Q: Failed to execute user defined function on a dataframe in Spark (Scala) I have a dataframe df like the following
+--------+--------------------+--------+------+
|      id|                path|somestff| hash1|
+--------+--------------------+--------+------+
|       1|/file/dirA/fileA.txt|      58| 65161|
|       2|/file/dirB/fileB.txt|      52| 65913|
|       3|/file/dirC/fileC.txt|      99|131073|
|       4|/file/dirF/fileD.txt|      46|196233|
+--------+--------------------+--------+------+

One note: The /file/dir differ. Not all files are stored in the same directory. In fact there a hundreds of files in various directories.
What I want to accomplish here is to read the file in the column path and count the records within the files and write the result of the row count into a new column of a dataframe.
I tried the following function and udf:
def executeRowCount(fileCount: String): Long = {
  val rowCount = spark.read.format("csv").option("header", "false").load(fileCount).count
  rowCount
}

val execUdf = udf(executeRowCount _)

df.withColumn("row_count", execUdf (col("path"))).show()

This results in the following error

        ... 19 more

I tried to iterate through the column when collected like
val te = df.select("path").as[String].collect()
te.foreach(executeRowCount)

and here it works just fine, but I want to store the result within the df...
I've tried several solutions, but I'm facing a dead end here.

A: That does not work as the data frames can only be created in the driver JVM but the UDF code is run in executor JVMs. What you can do is to load the CSVs into a separate data frame and enrich the data with a file name column:
val csvs = spark
 .read
 .format("csv")
 .load("/file/dir/")
 .withColumn("filename", input_file_name())

and then join the original df on filename column

A: I fixed this issue in the following way:
val queue = df.select("path").as[String].collect()
val countResult = for (item <- queue) yield {
    val rowCount = (item, spark.read.format("csv").option("header", "false").load(item).count)
    rowCount
}

val df2 = spark.createDataFrame(countResult)

Afterwards I joined the df with df2...
The problem here is as @ollik1 mentioned within the driver/worker architecture on udfs. The UDF is not serializable, what I would need with the spark.read function.

A: What about ? :
def executeRowCount = udf((fileCount: String) => {
  spark.read.format("csv").option("header", "false").load(fileCount).count
})

df.withColumn("row_count", executeRowCount(col("path"))).show()

A: May be something like that ?
  sqlContext
    .read
    .format("csv")
    .load("/tmp/input/")
    .withColumn("filename", input_file_name())
    .groupBy("filename")
    .agg(count("filename").as("record_count"))
    .show()

Ryan Lochte Will Sit Down With Matt Lauer For His First Interview Since The Rio Robbery Scandal
by: Jeremy Gottlieb August 20, 2016
He apologized but that didn't really go so well for Ryan Lochte. In fact, this whole week can be placed firmly in that category, seeing as how the gold-medal winning swimmer has turned himself into a laughingstock for the whole world to see after his story of being robbed at gunpoint in Rio unraveled in spectacular fashion.
They say image is everything, so Lochte will take another stab at damage control with his first sit-down interview since the story broke and was subsequently broken. NBC's Matt Lauer will have the privilege of conducting this chat and, per Deadline, it will air during primetime on NBC's coverage of the Olympics. A preview of the interview is set to be shown beforehand on NBC Nightly News and more will be unveiled Monday morning on the Today show.
Lochte, never once in his life accused of being a Rhodes Scholar, has seen his account of what happened on that drunken trip to a gas station shredded by the police, his teammates and, most importantly, security footage. As previously mentioned, he put forth an apology in the form of a statement, but that didn't exactly work out either. With it now clearer than ever that he made the whole thing up and subsequently humiliated not just himself, his teammates and USA Swimming but the entire country of Brazil, one would assume that what is an actual apology tour is now underway.

