How Postal Systems Work



In Modern days the mail system is run by national and private organizations which are connected interconnected by international organizations, regulations and agreements. Nowadays paper letter can be sent to any part of the world easily and cheaply. Though the internet has made communications much more faster and organizations prefer to use electronic mail there has be an increase in the amount of mails sent. In 2001 there was an increase in the amount of mails sent in the US.

                   

The world wide postal system is organized and run by the national postal systems and it is co-ordinated by the Universal Postal Union. They define the international postage rates and the standards for postage stamps. In most countries for an effective postal service ZIP Codes are used which is term mostly used in the US in other countries various names like Postal Code or postcodes are used. These codes are implemented to smoothen the automation procedure.

                            

Another system used in mail postal service is the Bar Coding System , this has a black vertical bars on the postal cover in a 2 dimensional manner usually called as a post net coding. This bar codes allows to encode various details such as proof of payment and exact contact details.

In the 20th century the ordinary mail service was upgraded by using planes which made it faster modes of transport. The world’s first airmail service was in United Kingdom from London to suburbs for Hendon. Receipts system was also placed to ensure the sender the confirmation of the letter being received. Mails sent through naval systems are called Fleet post office and to army or air force is called Army post office or Air Force Post.



There are two kinds of paying for the postal service one is Prepaid and the other one is postpaid, this is normally done by the receiver of the post. The common method of prepaid postal service is adhesive postal stamps and other method is called Franking, Where postage prepaid envelopes are created .These digital franks can be printed on the envelope via the internet. Since the advent of internet the ordinary postal mail is also called as Snail Mail.

Brookefields Mall - Coimbatore


Shopping  in coimbatore has really become enjoyable experience  as it has the city's first and largest mall today in total a Western outlook.Its Infrastructure was made well but strongly feel that the  maintenance works are not to the required standards. If proper attention and work is done in this area, its going to attract lot of people staying in and around Coimbatore. Its good to go on a late afternoon time on weekends as its too crowded in the evening as most of the young teenagers and college students flock the corridors and hallways.



                                       
Since its a first of its kind and huge  for the city it is  for sure a place to hang out with friends and colleagues.Thecinema, by sathyam a six screen multiplex cinema theatre has given a new meaning of watching movie at theaters, amazing experience.The nice way of living and enjoying the film is "on" at Coimbatore atlast. At the same time, we would like to give some tips to the film goers, it would be better if you  go, half an hour in advance for the show, since, only three lifts are operated. The seating is not upto the expectation. Elders will have "back pain" there is no push back facility.The counters for the tickets at the cinemas are well maintained and good seating is available at  the counters.

Watching DLF IPL 2012 in Stadium


Watching DLF IPL in a stadium is a whole new experience.The adrenaline in the stadium is so high that you wouldn't imagine unless you have the experience.I wonder how the players in the middle would communicate with each other with the amount of noise generated in the stadium during the matches,i guess that's one of the reason that there are so many run outs in this season of IPL - 2012.

People who come to watch the match are well prepared in their attire,hoardings and other stuff to suit the atmosphere and the environment.There could be a whole lot of fun in the open slots where the crowd goes into frenzy mood.Some good and new stadiums have the Mexican wave going around,normally this is not seen in IPL .Some of the key moments of the match would be missed if you are in the stadium since you don't have the perfect view which we get in the comfort of our homes,but still its a worth an experience.

This years IPl 2012 we have seen a boost in the amount of people in the matches.Last year there we could see many parts of the stadium were left empty,maybe IPl managing committee has come up with some plans to encourage the public to come and see the matching by offering discounts and special offers.The first 3 seasons of the DLF IPL was a great success and it drew large crowds except the one held in south Africa,yet to south African standards it was above average.Most of the players get allured to the amount of money they receive from the IPL hence reserve and get themselves prepared for the contest by making them available.



One of the biggest attractions of the IPL has been the cheer leaders,this was one of the major attractions from the start of the IPL.Many Teams nowadays consider it seriously in choosing the cheerleaders for their Team.Cheer leaders dancing to the Desi tunes played by the DJ can raise the moods of the public thus creating a festive atmosphere around the stadium.

                           
Many teams nowadays has a brand ambassador for them or film actor coming to the stadium to watch the matches.This also boosts the sales of the tickets.We get a enthralling experience by all the fun and entertainment provided by the IPl Teams.Its worth spending a evening out for one of the matches of the DLF IPL 2012.

Nokia N9 Tips & Tricks



N9 User Review



The best UI, best screen, most fluid interaction, most beautiful design, best reception, great battery life, free offline maps for the entire world, streaming radio, music store, THE BEST multitasking, integrated social networking throughout. N9 is a Qt enabled device. Qt is a cross platform tool that you can write the code once and deploy to multiple platforms such a maemo, meego, android, symbian, linux distros, windows, mac, and now next billion of s40 series of Nokia. 



