A happiness pump is an idea in philosophy.
A happiness pump is someone who will do anything to make other people happy even if it makes them very unhappy themselves.
They have turned themselves into a machine (a "pump") that makes happiness.
The happiness pump is a way of showing problems in utilitarianism.
Utilitarianism is a moral philosophy.
It is a way of deciding which actions are good and which are bad.
In utilitarianism, actions that make more happiness or stop pain are good.
Actions that stop happiness or make pain are bad.
In utilitarianism, it does not matter who is becoming happier or feeling less pain.
That means that, in utilitarianism, helping strangers is good.
The happiness pump is a person who has taken utilitarianism too far and will give themselves lots of pain so long as they believe it makes other people somewhere in the world much happier.
The happiness pump is only an idea.
Philosopher Joshua David Greene says it is almost impossible to be a happiness pump for real.
People who even tried would give up.
A happiness pump character is on one episode of the television show The Good Place.

Major John André (b. 1750 - d. 1780) was a British officer in the American War for Independence.
He helped Benedict Arnold change sides to the British army and tried to take the fort West Point for the British.
He was executed for being a spy.
His parents were Huguenots.
The Huguenots were Protestants who had lived in France.
When the French government said it was illegal to be Protestants, many Huguenots went to other countries.
André's mother went to England when she was young.
His mother had been born in France and his father had been born in Geneva.
André's father was a merchant—he earned money by buying and selling things.
André's parents had one other son and three daughters.
André went to school in Geneva and then came back to England in 1767.
He had a good education.
He could draw, paint, play the flute, write poems, and speak English, French, German, and Italian.
André wanted to join the army, but at that time, people did not become officers unless they could buy the position.
When André's father died in 1769, André had to make money to take care of his family.
He became a merchant in his father's business.
André fell in love with an English woman named Honora Sneyd.
But Sneyd's guardians would not let them marry unless André became rich.
André worked hard to be a good merchant.
But then Honora Sneyd changed her mind.
Then André joined the army.
According to Sneyd's foster sister, Anna Seward, André joined the army out of a broken heart.
André joined the army on March 4, 1771.
He did special training in Germany for two years.
In 1774, he went to Canada with the Royal English Fusileers.
He was a lieutenant at the time.
André helped defend St. John's from the American army.
The siege lasted two months, and the British lost.
André was captured at St. John's.
Because he was an officer and not an enlisted man, he was held prisoner in inns instead of barracks and ate dinner with rich people.
André was kept prisoner in the house of the Cope family in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
Many people in Lancaster County spoke German, and so could André, so he made friends.
André also taught art to the Copes' son.
In 1776, André was sent back to the British army.
He was traded for American prisoners.
He wrote a book about everything he had learned about the British Colonies and drew maps of places he had been.
He gave the book to British General William Howe in New York City.
Howe thought the book was very good and that André was very intelligent.
He promoted André to captain and made him aide to Major-General Charles Grey.
André was part of the invasion of Philadelphia in 1777.
At the time, Philadelphia was the largest city in the thirteen colonies.
The British captured it.
André fought in the Battle of Brandywine, the Paoli Massacre, the Battle of Germantown, the Battle of Monmouth, and Grey's raids into Massachusetts and New Jersey in 1778.
André kept a personal book during this time.
That book is now a valuable historical source about the war.
During the winter of 1777-1778, there was less fighting because it was too cold and snowy.
John André lived in Philadelphia in Benjamin Franklin's house.
He wrote poetry for women, for example Peggy Shippen.
He also threw a large party called the Mischianza to honor General Howe and his brother, Admiral Richard Howe.
When the British left Philadelphia, André packed up and stole many of Benjamin Franklin's inventions, books, and other things.
Historians think General Grey may have ordered him to do this.
In May of 1779, Benedict Arnold, a high-ranking American officer, told André he wanted to change sides if the British would give him £10,000 and high rank in the British military.
He was the commander of the fort West Point.
If the British had West Point, they could control the Hudson Valley and they would be much stronger in New England.
André and Arnold sent letters to each other for months.
In 1779, André went with General Clinton to attack Charleston, South Carolina, and they won.
André returned north with Clinton and began talking to Arnold again.
Arnold said he had to meet André in person to plan the surrender of West Point.
Capture and trial
In September 1779, André got on a ship and sailed up the Hudson.
He met Arnold, who gave him papers and the plans to West Point.
But André could not get back to his ship because American forces had attacked it, and it had sailed away.
André decided to go back to British territory in disguise.
He took off his British army uniform and put on ordinary clothes.
On the way, he was captured by American freelance soldiers.
They found the papers Arnold had given André.
They arrested André as a spy.
Because André had been in disguise and not wearing his uniform, he was legally a spy and not only an enemy soldier.
The punishment for being a spy was much worse.
André was put on trial in Tappan, New York.
Many of his friends wrote letters to George Washington to ask that he be allowed to live.
Others asked that he be allowed to die by firing squad, which was the usual way soldiers were killed.
On September 29, 1780, André was found guilty of being "under a feigned name and in a disguised habit."
He was sentenced to die by hanging.
André was hanged at noon on October 2, 1780.
At first, André was buried next to the Hudson River.
A peach tree grew on top of his grave.
In 1782, King George III had a monument built for André in Westminster Abbey.
In 1821, people dug up John André's bones and took them to England.
They took the peach tree too and replanted it in the king's garden.
There is another monument in Tappan, New York.
A fictional John André is in the television series Turn.

