The Planet of the Apes franchise features many characters that appear in one or more works. Main characters. Originally named Milo after Dr. Milo, who travelled back in time with Cornelius and Zira to the Earth of Taylor's era, he was reared by his human foster father. Armando, a traveling circus owner who gave Cornelius and Zira sanctuary when Zira went into labor in the final act of Escape from the Planet of the Apes. Before departing, Zira switched the infant Milo with a young chimpanzee recently born to Armando's primitive chimpanzee, Heloise. Heloise's baby was killed, along with Zira, by the human Dr. Otto Hasslein. After Cornelius kills Hasslein, he is shot by a Marine Corps sniper. Milo speaks his first word, . His false identity secure, Milo grew up as a mute acrobat. In Conquest of the Planet of the Apes. In the opening minutes of Conquest, he and Armando are visiting a large city for the first time, and Armando leads him around on a chain. In private, though, Caesar stands nearly erect, and he chats back and forth with Armando like a father and son. Armando critiques Caesar's . Monkeys at first took their place, then gradually apes, who progressed from companions to household helpers, and eventually to a state of slavery. Caesar tries to take what he sees (groups of apes being dispersed, chimps and orangutans being scolded or punished for honest mistakes or for exhibiting apelike behavior) in stride, but when he sees a gorilla beaten by police, then shocked with a cattle prod, he impulsively cries out . Caesar panics and runs away, leading them to suspect he understands what has occurred — and perhaps he can speak. Armando is arrested, but is later released and rejoins Caesar momentarily. He knows now their charade (that Caesar is a mute, primitive ape) might have failed, and instructs Caesar to hide among his own and join a shipment of apes brought in by boat, if Armando cannot convince the authorities that Caesar is harmless and only ran away because of the commotion. Armando goes downtown, to try to bluff his way out of trouble. When he fails to return, Caesar infiltrates a shipment of apes. Passing his conditioning with flying colors, Caesar is next sold to Governor Breck, supervised by his assistant Mr. Mac. Donald, ironically an African- American descended from slaves. When Breck decides to formally name him, he takes out a reference book, turns to a page and points to a name at random, then bids Caesar to do likewise. Caesar chooses his adopted name, pretending to do so randomly, and is so registered. Next he is assigned to the city's . When Caesar is belatedly traced and discovered not to have been part of any ape shipment, he is captured and tortured by Breck, to see if he is indeed the talking offspring of two talking apes. Mac. Donald excuses himself from the scene and changes the breaker settings for the electroshock table Caesar is wired to. He cannot prevent Caesar from being shocked to the point that he finally chokes out the words . Hours later, much of the city is in flames, the police and military have been beaten down, and the apes are in control, as Caesar predicts will follow around the world when word spreads. Mac. Donald tries to dissuade Caesar from further violence, while Lisa becomes the next ape to speak, telling Caesar . Screenwriter Paul Dehn stated that the tear on Caesar's statue at the end of the film was to tell the audience that Caesar's efforts ultimately failed. The trade journal described the new film as being about . A hyper- intelligent chimp raised by humans incites a worldwide ape revolution and causes the downfall of humankind. He wanted to make a hard science fiction film about genetic engineering, and use computer- generated imagery to portray Caesar's evolution. In writing the script, screenwriters Amanda Silver and Rick Jaffa explored whether to make Caesar a talking character. Will Rodman (James Franco) is working on a cure for Alzheimer's by performing tests on apes for a pharmaceutical company in the San Francisco Bay Area. One of the first test subjects is Caesar's mother, Bright Eyes, who is captured in Africa at the beginning of the film (also depicted in an online comic strip shortly before the movie's release). After Bright Eyes is killed trying to protect her newborn child (an action mistaken by lab security as her having run amok), all other test apes are ordered destroyed; however, the sympathetic ape handler, Franklin, rescues Caesar and gives him to Will, who smuggles the baby chimp out of the lab and takes him to his home. Caesar spends years living with Rodman as his father and, from his time as an infant, shows intelligence that far surpasses humans at his age. After an incident where he attacks their aggressive neighbor who was being threatening to Will's dementia- suffering father, he is eventually taken and forced into an ape . Caesar eventually proves smart enough to break free from his cage, even yelling his first word of . Unlike the original virus, ALZ- 1. ALZ- 1. 