Solution home Technical Guides, How To's & Troubleshooting Workplace
Getting Started: Implementation Print
Modified on: Tue, 4 Aug, 2020 at 9:16 AM
Workplace is easy to install and use, but to get the most out of the service, it's a good idea to invest in some planning time before implementation. Migrating your data into Workplace is a terrific opportunity to fix questionable organizational practices and inefficient workflows that may exist in your current folder structure.
Even when a team has a folder structure they are perfectly happy with, some minor tweaks to support the principles below will result in better performance and greater long-term satisfaction with the Workplace service.
Evaluate the data set
The first step when setting up a new Workplace team is to evaluate the team, their data set, and how the team uses and accesses that data set.
Some important questions to consider when setting up a new team are...
What data do users need access to and what level of permissions should they have for that data?
What in particular is the team trying to achieve with implementing the Workplace service?
How will users access the data? Via Workplace Online, Workplace Desktop, or Workplace Mobile, or all three?
Do you have a significant number of remote employees or employees who work off-site regularly?
Will all users access the service, or will some access a centralized data set via the local area network which in turn syncs to the Workplace service?
What data is most important? What files are going to be used frequently and leverage the Workplace file-sharing features? Organize this key data into projects and sync those projects first.
When setting up a new Workplace team, there are some key concepts that are important to understand and to take into consideration:
Ensure sufficient bandwidth
For syncing to function effectively, it is imperative that Workplace Desktop / Workplace Server has sufficient bandwidth to successfully transfer files. This concept applies both to the Internet connection and the connection to the local storage, particularly when the storage is not an internal hard drive (for instance, a network storage device).
Any constraints at any point between Workplace Desktop/Workplace Server and the storage can cause a bottleneck and have detrimental affect on syncing.
We recommend performing a test with a moderate size data set to verify that syncing speed is as fast as expected. If that speed falls below expectations, focus on isolating the bottleneck and, if necessary, contact Manage Protect Support at support@manageprotect.com
Keep in mind that shared volumes can have high load, which may affect the throughput of data, so testing should also be performed during periods of peak traffic.
Prepare for deployment
Restructure the data set
Before deploying Workplace, we strongly recommend that you restructure the data set in accordance with the concepts outlined in the Getting Started: Projects guide.
While every scenario is unique and will require a customized folder structure, some basic adaptations will ensure optimal performance and simpler administration.
Prioritize the data upload
The last preparatory step is to have a clear understanding of which projects should be uploaded first. Dependent on the data set, the initial upload can take quite a while.
To ensure the team can begin using the Workplace service as soon as possible, assess what data is most frequently accessed and is most critical for the team to work on collaboratively. With this in mind, decide which projects to upload first.
Once the key projects are uploaded, upload the lower priority projects, and leave the least important data for last.
We recommend creating a table, as illustrated in below, listing all projects, their priorities, the project owners, and the sequence in which the projects will be uploaded. It's also useful to list the file count, just to ensure you are within the recommended limit per project.
Marketing 1 1 4356 23546 admin@email.com
Sales 1 2 52351 345546 admin@email.com
HR 1 3 1751 98546 admin@email.com
Clients 2 4 83725 48625 admin@email.com
Archive 3 5 364751 485546 admin@email.com
Leverage the Workplace implementation features
Some features of the Workplace service can be particularly useful during deployment. We recommend reviewing these features in full to gain a clear comprehension of the functionality and to consider using these features as part of deployment:
The Active Directory integration allows you to sync users and groups from Active Directory into Workplace. By enabling the integration, users can be controlled via Active Directory and the users will authenticate with their Active Directory credentials.
Defaults and policies can be set to define the default settings when creating users and to manage which features and functions are available. Additionally, Policy Profiles can be created and assigned to further manage the available features and functions with infinite granularity and flexibility. For more information, refer to Policy Profiles.
Silent Installation and Deployment
Workplace Desktop can be silently installed on users machines via a endpoint management tool. For more information, refer to Silent Installation.
In conjunction with with silent installation, Workplace Desktop can be configured, allowing users to start using Workplace Desktop with no need to first configure it themselves. For more information, refer to Deployment.
Project Loader
The Project Loader feature can save a massive amount of time and bandwidth when getting your team in sync. The Project Loader allows a local data source to be specified - this local data source is then scanned, and any files that are precise matches to those in the specified project are copied from the local source and linked to the counterpart in the Workplace service. This means the actual files do not have to be downloaded but merely copied and linked, saving time and bandwidth.
Once complete, any files available in the Workplace service that were not copied from the local source will be synced down to ensure a complete, locally-cached project.
By default within Workplace Desktop, all projects are synced to the Workplace folder. The Folder Sync feature allows projects to be synced to alternative locations. This is particularly useful when deploying in an environment where the team wants to retain the current folder structure and not move the data to the Workplace folder.
Selective Sync
Selective Sync allows you to specify which folders within a project are synced to the local machine. This is especially useful when large projects exist and only sub-sections of the project must be synced to the local machine.
Online editing allows users to create, open, and edit Microsoft Word, Excel or PowerPoint documents without installing those applications. Online editing also allows different users to work on the same documents simultaneously.
For more information on editing documents online with Workplace, refer to Creating and Editing Documents Online.
For information on how to configure your preferred online document editors, refer to Document Editors.
Local Editing via Workplace Online
Local editing allows users to open files locally within the associated application on your computer without having to sync the file to their computer first. Once a file is opened using this feature, saving the file will automatically update the version on Workplace Online.
Plan user education
During the deployment, we recommend educating your team on the basics of the Workplace service. Use your judgment concerning when to provide training - you want your users to understand the basics before providing them access to Workplace, but you want the users to have access so that detailed information provided makes sense.
Based on the support ticket topics most frequently submitted by new users, the concepts outlined below are the most critical to explain when getting members started on the Workplace service:
Sharing & Permissions
Ensure that users understand how to share projects, folders and files.
We strongly recommend all users that will own projects review the Getting Started: Projects guide.
A common mistake users new to cloud computing make is removing synced files that they don't want on their machines. Please understand that removing data from projects, via Workplace Online or your Workplace folder on your desktop or laptop, results in the removal of that data from Workplace, and therefore, from all your devices and all your team members' devices.
IMPORTANT In Workplace, if a user deletes a file or folder, it is deleted for everyone!
NOTE Setting permissions appropriately may help you avoid deletions that inadvertently affect other users.
The Workplace six-month data retention feature, however, allows you to undelete data deleted by mistake. But it's best not to accidentally delete data in the first place.
Give it time to sync...
...especially if you've been offline for a while. Depending on file size, the pending files in the queue, and a variety of factors, there may be a slight delay in syncing of files.
If a user has been offline for a period of time (on vacation, for example) it may require some time to get fully in sync.
Ensure that users understand the significance of the sync status icons and let them know that they can monitor the Progress window if desired.
Deploy Workplace
Moving forward with the deployment, you should categorize the team into one of these three categories:
The local data storage is maintained and accessed by users connected locally.
The local storage is synced with Workplace, providing access to these files via Workplace for users that do not have direct access to the local storage.
For Hybrid Deployments, refer to Deploying Workplace: Hybrid Model.
Full migration
The entire data set is being moved to Workplace Manager and the current local storage is being decommissioned after transferring the data.
For Full Migration Deployments, refer to Deploying Workplace: Full Migration Model.
Dispersed data
The current data set is scattered across multiple users' local storage devices and all this data is to be moved to the Workplace Manager service.
For Dispersed Data Deployments, refer to Deploying Workplace: Dispersed Migration Model.

