Seven Tips For Successful Career Management | Health Care Club by Georgia Day
Have you ever missed an opportunity because you were not prepared? I have – one of those times nearly cost me my entire career. My lack of preparation did set my career back 10 years – a very, very painful experience. I spent a great deal of time looking at what I had done right and especially what I had done wrong. I talked with friends and professional associates at length – my final conclusion was that I had neglected some very basic steps. I began to correct the things most often noted and determined I would not let this happen to me again. Little did I know then that the lessons learned would become the basis for a comprehensive career management platform.

Jiffy-make ponchos
Start with new fabric or cut up an old skirt for this summer's most popular topping
Our carefree tie-on poncho is cut in just four identical pieces and put together with simple straight sewing. Best of all, it has a dozen uses, can be made in any number of different fabrics, and cut to any length you like.
For sun wear with skirts, shorts, pants, or bathing suits, make the poncho in cotton or linen and add pockets sized to suit your needs. In silk and soft sheers, cut it longer, edge the top with lace, and you have a nightgown.
The diagram is for size 14. Add or subtract 1/2″ along center front and back seams on diagram — a total of 2″ — for each size change. Seam allowance of 5/8″ is included, except for armholes where 1″ self facing is allowed. Cut facings for front and back neck edges, or bind with bias tape or decorative edging. Armholes can be bound, too — just cut off facing allowance.
Broken lines indicate V neckline. You can make the front V, the back straight, and wear the poncho either way. For shoulder ties of self fabric, cut 4 strips 1-1/2″ by 14″; stitch and turn.
This gay beach top was easily cut from a printed gored skirt that had seen better days. Skirt center seams, which were approximately same as center seams on diagram, were used here.
For this workaday poncho with giant pockets, we used an old cotton dirndl skirt. Straight-of-goods side seams of skirt became poncho side seams. Plaid denim pockets were cut, then topstitched.

Tomorrow starting at 8pm Hawaiian time, I'm going to give it my all and hopefully become lucky number 13 to cross the Molokai (Kaiwi). We will be leaving from Molokai taking off from Kalua Koi and aiming for Makapuu point. My goal is to continue to swim until I reach hopefully Sandy point on Oahu island. There will be no posts during the swim as we are running on a very skeleton but talented crew. Please keep my crew, pilot and me in your thoughts tomorrow evening and Thursday morning as we take on this challenge.
As always these swims would not be possible without help from many coaches, trainers, friends, family, coworkers, crew and pilots. Without them, I cannot participate in my passion. Thank you to all that help me along my journey.Tags: Hawaii, Molokai Channel

In this study we help a state-owned entity that is essentially dying and preparing for a future where it possibly does not exist. Despite numerous consulting studies since the early 1990's to prepare for a dystopian postal future ravaged with the scourge of email and the rise of nimble upstarts like Fedex and, eventually, Amazon, the client has posted declining revenues for 17 straight years and no profits for 12 of those years.
Numerous efforts to leverage the assets of the postal service have all failed. A postal savings account initiative failed. Using the mail trucks to map routes and send information back to GPS servers for a fee failed. Managing delivery for Amazon has led to a surge in volume but a steep drop in margins due to the need to work longer hours and weekends which have driven up overtime pay. Postal branches are aging, the fleet maintenance costs are going up and the pension plan is underfunded.
The board has decided not to fight the inevitable but to pull back and focus on just a few core areas. The board has endorsed a plan to spin-off/sell promising divisions and use the funds from the disposal/IPO to resuscitate the core postal business and recapitalize the pension plan.
The key part of this entire plan is therefore successfully identifying promising parts of the business and fixing them prior to their sale. The client wants to restructure the Courier & Freight division before spinning it off to compete against Amazon, Fedex and UPS. Follow the team as they validate the boards' plan and prepare the division to compete as a standalone company.

