Well, the sun is out, and it's supposed to reach a high of 4 degrees today, so I guess it's sort of Spring-like. I'm even going to hang some laundry outside today, although I'm not sure if that's merely over-optimism or outright insanity on my part! Anyway, that's for later in the day. For now, I will concentrate on books… and of course, my cup of tea.
I am more than halfway through that thick novel I mentioned last week, the one I was going to read for review, The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair by Joël Dicker. It is over 600 pages, but it's so gripping that I had a hard time putting it down most nights last week. With just under 300 pages left to go, I think I will have to put it aside in order to read my next book club selection before my group meets on Saturday. Since I'm over halfway through the novel, though, I feel it's safe to give you a bit of info about the plot so far. Marcus Goldman is a young New York writer with a bestseller under his belt, achieved before he turned 30. Facing prolonged writer's block, he turns to his friend and mentor, writer Harry Quebert, for support, and is invited out to Harry's seaside home in Somerset for some R&R. Shortly thereafter, Harry is arrested for the murder of Nola Kellergen, a young girl who has been dead for over 30 years, and whose body has recently been discovered buried in Harry's back yard. Marcus returns to Somerset in order to support Harry and to find the truth about what happened that night so many years ago, as well as the events leading up to Nola's murder. He discovers that during the summer of 1975, 34-year old Harry fell in love with 15-year old Nola, and planned to leave town with her at the end of the summer. He also discovers that Nola, and Harry's forbidden love for her, were the inspiration for Harry's career-defining novel, The Origin of Evil. As Marcus investigates people and events in and around Somerset in 1975, he uncovers truths and cover-ups that lead him deeper and deeper into a world he could never have imagined. This novel is proving to be many things for this reader. It is an exploration of a writer's life, with all its struggles and triumphs. It is also a murder mystery, but from the perspective of a writer (it felt a bit like reading about Truman Capote investigating and then writing In Cold Blood, except that this is not "true crime"). This book also satirizes American culture, and small-town mentality, reminding me of Jonathan Franzen's The Corrections. But when I first began the novel, I thought of Paul Auster, particularly his New York trilogy and The Music of Chance, where all is not what it seems, and the main character, who seems to be both smart and reliable, is at once taken advantage of and used as a pawn in a much larger and more ominous game. You can see how this novel could be completely gripping for me, and although I think it is overlong, I'm going to have a hard time putting it aside to read Property by Valerie Martin for next Saturday.


SEO (search engine optimization) marketing is essential to the success of your marketing campaign and your business. And yet, it is often overlooked by entrepreneurs. For some, it seems like a huge technical task that is beyond their grasp. Other entrepreneurs focus their promoting on social networks.
However, SEO is what will bring visitors directly to your site. If you don't feel comfortable doing technical tasks, this is an excellent task to outsource to your Virtual Assistant.
Whether you outsource or do it yourself, follow these tactics to make the most of your SEO marketing.
Don't skip the 'alt' and 'title' tags on images.
If you use WordPress, you can put text in the alt tag area that means something to search engines and viewers too. If you want to place higher in search results, and don't we all, pay careful attention to include these tags. Google places a high value on alt texts to determine what is on the image but also to determine the topic of the surrounding text.
Did you know that servers are case sensitive?
For that reason, when you type out an URL that you want to be SEO friendly you should not capitalize any of the letters. To improve your chances to rank higher in search engines, your URL needs to contain keywords that explain the article and be easy to read by both humans and search engines.
Just as you focus on external linking, you should also focus on internal linking.
For example, under a blog post adding an "if you liked this you may like this" link below it may keep your readers on your site and read longer. The length of time your visitors stay on your site is referred to as 'bounce rate' and it is another area Google looks at to calculate your rank on search engines.
Add new content but also upgrade old content by ensuring it's still relevant and all the links work. When the search engines crawl your site, they like finding new information and it determines how often they return. If they don't consistently find new content, they will return less often.
Broken links annoy visitors on your site so they click off to find a site that works correctly. When this occurs search engines will assume that your website is not providing a good user experience to the visitors. This results in search engines assigning you a lower rank. Review your old content for broken links often and fix them asap.
When looking for keywords consider long-tail keywords for your blog posts.
A study by Wordstream found that 50% of search queries are four words or longer. When creating your keywords, think about what you would enter in the search engines to find your post. For example, for this post would you search 'SEO' or 'SEO marketing tips'? Using more words narrows search results down to the most relevant results.
If you're going to guest blog for SEO, choose blogs that are relevant to your site, have the same audience, rank higher than your site, and receive a lot of engagement. This is easy to find with a little research.
Why guest blog? By including backlinks to your site, one guest post equates to three or four links for your landing page. That's more search engine food. By writing for more popular blogs, you increase your credibility because readers will associate you with the person they already trust. These are just a couple of ways guest blogging benefits you. For more in-depth information, here is a great article from SEMrush.
Headlines matter a great deal when it comes to SEO.
Create headlines that include keywords and aren't tricky. Don't stuff them with keywords! You may think this is a great way to attract the search engines but it will lose your readers. The days of sensational headlines are gone. The best headlines describe what the article is about with clear words that your visitors, as well as search engines, understand.
When you publish an infographic, also include a blog post about it that gives the same information in the text.
Since most infographics are an image file, the search engines can't see them. So without the text included in the post, they will not help your search engine rank. By adding the same information in text format, it will be found and positively affect your rank.
Don't make the mistake of ignoring SEO because it's too technical or you don't understand it. Doing this will negatively affect your marketing campaigns success. Either take the time to learn how to use SEO effectively or outsource it to a professional.


