A trio of Class III rapids and nice scenery make this Portland favorite one of the state's most frequently paddled summertime rivers. When the flows are low on other rivers this one is still pumping.
From the put-in at Packsaddle Park off Highway 22, the river offers boulder-dodging and forested scenery. After passing below the Gates bridge, get ready for the most exciting stretch of river.
Spencer's Hole, Class III+, requires punching through a hole by running center-right into the rapid. Just downstream comes an island and a sweeping, left-to-right drop of Carnivore, Class III. The final rapid is Mill City Falls (Class III), a large drop below Mill City Bridge.
The paddle from Fishmen's Bend to North Santiam park is very nice, with easier Class II/III rapids.
Our full-day trips always include our great all-you-can-eat lunch. We only schedule full-day trips for groups of 4 or more and end our trip at North Santiam park.
The North Santiam River is located about 25-30 miles east of Salem, Oregon. Salem is about 45 miles south of Portland. Our half-day and full-day trips meet at two different locations. Once we reserve your trip, we will send specific directions to the meeting area Some local attractions we recommend in this area include: Silver Falls State Park, The Oregon Garden, the Historic town of Silverton, Seven Brides Brewing, Opal Creek Trail, Breitenbush Hot Springs. .


The Board of Finance will present a formal proposal for the annual budget to be acted upon. There may be additional items on the agenda. Also, this is also the only town meeting where any subject appropriate to be discussed at a Town Meeting can be raised from the floor. It does not have to be specifically warned on the agenda to be considered at this meeting.

S3 E05 More Cattle, Less Bull
Olivia shares an uncomfortable dinner with her dad. The subject of her mother comes up. Rowan finds this surprising since he believes that everything she's become in life is because of him. Olivia argues that it's all "in spite" of him. Rowan lets his daughter know that as long as her friends leave him alone, he'll leave them alone. That's not going to happen. Huck talks Jake through downloading some secret files. He narrowly escapes notice when Rowan comes home after his dinner with Olivia.
Leo Bergen (guest star Paul Adelstein of Private Practice fame) is one of the top strategists in town. Cyrus and Mellie want him to run the president's reelection campaign. Sounds like a great gig. Too bad Leo doesn't want the job. He doesn't do losers. That's how the president looks to him. He doesn't think Fitz's heart is in the job. He's going to lose come election time. Leo thanks Cyrus and Mellie for the offer before heading off to another meeting with Congresswoman Josie Marcus (guest star Lisa Kudrow). He has no idea that his services will no longer be needed. This is because Josie has already found her new campaign manager in Olivia Pope.
Josie tells Olivia about the baby she had back in Montana when she was 15 years old. Her mother helped her keep things a secret until she could put the child up for adoption. Not even her little sister, Candace, knows about this. But there are about six people in her small Montana hometown who do. They may talk as her political star rises. Josie believes her now-grown daughter deserves her privacy. No one can ever know about it. That's the congresswoman's problem. She orders Olivia to go ahead and fix it. A short time later, Harrison, Abby, Huck and Quinn are checking in to a not-so-luxurious suite in Red Springs, Montana.
Huck is freezing Quinn out of his daily hacker/spy activities. It's partly because he's ticked, but also because he doesn't want anyone to know he's in cahoots with Jake as they investigate Command, aka Liv's dad. Huck taps into a surveillance video featuring Fitz and Rowan. The topic of conversation is Operation Remington. Jake believes Command is on to them when some men in dark suits shuffle him into a dark car. Turns out it's the president who wants to see him on the basketball court for a very physical one-on-one game. Fitz thinks their only issues are about Olivia. Jake assures him there's another problem.
Olivia nervously waits for the Fitz Phone to ring. The annual Correspondents' Dinner is coming up. David invites Abby to the shindig. Olivia is also on the guest list for this event for which she typically vets the president's jokes. RING! To the Fitz Phone! Actually, to the regular phone! Cyrus is calling to ask Olivia to dig up dirt on Congresswoman Josie Marcus. He reveals that he has a guy in Montana already. Olivia relays this info to her team, as they work to shut down all loose ends. They swing a deal with Josie's baby daddy moments before a local news team arrives. Cyrus's man in Montana, Ethan, declares that they've been Pope'd!
Fitz wants Rowan to lay off Jake Ballard. The two men exchange threats. Cyrus lets the president know there's no way to get rid of B-613. It's out of their control. Jake lets Huck know that Fitz wasn't flying cover on that secret mission in Iran. The president is hiding something. Huck talks Jake through a computer search at the office. Olivia surprises him, but doesn't suspect anything is up. She has other things on her mind like the Correspondents Dinner. The Fitz Phone isn't ringing though. So, Olivia tosses it in the trash.
Cyrus leaks Josie's baby secret to Governor Reston just before the debates. Harrison and Abby learn that the infant stayed right there in Red Springs. Josie's mom raised the baby, Candace, as the Congresswoman's sister, not her daughter. Olivia wants Josie to address the issue head-on. That's still not an option as far as she's concerned. Olivia knows Reston is going to ambush Josie so she gives her advice on how to handle it. Much to everyone's surprise, the congresswoman takes it. Her explanation as to why she did what she did is perfect. It devastates Candace though which is why Josie fires Olivia.
Olivia sits alone in her office drinking wine. RING! It's the Fitz Phone. She stares at it in the trashcan before eventually digging it out. Olivia and Fitz chat. It's just like old times. Liv gives advice on how to handle things at the big dinner. Fitz tells her that he loves her. The conversation shifts back to the dinner. Mellie overhears her husband talking. He's actually having fun. He's actually happy.
David catches Abby lying to him about missing the Correspondents' Dinner. He heads off to the event stag. Huck is glad Jake is Olivia's date. He thinks she needs this night. Sally Langston, on the other hand, needs Leo Bergen if she's to run for president as a third party candidate. That's why she corner's him in the men's room to propose this hypothetical situation. Out at the dinner, Secret Service indicates to Olivia that her presence is requested elsewhere. Jake tells her to go. Much to Olivia's surprise, it's Mellie who is calling. She wants Liv to work the reelection campaign. She knows in her heart Fitz needs her.
Abby shows up at David's place in a beautiful dress. She wanted to surprise him, but couldn't get out of the car. Her ex-husband, the man who used to abuse her, was on the guest list at the dinner. David wants Abby to start telling him things. Speaking of expressing one's thoughts, Jake lets Olivia know that he's done with her. He doesn't play second fiddle to anyone. Not even the president. Before Olivia can react, she gets a call from Harrison. Josie Marcus wants to rehire her. That offer is rejected. Harrison wonders what Liv is doing. She doesn't answer. She exits the office right past Quinn, who is admiring the gun she bought in Montana.
Huck surprises Jake at his place. He has info as to why Fitz lied about being in Iran during Operation Remington when, in reality, he was in Iceland. There was a plane crash that day involving a jet with 329 passengers onboard. It was deemed an accident, but Huck believes Fitz shot it down on behalf of the U.S. government. He doesn't know why. He believes this is all part of a conspiracy because of one of the names on the passenger list. It's Mia Lewis, a woman who never took her husband's name. Her married name would have been Pope. She was Olivia's mom.

