Samuel Tirop (born 13 January 1959 in Nandi District) is a former Kenyan middle-distance runner who ran in the 800 metres.

Tirop's first major medal came at the 1986 Goodwill Games, where he was his country's sole medallist with his bronze in the 800 m. His career coincided with a period of Kenyan dominance in men's middle-distance running: Kenyans won all the major titles from 1987 to 1992 through runners such as Billy Konchellah and Paul Ereng. As a result, he frequently missed out on major competitions due to the high calibre of opposition at the national level.

He won at the East and Central African Championships in 1989 and in December he managed second at the 1989 Kenyan Trials for the Commonwealth Games, running a personal best of 1:44.3 minutes which ranked him eleventh in the world that year. Largely unknown outside of his home nation, he went on to upset both Nixon Kiprotich and Sebastian Coe to win the 800 m at the 1990 Commonwealth Games in Auckland. When asked how he had achieved such a feat at the age of 31 with little international experience, he responded that he was typically fourth or fifth at the Kenyan Championships behind World and Olympic champions for opposition.

When the trials for the 1992 Barcelona Olympics came, Tirop again missed out on selection. Renowned Kenyan running coach Brother Colm O'Connell remarked: "You had the Olympic champion, Ereng; the world champion, Konchellah, and the Commonwealth champion, Sammy Tirop, and none of them made the team. That's what running in Kenya is like."

AetherPal is a smart remote control that allows support staff to take control of any smartphone or pc anywhere in the world over an IP connection, as if the smartphone is in the hands of the support staff.  AetherPal software is targeted for mobile operators and enterprises to provide customer care, technical support and remote training.

On February 5, 2019, it was announced that AetherPal would be acquired by VMware.

Technology 

AetherPal's smart remote control is built on multi tiered client server architecture consisting of following major components; smart phone client requiring support, browser based console for remote control management and high performance scalable server.

AetherPal uses SSL and TLS encryption to create a secure connection between the client device and the support staff. Once the connection is made, the device screen is replicated on the support staff's monitor and full real-time device emulation occurs. Streaming techniques are optimized to send only delta updates from the client, hence allowing efficient use of bandwidth. On top of this, the support staff are able to fine-tune the image size, color scale of the replicated image if needed. The session may be recorded enabling the end user client to take away a video issue resolution guide, unique to that device.

AetherPal enables remote control of multi-platforms and multiple instances from a single web GUI. A support representative may be connected to a smart phone  such as Apple iPhone, Google Android, Nokia Symbian, RIM BlackBerry or Windows Mobile while also connected to a PC or Mac.

History 

On February 5, 2019 VMware announced its intent to purchase AetherPal.

The Silent League is an American post-rock, chamber pop band from Brooklyn, New York, founded by Justin Russo, formerly of Mercury Rev. Their 2004 debut, The Orchestra, Sadly, Has Refused, featuring Sam from Interpol, Grasshopper from the Rev and a cast of dozens, was released in the US on Chicago's File-13 label, and in the UK in late 2005, on Something In Construction.

Career 
The band's debut release led to quick success and sales, abetted by a number of high-profile shows with Interpol, Bloc Party, Echo & The Bunnymen, Keane, Brendan Benson, Rufus Wainwright, Sufjan Stevens. The newly boosted profile of such an orchestral band led to members being "borrowed" to collaborate on records by (and play on tours with) Beirut, Arcade Fire, Bishop Allen, Harlem Shakes, Stars Like Fleas, Antony & the Johnsons, Calexico.

Their follow-up album entitled Of Stars And Other Somebodies was released in 2007. Tracks include Victim of Aeroplane, Kings & Queens and Let It Roll. The band (now touring as a six-piece—a lither, synthier, explosive-er live band) embarked on their fourth UK tour, a 15+ date promo trip, performing across the UK and at festivals including Godiva (mainstage with Super Furry Animals, The Cribs, The Enemy ), Latitude Festival (with Arcade Fire, Jarvis Cocker, The National, and Final Fantasy), the DrownedInSound and Truck Festivals, as well as doing BBC radio sessions and much press. Late 2007 saw Japanese release on Rallye/Klee label (Au Revoir Simone, Yacht, Klaxons, Matt & Kim)

The band's third album But You've Always Been the Caretaker was released January 2010 on Something In Construction records. With producer, and band-member, Shannon Fields at the helm, the band spent time at various upstate farmhouse studios with recording and mixing engineer D. James Goodwin crafting somewhat of a stylistic departure from their previous albums.

