Tips for Teaching Kids How to Save Money
Some kids love to save money, others don't. As a parent what can you do to show your kids the importance of setting a goal, budgeting, and saving money? It's important to make saving money fun. And the earlier you start teaching your kids to save money for their education fund the better.
Talk about Money
Your child won't want to save money unless you talk to them about why money is important. While you may not want to talk about family finances and how much you make with your children, you do want them to learn about the value of money. For the most part, kids only see their parents spend money; most don't know how it was earned or how quickly it can disappear. Teaching them the value of money at an early age can help them understand the importance of saving, which will contribute to their success later in life.
Help Your Child Prioritize
Have your child write down a wish list o/f things they want to buy, and have them prioritize that list. Establishing a way to save money will help them think about short-term and long-term goals. If they have an allowance, have them break down what they get and set money aside for different purposes. A short-term goal might be to set aside money for a toy. A long-term goal might be setting aside money for a laptop or education fund.
Make a Savings Goal Chart
Once your child has decided what they want to save their money for, make a chart to help them figure out how long it will take. If they want a toy, put a picture of the toy at the top of the chart; represent each week it will take to save enough money with a box and a goal line. Your child can put a sticker in the box once the money from their weekly allowance has been set aside. This way, they can see themselves getting closer to their goal.
Play Games
A great way to learn the value of money and make saving fun is by playing games. There are a number of games out there that teach children about money. The most popular would have to be Monopoly and The Game of Life.
Use a Piggy Bank
When kids are saving money, they like to have a place where they can watch it accumulate and grow. You might think a piggy bank is an outdated way to save money, but it's still a great way to make saving fun for your kids, especially when you consider that kids are very visual. Telling them about money is one thing, but showing them their coins and bills increasing in a glass piggy bank or jar is something totally different!
Offer Rewards for Saving Money
Rewards are a great way to motivate people. An allowance motivates kids and rewards programs motivate parents. If your child doesn't spend any money during a specific period time, give them a reward or treat. The reward or treat can be anything that continues to motivate your child.
Open a Savings Account
Beyond a piggy bank, when your child is old enough, help them open a savings account. Teach them how to read a monthly bank statement, the importance of compound interest, and money grows if you save.
You can encourage your kids to save extra money by matching anything they set aside that is above and beyond the standard weekly amount. This will give them an early look at different savings programs like a workplace RRSP that matches contributions.
Global RESP Corporation—Helping Families Save for Their Children's RESPs
Teaching your child about the value of money is an important step in helping them save for their future—especially if they're going to pursue a post-secondary education. In addition to their savings, one of the easiest ways to help your child pursue university or college is by setting up a Registered Education Savings Program (RESP).
An RESP is an investment account designed to help you save for your child's post-secondary education. The money grows tax-deferred and the federal government tops it up through the Canada Education Savings Grant (CESG) , Canada Learning Bond, and provincial grants. Students can receive up to $7,200 for the CESG and up to $2,000 for the Canada Learning Bond. As for the provincial grants, students can received up to $2,500 through the Quebec Education Savings Incentive, $1,200 with the British Columbia Training and Education Savings Grant, and $4,500 through the Saskatchewan Advantage Grant for Education Savings.
While it's easy to set up an RESP because of all the investment options, it can be difficult to choose an RESP provider. Why choose Global RESP Corporation (GRESP) to help you save for your child's post-secondary education? Well, for one, the Dealing Representatives at GRESP specialize exclusively in RESPs.
With regional offices in British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, and Quebec, and hundreds of independent representatives across the country, Global RESP Corporation is one of the fastest growing companies in the RESP industry in Canada. Thanks to our national presence, GRESP is one of the few companies that administers all provincial and federal grants available.
If you're interested in getting started with a RESP Plan, find a Global RESP Corporation sales representative in your area. Or fill out a form, and a Global RESP Corporation sales representative will contact you.

