom did not reply to a request for comment. Its data show the firm exported 2.6 billion cubic metres (bcm) of gas to Finland in 2018, 1.3 bcm to Latvia, 1.4 bcm to Lithuania and 0.4 bcm to Estonia.

Russia’s National Energy Security Fund, a think tank whose views are usually in line with Gazprom’s, told Reuters that it didn’t expect Balticconnector to be of much use.

“The pipeline may not be filled with gas at all. In order to fill it, it is necessary for Finland to buy more gas from Gazprom and for Estonia to offer a higher price. I don’t think it makes sense now,” its deputy director for gas Alexey Grivach told Reuters.

“Balticconnector is a typical example of a redundant infrastructure that was built only to absorb money from the EU and create a mythical connection of markets that can be used only once in 10 years,” he added.

Elering’s Sapp did not share the concern, adding that some market participants had even worried whether the pipe’s capacity was sufficient.

Mark Cuban independent presidental option?

Release: Lawsuit Challenges Texas Ballot Access Laws

Spread the love

Thank you, Mark Cuban, shark for democracy

Mark Cuban, shark for democracy

BIG news for Texas Independents! With some powerful pro-bono legal chops from Shearman & Sterling and the non-profit Center for Competitive Democracy -- against the unfair petition rules for independents and minor parties in Texas -- independent voters hit the news!

The suit was filed within days Ross Perot's passing. Perot had the deep pockets to afford a "world class" campaign in 1992 and 1996. But you shouldn't have to be a billionaire to run.

That is why it is remarkable for another Texas independent billionaire, Mark Cuban, to be a supporter of the challenges, like this, to open up Texas ballot access laws. He can afford it, like Ross Perot.

Today, we continue the battle for competitive elections. It's all about the millions of voters in Texas who want more choices, regardless of their voting status.

Check out this August 9, 2019 article in Texas Lawyer about the heavyweights providing pro-bono services for this important litigation: Big Law Pro Bono Counsel Backs Texas Ballot-Access Lawsuit _ Texas Lawyer

PS A founder of LIV, Michele Gangnes, Esq., and LIV Advisory Board member, Mark Miller, are independent plaintiffs in this litigation. Much of the news coverage has focused on the Libertarian and Green parties, who are important to this suit. But the impact of this litigation is most dramatic when you think about that more Texans are independent than those who identify with any party. This includes many people who vote in the Texas open primaries in either major party. Texas independents are likely at least about 38% in 2019. (National Gallup Polls have tracked independents since 2004 -- see here.)
