Q: UpdateExpression taking dynamic values for update function in DynamoDB table using boto3 This is two part question for first part
Updating the value of DynamoDB table with boto3 implemented lambda function
now what i am trying to achieve is having dynamic value to update
def lambda_handler(event, context):
    param = event['queryStringParameters']['employeID']
    name = event['queryStringParameters']['employeName']
    dynamodb = boto3.resource('dynamodb', region_name="us-east-1")
    table = dynamodb.Table('api_demo_employe')
    column = [cloumn1,cloumn2......]
    for i in range(0,len(column):

       query = 'SET {} = :f'.format(column[i])

       response = table.update_item(
           Key = {
               'employeID' : param
           },
           ExpressionAttributeValues = {

              ':f': name
          },
           UpdateExpression = query

          )

I am getting an error
 "errorMessage": "An error occurred (ValidationException) when calling the UpdateItem operation: One or more parameter values were invalid: Cannot update attribute employeID. This attribute is part of the key",

I know the issue is with how i am handling UpdateExpression
Could any one help me put with this one?

A: You're trying to update the item's key, which doesn't work. You will have to delete and recreate the item.
For details, please refer to the Amazon DynamoDB documentation:

You cannot use UpdateItem to update any primary key attributes. Instead, you will need to delete the item, and then use PutItem to create a new item with new attributes.

Need the best car loan in Quebec? You're already en route.
Apply for a car loan
Get approved for a car loan in Quebec. Just like that.
You're ready for a new (or used) ride, and all you need is some financing. No problem. Our car loan service helps Quebec drivers secure a loan and get on the road.
We can help you even if you have:
Bad credit.
No credit.
Good credit.
Late payments.
Repossession.
Collections.
A bankruptcy.
A divorce.
New Canadian status.
How it works. Hint: It's free!
Enter your information.
Get matched with a dealership and get approved for a loan.
Choose a vehicle from the dealership offering you a loan.
Quebec car loans made easy.
We're proud of the car loan service we offer. Here's why applying for a car loan online through LowestRates.ca is the better way.
Applying only takes a few minutes.
98% approval
Got bad credit or no credit at all? Don't sweat it.
Large loans available
Our auto loans range from $5,000 to $40,000.
Your info only goes to the dealer we match you with.
There's no charge to use our car loan service.
Fair interest rates
Our auto loan rates in Quebec are market-competitive.
Your Quebec car loan questions, answered.
I don't live in a big city like Montreal. Can I still get a car loan?
es. Our network of lenders and dealers operates across all of Quebec. So while we can match you with a car loan partner in Montreal, we can also match you if you live in a smaller place, like Sherbrooke, Rimouski, or Drummondville.
How much tax do I have to pay on a vehicle purchased in Quebec?
Unlike in some other provinces, Quebec still has two separate taxes, GST and QST (Quebec Sales Tax), and they're calculated differently. If you purchase a car from a registered dealer you'll have to pay 5% GST on the price and 9.975% QST on either the price of the car or the estimated value of the car — whichever amount is higher.
If I buy a used car, can I still benefit from the manufacturer's warranty?
Of course — as long as the warranty hasn't expired. When vehicle ownership changes hands in Quebec, so does the warranty.
How will my monthly payments be calculated?
The calculations are based on a couple of factors, including your loan amount, interest rate, and loan term. Naturally, a large loan and high interest rate will lead to more expensive payments, and the opposite is true for smaller loans and lower rates.
But it's the loan term that can really decide your monthly payments. The longer you stretch out your loan, the less you pay month to month — but be careful. You have to pay more interest on a long loan than on a short loan.
Take a look at our graph to see what your payments might look like for a $9,000 loan at 8% interest over different periods of time.