Heuer Medical chrono Pulsation
First successful open-heart surgery is performed in Philadelphia
1953 Chronograph Heuer Medical Pulsation dial ref. 3336P
Heuer 3336P stainless steel 36mm case with a pulsation dial and radium indexes. The pulsation dial (designed for doctors to accurately measure a patient's pulse) is in NOS condition, with Arabic numerals at 12 and 6 o'clock. Rounding it out is the chronograph function powered by the Valjoux 22 manual-winding movement.
The watches that begin appearing in the 1940s include some that are very much sought after classics today. Elements of models like the ref. 2543 can be seen in later watches like the Carrera, which even shares a model reference with the earlier watch. Occasionally, these watches are referred to as pre-Carreras.
It all started in 1860, with Edouard Heuer setting up a workshop in Bernese, a predominantly French-speaking area of Switzerland close to the French border, a small town even now with a population under 5000. However, it is no stranger to watches companies, having also been where Breitling was founded and has been home to Longines. Of course, those companies were artisan workshops producing small numbers of mostly silver cased pocket watches.
In 1914 Heuer made the first wristwatch for men, they used pocket-watch movements and reflected demand for wristwatches that would only increase during the First World War and after.
1920 was the first time in 8 years that an Olympic Games had been held, following the cancellation of the 1916 Berlin events. Heuer had some prominence as a sports timing company by this point and was pleased to be selected as the official timer of the Antwerp games. This was subsequently extended to the 1924 games in Paris and 1928 in Amsterdam: this cemented the brand marriage between timing and sports.
For today's collectors, the heyday for Heuer really began in the mid-1930s. I think that's also probably true for many other brands. Heuer began making pilots chronographs in 35. These were used by Air Force pilots primarily, a lot of them in the German Air Force. For most Heuer collectors, these pilot chronographs from around 1935 are the first real survivors that regularly can be found on the market today.
In the 1960s and 1970s, no brand was more prominent in motorsports timing than Heuer.


MA Tagle welcomed Association of Tourism Officers in Baliwag. Challenged tourism officers to be bold and strategic in its role as energizers of the local economy. | Be Informed, Every BaliwageKNOW deserves to Know.
Baliwag Municipal Compound – Muncipal Administrator Enrique Tagle on behalf of Mayor Ferdie Estrella, welcomed the tourism officers of the 21 municipalities and 3 cities of the Province of Bulacan. In his welcome address, MA Tagle cited the vital role of tourism officers play in energizing the local economy. He also challenged them to be bold and strategic in crafting tourism programs making sure there is a return of investment of every peso spent for marketing. "We must veer away from the concept of tourism offices as mere organizers of pageant or street dancing competitions. Tourism offices must embrace the new order to propel the local economy hence, tourism offices must measure impact of activities conducted and account for every peso spent.
There is no better person to welcome and cheer a visitor but tourism officers themselves. Kaya hindi ko alam kung mabibigyan ko kayo ng mas hihigit pang saya at galing pagpapakilala.
Challenging time for Bulacan at your helm but I am sure, all of you, will beat if not surpass any obstacle that will prevent people to continue to stagnate.


I will be waiting on the other side of river when you swim across.
It's been great 10 days of GKYS training with Master Chang Wook Yu and his wife Siju from Gang-so Castle, China. Master Yu normally visit korea HQ and train at least once a year. Currently he is running GKYS club in China, he may not fully understand how to spread GKYS in China. His wife Siju seems understand more than he does. This is how to spread GKYS effectively in China.
You have to memorize by heart the birth, philosophy, mannerism, and even ideology of Gongkwon Yusul. They are provided on our website and also in Gongkwon Yusul Manuals.
For example, you have to know and understand the meaning of "Ho-Shin" (it means protect yourself, or self defense). You have to be able to write it in Korean and Chinese characters. In our official uniform, we have a patch with "Gongkwon Yusul" written in Korean and Chinese Characters. In order to be able to teach it to others, one has to know it himself.
Usually, masters who want to become Gongkwon Yusul Instructors are focused on techniques only, which might not be the best way to become a GKYS Instructor. If you have a right mind set as a leader, you have to study and understand not only the actual techniques but the composition of GKYS and the system itself.
Gongkwon Yusul Clubs derive happiness from teaching the students how to live as a right human being. This concept is hard to understand unlike the physical techniques which you can see just like an arm bar. It is possible to run GKYS schools even with only few students. It's almost like one GKYS student equals 3 other martial arts students. The most significant value of GKYS is right and unique relationship between Master and students - As special as a relationship between parent and child. This is the unique culture of GKYS which other Martial Arts do not have.
To be able to master GKYS techniques, it is necessary to participate in GKYS seminars or train in the actual GKYS school. If you want to become a good GKYS instructor, you have to learn not only the actual techniques but how to teach others correctly and effectively. One of the most important factors is to learn how to teach one technique to someone in 10 or 20 variations. In GKYS, when students learn each technique one by one, they show deep appreciation to their masters and in return masters show their appreciations to the students. It may look like teaching just physical techniques but we are teaching better relationships, appreciation, humility and much more. Your life will change if you apply same values at home or at work. This appreciation can only come when you humble yourself. This value will affect your life.
First, you have to have main sign that says, "Gongkwon Yusul in Gangso Castle" in your Gongkwon Yusul school in China. To maintain the high value of GKYS, you have to establish at least one official GKYS headquaters in your area.
These days, everyone uses social network such as Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram. Im receiving tons of emails from all over the world with a lot of school owners or representatives from other martial arts asking me for GKYS degrees. Some even ask me to put them in charge of their region or country.
Some of them introduce themselves as representative of some association claiming 5th degree on this, 4th degree on that, another 4th degree on something else... and teaching all of that in their school. And they also believe that they deserve to have GKYS title as well. Don't they see how disrespectful it is to the founder of GKYS when they ask to have GKYS as one of the many other classes in their school? And they believe I will give them some type of authority to run GKYS in their school as an additional program.
If I were them, I would rather ask how to learn GKYS properly first before asking anything else. And I would train myself strictly first and build a good relationship with the Master. Then I would open a GKYS school and run it to the best of my ability. And when I believe that I have earned the trust and respect first, I will probably ask the Master for something more. Don't you agree that this is the right order?
6. You have to have professional website that indicates the location of GKYS school in your area, Gangso Castle.
Even if you have small school, you should have one of the best websites in your area. As we all know website is the face of your school.
7. The very first relationship in GKYS starts from Instructor seminar or training.
If someone conducting GKYS training or there is an instructor who wants to open GKYS school, you have to help him/her to fully understand and perform techniques professionally and know how to teach and deliver values correctly.
Then eventually, they will go back to their school and teach and deliver same lessons and values to their students. GKYS in China will spread rapidly.
It takes long time to even think about assigning someone in charge in GKYS in other country. Most of masters dont have a business mind just because they are living busy day to day life in their schools class to class. Bon Boo Jang(Director) or Ji Boo Jang(Regional Manager) are GKYS title positions which do not require good athleticism or good physical condition.
If you want to cross the river, you should not worry if the water is cold or warm or how deep and how far you have to go. If crossing the river is what you have to do then you have to do it. When you cross the river, I will greet and welcome you with a warm blanket and hot tea.
I will always wait for you on the other side. Just come across.


