The format used for Garmin maps has, in effect, a maximum size, meaning that you have to split an.osm file that contains large well mapped regions into a number of smaller tiles. This program does that. There are at least two stages of processing required. The first stage is to calculate what area each tile should cover, based on the distribution of nodes. The second stage writes out the nodes, ways and relations from the original.osm file into separate smaller.osm files, one for each area that was calculated in stage one. With option keep-complete=true, two additional stages are used to avoid broken ways and polygons.
The two most important features are:
- Variable sized tiles so that you don't get a large number of tiny files.
- Tiles join exactly with no overlap or gaps.
You will need a lot of memory on your computer if you intend to split a large area. A few options allow to configure how much memory you need. With the default parameters, you need about 4-5 bytes for every node and way. This doesn't sound a lot but there are about 1700 million nodes in the whole planet file and so you cannot process the whole planet in one pass file on a 32 bit machine using this utility as the maximum java heap space is 2G. It is possible with 64 bit java and about 7GB of heap or with multiple passes.
The Europe extract from Cloudmade or Geofabrik can be processed within the 2G limit if you have sufficient memory. With the default options europe is split into about 750 tiles. The Europe extract is about half of the size of the complete planet file.
On the other hand a single country, even a well mapped one such as Germany or the UK, will be possible on a modest machine, even a netbook.
Download from the splitter download directory
The source code is available from subversion: at _URL_
Splitter requires java 1.7 or higher. Run the following. If you have less than 2G of memory on your computer you should reduce the -Xmx argument
java -Xmx2000m -jar splitter.jar file.osm > splitter.log
This will produce a number of.osm.pbf files that can be read by mkgmap. There are also other files produced:
The template.args file is a file that can be used with the -c option of mkgmap that will compile all the files. You can use it as is or you can copy it and edit it to include your own options. For example instead of each description being "OSM Map" it could be "NW Scotland" as appropriate.
The areas.list file is the list of bounding boxes that were calculated. If you want you can use this on a subsequent call the the splitter using the --split-file option to use exactly the same areas as last time. This might be useful if you produce a map regularly and want to keep the tile areas the same from month to month. It is also useful to avoid the time it takes to regenerate the file each time (currently about a third of the overall time taken to perform the split). Of course if the map grows enough that one of the tiles overflows you will have to re-calculate the areas again.
The areas.poly file contains the bounding polygon of the calculated areas. See option --polygon-file how this can be used.
The densities-out.txt file is written when no split-file is given and contains debugging information only.
You can also use a gzip'ed or bz2'ed compressed.osm file as the input file. Note that this can slow down the splitter considerably (particularly true for bz2) because decompressing the.osm file can take quite a lot of CPU power. If you are likely to be processing a file several times you're probably better off converting the file to one of the binary formats pbf or o5m. The o5m format is faster to read, but requires more space on the disk.
There are a number of options to fine tune things that you might want to try.
- A comma separated list of boundary tag values for relations. This is used in the gen-problem-list phase to filter relations, see also keep-complete. The filter is applied to relations with
type=boundary and type=multipolygon. The default value "use-exclude-list" means that splitter uses a hard-coded exclude list containing the values "administrative", "postal_code", and "political". So, by default, a relation that has a boundary=administrative tag will not be added to the generated problem list. If you overwrite the default value, you have to specify one or more values that are used as an include list, e.g. --boundary-tags=national_park,protected_area. Boudary relations that are not added to the generated problem list may be incomplete if they cross tile borders. The default setting assumes that you use precompiled bounds in mkgmap. If you use option --location-autofill without option --bounds in mkgmap, make sure to use --boundary-tags=administrative,postal_code and add those tags that you use in your style file.
- Deprecated, now does nothing.
- Sets the desciption to be written in to the template.args file.
- The name of a GeoNames file to use for determining tile names. Typically cities15000.zip from geonames
- Use keep-complete=false to disable two additional program phases between the split and the final distribution phase (not recommended). The first phase, called gen-problem-list, detects all ways and relations that are crossing the borders of one or more output files. The second phase, called handle-problem-list, collects the coordinates of these ways and relations and calculates all output files that are crossed or enclosed. The information is passed to the final dist-phase in three temporary files. This avoids broken polygons, but be aware that it requires to read the input files at least two additional times.
Do not specify it with --overlap unless you have a good reason to do so.
- Set the filename for the split files. In the example the first file will be called 63240001.osm.pbf and the next one will be 63240002.osm.pbf and so on.
- The maximum number of areas that can be processed in a single pass during the second stage of processing. This must be a number from 1 to 4096. Higher numbers mean fewer passes over the source file and hence quicker overall processing, but also require more memory. If you find you are running out of memory but don't want to increase your --max-nodes value, try reducing this instead. Changing this will have no effect on the result of the split, it's purely to let you trade off memory for performance. Note that the first stage of the processing has a fixed memory overhead regardless of what this is set to so if you are running out of memory before the areas.list file is generated, you need to either increase your -Xmx value or reduce the size of the input file you're trying to split.
- The maximum number of nodes that can be in any of the resultant files. The default is fairly conservative, I think you could increase it quite a lot before getting any'map too big' messages. I've not experimented much. Also the bigger this value, the less memory is required during the splitting stage.
- The maximum number of threads used by splitter. Default is auto.
- Specify this if the input osm file has nodes, ways and relations intermingled or the ids are not strictly sorted. To increase performance, use the osmosis sort function.
- Don't trim empty space off the edges of tiles. This option is ignored when --polygon-file is used.
- A target value that is used when no split-file is given. Splitting is done so that the given number of tiles is produced. The max-nodes value is ignored if this option is given. Added with r323.
- The format in which the output files are written. Possible values are xml, pbf, o5m, and simulate. The default is pbf, which produces the smallest file sizes. The o5m format is faster to write, but creates around 40% larger files. The simulate option is for debugging purposes.
- The directory to which splitter should write the output files. If the specified path to a directory doesn't exist, splitter tries to create it. Defaults to the current working directory.
- Deprecated since r279. With keep-complete=false, splitter should include nodes outside the bounding box, so that mkgmap can neatly crop exactly at the border. This parameter controls the size of that overlap. It is in map units, a default of 2000 is used which means about 0.04 degrees of latitude or longitude. If --keep-complete=true is active and --overlap is given, a warning will be printed because this combination rarely makes sense.
- The name of a file containing a bounding polygon in osmosis polygon file format. Splitter uses this file when calculating the areas. It first calculates a grid using the given --resolution. The input file is read and for each node, a counter is increased for the related grid area. If the input file contains a bounding box, this is applied to the grid so that nodes outside of the bounding box are ignored. Next, if specified, the bounding polygon is used to zero those grid elements outside of the bounding polygon area. If the polygon area(s) describe(s) a rectilinear area with no more than 40 vertices, splitter will try to create output files that fit exactly into the area, else it will approximate the polygon area with rectangles.
- The name of a directory or zip file containing

