21-2 2020 USDA EXPLANATORY NOTES – AGRICULTURAL MARKETING SERVICE AGENCY-WIDE PURPOSE STATEMENT The mission of the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) is to facilitate the strategic marketing of agricultural products in domestic and international markets, while ensuring fair trading practices and promoting a competitive and efficient marketplace to the benefit of producers, traders, and consumers of U.S. food and fiber products. AMS carries out a wide range of programs under the authorization of the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 as well as over 50 other statutes. More than half of the funds needed to finance AMS activities (excluding commodity purchase program funds) are derived from voluntary user fees. AMS also provides services for private industry and State/Federal agencies on a reimbursable basis. In addition, AMS conducts several appropriated program activities through cooperative arrangements with State Departments of Agriculture and other agencies. 1. Market News Service: The Market News program is authorized by the following statutes: Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 Agricultural and Food Act of 1981 (as amended by the Food Security Act of 1985) The Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (2008 Farm Bill) Cotton Statistics and Estimates Act of 1927 The Mandatory Price Reporting Act of 2010 Peanut Statistics Act Naval Stores Act Tobacco Inspection Act of 1935 U.S. Cotton Futures Act The AMS Market News service collects, analyzes, and disseminates current market information to assist producers and marketers of farm products and those in related industries in making critical daily decisions. Market News information covers local, regional, national, and international markets and includes data on supply, movement, contractual agreements, inventories, and prices for numerous agricultural commodities, both conventionally and organically produced. Reported commodities include cotton, cottonseed, and tobacco; dairy products; fruits, vegetables and ornamentals; livestock, meat, grains, poultry and eggs. Market News provides farmers, producers and other agricultural businesses with the information they need to evaluate market conditions, identify trends, make purchasing decisions, monitor price patterns, evaluate transportation equipment

Zawia DEAN OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND 2013 ABSTRACT Growing evidence from many in vitro studies suggest that plants produce secondary metabolites which may have potential physiological properties. The northern highbush blueberry ( Vaccinium corymbosum L.) plant is commercially cultivated for its valuable dark-blue fruit, which has been extensively researched and has been shown to contain phenolic compounds recognized to have positive health benefits. Thus, an evaluation of other parts of the plant, that as of yet have not been investigated, could be worthwhile.

  • Fabrication of Dye Sensitized Solar Cell Based on Natural Photosensitizers
    Available online at www.worldscientificnews.com WSN 149 (2020) 128-139 EISSN 2392-2192 Fabrication of Dye Sensitized Solar Cell Based on Natural Photosensitizers M. Nirmala*, S. Sahana, B. Iswarya, K. Maruvarasi, A. Adline Jenita and B. Kavitha Sri GVG Visalakshi College for Women, Udumalpet, Tamil Nadu, 642126, India *E-mail address: [email protected] ABSTRACT Dye Sensitized solar cells were fabricated using with natural extracts and TiO2 is used as a semiconducting layer. The layer of nanocrytalline titanium dioxide was deposited on conductive side of the transparent Fluorine doped Tin Oxide (FTO) glass plate and the other side of the plate is coated with graphite. Voltage and Current values are measured for natural dyes coated FTO plate and I-V characteristic curves of all fabricated cells were drawn and analyzed. The highest power conversion efficiencies of Blueberry (0.79872%) and Beetroot (0.745813 %.) dyes were achieved among 10 dyes. The functional groups of Beetroot and Turmeric natural dyes were confirmed under FTIR spectroscopy. The ease and cost efficiency of the overall fabrication process, extensive availability of these fruits/juices render them novel and low-cost candidates for Solar cell applications. Keywords: Natural Dyes, nanocrystalline materials, nanocrytalline titanium dioxide, Solar cell, FTIR spectroscopy, Efficiency, Functional 1. INTRODUCTION The dye sensitized solar cell (DSSC) provides a technically and economically credible alternative concept to present day p–n junction photovoltaic devices. The dye molecules are quite small so in order to capture amount of the incoming light the layer of dye molecules needs ( Received 04 September 2020; Accepted 26 September 2020; Date of Publication 27 September 2020 ) World Scientific News 149 (2020) 128-139 to be made fairly thick, much thicker than the molecules themselves.