13 is inhaled (therefore, airborne). They escape the sanctuary and are joined by other captive apes from the zoo and the lab, rallying to escape San Francisco, violently clashing with police. Like his appearance in the fourth and fifth films, Caesar is shown to be compassionate, forbidding his followers from killing innocent humans and those who don't seek to harm them. This clashes with the mindset of another ape, Koba, who is shown to be somewhat maniacal in his resistance. At the film's conclusion, the apes escape to the redwood forest outside the city, with Rodman and Caesar sharing an emotional farewell as Caesar decides to live free among his own kind, telling Rodman . Will's neighbor, a pilot, nose dripping blood and apparently infected with the ALZ- 1. San Francisco International Airport for his flight. While ominous music plays, a graphic traces the spread of the humanity- killing virus to Paris and around the globe via airline flight routes. In Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. Now middle- aged and raising a teenage son, Caesar leads his apes on a hunting expedition. He attempts to teach his son, Blue Eyes how to hunt without getting hurt but this doesn't go to plan. Blue Eyes, who continuously ignores his father's orders, wanders off and is attacked by a bear. Caesar, seeing his son in trouble rushes to help him but he too struggles with the bear. He calls for his friend Koba who spears the bear in the back, between the shoulder blades, killing it. Caesar emerges from under the bear's corpse and attempts to check Blue Eyes' injuries only to be brushed off. Arriving back in the village, Caesar is summoned home by his wife Cornelia's midwives. Hurrying home, the Ape king joins his wife just as she gives birth to their second son. Overjoyed by the reality of having a second son, Caesar summons Blue Eyes over, telling him, . Maurice congratulates Caesar over the birth of his new son. Caesar, taking his best friend's comments in stride, smiles. The conversation steers away from the boys and turns to the humans. Maurice asks if Caesar misses the humans in which Caesar replies that he does sometimes. Maurice then recounts everything that has happened in the last ten years as the human appearances have become less and less. Caesar awakens in the middle of the night by the sound of gunfire. Hurrying outside, he sees that the entire colony has heard it. Rushing out into the forest with Rocket and Maurice and various others, Caesar sees that his honorary nephew, Ash, the son of Rocket has been shot. Rocket begins to panic. Caesar tells Rocket to calm down and shouts in English at the humans to leave before ordering Koba to follow them. Back in the village, Caesar sits listening as his council argues over what is to be done about the humans. Koba and Blue Eyes argue with Ash and Rocket about Ash's shooting while Maurice sits silently, looking through the bag one of the humans dropped in the rush. Caesar shouts to make the council go silent. Caesar tells them that he will have a decision by morning. Afterwards, Koba approaches Caesar and tells him the apes need to make a show of strength to the humans. The next morning the apes march into the remnants of San Francisco, on horseback and armed with spears. It is there, to the shock of most humans, that Caesar speaks and states that the apes have no interest in a war, but they will fight to protect themselves. He then tells the humans to not come back into the ape's territory and has his son give Malcolm his son's satchel and the ape army leaves back to their homes having given the message to the humans. The next day, a single human, Malcolm comes to Caesar to explain why they came. On the condition of surrendering their weapons, Caesar allows a small group of humans to repair a dam near the apes. While the human hating Koba and Blue Eyes disagree, Caesar fears the humans may attack if refused. After one human smuggles a shotgun and threatens Caesar's sons, he demands that they leave. After Malcolm's girlfriend Ellie saves Cornelia, Caesar allows them to stay and orders the apes to help. This act pushes Koba and Caesar to a brutal fight that almost kills Koba. In revenge, Koba steals a human gun and shoots Caesar, leading the apes to war in retaliation. Caesar survives the gunshot and is nursed back to health by Malcolm and Ellie. With Blue Eyes' help, he gathers loyal apes to him and