In every generation, there is a Chosen TV show. It alone will stand against the critics, the flagging ratings, and the trappings of cliché. It is–BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER.
It sounds melodramatic. That's because it is.
But that doesn't mean it isn't true. 20 years ago, Joss Whedon's BUFFY changed the TV medium forever, a genre-bending supernatural dramedy of such innovation, such excellence, that it basically single-handedly ushered in the golden age of television that we're currently spoiled by today.
Can you tell I'm a fangirl?
Anyway, because the gods are good and ultimately nostalgic, almost the entirety of the Buffy cast got together for a big 'ol reunion, complete with a group interview and Entertainment Weekly cover spread.
The gang is literally all here, sans Giles (who had a conflict with a play he's starring in in England) and Faith (whose absence is as mysterious as her signature smoky eye), and they all have aged like fine, fine rosés–with the exception of Charisma Carpenter, who somehow looks even younger than she did in 2005. Clearly, she's a witch.
During their interview with Entertainment Weekly, the cast ran the gamut of usual reunion reminisces and discussions of Buffy's cultural significance–and potential TV future. Here are some highlights.
On Buffy's emotional impact
David Boreanez (Angel): "When you're going through a really horrible part of your life, like your teenage years, you feel alone. And Buffy was a way to tell the audience you're not alone."
Emma Caulfield (Anya): "It just touched on really basic human emotions, like a life blueprint. 'I don't have any friends. I feel isolated.' Those sort of core human emotions."
On its legacy
Sarah Michelle Geller (Buffy): "I'm so incredibly proud of what we all created. Sometimes you need distance to really understand the gravitas of that. I appreciate everything about that job. As an actor, all you ever want to do is leave your mark — you want to do something that affects people."
As for the show's potential future, while SMG expressed concern that a reboot might be impossible to live up to expectations, Joss and others in the cast seemed optimistic about its potential for Gilmore Girls-style glimpse into Buffy's present-day.
And now we bear witness to the fruits of their photoshoot.

Thanks a lot, Jean. If I see a crowd coming for me in the morning, I'll know who they are and start running,
Several Aprils ago, I too offered poetry to my library book club, Billy Collins no less, King of Accessibility. They all showed up and were exceptionally polite, choosing their favourites, suffering in quiet through my explanations of lineation and metaphor. But now, around February, they start making little jokes about the year that I force fed them poetry. Never again is clearly understood.
Better luck with Hooked.

When the general question of 'What beauty bits should one pick up when in the US?' is thrown out there, there's a high chance that a large percentage of the replies will contain 'Tarte'. To us on the other side of the pond it's a brand that's sorta come from nowhere. Being currently unstocked in the UK, it seems they produced a kick-ass blush line (the Amazonian Clay 12 Hour Blush, just incase you've been sleeping under a rock- the shade Tipsy goes down as my favourite blush shade, ever) and have been on the up since. Their foundations, concealers, bronzers and the rest always seem to crop up in a positive light and I've been itching to get my mitts on some more bits. So today I've rustled up four speed reviews on my newest Tarte purchases…
Tarte Amazonian Clay Waterproof Cream Eyeshadow in Shimmering Bronze & Slate – for a smudgeproof wash of colour that sticks around. Turns out I'm a bit of a sucker for anything in the Amazonian Clay range cause these are bloomin' lovely too. A little hard to extract from the tiny pots with your finger, but once you've got a good amount on your digit and blended it over the lid these things do not budge. Like, seriously. Slate is a little like L'Oreal Colour Infallible Eyeshadow in Bronzed Taupe which is topping my current makeup charts at the moment, but in cream form and Shimmering Bronze is very much like MAC's limited edition and ridiculously hard to find Eclair but with a little less of a metallic finish. I like.
Tarte Lights, Camera, Splashes Waterproof Mascara – I promise I didn't buy this for the name. Promise. You know me – I'm always on the look out for a new waterproof formulation with the L'Oreal Telescopic Waterproof Mascara sized hole in my heart, so with a bit of a Tarte theme going on I thought I'd give it a go. It's a good'un: no panda eye tendencies, a nice fluffy brush that coats every single darn lash and a texture that's dry so holds a curl really well. Better than my current favourite MaxFactor False Lash Effect? I'll have to report back on that one.
Tarte Maracuja Creaseless Concealer in Light – purchased for baggy eyed 'please can I go back to sleep now?' days. One of my favourite US purchases. The colour match is spot on and a tiny rice sized dollop patted under the eyes waves goodbye to any signs of a bad nights sleep. It reminds me most in texture and finish of Make Up For Ever's Full Cover Concealer – yet this has a little more dew and emolliance to it, making it the perfect under eye fodder. But don't go too crazy with the amount or things can get a little creasy despite its name; less is more.
Tarte Amazonian Clay BB Illuminating Moisturiser – bought on the recommendation of a lovely reader and Tarte Beauty Advisor who spotted me in Sephora (surprise, surprise), Victoria – thank you! It's a one-shade-fits-all jobbie that actually packs quite a punch coverage wise. In fact paired with the Creaseless Concealer, they make a pretty good team. It's illuminating, yet not shimmery and is strong enough to hold the base fort down alone on good skin days. I think I'll be getting a fair bit of use out of this to eke a bit of summer glow into autumn.
A few to add to your shopping list should you find yourself in the presence of a stockist anytime soon perhaps? But until next time I'm fully Tarte-d out.

