Interlake-Eastern RHA Awarding Tuition Bursaries to Eligible Health Care Students
The application deadline for Interlake-Eastern Regional Health Authority's Grow Your Own bursary is June 30, 2018. Designed to assist in the recruitment and retention of health care professionals, the RHA will cover to a maximum $2,550 per academic year to full time students who are pursuing a career in a health care profession.
In order to apply for bursary funding, the applicant must have completed two years of a program that is four or more years long. Applicants must be interested in working for Interlake-Eastern RHA after graduation as the provision of a bursary is conditional upon a return of service agreement with employment based in Interlake-Eastern RHA. Students may apply for the bursary a maximum of two times.
It's a program that has benefitted both students and the RHA according to Brianna Demchuk, human resources manager for Interlake-Eastern RHA.
"We currently have 19 students fulfilling their return of service agreements with us. Of seven who have recently completed their return of service, five are still working for us. We call this bursary Grow Your Own because it helps us identify and support students who are ultimately seeking to secure a position as a health care professional within our region," Demchuk said.
Nursing students typically represent the majority of bursaries awarded but other health care professionals in training, such as pharmacists and physiotherapists, are encouraged to apply as well.
More information and an application form are available at www.ierha.ca under "Careers" and "Education Funding".
Questions can be directed towards Kerri Simcoe, human resources generalist, at email@example.com or 204.785.4786.

Initially, I wasn't sure if this piece really fit me and my space. I don't know why but I misunderstood the differences between acrylic and canvas with acrylic paint but overall, I love it. Once it was on my wall- it really spoke to me and my personal reasons for picking this piece. I'm very satisfied. Extremely happy with this purchase. It flows with my other art which are very masculine and reflect some of the more controversial people in Black History. Thank you!

David Moore, a Mt. Airy native who recently accepted the position of president of the Friends of Lovett Memorial Library – a position he previously held for two terms along with chairing the library's Centennial Anniversary in 1985 – said one of his goals is to transition the organization into the digital age and recruit new and younger leadership.
Moore brings a wealth of experience to the position, including having been past president and former executive director of the Mt. Airy Business Association and a former president of West Mt. Airy Neighbors.
"I had no intention of ever being involved in something like this," said Moore, who currently works at the Philadelphia Print Shop in Chestnut Hill as an assistant to the partners.
He said after not being involved for 16 years, he is attempting to get "up to speed," on issues facing not only the branch – Lovett Memorial Library – but the entire Free Library of Philadelphia.
Moore said he believed that the mission of "a friends association for a branch of a public library system was twofold: to assist the professional and non-professional staff of the branch" and "to advocate for the system to governmental and non-governmental organizations as well as advocate for the branch within that system."
One way Moore hopes to achieve this is by creating a Web presence and utilizing social media such as Facebook to allow customers to be actively involved and engaged in "shaping Lovett's 21st-century vision."
He wants, however, to continue to honor and celebrate the library's rich history. A recently "found" plaque was one originally placed in the library in 1900 to commemorate Charlotte Lovett Bostwick, the Mt. Airy resident who donated the grounds for the library and its park, paid for constructing the original library building (now the meeting room), and established the library's endowment fund.
Moore said the plaque was lost for more than a half century and was recently returned to Lovett. Thanks to Friends of Lovett , it is undergoing conservation.
Friends of Lovett will hold a rededication ceremony at 7:30 p.m. Monday, June 3, to celebrate the return of the historic plaque. Moore invited the community to come learn about the history of the plaque and its unique journey back to Lovett. He encouraged residents to come learn about the woman whose generosity helped to make Lovett Library a vital component of Mt. Airy for more than 125 years.
Moore said that after remembering the library's rich heritage, the community is invited on June 10 to voice its opinions about the future of Lovett Memorial Library.
"The Free Library of Philadelphia is looking to see how they can adapt the entire system to the 21st Century," Moore said. "Lovett Memorial Library is one of the pilots in the program."
Siobhan Reardon, president and director of the Free Library; Jim Keller, architect; Lynn Ruthrauff, branch manager, and several elected officials will be at the meeting.
"These events are an opportunity for the community to celebrate our heritage and collaborate in our libraries' future," Moore said.
