Federal judge blocks Trump rule to require drug prices in TV ads
By Nicholas Florko @NicholasFlorko
WASHINGTON — A federal judge on Monday blocked a Trump administration regulation that requires drug makers to include their sticker prices in ads.
The decision, which came just hours before the rule was set to take effect at midnight on Wednesday, came after three major drug makers sued the administration in June, arguing the Department of Health and Human Services did not have the authority to require these disclosures and that requiring them violated the drug makers' First Amendment rights.
Judge Amit Mehta of the D.C. District Court found that HHS had overstepped its authority in requiring such disclosures. However, he did not rule on the drug makers' First Amendment concerns.
"To be sure, the costs imposed by the … Rule amount to a rounding error for the pharmaceutical industry," Mehta wrote. "But that argument misses the point. It is the agency's incursion into a brand-new regulatory environment, and the rationale for it, that make the Rule so consequential."
Drug makers will have to include prices in TV ads as soon as this summer
It's a big loss for the Trump administration. The proposal was the first major drug pricing policy finalized by the administration since releasing its sweeping drug pricing plan in May 2018. Other Trump proposals, like its plan to peg what Medicare pays for drugs to what other countries pay, are likely years away from being enacted.
It is not immediately clear how the Trump administration will proceed, but an HHS spokeswoman said the agency will work with the Department of Justice "on next steps related to the litigation."
"Although we are not surprised by the objections to transparency from certain special interests, putting drug prices in ads is a useful way to put patients in control and lower costs, and as seen from the President's executive order, we are working on many different avenues for delivering transparency," said spokeswoman Caitlin Oakley, seemingly referencing comments Trump made last week about a forthcoming executive order aimed at ensuring the U.S. pays less than other countries for medicines.
A more explicit authorization from Congress to require such disclosures would likely shore up the concerns raised by Mehta, and such a proposal has already been introduced by Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) The Trump administration could also choose to appeal the ruling to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals.
Under the Trump administration's original rule, drug makers that make medicines that cost more than $35 would be required to disclose their sticker prices in TV ads.
The challenge to the rule was brought by drug makers Merck, Amgen, and Eli Lilly, as well as the Association of National Advertisers.

This was yesterday's contribution to a Tableau forums discussion on data extracts, I thought it deserved a separate post that I could keep updated. There are some subtle behaviors and idiosyncracies in working with data connections, Tableau data extracts, and Tableau Server that aren't fully fleshed out in the documentation, here's my attempt! I start out with a review of the common file types and .twb vs. .twbx, and then get into some details on different types of connections and what happens based on different orders of operations, and toss in a gratuitous Buffy reference.
.twb – A Tableau Workbook. This is an XML file containing the metadata for a Tableau workbook that includes information about the connections to the data source(s), what worksheets and dashboards are in the workbook, calculated fields created in Tableau, default color assignments, Tableau parameters, etc.
.tde – A Tableau Data Extract that has the data from a data source stored in a columnar, highly compressed format.
.tds – A Saved Data Source. This is an XML file that has the connection information, calculated fields, color assignments, etc. that we might find in a .twb, only stored as a separate file so it's re-usable.
.twbx – A Tableau Packaged Workbook. This is a zip file (with a different extension) that stores the .twb and all data sources (not all data sources can be exported into a .twbx, for example cubes).
.tdsx – a zip file containing a .tds and the contents of the data source. I know this is possible, I've never seen one actually used in practice.
When we open up a .twb file in Tableau Desktop, Tableau reads the connection information and connects to the data source(s). When we open up a .twbx file, Tableau first unzips the .twbx (which includes the .twb and the data) into the user's temp folder (the location depends on the OS and the user's profile) and then works with that in place.
When we're extracting data, there are a few different scenarios depending on whether the Tableau workbook is a .twb or .twbx.
If we have a .twb (or haven't saved a workbook yet), Tableau will prompt us to save the extract as a file.
If we use the "Import all data" / "Import some data" options when we make the connection, Tableau will prompt us to save the extract as a file.
If we connect live then in the Data window right-click on the data source and choose Extract Data…, the extract is saved inside the .twbx.
Whatever way we do things, the workbook (the XML) also includes the connection information back to the live data source so the extract can be refreshed.
When we save a .twb, the .twb has the connection info but not the data, so all the data lives separately. When we save a .twbx, if there's a live connection then Tableau will attempt to save that data source inside the .twbx (not all data sources can be saved inside a .twbx, for example cube sources), which effectively makes the data source static.
When it comes to data connections, I have several classifications that I keep in mind.
Live connection to the data source.
A static data source in a .twbx, created by saving a workbook with a live connection as a .twbx.
An extract that is made from a live connection to the data source. This gets the double-cylinder icon.
A "naked" extract – we can directly connect to a .tde file as a data source. This gets a single-cylinder icon and is a variation on the live connection, only it's really a static connection because the raw .tde doesn't have the information needed us to trigger a refresh. I don't really recommend this unless you are very sure of what you're doing, if the .tde changes that can case workbooks built on the naked extract to start throwing up errors, showing [Calculation_2987347315671] instead of your actual field names, etc. Use a .tds instead (a bit more about that below).
A connection to a Tableau Server Published Data Source – this has four subtypes, the first are variations of three types mentioned above – a passthrough live connection to the data source, an extract made from a live connection, or a naked extract, and the fourth is a "static" connection to the data source (which is what we get from a live connection to a data source when we leave the "Include External Files" option to it's default of being checked, or make a connection to a static source where we Include External Files, there's a failure mode in this that I'll talk about further down in publishing).
An aside here: One way to think of .tds files is that they "wrap" any of the above connection types in metadata to make the connections re-usable, so instead of making the connection to the raw Excel file, SQL Server, Tableau Saved Data Source, etc. we "connect" to the .tds.
Connect live to a file-based data source, like an Excel file.
Save it as a .twbx. Tableau stores a copy of the data in the .twbx, thereby making it static.
Try to refresh the data, nothing happens. Grrr. Argh.
Create an extract of the data. Tableau puts the extract of the static data in the .twbx.
Connect live to your data, whatever it is.
Try to refresh the extract, and it will refresh. Yeay!
When we publish a workbook to Tableau with a live connection to a non-file based data source such as SQL Server, Oracle, etc., then we can choose the Authentication method and go from there.
