Mashatu, located on the Northern Tuli Game Reserve of Botswana, and bordering South Africa, is a game reserve which boasts savannah, forests, and vast marshlands.
Arrive in Johannesburg this afternoon, and spend the evening in a hotel on the outskirts of the city. Dine locally and prepare for your early morning departure.
This morning, collect your rental car and drive to your meeting point on the South African side of Pont Drift Border Post, and, once the border formalities are complete, you'll prepare your bikes, load the support vehicle, and enjoy a light lunch before biking to your first wilderness camp. As you cycle through the roaming grounds of lion, African elephant, Cape buffalo, leopard and rhinoceros you will be accompanied by 2 armed rangers as well as a following back up vehicle.
After an exhilarating afternoon ride, arrive to chilled drinks, a hot bucket shower, and a wholesome dinner prepared over an open fire. A simple yet fully equipped wilderness camp provides for a much-needed night's rest under starlit skies.
Awake this morning to fresh brewed coffee and a breakfast of fresh fruits and homemade breads, after which you'll prepare your bikes for today's ride over uncharted terrains, testing your biking abilities over rocky outcrops, sandy riverbeds, and open plains.
Break for tea and a cold drink along the route, arriving back at camp in time for lunch before an afternoon siesta. In the late afternoon, you'll have the opportunity to ride or drive to a nearby sundowner point.
This morning, bike across changing landscapes towards your final camp.
A pasta lunch and hot showers welcome weary legs, with an opportunity for you to sit back and relax. After an afternoon of leisure, head off on a short walk to a nearby cliff for a stunning sundowner. Return to an open fire-prepared meal, after which a restful night's sleep under the stars will conclude your safari.
A fresh breakfast this morning brings the safari to an end. Drive your rental car back to Johannesburg.
For a chance to view the reserve's incredible wildlife at close range, we recommend an additional night at the camp, leaving time for a short safari from a game-viewing vehicle.


Tree sparrows prefer open farmland with well-spaced mature deciduous trees in hedges, isolated small woods or pollarded willows along slow flowing rivers, streams and ditches. In the winter they will move onto stubbles, naturally regenerated areas and game cover.
Adults feed on small seeds and insects, whereas chicks are entirely dependent upon insects and spiders for the first two weeks of life.
Tree Sparrows breed between April and early August. Generally they have 2 to 3 broods each season. They nest in colonies in tree holes, willow pollards, farm buildings and nest boxes. Boxes should be placed in groups within the same tree above head height and need a 2.8cm entrance hole.
"Tsuwitt"- A nasal, disyllabic and cheery tone.
Aim to provide a year-round source of food. Field margins, winter stubbles and wild bird-seed crops (kale and quinoa preferred) provide winter seeds for adults.
In spring and summer, field margins, conservation headlands and unimproved grasslands provide seeds for adults and insects for chicks.
Protection of traditional nesting sites is important as tree sparrows nest in colonies. Do not fell old trees unless they pose a direct safety concern.
Re-cut old willow pollards and consider erecting boxes in loose groups.
Adopt a range of trimming styles and hedge types around the farm. Hedges along watercourses will be favoured and additional height (above 3 metres) would be highly beneficial.
Millet and cereal grain are favoured food sources to feed on in winter.


Those looking for a big laugh can find one in Philip Kotler's Huffington Post article entitled Fix Capitalism - Join Us!
Kotler says "The economic system is failing to deliver rising living standards for most Americans. Most of the gains from higher productivity are going to the rich. The middle class is getting smaller, the wages of the working class are lower in real terms than in the 1980s, and the really poor continue to constitute 15% of our citizens."
On his website FixCaptalism.Com Kotler notes 14 shortcomings of capitalism but says "there may be more".
Needs to bring social values, well being and happiness into the market equation.
Kotler's list is so preposterous, I hardly know where to start. So let's just go down the list one by one.
It is capitalism that is responsible for improved standards of living over the decades.
The Fed and government bureaucrats, not capitalism is behind growing income inequality. That said, some degree of inequality is not only a good thing but a very necessary thing. People need to be rewarded for bringing new ideas to the market. Successful new ideas raise the standards of living of everyone, and income inequality creates the very incentive to market new ideas.
The inflationary policies of central bank planners is the primary reason people do not make a "living wage".
Throughout history people feared automation. Yet every technological advance created new jobs. One reason for the acceleration of job losses now are the very "living wage" proposals espoused by those like Kotler that price humans out of jobs.
It's not the role of businesses, nor should it be, to be concerned with undefinable "social costs".
It's not capitalism that fails to charge businesses for pollution costs, but rather governments.
It is beyond idiotic to propose capitalism causes economic instability. It is governments and central banks that cause economic instability.
With his concern about "community commons", one can easily see Kotler is a dyed-in-the-wool socialist. The problem with socialism is, it does not work and never will.
Capitalism does not encourage high consumer debt. The Fed and central banks do, in the inane belief debt drives the economy.
Capitalism does not let "politicians and business interests collaborate to subvert the economic interests of the majority of citizens". Rather corrupt politicians willing to do anything to get reelected are the problem.
Capitalism does not favor short-run profit planning, but tax laws might.
In point 12, Kotler argues in favor of "anti-competition". Competition is the very essence of improved products and rising standards of living.
Capitalism does not focus on GDP at all. Misguided economists, politicians, and central banks do.
Pray tell, whose "social values" do we need to consider? Mine? Yours, ISIS? Kotler's? Personally, I do not want some jackass or set of government jackasses, deciding what is socially right or wrong.
Philip Kotler is the S.C. Johnson & Son Distinguished Professor of International Marketing at the Northwestern University Kellogg School of Management in Chicago.
Having completed my 14 point rebuttal, it is pretty clear Kotler has no idea what capitalism really is or the advances it has created. He attributes problems to capitalism that are in reality caused by central banks and government bureaucrats.
Kotler wants to "save capitalism from itself."
The irony is capitalism does indeed need to be saved, not from itself, but from economically illiterate socialists like Kotler.
Rather than fixing capitalism, I suggest we actually try capitalism in lieu of Fed foolishness, government foolishness, and socialist foolishness.


