Award-winning Author, Business Expert and Futurist Releases New Book, "The 3rd Ingredient"

SBN Books announces the release of "The 3rd Ingredient: The Journey of Analog Ethics into the World of Digital Fear and Greed" by award-winning author, Jim Blasingame. In this his fourth book, Blasingame reveals a once-in-10-millennia shift is at the heart of the unprecedented anxiety we're experiencing as we make the transition from an analog world to a digital one.

"Hundreds of years before a robot takes us down," Blasingame says, "we humans will do it to ourselves by failing to establish effective digital ethics. We have to determine what digital trust look like. We have to start now."

Blasingame says a shift of this magnitude – about something so much a part of our very being, our ethical DNA – has never happened before in human society and markets. The source of so much anxiety about technology comes from expecting our miles-per-hour analog ethics to transition and perform in a billions-of-bits-per-second digital environment, with virtually no conversation.

From the Foreword, by Jim Clifton, CEO of Gallup: "In 'The 3rd Ingredient,' Jim has done the heavy lifting to get us to think about the ethical impact of digital leverage. He's both a prophet and prolific reporter on how humans must navigate this first-time-in-history shift from our analog past to our digital future."

Steve Forbes said, "In 'The 3rd Ingredient,' Jim Blasingame innovatively asks and answers arguably the most profoundly critical question of our time: Why is technology causing so much anxiety? This book is compelling and prophetic."

Legendary management guru, Ken Blanchard, offers this appraisal: "You'll never feel the same about the digital world we live in after you read Jim Blasingame's important new book, 'The 3rd Ingredient.'"

"The 3rd Ingredient" is Blasingame's fourth book and the follow-up to his multiple-award-winning book, "The Age of the Customer: Prepare for the Moment of Relevance," which has sold 100,000 copies. Recognized as a marketplace futurist and one of the world's leading experts on business and entrepreneurship, Blasingame is the creator and award-winning host of the syndicated weekday radio broadcast, The Small Business Advocate® Show, a syndicated columnist and keynote speaker.

For his thought-leadership, Blasingame has received numerous national awards and recognition from organizations such as the U.S. Small Business Administration, the American Chamber of Commerce Executives, and American Small Business Development Centers.

Blasingame is founder and president of Small Business Network, Inc. (SBN), which produces and distributes multimedia small business resources worldwide, including The Small Business Advocate Show. SBN Books is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Small Business Network, Inc.

SUN Behavioral Health Adds Kentucky Facility to Multi-Site Healthcare Platform

HCS (http://www.hcsinteractant.com), a leading provider of an all-in-one healthcare technology platform, today announced that SUN Behavioral Health, Inc. has expanded its use of HCS Interactant across its newest facility in Kentucky. SUN is utilizing various modules of the healthcare platform including Revenue Cycle Management, Financial, Insight, and components of EHR. The opening of the Kentucky location provides much needed access to critical inpatient behavioral healthcare in this area.

The platform architecture of Interactant is built with multi-site providers in mind, which helps ease the burden of facility expansion and allowed SUN to go live at the Kentucky hospital with minimal IT infrastructure. A client since 2015, SUN deployed HCS Interactant across three locations – Houston, Texas, Columbus, Ohio, and now Erlanger, Kentucky. The company's headquarters, located in Red Bank, New Jersey, benefits from real-time access to each location's operation, covering nearly 500 beds across the U.S.

In an effort to deliver high-quality patient care, healthcare organizations are confronted with many challenges, ranging from recruiting and maintaining staff, to managing compliance, billing, collections, and technology automation.

"Healthcare is dependent on data at the patient-level – both historical and in real-time," said Thomas Rourke, Senior Vice President of Corporate Development at SUN Behavioral Health, Inc. "The HCS Interactant platform provides the capability to centrally manage all aspects of patient care across our entire operation."

Together, HCS and SUN are focused on delivering quality care to its patients while helping manage compliance, reimbursement, and administrative functions with ease.

"The relationship with HCS has been very beneficial to our growth and success," continued Ro urke. "To open a hospital and have all aspects of our information technology needs met from day one is a strategic advantage for us."

