We have noted above that Atle's father moved to take up different positions so while Atle was growing up he lived in Voss, Bergen, and then in Gjovik where his father became principal of a school in 1932. Now one might expect that Atle would have learnt a lot of mathematics from his father but this does not seem to be the case. Rather it was the mathematics books that his father kept in his well-stocked library that turned Atle towards mathematics when he was a boy. At around the age of 12, when the family were living in Nesttun near Bergen, Atle attended Middle School in Bergen. He said [2]:-
For middle school I went to Bergen by train. It was rather nice in a way, sort of a commuter train that took a little over half an hour. We did a lot of school work on the train. There were quite a few students commuting like that.Atle taught himself methods of solving equations by reading the books in his father's library. In a hand-written copy that his father had of Carl Stormer's lecture notes he came across the series
... such a very strange and beautiful relationship that I determined that I would read that book in order to find out how that formula came about.However, Stormer's lecture notes began by introducing the real numbers with Dedekind cuts which baffled Selberg. However, he kept reading and found these notes inspiring. At this time it was analysis that was his main interest but his brother Sigmund suggested that he read about Chebyshev's work on the distribution of primes in his father's copy of one of J A Serret's books. Selberg was attending high school in Gjovik at this time while his brother Sigmund was a student at the University of Oslo. Selberg was about 17 years old when he came across Ramanujan's collected works which Sigmund had taken out of the university library and brought home. He was not only greatly impressed by the mathematics he read but also he was intrigued by Ramanujan's personality which he described as having "the air of mystery". Stormer had published an article about Ramanujan in the Norsk Matematisk Tidsskrift, and Selberg had read this too. Inspired by reading about Ramanujan and reading his work, Selberg turned to study number theory and began to make his own mathematical explorations. These went well and he wrote his first paper "On some arithmetical identities". This 23-page paper, written in German, was published in 1936. It is, therefore, fair to say that Selberg became a number theorist while still at high school. Mathematics wasn't the only topic that Selberg studied on his own while at high school for he also taught himself foreign languages. In fact he had started to learn English even earlier, while he was at primary school, assisted by his older sister Anna.
In 1935 Selberg graduated from the high school in Gjovik and matriculated at the University of Oslo. His brother Henrik introduced him to Stormer whose writing had already influenced him. He found Stormer ready to help the young undergraduate who had started to write mathematics papers. Another major influence on Selberg's mathematical development was a lecture by Erich Hecke at the International Mathematical Conference in Oslo in 1936. While still an undergraduate, he attended the Scandinavian Mathematical Congress in Helsinki in 1938 where he gave a 20-minute talk in a session chaired by Torsten Carleman. Majoring in mathematics, he graduated from the University of Oslo with a Master's Degree in the spring of 1939. In the following months he completed the first part of his compulsory military service. He had planned to go to Hamburg and discuss research with Erich Hecke. He had applied for a scholarship to fund this which he received, but he changed his plans because the autumn of 1939 saw the start of World War II. He would have remained in Oslo to undertake his doctoral research but the library was poor so he went to Uppsala where he attended lectures by Trygve Nagell (1895-1988) who worked on Diophantine equations. Selberg spent most of his time in Uppsala working in the library, then returned to Oslo in December 1939. However, Selberg said [7]:-
... the war came to Norway at the beginning of April 1940, and that caused an interruption of my mathematical research. I did not think about mathematics while I fought with the Norwegian forces against the German invaders in Gudbrandsdalen. We were also in the upper part of Osterdalen, and ended up near Andalsnes. I was a soldier in Major Hegstad's artillery battalion, and I held him in very high esteem. Also [I did not think about mathematics] while I was a prisoner of war at the prison camp at Trandum. When I finally was released, I travelled to the west coast of Norway, and later with my family to Hardanger.He was appointed a research fellow in 1942, the year before the award of his doctorate. His thesis, which he defended on 22 October 1943 just before the German invaders closed down the university at the end of November, was On the zeros of Riemann's zeta-function. His examiners were Harald Bohr and Thoralf Skolem but because of the war Harald Bohr, who had escaped from Denmark to Sweden, could not travel to Norway. Stormer was present at the examination reading from Harald Bohr's report. Immediately after the examination, Selberg was arrested by the Germans and put in prison but was released on condition that he left Oslo and returned to Gjovik where his parents were living. He spent the rest of the war undertaking research on the Riemann hypothesis on his own in Gjovik.
On 13 August 1947 he married the engineer Hedvig Liebermann (20.11.1919-6.7.1995) in Stockholm. Hedvig was the daughter of the furniture manufacturer Luzar Liebermann from Transylvania and Serena Sarolta Jakobovits. Atle and Hedvig Selberg had two children, Ingrid Maria Selberg (born 13 March 1950 and now married to the playwright Mustapha Matura) and Lars Atle Selberg. Shortly after marrying, the Selbergs went to the United States where Atle spent the academic year 1947-48 at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. After this year, he was offered a second year at the Institute for Advanced Study but chose to see another American University. However, to do so he had to leave the country and get a new visa. He and his wife travelled to Montreal and, with some difficulty, got new visas and returned to Princeton. Paul Erdős had arrived at the Institute while Selberg was in Canada and they met as soon as he returned. It was at this time that Selberg and Erdős arrived at an elementary proof of the prime number theorem. We say more about this below.
The following year he spent as associate professor of mathematics at Syracuse University, returning to the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton in 1949 as a permanent member. In 1951 Selberg was promoted to professor at Princeton. We note that Selberg's wife Hedvig was a researcher at the Institute for Advanced Study in the 1950s working in von Neumann's group and later at Princeton's Plasma Physics Laboratory.