Insurance policies are complicated enough without getting into what law from what state will apply. Some policies have a special "choice of law" or "governing law" provision that allows the parties to agree that a particular state's laws will be used to interpret the agreement even if the insured lives in a different state.
The parties to any contract, agreement or undertaking, contingent or otherwise, in consideration of, or relating to any obligation arising out of a transaction covering in the aggregate not less than two hundred fifty thousand dollars…may agree that the law of this state shall govern their rights and duties in whole or in part, whether or not such contract, agreement or undertaking bears a reasonable relation to this state.
Most contracts for property insurance carry a policy limit at $250,000 or above for building or personal property coverage. That makes most insurance policies fall within the purview of the statute. Adjusters and attorneys should be aware of the choice of law provisions in their insurance contracts because it could greatly alter an insured's rights. For example, New York courts have upheld the insurance carrier's right to modify the statute of limitations to only one year from the date of loss.1 If you have an out-of-state property but your insurance carrier has a choice of law provision for New York, most likely your policy will be subject to New York law and a one-year statute of limitations will be enforceable regardless of your own states rules, statutes, or regulations. In IRB-Brasil Resseguros v. Inepar Investments,2 the Court of Appeals held that under N.Y. General Obligations Law § 5-1401, New York courts must apply New York law without conducting a choice of law analysis.
1 See e.g., Kozemko v. Griffith Oil Co., 256 A.D.2d 1199, 1200 (1998), H.P.S. Capitol, Inc. v. Mobil Oil Corp., 186 A.D.2d 98, 99 (1992).
2 IRB-Brasil Resseguros, S.A. v. Inepar Invs., S.A., 20 N.Y.3d 310, 315-16 (N.Y. 2012).
The one (1) year statute of limitations in New York is two-fold for importance.
calls, etc. and this goes on for months.
will settle or suit will be filed. Either way, progress is made.

Q: Finding prime numbers in Python I need to write a function, is_prime(), which takes in an integer n > 1 and returns TRUE if the number is a prime number and False otherwise. But when I input 2, it always returns False. Is there anyway to correct this?
def is_prime(x):
    if(x > 1):
        for i in range(2,x+1):
            if( x % i == 0):
                return False
            else:
                return True
    else:
        return False

A: Instead of doing this, you can also use SymPy module
import sympy

sympy.isprime(5)

Result :
True

A: Two issues:
First issue is that range includes the number itself, which means that it will always return true (for numbers > 1) because prime numbers can divide themselves...
Fix: change range(2,x+1) to: range(2, x)
Second issue, the first else should be aligned with the for (we return true only after trying all the numbers and making sure that none of them divides x)
Fixed code:
def is_prime(x):
    if x > 1:
        for i in range(2,x):
            if x % i == 0:
                return False
        else:
            return True
    else:
        return False

A: Although @alfasin's solution is correct (+1), I find the use of else makes it slightly more challenging to understand.
The else on the for loop in particular required me to reread the Python documentation as most sources say that the else means no break but it really means completed normally, which is true in the case of a loop that didn't run at all!
Here's my rework removing the else statements which aren't strictly needed:
def is_prime(x):
    if x > 1:
        for i in range(2, x):
            if x % i == 0:
                return False

        return True

    return False

As others will point out, this is probably as inefficient a prime test as you can write.  But it works.

Government comms drive to boost take-up of electric cars
In 'The Road to Zero', a new strategy to reduce emissions, the Department for Transport states: "We will continue working with industry on consumer communications about ultra low emission vehicles until at least 2020."
It is part of a wider effort to change the culture of car ownership away from traditional petrol and diesel vehicles towards electric cars.
The government plans to end the sale of new conventional petrol and diesel cars and vans by 2040 – when the majority of new vehicles will have zero emissions.
The strategy, launched last month, adds that there will also be "a 2018/19 Go Ultra Low campaign to promote the benefits of ultra low emission vehicles to consumers and businesses."
Go Ultra Low is an ongoing joint government-industry marketing drive. Launched in 2014, it is funded by the Office for Low Emission Vehicles and vehicle manufacturers (Audi, Hyundai, Kia, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Toyota and Volkswagen) working in association with the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders.
Its campaign last year centred on case studies, in which owners of electric cars described how and why they had taken the plunge. It also featured online tools to enable people to work out how much they would save if they were to choose an electric car.
Attitudinal tracking carried out before and after that activity showed a 13% rise in people viewing electric vehicles as a credible alternative to petrol and diesel cars, and a 19% increase in those planning to purchase an electric vehicle.
Yet many drivers remain unaware of the benefits of electric cars, according to research carried out for Go Ultra Low earlier this year.
It revealed that 89% did not know that electric cars accelerate quicker than their traditional counterparts, while one in four thought they are more expensive to keep running.
Another sign of the ignorance about this type of vehicle is that 42% of respondents were unsure whether you can put an electric car through a car wash.
Poppy Welch, head of Go Ultra Low, said: "The research shows that there is much confusion and misunderstanding [among] the British public when it comes to pure electric cars."
She added: "Dispelling these misconceptions and highlighting these perks is therefore vital if we are to see more motorists make the switch to electric motoring."

Being from Wakefield I get to photograph weddings at The Holmfield a few times throughout the year. The Holmfield is a marquee venue with access to some lovely grounds to capture wedding photographs. Situated a few minutes from Wakefield city centre, its ideally placed for all your guests.
Aimee and Nick booked me a long long time ago, as is quite regularly the case these days. They booked me for shorter coverage as they were having an evening ceremony. This worked great as it meant we could photograph them in the golden autumn sun in the grounds surrounding the Holmfield Arms.

My name is Charlene and the magic of Walt Disney World® goes way back for me! Back far enough to remember The Wonderful World of Disney movies on Sunday night. My first trip came as a teenager long before MGM, Disney's Animal Kingdom® Theme Park or even Epcot® existed! I will never forget approaching The Magic Kingdom® Park aboard the ferry boat, watching the castle get closer and closer! Nor that first walk down Main Street, U.S.A.®. I relive it every time I go back! It was a dream come true!
Back in the day - well the 80's and early 90's our family traveled to Orlando many times to visit Grandma and Grandpa. I remember thinking back then what a shame it was that it took numerous trips Walt Disney World® before we learned how to make the most of our time and money! My husband John and I have been married for 24 years. We met in high school and have been together ever since! We have 3 children and began homeschooling in 1998. Now here I am still visiting Walt Disney World® and putting those "back in the day" experiences along with new ones to work for YOUR Magical Vacation!
As a 3D Travel Company Specialist I do exactly that! Once you contact me we will begin planning your very own magical vacation.

Besides the scope of Walt Disney World® there is the 'lingo', the acronyms and those pesky ins and outs. DDP, ME, EMH, DHS and the list goes on.

