Drake is definitely a member of the Beyhive.
Drake is one of the biggest artists globally. In fact, it's hard to find another artist that can possibly be bigger than Drake himself. Well, there are a few however, Drake is definitely up there. The Toronto rapper recently posted a picture of the home studio in his apartment where many active members of the Beyhive picked up on the fact that he has a massive poster of Beyonce on his wall.
Drake and his OVO artist, Baka, posted pictures to their Instagram promoting Baka's upcoming project 4 Milli. However, that clearly wasn't the focal point of this. As the picture hit the gram, many people on social media had picked up that he had a massive 6 foot tall poster of Beyonce. Realistically, it's pretty hard to spot if you're just skimming through but you know Beyonce fans, they are detail oriented.
One keen Twitter user's eye had picked up on the fact that he had it hanging on the left-side of the wall. She posted the picture of Beyonce on the poster, next to Drake's Instagram post. "Drake has a 6 foot Beyoncé portrait in his recording studio." they tweeted.
He has already made it quite clear that he is also a member of the Beyhive when he dropped "Girls Love Beyonce" in 2013. The two later collaborated on Beyonce's "Mine." While his music has also been a solid blend of R&B and hip hop, there's no doubt that Beyonce has had an influence on him as well. Plus, it's Beyonce, there's really no need to explain why you have a poster of her in your home.
In all honesty, this is far from out of character of Drake and potentially one of his more tame homages to an icon. He's previously been seen with portraits of Rihanna, Lil Wayne and Sade inked up on his body. While we have yet to see a Beyonce tattoo, it wouldn't be surprising to see him rocking her face on his arm at some point.


checkout review of our Igloo Mash Tun here by 52brews.
Great mash tun! Great price! Fast shipping!
After lots of research looking for a igloo or Rubbermaid mash tun with all the parts I needed, this site is by far the cheapest. Don't wast your time trying to piece it together either Learntobrew is still the cheapest price.
Held heat for the entire 60 minute mash. I wrapped the fiitings with a kitchen towel and tin foil. I used a 6.5 gallon bucket lid wrapped in tin foil and placed it on top of the mash to reduce heat loss through the top. I lost less than half a degree after 60 minutes. Would have rated it 5 stars but no assembly instructions were included. I had to look them up online.
I retract my last review - product is great, as-is. For the newbie's like me, the false bottom fits like a bowl would if you placed it at the bottom of the cooler upside down (opening facing bottom). The suction tube sits on top and aside from the small task of having to cut it to length, works great. Found it easiest to assemble everything, then drop the bottom in and leave the clamp for the fitting that connects to the valve loose so you can tighten the threaded portion by hand. then you can tighten the last clamp.
Don't go cheap and get brass fittings - these stainless fittings rock!!!
Hard to go wrong with an Igloo cooler and the fittings for the ball valve / thermo were installed well and are leak free. However, I may be too picky but the false bottom rigging needs some help. Being a rookie to AG brewing, I can only go by what I've read - the false bottom should fit snuggly against the sides - it doesn't. And the drain in the false bottom is centered which works but the false bottom is allowed to rock from side to side instead of sitting flat on the bottom. I've got a larger mash tun that has 3 legs on the false bottom for stability and fits the pot tightly. I improvised, using 3 nylon bolt/nuts to make 'legs' and all's good.
Great for first time all-grain brewing. False bottom is definitely better than a manifold or a mesh hose. I got the 6 in thermometer and the hole was pre-drilled for a water-tight seal. Overall happy with the product and fast shipping.

Physiology/Medicine Nobels Awarded for Discoveries of "Natural Products"
In re Roslin Institute, a Fed. Cir. panel consisting of Judges Dyk, Moore and Wallach ruled that clones including Dolly the sheep were not patent eligible. Judge Dyk, writing for the panel endorsed the "markedly different" structure requirement for patent eligibility that the PTO had proposed abandoning in December 2004:
"[According to Chakrabarty], discoveries that possess 'markedly different characteristics from any found in nature,' are eligible for patent protection. In contrast, any existing organism or new discovered plant found in the wild is not patentable."
In Ariosa, Judges Renya, Linn and Wallach turned a method of isolation of cffDNA into a "natural product":
"The method therefore begins and ends with a natural phenomenon. Thus the claims are directed to matter that is naturally occurring….Because the claims at issue are directed to naturally occurring phenomena, …the practice of the method claims does not result in an inventive concept that transforms the natural phenomenon of cffDNA into a patentable invention."
Earlier this week the Nobel prize in Medicine was awarded to three elderly scientists who made discoveries about natural products that saved or improved the lives of millions of people. A Chinese researcher, Youyou Tu, searching for possible malaria treatments found a reference to extracting a drug from sweet wormwood in a sort of "Merck Manual" written in 640 A.D. The resulting purified drug, Aftemisinin, and its derivatives are still used to treat malaria.
The other two researchers, William C. Campbell, then at Merck, and Satoshi Omura also discovered a new class of drugs, the avermectins, that they extracted from a cultered sample of soil Omura randomly collected from a golf course. These bioactive compounds were modified to yield anti-parasitics such as ivermectin, that is effective against Elephantitis and River Blindness, conditions that had rendered parts of Africa uninhabitable.
News reports indicate that the Chinese government was willing to support the search for antimalarials to support military operations in southeast Asia. But would Merck have poured millions of dollars into developing drugs to treat such rare diseases with no chance of recovering their costs? (Merck received US patent no. 4310519 on antiparasitic compounds obtained by fermenting the microorganism the Omura found.)
Intellectual property law setting forth the metes and bounds of the patent-eligibility of natural products is at a tipping point, with at least four Judges willing to create a "judicial exception" to patent-eligibility for products of nature, even if they are identified, then purified and isolated to the point where they exhibit practical utility. It is one thing to say that a mineral found in the earth, or a plant discovered in the jungle should not be patent eligible, but the limits of the "judicial activism" in this area just have to stop.
Maybe the ACLU can step in to support patenting for once – remember Chris Hansen's answer to Justice Alito's question during oral argument about whether or not a drug present in tiny amounts in a tree should be patentable, so that a patient would not have to eat the entire tree to be treated? Mr. Hansen agreed that the purified drug should be patent-eligible and all but cited In re Bergy. I think the Myriad decision was an insult to chemical patent law, but we should fill in our pro-IP roundtable any way we can.

