Transparency, tools, and tracking - three ways Awin is helping our partners grow
Written by Sarah Ruzgar on
16th Sep 2021 .
Voting has opened for Best Affiliate Network at the International Performance Marketing Awards.
Now in its fifth year, the International Performance Marketing Awards rewards creativity, innovation, and excellence demonstrated in the industry at a global scale. Following another uncertain year navigating extended lockdown periods and returning to 'normal' life, we're pleased to share recognition of our efforts alongside our partners with eight shortlisted entries.
We're also thrilled to be shortlisted for Best Affiliate Network, which is weighted 40% by industry votes.
While Awin has participated in these awards since its inception and took home several awards last year, the honour of winning hasn't diminished – it's still something we truly value. That's why we'd like to highlight three ways we're helping you to grow your business:
1. Increasing transparency to support smarter decisions
One of the many lessons we learned over the past 18 months is that transparency is key when businesses are faced with tough choices to safeguard their revenue. In 2021, we made it our mission to continue equipping our partners, both advertisers and publishers, with as much insight as possible to help them make better commercial decisions, regardless of the pandemic.
With this in mind, we formalised our approach by launching the Awin Gold Standard in January. The first and only of its kind, the initiative recognises best-in-class affiliate programmes based on the following criteria: faster payments, timely validations, optimal tracking, fair commission structures and transparent de-duplication policies. Marked with a Gold Standard badge in our platform, Awin publishers have complete visibility on the best programmes to prioritise for marketing promotion. This not only benefits publishers with reliable, faster paid income, but accredited advertisers can enjoy attracting more publishers to their programmes and strengthening their existing partnerships to grow revenue. Initially launched in the UK with over 40 advertisers now certified, the Awin Gold Standard will be available in all markets by the end of the year.
Tableau reporting available in the Awin platform
Following the popularity of our COVID-19 Performance Tracker and the clear value it brought our partners, we've made the tool powering the report available in the Awin platform. Tableau is a marketing-leading data visualisation tool offering highly sophisticated levels of data and analytics that our clients now have access to directly in their reporting dashboards. The reports can be configured and adjusted depending on what insights you need to access. Currently being piloted in our US market, Tableau reporting will be rolled out across all markets in the near future.
Acquisition of multi-touch attribution technology SingleView
Having partnered with SingleView in 2020, we quickly realised the potential of the powerful insights the multi-touch attribution tool offered for brands. Not only can it help answer which partners and campaigns deliver the greatest value in the customer journey, it also evolves our industry's reliance beyond the last-click model, enabling brands to strategically adjust where they invest their marketing spend and ensure tangible improvements on ROI. Fashion giants PrettyLittleThing and Ted Baker have already seen huge uplifts in revenue driven by partners when reallocating budget based off insights visible in SingleView's platform. That's why in March we invested in fully acquiring SingleView's technology to help bring these invaluable insights to more of our partners and help optimise their affiliate activity.
2. Improved access to better tools and solutions
In business, knowing what you need to do is just the first step. What if you don't have the tools or information to get the job done? Another area Awin has focused on this last year is enhancing our solutions to make sure no matter how big or small your company is or what marketing problem you need to solve, we've got the tools, plugins and partners to support your goals.
Commission Manager
Once you've determined which affiliate partners are contributing to different parts of your purchase funnel, you may need to adjust how you're rewarding certain publishers or partner types. To make sure advertisers have complete flexibility to amend commission rates in line with their objectives or change in circumstances, we overhauled our Commission Manager tool in 2020 - and by January 2021 every advertiser was migrated to the new tool. Offering a range of improvements, Awin's new Commission Manager included a simplified interface, the ability to set group rates or build bespoke partnerships with individual rates, as well as a timeline view that allowed both advertisers and publishers to pinpoint factors such as the types of promotion affecting commission rates. This enhanced version of Commission Manager means you can confidently invest in your affiliate programme, knowing you have the flexibility to adapt your spend and optimise towards the best performing publisher types.
Enabling Awin Access integration on core platforms