The D.C. ballot initiative voted on last month that would outlaw the tip-wage system is all but dead.
Last week a majority of D.C. Council members introduced a bill to repeal Initiative 77, filed the day after hundreds of tipped employees, alongside nightlife and hospitality co-workers and managers, visited them at their offices.
The "Tipped Wage Workers Fairness Amendment Act" would set aside the surprisingly competitive election result on a proposal originally expected to win by a wide margin. The measure instead passed by a differential of only five points, with fewer than 10 percent of registered voters casting a ballot in favor.
With several additional Council members expected to also vote for repeal, and with Mayor Bowser strongly opposing the proposal, its ultimate fate offers little suspense.
There will, of course, be an elaborate funeral in the fall when the D.C. Council returns from summer recess, highlighted by a marathon public hearing anticipated to run through the early morning hours and perhaps become the lengthiest in city history.
While the eventual outcome is predictive, scores of tipped bartenders and servers at many of the more than 1,700 bars, restaurants, and nightclubs will want to take the time to testify and throw their handful of dirt on the proposal's grave.
The D.C. Council held a similar "show trial" on the tip-wage system in 2016, subsequently deciding to side with workers in order to protect tipped employee jobs, livelihoods, incomes, and their ability to remain residents of a city they love. Notably, a much higher percentage of tipped restaurant and bar employees are District residents than the overall workforce employed at D.C. businesses.
Tipped worker concerns about being able to afford living in the city or surrounding metropolitan area if essentially transitioned to hourly wage compensation at a level far below their current actual and potential earning ability became a major theme in their pre-vote pleas.
If Initiative 77 is repealed, it will mark the fifth time that elected officials have set aside a ballot initiative in the relatively short history of Home Rule and scant number of publicly voted proposals. As a Washington Post editorial noted last weekend, "The home-rule charter fully empowers them to alter or eliminate Initiative 77, as they would any other statute." The Post editorial board sided with repeal, saying, "we think that's in the public interest … because it was a solution in search of a problem," adding it was evident that many workers opposed the initiative.
Local tipped workers reflect the normative homogeneity of the District's liberal political zeitgeist. Worker frustration, however, that liberals were not listening to them was the source of great anxiety for them. One D.C. bartender commented last week on Twitter, in reply to a thread of those fretting over Council repeal, "I have to get back behind my bar, while you argue over my livelihood."
To not respect and support tipped workers would merely reinforce what they already fear: That local liberals are more enamored toward a preconceived political notion than willing to listen to those who will be harmed by a policy change.
To continue to do battle with workers tells them that the left believes complex and nuanced economic issues are simple, that co-working independent small business operators are corporate devils, that worker opinions don't really matter, and that abstract policy prescriptions are more important than actual people directly affected.
That's not a "good look" for so-called progressives, especially as all of the "further-left," and Initiative-77-supporting, challenger candidates suffered defeat.
Despite angst by the far-left over repeal of the plebiscite, they should welcome and embrace retention of the current wage system.
Not only do an overwhelming majority of workers support existing law, and worked hard to educate voters about a misleadingly worded ballot initiative causing confusion over the issue, what sense is there in angering and alienating one of the largest groups of workers in the city?
There isn't any.

We've often been asked about the origin of our farm name, BriarCroft, as it is a bit unusual. I point toward our back field when I explain: banks of blackberry bushes and vines on the periphery of our woods, covering an old barbwire fence, and literally becoming fence itself in their overwhelming growth. So that is the "briar" and the "croft" is our little Scottish "farm on a hill".
The blackberry vines seem like trouble 90% of the year–growing where they are not welcome and reaching out and grabbing passersby without discriminating between human, dog or horse. But for about 3 weeks in late August and early September, they yield black gold–bursting, swelling, unimaginably sweet fruit that is worth the hassle borne the rest of the weeks of the year.
Today I was on a mission. I wanted to make a blackberry cobbler for a family dinner to serve warm with vanilla ice cream–a true once a year treat to offer up.
It has been an unusually dry summer here in the Pacific Northwest with little rain at all since July, so the fields are brown and even the usually lush blackberry vines are starting to dry. The berries themselves are rich from the sun, but a bit smaller than typical. The Haflingers have been fed hay for the past several weeks as they are turned out in the fields in the mornings as there is not enough pasture for them without the supplement–we are about 6 weeks ahead of schedule in feeding hay.
I had grown a little suspicious the last couple nights as I brought the Haflingers into the barn for the night as several of the mares turned out in the back field were bearing purplish stains on their chests and front legs, and one even had a tell-tale purplish mark on her muzzle with a short blackberry vine still painfully stuck in her lower lip that I extracted for her. Hmmmm. Raiding the berries. Desperate drought forage behavior in an extremely efficient eating machine.
So this evening I headed down the path to the back field, not seeing the mares until I rounded the corner of the woods, and headed toward the berries. They had heard the Haflingers in the other fields talking to me as I passed, and were already headed up to see what was up. When they saw the bowl in my hand, that was it. They mobbed me. I was
So with three mares in tow, I approached the berry bank. It was ravaged. Trampled. Haflinger poop piles everywhere. All that were left were clusters of gleaming black berries up high overhead, barely reachable on my tip toes, and only reachable if I walked directly into the vines. The mares stood in a little line behind me, pondering me as I pondered my dilemma. I looked back at them and told them they were berry thieves and they weren't getting a single one from me.
I set to work picking what I could reach, snagging, ripping and bloodying my hands and arms, despite my sleeves, determined that I was not going to give up on this vision of steaming blackberry cobbler and vanilla ice cream that I'd entertained all day. Pretty soon I had mares on either side of me, diving into the brambles and reaching up to pick what they could reach as well, unconcerned about the thorns that tore at their sides and muzzles. They were like sharks in water–completely focused on their prey and amazingly skilled at
grabbing just the black berries, and not the pale green or red ones. Three plump Haflingers and one *plumpish* woman willingly accumulating scars in the name of sweetness.
When my bowl was full, I extracted myself from the brambles and contemplated how I was going to safely make it back to the barn without being mugged. Not a problem. I adopted that "look" and that "voice" and they obediently trailed behind me, happy to be put in their stalls for their nightly grain, a gift from me with no thorns or vines attached.
Thorns are indeed part of our everyday life. They stand in front of much that is sweet and good and precious to us. They tear us up, bloody us, make us cry, make us beg for mercy.
Yet thorns did not stop salvation, did not stop goodness, did not stop the promise of sweetness to come. We simply can wait to be fed: a gift dropped from heaven.
Anyone ready for blackberry cobbler?

