Perhaps the droid couple will go porg hunting while Reylo and Luke figure each other out.

For those who was afarid of Kylo not being important in TLJ: the debunk from his co-worker General Hux himself:

Domhnall Gleeson: "I don't think there was much out about [me] for the first one either. I'm not one of the bigger characters – Adam, Oscar, Daisy and John are up front and then it's a big line of people ahead of me on the call sheet, so I certainly don't take it personally. I think they know how to market Star Wars, so I'll leave them to it."

I think it's reasonable to expect that Kylo might not have as much screentime as the rest of the main characters, simply because he's on the opposite side and likely to stay there for the majority of the film. It doesn't mean that he's less important, but he simply will have less opportunity to interact with the good guys, who are most likely to interact primarily with the other good guys. We'll probably get scenes of Kylo with Snoke and Hux, and some scenes where he's alone, but there's only so much time they can spend on those. On the plus side, there's no single Kylo scene in TFA that's filler or unmemorable.

I agree with @Saracene here. Even if Kylo has a similar screentime like TFA, if his scenes are memorable as they were in TFA, I'd be a happy camper. It's not quantity but quality. The fact that FO is supposed to be in the background and Ressistance rightfully so more in the spotlight makes it all the more likely. Switching it from TFA.

I have a feeling with the way that Rian talks about the character and they way they have been promoted him, he will be front and center to the story line as much as Rey. If they are in a sense co protagonists, they will probably go back and forth.

Episode 9 will be where we see his and Rey's relationship come together. We're suppose to be seeing this film from her perspective anyways. The directors love Kylo's character so I imagine we'll be seeing lots of goodness then.

Interesting. TFA was largely about Kylo learning about Rey, pursuing her and trying to know her more. Now, Rey will spend quality time to learn about him, his past and what happened. If that spoiler about her trying to find him as opposed to him trying to find her. Truly Episode IX could bring this together.
@DarthRen wrote:
Exactly! So far we've only been given a glimpse of their relationship. We basically know he's redeemed in episode 8. There will be more for us to see since the directors have said that they will have a very interesting relationship moving forward. I'm very excited to see how 9 will pull it all together.
by SheLitAFire on Wed 20 Sep 2017, 9:23 am
I'm glad it doesn't seem like they're waiting until the last movie/last moment to redeem him. We don't need that kind of angst in our lives! And I agree, then there's many more openings and possibilities to work on his & Rey's character arcs & relationship in 9.
SheLitAFire
Lol right?! At least that's how I'm taking it for Episode 8. Based off of what Rian has hinted, "we've gotten a glimpse of scratches in Kylo's armor in TFA, now we will be ripping them open." Meaning something will happen to emotionally break him and set him off to turn against TFO. I just get this feeling that Rey will work with him and somehow their Force abilities/bond will be used to empower each other. I believe we'll get the full story of that bond in 9.

Pablo answered a tweet about this and said he thought it was Kylo. When challenged about Kylo's lack of hood/cowl in TLJ, he made a joke about Kylo having a nose and fingers (which the LEGO figures don't have). It seems more like it's a generic LEGO piece and not a spoiler for another villain in the movie, but who knows! I think the Twitter thread on it has been posted on the LEGO pictures/spoilers thread.

I guess it's possible, it's just that Kylo is the most obvious candidate. It is a LEGO set after all and who knows how accurate these things are or whether there will even be a scene like that in TLJ. For what it's worth, Pablo did answer another inquiry about it with an amusing, if no more enlightening, response https://twitter.com/pablohidalgo/status/910400548502990848

It also had a feeling that he was dodging the question. He could have just said "It's not Palpatine" or "It's Kylo". Saying he "assumed" it was Kylo isn't really confirming or denying anything, because his assumption could have been wrong. It could be anyone, lots of characters wear hoods in Star Wars, especially Jedi and Sith. Maybe it's Luke, he is wearing a hood in TLJ

@Forsythia
I agree. Saying he "assumed" it was Kylo is way of distancing himself from and not really answering the question.
I think it's possible that it's Luke. There has been enough messaging that something is up with Luke to make this not impossible.
I also think it could be Palpatine. The Emperor is a big deal in the new canon. There was an attempt to raise Palpatine from the dead in Empire's End. Ian McDiarmuid is an fit as fiddle and was around a lot at SWC. Rey being related to him is not off the table. (That actually could be a reason why she leaves with Snoke).
Also, what if "I'll finish what you started" is about taking out Palpatine? If Rey's related to him and Kylo is after him, there will be all kinds of angst.
Finally, sometimes there are things that slip through the cracks marketingwise. This isn't EBay. This is Wal-Mart.
I mean it definitely could be an error, but it's possible that it isn't.