Since launching our small business solution Awin Access in 2020 and with ease at the forefront of our minds, we've spent the past 12 months making sure it can be easily integrated into the most popular ecommerce and publishing platforms, including Squarespace, Wix and WordPress. A key milestone in 2021 was our integration with the Shopify app store, opening up affiliate marketing opportunities for over one million businesses to our 200k+ publisher partners. The first global affiliate marketing solution to launch on the app, it quickly earned a 5-star rating from Shopify users impressed with how easy it was to integrate the solution in their store and start working with a variety of partners to grow traffic, sales, and revenue. The numbers speak for themselves; over 1,300 programmes have launched worldwide so far, with over 500,000 sales converting and more than €40m in revenue generated.
Streamlining support with our self-help centers
It's all well and good offering a platform full of sophisticated features, but what if you're unsure of how to use them? As part of our ongoing mission to make affiliate marketing and using Awin easier, we've launched two self-help success centers for both advertisers and publishers. The Publisher Success Center launched in Oct 2020 and, in July 2021, was followed by our Advertiser Success Center. Powered by AI technology, you simply start typing your enquiry to have a recommended selection of over 150 articles covering all aspects of using Awin and our platform suggested to you. Not only does this cut precious time spent contacting and waiting for support, you may discover new features and hacks you weren't aware of, ensuring you make the most of what Awin has to offer for your affiliate activity.
Additionally, in July 2020, we launched our Agency Resource Center for our North American agency partners. This special hub provides exclusive access to publisher opportunities, strategic insights and training materials for both the Awin and ShareASale platforms, as well as the ability for ShareASale agency partners to become an accredited partner through our agency certification programme. While currently available in the US only, the Agency Resource Center will be rolled out to other markets in the coming months to further extend our agency support.
3. Better tracking for additional revenue
It's not rocket science - if there are gaps in tracking sales, you're losing out on revenue. With Google and Apple continuing to crack down on third-party tracking, and consumers purchasing more on apps, it's imperative for affiliate programmes to use cutting-edge tracking technologies to avoid missing out on sales and prevent your publisher partners losing out on commission.
Awin's MasterTag
Our in-house developed solution for both advertisers and publishers serves multiple functions. Not only does it secure first-party tracking with its privacy-conscious functionality and remove the risk of missing sales from Apple and Google updates, but as we've continued to welcome more technology solutions to our platform in 2021, it also offers a ream of plug-and-play abilities from our technology partners.
For advertisers, the Awin MasterTag includes everything from on-site product bundling, AI-based upselling, visual recognition, personalised discounts, remarketing and exit intent solutions in an easily accessible, pay-on-performance basis.
For publishers, the MasterTag provides access to Bounceless Tracking - removing redirects from the consumer journey to get them to the purchase page faster and reducing the risk of losing sales through lengthy page load times. In addition, the unique adMission tool, available in the MasterTag, has automated ad disclosure for our publisher partners, with more than 500 partners already using it to guarantee promotion complies with local ad disclosure regulations.
App tracking
We believe everyone benefits when in-app sales and activity are tracked as a default for affiliate programmes. In 2020 we tracked 6 times more in advertiser revenue for app-based transactions than in 2019, and that's why we made this a core requirement in 2020 for all brands with transactional apps.
Leading the way in app tracking within the industry, Awin was the first affiliate network to join Button's Certified Partner Program earlier this year and the first to partner with their Reach technology in July last year. In addition, we now partner with the three largest MMPs (Branch, AppsFlyer and Adjust) to make app integrations even easier for advertisers, and these moves have led to increased activity being tracked, with double digit revenue growth generated for many advertisers that integrate app tracking. But it's not just advertisers who benefit from this adoption; programmes with affiliate app tracking implemented track 2.5 times more publisher commissions than those without – ensuring all partners are better rewarded for their contributions.
The combination of improved transparency, tools and tracking have ensured that every one of our partners has not missed an opportunity to grow with us. The past 18 months have seen huge shifts for consumers and businesses alike to adapt to. Demand for ecommerce and performance marketing have leapt with those shifts, with our industry reacting well to meet this renewed appetite. Here at Awin, we've responded with a raft of products, initiatives and improvements over the last year that mean we're ready to help businesses everywhere continue to grow in a profoundly altered world.
We'd be honoured to have your vote for Best Affiliate Network.

