Using a scientific calculator
The course describes some of the main features of a scientific calculator and encourages you to use your calculator, both for everyday arithmetic and for more complicated calculations that use the function keys as well. Key sequences, which describe which keys to press, are included in all the activities, so you can try out the ideas straightaway.
Due to the wide range of scientific calculators available, for the purposes of this course we will be concentrating on the Casio fx-83ES model. Other calculators may function differently to the methods described within this course.
This calculator is used on the Open University course Discovering mathematics (MU123) [Tip: hold Ctrl and click a link to open it in a new tab. (Hide tip)] , but would also be useful for many other courses requiring the use of a scientific calculator.
This OpenLearn course is an adapted extract from the Open University course MU123 Discovering mathematics.

Recruiting Problems in New York Slowing U.S. Trials of AIDS Drug
By GINA KOLATA
Published: December 18, 1988
The largest and perhaps the most important trial in the search for AIDS treatments is floundering in New York City, with few patients volunteering and many of those who do suspected of cheating.
Around the country, recruitment of volunteers is proceeding much better, but some experts say the stumbling block in New York, with more AIDS cases than any other city, is likely to slow the pace of the entire study.
The federally sponsored study seeks to determine whether the drug AZT can prevent or delay the onset of acquired immune deficiency syndrome among people who carry the virus but who have not developed symptoms of the disease. AZT, or azidothymidine, the only drug approved for the treatment of AIDS, is an antiviral agent that has been shown to prolong the lives of seriously ill AIDS patients.
''Here we're sitting, languishing for patients, while in Minneapolis, Buffalo, Rochester, they're doing fine,'' said Dr. Henry W. Murray of the Cornell University Medical Center, one of six medical centers in New York City that are participating in the study.
Dr. Murray's group has been able to enroll just nine volunteers for the study after trying for more than five months, placing advertisements in newspapers, meeting with doctors who have large AIDS practices and speaking to gay groups. ''It's not for lack of effort,'' Dr. Murray said of the small number of volunteers he has recruited. Now, he says, he is growing weary.
Some evidence suggests that the sooner a patient begins taking the drug the greater the benefits, and some doctors and patients are acting on that assumption. But the drug can reduce the growth of bone marrow, which produces the white blood cells that are vital to the body's immune defenses. The bone marrow also produces red blood cells, which carry oxygen to organs and tissues.
Many experts say they are uncertain whether it is better for healthy virus carriers to start on the drug early or to wait until there are signs of serious damage to the immune system.
''The first thing to realize is that this is the most important trial in AIDS today,'' said Dr. Daniel Hoth of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases in Bethesda, Md., which is sponsoring the study. If it is proved that AZT helps prevent the development of AIDS without intolerable side effects, the implications will be profound for the treatment and survival prospects of the million to million and a half Americans believed to be carrying the virus.
Scientists estimate that it takes an average of seven and a half years after infection for the first symptoms of AIDS to appear and that over time the vast majority of virus carriers will become ill. So far, New York has accounted for about one in four of the nation's cases of AIDS, and city officials estimate that about 200,000 New Yorkers are infected. Hostility Toward Program
Since July 1987, when enrollment in the test began, nearly 2,400 volunteers have joined the study nationwide. All were infected with the virus but were otherwise healthy when they enrolled. The goal is to reach an enrollment of 3,200 and to follow the volunteers for three years as they take either AZT or an inactive dummy drug, a placebo.
Neither the volunteers nor the doctors following them know who is taking AZT and who is taking a placebo. A data monitoring committee reviews the study regularly and is to stop it immediately if it sees clear evidence that AZT is helping, or hurting, participants.
But in comparison to other cities, a higher proportion of New Yorkers who know they are infected with the AIDS virus seem unwilling to leave their treatment to chance, as they must in the study, experts say. Researchers and spokesmen for the patients say that organized patient groups in New York feel hostile toward the Federal testing program, which they charge has been too slow to test potential new drugs and has been used to restrict patients' access to unproved drugs.
Many more of the New York patients are also cheating on the study, researchers fear, by taking other ''underground'' drugs and by taking steps to determine whether they are receiving AZT in the trial and if not, dropping out or getting the drug from other doctors. Some laboratories in New York even advertise that they will analyze capsules and tell whether they are AZT or placebos. 'Worried About Cheating'
''I heard a story, which I believe, that some people can tell AZT from the placebo simply by opening up the capsule and feeling the drug,'' said Dr. Murray, of the Cornell University Medical Center. ''They say that AZT is more granular than the placebo.''
The researchers are worried that cheating could reach a scale where it undermines the validity of study results. But so far they have not been able to assess its extent, and experts believe that most participants around the country are following the rules.
''We're worried about cheating all the time,'' said Dr. Paul Volberding of the University of California at San Francisco, chairman of the national study.

