Nesta puts its stake in the ground looking ahead to what might happen next year.
'Tis the season to make outlandish 2017 predictions – indeed we'll be publishing The Memo's own on Friday – and innovation charity Nesta certainly has a spread of its own.
Get ready for plant butchery, VR art and a more… Germanic Britain, but first, why make such predictions?
"The world is full of surprises, and 2016 defied many expectations. But the rise of populist politics shouldn't have surprised anyone, any more than the escalating debate about automation and jobs. All the signs were there to be seen," explains Geoff Mulgan, CEO of Nesta.
"That's why we at Nesta encourage prediction each year, partly to better understand what may happen, but more importantly to focus on what possibilities should be encouraged rather than discouraged."
1. The end of the World Wide Web. To combat the rise of cybercrime and cyberterrorism, "in 2017 countries and regions will increasingly create their own decentralised versions of the internet."
That might sound shocking to anyone used to being able to find literally anything, just by tapping a few words into Google, but the end of the web has already started.
North Korea, China and Iran are just some of the countries who have censored part or all (in the case of North Korea) of the internet.
Indeed in 2016 global internet freedoms have already fallen to an all time low, Nesta expect this will only continue.
2. Veganism gets bloodthirsty. There's a new wave of 'plant butchers' who are "using vegetables to create steaks, salamis and even ribs that feel, taste and even bleed like actual meat."
Indeed we took a look at Nishi earlier this year, a vegetarian restaurant that is selling veggie burgers that bleed.
Nesta think these healthy, sustainable, delicious foods will be a big deal next year.
3. Charity begins at home, literally. Volunteer your time, money, and even data from your sofa with new apps and services designed to let you give while fitting in with our busy lives, tight budgets and long working hours.
This sounds like an extension of what food apps like Unsung and Olio are starting to do.
4. Brexit transforms the UK…into Germany. One of Nesta's more… unusual predictions for 2017, and not quite a technology-related one, but we'll roll with it.
The thinking here is that Germany has always been the linchpin of the European Union, but now with Britain leaving along with the promise of more money for research and greater regional prosperity, might this role be reversed?
We'll have to wait and see on that one.
5. The retraining revolution. Here's one we can really get behind. With the looming rise of automated jobs, along with the economy shifting to jobs centred around digital skills, something needs to be done.
"More resources will need to be focused on retraining and reskilling the human workforce."
It's a huge task, and one that's being solved too slowly by the traditional generational process of educating the young.
We need to retrain millions of adults, but no one quite knows how yet.
6. V-Art. Virtual reality is already being heartily embraced in the world of art, next year Nesta predicts this trend will only accelerate.
"The next year will see the barrier between the virtual and visual will become increasingly blurred giving us new sensory ways to experience art."
7. People take control of their data. Your data is incredibly valuable, but people still seem happy to idly give it away for free. That might be about to change.
Whether it's Uber spying on Beyoncé, or banks like Tesco failing to protect our data (and money), a wave of anger is growing over these groups that store, use and often abuse this data.
"In 2017 new technology will allow ordinary people to choose when to release their information, empowering them to bypass digital middlemen like Uber and Airbnb."
8. Teamwork on the curriculum. Speaking of education and related to the retraining revolution, Nesta predicts that school curriculums around the world will begin shifting next year towards "how students can work together in the creative and social ways most jobs demand".
This kind of 'collaborative problem solving' is all about preparing kids for the actual jobs they'll end up doing in the real world, rather than say… preparing them to sit exams.
9. Computer Says No – the backlash. No one understands algorithms, but we're beginning to realise that they don't always have our best interests at heart.
Whether it's Facebook choosing the news you see (or don't see), LinkedIn selecting the job ads you get served, or even tech glitches sending people to jail.
"While they were designed to make things simpler and fairer, there have been issues," says Nesta.
"Scepticism about digital decision making will gather pace in 2017."
10. Patients stand up for their healthcare. Technology is letting people take more care over their healthcare. It's a trend that probably started the very first time someone simply Googled their symptoms, but today it's gone much further.
From ordering your own DNA and blood tests, to using AI to diagnose patients. As the NHS finds its budget slashed and consumer medical technology continues to improve "the NHS will become increasingly open to people taking control of their own treatment."
Come back on Friday when The Memo will be publishing our own predictions for 2017.

E-GEOD-51362 - Streptococcus mutans UA159; 10 mM Glucose Versus 100 mM Glucose
Released on 3 December 2013, last updated on 13 May 2014
Streptococcus mutans UA159
Samples (12)
Array (1)
Protocols (7)
Transcriptional Profiling of Streptococcus mutans UA159 Grown in Continuous Culture using TV Media Supplemented With 10 mM vs 100 mM Glucose. The genetic and phenotypic responses of Streptococcus mutans, an organism known to be strongly associated with the development of dental caries, to changes in carbohydrate availability were investigated. S. mutans UA159 or a derivative of UA159 lacking ManL, which is the EIIAB component (EIIABMan) of a mannose/glucose permease of the phosphoenolpyruvate:sugar phosphotransferase system (PTS) and a dominant effector of catabolite repression, were grown in continuous culture to steady-state in conditions of excess (100 mM) or limiting (10 mM) glucose. Microarrays using RNA from S. mutans UA159 revealed that 174 genes were differentially expressed in response to changes in carbohydrate availability (P < 0.001). Glucose-limited cells possessed higher PTS activity, could acidify the environment more rapidly and to a greater extent, and produced more ManL protein than cultures grown with excess glucose. Loss of ManL adversely affected carbohydrate transport and acid tolerance. Comp arison of the HPr protein in S. mutans UA159 and the manL deletion strain indicated that the differences in behaviors of the strains were not due to major differences in HPr pools or HPr phosphorylation status. Therefore, carbohydrate availability alone can dramatically influence the expression of physiologic and biochemical pathways that contribute directly to the virulence of S. mutans, and ManL has a profound influence on this behavior. Two-condition experiment, growth in 10 mM vs 100 mM glucose. Biological replicates: 3 per condition, independently grown and harvested. One replicate per array

