Plot
N. Venkateswara "Venky" Rao works at UB TV and his aim is to become a news reader like his father N. Bhanu Murthy. Bhanu Murthy discontinued his work as a news reader in Doordarshan after entry of new channels and a paralytic attack. However, Venky is unable to reach his target and he has a strong contender in the race for his dream job is Vamana Rao. Meanwhile, for the past four years, Venky is stuck working as an anchor for Teleshopping advertisements at UB TV. Moreover, his overbearing boss Uday Bhaskar is jealous of Venky as Venky can easily communicate with girls whereas Uday is extremely awkward in his interactions with women. Therefore, he turns a roadblock in Venky's aim to become a news reader. After rejecting many marriage proposals, Uday agrees to marry a dentist Sirisha after seeing her photograph given by his marriage broker. After their first meet, Sirisha wants to meet Uday again for understanding him better. Since Uday is not good at communication with women, he takes the help of Venky and seeks his advice. Based on her preferences, Venky gives some suggestions to Uday at a bowling alley. While returning to their homes, Uday asks Venky about his comfortable approach towards girls and asks Venky if he has any past love experiences. Venky narrates his love story. In 2009, Venky went to Visakhapatnam for summer vacation and he met a Delhi-based nineteen-year-old girl, Prabhavathi a.k.a. Prabha. Prabha has also come for a vacation to Vizag for peace of mind as her parents are going through a divorce in Delhi. Venky and Prabha meet in a movie theater and come to know that they reside in the same apartment complex. Venky develops a crush on her but he is advised not to take any hasty steps by his uncle and aunt.

Venky and Prabha develop a good friendship and when Venky starts developing much stronger feelings for her, his uncle asks him to list at least 10 reasons why he loves her. He writes 100 reasons in a book and sings them all together once. On the birthday of Prabha, Venky takes her out to a nice dinner and proposes her. She replies that though she likes him and treats him as her best friend, she cannot accept his proposal as she is only 19 and can't take such a big decision at that age. She asks him to continue their friendship and they can take a decision later. Venky is offended and reacts telling her that he is new to "Delhi culture" with flirtatious and temporary relationships.  Annoyed, she leaves the restaurant and Venky's efforts to apologize her fail completely as she leaves for Delhi the next day. After Venky narrates his story, both Venky and Uday say good bye to each other and part for the night. Next morning, Uday and Sirisha meet and all attempts by Uday to impress her fail. She decides to seek another alliance and to choose the best between the two. Then, Uday and his broker decide to send Venky's photograph as the new bridegroom. The plan is to portray him as a wastrel and Uday as a good friend, so that Sirisha accepts Uday. Venky is forced to act as per the plan under the threat that he will be dismissed from his job and his career will be ruined if he fails to do so. Uday also offers him a job as a news reader in UB TV if he obeys the former's orders. Venky obliges and visits a temple next morning where he is scheduled to meet Sirisha. Here, he realizes that Sirisha is none other than Prabha, his former muse. To avoid an uncomfortable situation, Venky enlists the help of Chinta Guru Murthy, a NRI who befriends Venky during the temple visit.

Venky persuades Guru to pose as the prospective bridegroom, so that Prabha can reject him and go back to Uday.  When Prabha reaches home, she discovers that bridegroom was Venky and not Gurumurthy. She wants to meet Venky and propose to him as she grew to cherish their relationship over the past few years. Next day, Uday and Venky sit in a coffee shop where Uday gives Venky a Bluetooth device and a smart phone for communication. Using that, Uday plans to seek Venky's real-time help while conversing with Prabha. When Uday goes to bring the phone's charger, Prabha meets Venky and proposes him. Before Venky can respond, Uday reaches the location and Venky runs into washroom along with the phone's charger. Via Bluetooth, Venky helps Uday converse eloquently with Prabha. The conversation of Uday and Prabha ends with a decision to meet at 7:00 pm at a hotel the next Friday for dinner. When Uday leaves, Venky comes back and he agrees to meet her at 9 pm on the same Friday near Necklace road. During the dinner, Uday wants to give a love letter to Prabha and Venky pens it in the form of a poem which can be sung as a song.

Uday speaks to Prabha while seeking guidance from Venky via bluetooth and when she is about to leave, he gives her the love letter. She reads it during her journey to Necklace road and is impressed. When she meets Venky at Necklace road and proposes to him, he rejects her and she leaves dejected. Next night, Uday goes to Prabha's house with a bouquet when she is about to spend a little quality alone-time. But this time, neither Venky's phone signals work, nor his phone's battery has sufficient charging. Thus, Uday can seek Venky's help only for a few moments and when the phone call ends, Uday proposes to prabha on the spur of the moment and tries to present her a ring. The plan backfires and Prabha asks Uday to leave her house. After leaving the house, Uday enlists the help of Venky again and sings a song praising her beauty. She is impressed and agrees to marry Uday. When Prabha wears the ring given by Uday, Venky is dejected and leaves home. At home, Venky is advised by his mother that Uday is using him as a scapegoat. She advises him to resign from his job and win back Prabha. When Venky reaches the office next morning, his colleague Kalyani tells him that he is selected as the news reader for the evening news bulletin. He goes to Uday's chamber and submits his resignation. When he is about to leave Venky's office to meet Prabha, Uday beats him up and ties him to a chair and covers his mouth with a tape. Then, Uday selects Vamana Rao as the evening bulletin news reader. However, Kalyani who saw Venky entering Uday's chamber doubts Uday. Uday and Prabha meet up at a shopping mall and start to watch UB TV's first ever news bulletin. Venky at Uday's chamber causes a fire in the room with a cigarette lighter to garner attention and is rescued. Kalyani sends him to read weather telecast and when he is visible on screen, his parents and his uncle and aunt at Visakhapatnam are happy for him. He then reveals the whole truth and proposes to Prabha telling her that he visited Visakhapatnam every summer vacation since he met her though she never returned. Before Uday can stop Prabha from leaving him, he is attacked by Guru who locks him up in a restroom at the shopping mall. With the help of Guru, Prabha reaches UB TV office and after a small quarrel, Venky and Prabha unite. Before Uday can fire Venky, he is stopped by his father. Because of all these developments, the TRP's of UB TV cross TV9 and Venky becomes highly popular.  Uday makes Venky the news reader of evening bulletin and he assigns Vamana Rao to Teleshopping. The film ends with Venky helping Uday in flirting with a girl using Bluetooth communication.

