“DuPont is committed to continuously investing in and developing better solutions for animal producers, such as Axtra® PHY GOLD,– that enable the industry to further optimize feed cost and meet the challenges faced during feed production, like environmental impact.”

WILMINGTON, Del (PRWEB)
June 02, 2020

DuPont Nutrition & Biosciences announced today the launch of the industry-leading novel phytase enzyme, Axtra® PHY GOLD. The enzyme offers superior performance compared to other phytases on the market, delivering greater feed cost savings to producers. Axtra® PHY GOLD will be available in the United States, Mexico and India and eventually worldwide, pending regulatory authorizations.

Recent scientific studies demonstrate that Axtra® PHY GOLD’s ability to allow formulation of inorganic phosphate-free high phytate diets, improves sustainability of animal production. It also offers market-leading thermostability, proven to outperform other commercial phytases under a wide range of pelleting conditions, making it the natural choice for applications where pelleting performance is a primary concern.

Phytate is the main storage form of phosphorus in all grains, which represents the basis of most plant-based diets used in animal production. Phytases are enzymes that help break down phytate, allowing better absorption of phosphate and reducing or removing the need for addition of phosphate supplements in poultry and pig diets. The ideal phytase needs to break down phytate as quickly as possible to reduce the phytate’s negative impact. This requires an enzyme that is highly active at the low pH in an animal’s upper digestive tract. Axtra® PHY GOLD has been developed with this in mind.

“Most poultry and swine diets contain a phytase enzyme, which is an important contributor to the feed performance,” said Dr. Arno de Kreij, segment leader, DuPont Animal Nutrition. “DuPont is committed to continuously investing in and developing better solutions for animal producers, such as Axtra® PHY GOLD,– that enable the industry to further optimize feed cost and meet the challenges faced during feed production, like environmental impact.”

DuPont has an extensive history with phytase development and production. In 2003, the company launched Phyzyme® XP, the first bacterial enzyme, to help animal producers reduce phosphorus emissions, improve nutrient uptake and maximize phytate break down to drive profitability.

As most feed is pelleted, in 2009, DuPont introduced pioneering Thermo Protection Technology (Phyzyme® XP TPT) to the industry to deliver greater thermostability.

With Axtra® PHY, in 2013, the Company set a new benchmark of bioefficacy yet again. Due to its low pH optimum, Axtra® PHY was the most bioefficacious phytase on the market – until today.

“Axtra® PHY GOLD is a reinforcement of our leadership in phytase enzymes, and it will bring a modern, more advanced offering to the animal nutrition industry,” said de Kreij.

Axtra® PHY GOLD also supplies animal producers with numerous value-added services, such as diet and raw material analysis and feed formulation tools, in line with DuPont’s nutribiotic approach to working with customers on their holistic feed strategy. Nutribiosis is the interplay of three pillars: nutrition, microbiome and gut and immune function.

Shaina S. Kalanges

“I feel incredibly privileged to serve the people in the community that I grew up in by practicing law at Roth Melei Petsche Spencer. Through my opportunities with recent MCBA initiatives, I hope to bring awareness to the importance of attorney wellness and mentorship” Kalanges stated

CRYSTAL LAKE, Ill. (PRWEB)
June 02, 2020

Shaina initially developed her legal practice in bankruptcy, collections, foreclosure, commercial and civil litigation, and labor and employment law. She recently decided to expand her legal practice areas to include real estate, estate planning, probate, and divorce and family law to better serve the needs of her local community. Shaina credits this expansion to her mother (also a local attorney) and the partners at Roth Melei Petsche Spencer for their above and beyond encouragement, mentorship, and guidance. Shaina uses her ever-expanding knowledge of the law to counsel clients throughout the Chicagoland area. Currently, Shaina serves as the MCBA’s Young and New Lawyers Committee Chair, participates in the Lawyer-to-Lawyer Mentoring Program, and volunteers at the Attorney Help Desk in the McHenry County Courthouse.

