Q: Hide Columns from heatMap I would like to hide columns in my heat map based on year selected from my yearSlicer(rowChart) but not on any other cross filters.

HeatMap:
                heatMap
                    .width(1500)
                    .height(800)

                    if (arrayMonths[d.Year]) {
                        arrayMonths[d.Year].add(d.Month);
                    } else {

                    hideYear(d.key);
                });
            });

Edit 2:
Having some trouble implementing the suggested solution, here is my grouping:
            var dimension = ndx.dimension(function (d) { return [d.Month, d["Manager"]]; }),
                FTEMonthGroup = dimension.group().reduce(
                    function reduceAdd(p, v) {
                        ++p.n;
                        p.color += v.FTE;
                        p.toolTip += v.FTE;
                        return p;
                    },

                    function reduceRemove(p, v) {
                        --p.n;
                        if (p.n === 0) {
                            p.color = null;
                            p.toolTip = null;
                        }
                        return p;
                    },

                    function reduceInitial() {
                        return { n: 0, color: 0, toolTip: 0 };
                    });

A: Unfortunately, although it seems pretty obvious that .cols() and .rows() should work as a filter, it looks like the chart still displays every entry in the group, whether or not it is listed in the rows and cols. Since the default is to pull lists of rows and columns from the data, I am not sure that rows and cols have much effect, except to provide a different ordering if you don't specify rowOrdering and colOrdering.
I think you'll need to settle for a fake group here, say filter_bins:
function filter_bins(source_group, f) {
    return {
        all:function () {
            return source_group.all().filter(function(d) {
                return f(d.value);
            });
        }
    };
}

var filtered_years_group = filter_bins(FTEMonthGroup, function(d) {
    return !yearsHiddenArray.includes(d.Year);
}
heatMap.group(filtered_years_group);

... Or something like that. You know the drill!

Nearly a month after undergoing a heart procedure, CC Sabathia is cleared for baseball activity five weeks ahead of Yankees spring training.
NEW YORK - Nearly a month after undergoing an angioplasty, CC Sabathia is on track for Yankees spring training.
On Tuesday, the veteran left-hander underwent a scheduled follow-up stress test and has been cleared to begin working out - which will include baseball activities - according to a statement released by the Yankees.
Sabathia, 38, is expected to be ready when Yankees pitchers and catchers hold their first workout on Feb. 14, at Tampa, Fla.
On Dec. 11, Sabathia had a procedure to insert a stent to clear a blocked artery at New York-Presbyterian Hospital.
A month earlier, Sabathia signed a one-year, $8 million contract with the Yankees, with the idea that this would be his final season as an active player.
The Yankees' 2019 rotation could be complete, with Luis Severino, James Paxton, J.A. Happ, Masahiro Tanaka and Sabathia.
General manager Brian Cashman said recently he's still seeking to trade Sonny Gray, though Sabathia's situation had impacted those discussions.
"The CC thing, when it developed, it slowed down my conversations because we had to see how this played out first," Cashman said on Friday.
"Once he has these follow-up appointments, I'll be in a much better position to fully engage moving forward on the Sonny Gray conversations we've had, or continue to slow-walk it while we make sure that CC is taken care of health-wise."
It is possible the club could delay making that move until Spring Training or the regular season.
Cashman added that "our intention is to move Sonny Gray and relocate him when we get the proper return, in our estimation.
"It'll happen this winter, it'll happen in the spring or it'll happen sometime during the season. The CC circumstance certainly has given us pause, because we want to make sure that we're covered and protected."

Welcome to the Freedom Fight Trilogy Page
Here you can purchase the books and read news and reviews.
The Key of F, Freedom Fight Trilogy Book One- released on May 8th, 2018.
Purchase Here!
"A fantasy dystopia with engaging characters in a dark and dangerous society. The Hunger Games meets A Wrinkle in Time." ~Goodreads
In the Industrial District of Algea, the history taught to the children is a lie. No one remembers the rule of Princess Effailya, or what happened to her. They only remember she existed before the castle disappeared.
When Fale starts to receive visions that come true, she doesn't know what to do about it. Then she uses her vision to save the life of a boxer (and her crush),and they find themselves being stalked by thugs.
The good news- she has the key they want.
The bad news- they want her too, dead or alive.
The Key of F is a fast-paced, suspenseful adventure, with a strong female lead surviving her dystopian society and solving the mystery of a hidden war, with her tight-knit group of friends and hot crush, that you won't want to put down. It's a must-read for fans who fell in love with The Hunger Games, Divergent, and The Reader series. If you're hooked on genre-blending sci-fi fantasy romance novels with action and adventure, you'll love The Key of F!
The Queen's Heart– Freedom Fight Trilogy Book 2- released June 22nd, 2019
"A great storyline and strong characters who lead you through exciting adventures…" ~Linda Wilson
"As the emotional tension slowly builds to a boiling point within the small group the ending is explosive, unexpected (despite hints) and dramatic." ~Steph Warren
Fale is confident she can defeat her enemies, but what happens when the line between love and hate grows so thin that friends become enemies? Can she survive in the wild when her worst enemy has her back, but no reason to protect her anymore?
The journey is hard enough, chock full of action-adventure and battles with the enemy, but the new experiences are dampened by adolescent angst as our brave reluctant hero now enters a love triangle of epic proportions, turning a tight-knit group of friends into a painful shadow of unity.
She's determined to discover the machine they seek, finding the strength to fight for the freedom of the mages. But Fale couldn't expect the tests they had prepared for her. Does she have what it takes to prove she's the one for the job? Is she truly the chosen one? She's willing to try, but even a warrior can lose her heart…and turn her back on everyone who needs her.
The Queen's Heart is a complicated emotional must-read of emerging romance with flawed characters combined with a tenuous journey through the mystery of the machine they seek. You won't want to put it down. Fans of the first book, The Key of F, Catching Fire, Insurgent, or Hero: The Slave series, will enjoy this story.
The Final Rescue– Freedom Fight Trilogy Book 3- Releases March 22nd, 2020
"It is so packed with action that there was no place where I couldsay, 'Ok time for bed now. I'll finish it tomorrow.' A must read."~Amazon Reviewer
Fale doesn't know why she has visions of the queen's past life. All she knows is that her magic becomes dangerously faulty every time she sees into the past. Through the visions, the mystery of Effailya's banishment and life of slavery is solved; the reasons of her heated parting with Gryndoll are revealed, as well as who the queen's secret lover was. And how that could possibly relate the Source Wizard to the Queen of Mages, herself.
The Source Wizard Gasten sends out his best efforts, but the new queen stays one step ahead of him. He may have found a way to send his spell to her. And if not, he's found the old wizard's journals, which are sure to give her weaknesses.
The Final Rescue is a face-paced adventure as the wizards and mages race toward their mutual destruction. A strong female lead not only survives her dystopian society… she solves the mystery of a hidden war, only to cause a new one, then battles both sides to rule it herself. It's a conclusion for fans who fell in love with The Hunger Games, Divergent, and The Reader series. If you're hooked on genre-blending, suspenseful, fantasy romance novels, with adventure, you'll love The Final Rescue!