For more information about these events email David Moore at email@example.com or call Lovett Memorial Library at 215-685-2095.

Band of Leaders club raises money for after-school program
Band of Leaders, a Liberty University student-run club that seeks to strengthen its members' leadership skills through Christian principles, recently raised $1,200 to benefit The Center in downtown Lynchburg. The Center is an after-school ministry sponsored by All Nations Community Church and provides mentoring and tutoring for elementary to middle-school-aged children.
Treandous Cuthbertson, a sophomore government major who is the founder and president of Band of Leaders, said The Center was in need of funds to pay for snacks and for gas to transport children from their schools and homes to the facility. The club had been searching for an organization to assist in the community and after visiting The Center, he said, members decided it was a perfect fit for their mission.
"When we went down and toured The Center, the students were learning, they were interactive, they were playing games, they had after-school tutoring … the facility was beautiful and it looked like a place where we could really draw into their lives," Cuthbertson said.
Club members raised money by asking every student who entered Liberty's Reber-Thomas Dining Hall for a $1 donation each day for a week. After the fundraiser, Band of Leaders hosted a cookout at The Center on April 16, drawing a crowd of about 150 children, parents, volunteers and staff. Liberty students provided musical entertainment. The next day the club attended All Nations Community Church and presented them with a check. State Sen. Steve Newman and state Delegate Scott Garrett were also in attendance.
Cuthbertson said he is proud of the club for meeting its fundraising goal in one week.
"It was our faith mixed with our actions, and of course our actions could only account for so much, but I believe we made up for it in faith. God is good," Cuthbertson said.
Band of Leaders was founded in August 2010 and currently has about 35 members. The club is planning more fundraisers for several organizations throughout the next school year.

Spanish newspaper Marca has made a strong statement in defence of its claim that senior Real Madrid players presented club president Florentino Perez with an ultimatum demanding the removal of coach Jose Mourinho.
On Thursday, Perez called a press conference at which he angrily denied the initial Marca story, and later the two players named by the newspaper - club captains Iker Casillas and Sergio Ramos - issued a statement to reject the report. They claimed the newspaper's account of their lunch with Perez was "entirely false" and stated their support for Mourinho.
Perez had claimed that the lunch was only to discuss player bonuses, but Marca has responded with a front-page story standing by their report, stating in their headline: "MARCA does not lie."
The story stated: "The information published in this paper on Thursday regarding the dinner held last Tuesday at ACS headquarters between Florentino Perez, Jose Angel Sanchez and the Real Madrid captains Iker Casillas and Sergio Ramos is absolutely true, point for point."
The story was accompanied by a photograph of a text message from Marca's unnamed source - who they state is a player - reiterating that the conversation touched on several matters, including Mourinho.
"We spoke about everything. General matters, the dressing room, the manager, bonuses and the like," the text message said.
Marca had claimed that Casillas and Ramos warned Perez that several players would seek transfers if Mourinho continued as coach into another season.
To support that, Marca published fragments of a further text message which read: "It's not just (.), I'm telling you, there are many others."
After Real won the Primera Division at a canter last season, Mourinho has come under scrutiny this term after presiding over an indifferent run of results that has left the club trailing league leaders Barcelona by 15 points.
Reports of infighting between the outspoken coach, his playing staff and several club directors have never been far from the surface, while the former Chelsea and Inter Milan boss courted controversy recently by dropping captain Casillas from successive league games.

Difference between revisions of "How to haggle"
Revision as of 07:37, 4 August 2008
This article is a travel topic
But when bargaining, do so responsibly.
And finally a trick that has been tested in Egypt and it has proven to work well: usually their first offer for the price is at least five times, but it can be ten or even a hundred times bigger than a reasonable price. First decide what you are actually willing to pay. Let us say that in this example it is 20LE. If you ask for the price, you may get a reply "120LE". Now you offer 22LE. You may then be offered something like 110LE. Then instead of going up, you start going down with the price, your new offer will be only 20LE (your predefined price limit). If the bargaining continues you continue dropping your offer. Pretty soon he will understand where the bargaining is going and you get a comfortable price or - at least - you get rid of the vendor.

The accounting market for retail is surprisingly complex for such a straightforward application. The primary reason for the complexity is due to vendor saturation among both vertically oriented software vendors and horizontally oriented accounting vendors.
