Diary of Richard Cocks, Cape-Merchant in the English Factory in Japan, 1615–1622
No full textThe publications of the Hakluyt Society (founded in 1846) made available edited (and sometimes translated) early accounts of exploration. The first series, which ran from 1847 to 1899, consists of 100 books containing published or previously unpublished works by authors from Christopher Columbus to Sir Francis Drake, and covering voyages to the New World, to China and Japan, to Russia and to Africa and India. Volumes 66 and 67 of the series, edited by E. M Thompson and first published in 1883, contain the bulk of the diary of Richard Cocks (c.1565–1624), supplemented by a selection of letters. Cocks was the head of a trading post established in Japan by the British East India Company from its foundation in 1613 until 1622, when it went out of business. His diary describes Japanese society and culture in the early seventeenth century, as well as the activities of British merchants there.</jats:p

A Degradation Function Consistent with Cocks–Ashby Porosity Kinetics
No full textThe load carrying capacity of ductile materials degrades as a function of porosity, stress state and strain-rate. The effect of these variables on porosity kinetics is captured by the Cocks–Ashby model; however, the Cocks–Ashby model does not account for material degradation directly. This work uses a yield criteria to form a degradation function that is consistent with Cocks–Ashby porosity kinetics and is a function of porosity, stress state and strain-rate dependence. Approximations of this degradation function for pure hydrostatic stress states are also explored

<p>Cocks and Carmichael was Australian architectural partnership formed in Melbourne in 1967 by Robin Cocks (born Melbourne,25 Nov 1941) and Peter Carmichael (born Melbourne, 18 July 1942). Cocks and Carmichael both studied at the University of Melbourne, Cocks graduating in 1965, and Carmichael in 1966. After short stints working in various Melbourne architectural practices, they established their architectural practice in 1967. In the 1960s and 1970s Cocks and Carmichael designed homes focusing on affordable and sustainable housing. The practice designed some of Melbourne’s most innovative individual and project houses, many located on the Mornington Peninsula. From 1970 the practice collaborated with two project building companies, Design 70, a short-lived project home building company based in South Yarra, and Civic Constructions, a leading project home building company founded in Sydney in 1960 which expanded to Melbourne in 1969. In the late 1970s Cocks & Carmichael became consultant architects to Merchant Builders, an influential Australian project house-building company. In 1979 the practice won awards for the Solar House designed for Landmark Builders. During the 1980s, the firm moved into other fields, including public architecture and urban design, significant projects include the Moorabbin City Offices and Council Chambers (1988) and the Yarra River Pedestrian Bridge, Southbank, (1989). In 2015 Robin Cocks and Peter Carmichael donated the practice’s archive to the RMIT Design Archives.</p>

Narrated Rand: HUAC, engraved invitations, and the real of sexual difference
No full textThis chapter of my edited book on Rand draws on Rand’s testimony before the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), her description of the individualism of one of the heroes of her novel The Fountainhead, the infamous rape scene in that novel, and the celebrated analysis of this by Slavoj Žižek. The aim is to suggest that the purity of Rand’s narratives is always compromised, not least through its literary status: Rand is constantly disavowing the narrative frame that is necessary for her philosophy to be ‘revealed’. The chapter argues that a comparable disavowal can be read in the work of her most radical of critics
save-cocks
No full textsave v. . . the hay was shaken out evenly over the mown ground and later raked into "winrows", a continuous pile of hay stretching the length of the field. These rows were then converted into small heaps - "smallcocks" in Mirimichi and Avalon, . . . from three to five feet in diameter at the base. In the Avalon these cocks were merged next day into larger "save-cocks" out in the meadow.W. J. KIRWIN FEB 1973 JH FEB 1973DNE-citUsed I and SupUsed I and SupNot use