We can't put our finger on exactly why, but for whatever reason it has been quite difficult to find a solid progressive rock band these days. We either encounter over-dramatic vocalists, excessive fretwork, god awful lyrics, or just blatant Dream Theater clones. We were refreshed to have stumbled upon The Osiris Club hailing from London UK and their sophomore release entitled The Wine-Dark Sea. Apparently conceived as an instrumental band fusing horror movie soundtracks, the band eventually transformed into a full-blown prog rock band with depth and vision. They have certainly upped their game over the two full length releases. We found the album flow on their latest to be exceptional, filled with unique melodies and a steadfast vocal performance that does not tire.
The longest track and closer takes the cake. "A Winters Night on Sentinel Hill" blends psychedelia with a myriad of wonderful melodies and unique layers. Dark undertones bleed through a wild journey as we hear ELP and Pink Floyd influences throughout. Its an epic track almost paying homage to the tremendous bands that blessed us in the 1970s.
Wet your whistle with Anspach & Hobday, The Smoked Brown, a terrific blend at 6% ABV. Inspired by an age when London's brewers dried their malts in flame-heated kilns, this beer has a subtle smokiness permeating the flavor and aroma. A fruity bitterness is underpinned by an oak dryness, creating an unusual beer full of intrigue and complexity.

UNIFIL Press Statement on Tripartite Meeting, 9 May 2012
Also on the agenda was a discussion on the construction of the wall by the Israeli in the general area near the town of Kafr Kila. The approximately one kilometre long security wall will replace the technical fence on the same line as the existing fence.
In this regard UNIFIL Force Commander proposed that additional measurements should be carried out on the ground to avoid misunderstandings that could create tension in this sensitive area.
A UNIFIL technical team will start carrying out measurements in the coming days.
Following the tripartite meeting, Major-General Serra said: "I appreciate the continuous efforts that both parties have exerted to resolve the issue and to prevent tensions from building up in the work area. After all, this project was designed to improve the security in the area and therefore, we cannot allow a de-conflicting project to become a source of conflict in one of the most sensitive areas."
He added: "It was a constructive meeting. Both parties expressed their full support and commitment to work together with UNIFIL for the implementation of the relevant provisions of resolution 1701 and to maintain calm in the area."

