Modern Data Platforms
Modern Cloud Infrastructure
We are very pleased about your interest in our company. Data protection is of a particularly high priority for Trivadis. The use of the Trivadis website is possible without any indication of personal data. However, if a data subject wants to use special services of our enterprise via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject shall always be in line with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to the Trivadis. By means of this data protection declaration, our company would like to inform the public about the nature, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights by means of this data protection declaration.
As the controller, Trivadis AG has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can always be subject to security vulnerabilities, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.
For more information, visit https://www.trivadis.com/de/agb.
The data protection declaration of Trivadis is based on the terms used by the European Directive and Ordinance when issuing the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our data protection declaration should be easy to read and understand for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.
We use the following terms, among others, in this Privacy Policy:
a) Personal dataPersonal
data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter "data subject"). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
b) Data subjectData subject
is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data are processed by the controller.
Processing means any operation or set of operations which is performed upon personal data, whether or not by automatic means, such as collection, recording, organization, filing, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
d) Restriction of processingRestriction of
processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their future processing.
Profiling is any type of automated processing of personal data that consists of using such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects relating to that natural person's job performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location or change of location.
f) Pseudonymization
Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separate and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
g) Controller or data controller
The controller or person responsible for processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its designation may be provided for under Union or Member State law.
A processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
Recipient means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to whom personal data are disclosed, whether or not a third party. However, public authorities that may receive personal data in the context of a specific investigative task under Union or Member State law shall not be considered as recipients.
Third party means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons authorized to process the personal data under the direct responsibility of the controller or the processor.
Consent shall mean any freely given indication of the data subject's wishes for the specific case in an informed and unambiguous manner, in the form of a statement or any other unambiguous affirmative act, by which the data subject indicates that he or she consents to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.
2. Name and address of the controller and the data protection officer
The responsible party within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation and the Swiss Data Protection Act, other data protection laws applicable in the Member States of the European Union and other provisions of a data protection nature is:
Trivadis AG
Tel +41-58-459 55 55
info@trivadis.com
Website: www.trivadis.com
Rolf-Dieter Kargl
Email dsb@trivadis.com
Any data subject may contact our data protection officer directly at any time with any questions or suggestions regarding data protection.
Art. 6 I lit. a GDPR serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. This is the case for marketing measures.
If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Article 6 I lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services.
If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which the processing of personal data becomes necessary, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR.
In rare cases, the processing of personal data might become necessary to protect vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were to be injured on our premises and as a result his or her name, age, health insurance data or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6 I lit. d GDPR.
Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f GDPR. Processing operations which are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary for the protection of a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject are not overridden. If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 (I) (f) GDPR, the controller sees the implementation as its legitimate interest. Here, action is taken for the benefit of the business, the welfare of all our employees and shareholders.
Collection of general data and information
The website of Trivadis AG collects a series of general data and information each time a data subject or automated system accesses the website. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The following data may be collected: (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system accesses our website (so-called referrer), (4) the sub-websites that are accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information that serve to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When using these general data and information, Trivadis AG does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed (1) to deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) to optimize the content of our website, (3) to ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack. This anonymously collected data and information is therefore evaluated by Trivadis AG on one hand, statistically and on the other hand, with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company, and ultimately ensuring an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from any personal data provided by a data subject.
Registration on our website for a webinar
The data subject has the opportunity to register for webcasts (TriCasts) on the website of the controller by providing personal data. Which personal data - and for which purposes - are transmitted to the controller in the process, results from the respective input mask used for the registration. The personal data entered by the data subject is collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the controller and for its own purposes. The controller uses the order processor LogMeIn with the product GoToWebinar to provide the TriCast and thereby transmits the surname, first name and e-mail address to it. Furthermore, the registrations are recorded at the order processor LogMeIn.
LogMeIn is a software company from the USA with a branch office in Ireland.
LogMeIn Ireland Limited
Bloodstone Building Block C70
Sir John Rogerson's Quay
2, Ireland,
For more information about LogMeIn's privacy policy, please visit: https://www.logmeininc.com/legal/privacy
By registering on the website of the controller, the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) of the data subject, the date and the time of registration are also stored. The storage of this data takes place against the background that only in this way can the misuse of our services be prevented and, if necessary, this data makes it possible to clarify committed crimes. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary for the protection of the data controller. As a matter of principle, this data is not passed on to third parties unless there is a legal obligation to pass it on or the passing on serves the purpose of criminal prosecution.
The registration of the data subject by voluntarily providing personal data serves the purpose of the controller to offer the data subject content or services which, due to the nature of the matter, can only be offered to registered users. Registered persons are free to modify the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have it completely deleted from the data stock of the controller.
The controller shall provide any data subject at any time, upon request, with information about what personal data is stored about the data subject. Furthermore, the controller shall correct or delete personal data at the request or indication of the data subject, provided that this does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations. The entire staff of the controller shall be available to the data subject as contact persons in this context.
Contact possibility via the website through chat or contact form.
The Trivadis AG website provides the option of using a website chat or a contact form to contact the person responsible directly with the aim of providing the person concerned with advice on products and services as quickly as possible. The chat tool Userlike enables us to communicate directly with visitors to our website.
Privacy policy: https://www.userlike.com/de/terms#privacy-policy
By using the website chat on the website of the controller, the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) of the data subject, the date and the time are also stored. The storage of this data takes place against the background that only in this way can the misuse of our services be prevented and, if necessary, this data makes it possible to clarify crimes that have been committed. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary for the protection of the data controller. As a matter of principle, this data will not be disclosed to third parties, unless there is a legal obligation to disclose it or the disclosure serves law enforcement purposes.
The controller shall provide any data subject at any time upon request with information about what personal data is stored about the
data subject. Furthermore, the controller shall correct or delete personal data at the request or indication of the data subject, provided that this does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations. The entire staff of the controller shall be available to the data subject as contact persons in this context.
Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) a GDPR (consent)
Webshop for ordering trainings
Trivadis AG offers data subjects the opportunity to order training courses on the website of the controller by providing personal data. Which personal data is transmitted to the controller in the process is indicated in the respective input mask. The personal data entered by the data subject is collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the controller for its own purposes.
Those data that are absolutely necessary for delivery or order processing will be passed on to third party service providers. As soon as the storage of your data is no longer necessary or required by law, it will be deleted.
Routine deletion and blocking of personal data
The criterion for the duration of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. If no retention periods apply, the respective deletion periods defined by the responsible party apply. After expiry of the period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided that it is no longer required for the fulfillment or initiation of the contract or for any other purpose.
