An improved, dual-seal, ball-type dispensing package combination for cosmetics and the like. A dispensing ball is held in place in a fitment which is adapted to be attached to the finish portion of a container for the product to be dispensed. The ball is allowed to move freely within the fitment to facilitate uniform dispensing and application of the contents of the container. The total package is completed by a closure which engages threads on the exterior of the finish portion of the container. The closure, fitment, and ball cooperate to create a seal between the fitment and ball at two separate locations to prevent leakage of product when the closure is placed into full engagement with the container.
1. In a ball-applicator dispensing package comprised of a container having a neck portion including an annular rim defining an end opening for dispensing the contents and external screw thread, and an annular groove above said thread and adjacent said rim, an annular ball-retaining fitment having an annular shoulder with a container-engaging skirt provided with inwardly directed bead engaged in said neck groove, and an axially extending, annular ball-retaining fitment having an annular shoulder with a container-engaging skirt provided with inwardly directed bead engaged in said neck groove, and an axially extending, annular ball-retaining socket member above said neck rim, a dispensing ball rotatably held by said socket of the fitment, a minor surface portion of the ball extending outwardly above said socket to define a dispensing surface, the improvement therein comprising
a resilient annular flange portion on said socket member at the axial outer end thereof engageable with said ball above the maximum diameter thereof, and an annular surface portion on the shoulder thereof engageable with said ball below the maximum lateral diameter thereof,
said flange portion and said annular surface on the shoulder of the fitment being operable, respectively, for substantially simultaneously, sealingly engaging the ball against leakage,
a radially outwardly extending flange on said annular shoulder skirt of the fitment disposed opposite the inwardly directed retaining bead thereon, said skirt flange having an external diametrical dimension slightly greater than that of the ball-retaining socket member of the fitment,
said fitment including a generally circular diaphragm connected with said annular shoulder and adapted to fit in the end opening of the container, said diaphragm having at least one aperture for dispensing content of the container, and
a screw closure member closed at a dome-shaped end having an interiorly threaded skirt engageable with the thread on said neck of the container and including a radially inwardly extending annular bead on said skirt above the threads thereof, the internal diameter of said bead being slightly less than the diameter of the radial flange on said fitment skirt, whereby the fitment is adapted for preassembly with the screw closure prior to assembly on the container, and an inwardly-directed annular bead on the interior of said closure member for exteriorly engaging said flange portion of the fitment during screw application thereof on said container, the engagement of said annular bead of the closure with the annular resilient flange of the fitment wedging said flange against said ball to form a first seal therebetween in the dispensing package, and simultaneously downwardly loading the socket member and ball to form a second seal between the annular shoulder of the fitment and the ball.
2. The improved ball-applicator dispensing package of claim 1 wherein said resilient annular sealing flange on the ball-retaining socket of the fitment includes an annular recess adapted to receive and be engaged by said annular bead, the latter being disposed at said closed end of said closure member.
3. The improved ball-applicator dispensing package of claim 1 wherein said annular bead is disposed at said closed end of the closure member and includes an annular recess thereon adapted to receive and engage with the annular sealing flange of the ball-retaining socket of the fitment.
This invention generally relates to ball-type applicators. More specifically, this invention relates to a complete ball-type applicator package, including a closure, a fitment, a ball and a container for the product to be dispensed. Particularly, this invention relates to an improved package wherein the dispensing fitment and the closure include mating portions which maintain the fitment and ball in sealing relationship with each other in two separate locations.
The ball-type applicator is well known in the art for dispensing of cosmetics of various types, particularly liquid deodorants and perfumes. Examples of pertinent prior art patents include U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,975,466 and 4,002,411. Each of these patents teaches the general combination of a closure, fitment and ball as applied to the finish portion of a container neck. However, in each of these patents, only a single seal is provided between the fitment and the dispensing ball upon application of the closure to the container. Thus, there is always the possibility of leakage of product from the container during shipping and storage of the assembled package. For example, if the fitment should become distorted or overstressed, such a single seal could fail and result in leakage.
It is, therefore, an object of this invention to overcome the disadvantages associated with the prior art ball-type dispensing packages by providing an improved, dual-seal package of this type.
The improved package of this invention incorporates dual seals between the ball-retaining fitment and the dispensing ball when the closure is placed in the fully engaged position with the container. In the design of this invention, a dispensing ball is held in place in a fitment which is adapted to be attached to the finish portion of a container for the product to be dispensed. The fitment is formed of a resilient material and includes a generally circular bottom diaphragm fitting within the opening of the container neck and which has at least one aperture for dispensing the contents of the container. The fitment includes an annular shoulder extending outwardly from the bottom diaphragm, an annular ball-retaining socket which extends upwardly from the shoulder in an arcuate configuration terminating in an annular sealing flange, and an annular container-engaging skirt which extends downwardly from the shoulder and is adapted to hold the fitment in engagement with the container. A dispensing ball is positioned within the annular ball-retaining socket of the fitment so as to be in communication with the dispensing apertures. A closure member is provided and includes an internal threaded portion adapted for engagement with a threaded portion on the neck of the container. The closure also includes inwardly directed means on its interior surface which engages the annular sealing flange on the ball-retaining socket to both wedge the flange into sealing engagement with the dispensing ball and to bias the dispensing ball into sealing engagement with the annular shoulder on the fitment to thereby create a double seal between the dispensing ball and the fitment.
