Historical Traveler Reviews Confortel Auditori Barcelona
Great hotel with some customer service problems
We stayed at the Confortel for 3 nights in October and I would recommend it to anyone. We took the Aer Bus to Plaza Catalunya and walked with our wheelie bags and it was bit of a hike- but the metro is right there and if you like to walk- it's not bad getting anywhere in the city.
The rooms were very nice, modern and clean. Free mini bar was great.
We didn't get breakfast so I can't comment on that.
We booked through Utell that had a great rate of 95E per night + tax. Nothing else could match it at the time. Though i did here people calling directly to the hotel while i was at the desk and they seemed to be getting good rates.
Our only complaint was with the service- particularly Julian at the front desk- he was especially unhelpful. We were told to come back to check in at about 1:30 and the room we were given reeked of smoke. We complained and all he wanted to do was spray air freshener. After lying and saying there were no other rooms, another room magically appeared. He made us wait another 10 minutes for the room (though he got the call that it was ready right away). Anytime we asked him for directions, a pen, he acted rather put out. The other staff was more helpful.
The room we had faced the back- not a great view but it was very quiet which we were very happy with.
The free internet was great- however i almost wish that they charged or put a sign with a time limit. A child was on the internet playing games for over an hour while 3 people were waiting and when i asked how much longer he would be - he left and the mother started fighting with me. My buddy Julian saw the whole thing but said nothing.
All in all, I would definitely recommend this hotel. Keep in mind it's a walk to most places (and i always walk) or metro ride- but worth it for the cleanliness, decor and quiet.
Great hotel
My husband and I came from israel and spent 5 nights in Barcelona, all at this great hotel. I asked my travel agent specificaly for this hotel after reading previous reviews and they were all right and very helpful.
The room was a bit small but very clean and so was the bathroom. To bad the towel rack and toilet paper stand were lop sided, but otherwise - clean and quiet which was perfect. The free mini bar was a great help, especialy after a long day.
Breakfast was very good and very much appreciated. Whoever traveled to europe knows what breakfasts could look like.
The internet, free of charge, came in very handy.
The location was pretty good, only a few minuites from the metro and from the Segrada Familia. Only 15 minuites from the Catalunya Square - not bad at all. Nice bars on the way there, a bakery and supermarket.
For us - a great choise. It lived up to our expectations.
Fantastic hotel
Gill and John, Portsmouth, England. Our short stay in the Confortel Auditori Barcelona was one of the best breaks we have ever had. From the moment we stepped into the hotel the receptionist Suzanna could not have been more helpful or more cheerful, as were the rest of the staff. The hotel is so clean and modern. The free mini-bar was re-stocked daily with juice, cola and water which was much appreciated. Towels and bedding were always changed. The bed itself was so confortable so that after a day of sight seeing, getting into bed was a joy . It really is only a short stroll to the bus station and the metro but that said. walking to town was great, with so much to admire on the way. We cannot wait to go back and would highly recommend this wonderful hotel to anyone.
Wonderful affordable hotel
stayed in the confortel auditori in barcelona for a week at the beginig of august. it was beautifully decorated the room we had was spacious with a plasma screen satelite tv, safe in the room and free minibar. the hotel had free internet access in the lobby a gym and restraunt, there was a sunbathing area on the roof and a pool. close to the metro station and 15min walk to barcelona zoo and museums. only thing was eating in the hotel was very expensive but barceona is full of cheap places to eat so not that big a deal.
would definately stay again was great value for money!
Spot on
Great hotel, great location, great facilities. This place has a lot going for it. It's a superior 3 star awaiting 4 star classification, so get it while it's hot! We based ourselves here for a week on our first ever visit to Barcelona, and this hotel was nothing short of perfect. Stylish and comfortable - we thought there was a mistake with the price, but seemingly it's always very, very reasonably priced. It's located in a very good area, between the Sagrada Familia and the Place De Catalunya and it's a 2 minute walk from 2 Metro stations (on different lines) and the overland train too. It's also right next door to a major bus and coach station, yet is very quiet and private. A short hop to the beach and surrounded by bars, restaurants, supermarkets and even a bakery next door which is ideal for grabbing a pastry whilst you ponder what to do with your day upon emerging from the hotel. I'd recommend it for business or pleasure - a real gem.
Top notch and highly recommended by us!
Fantastic Hotel - Great Location & Great Stay
Fantastic Hotel - free mini-bar on arrival was a welcome addition, and was continually stocked up with water and fruit juices throughout the week. Another fridge in the shared lobby area on the first floor provided chilled bottles of water to guest for free.
Free wi-fi was also available, as well as two English channels on the flat screen LCD, including BBC World. The hotel is immaculately designed and planned, with a brilliant contemporary feel, although the shower does tend to spray the entire bathroom! The maid service was fantastic, we got a free shaving kit, comb, toothbrush and the usual toiletries EVERY day! They also kept the room immaculate.
We couldn't have survived without the pool to dip in, and the ability to control the air conditioning individually in each room was brilliant - last time we stayed in Barcelona we had no air conditioning and it made a massive difference.
It's literally two minutes walk from Barcelona Nord Bus Station, and the Arc de Triomf metro, which is two stops away from Catalunya on L1 at the top of La Rambla. It's handy to get to, and makes it easy to navigate the city, the area feels safe and there's also a patisserie opposite if breakfast isn't included in your tariff, and supermarket nearby if you wish to stock the mini bar up yourself!
Would definitely stay again!
A real find....
If you like quaint, twee hotels then this particular hotel in the Chain will not be for you. If you prefer your hotels to be clean, new and full of modern design character then the Auditori cerainly will be .
When we booked the Auditori, the only idea was a bland bleak looking picture on Confortels website. The interior of the hotel couldn't be any different, with Bright colourful modern design from the reception and adjoining dining area to the moderate well designed bedrooms.
