We have a lot of choices to make about our diet. Add to that, doing the right thing when it comes to preventing or treating a chronic disease, fighting a virus, or losing weight. And suddenly, our nutrition choices can seem almost overwhelming. Well, I'm here to help. Welcome to the Nutrition Facts Podcast. I'm your host, Dr. Michael Greger. Today we conclude our two-part series on fasting and cancer, and we start with a story about how the benefits of short-term fasting translate in the clinical setting. The first randomized prospective clinical evaluation of the effects of fasting on chemotherapy. The incidence of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in cancer patients was published in 2014, but the patients were dogs. Cancer-bearing dogs presenting at a veterinary hospital were randomized to be fasted for 24 hours before chemotherapy, and those that were were significantly less likely to suffer from vomiting, only 1 in 10 compared to 2 out of 3 in the non-fasted group, which is great, but what can that tell us about human medicine? Evidently, not much. It's nearly impossible to rely on most animal data to predict whether or not an intervention will have a favorable clinical benefit-risk ratio in human subjects. For example, mice have a metabolic rate approximately 7 times higher than humans, so a single day of fasting can cut lean body mass about 15%. It would take over a month of fasting in people, so that dramatic study on mice showing 100% alive versus 100% dead on high-dose chemo, depending on whether they were fasted for 60 hours, what can that really tell us? And when it comes to cancer, rodents compare massive tumor loads, whereas people generally waste away and die when tumor masses reach just a thousandth of our body weight. You can't even necessarily extrapolate from one rat to another, even within the same strain bought from different dealers. The only way to see what happens in humans, the only way to guarantee findings are relevant, is to study people. The theory is that combining fasting cycles with chemotherapy could extend the survival of advanced-stage cancer patients by both retarding tumor progression and reducing side effects, or even providing an alternative to chemotherapy all together in early-stage cancer patients, but that's all contingent on it being confirmed in human clinical trials. First, there were case series. Several patients diagnosed with a variety of cancers elected to undertake fasting prior to chemotherapy and shared their experiences. Those who underwent chemo both with and without fasting reported a reduction of fatigue, weakness, and gastrointestinal side effects while fasting. In fact, felt better across the board with zero vomiting in the fasting group. The weight loss during the first few days of fasting was rapidly recovered in most of the patients and did not lead to any detectable harm. So, overall, it was looking feasible, safe, with the potential to ameliorate side effects, but only randomized clinical studies could tell for sure, and so here we go. Breast and ovarian cancer patients fasting, starting 36 hours before and ending 24 hours after chemotherapy. And it did appear to improve the quality of life and fatigue, but another study found no such beneficial effects. There did appear to perhaps be less bone marrow toxicity, given the higher counts of red blood cells and platelet making cells, but no benefit when it came to killing off white blood cells, the immune system cells, so that was a disappointment. Perhaps they didn't fast long enough, they only fasted 24 hours before and after. To find out the optimal duration, 20 cancer patients who were split up into three groups, fasting for 24, 48, or a total of 72 hours, all those in the 24-hour group suffered nausea after chemo, but less than half in the 72-hour group, and most were vomiting in the 24-hour group, but none in the longest fasting group. Longer fasting groups also tended to suffer less nerve damage and less serious bone marrow suppression. Even after 24 hours of fasting, two cycles of chemo can knock people's white blood cells down to suboptimal levels, but with 72 hours, chemo knocked their immune system down, but not out. Okay, so short-term fasting may reduce chemotherapy-induced toxicity, but what I want to know is if it makes it work better. A systematic review of 22 studies found that overall, fasting was found to not only reduce chemotherapy side effects like organ damage, immune suppression, and chemotherapy-induced death, but also to suppress tumor progression, including tumor growth and metastases, resulting in improved survival, but nearly all the studies were done on lab animals. The studies on humans are limited to evaluating safety and side effects. The tumor suppression effects of fasting— for example, its influence on tumor growth, metastases, and prognosis— have not been evaluated until now to be continued. In our final story, we ask, how might we replicate the protective effects of fasting with food? Short-term food withdrawal during chemotherapy may begin to solve the long-standing problem with most cancer treatments.  