During a radio interview a few weeks ago, I was asked, "How often do you participate in a Daniel Fast?" My answer was every January and any other time I sense the Lord leading me to do so. I had planned to begin my next fast on April 3rd in preparation for Easter. However, after a really tough, emotional week, I decided I couldn't wait another day, let alone seven. I started a water fast today.
I'm not announcing this as a source of pride, nor am I saying, "Hey, look at me. I'm fasting right now." That would unbiblical and pharisaical. However, I do want to be honest about what God is doing in my life, sharing both the highs and the lows. I'm just like you, desiring to serve the Lord wholeheartedly, yet battling the flesh every step of the way.
Last night I read a blog in which a woman and her husband posted about their 40-day juice fast. I was intrigued as I read through her journey. That's when the idea came to me to share my experiences during this fast. Not only will it help me process what God is showing me, but also it will keep me accountable. In addition, my prayer is that YOU will be encouraged and challenged as you seek the Lord.
My husband asked me tonight, "How long are you going to go?" I told him that I didn't know because I don't. Being the goal-oriented, driven one that I am, I usually have a plan before I even begin something. That's the situation in which I'm most comfortable. This fast is different.
Maybe I'll do a 3-day water fast and then transition into a Daniel Fast. Or, I might go from water to juice and then the Daniel Fast. I really don't have a plan. I'm leaving the length and type of fast open-ended for a reason. This way, I'm forced to depend upon the Lord and seek Him for direction. I'm literally taking one day at a time.
It's 10:00pm, and I'm ready for bed. It has been a full day. God, as always, has been faithful. I'm thankful that no matter what I'm going through, He is there. He doesn't leave me to wander around on my own. He holds me close, just like Deuteronomy 33:12 says:
"Let the beloved of the LORD rest secure in him, for he shields him all day long, and the on the LORD loves rests between his shoulders."
Lord God, I am your beloved. I can rest secure in you tonight and every night. You are my Shield. You are the One who comforts me. Thank you for your unfailing love and that all of your promises are true.

The boys couldn't wait to do their homework tonight. They were thrilled they both had some.
I know that we are only one week into school and this homework excitement will likely wear off. For now though, I'm going to enjoy the hassle free homework time.
Emma even wanted in on the action and did her own version of homework. She was just as excited and proud as the boys were.

Our first two homes were received from and are dedicated to the memory of two ardent disability rights activists, Carol Eisenberg and James "J.T." Templeton. Carol spent her life advocating for independence and access; after she died, her family wanted to ensure that the accessibility modifications she had made would continue to benefit other people with disabilities. AHA! purchased her home with City of Austin affordable housing bond funding.
J.T., one of AHA!'s founding members, fought his way out of state institutions where he had been forced to live for thirty years and, along with his wife Karen, eventually bought and built a fully accessible home through the Texas Home of Your Own program. Upon his death he gave his home to AHA! so that other people with disabilities could live in a home that was accessible, affordable and integrated into a neighborhood.
In 2010, AHA! entered into a partnership with the Texas State Affordable Housing Corporation to rehabilitate and manage seven previously foreclosed homes.
To date, we have served over forty individuals, all in low-income households including at least one family member with a disability.

Laptop batteries have evolved over a period of time to reach the present technology and performance levels. The chemical structure of batteries varies from each other. Each type of battery has features unique to it. Lets learn more.
Today laptop batteries can be broadly classified into three categories depending upon the chemical process involved in power generation. They are Nickel Cadmium(NiCd) batteries, Nickel Metal Hydride(NiMH) batteries and Lithium Ion(Li-ion) batteries.
…but before getting into details of different types of batteries for laptop computer you must understand the following terms
Now moving towards features of various laptop batteries…
NiCd batteries were the first rechargeable batteries for notebook computers. They powered most of the older laptop models. The chemical structure of NICd batteries is represented below
These are low cost and versatile batteries with high output current capability. Best cycle count is achieved with this type of battery. With proper maintenance NiCD delivers over 1000 charge cycles. These Offer about 30% less capacity compared to the NiMH. NiCd batteries are capable of handling higher loads.
On the down side these batteries are affected by the dreaded memory effect which leads to loss in capacity ( caused due to the crystalline formation by the nickel plate). NiCd laptop batteries are high maintenance batteries that require regular discharge cycles to prevent memory effect.
NiCd batteries consist of heavy metals like Cadmium(Cd) which have adverse effects on the environment. The drive to create environment friendly batteries led to powerful products like NiMH and LiON batteries taking over from NiCd batteries.
NiMH batteries were a significant improvement over NiCd batteries due to lower cost, safety, reliability and capacity. This was a step ahead towards creating green(environment friendly) batteries.
The chemical structure of NICd batteries is represented below
NiMH batteries are a good value for price but then they fall short in the expected life cycle. They provide 20% to 30% greater capacity than NiCd batteries.
The performance is excellent when new but trails off quickly after few hundred cycles. This happens because of decreased capacity and rising internal resistance within the cell. NiMH is affected by the memory effect to a certain extent. Thus these high maintenance batteries require regular discharge cycles to prevent memory effect. It must be fully discharged prior to recharging for maximum charge effectiveness.
LiON are the most popular laptop batteries now days. They overcome the memory effect of the NiMH batteries. LiON batteries are somewhat lighter in weight than NiMH batteries. However the prices of the LiON batteries are a bit on the higher side because of the high manufacturing expenses.
The structure of Li-ion batteries is different. They make use of material like graphite along with lithiated transition metal. One example of such Lithium-transition metal combo is Lithium Cobalt Oxide. The electrolyte used is lithium salt dissolved in a mixture of organic carbonates. It basically consists of a spiral wound roll consisting of the two electrodes. The electrodes are separated by a microporous film which contains the electrolyte solution. The whole of this arrangement is sealed in a metallic case.
LiON batteries can be used for more cycles as compared to NiMH. These are low maintenance batteries that offer high energy. These do not require periodic full discharge. No trickle charge is applied once the battery reaches full charge. The charging process of a Li-ion is, in many ways, simpler and cleaner than that of nickel-based systems.
On the downside these batteries gradually loose charge acceptance as a part of aging, even if not used. Lithium Ion batteries power most of the modern laptop models.
Batteries for laptop computers have been undergoing a lot of technological changes of late. Li-Polymer is such a technology which could power tomorrow's laptop batteries. Fuel Cell technology is another revolutionary concept which is being explored.

