To the Editor: With the justifiable anguish over Russian influence on the 2016 election through social media, it is easy to forget the critical shortcomings in our own democracy: the staggering level of gullibility, ignorance and spitefulness without which the Russian (not to mention the domestic) trolls would be only a trivial footnote to the 2016 election.

A fast pitch produced a match that was exciting throughout. England won the toss and batted, but Heine, on his Test debut, made the ball lift awkwardly and took five wickets for 60 runs. Goddard supported well with 4/59. McGlew and Goddard both went for ducks, but after tea on the first day the pitch lost its spitefulness.

He particularly dislikes Dax. This is mainly because of Dax's unique power to shapeshift and having instincts that block him from seeing any of Spook's highly praised illusions. In Stirring the Storm, we discover that the two boys are in fact distant cousins. At least some of Spook's spitefulness can be put down to his father's cold, militaristic attitude towards him, and jealousy towards his two half-siblings.

Nonetheless, modern historians agree that he also had many faults as king, including what historian Ralph Turner describes as "distasteful, even dangerous personality traits", such as pettiness, spitefulness, and cruelty.Turner, p. 23.

Cambridge, UK: Cambridge Univ Press. This form of spitefulness is relatively free from the threat of revenge – provided that the parents and relatives of the target are either weak or far away. Infanticide may not be a form of spite as in many cases the loss of offspring to the female brings it back into estrous providing a mating advantage to an infanticidal male. This is seen in lions.

Tambiko are funeral rites where the family clean the grave and offer food and drink to each other and the deceased.

Most historians today, including John's recent biographers Ralph Turner and Lewis Warren, argue that John was an unsuccessful monarch, but note that his failings were exaggerated by 12th- and 13th-century chroniclers. Jim Bradbury notes the current consensus that John was a "hard-working administrator, an able man, an able general", albeit, as Turner suggests, with "distasteful, even dangerous personality traits", including pettiness, spitefulness and cruelty.Bradbury (2007), p. 353; Turner, p. 23.

Existing models of social preferences can be divided into two types: distributive preferences and reciprocal preferences. Distributive preferences are the preferences over the distribution and total magnitude of the payoff among the reference groups, including altruism and spitefulness, fairness and inequity aversion, and efficiency concern; while reciprocal preferences reflect agent's concern over the intention of other's behavior and agent's motivation to reciprocate positively or negatively depending on the kindness and fairness of other's behavior.

Though altruism and spitefulness appear to be two sides of the same coin, the latter is less accepted among evolutionary biologists. First, unlike the case with the beneficiary of an altruistic act, targets of aggression are likely to act in revenge: bites will provoke bites. Thus harming non-kin may be more costly than helping kins. Second, presuming a panmictic population, the vast majority of pairs of individuals exhibit a roughly average level of relatedness.

The word Schadenfreude can be translated as glee or spitefulness, but most often it doesn't serve a malicious purpose. A more fitting translation is "the fun of seeing others struggling". Often the protagonist of such jokes is thrown into a dilemma, where he or she has to ignore the German sense of suavity in order to get out of a specific situation. In one sketch the well-known comedian Loriot, the protagonist tries to get rid of a banana skin.

But his spitefulness eventually heals and becomes generosity. He becomes able to commit to a relationship with Solvieg, who chooses him out of her personal integrity, whereas his mother "clung to him out of her deprivation". "The ultimate meaning of this myth, even more true today than it was in Ibsen's day, is that all such narcissistic egocentricity leads to self-destruction." (p 190) "The renunciation of the narcissistic self is the beginning of authentic selfhood" (p 192) and the capacity to love.

The Beat Generation, especially those associated with the San Francisco Renaissance, gradually gave way to the 1960s era counterculture, accompanied by a shift in terminology from "beatnik" to "freak" and "hippie". Many of the original Beats remained active participants, notably Allen Ginsberg, who became a fixture of the anti-war movement. On the other hand, Jack Kerouac broke with Ginsberg and criticized the 1960s protest movements as an "excuse for spitefulness". Bob Dylan became close friends with Allen Ginsberg, and Ginsberg became close friends with Timothy Leary.

Additionally, unlike other corresponding creatures, he was of a gentle disposition, more likely to instil fear rather than attacking islanders although some tales suggest otherwise; according to the author and folklorist Jessie Saxby "he was a more feeble sort". He liked playing practical jokes and making mischief but was deceitful and not very brave. Spitefulness was not a part of his character and his pranks were tempered with a degree of mercy. Only magical beings called Finns were able to ride a nuggle without coming to any harm.

Dziwożona was said to kidnap human babies just after they were born and replace them with her own children, known as foundlings or changelings. A changeling could be recognized by its uncommon appearance – disproportionate body, often with some kind of disability – as well as its wickedness. It had a huge abdomen, unusually small or large head, a hump, thin arms and legs, a hairy body and long claws; it also prematurely cut its first teeth. Its behaviour was said to be marked by a great spitefulness towards people around it, a fear of its mother, noisiness, reluctance to sleep and exceptional gluttony.

The term "social preferences" refers to the concern (or lack thereof) that people have for each other's well-being, and it encompasses altruism, spitefulness, tastes for equality, and tastes for reciprocity. Experiments on social preferences generally study economic games including the dictator game, the ultimatum game, the trust game, the gift- exchange game, the public goods game, and modifications to these canonical settings. As one example of results, ultimatum game experiments have shown that people are generally willing to sacrifice monetary rewards when offered low allocations, thus behaving inconsistently with simple models of self- interest. Economic experiments have measured how this deviation varies across cultures.

She sets so many bad examples of spitefulness towards Cinderella for her younger sister to follow, that between them Anastasia's the better of the two. Highly unorganized, and, in the Kingdom Hearts series, murderous, she is contemptuously envious of Cinderella's success and beauty and often gets her into trouble. Unlike her younger sister Anastasia, who changes her spiteful ways and develops into a kind and good-natured woman, Drizella remains mean- spirited and cruel, and never overcomes her hatred of Cinderella. She is also depicted as having slovenly eating habits in the third movie, where she samples the food and the wedding cake being prepared for her sister's wedding by shoving handfuls of it into her face and eating them noisily.

The heavy snow forced Kit to spend the night at Hendrick's house.

It had a huge abdomen, unusually small or large head, a hump, thin arms and legs, a hairy body and long claws; it also prematurely cut its first teeth. Its behaviour was said to be marked by a great spitefulness towards people around it, a fear of its mother, noisiness, reluctance to sleep and exceptional gluttony. As an adult (which was in fact rare, as nearly all changelings were thought to die in early childhood) it was disabled, gibbered instead of talked, and mistrusted people. To protect a child against being kidnapped by Al Ana, a mother had to tie a red ribbon around its hand (this custom is still preserved in some regions of Anatolia, although without the original meaning), put a red hat on its head and shield its face from the light of the moon.

Nikolai Chikildiyev, once a Moscow restaurant waiter, now a very ill man, decides to leave the city and with his pious, meek wife Olga and daughter Sasha goes to Zhukovo, his native village. They are shocked by the horrible state of the place, but have to settle into this murky and dangerous world of poverty, filth, ignorance, spitefulness and drunk violence. Things go from bad to worse, as at one point the fire destroys a house in the village (with locals watching helplessly and a guesting student taking upon himself the role of a lone firefighter), at another the police inspector comes to collect the arrears from the villagers and confiscate a samovar from the Chikildiyev's house. Finally, Nikolai dies (or rather gets killed by medical incompetence), and mother and daughter, almost happy now to leave all those horrors behind, set off to Moscow, begging for money on their way.
