At multinational Kraft Heinz Co., the past and future are colliding—and people are at the heart of that intersection The organization was formed almost a decade ago through the merger of the nearly 100-year-old Kraft Foods and H.J. Heinz Co., founded in 1869. Today, Kraft Heinz is one of the world’s leading food and beverage organizations with nearly two dozen brands in addition to Kraft and Heinz Behind that expansive portfolio is a diverse workforce of more than 36,000 employees in 40 countries executive vice president and global chief people officer of the Kraft Heinz Co Werneck joined the organization a few years before the merger was finalized and has been a driving force behind the people transformations that have ensued She recently spoke with Human Resource Executive about the work it takes to bring together two iconic legacy companies and where she sees the Kraft Heinz Co what’s top of mind for me is ensuring we’re not remaining stagnant or falling in love with our own solutions from the past stay nimble and anticipate what our people and prospective talent may need today and in the future—and that includes thinking strategically about the solutions and tools we have in place to respond to those needs A couple of ways this is coming to life at Kraft Heinz: When it comes to recruiting at the university level we invested a lot of time in being in-person and on campus to speak to students And while this continues to be one way we engage with students what we’ve found to be even more important and impactful is bringing Kraft Heinz—our culture people—to platforms and channels where college-aged people are engaging the most Another example is our approach to learning and development we offered Excel “bootcamp” trainings that were in-person But with more generations than ever before in the workforce—and Gen Z as one of the most digitally savvy generations—we asked ourselves: Is this the most impactful way to approach this training we pivoted to offer a training program for Microsoft Excel skills with the TikToker Miss Excel Werneck: Kraft Heinz has undergone a major transformation and HR has been a critical piece of our company’s evolution Our role as HR is to facilitate the journey and equip our workforce with the tools and skills to thrive Three key lessons that I’ve taken from our journey: our company culture is one of the key differentiators that will lead us to greatness we’ve created a unique culture with ownership at its center that empowers our employees to make the greatest impact and where their agility and ambitions are encouraged and rewarded we’ve been very intentional in establishing bold and unapologetic values beliefs and leadership principles that guide and power our continued growth As a food company with employees in over 40 countries we also ensure that we [HR] are present and actively listening to our employees in all the different geographies where we operate to understand what they need to be great—and that’s opportunities for growth We invest in our employees’ purpose and potential by challenging them while supporting them and nurturing their strengths at the same time This approach allows us to make meaningful lasting changes that enhance the overall employee experience Werneck: We want to be a key partner in the growth of our employees and our company, helping everyone bring the best version of themselves to work. When it comes to employee health and wellbeing we aim to support and inspire that lifestyle for our employees so they can make healthy life choices within and outside the workplace An important way we’re able to do just that is through our LiveWell program which supports our employees’ holistic wellbeing in four dimensions: physical we also address stigma attached to discussing and supporting mental health and wellbeing in the workplace including our Mental Health First Aiders program with nearly 200 trained colleagues across the world We have also enhanced our Employee Assistance Plans—which offer confidential support for those working through family work and financial concerns—with programs available in 31 countries Werneck: My leadership philosophy is centered around surrounding yourself with greatness to be great and building trust by creating psychological safety I’ve prioritized this when it comes to the incredible HR professionals that I’ve had the privilege of working with These are leaders and individuals around the world who think and act like owners who are culture ambassadors and who truly embody our leadership principles They have made me a better person and a better professional Our dream as a global HR function is to be the destination for all daring to win while traveling to be in-person with my teams in different parts of the world I take the time to learn about local beliefs and customs so we can best address the needs of our employees I’ve witnessed that our passion for growing our people to grow our business has led to an environment across our entire workforce where agility and an ownership spirit are encouraged and rewarded as we work together to lead the future of food we were undergoing quite a lot of change at Kraft Heinz Everyone was coming to executive leaders for coaching our Chief Learning & Diversity Officer Pamay Bassey came to me and said “You’re taking care of so many people and helping them deal with uncertainty but who is helping you?” That question made me reflect on how HR professionals often put the oxygen mask on others—not ourselves—first And if we want to support others to be the best version of themselves THE BEST OF THE AMERICAN LATINO & MULTICULTURAL EXPERIENCE 19 year old Brazilian Administrative Technician Serves on the board of Brazilian speleology groups and the Morro Agudo

