Docker offers a new, lightweight approach to application portability. Applications are shipped using a common container format and managed with a high-level API.

Crisis in the Pits: 'Dash for gas' that hastened miners' fate
Wednesday 14 October 1992
British Coal's demise has been accelerated by the Government's drive to privatise the coal industry, but more so by the recent privatisation of the electricity companies on whose custom British Coal depends to survive.
It was a leaked report by N M Rothschild, the merchant bank advising on the coal sale, that first warned that British Coal might have to shrink to as few as 14 pits to survive. Yesterday's announcement leaves 19 mines. There are fears that may not be the end of the story.
The electricity generators have been forced in the past to buy British Coal under government- imposed contracts which expire early next year. Now, freed from Whitehall shackles, National Power and PowerGen intend to buy more imported coal, which is cheaper and often cleaner than UK coal. More important, however, is the sudden trend to the use of natural gas for power generation.
The 'dash for gas' was hailed by the Government as a way of promoting competition in the electricity generation market. Stations using Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) technology can be built more quickly and cheaply than their coal-burning counterparts and run with one-tenth of the staff. They produce less carbon dioxide and virtually no acid emissions. The theory was that they also produced electricity more cheaply than coal-fired stations.
Plans for about 25 CCGT projects with a total of 21,000 megawatts of generating capacity have already been notified to the National Grid Company. This compares with a total generating capacity of 60,000 megawatts in England and Wales.
The National Grid Company says that if all the projects go ahead, the UK will have 60 per cent too much generating capacity within a few years. Both National Power and PowerGen are among those building CCGTs and to cut capacity they will close mainly coal-fired and oil- fired plants. The rush to burn gas for electricity is in spite of a recent sharp rise in gas prices for electricity generation, which is likely to make some of the planned CCGTs more expensive power producers than modern coal-fired plant.
The prices were increased by 30 per cent last year by British Gas because it believed it could not meet the unexpected surge in demand in the mid 1990s and beyond. In spite of that, the Government's advisers assume that within five years, the UK will have at least 11,000 megawatts of electricity from CCGTs. That is the main reason why the market for coal will be squeezed. British Coal fears that the gas burn will be higher still.
Even if more expensive, the electricity from gas-fired plants will be bought by the regional electricity companies, most of which have already signed 15-year contracts for the supplies. These deals mean that the gas stations will squeeze even modern coal- fired plant off the electricity system, irrespective of price. Under their licences, the regional electricity supply companies can pass costs related to electricity generation on to customers.
Dieter Helm, the director of Oxford Economic Research Associates, says that the age of existing coal fired plants and the cost of replacing them makes the decline of the coal industry inevitable. But he also says the surge of gas projects has made the rundown far too fast.
'The dash for gas has brought a lot of capacity on to a market where there was a glut. Both the Government and regulators are protecting the gas plant in the interests of competition. That's the mess,' he said.
Since the regional electricity companies are also partners in the gas projects, it is in their interests to make sure the CCGTs are a success.
As a result of the dash for gas, the balance of demand and supply facing the coal industry was devastated. This year, British Coal is supplying 65 million tonnes to National Power and PowerGen. But ministerial advisers believe that the market for coal for power generation will have shrunk to around 40 million tonnes by 1996-7.
Some of this total will be met by imports, and both National Power and PowerGen have been expanding their import facilities.
The market outside electricity generation is no more than 15 million tonnes for domestic and industrial use. It is largely offset in the 16 million tonnes from British Coal open-cast mines, worked by contractors. There is also the problem of existing UK coal stocks, which overhang the whole market, standing at an estimated 47 million tonnes.
The Government's advisers are also assuming a slight increase in the amount of electricity generated by Nuclear Electric, which is applying to extend the lives of its ageing Magnox reactors as well as building the Sizewell B pressurised water reactor. Nuclear Electric is subsidised by more than pounds 1bn a year. In addition, government advisers assume some use of orimulsion, an oil-based emulsion which environmentalists say is the dirtiest fuel on earth.
Of the 40 million tonnes of coal burnt, the share of British Coal or its privatised successor depends on the coal price and whether new five-year contracts currently under negotiation with the electricity industry are ever signed.
The pit closures announced yesterday were supposed to coincide with a secured coal deal. They do not take into account the implications for coal if the electricity industry refuses to sign.
Under the contracts being negotiated, British Coal will sell to the generators next year at about 150p per gigajoule, decreasing thereafter. This compares with 185p at present.
But foreign coal is still produced far more cheaply thanks to extensive open-cast mining in Australia and elsewhere. Coal imports can be landed at the Thames Estuary for between 100p and 120p, with prices at inland power stations increasing according to transport costs. The five-year deal is intended to give British Coal a breathing space to allow it to bring prices to world levels, but no deal is yet in sight.