My goal is for your family to have the Most Magical Walt Disney World® Vacation Ever! To help you feel confident knowing you have made the best choices in resort, dining, entertainment and tickets. One thing I really enjoy doing is finding out what is going to make this vacation the most magical Disney trip ever!
Trips to Walt Disney World® are fantastic but also consider a unique and special trip. In 2007 my Sister and I planned a Princess Trip with our daughters during The Ultimate Field Trip! This was indeed a trip of a lifetime for the 4 of us!
I would be glad to help you plan the most magical Walt Disney World® vacation ever! Talk to you soon!!
Memories I will Cherish Forever!

You helped to make lifetime Disney fans out of my husband and children!
Booking vacation #3 with the best Disney expert!!

This is the second time we have used Charlene to plan our trips!


Violinist Patricia Kopatchinskaja was busy doing what she does – rehearsing a frantic 11 hours a day for a new concept concert in Switzerland.
The album is something of a collage or mashup of works by Schubert, John Dowland, György Kurtág and others.
The violinist, who is an SPCO artistic partner, thought this was a special album because it was a live recording with limited time for overdubs afterward.
"In a concert it's very unlikely to play super creative, unexpectable, spontaneous, and at the same time completely perfect," she said. "Until recently everybody in the industry insisted on an outwardly perfect, highly polished and glossy surface. Perhaps now the interest shifts back to other qualities which we went for in this case: Meaning, connections between pieces, curiosity, creativity and surprise – exploring unknown territories.
Kopatchinskaja is already witnessing the impact of her first Grammy.
One thing the globe-trotting violinist hasn't considered is where to put the Grammy when she receives it.

Terminal 2 of the Mactan-Cebu International Airport (MCIA), which is touted as the Philippines' first "resort airport," will be inaugurated this coming June 7 though commercial operations are scheduled to begin only by July 1.
It was built by a consortium composed of Philippine construction company Megawide Construction Corp. and India-based GMR Infrastructure Ltd., operator of the Delhi International Airport and the Hyderabad International Airport in India. They formed a joint venture called the GMR Megawide Cebu Airport Corp. (GMCAC).
Even now, the new airport terminal's unique and sleek design is already winning admiration from all over the world. It has received numerous awards for its architecture such as the Kohler Bold Design Award for Innovation in 2017.
The MCIA is the second largest airport in the country by passenger volume, receiving over 10 million passengers last year. With the new terminal, the airport aims to grow passenger capacity to 12.5 million in order to meet the rising demand.
Work on the project began on June 29, 2015. Almost exactly to the day three years later, MCIA's Terminal 2 is set to begin commercial operations.
Here are some pictures, courtesy of the Public Private Partnership (PPP) Center and the Department of Transportation (DOTr), showing the progress of the construction project until early this year.

A long-term care nurse is specially trained to provide nursing care for patients of any age who have a chronic illness or disability and need long-term medical care. While the vast majority of long-term care patients are elderly, some are younger and have developmental disabilities or other physical and mental disabilities. A patient often moves into a long-term care facility when a stint in the hospital is not enough to rehabilitate them. A good many long-term care nurses work in nursing homes and assisted living facilities, but some work in home health care. Some long-term care nurses also assist patients with activities of daily living such as dressing, bathing and using the bathroom, but their primary focus is on caring for their health. They vigilantly monitor patients' health and are on-call to respond if a patient's health declines suddenly. Long-term care nurses also administer patients' medications on schedule, and educate patients and their families on the ramifications of long-term medical conditions.

Husband of Montebello mayor due in court after drug arrest
By Ruben Vives, Kate Mather and Richard Winton
Oct. 18, 2013 6:36 AM PT
The husband of Montebello's mayor is due in court Monday to face accusations that he sold drugs near a school.
Ruben Guerrero, 44, was booked Thursday on suspicion of methamphetamine and narcotics sales near a school. He was free on bail Friday.
In an interview with The Times, Montebello Mayor Christina Cortez said she was "very disappointed and, like everyone else, shocked."
Cortez urged "everyone and the public to let this investigation take its course."
"As a mother, as a daughter and as an elected official, I have supported the education of understanding the dangers of drugs. [Thursday's] events will not change that," she added.
Authorities said Guerrero was arrested around 6 a.m. as he was leaving the couple's home in the 1500 block of Los Angeles Avenue. Investigators said Guerrero had been spotted selling illegal drugs near Montebello Intermediate School, not far from his home.
Law enforcement sources said the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department investigation began a little more than a month ago when the department received information from Montebello police that Guerrero was suspected of selling meth.
Guerrero was said to be using his home as a base of operations and was described as a small-time dealer, the sources said.
Cortez said she was home with her children when the search warrant was served.
Authorities also served a search warrant at a house where the mayor said her 89-year-old grandmother lived. Cortez said it was unfortunate the events were linked to her grandmother's home.
Detectives did not reveal whether any narcotics were recovered during the search. Authorities said Guerrero was the only one in either household implicated in the sales of drugs.
This is not the first time Guerrero has had a run-in with the law. In November 1999, he was convicted of driving under the influence.
Last year, arson investigators with the Montebello Fire Department investigated a "suspicious" fire that burned Cortez's Chevrolet Suburban. Cortez said the vehicle damaged in the early-morning fire on Sept. 28, 2012, was driven mostly by her husband, the Whittier Daily News reported.
This year, Montebello Councilman Frank Gomez sought a restraining order against Guerrero, saying the mayor's husband had made threats -- once through voicemail and once at a council meeting. The restraining order was denied in January, court records show.
Montebello Police Chief Kevin McClure said the current investigation is being handled entirely by the Sheriff's Department. "We will have to wait and see what the facts are," he said.

android:minSdkVersion="9"

A: Expandable notifications with buttons etc. are only supported Jelly Bean onwards. It is possible to integrate them when targeting a minimum of API 9, but you will need to use runtime checks to see if you're on a Jelly Bean device or not. If you are, you can display an actionable notification, and if you aren't you can default back to the normal notification.

German lender NordLB has ditched plans to sell a EUR1.3bn ($1.5bn) portfolio of shipping loans to KKR, after around a year of negotiations.
NordLB is now looking at selling individual ship loans as it views that as more profitable than a sale of portfolios. It still anticipates to pare back its shipping loan exposure to EUR12bn to EUR14bn buy the end of this year.
German banks have been going through a belated massive clear out of shipping loans over the past eight months.