After the County Commission meeting today, Chairman Ashley Paulk and I were chatting and he mentioned that starting at the next meeting everyone with a camera would be moved to the back of the room.
As I went out of the commission chambers, I met County Clerk Paige Dukes and I asked her about being moved to the back of the room. She said she didn't know anything about it and had only over heard "them" talking about it before the meeting.
There was no indication who "them" was. She suggested that I clarify with the Chairman.
I went back into the Commission Chambers and asked Chairman Paulk to clarify, where would this area be and would it be only for press or even for citizens with cameras. He said it would be for everyone with cameras and that "some people" found it distracting to have cameras in the audience.
Again, it was not clear to me who the "some people" are.
The area he indicated in the back of the room is a small alcove where there is no seating. And he said that if any camera crews from TV stations came, they would also have to be in that area.
I mentioned to him that the audio in the back of the room is poor and one of the reasons I had moved from the second last row to the second from the front, is because the audio is much better in the front. He suggested that I talk to Aaron Kostyu the IT director.
Apparently the commissioners talked about this at their retreat in the spring (I missed that meeting). I guess we'll see.

Cameras don't bother me when I get up to speak. Sounds like they don't want you there. Any why wouldn't they say this during the meeting and not get you off to the side….
sounds like it is time for a wireless microphone of your own that gets placed up front before the meeting starts….
We've been sitting firmly in our seats since it was mentioned at the retreat that moving about was distracting. I guess we'll see. I'll bring my tripod and a chair.
Just bring a palm video camcorder – with a nice lit'l handy zoom lens.
Sounds to me like typical county tactics to hinder the Ga. Open Meetings Act.
If they have allowed camera/video access previously located in close proximity to the panel, seems to me if they are slowly pushing them to the back of the meeting room, that should be an obvious attempt, from council member(s), to hinder the legal video/audio recording of a meeting which is covered under the Ga. Open Meetins Act – and, in which, audio/video recording is permitted under the state law.
You need one of these, Gretchen. Bet you could hear their stomachs growl.

Q: What does "tapping into the pocket of sunlight" mean? This phrase is from the Home(2009) documentary and the whole sentence is:

"Our world's clock now beats to the rhythm of these indefatigable machines tapping into the pocket of sunlight."

A: If you see the other reference referring to 'pocket of sunlight' you can see it refers to the energy trapped within plants in 'pockets' under the earth and originating from the sun. The 'pocket of sunlight' refers to this trapped energy derived from sunlight.
These flames are also from plants.
A pocket of sunlight.
Pure energy.
The energy of the sun, captured over millions of years by millions of plants more than 100 million years ago.
It's coal.
It's gas.
And, above all, it's oil.

