Translating to “the best in the world,” Sekai-ichi are washed with honey and branded by hand to ensure they’re blemish free. The most expensive one ever sold was a whopping 17 pounds and went for $6,100 at an auction in 2008, making it the priciest watermelon in the world. Grown exclusively on Japan’s northernmost island, Hokkaido, only 100 Densuke are farmed each year. Why so expensive?: Sold at Sembikiya flagship store in Tokyo and throughout Japan, the black-skinned, stripeless Densuke watermelon is reported to have a special type of sweetness. ![]() Here are eight fruits around the world that make a $6 banana look like, well, just a banana. But Sembikiya and the Gokusen banana are only the tip of the absurdly-expensive-fruit iceberg. In Tokyo, the luxury fruit boutique Sembikiya sells everything from $3-a-piece strawberries to $212 square watermelons. In fact, the country has an long history of luxe fruit. When Dole Japan announced it would be sell its Gokusen banana for $6 each for one day only (May 9) at the Takashimaya Department Store in Shinjuku, everybody’s reaction pretty much was, “OMG, those are some fancy-ass bananas.” The fruit, developed using the best characteristics from more than 100 bananas and grown 500 meters above sea level, came in special boxes and equipped with serial numbers.īut this isn’t the first time Japan’s gone fruit crazy. ![]()

Well, for one thing, it was the first book that laid the foundation of deductive logic-to prove general statements (called propositions) by definitions, general assumptions, and already known propositions. He could have been quite wealthy all the royalties he could have earned (except he would not have cared-there is a well-known story of Euclid embarrassing and humiliating one of his students who wanted to know what he would gain by learning geometry). It’s too bad that the notions of copyrights and intellectual properties did not exist back then. It was the standard book in geometry for over 2000 years, and there are over 1000 editions of the book in hundreds of languages. This book may be the most widely read treatise in world history because no other books have been read longer or by more people, with the exception of the Bible. The reader is encouraged to find out more by doing a search under “non-Euclidean geometry.”Įuclid, who lived around 300 B.C., is best known for his book The Elements, a 13- volume masterpiece laying the foundations of geometry (and some number theory as well). Here, a very abbreviated version of the story is presented. ![]() What many experts feel is offensive and repugnant may actually be true.What stands the “test of time” may not be absolutely true.Common sense could be the greatest obstacle to finding truth.The story is worthy of a movie or a play. The conception and arrival of non-Euclidean geometry involved three mathematicians-one very famous and two completely unknown. This subject, “Euclidean geometry” (the type of geometry you studied in high school), was so popular and dominant that no one, for over two millennia, doubted its truthfulness, questioned its authority, or thought of coming up with an alternative. You see, Euclid (who lived over 2300 years ago!) wrote a textbook that was so popular that practically every educated person in the world used it to study geometry for the next 2000 plus years. It was truly a ground-shaking event, not only in the history of mathematics and but also in philosophy. The birth of non-Euclidean geometry was REALLY a big deal. It is called "Non-Euclidean" because it is different from Euclidean geometry, which was developed by an ancient Greek mathematician called Euclid. Image is used under a CC BY-SA 3.0 license. In a small triangle on the face of the earth, the sum of the angles is very nearly 180°.

Navigate and select the firmware you wish to flash. The server/IP address is that of the router being flashed. Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> Windows Features -> then check mark TFTP Client.Vista and Win7 command line TFTP needs enabled:.Windows XP command line TFTP client is by default enabled.With TFTP, all of the information about the transfer is specified during the initial command/setup there is very little client/server interaction compared with standard FTP. The initial flashing can be done with only the mini version, perhaps later you can move on to bigger versions of it. Then do a 30/30/30 and after that you can flash with DD-WRT Mini. If the router seems to be bricked so that the power light is constantly blinking and pinging the router results in TLL=100 continuously, then there is still a great chance that tftp can help.įirstly you must flash the router with the original firmware available at Linksys homepage since flashing it with DD-WRT probably won't give any result at all. This should allow for a faster ping reply. If having issues, try connecting a separate network switch between the PC and router, so the PC network port sees a connection before the router port is up. Check out the wikipedia article on CTCP for information on how to check if it is running and how to disable it (both are simple command line entries). But again, even if you have an issue it's not CTCP. I personally just used TFTP on my router with no difficulties, although mine is a Netgear WNDR3700 that was waiting for a TFTP flash and didn't have this race condition at boot as some of these routers seem to. So unless people are specifically turning it on, it isn't running. In order to catch the narrow window for TFTP flash, you should use platforms with simple TCP/IP implementations that don't have CTCP implemented: Windows XP or Linux are reported to work, but some have reported significant problems with Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 2008.Įdit: While some may have reported problems, CTCP is definitely not the issue, because it is disabled by default in Windows Vista and Windows 7. See this wiki page: Asus TFTP Flash Special for Vista, Win7 and Win 2008 Some routers like the Asus WL-500xx series (WL-500G, WL-500G Premium, WL-500W, WL-500G Deluxe), need additional steps to perform a complete and proper initial flash. Read about timing problems below: TFTP flash#Special for Vista, Win7 and Win 2008.If the router isn't responding, it is soft-bricked (use OEM firmware) TTL=64 means application code has been reached.Plug in the router and start the TFTP client as soon as there is a TTL=100 ping response.Setup the TFTP client, then start a continuous ping ( -t switch is needed for this in Windows) to the router.Use a mini build for 4+ MB flash devices (when possible) or micro build for 2 MB flash devices.For recovering a bad flash, the OEM firmware might be required.Use the Supported_Devices, the device wiki, or the forum for recommended files. Set a fixed IP address on the PC with the same network as your router, e.g.Unplug the router, get a TFTP client for the PC, and connect it via network cable to a router LAN port.This article describes how to do an initial flash or a TFTP recovery flash for your device. 1.2 Special for Vista, Win7 and Win 2008.1.1 Special Asus TFTP Flashing Procedures. ![]() ![]() ![]() You may also want to view information at the FEMA Community Rating System(link is external).

Recently purchased an extended warranty - just in case. Since then, the car has run nicely - although I do get high speed vibration on certain stretches of highway (probably due the the low profile tires). A month later a coolant pipe … began leaking at the rear of the cylinder head (I replaced this myself).

Optical fiber connectors are dissimilar to other electronic connectors in that they do not have a jack and plug design. Multiple fiber connectors can have two or more fibers terminated in the connector. A simplex connector has one fiber terminated in the connector, whereas duplex has two fibers terminated in the connector. The fiber types for fiber optic connectors are categorized into simplex, duplex and multiple fiber connectors. The connector body holds the ferrule and the coupling device serves the purpose of male-female configuration. The ferrule is mostly made of hardened material like stainless steel and tungsten carbide, and it ensures the alignment during connector mating. The main components of an optical fiber connector are a ferrule, sub-assembly body, cable, stress relief boot and connector housing.
