This is an excellent prime lens and a must have in your kitty of lenses. I would even recommend this as the only lens for your camera. Once you have experienced the awesome quality sharp and crisp pictures from this lens, other lenses will pale in comparison.
I have a Nikon D5000. This 35mm prime lens has replaced the 18-55mm kit lens as the default lens. Now, I use only this 35mm prime lens for everything.
Pictures from this lens are sharp, colourful and very lively. The bokeh effect is also satisfactory.
I like this lens a lot for it's ability to get great quality pictures in low light. This is especially evident when shooting indoors. Many a times, with the 18-55mm kit lens, I have had real difficulties shooting indoors. Flash spoils the naturalness of the photo and without it, the shutter speed needs to be so slow that unless you have a tripod, you won't capture good photos. But the 35mm prime lens works wonders in these situations. It gathers more light and allows you to shoot at higher shutter speeds. This means better, blur-free photos..
Don't even think twice about this lens. It is an absolute must have. Once you get this, you might find all your other lenses redundant. :-)
Some people might be confused with 35mm vs 50mm prime lens. If you have a 18-55mm kit lens, set the focal lengths to both 35 and 50mm and then see how much area is covered. You'll get to know the difference. The 50mm will have a more zoomed in view as compared to 35mm. For outdoor shots, this won't make a difference. For indoor photography, this makes a lot of difference as you may not have too much space to step quite far away from the subject(s) to frame the photo correctly. I find that 35mm is perfect for both indoor and outdoor photography.
If your camera has an inbuilt auto-focus motor (D90/D7000 and above), then you better go for the other 50mm lens (Nikkor AF 50mm f/1.8D lens) which costs about Rs.6100. That model does not have auto-focus motor built into the lens, but since your camera has it, you will save quite a bit of money..
For cameras like D40/D3000/D3100/D5000/D5100 which do not have built in auto focus motor in the camera, this particular lens (Nikkor AF-S DX 35mm f/1.8G lens) is the best.
This lens will truly make you a better photographer.
Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G Lens (Standard Lens)
The literature about this lens fascinated me to the extent that I was tempted to experience it. My appreciations to all who wrote about this lens here and elsewhere.
My background.
I started clicking in 1973 with Agfa Click III. Had used many - Olympus OM 40 P with Olympus Zuiko 55mm f1.2. & 85mm f2 lenses. Zenith with Helios lenses, etc. Now using Nikon D3200.
Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G Lens
This is a fixed focal length (not a zoom lens) with a super silent AF motor built inside the lens. Its filter thread size is 52mm.
The lens lacks an aperture ring. But the following aperture settings are possible on the Aperture Priority mode from the camera body 22, 20, 18, 16, 14, 13, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7.1, 6.3, 5.6, 5, 4.5, 4, 3.5, 3.2, 2.8, 2.5, 2.2, 2 and1.8.
It has a focus ring and you can manually fine adjust the focus if you desire so. Fine focusing is fantastic. But the focus ring is narrow and appears inconvenient to me.
The package comes with a black plastic lens hood and a lens pouch. It also has a manual & warranty card.
Nikon had packed the lens inside the carton such that the lens stays 2 cms above the bottom of the pack; 1.5 cms inside from the sides of the pack and more than 6 cms deep from the top of the pack – exemplary packing. No fear of reasonable impact damage from top bottom or sides. The Nikon carton is factory sealed.
It comes with a 2 year service warranty.
Flipkart (WS Retail) had used an air bubble packing to safely pack the Nikon carton. So no possibility of damage due to reasonable impacts during handling and transit.
35 mm DX is equivalent to 52.5 mm lens in DX format D 3200 body
The Nikon 50 mm f 1.8 D, which is around Rs 6000/-, is also cheaper, sharper and crisper, but will not auto focus in D 3200 body, since D 3200 body doesn't have an auto focus motor incorporated into it.
The Nikon 50 mm f 1.8 G will auto focus and is almost the similar price of this lens. But 50 mm lens in a DX body is not standard; it is equivalent to 75 mm lens (or 80 mm lens) and becomes a portrait lens.
This lens is a G lens where as the 50 mm f 1.8 D costing Rs 6000 is a D lens. The G lens produces images with beautiful backdrops and splendid bokehs than D lens. Of course G is costlier than D.
One drawback is, this lens lacks VR (vibration reduction) wrt 18-105mm lens; so you need a tripod or at least a monopod for very low light situations.
Since it is equivalent to 52.5 mm lens (35 x 1.5 = 52.5) it is a standard lens; and presence of VR would have been an added advantage for handheld photography in low light situations. Another positive side of the same coin is absence of VR makes the lens rugged inside its housing.
I feel that a wide lens that DOESN'T need VR would be 23.33mm (35 ÷ 1.5 = 23.33) or wider ones. But it is Nikon R&D team to think about this.
When compared with Nikon 18-105 lens, this Nikon 35 mm f 1.8 G is producing brighter, sharper, crisper and colourful images and definitely superior to kit lens at 35 mm in bokeh effect.
For night shots and low light shots without flash this is superb lens w.r.t. (w.r.t. = with respect to) to kit lens. It produces splendid images in low ambient (natural) light. I prefer ambient light to flash since it produces natural images.
At ISO 6400 and Hi1 settings, this lens renders night shots with stunning image quality.
At f 5.6 and smaller apertures, this 35 mm Nikkor glass gives exemplary sharpness at this price
As the lens gets wider, naturally light enters the camera from a wider area, and the image gets brighter w.r.t. tele lens.
More light falling on the sensor translates into a faster shutter speed and blur free pictures.
More light on a more Megapixel (24 MP) sensor further translates into stunning image quality and better cropping possibility.
My other choice was a Nikon AF-S DX Micro NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8G Lens. Reviews say that you have to get more close to the subject which is a disadvantage for general purpose photography. Mover over I can buy a 52 mm close up lens filter or reverse lens adapter and get the same purpose done. But if get a lot of spare money I will definitely buy this lens because I love close up shots. But, not for now.
Above all this 35 mm lens is lighter in weight.
My purpose is general photography, family shots, outdoor vacation photography and indoor shots like meeting, family function, etc without flash.
So I opted for 35 mm f 1.8 G as the prime standard lens for my DX format camera. It also has an angle of vision almost near to the older 50 mm lens of Film SLR camera (same for FX format DSLR) which I am used to, since 1980's.
This lens is MADE IN CHINA & imported by Nikon India Pvt Ltd in Aug 2013.
Flipkart (WS Retail) was perfect in receiving, processing and dispatching this order.
Blue Dart handled this shipment with professional standards.
Cost Rs.12440. Ordered on 29.09.2013 Delivered on 02.10.2013
I mean it. This lens will truly make you a better photographer. Its a simple prime lens(no zoom) and takes pictures with astonishing clarity. Its one of those lenses that almost all professional photographers have in their kit. After reading a lot of reviews I went for this, and now I understand why they have it.
At larger apertures(f/1.8,f/2) you get amazing bokeh effects, almost like the ones you see in magazines. Also, I'd strongly recommend this for low light photography.
(35mm vs 50mm)
Many folks are confused between these 2. Both are equally great lens. I chose 35mm since it gives a slightly wider viewing angle. For outdoor photography the difference is almost negligible. For indoors, with the 50mm you might have to step back quite a bit from the subject.
First of all this is a single focal length (no Zoom), small size, larger aperture lens. They are usually very sharp 9way better than zoom), easy to carry, cheaper than zoom and excellent for low light condition. No vibration reduction but with this you hardly need. I use it with my D3100 at aperture priority mode at f2.8 and carry in my backpack always. Except that tiny bird on a far away tree branch or an ant on a flower petal or 20 people inside a tiny room, it captures everything beautifully. Technically, it has metal mount, rubber gasket to prevent dust, close focus ~1 feet and rounded blades for good out of focus objects (bokeh). With this at 1600ISO setting, nights are photographable with a quality you never thought possible. 50mm f1.8 is similarly good but meant for Full frame Nikon. Angle of view of 50mm f1.8 with D3100 (APS-C format) is lower and thus does not cover many type of photo. As I said in the title this will spoil you and you will find every other lens are not sharp enough, too heavy and too costly for their image quality.
When I ordered mine, I never thought this lens would turn out to be one of my favorites. It exceeded my expectations on all grounds. I use a DX camera body (D7000) and I needed a lens with effective focal length of 50mm for street and home function photography. This lens is light, superb sharp, silent and dot on focus with great accuracy. Manual over-ride is a boon in some situations. For night shots, you will never thank any lens more in this price range. I call it an Owl's eye.
Go ahead and pick this lens, you will never regret your purchase.
This is the best lens you can buy for your DX camera in a budget, and believe me you got to have it in your lens kit. 1.8 f stop produce awesome picture with clear depth of field.
Are you getting confused between 35mm G and 50mm G ?
If you are getting confuse between getting 50mm or 35mm (both are price almost same) you should buy 35mm, because the 50mm is FX format camera lens (read the difference between dx and fx format if you don't know it) so the magnification of 35mm lens on DX camera is same what will a 50mm will give on FX camera, hence both will work same on the camera they are designed for but 50mm will give more magnification(zoom) on dx format, and in my experience, it is easy to go closer to subject rather than going far for closer shots, and 50mm on dx camera will prove worth less in indoor photography.
Firstly, thanks to Flipkart and WS Retail. As usual, excellent price, packaging and delivery! I bought this for around 7.5k, and I believe that 7-8.5 k is the correct price for this lens overall.
Now, if you own a Nikon DSLR with a DX sensor, don't hesitate, get this lens. It is a gem. At the price of 7-8.5k, it is a huge bargain too. It's light, small, sharp, and fast in focus and aperture. No reason at all not to buy this lens!
If confused between 50 or 35 mm, just think where you will take photos most. If indoors you should get the 35, but if outdoors get the 50. This has to do with the distance you would need for framing your subjects. This is my opinion, frankly, but whichever of these two prime lenses you buy, you cannot go wrong. They are both great and at their current price, no reason at all not to own at least one of them!
Why buy a fast prime lens? Firstly, low light photography. But also professional looking out of focus backgrounds and subject isolation -- the 50 mm has better quality of background rendering (bokeh), but the differences are subtle and won't get in the way of great photos.
Only con is, yes, there is some color fringing if you have strong highlights which are just in front or behind the subject (otherwise this is not visible) -- this is normal with all but the very highest quality lenses which would then cost many-many times more, so just frame carefully whenever you shoot in harsh (like mid day) lighting. This is the only time you will notice these since all other forms of color fringing is automatically removed by all current Nikon DSLRs automatically (other brand DSLRs don't remove this).
Two tips: If you have to focus manually, switch to live view and zoom in, half press the shutter and then fine-tune the focusing manually (remember you DON'T have to switch the lens to manual focus for this). It's very easy. Second, remember to turn ON lens correction in the camera settings, it is turned OFF by default!
Happy shooting :)
Was awaiting the release of 50mm 1.8G, But couldn't resist the urge to own the fast lens. The product reached me well and securely packed within the promised time. The discount is better that the local store near y house and that's why I opted. Also I can keep the warranty card clean.
Excellent service flipkart team!!! keep it up
Excellent affordable prime lens for DX cameras, to take portraits, shoot kids and group photos from a distance. Must if you are shooting an occasion (b'day or a friends marriage) where you would cover people than landscapes/animals :)
This should be the first lense to buy after you buy a DX camera. (Most inexperienced think that 200mm zoom is of more use - but I would not recomment 200mm or a 300mm as your "first" additional lense unless you have passion for wildlife photography).
I have a 50mm f/1.8D which I love to bits. It is small, light and performs very well for the price. The issue is that it gives a focal length of 75mm on my DX cameras. When I am into an aimless shooting schedule, I end up having to carry two cameras and the 50mm finds my way onto my FX camera. However there are times when I go out only with my DX camera for general photography and the 50mm becomes limiting as it is not wide enough.
This is the situation I am trying to remedy with this lens. On my DX cameras, the effective focal length now becomes a healthy 53mm which is good enough. Which means that in a one camera situation I have the standard focal length.
This is my feedback on the lens:
+ve Sharp
+ve Lightweight
+ve Silent
+ve Lovely bokkeh for the price
+ve Even though it does not affect me, this lens will autofocus on all Nikon DSLRs
+ve Not tested in low light, but this is some seriously fast glass
-ve Build feels flimsy, specially the hood
-ve I might be nitpicking, but I like to have the aperture ring so that, maybe I can use the lens on a film camera
-ve Why only DX, Nikon? When are we going to have good alternatives for FX that do not force us to break the bank? The 35mm f/2 is a very old design and the other is very expensive.
In my opinion, the lens' positives far outweigh the negatives. Go ahead and buy this instead of the 50mm lenses if you plan to stick to the DX format for some time.
On Flipkart - superb experience with the delivery of this product.