Cyprus Expat Blogs
By Joshua Wood, LPC
Summary: People describe Nicosia, Cyprus as a vibrant city with a rich cultural heritage. Expats love the city's Mediterranean climate, its diverse population, and its vibrant nightlife. The weather in Nicosia is typically mild, with temperatures ranging from the mid-50s to the mid-70s Fahrenheit. The average cost of living for an expat is around $1,500 to $2,000 per month. The cost of a one bedroom apartment is typically around $500 to $700 per month, while a two bedroom apartment can cost anywhere from $700 to $1,000 per month. The approximate population of Nicosia is around 330,000 people.
What do I need to know about living in Nicosia?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Nicosia, they said:
"Think about why you are coming here, and if you want to do it and want to contribute to Cyprus - Welcome! There's lots of positives about the place for people who are seeking a better life than suburban England or America," added another person living in Nicosia.
How do I meet people in Nicosia?
When we asked people living in Nicosia about club and activities where newcomers can meet others, they responded:
"Anglican Church Ladies Guild (for older women 45+), Birdlife Cyprus (for environmentalists), School PTA (for parents), University groups (for younger people)," explained one expat living in Nicosia.

Will I be able to find a job in Nicosia?
When we asked people about industries and career opportunities in Nicosia, they reponded:
"Nicosia is the capital and seems to thrive on money derived from the UN, EU and expats. Most people find/create jobs through personal initiative. If Cypriot, they get jobs through who they know," added another person living in Nicosia.
What is life like in Nicosia?
When we asked people living in Nicosia what life is like and how people spend their time, they said:
"Cypriot life revolves around family. Beyond that, in Nicosia, it is very materialistic. In the villages, life has a more fundamental quality, still family focused but more associated with culture and what is readily available eg good food, time, tradition," said another expat in Nicosia.
Is there a lot of diversity? Are people in Nicosia accepting of differences?
"City Cypriots are snobs, every one else is there to do them service. All declines in Cypriot society are attributed to the influx of foreigners. However, if you are a foreign investor, money launderer or job provider rather than a maid or other low paid worker, you are welcome and will find somewhere to live, school your kids, etc albeit at exorbitant rates," remarked another in Nicosia.

Sourcing technical talent is growing more and more competitive as companies are fighting for the best candidates. As shown in the Talent Puzzle infographic in Mashable's article, annually, there are 122,300 tech jobs in the US, with only 59,731 computer science graduates.
As a technical recruiter, whether you are retained or contingent, corporate or third party, you need to be on LinkedIn. LinkedIn is overflowing with profiles of technical talent. This talent may not be actively posting resumes or searching for other opportunities, but when it comes down to it, they are often very open to considering an opportunity if it is a good fit for them.
You need to be active on LinkedIn daily, participating in technical groups and connecting with technical talent. Even if someone is not interested in your opportunity, they may know someone who would be. Referrals are key in this business.
Build your network and increase your activity on LinkedIn and overtime you will see your ROI.
Offer mobile solutions to talent. What does your company website look like? Do you offer a mobile app where talent can easily access your job openings and apply with ease?
Technical talent is looking for fast, easy, and tech-savvy ways to do business. The easier you make your advertising and job application process, the more likely you are to receive applications from top technical talent who may not be visible on job boards or via time consuming applications and job posting sites.
Also, discuss with your client how technically advanced their systems are. Do they have mobile access to their databases, ensuring ease of access to their tech employees? Stress the importance of going mobile and how this can be an eye catcher to the top technical talent your client is looking for.
When hunting technical talent, it is important as recruiters that we are flexible and open to new, technological resources. For example, technical talent may be experimenting with video resumes and may be more open to flexible options such as video interviewing. Being able to accept and offer these options will make the application and interview process simpler for technical talent, making you and your client more attractive.
In addition, speak with your client about their offerings to employees regarding work schedules. Top technical talent is highly attracted to flexible work environments that don't require the standard 8 to 5 business hours or face time in the office.
What are some other ways that you attract top talent as a technical recruiter? Please share your tips in the comments below.

Nothing signals the start of Christmas season like a beautiful, towering Christmas tree.
Robinsons Galleria Cebu knows this well, and so the mall has set up its gigantic tree with the theme "Starry Christmas" at its atrium. With the Christmas Tree right in the middle of the mall in everyone's sight, Robinsons Galleria Cebu hopes to inspire shoppers and guests alike that the spirit of Christmas is alive and well in every Cebuano, even in the midst of this pandemic.
The mall's Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony was done on Oct. 8, 2021 4:30 p.m. Shoppers were serenaded to favorite Christmas carols while they witnessed the turnover of donations to the mall's official beneficiary, the residents of Barangay Tejero.
For those who have yet to visit the mall, most especially to buy gifts months in advance to avoid the Christmas rush, they will be delighted to see the Christmas attractions in festive red and gold. The elegant holiday-inspired designs go well with the mall's signature theme.
Focusing on the mall atrium, it is adorned with mini trees, golden deers and sleigh, bright stars, and a life-size cabana—all making for perfect Instagram-worthy backgrounds for Christmas photos with family and friends.
The past couple of years have been a major challenge for everyone because of the pandemic. The simple act of putting up a Christmas tree however, should inspire everyone to remember the life of love and generosity everyone celebrates every year-end.
Robinsons Galleria Cebu is open daily, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Shoppers and guests are required to wear their masks and face shields.
For more holiday offerings and updates, check out Robinsons Galleria Cebu on Facebook and Instagram.