Quebec car loan tips
Buy from a licensed dealer
Licensed Quebec car dealers have to follow provincial regulations designed to protect consumers like yourself, so it's safer, financially, to work with them. Use the Office of Consumer Protection's tool to learn more about the licensed dealer we match you with.
Choose a shorter loan
Short loans, like 24, 36, and 48-month loans, are smart options if you can afford bigger payments. You'll pay down your principal faster and save on interest charges.
Read reviews and study the car's safety ratings. And don't just learn more about the car — learn more about the process of buying a car too. Visit the SAAQ website for more car buying tips and resources.
Ask for the car's history
Want to verify the info (number of kilometres, previous repairs, etc.) listed in the car's label before you buy? Request a history of the car from the SAAQ (la Société de l'assurance automobile du Québec) and get access to an official record of the vehicle.
Go for a test drive
Drive the car for at least 30 minutes and get a feel for how it steers, brakes, and accelerates. Remember to also test it on different road conditions and at different speeds.
Quebec car loan facts
The car-buying season isn't in full swing yet, but Quebec's already clocked in 39,800 auto sales between January and March 2016.
When it comes to buying a new car in Quebec, North American vehicles reign supreme. Recent numbers from Stats Canada show that Quebec residents bought 137,911 North-American-made cars and 80,545 imports in 2015.
While Western provinces like Alberta and Saskatchewan reported a spike in auto loan delinquencies in Q4 2015, Quebec actually boasted the lowest delinquency rate (0.92%) in all of Canada.
Truck sales are up. According to Scotiabank's Global Auto Report, truck sales in Quebec rose almost 25% compared to 2015.
Quebec car loan myths
I can't get a car loan in Quebec if I have bad credit or no credit history at all. False. We actually specialize in car loans for Canadians with poor credit or no credit history. So even if you've experienced a repossession, declared bankruptcy, or recently moved to Canada, the lenders and dealers in our network will work with you to get the financing you need.
I have 10 days to return my car and get a full refund. False. There's no return policy for car sales in Quebec. Make sure you're certain about a vehicle before you buy it because there's no turning back once you sign that contract.
The Consumer Protection Act applies to all used car sales in Quebec. False. The Consumer Protection Act only protects you if you buy a car from a dealership. When you buy privately from an individual, like from a friend or an online seller, the Office of Consumer Protection can only act as an advisor for the sale.
It's difficult to get a car loan for a used car in Quebec. False. Our car loan service matches you with lenders and dealers who offer auto loans for used vehicles.

Staircase Ursuliner Lyzeum, Cologne 1928, printed 1977 depicts a stairwell in a secondary school, photographed directly upward from one of the lower floors. Each part of the staircase has different lighting, creating a varied interplay of light and shadow, while the concrete structure enhances the geometric character of the composition. Seen from below, each floor appears as a slightly tilted four-sided figure decreasing in size and drawing attention to the vanishing point on the ceiling, where there is a dark circle, perhaps a light fixture. In a spiral effect, the fading of tones connects each level to the next while conveying an intense sense of depth. The image transforms the building's modernist features into pure forms and abstraction.
Staircase Ursuliner Lyzeum, Cologne is part of a portfolio of ten small, black and white gelatin silver prints that were selected by Mantz towards the end of his life as representative of his finest work. They were reprinted in 1977 in collaboration with the Berlin-based gallery Schurmann and Kicken in an edition of twenty-five plus ten artist's proofs. Tate's group of ten prints is number twenty. Each print is signed and dated at the bottom of the image. The depiction of the bare interiors of buildings and overlooked details, as seen in Staircase Ursuliner Lyzeum, Cologne, reveals Mantz's ability to capture the overall atmosphere of modernist architectural projects of the time. This is further exemplified by other images from the portfolio including Detail Kalkerfeld Settlement, Cologne 1928, printed 1977 (Tate P79945) and Kölnische Zeitung, Pressa, Cologne 1928, printed 1977 (Tate P79948).

"The Golden Gate National Recreation Area has confirmed that the Patriot Prayer group has relinquished the permit for a rally at Crissy Field on Saturday at 2 p.m.
Public safety is always our top priority. The San Francisco Police Department and our City's public safety agencies are prepared for any contingencies and spontaneous events. San Francisco does not welcome outside agitators whose messages of hate have the sole purpose of inciting violence.
No permits have been requested or issued for Alamo Square this weekend. SFPD will have an enhanced presence at Alamo Square and in the surrounding neighborhoods. I want to reinforce that existing San Francisco law prohibits firearms and weapons in city parks. Those who seek to commit acts of violence or damage property will be arrested and prosecuted.
We continue to encourage residents to attend peaceful gatherings and not engage with those who seek to disrupt our communities. Today, we showed the world what peace and unity looks like. We stood together and stated resoundingly that San Francisco is a city of love and compassion and does not tolerate hate."

