Rare Naomi Osaka NFT Goes on Sale for Athlete Mental Health Awareness
By Reethu Ravi July 24, 2021 Updated: August 16, 2021 3 Mins Read
An NFT by tennis star Naomi Osaka is set to be resold to raise awareness about athletes' mental health. The rare NFT is a part of a collection of six NFTs that Osaka created with her sister Mari on April 2021.
The first five NFTs had fetched nearly $600,000 in an auction on Basic.Space. Meanwhile, the sixth NFT was sold in a public raffle. The winner of the raffle is now putting it up for auction.
The seller will donate a part of the proceeds from the sale to Athletes for Hope. The donations will go to the non-profits' initiative, 'Whole Being Athlete', which aims to raise awareness about athletes' mental health.

More on Naomi Osaka NFT resale
The NFT going up for auction is titled "Finding What Was Lost". According to Mari, this is Osaka's favourite piece among the six NFTs. The description of the NFT on the website, written by Mari, reads: "While she may occasionally lose her way, Naomi always manages to find herself back on the path she has been searching for".
The auction will go live on Basic.Space at 9 am ET on July 26. Those who wish to place a bid can head over to the website.
"This is an extremely unique piece, and the story behind it brings a lot of value to the future of sports collecting through NFTs," CryptoStache.com Founder Shea Newkirk said in a press release. Newkirk added that while recently there have been many NFT sales by professional athletes, Osaka's "persistent and positive presence in the public eye will probably push this auction to a new NFT record".
Both Osaka and Mari have signed all the NFTs in the collection. They were built on the Flow blockchain, which also hosts NBA Top Shot.
The need for mental health awareness
Osaka had stepped away from this year's French Open and Wimbledon to take care of her mental health. While her bold move resulted in criticism, it highlighted the importance of professional athletes' mental health and the need to openly speak about it.

"Now more than ever, athletes are struggling with their mental health," said Athletes for Hope COO Jason Belinkie. "With one in five people being diagnosed with a mental illness, it's become the number one requested cause from our athlete network for advocacy, connection and support".
Amid this, the Osaka NFT auction will help fund Athletes for Hope's initiatives to support athletes. Belinkie added that the organisation was "honoured" to continue Osaka's "vital work in the mental health space."
In the last couple of months, we have seen more and more athletes entering the NFT space. This month, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) had also announced a landmark interim rule allowing college athletes to sign business deals. With this, a new wave of college athlete NFTs will also hit the market.

1) Functional characterization of the FLCN-AMPK pathway in cancer - The Birt-Hogg-Dubé (BHD) syndrome is a hereditary human cancer syndrome that predisposes affected individuals to develop renal carcinoma of nearly all subtypes, as well as benign fibrofolliculomas, pulmonary, colon and renal cysts, caused by loss of-function mutations in the FLCN gene. FLCN was identified as an AMPK binding partner, and we demonstrated that FLCN is an evolutionarily conserved negative regulator of AMPK. Loss of FLCN constitutively activated AMPK, resulting in PGC-1α-mediated mitochondrial biogenesis, increased ROS production, which induced HIF transcriptional activity and drove Warburg metabolic reprogramming. This reprogramming stimulated cellular bioenergetics and conferred a HIF-dependent tumorigenic advantage in FLCN-negative cancer cells. Moreover, using Caenorhabditis elegans and mammalian cells, we showed that loss of FLCN results in constitutive AMPK-dependent induction of autophagy, inhibition of apoptosis, enhanced cellular bioenergetics, and resistance to energy-depleting stresses including oxidative stress, heat, anoxia, and serum deprivation. We further showed that AMPK activation conferred by FLCN loss is independent of the cellular energy state suggesting that FLCN controls the AMPK energy sensing ability. Together, our data suggest that FLCN is an evolutionarily conserved regulator of AMPK signaling that acts as a tumor suppressor by negatively regulating AMPK function. We are now studying the mechanism of FLCN inhibition with respect to AMPK sensing activity as well as the effect of FLCN loss and AMPK activation in tumor progression in various human cancers.
2) Role of ESCRT component HD-PTP/PTPN23 in cancer - Components of the Endosomal Sorting Complexes Required for Transport (ESCRT) have long been proposed to act as tumor suppressors. PTPN23 or HD-PTP, an ESCRT associated protein, is located on 3p21.3, a region frequently deleted in many human malignancies. Previously, we have demonstrated that HD-PTP is a catalytically inactive PTP due to an evolutionary conserved divergence in its phosphatase domain. Using a mouse model we showed that HD-PTP is expressed in all epithelial tissues and that homozygous deletion of Ptpn23 is embryonic lethal at day 9.5. We are now characterizing various cancer phenotypes in this mouse model to elucidate the function of HD-PTP in tumorigenesis. We are also studying the effect of HD-PTP depletion on cell surface receptor trafficking, by elucidating the molecular determinants of endocytosed receptors targeting for recycling or lysosomal delivery such as receptor ubiquitination and deubiquitination. ESCRT machinery is responsible for lysosomal targeting of ubiquitinated receptors, which leads to their signal abrogation. Therefore, depletion of ESCRT components is likely to result in enhanced recycling and downstream signalling of receptors escaping degradation, potentially leading to enhanced tumor initiation and progression.