Review by Steph Warren of the blog Bookshine and Readbows:
This book is labelled as Young Adult fantasy, but I felt the characters and plot matured into adulthood as the story progressed. From starting off with schoolyard gossip about boys and lessons, the protaganist soon finds herself running, hiding and fighting for her life in some very adult situations.
There is a large romance element to the plot, with a traditional love triangle causing internal conflict to rival the external 'lost magical princess' tension. As usual, most of the romantic strife is down to lack of communication between the relevant characters, but here there are also some legitimate concerns related to the paths their lives must take, which creates a more adult and authentic relationship trial.
The secondary characters are interesting, in that every single one of them has plausible motive and opportunity to betray our protaganist, so the reader is constantly left second guessing the support network, even as Fale must rely on them. Fale herself is an excellent main character, with natural flaws and strengths, and a genuine ability to rescue herself from tricky situations via mental and physical prowess, which had me rejoicing!
There were some odd moments amongst her journey to independent womanhood, where she expressed desires to be 'owned' by Nelson and then Koren, which sat strangely with the freedom motifs expressed by and through Koren, Effailya's Garrith subjects, and even Fale herself in their various oppressions by the aptly named Control. I actually found this apparent dichotomy quite true to life, as it is unsurprising for Fale to long to belong with her history of loss, even as she fights for control of her own life as she works toward adulthood.
The plot is superb. In summary it sounds like your standard YA fantasy plot: lost princess finds magic and has to save her people from an evil wizard against huge odds. However it is the detail that differentiates, and in this case the detail is exciting, chilling and fascinating. The magic factions are distinct; the setting a mixture of Hunger-Games-esque districts; and the idea of what happens to dissenters actually kept me up at night afterwards.
I am very excited for the rest of this series and hope Fale manages to resolve her love life relatively swiftly so that we can enjoy their great partnership tackling their corrupt, powerful enemy and saving the world!

The Key of F by Jennifer Haskin
posted on : january 17, 2018 posted by : bad habit books 0 comment
Title: The Key of F
Author: Jennifer Haskin
Genre: YA Fantasy, Dystopian
Publisher: Rogue Phoenix Press
Publication Date: Coming May 8, 2018
Format Read: Print
Stand alone or Series: Series, Trilogy
How did I get this book? Free copy from the author, in exchange for an honest review.
Description from Goodreads
Though Fale has never discovered who murdered her parents and left her orphaned as a child, she attempts to lead a normal and peaceful life. After all, she is training to be a peacekeeping warrior under the direction of her adoptive father. But, when she starts having strange visions that predict the future on her 18th birthday, it turns her life into anything but ordinary. Alongside her best friends and the man who rejected her three years ago, Fale must discover the truths of her past to achieve her true destiny.
Can she harness her inner warrior to save her people? And can she prove that she is no longer an innocent child to the man she loves along the way?
Though stated above, I want to reiterate that I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. And honest, I shall be… First let me say, I really liked this book. The following critiques might make it not seem like it, but I really did. This book has such great bones, it just needs another edit/revision.
The world created by Jennifer Haskin reminds me of Divergent or The Hunger Games. She did a good job building her world; I feel where the animosities are, how the world works, and what life is like for the characters. The basis of this book is a mix between lost magical princess and dystopian young adult fighting against "The Man." It's a good mix of both without being too stereotypical of either.
One problem I had with the book was continuity or I guess background is a better word. Please excuse the following examples for being vague, I'm trying hard to give concrete examples but to also not give anything away! To start off, the first chapter is 9 months previous of the second chapter. However, some things mentioned in the first chapter are never really explained and totally ignored for the rest of the book. Another example is when the main character, Fale, learns something midway in the book and immediately connects to the knowledge, saying she always felt a certain way, but there was no mention of any such feelings previous to that. My last example, is her friendship with one of the main secondary characters. At first the friendship really isn't explained so you assume (or at least I did) that the two had been good friends for awhile. Later in the book, the friendship is mentioned again and the conversation makes it seem like its a fairly new friendship and not very deep. Then almost towards the end of the book we finally get a fairly decent explanation of the friendship that I think was supposed to explain it fully but it fell kind of flat for me. I feel a few phrases of explanation at the beginning of the book really would have helped this situation.
Now let's get to the good parts! Fale is a strong heroine with flaws that are fairly relatable. She has a plan for her life, sh*t starts happening, and the plan goes out the window. If that isn't all of us, I don't know what is, Even if I'm dealing with ordinary life and she is dealing with visions she can't control. She is wondering who to trust and we are wondering right along with her until the very end.
While the language between the characters occasionally feels simple and one dimensional, other times I am right there feeling all the emotions and feeling as if I have a say in the conversation. The dynamic between the two main characters is engaging and I loved how their relationship developed and continued to change throughout the book.
Lastly, I loved how the book ended. Knowing it is a trilogy and that this first book doesn't come out until May, I was apprehensive to start this book (I have yet to master the virtue of patience as I wait for the next book in a series). But the ending did not disappoint. Ms. Haskin answered enough questions for me to be satisfied and left enough open to make me want to read the next book. I would buy it now if it were available.
This author is one to watch. It's a quick read with a strong female lead. As I said, great bones and I can't wait to see where this adventure leads Fale!
Review by Donovan's Bookshelf:
The Key of F Jennifer Haskin Rogue Phoenix Press 978-1-62420-258-9 $3.99 ebook/$10.99 Paper https://roguephoenixpress.com/
The Key of F is the first book in the Freedom Fight trilogy and introduces orphan Fale, who seeks a peaceful life after her parents are murdered. Her training with her adoptive father also directs her to become a peacekeeper, supporting her vision of leading a life that reflects the peace process.
What doesn't hold up to her goals in this fantasy saga is the turbulent environment around her which stems from sudden visions of the future, which appear on her 18th birthday to redirect her purpose in life.
At first glance The Key of F would seem to add to the teen dystopian genre with many of the trappings of better-known, similar-sounding titles involving a teen's maturity process, newfound secret powers, an evolving romance with a peer, and a confrontation with an oppressive social system. There are simply too many 'clones' of these themes in modern YA fantasy literature, these days.
But The Key of F offers many more facets than most of its genre peers: among them, a fast-paced plot filled with unpredictable changes that keeps readers on their toes; a focus on how a teen leading a normal life suddenly discovers strange new abilities and an alternative purpose to goals she's taken for granted all her life; and a series of consequences that stem from her decision to use her power to thwart death itself.
Readers who focus on the evolving romance between Fale and the charismatic yet elusive Karon may chafe at how a strong woman's newfound purpose too easily seems to be diverted into mushy clichés during the course of their relationship; but soft: The Key of F is about much more than young love. Scenes present the give-and-take of romance's realities and illusions, as in this revelation: "Fale was uneasy as his eyes narrowed. Was he trying to bait her? What happened to the sweet Keron from earlier?" which is tempered by a shy acknowledgement of her growing ability to affect another, just a paragraph later: "She loved seeing she could affect him, too. It made her feel powerful."
It's about a young woman making mistakes, recognizing her strengths, suffering from her weaknesses and some of her choices, and, yes, infatuations and maturing during the process of facing adult situations. As Fale connects with the things that make her feel powerful in her life, so readers are introduced to a rich world filled with satisfying descriptions, social and political challenges, and the story of a girl on the cusp of adulthood who is charged with not only moving into new adult circles and handling her emotions, but possibly changing the world.
The Key of F is a powerful read that will appeal to mature teens, new adults, and any fantasy reader who can accept sometimes-mushy romantic interludes as part of a young girl's maturation process.
The Key of F
I was first drawn to this novel because of the cover art. It has an appealing use of color, as well as interesting drawings of Fale and Keron. One can be disappointed by a book whose story does not live up to the promise hinted at by a good cover. Therefore, I was pleased to find that this novel contained plot points that held my attention. One such element was the group's search for a particular machine. It can only be unlocked with Fale's key, but the machine itself is also the "key" to saving her people.

