Nathalia Ramos: These Photos Bring to Life the Meaning of Work
"In the 1800s, the Industrial Revolution changed the world as we knew it. Hand production methods shifted to machines, productivity soared and the world became interconnected like never before. Today, we see a similar shift in progress. From self-driving cars and self-service checkout machines to the rise of the shared economy, we find ourselves wondering how these rapid advancements in technology will impact how we work -- and more importantly, who works. We decided to explore this new transition in an artistic way."
"There is a vast supply of data out there warning of jobs that may soon be rendered irrelevant. That data came to life when we photographed and spoke with the individuals behind the statistics. Most of the workers seemed unfazed by warnings about the future, standing firmly in the belief that what they bring to the table could never be replicated by a machine. The passion and dedication of these workers is inspiring. How will we manage to adapt to revolutionary technologies while still holding on to the humanity that makes us so unique? For this series, we photographed a variety of workers, showcasing the past and the future of work. The photos are shot by Mario Sanchez at Dust Studios in Los Angeles." - Nathalia Ramos stated.

"The software his company has developed will undoubtedly contribute to a loss of jobs in the hotel industry, but he doesn't see that as an issue because of the added value to the customer experience. About dealing with traditional hotel receptionists, he said, "Look at it this way. I paid $1,000 to stay at your property, and I'm already mad by the time I get in my room." With this technology, the AI system can engage hotel guests in real time, answering questions and preparing the entire stay to their liking before they have even arrived. It's a win for the customer, but what about the employee?" - she added, ending the article with a question, hoping the readers will answer.

'House of Anubis' Cast: Where Are They Now?
5 years. 3 seasons. 12 students. Highest-rated soap opera of the generation. It's a one mystery that had people all around the world talking. Nearly 3 years had passed since the shows' big end in 2013 hit the screens, with the hit 90 minute movie Touchstone of Ra, premiering worldwide.
When Nina was a young girl, both of her parents died in a car accident. As a result of this, she went to live with her father's mother in America. She received a scholarship to Anubis House in England (possibly because she is a good academic student, as shown many times). However, due to an international mix-up of some sort, she arrived late. In this boarding school, she first shares a room with Patricia Williamson. Patricia constantly bullied her because she thought Nina was involved in her best friend and former roommate Joy Mercer's departure or "disappearance".
This is the story that has kept everyone on the edge of their seats. And, of course, let's not forget the famous word SIBUNA that we all know from the bottom to the top. A.K.A. a group of friends originally started by Amber Millington, with purpose of teaming up to solve their problems during their life in the ancient Amun Boarding School. But, speaking of the students, where are they now?
We've gathered all the information we could for you to find out what the House of Anubis casts' lives are like at this moment, years after the show ended.
Nathalia Ramos
Famous with her disappearance, Nathalia, better known as Nina Martin, is a perfect example of a strong and inspiring woman. After her controversial HOA exit, actress surely has been busy. Little did we know about her portraying the lead role of Jill Reynolds in the horror thriller The Damned in 2014, Nathalia has also been extremely active when it comes to much more academic spheres like political science and law enforcement. But politics and university didn't stop Nathalia from reaching success in her career as an actress. After months of hard work and practice, her brand new phsychological thriller "Wildflower", which discusses issues such as mental health and social trauma, will star Nathalia herself. She will portray the protagonist Chloe Moray. The movie is hitting the big screens in April 2016. Watch the official trailer here.Brad Kavanagh
Remember the shy and cute guy who used to blush whenever a girl said 'Hi' to him and obsessed over Nina like crazy? Yeah, I'm talking about Fabian Rutter. Well, the out-standing actor who portrayed him, Brad Kavanagh, sadly decided to delay acting and instead headed to where he began - musical industry. And we would say we're unhappy with his choice, if it wasn't for his amazing voice and talent that proved us wrong. After several years of singing and performing in live concerts and gigs with his band, Brad is now heading in a little different kind of sphere - acoustic videos and projects posted to his same old YouTube channel, now re-titled to Big Moose Productions. Whatever that means. Brad is trying his best to reach his goal of becoming a famous singer, and step by step, receiving a bigger feedback from various ammount of new listeners. You can check out his YouTube channel every week for new updates, due to Brad's decision of posting new videos every single Wednesday. Little team, big sound, as the header of his channel says. Keep going Brad, we're with you.
Jade Ramsey
Ana Mulvoy-Ten
We wouldn't know the definition of a dedicated fashionista if it wasn't for the one and only Ana Mulvoy-Ten who portrayed the role of HOA's Amber Millington just perfectly. After her appearance in MTV's hit supernatural drama Teen Wolf, as well as portraying Alice in The Girl In The Book, Ana surely has been busy. Not only did she appear in a whole new bunch of stunning photoshoots by her talented (rumoured-boyfriend) photographer Tyler Shields, who has also worked with stars like Holland Roden and Emma Roberts, but Ana also got cast in ABC's brand new novel-based love series starring Bella Thorne, "Famous In Love". The brand new series is set to premiere sometime this year, although the actual date is yet unknown.

Alexandra Shipp