"What a phantasmagorically strange conflict the Arab-Israeli war had become! Here was a Saudi-educated, anti-Shiite (but nevertheless Iranian-backed) Hamas theologian accusing a one-time Israeli Army prison official-turned-reporter of spying for Yasir Arafat's Fatah, an organization that had once been the foremost innovator of anti-Israeli terrorism but was now, in Mr. Rayyan's view, indefensibly, unforgivably moderate. "
I'm not even going to try and explain this. Check out the video.
"According to the release, AOL hopes to launch 30 new sites in 2009, using the same model it has employed for its current successes: low-cost sites that target niche audiences, such as TheBoot.com, its popular country music site, and StyleList.com. which focuses on men's fashion."
" …investigative journalists, social scientists, political opposition researchers, social justice activists, public interest attorneys, business intelligence types, [and] amateur dirt diggers at the fringes, posting their findings to blogs, message boards, email lists, zines, and elsewhere."

Going about your honeymoon planning with your travel agent
Planning a honeymoon with the right travel agent will everything well planned out with being worried about tickets, reservations and enjoy a great holiday. Yes, it is to research and book a holiday online with a few clicks buy for an outing such as your honeymoon getting the right travel agent to do so has many benefits. Itinerary options are the most complicated in planning a trip, travel agents do this for a living left in the right hand and enhance your globetrotting experience. Not only that, travel agents have access to the best discounts, hotel reservations and discounts being in the business so, here are a few pointers to help find the right agent for you.
Getting a bit of research done on the country you plan to visit and the type of itinerary you like to have along with what you are willing to spend on it is a good start. You can prepare a shortlist of two to three places before you meet your agent. Browsing online will give you a fair idea of the costs of a particular destination along with what are the must do's there.
The best agents work as consultants, their experience can be a real asset when planning out your honeymoon. You can get a lot of insights on the localities the hotels are based on, the best places to go out and dine and also how you can avoid spills in your itinerary. Agents that have plenty of images and displays in the office is a great way to ask a few questions just to know how much they know about a particular place.
The American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA) is a great place to get started if you are looking for agents that have the right credibility associated with them as the ASTA does look at complaints registered with them and further investigate it even revoking memberships if found at fault. Since you are planning your honeymoon trip here, an agent with the experience of being in the business for years along with the right credentials will be in a better position to plan the entire trip for you than someone who is not. Many have certifications as a Certified Travel Counselor or even as an Destination Specialists for a pre-defined set of countries will help to know the agents background.
Travel agents do charge a fee for their consultation more so to avoid 'window-shoppers' that visit them just to plan and put at itinerary together and then go-ahead and book the tickets themselves. You will see agents that waive off this fee once you are ready to book the trip with them, nevertheless if you find value in what the agent is providing you with, making room for an small fee for a well planned honeymoon is worth it.Many honeymooners work with a work for their trip and being upfront with the agent will help him to plan and make the necessary adjustments as required depending on your priorities. You might be keen on living in the main city area and don't mind comprising on the size or quality of the room, informing the agent in advance will help accordingly. The dates of travel also make a difference on the trips spending due to seasonal pricing or discounts during a particular period.

