Abstract: A plant container includes: an outer receptacle that includes at least one drain hole in its base; an inner receptacle that fits inside the outer receptacle, the inner receptacle including at least one feeding hole in its base; a sealing element located between the outer receptacle and inner receptacle, wherein the sealing element extends around the at least one feeding hole and the at least one drain hole so as to provide a seal between the outer receptacle and the inner receptacle when the inner receptacle sits on the sealing element; and an overflow conduit that provides a passage for fluid to flow from the at least one drain hole in the base of the outer receptacle to an outlet in the overflow conduit, the outlet in the overflow conduit being located between the base of the inner receptacle and the top of the inner receptacle.

Abstract: A method and system (28) are provided for dynamically controlling the content of a local receiver data base (24, 26) from a transmitter data base (20) in an information retrieval communication network (28) in which a message transmitter transmitting the transmitter data base (20) dynamically provides data base messages over a message distribution network (22) to local receivers receiving the local receiver data bases (24, 26). The transmitter data base (20) messages are used to incrementally increase and decrease the content of the local receiver data base (24, 26) on a record-by-record basis. In addition, non-data base messages may also be provided. The data base messages consist of displayable data as well as file maintenance messages. Storage templates (42) are retrievably stored at the local receiver data base (24, 26). These storage templates (42) are locally retrieved based on receipt of a unique identifier.