Companies approaching the market from both angles have developed a large number of programs for every type and size of business, creating a complex and confusing market for buyers. This guide should help buyers understand how best to approach the retail accounting market and identify the right vendors for their needs.
Here's what we'll cover:
What Is Retail Accounting Software?
Deployment Strategies
What Type of Buyer Are You?
Benefits, Potential Issues and Costs
Market Trends to Understand
The Vendor Landscape
"How much money is this business making?" is a difficult question to answer for a surprising number of retailers. This is especially true for the 64 percent of single-store retailers operating without a point of sale (POS) system in place.
If you're operating or working in a retail business that's not taking advantage of affordable, intuitive retail software, ask yourself why? Between QuickBooks and retail POS systems, there's tons of easy-to-use software options to automate if not at least qualm the pains of retail accounting tasks.
On the most basic level, retail accounting software offers the following features:
Track payables and receivables—manage outgoing payments for vendors and other operating costs (i.e bills, rent) and incoming payments such as credited purchases.
Inventory management—monitor the current value of inventory on hand, accounting for immediate and long-term depreciation of assets.
Reporting and analytics—determine product margins and monitor sales performance at various levels, including product, employee, location, date and time.
The primary goal of this accounting software is to centralize all accounting-related data in one system and provide owners with accurate figures. On one hand, this is an absolute necessity from a legal/tax auditing standpoint. And on the other hand, it's a baseline business practice to help even the score between your store(s) and the competition. By truly knowing key metrics, businesses can make data-driven decisions to improve inventory and customer retention and increase sales.
Retailers will have two primary choices when implementing a retail accounting system for their store:
Standalone accounting program like QuickBooks to tie into your point of sale system.
Accounting capabilities, such as sales reporting and analytics, that are enabled by/included within a POS system.
The decision will be based primarily on the size of the business and the extensiveness of the company's needs.
You will want to focus on programs that are designed for the buyer category you fall into. We have found that almost all businesses belong in one of the following three categories:
Small buyers. Most retailers with fewer than five locations will fall into this category. However, if a retailer operates one or a handful of large stores, they may be in one of the other two categories. These small buyers have straightforward accounting needs. They typically require an affordable option that can integrate with their POS system.
Enterprise best-of-breed buyers. These larger retailers have already made substantial investments in point of sale and inventory control systems. They typically do not want to replace these existing systems and are looking for a standalone accounting program. Integration, flexibility and scalability are usually key requirements. These buyers typically have more than five locations or a smaller number of large stores.
Enterprise integrated suite buyers. Contrary to the best-of-breed buyers, these buyers are looking for one system that offers fully integrated applications for point of sale, inventory control and accounting. They may also opt for modules for warehouse management, merchandise planning or multi-channel management. Many of these buying decisions will be dictated by POS and inventory control needs since accounting functionality typically does not vary much from system to system.
The benefits of implementing a formal accounting system are fairly straightforward but surprisingly difficult to attain without a proper system. Most adopters should expect the following benefits:
Organization and efficiency. If you have ever tried to prepare a tax return without a formal accounting system or process in place, you know how much more organized a program will make your business. Having all of your data managed in one place saves a surprising amount of time when trying to determine performance of the business.
Automated reporting. Most accounting programs come with a number of standard reports, as well as the ability to build custom reports if necessary. Buyers should find it very beneficial to make key decisions quickly without having to spend a lot of time manually pulling together information.
When selecting a system, buyers should ensure that the system will integrate with their existing POS or inventory control software. Many buyers will find that simply exporting sales data into a .CSV file and then uploading it to the accounting package is sufficient. Bigger buyers with more data will likely require true integration though.
Buyers should note that there is a large price difference between smaller packages such as QuickBooks or Peachtree and larger tools like Microsoft Dynamics GP. As a result, most buyers will stick with a small program until the business has grown large or complex enough to justify the investment.
Various software trends are impacting the retail accounting software market. The primary trends include the following:
ERP vendors as retail vendors. Software companies such as SAP, Microsoft Dynamics and Epicor have traditionally offered horizontal accounting or enterprise resource planning (ERP) programs. Users of these packages for accounting would use a separate system for operations. Over time, these providers have developed extensive functionality to enable retailers to use them for point of sale, inventory control, warehouse management and accounting.
