Hi, Flavio Bessa!   
   I read your message from  05.09.2016 19:40   
   about Prepositions...  1..   
      
    FB>>> That's right! ;) Now that the Games are over, we can resume our   
    FB>>> discussions. :)   
      
    ak>> I hope after games Brazil will do better than Greece after the   
    ak>> similar event. Although, let me see Brazil's debt...   
    ak>> http://www.nationaldebtclocks.org/debtclock/brazil   
      
    ak>> Oh, dear me! Is it 710 billion dollars indeed?   
      
    FB> In a few calculation exercises, it could reach the 1 trillion   
    FB> barrier. :)   
      
   I hope the horse will bump against this barrier and fall. ;-)   
      
    FB> When it comes to legacy, a good part of the Olympic venues were   
    FB> temporary in nature and will be disassembled and moved to other   
    FB> areas. Some will turn into public schools in other cities, the   
    FB> pools will be reassembled in poor areas and will serve schools and   
    FB> the local communities.   
      
   Of course it would be good if the games will bring something to the common   
   people. Although, IMHO, the professional sport is a perversion for a human,   
   and all those monstrous buildings are useless for the common people. It will   
   be better to build small playgrounds near every house, and make bicycle paths   
   everywhere around the city. In my town, for instance, the town's crazy   
   authority had spent a lot of money to make high edges of pavement on all the   
   roads and streets. When I go on my bike in my small town now I really run   
   risks because I can't turn off the road when big trucks go by.   
      
    FB> The remaining venues of the Olympic part will be managed by a   
    FB> private entity. A few of the arenas will be used for concerts,   
    FB> basketball matches and also as a training center for new athletes.   
    FB> At the end of the day, I believe that, as a legacy, it will be   
    FB> fine.   
      
   I hope it will.   
      
    FB> Big issue, as you pointed out, will be the debt. We spent a huge   
    FB> amount of money building useless stadiums for the World Cup and for   
    FB> all the Olympic works, and this contributed heavily for the debt   
    FB> increase.   
      
   We have the same in Russia. Putin has ordered to build huge football stadiums   
   for the football world cap in 2018. We could easily fly on Mars instead. ;-)   
   But the crowd want bread and circuses.   
      
   Bye, Flavio!
