Mediterranean river discharge patterns depend on properties of the atmospheric water budget as well as on the geographical characteristics of the Mediterranean catchment. A substantial latitudinal gradient characterizes Mediterranean precipitation year-round, with dry areas along the African coast and significantly wetter ones north of the Mediterranean Sea (Struglia et al. 2004). Winter is the main rainy season for the European land regions, which contribute most of the discharge, while summers south of 40 degrees N are basically dry. Most of the water discharge in the northern region occurs during short floods associated with maximum river flow after heavy rainfall, which generally occurs between February and May. The strong summer-winter rainfall contrast, which increases from north to south and from west to east, is the major characteristic of the Mediterranean climate (UNEP/MAP/MED POL, 2003). In the large and medium-sized river basins in north and central Europe, wide-ranging and continuous precipitation is the most common cause of flooding. Floods also occur in association with snow melt in late spring and early summer. Intense shortlasting rainfall during spring and fall affecting small coastal catchments is the main cause of coastal floods in arid and semiarid parts of the Mediterranean area.

The term trace metal is used here for potentially toxic metals that persist in the environment, bioaccumulate in human and animal tissues, and biomagnify in food chains. Metals and organometallic compounds are commonly included in emission inventories and monitoring networks, specially mercury, cadmium and lead. Urban and industrial wastewaters, atmospheric deposition and run-off from metal contaminated sites constitute the major sources of toxic metals. Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are organic compounds that are resistant to environmental degradation through chemical, biological, and photolytic processes. POPs persist in the environment, are capable of long-range transport, bioaccumulate in human and animal tissue, biomagnify in food chains, and have potentially significant impacts on human health and the environment. POPs include certain chlorinated pesticides and industrial chemicals such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), most of which have already been prohibited in Mediterranean countries. However, POPs can also be unintentionally released, mainly as a result of combustion processes or as by-products in some industrial processes. Some examples are dioxins and furans, hexachlorobenzene (HCB), PCBs, or polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).

Most raised-bed garden books use a 4'x4' model. The slope and general arrangement of my backyard wouldn't really allow for that. I mean, it is possible, but not ideal. Boja, being the visual genius that she is, suggested a 2'x8' arrangement. As is usually the case with all of her spoken statements, she was completely right.
I decided on a place to lay the frame down and beat up the area with a mattock.
The frame is plain pine wood from Home Depot. It was difficult to find wood that was actually dry and not split or warped. I couldn't believe how heavy the wood was there. It must have seriously been cut the day before.
I would have preferred Trex or even treated wood, but I couldn't find it in the sizes I wanted. Both were too expensive anyway. Most people think that treated wood can leach chemicals into the soil, but I saw a couple of studies online that showed that this effect is negligible and not a problem at all. The sawdust is a problem during cutting, however. It might also be a bad idea to use treated wood as a cutting board. I also wouldn't use it for a crib. Homemade toothbrushes with the stuff ... yeah, they are also bad. Anyway, if I could find the sizes I wanted, I would make future beds with treated wood - it lasts much longer.
What you see here came from two 10' pieces of ~1.5"x~11.5" wood. We had two 2' pieces cut off of each big plank at Home Depot.
We drilled some holes in the sides and put big screws in there. Making sure the holes and everything lined up while dealing with these very unwieldy boards made me want to try and break them with my head. I highly recommend drinking heavily before assembly. The whole process will take just as long, but at least you will have a good time. Also, being angry and violent while drunk is somewhat acceptable.
After it was all put together, Boja and I took our frame "out back" and put it down in the area I had prepared. I made sure the box was at least somewhat level and filled in the gaps underneath the frame.
When that part was done, I stood around and posed and smiled very smugly. I really should have a stockpile of trophies for moments like those.
When the prospect of anyone besides Boja noticing how magnificent everything looked dwindled, I brought down the giant, redolent bags of soil. I don't remember how many bags we had. Maybe 16 cubic feet? Anyway, I dumped that all in, watered it, and let it sit for a couple of days before planting anything.
Yay!

Lab2014 students presented their final design explorations for Benjamin Bratton's Critical Frameworks section, "2 or 3 Things I Know About The Stack" at The California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Calit2) at UCSD. The group visited an immersive 3-D projection "CAVE", a 4K digital theater and the nanotech cleanrooms on campus, as well as The Salk Institute for Biological Studies.

Fit for purpose? Or beyond repair? Europe’s border management framework has developed a lot over the past decade with the creation of the Schengen Information System, the Visa Information System and the border agency Frontex. Yet, all these instruments already seem overwhelmed by the rapid influx of immigrants and refugees and by the ever present threat of terrorism.
The Euranet Plus and SKAI panels asked if it’s the fault of the EU border member states, such as Greece, Hungary, Italy, that the influx of refugees was so huge; or it is the fault of broader EU failings? The panels also considered whether the EU should accelerate negotiations with states such as Turkey, FYROM and Serbia, in order to convince them to do more to stop the refugees?
The English and Greek language sections asked if Frontex’ tasks of budget, organisation ad regulation are sufficient to get the job done? And, what should the role of Frontex be in Eurosur, the information-exchange framework designed to improve the management of Europe’s external borders? Is a real European system of border guards needed?
The debate was jointly produced by Euranet Plus and Skaï Radio, Greek member of the Euranet Plus network, and was hosted by Skaï Radio’s Stavros Samouilidis, in Greek and in English. A student from the Romanian campus radio station affiliated to Euranet Plus also joined the debate.

Agriculture is the largest non-point source of pollutants in the Mediterranean (UNEP/MAP 2011). Agriculture-related nutrients enter the sea through groundwater, lakes, wetlands, and rivers. Nitrogen consumption per surface unit of arable land is highest in countries of the northern watershed, with the exception of Bosnia-Herzegovina and Albania. In contrast, point-source release is highest on the eastern coast of the Adriatic. Other point sources of nitrogen are concentrated in the Ebro watershed, the eastern coast of the Levantine Basin and the western coast of Tunisia.