'Sue Me!' Leah Remini Calls Church Of Scientology's Bluff
In a new reality TV series, Church of Scientology defector Leah Remini wants the world to know about her experience within the church.
In an interview with Larry King, Remini who has been threatened with legal action multiple times by the church, tells them stop talking trash and calling her a liar and go ahead and sue!
"What I'm not going to stand for is an organization with this kind of money to continue to bully people, harasses people and defraud people out of their lives and money.
Remini explains to Dr. Oz that if a lawsuit were to happen the truth would come out, and that's the last thing the Church of Scientology would want.
"Why do I wish they would [sue]? Because they'd have to be deposed . . . I'd have to be deposed, and so we'd get some real information out," Remini said in the interview.
Remini has demanded in a legal letter, $1.5 million from the Church of Scientology for allegedly sending e-mails to A&E to pull her new show .
The King of Queens star is trying to shed light on the Church in the A&E docuseries, Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath.

Honesty spares unemployed man from going to jail
Dwayne Elmore Cumberbatch proved today that the old adage of 'honesty is the best policy' still works.
When the 28-year-old unemployed man of Thornbury Hill, Christ Church appeared before acting Magistrate Alliston Seale, he threw himself at the mercy of the court by hastily pleading guilty to stealing items valued at $18.61 from Savings Plus yesterday morning.
And despite having several previous convictions for a range of offences, Seale showed leniency towards him and fined
him $300 in four weeks, with an alternative of three months in prison.
Cumberbatch had earlier told the magistrate that he and his mother had had a disagreement and he decided to sleep in town to let his 'head cool'.
However, he said upon waking up this morning, he felt hungry and went into the store and took up one strawberry melon fruit drink and two cans of Pringles chips.
Cumberbatch told the court that when he saw the guard approaching him, he knew that he was in trouble and told himself he would 'tekk what he got'.
"Whatever you want to do is well done . . . but I wouldn't like to go to jail, Sir," he told Seale.
After the magistrate imposed the fine on him, an elated and relieved Cumberbatch thanked Seale for giving him a second chance to get his life on track.
"Sir, I have come a long way. I used to do cocaine, but I don't do anything like that anymore. I'm working on getting my life together.
"Thank you for allowing a chance to fix things," he said shortly before exiting the court.
4 Responses to Honesty spares unemployed man from going to jail
Not everything should be a reason to go to jail. The fact that he knows his actions were wrong and he will try to be better is a start. Everybody deserves a chance!
Love it. This should work as a bench mark for future miniscule cases!
He and his mother had had a disagreement and he decided to sleep in town to let his 'head cool'. Bless him. Well he was given a chance by the magistrate and I hope his mum gives him chance to put things right.
Some of us is very vulnerable and give into feelings and emotions. The strong ought to reach out to those desiring of help. The Christian foundation is based on forgiveness. So thank the Magistrate for reaching out to the accused and demonstrating understanding of the accused plight. A very good example for all of us to emulate.

I thought I would share with you some of my creations that I don't always blog about. Some I just share on my Facebook fan page. I seem to have a problem with lighting when photographing so I am working on that. That's probably why some of these don't make the cut to a blog. This owl cake and matching cupcakes were for a 2 year old's birthday party. One of my co-workers recommended me to one of her ex co-workers and next thing I knew I was baking and decorating an owl cake and matching crazy cupcakes.
I literally had no idea how in the heck to put an owl on a cake, but I pulled it off! By some unknown miracle I pulled it off! While everyone else was shopping on Black Friday, I took the whole day and did my cake. The cupcakes were a breeze and came out so cute. Don't ya think?
These cupcakes were for a 16 year old's birthday party. I did chocolate and vanilla with a simple vanilla cream cheese buttercream on the vanilla and an almond cream cheese buttercream on the chocolate cupcakes. Gotta watch those peanut allergies though when making cupcakes for unknown people. Luckily, I warned the person I made them for and we avoided an anaphylatic shock.
I loved the zebra pattern cupcake liners. I did a rose and hydrangea piping technique. So fun to do. I'm definitely making these again.
Here are some cookies I made for a co-worker who just adopted a baby boy. Sleeping babies with accent rose buttercream cookies. How. cute. are. these?
I made these Elmo cookies for my 2 year old nephew. For some reason I couldn't locate my camera and had to photograph them with my phone.
Some summer watermelon cookies. I actually used watermelon juice in the frosting. When people bit into them they said "Oh my gosh, they really taste like watermelon!"
After those two bad lighting photos I feel I need to redeem myself with my Christmas cut out cookie photos. I had so much fun decorating these this past Holiday Season.
How about some warm woolen mittens?
This was my first poinsettia buttercream piping try. I LOVE the way it turned out. This Christmas 2012 I'm going to put these on everything! So easy to make.
Can you tell I love Christmas? We don't get snow here in South Florida so I have to make my own snowflakes.
Fall is probably one of my favorite times of the year. Halloween is always a fun time to bake and decorate. I made these for one of my friends to give to her nurse who took care of her. Being a nurse, I can tell you we nurse's always appreciate when a patient appreciates the care given to them. Nothing says "thank you for a great job" quite the way a cupcake does. These were chocolate pumpkin spice.
I love the way Fall leaves make me feel. I think I captured that inspiration on this red velvet and cream cheese frosting. It was after I photographed this photo that I learned how to smooth out buttercream. Why I didn't think of it before I decorated the cake, I'll never know.
Still I was happy with the way it turned out. I've got to work on my lighting in my photographs, but I love the way these fall inspired colors pop off the cake.
And last but not least, a red velvet cake with strawberry filling. I love the way this cake turned out.
I've never been formally trained in baking or decorating. I may not be the best baker or cake decorator, but I give it everything I have. There is no better way of learning than trial and error. I have passion for it and I love doing it. It's what makes me happy. My little slice of heaven. Sometimes you just have to say what the heck and dig in!

