Peak Trading are making canoe clothing and hope to begin importing soon.
The name is likely to cause confusion with Pete Astles’ Peak Performance, who also make canoe clothing.
John had the name first and this being about the only tangible asset retrieved from the Wavesports collapse, but when Pete set up his firm at a later date there was no indication that John would be producing clothing. Growth in Japan
The Japanese market grew by 11% last year.
The major lines were imported polyethylene white water kayaks (27%), home built folding singles (23%), home built folding doubles (12%) and imported polyethylene sea kayaks (7%).
Polyethylene doubles and inflatables are the only products not made in Japan but 55% of canoes and kayaks are still imported. RHB Design’s clock at £12 can be purchased with your club name as an option.

I am not suggesting that one should even form…

I am not suggesting that one should even form an interpretative overview, merely that details of notation, phrasing and articulation and tempo, dynamics and so on are considered alongside balance and texture, and even acoustical implications. In other words, concentrating on the objective rather than the subjective. Music is quite unlike any other art form.
Painting, architecture (as its most pure), and literature have a definitive form or text, and although the same can be said of drama whilst it remains on the printed page, its conversion to the performing medium allows a great deal more flexibility than music ever can.
If hamlet (or rather the actor playing him), catches a frog in his throat during a soliloquy and since one is experiencing a human drama this needn’t be in the least distracting ” indeed the element of human fallibility and frailty thus introduced could even enhance the impact of the performance (admittedly it could also be unintentionally quite hilarious)! Music is very different altogether.
The score is sacrosanct (yes, even early scores where performers were left to improvise at will and since the original performing tradition is now lost to us), and except in relatively extreme cases normally gives a clear indication of exactly which notes should be played and when.
Even when the notation of early scores is open to interpretative prejudice, one must still ultimately work from a prepared text.
THEN IT’S OVER TO THE PERFORMER(S), AND it is here (at least in the Western Classical music tradition) and that the point of contract for the great majority of music lovers occurs: not with the original text (as with paintings, architecture, novels, poetry, often even drama), but with the interpreter .
The trouble is that whereas actors move and speak as nature would have most of us do (only rather better), in the performance of music we are using tools (with the exception of the human voice) which are in some way external; they have to be mastered from without rather than from within ” and things do go wrong.
Unlike our example of the coughing Hamlet (an unavoidable extension of natural human behaviour), performers who play wrong notes, chords and rhythms etc., or milder distortions of any of these, are quite simply wrong !
Now, in the context of a “live” performance (a very good one, at least) and this need not matter unduly if the spirit of the music has been captured successfully; but is this really enough for a recording?
For those of us lucky enough to be able to read and play music, it certainly can be, fore the mind can then override textual aberrations of this kind (providing they are not too excessive).
But what of those listeners whose only experience of the score is through performance by others?
Surely a recording for posterity (as opposed to a one-off “live” experience) and should not merely satisfy the performer’s ego (my “Eroica”,my Heldenleben), but also the composer’s intentions s far as they can be reliably gathered from the original score.

Business mythology has it that computer firms in…

Business mythology has it that computer firms in Japan are no good at software and will never break the dominance of IBM and the world’s biggest computer company.
But important changes in the way computers are sold are beginning to favour the Japanese
Japan’s electronics companies are well on their way to attaining their often stated goal ” breaking IBM’s stranglehold on the world’s computer industry.
The American firm accounts for some 60 per cent of the world’s annual sales of computers and has a turnover around $30000 million.
In 1980, it spent $1.5 billion on research, more than the whole of the Japanese computer industry.
These figures make IBM a natural target for Japan’s electronics firms, which are relative newcomers to computers but have high aspirations of success.
For years the Japanese have tried to match IBM by selling what are called plug compatibles.
These are machines that run on IBM software and in other ways appear similar to the equipment of the market leader.
The strategy is to sell the plug compatibles for less than the price of the equivalent IBM machine but to make them at least as powerful, or to provide more for the same money.
In the early 1970s, industry observers thought that IBM was strong enough to shake off the challenge from Japan.
But since 1977 and the country’s computer manufacturers have consistently matched the American company’s price reductions.
What is more, each time the market leader unveiled a new processor and the Japanese competition went one better with its own machines.
The most important challengers to IBM are Fujitsu, Hitachi, and NEC (which all make large or “mainframe” computers) followed by three big electronics firms, Mitsubishi Electric, Oki and Toshiba.
The latter specialise in business computers, word processors and “peripheral” equipment for attaching to computers.
Between 1975 and 1980 annual production of Japanese computer manufacturers increased by 139 per cent to $4700 million (1293 billion Yen). Exports as a share of production increased from 68 per cent to 107 per cent.
By 1990, industry observers expect Japan to account for 30 per cent of world sales of computer-related goods, compared with 11.2 per cent in December 1980.