I will start by saying I haven't read many fantasy/dystopian books, but Jennifer Haskin created a world that drew me in and kept me turning the pages. I liked the relationships between the the characters, especially Fale and Keron. I liked how Fale kept discovering new things about herself and how determined she was in following through with her mission. I knew this was the first in a series, but was still disappointed the way we were left hanging. Something should have been resolved, in my opinion. Still, it was a fun read. ~Jean Baxter
I received a free copy of this book. My opinions are my own.
What I really like about this book:
1. I liked the setup of the world Fale, Keron, Izzy, and Lisle lived in.
2. The characters were very supportive of each other. There seems to be a foreshadowing that maybe one of Fale's friends might betray her. I will just need to read the next novel in the series to find out.
3. I am glad the romance between Fale and Keron had them being married. The sex is fade-out with no major descriptors. Thank you so much.
4. There is no swearing in the book.
5. I really liked Keron. He was strong, smart, and not impetuous. A very caring and giving character.
What could have been improved:
1. Fale seems to want to be taken seriously. She seems to want to improve herself and help others. But she tends to become irrational and does stupid things that put her life and her friends' lives in danger. She does not do any analyzation on how to solve problems she comes across or how to preempt possible threats. I would have liked to see Fale grow in maturity and thinking power. I want a smart heroine. Fale seems to be on a very emotional roller coaster.
If you like to read about great fantasy/scifi worlds, and you do not mind a main character that will take you on an emotional roller coaster of impetuousness, this read is perfect for you. ~JP
"The Key of F" is book one of a fantastic YA Fantasy Series.
18-year-old Fale is an orphan warrior who has visions that predict the future. Fale is a character teens can relate to. Yes, she's special, but she's also awkward, genuine, and frightened. The secondary characters are fantastic as well, especially Fale's love interest, Keron, and her best friend Izzy. It's obvious Keron has feelings for Fale, but he keeps her at arms length, and Izzy is a best friend anyone would want. The story line is awesome – Fale realizes she's a princess with special powers who has to battle with a wizard.
The writing is superb and I look forward to reading book 2 in the series! Recommended for anyone who enjoys a YA fantasy! ~Kristy Gillespie
This week's I Love Romance Blog review selection is The Key of F By Jennifer Haskin.
With paranormal and sci-fi elements, this full-length novel is a great read. Fale, who is as down-to-Earth as this is incredible, begins a journey to find out exactly who she is. When she starts having visions of the future and trying to do something about it, will she change it for the better or worse?
Really, I cannot say enough good things about this book – the storyline is well thought through, the dialogue is believable and relatable, and the interactions between the main characters keep you reading.
This book is extremely well-written and thought out and I look forward to reading the next one in the series – I give The Key of F By Jennifer Haskin 5 STARS! ~Kevin Ethan

I adored this book's amazing new world building and political systems! I found the cybernetic-humans fascinating and Ms. Haskin's dialogue is moving and well crafted. Beautiful YA fantasy! ~Sarah Pounds
I enjoyed the creativity and suspense as well as the character development. Not a frequent reader of this genre I was actually surprised by how devoted I became to the story. At the end I was left wishing for the story to continue. ~Lois Herr
First of all I really love the story's settings. While some may complain about the clichés (the chosen one, the divided and oppressed society, etc), I say it's all about the twist you put on it. And I like that twist.
Then the writing is of quite good quality. It could gain from a little pruning on the descriptions, but it's nothing that hampers the story. The reading flows easily, and that's 50% of the book for me!
And finally the story line. It's quite good, the characters are NOT stupid, which is a rare trait. Maybe too rare, because they Fale does make a couple stupid decisions, but it's really OK. However, when I reached the end of the book is realized this made for a bland storyline. Whatever Fale does, she always gets out of it unharmed, with all her stuff, she never suffers any setback. Well except for Keron. Honestly that guy is to be punched. He's a real weathercock, and having 1 random paragraph of his POV at the end of some chapters make him even more annoying.
The one thing I missed from this book is side stories. The other characters are shallow, they how no depth and barely a wisp of background.
In a nutshell, I'll say this book is a nice start, and really promising for the ones to come, which I'm looking forward to reading. ~Iris Schechter

This one gave me serious Hunger Games vibes, but there's magic, so it's even better. Haskins has created a fantasy dystopia that is complex, but not too overwhelming. The storyline has lots of action and conflict, both emotionally and physically. Yet I appreciate Haskin's ability to write scenes of violence without being too graphic. Additionally, I love how the characters are flawed and make mistakes, making them easy to empathize with, and also leaving room for them to grow and develop over the course of the series.
The one aspect I can't seem to get over is the romance. I really want to like Fale and Keron together but there are just too many tropes. There's Insta-love, a love triangle, and Fale's dichotomy between wanting independence, yet also wanting someone to "complete her." It doesn't paint a very realistic or healthy picture of a relationship. However, the plot and the worldbuilding made the story worth it. ~Lindsey
If you enjoy reading YA fantasy then this book is for you. The talented author, Jennifer Haskin, has created a world full of engaging characters that face a dark and dangerous society. Fale, the spunky heroine, is drawn to her mission with determination and passion. The story moves at a rapid pace and unfolds a tale of not only magic, wizards, and warriors, but also an enticing romance. The dialogue is crisp, and the characters are well developed. I'm certain you'll find yourself rooting for Fale and her circle of valiant friends. I am eagerly anticipating the next installment of the Freedom Fight Trilogy! ~Karen Neary Smithson