We recently released our 14th edition of Onvia's quarterly Market Snapshot report, revealing the latest trends in government contracting in the state, local and education (SLED) marketplace. The 2nd quarter of 2017 continues the strong growth seen in Q1, following three quarters in a row of slight declines during the uncertainty leading up to the 2016 elections. But this recent shift was not the only one over the last few years. The year-over-year percentages of growth rates in formal bids haven't remained consistent or progressed in a single direction but have shown some strong cyclical or "up" vs. "down" phases since we began this series in early 2014.
The patterns visible in the chart below represent deviations from what would otherwise be the long-term stable or incremental percentage trend (i.e. typically around 1-2% growth from the previous year no matter what, etc.) These swings in the growth rate can be caused by changes in fiscal policy (i.e. spending more on pensions, Medicaid and reserves, with less in other areas), procurement strategy (i.e. buying more without advertised bids) or purchasing confidence (such as worries about the 2016 elections and potential impacts on future revenue).
The first 2014-15 "down" cycle
By mid-2014 agencies were noticeably pulling back on issuing traditional bids. This counter-intuitive trend was happening at the same time SLED agency spending on goods and services was recovering with steady improvement in growth rates. Based on the Bureau of Economic Analysis (without adjusting for inflation), spending on goods and services trended from 0.2% in 2013 to 2.0% in 2014 to 3.1% in 2015. Clearly government was now spending more on contracting, but the dollars were not lining up with the number of new bids.
The key to understanding this period was a fundamental evolution in how agencies were making purchases. In our quarterly reports, we pointed to a greater focus on efficiency, with changes in buying methods that helped reduce the need for formal, advertised bids.
This 2014-15 'down cycle' period was a time when short-staffed agencies were facing pressures to buy things in more efficient ways – with less turnaround time and more predictability - including co-op purchases.Ben Vaught, Director, Onvia for Government
Large national co-ops have reported strong growth over the last 5-7 years but Onvia's last two annual agency surveys noted minimal change in usage from 2016 to 2017. With our survey noting a full 14% of all spend already going to co-ops of all types (and 65% of agencies now using national and 74% using local/regional co-ops), this key method may have reached a mainstream plateau. Any further increases may be more incremental and no longer limit growth rates for bids and RFPs.
The second 2016 "down" cycle
The recent three-quarter "down" phase in 2016 can be attributed to greater caution resulting from an uncertain election year. Although the economy continues to be slow, there seems to be a greater confidence this year in its direction and stability, with supporting evidence from metrics such as a stable stock market and low unemployment.
Our recent survey of contractors indicated overall confidence was up in 2017 by 5% versus 2016, and there was a significant uptick in the share of companies reporting the current economy was more of a positive factor in their outlook as opposed to a cause of uncertainty or business risk.
While there is certainly uncertainty in the air, overall there is a sense of confidence in the economy that I believe will translate into more tax revenue and larger budgets.Office supplies vendor in Onvia's Survey of Government Contractor Sales Expectations 2017-18
The short "up" cycles
One of the reasons why the occasional "up" cycle rises so high relative to the long-term average is that these are times when agencies are not only deciding to move forward after a period of reduced volumes, but are also fitting in additional purchases that had been delayed or ignored during the "down" periods. This helps explain the appearance of a temporary spike rather than a more gradual increase. The recent increases may seem unusually robust but one should consider:
- The strong first half of 2017 follows three negative quarters in a row during the 2016 election year
- Recent 2017 growth was assisted by $200 billion in new infrastructure projects approved by voters in November 2016
- 2017 growth was not just in infrastructure
If the market had not paused or stagnated through most of 2016, the last six months would surely not have been as strong in comparison.
Summarizing the pattern
The last three and a half years can be broken down into defined "up" or "down" segments. Since 2014 this market has experienced two periods of decline or stagnation lasting 3-5 quarters in duration and averaging between -1 and -2% in severity. These were offset by three short periods of solid recovery averaging 4-5%. Overall, growth was 0.7% counting both "up" and "down" phases. However, over the last 12 months the growth kicked up to 2.0%, or over twice that pace.
