1. The Policital
Network
A new place for politics

2. 2
Executive Summary
A universally connected social network for politics - a concept designed and developed by Neal Harrington.
The original purpose of the project was to create a place to allow collaboration and participation at the intersection of consultants, campaigns,
candidates and voters; with the goal of empowering citizens to have greater influence over the electoral process. Designed to meet the specific
and unique needs of each type of user within the platform, the network fulfills these requirements by providing several unique and proprietary
functions to each user type.
Some were designed to emulate the functionality of features from LinkedIn, Elance.com, and various other social networks. Others evolved
overtime as we developed the technology, one of which leverages human interests, behavior, and competition in an entirely new way. The idea
is to monetize advocacy by allowing candidates and qualified site members to connect, negotiate and affiliate with each other for the purpose of
taking action for the stated connection.

3. 3
Expanded Revenue Model
Merging all three Harrington product offering will diversify and expand lines of revenue to the following:
TPN Rewards System – Stars
 Candidates buy stars from the TPN to reward to TPN Members (Citizens) for successfully completing an activity or activities agreed to through the affiliation process.
 TPN Members may redeem stars earned for cash or TPN credit
 The TPN profits from the difference
Example:
1. TPN sells “Candidate A” 100 Stars at $1.10 = $110
2. “Candidate A” affiliates with “TPN Member A” and negotiates/agrees to write 10 blogs promoting “Candidate A” for 10 stars – or the cash equivalent of $10.
3. “TPN Member A” successfully completes the task affiliated to Candidate A and is rewarded the 10 stars.
4. “TPN Member A’s” account is credited with $10 in their account which they may wire transfer for free one time per month – similar to how PayPal works
TPN Membership Fees
 Service Providers
1. Monthly from Free to $45 – Look at Elance Membership Plan
 TPN Candidate Member Services
1. Broadcasting Features
2. Video Conferencing Features
3. Online Payment System Management
 TPN Service Provider Transaction Fees
1. The TPN provides a platform for political professionals, vendors and candidates to conduct business. Service Provider fees range 6.75 to 8.75 percent.
 TPN Advertising

4. 4
ADVOCACY POINT System
 All the MEMBERs who register can earn POINTS for their activities on the site.
 For instance, if a MEMBER posts a Blog, for every reply to the blog the MEMBER will earn 2 POINTS.
 Also the MEMBER that makes the reply will earn 1 POINT. This will help to motivate MEMBERs to check for new content on the site and add to it proactively.
Points for Assignments
Assignment:
 An Assignment is a task assigned by the CANDIDATE to the MEMBER, which is directed to achieve the agreed to: ‘TARGET POINTS’ for the Assignment to be completed successfully.
 An Assignment has a Start-Date and an End-Date. The end date is the date before the MEMBER must complete the agreed to “task” in order to receive the agreed upon “TARGET
POINTS”.
 All the points earned by the MEMBER for the Assignment will be added to CANDIDATES account, which in turn will increase CANDIDATE rating.
 For all assignments the MEMBER receives ‘STARS’ awarded by the CANDIDATE
 After successfully completing the assignment, the MEMBER can redeem the STARS for money.
 When a MEMBER is awarded an ‘Assignment’ by the CANDIDATE, the MEMBER initiates activities to earn points for that Assignment.
 We coded a system to allow MEMBERS and CANDIDATES to manage their affiliations, assignments, points, and stars earned A MEMBER
For example,
1. If a MEMBER is to post a Blog for an assignment given by the affiliated candidate, the MEMBER selects the ‘Assignment Name’ when posting the blog to create and maintain a
log of all the actions for that Assignment and the points earned. To begin an Assignment, the CANDIDATE and MEMBER follow an affiliation process.

5. 5
Affiliation Process Flow
Scenario I:
CANDIDATE searches MEMBERS
CANDIDATE sends request to a MEMBER, sends expected target points along with the request.

6. 6
MEMBER accepts/rejects.
If MEMBER accepts the request, TARGET POINTS and awarded STARS are agreed upon.

7. 7
CANDIDATE agrees and fills Assignment Form.
Assignment is listed in ACTIVE ASSIGNMENTS list.

8. 8
MEMBER starts blogging for the Assignment. Selects Assignment Name for which he is blogging
Once the Assignment is Completed successfully (i.e. TARGET POINTS are achieved before Assignment End Date) it is listed under CLOSED-SUCCESSFUL Assignments.

9. 9
Scenario II:
MEMBERS Searches CANDIDATE
MEMBER sends request to a CANDIDATE, sends expected target points along with the request.

10. 10
CANDIDATE Affiliates/Rejects.
If CANDIDATE accepts the request, TARGET POINTS and awarded STARS are agreed upon. CANDIDATE fills Assignment Form.
Assignment is listed in ACTIVE ASSIGNMENTS list.

11. 11

The Political Network code is in an Object Oriented format. The code base was constructed this way to
allow future changes, modifications and expansion easier and more efficient.
Changes Applied to the core architecture of
HARRINGTON-NETWORK
The new Model-View-Controller (MVC) architectural pattern divides an interactive application
into three components. It was originally developed to map the traditional input, processing and
output roles into the GUI realm:
Input --> Processing --> Output
Controller --> Model --> View
 The model contains the core functionality and data. It is independent of specific output
representations or input behavior.
 The view displays information to the user. A view obtains data from the model. There
can be multiple views of the model.
 The controller handles user input.
Views and controllers together provide the user interface.
The model, view and controller are intimately related and in constant contact. Therefore, they
must reference each other. The picture below illustrates the basic Model-View-Controller
relationship:
Figure 1 – HARRINGTON MVC relationship

49. www.harrington-network.com
The purpose of the MVC pattern is to separate the model from the view so that changes to the
view can be implemented, or even additional views created, without having to refactor the
model. Note that the model may or may not reference a persistent data store (database).
Note that although this pattern only shows three components it is possible to divide any one of
them into smaller sub-components.
We are using the X-template engine to implement the MVC architecture. The template html code
is saved in an .xtpl file which is called from a .php which takes care of the business logic.

50. www.harrington-network.com
Example
Code snippet from a .xtpl file that generates form for posting a blog

51. www.harrington-network.com

52. www.harrington-network.com
Code snippet from a .php file that controls the business logic to display a form for posting a blog
in BLOGS module
Design Patterns
An important property of all design patterns is now independent of a particular application
domain. They deal with the structuring of application functionality, not with the implementation
of the application functionality itself.
Data Access Object (DAO)
An example of this design pattern is where an application is deployed with a variety of database
engines and where each of these engines has its own set of APIs. If all these APIs were to be
isolated within a single object, one object per database engine, then switching from one database
to another would be as simple as switching from one DAO to another.
Another variation is where the data may come from a variety of differences sources, such as
DBMS, LDAP, XML repository, et cetera. By routing all access through a DAO the client need
not be concerned about the physical location of the data, or which APIs to use in order to access
it.

a form for posting a module