Q: how to find domain of marginal pdf when its two variables domain are dependent I have a pdf $f(x,y)=1/π, 0< x^2+ y^2 <1$; 0, e.w.
Here, we can see $-\sqrt{1-x^2} < y < \sqrt{1-x^2}$
So, the marginal pdf of $X$ is $$\int_{-\sqrt{1-x^2}}^\sqrt{1-x^2} 1/πy \, dy\,.$$
and finally, I have $f(x)= 2/π \sqrt{1-x^2}$.
I do not know how to define the range of $f(x)$, can I present it in $y$ form
like :
$-\sqrt{1-y^2} < x < \sqrt{1-y^2}$?
Looks not solving anything. Can any one tell me how to find the domain of $f(x)$?

A: The marginal distribution is $$\int_{-\sqrt{1-x^2}}^\sqrt{1-x^2} \frac1\pi\, dy=\frac{2\sqrt{1-x^2}}{\pi}.$$
We do not multiply $y$ in the integral.
The support would be from $-1$ to $1$. These are the $x$ values that the unit disk can take.

Q: ckEditor Image does not get saved after upload when image selected I am trying to solve a riddle here. Imagine the following. The user uploads one image, which a minute later he wants to replace. Thus he clicks on the image and selects the upload button again, chooses another image and uploads it. In the editor this image is shown, but when he saves the change, the old image is shown again.
My guess is, that this is due to the fact that only the src-attribute gets updated, but not the data-cke-saved-src-attribute. The question now is: How do I change that?
I should also mention, that since I have a blur-handler, that is asking the user if he wants to discard the change. This fires whenever an dialog opens, which is why I am "refocusing" the editor using the following snippet:
        CKEDITOR.on('dialogDefinition', function (e) {
            var dialog = e.data.definition.dialog;
            dialog.on('hide', function () {
                dis.ckEditor.focusManager.hasFocus = true;
                $('.cke').show();
            });

SportblogTour de France 2015
Team Sky's hacking claim has only increased focus on Chris Froome
Dave Brailsford's surprising revelations on Monday have merely added to the speculation that surrounds the Tour de France leader and 2013 champion

Tue 14 Jul 2015 12.12 EDT
The elegant town of Pau has been the scene of more than its share of cycling mysteries, and another one was added to the list on Monday when Sir Dave Brailsford raised a minor storm by stating that Team Sky's lawyers were on the case of people who he suspected had hacked into Chris Froome's training files. That was accompanied by the removal from YouTube of a video marrying what purported to be Froome's power-meter and pulse data with television footage from the 2013 Tour finish at Mont Ventoux.
The following morning Brailsford said he would prefer to focus his attention on the day's stage from Tarbes to the hill-top finish at Pierre Saint Martin but the genie was out of the bottle. Froome, having won the 10th stage in convincing style, was emphatic the video was a "sideshow" and that any suggestion it might imply he was using performance- enhancing methods or substances was "nuts, especially as the data in question is two years old". It was even being reported that the 2013 champion was willing to undergo independent physiological testing and release the results to prove his innocence.
"What haven't I done? I've tried to be as much a spokesman as I can for clean cycling," Froome said. "I've spoken to the CIRC (Cycling Independent Reform Condition), I've made suggestions to the governing body to implement things like night-time testing. I've pointed out when I've felt there hasn't been enough testing, in places like Tenerife. What else is a clean rider supposed to do?"
As Pau enigmas go, Hackgate was as nothing compared with the vexed question of how a minute quantity of clenbuterol got into Alberto Contador's urine sample in 2010 – a contaminated food supplement, concluded the court of arbitration for sport - or just where Michael Rasmussen had been training and where the Dane went after his midnight flit from the 2007 race.
Tour de France 2015: Chris Froome makes huge statement with stage win
The release and removal of the video did raise a spectre from the past, however, but of a different kind to those in the Contador and Rasmussen stories and further back Lance Armstrong's infamous drug-denying press conferences in Pau in 1999 and 2001 during the Tour. The spectre was the 2013 race when Froome spent much of the final week protesting his probity. The media and fans were split between sceptics, believers and benefit-of-the-doubters. As he pointed out after the finish here, there is little more that he can do.
The man behind the video was a blast from several cycling pasts as well, a genial Frenchman named Antoine Vayer, who tweets under the handle @festinaboy, an ironic reference to his period spent in the mid-1990s as a trainer at the notorious French squad who were thrown off the 1998 Tour amid one of the Tour's most dramatic doping scandals.
Vayer spent his time at the team trying to shield the handful of riders who wanted to race clean and later became a fervent campaigner against doping, in which capacity he produced a column at the Le Monde newspaper discussing his estimated power-output figures for the riders in the Tour. It is impossible to assess the accuracy of Vayer's figures but his articles were taken seriously enough by Team Sky during the 2013 Tour for Brailsford to meet him in an attempt to convince him of Froome's probity. The video was removed from YouTube but copies remained available online and Vayer remained defiant, stating on Twitter: "Soon a new video impossible to hack even by the best hacker lawyer."
The video did not offer any evidence of doping or superhuman performance, always assuming the figures are genuine, which is of course impossible to say. To muddy the waters further, the bulk of the footage at the key moments does not actually show Froome but other riders. The spectacular manner in which Froome turned his legs on the Ventoux in 2013 raised questions at the time but it corresponded to the way in which the team trained, the Sky trainer Tim Kerrison told the Guardian.
Whether the figures are genuine or not, what is on show does not look suspicious. The power figures constantly oscillate but that is familiar to anyone who has used a power meter. There is a visible increase in pulse rate when Froome makes the key effort to drop Alberto Contador - as would be expected - but critically, that increase comes with a distinct time lag, which is normal. The human body is not a car where the rev counter responds instantly.
The mystery is why Sky should feel it necessary to make it public that they feared Froome's data had been hacked, and their lawyers were on the case. The answer probably lies in the memories of 2012 and 2013, when Bradley Wiggins' and Froome's Tours were both infected by innuendo: strike first, in the hope that the mutterings on Twitter can be nipped in the bud. It is a blunt instrument and it remains to be seen whether it works.
Drugs in sport