9500 Software Compatiability
Not all Nokia 9210 software is compatiable with the 9500.
If you're looking for 9500 software you can try the specific 9500 versions first. Epocware (www.epocware.com), Symbianware (www.symbianware.com) and Psiloc (www.psiloc.com) already have some available.

Redshift have stated that their redshift commander will become available in December...
Extended recorder seems to have problems: if you record, it doesn't memorize nothing...
The developer of the PIM app AGENDUS (http://www.iambic.com) says that porting to the 9500 will depend on user demand. Please write them a letter so they'll know that there are a lot of 9500 users out here. Thanks.

School funding deal fails to deliver
Despite the effusive welcoming by employer organisations, the school funding announcement made by the federal government (Thursday, 20 September) still fails to deliver.
The model does not deliver the promise that this government made when it sought election in 2013.
It has not upheld the principles, commitments or necessary measures that were established, and committed to by the federal government, arising from the Gonski panel funding review.
Most schools, government and non-government are not and will not get the monies promised in 2018 and 2019. The commitment to the student resources standard will not be met.
The announcement locks in unreasonable and irresponsible limits on teacher and staff salaries and conditions for at least the next five years and, likely for the next 10 years. All at the very time government should be doing everything it can to attract and retain quality staff.
The model locks in hopelessly inadequate funding for students with disabilities whose learning needs are still not properly measured and resourced.
The model means more students with disabilities getting less. This is a matter of national shame.
The federal government's inclusion of the $1.2 billion dollar "choice and affordability" fund – aimed at helping keep fees low especially for regional and remote schools as well we those affected by drought – will also require serious accountability measures to ensure taxpayers' money is being spent on this very purpose.
Overall the federal government's announcement largely only adjusts the transition process and timeframe – a transition to an unfair, inadequate and dishonest school funding outcome.

Bypass the Eleven Sports Region Error on iPhone or iPad
So you signed up to Eleven sports and made a new iTunes account in Taiwan. You followed
my guide on How to Watch Eleven Sports Outside Taiwan and you basque in the delight of your new found knowledge.
You got your shiny new Eleven Sports app, started up your VPN and FAIL the "this content is not available in your region" error pops up!
I know how you feel. Lets skip straight to it, you want to know how to bypass the Eleven Sports iPhone error or the Eleven sports iPad error.
Why wont Eleven sports app work on iPhone or iPad
There is a two factor type of regional protection on the Eleven Sports iPhone or Ipad app this is to stop you trying to bypass the Eleven sports region lock
- the eleven sport app checks to see where you are in the world based on your IP address. Your VPN is sufficient enough to get around this
- the eleven sports app also checks what region your phone is in.
How to change the region on your iPhone or iPad
As with most things on the iPhone or iPad. Start in the Settings Menus and navigate to general (Settings > General)
Next, go to Language and Region and select Region from the sub menu (Language & Region > Region)
From here you can select Taiwan, don't worry your phone language is independent of the regional setting so it will stay in your native language, in my case my region is set to taiwan and the language is set to English.
Your phone will now reboot and the apple logo will pop up. Once complete your region is changed.
Pro Tip Bonus For Best Quality Streaming of Eleven Sports on iPhone or iPad
The BEST thing about Eleven Sports is that only access to the content is behind a regional lock, but the content itself is not. So, follow this tip for the best possible streaming experience with Eleven Sports on your iPad or iPhone.
- Connect your VPN to Taiwan (don't worry about how fast the connection is as it does not matter as long as you can connect
- Once your phones region is set to taiwan, start the eleven sports app
- Once the app is open and you can see the list of content DISCONNECT the VPN
You read that last part right. Once you have connected to the app and can see the content menu you no longer need the VPN. This means that anything you stream will be as fast as it is served from Eleven Sports or as fast as your ISP bandwidth whichever is lower.

