title: Nahj al-Haq wa Kashf al-Sedq

text:
Nahj al-Haqq wa Kashf al-Sidq ( — "Way of rightness and discovering truth") is a book written by Allamah Al-Hilli (Died: 726). It presented claims that Sunnism was at odds with the Quran and that Shiism was the correct interpretation of Islam.

Author
Abu Mansur Jamal Addin Hasan Ibn Yousuf Ibn Motahhar known as Allamah Al-Hilli (b.1250/died:1325) was the author. He is best known for his writing on jurisprudence and theology.

History
Fazl Ibn Rouzbahan Isfahani wrote Ibtal Al Batel Va Ihmal Kashf Al Atel, which rejected Nahj al-Haqq wa Kashf al-Sidq. Shahid Qadi Nou Allah Shoushtari criticized the latter and defended Hilli in Ihqaq Al Haq.

Content
The book considered eight major topics:

 The senses (Mahsousat) divided into seven subjects such as perception and conditions of seeing.
 Knowledge, divided into seven subjects such as necessity of knowledge by men of knowledge, knowledge on conclusions in assessments.
 God, divided into eleven subjects such as God's powers and lack of a corporeal form.
 Prophecy, divided into three parts such as the innocence of Muhammad's mother and father.
 Leadership, divided into four topics such as the qualities of an Imam.
 Resurrection, divided into two parts such as proving the existence of corporeal resurrection.
 Jurisprudence, divided into two parts such as religious duty.
 Jurisprudence (again), divided into seventeen parts.

title: Fenestella (bryozoan)

text:
Fenestella is a genus of bryozoans or moss animals, forming fan–shaped colonies with a netted appearance. It is known from the Middle Ordovician to the early Upper Triassic (Carnian), reaching its largest diversity during the Carboniferous. Many hundreds of species have been described from marine sediments all over the world.

Etymology
Fenestella is Latin, meaning little window, from fenestra "window", for the window-like openings in the mesh of the skeleton of its colonies.

Description
The skeleton of Fenestella colonies consists of stiff branches that are interconnected by narrower crossbars (or dissepiments). Between two and eight individuals of the colony inhabit each of the opposing front sides of the approximately rectangular openings between the branches (or fenestule) in one row, and the void they left when they died can be recognized as two rows of small rimmed pores (or apertures) on the front of each branch. In well-preserved specimens these are closed by centrally perforated lids. In Fenestella, the front of the branches may carry small nodes in a row in the middle. Branches split (or bifurcate) from time to time giving the colonies a fan-shaped appearance. The internal structure of the branches is of decisive importance in the assignment of specimens to genera and species, which greatly hampers identification of intact fossils. Compared to other fenestellids with two rows of apertures, Fenestella is relatively fine, with large apertures and wide dissepiments. The distance between apertures in Fenestella remains the same as colonies grow and individuals (or zooids) will have had equal size lophophores.

Taxonomy
In 1935 the name Fenestella M'Coy, 1844 was replaced by Fenestrellina, because it is a junior homonym of a bivalve, now considered synonymous with Anomia. In 1962 however, Fenestella was reinstated for the bryozoan genus. The misspelling Fenestrella became officially rejected. The name in the early third millennium in general was given as Fenestella Lonsdale, 1839.

Reassigned species
Because Fenestella was erected early on in paleontology, many species have since been reassigned to other Fenestellid genera.
 F. ampla = Protoretepora ampla
 F. cinctuta = Anastomopora cinctuta
 F. conica = Ptiloporina conica
 F. conjunctiva = Isotrypa conjunctiva
 F. crassa = Fenestrellina crassa
 F. jabensis = Fenestepora jabensis
 F. lata = Unitrypa lata
 F. laticrescens = Ptiloporella laticrescens
 F. perforata = Loculipora perforata
 F. quincuncialis = Lyoporella quincuncialis
 F. subquadrans = Lyopora subquadrans
 F. wortheni = Archimedes wortheni

title: AMBER (Very Large Telescope)

text:
AMBER, the Astronomical Multi-Beam Recombiner, is an instrument mounted on the Very Large Telescope (VLT), combining the light of the three Unit Telescopes in the near-infrared of the VLT-Interferometer (VLTI). It is at the source of a considerable number of publications in the field of optical long-baseline interferometry.

It combines three out of the four telescopes of the VLTI, through a spectrograph, making it a unique instrument, combining spectroscopy and interferometry. These properties, and the fact that AMBER is an open-community instrument, made it a successful instrument. It can be compared to its fellow in the mid-infrared, the MIDI instrument in terms of the number of publications.

Highlights from the AMBER instrument include the first detection of a Keplerian-rotating disk around a Be star, the discovery of disks around evolved stars, the characterization of the disks of young stars, the observations of novae, the sharpest images of evolved stars  and the characterization of the central dusty torus of active galactic nuclei. As of the end of 2017, 150 refereed papers had been published using AMBER data.

