The Canaima Lagoon

At the foot of three waterfalls lies the lagoon of Canaima, a small place with about 3,000 inhabitants. In 1975 the Canaima National Park was extended to 30,000 km2 and is one of the largest in the world! Its main attraction is the Salto Angel which, at 979 m, rates as the world’s highest waterfall.

After the Orinoco Lodge the stone buildings with real beds seemed very strange to us and we really felt locked up. Quite a lot of us were longing for the hammocks and palm-roofed huts. A first glance into the water of the lagoon finally showed transparent blackwater. At last we could do a bit of intensive snorkelling and carry out some observations under water. But even the 28 °C warm water felt cold after half an hour and most of us were glad that we had packed a thin diving suit. You had to think carefully what to put into your luggage because of the luggage limit (13 kg) for the flight to Canaima. We’d long since stopped noticing the strong smell of the T-shirts, since we’d all been wearing our shirts in the water and on land for days at a stretch. With an air temperature of 30 °C and over 70 % relative humidity sweating was a permanent state.

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.
