I'm in Japan now and it is simply awesome. I'm thinking of visiting a public bath. Is it separate for the two genders? Can I go in with a swim suit (after my mandatory shower, of course) or do I have to be completely nude? Not that I'm uncomfortable but in a completely alien part of the world, I'm acutely aware of offending cultural sensibilities. Also being a south-Asian woman, upper body size is fairly different.
Japan is a volcanically active country which means it has a plethora of onsen (hot springs) all around the country.  Visiting these onsen is supposed to be a popular vacation destination for the work-weary Japanese.    I've been told that, as with other things in Japan, there is a rather strict etiquette surrounding the use of the onsen.  In particular, the two things I've read about so far are   Swimming Suits are not allowed. It is very important that one bathe immediately before entering the onsen.   Are these true?  Are there any other taboos that a naive American should be aware of?
When should a verb be followed by a gerund instead of an infinitive? I have an Asus R500VD laptop which came with the preinstalled Windows 8. As actually this computer will be used by my grandmother (and she's only using win 7) I'd like to downgrade it.  Thanks to other thread here, I was able to successfully boot computer from Windows 7 USB stick, but unfortunately during install I got a message:  A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing. (...)   and I can't get pass it... This is what I've done:   I've downloaded all drivers from Asus Website (), unzip and copied to visible location for windows 7 installation - I've picked each one of them, none has helped. As I belive it's some kind of problem with SATA/RAID/AHCI drivers I went to Intel site and downloaded various "Intel Rapid Storage Technology" drivers - a lot of them were recognized by win7, but none of them helped.   Does anyone have an idea what can I do next? Any help would be really appreciated. For a graph $G$, let $W$ be the (random) vertex occupied at the ﬁrst time the random walk has visited every vertex. That is, $W$ is the last new vertex to be visited by the random walk. Prove the following remarkable fact:      For the   random walk on an $n$-cycle, $W$ is uniformly distributed over all vertices different   from the starting vertex. Proof of $(A - B) - C = A - (B \cup C)$ I have several of these types of problems, and it would be great if I can get some help on one so I have a guide on how I can solve these.  I tried asking another problem, but it turned out to be a special case problem, so hopefully this one works out normally.   The question is:  Prove $(A - B) - C = A - (B \cup C)$  I know I must prove both sides are not equivalent to each other to complete this proof. Here's my shot: We start with left side.   if $x \in C$, then $x \notin A$ and $x \in B$. So $x \in (B \cup C)$ So $A - (B \cup C)$   Is this the right idea? Should I then reverse the proof to prove it the other way around, or is that unnecessary? Should it be more formal?  Thanks! Lightning Web Component embedded in Visualforce Page via Aura Component and App not displaying I am writing a lightning web component that is going to be used in Salesforce Classic, Lightning Experience and an Employee Community. It does not HAVE to be a lightning web component - I could use a traditional Aura Lightning Component if I must.   However, what I am finding is that the visualforce page does not work, even when the lwc component is embedded in a aura component that is then used with Lightning Components for Visualforce. I can see from the documentation  that using a lwc directly from within visualforce is not supported, but I was under the impression that it may work if wrapped in an aura component.   My question then is this:  Has anyone had success having a lwc wrapped in an aura component display successfully within Visualforce? Or is this completely unsupported behaviour? Although work and heat do the same thing (increase or decrease the internal energy of the system), There is still a fundamental difference between them. For example, The way in which entropy is defined is a very good way to differentiate between work and heat. But, why is there such a distinction between the two things? Is it the limitation of Newtonian mechanics that it never accounted for something like heat which could also change the energy of the system? Is the word "Thermodynamical work" or "Hidden work" suitable for heat? Is there any way to accept only numeric values in a JTextField? Why does `last` show '{' and '|' in the TTY field?

If a permanent turns into a(nother) creature, has it entered the battlefield? I was playing a game last night with a guy who was playing a new Simic Gatecrash deck, and he claimed that if he made a land into a creature, it counted as entering the battlefield, thus triggering evolve (or other "enters the battlefield" abilities).  I thought this was incorrect, being that the creature didn't actually enter the battlefield, it was just created.  Which of us was right? How do I root my Android device?
