Update: Not a minaret, but it is Islamic.

From wiki: "It was erected by the Almohad Caliphate in order to control access to Seville via the Guadalquivir river.

Constructed in the first third of the 13th century, the tower served as a prison during the Middle Ages. Its name comes from the golden shine it projected on the river, due to its building materials."

51 Guadalquivir is the fifth-longest river in the Iberian Peninsula and the second-longest river with its entire length in Spain. The river is the only major navigable river in Spain. Currently it is navigable from Seville to the Gulf of Cádiz, but in Roman times it was navigable from Córdoba.

Geography
The river is 657 km (408 mi) long and drains an area of about 58,000 km2 (22,000 sq mi). It rises at Cañada de las Fuentes (village of Quesada) in the Cazorla mountain range (Jaén), flows through Córdoba and Seville and reaches the sea between the municipalities of Almonte and the fishing village of Bonanza, in Sanlúcar de Barrameda, flowing into the Gulf of Cádiz, in the Atlantic Ocean.

70 The tower still survives:
https://sevillecityguide.com/torredeloro.html

Built in the 12th century; I find it fascinating that it appears to be of the same general design as the great Pharos in Alexandria. Of course that did not survive but we have many descriptions, notably that it was a great tower built in 3 successively smaller levels. Of the actual look of the Pharos, there is much conjecture.

92 Wanted to look at this on a bigger screen. It is a very nice painting, bright and with some, but not a lot, of activity going on. It’s easy to look at without it being distracting. I like the river and reflections along with the clouds and buildings in the background. If you have a room that is not well lighted, or maybe a smaller room, this would add light and depth to it.

93 It's not even that similar looking, but it really reminds me of the White Tower in Thessaloniki for some reason.

94 I like the realistic detail of the painting and the low, shore-level perspective. It allows the viewer to follow the line of the water which is the center of the area's activity, despite the work's title. The way the water and sky blend emphasizes the distance involved and the sultry feel of the place. I also like the darker land and people and how it stands out against the lighter colors of sky, water and buildings. It's very effective at presenting a feel of the area.

109 According to Columbia Law School Professor Joshua Mitts, one of the authors of the study, “that’s extremely unusual.” It was also profitable: the shares sold short for one Israeli company alone yielded a profit of nearly $900,000.

They found that the short-selling activity in early October was “really extraordinary, even when you compare it to those periods of instability, which there were many.”

Something similar had happened before, though — on April 3, a couple of days before the Jewish holiday of Passover. The study links this to an Israeli media report claiming Hamas had initially planned its attack for the eve of Passover.

“It’s almost the same magnitude.What are the odds?” asks Mitts.

“The other thing we know,” he adds, “is that this looks to have been the product of a single trader, based on what we can see in the data. This is extraordinarily unusual.”

All of this led them to their conclusion that the trades were not a coincidence, but a tactic by someone who knew the attack was coming.

119 "The Israel Defense Forces finished assembling large seawater pumps roughly one mile north of the Al-Shati refugee camp around the middle of last month," the report indicates. "Each of at least five pumps can draw water from the Mediterranean Sea and move thousands of cubic meters of water per hour into the tunnels, flooding them within weeks."

Some US officials were cited as expressing "concern" about the plan, also given the potential to kill more civilians and further destroy the Strip's infrastructure. A prime issue is that some 137 Israeli and foreign hostages remain in Hamas captivity after the end of last week's ceasefire and prisoner swap deal.

"It’s impossible to know if that will be effective because we don’t know how seawater will drain in tunnels no one has been in before."

There's also the question of the seawater destroying altogether what's left of the Strip's already damaged water system, which draws on Gaza’s increasingly saltier aquifer. The whole flooding initiative could also bring down more buildings or entire blocks, making the place uninhabitable for years to come.

Yup. With as riddled with tunnels as Hamas and its predecessors have made the Strip, these are very real risks. The collateral damage could be extreme, both in terms of physical destruction (destabilizing the land) and in terms of the environment (salting the earth).

There is also a pretty easy way to prevent what has the potential to be a slow-motion WMD from being unleashed on Gaza. I doubt, however, that the Gazans will elect to take that option.

Israel Hamas gaza war Map update:

The IDF has advanced into southern Gaza, taking up positions on the central road into Khan Yunis. The coast road remains passable for the time being.

Israel has also resumed attacks in the North, in the vicinity of Jabalia.

- It seems Israel's current goal in the south is to create another east to west strong zone for the IDF - cutting gaza into 3 slices.

- Arab social media rumors that the IDF is reaching the coastal road bear Khan Younis, but that it remains open currently.

198 Cost Plus

Under the plan, CVS’s roughly 9,500 retail pharmacies will get reimbursed by pharmacy-benefit managers and other payers based on the amount that CVS paid for the drugs, in addition to a limited markup and a flat fee to cover the services involved in handling and dispensing the prescriptions. Today, pharmacies are generally paid using complex measures that aren’t directly based on what they spent to purchase specific drugs.