After his studies, he emigrated to the United States in 1880 and started working at the E. P. Allis Company in Milwaukee. He founded his own company, the Bruno V. Nordberg Company, in 1886. The company manufactured a cutoff governor for steam engines Nordberg had invented. In 1890, it moved to a larger facility under the Nordberg Manufacturing Company name.

Nordberg died at his home in Milwaukee after an illness of two years in 1924.

title: While Waiting for Godot

text:
While Waiting for Godot is a web series adaptation of Samuel Beckett’s play En Attendant Godot. It is the winner of Best Cinematography at the 2014 Rome Web Awards, and an Official Selection of the 2014 Miami Web Fest.

The screenplay is based on a 2013 translation (by director Rudi Azank), "in order to restore the language of Beckett’s more risqué original French script (the English script of the play has always been heavily censored). Also more present in the original manuscript are strong Vaudevillian and Jewish aspects of Didi and Gogo, the two lead characters, and a more 'gutter-talk' based banter between Beckett's homeless protagonists.

Plot
Two tramps, while waiting, are prompted by text message to roam modern-day New York City due to Godot's indecisiveness about where to meet. They eventually encounter an aristocrat, Pozzo, and her slave, Lucky.

Cast
 Rudi Azank as Didi
 Ran Shelomi as Gogo
 Jenel Moliere as Pozzo
 Molly Densmore as Lucky
 Stephen Kaiser-Pendergrast as Steven / Stefan

Critical reception

ComedyTVisDead.com praised the series calling it “wonderfully unique, surreal and darkly humorous...It’s bringing classic theatre to the 21st century audience with a great deal of creativity and confidence. This could so easily have been simply a filmed play, but the neat little additions the show’s creators have added on have made this a truly brilliant show.” The Poughkeepsie Journal remarked “through his own vision of the modern urban impoverished, Azank emphasizes the humanity of Godot and makes it timely."

Adrian McCoy (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette) said of the show, “While Waiting for Godot adds unexpected elements, such as a funny line followed by a drum roll and laugh track, mysterious text messages and a great soundtrack, a modern layer of social commentary -- specifically the issue of urban homelessness -- it incorporates real images of life on the street, giving it a gritty documentary feel at times. The camera pans through streets lined with homeless people sleeping, sitting, going nowhere, just like the play's characters.”

"Azank's updating does in fact work; it's neither heavy-handed nor ill-conceived as so many updates of scripts often are, and as a filmed work with the actual backdrop of the city behind the cast, the changes agree with the setting. It's unusual to see GODOT with actual background and physical context that's not sparse, and the grounding in a very real, though altered-by-the-camera, New York changes the viewer's perspective entirely if familiar with the stage version - the absurdism is suddenly anchored in reality, making it seem perhaps less unreal than it normally does."

title: Sean Coyle (baseball)

text:
Sean Edward Coyle (born January 17, 1992) is an American former professional baseball second baseman. Listed at 5' 8" (1.70 m), 175 lb. (79 k), Coyle batted and threw right handed. He was born in Chalfont, Pennsylvania.

High school
Coyle hit .562 with 55 runs batted in and a school-record 13 home runs as a senior at Germantown Academy, to claim 2009–2010 Pennsylvania Gatorade Player of the Year honors and a selection to the 2010 Baseball America All-America High School First Team. Previously, he had batted .296 in eight games for USA Baseball's 18-and-under team at the 2009 Pan American Junior Championships (COPABE) held in Barquisimeto, Venezuela.

Professional career

Boston Red Sox
The Red Sox selected Coyle in the third round of the 2010 MLB draft out of Germantown Academy in Fort Washington, Pennsylvania, signing him for a bonus of $1,300,000. He then played from 2010 through 2013 for the Gulf Coast League Red Sox, Greenville Drive and Salem Red Sox, before joining the Portland Sea Dogs in 2014. He was added to the 40-man roster in November 2014.

Coyle was named the Red Sox's No. 17 prospect by MLB.com entering the 2012 season, after leading Class-A Greenville and sharing the lead among Red Sox minor leaguers with seven triples in 2011. He also topped Greenville in walks (60), while ranking second both in doubles (27) and runs (77) as well as third in RBI (64) and stolen bases (14). In addition, Coyle collected a career-high seven RBI in Greenville's season finale against the Hickory Crawdads on September 5, 2011 and was named a MiLB Organizational All-Star in that season, repeating that honor in 2012.

In 2013, Coyle was a member of the Salem champion team and was named the Carolina League Championship Series MVP after hitting two two-run doubles for a total of seven RBI in the three-game series. Unfortunately, he did not play in the Division Series due to an injury.