Body found by police probing mystery of Dean Patrick White's year-long disappearance
By Briana Shepherd

Major Crime detectives have discovered a body in a camp area in Western Australia's Wheatbelt that is believed to be that of a man who has been missing for more than a year.
Dean Patrick White, known as 'Whitey' to his friends, was last known to be in Quairading on March 31 last year.
The 55-year-old's disappearance has since remained largely a mystery, with homicide detectives spreading out across WA in February in a bid to find out what happened to him.
Police said detectives had located the body of a man at a campsite north of Quairading.
"The investigation into his death is ongoing," a WA Police spokeswoman said.
"Investigators are still seeking to identify and speak with a family who are believed to have provided a lift to a male person from the Quairading town site to a camping area to the northern side of the township on or around 1 April 2017."
"The male person who was provided the lift was approximately 40 years of age and white skinned."
Mr White had previously been camping in Mildura, on the Victoria-New South Wales border, but had returned home to WA to be closer to his family.
The investigation into Mr White's disappearance has stretched across Australia. (Supplied: WA Police)
His vehicle — a 1989 Toyota Landcruiser — was involved in a crash in Highvale, on the outskirts of Brisbane, in June last year.
The driver fled the scene before police arrived, but police do not believe Mr White was at the wheel.
Bank transactions raise suspicion
Detectives appealed for information during their widespread operation in February, when they particularly targeted the eastern Goldfields — where Mr White was known to have travelled to a number of communities.
Officers spent two days in Kambalda, while teams went from Cunderdin, 158 kilometres from Perth, to Cocklebiddy, 1,156km east on the Eyre Highway.

Police said their suspicions had increased when it was found that someone was continuing to access his bank accounts after he was last seen.
"That has to do with banking transactions that are inconsistent with his lifestyle … a change in the manner it's being done," Detective Senior Sergeant Walsh said in February.
"We don't make assumptions; that's probably the biggest no-no.
"But this is suspicious in nature, so we're treating it as a suspicious investigation."
Anyone with information has been urged to contact Crime Stoppers.

According to a new article published by The National Real Estate Investor, connection is the best amenity you can offer your tenants!
Apartment Community managers are looking for new ways to improve connections between their residents. Residents who attend social events are more likely to create friendships with their neighbors, and thus are more likely to renew their leases.
Adding such things as amenities that help residents connect with their fellow residents, nearby communities, and services can help do just that. Millenials are increasingly looking for communities in urban environments that emphasize concierge amenities, which can arrange everything from show tickets to laundry pick-up and deliveries for residents.
Uber and public transportation options are important to urban and suburban apartment dwellers alike, so more and more owners and operators have contracted with Uber, Smart Cars, and shuttle bus services to fill transportation gaps.

