A person with autism or some other mental disability who is exceptionally gifted in a highly specialized field, such as math (rapid mental calculation) or music (ability to play a complex piece of music after hearing it only once).
This term is now outdated. Autistic savant is the current term.
Etymology
From French, literally learned idiot. Usage

HOW TO WRITE A REPORT.
Writing Reports
Using the business report format
Imagine this scenario: You're a busy, upper-level manager, and you supervise several junior managers. Every quarter, each member of your managerial team has to give you a written report on his or her department's progress. This report details profits, costs, productivity, and recommendations for the next quarter.
Reading all of these reports takes days, but what's even more frustrating is that they're all completely different. Some of your managers put the data and statistics right at the beginning, while others use appendices at the end. Some don't include an executive summary, or a section with details about recommendations for the next quarter. This means you have to spend extra time trawling through each report to find the information you really need.
How can you reduce the time you spend looking through all of the reports for important information? And how can you make sure that the reports you submit are read, digested, and understood? Readers would probably find what they need in half the time if everyone simply followed the same format.
This is why a standard format - often called the Business Report Format - has been developed over the years. In this article, we discuss why it's helpful to use this standard format, and then we'll outline what the format is.
Why the Format Is Important
One of the most important reasons to follow a standard Business Report Format is that people reading your report don't usually have a lot of time. Very few, if any, will read every word of your report from start to finish. However, using a clear, standard format allows readers to find the information they need quickly and easily - and skip what they don't need.
Following a standard format also helps you organize all the relevant information. The content of a report can be overwhelming, especially when you have a lot of data. This format ensures that your information follows logical steps that readers will be able to follow and understand more easily. You won't forget anything either, because the format provides you with the appropriate structure.
The Business Report Format
Here are the main components of this standard format:
1. Title Page (or Title Section)
Include the report name, author name, and date. It's also a good idea to include the reason for reading the report. That way, you can make the connection in the reader's mind to the problems or opportunities facing them. If your report is longer, your title section could also include a table of contents.
2. Executive Summary
Keep this to a maximum of one page. Summarize the problem you're trying to solve, list the most important information or results, and detail any action steps that you recommend.
For many people, this is the only page they'll have time to read. It's therefore a good idea to write it as though it's a separate report, all on its own. Use bullets and numbered lists to highlight important points.
3. Methodology
Describe the methods you used in your research to reach your conclusions. For example, did you talk with focus groups, conduct interviews, search the company archives, or use outside resources like consulting or research firms? Include the details of your research process, and explain why you used the sources you did.
4. Introduction
Tell readers why they need to read this report, and give a very brief overview of what you're going to cover in the main body of the report.
5. Main Body
This is the 'heart' of your report. Present your research, and make your case - and remember to put the most important information first.
6. Conclusion
Analyze the results of your research, and bring everything together. Many people will read this section, so keep it short and simple.
7. Recommendations
List the actions you think readers - or the company - should take to solve the problem you're addressing. Ideally, use bullets or numbered points for this list.
This is another highly read section, so be very clear about your opinion. You've done the research, so tell people what needs to happen next. If you suggest major changes, then create a strategy to implement these larger changes on a step-by-step basis.
8. Appendix
Include all of your sources and research information in detail. Few people read the appendix carefully, but this is the information that supports your arguments, so it must be included.
Report Tips
Here are some additional suggestions for writing effective, well-organized reports:
* Understand your objectives - Before you begin researching or writing, make sure you clearly understand why you're writing the report - and who will read it.
* Use a relaxed style - If possible, keep your writing style fairly informal and easy to read. Be professional, but always keep your readers in mind. If you write the way you speak, they'll probably have an easier time understanding what you're trying to tell them.
* Keep it concise - Remember, people typically don't have much time. Aim to keep your sentences short and clear.
* Use sources and data - Use statistics, and quote sources whenever you can. People tend to trust numbers more than opinions.
* Organize your text with clear headings - Break up your text with headings and subheadings. This makes reading easier, and it allows people to find the information that's most relevant to them.
* Start with the most important information - In every section of your report, put the most important information first. Again, remember that most people don't have lots of time. Tell them what they need to know as quickly as possible.
* Keep 'backup' information - Once you've done your initial research, you'll probably have a lot more information than you really need. This means that you'll have to go through all that data to determine what needs to go in your report. Be careful not to 'cherry-pick' data: don't choose just what you like, or what supports your objective. Keep records of every piece of information you include (and what you don't include), just in case you're asked to defend your findings.
* Do at least two drafts - the first draft of your report will get across your meaning. In the second draft, you can refine and polish the way you've expressed it.
Key Points
Following a standard Business Report Format makes it easier for the people reading your report to find what they need quickly. They'll know which sections will answer their questions, and they'll clearly see your recommendations. For people who are in a hurry, this is an absolute necessity.

