# Alfred Piesse

Alfred Napoleon Piesse (17 July 1866 – 15 June 1939) was an Australian politician who served as a member of the Legislative Assembly of Western Australia from 1911 to 1924, representing the seat of Toodyay. He joined the Country Party upon its formation in 1914, and served as state deputy leader from 1915 to 1921, initially under Francis Willmott and then under Tom Harrison.

## Early life

Piesse was born in Guildford, Western Australia, to Elizabeth Ellen (née Oxley) and William Roper Piesse. Three of his brothers, Arnold, Charles, and Frederick Piesse, were also members of parliament. After leaving school, Piesse initially worked as a post office messenger, and then joined the Telegraph Department. As a telegraphist, he worked in various remote locations in Western Australia, including Esperance, Eucla (on the border with South Australia), Bremer Bay, and Israelite Bay. Piesse left the Telegraph Department and moved to Toodyay in 1894, working variously as a court clerk, magistrate, and tax collector. He was elected to the Toodyay Road Board in 1907, and served as its chairman from 1907 to 1912.

## Politics and later life

Piesse entered parliament at the 1911 state election, defeating the sitting Speaker of the Legislative Assembly, Timothy Quinlan, in the seat of Toodyay. Elected as a member of Liberal Party, he joined the Country Party upon its formation in 1914, and became one of its first members in parliament. In March 1915, Piesse was elected deputy leader of the party, at the same time as Francis Willmott was elected leader. He remained deputy leader under Tom Harrison, who replaced Willmott in July 1919, but in May 1921 was replaced by Alec Thomson, instead becoming party whip.
The Country Party split into two rival factions in 1923, with Piesse joining the Ministerial faction (comprising supporters of the coalition with the Nationalist Party). However, at the 1924 state election, he was defeated by John Lindsay, a member of the opposing Executive faction of the party. A few months after his defeat in Toodyay, Piesse stood for election to the Legislative Council, but was again defeated, losing to Hector Stewart in South-East Province.
He eventually retired to Kendenup, a small town in the Great Southern. He died there in June 1939, aged 72. A nephew, Harold, was also a member of parliament in Western Australia and a second nephew, Edmund Piesse was a Senator for Western Australia.

# Deanery (NHS)

An NHS deanery is a regional organisation responsible for postgraduate medical and dental training, within the structure of the National Health Service (NHS) in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. In 2013, restructuring of the NHS in England led to its deaneries being incorporated into new bodies, known as Local Education and Training Boards (LETBs), that have taken over these functions.

## Role

Each deanery is responsible for coordinating postgraduate medical and dental education within a given region, to standards that are set by the General Medical Council and the General Dental Council. Deaneries are each advised by a Specialty Training Committee (STC), which includes consultants.
Postgraduate medical education begins as doctors start their initial Foundation Programme (F1/F2) jobs, where they are closely supervised and their progress is monitored across two years of training. The recruitment of doctors into Speciality Training Programmes is managed by deaneries. Once a doctor accepts a post on a training programme the deanery allocates specific jobs, arranges educational supervision and provides the assessment of whether the doctors in training have demonstrated sufficient progress.

## Criticisms

Deaneries have been criticised in the past for not providing accurate and detailed information to applicants who have no alternative methods of finding employment within the UK, in particular for failing reliably to tell applicants exactly when and where jobs will start, what hours will be, and what their salary will be. The BMA have observed "It's hard to imagine another profession where you could start salaried employment without knowing how much you'll be paid in six months' time. That's been the reality for junior doctors for years, but it may be about to change."
As of June 2008, the Employment Agency Standards Inspectorate have ruled that deaneries should be legally classified as employment agencies, which calls into question the legality of existing recruitment processes. This has led Remedy UK to call for junior doctors, who are currently employed on a series of short-term contracts, to be given a single unified contract covering the whole process.

## EU applicants

Recent changes in UK legislation mean that deaneries must give preference to applicants from the UK or the European Union. This is likely over the medium term to change the make-up of the hospital registrar workforce, in which over recent years candidates from developing countries in Asia and Africa have been strongly represented.
# The Western Outlook

The Western Outlook was an African American newspaper that was published from 1894-1928. The creators and editors behind the paper were Joseph S. Francis, J. Lincoln Derrick, W.G Maddox, Jesse E.

# Performance effects

Strategy researchers want to understand differences in firm performance. Studies show that three effects account for most performance differences, such as differences between Toyota’s cars business and Samsung’s mobile phones business.

## Levels of analysis

Performance effects occur at multiple level of analysis.
The performance ($p_{ict}$) of a business in industry $i$, corporation $c$, and year $t$ can be written as:

### Other

Other performance effects include the chief executive officer and geographical region or country.

### Effect sizes

An effect size is a measure of the magnitude of performance differences.
A common measure is the variance. A finding of 36% for business effects means that the variance in business effects is 36% of the total variance in performance. Conversely, the variance in performance is for about one third related to differences between business with the other two-thirds related to other effects (e.g. different industries, different corporations, different year, and random differences). An upside of the variance measure is that the effects sum to 100%. A downside is that the variance uses squared distances so that large effects are amplified and small effects are shrunk.
Another measure is standard deviation, which is the square root of variance. An upside of this measure is that the standard deviation relates to linear distances so effects are not similarly amplified or shrunk. For example, business effects are greater than year effects by about factor 45 when using variance and by about only factor 8 when using standard deviation. Relatedly, the standard deviation measure has the same unit of measurement as performance. For example, if performance is in dollars, then the standard deviation is also in dollars (the variance would be in dollars squared). A downside is that the effects measured in standard deviations do not sum to 100%.
An alternative measure is the sum of squares measure. It seeks to attribute squared performance difference to the different effects. Because the sum of squares measure does not account for degrees of freedom, it is sensitive to sample dimensions. For example, sampling more businesses in the same number of industries will change the ratio of sum of squares due to industry and sum of squares due to business.
