Q: replace space with dash in Zend?     if ($settings->getSetting('que_tags', 0)) {
        $this->addElement('Text', 'qtags', array(
            'label' => Zend_Registry::get('Zend_Translate')->_('Tags'),
            'autocomplete' => 'on',
            'description' => Zend_Registry::get('Zend_Translate')->_('Use commas to separate tags.'),
            'allowEmpty' => false,
            'filters' => array('StringTrim', 'StringToLower', new Engine_Filter_Censor()),
        ));

I would like to change this:
"United Kingdom" to "united-kingdom".
I was able to insert StringToLower on the code but when I added SeparatorToDash, it didn't work.
Is there a simple way to make the change happen by just adding/inserting a line to the code above?

A: Zend delivers such filter out of the box, the class is called Zend_Filter_Word_SeparatorToDash:
$form = new Zend_Form_Element('test');
$form->addFilter(new \Zend_Filter_Word_SeparatorToDash());
$form->setValue('United Kingdom united kingdom');
var_dump($form->getValue()); // United-Kingdom-united-kingdom

More advanced filtering might require creating filter class from scratch or as an alternative you can always use Zend_Filter_Callback:
$form = new Zend_Form_Element('test');
$form->addFilter(
    new \Zend_Filter_Callback(
        function ($value) {
            return str_replace(' ', '-', strtolower($value));
        }
    )
);
$form->setValue('United Kingdom united kingdom');
var_dump($form->getValue()); // united-kingdom-united-kingdom

For more filters can check zend filter folder, there is quite a lot of them.

Calf implants help strengthen the size and definition of the lower leg, and correct visible calf deformation or imbalance.
Board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Markmann, performs calf augmentation procedures in the Baltimore area. With a variety of shapes and sizes, the solid yet flexible silicone implants fit the natural contours of the lower leg. Patients have more confidence after calf augmentation surgery because their legs have a more muscular and defined shape. This procedure is most popular among body builders who want more defined calves.
A common method used during this procedure places a silicone implant through a small incision made behind the knee. The implant is positioned into a pocket surgically created within the calf muscle. Depending on the desired result, a second implant may be placed alongside the first to give the calf greater shape. Surgical sutures close the skin. Following surgery, the implant will become enclosed by scar tissue. This is a natural implant process and helps the device stay intact so it can remain in place for years.
Calf augmentation is an outpatient procedure performed under general anesthesia at an accredited surgical facility. The entire surgery typically takes about an hour per leg to complete. Patients will be released from the hospital and instructed to use crutches for a given period of time.
Most individuals can resume normal activities within 6-12 days.
Regular exercise can resume following surgeon release, which is often between 4-8 weeks. Most patients are pleased with their results and feel they have a stronger, more balanced lower body.

Q: Получения указателя на свойство в объекте, для изменения его атррибута Есть класс генератор, поставляющий экземпляры произвольных классов, предварительно меняя значении , согласно настройкам их полей. Настройки хранятся в аттрибутах.
 public class Generator<T> where T: new()
    {
       public T Generate(Random rnd)
        {... return value;}

    }

    public class T1
    {
       [FromDistribution(typeof(NormalDistribution), 1, 2)]
        public double A { get; set; }

       [FromDistribution(typeof(ExponentialDistribution), 4)]
       [DisplayName("B-value")]
        public double B { get; set; }
    }

Проблема в том что генератор должен поддерживать возможность смены настроек по API
  var newBDistr = new NormalDistribution(1, 1);
            var generator = new Generator<T1>()
                .For(z => z.A)
                .Set(newADistr)
                .For(z => z.B)
                .Set(newBDistr);

Предполагал реализовать селектор(FOR) такой сигнатуры
  public Generator<T> For(Func<T, object> function)
        {...}

Но в таком формате на выход "functon" приходит double как задано в описании класса T2 что не позволяет определить какое поле должно быть модифицированно в Set.
Очевидно подход не подходит. Но более корректный , не нарушающий api придумать не могу.
Буду благодарен за идеи.