It's a Generic Lego Hologram. Not a spoiler. It could stand in for virtually anyone. So the same one was Palaptaine's and now it's Kylo's.
by Darth Dingbat on Thu 21 Sep 2017, 1:32 am
Well, mistakes happen - I think it was Kohl's that called Kylo Darth Revan in a lot of TFA merchandise...
On the other hand, there's nothing in that hologram fig that particularly screams "Palpatine!" at first sight, so I'm not sure how that mistake would be made.
It may be Kylo. It may be somebody else. It might also be a holo recording of Palpatine, though. No way to tell.

People want it to be Palpatine cause they can't get enough of same old and then they whine about how derivative these movies are.

Halo everyone!
maybe it's bit of off-topic but I mast say:
I was reading last few pages and I'm soo agree with you about force's meaning and it's being one thing, not good/evil, like nature, and about liking complex characters, storylines, because it's more realistic. this is main reason why I like prequels and TFA much more than OT.
I'm so Raylo fan but it's not only about their chemistry and Adam's good acting, it's because this pairing and Kylo's character is complex, multilayered and deep, REAL...
and I like this fandome and you guys, this forum and all this community because I can see that you all think alike, see these things, like complexity and depth of the story, characters and relationships. you aren't like old school fans, just obsessed wilt OT and white/black things, you aren't seeing only surface

Some spoilers (or debunk of it) by Supreme Leader Snoke aka Andy Serkis.
https://www.list.co.uk/article/95810-andy-serkis-remembers-incredible-carrie-fisher/
Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz at the world premiere of 'Goodbye Christopher Robin' at London's Leicester Square on Wednesday night (20.09.17), Serkis said: "I had no scenes with Carrie but I did get to know her a little bit. She was an incredible human being with a wonderful personality and she's sadly, sadly missed and everyone who came into contact with her was really touched by her great energy and great sense of humour. She is a wonderful person and I did have a great time working with the cast and Adam Driver and Domhnall Gleeson, we've had some really great times on it."
Interesting wording: working with the cast and AD and DG.