The UN is a totally corrupt dis-Organisation. So nothing positive will ever come out of their "conferences".
Human personal short term interests will make sure nothing is ever done to mitigate Global Warming .
The Metalhydrates in the oceans will continue to bleed into the atmosphere.
Why "conferences" with quotes? Are they actually something else in disguise? Like a bar-b-que or a dance party?
I think it is more like spring break at Daytona Beach.
They even used diesel generators to provide power 24/7, talk about a carbon foot print.
Current climate shift may be past the tipping point. While this shift may not be solely induced by human activity…continued air/ground/water pollution and massive carbon releases into the environment may be accelerating this shift.
UN process is akin to a group of people debating how to put out a fire in the most economical fashion as the house is burning to the ground. Pathetic leadership on so many levels.
Since the global temperature has changed nothing at all during the last two decades, it is especially important to now abolish all rocket launchers since they spew out gasses which contribute to this catastrophic non-change in the global temperatures. The green movement, a mixture of islamists and climate change believers, require that all astronomy and space flight is abolished immediately. Can you imagine how many poor animals must be killed in order to build one of them rockets?
Someone forgot to take their anti-delusional medicine today.
Lets see now. The temperature hasn't increased at all since the late 1990's. Is that true or not? Do I know that, or do I not know that? Has CO2-emissions increased exponentially during a few decades without any effect at all on the global temperature? Should we learn from what is actually happening in reality, or should we deny the reality and instead only focus on repeating failed religious political dogma?
Can anything happen which could make you change your opinion about "the climate panic"? What if the temperature didn't increase at all for another quarter of a century, would that possibly affect your judgement on the topic? Or is it a religious "truth" for you which cannot change no matter whatever happens?
The climate panic people propose to abolish all energy production, abolish all industry, abolish all transportation ,abolish all agriculture. They claim that there are too many human beings alive and promise to change that, one way or another. It is an ancient christian tradition, this thing with doomsday persons who define everything which is good, as evil. According to them it is evil that human beings are alive and transform nature to a nice inhabitable place.
Do they really know what they want?
Government tortured Jesus to death. And the believers think that was good. They like to think of themselves as sheep. You see, it is the conclusion which is constant for the slaves: destruction and death. Whether they motivate that constant conclusion with the Bible or with false climate panic about the non-warming climate, doesn't matter. They only care about the conclusion, which is slavery, to be slaves, to hate life and go for destruction and death. "Sacrifice" as they themselves call that concept.
FarAwayLongAgo thinks everything is a fraud.
I personally put climate science deniers on the same level as moon hoax conspiracy theorists, homeopathy enthusiasts, and anti-vaccination nutters, and just a small step above those people who think world leaders are reptile aliens in disguise.

I`m a teacher. I teach children and I like it. But at the same time I`m a class mistress. There are 25 pupils in my class, 25 children. They are so different these boys and girls; they have different appearance, tastes, hobbies… Sometimes they are too naughty, sometimes – too selfish and stubborn. But at the same time they are talented, clever and helpful, I like being their class mistress.
she is very good at English. Sveta has a keen sense of justice.
There is a company of four girls: Tanya, Julia, Olga and Victoria. They are true friends; they are devoted to each other, though they are very different. Tanya is optimistic and merry. Julia – a bit shy, but romantic. Olga is creative and sympathetic. Victoria is reserved; she is interested in many things, e. g. drawing and biology.
Igor is not very good at school and sometimes gets bad marks, but he has some other talents: he can play the piano and the violin well. He is also good at break dancing.
So these are my pupils, my children. As you can see they are really very different and have weak points and strong points. But I like them, I love them, I adore them!


The iPhone has such a good reputation for maintaining security against malicious software that the Apple App Store makes no virus or malware removal tools available. Yet, not all apps are safe to use. Spyware is software that collects personal data from a device without a user's consent. Although you currently have no way to use an app to scan for spyware, you have a few basic detection methods to determine if your phone is at risk. If you suspect a recently installed app of being spyware, uninstall it immediately.
Charge your iPhone fully, and leave it inactive for a few hours. If the battery life drops significantly, spyware may be active on your device. Programs running in the background require power. If your battery is draining faster than it should, this can be an indicator of spyware.
Monitor your phone bill. If spyware is sending information from your phone, this will reflect as an increase in data transfer on your monthly bill.
Watch for the GRPS/3G icon. This icon routinely appears when you connect to the Internet. Seeing this icon appear when you are not using your iPhone to go online shows that some other program, such as active spyware, may be accessing the Internet.
Shut down your iPhone. If your device is slow to shut down or does not shut down at all, this could indicate that you have active spyware. This is similar to shutting down a personal computer when you have other programs open.

