laidalays - Almond milk totes many benefits (rich in vitamin D and E, omega fatty acids and low in cholesterol), but also high amounts of allergens (very high in salicylates and problematic proteins, considered a priority allergen by many countries with a 37% likelihood of a person being allergic).  Soy milk also contains proteins that many find difficult to digest or lead to even more severe problems, but its salicylate levels are negligible, so I would advise soy milk as the safer option.  Keep in mind however that both almonds (grouped in the category of 'tree nuts') and soy are both in the top 9 allergens to watch out for by paediatricians

Unfortunately I only know about this because I'm extremely allergic to lots of different foods!

Today morning, I washed my dishes and went to buy 237 diapers! Wondering about how everyone dances without

Hi NBailey,

I've PMed you about this but in case you didn't get it, I have uploaded the file for you and attributed it under your name.   Sorry for the inconvenience!

Wow, Vedic Maths is incredible!  I've never had so much fun, I couldn't stop until I finished all the tutorials and I wanted to keep going afterwards .

Kumon also teaches many of the Vedic Math methods, as I remember doing those exercises when I was growing up, but I think the drilling method imposed by Kumon turned me off as a child

Karma to you guys!

After a bit of practice I've worked out a way to make her spin whichever way I want too

I look down so that I can just see her extended arm and leg in my upper peripheral vision, and then trace their movements so that to me, they appear to be going clockwise or anti-clockwise.  Then I look up and there she goes!  I find it difficult to switch her direction without looking away though.

Hi guys!

Browsing through these forums and others, it really does seem that many find it difficult to get information on the Shichida Method, so I thought I'd share this link - http://www.shichidamethod.com/download_material/tsm_brochure_2008.pdf

It's an introductory brochure I found while reading through the Shichida websites, maybe it will be helpful to you   Interestingly, it says USA on the front of the brochure, although I must admit that within the brochure itself I found no mentions to the United States    At any rate, it will hopefully shed some light on what the Shichida Method is about!

Cheers,

Shuki

Haha yes eventually my eyes started hurting but I wanted to keep going anyway!

I see the girl spinning anti-clockwise, it just goes to show...  These tests are very inconclusive! 

I scored 9 to 9, but the test still said I was left-brain dominant

The link to Visual Hemispheric Dominance is quite fun too! (http://brain.web-us.com/brain/Visual_Test_Hemispheric_Dominance.htm)  The effect of the circles battling each other to be on top is really amazing 

Another way to bypass the problem is to click at the beginning of the moving text and drag downwards to highlight the entirety of it, and then copypasting it somewhere so you can read it in peace  .  Still rather cumbersome though hehe

[KATAKANA]

Hi winth,

I'd just like to inquire regarding your 'Colours in Japanese' upload.  I've noticed there are some inconsistencies with the words, as you've combined borrowed (katakana) forms, adjectival forms (赤い), noun form (くろ), hiragana form (はいいろ), and selective kanji (e.g. 白 for white but not 黒 for black).

If you would like to edit them and kindly re-upload, it would be greatly appreciated.

I'll write out a list of forms so you may choose which format you wish to apply:

//	KATAKANA	ADJECTIVAL	NOUN (dictionary form)	HIRAGANA (adjectival / noun)	ROMAJI (romanised)
RED	レッド	赤い	赤	あかい / あか	akai / aka
BLUE	ブルー	青い	青	あおい / あお	aoi / ao
YELLOW	イェロー	黄色い	黄色	きいいろい / きいろ	kiiroi / kiiro
ORANGE	オレンジ	橙色	橙色	だいだいいろ / だいだいいろ	daidaiiro / daidaiiro
PINK	ピンク	桃色	桃色	ももいろ / ももいろ	momoiro / momoiro
GREY/GRAY	グレイ	灰色	桃色	はいいろ / はいいいろ	haiiro / haiiro
PURPLE	パープル	紫色	紫	むらさきいろ / むらさき	murasakiiro / murasaki
GREEN	グリーン	緑	緑色	みどり/ みどりいろ	midori / midoriiro
WHITE	ウァイト	白い	白	しろい / しろ	shiroi / shiro
BROWN	ブラウン	茶色	茶色	ちゃいろ / ちゃいろ	chairo / chairo
BLACK	ブラック	黒い	黒	くろい / くろ	kuroi / kuro

Hope that helps,

Shuki

edit: added ROMAJI as well on lappy's suggestion.  Also sorry nikki, I keep taking down files you've approved hope you don't mind!
