Although there are several stressful seasons that take place throughout the course of the year, the holidays tend to be the most stressful. With that idea in mind, individuals who want to maintain mental and emotional balance so their health will not be compromised during the jolly season should note that they can use food and fitness to keep themselves in a stress-free, spectacular state of being. To learn more about how to manifest this peaceful, positive lifestyle, consider the strategies below:
1. Eat Clean.
Here at Sullivan Personal training Park Hills Nutrition, we believe in the productive power that eating well can have in positively impacting mood and well-being. In recent years, the concept of eating "clean" has gained credence as more and more scientific research has been conducted on the great value of eating foods in their whole, natural form. As made plain by numerous research studies, eating fruits is a proven way to promote a calm, happy state of mind. This may especially be the case with bananas, the fruit which contains serotonin, the "happy hormone" noting for producing feelings of peace and general well-being.
2. Get A Workout Buddy.
Although many people are aware of the role that exercise plays in limiting stress, they are unaware that their ability to do so can increase exponentially if they work out with a partner. This is the case for many reasons, including the fact that people who work out with a partner oftentimes challenge themselves to perform at a higher level of efficacy than they would if they were alone. With the increased exertion comes an increased feeling of catharsis and accomplishment once the exercise is over, and this profoundly positive feeling is highly effective in combating holiday-related stress. If you can't find a workout buddy, hire a personal trainer who possesses the knowledge and experience to design a customized exercise program that will keep you active, happy, slim, and trim!
3. Lift Weights.
Lifting weights is a wonderful form of physical activity to incorporate into your exercise regimen if you're attempting to fight stress during the holiday season. This is the case for numerous reasons, including the fact that lifting weights is an intense exercise that can help you channel anxiety and other negative emotions into the exertion necessary to complete the physical movements effectively. Once you've released the negative feelings, your emotional state will oftentimes evolve into a mode marked by peace and well-being. An added benefit of lifting weights is that consistent engagement in the activity speeds up gastrointestinal speed, meaning that you're much less likely to experience the chronic, stress-inducing constipation that is prevalent during the holiday season.
4. Do Yoga.
Many fitness experts agree that yoga is one of the most effective exercises that you can perform for the purpose of limiting stress. This is so for several reasons, including the fact that this is a form of exercise that individuals at any fitness level can perform. Moreover, yoga is known to lower blood pressure, regulate breathing, and decrease insulin resistance. These are just a few of the great health benefits that result from doing yoga, and each of them promote a sense of wellness which is effective in alleviating stress that can result from the "go-go-go" mentality of the festive season.
Summing It All Up
Here at Park Hills Fitness, we know that consistent exercise can play a profoundly positive role in limiting an individual's experience of stress. We also recognize the integral role that eating sensibly can play in facilitating a sense of well-being and equilibrium. To ensure that you enjoy the holiday season this year, be sure to implement some or all of the helpful strategies we've outlined above. Good luck!

Patrick Einsle
|Date of Birth
|Patrick Einsle
Name : Patrick Einsle
Highest Ranking : 80 (September 2010)
Highest Break : 100 (2010 Paul Hunter Classic)
Patrick Einsle (born 22 April 1987 in Füssen, Bavaria) is a former German professional snooker player.
Early years
In 1998, at the age of 11, Einsle began to play snooker. He made his first century break at the age of 14.
He participated at the 2005 World Games in snooker, but failed in the first round 1–3 to the eventual gold medallist Gerard Greene. At the 2006 Fürth German Open Einsle won against Fergal O'Brien and Stephen Lee and lost only 2–3 in the quarter-finals to the eventual finalist Barry Hawkins.
2006/2007 season
Einsle turned professional in 2006/2007, after receiving a Main Tour wildcard from the WPBSA following the withdrawal of Paul Hunter. He dropped off the tour after the same season.
Einsle had his first qualification match on the Main Tour only three days after his appeal, he lost in the qualifying round of the Northern Ireland Trophy clearly with 0–5 against Lee Page. At the Grand Prix he survived the first two qualification rounds and was able to collect some points for the snooker world rankings. His third qualification match for the Malta, he lost with 4:5 against Mark Joyce.
