  • Presta Homenagem Ao Ministro Teori Zavascki, Indicado Para Compor O STF*
    Presta homenagem ao Ministro Teori Zavascki, indicado para compor o STF* O EXMO. SR. MINISTRO CASTRO MEIRA (PRESIDENTE): Srs. Ministros, Senhoras e Senhores, quero anunciar que estão presentes, conforme anuncia a Coordenadoria de Memória e Cultura, participando do Projeto Saber Universitário da Justiça, estudantes do curso de Direito da Faculdade Cenecista de Joinville, em Santa Catarina. Essa oportunidade é bastante grata, porque temos em nossa Seção o Ministro Teori Albino Zavascki. Gostaria de lembrar, rapidamente, que o Ministro Teori Albino Zavascki e, logo depois, eu, ingressamos no Superior Tribunal de Justiça no ano de 2003, quando houve uma profunda renovação no Supremo Tribunal Federal. Naquela oportunidade, sempre achei estranho que, entre os Ministros escolhidos para aquela alta Corte, não tivesse sido lembrado ninguém do STJ e aquilo dava um certo desconforto pessoal, porque parecia que se ignorava a presença de um Tribunal Superior do porte do STJ. De lá para cá, porém, verifi camos que as coisas mudaram. Há pouco tempo, tivemos a primeira escolha do STJ nesses últimos anos, com o Ministro Carlos Alberto Menezes de Direito, que, como todos sabemos, honrou esta Corte, honrou o País e honrou o Supremo Tribunal Federal, com uma atuação brilhante e da maior importância, sobretudo naqueles processos fundamentais no interesse da comunidade jurídica. O Ministro Luiz Fux foi recentemente também elevado à dignidade da Suprema Corte e, nesses últimos dias, tivemos uma grata satisfação – embora essa satisfação vá misturada com uma certa saudade antecipada –, com a escolha do Ministro Teori Albino Zavasck. O Sr. Ministro Teori Zavascki, creio que podemos resumir dizendo que é o homem certo, na hora certa, para o lugar certo.

  • Page 1 of 5 Interview: Marcelo Odebrecht, President of Odebrecht
    Interview: Marcelo Odebrecht, President of Odebrecht --“Brazilian industry is tied to the BNDES’s apron strings. Nobody goes to the capital market for financing.”— Brazilian industry, hobbled by cheap imports and high taxes, faces daunting challenges, both home- grown and international, according to Marcelo Odebrecht, president of one of Brazil’s largest conglomerates. Odebrecht holdings cover the waterfront, ranging from construction to energy and petrochemicals. At a recent conference sponsored by Credit Suisse, Odebrecht noted the need for carefully calibrated government policies, including intervention in some areas and freedom for market forces in others. Excerpts follow: • On the market for electric power: “Electric power is a segment that should see significant growth in the next few years, but the big problem is taxes. Half the cost of generating power is taxation. As for rates, it makes no sense for the government to set rates. Rates should be determined by demand in the market.” • On development of the pre-salt oil reserve: “The pre-salt (oil drilling) region is a reality. Its development is only a question of time. Brazil’s option—to develop the entire production chain from beginning to end—is the right one. I think there’s a lot of lobbying going on against this idea.” • On pre-salt investments and Petrobras: “The biggest challenge for Petrobras right now is the volume and timing of its investments. These are huge investments, which are very important for the country’s growth. Things would be easier for Petrobras if the investment schedule were less daunting.” • On price controls and Petrobras: “Brazil has always had price controls.

    Original article The use of playing by the nursing staff on palliative care for children with cancer Revista Gaúcha O uso do brincar pela equipe de enfermagem de Enfermagem no cuidado paliativo de crianças com câncer El uso de jugar del equipo de enfermería en cuidados paliativos de niños con cáncer Vanessa Albuquerque Soaresa Liliane Faria da Silvab Emília Gallindo Cursinoc Fernanda Garcia Bezerra Goesd DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/1983- ABSTRACT 1447.2014.03.43224 This study aimed to describe ways of using play by the nursing staff on palliative care of children with cancer and analyze the fa- cilitators and barriers of the use of playing on this type of care. Qualitative, descriptive research developed on November 2012 with 11 health professionals, in a public hospital of the state of Rio de Janeiro. Semi-structured interviews and thematic analysis of the information were conducted. The use of playing before procedures was highlighted as a facilitator on palliative care. The child’s physical condition, one’s restriction, resistance of some professionals and the lack of time for developing this activity, made the use of play harder. We concluded that playing enables the child with cancer, in palliative care, a humanized assistance, being fundamental to integrate it on the care for these children. Descriptors: Palliative care. Pediatric nursing. Play and playthings. Neoplasms. RESUMO O estudo teve como objetivos descrever as formas de utilização do brincar pela equipe de enfermagem no cuidado paliativo de crianças com câncer e analisar as facilidades e difi culdades do uso do brincar neste cuidado.