The Value of Vacation Bible School
Jesus loves the little children, all the children of the world.
Red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in His sight.
Jesus loves the little children of the world.
This song we learned and sang when we were children. We teach our children this tune as well. This teaching is also in line with the teaching of Jesus when He said, "Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 19:14). Jesus again spoke of children when He said, "Whoever receives one of these little children in My name receives Me; and whoever receives Me, receives not Me but Him who sent Me" (Mark 9:37).
This is the scriptural basis of why we do Vacation Bible School. Those three words, Vacation Bible School, evoke special memories in the lives of many. It was in VBS that many came to faith in Jesus Christ. For others, it was the precursor to their commitment to Christ as they learned of God's love for them. The spiritual journey for many in our church can be traced back to VBS following the example of Jesus loving and teaching the children.
Vacation Bible School has changed over the years to stay current with the times. Today Bible School is one week long almost everywhere. The daily sessions contain the use of modern technology to illustrate Bible truths along with the songs, recreation, and snacks. Many churches today are convening their Bible schools in the evening to ensure there are enough teachers to fully staff the School. We, at Birchman, are very fortunate to still provide a morning VBS. This is possible because of the sacrifice of the teachers and workers. Some even schedule their vacation time during the week of Bible School so they can participate.
Contemporary Vacation Bible School has not always been like today. Some can remember the time when VBS was two weeks long! (Just that thought strikes terror in many teachers today). The children used to have projects that would take two weeks to construct. The latest "technology" of yesteryear was a flannel graph and possibly a chalk talk. The last day of Bible School was a "field day" which included games along with a picnic.
The look and feel of Bible School may have changed over the years but its purpose has not changed. The French novelist Alphonse Karr said, "The more things change, the more they stay the same." Flannel graphs may have been replaced with videos but the message is still the same; Jesus loves the little children.
Where can a person make a better investment than in the life of another, especially a child? Only eternity will disclose the total dividend paid on the investment made into these young lives. Many who have little riches here on earth will be greatly rewarded for their love, compassion, and truth they have built into these little ones. How grateful I am for a church that is willing to pull her resources together for such a prospective ministry.

Are your prices in American or Canadian dollars?
All prices are in Canadian dollars. $1 Canadian is worth about 70-80¢ American, so our U.S. customers get an automatic discount thanks to the exchange rate. To find out exactly how much your order will be in American dollars, we recommend using a currency conversion tool that uses the current rates.
Can I pay for my order using a U.S. credit card or PayPal account?
Yes, you can pay for your order using any Visa, Mastercard, American Express, or PayPal, regardless of where you live. Your credit card company will convert the purchase from Canadian dollars to your country's currency automatically.
How will my order get to my door?
All orders are sent via Canada Post. Depending on where you live and the size of your order, your shipment will be delivered to your door, mailbox, or local post office.
How do I apply a discount code?
Enter your discount code at check-out. Be sure to hit "apply"! The discount will then be applied to your order automatically.
What are you doing to reduce the environmental impact of the packaging required by the mail order industry?
We are very concerned about the amount of packaging being used these days, which is why we strive to use reused packaging whenever we can. This means your order might arrive in a box that was once used to ship something from Amazon or another online retailer. If used materials are not available at the time of your order, it will likely ship in not-as-environmentally friendly poly mailer — but we're transitioning to mailers made from recycled materials to reduce our carbon footprint. Every little bit helps.

Yes, you can pay with Bitcoin. In fact, it's our preferred method of payment.
Where does my order come from?
All orders are shipped from Corb Lund HQ in Alberta, Canada.
How long will it take?
Orders generally go out once a week. Sometimes we ship on Monday, sometimes we ship on Friday. You will receive notification when your order has been shipped. Be patient, we promise it'll get to ya. If you are ordering from outside of Canada, your order will need to clear customs when it crosses the border, which can result in delays. Because of ongoing and unpredictable delays at U.S. customs, some U.S. orders arrive in less than a week, while others take up to 3 weeks for delivery. Please be patient. Meanwhile, international orders outside U.S. and Canada can take much longer, depending on the shipping method selected at check-out. Please read the estimated delivery time before choosing your international shipping method, as some shipping options can take quite a while. We ship all packages via whatever shipping method the customer selects at check-out.
Where is my tracking number?
If your package has a tracking number, it will be included in the shipping notification email (which follows the order confirmation email). All Canadian shipments have parcel tracking built into the shipping cost. American and international customers do not have automatic package tracking; you must select parcel tracking at check-out. Canada Post charges more for tracked packages, so if you select the cheapest method of shipping, you will not have a tracking number. Please be careful to select the shipping method that works best for you.
What about returns and refunds?
All sales are final. If your mother-in-law bought you the wrong CD or you bought your best friend a T-shirt that's too small, we'll exchange the unopened, unworn, unwashed item for the one you want, provided you email us at firstname.lastname@example.com to explain the situation and confirm that we have your size/colour/?! in stock, then send it and the receipt back to us within 30 days -- but return shipping is not included.
If an order is returned to us by the post office because the address provided at checkout was incorrect or incomplete, we will refund the order, less all shipping charges incurred.