Implications for quarterly sales volume
Savvy vendors already grasp the seasonal nature of most types of purchases, with Q1 and Q2 containing a larger share of bids and RFPs every year. So how can companies use these cycles to improve their forecasts? What we are suggesting is not that a Q2 could end up as low as a Q4 or vice versa but that there is an additional "purchasing cycle" dynamic operating on top of the normal pattern of seasonal differences.
|Share of Annual Bids/RFPS (Avg. of 2014-16)
|Avg. Q1
|Avg. Q2
|Avg. Q3
|Avg. Q4
Admittedly, some of these movements can be influenced by an unusually high or low period a year before (i.e. a -4% quarter makes it that much easier to get +4% growth next time from a smaller base, etc.) But upon closer inspection, other forces like confidence in economic and revenue growth are also driving factors. For example, one year ago the market was nearly flat at -1%, but now it's growing by 5%. This cannot be explained simply by a smaller starting point in 2016.
Evidence such as an improved stock market, as well as results from our 2017 surveys of contractors and agency buyers, helps to support the explanation of pent-up demand. An appreciation of which leg in the cycle we are currently in can assist with sales planning, expectations for volume and in understanding the mentality of buyers.
Further year-over-year growth in bids and RFPs at the current high rate of 5% is not likely based on historical trends and prior examples of the short-term "up" phases in the cycle. With a long-term average run rate of 0.7% and the recent 4-quarter average of 2.0%, we expect the trend line to become normalized at a more sustainable level over the next few quarters. But even if agencies slow their growth to a bare minimum in the next six months, the overall 2017 average should still show a noticeable improvement over last year.
Contractors are encouraged to continue monitoring these quarterly trends as well as look for our upcoming 2018 Forecast report that will be released in November of this year. The Forecast will provide further clarity on how the purchasing cycle will be moving in Q4 and throughout 2018 to help contractors with their forecasts and annual sales planning.

Open Source has stormed into the IT world over the past few years. The level of flexibility and transparency that open source provides makes it a great option to carry out projects and other IT related tasks. Open Source happens to be a great source of evaluation and constructive criticism since many professionals can contribute to your projects and help make it better. Open source originally started with the motive of having users post their projects in the open source and contribute to other projects, but now it has proceeded into the world of web services too. Using open source web services allows organizations to lose free of a single vendor giving them flexibility of choice and lower prices.
Although Open Source may seem random at first but you will be surprised to know that many existing technologies are built as Open Source projects. Some of the most popular open source technologies are HTTP and TCP/IP. There are so many technologies that we use regularly that use open source. One of the most popular servers that is used in web development Apache, is open source along with the underlying protocols. There are many operating systems that are used often by professionals are open source, for e.g. Linux based operating systems such as Ubuntu, Fedora, Red Hat, and many UNIX based operating systems like SOLARIS, etc.
Open Source Web Services comes up with many advantages. One of the biggest advantages is freedom from licensing costs as basic tools are free in open source. Open source has been able to create a large and ever expanding community. As a result many new and updates are pretty frequent. This helps an organization in keeping pace with the latest advancements in technology. Moreover solutions to problem are more readily available at lower or almost no costs. Upgrades in Open Source happen constantly as opposed to those in proprietary vendors who have to consider marketing sales and variations. Open source technology provides superior quality products at much lower prices. Paul Brown, President of FiveSight has stated that,
"Without using Open Source, we wouldn't have been able to launch our company…If FiveSight on its own, or any other company, had to implement XML schema or WSDL or any other number of Web services technologies in combination, it would be an impossible task. The Open Source community is a catalyst for innovation in software, and so I know things like where we can get a good Open Source implementation of a transaction manager. It's an opportunity to solve a hard problem by building on work from the community at large. We've used Open Source in our development work, from the first piece of software we deployed. We didn't have the money to pay for developers and staff"
We provide numerous open source web development services to our clients at affordable costs and standard quality. WordPress development is another very popular source for website development. And we use open source web services to provide WordPress Development related services. We also provide all Joomla development services using open source.