Eight seconds of one of the nosiest, most excruciating howling feedback sound, is the beginning of a magnum opus, a masterpiece of musical composition, might I add. An album that manages to reflect it's images and name through very subdued, and harsh rhythmic patterns. Sound patterns that are difficult to grasp from the first listen, but are surely a spectacle form of music once you get used to it's hard synthesizer sounds, and heavy rock element.
The album itself is a drastic change from the band's previous work, as they're mostly famous for being one of the most notable Synth Pop bands in the world. It was an album that had to surpass the success of Violator, their previous album.
Depeche Mode's 7th Album, Violator. Released in 1990.
Violator is a spectacular record, one that managed to successfully get Depeche Mode into mainstream success all over the world, with tracks such as Personal Jesus, Policy of Truth, World in my eyes, and the very popular single, Enjoy the silence, the band has managed to set a landmark for their work, and be known solely for this album as their best work. A record with a spectacular track-list that caters for almost everyone's taste.
But i'm not here to talk about Violator. Instead, I want to talk about it's follow up, Songs of Faith and Devotion.
Depeche Mode always liked to experiment with different styles of music in order to express their artistic visions, but also always stuck to their roots of Synthpop. Almost all of their past records felt very programmed, with lots of separate sample sounds that played on specific beats. In a sense, they're like a single beat that keeps progressing with new synths or guitar sounds on a moving bar. It keeps on building up, till it reaches it's climax in a barrage of sounds. A great example of that is Never Let Me Down Again, and Behind The Wheel from their sixth album, Music For The Masses.
Depeche Mode's 6th album, MUSIC FOR THE MASSES. Released in 1987.
Songs of Faith and Devotion is more natural, it feels like actual performances with actual instruments, followed by hard and dark electronic synths. It has a more characteristic sound, an explicit one, followed by a very distinctive visual identity.
The band themselves have admitted more than once, that it was the hardest and longest record to make, because it was something very new and refreshing in the sense of how they used to record a new album, and at the same time, entering a new territory of music, as the album felt more like a goth-rock album, rather than a Synthpop one. A complete rethink of the Depeche Mode ethos.
The sheer amount of pressure on the band to make a record that would surpass Violator, is what lead them to make something totally new and fresh. Violator 2.0 wasn't the goal here, but catching up with the times, and making something proper for the current scene was. That lead to the making of a record that shared one single atmosphere, vision, identity, and sound, while maintaining a distinctive touch with every track. All of the songs had the vibe, a vibe that tied them all together. A more personal record, than a commercial one.
In this blog post, i'll only talk about six tracks from the album, ones that I think stand out as the most distinctive, but this by no means say anything about the other tracks. I personally believe this is a perfect album from start to finish, and everyone should give it a try.
Walking In My Shoes's soulful organ-like beginning gives a very Gothic but soothing sound, a straight sharp hook that catches your attention. It's not as harsh sounding as I feel you, then the drums and the heartbeat sounding bass kick in, giving a better insight on the tone of the track. It maintains this stable soulful sound as the vocals start, with lyrics that feels like talking about redemption and salvation, and within the backgrounds, you can hear nodes of hi-fi patterns. By the time the song reaches the bridge, you hear the sound of an additional loop. different from the one in the first verse, as the distorted guitar sound plays, which leads to the chorus that brings a complete different drum sound and rhythm, alongside great backup singing, and Gothic piano tones. The distorted wailing and guitar sound by the end of the song also gives a strong sense of an edgy tone that transitions seamlessly with the core tone of the song. It's strong, spectacular, engrossing, and often considered the best song in the album.
It's represented through the character on the video and it's art work, as an outcast, who'll keep on walking on his shoes, avoiding the judgments, and preferring being with someone of his kind.
Dancing away, as the outcasts they are.
Condemnation is the high point of vocal performance in the album, it's the Gahan's most angst ridden vocals. they're filled with pain, regret, and suffering. It sounds like a dark church hymn, with backup humming, slow motion unsteady piano sounds, and drums. It's the least diverse song I would say, alongside Judas, yet it manages to deliver a strong gospel like sound that engraves itself in your mind, especially with the repetitive humming at the end of the song.
The darkest of them all: In Your Room (Studio Version) kicks off with a dark and ominous bass drums, followed with a ghastly hymn, and a single distorted string of a guitar. "…Will you let the morning come soon?" Sings Gahan, as a choir sound appears, and the tempo changes, with a distorted guitar sound on each line that's sung. "Your favorite slave" He stretches, as a striking powerful synth sound vibrates from your speakers! creating an unimaginable atmosphere, alongside the potent and dirty drums that kicks in as the song truly starts. They stick together through the entirety of the song, building up the great chorus, and the most sensational crescendo.
Rush falls under the same area of I feel You, it's bombastic right from the beginning, with gritty drums, and dark bass synth. It doesn't take much time to build itself up, it immediately introduces the bashing vocals, alongside bizarre wailing sounds, on a consistent rate. The bridge brings back the distorted guitar sound, as it leads to the unexpected, yet extremely satisfying three-part chorus, and the dirty sounding synth after it. Half way through the track, it slows down heavily, with Gahan's voice sounding ghastly, and rested, it builds the tension, putting expectations on the sound of the heavy guitar, with the noisy feedback sound that leads to the once again bombastic synth of the after chorus and the drums. It keeps on going, till the song fades out.
Higher Love ends the album with a proper atmosphere swell, a very spiritual sound. It's the most electronic focused track in the album, complementing Violator by going for the electronic feeling, yet maintaining the same atmosphere of Songs of Fate and Devotion. It's a great farewell to such an amazing album, that follows the tonal narrative of the entire album.
Of course the other tracks in the album are also great, and each one also unique, like One Caress, which sounds like a ballad, sung by Martin Gore, instead of David Gahan.
After the record was released, the tour followed, and it's one of the most atmospheric world tours, with a stage designed specifically to go with the album's visual identity, and dark ominous lighting and setting. That is shown perfectly in the filmed performance of the tour by the name of "Devotional" where you can see the authenticity of how pure the performances are, and better sounding than the studio. It's filled with passion, celerity, and it's definitely worth watching. The video below shows the live performance of Walking In My Shoes.
In conclusion, Songs of Faith and Devotion is a spiritual album that is often misspoke of because of it's harsh and dark nature, and it's departure from previous works, but SOFAD is a unique record of dark driven music, with a distinctive style, and personality.
For those interested in the process of the album, and how difficult it was to make, you can watch it Here.
I totally agree with you! The amount of of work that has been put into Songs of Faith and Devotion just amazes me.

