JBL Workshop Vietnam 2013

From the jungle to the desert it was just 20 metres

No joke: a small street in Nha Trang separates the rainforest from the desert-like dune landscape at the coast! At the end of the workshop the whole group visited this biotope which none of us had expected in Vietnam. The sand dunes were covered with larger bush, shrub and cacti growth. To avoid the merciless tropical sun, we postponed the trip until the late afternoon. Nevertheless the air temperature was still up to 30% and – atypical for deserts - had an air humidity of 75 %. The high relative humidity in combination with the sand substrate has led to a worldwide unique situation. The two professors who came with us on the trip were so pleased with the region, that they went on several full-day excursions out there. They discovered plants which can normally only be found in totally different habitats! Some brackish water lagoons also formed very unusual living conditions, which delighted the biologists.

Despite the slowly sinking afternoon temperatures, large animals were hardly to be found. Crawler lanes in the sand proved that lizards had been there. Unfortunately we didn’t see them. Under some stones we found poisonous centipedes. The largest one however with a body length of over 30 cm was found by the hotel manager in the kitchen! Towards the sea you could find many holes in the sand. Those who waited for some minutes, could also see their inhabitants. The crabs had dug the holes, even though they were about hundred metres away from the waterline. Although we hardly found animals this habitat was worth taking a closer look at during different times of the day and night.

Workshop 2013 - Vietnam - Desert region

After ten days the JBL workshop Vietnam came to an end but the participants still had time on the last day to stroll through the place with its markets, hustle and bustle and souvenir shops. The most frequently asked question to me always was: “Isn’t it incredibly stressful to look after so many participants?” And my really honest reply was: “No, it isn’t. They all are nature-loving “crazy” people, who take joy in every puddle and every bush, because animals they are interested in live there. It only becomes exhausting, when someone forgets we are not in Germany anymore but in Asia and that the concept of time is different here. But I didn’t come across that! The participants of our JBL workshop were really great and I would take them along again any time.

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.