Other objects, features and advantages of the subject invention will become apparent upon reference to the following detailed description of the invention and the drawings illustrating the preferred embodiments thereof.
FIG. 1 is a cross sectional, side elevational view of the unique ball-type dispensing package of this invention;
FIG. 2 is a side elevational view, with parts broken away in section, of the unique closure member used in the package of this invention;
FIG. 3 is a bottom view of the closure of FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 is an enlarged, partial sectional view showing the relationship between components of this package which creates the double seal between the fitment and the dispensing ball; and
FIG. 5 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional view of an alternate configuration of a fitment and closure incorporating the features of this invention.
Referring now to the drawings, FIG. 1 illustrates the unique, dual-seal, ball-type dispensing package of this invention which is indicated generally by the numeral 10. The package 10 includes a container 12 for the product to be dispensed, a ball-retaining fitment 14, which is snapped into engagement with the container 12, a dispensing ball 16, which is rotatably retained within the fitment 14, and a closure member 18 which encloses the fitment 14 and ball 16 and threads into engagement with the container 12.
The container 12 includes a neck portion 20 which terminates at its upper extremity in an annular rim 22 which defines the periphery of an open mouth 24 through which the product held within the container 12 may be dispensed. The container neck 20 includes a plurality of threads 26 on the outer surface thereof and a circumferential recess or groove 28 positioned adjacent to the annular rim 22. The remaining portion of the container 12 (not shown) may be of any suitable, aesthetically appealing, closed configuration for containing a cosmetic or the like.
The annular ball-retaining fitment 14 may be formed of a resilient material and includes a generally circular bottom diaphragm 30 which is sized to fit within the open mouth 24 of the container neck 20. The diaphragm 30 includes a plurality of apertures 32 formed therein for dispensing the product from within the container 12. An annular shoulder 34 extends outwardly from the diaphragm 30 and, upon application of closure 18, is adapted to form an annular seal with the dispensing ball 16 in the contact area indicated by the numeral 36. An annular container-engaging skirt 38 depends downwardly from the annular shoulder 34 and incorporates an inwardly directed bead 40 and an outwardly directed flange 42. The inwardly directed bead 40 is adapted for engagement with the circumferential groove 28 in the container neck 20 to securely fasten the fitment 14 to the container 12 and to prevent passage of product therebetween. An annular ball-retaining socket 44 extends upwardly from the annular shoulder 34 in an arcuate configuration and terminates at its outer extremity in an annular sealing flange 46. The fitment 14 is sized and shaped so that the ball 16 is held within the ball-retaining socket 44 and rests upon the diaphragm 30. In the absence of the closure member 18, the ball 16 must be permitted to rotate freely within the fitment 14 and must have a minor portion thereof extending beyond the upper extremity (flange 46) of the fitment for purposes of applying the product being dispensed.
The closure member 18 includes a generally dome-shaped top panel 48 and an annular skirt portion 50 which extends downwardly from the outer periphery of the top panel 48. The interior surface of the skirt 50 incorporates a plurality of threads 52 which are adapted to matingly engage with the threads 26 on the container neck 20 to achieve threaded engagement between the closure 18 and the container 12. The interior surface of the skirt 50 also incorporates an inwardly extending fitment-retaining bead 54 which is adapted to engage the outwardly directed flange 42 on the fitment 14 for the purpose of securing the fitment 14 and ball 16 within the closure 18 in a preassembled condition for shipping and storage prior to their assembly with the container 12. The top panel 48 of the closure 18 incorporates an inwardly directed annular bead 56 which is adapted to engage the sealing flange 46 on the fitment 14 to create a second seal between the fitment 14 and the ball 16 in the area indicated by the numeral 58. The internal surface of the top panel 48 may also incorporate an annular ball-contacting ring 60 which is adapted to contact the upper surface of the ball 16 over a limited circumferential area upon application of the closure 18 to the container 12. This annular ball-contacting ring 60 prevents a large surface-to-surface contact between the interior surface of the closure 18 and the ball 16 and the possible sticking problem that could result from product which remains on the ball 16.
A clearer understanding of the creation of a dual seal in the subject package can best be understood by reference to FIG. 4 which is an enlarged view of the configuration of FIG. 1. In FIG. 4, it can be seen that the annular bead 56 incorporates an annular recess 62 therein which is adapted to receive and be engaged by the upper tip 64 on the sealing flange 46. The relationship then between the annular bead 56 and the sealing flange 46 creates a wedging action as the closure 18 is threaded into engagement with the neck portion 20 of the container 12. This wedging action forces the annular sealing flange 46 into sealing engagement in the area identified as 58 to thereby create a seal between the fitment 14 and the ball 16. Simultaneously with the formation of the seal in the area indicated at 58, the ball 16 is biased into sealing engagement with the annular shoulder 34 on the fitment 14 creating an additional seal between the fitment 14 and the ball 16 in the area identified by the numeral 36. Thus, as can be seen in FIG. 4, as the closure 18 is applied into threaded engagement with the container 12, two separate annular seals are formed between the fitment 14 and the ball 16 in the area identified as 36 and 58 to thereby prevent leakage of the product from the container 12 during shipping and storage of the package. Thus, a relatively simple and lightweight package is provided for the dispensing of cosmetics or the like which incorporates a highly effective dual seal between the fitment and ball portions to eliminate the possibility of leakage which has been a problem in the prior devices of this type which rely upon a single seal.
FIG. 5 discloses an alternate configuration for the relationship between the sealing bead 56 on the closure 18 and the sealing flange 46 on the fitment 14. In this embodiment, the sealing bead 56 incorporates a protruded nose portion 66, and the sealing flange 46 incorporates a cooperating annular groove or recess 68 adjacent its tip 64. In this embodiment, as the closure 18 is tightened into threaded engagement with the container 12, the enlarged nose portion 66 is received within the recess 68 to thereby engage the sealing flange 46 and wedge it into sealing engagement with the ball 16 in the area identified as 58. The remaining functional details of this FIG. 5 embodiment are identical to those described in connection with the embodiment of the other figures.