You can choose an insurance package for every aspect of your business and every risk your company faces. There are so many insurance types on the market that you may find it difficult to determine the coverage type that you need. The basic insurance types to look at are property insurance, liability insurance, casualty insurance, health insurance, life insurance and disability insurance. Other insurance types you may consider, depending on your business, are business interruption and workers compensation.
With property insurance, you are insured against losses and damage to your business location. The property insurance can be specific as well – if you buy fire insurance, you will not be insured against losses due to an earthquake or tornado. Liability insurance is another good option in case your business is being sued. It insures against legally imposed liabilities due to negligence of your employees or business in general. Casualty insurance will insure you against losses or damages.
Businesses that strive to be competitive on the market will offer health insurance to their employees. This type of insurance provides a health coverage benefit. Finally, you can opt for life and disability insurance which will protect your company against disability or death of your key workers and employees.
Where to shop for business insurance? One obvious place is banks. Wells Fargo, for example, offers business owners policy, business property insurance, workers compensation insurance, and business auto insurance. With business owners policy, you will protect assets that are essential to your business. This policy combines a number of insurances into one package so that you have the security and flexibility to expand your business. Two main insurance types are property and liability. Property insurance insures the contents and physical structure of your business, including computers, office equipment, inventory, and furniture. Liability insurance protects your company against claims that arise out of allegations of negligence. Business property insurance has two major components – business interruption, covering lost income and expenses, and property, which covers your company's property and buildings. Workers compensation insurance is, in fact, one of the state-mandated insurance types. It provides rehabilitative services, medical benefits, and income to workers who have been injured due to work-related duties.
Another place to shop for business insurance is the U.S. Bank. The bank offers a variety of insurance types, including life insurance, disability insurance, worksite benefits programs, long term care insurance, and many other types. Special risk insurance will protect your assets from expensive and lengthy treatments due to a serious medical condition. Employers will be able to pay indirect and direct costs of cancer treatments and other serious conditions, such as strokes and heart attacks. Long term care insurance is another option, considering that the cost of staying in a nursing home a year is $50,000 or more. Long-term care, such as home health care, is very expensive. Many business owners choose to buy this type of insurance as a way of protecting their financial independence. Long term care coverage may be obtained through payroll deduction for your parents, spouse, in-laws, and employees. Workers benefits programs are another good solution for businesses with over 150 employees. These programs fill insurance gaps that are not covered by the primary insurance plans. Voluntary benefits are chosen and paid for by workers and employees, depending on their individual requirements and needs. They supplement rather than replace the main benefits that you already enjoy. Other insurance types you can choose from include executive benefits programs, disability insurance, key employee indemnification, disability insurance, and, of course, life insurance.

EFFECT OF NIGERIAN PIDGIN ON STANDARD ENGLISH AMONG NIGERIAN STUDENTS
Format: MS WORD :: Chapters: 1-5 :: Pages: 70 :: Attributes: Questionnaire, Data Analysis,abstract, table of content, references :: 10,071 people found this useful
The study effect of Nigerian pidgin on Standard English among Nigerian students aimed to make them know it has effect on their use of English i.e. it hampers proficient use and retards progress in acquiring good English language. The study made use of primary data which are gotten from the distribution of 50 questionnaires to 5 schools (Denosa Demonstration School , Immaculate Conception College, Ogunbor Foundation Secondary Schools, Solid Foundation Secondary School and St. Maria Goretti Secondary School) at the rate 10 questionnaires pair school. The study made use of the simple percentage method for the analysis. This study sets out to investigate some of the effect of Nigerian pidgin English on standard English among Nigerian students in Ikpoba Okha Local Government Area of Edo State. It suggests possible ways some of these effects identified could be alleviated. The study also made useful recommendation to assist the federal government in decision making.
English language originated in England and is now widely spoken throughout the continents. It is the primary language of the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Austrialia, Ireland, New Zealand, and various small Island nations in the Carribean Sea and Pacific Ocean. It is also an official language of India, the Philippines and many countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, including South Africa. In Nigeria, English Language is the lingual Franca. This makes the language an indispensable tool for students in the country to communicate and interact socially because of the numerous indigenous languages/dialects spoken by the different ethnic groups in different parts of the country.
The Nigeria broken English is a little bit different from other forms of Pidgin English by other African nations; this is as a result of variation in dialects (Okoye, 2000). Some dialects are similar both in spoken and in written form, while others are radically different from one another. These Nigerian languages include Kwale, Owan, Urhobo, Edo, Ijaw and Yoruba. However, none of these dominant tribal languages has been generally accepted as a national language. English language is the official language in Nigeria and the means through which the colonial masters in their era used in uniting the various tribes for communication to take place.
English language is global the language of technology, science, aviation and computer, education and at that a world language of importance. Therefore efficient spoken/written knowledge of English Language is of basic importance to the study of every other subject of Standard English language command respect and prestige in the society. Inspite of the importance of correct use of English language, it is found that most students speak pidgin especially among peer groups; this therefore have significant effect on the standard of English language among students (Okon, 2002). A number of factors contribute to the situation one of which is the constant used of pidgin English in the study and living situations including the primary and junior secondary schools. It becomes challenging to the standard of English language among students in Nigeria. To speak Standard English with the students especially those in junior secondary more so the certificate classes level of JSS III, SS III level. This will be English teachers encouraging the pupils to speak it every time and anywhere with availability of adequate instructional materials to aid the teaching and learning of English language. The study in this regard wishes to examine the effect of Nigerian pidgin English on standard English among Nigerian students
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEMS
Pidgin English is traceable to the Portuguese coming to Nigeria as traders and missionaries. Pidgin English is a hybrid language, contains elements of both immediate African language speaking environment and English. It is learned usually as L2 at times as L1. It is not what a learner learn by itself because it is no developmental. It is a fairly closed language sound system and serves restricted numerous functions an expanding to serve fresh function by wholesale borrowing of vocabulary from English. The missionaries from Portugal used pidgin English as a means of communication with the natives of the coastal lands. Today, Pidgin English is used to facilitate communication link among individual, serves as a language of the literate and the illiterate in the Nigerian society. However, this Pidgin English which is mostly used at homes market, primary and junior secondary schools among peer groups should be stepped aside in the school system gamut of the society by the teachers so that standard English acquisition and command comes to the way of learners. This will make students take the standard English learning and efficient daily use serious and afford them active a command of good English in terms of communication and enjoyable social interaction.
The study purpose among others investigate the effect of Nigerian pidgin English on standard English among Nigerian students. Also to make them know it has effect on their use of English i.e. it hampers proficient use and retards progress in acquiring good English language. The study would also show the way out to students on how to minimize Pidgin English usage in their daily performance.
The significance of this study is to be found among others in parents/students and teachers recognition that Pidgin English usage slows down the pace of efficient use of English. In various homes, native language is spoken most often, then the pidgin English and there English. It may be in form of our dialects, Pidgin English or Standard English. The background of our upbringing matters a lot, when we are taught in pidgin for instance, there is no way we can have a good command of Standard English anywhere we find ourselves. Rather the parents who had trained up their children with Standard English would be proud of their children, hearing them use Standard English to communicate, Standard English enhances the children's educational standard because English is a means through which every other subject is taught.
In the same vein, a situation where a child is trained to use Pidgin in communication, the child finds it difficult to understand his teacher when the lesson is going on. Therefore, if a child is trained up with standard English at school, the child learns easily without any stress or strain to understanding the language used by the teacher (i.e. Standard English). Teachers does not find it difficult to disseminate any information to such Standard English background oriented student(s). the teacher would be happy seeing his students excel in the examinations and of course the students would command respect or prestige in the society using eloquently the Standard English.
Are there available qualified teaches handling the teaching/learning of English language?
Does Pidgin English have any influence on the Standard English Language?
Is there any relationship between Pidgin English and Standard English Language?
SCOPE AND LIMITATION OF THE STUDY
This study examines the effect of Nigerian pidgin English on standard English among Nigerian students in Ikpoba Okha Local Government Area of Edo State.
There were other factors that did not allow for a thorough and comprehensive study of this work. There was time constraint, lack of materials to lay hold on for adequate execution of this project. Finance was also a factor that hampered such more adequate proper execution of the study.