Careers at Gemalto
Gemalto's mission is to help people to trust one another in an increasingly connected world.
Gemalto is the result of a merger between two firms: Gemplus and Axalto. In 1979 tech firm Schlumberger licensed various chip card technologies. In the 1980s it produced phone chip cards for Swedish operator Telia and France Telecom. It then formed alliances with telecom operators globally, enabling it to play a role in the creation of the GSM mobile communication standard.
In the early 1990s Schlumberger designed a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card to facilitate the launch of GSM in Europe. This led to the deployment of microprocessor card technology as a security and access solution for mobile telephony throughout the world. The rise in use of SIM cards helped the company experience significant growth in revenues and product introductions.
Schlumberger's success enabled it to purchase many other firms, with acquisitions including Cowells, Malco, Printer, Cardtech, and Solaic. Its card activities at the time were managed by various subsidiaries. In 2003 the company created a division to consolidate these various units into one entity, calling it Axalto. Axalto was spun off publicly, becoming listed on the Euronext Paris market.
In 1988 Marc Lassus and some colleagues founded Gemplus, a provider of pre-paid phone cards. Its business was conducted through Gemplus S.C.A., a French limited partnership. In 1999 Gemplus S.C.A. merged with Gemplus Associates, a general partner, to form joint stock company Gemplus S.A. In 2000 it was reorganized and a new holding company emerged -- Gemplus International S.A.
In December 2000 Gemplus International went public and was listed on Euronext Paris and NASDAQ. In June 2006 it merged with Axalto to form Gemalto, with the goal of being a leading provider of digital security solutions. The new company focused on three areas: mobile telecommunications, secure transactions, and security, particularly for administrations and networks (cloud computing).
Business model of Gemalto
Gemalto has a segmented market business model, with customer groups that have slightly different needs. The company targets its offerings at businesses and governments.
Gemalto offers three primary value propositions: performance, risk reduction, and brand/status.
The company demonstrates strong performance through tangible results. Specific examples of positive outcomes for clients include the following:
Fraser Health Authority utilized Gemalto's authentication solution, IDPrime smart cards, for its healthcare staff, resulting in increased patient satisfaction and a 20% reduction in support costs
British Sky Broadcasting Group used Gemalto's IDPrime.NET Converged Badge solution for 4,000 users, resulting in reduced costs and increased security
AXA Technology Services used Gemalto's authentication solutions to strengthen overall IT security by reducing password sharing, badge swapping, and network attacks
The company reduces risk by maintaining high safety and security standards, as follows:
Its solutions utilize multi-factor authentication, making logging in more secure
Its hardware security modules provide strong encryption, authentication, decryption, and digital signing services for a broad range of applications
It maintains a centralized organization that focuses on the prevention of cyber security risks, called the Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT)
The company has established a strong brand due to its success. It is the world's largest producer of SIM cards. It generated €3.1 billion in revenues in 2015. It has over 14,000 employees operating out of 118 offices in 49 countries.
It serves over 30,000 organizations in over 180 countries, and they include many prominent companies, such as Amazon Web Services, Verizon, Audi, and China Telecom. Its survey of customers in 2015 indicated that 86% of them were "satisfied" or "very satisfied" with its service. Lastly, it has won a number of honors, including the following:
The Cybersecurity Excellence Award for Best Multi-Factor Authentication Solution from the LinkedIn Information Security Community
Recognition as "Best Identity Management Platform" at the GSN Homeland Security Awards
Recognition as the world's number one supplier of contactless and mobile solutions for public transportation by three market research firms (ABI Research, Juniper Research, and IHS)
The Digital Payments Award from Juniper Research for Digital Payments
The Frost & Sullivan Customer Value Leadership Award for Border Control and Biometrics
Gemalto's main channel is its direct sales team. It also utilizes resellers and distributors to sell its products. The company promotes its offerings through its website, social media pages, and participation in summits, exhibitions, and conferences.
Gemalto's customer relationship is primarily of a self-service, automated nature. Customers utilize the service through the main platform while having limited interaction with employees.
The company's website provides answers to frequently asked questions. It also provides access to an e-mail newsletter featuring product updates and industry trends; access to "Digital Security in Action", an online magazine featuring articles about innovations; and access to print magazine "The Review", which discusses trends in the mobile, payment, public sector, IT security, and M2M categories.
Despite this orientation, there is a personal assistance component. Gemalto offers general phone and e-mail support. It also provides over 50 courses on digital security and communication technologies. The classes can be taken at public locations or conducted privately at company sites.
Gemalto's business model entails designing, developing, and producing its products for customers.
Gemalto maintains the Gemalto Partner Network, which includes four types of organizations:
Business Partners - Firms that promote and resell Gemalto products and solutions. Specific partners include Microsoft, IBM, Citrix, and Open Trust.
Technology Partners - Firms that develop products (software and/or hardware) that complement Gemalto's solutions. Gemalto ensures the products work together and co-markets them.
Solutions Partners - Firms that use Gemalto's development tools and reference designs to develop solutions. Gemalto markets these solutions to its clients and may resell them in some cases.
Original Equipment Manufacturers – Firms that embed and resell Gemalto's technologies in their products with their own branding.
Benefits provided to partners include the following:
Sales and technical training
Marketing and pre-sales support
Access to an online CRM
Gemalto's main resources are its human resources, who include the over 3,000 engineers it employs to design and develop its products, the sales staff members that promote the offerings, the training staff members that provide instruction, and the customer service personnel that provide support.
It also maintains important physical resources in the form of 45 personalization and data centers, 27 research and software development centers, and 17 production facilities located worldwide. Lastly, it places a high priority on its intellectual property, and filed applications for 107 new patents in 2015.
Gemalto has a cost-driven structure, aiming to minimize expenses through significant automation. Its biggest cost driver is likely cost of products, a variable expense. Other major drivers are in the areas of sales/marketing and research/development, both fixed costs.
Gemalto has two revenue streams: revenues it generates from sales of its products/solutions and revenues it generates from sales of its professional services such as training.