Data protection during applications and the application process
The controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application procedure. The processing may also take place electronically. This is the case, in particular, when an applicant submits relevant application documents to the controller by electronic means, for example, by e-mail or via a web form located on the website. If the controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If the controller does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be deleted six months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests or contractual obligations vis-à-vis employment agencies of the controller prevent deletion. Other legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a duty to provide evidence in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG). Other contractual obligations in this sense is, for example, the right of recourse of a recruitment agency, which is why an application is deleted twelve months after notification of the rejection decision.
For the purpose of an optimal and fast application process, we record all information in the application management system Umantis - Talentmanager from Haufe-Lexware GmbH.
Haufe-Lexware GmbH is a software company based in Germany.
Haufe-Lexware GmbH & Co KG
Munzinger Straße 97
9111 Freiburg
Telephone: 0800 50 50 445.
Trivadis AG uses location determination to offer the person concerned nearby vacancies on its website, thus making the search easier. The location is actively requested from the user by means of a pop-up in the user's web browser. The person concerned therefore actively agrees to the location determination. A tracking method is used to determine the location, which uses the public IP address of the person concerned and thus allows conclusions to be drawn about a specific region.
The Trivadis website uses cookies. Cookies are text files which are filed and stored on a computer system via an Internet browser.
Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters by which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the visited Internet pages and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.
Through the use of cookies, the Trivadis can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.
By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized in the sense of the user. Cookies allow us, as already mentioned, to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter his or her data to register for a download each time he or she visits the website, because this is handled by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in the online store. The online store remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.
Technical cookies ensure functions without which you cannot use our websites as intended. These cookies are used exclusively by us and are therefore first party cookies. This means that all information stored in the cookies is returned to our website.
Technical cookies are used, for example, to ensure that you, as a logged-in user, always remain logged in when accessing various subpages of our website and thus do not have to re-enter your login data each time you call up a new page.
The use of technical cookies on our website is possible without your consent. For this reason, technical cookies cannot be individually disabled or enabled.
Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) f GDPR (legitimate interest)
Analytics cookies allow us to analyze user behavior based in part on personal information to understand how visitors interact with the website.
Third-party cookies are integrated on the websites of Trivadis AG, which provide their services on their own responsibility. For example, Google, Facebook, Linkedin.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of an appropriate setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.
Use of external tools
a) Facebook Pixel
We use the Facebook Custom Audience Pixel to optimize our advertising on Facebook. The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc. 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. If an individual lives outside the United States or Canada, the controller is Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland. We use Custom Audience Pixel, a service provided by Facebook Inc. that allows us to show personalized ads to people who visit our website while they are logged into Facebook. To do this, we have added Facebook's Pixel Code snippet to the header of our website, which links to Facebook's servers and tells Facebook that you have visited our website. Facebook adds this information to your FB account.
Information on the collection, processing and use of personal data by Facebook is provided in the privacy policy published by Facebook, which can be accessed at www.facebook.com/about/privacy. It also explains which setting options Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. In addition, various configuration options are available to prevent data transmission to Facebook. These applications can be used by the data subject to prevent data transfer to Facebook.
Further information and the applicable privacy policy of Facebook Pixel can be found at www.facebook.com/about/privacy. The data policy published by Facebook, which is available at https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by Facebook. It also explains which setting options Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. In addition, various applications are available that make it possible to suppress data transmission to Facebook. Such applications can be used by the data subject to suppress data transmission to Facebook.
b) Google Analytics (with anonymization function)
The controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymization function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analysis service. Web analysis is the collection, compilation and analysis of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects, among other things, data on which website a data subject came to a website from (so-called referrers), which subpages of the website were accessed or how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. A web analysis is predominantly used for the optimization of a website and for the cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising.
The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
The controller uses the addition "_gat._anonymizeIp" for web analysis via Google Analytics. By means of this addition, the IP address of the Internet connection of the data subject is shortened and anonymized by Google if access to our Internet pages takes place from a member state of the European Union or from another state party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the flow of visitors to our website. Google uses the data and information obtained, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us showing the activities on our website, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.
Google Analytics sets a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. By each call of one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically caused by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. As part of this technical process, Google obtains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which Google uses, among other things, to track the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently enable commission calculations.
By means of the cookie, personal information, for example the access time, the location from which an access originated and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject, is stored. Each time the data subject visits our website, this personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical procedure to third parties.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as already described above, at any time by means of an appropriate setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.
Furthermore, the data subject has the option to object to the collection of data generated by Google Analytics and related to the use of this website as well as to the processing of this data by Google and to prevent such processing. For this purpose, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information regarding visits to Internet pages may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered by Google as an objection. If the information technology system of the data subject is deleted, formatted or reinstalled at a later point in time, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on in order to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or another person within the data subject's sphere of control, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.
Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. Google Analytics is explained in more detail under this link https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.
c) Google Ads Remarketing
The controller has integrated Google Ads on this website. Google AdWords is an Internet advertising service that allows advertisers to place ads both in Google's search engine results and in the Google advertising network. Google Ads allows an advertiser to specify certain keywords in advance, by means of which an ad is displayed in Google's search engine results exclusively when the user retrieves a keyword-relevant search result using the search engine. In the Google advertising network, the ads are distributed to topic-relevant websites by means of an automatic algorithm and in compliance with the previously defined keywords.
The operating company of the Google Ads services is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
The purpose of Google AdWords is to advertise our website by displaying interest-relevant advertising on the websites of third-party companies and in the search engine results of the Google search engine.
If a data subject accesses our website via a Google ad, a so-called conversion cookie is stored by Google on the data subject's information technology system. What cookies are has already been explained above. A conversion cookie loses its validity after thirty days and is not used to identify the data subject. The conversion cookie is used to track whether certain subpages, for example the shopping cart from an online store system, have been called up on our website, provided the cookie has not yet expired. Through the conversion cookie, both we and Google can track whether a data subject who has accessed our website via an Ads ad has generated a sale, i.e. has completed or cancelled a purchase of goods.
The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie are used by Google to create visit statistics for our website. These visit statistics are in turn used by us to determine the total number of users who were referred to us via Ads ads, i.e. to determine the success or failure of the respective AdWords ad and to optimize our Ads ads for the future. Neither our company nor other advertisers of Google Ads receive information from Google by means of which the data subject could be identified.
By means of the conversion cookie, personal information, for example the internet pages visited by the data subject, is stored. Each time the data subject visits our website, personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical procedure to third parties.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as already described above, at any time by means of an appropriate setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a conversion cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Ads can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.
