And the dressers, often poised in the wings, are on hand to help with fastenings and complicated costumes. Zips though can be a nightmare: quick if they run smoothly but disastrous if they stick. There are few things more likely to stress out an actor than the panic of going on stage half dressed.Quick-change costumes are designed so that they can be removed quickly - and rigged so they can be put on quickly… very quickly! Script 2Stressexe is a marketplace where bookings can be bought, sold, and bid on.Here’s how…Let’s say a guy - call him Craig – makes a reservation.It could be for a barber, or membership of a golf club – or maybe it’s for a toy, for his niece.But what happens if Craig can’t use his reservation anymore?Maybe he has to work late. Or maybe the sitter has cancelled.Craig’s place goes to waste.**Listen to all of our podcasts here&nbsp;- you can also watch on YouTube, or say to your smart speaker "Play How Do You Say That?!"About our guest: Bart Kooiman was born and raised in Amsterdam.

We haven't created a new system, but rather developed the existing one. Let's call it a serious evolution. Now, each team member has just six slots for main perks. There is good news for crew members who fulfill several roles at once. It is a "bonus perk" system. If a crew member has a secondary qualification, it will be trained alongside the major one. Bonus perks do not increase the total training time, no matter how many there are.Script 2Losing a child is terrifying.A nightmare many people face every day in our countryTo help locate a child, it takes a company that is everywhere.Introducing: Lost Child AwarenessOur company, the biggest out of home media company here… Turned its billboards into a real-time tool for searching for lost children.With the support of advertisers, every single ad stops, and the search starts.