Short-term fasting, for example, for 48 hours before chemo and 24 hours afterwards, may reduce side effects, reduce chemotherapy-induced toxicity. However, the potential tumor suppressing effects of fasting, for example, its influence on tumor growth, metastases, and prognosis, have not been evaluated until now. No, actually, sadly, they mean have not been evaluated until now, meaning have not been evaluated yet, period. So, in answering the question, to fast or not to fast before chemotherapy, it should be emphasized that the evidence provided by human studies is still very limited. Some argue that reducing the side effects alone could improve efficacy since patients could withstand higher doses. For example, the heart and kidney damage associated with widely prescribed anti-cancer drugs limit their full therapeutic potential. It's not clear, though, that maximizing the tolerated chemo dose would achieve longer survival or better quality of life. For now, I think we should just be satisfied with the fewer side effects for fewer side effects sake. Some cancer docs urge caution, concerned about malnutrition. Concern is echoed in official guidelines on nutrition and cancer patients because of the risks of malnutrition. Yeah, maybe a day or two might not hurt, but because patients might be tempted to prolong fasting episodes without firm evidence of a benefit, they feel fasting during chemotherapy cannot be recommended. Fasting proponents agree that patients with severe weight loss, muscle wasting, or malnutrition, probably not good candidates for even short-term fasting, but of the hundreds of patients that have been trying, there's no evidence of severe adverse events in terms of malnutrition or weight loss with short-term fasting or fasting-mimicking diets, and those patients who did experience a weight loss during fasting typically recovered their way before the subsequent cycle of chemo without detectable harm. But like, I mean, even if there is a risk, we're talking about cancer here, I mean, accepting trade-offs is kind of the name of the game. People are willing to put up with the risks of severe even life-threatening side effects all the time, and even if it just helped alleviate some of the side effects, it might be worth a try. Of course, meanwhile, Big Pharma is busy trying to come up with drugs aimed at reproducing the beneficial effects of fasting, although fasting-mimicking drugs may be preferred by patients who would rather pop a pill than go without eating, it will be years before they'll ever be on the market, and it's hard to imagine drugs will be developed that are both as effective and as safe as fast. So is there anything we can tweak in our diet to get similar benefits without having to fast? The way fasting works is by reducing the levels of a cancer-promoting growth hormone known as insulin-like growth factor 1. It's the reduced levels of IGF-1 that mediates the difference or protection of normal and cancer cells in response to fasting and improves chemo's ability to kill cancer, but spare normal cells. How do we know this? Because restoration of IGF-1 was sufficient to reverse the protective effect of fasting. So, reducing IGF-1 signaling may provide the dual benefits by protecting normal cells while reducing tumor progression and even help prevent the cancer in the first place. Fasting isn't the only way to drop IGF-1 levels. Yes, a few days of fasting can cut levels in half, but that's largely because you're cutting your protein intake. Protein is a key determinant of circulating IGF-1 levels in humans, suggesting that reduced protein intake may become an important component of anti-cancer and anti-aging dietary interventions, particularly a reduction in animal protein. If you compare those eating strictly plant-based diets, getting about the recommended daily intake of protein, 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight, and compare them to people just as slender but eating more typical American protein intake, going on a calorie-restricted diet may lower IGF-1 a little, but eating a plant-based diet can lower it more. So, not only may a diet centered around whole-plant foods down regular IGF-1 activity, potentially slowing the aging process, but may be a way of turning anti-aging genes against cancer.

