By: LANCE REED
Sports Editor
The Sacred Heart Lady Trojans (7th-8th Grade Team) competed in the O.L.I. tournament in Jennings March 13th - 15th, 2008. In pool play the Lady Trojans fell short in their 2 pool games Thursday night. The first game was against Mamou with a score of 2-0, in favor of Mamou. The second game of the double header night was against OMP from Church Point, which ended with a score of 4-2 in favor of OMP. Bracket play began on Saturday.
The Lady Trojans managed to come back and go undefeated to take the first place title. The first game in bracket play was against the host of the tournament, O.L.I. The Lady trojans pulled off a 15-1 win. This advanced the Lady Trojans to another match with the Mamou Tigers. This time the Lady Trojans were ready and came away with the 7-6 victory. The win against Mamou advanced the Lady Trojans into the finals against Rayne Catholic. This proved to be a tough contest but the Lady Trojans came away victorious with a 2-1 victory, enough to take the championship.

Ludwig van Beethoven was born December 16, 1770 in Bonn, now Germany, then the capital of Cologne and part of the Holy Roman Empire. He was a brilliant pianist and one of the most famous and influential of all composers. He was considered a child prodigy and is said to have studied with Mozart and Hayden in Vienna.
Like all cultural workers of the time, even geniuses had to rely on the well-off nobility to be their patrons. But Beethoven's behavior was anything but sycophantic. One story has him walking with friends when a nobleman passes by. They all bow but he does not. When asked why, he intimated that noblemen were a dime a dozen but there was only one Beethoven!
At one time he was an admirer of Napoleon who rose to prominence during the latter years of the French Revolution. Beethoven's Third Symphony "Heroica" was dedicated to Napoleon. But when he declared himself emperor, bringing back the monarchy to France, Beethoven tore up his dedication page.
The famous opening to Beethoven's Fifth Symphony -- dah dah dah dum -- has had different interpretation over the years. Some said it was the sound of birds chirping that inspire him, others that it was fate knocking at the door.
Matthew Guerrieri has written a book about this symphony, called The First Four Notes: Beethoven's Fifth and the Human Imagination. Guerrieri writes about how Beethoven's piece resonated with everyone from revolutionaries to Romantics, and German nationalists to anti-German resistance fighters.
In an NPR interview, Guerrieri said: "The way I approach the Fifth Symphony's opening movement, is via the French Revolution, which Beethoven was very caught up in at the time, and the music associated with the French Revolution, and that particular hymn [of Claude Joseph] Rouget de Lisle, " who wrote La Marseillaise: "I will die, sword in hand, for the rights of man and for the glory of the revolution and the Republic.
Beethoven's 9th Symphony is considered by many to be his finest accomplishment, composed towards the end of his life when he was totally deaf. Its choral finale was the first time a major composer used voices in a symphony. Beethoven decided early on that he wanted to compose a musical setting for German poet Friedrich von Schiller's poem with its vision of the unity of all mankind, Ode an die Freude, Ode to Joy, ideals that Beethoven shared.
There have been several "flash mob" performances of the finale and it has often been performed at national and international peace rallies and conferences.
The works of Beethoven, including small ensemble pieces and piano sonatas as well as the symphonies, are performed and enjoyed worldwide and belong to all of us.

Can you define these popular missing words?
A pointless system implemented by parents restricting certain websites and any basic control to your own laptop. Also allows the"administrator" (your obsessive parents) to see every file on your computer unless you block permission.
Parental controls do not really understand what they're supposed to show and will block harmless images but allow you to google image search 'Naked' with no problems.

A very useless piece of shit that overprotective and over-controlling parents put on your computer because they're scared that you may put viruses on it, causing you to loose, in their own words, "very valuable information" that they don't want you to fuck up. You can't see hardly any innocent sites, like this one, or, for all you boys out there reading this, porn. Parental controls also have time limits that say when you can be on the computer to when you can't. But, if you're using Google Chrome, you can easily bypass the fact that you can't download anything. But, unfortunately, you can't go to the blocked websites or not have shitty ass time limits. :(
"If You Stop Going To Sites You're Not Supposed To Go To, MAYBE We Might Take Parental Controls Off. But It Also Depends If you're Being Minding And If You're Doing What You're Supposed To Do And Not Be On Shit You're Not Supposed To Be On." ----Your Evil Mom And Dad

Possibly the worst so called "reality" show that has ever been made. It is a show on MTV which shows a girl and her overprotective parents who hate her asshole boyfriend. The mom and dad each pick another boy for her to go on a date with and at the the end the girl has to choose who she will date: her current boyfriend or one of the new guys. This show is literally terrible and every episode is exactly the same. The acting is AWFUL and the show is supposed to be portrayed as real. I recommend that you watch this show at least once, and even though it is God awful, you will probably be hooked. It's so bad it's good.
Person 1 "yo did you see the new show parental control?"

Boxing fans finally get to see the fight they've been anticipating for awhile when Andre Ward and Arthur Abraham meet in Showtime's Super Six World Boxing Class semifinals match. The winner of tonight's match will face the winner of Carl Froch vs. Glen Johnson in a fight we hope will take place later this year.
Ward is a heavy favorite not only to win this fight against Abraham, but to win the entire tournament too. Some boxing fans, including myself, have even started to recognize him as a top 10 pound-for-pound boxer. While that may be a bit premature, nobody can deny his naturally gifted boxing ability. With a little more training and experience, the sky is the limit for the currently undefeated 27-year-old.
Throughout the day I'll be updating you with the latest boxing buzz surrounding this fight and sharing my predictions. If for whatever reason you will be unable to watch tonight's fights, I will also be updating you with the latest analysis and results as the match concludes.
If you're looking for more outstanding fight coverage, be sure to check out Bleacher Report's dedicated boxing page!

