In 1930, a group of members of the order local to the Christchurch area began to meet regularly at a pub in Christchurch, and at about the same time the annual 'conclave' was held in nearby Bournemouth. Some time later the group decided that a more permanent venue was required.
The group's headquarters near Christchurch was a wooden building named the Ashrama Hall, completed in 1936 in the garden of a house owned by Catherine Emily Chalk, who probably also started the original meetings in the pub. In 1938, on the same land, the group built the Christchurch Garden Theatre, which called itself The First Rosicrucian Theater in England. From June-September 1938 it presented mystically-themed plays, written by Sullivan under his journalistic pen-name Alex Matthews.
Sabina Magliocco, in her examination of the influences of the study of folklore on the development of Wicca, considers it possible that by the late 1930s some members of the Crotona Fellowship were performing Wicca-like rituals based on Co-Masonry, and that this was the group referred to by Gerald Gardner as the 'New Forest Coven'.
The numbers attending Rosicrucian Order Crotona Fellowship events always were small, and the group is best known today for its association with Gerald Gardner and Peter Caddy. Following the death of George Alexander Sullivan in 1942, the group's activities and membership diminished. By the early 1950s their focus had moved to Southampton.
A significant minority among students of Alice Bailey's Arcane School were members of the Crotona Fellowship

PROGRAM: Science and Technology Centers (STC): Integrative Partnerships
OBJECTIVES: This program supports innovative research and education projects that require large-scale, long-term investments. STCs conduct world-class research through partnerships among academic institutions, national laboratories, industrial organizations, and/or other public/private entities, and via international collaborations. These partnerships build intellectual and physical infrastructure within or between disciplines and facilitate the creation, integration, and transfer of new knowledge.
The STC program supports important investigations at the interfaces of disciplines or fresh approaches within disciplines. STCs may involve any areas of science and engineering that NSF supports. STCs exploit opportunities in science, engineering and technology where the complexity of the research agenda requires the duration, scope, scale, flexibility, and facilities that Center support can provide. They help enable U.S. leadership in research in a world in which discovery, learning and innovation enterprises are increasingly interconnected, and increasingly global. Centers offer the science and engineering community a venue for interaction and an effective mechanism to undertake long-term, integrated scientific and technological research and education activities; to explore better and more effective ways to educate students; to broaden participation of underrepresented groups; and to develop approaches to ensure the timely transfer of research and education advances made in service to society. STC partner institutions work together with the lead institution as an integrated whole to achieve the shared research, education, diversity, and knowledge-transfer goals of the Center.
ELIGIBLITY RESTRICTIONS: A single organization may submit a maximum of three preliminary proposals as the lead institution. The STC program will not provide support for more than one proposed Center from any one lead institution in this competition.
Past members of STCs may participate in this open competition only if the proposed research and education topics or themes are substantially different from those they pursued with prior NSF Center support. The proposers must focus on a different research topic. New proposals that simply extend the methods and intent of a past STC to a slightly larger scope or a new geographic area will be returned without review.
The STC Program complements the Engineering Research Centers (ERCs), the Centers for Excellence in Materials Research and Innovation (CEMRI)—formerly known as Materials Research Science and Engineering Centers (MRSECs), the Nanoscale Science and Engineering Centers (NSEC), Science of Learning Centers (SLCs) and other NSF programs that support group research and education activities. Proposals that might typically be eligible for such programs are welcome in the STC program. However, simultaneous submission of duplicate or substantially similar proposals to other NSF programs is not permitted, and such proposals will be returned without review. Participation in a Center does not preclude individuals from receiving NSF support for their individual research in complementary areas.
Internal BU deadline: March 25, 2011
Preliminary Proposals (required): May 30, 2011
Full Proposals (by invitation only): February 3, 2012
FUNDING INFORMATION: Approximately $30 million is expected to be available for first-year support of newly funded centers in FY 2013. NSF expects to make up to 6 awards, contingent on availability of funds. Each award will be made as a Cooperative Agreement to the lead institution, with an initial commitment for five years of support and a possibility of renewal for five additional years. Proposed STC annual budgets may range up to $5 million per year of NSF support. Proposals outside this range will be returned without review.

Primary menu hidden by sliders in Platform theme after update
Posted 03 April 2013 - 06:46 PM
Hi guys,
I'm having a problem since i updated Platform theme yesterday, hope you can help me.
Primary menu drops down behind the sliders, so it's invisible. I'm using Promotion slider plugin, but problem started after updating the theme.
You may take a look at the screenshot here.