In the qualifying for the Masters he lost in the first round 1–4 against Chris Norbury. He also lost in the first qualifying rounds of the UK Championship, the Welsh Open, the China Open and the World Championship, as he was defeated by 9–0 Judd Trump, 5–1 by Lee Spick, 2–5 by Andrew Higginson and 4–10 by Passakorn Suwannawat respectively. At the end he was ranked 94 of the snooker world ranking and thus lost his place on the Main Tour.
Amateur 2007–2010
On 1 November 2009 Einsle defeated Itaro Santos, his friend and training partner, 4–2 in the final of the German Championship, held in Bad Wildungen, to win the title for the first time. During the tournament he lost only two frames.
2010/2011 season
He was awarded another wildcard from the WPBSA for the 2010/2011 Main Tour.
He achieved first success in the third event of the Players Tour Championship, when he defeated Jimmy Robertson and former world champion Peter Ebdon, before losing in round 3. In the qualifying for the Shanghai Masters he won his first qualifying match, but he lost in the second round to Irishman Joe Delaney. After the first cut-off point of the world rankings (after EPTC event 2) he was ranked 87 in the world. In the sixth event of the tour he beat Nigel Bond in the first round and was defeated by Ali Carter, at this time No. 2 in the world ranking, with just 3–4.
In December, he withdrew from the Tour for the remainder of the season.
2013/2014 season
In April 2013 Einsle won one of the three final matches of the EBSA Qualifying Tour and thus received a two-year tour ticket for the 2013/2014 and 2014/2015 seasons. However, he only won two matches of his fourteen in the season at the last 128 stage of PTC events, which left him ranked 118th at the end of the season. Einsle didn't enter a single event after the Gdynia Open in February 2014 and eventually resigned from the main tour once again.
2014/2015 season
Einsle played in the 2014 Paul Hunter Classic as an amateur, losing 4–3 to Marc Davis in the second qualifying round.
2015/2016 season
Like the previous season, the only event Einsle entered was the Paul Hunter Classic and he won three matches to reach the main draw, but lost 4–1 to Matthew Stevens in the first round.

Poking my slam's boyfriend on facebook. TFM.
Poking my slam's boyfriend on facebook. TFM.
This is embarrassing to all Greeks. Not a TFM. Debrother immediately.
Hell yeah bro frat on.
You can still poke on Facebook?
^Someone gets it. Finally.
usually I just shake his hand, punch him in the throat, beat him with a belt, kick him in the face until he's unconcious, hog tie him, then pee on him. Thats how to assert dominance. Oh and then I poke him on Facebook.
Can't argue with results
I usually just rape him.
Probably one of the top three gayest comments of TFM history. And that's including Fratdusky's comments.
Blocking your slams boyfriend because you don't want him to find out who you are and come beat your ass. RFM.
Well that's kind of fucked up.
Never using the poke button on Facebook because I'm not queer.
Says the guy named ass fuck…
This is gayer than aids.
It's a small tub
^ That's pretty fucking gay
Gayer than Elton John doing a line off Ryan Seacrest's cock while sitting on a rainbow in a hot tub filled with semen.
This is gayer than a bag of dicks
How did you get that much semen in a hot tub?
Poking your slam's hot friend, then having a threesome. FaF.
I bet you poke him… with your dong.
The thing about this is, the boyfriend can't say shit. "That motherfucker poked me on facebook. That's the last fucking straw." You can't say that with a straight face and look tough.
You queer, boy?
Gets even better when he goes to see who you are and realizes your only mutual friend is his girlfriend.

Marketing Tactics
2014's Top Marketing Trend
What you need to know before planning your 2014 marketing strategy.
The new word in content marketing is small. Increasingly, brands are marketing themselves via short-form social media like Vine, Twitter, Instagram, Instagram video and the newer platform Snapchat – not by broadcasting their silly old messages but by treating their prospects and customers with respect, engaging with them directly through brief snippets of conversation, personality and humour.