From Our Editor…
As I am sitting here putting this issue together, I am doing it with much thankfulness. I have truly enjoyed what we have managed to accomplish here, in less than a year. All of our entries have shown that they truly will not let living with a chronic illness, get in the way of their creativity.
I am inviting anyone here that lives with a chronic illness and wishes to showcase your talents, to do just that. You can feel free to contact me [email protected]
We have another great lineup this time, with something a little different. I think you are really going to enjoy.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours,
CJ Poetry Editor

Editor's Note: Kevin J. Barron
Kevin J. Barron has lived with RA and OA since 1999. He writes "bad" poetry in his spare time. His hobbies are reading and writing. Kevin describes how he came to write "Law and Order SVU":
"Do what pleases YOU, not that which fits in with what society dictates. I have met many people who firmly believe life is merely "Birth, school, work, death". That's a pessimistic oversimplification I know. I just believe in being me, not everyone else."

Law and Order SVU
Are you living the life you want to live
Or the one you that you think you're supposed to
Are you lead by your heart or your own head
Or the ideas that people feed you
Do you often look around at your surroundings
Wondering how did you get here
Remembering where you were headed before
You let someone or something else steer
Does it matter so much what others may think
Of your life and the choices you make
They're not the ones lying awake at night
Pondering a life that seems fake
You're not selfish or mean, you're more than giving
And thankful for all that you're given
But still you question who you are
And just whose life you are living
We believe in the tales of happily ever after
Of finding that perfect match
Your job, your mate, your family, whatever
All seem to come with a catch
That's just life, there's always a but
To get this you must give up that
Sometimes it gets so god damn hard
That you wish you could take off that hat
The hat that says what you are
At that precise moment in time
You're now out of space to store all those lids
And you feel you are long past your prime
Here's a newsflash, you're never too old
To plow through the trouble and strife
Just be certain that it's what you want
Before you go changing your life
There's always someone affected by
An idea that's totally new
It could be the person you least expect
That person could be you
Kevin J. Barron May 19, 2009
Stephanie Wood is an amateur photographer who tries not to let her poor health get in the way of her creativity. She bought her first DSLR in September of 2009 and has never not looked back since. Stephanie explains the essence of her entry:
"In Canada we recognise November 11 as Remembrance Day to acknowledge the sacrifices made by those who served in our military. This little battleship will be 95 years old this November. It was made in England to commemorate the surrender of the German fleet in November 1918. It's about 5 inches long and 2 inches tall. Goss was the main supplier of what is known as crested ware. This example is made by Wiltshaw and Robbins, a company that eventually became known as Carltonware. Crested ware was sold as a cheap souvenir item that would have bought while on holiday/vacation. They came in all kinds of shapes, most of which were some type of small vase. The quality was never very good and they were not made to be kept forever. I have looked for quite some time for a wartime version and was pleased to be able to pick this one up while was away in Calgary, Alberta.
A little bit more about me. Before the RA took hold of me and took me out of the workforce, I spent a little over 10 years as an antique dealer and certified appraiser. It was an exciting job and I saw many amazing pieces come through my shop and also at auctions and antique shows. It was hard not to collect everything I liked. In the end I picked a few things that I really enjoyed collecting and made sure the rest was sold in the store. Believe me it was really hard not to keep it all. I have a collection of military commemoratives that span from 1855 to 1983, with most of my pieces being from WWI and WWII."

Shawna Graves was diagnosed with RA in January of 2012. Here she describes what she has discovered on this journey:
"Shortly after being diagnosed with RA I found that I could no longer live in my upstairs apartment. I was lucky enough to find a home with a fantastic yard with lots of potential. My yard is a constant work in progress that has given me a reason to stay active. My rewards are the beautiful flowers and pictures I have since collected."
Red and White Work by Shawna Graves
I Wonder
I wonder what you think of me
When you see me all alone
Do you think that I'm pathetic
Or maybe just a snob
Or, I wonder, do you think of me at all
I wonder what you think of me
When I share my inner thoughts
Do you think that I'm a nescience
Or maybe I'm just lost
Or, I wonder, do you think of me at all
I wonder what you think of me
When my body starts to ache
Do you think that I'm imagining
Or maybe just a fake
Or, I wonder, do you think of me at all
I wonder what you think of me
When you look me up and down
Do you think that I'm disgusting
Or maybe just a slob
Or, I wonder, do you see me at all
Shawna Graves 2013
I have a special love for Golden Retrievers, always have, as I think they are so beautiful, and have really learned more about them, since being involved and interacting on the various Facebook pages. One in particular is Sugar. She is an eight-year old golden, who is battling lymphoma. She was rescued, when she was seven months old. She really has won my heart.
Here is the link to her Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sugar/473073226096884
I wrote a poem in honor of Sugar's recent birthday and wanted to share it with you.
Me and my gifts and balloons!!! BowWOW! courtesy of Sugar's Mom & Dad who rock!!
Sweet Golden Sugar
Sugar is a Golden,
who is too sweet.
Her wide-eyed smile,
just can't be beat!
She fights real hard,
each and every day.
For her family and friends,
there's just no other way.
So on your special day,
let there be no tears.
As we are all pulling for you,
to live for many years!