State of EFC
Sean, if I had the solutions I'd be in Moyes' place, not working in a bank lol.
What little success we have had in the derby over the years has been down to harrying the hell out of the RS, not giving them time on the ball, forcing them into mistakes. I didn't see enough of that yesterday. Were EFC up for it? Maybe, but whatever game plan we had just did not work, and although I hate to say it, some of our team lack quality when compared to the RS. Heart only gets you so far.
I was amazed at Moyes saying that the atmosphere in the squad was flat etc last week. Cahill went public and said that wasn't true. Enough people are ready to drag the club down without Moyes doing it too. He should be talking things up. Interesting comment from him today about the game showing what can be done with 100 million. Clearly the money issue has been eating away at him for ages.
I agree, I think Moyes' game playing over his contract is unsettling the team. In a sense though I can't blame him. He is very employable and knows it, and if he doubts either the club's ambition or its ability to deliver on that ambition financially (which is really the situation), why should he hang around flogging a dead horse. He looks around the league and sees money flying around - look at the spending over the last couple of years by Villa, Man City, Portsmouth, Sunderland, Newcastle jesus even Fulham, and that's before you get to Chelsea, Man U and the RS with the Champions League annual subsidies, rich owners and/or merchandising earnings. Arsenal have not spent that much, but that's because they have a fantastic scouting system and get the talent early and nurture it. Imagine what they would have to pay today for the likes of Febregas, Adebayor and Walcott. With their new stadium they are coining it. In contrast, we have a poxy mediocre stadium proposal which is tied up in red tape, no way of earning any extra cash because Goodison limits us, no prospect of any earnings from Europe (even if we do progress, which is doubtful, we'll just about earn our bus fare back home like last year), a Chairman who is skint compared to most others, too small a squad, some players out of form and low on confidence, and a manager who is keeping the club dangling over his contract. It's a pretty farcical position we have got ourselves into over the years. I don't know how old you are, but I was around in glory years of the 80s when we were one of the Big 5, had the money to sign anyone we wanted, and were winning trophies for fun. We thought it would never end, yet all of that was squandered by the time the EPL came along, and we well and truly missed the financial boat. Unless we get picked up by some Arabs or a dodgy Russian, it's not going to change either.
Would Moyes get a better job? Depends how you define better. There aren't many clubs with a longer history and tradition, but there are lots of clubs with more cash and better stadiums. It's all about timing of course, and he can bide his time if he has to. One of the Glasgow jobs is a definite possibility I think at some point, but with the managerial merry go round, an EPL job is not out of the question. The only problem with your chuck him out view is this in my opinion - who could you realistically get in who is any better?? Who will take on the job in view of the finances?
I am no tactical genius so I am not sure about your comment there. He's sticking with the 1 striker formation home and away, and it didn't do us much harm last year. Maybe it's a bit too predictable now, and it's time to sacrifice a midfielder and put in Saha or Vaughan/Anichebe with the Yak. Who do you drop though?
I am trying not to be too doom and gloom here, but the club is in a mess on the pitch and even more so off it, and it's a crying shame.