Rescued Film Project Finds And Develops 31 Rolls Of Film From WW2
In late 2014 at an auction in Ohio, Levi Bettweiser of the Rescued Film Project, stumbled upon one of his greatest finds. Up for bid were 31 rolls of 70 year old undeveloped film from World War 2 shot by an unknown soldier and photographer. The Rescued Film Project is an effort to find and salvage undeveloped film from as early as the 1930's. They strive to recover even those films which are damaged by age or the elements, as in the case of this large find of film from WW2.

My comments on tutoring Algebra II: You need to know your basic if you are tutoring calculus
Have a PhD in organic chemistry. Have been teaching assistants in almost undergraduate level chemistry classes (general chemistry, organic chemistry, and analytical chemistry) during graduate school. Have more than 13 years tutoring experience. Paid my undergraduate college education through tutoring and scholarships. My strongest subjects are chemistry and mathematics. I would like to explain a global picture of a class material, what to expect from learning the class. All of this is not to scare students, but to mentally prepare them with the challenge ahead. I like to give my student quizzes after the tutoring, just to make sure they understand. This is a feedback process, so I could adjust my tutoring style accordingly.

Wreck ends Amber Alert for four year old

A three vehicle accident quickly cancelled an Amber Alert that had just been released for a four year old child that had been allegedly abducted from her grandmother's home in Americus by her mother.
At approximately 3:07 p.m. on Thursday, May 16, at the intersection of Georgia 117 (Rhine Road) and US 341 (Terry Coleman Parkway), Priscilla Ann Hurt (age 24), of Americus, was driving a 2003 Chevrolet Malibu east on US 341 when she hit the driver's side of a 2000 Toyota Camry, driven by Donnie Henry DeLoach (age 25), of Eastman, after he ran the red light at the intersection of Georgia 117. DeLoach was traveling north toward Eastman.
The Malibu then skidded across the grass median and flipped over, ejecting four year old Mi-Kurhea Mumford from the vehicle and then hit a Honda Civic in the driver's side. The Honda was driven by Bharatkumar D. Mistry (age 47), of Perry.
The Eastman Fire Department had to use the Jaws of Life to extricate DeLoach from his vehicle. Both he and Mumford were air lifted by two separate helicopters to the Medical Center of Central Georgia in Macon.
Mumford was reported to have suffered a skull fracture. DeLoach was reported to have suffered pelvic injuries, broken ribs and a broken collarbone.
No car seat was found in the vehicle driven by Hurt and authorities also do not believe Mumford was wearing a seat belt.
Hurt was taken to Dodge County Hospital and was later turned over to authorities. According to the Americus Police Department, Hurt has been charged with kidnapping her daughter and is currently incarcerated in the Sumter County jail.
Mumford had been living with her grandmother, which is where police think she was when Hurt allegedly abducted her.
According to the Amber Alert sent Thursday, Mumford and Hurt were last seen at 100 Palm Court Springs in Americus, near I-75 in south
Mistry was treated for minor injuries and released.

New Club
Oct 21, 2005 4:26AM PST
I just created a new club. If there weren't enough NDS clubs there should be now. The club is Nintendo DS Mods. It is to talk about Mods.(modifications) to/for the NDS. Anything you have created or bought for the NDS. Anything that has to do w/ the NDS is fair game. If you have one drop on by and share thoughts on any accessories or mods you have used or use.