The 2021 Atlantic hurricane season was the third most active Atlantic hurricane season.
It officially began on June 1, 2021, and ended on November 30, 2021.
These dates, adopted by convention, historically describe the period in each year when most Atlantic tropical cyclones form.
However, tropical cyclogenesis is possible at any time of the year, as demonstrated by the early formation of Subtropical Storm Ana on May 22, making 2021 the seventh consecutive year that a storm formed before the official start of the season.
In June 3 named storms formed during the month making June 2021 the most active June since 1968 and also tied with 1886, 1909, and 1936.
Starting this season, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) began to issue regular Tropical Weather Outlooks on May 15, two weeks earlier than it did in the past.
This change was implemented in light of the fact that named systems had formed in the Atlantic Ocean prior to the official start of the season in each of the preceding six seasons.
Season Summary
Tropical Storm Ana was the first tropical cyclone of the year.
This storm threatened Bermuda, warranting a Tropical Storm Watch, but it did not affect that area.
It moved northeast and dissipated on May 24.
This storm formed before hurricane season officially begun, continuing the 7-year streak of pre-season systems.
Tropical Storm Bill threatened the East Coast of the United States as it formed into Tropical Depression Two, but it did not affect that reigon and continued northeast into the Atlantic Ocean, south of Canada, and dissipated on June 16.
Tropical Storm Claudette formed just off the coast of Louisiana and made landfall in eastern Terrebonne Parish, and weakened to a tropical depression travelled across Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, the Carolinas, and southern Virginia before moving into the Atlantic, reintensifying into a tropical storm on June 21 and turning post-tropical the next day.
The storm later dissipated the next day.
This storm killed 14 people in Alabama, 4 of which were direct.
Tropical Storm Danny formed off the coast of South Carolina and made landfall in that state.
This made Danny the first June storm to make landfall in South Carolina since Hurricane One in 1867.
Hurricane Elsa
Tropical Storm Elsa formed on the early morning hours of July 1, 2021, and intensified into a tropical storm later that day.
This made it the earliest fifth tropical cyclone to form in the Atlantic since reliable records begun in 1851.
This is also the second earliest storm to form this far east in the Main Development Region, only behind the 1933 Trinidad hurricane.
This storm rapidly moved towards the Lesser Antillies at 30 mph after it became a tropical storm.
Tropical Storm Fred
Hurricane Ida was a powerful Category 4 hurricane that affected Gulf Coast of the United States, Southeastern United States, and Northeastern United States in late August 2021 into early September 2021.
Ida was the ninth named storm, and fourth hurricane of the 2021 Atlantic hurricane season, Ida originated from a tropical wave first monitored by the National Hurricane Center (NHC) on August 23, moving into the Caribbean Sea and developing into a tropical storm on August 26.
On August 27, Ida became a Category 1 hurricane and initiated rapid intensification on the next day, becoming a Category 2 hurricane at 18:00 UTC on August 28.

Leg before wicket (LBW) is one way a batsman can get out in cricket.
There must be an appeal to the umpire at the bowler's end, and he makes the decision.
Before a batter can be dismissed lbw, the fielding team must appeal to the umpire.
If the bowler delivers a no-ball — an illegal delivery — the batter cannot be out lbw under any circumstances.
Otherwise, for the batter to be adjudged lbw, the ball, if it bounces, must hit the pitch in line with or on the off side of the wickets.
For a right-handed batsman, the off side is the right-hand side of the pitch when viewed from his perspective.
For a left-handed batsman, the off side is the left-hand side.
Then the ball must strike part of the batsman's body without first touching his/her bat, In the Laws of Cricket, the batsman's bat is considered to include the hand or hands holding it.

The batter may also be out lbw if, having made no attempt to hit the ball with their bat, they are struck outside the line of off stump by a ball that would have hit the wickets.
The umpire must assume that the ball would have continued on the same trajectory after striking the batter, even if it would have bounced before hitting the stumps.
Instant replay
Sometimes video replay and other technologies are used to decide if a batter is out LBW.
For example, heat-tracking ("Hot Spot") can visually show when the ball has hit the bat or part of the batter's body, audio-tracking ("Snickometer") can show if there is a slight sound from the impact of the ball, and advanced simulations ("Hawkeye") can predict where the ball would have gone after impact with the batter's body if the batter had not been there.