Controversial preacher James McConnell has vowed not to be silenced by the courts as he faces prosecution for calling Islam "satanic."
The firebrand Belfast pastor told the Belfast Telegraph he refused to accept a police warning about his anti-Islamic tirade because "they were trying to shut me up".
He is now due to be prosecuted for telling his congregation at the Whitewell Metropolitan Tabernacle in May last year that "Islam is heathen, Islam is satanic, Islam is a doctrine spawned in hell."
But the 78 year-old preacher insisted: "I'm not taking it lying down. I am not going to be gagged."
He added: "The police tried to shut me up and tell me what to preach. It's ridiculous. I believe in freedom of speech. I'm going to keep on preaching the Gospel.
"I have nothing against Muslims, I have never hated Muslims, I have never hated anyone. But I am against what Muslims believe. They have the right to say what they believe in and I have a right to say what I believe," Mr McConnell said.
He said that he received over 20,000 messages of support after his anti-Islamic sermon went viral.
"People are supporting me and my family is behind me. I have no criminal convictions and I've no idea how this is all going to end up but I'm not going to be silenced," he added.
Speaking to his congregation in north Belfast last year, Mr McConnell said "a new evil had arisen" and "there are cells of Muslims right throughout Britain".
Following an angry backlash over his remarks Mr McConnell said he had not intended to "arouse fear or stir up or incite hatred" towards any member of the Muslim community.
At the time he said his remarks were inspired by hearing the story of pregnant woman Meriam Yehya Ibrahim (26), who was sentenced to death in Sudan after refusing to recant her Christian beliefs.
The PSNI then investigated a possible hate crime in relation to the comments which sparked anger in the Muslim and wider community and which Pastor McConnell later apologised for.
There was a political storm when First Minister Peter Robinson backed Mr McConnell during the row and was heavily criticised for comments of his own but later visited Islamic leaders to apologise.
The Public Prosecution said Mr McConnell was offered an informed warning but he declined.
The offence which the preacher will be prosecuted for is "one of sending, or causing to be sent, by means of a public electronic communications network, a message or other matter that was grossly offensive".
A PPS spokeswoman said: "I can confirm that following consideration of a complaint in relation to an internet broadcast of a sermon in May 2014, a decision was taken to offer an individual an informed warning for an offence contrary to the Communications Act 2003.
In September Mr McConnell retired after 57 years of ministry. He began the church with just 10 members in a rented Orange hall in 1957.
Speaking at the time he said: "This past 18 months I have fought with myself what to do regarding my leadership in Whitewell, and now I feel the hour is come to completely hand over the reins to Pastor David Purse and all the pastors who assist him."

New York's e-cigarette ban throws URMC research into question
By Brett Dahlberg • Sep 26, 2019
As the number of deaths and injuries attributed to e-cigarettes continues to rise, a lab at the University of Rochester Medical Center is dissecting the devices -- but their ability to do that research is in question.
Irfan Rahman's laboratory sits at the end of a long hallway on the third floor of the University of Rochester's School of Medicine and Dentistry.
Inside, Rahman and a team of researchers take apart e-cigarettes. They analyze the liquids that the devices turn into inhalable vapors in an effort to figure out exactly what those vapors are made of.

The lab's work has taken on growing importance as the number of deaths and injuries attributed to e-cigarettes across the country continues to rise.
"We are the national leaders in this research," Rahman said. "We are doing work here that can save lives. These are very, very grave health problems."
But New York state's action to ban flavored e-cigarettes last week threw their ability to do that research into question.
The state's emergency regulations ban possession of flavored e-cigarette liquids, with no exemption for research.
URMC shares a $19 million federal grant with the Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center in Buffalo that funds the institutions' research into e-cigarettes. It's an emerging field that investigators said is designed around questions of how flavored tobacco products affect the body and mind.
The realization that the rules did not carve out an exception for researchers led the CEOs of Roswell Park and URMC to send a joint letter to Howard Zucker, the commissioner of the state health department, urging him to allow their research to continue.
"This is the first ever federally funded research to look at flavored tobacco in such a comprehensive and systematic way," the CEOs wrote. "The outcomes of these studies will have significant implications for public health nationally."
In the days after the CEOs sent their letter to the state health department, leaders from the research teams at Roswell Park and URMC met in Buffalo with representatives from federal agencies including the Food and Drug Administration, the National Institutes of Health, and the National Cancer Institute. The researchers outlined their concerns that New York's new regulations would cut off their ability to investigate e-cigarettes under their federal grant.
The conference was routine and scheduled prior to the state's ban on possessing e-cigarettes, but discussion about the ban and its lack of a research exemption was added to the agenda, according to attendees.
Irfan Rahman runs the URMC lab that investigates the health effects of flavored e-cigarette use.
The federal agencies were in a tough position, Rahman said, because they were funding research in New York that might have just been banned under the state's new rules.
Underscoring the confusion caused by the new regulations, a spokesperson for the National Cancer Institute said "we do not know at this time" how the rules will affect their research.
The New York state health department offered some clarification Wednesday when spokesperson Jill Montag wrote in an email to WXXI News that the regulations apply "to retailers, distributors and manufacturers, not to accredited research institutions," though neither the word "accredited" nor the phrase "research institutions" appears anywhere in the text of the rules.
"The health department is responsible for enforcing the ban," Montag said in a subsequent phone call, explaining that the department's interpretation of the regulation excludes research institutions from the ban.
Roswell Park spokesperson Annie Deck-Miller said researchers there expect the state will develop an exemption for possession of e-cigarette products used in research, and URMC communications chief Chip Partner said state officials "have made clear in unofficial communications that the ban is intended to restrict the commercial sale of flavored e-cigarettes, not scientific studies or other research."
But Rahman said he has yet to receive any official guidance from the state.
"That makes it hard," he said. "I don't know what we are going to do."