Vacation begins as you enter the foyer of Casa Tortuga; the beautiful Caribbean Sea announces it's presence thru the glass windows and doors of the living area. Enjoy the fresh, free flowing 2 story open concept with its tropical flair of spacious living/terrace areas. Both master suites on the 2nd level have large in suite bathrooms with sunken bathtubs along with separate private balconies to relax and embrace your Caribbean paradise. Inspired by the many Sea Turtles whose homing instincts return them to Playa del Secreto to burrow into the white sand and lay their eggs. Witness the nesting process and hatching, as the baby sea turtles return to the sea. Services and amenities include private house staff, concierge, security, wireless internet; massage and babysitting available. The kitchen is complete for your own cooking needs. However, to truly enjoy your vacation; request the services of our on site Chef. All you need is a Bathing Suit. Enjoy Resort amenities without the Resort
From the moment we arrived we were in awe at how the pictures on the website did not do the villa justice! The location was perfect, the layout was spacious and comfortable. It was clean and very well maintained and having the cleaning staff come in each day – and actually cleaned, not just tidy up – was a fabulous touch. We were not messy guests, just tracked in a lot of sand no matter how hard we tried not to! We did not get a chance to meet the owner but Mauricio, the Villa Manager, is a sweetheart.
The security guard in the Palapa was very helpful and understood English enough to have our transportation needs met as we did not rent a vehicle. A roundtrip taxi to Puerto Morales or Playa del Carmen ran about $50 USD on the average - more or less depending on the number of passengers.
We had dinner reservations at Alux (Aloosh) in Playa one evening. It was wonderful and would definitely return again. A 'must see' establishment if you have never been there. We also purchased the four-day meal plan in the Palapa. The food and service were superb! Rafael the chef and Russell the waiter took very good care of us!
The only concern throughout the whole experience of planning, booking and arriving for this trip was early on, trying to contact firstname.lastname@example.com to get some questions answered. Once Mauricio got involved, it was never an issue!
As for Hacienda del Secreto overall – we are already planning to book again next year, if they will have us!
We recently stayed at Casa Tortuga as we do just about every year for the last 10 years. It is a perfect family retreat that is centrally located for everything in the Riviera Maya. The home is always well maintained and stocked. The beach is secure and very private, yet you are close enough to shopping, restaurants, and all the golf and eco resort excursions you will be able to fit in your vacation time. I highly recommend Casa Tortuga to anyone.
I have had the pleasure of staying at Casa Sarita on many occasions, and the accommodations, staff, location, and service have always far exceeded my expectations. The villa is absolutely gorgeous, inside and out, and lounging in the infinity pool looking out over the beach and crystal clear Caribbean water is an experience beyond words. I have always felt safe there and have appreciated all the "inside scoop" regarding dining, activities, etc. from Doy, who has owned and managed the property for many years, If you're looking for a little slice of heaven, I recommend Casa Sarita – you will not be disappointed. Cathy Anderson
Playa del Secreto is synonymous with paradise! When looking for a beach front vacation destination, Casa Sarita in Playa del Secreto is a must-stay vacation spot! No one can compare to Doy and her staff in making your vacation a little piece of Heaven. The villa is beautifully decorated, the meals are scrumptious, the grounds are gorgeous, the hot tub evokes serenity. Once outside, the infinity pool overlooks the turquoise blue Caribbean and sandy beaches - it is a breath-taking view. Every attention is paid to detail; every wish is accommodated. Although there is no need to go anywhere, Doy is wonderful at making suggestions of places to go, things to do and see. I have vacationed here several times; every time I have to leave, I can't wait to go back. Re-entry into the real world is a harsh reality after staying at Casa Sarita!
This villa is everything that is said to be. Very well taken care of, owner makes you feel at home and is very helpful with anything you would like to do. I would highly recommend this to anyone. It is the most relaxing vacation we take every year!