Instacube Now Shipping, Will Feature Video Support
Not too long ago, Instacube was a Kickstarter campaign trying to raise funds for the purpose-built digital photo frame that pulls images from your Instagram feed. Thanks to the donations from backers, the actual product will begin shipping April 5th! The Android-powered photo screen was funded last summer and since then, its creators have created its final hardware that was redesigned to include speakers so that it'll support Instagram video. The product came in two versions – white or classic models – with additional styles not available until they're in full-blown production mode. Creators also mentioned that future updates will allow it to stream content from Vine Facebook and other social media sites. These will be via Over-The-Air updates and will be easy to download.

CARRYING BAG United States Patent O 3,410,376 CARRYING BAG Howard A. Benzel, Lancaster, N.Y., assigner, by mesne assignments, to Automatic Sprinkler Corporation of America, Cleveland, Ohio, a corporation of Ohio Filed Jan. 3, 1967, Ser. No. 606,817 9 Claims. (Cl. 190-44) ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The carrying bag has a main enclosure and a convertible auxiliary section including a detachable panel carrying a collapsible bag. The panel is mounted on an external side wall of the main enclosure and is reversible between stored and use positions of the collapsible bag. The collapsible bag is detachable from the panel.
Background of the invention This invention relates generally to the carrying bag art and in particular to a bag having a main compartment and a convertible auxiliary compartment.
It is often desirous to segregate relatively bulky items such as cameras, golf shoes or the like from articles carried in the main compartment of a bag. This is particularly so in the type of bag commonly known as an attache or brief case wherein the available carrying space is limited. Bags of this type are relatively inflexible and are often provided with a single compartiment which bulky items are comingled within papers, folders or the like with the result that the latter often becomes wrinkled, or otherwise damaged. Separate compartments within bags of this type ha-ve been proposed but these do not provide the requisite additional space for larger, bulkier items, and further limit the available carrying space in a particular bag.
Other conventional bags provide externally accessible side pockets or detachable side bags which project laterally from the main compartment of the bag and which usually are not constructed to carry bulky items. If such bulky items are placed in these side pockets or bags the latter, in addition to the main compartment, would provide a bag of vastly increased overall bulk resulting in an unwieldly and unsightly bag. These side pockets or bags also become useless projections appurtenant from the main compartment when not in use.
Summary of the invention Accordingly, it is a primary object of the present invention to provide a fbag having a main compartment and an auxiliary compartment wherein the auxiliary compartment is adapted to carry relatively bulky items.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a bag having a main compartment and a detachable auxiliary compartment wherein the available carrying space of the bag is increased when the auxiliary compartment is detached.
-It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a bag having a main compartment and an auxiliary compartment reversible between a normally collapsed unemployed position and an externally accessible and extended carrying position without ifmpairing the carrying capacity of the main compartment in either position of the auxiliary compartment.
It is still another object of the present invention to provide a Ibag having the foregoing characteristics wherein the overall bulk of the (bag is not significantly increased with the auxiliary bag detached or in the unemployed position and wherein the bag retains its capability to provide additional carrying space when needed.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide 3,410,376 Patented Nov. l2, 1968 a bag having the -foregoing characteristics wherein the auxiliary compartment is readily, conveniently and easily reversed.
It is yet a further object of the present invention to provide a compound bag having the foregoing characteristics which is easily and inexpensively constructed and which is sightly in appearance with the auxiliary bag in either position or detached.
In one aspect thereof, a bag of the present invention is characterized by the provision of spaced side walls and a peripheral wall extending between the side walls forming a lmain enclosure, means for gaining access within the enclosure, a detachable side panel secured to one of the side walls, and a liexible auxiliary ibag secured to the panel and collapsible into a stored position against the one side wall, the panel ybeing reversibly secured to one side wall whereby the lflexible bag may be extended into a carrying position.
Various other novel features of` construction and advantages inherent in the 'bag construction of the present invention are pointed out in detail in the following description of a typical embodiment thereof considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings depicting the same wherein like numerals represent like parts throughout the various views.
Brief description of the drawings FIG. l is a side elevational view of a bag constructed in accordance with one form of the present invention shown with the auxiliary compartment thereof mounted in external, carrying position;
FIG. 2 is a top plan view thereof;
FIG. 3 is an end elevational view thereof;
FIG. 4 is a transverse cross sectional view thereof taken about on line 4-4 of FIG. l;
FIG. 5 is a fragmentary cross sectional View thereof with the auxiliary compartment shown in a collapsed, stored position;
FIG. 6 is a fragmentary, cross sectional view thereof with the auxiliary compartment detached;
FIG. 7 is an elevational view of the separable side panel; and
FIG. 8 is a horizontal cross sectional view taken albout on line 8-8 of FIG. l.