After a very long absence from these columns, here's Bob Woolley of Asheville, N.C.: "Subject: It's been too long.
"I'm in the middle of the trip of a lifetime: two weeks touring the British Isles with my father (91), brother, and sister. We siblings are all in our 50s.
"Today we were at Warwick Castle. I stopped in a restroom. I was in a stall, taking care of business. I heard a soft knock on the door.
"I said: 'Yes?'
"No reply from the knocker.
"Another soft knock. Again: 'Yes?' from me. Again no reply.
"I heard a few quick steps being taken by small feet, followed by the quiet voice of a small boy -- very, very British: 'Daddy, there's somebody in there.' A pause, then he added: 'Sounds like a poo.
Not so long ago, not so far away
GopherLink of Dresser, Wis.: "In 1969, according to a Minnesota Daily story I found, there were only 87 black students at the U of M, most of them athletes. As a member of the Gopher football practice team, I knew several black athletes and was a good friend with one of the black football players.
"One January school day, I was walking by Morrill Hall, where I saw a crowd was gathering. Several Gopher football players were linked arm-in-arm in front of the entrance. One of them called to me, and the next thing I knew, I was a part of the 'protective barricade' they had formed. I asked what was going on, and a teammate said: 'I think the Indians took over the bursar's office.
"I later learned that the main group that had taken over Morrill Hall were black activists, members of the Afro-American Action Committee. Amongst other things, they were demanding curriculum reform, recruitment, scholarships and financial aid for black students. There was an American Indian connection as well. The Morrill Hall takeover also led to the creation of the nation's first American Indian Studies department at the U of M.

Our times
Ye Old Woodchopper of Eagan: "The other day, The Bride of 45 Years found a new recipe online for zucchini and wanted to try it.
"It was more complicated than normal, as it required baking for a certain time, adding additional ingredients, and then broiling for an additional period.
"She asked me to monitor her work so that she didn't make any mistakes and ruin the item.
"As we worked on it, I noticed that she had her iPad set up in the kitchen, with the recipe displayed, and was referring to it regularly.
"I guess we can get rid of that shelf of about 25 cookbooks in the kitchen cupboard and those metal boxes of recipe cards as we fast-forward into the 21st century.

Ask Al B Division
We took a note (unofficial business) from our Official Attorney, Mr. Tulkinghorn: "Here's a question for your Official Ornithologist:
"Why or how can a couple of little swallows (?) chase/attack a hawk that is 10 times their size? Why doesn't it just turn on them and grab them with its beak or talons and say 'Enough already!'?"
BULLETIN BOARD SAYS: Our Official Ornithologist, as most of you well know by now, is Al B of Hartland, whose reply we have received:
"Dear Mr. Tulkinghorn,
"I watched a kingbird hammer a red-tailed hawk. It was a serious game of angry birds. The kingbird was fighting outside of its weight class, as the hawk might have weighed 25 times more. The kingbird used the proper technique. It attacked from above, staying away from the hawk's deadly talons. Some aggressive birds make contact with the raptors, which makes a counterattack even more difficult.
"I have seen hawks flip over in the air and present talons toward hectoring crows.
"Is a songbird the Chuck Norris of the avian world? Probably. A songbird's secret to harassing a hawk, other than technique, is quickness and maneuverability. It's why most centers do not guard point guards in basketball.
"My mother advised that it's often wise to walk away from angry confrontations.
"Maybe hawk mothers teach that it's sometimes wise to just fly away from hostile encounters.

