If you are just trying to prevent the notifications from being fired when the object is first created and properties set, you can add boolean flag(s) that is/are false until the properties have been set once. You only execute the notification if the flag is true.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