Incomes for single mother-led households are flat or falling as other families see gains.
Jennifer Phipps thinks a lot about Alice, the title character of the 1970s television show. Like Alice, Phipps has a son she's raising on her own. The boy on TV, frozen in time, is close in age to hers.
The rest of the fictional single mother's world seems foreign to Phipps. Linda Lavin's Alice easily affords an apartment on a waitress's pay. Her son dips in and out of her work, untethered from grownup oversight or child care.
Phipps, a research coordinator at the University of Washington, is considering moving in with other single mothers to save on rent. Leaving her boy to pinball on his own is not an option.
King County's economic boom isn't lifting single mothers like Phipps. Of all earners, women with children and no partner continue to earn the least. And, as other family types see gains, income for single moms has flatlined since 2009. Between 2015 and 2016, single mothers' earnings actually appear to have dipped.
Census Bureau surveys show the problem is worse for King County's Black and Latina single mothers, who are more than twice as likely to live in poverty than White single mothers.
This comes as King County home values have nearly doubled since 2009. Rents are up more than 70 percent. Child care, car tabs, gasoline, food prices: everything is more expensive. While married couples, childless adults and even single fathers have seen windfalls from a hot economy, the paychecks for single mothers are frozen in time, like Alice's son.
As a result, for Phipps and others, asking if single mothers can survive in Seattle or broader King County is not hyperbole. Said Phipps: "It's not sustainable."
She has managed to stay in Seattle by sleeping in the same bed as her daughter in a small University District apartment. Pico has considered leaving the city. But, though Bothell or Renton were once cheaper options, what she could save by moving no longer pencils out after accounting for the commute.
For Phipps, Pico and other single mothers, hearing that their stagnant pay was the norm more than the exception was surprising. They assumed it was just them.
Breaking out incomes by family type is new to Public Health — Seattle & King County. But Director Patty Hayes sees the information as a useful tool in building a healthier community.
"It's our role to help shine the light on stuff so that we can have the conversations on … what I call those 'You're kidding me moments,'" Hayes said.
For Hayes, the revelation of single mothers' income was one of those moments.
The statistics were pulled from the U.S. Census Bureau and organized through a public-private partnership with local governments, the United Way and the Seattle Foundation. The resulting information, presented on a slick website, is called Communities Count.
Families led by single mothers have always been the poorest. But the gap between them and other family structures is growing in King County. The microscopic climb in income for single mothers — from around $34,000 in 2009 to $37,000 in 2016 — falls within the margin of error. During the same time period, the gap between single mothers and couples with children grew from about $70,000 to $100,000.
And between 2015 and 2016, pay to single mothers actually went down by about $3,000, erasing any gains made the year before. The margin of error is wide — plus or minus $7,000 – so the apparent decline could be illusionary. But the trend for all others — including single dads — does not dip.
Where the median income of married couples in King County outpaces the national number, for single mothers, it is right in line.
Black and Latina women fare the worst. Public Health's Communities Count database does not break out single mothers' earnings by race. But data from the Census Bureau's American Community Survey show a slow decline in King County of White single mothers in poverty, from 24 percent in 2012 to 20 percent in 2016. Latina mothers also saw a decline, although their overall numbers remain much higher: In 2012, 50 percent earned poverty wages; by 2016, that was down to 44 percent.
Black mothers, meanwhile, saw an increase in that same time period, from 40 to 47 percent living in poverty.
Like Phipps and Pico, Briana Bell thought her stagnant pay was unique to her. An HR professional by trade, she moved with her two children from Dallas to Seattle in 2014. Her pay spiked at the time of the move, but it didn't last. Shortly after her transfer, Bell requested more flexibility from her work to parent her children. Her employer wouldn't give it.
So she left to find a job that could give her the latitude she needed to care for her teenager and younger daughter.
She took a position at a recruiting firm with a base pay that was $7,000 less but promised a commission. But the recruitments didn't come, and after a year she was let go.
Bell now works part time as an executive assistant in Shoreline and collects unemployment. She lost her health insurance. Her rent rises every year, up $250 a month from when they moved into their Shoreline apartment three years ago.
When asked why single mothers' pay hasn't budged, Hayes said she didn't know. Public Health has conducted qualitative surveys of mothers, but broad conclusions are elusive. Still, there are some guesses.
Chan offered a broader analysis.
"I can imagine that if somebody is in a married couple's household, there are probably more risks you can take in terms of, 'Let's see what I can do if I jumped jobs,'" she said. "Because you've got two incomes, you can take more risks and take advantage of this economic boom.
The common thread between Phipps, Pico and Bell is the importance of flexibility in work and the enormous challenges that come when that's lacking. Every inflexible hour represents a choice: Forfeit that time, along with the pay and possibilities for advancement, or pay for child care. A fluid schedule is so valuable that Bell took a pay cut to find it.
"My boss at my job has probably been the only reason why I'm not homeless at this point," said Pico, who does not work Fridays.
Even when a single mother can find a job with a fluid schedule, that need for flexibility gets in the way of moving up.
Hayes points to government efforts to stabilize families headed into homelessness, support programs for mothers and children's health centers in schools. Seattle is also growing a subsidized pre-school program. But where those efforts support struggling women, they won't reverse wage trends.
For all the anxiety that comes with not having enough money, more corrosive is the guilt.
In her first year-and-a-half, Eva bounced between three care centers. At one, Pico heard Eva was parked in front of a television all day.
"There's so much around what you're supposed to do to be a good parent and it's conflicting — support your children, but also do all these things that you don't have time to do if you're working full-time," Pico said.

UK and US: Stop aiding the Saudi-led Coalition in carrying out a genocide in Yemen!
The US-Saudi airstrikes must stop NOW! The transport borders must open IMMEDIATELY! Stop the media lies about a civil war that never existed!
There are no such things as Iran-backed Shia rebels in Yemen! The Houthis are Zaydis and are a branch of Sunni-Islam! EVERY SINGLE YEMENI HOUSEHOLD own at least one weapon/rifle. EVERY Yemeni is armed. So saying the Houthis are a group of militias is ironic. The ones called Houthis don't even have the name Houthi. They belong to other families. The ultimate ignorance of people online, specially from the West, have no clue what they are reading about.. They are being fed lies and stupidity from US-controlled media. 90% of the victims in this aggression were plain civilians sitting or sleeping in their homes when the airstrikes hit them.
The reason many ignored this is because they general news readers presume it's a civil law, which it never was! Thousands of troops from over 15 countries, including Black Water and, landed in Southern Yemen with their tanks and planes to fight...the 20k Houthi rebels? This doesn't make any sense. If that was the case, how come EVERY FRIDAY over a million people march in Sana'a, the capital, to condemn the US-Saudi aggression?
This US-UK-Saudi coalition thinks bombing the Yemeni people will make them kneel down before oppressors, but this is easier said than done. No war in history have succeeded in doing that. We are in the 3rd year of this barbaric aggression, but no goals were achieved by the international coalition.
November 5th numbers: 908,400 suspected cholera cases and 2,192 associated deaths (World Health Organisation). Roughly, the number is estimated to 1 million cases of cholera at the end of this year. In November, a serious Diphtheria outbreak were reported in Yemen and is multiplying every week, adding to the seriousness of the siege on Yemen.
There is also currently a severe clean water deficiency in Yemen, thus making Cholera more at home in those unclean waters, therefore resulting in more cases of illness for every new day that passes.
Sana'a-based Taha Yaseen, from the Mwatana Organisation for Human Rights, said obstacles that stand in the way of controlling and containing cholera today in Yemen, include, but are not limited to, the ongoing war.
"During [the war] almost all health facilities and healthcare services reached a point of thorough collapse and thus are unable to respond to the increasing need to address fatal diseases and civilian victims. Many hospitals [have] shut down and many others were hit either by air or ground strikes, occupied by militias or used as military barracks," he said.
When children stand to either die of starvation or a cholera outbreak, political discourse somewhat lose their appeal. Why argue a future that is being robbed away from Yemen's children's chest?
As world nations watch on idle, stuck in those hateful binary narratives their thirst for geopolitical control commanded they abide by, it is a people, and a civilisation stretching back centuries we are forfeiting … Yemen is dying under layers of million abominations and all we have offered are miserable whispers of condemnation.