16/08/2005 Press release 14/2005 During the month of June 17.9 million standard cubic meters of oil equivalents (Sm3 o.e.) were produced. This is 3.0 million Sm3 o.e. lower than during June 2004.
The average daily production was about 2 250 000 barrels oil, about 237 000 barrels NGL and about 148 000 barrels condensate.
So far this year the total production is about 129.3 million Sm3 o.e. This is 7.3 million Sm3 o.e. less than in the same period last year. Production is lower due to planned production stoppage and technical problems on several fields. Oil production during the first half of 2005 reached 74.5 million Sm3 or an average of 2.6 million barrels per day. This is 5,6 percent lower than the NPD's forecast for the first six months of 2005.
Preliminary production figures for July shows an increase in oil production. Average daily production is about 2.600 million barrels oil and 0.374 million barrels NGL and condensate. Final figures will be published in the beginning of September 2005.
Please note that the table with updated production figures for the Norwegian shelf has been moved to the NPDS's fact-pages. The overview shows complete history per field and total production per month and year.

GOP congressman: Trump "seems to want to interfere" with Russia probe
President Donald Trump has attempted to block the FBI's Russia probe, Rep. Charlie Dent (R-Penn.) suggested in a CNN interview Saturday.
"I don't understand why he seems to want to interfere with this process," Dent said.
The comments came on the heels of a report that Trump had ordered the firing of special counsel Robert Mueller over the summer, but backed off after White House counsel Don McGahn threatened to resign.
The story — which Trump told reporters in Davos, Switzerland, was "fake news" on Friday — has once again given the appearance that Trump has sought to obstruct justice as the FBI investigates his campaign's ties to Russia.
Dent — who told CNN that he disagreed with the president's decision in May to terminate former FBI Director James Comey — also urged his Republican colleagues earlier this week to "temper their rhetoric" as they ramp up their criticisms of the Mueller investigation.
"I think it's important that we not undermine the American public's confidence in the Justice Department and the FBI," Dent said on CNN Wednesday.
A number of Republicans, including Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), have been alleging an anti-Trump conspiracy at the DOJ and FBI in an attempt to discredit the special counsel.
While Dent said Wednesday that there may be some "bad apples" in federal law enforcement, he said he has "confidence" in Mueller and that Republicans should not undermine the probe.
"I have confidence in Director Mueller that he is going to run a thorough, fair, professional investigation," Dent said. "We should not do anything to undermine this investigation."

Q: ASP.Net (C#) & SQL Server -or- PHP & MySQL for performance?   Money, Staff, Skill and preference to open source or commercial is neutral.
Let's take the best of the best programmers (for arguments sake) and think about this:
What will perform better overall:

*

*PHP & MySQL

or

*

*ASP.Net & SQL Server

(I don't want biased answers, just looking for performance and speed).

A: I'm the PHP guy (that also does .NET) that is going to say: All things being equal (programmer skill with the chosen platform, hardware, bandwith, etc.) ASP.NET with SqlServer is going to be faster than PHP with MySQL (at runtime). There is no way in hell an interpreted language can beat a compiled language at runtime speed.
I'd like to coin the question: "does it matter" and I cannot answer that one for you. but in my case, and most i've run into the answer was a definate no. I find that usually the difference in raw speed in (well designed) code is negligable, though ofcourse YMMV.
The choice mostly depends on the answer to the question: "when do you want to be fast?"

*

*while writing code

*while running code

*while debugging code

*all of the above

The only case where PHP would beat ASP.NET most of the time is 1; while writing code
There are two cases where ASP.NET wins hands down; 2 and 3, running and debugging code.
If you want the fastest overall, The answer will be undefined until we know the time spent in each of 1, 2 and 3 using both platforms.
-- addition below --
I obviously forgot to mention that there is one potential big thing that hasn't been addressed in PHP (yet) but is easy to do in .NET and that is multithreading. You can (with a lot of effort) do some multiprocessing in PHP but .NET makes it easy to run multiple actual threads in one process. If this isn't a dealbreaker however go for either.

A: ASP.NET is compiled (and uses a pretty effective runtime with a state of the art JIT and Garbage Collector) while PHP is an interpreted scripting language. I'll go with .NET on this one.
Plus SQL Server(2005+) is way better than MySQL for serious DB stuff

A: I have seen reports that show mysql to be faster for some simple scenarios (i.e. put to single table, get from single table). But the speed difference is not going to be enormous.
My experience is that any perceptible slowness in a website is due to one of (1) insufficient hardware for the db (e.g. simply not enough disk i/o or enough ram) or (2) complexity of database needs (related to necessary contention for what you want to get done). So the simple scenarios where mysql excels are not likely to be of the highest concern for avoiding a slow site. My point of view is that it is pretty trivial to add additional front end servers, so asp.net or php doesn't really matter much. It is generally quite hard to scale out on the database side (it can be done, but at much greater complexity).