PROCEDURE FOR CHURCH INVOLVEMENT IN DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Derived from recommendations from the Biblical Discipline and Appeal Process Committee
In a perfect world, nobody would hurt or offend anybody else. There would be no disagreements or conflicts leading to hurt feelings or worse. But we do not live in a perfect world. And Christians, like all other human beings, are imperfect. Christians can and do have disagreements (Acts 15:39). Christians can and do hurt one another. Sometimes they even anathematize or slander one another.
Jesus knew we would have conflicts and disagreements even as brethren, so He gave us some principles or guidelines to follow. These guidelines only work with willing, converted and mature minds. Immature minds follow a dependency paradigm and seek others—usually authority figures—to intercede and resolve their problems. The mature person realizes he has a responsibility to take care of his own conflicts, without the need for mediators or intercessors (Luke 12:13-14; Proverbs 26:17).
Paul explained that if Christians are to judge even angels in the future, all of us should be capable of resolving our own issues now (1 Corinthians 6:1-8). The biblical approach to conflict resolution for the Christian is derived primarily from Matthew 18:15-17. The underlying subtext of Matthew 18 is basic respect—and love—for each individual as a child of God. A Christian's thoughts and words should reflect that attitude (Matthew 12:34-37; 1 Corinthians 13:4-7; Philippians 4:8). A Christian should respect even strangers, following the Golden Rule (Matthew 7:12).
The other subtext of Matthew 18 is the sense of family and of community. The Christian wants to get along with his brethren. He wants breaches to be healed. A Christian can get angry with a brother, but without sinning (Ephesians 4:26; Matthew 5:22-26, 44-48).
A third subtext is that Christianity demands courage, which is why, perhaps, all too few Christians truly follow the guidelines Jesus gave us in Matthew 18. Following these principles demands overcoming timidity and cowardice (2 Timothy 1:7), for it is not easy to go to one's brother. It is far easier to gossip about him, or to make accusations behind his back. When a Christian does this, he is often succumbing to the temptations proffered by the archaccuser (Revelation 12:9-10). Moreover, the tongue, as emphasized in James 3, is powerful and should be used to build up—not to tear down—our community. The Christian's focus should be: What can I give to strengthen our community? How can I build healthy relationships?
Matthew 18:15-35 describes three steps:
1. Matthew 18:15 directs the Christian to begin the process of conflict resolution by privately going to the person who can most easily do something about the problem—the person who, at least in the offended person's perception, created the problem to begin with. In reviewing the various subtexts or themes of this passage (basic respect and love, sense of family and community, courage), the Christian realizes that the approach he must take is allimportant. For example, he will not publicize the offense but keep it secret (Proverbs 25:9). He will not go in wagging an accusatory finger, or demanding an apology, or announcing an
ultimatum. Instead he will approach the situation with an attitude of humility (Galatians 6:1-3) because he realizes that it is often hard even for servants of God to see themselves as offenders (2 Samuel 12:1-7). The Christian must exhibit a genuine willingness to forgive (Luke 17:3-4). It is also important to understand that it is entirely possible for the offended party to have misunderstood his brother's intent or to be missing some essential facts. (Author Stephen Covey in Seven Habits of Highly Effective People describes a principle that is very applicable in this context: Seek first to understand, then to be understood.) A Christian cannot assume he understands every relevant detail of a given situation. Many offenses boil down to some sort of misunderstanding. Once the issue is brought out and explained, it is much easier to resolve. The Christian must also go to his brother in a constructive frame of mind. He must truly be seeking to repair the rift and build up the relationship between them, as much as humanly possible. He should be willing to give the other party the benefit of the doubt. He should assume that the other party did not mean to offend or hurt him. After all, that is how most people would like to be treated. We would like others to assume that we meant well, even if we had said or done something that caused offense. If Christians consistently and carefully apply this first step, using the approach delineated above, the vast majority of interpersonal conflicts would be resolved, resulting in a strengthened church. It is important to note that the response of the brother or sister who has offended is also important. If a Christian's brother comes to him, the offending party should also be willing to seek first to understand, then to be understood. If a Christian has done wrong, he should have the courage to apologize without trying to make excuses. If he finds himself getting defensive, he could ask the brother who has come to him for time—perhaps a day or so—to think and to pray about the situation, with the hope of becoming less defensive and more conciliatory. One more example of the kind of attitude the Christian needs to have in going to a brother or sister who has offended him or has sinned and hurt him is found in the example of Joseph, the human father of Jesus. Joseph had the right to publicly humiliate Mary, but being a just man, he kept things private (Matthew 1:18-19). In fact, if we look at passages such as Deuteronomy 22:13-24, Mary apparently could have been sentenced to death by stoning. Joseph, however, being the kind of man who could be a model for God's own Son, showed great mercy, as God does toward all Christians every day (Lamentations 3:22-23).
2. Matthew 18:16 discusses taking witnesses to help resolve the problem if the first step was not successful in doing so. Clearly, considering the subtexts already adduced, the Christian who sincerely wants to gain his brother will want witnesses who are seeking a "win-win" resolution for everyone, not people who are biased and may have their own grudge against a brother. The attitude of these witnesses, too, should reflect basic respect and love, a strong sense of family and community, as well as courage and mercy. They are there not to buttress either side's arguments, but to contribute to a resolution of the problem. Obviously, they can ask clarifying questions, but they are not part of the dispute or offense. If a large percentage of problems between brethren could be resolved with the first step of Matthew 18, then surely most of the remaining problems should be resolved by the second step. So perhaps a minuscule number of issues would ever need to be taken to the third step.