Welcome in to go mustang sports.com postgame recap with women's ice hockey head coach Tori M off after the Mustangs claim their first win of the season Coach congratulations on getting win number one at your alma mater.  We were connecting our passes And ultimately we ended up going away with the W. So we're very happy about that But you guys really did a nice job throughout though of controlling the game It never felt like it even when it was one nothing it felt like it was a multi-goal lead Yeah, you know, we definitely would have liked to put more points up for sure But like I said at the end of the day a wins a win. So we're happy about that They're going did a phenomenal job, you know, we had plenty of shots on net and it was just a matter of putting them away We put enough away so we did what we had to do at the end of the day But I think we did a great job possessing in the O zone and getting it out of our D zone quickly as possible 1-0-1 through the opening weekend, lot to like about that I'm sure there's a lot to work on this week in practice, but overall got to be happy through two games Absolutely Alright, now one last question before I ask you this a little bit off the air there before we came on Which is harder now playing on the ice or standing behind the bench there and watching them make the magic happen? Absolutely standing behind the bench You feel like you have no control, but you have this control and it's such a crazy feeling But really as a coach everything you can do is prepare, right? So it's practice, it's film It's doing everything the week leading up and then the game is just trusting your crew to get it done So while I love my crew and I trust them very much, sometimes it's hard to just stand behind the bench Well good luck in practice this week and I go get them next weekend and we'll talk to you here next week Thanks Paul


You talk about killing somebody, knocking me out. Okay, that's neither here nor there. I never took it to you like that. Because it was knocking you out on the clubhouse. Yeah, when I say him, I'm gonna knock him out.   Yeah, and you, where can we meet?   No, nigga, we gonna meet. Well, where can we go do this at? I'm gonna show you what this bag gonna do. Yeah, we on Boss Talk 101. Yeah, he definitely would love your podcast, man. So, man, would you ever be willing to sit down with Wagg-100 and discuss, hey, man, solution or resolution? Yeah, I just gotta die, huh? No. You said it, your word is bond. But he could just check this bag out, see what this bag gonna do.  I seen that, it wasn't, I hadn't heard that one. I just heard the first one where he had spoke on you on Club Out. The one you just shared, I hadn't heard that one. Did that happen over just a personal call? That's a personal call. He called and said, he said, well, I got 30 minutes of tape on this nigga and don't make me pull it out. But at the same time I heard him clicking, I clicked too. Wow, you be thinking. Yeah, you don't. Yeah, so, I mean, at the end of the day, I don't know if there ever is like closure when it comes down to stuff like that, when you see a person. I mean, when you talk about killing somebody, knocking me out, okay, that's neither here nor there. I never took it to you like that. Cause it was knocking you out on the Club Out. Yeah, when I say him, I'ma knock him out.  But after talking to you on the phone, it was, I'ma put a bag on your head. Yeah, where can we meet?   No, nigga, we gonna meet. Well, where can we go do this at? I'ma show you what this bag gonna do.  25. 25 years. I don't think that's the first time that somebody's tried to say they was gonna do this or that to you, right?  Little stab wounds. Hey, you can pick a number, get in the line. A lot of people want me dead.  He finds that out after he speaks and say what he says. You see what I'm saying? Just like, he's the West Coast Charleston white. Wow. Just tall. So you see him as Charleston white of the West Coast. That's the West Coast Charleston white. The exact same. He didn't ask for 147 phase and ain't fought nobody. Yeah, he didn't ask for what? 147 phase. Nigga, where you at? I'll pull up and he ain't fought nobody yet. Yeah, we on Boss Talk 101.


Hey guys it's Nate aka The Foot Account and welcome back to the channel. Yesterday was a wild day, new dynasty players, impacts, two versions of icons for some of those and two insane player month SBCs but the real headline brings us to evolutions once again and what EA did almost feels evil in a way. By the way, one of the craziest thumbnails you ever see on this channel but we gotta talk this midfield dynasty evolution because the requirements were changed and that made things go crazy. I want to talk about that situation a bit, leaks, EA changing those things, what is it, what happened there and of course everything going on with this promo, a lot of crazy content, a lot of cards and packs but as expected some really expensive ones and some really cheap ones. So we're gonna go over all that today and more if you're excited for it, drop a thumbs up, subscribe if you're new. Let's go to the SBCs that dropped before the content drop yesterday. It was those two player the months that were expected to come and EA did the business on both of them. Paulo de Bala first of all 89 rated four star three star they didn't upgrade his weak foot but what an incredible card for the price only coming in at 80k two squads to get done super easy and then once again another insane player the month with Harry Maguire 84 and an 85er to squad no informs required there what an upgrade this is the SBC that I think most people are doing after yesterday's content hi hi where it