confronts Koba, finally killing him. But Caesar considers the damage already done, as the coming human army will not forgive the apes for their actions. Wishing Malcolm goodbye, Caesar prepares to lead the remaining apes to war against the humans. In War for the Planet of the Apes. The apes have captured four soldiers led by Preacher, and the gorilla named Red (a follower of Koba), who have joined the humans along with the other apes, after being disillusioned with Caesar's leadership, in fear of retaliation from Caesar due to their betrayal. First Video Of Pentagon 9 11 Attack Released Tests NcdpiTeaser Trailer Released for Unbelievably Cool Voldemort Fan Film. J. K. Rowling may be busy working on the second film in her Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them trilogy, but one fan film is getting reading to tell us a much cooler story: How He Who Shall Not Be Named became, well, He Who Shall Not Be Named. Tryangle Films has released the debut trailer for Voldemort: Origins of the Heir, a high- production (and non- profit) fan film based in the Harry Potter universe. According to the plot synopsis, it’s inspired by events in Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, detailing how Tom Riddle collected the Horcruxes and amassed power.. What happened in those years, and what really went down at Hogwarts when he came back? There are some clues in the books which have not been transposed at all in the movies, but a lot goes unspoken. What happened on September 11, 2001? Using pictures and video, The Wisdom Fund explains the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center and Pentagon - the attack on America. This is the story we want to tell: the rise of the Dark Lord before Harry Potter and his first demise. The production company is currently raising funds to complete the film, which they said will come out this October (assuming they raise the funds). In a statement to Buzz. Feed, the production company says they have an agreement with Warner Bros. Check out the trailer below, and marvel at how far fan films have come in the past decade, growing from home videos in the garage to fully professional feature- length presentations. Wands up for this one. It took President Donald Trump 55 minutes of a one-hour meeting last week to argue with aides that he didn’t want to re-certify America’s nuclear deal with Iran.

Adobe Digital Editions Crack Pdf Drm Removal Portable AirThe Microsoft Font That Has Scandalized Pakistan's First Family. Back in April, the family of Pakistan’s scandal- plagued prime minister landed in the crosshairs of an investigation relating to the leaked Panama Papers. This week, the team handling the investigation concluded that documents signed by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s family were fraudulent due to the fact that they were purportedly from 2. Microsoft’s Calibri font, which wasn’t publicly released until 2. Back in April, the family of Pakistan’s scandal-plagued prime minister landed in the crosshairs of an investigation relating to the leaked Panama Papers.At a recent Hall of Fame news conference, a woman claiming to be Ex- Cowboys receiver Bob. Three of Sharif’s children, including his heir- apparent Maryam Sharif, were included in the data dump. The documents showed that the children had offshore companies and assets that were not reported on the family’s financial disclosures. For two months, a Joint Investigation Team (JIT) investigated the Sharif’s finances. Because of that tiny font choice, they concluded that some documents were falsified in an effort to hide income. Uncertainty remains, however, about whether the person who prepared the documents really could have had a copy of Calibri in 2. We know that the typeface was officially released to the public and became the default font for Microsoft Power. Point, Excel, Outlook, and Word. Pad in 2. 00. 7. But there’s some confusion about how available it was before that. A Microsoft representative told Gizmodo that the company’s internal system showed the font was available in a pre- release form going all the way back to 2. We’ll update this post if and when we hear back. That information aligns with font consultant Thomas Phinney’s comments on the matter. Download the free trial version below to get started. Double-click the downloaded file to install the software. Phinney claims that Calibri was first available “outside Microsoft in a Windows beta release on 9 August 2. When Phinney noticed that people were using his post about the font’s history as a source for the story involving the Sharif family, however, he added some clarification. According to Microsoft’s website, version 1. Calibri was copyrighted in 2.