In 1950 Selberg was awarded a Fields Medal at the International Congress of Mathematicians at Harvard. The Fields Medal was awarded for his work on generalisations of the sieve methods of Viggo Brun, and for his major work on the zeros of the Riemann zeta function where he proved that a positive proportion of its zeros satisfy the Riemann hypothesis. The citation also mentions his elementary proof of the prime number theorem (with P Erdős), with a generalization to prime numbers in an arbitrary arithmetic progression. The history of the prime number theorem is very interesting. The theorem states:-
In [12] Enrico Bombieri explains the source of Selberg's number theory sieve and shows that the idea of Selberg's l method and of his l 2 sieve has its origin in his work on the analytic theory of the Riemann zeta function. In this work Selberg also introduced so-called mollifiers by the l 2 method. Probably Selberg's best and most important work is his trace formula for SL2(R), which was done several years after the work for which he was awarded the Fields Medal. Selberg used his trace formula to prove that the "Selberg zeta function" of a Riemann surface satisfies an analogue of the Riemann hypothesis.
Among the many outstanding mathematical contributions Selberg has made, there is his work on:-
... the Rankin-Selberg method, the "mollifier" device in the theory of Riemann's zeta function with its deep applications to zeros on or near the critical line and with Selberg's sieve as a by-product, ... Selberg's trace formula, Selberg's zeta function, ... automorphic functions, Dirichlet series.Selberg's collected papers were published in two volumes (1989, 1991). Matti Jutila, reviewing these, writes:-
The publication of the collected papers of Atle Selberg is most warmly welcomed by the mathematical community for several reasons. First of all, the author is a living classic who has profoundly influenced mathematics, especially analytic number theory in a broad sense, for about fifty years. Secondly, his papers up to 1947, which appeared mostly in Norwegian series or journals of limited distribution and partly even during World War II, are now at last easily accessible. And thirdly, a lot of highly interesting mathematics comes into daylight via the two volumes of Selberg's collected papers ... [The work puts] one is in a position to appreciate as if from the inside the monumental architecture of the author's creative work.Selberg was one of the four editors of Axel Thue's Selected mathematical papers published in Oslo in 1977. In 1989 Selberg published Reflections around the Ramanujan centenary which is the text of a talk he gave at the conclusion of the Ramanujan Centenary Conference in January 1988 at the Tata Institute in Bombay. This tribute to Ramanujan, on the 100th aniversary of his birth, shows the important influence that Ramanujan had in Selberg's mathematical development.
Roger Heath-Brown writes about Selberg in [18] where he quotes from Selberg:-
Selberg was very modest, even about his most significant achievements, as is exemplified when he said, in 1990, 'I think the things I have done ... although sometimes there were technical details, and sometimes even a lot of calculation, in some of my early work ... the basic ideas were rather simple always, and could be explained in rather simple terms ... in some ways, I probably have a rather simplistic mind, so that these are the only kind of ideas I can work with. I don't think that other people have had grave difficulties in understanding my work.' Those who knew him will recognize not just the sentiment, but also his characteristic turn of phrase.Let us record Selberg's answer in [2] when he was asked about his hobbies:-
In my youth I was very interested in botany, and I collected a large herbarium. I don't collect plants anymore. But I'm still interested in them, and I probably know and can identify more species than most. I have collected seashells for quite a number of years.Selberg has received many distinctions for his work in addition to the Fields Medal. He shared the 1986 Wolf Foundation Prize in Mathematics with Samuel Eilenberg. The award was made to Selberg [4]:-
... for his profound and original work on number theory and on discrete groups and automorphic forms. ... In early work, Professor Atle Selberg proved that the zeros of the Riemann zeta function on the critical line have positive density. He conceived and developed the general sieve method, which has become a fundamental tool in analytic number theory. His ideas on sieves led him to his celebrated 'Selberg formula' which is the basis of his elementary proof of the prime number theorem. He discovered the trace formula, which bears his name. Out of it grew a new interaction of group representations and number theory. He initiated the study of the arithmeticity of lattices. His contributions are so deep and so many that his name is already part of the history of mathematicWe also note that when the Abel Prize was established in 2002 they gave an honorary award to Selberg [5]:-
It was decided to award an honorary prize to the renowned Norwegian mathematician Atle Selberg in recognition of his status as one of the world's leading mathematicians. His contributions to mathematics are so deep and original that his name will always be an important part of the history of mathematics.In addition to these awards, he has been elected to the Norwegian Academy of Sciences, the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. In 1987 he was named Commander with Star of the Royal Norwegian Order of St Olav.
When he reached the age of seventy, in 1987, he retired from the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton. Throughout his time at Princeton he had remained a Norwegian citizen but in the 1990s he took American nationality. His wife, Hedvig, died in July 1995. On 14 February 2003 he married Betty Frances ("Mickey") Compton (1929-). He died following a heart attack at his home in Princeton at the age of 90. After his death many tributes were paid. Two of these are recorded in [2] (and in several other articles). Peter Goddard, Director of the Institute for Advanced Study said:-
Atle's passing marks a great loss, both to the Institute and to the larger scientific community. His far-reaching contributions have left a profound imprint on the world of mathematics, and we have lost not only a mathematical giant, but a dear friend.Peter Sarnak, Eugene Higgins Professor of Mathematics at Princeton University, said:-
The 20th century was blessed with a number of very talented mathematicians, and of those, there are a few who I would say had a golden touch. In any topic about which they thought in depth, they saw further and uncovered much more - seemingly effortlessly - than the generations before them. Their work set the stage for many future developments. Atle was one such mathematician; he was a mathematician's mathematician.We end with this tribute from [20]:-
One way of characterising Atle Selberg's mathematical genius is that he had a "golden touch". In those domains he thought about in depth, he saw further than generations before him, repeatedly uncovering truths lying beneath the surface. His breakthroughs on long-standing problems were based on imaginative and novel ideas which, once digested, were appreciated as simple and decisive.

