It was a well played match

CNN)The International Olympic Committee's executive board said Sunday it is considering postponing -- but not canceling -- this summer's Olympic Games in Tokyo because of the coronavirus pandemic.

A week after saying no "drastic decisions" would be made, the IOC board said it is considering a number of options to deal with the ongoing outbreak, including modifying plans to allow the 2020 Tokyo Games to begin on schedule on July 24 or changing the start date for the Games.
The IOC said its scenario-planning will allow for the best decision in the interest of the athletes and everyone involved.

"This step will allow better visibility of the rapidly changing development of the health situation around the world and in Japan," the board said. "It will serve as the basis for the best decision in the interest of the athletes and everyone else involved."
The IOC executive board ruled out canceling the Games, saying it would "destroy the Olympic dream of 11,000 athletes" and all those who them, according to a letter to athletes from IOC President Thomas Bach.

"Cancellation would not solve any problem and would help nobody. Therefore it is not on our agenda," he wrote.
The IOC pointed out that conditions in Japan have improved significantly, but globally there has been a dramatic increase in Covid-19 cases. Bach recognized that the outbreak, and the measures to slow its spread, have already impacted athletes' training plans.
"Many of you cannot prepare and train in the way you are used to, or even not at all because of the anti-Covid-19 measures in your country," he said.
IOC under pressure to postpone
The IOC has faced increasing pressure to postpone the Games as people across the world have gotten sick and died from Covid-19. Tracks, gyms and public spaces are closed in much of the world and major qualifying events have been canceled.
Japan Olympic Committee member Kaori Yamaguchi broke ranks on Friday, saying the Games should be postponed because some athletes had been unable to train.
Four-time Olympic gold medalist and IOC member Hayley Wickenheiser said it is "insensitive and irresponsible" of the IOC to insist "with such conviction" that the Olympics would go ahead as planned.

"This crisis is bigger than even the Olympics," said the former Canadian ice hockey star.
"Athletes can't train. Attendees can't travel plan. Sponsors and marketers can't market with any degree of sanity ... we don't know what's happening in the next 24 hours, let alone in the next three months."
Bach noted in his letter that even postponing the Olympics is "an extremely complex challenge." Critical venues needed for the Games could potentially not be available if the Games were postponed now, he wrote.

"The situations with millions of nights already booked in hotels is extremely difficult to handle, and the international sports calendar for at least 33 Olympic sports would have to be adapted," Bach wrote. "These are just a few of many, many more challenges."
On Friday, Tim Hinchey III, the head of USA Swimming, called for the Olympics to be postponed to 2021, saying it is "the right and responsible thing to do" in a letter to the US Olympic & Paralympic Committee. On Saturday, Hinchey was ed in his call for postponing the games by Max Siegel, the head of USA Track and Field.

Well I have been seeing common law marriage littering the space since, in Nigeria we have two kind of marriage, from my training as a lawyer, the third is an hybrid
1. Marriage under the Act(whether in the church, embassy or registry falls under this one)
2. Customary marriage, predicated on the custom of people
3. The hybrid we called double decker marriage that is when the two is combined, the law is to the effect, that the last one conduct governs the union( you know our people often perform customary first)

josite:
this is what is called a common law marraige ,though not officially contracted.it is a legal marriage and you need to approach the court for a proper divorce,not necessarily the high court .

What is Common Law Marriage: A Definition. A common law marriage is one in which the couple lives together for a period of time and holds themselves out to friends, family and the community as "being married," but without ever going through a formal ceremony or getting a marriage license.


Key Takeaways

Only nine states and the District of Columbia still recognize common law marriages.
People who meet their state's common law marriage requirements will be eligible for most of the financial benefits—including federal benefits—of a married couple.
Those who move outside a state in which they established a common law marriage should check with an attorney regarding their status after the move.
A formal divorce is necessary to end a common law marriage.

Legal Marriage

In many jurisdictions, getting married requires being wed by an ordained minister or other person who has recognized authority to carry out a legal marriage. This can be done either in a religious setting or in a non-denominational or secular setting such as a city hall or court house. Here, a marriage license is issued and officially recorded. In the U.S., most states require a legal marriage in order for spousal benefits such as filing a t tax return, sharing financial s, and so on.
Common Law Marriage

A common law marriage, on the other hand, will recognize a couple as equivalent to legally married even if the couple never said their vows in a civil or religious ceremony and don’t have a marriage license. While states don’t have official rules on the books regarding common law marriage, there are certain conditions that have to be met for a couple to be considered married by common law. They must:

Be a heterosexual couple living together in a state that recognizes common law marriages.
Live together for a significant period of time. Although many people believe seven or 10 years is the requisite timespan, no state provides a specific timeframe for cohabitation.
Introduce themselves to friends, neighbors, and coworkers as a married couple, calling each other “my husband” or “my wife” and even using the same last name. Also, they must file a t tax return and have t bank s and credit cards.
Be of sound mind.
Not be married to someone else.