2018 NFL Mock Draft: Josh Allen, Leighton Vander Esch First-Rounders
Mountain West could have two first-round pick
Contact/Follow @JeremyMauss & @MWCwire
Mel Kiper likes another Mountain West player
ESPN's Mel Kiper, Jr. has released his second mock draft and it is very kind to Mountain West players. This latest edition includes Senior Bowl workouts and the game itself.
Plus, other moves which include Alex Smith going from the Kansas City Chiefs to the Washington Redskins and the ripple effect of Kirk Cousisns going to find a new team. Then there is quarterback A.J. McCarron who is going to be a free agent, but he will likely have minimal impact on teams taking a quarterback early in the draft.
In Kiper's first mock draft he had just Wyoming quarterback Josh Allen from the Mountain West as first-rounder and being the top overall pick to the Cleveland Browns.
Mock Draft 2.0 still has Allen as the top pick:
I'm sticking with Allen here. The only way I see the Browns not ending up with a quarterback at No. 1 is if they sign Kirk Cousins, which is going to cost them around $100 million in guarantees. Then they could trade down with a quarterback-needy team to pick up more talent — and remember, they have the No. 4 pick, too. Allen had a strong week at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama, improving every day. The NFL statistical comp I make to Allen: Matthew Stafford, who completed 57.1 percent of his passes in 39 games at Georgia and still went No. 1 overall. And Stafford had better talent around him.
The other Mountain West player who cracked the first-round is former Boise State linebacker Leighton Vander Esch. Vander Esch has been gaining steam as a few other publications have slotted him in the first-round. Kiper pegs the former Broncos to the Pittsburgh Steelers at 28.
Vander Esch is a name I continue to hear for the end of the first round. I expect him to put up strong numbers at the combine. At 6-4, 240, he has the versatility to play outside linebacker, but I think his best fit is as an inside 'backer in a 3-4. He's a physical run-stopper who can defend tight ends and running backs — he had three interceptions in 2017. Inside linebacker is an obvious need for the Steelers, who will have to replace Ryan Shazier.
Vander Esch has always proved people wrong as he has just gotten better each step of the way from high school to college and he is continuing to do so as he gets ready for the next chapter in his football career.

