Implement Offline OData in your application
You will learn
In this tutorial, you will implement the coding for use with offline OData into your application, and use the SAP Cloud Platform mobile service for development and operations offline configuration settings.
In the previous tutorial, you have finalized the offline configuration in SAP Cloud Platform mobile service for development and operations. In this tutorial, you will implement the necessary coding so your application can use OData while offline.
If you now switch on Airplane mode, and try opening a collection from the app, you will see a message similar to this:
After you have followed the implementation below, your application should now work offline as well.
Now, you need to change the Online behavior to Offline usage. Open the
AppDelegate.swift file.
Add the import declaration for
SAPOfflineOData just below the already existing
SAPOData import declaration:
import SAPOfflineOData
Since the data service is used offline, you need to change the service declaration for offline usage. In order to do so, add a new service declaration
espmContainerOffline just below the existing service declaration:
var espmContainer: ESPMContainer<OnlineODataProvider>!
var espmContainerOffline: ESPMContainer<OfflineODataProvider>!
Scroll down to method
configureOData(urlSession:serviceRoot:) and add the following at the bottom of the method:
var offlineParameters = OfflineODataParameters()
offlineParameters.enableRepeatableRequests = true
// create offline OData provider
let offlineODataProvider = try! OfflineODataProvider(
serviceRoot: URL(string: serviceRoot.absoluteString)!,
parameters: offlineParameters,
sapURLSession: urlSession
// define offline defining query
try! offlineODataProvider.add(
definingQuery: OfflineODataDefiningQuery(
name: CollectionType.products.rawValue,
query: "/\(CollectionType.products.rawValue)?$top=5",
automaticallyRetrievesStreams: false
espmContainerOffline = ESPMContainer(provider: offlineODataProvider)
To initialize the offline OData provider, you first set up an instance of
OfflineODataParameters. With this instance, you set the custom header, provide a name and path for the offline store, and ensure an OData request is applied only once in case of multiple executions.
Then, a reference to the offline data provider is set to the variable
The line which defines the offline defining query is used for the
Productsdefining query you created in the previous tutorial.
Finally, the
servicefield is set to reference the
ESPMContainerbased on the offline data provider.
Next, we need to modify the online behavior of the view controller for the
Products entity. Open file
ProductsMasterViewController.swift in
Demo > ViewControllers > Products and add import the offline framework here as well:
import SAPOfflineOData
Then add a reference to the
espmContainerOffline field in the
AppDelegate.swift file. Below the
espmContainer declaration, add a similar declaration but now for offline usage:
private var espmContainerOffline: ESPMContainer<OfflineODataProvider> {
return self.appDelegate.espmContainerOffline
And finally, add a new field which holds the state of the store, whether it's open or not. Add the following boolean field:
private var isStoreOpened = false
Locate method
requestEntities(completionHandler:), and replace its implementation with the following:
func requestEntities(completionHandler: @escaping (Error?) -> Void) {
// Only request the first 20 values. If you want to modify the requested entities, you can do it here.
espmContainerOffline.open { error in
guard error == nil else {
self.isStoreOpened = true
self.espmContainerOffline.download { error in
guard error == nil else {
let query = DataQuery().selectAll().top(20)
self.espmContainerOffline.fetchProducts(matching: query) { products, error in
guard let products = products else {
self.entities = products
let query = DataQuery().selectAll().top(20)
self.espmContainer.fetchProducts(matching: query) { products, error in
guard let products = products else {
self.entities = products
The code above looks a bit more complex compared to the original implementation of the method. This is because the
requestEntitiesmethod now also takes care of the opening of the store, downloading of the store and closing the store, each with their error handlers and fallbacks.
In addition, a method or function generally should perform only one single task (the "single responsibility" principle, the first and most important principle of the SOLID object-oriented design guidelines), in this case, execute the request. But to get a better understanding of the flow of the code, it is chosen to combine the above multiple responsibilities into one method.
Below this modified method, add the following method:
func closeOfflineStore() {
if isStoreOpened {
do {
try espmContainerOffline.close()
isStoreOpened = false
} catch {
logger.error("Offline Store closing failed")
logger.info("Offline Store closed")
This is used to close the store after each store operation.
In short, the
requestEntities(completionHandler:) method tries to open the offline store first, and then try to perform a download of the data. If no download is possible, chances are the app is offline, and the
espmContainerOffline is queried to retrieve the data. If the download is successful, the app is online, and the online
espmContainer is queried instead.
In a real-world scenario, you would not code it this way because there could be other reasons why the download fails. You would rather download data in the background, and not triggered by a navigation.
Deploy your application to your iOS device, and once loaded, log on to it.
Switch on Airplane mode, and try open a collection and an entity. It should work without errors:
Next Steps
- Development environment: Apple iMac, MacBook or MacBook Pro running Xcode 9 or higher
- SAP Cloud Platform SDK for iOS: Version 2.0
- Tutorials: Offline OData - Configuration
- Step 1: Add import statement
- Step 2: Change Service Declaration to Offline
- Step 3: Change OData initializer
- Step 4: Maintain State of the Offline Store
- Step 5: Change request methods for offline usage
- Step 6: Build and run the application again
- Step 7: Run the application in offline mode
- Back to Top