Australian-funded aerial surveillance closes fisheries 'gaps'
Category: Pacific/Regional News
By Giff Johnson - For Variety
MAJURO — Pacific islands continue closing gaps in monitoring, control and surveillance of commercial tuna fishing in the region — with Australia playing an important role in the expanding surveillance program.
The challenge is simple: Pacific island nations cover millions of square miles of ocean with only a handful of patrol boats to enforce fisheries rules. The result: An ongoing and significant level of illegal fishing that is estimated to cost the islands hundreds of millions of dollars a year in lost revenue.
Tevita Tupou, coordinator of the Forum Fisheries Agency's Regional Aerial Surveillance Program, explained it this way: Marshall Islands waters are three times the size of the American state of Texas. And the Marshall Islands has one patrol boat. That's one police car to monitor all of Texas.
Now, with Australian funding, aerial surveillance of Pacific waters is expanding to its highest level ever. Friday, in Majuro, Marshall Islands Fisheries Minister Dennis Momotaro and Forum Fisheries Agency Director General Dr. Manu Tupou-Roosen signed the first aerial surveillance cooperation agreement — the first of what Tupou-Roosen anticipates will soon be 15 agreements as all island members come on board for use of the new fisheries aerial surveillance program.
"I'm grateful to President Hilda Heine, Minister Momotaro and the government here for its continued support to FFA and the region," said Tupou-Roosen. "It sets the scene for other FFA countries coming on board (to access) this platform for aerial surveillance."
On top of the 300 hours of aerial surveillance provided during four regional fisheries surveillance operations that happen annually, the new Australian-funded program is providing 15 FFA island member nations with 1,400 hours of additional aerial surveillance with two aircraft.
Tupou and Steve Masika, the Aerial Surveillance Planning Officer, were in Majuro for the past week developing details of the fisheries monitoring program with Marshall Islands Marine Resources Authority Director Glen Joseph and fisheries department staff.
The additional aerial surveillance started as a pilot project in December 2017. As of March 1, it becomes a 1,400-hour per year aerial surveillance program managed by FFA, said Tupou. He described this as a "long-term commitment" by Australia to fisheries surveillance, which also includes provision of patrol boats to FFA members and information sharing and coordination. The aerial surveillance program will be using two King Air aircraft that are being hired from a U.S.-based company.
"The difference between the 300 hours of aerial surveillance provided by our 'quad' partners — Australia, New Zealand, United States and France — and the 1,400 hours is that FFA members determine where this aerial surveillance will be," Tupou said. "When the plane is here (by Marshall Islands request), it is a Marshall Islands asset."
Tupou added: "We are going out to all FFA members to ensure they fully understand this opportunity."
Joseph said the visiting FFA team briefed the cabinet, and met with Sea Patrol, Customs, Immigration and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as part of its outreach. "The aim is to make the process work smoothly," said Tupou.
"We welcome Australia's contribution to security in the region," said Joseph. "This program adds value (to ongoing monitoring, control and surveillance work)."

Magazine - Baywatch Star Donna D'Errico Knows Joining OnlyFans May Upset Some People: 'I Don't Care'
Baywatch Star Donna D'Errico Knows Joining OnlyFans May Upset Some People: 'I Don't Care'
D'Errico calls out what she sees as the hypocrisy of people praising celebrity nudes on Instagram and Twitter as body positive, but if it's OnlyFans, "she's gross and hard up."
OnlyFans can add one more "Baywatch" alum to its ranks as Donna D'Errico has decided to follow Carmen Electra's lead by setting up her own page — and she doesn't care what anyone thinks.
The actress explained with a post on Instagram that appeared to have two motivations. First, obviously, she wanted to promote the fact that she is setting up shop on the platform that's become known for unfiltered — and sometimes NSFW — content from celebs and non-celebs alike.

Second, she decided to preemptively strike against all those who would criticize her, defending her decision to join the platform, which she described as similar to other platforms except there is "no censorship, and no bullying/haters."
Before even teasing what kind of content she was going to feature, D'Errico called out what she sees as the hypocrisy of responses to what's basically the same content, depending on where it's shared.
"All these celebs posting nude and topless pics of themselves here on IG and Twitter all the time covering their important bits with their hands. Boom, thousands of likes & comments talking about body positivity and confidence and empowerment and you go girl! Hot!" she wrote.

"But take that same photo of that same celeb and put it on OF where she can control who sees it and now she's gross and hard up. People kill me."
She went on to say that there is a perception that the only thing happening on OnlyFans is "raunchy stuff," thus, "if anyone from decent society dared to start an account there, they could pretty much kiss their reputation and maybe even their job goodbye."
Her post was accompanied by a slideshow of the exact types of pictures she's talking about. In one, she's in a swimsuit and in the other she's topless, covering herself with her hands. It's also the kind of content the 54-year-old beauty has been known for almost since she joined Instagram. So what will change on OnlyFans?

Truthfully, it looks like nothing much. After defending the freedoms that the platform allows content creators, D'Errico then made it clear that while she could go fully nude, she has no intention of doing so.
"What you will see: Bikini and lingerie modeling pics, outtakes from magazine editorials, me doing funny things in bikinis because I have such an incredible sense of humor yet am also so humble, new and vintage bts photos & videos, and whatever else I decide I want to post," she wrote.
"What you will not see: My hoo-ha," she wrote, adding perhaps even more importantly, "What I don't want to see: Your manhood."
She also clarified that she will be running her account herself and that she'll see if she has fun with it. "If it gets to be too much to handle on my own, I'll just shut it down."
She then ended her note with a cheeky, "Form an orderly queue, gents ❤." You can check out her full message, and the accompanying images, below.