It's not just for fun: Consumers who engage with brands via social media demonstrate a deeper emotional commitment to those brands and spend 20 to 40 percent more than other customers, according to a report from Bain & Company.
Twitter works for fast food giant
Taco Bell has been killing it on Twitter, creating a hip, fun presence to turn customers into evangelists. Based in part on its snappy, very human interactions, the fast-food giant generated enough early buzz to make Doritos Locos Tacos its most successful product launch to date.
(Taco Bell reportedly sold 100 million in the product's first 10 weeks, and its parent company, Yum Brands, registered a 15% increase in profit during the launch quarter.)
Starting a conversation
So how does a corporate entity create a fun personality in just a few words? By starting conversations that have a human voice, an immediacy – a layer of excitement that transcends, say, a boring e-mail, or just about any other long-form medium.
After Men's Humor tweeted, "This morning I gave birth to a food baby, and I think @tacobell is the father," the restaurant responded with a tweet of its own, demanding a DNA test.
More recently, Taco Bell extended its small-but-smart content strategy to become one of the first brands to embrace Snapchat (a mobile platform in which messages disappear within 10 seconds), sending its followers there a picture previewing the reintroduction of its Beefy Crunch Burrito. Lowe's, Dunkin' Donuts and Target are other big brands that have embraced the trend successfully.
Short and sweet is key
But the opportunity is equally rich for smaller companies. During New York's Fashion Week in September, designer Rebecca Minkoff previewed her new collection via Snapchat, giving fans a 10-second glimpse of each of her new looks.
Coffeehouse Cafe Moka uses a short-form video to show how baristas create that leaf design atop a latte. FMW Fasteners manages to engage customers despite the fact that it sells decidedly unexciting, impersonal items such as nuts, bolts and rivets: "Nothing says 'I Love You Dad' like drill bits … just sayin,'" the company tweeted for Father's Day.
David Armano of global social agency Edelman Digital calls mini content, like the six-second video platform Vine, "the second coming of YouTube."
He notes how a job applicant impressed him with a Vine video: "It told me a story about wanting to meet me in six seconds, which is tough to do." Such platforms are suited to this age of ADD, he adds, when the best way to reach someone is in those "in-between" moments when they're flipping through content on a mobile device.
Marketing Tactics
4 Ways To Implement Strategic Marketing Without Breaking The Bank
Marketing your start-up is all about the right strategies, not how much money you spend. You need to build your reputation from the ground up. Here's how you can get started.
Building a fledgling business is as much about increasing your client base as it is about building a positive reputation around the business and its expertise. Many experts and seasoned entrepreneurs argue that clients buy from people they trust and building that trust hinges on various parameters.
Take Steve Jobs, Wendy Luhabe, Richard Branson and many other leading business minds whose brands are built on years of credibility and trust. The truth is that equal attention needs to be given to great products and building trust within your client base.
Here are five skills that we've used to build our reputation at WordStart.
1Sharpen your writing skills for media and general communication
Create media coverage. Write on a company platform (like a blog) or for established media outlets. This will position you and your business in ways that get people to listen and share your knowledge.
Having your name next to an article on a respected platform can lead to useful connections with relevant contacts. A series of media features and industry commentary also help to position your business and team as experts in your field.
2Share industry trends
People will generally do research in and around an industry to find insights and trends, sometimes before they buy anything in that industry — and even afterwards. When I search for information on photography, Canon appears more than any other brand and they tend to set the scene on which device to buy.
Imagine your business is construction and that homeowners endorse your skills as a home improvement specialist. Packaging your knowledge into industry trends is also a great way to use your own lessons about the industry as you grow and it also helps you to connect with potential customers. Useful information with your name on it can increase your sales and client base.
3Edit. Edit. Edit
Something that cannot be stressed enough is that your writing in client documents can tarnish your brand. Many businesses tend to overlook the importance of grammar in their documents.
It can be difficult to reread and rewrite documents that you use in the business, but that is precisely what can lead to the loss of new and existing business.
Pay attention to how your business uses language and edit that work. When in doubt, read it again and be sure that nothing was missed.
