Що жінки роблять несвідомо: 7 звичок, які поступово знижують інтерес чоловіка

  У стосунках рідко буває все ідеально, і це — нормально. Проте іноді ми самі, не усвідомлюючи того, створюємо напругу у партнерстві. Йдеться не про зовнішність, не про характер як такий, а про ті непомітні шаблони поведінки, які поступово відштовхують, замість зближувати. Іноді це дрібниці, які з часом накопичуються й формують глибоке відчуження. Нижче — […]

Nursery practitioner Kimberley Cookson, 22, has been charged with gross negligence manslaughter following the horror.

She appeared at Wolverhampton Crown Court today where pleaded guilty to the charge.

Deborah Latewood, 54 – director and business owner – denied one count of failing to comply with general duties under the Health and Safety at Work Act.

Fairytales Nursery Limited also pleaded not guilty to one count of corporate manslaughter and failing to comply with a duty under the Health and Safety at Work Act.  

The horror unfolded on December 9, 2022, at the nursery, which has since closed down.

Noah was rushed to hospital but sadly he could not be saved and died shortly after.

His mum Masi Sibanda previously paid tribute to her “lovable” son.

She described Noah as a “handsome, beautiful, cute boy” who was very “lovable” and always smiling.

Masi added: “I know parents are biased, but he was so beautiful.

He was calm, very relaxed and quite chilled and unfazed by things. We would find him just chilling with his arm behind his head.

“He was very easy-going and he made it easy as a first-time parent.”

‘Disturbing scenes’ as houses destroyed in Ballymena riots hours after two boys charged over attempted rape of teen girl

HOMES were destroyed and missiles were thrown at cops by masked thugs last night in “disturbing scenes” as rioting broke out in Ballymena, Co Antrim.

The unrest broke out after an estimated 2,500 people gathered after a teenage girl was allegedly the victim of a serious sexual assault at the weekend.

The crowd had initially gathered to support the family of the girl but violence broke out later in the evening, with homes being smashed in and missiles thrown through the windows.

A line of police vehicles advanced towards the protesters followed by officers on foot.

Those involved in the violent incident burned plastic road barriers and bins that were making up a part of the barricade on the street and clips show masked yobs tossing missiles at PSNI vehicles.

Firefighters later responded to the burning debris on the road and inspected a nearby house which had filled with smoke.

Justice Minister Naomi Long said there can be “no justification” for such “appalling” scenes.

She said: “I am absolutely appalled by the disturbing scenes in Ballymena yesterday evening during which PSNI officers were injured, residents terrorised, and properties damaged.

“There is absolutely no place in our society for such disorder and there can be no justification for it.”

Long said attacking homes and police officers “serves no purpose other than to damage communities and raise tension”, adding that those involved in the violence will be “held accountable”.

The carnage erupted hours after two 14-year-old boys appeared at Coleraine Magistrates’ Court charged with attempted rape.

The boys, who legally cannot be named due to their age, spoke to confirm their names and ages.

Their solicitor said they would be denying the charges.

Tyler Hoey, Deputy mayor of Mid and East Antrim Borough, said there had been “outstanding” support at the peaceful protest earlier in the day for the family of the girl who was allegedly assaulted.

‘NARRATIVE HAS BEEN DIVERTED’

Speaking on BBC’s The Nolan Show, he added that the violence that followed “has to be condemned” and called for peace on the streets.

North Antrim MP Mr Allister said he had spoken to the family of the girl who was the victim of the alleged sexual assault and they did not want to see violent scenes.

He said: “Sadly the narrative has been diverted, and it has been diverted by those who wrongly and foolishly involved in violence and made the story something that what it otherwise should be.

“My message is the violence should stop. The concerns are there, I am certainly aware of them, I hear them and there needs now to be a period of calm and justice needs to take its course.”

‘URGING EVERYONE TO REMAIN CALM’

Several properties in the Clonavon Terrace area suffered severe damage last night, including broken windows, and a boat could be seen overturned in the street.

It is understood that at least two houses were set alight during the incident, with flames from these homes spreading to nearby properties.

Police dogs were deployed to the area and PSNI riot officers attended the scene in an attempt to “bring calm”.

Chief Superintendent Sue Steen appealed for locals to remain calm and refrain from engaging in violence.

She said: “We are urging everyone to remain calm and to act responsibly.

“Violence and disorder will only place people at greater risk.

“Our priority is to keep the community safe, and I would appeal to everyone to work with us to bring calm to the area as quickly as possible.”

Our town is being shamed by ridiculous Tripadvisor tourist reviews that say it’s drug-riddled and covered in dog poo

Collage of Scarborough, England: aerial view of the town, beach, and coastline; inset photos of people and dogs.