A rarely-seen young Nabarlek, found curled up in his mother's pouch after she was killed by a car, has taken up residence at Australia's Perth Zoo. Nabarleks are also known as Pygmy Rock Wallabies.
Named Norbert, he is the only Nabarlek in a zoo anywhere, according to the Perth Zoo.
Norbert was discovered by a wildlife rehabilitator, who provided care for several months. At the time Norbert was taken in, he weighed just 6.5 ounces (186 grams). Because he doesn't have the skills to survive in the wild, Norbert was brought to the Perth Zoo where he will become a pint-sized ambassador for this little-known species.
Perth Zoo Director of Animal Health and Research Dr. Peter Mawson said adult Nabarleks are only about 12 inches (30 cm) tall. They are rarely seen because they inhabit remote areas and emerge only at night to feed on ferns and reeds.
Nabarleks are in the macropod family of marsupials, which includes kangaroos and wallabies. "An interesting feature is that because of the tough nature of the plants included in their diet, the four or five molar teeth in each section of the jaw progressively move forward during the Narbalek's life, ensuring that it is never without the teeth it needs to chew its tough food. Narbaleks are the only macropod that do this," said Dr. Mawson.
Guests can meet Norbert starting this weekend at the Perth

Translation - of a polygon
From Latin: translatus - "carried over,"
Moving a figure to a new location with no other changes.
Drag any orange dot to reshape the left (yellow) original figure. Drag the image (right, gray) to translate it to a new location.
To translate a figure is to simply slide it somewhere else. But in the move, you may not change the figure in any other way. You cannot rotate
it, resize it, or flip it over. You may only slide it side to side, up and down.
In the diagram above,the original object is the yellow one on the left. By translating it up and to the right, we get the gray object on the right.
This is called the translated "image" of the original. Notice the vertices of the original are labelled A,B etc.
By convention, the corresponding vertices of the image are labelled A' B' etc.
The small dash after the letter is called a 'prime' so the vertices are pronounced "A prime, B prime" and so on.
Properties of translated objects
The original object and its image are
- identical in every respect except for their position.
in the original to the corresponding vertex in the image are
In the diagram above, click on "show distances" and note that the segment AA' is congruent and parallel to BB' etc.
A way to remember
A way to remember what translation means is "tranSLate means SLide"
Things to try
In the diagram above - click'reset'
In the yellow figure on the left, drag any vertex to reshape it. Note how the translated image on the right changes to match.
The image is merely moved, but otherwise matches the original in every respect.
Drag the gray image on the right. Notice that the image remains an exact copy of the original except for its location on the plane.

4.6. Known limitations of using GPUs
If you use deepmd-kit in a GPU environment, the acceptable value range of some variables are additionally restricted compared to the CPU environment due to the software's GPU implementations:
The number of atom type of a given system must be less than 128.
The maximum distance between an atom and it's neighbors must be less than 128. It can be controlled by setting the rcut value of training parameters.
Theoretically, the maximum number of atoms that a single GPU can accept is about 10,000,000. However, this value is actually limited by the GPU memory size currently, usually within 1000,000 atoms even at the model compression mode.
The total sel value of training parameters(in model/descriptor section) must be less than 4096.
The size of the last layer of embedding net must be less than 1024 during the model compression process.

The one sentence summary
Many organisations are caught up in a stupidity paradox: they employ smart people who end up doing stupid things.
- Why do smart people do stupid things at work? Welcome to the idea of functional stupidity. It can be catastrophic for companies, or just manifest itself in absurd everyday examples of idiotic, unsustainable management fads and daft working practices.
- And yet a dose of stupidity can be useful and produce good, short-term results, nurturing harmony, and encouraging people to get on with things without questioning everything.
- Functional stupidity has three main facets:
- Not thinking about your assumptions (absence of reflexivity)
- Not asking why you are doing something (justification)
- Not considering the consequences or wider meaning of your actions (substantive reasoning)
- There are five main types: Leadership-induced, Structure-induced, Imitation-induced, Branding-induced, and Culture-induced.
- Managers encourage it by using authority, seduction, naturalisation and opportunism. It helps to stamp out negative capability – the ability to tolerate ambiguity and work out how to resolve problems effectively.
- It can be solved by observing, interpreting, questioning. Try introducing reflective routines, devil's advocates, post-mortems, pre-mortems, the views of newcomers, outsiders and critics, and an anti-stupidity task force.
WHAT'S GOOD ABOUT IT
- Many people actually don't want to use their brains. One study showed that over 50% of people would rather give themselves electric shocks than sit and just think for 6 to 11 minutes.
- It's not imbeciles or bigots who do the most stupid things – you need to be relatively intelligent to be functionally stupid. Knowing too much can be frustrating and stressful – wilful ignorance is easier.
- The K word is the knowledge economy. Companies describe themselves as knowledge intensive to disguise the fact that the jobs are actually dull – it's just a confidence trick.
- Most jobs require less skill than the people doing them – automation has created a new generation of bullshit jobs, part of a new age of stupidity. This often involves skilled incompetence, in which supposed experts fall back into defensive routines to justify doing what they have always done.
- Meanwhile there has been a massive McDonaldisation of jobs – a huge increase in mindless, low paid work.
- When ex-Amazon employees move to other companies, they often take with them grindingly critical work practices, earning themselves the nickname 'Amholes'.
WHAT YOU HAVE TO WATCH
- Not much – it's well argued and suitably provocative.


