The participants for the expedition to Venezuela have been drawn by lot

Precisely 107 applicants applied for JBL’s 10-day expedition to the Orinoco and to the tabletop mountains of Venezuela in April 2016. Since there were only 40 places available – in addition to the permanent research team - we were forced to draw lots. The 26 people who had already participated in previous expeditions were put on a waiting list. They will only get another opportunity to participate if a first-timer has to drop out at a later date. All applicants have been informed via email and postal letter.

Interest from abroad has grown significantly and this JBL expedition is the first time to have around half of its participants from England, Switzerland, Russia, Cyprus, Estonia, The Netherlands and Sweden. The aquatic experts Dr. Wolfgang Staeck (cichlids), Andreas Tanke (catfish) and Kai A. Quante (invertebrates) are joining us from Germany. The 50 participants will research the biotopes in groups of eight and will meet up in the camp in the evening for expert lectures or night-time excursions. Roland Böhme, general manager of JBL, will be present as team leader and the biologist Heiko Blessin will lead the expedition.

PUSH messages from JBL

What are PUSH messages? As part of the W3C standard, web notifications define an API for end-user notifications that are sent to the user's desktop and/or mobile devices via the browser. Notifications appear on the end devices as they are familiar to the end user from apps installed on the device (e.g. emails). Notifications appear on the end user’s device, just like an app (e.g. for emails) installed on the device.

These notifications enable a website operator to contact its users whenever they have a browser open - it doesn’t matter whether the user is currently visiting the website or not.

To be able to send web push notifications, all you need is a website with a web push code installed. This allows brands without apps to take advantage of many of the benefits of push notifications (personalised real-time communications at just the right moment).

Web notifications are part of the W3C standard and define an API for end user notifications. A notification makes it possible to inform the user about an event, such as a new blog post, outside the context of a website.

JBL GmbH & Co. KG provides this service free of charge, and it is easy to activate or deactivate.