  • Blueberry Coconut Crumb
    Blueberry-Mango Crumb Pie Here we take a traditional blueberry pie and give it a tropical twist with some chopped mango and - if you like - a little bit of canned pineapple. Then, in keeping with the tropical vibe, we add flaked coconut to the topping. Use your favorite crust or the Buttermilk Pie Dough that follows. -Buttermilk Pie Dough (page 2) -1/2 cup sugar Filling -1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch -3 cups fresh blueberries (1 1/2 pints) -pinch of salt -1 1/2 cups frozen mango chunks, cut in Coconut Crumb Topping small dice OR 1 cup mango plus 1/2 cup -3/4 cup all-purpose flour crushed or diced pineapple -3/4 cup sweetened flaked coconut -1 tablespoon lemon juice -1/2 cup sugar -2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest -1/4 teaspoon salt -3/4 teaspoon coconut extract (optional) -5 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, diced 1. Prepare and refrigerate the pie dough for 30 to 45 minutes, if you haven't already. Roll the dough into an 11 1/2 to 12-inch circle and line a standard - not deep- dish - 9 or 9 1/2 inch pie pan with it, sculpting the overhanging dough into an upstanding ridge. Flute, if desired, then refrigerate the pie shell. 2. Prepare the Coconut Crumb Topping: Combine the flour, coconut, sugar, and salt in a food processor. Process briefly, to mix. Add the butter and pulse repeatedly, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Turn it out into a shallow casserole dish and rub with your fingers to smear the butter into the mixture.

  • Foreign Agricultural Service
    FOREIGN AGRICULTURAL SERVICE PURPOSE STATEMENT The Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) is unique within the U.S. Government for its sole focus on global agricultural trade and food security issues. This recognized expertise is trusted by the broader U.S. agricultural community, from farmers and ranchers to food processors, other U.S. government agencies, and non-governmental organizations to provide sound, reliable and consistent intelligence on foreign agricultural markets, crop conditions and agro-political dynamics. The agency’s on the ground global network of agricultural attachés and locally employed staff provide an unparalleled resource for understanding trade policy and market development issues as they arise. Through this talented and highly skilled staff FAS has built long-term, agriculture-specific relationships with foreign stakeholders that are invaluable to building institutional knowledge of host countries’ agricultural sectors. This knowledge is put to work on maintaining a level playing field for U.S. food and agricultural exports abroad and expanding new opportunities in countries with market potential. FAS links U.S. agriculture to the world to enhance export opportunities and global food security. FAS facilitates international trade and trade cooperation, which are critical to the economic vitality of the U.S. agricultural sector and the Administration’s top economic priority: job creation. Increased economic activity in food and agricultural- related sectors of the economy help rural communities build and maintain prosperity. Nowhere is this more evident than in agricultural trade. In fact, our strategic goal is to generate an additional $89 billion worth of U.S. economic activity by expanding export opportunities for U.S.

  • State Constitutional and Statutory Provisions and Municipal Ordinances Held Unconstitutional Or Held to Be Preempted by Federal Law
    STATE CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY PROVISIONS AND MUNICIPAL ORDINANCES HELD UNCONSTITUTIONAL OR HELD TO BE PREEMPTED BY FEDERAL LAW 2317 STATE CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY PROVI- SIONS AND MUNICIPAL ORDINANCES HELD UN- CONSTITUTIONAL OR HELD TO BE PREEMPTED BY FEDERAL LAW Three separate lists of Supreme Court decisions appear below: part I lists cases holding state constitutional or statutory provisions unconstitu- tional, part II lists cases holding local laws unconstitutional, and part III lists cases holding that state or local laws are preempted by federal law. As Congress acted as the legislature for the District of Columbia until passage of the Home Rule Act on December 24, 1973, District of Columbia statutes that were enacted by Congress are treated as federal statutes (and included in a prior appendix), and District of Columbia statutes en- acted by the District of Columbia government are treated as state stat- utes. Each case is briefly summarized, and the votes of Justices are indi- cated unless the Court’s decision was unanimous. Justices who write or join the majority or plurality opinion are listed under “Justices concur- ring”, whether or not they write separate concurring opinions, and Jus- tices who do not join the majority or plurality opinion, but write separate opinions concurring in the result, are listed under “Justices specially con- curring.” Previous editions contained only two lists, one for cases holding state laws unconstitutional or preempted by federal law, and one for unconsti- tutional or preempted local laws. The 2002 edition added the third cat- egory because of the different nature of preemption cases. State or local laws held to be preempted by federal law are void not because they con- travene any provision of the Constitution, but rather because they conflict with a federal statute or treaty, and through operation of the Supremacy Clause.

Preemption cases formerly listed in one of the first two cat- egories have been moved to the third. A few cases with multiple holdings are listed in more than one category.