creates six foot four I think he's going straight into my team I mean I've got Tiago Silva and Blanc but this is an SBC that you can get done for two squads very easy and it's fun at the very least to have an 82 pace Harry Maguire with some pretty good play styles power header slide tackle plus jockey block even long ball pass like this is a really really solid card guys but I mean did we expect EA to give this big of a pace boost from Maguire we talked about it yesterday we said that if he was going to get a big pace boost I mean we're expecting a promo card for him in the future so if you want to use a special version of Harry Maguire for the banter or for actually having a good card in game this is probably going to be the best one for a while now there were some drops and prices on Prem's centerbacks but not like crazy I'll take a look at like Ledley King's base hero card because it's around the same price range as this Maguire SBC he went from about 75,000 coins down to about 64 before the lightning rounds and all those packs were open once those were open he went lower kind of the same thing with VVD right VVD was 160 yesterday before content and really only dropped 10k until the lightning rounds came out right so around right here is when Harry Maguire came out he went 165 down to 155 then the lightning rounds and the supply hit and he goes down to 130, 140,000 coins where he is now I honestly thought there'd be more panic selling on Prem's centerbacks but I think the fact that a lot of Prem's centerbacks like Joe Gomez are still live cards too um Gavardio's brand new you know those are some of the most popular Prem's centerbacks we had another one in Jury and Timber and the promo team I think maybe since this SBC is so cheap I mean how many people are selling cards to get it done it's just super duper easy to do so that's kind of the situation after that SBC dropped yesterday now moving into the content from the ultimate dynasty's promo we had yet again another centerback SBC we've had so many centerback SBCs recently this one is not as well received it is a Lucas Hernandez medium-high centerback the PSG Lynx and EA makes you pay a premium for those PSG Lynx it is three squads 84, 86, 87 and a team of the week two team leaks required 294,000 coins I mean I haven't bought a player the month and I need links for him but this is an SBC that really doesn't interest me that much because it's just really really expensive now it is out for two weeks so if you want to craft and get it done for those PSG Lynx you could but EA are not making those links to play the month of Bape very cheap now also yesterday we had the 83 plus team league player pick which is downvoted heavily for good reason they made it more expensive instead of an 82 and an 83 rated squad they bumped the ratings you get from 82 plus 83 and they made it an 83 and an 84 rated squad which is just like why why I don't understand why they're making that more expensive at least now team of the weeks with less demand in general and with all the supply from the weekend and lightning rounds I believe team of the weeks as my game is glitching out on me we're gonna reset I think they're like 17 16 17,000 coins in the market which is nice to have them back down at a low range but that was the content yesterday for team of the week player pick and also the daily dynasty's challenge for a tradeable mega pack can't complain about that at all now let's talk about the objective that dropped yesterday as well as we load back in here because the objective is I think ruffling a little bit of feathers there's a little bit of annoyance with this objective for the Daniel Maldini that was dropped yesterday now honestly the objective itself isn't too bad as we'll take a look in a second but it's just the way I'll just say this this is really how to summarize the objective time gating the objectives is an L if you have to say oh I have to wait to do this objective because I have to wait to get more loan games on my icon dynasty's Maldini right also some of you guys might be confused basically you have to do this objective first you play one game you get the loan Maldini I think it's only two games you get on the loan Maldini yeah a two game loan and also you get a pack from that and then you can go into a game and score in two separate matches with that Maldini card to get a pack so then today when this objective right here refreshes to refreshes every single day then you get another two game loan on Maldini guys don't do this in Division Rivals because people are rage quitting when they see that you have a two game loan Maldini in the team EA should have given us like 10 game loan Maldinis I don't know why they gave us two game loan Maldinis because the people are ratting it out in Division Rivals because do it in squad battles so you don't have to deal with that but you just have to basically keep coming back playing a game every day getting this loan Maldini a couple more games on it and then you can progress through here it's just annoying like the ID here is cool but I think they could have done it a lot better instead of doing it this way like it's just annoying so that's basically the objective content that we had yesterday on this game and we have to talk about now the evolution this is where all the conversations all the hype yesterday was building up towards evolution and then of course the requirements that were dropped for the brand new midfield dynasty different name that was leaked as well this is where things went awire right because the pace is max 89 not 90 the dribbling is max 86 not 88 and this begs the question right because we had leaks for this