Tony Sammartino has no idea when he will next hug his three-year-old daughter, but itâs almost guaranteed it wonât be for another year at the earliest.
âThese are the best years of her life, and they should be the best of mine too. And theyâre slipping away.â
Tony hasnât seen Maria Teresa, nor her mother and his partner, Maria Pena, since March 2020, when he was in the Philippines with their other daughter, Liliana.
Before the pandemic, the family of four split their lives between Melbourne and Subic, a coastal city north-west of Manila, spending roughly half a year in each parentâs home country.

The FINANCIAL In the fields of economics and business, decision-making is key. How do consumers choose which item to purchase or which business to patronise? How do those working in the financial markets decide whether they think a given stock will go up or down in value? Sometimes our behaviour in these areas can appear irrational – perhaps a subscription trap has been sprung and caught us or we will oppose wealth redistribution despite being low on the income scale.
University of Amsterdam notes that behind most of the decisions we take in these areas there are cognitive biases at work, leading us in one direction or another. It is in this field, on the border of economics and psychology, that UvA researcher Frieder Neunhoeffer works. Neunhoeffer will defend his doctoral thesis on 20 May at the University of Amsterdam.

Recycling is viewed by environmental groups as one important way to reduce new mining projects.
The world’s biggest lithium miner wants to extract more of the battery metal from old cars as demand surges and aging electric vehicles are traded in.
Albemarle Corp. is making investments and partnering with automotive equipment manufacturers on the recycling effort, which it calls “critical” to its future growth.