The maximum service temperature for PVC is 140°F (60°C). The physical properties of PVC can be readily altered by the addition of plasticizers, impact modifiers and other ingredients to develop and enhance specific properties.
Type I rigid PVC is a high corrosion resistant material with normal impact properties and is used where chemical attack is the major concern.
Type II is an impact modified formula, which increases the ability of the material to withstand shock or impact, but will have lower chemical resistance relative to Type I. Physical properties of rigid PVC generally conform to ASTM-D-1784 (ISO 1163).

Laura Sue Dansby
Laura Sue Dansby, of Fowlerville Michigan, passed away on September 21, 2021 at age 76. "Susie" was born in Lansing, Michigan in 1945 to Gerald and Laura Douglas. She grew up in Webberville on a dairy farm and graduated from Webberville High School. She married the love of her life, Bruce Dansby, in August 1963 and moved to Williamston where Bruce was a hired hand with his father on the Wil-Ru Farm. Then they moved to Mason to take a position at Lewvina Farm and raised their three sons there.
Bruce and Susie bought their own farm in Fowlerville Michigan in 1989, and with their sons, ran a beautiful purebred Holstein Dairy until 2009 when the farm switched over to crop farming. Susie worked on the farm and at Dart Bank and Lloyd Miller & Sons to help support the farm in addition to being a wife, mother, and grandmother.
She was very active in the Ladies Ministry and Children's Program at Vantown Community Church. She was married there, celebrated her 50th wedding anniversary there, and will have her funeral reception there. She loved children both at church and her own grandchildren, whom she helped raise, and was an unbelievably generous and loving Grandmother. She was the heart and soul of her family and the sweetest person that anyone could ever meet with the patience and compassion of a saint. She spent her life in the service of others.
Her memory is cherished by her loving husband Bruce Dansby of 58 years, her sons: Jeffrey (Bonnie) Dansby, Timothy (Deb) Dansby, and John (Janna) Dansby, her grandchildren: Savannaugh, Shailynn, Gage, Benjamin, and Nicholas, her step-grandchildren: Parker and Presley, great step-grandchild: Blakeleigh Rose, and her brothers: Don (Lorna) Douglas, Keith (Judy) Douglas, Kaye (Marilynn) Douglas, and Warren (Ida) Douglas.

Her parents moved from Royal Oak to the Milford area where she would graduate and meet her husband, Arthur Buell. They married and would begin their life devoted to each other and their family on a farm in Webberville, MI. It didn't take long for this city girl to turn country, as she liked to share with people, because she easily fit into her life doing farm chores and fieldwork, all while maintaining the home and caring for their three children. She was a gifted crafter, crocheting afghans and doilies and always to perfection.To support her community, she served on the election board for several years for Conway Township. Her claim to fame until the year of her death was mowing her two acres of lawn with a John Deere zero-turn mower that her husband gifted her, in exchange for the diamonds he offered her first. She was generous and kind-hearted, and was still welcoming new neighbors to the neighborhood as recently as last week.
Her true joy was her complete devotion to her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren,and great-great-grandchildren, where there was no limit to her love. Left to cherish her memory are: her daughter Vicki Buell, her son Scott (Ronda) Buell, and son-in-law Michael Dietz; her grandchildren: Kim Copeland, Jodi (Daniel) Conley, Andy (Heidi) Dietz, Leigh Ann (Steven) Halas, Gregory (Lisa) Buell, and Diana Buell-Fussell, Shawna Freeman (Mitch); her great-grandchildren: Zach Copeland (Rebecca Lezzotte); EJ Copeland (Kaileen LeBlanc);Makenzie (Adam) Roy; Ian, Isaac, and Rowan Conley; Anna and Michael Dietz; Rory Halas; Rebecca, Antonio and Armando Buell; Nathaniel and Nevaeh Buell-Fussell, Seth Buell; and her great-great grandchildren: June and Louis Roy.