The rules of the road have changed over the years - is your knowledge is up to scratch?
IT MAY have been years since you first took a driving theory test - and it can be difficult to keep up with all of the amendments and additions to the rules.
However, they've been put in place for all road users' safety, so test yourself to see how much you really remember.
Ignorance is no excuse in the eyes of the law, but with less than a quarter of all drivers revising the Highway Code after passing their theory test, it's clear that most of us need to brush up on our knowledge.
Despite first being published in 1931, the Highway Code is still as important today as it was then.
With over 300 different rules it can be tricky to learn them all, but it's easy to see why standards need to be kept high.
It's not the easiest, so you probably won't score full marks, but why not challenge your mates to beat you?
There are Facebook and Twitter share buttons at the end of the quiz.
Looking for more quiz action? See if you can tell what these dashboard icons mean. It's tough!
Alternatively, see if you know the difference between these real and fake road signs. That's REALLY tough.
Classic car fan? Only real motorheads will recognise these models from the 1980s. Give it a go.

Evonik aims to generate additional sales of at least €350 million by 2030 with solutions for circular plastics
Evonik is pooling its activities for circular plastics in a global program. As part of the transition to a circular economy, the company offers its customers solutions for all stages in the polymer value chain.
Company pools its circular plastics activities in push towards more sustainable solutions
Extensive solutions for recycling technologies keep raw materials in loop
Evonik cooperates closely with partners along the value chain
Essen, Germany. Evonik is pooling its activities for circular plastics in a global program. As part of the transition to a circular economy, the company offers its customers solutions for all stages in the polymer value chain. Additives and technologies from Evonik make mechanical and chemical recycling more efficient thus improving the availability of circular plastics. Evonik will also increase the use of sustainable raw materials from circular sources in its own production processes. Overall, the company expects its global circular plastics program to generate additional sales of more than €350 million a year by 2030.
"The careful use of resources and protection of the climate leads us down the path towards a circular economy," said Harald Schwager, deputy chairman of Evonik's executive board, who is responsible for innovation. "We have the innovative capability to create new materials cycles with fewer fossil-based feedstocks and more circular ones. We intend to utilize that potential."
More than 350 million metric tons of plastics are produced worldwide every year. However, only a small fraction of that amount is recycled. Evonik can facilitate the transformation to a circular economy for sustainable plastics applications with its additives and solutions, and that at competitive cost and quality.
"We are working closely with partners along the entire polymer value chain to make this happen," said Lauren Kjeldsen, who is responsible for Evonik's global circular plastics program. "Innovations are the key to success."
Interview with Lauren Kjeldsen, Evonik Industries AG, about Evonik's Circular Plastics Program
In mechanical recycling, plastics are sorted, prepared and washed, before being melted and granulated into a recyclate. This procedure is used mainly for thermoplastics and in a similar process for old tires. Evonik experts are working to help recyclers significantly improve the efficiency and quality of the processes. For example, customized surfactants are used to make sure labels can be removed quickly without leaving residues, while defoamers simplify washing processes and dewatering agents save energy and time in subsequent drying. Another focus is minimizing the odor of the recyclate. Specialty additives from Evonik can increase the amount of high-quality re-usable recyclate obtained by about 5 percent. Evonik aims to offer such solutions for about 400,000 metric tons of recyclable plastics by 2025.
Evonik is also working on various chemical recycling technologies for plastic waste that cannot be recycled mechanically. Here, the polymer chains are split to obtain building blocks for the production of new plastics. For example, Evonik is currently developing a process to facilitate recycling of heavily contaminated polyethylene terephthalate (PET) waste. New molecules for high-end applications can be obtained via methanolysis.
Another method of chemical recycling is controlled incineration of plastic waste to produce pyrolysis oils or synthesis gases. Evonik offers modern technologies that play a part in making these processes more efficient. Examples are additives, catalysts, and membranes for the treatment of gas. These pyrolysis oils and synthesis gases can be used as raw materials for the production of plastics.
All of these processes have one thing in common: The goal is to replace fossil-based resources such as oil wherever possible, avoid waste, and minimize carbon dioxide emissions.
Evonik is one of the world leaders in specialty chemicals. The company is active in more than 100 countries around the world and generated sales of €12.2 billion and an operating profit (adjusted EBITDA) of €1.91 billion in 2020. Evonik goes far beyond chemistry to create innovative, profitable and sustainable solutions for customers. More than 33,000 employees work together for a common purpose: We want to improve life today and tomorrow.


