Some Japanese find social importance in going to public baths, out of the theory that physical proximity/intimacy brings emotional intimacy, which is termed skinship in Japanese. Others go to a sentō because they live in a small housing facility without a private bath or to enjoy bathing in a spacious room and to relax in saunas or jet baths that often accompany new or renovated sentōs.

Casio Mini Card

Casio was established in April 1946 by Tadao Kashio (樫尾 忠雄, Kashio Tadao), an engineer specializing in fabrication technology. Kashio’s first major product was the yubiwa pipe, a finger ring that would hold a cigarette, allowing the wearer to smoke the cigarette down to its nub while also leaving the wearer’s hands free. Japan was impoverished immediately following World War II so cigarettes were valuable, and the invention was a success.

After seeing the electric calculators at the first Business Show in Ginza, Tokyo in 1949, Kashio and his younger brothers used their profits from the yubiwa pipe to develop their own calculators.

In the mid-1970s the first calculators appeared with the now “normal” LCDs with dark numerals against a grey background, though the early ones often had a yellow filter over them to cut out damaging UV rays. The big advantage of the LCD is that it is passive and reflects light, which requires much less power than generating light. This led the way to the first credit-card-sized calculators, such as the Casio Mini Card LC-78 of 1978, which could run for months of normal use on a couple of button cells.

Beef Tengoku: Mega Mac!

「ビーフ天国!メガマック!」 “Beef Heaven! Mega Mac!”

In some restaurants, McDonald’s also offers a “Mega Mac” with four patties and an extra slice of cheese. In Canada, this is commonly available in most McDonald’s restaurants under the name “Double Big Mac”. In the United Kingdom, the “Mega Mac” was once available but has since been discontinued along with the Super-size option as a part of the healthier McDonald’s menu. The “Mega Mac”, however, has been for sale in Ireland since at least some time in 2004 and remains on sale. The Mega Mac began sale in Japan on January 12, 2007.