Coyle was added to the US roster for the 2014 All-Star Futures Game in late June, 2014. He was named as a replacement for Mookie Betts, who was no longer eligible after his promotion to the Boston Red Sox. The announcement highlighted a resurgence for Coyle, who appeared in only 60 games in an injury-plagued 2013 season. Along with missing time with injuries to his thumb, knee, and elbow, he hit only .241 while repeating the Carolina League.

After a solid start in 2014 with Double-A Portland, Coyle then missed four weeks with a hamstring injury. Nevertheless, he was dominant after his activation in May, and excelled in June. In one particularly impressive stretch, he went 8-for-15 (.533) with five walks, four extra-base hits, and 11 RBI in a four-game series against the Reading Fightin Phils, winning a Player of the Week distinction (June 23–29). The month was capped when he posted a slash line of .348/.450/.652 with an organization-leading six home runs to earn Player of the Month honors, as well as his Futures Games and Eastern League All-Star Game selections on the same day. He hit .295/.371/.512 in 384 plate appearances in 2014, driving in 61 runs and scoring 60 times, while mashing 16 homers and stealing 13 bases. After that, he joined the Surprise Saguaros of the Arizona Fall League in the month of November. Coyle credited much of his success to the influence of former Red Sox catcher Rich Gedman, who served as his hitting instructor at Salem and coached him at Portland.

In 2015 Coyle gained a promotion to the Triple-A Pawtucket Red Sox. He was rated as the Red Sox's No. 17 prospect in 2015, according to MLB.com.

Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim
In mid-July 2016, Coyle was designated for assignment by the Red Sox. On July 18, he was claimed off waivers by the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.

Baltimore Orioles
On December 13, 2016, Coyle signed a minor league contract with the Baltimore Orioles organization. He was released on June 5, 2017.

title: Palmerella

text:
Palmerella is a genus of plants in the family Campanulaceae. It has only one known species, Palmerella debilis, long known by the synonym Lobelia dunnii. It is native to 8 counties in southern California (San Diego, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa Barbara and Monterey) plus the northern part of Baja California.

The oldest name for the plant is Palmerella debilis, coined by Asa Gray in 1876. Greene in 1889 wanted to move the species to the genus Lobelia, but could not use the name Lobelia debilis, because that name had already been used for a different plant by Linnaeus f. in 1782. Hence Greene created the replacement name Lobelia dunnii. More recent publications favor reverting to Gray's older name.

Two subspecies are recognized:
Palmerella debilis subsp. debilis - Baja California
Palmerella debilis subsp. serrata (A.Gray) Lammers - California and Baja California

title: Herbst Woods

text:
Herbst Woods or sometimes called McPherson Woods, now known as Reynolds Woods, is a wooded area west of McPherson Ridge near Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.  The small wooded area was the location of a military engagement during the first day at the Battle of Gettysburg on July 1, 1863.  The battle near the woods occurred around 10 a.m. on the first day of battle at Gettysburg.  Confederate Brigadier General James J. Archer took two brigades, consisting of the 1st, 7th and 14th Tennessee Regiments, as well as the 13th Alabama Regiment over Willoughby Run and through Herbst Woods to engage the Union brigades.  The Confederates would face off against Brigadier General Solomon Meredith and his brigades consisting of the 19th Indiana, 24th Michigan, 2nd Wisconsin and 7th Wisconsin Regiments.  When the fight was over at Herbst Woods (battle), Archer was captured and the Union I Corps Commander John F. Reynolds was killed.  Today Herbst Woods (Reynolds Woods) is renamed in honor of Major General Reynolds.

title: Pleß (mountain)

text:
The Pleß is a mountain, , in the county of Schmalkalden-Meiningen in the Salzungen Werra Highland in the German state of Thuringia.

Location
The Pleß is generally seen as the northeasternmost mountain of the Anterior Rhön, but is counted by the Bundesanstalt für Landeskunde as part of the adjacent natural region of the Salzung Werra Upland to the  northeast. The Thurigian State Office for Geology and the Environment (Thüringer Landesanstalt für Umwelt und Geologie) sees it as part of the Rhön. Geologically it was clearly formed as part of the volcanism of the Rhön, but is surrounded by the bunter sandstone of the Werra Upland.

Among the nearest municipalities are Bad Salzungen to the north. Breitungen to the east-northeast, the nearby Rosa to the south and Urnshausen to the southwest. Seen from the Thuringian Forest which is somewhat further east it is on the left (east-southeast) next to the mountains of Baier, Dietrichsberg (Dietrich) and Öchsenberg (Öchsen).

Description
The Pleß is of basaltic volcanic origin.

At the summit of the Pleß is a viewing tower from which the mountains of the Thuringian Forest and the Rhön, the valley of the Werra and the castle of Wartburg can be seen.

