Chekhov wasn't all doom and gloom!
The Garrick is proud to present four of his early and hilarious short plays, 'The Bear', 'The Evils of Tobacco', 'Swan Song' and 'The Proposal'. Chekhov himself dubbed these four early one-acts, "vaudevilles". Written for their earning potential at a time when the playwright's family was struggling financially, each of the plays deals with a subject that Chekhov would continue to explore in his later, more famous plays: love, in all its manifestations, glory and complication!
Translated by Michael Frayn ('Noises Off', 'Copenhagen'), the plays are witty and brilliantly constructed examples of Chekhov's ability to observe, dissect and ultimately pity human folly.
I've just spent an enjoyable evening at the Garrick's Lauriston Studio with Chekhov's?Vaudevilles, one act plays, translated by Michael Frayn, and written for the Russian Music Hall. They contain raunchy, low-brow humour and a farcical observation of human nature.
Take?The Evils of Tobacco. With perfect pace and intonation, Nick Johnson gives a brilliant performance as a henpecked husband, persuaded by his nagging wife to give a lecture about the title subject, unaware that he smokes. Instead, he gives vent to his feelings about her and his daughters.
The Bear?is completely different. Paula Keen plays a widow who clashes with an irate creditor (Jon White). I like Paula's violent yet positive reaction when he challenges her character to a duel. Their mutual chemistry shows when he demonstrates how to hold the pistol.
My favourite,?The Proposal, comes after the interval. A comical hypochondriac intends to propose to Natalya. No sooner does he appear than they argue. Then her father joins in. Thanks to Ian Fensome, Sarah Roberts and Graham Simmonds, this is the funniest three hander I've seen for ages, especially when the would-be groom flakes out, only to wake up to a champagne engagement celebration and more bickering!
Swansong?features a drunken, once successful actor who recites Shakespeare. Though only 68, young by today's standards, he rants about old age and death. It gives Richard Sails a chance to display his well-established Thespian skills.
I promise,?Vaudevilles, directed well by Angela Wetherill, will make you laugh.

Field note: NICE Foundation
Belenky
Nov 08/2010
Taking on maternal and child health is a tall order, especially in a country that accounts for about a quarter of all global infant deaths. In Hyderabad alone, two babies die every hour. The **[NICE Foundation]( http://healthmarketinnovations.org/program/nice-foundation)**, a Hyderabad-based organization that first opened its doors in 2002, has stepped up to the challenge, providing quality medical care for mothers, newborns, and children across Andhra Pradesh and Rajasthan. NICE's facilities include a much-needed modern hospital offering tertiary care to newborns and children in Hyderabad.
The CHMI team had an opportunity to visit NICE's main medical facility, the Institute for Children and Newborns, while in Hyderabad last month, a bright and clean building slightly reminiscent of a schoolhouse. Dr. Padmanabh Reddy, the organization's CEO, enthusiastically delivered the organization's mission - saving lives. Prior to 2002 when the Foundation was first registered, the city had only four public hospital beds for critically ill newborns. The organization's new hospital facility has now added 150 beds, about half of which are subsidized for poorer patients. NICE cross-subsidizes between its wealthier and poorer clients, offering more comfortable waiting areas and better hospital rooms to those who are able to pay, while maintaining simpler accommodations for the poor. One thing, however, remains constant – quality. Newborns are not segregated based on their family's income status and nurses do not know whether the baby that they're caring for was born to a high or low-income mother. This ensures that all infants get the same quality care.
NICE Foundation also implements school and tribal health programs, ensuring that children enrolled in public schools in Andhra Pradesh and Rajasthan, as well as women living in hard-to-reach tribal areas, receive necessary health care completely free of charge.
We were lucky enough to visit a local school benefiting from NICE's programs and it was easy to see the motivation behind its focus – keeping these precocious children in school, healthy, and smiling.