The Hotel is located a 15 minute stroll from Plaza Catalunya in one direction and a 10 mon strol for Sagrada Famillar in the other, right next to Barcelonas L'auditori.
I found the staff Attentive and friendly, only happy to help recharge my phone and provide me with a free map. The breakfast was a typical catalan one, with a wide range of fuits , cerals, meat, breads, cakes and cheeses. Thankfully no full english in sight.
The room had a small complemntary mini bar with a couple of beers, cokes and fruit juices.
Along with a nice LCD type flat screen TV.
We stayed for 3 nights in mid june... and enjoyed every aspect of the hotel. Although we didn't have time to check out the pool...
I'd go back in a shot.
+ two computers next to reception which provide free internet access
+ free minibar
+ nice reception staff
- no football channel that I did not have the chance to watch Worldcup in my hotel room:-(
- breakfast buffet was average(10€+7%), as usual, bread, fruits, juice, joghurt, cold cuts, cheese, coffee, etc. It did not hit my taste as I personally like to have at least something hot for breakfast. I am not demanding that I want to have an extensive selections of hot food, I mean, at least if there was scrambled eggs would already be fine
1. if you travel to/from Girona Airport and take the barcelona bus(which is scheduled according to Ryanair flight plan) to city center, this hotel is just 5 minutes walk from the bus terminal. It is convenient when you need to take the early morning bus to Girona Airport, like 7am bus in my case
2. although the hotel is not situated right in the most favourite spots, but just 8 mins walk to metro and is just a few stations away from those spots. The location is in fact acceptable for me as I enjoy to do some walking, e.g. to Ramblas takes about 20-25 minutes
3. staff is nice but was not attentative enough. I asked to get the hook fixed in my bathroom but it was never repaired
4. the hotel has outdoor swimming pool and fitness centre, remember to bring the swim/sport suits if you want to visit them
5. some rooms are facing the streets, if you want a quiet room, do ask for a room which is not facing it, with a price of no viewfrom the window, i.e. just windows facing windows. But it was really quiet
Hideaway in barcelona
During late May my wife and I and our friends from Corby England travelled by Easy Jet to Barcelona, hopped into a taxi and within 25 minutes we we at our hotel called Confortel Auditori.
The hotel is brand new this year and mostly we really enjoyed our four night stay.
The hotel I think is more directed towards the business traveller but they, the staff, were very helpful towards us and helped make our stay very welcome.
We were bed and breakfast which was continental but really good, we all enjoyed the cold breakfast especially the frest fruit cocktail.
The rooms were bright and very modern with a free mini bar of soft drinks and a couple of beers. The TV was flat screen, the bed was excellent, the bathroom very modern and were supplied ie towels and soap etc.
They have six rooms that are wheelchair friendly and our English pals were in one and the bathroom was laid out for disabled use, wet shower room etc.
On the roof , 7th floor, is a small splash pool and some sunloungers.
Only two small items snagged us, first, we could'nt find a bar although we were told if we wanted a drink we could get it at the resturant, we just crossed the road to Bar Territori, small, inexpensive, nice people.
Secondly was the fact that the hotel could not exchange us any money with travellers cheques and we found it only available at money exchanges in the Las Ramblas district.
Otherwise a very enjoyable stay in a modern hotel very close to the Arc de Triump and the Metro is only 100 yards from Hotel.

First I needed have some breakfast and relax for a bit before I hit the streets. Surprisingly enough the food in the hotel is pretty good (and really cheap due to my employee discount). After breakfast I went straight to the rooftop. It was about 10:30am ( which is 4:30am US time) and people were already there sun bathing. ...

I'm very interested to see what the rest of the wave looks like.
It seems like someone at Hasbro has a definite liking for Sandtroopers, X-Wing Luke and Bossk. Which is great, because I have a definite liking for those characters as well.
I've gotta have Boba Fett. Gotta.
It's Hasbro. You're practically guaranteed Bossk, Greedo, Aurra Sing, and Momaw Nadon in the early waves.
I've read some complaints on how we used to only pay $20 for 12" figures and now we gotta pay $20 for figures half the size. But I think people are forgetting that most of the early 12" figures were just soft-goods clothing on generic doll bodies with roto-molded heads. Much less of a tooling investment on Hasbro's part than this new 6" line, which will require 100% new tooling on every figure for at least the first few waves.
Yoda is my favourite SW character, and size matters not when it comes to a potential purchase. I recently bought the Jedi Attack Fighter set for £19, predominantly for a tiny figure, which was all-new (and not badly painted compared to all the other examples I've seen). Sure, there was a ship included, but I don't really collect vehicles, and wouldn't have bought this if it wasn't for the figure. Having said that, I've wanted Yoda to have his own ship since 1980 (used to make them from Lego), and I'm pleasantly surprised how much I love this set!
From Rebelscum: Interesting info on the line.
Black Series 6-Inch
The Black series 6-inch figures will start with four characters, Luke X-Wing, R2-D2, Sandtrooper and Darth Maul. The six-figure case ratios will be managed to ensure more popular characters are packed in greater quantities. At this time, the plan is to go with 75 percent Original Trilogy to 25 percent Prequel Trilogy character ratio. The focus of the line is fan favorites and best of characters. At this time secondary and tertiary characters are not in the plans, and neither are Clone Wars or Expanded Universe characters, but as the line progresses the possibility to introduce these character exists. The opportunity to introduce beasts (Wampa, Dewback, Tauntaun) and small vehicles (Speederbike) also exists depending on how the line is received by collectors.
Six inch figures will use both soft goods and plastic with the final choice being given to the designer creating the figure. This means some figures will come with soft goods, while others—such as the Darth Maul—will come with plastic robes. Hasbro hinted that a San Diego Comic-Con exclusive will be a Boba Fett with Han Solo in Carbonite two pack, but didn't confirm it. We also asked Hasbro who on the team loves Sandtroopers, since we've seen a lot of them in both the 3-3/4 and now 6-inch scales, and they told us everyone!