Speaking to the Pakistani newspaper Dawn, a representative of Lucas de Groot, the Dutch designer behind the font, expressed similar skepticism: Lucas started designing Calibri in 2. Microsoft not before March 2. Early Windows betas are intended for programmers and technology freaks to see what works and what doesn’t.. As the file size of such operating systems is huge, it would have been a serious effort to get. De Groot himself later followed up with the site, pointedly asking, “Why would anyone use a completely unknown font for an official document in 2. All of this confusion has spilled over onto Calibri’s Wikipedia page (which had to shut down edits), but, ultimately, the dates may not matter. The investigative team claims to have found “numerous” anomalies in the Sharif family’s records. And, let’s be honest, what else are Panamanian shell companies used for? Whatever evidence the JIT ultimately brings against Sharif’s family, the font has been the juiciest detail, becoming a rallying cry of social media users using the hashtag #Fontgate. Before you start thinking Pakistani politics are so much different than our own, consider the fact that Sharif is in trouble because of his dumb kids and that those calling for his ouster are using a silly hashtag. Consider the fact that when the papers first leaked, Sharif called them fake news drummed up by people “targeting me and my family for their political aims.” Consider the fact that opposition leader Imran Khan said that this investigation shows Sharif has “lost all moral authority” and he should resign. Consider the fact that Sharif’s fellow leaders in government held a meeting and later “expressed complete confidence in the leadership of the prime minister.” Yeah. Meanwhile, Pakistan’s markets are reeling with uncertainty and its supreme court will have to decide whether a trial is warranted. Download - Update. Star - Update. Star.

When you installed Microsoft’s Word Flow keyboard on your i. Phone, you probably thought it was an app or extension. Turns out, it was an “experiment,” an experiment that is now “complete,” and you need to switch to a new keyboard. Your safest bet is Swift. Key, which Microsoft bought early last year, and which recently caught up to the default keyboard with 3. D Touch cursor control and over 1. Multilingual typers can even switch languages on the fly, and Swift. Key will detect the change. We also recommend Google’s Gboard, which offers instant search and dictation. While Swift. Key sends your typing data to its servers to process customization, Gboard leaves all your typing data (except for searches and dictation recordings) on your keyboard. Unlike Word Flow, neither of these keyboards will squeeze to one side for one- handed typing (for that you’ll need Fleksy or Minuum). But both offer swipe- typing, which (after a little practice) is much faster than one- handed tapping. To enable a new keyboard, after you download it, go to Settings > General > Keyboard > Keyboards > Add New Keyboard, add the keyboard, then select it again and turn on “Allow Full Access.”.

Being a computer system administrator and programmer by trade, I knew there would be no physical reason the device would not work under a 6. It was down to Belkin not wanting to spend the time or money to update the driver. In most cases, it would simply be a recompilation of the existing driver. Hence I began searching to see if anyone had got the device working. There was lots of webpages/forum posts about how people failed. Lots of posts indicating it’s not supported, even an official microsoft page indicating it’s not supported under Microsoft Windows 7. Then there were a few posts indicating to try various different drivers, most seem to relate to either the Prolific or FTDI chip/chipset which apparently exists on other models of the Belkin adaptors (F5.

But sadly nothing about the Belkin F5. U4. 09 adaptor. Hence I figured enough is enough. I had previously found a website where someone had pulled the adaptor apart to determine if the chipset was an FTDI chipset. Sadly it wasn’t it was instead a Philips P8. C5. 2X2. BA microcontroller seemed to be used. Hence I did a lot of searching for that particular chip in google, all with no luck. Eventually I thought hmm, lets just see if we can find another USB2. Philips chip. Magic Control Technologies U2. P9 Adaptor. It was then that I found the MCT U2. P9 DB- 9 Serial Adapter High Speed 2. K USB SERIAL RS- 2. This device used the “P8. C5. 2 – 8. 0C5. 1 8- bit microcontroller and PDIUSBD1. NXP Semiconductors founded by Philips.” It was perfect the chip matched. I hence spent quite a while working out who MCT were. It turns out that MCT stands for Magic Control Technologies. On the MCT website, on their driver page they had drivers for their USB/Serial convertor and they support Visa, Windows 7, 3. So I downloaded the driver U2. P9 Driver.(Click Here for a Local Mirror incase MCT remove it)I then crossed my fingers and installed it. After a quick reboot I plugged in my Belking F5.

