They carry public health messages, aiming to halt the spread of infectious diseases like syphilis and tuberculosis, and encouraging people to eat a good diet, exercise and seek advice on parenting techniques.
March 21 (Reuters) - The International Olympic Committee (IOC) should review plans to go ahead with the Tokyo Olympics during the coronavirus pandemic and ensure dialog with athletes, the Sport and Rights Alliance (SRA) and the World Players Association (WPA) said on Saturday.
Foster said the fact the sheik had been implicated "in some or any way" in the Bahraini government's crackdown on athletes in 2011-2012 and his silence on al-Araibi's situation should exclude him from seeking a third term.
Minky Worden, the director of global initiatives at Human Rights Watch which is part of the SRA coalition of global non-governmental organizations, said sports bodies had to be more transparent at this time.

"The virus is impacting the health, human rights, employment and careers of athletes but also the well-being of millions whose livelihoods are dependent on the sports industry and its supply chain," Worden said.
The IOC and Tokyo organizers have maintained that the July 24-Aug. 9 Games should go ahead as scheduled but WPA executive director Brendan Schwab said the IOC must consult more athletes before making decisions.

'In our fragmented body politic, it would take an extraordinary politician to do what is necessary.' But the New Deal programs stemmed from bold visions that could be implemented by political leaders, he cautioned.

In another case in November 2016, videos of which went viral, a leopard was battered to death with sticks by irate villagers when it strayed into Gurugram's Sohna district. In February this year, a leopard was burnt to death by locals in Gujarat's Gir-Somnath district.
But the nation would be far from impervious. The United States would be stronger with improved internet connectivity, more housing, government programs that can cushion a downturn and a health care system that can handle crises and emergencies.