His name is Paul Van Horn Formerly Known As P-Smooth. He is 24 years old, He attended Central Washington University as a vocal performance major for three years, performing in choirs such as; Vocal Jazz, Mens Choir, Chorus Choir, Solo Performance and more. After 5 albums of writing about his hardships and downfalls, he reconnected with the lord in hope to be a leader and inspire the youth with the gospel through his music. As a young boy his father was a Youth Minister, but with an over bearing uptight church he was unable to reach the youth as he hoped. When given the option to go or not Paul rebelled and chose not to go, not because he didn't believe, he just became distracted by lust, drugs, popularity and violence.
Once he was an established artist in NW he began to get some real attention with his shows, tours with Spokane and Seattle artists, and opening up for the likes of Andre Nickatina, Mistah Fab and others from the West Coast. His Distraction became a way of life, straying away from family and friends.
He then woke up one morning from a vivid dream, something rocked him that night.. he woke up in a place he DID not want to be, filled with anger and resentment he managed to get to church again one Sunday. He broke down and apologized for being away for so long, and doing/acting/thinking such wrong.
He has dedicated his music from that day on to only write gospel based music, he almost instantly lost all respect and credibility catching a ton of criticism. But now he gives all glory and honor to god with his music, thanking him for the talent he was blessed with to reach out to the youth and young adults, so maybe at least a few wont have to go through what he did, and live a better life.
John 3:16: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting.

I remember the original movie, I suspect that Robert Redford would like to forget he had anything to do with it, it was THAT bad.Hide replies
That wasn't the 'original' movie; there was at least one before that. (The Redford movie was the first time I remember seeing Sam Waterston in anything; he was really good, the rest not so much.)
You're right, Robert. Alan Ladd was Gatsby in 1949, and an unrecognizable Shelly Winters as Myrtle Wilson - [spoiler alert] when she gets hit by the car, well, it's pretty obviously faked. It is a pretty watchable movie though. It was kinda shocking for it's day, since it actually showed Ladd shot at the end with a bullet hole and blood, pretty graphic for 1949.
It was actually the second Gatsby, the first being some 1926 silent version that is 'lost' - now that one would have real period costumes.
Yeah, Sam Waterston was pretty young with Redford and Mia in the 70's one. I think he followed it up with O J Simpson, Elliot Gould and Telly Sevalas in the fake Mars landing movie Capricorn One - now THAT was bad!
BTW - Ladd is in a great radio series called Box 13 - goto Internet Archive sometime and check out an episode, it was pretty good.
Oh yeah, in the 1949 version you also see Elisha Cook Jr - he was Capt. Kirk's lawyer in the original series Court Martial (he loved real law books). It had that corny high-tech 'white noise' device, i.e. a regular microphone spray-painted white, so they could detect the heartbeat of the guy hiding in the Enterprise that Kirk supposedly had allowed to die.

Theoretical models of ADHD have hypothesised that these symptoms arise through disruptions to neural systems that mediate executive functioning, motivation (responses to reward or threat), and arousal. These systems are interconnected and overlap with the neural substrates involved in detecting and responding to emotionally salient stimuli. From this context an interest has emerged in understanding how the experience or recognition of emotion may be disrupted in ADHD. The aim of this thesis was to build upon previous work in developing this understanding. For this purpose, a sample of 43 children (8 girls) with ADHD and a sample of typically developing (TD) children matched on age and gender were recruited to participate in three studies. The first study examined if the ADHD group would recognise fewer emotional facial expressions than the TD group. Importantly, by including similarly difficult task conditions that did not require emotion processing, this study examined if difficulty recognising emotional facial expressions resulted from impairments recognising emotion or other cognitive deficits. Results indicated that the ADHD group was similar to the TD group at recognising the nonemotion stimuli but significantly worse at recognising emotional facial expressions. This clarifies that ADHD is associated with deficits in processing emotional facial expressions beyond the other difficulties associated with the disorder. The second study examined if the ADHD group differed from the TD group on measures of autonomic activity in response to films selected to elicit particular emotions of fear, happiness, and sadness. Results indicated that the ADHD group differed from the TD group on a measure of sympathetic response for the films evoking fear and happiness but not sadness. These differences were moderated by the severity of Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) symptoms within both the TD group and ADHD group. The results suggest that ADHD is associated with abnormal emotional responses for fear and happiness but this does not necessarily extend to all types of emotional responses, or at least not sadness. The third study compared how the ADHD and TD groups responded to social inclusion and exclusion using a computer simulated ball-throwing game. Social functioning depends largely on emotion and is impaired in ADHD. Results indicated that compared to the TD group, children within the ADHD group had a smaller increase in parasympathetic activity during the inclusion condition and less withdrawal in parasympathetic activity during the exclusion condition. The ADHD group also had a greater change in sharing behaviour following the exclusion condition. These results, taken together with the results from the previous studies, indicate that ADHD is associated with abnormalities in both emotion recognition and emotion response for a range of stimuli, within both social and non-social contexts. This is discussed in the context of possible underlying neurobiological systems that mediate motivation, executive functioning and arousal. 2016-07-14T23:02:35Z Exclusion, intergroup discrimination, and belonging. Banks, Michael http://hdl.handle.net/10523/6696 2016-07-13T21:16:08Z 2016-07-13T21:16:00Z Exclusion, intergroup discrimination, and belonging. 