In a previous video I said that loose two strand twists were proving to be a really easy go to protective/daily style, and they were until I came up with another way of reducing the time I spend on my hair, easing the process of detangling and further protecting my fragile ends. And this is it. A semi flat twist style- yeah, not anything amazing but extremely helpful to me in my weekly routine. Check out my video to see more!
Hi everyone, I hope you are all enjoying your summer! if you've been looking for some new hairstyles to try, look no further! Check out my feature on 4Chairchick.com where I show you how to do 3 really easy styles for your summer events. And if you're at all interested in the accessories shown in the video, check out my etsy shop where I have lots of handmade hair accessories in the 'Verano' 2014 collection. Enjoy!
Protective styling is to style your hair in such a way so as to protect or conceal the ends of your hair. The ends are the very oldest parts of your hair and tend to be the driest and in need of the most tlc. Protective styling comes in many forms such as twists, braids, buns, weaves, wigs, pin and tuck styles and also styles which incorporate scarves or head coverings. I have found there are two main benefits to protective styling for my hair texture.
When I do a protective style I find that my hair stays moisturised for longer. If I properly moisturise and seal my hair with a heavy butter (e.g shea butter) I can go for days without adding any more moisture to my hair. When hair is properly moisturised it is less likely to break.
When wearing a protective style I find that I retain more length. This is probably for two reasons. Firstly because I am not manipulating my hair everyday therefore there is less chance of breakage occurring. Secondly, my hair is not repeatedly exposed to the weather elements or to garments and accessories like woolly scarves I might be wearing.
As I mentioned earlier there are a range of protective styles you can do. I prefer not to use weaves, wigs and extensions for a number of reasons. Firstly I don't like to go to the hairdressers. I like to do my own hair as I know exactly how it should be treated. I also like to save money and time and I find going to the hairdressers (for me) wastes both (unless of course it is a special occasion).
This is my ultimate protective style at the moment. Loose two strand twists are just like the regular single twists , but looser. The looseness makes my hair look fuller which I prefer. I don't have the problem of the twists unraveling as I really twirl and seal my ends well so they stay put.
Moisture retention is good with loose twists, but if my hair does dry out I simply spritz and seal my hair without the worry of shrinkage and tangles.
I can also wash my hair while in this style and re-twist to neaten as and when I have the time. Which means if I don't have the time to re-twist all the twists in one go I can re-twist a section each day while still wearing the style.
Loose twists allow for versatility of styling during the week and there is absolutely zero manipulation in the morning. I simply throw a hairband or hair accessory on and go. The longest I've gone without re-twisting is about 8 days but I could easily carry this style for two weeks or longer if I re-twisted it. The only down point to this style is that it is essential you do not wash your hair too many times while it is installed without re-twisting, or else you might end up with locs! I usually wash my hair once or twice and then I make sure I either take down the twists or re-twist.
I tend to flat twist the back area of my head while chunky twisting the top and front area to allow some versatility of styling each day. Pros are that you can easily carry this style for days without having to re-do the whole the style each morning hence reducing manipulation and breakage during the week. The moisture retention is very good when wearing this style.
A tuck and pin style is simply when you tuck sections of your hair and pin them down. What I love about this technique is that you can very quickly create some really lovely shapes and designs. All that is needed is a comb for parting and bobby pins. This technique works best on stretched hair.
The downside to this style is that you will need to re-twist or stretch your hair each night and re-do the style in the morning. This means that you are manipulating your hair everyday which could increase the chance of breakage. Also, another issue I've discovered is that moisture is easily lost when my hair is stretched and left untwisted or braided. I guess this is because the outer cuticle layer is slightly lifted as a result of the hair strand being stretched into a straighter shape, this therefore allows for moisture to escape a little easier.
What protective styles do you like to wear? Which are best for moisture and length retention for your natural 4c hair. Leave you comments below!

Another Ahi tuna on todays charter aboard the Lady Dee.
Hooked Up caught a 137 pound Ahi and Ez Pickens weighed 168. Below is the Ahi on Hooked Up with Zac(crew) and the charter.
We went 1-2 today on a half day fishing charter. Caught a spearfish and missed a marlin. The younger brother had to hold up the spearfish for his sister because she got sea sick after landing her first fish ever.
Go Get Em catches biggest Mahi of the year.
Captain Jim Wigzell on the Go Get Em catches 24 Mahi Mahi with the biggest weighing 53 pounds. Which makes the big fish list at Honokohau Harbor. Its the biggest one caught in Kona so far this year.
Couple today on the Ez Pickens with Captain Jim Wigzell caught two Ahi Tunas trolling lures in the porpoise school while fishing in Kona Hawaii.
Couple of good friends chartered us for a half day off the cruise ship and came back with a 96 pound stripe marlin and a mah i mahi. Since they were on the ship and could not take fish with them, we called up the wives and had them meet the boys at Pancho and Lefty's for a quick lunch before they had to get back on the ship.


Right into the middle of the week and still delivering the most diverse set of sessions from the most interesting technologies. QML, Cloud, D-Bus, Multitouch, Unity, Bazaar... Wednesday had a bit of everything. Most importantly, this sessions are for you all, so I was really glad to hear feedback on how people liked the content of App Developer Week! So here's a new summary for all of those who couldn't attend.
In his first session, Jürgen gave a short intro to Qt Quick's QML language and how to use it. The first steps were to install Qt and Qt Creator, followed by a description of what Qt Quick is and how developers came up with a declarative way, similar to CSS or JSON to write in the language. All that clear, he then started with the Qt Quick tutorial and code examples that could be run with qmlviewer, the qml interpreter. Onto the second part, he focused on the QML languate, and going into the detail on how to create custom QML components. There were also lots of pointers to the excellent Qt documentation.
Stuart gave a great overview on how to add the cloud to existing apps and how to make new apps for the cloud, letting Ubuntu One do all the hard work for you: from managing identities, password renewal to sharing data between applications. And all that on the web, the desktop, mobile... all your stuff everywhere! He then showed us some simple code to sync playlists on the cloud, ready for streaming. File sync is also an important Ubuntu One feature apps can make use of for sharing, and he also went through a couple of the many cool ways you can use it.