Any suggestions?
Posted 03 April 2013 - 07:34 PM
This is a z-index issue. You'll need to use Custom CSS (in PageLines > Site Options > Custom Code > Custom CSS/LESS). To find the Custom CSS you need, you'll need to use Firebug (or Chrome Development tools). To learn how to use Firebug to find the navigation selector you need, please review this entire documentation and follow the instructions: http://support.pagel...ion/custom-css/
For help with the z-index property, please see this reference: http://www.w3schools...pos_z-index.asp
Posted 03 April 2013 - 09:50 PM
Hi Catrina, thanks for your answer.
(I forgot to say something: The menu is indeed hidden by Platform's universal sidebar, where plugin's shortcode is).
I guess that's a little bit to complicated for me, i should spend a couple of hours or days in understanding and i'm not even sure i'll get it right.
I'll maybe try to find another solution, either adapting the blog's visual design to handle the issue or uploading Platform's previous version.
Edited by linkfr, 03 April 2013 - 10:03 PM.
Posted 03 April 2013 - 10:18 PM
I just uploaded through ftp the previous version of platform, and the problem persists... Why is that? Does it mean the problem is not in the theme but somewhere else?
Edited by linkfr, 03 April 2013 - 10:25 PM.
Posted 03 April 2013 - 10:36 PM
Hi there, if you updated the plugin or wordpress at the time you updated platform then it could be some of the options in either one had changed.
It does look like a z-index issue from the screenshot, so I would think the plugin changed the levels the images display at which has conflicted with the menu drop down etc. Z-index is like a layering system, what goes in front of what etc.
Posted 03 April 2013 - 11:11 PM
Hi James B, thanks for your answer.
Yes, indeed, i bulk updated themes (5) and plugins (about 30) and deleted unused plugins (+200)...
Do you think reinstalling platform or, more likely, promotion slider plugin will solve this?
I haven't tried it so far because i'm afraid of having to reset the plugin if i do and that would mean +50 slides in 7 blogs.
Posted 03 April 2013 - 11:18 PM
I don't think doing that would solve it unless you downgraded to a previous edition of the slider, which could then cause problems with wordpress if it wasn't compatible with the latest edition etc.
To edit the z-index of the item isn't to bad, its simply a case of finding the correct number to put in to correct the layering. Example {z-index:30;}
All you will to do if find the correct selector for that slider in the css, to do that you'll need to inspect the slider using a web developer tool like firebug. There's a walk through on how to inspect items on http://support.pagel...ion/custom-css/
Then its just a case of putting it together with the z-index code above and editing the number until you see the change take affect and the drop down go back to being in front of the slider.
Posted 04 April 2013 - 02:23 PM
Hi again, indeed i'm quite a beginner (i dont even know why my profile says advanced member).
I just tried pasting this: {z-index:30;} and nothing changed after saving.
Is there more code i should add or just try to find the right number instead of 30? From 1 to ?? 100?
Posted 04 April 2013 - 09:21 PM
Well using an inspector like firebug or chrome developer tool will allow you to see the changes live on the site so you can copy/paste the correct code back when you find the right number. You will need to add additional code prior to that instruction depending on the code the slider is inputting. The slider will have a specific name/class that you can input infront of the z-index code.
Examples can be seen on - http://support.pagel...ion/custom-css/
Posted 05 April 2013 - 02:35 PM
Hi again,
I've got this far but the thing is i still don't know what to look at, what to change, how to change it.
Here is a firebug screenshot and a the page's code is here. Am i heading the right way?
Plugin author says z index must be set at least to 101. So so far i pasted this but still no change:
.promo_slider{ position:relative; z-index:101; }
Posted 05 April 2013 - 11:54 PM
That's quite a high index for that, the only thing you can do in that case is try and edit the drop down menu's z-index to be above it. I've put in 102, but you might have to try much higher to get it to show.
ul.sf-shadow ul.sub-menu, ul.sf-shadow ul.children { background: url("images/shadow.png") no-repeat scroll right bottom transparent; padding: 0 6px 7px 0; z-index: 102; }
Posted 06 April 2013 - 08:20 AM
I pasted and saved the exact code in PageLines Settings > Custom Code but nothing changed. I also tried modifying the z-index number: 102 to 111, 199 to 203, 1000, 2000, but no changes can be seen. I even tried the code without ul.children in case that might be related to child themes (?) because i never created any.
Thanks for your patience. So far i guess i'm closer to solving it thanks to your help and confirm this is still a high level issue for me.