As a bit of an ironic twist, I later began cleaning up the original installed Belkin driver (I had tried the Vista 3. It was then that I discovered that Belkin don’t even write their own drivers but use Magic Control Technologies drivers! So not only are they not updating the drivers, they didn’t write them in the first place! Finally, if your a Mac OSX 1. Magic Control Technologies driver page as drivers exist for you as well – shame on you Belkin. Donations keep this site alive. Google Home vs. Amazon Echo, round 2: Google strikes back. Editors' note, May 1. Since I updated this piece a month ago, both Google and Amazon have announced major upgrades to their respective smart speakers. The piece has been updated accordingly, though these latest changes won't be heavily factored in until they launch and we have time to test them. With Google Home entering the arena, complete with the backing of the company's ubiquitous search engine, the Echo's place on top is no longer secure. Like the Echo, the Home functions as a source of entertainment, a personal assistant and a smart- home controller. When we reviewed the Home back in November, it couldn't keep up with the Echo on the latter two fronts. The Home put up a valiant fight, but the Echo had a two- year head start and many more skills at its disposal. At CES this January, the Echo continued to build on its lead with a slew of new integrations. Recently, Google's given its smart speaker some significant upgrades, including support for multiple users and voice recognition, as well as a dozen new smart- home integrations and cooking assistance for more than 5 million recipes. Amazon struck back with its own slew of upgrades, including voice calling to other Echo devices and notifications on your Echo. At its 2. 01. 7 Google I/O developer conference, Google showed off similar features for the Home, as well as a handful of other other upgrades including better integration between the Home and your TV. So now that Google Home's had a little time to grow up, which device is better? As we did with round 1, we split the battle into three categories - - entertainment, personal assistance and smart- home control - - to see how the two devices stack up. The Echo won round 1 by triumphing in the second and third categories - - let's see if that still holds true. Google Home vs. Amazon Echo. Google Home. . Amazon Echo. Price. . $1. 30. .

Tube or Netflix via Chromecast. Order a pizza, play a game, arrange an Uber pickup. Echo has an ever- growing list of thousands of skills and counting. Entertainment The Amazon Echo and the Google Home are both always listening, via their built- in microphones that can hear voice input from a moderate distance. The Echo wakes up to the command . If you turn the volume all the way up on your music, both will understandably have trouble picking your voice out of the racket. Check out Ty Pendlebury's detailed breakdown of how the Home does versus the Echo in terms of sound quality. In short, he recommends if you're just looking for a high- fidelity Bluetooth speaker - - keep looking. The mini version of the Echo - - the $5. Amazon Echo Dot - - plugs into your speakers. With the Home, you can control any Google Cast- enabled speaker or any speaker connected to a Chromecast Audio streamer. Say the word, and you can watch your favorite show on Netflix or pull up a video on You. Tube. Soon, you'll be able to use your voice to watch shows from a bunch of other streaming sources, including Hulu and HBO Now. Just like with music, you can pause, rewind and fast- forward streaming video with your voice. Better yet, if your TV supports CEC (Consumer Electronics Control), you can turn on your TV with Google Home by asking it to play something. That said, you can't yet fully control any TV with Google Home. You won't be able to turn your TV off with a voice command, for instance. Google showed off that ability at I/O though, so full TV control could be on the way. Home's built- in speaker plays music well enough for me, but the sound quality didn't satisfy our audiophiles. An upcoming Element TV has Alexa built- in, but again, you'll need to press a button on the remote to give a voice command. Both the Echo and the Google Home can do more with your TV if you have a Logitech Harmony setup, and the Echo also works with universal remotes from dealer- installed setups like Control. Professional smart homes and Logitech Harmony can both get expensive, so the best option if you want simple voice controls over your TV is Google Home and the $3. Chromecast. You can group multiple speakers to