This summer I'm taking one class, Organizational Theory, and doing an independent reading credit with my advisor. My first writing assignment is already due tomorrow (summer classes go fast!). To be honest, it feels good to write for a class again and Org Theory is one of the classes I am most excited to take while I'm in graduate school. I know I know: #edugeek. And proud of it.
Educational Organizations as Loosely Coupled Systems, by Karl E. Weick.
Prior to the readings this week, I already associated the phrase "loose coupling" with Karl Weick, but had not read much about it. After the readings this week and last, I have a better idea both what is meant by it, its origins, and its application to the current state of public K-12 education. What I find most compelling is the way a term, meant to be descriptive of organizations, was taken up as negative and used to push remedies (as described in Firestone, 2015), perhaps without full consideration of whether it was actually a bad thing to begin with.
Weick, like organizational theorists before him, are attempting to describe what happens in organizations and predict outcomes based on actions. Rational descriptions and theories, predominant at the time, of how organizations function were incomplete and didn't help people make sense of their experiences. The idea of "loose coupling" was meant to describe a mechanism by which we can understand "events that are responsive, but that each event also preserves its own identity and some evidence of its physical and logical separateness." (p. 3) In other words, things happen that have a relation to each other, but it is not necessarily straightforward and logical in the way that can be rationalized. I see this as similar to thinking about multiple variables or systems thinking.
Educational organizations have a long track record of interventions or reforms that don't go as planned. Loose coupling helps explain that, since we tend to plan with the assumption that what our intentions are going to have certain results, but if the elements are not rationally connected in reality, it doesn't work.
To me, the most interesting of these is the benefit of localized adaptation. This allows teachers to adapt their instruction and the environment of their classroom to the needs of their individual students, but this has been much reduced with the movement towards standards and accountability. Firestone (2015) elaborates on this, describing the accountability movement as largely aimed at reducing the problems of loose coupling. I find it ironic that even as testing and sanctions have been applied to reduce the loose coupling, they themselves have not been as effective as hoped, as the policies were rationally designed and applied to a loosely coupled system, perhaps without full understanding of the system itself. To me, this leads to two conclusions: one, you have to focus on the people in the organization and how they learn, not just doing interventions to them, and two, you have to pay attention to context.
I think this is what I like so much about design-based research, in which feedback on the design is integral to the process, and what I like about the Networked Improvement Communities (Bryk, Gomez, Grunow, and LeMahieu, 2015), where feedback is gathered early and often, doing small testing in context and reducing variation in implementation by paying attention to what works when and where, rather than assuming something that is well designed will work. NICs also use root cause analyses to elucidate variables that contribute to the problem and then focus action on those variables and measure results. I can see now that this is essentially a strategy for improving interventions in a loosely coupled system. In some ways, you don't have to know the mechanism for why the improvement works if you have measurements to show that it does and pay attention to context.
Also interesting is Weick's sixth point that loose coupling may allow individual actors more self-determination, giving them autonomy and agency over their work, thereby a sense of professionalism and internal motivation. Again, Firestone's article helps put this in relief, where this was good and bad: teachers want the autonomy but also feel isolated. Thus, teachers might want the movement towards "professional learning communities" or other programs that provide resources for collaboration and break down the silos of individual classrooms, but this comes along with threats to professionalism. Can you have both collaboration and individual agency? I think so, but perhaps not in the traditional school set up.
Firestone concludes that after 40 years of tightening the system, it isn't working, except in exceptional cases. So my questions is then, is whether loose coupling, this idea that Weick wrote about 40 years ago, is actually helpful in the goals of educational research to understand organizations, predict how they will react, and thus shape them? Meyer and Rowan (1977) go into more depth why systems decouple as a result of the conflict between categorical rules and efficiency: "Thus, decoupling enables organizations to maintain standardized, legitimating, formal structures while their activities vary in response to practical considerations." (p.357) Maybe loose coupling allows us insight into why things are the way they are, but is the theoretical construct of loose coupling really valuable if the practical considerations ultimately have more control over what actually happens?