A good start to what I hope will be a wicked action meets fantasy series. Fale is a young girl who is training to be a warrior while dealing with the usual teenage problems. She begins to have some strange visions hoping that she and her friends can understand what this means. Life takes a unexpected journey. This book held my attention and made me care what happens to Fale and company. Leaving me with a cliffhanger on what's going to happen next. ~Jennifer Bradley
I met the author, Jenn Haskin, (virtually) before I found this book, and she's a really nice, and equally talented lady.
This book is fantasy, and starts with a girl called Fale, whose biggest problem in life is being rejected by the guy she has a crush on.
But that changes soon.
After messing up fate's path and saving her crush's life, she's forced to go on the run and handed a destiny of her own. One that she's not sure she can handle.
Haskin blends in scifi with her fantasy world, which adds depth to the story she's telling. One of the main characters has robotic parts, which earns him a less-than-human status. There's scientific advancement, but there's also magic hidden in its corners. Both elements play equally major roles.
What I like the most about this book, is the realistic way in which Fale is written. She doesn't suddenly go from a typical teenage girl with superficial problems to this mature warrior who's going to save a nation. In fact, this book focuses on character building and political background, and sets a sturdy stage for the next part of the story, where the promised action can truly begin. ~Mina Rehman
The Key Of F is a fantastic cornerstone in building a new world of fantasy from the mind of Jennifer Haskin. The richness of the world is only tempered by the dark nature of the rigid class system found within. True fantasy allows readers to connect with other-worldly characters, and the Key of F accomplishes this by submerging the reader in a mad world with familiar themes. I was particularly drawn to the lower-class nature of cyborgs and how individuals who lose limbs are viewed as- somehow-less human for restoring them with cybernetics. Fale, the heroine, is also a page-turner in the beginning of her hero's quest from orphan to warrior. I definitely recommend readers dive into this world of love, loss, and magic to find pieces of themselves in the reflection of the fantastic. ~Jay Sandlin
First off, I want to say that I really, really enjoyed this book. It's pretty unusual for me to read fantasy for fun- usually I go for a contemporary or historical fiction, but books like this make me remember why I always end up looking fantasy.
There's something about fantasy- the worldbuilding involved, the magical qualities, and the unpredictable plots- that draws me in every time. And The Key of F successfully hit all of these points.
I want to talk first about the worldbuilding and plot. After all, as I said above, those are key in fantasy novels, at least for me. The worldbuilding is done really well in The Key of F!
Sometimes when I'm reading the first book in a fantasy series, I truly feel as if I'm reading a history textbook. I can't take in all the new information, so then I'm confused for the rest of the book. As a reader, I appreciated how spread out the introduction to the world was in The Key of F, and how a lot of it was blended in with the character's natural conversations.
AND THE PLOT. The plot. It's a crazy ride.
Unpredictable! Twisting, and turning! It was like being on a rollercoaster, in a good way. I truthfully could not have predicted anything that happened, and that made the book a thousand times better.
I also really liked the writing style. The writing style appealed to me, making reading The Key of F enjoyable. I liked the use of dialogue to move the plot along- it worked nicely. I ended up liking the third person narration more than I thought I would. Even though it wasn't in first person, it provided me with lots of insight on what was going on in Fale's head.
The main character, Fale, was definitely my favorite. I love her character. IT IS AMAZING to read a book with such a strong female character!
Fale is independent. She's strong. She's a warrior (literally- she's a warrior in the book). I find it amazing that after all the hardships she's faced, after being orphaned as a child, she's still willing to face more. She wants to fight, and I love that.
Besides the fantasy aspects of the book, romance also plays a pretty large role. Unfortunately, I wasn't the biggest fan of the love interest, Keron.
As the reader quickly finds out, Fale and Keron have a history between them. I started off disliking Keron because of this history, but as the book progresses I did grow to like him more. As he and Fale rebuild their relationship, he does become more likable.
However, I didn't like how he was so controlling of Fale. It's his job to protect her (his task is to be her bodyguard of sorts), but I felt like he spent too much time telling her what to do instead. At the end of the day, I personally felt like he was stifling Fale's desires to be independent, and that's why I just couldn't grow to love him.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this book! It provided great fantasy elements, a strong main character, and overall just kept me on the edge of my chair. I can see myself rereading it, and I'm excited for more books in the series to come in the future.

The Key of F is a YA dystopian novel containing some familiar themes but with a unique spin to them. Fale, our protag, is a teenage girl with teenage girl problems (i.e. guy trouble, struggles with self-image, etc.) All things most of us can relate to. However, she lives in an alternate universe in a country called Algea, that is separated into cities according to what they contribute to society. Her start in life was not the best being that she was orphaned at a young age. But after a friend of her father takes her in, life seems to go ok for her. She even trains to be a peacekeeper, which is a group that does just what the name implies, "keeps the peace" within the country.
Everything changes for Fale on her eighteenth birthday when she starts having visions that appear to be premonitions. These visions start a chain of events that send Fale on a journey of struggle and self-discovery, all with a supernatural twist.
The world that Jennifer Haskin has created is a big part of what makes this story such a fun read. There are some common dystopian-esque elements which may feel familiar (a big brother-like government force that monitors every aspect of the lives of its citizens, in this story aptly named "the control") but this world really is unique in so many ways.
The hierarchy of their society was quite interesting. There are the respectable members of society and then there are the "Fantocci" who have been injured in some sort of accident. They are forced to replace their human limbs with bionic ones, the expense of which they pay back by essentially turning their lives over to the control and "working it off" for the rest of their lives.
The Fantocci are considered subhuman at best, but our progressive heroine happens to fall for one of them, the hunky muscle-bound Keron. And so, the romantic subplot ensues and keeps us wanting throughout the entire story up to the very end!
Another strong element to this story were the characters. Fale is not your average damsel in distress. She is a strong female heroine who is more than capable of taking care of herself. Her peacekeeper training has seen to that. Even so, the depth of her character is such that she is strong, yet fragile in many ways. As an orphan, she has a strong desire to feel like she belongs. She was also raised by a man, and missed out on the relationship talks and makeup tips that mothers and daughters typically share. She is very inexperienced in this way and it makes her all the more endearing and relatable.
The supporting characters are all solid as well, each of them having their own interesting back stories. As a result, we have an eclectic mix of human and supernatural characters, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. It makes for a fun ride.
There are still many unanswered questions relating to Fale's visions, but that just leaves lots of opportunity for them to be answered in the next book, which I am looking forward to reading! All in all, the Key of F is a fun read and does not disappoint! ~Briana
The Key of F is an ambitious young adult novel that straddles a number of genres. It has the intensive surveillance and the high-tech body modification of science fiction. It has the wizards and mages and the Chosen One narrative of fantasy. And it has the makeovers and petty jealousies of high school and college books. It's not until about half-way through the book that those three strands come together and we see where it's all been leading.
The main thrust of the novel follows Fale, an orphan who has been entrusted with a mysterious key and who is on a quest to find her guardian and mentor, Nelson. But of course it's not as simple as that, and her investigations only present further missions. I did wonder whether her name, and 'Effailya', from which it's derived, could be a punning clue to where this series is eventually going to end up… We'll see about that one. She's variously helped and hindered by friends Keron, Izzy and Lisle, who represent other groups within the social makeup of Algea, and the differences between classes and occupations lead to some conflict between the four – something that will no doubt be explored further in later instalments.
I was fascinated by the brief glimpses we got of the system that underpins this world: where people are forced to work in an environment that seems set up to seriously injure them, at which point their only option is expensive prostheses, which they then spend the rest of their lives paying off. It was a neat satire on certain real-life systems, and I'd have liked to have seen more exploration of it. But I was puzzled, too: daiquiris, lasagna, katanas and rock bands suggested the influence of an Earth culture that appeared never to have existed in this world.
This is only the first of the series, so no doubt some of my questions will be answered in the next book! ~Kathleen Jowitt
I really liked this book. The story was well told, the heroine was fresh and the drama, compelling. Even though YA is not my usual genre, I really liked the way the story unfolded. ~Ellen Willis
Fale, Takanori warrior-in-training, begins having visions on her eighteenth birthday. When she realizes the visions are coming true, she intervenes and changes one to save the life of her crush. Soon after, thugs climb out of the woodwork chasing them with the intent to kill. Their only clue lies in the key Fale wears, given to her by her father on his deathbed. Could the key have something to do with her destiny? Can they live long enough to find the answers?
Haskin has created a fantasy dystopia that is complex, but not too overwhelming.
The story line has lots of action and conflict, both emotionally and physically.
Haskin blends in sci-fi with her fantasy world, which adds depth to the story she's telling.
The author has created a world full of engaging characters that face a dark and dangerous society.
The dialogue is crisp, and the characters are well developed.
My personal opinion is we have The Hunger Games meets A Wrinkle in Time; looking forward to see where this develops.
Highly recommend reading. ~Billie
The world you've created is quite fascinating. Robotic parts, sector differentiation, wrist band scanners- it's all something the modern reader can picture easily and relate. You've almost created an alternate -reality of our own world, which is utterly fascinating to experience.
–Morgan Stemberger (professional editor)
Overall, this was just a really great read! I enjoyed it so much and I think that if the rest of the book is as solid as this section, it will soon be ready to go out to agents and publishers. Congratulations on a great book!
–Jessica deBruyn (professional editor- http://www.trueimaginary.com )
The fantasy setting is well-developed and I enjoy the mixture of fantasy, contemporary, and futuristic elements. The necessary thought and planning to do it well is there, and I appreciate the inclusion of the maps at the beginning.
The story is likewise developed in a way that makes good use of the setting. Fale and her back story make a compelling focus for the novel.
–Aaron Kaiserman (Literature professor)
The plot premise seems to be, "young woman who has recently come into newfound power, must figure out what her gifts are and how to use them before what she doesn't know kills her." I think it can carry the story. There are some fairly interesting people, and lots of interesting undercurrents I don't fully understand yet, so that makes me want to keep reading.
–Rachel Hoff (English teacher/editor)
The perfect blend of action and romance, The Key of F is a gripping story that I was still thinking about weeks after reading. These characters will find their way directly into your heart as the intricate plot keeps your blood pumping from the first page through to the end. –Review from Jessica DeBruyn- editor
All hail the amazing Fale! The Key of F was an action packed fun read where the heroine fights her own battles. Fale and her group of friends show strength and intelligence as they work together to uncover the truth of Fale's past. They evade attempts on their lives with courage and cunning. The group dynamic among the characters is angst filled and satisfying and the chemistry with her handsome crush is sizzling. –Review from Patty Carothers and Amy Brewer–authors of Texting Prince Charming