If you want a better OS, go with the N9. If you want to have a better future and ecosystem, go with the Nokia 800 which looks like the N9's twin but with WP7. Had N9 been released around 2008 about a month before Android/G1 been released, then the story would be a lot different. It would be a battle between Nokia vs Apple iphone for the premium end, but Nokia would have still won in volume sales because they cover the entire spectrum of prices while Apple wins in profit margins. This phone should have been what the N97 could have been. But Nokia got complacent after their N95 success and wasn't fast enough to catch the touchscreen race or develop their own app ecosystem like Apple did when Nokia still had Symbian. Resting on their laurels.they made no changes to Symbian thet still used resistive touchscreens with an OS that was laggy and looked outdated. Fairly slow CPU speeds. Nokia also never tried to cater to the American market even when their N-Series sales were at their peak globally. If Americans wanted a Nokia, you would have to get it unlocked to a get a premium one or get a cheap prepaid one. The mobile OS is now ruled by American companies thanks to Apple, Google, and Microsoft. The N9 also had no plans to be released in the U.S.

Specifications
1. Weight 135 g 
It is the perfect weight, fits & feels nice in the hand, and is made of a single piece of polycarbonate, vastly superior to the materials mostly used in Android device. 

2. AMOLED only ( Latest technology is Super AMOLED Plus capacitive touchscreen ) 
N9 Screen is right up there with Super AMOLED Plus, but even better sunlight legibility and a higher PPI makes one of the best in the market

3. Display size 3.9 inches ( Latest Displace Size in premium segment is 4.3 inches )
It is a got a perfect size, has more pixels in 3.9 inches than others in 4.3 inches

4. No Extendable Memory no memory slot
64 Gb inbuilt which would be sufficient .

5. HSDPA, 14.4 Mbps 
Real world download speeds in the N9 are top notch

6. Bluetooth Yes, v2.1  ( latest version 3 )

7. 8 MP camera 
N9 has the best Camera after the N8. 

8. No Radio 

9. Micro sim card support only 

10. composite TV Video out 

11. CPU speed is good 1GHz Cortex A8 CPU 

12.Swipe UI on N9 looks smoother and faster than my sisters GS2.

                               

User Review

I have been using the phone for a couple of days. In the beginning as it is completely new it took me a day or so tom get used to it but after that I love it. Transferred my iTunes music into it,messaging is directly connected to Facebook,google talk and normal messaging. Unfortunately meego does not work with whatsapp yet but google talk is fine and prefer it to wahtsapp. Phone is beautiful got it in black speakers are great but the best thing is that the battery life is much better than any other touch phone. The swipe of the screen needs getting used to but once you do enjoy enjoy enjoy. Again software and hardware great design beautiful much nicer in reality than the pictures.

For the diehard fans of Nokia, this is their final race. Many great things & people die young. Everyone from rock stars dying at 27 to Steve Jobs at 56. Life is too short. N9 can die young like James Dean's Hollywood career, but their star will shine brighter now that they are gone.. A "cult classic"in the making like what the Sega Dreamcast.

HTC One X User Review


Using HTC One X for browsing for 2 hours and reading word documents for 3 hours watching videos for another 1 hour  - half the battery lasted a bit more than 8 hours. So my point of view  was extensive using and if it lasts for more then 8 hours with normal usage will last you a full day. The battery life is pretty good.Some of the good features.


1.Supper fast Operation experience

2.Unbelievable camera experience..

3.No lag & supper fast than digital cameras.

4.Supper clarity-HD screen and recording
(While on Video record or play mode you can take photos)

5.Screen touch zoom
(In video recording it work good in low light normal indoor room –Can compare with even a 20k worth camera performance)

6.Beat audio without beat head set- good htc head set

7.Sleek & slim design ,robust body

8.Good contact application-delete duplicate/like different contacts easy.

6.No hanging..

7.Good outlook mail view experience- ppt will open in split  seconds and you can glide smoothly to any pages

Concerns

1.No 3G video calling. Expected to upgrade with 1.3 front camera total waste.
2.No pouch or screen guard for the device.
3.No beat head set added which is available with Sensation XL
4. micro sim
5.Batter built in
6.No SD card slot-But got 32G memory
7.No file explorer application inbuilt.

Citymaps2go

Citymaps2go Its one of the best offline maps available currently in the market.It allows users to download maps from websites ans save it in the memory disk and use it when offline. Hence users always have access to maps even when they dont have data or internet connection.This is helful to people travelling frequently to different countries and places.I have been using the Apple iphone 4s in UAE for the past 6 months and i have be looking for some good offline maps and came across citymaps2go.By far one of the best offlines maps i have ever used.
