Abstract: The embodiments of the present invention aim to integrate two common agricultural-practices, first of hothouses cover application, and second of protective netting. A method for reversibly sealing the pores of netting by applying a sealing agent on a net in a reversible manner, thereby producing an agricultural covering to protect underlying crops, particularly from cold conditions, is disclosed. A method for reversibly opening the pores of a sealed net, by exposing said portion of the net to chemical or physical unsealing agents and thus opening at least a portion of the sealed pores of the net, is conjointly disclosed. Furthermore, a method of including additives to the sealing agent, which enhances the protective properties of the resultant covering such as its ability to repel insects, its ability to block ultraviolet or other radiation, its water proofing qualities, is also disclosed.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling at least one executable on a blade server having a controller, which is accessible to the blade server and to at least one blade having access to a storage device in association with the controller. The controller has access to a source snapshot of at least one executable stored on the storage device An available blade is selected for loading an instance of a running snapshot associated with the source snapshot, and the instance of the running snapshot is loaded to the available blade.