Rodney Anderson has always believed in hard work, commitment to his family and to his community. He attended public schools, all within the GPISD. And he didn't wander far from home to go to college. He attended the University of Texas at Arlington where he graduated in 1990 with a BBA in Real Estate. He is committed to public education and serving others, and he has volunteered countless hours to the Boy Scouts of America, PTA, the YMCA, the First Free Will Baptist Church, and Rotary International.
Rodney is dedicated to serving the people of House District 105, and he is not a career politician. Having never been in politics before 2010, he made the decision to run for State Representative to truly make a difference and challenge a seemingly unbeatable incumbent in the State Legislature. With extremely hard work and applying solid business strategies to his campaign, he was elected in November 2010 to the Texas House of Representatives.
As a businessman, Rodney believes that strong, solid business principles are desperately needed in Austin. He applied these same principals during his freshman year in the legislature and earned the coveted "Taxpayer Champion" award from Texans for Fiscal Responsibility. He was one of only 28 house members to receive this award. He was also honored by the Texas Land Title Association and was named "Freshman Legislator of the Year" for his work on eminent domain and HOA issues. The Texas Association of Realtors also named him to the "2011 Legislative Honor Roll" for his work on private property rights issues.
Rodney Anderson is committed to using his business experiences over the last 30 years to continue cutting excessive spending and building on Texas' strong pro-business environment that fosters job growth. He also works to protect our public schools assisting teachers and schools, keeping resources at a local level and eliminating unfunded mandates on our education system.
Rodney is a proud member of the NRA and the National Right To Life. He is an affiliate member of the Arlington Board of Realtors, a member of the board of the YMCA and volunteers for the Boy Scouts of America.
Rodney has deep roots in our community. His commitment to the district is surpassed only by his commitment to his wife and family. He married Heather Jerden in 1991 and they have three children who attended public schools in the Grand Prairie ISD. His grandfather, Bob Harless, moved the family to the area in the early 1950's. He was a house painter and small business owner in Grand Prairie for more than 40 years. Rodney's parents, Bennie and Sandy Anderson, have owned a small property management company in Grand Prairie since 1986, and prior to the real estate business, his father worked for many years at a local defense contractor. His father-in-law was a school principal for more than 35 years, and his sister in law is a teacher with over 20 years experience. These incredibly deep roots are why he cares so deeply about our future. This is his home. It is his life. Raising a family with deep roots in the community is important to both he and Heather, and he will work tirelessly to continue to improve the quality of life for the people of Tarrant and Dallas counties.

It is unclear whether the reverse-direction myosin (myosin VI) functions as a monomer or dimer in cells and how it generates large movements on actin. We deleted a stable, single-α-helix (SAH) domain that has been proposed to function as part of a lever arm to amplify movements without impact on in vitro movement or in vivo functions. A myosin VI construct that used this SAH domain as part of its lever arm was able to take large steps in vitro but did not rescue in vivo functions. It was necessary for myosin VI to internally dimerize, triggering unfolding of a three-helix bundle and calmodulin binding in order to step normally in vitro and rescue endocytosis and Golgi morphology in myosin VI-null fibroblasts. A model for myosin VI emerges in which cargo binding triggers dimerization and unfolds the three-helix bundle to create a lever arm essential for in vivo functions.

Today, I channeled my inner Audrey when I chose my daily threads.
Black, classic cut dress. Pearls. Red nails. Red lips. Red heels.
Rocked my purple, leather Nine West purse.
I also wore my black "old man" sweater to make this more casual for the office. Plus, my office is cold and it was rainy today.
There was no question about whether or not to pile my hair high atop my head in a classic bun, but instead of working to achieve a sleek, polished one, I took the easy road and just bunched my curls and secured my bun with a few bobby-pins. I adorned my power-puff with a pearl clip right in the middle much like Audrey's hair bling in Breakfast at Tiffany's.
Pearl bracelets, my pearl and onyx ring and my work watch.
But shoes can make an entire outfit and my all black ensemble needed a bold pop.
Enter my deep red Delicious pumps.
I. wore. pantyhose. with. peep-toes!
… and I didn't shave my legs today.
Hogwarts T, Gym shorts stolen from my ex, flip flops, uncontrollable hair.
Thanks for reading! I've been receiving some much appreciated love recently from new readers and I want to sincerely thank all of you. I'm so flattered that anyone actually reads my jibber-jabber and the support I've been shown means the world! Thank you.
Today is the Jason Mraz concert (w/ Christina Perri) in West Palm Beach! I've been counting down the days for a while!!

The show was amazing. I was with an amazing group of friends (old and new). Christina Perri was fabulous opening the show hopping back and forth from guitar to piano.