The March 20 and 21 concerts of the Pittsburgh Philharmonic feature the orchestra performing some of Ludwig van Beethoven's greatest works, the Overture to Fidelio and his iconic Fifth Symphony. Fidelio is Beethoven's only opera and when it premiered in 1805 it was an overwhelming flop. As with some of his other works, he struggled with it, and for this piece dropped one entire act and actually wrote four different overtures before audiences of his day gave it rousing approval. It is the fourth overture that the Philharmonic will perform and today it is one of the most recognized and popular overtures in all of opera.
Also on the March program, "A Time to Shine", is Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, which opens with what just might be the most memorable four notes in all of music. Most people who hear that opening, even if they don't have a musical clue about anything classical, know that Beethoven put those notes together. And that happens in just the first few seconds of the Fifth. More than 200 years and tens of thousands of performances later, the Fifth Symphony still ranks among the best of Beethoven. And, one of the best in the world.
Finally, appearing with the Philharmonic and given their opportunity to shine, will be the winners of the orchestra's annual Young Artist Concerto Competition and Young Composer Competition.

At a Dallas Auction, which was held on Saturday, a hunter has paid a huge amount of $350,000 in order to hunt a black rhino, one of the most endangered animals on the planet.
The Dallas Safari Club along with the Namibian government sold the 'license to kill'.
At the same time, African minister was seen in state of great joy after the results were announced, because the funds go to conservation efforts in the country.
No official information has been revealed about the buyer, but according to other hunters Corey Knowlton is the suspected winner.
The hunter who disclosed winner's identity said in statement that he was willing bid at $340,000 for the black rhino, but Corey Knowlton (suspected winner) went $350,000 and won the bid. Adding on to it, he said that there was another $100,000 donation.
According to latest reports, Mr. Knowlton is an active hunter who regularly organizes shooting trips around the world, and has a habit of posting updates of pictures on his Facebook profile of himself along with clients and the animals that they hunt.
Mr. Knowlton, father of two young girls, is also a part of the Hunting Consortium and according to his company's biography, he has worked in the hunting tourism industry for more than a decade now.
Till now, he has hunted widely on 6 continents, hunting more than 120 different species, which includes a Super Slam of wild sheep and the big five in Africa.
The DSC has also passed a statement related to the auction, in which the club has stated that the animal that is selected for is an older bull rhino who can no longer breed.
Steve Wagner, club spokesman also stated that the animal was also becoming a threat to other wildlife as he is getting more aggressive in his old age.