The unprecedented offer to buy the 800 homes and 50 businesses in the town followed the publication of the results of the analysis of soil samples taken after the flood by the National Centers for Disease Control.
A majority of the 248 samples taken from road dirt and drainage ditches showed dioxin levels of one part per billion; some samples had 300 parts per billion of dioxin.
According to CDC spokesman David Ferney and the post-flood results confirmed the pre-flood analyses made in December.
On 23 December, CDC advised Times Beach residents to leave the town because the dioxin posed a long-term risk to human health.
But the EPA wanted to wait for the results of the post-flood analysis in the hope that the floods would dilute the dioxin. They did not.
The announcement last week was the first bit of positive news to come out of the beleaguered EPA for weeks.
The agency is thrashing about in the grip of an angry Congress that is bent on uncovering mismanagement and conflicts-of-interest at the agency.
Last December, Congress charged that money set aside for cleaning up several of the 400 “top-priority” dumps had been held up last autumn so as not to benefit local Democratic officeholders, who were fighting off Republican challengers in the November elections.
Meanwhile and the fund’s top hand, Rita Lavelle, was accused of harassing an EPA official who criticised the agency’s toxic waste programme, and then of lying about her conduct to inquiring congressmen at later hearings.
The House of Representatives took the unprecedented step of citing Burford for “contempt of Congress”" a charge that, if proved, could put her behind bars.
Burford’s crime and they said, was to refuse (at President Reagan’s request) to turn over scores of EPA documents relating to deals EPA made with businesses that dumped hazardous wastes.
The EPA insists that deals are better than lengthy lawsuits, but some in Congress suspect that polluting companies are getting off lightly.
Lavelle then accused the agency’s top lawyer of being too tough on polluting companies. That got her fired on 7 February.
And word got out that a paper shredder was busily eating superfund documents. Last week, however and the White House relented.
Reagan fired a handful of top EPA officials and replaced them with five fresh-faced outsiders.

The court’s decision came in a case brought by two utilities and that provide power in California. against the state’s six-year-old ban on new plants.
The Reagan administration had cast its lot with the power companies.
But the Supreme Court decided that only questions of safety or public exposure to radiation are within the federal government’s domain.
No country has yet settled on how to rid itself forever of the thousands of tonnes of highly radioactive nuclear waste that is piling up at power plants.
In the US, plants are storing spent fuel assemblies in pools near their reactors.
But the federal Department of Energy has helped to accelerate research on waste disposal by arguing that these pools are becoming dangerously crowded ” an argument the plants’ owners echo.
A law was passed last year to establish a timetable for building a national dump that could store radioactive waste safely for thousands of years.
The law says the president must nominate a site, from several now being considered, by 1987. The country must build a working repository by about 1998.
Candidates include underground salt domes, basalt or granite formations and deposits of tuff (volcanic ash).
Finding ways of soothing political opposition to the dumping of highly radioactive waste could prove more difficult than solving the scientific problems.
Governors of two of the states say they won’t take other people’s nuclear garbage. California is not alone in its pessimism over the future of waste disposal.
Five other states have passed similar moratoria, citing the economic uncertainty of nuclear power’s future. The federal government fears that other states are likely to follow suit.