Production
After working in few Telugu films since 2008, actor Srinivas Avasarala who holds a diploma in writing at UCLA wanted to direct a film. In an interview he said that he wanted to start a "small budget venture that can be easily executed." To this end, he chose the main conflict point of the famous French play Cyrano de Bergerac and prepared a story. Srinivas made umpteen attempts to find a producer for this project.  Finally, Sai Korrapati agreed to produce the film. The film was officially launched on 9 September 2013 at Hyderabad as Production No. 3 of Vaaraahi Chalana Chitram banner. While Srinivas Avasarala made his directorial debut with this film, Naga Shourya was selected to play the lead role. This film was supposed to be his debut too, though his succeeding film Chandamama Kathalu released first. He went to the audition when Vaaraahi Chalana Chitram issued a casting call to give his final try as an actor after trying for almost 4 and a half years. He was selected after portraying a comedy scene narrated by the director A Telugu NRI Venkat C. Dileep, an alumnus of Savannah College of Art and Design and a camera assistant in a few Hollywood projects, was selected as the cinematographer of the film by Srinivas Avasarala on the recommendation of a common friend Bala Rajasekhar. This project marked his debut in Telugu cinema. Kalyani Koduri was selected as the music director of the film and the recording of the songs started on 1 October 2013. After rejecting 40 - 50 titles, the title Oohalu Gusagusalade, the title of a song from the N. T. Rama Rao film Bandipotu, was selected.

After the makers watched Madras Cafe, they approached Rashi Khanna who played the role of Ruby Singh, the wife of Major Vikram Singh played by John Abraham in that film for the role of the female lead. About her selection, she said "They called me for a narration. Initially I thought it would be more of a dancing role with little scope for acting. When I went down for the narration, I was excited to find that the film revolves around the girl who was there in practically every scene." She said that her role was "selfish, egoistic and stubborn" which she claimed to be very different from what she was. She added "Except that she's from Delhi, my real life persona has nothing in common with the role I played in the film. Initially, when I heard the script, I kept wondering why Prabhavati behaves in a certain manner and throughout the shooting process, Srinivas Avasarala kept justifying Prabhavati's actions because she comes with a lot of emotional baggage". Since the character of Prabhavathi is a fan of Mohammad Rafi, Srinivas brought his own collection of old books and cassettes to fill the frame for a particular scene in the film as they were not available in the market. Srinivas Avasarala played the role of a CEO of a TV channel in the film. Though Sai Korrapati did not want him to act in this film, he later agreed to Srinivas's inclusion after seeing the rushes of the scenes shot in his absence. The filming started in October 2013 and took place in Hyderabad and Visakhapatnam with the use of limited resources and low budget. Because of the same reason, lot of close up scenes were shot and the set properties in the background were changed so that each frame would look different as they did not have enough money to fill the entire frame with such properties. The cinematographer said that there were limited lights and they had to work hard to make the scenes appear natural using those lights during the shoot at Visakhapatnam.

Themes and influences
This film is an adaptation of 19th-century French play Cyrano de Bergerac. Writer and director Srinivas Avasarala is a fan of American artist and filmmaker Woody Allen, in the movie the lead characters stand near a poster of Annie Hall, a celebrated film directed by Woody Allen. The poster depicts a parodic Telugu version of the movie named Annie Hall Lone ("only in Annie Hall"), with Srinivas Avasarala listed as a cast member after Woody Allen and Diane Keaton. That scene, where the lead actor offers a lift to the lead actress when he doesn't have a motorcycle and she accepts though she has a scooter, was taken from Annie Hall.

Soundtrack

Kalyani Malik was selected as the music director of the film marking his first collaboration with Srinivas Avasarala. The recording of the songs started at Hyderabad on 1 October 2013 with the first one being rendered by Sunitha even before the start of the film's production. Though Anantha Sreeram was declared as the single card lyricist of the film during the launch of the movie, the final version featured Anantha Sreeram penning 2 of the 4 songs while the remaining two being penned by Sirivennela Sitaramasastri. The audio was launched at Hyderabad in a promotional audio launch event on 28 April 2014 on Vel Records Label. The soundtrack received positive response and were praised by the critics upon the film's release on 20 June 2014. Kalyani Koduri dedicated this soundtrack to music lovers on 21 June 2014 on the occasion of World's Music Day by releasing a press note.

Release
In early June 2014, the makers confirmed that the film would release on 20 June 2014 worldwide in theaters after being awarded with a clean U certificate from Central Board of Film Certification. The distribution rights of Nizam, West, Guntur, Nellore and Bangalore were acquired by Suresh Movies. Visakhapatnam & Krishna district distribution rights were acquired by Annapurna Distributions, East region distribution rights were acquired by 14 Reels Entertainment and Ceeded region rights were purchased by NVR Cinema. The Overseas theatrical distribution and screening rights were bought by CineGalaxy Inc., and the overseas theaters list was released by them on 18 June 2014. As a part of the film's promotion, 100 hoardings featuring the film's posters were used in Hyderabad alone and posters were also used in various bus shelters and were used as bus stickers. The film released in 200 theaters worldwide on 20 June 2014.