Titan 4B launch vehicle
Posted: April 1, 2003
The Titan 4B consists of two solid-propellant stage "0" motors, a liquid propellant two-stage core and a 16.7-foot-diameter payload fairing. Upgraded three-segment solid rocket motors increase the vehicle's payload capability by approximately 25 percent over the Titan 4A.
During a Titan 4 launch the strap-on solid rocket motors are fired first. When the solid propellant is almost depleted (approximately 130 seconds into flight), the first stage is fired and the solid motors are separated from the vehicle. The second stage and upper stage are fired as the previous stage is depleted of fuel and separated.
Martin Company and the Martin Marietta Corporation built more than 140 Titan ICBMs - the vanguard of America's nuclear deterrent force for 23 years. NASA selected the Titan 2 as a space launch vehicle for the Gemini manned space program in 1961. Deactivation of the Titan 2 ICBM system began in July 1982, and the last missile was taken from its silo at Little Rock Air Force Base, Arkansas, on June 23, 1987. The Titan 2 space launch vehicle that flew 12 Project Gemini missions evolved into the Titan 3 and Titan 3C in the mid 1960s. Titan 3s sent 82 military and civilian satellites into orbit between 1965 and 1982. Titan 3E rockets with Centaur upper stages carried Viking and Voyager missions into space. The larger Titan expendable space launch vehicle was originally developed as a backup for the space shuttle in the 1980s, but has become a mainstay for heavy payloads. The Titan 4B represents significant improvements from the Titan 34D and Titan 4A from which it evolved. The first Titan 4B flew February 23, 1997.
The Vehicle
Operational Improvements
Assembly and integration of the Solid Rocket Motor Upgrade occurs in the new Solid Motor Assembly and Readiness Facility at Cape Canaveral Air Station and the Solid Motor Processing Facility at Vandenberg Air Force Base, California. These facilities reduce workload from two shifts per day to a single shift and decrease Titan 4B booster overall processing time by 43 days at Cape Canaveral AS and 134 days at Vandenberg AFB.