The only deaf person at the Congress…

The only deaf person at the Congress was one of the American delegation.
Eight resolutions were put before the Congress and the most crucial being the first two which proposed that since education of deaf children by the proven Oral Method was far superior and the use of sign language in education should no longer be used.
These resolutions were carried by a massive 160 votes to 4 ” these four being three Americans along with Richard Elliott.
For reasons of his own and the Rev. Stainer voted for the introduction of the Oral Method.
The consequences arising from the resolutions passed at this unrepresentative international congress had serious repercussions on deaf education, not to mention the status of deaf adults.
The Milan Congress not only severely retarded the development of generations of deaf children for whom the Oral Method was totally inappropriate but also caused the loss of hundreds of teaching jobs held by deaf people throughout the world in schools for the deaf.
Apart from the appointment of Edward Kirk to the post of Principal at Leeds in 1881 it was to be almost 100 years before deaf people once again became acceptable as teachers of deaf children.
Report of the Royal Commission on the Education of the Blind and the Deaf and Dumb.
The Milan Congress gave impetus to those who favoured the Pure Oral method to agitate for the inclusion of education of the deaf in the proposed Royal Commission that was to be formed to look at educational provision for the blind in Britain, on the grounds that the Education Acts of the 1870s had ignored educational provision for the deaf and dumb.
While it was true that previous Education Acts had not looked at deaf education and the real motive was the need to provide a powerful argument to a Royal Commission for the establishment of the Pure Oral system throughout Britain.
As it turned out the final Report, published in 1889 after almost five years of investigation, did embody a number of recommendations regarding the education of deaf children in future Education Acts and thus setting out for the first time proper legislation with regard to compulsory entry, ages of admission and the length of education and the size of classes, and even that Principals/Headmasters of boarding institutions had to reside on the premises.
However, it also leant heavily on the opinions of people like Alexander Graham Bell who were fervent supporters of the Pure Oral Method, and even Dr. David Buxton who managed to get in a recommendation on his pet subject and that intermarriage of deaf people should be discouraged (see Chapter 5). Arguments presented by Dr. E.M.
Gallaudet, a firm believer of the combined system, and by leading deaf people like George Healey of Liverpool, and by experienced teachers or missioners of the deaf in favour of the combined or sign system like Elliott, Welsh, Rhind were all largely dismissed or ignored in the Report’s recommendations, which were in essence that the Pure Oral system should be used to educate the deaf and that teachers for the deaf should be properly qualified, experienced in teaching in ordinary schools, and be in possession of all their faculties .
When the Report was subsequently embodied into an Act of Parliament, many born-deaf people of undoubted ability found themselves debarred from taking up teaching as a profession unless they could first prove they were able to teach in ordinary schools.
The situation still exists to-day in the 1980s but there is a more flexible and liberal attitude and deaf teachers of the deaf are once more gaining teaching appointments. Day Classes
One significant consequence of the Milan Congress, and also recommended in the Royal Commission’s report, was the rapid growth of day classes for deaf children in urban areas large enough to support such classes.
The trend was started with Hull and Sheffield, as well as in London, but the 1880s saw others established in Leeds, Nottingham, Leicester and in Airdrie in Scotland.
Of these classes, perhaps the most significant was the one established in April 1881 in Leeds with the local missioner Joseph Moreton as the first teacher.
However, Moreton was unable to give sufficient time to the class, and within six months, he was replaced by Edward A. Kirk.
This appointment was unique, and was the only instance of its kind ” it was also to be the last for over a century, because Edward A. Kirk was deaf. Edward A. Kirk (18481917)

If the computer does not receive this message, it does not execute the program.
Standard disc drives cannot duplicate the “I cannot read that” instruction because the unreadable sectors have data written on them at twice the normal speed.
However, every drive has a speed control and so once the pirate knows where the unreadable sectors are, he can duplicate the message at the right speed.
Software such as the Diskey program, which helps to investigate the format of discs, is essential for the process. Happy Chip:
The 810 enhancement and back-up is a circuit board which plugs into the standard disc drive for Atari computers. It costs $230 in the US.
When installed with a disc (the Happy back-up) it automatically performs all the operations needed to copy a guarded disc. Happy Chip works by telling the drive to run at twice its design speed.
It also has an “enable tracer” which cuts down the time needed to run off a large number of copies from one disc. (An innocent enthusiast would have no use for this.)
Finally, because some software houses have already started to write in copyguards that can detect Happy Chips, it has a “slow it down” mode which prevents the copyguard from spotting the intruder. Wet windmill