At the beginning of 2019–20, I laid out four clear priorities to guide my office's work. I also set a goal to secure sufficient permanent resources for investigations into complaints under the Access to Information Act as part of a larger strategic and transformational approach to operations.
As this Department Results Report shows, my team and I were successful on all fronts—completing a large number of investigations and implementing substantial amendments to the Act. My office was also active in ensuring transparency in all its work and in fostering collaboration with institutions, all to facilitate investigations.
These results were made possible, in part, by temporary funding to hire more investigators to continue ongoing efforts to reduce the inventory of complaints.
At the same time, my team addressed the longstanding need for additional permanent resources to make it possible to keep up with the growing volume of complaints—which reached an all-time high this year—and carry out other aspects of my mandate. I was pleased to receive a favourable response from the Treasury Board to my request for permanent funding in August 2020.
Working with my senior management team, I also set the foundation for transforming how the Office of the Information Commissioner operates. In particular, a new strategic plan, which was developed with extensive employee input, sets new priorities and objectives for the next five years to ensure my office delivers results for Canadians.
With these building blocks in place, I am now determining how best to allocate the new resources and transform operations while continuing sound stewardship of public funds. As a result, my office will be able to continue to investigate complaints effectively and efficiently, and further reduce the number of complaints in the inventory. I will also participate in the government's review of the Access to Information Act, which is taking place during 2020–21. In both regards, my goal is to make a significant contribution to government transparency in Canada.
Responsible transformation is also essential in the context of the pandemic. In mid-March 2020, my team moved seamlessly to working remotely. The switch accelerated the move to all-electronic investigations and required my office to develop other creative ways to work and communicate with complainants and institutions. These preparations have positioned my office to handle the challenges ahead.
Two primary factors affected operations at the Office of the Information Commissioner (OIC) in 2019–20.
The first was the passage of Bill C-58 (An Act to amend the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act and to make consequential amendments to other Acts) in June 2019. The second factor was the record number of new complaints the OIC received over the year.
The OIC carried out its work in this context guided by four priorities:
Addressing the inventory: The OIC hired additional term investigators and consultants for the year with temporary funding provided under Budget 2019. Investigative teams were organized to investigate specific types of complaints and to work with portfolios of institutions. The responsibilities of the Registry, which the Commissioner had set up in 2018–19 to receive, register and manage complaints, were fine-tuned based on the first year's experience. The OIC updated and tested a number of new tools to assist investigators.
Implementing Bill C-58: With new permanent funding to implement the amendments to the Access to Information Act, the OIC increased its capacity to implement the Commissioner's new order-making power: she can now issue orders at the conclusion of investigations when she finds the complaints to be well founded. Likewise, the OIC expanded its publishing capacity, since the Commissioner may now publish reports of her investigations in English and French. This new capacity also supports the OIC's increased proactive disclosure of information, such as briefing materials prepared for the Commissioner. Finally, the OIC implemented a process by which institutions can seek the Commissioner's permission to decline to act on access requests, supported by epost Connect, a secure electronic communications and document-sharing platform.
Ensuring transparency: The OIC unveiled a completely revamped website in 2019–20. This refreshed and modern online presence makes it easy for complainants and institutions to find useful information on the Commissioner's interpretations of the Act (including reports on systemic investigations and searchable summaries of notable investigations completed over the past decade) and guidance on procedures the OIC follows during investigations.
Fostering collaboration with institutions: The Commissioner met with deputy ministers and senior officials at five institutions over the year to gather and share best practices, learn more about the state of access operations in individual institutions, and communicate her concerns about whether and how institutions are fulfilling their obligations under the Act.
For more information on the OIC's plans, priorities and results achieved, see the "Results: what we achieved" section of this report.
Total actual spending, 2019–20:
Actual full-time equivalents,
2019–20: 94
Completed a large number of investigations, which kept the increase in the size of the inventory of complaints to a minimum despite receiving a unprecedented number of new complaints
Completed 800 investigations of complaints dating from before April 1, 2018, contributing to a 66-percent reduction in older files in the inventory over two years
Moved to electronic investigations, which increased efficiency and made it possible for investigators to continue to work remotely later in the year and beyond once the pandemic closed the OIC office
Description: The Information Commissioner is the first level of independent review of government decisions relating to requests for access to information under the control of government institutions. The Access to Information Act requires the Commissioner to investigate all the complaints she receives.* The second level of independent review is performed by the Federal Court.
*With amendments to the Act that came into force in June 2019, the Commissioner may now refuse or cease to investigate complaints in limited circumstances.
The OIC excelled in meeting the Commissioner's four priorities for the year.
Addressing the inventory: The OIC completed an unprecedented number of investigations in 2019–20. This meant that, although the OIC also received a record number of new complaints, it kept the increase in the size of the inventory of complaints to a minimum.
This was possible thanks to the efforts of additional term investigators and consultants the OIC hired for the year with temporary funding provided through Budget 2019.
The OIC organized its investigations teams to be responsible for specific types of complaints and to work with portfolios of institutions. The duties of the Registry, which the Commissioner had set up in 2018–19 to receive, register and manage complaints, were fine-tuned based on the first year's experience. The OIC also updated and tested a number of new tools to assist investigators.
Together these measures meant that the OIC was able to close 112 percent more complaints than in 2018–19 and limit the growth of the inventory to 6 percent, despite receiving 150 percent more new complaints. Among the investigations completed were 800 dating from prior to April 1, 2018, contributing to a 66 percent decrease in these older files over two years.
Implementing Bill C-58: Bill C-58 (An Act to amend the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act and to make consequential amendments to other Acts) received Royal Assent in June 2019. The Commissioner gained a number of new powers and responsibilities under the amendments. With new permanent funding to implement the amendments, the OIC increased its capacity such that the Commissioner can now issue orders at the conclusion of investigations, when she finds the complaints to be well founded. She can now also publish reports of her investigations in English and French. The increased publishing capacity also supports the OIC's proactive disclosure of information, such as briefing materials prepared for the Commissioner. Finally, the OIC implemented a process by which institutions can seek the Commissioner's permission to decline to act on access requests, supported by epost Connect, a secure electronic communications and document-sharing platform.
Ensuring transparency: The OIC unveiled a completely revamped website in 2019–20. This refreshed and modern online presence makes it easy for complainants and institutions to find useful information on the Commissioner's interpretations of the Act (including reports on systemic investigations and searchable summaries of notable investigations completed over the past decade), guidance on procedures the OIC follows during investigations and other matters related to the Commissioner's oversight role.
The OIC published new guidance documents in 2019–20 covering email management and applying for the Commissioner's approval to decline to act on access requests.
In May 2019, the Commissioner moderated a panel at the Open Government Partnership Global Summit held in the National Capital Region on how removing restrictions on historical government records could improve access to those records, reduce the need to make access requests, and make the processing of historical national security records less complex. In February 2020, the OIC published a declassification strategy for national security and intelligence records authored by University of Ottawa professor and national security expert Wesley Wark, who had served as rapporteur for the Commissioner's panel.
Fostering collaboration with institutions: The Commissioner met with deputy ministers and senior officials at five institutions over the year (Transport Canada, the Department of Justice Canada, National Defence, Library and Archives Canada, and the Privy Council Office). The purpose of these meetings was to gather and share best practices, learn more about the state of access operations in individual institutions, and communicate the Commissioner's concerns about whether and how institutions are fulfilling their obligations under the Act.
The Commissioner spoke at the annual meeting of federal access to information and privacy practitioners, held during Right to Know Week in September 2019. She also discussed the importance of access to information during a January 2020 presentation to staff at Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada. This institution receives roughly two thirds of all access requests across government each year.
Together, these activities combined to produce a very successful year, with the OIC continuing to make a significant contribution to government transparency. The OIC also continued to pursue permanent funding to augment its investigative capacity for inventory reduction. The resulting stability would lead to efficiency and better position the OIC to respond effectively should the elevated volume of complaints continue.
In March 2020, the OIC began to get a sense of the impact the COVID-19 pandemic would have on investigations. Institutions started to inform the OIC that, given their limited capacity for remote work, they might not be able to meet dates they had previously committed to for responding to complainants or the OIC. The OIC also reminded institutions that they must continue to properly document their decisions as well as their decision-making processes.
The OIC will be updating its performance indicators and targets in 2020–21 to allow it to better measure its performance and the results it achieves for Canadians.
The investigations the OIC completes contribute directly to government transparency and—since complaints can focus on topics such as residential schools and First Nations, gender and transgender issues, gender-based analysis-plus, women, Indigenous women, discrimination and harassment—to advancing inclusiveness in Canada.
Over the course of 2019–20, the OIC implemented and began to work with epost Connect, a secure electronic platform to facilitate communication and information sharing between complainants, institutions and the OIC when institutions apply for permission to decline to respond to access requests. Based on lessons learned from this experience, the OIC will develop and take advantage of other tools to make its processes more efficient and aid its interactions with complainants and institutions.

