Tarifs don't bring in revenue from the countries that they are imposed on; they are paid by importers and ultimately shoppers in the United States; that is, they are taxes.

I once had to deal with a complicated report in Word that had been "improved" by several editors using inconsistent indenting styles. It couldn't be fixed in Word by even Word experts. I extracted the plain text, added LaTeX markup and generated a perfect document.

Researchers from Amsterdam UMC and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU) have discovered that the persistent fatigue in patients with long-COVID has a biological cause, namely mitochondria in muscle cells that produce less energy than in healthy patients. The results of the study were published today in Nature Communications.

most renaissance and baroque works for plucked instruments (lutes, baroque guitars) were originally notated in tablature and such scores can certainly be found at IMSLP. If you think "guitar tabs" are a recent invention you're quite wrong.

You're speaking of the renaissance lute. The baroque lute was most often in an open D minor tuning for the top (fretted) strings: ADFADF.

>Bach wrote The Well-Tempered Clavier to show off how one well temperament system (no one knows which one) sounds okay in every major and minor key. The keys closer to C sound sweeter and more euphonious, while the more distant keys sound darker and edgier.

Fairly recent research has shown that Bach may have been very explicit in specifying a temperament system. A series of what appear to be decorative swirls at the top of the title page of the WTC has been conjectured to actually be instructions for tuning to the temperament system he favoured.

You'd better wake up sooner: "Static analysis with SL has matured to the point where it has been applied industrially in the Facebook Infer program analyzer, an open source tool used at Facebook, Mozilla, Spotify, Amazon Web Services, and other companies (www.fbinfer.com)."

I heard a delightful story about a student who submitted as his own composition a chorale harmonization by Bach that he'd found in an obscure place. He was surprised to receive a failing grade from the professor. When he went to ask why, the professor simply said that it was too good and he couldn't possibly have composed it.

Fossilized, not frozen.

The title suggests that it's the bomb-hunters that are unexploded. The title should refer to unexploded-bomb hunters; that is, the unexploded refers to bombs, not hunters.

Canadians are generally very satisfied with the quality and availability of healthcare in Canada. The issue in this case is not the quality of care but the possibility that the provincial government is suppressing testing that might reveal that a naturally-produced neurotoxin has contaminated bottom-feeding crustaceans such as lobster.