History
The original name of the Pleß was the Bleßberg. However, because there were two Bleßbergs in the Duchy of Saxe-Meiningen, an "upland"  Bleßberg in the vicinity of Eisfeld and this "lowland" one - which often led to confusion – the name was changed at the behest of Duke George II at the end of the 19th century to Pleßberg. A short time later, the suffix "-berg" was dropped.

As early as the 19th century the Pleßhaus (north of the summit) and a viewing tower were built. In East Germany the mountain was declared an out-of-bounds area as part of the Bad Salzungen Training Area which extended mainly to the north of the mountain. The Pleßhaus was used as accommodation for the soldiers. Later, a barracks was built on the Pleß, but it stood empty and slowly decayed. Even the viewing tower was demolished.

Keen locals began the preservation of the Pleßhaus. The new Pleßhaus was rebuilt at the Jägerstein. The inn there bears the name Seeblick today.

Following the gradually withdrawal of the Bundeswehr during the 1990s, it became possible to walk in the area again. In March 1996 the municipality of Breitungen purchased the area of the Pleßberg and has since had its own Hausberg. In the wake of that, some time later a new observation tower was built on the Pleß.

title: Fountain for Company H

text:
Fountain for Company H, also known as Second Oregon Company Volunteers, is a 1914 fountain and war memorial designed by John H. Beaver, installed in Portland, Oregon's Plaza Blocks, in the United States. Dedicated to the men of Company H of the 2nd Oregon Volunteer Infantry Regiment killed in service during the Spanish–American War, the limestone and bronze memorial was installed in Lownsdale Square in 1914. It is part of the City of Portland and Multnomah County Public Art Collection courtesy of the Regional Arts & Culture Council.  The memorial has been included in published walking tours of Portland.

Description
The limestone and bronze memorial is installed on the west side of Lownsdale Square, facing the Multnomah County Courthouse along Southwest 4th Avenue between Main and Salmon Streets, in Downtown Portland's Plaza Blocks. It features a drinking fountain within a clamshell-shaped canopy and measures approximately 89 x 63 x 31 in. The memorial commemorates the men of Company H of the 2nd Oregon Volunteer Infantry Regiment killed in the Philippines during the Spanish–American War. An inscription on the west side reads:

History

Design selection and unveiling
The memorial was gifted by an auxiliary group of women relatives (mostly mothers) of the men in Company H, who held meetings to organize the effort and raise funds. To select a design, a city competition was announced in January 1914, with $450 appropriated for a fountain "to be executed in bronze and stone"; contestants were required to submit "front and side elevations, section and plan" using "simple monotone wash renderings or pen and ink". On February 13, an auxiliary meeting was held for "all present members and all women who joined at the time of the close of the war or since that time... whether they are members now or not", so final arrangements could be made. Beaver's design was chosen by a committee under city commissioner William L. Brewster on February 17, earning the artist a $50 prize.

The fountain was erected by August 30, and unveiled on September 2. Henrietta White, great-granddaughter of the auxiliary's first president Diana McDonell, unveiled the fountain by removing a flag presented to the company by girls from Portland High School. The program included: a speech by Colonel Charles E. McDonell, a captain in the company who served as chairman of the ceremony and described the history and activities of the auxiliary; a poem written by auxiliary member June McMillan Ordway and read by Josephine Burns Hoben; the drum corps of the Sons of Spanish–American War Veterans; and an opening prayer and closing benediction by Reverend C. E. Cline. Brewster accepted the memorial on behalf of mayor H. Russell Albee and the city, and the program ended with the singing of "America".

Subsequent maintenance
The fountain was surveyed by the Smithsonian Institution's "Save Outdoor Sculpture!" program in 1993.

During Occupy Portland (2011), the fountain was screened off and displayed a sign reading "Please respect this fragile monument". Keith Lachowicz, the Regional Arts & Culture Council's art collections manager, assessed the memorial's condition multiple times during the demonstration, along with the nearby monuments Thompson Elk Fountain (1900), Spanish–American War Soldier's Monument (1906), and The Promised Land (1993). He said the war memorials sustained graffiti, which was removed by veterans within the group of occupiers, and confirmed all the public artworks on the site had received no major damage, as of late November. The screen had to be replaced by the city once after being removed. Lachowicz said of the protesters: "We had some very interesting philosophical debates about war monuments, but they ended up being pretty respectful."

The memorial is part of the City of Portland and Multnomah County Public Art Collection courtesy of the Regional Arts & Culture Council.

Comic
A one-issue comic book version of the series was released by Marvel Comics. It begins with Roger Howard, an investigative journalist, as he looks into the illegal exploitation of Banoi Island's resources. He appeared in the game as a voice, leaving behind tape recordings.