Copy Drawn Objects From One Layer to One or More Other Layers
This function works on all kinds of obstructs, planes, plane shapes, conductive areas, solder mask shapes, and rule areas.
Select one or more objects to copy. Then press "Copy Selected Objects" button. The objects will be listed in the window/box underneath the button.
In the Destination Layers box, enter the layers you want the source shape to be copied to. You can enter any combination of numbers with commas, spaces, or dashes to indicate the destination layers. For example:
 - 1 2 9-11 15: This will copy to layers 1, 2, 9, 10, 11, and 15
 - 2-7, 12-15: This will copy to layers 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 12, 13, 14, 15
 - 4, 5, 6, 12-16: This will copy to layers 4, 5, 6, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16
Press the copy objects button. (Read and acknowledge warning pop-up. Please be aware, all these shapes will be copied with DRC off. It's easy to create DRC errors when doing this, so check for DRC errors afterwards.) Note: check status line at bottom of Shapester window for results.
Shape Creation Parameters
Hug Pad Slider
The hug pad slider determines how tightly the resulting shape matches the source shapes. You can think of this like a sheet draped over some furniture, or a vacuum-sealed plastic wrapper. The farther to the right the slider is, the more it is like a loosely draped sheet. The more to the left it is, the more the resulting shape will be like a vacuum-wrapped object.
If the source objects you select for shape creation are too far apart, Shapester may not be able to make a shape that connects them. If the shape creation fails, the first thing to do is try moving the slider farther to the right.
Oversize Amount
The over-size amount box lets you specify an amount (in the current design units) to increase the size of the resulting shape over the size of the source shapes.
Note: Use the Hug Pad Slider and Oversize amount together to manipulate the size and shape of the resulting object.
Fix Created Objects: Check to fix the created shape.
Lock Created Objects: Check to lock the created shape.
The corners of created shapes can be made in several ways: Square, Round, Chamfered, and Mixed Square / Round.
They are fairly self-explanatory, but it's worth noting that the Mixed Square / Round mode will create round inside corners and square outside corners. For example, when adding a plane shape to connect the belly pad of an IC with ground pins around the perimeter, you might want the outside corners squared off but the inside corners to have a radius. This mode will achieve that.
The Mixed Square/Round mode has another modifier, Round Again. If this checkbox is checked, the shape will be generally similar to Mixed Square/Round mode, but the outside corners will be rounded.
Keep Selection: This checkbox is on by default. When checked, it maintains the previous selection set of objects after the Undo button is pressed, so that you don't have to reselect everything you just had selected if you want to undo and change the parameters.
Enable Plane Selection for Shape Creation: This option is defined separately so that existing plane shapes can be included or excluded from the creation of new plane shapes. When plane shapes are used as source objects, they are incorporated into the new shape and the old one is deleted.
Reselect Last: When trying various setups to get a shape to come out the way you want, you may inadvertently unselect the objects you want to use as source objects. This button will reselect the last items used as source objects so you can use them again.
Shape Creation:
The following functions use existing objects to create other shapes. The source objects can be pin pads, via pads, traces, plane shapes, conductive shapes, and in some cases, polygons or other shapes on user layers.
Make Plane Shape
Make a plane shape out of existing objects.
Select all desired source objects, set the desired parameters, and press the "Make Plane Shape" button.
Bury pins: when plane parameters specify thermal reliefs on pin pads and vias, checking this box will create an override that will flood those pins and/or vias.
Make plane shapes trace keepouts: this option sets the parameter on the plane shape that turns it into a trace keepout.
Make Plane Obstruct
If a plane clearance for specific objects needs to be larger than the default spacing rule, the over-size amount can be set to a higher value than the existing plane clearance, and a plane obstruct can be made for those objects with the larger clearance.
Select objects, set oversize amount to the desired clearance, and press the "Make Plane Obstruct" button.
Make Plane Clearance on Adjacent Layers Under Other Objects
Select the pads, set the oversize amount if the clearance needs to be larger than the pads, and press the "Make Plane Clearance on Adjacent Layers Under Other Objects" button.
Process pads individually: to make clearances under multiple pads that are far away from each other, select this option so that Shapester does not try to combine resulting shape from all pads.
Make Solder Mask Clearance
On some boards, it may be necessary to remove solder mask from an entire surface layer. This is done with a large shape on the appropriate solder mask layer in Xpedition. If there are components installed on that layer, it will be necessary to make a hole in that solder mask shape around the components. This function creates a solder mask shape, which can be removed from a larger solder mask shape, to produce the hole, resulting in solder mask being applied to the area around the components when the board is fabricated.
Set the over-size amount to provide adequate solder mask area, select pads (in route mode), then press the Make Solder Mask Clearance button.
Full Layer Solder Mask Clearance
This function automates the process of making a solder mask clearance on an entire surface layer and then making holes in that shape around all the components on that layer. When executed, this function raises another dialog with its own controls.
The select layer drop down is used to select the top or bottom layer of the board.
Press the GO button to begin the process.
When using this function, a dialog will appear that indicates optimal settings for the hug pads slider and the over-size amount. Typically, the hug pad slider should be all the way to the right, and the over-size amount should be set to a minimum of 10 mil or.25 mm to produce an adequate solder mask area around component pads. The over-size amount may be adjusted according to fabrication process capability.
Depending on the size of the board and number of components, this process could take several minutes.
Convert Plane to Area/Area to Plane
This functions turns planes into conductive shapes or conductive shapes into planes. Net assignment does not change. Select any plane or conductive shape and press the Convert Plane to Area/Area to Plane button to execute the function.
Report Area of Selected Objects
Select an object and press the Report Area of Selected Objects button. The area of the object is reported in a pop-up window.
Fill Empty Spaces With a Plane
(And we don't mean the kind with wings.)
This function floods open areas on the active layer with a plane shape of the net specified in the Fill Space drop-down box. After you click the Fill Empty Spaces button, click in an empty area of the board area to fill the space with a plane shape.
Round Corner / Chamfer Corner:
This function is used to convert sharp corner vertices in existing shapes to chamfered or rounded. This function does the same thing as the built in shape vertex type control in the Properties dialog in Xpedition, but it's much easier and faster to use. You set the chamfer / radius value, the press either the Round Corner or Chamfer Corner buttons to initiate the command. After pressing the button, move your cursor into the Xpedition window and hover over the vertex you want to change. A red diamond snap marker will appear, indicating which vertex the action will happen on. Click near the vertex to select it. The vertex will then be changed.
If you want to add chamfers or radii to all the vertices in a shape at once, check the Chamfer / Round Entire Shape checkbox, and do the same as above. Pick any vertex in the shape. All the vertices in the shape will be changed if the adjacent line segments are long enough to accommodate the radius or chamfer.
Trim Planes to Route Border
If plane shapes extend beyond the route border, this function can be used to trim them back to the route border. The net assignment and plane parameters of the plane are maintained. Select one or more plane shapes, then press the Trim Planes to Route Border button. The plane shapes will be automatically trimmed.

For new installations a system-based approach is used that based on the installed power density. There are two different criteria:
1. If an entire building would be equipped with a new lighting system, the criterion for the installed light output (including lamps, ballasts and control units) divided by the total floor area in W/m2 must be applied.
In our case: 72W / 19,44m² = 3,70W / m².
2. When in a specific area of a building a new lighting system would be installed, so the criterion for the normalized power density in W/m2/100 lux must be applied. This means the total consumed energy of the lighting (including lamps, ballasts and control units) must be divided by the total floor area, and by a hundredth of the illuminance of the specific area.
In our case: 3,70W/m² / (34,6lx/100) = 10,7 W/m²/lx

Use this command to repeat a sequence of statements until a certain condition exists. Basically it is very similar to the While command, the main difference is that your loop is *always* executed at least once. While still has its uses but many programmers find the repeat/until construct more intuitive - and easier to follow in many circumstances.
Repeat statements can be nested, but every Repeat statement must have a matching Until statement. Use BreakRepeat to break out of the Repeat loop
Use Until to complete the loop. The expression used must return a Boolean true or false value.

