Canada’s Weyburn Credit Union Teams Up with iGrad
San Diego, CA, August 31, 2023 — Weyburn Credit Union in Weyburn, Saskatchewan has teamed up with the San Diego-based financial wellness company iGrad to offer the award-winning Enrich™ financial wellness platform to its nearly 9,000 members.
Enrich is available at no cost to Weyburn Credit Union members, who can access the platform by visiting https://weyburncu.enrich.org and creating an account with their email address.
“We’re excited to offer Enrich to our members as part of our commitment to their financial well-being,” said Tana Torkelson, Weyburn Credit Union vice president of marketing. “Everyone has different goals and priorities when it comes to finances. Enrich’s personalized, customized and mobile-friendly platform uses artificial intelligence to provide content to users based on their individual situations and goals. The Enrich platform is a key part of our efforts to help our members attain financial wellness.”
A study released in April by Manulife reveals that only one in five (21 percent) of Canadian workers say their financial situation is strong. Two in five (40 percent) rate it as fair to poor. More than half of respondents (53 percent) worry a great deal about one or more aspects of their personal finances.
Enrich, which is used globally by more than 20,000 employers and more than 300 financial institutions, seeks to lower financial stress in a measurable way. Users are prompted to update their stress score regularly to gauge the correlation between improved financial wellness and stress levels.
Enrich data from January 2020 to December 2021 found significant improvements in financial wellness among its users:
-35 percent increase in users who reported that they are on track with saving for their goals;
-14 percent increase in users who are contributing to their retirement savings plan;
-59 percent increase in users who had built up an emergency savings of at least three months of living expenses;
-28 percent increase in users who pay off credit card debt in full monthly.
Additionally, Enrich data showed that users who reported lower financial stress said that decrease was substantial – nearly 32 percent. About 36 percent also attributed that reduction in financial stress to using the Enrich platform.

New Ibebet.com Analysis Reveals Surge in Market Value of Premier League Centre-Backs for 2023
San Francisco, CA, August 31, 2023 — The sports analysts at Ibebet.com have been hard at work, deep-diving into the nitty-gritty of Premier League players’ market values. Their findings? Many surprising new insights and data points that buck the trends across the various player positions.
Key Observations:
Centre-Forwards Making Waves: Centre-Forwards, with their lightning-fast sprints and flawless knack for netting the ball, are collectively worth a not-so-shabby €1321.9 million. Now, Aribim Pepple, with a modest price tag of just €0.1 million, could be the football equivalent of finding an undiscovered treasure. But, let’s take a moment to pay our respects to the king-maker Erling Haaland, who, at a significant €180 million, is the highest-priced on the market.
Defence & Midfield Take the Lead: In the beautiful game where goals are lauded, it’s the strategy that often gets the ball rolling. Centre-Backs have emerged as the silent billionaires of the football world, boasting a remarkable market value of an impressive €1744.8 million. Meanwhile, Central Midfielders, the veritable spine of most teams, hold a solid and commendable worth of €1050.7 million.
A Kaleidoscope of Player Values: The spectrum of player market values is as wide and varied as it can get. Take a gander at Right Wingers for instance. You’ve got Garang Kuol, priced at a humble €0.8 million. And on the other end, there’s Bukayo Saka, who’s valued at a jaw-dropping €120 million. Moving along to Centre-Forwards, we have Aribim Pepple, a relative bargain at €0.1 million – about as much as a high-end sports car. But then there’s Erling Haaland, whose market value is an exceptional €180 million. It’s really a wide range out there.
Annual Market Fluctuations: This year, Central Midfielders have seen quite the uptick in market value. On the other hand, Left Wingers are feeling a little left out, experiencing a small drop in their price tags. But the league’s total player market value has shot up by an eye-watering €2894.98 million from the previous year.
Do check out the charts attached for a better understanding of our findings. The first image gives you a great visual of this year’s total market value, broken down by position. The second image, on the other hand, provides a comparison between this year’s and last year’s total market values, definitely very interesting comparisons.

Charles D Green Jr’s New Book, 34 But Dealing with Eighteen, is a Fascinating Tale
Farmersville, TX, August 30, 2023 — Fulton Books author Charles D Green Jr has completed his most recent book, “34 But Dealing With Eighteen: Every Young Man’s Struggle”: a compelling tale based around the author’s own experiences that brings to life the situations that young men experience on a daily basis between the ages of eighteen and thirty-four.
An Arkansas native, Charles Green currently leads operations for the Young Leaders of Today’s Dream organization (YLTD). Through this platform, he has provided leadership to teens and young adults, and has spoken to high schools, colleges, and small groups about continuously improving their life through strategy, consistency, and following God.
Based on realistic circumstances, situations, and life’s vicissitudes, Charles Green’s indispensable fictional story gently displays life’s lessons of a young man and how they ultimately serve as the pathway to triumph. Charles’s soliloquy is from the perspective that continuous growth is a result of mistakes, evaluation, course correction, and moving forward with faith in God.
Charles shares, “From inception to completion, each chapter enables the reader to identify with themselves: a son, a stepson, an adopted son, a nephew, a cousin, a brother, or a father that is searching for a path with less bruises. We come to find that each circumstance within this book is not a coincidence but a building block of self-evaluation, reflection, and becoming better. Some have said that self- evaluation is one of the most difficult tasks for a person, but without it, we bypass opportunities of becoming or acquiring the things of God. True growth is when there is an adamant critique for both sides of the coin.”