The confusion has also led to researchers stocking up on e-cigarette products while they are still available to the public.
Rahman shops local for his lab. He buys flavored e-cigarette liquids from retailers in and around Rochester to break them down and examine their toxicity.
If the exemption does not come through, Rahman said, he may not be able to buy the products that he needs for his research, and he may have to surrender what he already has. So earlier this week, after work, Rahman drove to a half-dozen vape shops in Monroe County to buy whatever they had in stock.
"It's constantly changing," Rahman said. "This is a very quickly moving field. We need to stay up-to-date."
Youth use of e-cigarettes has reached "epidemic" proportions nationally, according to the FDA. It's risen 160% in New York state over the last five years, the health department said.
A Monroe County survey of public school students found 45% of high school seniors said they'd used vape products. Nearly a third said they'd used them in the last month.
At least eight people nationwide have died of illnesses or lung injuries that federal authorities have connected to vaping, with hundreds falling ill over the past months. Investigators are still trying to figure out exactly what is causing the deaths, but they suspect illicit marijuana-laced products, not flavored e-cigarettes.
Still, researchers that WXXI News spoke with don't believe that flavored e-cigarettes are safe. But they do say they might not be as lethal as conventional cigarettes or the black-market e-cigarettes that they have linked to the hospitalizations of dozens of people in western and central New York.
The state's regulations "have the unintended consequence of cutting off necessary materials" to research e-cigarettes at a time when that research "is more important than ever," the CEOs of Roswell Park and URMC wrote in their letter to the state health department.

Youth use of e-cigarettes reaches 'epidemic' proportions
Youth use of electronic cigarettes has come under increased scrutiny as federal health authorities and local officials respond to a growing number of deaths and hospitalizations blamed on the devices.
Health advisory urges caution with e-cigarettes
By Brett Dahlberg • Sep 3, 2019
U.S. Surgeon General
A health advisory from the federal Centers for Disease Control has linked e-cigarettes to severe respiratory problems, though the agency said the exact cause is still unclear.
The CDC urged people to avoid using e-cigarette products bought from unlicensed sellers, citing health effects that researchers at the University of Rochester Medical Center said reflect a poorly regulated industry.

The University of Rochester Medical Center has received a multi-million dollar federal grant to fund new research into e-cigarettes.
There's a public impression that e-cigarettes are a safe alternative to conventional smoking, the university said, but precious little research has corroborated that idea.
Campaign against flavored tobacco launches downstate, signals statewide effort
By Brett Dahlberg • Apr 18, 2019
wbfo.org
A new effort aimed at reducing minors' use of flavored tobacco products downstate could also be expanding to the Rochester area and across New York.
The Flavors Hook Kids campaign is part of an effort to inform young people that flavored tobacco products are addictive and can hurt their health.
The effort to ban those products in New York City officially launched Wednesday, but the American Cancer Society's Cancer Action Network has also begun a push in Albany to ban those products statewide.
FDA launches crackdown on e-cigarette retailers
The Food and Drug Administration is cracking down on electronic cigarette retailers. WXXI's Brett Dahlberg reports on the effort to keep E-cigarettes out of the hands of minors.
Federal officials called it a blitz — "the largest coordinated enforcement effort in the FDA's history" in response to concerns that e-cigarette use has become an "epidemic" among youths.
After a nationwide undercover operation aimed at identifying stores selling e-cigarettes to people under 18 years old, the agency sent more than 1,300 fines and warning letters to businesses that it said violated the rules.
Eight of those letters went to businesses in New York state: two in Buffalo; one in Getzville in Erie County; two on Long Island; one in Rockland County; and two in New York City.