In this session Alejandro showed us in a hands-on and easy to follow way different bits and pieces of D-Bus, and how applications in the desktop can communicate through it. He went through real life examples to show how to do simple tasks and explained how they can be achieved with D-Bus.
In the second multitouch session of the week, app developer José Expósito started showcasing Touchégg, how it works and its features: recognizing multitouch gestures and getting the most of multitouch devices. He then went on describing which gestures it supports, such as tap, drag, pinch or tap & hold, and the different actions that can be associated to gestures, showing us a really cool video of Touchégg in action. The second part of the talk focused on describing the technologies used to develop Touchégg: uTouch-GEIS, through its simplified interface, and Qt.
Mikkel used the intro of the talk to set a couple of things straight: "Places" are going to be called "Lenses" in the next cycle, and libunity does not yet guarantee API or ABI stability. He then followed with the Unity Launcher integration, and how applications can use static quicklists, and more advanced features such as count, progress bar, window flashing and dynamic quicklists. The second part were Places: remote databases that provide data for Unity to render. Through a Python code example he showed us in detail all the aspects of creating a Unity Place.
Jelmer, in his experience of seasoned Bazaar hacker started off introducing what bzr is: a modern distributed version control system. He then went on with the basics with a hands-on example, going through the creation of a branch, the first commit, and describing several of the most handy bzr commands. As a wrap-up, he showcased more advanced features such as source recipes: scripts that combine branches and build daily Debian packages from them.

Unshakeable confidence is the kind of confidence that you can count on and that won't quit you.
It's not about never having your confidence waver. Nuh uh.
What we know about in these fiercely trying times, is that we need to hang onto something...and often that something is in our own capacity.
Now, to be clear, you may think I'm suggesting you don't have confidence. Nope.
But I'm talking about the kind that you can count when it's time to do the important stuff. Like...have the hard conversations. Make the big asks. Say NO. Level up.
I've made quite the study of this, as I am endlessly fascinated by what it takes for people to do remarkable things in times of adversity. How people step up, rise up, stand up when it seems like life is trying to keep them down.
I witness it in my beloved clients, leaders I admire and folx weathering the storms of uncertainty and those who have said: Nuh-uh. Nope. Not today.
There seems to be this through-line running through all of their experiences.
So I've been paying pretty close attention and I do believe I've figured it out.
Actually...I KNOW I've figured it out.
Unshakeable confidence isn't something you HAVE. It's something you cultivate, practice, devote yourself to.
You can see the Impostor Complex's lies for what they are, and have a faster recovery when it tries to take you out.
You expand your capacity to bring in more, much more, of what you desire.
You know what it's comprised of?
It's about knowing what you stand for.
Knowing who you are and what you're HERE FOR.
Taking right action from there.
Whether it's swinging out on your dreams, hiring the team, raising prices, speaking your message to bigger audiences, or setting bigger goals.
Unshakeable Confidence is the practice of a lifetime.
THERE are three cornerstones of UC.
Three legs of a stool, each with their own value and merit. Each of equal importance.
Integrity means you trust in what you stand for.
Presence means you know who you are and what you're here for.
Action means you get it done.
Like I said: three legs of a stool. Each of equal merit and value. Each of equal importance.
And when all three are engaged, the stool is stable. It is unshakeable.
When you have Integrity and Presence engaged, you can TRUST in it.
Does that mean you will never wobble again? That you'll never second-guess your decision?
No. Our fears and insecurities our life's challenges get more sophisticated alongside of our own evolution.
But when we know what we're up against, we can make better, more aligned choices when your foundation isn't cobbled together between your mood, worries about how much other people think of you and caffeine.
We can ask ourselves how we are honouring presence, integrity and action and make different choices.
You know the oft-cited saying "if you don't stand for something you'll fall for everything?" Absolute truth. If integrity needed a bumper sticker, it would be that.
For me, Business Strategist, Author, Podcaster and Community-Builder Tara Gentile is the literal epitome of integrity. In business and in life. As long as I've known her, she has been driven by a desire to build another way of dispersing power...a New Economy. One where outsiders become insiders become leaders and collective wisdom reigns supreme.
It's what she stands for and what she stands in. Over the years, this vision has been refined and expressed in new and innovative ways, from an actual co-working space in Oregon, to its current iteration: CoCommercial, the online business brain trust and virtual office space for over 700 and counting members.
Her word is her code and her code is all about lifting up others. And she shows up with pure unadulterated authenticity. Who she seems to be is who she is.
She is integrity. And her vision is blossoming as a result.
TO be clear, she is also steeped in presence and action. Integrity and action actually are her set points, but she's done work with PRESENCE.
What visions are you obedient to?
Do you honour your word?
Do you show up authentically?
Integrity, my friends. Nothing, and I mean nothing beats it.
There's a reason Amy Cuddy wrote an entire book devoted to it...she posits that they opposite of Fear is not Fearlessness, but rather PRESENCE.
It's about placing value on what you are, WHO you are...the very things that are not fleeting. And the very things that are not outside of you, like your numbers, fans, followers and dollars in the bank.
Presence is in knowing who you are, where you come from and where you're going.
I had the honour of spending nine months with Lena in the Starring Role Academy and let me tell you, day in, day out, Lena was rooted in her seat of POWER, knew who she was, and was a model for us all for being reverent for the gifts she'd been given. And that knowing who she is (and isn't) gave her the space to be wildly generous and expansive within the context of her massive capacity.
It was short form for I'm not here for everything, but I know what I know, and I know who I am and I know what I'm here for.
Are you rooted in your power?
How well do you know your values?
How do you practice reverence for the glorious being you are?
People think confidence creates action.
Action creates confidence. PARTICULARLY action rooted in integrity built upon presence.
Hesitation creates the mountains...action moves it.
But action isn't all heft and rigour and sweat all the time.
When the online industry zigs, they root into what they do best and keep on going, better, stronger, more powerfully than ever, releasing some clients and bringing on even more that were truly aligned.
When Maggie realized that she had been hiding behind her work, I saw her pushing herself out onto social media compelling people to invite her onto their podcast.
Action looks like asking for what you need.
Action looks like saying NO.
Action looks like getting it DONE like these two Unshakeable, Unstoppable Small Business Bosses.
What do you make happen?
How well are you cultivating resilience in yourself?
What does tenacity look like for you?
And here's where things get massively fascinating for me.
You know how I'm always talking about the Impostor Complex and the coping mechanism that we go to to avoid feeling like an Impostor?
Perfectionism, procrastination, diminishment, comparison, people-pleasing and leaky boundaries?
We KNOW when we're not honouring integrity, because we are stuck in: leaky boundaries or people-pleasing.
We KNOW we aren't honouring presence, because we get stuck in: diminishment or comparison.
We KNOW we aren't taking action because we are stuck in: procrastination or perfectionism.
Super handy to see that, right?
Which stool leg has your confidence feeling wobbly? What needs attention?
You will have a faster recovery when the Impostor Complex shows up.
You will ask for the raise.
Say yes to the speaking gig.
Go for the book deal.
Plan for massive growth in your business.
Stand up for what you know to be right.