Ruschmeyer's: Montauk's Newest Camp-Inspired Lodging
Ruschmeyer's is brought to us by the same duo that gave us The Surf Lodge. Although this time around, the vibe is more summer camp over surf camp. The owners were inspired by the property's original function back when it was first built in the 1950s — you guessed it — a summer camp. Given that, it's no surprise you'll find nineteen cabins instead of one main building. Also on the grounds are hammocks, picnic tables, bicycles, a fire pit and even a teepee. There's a restaurant and bar as well, and judging by the photos, a pretty cool disco too. Ruschmeyer's was said to have opened Memorial Day weekend. If you happened to have spent the holiday there, let us know if it's worth the trip! Images: 1, 4, Jetsetter; 2, Curbed; 3, 5, Ruschmeyer's

Fascinating debate, if you're into the power of information agenda, over at Simon's site on the use of post codes and the availability of the register. I'm told that the licensing of the national postcode register is an 'old chestnut'. I'm going to spend some time trying to understand just why it can't be available for free or at marginal cost. Feel free to air your views in the comment section.
29 thoughts on "Postcodes"
Thanks Tom. I've worked with postcodes for years, and it's a real shame that the UK has one of the best systems for postal zoning, but the worst possible licensing regime.
The Post Office absolutely requires postal codes in order to make its sorting and delivery efficient. What's more, as it is the originator, noone else can create them. ie. it's a true natural monopoly with zero marginal cost.
The only reason we have to pay for them is that it suits the Post Office budget to exploit this monopoly – it would cost them nothing to simply upload the postcode file they use for their own purposes, and let businesses, charities and individuals use them to deliver innovative products and services, and better databases (from which, btw, the Post Office benefits).
In terms of your desires – may I plea for free. Free is magnitudes better than low cost for two reasons:
– it allows experimentation (I have an idea, but I need the data to test it. The cost of the data prevents me trying, so the idea never gets tested).
– it avoids transaction costs, legal costs, etc. The Post Office spends a fortune on sales people, administrators and lawyers to protect and exploit its data; and on the flip side potential users spend a fortune working out what they can and can't do within license. Even low cost products incur these fixed costs; plus the infrastructure for users to monitor their customers' usage and charge for it. These costs are totally eliminated when data is free.
The USPS allows you to download their ZIP code data in a whole bunch of formats – free – as well as providing it on CD Rom and via APIs. We should be embarrassed when we see how we hamper ourselves.
I would like to add my voice to the 'block to innovation' argument about the present licensing costs of the post code database – it is about £5,000 p.a. per server – and we are a Charity… We have paid in the past, but can not justify the cost any longer. Which is a pity, as the post code is is ubiquitous and well understood by users when they are looking to find advice services though one of your databases.
Not sure what your involvement with postocdes has been. I worked for many years on the Royal Mail Postocde team and would make the following points:
1. The postcode system is designed solely for the collection, sorting and delivery of mail. Postcodes are also used for other purposes e.g. by insurance companies to categorise risk, but they are not designed to be so used and may not be suitable.
2. The maintenance of postocdes is not a small task and is definitely not done at marginal cost. By definition, address information changes regularly and each change has a significant impact to Royal Mail systems and processes. There is also a significant impact on local authorities and local businesses and residents. This an ongoing and expensive process.
3. The postal address file (PAF) is a significant asset to Royal Mail and it's reasonable for them to exploit it (this government has encouraged Royal Mail to be more independent and commercial). There is a web site which allows anyone to interrogate for free the address file – http://postcode.royalmail.com/portal/rm/postcodefinder?catId=400145. Royal Mail feels this is more than enough for any domestic user. Business customers have to pay for greater access. So what?
4. Currently Royal Mail is 'owned' by the government; it's still a nationalised industry. In that case, I'm not sure why Tom needs to investigate anything. If the government wants the postcode file to be available free or at marginal cost they only have to say the word. They won't, of course, and Tom knows this.
There are some common misconceptions about postocdes, some of which I've tried to address here. The use (and mis-use) of this information is often blamed on Royal Mail but in my opinion they don't explain themselves enough.
Why should it be free? I guess the PO employ loads of people to keep the system going and so it's not unreasonable for it to charge especially commercial companies such as insurance and marketing ones who gain great value from the things. The argument that the PO has to produce them anyway and thus they should be free is dangerous. You could equally argue that they have to empty my local post box and will almost certainly be delivering other post to the people I send letters to and therefore I shouldn't have to pay to send my post. Or that the train I take to London would have to run anyway and therefore should be free for me to use…
You don't mean 'marginal cost' Tom, you utter moron – how did you get elected?
for the purpose of "find my nearest…" databases, it is possible to use free API based geocoders provided by the likes of Google/Yahoo (i.e. free = 50000 lookups a day), it will usually sucessfully resolve a postcode to 1000meters of the street.
This level of accuracy is suitable for this type of application. But overall, its a shame to have to use American companies to access UK data for free.
Maybe the postoffice is clocking on that with all this web 2.0 generation systems coming out nowadays, the concept of post won't be around forever.
Tom my be an utter… as you say and I certainly wonder how he got elected, but he did, I think. mean "marginal cost".