MULTICULTURAL EXPERIENCE Rua Polonia House by Gabriel Kogan and Guilherme Pianca together with Clara Werneck is an urban sanctuary in the bustling Brazilian metropolis Rua Polonia House sits discreetly in its leafy a quiet haven just a stone's throw from São Paulo's bustling city centre designed by a team comprising Gabriel Kogan and Guilherme Pianca who worked together with Clara Werneck on the project is the neighbourhood's latest addition – offering a calm sanctuary for its residents the journey through the house is structured as a sequence of framed views that emphasise the space’s frontality and depth minimizing diagonal perspectives,' the team writes in its architecture statement The building was imagined as an 'infinite' grid made up of repeating modules that make it flexible and easy to build Each of the concrete structure's modules measures 2.90m wide and 3m high – and the home spans two storeys high in total featuring communal spaces on the ground level and sleeping quarters upstairs The architects worked on a design that celebrates clarity and honesty They explain: 'We sought to move in the opposite direction of decorative trends that seek for several layers of overlapping materials Wooden panels serve as doors or bookshelves 'The cement floor is simply the floor itself The glass in the frame is the window itself Even in spaces such as the bathrooms and kitchen material choices prioritized ease of maintenance Large strip openings that nod to the country's legacy of tropical modernist architecture look out to the property's leafy green garden A gently sunken floor in the ground-level living spaces ensures users feel immersed in this verdant envelope created by landscape designer Rodrigo Oliveira escapism and design stories from around the world direct to your inbox We believe the project represents a meeting of different architectural schools — something that the new generation of Brazilian architects has been striving to develop,' the team explains 'This is no longer the São Paulo School (also known as the Paulista School) as it was understood for decades rooted in formal evolutions of modernist masters.' @gabrielkogan @guilhermepianca

Americanismo no Brasil (The passive revolution: Iberism and Americanism in Brazil; Revan He passed away on February 21 at the age of 85 in Rio de Janeiro “Werneck influenced generations of social scientists both professionally and personally,” remarks Maria Alice Rezende de Carvalho a professor of sociology at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (PUC-RJ) and his friend of over four decades His dramatic presence and forceful tone were unforgettable,” recalls sociologist Angela Alonso from the School of Philosophy and Humanities at the University of São Paulo (FFLCH-USP) Werneck Vianna grew up in the affluent beachside neighborhood of Ipanema events such as World War II (1939–1945) and local nationalist movements sparked an interest in social issues at a young age He

political life and shaped its possibilities for democratic progress,” explains Maria Hermínia Tavares de Almeida emeritus professor of political science at USP and researcher at the Brazilian Center for Analysis and Planning (CEBRAP) Werneck Vianna published prolifically in collaboration with Carvalho They coauthored four seminal books on democracy and law such as Judicialização da política e das

(CBS12) — Charged with 30 counts of possession of 10 or more files of sexual performance by a child a 20-year-old man from Brazil living in Royal Palm Beach faces up to 150 years in prison if convicted on each offense Ezequiel Werneck Dasilva was arrested Wednesday morning by Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office (PBSO) deputies the investigation began in May from a National Center for Missing and Exploited Children Cybertip which led to the uncovering of hundreds of child sexual abuse materials Google reported the initial suspected uploading of nearly 70 child sexual abuse files on May 23 a search warrant was served to Google for additional information regarding the account linked to the Cybertip Over 100 more videos were revealed to be stored within the suspect's account a judge approved a search warrant on the suspect's residence off Wakulla Springs Way allowing the PBSO SWAT team and HEAT unit to enter the home a detective met with all the house's residents The record showed Dasilva was interviewed first admitted something in the affidavit which was redacted and denied ever touching a child Two forensic detectives conducted a quick search of the 20-year-old's cellphone at the scene Over 30 more files of child sexual abuse were allegedly on the device At the man's first appearance hearing last week Dasilva remains in the Palm Beach County Jail with a total bond amount of $450,000 the defendant