I would like to share a script I found quite useful, it's very basic bash scripting but it still can help the unexperienced ones.
- First create a
- Add the following content to the script:
if [ "$db" = "" ]; then
echo "Usage: $0 db_name user password"
for sql_file in *.sql; do
echo "Importing $sql_file";
mysql --user=$user --password=$passwd $db < $sql_file;
- Run the script with the following terminal command:
bash import.sh yourTargetDatabaseName yourMySQLUser yourMySQLPassword
The script will simply run sequentially all the imports you dumped beforehand.
PS: If you get some Foreign Key errors, you can disable them changing the "for" cycle mysql command with the following:
echo "SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=0" | mysql --user=$user --password=$passwd $db < $sql_file
Have a good import!

Problem 4 from the IMO 2013 - Synthetic Solution
What Might This Be About?
Let $ABC$ be an acute triangle with orthocenter $H,$ and let $W$ be a point on the side $BC,$ lying strictly between $B$ and $C.$ The points $M and N$ are the feet of the altitudes from $B$ and $C,$ respectively. Denote by $\omega_1$ is the circumcircle of $BWN,$ and let $X$ be the point on $\omega_1$ such that $WX$ is a diameter of $\omega_1.$ Analogously, denote by $\omega_2$ the circumcircle of triangle $CWM,$ and let $Y$ be the point such that $WY$ is a diameter of $\omega_2.$
Prove that $X,$ $Y$ and $H$ are collinear.
Let $F$ be the other point of intersection of $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2.$ We know that $F$ lies on $XY.$
Let $\omega$ be the third Miquel's circle, i.e., the circumcircle of $AMN.$ By Miquel's theorem, $F$ is on $\omega.$ $H$ is also on $\omega$ and what's more $AH$ is its diameter. This is because the two inscribed angles (one at $M,$ the other at $N$) are right, one pair of their sides intersects on $\omega$ (at $A$), so the other pair of their sides also intersects on $\omega.$ But these sides are formed by $BM$ and $CN$ that intersect at $H.$
Now, $\angle AFH=90^\circ,$ by Thales' Theorem. It follows that $AFW$ is a straight line. From $WF\perp XY$ together with $AF\perp FH$ we obtain that $H\in XY.$
Note: as in the case of the analytic solution, the requirementd that the triangel be acute and $W$ lie strictly between $B$ and $C$ are redundant.
Suffice it to stipulate that $W$ does not coincide with either $B$ or $C$ and that the angles at $B$ and $C$ are not right.

Overview of the week
Held over the 25th-31st October 2010, Big Green Week (BGW) was full of thought provoking, interactive and enjoyable features which launched the University's commitment to carbon reduction.
One of the main exhibits, on view at the heart of the campus, was the Carbon
Cube, the first UK life-sized depiction of a tonne of carbon dioxide, which at 599.48m3, was larger than the average house.
The average carbon footprint per person in the UK is 10.92 tonnes of carbon dioxide whilst the University emits the equivalent of over 30,000 tonnes every year. The need to reduce carbon by 60% over the next 10 years was the key message for the week. Students and staff were asked to commit to this vision as well as play their part in making it a reality.
During the week, staff, students and visitors were encouraged to calculate their own carbon footprint and relate it to the Cube to comprehend just how much their lifestyle has an effect on the environment.
Each day of the week had a different theme including, Monday 'use less energy', Tuesday 'eat sustainably', Wednesday 'travel sustainably', Thursday'recycle more' and Friday 'get involved'. Throughout the week events and activities such as a Climate Change debate, cooking demonstration, seed planting, Big Switch Off, a variety of themed eco fayres and the Hard Rain exhibition populated the campus. See the programme and photographs from the event here.
The week culminated on Friday with the Big Green Statement on the park where over 500 people spelt out the University's carbon commitment on Victoria Park, including local councilors and Professor Sir Bob Burgess.
A full review of the event and further articles about Big Green Week will be online soon.


Number of groups of prime power order
John Baez left a comment on my post on group statistics saying
It's known that the number of groups of order p^n for prime p is p^{2n^3/27+O(n^(8/3))}. It might be fun to compare this to what Mathematica says.
Here goes. First let's let p = 2. Mathematica's FiniteGroupCount function tops out at n = 10. And for the range of values Mathematica does support, 2^{2n^3/27} grossly overestimates the number of groups.
 Table[{FiniteGroupCount[2^n], 2^((2./27) n^3)}, {n, 1, 11}]
 {{1, 1.05269}, {2, 1.50795}, {5, 4.}, {14, 26.7365},
 {51, 612.794}, {267, 65536.}, {2328, 4.45033*10^7},
 {56092, 2.61121*10^11}, {_PHONE_, 1.80144*10^16},
 {49487365422, 1.98847*10^22}, {FiniteGroupCount[2048], 4.7789*10^29}}
OEIS has entries for the sizes of various groups, and the entry for powers of 2 confirms the asymptotic formula above. Maybe it's not a good approximation until n is very large. (Update: Here's a reference for the asymptotic expression for all p.)
The OEIS entry for number of groups of order powers of 5 has an interesting result:
For a prime p >= 5, the number of groups of order p^n begins 1, 1, 2, 5, 15,
61 + 2*p + 2*gcd (p – 1, 3) + gcd (p – 1, 4),
3*p^2 + 39*p + 344 + 24*gcd(p – 1, 3) + 11*gcd(p – 1, 4) + 2*gcd(p – 1, 5), …
We can duplicate this with Mathematica.
 Table[FiniteGroupCount[5^n], {n, 0, 6}]
 {1, 1, 2, 5, 15, 77, 684}
and the last two numbers match the calculations given in OEIS.
There's something interesting going on with Mathematica. It doesn't seem to know, or agree with, the formula above for groups of order p4. For example,
 Table[FiniteGroupCount[7^n], {n, 0, 6}]
 {1, 1, 2, 5, FiniteGroupCount[2401], 83, 860}
I get similar results when I use larger primes: it can't handle the fourth power.
 Table[FiniteGroupCount[389^n], {n, 0, 6}]
 {1, 1, 2, 5, FiniteGroupCount[22898045041], 845, 469548}
The results for n = 5 and 6 agree with OEIS.
Is OEIS wrong about the number of groups of order p4 or should Mathematica simply return 15 but there's a gap in the software?
Also, does anybody know why the agreement with the asymptotic formula above is so bad? It's just as bad or worse for other primes that I tried.