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – After winning the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference title in October and claiming the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Division III Women's Tennis Championships, the Engineers today saw their name in the bracket for the tournament that was released by the NCAA today. MIT will open play on Friday, May 10 when it takes on Simmons College in Brunswick, Maine.
MIT, which moved up to No. 22 in the latest national rankings, will be playing Simmons, the Great Northeast Athletic Conference champion, for a second straight time this season. The Engineers and Sharks played in the final regular season match for MIT on April 28 when the Engineers scored a 9-0 victory. The two will square off at 2:30 p.m. on the courts of host Bowdoin College. The winner will play Middlebury College on Saturday at 2:30 p.m., with the winner of that match playing at Noon on Sunday for a berth in the tournament quarterfinals.
MIT will be taking part in the tournament as a team for just the third time in school history. It has been 13 years since the last appearance for the Engineers who played Trinity (Conn.) College in 2000. Prior to that MIT also had an appearance in 1993 when it played a total of three matches. Overall the Engineers are 1-3 in NCAA play. Other schools playing at Bowdoin this weekend include the host Polar Bears along with Endicott College and Bridgewater State University.

Texture Plate Fall Leaf Rubbings
Instead of making traditional leaf rubbings
(which we do plenty of this time of year)...
We decided to try an old-school art favorite and did some texture rubbing.
We used my set of texture plates,
place them bumpy-side up under your drawing paper or printed out coloring sheet,
peel a crayon or use a home-made crayon and start rubbing.
Here's the link for the printable leaf coloring sheets we used.
You can get texture plates from teacher supply catalogs, art supply catalogs,
and if you scrapbook they sell plenty of these
in the crafting/scrap-booking aisle of your local craft store.
If you don't have texture plates at home,
have no fear you can also go on a texture hunt around the house!
Materials to gather or look for: Mesh (from produce or tangerines) works wonderfully,
bubble wrap, brick (our fireplace hearth and patio),
wood or tile (floors, deck, boards in the shed, shower walls), rough concrete sidewalks,
tree bark (in the backyard) the possibilities are endless!
After you make the rubbing with crayon you can go over it with colored markers
(we used our scented set -- yummy) or watercolors for a resist effect!
This would be a great kid's table activity at Thanksgiving dinner...
so would this great leafy project over at
Filth Wizardry or these cute leaf rubbing fairies
(you could make leaf turkeys)!
If you don't have leaves to rub you can
always hop over the the Let's Explore blog and shop
and order a set of her wonderful leaf rubbing plates!
Happy Coloring.

Engaging brain
I'm looking at the word salad I posted this previous post and trying to figure out what the heck I mean. The least issue is there's no connection from first half to second beyond the fact it's all about skills.
I'm not going to try and clean it up. That way every so often when I run through my archives I can remind myself I don't have to push the publish button.
Here's the basic. I have skills aimed at the money-making trade/industry, and I have skills aimed at flying a ship to help do that. I listed the former. Despite the quantity it's going to take a surprisingly short time to train them.
In a later post I'll list the skills for flying the ship I'm going to train over the rest of my first three days. And yes, this is basically my three day plan.
See, I figure my first three days will be setup. I've got the career tutorials which are going to take six to ten hours, which I will not get to do in one sitting. The third day will be getting my initial data – finding where the ground meets my plan and adjusting the latter. Day four is when I should probably be really taking off. Of course in an ideal world I'll take off faster but, well, that remains to be seen.

Google's disco-dancing uncle Schmidt trashes Apple's patent war
From billion-dollar lawsuits to busting Gangnam Style moves
Video Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt launched a thinly veiled attack on Apple on Thursday but declared the iPhone maker a "very good partner" - and then proceeded to dance like an uncle at a particularly awful wedding.
The search giant's big cheese, who was in Seoul for the launch of the Nexus 7 tablet in South Korea, made it clear what he thinks about Apple's global mobile patent war against Android phone and tablet biz Samsung. Google, of course, is the company behind mobile operating system Android, and Samsung is headquartered in South Korea.
"Literally, patent wars prevent choice, prevent innovation and I think that is very bad. We are obviously working through that and trying to make sure we stay on the right side of these issues. So ultimately Google stands for innovation as opposed to patent wars," he said, according to Korea Times.
"I think one of the worst things that happened in the last few years has been the belief that somehow there are so many patents in the mobile phone world, an estimated 200,000 that are overlapping and complicated and so forth, that one vendor can stop the sale of another vendor's phones or devices."
Schmidt met senior Samsung mobile execs during his trip, no doubt to discuss a way through the patent minefield given Apple's $1bn victory in a US court last month.
However, the former Google CEO, who until 2009 sat on the board of Apple, also struck a conciliatory tone, admitting that the fruity tech titan was "actually a very good partner" and that the two firms "are literally talking all the time about everything".
One thing they're presumably not talking about any more is mapping, after the Google Maps app was dropped by Apple in the latest version of its iOS operating system in favour of its own, much criticised satnav-like app.
Schmidt then rounded off proceedings by trying to turn himself into a YouTube sensation, in a
badly carefully choreographed routine that involved Korean pop one-hit wonder PSY trying to teach him the dance moves in the group's global smash hit Gangnam Style. If you have not heard of this yoof web sensation, then El Reg congratulates you.
The results, dare you watch, can be seen in this brief clip:
But it's not a patch on what Microsoft's Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer used to get up to. ®