A: Как итог. Сигнатура
Expression <Func<T, object>> и  Func<T, object>

одинаковая. Оба можно передавать в метод как LINQ.
Для z => z.A название поля можно получить серией кастов :
ISmth For(Expression<Func<T, object>> function)
        {
            var expression = function.Body;
            var unaryExpression = (UnaryExpression)expression;
            var memberExpression = (MemberExpression)unaryExpression.Operand;
            var name =  memberExpression.Member.Name;

            operandName = name;

            return ISmth;
        }


This. Sounds. So. Intense. :D GIMME GIMME GIMME NOW!
this sounds amazing, definitely need this in my life!
This one sounds so very creepy and interesting. I can't wait to read it.
Oh wow. This sounds awesome!! Defo adding this to my TBR shelf!

Q: How do I run a function when TabView tab is changed I've tried many different ways but none of them work, and im getting this error when I try to add .onChange
Instance method 'onChange(of:perform:)' requires that 'Binding<Int>' conform to 'Equatable'

I defined currentTab like this
@State var currentTab = 0;

This code gives the error
.onChange(of: $currentTab, perform: { newValue in
    print(newValue)
})

A: The onChange modifier requires value of state, not binding, so just remove $, like
.onChange(of: currentTab) { newValue in
    print(newValue)
}

A: for the onChange to work you need to do a bit more than just slapping a onChange, you need to include the appropriate tags, like this example
struct ContentView: View {
    @State var value: Int = 1

    var body: some View {
        TabView(selection: $value) {
            Text("View One").tabItem { Text("One") }.tag(1)
            Text("View Two").tabItem { Text("Two") }.tag(2)
            Text("View Three").tabItem {Text("Three") }.tag(3)
        }
        .onChange(of: value) { val in
            print("---> val: \(val)")
        }
    }
}

Note: the tag type should match the "value" type.

Arsenal given huge new striker transfer boost as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang decision is taken
The Gunners could look to add a striker to their ranks this January transfer window, with Real Sociedad star Alexander Isak linked to north London
As the January transfer window opens make sure you don't miss a single Arsenal transfer update by signing up to the free newsletter
As Gabriel Martinelli burst through on goal in the 15th minute against Manchester City there was one thing that was painfully absent from the Arsenal attack.
Alexandre Lacazette had dropped deep in attempt to receive the ball off Thomas Partey, but unable to keep up with pace of his teammates, couldn't get forward to offer the Brazilian a passing option.
It's impossible to say if Martinelli would have in fact passed the ball – Martin Odegaard was an option in the middle and the 20-year-old still went for goal – but in the space of that one attack both the strengths and the weaknesses of the Gunners attack were perfectly demonstrated.
In Lacazette, Arsenal have a striker whose excellent link up play has been so outstanding in recent weeks that Martinelli, Odegaard, Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe have all flourished around him in recent weeks.
But they also have an attacker whose lack of mobility means that they are unable to capitalise on many of the offensive opportunities they create.
This should not be mistaken as a slight on the Frenchman, who has been immense in the Gunners recent run of form.
It is, however, a limitation that the club are keen to fix.
This is made difficult though by the fact that they currently have five centre forwards on their books, none of whom seem to possess all the qualities Mikel Arteta wants in a striker.
Read More 👉 Arsenal 'in contact' with Liverpool target as star confirms transfer will go ahead
As already outlined, Lacazette lacks the mobility to get on the end of chances, while Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's strengths lie running in behind rather than dropping deep to create them.
Martinelli, meanwhile, seems to be at his best on the left wing, while Flo Balogun is still too raw to be considered a regular first team option at the moment and Eddie Nketiah seems set to leave the club either in January or when his contract expires this summer.
This means that Arsenal are on the look out for the centre forward in the transfer market, and with the decision having been taken to exile Aubameyang from the squad after stripping him of the captaincy, it appears there could be space in the squad to go out and get one.
One of the players they have been linked to is Real Sociedad's Alexander Isak.
The 22-year-old Swedish international is reportedly subject of interest from the Gunners as well as Spanish giants Barcelona.
However, Arsenal have been given the upper hand in the race to sign him by the fact that Sociedad – where former left back Nacho Monreal currently plies his trade – don't want to sell their star striker to a rival for La Liga's top four this season according to reports from El Nacional.
Looking at Isak it is easy to see why the Gunners might be interested.
His young age means he would fall into the club's transfer policy of recruiting players under 23 that was implemented by Edu and Josh Kroenke over the summer as Arsenal seek to build a team capable of challenging for the very biggest trophies over the next few years.
Read More 👉 Arsenal offer £45m plus Lucas Torreira for Fiorentina striker Dusan Vlahovic
The Swede also possesses the ability to drop deep and link the play while having the pace and mobility to run forward and get on the end of chances that the Gunners' exciting inside forwards create.
Of course, for someone so young there are still weak points to Isak's game that he would need to work on.
At times his first touch can be a little loose and with the increased pace of the Premier League compared to La Liga, any mistakes are likely to be punished far more harshly.
On top of that, his release clause is said to be worth around £75million which would make signing him a risk for Arsenal, even if he does have elite level potential.
But as the Gunners prepare to move on from forwards in Aubameyang and Lacazette who have defined their front line for nearly half a decade now, it seems that a player like Isak could be the final missing piece to Arteta's attacking jigsaw at the Emirates Stadium.