A house plan in a visual representation of how a house is laid out, showing where all the different rooms shall be. It also shows the sizes of each room and how the whole house works together. The hard part is usually for clients to figure out exactly what house plan they need in order to realize their life long dream of becoming home owners or to find the right person to guide them as they make this decision. The main factor that will determine the kind of house plan you will settle for is the amount of money you are willing to spend.
It may look easy to figure out exactly how you want your house to look like but if you are not careful, you can easily miss some key elements that you need to put into consideration. This is where you need an expert to help you make your dream come true. A good architect will help you layout your dream home on paper. As you go about scouting the internet and talking to a professional on your house plan, take these points into consideration.
Each country has its own set of rules and regulations that determine how building are built, both commercial and residential. The rules differ greatly thanks to devolution. So before selecting any house plan, a visit to your county council offices is necessary. A good architect should also have the relevant information and offer you guidance during the process of designing your house plan. You will be required to give some specified amount of space between your house and the boundary wall. You might also be required to give up some amount of land for future roads that are planned in that area. The regulations will also stipulate house big your house will be. All the different requirements must be met for the county council to approve your drawings and allow you to start building. The part of getting your drawings approved can be very hectic and time consuming especially if you don't have the right information.
So how much money are you planning to spend on your new house? Never lose site of your overall budget. The budget determines the kind of house you can afford. Remember to include professional fees as well as fees required by your county council for approval in your budget. Without a budget, it is easy to get grand ideas of a palatial home that you sadly cannot finance. The pressure to keep up with society may have you biting off way more that you can be able to chew. A budget helps you keep your perspective. Many get carried away, adding unnecessary rooms to their house plans only to build a house with dead, unused or under utilized rooms. You are better of building a smaller house that is better in quality that a big house that is low quality. Of course the last thing you want is to find yourself in a home debt that you did not plan for.
Consider your current and future lifestyle when picking building plans. Families with small babies may favor open floor plans while families with teenagers may prefer plans that offer more privacy. If you work from home then you want a plan that gives you enough space to work comfortably. Are you big on entertaining? Do you enjoy outdoor living? Do you often host guest in your home? Answer these questions and you will be well on your way to selecting the perfect house design.
Another factor that needs special consideration in the needs of your family members. If you have any member who is physically challenged then their needs must be top of the list as you make your choices. Their comfort must come first. Also ask yourself, "Will I enjoy taking stairs to my bedroom when I am older or should I have my bedroom at the lower level?" The choice to build a bungalow or a multiple story building is very key here.
At the end of the day, you want to be extremely happy and comfortable with the home that you build. Remember, what makes you happy is not what makes another person happy. Build a house that you will love and enjoy living in. Of course one that you can afford and one that meets your present and future needs. Take your time and look around, visit different estates and browse the internet for ideas. Home ownership is one of the biggest decision you will ever make and so you want to get the right house plans in Kenya.

Nick Carroll On: The Andy Irons Doco and The Ian Cairns Book
Days of thunder and tragedy recalled in very different ways by two new and pretty epic stories.
By Nick Carroll
At a very strange moment in pro surfing, two extraordinary documents of its very human past have emerged.
They couldn't be further apart. One is a film, the other's a book. One is all emotion, the other's a vast detailed compendium of facts, quotes and accounts. One's about running out of control, the other's about a struggle for control. Oddly, the protagonists share a birthday.
Walter Ian Cairns was born July 24, 1952. Twenty years later he won the most significant surf contest in the world at the time, the Smirnoff Pro, riding a self-designed version of the Bonzer. Ten years after that, he began constructing a takeover of professional surfing via the soon-to-be-named Association of Surfing Professionals or ASP.
We don't quite get to that point in Ian's career in this, Volume One of Kanga, though the book—a self-published effort—runs out to nearly 500 pages. (Yep there's a Volume Two on the way! No other surfer has been given such colossal treatment. It's almost as if Ian is surfing's Winston Churchill.)