3. Matthew 18:17. How is the term "church" to be understood and applied in this context? The church as a spiritual organism? As a church organization? As a local congregation? If it is the latter, do we mean everyone in the congregation, including young children? If we mean the church as a spiritual organism, how do we take a matter before the entire church? The view adopted by the board of trustees is that Matthew 18:17 is a reference to those who are in a position of responsibility for the congregation that the Christian disputants in question attend. (In another New Testament book, addressing each of the seven churches is synonymous with addressing the "angel" of each church—cf. Revelation 3:13-14. There is an implied identification of the congregation with the leadership of that congregation.) In the case of the Church of God Big Sandy, the individuals responsible for the congregation as its appointed representatives are the members of the board of trustees. Christians should always entertain the hope that, at some future point, an offending brother may come to see his offense, repent and seek to be reconciled to the one he has offended. In that light, how beneficial will it have been to have trumpeted the person's offense(s) to the entire church? Moreover, if a Christian's attitude toward even a "heathen" or a "publican" should be one of outgoing concern and forgiveness, not hatred or revenge, how much more should he be willing to forgive his brother? (Luke 23:34; Acts 7:60; Romans 5:8, 10; Matthew 5:44). Jesus clearly points out in Matthew 18:21-35 that if a Christian is unwilling to forgive others, then he cannot be forgiven. The policy submitted and recommended by the Biblical Discipline and Appeals Process
Committee is based on the assumption that Christian brethren will make a prayerful, sincere, and wholehearted effort to resolve their differences, or to amend their behavior if they are made aware of its inappropriateness. The essential principles Christians should follow, more fully described above, can be summarized as:
• They will genuinely seek to be reconciled to the offending brother (Matthew 18:15);
• They are willing and eager to forgive (Matthew 18:21-35);
• They will seek resolution at the earliest possible opportunity (Ephesians 4:26);
• They will seek restoration in a spirit of humility (Galatians 6:1-3).
In the judgment of the board of trustees, it is not the pastor's responsibility to mediate disputes between Christians (Luke 12:13-14). If his intervention is requested, he should remind disputants of the principles described above, and he should periodically teach principles of conflict resolution from the pulpit. But Christians who have not resolved a dispute even after following the first two steps delineated in Matthew 18:15-17 should follow up on step three with the church board, not with the pastor. This policy is intended to provide an orderly process for doing that.
At the request of the disputants, the board of trustees will name an ad hoc committee to work with the parties involved in an attempt to achieve a resolution. The committee shall be made up of three to five members of the congregation, one of whom must be a current board member. The committee members will be selected from a list of 10-15 members of the congregation whom the board considers to be qualified to assist in resolving conflicts and redressing grievances. In order to avoid even the appearance of impropriety, a board member or committee member should recuse himself if the dispute involves his employer, his employee, a member of his family or any other person with whom he has a relationship that would give rise to a real or perceived conflict of interest.
The first responsibility of the committee will be to ascertain that the request is valid, i.e., that the first two steps of Matthew 18:15-17 have been correctly and completely followed. If, in the judgment of the committee, those steps have not been carried out correctly or completely, then the committee will recommend to the disputants to first fulfill those steps. The committee may assist the disputants by reviewing with them the principles underlying Matthew 18:15-17 as outlined in the prologue above and by making practical suggestions on how to fulfill their Christian responsibilities in this regard.
If, in the judgment of the committee, the first two steps have been correctly and completely carried out, but without success, then the parties to the dispute will have the opportunity to present their case to the committee in writing and then orally within 30 days of a valid request. The deadlines for submission of written documentation and the dates for oral presentations will be established by the committee in as reasonable a manner as possible, but not later than 30 days after the initial valid request. Disputants may ask witnesses to submit written testimony or testify orally before the committee. With the consent of both disputants, one or more meetings between the committee and the disputants may be private.
The grievance committee's decision may be appealed to the full board of trustees within 30 days of the announcement of the decision. The procedure to be followed by the board shall be the same as the procedure followed by the grievance committee, within the same time frame and under the same conditions.
The committee and the board will make every reasonable effort to assist the disputants in achieving a satisfactory resolution to their conflict. However, the board and committee fully realize that they have no authority to impose an unwanted resolution, nor is it their desire or intention to do so. Whether or not a successful resolution is achieved, the disputants will be expected to conduct themselves in the congregation in a manner befitting Christians. Refusal to do so may leave the pastor or board no choice but to ask them to refrain from attending church services or other church activities. Should such an unfortunate situation arise, disputants shall be advised that they will be welcome to return to church activities when they are willing to conduct themselves in an orderly manner.