Woman drowns rabid raccoon in mud puddle
Jason Weisberger 8:04 am Fri Jun 16, 2017
Attacked by a rabid raccoon and looking to her phone for answers, Rachel Borch noticed she'd dropped her cellular device near a puddle. Thinking that a drowning might stop the animal, Borch held it under until it was dead, dead, dead. Fear took over, and Borch ran home.
Citing her vegetarianism as a defense, Borch is certain to go free:
"If there hadn't been water on the ground, I don't know what I would have done," Borch said of drowning the animal. "It really was just dumb luck. I've never killed an animal with my bare hands. I'm a vegetarian. It was self-defense."
Her advice for others who find themselves facing a rabid animal? Borch said she has none.
"I always thought of raccoons as this cute, cuddly forest animal," she said. "I just will never look at them the same way."

Expo 2020 Dubai outlines business opportunities at Sydney forum
SYDNEY, September 20, 2017
The lasting benefits of working with Expo 2020 Dubai will be outlined at a gathering of more than 1,000 delegates from 110 countries at the World Chambers Congress in Australia this week.
The Congress, which takes place in Sydney from September 19-21 and is attended by government and corporate leaders as well as heads of Chambers of Commerce, offers representatives from around the world the opportunity to connect or strengthen already existing business relations.
A team from Expo 2020 Dubai is attending the Congress to highlight to both Australian and international businesses the opportunities offered by the first World Expo to be held in the Middle East, Africa and South Asia (MEASA) region, both in its build-up, during the Expo, and in legacy.
Expo 2020 will be a gateway into new markets for all businesses, offering them the chance to develop relationships with more than 200 participants including nations, multilateral organisations, corporations and educational institutions, as well as millions of visitors – echoing Expo's theme of 'Connecting Minds, Creating the Future'.
During the Congress, the Expo team, in collaboration with the Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry, will hold an informative session for delegates, organise side meetings with the business community and host an exhibition stand to engage attendees and promote awareness.
The session will outline the wide range of opportunities available to businesses within the Expo 2020 Dubai supply chain, such as those for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Australia and around the world.
Manal AlBayat, senior vice president, Business Development and Integration, Expo 2020 Dubai, said: "We want companies of all sizes from Australia and around the world to recognise not only the opportunities available to them at Expo 2020 Dubai, but also to be aware of the important role they can play in supporting Expo to deliver a celebration of ingenuity that leaves a lasting legacy for years to come.
"Events like the World Chambers Congress are an important step in engaging key figures in the international business community and highlighting the opportunities available to them, as well as the long-term benefits they will offer."
Expo 2020 Dubai representatives will also give an overview of the Expo Live programme, which was publicly launched in January following a pilot phase last year.
Expo Live has an allocation of $100 million to support projects that offer creative solutions to pressing challenges that impact people's lives or help preserve our world – or both. Winning projects receive a support grant, business guidance, promotion and acceleration of their creative solutions, and will have the opportunity to showcase their work at Expo 2020 Dubai.
They will also present the exciting District 2020 legacy plans, which will see the Expo site become a new urban experience that will accommodate the newest trends of modern living, blending work and recreation.
District 2020 will include 65,000-sq-m of residential space and 135,000-sq-m of commercial space in a location that will be home to world-class innovation, educational, cultural and entertainment facilities, as well as a conference and exhibition centre.
More than 200 participants including nations, multilateral organisations, corporations and educational institutions are expected to take part in Expo 2020 Dubai, offering businesses, including SMEs, a unique global platform to win investment, forge agreements and promote international cooperation.
Expo 2020 Dubai is committed to integrating SMEs and tapping into their innovation and agility, with 20 percent of Expo's budget dedicated to them, reinforcing the UAE's plans to support long-term SME growth and stimulate economic diversification.
SMEs make a vital contribution to the Australian economy, contributing about one-third of total GDP, employing approximately 4.7 million people, and representing about 90 percent of all goods exporters and more than 60 per cent of services exporters.
This year alone, a total of Dh11.5 billion ($3.1billion) of Expo contracts will be awarded and SMEs will continue to be a priority. To date, these businesses have won a total of 1,028 contracts with Expo.
Expo 2020 Dubai will run from October 20, 2020 to April 10, 2021 and attract many millions of visitors from around the world, giving businesses the chance to promote themselves and their products to a multinational audience of millions. - TradeArabia News Service