San Mateo County's probation chief is under investigation by federal authorities on suspicion of possessing child pornography, county officials said Saturday.
Stuart Forrest, 61, has been placed on paid administrative leave, a county spokesman said. Supervision of the 400-employee department has been turned over to one Forrest's top deputies.
Forrest is the second Bay Area chief probation officer this year to come under a cloud.
In Alameda County, David Muhammad resigned this summer after being accused of sexually harassing a female probation officer.
Even though the county denied the woman's claim, she filed a lawsuit and in the course of the scandal, it surfaced that Muhammad had written an article about trying to kill someone with his car when he was a teenager.
Forrest's situation comes at a key time as probation departments across California continue to adjust to new responsibilities supervising more offenders under the state's realignment of the criminal justice system. He has overseen the department for the past three years of his 37-year career there.
The U.S. Postal Service is leading the investigation with the help of the FBI.
Roy Brasil, one of the department's four top executives, has been appointed to replace Forrest while the case is pending.
Probation chiefs are appointed by local judicial benches, in this case by the San Mateo County Superior Court.
Forrest is also a martial arts master who once taught at the Korean Martial Arts Center in San Francisco. According to the center's website, Forrest was presented with an engraved Samurai sword thanking him for his more than 30 years of "dedication to the martial arts."

NEW HAVEN, Conn. - On Saturday, the Yale women's fencing team had its annual banquet to celebrate the season and hand out team awards. At the banquet, the Bulldogs announced that their captain for the 2009-2010 season would be junior Rebecca Moss. The banquet marked the end of a season that saw the Elis make many improvements. This year, the Bulldogs finished two spots higher in the Ivy League and sent three fencers to the NCAA National Championships -- three times as many as last year.
Junior Katherine Arden was awarded the Corey Friedlander Award for the member of the Yale fencing team who, through great personal sacrifice, along with a deep sense of devotion to her fellow fencers, has contributed most to the organization, well-being, and general morale of the Yale fencing team. Arden served as the team manager this past season.
Outgoing Captain Lidia Gocheva was honored with the Sherry Marcy Award (1976), given to that member who, through improvement, enthusiasm, dedication and love of fencing, has made the greatest contribution to the team.
Moss noted, "The women's team would like to acknowledge Lidia Gocheva, our out-going captain, who unfortunately could not be there with us. She was a fantastic leader and her presence was deeply missed."
Freshman Katharine Pitt was awarded the Most Valuable Fencer Award for the male or female that has been the most valuable member to the Yale fencing program. The MVP honor is rarely awarded because it only given to fencers who have earned All-America Status. Pitt finished in eighth place at the NCAA National Championships to earn a spot on the second team All-America foil squad.
Moss commented on Pitt's performance this season, "I was very excited to see our wonderful freshman, Katharine Pitt receive the most valuable fencer award which is a highly coveted and not annually awarded trophy. Pitt was able to showcase her zeal and competitive spirit at the NCAA National Championships where she nabbed the title of Second Team All American. We look forward to her returning to the team next year and watching her next outstanding performance."
The men's fencing team was able to swipe the team-voted awards, however several women fencers were close in the running.
In particular, Moss wished to give credit to "Sophomore Tasha Garcia [who] deserves recognition for her season this year -- after only walking on to the team her freshman year, Tasha, through her hard work and dedication, was chosen to start for epee against several major competitors and even finished her C pool at IFA's undefeated."
Finally, the banquet brought the announcement of junior epeeist Rebecca Moss as the new captain of the Elis. Moss won the captain's election over another very experienced junior, saberist Jennifer Ivers.
Moss will be working with Andrew Holbrook, who was elected captain of the men's fencing team.
Said Moss on the elections, "Andrew and I have become close friends over the last three years in and out of the gym. We have common goals and understandings and I greatly look forward to working with him to create the most efficient and effective practice routines yet."
This year the team will lose two seniors to graduation. Epeeist Abigail Fraeman and foilist Jennifer Cohen will be greatly missed by the team.
Moss noted that Fraeman especially would be missed, "Abby served as one of the most vibrant and positive forces on team this year through both individual performance and team encouragement. Her and Jen's parting words, accompanied by coach's always honest and encouraging replies, reminded the team of how far we have come together and how difficult it is to say good-bye."
Looking ahead to next season, Moss is hopeful to continue the team's record for improvement.
"I am extremely honored and excited to be serving as the women's captain next year," said Moss. "Every year in my last three years at Yale, the fencing team has improved both in results and in team unity. I look forward to working with Andrew and the women's manager, Jennifer Ivers, as well as the squad captains, to jump start this trend. With the help of our incoming freshman and continued hard work, this team has the capability of leaping far beyond our already impressive combined finish of 10th place nationwide."

Hey - that moved!
Or it may have gone somewhere else, completely. Try our Search box, or ask us using the chat link at the bottom right of your browser window.
With our new upgraded web system, we've not only ditched our old URL heirarchy, we also also rearranged a bit. In many cases, we have consolidated multiple products that have slight variations in size, capacity, color etc. onto the same page for easier shopping. For example, all of our checkerboard laminated tapes (in 5 color selections, 2 widths and 2 lengths) are on one page instead of twenty different ones. As a result, some of the items numbers have changed or disappeared in the process. And all our Guardian Equipment items now use Guardian's own part numbers.
You can find what you're looking for quickly and easily with the search box at the top of the page if you're looking for a particular item. Our new Search tool is a modern system that can deal with typos, can search based on the product description as well as the title, and starts making suggestions as you type. Or you can browse our various categories and narrow your choices.
By the way, our new product shortcut is of the form http://www.safetyemporium.com/itemnumber where itemnumber is the item number you're looking for. For example, to go directly our 4-year metal extinguisher tag, the URL is http://www.safetyemporium.com/09375 or to find a fritted Büchner funnel the URL is http://www.safetyemporium.com/CG-1402.
And, of course, you can always contact us and ask about a product. A human will answer the phone (unless we're backed up, obviously) - no phone tree, no speaking to a mindless and/or patronizing automated attendant, no account number to key in or other nonsense like that. Humans, imagine that, real humans. Email us and we'll (usually) respond quickly and always with detailed knowledge of the product. And we won't shoo you off to search "the user community" for answers - we respect our customers and don't treat them as unpaid employees. We treat you exactly how we would like to be treated ourselves.