Habitat Houses as Built in Foreign Lands
After going through through the extreme poverty settlement, the path leads on to examples of Habitat building projects as they are built in various countries. These are not American McMansions. They are safe, solid homes that fit in, in the countries in which they are built.
The first country on the path is Mexico. It's a cozy block house with a courtyard and indoor plumbing.
Also in the Latin America / Caribbean area are Guatamala and Haiti.
This house in Guatamala features a block cookstove.
The Haitian house is a core house. It is designed so that the homeowner can add on to it later.
The Africa / Middle East section shows houses as built in Kenya, Botswana, Malawi, Ghana, Zambia, Uganda, South Africa, Congo, and Tanzania.
The Asia / Pacific section featured homes as built in India, Sri Lanka, and Papua New Guinea.
This house for India has built in concrete sinks and counters and laundry sinks.
I know that bathrooms are different in different parts of the world, but the extent of my "world traveling" has been the Bahamas and Germany, both of which use the same sort of plumbing we have in the USA.
In places such as Sri Lanka, they use toilets like this one. The one in the house for India is similar.
The New Guinea house is on stilts due to the monsoons there.
There is also an exhibit showing how blocks are made from local materials.
Many of the homeowners work off their equity making blocks for their houses.

What is Screen and Intervene Idaho?
Addressing Food Security: A Toolkit For Pediatricians
The Idaho Hunger Relief Task Force has partnered with The Family Medicine Residency of Idaho to implement a simple, nationally validated, two question food insecurity screening which helps doctors know which patients may need additional resources for themselves or their family. This pilot has reached over 208 households throughout the Ada County, Nampa and Caldwell area!
Why Screen Patients for Food Insecurity and Intervene?
Over 86,507 Families are Food Insecure in Idaho
17.8% of Idaho children and their families are food insecure, which increases health risks and also developmental and emotional problems in children at school.
Food insecurity significantly increases the risk for adult chronic disease, including obesity.
Many people are not aware of resources available for them.
Food insecurity happens to all types of people and may be well hidden.
Screening for food insecurity can help identify possible health issues that might be undiagnosed or interpreted incorrectly.
Intake and Referral Process:
1. Within the last 12 months we worried whether our food would run out before we got money to buy more.
Often True Sometimes True Never True Don't Know, refused
Often True Sometimes True Never True Don't Know, refused
If a patient screens positive to either question, after their consent, patients will be referred to a Care Navigator. Care Navigator's then follow up with the patient and go over additional food resources the patient might either be unaware of or needs more information on.
For further inquiries into Screen and Intervene contact:

season 2011-2012
Premier League
REVIEW. A season that was a successful one, but ultimately disappointing, as the lack of a killer instinct cost Spurs points throughout the season that could have mounted a challenge for the title, instead of scrapping for fourth place in the last few weeks. What started out horrendously, with riots in the Tottenham area causing the first game of the season (at home to Everton) to be postponed, left Spurs bottom after two games, with comprehensive beatings by both Manchester clubs including a 1-5 home defeat by City, as Luka Modric tried to sort his head out. Transfer speculation over a big money move to Chelsea was rebuffed by the club and although a figure of £40 million was mentioned, Daniel Levy had no intention of selling the midfielder. When Modric returned to play his part, he had been joined by Scott Parker and Emmanuel Adebayor, the former Arsenal striker- on loan from Manchester City. While there were no doubts about what the former West Ham midfielder brought to the side, with his gritty determination and all action style, the signing of Adebayor caused some concern among Tottenham fans. His association with Arsenal aside, he had a reputation for starting well before fading out as the season went on. However, the forward scored goals, put in a lot more effort than I thought he had done when he had played against us (even though he invariably scored against us) and was providing a lot of chances for others too. Playing catch up was no fun, but Tottenham did just that - going on an unbeaten league run from 10th September to 11th December, when a dodgy refereeing display by Chris Foy (and not Chris Hoy, who got a lot of stick from Spurs fans on Twitter) denied us two penalties and saw him send Younes Kaboul off to condemn Spurs to a defeat by Stoke. In between Spurs had been playing Europa League football with a mix of fringe first teamers and young prospects, but they fell at the first hurdle, by losing out on escaping the group thanks to a home defeat by PAOK Salonika and a couple of results that might have secured qualification. The loss at the Britannia set Tottenham off on another good run, with another defeat to City at the Etihad bringing it to an end. It was a game Spurs could easily have won, with Jermain Defoe missing a late chance when he couldn't quite reach a low cross across the face of goal. Tottenham had come back from 0-2 down with a couple of goals that were different as could be. Defoe seized on a poor header by Savic and slid home from an acute angle after rounding Hart, then Bale swept in a powerful drive from just outside the box, leaving the keeper helpless. However, another poor refereeing performance let Balotelli stay on the pitch after stamping on Parker and then the Italian was there to convert a last minute penalty to take all three points. The January transfer window saw Spurs unusually quiet. Making the loan signing of youngster Yago Falque was a strange enough signing, but with Roman Pavlyuchenko destined to leave, a regular goal-scorer was surely going to some in and there was a need for another central defender, with injuries and loans leaving us light in that area too. So what actually happened on the close of the window ? Well, the club had brought in injury prone striker Louis Saha from Everton on a virtual free transfer and then picked up free agent Ryan Nelsen, who had left Blackburn Rovers , as defensive cover. Hardly the two to get Spurs over the line and into the top three one would have thought. Was the whole mess around the Olympic Stadium and the promise of a new ground at White Hart