2016 Banks, Michael Previous research investigating the effects of social exclusion has predominantly focused on interpersonal behavior following ostracism. Divergent findings reveal either increased aggression or increased pro-social behavior. The current research comprises seven experiments focused on intergroup (as opposed to interpersonal) forms of discrimination. The first two studies establish a link between belonging and evaluative intergroup bias discrimination. The findings show that enhanced belonging (and not personal or collective self-esteem) is an outcome of intergroup discrimination among minimal and real groups. The third study introduced the cyberball manipulation to assess the effects of inclusion/ostracism. Participants who were included showed intergroup discrimination; ostracized participants did not. The fourth study sought to examine intergroup discrimination following a more blatant form of social rejection using the false feedback paradigm. Again, the included participants discriminated, even when allocating a more noxious white noise stimulus. Rejected participants did not exhibit intergroup discrimination. Following the research demonstrating the positive-negative asymmetry effect (PNAE), the fifth study afforded category members the opportunity of exhibiting positive and negative valenced intergroup discrimination. The included participants discriminated regardless of task valence. The ostracized participants discriminated on the positive, but not negative task. The sixth study tested whether intergroup discrimination would elevate if done publicly (as opposed to private). Included participants again discriminated, regardless of whether the task was public or private. The ostracized participants however, showed discriminated only when the task was public, potentially to increase the possibility of higher group inclusion. The seventh study investigated whether random inclusion and random rejection would affect intergroup discrimination levels compared to group determined inclusion/rejection. The results found that only those who were included by group members showed significant levels of intergroup discrimination. Taken together, the findings of this thesis provide support for the idea that belongingness is linked to intergroup discrimination. Firstly, heightened belonging is an outcome of intergroup discrimination. Secondly higher belonging leads to increased intergroup discrimination. The link between belonging and intergroup discrimination appeared over a variety of social groupings (i.e., gender, national, and minimal groups), across different forms of discrimination (e.g., evaluations, white noise allocations), and the findings were also consistent across both the cyberball and false feedback paradigms. The ramifications of these findings are discussed and new ideas for future research are suggested. 2016-07-13T21:16:00Z Belonging and in-group favouritism: Belonging as a predictor and an outcome of in-group favouritism using negative outcomes. Moodie, Hannah http://hdl.handle.net/10523/6670 2016-07-05T00:44:08Z 2016-07-05T00:44:04Z Belonging and in-group favouritism: Belonging as a predictor and an outcome of in-group favouritism using negative outcomes. 2016 Moodie, Hannah Belonging is considered to be a crucial human social motive. Most of the work concerned with the motivational ramifications of intergroup behaviour has focused on the role of self-esteem. The research presented in the following represents an attempt to redress this issue. Two studies were conducted in order to investigate the link between belonging and distinct forms of in-group favouritism involving negative outcomes (in-group favouring evaluations and allocations). Study one found that New Zealanders who evaluated in-group members more positively than out-group members (i.e., Asians) experienced an increase in belonging. Study two replicated these findings with respect to the allocation of white noise to in-group and out-group members and further demonstrated that New Zealanders with both high and low levels of belonging showed greater in-group favouritism than did baseline participants. Together the results indicate that distinct forms of in-group favouritism (i.e., evaluations and the allocation of noxious stimuli) are directly associated with higher belonging. In each study, the relationship between in-group favouritism and belonging was independent of social identity, personal and group self-esteem. Moreover the nature of the relationship between intergroup evaluations/allocations and belonging is such that it was (a) positive evaluations of the in-group (not negative evaluations of the out-group) and (b) the allocation of less white noise to the in-group (and not the allocation of more white noise to the out-group) that was associated with enhanced belonging. The present investigation can be considered a first tentative step towards understanding the role of belonging with respect to in-group favouritism. 2016-07-05T00:44:04Z Name-Face Congruency in Biracials: Perception of Eurasians in New Zealand van den Berg, Arnika Maria http://hdl.handle.net/10523/6664 2016-07-04T14:02:10Z 2016-07-03T20:46:31Z Name-Face Congruency in Biracials: Perception of Eurasians in New Zealand 2016 van den Berg, Arnika Maria Perceptions of mixed race Chinese-Europeans were investigated by independently varying their facial and name ethnicity. In Study 1a, Chinese faces were judged as more competent when paired with a European surname, and European faces more judged as more likeable when paired with a Chinese surname. However, when in Study 1b incongruency was manipulated via the ethnicities of targets' first names, participants rated all targets more positively when paired with European names; there was no effect for competence. Study 2 examined perceptions of ambiguous (morphed) Chinese-Caucasian blends paired with ethnically congruent or incongruent first or last names. Although there were no effects of congruency on liking or competence ratings, faces with Chinese names, whether first or last, were judged as more Chinese in appearance than faces paired with Caucasian names. Furthermore, 50% morphs were judged as more Chinese than Caucasian in appearance, consistent with the phenomenon of hypodescent. Overall, the findings show the importance of naming stereotypes and name-face consistency for judgement and perception; reasons and implications are discussed. 2016-07-03T20:46:31Z Exploring a social "bouba-kiki" effect and the affective consequences of having a congruent versus incongruent name Barton, David http://hdl.handle.net/10523/6647 2016-06-27T14:02:08Z 2016-06-27T04:38:13Z Exploring a social "bouba-kiki" effect and the affective consequences of having a congruent versus incongruent name 2016 Barton, David This thesis was inspired from studies on the "bouba-kiki" effect, which shows that a sound-symbolic relationship exists between names and the physical objects they represent. Research on the bouba-kiki effect has found that people are more likely to associate names to objects which have a more congruent sound-symbolic relationship. This thesis has three main research questions; (1) is there a bouba-kiki effect between people's names and their faces? (2) Are there any affective consequences for having a congruent versus incongruent name? (3) Are there real-world consequences of the social bouba-kiki effect? To answer the first research question, two studies (Study 1a and 1b: Chapter 3) were conducted to explore a social bouba-kiki effect. Initially a sample of caricatures were used as stimuli which was followed by a sample of real faces. In both cases participants were asked to name faces from a selection of sound symbolic (i.e. congruent) and non-sound symbolic (incongruent) names. The results clearly showed that congruent names were preferred to incongruent names: participants believed that "round" names (names which contained mostly round vowels /o/ and /u/, as in the names "Bob" and "Ron") were more suitable for people with round faces, and "spiky" names (names which contained mostly unrounded vowels /i/ and /e/, like in the names "Rick" or "Mike") for people with angular faces. To answer the second research question several studies were conducted to examine the affective consequences between a congruent and incongruent name-face relationship. Studies 2a and 2b (Chapter 4) demonstrated that congruently named people were rated more positively on liking and other social dimensions compared to incongruently named people. Studies 3 and 4 (Chapter 5) showed that participants increased their liking for people after learning that they had congruent versus incongruent names, while Studies 5-7 (Chapter 6) showed the reverse, that people were more likely to be assigned congruent names when they were likeable versus unlikeable. Finally, the third part of the thesis, (study 8: Chapter 7) explored whether the findings could be applied to real world settings. A sample of politicians was used to examine the impact each candidate's level of name-face congruency had on their vote-share. Results showed that politicians with congruent names won their elections by significantly larger margins than those with incongruent names, although the effect was limited to extreme cases of (in)congruency. Taken together, the studies from this thesis support the hypothesis of a social bouba- kiki effect: how people name faces is not necessarily arbitrary. Furthermore, there are ramifications to having a congruent versus an incongruent name: name-face congruency has an affective component of increasing positivity. What is more, the effect can be detected in the environment, albeit in more extreme samples, where people who have good name-face congruency experience better outcomes than those with poor name-face congruency. 2016-06-27T04:38:13Z Behavior in Bad Taste: The Association between Perceived Control and Intergroup Discrimination Hu, Qin http://hdl.handle.net/10523/6624 2016-06-24T02:34:08Z 2016-06-24T02:32:51Z Behavior in Bad Taste: The Association between Perceived Control and Intergroup Discrimination 2016 Hu, Qin Research concerned with understanding the motivational basis of intergroup discrimination has centred on the role of self-esteem. Decades of empirical research has, however, failed to find a consistent link between these two variables. As a result, a number of theorists have begun to postulate the potential contribution of other motivational factors. The present thesis sought to examine the association between perceived control and intergroup discrimination. The results of two studies are reported. Study 1 revealed that New Zealanders who evaluated in-group members (i.e., New Zealanders) more positively than out-group members (i.e., Americans) reported an elevated sense of perceived control. Study 2 showed that New Zealanders with lower levels of perceived control (manipulated via ostracism feedback in a cyberball game), allocated more hot sauce to out-group (i.e., American) than in-group members (i.e., New Zealander). Furthermore, the differential allocation of hot sauce to in-group and out-group members amongst these participants functioned to restore their perceived control to pre-existing levels. In both studies, the relationship between control and each form of intergroup discrimination was not explained through other variables (i.e., self-esteem, social identification, belongingness and meaningful existence). Overall, such findings indicate that perceived control is likely to be a relevant factor in explaining intergroup discrimination. The ramifications of these results are discussed in relation to the motivational basis of intergroup discrimination. The limitations and implications of studies are also outlined. 2016-06-24T02:32:51Z Is Biofeedback Training of Ownership Perceptions Possible? EEG Classification of Volitional Hand-Ownership using Common Spatial Patterns Mayne, Terence http://hdl.handle.net/10523/6542 2016-06-10T04:12:08Z 2016-06-10T04:11:48Z Is Biofeedback Training of Ownership Perceptions Possible? EEG Classification of Volitional Hand-Ownership using Common Spatial Patterns 2016 Mayne, Terence 'Ownership' is the natural feeling that our body parts belong to us when we attend to them. And yet, this innate sensation of ownership is susceptible to disorder which has led to interventions involving ownership of mirrored and imagined limbs. In contrast, states of 'detachment' from limbs are also desirable in cases where amputees seek to rid themselves of an illusory, although painful presence of a 'phantom' limb. In this thesis, because ownership is influenced by one's control of internal attention, the possibility of optimising current ownership interventions through biofeedback is proposed and assessed through an 'ownership–detachment' calibration paradigm and classification analysis of the electroencephalography (EEG). Specifically, 36 participants underwent a task involving internal control of ownership and detachment perceptions of virtual hands. Trials began with an 'internal guidance' phase with the same virtual-hand stimuli across the ownership–detachment conditions and differed only by pre-trial instruction. Trials then transitioned towards an 'external guidance' phase where visuals were specific to ownership or detachment condition and served as a reinforcing materialisation of the pre-trial instructions. Analyses began with the creation of predictive algorithmic 'classifiers' using Common Spatial Patterns (CSP) and Linear Discriminant Analysis to categorise unlabelled EEG into its 'ownership' or 'detachment' label. Classifiers were created for electrode clusters of frontal (representing internally-controlled neural processes), centro-parietal (representing hand sensorimotor and proprioception neural processes) and occipital (as a control) regions. To estimate online classification performance, cross-validation analysis of the accuracy at which classifiers could distinguish between ownership–detachment condition produced the definitive metric of the paradigm. The results show strong support for the hypothesis that ownership intentions are discriminable in the EEG with the highest internal-guidance mean accuracy of 63.90%, range 32.35% – 96.15%; significantly higher than expected chance classification (p < .00001). As a corollary, the hypothesis that the intention to alter perceived ownership produces distinct EEG signals is supported. The frontal cluster produced the highest accuracy and reliability with the CSP scalp plots characteristic of horizontal saccadic patterning even under internal guidance where visuals were neutral between ownership–detachment conditions. A classification regime using electrodes most susceptible to saccadic activity further improved performance. Subsequent analysis through Independent Component Analysis showed consistent differences in horizontal saccadic activity across the top-two performing participants – the intent to own the virtual hand increased saccadic activity when compared with the intent to detach. It is suggested the increase in saccadic activity stems from a volitional increase in visual attention due to the ownership intention having an explicit relationship to the visual stimulus of a virtual hand. This implies saccadic activity is possibly the most robust physiological metric of intention of ownership of body parts and tools. This implication taken in conjunction with the perceptual-scales findings of a correlated increase in ownership perception with internal engagement suggest saccadic training may have a role in enhancing perceived ownership of visual objects such as virtual hands. 