APPEAL FROM THE MARION SUPERIOR COURT
The Honorable Patrick McCarty, Judge
Cause No. 49D03-9910-CP-1524
OPINION – FOR PUBLICATION
MATTINGLY-MAY, Judge
Circuit City Stores, Inc. ("Circuit City") appeals the trial court's grant of summary judgment in favor of American National Insurance Company ("American National"). Circuit City raises one issue on appeal, which we restate as whether the trial court improperly determined that "substantial completion" of a project did not occur until a tenant provided a "certificate of substantial completion and compliance," when the contract between the landlord and tenant required no such document and instead required a "certificate of occupancy" that could not be obtained because such certificates were not being issued at the time by the city where the building was located. We reverse and remand.
FACTS AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY
On April 15, 1997, Circuit City and American National entered into a contract whereby Circuit City would renovate a building owned by American National to create a new store. Pursuant to the contract, American National was to pay Circuit City a tenant improvement allowance ("TIA") within thirty days after "substantial completion" of the project. In the contract, substantial completion was defined as:
Substantial completion of the Tenant Work ("Substantial Completion") shall be deemed to occur when a certificate of occupancy, whether temporary and subject to minor items to be completed, or permanent, as the case may be, has been issued by the applicable governmental authority and Tenant's in-house architect or construction supervisor delivers to Landlord a certificate of substantial completion certifying that the Tenant Work has been substantially completed in accordance with the Plans and Specifications approved by Landlord.
(Appellant's App. at 75.) In addition, the contract provided:
If Landlord fails to pay the [TIA] in full within thirty (30) days after Substantial Completion and receipt of [certificates of insurance], [an indemnity form for possible mechanics' liens] and [confirmation that landlord holds title to the Improvements], Landlord shall be in default thereunder, no Ground Rent, Base Rent or Cam Charges shall be due or owing to Landlord until the same is paid to Tenant, and interest shall accrue on the unpaid [TIA] at the Default Rate commencing on the thirty-first (31st) day following Substantial Completion until the date of payment of the [TIA].
(Id. at 76.)
On October 7, 1997, Roger Sautter, an independent contractor working as Circuit City's project manager, completed a "Certificate of Completion and Compliance," which builders must submit to the City of Indianapolis to certify that construction is completed on a job for which a building permit was previously acquired. (Appellee's App. at 34.) Sautter did not submit that document to the City of Indianapolis at that time.
On November 11, 1997, Bruce Lucas, Circuit City's in-house architect, determined that the project was substantially complete. On that day, Circuit City submitted a TIA application ("the application") to American National. The application included a certificate of insurance, an executed indemnification agreement, an executed bill of sale, a certification from Lucas that the premises were substantially completed according to the plans and specifications, and an "As Built Survey." (Appellant's App. at 128.) The application did not include a certificate of occupancy. Circuit City believed that it had met the requirements for the TIA on November 11, 1997.
At some point in October or November, Circuit City began occupying the store and stocking it with merchandise. On November 24, 1997, the store opened for business. On January 28, 1998, American National paid the TIA.
On February 12, 1998, James DeStefano, an architect with Graycor Construction Co., LLC who worked on the project, filed a Statement of Substantial Completion and Request for Inspection with the Indiana State Building Commissioner. Also on February 12, 1998, Sautter sent to the Indianapolis Division of Permits the "Certificate of Completion and Compliance," which he had filled out on October 7, 1997. (Appellee's App. at 34.)
On March 31, 1998, Circuit City notified American National that it would not pay rent for the time that it believed American National had been in default, from December 11, 1997 to January 28, 1998. In addition, Circuit City notified American National that it intended to set off $40,199.00 in default interest against the amounts due for unpaid rent.
On October 21, 1999, American National filed a complaint claiming that Circuit City had breached its contract by refusing to pay rent and by setting off the default interest. Circuit City filed an answer. The parties filed cross-motions for summary judgment. The trial court granted summary judgment for American National. In ordering summary judgment for American National, the trial court made the following findings:
1. The undisputed facts as shown by the pleadings submitted by Plaintiff and Defendant, the depositions and the Memorandums of Law in Support of the Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment and in Response to Defendant's Cross-Motion for Summary Judgment, and Defendant's Cross-Motion for Summary Judgment and in Opposition to Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment show that there are no genuine issues of material facts and Plaintiff is entitled to judgment as a matter of law.
2. Circuit City breached the Lease Agreement by offsetting ground rent due and owing to [American National] after [American National] had timely paid the TIA pursuant to Circuit City's Substantial Completion of the project; Circuit City's breach was the first breach of the Lease Agreement.
3. The language of the Lease Agreement required that Circuit City comply with the requirements of the Indiana Administrative Code 675 IAC 12-1-24 and the Indianapolis Municipal Code § 8-50 with regard to determining the point of "Substantial Completion."
4. Even after [American National] paid the TIA to Circuit City, Circuit City still failed to render payment of ground rent to [American National]. Circuit City was not entitled to offset the charges of ground rent against the TIA unless the TIA was not paid within 30 days of substantial completion.
5. Ground rent is due and owing to [American National] by Circuit City for December 11, 1997 through [January] 28, 1998 because [American National] paid the TIA within the allowable time frame according to the provisions of the Lease Agreement.
6. [American National] was not obligated to remit the [TIA] until thirty (30) days after February 12, 1998, the date that Circuit City submitted the Certificate of Completion and Compliance and the Statement of Substantial Completion to the proper governmental authorities.
7. Substantial Completion occurred on February 12, 1998, after Circuit City had complied with the Indiana Administrative Code and the Indianapolis Municipal Code provisions.
8. [American National] paid the [TIA] on January 28, 1998, fifteen (15) days prior to the date of Substantial Completion. Circuit City is in breach of the Lease Agreement for failing to timely pay rent due [American National] in the sum of $55,211.84 plus prejudgment interest at the rate of 15% (as specified in paragraph 4(a)(iv), paragraph 9(b) and Exhibit C, paragraph (1)(P)) and reasonable attorney fees to be determined by the Court.
9. No material issue of disputed fact exists, the matter may be decided as a matter of law and summary judgment is entered in favor of [American National].
(Appellant's App. at 3-4.) This appeal ensued.
DISCUSSION AND DECISION
The sole issue on appeal is whether, for purposes of the contractual TIA provision, the "substantial completion" of this project could not have occurred until Circuit City provided a "certificate of substantial completion and compliance," when the contract required no such document and instead required a "certificate of occupancy" that Circuit City could not obtain because the City of Indianapolis did not issue such certificates at that time. On appeal from a grant of summary judgment, we apply the same standard applied by the trial court. Ind. Farmers Mut. Ins. Group v. Blaskie, 727 N.E.2d 13, 15 (Ind. Ct. App. 2000). Summary judgment is appropriate "if the designated evidentiary matter shows that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and that the moving party is entitled to a judgment as a matter of law." T.R. 56(C). In our review, we do not reweigh the evidence, and we consider the facts in the light most favorable to the nonmovant. Blaskie, 727 N.E.2d at 15. The appellant has the burden to prove that the trial court erred when it determined that there were no issues of material fact and that the appellee was entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Id.
Where, as here, the trial court entered findings of fact in its summary judgment order, those findings do not control us. City of Gary v. Ind. Bell Telephone Co., 732 N.E.2d 149, 153 (Ind. 2000), reh'g denied. Rather, we may use those findings to aid our interpretation of the trial court's decision. Id. In addition, where, as here, the parties filed cross-motions for summary judgment, our standard of review is not altered. Id. We merely "consider each motion separately to determine whether the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law." Id.
Circuit City claims that the trial court improperly interpreted the clear, unambiguous language of the contract between the parties. Interpretation of the language in a contract is a question of law especially suited for summary judgment proceedings. Art Country Squire, L.L.C. v. Inland Mortgage. Corp., 745 N.E.2d 885, 889 (Ind. Ct. App. 2001). We review questions of law de novo, and therefore we give no deference to the trial court's interpretation. Id. We determine the meaning of a contract from an examination of all of its provisions, without giving special emphasis to any word, phrase or paragraph. Id. Our goal is to give effect to the intent of the parties as expressed within the four corners of the document. Id. We may not construe unambiguous language to give it anything other than its clear, obvious meaning, and we may not add provisions to a contract that were not placed there by the parties. Id.
The dispute in this case centers around when the project was substantially completed such that the thirty-day time limit began to run on American National's obligation to pay the TIA to Circuit City. Under the contract, American National was required to pay the TIA "within thirty (30) days after Substantial Completion and receipt of [three] items" by American National. (Appellant's App. at 76.) The three items at issue were a certificate of insurance, an indemnity form for possible mechanics' liens, and a confirmation that American National holds title to the improvements that had been made by Circuit City. The designated evidence indicates that those documents were attached to the application submitted on November 11, 1997. Consequently, we must determine when "Substantial Completion" occurred.
