My mama loves me : a child's discovery of Africa
Young Lily-Rose shares her first adventure with her mommy in Kenya. Life is not exactly as she knows it back home in Canada--in this new place, there are elephants on the road and goats as pets, mud houses and maize porridge, and no subways or even socks--but there are still games, songs, baths, and mamas who love their children.

The Idiot, by Fyodor Dostoyevsky; BOOK REVIEW
There are some movies that I've seen so often that each ensuing scene unfolds as if part of an often repeated dream and every little nuance is as familiar as the face that greets me in the mirror every morning.

Testing Techniques for Electronic Single Point Sensing Systems
In this paper, testing techniques for electronic single point frontal crash sensing systems are presented. Particular attention is paid to the algorithms used by these modules. First, a description of a new performance measure called the Crash Detector Operating Characteristic (CDOC) is given. Using the Monte Carlo crash testing technique, a quantitative definition of this measure is described. Two new ways of testing single point modules or algorithms are presented. All of these techniques and approaches lead to objective performance measures. Conclusions and recommendations are drawn from the discussion of the new measures.