Since 2009, the National Network for Ocean and Climate Change Interpretation—better known as NNOCCI—has been a collaborative effort to raise the discourse around climate change and ocean acidification. Led by the New England Aquarium, this evolving partnership includes the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, Frameworks Institute, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, National Aquarium, Monterey Bay Aquarium, Ohio's Center of Science and Industry, NewKnowledge and Pensylvania State University and has been funded through the generous support of the National Science Foundation, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and Institute for Museum and Library Services.
The concerted effort of this project over the last 6 years has been to disseminate a mode of science communciation that is backed by research. This Strategic Framing approach is helping to shift the conversation toward solutions that our communities can implement to reduce the impacts of climate change and ocean acidification.
"The results of our evaluations so far show NNOCCI is having a positive impact. NNOCCI equips educators and scientists with four essential tools to bring their message to the public: knowledge about climate change science, effective communication techniques, a supportive community of NNOCCI members, and confidence to do this difficult work. NNOCCI members' improved messaging contributes to better understanding of climate change among people they talk to. In turn, these people are more likely to take action to solve climate change. These exciting findings demonstrate the positive influence NNOCCI already has, with the possibility to bring the message of climate change solutions and hope to more people across the US."

A ball screw (or ballscrew) is a mechanical linear actuator that translates rotational motion to linear motion with little friction. A threaded shaft provides a helical raceway for ball bearings which act as a precision screw. As well as being able to apply or withstand high thrust loads, they can do so with minimum internal friction. They are made to close tolerances and are therefore suitable for use in situations in which high precision is necessary. The ball assembly acts as the nut while the threaded shaft is the screw. In contrast to conventional leadscrews, ballscrews tend to be rather bulky, due to the need to have a mechanism to recirculate the balls.
Another form of linear actuator based on a rotating rod is the threadless ballscrew, a.k.a. "rolling ring drive". In this design, three (or more) rolling-ring bearings are arranged symmetrically in a housing surrounding a smooth (threadless) actuator rod or shaft. The bearings are set at an angle to the rod, and this angle determines the direction and rate of linear motion per revolution of the rod. An advantage of this design over the conventional ballscrew or leadscrew is the practical elimination of backlash and loading caused by preload nuts.
Ball screws are used in aircraft and missiles to move control surfaces, especially for electric fly by wire, and in automobile power steering to translate rotary motion from an electric motor to axial motion of the steering rack. They are also used in machine tools, robots, and precision assembly equipment. High precision ball screws are used in steppers for semiconductor manufacturing.
The ball screw was invented independently by H.M. Stevenson and D. Glenn who were issued in 1898 patents 601,451 and 610,044 respectively.
Early precise screwshafts were produced by starting with a low-precision screwshaft, and then lapping the shaft with several spring-loaded nut laps[citation needed]. By rearranging and inverting the nut laps, the lengthwise errors of the nuts and shaft were averaged. Then, the very repeatable shaft's pitch is measured against a distance standard. A similar process is sometimes used today to produce reference standard screw shafts, or master manufacturing screw shafts.[citation needed]
A ball screw is used to expand the Deployable Tower Assembly (DTA) structure on the James Webb Space Telescope.
Description and operation[edit]
To maintain their inherent accuracy and ensure long life, great care is needed to avoid contamination with dirt and abrasive particles. This may be achieved by using rubber or leather bellows to completely or partially enclose the working surfaces. Another solution is to use a positive pressure of filtered air when they are used in a semi-sealed or open enclosure.
While reducing friction, ball screws can operate with some preload, effectively eliminating backlash (slop) between input (rotation) and output (linear motion). This feature is essential when they are used in computer-controlled motion-control systems, e.g., CNC machine tools and high precision motion applications (e.g., wire bonding).
Low friction in ball screws yields high mechanical efficiency compared to alternatives. A typical ball screw may be 90 percent efficient, versus 20 to 25 percent efficiency of an Acme lead screw of equal size. Lack of sliding friction between the nut and screw lends itself to extended lifespan of the screw assembly (especially in no-backlash systems), reducing downtime for maintenance and parts replacement, while also decreasing demand for lubrication. This, combined with their overall performance benefits and reduced power requirements, may offset the initial costs of using ball screws.