4 thoughts on "Number of groups of prime power order
 1. Just looking at that formula, it doesn't seem like you should expect it to give a "good" approximation. The big-oh term has a power of 8/3, compared to 3 for the leading term (so you wouldn't expect it to be that small for the values of n you're looking at, even if the constant in the big-oh term is not astronomically large), and, more importantly, it's in the exponent. In other words, the ratio of the logarithms approaches 1, although probably slowly, but the actual ratio of FiniteGroupCount to the approximation might not even approach 1 at all.
 2. Including the big-oh term would make the upper bound even worse. The estimate is already off by several orders of magnitude without it. So unless I'm missing something, the expression has no practical utility.
 3. Yes, the number of groups of order p^4 is 15 unless p=2. I suspect it was accidentally overlooked in Mathematica.
 4. If my understanding of the notation is correct, the big-oh term is an error term which could be either positive or negative, much like writing sin(x) = x + O(x^3) for x close to 0. In the examples in this post, it is clearly negative. The bound you get from this formula is a very weak bound, but it is at least a bound, which is better than nothing.

The Cherenkov effect is a well-known phenomenon and its properties are widely used in many fields of physics. However, some features of the polarization characteristics of Cherenkov radiation that appears when charged particles pass near azimuthally asymmetric, finite dielectric targets are still poorly studied. This problem is solved in this work. The polarization characteristics of Cherenkov radiation in the case of a rectangular dielectric screen are analyzed using the Stokes approach. Owing to the azimuthal asymmetry of the target, radiation acquires an elliptic polarization whose rotation direction and inclination angle depend both on the direction of radiation propagation and on the dielectric properties of a substance. The results demonstrate that the Cherenkov effect can be used to create sources of elliptically polarized radiation with the controlled direction of polarization rotation.

Road Landscaping
Landscape is partially formed by the law of nature and partially by the actions of human beings. How one interprets a forest road within a landscape is influenced by one's own personal experiences, objectives, hopes and attitudes.
Landscaping is very much a matter of aesthetics. Anyway in forestry and forest road building a planner is faced with the task of optimizing economics, ecology and aesthetics at the same time.


For better or for worse, India's celebrities have some pretty strong personalities. But how would they translate into a school classroom? Considering what they're up to today, here's what they probably would have been like while eating chalk and sharpening pencils.
1. Sonu Sood - Would distribute sweets to everyone every day, not just on his birthday.
2. Arvind Kejriwal - Would keep accusing people of stealing his pencil.
3. Narendra Modi - Would be the only person studying 'Entire Political Science'.
4. Navika Kumar - Would spread a rumour that Rahul and Pooja ne kiss kiya.
5. Sambit Patra - Would be the teacher's pet.

This is a great multisensory spelling activity to accompany the "sm" beginning blends. All you'll need is some Marshmallows, a wooden skewer, and a marker. If you allow snacks in your classroom, the students will be excited to find out they'll be having a little treat, too!
Directions for Spelling Smores
Pass out 5 or 6 Marshmallows to each student. This is the amount that fits on each skewer. Dictate the words from the list below. The students will write them across the marshmallow. Make sure they use large, evenly spaced letters around the Marshmallow. As they pierce the Marshmallow through the skewer, they read the words aloud.
Alternatively, for more practice with these words, you can split the students up in pairs. Split the dictation words between the students and have them take turns reading the words to each other as they skewer them.

Why do climbers not use electrically heated suits to climb peaks like Mt. Everest? Or am I just mistaken and they already do it?
Edit: It turns out battery-powered heating in clothing actually is used on Mt. Everest: Hotronic makes battery-powered heated insoles that are used by Everest climbers, for example. Battery powered jackets and other types of clothing are also common, but the models I checked only provide warmth for a few hours (e.g. this jacket, which runs 3-10 hours on a single 6000mAh power bank that's about 200 grams). Mt. Everest can take days or weeks to climb, depending on how acclimatized you are, so that's a lot of batteries to have to carry, even if you're not running every article of powered clothing nonstop.
Besides, better technology is already available. For example, Aerogel jackets are a thing - in fact, they've been tested on Everest, and they're so effective that the climbers actually overheated in early designs.
In 2010, apparel maker Champion put aerogel inside a jacket lining and sent mountaineer Jamie Clarke up Everest; he overheated
Aerogels are among the lightest artificial materials and most efficient artificial insulators, and they're also surprisingly strong structurally. A jacket made of that material is therefore going to be lighter and more reliable than a complex battery-powered electrical system.
Aerogel is 90 percent air and 10 percent silica. The silica is extremely porous, but because the holes are 1/10,000th the diameter of a human hair, they block nearly all airflow, making it supremely effective as an insulator. It's also shockingly light: the hockey-puck-size samples shown here—enough to outfit a pair of mountaineering boots—weigh just nine-tenths of an ounce each
Aerogel is an extreme example, but even with more common insulators (e.g. down, wool, synthetic) the point remains the same: the human body produces a lot of heat on its own, so you only need a decent type and amount of insulation to retain enough of that heat to keep the body within a healthy temperature range in any environment. Since insulation requires no energy and little maintenance, functions at very low temperatures, is generally lightweight, and is resilient to damage and wear, there's been no need to replace it - climbers have relied on it successfully throughout history.
- Firstly there's the weight issue - as Paparazzi commented, batteries are heavy!
- Then there's temperature - battery performance drops considerably in the cold
- And finally reliability - if your electrical circuit goes, you will freeze unless you have properly insulated clothing...
so why bother having the batteries at all?