The story begins just as Roger Howard arrives. He explains why he's at the Royal Palms Resort, and then begins to target Kenneth Ballard the Royal Palms' manager. After gaining access to his office, Roger finds detailed files on Xian Mei, Purna, Logan Carter, and Sam B. After going through the files, Roger hears a knock on the door. Before opening it, he tries to explain that he was looking for the bathroom. Unfortunately, after opening the door, he comes face-to-face with a zombie. The story suddenly ends, with Roger's fate unknown. In the video game, various audio logs of Roger are found, with him slowly going insane from being infected. When the survivors reach the prison, they find his last audio log, implying a prison guard had killed him once becoming infected, with the recording found next to (presumably) Roger's corpse.

The audio logs detail his journey. Revealing that he and a group of survivors tried to escape into the jungle, but had crashed. The driver and Roger were attacked by an infected Orangutan, with the driver dying and Roger escaping. Roger makes it to the prison, and states he's making this log for scientists to see the full symptoms of infection, but starts hallucinating about his son.

Film
On September 27, 2011, Lionsgate announced that they acquired rights to develop a film based on the game's announcement trailer. As its portrayal of a family desperately fighting for their lives provided artistic inspiration. The studio was reported to join with Occupant Entertainment (Producer Co.) and Deep Silver (Gaming Co.) with filming set to begin in 2015. As of 2022 no official update has been given.

Novel
A novel based on the events of the first game, and written by Mark Morris was released concurrently with Dead Island in 2011.

title: Down by the River (Milky Chance song)

text:
"Down by the River" is a song by German folk duo Milky Chance. It was released as the second single from their debut studio album, Sadnecessary, on 28 March 2014 through Lichtdicht Records. The song has charted in France, Germany, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. The song was written and produced by the duo themselves. The song also appears on the soundtrack for the association football video game published by EA Sports, FIFA 15.

Meaning
The meaning behind the song, as explained by Clemens in a track by track commentary, is literally about a river; the Fulda, to be exact. The song was written based on a "Experiences I (Clemens) had down by the river." He does not like to explain the story behind it because when he's writing a song, he prefers to "draw a picture" of it, so that everybody can make their own story for it.

title: Wastella, Texas

text:
Wastella is a ghost town in northwestern Nolan County, Texas, United States.  It is located at the intersection of U.S. Highway 84 and Farm to Market Road 1982, approximately  northwest of Roscoe.  It lies within the physiographic region known as the Rolling Plains, to the southeast of the high plains of the Llano Estacado.

History
Wastella was platted eight miles northwest of Roscoe on land provided by Will Neeley when the Roscoe, Snyder and Pacific Railway was constructed in 1908.  Neely named the town site for his eldest daughter, Wastella.

Wastella grew slowly and was never very large, but at one time it had a few stores, a hotel, a school, and a post office that opened in 1907.  Despite its key location along the Roscoe, Snyder and Pacific Railway, Wastella suffered from its close proximity to more significant towns such as Snyder, Roscoe, and Hermleigh.  The post office closed in the early 1930s. In 1980 and 1990, the population was 13, and the population dropped to only four in 2000.

title: Threema

text:
Threema is a paid cross-platform encrypted instant messaging app developed by Threema GmbH in Switzerland and launched in 2012. The service operates on a decentralized architecture and offers end-to-end encryption. Users can make voice and video calls, send photos, files, and voice notes, share locations, and make groups. Unlike many other popular secure messaging apps, Threema does not require phone numbers or email address for registration, only a one-time purchase. Threema is available on iOS and Android and has clients for Windows, macOS, Linux, and can be accessed via web browser but requires a mobile app to function.

Features

The service claims to be based on the privacy by design principles by not requiring a phone number or other personally identifiable information. This helps anonymize the users to a degree.

Threema uses a user ID, created after the initial app launch by a random generator, instead of requiring a linked email address or phone number to send messages. It is possible to find other users by phone number or email address if the user allows the app to synchronize their address book. Linking a phone number or email address to a Threema ID is optional. Hence, the service can be used anonymously. Users can verify the identity of their Threema contacts by scanning their QR code when they meet physically. The QR code contains the public key of the user, which is cryptographically tied to the ID and will not change during the lifetime of the identity. Using this strong authentication feature, users can make sure they have the correct public key from their chat partners, which provides additional security against a Man-in-the-middle attack. Threema knows three levels of authentication (trust levels of the contact's identity). The verification level of each contact is displayed in the Threema application as dots next to the corresponding contact.

In addition to text messaging, users can make voice and video calls, send multimedia, locations, voice messages, and files. A web app version, Threema Web, can be used on desktop devices, but only as long as the phone with the Threema installation of the user is online.

In addition to one-on-one chats, Threema offers group chats up to 256 people. Users can make voice and video calls, send text and voice messages, multimedia, locations, and files of any type (up to 50 MB per file). It is also possible to create polls in personal or group chats.