Ball screws may also reduce or eliminate backlash common in lead screw and nut combinations. The balls may be preloaded so that there is no "wiggle" between the ball screw and ball nut. This is particularly desirable in applications where the load on the screw varies quickly, such as machine tools.
Disadvantages[edit]
Depending upon their lead angle, ball screws can be back-driven due to their low internal friction (i.e., the screw shaft can be driven linearly to rotate the ball nut). They are usually undesirable for hand-fed machine tools, as the stiffness of a servomotor is required to keep the cutter from grabbing the work and self-feeding, that is, where the cutter and workpiece exceed the optimum feedrate and effectively jam or crash together, ruining the cutter and workpiece. Cost is also a major factor as Acme screws are cheaper to manufacture.
Manufacture[edit]
Ball screw shafts may be fabricated by rolling, yielding a less precise, but inexpensive and mechanically efficient product. Rolled ball screws have a positional precision of several thousandths of an inch per foot.
Accuracy[edit]
High-precision screw shafts are typically precise to one thousandth of an inch per foot (830 nanometers per centimeter) or better. They have historically been machined to gross shape, case-hardened, and then ground. The three step process is needed because high temperature machining distorts the work-piece.[1] Hard whirling is a recent (2008) precision machining technique that minimizes heating of the work, and can produce precision screws from case-hardened bar stock.[2]
Instrument quality screw shafts are typically precise to 250 nanometers per centimeter. They are produced on precision milling machines with optical distance measuring equipment and special tooling. Similar machines are used to produce optical lenses and mirrors. Instrument screw shafts are generally made of Invar, to prevent temperature from changing tolerances too much.
Ball screw are classified using "accuracy grades" from C0 (most precise) to C10.[3]
Ball return systems[edit]
The circulating balls travel inside the thread form of the screw and nut, and balls are recirculated through various types of return mechanisms. If the ball nut did not have a return mechanism the balls would fall out of the end of the ball nut when they reached the end of the nut. For this reason several different recirculation methods have been developed.
An external ballnut employs a stamped tube which picks up balls from the raceway by use of a small pick-up finger. Balls travel inside the tube and are then replaced back into the thread raceway.
An internal button ballnut employs a machined or cast button style return which allows balls to exit the raceway track and move one thread then reenter the raceway.
An endcap return ball nut employs a cap on the end of the ball nut. The cap is machined to pick up balls coming out of the end of the nut and direct them down holes which are bored transversely down the ballnut. The complement cap on the other side of the nut directs balls back into the raceway.
The returning balls are not under significant mechanical load and the return path may incorporate injection moulded low-friction plastic parts.
Thread profile[edit]
To obtain proper rolling action of the balls, as in a standard ball bearing, it is necessary that, when loaded in one direction, the ball makes contact at one point with the nut, and one point with the screw. In practice, most ball screws are designed to be lightly preloaded, so that there is at least a slight load on the ball at four points, two in contact with the nut and two in contact with the screw. This is accomplished by using a thread profile that has a slightly larger radius than the ball, the difference in radii being kept small (e.g. a simple V thread with flat faces is unsuitable) so that elastic deformation around the point of contact allows a small, but non-zero contact area to be obtained, like any other rolling element bearing. To this end, the threads are usually machined as a "gothic arch" profile. If a simple semicircular thread profile were used, contact would only be at two points, on the outer and inner edges, which would not resist axial loading.
Preloading[edit]
To remove backlash and obtain the optimum stiffness and wear characteristics for a given application, a controlled amount of preload is usually applied. This is accomplished in some cases by machining the components such that the balls are a "tight" fit when assembled, however this gives poor control of the preload, and cannot be adjusted to allow for wear. It is more common to design the ball nut as effectively two separate nuts which are tightly coupled mechanically, with adjustment by either rotating one nut with respect to the other, so creating a relative axial displacement, or by retaining both nuts tightly together axially and rotating one with respect to the other, so that its set of balls is displaced axially to create the preload.
Equations[edit]
T = F l 2 π ν {\displaystyle T={\frac {Fl}{2\pi \nu }}}
with the rotary input driving in the conventional way, or
F = 2 π ν T l {\displaystyle F={\frac {2\pi \nu T}{l}}}
if the linear force is backdriving the system
Where T {\displaystyle {\mathit {T}}} is torque applied to screw or nut, F {\displaystyle {\mathit {F}}} is linear force applied, l {\displaystyle {\mathit {l}}} is ball screw lead, and ν {\displaystyle \nu } is ball screw efficiency.
Selection of the standard to be used is an agreement between the supplier and the user and has some significance in the design of the screw. In the United States, ASME has developed the B5.48-1977 Standard entitled "Ball Screws".