Your argument sound profound, however the court have pronounced in plethora of cases that there are never illegal children or children born out of wedlock as the children cannot be made to suffer for the deeds of their parents.

AmuDimpka:


They are not legally married and the kids are illegal kids ... They should go their separate ways no court things

Well you may be right logically, but that's not what the law say, the law matrimonial causes Act provides that two consenting adults can legally get married without the consent of their family , and that married will be valid, so long they are adults and consent to do so.

yvelchstores:
Any one who didn't marry with the approval and blessing of the woman's father is not married. If the father is late, who ever that is next in line of authority must give her away to the man. If this is not the case, then the man stole the woman.

BORNTOSUCKPUSSY:
appeal court only

Sir, the final appellate court for governorship tribunal is Supreme Court, not court of appeals. The constitution and judicial precedent is very clear on this.

President Jacob Zuma has torched a storm after he said South Africans battling to find jobs must MMM. Speaking at a fundraiser in Limpopo over the weekend, the president shocked attendees when he encouraged them to the embattled scheme.

“South Africans complain too much, there are many money making schemes that are making people rich everyday but you guys are waiting for me to come and give you a job. If you can not get a job, just MMM. My gardener and maid do MMM and they get more money than what I am paying them. I want to fire them so they can fully concentrate on MMM”, he said.

The entrance of Mavrodi Mondial Moneybox popularly known by its abbreviation, MMM, into the country sent South Africans into a frenzy as many ed the quick-money train. The company which was founded in Russia by Sergei Mavrodi, his brother Vyacheslav Mavrodi, and Olga Melnikova recorded a rapid growth but in 1994, it came crashing down as it was closed over tax evasion.



Described as the biggest Ponzi scheme in the 1990s, it was estimated that thousands of people lost up to $10 billion dollars. The scheme which has been banned in China has found its way to South Africa, Zimbabwe and recently Nigeria where it has attracted “investors” who put money into it and receive 30 per cent “profit” ant the end of the month.

Jacob Zuma’s utterances have been met with an outrage all over South Africa with many saying Zuma was out of line and should apologise.

Do you think it is okay for Jacob Zuma to this scheme?

(CNN) — At the end of this month, Hindus in India and around the globe will adorn their houses with lamps, share feasts and exchange gifts to celebrate Diwali, the festival of lights. For Hindus, light symbolizes the triumph of good over darkness, or of knowledge over ignorance. In many Hindu traditions, the sun -- our planet's source of light -- is a major source of energy and power; now, as the world seeks to address climate change, Diwali's celebration of light takes on a very contemporary significance.

United Nations (CNN) — For years, UN countries seeking to stop Russia from assisting the Assad regime militarily in Syria have been blocked by Moscow's veto power as a permanent UN Security Council member. But on Friday at the UN, opponents of Russia's punishing assaults in Syria achieved a small symbolic victory. Russia was defeated in its bid to be re-elected as a member of the UN's Human Rights Council, the most prestigious in the UN system designed to examine global human rights. But it was close. Russia lost to Croatia by just two votes, 114 to 112, with Hungary claiming the Eastern Europe region's other remaining seat. UN General Assembly voted in a secret balloting process that has no vetoes. The United States and United Kingdom also won seats on the rights . UN Watch, a UN watchdog group, said after the vote that "the non-election of Russia shows that the nations of the world can reject gross abs if they so choose." RELATED: Russian, US military planes in near miss over Syria Dozens of human rights groups had campaigned against Moscow's bid, citing the massive bombing assault on parts of Syria opposed to the government of its close ally, President Bashar al-Assad. An estimated 400,000 people have died in the Syrian conflict. Moscow's refusal to accept Security Council resolutions framed to seek the end of the war seemed to be a factor in Russia's failure to gain for the council seat from others in the UN. State Department spokesman Mark Toner, noting that he wasn't referring to Russia specifically said that "we continue to believe that UN member states should seek countries that have a strong human rights record to be a part of the council." Human Rights Watch's UN director, Louis Charbonneau said, after Hungary and Croatia beat out Russia in their regional contest, that the vote "also shows how important it is to have competitive slates in UN elections. Countries should have a chance to reject those whose candidacies are so severely compromised, as they did today." RELATED: US, Russia spar amid charges of war crimes in Syria It's rare for one of the five powerful permanent UN Security Council member nations to lose any UN election. However, the United States, too, experienced such defeat in 2001, when the US failed to win a seat on the UN Human Rights Commission, which the council later replaced. Human rights advocates, however, did lose their campaign to stop Saudi Arabia from being re- elected. The Mideast power has recently been accused of major human rights violations in its onslaught in neighboring Yemen. But it was nearly impossible for Saudi Arabia to lose, having already been selected as one of the four Asia-Pacific region countries to run for that region's four allocated slots. China and Cuba also won seats. UN Watch executive director Hillel Neuer said the re- election of Saudi Arabia, China and Cuba "casts a shadow upon the reputation of the United Nations."