The OIC hired new investigators and other program staff in 2019–20, but was unable to engage the planned 71 FTEs. Other hiring, covered by temporary funding, involved arranging for consultants through Temporary Help Services.
Financial, human resources and performance information for the OIC's Program Inventory is available in GC InfoBase.
Internal Services are those groups of related activities and resources that the federal government considers to be services in support of programs and/or required to meet corporate obligations of an organization. Internal Services refers to the activities and resources of the distinct service categories that support program delivery in the organization, regardless of the Internal Services delivery model. The service categories are Acquisition Management Services, Financial Management Services, Human Resources Management Services, Information Management Services, Information Technology Services, Material Management Services, Management and Oversight Services, Communication Services and Real Property Management Services.
The OIC's internal services teams supported the program in meeting the Commissioner's priorities, in particular securing permanent annual funding to implement the Commissioner's new powers and responsibilities, and temporary funding for inventory reduction.
The hiring of investigators with the new funding required significant support from the Human Resources team, in terms of staffing actions and other processes, over the course of 2019–20. The team also resolved a number of Phoenix-related pay problems.
Toward the end of 2019–20, the OIC began the process to request permanent funding for its ongoing inventory reduction activities. Securing such resources would allow the OIC to augment and stabilize its investigative capacity on a permanent basis and thus increase efficiency.
The OIC moved to electronic investigations in 2019–20, which contributed to inventory reduction efforts. Among other important contributions, the IM/IT team developed policies and procedures, and obtained equipment, for converting paper records to digital ones, and began work to integrate new investigation reports with the OIC's case management system. The IT team worked with the program to implement epost Connect, a secure electronic communications and document-sharing platform to facilitate communication between the OIC and institutions and requesters to support a new process required under Bill C-58.
When the OIC had to close its office in mid-March 2020 due to the pandemic, the IT team provided exemplary service such that all employees could, in a matter of days, work from home with access to the OIC network. Investigators were able to continue their work, but were hindered by the shutdown of access operations in many institutions. Corporate functions were facilitated by the prompt implementation of electronic document delivery and electronic signatures. At the close of the fiscal year, the OIC began planning for selective access to the otherwise closed office for critical services and for new tools to facilitate remote work.
Over the year, the OIC had set priorities for investments in information management and information technology applications and infrastructure to transform operations in line with government direction and to enhance network and information security. Together, these will also help the OIC function efficiently and effectively as the pandemic continues.
The OIC carried out its planned threat risk and vulnerability assessments in 2019–20 to help ensure the OIC's security measures are robust and aligned with emerging threats. The OIC also finalized its new Departmental Security Plan and updated its Business Continuity Plan, as part of ongoing work to reduce operational risks.
With extensive employee input, the OIC developed a new strategic plan for the next five years, supported by a new governance structure.
Employees were also actively involved in developing the OIC's new intranet, which will be launched in 2020–21.
The increase in resources for internal services was required to keep up with the ongoing workload and to carry out projects to meet the organization's key priorities and corporate obligations.
Spending trend