Su Doku
Su Doku is usually played on a 9 by 9 board, divided into 3 by 3 cells. You can generalize this into playing on an M×M square board broken into non-overlapping rectangular cells, each containing M squares (an obvious question is to how define a puzzle where M is a prime number). The solution of the puzzle is to place M symbols on the board such that each row, column or cell contains each symbol exactly once, without moving the initial clues. Puzzles with M<9 are called Sub Dokus, those for M>9 are called Super Dokus.

Mobile Phone Disadvantage #5 – Driving Safety
Much of the information presented in the previous articles is being debated and not acted upon by the industry or by governments; however the increased risk that mobile phones pose to driving is clear-cut and widely acknowledged.
A simple Google search will show hundreds of studies on the subject of mobile phone use and driving. All the studies I have seen agree that mobile phone use while driving increases the risk of an accident. This increased risk is due to the inability to fully focus on driving while, and shortly after, talking on a mobile phone.
In a study titled ‘Epidemiological evidence on health risks of cellular telephones’, Dr Rothman states:
…the risk of a collision was about four times greater when the driver was using the telephone or soon after a call. Use of the telephone in “hands-free’ mode was no less risky than holding the telephone to the ear with one hand while talking.[1]
A Canadian study performed by the University of Calgary states:
…conversation on cell phones, both hand-held and handsfree, was found to influence driving performance. Epidemiological findings consistently showed an increase in crashes associated with use of cell phones.[2]
One could argue that talking to a passenger poses the same risk as talking on a mobile phone, but this is not the case. A likely explanation is that a passenger takes the traffic situation into account, something impossible for someone on the other side of a mobile phone conversation.
Another study titled ‘Fatal distraction? A comparison of the cell-phone driver and the drunk driver’ compared the performance of mobile-phone drivers to drivers who were legally intoxicated. This study concludes:
…when controlling for driving difficulty and time on task, cell-phone drivers may actually exhibit greater impairments (i.e., more accidents and less responsive driving behavior) than legally intoxicated drivers. These data also call into question driving regulations that prohibit hand-held cell-phones and permit hands-free cell-phones, because no significant differences were found in the impairments to driving caused by these two modes of cellular communication.[3]
In fact, many governments have banned the use of a mobile phone while driving due to its safety risks. An up-to-date list with countries and US states that have banned mobile phone use while driving can be found here.
Another interesting development is the changing legal implications for causing an accident when using a mobile phone. The following is an excerpt from a online New Jersey newspaper:
A motorist using a hand-held cell phone who causes a fatal accident could be charged with vehicular homicide if one state lawmaker gets her way. …Causing the death of another by driving a motor vehicle “recklessly” is the legal standard for filing a vehicular homicide charge in New Jersey. It is punishable by five to 10 years in prison and/or a $150,000 fine, according to Karrow’s bill.[4]
If the increased risk of an accident is not enough of an incentive to stop you from using a mobile phone when driving, or if your employer does not leave you a choice, then consider this: International Paper Co. is a company that agreed to pay $5.2 million to settle a personal injury suit related, at least in part, to one of its employees’ use of a cell phone while driving.[5]
In conclusion, the increased risk that mobile phones pose to driving is clear-cut and widely acknowledged.
You owe it to yourself, your family, your passengers and your fellow road users to be a safe driver. Being a safe driver means not using a mobile phone while driving.