Furthermore, the data subject has the option to object to interest-based advertising by Google. To do this, the data subject must call up the link www.google.de/settings/ads from any of the internet browsers he or she uses and make the desired settings there.
Further information and the applicable Google privacy policy can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.
d) Spotify
We use the streaming service to make our podcast "Cat!apult" available to you in the online magazine.
Privacy policy: https://www.spotify.com/ch-de/legal/privacy-policy/
e) Userlike chat
The chat tool Userlike allows us to communicate directly with the visitors of our website.
f) Involved
We have included the quiz tool in the magazine for the format Q & A - the Game.
Privacy policy: https://www.involve.me/privacy/
g) GoogleMaps
We have integrated the online map service to show you our office locations as well as locations for events.
Privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de
h) Youtube
The controller has integrated YouTube components on this website. YouTube is an Internet video portal that allows video publishers to post video clips free of charge and other users to view, rate and comment on them, also free of charge. YouTube allows the publication of all types of videos, which is why complete film and television programs, but also music videos, trailers or videos made by users themselves can be accessed via the Internet portal.
The operating company of YouTube is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
By each call of one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a YouTube component (YouTube video) has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically caused by the respective YouTube component to download a representation of the corresponding YouTube component from YouTube. Further information on YouTube can be found at https://www.youtube.com/yt/about/de/. Within the scope of this technical procedure, YouTube and Google receive knowledge of which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is logged into YouTube at the same time, YouTube recognizes which specific sub-page of our website the data subject is visiting when a sub-page containing a YouTube video is called up. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to the respective YouTube account of the data subject.
YouTube and Google always receive information via the YouTube component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged into YouTube at the same time as calling up our website; this takes place regardless of whether the data subject clicks on a YouTube video or not. If the data subject does not want this information to be transmitted to YouTube and Google, he or she can prevent the transmission by logging out of his or her YouTube account before accessing our website.
The privacy policy published by YouTube, which is available at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/, provides information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by YouTube and Google.
i) Google TagManager
This website uses Google Tag Manager. Google Tag Manager is a solution that allows marketers to manage website tags through one interface. The tool itself (which implements the tags) is a cookie-less domain and does not store any personal data. The tool takes care of triggering other tags, which in turn may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If a deactivation has been made at the domain or cookie level, it remains in place for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.
Recipients: Information from the third-party provider: Google Dublin, Google Ireland Ltd, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. So-called standard contractual clauses pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR have been concluded with this service provider as suitable guarantees. Further information can be found here: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/data-transfers-outside-eu_de
j) Buzzsprout
This is a podcast hosting service that we use to make our podcast "Cat!apult" available in the online magazine.
Privacy policy: https://www.buzzsprout.com/privacy
k) Hubspot

For more information about the cookies used by HubSpot, please visit: https://knowledge.hubspot.com/articles/kcs_article/reports/what-cookies-does-hubspot-set-in-a-visitor-s-browser & https://knowledge.hubspot.com/articles/kcs_article/account/hubspot-cookie-security-and-privacy
a. Registration on our website for an event
The data subject has the opportunity to register on the website of the controller by providing personal data. Which personal data is transmitted to the controller and its processor Hubspot in the process results from the respective input mask used for the registration. The personal data entered by the data subject is collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the controller for its own purposes. The controller may arrange for the data to be transferred to one or more processors, for example a parcel service provider or a call center, which will also use the personal data exclusively for an internal use attributable to the controller.
b. Subscription to our newsletter
On the website of the Trivadis AG, data subjects are given the opportunity to subscribe to our enterprise's newsletter. The personal data transmitted to the controller and to the order processor Hubspot when the newsletter is ordered is specified in the input mask used for this purpose.
Trivadis AG informs its customers and business partners at regular intervals by means of a newsletter about offers of the company. In principle, the newsletter of our company can only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid e-mail address and (2) the data subject registers for the newsletter mailing. For legal reasons, a confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address entered by a data subject for the first time for newsletter dispatch using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation e-mail serves to verify whether the owner of the e-mail address as the data subject has authorized the receipt of the newsletter.
When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address of the computer system used by the data subject at the time of registration, as assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP), as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace the (possible) misuse of the e-mail address of a data subject at a later point in time and therefore serves the legal safeguarding of the controller.
c. Newsletter tracking
The newsletters of Trivadis AG contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in such emails that are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and log file analysis. This enables a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, the Trivadis AG may see if and when an e-mail was opened by a data subject, and which links contained in the e-mail were called up by the data subject.

Bible Cities: Crete
Ancient Crete or Caphtor
Crete in Easton's Bible Dictionary now called Candia, one of the largest islands in the Meditterranean, about 140 miles long and 35 broad. It was at one time a very prosperous and populous island, having a "hundred cities." The character of the people is described in Paul's quotation from "one of their own poets" (Epimenides) in his epistle to Titus: "The Cretans are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies" (Titus 1:12). Jews from Crete were in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2:11). The island was visited by Paul on his voyage to Rome (Acts 27). Here Paul subsequently left Titus (1:5) "to ordain elders." Some have supposed that it was the original home of the Caphtorim (q.v.) or Philistines.
https://www.bible-history.com/eastons/C/Crete/
Crete in Fausset's Bible Dictionary Crete, now Candia. 158 miles long, from cape Salmone on the E. (Acts 27:7; Acts 27:12) to cape Criumetopen on the W. beyond Phoenice. Its breadth is small. (On its connection with the frontCHERETHIM.) It abounded with Jews in the apostolic age; hence, "Cretans" were among the witnesses of the effusion of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost (Acts 2:11). Paul's ship was constrained by contrary winds off Cnidus to sail under the lee of Crete "over against Salmone"; having passed which with difficulty the ship reached FAIR HAVENS, near Lasea. Thence it made for Phoenice to winter there, but was driven by a sudden gale from the N.E., sweeping down from the region of mount Ida, to the island Clauda, from whence it drifted to Melita or Malta (Acts 27:13-16). Paul visited Crete between his first and second imprisonment at Rome, and left Titus to "set in order the things wanting, and to ordain elders in every city" (Titus 1:5). (See TITUS.) In Titus 1:12 he quotes Epimenides a Cretan poet. Crete was without wild beasts; the poet's sarcasm was that beastly men supplied their place: "the Cretians are always (not merely at times, as all natural men are) liars, evil beasts, slow bellies." "To Cretanize" was proverbial for to lie, as "to Corinthianize" for to be dissolute. In Crete was the fabled birthplace of Jupiter, king of the gods. They themselves are called "bellies," since it is for their bellies they live (Philemon 3:19). Christianity won its triumphs for truth and holiness even in such an unpromising soil. In the middle ages the cathedral of Megalocastron was dedicated to Titus.