A: I've worked on both and so I've actually looked into this and the answer really is "it doesn't matter".
From a user perspective, more time is spent queuing the HTTP requests than is spent executing the code, be it PHP/MySql or ASP.NET/MSSQL. If you had a website that was written in one of those languages, it would almost always be cheaper to increase the specs of the server to get performance than re-write in another langugage.
In my experience, although .NET SHOULD be faster, similar PHP pages are more responsive and they're pretty much functionally identical (very simple CMS sites with pages and products in a database). I develop both, so I've seen plenty of sites in both.

A: your application design and the skill level of the people will make the largest impact on performance

A: For web applications it probably doesn't matter when it comes picking PHP or ASP.NET since they both will spend most time waiting. ASP.NET is compiled and runs on the CLR while PHP is interpreted and has bytecode caching which greatly speeds up execution.
MySQL and MSSQL is hard to tell. Most very large websites run on MySQL. Facebook, Yahoo, Google, Digg, Twitter all have stuff running in MySQL. Unless you do some business intelligence stuff where you need MSSQL specific features for I wouldn't use it. It is very expensive and there is no proven benefit in performance.

A: You can get very good performance from both combinations.
ASP.NET  - compiled,  can run faster as it is compiled.
However there are some good php has some good caching addons, that actually save the generated php bytecode. Other thing to consider for php ist that most of its library is actually written in C and is compiled. With php you have a lot less code, that is running - no framework, request/context/response objects and instantiation of control trees. Overall php can run very fast.
I would go for ASP.NET for a corporate web application and php for a public web site.
For the databases - mysql can be a little faster than MSSQL for some scenarios but both of them are very good.

A: You wont get any numbers. But if you really want numbers I suggest you try the both and measure.


Cybercrime is on the rise. Our increasingly data-driven global economy presents golden opportunities to hackers. To stem the tide of leaks, breaches and attacks, large organizations are increasingly looking to the cloud for data security. And with good reason.
It's open season on corporate data. The average organization faces more than a hundred targeted cyberattacks each year, and one out of three attempts will result in a successful security breach. In other words, your company may face up to three effective attacks each month.
To make matters worse, it can take months or even years to detect the more sophisticated breaches, giving cybercriminals ample time to capitalize on their efforts. And even then, internal security teams only manage to catch 65 percent of all ongoing threats.
These are concerning statistics, to be sure, and they clearly illustrate the importance of data security. Keeping your data safe from internal and external breaches should be front and center in your mind. However, conventional wisdom is no longer your greatest ally. In this day and age, improving security means embracing the cloud.
Despite its meteoric rise, the cloud still makes many organizations feel uneasy – especially where data security is concerned. At first glance, this seems understandable. After all, who wouldn't think twice about putting their most valuable possessions in the hands of an outsider?
Under closer scrutiny, these misgivings fall apart entirely. Cloud security now offers better protection against data breaches than traditional on-premises solutions or third-party data centers. In fact, the public cloud is rapidly becoming the safest environment to store and share data. Respected vendors like Salesforce and Workday provide high standards of security by default, which can be augmented even further with an impregnable barrier of additional security layers and tools.
Naturally, this is not a one-size-fits-all situation. If you want to end up with the most effective cloud security, you need to ask the right questions. What type of data are you moving? Does the transition involve customer-related information, or are you focused on protecting trade secrets? What are your privacy requirements?
Answering these questions will allow you to pinpoint risks and manage them proactively, which is an essential first step on the road to data protection.
Which rules and regulations regarding data privacy apply to your information? Personal data and medical records are often subject to local laws. Prepare these requirements in advance.
Does your data security need to adhere to specific international standards? If so, you should make your cloud provider aware of the required security certificates.
Do you operate in a heavily regulated industry, like healthcare or financial services? If so, the location in which your data is stored is an important consideration. Each nation has different rules and your provider must know which legislative climate best suits your needs.
How do you need to handle employee data? Platforms like Workday have an impact on your data requirements, which has implications for where your data is stored.
What are your internal data security requirements? If you need a specific encryption solution or cryptographic gateway, letting your cloud provider know in advance will enable them to accommodate your needs.
Answering these questions will not only ensure that your cloud solution meets your specifications. It will also ensure that the transition goes smoothly, both internally and externally.
One of the biggest hurdles for companies moving to the cloud is the unnatural feeling of losing control. As soon as precious data moves off-premises, an instinctive sense of dread takes hold.
As far as data security is concerned, however, controlling access is vastly more important than controlling location. Improper access protocols are the single biggest risk to security – both in the cloud and elsewhere. You should carefully examine how your data is accessed and by whom, and focus specifically on weak spots and vulnerabilities in these areas. Most data breaches occur around these spots, regardless of where the data is stored.
Additionally, vulnerability testing is of paramount importance. An untested system is an unsecured system, whether it's on-premises or in the cloud. Mitigating data security risks in the cloud requires strenuous testing regimens, strong technology and proper planning.
Another important consideration would be the human factor. Your employees can be some of the most dangerous pieces on the board. It's all well and good that they can easily sign up for public cloud service like Dropbox, but who within your company manages the security for those services?
That's right: no one. This is a substantial risk, and surprisingly common. One global organization Accenture worked with assumed they had around 80 cloud services in their system. When we ran a check, we discovered they had 8,000. These unpleasant surprises can only be avoided with proper planning, awareness and governance.
Data security is important and it should certainly be on your agenda. However, many organizations allow themselves to get bogged down in security concerns for months or even years. This is not only costly, it's a waste of precious time and energy as well. In one case, Accenture worked with a financial services company that had been struggling with their security issues for months.
When they finally turned to Salesforce, they discovered it had the solution to their problems all along. It took only three months to get it up and running.
It is worth noting that this is the rule, rather than the exception. Security concerns should not stop you from moving forward, and they certainly shouldn't stop you from moving to the cloud. In many cases, the cloud provides unique solutions to data security issues no other approach can, and there are many ways to tailor security measures to meet your standards. All it takes is an open attitude and a willingness to discuss your doubts and requirements.
At the moment, less than 10 percent of the world's data is stored in the cloud. Many companies are taking an overly cautious approach, despite the impressive range of public cloud platforms currently available. Amazon Web Services, Salesforce and Google all provide excellent cloud solutions. It goes without saying that they take security extremely seriously, especially since their livelihoods and reputations depend on it. To give an example, Google has over 600 engineers working on security full-time. Most companies, if not all, would be hard-pressed to dedicate the same resources to on-premises legacy architecture and related security challenges.
These statistics reveal a huge opportunity for global businesses. While cloud adoption is still relatively low, it is growing rapidly. The benefits are clear and continue to mount. If you want to move ahead of your competitors who aren't in the cloud, you would do well to capitalize on the security tools these cloud providers have to offer.
Let's imagine for a moment that you've finally moved your data to the cloud. Now, a new question presents itself: who will monitor your cloud security?
If you're a company security officer, you will probably still want to know about every attack. After all, it's important to keep a holistic view of your security environment, regardless of the fact that your data has been moved to the cloud.
In the past, cloud service providers often had difficulty providing these insights. Just a few years ago, security reports were unheard of. But cloud providers have matured rapidly in this regard. They can now quickly deliver detailed security insights and analyses.
This is a valuable source of information, and you should take full advantage of the opportunity to monitor the state of cloud security and gain critical feedback. After all, these insights can also be relevant for security in other areas, outside of the cloud. There's no reason you won't be able to enjoy the same degree of overview and control you previously had on-premises.
There's no need to be apprehensive about cloud security. Those days are behind us. Modern security solutions are perfectly capable of keeping up with the speed of the cloud. You can now bring the best security and cyber threat prevention solutions to the cloud and tailor them to your specific needs.
The advantages of this are staggering. Moving to cloud-based services will give you universal access to the same level of protection you once had at the office. In addition, you no longer have to choose between securing your infrastructure or improving your productivity and reducing TCO. The cloud provides both. Don't let your fears hold you back. Let the cloud set you free and step into the future.