Lane already hitting our transfer funding ? Spurs knew that another good run would be necessary to continue challenging at the top and with other clubs dropping by the wayside, it was something they had to keep going. But with February and March providing mostly opposition from the top six, it was going to be a tough period for the club. Initially, results went against form, with Liverpool holding us to a point and then Spurs hitting five past Newcastle at the Lane, but the turning point of the season came at Arsenal. Two goals up in twenty minutes without playing particularly well, it looked like Tottenham would put 11 points between the two sides, but letting two in before half-time and then three in the second half, Spurs collapsed and went on a poor run. Losing to Man U at home, despite dominating for almost an hour, losing away at Everton and then drawing at home with Stoke and away at Chelsea cost the side vital points. The run also coincided with rumours that Harry Redknapp was the favourite for the recently vacated England manager's job and the team seemed to be affected by this news. Whether that was the case or not we will never know, but there were also performances which failed to play to our strengths and may have cost us points. Games away at Man City, Everton and Liverpool all seemed to see a withdrawn Tottenham team, playing a cagey game rather than the expansive attacking style, which had taken teams apart earlier in the season. Points lost in these games might have been as much to blame. Tottenham had gone from the entertainers of the Premier League to the side who could not buy a point. Teams tried to stop them playing by packing the midfield and forgetting about scoring themselves. Others realised that if they got in the players faces, then they could have a go and come away from matches with something. While Harry Redknapp went on about the squad being limited and that he had to play the core of the team throughout the majority of the season, earlier in the campaign, it had been hinted in the media that Tottenham had the best squad in the league. Tiredness and injuries to key players at vital times affected the balance of the team, with Aaron Lennon's absence around this time hitting Spurs on their right side, while they were without Tom Huddlestone and Michael Dawson for much of the campaign and Ledley King's injuries came more often as the season progressed. March had seen Spurs field weakened sides to reach the Sixth Round of the FA Cup, but the home tie with Bolton Wanderers saw something that not anyone was prepared for. 41 minutes into the match, Fabrice Muamba was tracking back as Spurs attacked and ten yards inside his own half, he suddenly collapsed and with physios being signalled on, it looked serious. At that point, nobody realised how serious and when they started giving him cardiac massage and it went on and on and then he was defibrillated on the pitch, you feared for the young man's life. The crowd cheered on the medics and when he was stretchered off, still being given cardiac massage, you wondered whether he would survive. The only sensible thing to do was to call the game off and the crowd left in an eerie silence. The fact that Muamba made such a quick and strong recovery is a testament to the work of the medics from both clubs who saved a person's life on the pitch that evening. April was hardly a better month for the club, drawing with Sunderland and losing at home to Norwich over Easter, then getting knocked out of the FA Cup at the semi final stage at Wembley by Chelsea, including a goal that was given but had not crossed the line to add Martin Atkinson to the long list of officials who had cost us this season. I cannot wait until the bad luck we have had equals out, as we will walk the league with every other team miles behind !! Eventually, with just a few games left, Spurs did sort themselves out. But even then, it was nervy. Beating a timid Blackburn Rovers side at home was a simple task, but only brought a 2-0 win, then a 4-1 away win over relegation threatened Bolton Wanderers hinted that the attacking style was returning ... especially after being pegged back to 1-1. But then the normal service was resumed at Villa Park. A deflected goal gave the home team the lead and then Danny Rose was sent off. It was almost a microcosm of our season, with 19 corners and 21 shots at goal only bringing about one goal ... from the penalty spot. Failure to turn our chances into goals had been the Achilles heel all season and with Pavlyuchenko being allowed to leave in January and Defoe used sporadically throughout the season, Spurs were relying on goal from midfield, which didn't always arrive. So many games could have been won with a better conversion rate and those that were won could have improved our goal difference. As it was, Tottenham's season went down to the last game of the season. Having been in third position for so long, Arsenal's good string of results took them ahead of us and going into the final match of the season, they lead Spurs by one point, with Newcastle United one point behind us. A last day 2-0 win over Martin Jol's Fulham was undermined by former goalkeeper Marton Fulop, whose debut for West Bromwich Albion saw him hand Arsenal two goals to allow them to come back and win against West Bromwich Albion and squeeze Spurs into fourth by one point. That meant a week's wait until Chelsea played Bayern Munich in the Champions League final. Having finished in sixth, the Pensioners were out of the Champions League qualification places and all their hopes were pinned on being able to re-enter the competition at Tottenham's expense as defending holders of the trophy. The lack of spending the club did this year was strange when they were planning on making a push for the Champions League qualifying places again. Three free signings, plus Scott Parker for £5 million and Emmanuel Adebayor on loan. not a great outlay and it got us to our final finishing position. With a little more spent in areas that could have won us a few more points, or, indeed, some of the vital matches in this season and we could have been challenging at the very top of the table. But this is Tottenham we are talking about and we never make it easy for ourselves. So, success of a kind, but one which was diminished almost a week after the season finished, Spurs were condemned to be playing in the unpopular Europa League with almost the last kick of the club football season. The Champions League winners taking our place to defend their trophy next season despite finishing two places and five points behind us. How that would affect the players at the club and the players Spurs wanted to sign will be seen over the coming summer.
