The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians

Jovan Stosic January 14, 2020

The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians is an encyclopedic dictionary of music and musicians. Along with the German-language Die Musik in Geschichte und Gegenwart, it is one of the largest reference works on western music. Originally published under the title A Dictionary of Music and Musicians, and later as Grove’s Dictionary of Music and Musicians, it has gone through several editions since the 19th century and is widely used. In recent years it has been made available as an electronic resource called Grove Music Online, which is now an important part of Oxford Music Online.

Symphony No. 2 (Mahler)

Jovan Stosic January 14, 2020

Symphony No. 2 by Gustav Mahler, known as the Resurrection Symphony, was written between 1888 and 1894, and first performed in 1895. This symphony was one of Mahler’s most popular and successful works during his lifetime. It was his first major work that established his lifelong view of the beauty of afterlife and resurrection. In this large work, the composer further developed the creativity of “sound of the distance” and creating a “world of its own”, aspects already seen in his First Symphony. The work has a duration of eighty to ninety minutes and is conventionally labelled as being in the key of C minor; the New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians labels the work’s tonality as C minor–E♭ major. It was voted the fifth-greatest symphony of all time in a survey of conductors carried out by the BBC Music Magazine.

FDA Advise-ERR: Mefloquine-Not the same as Malarone! | Institute For Safe Medication Practices

Problem: The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and ISMP have received reports that describe errors associated with the wrong frequency of administration with mefloquine as well as wrong drug errors in which mefloquine was dispensed instead of the intended MALARONE (atovaquone/proguanil). Both mefloquine (previously marketed as LARIAM*) and Malarone are FDA approved for use in the treatment and prophylaxis of malaria, but they each have different dosing regimens (Table 1).

Alfredo Catalani

Alfredo Catalani (19 June 1854 – 7 August 1893) was an Italian operatic composer. He is best remembered for his operas Loreley (1890) and La Wally (1892). La Wally was composed to a libretto by Luigi Illica, and features Catalani’s most famous aria “Ebben? Ne andrò lontana.” This aria, sung by American soprano Wilhelmenia Fernandez, was at the heart of Jean-Jacques Beineix’s 1981[1] cult[2] movie Diva.

Moodle – Transitioning to HTTPS

Jovan Stosic January 11, 2020

On a basic Moodle site, it will be simple to set up https. Simply edit config.php and change http:// to https:// in $CFG->wwwroot.

However if you are using a proxy or load balancer, depending on your setup you may need to set $CFG->sslproxy to 1, and not use SSL on the Moodle server. Then the load balancer or proxy server can communicate directly to your Moodle site, but serve to the clients over SSL.
