Shinkokai Koi Show in Japan Part 3

The Shinkokai Koi Show is now over. We had some very interesting discussions onsite with breeders and experts from the koi scene. We also met quite a few German people and could exchange our ideas with them too. It was worth flying to Japan for this. Our decision to have a booth here for JBL and ProPond paid off as it proved to be a good contact point for further activities with this range.

Didier and I are continuing our trip through Japan. We still have a few visits to make to breeders and we need to sort out some important issues for our upcoming expedition ( Japan Expedition ).

Once again this year the Japanese gave us permission to take underwater pictures. Normally nobody is allowed to enter these holy waters, but they are really looking forward to seeing our pictures and they trusted us. We all had lots of fun with this, including the Japanese.

On this occasion we learned that Kaneko’s Tosai currently were fed with JBL PROPOND GROWTH S , since the water temperature was above 15 °C. The large koi will hibernate at 12 °C.

There are now obstacles in the way of our onward journey. The airport is closed because of snow and snow blowers are in use everywhere. The trip to the mountains is only possible in a four-wheel drive vehicle, if at all, but I’m sure we’ll think of something.

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.
