I think it's important, a lot of times, to be able to put down on paper what is easily
forgotten.
You come through a trial and you say, 'Well, I got a great result.
I cleaned up this river.
I got this pharmaceutical off the market.
I exposed a Wall Street thug who's stealing from mom and pop pension programs.
I've done these things.'
When we do that every day, it becomes such a norm and you feel, 'Okay, that's my job,'
but then you understand and you tell a story to somebody about any one of these cases and
they're jaw drops.
I saw it so many jaws drop over the years that I said, "Well, gee, this seems to ... Let's
put this into a story.
Let's put it into a fiction story, dress it up a little bit, maybe kill off a few that
in real life weren't killed off, and make it.
Nevertheless, tell the story."
And so, what I always try to do is find the time to do that.
I'm able to write late at night, early in the morning.
I've got great editors that work with me.
They have been helpful in directing me in the ways that I need to be directed as I write.
It's really been a process that allows me to tell stories that unfortunately will never
be told because corporate media can't tell these stories.
It's very difficult for corporate media to tell many of these stories when you have a
product that's produced by a major pharmaceutical manufacturer and that manufacturer may be
an advertiser for your corporate entity.
It's very difficult.
We, matter of fact, handled the ... we actually were involved very beginning of the tobacco
litigation.
Early on, we saw the corporate media unable to tell the story about what the tobacco industry
knew about the dangers of cancer and heart disease and smoking because they had such
a huge part of the revenue coming in from advertisers.
These aren't stories that you're going to turn on the nightly news and hear about because
they can't tell them.
They're not permitted to.
They're MBA managers say, 'Well, are you nuts?
We're getting paid $10 million a year from this manufacturer.
You really going to tell a story that makes them look bad?'
Well, I don't have that limitation.
I don't have that problem in telling these stories.

President Moon directs cabinet members to come up with 'innovation-based' growth strategies - Duration: 1:23.
In a cabinet meeting this morning, President Moon Jae-in ordered his administration to
come up with a blueprint for economic growth led by innovation.
A major part of the Moon administration's economic policy... the concept was first introduced
by Moon while he was in New York, where he met with U.S. business leaders and investors.
(KOREAN) "It was there that I explained that our people-oriented
economic policy consists of three axes: jobs and income-led growth, innovation-led growth,
and a fair economy," ( , , , .)
The liberal leader pointed out... while income-led growth seeks to revive the economy by boosting
consumer demand...., innovation-led growth deals with the supply side.
He emphasized efforts to that end include the establishment of the new Ministry of SMEs
and Startups as well as the presidential committee on the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
However, the President noted there are still hurdles to overcome -- for one, there is still
no head of the startups ministry... and the work of the presidential committee has yet
to begin in earnest.
Moon directed his cabinet members to come up with ways to swiftly put the agenda into
practice.

North Korea failed to notice overfly of U.S. warplanes near east coast: NIS - Duration: 0:55.
Pyongyang most likely failed to detect the U.S. strategic bombers that flew in international
airspace off the North's east coast last weekend.
That's according to the South's National Intelligence Service.
However, the agency did note the flyover was carried out late at night and unannounced...
so North Korea may have not anticipated it at all, or it might have been unable to do
anything because its radars failed to detect the planes.
But shortly after the flyover, the hermit kingdom did relocate fighter jets to the east
coast and strengthened its security in the area.
The NIS also explained Washington decided to disclose the route taken by the B-1B bombers
since Pyongyang did not seem to have taken notice.
It added the communist state was carefully calculating every move, and directed its forces
to 'report first before taking any military measures' to prevent the crisis accidentally
spiraling into war.

History's Most Powerful Plants - Duration: 5:48.
Chances are, if you've turned on a lightbulb or a computer,
you've harnessed the power of some very ancient, and very strange … trees.
The vast majority of the electricity produced in human history has come from coal.
And like all fossil fuels, coal is made from the remains of extinct organisms that have
been exposed to millions of years of heat and pressure.