4Practice public speaking and search for opportunities
After you have written for various publications, you increase the likelihood of being invited to speak at conferences and seminars, which means that people put a face and voice to the written expertise. In some instances, the speaking engagements can be paid for by conference organisers which can be an additional revenue stream.
Public speaking, especially industry-related speaking, will increase the likelihood of selling more products or services and this will separate you from the competition. By increasing the trust customers have in you, you can improve the likelihood of them buying from you.
Once a business is positioned as a team of experts with the ability to speak for their industry, opportunities open up for that business to create unique content. Industry leaders who are able to help the public to connect the dots through the information they share are regularly on guest lists.
Is there anything you can share that your industry peers and the public may find eye-opening? There may be a conference organiser looking for you.
5Educate the market and build a client base
One of the advantages of being part of an industry is that you have inside information that the general public does not have. This presents an opportunity for you and your business to become a self-nominated industry mouthpiece.
When an individual and business share news about an industry, they can create a new client base because the public associates them with that information.
One of the best cases in South Africa is Discovery's Vitality rewards programme, where you earn points for being healthy. This does not mean that Momentum, Bonitas, Sanlam, Sizwe and other players do not have similar or even better offerings. Vitality is more visible and more vocal about the fact that leading a healthier life can get you rewards.
A great reputation may lead to positive word-of-mouth for your business and increased sales over a longer period than a single marketing message.
Marketing Tactics
Cut The Bull That Comes With Women Saudi Drivers
If there is an opportunity to increase sales and dominate a market, hell they are going in, briefing their agencies to start the marketing and… well, cue the thoughtlessness.
Women belong in the kitchen, right? Wrong! Now they can drive in Saudi, and you know what that means? They can fetch the groceries too!
Bet the Feminists clicked on this article looking to wage a social media war. No need. The afore mentioned thinking is exactly how the quick acting social media teams of major car manufacturers are acting after King Salman announced the lift on banning women drivers in the kingdom.
Whether we think it's progressive is not the debate here right now. I personally think its great that such a country who has long 'protected' its women from the horrors on the road now believes that women are capable of taking care of themselves out there. The issue? Let's take one step back and mention one South African social brand so you can see where I am heading. Take Bic Pens with their infamous 2015 #HappyWomensDay post reading, "Look like a Girl, Act like a Lady, Think like a Man, Work like a Boss".
What does a Pen in South Africa and a Car in Saudi Araba have in common you ask? All their CEO's have a twig and two berries (66% of those car manufacturers who 'praised' Saudi Women drivers on social, are white men) and they didn't get there without some form of business knowledge.

If there is an opportunity to increase sales and dominate a market, hell they are going in, briefing their agencies to start the marketing and… well, cue the thoughtlessness.
Thinking before Tweeting
There is nothing like a good tactical on Social Media. Every brand wants to be Oreos during the super bowl when the lights went out. Every Marketing Manager wants to be the one to get his or her clever execution out first because time is of the essence.
Did the car manufacturers do great tactical work? Absolutely!
Did the car manufacturers think about the role they didn't play in the fight for the cause? Absolutely NOT! They just saw another opportunity to capitalise on 'to be relevant'.
This ever-connected digital world we live in comes with an opportunity for brands to build deep relationships with their customers. Sure relevance is key, but do (straight, white, male) brands have a place in that conversation now that the hard work is done (by strong Saudi Women)? Was fighting for women's rights to drive in Saudi ever part of their Brand DNA before the last week of September 2017? Nope, they just see an increase in sales come June 2018.
Common amongst those tactical auto brands' values were customer service promises, the comfort of people in cars, and sustainability. Only one vouched for the respect for diversity, while another strived for integrity, vowing to keep its doors open to men and women alike. While I can understand that a Trans National Corporation needed to respect culture and politicophere of Saudi to be able to operate there, was there not an opportunity to lead the charge and help the 10- year fight for equality on the Kingdom's roads? Would their auto brands need to advertise after being part of the battle after that?
The irony is that The Women to Drive Movement started with a 2007 YouTube video. Did none of these brands have an ORM tool that picked this up? I wonder if any evaluated the risks vs the returns had they supported the movement.
