A low cost kitchen water system

"January, 1940""An abdundant supply of good pure water, conveniently furnished, and a safe sanitary method of disposing of household wastes are two of the greatest conveniences that can be installed in any home. No type of equipment will return as much satisfaction for the money expended as a good water and sewage disposal system. The object of this circular is to give information regarding a simple and inexpensive, yet very effective method of bringing water into the kitchen and removing at least a part of the kitchen waste."--First page.K.B.

Loading livestock

"June, 1939""Reprinted April, 1949""Every livestock farm should be equipped with some sort of a loading chute to facilitae safe, convenient handling of livestock. A survey made in 1935 by the National Livestock Loss Prevention Board shows there is an average yearly loss of about $3,000,000 on deads and cripples and$9,000,000 from bruises in livestock delivery from farms to packing plants in the United States. The producer, of course, bears the loss. The survey traced part of this damage directly to careless loading on the farm. Convenient loading equipment will make it possible to greatly reduce this loss. This circular shows several methods of solving this loading problem, furnishes a list of materials required, and gives the details of construction of two typical loading chutes."--First paragraph.K.

NASA aviation safety reporting system

The origins and development of the NASA Aviation Safety Reporting System (ASRS) are briefly reviewed. The results of the first quarter's activity are summarized and discussed. Examples are given of bulletins describing potential air safety hazards, and the disposition of these bulletins. During the first quarter of operation, the ASRS received 1464 reports; 1407 provided data relevant to air safety. All reports are being processed for entry into the ASRS data base. During the reporting period, 130 alert bulletins describing possible problems in the aviation system were generated and disseminated. Responses were received from FAA and others regarding 108 of the alert bulletins. Action was being taken with respect to 70 of the 108 responses received. Further studies are planned of a number of areas, including human factors problems related to automation of the ground and airborne portions of the national aviation system

Mock Juror Perceptions of Police Shootings: The Effects of Victim Race and Shooting Justifiability

Recent police shootings of African Americans have led citizens to question police officers’ use of force. Thus, it is important to determine whether mock jurors can distinguish between justifiable and unjustifiable police shootings—and whether their judgements depend on victim race. Media attention could lead jurors to be more punitive in cases in which an officer shoots an African American (compared to Caucasian) victim. A punitive verdict would reflect society’s opposition to such shootings, as suggested by the bandwagon effect. In a 2 (Shooting: Justified/Unjustified) x 2 (Victim’s race: African American/ Caucasian) experiment, mock jurors read a trial summary involving a fatal police shooting and indicated verdicts. Unjustifiable shootings resulted in less positive perceptions of the officer and perceptions that the shooting was less justified. When the victim was African American, participants had more positive perceptions of the victim, were more certain in a guilty verdict, and perceived the shooting as less justified. The interaction indicated that victim race affected verdicts, but only when the shooting was unjustified. Results suggest there is bias against officers who unjustifiably shoot African Americans, supporting the bandwagon effect. Implications for the role of media effects, psychology, and the legal system are discussed