When we publish a workbook to Tableau and the workbook has a live connection (including a connection to a naked extract) to a file-based data source, we get the "Include External Files" option. This default puts a copy of the live connection's data into Tableau Server (more on that in a minute), thereby making it a static data source. When we turn that option off, then Tableau Server won't copy the data and will attempt to use that live connection. Which is why we need to be careful about file paths–use UNC paths to be safe–and permissions, so the Tableau Server run-as user can also access your data.If Tableau Server can't connect, depending on whether the current worksheet is accessing that data source you'll get "An unexpected error occurred on the server." message, and possibly be sad and frustrated. You'll need to clear up the path & permissions problems.
If the workbook has a static data source (as in publishing a static file that's inside a .twbx), we will also get the "Include External Files" option. If we leave the default on, that static data is copied to Tableau Server. If we uncheck that option, Tableau Server won't copy the data and will attempt to use a live connection back to the source, only the source only lives inside the temp file created on your hard drive when Tableau unzipped the .twbx so Tableau Server is almost certainly not going to be able to connect to it and you'll get that same "An unexpected error occurred on the server." message after publishing.
When we publish a workbook to Tableau that uses extracts made from a live connection, Tableau copies the extract into Tableau Server, and preserves the connection information about how to get back to the live connection so the extract can be refreshed. Plus we get the Scheduling & Authentication option. (So even if you've used a .twb and stored the .tde separately, once you've published it Tableau Server ignores the .tde file, instead using and refreshing Tableau Server's own internal copy).
A workbook using a Tableau Server Published Data Source connection is a special variation of a live connection that is always live and doesn't get the "Include External Files" option. (Even though the Tableau Server Published Data Source might be totally static).
If we're using multiple data sources in a workbook, we'll see an appropriate combination of the above options when publishing the workbook. Wee!
When we're creating a Tableau Saved Data Source, the process is the same as when we publish a .twb or .twbx.
Where art thou, data extract?
The XML gets copied into Tableau's PostgreSQL database.
File-based data sources that are copied due to "Include External Files" being on are copied into PostgreSQL.
During the publishing process Tableau data extracts are copied into a Tableau server temp folder, and copied (and often renamed) into a more permanent location under …Tableau Server\data\tabsvc\dataengine\folder_[####]\upload_[GUID], where the the [####] is an unknown-Tableau-assigned number (maybe something to do with versioning of installs?) and the GUID is a unique identifier of the Tableau workbook (I think). This appears to be true whether the extract is a naked extract (that can't be updated) or one that has the connection info and can be updated.
I'm not sure what happens with custom shapes & background images. Since custom shapes are stored as base64 in the XML, I'm guessing they end up in PostgreSQL as well. For .twb's background images are left in place as external files, for a .twbx they are stored as files inside the .twbx. I haven't been able to find the background images anywhere on Tableau Server except in a temp folder so I suspect they go into PostgreSQL. If you have more information on this, please let me know.
Note that while a Tableau Server user is uploading and/or interacting with a workbook we will find various temp files with data on Tableau Server, but those get blown away as soon as the interaction is over and Tableau Server does its cleanup.
It's possible to update the .tde file in Tableau Server's …dataengine\… folder structure on your own. And some people (I'm looking at you, Tamar Foldi) have gone into the PostgreSQL tables to do hacky-things, and all of that is way into undocumented/break your warranty territory.
Correction 2014-11-02: This section has been changed from the original post based on a correction from Craig Bloodworth (in the comments below) and further investigation. I also added the extra info on custom shapes & background images.
Here's a scenario, that is very close to a real-life situation that was one of my early experiences with Tableau Server when I was trying to figure this out.
Connect to a file-based data source, like an Excel file.
Publish the viz to Tableau Server, including setting an extract refresh schedule.
The extract refresh works perfectly, only refreshing static data.
The original data source gets updated with new records.
The extract refresh again works perfectly, only it never sees the new records, only the static ones.
User tries to see the updated data on Tableau, and doesn't.
You download the workbook, try refreshing the data, turning off the extract, deleting the extract, etc., and eventually reconnect to the data.
But you repeat step #3 and have to go through the same thing over again. GRR. ARGH.
After getting bruises on your forehead from slamming your head against your desk, you fire up your search engine, and hopefully find this post that reminds you to be careful of what order you do things in.
Publish the data source to Tableau Server, leaving the default "Include External Files" checked. This makes the live connection now static, since Tableau copies the data to Tableau Server.
Reconnect to the Tableau Server Published Data Source.
Publish the workbook to Tableau Server.
You scratch your head, maybe go back to step 2 and repeat, and life is a world of pain and suffering until you realize that you need to turn off Include External Files.
I'm still figuring out what's my ideal workflow, and there's more that could be written about permissions, refreshes on Tableau Server, making and editing .tds files, and what happens when we download a workbook to edit or try to edit a Tableau Saved Data Source. So this topic will be revisited at other times, and I'd love to get your feedback in the comments below!

Save as Type-> Tableau Packaged Data Source (.tdsx).
Then you'd have the .tde as well as your metadata, and if you want just the .tde you can unpackaged the .tdsx.
Did I misread or is my assumption just wrong? I believed that the tde was the one thing that isn't sucked into the postgres database, and instead it lives in a guid folder structure. Your post seems to suggest that EVERYTHING ends up in the Postgres db.
Also Peter if you want to find the location of an extract linked to a data source check out the datasource.xml I seem to remember it being in there.
You're right, thanks for the correction! I'm trying to figure out where I got confused, I think it was a combination of not testing/searching quite far enough and Tableau's naming conventions. In past searches all I'd found were .tde's in the Tableau Server temp folders that would disappear (presumably from Tableau Server housekeeping), so I'd assumed that the .tde's were inside Postgres. I don't think I'd ever searched on *.tde, I'd always looked for specific file names.
Here's a test case: I'd created a .twb, connected to a Tableau saved data source (the CoffeeChain data), extracted the CoffeeChain data into "foo.tde" on a local folder, then published the workbook. I could see "foo.tde" on a Tableau Server temp folder, and eventually it disappeared. However, there was a "Sample _ Coffee Chain _Access_ 8.tde" file inside …Tableau Server\data\tabsvc\dataengine\folder_[####]\upload_[GUID] with the right creation date. I did another test by creating a materialize-able calc in my original .twb, refreshing the extract, then republishing the workbook and I could again see the the foo.tde in the temp folder, along with an updated Sample _ Coffee Chain _Access_ 8.tde.
Looking at all the .tde's on my Server, it appears that Tableau Server will name the .tde's in the dataengine\ folders based on the name of a saved data source, a Tableau-assigned name like "msaccess_41271_1234567890123456.tde", and sometimes the name I've given them in Tableau Desktop. I'm not at all clear on what algorithm Tableau is using for that.