evolution beforehand and the real question is did EA change the requirements on the fly from what was leaked by foot police or were the leakers just flat out wrong and here's how I look at it guys because in the past this account and a lot of the other leak accounts that have had evolution leaks they've been spot on which is what they mentioned here in this tweet like you know they said that we posted what we knew and you know honestly what I think happened here guys is that EA realized rashford was going to be evolvable and other cards maybe like inform sterling once since they changed the dribbling from 88 to 86 inform sterling can't be put in either he went from 68k down to 27,000 coins of course rashford went from extinct at 47.5 all the way down to 17k still 18k right now crazy crazy drop but honestly guys I think that they got the leak these guys posted the leak for what it was and I think EA was planning to release it as that but then EA realized that rashford was going to be evolvable and they said we don't want you guys to be able to do that we don't want you to have an evolved rashford such a top tier player that you can just get a nice boost on like this boost is pretty good and they would have not changed the evos or the requirements it would have been a really really big boost to rashford was it like plus three pace plus four shooting it gets a really really solid evo this game is being so laggy you won't even load the options right now I don't know what's going on maybe it's my internet maybe it's the game itself but um this has been a really good evo I think they didn't want to give us something that good at this stage this early this stage of the game does that make sense like if EA gives us an evolvable rashford where we can get an 87 rated rashford or an 88 rated rashford there's another one of those on the market that's a million coins and then that would mean that people wouldn't be chasing after this rashford they wouldn't be chasing after maybe another rashford that would come into packs it would be EA giving out too good of a card for what they want right it would have been nice obviously for us to evo those cards but thinking from EA's perspective that's where I think what happened here guys because EA have the ability to change things on the fly they've done it in past times before we know this they've literally said this or I mean maybe not publicly but we know that they have said this I know that they have said this um they can change stuff on the fly when they want to either allow something or not allow something so yes it's disappointing and I know that everybody is upset with like the leaks and stuff but it's just a reminder that we always have to take leaks with a pinch of salt and I don't really find too much fault in the leak accounts because yes they posted it but these guys and all the other leakers have been spot on for evolutions since they've been dropped this year maybe one other mishap but it's all been basically spot on which is why I really think that EA changed it themselves now they said going forward for this account at least they're only going to post the name of the evolution and not the requirements to invoke to avoid these unpleasant solutions so hopefully if you had a rashford you sold it in the hype and of course now it sounds like they are not going to be posting the requirements of evils anymore so they don't have to worry about that but another good reminder again yesterday to basically just take all the leaks that we see with a pinch of salt because you never know when things might change but that was that was actually it's crazy like that's one of the craziest things I've seen and it feels almost evil from EA right for them to do that um because it's like why not let us have a rashford that we can have fun with an 87 88 rated rashford like that would be fun but again you think about it from EA's perspective that would be something that's probably too good in this term this time of the year that they wouldn't want a lot of people to have unfortunately especially with the power curve and just how they are trying to make money off of packs and trying to make money off of people doing sbc's and they have to buying packs the coins it's all in that cycle man so that's my opinion on it I'd love to hear yours down in the comments but it is a sticky situation let's move on a bit with the promo um this is something I noted from their website yesterday we'll look at the promo team in a second they said upgrade in ultimate dynasty's sbc player via evolutions so it sounds like there's going to be a specific evo that is going to be dropped to upgrade one of these dynasties players that is going to come out via sbc and I think I think there's one sbc leaked right now it is clivert because we we have clivert the icon we don't have his son just in clivert in the game as a ultimate dynasties player yet and also we only have one taram and I think there's another player that we only have one of like oh we don't have niko williams and we don't have kefrem taram so we've got taram striker and inaki williams but we're missing those three basically clivert williams and taram so all those could be sbc's who knows and evidently will be able to evolve one of them all of them I'm not entirely sure it says um yeah take one family connection to the next level with a custom evolution slot designed to continue their development with further upgrade so we'll see what happens with that but let's talk about this team I was just checking actually some of these cards in the market and they are really really rare and I don't think the pack weights super duper bad on them uh they just seem