The ARROWS visionImagine you entering in a room.
Red Bull simulatorYou are now accelerating slowly off the pits into the track. It feels right as the hydraulic pedal gives way offering a realistic sensation, while the wheel gives a fantastic feeling and an unbelievably precise steering of the car.
What is ARROWS
ARROWS upgrades the RC model racing concept, whereby the user remotely operates an actual racecar model from inside a cockpit simulator, using the visuals of an HD onboard camera system.
ARROWS aim in the creation of the realistic ever driving simulation experience, operating RC cars in an FPV environment, immersing the user into the onboard world.
The model
Toyota TF-103
Vintage 1957 Ferrari Testarossa.
Mercedes-Benz Actros race truck.
The optical / telemetry systemIt refers to an integral HD transmission/projection system and get distinguished in the onboard and the land sub-system.
The control room
From the control room the user will be able to operate the model on the track via an adapted RC transmitter arrangement, utilizing the visual and data feedback from the onboard optical and telemetry devices.
Located in the middle of the room is the cockpit, equipped with a racing type driver's seat and steering wheel / pedals arrangement. Driver's actions will be replicated to the RC transmitter and onto the model car.
A semicircular screen 20 ft wide x 5 ft high (6 x 1,5 mtrs), is positioned in front and around the cockpit, giving an unparallel immersing feeling to the driver.
The impressive 170 deg view of live footage transmitted from the onboard system will be projected onto the screen through an overhead projector.
The control room.
The ARROWS racing system
An ARROWS racing system is the deployment of a number of arrow units.
Apart from the construction of the needed ARROW units, will involve land infrastructure to house the system, including a race track and other supporting structures.
The ARROWS system.
ARROWS racing tracks will be custom made, ideally being the reproduction of existing tracks equally scaled down.
Why is ARROW unique
ARROWS aspire to offer their users an environment closest possible to the experience of driving a real racecar.
ARROWS' key features are:
1- It involves the remote controlling of a real model car via a cockpit simulator. This is actual reality as opposed to virtual reality all other cockpit simulators offer.
2- The ultra wide HD FPV visual system that literally immerses the user into the driver's world, offering the drivers' perspective.
3- Stereo reproduction of the onboard audio.
4- Actuators in the control room will allow the cockpit to roll, pitch and yaw, replicating the actual onboard conditions.
5- The size of it. Imposingly big models allow the easier replication of the real, thus offering an even more realistic driving behavior.
6- The high quality standards applying to all ARROW units.
7- The innovating way it becomes available to its users, not requiring purchase of any sort.
8- With the exemption of temperature extremes under which the onboard equipment may malfunction, ARROWS are otherwise all weather. The models and equipment are water resistant while the users are kept high, dry and air-conditioned in the control rooms.
Immersive view in a RedBull simulator
What is the value to the users
On all levels, ARROWS aim solely to the high quality entertainment of it user.
ARROWS serve the same need the traditional RC racing, PC gaming and karting do, in that to get the user closer possible to the experience of a race car driver. Each approaches the common target from its own perspective, thus producing at the end completely different results.
ARROWS adjacent markets
ARROWS stands out in suggesting a unique development model of the RC and the RC racing concept. Identifying the limitations of the competition, ARROWS offer innovating services that bridge the gap the traditional RC racing and PC gaming offer.
The determinant for ARROWS is that it uses the best characteristics of the three, at the same time avoiding their limitations.
The ARROW approach
Irrespective what you compare it to ARROWS propose solutions to rivals' major limitations by offering:
Use / driving feeling
Realistic driving and racing conditions due to:
- Unparallel driving sensation offered by the HD immersive visuals.
- Interactive feedback on the car's motion and driving conditions.
Precise controlling of the model, the transmitter being able to replicate the minor steering corrections the user performs in the control room.
Thereafter, beyond the general car driving skills, one need not have any special dexterity in handling the car.
HD onboard camera
High quality models
Either in competition or in exercise, all models of any given class are equally constructed, tuned, serviced and maintained to the highest standards.
ARROW units are available to all users at a general rental fee. Although optional, no purchase is required.
All car models are race ready and equally tuned. User will not need to invest extra time to the model.
A human drives a real model car in a real race track.
ARROWS model is a miniature racecar and the system aims in replicating the sensation of the actual conditions on the car. Technology is used only to transfer the optics and reproduce the onboard environment into the driver's cockpit. Thereafter each man is for himself, the system neither assists controlling the car, nor does it offer a reboot option if things turn bad.
Without confusing competitiveness with recklessness, the users will be encouraged to drive the models to their limits, without the fear of accident or of personal injury.
The absence of fear will liberate the driver to explore and discover the model's as well as their own limits, making them better drivers on all levels.
Racing ARROWS is a social event. The ARROW tracks will offer a place for all members to meet each other, exchange ideas, discuss issues, propose solutions, exercise their skills and of course race.
ARROWS celebrate the true spirit of car races.
- You are racing against people with realistic reflexes, stubbornness, limitations, bound to make mistakes and wrong estimations when under pressure.
- The driving skill, strategy, agility, perception and reflexes of the driver determine the winner.
- No matter how aggressively a driver races, needs to take calculated risk, otherwise mistakes costs positions or even the race itself.
- Winning or finish position are at stake until the very end of the race, since pressure in the front may create opportunities for the followers to improve their position or even claim the win, thus giving to all participants an incentive to fight the race to the end.
- The tire and tarmac condition, the temperature, the traction, the weather conditions on the track and the way these affect the driving behavior of the racecars, are actual not simulated.
Users with a background in RC, PC or carting will be thrilled, enjoying the comparable advantages ARROWS offer. For all the rest, it will be a phenomenal experience.
Once introduced to them, people will long to play ARROWS again.
How will ARROWS be traded.
ARROW units will be rented to their users on an hourly or semi-hourly basis, for either exercising their driving skills, or for racing in regional, national or international grand prix.
Where the idea originates
The idea was born when we came across the simulator on the Redbull racing site, a state of the art driver-in-loop computer simulator, used by the Redbull drivers as part of their acclimatization to the race racks exercise. The amazing part was that the drivers using it would still get the same upper body workout they would get, had they be driving the real thing. And that is the closer it can get to the essence of simulation.
The RedBull simulator
The next step was to apply the concept onto a real racecar situation, where the RC model cars were the ideal candidate.
The breakthrough was achieved by the FPV technology that has now matured to offer equipment that can transmit with almost zero latency, enabling the real time remote controlling in high speeds.
Quality been a key issue to the entire project, all visuals had to meet the HD standards.
Land receiver set
The quality of the service, the realism and the feeling generated as well as the level of competition inspired will be the determinant that will attract users from the rival entertainment markets.
ARROWS aim in the creation of a network of enthusiast and devoted user-players, with primal criteria of their choice the uniqueness of the experience offered.
Why big
In RC size counts and the reasons are simple.
Equipment size constraints
Even the latest FPV technology offering HD transmission is still too heavy and bulky for the chassis of the traditional 1:5 scaled models.
HD onboard transmitter
From the construction side
Bigger, stronger frames and more durable suspension systems coupled with more reliable engines, rendering the models less prompt to damages and in turn less costly to service and maintain.
From the drivers perspective
High powered, with better power distribution and greater levels of torque engines coupled with heavy duty drive trains produce faster and better performers.
Heavier models and equipped with excellent tread tires from the carting industry will offer higher grip, giving an even more realistic road behavior.
From the spectators view
Car racing is not just limited to drive the models. Bigger sizes are more realistic and far greater to watch.
What we apply for
Please watch the video presentation where all will be revealed to you, including the preposterous 100 million Euro claim.
Irrespective of your participation to our campaign, equally important to us will be the feedback we will receive from your end.
Please visit us on www.arrows-csrs.com sending us your views on technical and operational matters or you general comments on the project.
ARROWS project development stages
Stage 1
The first stage is by far the most important of all as it will provide the foundation for the entire project.
In this stage we establish interest and collect market information by:
1- Identify ARROWS market niche and establish there is a market for it.
2- Get to analyze ARROW market and built the profile of the average ARROW user.
To do so we set up an internet based polling for ARROWS, through a crowd funding platform.
Voting on Indiegogo we succeed in obtaining:
- Transparency in the polling procedure and the registration of participants.
- Safe keeping for the funds collected and guaranteed refund back to the donators.
- Establishing communication channel with supporters, breaking the ice and gaining
trust for the project and the people behind it.
- Serves as reference for ARROWS campaigns to follow.
At the same time we create:
1- Customer awareness for ARROWS.
2- A supporter's network for investing, marketing & advertising purposes.
3- Reference for our campaigns to follow.
Stage 2
On the second stage we will apply to you for the creation of a fully operational ARROW unit prototype:
Complete ARROWS unit.
1- The optical system.
We have been granted free access to the equipment the optical system consists of for testing and demonstration purposes, so for this we only need to design the onboard unit mounting system, the units docking station and the camera protection cover.
The onboard optical unit.
2- The control room
Being in fact a compilation of existing devices, for creating the control room prototype we will need to produce the repeater system that connects the driver's controls to the RC transmitter, as well as the car movement reproduction system.
The control room – Multimatic's VI Driversim simulator.
3- The racecar model.
Before we go on to produce any of the above described subsystems, the star of the project need to be created first. The race car model will be the least expensive unit to built, but at the same time the most time consuming of all, simply because it needs to be built from scratch.
Peugeot 908
Stage 3
Having created the ARROW unit prototype will trigger the commencement of the third stage, which is to launch a funding application for creating the first ARROW racing system.
A complete ARROW system with race track and supporting structures
What do you get
As stated above, ARROWS first development stage is not a fund raising petition. As such, no perks are offered for your participation to this campaign, other than our sincere appreciation for your participation and support.
Perks will be set in the development stages to follow.

