LHASA, Feb.1 (Xinhua) -- Tseyang wants a bank loan to open a new restaurant in the center of Xigaze as her current restaurant in the city outskirts does not receive as many customers as she hoped.

The Tibetan woman, 51, previously lived in Zham, a border town in Tibet Autonomous Region, neighboring Nepal, but was relocated to a new community in Xigaze after a magnitude 8.1 earthquake hit Nepal on April 25, 2015. The quake severely damaged Zham port, once a major trade hub between the region and Nepal.

Like other quake-hit residents, Tseyang's family now lives in a government-funded apartment in Xigaze, Tibet's second largest city.

One month after moving, Tseyang partnered with three housewives and opened a Nepalese restaurant near Zham Mall, which was built with local government help for quake-hit border trade merchants.

"I encouraged them to start up a business together. And opening a special restaurant with Nepalese food is a good choice," Tseyang said.

Luckily, they received aid worth 30,000 yuan (4,374 U.S.dollars) from a local hospital to outfit the restaurant. The government exempted the rental fees and tax, and they made a profit, even in the first month of operation.

The restaurant was temporarily closed as the nearby shopping center was shut down during Spring Festival. It will reopen on Feb. 9.

With her husband in poor health, Tseyang has to earn income to support their son Dradul who will graduate from a university in central China's Hubei Province this year.

"We cannot just wait for aid," she said, stressing that employment was important to improving their lives.

At the new Zham community, displaced residents each receive a government resettlement fee of 15 yuan per day, and other subsidies such as a minimum living allowance and ecological compensation.

More than 200 people have found jobs in the new community.

Tseyang, also head of the community's women federation, aims to help more displaced people find jobs. The community has more than 100 women in their 40s.

After conducting a survey in the city center, she found there was potential for Nepalese restaurants.

"The current site is a bit far from the town center and the flow of people is not so big, but opening restaurants in the city center means high rental fees. So we need bank loans," she said. "It would be much better if we could have funding support for startups."

As Caesar sits astride a horse rallying his legions to battle you'd be forgiven for thinking you were watching a Roman-era war epic - except that the protagonist is a chimpanzee.

War for the Planet of the Apes Nike Air Vapormax Blanche Pas Cher , the third installment of the rebooted simian sci-fi franchise, opens on Friday to reviews lauding some of the most breathtaking visual effects ever seen in cinema.

Behind the photo-real apes is Weta Digital, a pioneering Wellington-based CGI studio founded by Peter Jackson that has seen its reputation grow steadily since its groundbreaking performance-capture work on his The Lord of the Rings movies.

Filmed against the stark snowy vistas of Alberta and British Columbia Nike Air Vapormax Femme Pas Cher , War sees director Matt Reeves unleash the rapidly evolving simians into a world boiling over with divisions and rage.

A band of soldiers led by a battle-hardened loose cannon - Woody Harrelson channeling Marlon Brando's Colonel Kurtz - launches an all-out attack to destroy the apes once and for all.

The movie is driven by Andy Serkis as the majestic Caesar, reprising a role for which he has drawn even more acclaim than for his other digital characters, Gollum in Rings and King Kong.

""Physically in this film Nike Air Vapormax Homme Pas Cher , Caesar is much more upright and he uses his hands a lot more now, so he's more like a human being in ape skin,"" Serkis says in the production notes.

""But as his intelligence and abilities have grown Nike Air Vapormax Pas Cher , the things he feels and remembers have become more daunting to him.""

Digital fur

As in the previous films, Serkis wore a gray bodysuit and facial recognition dots that captured the tiniest nuances of movement, gesture and emotion of the apes.

The 53-year-old actor Nike Air Vapormax Grise Grossiste , whom many believe should have won an Oscar for his pioneering work, has always maintained that there is no difference between playing a part in a motion-capture suit and performing in costume and makeup.

""You're not just standing in for the role until the magic's done later on. You're not just representing the character, you are the character for real Nike Air Vapormax Noir Grossiste ,"" he says in a behind-the-scenes featurette released recently by Fox.

War features a dozen key ape characters that interact with increasing sophistication, not just with each other, but with their environment Nike Air Vapormax Blanche Grossiste , including falling snow.

The crew included a team of 50 visual effects personnel, a 10-person camera unit and an army of data wranglers, surveyors and photographers who 3D-scanned every inch of every set and location.

They crafted an array of more than 1 Nike Air Vapormax Femme Grossiste ,400 highly complex effects shots, deploying advanced software bringing new levels of complexity to how digital fur behaves and interacts with the world.

A newly built toolset called ""Manuka physLight"" modeled with pinpoint accuracy how cameras pick up and respond to light so that the crew were able to light the apes similarly to how a cinematographer would light a soundstage.

The crew studied how snow sticks to fur, clumps on it Nike Air Vapormax Homme Grossiste , falls off and reacts as the apes walk through their wintry environments. Caesar alone had almost a million strands of hair.

Towering effects

""It looks insanely realistic,"" said Serkis. ""It's just such a brilliant technology and I've embraced it. I actively want to push the boundaries so that this movie is the most thrilling on every single level.""
