New dad, 23, dies after breaking up fight while out celebrating his son's birth

A new dad had died after breaking up a fight while out celebrating the birth of his son.
Benji Bolsenbroek, 23, was fatally injured trying to break up a brawl in or near the Park Hotel in Linthorpe Road, Middlesbrough.
His partner Georgina McGuire was looking after their son Kianey while he went out with friends on Saturday night.
In the hours before he died he was reportedly proudly showing off a photo of the newborn.
A picture of bare-chested Bolsenbroek cuddling his son is on his Facebook page.
It is believed he made it back to his mother's house after being injured, where he reported feeling unwell and took a taxi to hospital.
He died at around 1am yesterday at the James Cook University Hospital.
A friend writing on the Middlesbrough FC supporters internet forum Fly Me to the Moon said "scumbags" hit Mr Bolsenbroek several times while he was on the floor.
He said an argument had escalated into a "full scale brawl" involving up to 25 men and women, with "chairs, tables, bottles and glasses flying".
The friend added: "Benji was one of the most genuine, nicest people you could have ever met who had just become a dad a few days before.
"He was beaming with pride all night, showing off pictures to everybody of his newborn child.
"RIP Benji."
On Wednesday Mr Bolsenbroek said on Facebook that he "could not ask for a better baby boy" and that he could not "peel the smile off [his] face."
He invited his friends to join to "wet the baby's head" on Saturday.
Ms McGuire wrote on Facebook about losing "the best dad ever".
She said: "I am numb, only the support of my true love Benji Bolsenbroek would get me through such a traumatic time but I am taking comfort in the fact he got to witness our perfect son enter the world.
"He was the best dad ever and had so much more to give but he lives on with all of us in Kianey.
"I'm truly overwhelmed by all of the support, just hoping deep down I will wake soon from the worst nightmare of my entire life. Sleep tight handsome, until we meet again. I love you more than words could ever say and I always always will xxx"
Detective Superintendent Rob Donaghy, who is leading the investigation, will give more details about the inquiry at a news conference at Cleveland Police headquarters this afternoon.

Wunmi and I went to the same secondary school and I can tell you without a doubt, she was very studious, she was a bookworm,, but II also know many bookworms that were not geniuses, so I decided to ask her how she did it. some people say, Hard work ,  Luck, Heredity , and Prayers, I say, let's hear from the horse's mouth.

Bad News Discouraged Me From Blogging

 I abandoned my blog for so many years, I started my blog in 2013 and I stopped blogging in 2018. I started calling myself a failed blogger because after blogging for so many years, I didn't get the anticipated traffic, so I abandoned it for more interesting things, well, so I thought, unknown to me, once a writer, always a writer, II have been writing on some of my social media platforms and I noticed the traffic is not exactly how I expect it to be, I started questioning myself, am I that bad? why am I not getting the level of interest that I envisaged from people, then it dawned on me. I... get it now.... I am called out to write for the purpose of uplifting, which means my stories and posts are all about good news and uplifting stories, this is not what most people like to hear, what they like is something catchy with an undertone of bad news, it's not their fault, the brain is wired to zoom in on the negatives. I woke up one morning and said to myself, if sharing good news...
