Book Description
Excerpt from Directory of Federal-State Market News Reports The Agricultural Marketing Service of the u.s. Department of Agriculture cooperates with many of the State Departments of Agriculture in gathering and distributing market news reports on supply, demand, prices, and movement of agricultural products. Through a nationwide network of 135 field offices, trading is reported at major terminal markets as well as in important production and shipping areas. For rapid exchange of information, most of the market news offices are connected by a network of approximately miles of leased teletypewriter lines. Market reports are issued on all major farm commodities, including cotton, cottonseed, cotton linters, dairy and poultry products, fruits and vegetables, peanuts, pecans, honey, grain and related products, feed molasses, livestock, meats, wool, tobacco, and naval stores. Reports are prepared in the field offices under the direction of the ams commodity divisions in Washington. Most field offices cover only the products assigned to the Division of which they are a part. They report largely on the commodities in their own markets, although they may include a brief summary describing trading conditions, prices, and trends at a few other markets that are significant to those patronizing the local market. More than radio stations and 160 television stations broadcast market news regularly. Market news also reaches the public by newspapers, farm and trade papers, telephone, telegraph, and by direct mail. The pages that follow list the federal-state market news reports and the issuing offices for them. The reports are sent free on request, when they are available by mail. If you wish to see sample copies of any of the reports, or if you wish to be added to the mailing list to receive copies regularly, address your request to the office issuing the report. Or you may address your request to the appropriate commodity division (from the list below) of the Agricultural Marketing Service, u.s. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D.C. 20250.

Technology and Social Inclusion
Author: Mark WarschauerPublisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262303698
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 221
Book Description
Much of the discussion about new technologies and social equality has focused on the oversimplified notion of a "digital divide." Technology and Social Inclusion moves beyond the limited view of haves and have-nots to analyze the different forms of access to information and communication technologies. Drawing on theory from political science, economics, sociology, psychology, communications, education, and linguistics, the book examines the ways in which differing access to technology contributes to social and economic stratification or inclusion. The book takes a global perspective, presenting case studies from developed and developing countries, including Brazil, China, Egypt, India, and the United States. A central premise is that, in today's society, the ability to access, adapt, and create knowledge using information and communication technologies is critical to social inclusion. This focus on social inclusion shifts the discussion of the "digital divide" from gaps to be overcome by providing equipment to social development challenges to be addressed through the effective integration of technology into communities, institutions, and societies. What is most important is not so much the physical availability of computers and the Internet but rather people's ability to make use of those technologies to engage in meaningful social practices.
