Thomas Theodore Fields, Jr., known as T. T. Fields (October 12, 1912 – January 17, 1994),[1] was a Democratic member of the Louisiana House of Representatives from his native Farmerville in Union Parish in north Louisiana. He served from 1952 to 1964 and again from a combined Union and Morehouse parish district from 1968 to 1972. His service extended under Governors Robert F. Kennon, Earl Kemp Long, Jimmie Davis, and the second administration of John McKeithen.[2]


Fields's namesake grandfather, Theodore Thomas Fields, I (1846-1921), was a newspaper editor in Avoyelles Parish in South Louisiana and a native of Danville in Boyle County, Kentucky.[3] Fields' father, Harvey Fields, a Marksville native, was a state senator for Union and Morehouse parishes from 1916 to 1920, a member of the Louisiana Public Service Commission from 1927 to 1936, and briefly a law partner of Huey Pierce Long, Jr.[4]


Along with Fred Preaus, a Farmerville businessman who ran for governor in 1956, and State Senator B. R. Patton, Fields worked to make Lake D'Arbonne in Farmerville a reality. Popular with fisherman and boaters, the large man-made lake opened in 1963.[5][6] Both Patton and Fields were unseated in the 1963-64 election cycle after Lake D'Arbonne had already opened.


After three terms in the state House, Fields four years later won a comeback bid in the general election held on February 6, 1968. He and former intraparty rival, James Peyton Smith, defeated the lone Republican candidate, Edwards Barham of Oak Ridge in Morehouse Parish, who polled 44 percent of the vote in a three-candidate field in which two were elected.[7] In 1975, Barham became the first Republican since Reconstruction to be elected to the Louisiana Senate. He served only one term until his defeat in 1979 by the Democrat David 'Bo' Ginn of Bastrop in Morehouse Parish.[8]


Fields was married to Ruth Atcheson "Katie" Fields (1914-1993), whom he outlived by eight months. The couple and other family members are interred at Farmerville Cemetery in Farmerville.[9]

PySpark count values by condition

Image
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