For this Canada Day, here are the ultimate Canadian foods that you must try at least once in your life.
1. Poutine
A post shared by 22 West Tap and Grill (@22westtapandgrill) on Jun 27, 2018 at 10:17am PDT
Naturally, we'll start with poutine, since nothing really gets more Canadian than a bowl of fries with hot gravy and cheese curds. The dish originated from Quebec in the 1950s, and today, it is often identified as 'Canada's national dish.' While the traditional recipe is already delicious, poutine with toppings like pulled pork and bacon are also very popular.
2. Timbits
A post shared by Tim Hortons (@timhortons) on Jul 20, 2016 at 5:30am PDT
Who needs Starbucks when you can get some Timbits and an Iced Capp from our beloved Canadian food chain, Tim Hortons? Timbits are bite-sized fried dough, and they are the perfect sweets for all occasions. Once you put one in your mouth, you won't be able to stop eating. There are also many flavours available.
3. Poutine Râpée
A post shared by Rita Jurkuvenas (@jurkuvenas) on Oct 1, 2015 at 4:45pm PDT
Everyone knows what poutine is, but what about poutine râpée? Poutine râpée is completely different from the fries-and-gravy combination of poutine, and it is a type of boiled dumpling with mashed potato and pork fillings. This traditional Acadian dish is generally regarded as a special occasion meal, and it is popular in many families with French heritage.
4. Tarte Au Sucre
A post shared by L'instant Pâtisserie (@linstant_patisserie) on Dec 2, 2017 at 1:23am PST
Tarte au sucre, also known as sugar pie, is a traditional Quebec specialty. The pie has a single crust filled with brown sugar, vanilla, cream, and sometimes maple syrup. The perfect tarte au sucre should have a jelly-like texture, but still solid enough to slice. It is a delicious treat and a popular holiday dessert in Canada.
5. Maple Syrup
A post shared by Maple From Canada – UK (@maplecanadauk) on May 19, 2018 at 1:07am PDT
Canada is maple syrup, and maple syrup is Canada. And we are talking about actual, real Canadian maple syrup, not the ones you can buy for $1 in grocery stores. According to Statistics Canada, Canada produces 80% of the world's maple syrup. The syrup can be found in ice cream, donuts, pies, and even chicken wings.
6. Tire Sur La Neige
A post shared by @poitevinm on Apr 8, 2018 at 8:34pm PDT
Tire sur la neige is an old-fashioned treat in Quebec, and it is a kind of maple taffy literally made in the snow. To make tire sur la neige, you bring maple syrup to a boil, then pour it in strips over the snow in order to get a taffy-like consistency. It is basically maple syrup in candy form.
7. Windsor-Style Pizza
A post shared by Moe Tousignant (@bigdudelikesfood) on Jun 13, 2018 at 8:28am PDT
Windsorites are as proud of their Windsor-style pizza as Chicagoans are about their Chicago deep dish. Windsor-style pizza is a thick-crust pie baked in a wood-burning stove. It features a spicy-sweet arrabbiata style sauce, shredded pepperoni, and toppings that go on top of the cheese (this is very important). Many Windsorites love to eat it at room temperature.
8. Halifax Donair
A post shared by Blowers & Grafton (@blowersgrafton) on Sep 28, 2017 at 2:53pm PDT
The Halifax donair is Halifax's official snack, and there is even a 24/7 live stream of spinning donair. The sandwich is a pita filled with shaved meat (typically lamb or beef), served with tomatoes and onions (nothing else), and topped with a special house donair sauce. It is a great drunk/hangover food, and you can find many people standing in line at donair shops after a long night out.
9. Garlic Fingers with Donair Sauce
A post shared by culinary cravingz • (@culinarycravingz) on Nov 14, 2017 at 3:47pm PST
Garlic fingers are chewy, cheesy pizza-like strips, and what makes them complete is Halifax's famous donair sauce. They are the perfect option to satisfy your late night snack cravings, and they can also serve as appetizers or party treats.
10. Flapper Pie
A post shared by A Year Of Pie (@yearofpie) on Apr 8, 2018 at 2:31pm PDT
The pie dates back to the 19th century, and it is a true Canadian Prairie classic. The name 'flapper pie' is unique to the Canadian Prairies, and those from Eastern Canada or BC might not know what it is. It is a graham crumb crust pie with a creamy custard filling, then topped with meringue or whipped cream.
11. Saskatoon Berry Pie
A post shared by Svitlana Vyazmina (@wanttocraft) on Mar 14, 2017 at 4:09pm PDT
The Saskatoon berry is a dark, purple berry which can be found in western and central Canada. It is typically used in scones and muffins, but our favourite is the Saskatoon berry pie. With a bit of vanilla ice cream melting on top, it will taste like literal heaven.
12. Jos. Louis
A post shared by Chris Mulligan (@mistermulligan) on Mar 12, 2019 at 1:14pm PDT
Jos. Louis is a delicious mini-size sponge cake, consisting of two red velvet cake rounds with a cream filling in between. It was created in 1932 in Canada by Josef-Arcade Vachon, and it has since become a children's favourite.
13. Tiger Tail Ice Cream
A post shared by Jennifer G (@jennyj3n82) on Jun 13, 2017 at 7:28pm PDT
Tiger tail ice cream is a Canadian favourite and not often found elsewhere. Also known as 'tiger tiger' or 'tiger flavour,' it is a type of orange flavoured ice cream with stripes of black licorice running through it, giving it a tiger tail look.
14. BeaverTails
A post shared by Travel + Food Blogger • Cat (@fortwoplz) on Jun 28, 2018 at 7:47am PDT
A classic BeaverTail is a Canadian pastry made of whole-wheat dough, hand stretched, and shaped like a beaver's tail. It often comes with a choice of sweet toppings like whipped cream, banana slices, chocolate drizzle, or even ice cream. The pastry received national attention when US President Barack Obama purchased one during his visit to Canada in 2009.
15. Tourtiere
A post shared by Centerville Pie Company (@centerville_pie_co) on May 4, 2018 at 2:09pm PDT