Moonflower seeds/clippings
Hello everyone! This is my first post here, so I apologize if I'm out of line. :)
I've searched the forums for Moonflowers (Ipomoea alba), and most of the posts are years-old. I would really love to grow some of these beauties on the fence around my raised garden, but they're illegal in AZ!? Would any nurseries carry them anyway in Tucson?
We all know that illegal items get passed around regardless, so I was also wondering if anyone would be willing to sell me some seeds or clippings of Moonflowers, or share any information you have on where to get them. :)
Thanks in advance for anything helpful!
Noxious weeds may not be introduced. (Ariz. Rev. Stat. Ann. 3-210) Penalties for violations range from misdemeanor citations to fines not exceeding $5,000. ( Ariz. Rev. Stat. Ann. 3-215)
I don't think a nursery will risk a $5,000 fine for you.
Why do you want that particular species?
This vine not only spreads by seeds, but also it's roots...it can get really nasty in hot weather.
It's hard to get rid of and if you should happen to die or move your neighbors with any planting areas will probably not enjoy it's lasting legacy.
The seeds escaping via animal/bird to agriculture lands are a nightmare. With proper moisture this plant spreads and grows like crazy.
Also, all Ipomea L. are banned in ARZ for being noxious weeds.
It may seem funny because there are Arizona-native Ipomea "morning glory" types that fall under this sale ban, but it's one of those things where the damage it does to agriculture or native habits is worse if humans exaggerate it.
Well none of these responses are as helpful as I would have liked. I know that they are a "noxious weed" but I've seen posts on this forum and others sharing seeds anyway, so I thought I'd try.
I want this "particular species" because it is a beautiful plant and after looking at many different options, it's one that I would like to cover my garden fence.
Outlawing plants, urgh humans. >.Thanks anyway, you guys.
They sell Moonflower seeds in other states. My Aunt lives in Minnesota and she gets seeds and grows them. I lived in Michigan. I have grown Moonflowers but I was very careful to not let any seeds go anywhere including reseeding the plant. So I enjoyed the Moonflower for one season. I never saw any neighbors with Moonflowers. But I am a very careful grower.
Moonflowers are some of the least invasive species out there in the family when it comes to weediness, but it's one of those plants the entire state is better off not having to deal with.
The stuff goes crazy when an animal drops it's seeds or it spreads anywhere near a fertile patch of soil (such as a piece of farmland) or any area where nutrients and excess soil moisture can feed it. It does amazingly well enough with the bad soils and limited water most people feed it. It's one reason it's a popular dry-climate climber.
Heck, it's even mentioned in Kim Nelson's "A Desert Gardener's Companion" which is very Arizona-heavy in information.
Hey Bizar, and e1 else reading!
Hope the gardens are doing well, it's finally starting to warm up a bit!
OK, I'm just throwing my bit in here everyone because I LOVE this plant and have grown it in the past, so please, please... don't start...and don't email me with harassing notes and quips...Lol =p
AnYwAy: To (further) answer the question; Yes, the garden centers in Phoenix do sell Moonflower seeds. Try Lowes or Home Depot, I know I saw some at a number of the Lowes stores, and Home Depot would most likely have it just the same. Otherwise, check it out online since there are quite a few sites that sell the seeds. (But you'll pay a bit more this way than if you find it at the stores here, of course if it's $12 in gas to get somewhere that carries it here, might be worth ordering it online. Lol. I think the packets cost $1.95 a piece or somewhere near it @ Lowes...).
I would recommend putting it into a hanging planter, or contained pot, and be responsible when it's in it's flowering/seed producing season (not sure when it is here in the Valley). The plant is amazing when in full bloom, I have grown it (not here so again, don't start !) and it took 2 months in a tropical environment to get 4' long in a hanging pot. You should have no trouble containing it in Phoenix. Since most Ipo. are NOT tolerant to high heat and drought (argue if you may, but 120 without water will kill just about anything...except native plants, or plants from similar environments abroad...) it's highly unlikely that it will eat your neighbors house anytime soon! Haha.
I completely understand regarding the 'outlawing plants' feeling. Most of the time, what we/they do to try and avoid hurting the environment hurts it more than to start with! Refusing to see or accept a fact, on whatever personal level, does not change that fact =D
Hawaii F&G thought it would be a good idea to import Mongoose to kill back the Rat population long ago...What the then-officials didn't think about was that rats are nocturnal while Mongoose are diurnal, so mongoose get in the trash during the day, rats at night. The Mongoose also eat bird eggs, so it hurt the native bird species greatly on a number of the Islands.
They also introduced the Wolf Snail, to try and control the African Snails there...The snails took on baby African snails, but weren't large enough to take on the adults. The Africans reproduce in higher numbers, and the wolfs started to prey on the native species instead, causing a number of them to become nearly extinct and/or critically endangered. Some of these arboreal snail species live in only a SINGLE tree, on a SINGLE mountain, on a SINGLE island. Talk about "oops!"
Eco-We-Want-to-Help-Blunder Example number 3...Australian officials imported 110 live Bufo marinus toad specimens, bred for the purpose, from the Hawaiian Islands in an attempt to manage a beetle species which lives on and eats Cane Sugar there. Toads are terrestrial, and the species does not climb; the beetles live on the tops of the leaves, halfway up + the Canes, the two never see one another.
Talk about not seeing the forest for the trees....Haha.
OH WELL! Hope you found the seeds you were after, good luck with them, and sorry if it makes anyone angry or gets you in trouble! Heh heh. Take care and all the best!
"Most of the time, what we/they do to try and avoid hurting the environment hurts it more than to start with"
This one is pretty open/shut.
It's banned because they wreak havok with agriculture. It's open/shut with no grey area. Just because people want an excuse to do what they want to doesn't make it any less of an agricultural threat.
That said, moonflowers are one of the lesser invasives in the family.
No amount of snarkiness or dismissive attitude will make it any better of an idea to spread the plant around, though.
There's no need to feel like anyone is being attacked or yelled at. If someone tells you not to dump sewage into your neighbor's yard, but you really don't want to deal with it and would rather someone else deal with it...well, that don't make it justified to dump your sewage on your neighbors. Some people want to feel justified about bad ideas, though. If someone disagrees it doesn't make it an attack. It just means there's people rolling eyes at inconsiderate neighbors if they know better than to introduce it.
Hi bizare! Most members of the ipomoea family that are grown as ornamentals are from the tropics and are not capable of forming feral populations on unirrigated desert land. Don't let the fear mongering Miss Grundys worry you with their paranoia about ecological disaster! Just dont toss any of your excess seeds into ArizonaÂs irrigated rice paddies, cotton, or alfalfa fields, or along stream or river beds, and dangerous morning glory vines will not strangle and eat the local flora and fauna or reach into windows at night to terrorize small children.
Because I choose to be completely selfish and unconcerned about other people, IÂm currently trying to sprout some very old moonflower seeds I have from last century. So far, no luck. I grew several types of morning glorys last year, and so far I have had no volunteer sprouts. It required constant vigilance to keep them watered well enough to survive in the desert, and as far as I know none of my neighbors or their pets disappeared. IÂm very irresponsible and have shared seeds from the morning glorys I grew last year with a few friends and neighbors. Perhaps we will succeed in destroying an endangered species! If I knew you personally, I would be antisocial enough to share some of my old moonflower seeds with you, but as others have suggested, they arenÂt too difficult for the average gardening sociopath in Arizona to obtain if they want them.