Description of the preferred embodiment Referring now to the drawings, there is shown a bag 10 constructed in accordance with the present invention and comprising a pair of recessed, generally rectangular, halves or sections 11 and 12 preferably formed of a synthetic plastic material and having mating reinforcing metal bands 13 secured about their juxtaposed peripheries. Sections 11 and 12 are hinged together along their lower sides by a pair of spaced hinges 14 and are releasably latched together `along their opposite, upper sides by a pair of spaced toggle type fasteners 16, of known construction, to provide a main bag enclosure or compartment. A handle 15 is suitably secured to the top 0f bag section 12 and a pair of spaced support feet 18` are secured to the lower side of each bag section adjacent their outer faces for standing bag 10 in upright position as shown in FIGS. l, 3 and 4. The lower side face of fbag section |11 is of corrugated for-rn to provide a plurality of reinforcing ribs 19.
The side face of bag section 12 is formed to provide a generally rectangular, shallow recess 20 of stepped form having a base portion 21 inwardly offset by a surrounding wall 21 from a shoulder 22 parallel to base 21 and inwardly oifset Ifrom the outer face of section 12 by a surrounding wall 22. Shoulder 22 thereby provides a recessed abutment against which a panel 23 bears. A pair of spaced slot formations 24 open through the upper wall Q 22 of recess 20 outwardly of shoulder 22. A fastener 25 is secured in a narrow groove centrally located in a Wider, shallower groove 28 formed through the lower,
VVV-Moutwardly facing margin of section 12 medially of its length, the narrow groove being designated 26. Fastener 25 is of known construction and includes an oblong, rotatable, spring-biased clamphead 27 which seats in a grooved, oblong ibase portion 29.
Side panel 23 comprises a fiat, generally rectangular, base portion 3() encircled by a rim wall 31 to form a recess 33. A marginal dangle 32 projects outwardly from rim 31, parallel to base portion 3G. A pair of spaced, integral tabs 34 project outwardly from flange 32 along the Iupper side thereof and are adapted for insertion into the similarly spaced slot formations 24. An integral ear formation 35 projects outwardly from ange 32 along the lower side of panel 23 and has an oblong aperture therethrough for receiving the grooved base portion 29 and clamp head 27 of fastener 25 when panel 23 is ecured to bag 1t).
A iiexible, auxiliary lbag 38 is secured within recess 33 of panel 23 as by a plurality of snap fasteners 39 which secure the panel oase portion 30 to a rigid rectangular panel 41 forming the bottom of bag 38. In the preferred embodiment, lbag 38 is formed of a flexible, synthetic plastic material having a medial zipper 43 for gaining access into the bag in the usual manner. However, it will be understood that other iiexible or collapsible material such as leather, cloth or the like and other fastening devices such as straps, etc., may be utilized without departing from the scope of the invention.
To secure side panel 23 and its associated auxiliary bag 3S in the unemployed stored position illustrated in FIG. 5, bag 38 is folded against its bottom panel 41 to collapse a portion of bag 33 within panel recess 33, and panel 23 is positioned so that bag 33 faces base portion 21 of bag section 12. Tabs 34 are slip inserted into slots 24 and bag 3S is compressed between base portions 21 and 30 so that panel iiange 32 seats against shoulder 22 with recesses 20 and 31 complementarily providing an auxiliary bag storage compartment. Ear formation 35 engages in the larger outer groove 28 with base portion 29 and claim 27 of fastener 25 projecting outwardly through aperture 36, and panel 23 is locked to bag section 12 by rotating clamp 27 to the position seen in FIG. l. With bag 33 thus stored, panel base portion 3G projects slightly beyond the side face of section 12 with the head portions of fasteners 39 providing bag supports when bag 10 is laid flat on a supporting surface.
To utilize the Ibag with both the main enclosure and l auxiliary bag forming separate carrying compartments, side panel 23 is removed and reversed to the position illustrated in FIG. 4. Tabs 34 are again inserted through slots 24 and panel 23 nests in recess 20 with the underside of iiange 32 bearing against shoulder 22. Ear formation 35 engages in g-roove 28 with fastener 25 projecting through aperture 36, and clamp 27 is rotated again to lock panel 23 to bag section 12. In this position, bag 38 extends outwardly of bag 10 to provide a usable, externally accessible auxiliary carrying compartment which has sufiicient length and depth to accommodate the bulky items of the type hereinbefore discussed.
Auxiliary bag 38 may also be detached from panel 23, as illustrated in FIG. 6, by unsnapping the same frcm base portion 30. This permits bag 38 to be used elsewhere and increases the available carrying space when the auxiliary bag is not needed since the space between base portion `21 and 30 may serve as an additional carrying space for papers or the like.