Taboo: The Fight Within
by stewypnewton
Posted on March 3, 2017 November 3, 2017
Just Recently Tom Hardy's newest show "Taboo" has just finished it's first season, now surrounding this show was a bit of controversy for some people. Tom hardy plays James Delaney an English man who is supposedly half black and half white, who was lost at sea and presumed dead. Many people were mad at the supposed rumors of the show and these were only rumors that I myself heard at the time, that Tom hardy was going be called "Nigger" and that he is nowhere near half black, many people felt this was whitewashing a character. When we know many slaves and children long ago were mulatto's and treated very different. Before I watched this show I was very skeptical even though months prior when seeing the preview and even the simple fact Tom hardy decided to do a TV show had me very excited. Very few actors who are heavily in the film industry do not seem like TV series actors, especially with viewers and how someone can instantly say your show isn't worth a watch, only 2 minutes in with no action.
Now as a Black man I am very opened minded, but also very conscious of what I feel is whitewashing, and also what I feel is good television and what is a good film compared to a lot of critics. Now watching this show I did have a lot of questions, but I wanted to see if what people said before even watching the show was true or if they watched pilot episodes and felt it just didn't sit well with them. Even though I know Tom hardy himself probably wouldn't do anything to truly jeopardize his fan base. These were only rumors and minor things I heard before even watching the show, so I would just like to give sort of an overview and also my review and thoughts on this new thriller.
TABOO — "Episode 1" (Airs Tuesday, January 10, 10:00 pm/ep) — Pictured: Oona Chaplin as Zilpha. CR: Robert Viglasky/FX
Now first we meet James Delaney and his half sister Zilphia, James has supposedly been dead for 17 years after a voyage down to Africa where he finally returns home to London for his fathers funeral. Now we already are getting a kind of weird vibe from James and Zilphia as there's something more than just a brother and sister relationship going on. We see that the everyone in London even the high monarchs who delegate are even worrisome of James's return. The Only reason the head monarch Sir Stuart Strange played by Jonathan Pryce is worried that James will not give up his father's ownership of Nunkta sound to the East India Company. This show takes place around the 19th century with the war between Britain and America happening at the most pivotal moment of who has the most gun powder and who can out last who. Now this show takes so many twist and turns, James comes back to London a different man and taking on African rituals, which kind of frightens most people who are calling him a savage and he only knows the savage ways now.
We see that James isn't just some ghost from the past, he is also on a mission, and also very educated in politics and the ideals of how to do business, but more so business in his own way not by the book. Sir Stuart Strange and the rest of the East India Company figured out that James as already promise his share of the land to the Americans which creates an even bigger divide between James and the East India Company with James leaving saying he will create his own company to do business.
Before I move on I have to say this show has an amazing cast kudos to Tom hardy and Ridley Scott for bringing a lot of actors and actresses that Ive been watching for a long time. Tom hardy of course, Jonathan Pryce, Oona Chaplin aka Zilpha, Michael Kelly loved him in House of Cards and many other things, and also Stephen Graham aka Atticus I have been a fan of him for a long time since watching Gangs of New York. Graham always plays the perfect muscle enforcer that is needed. While watching this show we learn that James and Zilphia actually were having sex before James left and that James said he has always loved her, knowing that Zilphia was the one thing that got him through being in Africa. Zilphia's Thorne soon learns of this and is on a constant tirade to exploit James of incest, but of also of his new found Nigger savage ways. Thorne is the only one in the show who calls James a nigger, but what I think Throne is a metaphor for the ideal middle class moving into the upper ranks british man at the time. No one else in the show referred to James as this, and I think because most people were afraid of him, but also still had a level of respect of how much he endured.
We soon learn that many people have been ordered to kill James, if he is killed that his father's property can be turned over. Well that didn't go to well for many people, the fight scenes in this show were great, James had a very raw kind of fighting one that was a mix of many things. One thing I would like to ask why did he always cut out the person's heart? I mean I understand cutting out someone's heart and leaving their chest cavity open would make anyone not want to mess with you. I think one of my favorite fight scenes is when James is at the house where his newfound company will be placed to produce, and we see this huge assassin trying to fight James. It was just amazing because this was James was over powered by this man, but came back with no mercy. With so many assassination attempts James finally decides to acquire a team of Atticus and other fellow men.
Watching this show you slowly, but surely get sucked into the story, and wanting to find out what's going to happen next. James is definitely what you would call the friend to the underworld, and he has dealt with a lot of interesting people even before he left to Africa. One thing I can say is that we saw a lot of sexual tension between many characters and you can see that even though today is very sexual, that even back in the day almost everywhere you go you could find a whore house or brothel and the choices were women, young girls, and if people felt the person wasn't interested they brought up men, or young boys. I think this was brought into the show, to add a part of like the british culture and of the 19th century that is highlighted but not really shown unless it is historical facts. But I do wish the show could've of not given us so much sexual tension and gave us some more backstories, but I think this was to show that people went to great length to get information, but also to kill anyone who stood in there way.
When I say I wish they would've added more backstories, there are a lot of interesting, and beautiful and creepy scenes where we see James reciting African dialects which made me wonder if that is a real language from wherever he was taken and captured. We also see James almost having LSD kind of illusions and visions, and how he is in contact with spirits, and that he and his sister have a very huge connection. A lot of this derives from his mother who was African and brought to London by his father, but soon turned crazy. I was very skeptical of some of the scenes when James was chanting things, but you can see they did it just enough to where you could see what he was trying to do. I think I wish there would have been more on what James learned and how he learned it, and seeing maybe why he adapted so much to this culture and more so his mothers culture. Especially there is a bird that James always draws and that his mother also drew too, I would've loved to understand the true significance of it. James also even acknowledges how he feels ashamed of being apart of moving slaves from one place to another.
We learn for James to keep up his end of the bargain with the Americans he had to provide gun powder, and lots of it. He soon be friends a chemist who I might add is such a great character, he was super funny and very intelligent. James and his acquired taste of a team started to create gun powder, but it was not fast enough for James. He soon learned from Michael Kelly a secret but dangerous ingredient to creating faster amounts of gun powder. Now this is where the show goes crazy, I absolutely love the whole sequence of James and his team plotting to steal from the East India Company. Towards the end of the season we are truly in for a roller coaster ride of finding out the truth of Sir Stuart Strange's ship that James was aboard, and also the many plot twist and acts of treason that occurred. This show has a amazing season finale in which we see James always has a back up plan even if he was captured in which he always knew he would be in a certain predicament. The Season finale you are almost kind of in loathing with it, because you do not want this journey to be over, but you also want to keep learning what is going on, and how did James even put all of this into play.
If you have not watched the season yet, please do so, the show just ended you will definitely get sucked into this action thriller. Every character in this show has one thing in common, they are all fighting inner demons, and trying to hide something that has been hidden for a long time. We see James and Zilphia and the things they've done in the past, Sir Stuart strange and his wicked actions. Everyone is fighting for the right to be free without any consequences and which ultimately sort of catches up to each person. Taboo has been confirmed by Tom hardy that the 2nd season will be "explosive" as he says, so I am very excited to see what happens next It was rumored that BBC and FX have not talked about it, but Hardy and Scott have since spoken out. I hope for next season we get some more backstories, and one thing I have to say is I wish we could've seen more of Winter, she was so amazing how much she cared about James and wanted to see him succeed with his plans. Next season should be a wild ride especially how the season finale ended.