The Dutch are frugal, not very hard-working and the choice of food here is limited. Yet Daniela Eichenberger says she feels at home in Amsterdam.
Name: Daniela Eichenberger
Nationality: Swiss
City of Residence: Amsterdam
Date of Birth: 16-07-1965
Civil status: Married, one child
Employer: Interbrand, Zintmeijer & Lux
Function: Senior designer
In Amsterdam since: 1999
I met my future husband in Switzerland in 1997 where he was staying at the time. Having lived outside the Netherlands for seven years, he was feeling homesick. I had lived in the Netherlands in 1995, and having enjoyed the experience, I wanted to move there with him.
The Netherlands is fairly advanced in the field of design so this was very interesting for me, a graphic designer. I had the good fortune I was able to keep working for the same company (and still my employer) but in the English division.
The initial period in the Netherlands was difficult and perplexing as I found myself in the midst of two cultures: by day I had to speak English at work and get to know English culture; and in the evening with my partner I found myself back surrounded by Dutch culture.
I had to improve my English for work and I applied myself to doing this straight away. After about a year, I felt the need to express myself in Dutch. The decisive moment was when I was pregnant with my son. Suddenly, I wondered: What language do I want to give birth in? In English, German or Dutch? It was then that I really took the step to learn Dutch.
I feel much closer to people when I speak Dutch; you can get personal so much quicker. Learning Dutch has really changed an awful lot of things for me and I think it is a major plus point. I just couldn't live here for six years and not speak the language. I want to feel at home here!
Now I am much more interested in Dutch news rather than the news from Switzerland because I live here. Many expats around me don't have this attitude; they are far more interested in their lands of origin.
Frugal living
The frugality here really struck me in the beginning! People constantly talk about money, it is very much a theme. In Switzerland you never talk about it; it is just something you have. I found the Dutch attitude unusual, negative.
I have also been challenged about this on occasion after buying something expensive. People have said: "you would be better off buying this [one] as it is half the price". "No", I reply. "I am buying this because I like it better". People in the Netherlands often go for bargains rather than quality.
This also applies to food. Switzerland is naturally influenced by France and Italy, and you see that quite clearly. Much more attention is paid to cooking and the dinner table is also far more important than in the Netherlands. In the Netherlands, you move to the sofa after dinner. Swiss people talk a lot more about food. Now I sometimes get annoyed with my Swiss friends: "If you make this sauce you have to use these herbs" or "have you tired this recipe before?"
The quality of food products in Swiss supermarkets is far higher and the there is a great choice, for example in terms of biological items. Albert Heijn does not really compare to that!
All the same I really like it here; I feel at at home in the Netherlands. This has a lot to do with Amsterdam. The people here are fairly young, it is international and it is not too big. I can so everything on my bike and that is very relaxing. Riding from my home to work over the canals I don't come across any cars.
There are terraces everywhere and people sit outside on the front step of their building when the weather is good. That would be unimaginable in Switzerland. That would be too invasive; people could see what you are eating!
Dutch people are much more open about those sort of things, they are more self-assured and they don't worry as much as what other people will think about them. They are also big and talk loudly; they are always very present. The Swiss are more reserved, cautious and reluctant to reveal themselves like that – enjoyment is more internal.
If I compare Amsterdam to a Swiss city... Zürich is very peaceful and tidy; the people are subdued. No one speaks loudly or laughs in the bus. Amsterdam is much livelier.
Koninginnedag (Queens Day) is so Dutch: everything is possible and everything is allowed; everyone is together, there are no classes or social barriers anymore. It is a real national party. You can see the Dutch are very proud of their country. They wear orange clothes and paint the Dutch flag on their faces. That sort of nationalism would be unthinkable in Switzerland.
Swiss people are very (self)critical and serious. They analyse a situation first, pose critical questions and then give their opinion. This process is well thought-out and precise. If you say something, it has to be founded. People are very well read and if you assert something, you will often be asked: 'where did you read that?'
When I came here first people thought I was very serious!
I think Dutch openness has a lot to do with the situation and history of the country. Of old, the Netherlands has been more focused on the sea and far off countries than Europe. That has led to more open-mindedness.
The landscape also plays a role: it is so flat and the heavens are so high, leading to openness and progressiveness. The Swiss are more focused on Europe and the surrounding countries, and that leads to a more limited view. And the high mountains make this literally true as well. The mentality is more short-sighted and conservative.
As a Swiss person, I love that the sea is so close by here.
Dutch people divide up work and free time much more and don't necessarily have to finish off the item they are working on before clocking off. In Switzerland it is normal to be overworked without being paid overtime. People don't assume they are being exploited by the boss – you just get on with it. Though, you know, I think the mentality here is healthier.
Yet is it unbelievable how many people here are in the work disability pension system (WAO). There are so many overworked people here – I don't understand it at all. You have to be very bad in Switzerland before you want to get away from it all!
It is great that it is relatively easy to buy a home here. The majority of people in Switzerland live in rented accommodation in an apartment complex. There are so many rules in Switzerland and that makes it very expensive. For instance, the building has to be able to withstand earthquakes and you have to build a bunker under your house.
This makes Swiss houses sturdier and the workmanship is far better than in the Netherlands; no pipes over the walls, everything neatly painted, nice details. Here, functionality is more important.
My husband and I would not have had our own home if we had lived in Switzerland. This for me is a big advantage of living in the Netherlands. I enjoy living here and am also very proud of it.
When all is said and done I have make it in another country. I am raising my (Dutch) child here, I have friends here, and I feel at home here. I'm going to stay!

Don't imagine that college is all about getting good grades and finding a job after graduation. A large part of the university growth experience is about participating in extracurricular activities such as student government, writing for the school newspaper, or joining one of the many student clubs on campus.
It isn't necessary to take a leadership position in a student organization on campus, in order to enjoy contributing to student life at your school. Sure, you have to live somewhere, but spending your freshman year in the dorms can give you the added benefit of making friends and establishing a social circle. Consider signing up for a meal plan, and gaining 10 pounds in the dining hall. Again, the purpose is to socialize and meet other students outside the classroom.

What is the Realistic Trader?
We are a community of hundreds of positive like-minded individuals who Learn, Trade, Grow and Socialise.
We believe that trading is just one of many pillars you need to build for your Financial Parthenon. Our founder (Siam) made his wealth through trading and business so naturally, trading and setting up a new business is what we help people to embark on.
- Learn how to detect potential market crashes and actually profit from them, thereby protecting your family's savings for the future
- Go from zero knowledge to successfully trading currency markets
- Detect and recognise typical trading myths and lies - there is no 'Holy Grail' trading system, only good methods with sound risk management in place
- Grow your trading account by an average of 10-20% per year
You'll be taught how to effectively identify and take advantage of the low risk, high probability outcome trades that Siam is obsessed with and understand how and why they work.
We meet up every month to share and help with trading questions and make lasting friendships. You only need your laptop, the free software we set you up with and you'll begin to see your mindset and life transform over time.
What do people really think about our courses?
We take immense pleasure in the fact that we've never had to refund any of our workshops. We know our students love what we do because they tell us…
Gary Martin