Shaina is also a certified yoga and meditation instructor who aims to integrate her yoga practice with her legal practice by offering instruction to the local legal community. She takes an eclectic approach to teaching due to her variety of training in the areas of meditation, yogic breathing, yin yoga, restorative yoga, vinyasa flow, hot yoga, Ayurvedic medicine, and Thai massage. She emphasizes the relaxing mind/body healing properties of meditation and yoga in combination with developing strength, resilience, and mindfulness in every step—an important skill for every attorney to have.

At the same time, she was sworn in to practice law, Shaina served as a co-reporter for the ISBA’s Special Committee on the Impact of Law School Curriculum and Student Debt and hosted a Continuing Legal Education (CLE) for the KCBA with notable veteran guest testimonials to raise awareness and support veterans’ initiatives. She has several published works, including the KCBA brief that highlights the need for increased legal assistance for veterans once they return home to civilian life. Shaina’s law school experience and the veterans she worked with encouraged and inspired her to use her skills as a yoga practitioner to help individuals in dealing with extremely stressful situations—such as the highly demanding and ever-evolving practice of law.

As a young and new lawyer, Shaina quickly found out that mentorship and work-life balance were key factors in avoiding compassion fatigue and achieving her highest professional goals. In the MCBA’s May 2020 quarterly publication, she discusses how maintaining a work-life balance with a sense of presence via the practice of meditation fosters community, productivity, and well-being for attorneys during COVID-19 and beyond. Shaina takes this suggestion one step further by providing a mini tutorial and local resources to her readers to jump-start this process, even during the stay at home order and challenges presented by the current global pandemic.

Recently recognized as an Elite Lawyer, Shaina received this prestigious award for her outstanding work in the field of law. Elite Lawyer is a directory and rating service that awards and recognizes attorneys who have displayed a high degree of competence in their practice areas from their peers, community, bar associations, and committees.

After graduating cum laude from University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, Shaina graduated summa cum laude with a Juris Doctorate degree from Northern Illinois University College of Law. Shaina boasts a published student comment and was recognized in law school for scholarly achievements concerning critical analysis of complex Evidentiary, Constitutional, and Administrative Law issues. As a law student, Shaina was especially proud of her opportunity to extern with one of her greatest mentors, Justice Ann B. Jorgensen of the Second District Court of Appeals.

“I feel incredibly privileged to serve the people in the community that I grew up in by practicing law at Roth Melei Petsche Spencer. Through my opportunities with recent MCBA initiatives, I hope to bring awareness to the importance of attorney wellness and mentorship. I strongly believe that meditation, yoga, and mentorship are important must-haves for attorneys and professionals to serve as cornerstones of our community,” Kalanges stated after learning that her Alma Mater received a grant to install a special meditation room in Swen Parson Hall, where law students may reserve spots to attend yoga and meditation sessions for overall student well-being.

“The findings point to the immense level of distrust Americans have in the ability of elected officials to communicate information needed to manage the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Bojana Beric-Stojsic, MPH program and an Associate Professor of Public Health, FDU School of Pharmacy and Health Sciences.

MADISON, N.J. (PRWEB)
June 02, 2020

Americans are getting information about the coronavirus pandemic from political leaders and medical professionals, but confidence in those sources varies widely. A recent national survey conducted on behalf of the Fairleigh Dickinson University School of Pharmacy and Health Sciences finds that Americans are more likely to trust information that comes from medical professionals than politicians, with President Trump seen as least trustworthy regarding the information he provides. This and other findings from the survey suggest that Americans are putting their faith in medical expertise when it comes to getting critical information on how to best protect themselves and their loved ones from COVID-19. There are, however, substantial differences in who and what they trust based on a person’s politics and race.

The poll interviewed 1003 American adults nationwide on landlines and cell phones from May 20 through May 25, 2020.

Medical professionals top the list of those Americans say they trust most for information about the coronavirus. Fifty-eight percent say they have a “great deal” of trust in doctors and scientists, while government run websites are trusted by around a third of all Americans (36%). However, once political leaders become the source of information, Americans are more likely to distrust than trust what they see, hear, or read. Around a quarter (27%) have a great deal of trust in statewide elected officials, including their governor, and barely a fifth (22%) fully believe what their president tells them. In fact, the president is the only source who a majority (55%) of Americans distrust rather than trust.