I'll make an update to the post, thanks again!
Thanks for the Joss Whedon reference!
Whew. I'm exhausted just reading through the subtleties, complexities, and consequences, trying to keep everything straight. Thanks for puzzling all this out, getting it organized, and putting it in print so we can hang onto it.
I'm currently immersed in the memories of TDS files vis-a-vis published Data Sources. It's not completely clear yet, but the evidence is very strong that published Data Sources are weird in some unhelpful ways.
The short version is that Tableau Server treats published Data Sources differently depending upon whether the source is a TDS file (and there are flavors there) or a previously published data source. This poses a problem with my current client because there's a need to keep four versions of the same schema/metadata as the data undergoes continuous evolution, and need to use published Data Sources to avoid the problem with Web Editing ignoring embedded credentials with regular data connections (another problem needing fixing).
The idea to use TDSs to synchronize the metadata is appealing because of the simplicity of automating the synchronization. But Tableau Server doesn't propagate TDS-sourced Data Sources to the workbooks that reference it like it does "real" Data Sources that have been published and/or previously downloaded.
The data file management rabbit hole spirals down ever deeper. Maybe we'll reach to bottom some day.
8. when the extract gets refresh, it should update the data in my workbook on the server.
The set of notes that you copied from my post are not appropriate to your case, because Hadoop is not a file-based data source. I'm guessing that you made that connection because of believing that you had to work with a .tds or .tdsx. I'm not sure where you got the impression that you had to save the data source out as a .tds or .tdsx before publishing it to Tableau Server, if you know can you tell me? I've now seen a few Tableau forum posts saying that and working with .tds/.tdsx in conjunction with published data sources can introduce additional (and unnecessary, IMO) complexities.
2. Connect to your Hadoop Hive DB.
3. Generate the extract with any required data source filters.
4. Build your data source in Tableau, including any calculated fields, assign colors, aliases, comments, etc.
5. Refresh the extract. This will get the latest data and also optimize the extract to materialize record-level calculations so it will be as fast as possible.
6. Publish the data source to Tableau Server and set up the refresh schedule.
8. Start a new workbook.
10. Build your views & publish that new workbook.
* .twb – This is what I prefer, because it's a) saving the key elements of the connection information to the DB, the data source filters, and all the calculated fields, colors, aliases, etc., b) is small (just some XML). The local extract that is created in step 3 is actually extraneous to the published data source since Tableau copies the extract to Tableau Server and refreshes the extract there. There's also a timing argument to be made: In my case, once I've published the final workbook I may not touch the master data source for months, so when I need to go back to the master to update it (such as by adding a new calculated field, etc.) I'm likely going to have to refresh that local extract anyways. The steps for updating the .twb are 1) connect to the workbook, 2) refresh/rebuild the extract if necessary, 3) make updates, 4) save the workbook, 5) publish the data source and ignore the warning about overwriting the published data source.
* .twbx – Now you could use a .twbx and this has the advantage of keeping both the .twb and the local extract in the same file, however for some people this can end up with too large a file (or too many too large files) due to the size of the extract. In my case, using a .twb gives me the opportunity to delete those local extracts and only rebuild them when I have to edit the master data source. This would use the same steps as the .twb.
* .tds – Technically this is the smallest file that we could store the master Tableau data source in, however to work with it we have to 1) Create a workbook, 2) connect to the .tds, 3) refresh/rebuild the extract if necessary, 4) make updates, 5) save the .tds and ignore the warning about overwriting the saved data source, 6) publish the data source and ignore the warning about overwriting the published data source, 7) close the workbook and ignore the warning that Tableau will give you about not having saved the workbook. It's a couple of extra steps and requires ignoring multiple warnings, which I don't like to have as part of my own workflows.
* .tdsx – This has the same issues as the .tds along with the potential size issue of the .twbx, and uses the same series of steps as the .tds.
^^^ In this scenario the published data source that is an extract. The original connection information to the Hadoop DB is known to Tableau Server but not available to the Tableau Desktop user, so "Use Extract" is not an option, the user of the published data source is only connecting to the published extract. My understanding is that this is intentionally part of the architecture of Tableau Server published data sources so a developer can create a data source with the necessary filters, etc. and then publish it without having to give access rights to the original data to every user of that published data source. That allows for very fine-grained control of who sees what.
Note that there's nothing here about using "Include external files" because in this case the original data source is a connection to your Hadoop database. Even though the extract is locally generated as a file, the extract is connected to the original data source (as part of the metadata in the Tableau workbook) and therefore isn't really an "external file" as far as Tableau is concerned and Tableau won't even give you the option to include external files. "Include external files" only matters when connecting to Excel, text, or Access files, or naked extracts (i.e. a pre-existing .tde file that doesn't have the metadata connection info to the original source).
1. Open up one of the existing workbooks.
2. Connect to the published data source.
3. Use the Data->Replace Data Source option to replace the original data source with your published one.
4. Validate that everything works and make corrections as necessary. For example, changing data source can cause color assignments to be lost.
5. Save and/or publish the workbook.
6. Repeat steps 1-5 for each workbook.
Thanks a lot Jonathan. This makes so much sense to me now. Based on your suggestions, i am going to do the implementation and will update you about my progress. Regarding your question about why i was saving the data source as tds/tdsx, that's because i wanted to have a local copy of the data source that can also be used as a template for the other workbooks. The same way you are using a .twb file for storing the master data source. Initially i wasnt using centralized Tableau server data source. I had created an extract based data source and saved it locally as .tds. Using this local tds, i started creating my workbooks. whenever i wanted to edit my data source, i used to edit this .tds and then import it into each of my workbooks and do a replace data source. But i believe your approach of saving the master data source as a .twb file is better than saving it as a .tds file. Once again i appreciate your help. Thanks a lot.
You're mixing terminology a bit and might be going through more steps than you need to. The first thing to keep in mind is that you can publish a Tableau workbook without having to separately publish your data sources, each workbook can have its own connections. The main reasons to use a published data source are that the Tableau metadata (calculated fields, aliases, color settings, etc.) can be shared and you can have more control over the connection, for example if you publish an extract for datasource X then there's only one extract refresh required for a the published data source instead of needing to refresh that extract individually for every workbook that uses data source X. One drawback of published data sources is that they can be slower.
The published data source itself can be live or an extract (and Tableau can automatically refresh the extracts on a schedule). My recommendation is to try a live connection first and only use extracts if the live connection is too slow, see my recent post To extract or not for details. I'm suspecting that you are publishing a live connection, not an extract. The steps to publishing an extract are: 1) Connect to the data source in Tableau Desktop. 2) Create an extract. 3) Right-click on the extract to publish it. 4) Connect to Tableau Server to to open a connection to the data source you just published. (Tableau 9.3 removes the need for step 4).