Which produces:

as support to columns' headers formatting is used packagemakecell. for more "professional" and oppen look is usedbooktabsfor rules in table where i suggest to replace all rules in table body with additional space provided by\addlinespace`.
further attention is given to formatting long text in cells. since their are narrow their formatting can be improved by use command RaggedRight from package ragged2e in definition of new column type L (see mwe below).

\section{Introduction}
Heavy-flavour particles play a peculiar role in probing the hot-deconfined matter produced in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Soft observables (light hadrons of low transverse-momentum) provide information on the collective behaviour of the medium formed after the collision; they are nicely described by hydrodynamic calculations, assuming as a working hypothesis to deal with a system close to local thermal equilibrium. The suppression of the production of jets and high-$p_T$ particles tells us that a quite opaque medium is formed in the collisions: its description requires to model the energy-loss of high-energy partons in the hot plasma.
Heavy-flavour particles, arising from the hadronization of heavy quarks produced in initial hard events and having crossed the fireball during its whole evolution, require to employ a more general tool, allowing one to model their asymptotic approach to local thermal equilibrium with the medium: such a tool is represented by transport calculations, which we are going to briefly describe.
Actually, since the fireball undergoes a rapid expansion and has a finite lifetime, one does not expect charm and beauty quarks to reach full kinetic equilibrium with the medium: this fact, however, has the potential to provide an estimate of the value of the transport coefficients of the medium, for which otherwise one would get just a lower/upper bound.

\section{Transport calculations}
\begin{figure}[!ht]
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[clip,width=0.49\textwidth]{DmesonAverage_010_v2_Models_}
\includegraphics[clip,width=0.49\textwidth]{Dmesonv2ComparisonWithModels}
\caption{Recent results by the ALICE collaboration for the average $D$-meson $R_{\rm AA}$ and $v_2$~\cite{Acharya:2018hre} compared to the predictions of various transport calculations.}\label{fig:data-vs-models}
\end{center}
\end{figure}

The starting point of any transport calculation is the relativistic Boltzmann equation. Actually, in most numerical implementation, the latter is approximated as a more tractable Langevin equation, assuming that the heavy-quark interaction with the medium is dominated by multiple uncorrelated soft scatterings. One has then
\begin{equation}
{\Delta \vec{p}}/{\Delta t}=-{\eta_D(p)\vec{p}}+{\vec\xi(t)}.\label{eq:Langevin}
\end{equation}
Eq.~(\ref{eq:Langevin}) provides a recipe to update the heavy quark momentum in the time-step $\Delta t$ through the sum of a deterministic friction force and a random noise term specified by its temporal correlator
\begin{equation}
\langle\xi^i(\vec p_t)\xi^j(\vec p_{t'})\rangle\!=\!{b^{ij}(\vec p_t)}{\delta_{tt'}}/{\Delta t}\quad{\rm with}\quad{b^{ij}(\vec p)}\!\equiv\!{{\kappa}_\|(p)}{\hat{p}}^i{\hat{p}}^j+{{\kappa}_\perp(p)}(\delta^{ij}\!-\!{\hat{p}}^i{\hat{p}}^j).
\end{equation}
Following the heavy-quark dynamics in the medium requires then the knowledge of three transport coefficients representing the transverse/longitudinal ($\kappa_{\perp/\|}$) momentum broadening and the drag ($\eta_D$) received from the medium. Actually, the above coefficients are not independent, but are related by the Einstein fluctuation-dissipation relation, which ensures the asymptotic approach of the heavy quarks to thermal equilibrium.

Various transport calculations applied to heavy-flavour production in nuclear collisions can be found in the literature, essentially differing in the choice of transport coefficients to insert into Eq.~(\ref{eq:Langevin}). The challenge for the above models is to consistently reproduce various experimental observables, like the momentum and angular distributions of the produced heavy-flavour hadrons. The latter display sizable modifications with respect to proton-proton collisions. In particular, important medium effects are captured by two quantities, the nuclear modification factor $R_{\rm AA}$ and the elliptic-flow coefficient $v_2$, defined as
\begin{equation}
R_{\rm AA}\equiv\frac{\left(dN/dp_T\right)_{\rm AA}}{\langle N_{\rm coll}\rangle\left(dN/dp_T\right)_{\rm AA}}\quad{\rm and}\quad v_2\equiv\langle\cos[2(\phi-\Psi_{\rm RP})]\rangle.
\end{equation}
The $R_{\rm AA}$ is the ratio of the momentum distribution measured in A-A and p-p collisions normalized to the average number of independent binary nucleon-nucleon collisions in a A-A event. Deviations from unity signal the presence of medium effects: at high $p_T$ one gets $R_{\rm AA}<1$, due to the energy-loss of charm and beauty quarks; instead, its rise at low-moderate $p_T$ may come from the collective radial flow of the fireball, boosting particles from very low to higher transverse momenta.
The $v_2$ coefficient quantifies the azimuthal anisotropy of the angular distribution of final particles and is interpreted as arising from the elliptic asymmetry of the initial condition in non-central collisions, with the larger pressure gradients along the reaction plane $\psi_{\rm RP}$ giving rise to a larger acceleration of the fluid along this direction.
The challenge for the models is to consistently reproduce these and other observables.
A snapshot of the results of different transport calculations~\cite{Beraudo:2014boa,He:2014cla,Cao:2017hhk,Nahrgang:2013xaa} compared to ALICE data~\cite{Acharya:2018hre} is given in Fig.~\ref{fig:data-vs-models}. Notice that, in all cases, in order to reproduce the experimental data, it is important to include the possibility for heavy quarks to hadronize via recombination with the light thermal partons from the medium.