The author, Wayne Patrick Murphy, is a salt of the earth Western Australian surfer who spent years roaming the desert coasts of South Oz and serving on ASP judging panels before moving to Ireland 18 years ago. He's a skilled and persistent writer for whom this is a first major effort in the surfing genre, and he does not spare that effort. One reason Kanga requires two volumes is that Wayne's pretty much re-recounting the history of surfing in the process. It's a vast act of contextualising, full of quotes and detail, and it risks dragging the reader away from the biographical subject, though a greedy reader like me will get through the context pretty quickly and back to the adventures of Ian—from a kid learning to surf in Sydney and Perth, to a young man pioneering the pro scene via jumpsuit in the Bronzed Aussies days.
Philip Andrew Irons was born July 24, 1978. Sixteen years later he was on the cover of Surfing magazine. Eight years after that he commenced a triple world title run and an epic rivalry with Kelly Slater that remains professional surfing's highest ever watermark. Eight years after that, he died.
In Kissed By God, eight years on again from that terrible time, you're seeing a very different and much rawer act of storytelling, one you sense could never have been attempted earlier. Chasms of privacy and unresolved emotion had to be bridged. Privately Andy knew he was a drug addict, yet only now, in this documentary, does everyone around him begin to fully grasp it. His brother Bruce is incandescent, impossible not to watch as he confronts himself and all of us with what their lives were like. His widow Lyndie lives out the dark and light of her departed husband.
The film doesn't go into every bleak fact of Andy's last days; that's not its job. Instead, it does what film does best—opens up the emotional context and lets us in. In a small yet very sharp piece of filmcraft, one of AI's rehab admission sheets appears on screen; the spaces beneath the questions are empty, then Andy's handwritten answers fall one by one into place. Suddenly, there you are with him, scratching out the answers, yet with the viewer's knowledge that in the end, they didn't help.
The two, Cairns and Irons, are intertwined by more than birthdays. They represent a Yin and Yang of the surf culture. AI plunged into it with all his manic energy, won and lost without sparing himself, suffered through depressive episodes, made millions, and self medicated like he surfed Teahupoo—on a wing and a prayer.
Steely Ian, on the other hand, was raised at a time when dope, acid and co were pretty much de rigeur among his crew. Yet he stood back. You can't help but feel that, for him, drug use might have represented a loss of control, a sort of surrender—something Ian can't abide, in himself or others. Pro surfing never earned him a fortune, but he stuck to his creed. Volume One begins with an extended and detailed explanation of the events of 1987, when he was asked by a Honolulu police detective named Karl Godsey to testify in court against Eddie Rothman and Tony Sanchez, who'd been charged with a range of offences connected with standing over North Shore cocaine dealers. (Both were acquitted of all charges.) Godsey had tried to persuade numerous people to testify; only Ian and his one-time arch enemy in the pro surfing business, Fred Hemmings, showed up.
And that's another connection—Hawaii. Both surfers were defined by their actions in the surf that launched and still sustains modern surfing: their performances, their surfing instincts, and in AI's case, as a Kauai born kid for whom Pipe was a natural stage.
In Ian's case, his surfing life was launched by winning an award named after Duke Kahanamoku and crowned by Sunset Beach and Waimea Bay. He thought his court testimony would earn the price of banishment; Volume Two will tell us how that turned out.

I imagine as you've begun your journey on educating yourself on the nuances of music publishing, and specifically how to confirm that you are positioned to collect all of your royalties, you've become fatigued by all of the acronyms. We understand. They are seemingly never-ending, but hopefully, this will help provide some clarity on the types of organizations responsible for licensing, monitoring and collecting royalties on behalf of rights holders, aka you.
The first thing to understand is that a PRO, or performing rights organization, is just a type of CMO.
So, what exactly is a CMO? It's a Collective Management Organization which enables copyright owners and administrators to efficiently and cost-effectively collect royalties generated by many types of use. The three distinguishable functions of a CMO are:
- To license the use of the rights they manage
- To monitor that use in order to enforce the conditions upon which the license has been granted
- To collect and distribute the royalties payable as a result of the licensed use
To put it frankly, the landscape of copyright licensing is vast, complex, and often times tedious. There are thousands and thousands of payment sources across hundreds of countries all with different copyright law. CMOs are in place all over the world to simplify the process to effectively connect copyright holders to their royalties.
