Do research in the jungles of Venezuela with JBL

The destination for the JBL Expedition 2016 has now been decided: 40 participants will have the chance to accompany the JBL research team to the Orinoco Delta and to the famous table mountains at the Brazilian border for 8 days in April. This JBL expedition will be completely back to nature: The overnight stay in the jungle of the Orinoco will be in open palm huts without windows and doors with an open view to the second biggest river of South America. From there one-day excursions to the surrounding biotopes will be undertaken. Even if the water is not very clear, the fish variety can hardly be topped there: there are cichlids, tetras, catfish and knifefish living in the waters. Survival training in the rainforest is also on the schedule: getting water out of lianas, “bleeding bark” to treat injuries, finding food in palm hearts and catching fat, juicy maggots for the larger appetites. This is a must for everyone to experience live and not only on TV!

After the Orinoco we will fly into the south to the table mountains, where dinosaurs are thought to have lived in the total isolation of their plateau regions. The JBL expedition participants will canoe for 4 hours into the gorges of the table mountains. Away from all roads and paths the second JBL jungle camp is situated, with hammocks under palm branches and a direct proximity to the world’s highest waterfalls, the Salto Angel. Terrarium enthusiasts will find their favourites here. Tarantulas, pit vipers and countless lizards live in this remote region of the earth. Fish enthusiasts will find perfect snorkelling conditions in clear and red coloured water and will surely discover a new fish species or two. At about € 1,700 the trip price has been kept as low as possible. You will find more information inside the new JBL Aquarium/Reptile Catalogue 2015 or from the end of December on the JBL homepage at: Venezuela Expedition 2016

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.