WITH its golden sandy beaches, blue lapping seashore and peppering of fishing boats, this British seaside town looks like the perfect staycation holiday spot.

But local residents have been forced to defend their hometown after scathing Tripadvisor reviews slammed the resort as “full of dog poo” and haunted by drug addicts.

Residents have now hit back at critics after Scarborough was dubbed “tacky and overrated”.

One review read: “AVOID, AVOID, AVOID! Dog poo all over.”

Another added: ” I was very disappointed to be dodging dog poo, I know it’s the dog owners responsibility to pick up, however where are the dog fowling signs?

“This became a bigger issue when the sun went down as you couldn’t see it until it was too late.

“Also the bins where overloaded and well due an empty.
We use to love this place for its cleanliness.”

And a third said: “Lots of drug use.”

Aside from a period in the 1990s, when the tourist hotspot was awash with drug abusers who lingered around Peasholm Park, locals say Scarborough has been reborn.

The Open Air Theatre now attracts huge crowds for top class acts and the Odeon has been transformed into the Stephen Joseph Theatre.

Chalet owner Nikii Walker, 46, from Old Farnley, Leeds, came to the North Yorkshire resort as a student to study dance, music and technology.

For her, the negative reviews bear no semblance on the truth.

Gesturing at the view of the North Bay, she said: “How is it tacky? Look at it. It’s bloody beautiful.

“You have the wonderful sea and brightly painted chalets. We have the castle.”

Referring to the town’s nightlife, she said: “There is not [much nightlife here] any more, but that does not matter as I have grown up.

“We have the sea, and beach, a run, swim and Dalby Forest right next to us. What more could you ask for?

“We had the most beautiful day only last week walking up at The Castle. It looked amazing.”

Seafront waitress Lily Eve, 18, added: “I was born and bred in Scarborough and I love living here.

“I love the beach and the town. There may not be any proper nightclubs here any more but people still have a good time.

“I am learning to surf and the waves are brilliant and the sea is generally clean although it does have its moments.”

Amber Millar, 22, was born in Scarborough and now works as a dog walker.

In response to criticisms about the town’s dog poo epidemic, she said: “You really do not see much of it.”

She added: “You could walk all around the North Bay and Marine Drive and you’re not going to see any dog poo.

“We have lots of lovely small shops and businesses. When people say Scarborough they associate it just with amusements.

“But we have two beautiful bays and Peasholm Park where I always walk my dogs because it is beautiful and full of friendly people.

“People might say I am biased because I live here. But I love the sea and they take care of the beaches.

“When people say it is not very nice I think they are just listening to a very small minority. We love our seaside town.

“We do not want to be overrun by tourists. The businesses need the tourists because for most of us it is our home.”

The harsh reviews come as plans to revitalise the town centre are being set into motion.

Plans include a major revamp of the Brunswick shopping mall and reinstating a local cinema after the Odean closed in the 80s – and was later converted into Sir Alan Ayckbourn’s Stephen Joseph Theatre.

Jim Hughes, 73, who used to manage the town’s Brunswick shopping centre before he retired, called the town a “lovely” place.

Walking his small dog Bella on the promenade with Katheryn Baggallay, 67, he said: “I think Scarborough is a lovely place. It is very clean, very tidy and well presented.

“The beaches are well controlled for dogs with certain areas designated no dogs which makes it really family friendly.

“There are plenty of bins around the seafront and town which help keep the town clean and tidy. There are lots of things for families and kids to do.

“We have plenty of parks, including Peasholm park, a wonderful cricket ground where first class cricket is played and two superb golf courses.

“There is something for everyone.”

Despite this, Jim admitted Scarborough had become quite run down and he was looking forward to the Brunswick’s revamp later this year.

He added: “It will be a real bonus for the area and hopefully attract more quality shops back to the town centre and better things into the town.”

For Katheryn, the area is far from “tacky” and there is plenty of countryside for people to go and wander around.

Though, she added, the town could benefit from more “family things”.

For retired pitman Terry Heselden, 77, there is “nothing wrong” with Scarborough.

He said: “I have a caravan just down the road so I am here all the time and have never known anything wrong with Scarborough.

“I take the dog here on the beach on the North Bay and South Bay. The council run gardens are all immaculate.

“We have coming here 23 years. I know the Grand Hotel has got a bit of a reputation now. But I can remember going in there 30 years ago.

“It has gone downhill a bit over the years. But apart from that it is a lovely town. I have never seen any dog poo laid about and I am down here twice a week.”
