Earlier this month, and given the ongoing massacres and genocide in Gaza, the dock workers in Barcelona (Catalonia) declared that they won't allow ships with weapons in the Barcelona port. Barcelona's port is the 5th busiest container port in the Mediterranean.

It's not the first time that the Barcelona dock workers have refused to serve ships that carry war material, but this time they have created a more stable way to proceed. The union representative has said that they will "act automatically when we detect the presence of a ship with war load".

This was their statement, which I translate to English below:

We, the dock workers of Barcelona's port, from our free and independent organization (OEPB), want to reiterate our most absolute rejection of any form of violence.

As a workers' collective, it is our duty and commitment to respect and vehemently defend the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, human rights that seem to have been forgotten by the same countries that signed the Carta Magna and which nowadays are being violated in Ukraine, Israel or the Palestinian territory, among other places in the world.

This is why we have decided in assembly to not allow in our port the activity of any ships that carry war material, with the only purpose of protecting the civilian population, wherever they are from. No cause justifies killing civilians.

We demand an immediate ceasefire and to proceed searching for peaceful resolutions of the different conflicts. We also ask the UN to stop its complicity by inaction or negligence of its functions, and [the UN] to take back the spirits and motive for which it was founded:

• Keeping the peace and safety around the world

• Protecting human rights

• Distributing humanitarian help

• Supporting sustainable development and climate action

• Defending international law.

Barcelona, November 6th 2023

Dock workers in Belgium, Italy and the USA have already blocked ships that were suspicious of carrying weapons for Israel, and activists in other places like Kent (England) have blocked factories that make weapons.

Does your workplace contribute to killing civilians and genocide? How does your city, town or area contribute to sending military equipment to Israel? Do your buying habits send money to support the displacement or killing of Palestinian people?

There are many changes that need to be done to stop contributing and to leave Israel alone and unable to continue its massacres.

DON-2N radar, near Moscow

The Don-2N radar was developed at the Radio Engineering Institute of the USSR Academy of Sciences named after A.L. Mints. During the construction of the station, which began in 1978, more than 30 thousand tons of metal, 50 thousand tons of concrete, 20 thousand km of cable, hundreds of kilometers of water pipelines and more than 10,000 cast iron valves were used. After installation, installation and commissioning of equipment (1980-1987), the station was put into service in 1989, and in 1996 it was put on combat duty.

2 and 10 for the end of year math asks, please?

:D (2) What is the hardest problem you solved?

probably this exam question that involved expanding several things in spherical harmonics (and calculating the first few coefficients) in the context of a physics problem that i forgot. conceptually not as hard but wow those coefficients and algebra errors

maybe this other problem from a proof class homework where we were supposed to prove some infinite product is greater than or equal to a finite expression. it was among the more difficult because there was more creativity around getting the inequality into comparable sets of nested inequalities where the terms had more similar formats. induction was fun :)

related: this one inhomogeneous diffusion equation PDE. steady state solutions are fun to find!! i guess it wasn't the most difficult to me at the time but it had a lot of concepts used in one approach and i enjoyed that a lot!!

me and a friend (college) tried doing the harder AMC 12 B problems for fun and those Felt the hardest. sometimes spending too many minutes just parsing the wording of the question. for putnam, the only question i fully solved was underwhelming to me so idk about that one

(10) Who is the most inspiring mathematician to you at the moment?Did this change throughout this year?

my acquaintance from a math club back in high school. she went to math olympiads abroad and all that, and at club she still was patient with teaching and explaining concepts. i hope and try to be inviting like she was when i talk about the math that i like. i think in my mind she kept being the most inspiring throughout this year. i read about proofs and developments in fields and i get impressed but not inspired