“These findings point to the immense level of distrust Americans have in the ability of elected officials to communicate critical information needed to manage the COVID-19 pandemic and the obvious lack of meaningful leadership at the federal level,” said Bojana Beric-Stojsic, director of MPH program and an Associate Professor of Public Health, FDU School of Pharmacy and Health Sciences. “What is most surprising and very distressing is that only 58 percent of Americans have a great deal of trust in doctors and scientists in the midst of a health crisis.”

Americans do give doctors and scientists much higher marks than the president when it comes to evaluating the reasons for evolving and sometimes conflicting information. Almost eight-in-ten believe that doctors and scientists change their recommendations on how to prevent and treat the coronavirus based on newly discovered scientific evidence (77%) rather than bowing to political pressure (23%). The opposite is true when it comes to the president, as more than half (53%) say his recommendations often change for political reasons rather than newly emerging scientific evidence (47%).

There is, however, a significant partisan divide on these issues. Although clear majorities of both Democrats and Republicans say that changing recommendations from doctors and scientists are due to newly discovered scientific evidence, President Trump’s evolving statements are understood very differently. Eighty-four percent of Republicans believe science dictates the president’s statements, while virtually the same percentage of Democrats (86%) believe political pressures explain changes in President Trump’s public statements about how to prevent and treat COVID-19. A huge gap between Democrats and Republicans also characterizes perceptions of the overall trustworthiness of the president (3% versus 47%), with a smaller but still significant difference separating Democrats from Republicans on their willingness to extend a “great deal” of trust to statewide elected officials like the governor (36% versus 20%).

“It’s notable that not even among his own partisans and those who approve of the job he’s done in managing this crisis does the President get a majority to say the information he provides about the coronavirus can be trusted a great deal,” said Krista Jenkins, director of the FDU Poll and professor of government and politics.

There are also significant racial disparities in assessing Trump’s performance and trustworthiness. More black Americans (83%) disapprove of the President’s management of the pandemic compared to 43 percent of white and 62 percent of Hispanic respondents; and 70 percent of blacks have absolutely no trust that the President provides accurate information about the coronavirus, compared to 37 percent of whites and 44 percent of Hispanics. More black Americans (79%) also believe Trump changes his recommendations about the coronavirus due to political pressure compared to 47 percent of whites and 60 percent of Hispanics.

“Minorities have been hit hard by the virus. Navigating their way through this pandemic is apparently being made more difficult by the deep well of distrust that exists between President Trump and non-whites in the United States. These numbers only serve to underscore how black, white and Hispanic Americans experience life differently in the United States, even on matters of life and death,” said Jenkins.

When it comes to how medical and science professionals are perceived, partisanship also comes into play, with Republicans expressing greater levels of suspicion than Democrats. Three-quarters of Democrats say they trust doctors and scientists a great deal to provide them with solid information about the coronavirus. Significantly fewer Republicans say the same (43%). And a double digit divide separates partisans on the trustworthiness of information from government run websites, such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) (49% Democrats versus 24% Republicans).

Gender also reveals differences in how sources are regarded. Significant disparities exist between how much men and women trust websites like the CDC’s. Forty-two percent of women have a great deal of trust in what they read versus 29% of men. And, although majorities of both women and men give high marks to doctors and scientists for what they offer, women (63%) are more likely than men (54%) to do so.

Governors Trump Trump on Leadership

Governors are rated higher than President Trump on questions of leadership during the crisis. Sixty-nine percent approve of their governor’s job, with opinion divided on the job that the president has done (49%). The performance of state governors is regarded similarly by partisans of both stripes, but the President gets little love from Democrats (11% approve; 89% disapprove), and only about half of political independents say he’s doing a good job (48%).

State leaders generate mixed opinions among Americans who live somewhere with past or present mandatory restrictions on where they can go and what they can do. Among the 90 percent of Americans surveyed who live somewhere with mandatory restrictions, around half (46%) say their state has moved safely to reopen, with a greater number believing things have moved too quickly (31%) as compared with those who are concerned the pace has been too slow (23%). However, black respondents are even more critical of reopening efforts, as 51% of black respondents say states are reopening too quickly, compared to 26% of whites and 41% of Hispanics.