Tourtiere is a Canadian meat pie dish originated from Quebec, and it is still a traditional part of Christmas and New Year's Eve meals in Quebec. The pie is usually made with potatoes and a type of meat, such as minced pork, veal, or beef. The best part is that you don't have to fly to Quebec to get a taste of it because it is sold in grocery stores all across Canada.
16. Caesar
A post shared by CaesarCocktails (@caesarcocktails) on Sep 17, 2017 at 10:14am PDT
A Caesar, also known as a 'Bloody Caesar,' is a cocktail that holds a special place in Canadians' hearts. The drink was invented in 1969 by Walter Chell in Calgary when he mixed vodka with clam and tomato juice, Worcestershire sauce, and other spices. Today, over 350 million Caesars are consumed annually, and the classic Caesar has also inspired many modern varieties.
17. Ice Wine
A post shared by Beth Campbell (@global_travel_wine_girl) on Jun 29, 2018 at 9:29am PDT
Although the Germans invented Eiswein, some of the world's best ice wine today is known to come from Canada, especially Ontario. Ice wine is a type of dessert wine, and it is literally made from grapes that are frozen on the vine. It is great on its own after a meal, and you can also try it with a fruity dessert or cheese.
18. California Roll
A post shared by YouTube: Raw Food Romance (@rawfoodromance) on Apr 19, 2018 at 11:09am PDT
You weren't ready for this one, were ya? It is believed that the California Roll we love today started off as the Tojo-maki roll created by Hidekazu Tojo, a Japanese native who moved to Vancouver back in 1971. The modern California roll contains cucumber, crab meat or imitation crab, and avocado.
19. Hawaiian Pizza
A post shared by Navitas (@navitas_safety) on Jun 27, 2018 at 4:05am PDT
People have a love-hate relationship with this one, but did you know Greek Canadian Sotirios Panopoulos created the first Hawaiian pizza in Chatham, Ontario? Hawaiian pizza is a pizza topped with tomato sauce, cheese, pineapple, and ham (or sometimes bacon). Although the great pineapple-on-pizza debate is still ongoing, Hawaiian pizza remains popular around the world.
20. Montreal Bagel
A post shared by Frank And Oak Women (@frankandoakwomen) on Feb 24, 2018 at 6:15am PST
Montreal bagel is a distinctive variety of handmade and wood-fired baked bagel. It is typically sweeter, smaller, and thinner, comparing to New York bagels or East Coast style bagels. It was brought to Canada by Jewish immigrants from Poland and other eastern European countries, and it remains a popular breakfast choice in Montreal.
21. Montreal Smoked Meat
A post shared by JonathansLounge (@jonathanslounge780) on Jun 18, 2018 at 9:12am PDT
It is a type of deli meat product that can go on literally everything. Try it on its own, with cheese, or get one of the Montreal-style smoked meat sandwiches, which is made with rye bread and piled with hand-sliced smoked meat.
22. Ketchup Chips
A post shared by Melissa Verwey (@melissaverwey) on Mar 13, 2018 at 11:54pm PDT
As Canada's signature snack, the crunchy chips are doused in a reddish, ketchup flavoured seasoning. We can all agree that the best ketchup chips are made by Lay's, and they are sold only in Canada. The snack is weirdly addictive, and our American friends have made several attempts at creating a ketchup chip that is as good as our Canadian version (and didn't quite succeed, obvi).
23. Nanaimo Bar
A post shared by Yolanda Gampp (@yolanda_gampp) on Jun 29, 2017 at 9:47am PDT
The Nanaimo bar is a no-bake dessert item, named after the city of Nanaimo, BC. A classic Nanaimo bar consists of three layers: a coconut crumb-base, custard flavoured icing in the centre, and another layer of chocolate.
24. Ginger Beef
A post shared by Hangry Sistas Vancity 👯 (@hangrysistasyvr) on Feb 20, 2018 at 5:18pm PST
This is a Canadian-Chinese dish made from beef, ginger, and a distinctive special sweet sauce. The beef is often stir-fried with carrot and onions, and the dish can be found in many Chinese restaurants all across Canada. It was created during the 1970s by chef George Wong of Calgary, Alberta.
25. Shreddies
A post shared by Shreddies UK & Ireland (@shreddiesuk) on Apr 2, 2018 at 1:33am PDT
Shreddies is a breakfast cereal brand made from whole grain wheat. In Canada, production began in 1939, before branching out to the UK in 1953. It comes in many flavours like chocolate, honey, and banana bread, but nothing beats a bowl of classic Shreddies.
26. Canadian Bacon
A post shared by Chatham Food Store (@chathamfoodstore) on Jun 26, 2018 at 1:21am PDT
Let's be real here — Canadian bacon is the only kind of bacon we Canadians know. Known simply as 'peameal bacon' in Canada, it is a form of bacon that is cured, smoked, fully cooked, and then trimmed into thin slices. It is a ready-to-eat product that will make your eggs benny taste like heaven.
27. Butter Tarts
A post shared by Canadian Living (@canadianliving) on Aug 28, 2016 at 12:19pm PDT
The butter tart is the nation's most iconic dessert tart. A classic butter tart has a filling of butter, sugar, syrup, and egg, all baked in a pastry shell. The modern versions of the tart filling include ingredients that range from bacon to chili.
28. Pemmican
A post shared by pioneer pete (@pete.pioneer) on May 30, 2018 at 5:20pm PDT
Pemmican is a concentrated mixture of fat and protein in solid form, and it was originally an important element of First Nations cuisine. It is basically Canada's original protein bar, and it is considered as one of the best super survival eats. In some cases, dried fruits like berries and cherries are also used.
29. Swiss Chalet Sauce
A post shared by Kendal Malewicz (@therealkendal) on Nov 12, 2016 at 10:48am PST
Don't be fooled by the 'Swiss' in its name, because the brand is 100% Canadian. The chain restaurant, Swiss Chalet, is famous for its roasted chicken and Chalet sauce. The most popular dish on the restaurant's menu is the Quarter Chicken Dinner, which includes a roasted chicken leg or breast with the chalet sauce, a bread roll, and a side dish. The sauce is so good that Lay's even created Chalet sauce flavoured chips.