Posted 06 April 2013 - 01:28 PM
You're making the z-index number higher, which sends things further back. Lower the number to bring things forward, for example, 102 could go to 90.
Here are some helpful sites that explain it further:
http://www.w3schools...pos_z-index.asp - has a testing area for numbers
http://coding.smashi...rehensive-look/ - Everything you need to know about z-index (but didn't know you needed).
Since you mention using Platform, I recommend upgrading to PageLines Framework. Since PlatformPro is deprecated, each update of WordPress is going to cause more problems such as the one you're experiencing. Eventually, there will not be a solution available, so it's better to upgrade now, before you experience problems.
Posted 07 April 2013 - 01:05 PM
Ok... So far i've understood that the lower z-index is, the further back the element will show. But only if position is set as relative.
Plugin's z-index is set to 101 for the slider and 101 for the slider navigation buttons. Both positions are originally absolute.
I set them to relative and played around in slider.css increasing and decreasing z-index so that it is higher or lower than the z-index in the theme's code (PageLines Settings > Custom Code, but wasn't able to change it...
Please help (!).
Posted 07 April 2013 - 01:40 PM
May I have a link to the specific page where this problem exists? I'll take a further look.
Posted 07 April 2013 - 04:10 PM
Hi Rob, thanks! Sure, you will find it in Pastebin here.
(Sorry for not typing the url here).
Posted 07 April 2013 - 04:29 PM
Well, I can see the problem, but I can't seem to find the right element to fix.
I have tried changing the slider's z-index to 199 from 99, but that's not working. I think you would need to ask the slider's developer what z-index would move his slider back.
Also, I think this issue would be resolved when you upgrade to PageLines Framework.
I am still looking though, and will report any changes I find.
Posted 07 April 2013 - 04:46 PM
Both the submenu and the slider use position: absolute; which, it seems, is forcing the z-index issue. I've tried changing the menu to position: relative; with a z-index of 1, or even 90. This then makes the menu fully visible, but pushes the slider further down on the page, below the lowest submenu item, because it's placed on the page inside a text widget, as opposed to being a section.
If you upgrade, I suspect that you could use our regular slider, or optionally other sliders we provide to replace this 3rd party product we can't properly support. I know that we have no issues with this in PageLines Frameworks with any of our sliders.
Posted 09 April 2013 - 04:41 PM
Ok, thanks, i'll see what i can do. Two questions before:
1/ Just to understand, when you say you've tried or changed this and that, does it mean you modify my blog? And, in such a case, how is that possible?
2/ Which is the file where i can set the menu's position as relative?
Posted 09 April 2013 - 09:25 PM
Hi there, yes we can look at your site online and modify the css which renders on the page using firebug or google chrome developer tools. That doesn't affect the site, only the page we're looking at on our machine etc. So we can see the changes but the actual version online remains as it is.
You would change the position using css. Any css changes you make you can just copy/paste the code back into the custom code box inside the platform admin area.

List of ALL
Farley IV poems
Patrick Farley IV
This room is built for one
that's in my point of view,
it's small and like a box
so I couldn't fit in two.
I sit here by myself
forced to stare into a mirror
nobody stands behind me;
no, it's the man in front I fear.
No distractions from myself
no, I can't forget about me
that man behind the mirror will not be
leaving here without me.
I scan avoiding eye contact
I think he starts to doubt me.
I look in, he looks back;
epitome of outreach.
This man I grew to be
is a man I'm left to blame
now I'm scarce and left with me;
I'm left with him as well today.
No internet connection
and that doorbell never rang
I say to my reflection,
"you're the only man that came."

ADHD in Children Health Center
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: Alternative Treatments
In this article
While prescription medications and standard behavioral treatments have been shown to be effective in treating ADHD symptoms, many people wonder if nonconventional or alternative treatments can also be effective.
Alternative treatments for ADHD include elimination diets, supplementation with omegas 3s, parent training, neurofeedback, or memory training.
ADHD Symptoms
The symptoms of ADHD include inattention and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity that are inappropriate for age.
There are three different types of ADHD. Combined ADHD (the most common type) includes all of the symptoms. Inattentive ADHD is marked by impaired attention and concentration and hyperactive-impulsive type is marked by hyperactivity without inattentiveness.
To help recognize ADHD, understand that some symptoms that cause impairment must be present before age seven years and some impairment from the symptoms must be present in more than one setting (like home and school or home and work).
Which dietary interventions are used to treat ADHD?