Criminal Cartels And The Rule Of Law In Mexico: Summary, PDF
The cartels have thousands of gunmen and have morphed into diversified crime groups that not only traffic drugs, but also conduct mass kidnappings, oversee extortion rackets and steal from the state oil industry. The military still fights them in much of the country on controversial missions too often ending in shooting rather than prosecutions. If Peña Nieto does not build an effective police and justice system, the violence may continue or worsen. But major institutional improvements and more efficient, comprehensive social programs could mean real hope for sustainable peace and justice.

Cyberwar In The Underworld: Anonymous versus Los Zetas in Mexico
Little attention has been paid to non-state actors conducting cyberwars against each other and the disruptive effects these wars can have on nation-states. This article explores the online clash between the hacker group, Anonymous, and the Mexican drug cartel, Los Zetas. This type of cyberwar was unique: it was an incident where two clandestine non-state groups used the digital domain to attack each other and it was largely a private affair. Yet the incident had public consequences that left the Mexican government as a bystander. Such criminal activity beyond the reach of government intervention blurs the line between public safety and national security.

The Logic Of Violence In Criminal War
Why do drug cartels fight states? Episodes of armed conflict between drug cartels and states in Colombia, Brazil and Mexico have demonstrated that 'criminal wars' can be just as destructive as civil wars. Yet insurgents in civil wars stand a reasonable chance of winning formal concessions of territory or outright victory. Why fight the state, if like drug cartels, you seek neither to topple nor secede from it?

This is, perhaps, the most important thing about the failing War on Drugs. We are making war on ourselves, and the battlefields have been on the periphery of the economy, in other countries. But, with each passing year, the drugs gangs get stronger, directly because we are fighting them. And the conflict moves further and further toward the center.
Once upon a time, we were losing Mexico. Now we've lost it, and we're losing Detroit.
The only way out of this war is not to fight it. We cannot win a war against ourselves. It cannot be done.

It's a war where one side refuses to remove almost all of the income of the other side, and one where the better you do against one the more well-funded the remaining participants become.
At some point, it will make more sense for the cartels to have hearts and minds social welfare programs themselves and just replace the state entirely to get the population on side. See: Hamas, Hezbollah.

I don't know about that. The cartels aren't there to replace the government and don't really need the population's support, just their non-interference. I'm not sure they really want to destroy the government, either. Probably the best-case for the cartels is a government that is too incompetent or corrupt to interfere with them, but strong enough to stop random people from producing drugs on their own.

They are apparently getting a lot of pushback in some areas because the state has already failed and not much has replaced it. If you want a more direct comparison, the Mafia at least make things orderly in return for the protection money. People like order, and will support people who bring it. The support of the local population is insanely great for criminal enterprises, and the cost to do it is not that high.

A Mexico Border Shootout Reveals Effort to Cover Up Violence
Inconsistent reports about a March 10 gun battle in Reynosa, along the US-Mexico border, illustrate how little verifiable information is available on what is happening in that and other areas of Mexico, and how citizen journalists and social networks are increasingly the only sources left to catch a glimpse of what appears to be an all-out war.
By most accounts, for Reynosa -- which sits across from McAllen, Texas, in the embattled Tamaulipas state -- March 10 was brutal.

Countering Criminal Street Gangs: Lessons from the Counterinsurgent Battlespace
Criminal street gang members are not insurgents, and street gangs are not insurgencies. Law enforcement agencies are not the military, and our cities are not legitimate battlefields. However, insurgent fighters operating in countries around the globe and domestic street gang members engaged in criminal behavior share more in common than we often care to openly admit. The most obvious similarities between the two groups can be described based upon what we overtly note:

U.S. President Donald Trump speaks to reporters as he departs for Bedminster, New Jersey, from the White House in Washington, US., September 29, 2017. (Reuters)
Reuters Friday, 6 October 2017

"We must not allow Iran ... to obtain nuclear weapons," Trump said during a meeting with military leaders at the White House.
"The Iranian regime supports terrorism and exports violence, bloodshed and chaos across the Middle East. That is why we must put an end to Iran's continued aggression and nuclear ambitions.
They have not lived up to the spirit of their agreement," he said.
Asked about his decision on whether to certify or decertify the landmark nuclear deal, Trump said: "You'll be hearing about Iran very shortly."
