KYIV, Ukraine  Ukrainian forces advanced on the Russian-occupied city of Kherson in the south on Friday, and the two sides battled over smaller cities in the east, as the armies fought not only each other but also a thick clay muck that can swallow vehicles' wheels and soldiers' boots whole.It is the muddy season, called bezdorizhzhya in Ukrainian and rasputitsa in Russian.

Trash Talk: Begin with the End in Mind - emptywheel

Golf widow here, once again enjoying a calm sunny Sunday afternoon left to my own devices.The leaves are nearly all fallen and blow away, the migratory birds have taken flight leaving only the hardiest yet to make the seasonal trek.Winter is definitely coming.Not to go all Stephen Covey on you, but I began this post yesterday with its end in mind.

'It was change or die': why morris men are now welcoming morris women

As I said, women have always done morris dancing, with or without some official seal of approval.There are records of women morris dancing in Oxfordshire in the 19th century, but it's true that early 20th-century revivalists made it a men-only thing.Last week, they rehearsed with women for the first time at Ide memorial hall in Devon.When they were excluded by the Ring, women simply set up their own teams, seeking recognition where they could find it.A third of the Morris Ring's member sides are now mixed male/female teams, and more than half of Britain's morris dancers are women.
