Campaign Finances- Nice and Simple

Transcript: regulate political campaign funding, it contains most of the rest of the terms that we'll go over in the presentation Type of organization that raises money for campaigns for or against candidates McCain- Feingold SpeechNow v. Federal Election Commision Organizations that can receive unlimited individual, corporate, and union contributions. Have become increasingly relevant because the IRS isn’t attempting to monitor it. Contributed 300 Million Dollars to the 2012 election cycle. Campaign Finances- Nice and Simple Soft Money PACs Citizens United vs FEC McConnel v Federal Election Commision Court case claiming that limits on Campaign contributions was a violation of the first amendments right to free speech Super PACs contributions to a political party and not a specific candidate to avoid limitations on contribution amounts Essentially, Issue Ads Shortcomings What resulted in the creation of the Super PAC Essentially, it cemented the value that if a committee didn’t make direct contributions to candidates, and only raised independent expenditures, then it would be limitless, because there is no constitutional basis to limit it McCucheon vs. Fec Act that limited the effects of soft money on political campaigns and forced a "stand by your ad" provision in which candidates to include a statement of endorsement on ads that they funded or support But was attacked by several legal disputes and took a while to come into full effect in political elections Often referred to in the context of Dark Money, organizations like this have become increasingly relevant in recent years. Contributions made not by organizations or PACs but by individuals at their own expense and are subject to specific limitations on contributions A supreme court case which held that section 441 of the FECA (limiting contributions of an individual over a period of 2 years to national party and federal candidate commities) was uncostitutional Independent Expenditures Supreme court ruled that limits on individual and candidate expenditures were unconstitutional but upheld disclosure of expenditures and limits on contributions to candidates 501(c)(4) Hard Money Type of PAC that is not limited in how much money it may raise but can not coordinate directly with parties or candidates Politically active nonprofit organization. In this case the supreme court upheld the constitutionality of most of the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act (BRCA) A supreme court case in which the supreme court held that the first amendment of free speech prohibited restriction of independent political expenditures by the federal government by Shea Johnson and Dylan McCoy Money or donations which are backed up by physical property Individual contributions Somebody currently holding office Incumbents Federal Election Campaign Act FECA is the umbrella law that tries Dark Money A communication that advocates for or against a specific candidate but is not endorsed or authorized by any candidate This case changed several fundamental aspects of the FEC and set a precedent that unlimited election spending was something that needed to be guarded against Communications meant to bring up specific problems and raise awareness for them Buckley V. Valeo -effort would be better spent on making sure citizen participation in the electoral process isn't being distorted

Data Templates, Templates and Styling

Transcript: WPF Templating Styles Property Triggers Data Triggers Event Triggers Templates Refactoring It is better practice to store templates and other large resources as seperate resource dictionaries. As an example, we would store our custom Listbox in a resource dictionary called CustomListBox.xaml and import it in our App when we want to instantiate that custom control. Control Templates Apply a set of property values to an element Change the appearance of any style-related (read: asthetic) property Used when you need to have a common set of property values on multiple elements Default Style element is FrameworkElement. Specify TargetType to style other elements IsMouseOver = true Visual tree takes the hierarchical tree and expands its elements into all visual components. Control templates are XAML "recipe" for a control. We can copy the contents of a control template and modify it to "reskin" a core WPF control. Templates vs. Styles Although you can find the templates for WPF core controls in MSDN documentation, easiest way is to use Expression Blend. - Add a control - Right Click on control -> Edit Template Templates used for hierarchical data such as TreeViewItem and MenuItem A chunk of XAML markup that defines how a bound data object should be displayed. Visual Tree Hierarchical Data Templates Styles EventTriggers are hooked up to routed events and generally spark an animation related action on the element to which the style applies. Used to bind to properties of the control to which you are applying the template. Useful when the property is not specific to the aspects you are customizing. Event Triggers Item Panel Templates Templates used to override how objects are layed out in a Panel (or any class derived from Panel). DataTriggers work much like PropertyTriggers but operate on any object property instead of just WPF dependency Property. Property Triggers Logical Tree vs. Visual Tree Styles are used to adjust properties of an element. Templates can replace the entire visual tree of an element. Ex. Use template to replace the background of a button with an ellipse or path object. Data Triggers Styles can be inherited from other styles. Simply use the property "BasedOn" in the Style element. Data Templates Logical tree is a representative tree that describes the heirarchical composition of a WPF application. Style Inheritance IsMouseOver = false Define a list of setters that are activated when specific condition is met. Template Bindings Triggers Logical Tree

Great with students, workers, family, etc. For example: With games like Jeopardy and Family Feud, players can pick practically any answers. The person who is running the game will have to have all of the answers in order to determine if players are correct or not. However, with a game like Who Wants to be a Millionaire, the players only have a choice between answers, A, B, C, or D. Therefore, when the player decides their answer, the person running the game clicks it, and the game will tell them whether they are right or wrong.