Crete in Naves Topical Bible (An island in the Mediterranean Sea) -Visited by Paul Ac 27:7,12,13,21 -Visited by Titus Tit 1:5 -Character of the inhabitants of Ac 2:11; Tit 1:12
https://www.bible-history.com/naves/C/CRETE/
Crete in Smiths Bible Dictionary the modern Candia. This large island, which closes int he Greek Archipelago on the south, extends through a distance of 140 miles between its extreme points. Though exceedingly bold and mountainous, this island has very fruitful valleys, and in early times it was celebrated for its hundred cities. It seems likely that a very early acquaintances existed between the Cretans and the Jews. Cretans, Ac 2:11 were among those who were at Jerusalem at the great Pentecost. In [Acts 27:7-12 we have an account of Paul's shipwreck near this island; and it is evident from Tit 1:5 that the apostle himself was here at no long interval of time before he wrote the letter. The Cretans were proverbial liars. Tit 1:12
https://www.bible-history.com/smiths/C/Crete/
Crete in the Bible Encyclopedia - ISBE kret (Krete, ethnic Kretes, Acts 2:11; Tit 1:12): An island bounding the Aegean Sea on the South. It stretches from 34 degrees 50' to 35 degrees 40' North latitude and from 23 degrees 30' to 26 degrees 20' East long. With Cythera on the North and Carpathos and Rhodos on the Northeast, it forms a continuous bridge between Greece and Asia Minor. The center of the island is formed by a mountain chain rising to a height of 8,193 ft. in Mt. Ida, and fringed with low valleys beside the coast. There are no considerable rivers; the largest, the Metropole, on the South, is a tiny stream, fordable anywhere. An island of considerable extent (156 miles long, and from 7 to 30 miles broad), in several districts very fertile and possessing one or two good harbors, it seems marked out by its position for an important role in the history of the eastern Mediterranean. But never since an age which was already legendary when Greek history began has Crete occupied a dominating position among the powers of the surrounding continents. Internal dissensions, due in ancient times to the diversity of races inhabiting its soil (Eteocretans--the original inhabitants-- Pelasgians, Acheans, Cydonians and Dorians), and in modern times to the fact that a large minority of the population has accepted the Ottoman religion along with Ottoman government, have kept Crete in a position of political inferiority throughout the historical period. 1. Early History: Mt. Ida in Crete was famous in Greek legend as the birthplace of Zeus. The half-legendary, half-historical King Minos was said to be the son of Zeus, and to have derived from his father the wisdom to which, by a type of myth common in Greek lands, the constitution of the Cretan cities was ascribed. Minos was accepted as a historical personage by Thucydides and Aristotle, who say that he was the first dynast in Greece to establish dominion on the sea. One of his exploits was the suppression of piracy in Cretan waters, a feat which had to be repeated by the Roman Pompeius at a later period. Aristotle compares the Cretan institutions with those of Sparta; the island was said to have been colonized by Dorians from Peloponnesus (Politics ii.10). The most important cities in Crete were Knossos (whose palace has been excavated with fruitful results by Mr. Arthur Evans), Gortyna, near the Gulf of Messara, and Cydonia, with its river Iardanus. The excavations of Mr. Evans at Knossos and of the Italians at Phastos (near Fair Havens) prove that Crete was a center of Mediterranean civilization in an early age. In the Homeric poems, Crete is said to have contained an hundred cities; at that period the Cretans were still famed as daring sailors. In the classical age of Greek history they never held a leading position. They are mentioned chiefly as traders and mercenary soldiers, skilled especially in archery. During the Hellenistic period Crete remained free. Demetrius Nicator made the island his base of operations before his defeat at Azotus in 148. 2.

50 Years of Passion for NDSU
The Heritage Award recognizes alumni who have provided outstanding volunteer service for the benefit of NDSU.
Story by Nicole Thom-Arens | September 16, 2021
Southeast of Bloomington, Minnesota, nestled in a wooded area — classically Minnesotan — sat the home of Barb (Crahan) '70 and Mike '69 Jones. It was a home they built together on the land they've owned since 1979. They immediately radiate a comfort, candor, and fun-loving humor nurtured for more than 50 years. While they are both pharmacy graduates from NDSU, they didn't meet until Barb's internship at Keller Drug, part of the Snyder Drug company, on Bloomington Avenue and Lake Street.
"Snyder Drug, at that time, filled all of its internships with NDSU grads because they knew we worked hard and were reliable," Barb recalled. "I waited and waited until one store was left to make my commitment to come down to Minnesota. Mike was a pharmacist there. I walked in and met him, and a year later we were married!"
Early in their relationship, Barb would escape down to the lower level of Keller Drug, where the merchandise was delivered and the women's restroom was located, to work on a project, a sweater for Mike, knitted in green and yellow — Bison colors, of course.
"Which I still have," Mike said.
"He wears it at Christmas — it has holes in it!" Barb added, and they both laughed.
Mike was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, and grew up in Bemidji, Minnesota, where he first attended college and majored in business and chemistry. He, along with three others, transferred to NDSU's pharmacy school. Growing up, Mike remembers how easy it was to visit with the pharmacists at the independent pharmacies in Bemidji.
"You could talk to them easily and find out more about pharmacy," Mike said. "Having access to the small pharmacies — the local drug stores — helped me decide."
Barb, a native Fargonian — born and raised — wanted a career but didn't want to go the traditional route. She was one of 10 women in the pharmacy program of about 110 at the time.
"We were the early trendsetters in a mostly male profession," Barb said. "I knew that I would come out with a strong education with an ability to have a job — a good profession, a lifelong profession. I knew pharmacy would be able to provide for me. I wasn't thinking I'd get married or anything; I just wanted to have a career, and I felt a career in pharmacy was a really strong avenue for me to pursue."
Barb lived at home and joined Kappa Delta sorority, and she's kept her strong affinity to NDSU all these years.
"She hasn't missed one Homecoming since we graduated," Mike said. "I missed one, but she's forgiven me. Even during COVID, we tuned into Bison Bidders Bowl virtually."
"If you're able to give back and see how other people are giving back, you just get inspired by their stories."
Barb Jones
That passion for their alma mater is part of the reason Barb and Mike are being celebrated as the 2021 Heritage Award recipients at Evening of Distinction. The award recognizes alumni who have provided outstanding volunteer service for the benefit of North Dakota State University. Barb has served as an NDSU Foundation Trustee since 1995, and she and Mike serve as In Our Hands campaign ambassadors.