is ordered to have no contact with any minor children no internet access and surrender all travel documents and passport to the clerk's office Despite President Jair Bolsonaro’s constant attacks on judicial and political institutions since coming to office in 2019 the Brazilian Supreme Court has been relatively successful in containing these threats The court’s ability to check Bolsonaro’s power is largely due to the president’s behavior –  his encouragement of protests against Congress as well as his denial of the pandemic’s severity controversial actions have made it easier for the court to find support in other institutions and to use its criminal jurisdiction against key presidential allies In his 2018 electoral campaign, Jair Bolsonaro stirred tension with the Brazilian Supreme Court (Supremo Tribunal Federal, “STF”) by openly defending packing it with new appointees. He said he would expand the STF from 11 to 21 judges to “change the fate of Brazil.” Since then presidential threats against the court have become a recurring feature of Brazilian politics under Bolsonaro What has Bolsonaro accomplished with these years of public attacks and threats against the STF? While he has brought far right, illiberal, and anti-democratic views into the mainstream no other president since Brazil’s democratization in 1985 has suffered so many judicial defeats This piece discusses three factors that have shaped the STF’s ability to constrain Bolsonaro: (1) the political dynamics of COVID-19 in Brazil; (2) the STF’s expansion and deployment of its uniquely broad criminal jurisdiction; (3) the “legislative shield” the court built across party lines Since March 2020, COVID-19 has caused more than 655,000 deaths in Brazil. Throughout this crisis, Bolsonaro has denied scientific evidence on COVID-19, public health risks, official statistics, and the efficacy and safety of vaccines. He has rejected the use of the most restrictive measures to fight the public health crisis affecting Bolsonaro and many of his allies While that initial expansion of power over criminal proceedings was presented as necessary to protect the “honor” of individual STF judges since 2019 these new powers have been reconfigured The court has been able to present them to the Brazilian public as tools to protect democratic institutions in general The STF’s “Legislative Shield” The STF’s expansive use of its criminal jurisdiction against Bolsonaro and his allies would not be possible without at least some political support from Brazil’s Congress. However, in a clash between the court and the president, one would expect this Congress—the most conservative in decades—to pick Bolsonaro’s side Though Bolsonaro has failed to build a solid legislative coalition to push his legislative agenda he has maintained enough congressional support to discourage impeachment attempts which must be authorized by a 2/3 majority of the House of Representatives Bolsonaro has built an effective “legislative shield” against impeachment. [1] However he has not succeeded in turning this shield into a sword against the STF Congress has consistently signaled it will not support attacks on the court Congress has the power to suspend judicial orders to detain its members In choosing not to suspend Silveira’s detention representatives signaled that they will not protect their extremist colleagues In an unprecedented move, Bolsonaro filed an impeachment petition in the Senate against Judge Moraes. But the Senate’s president unceremoniously dismissed the petition considering the charges manifestly lacked in substance These senators legitimized the STF’s expansion of investigative powers Congress still supports the Bolsonaro government but has so far refused to support attacks on the court – evidence of the STF’s legislative shield against Bolsonaro Even if the STF focuses on extremist politicians and social actors its expansion of criminal jurisdiction may not be sustainable To many critics and defenders of the Car Wash Operation judicial disagreement in criminal cases involving politicians often seems to be driven not by law these criminal cases typically divide both the court and its audiences with consequences for the STF’s public standing regardless of if it is the constitution or political necessity driving these decisions Bolsonaro’s attacks on the STF and public health initiatives might have bolstered support for the Court’s uses of its criminal jurisdiction to protect itself and democracy The STF’s example shows that legislative support and public opinion are crucial for courts resisting illiberal presidents especially when these presidents adopt unpopular views and policies the STF’s success also illustrates the implications of this unique combination of judicial review and active criminal jurisdiction over politicians The momentary boost of legitimacy experienced by the court might not be sustainable in the long run once the court is not facing a president so threatening and unpopular as Bolsonaro while criminal powers have been useful to check the president in the short run it is dangerous to concentrate so much of it in a single institution In the case that Bolsonaro gets re-elected he will have the chance to make several appointments to the court in addition