Allan Dwyer Jr. – Athlete
By sgodin@m5.ca	January 1, 2019 November 15th, 2019 hall of fame
Inducted October 28, 1995
Grand Falls native Allan (Al) Dwyer Jr. enjoyed tremendous success in hockey and baseball at the Provincial and National levels. Al's hockey career began in the early 1950's as a minor player in Grand Falls Minor Hockey Association. While in junior, he played for the Grand Falls Junior Jays – Provincial Champs in 1959, 1960, 1961 and 1963. In 1959 he broke into NAHA capturing Rookie of the Year honours. Al starred for 20 years with the Grand Falls Andcos and Cataracts, winning the Herder Memorial Championship in 1971 and 1972. Besides leading his team in scoring for 6 years, Al was also named the winner of the Howie Clouter Trophy in 1974 and 1975, as provincial hockey's most sports minded player.
One of his most exciting moments as a player came in 1960 when he was invited to try out with Hamilton Red Wings – farm team of the Detroit Red Wings.
In baseball, Al was a standout both at the plate and on the mound in the Grand Falls Senior League for 15 years. Al was a member of the Grand Falls Braves team that captured the provincial junior championship in 1959. In 1970 he was named top batter and top pitcher. In 1971 and 1972 he won the Bucky Hannaford Trophy as Grand Falls Senior Baseball League MVP.
In 1988 Al was inducted into Newfoundland Amateur Baseball Association Hall of Fame. Al's talent, energy and love for the game along with his constant sportsmanship make Al Dwyer Jr. a very worthy candidate for induction into the Newfoundland and Labrador Sports Hall of Fame.

Joseph Barnard Davis (1801 – 19 May 1881) was an English medical doctor now remembered as a collector and craniologist.

Life
In the summer of 1820, while still a student, he went as a surgeon in a whaling ship to the Arctic seas. Obtaining the Apothecaries' Hall qualification in 1823, it was not till twenty years later that he became a member of the College of Surgeons. In 1862 he graduated M.D. at the University of St Andrews. He early settled at Albion Street Shelton, Staffordshire (now Hanley), and was a medical practitioner till his death on 19 May 1881. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1868.

He was active in local life and was an important member of the Athenaeum, Stoke-upon-Trent.  As such he played a part in establishing the first Museum of the Natural History, Pottery and Antiquities.

Collection and works
In 1836 he published a Popular Manual of the Art of Preserving Health.

Davis collected a museum of skulls and skeletons of various races, nearly all with histories; it was larger than all the collections in British public museums put together, numbering 1474 in 1867. His personal collection began with two skulls bought from Matthew Moorhouse in 1848. He purchased in 1861 from the collection of James De Ville, a phrenologist, including crania from the Museum of Joshua Brookes. He corresponded with travellers, collectors, and residents in foreign countries. In 1856 he began with John Thurnam, the publication of Crania Britannica: delineations and descriptions of the skulls of the aboriginal and early inhabitants of the British islands, with text, plates and an accompanying atlas. The work was completed in 1865.

In 1867 he published a catalogue of the collection called Thesaurus Craniorum, describing and figuring many specimens, and giving 25,000 measurements. In 1875 a supplement to the Thesaurus was published. In 1879 or 1880 the Royal College of Surgeons purchased the collection, then numbering 1800 crania and some skeletons.