Bolton Wanderers administration means points deduction for the start of the 2019/20 season
The Trotters' 2019 has been a story of financial woe

Bolton Wanderers have been deducted 12 points for the start of the 2019/20 season and will begin the campaign on negative points.
Bolton were relegated from the Championship this season after a woeful campaign, which included their clash with Brentford being cancelled, and the Bees were awarded a 1-0 victory.
A statement released on Bolton's official website confirmed the club had entered administration, with Paul Appleton and Asher Miller of London-based insolvency firm David Rubin and Partners as joint administrators.
It was also confirmed Fildraw, and not Ken Anderson, has placed the club into administration.
The Championship free agents Leeds United could target this summer
As such, Bolton will kickstart their League One campaign next season on minus-12 points.
"This has obviously been a long-running situation and it is vitally important we quickly establish the position of both the football club and the holding company," Appleton said in a statement.
"It has got to the stage where the Trust could not sit back and allow the club to go into liquidation. Decisive action had to be taken and the Trust believes the decision is in the best interests of Bolton Wanderers.
"Everybody at the club as well as the supporters need a sense of clarity and that is what I will be seeking to provide as quickly as possible."

Q: How to modify nested column dynamically in pyspark I have nested schema with depth level of 6. I am facing issues while traversing each element in the schema to modify a column. I have list which contains column names which needs to be modify(hash/anonymized).
My initial thought is to traverse each element in the schema and compare column with the list items and modify once there is match. But I do not know how to do it.
List values:['type','name','work','email']
Sample schema:
-- abc: struct (nullable = true)
|    |-- xyz: struct (nullable = true)
|    |    |-- abc123: string (nullable = true)
|    |    |-- services: struct (nullable = true)
|    |    |    |-- service: array (nullable = true)
|    |    |    |    |-- element: struct (contains Null = true)
|    |    |    |    |    |-- type: string (nullable = true)
|    |    |    |    |    |-- subtype: string (nullable = true)
|    |    |    |-- name : string(nullable = true)
|    |    |-- details: struct (nullable =true)
|    |    |    |  -- work: (nullable = true)

Note: If I flatten the schema it creates 600+ columns. Thus I am looking for a solution which modify the column dynamically(no hardcoding)
EDIT:
if it helps in anyway I am sharing my code where I am trying modify the value, but its broken
def change_nested_field_value(schema, new_df,fields_to_change, parent=""):

    for field in schema:
        full_field_name = field.name
        short_name = full_field_name.split('.')

        if parent:
            full_field_name = parent + "." + full_field_name

        #print(full_field_name)
        if short_name[-1] not in fields_to_change:
            if isinstance(field.dataType, StructType):
                inner_schema = change_nested_field_value(field.dataType,new_df, fields_to_change, full_field_name)

Flush From $200 Million Sale, LA Investors Buy Properties in Hollywood and Beyond
Harkham Family Sold Rodeo Drive Hotel to Luxury Goods Company LVMH in December
By Jack Witthaus CoStar News February 28, 2022 | 5:17 P.M.
Months after selling a $200 million property on tony Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, a Los Angeles family investment office has snagged more than an acre in Hollywood near a bevy of redevelopment projects catering to the entertainment and tourism industries.
An entity related to the Harkham family bought roughly 1.3 acres with around 25,000 square feet of industrial space and a four-unit apartment building at Seward Street and Hudson Avenue near Santa Monica Boulevard, according to CoStar data and marketing materials. The sale price was roughly $22 million, and the seller was Pasadena, California-based Mader Inc., according to CoStar data. The buyers want to market the space for creative office use and said they have multiple letters of intent on the property after closing less than two weeks ago, according to Aron Harkham, who runs acquisitions for the family. The property's space may be upgraded in the future, too, he said. Newmark's Jay Luchs is marketing the property for lease.
"We're not looking at this as knocking it and building a massive building there," Harkham told CoStar News.
The family investment office is in the middle of a shopping spree as part of a 1031 exchange after selling the 80-room Luxe Hotel at 360 N. Rodeo Drive for an eye-popping $200 million, or about $2.5 million a room, to French luxury retailer and developer LVMH in December 2021. The Harkham family plans to buy more than a dozen properties across the U.S., including multiple properties in greater L.A., as it redeploys the cash from the Luxe Hotel sale. A 1031 exchange allows investors to roll proceeds from real estate sales into other properties of like value to defer some tax payments. The family investment office is pivoting away from the hospitality business as it buys other real estate, Harkham said. Earlier in February, the family office also bought the 13,000-square-foot 157 S. Fairfax Ave. retail space across from the high-end Grove shopping center in L.A. for an undisclosed amount.
The Harkham family still owns the upscale Luxe Sunset Boulevard Hotel in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles, along with other properties in downtown Los Angeles and on the Westside, Harkham said.
Some of the Seward Street buildings, in an area that's known for its historic film and music production, date back more than 100 years. That history has lured some big-name developers to the neighborhood in recent years with conversion and redevelopment plans. In December, Canadian developer Onni Group bought the nearby 83,000-square-foot Howard Hughes Headquarters Building at 7000 Romaine St. along the trendy Sycamore Avenue for $40 million. Such investment in the neighborhood has attracted music brands, advertising firms and creative content and production companies.
Not far from the Seward Street site, a 10-story office and restaurant redevelopment project is planned for 1000 N. Seward. In 2021, Los Angeles developer Hudson Pacific Properties signed leases for its first tenants at its completed Harlow project, a four-story, 130,000-square-foot creative office building at nearby Hollywood production lot Sunset Las Palmas Studios.
The seller did not respond to a request for comment from CoStar News.