"Meeting alumni with the same passion for NDSU at different events has been the most enjoyable and heartwarming — you're like a family," Barb said.
The couple's connection to NDSU has remained strong through the Twin Cities alumni group, hearing from NDSU students through the telemarketing program, and serving on the Dean's advisory committee for the College of Health Professions.
"We have three scholarships," Barb said. "We looked at our passions: we both love music, pharmacy was a no-brainer, and we both love golf, so we have scholarships for women's and men's golf, the arts, and pharmacy. Golf came first. I think that's kind of an unsung area — you're a team but you're an individual. It builds character, honesty, integrity."
"It's a sport where you'll call a penalty on yourself," Mike added.
Both Barb and Mike worked throughout college, and they understand students are facing different circumstances today with increased costs.
"When I was in school, I worked at the Elks Club as a bartender," Mike said. "It's nice to give to students so they don't have to worry about how to get the money to get through school."
"I worked at the metabolism lab as a student, so it just helps. It's so competitive for students right now and it's so expensive," Barb added.
Through their volunteering, they've also met fellow alumni who were giving back, and that was inspiring.
"The people that we got to know were all philanthropic — they were generous and were giving, too," Mike said.
"If you're able to give back and you see how other people are giving back, you just get inspired by their stories," Barb said.
While working as pharmacists, the Joneses also launched their own business. Mike, led by his entrepreneurial spirit, started developing products customers were asking for but were not available on the market. The first product he developed was cocoa butter bars. They slowly grew the company, Gallipot, and were eventually manufacturing a number of products. In 2010, a Dutch company, Fagron, purchased Gallipot, which now operates under the Fagron name.
"We had a good division," Barb said. "Mike was the mad scientist and did the regulatory issues and worked with the government and FDA. He had a calm, cool head about him. He was in charge of the manufacturing and production, and I was in charge of the purchasing, receiving, accounting, HR, and front office. It worked out really well because it balanced our strengths."
In 1990, Barb became president of the Minnesota Pharmacists Association — she was only the second woman president in the group's more than 100- year history.
As they reflected on their successes, Mike made a clear connection back to NDSU.
"A lot of those skills, like compounding, we learned from NDSU, so it makes sense to give back what we received."
A love of NDSU was palpable in Barb and Mike as they reminisced about meeting people on vacations with connections to NDSU, running into strangers in the Twin Cities who knew former classmates, meeting young people from Minnesota who attend NDSU today, and recruiting their Arizona neighbors as Bison fans even though they're not alumni. The Joneses epitomize that something special about Bison Nation we often talk about as alumni and friends of the University.

Now we have an instruction manual for resurrecting the extinct Tasmanian Tiger
We're about to play the ultimate genetic Uno reverse card.
By Cassidy Ward
Photo: Corey Ford/Stocktrek Images/Getty Images
Tasmanian tigers, also known as Tasmanian wolves or thylacines, hold a special place in the history of conservation. They were the only member of their family, thylacinidae, which made it to modern times. They were strange looking animals, an amalgamation of features from animals we're more familiar with today. They shared some features with wild dogs, though their bodies were comparatively squat, and they had a series of 15 to 20 stripes along their back half. They were also one of the only marsupial species in which both the males and females had pouches.
Evidence suggests the species appeared about 4 million years ago and the last confirmed thylacine died in a zoo on Sept. 7, 1936. That date has been observed as National Threatened Species Day in Australia since 1996. The species wasn't officially recognized as extinct until 1982 and there are unconfirmed sightings of the species, even today. Though, most scientists don't give those reports any credit.
The fate of the Tasmanian tiger can be traced directly back to human interference. A combination of habitat loss and a directed hunting and bounty program resulted in the decline and disappearance of the species. All these years after the last Tasmanian tiger died, we have an opportunity to reverse course and bring them back.
A team of scientists at the University of Melbourne, lead by Professor Andrew Pask, recently received a philanthropic gift of $5 million AUD to be used for the Thylacine Integrated Genetic Restoration Research Lab, TIGRR for short. The goal of the project is to develop a program for the resurrection of the species.
Conversations around the resurrection of extinct species often center on whether or not a population could exist in a world which may no longer resemble the one they used to inhabit. The historical habitat of the Tasmanian tiger has remained largely unchanged, making them a good candidate for de-extinction. To that end, Pask and colleagues have outlined a nine-step process for returning the Tasmanian tiger to its previous niche.
The monetary gift the lab received should fund 10 years of research, which is roughly how long Pask believes it should take, and the program is already off to a good start. The first two steps involve sequencing the thylacine genome and the genomes of its closest living relatives. Those two steps have already been completed. A high-quality thylacine genome was sequenced in 2018, and we've also sequenced the genomes of the fat-tailed dunnart and the marsupial mouse, two of the thylacines closes living relatives.
The genomes of the dunnart and the marsupial mouse will provide a foundation upon which a Tasmanian tiger embryo could be constructed. The next step in the process is comparing the thylacine genome to its living relatives to identify the genes which would need to be edited to make an embryo. From there, scientists will need to get stem cells from model species, at present they are targeting the fat-tailed dunnart for this step.
The next steps involve developing assistive reproductive technologies, essentially nailing down the process of embryo creation and transfer to a living surrogate. The team believes that marsupials have a particular advantage for resurrection, owing to their comparatively short gestation periods.
Anyone familiar with kangaroos knows that joeys are born very early in the development process and spend the remainder of their development in the pouch. Tasmanian tigers had a similar reproductive process, meaning the amount of time the embryo would need to develop inside a surrogate is brief.
The final steps involve developing a process for taking newborns from the surrogate and raising them to independence, probably via bottle feeding away from the surrogate. We may even be able to grow newborns without using a surrogate at all.
The road ahead is long and complex, but advances in de-extinction technologies have become more common in recent years, as evidenced by efforts around the black-footed ferret and the northern white rhino. In the meantime, Pask and colleagues believe these technologies will have benefits for living and threatened species.
We should make every effort to minimize our negative impact on the species which share our planet, but it's nice to know that if all else fails, we might be able to undo our mistakes.

Fracking threatens Saudi national security, prince warns
ABU DHABI — A leading Saudi prince has warned of the threat to the
Gulf Arab kingdom by the emerging U.S. shale industry.
Prince Al Walid Bin Talal warned that Saudi Arabia was being threatened by the growing U.S. shale energy industry.
Al Walid, deemed one of the richest men in the world, urged the Saudi royal family to diversify the kingdom's economy.
"We see that raising North American shale gas production is an inevitable threat," the prince said.