Software

Threema is developed by the Swiss company Threema GmbH. The servers are in Switzerland and the development is based in Pfäffikon SZ. As of May 2021, Threema had 10 million users and the business version, Threema Work, was used by 2 million users across 5,000 companies and organizations.

At the end of July, 2021 Threema introduced the ability for companies to host the messenger on their own server, primarily intended for companies with significantly high privacy concerns.

Clients

With Threema Web, a client for web browsers, Threema can be used from other devices like desktop computers, though only as long as the original device is online.

Threema optionally supports Android Wear smartwatch and Android Auto. Threema launched support for end-to-end encrypted video calls on August 10, 2020. The calls are person-to-person with group calls unavailable.

The application does not allow the self-deletion of messages after a period defined by the interlocutors.
The application does prevent screenshots in conversations when configured to do so.

Architecture

The entire communication via Threema is end-to-end encrypted. During the initial setup, the application generates a key pair and sends the public key to the server while keeping the private key on the user's device. The application then encrypts all messages and files that are sent to other Threema users with their respective public keys. Once a message is delivered successfully, it is immediately deleted from the servers.

The encryption process used by Threema is based on the open-source library NaCl library. Threema uses asymmetric ECC-based encryption, with 256-bit strength. Threema offers a "Validation Logging" feature that makes it possible to confirm that messages are end-to-end encrypted using the NaCl Networking and Cryptography library. In August 2015, Threema was subjected to an external security audit. Researchers from cnlab confirmed that Threema allows secure end-to-end encryption, and claimed that they were unable to identify any weaknesses in the implementation. Cnlab researchers also confirmed that Threema provides anonymity to its users and handles contacts and other user data as advertised.

History
Threema was founded in December 2012 by Manuel Kasper. The company was initially called Kasper Systems GmbH. Martin Blatter and Silvan Engeler were later recruited to develop an Android application that was released in early 2013.

In Summer 2013, the Snowden leaks helped create an interest in Threema, boosting the user numbers to the hundreds of thousands. When Facebook took over WhatsApp in February 2014, Threema got 200,000 new users, doubling its userbase in 24 hours. Around 80% percent of those new users came from Germany. By March 2014 Threema had 1.2 million users.

In Spring 2014, operations were transferred to the newly created Threema GmbH.

In December 2014, Apple listed Threema as the most-sold app of 2014 at the German App Store.

In 2020, Threema expanded with video calls, plans to open-source its client-side apps and introduce reproducible builds of them, as well as introduce Threema Education, a variation of Threema intended for education institutions.

During the second week of 2021, Threema saw a quadrupling of daily downloads spurred on by controversial privacy changes in the WhatsApp messaging service. A spokesperson for the company also confirmed that Threema had risen to the top of the charts for paid applications in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria. This trend continued into the third week of the year, with the head of Marketing & Sales confirming that downloads had increased to ten times the regular amount, leading to "hundreds of thousands of new users each day".

In October 2022, researchers from ETH Zurich reported multiple vulnerabilities affecting Threema's security against network, server and client-based attacks. A new release fixing these issues was released in November 2022 and the vulnerabilities were announced publicly in January 2023.

Threema OnPrem: On July 27, 2021, Threema released Threema OnPrem, a version of the messenger which could be hosted on a company's own servers for maximum security purposes.

Privacy
Since Threema's servers are in Switzerland, they are subject to the Swiss federal law on data protection. The data center is ISO/IEC 27001-certified. Linking a phone number and/or email address to a Threema ID is optional; when doing so, only checksum values (SHA-256 HMAC with a static key) of the email address and/or phone number are sent to the server. Due to the small number of possible digit combinations of a telephone number, the phone number associated with a checksum could be determined by brute force. The transmitted data is TLS-secured. The address book data is kept only in the volatile memory of the server and is deleted immediately after synchronizing contacts. If a user chooses to link a phone number or email address with their Threema ID, they can remove the phone number or email address at any time. Should a user ever lose their device (and their private key), they can revoke their Threema ID if a revocation password for that ID has been set.

Groups are solely managed on users’ devices and group messages are sent to each recipient as an individual message, encrypted with the respective public key. Thus, group compositions are not directly exposed to the server.

Data (including media files) stored on the users’ devices is encrypted with AES 256. On Android, it can be additionally protected by a passphrase.

Since 2016, Threema GmbH publishes a transparency report where public authority inquiries are disclosed.

On March 9, 2017, Threema was listed in the "Register of organizers of information dissemination in the Internet" operated by the Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology and Mass Media of the Russian Federation.

In a response, a Threema spokesperson publicly stated: "We operate under Swiss law and are neither allowed nor willing to provide any information about our users to foreign authorities."