Marginal cost is the additional cost incurred in the activity, in this case the additional cost of making it available, being the cost over and above the cost they have as a fixed cost of maintaining it for their own purposes.
Right or wrong that is I think what Tom said and meant.
Mr J
Of course I agree ;]
I think the key element in Simon's argument is 'usable'.
postcodes are truly 'customer focussed'. I don't know if there's proof but it makes complete b****y sense to me that absolutely every citizen knows theirs.
Therefore a postcode based GIS is *by definition* 'customer centric'.
Give Simon a medal I say!
In response to Mitch's defence of the Royal Mail's charging for postcode data.
My own involvement with postcodes relates to various mashup websites, plotting local information onto Google Maps (or Yahoo Maps, or Microsoft Live Maps). There are several methods for plotting addresses onto these online maps, but they are either inaccurate or long-winded without the postcode coordinates.
1. Mitch states that postcodes may not be suitable for non-mail purposes. I would suggest that, by providing a geographic location accurate to within 20 addresses, postcodes are eminently suitable for all manner of location-specific services.
2. "By definition, address information changes regularly". Surely by definition, the vast majority of address information does *not* change regularly. I would happily use postcode data that was one or two years old, if only it was free.
3. "There is a web site which allows anyone to interrogate for free the address file… Business customers have to pay for greater access. So what?" So there are users – such as the charity mentioned by Tim above, other not-for-profits, and innumerable web applications – for whom interrogating the website is inadequate or inappropriate, but who cannot afford the very large costs that the Royal Mail attaches to the postcode file. (Some websites use advertising to help cover the costs of their hosting and bandwidth – perhaps this qualifies them as businesses, but the revenues are minimal, and would not cover the cost of the postcode data except in the case of the very largest, most popular websites).
4. I find it encouraging that a Cabinet Office Minister has mentioned this debate at all, if only on a blog. The 'Show Us a Better Way' competition announced this week asked "What would you create with public information?", and "Ever been frustrated that you can't find out something that ought to be easy to find?" Opening up the postcodes would allow these government datasets to be presented in a clear and obvious manner – NHS Choices 'Find services', ONS neighbourhood statistics, London Gazette notices, and others.
There may be misconceptions about postcodes, but what is certain is that each postcode has a corresponding coordinate (latitude and longitude), and that it would be both useful and proper if this data was in the public domain.
In response to Mitch.
My involvement with postcode data has been four-fold:
– I've run a direct mail data business, providing companies with data gathering, addressing and mailing services
– I've assisted charities in campaigning and targeting precious funds at recruiting potential donors through the post
– My parents run a micro-business which dispatches orders by post
– Both through work and independently, I've prepared various mashups
To your points:
1. Postcodes are designed solely for mail-related purposes:
– a: If I wish to mail anything, I should use a postcode. Note that if I'm a business or charity, I'll incur costs to get hold of the postcodes. Conversely, doing so actually saves the Royal Mail money (yes Mitch, I'm aware of Mailsort, etc for bulk mailers). ie. the Royal Mail charges me to use its monopoly data in order to save itself money in sorting and delivery. That does seem a little perverse.
– b: The data has some extremely useful purposes beyond that; for example, a local authority may use postcodes to group addresses for rubbish collection. If someone decides the data is fit for a purpose; great.
2. The maintenance may not be a small task – but its something the Royal Mail has to do anyway. ie. I'm not asking the Royal Mail to spend an extra penny to meet wider needs. I'm merely asking that once they've built the data to meet their own needs, they release it – complete with any disclaimers they feel necessary – so that others can use it. The mere act of not making it free means that the Royal Mail spends a lot of money on licensing, protection, enforcement, 'value adding' (in quotes because the Royal Mail is rarely the best organisation to add value to the data), selling, etc.
3. The issue with the Royal Mail treating PAF as an asset is that it's necessarily a monopoly production; if other people could produce competing PAFs then perhaps charging for it would be acceptable; but of course, postcodes only work because there's one definitive set. The payment for greater access by business is not acceptable for three reasons:
a. It favours large companies enormously – the fixed costs of setting up PAF access are prohibitive to small companies and start ups. You'll find many large businesses have websites which autocomplete your address from its postcode. Most smaller companies' websites don't. This is why. It's an instance of the ways in which the UK's bureaucracy makes it harder for small businesses to start and grow than is the case in the US./
b. The incurred costs can be very high. We had an instance of a client using postcode lookups, paying on a 'per lookup' basis. A small bug in the code meant that each lookup was being done multiple times; the mere act of looking up postcodes cost c. £1 per lookup, and the total cost was many thousands of pounds before it was fixed. Of course, bugfree code would have avoided that, but bugfree code isn't cheap either. Some sort of incidental costs always occur when data is not free – and the government's job should be to help reduce the cost of doing business, not increase it. After all, we're all customers or employees of businesses.
c. It's not just businesses – charities, local authorities and government departments spend a fortune on this stuff. Of course, it's just taxpayers money going round in circles – but the admin is not cheap.
4. Of course, you're right. The government could choose to free the data – but it's a useful stealth tax, which generates visible income rather than the much less visible but far greater benefits that freeing the data would provide. Tom's great for sticking his neck out and looking into this.