Playa del Secreto means 'Secret Beach' in Spanish. Wild mangrove and freshwater pools attract beautiful birds, and healthy reef is home to spectacular tropical Caribbean sea life. Casa Tortuga is located in the heart of this magnificent historical and geographical area known as the Riviera Maya. The Riviera Maya is the stretch of beach front that runs from Cancun to Tulum. All within a 5 minute to 45 minute max drive from the villa you can explore more beaches/cenotes and caves, Mayan ruins, eco parks, jungle tours, diving/snorkeling/fishing, zoo, 9 championship golf courses, shopping, fine & local dining and nightlife. Airport is 20 minutes away, Playa del Carmen is 15 minutes away, Puerto Morelos is 7 minutes away, Tulum Mayan Ruins is 45 minutes away, Cancun Hotel Zone 35 minutes away. Cozumel is 15 minutes by car then 30 minutes by Ferry, Isla Mujeres is 40 minutes away then 30 minutes by Ferry or........ You can simply stay put at Casa Tortuga and let our staff pamper and serve you!
Other Activities: para-sailing, wave runners

"A modern mythic journey"
marvelous hero's journey
Kolya. He's the mentor, the life force who enables the hero to cross over into
No histrionics just straight out unobtrusive narration.
It does both. There's the horror of Nazi atrocities, but the irrepressible antics of Kolya.
"Very Good Book"
Perlman had great accents. The story was great and from a really interesting perspective.
Off the top of my head, I would compare it in some ways to Cormack
It would be a huge spoiler if I said.
The boy who is the main character.
Great book - kept me interested throughout.
Loved the character development. Never have listened to this aspect of WWll, so also loved the history. Tragic though it was! Highly recommend!
"Pick this one."
I was not that interested in this book after I read the plot summary, but I bought it anywya when friend said she liked it. It sat in my itunes library for a couple of months before I finally listened to it.
However, I was captivated by the story and eventually the narrator (who perfectly fit his character). The novel is really about these two guys, Lev and Kolya; their task to get eggs is only a frame in which to tell their stories. While it is a plot-driven novel, the writing is excellent, and the is story surprisingly funny in places while moving in others. I enjoyed it very much. This is the book that I'm currently recommending to my friends. Also, check out the NY Times' review for a better analysis than mine.
"Very Enlightening"
A very captivating story. Not a lot goes well for these characters, and it's hard to imagine surviving the difficult times they experienced, but the story was well written, and the narrator captivating. The characters come alive and the story moves along. It's hard to believe so much happens in a 4-5 day period.
There are several intense and memorable events in the book. It's hard to believe some people can be so evil and inhumane ... the torture inflicted on innocent people, and the dogs carrying bombs are hard to get out of your mind!
Ron has such a deep and commanding voice. He gave a different personality to each character, and it was never difficult to know who was speaking.
Definitely a great book that you hate to put down, and can't wait to get back to.
This book was chosen by a book group member, and I didn't think I would like it. But it was very enlightening. I realized that my generation has never truly endured tough times!
"excellent read"
Great story. great characters. really good narration. I rarely give 5 stars but I really enjoyed this book: funny, sad, exciting, quick read.
"Detailed, gripping, beautiful"
I wish this book were longer than 8 hours. I finished it in two days. It was incredible. The only audiobook I've listened to that actually made me cry. Which is extremely uncommon for me. You will not be disappointed with story or narration.
I read/listen. Constantly. While the hands are busy, it is an esstenial that the mind be as well.
"Ron Perlman....Please Read Everything"
Benioff, you're amazing. I was sucked in by the 3rd paragraph. Perlman, you made all the pieces work.
The writing and reading was what made this character development novel 'work'. The narrator involves you with the story. The author drags you into situations you don't want to be in, but you love it. I've listen to this twice and every time I find something new. Can't wait for more Benioff.
"Difficult to listen to"
My biggest problem with the performance of City of Thieves is that the entire story follows two characters, and at multiple dialogues it was almost impossible to understand who was talking since the narration of the voices was so similar.
"great historical fiction"
I love historical fiction and this was a wonderful simple story with World War I and Russia as its backround. The narrator took some getting used to but by the middle I was all in with the accents. It was every bit as good as enthralling as Pillars of the Earth.

By Patricia Zengerle and Richard Cowan WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. lawmakers expressed doubts on Thursday about Sept. 11 legislation they forced on President Barack Obama, saying the new law allowing lawsuits against Saudi Arabia could be narrowed to ease concerns about its effect on Americans abroad. A day after a rare overwhelming rejection of a presidential veto, the first during Obama's eight years in the White House, the Republican leaders of the Senate and House of Representatives opened the door to fixing the law as they blamed the Democratic president for not consulting them adequately. "I do think it is worth further discussing," Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told reporters, acknowledging that there could be "potential consequences" of the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act, known as JASTA.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Drug Enforcement Administration does a poor job overseeing the millions of dollars in payments it distributes to confidential sources, relies on tipsters who operate with minimal oversight or direction and has continued paying informants who were no longer supposed to be used, according to a government watchdog audit issued Thursday.