On April 29, 2021, Threema won a significant case at the Federal Supreme Court of Switzerland against the Swiss Federal Department of Police and Justice, who wished to classify the company as a telecommunications provider. Had they lost the case, Threema would have had a legal requirement to identify users and send information about their users to law enforcement.

Starting January 2022, Swiss Armed Forces suggested that the troops should use Threema instead of WhatsApp, Telegram and Signal, citing Threema being Swiss-based without servers in the United States and thus not subject to the CLOUD Act, also promising that soldiers would be reimbursed for the cost.

Reception
In February 2014, German consumer organisation Stiftung Warentest evaluated several data-protection aspects of Threema, WhatsApp, Telegram, BlackBerry Messenger and Line. It considered the security of the data transmission between clients, the services' terms of use, the transparency of the service providers, the availability of the source code, and the apps' overall availability. Threema was the only app rated as 'non-critical' () in relation to data and privacy protection, but lost marks due to its closed-source nature, though this has changed for its frontend clients since the end of 2020.

Along with Cryptocat and Surespot, Threema was ranked first in a study evaluating the security and usability of instant messaging encryption software, conducted by the German PSW Group in June 2014.

, Threema had a score of 6 out of 7 points on the – now withdrawn and outdated – Electronic Frontier Foundation's "Secure Messaging Scorecard". It received points for having communications encrypted in transit, having communications encrypted with keys the provider doesn't have access to (i.e. having end-to-end encryption), making it possible for users to independently verify their correspondent's identities, having past communications secure if the keys are stolen (i.e. implementing forward secrecy), having its security design well-documented and having completed an independent security audit. It lost a point because its source code was not open to independent review (i.e. it was not open-source, though in late 2020 its frontend apps were open-sourced, leaving only its server component proprietary).

title: Asphodelus aestivus

text:
Asphodelus aestivus, the summer asphodel, is a species of asphodel, a common Western Mediterranean geophyte with a short vertical rhizome and basal leaves. Its flowers are actinomorphic, pinkish-white, with six perianth segments, 14–19 mm long and six stamens of the same length, in two whorls. Its distribution is limited to the Western Mediterranean, mainly found in Portugal and Spain on the European mainland. There has been a lot of confusion over the nomenclature and taxonomy of the species, owing to its similarity to Asphodelus ramosus. It grows in dry grasslands, phrygana and on rocky or sandy ground.

Physical characteristics
The Asphodelus aestivus is a geophyte, having an underground storage organ which enables the plant to survive adverse conditions, such as excessive heat and drought. Its leaves, growing to a height of –, contain alkaloids that are harmful to sheep and goats in the wet, winter months, but during the summer when their leaves dry out, they lose their toxicity.
In the Iberian Peninsula it flowers from June to September, although in the Algarve (SW Portugal) it may flower in May or at the end of April. There,  the leaves are already withered by the time the plants flower.

Uses
Some traditional folk usages of the plant (could refer to several species of Asphodelus) have been to make a glue from the plant's root. Serish is the name for the adhesive made from the root and used in Persian & Iranian papermaking and bookbinding, in particular as a surface size and to laminate paper together for the boards of Persian lacquer bindings. A remedy against warts is also derived from its root. According to Dioscorides, a concoction made from its roots (mixed with wine) induces vomiting. Formerly, the entire plant was used in treating poisonous snake bites (its efficacy yet to be proven scientifically).

title: Kentucky Flat, California

text:
Kentucky Flat is a former settlement in Nevada County, California. Dating to 1850, it was first mined by settlers from the U.S. state of Kentucky. Several valuable quartz leads were discovered in the area, and the diggings were worked with significant profit. In that year, it was considered to be a settlement of importance, crowded with miners, along with Rich Flat, Randolph Flat, Texas Flat, Newtown, Bridgeport, Indian Flat, Anthony House, Gass Flat, and Lander's Bar. The Kentucky Flat Schoolhouse might be the "oldest continuously used one-room schoolhouse in California".

title: Dennis Lind

text:
Dennis Lind (born 3 February 1993 in Roskilde) is a Danish racing driver of Colombian descent who is currently participating in GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup and the British GT Championship. He is the nephew and cousin of Formula One drivers Jan and Kevin Magnussen, respectively. Lind currently competes full-time in the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup for JP Motorsport. He is both European and World Champion of Lamborghini Super Trofeo.

Career
Lind started his racing career by karting, driving in Italy but mainly in Scandinavia, throughout 2006 and 2007. In 2008, he competed in various Formula Ford events; he won the single-round North European Championship, he finished second behind his cousin Kevin Magnussen in the Danish Championship and entered the Benelux Formula Ford Championship. This got him invited to two 2008 British Formula Ford races at Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps. He finished 15th and 21st.