Nigerian Catholics to rally as herdsman keep slaughtering Christians
President Buhari perceived as doing little to stop violence as another Catholic church attacked
By La Croix International staff | Nigeria
The Catholic Bishops' Conference of Nigeria plans to stage a day of protest across the country on May 22 as attacks by nomadic Muslim Fulani herdsman continue unabated with the latest being an explosion at the Holy Cross Catholic parish in Enugu-East Local Government Area.
That incident occurred at about 5:40 a.m., just before 6 a.m. Sunday Mass on May 13.
Father Emmanuel Okwor the parish priest said it was providential that the explosion did not happen at the time worshippers filled church, Vanguard reported.
Catholic Bishop Callistus Onaga of Enugu has urged the government and security forces to do something fast.
Suspected herdsmen on April 24 attacked St. Ignatius Catholic Church, Ukpor-mbalom parish, Gwer East Local Government Area of Benue, killing two priests and 17 parishioners.
That attack came barely four days after the murder of 10 persons by herdsmen in neighboring Guma Local Government Area.
The bishops' conference said the protests would coincide with the burial of the priests and parishioners killed by herdsmen during a morning Mass at Gwer East Local Government Area of Benue State.
The May 13 announcement was made by the bishops in the Sunday Bulletin of the church and circulated to all the dioceses, the report said.
The announcement, entitled "Peaceful Demonstration," said the conference "has directed that every diocese in Nigeria should organize a peaceful demonstration/rally against the barbaric but intolerable killing of two priests and 17 others by herdsmen last month.
"Details of how this all important solidarity action will take place in our dioceses will be communicated through the parish priests. Every Christian and all men and women of goodwill are hereby called to participate," it said.
The Catholic Archdiocese of Lagos has already made plans to hold a requiem Mass for the two slain priests on May 22, Vanguard reported.
According to a source close to the archdiocese, the Mass will be celebrated at St. Leo Catholic Church, Ikeja, by 10.00 a.m. and immediately following the Mass, there will be a peaceful procession from the church to the Lagos State Governor's Office at Alausa, Ikeja.
Archbishop Alfred Adewale Martins of Lagos, described the "atrocious terrorist attacks" as "one of the ugly incidences that call our attention to the insecurity in the country and the failure on the part of the government to ensure the security of lives and properties of its citizens."
Several hundred Christians have been killed this year alone, including two attacks in April that yielded respective death tolls of 19 and 39.
Media reports that frustration boils over at President Muhammadu Buhari for not doing more to address the issue.
Buhari shares a common ethnic background to some of the tribesmen.

Q: C# use of new to instantiate an object From my experience of C++, I know that in C, objects declared as ClassName ObjectName; are stored on the stack, and objects declared as ClassName ObjectName = new ClassName; are stored on the heap.
In C#, I seem to be being told from everywhere that the new keyword must be used, i.e. you cannot initialize an object like ClassName ObjectName; i.e.
Product P;
P.someMethod();

Why is this?

A: I'll answer my own question for the sake of pulling the info together for clarity.
A combination of mohits00691 and Jon Skeet's answers clears this up. Even though P is declared as a type of Product, it has no default value and is not instantiated until it is set with "= new Product".
This differs from C++, where Product P would instantiate an object of class Product.

A: In C# class Objects and any values in the objects will always be stored on the heap. The new key word allocates memory on the heap for the object and any values it has, and returns the reference to its location. Until this is done you should not be able to work with the object functions.
so in example:
Product P = new Product();

p is actually a reference to the allocated object. An object can have multiple references to the same object.
Product C = P;

In the case C does not copy P, but it copies the reference to the object.
Structs work differently than objects since they are allocated on the stack. This means the same operation as above will actually copy the struct and allocate new memory for it on the stack.

