NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Jan. 6, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — In a year of uncertainty brought on by COVID-19, trust in new-home builders has improved this year, according to the Lifestory Research 2021 America’s Most Trusted® Study released today.  As the pandemic raced across the country, consumers turned to home builders as a safe haven as they sought ways to enhance their health and well-being.  As shoppers engaged with new home builders, they formed a bond of trust as reflected in an…

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Jan. 6, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — In a year of uncertainty brought on by COVID-19, trust in new-home builders has improved this year, according to the Lifestory Research 2021 America’s Most Trusted® Study released today.  As the pandemic raced across the country, consumers turned to home builders as a safe haven as they sought ways to enhance their health and well-being.  As shoppers engaged with new home builders, they formed a bond of trust as reflected in an increase in the Lifestory Research® Net Trust Quotient to 116.4 from 110.4 in the prior year. 

«Our research suggests the changes in the builder rankings in the year of COVID-19 is partly a result of the top builders being responsive to the effects of the pandemic on in-person shopping.  These builders gained trust in part by pivoting quickly to adopt online sales strategies as well as communicating shopper safety amid tremendous uncertainty,» said Eric Snider, President and Chief Research Officer of Lifestory Research.

The annual Lifestory Research America’s Most Trusted® Study examines trust among new home shoppers as they are actively in the process of looking for a new home.  The study tracks the homebuilder brands and 55+ active adult resort brands in the largest housing markets in the United States. Trust is measured through the Lifestory Research Net Trust Quotient Score, which identifies customers that are trust advocates and trust antagonists. 

America’s Most Trusted® Home Builder

The Lifestory Research 2021 America’s Most Trusted® Home Builder Study, in its ninth year, tracks the opinions of home shoppers about home builders and the housing market.  The Lifestory Research 2021 America’s Most Trusted® Home Builder Study ranks the largest home builders on the Net Trust Quotient Score based on the opinions of 48,317 people surveyed over the prior 12 months in 35 of the largest housing markets in the United States.

For the sixth consecutive time, Taylor Morrison has emerged as the top home builder brand in the Lifestory Research 2021 America’s Most Trusted® Home Builder Study.  As the 2021 Lifestory Research America’s Most Trusted® Home Builder brand, Taylor Morrison produced a Net Trust Quotient Score of 120.4 and received the 5 Star Trust Rating among people shopping for a new home. 

The sustained success of Taylor Morrison as the Most Trusted Builder in America® speaks to the brand’s success to continually establish trust among the waves of new home shoppers that enter the market each year.  «In a year in which everyone needed to trust others, a year in which people turned to those they trust the most, Taylor Morrison once again was the home builder brand people trusted the most,» said Eric Snider.

The annual ranking of national home builders is characterized this year by the rise of several builders into the top rankings.  Home builders included in the national ranking included Taylor Morrison, LGI Homes, Ashton Woods, Century Communities, K. Hovnanian Homes, Mattamy Homes, Drees Homes, Woodside Homes, Richmond American, Toll Brother, Shea Homes, M/I Homes, David Weekley Homes, Gehan Homes,  Meritage Homes, Beazer Homes, Highland Homes, Pulte Homes, Ryan Homes, D.R. Horton, Perry Homes, Lennar, and KB Home. Brands included in the national ranking were known throughout the United States as measured by brand awareness within the new home construction industry.

The Lifestory Research 2021 America’s Most Trusted® Active Adult Resort Builder is Trilogy by Shea Homes.  This is the ninth consecutive year in which customers who actively shop for a new home in an active adult 55+ resort community indicated Trilogy is the brand they trust the most.  As the 2020 Lifestory Research America’s Most Trusted® Active Adult Resort Builder brand, Trilogy received the 5 Star Trust Rating with a Net Trust Quotient Score of 122.3 among people actively shopping for an active adult resort community.  

The study’s active adult brands included Trilogy, Taylor Morrison, Four Seasons by K. Hovnanian, Toll Brothers, Del Webb, The Villages of Sumter Lake, and Lennar. The 2021 ranking is based on 15,222 opinions of people surveyed between January and December in the United States who indicated they were actively shopping for a new active adult resort 55 plus home.  Active adult builders, sometimes referenced as age-qualified or 55+ community builders, included in the national ranking were the brands most recognized throughout the United States.  To be included in the national rankings, brands needed to receive enough survey responses to achieve a 95% confidence level with no more than a 3% margin of error.

