The futrue of jobs

What Jobs will not be here in 20 years?

3 jobs that people online thing won't be here:

1. Travel Agents

Now, with the abundance of easy-to-use comparison websites, anybody can arrange their own holiday. All you need is your bank card and a few spare hours to research your destination, with the likes of Skyscanner, Trivago and Opodo tailoring flight and hotel searches to your exact price and date range. Many travel operators have realized this, and are closing down branches to focus on their online offers.

2. Bank Tellers

While banks won’t disappear altogether; many local branches will and already have closed. This is due to the convenience and user-friendly nature of online and telephone banking, where you can make transactions and manage your account with ease – and all from the comfort of your own home, bus or anywhere.

3. Journalists 

Advanced developments in artificial intelligence software mean that soon enough even writing won't be a problem for AI, and in some cases it's already been possible to use it for purposes such as creating quarterly reports. This suggests that in the future content could be created with any human input at all.

However, because the alligator was stuck in this cave with nothing to eat he was very hungry. He felt very grumpy and hungry and would try anything to get out of the cave. One day the alligator found a hole in the side of the cave wall and punched it until it was big enough for him to escape out of.

Costume and design blog post 1

Costume and design

What are costumes?
A set of clothes in a style typical of a particular country or historical period.

How do costumes add to a play?
At the same time, the design must provide strong visual support for the story, concept, and context of the play as a whole. It is my role to ensure that the costumes reflect the visual style of the production and help actors portray their characters on their journey through the play's action.

Why I am interested in costumes?
Because I love seeing amazing dresses on people in all types of movie and show I especially love the 1900s theme of clothes because of how elegant the costumes and design were from the hair to their outfits were gorgeous. And the fashion now days are as beautiful as always from many different designers.