In an appeal to Saudi Oil Minister Ali Al Naimi, Al Walid, a nephew of King Abdullah, said Saudi Arabia was endangered by its "almost total dependence on oil."
The prince, who occasionally expresses positions at odds with the royal family, warned that the United States and other countries were reducing their oil imports from Saudi Arabia and OPEC states.

Aluminium has a reputation for ease of use, strength and durability. In addition to its exceptional aesthetic properties, solid aluminium does not burn. As architects, contractors, consultants and real estate owners look to meet stringent safety requirements in the construction and refurbishment of high-rise constructions for both residential and commercial uses, aluminium cladding provides an alternative that is not only safe but that is also durable and attractive. One of the ways to connect elements into a aluminium construction is welding. friction stir welding is one of the most efficient. The authors developed a measuring system based on subminiaturized eddy-current transducers aimed at examining locally the defects of welded joints in aluminium-magnesium alloy plates connected by means of friction stir welding. The authors made a modification of the Delyann filter, which allowed them to increase considerably the signal-noise relations. The dependency of the eddy-current transducer response on defects was provided, i.e. concealed cuts and openings inside the welded joint, at the frequencies of 100-10000 Hz of the exciting winding.

NORAD told The Northern View Santa has been approved for take-off and landings in Prince Rupert on Dec. 24-25. Santa concentrates hard when making 'just the right' toy for a child. He leaves his works shop just as it gets dark at the North Pole to deliver on Christmas Eve.
"Spectacular Mayhem" expected at Prince Rupert Winterfest
A weekend of family memory-making to light the season
Snowball fights and lighting the lights will make the night at Winterfest 2022. The much-anticipated festival is back with plenty for Prince Rupert residents to do between Dec. 2 and 4.
The weekend will be packed with magical moments for memory-making, from twinkling light displays to exciting opportunities to see Santa, fireworks and, arguably the most unbelievable of all, a "snowball" fight.
Alex Hogendoorn, president of the Price Rupert Special Events Society, explained that the "snowballs" will be made of small, polyester fluff balls.
"It is so fun and it's mayhem. It's so safe because the snowballs are completely harmless. It's an absolute riot to watch," he said.
Most of the action is happening on Saturday, Dec. 3, starting at 8 a.m. at Breakfast with Santa. Families can buy a hot meal of ham, eggs and pancakes. After their tummies are full they can get their photo with the jolly guy in red by donation.
Later in the evening, people can make their way to the court house where the tree lights will be illuminated at 7 p.m. with the community choir and band lifting spirits in the background.
A delightful children's choir and other musical groups will serenade the crowd.
This is where the snowball fight will take place as well.
Winterfest goers are encouraged to visit both sides of the road with a quick walk to the Mariner's Memorial Park, just in time to watch decorated boats float past during the Prince Rupert Port Authority's SailPast.
Finally, fireworks over the harbour will be the grand finale for the night.
"There won't be a parade because there were so few entrants. We want to make sure if we're putting on an event, it's memorable and it's exciting. If that's not where people are invested, then we want to put on an event that people want to participate in," Hogendoorn said.
However, Santa will be rolling up in a "mini parade" during the tree lighting and there will be opportunities to take a selfie with him, he said.
Other highlights of the weekend include the SpongeBob Musical produced by Charles Hays Secondary School, the craft fair at the Highliner Hotel, a tree decorating contest for students in Rupert Square Mall, a photo exhibit to raise money for the Ukrainian refugees, a free public skate and a night of vinyl at Wheelhouse Brewing.
"What a way to kick off the season," Hogendoorn said.
The Prince Rupert Special Events Society has been planning the events since September. Hogendoorn said he was pleasantly surprised with how many people are stepping up to volunteer.

We have produced DNA barcodes for Finnish plant taxa. In this study, we specifically report the barcoding success for herbarium materials varying widely in age, also paying attention on success rate variation and genetic distances among different plant families. Additionally, we investigated whether the level of intraspecific variation differs between native and introduced species. The specimens had been collected between years 1867 and 2013. Among all studied specimens, the average success rates for any barcode (matK or rbcL), rbcL, matK and both barcodes equaled 81, 79, 55 and 53%, respectively, and among species (at least one specimen per species barcoded successfully) 95, 95, 74 and 73%, respectively. We found significant age effects on the barcoding success, the greatest decline being visible in over 100-year-old samples. Plant families showed differences in overall success rates and sample age effects, as well as in intraspecific and interspecific variation levels, while the average level of intraspecific variation appeared similar among native and introduced species. Besides being valuable for the identification of species, DNA barcoding with sufficient sampling is also a tool to investigate specific evolutionary questions, such as biogeographic patterns or the adaptive capacity of invasive and other alien plant species.

The correct identification of any biological species is important in many situations, e.g., biodiversity analyses, monitoring of endangered species, control actions of weeds, pests and invasive species, and studies on the impact of climate change on species distribution. However, this is not always simple or even possible based on morphology alone. Therefore, precise DNA sequencing-based methods of identification have become increasingly common, especially after the development of the idea of DNA barcoding (Hebert et al. 2003), i.e., the use of short DNA sequences from a standardized position in the genome. The practical use of DNA barcodes requires reference databases, namely compiled public libraries of sequences linked to named specimens. There has been considerable international effort to build databases, many of them being region- or taxonomic group-based. The global International Barcode of Life Project (iBOL; www.ibol.org) is a large biodiversity genomics initiative that paves the way for a global digital identification system for life.
The biological materials used for compiling reference libraries for DNA barcodes are either fresh or specimens available in museums, herbaria, botanical gardens and zoos, or in other ex situ conservation collections (von Cräutlein et al. 2011). For plant barcoding, herbarium collections are a major source of materials. It has been well documented that DNA is often well preserved in herbarium samples and, therefore, can be used for DNA analyses, such as sequencing in molecular systematic and phylogenetic studies, and DNA barcoding (e.g., Lehtonen and Christenhusz 2010; von Cräutlein et al. 2011; Xu et a. 2015; Kuzmina et al. 2017).
In this study, we developed rbcL and matK barcodes for angiosperm species collected in Finland during a period of well over 100 years and maintained in herbarium collections. This work is a part of the Finnish Barcode of Life (FinBOL; www.finbol.org) initiative. Besides producing barcodes for Finnish taxa, we specifically report the barcoding success for herbarium materials varying widely in age, also paying attention on success rate variation and genetic distances among different plant families. An additional attempt was to reveal, whether the level of intraspecific variation differs between native and introduced species, the hypothesis being that the non-native species contain less variation due to their possibly sporadic introductions and short evolutionary history in the area.