FOOTNOTE : On 14th
June 2012, Spurs terminated Harry Redknapp's contract with a year left
to run and he left the club with Joe Jordan, Kevin Bond and Clive Allen. |
RECORDS. Brad Friedel's 14 clean sheets were a club Premier League record for a season and the record was the best since 1986-87. Rafael van der Vaart equalled a Spurs Premier League record when he scored in five consecutive PL games (Wigan Athletic 24.09.11; Arsenal 02.10.11; Blackburn 16.10.11; Newcastle United 23.10.11; Queens Park Rangers 30.10.11). |
ODDITIES. Emmanuel Adebayor scored three goals in the 62nd minute of a match, with two of them being penalties - against Stoke City away and against Aston Villa away.

OK, guys,
In which phase of the turn do you reach the highest edge angle?
It might be good to use the following terms for the four phases of a turn,
as identified by PSIA, just so we're all on the same page:
1. preparation (getting set up for the turn)
2. initiation (beginning the new turn)
3. control (skiing through the fall line)
4. completion (finishing off the turn)
I'm asking because my trainer told me the highest edge angle
occurs in the control phase of the turn, at the fall line. That
came as a surprise, but I'm willing to go along with it if others
agree. I suppose if I were racing, I'd want that highest edge angle
in the fall line, not below in the completion phase of the turn,
because when it's in the completion phase it serves a braking
But really, let's get real, sometimes one wants to control one's
speed on steep terrain and higher edge angles within the completion
phase of the turn are quite functional for keeping one at manageable
speeds, not downhill olympic speeds.
Let's also assume mostly carved, or purely carved turns.

COMPOSITE BUILDING UNIT Filed June 7, 1954 @L ff /Z L Vg T r l l ATTORNEYS United States Patent Willard R. Seipt, North Wales, Pa., assigner to Ke'sbey & Mattison Company, Ambler, Pa., a corporation of Pennsylvania Filed June 7, 1954, Ser. No. 435,089
This invention relates to composite insulating and structural materials, and is particularly concerned with a hydrous calcium silicate-type building unit having both structural land insulating properties and comprising a dense and strong member with a light insulating member bonded integrally thereto.
l't s a primary object of the invention to provide a building element, useful for roofing, siding and the like, which has the structural strength necessary for such purposes, and also provides effective thermal insulation.
It is a lfurther object of the invention t'o provide a building element of the kind above described that is light in weight, but suciently strong to support heavy loads even when large units are supported at widely separated points.
My novel composite building unit' comprises two elements, each of which is similar to a known type of single building unit. Thus, the strength member may take the form of a sheet of asbestos ber bonded with Portland cement, which, in the preferred embodiment of the invention, may be corrugated. Sheets of this general kind are known and have been used for many years as roofing, siding and the like.
The insulating member of my cast hydrous calcium silicate, preferably reinforced with asbestos fibers. This material, as it known, is an extremely effective insulator and can be produced in masses of very low density having excellent insulating properties.
How the foregoing objects and others which will appear arev attained -will be more clearly understood from the detailed description which follows and from the drawings, in which Fig. 1 is a plan view of a forming frame used in practicing the invention; Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section on the line 2 2 of Fig. l; Fig. 3 is a similar longitudinal section but showing the frame adjusted to the size of a unit being formed; Fig. 4 is an enlarged cross-section taken on the line 4--4 of Fig. 3; Fig. 5 is a fragmentary section of my finished composite building unit employing a `corrugated strength mem-ber; Fig. 6 is a fragmentary section illustrating the formation of a composite buildingunit embodying an undercut end; Fig'. 7 is a fragmentary section of the building unit formed according to Fig. 6; and Fig. 8 is a fragmentary section drawn at half-size of a composite building unit employing a at strength member. 1
According to the preferred embodiment of the invention, an asbestos cement sheet, which is made up of a mix containing an excess of silica, is formed in the usual way and allowed to cure, at which time lime is released from the cement. The cured sheet is then placed in the bottom of a mold, and a water slurry of lime, asbestos liber, and silica and/or silica bearing material is poured onto the sheet in the mold to the desired depth. The moldwith the sheet and the slurry therein is then placed in an autoclave and subjected to saturated steam at a pressure of about 125 lbs. per sq. in. for about 12 hours, during which time a light-weight' mass of crystalline calcium silicate is formed from the ingredients of the slurry. At the same time, the' calcium and silica of the light- Weight layer react 'with' the free lime and silica of the dense layer, across the interface between the' sheet and building unit comprises 'tao fier Patented July 26, 1960 Ice the slurry, to form an extremely strong physical bond.
The pressure in the autoclave is then reduced gradu-- ally to atmospheric over a period of about three and a half hours, during which period the materia-l loses about its free water. The wet product is then placed in a dryer where' the remaining 72% of water is removed.
The resulting product is light, strong and: has excellent insulating properties.
It will be understood that the proportions of the v'arious ingredients of either element may be varied within the scope of the invention, and I have includedl in the description which follows examples' of different mixes which may be used.
Furthermore, the physical proportions of the building unit' may be varied, and I have tabulated hereinbelo'w the physical properties of units made up with different physical dimensions'.
In the description which follows, I will first describe the manner' in which the strength mem-bers are produced; then the formulation of the slurries which the light-weight layers are produced; and finally, the marmer in which the lightweightmaterial is formed Iintegrally with the strength member.