When we connect to Tableau Server published data sources there are two things we can do: 1) If we click on the name of the data source then we connect to the published source on Server and the icon of the source in the Data window is the Tableau logo. 2) If we click on the down arrow in a circle button to the right of the name of the source then we download the source as a TDSX and connect to that. I suspect that's what you're doing because that's the only place Tableau creates a TDSX as part of normal operations, what you need to do is #1 instead to use the published extract on Tableau Server.
I suspect this may also have caused losing color mentioned above.
This is a wrinkle that I am urging Tableau to fix. It has been a long time known issue, at least since March 2014. Only recently, Tableau started taking this seriously following a wave of bug reports regarding this issue.
BTW, thanks for Jonathan's excellent article!
Great overview of the Tableau data storage and connections. Hopefully you haven't already answered this one as I've skimmed through the comment section and couldn't see the question asked here.
I work in a small group of just two analysts and a manager for a medium size company on the business side. My manager is pretty averse to any program language mixed in the process (us two analyst program in Python and SAS) and we are now converting all of our reporting from currently SAS queries then reports in Excel, to Business Objects(BO) data dumps to Excel and then appended to Tableau Data Extracts(TDE). He does not want any middle programming language bridging anywhere in the process.
My manager sees us just using Tableau, but I am expanding our predictive analytics capabilities through other tools outside of Tableau (Python & R mostly, some SAS). The Excel data dumps from BO have a majority of the data I am looking for, but have changed over time and been added too so they are not uniform…it would be quicker for me to spend time writing large queries in BO. But we already have these account level TDEs that have rich, clean, tested, vetted, and well structured data in them, and the data they contain already gets me like 70% of the data I want for the other tools. Here's my question, is there anyway to literally dump the data out of the TDE into a CSV file? Or would I have to recreate in worksheet a table of exactly what I want for all the fields, and then export the table that way some how?
– build a worksheet with what you need, publish it to Tableau Server, then download the worksheet as a csv.
One thing to be aware of is that the copy/paste functionality can use a huge amount of memory, and at least though Tableau 8.0 was limited to hundreds of thousands of rows because the MS JET engine would start throwing errors and/or crash. I haven't tried it with later versions.
Tableau should be easier to understand.
Thanks for the fantastic write-up!
We've been using data sources published to Tableau Server (extracts of Oracle data), but we recently ran into an Oracle tablespace bug that has prevented an extract from refreshing.
Our workaround has been to create a .tde file using an ETL tool (DMX) and save it on a network drive; we plan to set DMX on a schedule to overwrite that file and we'll publish an extract to Server that has a UNC path to the file and schedule it to refresh.
Before we do that, we're trying to figure out the next step. The published extract on the server that we're trying to replace has a ton of metadata associated with it and around 40 connected workbooks. t doesn't seem possible to simply change the existing data source connection from Oracle to our new .tde file, so I'm wondering whether there's another way to preserve the metadata. I tried creating a local copy of the server extract, saving as a .tds, and editing the connection in XML to point to the .tde file, but I wasn't successful in preserving aliases and it felt hacky.
Do you have any suggestions? I feel like I'm overlooking something simple.
Other than hacking the XML, you can use the Replace Data Source function and it will mostly work, a key thing is to make sure that every calculated field is on at least one worksheet or else you might get the dreaded [Calculation_########] problem.
I am quite new to Tableau Desktop and Tableau Server.
I do have a Tableau Extract (data source file) that is scheduled in the Tableau server.
I am wondering that if the extract is running and will that be impacting my users if they want to view the reports at the same time?
Can I stop the extract if it is running? I do not want to stop it using the tabadmin command is there any GUI function in the tableau server that I can stop it?
1) The TDE refresh is going to impose an extra load on your server, how much depends on the server size and current user load. Users can interact with the viz the entire time, while their interactions may be slower while the extract is refreshing once it's done then they will be seeing the fresh data. Monitoring your server during extract refreshes is the best bet on checking the performance. If you're running the extract on an underlying database (i.e. not Excel or text files) then I also suggest you check out the Tableau white paper on improving performance at http://www.tableausoftware.com/learn/whitepapers/designing-efficient-workbooks. Making sure your extract is faster to load is certainly one way to reduce the impact on users.
2) I'm sorry, I don't know of any GUI function to stop an extract refresh.
I have read your post and i have 2 approaches in my mind regarding my requirement. I need your help choosing one .
which scenario is better suited for me if i need to refresh the data monthly (Data will get updated monthly)?
Neither of your steps make sense exactly vis-a-vis your statement that you used "Include external files". In Scenario 1 if you've included external files then if you're downloading the workbook at the later point in time (step 5) you'll get a TWBX, and then you wouldn't get the TDE prompt in step 6. The only way I can explain that is if you have a TWB saved locally. However if that's the case then when you go to publish in step 8 you won't get the "include external files" option when you publish.
In Scenario 2 since you've saved the workbook as a TWBX prior to publishing then you won't get the include external files option either becasue the file is included in the TWBX.
That said, which of the following do you want to do?
1) Do you want Tableau Server to be able to automatically refresh the extract on a schedule?
2) Do you want to do a manual extract refresh that you trigger from Tableau Server?
3) Do you want to do a manual extract refresh where you have to download the workbook and republish?
I want Tableau Server to be able to automatically refresh the extract on a schedule..
is there any difference in publishing a workbook file as twb which is using an extract file and as a twbx file which is also using an extract(both are created from live connection to SQL server)?
This is helpful . But I have scenario where I joined data from sql server with Excel and connection is Extract . When I publish the work book options I am getting for my SQL server connection is to allow refreshes and for excel file If I uncheck external data files include then I am getting message that all users may not be able to succeffully view the dashboards .
If either are not the case then the file will not be accessible. Tableau gives you the warning message because it's all to easy for either of those conditions to fail. For example if the Excel file is connected to as M:\myShare\myFile.xls and M:\ is not mapped by the Tableau Server run-as user then the live connection will fail. Typically I use UNC paths like \\myServer\myShare\myFile.xls to connect to file-based sources so that way they will run successfully for both Tableau Desktop and Tableau Server.
I've been reading all over the place, but can't seem to figure out why published workbooks using a live connection to a published data source don't reflect updates made the published data source – like renaming a field, etc. I thought this blog post might be the answer to all my problems, but am still not making the connection. I have a sneaking suspicion that it is related to embedded data sources and the fact that the published workbooks seem to have them, even when the connection is Live to the published data source.