Benjamin Netanyahu suggests microchipping kids, slammed by experts
"If the information with the kids' location is uploaded to the internet, a pedophile with some cyber knowledge may invade the system and stalk them," cyber expert Einat Meron said.

Cyber experts slammed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for his proposal to "microchip" children who return to schools and kindergartens as the coronavirus lockdown is lifted, Ynet reported on Friday.
While speaking at a press conference on Monday, Netanyahu suggested the Health Ministry use new technology to help Israel adjust to its new routine as the state is lifting the coronavirus lockdown. "That is, technology that has not been used before and is allowed under the legislation we shall enact," he clarified.
"I spoke with our heads of technology in order to find measures Israel is good at, such as sensors. For instance, every person, every kid – I want it on kids first – would have a sensor that would sound an alarm when you get too close, like the ones on cars," the prime minister said.
"It will be hard to do it to more than a million schoolchildren who return to their educational institutions in order to ensure one student sits at the distance of two meters from another. It is fictional and dangerous," cyber resilience expert Einat Meron told Ynet.
"Theoretically, I get the idea behind it," she said. "But although such distance-sensitive microchips exist in vehicles, it is different in humans." According to Meron, "a beeping sound telling me I got close to someone is not enough. Who says it will change anything? I would have gotten closer either way."
The expert added that "the actual issue is the enforcement, and here everything changes." Meron told Ynet that "microchipping children will not pass any test – both practically and legally." Similar to Meron's notion that notifying citizens on their distance will not affect their actions, many fear the state would make use of the information available from the sensors.
"If the information with the kids' location is uploaded to the internet, a pedophile with some cyber knowledge may invade the system and stalk them outside their schools, follow them and distribute the information on other platforms," Meron said. "Can the state take responsibility for that?"
The Prime Minister's Office responded to the report, telling Ynet Netanyahu's suggestion "is not to be implemented through databases, but through simple technology notifying [the citizens] about their distance. It is a voluntary option that is designed to help children keep their distance, like Mobileye with vehicles."
The office added that the prime minister's suggestion is "an idea that may help maintain social distancing, and there will not be any violation of privacy."
On Wednesday, Walla reported the movements of all vehicles in Israel were tracked by police and stored in an unregulated database named Eagle Eye. A source cited by the media site said the information "may be kept for years on end."
The Association for Civil Rights in Israel (ACRI) reportedly submitted a request under the Freedom of Information Act that police disclose the extent of the operations of Eagle Eye, as well as the time the information on citizens' movements is stored in the system.
Israel Police responded to ACRI, saying the system's activity was not standardized internally despite several years of operations. "Either way, once finalized, the procedure will not be disclosed to the public," police added.
In late March, Yediot Aharonot reported a classified Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) database stored information on all Israeli citizens and most Palestinians from the West Bank. The data tracked by the security agency included movements, phone calls and text messages.
