JBL Expedition 2015: California, South Seas & Australia

Water Holes in the Deserts of the Outback

The gorges are popular destinations in the heart of Australia. That’s what the Australians call the canyons which often have water at the bottom. Normal tourists admire the water, sometimes have a refreshing swim and head on. Our gang unpacked our landing nets and water tests, entered the water and took photos of everything which had fins or legs and which swam, crawled or hopped around. The tourists there kept asking us what we were doing. Some of the water holes had very clear water, so we were able to take beautiful underwater pictures of the biotopes, which formed the living space of many rainbow fish. Interesting was also the low water temperature of max. 24 °C at an air temperature of 28-37 °C. This indicates that the water holes must have a source which feeds fresh and cold groundwater. Otherwise they would soon dry up in the dry season. Yet there are water holes for which the on-site researchers couldn’t determine the water source. For bird lovers the water holes were a paradise too. Parakeets, cockatoos, zebra finches and even birds of prey often allowed us to approach close enough to take some beautiful photos.

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.