HD: High Definition.
PC: Personal computer.
- What we ask of you.
Vote for ARROWS.
Send us feed back.
Spread the word for the project.
- Why do we need the votes for?
The goal is to predict sales for ARROWS.
If we can do that, we have proof of the project's financial viability, meaning it makes sense to invest in ARROWS.
Having established that will assist financing and marketing the project.
Moreover polling for ARROWS will offer proof that ARROWS fulfil a real need in the marketplace (in English, that there is a market for what we intend to built).
- Why not getting someone to do it for us?
There are a number of problems associated with what we want to achieve, that renders such a direct approach impractical or even impossible for us.
Sales prediction issues.
ARROWS is a new product and has no established market for it.
As a result sales predictions need to be based on sales projections of products traded and services offered from adjacent markets.
Location issues
In our case, even identifying the products adjacent markets does not suffice.
ARROWS being an international product, we would still be left to decide which country's market to research.
There are about thirty countries eligible for developing ARROWS. Guided by the strong presence of adjacent markets, ten of them are the most promising.
Reliability and cost issues
Even if we were to overlook the limitations and constraints posed, we would still be left with two major disadvantages; being an analysis of adjacent markets, it would still produce debatable sales projections, while a research of such magnitude would have been financially impossible for us.
Out of the box approach.
The problem we faced went all the way down to the root of the marketing approach, and the way to deal with such type of problems is to use unorthodox solutions.
We came up with the idea of reversing the marketing rules and instead of us identifying the market, to somehow invite the market identify itself.
We are therefore contacting the individuals the market likely consist of, asking them to register their presence, their interest and their support to the project.
- What do we expect from this campaign?
Do we mean to say that we believe we will be able to register all potential customers interested in ARROWS through this campaign?
No, of course not, it does however offer a starting point, a basis upon which we can start building interest and trust for the project.
- Ok for voting, but why voting through Indiegogo.
Data collected will be used in the projects business plan used for both financing and marketing the project.
It is therefore absolutely imperative to be able to prove the votes have been collected in an irreproachable way.
Indiegogo, being an independent median, can offer the required transparency in the registration procedure.
But engaging Indiegogo, we get benefited in more than one ways:
- Have Indiegogo acknowledged as trusted funding grounds.
- Our failed campaign, that has nevertheless attracted interest, will be a valuable tool when negotiating potential fund raising contracts.
- It serves as reference to our fund aiming campaigns to follow.
In addition we achieve:
- Secure handling of all amounts exchanged.
- Introducing the project to a huge audience and earn customer awareness for it.
- Creating a supporter's network for investing, marketing & advertising purposes.
- What is the Indiegogo procedure.
For those not privy to crowd funding, allow us to give a quick guide on how it works.
ARROWS' fixed amount campaign is launched in the platform for a period of 45 days and the general public is invited to vote for it.
Those wishing to participate will pledge, through Paypal, one euro into the project's account.
Please note that although your account is debited, this is NOT an actual payment, but a pledge of such payment. Being such and since no money gets actually transferred, your pledges are not burdened with bank charges, commissions or any other type of handling charges.
In a regular campaign, pledges remain in limbo state until the end of the campaign period and only gets cashed out if the campaign matures, that is to say if the total pledges collected cover the initially pleaded amount.
At the target of 100,000,000 euros we have set, the campaign is destined to fail, so at the end of the campaign period all pledges get cancelled and the respective amounts get refunded – IN FULL – back to the supporters' accounts.
- What do you vote for?
Now for the one hundred million euros question of what you vote for, one cannot overlook the obvious, that at this point we have nothing to present to you but a plan of something we intend to create. Since you are invited to vote for an idea, the vision of ARROWS, there is certain assumptions you need to make:
- You need to consider the product will be built to match the specifications described.
- That it will be built to meet the expectations arose to each one of you when reading the description.
Do we ask too much of you to consider?
Do we promise things that we may not be able to deliver?
Not really. ARROWS by its nature is a product heavily dependent on Research & Development. Being under a continuous evolution, it will strive to keep in pace with the technological advances on all levels so as to maintain concept's high standards and unique character.
- What is the value of your vote?
What we need to achieve is to distinguish your participation from a quick and faceless "like" on the project, for that we ask you to actively participate by actually following up the entire procedure, pledging the vote money.
The "vote with money" procedure has more than a symbolic function, because irrespective of the fact that the entire amounts will be refunded in full, it still take the voter to undergo an actual payment process, using up his time, a process that adds value to both the voter and the cast vote.
- Why becoming project's communicants.
We want to create a broad base of ARROWS supporters, so we can both claim and prove the existence of a trend for ARROWS.
To achieve this, we intend to set up a global campaign on ARROWS.
As you may have already figured out, at this stage ARROWS project can only be promoted by word of mouth, from the click of a mouse, a tap on a touch pad or a screen.
As such this global campaign can only be generated and fueled by its own potential users, by you.
So, on top of your voting, equally if not more importantly, we need you to spread the word on ARROWS, to your community, friends, colleagues, class or team mates. But always to people you know and to people who with you share common interests, who are likely to take an interest in the project, so they will also become ARROWS communicants.
The project is not spammed into the internet in search of support. It is targeted to specific audience basis their interests. In that respect one may find invitations to visit Indiegogo site and watch the ARROWS presentation, in forums and sites associated to RC car modeling and racing, PC racecar simulation and Karting forums, as well as to forums related to auto technical and racing issues.
So unless you have seen the link to this project in a forum, the invitation comes from someone you know, sharing with you his excitement on the project.
Equally this is NOT an invitation to spam on our behalf. We ask you to promote the project in a similar manner, that is to say to targeted inform those in your community that are likely to be interested in such a project.
We ask you to communicate ARROWS for the exact same reasons you voted for it.
Thank you for your time.