Coors Light Launches Campaign Supporting Tom «The Iceman» Flores’ Induction to The Hall

CHICAGO, Jan. 6, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Tom «The Iceman» Flores is a four-time pro-football champion and a trailblazing coach, but he has yet to receive his sport’s greatest honor: induction into the hall. A noted Coors Light drinker, Flores is about to get a big show of support from his favorite beer.

CHICAGO, Jan. 6, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Tom «The Iceman» Flores is a four-time pro-football champion and a trailblazing coach, but he has yet to receive his sport’s greatest honor: induction into the hall. A noted Coors Light drinker, Flores is about to get a big show of support from his favorite beer.

Coors Light honors Tom Flores with a limited-edition can featuring Flores' picture

Today, Coors Light is unveiling a new campaign that advocates for Flores’ rightful place among other football greats. The brand is honoring Flores’ barrier-breaking legacy as the first Latino player to serve as both starting quarterback and head coach, with a new video spot, a petition of support for beer drinkers to sign, and a limited-edition can with Flores’ picture alongside the iconic Coors Light mountains. To sweeten the deal, Coors Light will also give away up to 30,000 beers so fans can toast to Flores’ hopeful induction in February.*

«Although I have a good shot to be in the hall this year, it’s still nice to get a little extra support from my favorite beer. A beer that I used to distribute back in the day,» said Flores. «Self-promotion is not really my thing, but I admit that it’s flattering to see my picture on a Coors Light can.»

Today through February 6, fans ages 21+ can visit CoorsLight.com/Iceman to sign the petition of support. Coors Light has vowed to display the list of petitioners onto a mobile billboard in Canton, OH on the day of the vote.

The campaign’s 30-second spot will be airing on national TV and available on the site. Check out the English-language spot here and the Spanish-language version here.

«We’re honored to put Tom on our cans, but we won’t chill until he’s carved out of bronze,» said Marcelo Pascoa, global vice president of marketing for Coors Light. «With few Latino players currently in the hall, we believe The Iceman deserves to be recognized for being an outstanding player and coach who broke barriers for other Latino athletes. We hope this platform helps Flores inspire even more people than he already has.»

In addition to the new spot, this program will be supported with a robust marketing campaign that will be deployed across paid, owned and organic media, social influencers and media relations.

DENVER, Jan. 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Sana Packaging, a sustainable packaging brand that designs and develops cannabis packaging for a circular economy, today launched the cannabis industry’s first reclaimed ocean plastic jars: the Sana Ocean Jar 4.

«We’re really excited about the Sana Ocean Jar 4! It’s our first 100% reclaimed ocean plastic jar and the first jar we’re producing in-house. And while the Sana Ocean Jar 4 was designed to be used in conjunction with the Sana Ocean Screw-Top Lid, it’s compatible with all 53-400 closures,» said Co-Founder & CEO, Ron Basak-Smith.

The new Sana Ocean Ocean Jar 4 is certified child-resistant, made in the USA, number 2 recyclable, holds 4 oz volume, fits up to 7g of flower, and is perfect for flower, edibles, and topicals. Sana Packaging offers custom printing and labeling. These are available now for pre-order.

Sana Packaging is normalizing the concept of a circular economy and is accounting for the negative externalities of packaging waste so that they can serve as an example of the ways businesses can drive positive change.

Index takes into account the commitment of companies to greenhouse gas reduction targets

SÃO PAULO, Jan. 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — JBS S.A. (the «Company» or «JBS» – B3: JBSS3; OTCQX: JBSAY) in accordance with the terms of CVM Instruction No. 358, dated January 3, 2002, as amended, communicates to its shareholders and to the market in general that once again it was announced as one of the companies selected to be part of the Carbon Efficient Index («ICO2») of the B3, which takes into account the commitment of companies to greenhouse gas reduction targets.

The 2021 edition is the first to encompass companies listed on the IBrX 100 that formally submitted their greenhouse gas emissions inventories to B3. Previously, only those companies that were part of the IBrX 50, that is, the holders of the 50 most exchange-traded shares were invited.

JBS has received important acknowledgements in sustainability

A presence in the Carbon Efficient Index (ICO2) portfolio of B3 is not the only sustainability acknowledgement JBS has received. CDP, the largest and most respected global platform for corporate sustainability information, disclosed on December 8, the results of the reports for 2019, which showed that JBS had advanced in the criteria assessed, occupying the leading position among the Brazilian companies in the Food, Beverage & Tobacco sector.