It has been an utterly fantastic nine days down here in Arizona, but alas, it is time for me to head back to the Great Midwest. But before I let that big ol' jet airliner take me far away, let's take a look back at what we learned during this little odyssey through the Cactus…

Yesterday we heard that if Oliver Perez had another bad outing that he could have been run out of town on a rail. So lucky for him he didn't have another bad outing. In fact, he had a darn good one: two scoreless innings, no walks and more strikes than balls. It probably bought him another…

Players can use them up to a certain point in the day, as long as they get their work done. "You're talking to somebody…
Dodgers sign Randy Keisler to minor league contract
Mar 3, 2011, 10:46 PM EDT
Hey, Randy Keisler is back on the baseball scene. Kind of. According to his representation's official Twitter feed, the 35-year-old left-hander agreed to a minor league contract Thursday with the Dodgers. Keisler hasn't pitched in a major league game since back in 2007, when he registered a 5.19 ERA and allowed 21 hits over 17.1…
Manny Parra out a few days with lower back tightness
Mar 3, 2011, 9:31 PM EDT
According to Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Brewers left-hander Manny Parra was lifted from his Thursday Cactus League appearance against the A's after just one batter due to tightness in his lower back. Parra revealed after the game that he has been dealing with back issues for much of spring training. The Brewers…
Tulowitzki suffers bruised heel in spring game, day-to-day
Mar 3, 2011, 8:05 PM EDT
The Rockies got a little scare from shortstop Troy Tulowitzki on Thursday in camp. The 26-year-old was lifted prematurely from the Rockies' Grapefruit League game against the Giants after nailing his right heel with the tip of his bat on a hard third-strike swing. A trainer met him just outside the batter's box and he…
Cervelli's test results sent to New York for further review
Mar 3, 2011, 6:58 PM EDT
The Yankees still aren't sure how serious Francisco Cervelli's left foot injury might be. The 24-year-old catcher exited Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Astros after fouling a ball off his foot. Trainers took him immediately for an MRI and CT scan, but the results on both tests were inconclusive. Now those MRI and CT…

So I slid down close to the White Sox dugout when I saw Ozzie Guillen sitting there like that. Figured I'd take his picture. I took this one and a couple other ones of him hanging out there. Then a guy a couple seats down said "want me to get his attention for you?" I…

Lance Berkman sidelined by second injury of the spring
Mar 3, 2011, 4:36 PM EDT
When the Cardinals signed Lance Berkman to an $8 million deal this offseason guys like me wondered about the wisdom of asking a 35-year-old who's not in particularly outstanding shape and hasn't played the outfield since 2007 to be an everyday right fielder. Sub par defense is all but assured, as Berkman was hardly a…

Koji Uehara won't throw for at least a few days after getting a cortisone injection today in his right elbow.

Carlos Ruiz's wife gave birth yesterday and, as Bryan Graham of SI.com amusingly points out, the couple's second child arrived "nine months to the day of Roy Halladay's perfect game." Even better, the baby boy's name is Carlos. But not Carlos Jr., because Ruiz's first son already got that name when he was born eight…

Mar 3, 2011, 2:49 PM EDT
Ronald Belisario thinks he'll be joining the Dodgers as soon as he finds his passport and his agent thinks he'll sit out the entire season due to visa issues, but whatever the case he's a no-show at spring training and has now been placed on the restricted list. That doesn't necessarily change Belisario's status with…

Prior to today's Red Sox-Phillies spring training game Philadelphia general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. told reporters that he believes Boston is "the best team in baseball."

