The Water Lily Camp

It was rarely the case that the natives on-site did understand what we wanted, when we asked for places with clear water. They showed us places where they considered the water was clear, but which we thought was incredibly cloudy. So we changed strategy and asked for places where we could find aquatic plants. This idea was successful and we reached a camp which was no longer in use where the water was slightly clearer than at any of the other locations we had visited at the delta. The visibility was at about 60 cm which doesn’t sound very much. But in the shallow water of the embankment it was at least good enough to be able to really observe the plants and fish. We observed X-ray fish (Pristella maxillaris), pike cichlids (Crenicichla), Leaffishes (Polycentridae) and even suckermouth armoured catfishes (Loricariidae) there! This worked until the first snorkeler came up to tell the others about the discoveries. That was the end then and the visibility was worse than ever. Fortunately there was a bit of a current and the visibility was restored after about 30 minutes.

The snail enthusiasts were absolutely amazed: algaevorous snails (Neritina) which always had been regarded as an Asian species were there in large amounts! Their concise white eggs were there sticking to the wood. As is known these snails need brackish water for successful reproduction. Although the water had a slightly higher general hardness degree of 28 °dGH, 0 °dKH and a pH value of 4.5 are not really typical for brackish water.

A lot of us were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the underwater pictures because our subjective impression during the snorkelling had been worse than the pictures showed. So here comes some information about the camera settings: camera Canon EOS 5 D with EF 1:4 17-40 mm L USM lense with close-up lens +4 in the underwater housing from BS Kinetics with small domeport. All pictures without a flash. The ISO setting was raised with 1600 to its maximum. Of course this made the pictures a bit grainy. Through the high ISO setting you still reach shutter speeds of 1/200 sec and aperture values between 10 and 13 in the programme mode with manual underexposure.This way the pictures have a certain depth of field and the fast moving fish, such as tetras are not (too) blurred.

Wiadomości PUSH od JBL

Jako część standardu W3C, powiadomienia Web definiują API dla powiadomień użytkowników końcowych, które są wysyłane za pośrednictwem przeglądarki na pulpit urządzeń stacjonarnych i/lub urządzeń mobilnych użytkowników. Powiadomienia pojawiają się na urządzeniach końcowych tak, jak jest to znane użytkownikowi końcowemu z aplikacji zainstalowanych na urządzeniu (np. wiadomości e-mail).

Powiadomienia te umożliwiają operatorowi witryny kontaktowanie się z jego użytkownikami tak długo, jak długo mają oni otwartą przeglądarkę - niezależnie od tego, czy użytkownik aktualnie odwiedza stronę internetową, czy nie.

Aby móc wysyłać powiadomienia web push, wystarczy tylko strona internetowa z zainstalowanym kodem web push. Tym samym także marki bez aplikacji mogą korzystać z wielu zalet powiadomień push (spersonalizowana komunikacja w czasie rzeczywistym dokładnie w odpowiednim momencie.)

Powiadomienia internetowe są częścią standardu W3C i definiują API dla powiadomień użytkowników końcowych. Powiadomienie umożliwia poinformowanie użytkownika poza kontekstem strony internetowej o wydarzeniu, jak na przykład nowy wpis na blogu.

Usługa ta jest udostępniona bezpłatnie przez firmę JBL GmbH & Co. KG, i można ją równie łatwo aktywować jak i dezaktywować.