Transcript: Conservation of fishing cat Introduction of fishing cat Health: Fishing cats are susceptible to carnivore protoparvovirus, a disease known to kill them. This disease significantly damages the kidney, spleen and gastrointestinal tract of the body. The fishing cat is also vulnerable to diseases and medical conditions such as feline hemoplasmas, transitional cell carcinoma and canine distemper virus. Conservation Threats Wild life Shamim khan 2225138043 Bs Zoology 2022-2026 Since 2016, the fishing cat is listed as a vulnerable species on the IUCN Red List, as the global population is thought to have declined by around 30% in the years 2010–2015; the destruction of wetlands and killings by local people are major threats to the fishing cat.[1] The destruction of wetlands includes increased pollution or conversion for agricultural use and human settlements. The conversion of mangrove forests to commercial aquaculture ponds is a major threat in Andhra Pradesh, and in some places fishing cats are killed. Over-exploitation of local fish stocks and retaliatory killing by local people are also significant threats. The fishing cat is included on CITES Appendix II and protected by national legislation over most of its range. Hunting is prohibited in Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Thailand. Hunting regulations apply in Laos. In Bhutan, Malaysia, and Vietnam, it is not protected outside protected areas, and no information is known about its legal protections in Cambodia. It is the state animal of the Indian state of West Bengal. Its survival depends on protection of wetlands, prevention of indiscriminate trapping, snaring and poisoning. fishing cat The fishing cat (Prionailurus viverrinus) is a medium-sized wild cat of South and Southeast Asia. It has a deep yellowish-grey fur with black lines and spots. Adults have a head-to-body length of 57 to 78 cm (22 to 31 in), with a 20 to 30 cm (8 to 12 in) long tail. Males are larger than females classification of fishing cat: Scientific classification Domain: Eukaryota Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Order: Carnivora Suborder: Feliformia Family: Felidae Subfamily: Felinae Genus: Prionailurus Species: P. viverrinus Characteristics: The fishing cat has a deep yellowish-grey fur with black lines and spots. Two stripes are on the cheeks, and two are above the eyes running to the neck with broken lines on the forehead. It has two rows of spots around the throat. The spots on the shoulder are longitudinal, and those on the sides, limbs and tail are roundish Endangered in Pakistan: In captivity: Fishing cat captive breeding programmes have been established by the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria and the American Association of Zoos and Aquariums. All the fishing cats kept in zoos around the world are listed in the International Studbook of the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums.Zoos in Thailand house around 30 individuals; birth rates are not particularly high.They have been placed in captivity as an "insurance population" due to their vulnerable status in the wild Taxonomy Topic: fishing cat Submitted to: Dr Najiya Al-Arifa Behaviour and ecology Phylogeny: Distribution and habitat: The fishing cat lives among dense vegetation near water and is thought to be primarily nocturnal. It is known to be a proficient long-distance and underwater swimmer. Adult males and females without dependent young are solitary. Females have been reported to range over areas of 4 to 6 km2 (1.5 to 2.3 sq mi), while males range over 16 to 22 km2 (6.2 to 8.5 sq mi). It has been observed resting in thick grassy habitats, often near a water body but sometimes far away from them. Adults have been recorded to vocalise "chuckling" sounds The fishing cat is broadly but discontinuously distributed in South and Southeast Asia. It predominantly inhabits densely vegetated wetlands around slow-moving bodies of water like swamps and marshes.These include low-salinity bodies such as oxbow lakes, and high-salinity ones such as tidal creeks and mangrove forests. Along these bodies of water, it conceals itself within the thick cover of forests, scrublands, reed beds, and grasslands. Most records are from lowland areas. Reproduction and development: Wild fishing cats most likely mate during January and February; most kittens in the wild were observed in March and April. However, fishing cats may mate as late as June. In captivity, the gestation period lasts 63–70 days; females give birth to an average of two to three kittens; the litter size can be as small as one to as large as four.