Handphone has become indispensable gadget, an absolute necessity for both adults and children. Like every other invention of man, whether or not to allo the use of handphones in Malaysian schools is not an easy yes-or- no issue. This is the dilemma of the authorities.
If properly used, the handphone can bring more benefits than harm especially to children. When television first made its debut in the 1960s, everybody imagined that it would have a negative effect on children. Parents fret over their children's addiction to the 'idiot box' and the neglect of their studies. Their fears were unfounded as they soon found that if strictly contolled, the television was as harmless as the radio or the gramophone.
In more recent times, the same anxiety greeted the advent of computers, especially the Internet. Today, the Internet has becomean essential tool and we cannot imagine a life without computers. Like the computers, the handphone has many advantages, while an abuse of it can have disastrous results. Handphones are useful tools of communication. Parents and children can keep in touch with each other and any last mintue change of plans can be conveyed easily without any trouble to either party. Some children however, cite this as a loss of privacy as parents will have a 24-hour access to their children
Parents say the handphone is more than a convenience-it is an essential item that can function as a tracker divece. With it they can monitor their children and check on their whereabouts via satelite. Thus, from whereevr they are, paretns can ensure the safety of thier children and avoid incidents like kidnapping and such crimes.
Education Ministry officials, school authorities and many parents believe that allowing handphones in schools would only widen the disparity between the haves and the have-nots among students. Handphones come in a variety of shapes, colours and function:from generic ones to highly sophisticated ones that double up as camers, video cameras and palm tops. Not every child in school comes from middle or upper class families that can afford to buy each child a handphone. The self esteem of children who do not own a handphone or who possess a basic one wii be affected. Low esteem among students would cause a rift among children. Cliques, jealousy and rivalry would result. This unhealthy situation should not be nurtured in a school. Instea, the school environment should promote equal opprotunities and equal treatment.
Another reason for the strong outcry against allowing studentsto bring handphones to school is the distraction it poses. SMSes, games and ringing tones are some of the distractors that take the students' attention away from the lesson. Children being children will not be able to resist the temptation of answering calls and sending messages when they should be listening to the teacher or classes, the games available on the phone is something the students would resort to after classes to overcome boredom.
Apart from diverting student's attention, the handphones can threathen the validity of school examinations. Students may cheat durin examinations via text messages. Information or answers can be passed from one student to the next while examiners may be totally oblivious of the cheating that happen.
Finally, even adults find it hard to exercise social etiquette and discretion in the use of handphones, therefore children cannot be expected to do any better. Despite explicit messages in movies threatres, at meetings and at formal meetings, we still hear phones ringing away. School administrators and discipline teachers would find it difficult to to effectively prohibit students from using their phones during lessons.
If Ministry of Education lifts the ban on handphones, schools may come up with new rules or guidelines to control the use of the handphone. Inevitably, teacher will be burdened with the task of monitoring the use and misuse of the handphone. All this is additional stress for teachers who are already loaded with heavy responsibilities. The Malaysian school system has thrived so far even with handphones being banned from schools. Why sudden change of heart?

connotative and denotative meaning
Connotative vs. Denotative Vocabulary
Words are not limited to one single meaning. Most words have multiple meanings, which are categorized as either denotative or connotative. The denotation of a word is its explicit definition as listed in a dictionary. Let’s use the word “home” as an example. The denotative or literal meaning of “home” is “ a place where one lives; a residence.” Hint: Denotation, denotative, definition, and dictionary all start with the letter ‘D.

What is BOOLEAN SEARCH ?
What is Boolean Search?Boolean searches allow you to combine words and phrases using the words AND, OR, NOT and NEAR (otherwise known as Boolean operators) to limit, widen, or define your search. Most Internet search engines and Web directories default to these Boolean search parameters anyway, but a good Web searcher should know how to use basic Boolean operators.