Topic: Deer Resistant
Title: Deer resistant plants for a bioswale in NJ
Answered by: Anne Bossart
QUESTION:We live in Morris County, New Jersey, on the edge of a nature preserve, i.e., deer are a bane to everything we plant. We recently had to have a swale dug on the west end of our house to deal alleviate water issues with our basement. The swale works great, but because our soil has such a high clay content the drainage rate is extremely poor and we have substantial pooling than can take at least a day or two to drain after a good rain (and can remain boggy for another day or two afterward). Are there any highly deer resistant, thirsty shrubs that we could plant either on the bank of the swale or in it to help abate the water issue? The area is pretty much in the sun all day. Thanks for your help.
Well ... you have two fairly significant challenges here.
I think you probably already know that there is no such thing as a highly deer resistant shrub. When they are hungry enough they will eat whatever is there, whether it is fuzzy, thorny or even poisonous. Once that is all gone, they ring your doorbell and ask for lettuce! I shouldn't joke about them ... they are a huge problem all over North America ... this Green Guru has battled them in gardens in NJ, Pennsylvania, Texas and Ontario. The damage they do to the cultivated landscape is enormous, but the damage they are doing to the understory and forest floor of the woodland ecosystem in the northeast now will affect the future of that ecosystem in ways that it is hard to imagine at this point.
You may find these links helpful. One is an article by Horticulture magazine and the other a list for your area put together by Rutgers.
Your second challenge is the swale. As you say, you are looking for plants that are adapted to the dry conditions that persist most of the time but can handle periods of extreme wetness. It so happens that planting a bioswale or rain garden is a very effective way to slow down stormwater run-off so that the water will infiltrate the soil instead of washing soil and pollutants into sewers and ultimately streams and lakes.
The Brooklyn Botanic Garden has published a very informative article about rain gardens and how to construct them as well as a plant list you will find helpful. Hopefully, you will find some plants on both lists!
You can find more information about rain gardens and sustainable gardening at the Landscape for Life website.
Good luck!

Picture from group : Summit of Sawel looking NE
Summit of Sawel looking NE
Lording it over Derry and Tyrone
Short Summary created by Harry Goodman, gerrym, 12 Sep 2010
Two popular start points for Sawel are (1) from the E on the high pass on the Sperrin Road at
. A fenceline goes up W and provides a sure guide to the summit area. At
, a fence junction, go right up to the trig pillar. (2) From the W on the Cranagh to Park road at
with ample of road parking near a cattle grid. Just N along the road a fence can be followed up ESE to Dart Mt. From the top head NE down a rocky slope to a wide saddle
and then up along a fence to a junction. The summit lies a short distance NE on the other side
. With two cars these two routes can be combined to make a fine linear walk. Longer alternatives allow approaches on foot from the B47 in the Glenelly Valley and give increased opportunities to savour the delights to come but add considerably to the distance walked. These include starting at the Sperrin Heritage Centre at
. Sawel has the honour of being the County Top for both Derry and Tyrone. While the accepted view in the past has been a shared summit alternative views posted on the site now suggest that the high point of Tyrone may lie either some 30/40 metres S of the trig pillar or within 3 metres from it. The debate continues! Walking here is usually done without meeting others and the weather can be pretty bad on occasion so come well prepared for sudden changes in weather. The views are stunning on a good day, from one side of Ireland to the other!