to be really rare guys like lauren james has won all right the menus are completely messing up right now I don't know what is going on with the servers I would just check checking some of the supply though on these cards like look at this bro what is this game doing then um the the supply on these cards is very very low they are rare they are very very rare which is very interesting because EA ran some crazy lightning rounds yesterday they ran like the deluxe 86 packs which I actually think made some of these cards start kind of low and then rebound um but one thing we didn't even see yesterday at all were those guaranteed dynasty players packs in the store remember we looked at it in the code those packs that guarantee you one or two ultimate dynasties players those have not dropped yet um but you can see yesterday that sonny went from 156 early on leaves and packs rose all the way to 193 now he's back down to 159 with these cards being so rare you might be able to make some pretty good flips into saturday today just with fluctuations like literally there was only two pages of Reese james on the market he got absolutely insane upgrade plus 10 pace from his gold card uh so definitely keep an eye out for some flips on those types of cards now one of my biggest problems with this promo team at least at the beginning was they were extinct they were like half the team was extinct also holland being extinct that will want 190 or 140 whatever it was makes sense but this card being 320 000 coins is crazy like I know the Manchester United hype is there but that is wild that he is this expensive guys for a lot of these cards there could be some fluctuations up today on saturday but I would probably get them out especially if there's a guaranteed multiple guaranteed store packs coming over the next two or three days is the normal price fluctuations we see anyway if you want to try one of these just don't hold on to it too for too long because I don't think the prices will stay this high I mean but look at the promo team in general right as expected some of these cards in here like there's at least seven or eight cards that are already discard value holland's brother Jordan Larson brow brunez it's they're all 85 rated and they're all discard value I mean that's the part of this promo that just doesn't it's it's it feels like filler content like that is honestly what it feels like with these cards and even for the icons a bit look how cheap some of these icons are 30k for baby clivered little bro clivered they got the two options thing going we saw this last year in trophy titans first time this year we've had little bro and big bro it's kind of what this is but some of the differences like haji haji's card is 89 versus a 90 like that's not that big of a difference 88 versus 89 on clivered so the real difference here is like Rivaldo this is the most crazy Rivaldo card I think I've ever seen they gave him a four star four star boost plus two on the weak foot that's always his downfall that card's going to be expensive because it's just it's a Rivaldo with a weak foot we're just pretty insane so overall the cards and packs there are some nice ones and they did do some nice upgrades but it does feel kind of mid and I think it just kind of feels mid because it's like well half this team is already discard value already yeah they look kind of cool and it's fun it had the family aspect in here but I don't know I'm a little bit hopeful for like the kefrem taram if that's going to be an SBC maybe the Nico Williams if that's going to be an SBC maybe even Justin clivered a little bit hopeful for that but I don't know man some of the price ranges are still messed up actually I wanted to show you this I would be very careful buying Reese James right now because his price range is 400k to 760 like what is EA doing with price ranges with these brand new cards makes zero sense half the team is extinct and now a lot of them are on the market but or basically all of them are on the market now but the price range is still look a bit scuffed on some of them so I'd be very very careful on that today on this game now the rest of the market how's the rest of the market doing right because there were definitely some cards that moved up yesterday but a lot of cards just kept moving down kind of looking at the radioactive cards there was only like two or three that did well yesterday Kante one of those rare cards that went up like a hundred thousand coins he was 900 he's almost a million coins now a lot of the market just was stagnant honestly EA have done an incredible job this year of not having or not allowing however they've calculated this maybe it's the lighting rounds maybe it's with just how many promo cards they've dropped this game so it divides the demand across the game but Friday nights are just not good on the market anymore man it used to be you could buy cards either before the content drop on a Friday or even during the content drop or an hour after and you would see some nice rises for a couple hours afterwards but now it's just like prices just they just drop like all Friday night it's really really crazy I think EA obviously had done a great job of doing that so that people don't make as many coins because that was a very very popular time to trade now there were a few cards that went up yesterday but not many from this promo team if you take a look at most of the team like some of them are even down further like Zaha there was a lot of people that were buying these cards yesterday investing because they're like old promo the new promo was mid so like Zaha went from 52k all the way to 62 and that was people investing because