Happiness is everywhere—on the best-seller lists, in the minds of policymakers, and front and center for economists—yet it remains elusive. The golden rule of economics has always been that well-being is a simple function of income. That’s why nations and people alike strive for higher incomes—money gives us choice and a measure of freedom....

Monkeypox, a disease that usually spreads only in West and Central Africa, has infected thousands of people around the world in recent months, particularly in Europe. The disease was first detected in research monkeys decades ago, hence the name, but its exact origins are still unknown.

However, things haven’t been going according to plan for the former Bellator and UFC lightweight champion. Eddie Alvarez faced Iuri Lapicus at ‘ONE on TNT 1’ on April 7, 2021, and suffered a disqualification (DQ) illegal for strikes to the back of his opponent’s head. The referee’s call was controversial, to say the least. Recently, ONE Championship officials decided to overturn the DQ to a no-contest, and while it offered some respite, many felt that it should have been a win....

Three months in “office,” Cécilia, 49, had set herself apart from her predecessors in France and from the current crop of European First Spouses, who steer clear of public affairs. A former fashion model—tall, feline, reticent at times—she had seemed like the last First Lady who would throw herself brazenly into the world of international diplomacy. While her husband angled ferociously for the presidency, two years ago Cécilia said the prospect of being First Lady “bored” her....

A modder who goes by Jaycie has been working on a mod for Quake that retells the story of The Stanley Parable, a game that incorporates the magnificent voice-over work of Kevan Brighting. A recent post to the developer’s Twitter page shows some of the areas that are currently being designed, with the distinctive UI and weapons from the original Quake. Given the classic game’s aesthetics, it does make the Stanley Parable mod look like a demake of sorts....

In his first interview after Tuesday’s presidential debate, Wallace told the New York Times candidates could still talk over each other and “disrupt the proceedings” if their microphones are muted. “As a practical matter, even if the president’s microphone had been shut, he still could have continued to interrupt, and it might well have been picked up on Biden’s microphone, and it still would have disrupted the proceedings in the hall,” he said....

Nerazzurri coach Luciano Spalletti suggested earlier this month that Inter were working on a deal to bring in Modric, yet Madrid boss Julen Lopetegui has insisted the 32-year-old is going nowhere. Modric had been expected to be back at the club on Wednesday having been granted an extended break after helping his country reach the World Cup final less than a month ago. And Madrid uploaded a series of images onto their website of Wednesday’s training session, which included the Croatian midfielder, under the headline ‘Modric joins training in Real Madrid City’....

Azharuddin starts a new trend Former India captain Azharuddin must be mighty pleased after former Australian skipper Ricky Ponting called him one of India’s best captains. The third most successful Indian Test captain, after Dhoni and Ganguly, the former Hyderabad batsman had captaincy thrust upon him in 1989 of a team which boasted of much senior players like Kapil Dev, Ravi Shastri and Manoj Prabhakar. Results were along expected lines - he could force only one win in his first 17 tests....

Realmuto hit an opposite-field solo homer to right in the fourth at Tokyo Dome, and Mitch Haniger scored the go-ahead run from second in a four-run fifth when Japan starter Shinsaburo Tawata threw wildly for an error on Whit Merrifield’s bunt. One out later, Molina chased Tawata with an opposite-field, three-run homer to right for a 5-1 lead. The nine-time Gold Glove catcher picked off Seiji Uebayashi in the fourth inning....

Molinari sits top of the standings and only needs a top-five finish at the DP World Tour Championship to depose Europe team-mate and close friend Fleetwood, who must win the tournament and hope the Italian fails to achieve his objective in order to retain the title. The pair were dubbed ‘Moliwood’ after winning all four of their matches as a pairing at the Ryder Cup as Europe reclaimed the trophy with a 17....

Lee Reynolds, 34, thought he had “plenty of time” when Natalie Whitton, 31, went into labor in the early hours of Wednesday, July 27, with their second child. But as the pair were blasting along the M65 highway, near Burnley, in the north of England, in the U.K., he watched in shock as his new baby, Harrison, “shot out” into the footwell of his Ford Fiesta station wagon. Reynolds, who was on the phone to a midwife throughout most of the journey, said he remembered thinking, “Oh, sh*t!...

“Call me. I suffer,” writes one mom. And another: “tell me about face book. do you have a page on it? can anyone look at your page? I am worried about this type of thing.” Then there’s the short, but direct variety: “std’s are on the rise. love, mom.” These are the kinds of e-mails that a lot of us already forward to our friends for their amusement. In fact, that’s how the two women who started the blog came up with the project....

Valere Germain - who spent last season on loan at Nice - opened the scoring early in the second half with a strong header from close range, before Falcao’s brace sealed a vital win. Both sides went into the game level on 49 points - with Monaco holding the edge on goal difference - after Bernardo Silva salvaged a point for Leonardo Jardim’s men against holders Paris Saint-Germain last week with his stoppage-time equaliser....

Monaco 40/1 to win Champions League The 18-year-old was an unused substitute for the champions’ 4-1 victory on Sunday that saw them keep up their winning start to the Ligue 1 season. Mbappe picked up an injury in last week’s 3-2 win over Toulouse and was not risked during the routine triumph at Stade Gaston Gerard, in which Radamel Falcao scored a hat-trick and Jemerson was also on target....
