Snake farm advises JBL on Namibia expedition

Jürgen Hergert, who runs the snake farm in the Nordharz, was lucky to survive three deadly poisonous snake bites which resulted in cardiac arrest and all its associated complications. Milking poisonous snakes to produce serum is not without its dangers. He’s just the right person to help JBL plan an expedition to the country where he lived for 19 years before he founded the snake farm in Schladen. He knows local Himba tribes and knows where the expedition members will find lizards or snakes, which sand tracks are passable and where the jeeps can get stuck. JBL is planning a 14-day expedition to Namibia and Zambia in 2022. Jürgen Hergert and his team visited JBL in Neuhofen and together with Heiko Blessin from JBL, will lead the expedition. As soon as the route has been determined and details clarified, JBL will officially announce the Namibia-Zambia expedition. But before that we are going to Colombia in 2021 with the cichlid expert, Dr. Wolfgang Staeck. This JBL expedition will be announced before the year ends.

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.