Sullivan Principles Anyone?
Back in 1977, The Sullivan Principles was a part of the world's Corporate Social Responsibility as brands applied pressure on apartheid, South Africa. The corporate protest came with the thought that if business divested in SA, apartheid would eventually be cash-strapped and collapse. At the time General Motors was the biggest employer of Black South Africans and eventually was the first to pull out.
In 1999 the new Global Sullivan Principles was unveiled by UN Secretary General Kofi Annan and the preamble reads:
"The objectives of the Global Sullivan Principles are to support economic, social and political justice by companies where they do business; to support human rights and to encourage equal opportunity at all levels of employment, including racial and gender diversity on decision making committees and boards; to train and advance disadvantaged workers for technical, supervisory and management opportunities; and to assist with greater tolerance and understanding among peoples; thereby, helping to improve the quality of life for communities, workers and children with dignity and equality."

The first part of the new Sullivan Principles reads:
(We) "express our support for universal human rights and, particularly, those of our employees, the communities within which we operate, and parties with whom we do business."
If brands actually invested in the people and their lives first, the customers will follow. Do this and there would be no need to be super tactical when it comes to the celebrations of the marginalised. We need brands to value ethical and corporate social responsibility they have in the markets they operate in. We have seen that the likes of General Motors can have an impact on a country, especially in South Africa (let's drop the fact that they have divested again for the purposes of this).
Bottom line is advertising, marketing and brands have the power to shape the world years before a few people can go at it alone. Yes, businesses need to make money, but see the bigger returns when you are a part of something. The returns will be greater than the PR value you got on that meaningless, thoughtless, and unearned tweet. I promise you.
Marketing Tactics
4 Unique Marketing Ideas For SMEs On A Budget
There are a plethora of unique marketing ideas that have been proven to be effective and require only a modest initial investment.
When it comes to marketing, some business owners have to work on a shoestring budget. In fact, deciding which marketing or advertising strategies will yield the greatest results for the least amount of capital is one of the toughest challenges facing small to medium enterprises.
Thankfully, there are a plethora of unique marketing ideas that have been proven to be effective and require only a modest initial investment.
1Generate online buzz through digital PR
Building a relationship with the press is a great way to get the word out. Try finding blogs, newspapers, tabloids, magazines, and webzines that are relevant to your business and offer them an exclusive press release. Most news outlets will list a telephone number you can call or email address you can write for press inquiries.
If you're a locally-oriented business, try reaching out to smaller publications like community newspapers or newsletters.
Remember to be courteous and not too pushy with the editors and reporters you come in contact with. It's their choice whether they want to cover the story or not. The goal is to build a working relationship with them, and an overly aggressive or hostile attitude can jeopardize any chance of positive coverage in the future.
Journalists will take an objective approach to covering your press release, so don't expect coverage to always be glowing. Still, it's an incredibly effective way to start spreading word-of-mouth about your business. Articles like these help generate buzz about new startups, and people are more inclined to read them because they aren't paid adverts.
2Email marketing
Email marketing is "a type of direct digital marketing that uses electronic mail (also called email or e-mail) as the marketing communication delivery method." It's also one of the most effective, yet under-utilised marketing tools you can utilise on a tight budget.
The trick to successful email marketing is garnering a large roster of subscribers. This can be accomplished a number of ways. The most successful, by far, is by offering potential subscribers a free resource. Just what this resource is depends on your business, but it should be something a consumer would find highly valuable.
When it comes to email marketing software, there are quite a few options are your disposal. MailChimp is free to start with, but puts a price-tag on premium features. ReachMail is also free for up to 5 000 subscribers and 15 000 emails per month.

3Offer promotional vouchers and special deals
Offering coupons, vouchers, special deals, and one-time offers is a great way to attract new customers. It's doubly beneficial because these new customers are more likely to be loyal to your business in the future.
While printing vouchers in a local paper works best for small, brick-and-mortar enterprises, don't under-estimate the value of online promotions. Voucher Bin example of a website that connects consumers with businesses and brands offering special promotions.