Q: How to use the Contrast package in R? I have a data set to which I am attempting to fit a single, fixed factor Anova model.

I was trying to use the contrast function from the contrast package to get a contrast for mu_1+mu_3=mu_2+mu4.
Here is the fitted model I have so far with the contrast function I tried using
fit4=lm(weight~pop)
contrast(fit4, list(pop=as.factor(c(1:3)),list(pop=as.factor(c(2:4)))))

But I end up with more then one output, which is not what I am supposed to get. I think it's doing two separate contrasts rather then a single one.

Whack an object or two, and at the same time improve your reaction and judgment through the peaceful version of Whack a Kenny! Your goal in this game is to spot and hit the object which is different from the others. When the game starts, 3 objects will randomly emerge from the 9 holes on the ground. A ball is placed on each of the objects, and a letter, a number or a shape is drawn on each ball. You need to pick the odd object and click to whack it, for example, when three circles are shown on the balls but one of them is in blue color while the other two are red, you need to click and hit the blue one. Note that the differences may vary in terms of shapes, colors and positions. If you have picked the correct object, a circle will appear and a score will be awarded based on your reaction time. A cross will mark your wrong answers if necessary, but you may still continue to play until all 20 rounds are finished. Spot as many differences as you can to vent your pressure!

A demotion doesn't have to be demoralizing

One day out of the blue, your boss calls you into his office and says that you've been "reclassified." You have no idea what it means, but it sounds exciting. One thing is certain: You weren't canned. Maybe it's a new job, more power, and yes, a bigger paycheck.
Sorry, it's none of the above.
"Reclassification" means that you've been demoted. It's not a new term, but it's one companies use to alter and soften the truth. It reportedly originated in Silicon Valley (where else?) over a decade ago, when layoffs and salary cutbacks were a daily occurrence.
In short, reclassification means a lesser job or an immediate or pending salary cut. It doesn't take an overpaid business consultant to know it's the product of a human resources executive concerned about lowered morale in the corporate ranks. If corporate America came up with terms like "selected out," "placed out," "dehired," and "non-renewed" to replace being "fired," the kinder "displacement" is just more clever doublespeak.
Debunking "reclassification" is an easy target, but there are actually good reasons for it.
At the height of the seller's market, when employers were frantic to put bodies in jobs, often people who were 50 per cent to 60 per cent qualified were placed in jobs, which ultimately backfired.
A precarious business economy forced employers to hire prudently. The goal for most IT employers is finding candidates who are indispensable and moving them into jobs where their abilities can be optimized. That's the reason why technology companies, especially, reclassify employees.
If the demotion process is done properly, it doesn't have to be a demoralizing process, however.
Once you get past the harsh meaning of the word "demotion," think pragmatically and realize that it is often a strategy that benefits both management and employees. In many cases, demotion is an unavoidable strategy for putting more competent and experienced employees in jobs and moving demoted workers into roles more fitting their abilities and personalities.
No matter how a demotion is manoeuvred, however, feelings and egos get bruised. There is no denying that it usually means lower salary and a lesser title, but it can also mean that employees wind up happier and ultimately more productive because they're moved into slots they're more qualified for.
And demotion doesn't always mean an immediate salary cut. Often, salary remains the same.
A big mistake is assuming that everyone in our success-driven culture is striving for the top jobs. Not everyone wants to be a top gun.
Often when positions don't work out and workers are moved into lesser positions, they welcome them, even though it means a salary cut. They may not want too much responsibility, travel, stress and tension. And they may want more time to spend with their families.
Many companies sensitively manage demotions, and often they've worked out to employees' advantage. Most, however, handle them badly. Suddenly being thrust into a lesser job, where you're stripped of power and responsibilities can be an embarrassing and humiliating turn of events – a signal to bail out and find a new job where you're appreciated.
Once you're over the initial shock, rather than plan to find another job, do some self-assessment to find out whether it's ultimately a smart move. Ask yourself the following questions about your new job: How much visibility will I have? What are the paths out of it? Will the demotion put me on a new or different track (which can be a good thing)?
If unsure, give it a try. It could work in your favour. If it doesn't work out, move on and learn from the experience.