Auralex Fire Safety Data and Questions
Auralex Foam Flammability FAQs
1. Are Auralex acoustical foam products fire retardant?
Yes. All Auralex acoustical foam products are fire retardant. Auralex acoustical foam is specifically designed to be fire retardant to better meet building and fire codes. This has always been the case with Auralex acoustical foam products since they are designed specifically for use as acoustical treatments. (Note: Auralex fire retardants are chemically added to the foam. They are not sprayed
2. What is the difference between Auralex acoustical foam products and "bedding" or "packing" foam?
Since Auralex has been in business, our priorities have been (a) safety and (b) better sound. Auralex acoustical foam products are engineered to be (a) inherently fire retardant and (b) the best for treating acoustics. Many "bedding" or "packing" foams are (a) not fire retardant at all and (b) perform poorly as acoustical treatments. More than ever, Auralex encourages for the buyer to beware. Many "cheap" types of foam will not offer the levels of safety and acoustical control that Auralex acoustical foam products offer.
3. What happens if fire is exposed to Auralex acoustical foam?
It will smolder and smoke, but it will not burst into flames. If the flame source is removed or goes out, the foam will "self-extinguish." Again, this is due to the inherent fire retardant properties of Auralex acoustical foam products. (Note: Auralex does not encourage lighting or otherwise exposing flames or heat sources to foam products. Auralex cannot be held liable for the misuse of products or injuries caused by the misuse of products. Also – regardless of whether you use Auralex acoustical foam products – general safety "common sense" should prevail in your facility. Fire extinguishers, fire exits, etc. should all be considered with general safety in mind.)
4. What information is required by my fire marshal, fire inspector, or building inspector?
Auralex tests all products in accordance with the ASTM E84 and NFPA 255 Standards for Surface Burning. This is in compliance with most building and fire safety codes. You can download a PDF copy of the official test report from
http://www.auralex.com/acoustic_testingdata/acoustic_testingdata.asp. A fire marshal, fire inspector, or building inspector will be
able to interpret this test and compare it to the requirements stated in your local building codes.
5. I've heard Auralex products are "Class B." What does that mean?
The Standard for Surface Burning (ASTM E84 or NFPA 255) yields two numbers: "Flame Spread Index" and "Smoke Developed Index." These numbers are compared with three ranges called out in building and fire safety codes. The three ranges correspond to "Class A," Class B," and "Class C." (Some codes refer to these as "Class 1," "Class 2," and "Class 3." The Class designations are interchangeable.) Depending on the results of the test, a material will fall into one of these three categories. "Class A" (or "Class 1") is the best, indicating that a material is not likely to burn very much, but may produce some smoke. "Class C" (or "Class 3") is the worst, indicating that a material will likely burn more and possibly even produce more smoke. All Auralex acoustical foam products are "Class B." Without getting too technical, it means that Auralex acoustical foam products will
burn a little more than a "Class A" material and will produce smoke. Note that all "Classes" of foam are considered "fire retardant." The types of foam to be extremely wary of are those that have no "Class" designation at all. In all likelihood, these materials have no fire retardant properties whatsoever and Auralex discourages their use as acoustical treatments.
6. So does "Class B" meet my building codes?
It depends. Unfortunately, building codes vary widely from place to place. There is no "nationwide" building or fire safety code that everyone follows. Literally, something considered acceptable for your building may not be considered acceptable for the same type of building in a town, say, four miles from you. If you are unsure at all about what is or is not acceptable for your building, you are strongly encouraged to contact your local fire marshal, fire inspector, or building inspector prior to purchasing any acoustical treatment products.
7. Are all the different Auralex colors and shapes of foam the same in terms of fire retardant properties?
Yes. In fact, each and every "bun" of Auralex acoustical foam that is poured is tested to make sure that the fire retardant properties are consistent for each and every Auralex acoustical foam product.
8. Is Sonomatt – the Auralex version of "egg crate" foam – fire retandant?
Yes. As mentioned in Question 7, each and every Auralex acoustical foam product – in any color or shape – is fire retardant and "selfextinguishing."