4Social media influencer marketing
Whether your monthly budget is $1000 or $1,000,000, a good long-term marketing strategy should always be oriented around building beneficial relationships. The term influencer marketing refers to doing just that.

Though the concept has been with us for a long time, only recently has social media brought it to the forefront of modern marketing strategies.
"Influencer marketing can be loosely defined as a form of marketing that identifies and targets individuals with influence over potential buyers," writes Kyle Wong in Forbes magazine.
"In the past, brands may have focused on popular bloggers and celebrities but today there is a new wave of 'everyday' consumers that can have just as large an impact."
Try finding individuals who are influential on social media (look at their number of followers and post interactions) and offer he or she a few perks for mentioning your brand, product, or business. Try to target your efforts at people who would have a legitimate, enthusiastic interest in what your organization does.
Remember, you're trying to build a long-term relationship with these individuals, so always approach respectfully and through the appropriate channels.

The flying winger made quite an impression in a loan spell at Loftus Road in the 2012-13 campaign, scoring twice in 12 appearances and shining despite Rangers' relegation from the Premier League.
The West London side bounced straight back in 2013-14 and we now return to Loftus Road for the first time since a goalless draw in January, 2013.
"I had a great time at QPR and it will be great to see the players and the fans again and of course Chris Ramsey, who I worked with in the development squad here," said Andros.
"In many ways it's a great occasion for me but first and foremost we've got to go and get the three points.
"At the time of my loan, people were looking to see if I could handle myself in the Premier League, I showed I could and I feel I've gone from strength to strength."
Andros scored a fine individual goal in Wednesday night's 3-2 win against Swansea - his sixth of the season but first from open play after hitting five out of five from the penalty spot in all competitions.
He's now made 30 appearances in all competitions including 21 starts. "Hopefully I'll continue scoring goals, continue making contributions like I did against Swansea and stay in the team, that's all I'm aiming to do for the rest of the season," he added.
As for that win against the Swans, Andros reflected: "We had a big disappointment on Sunday and before that we hadn't won in four after the North London derby so it was important to get back to winning ways. It was a bit edgy at the end but it was three points and that's all that matters."

•Governor Fayose raising the hand of Prof. Kolapo Olusola yesterday in Ado-Ekiti.
Less than 48 hours after saying he was waiting on God for the choice of his successor, Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose may have settled for his deputy, Prof. Kolapo Olusola, as his successor.
Stakeholders in the state's Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), including party leaders, political office holders and supporters of Fayose, yesterday adopted Olusola as "the sole candidate" for the 2018 governorship poll.
At a meeting at the Government House in Ado-Ekiti, the state capital, the governor's loyalists said adopting Olusola as the "PDP sole candidate" did not preclude other aspirants from competing for the party's ticket at the primary.
Olusola, who was recently appointed Professor of Building Technology by Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) at Ile-Ife in Osun State, hails from Ikere-Ekiti in Ekiti South.
His adoption may have ended the governorship ambition of Senate Deputy Minority Whip Abiodun Olujimi; PDP's national spokesman Dayo Adeyeye; former Deputy Governor Sikiru Lawal; former High Commissioner in Canada Dare Bejide and former Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice Owoseni Ajayi.
Olujimi and Adeyeye have resisted Fayose's insistence that they drop their ambition.
Party sources said Fayose anointed Olusola after receiving a field report that his preferred candidate and former Commissioner for Works, Mr. Kayode Oso, "may not be sellable" to the electorate.
One of the sources said the governor briefed prominent indigenes of Ado-Ekiti, Oso's hometown, including a prominent lawyer and a traditional ruler, at a meeting Tuesday night.
The source added that Fayose called a stakeholders' meeting where he announced his decision to endorse Olusola.
The meeting was said to have been attended by 177 councillors, 177 ward chairmen, 16 local government party chairmen, 16 local council chairmen, chairmen and members of boards and corporations.
Others at the meeting include State Executive Council (EXCO) members, House of Assembly members, serving and former members of PDP State Working Committee (SWC) and the ex-deputy governor.