Beth Ann Sperry
October 11, 1978—August 30, 2021
Beth Ann Sperry (Humrich), 42, passed away August 30, 2021, in Jacksonville, Florida from metastatic breast cancer. She handled her illness with poise and grace.
Beth grew up in Fowlerville, Michigan and attended Eastern Michigan University where she earned a Bachelor's degree in Special Education in 2001. She moved to California in 2002 and completed her Master's degree in Education in 2006 at San Diego State University. After six years in California, Beth moved to Lakeland, FL where she met her future husband, Ben Sperry. They married on March 16, 2012, in Ponte Vedra, FL. Their son Casen was born in February 2013, and daughter Cali was adopted in December 2017.
Beth taught ESE for 21 years, half of her life. She spent most of her years teaching Kindergarten and ESE, inspiring countless students, and fellow teachers who have shared that she touched every heart she encountered. "Just her presence made our lives a little bit brighter each and every time we saw her."
One of her students, Sarriah, recently wrote, "Look where I am now…8th Grade! Because of you. You helped me become a better person, helped me be respectful….I love you Mrs. Sperry, you were my favorite teacher…thank you for your time with us."
Beth's love of children and teaching came second only to the love she had for her family. She enjoyed spending quality time with her family, hunting for shark's teeth at the beach, exploring new hiking trails, doing yoga, visiting the mountains, and crafting.
Beth is remembered with love by her husband, Ben Sperry (Jacksonville, FL), children Casen and Cali Sperry, parents Marv and Jean Humrich (Webberville, MI) and Diane Comstock (Jacksonville, FL), sister Alane Humrich (Gainesville, FL), Kathleen and Peter Munson (Lakeland, FL), Charles and Joan Sperry (Saginaw, MI), Josh and Tiffany Sperry (Tampa, FL), and a host of other family members and friends.
Beth had such a beautiful and gentle presence. She was an incredible mother, wife, daughter, sister, friend, and teacher and truly an extraordinary and authentic human being. She exemplified love, patience, kindness, and compassion in every thought, word, and action. The world was a better place with her in it, because of her genuine love for others and our natural world. Her light will shine on forever in her children and all who knew and loved her.
A private memorial will be held at a later date. Donations in Beth's memory may be made to METAvivor, the sole U.S. organization dedicated to awarding annual stage 4 breast cancer research.

Ida B. (Pat) Spalding
Ida B. (Pat) Spalding, age 88, of Fowlerville passed from this life into the arms of Jesus on September 7, 2021.
Pat was born in Manton, Michigan on August 12, 1933.
She grew up in Shaftsburg under the care of foster parents John and Lelia Shorna on their farm. Pat graduated from Perry High School in 1952 where she was active in 4-H and the band.
Pat was retired from Bent Tube in Fowlerville. She was also a past president of the Michigan Lupus Foundation for many years.
Pat was loved by many and she will remain in our hearts forever!
She was preceded in death by her husband Ted Spalding Sr, infant son David, and dear brother Ernie Winegarden.
She is survived by her three children: Ted (Sue) Spalding Jr, Kim (Judy) Sandin, and Shay (David) Gaffey.

Great grandchildren: Stephanie, Sophia, Sara, Andrew, Luke, Abby, Lydia, Justin, Joel, Renae, Joey, Molli, Patrick, Joseph, Maggie, Deone, and Lexxi.
Pat loved all animals, especially dogs. She was a friend to many and always had a kind word for everyone. She loved to play cards, family gatherings, and all people.
This is written by her granddaughter, Kristy Placido. It sums up what a wonderful person she was:
"If you knew my Gram, you were a lucky person. Always sharp, classy, smart, witty, and fun. She was quick with a smile, ready with a joke, and loved a little gossip. You never had to wonder if she loved you and she'd defend her family and friends unrelentingly. She had a forgiving spirit and didn't carry bitterness in spite of some bad hands she had been dealt. She was not just my Grandma, she was a lifelong friend and confidant. She was a co-conspirator and always made a little mischief feel like big fun. I know she made her first stop to the Rainbow Bridge to pick up Coco and Hailey and now she is dancing pain-free in heaven, cackling with all her girlfriends! I hope Johnny Carson's in heaven because I know she'd love to meet him! Love you forever, my sweet Gram… until we meet again."
The family thanks Todd Walter and all the staff at Crosaires AFC home in Williamston for their care and kindness.
Donations in Pat's honor are requested to the
Crosaires Foundation

Livingston Centre Historic Village hosting annual Fall Fest Sept. 11
The Livingston Centre Historic Village, inside the Fowlerville Fairgrounds, will be hosting the annual Fall Fest this coming Saturday, Sept. 11, 10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Ample on-site parking included in the admission price of $5 (adults) or $1 (17 and younger).
This event will delight the entire family. There will be craft and food vendors, Barrel Train Rides, Kids' Games, Wagon Rides, as well as Live Entertainment, including a local Tarot Card Reader. The model train inside the Pere Marquette Depot will be running throughout the day to delight train lovers of all ages. The annual Raffle will be held at the close of that day, with handmade quilts as first and second prizes.
Tours of the eight buildings that make up the Historic Village will be continual throughout the day and are offered as part of the admission fee. Some tours will be self-guided like the 1910 Hartland Barber Shop and the 1870 Clinton Shoe Repair & Harness Shop from Pinckney, moved to the Village in 1991 and 1992, respectively.
Other structures will have docents that can share the stories of these artifacts of Livingston County. This includes the Kirkland House, built in 1859 for the George Kirkland family, and donated by George Kirkland III in 1990. The Kirkland house has been undergoing repairs for several years, courtesy of the annual fundraisers---and successful because of generous area residents
The Fall Fest benefits the care and restoration of the historic buildings, all of which are found inside the Village at the Fowlerville Fairgrounds.
Volunteers are still needed to assist in many different roles. Please consider helping to make this day a success; training is available on site. For more information, call Matt D. at 517-294-6710
The Coughran School will be open during Fall Fest.