\section{Recent developments}

\caption{Initial condition for a central Pb-Pb collision at the LHC displaying a triangular eccentricity (left panel) and the resulting $v_3$ coefficient (right panel) of the azimuthal distribution of $D$-mesons for different choices of the transport coefficients~\cite{Beraudo:2017gxw}.}\label{fig:e3-vs-v3}
\end{center}
\end{figure}
The finite impact parameter of a nucleus-nucleus collision leads, on average, to an elliptic deformation of the produced fireball. Pressure gradients map this initial geometric asymmetry into a final momentum anisotropy of the particles decoupling from the medium, giving rise to the elliptic flow $v_2$ shown for instance in the right panel of Fig.~\ref{fig:data-vs-models}. However, event-by-event fluctuations (e.g. in the nucleon positions) can give rise to more complicated initial geometries, quantified by higher order eccentricity coefficients
\begin{equation}
\epsilon_{m}=\frac{\sqrt{\{r_\perp^2\cos(m\phi)\}^2+\{r_\perp^2\sin(m\phi)\}^2}}{\{r_\perp^2\}}
\end{equation}
which lead to higher harmonics in the final hadron distributions $v_m\equiv\langle\cos[m(\phi-\Psi_m)]\rangle$.
In Fig.~\ref{fig:e3-vs-v3} we show the result of a one-shot hydro+transport simulation starting from an average initial condition with a triangular deformation referring to the 0-10\% most central Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}\!=\!5.02$ TeV. The final $D$-meson angular distribution is then characterized by a non-vanishing triangular flow $v_3$, as shown in the right panel of the figure where we compare the results of our transport simulations~\cite{Beraudo:2017gxw} to CMS data~\cite{Sirunyan:2017plt}.

\end{center}
\end{figure}
Furthermore, due to event-by-event fluctuations, events belonging the same centrality class -- usually identified by some estimator like the number of binary nucleon-nucleon collisions (in numerical simulations) or the multiplicity of produced particles (in actual experiments) -- can be characterized by quite different initial eccentricities, as shown in the left panel of Fig.~\ref{fig:ese-1}. It is then of interest to study, for a given centrality, the elliptic (or triangular) flow of subsample of events of high/low eccentricity, comparing the result to the unbiased case. This technique, known as \emph{event-shape-engineering}, was first introduced for light hadrons~\cite{Adam:2015eta} and later applied also to study of the flow of $D$-mesons~\cite{Acharya:2018bxo}. Results obtained by the ALICE collaboration, compared to various transport calculations, are displayed in the right panel of Fig.~\ref{fig:ese-1}. In Fig.~\ref{fig:ese-2} we show the results of the transport model of Ref.~\cite{Beraudo:2018tpr} for the $D$-meson elliptic flow in Pb-Pb collisions, in the 30-50\% centrality class, for the 0-20\% highest and 0-60\% lowest-eccentricity subsamples. Notice how the ratio to the unbiased result does not depend on the choice of the transport coefficients, reflecting only the initial geometry. This holds quite generally also for beauty hadrons and for different centrality classes.

\end{center}
\end{figure}
Recently, a strong interest is growing also for the study of the directed flow $v_1\!\equiv\!\langle\cos(\phi\!-\!\Psi_{\rm RP})\rangle$. Since participant nucleons of the colliding nuclei tend to deposit more energy along their direction of motion, in non-central collisions the fireball is characterized by an initial tilted geometry (see left panel of Fig.~\ref{fig:v1-exp}) and by a sizable orbital angular momentum (of order 1000$\hbar$) and vorticity~\cite{Becattini:2015ska}. Experimentally, this can give rise to a negative/positive directed flow $v_1$ of charged hadrons at forward/backward rapidity and possibly to other effects like the polarization of $\Lambda$ hyperons~\cite{STAR:2017ckg}. Interestingly, one expects a stronger $v_1$ signal (quite small for light hadrons) in the case of charmed particles. On top of the directed flow of the background medium an important contribution to the final signal arises in fact from the mismatch between the tilted geometry of the medium and the initial position of the $c\overline c$ pairs, symmetrically distributed around the beam axis. Predictions for the $D$-meson $v_1$ of the transport calculation of Ref.~\cite{Chatterjee:2017ahy} are shown in the right panel of Fig.~\ref{fig:v1-th}. The comparison with experimental data should allow one to probe the three-dimensional distribution of matter in heavy-ion collisions. Recently, some authors~\cite{Das:2016cwd,Chatterjee:2018lsx} have also proposed that the difference between the $v_1$ of $D^0$ and $\overline{D^0}$ mesons can be a unique probe of the huge electromagnetic fields present in the fireball during the deconfined phase; however, current experimental data~\cite{Adam:2019wnk} do not allow yet to draw firm conclusions.

\section{Conclusions and perspectives}
The study of heavy-flavour observables in nucleus-nucleus collisions has the potential to provide information on charm and beauty transport coefficients in the quark-gluon plasma, describing their spatial diffusion and their approach to kinetic equilibrium. For the moment several theoretical calculations allow one to get a quite satisfactory description of the data, leading then to a substantial theoretical uncertainty on the value of the above coefficients. In-medium hadronization plays a role at least as important as the one of the transport in the partonic phase; furthermore, so far, one has experimental access to a kinematic window where the heavy-quark dynamics can not be captured simply by one non-relativistic transport coefficient. We expect the situation to improve as soon as measurements of beauty at low transverse-momentum will get available.

Besides the transport coefficients, the study of heavy flavour observables provides information on other non-trivial feature nuclear collisions, like the event-by-event fluctuations and the initial three-dimensional distribution of deposited energy and, possibly, on the effect of the initial huge magnetic field arising from the spectator nucleons. In this connection, we tried to give an overview of the most recent theoretical studies and experimental analysis.

EXPANDING BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES BETWEEN ISRAEL AND THE WORLD


Lots of people find the idea of booking a last-minute flight and jetting off to faraway places very appealing at this time of year. Indeed, the thought of leaving Britain's plummeting temperatures behind and spending some time in a place which is anything but cold and grey is well worth considering, especially when television weather forecasters seem to insist on ending every bulletin with a warning of some kind.
Of course, there are a number of things which travellers need to consider before packing their bags and flying off to an exotic corner of the globe. For instance, knowing whether or not English is predominantly spoken, having an idea of what seasonal weather variations are likely to be encountered and making sure travel insurance policies are up-to-date are all things which a conscientious traveller would do well to check before booking their airport taxis.
However, there is one other consideration which makes the aforementioned examples seem rather insignificant in comparison – travel vaccinations.
Whilst travel vaccinations ('jabs') are not something to worry about when going on short haul jaunts to popular destinations in the Mediterranean, they are a vital consideration when travelling farther afield. This is because travellers who are not used to the conditions in an unfamiliar locale are often at greater risk of contracting maladies that are particular to that part of the world. The consequences of this can range from catching a holiday-ruining stomach bug to contracting a life-changing disease.
Being immunised with suitable travel vaccinations can help to reduce such risks significantly.
Whilst flying off to an exotic locale within a day or two of deciding to get away is a very liberating and exciting thing to do, it does throw up a few concerns with regard to getting certain immunisations. Indeed, it is often the case that GPs and local NHS clinics providing immunisation services expect patients to make appointments days or weeks in advance. Needless to say, this pretty much quashes the prospect of jetting away on a whim before the idea has even had to time to take hold.
Fortunately, this is not something which people living in and around the East Midlands need to worry about as they are fortunate enough to have private clinics in their area which provide same day travel clinic services.
To be sure, residents in this part of the world with an overwhelming urge to travel can take advantage of a private clinic in Nottingham, or call upon private doctors in Leicester and a private GP in Derby to provide them with the jabs they need, then and there. This is because these three healthcare providers are all part of the TravelDoc programme, a doctor-led initiative which offers easy access, same day walk-in services across the East Midlands.
So, anyone in the local area who is looking to enjoy a trouble-free trip overseas – spontaneous or otherwise – can rest assured they have plenty of travel vaccination options available.
About the author – Bo Heamyan blogs regularly about foreign travel and has written extensively about the importance of obtaining suitable inoculations for a number of industry leading websites, including RegentStreetClinic.co.uk.