A communique issued at the end of the meeting reads: "After due consultation, without prejudice to provisions of the Electoral Act 2010 (as amended), we formally endorse Prof Kolapo Olusola (the current deputy governor), from Ekiti South Senatorial District, as our preferred aspirant/candidate."
Those who signed the communique are: Anifowose Mustapha (for councillors), Alhaji Amuda Sunmonu (for ward chairmen), Femi Bamisile (for local government party chairmen), Dapo Olagunju (for local government chairmen, ALGON) and Senator Bode Ola (for chairmen of boards and corporations).
Others are: Dr Modupe Alade, the Secretary to the State Government, SSG, (for State Executive Council, Exco), Kolawole Oluwawole, House of Assembly Speaker and PDP's State Chairman, Chief Gboyega Oguntuase.
After Olusola's adoption, Oguntuase said the party's organs would abide by the decision of the stakeholders in the interest of the party and people of Ekiti State.
The party chairman noted that the adoption will not preclude any member of the party interested in the governorship from contesting.
He pledged that an open and transparent primary will be held in accordance with party rules. Chairman, Forum of Ward Chairmen, Alhaji Amuda Sunmonu, hailed the decision, adding: "Wherever Governor Fayose goes, we will follow him."
Mustapha said the 177 councillors supported the governor and "the decision of the party stakeholders remained binding on us".
Dr Alade described Olusola as "a competent and loyal member of the Fayose political family".
She added that his adoption was a reward for loyalty, dedication and commitment. (The Nation)

Star and Patriot double up in Golden Jacket
Some of Ireland's top trackers were denied their outing in the semi-finals of the Best Car Parks Gold Cup due to the cancellation of Saturday's meeting at Shelbourne but our leading stayers completed a great double in the heats of the Golden Jacket.
First up over 714 metres at Crayford was the Dolores Ruth-trained Boylesports Star which gave a tremendous performance in winning Heat 4. He came from well back in the early stages to sweep to the front and he won by three lengths in 45.81.
In the next heat it was the turn of the Paul Hennessy-trained Jaytee Patriot and he also looked in trouble early as he was in wars on all the early bends. But he, too, produced a big surge over the second half of the race and ran out a most impressive three-and-a-quarter-length winner from Newlawn Simon in 45.87. The semi-finals will be run next Saturday morning and they will be live on SIS in the betting offices.
On the home front the big race of the night was the final of the Dublin Coach 525 at Limerick and the fastest semi-final winner Fancy Nancy obliged once again.
Owned by Aine Murphy from Hospital, Fancy Nancy took over from Tucker Foley along the back and then held the big late run of Liscahane Ted by half a length in 28.99.
The semi-finals of the Gain Cup were run at Curraheen and the fastest winner was the Owen McKenna-trained Ballymac Tomasso as he showed his appreciation for an inside draw when breaking fast and leading all to head home Ballymac Scala by three lengths in 28.43.
Liam Dowling, owner of Ballymac Scala, has a second finalist in Amanita Chic which got up late to win narrowly from Droopys Damo in 28.55.

Buryat deputy turned out to be gang leader
The gang included 13 people.
The First Deputy Prosecutor of the Republic of Buryatia approved the indictment in the criminal case against the OCG, which was engaged in illegal deforestation in the Buryat territory.
According to the investigation, the leader of the black lumberjacks gang is a deputy of the Bryanskoe rural settlement of the Kabansky district of Buryatia. He organized a gang of 13 people.
"In the period from April 24, 2015 to June 8, 2016, members of a criminal group illegally deforestated 14 forest plantations with a total volume of 2409 cubic meters, causing damage to the state for a total of more than 30 million rubles ($522.000)," the press service of the Prosecutor's Office of Buryatia reported.
The Prosecutor's Office also specified that the OCG included the forestry master of the autonomous institution of the Republic of Buryatia Kabansky Leskhoz.
The criminal case was initiated under part 3 of Article 256 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (Illegal Cutting of Forest Plantations) and part 3 of Art. 286 of the Criminal Code (Exceeding Official Powers). The case was sent to the Kabansky District Court. All OCG participants will soon be on the dock.