.The sheets are made from a water slurry including lime and! silica containing materials. A preferred mixture comprises ablend of 1.5% medium lengthl asbestos fibers, 50%' silica, and 55% Portland cement, all vby weight. The solids inthe water slurry are picked up on a. screenl and excess Water drained out. The solid material` is.- deposited on; a felt to form acontinuousI web, which. is then: transferred to a cylinder. The web is built up on the cylinder in layers until the proper thickness is attained. The accumulated web of built up 'material is then split open to form a at sheet. Corrugah'onmif desired, are roughly formed in the sheet and then' pressd -autately into shape; The pressing operation removes some of the remaining water and forms a semi-rigid product., The formed-and pressed sheets are then stacked and allowed to cure for a per-'lod'l of about a weelt.v
As best seenv in-Fig. 4, sheets 10'of about 3/a" thickness are employed and, if corrugated, the corrugations may measure about. 1.06" deep, measured perpendicularly from crown to valley, as indicated at a in Fig.. 4, and are shapedY a. distanceof 4.2" Ifrom one to the next as indicated at b in- Fig. 4e v Y 4,The lightfweightmaterial In y be made up in different densities; for example, light-weight layers of a density of 20 lbs. per cu. ft. are preparedasfollows:- p
`A- pebble quick-lime with4 an. available lime ((23.0) content ofor better and having a characteristic referred to in the lime industry as immediate slaking is used.- 255 lbs. of. such lime' are weighed` out and added slowly to 177 gallons of water under high speed agitation in a Cowles dissolver. After 20 minutesor more, the lime iscompletely hydrated and the slurry is pumped into a 6 ft. diameter Hydrapulper, whereinf the solid ingredients are dispersed and blended into a uniform suspension. This equipment comprises a tub having a horizontal rotor disk located nearv its bottom and provided with vanes attached to its upper surface. The disk rotates at high. speed producing blending by impact and by liquid attritio l To' the lime slurry -in the Hydrapulper is added 36 lbs. of pulverized light-weight material reclaimed from' previous productiom 7.5- lbs. of a medium length Canadian Chrysotile fiber (Quebec Box Test 5R` grade),` and. 85.5 gallons of water'.- This mixture is then blended for a 6 minute period. 64.5 lbs, of amosite (a long fiber variety of asbestos) fiber, grade M1, is now added and dispersed by mixing for several minutes. Prolonged agitation must be avoided to preventl excessive shortening of the Amosite ber.
103.5 lbs. of 200 mesh pulverized silica and 180 lbs. of a natural diatomaceous earth are added and mixed in by an additional 6 minutes of agitation. The lrelatively fluid slurry is then allowed to llow into a horizontal spiral bladed mixer. An additional 78 lbs. of diatomaceous earth is added in the mixer. (The addition of the last increment of diatomaceous earth is deferred until this stage because its addition in the Hydrapulper would result in a slurry too heavy for proper blending.) The slurry is turned over in the spiral mixer for about 15 minutes and is then ready for the next step of the process.
'I'he slurry 11 and the sheets 10, produced as above described, are brought together in a forming frame 12.
is equal to the desired thickness of the light-weight layer of the finished product. A dense asbestos cement sheet 10 is now placed on the bars and the angle irons drawn in snugly against the edges of the sheet as shown in Figs. 3 and 4 to reduce all gaps to Vs or less, whereby to prevent the escape of slurry. In Figs. 3 to 7, the sheet 10 is of corrugated form and in Fig. 8 I have shown a sheet 10a of flat form. The slurry 11 is then owed onto the sheet within the frame. As seen in Fig. 3, a slight excess 17 is added, pushed out to the edges of the sheet and struck off level with the top edges of the frame by screeding and/or rolling. One important precaution must be observed during this filling operation in order to produce a sound, completely bonded unit. Whenever the slurry rolls over the surface of the sheet or even over a smooth layer of previously deposited slurry, a poor bond between the slurry and sheet or between the two layers of slunry will result. The reason for this lack of adequate bonding is not fully understood, although it may be due to the fact that the surface of any slurry mass tends to be surrounded by a lm of water. So long as the force propelling the mass is small enough, the water lm remains intact on the surface and does not allow the solids within the slurry to make contact with the surface over which the slurry A is moving, thereby preventing a bond from developing between them. Apparently this Iwater film can only be broken, and thereby permit bonding to take place, by a force such as that produced by rapid changes in the ldirection of the slurry, or 'by high speed flow, producing eddy currents or turbulence. v
In order to establish good contact between the slurry and the dense sheet, high speed impingement may be used, although this is frequently impractical because of excessive splashing and loss of material. A method tion may be prevented =by owing the slur'ry out of a slot having dimensions such as to provide for depositing a solid layer of slurry on the sheet to the full depth and Width required.
After the excess has been screeded cti, the frame containing the sheet and the slurry is transferred to an autoclave where it is exposed to saturated steam at a pressure of approximately 12S lbs. per sq. in. for a period of .4 approximately 12 hours. This indurating operation causes the lime of the slurry to react with the silica and diatomaceous earth to form a hydrous calcium silicate which sets to a firm mass. In addition, the corrugated sheet completes its setting reaction. The Portland cement in the sheet during its initial curing stage has liberatedv free lime, which, during the autoclave process, reacts with the silica to give the sheet its full strength and also reacts with some of the silica in the slurry to form a bond between the two layers. Furthermore, the lime of the slurry layer reacts during the autoclaving process with the free silica of the dense layer. As a result, the bond has a strength of the order of that of the light-weight hydrous calcium silicate layer itself.