I've unchecked the include external files box. I've published the data source live and with an extract. Ditto for the workbook.
Is this enough information for you to point me in the right direction? It seems that it must be some simple explanation – dare I say this about tableau server?
This resources is so very helpful, Thank YOU.
I likely am missing it somewhere in here, but I wonder if I am connecting properly to refresh all my data daily.
I have 3 data sources in my workbook.
2 of the data sources are Oracle connections that I have extracts from.
1 of the data sources is a Live connection (excel file updated daily) to a Network drive (using the UNC path).
Currently, on the Tableau server, both(2) extracts for the Oracle connections will update daily (refresh daily scheduled) using the embedded passwords and such. However, the Excel live connection to the UNC path will not refresh. I assume its refreshing to the packaged "static" data instead of reaching out to where the real (updated) file lives. The viz appears but only has the static data from the publish date.
I have, in a different workbook, been able to connect LIVE to the Excel file via the UNC path and when published to the server I "unchecked" the Include File option, the Excel live connections is refreshed successfully daily. So I know the Tableau server has access, and this method works.
So, I have successfully published to the server all of these data sources separately and they refresh on desired schedules successfully in their own workbooks (oracle connection in 1 workbook, and the excel live in a separate workbook).
However, I am not sure how to keep the oracle extracts and the Live excel connections refreshing daily TOGETHER in one workbook.
Do I need to understand server published data sources more?
You are mixing and matching terminology a bit and taking that apart could take awhile, so I'm just going to focus on your first three paragraphs since that seems to be the core of the problem.
First of all you need to check your Tableau Server cache settings. The default setting is to refresh less often, so once you're sure the Excel data has updated with some new values in the original file then try out the instructions here http://kb.tableau.com/articles/issue/view-out-of-date for refreshing the view. If you're seeing the updated Excel data then the problem you're seeing is due to your cache settings.
– Open the workbook from Tableau Server in Tableau Desktop.
– Right-click on the data source and choose Properties… The Connection Properties window will display. If the File Name property is showing the correct UNC path to your data then there's something else going on (like there's actually a data extract in place). I strongly suspect that the File Name property won't be showing the UNC path and will instead be showing a path to a temp folder.
2) The workbook was created as a .twbx (Tableau Packaged Workbook). When the workbook is a .twbx any file-based data sources are placed in the workbook and become static. The solution here is to save the workbook out as a .twb and then publish as above.
*** A more permanent workaround is to publish the data source to Tableau Server (not within a workbook, but right-click on the data source and choose Publish to Server…), make sure you turn off the Include external files checkbox, and then in your workbook connect to the Published Data Source instead of the file. You'll lose a tiny bit of performance this way and have some maintenance overhead but you won't have to remember to turn off that checkbox every time you make a change to your workbook.
Replied to at the thread.
Thank you so much for this resource. I must confess I have to reread it a few times to really get it. And I have referred many people to this. Has this changes much with 10.5 Hyper extracts? It doesn't seem to of changed to me but I wanted to get your perspective.
It's changed a little. With 10.5 the extracts no longer automatically materialize calculated fields, we can force that with the Extract->Compute Calculations Now option. With 2018.3 we have the option to have multi-table extracts where instead of one flat table the extract contains the individual tables.
Thanks so much for this write up. I have a question about refreshing .csv file data sources.
1. .csv file is generated and stored on a Network Attached Server (NAS) drive. (Tableau run-as ID has access to this drive).
2. Create a .twb file on Tableau desktop that connects to the .csv (using full UNC path).
3. Set connection type to Extract. Tableau creates .hyper file and I save it in the same location.
4. Publish datasource to Tableau server.
5. Refresh data source on Tableau Server.
My question is that when the refresh happens in step 5, do you know what Tableau is doing behind the scenes. When it reaches out to NAS drive to read the .csv file, does it use some sort of file transfer mechanism? SFTP? (If you couldn't tell, my enterprise's security department is very thorough…they are having questions before they grant access to the Tableau run-as id to the NAS drive).
Hi Camille, in step 4 when the data source is published the .hyper file is copied to the Tableau Server. So the Tableau Published Data Source has three things: 1) the .hyper file, 2) the UNC path from your step 2, and 3) any other metadata that you've added like default formatting, colors, calculations, etc.
For Step 5 just to be totally clear, there are two refresh definitions in Tableau. "Refresh a data source" typically means re-querying a live connection or (if an extract is used) the extract. I'm guessing you mean the second definition which is "Refresh the extract" to pull the updated/new data into the extract, this can be manually or scheduled on Tableau Server. In the latter case Tableau Server is using the same SMB file sharing mechanism that Tableau Desktop does. So whatever permissions are set up on the NAS are respected by Tableau Server.
It helps a lot! Thank you, Jonathan!


Cousins said on Tuesday that he was called the n-word during the game.
The Boston Celtics have banned a fan for two years for directing racist language toward Golden State Warriors center DeMarcus Cousins on Jan. 26.
In a statement issued on Friday, the Celtics explained their course of action after Cousins alerted the team of the incident that night.
"Immediately upon receiving the complaint, the fan, who was a minor, was ejected," the Celtics said. "The following day, per our policy regarding any reported fan behavior complaint, the team initiated an exhaustive investigation of the incident that included reviewing video from multiple angles and identifying and interviewing numerous fans, security personnel, and police in the immediate vicinity.
"In the course of this investigation, we were able to conclude that the fan had been verbally abusive toward the Golden State bench, but none of the interviewed parties were able to verify the use of racially offensive language, and video evidence proved inconclusive," the team added. "Based on our investigation, the fan was issued a two-year ban from all Celtics games, and is also subject to lifetime probation pursuant to our policy. The punishment for any corroborated discriminatory language used towards any player, employee, or fan at a Celtics home game is a lifetime ban."
Cousins told Yahoo Sports' Chris Haynes that he had been called the n-word on several occasions. While Cousins declined to reveal where the incident took place, Haynes later reported that it was a Celtics fan that night in Boston who directed the slurs at Cousins.
"We were in contact with the Golden State Warriors through this process, sharing our action plan and the final discipline," the Celtics said. "We express the deepest regrets that this incident happened to DeMarcus, as such behavior violates everything the Boston Celtics have always stood for."
Such incidents have been subject to scrutiny since Russell Westbrook's public confrontation with a fan who also heckled him with racist language during the game. Westbrook said the fan told him "to get down on my knees like you used to," sparking the verbal altercation.