Assembly Members Joann Downey and Eric Houghtaling (D-Monmouth) introduced legislation to allow adult-use and medical homegrown into the Assembly.
Houghtaling and Downey represent the 11th Legislative District with Vin Gopal, who introduced a Senate homegrow bill last week. They all represent Asbury Park, a progressive bastion open to legalization thus far.
The legislation, A. 5552, would allow people 21 and older to grow up to six plants for recreational use or up to 10 plants for medical use. A single household would not be permitted to have more than 12 plants.
The bill is called "Legalizes growing or possessing up to six marijuana plants for personal recreational use, and up to 10 plants for personal medical use, by persons aged 21 or older."
There is no bill language or text to read yet.
"Allowing individuals to grow cannabis inside their homes will tremendously help those who have financial struggles and need to fill their prescription," Downey said.
"In most cases, individuals are paying an exorbitant amount of money at dispensaries, and what they buy does not even fill their prescription. Allowing individuals to grow up to 10 plants for medical use will greatly benefit the individuals who are in pain both physically and financially," she added.
"There is an issue at hand when we legalize marijuana, yet we punish individuals for growing it in their own home. As the law stands currently, growing even one plant can result in a first-degree crime punishable by 10 to 20 years in prison," Houghtaling said. "This legislation will allow individuals the access to grow up to six plants for recreational use and ten plants for medical use in their own home without the threat of going to prison."
The Politics of Homegrow
"Home grow just makes sense. Let people be. They're not hurting anyone. And if that helps, especially on the medical side as well, then we should embrace it," Gopal said. "Allow people 21 and older to grow up to six plants for recreational use or up to 10 plants for medical use."
Homegrow is a politically contentious issue. Many grassroots advocates and Green Rusher entrepreneurs and professionals testified in favor of homegrow during the legalization hearings. Most of their pleas for a way to secure better, affordable cannabis fell on deaf ears who told them it was too risky or they needed to wait.
In the wake of legalization, Senator Troy Singleton (D-Burlington) introduced a medical homegrow bill. Gopal signed on to that bill as well. He voiced support for homegrow last year. It will be interesting to see what happens to the two bills.
Longtime advocates revile Singleton's longtime district mate Assemblyman Herb Conaway for removing homegrow from the medical cannabis law CUMMA in 2010 at the eleventh hour. Advocates say Conaway did not like homegrow because there was no money to made from it. Many argue that the gardening supplies would generate a lot of business. There's always a way for the State of New Jersey to make money.

history of the rona tranby trust
The Rona Tranby Trust was established in 1991 from a bequest in the Will of Thomas Paul Rona who died tragically with his wife Eva in a car accident in September 1987.
In his Will, Tom Rona directed thata specific bequest from his Estate be held for the benefit of Tranby Aboriginal College or the Aboriginal Legal Service according to the discretion of the Trustees of the Estate.
The Ronas were Holocaust survivors who lost many family members in Nazi concentration camps during WWII. Both were committed social justice activists, taking a keen role in raising awareness of the Holocaust within the non-Jewish community. As members of the NSW Jewish Board of Deputies they were also active in promoting inter-ethnic harmony.
The Rona family at the suggestion of Kitty Fischer, Eva's sister, approached Gridiger Lawyers for advice in fulfilling the wishes of Thomas Rona. Roland Gridiger considered a number of suggestions from the relevant communities and recommended that the Trustees of the Estate adopt the Rona Tranby Trust.
In setting up the Rona Tranby Trust, it was agreed that parallels between Aboriginal and Jewish history gave a compelling logic to link these different communities. Both peoples share important values and priorities and have suffered persecution, dispossession of lands and attempted genocide.
The Rona Tranby Trust was launched at a public ceremony at Tranby Aboriginal College on September 2nd 1991 in the presence of the Hon. Paul Zammit, NSW Minister assisting the Premier on Aboriginal and Ethnic Affairs.
The Rona Tranby Award & collection
The bequest in Tom Rona's Will enabled the Trustees of the Rona Estate to establish 'The Rona Tranby Award & Collection'. This evolved into a collaboration between Tranby Aboriginal College, Glebe and the NSW Jewish Board of Deputies and set out the projects that would fulfill the requirements of the Trust.
Rona Tranby Awards are given to support the recording and preservation of Indigenous Australian oral history. The original concept of the award was to utilise the skills that had been cultivated within the Jewish community in the recording of the oral histories of Holocaust survivors. It was thought that such expertise could be shared to assist Indigenous Australian communities record the oral histories of their Elders.

Wood petrified in spring
Creationist's rapid claims recognized
Secular research at a hot spring in Japan shows that wood can turn into stone much faster than geologists previously thought.1
The belief that fossils and rocks petrify over millions of years is a part of modern culture-like microwave ovens and jumbo jets. We are constantly fed the idea through newspapers, magazines, museums and text books. Like sticks of chalk in coloured water, people have absorbed the notion that fossils are millions of years old.
|Images from ref. 1|
|Silica filled wood tissue (C) from wood samples (F) immersed for several years in steaming lake (A). The mineral deposits resemble those in naturally fallen wood (D) petrified at the lake's edge (E). Opal deposits are composed of tiny spheres of silica (B).|
But the idea is false. And wrong ideas have bad consequences—sometimes serious ones.
Creation magazine often surprises readers with real examples of rocks and fossils that formed rapidly—surprises, because they contradict popular belief. Like removing dye from a stick of chalk, it's not easy to remove a powerful myth that colours someone's perception of Bible history.
Recently, five Japanese scientists published more real examples of rapid petrification, confirming creationist claims.1 Even more unusual, their report to a secular geology journal quoted an article by Dr Andrew Snelling from Creation magazine.2,3
The scientists, led by Hisatada Akahane, studied a small lake cradled in the explosion crater of the Tateyama Volcano in central Japan (fig. A). A mineral-rich solution gushes from the bottom and fills the 15-m pond with steaming acidic water. It cascades over the edge as a waterfall.
The scientists found that the naturally fallen wood in the overflow was hard and heavy because it was petrified with a mineral called silica. Yet the wood was less than 36 years old.
After seven years the wood had turned into stone.
As an experiment, they fastened pieces of fresh wood in the lake with wire. After seven years the wood had turned into stone, again petrified with silica.
Under a powerful microscope, they saw that the silica had deposited like opal, as tiny spheres smaller than the diameter of a human hair (fig. B). It filled the pore spaces in the wood and covered the cell walls. Silica was deposited in the same way in the naturally fallen wood and in some wood found in nearby volcanic ash. Hot mineral-rich water had soaked into the spaces in every case.
Their study confirmed that under suitable conditions, wood can turn to stone in ten years or less. This clears away one powerful objection to believing the Bible. It means that the rocks and fossils we find on the earth could easily have formed in the 4,500 years since Noah's Flood. And conditions would have been favourable for petrification because there was plenty of volcanic activity and mineral-rich water at the time.
Objections about rapid petrification answered
'Geologists already know petrification can happen quickly. It's misleading to say that rapid petrification is a surprise.'
Answer: It may not be surprising to some geologists, but examples of rapid petrification are surprising to most ordinary people. Geologists often avoid mentioning how long it takes when they write about petrification, but they usually imply it was very slow. Anyway, the Japanese researchers considered it surprising.
'The wood was still present so it was just permineralized. Petrification requires the wood itself to be replaced slowly by another mineral.'
Answer: When wood is replaced by another mineral, it is called replacement. When the mineral fills the cell spaces but does not replace the cell walls, it is called permineralization. Petrification is often used to describe both processes.
Even so, it does not need millions of years for wood cellular material to disintegrate and be replaced by mineral. All chemical processes depend simply on the chemical and physical conditions.
'Examples of rapid petrification do not prove the world is young.'
Answer: Agreed. But they do prove that millions of years are not needed (as evolutionary articles so often imply), and so destroy a false objection to accepting biblical history.