Reception
The film received positive reviews from critics. The Hindu gave a review stating "The tussle between a man who, despite all the hand-holding, can make a mess of expressing his love and the man who knows to charm his woman but is restricted by circumstances makes for an engaging watch. Well-written romantic comedies are rare in Telugu cinema. Oohalu Gusagusalade is an exception and a delight." The Times of India gave a review stating "At a run time of 143 minutes, Oohalu Gusagusalaade has just about the right proportion of romance and comedy to call it a film which has its heart at the right place. It's undoubtedly one of the better feel-good-romantic films in recent times" and rated the film 3.5/5. Oneindia Entertainment gave a review stating "Though Oohalu Gusagusalde has simple storyline, Srinivas Avasarala has created fantastic screenplay. The director has good grip on the narration of the whole show. Overall, Oohalu Gusagusalde is a good romantic comedy entertainer and it will impress audience in A centres. Go watch it this weekend" and rated the film 3.5/5. Deccan Chronicle gave a review stating "The climax scene and the comedy routines fall a bit flat, still this breezy romantic entertainer is breath of fresh air. After watching all the regular masala action films, you can watch this film for its clean comedy sans double meaning dialogues" and rated the film 3.5/5. IndiaGlitz gave a review stating "Oohalu Gusa Gusa Lade is an almost flawlessly written screenplay supported by deft execution. It is a rom-com that is high on writing and imaginative in terms of presentation" and rated the film 3.25/5. Sify gave a review stating "Oohalu Gusagusalade is told in lighter manner. It has good writing and crackling romantic scenes with soothing music. The film has good scripting with some witty lines. Overall it is comedy that saves the film."

Apart from critics, prominent celebrities too lauded the film. National Award winning director S. S. Rajamouli and Actor cum Hindupur MLA Nandamuri Balakrishna, actor N. T. Rama Rao Jr. praised the film's director and producer for their efforts. Venkat C. Dileep's cinematography was praised by award-winning cinematographers K. K. Senthil Kumar and P.G. Vinda. While K. K. Senthil Kumar appreciated the beach song for its colors and texture, P. G. Vinda appreciated the night photography.

Controversies
Despite the popularity of its Clean Master Android App, it was reported in 2014 that ads promoting Clean Master manipulate Android users with deceptive tactics when browsing websites within the app's advertising framework. In April 2014, Ferenc László Nagy from Sophos Labs captured some pop-up ads that led to Clean Master, warning the device had been infected with a virus.

In July 2014, Cheetah Mobile encouraged users to uninstall Google Chrome and replace it with Cheetah Mobile's own browser during Clean Master's clean up and optimization process. This practice allowed Cheetah Mobile to gain unfair position in the marketplace and led to a Google crackdown.

In December 2018, Cheetah Mobile was implicated in a massive click fraud scheme, leading Google to remove two of its apps from its Play Store. Cheetah Mobile has denied the charges. In February 2020, Google banned nearly 600 apps on the Play Store including all Cheetah Mobile's apps "for violating our disruptive ads policy and disallowed interstitial policy."

As of 10 March 2020, all apps made by Cheetah Mobile, along with the benchmarking AnTuTu apps, have been banned from the Google Play Store.

Cheetah Mobile's web browser mobile app, CM Browser, was banned in India on 29 June 2020 in the aftermath of the 2020–2021 China–India skirmishes.

title: William Prowting Roberts

text:
W. P. Roberts (1806–1871) was a noted Chartist who became known as the "attorney-general" of the coal miners in the 1840s.

Family

William Prowting Roberts was born in Chelmsford, Essex to Revd Thomas Roberts, who was head of the local grammar school, and to a daughter of William Prowting who was surgeon and treasurer of St Luke's Hospital for Lunatics.
He married Mary Moody (d. 1837), daughter of Revd William Moody of Bathamton House, Wiltshire, and had two children, a boy and a girl. He then later married Mary Hill Hopkins who he had two sons and two daughters with.

Chartism
Roberts established a legal practice in Bath, Somerset, where he became involved in local politics. He became the head of the Bath Working Men's Association. His involvement with the Chartist movement subsequently meant that he became friends with Henry Vincent. Roberts was a popular public speaker in the West Country where he also defended fellow Chartists in court. He himself was sentenced to two years of imprisonment in March 1840 after a turbulent meeting in Devizes, Wiltshire. He secured an early release in July 1840 and undeterred by imprisonment he continued his Chartist associations. He was delegate to the 1842 convention and was treasurer of the Chartist Co-operative Land Company. Roberts stood as Chartist candidate for the General Election 1847 and 1857. He arranged a speaking tour for John Frost, leader of the Newport Rising, around the United States.

Northumberland and Durham Miners' Union

Being one of the first solicitors to concentrate on Trade Unions, Roberts was appointed as the legal adviser for the Northumberland and Durham Miners' Union. He became popularly known as the miners' "attorney-general". His philosophy was simple: "We resist every individual act of oppression, even in cases we were sure of losing."

Roberts challenged the Bond, the oppressive terms of employment under which the miners worked. He won many legal battles against the Bond and gained notoriety for securing the release of pitmen from Thornley, Durham colliery in 1843, who had been imprisoned for breaking the Bond. He also attacked the Truck system in which miners were paid by kind rather than cash. Friedrich Engels described this as a "Crusade against despotic Justices of Peace and truck masters".
Roberts held an inquest into the Haswell colliery explosion, September 1844, in which 95 miners lost their lives. His accounts led to a government inquiry into mine safety.

During his time as a legal adviser to the mining union he edited the Miners' Monthly Magazine between March–July 1844. "In making this arrangement, Mr R's principle motive is to give an opportunity to the pitmen in that neighbourhood of consulting him without their having the trouble of coming to Newcastle."
He also contributed to the union journal, the Miners' Journal which later was named the Miners' Advocate.

Manchester
The coal owners severely weakened the Union after a prolonged dispute. The Union could no longer afford the services of Roberts. Roberts moved to Manchester in the summer of 1845 and became legal adviser to the Lancashire Miners' Association. He became friends and neighbours with Richard Marsden Pankhurst and later Annie Besant. He also notably fought cases involving trade unionists including the case involving engineers from Newton-le-Willows indicted for picketing. He also helped Karl Marx in his legal affairs. In 1854 he attacked the bill restricting trade on Sundays as a hypocritical encroachment on the liberties of the poor.

