Greater Houston possesses a hub-and-spoke limited-access highway system in which a number of freeways radiate outward from Downtown with ring roads providing connections between these radial highways at intermediate distances from the city center the city is crossed by three Interstate highways Interstate 10 Interstate 45 and Interstate 69 (commonly known as U.S Route 59) as well as a number of other United States routes and state highways Major freeways in Greater Houston are often referred to by either the cardinal direction or geographic location they travel towards Highways that follow the cardinal convention include U.S Route 290 (Northwest Freeway) Interstate 45 north of Downtown (North Freeway) Interstate 10 east of Downtown (East Freeway) Texas State Highway 288 (South Freeway) and Interstate 69 south of Downtown (Southwest Freeway) Highways that follow the location convention include Interstate 10 west of Downtown (Katy Freeway) Interstate 69 north of Downtown (Eastex Freeway) Interstate 45 south of Downtown (Gulf Freeway) and Texas State Highway 225 (La Porte or Pasadena Freeway). 8 References Mexico in 1824 Coahuila y Tejas is the northeastern-most state 1950 806,701 52.5% The Astrodome was designed by architects Hermon Lloyd & W B Morgan and Wilson Morris Crain and Anderson (Morris Architects) Structural engineering and structural design was performed by Walter P Moore Engineers and Consultants of Houston Credit for the design work on the dome roof structural goes to Dr G.R Kiewitt and Mr Louis O Bass of Roof Structures Inc it was constructed by H A Lott Inc for Harris County it stands 18 stories tall covering 9.5 acres (3.8 ha) the dome is 710 feet (220 m) in diameter and the ceiling is 208 feet (63 m) above the playing surface which itself sits 25 feet (7.6 m) below street level. 5 Marathon Oil 29 EngagementsOperations, 3.2 Mexican Army of Operations, Laporte Significant numbers of people of Cajun and Creole descent have come from Louisiana although most are assimilated partially or completely into East Texas culture (adopting the local culture and losing to varying degrees their original culture) This assimilation pattern has often historically included conversion from Catholicism to Protestant faiths United States settlers from the Protestant Southeast practiced some discrimination against Cajun and Creole migrants a cultural attitude that persisted until quite recently Despite the tendency towards assimilation Cajun and Creole cuisine (for example jambalaya and catfish gumbo) are popular in the region Many East Texans including those without Louisiana roots are known to be expert at preparing at least some well-known Louisiana dishes!

Development of SIGINT (signals intelligence) and cryptanalysis enabled the countering process of decryption Notable examples were the Allied decryption of Japanese naval codes and British Ultra a pioneering method for decoding Enigma benefiting from information given to the United Kingdom by the Polish Cipher Bureau which had been decoding early versions of Enigma before the war. Another aspect of military intelligence was the use of deception which the Allies used to great effect such as in operations Mincemeat and Bodyguard.