Over the past few decades, there has been much controversy about sugar and ADHD symptoms such as hyperactivity. Research does show that refined (processed sugars) and carbohydrates can have an effect on a child's activity level. Because these sugars quickly enter the bloodstream, they can produce a rapid increase in blood glucose levels. When blood sugar spikes, a child may become much more active due to an adrenaline rush produced by the rise in blood glucose.
At this time, there is no proof that a diet high in sugar actually causes ADHD. However, nutritionists suggest adding more fiber to a child's diet to help manage glucose levels and keep them even. High-fiber foods include berries and other fruits, whole grains, and oatmeal.
What about the Feingold Diet and ADHD symptoms?
Years ago, Ben Feingold, MD, an allergist, created a popular elimination diet designed to treat hyperactivity. The Feingold Diet proposed the elimination of artificial colorings, flavorings, and preservatives in order to decrease hyperactivity. While most scientific studies have disproved Feingold's theory, some parents who have tried the elimination diet have reported an improvement in their child's behavior.
With elimination diets for ADHD, parents try eliminating certain foods from their child's diet if they believe these foods affect the child's behavior negatively. However, some experts theorize that behavioral changes can be noted in children following an elimination diet simply because of the way parents interact with the child while on the special diet.
A popular theory about the elimination diet for ADHD is that the child's behavior improves based on the behavioral changes, not the diet.
If you decide to try an elimination diet for ADHD, be careful to not be too restrictive with your child's diet in order to avoid nutritional deficiencies. In addition, always consult your child's doctor before trying any ADHD treatment. Registered dietitians and doctors can help you devise a healthy eating plan for your child.
Recent research has documented a decrease in omega-3 fatty acids in the blood of children with ADHD. As a result, supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids is now recommended for children with ADHD. Placebo studies have shown that children who were given omega-3s over those given a placebo showed a small but significant improvement in symptom severity.

As Ryan Seacrest said on his radio show, he doesn't know if he's ever "seen anything quite like" the star power on one stage at the same time.
Madonna hasn't worked with Spears since their infamous MTV kiss in 2003. And Spears hasn't worked with Timberlake since they called it quits a few years ago.

Updated: December 8, 2010, 6:02 PM ETAssociated Press
IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Standout Iowa receiver Derrell Johnson-Koulianos made his initial court appearance Wednesday on drug charges that have shocked Hawkeyes fans and left his future in doubt.
Johnson-Koulianos, Iowa's all-time leading receiver and a fan favorite nicknamed "DJK," is not accused of dealing drugs.

George Hadjinikos
George Hadjinikos (Greek: Γιώργος Χατζηνίκος; born May 3, 1923, in Volos, Greece) is a Greek piano soloist, conductor, teacher, and author with an international career. He is placed by many amongst the most exceptional "philosophers of Music"), having been given kudos from some of the greatest musical personalities in 20th-century music such as Dimitris Mitropoulos, Edwin Fischer, Carl Orff, Jean Françaix, Heinrich Neuhaus, Sir John Barbirolli, Hans Heinz Stuckenschmidt and many others. Among his teachers were Edwin Fischer, Johann Nepomuk David, Carl Orff, Alice Pashkus, Eduard Erdmann, George Chavchavadze, in a quite exceptional way Heinrich Neuhaus, and others. Since 1961, he is a UK resident and following that a British citizen. He shares, since 1990, his time between England and Greece.
He began his musical education as a child at the Volos Conservatoire in Greece. After moving to Athens in 1934, he continued at the Athens Conservatoire, graduating in 1943 with a piano diploma and a degree in harmony. During this period he decided to abandon his studies at the Faculty of Law at the University of Athens (where he had passed as 5th in 1940)[citation needed] and devote himself exclusively to music.
After the war, he continued his studies at the Mozarteum in Salzburg from where he graduated with piano and conducting diplomas in 1948–49, while being awarded the Lilly Lehmann Medal of the Mozarteum International Foundation. While studying in Salzburg he met great musicians, such as Johann Nepomuk David who introduced him to the spirit of Johann Sebastian Bach, of polyphony and of choral music. In 1950 he attended a composition seminar given by Paul Hindemith (whose 2nd version of his work 'Marienleben', he had given the European premiere a few months earlier in Salzburg with tremendous success). He also had the opportunity to play to the composer his Piano Sonata No.3 during this period, making the composer say to him "I have heard it many times in the past by American and German pianists, but for the first time I heard the structure of the Fugue." When Hadjinikos had performed this Sonata with the cycle Marienleben, due to the success he was accused that he had beautified the Sonata in a sort of 'Mediterranean-Ravel like' way and didn't capture the Hindemith-style. When he told this to Hindemith, the otherwise extremely severe composer smiled gently and answered "If we suppose that there is such a thing as a 'Hindemith-style', then this is exactly what I just heard."