Under the contract, "Substantial Completion" occurred "when a certificate of occupancy has been issued by the applicable governmental authority and [Circuit City's] in-house architect or construction supervisor delivers to [American National] a certificate of substantial completion." (Id. at 75.) Although the TIA application included a certification from Circuit City's in-house architect that the project was substantially complete, a certificate of occupancy was not submitted with the application.
Circuit City asserts that it was impossible to obtain a certificate of occupancy. See footnote Both parties acknowledge that Indianapolis did not issue certificates of occupancy at the time that Circuit City submitted its TIA application to American National. Consequently, we must agree with Circuit City's claim that it was impossible to obtain a certificate of occupancy. The question becomes what effect that has upon the requirements for the TIA application.
Because a certificate of occupancy was impossible to obtain, Circuit City argues, its application was complete when on November 11, 1997 it had filed all other required items with American National. American National claims, and the trial court held, that Circuit City's TIA application was not complete until February 12, 1998. On that date, Circuit City filed with the City of Indianapolis, pursuant to Indianapolis Municipal Code § 8-50, a Certificate of Completion and Compliance. That same day, Circuit City also filed with the Indiana State Building Commissioner, pursuant to 675 Ind. Admin. Code 12-1-24, a Statement of Substantial Completion.
Section 8-50 of the Indianapolis Municipal Code provides that when a builder has completed construction for which a building permit had been issued and prior to occupying the building, the builder shall submit a certificate of completion and compliance. 675 IAC 12-1-24 provides that "for the purposes of [the Fire Prevention and Building Safety] rules," when local ordinances do not require the issuance of certificates of occupancy, a builder should submit a statement of substantial completion to the owner of the building and to the state building commissioner in lieu of a certificate of occupancy.
We do not believe that the certificate required by Indianapolis Municipal Code § 8-50 is a substitute for or interchangeable with the certificate of occupancy called for in the contract. That code section refers to what the builder must file when construction is completed. The term "substantial completion" clearly refers to some point prior to final completion. Further, even if it had submitted a certificate of completion and compliance pursuant to this section of the Indianapolis Municipal Code, Circuit City would not have received a "Certificate of Occupancy," which document American National claims was necessary to obtain substantial completion. Consequently, the trial court in effect imposed a requirement on Circuit City that was not imposed by the contract – i.e., that Circuit City file a certificate of completion and compliance. As trial courts may not read into a contract requirements that were not agreed to by the parties, the trial court erred when it determined the filing of that document determined the date of "substantial completion." See Colonial Penn Ins. Co. v. Guzorek, 690 N.E.2d 664, 669-670 (Ind. 1997) (trial court erred when it granted summary judgment because its ruling changed the requirements provided by the contract).
Further, 675 IAC 12-1-24 permits a builder's "statement of substantial completion" as a substitute for a certificate of occupancy "for the purposes of these [Fire Prevention and Building Safety] rules" (emphasis supplied). It does not provide, or even suggest, that such a document will substitute for a certificate of occupancy in any other context. If American National and Circuit City had contemplated that another document might substitute for a certificate of occupancy, then the contract could have been written to include such language.
Because the contract did not contain such language, the trial court erred when it determined "The language of the Lease Agreement required that Circuit City comply with the requirements of the Indiana Administrative Code 675 IAC 12-1-24 and the Indianapolis Municipal Code § 8-50 with regard to determining the point of "Substantial Completion." See Guzorek, 690 N.E.2d at 669-670. Consequently, the dates upon which Circuit City filed those documents do not determine when Circuit City's TIA application was complete. The parties do not dispute that it was impossible for Circuit City to obtain a certificate of occupancy. Therefore, Circuit City's TIA application was complete on November 11, 1997 when Circuit City submitted to American National all of the other required documents called for in the contract.
American National offers two additional arguments that the trial court's grant of summary judgment was not erroneous. First, American National notes that Circuit City drafted the contract provision at issue and argues Circuit City therefore may not assert that production of a certificate of occupancy was impossible. Second, American National claims that Circuit City is obliged to fulfill the requirements of 675 IAC 12-1-24 and Indianapolis Municipal Code § 8-50 because its contract required the parties to "comply with all lawful requirements of local, county, state . . . and any other governmental authorities with jurisdiction over the Improvements." (Appellant's App. at 58.)
1. The Impossibility Defense See footnote
American National's argument that Circuit City may not assert impossibility is premised on Ludlow v. Free, 222 Ind. 568, 574-75, 55 N.E.2d 318, 321 (Ind. 1944):
When a promisor stipulates in a contract for the performance of a condition which he then knows can not be performed, and the impossibility of performance is unknown to the other party to the contract, the promisor must be held to have intended to make himself absolutely liable without regard to the performance of the condition.
Based upon this authority, American National asserts that Circuit City should be "absolutely liable for the issuance of a certificate of occupancy." (Br. of Appellee at 7.) Circuit City replies that "there is no evidence that Circuit City knew that it would be impossible to obtain a certificate of occupancy at the time the Agreement was signed." (Reply Br. of Appellant at 5.) We find no designated evidence to suggest that Circuit City, a Virginia corporation, knew it would be impossible to obtain a certificate of occupancy.
In addition, the facts in this case are distinguishable from those in Ludlow, wherein the party claiming impossibility was responsible for creating a fact situation under which performance was impossible. Ludlow, 222 Ind. at 574, 55 N.E.2d at 321. Here, there were no steps that Circuit City could have taken that would have caused Indianapolis to issue a certificate of occupancy, and there is no evidence Circuit City knew such a document could not be obtained.
Strict application of the rule from Ludlow in this situation would mean that Circuit City could never achieve substantial completion and therefore could never receive the TIA. That would grant an inequitable windfall to American National, who would never have to pay Circuit City for the improvements that were made to American National's property. For all these reasons, we decline to hold that Circuit City is "absolutely liable" for obtaining the certificate of occupancy.
2. Compliance with Other Contractual Language
Regarding American National's second argument, the language in Paragraph 33 of the contract requires Circuit City to comply with any lawful requirements placed by governmental authorities upon persons making improvements. In addition, that paragraph provides that either Circuit City or American National has thirty days to become compliant after being given notice by any governmental authority or the other party that it is not in compliance.
The paragraph provides a remedy in the event that a party does not become compliant within thirty days. If the non-compliant party "fails to perform or diligently commence performance of same with reasonable promptness," the other party "may perform said work" and either deduct from or add to "the next installment or installments of Base Rent" "the reasonable cost thereof plus interest at the Default Rate." (Appellant's App. at 45.)
American National is correct that Circuit City was required to comply with all lawful requirements, including that of submitting a Certificate of Completion and Compliance under Indianapolis Municipal Code § 8-50. However, the fact that Paragraph 33 of the contract required Circuit City to submit that document does not mean that Circuit City was required to submit that certificate to fulfill its application for the TIA. See footnote
As explained above, the contract provision that defined "substantial completion" and set forth the requirements for receiving the TIA made reference only to a certificate of occupancy. A certificate of occupancy, as referred to in the contract, does not require total completion of construction; it requires only substantial completion. We decline to read into the language agreed upon by the parties an additional requirement of total completion of construction. See, e.g., Guzorek, 690 N.E.2d at 669-670 (holding trial court erred when it removed requirements provided by the contract). Moreover, Paragraph 33 provides a remedy for a party's failure to abide by legal requirements. It therefore does not serve as a basis for withholding the TIA until the tenant becomes compliant.
For the foregoing reasons, we reverse the trial court's entry of summary judgment for American National. We remand with instructions that the trial court enter summary judgment for Circuit City with respect to the date of substantial completion, and for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
Reversed and remanded.
ROBB, J., and RILEY, J., concur.
Footnote: The contract did not define "certificate of occupancy." Black's Law Dictionary defines a certificate of occupancy as "[a] paper certifying that premises complied with provisions of zoning ordinance." Black's Law Dictionary 286 (4th ed. rev. 1968).
Footnote: The summary judgment addressed only the question of the date of substantial completion. It did not address, nor do the parties on appeal, the effect on the remainder of the agreement of the breach of or impossibility to perform the contractual requirement that a "certificate of occupancy" be obtained. Accordingly, we do not address whether the impossibility of performance of that provision might obviate the other requirements of the TIA provision of the contract. We note generally, however, that where, as here, the failure to obtain a proper permit appears to be an oversight and there is no evidence the building is not, in fact, in compliance with the applicable code provisions, the failure to obtain a permit is not a sufficient basis to declare void the remainder of the contract. See Ethyl Corp. v. Forcum-Lannom Assocs., 433 N.E.2d 1214, 1221 n.7 (Ind. Ct. App. 1982), reh'g denied.
Footnote: American National did not offer any alternate theory of recovery in its complaint, motion for summary judgment, memorandum of law in support of motion for summary judgment, or appellee's brief. As a result, we do not address whether American National was injured by Circuit City's failure to comply with lawful requirements.

