HOW THE OLYMPICS CAN REVITALIZE URBAN AREAS POST-GAMES
The Olympics, one of the most prestigious global events, has the potential to transform urban areas significantly. While much of the attention is on the games themselves, their legacy can leave a profound and lasting impact on host cities. Historically, some Olympic cities have faced challenges such as unused venues and financial losses after the games. However, with strategic planning and a vision for long-term growth, the Olympics can revitalize urban areas post-games, fostering economic development, social inclusion, and environmental sustainability.

THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF THE OLYMPICS AND THE GREEN MOVEMENT
The Olympic Games, one of the most prestigious sporting events in the world, have a profound environmental impact due to the vast infrastructure, high resource consumption, and large-scale transportation needs associated with the event. Over time, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and host cities have recognized the importance of reducing the environmental footprint of the Games. This has led to the integration of sustainability initiatives in the form of the "Green Movement," a series of efforts aimed at mitigating the environmental damage caused by the Olympics while promoting eco-friendly practices.

Introduction This is a Seven Days In post from February 2020 about a word I imagined and how Scrabble kept me on Facebook, and I suppose eventually that kept me on Vocal. It was getting a lot of reads although since then Seven Days In has had well over 1.3 million visits, although I suspect most of those will be from bots.

Legacy of Kain
1999 was possibly the most important year for gaming. Until then it was easy to dismiss video games as childish and simplistic. Something that people grew out of much like when they decide to put their toys down. But in 1999 two games were released that demanded attention. Metal Gear Solid: Solid Snake, broke onto the market and would fit right in with movies such as, Escape from L.A., Bladerunner and Universal Soldier. This was a mega Movie of a game with as much cinematic cut scenes as there was gameplay! I played that game so much that when I walked away from the console I could still see the radar in the top right of my vision. This is a beloved game and even though the series ended on something of a low note, it is easily one of the best games ever made.