He began giving public recitals and performing as a soloist with orchestras playing Johannes Brahms's both Concertos, Robert Schumann's, Aram Khachaturian's, Ludwig van Beethoven's 4th and 5th, Sergei Rachmaninoff's 2nd and his Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini. He was called to give 80 recitals in Germany (in co-operation with the American Information Center) due to his European premiere of Aaron Copland's Piano Sonata.
In 1951 he moved from Salzburg to Munich where he studied with Carl Orff and with whom he had a great friendship until the end of the composer's life. In 1952, he came across one of Nikos Skalkottas's works for the first time, becoming an authority on the works of this great Greek composer, of whom he has been an energetic and committed exponent since.
From 1952 till 1957 he lived in Hamburg, where he took lessons on contemporary interpretation with Eduard Erdmann at the Hochschule für Musik. In October 1953 he gave the world premiere of Skalkottas's Piano Concerto No.2 with the NWDR (today NDR) Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Hermann Scherchen. For this performance, Hadjinikos was sent a microfilm with the extremely illegible full score and had to copy the piano part with a magnifying glass in order to learn his part. This was the performance which caused the BBC to take an interest in the work, leading to its subsequent broadcast and the publication of Hans Keller's historic article in The Listener entitled 'Nikos Skalkottas: An Original Genius'. In December 1954, he discovered several lost Skalkottas manuscripts in a second-hand bookshop in Berlin: the works unearthed were the Octet, two String Quartets, and the Piano Concerto No.1.
He continued to give recitals and appear as a soloist with orchestras performing Béla Bartók's Piano Concerto No. 2 in Hamburg, Salzburg and Prague, Skalkottas's Piano Concerto No. 2 in Stockholm and Vienna, Arnold Schoenberg's Piano Concerto in Stockholm (Swedish premiere). The performance of Bartók's Piano Concerto No. 2 with the NWDR Symphony Orchestra under Hans Schmidt-Isserstedt on the occasion of the 10 years since Bartók's death, established him as the "ideal interpreter" of the great Hungarian composer.
In 1957 he moved to France where he stayed until 1960. There, he met and studied with Prince and Princess Chavchavadze at Châtel-Censoir being initiated to Russian and French music. In 1959, while on a tour in the Soviet Union, when he reached Moscow he received an invitation by Heinrich Neuhaus whom he met and had been given by him the first "seeds" of teaching. During the same year, Hadjinikos moved to Paris.
Circumstances led him to Switzerland, where he settled for less than a year. In 1961, after a tour in South Africa, he accepted to join the piano faculty of the Royal Manchester College of Music (today Royal Northern College of Music), thus moving to Manchester. Besides his Piano classes at the College, he branched out into Conducting, History of music, Chamber music, Harmonization of Praxis and Theory, Relation between Art and Science a.o., realizing that the problems of musical education are infinitely deeper than he first believed. This made him stay at the College 27 years instead of 3 as he had planned, retiring in 1988. During these years, he had been discovering answers which concern music in the whole and thus established a personal foundational approach to music, which he named Logic and Foundations (today Essence and Origins) of Musical Interpretation and has presented it in various articles and essays, while also applies it to all of his musical activities.
Parallelly, he multiplied his appearances as a soloist and a conductor. With the College's Choir he premiered the there unknown Carmina Burana by Orff and established the "New Manchester Ensemble", premiering in North England Schoenberg's Pierrot Lunaire and Ode to Napoleon (conducting both from the piano). First performances of Arnold Schoenberg's Serenade, op.24, Wind Quintet, op. 26, and complete Piano Pieces, Anton Webern's 5 Pieces for orchestra, op.10 and Concerto, op.24, Igor Stravinsky's Octet, Les Noces and Histoire du Soldat, Nikos Skalkottas' Andante sostenuto, Octet and Classic Symphony followed, as well as works by Robert Gerhard, Tōru Takemitsu, György Ligeti, Jani Christou, Iannis Xenakis a.o. In cooperation with the UMIST (University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology) he established the North Campus Choir with which he presented Brahms's A German Requiem, Bach's Mass in B Minor, Stravinsky's Mass and Elizabethan madrigals. He founded special classes in "initiating" in the deeper meaning of music (not only for musicians).