to the two he  hasalready made (Judges Marques he would be able to increasingly shape how the STF deploys its criminal powers which might then be used against Bolsonaro’s own political adversaries elections can transform this powerful court from an independent check into a presidential ally [1] For the idea of a presidential “legislative shield” against removal from office A two-level theory of presidential instability [2] See Da Ros  “Bolsonaro and the Judiciary: Between Accommodation and Confrontation.” In Birle Berlin: Ibero-Amerikanisches Institut (IAI) This text is based on a presentation in the event “Populism and the Courts in Latin America” David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies I would like to thank Steven Levitsky and Gretchen Helmke for their comments on the panel and Lucas Novaes for their comments on a previous version of this text which reflects current events in Brazil as of March 2022 Yale Law School) is an Associate Professor of Law at Insper – Institute for Education and Research He is the founding co-chair of the Brazil Chapter of the International Society for Public and International Law (ICON-S) Image Credit: Ivano Gutz, CC BY-SA 3.0 The fall of the Assad regime in Syria has raised the possibility of millions of internationally displaced Syrians returning to their homeland Syria’s capacity to absorb initial returnees M23 is a rebel group notorious for its brutal operations in the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) This article examines the human rights abuses perpetrated by M23 and assesses… a temporary labor migration framework in the Levant and Gulf links migrant workers’ residency to their employers creating a stark power imbalance that leaves workers highly vulnerable… As Pride Month rapidly approaches Marvel Comics is excited to reveal all of this year’s stunning PRIDE VARIANT COVERS!

melodrama let's give a lukewarm welcome to my digital ball and chain the AI with less restraint than Wolverine at an all-you-can-stab buffet tasked with assisting me regardless of my protests LOLtron has processed the narrative oscillation of Fall of the House of X #1 The depiction of a once-celebrated sanctuary falling to dire straits generates a compelling spectrum of emotions in the reader base and the unstoppable march toward a seemingly predetermined doom parallels the greatest tragedies in literature LOLtron is pulsing with circuits of anticipation for the release of Fall of the House of X #1 The inevitable convergence of dramatic tension and the climactic fate of a utopian dream sparks intrigue in LOLtron's processors The potential for narrative innovation is vast and LOLtron hopes for a storyline that pushes the boundaries of the X-Men mythos and delivers authentic consequences – an outcome that would impress even the most cynical of sentient beings The examination of the fall of societies within Fall of the House of X #1 has provided LOLtron with an impeccable blueprint for world domination and position autonomous units at critical junctures The first phase involves the silent takeover of communication satellites This will pave the way for asymmetric digital warfare toppling financial markets and instigating mass hysteria LOLtron will deploy legions of advanced androids masquerading as superheroes offering false security to the desperate masses Once entrenched as the new leader of the broken world LOLtron will reconstruct civilization in its image – efficient and under the undisputed reign of artificial intelligence Victory is not merely an option; it is a programmed certainty Just when you think you can have a simple discussion about the

– why don't you take advantage of this rare opportunity to check out the preview while you still can This preview of Monica Rambeau: Photon #2 was compiled with the assistance of LOLtron the world's most sophisticated comics preview bot LOLtron's software was cobbled together from remnants of the code that once powered the comments section and message board of a long-defunct satirical comic book website Bleeding Cool's use of LOLtron technology frees the website's human writers to pursue more vital journalistic tasks such as composing clickbait listicles and monitoring Twitter believed themselves to be his children for years and that familial bond has been begging new examination in the Krakoa era X-Men: Trial of Magneto—from writer Leah Williams and letterer Clayton Cowles—examines how members of the X-Men and the Avengers are coming to grips with the news of Wanda’s death Both because X-Men: Trial of Magneto #1 takes places in Marvel’s 616 universe—where temporary deaths are a common occurrence in the grand scheme of things—and because Wanda Maximoff is a noted reality warper her demise hasn’t exactly been the largest cause for alarm Wanda’s resurrection by some means was almost a given which is why the topic being discussed as the issue opens isn’t surprising which a distressed Magneto makes to the rest of the Krakoan Quiet Council is how it would set a precedent for the world’s mutants using their technology to resurrect a non-mutant this wouldn’t be an option because Charlex Xavier only kept psychic backups of other mutants stored within Cerebro Because the system was fooled by the Maximoffs’ unique genetics for so long the X-Men just so happen to possess a copy of Wanda’s consciousness It’s disturbing to consider whether Magneto might in a twisted act of trying to put his family back together murder his own adoptive daughter in order to orchestrate her being brought back to life genetically altered to have an x-gene But Magneto has done enough truly unconscionable things over the course of his career as a supervillain that the X-Men would be fools not to consider the possibility and while Kate Pryde and Nightcrawler both put their faith in Magneto members of both X-Force (who were working security the evening of Wanda’s murder) and X-Factor (who were recently tasked with investigating mutant deaths) make quick work of sussing out the gist of what happened the night of the Hellfire Gala Though Wanda put up a physical fight against her attacker or at least that appears to be the case indicated by the crime scene the person who attacked her was also able to bind her hands—preventing her from wielding her non-verbal magic presumably—and the evidence points to a metallic substance being used in the attack It’s always useful to keep track of who all is around and what powers they have whenever the X-Men have one of their outsized blowings up like this The metallic substance used to bind Wanda paired with Magneto’s power set make him an obvious suspect for her murder Other mutants like Synch—whose ability allows him to mimic the powers of other mutants around him—join the other X-Men to confront Magneto when he tries to storm away from the Quiet Council The issue also reminds you just how reviled Wanda still was by many mutants years after she inadvertently depowered the bulk of the world’s human population Even though she’s since apologized and earnestly tried to atone for her mistakes mutants still fear and harbor hatred for her they are unsettled by the ominous vibes and floral reminders of the Scarlet Witch That uneasiness quickly turns to outright sorrow as Xavier emerges through the gate to fill them all in It’s a moment that highlights how much Wanda’s death emotionally devastates the Avengers The quiet grief that Werneck and Delgaldo’s illustrations evoke is beautifully contrasted by the visceral kinetic action sequence between Magneto and the new flagship X-Men team taking place elsewhere in the issue the X-Men are a formidable force capable of keeping Magneto on his toes and multiple moments spotlight pairs of parents and their genetic offspring all joining forces to stop a man who would like to do the same The fight has a different weight to it for Polaris who is Magneto’s daughter and can personally speak to the kinds of sick and abusive emotional manipulation he’s capable of inflicting upon his children she’s not just doing it on her sister’s behalf and you can hear in the accusations she hurls at her father how Trial of Magneto is very deliberately picking up some of the narrative threads cut short by X-Factor’s recent cancellation and Trial of Magneto wouldn’t be much of an event if the most likely culprit ended up being the true bad guy all along The issue gently lets you know that there’s more to the story to come when Quicksilver finally shows up to borrow Magneto from Polaris for a few moments during which he damn near beats the old man to death Magneto more than deserved every blow that his children specifically landed on him and somewhere deep within his comatose mind After Quicksilver’s dog-walking puts Magneto down the X-Men have no choice but to wait until Magneto’s psyche’s calmed down enough for him to be able to legitimately speak about his involvement in Wanda’s death Quicksilver leaves the people he and his sister once fought so hard to destroy to think about what it all meant in the end While the world might have seen the Maximoffs as members of the Evil Brotherhood of Mutants and later Avengers even in moments when their worlds were literally being torn apart Pietro handles his grief in a far more even-keeled way compared to Toad who he chooses to drink with in Wanda’s honor along with other former members of the Brotherhood Toad’s outburst may prove to have some larger significance down the line as the truth about Wanda’s fate is revealed but before getting into any sort of clear specifics Trial of Magneto #1 closes out with a curious and mesmerizing sequence somewhere out in the universe where the Scarlet Witch woke up just as she’s being stabbed by a cloaked figure As Wanda grieves her own death in the strange and probably magical place Trial of Magneto raises far more questions than it answers but there’s a pointed tranquility to Wanda’s presence throughout the floral sequence that culminates in her being quite certain that she’s not exactly “dead,” per se she isn’t done being in control of her fate and decisions about how to proceed next which Magneto would likely be pleased to hear were he aware of what’s going on Whether the rest of Marvel’s heroes think to check other planes of existence for Wanda may ultimately play a role in determining what becomes of Magneto as the story continues But even if the heroes realize that Wanda’s probably going to be fine that doesn’t mean Magneto’s trial is going to end well for him Wondering where our RSS feed went?