The OIC spent $14.4 million in 2019–20 to carry out its program and meet its strategic outcome. The vast majority of the OIC's spending (70 percent) is for salaries and associated employee costs. The Commissioner is committed to ensuring that the OIC uses its financial resources in the most strategic and responsible manner to continue to improve service delivery and ensure that investigations and other activities aimed at enhancing government openness and transparency have the most impact.
The OIC received $3.4 million in temporary funding in 2016–17 in order to reduce the number of complaints in the inventory. The OIC spent $2.9 million of this funding that year. The remaining $0.5 million was re-profiled to 2017–18 and spent during that year. The OIC received $2.9 million in temporary funding for 2018–19, also for inventory reduction. In 2019–20, the OIC received $1.3 million in permanent annual funding to implement the Commissioner's new powers and responsibilities, and $2.6 million in temporary funding for inventory reduction.
For 2020–21 and beyond, the spending graph does not include the additional permanent funding the OIC has requested to continue to augment its investigative capacity for inventory reduction.

Net cost of operations before government funding and transfers
The actual net cost of operations in 2019–20 was higher than planned due to the OIC's securing additional funding after that year's initial figures were published.
The actual net cost of operations in 2019–20 was higher than in 2018–19 mostly due to the OIC's securing more funding that, in turn, resulted in increased spending for salaries (but offset by a reduction in costs for outsourced services).

Departmental net financial position
Total net liabilities for 2019–10 were $2.5 million, a decrease of $0.2 million from 2018–19. This decrease is mainly due to a drop in the year-end accounts payable as a result of the OIC continuing to improve its processes and internal controls for timely processing and accounting of transactions throughout the year. The decrease in accounts payable was partially offset by an increase in salaries payable because of underpayments through Phoenix and an increase in unused vacation at year-end. The decrease in non-financial assets largely resulted from the amortization of tangible capital assets.

Experimentation is related to, but distinct from innovation (the trying of new things), because it involves a rigorous comparison of results. For example, using a new website to communicate with Canadians can be an innovation; systematically testing the new website against existing outreach tools or an old website to see which one leads to more engagement, is experimentation.

Odisha (Orissa) People

People & Lifestyle of Odisha (Orissa):

Ancient Odisha (Orissa) was a confluence of racial streams that kept on invading the state leaving their own imprints thus affecting the life style a lot. Historians believe that Aryans entered Odisha (Orissa) from the northeast, subjugated the primitive people living there and imposed on them their language and culture. But on reflection we conclude that the people then living in the land were not perhaps all of the primitive type, nor were they subjugated culturally. What might have happened probably was a racial and cultural amalgamation.

In spite of being rural, people of Odisha (Orissa), have still retained India's earliest civilization in its pristine form by keeping their traditional values still alive. Not only in their secluded hamlets, but also in the countless thousands of villages in the country side one can catch a glimpse of the dwindling horizon of humanity, through the innocent and benign outlook of tile villagers.

As delighted visitors to our state have said - it is a wonder that such a small geographic area can contain such a vast and fascinating collection of sights and experiences.

Q: Row selection in UIPickerView I want to show the current date on selecting the row of UIDatePickerView on the label, My issue is when I opened my date picker it doesn't show anything on the label on selecting the row but when I move my date picker view, It started updating my label, I am not able to fix it. I want to display the date whenever I touch the date picker view row. I even added TouchUpInside row method also, still, it is not working
Here is my code snippet:
- (IBAction)btn_calendar_event:(id)sender {
    // ADD UIDatePicker and open it
    if (self.picker) {
        [self.toolbar removeFromSuperview];
        [self.picker removeFromSuperview];
    }
    [self hideKeyboard];
    self.picker = [[UIDatePicker alloc] init];
    self.picker.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
    [self.picker setValue:[UIColor blackColor] forKey:@"textColor"];

    self.picker.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth;
    self.picker.datePickerMode = UIDatePickerModeDate;
  forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];

[self.picker addTarget:self action:@selector(dueDateChanged:)forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
        [self.picker addTarget:self action:@selector(dueDateChanged:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];
     }
// dueDateChanged method

-(void) dueDateChanged:(UIDatePicker *)sender {
    NSDateFormatter* dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
    [dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"YYYY-MM-dd"];

    NSLog(@"Picked the date %@", [dateFormatter stringFromDate:[sender date]]);
   _txtf_birthDate.text = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:[sender date]];

}

// Done button Action

-(void)onDoneButtonClick {
    [self dueDateChanged :  self.picker];
    [self.toolbar removeFromSuperview];
    [self.picker removeFromSuperview];
}

A: The problem is when you're initialising your picker your picker is not settings the date to label so it'll only update when dueDateChanged will be triggered so when you initialise your date picker select the date you want to display as a default date and show it in label like
After [self.picker addTarget:self action:@selector(dueDateChanged:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged] Simply add a default date to your picker like :-
self.picker.date=[NSDate date]; // add the default initial date
[self dueDateChanged:self.picker];