The points you make, Mitch, are unfortunately so reminisecent of the innovation-stifling opinions of inward-facing bureaucrats which have been such a major contributor to Britain's loss of economic advantage over the years. Examples which are now so clear include the fact that we invented public-key encryption long before the US, but kept it a government secret rather than using it to gain an edge in commerce; or that Frank Whittle invented the jet engine only to find that closed-minded bureaucrats couldn't see it working. Bureaucrats are rarely the best people to judge whether something has a place in propelling innovation and competitiveness. The fact that there's so much energy on my side of the postcodes debate says it all.
Mitch; you should be proud that you worked on a world-leading data source. It's just such a shame its wings are crippled by its owners.
It's been a fair while since I've commented here (hi Tom!), but I should note that I'm a web developer by trade, and I work primarily on e-commerce sites. Thus, I have a vested interest in this.
The PAF contains a lot of data… a lot of that data is useless to many people, but one particular aspect of it is very very useful to anybody who collects British addresses online: a complete address including a postcode. With that, forms can be made massively easier and less error-prone, which reduces the number of rejected transactions, which helps your business run smoothly. Bottom line: people are rubbish at entering their own addresses into sites.
So, I thought, there's been success in collaborative projects in the past; why don't I just ask people to anonymously submit their complete postal addresses to me? I don't care about who they are (unless they're a business, perhaps), but being able to have a database of all of the addresses with the postcode W12 7RJ which can be queried by anybody is immensely powerful and useful.
Except I can't do that, because even though I'd be collecting people's "own†addresses from them, I'd be breaching the PAF copyright.
(Of course, it would also take quite a long time before it was useful). Personally, and from speaking to others in the same industry as me, we could largely care less about the additional data in the PAF, because it's entirely specific to Royal Mail—the Post Code, on the other hand, is ubiquitous… and that, to me, tells me that it cannot be commercially-held in a modern society which wants to support business growth and development.
Far more useful would be access the the National Land and Property Gazetteer (NLPG) currently under the ownership of the Improvement and Development Agency (idea.gov.uk) and is compiled from contributions by local councils. This provides definitive addresses for the whole of the UK, even addressing addresses that don't have a postal address.
One benefit to this would be a massive saving of money for the Ordnance Survey who attempt to maintain a similar product.
http://www.npemap.org.uk is your friend for an imperfect, but very, very usable free postcode database.
Tom: you ask "why it can't be available for free or at marginal cost". (The disadvantages of "marginal cost" have been well-described above by Greg, so for simplicity I'll just use "free".)
The only argument for not making it available for free is that it would reduce the income of the Royal Mail. This is possibly true, although it's hard to quantify what effect freeing the data would have on use of the postal service. It certainly wouldn't be negative.
However, we shouldn't look at income, but profit. What greater percentage of sent items would have accurate postcodes on them (which reduces RM's costs) if the data were freely available? Again, hard to quantify, but a point worth considering.
But even above that, particularly as RM is owned by the government, we should not be looking at just the RM's profits, but everyone else's, and the general social good. Freeing the data reduces the costs of every business which uses it, and increases the capabilities of every business which currently isn't using it because it's too expensive but could if it were free. And that's before you add in the community groups, charities, and so on.
The UK is, unlike many countries, blessed with a comprehensive country-wide, well-used system for locating places down to a couple of hundred yards. It should be as widely used as possible.
NLPG should be included in this debate – Councils maintain it, and since it drives electoral registration (from later this year) and Council Tax collection, they're well motivated to get it complete. Its therefore likely to have more addresses than PAF.
However, it includes Postcodes, and RM therefore want their fees from anyone who wants to use it, and Ordnance Survey, who are producing a competing product "Address Layer 2" are also muddying the waters.
So, we have at least 3 publicly funded bodies (RM, OS, Local Government) producing address databases, exchanging money between themselves (as well as paying for sales, marketing, legal etc etc), and UK plc not being able to take full advantage of what's there.
Just how did this all happen? Can someone please call STOP to this madness?
Denis is correct. The selling of address information between organisations within this country is madness!
Local Authorities are charged for the use of the postcode in the NLPG – They are contractually obliged to purchase Ordnance Survey's Addresspoint (PAF geocoded). The vast majority do not want this information, not do they use it. They obtain postcodes directly from Royal Mail when they inform them of the addresses for new properties.
PAF is maintained largely (although indirectly) by local authorities through the submission of street naming and numbering information. This is at zero cost to Royal Mail.
Local Authorities (through the IDe&A) have been trying to provide a national electronic feed of this information to Royal Mail (and others), which could be exploited to remove a large amount of the cost in maintaining PAF. This idea is being strongly rejected by Royal Mail… why? Because it will mean that Royal Mail will no longer be able to claim the IPR in addresses.
Ordnance Survey argues that as a trading fund they are required to profit from selling data (including Addresspoint and Address Layer 2). The problem is that around 60% of the revenue generated by Ordnance Survey comes from public funded organisations. The other 40% is probably equal to the costs involved in selling the data.