Long Pond, PA (January 8, 2014) ― Brandon Igdalsky, Pocono Raceway President and CEO, announced today the addition of Kevin Henry to the Raceway staff as Senior Director of Facility Operations. Igdalsky also announced the promotions of Ben May and Roger Green. "The addition of Kevin, and the promotions of Ben and Roger, will strengthen the Raceway's management team and help lead Pocono Raceway on a successful growth path in future years," stated Igdalsky.
Kevin Henry comes to Pocono Raceway after a thirteen year professional experience at Penn State University's Department of Intercollegiate Athletics, where he took on numerous operational roles from facility management of venues such as Medlar Field at Lubrano Park – Penn State's mixed collegiate and professional baseball venue – to event management of varying scales to include Penn State's Beaver Stadium. In recent years, Kevin's focus was on event operations at Penn State's Beaver Stadium, working with major contractors and event personnel to successfully implement game operations for full-scale collegiate football games.
Born in Erie, Pennsylvania, Kevin holds a Bachelors' degree in Recreation and Park Management and a Master's Degree in Project Management from Penn State University. In addition, Kevin is an active member in the National Center for Spectator Sport Safety and Security (NCS4) and holds certifications in venue safety and security from both NCS4 and the Department of Homeland Security. Kevin and his wife, Colette will soon relocate to the Pocono region and are the proud parents of two children, Audrey and Will.
Ben May was promoted to the position of Pocono Raceway's Chief Marketing Officer. Ben has been a member of the Pocono Raceway family since 2000, where he began his career as the Trackside Sales Manager. Formerly, Ben was the Chief Operating Officer of the Pocono Raceway concessions arm, Mountain Concessions. Ben leads a dedicated team determined to exceed the experience the Pocono faithful deserves. Ben also heads up the concessions business for Pocono Raceway's sister track, South Boston Speedway. Additionally, Ben is a member of Pocono Raceway's sales, marketing and promotional team and proudly helps Pocono continue as a leader in the NASCAR industry with its entertainment, sustainable energy and fan -driven mindset. Ben is a Greenville, NC-native, a graduate of Elon University and lives in Effort, PA with his wife, Cory and son, Nate.
Roger Green assumes the position of Senior Director of Corporate Partnerships. Roger joined the Raceway staff in 2004, previously handling Trackside Sales including Corporate Displays, Driver Souvenir Trailers and Corporate Hospitality. He is a graduate of East Stroudsburg University with a Sports Management Degree. Roger resides in Saylorsburg, PA with his wife, Sandra and two children Braydon and Alexandra.

Senate Republicans on Tuesday reworked an elections bill that addresses voting problems that made Florida a target of national ridicule in 2012. But they rejected changes Democrats sought and added a provision, directed at Miami-Dade's top elections official, that angered election supervisors.
A final vote was delayed. The bill expands early voting sites in hopes of avoiding a repeat of last year's lines and mandates eight early voting days for at least eight hours a day. Counties could voluntarily extend early voting to 14 days, including the Sunday before the election. The bill prohibits future legislatures from publishing the full texts of proposed constitutional amendments. Full-texting was a major factor in November's long lines.
The bill also addresses the widespread problem of sloppy absentee ballots by giving absentee voters the ability to fix a problem with their ballots up to 5 p.m. on the Sunday before an election. Bowing to growing opposition, senators also dropped a provision that would have required absentee voters to have their ballots witnessed by an adult. The bill prohibits paid absentee ballot solicitors from receiving more than two ballots for people other than family members, and it prohibits people from assisting more than 10 voters at the polls -- which a Miami-Dade civil rights group, Florida New Majority, says would result in the disenfranchisement of some voters.
But a last-minute amendment that was not debated in a committee became highly controversial. The amendment gives the Secretary of State power to place a county supervisor of election on "noncompliant status," including the loss of $2,000 in salary, for up to three years for incompetence. Sen. Miguel Diaz de la Portilla, R-Miami, who has been critical of Miami-Dade Supervisor Penelope Townsley's handling of the 2012 vote, sponsored the provision. Townsley is the only supervisor among 67 who's appointed, not elected.
"It's more symbolic than anything else," Diaz de la Portilla said. "It's not about removal from office. Only the governor can do that." He said the provision is aimed at the five election supervisors who "underperformed" last fall, in the words of Secretary of State Ken Detzner, and was not specifically aimed at Townsley.
Supervisors weren't buying that. They watched in anger as the amendment passed on a 22-18 vote. "Heavy-handed and a ham-fisted attempt to get after his own supervisor of elections," said Polk County Supervisor of Elections Lori Edwards. "A typical inside Tallahassee backroom deal."
Sen. Jack Latvala, R-Clearwater, manager of the bill, said he was persuaded to support the provision, noting that things should not get so bad that an election supervisor has to be suspended from office. Said Latvala: "This is a token kind of thing that could be used by the Secretary of State to get the attention of supervisors who are not doing the job they were elected to do."
Senate Democrats tried in vain to make early voting mandatory on the Sunday before the election; to make "any suitable location" available for early voting; and to limit future ballot questions to no more than 150 words. The bill (HB 7013) now returns to the full House for a vote.