Ridaught Daylily Farm
galiumApril 30, 2007
I ordered quite a few daylilies from Ridaught this year. They were extremely helpful when I made changes to my order. I was impressed that they took into account the less than ideal planting conditions. They sent my order later in the month.
The daylilies were in excellent condition, well packed and I received a bonus plant. I would highly recommend them and plan on placing an order next year with them.

Transformative changes are needed in our food, agriculture and trade systems in order to increase diversity on farms, reduce our use of fertilizer and other inputs, support small-scale farmers and create strong local food systems. That's the conclusion of a remarkable new publication from the U.N. Commission on Trade and Development (UNCTAD).
The report, Trade and Environment Review 2013: Wake Up Before it is Too Late, included contributions from more than 60 experts around the world (including a commentary from IATP). The report includes in-depth sections on the shift toward more sustainable, resilient agriculture; livestock production and climate change; the importance of research and extension; the role of land use; and the role of reforming global trade rules.
The report links global security and escalating conflicts with the urgent need to transform agriculture toward what it calls "ecological intensification." The report concludes, "This implies a rapid and significant shift from conventional, monoculture-based and high-external-input-dependent industrial production toward mosaics of sustainable, regenerative production systems that also considerably improve the productivity of small-scale farmers."
The UNCTAD report identified key indicators for the transformation needed in agriculture:

As two of the largest free trade agreements (TTIP and TPP) in history are being negotiated, free trade agreements like these will become more entrenched in our lives than ever before. Unfortunately, the tangle of rules and regulations—mostly design to keep intact and strengthen corporate interests—can create serious roadblocks for real, earnest work to improve sustainability on the national, state and even local levels. Yes, as local governments work to build policy that includes sustainability standards, they may be on the wrong side of international trade law.
A new IATP report, Sustainability Criteria, Biofuel Policy and Trade Rules makes very clear that if we hope to change policy in any arena—pushing for lower GHG emissions, reducing pollution, producing cleaner energy, or enabling local sourcing—understanding international trade law is an absolutely required first step.
Report author and trade lawyer Eric Gillman uses the state of biofuels policy as a backdrop—including real examples of current biofuel sustainability efforts—to set the stage for examining the larger implications of WTO trade law on all sorts of policy development:
If we are to construct the type of policies needed to address the multiple environmental, social and economic crises that we face, understanding how these policies interact with international trade rules is absolutely required. This paper is a first attempt—within the context of biofuel policy—to raise some of these questions and address necessary changes.

The Minnesota Green Chemistry Forum hosted a happy hour event on May 15, entitled The Business Case for Chemical Policy Reform. The group of fifty, over half from the business community, heard presentations about how sound chemical policies can benefit businesses and why business voices are needed in chemical policy debates.
We heard from David Levine, co-founder & CEO of the American Sustainable Business Council (ASBC), a growing coalition of over 165,000 businesses and social enterprises and more than 300,000 entrepreneurs, owners, executive, investors and business professionals. David cited the results of an ASBC polling showing that 87 percent of small businesses think there should be government regulations to ensure that chemicals used in growing food are safe and 73 percent support government regulation to assure that consumer products are free of toxins. Nine out of 10 small businesses surveyed believe that chemical manufacturers should be held responsible for ensuring that chemicals they use are safe and 94 percent support disclosure of chemicals of concern in products.

In our final "Climate change, agriculture and resilience" video—the series we've been publishing all week in the lead up to the MOSES Organic Farming conference—it's all about being different.
Farmer Tom Nuessmeier, from La Sueur, Minnesota, is different. His 200-acre organic farm—producing farrow-to-finish hogs, corn, soy, oats, winter grains and alfalfa—is pretty uncommon in its diversity and size, especially today. As the average size of farms has grown, the number of farms has decreased overall, and so has the variety of crops. According to USDA data highlighted in the video, while corn acres have increased 62 percent, hay and oat acres have decreased 15 and 92 (!) percent respectively in the past 50 years.
This loss of diversity, though, makes sense as markets and policy have developed to encourage monocropping (namely, corn and soy). As Tom puts it:
The market tells people, and the insurance setups dictate to a degree, that that's what you're going to do if you want to go after the greatest profit. But I think it's kind of a short-term way of looking at things that does have long-term implications if you're talking about just maintaining the farm's ability to be resilient.
Watch the video, or take a look at the first four of our "Climate change, agriculture and resilience" videos:

Farming is risky for anyone: volatile markets and unpredictable weather can make planning and execution from season to season a difficult prospect. Make that double with the extreme weather climate change is bringing. Sure, there is crop insurance in some cases, but what about farmers like Mike Brownfield?
One bad hailstorm and Mike Brownfield's orchard—the first certified organic orchard in Washington—could lose an entire crop. Being organic means being viewed by the USDA as more risky than conventionally grown fruit (despite studies showing the opposite); being viewed as more risky means paying higher premiums for insurance, but still receiving only conventional-price reimbursement should disaster strike (despite organics being worth more at market).
The fourth in IATP's "Climate change, agriculture and resilience" video series focuses on the risk involved for farmers who grow our food, how they deal with it, and how that risk is increasing as weather extremes due to climate change shake our system's very foundations. Without conventional crop insurance to protect his orchard, Mike Brownfield has instituted other methods of risk-management:
For us, having a diversity of crops has made a difference. A certain variety of apple is not always going to have a great year for you, and so that's why we diversified so much in our crops—and in our marketing.

