Only for the ambitious: The JBL Biotope Aquarium Design Contest 2014

The Eastern European JBL Biotope Aquarium Design Contest has been in existence since 2011 and is now entering its fourth year. Aquascapers and biotope aquarists, committed to biotope aquatics (reproduction of a habitat), are invited to compete in this challenging contest.

Last year’s entries show that this competition has practically become a world championship, even if it is advertised as being for Eastern Europe. World class entries, which were correspondingly very well received internationally, reached us in particular from Turkey. To qualify for the first round all participants need to send in a photo of their biotope aquariums (01.07.–31.08.14).

The finalists will then compete live against one another at the Zoosphere exhibition in St. Petersburg on 28.11.14 and will demonstrate how to set up a biotope aquarium in front of the audience and the jury.

To ensure equal opportunities the biotope category can be chosen (North America, South America, Eurasia, Africa, Australia/Oceania). The special attraction and the extreme challenge of biotope aquariums lies in choosing the elements of setting and the animal stock appropriate to the habitat to be reproduced. And then these elements have to be scaped, which means that they have to be attractively designed! The days when a few leaves spread on the bottom and a lot of roots sticking out of the water to reproduce the Rio Negro, have long gone! Biotope scaping is the aquascaping for the ambitious.

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.