Houston Dynamo defender Andre Hainault made a difficult decision last week to turn down a Canadian national team call-up to focus on his club's playoff chase. The decision paid off Friday night, as Hainault scored a pivotal 36th-minute goal to give Houston a crucial advantage in a 2-0 win over the Portland Timbers. It's a win that could well have booked the club's passage to the MLS Cup Playoffs.
"There were a lot of different factors that went into that decision," Hainault told MLSsoccer.com by phone after the win. "I am happy to score the goal, and [getting the win] reaffirms my decision to stay."
Hainault, who was battling injuries and had missed time at training the week before the call-up, made himself available only for Canada's match last Friday against St. Lucia, ruling himself out of this past Tuesday's encounter with Puerto Rico. Subsequently, Canadian head coach Stephen Hart decided not to take Hainault up on his offer, giving the Dynamo defender plenty of time to rest up for the game against Portland.
"I thought about it after the game, especially with some of the comments I heard on TV when I watched the national team game, and yeah, it felt nice to be able to say, 'Yeah, I didn't stick around for nothing,'" Hainault said.
Houston picked up confidence after Hainault's goal – on which Brad Davis picked up his 15th assist of the season, tying him with David Beckham for the league lead – and gained a grip on the game the Dynamo maintained maintain until the final whistle, both offensively and defensively.
Portland, which entered the game trailing the Dynamo by three points for the last playoff spot, pushed forward looking for an equalizer. However, Hainault was part of a defense that held strong to keep a clean sheet. Danny Cruz's left-footed cracker from 30 yards out in the 59th minute put an exclamation point on the win, just Houston's second road victory of the year.
The clean sheet - Houston's second straight in road contests - sewed up a clutch performance for Hainault and his Dynamo teammates, one that puts the club in pole position for a playoff spot coming out of the Eastern Conference.
"I don't have any bad blood towards the national team, but I made the decision to rest some injuries, and this was a huge game for us," Hainault said. "[Scoring] does make me feel better."

On June 19, Fiona Apple will release her latest album The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than the Driver of the Screw and Whipping Cords Will Serve You More Than Ropes Will Ever Do, thus breaking the voice-sapping curse the octopoid conjurer Ursula placed on her seven years ago. Apple, who has a delightful surname, told NPR that she supposes the real reason it takes her so long to work is that she doesn't really have a "plan" — she just lives her life, one trippy music video at a time.
The only reason that it takes me seven years to do stuff is because I just don't really have a plan. I got a lot of problems, but I'm really good at intuiting what I need to do to be happy with whatever I create. I know when to stop myself, I know when to start, I know when to leave something alone. I guess I just kind of indulge that completely, and so I just take my time.
You can believe that introspectively insightful explanation if you want, but clearly the octopus hat Fionna Apple wears in the "Every Single Night" video betrays the real reason for the long delay.

Red-hot Hall aims to lead Oilers to another win over Canucks
Taylor Hall's current tear has helped vault his Edmonton Oilers into the eighth spot in the Western Conference.
The Vancouver Canucks know all too well just how hot the forward is right now.
Hall will look to lead the Oilers to a sixth straight victory on Thursday night with a second win in less than a week over the Canucks.
The 21-year-old Hall is seventh in the NHL with 41 points and 15 of those have come during a six-game point streak. That run includes a hat trick in a 4-0 home victory over the Canucks last Saturday and a career-high five-point game in Wednesday night's 8-2 victory over the Calgary Flames in the back end of a home-and-home series.
Hall had a goal and an assist in Sunday's home win over the Flames and he had one of three second-period power-play goals last night. He also logged four assists as Edmonton rallied back from an early 2-0 hole with eight straight goals.
"To be down 2-0 and win 8-2 is pretty cool," said Hall. "We have a great group in here. I think today was kind of a weird day in here with the trade deadline, but I think everyone kind of settled down and realized this is the group that we have for this year and I think we're all excited about that."
Nail Yakupov and Jordan Eberle each scored twice, while Ryan Nugent-Hopkins posted a goal and three assists as the Oilers moved one point ahead of the St. Louis Blues and Nashville Predators for the eighth spot in the West. Devan Dubnyk turned away 15-of-17 shots in the win.
Edmonton, looking to make the postseason for the first time since a run to the Stanley Cup Finals in 2006, is on its longest win streak since taking six straight from Oct. 22-Nov. 3, 2011.
The Oilers are set to continue their postseason push with their current roster after having a quiet deadline. Sellers in years past, Edmonton only acquired forward Jerred Smithson from the Florida Panthers for a 2013 fourth-round draft pick.
Edmonton has won two of three versus Vancouver this season and Hall set a franchise record for the fastest hat trick in last weekend's win. Hall put home this third goal of the game at the 7:53 mark, breaking Wayne Gretzky's previous record of 12:38 set in 1986.
The Oilers also set a franchise mark by scoring three goals in the game's first 2:43, passing the old record of 3:25 set on Dec. 16, 1981.
Edmonton also snapped a three-game series road losing streak with a shootout victory at Vancouver back on Jan. 20, but has still lost eight of its last 10 as the guest in this series.
The Canucks' loss to the Oilers last weekend snapped a six-game winning streak and the club dropped its second in a row with Monday's 3-2 loss at the San Jose Sharks. Vancouver, though, remains tied with the Minnesota Wild for first place in the Northwest Division with 44 points, but has two fewer wins.
The Wild visit the Los Angeles Kings on Thursday night.
Chris Higgins had a goal and an assist for the Canucks, while Alexandre Burrows also scored. Cory Schneider, pulled after allowing two goals on two shots versus the Oilers, made 32 saves in Monday's loss.
Vancouver has been playing without forwards Ryan Kesler (broken right foot), David Booth (left ankle) and Dale Weise (shoulder), but added center Derek Roy from the Dallas Stars on Tuesday for defensive prospect Kevin Connauton and a second-round pick in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft.
Roy was in his first season with the Stars and had four goals and 18 assists in 30 game. He goes from a team on the fringe of the playoff race to a division contender.
"I'm going to try and bring leadership to the team, as well as speed and playmaking ability, finish goals," said Roy. "I'll try to be an all round two- way player and hopefully we can go deep in the playoffs. Like I said, we have good team here and we can do it, so we just have to believe in ourselves."
Vancouver also signed Higgins to a four-year extension on Tuesday. He has nine goals and 14 points in 35 games this season.

