Tokyo, temples, koi, snakes and coral reefs

A pet shop in Tokyo, culture in Nikko, koi breeders in Niigata, marine research in Ishigaki and a coconut crab in the jungle of Iriomote were the keywords in this expedition’s journal. After all, the JBL expedition team wouldn’t go all the way to Japan just for the koi…

    Giant woodlice in Tokyo

    10 million inhabitants naturally need suitable pet shops. On their arrival our team visited a large aquarium shop. Godzilla wasn’t there, but they did have some prehistoric animals.

    Japanese culture

    Anyone who visits Japan will want to visit a real temple to participate in a tea ceremony. Even our inveterate cola drinkers were fascinated!

    The secrets of koi breeders at Nagaoka

    Japanese people can be very pleasant, but it often takes some time to get to know them before you can communicate well with them. And their limited knowledge of English doesn’t exactly help.

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.