Oregon has the opportunity to lead the United States toward a coal-free future and lay groundwork for averting the worst consequences of global warming. Alternatively, state agencies and commissions can bow to industry pressure and set a different kind of precedent, one of prolonging the life of a dirty coal plant for close to a decade or longer, in the process making it very difficult to achieve the reductions in greenhouse emissions which the best climate science mandates. Oregon's choice has become starkly clear in recent weeks, as the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality has laid out three options for the future of the Portland General Electric (PGE) Boardman Coal Plant.
One option for the Boardman Coal Plant would commit Oregon to ten more years of burning coal, while PGE invested huge amounts of ratepayer money into prolonging the plant's life. A second option would see the coal plant only slightly sooner, while still forcing ratepayers to pay for expensive upgrades. Only one option would require Boardman closing on a timescale consistent with Oregon's greenhouse emissions reduction goals. That third option lights the one clear path toward Oregon's clean energy future.
As I've written previously, students and youth activists in Oregon have been organizing for months to close the Boardman Coal Plant by the year 2014 – a date selected because it would allow PGE to avoid installing millions of dollars' worth of pollution control upgrades required on the plant after that time. Most notably, student governments at ten educational institutions in Oregon passed resolutions supporting the 2014 date, which collectively represent over 107,000 Oregon students.
At the same time however, PGE was pushing the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) to let most new pollution controls slide and allow Boardman to burn coal until 2020. Fortunately the DEQ rejected PGE's initial request for pollution waivers. Instead, the agency has proposed a tentative list of three possible routes to Boardman's closure: PGE can keep Boardman open until 2020 and install $320 million in new pollution controls; the company can run Boardman through 2018 and fork up $100 million worth of controls; or PGE can install only $35 million of essential pollution controls, and close the coal plant somewhere in late 2015 or early 2016.
I certainly can't speak for the hundreds of Oregon students who have rallied around a 2014 closure date for so long. But to me, the DEQ's 2015-2016 option seems like a reasonable compromise. In selecting that option, PGE would probably see little complaint from environmental groups. The utility could finally begin repairing its green image, seriously damaged by its months-long fight to prolong the life of Oregon's largest carbon emitter. On the other hand, if PGE continues to pursue much later operating timelines for its coal plant, it will have to keep fighting environmental groups – which haven't come all this way only to give up now. The 2020 and 2018 options for Boardman are unacceptable in terms of climate and environmental impacts, and the amount of ratepayer money that would have to be thrown at the coal plant to keep it running.
PGE has a clear choice: commit to the DEQ's earliest proposed closure scenario for Boardman, or continue the public relations nightmare which burning coal has become for this utility. Yet the choice for Oregon is even more stark. If the Boardman Coal Plant closes in 2015 or early 2016, the state will have a much better chance of meeting its greenhouse emissions reduction goals, and will set an example for the rest of the country. If Boardman continues to burn coal for ten or eight more years, utilities across the nation will seize the chance to ask for lifetime extensions for their own aging, dirty coal plants.
This shouldn't be such a hard choice to make.

Translation: Some of the Sadducees, the ones saying there is no resurrection, came to question him, saying, "Teacher, Moses wrote to us that, if a man's brother dies, having a woman and he without children, that his brother might take the woman and raise up seed to his brother. There were, therefore, seven brothers, and the first took a woman; he died without children--and the second and the third took her, and, in like manner, the seven also; and they left no children and they died, and afterward, the woman died. Therefore, in the resurrection, whose woman of them is she? For the seven had her a wife.
Background and situation: This event happens during the early part of passion week. Jesus has entered the city of Jerusalem on a wave of public support, and, at the same time, tweaked the nose of the Roman authorities by mocking their own triumphal (military) procession.
Jesus enters Jerusalem riding on a donkey as the crowds wave palm branches and shout "hosanna." This is in stark contrast to the Roman triumphal procession of soldiers, horses, military standards, the clank of metal swords, and the silence of a cowed and resentful people.
After entering Jerusalem, Jesus drives the moneychangers out of the temple. Some of Jerusalem's wealthy families had franchise agreements with their cronies in the Temple to provide moneychanging "services" for people who had to change their Roman money into Temple coin, a "service" they performed at exorbitant rates. Jesus' attack on the moneychangers was revolutionary. It struck at the economic power of the Temple elite and their wealthy supporters.
Controversy stories follow. First, the chief priests raise the issue of authority. Who are you to challenge us? In response, Jesus invokes John the Baptist, reminding his interrogators that they had opposed John, who continued to be a popular figure among the people. Then, he tells the parable of the tenants in the vineyard, a particularly violent story, and one of particular poignance in light of John the Baptist's death.
Jesus does two important things here: (1) He "allies" himself with the popular John in the public mind, and (2) he accuses the chief priests of having a hand in imperial violence. Jesus is ratcheting up the pressure.
Next, they try to get him on taxes. "Should we pay taxes to Caesar or not?" If he says "yes," he loses public support. (People paid up to 50% of their meager income in taxes of one kind or another.) If he says "no, don't pay taxes" he could be arrested for treason.
Jesus dodges the question by asking for a coin, a coin with Caesar's picture plastered on it, along with designations such as "divi et rex"--"god and king." Jesus says, basically, "If Caesar is so insecure he needs to go around plastering his picture on things, then let him have the dumb coin," or words to that effect.
Enter the sadducees--the concentrated power, you might say, of the Temple elite. The sadducees represented both the heart of Temple power and Temple corruption. They lived high on the hog in the Temple complex. The Romans made sure this Temple elite had access to the "finer things of life" in exchange for their help in facilitating Roman power and control.
The sadducees were staunchly conservative in their theology. For the sadducees, the Torah consisted of only the written text of the pentateuch. The pharisees--the "liberals" of their day, in a certain manner of speaking--took a broader view of Torah. For them, Torah included the oral interpretation of the written text. Even though the pharisees and sadducees were both opponents of Jesus, they were also opponents of each other.
In order to undermine the idea of resurrection, the sadducees pose the question of levirate marriage, the whole idea of which was to continue the name and lineage of a man who died childless. He could still have children after he was dead if his widow married his brother. Their children would be considered the legal and religious heirs of their mother's first husband.
Another "what if?" question: "What if," ask the sadducees, "a man dies and his widow marries his brother, but then he dies, then another, then another, and the woman never has children by any of them, who would she be married to in your supposed resurrection?" The issue is framed around children, with its relationship to lineage, and the woman as property--"whose woman will the woman be?"
In effect, the sadducees played the "family values" card. If we listen to you, they say, the whole structure of society would become absurd. You are undermining the traditional family!
Ironic aside: In this, the Temple was following the "family values" policy of the previous Roman government headed by Caesar Augustus, who was married three times, each one of them for political reasons. Augustus made adultery a public crime, although he himself had committed adultery with Livia, his third wife, during her previous marriage, and he continued to commit adultery with numerous other women after they were married. Hypocrisy on the question is not a new thing.
34 Jesus said to them, 'Those who belong to this age marry and are given in marriage; 35but those who are considered worthy of a place in that age and in the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage. 36Indeed they cannot die any more, because they are like angels and are children of God, being children of the resurrection.
Translation: Jesus said to them, "The children of this age marry and are given to marry, but the ones considered worthy to obtain that age, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage; for they cannot die any more, for they are equal to angels and they are children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
Marriage is an institution of "this age." Marriage was instituted to deal with the problem of death. It was a way of providing offspring who would continue a man's name and lineage into the future.
The important thing is not becoming parents, but rather children--"children of God" and therefore "children of the resurrection," which obviates the need for both offspring and marriage. Furthermore, in the resurrection, relationships will no longer need to be guarded by exclusive bonds.
Jesus includes both men and women in this--"those who marry and are given in marriage"--which was unusual in a time where marriage had to do with male property rights. Neither men nor women will need to marry to have an identity because their fundamental identity, which supercedes all others and casts all others into irrelevance, is the designation of "children of God, children of the resurrection." The owning of people will be over. All relationships will be transfigured and equalized.
Translation: Now that the dead are raised, and Moses showed at the bush, as he called the Lord God of Abraham and God of Isaac and God of Jacob, and he is God not of the dead, but of the living, for to him all of them are living."
But God is a God of life, "for to him all of them are alive." The NRSV inserts "of them," but this is missing in the Greek text, and, in my view, should not be included. "For to him, all are alive"--a striking note of universality.