Last cases
Roberts was the legal adviser to the Miners' National Association from 1858 to 1863 where he was forced out by the president, Alexander MacDonald as his approach was too anachronistic and out of touch. The unions did not require a lawyer that could humiliate the employers' but a someone who could use the law to settle disagreements. The also did not like Roberts interfering with internal affairs.

However, he did succeed in the case of Janet Jones of Blaenau. Janet Jones had been forced to work for two years in the colliery without payment to repay her debts incurred by their Tommy Shop when her father died. Roberts actions in court led to her getting her wages and started a large campaign against the Truck system.

In October 1867 he acted for the Fenians who were tried for the murder of a policeman, he was taken into custody after the judge, Colin Blackburn, ordered that his conduct in court was unorderly. In December of the same year he secured the release of Ann Justice who was among the six Irish who were charged for the Clerkenwell explosion. Roberts helped the Irish in the battle against Irish-English racism.

His last notable case was in 1869 involving the miners at Monkwearmouth Colliery where he finally managed to abolish the Bill. In 1871 he published a pamphlet highlighting the dangers of the government's Trade Union Bill.

Later life
Dedicating himself to the poor, Roberts realised that it was impossible for most of the poor to live out proper Christian lives. He visited the Holy Land with his wife in 1862 and again in 1863 and lectured at Church of England societies. They moved to Heronsgate House in 1867 which was an old school built on O'Connorsville which was the first Chartist land settlement at Chorleywood, Hertfordshire. Roberts died there on 7 September 1871 and is buried in Chorleywood churchyard.

The European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies is a public health observatory established through an intergovernmental partnership, hosted by the World Health Organization (WHO) Regional Office for Europe, which specialises in the development of health systems within Europe.

The partnership includes the Governments of Austria, Belgium, Finland, Ireland, Norway, Slovenia, Sweden and the United Kingdom; the Veneto Region of Italy; the French National Union of Health Insurance Funds (UNCAM); the World Health Organization; the European Commission; the World Bank; the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE); and the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM). The observatory was established in 1998 by Josep Figueras, with colleagues Martin McKee, Elias Mossialos, and Richard Saltman, when Dr Jo E. Asvall, the then WHO Regional Director for Europe, approved its foundation.

The organization is dedicated to supporting evidence-based health policy-making through the analysis and dissemination of information on European health systems and by engaging directly with national policy-makers in order to promote health gain, solidarity, efficiency, quality, responsiveness, transparency, and integrity. It utilises and compares experiences from across Europe to identify and highlight health issues with the intention of encouraging debate, while assisting European powers in taking evidence-based decisions in order to tackle issues affecting public health.
The Observatory is composed of a steering committee, core management team, research policy group and staff. Its secretariat is based in Brussels and has offices in London (at LSE and LSHTM) and the Technical University of Berlin, bringing together a wide range of academics, policy-makers and practitioners to analyse trends in health policies and reforms.

The Observatory aims to shape the course of policy development, relying on national powers to act accordingly with the Observatory's findings, which are published in its comprehensive reviews of health systems (Health Systems in Transition or HiTs).
The health system profiles, compiled by the Observatory, cover the 53 member states of WHO European Region and several member countries of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). They are used and accessed by a wide international audience interested in comparing European and international health systems and policies.
The Observatory recognises the environmental, socio-political and socio-economic influences on health systems and public health, assessing how events such as the recent economic downturn or financial crisis have affected public health across Europe.
The Observatory has designed and manages the innovative Health Systems and Policy Monitor platform (HSPM). This platform is a collaborative venture which provides a detailed description of health systems and provides up to date information on reforms and changes that are particularly policy relevant. The platform allows country by country comparisons in key areas of public health.

Activities

Health in Transition Series (HiT)
HiT health system reviews are reports generally focused on one country. The report is a detailed description of the country's health system, analyzing the health issues the system's ability to deal with them, often outlining reform and policy options available to the policymakers in that country. The series is regularly updated and covers the countries of the WHO European Region as well as some additional OECD countries (the full list of HiTs and their date of publication are available online. The studies are available in an English version and some reports are also available in another official language, mainly Russian.

Health Systems and Policy Monitor (HSPM)
The Health Systems and Policy Monitor is a platform allowing policy makers, practitioners, and academics to study and understand the changes in national health systems across Europe. It allows the user to extract specific information on European health systems and directly compare the results from different countries.

The platform makes the Observatory's HiT series accessible online, it follows health system changes in real time, as they develop via posts from experts at the Health Systems and Policy Monitor Network. It also provides insights into ongoing health reforms so that HSPM users can identify and understand shifts in policy across the Region. The Observatory also grants access to the Elsevier Health Policy Journal's articles published by HSPM members.

The HSPM platform features rolling updates by its Network members for:

 Belgium (KCE - Belgian Health Care Knowledge Centre)
 Denmark (the University of Copenhagen and University of Southern Denmark)
 France (URC Eco Île-de-France - Unité de recherche clinique en économie de la santé and IRDES- Institute for Research and Information in Health Economics)

Studies
The Observatory's studies cover an extensive range of topics from children's health care to issues surrounding chronic and communicable diseases to the financial constraints on health systems across Europe. Although these studies do not ensure the implementation of new reforms and policies across Europe they are vital in highlighting, explaining and disseminating key data, from which policymakers across Europe can use to make relevant and progressive changes to national health systems.

A few titles include:
 European child health services and systems. Lessons without borders

A full list of the Observatory's studies are available online.

Policy Briefs and Summaries
The Observatory also publishes specific Policy briefs and summaries. These are small reports catering to the needs of health policymakers and are used to inform them and to provide relevant and available evidence surrounding specific issues. They follow a systematic way of organizing the information and tend to concentrate more on the relevance of certain policies and the implementation of the policy options.

