Thomas D. Westfall (May 14, 1927 – March 7, 2005) was an American politician who served as the Mayor of El Paso, Texas for one-term from 1979 to 1981.[1]


Westfall was born in Decatur, Illinois. Westfall joined the United States Marine Corps at the age of 17 and served with the 1st Marines in the Pacific and in Tientsin, China during the final campaigns of World War II. After the war, under the G.I. Bill, Westfall attended Millikin University where he obtained a BA degree, and the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign where he obtained a law degree in 1951. Westfall was then hired by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and worked as an agent for over 25 years in Dallas, Columbus, Ohio, Washington, D.C., Savannah, Georgia, and finally in El Paso, Texas, where he was the Assistant Special Agent in Charge. In this capacity he supervised criminal investigations of offenses of federal laws until his retirement. He was a member of the Ohio State Bar Association.


In 1979, Westfall was elected Mayor of El Paso, defeating incumbent Mayor Ray Salazar in the election.[1] Westfall ran into situations which put him in opposition to many of his political opponents, some of whom preferred a more subtle approach to problems. Westfall was defeated for re-election in 1981 by Jonathan Rogers.[1]


In 1985 Westfall relocated to North Bend, Oregon where he died in March 2005 at the age of 77.[2]


He was married for 53 years to Margie Peters, who he met while in high school in Decatur.

PySpark count values by condition

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP PySpark count values by condition I have a DataFrame, a snippet here: [['u1', 1], ['u2', 0]] basically one string ('f') and either a 1 or a 0 for second element ('is_fav'). What I need to do is grouping on the first field and counting the occurrences of 1s and 0s. I was hoping to do something like num_fav = count((col("is_fav") == 1)).alias("num_fav") num_nonfav = count((col("is_fav") == 0)).alias("num_nonfav") df.groupBy("f").agg(num_fav, num_nonfav) It does not work properly, I get in both cases the same result which amounts to the count for the items in the group, so the filter (whether it is a 1 or a 0) seems to be ignored. Does this depend on how count works? count 1 Answer 1 There is no filter here. Both col("is_fav") == 1 and col("is_fav") == 0) are just boolean expressions and count doesn't really care about their value as long a