Summit of Sawel at 9am on Tuesday morning last
wicklore on Sawel, 2008
31 Oct 2008
At 6:50am on Tuesday morning last I sat in my car on the lonely Barnes Road to the east of Sawel at
. I was parked at a double gate, but careful not to block it. The outside temperature gauge read -1 Celsius and it was dark. Terrible weather was predicted but so far it had just rained. I spent some time getting my full winter gear on as I waited for the sun to rise. At 7:20 when it was light I headed up along the fence which led from the road up the eastern side of Sawel. It was soon joined by another fence and I continued to follow it east for the next 1.5 hours. Gerrym's comment on the fence leading almost to the summit provided comfort as a shocking hail and snow storm unleashed itself upon me. Soon the ground was covered in icy snow and the going got much tougher. Visibility was down to maybe 30 feet at times but following the fence made navigation easy. However both gps and compass were constantly checked. At point
the fence veered SW and I struck off to follow the slope uphill into the freezing fog and snow. This would be the only real navigation challenge of the day, and it turned out not to be a challenge as within a few minutes I came to the summit pillar. The contrast of black and white as the pillar rose out of the frozen ground made it look like a pencil drawing. Experience told me not to leave my gloves off for more than half a minute when taking photos. Even at that my hands were freezing and made putting my gloves back on difficult. While I did not benefit from any views I had bagged two County Tops with one mountain. The severe weather and the fact I was alone meant an extension to Dart Mountain was out of the question. I simply retraced my route back to the fence and followed it down to the road just over 2 kms away. While the fence made this route a straightforward handrail to the summit, it provided a great safe route to test winter gear in such weather. One thing that surprised me was that large balls of compact ice formed under my boots, providing me with 'stilts'. Possibly the snow was getting caught in my gaiter straps underfoot, and then forming into lumps. Walking poles were used to knock these off every so often, but it was the first time I had experienced this.

Picture from gerrym : Sawel
A 'very' Shapely Top
11 Feb 2014
Sawel may not be as exciting or as impressive as some hills in other parts of the country, but it is a special hill among a special range of hills. The fact that it is named after a part of the female anatomy (and indeed looks the part if you see the pic) can only add to the charm!
The best approach is along the high and lonely Sperrin road which heads upward out of the hamlet (even this is over descriptive) of Sperrin. Parking is available at an extensive layby at
. The road rises alongside Oughtnamwella Burn and brings increasingly impressive views over the Glenelly valley. It is most definitely worth the walk but there is also room to park at the high pass at over 1000ft - think of the exercise!
From the pass take the fenceline rising up the long E shoulder of Sawel, the going is steady with steeper sections but it is not too challenging and the fence is reassuring in poor weather - it is only near to the summit that need to leave its side and head off a short distance to the rare sight of a trig pillar in the Sperrins.
I would challenge anyone (in a duel to near death, preferably with pillows) to tell me that the views from here on a clear day can be beaten by another mountain in Ireland. Basically every county in Ulster is within sight of glazed eyes - at the amazingness of it all and in no way to do with drug use. Where else could you see nearly all of the hills of Donegal and all the way across to the hills of Antrim at the other side of Ireland? The whole of the Sperrin range is visible in all its glory, and as i have said in another comment this hill could on occasion make me briefly turn away from my steadfast atheism.
Sawel carries stature in being the highest point of the large Sperrin range and holds the weight of two county tops. For all this it is still a rare sight to see someone else on the mountain, even at the weekend, something that adds to its appeal i feel.
Return is by the same route but as you have come this far it is well worth travelling across the broad col and up to the summit of neighbouring Dart, which is different in character. Wait for a clear day, preferably one of those with a northerly breeze and the clear air that extends views and sharpness to truly experience the magic of the Sperrins - I know!

Looking east from the highest point in Tyrone
slemish on Sawel, 2009
20 Nov 2009
This was my first venture into the Sperrins and where better to start than the daddy of them all? Sawel looked majestic in the afternoon sunshine as I approached it via the road from Sperrin. Wanting a quick up and down, I parked at the second cattle grid as others suggested from here it is the easiest route up (639974). It's a long climb but not too steep, only in a couple of places did I find the going tough. The summit looks incredibly far away on the initial stages so I didn't stray too far from the fence, just to avoid boggy sections. It was amazingly sunny for late November and I was enjoying the weather, but nothing prepared me for the force of the wind coming up from Dart as I approached the 678m summit. I couldn't stand at the trig pillar for more than about a minute. The trig pillar looked very weather-beaten and no wonder. The only comparable wind I had experienced before was on Trostan but this was definitely worse. Excellent views however down the ridge to Dart and Mullaghclogha, north to Sleve Snaght and Binevenagh and round to Benbradagh and the lower Sperrins. It's only up here you get a sense of the scale and indeed the wilderness of the Sperrins. To the east I could just make out the outlines of Knocklayd, Slievenanee and Slemish through the haze. I made a hurried sortie over the fence to bag the county top of Tyrone as well, then descended quickly to get out of the wind. Job done - the highest mountain I've climbed so far and the first over 2000ft. Total trip - about 1.5 hours.