Software as a Service (SaaS). Many accounting programs have transitioned to SaaS. We typically encourage buyers to consider this model with an open mind as SaaS accounting solutions can ease the IT burden and help them avoid large upfront costs.
Buyers should find the retail accounting software market much more navigable when approaching it with their buyer category in mind.

It's a good day for math blogging. Gil Kalai, guest blogging for Terence Tao, explains the weak -net conjecture for convex sets (and can I say that I'm very jealous of the impeccable LateX typesetting on wordpress.com). Leo Kontorovich presents an interesting example of the breakdown of discrete intuition from the Steele book on the Cauchy-(Bunyakovsky)-Schwarz inequality. Andy Drucker talks about why convexity arises naturally when thinking about multi-objective optimization.

In honor of St. Patrick's Day Foodies on the Fly traveled to Boca Raton to try out the Guinness Cupcake at Saquella Café. Saquella is a trendy little café located in Royal Palm Place with modern décor and gorgeous chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. The Italian bistro serves breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as a selection of home made desserts and coffee.
Our main purpose of the trip was to try out the cupcake, but of course we sampled lunch too! We'll post the lunch review soon!
The Guinness Cupcake can be described as a grown-up version of the Hostess Cake, Chocolate cake with a hint of Guinness and frosted with cream cheese frosting. There is a dollop of frosting in the center and a layer of chocolate on top. The home made creation was served on a modern white plate, drizzled with syrup and chocolate and looked extremely tasty. We could not wait to sink our forks into it!
The Verdict:
This cupcake was even better than imagined! The cake was super moist and had just the right amount of stout. It was light and fluffy, chocolaty but not overpowering and overall delicious! The frosting was also very good. It was not to sweet or heavy and it perfectly complemented the dessert. If you are a fan of chocolate, Guinness or both you have to try this cupcake. And since it is St. Patrick's Day, you have a valid excuse to head over to Saquella now to pick one up!
Need a coffee pick me up? Try their Caramel Latte. Delicious and sweet the perfect companion for dessert!

The majority of Americans no longer view retirement as a time to kick back and relax, new research shows.
Continue Reading Below
A study from CareerBuilder revealed that 60% of workers over the age of 60 plan to look for new jobs after retiring from their current companies, up from 57% a year ago.
While some employees over 60 plan to work only a few more years, many expect to stay employed into their 70s. The research found that 15% of workers in their 60s think it will be at least 7 more years before they can fully walk away, while more than 10% don't think they'll ever be able to retire.
Brent Rasmussen, president of CareerBuilder North America, said that while most mature employees are putting off retirement largely due to financial concerns, some are making the choice willingly because they love working. In either case, older workers need to communicate clearly with their companies, he said.
The majority of workers who have talked with their bosses about staying on past retirement found their companies to be open to retaining them," Rasmussen said. "If you're approaching retirement age, but hope to continue working, an open line of communication is very important."
Older employees interested in working past retirement age will likely find a receptive job market. The study shows that employers are looking to hire more seasoned staff, with 48 percent of businesses planning to hire workers ages 50-plus this year. In addition, more than three-quarters of the companies surveyed are willing to consider applications from overqualified workers who are 50-plus, with 59% of employers believing mature candidates bring a wealth of knowledge to an organization and can mentor others.
CareerBuilder offers mature workers several tips for finding success in their job search, including:
Highlight experience: When updating a resume or interviewing for a job, candidates should think of their experience in terms of both work-related and life skills. Whether it's strong leadership skills or a wherewithal to weather a tough economy, mature workers should use their ages to their advantage and play up the strengths that come with having more years under their belts.
Stay current: Workers of all ages are going back to school to increase their marketability. Attending seminars and workshops or taking formal courses is a great way for older workers to keep their skills up to date, which can come in handy during an interview.
Find new ways to benefit the company: Those looking to stay with their current companies beyond retirement should come up with new ways to contribute to the organization outside of their day-to-day tasks. For example, some mature workers have reinvented themselves within their organizations by running mentorship programs or training new hires.
Network: Being in the workforce for an extended time gives mature workers the advantage of a broad professional network. Whether it's offline or online, they should reach out to former colleagues, vendors, clients, etc. to see where opportunities may arise.