Telestream has recently released the latest version of Wirecast live streaming software. Telestream Wirecast is a capable, versatile, and affordable encoder. Here at DaCast we are familiar with this software and often end up recommending it as a widely used encoder. Wirecast allows our DaCast broadcasters to stream successfully, so this piece aims to provide extra information to help you use the app successfully.
This article aims to provide a how-to guide for using Wirecast. These instructions should help you make your streaming experience as smooth as possible. Our guide will focus on streaming with Akamai, the largest CDN in the world. Specifically, we'll focus on streaming with DaCast, which partners with Akamai CDN.
We'll begin with a brief overview of what Wirecast is, then provide two methods for proper configuration and setup.
Wirecast is a cross-platform software encoder that's available for Mac and PC. The software comes in two versions. Wirecast Studio, for $695, is the basic product. Wirecast Pro, for $995, adds support for HDV inputs, instant replay, support for more capture devices, live scoreboards, and ISO recording of individual sources, among other features.
Version 8 provides a number of new features. The headline feature is Rendezvous, which provides in-app videoconferencing. Rendezvous is compatible with most devices and enables anyone to join simply by clicking a link provided by the broadcaster.
Wirecast 8 also includes advanced 8-track audio mixing, Facebook Live comments, performance improvements, more accurate colors, and support for NDI IP-based workflows.
Various upgrades for Wirecast are available to provide advanced titling and virtual sets to expand your live streaming repertoire.
There are two methods to set up Wirecast with your DaCast account. The first method is manual configuration, and the second method is based on the DaCast integration within Wirecast.
Manual configuration has the advantage of working with all sorts of different custom RTMP encoders. The same process can be applied to a variety of different software and hardware packages, and it only takes a couple of minutes.
The DaCast integration sign-in setup method is faster, but doesn't work with all platforms. We recommend using this method unless there are changes. Let's explain how to use both methods.
Here's how to manually set up Wirecast with DaCast Online Video Platform. There are two parts for this setup. The first part takes place in your DaCast account. In the second part of setup, you'll take the details provided in the first part and plug them into Wirecast.
Log in to your DaCast account.
Click on the channel you wish to use for the live stream (or create a new live channel). This will bring up the settings for this live stream channel.
Click "Encoder Setup" in the menu across the top of the screen.
In the encoder setup screen, you'll see three panels. Go to the second panel, labeled "Select your encoder," and click on Telestream Wirecast to select this option.
The third panel, labeled "Start streaming," will now show the details required for setting up Wirecast. These details include a Login, Password, Stream URL, Stream Names, and Backup URL.
In the Wirecast menu, click "Output" then "Output Settings." Alternatively, you can use the shortcuts Command-Y (Mac) or Control-Y (PC).
Now, the output settings window will appear. In this window, copy over the settings from your DaCast account. The Stream URL goes into the Address field. The Stream name goes into the Address field. The Login and Password are entered by clicking the "Set Credentials…" button.
At this point, your Wirecast application is now linked to DaCast. There are a few other settings you should customize in order to stream, but we'll cover those in the next segment, "Other settings to configure," after we go over the other way to set up Wirecast with your DaCast account.
For more information about how to set up a stream with Wirecast 8 you can check out this video tutorial or see the writing tutorial below.
There is another way to set up Wirecast encoding software with your DaCast account. This is the semi-automatic, login based version. It's fast and easy compared to the above method.
This setup begins somewhat differently. First, you'll need to log in to your DaCast account and create a new live channel. If you already have the channel set up that you'll be streaming live with, you can skip that. In the "Encoder Setup" portion, note the name of your live channel, as well as the 6-digit login and password.
Open Wirecast, click "Output" then "Output Settings." Alternatively, you can use the shortcuts Command-Y (Mac) or Control-Y (PC).
In the window that appears, use the dropdown menu to select "DaCast Streaming Services." Click ok.
A window will open asking for your password. Enter your DaCast login password and click ok.
Wirecast will now connect to your DaCast account. The dropdown menu under the "Username" field should now include a list of all the live channels you've created with your DaCast account. Select the live channel you wish to stream to.
You may be required to enter your 6-digit login and password now. The login and password are entered by clicking the "Set Credentials…" button. You're now done linking Wirecast 8 broadcast software to DaCast!
Of course, linking Telestream Wirecast to DaCast is only one part of streaming. There are important encoder settings for your live stream that you want to follow closely within Wirecast to make sure your stream is running smoothly.
However, it's not too difficult to understand with a little diligent study.
When you've configured these settings correctly, click "Save As" then enter a name for these settings. All you need to do now is add video / audio sources, and you're ready to stream!
The next step in streaming with Telestream Wirecast is adding video and audio sources.
Sources are added to Wirecast via individual "layers." Layers in Wirecast work just like they do in Adobe Photoshop or any video editing program. The layers at the top of the list will overlap any content underneath them, like a collage.
This allows you to create more complex outputs. A super basic example would be this: put your logo on the top layer, then use the second layer for your live video feed. Voila! You now have a branded stream.
An image, live video feed from a camera or video card, audio feed from a microphone, or pre-recorded shot can be added to Wirecast as a source. To add a source, simply click the "+" icon to the right of the "Clear Layer" in the bottom of the application screen. Use the menu that appears to select your source, and it will automatically appear in the layers.
To learn more about layers in Wirecast, click here.
Wirecast 8 looks like a great update to the beloved live streaming app. Just a week after release, some DaCast customers are already using this version, and we're sure more will be in the near future. Hopefully this article has helped you learn how to properly set up your Wirecast app with DaCast.
Do you have further questions, or comments about broadcasting live video with DaCast using Wirecast? We'd love to hear from you in the comment section below. For regular live streaming tips and exclusive offers, you can join the DaCast LinkedIn group.
New to DaCast and interested to try out the white-label streaming platform for yourself? Why not sign up for a 30-day free trial (no credit card required)? That way, you can test out all the features before making a commitment. We'd love to get you set up today!