2016-06-10T04:11:48Z Deception: How do we feel about it, and how do we detect it? Roberts, Hester Philippa Howden http://hdl.handle.net/10523/6492 2016-05-29T21:06:08Z 2016-05-29T21:05:30Z Deception: How do we feel about it, and how do we detect it? 2016 Roberts, Hester Philippa Howden The subjective experience of lying has been broadly theorized in deception research, with preference to the idea that humans feel either fear, guilt, or excitement (Ekman, 1985). Moreover, some authors suggest that constructing a lie is cognitively demanding, which may create feelings of discomfort (Vrij et al., 2008). Both theories propose that increased discomfort leads to increased observable deceitful cues, yet there is little in the way of empirical evidence to support these claims. Experiment 1 is the first study to experimentally validate how humans feel when they lie. Participants were interviewed on four controversial opinions they felt strongly about, voicing stances that are consistent with, or opposite to their true opinions. These interviews were video-recorded for Experiment 2. After each interview, participants recorded the extent to which they felt happy, angry, sad, disgusted, fearful, ashamed, and stressed. Results indicated that participants felt greater negative emotions and lower levels of happiness when lying, compared to telling the truth. The results are consistent with Ekman's and Vrij's theories, and the negatively-oriented moral stance towards deceiving others. Experiment 2 took inspiration from the considerable inability to accurately detect lies from truths. On average, the ability to detect lies sits at 54% (DePaulo et al., 2006). Here, the main question asks why humans are barely achieving an accuracy rate better than chance. For Experiment 2, a subset of videos from Experiment 1 and a Deception Detection Questionnaire were administered to understand how participants made lie-truth judgments. Results indicated that average accuracy rates reached 54.79%, with lie-truth judgments primarily based on whether the participant agreed with a statement regardless of whether it was a truth or a lie – referred to as a personal-belief bias – and speakers' perceived demeanour. That is, while participants believed that observed deceitful cues determined their judgments, ultimately cognitive biases and demeanour influenced their decisions. 2016-05-29T21:05:30Z

Horse Paintings
Active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, American artist Gean Smith is best known for his paintings of trotting horses. Compositions featuring equines and equestrians were of particular interest in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries.
Joe Patchen at Belmont Stakes
Smith's paintings of the race horses included a depiction of one of the most famous horses of the day. In 1900, Smith painted a horse called Joe Patchen, a famous American trotting horse, to document the horse's victory and new track record set at New York's Belmont Park racetrack. This horse was as well known to early 20th century society as the Kentucky Derby and Secretariat are known to us today.
Smith painted an important horse race and placed Joe Patchen's new track record of 2:01 1/4 set on the Belmont racecourse directly onto the canvas. Smith captured a moment in sports history through this painting. In both American genre painting and the sport of horseracing, Joe Patchen and artist Gean Smith are well highly regarded.

Chorus pro Musica Celebrates "Spring, Love and the Tavern" This Sunday, June 6
Presenting a Boston performance of Carl Orff's Carmina Burana and Domenic Argento's I Hate and I Love at Boston'sJordan Hall
Concert tickets for the June 6 performance are $27, $42 and $57 (which includes a $2 restoration fee for Jordan Hall), with 10% discounts available on selected seats for groups, students, seniors and WGBH members. Reserved seats may be selected and tickets purchased now at www.choruspromusica.org, or by phone (24 hours a day, 7 days a week) at 800-658-4CPM (800-658-4276)
Carmina Burana, one of the most popular of all twentieth-century musical works, was composed between 1935–1936 to medieval texts that were found in 1803 in the Benedictine monastery of Benediktbeuern, Bavaria. Those poems and songs, in Latin, German and French, celebrate spring, love, and the tavern in an exuberant and satirical style. Shortly after the premiere by the Frankfurt Opera in 1937, Carl Orff wrote to his publisher, "Everything I have written to date, and which you have, unfortunately, printed, can be destroyed. With Carmina Burana, my collected works begin."
I Hate and I Love, composed for the Dale Warland Singers in 1982, is a setting for chorus and percussion of six Latin poems by Gaius Catullus that express the depth of Catullus's passion for Clodia and the agony of his constant vacillation between the extremes of love and hate towards her. The poems form a cycle, suggesting that the love/hate cycle continues endlessly, like the endless turning of the wheel of Fortune in Carmina Burana. Domick Argento is considered to be America's leading composer of lyric opera. He won the Pulitzer Prize in 1975 for his song cycle From the Diary of Virginia Woolf, which was premiered by Dame Janet Baker. Born in Pennsylvania in 1927, he earned degrees from the Peabody Conservatory and the Eastman School of Music before joining the University of Minnesota in 1958. He continues an active composition career in Minneapolis.
Soprano Mary Wilson is an exciting young artist with a national career singing chamber music, oratorio and operatic repertoire, including a performance of Carmina Burana with the Detroit Symphony for Leonard Slatkin's inaugural performance as Music Director. A 1999 National Finalist in the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions, she created the role of the Controller in the North American premiere performances of Jonathan Dove's Flight at Opera Theatre of St. Louis. a role which she later brought to the Boston Lyric Opera. This season she is featured with Boston Baroque in Handel's Amadigi di Gaula. Last year she joined Boston Baroque in their debut appearance at the International Casals Festival in Puerto Rico, singing to critical acclaim in Handel's Gloria for soprano and orchestra, Vivaldi's Gloria, and J.S. Bach's Magnificat. This season she is featured with Boston Baroque in Handel's Amadigi di Gaula and Monteverdi's Vespers of 1610.