Angiosperm plant materials used for DNA barcoding and included in the present study consisted of herbarium samples originating from the collections of the Botanical Museum (H), Finnish Museum of Natural History, University of Helsinki. Sampling was conducted during years 2012–2016, including 3176 specimens, 1068 species, 456 genera and 77 families. All included specimens had been collected in Finland between years 1867 and 2013, the mean age equaling 39 years at the time of barcoding (conducted in 2012–2016). The number of very old samples (collected between 1867 and 1910) was only 59 (1.8%). Taxonomic assignments and geographic information were obtained from herbarium voucher labels. All specimens were photographed. It was also recorded whether a species was native (including archaeophytes) or introduced (definitions following Hämet-Ahti et al. 1998). All plant samples were shipped to the Canadian Centre for DNA Barcoding for DNA extraction, PCR and sequencing of chloroplast matK and rbcL barcodes using standard plant barcoding protocols (Ivanova et al. 2008; Kuzmina and Ivanova 2011; Kuzmina et al. 2017). All barcodes, images and other sample informations are available in BOLD (http://www.boldsystems.org) under the FinBOL-Plants (FBPL) project ( https://doi.org/10.5883/ds-fbpl1).
First, all sequences were subjected to genus-level similarity search against the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) database using BLASTn to confirm the assignment of taxonomic identities. Matches were found for all sequences. Then, the barcoding success of samples, i.e., barcode compliance (sequences > 500 bp long, matK or rbcL or both), was calculated for all specimens and species, and for each family and sample age group. Final age comparisons were conducted for the whole data set and for the families with greatest sample sizes, including Asteraceae, Caryophyllaceae, Cyperaceae, Lamiaceae, Plantaginaceae, Poaceae, Ranunculaceae and Rosaceae. Age-specific barcoding success rates among age groups and among the eight above-mentioned families were compared with Chi-square tests (Fisher 1922).
Based on barcode-compliant matK and rbcL sequences, intra- and interspecific genetic distances were calculated. The matrices of pairwise distances were generated using MEGA6 (Tamura et al. 2013). The MEGA output files were used as input files for the ExcaliBAR software to produce intra- and interspecific pairwise genetic distances (Aliabadian et al. 2014). Average intraspecific and interspecific genetic distances based on matK and rbcL, separately for each marker, were produced for all samples and separately for families with numbers of samples over 12. Intraspecific genetic distances were generated separately also for native (including archaeophytes) and introduced species, but only for those genera that contained both native and introduced species. Diversity values were compared using t tests (Student 1908).
The barcoding success rates are shown in Fig. 1 for all data and in Online Resource 1 for those families that contained at least 12 samples (41 out of 77 families). The average success rates for any barcode (matK or rbcL), rbcL, matK and both barcodes among all specimens equaled 81, 79, 55 and 53%, respectively, and among species (at least one specimen per species barcoded successfully) 95, 95, 74 and 73%, respectively. Success rates for rbcL varied from 33% in Nymphaeaceae specimens to 100% in Alismataceae, Betulaceae, Papaveraceae and Rubiaceae, while for matK success rates ranged from 0% in Boraginaceae, Crassulaceae, Geraniaceae, Liliaceae, Onagraceae, Orobanchaceae, Pinaceae and Saxifragaceae specimens to 100% in Gentianaceae and Papaveraceae. Only in Papaveraceae, the success rate was 100% for both barcoding regions. Previously, Kuzmina et al. (2017) have observed great differences in barcoding success among plant families, especially concerning the matK barcode, where the used primers are not fully universal.
Among very old samples, 17 were collected between years 1867 and 1899. Only six of them (35%) provided barcode-compliant results, the oldest one being from the year 1880 (Fumaria officinalis, Papaveraceae). Overall, 37 samples were collected between years 1900–1909 and 36 samples between years 1910 and 1919. Among them, 15 (41%) and 24 samples (67%), respectively, gave barcode-compliant results. Figure 2 shows age-specific success rates for rbcL, matK and both in the whole data set and separately for eight families. Since the oldest age groups had only small numbers of samples, old materials formed one group, i.e., collecting before the year 1931. The success rates were tested by a Chi-square test only for rbcL results, because the amplification of matK was poorer even in young material and strongly dependent on factors other than age, largely due to the low performance of standard primers in many plant groups. Among the nine age groups (collecting < 1931, 1931–1940, 1941–1950, 1951–1960, 1961–1970, 1971–1980, 1981–1990, 1991–2000, 2001), the results differed significantly (P < 0.001). The rbcL barcoding success increased steadily from 51.4 to 88.0%, the biggest change being between the age groups 1931–1940 and 1941–1950 (success rates 56.6% and 68.3%, respectively).
When comparing rbcL barcoding success statistically in eight individual families, samples were combined into three age groups (< 1950, 1951–1990 and 1991) due to a limited amount of data per family. The Chi-square testing was not possible for two families, Lamiaceae and Poaceae. Among other six tested families, five families showed significant age differences (i.e., a negative age effect), but Plantaginaceae was an exception without any significant age effect. When testing barcoding success across families in each of the three age groups, significant differences among families were found in the age group < 1950 (P > 0.001, Lamiaceae and Poaceae excluded) and 1951–90 (P < 0.001, all eight families), while in the youngest age group 1991- (Lamiaceae and Poaceae excluded), no significant differences among families were detected. Ranunculaceae and Caryophyllaceae were the families with the poorest barcoding performance among old samples. Previously, Kuzmina et al. (2017) have also observed difference in specimen age effects among plant families.
Herbarium samples are commonly used for studies on molecular systematics or for the generation of DNA barcoding libraries. For instance, Lehtonen and Christenhusz (2010) have used historical herbarium specimens to study the molecular systematics of the fern genus Lindsaea using two chloroplast loci (trnL-trnF and trnSGGA-rps4). The age of the samples ranged from 4 to 172 years, and the total success rate was 57%. For Lindsaea, the specimens age was found to be of little importance for sequencing success when less than 75 years, while among older samples the sequencing success reduced considerably. In our study, the greatest decline in the sequencing success occurred for over 100-year-old specimens. Although fresh specimens generally provide a uniformly good sequencing results (H. Korpelainen, pers. obs.) and herbarium samples quite good results (e.g., the present study; Kuzmina et al. 2017), some investigations have reported low success rates for herbarium samples. For instance, in a small-scale investigation, Enan et al. (2017) have reported that the success rates for matK and rbcL barcodes were 90% and 90% for fresh samples, but 40% and 50% for herbarium samples, respectively.