A: as far i know, code like :
Product p;
p.someFunction();

will throw an error while compiling only : "Unassigned Local variable". So you need to give value to every variable, be it reference type or value type, before using it in C#.

The Chiness Shar-Pei was listed in the 1978 "GUINESS BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS" as the worlds rarest dog. The Shar-pei is certainly one of the world`s most extraordinary dogs.
Difference of opinion, or lack of concrete evidence often complicated the history of the origin and development of our breeds. In the case of the Shar-pei no such problems occur: Everyone agrees that the Shar-pei has existed for centuries in the southern provinces of China, bordering on the South China Sea. Over two thousand years ago this was the all-purpose, generalutility dog kept by the peasant farmers of the area. The Shar-pei was used for hunting or to protect the livestock from predators, but most of all he served as guardian of his master`s home. He was selectively bred for strength, for intelligence and for the valued "Warrior Scrowl" that would increase his menacing appearance and help intimidate the barbarian thieves, against whom the farmers were always at war.
While the Shar-pei`s original purpose was for use as hunting dogs, because of their strength and appearance, these dogs were introduced to a combat role at a later time in history. The village of Dahlet, in Southern China`s Kwantung province near Canton, was at one time known as a Gambler`s Haven. Betting on dog fights was a popular pastime and the farm dog became a favourite contestant. Dahlet dog breeders anxious to improve the dog`s ability in the ring set out to perfect some of the main characteristics we know today.
The bristly coat was encouraged to make it distastefull in an opponent`s mouth: the very loose skin to enable a dog to turn and twist in the grasp of his opponent: the recurved canine teeth to provide a hook like hold on the antagonist and small ears so that the attacker had little to hold on to. He possessed stamina and determination, but before a fight he was given wine and stimulating drugs to heighten his aggressiveness. Eventually fight promoters introduced larger dogs which were selected for vicious temperament. The native fighting dog of Dahlet provided no match for these bigger stronger dogs, no longer in demand their breeding was neglected and the numbers of the Dahlet fighting dogs rapidly decreased.

Oldest Synagogue in Bulgaria Vandalized With Anti-Zionist Slogans Urging Destruction of Israel
by Algemeiner Staff
Anti-Zionist slogans on the gate of the Zion Synagogue in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. Photo: Screenshot.
The oldest still-operating synagogue in Bulgaria was vandalized with antisemitic and anti-Zionist graffiti earlier this week, to the great shock of the Balkan nation's Jewish community.
Slogans reading "Free Palestine" and "Israel = Nazis" were daubed on the gates to the Zion Synagogue in the city of Plovdiv alongside an anarchist symbol and the words "Antifa Bulgaria."
In a statement, Shalom — the communal organization representing Bulgarian Jews — called for the "perpetrators of the vandalism to be found and punished appropriately."
The group underlined that the messages conveyed by the vandalism were antisemitic under the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of the problem, which has been adopted by the Bulgarian government along with dozens of other nations, including the US. The IHRA definition makes clear that certain attacks on the State of Israel — such as comparing the Jewish state with Nazi Germany or advocating its elimination — are rooted in hatred of Jews.
Built in 1886-1887 and expanded in 1922, the Zion Synagogue in Plovdiv was constructed on what is believed to have been the site of an earlier synagogue dating from the early 18th century. The synagogue underwent a further modernization 15 years ago that was partly funded by the US government.

Smart Communications new All-in Plan combines the features of their Consumable, Unlimited and Data Plans. Is there any reason to consider the Data plans even if you plan to get one for data use? After all, you can now bundle in Unlimited data with the All-in plan.
All-in Plans. With the All-in Plans you can select a monthly plan, from P500 to P3500 and use it as a consumable plan paying for each service that you utilize or subscribed to the unlimited voice or text, or data services.
Each month you can reconfigure the services you subscribe too. This is similar to Globe My Super Plans. The main difference is that with Globe you add-on to a plan, and the add-on are not considered in the free bundled phone. With Smart you use your existing plan to buy the add-ons. Basically, this means for the same amount of money every month, Smart Communications will provide you a better phone.
Is this plan better than Smart's Consumable and Data plans. No, there is a bit of a catch. It suffers the same "weakness" as Globe My Super Plans: Off network calls are more expensive.
All-in v. Data Plans. With a data plan you get unlimited data and a allocated amount of calls and texts to all networks.
150 minutes of calls to all networks. Calls over 60 minutes at Php5.09 for Smart-to-Smart Calls and Php6.11 for calls to other networks.
200 SMS to all networks. SMS over 200 a Php0.51 per SMS.
As you move on the the higher plans you get more bundled minutes and SMS, and the rates for minutes above the "free" minutes goes down with the higher plans.
With the All-in plans, calls to other networks are charged at Php7.50 per minute regardless of the plan you get.
If you make a lot of calls outside the Smart network, to Globe or Sun users, you would probably be better off with a Data plan. Well, at least at a usage of about Php2,000 a month.
If most of your calls are within the Smart network, you are probably better off with an All-in plan, especially since you can bundle unlimited Smart-to-Smart calls for Php500 per month.