The California Part Time Faculty Association (CPFA) announces that it will be co-sponsoring the new "Part-time Faculty Teaching Load" bill, AB 897 along with the California Federation of Teachers (CFT). Introduced to state legislators by Assembly Member Jose Medina (D-Riverside) on February 20, 2019, AB 897 would raise the existing cap on the workload of California part-time instructors from 67% to 80-85% of a full-time load. Ultimately, this means that If AB 897 passes, all districts would have the flexibility to negotiate with local bargaining units for a new limit on part-time faculty teaching loads of up to 80-85% of the full-time load. In order to pass, the bill must pass through a series of hearings and be debated and scrutinized by various committees in both the State Assembly and the Senate. It must then win the signature of the governor.
CPFA believes, however, that the issue of the part-time teaching load cap should not stop with the passage of this bill. CPFA and our members know that true workload equity will not be achieved until all arbitrary and discriminatory caps on part-time workloads have been removed.
For more information about this cap and its background, go view the last fall's 2018 CPFA Journal.
I actually wrote a resolution OPPOSING this as a part-time faculty. Why? Because it allows colleges a less reliance on full-time faculty. I want a full-time job. I need a full-time job. I'm not willing to settle for an 80-85% job WITH NO BENEFITS just because it's cheaper for the colleges. Working a 32 hours out of 40 hours/week job is 80%, and those working 32 hours receive health benefits. The 80% part-timers will not. This is further exploiting the part-time class. In addition, this is not increasing the amount of available classes, which means many part-timers will be left with less than 67% if someone in their department gets 80%. The whole excuse of "it will allow part-timers to devote more time to less campuses, therefore contribute to increasing the quality of education" is BS to me because many part-timers admitted they will continue to work multiple campuses at 80% at each of those campuses just because they can. Only a selected few part-timers will devote more of their time to one campus outside of teaching and office hours because they don't have to. I do BECAUSE I WANT A FULL-TIME JOB! Did any part-timer factor in that in increasing the load to 80% will also allow full-time faculty to teach 80% overload? This is like giving a tax cut to the rich. It benefits those that are more privileged and really screws over those who are in the most need of full-time jobs. This also devalues the profession of being a tenured college instructor. What does it say about our educational system if students can get degrees from institutions relying on a bunch of contingent faculty? Don't get me wrong, many of us are great. I know I am, but that's why we should have more available full-time jobs, NOT this pathetic 80% increase. It's some rich person's way of pretending they're all about helping out the part-time class, but instead profiting from the money they save for not hiring more full-time instructors. You know where the money goes? Administration. I can't believe a bunch of so-called educated people don't see through this crap.
We at the CPFA also feel frustration and anger over the lack of a realistic pathway for part-timers to move into full-time jobs. We abhor the reality that this unjust exploitative two-tier system has been allowed to continue for so long which has made it so difficult for so many part-timers to make a living and advance to stable full-time employment.
The 75/25 law (which requires community colleges to have 75% of their classes taught by full-timers) has been routinely ignored by many colleges, and even when adhered to has not resulted in enough full-time positions for people already working there to move into.
Major sticking points seem to be the huge labor pool out there and the cost of benefits.
Presently, whenever a full-time position is opened up, most colleges receive between 100 to 200 applications, sometimes more. The reality is that with such a large labor pool out there, the colleges have little incentive to increase the number of full-time jobs when part-time labor is so much cheaper.
Some colleges (but of course not all) have already started offering some kind of healthcare benefits for part-timers. Thus, a cap of 80% -85% would not necessarily prevent a college from offering health care benefits. However, for a majority of part-timers the current situation is still inadequate.
Right now, the 67% rule has absolutely no influence on what a full-timer can teach as overload or hiring full-time faculty. Raising the cap to 80% – 85% will not change that.
At CPFA, we would like to see an end to the two-tier system entirely and go to something like the Vancouver model in British Columbia. At Vancouver Community College, after working there two years and receiving positive evaluations, faculty members become "regularized" which means they receive something like tenure. Depending on seniority, they have the choice of working full-time if there are classes available. Since this is in Canada, they already receive health care.
We realize such a model is unlikely to be adopted anytime soon. But we also realize that big changes often come about incrementally. In the meantime, we advocate for policies that will help bring part-timers closer to making a decent living while keeping an eye on the final goal, which is bringing about an end to this ridiculous two-tier system.
Raising the cap to 80%-85% would help ease working conditions for part-timers, especially those who would prefer to not to drive all over to teach at two, three, or more districts in order to make a living.
We realize that raising the cap to 80%-85% is not the ultimate solution, but it would be a step forward.

Today's Southeast Asia, including predominantly Islamic Indonesia, has, in museums, scholarship and popular imagination worldwide, become part of a Hindu Buddhist civilization that has its origin in India. This project in preparation investigates, for the period 1880-1980, how knowledge exchange between pilgrims, scholars and hippies has contributed to the shaping of the moral geography of Greater India and the re-sacralization of Hindu-Buddhist antiquities from Indonesia. What was this moral geography about, who became part of it, and who became excluded? And what was the impact of Greater India in (post-)colonial Indonesia?

Coffeepot Drive
Edge of Town
self-release
Classy Rocking and Rolling Soulful Blues Revue
The quaintly named Coffeepot Drive members have all been in and around the London music scene for more years than they care to admit too; but those experiences and hard knocks have all come together to create this glorious sound.
Edge of Town opens with a short Gospel song belted out to assorted handclaps before seamlessly sliding into the uproarious Fallback; which has all the hallmarks of something out of the Stax Vaults, and I defy you not to shake your hips when you listen to it for the first time.
While most songs are quality funky Blues/Soul tunes; Coffeepot Drive sue aren't one trick ponies; as the sensational Bayou proves. Sung from the very bottom of her heart Lady Oracle pleads over an acoustic guitar and piano on a song that Aretha would be proud to sing.
For a working band from the mean streets of London Coffeepot Drive have a 'big old sound' and remind me of those bands like Delaney and Bonnie and Joe Cocker had behind them in the olden golden days. Predominantly a dirty Southern Soul sound; CPD flirt with the Blues and even a few soft Jazz runs here and there; and nothing sounds out of place; which is testament to the quality of the musicians involved and producer Andy Brook's golden touch.
With songs like Hey Suzy, Glass in My Mellow and Don't Know Love in their armoury it's no surprise to find the band have been regulars at Ronnie Scott's legendary club in Soho London. But the track that closes Edge of Town is the one that could and should get them national airplay and (fingers crossed) TV coverage.
Killer really showcases Lady Oracle's dynamic voice; as again she is only accompanied by a guitar, piano and a set of Angels masquerading as backing singers. I can think of half a dozen Pop Stars who have graced auditoriums around the country who can't get close to the vocal range this young lady manages with ease on this one song. I'm not normally a fan of such things but the song (and therefore the album) ends with spontaneous applause from people in the studio; and it is genuinely deserved in this instance.