Will I Lose My Life Insurance Policy If I File for Bankruptcy?
With a life insurance policy, in return for your payments, your insurance company will provide your beneficiaries with a death benefit in the event of your passing. As of 2013, about 62% of Americans report having a life insurance policy. But what happens if you run into serious financial hardship? If you file for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy, will you lose your life insurance benefits to creditors? Our Princeton bankruptcy lawyers explain.
Are Life Insurance Proceeds Exempt in Bankruptcy?
Bankruptcy divides debtors' assets and possessions into two broad categories: those which are exempt, and those which are non-exempt. Exempt items enjoy partial to full protection from creditors, with the extent of protection depending on where you are located and which set of exemptions you elect to use. In contrast, non-exempt items are not exempt from the bankruptcy estate, and therefore may be pursued by creditors to help satisfy your debt obligations.
As mentioned above, exemptions can vary dramatically depending on where you live. Some exemptions which exist in one state do not even exist in other states. New Jersey and Pennsylvania debtors may choose between using the exemptions which correspond to their state, and the nationwide federal exemptions. (However, you must remember that you have to stick with the exemption system you elect to follow: you cannot simply pick and choose the most favorable exemptions from different systems.)
The current life insurance bankruptcy exemptions are as follows:
- Pennsylvania — Proceeds from life insurance may be exempted if the beneficiary is the decedent's child, spouse, or a dependent relative.
- New Jersey — Proceeds from life insurance are exempt if the policy expressly prohibits proceeds from being used to satisfy the beneficiary's creditors. Additionally, proceeds which go toward individuals other than the insured person are exempt from the creditors of both the beneficiary and the insured person. You can also exempt proceeds related to disability provisions in your policy.
- Federal — Life insurance proceeds can be exempted if they have not matured, with the exception of credit life insurance (i.e. a policy which is meant to pay the borrower's debts in the event of death). Furthermore, under the federal personal property exemptions, you can exempt up to $12,250 in the loan value of your policy.
It's also important to talk about the 180-day rule which applies to Chapter 7 bankruptcy cases. If you inherit life insurance within 180 days of filing for bankruptcy, that inheritance will be folded into the bankruptcy estate, and anything which is non-exempt may be vulnerable to the trustee and your creditors. However, if you do not inherit insurance until after 180 days have already passed from the time of your filing, the insurance proceeds will not be added to the bankruptcy estate.
You Must List Your Assets — Even if They're Exempt
Whether you have a term life policy or a whole life policy is another important point of consideration. When you file for bankruptcy, you have to list all of your assets. In fact, if you are caught attempting to conceal assets in an attempt to hide them from your creditors, your case may be dismissed — not to mention the fact that you could find yourself being charged with fraud.
Despite the aforementioned life insurance exemptions, if you fail to list the CSV (Cash Surrender Value) of your whole life policy, it may be taken and distributed by the trustee assigned to handle your case. While term life policies do not have a CSV like whole life policies, proceeds could also be claimed by the trustee if you were to pass away after the completion of your bankruptcy case and you failed to list your policy.
The bottom line is that, even if you are confident the proceeds of your policy would be exempt from the bankruptcy estate, your assets must still be properly disclosed and documented — or else you risk losing more than you have to. When the time comes to list your assets, insurance should be documented on "Schedule B," which is used for personal property. In the "Type of Property" column, you will see insurance noted at entry number nine ("Interests in insurance policies"). Filers are instructed to "Name insurance company of each policy and itemize surrender or refund value of each."
Pennsylvania Bankruptcy Lawyers Offering Free Consultations
The relationship between insurance and bankruptcy is very complex, and filling out bankruptcy schedules correctly can be difficult, so it's important to talk about your questions and concerns with experienced legal representation. To set up a free and confidential case evaluation with our bankruptcy attorneys, call Young, Marr & Associates at (609) 755-3115 in New Jersey or (215) 701-6519 in Pennsylvania today.
Have You:
☑ Been paying credit card balances that seem to never go down?
☑ Lost your job and are now having trouble keeping up?
☑ Attempted to work out a payment arrangement to no avail?
☑ Been notified of a mortgage foreclosure action?
☑ Been denied for a mortgage or other line of credit?
If the answer to any of these questions is "yes" then bankruptcy may be an option that you should consider.