When sheets are made up of a formula containing only asbestos fibers and Portland cement-without the additiOpalrubterizrai,silica--th :ii1 f er;1 ays.r.w i-develo t i Thus, itis important that bo ee lime and free silica be available at the surfaces of both the sheet and the slurry during the autoclaving process.
insofar as the dense layer is co'ncerned, the free lime is made available by the initial setting action of the Portland cement and the free silica is made available by the inclusion in the asbestos cement of silica in an amount lequal to from 25% to 100% of the weight of cement, with a preferred value in the neighborhood o'f 55%.
Insofar as the light-weight material is concerned, any suitable hydrous calcium silicate formula may be employed, since both lime and silica in unreacted form will be available during the autoclaving action.
It will be understood, of course, that the density and other properties of the hydrous calcium silicate layer may be varied within wide limits without departing from the invention. The products whose physical properties are described herebelow include composite units made with light-weight layers of two different densities, namely, 20 lbs. per cu. ft. and 26 lbs. per cu. ft. The composition of the 20 lb. material was given above in the description of the formulation of the slurry, but is repeated herebelow to afford a comparison between the 20 and 26 lb. compositions:

` reaction, holds the crystals of hydrous calcium silicate apart so vthat a microporous structure is developed'. When a large excess of water is used, the volume of the micropores makes up a large percentage of the total volume of the hydrous calcium silicate mass. During the drying operation, the water contained in the pores is Ydriven off, leaving a light-weight microporous structure Other acteurs '5 in which the micropores constitute from about 75% to 95 of the total volume of the mass.
The lower limit on the densities of the light-weight layer is determined by the tendency o'f the solids to settle out of thin slurres. Settling is prevented by the presence of bulky constituents, such as diatomaceous earth and asbestos fibers. For densities above about 40 lbs., neither is necessary. In the range 40 to 20 lbs., the asbestos liber may be omitted if the ratio of diatomaceous earth to silica is increased above that of the examples set forth hereinabove. It is diiiicult to obtain densities below about 20 lbs. without including some asbestos iber n the composition.
The percentage of the total volume of the hydrous calcium silicate made up of the micropores for the several densities is as follows:
Density, pounds Percentage of total volume per cu. ft. occupied by micropores Percent Hydrous calcium silicate 60 Hydrous calcium aluminate Fiber `14 vSilica 16 5 The density of the hydrous calcium silicate ofthe v*dense layer is also determined by the amount o'f excess Water contained in the dense element at the time of resheet; and sheets in which the micropores co'nstitute from :about 30% to 35% of thetotal volume are useful for purposes of this invention' and will be found to have good structural strength characteristics.
It will be understood that the denser element of my structural unit may be made from other lime-and-silicacontaining materials. For example, both elements may be made up in the manner above described in connection with the production of the insulating element. Thus, a composite structural unit may be made up of a 40-density lelement and a l-density element. All compo'site units made in accordance with the invention, however, are characterized by the fact that both elements of the nished product contain large amounts of hydrous calcium silicate, that the two elements are integrally bonded by the formation of hydro'us calcium silicate across the interface between them, and that the volume of at least one of the units is largely made up of micropores formed by setting in the presence of excess water.
The size and weight of the composite unit of my invention may be varied as desired. For most purposes, the optimum combination of weight and dimensions should provide the largest possible area of coverage with adequate load bearing capacity, maximum insulation value, and a weight low enough to enable the unit to be handled easily. A unit meeting these requirements is made up o'f a corrugated dense layer 3/1" in thickness with a hydrous calcium silicate layer of 20 lbs. density'applied to give an overall thickness c in Fig. 5 of 2%. This unit is made up with a width of 42" and a length of 41/2' or 6.
For some purposes, it is desirable to provide an undercut edge or end, i.e., to produce a unit in which the dense layer is longer .and/or wider than the light-weight layer. Most desirably, the unit is made up with a 6" undercut at one end as shown at 18 in Fig. 7. &1ch
It will be seen from the above that the light-weight 6 a1 unit is produced by applying a damming wall 19 (Fig. 6) across the sheet as it lies within the forming frame, at the point at which the undercut is to start. When corrugated sheets are used, the damming wall is, of course, provided with a lower surface which mates with the corrugations of the sheet.
Composite building units made in accordance with the invention have outstanding properties, particularly light.- ness, insulating qualities, and load bearing characteristics.
Wistenl made with a 9a" thick corrugated sheet having a layer of 20 density hydrous calcium silicate integrally bonded thereto by the process above described, and a thickness overall of 2%, my building unit has a bone ltiry'weight of 6.5- lbs. per sq. ft. Thus, a full size sheet of 6' long byv 42" wide is easily carried by two men.
The highly desirable thema] properties of the building unit of the invention are brought out in the table just below in which the insulating properties of various materials are expressed in terms of U, a factor which is a measure of the amount of heat 'per hour in B.t.u.s that will tlow through one square foot of a structural wall or roof for every degree Fahrenheit difference in temperature from one side of the wall or roof to the other.

hydrous calcium silicate layer contributes most' of the resistance of the composite unit to the iiow of heat, and that the lower density material has better insulating properties than the denser material.
