Post or POST may refer to:

Post (South Africa)

The Post is an English-language newspaper in South Africa owned by Independent News & Media and published in Durban, South Africa.

Post (Paul Kelly album)

Post is the first solo album by Australian singer-songwriter rock musician, Paul Kelly. Kelly had moved to Sydney by January 1985, after leaving his Melbourne-based Paul Kelly Band and the breakup of his marriage to Hilary Brown.

The album was produced by Clive Shakespeare ( Sherbet guitarist) and Kelly, and was released in May 1985 by the independent White Records label, leased to Mushroom Records. The album failed to chart in Australia, with only one single, " From St Kilda to Kings Cross", released in April which also failed to chart. The name of the album, Post relates to both being 'after' significant changes in Kelly's life and to the sense of a 'signpost' to future directions. Kelly dedicated the album to Paul Hewson, keyboardist and songwriter for New Zealand/Australian band Dragon who had died of a heroin overdose in January. Kelly has described Post as a concept album dealing with addictions - not necessarily heroin addiction - but various forms, he has also denied that the songs were autobiographical but that he wrote about the world around him.

Post (route)

A post is a moderate to deep passing route in American football in which a receiver runs 10–20 yards from the line of scrimmage straight down the field, then cuts toward the middle of the field (towards the facing goalposts, hence the name) at a 45-degree angle.

It is designed to stretch the opposing secondary deep down the field, opening holes in the coverage over the middle. It works particularly well against secondaries that don't have more than one safety who is effective in coverage, or against safeties with 2 or 4 deep zone players, attacking the void in the middle of the field. It tends to induce the opposing defense to play a deeper field and drop more defenders into deep coverage, but this may still open up the run. Cover 3 packages can be effective against it, if the defender in middle deep coverage is perceptive enough.

To run the route effectively, a wide receiver must be adept at catching the ball in traffic, and have the vertical ability and strength to rise above the top of a safety to catch the ball.

A variant of the post pattern, in which the receiver cuts infield at a shallower angle, is called a skinny post. It is designed to find a hole in deep coverage, cutting shallow inside the deep sideline defender, but not far enough to draw the middle defender.

Post (Björk album)

Post is the second solo studio album by Icelandic recording artist Björk. The album was released in June 1995 through One Little Indian in the United Kingdom and Elektra Records in the United States. Unlike her previous release Debut - which was almost entirely produced by Mo' Wax artist Nellee Hooper - Post is characterized by more collaborative efforts, including production by Hooper, 808 State's Graham Massey, and trip hop pioneer Tricky. Moreover, Björk co-produced every song on the album. Post received widespread critical acclaim from reviewers and was a commercial success, charting at number 2 in the United Kingdom and 32 in the United States. It was certified gold in New Zealand and Sweden, and platinum in Australia, Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom. Telegram, a remix album of songs from Post, was released in 1996.

Arguably one of Björk's most commercially oriented albums, Post is known for its eclecticism, continuing the pop orientation of Debut but also incorporating other musical genre, including electronica and dance styles - such as techno, IDM, house and ambient - but also jazz, industrial and experimental music.A reflection of Björk's new life in London, Post features songs she wrote after moving to England and was intended to convey the fast pace and urban culture of the city, deviating from the themes of its predecessor - which focused on the compositions the singer had written in Iceland. It also centres on the contemporary styles of British underground club culture, with which the singer had established close ties.

Six singles were released from Post: " Army of Me", " Isobel", " It's Oh So Quiet", " Hyperballad", " Possibly Maybe", and " I Miss You"; with three of them charting in the British top 10. The music videos that accompanied every single heavily aided Björk's success, and have been celebrated as exponents of their use as an auteur art medium. The peak of media interest on the singer and the extensive Post Tour - her first proper North American one as a solo artist - proved detrimental to her welfare: she caused controversy by knocking a reporter to the ground, and a stalker failed to murder her. Because of this, Björk would relocate to Spain to produce Homogenic, her following studio album. For its integration of pop and experimental styles, Post is now considered one of Björk's most idiosyncratic releases, one of the greatest albums of the decade and, occasionally, of all time.

POST (HTTP)

In computing, POST is one of many request methods supported by the HTTP protocol used by the World Wide Web. By design, the POST request method requests that a web server accepts and stores the data enclosed in the body of the request message. It is often used when uploading a file or submitting a completed web form.

In contrast, the HTTP GET request method is designed to retrieve information from the server. As part of a GET request, some data can be passed within the URL's query string, specifying for example search terms, date ranges, or other information that defines the query. As part of a POST request, an arbitrary amount of data of any type can be sent to the server in the body of the request message. A header field in the POST request usually indicates the message body's Internet media type.

Post (structural)

A post is a main vertical or leaning support in a structure similar to a column or pillar but the term post generally refers to a timber but may be metal or stone. A stud in wooden or metal building construction is similar but lighter duty than a post and a strut may be similar to a stud or act as a brace. In the U.K. a strut may be very similar to a post but not carry a beam. In wood construction posts normally land on a sill, but in rare types of buildings the post may continue through to the foundation called an interrupted sill or into the ground called earthfast, post in ground, or posthole construction. A post is also a fundamental element in a fence. The terms "jack" and "cripple" are used with shortened studs and rafters but not posts, except in the specialized vocabulary of shoring.