'Tiger King Joe Exotic' Not On White House List Of 73 Pardons Released After Midnight"Joe Exotic" Maldonado-Passage formally requested a pardon from the outgoing president last year.
DOJ Moves To Add More Marijuana Growers For Research
Filed Under:Attorney General William Barr, Blunt, DEA, Drugs, green, hemp, Justice Department, Legalize It, marijuana, mary jane, NORMAL, plant, smoke, Spliff, THC, University of Mississippi, weed
LOS ANGELES (CBSDFW.COM/AP) — The Justice Department said Monday it would move forward to expand the number of marijuana growers for federally-authorized cannabis research.
The long-awaited move comes after researchers filed court papers asking a judge to compel the Drug Enforcement Administration to process the applications to grow research pot. The DEA began accepting applications to grow marijuana for federally-approved research about three years ago, but the agency hasn't acted on more than two dozen applications.
Both Republican and Democratic lawmakers in Congress have questioned why the Justice Department has taken so long to act. Attorney General William Barr had promised to look into the status of the applications in April.
For years, the University of Mississippi has been the only entity federally licensed to produce marijuana for research. Researchers have complained in recent years that the cannabis produced there is not like the cannabis sold in states where medical and so-called recreational marijuana is legal.
The move announced Monday would give researchers a wider variety of cannabis to study, Uttam Dhillon, the DEA's acting administrator, said in a statement.
"DEA is making progress in the program to register additional marijuana growers for federally authorized research, and will work with other relevant federal agencies to expedite the necessary next steps," Dhillon said.
The agency is also planning to propose new regulations that would govern the program and help the agency evaluate the applications, the Justice Department said.
"I am pleased that DEA is moving forward with its review of applications for those who seek to grow marijuana legally to support research," Barr said.


"Radio4 in the UK has an interesting report about placing QR Codes on tombstones. (See the picture to the right for a typical QR code.) Edward Stourton of the Sunday morning religious news and current affairs programme, recently interviewed Steven Nimmo, a funeral director from Dorset, to find out how digital 'quick response' codes are being placed on gravestones. Scanning the code with a smart phone directs people to a webpage where they can find a wealth of information about the deceased.
You can listen to the audio from the radio programme at http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00z02tn."
This audio link is worth about 2.42 minutes of listening... it is a really cool way to remember love ones. It is similar to the "Memorial Madallions" we heard about in the last few years. Technology and genealogy marches on!

Former U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry says he's ashamed that U.S. Vice President Mike Pence didn't mention climate change at an international security conference and is vowing to help make it a voting issue.
He said: "I'm ashamed that our vice president of the United States stood up here at a security conference and never even mentioned the word 'climate change.'"
Kerry added: "I wish there was a way to hold the president of the United States accountable for the loss of life that is going to take place every day, for the displacement of people, for the trillions of dollars we will have to wind up spending because we're not getting the job done."
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has fired back at British Defense Minister Gavin Williamson, calling him the "minister of war."
Lavrov's comments Saturday came the day after Williamson gave a speech at the Munich Security Conference saying that Russia was "trying to goad the West into a new arms race it simply is not interested in and does not want."
Lavrov, talking about Russia's perception of "increased activity by NATO," said Moscow was interested in knowing how the western alliance saw its mandate in the Arctic.
He says "if you listen to some people like minister of war — or, sorry, minister of defense of the United Kingdom, then you might get an impression that nobody except NATO has the right to be anywhere other than in their own borders."
The presidents of Serbia and Kosovo have traded barbs at an international security conference over the responsibility for a stalemate in efforts to improve their ties.
Kosovo, which broke away from Serbia in 2008, last year set a 100 percent import tariff on Serbian goods until Belgrade recognizes its sovereignty and stops preventing it from joining international organizations. A European Union-facilitated dialogue has stalled, with Belgrade saying it won't participate until the tariff is lifted.
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic and Kosovo President Hashim Thaci appeared together at the Munich Security Conference on Saturday, both expressing interest in reaching an agreement but neither appearing to give ground.
The EU's enlargement commissioner, Johannes Hahn, urged them to move toward a compromise. He said it's time, "even if it doesn't sound and look like a window of opportunity, to strike very soon a deal."
A top Chinese official is defending Huawei, dismissing American concerns that the telecom giant might covertly collect data and report it to Beijing, and urging Europeans to ignore Washington.
Yang Jiechi's comments Saturday came after U.S. Vice President Mike Pence labeled Huawei a "threat" to national security systems and urged allies to exclude them from developing 5G wireless infrastructure.
Yang told the Munich Security Conference Europeans "know where their own interests lie, so let there be fewer lectures," accusing the U.S. of pushing its own self interests.
He says "Chinese law does not require companies to install back doors or collect intelligence" and said Huawei "as a company is cooperating very closely with the European countries."
He says "the Europeans know very well what is the wise path for them to go forward."
— This item corrects Pence's title.
A senior Chinese official is signaling that Beijing isn't interested in joining an expanded version of the Cold War-era nuclear weapons treaty between the United States and Russia that Washington and Moscow have decided to abandon.
The U.S. announced this month that it was pulling out of the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces treaty because of Russian violations. Moscow followed suit, strongly denying any breaches. The U.S. administration also has worried that the pact was an obstacle to efforts to counter intermediate-range missiles deployed by China, which is not covered by the treaty.
Politburo member Yang Jiechi told the Munich Security Conference Saturday that the INF treaty should be preserved but "China develops its capabilities strictly according to its defensive needs and doesn't pose a threat to anybody else. So we are opposed to the multilateralization of (the) INF."
U.S. Vice President Mike Pence is urging allies to take seriously "the threat" posed by Chinese telecom giant Huawei as they look for partners to build 5G wireless infrastructure.
Pence said Saturday the U.S. had been "clear with our security partners on the threat posed by Huawei and other Chinese telecom companies."
He told the Munich Security Conference they "provide Beijing's vast security apparatus with access to any data that touches their network or equipment (and) we must protect our critical telecom infrastructure."
He says "America is calling on all our security partners to be vigilant and to reject any enterprise that would compromise the integrity of our communications technology or our national security systems."
China rejects the U.S. position, saying Washington has provided no evidence Huawei threatens national security.
U.S. Vice President Mike Pence is doubling down on his criticism of European nations working to preserve a nuclear deal with Iran, saying they should follow Washington's lead and withdraw from the agreement.
Speaking Saturday right after Chancellor Angela Merkel defended the 2015 Iran deal, Pence said "the time has come for our European partners to stop undermining sanctions" by continuing to offer economic incentives in exchange for Tehran limiting its nuclear capability.
He says Europe should withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal "and join us as we bring the economic and diplomatic pressure necessary to give the Iranian people, the region and the world the peace, security and freedom they deserve."
France, Germany and Britain, as well as the European Union, Russia and China, have been struggling to preserve the deal since the U.S. pulled out last year.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel says U.S. authorities appear to have concluded that European cars are a threat to national security.
Merkel said at the Munich Security Conference that Germany is "proud of our cars, and we're allowed to be," and many of them are built in the U.S.
The European Union and the U.S. have been trying to ratchet down trade tensions in recent months and Merkel says she has "great hope" in the negotiations. But she added: "It is not entirely easy for me as German chancellor to read that apparently — I don't have it in writing yet — the American Commerce Department says German, European cars are a threat to national security."
She noted that German automaker BMW's biggest plant is in South Carolina "and if these cars ... are suddenly a threat to the United States' national security, that startles us."