After graduating from the University of Hull with a degree in Commercial Law I completed the Legal Practise Course at Northumbria University. I then went on to work as a Contracts Specialist in one of the country's largest banks before joining SMD in 2012 as a Commercial Officer. In this role I provide contractual and commercial support to all areas of SMD, with primary responsibility to support new equipment sales. This includes the commercial review, evaluation and submission of Invitations to Tender, the drafting of Letters of Intent, negotiation of contracts and frame agreements, sign off of contract variations and liaising with SMD senior management to identify and mitigate commercial risks throughout the life of our equipment supply contracts. The main benefit of working at SMD is the variety of work. I could be drafting a collaboration agreement for a cutting edge innovation project one moment and flying to China for a contract negotiation the next. Within SMD the friendly, family atmosphere is evident in the attitudes of its employees and its senior management alike, this is a company who looks after their employees and where everyone reciprocates by treating each other with respect and honesty. It is an exciting time to be working at SMD as we continue our expansion into China, opening up new markets and opportunities.

"Windy City" is a Welcome (Albeit Underwhelming) Return
Hannah Bain, Staff Writer
At first, "Windy City" feels like background music at best. However, as the album progresses, it just feels like a simple, stripped-down country album by a woman with an unbelievable voice, which is what I expected. Maybe a little more country than I necessarily wanted, though.
Alison Krauss, to me, has always done a great job at mixing what we love about bluegrass, folk, and country music. One listen to her classic, "Baby Now That I Found You," and you'll know exactly what I mean. That delicate mix lacked for me in this album. "Windy City" features ten covers of mostly classic and exclusively country songs.
For a super fan, the fact that the album is all covers could be disappointing, as Krauss's original takes on songs have offered so much over her career. And without the clear influence of several genres that we've become accustomed to, it's also rather one-sided.
"Losing You" is a definite stand-out and is naturally the most listened-to on Spotify thus far. Her voice is naturally so melodic and full of emotion. Most of the songs are extremely soothing, and come off like a long sigh. They tell tales in the form of ballads of heartbreak and loss. There is certainly a jukebox quality, which I truly don't mind.
"It's Goodbye And So Long to You" and "Poison Love" are two of the more upbeat tracks — cheesy but cute. They remind me of my hometown in southern Tennessee, where Krauss comes off as a good ole' country girl with beats that can keep your cowboy boots moving.
As this is her first solo album in 18 years, it was highly anticipated. It's being well-received very, already considered a contender for musical awards throughout the next year. I'm not exactly sure why it is receiving the acclaim that it is. While listening to this album I do not feel particularly whelmed. Amused, entertained — sure, but not submerged. My guess is that, next to the stadium country so prominent now-a-days, "Windy City" is a refreshingly traditional and safe album. A crowd pleaser to her country & bluegrass fans alike.
"Windy City" is by no means groundbreaking, but who could complain about new music from Alison Krauss? I would listen to a recording of her singing "Happy Birthday" and feel some type of way.