According to your requirement "If I want to display the current date on selecting row then how to do it, It is now setting default initial date without even selecting the row of date picker view
" you can add this line anywhre from where you want to show the date
NSDateFormatter* dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"YYYY-MM-dd"];
_txtf_birthDate.text = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:[NSDate date]];

Posted in Uncategorized By Bill Kopp On August 3, 2009
Review Teaser: Dennis Diken with Bell Sound
Smashing! I just went to the mailbox and found my advance copy of the new album by Dennis Diken with Bell Sound. Diken is — among other cool things — drummer for the Smithereens, but this is his first up-front outing without that group. Featuring heavy friends familiar to powerpop fans (Jason Falkner; Probyn Gregory and Nick Walusko of Wondermints; Andy Paley and others) this looks and sounds to be a great album. So far I'm only to track #3, but already I've heard grin-inducing nods to Summer Days (And Summer Nights!!)-era Beach Boys ("Standing in That Line") and Sell Out-era Who ("Long Lonely Ride"). Full review soon.
Street date for Late Music, the debut album by Dennis Diken with Bell Sound is September 29.
With a background in marketing and advertising, Bill Kopp got his professional start writing for Trouser Press. After a stint as Editor-in-chief for a national music magazine, Bill launched Musoscribe in 2009, and has published new content every business day since then (and every single day since 2018). The interviews, essays, and reviews on Musoscribe reflect Bill's keen interest in American musical forms, most notably rock, jazz, and soul. His work features a special emphasis on reissues and vinyl. Bill's work also appears in many other outlets both online and in print. He also researches and authors liner notes for album reissues -- more than 30 to date -- and co-produced a reissue of jazz legend Julian "Cannonball" Adderley's final album. His first book, Reinventing Pink Floyd was published by Rowman & Littlefield in 2018, and in paperback in 2019. His second book, Disturbing the Peace: 415 Records and the Rise of New Wave, will be published in 2021 by HoZac Books.


This time, I'll be writing about Yunnan puehr, which is, I guess, kind of the "normal" kind.
As the name implies, it is made in the Yunnan province, which is a place where, actually, a lot of teas I've seen are produced.
It is very earthy, and smells, I think, slightly like mushrooms, which is understandable, since puehr is a fermented tea.
This particular kind that I have photos of (and am drinking right now), tastes a bit more like black tea than some I've had before.