So, what are the two most common types of CMOs? Those are PROs, or Performing Rights Organizations, and MROs, or Mechanical Rights Organizations.
You may be familiar with what a PRO is, especially if you're in North America, as you are likely already a member of one - think ASCAP, BMI, PRS, SOCAN, BUMA, etc. If you're not, click here to read why you should be. These collection societies are responsible for the licensing, monitoring and collection of performance royalties generated from categories such as public performance and broadcast, or more specifically, sources such as radio stations, TV networks, gyms, airports, bars, and live music venues. They also collect from digital services such as Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Pandora, YouTube, etc. for their use of music.
MROs consist of companies like The Harry Fox Agency, Music Reports, Media, CMMRA, SODRAC, MCPS, etc. Their sole focus is to manage the collection of mechanical royalties generated from physical releases, digital downloads (iTunes) and also digital services as the ones previously listed. Physical and digital mechanical royalties are often paid to CMOs via a mechanical license with label and distribution services, whereas about half of the publishing royalty of a stream is directed to an MRO.
It's worth noting that in some countries, both functions of PROs and MROs can live under one roof as one CMO.
It is a common misconception of songwriters that once they are members of a collection society, they are fully covered for the collection of all their publishing royalties. Unfortunately, that is not true. Think of it like this - if there are roughly 195 countries in the world and each has at least one, if not a few collection societies that, if your music is being used in those territories, are collecting your royalties, then you'd essentially need to register your songs with each of those collection societies. Knowing that there are potentially over 195 collection societies is the first step, but imagine how much time and energy it would take for you to affiliate as a member and register your songs to each and every one of them. To ensure you're completely covered in many or all of these societies, having a publisher or pub admin like Songtrust should be an important part of your business decisions.
As the landscape of music publishing continues to change, it is likely that there will be more services focusing on specific rights whether it be performance, mechanical, digital, print, sync, etc. Knowing that these CMO's are in place to better your ability to collect is important but it is also pivotal to understand how they coexist amongst one another and your other partners such as a publisher.
Take control of your publishing. Maximize Songtrust for your songs and business.
We created this guide to answer a simple question: How do songwriters support themselves?
The answer is not as simple as we'd like, but our goal is to make it as clear, transparent and understandable as we possibly can.
Songtrust is more than just a rights management platform and publishing administrator - we're a team of experts in the music community who strive to educate, support, and provide thought leadership to creators, representatives, and businesses across the music industry.
Our hope is that you'll finish this guide with an better understanding of the business behind songwriting and have actionable resources to help you be successful.

Hey there,
Tons of great music this week. As usual I need clones to catch it all. Especially since I'll be at Lockn' with 30,000 others listening to Phish and about 30 other fantastic bands. I'm excited to see the new stage. A 60-foot-by-60-foot stage allows for two different bands to be set up at the same time. One performance will be on the front side, and the 56-foot turntable allows the stage to rotate when the next band is set to perform.
I'm really bummed I'll miss Moon Taxi, Captain Green, Jim Lauderdale, the Wildwood Revival Americana festival and Adron's beautiful voice and fantastic whistling.

Appalachian Power continues its preparations for a winter storm that could that could bring up to 10 inches of heavy, wet snow to parts of its Tennessee and Virginia service areas.
Forecasts show the most southern parts of our Virginia and Tennessee service territories being the most impacted by this storm. About 6-10 inches of heavy, wet snow is predicted for all of the company's eastern Tennessee service area, Buchanan, Dickenson, Henry, Lee, Patrick, Russell, Scott, Smyth, Tazewell, Washington, and Wise counties in Virginia, and parts of Carroll, Grayson and Pittsylvania counties in Virginia.
About 6-10 of drier snow is possible in parts of Bedford, Bland, Floyd, Franklin, Giles, Montgomery, Pulaski, Roanoke and Wythe counties in Virginia.