As well as his collection of human remains, Davis was an avid collector of books, photographs, prints, drawings and artefacts relating to many cultural groups. Amongst his collection were works of art and artefacts collected originally by George Augustus Robinson from Tasmania and from the state of Victoria, Australia. The Australian works were mainly purchased by Davis after Robinson's death from Robinson's widow. Davis also bought art works relating to Tasmanian Aborigines directly from the artist John Skinner Prout.

He was also interested in the most ancient history of his local north Staffordshire, having a collection of the rare carved runic calendar sticks from the north part of the county. He published a detailed article on these, "Some Account of Runic Calendars and Staffordshire Clogg Almanacs", Archaologia, Vol. XLI, Part II, 1867, pages 453-478.

For some years from 1870 he was one of the editors of the Journal of Anthropology, and of Anthropologia.

Davis's collection was dispersed after his death through a series of auctions in London at Sotheby's in 1883. Many works relating to Oceania, Asia, the Americas and Africa were purchased by A W Franks and given to the British Museum in the late 1880s and 1890s.

Davis was a critic of the idea of human speciation. He believed that comparative anatomy would demonstrate that racial differences were immutable. He supported anti-evolutionary views, and presented a paper to the British Association for the Advancement of Science in 1868, on brain weight, publishing Contributions towards Determining the Weight of the Brain in Different Races of Man (Philosophical Transactions, 1868, clviii. 505–28). In an 1869 paper On the Weight of the Brain in the Negro he argued that brain weight was a racial characteristic.

A polygenist, he drew conclusions on the intellectual capacities of the Australian Aborigines, in particular, from his collection. A motivation for his collecting was his belief that the morphology of the Australian remains provided indications of a separate origin.

Fujifilm Rolls Out Plenty of Point-and-Shoots at CES
Fujifilm bolsters its FinePix point-and-shoot lineup with a number of long-zoom models here at the Consumer Electronics Show.
By Jim Fisher
https://www.pcmag.com/news/fujifilm-rolls-out-plenty-of-point-and-shoots-at-ces
LAS VEGAS—Fujifilm is announcing several new point-and-shoot cameras here at the Consumer Electronics show. The headliner is the FinePix HS50EXR, a 42x zooming camera in a D-SLR style body. Its manual zoom Fujinon lens covers a 24-1,000mm f/2.8-5.6 range (35mm equivalent) and the 16-megapixel CMOS sensor is a 1/2-inch design, slightly larger than the 1/2.3-inch sensors that are found in most point-and-shoot cameras. Physically it's very similar to the HS30EXR in design—although it now features a hinged vari-angle 921k-dot LCD rather than one that could only tilt up or down.
Raw and JPG shooting are both supported, and the camera can record full-resolution images at an impressive 11 frames per second. Like the other CMOS cameras that Fuji is unveiling at CES, the top ISO is 12800, but photos shot at the highest sensitivity are limited in resolution; ISO 3200 is the top setting for full-resolution capture. Video recording is supported at up to 1080p60 quality, and there is an eye-level EVF, bringing the camera more close to an SLR in terms of ergonomics. Its autofocus system supports phase detection and contrast detection for faster and more accurate focus lock, and focus peaking is supported as a manual focus aid. It will sell for $549.95 and ship in March.
If you don't need a 42x lens, you could opt for the FinePix HS35EXR. It's an upgraded version of the HS30EXR, and share many of its features—including a 3-inch tilting 460k-dot LCD, 1080p30 video, and a 30x (24-720mm f/2.8-5.6) manual zoom lens. It also ships in March for $399.95.
Joining the family as Fuji's longest zooming camera, the 50x FinePix SL1000 is a smaller bridge-style superzoom with a 24-1,200mm f/2.9-6.5 lens, a 16-megapixel 1/2.3-inch CMOS sensor, 1080i60 video capture, and a 3-inch tilting 920k-dot LCD. It uses the same 920k-dot EVF that is found in the HS30EXR and HS50EXR, and has a hotshoe for flash and accessory connectivity. Unlike its larger brethren, the zoom lens is a powered design, so you'll control the focal length via a toggle switch rather than by twisting the lens barrel. It is set to debut in March for $399.95.
The FinePix S8200 and S8300 are also long zoom models. The former sports a 40x (24-960mm) zoom lens, while the latter uses a 42x design that covers 24-1,008mm. Both cameras use the same 16-megpixel CMOS sensor that is found in the SL1000 and share 1080i60 video capture, a 460k-dot 3-inch rear LCD, and a 230k-dot EVF. They are powered by four AA batteries, so you can use them for extended periods of time when away from a power outlet, assuming you've packed enough batteries with you. The S8200 is priced at $299.95 and the S8300 at $309.95, both will go on sale in March.
The FinePix XP60 is an entry-level rugged camera, designed with rough handling in mind. The 16-megapixel CMOS shooter is waterproof to 20 feet, shockproof to 5 feet, dustproof, and freezeproof. Its locking battery door has double seals, and there are three shutter buttons—one for standard shooting, one for burst shooting, and one for movie recording. The camera ha a 5x (28-140mm) lens with an internal zoom design—image stabilization is achieved by shifting the sensor rather than the lens elements. Its 2.7-inch LCD is coated to prevent reflections, and images can be captured at up to 10 frames per second. It will be available yellow, blue, red, or green in March for $199.95.
A lone 16-megaipxel CCD model was also announced at CES. The FinePix T550 is priced at a low $159.95, but still manages to squeeze a 12x (24-288mm f/3.4-6.9) optical zoom lens with stabilization into its svelte body. The rear LCD is 3 inches in size with a 460k-dot resolution, and the camera's battery can be charged in-camera the USB port. The CCD sensor limits video resolution to 720p, and limits the top ISO to 3200, so it isn't the most advanced camera you can get in terms of video capture or low-light shooting, but its zoom range and 24mm wide-angle coverage are both impressive at this price point. Fuji also promises that the autofocus system has been improved when compared to the previous-generation T400 model—by an impressive 20 percent.
All of the models support Fuji's latest EXR processing technology. This includes a number of artistic filters that you can apply to your photos, including a toy camera effect, a miniature effect, partial color capture, and soft focus.