ALBUM FACTS Genre: Rock Producers: Devendra Banhart & Paul Butler Special Packaging Info: Includes a 36-page booklet with all illustrations and drawings done by Devandra Description: What Will We Be has a sunny, breezy feel with performances that evoke warm, lazy afternoons spent with good friends. The album is dominated by powerfully melodic, mid-tempo numbers played with relaxed expertise. But there's also ambitious stylistic range displayed with the inclusion of evanescent ballads like "Meet Me At the Lookout Point," the epic riff-rocker "Rats" sprightly R&B flavored groovers on "Baby," and the sultry Latin-flavored stunner "Brindo," the Roxy-inspired "16th & Valencia Roxy Music" among other pleasant surprises. What Will We Be was recorded in a sleepy Northern California town throughout the Spring of 2009, and was co-produced by Paul Butler (from UK outfit Band Of Bees). This is the second album Devendra's recorded with the same crew of players: Noah Georgeson (producer of Banhart's last two albums, Little Joy, Bert Jansch and Joanna Newsome) on guitar and backing vocals, Greg Rogove (Priestbird) on drums and backing vocals; Luckey Remington (The Pleased) on bass and vocals and Rodrigo Amarante (Los Hermanos, Little Joy) on guitar and backing vocals.

Publicado por: Juventud Rebelde BRASILIA, junio 6. — El ministro de Turismo del gobierno provisional de Brasil, Henrique Eduardo Alves, quedó atrapado este lunes en el esquema de corrupción de Petrobras cuando el procurador general Rodrigo Janot lo acusó de obtener recursos desviados de la petrolera. En una reciente comunicación oficial enviada al Supremo Tribunal Federal, Janot alegó que Alves actuó en el Congreso para favorecer a la empresa OAS y obtener a cambio parte de los fondos salidos ilícitamente de Petrobras, según reportó Prensa Latina. De acuerdo con el despacho del Procurador General, reseñado por el diario digital Brasil 247, parte del dinero habría servido para la campaña electoral de Alves, quien aspiró a gobernador del estado de Río Grande del Norte en 2014, pero resultó derrotado en las urnas. Las negociaciones del titular de Turismo involucraban al expresidente de la Cámara de Diputados Eduardo Cunha y al extitular de la OAS Leo Pinheiro, agregó. El pedido de investigación solicitado por Janot al STF menciona también, entre otros nombres, el del propio presidente interino Michel Temer y su secretario de Gobierno Geddel Vieira Lima.

    The state of Brazil: Bleakness beyond the Olympics "Brazil," Charles de Gaulle quipped in late 1950s, "is the country of the future - and always will be". Many a true word is said in jest. Yesterday evening (Sunday 21st August) was one of those moments when Brazil projected the image of modernity, excitement and underlying competence the country’s government and fiercely proud people badly want the world to see. Against a background of colour and song, oomph and excitement, pride and revelry, Brazil capped off a successful three-week Olympics, handing over the baton to Tokyo 2020. Once allies, now foes: Temer and Dilma While it is fair to say that Brazil successfully managed to confound the nay-sayers and avoid the much- speculated construction delays and pollution problems many feared would scar the games, the country can no longer hide behind its Olympic fig-leaf. Brazil is facing a profound political and economic crisis due to gombeenism of its leaders, the inflexibility of its legal structures and a challenging global economic landscape that presents numerous challenges the country is simply not fit to meet. Po litical meltdown On 12th May, the lower house of the Brazilian Congress voted by a two to one margin in support of the impeachment of Dilma Rousseff, the former Marxist guerrilla who has served as the country’s President since 2011. The proceedings, conducted against the backdrop of a spiralling public debt crisis and rising unemployment, were a stunning turnaround for a President who had enjoyed approval ratings of up to 70 per cent just two and a half years ago.

  • Rodrigo Amarante Shares New Single/Video, “Tango” New Album, Drama, out Next Friday, July 16Th on Polyvinyl
    July 8, 2021 For Immediate Release Rodrigo Amarante Shares New Single/Video, “Tango” New Album, Drama, Out Next Friday, July 16th on Polyvinyl (Photo by Eliot Lee Hazel) “[Rodrigo Amarante’s] music has its own push and pull, with three-against-two rhythms and a tangle of instrumental lines — guitars, percussion, a nasal synthesizer, a horn section, some whistling — that interlock but sound like they might collide at any moment. It sounds charmingly ramshackle; it’s not.” — The New York Times “[Rodrigo Amarante’s] rich voice and inventive, genre-crossing arrangements make for music that remains as vital as ever." — The AV Club (“Albums We Can’t Wait to Hear in July”) “...on ‘Drama,’ his first solo record in seven years, the Rio-born and L.A.-based Amarante brings a collection of breezy, tropicalia-soaked songs sung in both Portuguese and English.” — Paste (“The 10 Albums We're Most Excited About in July”) "It's hard to not be captivated by Brazilian singer-songwriter Rodrigo Amarante's limber rhythms and infectious vocal melodies. So, let yourself be.” — MTV News Next Friday, July 16th, Rodrigo Amarante will release his new album, Drama, via Polyvinyl. Today, he presents its third single/video, “Tango,” which may be the key to the theme of the album. Over a buttery melody and accommodating arrangement, “Tango” is a song about a relationship disguised as a partner dancing lesson: exploring one’s need for support, struggling with voicing that, and eventually finding it. “When I wrote this song I was projecting the idea of a love that lasts, one that is mutually supportive and reliable, safe in that sense, and I can't imagine that being possible without a good dose of sense of humor,” says Amarante.