It is obvious that the internet is a tremendously powerful medium to spread Torah to the four corners of the earth. How has the dissemination of Torah teachings via the internet helped you as a Bas Noach who accesses these teachings via a computer in South East Asia?
Before the Internet came, I had never heard of the words, "Noahide" or "seven laws". Without the Internet I would not have "unlearned" idolatry and learned about G-d.
I was brought up as a Christian and had my basic education in a convent school. The system was good, discipline stringent, school uniforms below the knee, and other such things. But there were statues everywhere, and we got into the habit of kissing them, touching the holy water, and praying so earnestly to the statues, that now, after studying the Noahide laws, I am totally aghast at my ignorance of the past. I was scared of the devil spearing me when I did a sin, I thought all was hopeless, I thought of the original sin we are born with and so much more.
My Torah tutor had a wonderful way of starting my studies. He told me to go out and ask all the questions that I had about Christianity. I did an online correspondence course on the New Testament with the World Wide Church of God in Pasadena and studied with the Seventh Day Adventist church. I hopped from denomination to denomination seeking the truth.
My Torah tutor on the Internet then disproved every Christian teaching with loads of back up. We spent almost a year unlearning my Christian scriptures. He emptied me of my years of idolatry, and started teaching me from the basics. He made me into a vacuum and started teaching me the holy Tanach.
Every question I asked, he answered - from King David and Bathsheba to Judah and Tamar. And, from these accounts to the reason King Jepthah had to sacrifice his daughter, knowing G-d does not allow human sacrifices. I never stopped asking questions. I remember that we went over King David and Bathsheba for over a year until I was satisfied.
Today my two sons and I might be the only Noahides around here. My husband continues to be an observant Hindu.
When I pray I know G-d hears, that he is not in Heaven looking down from a far off place, but is everywhere. The holy Baal Shem Tov wrote that we can *see* G-d, in His creations, the birds, nature, everywhere. When we fall, He is there to help us up again no matter how many times we fall. There is never a time barrier to teshuvah.
Today, because of the Internet the light of the Torah is reaching to many, even in the darkest corners of the world , and for the first time, I know of the Light to all nations.
If I did not have the Internet there is no way I could have studied what I have studied or known what I do now. G-d has blessed me with many teachers and friends, and given me an understanding at my level, to strengthen my faith enough , prayerfully, not to slip back to my idolatrous past. I am very attached to the Chassidic teachings of the Baal Shem Tov, Chabad, Breslov, and other. I respect and honor all the holy sages. One of my favorite prayers which I try to say often and strengthen myself is that of Reb Nosson of Breslov: Protect me from all extraneous fears, so that I will not be afraid of anything or anyone in the world..... Let me only fear You at all times.
"Believing Gentile" has been corresponding by email with me for several years, and I couldn't be more impressed with her sincerity and strength of character. How she gained the knowledge of Judaism she possessses is equally amazing.
May Hashem bless her and her loved ones with health, happiness, and continued success in their devotion to G-d and the Noachide laws; and may we as Jews live up to our divine mandate to be a "light to the nations" by aspiring to everything that the Torah wants us to exemplify!
Is it true, that brahmins themselves don't believe that in worshiping statues, but common Hindus often really do so?
There are some sources that connect brahmins with Avraham.
I hope we will see more "believing Gentile" postings in the future! May she have good health and success and merit to see the geula sheleima speedily in our days.
Feel free to email me if you ever want to chat with another Bat Noach. We are a bit hard to find.
I expect a wave of conversions within the next few years. Judaism has never competed with other religions on an even ground but on the internet it does. Therei is, of course, a lag time to leaning, and the internet phenomenon is not that old, but soon we will be hearing about more and more people who came to Yiddishkeit or being B'nei Noach through it.
My wife and I both accept the שבע מצוות בני נח and we are moving forward in learning and implementing more all the time about Judaism that is appropriate for us. For example, we keep a totally kosher kitchen and separate meat and milk, eat only kosher meat (this is very important so as to avoid eating blood) and milk. Certainly we don't have anything to do with non-Torah religions. I actively encourage the not-yet-observant Jews I meet to get even a little bit closer to their Judaism.
And all of this wouldn't have been possible without the Torah that is available on the internet. The redemption won't be televised--it's being webcast as we type.
shalom to all, my name is Carlos Rojas and im a Bnei Noach too!, im from Honduras - Latin America, and i love the Rebbe of Lubavitch, Baal Shem Tov, the Breslov Rebbe , im so happy, that i found the TRUE! toda raba to HaShem!!