Vulture reviews Art Comic
"The 8 Best Comics to Read This October " / Vulture / Abraham Riesman / October 1, 2018
It's hard to describe what, exactly, happens in Art Comic without sounding like a madman. It's about … Well, I suppose it's about art and artists? Beyond that general description, sense fails: there's an aspiring artist who dies and meets a flying pony that may or may not be God, an art student who suffers a hammer-blow to the head and decides to become a medieval knight, an art teacher who accepts a Faustian deal with a bat-person who pays him to suppress the dreams of art students, an art aficionado from another planet who builds sex robots, and so on. Each of these narratives would be delightfully baffling enough on their own, but Matthew Thurber toggles back and forth between them in an admirable effort to keep the reader disoriented at all times. His crude visuals are perfectly suited to this raw, bizarre meditation on why we idiot humans bother to create anything.

The Groundwater Foundation presents $100,000 to Give Clean Water to Low Income Families
On October 24, the Groundwater Foundation presented the Water Well Trust with a donation of $100,000. The donation is part of an effort to provide low-income families in the U.S. with clean water.
This massive donation is a step toward clean drinking water for low-income Americans. This month, Groundwater Foundation (GF) presented Water Well Trust (WWT) with a check that will fund a project to drill 10 wells in select states before the end of 2020.
Many Americans do not have access to clean drinking water. According to the National Ground Water Association (NGWA) press release, there are currently 2.9 million housing units lacking complete plumbing and access to clean, safe, affordable drinking water.
And what's worse is those individuals often cannot afford to replace pipes or find access to drinking water. GF's donation will now make clean water accessible to thousands of Americans through new drills.
The program pays for the initial cost of drilling the well and participating families are given a 20-year, one percent interest loan. The check was presented to the WWT by NGWA CEO Terry S. Morse, CAE, CIC.
"There is a tremendous need to help families struggling to make ends meet and they shouldn't have to worry about access to clean, safe, affordable and sustainable water," said Morse. "I'm thrilled we are partnering with the Water Well Trust to tackle this problem, we have a lot of work to do all across America."
The GF and Water Well Trust started in May 2018 after NGWA merged with nonprofit GF. The NGWA and the WSC signed a five-year memorandum of understanding on December 3, 2018, that set a foundation for future collaborations between the two organizations.
The Water Well Trust is the nonprofit organization overseen by the Water Systems Council. It is one of the first projects being worked on by NGWA and WSC's collaborative efforts.

Paul, 60, and Rachel Chandler, 56, from Kent, were seized from their yacht near the Seychelles in October 2009.
Mrs Chandler said: "I'm enjoying being free". The couple said they were fine, but will undergo medical checks.
They were taken to Adado, then Mogadishu, and have now arrived in Kenya. The BBC held off reporting the release due to an injunction.
It observed the terms of the order obtained by the Chandlers' family which was intended to stop news organisations covering their release until they were safely out of Somalia.
Mr Chandler told the BBC: "We're fine, we're rather skinny and bony but we're fine."
The couple were told they were to be released two days ago, he said.
Asked if he had felt their lives had been in danger during captivity, he said: "That's something we'll talk about later, but we were not really directly endangered by the gang, after the initial seizure."
The husband and wife both stressed that the conditions of their captivity were not important, with Mr Chandler saying: "You can see from our state that we suffered no serious physical harm."
However he added: "We were beaten once."
At a brief press conference at the presidential palace in Mogadishu, Mrs Chandler, from Tunbridge Wells, said: "We are among decent everyday people, with Somali people... and not with the criminals.
"To home now, with our family and friends," she added.
Members of the Chandler family in the UK told the BBC they were "overjoyed" at the news of the release, which they heard on Saturday evening UK time.
A statement issued by the Chandler family once the couple had arrived in Nairobi said that although the couple looked to be in "relatively good health... we cannot yet be certain how the difficulties that they have had to endure in recent months will have affected them physically and emotionally".
It is not clear if any ransom was paid to secure the couple's release, however, the BBC's East Africa correspondent Will Ross says it seems highly likely that money did change hands.
The family statement said: "There will be the inevitable questions of how their release was achieved.
"The family believes it would be irresponsible to discuss any aspect of the release process as this could encourage others to capture private individuals and demand large ransom payments, something that we are sure none of us wants."
Without going into details of the negotiations, the statement said: "Throughout the protracted discussions with the pirates it has been a difficult task for the family to get across the message that these were two retired people on a sailing trip on a small private yacht and not part of a major commercial enterprise involving tens of millions of pounds of assets.
"Thankfully, common sense finally prevailed and a solution was obtained for their release in the last few days."
Earlier in the Somali capital Mogadishu, Prime Minister Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed met the couple and said the government was pleased they had been freed.
He said the government had "exerted every humanly possible effort to bring you back to your loved ones".
Baroness Kinnock, who was involved in the case during her time as Foreign Office minister for Africa, said: "It seems to have gone on endlessly, and we've all felt terribly concerned for the Chandlers who have obviously suffered a great deal during their imprisonment by the Somali pirates."
She wished them a speedy return to their familes, but said: "The trauma will have been terrible for them, and they'll need a lot of help and support."
She said there had been "a lot of activity" in the Foreign Office, but it was difficult to make contact with the pirates.
"Obviously they hadn't realised that they'd captured two people who were not hugely wealthy and would never ever have been able to pay the ransom they were demanding," she told the BBC.
Any ransom payment by the UK government would "cause an escalation of this kind of activity", she said.
In June, the couple asked Prime Minister David Cameron whether he was willing to negotiate with the kidnappers.
But the Foreign Office said at the time that the UK government's policy of "not making or facilitating substantive concessions to hostage-takers, including the payment of ransoms, is long-standing and clear".
Earlier this year their captors threatened to kill the couple if their demands for $7m (£4.4m) were not met.