It is similar with postcode data. Royal Mail spend huge amounts of money maintaining PAF, but much of this work is duplicated within Local Authorities, and much more is due to the inefficient way that Royal Mail's address development centre works.
Why should one public funded organisation, have to buy data from another public funded organisation? Especially as LA's provides data essential in the allocation of postcodes to Royal Mail free of charge! The only group that should be able to claim ownership of postcodes or addresses is the public, who to a large extent, have paid for the information to be collected in the first place!
The solution is so simple – Address information (including postcodes) is made free to all.
Pingback: The Royal Mail PAF, that old Chestnut…
Tom, Dennis, Steve,
I've elaborated on the NLPG and the 'Postcode Chestnut' with a blog post; I'd be really keen to hear any comment, especially the outcome of your research into the issue Tom.
All the best,
This debate really is getting some traction – the blog posts at Free Our Data and gisconsultancy.com are taking it further; and Tim Watts' take at TreeOfKnowledge moves it into the general area of allowing Ministers to get insights from interested or knowledgeable parties for free.
Reading through here and the external posts, I've learnt more about the way public authorities are tied in knots with each other, passing around data, money and ridculously complex licensing arrangements.
I wonder, Tom, if the last time the Treasury looked at this they looked at the total system cost of PAF licensing within the public sector alone? That is to say, my view is that the cost to the economy of PAF licensing far exceeds the Royal Mail's revenue. However, the Treasury will typically look at the narrow balance sheet for the Royal Mail (ie. if the RM receives £500m a year for licensing PAF, they want to keep that public sector income, however much more money could be made for UK PLC if it were opened up). Perhaps, though, the picture might be more conducive if the Treasury looked at the following calculation:
Revenue from PAF licensing
minus Amount paid by public sector organisations for access to PAF
minus Costs incurred by public sector organisations in legal and transactional costs
minus Opportunity costs incurred by public sector in not using PAF data as widely as they would if it were free
minus Amount spent by public sector on other sources of postcode data (QAS, Experian, etc)
minus Costs to RM in preparing, maintaining, marketing and negotiating licenses
May be time for a FOI request.
The PAF is PSI and covered by SI 1515 of 5 July 2005 which transposed the EU Directive on Re-use of Public Sector Information, 2003.
The legislation allows charging for making PSI available for re-use provided that the price is the same for all re-users and is no greater than marginal cost. The cost of PAF for RM's public task – roughly equivalent to its statutory duty to deliver a univesal postal service – must be incurred and covers the maintenance of the file.
The marginal cost of re-use of the PAF, given that it has to be complete, accurate and up to date to support the public task, is almost zero. If anybody in the public or private sector gets it for free, then all re-users are entitled to get it free. If it is already on line, the marginal cost of searching and retrieving all, part or individual items increases with the server power needed to cope with the demand. If it is distributed on CD, there are costs for the media, postage and handling: say a few pounds.
The counter-argument to this analysis goes as follows:
The counter-argument to this analysis goes as follows:
RM is not a public body within the meaning of the Directive.
Even if it is, its public task includes selling the PAF to maximise its revenues or profits.
It is not obliged to increase its costs to lower the marginal costs for re-users.
The re-use regulations allow it to withdraw PAF as a service to outside organistions completely, leaving customers to find postcodes some other way as they do for e-mail and fax numbers, for example. (There are independent businesses which publish directories.)
ARDN signing off.
Given that Local Authorities are statutorily the creators of a house name/number and street name and that Royal Mail (RM) simply add the postcode to speed up their sorting, a valid address actually consists of the name/number, street and town. Note that this does not include the post-town, which often does not match the geographic town and can be very confusing.
RM have done a good job of selling the postcode as a requirement for your "official" address, assisted by companies which refuse anything without a postcode as they use PAF to determine address validity. However RM will deliver mail without a postcode (it just takes longer and presumably costs them more).
Imagine then if enough people refused to use postcodes on mail and let RM pick up the cost of the extra sorting. I think this would quickly eat into the revenues from the PAF file and make the free release of the data more attractive.
Emergency Services also use the PAF data and currently in Wales PAF overwrite supplied primary Welsh addresses with English which causes no end of problems. Free the data please TOM
Hi When postcodes were first brought out I and others were led to believe you would then only need a name a house number and the postcode to send mail, it has never been like that. Why not?
Our local area post code HD2 is according to the insurance companies and reflected in our insurance premiums, – in the top 20 list of worst post codes for crime in the UK – and I would not argue this. Yet on its perimeter HD2 also contains the Birkby-Edgerton Conservation Area with some of the best surviving examples of Victorian/Edwardian/Art deco and Art Nouveau properties in the UK. As this also adjoins HD1 and HD3 postal areas, it should not be difficult for the Conservation area to be 'exchanged' into another adjoining area, particularly as post codes are not used to assist local delivery of mail. So who do I contact to solicit some negotiation? Gordon Brown/ Sir Humphrey Appleby ? A chap called Crozier who with help from the unions is Beeching-like intent on closing RM down. Actually it has been effectively 'down' for many years in certain parts of London.

