Biotope Aquarium Design Contest 2015 – The Final

It’s time to announce the results of the JBL Biotope Design Contest 2015. After a preliminary online heat, the final took place at the ZooSphere 2015 in St. Petersburg from 19 to 21 November.

We’d like to take the opportunity to congratulate the five winners on their impressive entries. Once again this year the jury was pleased to observe a very high standard amongst the entries generally. The Biotope Contest will take place again next year and perhaps we can even look forward to welcoming you as participant there.

If you’d like to reproduce one of these layouts at home, you will find detailed information underneath each of the ranked aquariums. The equipment made available to the participants can be viewed here .

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.