How can we balance the environmental impacts of farming with our need to continue producing food?
Today, in part three in our "Climate change, agriculture and resilience" video series, father and daughter team Maurice and Beth Robinette of Lazy R Ranch talk about their approach to farming grass-fed beef and why carbon sequestration and protecting their ecosystem is so important. As Beth Robinette puts it:
So much of what we do here is about 'How do we create maximum functioning ecosystems in our pasture?' and to me that's what resilience is. If you have an ecosystem that's at peak function, it can take a lot more damage or uncertainty than an ecosystem that is not at peak function. That's about the sum of what we're trying to do here: Grow grass that'll keep growing.
But making changes like the Robinette's isn't easy, or cheap. As direct marketers of their beef, the Robinettes command a premium price, and can put those dollars toward protecting their farm's ecosystem. For farmers that are just getting by due to market prices or input costs, this kind of adaptation would be impossible.
More long-term thinking in policymaking, and programs that encourage practices like those Lazy R Ranch has piloted would go a long way in building a food system that can withstand the shocks of climate change while contributing less to the factors that are known to cause it.

"I think we came in April and it was within a month or two when all the ground was still bare and black and we had one of those two- or three-day blows and I had drifts of soil on my window sills and I'm thinking 'Hmmm this isn't good.' That was probably what sparked us to start making some of the changes we did."
That's Loretta Jaus speaking about the extreme soil erosion she and her husband faced on their farm due, in part, to modern tiling practices that replaced the region's prairies and wetlands with more dry, tillable soil.
Part two of our "Climate change, agriculture and resilience" series features the Minnesota organic dairy farm of Martin and Loretta Jaus who farm the same 410 acres that Martin's great grandfather homesteaded in 1877. In order to combat the eroding soil, and remain more resilient in the increasing incidences of drought and flood, Martin and Loretta have worked to increase their farm's biodiversity. From the video:
They improved and expanded a pasture made up of deep-rooted perennials that could better access soil moisture during dry spells and serve as a sponge when it rains. They put in shelter belts of trees and they restored a marsh and a pond. Not only did these measures decrease erosion but the Jaus's found that their farm became more resilient as well, both in times to drought and wet weather.

Update: All five videos are now available at the following links:
Earlier this month, the USDA released its draft climate adaptation plan. The plan recognizes the serious challenges faced by farmers as climate-related weather events, like extreme droughts or floods, wreak havoc on agriculture. The agency is accepting comments through April. The good news is that many farmers are already ahead of the curve in building resilient farming systems to face climate change.
This week, in the lead up to the MOSES Organic Farming conference, IATP will be releasing a series of new videos that look at individual farmers and how sustainable practices on the farm help them stay resilient to a changing climate and increasingly common hurdles like the 2012 drought.

Rural resistance has helped slow the development of renewable energy. It doesn't have to be that way. For the President's green-energy plans to succeed, he needs to reach out to the rural leaders who are ready to act on climate change.
President Barack Obama made urgent calls for new steps to address climate change in his State of the Union address yesterday, "for the sake of our children and our future." While the focus was on renewable energy, he missed an opportunity to talk about the essential ingredient for addressing climate change: the support of rural communities.
Due to the structure of our legislative system, representatives from rural America—and their constituents—have played a disproportionate role in derailing federal climate action over the last several years. Rural resistance is due, in large part, to the complete neglect of this constituency by U.S. climate policymakers and activists, which allowed climate issues in rural America to be defined primarily by the fossil fuel industry and its surrogates.
Without positive, pro-rural voices, or proposals on the table that emphasize the opportunities, climate change deniers have been able to—correctly—focus on the additional burdens that new regulation or taxation would bring to parts of the country that already have lower incomes and higher energy costs than cities.
Encouragingly, some rural perceptions about climate change are changing. Rural people are already experiencing and responding to the climate crisis in myriad ways. One of the most severe droughts in U.S. history is still unfolding, forcing farmers and ranchers across the country to rethink crop and livestock production systems.