These are some examples of the most recent titles from the Observatory's set of policy briefs and summaries (a full list is available online):

title: The 5th Wave (film)

text:
The 5th Wave is a 2016 American science fiction action film directed by J Blakeson, with a screenplay by Susannah Grant, Akiva Goldsman, and Jeff Pinkner, based on Rick Yancey's 2013 novel of the same name. The film stars Chloë Grace Moretz, Nick Robinson, Ron Livingston, Maggie Siff, Alex Roe, Maria Bello, Maika Monroe, and Liev Schreiber.

Development began in March 2012, when Columbia Pictures picked up the film rights to the trilogy of novels, with Graham King's production company GK Films and Tobey Maguire's Material Pictures. Filming took place in Atlanta, Georgia, from October 2014 to January 2015. The 5th Wave was released on January 22, 2016, in the United States by Sony Pictures Releasing. Despite negative reviews from critics, the film was moderately successful, grossing $109.9 million worldwide against a $38–54 million budget.

Plot

Ohio high-schooler Cassie Sullivan, armed with an M4 carbine, emerges from the woods to raid an abandoned gas station. Upon entering, she hears a voice calling for help. She finds a wounded man, he points a gun at her, then each of the two asks the other to put one's own weapon down. When he pulls his other hand out from under his jacket, she mistakes the metallic glint of a Christian cross for that of a gun, so she kills him: the screen then cuts to black, and her backstory begins.

A colossal alien spaceship is circling Earth, guided by extraterrestrial life referred to as "The Others". Ten days later, The Others unleash their 1st Wave, an electromagnetic pulse that disables all electrical power and communications worldwide, and shuts off the engines of moving vehicles, including planes in mid-flight. The 2nd Wave has The Others manipulate the planet's geology and fault lines, causing earthquakes and megatsunamis that destroy coastal cities and islands, including Hallandale Beach, London, Bangkok and New York City. In Ohio, Lake Erie floods, but Cassie and her younger brother Sam are able to escape by climbing a tree. For the 3rd Wave, The Others modify a strain of avian influenza and spread it across the planet via birds. The population is decimated, with Cassie's mother one of the victims. In the 4th wave, The Others possess common humans and start killing other humans.

Cassie, Sam and their father find a summer camp in use as a refuge in the woods with roughly 300 survivors. A few days later, an Army unit with working vehicles rolls into the camp. The unit's commander, Colonel Vosch, claims there is an imminent threat of a 5th Wave and they will take the children to safety at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, intending to bring the buses back to retrieve the adults. Cassie is separated from Sam, and witnesses the Army massacring all the adults, her father included. Cassie makes her way toward the base, but is shot in the leg by a sniper and passes out. About a week later, she wakes up in the farmhouse of a young man named Evan Walker, who saved her. Cassie leaves towards the base with Evan, but learns that he is an Other, sent years ago as a sleeper agent and merged his consciousness into a human host. The sleepers roam their designated zones, killing human survivors. Evan admits his humanity was reactivated when he saw her, disagrees with the invasion and lets her leave. He warns that Colonel Vosch and the military are possessed by the consciousness of individual Others.

At the base, the military have used deception and technology to convince the rescued children that the humans outside the base have been possessed. They provide military training to the children, forming them into squads to go on kill missions outside the base. Sam has been placed into a squad led by Ben, a boy Cassie had a crush on, along with Ringer, a tough teenage girl, Dumbo, who survived the 2nd wave, and Teacup. While out on a kill mission, Ringer removes her military implant, causing her to register as an Other-possessed human on the squad's scopes. The squad deduces the plan to have them kill real unpossessed humans, making them the 5th Wave. Ben sends his squad into the woods and returns to base, claiming his squad was killed, for the purpose of retrieving Sam, who was left behind. Ben confronts Colonel Vosch about child warriors being the 5th Wave and Cassie kills Sergeant Reznik during her one-on-one indoctrination spiel. Ben and Cassie find each other and leave to find Sam. Evan sets off numerous bombs and advises them to quickly find Sam before the destruction of the entire facility. Colonel Vosch and the surviving military Others evacuate with the human children by military aircraft. Cassie, Ben and Sam escape, with help from Ringer, just as Evan completes the destruction of the base. Ben's squad is reunited, and Cassie ponders the strength of hope as humanity's driving force for survival.

Differences between the novel and the film
This film adaptation of the novel comprises several major differences from the book:

 Omitted from the film is Crisco, a major character who is killed in front of Cassie in the novel.
 Chris, a boy whom Ben befriends but later kills, was also cut from the film.
 The novel indicates Colonel Vosch killed Cassie's father while the film does not.
 In the novel, an attack kills Ben's family at home. The film has them dying from plagues during the 3rd Wave.

Cast

Production

Development
In March 2012, Columbia Pictures picked up the film rights to the trilogy, with Graham King and Tobey Maguire attached as producers. On April 15, 2014, it was officially announced that Chloë Grace Moretz would star as Cassie Sullivan, and that J Blakeson would direct from a script by Susannah Grant. From June through August 2014, Nick Robinson and Alex Roe joined the film as male protagonists Ben Parish and Evan Walker, respectively, while Liev Schreiber was cast as the villain. Over the following months, Maika Monroe, Zackary Arthur, Tony Revolori, Ron Livingston, Maggie Siff, and Talitha Bateman joined the film.

Filming
Principal photography began on October 18, 2014, in Atlanta, Georgia. According to production designer Jon Billington, the production team scouted a number of cities but Atlanta was ultimately selected for its "visual diversity and interest". A total of $21.7 million was spent shooting in Georgia. 967 local crew members were hired to help with the production of the film, and they spent 17,843 man-days working on the film. Billington designed the various sets used throughout the movie around the Cassie and her story. He viewed the film as "Cassie's 'Odyssey'" and envisioned five "worlds" that she travels through linearly. A few scenes taking place in the forest were shot on the Jackson trail, outside of Winder, Georgia, US. Three months after production began, on January 11, a planned explosion of a bus in downtown Macon, Georgia, for the film went awry when it spread wider than planned, blowing out more than forty windows on Cotton Avenue, collapsing ceilings, destroying store fronts, setting one building on fire, and leaving soot on the brick buildings as well. The production company promised to cover all damages caused by the 3:45 am incident, but the work that was done was done badly and remained incomplete twenty-eight months later. Filming officially ended on January 17, 2015.