If the skies are clear, the Capital City Sky Divers will join the activities with a parachute jump.
For those interested, camping is allowed at the airport on Friday and Saturday nights.
A special plaque will be on display at the building where the breakfast is served, honoring the late Jack Sherwood who passed away last year. The Sherwood family has hosted the event since the airport opened in 1970 and Dawn Patrol was relocated there. Previously, it was held at Newton Field on Sargent Road.

Carol M. Butler
December 23, 1960 - August 28, 2017
Carol Marie Butler of Portland, TN went to be with her Lord on August 28th after a hard-fought battle with cancer. She was born in Toledo, OH to Esther and Albert Butler on December 23, 1960. She is survived by five brothers: Ron and his wife Linda, David and his wife Sue, Jim and his wife Carla, Tim and his wife Kristie, Mike, and an adopted brother, Keith. She had Thirteen nieces and nephews and nine grand nieces and nephews. All of her family was devoted to their favorite aunt and sister as she was to them. Carol served her Lord through Immanuel Baptist Church, Portland, TN in many capacities, usually in ministries involving children. She taught Sunday School for more than 20 years.
She was never married but she made family instead of friends. Carol loved working in her garden, especially with her flowers, and taking care of all of her adopted animals. She was a faithful employee of Walmart for 35 years.
Visitation will be Friday, September 1, 2017, 11am-8pm at Immanuel Baptist Church, 751 Scattersville Rd in Portland. A second visitation will be held Saturday, September 2, 2017, 11am-1pm at Union Chapel General Baptist Church, 1125 College St in Portland, where funeral services will follow at 1pm. Interment will follow services at the Immanuel Baptist Cemetery, Portland.
Offer Condolence for the family of Carol M. Butler
Sue Carr says
I knew Carol when I worked at Walmart several years ago. She was a fine person and a hard worker.
Rebecca Groves says
My prayers to the family of this very special lady. I remember what a wonderful softball player she was and how she was all ways so kind.
Betty S Bonham says
Glad I got to visit tonight to see brothers and of course WalMart coworkers. I enjoyed the video. Carol didn't change looks from childhood to the great lady she was.
Myrna K Alexander says
A true and faithful friend.
Mike Pennington says
Carol was a precious friend and fellow servant of the Lord. We worked together in the Bledsoe Baptist Toy Store. She had such a great heart for ministry to children. I always looked forward to seeing her when I visited or preached at Immanuel Baptist Church. She will be dearly missed. I'm praying for all the family because I know this hurts them a great deal.
Wayne and Sandy says
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Butler family. Sorry we can't make the services, but know that our hearts are there. We'll keep you in our hearts, thoughts, and prayers.
Stephanie Lee says
You will be so very missed. We love you.


Is a Trust Safe In Bankruptcy?
I have debt as an individual. I also have a trust that has assets and no liabilities. My wife is the trustee. If I file bankruptcy as an individual, can they attach the assets of the trust?
I bet your question will immediately anger and frustrate people who believe everyone should pay back all debt they voluntarily accumulate. I know you are just asking a question, but as you can imagine, most people will not receive assets from a trust. To see someone trying to keep the good (trust assets) and eliminate the bad (debt) sounds like, well … most U.S. corporations.
Getting off my soapbox, this is a nonissue much of the time. While I cannot speak to your particular case or all types of trusts, I can say that you must confirm who controls the trust assets before you file.
Control of the assets is critical. When you file bankruptcy, a trustee is assigned to your bankruptcy case to look for assets that you own. For example, you have control over your home, checking and savings accounts, investment accounts and cars. These are some of the more common assets a trustee can take when you are not able to protect them. The trustee can take any assets that cannot be protected (or in bankruptcy terms "exempted"), sell those assets and use the sale proceeds to pay your creditors.
So you will need to determine if the trust is revocable or irrevocable.
FREE TOOL: Make sure there are no mistakes on your credit report. Get your report for free at myBankrate.
If you have a revocable trust, the person waiting to receive something from the trust (called a trust beneficiary) does not immediately control those assets.
Even though you state that your wife is the trustee, she might be the successor trustee of a revocable trust. Only when the grantor, or creator, of the trust dies does she become the trustee; she has no rights to do anything with the assets until that time.
Prior to death, the grantor of a revocable trust has complete control over all trust assets. This means that until the grantor dies, he or she can do whatever he or she wants to with the assets. The beneficiaries can't say or do anything to control the assets or influence the grantor's activities.
Once the grantor dies, the trust may now become assets of the beneficiaries. There may be some provisions in place restricting access, but the death of the grantor generally means the beneficiaries now have a legal claim to the trust.
The other common type of trust is an irrevocable trust. It cannot be changed or terminated without the permission of the beneficiaries. With irrevocable trusts, the grantor has transferred assets into the trust and effectively withdrawn his or her rights of ownership to those assets. Beneficiaries may not be able to immediately access the trust, but each beneficiary has a legal right to some portion of those assets.
As with everything, there may be exceptions allowing you to still file bankruptcy and protect the trust. For example, a "spendthrift" provision may limit creditor claims to trust assets even when the trust is irrevocable or the grantor has died.
If the trust has several beneficiaries, it can become an even thornier issue if you decide to file.
You must know all this information well before filing bankruptcy. The assets definitely can be at risk if you file a personal Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
You should also consider why you want to file bankruptcy. Bankruptcy is used as a way to help those who face financial hardship due to myriad issues. With a trust in the picture, it seems like financial hardship might not be at play here.