The fan was subsequently permanently banned by the Jazz.

Today was scheduled as a rest day, but for anyone who knows me, they would know that term does not sit easily with me. I can't do nothing!
Originally we had hoped to do the classic Tourmelet climb, weather permitting. Thunderstorms were forecast to hit Bagneres between 12 noon and 1 pm rendering this ride and climb as being in the ' not too sensible' bucket.
Instead we opted to do the Superbagneres climb which starts right in Luchon.
Luchon is another spa town so you can guess what breakfast was! Yes, bread only! Hardly the food for a cyclist! So I supplemented this with some coconut cream I had purchased from the local supermarket.
We dropped the paniers for this ride given it was an out and back ride.
The views were simply stunning!
Below are a range of photos from the climb.
The climb is 17 km long. At the top is a currently closed ski village. Great views over Luchon. I managed to fall off my bike whilst sticky beaking and now have quite a nice range of bruises on both legs and gravel rash on my buttocks and thigh! No photos, ha ha!
I am concentrating on the descent!
It was a very fast and fun descent back into Luchon where we went straight to a creperie for a nice galette and coffee.
Being our third spa town we thought we had better visit one and see what all the fuss is about. 15 euro for us into the level with an extraordinary sauna network in a cave that was founded in Rome an times. There is a network of 150 metres in the cave.
After extensive showering and cleaning procedures you enter the complex tunnels where the humidity is 100 percent with air temperatures of between 38-42 Celsius.
You find a seat somewhere in the darkened chambers and sweat profusely. back out for showering before entering the jet pool. We did this cycle 3 times and decided we could not cope with a 4th session in the stunning and incredible cave.
We then caught up with Annie for coffee. We met her in Tasmania a few years ago when she was doing a ride around the state with Prickles. They are about to head off to ride together for 6 months! Annie is now based in Luchon.
On the way back to our accomodation we dropped into a small restaurant recommended by Lisette and Sumi. What an extraordinary hour we spent there.
Bruno is the owner and chef. He was very loud and very, very drunk. He was very keen to impart many thoughts with us. It was difficult to get away from him, but he had a kind heart and although he is jaded with the politics in France, terrorism and yearns to live in a chalet in the mountains, he is a good cook and we had a nice meal!!
Very sober Sharron and very drunk Bruno. What is not showing in the photo is that Bruno is caressing my hands endlessly!!
So tomorrow we say au revoir to France as we are only 10-15 km from the Spanish border.
I love this photo! Hence it appears twice so that it is the lead photo when I "press" this to Facebook !!
Shame about the Tourmelet – given it is such an iconic climb .I recall doing it under similar conditions – raining on the way up – but fortunately cleared enough to allow us to finish rather than abandon.
Carbs Shaz – exactly what you need!! You haven't read the literature if you recokon your 'fat & ferrels is the right energy source!! Your climbing performance will improve 100% if you start using the right fuel!!
So Bruno was blind as well as drunk eh!!!
I'd been to Luchon (when we did the Tourmelet) but did not kbow of those caves – looks a great find – wish I had known this!!

The process of obtaining pharmaceutical drugs for non-medical use involves diversion, whereby pharmaceuticals are channeled from legal sources to the illicit marketplace. Diversion is believed to occur through a number of mechanisms such as sharing between family and friends, theft, overprescribing by health practitioners, internet sales, and doctor or pharmacy shopping.
Research to date has largely focused on the demand for pharmaceutical drugs, including prevalence of misuse, motivations for use, and the associated harms. Little research has examined the supply of pharmaceutical drugs for non-medical use, particularly in the Australian context.
The aim of this research is to gain a greater understanding of the diversion of pharmaceutical drugs for non-medical use from the supply perspective. An understanding of the source and access points of pharmaceutical drugs that are used non-medically, as well as the processes and people involved in diversion is critical for informing the development of effective prevention, treatment and law enforcement interventions to address it.
Medical supply in Australia – Secondary analysis of Australian tribunal decisions involving cases against health practitioners for misappropriating drugs or inappropriately supplying drugs to the public.
Non-medical supply in Australia – Semi-structured interviews with people involved in unlawfully supplying / dealing pharmaceutical drugs across Australia.

There are also rumors that this will serve a proposed power station in Denton MD.
This pipeline, like all pipelines, will cross rivers, farms, and forests, irreparably damaging the earth along the way. The areas it will "service" are not residential; in other words the pipeline is a conduit for profit for the energy companies behind it. As organizations, activists and residents in Maryland are pushing for the state to adopt clean energy sources, the powers that be are determined to squeeze every last penny of profit they can from dirty fossil fuels first. Maryland has already banned the destructive practice of hydraulic fracturing (fracking) and yet our governor continues to not only allow, but encourages fracked gas pipelines to be build, which destroy our environment. This happens under the auspice of "job creation" which has been proven false. The reason for these pipelines is profit, plain and simple.
We must stand together to stop this pipeline before it starts AND to push our lagging government to make the transition to support clean, renewable energy sources in Maryland.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (April 9, 2018) — Anaheim Mayor Tom Tait and Public Works Director Rudy Emami are visiting Puerto Rico on Monday as part of a group of mainland mayors and officials offering expertise, experience and ongoing connection with counterparts on the rebuilding island.
Mayor Tait and Emami are visiting Guaynabo City just outside San Juan, meeting with Mayor Angel Perez Otero and touring the city of 100,000 residents.
"We've all seen the devastation in Puerto Rico and wondered how we can help," Tait said. "This is a chance for Anaheim to be a resource for Guaynabo as it moves forward. If we can provide any insight into rebuilding or rallying the community after a disaster, we stand ready to help."
Guaynabo saw widespread damage from Hurricane Maria in September. The city is still recovering from power and water outages, damaged roads and bridges and thousands of destroyed or damaged homes.
The Anaheim visit is part of the Mayor Exchange program created by New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu and funded by the Open Society Foundations, a New York-based philanthropic group.
Tait is one of some 40 mayors taking part in the exchange. Others include Chicago's Rahm Emanuel, Denver's Michael Hancock and Jim Kenney of Philadelphia.
The visiting mayors and staff are offering advice and insight on applying for and deploying federal emergency aid, rebuilding and other disaster recovery topics. Anaheim will also look to learn from Puerto Rico as our city better prepares for natural disasters.
"Thankfully, Anaheim has not seen the level of devastation that has beset Puerto Rico," Tait said. "But we can share how we have come back from fires that impacted our city. At the same time, I'll be looking to learn from Puerto Rico's experience and how its people have rallied in the face of such challenge."