Fujifilm India Private Limited, a pioneer in imaging technologies, today announced the launch of its rangefinder-style GFX 50R medium format mirrorless camera which features the FUJIFILM G Format (medium format, 43.8x32.9mm) image sensor, which is approx. 1.7 times the size of a full frame 35mm image sensor which is in use commonly.
The GFX 50R continues the compact, lightweight and superior image quality characteristics of Fujifilm's GFX medium format mirrorless digital camera system, while weighing approx. 145g less and 25mm thinner than the FUJIFILM GFX 50S (GFX 50S). The GFX 50S had attracted high praise from professional photographers since its launch in January 2017.
Yet, many field photographers who specialize in weddings, portraits and street photography have sought after an even more compact and lightweight camera, along the line of Fujifilm's traditional medium format film cameras.
With this in mind, FUJIFILM added the new "GFX 50R" to the lineup which is also the world's smallest and most affordable medium format mirrorless camera. GFX 50R is also the first camera in the GFX system to feature Bluetooth compatibility. In India, the camera is available at a price of Rs 369,999 (Body Only).
Along with this, Fujifilm also added two new XF lenses namely XF 8-16mm f/2.8 R LM WR Lens and XF 200mm f/2 OIS WR Lens to the lens lineup for its X Series range of Mirrorless cameras. The XF 8-16mm f/2.8 R LM WR is a 12-24mm-equivalent lens featuring a constant f/2.8 maximum aperture for consistent performance throughout the zoom range. The XF 8-16mm f/2.8 R LM WR is available at Rs 159,999/-.
The XF 200mm f/2 OIS WR Lens, on the other hand, is the first super-fast telephoto lens in the XF lens lineup, offering a fast maximum f-stop of 2.0 and a focal length equivalent to 305mm in 35mm film format. Taking advantage of technologies synonymous with FUJINON lenses, this new telephoto lens boasts exceptional image clarity with the ability to produce beautiful bokeh, making it the perfect choice for shooting sports and wildlife. It is available at a price of Rs 479,999/-.
With these new additions, Fujifilm India hopes to consolidate its position in the Mirrorless Segment and plans to achieve 30% Share in the Indian Mirrorless Market in the next 3-4 Years.
・The GFX 50R is approx. 145g lighter than the GFX 50S (weighing 920g with EVF). The camera body is just 66.4mm thick, 25.0mm thinner than the GFX 50S.
・The rangefinder style design allows you to keep your eye on a subject while looking through the viewfinder with the other eye. This enables checking and feeling the atmosphere of the scene around your subject matter, shown in the EVF.
・The GFX 50R is equipped with the 0.77x 3.69M-dot organic EL electronic viewfinder (EVF). This allows accurate focusing despite the large size of the medium format sensor, which has a shallower depth of field than that of a 35mm full frame sensor when shooting at the same angle of view.
・The medium format (43.8mm x 32.9mm) "G Format" sensor has better per pixel light reception capability than that of a 35mm full frame sensor of the same resolution. Furthermore, the micro lenses have been designed to optimize the light gathering performance and image resolution as well as the handling of data from photodiodes are customized to achieve a superior level of image quality, surpassing that of existing cameras that use a sensor of the same size. As a result, the GFX 50R delivers images that precisely reproduce the subject's texture, three-dimensional feel and even the atmosphere of each scene.
・The GFX 50R is equipped with the Focus Lever to allow quick adjustment of the focus point. The elimination of the selector buttons provides extra space to hold the camera better. The top panel sports two dials, one for shutter speed and the other for exposure compensation. The milled aluminum dials give the camera a premium feel and satisfying clicking touch.
・The robust magnesium alloy body is weather-sealed in 64 places to provide dust and weather resistance and ability to operate at temperatures as low as -10℃. Its durability caters to the needs of all photographers.
・The medium format mirrorless system, GFX system, currently offers a lineup of seven FUJINON GF lenses, covering focal lengths from 23mm (equivalent to 18mm in the 35mm film format) to 250mm (equivalent to 198mm in the 35mm film format). All GF lenses are able to resolve up 100MP which means they are future proof. They are also dust and weather resistant and designed to operate at temperatures as low as -10℃ so that they withstand professional use in harsh conditions.
・Tethered shooting is essential part in a professional photographers workflow. The GFX system supports tethering software "HS-V5 for Windows" and "Tether Shooting Plug-in PRO for Adobe® Photoshop®", "Capture One Pro (FUJIFILM)" is also due to be released, giving extra options in studio sessions for commercial and fashion photography. This means that a professional photographer can incorporate the GFX system into their regular workflow.
・This is the first model in the GFX system to support the Bluetooth® low energy technology. Captured images can be transferred easily and quickly to smartphones and tablet devices paired with the camera via the FUJIFILM Camera Remote app.