But in the case of coal, these organisms consisted largely of some downright bizarre plants that
once covered the Earth, from Colorado to China.
Meet the Lepidodendrales, also known as scale trees.
Named for their scaly looking bark, scale trees were tall plants topped with crowns
of branches that sported long, narrow leaves.
They thrived during the Carboniferous Period, from 299 million to 359 million years ago.
And they're partly why we call the Carboniferous ... the Carboniferous!
This period is named after the carbon-rich layers of sediment that formed from countless
millions of scale trees, ferns, and other early plants that died, piled up, and fossilized.
You know these layers as coal.
During the Carboniferous, much of the Earth was covered in lush forests and swamps, and
this is where the scale trees flourished, sometimes growing as tall as a 15-story building.
Their remains have been found throughout the Northern Hemisphere, but they're especially
common in North America, where fossilized roots, trunks, and leaves have been found
from almost every stage of the plant's life cycle.
And because we know so much about the anatomy of these trees, we know that they were very
different from the trees that you and I know today.
For one thing, they had no need for seeds!
This is because scale trees were a type of plant called lycopods, which originated way
back in the Silurian Period -- before seeds were even a thing!
Some lycopods are still around today, like the low-lying, water-loving club mosses and
quillworts.
But instead of having seeds, these plants reproduce by releasing tiny, single-celled
spores.
Scale trees produced cone-like pods that dropped their spores into the water below, to be whisked
away to the nearest patch of soil.
But lycopods were also the earliest vascular plants, which means they were the first plants
to contain xylem, a special tissue that moves water and nutrients from the roots to
the leaves.
This tissue is what allows modern trees to grow tall and straight, because it contains
lignin, a rigid organic polymer that gives the plant structural support.
But scale trees only produced a small amount of lignin.
And they also had much shallower anchoring roots than today's trees.
So how did they manage to grow so large without simply falling over?
Their secret was in their bark.
The outer layer of the scale tree, the periderm, was extremely thick and actually made up most
of the trunk.
This allowed scale trees to reach great heights -- some growing as large as 50 meters high
and more than 2 metres across!
But they were still a lot more delicate than the hardwoods you find in today's forests.
A single storm could probably knock down a whole swath of them.
And they didn't always look quite so majestic.
As juveniles, scale trees looked more like giant spikes sprouting out of the ground.
At this stage, they had no branches to speak of, so their leaves just grew right out of
the bark, in a spiral pattern.
As the trees matured and shed their leaves, diamond-shaped marks were left in the bark,
called leaf scars, giving the scale trees their name.
So, scale trees were weird by the standards of your modern oak or pine.
But when you're talking about evolutionary history, you can't really argue with results.
Scale trees were built to grow fast and die young, allowing them to spread across North
America, Europe and Asia, leaving huge swaths of organic matter in their wake.
At their peak, they made up nearly half the biomass in Europe and North America, and provided
food and shelter for the giant insects and early reptiles that called these forests home.
But the scale trees' success may also have led to their downfall.
Their vast forests pumped out huge amounts of oxygen, which was great for us animals.
But at the same time, the scale trees were also sucking up tons of CO2 from the atmosphere.
And back in the Carboniferous, many of the decomposing microbes that could break down
the hardy lignin -- and release CO2 as a result -- had yet to evolve.
So, over time, scads of scale trees collapsed and piled up, without decomposing, keeping
much of the CO2 that they had taken up, locked away in their tissues.
In addition to really putting the carbon in the Carboniferous, this storage of CO2 also
created a sort of reverse-greenhouse effect.
Falling CO2 levels, combined with a sudden burst in volcanic activity, plunged the Earth
into an early ice age.
The resulting extinction became known as the Carboniferous Rainforest Collapse, and the
scale trees were among its casualties.
A few species did manage to hang on, in places like Asia and South America, into the Permian
Period, but by 272 million years ago, the last of the scale trees were gone.
Nonetheless, these bizarre plants left behind a big legacy.