Director, Unlocking the Will to Act
"Siam doesn't just tell you what to do, he takes time to explain the financial system so that you understand why you are doing it. I have learned so much more than how to place a trade. I can't believe I've been so ignorant of such an important facet of life for so long."Willie Cruickshank
"Fantastic balance of content and trading strategies to get a new trader started. Proactively answered all of my pre-course perceptions (e.g. What gives me the opportunity to do well in a field full of professionals?) Feeling ready and motivated to start!"Tony Tilstone
"I come from a financial background (accountant and having worked in an investment bank). However I found the course insightful and provided me with a basis for getting going straight away (albeit with a dummy trading account). Siam's style is engaging, interesting and informative. Thanks and looking forward to using a new life skill!"Ben Fells
"I have been Spread Betting on Forex since 2011 – initially with limited success until my strategy became outdated which led to this being a constantly making loss activity for me. However, during the second part of 2015 I attended the 2-day course provided by The Realistic Trader. The programme has allowed me to turn around my performance and I simply cannot recommend it enough. The design is for people who have no trading/markets knowledge at all. Surprisingly, it is worthwhile for people with experience as well e.g. I had a few years of experience, nonetheless, found it highly beneficial. It was refreshing to reinforce the correct parts of my knowledge (risk managements, understanding of the economy, etc.) while improving on the bits which desperately needed it (my outdated trading strategy). In addition to all of that, The Realistic Trader has managed to build a community (people who attend the courses have the option to stay in touch via the Gold Service) that is friendly, supportive, and helps you keep track of current events. I am so pleased with it that I am currently enrolled on an advance course in Feb '16."Aleksander Hristov
"Siam, I have not thanked you personally since our course last week. I feel that it would be worth people just going on your course even if they did not want to learn how to trade. As the majority of people do not have any idea of what is going on and could get very burnt."James Browne
"Would definitely recommend the course. Siam is an inspirational teacher, highly motivated and attentive. The course is interesting, exciting and leaves you feeling positive about how you can realistically make changes to your financial future…"Georgie Rodwell
"Me and the Missis loved every min of the 2 day course... It was packed full of content and we learnt loads... A real game changer!!!! ??"Wayne Barcham
"I started the online course couple of weeks ago and I'm absolutely happy all kind of support I have from Siam and the team. Highly recommend!"Gabor Balthazar
"I found his ideas and knowledge refreshing plus very interesting so thought it was just silly NOT to go on the course! "Ralph Collier
"I came knowing nothing and have enjoyed learning new skills and knowledge. I look forward to testing my trial account."Julia Harvey
"Having attended one of Siams free 2 hour seminars I couldn't wait to get started and quickly signed up for the online course. Siams teaching method is very easy to follow and very effective - a great introduction to the forex market. This is a highly recommended community to be a part of."Craig Usher
"Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant! The first investment course I have been on which I actually believed. Siam did not make any outrageous claims about profits and was very realistic and honest/conservative about what we could expect to make."Matt Emmerson
"Without a doubt, Siam is the leader in this industry with detailed, clear and relevant content that is 100% ready for implementation. I will be recommending all of my family and business colleagues to take this course! This should be taught at school!"Richard Dwyer
"Siam opened up a whole new world for me that I never even knew existed. I am cautiously optimistic but motivated and looking forward to putting everything into practice in my dummy account."Madele De Lange
"I always had an interest in the financial markets and trading but lacked the knowledge and understanding to deliver real gains. I joined The Realistic Trader in June this year and it has been by far the best investment I have ever made.
I now have the knowledge and skills needed to trade and have already seen returns that have exceeded my investment. The ongoing support has been first class and I would have no hesitation recommending The Realistic Trader to anyone."Sam Huetson
"I have attended the course and continued learning via the on-line tutorials. I cannot praise Siam enough for all the help and support throughout the course and how invaluable the tutorials are. I have dyslexia and have always struggled with learning and Siam has made this course very user friendly using different mediums of learning throughout.
It is clear that Siam has a passion for teaching trading to students of all ages and abilities, this was evident from the seminar I attended before completing the live course. I have really valued the learning environment and found the course was both supportive and empowering. Siam has great patience, understanding and remains supportive of all questions no matter how silly you think they may be.
I would highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to be empowered into creating their own financial future."Liz T
"Very inspirational person with so much useful and insightful information. Lovely environment for the course and great to engage with like minded intersting people. Very informative yet still so much more to learn! It's just the beginning!"Alex Collier
"I now feel fully informed of how to trade FOREX. Amazing programme. Thanks Siam!"Maria Collins
"Siam's course is brilliant! Anyone wanting to empower themselves in uncertain financial times and find out how to take control of their financial future should definitely do this course!"Alex Ward
"Good pace, coherent and understandable structure. The course has taught me in 2 days a subject I would never have understood on my own."Matt
"Started from the bottom up. Simple and easy to understand and took the muddle and confusion out of FOREX trading. Was a great course. Siam teaches you the basics plus a bit more so you can go away and practice on you own. He enables you to make your own money and provides you with an essential life skill. I would recommend anyone to do this course, even just for the education on finances!"Sarah Heaton
"Thanks very much for the knowledge imparted during the course. I feel I really learnt a lot and am looking forward to practising and then real trading. I am sure I shall be signing up for Gold membership later this month."Stuart Jeffrey
"Second time round, consolidation of learning and new bonus content was brilliant. Now feeling more confident to live trade."Richard Dwyer
"I am a new member, and was a bit apprehensive about the course being offered at first.
However after watching the free video's initially, i was hooked! Siam is a genuinely really nice guy, and his mission is to help people like me break free from the rat race, and learn new financial life skills which can really be implemented around a really busy work life, and he provides a systematic and progressive understanding of the markets, to really capitalise on movements which occur everyday! I never really understood how one could profit and benefit from a market downturn, but now i have all the necessary knowledge and skills to be able to potentially benefit from the markets in whatever economic conditions that exist. Thanks to Siam i can put my savings to some use and hopefully one day soon i can break free from the daily grind and have enough of a stash to not worry about finances ever again! Thanks Siam, keep it up and i look forward to progressing my understanding and knowledge further with time. "
"Attended the Course in August 2015.
This is really a must do for anyone interested in their own financial awareness and freedom. It will truly open your eyes to a new world and provide you with the tools for you to become a successful trader.
It is a relaxed environment, the content relevant and Siam has an immense amount of knowledge. Most important is that he is genuine and honest and this is no get rich quick scheme.