"We're excited to be a part of the important work SUN is doing for the communities in Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati," said Tom Fahey, President and CEO of HCS. "With the rising trend in mental illness and substance abuse gripping our society, the care and treatment that SUN provides is more important now than ever before."

"With HCS Interactant, we are creating not only comfortable patient outcomes, but also efficient environments for our staff. The software helps save time capturing and entering data, which allows doctors, nurses and clinicians spend more time delivering patient care," Rourke added.

They had an amazing turn out of roughly 400 people attend an all day event to showcase their concept to the neighborhood and the city of Ft. Lauderdale. With Live Music performed by The Cast Band, BBQ and Ice Cream stations, a Pet Adoption Station hosted by Feeling Fine Canine and Equine Rescue that saw 4 of 7 dogs get adopted, face painting, balloon animals, and more, it was fun for everyone.
The Ceremony was lead by the Ft. Lauderdale Chamber's Chairman Juliet Murphy Roulhac of FPL, and Chamber President & CEO Dan Lindblade, both of whom shared their love for the concept and their plans to work with Collective Ventures to build more business resource s in Ft. Lauderdale.
Ft. Lauderdale Mayor Dean Trantalis spoke highly of the vision, and expressed the need to push past current investment strategies in South Florida stating, "We need to invest in small businesses, technology, and innovative thinkers, not just the tourism and related fields South Florida has become known for." Hallandale Mayor Keith London, a friend to Brian stated, "With this sort of innovative thinking, we would love to Brian and his team share this with our city, and bring the next Collective Ventures to Hallandale."
Founder Brian Jacob reiterated what he shared in his recent interview with Voyage Miami, "We are a resource that can be used in any way. Whether it's to Co-Work in a space that was just voted Best Co-working space in Ft. Lauderdale by Coworker, to enjoy community based events such as Music Jams, or Raw Story Telling. Business resources, or an investment, we have what you need." Founder Dhiraj Thareja thanked the 16 companies in the business innovation center, as well as our Venture team that can help your business get of the ground by accelerating or investing in them. "It's not a Collective without our members who have been integral to our vision and our growth. To also invest in 5 Broward based companies will help continue to pave the startup scene in Ft. Lauderdale," Raj stated.
Fellow business partners Brijesh Mannattuparampil and Alex Mathai echoed the sentiment and added how the Social events done here help bridge the gap with the community and the arts, and how the Startup/Entrepreneurial efforts would bring more talent to the area.
In fact Alex who recently shared his Business Consulting at Collective Ventures with Voyage Miami, spearheaded the Techstars Startup Weekend at Collective Ventures. A 3-day, 54-hour startup weekend that saw 50+ participants create 12 startup teams. The top 6 pitched on Sunday, May 6th. Brian, along with Tim Hasse of General Provision, Mike O'Donnell of Startupbiz.com, Rhys Williams of FAU Tech Runway, and Kathy Chiu of The Fan Fund Venture Capital judged the event. A winner emerged after much deliberation called Tik'd Off. A parking ticket contesting and payment mobile platform.

Daniel Lowman and Daniel Amyradakis formulated Bountiful Holdings LLC in 2017, wanting to provide an affordable, fast absorbing and highly bioavailable liquid health supplement. http://www.juiceshots.com [JuiceShots __title__ ] is the realization of that goal, and The Best Stuff is the company's first offering of pocket-sized energy and wellness s hots that integrate naturally processed plants.

The Best Stuff does not need to be refrigerated, and it is packed with adaptogens, including rhodiola rosea, maca, Moringa olifeira, Echinacea purpurea and guarana, in addition to elderberry.

"Give JuiceShots a try as an alternative to coffee or other energy shots," Amyradakis said.

We believe The Best Stuff is literally the best thing you can take to help improve health on the go."

As organizational enthusiasts, we wanted to improve upon the typical organizers offered by other companies by creating a new, well-constructed model that expands fully yet still fits in smaller spaces, improving the quality of the material and stitching, add extra features such as the Fold Flat technology that folds to 1" when not being used for ease of storage, reflective light strips, tie down grommets, non-slip rubber feet, and more."

The Higher Gear Products® Car Trunk Organizer is now available for purchase on Amazon.com and for a limited time is being offered at an introductory price. Included with the purchase is the Car Trunk Organizer and bonus eBook "How To Become Your Best Self".

