JBL Expedition 2015: California, South Seas & Australia

2300 km Coral Reef: Australia’s Great Barrier Reef

With over 400 coral and 1500 fish species the faunal diversity is many times higher than in the South Seas. To save money we booked a day trip on the Poseidon, and it was so crowded, it felt like there were another 200 people on board. We were glad when we finally arrived at the Agincourt reef after a 1.5 h trip. One glance at the reef showed us the meaning of coral diversity. You had the feeling you were seeing the 360 hard coral species which live there all gathered together within a few square metres. We even found a few dormant whitetip reef sharks and a Napoleon wrasse there. Over us swam hundreds of snorkelers, so you never felt alone. In addition to the unbelievable colours of the Acropora hard coral species, the large Tridacna clams, which were given the lurid name “killer clam” by Jacques Cousteau, were well worth seeing. I asked quite a few dive guides and none of them has ever heard of anyone getting their limbs stuck inside a “killer clam”, or anything dangerous like that. Around 5:00 p.m. we returned to Port Douglas. Our recommendation: It’s better to book a small boat with a few passengers than a huge yacht with a Disneyworld atmosphere!

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.