Part-Time: More than half of workers ages 60-plus said they will most likely work part-time once retired. To find the right fit, these workers should check out job boards, staffing firms and other resources for part-time, freelance or temporary work.
The study was based on surveys of more than 680 U.S. workers ages 60 and older and more than 2,600 hiring managers and human resources professionals.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – MIT finished in sixth place following a 1-3 performance at the Tufts University Invitational held this past weekend. The Engineers (12-11) swept Polytechnic University (25-15, 25-14, 25-17) before falling to Colby-Sawyer College (25-23, 25-17, 25-22), Elmhurst College (18-25, 25-23, 23-25, 25-15, 15-12), and the host Jumbos (15-25, 25-22, 24-26, 25-22, 17-15). Alex May represented the Cardinal and Gray on the All-Tournament Team.
In two sets, May tallied six kills, four aces, and three digs versus Polytechnic. Barden Cleeland posted five kills, a .333 hitting performance, and three blocks while Jenny Li recorded five kills and a .455 hitting percentage. Lindsay Hunting collected seven digs, followed by six from Katrina Ellison as Kelly Schulte bolstered the defense with two blocks in one set. Cathy Melnikow and Natasha Jensen each registered five aces while Melnikow dished out 18 assists. As a team, MIT racked up 22 aces, falling one short of tying the Institute record.
May notched a team-high 13 kills and 10 digs against Colby-Sawyer. Cleeland picked up eight kills and two blocks while Li totaled seven kills and two blocks. Ellison contributed six digs and five kills as Schulte posted four kills in one set. Hunting collected nine digs and two aces while Melnikow distributed 32 assists.
Li and Cecily Joujon-Roche both tallied seven kills and four blocks while Li added eight digs in the Engineers' match with Elmhurst. May registered 17 digs, 16 kills, and two aces as Ellison notched 14 digs and six kills. Hunting recorded 13 digs and five aces while Jensen contributed 11 digs. Melnikow finished with 41 assists, 12 digs, and three aces as Schulte added nine kills.
May tied the Institute record for kills in a match with 33 against regionally-ranked No. 1 Tufts. She also had a .475 hitting percentage, 20 digs, and two blocks. Cleeland posted 14 kills, a .444 hitting percentage, and two blocks while Li contributed 14 kills. Melnikow amassed 56 assists, 22 digs, and three blocks as Hunting collected 19 digs. Joujon-Roche notched six blocks and four aces while Ellison recorded seven digs and four blocks.

Anyone who ever monitored or analyzed an application uses or has used averages. They are simple to understand and calculate. We tend to ignore just how wrong the picture is that averages paint of the world. To emphasis the point let me give you a real-world example outside of the performance space that I read recently in a newspaper.
The article was explaining that the average salary in a certain region in Europe was 1900 Euro's (to be clear this would be quite good in that region!). However when looking closer they found out that the majority, namely 9 out of 10 people, only earned around 1000 Euros and one would earn 10.000 (I over simplified this of course, but you get the idea). If you do the math you will see that the average of this is indeed 1900, but we can all agree that this does not represent the "average" salary as we would use the word in day to day live. So now let's apply this thinking to application performance.
The Average Response Time
The average response time is by far the most commonly used metric in application performance management. We assume that this represents a "normal" transaction, however this would only be true if the response time is always the same (all transaction run at equal speed) or the response time distribution is roughly bell curved.
A Bell curve represents the "normal" distribution of response times in which the average and the median are the same. It rarely ever occurs in real applications
In a Bell Curve the average (mean) and median are the same. In other words observed performance would represent the majority (half or more than half) of the transactions.
In reality most applications have few very heavy outliers; a statistician would say that the curve has a long tail. A long tail does not imply many slow transactions, but few that are magnitudes slower than the norm.
This is a typical Response Time Distribution with few but heavy outliers - it has a long tail. The average here is dragged to the right by the long tail.
We recognize that the average no longer represents the bulk of the transactions but can be a lot higher than the median.