Derry / Tyrone County Top
23 Aug 2010
As I near the completion of my 2010 County Tops challenge, I would like to inform my fellow County Toppers about something I've recently learned about Sawel Mountain. A few weeks ago, I followed the "county boundary" fence to the summit from Sperrin Road. The fence passes about 10m west of the summit trig pillar which supposedly marks the County Top of Derry. I walked westwards from it to the highest point along the fence about 10m west. There were two small boulders - one each side of the fence - which served nicely as a stile. The boulder on the west side of the fence seemed the most likely location of the County Top of Tyrone, so I felt a need to stand on it. I realise there can be a lack of precision associated with certain County Tops (see my MV entry for Seltannasaggart SE Slope), and I wanted to be absolutely sure about this one too. OSNI 1:50,000 Sheet 13 and 1:25,000 Sperrins Activity Map both show the county boundary passing very close to the Sawel Mountain trig pillar. In fact, the Sperrins Activity Map clearly shows the boundary deviating away from the fence to possibly pass through the pillar. I checked with OSNI, and they've informed me that the county boundary is an "undefined" boundary (i.e. one which is not coincident with any feature). If the fence had marked the boundary, it would have been a "defined" boundary. This confirms that the fence, used by many people as a navigational guide to the summit, doesn't mark the county boundary. OSNI also checked the location of the trig pillar and the county boundary on their digital mapping. From this, they measured that the trig pillar lies 0.8m on the Tyrone side of the county boundary. However, they could only confirm an accuracy of 2m - in other words, the trig pillar could be 2.8m into Tyrone or it could just as easily be 1.2m into Derry. A townland boundary also crosses the summit, intersecting the county boundary within 2m of the trig pillar. The proximity of these two boundaries to the trig pillar and the 2m accuracy of the mapping leads me to believe that the trig pillar marks the point where the county and townland boundaries intersect. While it's not possible to pinpoint the County Top of either Derry or Tyrone based on the most accurate large-scale mapping available, there appears to be a strong possibility that the Sawel Mountain trig pillar marks the top of both counties. It certainly marks the top of at least one. If it marks the top of Derry only, then the top of Tyrone is up to 1.2m to the south of it. If it marks the top of Tyrone only, then the top of Derry is up to 2.8m to the north of it. Based on the high level of uncertainty and the tiny distances involved, it is best to assume that the trig pillar is located directly on the county boundary and marks the County Top of both Derry and Tyrone. To be absolutely sure you get both counties, walk a tight circle around the trig pillar and then spiral out gradually until you are 2.8m from it. It's the only way to be sure.

taking the strain near the summit of Sawel
gerrym on Sawel, 2007
13 Jun 2007
Climbed 5.3.06 after a week of cold weather and snow. Tramping up the narrow road from Sperrin hamlet heavy hail showers obscured the summit, not giving much confidence of fantastic views. The climb up the long E shoulder was through deep powder snow, glistening in the sunlight as the weather cleared, with drifting in places. Following the fenceline upward the mist at the top began to clear to a deep, cold blue sky. My pace quickened to capture the views, though I had no need to worry and was able to linger on the summit in perfect conditions. Gobsmacking views to distant summts capped with snow in Donegal, with dark snow clouds scurrying across the intervening countryside against the clearest of blue skies. The wind was strong and biting but i had the hill to myself and took the opportunity to savour what was before me - if I was a believer I would be tempted to say that it was a near religious experience.
Dart beckoned across the ridge, looking quite different in a winter coat. Sheltering against the summit cairn as a snow shower whipped across brought a smile to my face, in relative warmth. I just had to return the same way and again spent time on a clear summit of Sawel taking in the views of the surrounding high and low hills before reluctantly dropping down. A great way to spend four hours any Sunday.