Levels of Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors in Singapore Following a National Intervention Programme. (Theme Paper)
Cutter, Jefferey, Tan, Bee Yian, Chew, Suok Kai, Bulletin of the World Health Organization
Voir page 914 le resume en francais. En la pagina 914 figura un resumen en espanol.
The island of Singapore has undergone rapid socioeconomic development since independence in 1965. For example, the per capita gross national product, adjusted to 1998 prices, rose from S$ 1618 in 1965 to S$ 38 170 in 1998 (US$ 1.0 = S$ 1.70). In 1998, the infant mortality rate was 4.1 per 1000 live births and life expectancy at birth was 79 years for females and 75 years for males. Other 1998 indicators include an adult literacy rate of 93%, and 13 doctors per 10000 population (1). The total population of Singapore in 1998 was 3.87 million and it had the second highest population density in the world (after Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China) at 5965 people per [km.sup.2]. The resident population consisted of 77% Chinese, 14% Malay, 7.6% Indian, and 1.4% other ethnic groups. The main causes of mortality in Singapore mirrored those of developed countries, with cancer, ischaemic heart disease, and cerebrovascular disease responsible for 57% of all deaths in 1998 (2). These three diseases have been the main causes of death in Singapore since the 1970s.
In 1991, a national committee was appointed to review the national health plan for the 1990s, and one of the key recommendations emphasized health promotion and disease prevention (3). This was followed by the National Healthy Lifestyle Programme in 1992, which adopted a multisectoral approach involving government ministries and organizations, health professionals, employers, unions, and community organizations. These sectors worked together to provide information, skills training, and the social and physical environment necessary to encourage healthy living by Singaporeans. The programme included extensive use of the mass media to promote healthy lifestyles, legislative measures to discourage smoking, and widespread school, workplace, and community health promotion programmes. The programmes emphasized healthy diets, regular physical exercise, and measures to discourage smoking.
In 1992, the Ministry of Health also conducted the first National Health Survey (NHS), a population-based cross-sectional survey to measure the prevalence of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, obesity, smoking, physical inactivity, and hypercholesterolaemia -- all cardiovascular disease risk factors. Findings from the survey provided baseline data for subsequent evaluation of the effectiveness of the National Healthy Lifestyle Programme. In 1998, six years after the launch of the National Healthy Lifestyle Programme, a second NHS was conducted to determine whether the risk factors in the population had changed.
The NHS was a cross-sectional survey conducted between September and November, 1998. The reference population was 2.16 million Chinese, Malay, and Indian Singapore residents aged 18-69 years. Six centres around the island of Singapore were selected as field sites for the survey. Details of the survey methodology have been described elsewhere (4).
Determination of sample size
We calculated that a sample size of 5000 respondents would be required to detect a 10-15% change from baseline for most of the diseases and risk factors with 80% power. The prevalence of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and other cardiovascular risk factors (obesity, smoking, and physical inactivity) measured in the 1992 NHS was used as baseline levels. To account for potential non-response during the survey, we estimated that at least 10000 households would need to be approached to obtain the target sample size.
Sample selection
The sample selection was divided into two phases. In phase I, a sample of 11 200 household addresses was selected from the National Database on Dwellings. The sample selection was based on a modified two-stage stratified design. For the first stage, sampling divisions close to the six selected survey centres were chosen and households within each division were stratified by house type (a proxy for socioeconomic status) and systematically selected in the second stage. …