Always appearing in recitals and concerts, he performed Bartók's Piano Concerto No.1 in Germany and his Piano Concerto No.3 in England and Greece, Schoenberg's Piano Concerto in Paris with the Orchestre National de France under Dimitris Chorafas and in Geneva with the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande under Samuel Baud-Bovy, Ravel's Concerto in G major with The Hallé Orchestra under Jussi Jalas and the Concerto for left hand with the same orchestra (conducting himself from the piano), Skalkottas's Piano Concerto No.2 in Zürich, London with the BBC Symphony Orchestra under Antal Doráti and Berlin with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra under Ernest Bour).
In 1968 he gave his first recital and lecture at New Delhi in India and had the opportunity at their Music Academy to experience ancient and unprecedented dimensions of musical perception, which he worked out during his next two visits to India and built into his following musical activities. In 1969 he conducted the world premiere of Skalkottas's Piano Concerto No.3, played the world premiere of the 'Five Works for Winds and Piano' and the London premiere of the Bassoon Sonata, while also preparing and editing the orchestral parts.
The next year he attended the 'Bach Conference' in New York, and visited Tanglewood and the 'Vermont Festival' where he met great musicians, such as Rosalyn Tureck and Rudolf Serkin.
After conducting for a few years the Orchestras of Hoylake and South Manchester, he took over the Bury Symphony Orchestra, with which he presented 40 different programs of the main symphonic repertoire, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's 5 greatest operas and Beethoven's Fidelio. For years he conducted the 'Cleveland Easter Orchestral Courses' and the 'Canford Choral Weekends'.
In 1978 he gave the World Premiere of Skalkottas's Piano Concerto No.1 under Michel Tabachnik in Greece and the next year he conducted Skalkottas's Overture 'Ulysses's Return' in Copenhagen at the E.B.U. (European Broadcasting Union) and gave the World Premier of the Double Bass Concerto. In 1984, he was invited at the instigation of Prof. Josef Rufer, formerly Schoenberg's assistant in Berlin, to present Skalkottas in a special recital at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles (at that time the location of the Arnold Schoenberg Institute). During the same year, he takes over the annual summer seminars and festival organized by the Cultural Foundation "G. Angelinis-Pia Hadjinikos" at Horto, a beautiful village in Pelion, Greece. During these seminars orchestras are being made up by Greek and foreign musicians, having presented works by Beethoven, Brahms, Jean Sibelius, Carl Orff, Christou, Charles Ives, Pyotr Tchaikovsky, Bartók, Dmitri Shostakovich and many others.
In 1990, the University of Pavia awarded him the 'Ugo Foscolo' Medal for his offerings in European Music. During the years 1993 and 1995 he conducted 7 classic programs with the Berlin Symphony Orchestra (now Konzerthausorchester Berlin).
During his multifarious career he never stopped visiting Greece, collaborating (either as a pianist or conductor) with Greek and foreign orchestras. He has appeared at the Athens Festival both as a soloist and conductor, having performed Skalkottas with Miltiadis Karydis and having conducted works by Jani Christou with the Radio Symphony Orchestra of Milan and by Skalkottas with the Košice State Philharmonic Orchestra.
He never stops his manifold musical activities, as well as travelling and teaching extensively, always aiming to awaken each student's subconscious. He teaches every summer at Horto, Greece. He is often invited to give seminars abroad under the title 'Essence and Origins of Musical Interpretation', which allow any instrumentalist, singer, ensemble, orchestra and even the audience to take part since they aim in discovering Music itself rather than simply giving advice concerning technique. He is president of the jury at the Ibiza International Piano Competition which takes place every two years.
Among his more prominent former pupils are Gilbert Biberian, Paul Galbraith, Richard Ward-Roden, Teodor Currentzis, Trefor Smith, Robyn Koh, Smaro Gregoriadou, Yiorgo Moutsiaras and Duo Vivo.
He is an author of two books. One about Skalkottas accompanied with two CDs, and one about Mozart's recitatives in his Operas. Currently he is preparing his third book which is about 'Essence and Origins of Musical Interpretation'.
Essence and Origins of Musical Interpretation[edit]
The "Essence and Origins" workshops differ radically from conventional master classes that usually offer advice and directives within the framework of a particular instrument or voice. These workshops aim at a wider, more general approach, departing from the principle that music is formally learned from 'without', e.g. via technical and theoretical notions. Instead, the aim is to recover the instinctual and deeper foundations of both musical theory and practical techniques in order to capture the essence of music from within. In place of mere technical advice, the musical elements and meanings are explored from within, and the performer is guided and encouraged first to discover for himself so as to acquire gradually the ability to identify with the ideas that sparked the composers' creative impulses.