Malvern Co-working / Malvern Jelly
Key IQ Ltd
Wednesday, 2 January 2019 from 09:30 to 12:30 (GMT)
Event Details
Malvern Jelly co-working is based on the UK Jelly initiative that encourages people who usually work on their own, for example at home, to join others in a comfortable environment where they can continue to work but have an opportunity to meet others. As such, Jelly events are not networking events in the usual sense, so there are some Jellyquette considerations...
Malvern Jelly takes place the first Wednesday morning of each month from 09:30 to 12:30 at the Wyche Innovation Centre on the Malvern Hills. It is free to attend, but you do need to register in advance as space is limited. If you book a place and then your plans change, please release your reservation so that others may attend. You can also add your name to the waiting list if places are not available at the time of booking.
The co-working session takes place in Cafe H2O, so there is fresh coffee, cake and other refreshments available to help keep you going! Bring along your laptop or tablet and use our free wifi.

Does anyone remember an extended video from the 1996-1997 season (could have been taken when Warriors were playing in San Jose) of a guy dancing a weird snake-like dance coupled by pelvic thrusts? It was taken during a timeout, where they cut to different people dancing and eventually settled on this guy for the duration because he owned it. The Arena was roaring.
Skinny guy, dark hair, looked Persian.
Dancing in a suit to http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/get-ready-for-this-orchestral/id328172097?i=328172104
Courtside or thereabouts.
Asian couple next to him cracking up, looking like they were about to have a coronary.
Warriors staff recut the video and played it during timeouts or whenever levity was needed later that season. The guy was actually moved down to the front row and thrown into a Raise The Roof shirt at one point--which was when the whole thing jumped the shark. For me, the original video is the holy grail of GSW promos and it's not on YouTube. If you have access or know of the guy in the video, please for the decency of all that's GSW, share.
That's all. If you remember this video, please comment so I know I'm not losing my mind.