Garza got off to a great start, hitting a pair of 3-pointers while scoring eight early points. Iowa made six 3s and hit 16 of 29 shots to stretch the lead to 42-31 at halftime.

Q: Pass dapper class to postgres stored procedure I have a stored procedure:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE insert_participant(j json)
LANGUAGE plpgsql
AS $$
BEGIN
    INSERT INTO participant (procedure_id,lot_id)SELECT procedure_id,lot_id  FROM json_populate_record(null::participant, j);
    COMMIT;
END;
$$;

And a class:
    public class Participant : BaseEntity
    {
        [Key]
        public int Procedure_id{ get; set; }
        public int Lot_id { get; set; }
    }

I'm trying the following:
        public void Add(Participant item)
        {
            using (IDbConnection dbConnection = Connection)
            {
                dbConnection.Open();
                dbConnection.Execute("insert_participant", item, commandType: CommandType.StoredProcedure);
            }
        }

But it fails and tells that there is no stored procedure with these paremeters.
What kind of parameter should I define when creating stored procedure in order for this to work?

A: Dapper is expecting to send parameters which match to the declared properties on the type - so in this case it is going to want to send Lot_id and Procedure_id. It looks like you want to send the entire object as JSON instead, in which case you probably want:
var json = YourChoiceOfJsonSerializeAPI(item);
// possibly: var json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(item);
dbConnection.Execute("insert_participant", new { json },
    commandType: CommandType.StoredProcedure);

This now has one member called json, so one parameter named json will be added.