- "Many of our best cells are hidden in oceans and on largely aquatic planets, and their security is integral to our victory in the Galactic Civil War."
- ―Commander Anson Blazer, Alliance to Restore the Republic.
Lieutenant Commander Anson Blazer was a Corellian agent of Alliance Intelligence, the secret service of the Alliance to Restore the Republic. He operated in the Inner Rim and through the Corellian Trade Spine, opposing the Galactic Empire. He also joined the Shadow Squadron, a Rebel infiltration unit. During a stealth operation in the Xorao system, they were identified by Kiran Tatch, who opposed to the Alliance's goals.
In 2 ABY, Blazer, as a member of the Rebel Alliance Task Force, wrote several intelligence reports of threats to the Alliance. Later, he was again identified by enemy agents, this time while on a leave on Ord Mantell, and he joined a firefight against Imperial soldiers to try to escape.
Biography[edit | edit source]
A Human male from Corellia, he joined the Rebel Alliance around 2 BBY. He worked as Intelligence agent in the Inner Rim planets and in operations throughout the galaxy, obtaining some vital information for the Alliance. He was also essential for the Rebel activities in the Corellian Trade Spine, particularly in the Bespin system.[1]
In 1 ABY, Blazer, a member of infiltration unit known as Shadow Squadron, was performing an infiltration operation on the Kalstan gangsters, in the Xorao system. He and his partners were identified by anti-Rebel Kiran Tatch, who had not crossed paths with them before. When Tatch reported his findings to the Kalstans the operation had to be cut with Blazer and his partners being chased by the pirates to a great cost in equipment. Tatch himself, his part played, did not join the chase.[1]
In 2 ABY, lieutenant commander Blazer was one of the few SpecForces Marshals of the Rebel Alliance on, and an important member of, the Rebel Alliance Task Force. In that functionality he wrote extensive reports on potential threats for the Rebel Alliance such as old acquaintance Kiran Tatch and Dr. Sere Lure. Blazer specified that Lure was a threat for aquatic Rebel units but that those same aquatic units might themselves spy on Lure. During this time, he also worked along with Lieutenant Commander Bakki Sourthol, Lieutenants Deeve and Tura Raftican, and Special Agent Tay Vanis.[1]
One year later, Blazer joined several other Alliance officers, including Lieutenant Alton Lochner, on Ord Mantell to enjoy a leave. They were identified by Niclara Varnillian, chief gunnery officer of the Imperial-class Star Destroyer Pulsar. Varnillian was provided with Imperial soldiers and a firefight ensued. Over thirthy-six innocent civilians and several Imperials were killed in the crossfire and, while Varnillian took two Rebel prisoners to the Pulsar, the others escaped.[2]
Personality and traits[edit | edit source]
Blazer was a dark-haired Human and an efficient Intelligence agent. He had experience in infiltration missions and he could obtain information on the activities of enemy agents. He was also a firm believer in the ideals of the Alliance to Restore the Republic.[1]
Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
Blazer was first mentioned in Alliance Intelligence Reports, published on June 1st, 1995. He was then mentioned again in Star Wars Adventure Journal 8 (November 1st, 1995).

