3 h. ago Glasner thriving at Crystal Palace after rollercoaster run of emotions

Manager marked first anniversary at club with victory and team are hoping to combine away record with more success at Selhurst ParkOliver Glasner comes across as one of the Premier League’s more measured managers, although sometimes he can’t help himself. When Daniel Muñoz scored Crystal Palace’s second goal at Craven Cottage on Saturday, the Austrian was one of the first to join the celebrations after sprinting down the touchline and was handed a yellow card for his efforts. It was the second time Glasner has been cautioned for the same offence after the Colombia defender’s late equaliser against Newcastle in November sparked similar scenes.“I try to be quite controlled but to be honest I don’t always find the midway point,” said Glasner, who marked the first anniversary of his appointment with a fourth straight Premier League away victory. “I like these emotions and I think it’s one of the main reasons that I like being a manager because you get all these emotions sometimes within...

5 h. ago It’s grand theft AI and UK ministers are behind it. Oppose this robbery of people’s creativity | Andrew Lloyd Webber and Alastair Webber

The plan to weaken copyright law, allowing tech firms to profit for free from people’s talent, is an outrage, and the nation would sufferWe are father and son: one has written 16 musicals and counting, the other cofounded The Other Songs, a leading independent record and publishing company. Our work has employed thousands globally, nurturing the next generation of talent. Copyright is the foundation that protects this, and all creative work: from music, theatre and literature to film and art. Copyright ensures creators retain control and are fairly compensated. It underpins the creative economy. Put simply, it allows artists and creatives to make a living. Endless studies have shown what a benefit that creativity – music, theatre, dance, art, film, TV, the list is endless – has on the rest of society.Yet, today, the UK government is proposing changes that would strip creators of this protection. Under the data (use and access) bill, AI companies would be allowed to take works, past ...

6 h. ago Travelling with children: the blood, sweat and tears – and the determination to keep going | Lucille Wong

If you feel there are not enough challenges in your life as a parent, may I suggest taking your kids on a flightSharing the Load is a column about parenting children of all agesWe landed in Melbourne after our red-eye flight from Bali. Our then two-year-old was raging with fever (he was not ill when we boarded) and had screamed for five out of the six hours.Dazed and confused, we joined the long line for international passport holders instead of the much shorter family line for Australians. We wasted 40 minutes. That was when our then four-year-old decided to vomit. We cleaned that up (FYI, immigration has spew bags), got past the custom dogs, hauled our stuff on to the insanely packed bus that would take us to the equally packed cheap car park, found our car and drove home, before collapsing into a heap.

6 h. ago Holidays in hell: summer camp with Russia’s forgotten children

At the rural orphanage where I volunteered, the place resembled a Dickensian workhouse. The staff’s main tools were antipsychotics and violence. The experience gave me a window into Putin’s Russia In the summer of 2007, I joined a group of 30 Russian and English students to work on a month-long summer camp at a state orphanage for mentally and physically disabled children in the Pskov region, south of St Petersburg. We lived in a house nearby, or in tents pitched in the garden. Every day, we walked up to the orphanage to put on developmental activities, sporting events, solve puzzles, play games, stage shows and go on camping trips.I volunteered at the orphanage, in the village of Belskoye Ustye, for almost a decade, but it was the first visit that made the biggest impression. I had seen nothing like it. My closest reference point was probably workhouses or orphanages from a Charles Dickens novel. I vividly remember the smells – cooked food, unwashed bodies, chlorine and urine – and...

6 h. ago Grace Slick on sex, drugs and Jefferson Airplane: ‘I was sober in the 80s. That was a mistake’

She topped the charts, dropped the F-bomb on US TV, was ghosted by Jim Morrison and planned to spike Richard Nixon’s tea with LSD. Now 85, the legendary singer tells allRock’n’roll might not be advertised as being good for your health, but it’s worked out all right for Grace Slick. The former Jefferson Airplane singer is talking me through a life story that spans psychedelic drugs, free love, alcoholism, house fires and a high speed car crash. And yet, even at the age of 85, she sounds as perky, full of mischief and hilariously coarse as any interviewee I can remember.“Rock’n’roll people are spoiled brats,” she says at one point with a throaty cackle. “We don’t know anything about anything except having fun, how much money we can spend and who we can screw.” Continue reading...
