HJ Heinz Company: The Ketchup People

Walk into any diner in America and you’re likely to see his name on ketchup bottles on pickle jars. Henry J Heinz has been a part of American culture for more than a century. Heinz sold his products on every continent. He coined one of the most memorable lines in the history of advertising “57 varieties”. He was an obsessive genius, yet in an era of domineering bosses and robber barons Heinz motivated his employees with kindness. HJ Heinz was certainly an uncommon man devoted to his religion, his family and his pickles but not necessarily in that order.

Russia launches new Kyiv attack

Russia and Ukraine have launched more overnight air attacks on each other’s capitals, with two people killed as a result of the strikes on Kyiv and swarms of drones destroyed on their approach to Moscow. Falling debris from destroyed drones sparked fires in apartments and buildings across three of Kyiv’s districts, killing two people in the busy, urban Shevchenkivskyi district, Ukraine’s emergency service said. Four children were among seven people who sustained injuries as a result of the drone attack on Kyiv that came just hours after Russia sent missiles to the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv’s Mayor Vitali Klitschko said.