I can use "gm animate ..." to display a series of images - but always at top left
I can use "gm display ..." to display images at a specific location - and even display a series once
But I can't figure out how to display a series of images continuously at a specific location
As well, it would be nice to be able to display in a set frame and set the background colour.
Does anyone have any suggestions ?
Use an argument like '-geometry +200+200' to tell animate and display where to position its window. This is an X11 thing.
As far as the set frame goes, I am not sure if everything you want is currently possible. The -backdrop option will take over the entire screen and then -geometry can still be used to place within the screen.
Thanks for your response.
With gm animate, -geometry +200+200 (or similar) does not position the display, which remains at top left. It also trucates images that fall outside the dimensions of the first image displayed, if the designated dimension in -geometry is larger than that actually displayed for the first image.
E.g., for
gm animate -geometry "300x400+100+50" ...
with the first image 400x600, the window is set by the first image, and will actually be 267x400 (since proportions are kept by default).
An image that is wider than 400 but shorter than 600 will be proportionally reduced to 300 width (which is appropriate), and then truncated to 267 on display.
What should happen is either the initial window should be 300x400 as specified, or that each new image should have its own window, which falls inside 300x400. (The latter being what gm display does.)
As well, images smaller than the initial image leave parts of previous images in the display window.
With gm display, -geometry +200+200 positions correctly, but displays each image exactly once and then quits. And not continuously as I wanted.
However it does display every image correctly, in it's own window. Although that could be ok, I would prefer to have one window (or frame) in which all images are displayed.
I have another application (feh) that does most of what I want (but not the important positioning, which it doesn't even attempt).
In sum, with my tests, animate doesn't respect positioning, truncates in some cases, and doesn't fill backgrounds. But it does loop nicely.
Display doesn't loop, but doesn't have the other problems. (It doesn't have backgrounds.)
And it would be very nice to have frames, which seem to be available for other gm groups.
I've seen the -backdrop option, which takes over the entire screen : I'm looking for display confined to the region specified by -geometry.
But then maybe it is largely a matter of documentation ?
BTW, one of the reasons I would like to use gm for this is, unlike most alternatives, it is very good for positioned display of fixed images, so one application can do everything.
(abbreviations would be nice, however -- like -g for -geometry -- since command lines tend to get rather long)
In my tests I tried redirection and pipes as a workaround, which if it worked would have essentially solve my problems.
e.g gm animate ... > gm display ...
or gm animate ... | gm display ...
In my tests, with ">", gm animate complained about the presence of "display", and in most cases continued as if "> gm display" were not in the command line.
If I used "|" instead, gm animate complained about "|" and quit.
Typically (particularly under Unix/Linux),
cmd1 ... > cmd2 ...
cmd1 ... | cmd2 ...
(depending on the program)
will feed the output of cmd1 to cmd2
(Using stdout and stdin)
The problems I've having seem to indicate that "gm animate" and "gm display" use different routines for display. (Not surprising since imagemagick is a collection of different programs.) It would be nice if there were more integration into common routines, with identical functioning.
This does something somewhat useful for me:
gm convert -compose Copy -gravity center mommycat.ppm seaworld.ppm -extent 1530x1020 miff:- | gm display -title 'My Animation' -geometry +100+100 -delay 10 -
and this works too:
gm convert -background blue -compose Copy -gravity center mommycat.ppm golfer.ppm tiger.ps seaworld.ppm -extent 1530x1020 miff:- | gm animate -title 'My Animation' -geometry +100+100 -delay 100 -
and this does almost as well except that it exposes a bug and does not provide positioning control:
gm convert -delay 10 -compose Copy -gravity center mommycat.ppm seaworld.ppm -extent 1530x1020 x:
Note that in order for 'gm display' to know that it should take input from a pipe, one must use '-' as the filename.
It should be possible to decorate the images any way you like in the processing pipeline such as using -border.
If you are a good programmer, then you can help make GM better buy submitting a patch to improve the crufty software.

Man arrested after officer struck by stolen cruiser in Vt
ST. ALBANS Police in St. Albans have arrested a man accused of driving a city police cruiser, striking an officer who tried to stop him, and then crashing the vehicle after a nearly 2-mile chase.
Police said the officer was treated at a hospital for minor injuries and released Sunday night.
Police first chased Roger Patenaude on foot; there was an active arrest warrant for him. They said the 34-year-old Patenaude found an unlocked, running police cruiser and hit the officer, who ordered him to stop.
Police pursued Patenaude. They said he eventually crashed the cruiser into a utility pole on Route 104.
He was treated at a hospital, then arrested on charges including aggravated assault and attempting to elude.MORE IN This Just In

Inside the world of tiny animalsComment on this story
London - They're minuscule, there're millions of them, and one museum manager says they're massively under-represented.
Jack Ashby, who manages London's Grant Museum of Zoology, says he's trying to give dragonfly nymphs, tortoise mites, and sea spiders the attention they deserve, unveiling a "Micrarium" devoted to some of animal kingdom's smallest subjects.
Ashby says the Micracrium - housed in a former storage room within the larger museum - displays 2,323 slides of mini-monsters, from tortoise beetles to baby cuttlefish.
He says many of the slides were once used as study aids for British zoology and anatomy students and that some of them date back to the mid-19th century.
Ashby says that the Micrarium is free of charge. But don't all come at once. The room is very small. - Sapa-AP

Final Fantasy Type-0
Question from chyper97
Do we need to wait for the eng version or not?
On my own opinion, I think we must wait for the eng version, bea=cause I'm having a hard time to play the game and understand the story.
4 years ago
hahaha..right..ahm....do you have any details regarding the release of the game in USA and EUR???
4 years ago
Personally, I find the game challenging you tend to die a lot and AI's are intelligent. The fun part for me is when you can do past mission infinitely boosting level and Gil seems like they are not using Gil as currency. Hearsays that SE will not release this in NA/EUR
4 years ago
As of now No announcements has been regarding localization.
Thou Fan Translations [although cancelled due to] is one way but a well known translator just decided to cancel it since he saw alot of hints inside the game that could lead to a Official localization.
and your right persons who play this and and don't understand Japanese could have a hardtime.
4 years ago
I know a little JP, but I'm having a hard time to understand the history.
Since no announcement was done about the En version, maybe we can see any En patch to use with the JP version. I hope that so badly.

