We know that Valentine’s Day is on February 14th, but did you know that there is another holiday before Valentine’s Day? It is called Galentine’s Day and it is celebrated on February 13th. Rather than romantic love, the theme of Galentine’s Day is friendship, namely the friendship between women.
Galentine’s Day first started in February 2010 from a NBC comedy show titled, “Parks and Recreation.” One of the characters on the show Leslie Knope, played by Amy Poehler, introduced viewers to Galentine’s Day as a day to spend with female friends where boyfriends and husbands were not invited. In this episode, Leslie Knope created special gifts for each friend showing her friends how much she appreciated them.

Local competition increases people's willingness to harm others
Abstract
Why should organisms incur a cost in order to inflict a (usually greater) cost on others? Such costly harming behavior may be favored when competition for resources occurs locally, because it increases individuals’ fitness relative to close competitors. However, there is no explicit experimental evidence supporting the prediction that people are more willing to harm others under local versus global competition. We illustrate this prediction with a game theoretic model, and then test it in a series of economic games. In these experiments, players could spend money to make others lose more. We manipulated the scale of competition by awarding cash prizes to the players with the highest payoffs per set of social partners (local competition) or in all the participants in a session (global competition). We found that, as predicted, people were more harmful to others when competition was local (Study 1). This result