While available in the marketplace, no one had brought them together into one place, which was the impetus for the creation of the company.

Canine Camp Getaway of NY Dog Vacation Destination Celebrates Milestone

Canine Camp Getaway of NY, the ultimate, all-inclusive getaway for dogs and the people who love them, celebrates 10 years of dog vacations this year with two dog-friendly getaway events planned for June 24-28 and September 15-18 in Lake George, NY. And never has "come" and "stay" been so much fun!

Packed with a host of activities that dogs and their humans can enjoy together, the all-inclusive dog camp vacations offer 50+ classes a day taught by top instructors, including everything from agility, hiking, nose work and swimming in the dog-friendly pool to lure coursing, barn hunt, flyball, tracking, canine freestyle dance and even dog yoga – as well as seminars by top veterinarians and t rainers, Canine CPR classes, "Barks & Crafts" sessions, nightly Yappy Hour and dog-friendly evening entertainment.

So why take your dog on vacation?

"Studies consistently show that dogs lower our blood pressure, help us de-stress, stave off depression and provide real and measurable health benefits. At the same time, dogs that enjoy regular physical and mental stimulation live longer. So going on vacation together benefits everyone!" explains Canine Camp Getaway owner and founder Janice Costa.

Costa, who lives by the motto, "Have dogs, will travel," was first inspired to create a dog-friendly getaway a decade ago when she couldn't find vacation options for herself and her two dogs. Her goal was to create a dog's "dream vacation" with i nput from her own two dogs, Jessie and Lexie, who happily embraced their role as camp "ambassadogs."

Today, Lexie, who learned to swim at her first camp and has since gone on to become an AKC Dock Diving National Champion, oversees the camp's dog activities with her younger sister Kaylee, while founding ambassadog Jessie runs the Heaven Chapter of Canine Camp Getaway. "We always say that our dog vacations are 'heaven on earth' for dogs, so it only makes sense that when they leave this earth, they get to enjoy the 'heaven on heaven' version of dog camp!" she quips.

Over the past decade, the twice-annual vacations have attracted guests from all over the country and Canada. "People will go to the ends of the earth if it means their dog will have a really good time," Costa maintains. "And with all the opportunities to romp, play, swim, hike, run agility and find treats...well, if you're a dog, it doesn't get much better than this!"

< p>But it's not just about the dogs, Costa maintains. "Dogs teach us valuable lessons about life and love; about slowing down and living in the moment; about the value of playtime and vacation…and most of all, about making memories with the ones you love. And that's important – whether your loved ones have two legs or four."

Giving back is also an important part of Canine Camp Getaway's mission, and over the past decade, the camps have raised more than $35,000 for animal charities and rescues, from canine cancer research and service dog organizations to a charity that cares for dogs of deployed military to a variety of dog rescue groups in the U.S. and Canada.

Asked about the evolution of her business, Costa recalls, "Ten years ago, when things were a lot less dog friendly, I told people about my dream of building a dog vacation getaway…and ev eryone, even my own parents, thought I was crazy!" But over the past 10 years, her "crazy" idea took off, as dogs have become increasingly valued as friends, companions and family members. "So many dog lovers today want to spend their vacations with their dogs, rather than leaving them behind," Costa says. "And what better way to do that than at a vacation getaway planned for dogs, by dogs, surrounded by other dogs and dog lovers?"

Looking ahead, Costa is excited about celebrating the company's 10th anniversary and making new dog vacation memories at the 2018 Getaways, and she notes that reservations for the June 24-28 and September 15-18 camps are still available, with friendly dogs welcome.

About Canine Camp Getaway
Camp Camp Getaway was originally conceived by two Long Island, NY-based dogs in an effort to avoid being kenneled during vacation. With the help of their human, they established what they've dubbed "a dog's dream vacation," with a host of activities that dogs and humans can enjoy together. From agility, hiking, lure coursing, swimming in the dog-friendly pool, barn hunt, nose work and flyball to trainer- and veterinarian-hosted seminars, gourmet dining and nightly Yappy Hour, Canine Camp Getaway offers the ultimate all-inclusive vacation for dogs and the people who love them. Canine Camp Getaway actively supports animal charities and rescue groups.