It is thus apparent that the objects of my invention have been fulfilled. There is provided a bag having a main section and a readily convertible section. When bag 38 is detached or in the stored position illustrated respectively in FIGS 5 and 6, the external appearance of bag 10 is substantially similar to that of a conventional bag of this type. Also, the laternal bulk of 4'nag 10 has not been significantly increased in either of these positions yet bag 10 retains the capability of readily and easily providing additional carrying space for relatively bulky items when required. Moreofver, due to the nested relation of panel 23 in recess 2t) when bag 38 is in the external carrying position illustrated in FIG. 4, the overall bulk of the -bag is significantly reduced than would be the clase if the auxiliary bag was merely fixed to the side of a bag of this type.
What I claim as new is:
l.. A bag having spaced side walls and a peripheral wall extending between said side walls forming a main enclosure, means Afor gaining access within said enclosure, a detachable side panel secured to one of said side walls, and a flexible auxiliary bag secured to said panel on one side face thereof and collapsible into a stored position against said one side wall, said panel being reversible on said one side wall whereby said tiexible bag can be extended into an externally accessible carrying position.

Cover crops are growing in popularity in Iowa. Research shows that when cover crops are added to a corn-soybean rotation, they can help reduce nitrogen and phosphorus loads entering water bodies, increase soil organic matter and reduce soil erosion. When cover crops are used in combination with other conservation management practices, point and nonpoint source pollution is reduced in Iowa waters and downstream.

After coming up just short in the past two years, Israel will be looking to
return to the Davis Cup World Group when it visits Japan in the playoffs in
Tokyo this weekend.The blue-and-white needed just two days to open an
unassailable 3-0 lead over Portugal in the second round of the Europe/Africa
Zone Group I tie at Ramat Hasharon in April to clinch its place in the playoffs,
eventually winning 3-2.However, since falling 4-1 to Chile in March 2010
and dropping out of the World Group, Israel has twice just missed out on
regaining its place among the world's top 16 nations, losing at home in the
fifth and decisive rubber to both Austria in 2010 and Canada last
year.The national team faces a completely different proposition
beginning Friday, with Japan the firm favorite to advance at the Ariake
Colosseum.Japan may not be considered a tennis powerhouse, but its Davis
Cup squad boasts three players in the top-100, while Israel's includes just
about one.The 22-year-old Kei Nishikori, ranked No. 16 in the world, is
the team's undoubted star, reaching the quarterfinals at the Australian Open
earlier this year as well as the last eight at the London Olympics.Go
Soeda (53) will be Japan's No. 2 player, with Tatsuma Ito (67) and Yuichi Sugita
(141) set to team-up in the doubles match as well as providing extra cover for
the singles.Dudi Sela (98) was drawn on Thursday to face Soeda in the
first match of the tie, with Amir Weintraub (223) to come up against Nishikori
in the second rubber on Friday.Andy Ram and Yoni Erlich will play Ito
and Sugita in Saturday's doubles match, with the reverse singles to take place
on Sunday.Sela enters the tie in far from ideal form after falling to
Japan's Hiroki Moriya (207) in the first round of the Challenger tournament in
Shanghai last week.The Israel No. 1 claimed the Challenger title in
Bangkok the previous week after skipping the US Open qualifiers and he is in an
upbeat mood after getting his wish and being drawn to play in the opening rubber
in Tokyo."I've known Soeda for many years. We played each other as youth
players and I'm looking forward to meeting him again," Sela said."We are
all in excellent form and we will give our best to win.I hope that we
can end the first day with at least one point."Much like Sela, Weintraub
has also had very little to cheer about in 2012. However, he has raised his
level of play in the Davis Cup since making his debut for Israel last March,
beating opponents ranked well above him in his opening matches in the team's
last three ties."We may not have the crowd on our side this time, but we
believe in ourselves," said Weintraub."We are in good form and ready for
this tough battle."After a 26-year absence, Japan advanced to the World
Group with a victory over India last September before losing 3-2 to Croatia on
home soil in February to drop to the playoffs."That was a tough match,"
Nishikori said of the defeat to the Croats."Now we have to face a team
with veteran players like Dudi and Amir."Soeda will be aiming to claim
his first career win against Sela."His backhand slice is very effective.
He has a variety of shots that he can control well," Soeda said."I have
to play my game against him. I think I have a chance because this is the first
time I will be playing him in a five-set match."The only rubber Israel
will be entering as the favorite will be the doubles, and Erlich admitted ahead
of the trip to Japan that this may be his last Davis Cup
appearance."This is a very important tie for us. Everyone understands
how significant this is to us," said the 35-year-old Erlich, who is considering
retiring at the end of the year."I'm not that young anymore and a lot of
things are going through my head."I will think everything over at the
end of the year and decide what to do with my friends and family."