Not one, but TWO, possibly three love triangles on Bachelor in Paradise
I hate to admit it, but I was sucked into Bachelor in Paradise next week. It wasn't quite (close, but not quite) as outlandish as Bachelor Pad. The dynamics of everyone needing to pick someone while more than one person had interest in a member of the opposite sex... it got me.
Maybe, just maybe, the people that get picked last find their love connection. Perhaps the rejected will find love. Not that I believe they are really in it for true love.
What crazy people arrive this week? I can hardly wait!
We start off the night with an explanation of why Michelle K. left the show last week before the rose ceremony came to an end. It turns out she met a guy a couple of days before the show started taping and got involved with him. It turns out that this guy was a crew member named Ryan. When someone came to check in with Michelle, a show psychiatrist, they freaked out and Ryan jumped off a 20 foot balcony as to not get caught. He broke both of his legs.
Now, onto the beach house. Clare and Lacy whisper about the two men, Marcus and Robert, who are after Lacy. Seeing as Clare got the rose as a back-up choice for Robert (even though she picked him for a date), I think she's just trying to stir stuff up.
We cut to some of the cast sitting on the porch when Crazy Chris B. who tried to meet Andi last season shows up with a date card. No one is excited to see him, knowing his reputation. The first thing he does is walk into the girls' bedroom to introduce himself to everyone.
Chris' date card tells him to pick someone to pamper in paradise.
Graham says that Chris has a reputation with the ladies and expects him to sample the merchandise whether it belongs to someone else or not.
Chris picks Clare for the date. Those two deserve each other. One crazy deserves another. They go on a couples massage.
Meanwhile back at the house, Robert is disappointed to see Marcus and Lacy out on the beach together. I don't know why he seems surprised. She went back and forth between the two last week. She asked Robert to go on her date, but Robert gave Clare the rose last week.
Here's my advice - just move on. If "your" woman is publicly kissing another guy, you need to find someone else. You also better watch out Robert because your back-up girl is on a date with a psycho.
The next date card shows up for Marcus.
Ben, Graham and Robert read it. Seeing as Ben did the actual reading, he delivered it to Marcus though he jokingly tells Robert he can get rid of it. He, being with Lacy on the beach when it arrives, asks her to go on the date.
Back at the massage, Chris tries to lay the charm on Clare. They had a very good first date.
On the beach, Elise yammers on to Dylan about her Zodiac sign. Elise has fallen hard for him. Dylan thinks he needs to test the waters and tells her that he wouldn't be mad if she decided to go out with someone else while there. He tries to convince her to be open to date other people. She doesn't want to because she thinks they have an amazing connection.
Later that night, its time for Lacy and Marcus to go on their date. Robert is steaming. Sarah and Michelle Money (because her first and last name have to be used together) feel bad for Robert.
Lacy doesn't think it's to early to see a future with Marcus, but he has just gotten out of his relationship with Andi. She wants to have a serious conversation. True to his style, he admits feelings early and assures her that he is ready to move on.
Chris decides to go off and get some time with Elise who is trying to make Dylan jealous. Clare had felt a connection, but is warned that Chris is a player. Chris and Elise go off in the ocean (literally and well, you know). Graham, Robert, Michelle Money and Clare gawk from the hot tub to see who it is off in the ocean. Clare is little jealous, but Dylan is in his bunk asleep.
The next morning, Elise tells Michelle Money why she went off with Chris - Dylan told her to date other people. Elise wants a relationship - marriage, kids, all that, so she'll go after anyone that will give it to her. Elise starts crying about one guy or another, but is really 100% into Dylan and she believes it's a turning point. She tells Dylan that she kissed Chris (is that all?) which ticks him off. HELLO BOZO! She did what you told her to do so that you would be free to test the waters. Now he is convinced it won't work out.
Claire is conflicted about her time in Paradise since everyone she goes on a date with ends up with someone else. Things get more interesting when Zack from Desiree's season shows up. Claire's excited because he's a friend.
Of course, Zack arrives with a date card. "Choose someone and go explore your relationship."
Zack picks Clare, Miss Popularity. Robert is freaked not knowing who will give him a rose now. Chris is too since both guys have lost their love interest in another triangle outside of Clare. Clare and Zack go off in the ocean where she feels his connection (gag).
Back at the house, Elise chats with the girls about her man Dylan. Sarah sits around listening when she should be trying to make a connection with someone, anyone. Chris needs Elise to give him a rose, so starts to stir up trouble saying Dylan doesn't care.
Meanwhile, Marcus tells Dylan he should go talk to Sarah and ask her out if he gets a date card. Sure enough, Chris finds Dylan's date card. Chris doesn't know that Dylan has no intentions of taking Elise, or so he tells Marcus.
