Competence network for phenotyping science (Germany)
CROP.SENSe.net is an innovative, interdisciplinary research network, with partners working together to non‐destructively and quantitatively analyse and screen plant phenotype throughout plants' lifecycles. The ultimate aim of the project is early, non‐biased and faster assessment of traits in lab and field to enable greater efficiency in crop breeding and to optimise decision making in crop management.

A new Spatial dataset on soils (52 layers)
The first EFSA Spatial Data set (Version 1.0) consisted of 52 spatial layers and was made available in May 2011. Some users commented on inconsistencies in the data, mainly with respect to the spatial characteristics of various layers. The JRC reprocessed all thematic layers from their respective sources. This task resulted in an update to the previous data, hereafter referred to as EFSA Spatial Data Version 1.1. This dataset was supplemented with data from the CAPRI land cover database.
Public users and researchers are welcomed to download the EFSA dataset at the link: http://eusoils.jrc.ec.europa.eu/library/Data/EFSA/

A 54 year old woman had a heart attack and was taken to the hospital

While on the operating table she had a near death experience.

Seeing God she asked "Is my time up?"

God said, "No, you have another 43 years, 2 months and 8 days to live."

Upon recovery, the woman decided to stay in the hospital and have a face-lift, liposuction, breast implants and a tummy tuck. She even had someone come in and change her hair colour and brighten her teeth! Since she had so much more time to live, she figured she might as well make the most of it.

After her last operation, she was released from the hospital. While crossing the street on her way home, she was killed by an ambulance.

Arriving in front of God, she demanded,
"I thought you said I had another 43 years? Why didn't you pull me from out of the path of the ambulance?"

(You'll love this)






















God replied: "I didn't bloody recognize you."
