PUBLISHED: 18:38 27 July 2018 | UPDATED: 18:38 27 July 2018 Andy Warren Luke Chambers will continue as captain under new Ipswich manager Paul Hurst Picture: Steve Waller © Copyright Stephen Waller The challenge of proving himself under a new manager is exactly what Ipswich Town captain Luke Chambers feels he needs at this stage of his career. Hurst has been impressed by Chambers during his first few weeks at the club. Picture: ROSS HALLSThe 32-year-old was a nailed-on starter under former manager Mick McCarthy, making 164 appearances during his reign, but Hurst used his first press conference as Blues boss to insist no player was assured of a starting place.Chambers believes he has risen to that challenge, having almost certainly secured a place in Hurst’s starting XI as well as retaining the captaincy, but is well aware he can’t take his foot off the case given the Blues are in the market for at least two new centre-backs. “He … [Read more...] about ‘It’s been a breath of fresh air for me’

From a politician to a statesman: In an era of dirty politics, Imran Khan’s speech was a breath of fresh air
By Hamza Junaid Published: July 27, 2018 0 SHARES Share Tweet Email All eyes were glued to the television screens when he first addressed the nation as the prime minister in waiting. I started following Imran Khan when he used to be that kid who had a penny in his pocket but wanted to buy everything at the grocery store. He had one seat in the parliament, but he roared his opinions like one was more than enough. From one seat in the parliament for Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) to winning five seats as ‘Imran Khan’ alone, he has come a long way. All eyes were glued to the television screens when he first addressed the nation as the prime minister in waiting. Challenges awaiting Imran and his party are piled up like Jenga blocks; one wrong move could mean the entire tower of blocks collapses. However, if the victory speech is anything to go by, then Imran has already won our hearts.

Newark kid is a comfort to parent about camping with Greater Newark Fresh Air Fund
Sharese Pulliam was nervous during the parent orientation session with the Greater Newark Fresh Air Fund. Pulliam had agreed to allow her 11-year-old son, Tyler Harrison, to attend overnight camp, but she was still agonizing over the decision. "That's my baby," said Pulliam, of Newark. "He's never been away from me." She wanted to know if he could bring his cellphone to Camp Tecumseh in Pittstown, but Evon Garvin, the Fresh Air Fund coordinator, said that wasn't possible. MORE: Recent Barry Carter columns "Absolutely not," Garvin said. Phones are a distraction from what kids go to camp to experience. "It's about nature," Garvin said. "It's about them becoming one with nature." Since 1882, that's what city kids have experienced through the Greater Newark Fresh Air Fund, a popular summer camp program operated by the Newark Day Center, the oldest social service agency in New Jersey. "If you don't hear from them (kids), that's a good thing," Garvin told Pulliam. … [Read more...] about Newark kid is a comfort to parent about camping with Greater Newark Fresh Air Fund

Chef is breath of fresh air for Cyprus economy
AGNIESZKA RAKOCZY meets a chef who is keen to evolve his own style of cuisine and who has his eye on a Michelin star being given in Cyprus It is difficult to figure out someone so concentrated and focussed on realising his aspirations and achieving his future goals that he views any discussion of his past as an unnecessary diversion, one that might slow him down from reaching his destination and fulfilling his life’s quest. Yet how to comprehend, much less appreciate, so determined and driven a figure without stopping along the route he has travelled to savour the stories and better appreciate the experiences, the very dreams, his vision and accomplishments are built upon? I am talking here about Petros Andrianou, the 38-year-old, Paris-trained professional chef, and founder of 3 Forks Lab.