In spite of its lightweight and its good insulating properties, the composite -unit has excellent load bearing characteristics. The data which follows hereinbelow were obtained by supporting the dried units with the corrugated surface (except in Example 4) resting on two rounded Y bearing edges extending across the full 4 width of the sheet, near each end, and separated by the indicated distances. On top of the unit, resting on the surface of the light-weight hydrous calcium silicate layer, two additional rounded bearing edges were placed, also extendingacross the full Width of the unit and supporting a platform upon which the test load was applied. The distances between these second bearing edges was Va of that of the span between the bearing edges upon which the sheet itself was supported. Each of the upper bearing edges was located '/s of the span from the nearest lower bearing edge. Loads were placed on the platform in increments until the sheet broke. 'Ihe thickness of the corrugated sheets was BA1" in all examples.

1 Calculated.
It will be seen from the above table that, depending upon the thickness and density of the light-weight layer, the strength of the unit is at least double, and in one case more than triple, the strength of the corrugated sheet alone, despite the fact that the light-weight unit alone is relatively weak. Other tests have shown that where the bond in the interface was poor, the components separated completely upon bending under relatively small loads and the breaking load was not much in excess of the corrugated sheet alone. It is thus clear that the load bearing characteristics of the composite element are related directly to the adequacy of the inter-layer bond. It is also clear from a comparison of Example 4 with Example 3 that the best result is obtained when the dense layer is under tension and the light-weight layer under compression.
The composite units of my invention may be applied and secured to the structural frame of a building in accordance with practices currently employed with similar materials. For flat roof decking, 6' long units may be laid on beams with the corrugated surface facing downward. 'I'he beams are spaced on 6' centers with the ends of two consecutive units butting against a row of studs secured along the center of the top surface of the beam. Grouting is applied between the units around the studs to hold the units in place, and the roof is finished oli. by applying a 'built up roofing layer.
For sloping roofs, 4%' units are used. The sheets are laid with the corrugated surfaces exposed to the weather, that is, on the upper side. The top edge of the composite unit rests on a beam. The beams are spaced at 4 foot intervals so that the lower edge of the sheet member, which is undercut by 6", will lap over the next lower unit. Each sheet is anchored to the beams by standard fasteners. The edges of adjacent sheets may meet in butt joints sealed by stripping applied over them or by providing an undercut and overlapping the sheets for a distance of one corrugation.
The application for side walls is similar to that for sloping roofs.
Among the advantages of the invention are the following: i
The product is -far lighter in weight per unit area than other composite units or built up constructions having similar strengths and insulating values.
The product is stronger than the plain asbestos-cement corrugated sheets which have been used for many years, and, when it is applied with the corrugated face downwa-rd, is more than double that of plain corrugated sheets, having a strength, depending upon the span of the supporting structure, of up to 200 lbs. per sq. ft. or more.
Because of its low weight and high strength, the material may be handledin large sheets, thus lowering application coats. In addition, the low weight per unit area reduces the amount of structural steel work required.
The insulating value of the material is so high that,l for most building purposes, no additional insulation is necessary.
l'he product is completely fire-proof. Neither the structural component nor the insulating layer nor the bond will burn.
The product has a pleasing appearance and requires no surface preparation after erection.

Bass Season is Coming
Get the Visitors Guide & More!

By Don Gasaway
As spring approaches, southern Illinois anglers are looking forward to catching some lunker bass. Williamson County becomes bass central in the spring as anglers turn their attention to the lakes of the area.
Bass fishing is like putting together one of those puzzles that you get for Christmas and spend the next year trying to figure out the solution.
In bass fishing it is one area at a time, one fish at a time, one strike at a time and one cast at a time.
Mother Nature has a way of undoing everything you have figured out. In the blink of an eye she can change the entire situation. The change can come in the form of a big rain, big wind, a change of water conditions, or a cold front. If the weather is stable you will probably do very well.
Certain conditions are more important than others. In spring you want a long sustained warming trend. You want the cold fronts to come in and stimulate the fish to start feeding as the water cools.
Change is important but you want a positive change. If you get a negative change, like several days of warm weather followed by several days of cold weather it hurts your pattern. Wind and rain sometimes can destroy what you are doing.
In the spring fish are easier to locate because they are going to migrate to shallow water. They do not scatter over the lake but rather move to tight groups on little key spots. Without finding a key place, you might not get a bite all day. If you find those places it may be the easiest time to catch fish because of their being concentrated.
Bass are often in staging areas. A staging area is usually the first deep water off a spawning flat. Bass try to go shallow, they hit a cold front and they pull back to the staging area. As the weather warms they try it again. It is often back and forth, back and forth. They repeat this action for a few days or even a few weeks. When the water gets the right clarity and temperature the fish will move up and spawn.
In the post-spawn period the process reverses and they move back off the beds. Bass do not all spawn at the same time. There will be waves of fish on and off the spawning beds. There will be two and sometimes three waves of fish.
When they move back deep bass begin relating to structure and cover. You have to play it by ear. Let the fish tell you what they are doing. Try to keep an open mind and maintain a flexible pattern.
Look at the water first. Water clarity is important in lure selection and line size. Determine what portion of the lake will have clear water and what portion might have stained water.
Pay attention to the temperature of the water. It will help you identify what the bass are doing.
What is the predominant cover where you find fish? It can be wood or grass. If grass, what kind is it? You just try to dissect the lake as to what cover is available.
Bass fishing is a puzzling experience.

Remember this post? Well, the thing is finally done! Six months later, it's finished, totally wearable and wonderfully comfortable :) I redid both straps and body completely, but I love the new fabric for the body so it was well worth it :) Now I just have to hope that Anya will learn to sit in it still for more than 10 minutes... Actually, I was surprised at how well she did last night while I wore her in this MT at Noodles & Co. She only got mad when I sat at the table to eat and she realized she couldn't grab the food off my plate, hehe :)