As it does every single time a big sporting event rolls into town, The Dallas Morning News took the time Friday morning to run an estimate of that event's economic impact on the region. According to the paper, Monday night's College Football Playoff championship game between Oregon and Ohio State will "create a $308.6 million ripple in the economy."
At best, that number is dubious. Calculations like the one used by the Morning News fail to account for the substitution effect -- that many of the hotel rooms booked for the game would be booked even if it wasn't here, for example -- and the fact that every dollar spent will not stay in the region. As Dave Berri, former president of the North American Association of Sports Economists, points out in the article, money spent on tickets won't stay here, nor will the money spent at national chains.
In a post by Neil deMause for the website SportsOnEarth, Holy Cross professor Victor Matheson, who's studied the economic impact of Super Bowls on host cities, pegs the biggest of all one-off U.S. sporting events as, at best, creating $120 million of economic activity for the host city. That activity, Matheson said, has little effect on the local economy.
"Imagine an airplane landing at an airport and everyone gets out and gives each other a million bucks, then gets back on the plane. That's $200 million in economic activity, but it's not any benefit to the local economy," he said.
Berri is even less charitable.
"Sports do not generate economic growth; they don't really generate jobs," he says. "There's a reason why an event doesn't do that. If you think about hosting a major event in a town, you bring in these tourists who come in. The problem is, when they show up, a whole bunch of other people who were probably going to be spending money that weekend or that day, they're not going to come that day. There's going to be a ton of traffic and they're all going to stay home."
When actual research has been done, when people have looked at GDP and job numbers in a city after the event, Berri says, the measured effect is either very small or non-existent.
"People who argue for these events claim impacts that just don't show up in the data," he says. "The people who make the claims that there are huge impacts never come back after the event and do another study to see whether what they projected actually turned out to be true."
The Cotton Bowl's economic impact is projected by its organizers to be $30 million. The championship game is a college football game being held at the same stadium less than two weeks later and, sure, it has things like the fan fest at the convention center and a series of concerts, but it's hard to imagine it generating 10 times the revenue of a similarly attended game at the same location. Grand as it may be, Jerryworld still only holds a finite amount of people.
Taking things a step farther, $300 million, in the grand scheme of things, just doesn't mean much to an economy as big as DFW's. 2014 data from the Census Bureau estimates the region's GDP at over $447 billion. That means that even if you accept the most grandiose projections, the championship game would give the area's economy a .067 percent bump.
"I think that's something that's missed in all of these discussions," Berri says. "Even if you are accurate, which you're not, people never have any idea how big their local economy is. People have no idea how incredibly wealthy their economy is, if you tell people $300 million they think, 'Wow, if I had $300 million that'd be pretty cool."
Because the projections are made without context and accountability, entities that want the events in a given city can say whatever they wish, Berri says.
"Nobody's going to check on this, so make up any number you'd like, I guess. No one is going to check on whether it's true or not, so what difference does it make? As long as you're making up stuff, why don't you go for the whole gusto, say it's $800 billion? As long as we're making up stuff, let's go all-in. We're living in fantasy land anyway," he says.
Berri hosts a meeting each summer for sports economists from around the country to gather and present papers. Each year, he says, the question about the impact of big events comes up. Every year, the same answer is given.
"The story is identical every time it's presented: There's no impact. We feel like saying, 'Can we just say there is no impact and go to lunch?'" he says.

The Newtown and Chilwell Cricket Club is one of the oldest cricket clubs within the Geelong region and boasts a proud history with the club's origins tracing back to the 1880s. Formal GCA records show the Newtown and Chilwell Club participated in the Association for three years from 1910/11 and later as the Newtown and Chilwell Turf Cricket Club in the reformation of turf cricket in 1928/29.
After many years running parallel with the Newtown (Senior Matting) Cricket Club the two clubs decided to amalgamate in 1948 when the club took on its present shape in the Geelong Cricket Association.
Since that time the club has developed a reputation as a successful and well administered sporting body. The on field success of the club over the sixty years is indicated by the consistent performances of club teams at all levels over that period of time.
A total of 55 senior (including 20 District Firsts) and 33 junior premierships have been won by the club since 1928. The club has consistently performed well in the Club Championship winning that award eight times.
The Newtown and Chilwell Cricket Club has been a standard setter in a number of ways for other Geelong clubs, particularly in terms of coaching personnel, administration, fundraising and junior development programs.
In terms of administration the club has been most fortunate to be served by some of the most able cricket administrators in the Geelong region, many of whom were also able to take leading positions of responsibility with the Geelong Cricket Association throughout its history and indeed over recent years with admission of the Geelong Cricket Club to Victorian Premier Cricket ranks. The club has taken great pride in its ongoing commitment to the administration and promotion of cricket within the region and beyond and prides itself on producing a host of high performing administrators who have held positions at both the national and state level.
The club is a successful, energetic and growing club which provides a valuable service to the surrounding area. It sets a high standard for itself and its members and strives for excellence in all respects.
To date the club has produced six first class players including former Australian Captain and member of the 1948 invincibles Lindsay Hasset and Australian and Victorian opening batsman Ian Redpath. The Newtown and Chilwell Cricket Club has also produced three Australian representatives at the Under 19 level including International Cricket Council Development Programmes Manager (Asia/Pacific) Tim Anderson, who captained the Australian side.
Our Prestigious Sponsors
The Newtown and Chilwell Cricket Club was established in 1910 & currently consists of six (6) Senior, eleven (11) Junior teams, an additional eighty (80) participants in our Milo Have-A-Go Program and functions strictly within the parameters of Federal, State and Local Government legislation and our own internal policies and programs.

