Rhodes Cook letter
No full textSubscription dates from February 2013 (Volume 14) to December 2020 (Volume 20).Since its inception in 2000, 'The Rhodes Cook Letter' has been following U.S. elections for president, Congress, and governorships, as well as providing analysis of voting trends that these elections produce. In both presidential and midterm election cycles, the Letter takes a close look at primary contests as well as the November balloting, with an interest in placing both primary and general election results in historical context

Oral History Interview with Jesse Cook, April 8, 2004
No full textThe National Museum of the Pacific War presents an interview with Jesse Cook. Cook joined the Army in March of 1943. He served as a private with C Battery, 414th Tank Battalion, 20th Armored Division. Cook’s job was to load the 105mm howitzer aboard the M7 tank. In February of 1945, they deployed to Le Havre, France. In April, Cook served in combat along the Rhine River in support of the 101st Airborne Division near Delhoven, Germany and the 82nd Airborne Division across the river from Hitdorf, Germany. He continued in combat from the Rhine into Munich. Upon entering Salzburg in May, hostilities ceased. He returned to the US and was discharged in late 1945
A Visual Analysis of Meet … Captain Cook (2011) – a Modern Australian Picture Book
No full textThis article analyses how images and text have been used in the children’s picture book Meet … Captain Cook (2011) by using the Ideational, Interpersonal and Textual metafunctions developed by Clare Painter et al. (2013). The metafunctions operate simultaneously and are about something (ideational), enable communicative interaction with others (interpersonal), and make sense in relation to previous understandings (textual). An examination of the images and texts using this framework will facilitate an insight into how the author and illustrator of Meet … Captain Cook explore Cook and his legacy, notably his first encounter with the First Nations peoples of Australia, and how it contrasts with the historical record. The metafunctions developed by Painter reveal an often-precarious balancing of a long-standing and often uninterrogated respect for Cook and the colonial legacy of white possession and Indigenous dispossession
Oral History Interview with John Cook, June 14, 2006
No full textThe National Museum of the Pacific War presents an interview with John Cook. Cook joined the Navy in November of 1939, and completed submarine school. Beginning April of 1942, he served as a fireman aboard the USS Silversides (SS-236). He traveled to Japan and Truk participating in 2 successful war patrols. From November of 1944 through April of 1945 he was assigned to the USS Flasher (SS-249), traveling to the South China Sea and completing war patrols five and six, sinking two Japanese destroyers, Kishinami and Iwanami. After the war ended, Cook enlisted in the Army, when he was discharged as Chief Petty Officer in August of 1945

Development of a low cost cook-off test for assessing the hazard of explosives
No full textA low cost Cook-Off experimental facility has been established to provide a convenient method of ranking explosives in their response to Cook-Off by the time to event under two widely different heating rates and at two different scales. This thesis describes the literature review undertaken as preparation for the purposed study and all the experimental work developed comprising the design of the trials vehicles, the demonstration of their suitability for Fast and Slow Cook-Off trials with confined explosive systems, the preparation of the samples and test vehicles to be trialled as well as the set-up of adequate facilities to undertake the scheduled firing programme. Results are reported for Cook-Off tests on TNT, RDX, and their mixtures.
The emphasis of the study is on time to event, and temperature at event, and in addition a qualitative assessment of the violence of the event was made by examination of the fragments of the vehicles, although it is accepted that the relatively light and low cost design of the vehicle may lead to variable confinement in the early stages of the explosive event, and hence to a wider spread of responses than would be obtained from a more heavily confined and more costly vehicle.
The test vehicles give results, which differentiate between the various explosives and explosive mixtures trialled and between the scales. More experiments are required to establish the reproducibility of the measurements. The design of the equipment makes this a relatively inexpensive undertaking.
The experiment was modelled using published kinetic data, but the calculated time to event differed from that observed to different extents at the two scales. It is hypothesised that the mechanism may change over the prolonged heat soaks and that quantitative scaling is not possible with the available information.
Further work is also suggested using a different type of Cook-Off test vehicle, which will in our opinion reduce even further the cost of Cook-Off testing, due to reduction in man-hours of preparation involved and manufacture cost of the Cook-Off test vehicles, and consequently of ranking of explosives