text: Fragrance House The Harmonist Plans Expansion 9:13 AM PDT 6/20/2017 by Chris Gardner FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Getty Images "We can really take our own pace, and it's important to find that right location in this fragrance universe," says the company's general manager Segundo Broggi. The Harmonist — a luxe fragrance house with an address on Melrose Place — employs the tagline that reads, "Harmony is the source of beauty." And the company is now in the process of lining up a few more sources from which to offer its beauty in the form of feng shui-approved fragrance. During an interview with Pret-a-Reporter in Cannes, general manager Segundo Broggi says that The Harmonist should soon have locations in New York, London and Dubai to add to its roster that already includes Los Angeles and Paris. "Now we're arriving into what we call phase two of the company, which is going to have the expansion [of] additional locations," Broggi explains before adding that the company is also working on e-commerce solutions to offer the product online on other sites in addition to its own. Also upcoming? Adding The Harmonist's fragrances to niche perfumeries and pop-up shops, though Broggi said negotations are too early to reveal any specific details. Back to Cannes: The setting proved to be a harmonious place for a chat, considering the brand had a sizable presence in the French Riviera city during this year's film festival. The Harmonist branding appeared on the exterior and interior of the InterContinental Carlton Hotel Cannes as well as the Hotel Martinez, while the group set up shop in the exclusive Terrace Albane for various activations and events. The showing followed a major Cannes bash in 2016 that introduced The Harmonist to the jet-set crowd. It features fragrances inspired by Asian philosophy and utilizing the five basic elements of fire, water, wood, earth and metal. Being here at Cannes, what's the main focus that you want people to walk away from this experience knowing about The Harmonist? So, the Harmonist launched last year at the Cannes Film Festival and that helped open up a big door for the branding, relating everything we do to the world of the arts through [film]. We found a way to tell the story of our brand through our first commercial movie, shot by Bruno Aveillan, and launched here last year. This year, we're presenting our second movie, also shot by Bruno Aveillan; this is the connection that we have to the festival of why we are here. And from here, we use this as a platform to continue to expand the message of the brand through different mediums of art. How will you do that? We're working on a new project now that's going to premiere in September that it has to do with an art installation. It's a long-term project that's going to be 10 years. Every two years, we create an installation based on one of the feng shui elements of the universe. You will hear more about this in the coming months hopefully. Right now, we're in the process of negotiating the location for the premiere, which is going to be in Paris. It doesn't come cheap to have such a big presence in Cannes. I don't expect you to reveal how much you're spending, but in terms of significance, can you talk about why you decided to have activations at those hotels which are known to be quite expensive? One of the main things that attracted all of us to this project, our part in this project, was how different it is from what is happening in the fragrance industry these days. I have 15 or 16 years of fragrance history in my career that I had left behind and I moved into fashion, swearing never to come back, and then suddenly this cause was presented to me as an opportunity. We needed to find a way to tell the story different than what all the other brands of perfumes in this case are doing. We had this opportunity to come to Cannes the first year and we noticed that it was very relevant for us because, as you said, we don't see other brands. In this case, we don't see other brands in any industry doing this. The story is very important to The Harmonist. Is that why you've been so careful with expansion plans, like not placing product in chain stores, etc.? We need to be very careful of protecting this story that we have to tell and not becoming just another brand on the shelf somewhere in whatever store. So this way we like to tell the story ourselves. We are partnered here in Cannes with the first store worldwide that is not a Harmonist Boutique, which is Taizo, a boutique here in town which is exclusively a niche perfumerie. It's the only boutique outside of our own that sells The Harmonist and, of course, it's the perfect time to do this kind of test because of the presence that we have here and it's so relevant. We are not pressured to have to grow really fast, which is one of the advantages and benefits that we have as a brand. We can really take our own pace, and it's important to find that right location in this fragrance universe which is, you know, is a very populated universe.

A Train in Winter is noted as a Toronto Star Best Book, and I couldn't agree more.
A biography that reads like fiction, A Train in Winter is a stark look into WWII's Nazi occupation of Europe. It's also a celebration of the courage, sacrifice, duty, and strength of a group of French women who refused to submit to the German occupation, and instead joined the Resistance.
Only one trainload of female resisters was ever sent to the German death camp, Auschwitz. A Train in Winter shares the story of those women; how each lived, and eventually came to find herself on the train; how the women banded together to keep themselves and each other alive; how they coped and became friends; how some died, and others survived to eventually welcome US liberation.
I found this story haunting, heart-breaking, and horrifying. I also found it profoundly inspiring; testament to the strength of the human spirit, and friendship, and the deep well of emotional and mental strength women draw on to protect each other, and drive each other, to survive the worst humanity and the environment can throw at them.
Like last week's read, this book is definitely not for everyone. It is, however, one I think every woman should read.
A Train in Winter exposes the cold fragility of human life and freedom. It also shines a warm light on the innate strength within us to preserve both provided we bridge differences and dig deep to overcome inhibition and fear, so that we might live through commitment, courage, compassion, and community.
It takes courage to lead a life. Any life.