Soccer and Sports Psychological Motivation
This is a 7 page paper discussing motivation in sport with examples from soccer.

Researchers A.V. Carron and R.H. Cox have compiled collections of motivational models which can be applied within the sport setting. While much of the research can be applied to athletes who compete on an individual level, much of it has also been applied to the team environment. Several research studies in the area of junior soccer have revealed that expectations of others and perceived self-control are high motivators in relation to perceived competence and performance. While many factors such as intrinsic self-confidence are required for high anxiety level components of the game, such as penalty shots, several other components related to expectations of others such as audience support are more consistent indicators of motivation in the sport of soccer. Bibliography list 6 sources.

(5 pp) Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox, has been goin' strong for over eighty years. Once more it is spring and time to play ball - against the Yankees of course. You mean there is another team? This discussion concerns the Red Sox-- Yankee game of 4/20/2001.
Volleyball Serving Improvements
A 5 page paper discussing what parts of anatomy and what actions need to be addressed in achieving improved performance in the service of a volleyball, which is more straightforward than achieving improvement in other areas. Conditions always are consistent in terms of distance to send the ball, where to send the ball and the motions involved in accomplishing a successful serve. Improvements in the results of the serve therefore can focus on the server's approach to the ball and the level of strength s/he includes in making contact with the ball to initiate its movement. The server soon will determine what level of force applied will result in placing the ball in the desired area of the opposing team's court without traveling out of bounds. Once these principles are defined in action, ultimate improvement in performance rests on the repetition of practice. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
Serving a Volleyball and its Kinesiology

Musicians provide a unique opportunity for us to listen to music composed centuries ago. Through years of extensive training, musicians acquire exceptional sensory, motor, and cognitive abilities, including vast memory, fast performance of dexterous movements, and fine-tuned sensory discriminability. Musicians' virtuosity, however, stands upon experience-based training and education, in contrast to athletes who fully benefit from sports science. A goal of music performance science is to optimize musical practice and education, so that musicians can transform musicality into music effectively and efficiently, without suffering from injuries such as tendonitis, chronic pain, and focal dystonia. Evidence-based musical training renders our world cultural enrichment through coevolution of an open system forming artists, educators, and audience.