Livett's Launches provided filming support for the scene showing the destruction of Tower Bridge by a tsunami. In addition to London, Miami, Bangkok, Beijing, and New York can all be seen during the Second Wave as they are destroyed by a giant tsunami wave following the earthquake.

Music
In April 2015, it was announced that Henry Jackman would compose the original soundtrack for the film. Notable songs by popular artists featured in the film include Sia, Coldplay, Pitbull, Ne-Yo, Madeon,  Passion Pit, and Mark Ronson. Part of the song Don't Panic by Coldplay can be heard when Ben and Sam sing it together in an attempt to lull Sam to sleep. Time of Our Lives by Pitbull ft. Ne-Yo, Pay No Mind by Madeon ft. Passion Pit, and Summer Breaking by Mark Ronson ft. Kevin Parker.  can by heard during a house party flashback involving Cassie. Alive by Sia serves as the film's end credit song and was used in promotional material for the film

Release
Sony Pictures originally set the film a release date for January 29, 2016. On April 30, 2015, the release date was changed from its original release date of January 29, 2016, to an earlier date of January 15, 2016. However, in December 2015, the release date was pushed back from January 15, 2016, to January 22, 2016. It was released on January 14, 2016, in Australia, Germany and the Middle East.

Marketing and promotion
An international trailer for the film was released on Sony Pictures' official YouTube account on September 1, 2015. Standard marketing techniques were used to promote the film such as movie posters, trailers, and TV advertising. The film also had several pages on social media including Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Lead actress Chloë Grace Moretz was featured on the cover of February 2016 issue of teenage lifestyle magazine Marie Claire to promote the film. The film's actors were also featured in several interviews with various YouTube channels such as IGN and FilmisNow

On May 3, 2016, it was announced via social media that the 5th Wave was available for purchase on Blu-Ray and Digital formats that same day. The film was released online on various video sites two weeks prior to this.

Reception

Box office
The 5th Wave grossed $34.9 million in North America and $75 million in other territories for a worldwide total of $109.9 million, against a production budget of $54 million.

The film was released in North America on January 22, 2016, alongside Dirty Grandpa and The Boy, and was projected to gross $10–14 million from 2,908 theaters in its opening weekend. It made $475,000 from its Thursday night screenings and $3.5 million on its first day. It went on to gross $10.3 million in its opening weekend, finishing 6th at the box office.

Critical response
The review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes reported that 17% of critics have given the film a positive review based on 143 reviews, with an average rating of 4.22/10. The site's critics consensus reads, "With unimpressive effects and plot points seemingly pieced together from previous dystopian YA sci-fi films, The 5th Wave ends up feeling like more of a limp, derivative wriggle." On Metacritic, the film has a score of 33 out of 100 based on 30 critics, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews". Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "B−" on an A+ to F scale.

Jeffrey M. Anderson of The San Francisco Examiner said of the film, "Every plot turn and every line of dialogue has been borrowed from somewhere else, and everything is utterly, totally predictable", noting how the film "steals material from (but does not stop at) the Twilight, Hunger Games and Divergent franchises." Anthony Lane of The New Yorker faulted the film as a "marketing wheeze dressed up as an art form, and stupendously summarized by the image of Cassie hurrying through the woods carrying both an assault rifle and a Teddy bear", adding that the film "appears to have been designed by some crazed Oedipal wing of the N.R.A."

Rob Vaux of the Sci-Fi Movie Page gave the film one star out of five, saying, "The Young Adult adaptation craze hits a low point with this aimless, purposeless alien invasion story that wastes a fine cast." In the San Francisco Chronicle, Mick LaSalle wrote, "rarely does a movie that fails so utterly start so well", falling apart ahead of the fifth wave. As to a possible trilogy, "if we're not really vigilant, and look to the skies, and prepare, they're going to make at least two more of these things. We've got to beat back the invasion now". Eddie Cockrell of Variety gave the film a mixed review, saying, "The 5th Wave is an effectively decent post-apocalyptic, young adult, world-in-the-balance survival thriller" with an "arrestingly original spin on trendy genre tropes", although he suggested that fans of the book may have "issues with what has been edited".

Brian Truitt of USA Today gave the film a positive review, stating that it "is an inviting sci-fi invasion" and "nicely stokes the imagination of a new generation of science-fiction movie nerds". He praised Moretz and Robinson as "equally strong" co-leads. Shannon Harvey of The West Australian also gave the film a positive review, writing, "It's actually got a lot going for it, from acting prodigy Chloe Grace Moretz as the kind of tough but fragile heroine you can cheer for to handsome production values, several plot twists". Michael Patterson of Moviepilot gave the film a positive review, calling it a "thrilling story of survival".

Author of The 5th Wave Rick Yancy was heavily involved with the film's production from the beginning and seemed to be pleased with the final product saying "The filmmakers were very cognizant of the fact that what really sets the story apart is the heart of it". He believed that fans of the book would be "... pleased with how the filmmakers have captured the characters and story".

title: Helter Skelter Publishing

text:
Helter Skelter Publishing is a British publisher specialising in rock music.

Helter Skelter was founded as a bookshop by Sean Body in 1995, who specifically chose the location of 4, Denmark Street as it had previously housed Regent Sounds Studios, which had recorded early work by the Rolling Stones. The shop specialised in books and fanzines covering Bob Dylan, which at one point accounted for 40% of its sales. It also sold sheet music and music-related artwork. Despite predictions it would not appeal to a wide market and be "a boys' anorak paradise", a report in The Independent suggested that 20% of customers were women.