This is actually a life-sized historic photo of Mr. Jeffords, affixed in front of the store, with his biographical information. It is part of the Cochise County History On The Move Project- a display to celebrate some of Cochise County's early influential individuals.
Mr. Jeffords is known to have earned the friendship of Cochise, the last free leader of the Chiricauhua Apache.
It is noted that the talks between Jeffords and Cochise helped to secure a peace treaty in the area in the late 1870s.
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed how the city of Bisbee set up the History On The Move display- as they placed each figure somewhere along Main Street. Finding each figure is like discovering items on a treasure hunt! What fun!


(CNN) -- A major fire broke out late Friday at the packing plant of a gourmet fruit company north of Sacramento, California, the company said.
The fire caused extensive damage to the packing house and cold storage rooms, which are "probably a total loss," said Robert Boggess, general counsel for Oregon-based Naumes Inc.
There were no injuries and no employees at the plant when the fire broke out shortly after 8 p.m. (11 p.m. ET), he said.
The destroyed rooms contained packing supplies, trays and wrapping papers that were going to be used to ship pears from the harvest in August, Boggess said.
"This is a devastating blow for Naumes and its employees who work in the packing house," he said. "We will do everything we can to restore jobs and return to the fruit business as soon as possible."
Boggess and the owners of Naumes plan to travel to California on Saturday, he said.
Naumes sells fruit gift boxes and other gourmet food items. It also grows apples, cherries and specialty fruit like persimmons at its 21 farms in Washington, California and Oregon, the company says.
The 100-year-old company is run by the founder's grandson and his wife, Mike and Laura Naumes.

El protectorado francés de Tonkín o Tonquín  (,ñ; ; Hán tự: 北圻) fue un protectorado francés del Sureste Asiático que constituía lo que hoy es la mayor parte del norte de Vietnam.

Historia
Perteneció a China desde el siglo II a. C. hasta la independencia vietnamita en el siglo X. Los franceses se apoderaron del área en 1883 convirtiéndola en un protectorado, siendo incorporado con otras regiones controladas por Francia en 1887 para formar la Indochina francesa. Fue el principal objetivo de la zona en las batallas antigalas después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial.

En 1964 ocurrió en el golfo de Tonkín un incidente naval en el cual dos destructores estadounidenses informaron haber sido atacados dos veces por lanchas vietnamitas, en la segunda ocasión llegaron a decir que les fueron lanzados decenas de torpedos. Este hecho se demostró ser completamente falso, al desclasificarse la documentación secreta sobre la guerra durante la presidencia de Bill Clinton. Esto resultó ser la excusa definitiva de Lyndon B. Johnson para solicitar al Congreso aprobar la Resolución del Golfo de Tonkín, que confería plenos poderes para que las tropas estadounidenses presentes como asesores en Vietnam realizaran operaciones fuera del recinto de sus bases, además de poder incrementar la presencia militar en ese país, pasando en un año de 60 000 soldados a 100 0000 y más de 500 000 al finalizar la guerra. Una vez aprobada la resolución por el Congreso estadounidense se inicia la guerra de Vietnam.

Establecimiento

Después de ayudar a unificar Vietnam bajo la dinastía Nguyễn, la Armada francesa comenzó su fuerte presencia en el delta del Mekong y luego colonizó el tercio sur de Vietnam, incluido Saigón, en 1867. Vietnam central se convirtió en el protectorado francés de Annam y la influencia francesa en la península de Indochina se incrementó. Durante la guerra franco-china (1884-1885), los franceses invadieron la parte más septentrional de Vietnam, Tonkín (entonces considerado un punto de apoyo crucial en el sudeste asiático y una clave para el mercado chino). Después del Tratado de Tientsin, todo Vietnam fue gobernado por los franceses.

Durante la administración colonial francesa, Vietnam se dividió administrativamente en tres territorios diferentes: Tonkín (en el norte), Annam (en el centro) y Cochinchina (en el sur). Estos territorios fueron bastante arbitrarios en su extensión geográfica, ya que la gran mayoría de los vietnamitas consideraban a su país como una sola tierra y la resistencia menor al dominio francés continuó durante los siguientes 70 años para lograr un estado independiente. Annam y Tonkín fueron originalmente una sola entidad llamada Résidence supérieure de Annam-Tonkin. El 3 de junio de 1886, el emperador Nguyễn Đồng Khánh delegó todos sus poderes en Tonkín a un Kinh luoc su (equivalente a un virrey), que actuó bajo la supervisión francesa. El 9 de mayo de 1889, se abolió la Résidence supérieure de Annam-Tonkin, con Annam y Tonkín separados en dos Résidences supérieures, cada una subordinada al Gobernador General de la Indochina francesa. El 26 de julio de 1897, el gobernador general Paul Doumer hizo que el emperador Thành Thái aboliera el cargo de Kinh luoc su. También la dinastía Nguyễn todavía reinaba nominalmente sobre Tonkín, ahora estaba de facto bajo el dominio directo francés.

Durante el dominio francés, Hanói se convirtió en capital de Tonkín y, en 1901, de toda la Indochina francesa. Las ciudades de Tonkín vieron una importante infraestructura y desarrollo económico bajo los franceses, como el desarrollo del puerto de Haiphong y la construcción del ferrocarril trans-indochino que une Hanói con Saigón. Según los planes económicos franceses, las minas que producen oro, plata y estaño, así como el cultivo de arroz, maíz y té impulsaron la economía de Tonkín. Las importaciones incluyeron arroz, productos de hierro, harina, vino, opio y productos de algodón. La industrialización más tarde condujo a la apertura de fábricas que producen textiles para la exportación en todo el Imperio francés y China. La influencia cultural francesa en Tonkín también fue significativa, ya que el francés se convirtió en el idioma principal de la educación, el gobierno, el comercio y los medios de comunicación, y la intensa actividad misionera católica resultó en que casi el 10% de la población se identificara como católica en la década de 1940. También se construyeron edificios prominentes en Hanói durante el período del dominio francés, como la Ópera de Hanói y la Universidad Tecnológica de Hanói. Para 1940, la población total de Annam se estimaba en alrededor de 8 millones.