You can now argue that this is not a problem as long as the average doesn't look better than the median. I would disagree, but let's look at another real-world scenario experienced by many of our customers:
This is another typical Response Time Distribution. Here we have quite a few very fast transactions that drag the average to the left of the actual median
In this case a considerable percentage of transactions are very, very fast (10-20 percent), while the bulk of transactions are several times slower. The median would still tell us the true story, but the average all of a sudden looks a lot faster than most of our transactions actually are. This is very typical in search engines or when caches are involved - some transactions are very fast, but the bulk are normal. Another reason for this scenario are failed transactions, more specifically transactions that failed fast. Many real-world applications have a failure rate of 1-10 percent (due to user errors or validation errors). These failed transactions are often magnitudes faster than the real ones and consequently distorted an average.
Of course performance analysts are not stupid and regularly try to compensate with higher frequency charts (compensating by looking at smaller aggregates visually) and by taking in minimum and maximum observed response times. However we can often only do this if we know the application very well, those unfamiliar with the application might easily misinterpret the charts. Because of the depth and type of knowledge required for this, it's difficult to communicate your analysis to other people - think how many arguments between IT teams have been caused by this. And that's before we even begin to think about communicating with business stakeholders!
A better metric by far are percentiles, because they allow us to understand the distribution. But before we look at percentiles, let's take a look a key feature in every production monitoring solution: Automatic Baselining and Alerting.
Automatic Baselining and Alerting
In real-world environments, performance gets attention when it is poor and has a negative impact on the business and users. But how can we identify performance issues quickly to prevent negative effects? We cannot alert on every slow transaction, since there are always some. In addition, most operations teams have to maintain a large number of applications and are not familiar with all of them, so manually setting thresholds can be inaccurate, quite painful and time-consuming.
The industry has come up with a solution called Automatic Baselining. Baselining calculates out the "normal" performance and only alerts us when an application slows down or produces more errors than usual. Most approaches rely on averages and standard deviations.
Without going into statistical details, this approach again assumes that the response times are distributed over a bell curve:
The Standard Deviation represents 33% of all transactions with the mean as the middle. 2xStandard Deviation represents 66% and thus the majority, everything outside could be considered an outlier. However most real world scenarios are not bell curved...
Typically, transactions that are outside two times standard deviation are treated as slow and captured for analysis. An alert is raised if the average moves significantly. In a bell curve this would account for the slowest 16.5 percent (and you can of course adjust that); however; if the response time distribution does not represent a bell curve, it becomes inaccurate. We either end up with a lot of false positives (transactions that are a lot slower than the average but when looking at the curve lie within the norm) or we miss a lot of problems (false negatives). In addition if the curve is not a bell curve, then the average can differ a lot from the median; applying a standard deviation to such an average can lead to quite a different result than you would expect. To work around this problem these algorithms have many tunable variables and a lot of "hacks" for specific use cases.
Why I Love Percentiles
A percentile tells me which part of the curve I am looking at and how many transactions are represented by that metric. To visualize this look at the following chart:
This chart shows the 50th and 90th percentile along with the average of the same transaction. It shows that the average is influenced far mor heavily by the 90th, thus by outliers and not by the bulk of the transactions
The green line represents the average. As you can see it is very volatile. The other two lines represent the 50th and 90th percentile. As we can see the 50th percentile (or median) is rather stable but has a couple of jumps. These jumps represent real performance degradation for the majority (50%) of the transactions. The 90th percentile (this is the start of the "tail") is a lot more volatile, which means that the outliers slowness depends on data or user behavior. What's important here is that the average is heavily influenced (dragged) by the 90th percentile, the tail, rather than the bulk of the transactions.
If the 50th percentile (median) of a response time is 500ms that means that 50% of my transactions are either as fast or faster than 500ms. If the 90th percentile of the same transaction is at 1000ms it means that 90% are as fast or faster and only 10% are slower. The average in this case could either be lower than 500ms (on a heavy front curve), a lot higher (long tail) or somewhere in between. A percentile gives me a much better sense of my real world performance, because it shows me a slice of my response time curve.
For exactly that reason percentiles are perfect for automatic baselining. If the 50th percentile moves from 500ms to 600ms I know that 50% of my transactions suffered a 20% performance degradation. You need to react to that.
In many cases we see that the 75th or 90th percentile does not change at all in such a scenario. This means the slow transactions didn't get any slower, only the normal ones did. Depending on how long your tail is the average might not have moved at all in such a scenario.!
