ination of thinking, "I will never kiss someone, I will never
get to have sex" and, at the same time, the utter certainty that
one day you will get married and have kids. That point in life when the
ideas of ever meeting someone and never
meeting someone are equidistant impossibilities. That desire, oh that
desire. Moaning into your diary, "I will never have a boyfriend!" and
half you hope it's actually true. Planning a future that includes a wife,
a vague amorphous form, part of the same vision that includes becoming
a rock star, or a football player. The vague confidence that it will all
work out, coupled with the total lack of knowing of how to make this happen.

Xander Bogaerts and Will Middlebrooks homered for Boston, while Allen Webster was tagged for all five runs on 11 hits over 5 2/3 frames.There is general increase on demand for research to be useful. This is more pronounced in the European funding than in traditional academic research. This paper problematizes and discusses the ways critical research can respond to these demands. The tendency is towards both specific calls driven by policy goals; and more diverse demands to formulate and communicate relevant knowledge to various stakeholders. There is a tension between unfettered critical research and the urgent contemporary quest for instrumental knowledge that needs to be respected; but also bridged. The positive dimension of EU:s call for research to be useful is accepting the need to share arguments; to stimulate dialogue; but the goal is not to produce consent but rather to trigger further investigation and disclosure of hitherto unknown or unobserved realms of culture.
How does the Performing Arts impact our world? By Mr. Graeme Spencer, NAE Regional Lead for Performing Arts, South East Asia.
“Moody’s announcement last night just confirms what the dogs on the street already know: Ireland will default. It is now time for the government to stop the pretense that everything is ok and remove its head from the sand. The ‘troika’ – our new rulers – are here this week to pass down their policy decrees. The government, if it had any neck, would refuse to implement these diktats of hospital closures, Special Needs Assistant cuts and attacks on the lowest paid workers.
“Many people are asking: What about democracy? What about letting the speculators take their losses? Why should I pay?
“But grumbling does nothing. Only action can show them our opposition. So let’s have Limerick truly “Stand Up and Fight”. Say no to the IMF Dictatorship. Demand real democracy, jobs and decent services. However the IMF diktats are affecting you, whatever your issue, bring your placard and join the resistance.
“Instead of pouring billions more down the black-hole of interest repayments, while savaging the living standards of working people, we must now refuse to pay the debts to the banks and super-rich speculators. Instead, the wealth and assets of the super-rich in Ireland must be targeted through progressive taxation and corporation tax should be raised to close the gap between public expenditure and revenue. Key natural resources like Corrib gas must be brought into democratic public ownership together with the key sectors of the economy to enable a truly democratic plan to be put in place to get people back to work, redevelop the economy and put the interests of the millions before those of the millionaires.
LayoutAwarePage is a pretty cool add-on to Windows 8 apps, which facilitates greatly the implementation of orientation-aware (portrait, landscape) as well as state-aware (snapped, filled, fullscreen) apps. It has however a few issues that are obvious when you use transformed elements on your page.

import { Tooltip } from '@material-ui/core';
import styled from '@emotion/styled';

const MyTooltip = styled(Tooltip)`
    // style the tooltip label
`

I tried using the global Mui classes etc. but did not succeed.
I know that an option is to use createMuiTheme and use <ThemeProvider> to apply it, but then the default theme is also applied to the children of the Tooltip component.

A: The difficulty with styling Tooltip in this manner is that Tooltip doesn't support a className prop (which is what the styled function injects) -- the className prop would simply be forwarded on to the element wrapped by the tooltip.
The solution is to intercept the props passed by styled and leverage the classes prop of Tooltip as shown below:
import React from "react";
import { StylesProvider } from "@material-ui/core/styles";

import Tooltip from "@material-ui/core/Tooltip";
import styled from "@emotion/styled";

const StyledTooltip = styled(({ className,...other }) => (
  <Tooltip classes={{ tooltip: className }} {...other} />
))`
  font-size: 2em;
  color: blue;
  background-color: yellow;

export default function App() {
  return (
    <StylesProvider injectFirst>
      <StyledTooltip title="Test tooltip">
        <span>Hover over me</span>
      </StyledTooltip>
    </StylesProvider>
  );
}

And now news has surfaced of another intriguing bit of activity in Boston with one of the stars of the original Ghostbusters arriving to reportedly film a cameo in the movie. But we didn’t want to spoil it since it hasn’t been quite as widespread as Dan Aykroyd announcing his cameo on Facebook. Find out more about the Ghostbusters cameo after the jump, but don’t read any further if you don’t want to know who is involved!
ComingSoon.net has gotten ahold of some photos that show Bill Murray arriving in Boston on August 6th, and then reportedly heading to the set of the Ghostbusters reboot to shoot a cameo on August 7th. THR has also confirmed that he will be appearing in the movie as well, so this is a sure thing.
Remember that this new Ghostbusters has no ties to the original franchise as far as the narrative is concerned. Therefore when we see Dan Aykroyd and Bill Murray in the movie, it won’t be as Ray Stantz or Peter Venkman, but each of them will likely have some kind of amusing exchange with Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon or Leslie Jones.
And of course there’s Sigourney Weaver, Rick Moranis and Annie Potts who could make an appearance too. But there would come a point when having every key cast member from the movie making a cameo would be a little excessive, so if it’s just the actual Ghostbusters popping up here and there, then that’s perfectly fine.
Otherwise, Bill Murray was being the Bill Murray we all know and love when he made a stop in Martha’s Vineyard, telling some kids how to have the best time in the area, by swimming every day and eating lots of ice cream. If you want to see Murray chomping down on some ice cream and chatting with local kids, check out the brief story at the Boston Globe. Otherwise, stay tuned to see what else we learn about the Ghostbusters reboot.
Are you happy to hear about Bill Murray making a cameo in Ghostbusters?
I’m not going to lie, I stocked up for last night’s debate.
The first Presidential debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden was so utterly, excruciatingly bad that I wanted to gouge my eyes out, stick hot pokers in my ears and never speak to anyone again. Essentially, it made me want to deliberately emulate that famous Japanese proverb through self-mutilation.
So I had a crate of beers and some hard liquor ready, just in case I needed to block out the reality that one of these two men was going to be the leader of the free world in around 3 weeks’ time.
But last night’s debate was different. Better, I think. But different.
For a start, the new debating rules introduced a “mute” button, which the new moderator, Kristen Welker