play one song simultaneously in multiple rooms of your house. The Echo still can't do that. And Alexa's version of Jeopardy is also much better than Home's simplistic and over- the- top trivia. However, the Echo managed to take this duel in round 1, thanks in large part to its breadth of abilities. Still, the Home uses the Google Assistant (Google's aptly named digital assistant built into the Home and Android phones like the Pixel - - and now available on i. Phones) to respond to voice commands conversationally, something Google was eager to demonstrate when the Google Home made its initial debut back in May 2. In other words, you can ask Google Home, . Then, you can follow that question with . We asked Alexa to tell us the weather. Then, we asked, . The Google Assistant understands a little more context than Alexa, but not by much. The Echo also lets you set reminders and make to- do lists, and the Google Home still falls short at a few of those sorts of basic tasks. It doesn't, for instance, let you change anything on your calendar yet. That should change soon. Google showed off better integration with its apps at I/O, including the ability to pull up search results on your TV with Chromecast. You'll even be able to see personalized results to your questions as Google recently added support for multiple users (up to a maximum of six), making it a much better personal assistant for the whole family. Your family members can each spend a few minutes training Google to recognize their voices. Once they do, Google should do a pretty good job of telling you all apart, provided you don't sound too similar. From there, if you each ask it for traffic info or a calendar update, the Home will customize its responses depending on which one of you is asking. The Echo can't do anything like that. Both Amazon and Google are making a play for the kitchen and both devices work with the Anova connected sous vide cooker. But here Google goes a step further again, as the company just announced the ability to search for more than 5 million recipes on your phone, then send them to the Home for step- by- step directions. Both companies also want to replace your home phone with their respective speakers. The Echo lets you call other Echo devices. Google Home will let you call any phone number in your address book. I like Google's calling functionality better in theory - - the feature isn't live yet - - as it's easier to call anyone, whether or not they have a Home. We'll be testing both extensively to see which device is the better communicator in practice. The Google Home is still not perfect as a personal assistant, but Google is making progress. Even now, with lots of I/O upgrades still on the horizon, since the Google Assistant can get to know your whole family, the Home's ready to take this category from the Echo. Verdict: The Home overtakes the Echo as a personal assistant in round 2. Smart home controller Alexa's sheer breadth of skills - - more than 1. Amazon's 2- year head start in building a catalog of compatible smart- home devices seem insurmountable. Skills are basically third- party, voice- enabled apps for the Echo. Google doesn't have anything similar for the Home, and given that the Home launched with just four compatible smart- home platforms - - Smart. Things, Nest, Philips Hue and IFTTT - - I didn't think the Home would be able to keep up with the Echo in this vital category. We found that out firsthand in the CNET Smart Home, and it's a big part of why the Amazon Echo is a central part of our living lab for testing connected gadgets. For a bulb called . Without those groups, Alexa won't respond to any other names for the lamp, including . I could then control it by commanding Google to turn on the . The changeable bases helped us find the perfect look. With IFTTT - - the online rule- maker that stands for . You have to use the word . Alexa will let do some device grouping, but it's more of an all- or- nothing approach (. Amazon could certainly improve its its own version of scenes soon, and Google's shortcuts also aren't live yet. For now, flexible phrasing aside, the Echo is still ahead in the race to control everything. The Home closed the gap with a recent push, adding significant names to its roster of compatible devices like August, Lifx, and Wink, but all of those already worked with the Echo, and it's got plenty of others that Home still needs to add. I'm glad to see the Home making a real push on this front, but the Echo's still the champ in the smart home. Verdict: The Amazon Echo holds its ground as a smart home controller in round 2. |