Although the shop was popular, it was unable to cope with a 40% rise in shop rates, and it closed at the end of 2004. Body died of leukemia in April 2008. However, the name survives as a publishing company.

title: Break Free (song)

text:
"Break Free" is a song by American singer Ariana Grande featuring Russian-German music producer Zedd. Written by Savan Kotecha and its producers Zedd and Max Martin, it premiered on July 2, 2014, on Total Ariana Live, MTV's revival of Total Request Live. The song was made available by digital download later that day and was serviced to contemporary hit and rhythmic radio on July 8, 2014, as the second single from Grande's second studio album My Everything (2014). Musically, the song explores EDM and electro genres, a musical departure for Grande, whose discography is primarily composed of pop and R&B.

"Break Free" peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Grande's third consecutive top-ten from My Everything after "Problem" and "Bang Bang", and fourth overall in the US. Similarly, "Break Free" hit number three on the Australian ARIA Charts, and number five on the Canadian Hot 100 and the New Zealand Singles Chart. Overall, the song attained top-ten peaks in multiple countries including Austria, Czech Republic, Finland, Ireland, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Slovakia, and Sweden, as well as reaching the top twenty in Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Japan, Poland, Scotland, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.

The song has been certified triple Platinum by the RIAA and has sold 1.9 million copies in the United States as of 2018, making it Grande's seventh single to have sold over a million. "Break Free" also marked a milestone in Grande's career, as it entered the top ten on the Billboard Hot 100 the same week "Bang Bang" and "Problem" were charting. Consequently, she became the second lead female artist in chart history to simultaneously hold three positions in the top ten on the Hot 100 after Adele.

Production and composition

"Break Free" was written by Savan Kotecha, Zedd and Max Martin and produced by the latter two.
The song was originally intended for a male singer, due to her working on his 2013 single "Say Somethin". In a May 2014 interview during which he talked about "Break Free", Zedd spoke about wanting to collaborate with Grande after hearing her voice for the first time at a Universal showcase. He said, "I was backstage and I heard someone sing. And I didn't know who it was, and I just said 'I want to make a song with whoever is singing right now.' I didn't know who it was, and it turned out to be her. And luckily, now there's a song!" Grande first spoke about collaborating on a song with Zedd in late April in an interview with Billboard. She described the song as "fantastic and super-experimental for me" and further stated, "I never thought I'd do an EDM song, but that was an eye-opening experience, and now all I want to do is dance." She later talked about the song at Wango Tango and shared that she wanted it to be the next single.

According to the sheet music published at Musicnotes.com by Kobalt Music Services America, "Break Free" is written in the key of G minor. Ariana Grande commented on the seemingly nonsensical lyrics, telling Time magazine, "I fought [Max Martin] on it the whole time.  I am not going to sing a grammatically incorrect lyric, help me, God! Max was like, 'It's funny — just do it!'"

Release
On May 10, 2014, during an interview after her performance at Wango Tango, Grande revealed that she wanted "Break Free" to be her next single after "Problem". She said, "I did a song with Zedd, who I just met for the first time here, and I'm really excited about that song. I really want that to be the second single. My whole team is like, 'Oh it's too early to pick a new single,' but I'm really leaning towards that one. I love that song so much. He's fantastic and the song is really fun."

Grande began dropping hints about her second single on social media throughout the month of June but did not confirm that it was her Zedd collaboration until June 21, at which point she also revealed the song's name on Twitter. To build hype, Grande started an online countdown for the ten days leading up to "Break Free's" release. On June 28, Grande uploaded a teaser video with a snippet of the song to her Instagram account.

"Break Free" premiered on the one-day revival of the MTV show Total Request Live in a half-hour special titled Total Ariana Live on July 2, 2014. It was made available for purchase as a digital download on iTunes a few hours after the TRL premiere. It reached the number one spot on the iTunes Sales Chart soon after its release.

Critical reception
Rachel Sonis from Idolator gave the song a positive review calling it "the club anthem of the summer" and thought that Grande herself is "dipping her toes into exciting new waters for her upcoming record." Lewis Corner from Digital Spy gave the song four stars out of five and said that the track is "too catchy to be generic". Larry Fitzmaurice from Pitchfork also liked the song praising both the production part of the song and the vocal saying that, "from the zippy opening synth line to the verse's insistent pounding, 'Break Free' certainly invites comparisons to Swedish pop mastermind Robyn; as ever, Grande brings her own skyscraping voice in top form, so vocally the comparisons don't stick." He compared the message of the song to Kelly Clarkson's "Since U Been Gone".

"Break Free" was nominated at the 2014 Teen Choice Awards in the Break-Up Song category. It was also nominated for Top Dance/Electronic Song at the 2015 Billboard Music Awards.

Accolades

Commercial performance
In the United States, "Break Free" debuted at number 15 on the Billboard Hot 100 with 161,000 digital downloads sold in its first week, entering the Digital Songs chart at number five. Following the release of the song's official music video on August 12, "Break Free" soared on the Hot 100 from number 18 to number four, becoming Grande's fourth top-ten single and her third consecutive top-ten single of 2014. Grande's other singles, "Bang Bang" and "Problem" were also in the Billboard Hot 100 top ten that week, placing at number ten and seven respectively. With three songs in the top ten, Ariana Grande became the second female lead artist to have three singles in the top ten since Adele in 2012. In that same week, "Break Free" jumped from 14 to four on the Billboard Digital Songs charts with 116,000 digital downloads sold, along with "Bang Bang" and the promotional single "Best Mistake" (featuring Big Sean) ranking at numbers two and six respectively. Consequently, Grande became the first female artist to have three songs placing in the top six of the Billboard Digital Songs chart simultaneously and the second overall artist since Michael Jackson. This also marked Zedd's second top ten and his highest-peaking single to date in the US. "Break Free" also peaked at number three on the Dance Club Songs, while topping the Dance/Electronic Songs chart for nine weeks, becoming Grande's and Zedd's first number one in the latter. The song has sold 1.9 million copies in the nation as of April 2018.