Finally, Americans give their neighbors high marks for the job they’ve done in helping the stop the spread of the virus. Around a quarter (22%) say those in their community are doing an “excellent” job with another 46 percent who give those around them a “good” rating. The rest rate their neighbors as “only fair” or “poor” when it comes to their efforts in stopping the spread of the virus and flattening the curve.

Methodology

The survey was conducted by The Fairleigh Dickinson University Poll on behalf of the FDU School of Pharmacy and Health Sciences. A random sample of 1003 was drawn of adults (18+) nationwide, including in Alaska and Hawaii, and live interviews were conducted in English and Spanish, upon request, on landlines and cell phones between May 20 through May 25, 2020. Persons without a telephone could not be included in the random selection process. Respondents within a household are selected by asking randomly for the youngest adult currently available. The interview was conducted in English and included 303 adults reached on a landline phone and 700 adults reached on a cell phone, all acquired through random digit dialing.

In this poll, the simple sampling error for 1003 adults is +/-3.6 percentage points (including the design effect) at a 95 percent confidence interval. Thus, if 50 percent of adults nationwide in this sample favor a particular position, we would be 95 percent sure that the true figure is between 46.4 and 53.6 percent (50 +/- 3.6) if all US adults had been interviewed, rather than just a sample.

The full analysis, along with the poll’s questions and tables and a detailed methodological statement, can be found on the FDU Poll website.

“At ClearVu we eliminate these worries, we bring transparency and deliver significant savings with no out-of-pocket expense,” stated Mr. Meyers

FREDERICK, Md. (PRWEB)
June 02, 2020

ClearVu School Services, a leader in group purchasing and supply services to support K-12 school nutritional programs, announces their unique approach to provide transparency and increase savings for school foodservice programs.

ClearVu School Services offers the largest group purchasing portfolio in the industry. With $22 billion in combine annual purchases and over 98,000 food and supply products. The group purchasing leverage with the manufacturing community provides immediate savings to school districts without interfering with existing distributor bids and meets USDA procurement regulations.

Accepted by over 1800 hundred distributors utilizing 350 brand name manufacturers, the group purchase portfolio has many of the products currently purchased by school foodservice programs. The portfolio is particularly effective in covering many of the off-bid purchases brought on by the Coronavirus.

Unlike other providers of group purchasing programs with rebates – ClearVu is completely transparent. Rebates are paid monthly with reporting of all financial information down to the invoice item level. Typical savings are 1-3% with no change to existing purchases practices.

“The biggest benefit with ClearVu is our knowledge of federal, state and local purchase regulations and management of USDA donated food programs,” says Cliff Meyers, President of ClearVu. “Our programs meet procurement regulations and we support our members with regulatory audits”.

ClearVu also offers support with micro purchases, informal purchases, invitations for bid, requests for proposals, Buy American initiatives, donated food further processing, multi-year contracting and audit compliance.

School foodservice procurement has been ignored by many group purchasing providers due to the lack of understanding or misunderstanding of governmental regulations. “At ClearVu we eliminate these worries, we bring transparency and deliver significant savings with no out-of-pocket expense,” stated Mr. Meyers. The global Coronavirus is causing major change to school nutritional programs, ClearVu is the only provider that can effectively assist schools in navigating these changes while reducing costs.

About ClearVu:

ClearVu School Services was founded on a simple premise. Busy school nutrition directors do not have the time and resources to keep up with governmental regulations, efficiently procure food and supplies, manage supplier relationships, cost, and rebates, while staying abreast of continuous changes in the market. ClearVu with their unmatched expertise, provides a way to handle those details while saving money. A lot of money.

In fact, our group purchasing power exceeds $22 billion. That leverage combined with distribution and industry expertise has enabled us to provide a safe and unmatched school foodservice purchasing support. Maximizing manufacturer rebates, reducing invoice costs, and providing up-to-date market and product insight. We guarantee we will outperform any other service provider.