Tsimane Lodge Report
Sep 28th, 2010
This has been an incredible season for guests visiting Tsimane Lodge in Bolivia. Despite some extreme weather and water conditions the fishing has stayed strong throughout the season. We recently received this report from our good friend Felton Jenkins:
"One of my top 2 or 3 trips, period! My last morning fished in some rain from about 7-915 AM. Had 11 strikes, jumped 8, got 6 to riverbank, measured a 33, 29 & 28 incher. Beautiful, fantastic fish and fishing for a last magic morning that really capped off trip and best 2 hours. Last fish took a skated and stripped gurgler on the surface, WOW, and murdered it. Can't beat it. Would like to return to Tsimane for sure!"
From Walt Cole: "The Bolivia trip was great!"
Give us a call toll-free at 800-552-2729 if you're interested in fishing for golden dorado.

New York is an international center of the arts and any trip to the city would not be complete without a visit to one or more of the numerous museums, galleries, plays, concerts, and shows. Appreciation of art has been around in New York since its inception and artists of all walks of life and from all corners of the world have flocked there to create, display, share, and sell their work.
Art in New York City owes a part of its present day vitality to the wealthy industrialists of the 19th century who financed the construction of Carnegie Hall, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and other prominent cultural institutions, creating a network of various platforms for artists deliver their work to the public. Currently, New York City boasts over 2,000 arts and cultural organizations and 500+ art galleries, from the largest auction houses to hole-in-the-wall galleries so small that someone has to take you there to find it.
In fact, art is so entrenched in the culture of New York that the city has a law requiring any building it owns to allocate at least 1% of the first $20 million and at least 0.5% of any money over $20 million of any building project to art work. The maximum the city would be required to spend caps out at a cool $400,000.
The numerous museums in the City can be divided into several groups, including Art, Culture and History, Design, Natural History, and Children's museums.
Here are a few top picks:

For all the fanfare celebrating Australia's 15-year record for players through to the third round at the Aussie Open, the sad fact remains — Australian tennis may still needs its brats more than they need us.
In a tumultuous week of damaging headlines for Australian tennis, top male and female stars Alex de Minaur and Ash Barty have done everything they can to settle the rocking ship.
Coupled with the delightful runs of Alex Bolt, Kim Birrell and Alexei Popyrin through to the round of 32, they came dangerously close to deceiving some tennis commentators that all is well in Australian tennis.
It is not.
Australian captain Lleyton Hewitt's bold campaign to usher in performance and behavioural standards — while the right move — has fractured the Aussie Davis Cup team.
Divided. Disgruntled. Bending. Breaking.
This is just the beginning.
Thanasi Kokkinakis's reportedly sulking attitude at his selection snub from two years ago, Nick Kyrgios's Instagram pot shots and the alarming lack of support from Aussie players for the Hewitt administration this week shows at least one section of Aussie players is going to have to be dragged kicking and screaming to meet the two-time grand slam champion's demands.
Hewitt's unflinching standards have so far been matched by the stubborn refusal from some players, including Kyrgios, to fall into line. They are simply not used to being told what to do.
They are professionals who have been on the ATP Tour long enough to think they know what to do. Every intrusion from Hewitt is seen, in their eyes, as disrespectful or overstepping his brief.
It does not help Hewitt's cause that the significance on national representation in professional tennis is about to decline. The scrapping of the traditional Davis Cup structure in favour of a season-ending, 18-team tournament at a neutral location means representing Australia will boil down to a one-week qualifying tie and a one-week Davis Cup event annually — as well as possible Olympic competition every four years.
But for the 50 other weeks on the calendar, tennis players are sole-traders, looking out for No. 1.
It's what makes them feel invincible when it comes to disciplinary action from Tennis Australia. For 98 per cent of the year, they don't need anything from Tennis Australia — if their rankings are solid enough to squeeze them into the main draw of grand slam events.
It's why Kyrgios has escaped without sanction for his potshot at Hewitt this week for watching de Minaur's match while two Aussie teammates were in singles action at the same time.
It's why Kyrgios's press conference at the Open, in which he said there was "not really" a rift between him and Hewitt, came and went without a response from Tennis Australia.
Tennis Australia is simply painfully aware it still needs Kyrgios. The rapid rise of de Minaur, the promise of Popyrin and the fairytale run of Bolt doesn't change that.
Kyrgios remains too talented, and Australia's talent stocks too thin, for tennis officials to ever think they don't need the big-serving cardiac kid from Canberra.
De Minaur may be everything valued and respected by Australian tennis, but Rafael Nadal on Friday night brutally exposed why the 19-year-old is not the saviour so many Aussie tennis fans are desperate for him to be.
A second 6-1 6-2 6-4 clubbing at the hands of the No. 2 seed shows de Minaur still has terminal issues, just like Kyrgios.
De Minaur's heart and hunger are beyond question, but tennis still requires more than maniacal desperation.
His game is simply nowhere near good enough to match it with the best players in the world.
A remarkable 2018 season saw de Minaur climb from No. 208 in the world 12 months ago to a career-high ranking of No. 29 on the planet. That doesn't mean the teenager is capable of challenging the big boys.
His straight sets loss to Nadal takes his career record against top 10 ranked opponents to 0-10. He's still yet to defeat anyone ranked in the top 20 either.
For all his speed and heart, he has simply been outclassed against the best in the world to this point. And he is not the only one.
A quick breakdown of the Aussie men's players in the singles draw shows just how irreplaceable Kyrgios is in Australia's search for its next male grand slam champion. Despite his rankings slide, he is still the man most likely.
For all the developments and steps forward Australian players have taken at Melbourne Park this week, the statistical breakdown below shows just how desperate Australian tennis remains for Kyrgios to get his act together.
The combined record of the 12 Aussie men in the Australian Open main singles draw against top 10 opponents is scary reading.
Thanasi Kokkinakis 22, ranking 144: (2-4)
Alex Bolt 26, ranking 155: (0-0)
Nick Kyrgios 23, ranking 52: (15-28)
Alexei Popyrin 19, ranking 149: (1-1)
Bernard Tomic 26, ranking 88: (8-38)
John Millman 29, ranking 37: (1-11)
Jordan Thompson 24, ranking 72: (1-4)
Jason Kubler 25, ranking 130: (0-0)
Marc Polmans 21, ranking 169: (0-0)
Alex de Minaur, 19. Ranking 29: (0-10)
Matt Ebden 31, ranking 48: (3-10)
James Duckworth 26, ranking 237: (0-8)
That's a combined record against top 10 players of 31-115 and Kyrgios and Tomic are responsible for 74 per cent of the wins.
Popyrin — who unlike all the other players currently on Hewitt's good side actually appears to have the weapons to challenge those at the top — may be the great white hope.
But even his performance was tempered by the fact he couldn't get past a player in Lucas Pouille who had never won a match at the Austrlaian Open before this year.
Tennis Australia simply can't afford to go all in on de Minaur at the expense of Kyrgios just yet.
Aussie legends Todd Woodbridge and Pat Cash both highlighted De Minaur's Achilles heel on Saturday.
"Alex, he is going to need to beef-up his game," Woodbridge said in commentary for Channel 9.
"He wasn't able to win any quick points against Nadal. When they feel like they have time and can be patient, it's tough."
Cash pointed out the similarities between Hewitt and de Minaur should actually concern Aussie tennis fans.
"Ironically, there are good things to see there, but also I see some of the things that held Lleyton back against the big hitters," Cash told Macquarie Sports Radio of de Minaur's loss to Nadal.
"When he came up against some of the big boys, occasionally he toughed it out, but the big hitters got the best of him and Alex is a little bit like that. The backhand is a decent backhand, but it's not huge. The serve is decent, but he needs to find some big weapons.
"Speed and his competitiveness are great attributes. But in time he is absolutely going to need to get more power on that backhand. Players can just sit on that all day and as we saw last night Rafa just worked it to pieces. He's young, he's not going to be a big strong guy. He's going to have to find other ways to get that power."
Until he does, Kyrgios remains the man. And until he does, Tennis Australia will continue to have almost zero leverage on Kyrgios in their ongoing power struggle.
It is hard to pull rank on your meal ticket. Hewitt has forced the issue. It will either be the making of Kyrgios or the breaking of Australian tennis.
"The biggest thing that (Aussie tennis legend Tony Roche) Rochey and I have moving forward with the Davis Cup team is we feel like we have a responsibility to set a cultural standard. Right now Nick is not meeting those either," Hewitt said in his press conference.
"The things that we feel like we have to push and all we ask for is commit to the sport, go out there and give 100 per cent every time you step on the court."
Hewitt said Kyrgios has delivered several red flags this Australian summer. "Go out there and be a great role model the whole time. I'm happy to help anyone who's willing to meet me halfway," he said.
"I think you have to enjoy going out there and playing. I think Nick, with what he said in Brisbane, not actually wanting to be there really at the tournament, I think that hurts one of our Australian events. So he's got some work to do I think to get up to those standards.
"All I want guys to do is to commit to the sport and work hard, want to play for Australia. I don't think that's too much to ask."
Hewitt is going all in implementing his behavioural standards and he is gambling every chip Tennis Australia has on his shake-up.
Kyrgios is still just as likely to turn his back on the Davis Cup skipper as he is to turn his career around.
Either way, it's too late now. Hewitt has bought his ticket. Now Australian tennis takes its ride. Buckle up. Bumpy road ahead.