The Company was assessed on three fronts:  Climate Change; Water Security; and Forests, the latter being subdivided into the categories Wood, Cattle and Soybean.  In 2020, JBS rose from B to A- in Climate Change, reaching leadership level in the issue, and from B- to B in Forests: Soybean, maintaining score B in the other items analyzed.

The advance in the ranking of the Coller FAIRR Protein Producer Index, published in November 2020, was another recent important acknowledgement received by JBS. The Company jumped eight positions in the overall classification (the highest among Brazilian companies listed on B3), growth that clearly demonstrates the commitment of JBS to advance its sustainable practices and transparency.

«This is a very significant validation and a clear demonstration that we are working hard on the transition to the low-carbon economy, in addition to providing the market with increasingly transparent data», points out Márcio Nappo, Sustainability director of JBS.

New Montefiore Study Demonstrates How Doctors & Caregivers Can Partner To Improve Children’s Care At Home After Hospitalization

NEW YORK, Jan. 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Many children need to take medication at home after being discharged from the hospital. Recent research conducted at the <a target="_blank"…

NEW YORK, Jan. 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Many children need to take medication at home after being discharged from the hospital. Recent research conducted at the Children’s Hospital at Montefiore (CHAM) and Albert Einstein College of Medicine found that 70 percent of caregivers either mismanage or don’t fully understand hospital discharge medication instructions, leading to problems such as wrong dosage or confusion about side effects. Now, the same CHAM investigators looked at ways to correct this issue and published their results in Pediatrics. They found medication-related failures can be reduced by almost 50 percent when there is a standardized approach to discharging patients with medications.

«When caregivers are responsible for giving their children medicines at home, it can be confusing and stressful,» said lead author Kaitlyn Philips, DO, assistant medical director of Pediatric Quality, CHAM, and assistant professor of pediatrics, Albert Einstein College of Medicine. «We want children to continue to get better in the comfort of their own home, so it’s vital that caregivers can confidently and safely give medications. Our research shows that when we have a consistent way of educating caregivers, we can reduce the chance that mistakes will be made.»

Dr. Philips is part of a dedicated quality improvement team at CHAM, created to identify issues and implement sustainable fixes to reduce preventable harm and improve patient safety. Supported in part by National Institute of Health grants, she and several other CHAM and Einstein investigators are studying problems affecting patient-care delivery and developing solutions for them. Dr. Philips is also a scholar in the Learning Health System Center of Excellence at Einstein and Montefiore, which provides mentoring and training on how to use data to continuously improve the delivery of care.

For the Pediatrics study, Dr. Philips sought to improve parental knowledge about their child’s medication needs and create clearer instructions to follow at home. She developed and implemented a program called MEDRITES, which stands for: 

  • Medication name
  • Engagement with the family
  • Dose, Route, Indications and Timing
  • Expected Effects and side Effects
  • Storage counseling and Syringe for accurate administration

Over the 12-month intervention period, caregivers received bedside medication counseling where the provider discussed each topic in MEDRITES in depth. The family also took home improved documentation with clear instructions. Within a week of being discharged, investigators held phone interviews with 249 caregivers, asking how well they understood and were able to follow the discharge instructions. Compared to the 157 patient caregivers interviewed before the program, people who discussed MEDRITES and received improved take-home documentation had better understanding of their child’s medication needs.

MEDRITES has been incorporated into another quality initiative at CHAM called «SAFER Care,» led by Audrey Uong, M.D., attending physician, CHAM, and assistant professor of pediatrics, Einstein. This initiative provides additional discharge guidance for families on topics including: how to prepare children to go back to school; when to follow up with their pediatrician; and what symptoms could indicate signs of relapse. Additionally, MEDRITES is incorporated into annual education for new doctors and several subspecialty providers are adopting a similar process for discharge medication counseling and documentation for their patients.

«The MEDRITES initiative demonstrates that making simple changes, like rounding medication doses to amounts that are appropriate and safe, but also easier to measure, can have a big impact on how children are cared for at home,» said Dr. Philips. «We believe this intervention could be used at hospitals throughout the country to help prevent medication-related errors for children.»

The manuscript is titled MEDRITES: A Project to Improve the Pediatric Inpatient Discharge Medication Process. It is co-authored by Roy Zhou, MD, Diana S. Lee, MD, Christine Marrese, MD, Joanne Nazif, MD, Constance Browne, PharmD, Mark Sinnett, PharmD, Steven Tuckman, BS Pharm, MBA, Anjali Modi, Michael L. Rinke, MD, PhD. The study was supported by the NIH/National Center for Advancing Translational Science (NCATS).