they were like old he's gonna rebound because the evo is mid well look what happened he's back down to 50k there's not demand there for that card to continue to go up that just worries me for the market in total and in general right now till this guy's down pair stitches down I think Zanchenko was one of those cards that actually did go up I think he's up like 15k yeah from 150 to like 165 maybe even 20k he was in the 140s so there's a little bit of a rise there but honestly guys the market in general just feels very I don't know it doesn't feel super poised for a rise right now I don't think I'm gonna be trading with a lot of cards anything that's at least too risky unless it's one of the brand new promo cards trying for a quick flip today as people want to just wake up and try these cards out in champs I don't know I just I just don't love it I just don't love the market in the way that's looking right now and uh wow Holland is two point that's a crazy price for him but um yeah a lot of those out of packs cards didn't even do that great now the ones that would watch for today would be of course the Thunder Shrocks because today is for a lot of these cards the fourth game you got Crystal Palace Liverpool early today and that is the deciding game for Joe Gomez guys if you don't want to risk it selling the hype we say that all the time but seriously sell in the hype and if you're going to risk it for the game today then make sure and we'll talk about it during this next week as well make sure you sell on the hype of the upgrades get it out optimal sell time honestly might be Monday Tuesday probably not even just like Wednesday right before the upgrade probably like Monday Tuesday I wouldn't risk it because once a card loses its live nature it loses a lot of its hype because the hype for getting more upgrades is usually more hyped than actually getting the upgrades itself so I ended up selling some of the Jesus that I was trading with um what is Jesus right now because he should be an 88 rated card wait did he actually get upgraded to 88 or is that just what he's showing because he was not 88 yet uh did he actually get upgraded or is that just foot been showing the potential upgrade for his card Gabriel Jesus oh shoot okay so they did upgrade his card interesting I did not know that I sold him at 220,000 coins which right now he is 214k which is crazy they upgraded his card randomly like that 203 actually he's not 214 but see this is what happens again he is still lower from where he was early in the week when they clinched that last upgrade selling the hype with the upgrades guys they will definitely drop further so watch those cards closely today because there's a hundred percent going to be some movements there and uh same thing with the pro live cards we'll cover those over the weekend but really what I'm hoping for today guys for Saturday content is some more lining rounds drop the fodder okay EA if you drop the fodder like drop some sick packs today I think that's going to be probably the most exciting thing about the game today we're going to be the insane packs in this store and if you don't jive with those like I don't really open any of those then it's probably not going to be that exciting the Saturdays Saturdays aren't that exciting anyway but I think they'll drop some pretty big packs this store today those guaranteed dynasty packs and I mean the pack design is sick but this one doesn't even guarantee you an ultimate dynasty's player but when they drop those packs I think that's going to cause some commotion and I hope that drops some fodder we'll see they'll probably run lightning rounds again today as well so if that drops fodder remember the same thing happened last week 88s were 24k Friday night and then they went to 20 right here Saturday they went to 22k rose back up for Sunday and Monday actually the rose up more into Sunday after content when we got the icon pack and we still have a big icon pack coming hopefully tomorrow so that's a really really important part of the market we'll be watching in the next day that we're preparing for right now but watch the market today early saturday if you want to risk it on a couple of flips like timber for me is one like he is super rare man he's got like look at how many pages here I'm on the compare price which only shows you six cards per page right six cards per page and he's only got six pages like yeah he does seem a little bit expensive but there might be some crazy price spikes today because of how rare some of these cards are this uh I forgot that Lauren James has five star skills that's pretty hyped she's 288 after a price rain cut updated keep a close on those they'll be moving today and uh yeah that's the video for today guys hopefully saturday is a good day of content and hopefully none of you guys had the rash right I just hope that EA like they're never gonna say anything about that they're never going to come out and say oh we meant to do this evolution and we meant to do this but we changed it because like they're never going to say that but we can kind of read between the lines the fact that the community made rashford go extinct because of seeing that leak that he was going to be in the evil literally I believe made EA change so let me know again down the comments what you think about that that was the craziest thing yesterday for sure by a mile but if you enjoyed that this video drop us upon it comment on a lot of questions and subscribe for you see you guys in the video tomorrow it's been native account of peace