In a major departure from my usual routine, I've just been to Brisbane for three days of professional development. Three days away from my desk, in the company of clever, passionate colleagues working hard to advance the profession of editing. It was invigorating, challenging and fabulous.
And, oh! I didn't have to make my own lunch. And there was morning and afternoon tea! Heaven.
I attended the 8th biennial Institute of Professional Editors (IPEd) conference.
My first priority was hearing about thesis editing, so I attended a half-day workshop and three presentations, including a panel discussion. A series of themes emerged, notably the need to update IPEd's guidelines for editing research theses. The guidelines prohibit 'substantive editing' of theses, as outlined in the Australian standards for editing practice. But there are very fine lines between 'copyediting', 'heavy editing' and 'substantive editing' – for both professional editors and their clients!
The guidelines also advise editors to return edited theses in PDF or hard copy. Only a tiny portion of delegates did this. Like me, everyone else returned Word documents containing tracked changes.
IPEd is setting up a panel to look into the issue, and it's my strong hope that they'll include the views of people who contract editors, especially PhD advisers and heads of faculties at Australian universities.
More on the IPEd conference in later posts.


In addition to a much higher upload limit, upgraded plans also have the ability to invite team members to use their Prevue account. Team members can be added and managed through the Your Team tab within your Settings.
Accounts that have this feature enabled will be able to manage and subscribe new members from this tab. Additional team members can join eligible accounts by visiting a custom signup page, see below.
Through your team settings, you'll see an section for inviting your team. Simply share the URL provided, or email an invitation by entering one or more email addresses (comma separated) into the form.
When someone gets an invitation they'll be able to create their own username under your account, and set their own password.
Once the team member has successfully registered to your account, they'll be able to use the same login page as you. The new member will also get an email containing their login details.
Team members can see most things that you (the administrator) can, and will be able to upload and edit images, projects and groups in the exact same way. However, team members cannot access account-sensitive information, Project Settings or logo settings.
You can remove a team member by pressing the 'Remove' link, which is revealed when you hover a person within Your Team settings. Doing so will instantly log that person out of your account, and you'll be credited with another team invitation. Removed team members will remain in your settings, and can be re-activated at any time (see below). Similarly, team members can delete their own account from their own Settings. When a team member is removed, or deletes their own account, their images and projects remain in the library.
When an account has more than one team member (e.g. you plus one other) — it is possible for the administrator to leave the account entirely. If the administrator deletes their own account, administrative privileges will be passed to the next available team member. If you would prefer for this not to happen, you must remove all other team members before finally removing your own account.
What happens when my team account expires?
If your upgraded plan expires (i.e. after your subscription period), you'll be automatically moved back to a Basic plan which doesn't allow for team accounts. If you have active team accounts when this occurs, those accounts will become suspended. If you choose to renew your plan, those accounts will be instantly renewed.

Quote of the Day: Eddie Murphy – 'Delirious' and 'Raw'
April 3, 2018 Paul Stroessner	Leave a comment
There's something about the ice cream truck that makes kids lose it. And they can hear that shit from ten blocks away. They don't hear their mothers calling but they hear that motherfucking ice cream truck.
[After Bill Cosby called Eddie to complain about bad language in Eddie's act]
Richard [Pryor] said, "The next time the motherfucker call, tell him I said, "Suck *my* dick." I don't give a fuck. Whatever the fuck make the people laugh, say that shit. Do the people laugh when you say what you say?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Do you get paid?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Well, tell Bill I said have a Coke and a smile and shut the fuck up. Jello pudding-eating motherfucker."
Happy 57th birthday to Eddie Murphy!!!