I like them but i feel like the sizes run kinda small. If you're a woman and you want these because ADIDAS DOESNT MAKE ANY WOMEN'S COOL THINGS BESIDES RUNNING, don't get a small. Apparently men are actually smaller than i thought ... read more
I've had these for 3 years, and I've never had the problems that I had with other knee pads. I had the black/gray ones and was really disappointed to see that they only have White knee pads of these now. I'm always diving on the court and if I buy white oned they wouldn'te last long white. Would totally buy again. ... read more
Nice comfortable fitted pants especially for walking/jogging. I purchased these a little over 2 months and have noticed a rip in between my thighs where the pant seam has separated. A little too late for a return. Disappointed. ... read more
Like is an understatement when referring to the techfit base tights I just purchased. Why? Because when I eased into the smoot fabric my techfit tights, which left me feeling as if I had eased into my second skin. It's for this reason why I would have to say I love everything about my techfit tights. ... read more
Love these TechFit fitted shirts. This is my fourth one. Lightweight and the fit is great for training. Not baggy and not too tight. Material is super smooth and comfortable. And you can't beat Adidas's prices for their gear. Other big name companies don't have any better quality and charge way more. ... read more
I bought large compression tights last time, but that was 20lb ago. Got a medium since my waist shrunk and now wish I got a large. I like the compression and the fit, but I would recommend a large if you have a 36" waist or larger. Good quality and doesn't feel stick at all. I'll get another pair of eventually and will report if they fit any better or worse. I'm 5'8", 195# with a 36" waist, FYI. ... read more
first of all the sleeve greatly helps me while running,although It already has a great fit ,in my opinion it would be better if it was a little bit tighter but dosent really affect me.I have pain in my calf after running and these help me recover faster.overall I would buy these again and would recommend them for first time users. ... read more
I own a few older models of the Techfit bras, and they work very well for me. I run in them, workout at the gym, and wear them during yoga. I use the medium size and medium strength bra. The older ones are a bit looser than this one, but it fits well enough. I think it will loosen a little with regular wear. Also, the chest seam is a bit higher than the older ones. As a size reference, my normal bras are 32DD. ... read more
I purchased two of these bras in August 2015 and LOVE them, but since then they redesigned the bra. Now the band isn't tight enough, and the breast area doesn't provide enough give, so I feel completely smashed without enough support under the bust. ... read more
Overall I like the shirt. Only wish it wouldn't ride up when I run. I have the base tights too and the shirt always rides up so I have to constantly pull it back down during a run. A thin strip of clear rubber around the bottom might solve the problem! ... read more
highly recommended it to everyone. I purchased a XL but it kinda tight for me then i decided to going up to XXL and then the XXL is perfect fit, comfortable except for the back length of the shrit is slightly short so i dont know it suppose to be like that or what but whatever. ... read more
I bought the techfit base tee in size small color black. The size small fits true to size. The sleeve length runs slightly past my elbow. The fabric is light weight and offers compression. I washed this shirt several times and the color did not fade. I recommend hang drying. Overall, this shirt is well made with exceptional fabric and designed to offer a performance and flattering fit. ... read more
The heather, grey-ish color pictured is not this color at all - it is lime green as the small, greyed out description says. And dear customer service, just own the fact this is a mistake rather than saying the website photo may be slightly different than what arrives. Thank you. ... read more
I am a soccer player so due to cold I stopped playing in the morning. My girlfriend is also a runner and she always go out everyday no matter what. So she got me these. Perfect fit, light, and prevents muscle injuries. For me it is a great gift. ... read more
As a marathon runner, I train 6 days a week so my sports bras have to stand up to a lot of wear. I'm small-chested, so it is hard to find a product that does not chafe underneath my breasts and along the sides. I've worn this bra for about a week of training and am happy to report that is provides both support and comfort without restricting movement. And the best part of all is no chafing! I'll be buying more of this style. ... read more
I bought this product right before my start of the year basketball tournament and arrived the day before. This is a great product for players like me who dive for the ball and play tough at the post. It wasn't heavy or restricting, but I do recommend going a size up so you don't have trouble pulling them up. Only thing that could've been better was the durability. When I dove once the padded part wasn't entirely on my knee so the floor caught the side of it and tore a small hole by the pad. Overall would recommend this to any physical player! ... read more
These calf sleeves cured my shin splints! My muscles have never recovered so fast. I use these during track and field, and nothing compares to how they look and function. There's ventilation is the front so heat can escape. Another great adidas product. ... read more
I bought two of these. They were my first compression calf sleeves. Personally, I think they could have been tighter. I got size S to make sure that they're extra snug. But I wear some crew socks pulled up over my calves under them for extra tightness. ... read more
I tried this on in a store and the medium fit me perfectly, but I needed white and they didn't have it in my size, so I ordered it on line. The fit is acceptable, but a little tight, it cuts into my shoulders a bit. ... read more
I usually wear a 34 B and got a medium, a perfect fit. I don't like padding in my sports bras and tend to go for compression, so this is great if you're like me. Even on the hottest florida days or longest runs, this keeps me cool. ... read more
I've only given this product 2 stars because the moisture wicking feature isn't really benefiting the bra and here's why: The interior of the cups are lined with a mesh, then a pad, and then the third and final layer is your moisture wicking material. I've read that this mesh is "breathable." If that's what you're after - great! My goal with the purchase was not to aerate but instead, to take the sweat away from my body. The "gap" between the two cups is also made of the mesh. Again, this did not take the sweat away from that area. The racerback portion of the bra (the back) is also made of mesh. The sweat hung around there as we'll. Lastly, the area that did have moisture wicking material with skin contact was the band at the bottom. For the front, I initially thought this would be a nice place to remove sweat from. But then I realized that the first layer (closest to my body) was the moisture wicking fabric, the second the elastic band, and the third another layer of moisture wicking fabric. The effect was that the first layer absorbed sweat, but the fabric was unable to evaporate the sweat because the elastic band was trapping the moisture in there. That being said, the bra was very comfortable and kept everything in it's place. No chafing. Although counterproductive to moisture wicking, I appreciated the pads while cooling off after my workout so that the gym wasn't privy to my headlights. If you want a comfortable bra, you've found it! If you want one to help keep moisture away from that area, I highly recommend going to a sports shop and looking at the construction of a bra before looking for it online. Lesson learned. ... read more
This bra is very comfortable to move in. It fits a tiny bit loose and, for me, that makes for a more comfortable workout (I am mostly running and doing yoga). The cut for the arms is a bit wider than some so i am not getting the tightness or chafing that sometimes happens there for me. It's a great bra and I'm glad I purchased it! ... read more
These knee pads stay in place even after playing 3 straight games in a hot gym no tugging and repositioning after every trip down the court. Worn other brands that do not match up with these, only wish they came in Navy! ... read more
I bought a Large, I am 34C it gave me great support, I could jump in it and the support felt as strong as my maximum support. Only thing is I wear a 1X or 2X in tops so it was a little tight to pass my hands and get in it but once I did it was great. ... read more