"Any defenders of the status quo are not on my team."
That was Dr. Paul Anastas, a bit into his keynote speech at Beakers to Business Plans: The 2013 iteration of the Minnesota Green Chemistry Forum's annual conference, cohosted by IATP on January 25.
As he spoke, pictures flashed on the screen behind him: first, 60,000 plastic bags—the amount used in the U.S. every five seconds. Then, a shot of what 106,000 cans looks like (or the product of 30 seconds of can consumption in America). The photos were part of Photographer Chris Jordan's Intolerable Beauty: Portraits of American Mass Consumption collection and dramatically illustrated our country's urgent need for innovation—even as waste is only one small part of the picture.
Here, Anastas highlighted two properties that remain front and center in product lifecycle design: Persistence and toxicity. Think pesticides. Potentially toxic, and persistent enough to build up in our land and water, damage the environment and impact public health on a large scale. Green chemistry means designing products, from concept to production to the end of their use, to potential reuse, that are nontoxic, and will degrade safely when their time has come to shuffle off this mortal coil. Quite a brilliant idea, and not all that radical, especially as businesses in Minnesota and around the country begin to see that any successful business model will require such consideration as resources deplete and consumption continues to rise.

THE MORBIDITY RISK for panic disorder (PD) is known to be significantly higher in first-degree relatives of probands with PD.1 The symptomatological characteristics, however, of the PD patients with first-degree family history (FH) of PD remain unclear. In order to clarify the specific symptoms in PD patients with putative genetic factor, we examined the association between the FH in PD and the first panic attack (PA) symptoms.
Three hundred and fifty-six unrelated patients with PD with or without agoraphobia diagnosed according to the criteria in the DSM-IV-TR participated in this study after having provided written informed consent. This study was approved by the institutional ethical committees of the Mie University School of Medicine and the Warakukai Nagoya Mental Clinic. Interviews were conducted with the PD patients to investigate a first-degree FH of PD. In the present study the PD proband with the first-degree FH of PD was defined as PD patient with a first-degree relative who has a history of treatment at a psychiatric hospital or clinic, and who has been diagnosed with and treated for PD. First PA symptoms were confirmed by means of a questionnaire at the patient's first visit.
The number of PD patients with a first-degree FH of PD was 20 (5.62%). PD patients have experienced 5.83 ± 2.51 symptoms on average at first PA (range: 1–13). PD patients with a first-degree FH of PD were significantly younger at onset (age: 24.30 ± 12.35 years vs 29.81 ± 9.75 years), had experienced more symptoms (mean total no. first PA symptoms: 6.95 ± 2.51 vs 5.75 ± 2.19), and more frequently had experienced paresthesia (60.0% vs 25.3%) and chills or hot flashes (55.0% vs 29.5%) at first PA compared to those without a first-degree FH of PD, while there were no differences in mean age, sex ratio, and frequency of comorbidity in agoraphobia or mood disorder.
These results suggest that PD patients with putative genetic factors might have an onset early in life,2 and show more severe symptoms of PD. The frequency of parasthesia and chills or hot flashes is relatively low among the 13 PA symptoms in all PD patients as a whole. These results suggest that the high-frequency symptoms in PA, such as palpitation and smothering, are commonly observed symptoms in PD patients regardless of FH, and in addition, only PD patients with a first-degree FH of PD specifically experience these two symptoms. The hypothesized shared neurocircuit model in PA and hot flashes involves several regions such as the hypothalamus, brainstem, insula, and cingulate cortex.3 The present results suggest that there is dysregulation of these regions in PD patients with putative genetic factors. Further study is needed to confirm the identification of PA symptoms in the multiplex PD family.

You've no doubt heard by now that a 7-page article in Wednesday's (8/24) Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) concludes that unborn children likely don't feel pain until about the 28th week of pregnancy. No coincidence, obviously, that such information is made available just as the Unborn Child Pain Awareness Act is before lawmakers. The Act would affect just 1.4%, or 18,000 of the nearly 1.3 million legal abortions each year in the U.S. But for the "pro-choice" forces in America, any impediment to free and unfettered access to abortion is insurmountable.
Witness the rhetoric of Minnesota Planned Parenthood CEO Sarah Stoesz, who recently remarked that asking women contemplating abortion to consider that, "on top of everything else, they might be inflicting pain, seems to me cruel and unforgiveable." Indeed, it seems the goal is to remove all social, physical, and moral stigma from the desperate act of terminating a life.
But in her Philadelphia Inquirer story, picked up by Knight-Ridder syndication, Marie McCullough concludes with a bit of information largely overlooked by those reporting on the JAMA article. The piece fails to mention that one author is an abortion clinic director, and the lead author--medical student Susan Lee--once worked for NARAL's "Pro-Choice America." Journal editor-in-chief Catherine DeAngelis acknowledges the fact might create "an appearance of bias."
But there is little doubt such bias exists, and will continue to be found, whenever the incendiary issue of abortion is discussed. For as long as a buck can still be made by viciously ending the life of an innocent child, the conspiracy of misinformation foisted by the abortion industry, and their willing accomplices in the media, will continue. But the overwhelming evidence points to one sad conclusion. Even if a pre-born child does not feel the pain of an abortion, her mother does--and will--for the rest of her life.