It has been a long winter here in Utah. Spring has finally arrived, and I am hoping it is here to stay! A few ways I like to welcome Spring into my home is by filling the house with fresh plants and flowers, as well as fresh scents!
I am so thrilled to be partnering with Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day over the next few months! Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day is a brand that I have loved used in my home for years and years! I love that their products that go down the drain are biodegradable, they are made with essential oils, and plant-derived ingredients, they are made without colors, ammonia, phthalates, chlorine bleach, paragons, phosphates, and even gluten! I especially love how beautiful their packaging is, and it can fit nicely in my home while also being BPA free and recyclable!
As Spring is almost upon us, I love to switch out my hand soaps and dish soaps with some spring fragrances to bring a little freshness into my home after a long winter.
Along with the fresh scents from Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day, I love to add a little color and happiness to the house by adding a few beautiful fresh flowers and plants. It is amazing how much it helps to brighten up the space!
With Spring just around the corner, it makes me want to freshen up the entire house, and of course a little Spring cleaning is also in order. I decided to create a little Spring Cleaning Essentials Kit to give me a little motivation to get the job done, and fresh new cleaning supplies always help!
Here are the items you will need to make a DIY Spring Cleaning Kit for your home!
Mrs. Meyer's Peony Hand Soap: with aloe vera gel, olive oil, and a unique blend of essential oils, this soap not only smells good, but also helps keep my hard-working hands from drying out!
Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day Lilac Dish Soap: This Spring scented soap is rich, thick, and it makes grease disappear like nobody's business. I love to dilute it with water to wipe down my cupboards, clean out my sinks, and of course hand-washing my dishes and pots and pans. You only need to use just a tiny squirt or two, and you are good to go!
Micro Fiber Cloths: I love to use Micro Fiber Cloths while cleaning! They can be rinsed and re-used again, and again, then thrown in the washing machine. I like to put a few drops of the Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day Lilac Dish soap in a bucket of water then use the Micro Fiber Cloths to wipe down my doors, baseboards, door knobs, and light switches. Those places that always seem to gather dust and hand prints.
Rubber Gloves: I always throw in a pair of rubber gloves so that I can get deep into cleaning without my nails getting abused.
Sponges: Sponges always come in handy, and are great to reuse over and over. They come in handy when wiping out hard to clean areas like the microwave, and fridge. I add a little Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day Dish Soap and run the sponges under hot water. That heat in addition to the dish soap really helps get after those areas with extra build-up.
Paper Towels: I like to use paper towels for certain areas of my house, especially the bathroom. When I'm cleaning toilets, areas with lots of germs, I'd rather throw out the mess when I'm done.
Duster: Dusters are always so helpful to deep Spring clean the house. They are great for all surfaces, blinds and shutters, baseboards, and window sills!
All-purpose Spray: Always good to have on hand to get surfaces cleaned!
Garbage Bags: It seems garbage always piles up when you make your way around the house, so it is nice to have fresh bags ready to change out the trash bins.
Scrubbing Brush: For those hard to clean areas, I like to get a nice brush with bristles to get a nice deep clean.
I can't tell you how nice and convenient it is to have a Spring Cleaning kit all ready to use! It almost makes cleaning fun.. almost! But, I will say it does make it so much more pleasant!
So, tell me, what do you like to do to help bring Spring into your home?