After living and dying in prolific numbers for millions of years, scale trees and other
early plants formed a thick layer of carbon-rich peat across much of our swampy world.
The peat was eventually buried, compacted, and exposed to extreme heat, turning into
coal.
And eventually, some hairless ape dug it up and burned it, releasing the energy that the
scale trees absorbed from the Carboniferous sun over 300 million years ago.
Think about that the next time you turn on a light, or charge your phone, or … watch
a video about natural history.
As plants go, scale trees were powerful.

How To Plan Your Day EFFECTIVELY! (2017) - Duration: 12:46.
Sunny Lenarduzzi: Prioritizing also means taking a look at what
you're having to do in your business or your life every day, that you'd rather not be doing,
or you shouldn't be doing, and it's not in your genius zone, so it's pulling away from
what you're really, really good at.
It's such a powerful exercise.
Hey boss, welcome to the Sunny Show, and ooh, this is a good topic that I have been waiting
to talk about.
It's so, so important.
If you're sitting there watching me with one eye, and have the other eye on your to-do
list, here's what we're going to do together right now.
No more to-do list, because it's not about having a list of need-to-dos all day long.
That's just straight up distracting.
Today we're going to talk about how to plan your day to be the most productive, present,
and pleasant to yourself.
Often, we're focused on all the activities, instead of the actual outcome and what you
really, really want in every aspect of your life.
We're going to replace your to-dos with your purpose.
I've actually created a Me First Day Planner, to plan your days around what you actually
want in your life, and in your business.
You can grab it below this video at the link, and I'll give you more details on it at the
end of the video, because ... and you might want to screen shot this so you can share
it on social ... If you're not taking care of yourself, you can't take care of anything
else.
Here are my five steps to planning your day on your terms.
Step number one is a me first mentality.
Let's be honest, that's not generally how we plan our days, it's usually, "What do I
need to do for everyone else?
What do I need to do for my business?"
And you kind of come last.
We're going to flip that script.
We're going to put you first.
What does that mean?
Well, I want to have one caveat here.
I know there's a lot of videos on my morning ritual, and this is how you should start your
day, and duh-duh-duh-duh-duh.
I'm not going to do that, because what I've come to realize is there's no one-size-fits-all.
What you need to do is find what works for you.
What gets you excited to get out of bed in the morning?
Some ideas perhaps, that could work for you, that have worked really well for me, is I
have a list of my biggest desires and outcomes that I want in the next six months to a year.
Personally, professionally, in my relationships, whatever it may be, I have these overarching
outcomes that are super specific, and I read them every morning when I wake up.
That gets me motivated for my greater purpose, to get out of bed, and get moving.
Another thing that works really well for me, is I don't touch technology first thing in
the morning.
Instead, I do something for myself, which means for me, I like to go for a run, or go
to the gym and do something to get moving.
Now, for other people that might mean getting up and meditating right away.
It might mean getting up, and just putting a smile on your face, or doing some deep breathing.
You really have to find what works for you as an individual, because we are all different.
All I want you to really understand here, is that you need to start your day in a really
good head space, and the only way to do that is to take care of yourself before you take
care of anything else.
What does that look like for you?
I'm going to challenge you to have that me first mentality right when you wake up.
Step number two, is simplify and focus on the outcome.
I'm just as guilty as anyone else of writing a long list of to-dos, and just keeping myself
busy by getting them all done, but that's not really feeding my soul, or really getting
to the core purpose of anything.
I think it's actually the best way to burn yourself out, because you're just doing busy
work, and you're not doing what you really want to be doing.
This is from Tony Robbins, it's his RPM system of planning, the Rapid Planning Method.
It's only focused on the outcome.
What does that mean?
Say in my business we want to increase sales of a specific product by 20% this month.
That is my overarching outcome.
It's specific, I know exactly what I want, and therefore the to-dos that lie underneath
that are going to be easy to understand, and they're going to be serving that greater purpose.