Omicron vaccine warning is triggering fresh global selloff
There was a fall in world share markets and a shift to safer currencies and bonds on Tuesday after the CEO of drugmaker Moderna has warned that Covid-19 vaccines are unlikely to be as effective against the new Omicron variant. Europe's main bourses jolted nearly 1% lower, oil shed 3%, Australia's currency which is highly sensitive to global economic confidence hit a year low while Japan's safe-haven yen, the German government bonds and gold all rose.
"There is no world, I think, where (the effectiveness) is the same level," Moderna's chief Stéphane Bancel told the Financial Times in an interview.
"I think it's going to be a material drop. I just don't know how much because we need to wait for the data. But all the scientists I've talked to . . . are like 'this is not going to be good'," Bancel said.
The early tumbles meant Europe's equity markets scratched off Monday's rebound and were below the levels hit on Friday when traders wiped roughly $2 trillion off global stocks in the initial Omicron rout.
Bancel had earlier said on CNBC that there should be more clarity on the efficacy of Covid-19 vaccines against Omicron in about two weeks, but that it could take months to begin shipping a reworked vaccine designed for the new variant.
"It's not good news, and it's coming from someone who should know," said Commonwealth Bank of Australia currency strategist Joe Capurso. "Markets have reacted in exactly the way you'd expect them to."
MSCI's broadest global equities index which tracks 50 countries was 0.2% lower and heading for only its third red month of the year. It has risen nearly 14% in 2021 whereas emerging market stocks have lost nearly 6%.
It has been even harder for Europe's travel and leisure stocks. Worries that holidays will have to be cancelled again have seen them lose over 20% this month, which is the biggest monthly fall since the initial Covid-19 panic in March 2020.
Risk aversion was also hitting the currency markets with the U.S. dollar weakening 0.5% versus its main rivals. The Aussie dollar's overnight slide of 0.65% scored its 12-month low of $0.7093 whereas the Japanese yen - traditionally viewed as safe harbour due to its role as a funding currency - was near its highest level of the month at 112.98 yen.

St Peter's School History
St Peter's School was blessed and opened in January 1970 by Bishop Francis Carroll.
It was the first school in the diocese to open with all lay staff.
It is situated on 6.5 acres of land in what was a pine forest.
In the opening year in 1970 the enrolment was 68 children.
Over 600 children have attended St Peter's since its opening.
15 women and men have held the position of principal ranging in tenure from 1 to 14 years.
Over 50 teachers have taught at St Peter's since its opening.
The first Parish Priest was Fr Peter O'Leary and Sunday Masses were held in the upstairs classroom until the church was built in 1982.
Depending on enrolment numbers the children have been grouped 3 or 4 classes in a range of configurations.
Enrolment numbers have fluctuated between 45 and 105 over the past 46 years.
In 1997 the school underwent a major refurbishment where all classrooms were updated and the administration area moved to downstairs.
A multipurpose room was built in 2003 and has been used for a variety of activities most recently as a Creative Arts Room.
In 2006 a Covered Outdoor Learning Area was erected to provide refuge from the heat and rain as well as an outdoor learning area.
In 2009/2010, a new building was built on the 'octopus' oval housing all administration areas and a new library. The original school building was refurbished and now contains two large classrooms with an 'operable' wall between as well as a storeroom on each floor. The four spacious classrooms are equipped with Interactive Whiteboards to enhance the education of the students at St. Peter's School.
In 2017 all children in Yr 2 to Year 6 were provided with a Chromebook for their use for the year. iPads are in use by the K/1 class for a variety of tasks.