What i understand some time after final fantasy 13-2 comes they might release it in english then mayby.

Takaba san just annouced that international version will be release later.

Whooopss sorry for the comment I've already read the article and only two words came to my mind about it HELL YEAH!!!!!!!! hehe.. more power square soft for making psp's life worth while NEY!! LEGEN wait for it DARY! LEGENDARY!!!
4 years ago
It will come out eventually. It's TBA at the moment but I'm sure they'll release it till next year.
4 years ago
Well if you're playin it for fun then you dont have to wait for eng. Version but if you're playin it to know what happened in the story then yeah you have to wait for eng, version. And i suggest you wait for the eng. version it's not that hard to play jp version the only part i had a really hard time was this red hallway thing on disc 1 i just kept going back and forth
4 years ago
It's up to you but if you're itching to play it, then play it oh and if you want an English Patch I could give ya one :)))))
4 years ago
Don't even bother yourself, this one is not coming to the west. =)
3 years ago
This may be an inappropriate answer given the time of initialization of this thread, but seeing the relevance of the question at hand, I think it's still worth answering at the present.
Years since its official JP release, a full English patch was developed and released for the game. It's unofficial since it was developed by a group of fans of the franchise.
As for the official Western release of the game, it will be on a different platform from PSP -- it's either or both on Xbox One and PS4.
1 year ago
Alright Reclaiming this post again, one more time!
- Yes the unofficial patch for the PSP edition is finished officially
- Unfortunately, some companies was irritated by the unofficial patch, therefore forcing the team to take it off the net, and so they did.
- Furthermore, it might still out there, but you have to look for yourself
- Also I'm writing a guide so hang on tight!

Fujifilm X10
Fujifilm X10 : Top You'll find a number of physical controls on the X10. The top-mounted Mode Dial allows you to toggle between shooting modes, and another dial makes it easy to dial in EV compensation from -2 EV to +2 EV in third-stop increments.
6 / 10
Bottom Line
The Fujifilm X10 has one of the larger sensors in a compact, zooming camera, but doesn't control noise in low light as well as you'd expect. Its ergonomics make handling a bit awkward, but enthusiasts will be happy with the sharp images that this retro-styled camera captures.

Where Have All The Mommies Gone?Samantha Bee
I think you know where this is going.
Observing my five year old daughter as she fussed quietly over her dolls, my heart was melting. I got the iPhone video-ready to capture on camera evidence of the kind of imaginative play that would let me know definitively that she is a genius. I came up behind her stealthily and hit 'record'.
Sympathetic voice: "…no, Sweetie…her Mommy can't help you because her Mommy is dead. Her head got cut off in a terrible accident and she got all her feet chopped off and then she fell into a volcano and drowned in hot lava and she is not alive…"
Later that day: similar scenario, same sympathetic voice "…sorry…her Mommy was killed by hornets and then they had to put her in the ocean and a shark came."
Many times since: almost every doll play scenario my child engages in somehow involves the mother doll about to die or already dead; bitten by a snake, shot in the face, karate chopped to a pulp, burned alive, at the bottom of the pool, eaten by fire ants, stabbed with a shish kabob, shot into space and suffocated by Moon-cheese.
Should I be taking this personally? And, um, where did we learn this exactly? Was there A Very Special Episode of SuperWhy that I missed? Was it the 'director's cut' of Dora Saves The Crystal Kingdom in which all the mothers are rounded up and eliminated in a series of escalating natural disasters and freak accidents to rival Final Destination XXVI?
I'm positive that there is some kind of psychologically sound reason for this that I am simply too fatigued to learn about. I also acknowledge that weird mother-gap in almost all the Disney movies that my children adore so much (I mean, Nemo's mommy really bites it). And OK maybe, just maybe, after my Grandfather died I went slightly overboard in my quest to treat his death as a 'teaching moment.' I didn't realize my earnestness would be repaid with a 24/7 carnival of horrors.
Oddly, it reminds me of those first few months of breast feeding, when I was fighting so hard to make it work. And then one day, through all the pain and the tears, it just finally took off, and we were all set, and I was so proud of myself; I felt like a warrior, a champion who had battled against the odds to triumph at something I really wanted and that didn't come easily to me. And then…my beautiful tiny baby, wrapped in the loving embrace of her two beaming parents, snuggled up against my husband's chest, and tried to suckle from HIS HAIRY MAN-NIPPLE. She couldn't tell the difference between my life-giving mother teats, and the useless vestigial titties of her loving but non-lactating father?! And for that matter, she also seemed to give quite a bit of loving attention to the sheepskin blanket we had laying over the back of the couch, as if searching the treated pelt of a long dead sheep for a couple of dirty old mutton dugs.
Which is to say, I was feeling rather under appreciated.
And then suddenly I remembered that the only art project my mother ever saved from my youth was one in which I (also the age of five) drew the graveyard headstones of every person in my family. Each gravestone was engraved with the birth and death dates of each family member, with a thoughtfully placed R.I.P. at the top. The largest and most elaborate one was of course, reserved for my mother.
And then I double-remembered that excessive intake of espresso based drinks makes me go bananas sometimes, and that I was being ridiculous about this. It was so clearly a normal part of growing up, and dipping one's toes into ideas about mortality.
Relieved, I resumed my celebration of her amazing ingenuity, and, bursting with a fresh wellspring of maternal pride, showered her with an unimaginable number of kisses. And made videos. And called people.
But just for good measure I made sure to call my mother to remind her how just much I love her too. Hi Mom. Um, sorry about the graveyard thing.