The comment that leadership is a journey is far more than a simple cliché; with research revealing that the best leaders see themselves as learners, focusing on five fundamentals in order to deliver continuous and continuing improvement.
When you are constantly asked by a member of your work team for details on how to perform a task, it's very easy to keep telling them again and again how to do it—or worse, doing it for them.

When it comes to visible team performance we in the UK have seen some amazing examples in recent times.
Today's managers talk a lot about wanting employees to be more accountable and to act on their own initiative. And yet, those same managers turn around and say to employees: "I have to give you assignments; I have to give you feedback; I have to hold you accountable." This leaves employees, much like children, left to take feedback, to take assignments and to passively wait to be held accountable.

Via Anne Leong
Given the powerful influence of positive and negative emotions on our unconscious, it is tempting to argue that leaders should never trust their gut: they should make decisions based solely on objective, logical analysis. But this advice overlooks the fact that we can't get away from the influence of our gut instincts. They influence the way we frame a situation. They influence the options we choose to analyze. They cause us to consult some people and pay less attention to others. They encourage us to collect more data in one area but not in another. They influence the amount of time and effort we put into decisions. In other words, they infiltrate our decision making even when we are trying to be analytical and rational.

ASUS Maximus 4 Extreme Review
3D Mark
Published: 3rd January 2011 | Source: ASUS | Price: £300 tbc |
3D Mark Vantage
For 3D Mark we always run our tests at 4GHz so we'll be skipping the stock Rampage III and Maximus III testing. This gives us our first big shock as the extra 200MHz of the overclocked Maximus IV Extreme over the Rampage III, and 600MHz over the Maximus III, not only make no difference, but can't even bring the 3D Mark score on a par with the more mature systems.
All tests were done with a single reference GTX570 in a PCIe x16 slot so the 2000 point drop is very hard to explain. Let's see if this keeps up through the other gaming tests.
3D Mark 11
Despite the modern and taxing nature of the latest in the Futuremark stable the P67 is still unable to keep up with its brethren. Although the scores are much closer due to the difference way results are calculated in 3D Mark 11, the gap is still as large as it was above.
For a system that spanks certain CPU tests so hard this is quite a surprise to say the least.

Will you do an update or anything when they release a more stable BIOS?
Possibly, depends if they have taken the board back by then.
You should add static values to each bar to make it easier to compare between them. There are so many graphs associated with reviews such as yours, would be nice to be able to move more quickly through them.
And especially in cases like the wprime95 in your new LGA 1155 review where the 1024M values are so high they stretch the scale, leaving almost no resolution for displaying the 1M results. So you have to hover the mouse over each of them.
Also just post them as pictures, the animations don't really add anything to it and pictures will probably load faster. But most importantly you gain compatibility with non flash compatible mobile devices.
I mostly read review and do research when commuting and being out of the house. Most other sites work for that, but yours.
Other than that, thanks for a great site. I appreciate the amount of detail you out into your work.
Looking forward to see how far you can get the i7-2600K on boards like the new UD7 from Gigabyte. I don't really trust the Digi+ VRM and UEFI bios yet. Quote

Republican Senators: It's About Immunity
The dangerous and unconstitutional FISA bill coming up before the House Friday appears to have support, with Speaker Pelosi describing it as a "balanced bill".
The bill is far from balanced when it comes to immunity for telecoms, as the bill was written to guarantee dismissal -- a fact the Speaker's Republican colleagues are quite up front about:
House Minority Whip Roy Blunt, R-Mo., and Sen. Christopher Bond, R-Mo., said the only result that could occur from a court review of the lawsuits against the companies would be that plaintiffs would be prevented from pursuing the cases. ... "The lawsuits will be dismissed, and we feel comfortable that the standard of evidence that the law requires will be easily met," Blunt said.
In addition to targeting EFF's lawsuit, these two Missouri legislators would also be throwing the State of Missouri out of court. The Missouri Public Utilities Commission was seeking information to determine if the telecoms violated the privacy of Missouri customers. It appears that protecting the pocketbooks of telecom companies was more important to Blunt and Bond than the privacy of their constituents.
The House is set to vote on the bill on Friday -- take action now!

The Sony Xperia Z1 mini is no stranger to leaks at this point. Another
image leak has surfaced and this time we see the alleged Xperia Z1 mini
sitting alongside the company's latest flagship, the Xperia Z1. While both the Xperia Z1
and the Xperia Z1 mini look very similar in design, there is a major
difference in the size.
The images come by way of the Chinese forum,
Digi-wo that notes some
of the specifications of the alleged Xperia mini Z1 which have been
already leaked. The site also notes that the Sony Xperia Z1 mini can be
launched at the CES 2014. The company unveiled the Xperia Z at CES 2013.
However, the Japanese major has not yet revealed its plan for the smaller-sized version of its flagship smartphone.
the Sony Xperia Z1 mini's purported leaked image had also appeared
on Chinese forum, Digi-Wo. The image revealed the front panel with
Sony branding on top beneath the earpiece. The design of the leaked
front panel of the alleged Xperia Z1 mini was visibly different from the
Xperia smartphones launched until now. The phone appeared to have a
rectangular body with no curved edges. The leak did not include any
details about the internals of the device; however, previous rumours did
reveal some specifications.
The Sony Xperia Z1 mini is rumoured to come with a 4.3-inch Triluminos 720p display, a 2.3GHz quad-core
Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, 2GB of RAM and 16GB of built-in
storage. The Z1 mini is also said to sport a 2400mAh battery, as well as
support for a microSD card.
Interestingly, the Xperia Z1 mini is
expected to ship with the same 20.7-megapixel camera as the Xperia Z1,
one of the recently unveiled flagship's major highlights.

A new website called "Did APD Kill Someone Today?" is keeping a close eye on Albuquerque police.
It's not clear who created it. The website focuses on the recent police shootings, and keeps track of how long it's been since the last one.
The website also has links to the federal investigation into the department and urges people to contact the police oversight commission.