In October, Anaheim lived through Canyon Fire 2, which destroyed 13 homes at the city's eastern edge.
In 2008, the city suffered even more devastation with the Freeway Complex Fire, which destroyed or damaged 94 homes in east Anaheim.
Since 2010, Tait has led Anaheim's City of Kindness initiative, which promotes acts of kindness and stronger communities where neighbors know one another.
"Kindness builds social muscle — the ability of a community to rally in the face of disaster and rebound even stronger," Tait said. "As we have seen Puerto Rico, Houston, Florida and California, our first responders are stretched beyond their limits in a major disaster. Connected neighbors are there for one another in times of need. The ability to foster community resiliency is one of the most important benefits of kindness."

How to Protect Your Life Savings
Home/News, Wills & Probate/How to Protect Your Life Savings
The newspapers recently reported the sad case of Geoffrey Hough, an elderly man from Salford, Manchester, whose life savings of £56,000 had been fraudulently spent by his son-in-law. Mr Hough suffered from dementia and had apparently been tricked into granting his son-in-law, Ian Boardman, a power of attorney which he used to access Mr Hough's savings for his own purposes.
Even the most sophisticated person can become vulnerable as they grow older, so how do you protect your elderly relatives or yourself in later life from being taken advantage of? Is it advisable to grant a power of attorney?
Mr Hough died in March 2011 and his son-in-law's fraud had taken place over a period of four years, which would suggest that the power of attorney given by Mr Hough was possibly an old-style Enduring Power of Attorney (EPA). These could be created until October 2007.
EPAs were very flexible and simple in form and execution. They were replaced on 1 October 2007 with Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPAs) largely because EPAs were regarded as being vulnerable to fraud. There are more safeguards in place with LPAs than EPAs.
Under an LPA, a suitable independent person (such as a doctor) has to certify that the person granting the LPA understands what he or she is doing and is under no pressure to grant the LPA. The LPA cannot be used until it has been registered with the Public Guardianship Office, which provides another layer of protection.
A Property and Financial Affairs LPA enables you to choose someone you trust implicitly to deal with your financial affairs and to place restrictions or conditions on the way that the LPA is operated if that is your choice.
If there is no LPA in place and someone becomes incapable of dealing with their affairs, an application to the Court of Protection may be necessary for the appointment of a receiver. This is a relatively complicated and lengthy procedure and can be expensive. By comparison, the cost of drawing up an LPA is small enough to be reasonably regarded as an 'insurance premium' designed to put in place the best possible arrangements for managing your finances in later years if necessary.

Looking to go on a Aruba Family Vacation? Well you are going to make a lot of people jealous, but why not do it anyway? Warm sunny beaches which are calm enough to allow snorkeling for kids and see spectacular undersea scenes.
Aruba comes up a lot in discussions on the best places to take kids and it's understandable why. With scores of great beaches including family favourites like Eagle Beach and Baby Beach Beach. The location in the warmer southern Caribbean is going to give you maximum warmth and leverage during winter and Americans flock there in their droves. Don't worry there are more than enough packaged tours and resorts to cater for everyone - but we will get to those shortly.
Mum and dad are sure also to appreciate the safe and peaceful attractions like the cave system and Butterfly Farm. Aruba is also is a little less challenging than some other Caribbean locations and enjoys drinkable tap water and an established medical system.
On the downside while this safe and predictable Dutch colony with good food makes for great beach vacations it's not especially rich on culture and adventures. But if you are looking for a low crime, generally happy place read on.
When planning an Aruba family vacation it's nice to know the tourism body also has you in mind. Here is their video of an all inclusive Aruba Family vacation. For an island which is a little over 30 km long they sure do pack in a lot of family entertainment!
Another of the great attractions in Aruba is the compact, accessible and kid friendly main city of Oranjestad. While having modern conveniences the city also manages to capture the old Caribbean charm at the same time. In contrast to a lot of Caribbean towns this city is is not known for its parties and is quiet after dark despite it's good supply of bars and restaurants. Family Friendly street street food is also something you are going to want to make part of your routine - but we will get to that too.
To see a little of what Aruba looked like before it became popular and gentrified head over to San Nicolas. Baby beach here as the name implies has especially calm waters which fringe its shallow curved bay.
Such a lot of the top attractions in Aruba are family orientated you never need to try too hard. Some of the activities on this video include rock climb up marked limestone walls, mountain biking , water adventures, diving the reefs.
Located near all the hotels on Palm Beach a visit to the lush gardens and all the pretty butterflies that inhabit the gardens is sure to have the kids leaping around with joy. Butterflies from around the world are sourced and live and breed happily here. Enjoy the vivid colors and informative talks by the guides.
The closest thing you will find to a zoo on the island and well regarded as a quality tourist attraction.
Where to stay in Aruba for families really depends on persona preference. Choose from luxury resorts, all-inclusives, family boutique hotels and vacation rentals.
We have listed a couple of the top family friendly options here for those who prefer both small and large properties.
Also on Palm beach is the Playa Linda Beach Resort which is our choice for a larger property families can enjoy. If you like more of a destination resort type experience this is a good option.
The Baordwalk Hotel Aruba is out top small hotel choice for families. Located on a coconut plantation on Palm Beach this site lets you make the best use of the facilities, local restaurants and beaches nearby.
TripAdvisor is one of the easiest places to search vacation rentals by destination in Aruba.
Aruba only has a small population of about 100 000 and many of the top beaches to stay are located in the southwestern parts - including Eagle Beach and Palm beach.
High rise Palm Beach and low rise Eagle Beach (where a lot of the smaller hotels are located) are both located to the west but close to the the capital Oranjestad. There are also other towns of note like the old fishing village of Savaneta.
Eagle Beach is regarded as the top Aruba beach and is arguably the whitest and widest widest. There are top class accommodation options located here. #1 in the southern Caribbean by TripAdvisor.
Palm Beach is central to much of the tourist activity and is located in Oranjestad, the capital. Lots of the top hotls are located here including the Hyatt Regency Aruba Resort & Casino.
For the bigger fully self contained resorts head to Palm beach. Whle there are a few different budget options the size of the resorts in this area is what really sets them apart.
For a less well known and a little more out of the bay option on a moon shaped bay in Baby Beach.

Wash the tomatoes thoroughly, remove the stems, then juice the tomatoes with carrots and enjoy.
Do not juice the stems or leaves of the tomato plant, as they are extremely bitter and will ruin the flavor of your juice mixture. This juice is strong antioxidant and anti cancer.