Aging or inappropriately preserved herbarium specimens lead to complications in DNA analyses, such as DNA fragmentation and other quality issues (see, Xu et al. 2015). In addition, the taxonomic origin affects barcoding success (e.g., the present study; Kuzmina et al. 2017). Kuzmina et al. (2017) have hypothesized that in certain plant families, DNA degradation occurs soon after sample collection owing to the presence of compounds that degrade DNA or irreversibly bind to it. One way to solve obstacles caused by poor DNA qualities would be to use improved techniques, for instance, DNA reconstruction (Xu et al. 2015) that enables the amplification of sufficiently long fragments for DNA barcoding and other purposes even for otherwise failing specimens.
Table 1 and Online Resource 2 give the values for intraspecific and interspecific genetic distances across all data and in different plant families. Intraspecific distances per family ranged from 0 to 0.0062 (average 0.0005) and from 0 to 0.0048 (average 0.0007) based on rbcL and matK barcodes, respectively, while interspecific distances ranged from 0 to 0.0216 (average 0.0064) and from 0.0019 to 0.0497 (average 0.0150) based on rbcL and matK, respectively. Mean intraspecific distances were significantly lower than interspecific distances for both rbcL and matK barcodes (P < 0.001). The presence of intraspecific variation means that DNA barcodes can potentially be used as a tool for inferring biogeographic patterns, as also suggested by Costion et al. (2016). However, sampling should be sufficiently comprehensive to reveal geographic patterns in molecular variation. Increasingly, common and cost-efficient whole-chloroplast genome sequencing for plant DNA barcoding purposes will not only provide more accurate identification (Li et al. 2015; Coissac et al. 2016; Zhang et al. 2017) but also improve insights into biogeographic variation patterns.
Both native and introduced species were present in 50 genera, including 276 native species and 118 introduced species (2–3 successfully barcoded specimens per species). Intraspecific genetic distances based on rbcL equaled 0.0021 ± 0.0018 and 0.0016 ± 0.0042 in native and non-native species, respectively. Comparable values based on matK equaled 0.0007 ± 0.0013 and 0.0018 ± 0.0038, respectively. The differences were nonsignificant. Previously, Dlugosch and Parker (2008) have provided evidence that introduced populations possess lower levels of neutral genetic diversity than their conspecific native-range populations. On the other hand, Oduor et al. (2016) have discovered that invasive and native plant species do not differ consistently in the extent and frequency of local adaptation, which supports the view that rapid post-introduction adaptive evolution may enable invasive plant species to persist and expand their ecological niche in introduced ranges. Then again, Bock et al. (2015) have emphasized that numerous unknowns remain in invasion genetics, such as the sources of genetic variation, the role of so-called expansion load, and the relative importance of propagule pressure versus genetic diversity for successful establishment. Our comparison of intraspecific variation on partial chloroplast genes (DNA barcodes rbcL and matK) conducted for native and alien plants (most not considered invasive) showed that there is no significant difference in the genetic variation between these two groups. It remains unresolved, whether this may be due to multiple introductions and recombination or rapid adaptive evolution among alien plants. However, our sampling is not sufficient to allow definite conclusions on the patterns of intraspecific variation in native and alien plants. Yet, DNA barcoding with sufficient sampling is a tool to investigate specific evolutionary questions, such as the adaptive capacity of invasive and other alien plants or biogeographic patterns.

Q: How to automatically fetch the active Docker registry I am delivering a Docker image along with a script to automate and build > push that image to the repository.
docker build -t myDockerSpace/myServiceImage:latest .
docker push myDockerSpace/myServiceImage

without specifying the namespace/hub I run into access issues. Anyhow issue is when I delivery these scripts I would need to ask them to manually change the hub to their respective registry and then run which actually kills the purpose to automate it.
Is there a way I can fetch and insert the active Docker namespace of the machine where it is running and insert it in the document?

Permanent link Hi Marty, I would recommend using the Mac OS app because it will give you more features, better speed, and easy server selection, as compared to using the VPN on a router. ExpressVPN is also offering a coupon for three months free (applied on checkout page). The RT-AC68U is a decent model, but if speed is your primary concern, I'd recommend using ExpressVPN's Mac OS app instead.
Sprinkler & Irrigation Controls By Jiwon's owner Whereas the Archer C7 offers an impressive 1.75Gbps (1750Mbps) of throughput, the TL-WR1043ND is limited to just 867Mbps at 5GHz (and 300Mbps at 2.4GHz). But don't let that deter you. If you're looking for a budget router, 867Mbps is more than enough for most needs—and more than you'll ever find in the sub-$50 price range. And the system is future-proofed with 802.11ac WiFi technology. It's great if you're going to be primarily using the router for just web surfing. So, browse your memes, stream your Netflix and check your email all at once—if your Internet starts to crawl it won't be the router's fault.

The organizers behind last week's transit challenge in Ottawa have wrapped up their campaign by demanding an indefinite freeze on OC Transpo fares.
But some city councillors — several of whom took the challenge to get around town using only public transit — insist reliability, not cost, is the bigger challenge facing the system.
Seventeen councillors tried getting to meetings, appointments and other events exclusively by bus from Feb. 4 to 10, but many admitted it was a struggle, and several resorted to using their cars when the going got tough.
Free Transit Ottawa, the group behind the challenge, asked councillors on Monday to freeze fares indefinitely, to try a pilot offering free transit, and to create a task force of riders to come up with recommendations to improve the system.
The group's ultimate aim is to make public transit free in Ottawa, but that would leave the city short about $200 million per year in fare revenue.
The group admits that outcome is unlikely, at least in the short term.
"I think that a win that we see as being more politically viable with the councillors that are in place is freezing all fares," said challenge organizer Kirstin Pulles.
Most councillors agreed free transit is a non-starter.
"Replacing that revenue is probably politically impossible," said Coun. Jeff Leiper.
"What we want to do is improve public transit. That takes money," Coun. Jean Cloutier pointed out.
In fact, OC Transpo's fares are currently frozen because of the delay in the launch of light rail, but another increase is coming July 1.
Several councillors said they are open to the idea of an extended fare freeze, something former councillor Tobi Nussbaum attempted to do in 2015, but failed to gain enough support.
But Innes ward Coun. Laura Dudas, a longtime transit user, said she believes riders are willing to pay for quality service.
After participating in last week's challenge, Coun. Mathieu Fleury agreed the focus needs to be on expanding route options and making OC Transpo more dependable.
"Long lineups at bus stops, people stressed to get into work in the morning, that's the challenge we have when there's no capacity," Fleury said.