The concern for outages exists more in the areas that receive wet snow rather than the areas with dry snow. Wet snow can weigh down trees and lines and cause significant widespread damage to electric facilities.
Storm Preparation Efforts
Today, Appalachian Power has started moving contractors and assessors into areas in Tennessee and Virginia that are expected to be most impacted by the storm. These workers will be ready if and when outages occur.
Additional crews from utilities outside the company's service area, including AEP Ohio, Indiana Michigan Power, First Energy and Dayton Power and Light, will arrive tomorrow. Additional crews from areas unaffected by the storm will be ready on Monday to assist in restoration efforts, if needed.
The company continues to monitor the weather closely and will adjust its plans as forecasts warrant.
Safety Message
Heavy wet snow can cause many downed trees and power lines. Customers should treat all downed lines as live power lines and stay away from them. Never touch downed power lines or sparking equipment. Keep children and pets away from fallen lines and anything the lines may touch.
Additional safety tips are posted at https://www.appalachianpower.com/outages/faq/OutageSafetyTips.aspx.
Next Update: Sunday, December 9, 2018 – 10 a.m.

In January 1980, a week before the New Hampshire primary, The Wall Street Journal ran a front-page article about a focus group it had assembled to assess the prospects of Ronald Reagan. Not one of the 14 participants, including six who had voted for Reagan four years earlier in the primary, said they planned to vote for him. A week later, Reagan won that primary convincingly.
Today, 35 years later, the polls show Donald Trump and Ben Carson leading the crowded GOP presidential pack in Iowa and other early-primary states. But don't bet the house that either will do as well as expected.
Why? Credit the phenomenon of false proxy power - and it has far more serious consequences today for corporations and other organizations than it does in the political arena. Especially in the crisis-communications arena, false proxy power can trigger companies to follow a course far more disruptive and dangerous than one they would have taken if only they had looked at a situation with far more scrutiny and hard data. Too frequenlty, organizations aren't examining situations close enough before taking action. And this is only complicated by the fact that there are no voting booths set up to provide immediate findings on winners and losers.
So what exactly is it? Let's look at another recent example - again, a political one. In Houston, voters earlier this month handily defeated a controversial equal rights ordinance that offered broad nondiscrimination protections. Backed by the White House and the state's top officials, the ordinance was expected to be supported or lose by a slim margin. Why did it fail by a wide margin? Because supporters didn't gauge or examine closely enough the extent of the opposition to it from conservative voters.
Not acting as expected
When push comes to shove, people don't always do what they say they intend to do. They don't vote for the candidate or issue that they indicated they would. As for critical issues, for instance, they might voice support for climate control initiatives and then do the opposite. Consider the auto industry. Car makers make costly bets that electric cars will gain much more popularity. They assume buyers today prefer a greener car. But then sales disappoint - just look at sagging sales of the hybrid Toyota Prius. Indeed, as gasoline prices sink to $2 a gallon, sales again surge for gas-guzzling vehicles.
In brief, what you see isn't always what you get - so don't accept things at face value. Too often today, CEOs and their leadership teams aren't heeding that advice. Far too frequently, they accept the radical transparency of social media conversations and crowdsourcing and simply assume that consumers will base decisions on that explosion of conversation.
Call it the digital chattering class. So when 56 percent of Americans surveyed rank climate change as one of the two most critical issues, along with income inequality, these organizations make decisions based on assumptions gleaned from that high percentage.
Those assumptions can prove disastrous for companies. What's missing - and it's vital - is the extra step of conducting research on the ground. Companies must, and pardon the cliché, peel back the onion with hard and consistent spade work and research to really grasp what the consumer outcome is really likely to be.
Needed: Much deeper research, exploration
They must explore much more deeply if the proxy of expression gleaned from, say, social media will match the behavior of their customers or others at the cash register - or the voting booth. They must take the extra steps to determine if their customers or prospective customers will vote their heart or their pocketbook.