You know, we here at HalloweenCostumes.com could use an imaginative Snow Queen and her chilly powers right about now. Winter has trapped us in our office. Can you help?
No less than 54 feet of snow sits swirling around outside! The howling wind is sweeping the snow into even taller piles, blustering into anyone who dares open the front door, and blocking the roads from anyone who makes it to their car. Now we are worried none of us will get home to our families. We might have to sleep on the hard floor, using all the extra fabric for pillows! Worse yet... the shipping department drank the last of the hot cocoa!
If only there was some bright little girl out there brave enough to save us from all this snow... She could sweep off our cars and clear the roads, whip all those gigantic snow piles into ice castles, and finally tell the wind to quiet down. If only such a daring young Snow Queen were around, we imagine she would be twirling around in a stunning dress like this—covered in glittery silver snowflakes, of course. Can you rescue us from this snowstorm and get us home before bedtime? Okay, we believe in you... just ask for permission first! We'll be over here at the office, searching old cupboards for packets of hot cocoa.

Later, the California Coastal Act of 1976 established the Commission as a permanent state agency with a mission to protect, maintain, and enhance the quality of the coastal environment. One of the Commission's principal goals is to maintain public access and public recreational opportunities along the coast, in a manner consistent with environmental preservation.

Apple pie: history, variations and recipes around the world
17 Nov. 2021, 08:28 | a cura di Michela Becchi
Perfect snack for children, irresistible guilty pleasure for adults: apple pie is a classic that never goes out of style. Here is how it's prepared in Italy and around the world.
The origins of apple pie
Soft or crisp, made with or without cream, baked in a shortcrust or puff pastry crust: apple pie is a cake with an unmistakable aroma, loved by all, young and old. A preparation that knows no boundaries, spread all over the world. Among the first written testimonies, is the one by Guillaume Tirel, French chef of the 14th century also known under the pseudonym of Taillevent. He talks of "tarte aux pommes", a cake similar to the North American apple pie, but with sweated onions stuffed in the filling, a technique that was very popular back then to lend sweetness to dishes.
Apple pie: the anti-waste cake
According to the most valid theory, the cake was born in the United Kingdom, but it it began to spread in America, in New England, during the colonization period, until it became one of the symbols of the local cuisine. What is certain is that apple pie was born before the invention of refrigeration, so as not to waste fruit: in the absence of an appropriate storage method, in fact, homemakers cooked vegetables in different ways to preserve their taste. From the American apple pie to the Swiss veja, learn about all the world's apple pies.
International variations of apple pie
The US national pie has identified itself so completely with its people over time so as to give life to the phrase "American as apple pie" to define authentic belonging to the USA. In the beginning, the apples were cooked in the oven and then placed on a layer of dough similar to brisé, which served as a container. Over time, Americans also began to overlap another layer of dough to close the cake, creating the apple pie as we know it today, generally served warm, à la mode, that is with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
A roll of thin dough stuffed with apples, raisins, pine nuts and cinnamon, is among the typical products of Trentino Alto Adige. Ideal for a snack or as a dessert after a meal, it pairs well with pastry cream, chantilly, ice cream or even a fine glass of mulled wine. An ancient folk tale tells that the sheet crust must be so thin as to allow you to read a love letter through it.
The famous French inverted cake was born by mistake in 1888 in France at the Hotel Tatin, managed by sisters Carolina and Stéphanie Tatin. The latter was in charge of the kitchen and her specialty was an apple tart, fragrant and perfectly caramelized. One day, during hunting season, Stéphanie hurriedly baked buttered and apples sprinkled with sugar, but forgot to add the crust. She therefore covered the cake with a layer of brisé pastry and turned the plate upside down: the hunters liked the dessert very much and renamed it "tart des demoiselles Tatin", or "tart of the two Miss Tatin", then later abbreviated to tart tatin.
Among the territories where apple pie is most widespread is Normandy: local tarte aux pommes is made up of a layer of brisé pastry which contains a soft filling of apples flavoured with cinnamon. Many more ingredients are present depending on personal taste: those who use pastry cream, others prefer whipped cream, others enriche the filling with Calvados or with ground almonds. In any case, always a success.
A good crumble can be prepared with any type of fruit, but nothing beats a classic British apple crumble, apple-based cake covered with a layer of crumbles crips dough, inevitable at the end of Sunday Roast, the typical Sunday lunch. The apples are cooked in a pan with butter, sugar, cinnamon and other sweet spices (usually nutmeg and ginger), placed in a pie tin and covered with layer of dough made with flour, sugar and butter that's crumbled with fingertips to obtain a crisp and crumbly texture. Once baked in the oven, it's served with custard cream, a looser British version of our pastry cream. Legend has it that the dessert was born following the rationing of food resources during WWI, when in the absence of flour and butter the British replaced the dough of classic pie with crumbs of shortcrust pastry.
Vienna apple pie
There's more beyond Sacher and sablé biscuits: in the Viennese confectionery repertoire there is also space for apple pie, very similar to the American apple pie, but with a different shell, consisting of two layers of shortcrust pastry rich in butter and eggs. In the filling, honey, raisins, walnuts and cinnamon, to which a little pastry cream is sometimes added. The ideal topping? Whipped cream, ice cream or zabaglione.
Apple veja
Typical pie of the Swiss Canton of Ticino made with puff pastry: inside are apples, milk, heavy cream, sugar and eggs, seasoned with cinnamon, vanilla or lemon zest. A simple and tasty dessert, often prepared also in a pear version. As always, there's also room for imagination: a good puff pastry is the ideal base to accommodate any ingredient.
The classic Italian apple pie is one of the most popular homemade desserts of the Peninsula, a simple preparation that is common to all regions, from North to South. No shortcrust, no brisé: only a soft open-face tart topped with thin apple slices on the surface. Most of the recipes include the use of butter, but it can also be prepared in delicious variants with olive oil.
Recipe: mini green apple crumble
110 g. flour
110 g. brown sugar
90 g. almond flower
90 g. butter, softened
3 green apples, peeled and cored
Chop the apples in 1/2 cm cubes. Cook in a pan with 2 tbsp of butter and 4 tbsp of sugar, until soft like applesauce, allow to cool. Prepare the crumble dough by mixing all the remaining ingredients with your hands, when the dough is evenly mixed, crumble it with fingertips. spread on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper, bake and allow to cool.With the help of a pastry bag, pipe the desired amount of apple compote into the bottom of a glass, cover generously with the crumble and finally garnish with icing sugar.