Only with such an approach can an interpretation be achieved which makes the music genuinely accessible to the layman, bestowing upon the performer the most satisfying rewards and upon music the fulfilment of its true goal. After all, Beethoven himself wrote at the beginning of his greatest work, his Missa Solemnis, "from the heart… may it to hearts go again"; while Haydn in his old age, despite being exhausted by a life of unceasing labour was, as he himself states, "forcing himself to continue composing, in order to bring joy to some unhappy and desperate soul".
It is imperative for this purpose to confront immediately and in depth each error in order to discover its roots and thus be able to eliminate it. At the same time, the participants are encouraged to bring forward free and unhampered any query whatever, so that through a process of clarification, one might arrive at essential questions and clear answers. In this way one circumvents the curse of present day education, which, because of perceived lack of time for such 'luxuries', promotes hasty and unchecked copying of prefabricated answers. Given the basis on which grades and degrees are currently awarded, such attitudes may help students to achieve them more easily, but they also admit mechanical performances and soulless music making.
The knowledge that results from such a process withers like cut flowers, whilst knowledge that is sown by an alert mind in an awakened instinct fertilizes and enriches, bearing blossoms and fruits like living plants and trees. Education that neglects the awakening and cultivation of the instinct leads to superficial and sterile knowledge. Genuine and fertile learning emerges only from an education in which the probing mind awakens and cultivates the instinct, replacing the self-indulgent inertia of incomplete knowledge with humility, understanding and constantly developing through growing assimilation of nature's perennial wisdom.
George Hadjinikos, Oct. 1997
As seen by others[edit]
"George Hadjinikos has a unique ability, arrived at through a deep understanding coupled with a natural intuition, to identify the true character of musical works. My own experience of this has been in the London series of workshops "Logic and Foundations of Interpretation" in which Professor Hadjinikos looks into the roots of understanding of a work in such a way that the performance is a logical extension of these and so a natural communication. The transformation achieved during the sessions is astonishing. His communicative ability extends equally to his description of the works in which he transforms the gamut of specialist knowledge into a form understood by everyone without the condition of previous knowledge. In my opinion, George Hadjinikos is one of the very finest musicians and teachers we have today." Michael Bochmann (Organiser of the London Seminars)
"George Hadjinikos belongs absolutely to the first rank of his generation. Thanks to a quite exceptional talent and a most thorough musical knowledge, he excels equally as a pianist, an educator, and in particular both an orchestral and choral conductor." Carl Orff
"For many years I have known and held in esteem George Hadjinikos, an outstanding musician, who has an intimate knowledge not only of established repertoire but also of all branches of modern music especially the work of Arnold Schoenberg and his Viennese School. To this must be added his theoretical knowledge and a remarkable flair for education. In this way he is predisposed to follow an extraordinary path in music." Prof. Josef Rufer (Schoenberg's Assistant in Berlin)
"We, the Maggini Quartet, have been coached by Professor George Hadjinikos over a period of many years in quartets ranging from Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven through to Ravel, Prokofiev and Schoenberg and his help has always been inspirational. He approaches music from its roots, his knowledge of which is enormous and ever-growing and often achieves results by 'taking away', allowing the music to be revealed, as opposed to adding musicality on the top, which is so common today. His workshops should not be missed. David Angel (2nd violin, Maggini Quartet)
"Dear George, I am sure that what I told you about my joy at your Carmina Burana last night was quite inadequate, but even as I write I know I cannot express in words the experience you and all your talented company gave me. This is what art is about – joy which cannot be defined but is felt in one's bones and substance. And clearly this was in all your singers and players last night as well as in the audience. In life we know that vibrations radiate from everything, but so often we are not aware of them; last night the vibrations were audible and visible, and they added up to meaning and therefore affirmation and therefore joy in life. The faces of those children is something I shall never forget. You made us feel what a mockery most "music" is, with as much life as a bowler hat; Orff's music grows from the roots. What pleasure!! Idris Parry (Professor of German Literature, University of Manchester)
"Dear Mr. Hadjinikos, Everyone concerned with the Cleveland Easter Orchestral Courses has been full of praise for the splendid music, which has been created during those very pleasant and interesting weeks. The course members in particular have been full of admiration for the enthusiasm and the brilliance of your teaching. In keeping with your own expressed philosophy of Music and Music-making, great things were achieved in the lives of the people fortunate enough to attend these courses. New friendships and the happiness that these created have all been part of this great project. Truly it has been for everyone a great personal experience. L. Robinson, Principal Cleveland Technical College
