Children of America Celebrates Teachers, as their Core Strength

This week is national Teacher Appreciation Week and Children of America, Educational Childcare (COA), has pulled out all the stops. "This internationally recognized day commemorates teachers around the globe and their commitment to children and learning. Every year, COA celebrates this devotion with a week of activities and gifts to honor our teachers. We know the impact they make on our children and understand the vital role they play in our business model," says Jim Perretty, COA CEO.

Studies show that having a strong teacher, even for one school year, can lead to lasting academic and social performance gains. Researchers have demonstrated that, for children, having a nurturing teacher can serve as a protective factor that mitigates the effect on learning and peer relationships.

"COA teachers are the foundation of everything we do," said Jane Buckman, President of Educational Programming. "Our teachers take our proprietary programming and bring it to life in our classrooms, engaging and energizing our children, delivering an interactive learning environment. Mrs. Buckman goes on to say, "Our parents see the impact our teachers and programming make every day and as a result partner with us raising the bar in academic readiness. I could not be more proud of our teachers."

In addition to the celebrations happening at each location, COA pays tribute to teachers throughout the year with monthly and yearly recognition initiatives. Jim Perretty adds, "It is the goal of the company to keep our school staff front and center every month. To reinforce this philosophy, we have created several programs to strengthen educational leadership, and increase collaboration with acknowledgment awards." ; Winners receive a cash awards and join the Hall of Fame board.

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.

Grand Opening & Techstars Startup Weekend at Collective Ventures

It's been a busy few weeks for Collective Ventures now that they have officially Grand Opened on April 20th 2018. 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.

JuiceShots The Best Stuff, a wellness, focus, mood and energy shot formulated with wholesome botanicals is educating consumers on the numerous healing properties of elderberry, one of seven adaptogens in the company's initial offering.

Elderberry has been used for its healing properties since long before Hippocrates, of ancient Greece, called it his "medicine chest," possibly even back to prehistoric times. The elder plant has antioxidant properties, as well as a litany of health benefits, helping fight a cold, flu, nerve pain, inflammation, chronic fatigue, constipation and more.

"Elderberry is just one of seven adaptogens used in JuiceShots," Bountiful Holdings c ofounder Daniel Lowman said. "These adaptogens were carefully selected based on their proven abilities to calm the body and mind, while providing energy, focus and more. Our goal was to create a product to give you an energy boost, while also helping improve overall health.

"Elderberry has too many health benefits to list, spanning the digestive, circulatory and respiratory system. It is believed to improve immunity, which provides direct benefits to fighting off cold and flu. It's also a diuretic, helping with detoxification, ridding the body of waste."

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. "It provides a heavy dose of clean caffeine with added botanicals and vitamins, like maca and gaurana, to improve mood and overall health. There are no unhealthy additives. We believe The Best Stuff is literally the best thing you can take to help improve health on the go."

Higher Gear Products Introduces New Heavy-Duty Car Trunk Organizer

Higher Gear Products® LLC has announced the market introduction of its newest product, the Higher Gear Products Car Trunk Organizer which is now available for sale on the Amazon Marketplace.

The Higher Gear Products® Car Trunk Organizer is an essential organizational accessory for busy people everywhere and is great to use at home, in vehicles and the workplace.

This innovative car trunk organizer offers significant improvements over the typical trunk organizer. It is made of heavy duty 600d polyester fabric, uses quality construction fortified with rugged stitching, has reinforced non-slip padded handles for carrying ease and comfort, interior mesh pockets, exterior pockets, 4 reinforced grommets to secure with tie down straps, and features a "Fold Flat"-technology reinforced hard bottom that ensures the safety of even the he aviest cargo.

In addition, unlike most offerings in this product category, the Higher Gear Car Trunk Organizer expands to a large size when fully expanded -- 23" x 14" x 12" -- so it fits all the things you need to keep organized and yet still fits conveniently in limited spaces such as a compact car, truck storage bin, SUV back seat, and homes and offices.

And when it counts most, the Higher Gear Products Car Trunk Organizer keeps you safe during roadside emergencies with its reflective safety strips on both sides of the organizer that lets drivers know you are broken down on the side of the highway.

The Higher Gear Products Car Trunk Organizer – just launched on major online shopping platforms today – is available in three colors - gray, blue and black. Additional color combinations are being contemplated according to a company spokesperson.

Founder & CEO, Tim DePuy, stated "The Higher Gear Products® Car Trunk Organizer is the result of hundreds of hours of research into this deceptively simple car and home accessory. 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".

Based in Steamboat Springs, CO, Higher Gear Products® sources or creates the very best lifestyle products for people who want to live smarter. The company was started when founder Tim DePuy realized that it was hard to find purposefully made lifestyle products that were of the highest quality and designed with smart functionality in mind. While available in the marketplace, no one had brought them together into one place, which was the impetus for the creation of the company.
