21st Century Watershed Technology Conference And Workshop: Improving
quality and quantity in agriculture at the field, watershed and regional
scales
3 - 9 December 2016 - QUITO, Ecuador
This is the fifth of a series of highly successful international conferences
organized by ASABE and The IKIAM University. Over the last decade there
has been a maturing of watershed science with new research findings
and modeling approaches. These new solutions have resolved many of the
problems that first faced watershed managers in dealing with water quality
and quantity issues, but there are also emerging impediments to watershed
assessments and achieving water quality goals. This international conference
21st Century Watershed Technology: Improving Water Quality and Environment
will look at emerging problems and new solutions to managing watersheds
to meet water quality and quantity standards.
Topics proposed but not limited to:
- Monitoring Technologies / Issues
- Management
- Modeling
- Social Impacts/Studies
- Focus on Ecuador and the Regional Ecosystems
- "Hot Topics" regarding water quality and quantity studies,
climate change, contaminants

How to Crack Down on Social Media Threats
Last week, a prominent feminist writer abandoned social media after
a rape and death threat was directed at her 5-year-old daughter. Online
violent threats are not uncommon, especially for women and minorities,
but when they are reported, police are often not responsive.

Lead poisoning (read in the NYT)
One neglected health issue is lead poisoning, which damages the brain
of young children in ways that harm them for life. The average young American
has gained about 3 I.Q. points because we took lead out of gasoline (and
thus out of the air). But some 850,000 people still die every year from
lead exposure worldwide; this essay explains why lead poisoning should
be a much higher priority.

Is Europe Helpless? (WSJ)
A civilization that believes in nothing will ultimately submit to
anything.
See: http://www.wsj.com/articles/is-europe-helpless-1469488738
My remark (GW): this paper about “helpless Europe” is really interesting
but it sounds funny to me… if Europe is helpless, what about the US and
their incredible murder rates?
Open letter to the President of the European Parliament to encourage

European research organisations call upon the European Parliament
to encourage society to respect independent science advice and to condemn
physical attacks on scientists.

Did you hear about
the blonde that…
* Couldn’t learn to water ski because she couldn’t find a lake with a
slope.
* Got excited because she completed a jigsaw puzzle in 6 months, and on
the box it said „2 - 4 years‟.
* When asked what the capital of California was, their answer was „C‟.
* After losing in a breaststroke swimming competition, they complained
that the other swimmers had used their arms.