Many companies are taking this extra time and research. Some airlines, for instance, are looking at weather patterns, not just diesel emissions, to determine their greenhouse gas footprint and strategies. Increasingly, corporations must go well beneath the surface winds to grasp what's truly going on with issues most important to them and society. Corporations must do a much better job. If it is food scarcity, they must do the extra research beyond the headlines to determine where it's an issue and how it's manifesting itself. They must employ calibrators to determine the scale and proportion of an issue.
Otherwise, they're creating a false sense of scale and paradigm - indeed, a false proxy power. Get used to that term. You're bound to hear much more about it.

Ex-LinkedIn boss Cliff Rosenberg backs Airbnb management start-up MadeComfy
Australian Airbnb property management company MadeComfy has raised $1.1 million from investors, including departing local LinkedIn CEO Cliff Rosenberg, which values the company at $5.5 million.
Mr Rosenberg now has a 6 per cent stake in MadeComfy, with other investors in this round including Rolf Hansen and Peter O'Connell, co-founders of ASX-listed telco company Amaysim, Hein Vogel, a former Macquarie banker who is now managing director of Investec Australia, and Manfred Hasseler, an adviser and investor in Airtasker.
Mr Rosenberg said he was attracted to MadeComfy as an investment opportunity because the business allows home owners to participate in the sharing economy.
Mr Rosenberg said the company has been "selective" in who it brought on as investors. He earlier invested in restaurant booking platform Dimmi which was sold to TripAdvisor in 2015.
He said after seven years at LinkedIn, he had decided to leave the company to pursue a more "portfolio" approach to his career and explore his passion in the technology space.
Friday was Mr Rosenberg's last day at LinkedIn and in addition to investing in and advising MadeComfy and other start-ups, Mr Rosenberg will continue to sit on the board of ASX-listed technology companies Afterpay, Nearmap and Pureprofile as a non-executive director.
MadeComfy co-founders Sabrina Bethunin and Quirin Schwaighofer still own the majority 60 per cent stake in the company.
Mr Schwaighofer said MadeComfy will be using the investment to bring in a chief technology officer; improve its IT infrastructure so home owners can have access to a dashboard of their property's performance; invest in data analysis so it can predict future performance of properties; and expand the company to Brisbane and Melbourne.
Founded in 2015, MadeComfy now manages around 300 properties in Sydney, about half of which are investment properties and the other half primary homes which get rented out while home owners are on holidays.
Mr Schwaighofer said the company takes around 20 per cent commission and delivers between 5 to 10 per cent yield, compared to the rental yield of between 2 to 4 per cent.
Competitive market
MadeComfy faces competition from local and overseas Airbnb management companies. They include: British-based Airsorted which has recently expanded to Sydney; local company and chill which primarily targets property investors and now has 230 properties under its management across Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane; Host My BnB which manages around 50 properties in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne; and HeyTom, which manages around 50 properties in Sydney with plans to expand to Melbourne and Gold Coast.
However, Mr Rosenberg said as early entrant to the market, MadeComfy was in a "very strong position" and will maintain the leading position in the market.
"There is always space in any sector for more than one player and we would like to think MadeComfy is one of the industry leaders," he said.
"One key differentiation of MadeComfy is our strength in data analytics and the ability to deliver significantly higher net returns than achievable through a long-term or self-managed Airbnb rental," Mr Rosenberg said.
Mr Schwaighofer said while the barrier to entry to the industry is low, the company focuses on the performance of properties which distinguishes it from other companies.
"It is one of the easiest companies you can start, but the difference with us is it's performance driven. We focus on the net return and not just the cleaning. Our property managers are not just checking guests in, but we make sure they have an amazing experience," he said.
Mr Schwaighofer said he aimed to reach 3000 active properties under its management by 2020.
When asked about the global regulatory crackdown on Airbnb rentals, Mr Rosenberg said MadeComfy keeps abreast of any legislative changes and ensure "100 per cent compliance with local laws".
In April, NSW government gave a tentative green light to Airbnb rentals subject to further consultation, and said it will permit home owners to rent out private rooms and primary residences on a short-term basis and allow short-term rental of empty properties unless it exceeds certain "impact thresholds".