Sandy Spavone: Parents, teens responsible for developing good driving skills
Monday, February 11, 2013 3:19:00 PM
Lori Johnston
Simply put, the National Organizations for Youth Safety (NOYS) wants to keep teens safe on the road. The Virginia-based group works with nonprofit organizations, government agencies, and business and industry leaders to combat distracted driving and drunk driving.
NOYS also works to prevent bullying, drug abuse and violence among teens, and it promotes health and wellness.
NOYS Executive Director Sandy Spavone, a former teacher who has worked with national youth peer education programs since 1997, talked with InsuranceQuotes.com about bad behavior behind the wheel.
Why is traffic safety among teens still a challenging issue?
Every day, there is a new teen driver. Parents are, for the first time, in the situation of being a driving coach to their baby, to their child. There's not a lot of information for parents on what to do and how to mitigate the risks. Parents have a definite key role in working with their teen, and more so because states have cut driver's education out of their school curriculum. Parents need to understand that just because the birthdate says the child is old enough to drive, (it may not mean they) have the skills and maturity to … be a safe driver.
What programs can be helpful to parents?
We heard from parents that it was hard to find out what their state's graduated driver's licensing (GDL) laws were. UnderYOURInfluence, funded by the U.S. Department of Transportation, is specifically set up for that need. We also have worked with other partners. For instance, NETS (Network of Employers for Traffic Safety) has developed a nice road guide for parents. Most parents have to spend anywhere from 20 to 40 hours with their teen driving; it's required by states, but the states don't tell them what they should do with their time.
What behaviors create bad teen drivers?
Texting definitely is an issue. This generation has their phones for several years before they get their licenses. It used to be they get their license and then they get their phone. The statistics, though, are not supporting that texting would be the main cause (of accidents). A lot of states still have not included "distracted driving" or "texting while driving" on their accident reports.
What needs to happen with GDL laws?
We know that states that have strong GDL laws have lower fatality rates. We're not only protecting our teens with GDL laws, but we're protecting everybody that shares the road with teen drivers. We need to make sure all of our states have strong laws to protect teen drivers. Those laws control nighttime driving, which is a huge risk, and also passenger restrictions. With every passenger (riding with a teen driver), the statistics of being in a crash grows.
How else can parents get involved?
Use a parent-teen driving contract. We encourage the parent to make it both positive and negative. If they (teen drivers) do a certain infraction, this is going to happen. You gradually reward them for good behavior behind the wheel. Say you set curfew at 8:30 p.m. for the first month, then move it to 9 or later thereafter. We really encourage the parents to make it a two-way conversation because the teens are interested in this, too.
Are there any tech resources for parents?
There are technologies you can put on your child's phone to see what's going on behind the wheel. Canary is one of those products (available in the Apple and Google Play app stores). If a teen driver tries to text, use Facebook or do anything with the keyboard while the car is in motion, it sends the parent an email or text that the phone was engaged while the car was in motion. Other apps stop the phone from being used when the car is in motion. You can set it up to be less controlling or as controlling as you, as a parent, want to be.

________________________________________ A well preserved mummy which bears an impressive resemblance to Van Gogh's famous self-portrait has been found in an ancient church in Spain.
The individual, whose real name is unknown, is one of 30 mummified bodies that were found during restoration work in the church of the Assumption of Our Lady in the village of Quinto, near Zaragoza.
The burials were unearthed in 2011, when a part of the floor of the church, also known as the "Piquete," was removed to install the heating system.
To the workers' surprise, 30 mummified bodies, some in very good states of preservation, emerged from the partly opened wooden coffins.
All mummified bodies --11 adults and 24 children -- were then stored in a chapel of the church, and there they remained, wrapped in cloths, waiting for examination.
"The project is still ongoing. We have begun with five mummies, two adults and three children," Mercedes González, director of the Instituto de Estudios Científicos en Momias in Madrid, told Discovery News.
Mummified naturally thanks to the very dry soil, the bodies date from the late 18th until mid-19th century, based on the clothing of the mummies.
Some male mummies wore monk clothes.
"In Spain it was very common for people to be buried with habits of a religious order. Some of these mummies wear Franciscan habits, but they are not monks," González said.
Actual monks were buried barefoot. The mummies of Quinto wear espadrilles, a kind of shoe typical of the Aragon region.
"They are made of straw and cotton and were used by peasants," González said.
Most mummies still have hair and beards perfectly preserved.
"Hair usually maintains very well in dry environments, especially if there are no insects such as Dermestidae, or skin beetles," González said.
The "Van Gogh" mummy, who might have been in his 40's when he died, is one of such clothed in Franciscan habits, but little is known about him, his diseases and cause of death.
"We are waiting for the results of histological analysis that were sent to several international institutions in Italy, Korea, Nebraska and Brazil," González said.
She noted that in the region of Aragon, to which Quinto belongs, there were several epidemics. In the 18th century, smallpox and yellow fever ravaged the region, while in the 19th century epidemics of cholera claimed many lives.
According to Raffaella Bianucci, a bio-anthropologist in the Legal Medicine Section at the University of Turin, the mummies' excellent state of preservation allows a minimally invasive, in-depth study of skeletal and soft tissue pathologies.
"Should it be confirmed that some of them died from cholera, an investigations should be carried out to identify historical cholera strains that might provide information on the microevolution of the bacterium Vibrio cholerae," Bianucci said.
The large number of children found in the burials might hint to epidemics as the main cause of death. So far the children studied show an age between 6-9 months and 7 years old. CT scans carried out at the Royo Villanova Hospital in Zaragoza, revealed one of them has a possible pathology in his right foot.
"We are just studying it," González said.
She will detail the preliminary results at the World Congress on Mummy Studies which takes place in August in Lima, Peru.
"By that time, we hope we can give a name to the 'Van Gogh' mummy and know more about his life," González said.