Het dorp Rincon, Te Rincon, Rincón: Rinon (Papamientu)
Meaning of Rincón, Spanish for corner/nook, may refer to:
A "Rincon" is also a place where you can have activities, such as a restaurant ("ex: the corner of the good food") or a shop ("the corner of hot sales"). It means as well a remote settlement, a group of houses. A Rincon can be built inland or by the sea.
Is Rincon protected from the pirate attacks?
1/Rincon is sheltered in the North by the Brandaris (240 m) and Seru Mangel (144,6 m), in the West by Seru Dos Pos (125,6 m) and Montagne (143 m), and, in the South by Seru Largu (133 m). Rincon is almost invisible from the sea and far less exposed than Palu di Lechi.
2/ Rincon is protected by a very shallow sand bank on the east side of Bonaire, right in front of the town.
3/ Even inland, sheltered and protected, the Rincon has been raided several times, cf Laurens Prins in 1665.
Rincon Village is the oldest village on Bonaire. Additionally, it is the oldest in continual existence within the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba.
In 1527, the Spaniards came back from Hispaniola to Bonaire and then founded the first settlement on Bonaire: Rincon. On their return they brought Indians and various types of livestock along. Rincon's location was chosen because it is in a fertile valley and has an always blowing trade wind and it was out of the eye of passing (pirate)ships and beyond the reach of their raids. In 1636 the West India Company, which has long been established on Curacao, decided to Bonaire add to their possessions. The Dutch exploited Bonaire mainly for its salt and paint timber. Brasil Wood (Palu di Brasil) was used as red pigment for paint. When the Dutch saw that they needed more labor, they imported slaves from Africa, who then had to settle in Rincon. The slaves worked on plantations in the area of Rincon and on salt pans on the opposite side of the island. Because the walk from Rincon to the salt pans took about 10 hours the slaves build themselves small huts to sleep in. The slaves worked the salt pans and stayed in their huts during the week, on saterday they were allowed to go back to their homes in Rincon. In 1850, these shacks were replaced by stone houses. These stone houses are still standing along the salt pans. After the abolition of slavery on July 1st of 1863, the former slaves stayed in Rincon, they maintained their culture and to this date many of the current residents of Rincon are descendants of the slaves.

text: The purposes of this study are to analyze post liquefaction shear strength and to explore the potential use of wave-based techniques to monitor liquefaction and post liquefaction response. The first part presents a detailed analysis of triaxial test results to identify robust strength criteria. The second part documents experimental data on the characterization of liquefaction events with P-wave reflection imaging and S-wave trans-illumination techniques. The relevance of multiple coexisting temporal and spatial scales is highlighted. The following results are obtained: 1) the post liquefaction shear strength can be estimated within the framework of critical state soil mechanic; 2) the P-wave reflection images obtained before and after liquefaction represent the depression of the soil-water interface; 3) excess pore pressure migration from liquefied deep layers may cause zero-effective stress in dilative shallow layers. P-wave reflection is a valuable tool to monitor the evolution of subsurface structures and S-wave trans-illumination technique can be used to yield a comprehensive picture of the spatial evolution of liquefaction.


CBeebies launches a mindfulness app for kids voiced by Stephen Fry - here's how to download it
Friday, 8th May 2020, 3:30 pm
Updated Friday, 8th May 2020, 3:30 pm
CBeebies has released a new mindfulness app activity voiced by Stephen Fry to help children during lockdown
The app experience, called Your Mindful Garden, aims to teach children between 0 - 6 years old, how to develop mindful habits.
It's aimed at helping them through difficult and unexpected times such as the coronavirus pandemic.
The new app activity comes after the BBC expanded their education website BBC Bitesize, to help children learn during lockdown.
What activities are included in the app?
According to the CBeebies website, Your Mindful Garden provides three activities to complete daily, which aim to increase "focus, creativity and calm" in children.
"Your Mindful Garden teaches valuable techniques to help children de-stress and unwind - useful skills both in these tough times and for later in life," reads a statement on its website.
In-app hide and seek with CBeebies characters is one example of the concentration based activities, while some creative activities include raking patterns in a zen garden.
Creative and concentration based activities "help to clear and relax the mind", according to the children's television channel.
The third and final activity is always geared towards calming the child. This can range from physical activities such as stretches to breathing exercises.
"From learning to stretch with a new monkey friend to breathing along with a frog, it's all about learning valuable techniques that can help improve children's wellbeing," the website says.
Why is it called Your Mindful Garden?
The app activity gets its name from one of its core components. Your Mindful Garden asks children to virtually dig a hole in the app to plant a mindfulness tree.
Once they have completed a full set of three daily activities, they are rewarded with an in-app surprise element which is added to their tree.
Stephen Fry, who voices the app experience said: "It was such a pleasure to be involved with a simple, but beautifully designed idea like this. I hope and believe that many children will find the game fun, engaging and helpful in their journeys through life."
How can I get the app?
Your mindful Garden which was developed with the help of a professional mindfulness consultant, is now available for free in the CBeebies Go Explore app, which itself can be downloaded from the App Store, Google Play or Amazon App Stores.

