Exploring New Paths

The need to explore is central to human nature. We want to know what's around the next corner and our thirst for knowledge never dies. That is why we are overjoyed here at Alte to have received so many interesting articles on so many different topics. We have truly enjoyed learning about so many new things, and we hope our readers will feel the same.
We truly appreciate all of you; readers and writers alike. Thank you so much for making the  Alte what it is.

We hope you will enjoy this issue, and that you will never lose your love of learning new things and exploring new paths. As always, we would of course love to hear any comments and feedback you may have. If you wish to contact us, you can do so through e-mail or by the handy little form at the bottom of this page. On behalf of the Alte staff, we hope you enjoy this Issue, and all of which to come.