In other cases we see the 98th percentile degrading from 1s to 1.5 seconds while the 95th is stable at 900ms. This means that your application as a whole is stable, but a few outliers got worse, nothing to worry about immediately. Percentile-based alerts do not suffer from false positives, are a lot less volatile and don't miss any important performance degradations! Consequently a baselining approach that uses percentiles does not require a lot of tuning variables to work effectively.
The screenshot below shows the Median (50th Percentile) for a particular transaction jumping from about 50ms to about 500ms and triggering an alert as it is significantly above the calculated baseline (green line). The chart labeled "Slow Response Time" on the other hand shows the 90th percentile for the same transaction. These "outliers" also show an increase in response time but not significant enough to trigger an alert.
Here we see an automatic baselining dashboard with a violation at the 50th percentile. The violation is quite clear, at the same time the 90th percentile (right upper chart) does not violate. Because the outliers are so much slower than the bulk of the transaction an average would have been influenced by them and would not have have reacted quite as dramatically as the 50th percentile. We might have missed this clear violation!
How Can We Use Percentiles for Tuning?
Percentiles are also great for tuning, and giving your optimizations a particular goal. Let's say that something within my application is too slow in general and I need to make it faster. In this case I want to focus on bringing down the 90th percentile. This would ensure sure that the overall response time of the application goes down. In other cases I have unacceptably long outliers I want to focus on bringing down response time for transactions beyond the 98th or 99th percentile (only outliers). We see a lot of applications that have perfectly acceptable performance for the 90th percentile, with the 98th percentile being magnitudes worse.
In throughput oriented applications on the other hand I would want to make the majority of my transactions very fast, while accepting that an optimization makes a few outliers slower. I might therefore make sure that the 75th percentile goes down while trying to keep the 90th percentile stable or not getting a lot worse.
I could not make the same kind of observations with averages, minimum and maximum, but with percentiles they are very easy indeed.
Averages are ineffective because they are too simplistic and one-dimensional. Percentiles are a really great and easy way of understanding the real performance characteristics of your application. They also provide a great basis for automatic baselining, behavioral learning and optimizing your application with a proper focus. In short, percentiles are great!

The Phillies have just announced the men who will be working with Amaro in the front office.
GM Amaro makes front-office moves
Looper takes on Arbuckle's responsibilities; LaMar promoted
By Ken Mandel / MLB.com
Okay, gentlemen, time to start working on a repeat champion.
PHILADELPHIA — Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. replaced departed assistant GM Mike Arbuckle on Friday, naming Benny Looper as assistant general manager, player personnel.
Looper will assume Arbuckle's responsibilities in the scouting and player development realm, and will be assisted by Chuck LaMar, who has been promoted to assistant GM, player development and scouting.
Amaro said Friday that he plans to interview candidates for an assistant general manager — essentially to replace himself — in the next few weeks. He said he has "about four or five candidates," and that the position will be filled from outside the organization.
Looper, the uncle of free-agent pitcher Braden Looper, will oversee player personnel in his role as assistant GM. He worked closely with Pat Gillick during their years together with the Mariners.
The 60-year-old had spent the previous 23 years with Seattle in many capacities at the Major and Minor League levels, including most recently as vice president of player personnel (2006-08), VP of player development and scouting (2003-06) and VP of player development (2002-03).
LaMar will manage the player development department, working closely with Minor League director Steve Noworyta and scouting director Marti Wolever, and will also cross-check at the amateur and professional levels. The 52-year-old joined the Phillies in October 2007 and spent the past season as the director of professional scouting. Before joining the Phillies, LaMar spent a year with the Washington Nationals as special assistant to GM Jim Bowden and 10 years as the GM of the Tampa Bay Rays (1995-2006).
Dallas Green (senior advisor to the GM), Charley Kerfeld (special assistant to the GM), Gordon Lakey (director, Major League scouting), Noworyta (director, Minor League operations) and Wolever (director, scouting) are all staying with the organization in their current positions. Gillick is also remaining with the club in an advisory role. (H/T Phillies.com)
Okay, guys, here's the deal, work to get this team to repeat as a World Champ and you'll get the fans to love you forever after. Do not mess this up too badly like management has done in the past.