Flashing and Drainage
Flashing is a crucial component in modern masonry walls. Whereas solid, multi-wythe masonry walls mostly constructed before the 1900s manage water infiltration through absorption and evaporation, modern masonry walls must accommodate moisture penetration by providing a collection and drainage system. This system consists of flashing and weeps. Flashing also serves to prevent water penetration at interfaces with other building systems, such as windows and other penetrations.
Cavity wall design recognizes that water penetration through masonry is inevitable, and it provides the necessary means to manage moisture. Flashing location, material selection, detailing and proper installation are all significantly important to ensure that water does not penetrate to the interior areas of buildings.
|Flashing seams or laps that are not properly sealed can lead to water leakage.
Locating flashing is a fairly straightforward task, provided water flow and the limitations of the building wall components are well understood. Masonry walls are porous, often including paths for water penetration, such as cracks and poorly bonded mortar joints; even if properly installed, window perimeter and coping stone sealant degrades over time. Also, through-wall penetrations at pipes, conduit, vents and air conditioning sleeves obviously breach the skin of a building. Each of these locations provides the opportunity for water penetration.
Once moisture has penetrated through the exterior veneer of the masonry wall, it will begin flowing down the interior face of the veneer. Where the vertical flow of water is interrupted by a horizontal surface, water has the potential to penetrate to the interior areas of a building. Such interruptions typically occur at wall bases, shelf angles, lintels, slab edges, through-wall penetrations and windowsills. These are the primary locations where flashing is necessary to manage water.
Flashing also is used at other locations to prevent moisture penetration, more so than managing water after penetration. This is typically the case at coping stones on parapet walls and at the head and jambs of windows.
It should be noted that most model building codes, including the 2000, 2003 and 2006 versions of the International Building Code (IBC), require installation of flashing at various areas of masonry walls. The specific locations where flashing is required in each version of the IBC have changed slightly over the years; however, the intent remains the same.
|Failure to properly install flashing at wall corners and intersections can lead to water leakage, and possibly mold.
Flashing materials must be resistant to punctures during construction, they must be corrosion resistant, they must not absorb moisture, and they should be fairly easy to install. More importantly, all flashing materials should be able to provide their intended waterproofing function. Flashing material often is selected based on cost and suitability, but service life also should be considered. Failure of the flashing prior to the end of the useful life of a building will require expensive repairs; therefore, only highly durable materials should be used in masonry construction.
The most durable flashing materials are sheet metals typically copper and stainless steel. These materials are resistant to punctures, corrosion and water absorption. However, installation is somewhat more difficult than for flexible materials, since they require shop or field bending prior to installation. Another factor is the sealing of laps and joints, which normally is accomplished by soldering the sheet metal sections together. Sheet metals also tend to be the most expensive flashing materials.
One of the most common materials used for flashing is rubberized asphalt. It typically comes in variable width sheets and is self-adhesive. The sheets are manufactured through careful blending of rubberizing agents with asphalt (typically SBS or SEBS). The rubberized asphalt then is laminated with a backing material, usually high-density polyethylene. These products are usually 40 mils thick, are flexible, easy to install, non-corrosive, and will not absorb water. They are a somewhat less durable than sheet metal since they are more susceptible to punctures. However, since this type of flashing often is fully adhered to the substrate, a puncture will not necessarily result in a leak. Nonetheless, punctures should not be tolerated in any kind of flashing installation. Laps and joints in rubberized asphalt flashing materials are sealed through the self-adhesive properties of the material.
Thin approximately 20 mils thick or less polyethylene sheeting (plastic) also is being used as flashing. However, this is not a durable material. In such thicknesses, polyethylene has nearly no puncture resistance and will degrade over short periods of time. Additionally, sealing joints and laps in thin polyethylene or other types of plastic sheets is difficult.
There are many other types of through-wall flashing products such as laminated copper sheets. Before specifying any flashing materials, they should be evaluated for their durability and installation practicality.
Flashing accessories such as termination bars, drip edges, solder, primers, adhesives and sealants must also be durable and compatible with flashing and other wall materials. Metal components must be non-corrosive and sealants must remain soft and flexible. No material should adversely affect any other material within the wall system.
|End dams are often formed using a combination of flexible flashing with a sheet metal backup to ensure proper geometry of the flashing is maintained during construction.
Although quality mason contractors should fully understand the purpose of flashing and installation requirements, flashing systems should be thoroughly detailed on the construction drawings. These details should provide direction to the contractor in forming end dams and corners, installing termination bars and drip edges, sealing seams, providing expansion joints, and installing proper flashing support.
Detailing flashing to collect and divert water from the interior cavity wall surfaces to the exterior should consider the following:
- End dams must be used at the ends of each length of non-continuous flashing to force water to the exterior of the masonry cavity walls. The most common location for end dams is at the ends of window lintels and windowsills. Without them, water will flow along and off of the end of the lintel into the wall cavity (path of least resistance). However, since the window lintel spans the full width of the wall cavity, water can spill into the cavity at or near the interior walls, exposing them to potential water penetration.
- Proper detailing at corners is necessary to ensure moisture does not penetrate through the flashing system. Details for corners must indicate locations for seams and laps. Corner details may include the use of preformed sheet metal, even if rubberized asphalt flashing is used.
- Flashing must extend through the full thickness of the wall and terminate beyond the face of the wall with a drip edge. Terminating flashing within the exterior wythe of masonry could allow water to travel back beneath the flashing, into the cavity, and possibly back to the interior wythe of the wall system. Use of self-adhesive rubberized asphalt flashing should include separate, stainless steel drip edges adhered directly to lintels and shelf angles, beneath the self-adhesive flashing. This is because rubberized asphalts will degrade with UV exposure. Therefore, when used with a stainless steel drip edge, the rubberized asphalt does not need to extend beyond the face of the exterior wall.
- The interior vertical leg of flashing should extend up a minimum of eight inches. The top edge of the flashing must be terminated properly. The two most common termination methods are embedment in a bed joint of the masonry backup or with a termination bar. Termination bars should be fairly stiff to provide a uniform clamping force between the fasteners and resist bending during installation. A "[" shape often is best for this purpose. Termination bars should also be corrosion resistant.
- Details of seams should include a minimum lap length of four inches. Although metal flashing often is soldered at the seams, sometimes it is better to adhere the lapped areas with flexible sealant. This will accommodate thermal expansion and contraction where soldered seams will not.
- Flexible flashing must be fully supported across the full width of the wall cavity below. At shelf angles and lintels this is always the case. However, flexible flashing placed at floor lines without shelf angles will form a trough over the width of the cavity if supplemental support is not provided. This trough will retain water and can cause large leaks where there are any small imperfections in the flashing seams. Water will then flow through the seams, into the cavity space below and possibly down the face of the interior wythe, exposing interior areas of a building to water penetration. Supplemental support typically is provided through installation of a sheet metal angle attached to the masonry backup wythe and spanning across the full width of the cavity.
- Penetrations through flashing materials, such as at coping stone anchors, must be detailed to ensure the penetration is watertight. Most often, this is accomplished with a flexible sealant or mastic.
- Weeps must be placed in the mortar joint immediately above the flashing at a maximum of 24 inches on center. In general, the larger the weeps, the better. Cell vents installed in head joints, typically the same size as a head joint, will quickly remove more water than cotton rope or small plastic tube weeps.
Flashing details are often best presented in isometric views. In particular, details at corners and end dams are difficult to show clearly in traditional, two-dimensional details.
Although not specifically the topic of this article, it is important to note that flashing cannot serve its intended purpose if the wall cavity is too narrow and not kept clean during construction. For cavity walls to function as intended, they must be designed with a minimum inch-inch wide cavity. This dimension is considered the minimum width necessary, as recommended by the Brick Industry Association, to prevent the cavity from being bridged by mortar or other materials and to allow water to cross over to the interior wythe. Narrower cavities are far more difficult to keep clear during construction. However, it should be noted that mortar brid