The Ukrainians sind eine britische Band, die ukrainischen Folk mit Rockmusik vermischen.

Geschichte
The Ukrainians gingen 1989 aus einer Idee der Band The Wedding Present hervor. Diese spielte für eine Peel Session in der BBC einen ukrainischen Folksong ein. Der Song wurde ein Erfolg, daher wurden weitere Songs aufgenommen und 1990 als EP mit dem Titel Oi Divchino (Mein süßes Mädchen) veröffentlicht. Eine weitere derartige Session folgte sowie ein Album unter dem Titel Ukraynski Vystupy v Johna Peela (deutsch etwa: Ukrainische Aufführungen mit John Peel), das etwa 70.000 Mal verkauft wurde. Das Album erreichte Platz 22 der UK Album Charts.

Die Lieder der Peels Sessions bei der BBC wurden von The Wedding Present auf einem Album unter dem Titel The Complete Ukrainian Peel Sessions veröffentlicht.

Peter Solowka, der Gitarrist von The Wedding Present, gründete daraufhin mit Sänger und Violinist Len Liggins und Mandolinespieler Roman Remeynes im Jahr 1991 die Band The Ukrainians. Das Musikvideos zu ihrer ersten Single Oi Divchino entstand dann vollständig im Kiewer Museum für Volksarchitektur und Brauchtum der Ukraine. Die Single wurde vom Magazin New Musical Express zur "Single Of The Week" gekürt.

Es folgte das erste Album namens The Ukrainians. Dieses wurde hauptsächlich in Europa ein Erfolg, der zu einer großen Tournee führte. Die Sportartikelfirma Nike ließ die Ukrainians einen Werbespot mit Sergej Bubka musikalisch unterlegen.

Anfang 1993 veröffentlichten die Ukrainians die EP Pisni Iz The Smiths mit vier Titeln der The Smiths auf Ukrainisch. Im selben Jahr folgte das zweite Album der Band, Vorony. Dieses wurde in Großbritannien zum "Album Of The Month" gekürt. Es folgte eine ausgedehnte Tournee mit 110 Auftritten in Europa von Spanien bis in die Ukraine. Von dieser Tournee wurden auf einer auf 1.000 Stück limitierten Vinyl-Platte Mitschnitte veröffentlicht.

Im Oktober 1994 erschien das Album Kultura. Die Ukrainians reduzierten ihre Tourneen aus gesundheitlichen Gründen stark. In Erinnerung an die Reaktorkatastrophe von Tschernobyl veröffentlichte die Band 1996 eine Single (Radioactivity), deren Erlös Opfern des Unfalls zugutekam. 1998 wurde eine EP mit Namen Prince veröffentlicht, auf der Coverversionen des Musikers Prince zu hören sind.

Es folgte eine längere Pause, in der die Musiker getrennte Wege gingen. Erst 2002 meldete sich die Band mit einer EP zurück, die aus Anlass des 50. Jubiläums der britischen Königin und des 25. Geburtstages der Sex Pistols erschien und Anarchy in the UK hieß. Nach dem Album Respublika aus dem Jahr 2003 und einem Live-Album 2004 touren die Ukrainians wieder durch Europa.

Der Song Rospryahaite (deutsch etwa: Lasst die Pferde los, Jungs) der Band wurde am 21. November 2008 auf Wunsch der Astronautin Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper auf der Mission STS-126 als Wake-Up-Call auf der Internationalen Raumstation gespielt.

Das im Jahr 2009 veröffentlichte Album Diaspora behandelt Themen wie Migration und Neubeginn. Im Jahr 2014 kam mit Never Mind The Cossacks, Here's The Ukrainians am Record Store Day ein Album mit Coverversionen der Sex Pistols (in Anlehnung an deren Album Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols) auf den Markt, ebenfalls am Record Store Day im Jahr 2015 veröffentlichten The Ukrainians A Short History of Rock Music In Ukrainian mit Coverversionen von Titeln der Bands Motörhead, Velvet Underground, The Beatles und Nirvana. 2016 folgte ein Doppelalbum zum 25. Bandjubiläum, es trägt den Titel Evolutsiya – 40 best and rarest tracks.

Mit Summer in Lviv (deutsch: Sommer in Lwiw) folgte im Sommer 2018 ein weiteres Album der Band, aufgenommen in den Eiger Studios in Leeds. Zum 30. Jubiläum der Band erscheint das Album 30th Anniversary im Jahr 2020.

Bandmitglieder
Bandmitglieder sind bzw. waren Len Liggins, Roman Remeynes, Peter Solowka, Stepan Pasicznyk, Steve Tymruk, Paul Weatherhead und James Howe Woody.

Len Liggins brachte in den frühen 1980er Jahren selbstgemachte Tracks auf Kassetten-Compilations heraus und spielte Solo-Gigs in und um West- und South Yorkshire. Nach Veröffentlichungen auf LP-Compilations (No Platform for Heels, Giraffe in Flames, Saw Yourself in Half) brachte er eine 4-Track-7"-EP mit dem Titel A Remedy for Bad Nerves auf seinem eigenen Label Aaz Records heraus. Zwei weitere Solo-EP folgten: A Headful of Ants und Yuri's Hair Salon. Zusammen mit Tony Bonner gründete er 1982 das 8-Spur-Aufnahmestudio "Lion Studios" in Leeds, das eineinhalb Jahre existierte und in dem auch New Model Army spielte. Liggins spielte in der Band The Sinister Cleaners zusammen mit John Parkes, Andrew Middleton und Simon Smith. Sein Interesse an slawischen Sprachen brachte ihn dazu, Russisch und Tschechisch zu lernen. In den späten 1980er Jahren dann spielte er die Geige auf den Alben "Ukrainski Vistupi V Johna Peela" / "Ukrainian John Peel Sessions" / "Live 1989" von The Wedding Present und anschließend ab 1991 bei The Ukrainians zusammen mit Peter Solowka von The Wedding Present. 2004 veröffentlichte er seine besten Solo-Tracks auf einem 20-Track-CD-Album mit dem Titel "Songs about Love, Dreams and Domestic Appliances".

Der 1959 in Oldham geborene Peter Solowka gründete mit seinen Schulfreunden David Gedge, Keith Gregory und Shaun Charman die Band The Wedding Present. Sein Interesse an seiner ethnischen Abstammung brachte ihn 1989 dazu, Titel in ukrainischer Sprache zu veröffentlichen. Er verließ die Band und gründete mit Len Liggins, Roman Remeynes und Stepan Pasicznyk die Ukrainians.

Roman Remeynes, der Mandoline spielte, gehörte zu den Gründungsmitgliedern. Er verstarb am 4. März 2014 nach langer Krankheit.

Stepan Pasicznyk, geboren 1963 in Luton, gehörte zu den Gründungsmitgliedern der Band. Er verließ die Band bald wieder.