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, August 30, 2023— His Excellency the Minister of Environment, Water and Agriculture, Engineer Abdulrahman Al-Fadhli, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the National Center for Wildlife, unveiled a ground breaking discovery during a workshop organized by the Center. The discovery of “blue holes” in the Red Sea marks a significant milestone in marine exploration and conservation efforts.
The workshop, titled “Blue Holes in Saudi Arabia,” brought together renowned local and international experts, as well as specialized scientific bodies, to delve into the study of these unique marine ecosystems. The National Center for Wildlife will spearhead extensive research and conservation initiatives to protect these newfound treasures.
In 2022, over 20 blue holes were discovered along the southern Saudi coasts of the Red Sea. These awe-inspiring geological formations boast an exceptional biodiversity, serving as a sanctuary for marine creatures including sea turtles, fish, marine mammals, and invertebrates. The discovery of these blue holes presents an unprecedented opportunity to unlock the secrets and ecological significance of this untapped underwater world.
The CEO of the National Center for Wildlife, Dr. Mohammed Qurban, emphasized the importance of this discovery for both environmental preservation and sustainable tourism. By safeguarding these pristine environments, the Kingdom aligns with the Saudi Green Initiatives and its commitment to increase the percentage of protected areas to 30% of the nation’s territory by 2030.
Furthermore, the study and evaluation of the marine environments in the Red Sea contribute to the rehabilitation of affected areas, ensuring the long-term health and resilience of these delicate ecosystems. This discovery not only promises ecological benefits but also presents a unique opportunity for economic diversification through sustainable tourism.
The National Center for Wildlife, in collaboration with its partners, will conduct comprehensive studies, research, and risk assessments to better understand and protect these invaluable marine environments. The engagement of national researchers, employees, and esteemed international experts will propel the Kingdom toward adopting best scientific practices in the field of marine conservation.
As the Saudi government continues its dedication to environmental sustainability, the discovery of the blue holes in the Red Sea stands as a testament to the Kingdom’s commitment to preserving its natural heritage.

Florida Association of ACOs Welcomes Koda Health as Member
Jacksonville, FL, August 30, 2023 — The Florida Association of Accountable Care Organizations (FLAACOS) proudly announces the membership of Koda Health, a leading Advanced Care Planning (ACP) company. As the state with the largest elderly population in the United States, Florida’s ACOs will benefit from Koda’s ACP solutions, especially given that by 2030, the senior citizen population in Florida is projected to increase to over 7 million, with close to 80% of them managing one chronic condition or another.
Koda Health’s unique, patient-centered approach streamlines ACP for patients, offering them a simple and convenient way to explore their values, select a surrogate decision maker, define their quality of life, indicate treatments that matter, and complete and share their advance directives without burdening their care team. With this three-pronged approach, Koda Health’s solution empowers ACOs in Florida to improve healthcare outcomes and quality of life while achieving valuable cost savings.
Dr. Desh Mohan, Chief Medical Officer at Koda Health, expressed his enthusiasm in providing quality ACP for Floridians, “We’ve developed a comprehensive suite of tools to provide thorough and thoughtful ACP on behalf of ACOs throughout Florida. We’re eager to provide Floridians with this valuable service, allowing them to craft healthcare that aligns with their quality of life.” Koda Health’s expertise in Advance Care Planning brings FLAACOS’ other members a value-based care solution that is scalable to their organizational needs and circumstances.
The partnership between FLAACOS and Koda Health will benefit Florida’s senior citizens and the state’s ACOs by enabling ACOs to provide enhanced, patient-centered care and aligning healthcare with their patients’ values and quality of life.
According to Nicole Bradberry, CEO of FLAACOS, “So much of healthcare is decided during crisis situations and not always according to what the patient wants and needs. Koda Health’s solutions allow patients and providers to collaborate on what they want before a health crisis occurs. This will not only provide better quality care but typically more efficient care.”
As FLAACOS continues to serve Floridians, the inclusion of Koda Health provides the opportunity for proactive, patient-centered care that prevent unnecessary hospitalizations and readmissions, while amplifying patient agency.

The Essential Handbook for People Asking “What’s Nxt?” by Cindy Carrillo
Ridgway, CO, August 30, 2023 — Cindy Carrillo had no plans to upend her comfortable suburban life and thriving career as a CEO to become a rancher in Colorado. After feeling a persistent yearning for something completely different, Carrillo answered the call and wrote the next—or as she puts it, “Nxt”—chapters of her life. Those chapters are now part of her debut book, Finding Your Nxt: When You’re Ready for the Life You Really Want, which details the author’s wild and (literally) wooly journey of transformation while offering actionable insights for readers seeking their own Nxt.
Defining Your Nxt
Stories of people experiencing big life and career shifts aren’t new. Carrillo mines her own challenges and triumphs to craft a distinctive guide to navigating big changes. She defines “Nxt” as “turning a new page in your life with intention, to achieve fulfillment and purpose, with the process being “so urgent,” she quips, that you “don’t have time for the ‘e’.” Carrillo argues that you can’t find your Nxt if you don’t define it for yourself; and only by naming it–can you claim it.
Finding Your Nxt from Someone Who’s Been There, Done That
Breaking from traditional transformational narratives, Carrillo asserts that you don’t need misery to redefine your life, just an unwillingness to settle for anything less than your biggest dreams. Readers journey with Carrillo through her Nxt as she trades her suburban corporate persona for the life of a livestock-wrangling rancher. The unconventional adventure at the heart of Finding Your Nxt becomes a template to DIY the Nxt Chapter of your own life.