Actually, anything could happen whether we let go or not. It is an illusion that as long as we cling to the situation we have some control…Surrender means accepting our powerlessness to change many of the realities in our lives…It means trusting instead in a Power greater than ourselves. Faith has been likened to being in a dark tunnel and seeing no glimmer of light but still crawling forward as if we did.
"Moving toward the light…" I really love the sound of those words. What could be darker than watching my daughter self-destruct over the course of fifteen years? How have I learned to "dance in the rain," even as she has continued to slip away?
My resistance training at the gym has shown me that pain comes from putting resistance on the force exerted, and that has served me in strengthening my body. But my spiritual life demands just the opposite. My strong will and determination to save Angie from drug addiction was instinctive; it would be counterintuitive NOT to step in and interfere in my child's self-destruction.
But once I became educated about the nature of addiction as a brain disease, I realized that other than offering my love and emotional support, there was very little I could do. I did send her to four rehabs, which bought her some time. But once or twice would have been enough to show her the tools of recovery. At what point do we need to make our adult children responsible for their own recovery from this cunning disease?
I will let go of my strong will to save Angie and trust that God has a bigger plan. I have faith that things are unfolding as they are meant to—and in God's time. In my view, faith and acceptance go hand in hand.

"Giving up," or dropping the ball both have that awful sound of not caring, which is why so many moms, myself included, keep on trying to do anything we can to save our child from the clutches of addiction. But we simply don't have that power. My Angie needs to do whatever is necessary to stop putting drugs into her body. She's not a child; she's 37. Only she has that power. If she had diabetes, she'd need to take her shot; if she had brain cancer, maybe chemo. But because it's drug addiction, so many people see it as a moral failure, and feel no sympathy or compassion. Our addicts are pushed off into the fringes of society and we are powerless to bring them back. This is why I "let go and let God;" it's the only way I can get my life back and enjoy my other loved ones. They need me as well. Blessings to you and your Ming. Like me, I hope you can learn to dance in the rain.

'Draft Day' a last-round pick that you can skip
Bill Goodykoontz
Kevin Costner made a name for himself in such sports movies as "Bull Durham" and "Field of Dreams."
He won an Oscar for directing "Dances with Wolves," which also won best picture. But if it hadn't been for Crash Davis tearing up the minor leagues in "Bull Durham," it's hard to imagine him even getting the chance to make that movie.
So, to audiences of a certain age (the age where you start to get AARP invitations in the mail), the thought of Costner making another sports movie, despite the occasional clunker like "For Love of the Game," is an appealing one. But "Draft Day" is a rather dismal affair that leads one to believe that, like some presents on Christmas, the wanting of something is better than the getting of it.
Costner is no longer of an age to play the athlete; instead, he's transitioned into management — a believable move. That's not the problem with "Draft Day." A dopey romance shoehorned into what's supposed to be a drama about the busiest business day of the NFL season is part of what's wrong, but so is a level of incredulity that even non-fans of the sport will sniff out.
Ivan Reitman, who directed "Stripes" and "Ghostbusters," for goodness' sake, seems a little adrift with the script, written by Scott Rothman and Rajiv Joseph. Then again, who wouldn't be?
Costner plays Sonny Weaver Jr., the general manager of the Cleveland Browns. This is the first NFL draft he's directed for the team; so far he's known mostly for firing his own father, a legendary coach of the Browns.
So a lot is riding on draft day for Sonny, which makes it a bad time for everyone in his life to bring personal issues to the table. One can't be helped, but is treated in odd fashion. Another is ridiculous on its face. Meanwhile Sonny is going back and forth with other general managers around the league, trying to come up with the best deal for his team.
In the course of the day he will — spoiler alert for anyone who has never seen a single sports movie in the history of cinema — go from goat to hero. He will also try to come to terms with his secret girlfriend, Ali (Jennifer Garner), who is the team's salary cap expert. And he will deal with his mother, Barb (Ellen Burstyn), try not to alienate his quarterback (Tom Welling), tick off his new coach (Denis Leary) and infuriate and delight his owner (Frank Langella).
All in a day's work. Draft day's work.
The NFL is a pop-culture phenomenon. It's huge. So it's not surprising that we would have a movie not just about the sport but about the process of it. A documentary about the goings-on of a real draft day would be dynamite.
This, alas, is not that. Costner works hard, and it shows. That's even more true of Leary. Garner's stuck in a thankless role. Only Langella seems to be having unencumbered fun.
Sadly, we aren't. As with real-life misfires Ryan Leaf or Brian Bosworth, "Draft Day" is a bust.
