Tradition has it that the first Europeans to see the springs were the Spanish explorer Hernando deSoto and his troops in 1541. French trappers, hunters, and traders became familiar with the area in the late-l7th century. In 1803 the United States acquired the area when it purchased the Louisiana Territory from France, and the very next year President Thomas Jefferson dispatched an expedition led by William Dunbar and George Hunter to explore .....

.... innovative cars. They take easily to tuning, and last a long time. Tuned German cars have been known to be some of the best handling cars in the world, typified by the company Porsche. Using somewhat lighter cars, they can corner at frighteningly high speeds. It often takes a very professional, and brave, driver to extract anything near full potential from them. The V6 is the engine of choice here, with turbocharging being the number one choice for forced induction. Superchargers and nitrous are not typically found on German cars, though they have been known to be installed. T .....

.... X-ray crystallography is a science with the repeating arrangements of identical objects as found in nature, sound familiar? Of course! This is very similar to the definition of tessellation. Interestingly, the discoveries made with x-ray crystallography during the mid-20th century are similar to many of the discoveries the artist M. C. Escher made while designing for his tessellated artwork. Several other scientific studies have been found for tessellations. For an example, tiling research has helped the usage of material and reduced the use of scrap metal. How? The closer .....

Say to him, 'YHVH, the God of the Hebrews, sent me to you to say, "Let my people go, so that they may worship me in the wilderness." But until now you have not listened.'