Internationally, the song also reached the top ten in Australia, Austria, Canada, Finland, Ireland, Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, and Sweden.

Impact
In March 2022, "Break Free" has received attention in the Philippines during a campaign rally for presidential candidate, Vice President Leni Robredo and her running mate, Sen. Francis Pangilinan. A video of the crowd singing "Break Free" went viral, catching the attention of Grande herself. Grande posted the video on Instagram, stating "I could not believe this was real. I love you more than words". An estimated 137,000 people attended the rally.

Music video

The music video was filmed from June 10–12, 2014. It was directed by Chris Marrs Piliero. Having an intergalactic theme, Grande stated that the video was inspired by the 1968 sci-fi film Barbarella, the Star Wars series and space in general. The plot consists of Grande on a fictional planet renouncing her allegiance to an evil regime of extraterrestrials and freeing a group of prisoners from their cages. She subsequently attacks a giant robot using missiles, but the robot managed to release its hand to catch her, bringing her to the planet's overlord. Her character succeeds in defeating the villain, and the clip ends with Grande and the prisoners she rescued flying away in a spaceship, partying with the crew, as Beats by Dre products are visible in the scene. The song's producer Zedd makes an appearance.

It premiered on YouTube on August 12, 2014. It surpassed 100 million views on October 5, making it Grande's third Vevo-certified music video after "The Way" and "Problem". It made its televised debut three days later on Disney Channel during its original movie How to Build a Better Boy. As of May 2019, the video has received over 1 billion views on YouTube.

Live performances
Grande first performed at the "IHeartRadio Theater at the L.A Honda Stage" on August 22, 2014. She performs the song for the second time at the 31st annual MTV Video Music Awards on August 24, 2014. She then went on to perform it on several television shows, including America's Got Talent on August 27, on Today on August 29, and on The X Factor Australia on September 8. She also performed it at the iHeartRadio Music Festival on September 19. She performed a half acoustic, half upbeat version of "Break Free" on Saturday Night Live on September 27, 2014. Grande once again performed "Break Free" at the 2014 MTV Europe Music Awards on November 9, 2014, opening up the show along with her other single "Problem". Grande performed the song at the American Music Awards on November 23, 2014. "Break Free" was part of Grande's set list for the Honeymoon Tour, the Dangerous Woman Tour and One Love Manchester, a benefit concert held on June 4, 2017, for the victims of the Manchester Arena bombing.

The song was also performed at Grande's Sweetener World Tour on all dates from March 18 to November 22, 2019, before it was removed.

title: One Crowded Night

text:
One Crowded Night is a 1940 drama film directed by Irving Reis.

Plot Summary
In a motor court in the Mojave Desert we are introduced to the Matthews consisting of Mae, the wife of a convict, Annie, her sister, Ma and Pa, their parents, and Mae's young son Bobby. They used to live in Duluth but moved after Mae's husband, Jim, was jailed for manslaughter. Now, Mae and Annie work at the diner while Ma and Pa work the tourist lodging. Annie hates the town and cannot wait to go back to Duluth, much to the dismay of her local admirer, Vince Sanders, the gas station attendant. Next we meet Gladys, another diner waitress, who is engaged to Joe Miller, a truck driver. She is lodging with a traveller named Ruth Matson, who began having contractions while at the rest stop, and had no choice but to stay until the birth of her child. Through her pain, she calls out the name of her husband, "Fred", whose location is unknown.

Mae receives a letter that Jim will be receiving parole, though the joy is short lived as Jim arrives at the rest stop in person - he has broken out of prison, his parole is now void, and Mae now has no choice but to hide him. At the same time, Pa lodges a man named Brother 'Doc' Joseph, a medicine peddler, who offers Pa his wares in lieu of payment. In reality, the medicine is a scam and 'Doc' is a drunk conman.

Three more travellers arrive into town - two detectives and a man named Fred Matson, who is being escorted to San Diego by the detectives for deserting the Navy. Shortly thereafter, two more men arrive - Lefty and Mat Denlen - gunmen on the hunt for Jim Andrews. As Gladys enters the gunmen's room to change the towels, Lefty confronts her with the knowledge she is living under a fake identity and threatens to blackmail her if she does not help them find Jim. She agrees to help, though she is lying.

That night, Detective Lt. McDermott informs Pa that 'Doc' is a known drunk who lost his job as a doctor. However, with Ruth due to give birth, 'Doc' is the only hope she has for a safe delivery. Gladys is called to the gunmen's cabin, but as she walks in she is noticed by Bobby who cries to her about the "strange man" in his house. Lefty realizes he is referring to Jim and sends Bobby away, turning to kill Gladys for lying to them. At that moment, Joe arrives to pick up Gladys for their wedding ceremony and Lefty tells her if she can't send him away, they will both be killed. She succeeds in sending him away, but on her way back to the gunmen's cabin she instead runs into the detectives' cabin at the last second. A shootout begins between Jim, the detectives, and the gunmen, that concludes with Lefty and Mat being killed and Jim surrendering to the detectives.

Jim explains that Lefty and Mat had framed him for the murder he was sent to jail for and his name is cleared. Fred hears the sounds of his wife and reunites with her, neither realizing the other had been there the whole time. Thanks to 'Doc', their baby was successfully delivered. Detective Lt. McDermott suggests that Gladys skip town to avoid the backlash of her true identity being revealed, but Joe stops her. He heard the story on the radio and wishes to marry her anyway, and she agrees. Vince and Annie decide to start a relationship, and the film ends with 'Doc' leaving town, having just poured his "medicine" in his gas tank.

title: RIPOR2

text:
RHO family interacting cell polarization regulator 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RIPOR2 gene.

Function

The protein encoded by this gene stimulates the formation of a non-mitotic multinucleate syncytium from proliferative cytotrophoblasts during trophoblast differentiation. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2013].

Clinical significance

Mutations in RIPOR2 are associated to hearing loss.