Hello, welcome to this week's CMC markets currency snapshot with myself Jasper Lawler this week We're going to be talking about the Aussie namely the Australian dollar US dollar exchange rate and What's interesting there is there's coming a slightly different picture between the two central banks and this isn't the picture of an 8% fall in this exchange rate in just a month so as mentioned there has been a rapid drop in the Australian dollar US dollar exchange rate and This is largely thanks to a strength in the US dollar across most major currencies and The thought process that the Federal Reserve are going to be one of the first central banks around the world to to raise interest rates And so the idea being that US interest rates are on the way up But at the time Australian dollar Australian interest rates are thought to be perhaps more likely to be on the way down That has slightly changed since the last RBA Reserve Bank of Australia meeting last week What they've essentially indicated and what the takeaway from that meeting was is that interest rates? Although not likely to rise perhaps in the near future. They're unlikely to be going down They're basically going to be holding rates flat at the current rate for the foreseeable future And last largely Surrounding the fact that the Australian economy has rebalanced a bit it's not so focused on commodities these days and so the economy is doing well and Also the idea that the the housing market is actually booming over there So really you can't cut interest rates in the face of a booming housing market It's just going to encourage a further excesses in that particular market So that's the Australian economy And so that already brought us down to the exchange rate at that point was already at the 2014 low For the Aussie down 8% in just a month But now just yesterday we've had the minutes from the Federal Reserve in the US and they were much more dovish than People were anticipating and they've actually specifically alluded to strength in the US dollar as a problem Potentially for the US economy. So that caught people off guard And so now this slight bounce that we've seen off the 2014 lows Looks like it's following through a bit and so we're going to have a look at the chart pattern now to see where we We're out on that particular currency pair. So here we have the Aussie dollar daily candlestick chart Now you can see this massive plummet down in prices that we saw that came down and hit a low at 86 60 We bounced off there to 88 25 which was a price pivot from back in 2012 We came back down again to the low successfully tested it and have moved up higher through that 88 25 level again So in the shorter term chart, you would see that as a bit more of a clearer double bottom pattern So if that pattern is to come to fruition, we could see prices move up to 89 the 89 85 type area was where the prices broke down quite significantly mid September so that alongside the bullish RSI divergence that we've seen with the lower lows being made in the price recently, but that flat RSI pattern Could see further prices further bullish moves in the price going forward Okay, that's it for this week's CMC markets currency snapshot. We were of course looking at the Aussie dollar Now keep it a lot keep an eye on this 86 60 which is this 2014 low that we've recently bounced off. That's a key level on the chart But also keep an eye on the rhetoric coming out of both the RBA and the Fed for the moment The balance has slightly changed towards more favorable Australian dollar outlook, but obviously we have to pay attention to everything they say This correction could could be short lived should there be a short, you know changing in rhetoric between these central banks


Million-dollar one-person businesses. What do they know that I don't know? What tools are they using to grow their businesses? This is what I wanted to know when I wrote my book. Most one-person businesses that get to one million in revenue aren't run by one person who is doing all the work themselves. Typically they use contractors. You can use contractors to handle an overflow of work that you're very capable of doing or you can use them to tackle projects that you don't have the expertise to do. That's really the secret. You really do have to invest in hiring other people to build your business or you'll never be able to accomplish more than one person can realistically do in a week. Most million-dollar one-person business owners are avid students of automation. They're not necessarily techies but they like to take work off their plate that they don't need to be doing so they can focus on the things that they really should be working on like strategy or new product development. One thing that's really been growing since the pandemic is the use of email marketing because so many companies have been taking their sales online or have changed how they're doing things and so they're spending a lot more time building the email lists and automating aspects of sending out their emails. The bottom line is that automation can save you time. A time is money in a one-person business. When you hear that somebody is running a million-dollar one-person business you probably think this person works 24 seven has no time for a social life no time for fun but the opposite is true. They prize their lifestyle. They want more time off from work not less. They make very intentional choices about how they do each thing in the business whether it's bringing on contractors choosing the automation tools that they'll use finding an outsourcing partner. The result is that they can live a very intentional life that allows them to spend their time how they want with the people they want and where they want and that's what many people are looking for today.
