var blockOperations: [BlockOperation] = []

func controllerWillChangeContent(_ controller: NSFetchedResultsController) {
    blockOperations.removeAll(keepingCapacity: false)
}

func controller(_ controller: NSFetchedResultsController, didChange anObject: Any, at indexPath: IndexPath?, for type: NSFetchedResultsChangeType, newIndexPath: IndexPath?) {
    if type == NSFetchedResultsChangeType.insert {
        print("Insert Object: \(newIndexPath)")

        blockOperations.append(
            BlockOperation(block: { [weak self] in
                if let this = self {
                    this.collectionView!.insertItems(at: [newIndexPath!])

    else if type == NSFetchedResultsChangeType.update {