I found out about I Fight Dragons through a You Tuber, The Rock Critic. Their a pop-punk band that mixes a lot of chip tunes into their music. You might think this would be annoying, but you are wrong. Mostly because the band always balances the chip tunes out with great melodies and hooks. I was sold on "Eighteen" alone. It's an amazing song. The lyrics perfectly capture what it was like young like that. I would go so far as to say it stands up there with Alice Cooper's "I'm Eighteen" in terms of perfectly capturing the angst of that age. The rest of the album is filled with catchy songs with great layered harmonies that kind of remind me of The Mustard Seeds at times. Also, the lyrics are really good - very well thought out and poignant. The first half of the album is a concept about a kid who gets superpowers, the second half is stand alone songs.
Useless Fact: As of right now there is no actual hard copy CD - only vinyl. Oh... the tragedy! What will I put in the vault?

The first book ever written by the British deep state on their plans regarding the Ottoman and Turkish lands was William Ewart Gladstone's Bulgarian Horrors and the Question of the East, published on September 5, 1876. This book was particularly important because its author had served as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom four separate times, for a period of 15 years in total. That wasn't Gladstone's only notable position though. He also acted as a member of the Privy Council -one of the key institutions under the influence of the British deep state operating as a body of advisers to the Queen- and spent 57 years in that position. Lord Curzon, Lloyd George and Horace Rumbold, about whom more will be told in the following chapters, were also members of this Council. In his notorious 64-page book, Gladstone laid out his plan to break the Ottoman Empire into pieces and presented his plan with the pretense of examining "the Question of the East".
In his book, Gladstone provided secret tactics to disintegrate empires from within. Indeed, shortly after the book was published, British politicians developed a sudden fondness for the minorities living under Ottoman rule. Supporting those with independence ambitions, they provoked the minorities against the Ottoman rule. Gladstone sided with the Bulgarians, Lloyd George with the Greeks and the Armenians, Lord Curzon with the Kurds and Winston Churchill sided with the Arabs. It should be noted that there is nothing wrong with politicians and leaders forming friendly relations with ethnical groups. On the contrary, this forms a desirable picture. Regrettably, however, these new friendships were not real and were only intended to further British interests and break apart the Ottoman Empire. Unsurprisingly, as soon as British interests ceased to exist, so did those so-called friendships.
Gladstone's book was the epitome of black propaganda (the honorable Turkish Nation is above all the ill-natured remarks made by Gladstone). In this book, he referred to Turks as 'the one great anti-human specimen of humanity' and hoped that they would clear out from the lands they ruled. Gladstone didn't refrain from defaming Turks and said:
'No Government ever has so sinned; none has so proved itself so incorrigible in sin, or which is the same, so impotent in reformation'.(W.E. Gladstone, Bulgarian Horrors and the Question of the East, New York and Montreal, Lovell, Adam, Wesson and Company, 1876, p. 39)
The only reason behind all this defamation and slander was that Gladstone was one of the most powerful names in the British deep state, which wished to dismember the Ottoman Empire completely.