Is Stress a Part of Your Job?
Job title: Teacher Annual median salary: $55,390
Social worker
Job title: Social worker Annual median salary: $48,671
Newspaper reporter
Job title: Newspaper reporter Annual median salary: $37,942
Emergency dispatcher
Job title: Emergency dispatcher Annual median salary: $34,262
"My job is SO stressful!"
Most people think they have the most stressful job – that's only natural. And without doubt, almost every job has unique brands of stress. But let's face it, there are some jobs that are just way more stressful than others. But which ones are they and what makes them so?
We did a bunch of research on stressful occupations and there are tons of opinions. Many publications publish annual lists on the topic and some even reach out to experts who examine factors such as hours, working conditions, and consequences of mistakes. We examined the jobs in these articles, compared them to the jobs in our database, and chose our own top ten stressful jobs.
Job title: Teacher Annual median salary: $55,390
Yeah yeah, we can hear some of you expressing disbelief right off the bat. Yes most teachers get summers off and many get automatic pay raises. We know. But there is a flip side to that coin
First of all teachers are never going to get rich teaching. Second, most teachers are working well outside the times between the first and final bell by grading papers, going over curriculum, etc. Third, teachers have an unbelievably crucial responsibility to shape the minds of young people and properly prepare them for life after graduation. Failing to do so literally endangers the future – for both the students and society in general. And finally there's the stress of dealing with most students every day. That's normally enough stress right there to last a lifetime.
Social worker
Job title: Social worker Annual median salary: $48,671
Imagine being placed into emergency situations where potential abuse or violence is taking place. No one else wants to step in, so it falls to you to deal with the aftermath and you're getting paid peanuts.
This is life as a social worker.
Social workers have to advocate for those who are often in dire straits and dealing with one or more crises. While they help families plan next steps and offer education on various topics, they also must be an understanding and sympathetic ear while witnessing heartbreaking family and personal situations. Add to that the fact that social programs are constantly underfunded yet the demand constantly grows, and you have fewer dedicated social workers trying to do more work with less support.
Job title: Newspaper reporter Annual median salary: $37,942
Life as a print journalist is not easy.
First of all the pay is low and very few strike it rich as a newspaper reporter. But the reasons the stress levels are so high are because the job is demanding in many respects. This is a job with long and unpredictable hours covering meetings, trials, and breaking news. It's not uncommon to work all day on a story, receive follow-up calls from editors well after you've handed the story in, and then get called in the middle of a night to cover a murder or major accident. Good reporters are never really off duty.
Also, the industry is not faring well at the moment because leaders still haven't figured out a way to adequately monetize the product. That means many papers are downsizing (with some even shutting down completely) as fewer reporters try to do more with less – a stressful issue that looms over almost every reporter at the moment.
Job title: Emergency dispatcher Annual median salary: $34,262
The first half of this job title is a big tipoff as to why it's on our stressful jobs list.
When people call police and fire for help, officers and firefighters respond. But those officials only get to where they're going because of the dispatchers, who are at the front lines of many emergencies and who often mean the difference between life and death. Dispatchers not only have to collect the address from the caller and pass it on to police, they are relied upon by first responders to ensure safety.
For instance, a dispatcher may have to give life-saving information to the caller such as how to perform CPR or the Heimlich, all the while relaying information to responding personnel. And those officers need the dispatcher to find out how many people are in a building, if anyone is injured, armed, etc. before they get there. Mistakes by dispatchers can end with people getting hurt or, in extreme circumstances, killed.
Registered Nurse - ER
Job title: Registered nurse – ER Annual median salary: $66,517
Think about the last time you were in the hospital. You probably only saw the doctor a handful of times, right? It's the nurses who take care of the details and upon whom you rely for most things.
The emergency room of any hospital is a hectic and chaotic place. Medical professionals are running every which way to determine who is a priority and who needs which treatments. There's trauma almost everywhere you look, not to mention blood and other bodily fluids. Nurses are the link between patients and doctors, and are responsible for much of the routine care before and during treatment. Everything from catheters to getting patients another warm blanket is done by a nurse. Doctors rely on them, patients rely on them, and when mistakes are made regarding peoples' health, the results can be catastrophic.
Police officer
Job title: Police officer Annual median salary:$51,063
If your job consists of potentially putting your life on the line every time you punch in, that's stressful.
Police officers never know what they'll be dealing with on any particular shift. From breaking up domestic disputes to high speed chases to shootouts, it's all on the table. Even routine speeding tickets can turn deadly at a moment's notice, which is why police officers can never drop their guard for a second.
Commerical airline pilot
Job title: Commercial airline pilot Annual median salary: $119,958
Soar miles above the Earth while traveling hundreds of miles per hour with a few hundred people entrusting you with their lives? That can be stressful.
Yet that's exactly what commercial airline pilots do day after day. Sure the technology today is advanced and some people claim "the planes basically fly themselves," but try telling that to pilots like Capt. Chesley Sullenberger, who had to land his plane in the Hudson River when he encountered engine problems. Pilots who make mistakes risk being the cause of hundreds of deaths, making this a well-earned spot on our list.
Job title: Firefighter Annual median salary: $42,631
Firefighters choose an occupation that consists of running into a burning building when everyone else is trying like hell to get out.
This is yet another profession on our list that only exists because people are in dire straits and in need of rescue. And while much of the job is battling infernos at homes, schools, and offices, many firefighters are also licensed EMTs who assist at accident scenes and other endeavors like water rescues. Working conditions are hazardous and dangerous to one's health, lives are on the line each and every shift, and the very real possibility of burning to death (or seeing someone burned) exists at all times. It's the definition of stressful.
Job title: Surgeon Annual median salary: $342,520
I understand it's easy to look at that salary and wonder how anything can be stressful when you're making that much money. But hear me out.
Surgeons are literally cutting you open. Sometimes they take bad stuff out, other times they put good stuff in, and most other times they're fixing what's wrong. But the fact remains, these highly trained and qualified people are cutting you to operate on you and tinker with your insides. Any time you're dealing with opening up the human body, there's a large amount of stress involved.
As a surgeon, you're responsible for the life of the person on your table each and every time. And with so many things that can go wrong as you battle to make it right, it has to take a toll knowing one mistake – one wrong move – means you're forever responsible for someone dying.
Enlisted military personnel
Job title: Army Private – E2 Annual median salary: $18,127
I listed Army because we don't have salaries for the other branches in our database, but they would certainly apply here too.
Bottom line -- this job consists of going through basic training, learning the skills necessary to fight in combat, and then going over to a foreign country if necessary to go up against enemy forces. It is a job that all too often involves killing or being killed, watching the back of the person next to you, and witnessing unthinkable acts of horror and violence. And even if soldiers make it home, they still have to battle things like PTSD. The kicker is it's a job for which everyone volunteers.
In my book there's nothing more stressful than war and protecting freedom, which is why this job lands as #1 on our list with great respect.

Phase 1: Relief Care
Many people go to a chiropractor because they are in pain. In this first phase of care, the main goal is to reduce your symptoms. Sometimes this will require daily visits, or two to three visits per week for a time.
Most people are under the assumption that if they don't feel any pain that there is nothing wrong with them - that they are healthy. Unfortunately, pain is a very poor indicator of health. In fact, pain and other symptoms frequently only appear after a disease or other condition has become advanced.
For example, consider a cavity in your tooth. Does it hurt when it first develops or only after it has become serious? How about heart disease? Regardless of whether you are talking about cancer, heart disease, diabetes, stress or problems with the spine, pain is usually the last thing to appear. When you begin chiropractic care, pain is also the first symptom to disappear, even though much of the underlying condition remains.

The Nov. 4 death of George Lee "Sparky" Anderson is being mourned by baseball fans and countless others around the country, including in Detroit, where he managed the Tigers for 16 years and led the team to a World Series championship in 1984. "He was a remarkable person … a great human being and a man of faith," Cardinal Adam J. Maida, retired archbishop of Detroit, said in a statement. "The baseball world and our community have lost a great ambassador." He met Anderson shortly after his arrival in Detroit as archbishop.
"His world was more than baseball," added the cardinal. Anderson's charitable works included helping children in southeast Michigan.
Many news accounts say that Anderson earned the nickname "Sparky" to describe his "spirited play" when he was in the minors.
The news of his passing reminded us here at CNS of an interview our media editor, Mark Pattison, did with Anderson in Anaheim, Calif., in 1996, in which he talked about his baseball career, his decision to become a Catholic and how in 1987 he met Pope John Paul II during the pontiff's visit to Detroit. "I shook his hand, and he said, 'Bless you my son,' And that's probably one of the most memorable things that I'll ever remember," Anderson said. There's a tribute page to the baseball great on legacy.com with a guestbook that has 325 entries and counting.