Or on a health level, maybe you want to lose X amount of weight, whatever that might be
for you, or increase your muscle mass by X percentage.
You want to keep your outcome super specific, and something that actually makes you excited.
That's going to be different for everybody.
Keep the outcome specific, and something that motivates you, so that it actually makes you
want to do what you need to do to achieve that outcome.
Now, I write these down, but I'm literally writing down these three outcomes each day,
no more.
I keep it simple, and then I write subtasks just for those outcomes, so I'm not busying
myself with a bunch of to-dos that aren't really necessarily, or I could be outsourcing
to somebody else.
And yes, I physically write down my to-do list still, because let's be honest, if you
pick up your phone, and your to-do list is on your phone, what's the first thing you
do when you pick up your phone?
Ooh, Instagram.
Ooh, Facebook.
Oh, notification on Twitter.
You're not focused on the to-do list ... which you shouldn't be anyways.
You're not focused on the outcome, you're focused on all the things that are pulling
at your attention, instead of focusing on what you want to be doing.
Step number three is really the subtasks of step number two.
Once you know the outcome that you want, you want to basically break that down into subtasks
of that outcome.
Basically, how are you going to achieve that outcome, and what can you be doing today to
help get you there?
Now, this doesn't mean achieving that entire outcome in one day, because I'm also guilty
of trying to do that, and that's just not realistic or possible.
It's taking baby steps towards that overarching outcome.
Creating intentional action steps is what I want you to do for step three.
Intentional action steps are not a to-do list, they're a to-love list.
They're what you're going to do to thrive every day, and achieve what you really want,
and your purpose and life and in business.
These intentional action steps need to be specific, they need to be doable, and broken
down into teeny tiny little baby steps, so you're not saying big things like what your
outcome is, like increase sales by 20%.
You put that down on your to-do list, you're going to be like, "Well, how do I actually
achieve that?"
Then it becomes this daunting and all-consuming task.
That can be your overarching outcome, but you want your subtasks to be intentional action
steps that are baby steps, that will slowly but surely ... or maybe fast ... get you to
your goals.
Step number four is prioritize.
Now, it's really, really important, because if you don't do this, again, you're just going
to get overwhelmed really easily, and it will kind of cause paralysis, and not doing anything
productive at all.
Prioritizing means taking a look at what you need to be doing that day to achieve those
overarching outcomes, and looking at it through the 80/20 lens, or the 90/10 lens, meaning
that if you put all of your effort into one task, what task is going to give you the best
outcome?
What's going to give you the biggest return on your investment of time?
That's the item that you probably want to be focused on first.
And also, which one is a timely task that needs to be done sooner than later, to achieve
that outcome?
Another way to look at this, is I travel a lot for work, I know a lot of you do as well,
so really putting that pressure on yourself, and saying, "If I had to go to town tomorrow
and disconnect from everything, what's the one thing that I need to get done in order
to achieve my outcome?"
That's going to really put it into context and perspective, instead of trying to achieve
everything at once.
Now, another thing about prioritizing in the day and age that we live in, is social media.
I recently did a post on the fact that I went off of social media for two weeks, and it
was one of the best things that I ever did.
I love it, it's part of my job, it's part of my business, but it needs to be done with
intent, and it can't be all-consuming throughout your day.
We are pulled by enough things throughout the day to take our attention away from ourselves,
and what we really want.
Social media needs to be done with your control.
What I like to try and do, and something that I've been implementing, is turning off all
notifications.
I have no notifications from Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, anything.
I only see what I see when I open the app, because if I wake up in the morning, or check
my phone at lunch time, and I have a bajillion notifications on my phone, what's the first
reaction?
Stress, anxiety, feeling like I need to be doing something.
That takes me away from my desired outcomes.
When it comes to social media, do what makes sense for you, so it's not pulling hour attention
away, and you're doing it on your terms.
What I also started doing is blocking times throughout the day, where I will intentionally
go on each platform to engage and post.
It's sometimes in 15 minute windows, or 30 minute blocks, and that's it.