I'm wondering at this point why we haven't seen Marquel trying to further his moves on Money or AshLee pining away over Graham. All in good time, I'm guessing.
Back from commercial, Elise is convinced she's going to get a date with Dylan because they have been talking about their first dates for hours every day.
Dylan asks Sarah to talk, and invites her to go along. Sarah doesn't immediately say yes, she hesitates and asks why he's not taking Elise. In a completely bad move, Sarah tells Dylan that she has to think about it. Elise is Sarah's BFF on the show. Sarah reveals to Elise the card said:
"Enjoy your first date with the woman of your choice."
Elise trusts Sarah and wants Dylan to have fun, or so she says. "You deserve it and so does he." They just have to work through this. Can you say delusional?
FINALLY, Sarah goes to Dylan and tells him she wants to go. Can you say awkward?
While Sarah and Dylan are on their date, everyone else is left with hearing Elise whine the night away. Elise still believes she and Dylan have a terrific connection, but he is just scared.
Dylan hopes for a real connection or at least gets Sarah's rose. He pays her compliments about how beautiful she is and such. She's so awkward though.
On the beach, Ben's trying to lead the party which is impressive to Money. Their new thing is "YOPO" which is you're only in paradise once.
In the house Marquel is laying around, and Marcus shows Marquel a letter that Marcus finds in Ben's bag after he (Marcus) poured water on it. Evidently Ben has a girlfriend, and Marquel doesn't take kindly to this. Marq and Marc decide to confront Ben.
Ben wants to know how Marcus found it - while brushing his teeth. Ben explains that it was something that happened fast when he met this girl three weeks ago. He didn't know the letter was in his bag until got there.
Clare walks up to the fire and everyone asks if she heard anything on the way down. Saying no, she goes back up to snoop. She goes back down after snooping to tell everyone what she heard. Then the drunk masses go up to find out what is going on.
Michelle gets emotional about leaving her daughter behind in order to try to meet someone there and is offended that Ben came and already had a connection with someone. Ben says he left his kid too. Everyone jumps him, especially Clare for "coming for the wrong reasons." Michelle is hacked, telling Zack that Ben came taking a spot of someone that could have come and been her match. Michelle must be PMSing to be this emotional about this. She's taking this all way too seriously.
Ben decides to dismiss himself and go back to the woman he made a connection with in Dallas before he arrived.
Dylan and Sarah get back right after all the drama goes down. Lucky them!
Cocktail party time!
Chris is nervous and hopes he gets Elise's rose since she's really the only one he's interested in.
During the cocktail party, there's some coupling up before rose time to ensure roses. Money thinks she has something going on with Marquel. That's until they go off to talk. Marquel tells her that there are some things that concern him about her like, "you like to drink." This puzzles her greatly, never having thought about having a drinking problem before. Marquel realizes he may have talked himself out of a rose.
Robert walks up to talk to Money and see if he might be able to get her rose since Lacy is sure to give Marcus hers now. Michelle asks him, "do you think I drink more than anyone else?"
Meanwhile, Chris talks to Elise to try to shore up getting her rose instead of Dylan. She still really into Dylan. Sarah isn't sure what to do because she had a connection with Dylan, but knows that Elise is obsessed. Dylan claims he won't accept Elise's rose because he doesn't care about her. Dylan tells Sarah to not worry about Elise because she didn't come there to meet a best friend, but to search for love.
To smooth things out, Dylan takes Elise off to chat. Dylan calls Elise a friend and tells her to take full advantage of the situation -- Chris. "Don't hold back with Chris." Elise doesn't get the point that Dylan is telling her "we're just friends." I agree with her on one thing - Dylan is beating around the bush. However, she does not get that he is not into her. Finally, Dylan tells her, "I won't accept your rose."
Thank goodness it's time for roses! The women have the power this week. One man will be going home.
Lacy in her ridiculous crop top and short shorts picks Marcus.
AshLee instantly picks Graham.
Clare picks Zack.
Money decides to go with Marquel after all. She thanks him for opening up to her this week.
Elise is up next. She looks conflicted. One guy wants her rose. Another guy doesn't. She offers it to Dylan. He tells her he can't accept because she has other options. She addresses the crowd telling everyone that every woman deserves a man that will fight for her and is in 100%. Circus music plays in the background. Finally, she goes up to second choice Chris who is only too happy to accept the rose.
Sarah, who didn't think the speech from Elise was necessary, is up last. Her choices are Dylan or Robert. She gives it to Robert, saying she'd like to get to know him better. She obviously wants to avoid more drama with Dylan and Elise. I get that, but if she thought had a connection with Dylan, I don't know if she made the right choice or not.
Dylan can only kick himself on the ride home.
Previews of next week have AshLee and Graham on their first date. He has to tell her not to start talking "forever" yet. More drama will ensue as there's mixing of the couples with more women coming into the picture.

