German Biotope Aquarium Contest 2015

Themed aquariums with fish and invertebrate stock inspired by natural habitats – this is biotope aquaristics. It was at the Aqua-Fisch 2014 in Friedrichshafen, where for the first time a large presentation took place.

JBL, the Friedrichshaven Trade Fair and trade publisher Dähne Verlag invite to participate in a photo contest for biotope aquariums. Aquarists from all western European countries are cordially invited to submit their photos to compete in this international contest. Parallel to this an eastern European competition will take place in Russia under the patronage of JBL and Unitex.

The registration period to submit the aquarium photos starts on 1 September 2014 and ends on 31 January 2015. Each participant can submit three to five photos for up to two biotope aquariums of their own design. An international jury of respected specialists and connoisseurs of original biotopes will then evaluate the aquariums on the basis of the photos.

The award ceremony and the presentation of the photos will take place before the visitors to the Aqua-Fisch exhibition from 6 to 8 March, 2015 in Friedrichshafen. Further information and the full conditions of participation can be found under www.biotop-aquaristik.de.

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.