"I recently paid to do the online course with Siam which I found to be excellent value and has taught me much about FOREX trading. I am currently cycling around the world and haven't yet put my training into practice but will be doing so on my return to the UK in March 2016. The greatest thing I like about the course provided by Siam is that he comes across as a genuine guy and doesn't proclaim to make you rich overnight, but if you follow his strategy correctly you will come into profit and be able to semi-retire within 5-10 years. Also when you watch his videos, you know that you're not going to win every trade, but because of the mathematics involved you can afford to lose 6 out of 10 times and still be in profit. Once the on-line course is complete you can elect to become a Gold member at a monthly cost which provides you with online advice from Siam as well as a trader forum and other perks such as a monthly dinner. Siam has produced many additional training videos which he provides to his members and there is a real community spirit amongst the people who have gone on his training course. If you are interested in learning about Foreign Exchange Trading (FOREX) I would very strongly recommend looking up the "The Realistic Trader"Clive Sturdy
"I was never interested in FOREX because I've been in property for 10 years but when I saw Siam and his approach, I was interested. The course was full of content and no upsells. Core methods to use and realistic targets. I'm now confident in my new ability. Thanks Siam."Lawrence Nisbett
"As a qualified accountant, I figured that I would 'just know' most of it as it's 'all numbers'. I was happy to be wrong! Siam's informal yet professional approach was fantastic and enabled me to work at my own speed without feeling intimidated by the 'faster students'. I would 100% recommend The Realistic Trader for your trading and investing training."Sophie Lockhart
"Until you truely learn about investment and how it really works, don't entertain the idea of it. This course gives you the skills and knowledge necessary to enter the investment and trading world with both feet solidly secured on the ground. Thanks Siam!"James Allinson
"Excellent. Huge knowledge base presented in a simple fashion. I would highly recommend the course and Siam to my peers."Rich Williams
"Siam is great at explaining FOREX trading to beginners. He explains the markets, strategies and chart pattern extremely well and is open and honest about his experience to help you avoid the same mistakes!"Aaron Kara
"Transformational insight into the entire financial system. Best thing I have done in my life till today. Trading demistified, really basic to me now. Thanks a million Siam."Evans Doe
"Looking forward to applying the theoretical and practical aspects over the following months…"Martin Barnes
"This guy really knows his stuff. He explains in a simple, down to earth manner, not only what to do, but also why, and what might happen if you don't. Great guy taught me his business at my level. Highly recommended."Julie Birch
"Did not have any clue about trading before doing this course. I've learned a lot about the financial world!"Raj Jethva
"What I liked about the course was the jargon free way Siam presents. It made it easy to understand and absorb."Ian Smith
"Came into the course with no background knowledge but with a masterplan to earn some cash. Siam catered for all levels of experience/expertise and never left a question unanswered. Of particular impact was how not to trade as Siam allows everybody to learn from his mistakes (saving us years of pain)! Left the course confident in starting a 3 month practice account that will result in good profits."Ben Whittaker
"The Realistic Trader is a fantastic 2 day course that will hold and grip you and immerse you in an ocean of mind blowing information. You will learn valuable skills that can change your life, be positive and make the jump. You won't regret it!"Mark Famer-Wright
"You can do it, what's stopping you and inspiring; that's the key messages from Siam. Of course Siam also teaches you how to trade the forex markets utilising his extensive experience of trading and financial literacy. Teaching is engaging and interactive. Importantly Siam and Ellie provide an extensive support infrastructure utilising social media and face to face group meetings to reinforce and continually extend your knowledge.
I can only recommend you join this vibrant group."Paul Saunders
"Really good methodical course. Open to all!"Martine Watker
"Having just completed 2.5 days training with Siam Kidd it made me realise the importance of being equipped with the knowledge which Siam bestowed upon 8 (maximum) of the attendees very generously.He had a true interest in how we get the appropriate training in order to start trading. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to make their money work for them and free up valuable time to contribute to the loved ones, society and communities."Ramila Patel
"Highly recommended! I came knowing nothing and I'm leaving with some really useful knowledge and practical tools I can start using immediately."Adam Butler
"Whole content of the 2 day course completely exceeds expectation and not only view the financial systems differently, I now have the knowledge to exploit risk free opportunities."Dan Ledgerwood
"This man will change your life! If you are interested in adding another income stream, gaining a better understanding of how the financial world really works and learning a life skill then Siam is your man. A genuinely nice guy with a big heart who is extremely passionate about educating people in how to set yourself up for future financial success. Siam's knowledge on the financial system is vast and he uses that to teach in a hugely accessible way. Honestly, just take a look at one of his videos and listen to him speak, it will tell you all you need to know."Simon Jeffries
"Awesome course. I looked at various trading courses before and became disillusioned with the unrealistic promises and obvious hard sell techniques. Siam is the exception to the rule. A genuine and honest teacher and all-round nice bloke. The course is pitched at just the right level. Not over-complicated but incredibly eye-opening. No false promises made - only believable, realistic earning potentials. The Gold membership alone is invaluable and you are made to feel as if you are part of one big family. Highly recommended to everybody wishing to embark on a successful trading journey. 10/10."Nicholas Allen
"Was not sure about it to begin with having seen many "get rich quick schemes" but this is NOT one of them! Superb."John Graham
"Having avoided any trading courses in the past due to a perception that entry into this new skill for life would be far too complex to master. I was astounded at how straight forward and understandable Siam has explained everything. You must go on this course."Tim Jenkins
"I'd followed Siam for a solid 6 months before investing in his online course and a further 6 months before becomining a mirror account holder, and so far Siam has delivered on all that he has said. I'd shopped around before going with the realistic trader but i've found Siam approach to teaching is easier to follow than the vast majority of other providers, and am enjoying my financial lessons. Cheers Siam and team."David Woods
"I am so pleased that I decided to do Siam's course. It gave me huge clarity and confidence and I believe that I can trade successfully. I loved the practical hands on elements and realistic objectives. Cannot recommend highly enough!"Philippa Levinson
"Really enjoyed the recent course, thought it was very well constructed and the content naturally flowed from one subject to the other. I have been on numerous courses for work over the last 15 years or so and only a third were as informative and as full of quality content as yours. It really was excellent. I listened to Rich Dad, Poor Dad again today whilst travelling to and from Birmingham and it made even more sense the second time around in light of the course."Stuart Brown
"Great content. Really liked the learning day followed by the practical day"John Arko
"Great and a must have life skill. Everyone should do it!"Ricardo Santos
"A thoroughly informative 2 day experience that has confirmed what I thought I knew and filled massive gaps of things I didn't know. If you have any interest in trading, do it!"Nic Bennett & James Hay
"A really good course which is incredibly informative. Siam presents the course very well and makes everyone flle comfortable and at ease. I would higly recommend anyone with an intrest in wealth and trading to invest with Siam and Realistic Trader. Very happy indeed."Sean Alexander
"As a business entrepreneur I am always looking for new business opportunities or product to fill the need of a market but with the realistic trader course I am actually turning my own knowledge into a profitable asset.