2128. The idea of a Last Judgment as presented to the evil, which I have seen two or three times, was as follows. When the spirits around me had combined into mischievous societies, so as to exercise predominance, and did not suffer themselves to be so governed by the law of equilibrium according to order as not to annoy other societies in an excessive manner, and to begin inflicting injury upon them by their overpowering force, there then appeared a band of spirits of considerable magnitude, coming from the quarter in front, a little to the right and above, at the approach of which there was heard a hubbub that as it were rose and fell with a loud roar; and as soon as the spirits heard it they were seized with consternation and terror, the result of which was a confusion; and then the spirits who were in those societies were dispersed, one this way and another that, so that they dissolved away from one another, and no one knew where his companion was. While this lasted, it appeared to the spirits just as if it were the Last Judgment with the destruction of all things. Some uttered lamentations; some from fright as it were lost all heart; in a word, a sense of danger as of a final crisis seized on all.
 The sound of those advancing from the quarter in front was heard by them variously; by some as the sound of armed horsemen, and by others otherwise, according to their state of fear and the phantasy it excited. It was perceived by me as a continuous murmur, with undulations rising and falling, and indeed as of many together. I was instructed by those near me that such bands come from that quarter when societies have been evilly combined in this way, and that they know how to dissociate and dissever the one from the other, and at the same time to strike terror, so that nothing is thought of but flight; and that by means of such disjunctions and dispersions all are at last reduced by the Lord into order. I was also told that this is what is signified in the Word by the "east wind."