Reaction wheels: an overview of attitude control systems available on the global marketplace for space
Reaction wheels are crucial components for satellites of all shapes and sizes. They are becoming particularly important in the modern space industry, due to increasing demands for better for maneuverability, agility and precision control of small satellites.
This demand for improved performance and control follows the trend we're seeing in the in-space propulsion sector, which you can read more about on our recent post discussing CubeSat thrusters.
In this article we take a high-level look at how reaction wheels work, what to take into consideration when searching for a reaction wheel for your satellite, and give an overview of some of the products currently available on the global marketplace for space.
If you would like to skip the introductory material and go straight to to view the available products, please click here, otherwise please read on.
What are reaction wheels?
Reaction wheels are internal mechanical components of controllable satellites and spacecraft that enable them to reposition while in orbit. They are sometimes referred to as momentum wheels.
Reaction wheels store rotational energy, providing satellites or spacecraft with three-axis attitude control without requiring external sources of torque (such as rockets or propellants), saving on weight and the available space.
Note that attitude in this context refers to the orientation of the satellite with respect to another object or frame of reference (such as a celestial sphere centred on Earth) and three-axis control refers to the typical x-y-z cartesian system used to specify an object's location in three dimensions.
Reaction wheels control a satellite's attitude with very high precision, which is critical for applications that require excellent pointing accuracy, such as for Earth Observation purposes, or to keep a telescope fixed towards a particular region of interest.
Please note that this is just a brief introduction to reaction wheels of course; in a future article as part of our Let's talk about series on the blog we'll go deeper into the topic of attitude control - if you'd like to be informed when this is published, please sign up to our mailing list at the link below.
How to select the best reaction wheel for your needs
In our recent product overview article on CubeSat thrusters we suggested a basic four-step approach to selecting the right in-space propulsion system for your needs.
This framework can also be used to select the optimum reaction wheel, and an overview is given below:
- Specify your exact mission parameters - ensure you are clear on the full range of activities your spacecraft needs to perform.
- Record all known design specifications of the satellite - keep to hand the current specifications of the craft (understanding these may change as the design evolves) - for example, it is vital that reaction wheel sizing is correct due to the impact on the system's available volume.
- Consider the range of technology that will be used in the system - take into account the results of all decisions on what other components and sub-systems have been made. It is important that the reaction wheel you choose will work effectively with the other parts of the satellite.
- Take into account the key performance criteria - understand how to evaluate available reaction wheel products according to the criteria most relevant for your applications. More on this below.
For a reaction wheel the key performance criteria will include characteristics such as:
- Size/volume and weight
- Attitude control sensitivity and precision
- Control equipment, mechanisms and procedures
- Installation procedures and equipment
- Redundancy system (e.g. 4th wheel)
- Flight heritage, testing results and/or technology readiness level (TRL)
Reaction wheels available on the global market
In the article section below we have included a selection of the reaction wheel products currently available on the market.
Please note that this list will be updated when new products are added to the global marketplace for space - so please check back for more.
The RW210 Series Reaction Wheel and RW400 Series Reaction Wheel by Hyperion Technologies
The RW210 and RW400 series reaction wheels are aimed at applications in 1-3 U CubeSats and 6-12 U CubeSats (or similar platforms) respectively.

If you, your friends or clients are thinking of 'building' your own home it is worth bearing the following in mind:
- The TV programmes only show you 'the good bits', very rarely is the cost of the time taken up spent DIY building, 'monitoring' the build, or managing the sub-contractors etc accounted for. It is usually less costly and quicker to employ the professionals.
- No 'project manager' is ever needed for a house. All home-building projects are managed in three stages. There is the 'client' manager, that is you. There is the 'design' manager, that is the architect. There is the 'construction' manager, that is the builder. The architect can monitor the site, certify payments and certify completion to the satisfaction of any Building Society or funding body, it is a normal part of our work.
- From my experience, the figures quoted in the magazines are wildly 'optimistic' and usually exclude important aspects of a project.
- 'Architectural designer' and 'architectural consultant' are, oddly, job titles for which no qualifications whatsoever are required!
The Royal Institute of British Architects, the only professional chartered body for the profession, has prepared a useful leaflet that can be accessed at the link: workingwithanarchitectforyourhome-2015
KR.eativ: Architects Ltd is an RIBA Chartered Practice, there are only 4 in the whole of Kettering Borough, and not all that many in the County! The practice is the only one in the County that is a member of the Association of Self Build Architects (ASBA) a national group of practices specialising in bespoke homes. ASBA also has a useful guide:asba-brochure-2010
If you need an architect, why not employ one? Only an architect can offer the services of an architect. 'Architectural services' are just a legal way of getting round the law and are most definitely not the services of an architect!

Gorgeous web player!
Apple is in no hurry to release its own web player, Apple Music. The company only supports initiatives of third-party developers, providing them with all necessary tools to create their web versions of Apple Music. Another new and really good web player Apple Music was launched today. It is made in the style of Apple Music and works faster than iTunes.
New web-player Apple Music called Musish, it is available at this link. The developers have created it with the use of the official tools from Apple. The service received the style interface Apple Music iPhone iTunes, support all the key topics with music and lots of other useful features, such as the option to add music to my library by a simple drag-and-drop songs or folders from your computer into the browser window.
In order to start using Musish the Apple Music subscribers need only to log into the website using your Apple ID. The developers Musish stressed that due to the use of the official API from Apple this process is completely safe. The reason is that the developers themselves do not see any personal data of users. During authorization, a special encrypted token which is decrypted only on servers of Apple.
The Apple Music immediately appreciated the new development. According to subscribers of the music service, Musish not only allows you to listen music from Apple Music on any computer directly from the browser, but also runs significantly faster than iTunes.
If Apple is already planning to release a web player for the Apple Music at the moment is unknown. Before these rumors came out, because the web version of Apple's Music would help the service to compete with Spotify, but no announcements from Apple have not yet been.