Summer. One of the most packed seasons in terms of mainstream K-pop comebacks and releases. Last year, we talked about our favorite summer songs. This time around, we ask a different question: what is your favorite summer comeback trope? What about this trope appeals to you and which artist has used this trope and made it their own?
Pat: I love a good summer music video that features a beach. Maybe it's because I hate going to beaches, so I live through the music videos. Maybe it's because K-pop music videos make it seem like going to the beach isn't the hassle that it usually is. To nobody's surprise, my favorites are definitely Sistar's "Loving U" and "I Swear." I can think of no other group that I have come to equate to beaches and summer. The main reason why I love the summer trope of beaches is because the beach just screams fun – be it dancing with your girlfriends a la Sistar, hanging out with the bros while giving doggos a walk as seen in Infinite's "She's Back," or…running away from a UFO (B1A4's "Solo Day").
I also don't think it's a coincidence that the one and only AOA song that I like, and the only AOA music video I've actually watched more than once, was "Good Luck." I clicked the video because of the promise of beaches, which has never let me down, and I left with that chorus stuck in my head.
Hridi: I really like the use of colours in a music video if it's done well. I'm not a big fan of loud and bright colours (unless it's like element like bright scenery but muted outfits or vice versa. Basically contrast. Warm colours but with some tonal neutrals to keep it in balance or otherwise it hurts my eyes [I sound like such an old lady]) and I really like muted pastels. Like Big Bang's "Let's Not Fall in Love" was aesthetic goals af. Just seeing idols have fun and not on the angst train also tends to lift my spirits when I'm feeling down during the summer months. And yes to MV's filmed abroad – I like being like 'omg they went that location that's cool'.
Carly: Hridi, I too love colours but am kind of the opposite- I'm all for bright colours and definitely not a fan of neutrals! The more colour, the better, and brightness definitely has a sort of summery feel to me. I do like pastels, though for some reason, now I think of it, I associate them a bit with winter!
Summer releases are always a little strange for me, because I see them in Winter- our seasons in Australia are the opposite of South Korea and America. Most of the time it just lets me get super psyched for summer early, or start on the trend for the next season before it happens!
I love a great pool party- whether it's an at-home shindig like Big Bang's "We Like 2 Party" and 2NE1's "Do You Love Me?", a holiday hotel party along the SNSD "Party" lines, or simply a fairly straightforward –pretty-girls-in-pretty-places kind of clip like Sistar's "Touch My body". When those fluro bathers (South Australian term for a swim suit) came out on Park Bom & Hyorin, I wanted a pair so badly. Alas, twas not to be.
And it's not a proper MV, but I was actually (and still am) devastated to realise that "CaBi" was a CF and not a legitimate MV or opening song for a drama. I was all set to watch the 'show' until my sister laughed and told me it was only a CF… the pain is still real.
Brianna: I definitely agree with Carly when it comes to bright colors. Perhaps my infatuation with pastels is speaking, but I admire MVs with bright color schemes.
Another summer comeback trope I enjoy is filming abroad. I enjoy traveling a lot, so I think it's cool when K-pop MVs take advantage of beautiful scenery from abroad. Beauty lives in all parts of the world like Thailand (SNSD's "Party", again) and Hawaii (Sistar's "Loving U").
Carly: I'd like to belatedly add "Why" by Taeyeon to my pool themed summer hits! "Why" is a great song with a summer feel.
Other great concepts I enjoy: Sparklers ("Do You Love Me?", "Why") and Ice Cream/ Ice blocks ("Why," and "Abing-Abing" by Orange Caramel).
Janine: My favourite summer MV trope is evenly split between two pretty distinct features: driving and sleeveless shirts. My love of sleeveless shirts will remain unexamined and unexplained so for the purposes of this discussion my favourite thing is the driving.
Few things embody the feeling of freedom that accompanies a balmy summer like a tracking shot of fancy car with the top down. It reminds me of all the nights spent with my friends; singing along to music blasting from a car with all the windows down. I can survive a summer without a pool but it doesn't seem right without a wild ride.
B1A4's "Solo Day" features a Cadillac, aliens, and a whistle solo so I strongly recommend it. While Jay Park and Gray released "Drive" in October it's undeniably a summer song. Triple H embodied the spirit of a wild self destructive ride in the "365 Fresh" MV. "Oasis" by Crush ticks a lot of summer trope boxes but my favourite is the off road sequence with that black Jeep Rubicon X. To quote summer songstress, Paris Hilton, "that's hot". My final endorsement is "View" by SHINee which features more running (and sleeveless shirts) than driving but the sense of motion is palpable and I dare you not to enjoy it on a road trip.
I should mention, that even though I generally love colorful outfits for summery vibes, there's definitely a right way and a wrong way to do it. For instance, Zico and Babylon's outfits for "Boys and Girls" were atrocious. Zico's first outfit looked as if his stylist got the leftovers from LMFAO's last MV. Babylon's outfit near the end of the MV made him appear as if he was a Yakuza going through an identity crisis.
Jennifer: I feel like most K-pop summer songs are so peppy and upbeat that I usually start getting annoyed with them after a week or two, but some songs that always come to mind for summer are B2ST's "Beautiful Night" and SHINee's "View". There's an element of lightheartedness and unfiltered freedom that the songs and the videos both really capture and make me think of summer. B2ST's video is just B2ST wondering around a city and ending the night with a party, while SHINee's video is just SHINee with a gaggle of pretty girls just partying and doing whatever. I like that theme of spontaneity and just not thinking about repercussions. It's youthful and really captures summer, in my opinion.