"My dear friend, I honestly have no way of telling you the extent of our gratitude for your Canford Choral Weekends. They have been the most worthwhile and successful ventures in the musical life of the school since I came 10 years ago." B. Manning (Director of Music, Canford School)
"How delighted we are to express today our affection and gratitude after 13 years of making music together. None of this would have been possible without your guiding hand which moulded and developed our musical sensibilities and abilities giving us the confidence to play music of unsurpassed beauty. Who will ever forget your mastery of each subject and your ability to make the philosophy behind the music comprehensible to us?" Arthur Price (Chairman of the Bury Symphony Orchestra)
"The concert with works by Skalkottas that was given in the Herodes Atticus Theatre proved a surprise. For the first time the 'composer of the intellectuals' reached and captured the whole audience who, astounded, realized the richness of sonorities in his orchestration, as well as the endless colourful variety of his harmonies. Above all however, they realized how Skalkottas captures and expresses the soul of Hellenism. His outrageously difficult scores found ideal interpreters in George Hadjinikos with the Košice Orchestra. The continuous vitality together with the unfailing observation to each detail kept us spellbound and surprised to the end." Kathimerini (leading Athens newspaper)
"Dear George, Thank you for a quite exceptionally impressive concert, which included outstanding stretches in what is, texturally, one of the two most difficult works to play in our entire literature (the other is Schoenberg's 3rd Quartet). The Mozart, likewise, evinced deeply understanding tempo characters and phrasings—though here, there are also one or two things that could be further developed not contradicting your marvellous, highly characteristic tempo definition. But let these tiny points not overshadow my enthusiastic reaction to one of the few musical concerts one has been allowed to hear!! Yours, Hans" Hans Keller (the outstanding musicologist and musician, concerning the London performance of Schoenberg's Chamber Symphony No.1 and Mozart's Gran Partita for 13 Winds)
"Dear Sir, I listened to your rendering of my "Six Preludes for Strings" with the most total delight. With your marvellous comprehension of my Preludes you know how to change the atmosphere with the most perfect authenticity six times, passing with subtlety from a common joke to poetry. (With Ulysses among your ancestors, this goes without saying, but it goes even better by pointing it out). Believe me your grateful admirer, Jean Françaix Jean Françaix (the eminent French composer)

Michael Shanks (archaeologist)
Michael Shanks (born 1959 in Newcastle upon Tyne) is a British archaeologist who has specialized in Classical archaeology and archaeological theory. He received his BA and PhD from Cambridge University, and was a lecturer at the University of Wales, Lampeter before moving to the United States of America in 1999 to take up a Chair in Classics at Stanford University. Michael lives in Northern California with his two children and his wife Helen Shanks, ceramic artist, and former head of visual and performing arts at Castilleja School in Palo Alto, CA. He also taught Latin, Greek and Classical Studies at Whitley Bay High School from 1983-88 [1] and was well known by pupils for his hippy length hair and recitation of the Odyssey in Greek without translation whilst seated cross legged on the teacher's desk.
Shanks was a key figure in the development of post-processualism and interpretive archaeology during the 1980s, especially through his collaboration with Christopher Tilley which led to the publication of two influential books: 'Re-Constructing Archaeology' and 'Social Theory and Archaeology' (both 1987). Shanks' first single-authored book, 'Experiencing the Past' (1992), considered the character of archaeological thinking, drawing examples form a wide range of British and European archaeology. During the 1990s, two further monographs - Classical Archaeology of Greece: Experiences of the Discipline (1996) and Art and the Early Greek City State (1999) applied aspects of post-processual thinking to Classical archaeology. He co-authored 'Theatre/Archaeology' (2001) with performance researcher Mike Pearson. Shanks has also authored and co-authored a range of journal articles, including an influential paper on 'the craft of archaeology' in 1996, published in American Antiquity (with Randall H. McGuire).
Current research activities[edit]
Shanks is director of the MetaMedia Lab and co-directs the Stanford Humanities Lab at Stanford University. The Metamedia Lab and the Stanford Humanities Lab, both related to the emerging field of Media studies (which includes such theorists as Lev Manovich and Marshall McLuhan), are pioneering digital arts and human sciences research projects dedicated to promoting cocreation, building large-scale digital collaborative architectures, and experimenting with new approaches to archival practice and visual media.