Baritone Andrew Garland is known for engaging performances in opera and in recital. This season he performs as Dancairo in Carmen with Boston Lyric Opera, Don Giovanni with Opera New Jersey, and Figaro in Il barbiere di Siviglia with Knoxville Opera, and makes concert appearances in Carmina Burana with the Quad Cities Symphony and Vaughan Williams's Dona Nobis Pacem with the Plymouth Philharmonic. He recently made his recital debut at Carnegie Hall, where he debuted several works by living American composers. He has released two recordings: On the Other Shore, on the Azica label, including folk song settings by Steven Mark Kohn, and A Pocket of Time, on Naxos, including songs by Lee Hoiby.

I forgot what this story was for a while. Well, a conclusion should be nice, at least
| Anikasnow6 chapter 28 . 8/23/2015
This was amazing. Q_Q That part where Platinum reads about her choice was just so great. Poor Platinum, she had to go through so much. And just when I thought the Sinnoh trio couldn't suffer any more. This really has me hyped for the last chapter O_O Though of course, take your time. XD

Wow. Um, well this was quite an eventful chapter. All my thoughts throughout was sent via PM. :) But all in all, still a good chapter. But i understand why it may be a little "controversial" as it definitely had its iffy moments.
| FanaticLAguy06 chapter 28 . 8/21/2015
Wow. I was scared FOR Diamond and Pearl when they went to visit Platinum. What she said to them and the decision she made is justified, though. It is scary to see her ice cold again, but still justified. At least Red kept her from going completely crazy and she is still willing to trust the other dex holders. Well, I'm sure everything will be resolved between Platinum, Diamond, and Pearl next chapter, and I look forward to it.
| ZXCVBNMEM chapter 28 . 8/20/2015
Dayuuuum. I almost felt a little afraid for Diamond and Pearl. I can almost feel Platinum's anger too haha. Nice job with that speech. w)b Also enjoyed Platinum's crazy moment hehe.
| Nubiwen chapter 28 . 8/20/2015
Platinum is scary as hell.
| ZXCVBNMEM chapter 23 . 8/13/2015
Can I just say that I really REALLY like this chapter? It's now one of my favorite scenes hahaha. Poor Platinum. Poor everyone. I actually grinned and laughed out loud for a few seconds.
| Trajectory of Simplicity chapter 27 . 8/4/2015
I want to commend you, first of all, for your hard work that went into all these stories you're writing. I read quite a bit of EARLY (there are a few I haven't read at all or haven't finished) and am utterly floored by your attention to detail, your technical mastery, and your desire to stay true to the universe you have created. Your hard work definitely shines and I appreciate the complex plot and character portrayals. The way you handle multiple plot lines and manage to keep them separate and unique, yet connected and coherent is the sign of a great storyteller. The ideas you have bouncing around in your brain are true diamonds; your endless creativity awes me.
I've browsed through your Tumblr as well and while I don't entirely agree with your character analyses, I do respect your rational (and ultimately accurate) approach to understanding your characters while also staying faithful to writing a good, interesting story.
I'm a little bummed that you decided to wrap things up in this story, rather than allowing the differing plot lines to grow into its full fruition and resolution, but I can definitely empathize with your unwillingness to stretch out a story that you're not particularly fond of. I wish to commend you once again for staying faithful to your readers and maintaining your integrity in that you decided to stick with ending the parts that interest you, rather than canceling it outright.
As you can tell, I'm quite an admirer of your work ethic. I'm not a "faithful reviewer" or anything and I doubt I will be, but I look forward to reading more of your works. Pokemon Special holds a big place in my heart and your stories help satisfy my desire to connect with its world; my lack of accessibility to scanlations and inability to read raws have left me hanging (I'm stuck on White/Black 2 wah). Continue to keep up the great work, friend; it's such a pleasure reading your stories!

The issue of poor transformation of literary texts to Kindle formats is a common one, which is particularly evident with poetic texts:
A common problem is one in which the text of a poem is inset from the left margin by well over a centimetre (or more, dependant on the font setting - given that the Kindle screen is only 6 inches in diameter, any loss of screen space is going to compromise the reading experience), leaving often a large part of one half of the Kindle screen blank. This ensures that a line of poetry is then spread over several lines, disrupting the appreciation of the verse, and making the reading experience extremely unpleasant.
This is particularly evident in the Penguin Kindle edition of `Edmund Spenser's Faerie Queene,' an expensive Kindle book, which, while it is sold as a Kindle product is actually (as I was informed by an Amazon operative) formatted for Computer screens and I Pads.
The Penguin Kindle edition of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales is formatted in a similarly clumsy manner, and makes just as unpleasant a reading experience.Read more ›
This poem has all the hallmarks of being a work of many influences - it has the heroic aspects that one might expect from Old English epics such as Beowulf; it has a decided romantic streak reminiscent of French and Norman influences; it has virtue and church/Christian overlaying influences that come from Latin and ecclesial sources; it has magical and mystical ideas that are most likely Celtic in origin. Perhaps more like a tapestry, the various strands of influence are woven together into a glorious pattern that stands as a towerig achievement of the synthesis of language that Middle English achieved between its Germanic and Latinate streams.
Gawain's story is a very popular one. The most virtuous of the Round Table knights, his bravery and his resourcefulness at seeking the Green Knight, the annual challenger at the court of Arthur, is legendary. Gawain's small fault (and indeed, Gawain was portrayed as a virtuous human, but human nonetheless) warrants a very small penalty, but he is deemed upon reporting back to Camelot that he has brought honour upon the whole fellowship of knights. There is something magical about the Green Knight, however, and this can be seen as metaphor for the way in which temptation seems to have a magical power over humanity.
This is a good study edition, with a good translation and good notes for the student and scholar to follow.

Amid concerns that some Android and iOS apps are collecting personal information from devices and passing it to third parties, Google and Apple have agreed to meet with U.S. Senator Charles Schumer, the New York Times reported.
