MONACO – Max Verstappen wrote another piece of Red Bull history on Sunday with a 39th win that sent him past Germany's now-retired Sebastian Vettel as the driver with most victories for the Formula One team. Vettel is still ahead of the Dutchman 4-2 on championships won but Verstappen, 25, has plenty of time on his side to match or surpass that mark with a third title surely on its way this season. Verstappen is 39 points ahead of Mexican teammate and closest rival Sergio Perez after winning four of six rounds with 16 remaining to be raced.

When does the unsettling awareness of your own heartbeat set in? What makes your soul sing? Eros, ludus, and agàpe are just some of the many words coined by ancient Greek philosophers to expound on the convoluted concept that is human 'love,' as well as its relative emotions. To some extent, it can be said that they succeeded in this regard—in giving faces to the multitudinous forms of love that exist between the cracks and in the open. For indeed, love in its absolute abstraction, in its nuanced and many forms, is different for every individual.

Jessurun has worked as a child and adolescent psychotherapist and clinical psychologist for more than 30 years. Throughout his career, he has worked with high-gifted dropouts. "These were young people with many talents and capabilities, who still failed to perform to their full potential," he says. According to him, they were often not seen for who they were and what they were capable of. He calls this phenomenon chronic relative underperformance. "And it makes you sick," he hypothesizes. Mentalizing "When people don't feel seen, something happens to them," he continues.

I read with keen interest the editorial 'Shabby treatment of health workers' (4/27/23) as it was published while I was in Lahug, Cebu City, taking part as the live voiceover for the 24th National General Assembly of the Philippine League of Government and Private Midwives, Inc. (PLGPMI). Held from April 26 to 28, 2023, the event was attended by 3,200-plus midwives from Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. Excluded from the tally were even more midwives who participated virtually. Deprived of three successive general assemblies that would have otherwise been held in 2020, 2021, and 2022 if not for the COVID pandemic, they came to the Waterfront Hotel and Convention Center in full force to listen in rapt attention to the distinguished speakers who discussed wide-ranging topics related to their most noble profession.

Dating to the 18th Century, the Ottoman mansions of Safranbolu are an extraordinary – and beautiful – example of sustainable architectural design. It was a sunny June morning when I arrived in the historic city of Safranbolu in northern Turkey. The former Ottoman town was abuzz with life – an old caravanserai was welcoming new guests and alluring boutiques were selling everything from handmade soaps to saffron-flavoured lokum (a Turkish dessert). Yet, what caught my eye were the hundreds of timber-laced mansions that dotted the town's quaint alleyways.

The first round of the River Revival Voucher program injected an estimated $3.1 million into the Murray River, Lakes and Coorong and Riverland visitor economies. In a double win for the regions, a survey of voucher users found the voucher program not only pumped expenditure in the regions, but greatly increased awareness of what the Murray River has to offer. The South Australian Tourism Commission surveyed people who redeemed a voucher in round one, with results showing the program had an immediate economic boost for tourism businesses impacted by the once-in-a-century flood last summer.