In fact and the numbers of educationally subnormal children in special schools in England and Wales increased progressively from about 18 000 in 1950 to over 107 000 in 1979.
Nobody suggests that this is all due to lead, but I am not aware that either Rutter or anybody else has provided any convincing alternative explanation for the phenomenon.
If and say, measles had shown such an increase, we should now be talking about a major epidemic.
Secondly, Rutter evidently holds that any behavioural effects of lead are irrelevant to social phenomena, eg juvenile delinquency.
In this, one recognises that he is trying to defend the questionable but deeply entrenched politico-sociological dogma that social phenomena result only from social causes.
Thus he sought in his lecture to ridicule the suggestion made by Waldron and myself in 1974 that detoxification with penicillamine might be a useful alternative to prison (itself almost wholly useless) in the management of those types of offender exhibiting the hyperactivity syndrome.
In any case, Rutter’s ridicule seems a grotesquely inappropriate response to our constructive and it now seems, prescient and suggestion made some six years before he first presented his own distinguished views on the subject of lead pollution. Professor Derek Bryce-Smith Department of Chemistry University of Reading Nuclear nuances
In his article reporting on the recent declassification publication of Dr Hans Bethe’s 1954 article on the development of the Super, Professor P. V. Danckwerts cites my book J Robert Oppenheimer ” Shatterer of Worlds , as the trigger for the publication (Forum, 17 February, p 471).
He reports Bethe as considering the book to be misleading in its account of the development of the Super.
Bethe’s article represents an invaluable first hand account of the crucial years in the development of the Super.
It is particularly interesting in the way that it counters the widely held view that Los Alamos was dragging its feet over the development of the Super even after the presidential directive in early 1950 for a crash programme towards producing a hydrogen weapon.
It also throws new and interesting light on the real needs for establishing the Livermore Laboratory for Dr Edward Teller.
However, it is only in these areas that I can perceive any major divergence in my account and Bethe’s.
Both accounts demonstrate that, until Stanislav Ulam’s observation that X-rays could be used to propagate an instant fusion reaction, Teller had been working on a fundamentally impractical design.
Both accounts also demonstrate that as soon as this new configuration was established, Oppenheimer described it as “technically so sweet”, and it was translated into practical terms in under two years, for the November 1952 “MIKE” test. Peter Goodchild London W14

OTTERS 3, HASLEMERE IV 3
The “Ruffians” showed great character in twice coming from behind in a fast and sporting contest.
Haslemere took time to settle down against a predominantly young side, obviously well coached and organised.
The home team were kept at bay by the stout defence of Dilworth, Reeve and Snewing, but eventually a lucky deflection enabled the Otters centre-forward to score.
This roused the Ruffians from their lethargy and they were unlucky not to be level when a Sharman shot was deflected on to a post. The first ten minutes of the second half belonged entirely to Haslemere.
Murphy and seemingly in perpetual motion, aided by Bennie and Panchaud and took control of midfield and supplied quick, accurate passes to the wingers.
Good work by young Nick Turner resulted in the cross from which Sharman equalised.
More skilful play by Roberts and Turner sent Hamilton clear and his well-struck shot put Haslemere ahead.
But as Haslemere relaxed the Otters came back into the game, equalised and went ahead from well-struck short corners. Again Haslemere came fighting back.
Eventually, Murphy ran at the Otters defence and scored the equaliser with a brilliant solo effort.
It then took all the experience of the Haslemere defence to deny Otters a further goal. Hockey “minis” do Alton proud

Over the past few weeks, Apple has been courting the press with sneak previews of Lisa on the condition that the participants undertook not to breath a word of what they had seen until the machine was officially announced on 20 January (simultaneously around the world).
So inflexible was this masterplan that when New Scientist attempted to introduce someone who knew nothing about computers to the machine (it is claimed to be very easy to use) we were turned down on the grounds that “this would upset the timetable”.

David Challinor continues his research notebook from Washington THE OFFSPRING of most animals are equally divided between males and females. There are, of course, exceptions.
Honey bees, whose workers, although uniformly female and genetically identical to the queen, are infertile.
A few decades ago at the US Department of Agriculture Experimental Station in Beltsville, Maryland, only female clucks were hatched from synthetically fertilised turkey eggs. These turkeys were also infertile.
Turtles provide us with a different example.
The sex of their progeny is determined by variation in the incubation temperature of their eggs.
We must expect, however and that over the years total production from a given turtle population will produce males or females about equally. This assumption, however, has not and to my knowledge, been tested.
The discovery of an animal population with a skewed sex ratio thus triggers a search for an explanation of an unnatural condition.
I would here like to give two examples of such skewed populations and to speculate on the seeming anomaly.
While studying the sloths of Barro Colorado Island in Panama and scientists from the Smithsonian Institution observed that the small moths living in colonies, from 10 to 50, in the fur of these mammals were sexually skewed towards males. The moths (Cryptoses choloepi ) are about the size of a housefly.
Despite considerable research on both the two-toed and three-toed sloth and the moth’s life cycle was unknown.
As the investigation progressed and the researchers found that on the two-toed species males outnumbered females 3.1, and on the more common three-toed sloth it was 7:1.
Only adult moths lived in the fur and there was no sign of eggs or larvae on any sloth.
To account for the absence of eggs the Smithsonian scientists removed female moths and ready to lay, from captured sloths to screened cages, where the moths promptly laid their eggs on any hard surface.