Meet The 93-YO Legendary Sculptor Who Is The Creator Of The Statue Of Unity
Posted by Rakshanda Chandole June 2, 2020 2 Min Read
India has just celebrated the achievement of building the tallest statue in the world. The Statue of Unity of one of the greatest freedom fighter of the country, Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel. The statue is also to honor India's independence. The 182 meters long statue is said to be equal or more than twice of the statue of liberty. The man behind this accomplishment is the 93-years-old legendary sculptor Ram Vanji Sutar.
Ram Vanji Sutar's life is truly dedicated to illustrating the sculptors. This artist is serving India as a sculptor for 70 years. He has given India about 8,000 sculptures including the statue of Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel. The statue of unity is situated at the Narmada district of Gujarat. It is situated in Sadhu bet near the Sardar Sarovar Dam.
The Legendary Sculptor has received the Padma Bhushan award and also the Padma Shri Award which is considered as the greatest honor of India. By the Union Ministry Of Culture, the Sutar has been nominated for the Tagore Award in the year 2016 which is also one of the greatest honor offered by India.

Blunder at COVID lab is linked to deaths of 20 people, investigators say
Twenty patients may have died due to a blunder with PCR tests at a scandal-hit Covid lab, health chiefs ruled today.
Errors at Immensa's Wolverhampton site meant around 39,000 positive PCR swabs were wrongly logged as negative.
As a result, thousands did not self-isolate as they were under the false impression they could carry on as usual — even though they were potentially infectious.
UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) chiefs have now estimated the mistakes, which occurred in the autumn of 2021, led to about 55,000 extra Covid cases.

Employees at Immensa Health Clinic in Wolverhampton were filmed fighting with each other (pictured) in January 2021. This was at the height of the first wave of Covid and when the country was in strict lockdown
They estimated that each person who received a false negative went on to infect another two other people on average.
But some would have taken measures to reduce their chance of spreading Covid, even though they were not told to self-isolate.
Researchers also estimated there were about 680 additional hospital admissions 'that may not otherwise have occurred'.
'Similarly, we estimate that there may have been just over 20 additional deaths in these most affected areas,' they added.
Immensa was awarded a £119million contract in October 2020 to urgently 'develop volume for PCR testing for Covid'.
It was not put out to tender under rules allowing urgent responses to the pandemic, meaning other companies did not have a chance to bid.
One of the most enduring Covid conspiracy theories is that the 'gold standard' PCR tests were picking up people who were not actually infected (stock photo)