Simply put, Logistyx Technologies helps businesses reduce shipping costs, boost efficiency and enhance customer service. A newly formed company, Logistyx brought us in at the ground level to bring this global leader to market. To start, we began a strategic and tactical exploration of company names, then developed the company's brand identity. Knowing this new company would be the international leader in transportation logistics the day it launched, our branding needed to be bold, global and future-focused.
Once the name was chosen, our team developed a fluid mark for Logistyx using a tangram, which allowed us to help tell their complex story with seven simple shapes.
Simplicity was also our goal when it came to the user experience and design of the website. Understanding varied user personas was a key driver as we began this project. The sales team needed an up-to-date tool to showcase their solutions, and be applicable to businesses large and small with varied journeys in over a dozen industries. The CMS and page structure needed to be user-friendly for the hands-on internal team who would help develop the content for each major phase of this website over the next year.

Q: How do I use a for loop to add new entries to a python dictionary? I am trying to make a for loop which adds new entries to my dictionary which should be in the format of {1:0.5, 2:0.5, 3:0.5....}
I need to make it do this 200 times. But for some reason my code prints out an empty dictionary:
initial_dict = {}

for i in initial_dict.copy():
    if len(i) < 200:
        initial_dict.update({i: 0.5})

print initial_dict

Any ideas?

A: >>> d = {}
>>> for i in range(1, 201):
...     d[i] = 0.5
...
>>> d

or the shorter form using dict comprehensions:
>>> { i: 0.5 for i in range(1, 201) }

A: Use a dict comprehension:
initial_dict = {i:0.5 for i in range(1, 201)}

A: use dict.fromkeys():
help on dict.fromkeys():

dict.fromkeys(S[,v]) -> New dict with keys from S and values equal to
  v. v defaults to None.

dic=dict.fromkeys(range(1,201),0.5)

example:
In [11]: dic=dict.fromkeys(range(1,10),0.5)

In [12]: dic
Out[12]: {1: 0.5, 2: 0.5, 3: 0.5, 4: 0.5, 5: 0.5, 6: 0.5, 7: 0.5, 8: 0.5, 9: 0.5}

dict.fromkeys() is also more efficient than the dict comprehension:
In [17]: %timeit { i: 0.5 for i in range(1, 201) }
10000 loops, best of 3: 35.8 us per loop

In [18]: %timeit dict.fromkeys(range(1,201),0.5)
10000 loops, best of 3: 21.6 us per loop

A: In [1]: dict.fromkeys(range(10), 0.5)
Out[1]:
{0: 0.5,
 1: 0.5,
 2: 0.5,
 3: 0.5,
 4: 0.5,
 5: 0.5,
 6: 0.5,
 7: 0.5,
 8: 0.5,
 9: 0.5}

It's unclear whether you are constructing a new dictionary like this, or need to update an existing one with these keys/values. If the latter, just write:
initial_dict.update(dict.fromkeys(range(200), 0.5))

A: initial_dict is empty, so I don't understand how you expect to iterate through a copy of it. That loop will never even enter.
If you just want to create a dictionary with keys 1 to 200, you could do this:
dict.fromkeys(xrange(1,201), 0.5)

A: You may write like:
initial_dict = {}
for i in range(1, 200):
  initial_dict .setdefault(i, 0.5)

Partial snap short of output:
>>> initial_dict
{1: 0.5, 2: 0.5, 3: 0.5, 4: 0.5, 5: 0.5, 6: 0.5, 7: 0.5, 8: 0.5, 9: 0.5,

Second way (better):
>>> for i in range(1, 200):
...     initial_dict[i] = 0.5

A: For python 2.7 or 3.x instead of loop you can make it in one line:
dct = {x: 0.5 for x in range(1, 201)}

A: Simplest way to do this:
my_dict = {}
for i in range(1, 201): # second argument is exclusive
   my_dict[i] = 0.5