In a letter to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the New York Democrat expressed his concerns that privacy rights may be infringed as contact names, telephone numbers, and email addresses are acquired from devices without user permission. Schumer also urged the FTC to investigate Google and Apple in the letter.
"These uses go well beyond what a reasonable user understands himself to be consenting to when he allows an app to access data on the phone for purposes of the app's functionality," Reuters quoted Schumer as saying in the letter. "[Smartphone] makers should be required to put in place safety measures to ensure third-party applications are not able to violate a user's personal privacy by stealing photographs or data that the user did not consciously decide to make public."
Schumer noted that it was unclear whether the use of personal information in this way violates the terms of service of the Apple and Android platforms.
"It is not clear whether or how those terms of service are being enforced and monitored," he added. Schumer's office contacted both companies yesterday and reported they were "friendly and open to the idea" of preventing apps from having access to private info.
Schumer is "optimistic" they can fix this issue, but also said he's willing to look at a "legislative approach" beyond the FTC investigation.
In response to the claims of unauthorized photo sharing, Google has said that it is re-evaluating its policies with regards to application permissions.
"As phones and tablets have evolved to rely more on built-in, non-removable memory, we're taking another look at this and considering adding a permission for apps to access images," a Google spokesperson said in a statement. "We've always had policies in place to remove any apps on Android Market that improperly access your data."
The firm pointed out that its recently announced Bouncer service also scans the Android Market in an attempt to detect and remove malicious apps.
The request to the FTC comes as research from MWR InfoSecurity found that Android applications allow text messages, emails, photos, contacts and calendar information to be passed directly to advertising firms. The research was commissioned by Channel 4, although no details about which applications or how many pass on information have been disclosed at this time.

Janssen confident of Tottenham move
Holland forward Vincent Janssen expects to shortly complete a move from AZ Alkmaar to Tottenham, claiming the clubs are close to an agreement.
Spurs have made an offer of around £11million, but Dutch side AZ are holding out for closer to £17m, amid interest from the likes of Wolfsburg, Paris St Germain and recently West Ham.
The 23-year-old had been given permission to spend two days in London last month when he visited Spurs' training ground, meeting manager Mauricio Pochettino and discussing his plans for the future, while also settling on personal terms.
Janssen had returned for the start of pre-season training, but in an interview with local media suggested a deal was now close.
Janssen confirmed: "I won't train with AZ any more. The clubs are now really close to an agreement. I will go home and wait for the phone call to go.
Ramsey expects to miss start of Arsenal's Premier League season
Wales midfielder Aaron Ramsey expects he may miss the start of Arsenal's Premier League campaign as he recovers from his Euro 2016 exertions.
Ramsey was suspended for Wednesday night's semi-final defeat by Portugal in Lyon, which brought an end to the fine run from Chris Coleman's squad at the tournament.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger prefers to give players who have been away on international duty during the summer a four-week break, and Ramsey is not now scheduled to return to London Colney until August 1.
AZ Alkmaar reject latest Tottenham bid for Janssen
Tottenham have yet to come up with a suitable offer for AZ Alkmaar forward Vincent Janssen, according to the sporting director of the Dutch club, Max Huiberts.
Striker Janssen, the top scorer in the Eredivisie last season with 27 goals, was given permission to spend two days in London last month and visited Spurs' training ground, meeting manager Mauricio Pochettino and discussing his plans for the future.
Spurs are said to have initially tabled an offer of around £11million, which has reportedly since been improved upon, but Alkmaar are holding firm for closer to their £17million valuation.
Bournemouth close on £15m Ibe deal
Bournemouth have had a £15million bid for Liverpool winger Jordon Ibe accepted by the Merseyside club.
Ibe has been given permission to speak to the Cherries after a 2015-16 season that saw him make only 12 Premier League starts for the Reds.
The 20-year-old has been with Liverpool since joining from Wycombe in 2011.
Cresswell extends West Ham stay
West Ham United full-back Aaron Cresswell has signed a one-year contract extension.
Cresswell, 26, joined the Hammers from Ipswich two years ago and has firmly established himself in the side during that time.
His extension will keep him at the club until 2021 and follows on from Michail Antonio penning a fresh deal on Monday as manager Slaven Bilic looks to tie down all of his key personnel to longer contracts.
Swansea seal Fer deal
Swansea City have confirmed the signing of Leroy Fer from QPR for an undisclosed fee.
The Holland international midfielder has signed a three-year contract after impressing manager Francesco Guidolin while on loan last season.
"I'm very happy, from the first minute I felt at home," he told the club's official website. "We did very good in the second half of the season.
"If we play like that, we can aim for higher, and that's what we want. Hopefully some new strong players (will) come in to help us.
"It makes it easier for me as well, if a coach wants you. (Guidolin) was surprised (at my ability), he said."
Chelsea complete Batshuayi signing
Chelsea have announced the signing of Marseille's Belgian forward Michy Batshuayi on a five-year contract.
More to follow.
Leicester sign midfielder Mendy from Nice
Leicester have signed former France Under-21 midfielder Nampalys Mendy from Nice on a four-year deal, for an undisclosed fee.
The 24-year-old helped Nice secure a fourth-place finish in Ligue 1 last season and becomes the Foxes' third signing of the summer.
The Premier League champions have already welcomed Ron-Robert Zieler and Luis Hernandez to the club and Mendy is happy to join the ranks.
Speaking to the club's website, Mendy said: "I am very happy to come to Leicester City. The team have just enjoyed a great season and it's excellent to be here.
"For me I want to play at this level. I like the Premier League and I follow every match. It's fast and physical and I want to impose myself on the league."
Mendy worked under Claudio Ranieri at Monaco and is keen to renew his relationship with the Leicester manager.
He added: "I know the coach, I know his mentality and I know his philosophy. When he speaks it's direct and clear and for me I like this."