I had no trading experience but I am an accountant by trade so I thought I had a good understanding of finances. The course blew my mind! A simple structured plan to trade in FX risk management and investment strategy. Loved it all. Also the other people on the course were really friendly and I think we all had a great time. Thanks to Siam and the Team."Simon Hunt

"I have just studied the on-line course. The videos are very easy to follow and really informative.

"Whatever I write here is not going to do this trading course true justice. I met Siam, in a twist of fate, about a year ago at my golf club. I gave him, a complete stranger a lift to our other golf course. Little was I to know that tiny piece of generosity would later be payed back many times over. A friend recommended this trading course. I took the plunge and opted for the online version, it's been a revelation. Siam's teaching method makes all aspects easy to understand and no question is too much trouble to answer or resolve.

You will come away with a totally different outlook about money and how to make it work for you. On top of that Siam is a genuinely nice guy. Totally recommended."Haydon Bishop
"I took one of the realistic trader online courses after trying to find a reliable forex training course. Having some experience of sports exchanges i wasn't completely new to the idea, but if you are a complete novice the course really does give you a fantastic foundation in forex.
The support service that was provided with the course was excellent and every question was answered with a comprehensive answer.
I highly recommend this course to anyone who is looking for financial independence."
"Do you know about the financial markets? And when the next stock market crash will happen? Then get all you need to know from Siam and the rest of the team at The Realistic Trader.
I did one of his first ever courses and haven't looked back since! I would thoroughly recommend doing either his online course, or his two day workshop. The amount of knowledge you will gain will blow your mind, then you can use it to profit from the markets making at least 24% ROI a year!
Here's to the future! "Gary Martin

"I've been looking to get some proper training on FOREX for a while. Most of the courses around seem to offer the earth, cost a fortune and don't exude Trust. I met Siam through an unrelated business and was struck by his honesty and integrity around his experiences of trading. I'm an ex Detective Sergeant and have a really good bullshit detector. I jumped at the chance to learn from him and did his two day course.It delivers in spades. He's very savvy around the subject, has loads of experience to pass on and keeps the training realistic without making stupid promises.If you want FOREX training done properly and realistically, Siam's course is the only place to go bar none."Ashley Brown
"Lots of common sense with a focus on safe trading."Richard Heaton

I recommend you invest in your self and start here, you'll be amazed and on the best path to grow."Daniel Green

I have learnt how to technically analyse FOREX charts, how to interpret FOREX indicators, how to spot trends, and how to find entry and exit points within the market. The high standard of Siam's presentational skills and ability to demonstrate his knowledge in an engaging manner further complemented a course that's format was enough to impress on its own. I would not hesitate to recommend Siam's courses to anyone interested in gaining knowledge in FOREX trading!"Chris King

Of course Siam also teaches you how to trade the forex markets utilising his extensive experience of trading and financial literacy. Teaching is engaging and interactive.

"The price may seem off putting at first but when you do both days you will come out realising you have learnt some valuable insight into the financial system, how it operates and more importantly that trading isn't necessarily as complicated as you think. And now I have gained a valuable skill which is highly transferable in all areas of life and can help earn money on the side."Kiwi Campbell

Well recommended."Sara Greenfield

"I have never undertaken a course where by the intention is to hopefully increase ones money, for fear that they're all scams. However after researching Siam and going to the free seminar I felt confident in my judgement that Siam is a genuine guy with good morals. Now after completing the course I still feel this is the case, and the knowledge I have gained along with confidence in my ability to follow his rules and the lambo has convinced me to dedicate 6-12 months to this to hopefully new life skill. Thank you Siam."Rachel Robertson
"The Realistic traders course was an eye opener and brilliantly tutored by Siam Kidd, he is enthusiastic, honest and exceptionally knowledgeable and respected on this subject, I would encourage anybody to partake in it, even if their are not interested in trading as it teachers you the fundamental economics of a successful life, l only wish I would have done it earlier, he makes a seemingly complicated subject very easy to understand , also their provide wonderful ongoing support through numerous events. I cannot praise them enough, thank you very much for teaching me a new and very valuable skill. Best regards Rob."Rob
"I had become very disillusioned with spread betting and so called trading gurus after my experience with day trading a few years ago. However, after watching the free video series, attending a free seminar in Norwich and meeting Siam I decided to buy the on-line course about 2 months ago and haven't looked back - my faith has been restored thanks to the Realistic Trader approach and teachings.. Siam is a genuine and ethical person and an all round nice guy who over delivers - I thoroughly 100% recommend the Realistic Trader."Ruth Watson
"I've already attended the 2 day course, of which was set out very well and very easy to follow for someone who had very limited experience in trading the currency markets. The Realistic Trader community is full of great individuals and we meet up once a month for a mini workshop and meal, so it has a proper family / togetherness feeling...... I've attended many courses that just leave you to it, once completed - NOT at The Realistic Trader.
Looking forward to increasing my knowledge base over the coming months / years with The Realistic Trader team and generate the profits that forex trading can bring..... Cheers Siam & Ellen :-)"Chris Ashmore
Attended the course in Nov 2015. Absolutely blown away by the amount of information crammed in to 2.5 days. I genuinely feel confident that I can utilise a very simple trading strategy and grow my account by 2% right out of the gate!
Siam comes across as a genuine guy who really wants his students to succeed not only in trading but for their life goals as well. I predict that this course has the potential to change my life forever.

Trading remains the core of the course. I have really appreciated the honesty and clarity. No promise of the holy grail, the magic indicator, the faultless strategy.