Survey: One in five Americans has no religion
Editor's note: CNN recently won four first-place reporting awards from the Religion Newswriters Association. Read more about the awards here.
By Dan Merica, CNN
Washington (CNN) – The fastest growing "religious" group in America is made up of people with no religion at all, according to a Pew survey showing that one in five Americans is not affiliated with any religion.
The number of these Americans has grown by 25% just in the past five years, according to a survey released Tuesday by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life.
The survey found that the ranks of the unaffiliated are growing even faster among younger Americans.
Thirty-three million Americans now have no religious affiliation, with 13 million in that group identifying as either atheist or agnostic, according to the new survey.
Pew found that those who are religiously unaffiliated are strikingly less religious than the public at large. They attend church infrequently, if at all, are largely not seeking out religion and say that the lack of it in their lives is of little importance.

And yet Pew found that 68% of the religiously unaffiliated say they believe in God, while 37% describe themselves as "spiritual" but not "religious." One in five said that they even pray every day.
John Green, a senior research adviser at Pew, breaks the religiously unaffiliated into three groups. First, he says, are those who were raised totally outside organized religion.
Survey: Protestants no longer majority in U.S.
Second are groups of people who were unhappy with their religions and left.
The third group, Green says, comprises Americans who were never really engaged with religion in the first place, even though they were raised in religious households.
"In the past, we would describe those people as nominally affiliated. They might say, 'I am Catholic; I am a Baptist,' but they never went" to services, Green says of this last group. "Now, they feel a lot more comfortable just saying, 'You know, I am really nothing.' "
According to the poll, 88% of religiously unaffiliated people are not looking for religion.
"There is much less of a stigma attached" to not being religious, Green said. "Part of what is fueling this growth is that a lot of people who were never very religious now feel comfortable saying that they don't have an affiliation."
Demographically, the growth among the religiously unaffiliated has been most notable among people who are 18 to 29 years old.
According to the poll, 34% of "younger millennials" - those born between 1990 and 1994 - are religiously unaffiliated. Among "older millennials," born between 1981 and 1989, 30% are religiously unaffiliated: 4 percentage points higher than in 2007.
Poll respondents 18-29 were also more likely to identify as atheist or agnostic. Nearly 42% religious unaffiliated people from that age group identified as atheist or agnostic, a number far greater than the number who identified as Christian (18%) of Catholic (18%).
Green says that these numbers are "part of a broader change in American society."
"The unaffiliated have become a more distinct group," he said.
CNN's Belief Blog: The faith angles behind the biggest stories
Pew's numbers were met with elation among atheist and secular leaders. Jesse Galef, communications director for the Secular Student Alliance, said that the growth of the unaffiliated should translate into greater political representation for secular interests.
"We would love to see the political leaders lead on this issue, but we are perfectly content with them following these demographic trends, following the voters," Galef said.
"As more of the voters are unaffiliated and identifying as atheist and agnostics, I think the politicians will follow that for votes.
"We won't be dismissed or ignored anymore," Galef said.
The Pew survey suggested that the Democratic Party would do well to recognize the growth of the unaffiliated, since 63% of them identify with or lean toward that political group. Only 26% of the unaffiliated do the same with the Republican Party.
"In the near future, if not this year, the unaffiliated voters will be as important as the traditionally religious are to the Republican Party collation," Green predicted.
Green points to the 2008 exit polls as evidence for that prediction. That year, Republican presidential nominee John McCain beat President Barack Obama by 47 points among white evangelical voters, while Obama had a 52-point margin of victory over McCain among the religiously unaffiliated.
According to exit polls, the proportion of religiously unaffiliated Americans who supported the Democratic presidential candidate grew 14 points from 2000 to 2008.
In announcing the survey's findings at the Religion Newswriters Association conference in Bethesda, Maryland, Green said the growing political power of the unaffiliated within the Democratic Party could become similar to the power the Religious Right acquired in the GOP in the 1980s.
"Given the growing numbers of the unaffiliated, there is the potential that that could be harnessed," he said.

There are about 317million Americans. If 1 in 5 are atheists then that would mean 63.4million atheists. So where do you get the 33million figure from?
FreeFromAgod
Read the article....just because they don't have a religion doesn't mean they don't believe in a god. There's not 63.4 million atheists, there's 63.4 million non-religion related people....big difference. Of course I believe there's a lot more people who really are atheist but fear coming out and there's twice as many agnostics (people on the fence) they have other fears to deal with. If someone claims there's an invisible dragon that will kill anyone who doesn't believe in him, agnostics play it safe and say "I'm not going to say there's no invisible dragon" (just in case it might be true) gotta love that thinking!!
Why would youngsters believe sheer nonsense unless cajoled into it by adults?

VMware announced the availability of AWS Greengrass appliance for vSphere in preview. This integration lets VMware customers take advantage of edge computing capabilities powered by Amazon Web Services.
The AWS Greengrass appliance is packaged as an Ubuntu VM available in an OVA template. It can be easily imported into vSphere, Fusion, and Workstation environments. VMware has included the latest version of Greengrass runtime and tools to get started with the device integration. Once configured, the appliance can be managed from AWS Console which is available as a Greengrass Core device.
AWS Greengrass was announced by Andy Jassy at the re:Invent event in December 2016. It became generally available in June 2017. The software is a cornerstone of AWS' edge computing strategy. It has a small footprint that can run on system-on-a-chip devices like Raspberry Pi and BeagleBone powered by ARM processors. It can also run in full-blown x86 servers in large data center environments. The compute layer of Greengrass is delivered through AWS Lambda, the first serverless computing platform, which was introduced a few years ago.


I think I can try to handle it, if you, guys, don't mind.
Actually, I already have demo app very similar to this app, which I did for my speech at a conference. Seems, I can upgrade this app to new requirements and it'll be done.
Seems, no one care ))) Great!