Q&A: Everything you need to know about Immensa Health Clinic
How many people were affected by the blunder?
As a result, thousands continued with their daily lives and didn't self-isolate — even though they were potentially infectious.
Immensa missed Covid cases between September 2 and October 12, 2021. Affected patients — all of whom were contacted at the time — mostly lived in the South West.
What were the knock-on effects?
UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) chiefs have estimated the mistakes, which occurred in the autumn of 2021, led to about 55,000 extra cases.
Some would have taken measures to reduce their chance of spreading Covid, even though they weren't told to self-isolate.
The site mainly processes PCR swabs from centres in the South West, but also checks tests from other parts of the country.
What caused the testing error?
An investigation into the blunder concluded the error occurred because staff set the threshold levels for reporting positive and negative results incorrectly.
PCRs detect tiny fragments of Covid genes, known as RNA, in samples taken from the nose and throat.
There is such a tiny amount of RNA on the swabs that it has to be amplified in a machine before it can be detected.
This is done by repeating a cycle of heating and cooling, which encourages the genetic material to make copies of itself.
If someone tests positive at a low cycle threshold they are likely to have a lot of viral fragments present in their sample – because it doesn't have to be amplified too many times to be detected – and very likely infectious.
The reverse is also true – a high cycle threshold can mean a positive result even if very little virus is present in the original sample.
Another £50million was awarded to Immensa by the Government for additional PCR testing last summer.
The company, owned by Harvard University-educated Andrea Riposati, was only set up in May 2020, months before it was awarded the first deal by the then health secretary Matt Hancock.
Covid testers at the site were filmed fighting, playing football, sleeping and throwing snowballs in January, while the country was frozen under lockdown.
NHS Test and Trace, the body in charge of Britain's Covid swabbing programme, suspended testing operations provided by Immensa at its lab in Wolverhampton in October 2021 following reports of inaccurate results.
An investigation into the blunder concluded the error at the lab occurred because staff set the threshold levels for reporting positive and negative results incorrectly.
If someone tests positive at a low cycle threshold, they are likely to have a lot of viral fragments present in their sample, because it doesn't have to be amplified too many times to be detected. This means they are very likely infectious.
The reverse is also true, with a high cycle threshold often meaning a positive result, even if very little virus is present in the original sample.
Richard Gleave, UKHSA director and lead investigator, said: 'Through [our] investigation we have looked carefully at the arrangements in place for overseeing contracts of private labs providing surge testing during this time.
'We have concluded that staff errors within Immensa's Wolverhampton laboratory were the immediate cause of the incorrect reporting of Covid PCR test results in September and October 2021.
'It is our view that there was no single action that NHS Test and Trace could have taken differently to prevent this error arising in the private laboratory.
'However, our report sets out clear recommendations to both reduce the risk of incidents like this happening again and ensure that concerns are addressed and investigated rapidly.'
Most of the affected patients — all of whom were contacted at the time of the missed results — lived in the South West.
Top experts warned the testing error, which was initially blamed on 'technical issues', came at the worst possible time.
Daily cases were approaching peak second-wave levels and the booster programme was struggling to get going ahead of a harsh winter.
Jenny Harries, UKHSA chief executive, said: 'UKHSA is committed to being a transparent, learning organisation and this means investigating where things have gone wrong and working out how things can be improved.
'I fully accept the findings and recommendations made in this report, many of which were implemented as soon as UKHSA discovered the incident.
'These ongoing improvements will enhance our ability to spot problems sooner where they do arise.
'We are particularly keen to further improve how we work with local partners and directors of public health as rapid incidents like this unfold.'

I'm headed home from work on Friday afternoon. Took off an hour early because vacation starts officially on Monday but as far as I'm concerned it started when the door closed behind me just now and I step into the sunshine of the enormous parking lot of the jet base.
I'm eager to get home. The camper is cleaned up, stocked and ready. Food, clothes, cameras, ice chests... everything is ready and we don't even leave until Sunday about 8 a.m. Saturday will be a rest day. A last minute trip to the grocery store for some perishable things and not much else. A good nights sleep and away we go.
This is going to be a good trip. I'm even looking forward to the 4 hour drive.
Then I get a call from my daughter. "Not to scare you or anything but I'm over at the emergency room with Mom. She's gonna be OK but..."
My daughter works at the hospital so I have easy access to the back side of ER operations. We are waiting for x-rays of Sweet Wife's hands. She has fallen in her garden, one finger on the right hand popped out of joint but has righted itself, and is now on ice. There is some swelling.
There is some swelling and bruising on the left hand, too. Probably going to ice that, too, and we'll be out of here. Rest up Saturday and Sunday we'll be out of here.
Until the resident comes in with the x-rays. The metacarpal bone for the left hand "pinky" finger is snapped in half, the fracture extending from one end to the other, running diagonally down the middle.
The resident says he's going to put a splint on that, when the swelling has subsided the orthopedist will put a real cast on it in a few days. That is, in the middle of our trip. I haven't mentioned Sweet Wife is a musician, highly accomplished on violin and flute. This is rapidly getting to be a very big and very gone sideways deal.
So for the rest of Friday and a good bit of Saturday morning we are adjusting to the idea of me as nurse and her having one useless hand and one that's sort of marginal. She can't open her pill bottle. (Good pills, though) After some discussion, we agree a trip is doable... but not likely to be any fun. No bike rides, no swimming, no guitar and I'm doing all the work plus nurse duty.
So I call the park and cancel our 5 nights. Unloading the trailer can wait until Monday.
And that's about the shortest trip we've ever not been on.
Best wishes and prayers for her successful healing.
So between nursing duties, cooking meals, house work and looking after the chickens, I did manage to finish the deck project.
I was really glad to get back to work this morning.