Finally, the last part of prioritizing is something that I do for myself, and that I've
had my team do as well, so we can better optimize all of our roles, and that's creating a graph
with four categories.
You populate each of those with the tasks in your business that fit into each one.
Listen, you might not be able to outsource some of those tasks right at this moment,
but it helps to get it out of your head, and it actually starts manifesting what you want
to be outsourcing, and eventually will be able to hire for, whether it's an intern,
or a full-time employee.
Prioritizing also means taking a look at what you're having to do in your business or your
life every day, that you'd rather not be doing, or you shouldn't be doing, and it's not in
your genius zone, so it's pulling away from what you're really, really good at.
It's such a powerful exercise.
Plus, it's included in your Me First Day Planner, which the link to grab yours is below this
video.
Finally, step number five is make it real, and find your flow times.
Again, you probably heard people say, "The best time to do your hardest task is in the
morning," or, "The best time to do your hardest task is in the afternoon."
It's up to you.
You really have to find what works for you, and what your flow time is.
For me, I get my `best work done, weirdly, later at night.
I tried to force myself to do it in the morning, but it just doesn't work.
That ebbs and flows too.
Sometimes I'll go through a period of time where it's better for me to do my hardest
task in the morning, but you really have to find what works for you.
The other piece of this is actually blocking off and color coding different aspects of
your life that you're trying to prioritize, to reach those overarching outcomes.
In my calendar, I actually block off personal engagements, like hanging out with friends,
or going on a date night with my boyfriend, or needing to go to the doctor, whatever it
may be.
That's color coded in pink, and then my work list, which is going towards those outcomes
in work, are in blue.
I actually block off time.
It's not for meetings, it's just for me to focus on specific tasks, so I'm blocking everything
else out, and I can actually get it done.
Color code and block out your calendar for you, and what you want to be doing in every
aspect of your life.
I also put in my fitness workouts in the morning, and time to meal prep throughout the week,
so making sure that you actually have the time blocked off visually in your calendar.
One more bonus tip, is if you really want to feel calm and on top of things each day
as you go into your life and your business, one thing that I found to really help me,
and again, it's not one-size-fits-all, but this has really helped me, is reviewing my
intentional action steps each night.
So knowing what's in store for me the next day, and being able to then sit down and prioritize
with the 80/20, or the 90/10 rule or what's going to get me the best outcome, and what
I should be getting done the next day, and I highlight those items.
Now, you can grab your Me First Day Planner.

days around what you actually want first.

Senior population surpasses that of youth population for first time - Duration: 2:02.
More senior citizens than children.
Those aged 65 and up now account for almost 14 percent of South Korea's entire population.
The surest sign yet the country's on its way to becoming what's called a "super-aged society."
Won Jung-hwan looks beyond the digits.
Korea's senior population, or people aged 65 or older, has surpassed that of young people
for the first time this year.
According to data by Statistics Korea released on Tuesday, the nation the number of people
over 65 reached over 7 million in 2017, accounting for a record 13.8 percent of the total population.
With a record low birthrate and a prolonged life expectancy, this pace is likely to continue
in the future, and experts expect this figure to grow over 40 percent by 20-60.
The report shows that the nation's aged-child ration, or the percentage of people aged 65
or older to the number of children aged 14 or under, stood at one-hundred-four-point-eight
in 2017, surpassing the 100 mark for the first time.
The ratio was six-point-nine in 1960, 20 in 1990 and thirty-four-point-three in 2000,..
BUT rose sharply to fifty-point-four in 2006, and ninety-eight-point-six in 2016.
With Korea rapidly becoming an aged society, other social problems are rising as well,
such as an increase in the elderly dependency ratio, which is a measure indicating the number
of dependents to the working population aged between 15 to 64.
According to the data, the ratio of elderly population per 100 working-age population
stood at 18.8-percent,... BUT the figure is expected to surpass the 80-percent mark by
2060 if issues like low birth rate continue to push the country toward a super aged society.