In May 2011, The Silent League released a new remix album, We Go Forward, a collection of Silent League tracks remixed electronic artists. The compilation includes remixes by Neon Indian, Memory Tapes, ARMS, and also includes a live fan favourite – a cover of Broken Social Scene's "Texico Bitches".

Philip Pilkington is an Irish economist working in investment finance. He became well-known for his critiques of neoclassical economics on his blog Fixing the Economists. Since then he has written a book entitled The Reformation in Economics outlining these critiques, developed an empirical methodology to assess general equilibrium theory and created a new means to estimate both potential output and inflationary pressure in the labor market.

Life
Pilkington was born in Dublin. He attended C.B.C. Monkstown. Pilkington received his Masters in Economics from Kingston University. His thesis focused on a stock-flow approach to asset price modelling and was subsequently published by the Levy Economics Institute.

Works
In his article "The Miracle of General Equilibrium"  Pilkington argues that all of contemporary macroeconomics is dominated by general equilibrium theory. He argues that both the New Keynesian and New Classical schools take as their starting point the assumption that general equilibrium can and eventually will be reached. Pilkington argues that they disagree only on how easy this is to achieve. Pilkington then goes on to argue that this case has never been argued empirically. He points out that the theory emerges with the French economist Léon Walras in 1899 but that Walras never laid out clear empirical criteria for his theory. Pilkington proceeds to lay out a test case based on the 'hats-in-ring' problem in probability theory.

In his paper How Far Can We Push This Thing? Pilkington develops a novel framework for estimating and understanding potential output. Pilkington argues that contemporary approaches to potential output either involve crude trend estimates that simply assume that economies usually operate at full capacity or they utilize the flawed NAIRU framework that has been disproved in practice in the past. He advocates a more intuitive and statistically-grounded approach to estimating potential output. Pilkington points out that statistics on capacity utilization are readily available for most countries. He argues that "the true constraint on economic growth at any moment in time is the utilisation rate of plant and machine" and so we should simply estimate the sensitivity of GDP to capacity utilization and in doing so derive an estimate of potential output.

Hindú Club is an Argentine sports club based in the Don Torcuato district of Greater Buenos Aires. The institution is mostly known for its rugby union team, which currently competes in the Top 12, the first division of the Unión de Rugby de Buenos Aires (URBA) league system. Hindú has become one of the most successful rugby teams of Argentina, having won 22 titles since 1996 to present days.

Apart from rugby, the club hosts other sports such as field hockey, football, futsal, tennis, gymnastics, golf and swimming.

History
In the 1910s, pupils of the La Salle college met to form a theatre group, then known as "Hindustánicos". After graduation, alumni would meet again and founded in 1919 a social, cultural and sporting venture known as the Hindú Club.

Its first location was in Pedro Echagüe street and only basketball was played there. Later the club would purchase an 83 hectare plot in Don Torcuato and start playing other sports, including rugby union for which Hindú Club is most famous today.

Hindú Club started playing rugby in 1935. However, the club had to wait until 1996 to win both its first URBA and Nacional titles. Since then, Hindú has become a powerhouse of Argentine rugby, winning several provincial and national titles.

Famous players include Argentina internationals Hernán Senillosa, Gonzalo Quesada, Nicolás Fernández Miranda, Juan Fernández Miranda, Lucas Ostiglia, Juan Ignacio Gauthier and Horacio Agulla. Recent players like Joaquín "Tito" Diaz Bonilla, Sebastián "Erre" Cancelliere and Tomás Lavanini are also part of the generational "seeds" that came into the international picture after the previous big names mentioned above.
