But again, it’s what we do here. Bring you the goods and this is another good one. From UNICEF, the United States Agency for International Development and MTV’s End Exploitation and Trafficking comes this video calling attention to the plight of women caught up in human trafficking and the horrific life they lead.

Over and over we see a woman connect with a man. At first, it seems very consensual. Then the layers are peeled back and we find out how she really came to be in the situation with the man. Quite horrific.

Economists studying happiness data from more than 130 countries found that well-being typically bottoms out around age 47 or 48, then rises again through later adulthood — meaning the average happiness curve often improves well beyond midlife rather than continuing to decline with age.