Genesis 10)
1 Now these are THE GENERATIONS OF THE SONS OF NOAH, Shem (= name), Ham (= heat, black [as in evil, not color]), and Japheth (= enlargement); and to them were sons born after the flood.
2 The sons of Japeth; Gomer (= perfect, progenitor of the Celts), and Magog (= region of Gog [unknown derivative, of some northern nation. Associated with Gomer in Ezek.38:2,6.), and Madai (= middle land), and Javan (= clay), and Tubal (= the Tabali), and Meshech (= drawing out), and Tiras (= desire).
3 And the sons of Gomer; Askenas (= spreading fire), and Riphath (= spoken), and Togarmah (= probably an ancient name for Armenia).
4 And the sons of Javan; Elishah (= Elohim is salvation), and Tarshish (= established), and Kittim (= bruisers), and Dodanim (= leaders).
5 By these were the coastlands of the Gentiles divided by these were the sons of Japheth in their lands; and every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.
6 And the sons of Ham, Cush (= black), and Mizraim (= red soil), and Phut (= a bow), and Canaan (= low, flat).
7 And the sons of Cush; Seba (of foreign origin?), and Havilah (= circle), and Sabtah (= striking), and Raamah (= horses mane), and Sabtechah (= striking): and the sons of Ramaah; Sheba (= seven, or an oath), and Dedan (= low country).
about 2185 B.C.
8 And Cush begat Nimrod (= to rebel, "we will rebel", or "come let us rebel"): he began to be a hero in the earth.
9 He was a mighty hunter before the Lord: wherefore it is said, "Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter in defiance of the Lord." (A later proverb of Semitic origin, as Yahaveh was not known in Babylon.)
Nimrod. Gen. 10:8,9. 1 Chron. 1:10.
Josephus (Antiquities Jud. i. c. 4. 2) says: "Nimrod persuaded mankind not to ascribe their happiness to God, but to think that his own excellency was the source of it. And he soon changed things into a tyrant, thinking there was no other way to wean men from the fear (reverence) of God, than by making them rely upon his power."
The Targum of Jonathan says: "From the foundations of the world none was ever found like Nimrod, powerful in hunting, and in rebellions against the Lord."
The Jerusalem Targum says: "He was powerful in hunting and in wickedness before the Lord, for he was a hunter of the sons of men, and he said to them, 'Depart from the judgment of the Lord, and adhere to the judgment of Nimrod!' Therefore it is said: 'As Nimrod is the strong one, strong in hunting and in wickedness before the Lord.' "
The Chaldee paraphrases of 1 Chron. 1:10 says: "Cush begat Nimrod, who began to prevail in wickedness, for he shed innocent blood, and rebelled against Yahaveh."
Nimrod was the founder of Babylon (Translated instead of transliterated means "confusion"), which partook of his character as being the great antagonist of God's Truth and God's People.
We cannot fail to see, in Nimrod, Satan's first attempt to raise up a human universal ruler of men. There have been many subsequent attempts, such as Nebuchadnezzar, Alexander, Napoleon, Hitler, and others. He will finally succeed in the person of the Antichrist (which means in the stead of Christ. This is the role he has been wanting to play since his creation. This will be Satan himself, not some man born of woman. He is a Cherubim, he is super-natural, and he does not need a flesh body! BEWARE of the smoke and mirrors he will use.)
10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel (= the gate of god [notice small "g"]), and Erech (= length), and Accad (= to strengthen, a fortress), and Calneh (= fortress of Anu, place in the Assyrian Empire), in the land of Shinar (= country of two rivers, Babylonia, and is to be distinguished from Assyria).
11 Out of that land he (i.e. Nimrod) went forth into Asshur (= black. He invaded it), and built Ninevah (= abode of Ninus), and the city boulevards, and Calah (= old, age, completion).
12 And Resen (= bridle) between Ninevah (the competitor of Babylon as the capital of Assyria) and Calah: the same is a great city.
13 And Mizraim (= Egypt, became the name of Egypt) begat Ludim (= the Lydians) and Anamim (?), and Lehabim (= fiery, flaming), and Naphtuhim (= border-people),
14 And Pathrusim (= region of the south), and Casluhim (= fortified, out of whom came Philistim, hence the name Palestine), and Caphtorim (= a crown).
15 And Canaan begat Sidon (= Zidon = fishery, oldest Canaanite city) his firstborn, and Heth (=terror, the Hittites),
16 And the Jebusite (= threshing-floor, the founders of Jebus; afterwards Jerusalem), and the Amorite (= dwellers on the summits, mountaineers), and the Girgasite (= dwelling on the clayey soil).
17 And the Hivite (= villagers), and the Arkite (= a tush, also from Arka), and the Simite (= the northern part of Lebanon),
18 And the Arvadite (= wandering), and the Zemarite (?), and the Hamathite (= hot springs): and afterward were the families of the Canaanite spread abroad.
19 And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as you come to Gerar (=a lodging place), to Gaza (= the fortified, the strong); as you go to Sodom (= burning) and Gomorrah (= submersion), and Admah (= earthly, fortress), and Zeboim (= gazelles), even to Lasha (= fissure).
20 These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.
21 To Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber (where "Hebrew" comes from), the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were children born.
22 The children of Shem; Elam (= eternity, the mountainous district east of Babylon), and Asshur (= prosper, successful), and Arphaxed (= stronghold of the Chaldees), and Lud (= strife), and Aram (= high).
23 And the children of Aram; Uz (= wooded, the country of the Sabeans and Chaldeans and Teman near Petra), and Hul (= circle), and Gether (= fear), and Mash (= drawn out).
24 And Arphaxed begat Salah (= a sprout), and Salah begat Eber (where the name Hebrew come from = beyond = the people coming from beyond the "Flood", i.e. the Euphrates, to Canaan).
25 And to Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg (= division.); for in the days was the earth divided in judgment (God's division included Zion. Man's disruption included Babylon); and his brother's name was Joktan (= small. "The name of one Peleg was because in his days the earth was divided". Gen.10:25. 1 Chron. 1:19. In both places the word is palag = to divide or cleave.)
26 And Joktan begat Almodad (= measure), and Sheleph (=a drawing forth), and Hazermaveth (= court of death), and Jerah (= the moon),
27 And Hadoran (= noble honor), and Uzal (= separate), and Diklah (= palm grove),
28 And Obal (= stripped bare), and Abimael (= the father of Mael), and Sheba (= seven, or an oath),
29 And Ophir (= abundance), and Havilah (= circle), and Jobal (= a desert): all these were sons of Joktan.
30 And their dwellings were from Mesha (= freedom), as you go to Sephar (= a numbering) a mount of the east.
31 These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations.
32 These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.


The observation that a woman has 'child-bearing hips' is often dismissed as an old wives' tale.
But voluptuously endowed ladies really are designed by Nature for motherhood, research has revealed.
Those with a narrow waist and big bust - accentuating the hips - are significantly more fertile than others, say scientists.
They are almost three times as likely to become pregnant because of higher levels of certain hormones in their bodies.
And that is apparently the reason why men have been attracted to shapely screen sirens such as Marilyn Monroe and Sophia Loren - and today are beguiled by the likes of Kelly Brook, Jennifer Lopez and Beyonce Knowles.
Levels of fertility hormones were 37 per cent higher in women with this 'idealised' shape.
Researchers looked at 119 women and took measurements including bust, waist and hips.
They worked out a waist-to-hip ratio by dividing the waist measurement by the hip measurement.
The average for this figure was 0.72. Narrow-waisted women had an average score of 0.68.
Breast size was defined by comparing the measurement around the breast with a measurement around the abdomen, directly below the breasts. This reflects how much larger the bust is, relative to the size of the woman's body.
The average figure for this was 1.16. Large-breasted women had an average score of 1.2 on this measure.
Over several months, the scientists collected daily saliva samples from all the women, recording levels of two hormones which are key to fertility - oestradiol, a type of oestrogen, and progesterone.
At a woman's most fertile stage of the month, women who had both a belowaverage waist to hip ratio and above-average breast size, had levels of the hormone-up to 37 per cent higher than others in the study.Oestradiol levels correlate with the quality o f a woman's eggs, while progesterone is essential to the endometrium - the lining of the womb to which fertilised eggs attach.
Professor Ellison said: 'Physical characteristics, such as breast size and waist-to-hip ratio, function as important features used by human males to assess female attractiveness.
'The 37 per cent relative increase in oestradiol observed in the "narrow waist, large breasts" group could be interpreted as indicating that they would be almost three times as likely to get pregnant as other women.
Professor Ellison worked with colleagues from Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland, the University of Tromso in Norway and the Ulleval University Hospital in Norway. Their findings are reported today in the Royal Society journal, Proceedings B.