Lind's 2009 season looked much alike the year before; he was first in the Danish, seventh in the North European and sixteenth in the Benelux Championship. This got him invited to the annual Formula Ford Festival. He finished fourteenth. In 2010, Lind entered the full season of British Formula Ford and finished fifteenth. He won the Formula Ford Festival.

In 2011, Lind entered only half the races of the 2011 ADAC Formel Masters season, but still finished tenth. He also finished sixth and eighth in the last weekend of the German F3 during the same year. He then competed in the Auto-G Danish Thundersport Championship (which is essentially Danish Touring Cars), coming second just behind his uncle Jan Magnussen in 2012 and then became DTC Champion of 2013.
2014 saw Lind's return to formula racing where he took part in the Formula Acceleration 1. He also drove for AF Corse during the first weekend of the ELMS at Silverstone.

In 2015 Dennis competed in the Danish Thundersport Championship finishing 2nd in the standings after mechanical issues spoiled his season finale. In 2016 saw Dennis attempt to drive in both DTC and Lamborghini Super Trofeo but after a few rounds it became nonviable and his sole focus was on the Super Trofeo season due to its international reputation and appeal. During the season Dennis became part of the Lamborghini Squadra Corse Young Driver Program and on December the 4th 2016 became double champion of Super Trofeo in both European and World championships at the final round in Valencia.

In 2017 Dennis contested occasional races in Lamborghini Super Trofeo as well as a 3 race-long debut in the Blancpain GT Europe Endurance series.

2018 saw Lind take part in the Blancpain GT Asia series, with Martin Kodrić sharing driving duties. They finished as champions.

2019 was a bitter-sweet season for Lind he played a big part in FFF Orange1 Racing Team's and Lamborghini's successful factory effort at securing the Blancpain GT Europe Endurance championship but due to serious illness, Lind had to sit out the final round of the season and therefore couldn't be scored as a champion.

In 2022 Lind continued racing GT3 machineries, signing a contract with JP Motorsport and driving in GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup.

Lamborghini Super Trofeo
In 2016 Dennis had the opportunity to drive for Italian team Raton Racing in the 2016 Lamborghini Super Trofeo season. Pre-Season testing went very well and his drive for the entire championship as a solo driver in the PRO category was confirmed. The season started very well with Lind taking the win at the first round in Monza but was hampered by a brake issue in the second race which removed all chance of a good result. The second round at Silverstone looked to be an improvement on the first round at Monza, with Lind taking the first race convincingly controlling his lead from start to finish but in race two lapped traffic caused an incident and caused Dennis to spin losing the lead and subsequent positions to finish 8th in class.

The third round at Paul Ricard was arguably Dennis Lind's best performance during the European championship. He endured a strong challenge in both races from closest rival Vito Postiglione but went on to win both races despite the pressure. Round 4 at Spa proved to be relatively difficult with Lind only managing to find a 7th and 2nd place. Round 5 was even worse with 10th place in the first race and only 3rd in the second race. Lind's championship hopes hung in the balance amidst the consistent challenge of Postiglione and late bloomer in the championship, the Latvian driver Haralds Schlegelmilch.

The final round at Valencia which was also host to the World Finals had 4 races installed. Two for the European, Asian and North American championships respectively and the latter 2 races for the main event, the world final.
The first race of the weekend Dennis won with a fairly small margin to Postiglione. The second race was less convincing from Lind, but nevertheless sealed the European Championship with a 5th position.

The first race of the world finals didn't go in his favour and he was set to finish 3rd but with a few laps remaining Loris Spinelli had a spectacular engine failure thus promoting Lind to second place and Postiglione to 1st. The battle was on for the final round of the season in race two of the world finals when the rain came down, and it came down hard. Lind started 4th but made his way to 2nd within the first few running laps after the race started under safety car. During the first few laps under green flag conditions, Postiglione lost touch from the lead pair of Lind and Spinelli and then subsequently dropped further back to 6th place and then had a spin, Lind knew that the 2nd place he currently would be good enough to take the world title but it would not prove so easy. The race went on and the rain got even harder, with standing water all around the track. During the majority of the race Vito Postiglione had a storming drive after his mistake and fought his way back to second behind Haralds Schlegelmilch.

Due to the amount of standing water at Turn 9 both Schlegelmilch and Postiglione were caught out but it was Vito Postiglione that capitalized on it and got himself back into 3rd place and therefore was in the driving seat for the world title. The Raton Racing team notified Lind of the championship situation via pit-to-car radio and as such, Dennis knew he had to attack for 1st place in these treacherous conditions to take his destiny into his own hands, he had no other choice. In what would prove to be the final few moments of the race Dennis skillfully passed Spinelli for the race lead and the win and sealed a fantastic season off with both World and European Lamborghini Super Trofeo championships.