Administración

Tonkín era un componente de la Indochina francesa. Era una colonia francesa de facto a pesar de ser un protectorado en el papel. La División de Inteligencia Naval británica escribió durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial que "al principio se mantuvo la organización política nativa, pero en 1897 se abolió la oficina del virrey, que representaba al rey de Annam en Tonkín, y desde entonces otros cambios han debilitado aún más la influencia del gobierno nativo". Tonkín fue administrado por un residente francés similar a los de Annam, Laos y Camboya, pero tenía una autoridad mucho mayor debido a la ausencia de cualquier administración indígena. Un consejo del protectorado compuesto por importantes funcionarios y representantes de las cámaras de agricultura y comercio, ayudó al residente a realizar sus funciones. También había un consejo asesor compuesto por vietnamitas.

Tonkín estaba formado por 23 provincias, subdivididas en phu (cantones) o huyen (comunas). La administración local estaba en manos de los mandarines vietnamitas, aunque fueron nombrados por el residente en lugar del emperador como en Annam. La unidad de administración más pequeña, la comuna, estaba supervisada por dos consejos: el toc bieu y el ky muc, dominado por los mandarines, con autoridad para vetar las decisiones del toc bieu. Hanói y Haiphong tenían consejos municipales nombrados por el gobernador general de Indochina.

Final del dominio francés

La administración colonial francesa duró hasta el 9 de marzo de 1945, durante la ocupación japonesa (1941-1945). Aunque se permitió la administración francesa durante la ocupación japonesa como gobierno títere, Japón tomó prontamente el control total de Vietnam en marzo de 1945 bajo la figura del Imperio de Vietnam y Tonkín se convirtió en el foco de la hambruna vietnamita de 1945 durante este período. Al final de la guerra, el norte de Vietnam (incluido Tonkín) se vio envuelto en la esfera de influencia de China, mientras que el sur fue ocupado brevemente por los británicos para que las fuerzas francesas se reagruparan y recuperaran el control. Harry Truman, en la Conferencia de Potsdam, manifestó su intención de devolver la región al dominio francés, en un fuerte contraste con la férrea oposición de Franklin D. Roosevelt al colonialismo y el compromiso de apoyar al Viet Minh. Sin embargo, después de que los japoneses se retiraron de Vietnam, Hồ Chí Minh proclamó el establecimiento de la República Democrática de Vietnam en la plaza Ba Dinh. Hanói fue ocupada más tarde por los franceses y el conflicto entre el Viet Minh y Francia estalló en la Primera Guerra de Indochina.

Mientras los franceses buscaban establecer un gobierno coherente en Vietnam como alternativa a Hồ Chí Minh, Tonkín se fusionó en 1948 con el "Gobierno Central Provisional de Vietnam", que fue reemplazado al año siguiente por el Estado de Vietnam, luego de la reunificación con la colonia de Cochinchina. Después de la derrota francesa en la Batalla de Dien Bien Phu en Tonkín occidental en 1954, se formó el estado comunista de Vietnam del Norte, formado por Tonkín y el norte de Annam.

A clogged drain hose pipe: This is the most common source of condensate leaks in home A/C units.
Damaged or cracked overflow pan: Check the overflow pan for cracks, holes, or other forms of damage.
Improper installation: Poor installation is a leading cause of leaks.
Dirty air filter: If airflow is impeded, you'll likely face problems like leaks.
Malfunctioning pump: If your pump doesn't draw out water from the overflow pan, then you'll have leakages.
While most of these problems can be avoided by regularly inspecting and maintaining air conditioning units, perhaps the most overlooked area of AC unit maintenance is the condensation hose.
In this blog, we discuss why you need to regularly inspect the condensation hose of your A/C unit and some simple maintenance tips that can help you avoid leakage issues.
A damaged or clogged up condensate hose is the most common cause of air conditioning unit leaks. The condensate hose drains condensation from your unit's overflow plan to the outside or directly into a drain pipe. If your hose or line is clogged, water backs up and fills up the overflow pan.
Water damage resulting from A/C condensation line leaks is more common than you think. In most cases, it goes unnoticed, mostly because A/C drain pipes are found in low-traffic areas, mostly on the outside and even inside walls. How often you clean your condensate line goes a long way in determining how efficiently your unit runs.
If not inspected and cleaned on a regular basis, mold and algae can grow inside and eventually clog your drain hose pipe, causing elevated levels of humidity inside your home, musty odors, and water damage in your home. Such conditions cause a health risk to you and your family, as well as unseen damage that will eventually cost you money.
How Do You Prevent Condensation Hose Leaks?
Most modern air conditioning units come with an emergency shutoff function that helps protect your device from damage if a condensate pipe clog is detected. While this feature is great, most homeowners are surprised when their unit shuts down out of the blue.
If your unit suddenly stops working or you're noticing leaks in your drain line, you could be dealing with a clogged or damaged condensate pipe. How do you inspect your A/C condensate drain?
Check the A/C condensate drain trap for any clogs.
Check if the condensate overflow pan or drip tray is missing.
See if your unit's condensate pan has its own independent drain connection.
Look out for any water stains or corrosion on floor surfaces, roofing, or walls around your A/C equipment and drainage routing.
Look out for debris at the opening of the condensate drain.
If you have a full A/C drain pan, it means that you have a clogged condensate drain pipe. If not taken care off, clogs can easily create serious mechanical problems to your air conditioner. How do you fix this particular problem?
First, you'll want to turn off the power to your A/C unit, even if it's not running. After that, check the tubing on and around the A/C to make sure there are no holes, cracks, or leaks in the drain hose line. If you find any, replacements have to be made.
Once you have inspected your unit and determined that there are no additional issues, you will need to remove the pooled water in the drain pan. You can vacuum up the water using a wet/dry home vacuum cleaner and dispose of it. Make sure that you've removed any debris or sludge that may be at the drain and also check the condensate drain hose termination for any obstructions. Doing so ensures that the outlet isn't blocked by pine straw, mulch or other debris.
After clearing the water, you'll need to go back to the source of your problem and fix it. Regular inspection of your unit's hose pipes must be done to ensure your air conditioner works perfectly. Consider taking these preventative steps when it comes to condensate hose pipe maintenance.
Every time you replace your air conditioning unit's air filters, make sure you do a visual inspection of the AC condensation pipe for potential problems like clogs.
Ensure the proper A/C condensation hose pipe pitch and minimize elbow connection angles.
If there's no room for minimum pitch, make use of a condensation pump to help move the water out.
Always check your condensation line opening and exit, and ensure there is water flowing.
Clean your A/C condensation hose pipe every 3-6 months.
Always consult your HVAC expert for any new installations, replacements, or repairs.
Regular maintenance preserves your air conditioner. Nobody wants to deal with a malfunctioning unit, especially when it's needed most. Identifying problems early enough is the only way to avoid emergency repairs and costly replacement of air conditioning units. If you're unable to clean your condensate hose pipe, experienced and licensed contractors trained by the Contractors License Resource Group ensure a smooth running HVAC system.
