![]() More than a curious design choice, the way The Dark Crystal depicts both Skeksis and Mystics reflects the story's ethos, which is not about struggle but healing. 2019 Maturity Rating: TV-PG 1h 22m Documentary Films. The Dark Crystal Animation 1982 1 hr 33 min English audio PG CC When Jen, a member of the Gelfling tribe, sets out to find the crystal's missing shard, his dangerous journey to restore. The Mystics, on the other hand, represent harmony, so they look the same because they live in balance with each other. The Crystal Calls Making the Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. The Skeksis are manifestations of strife, with each member of their race trying to get the best of the others. With Neil Sterenberg, Beccy Henderson, Nathalie Emmanuel, Taron Egerton. It stars the voices of Stephen Garlick, Lisa Maxwell, Billie Whitelaw. The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance: Created by Jeffrey Addiss, Will Matthews. ![]() That’s not the case in The Dark Crystal for a very good reason. The Dark Crystal is a 1982 dark fantasy film directed by Jim Henson and Frank Oz. In a fantasy setting, good guys have unique traits, while villains often get a bland design, a thoughtful decision that helps the audience to perceive the hero’s actions as morally commendable since they are just killing a horde of clones. As for the Mystics, they all look alike, and it’s harder to differentiate one from the other. The Skeksis, in particular, are not your regular group of faceless villains the hero must defeat, but each has a unique personality expressed through their design. And since we are discussing design choices, The Dark Crystal deserves a standing ovation for its puppets alone. La precuela del clásico de Jim Henson, con su maravillosa combinación de decorados, marionetas y voces, ganó un Emmy. The whole genome of Sichuan partridge will be a valuable genomic resource for answering evolutionary questions associated with this endangered species, and for the development of genetic tools for Sichuan partridge research and conservation. To help achieve the goal, we have sequenced and assembled the Sichuan partridge reference genome, and performed comparative genomics analysis. Further research is essential to clarify the environmental adaption and evolutionary history of Sichuan partridge and to elucidate functional genomic regions that underlie ecological adaptation. To date, few studies have been conducted for the investigation associated with the genetic mechanisms of the environmental adaption of the Sichuan partridge, and the whole genome of Sichuan partridge is currently not available. ![]() Owing to the habitat fragmentation of endemic birds in subtropical forest in the mountains of Southwestern China, the populations of Sichuan partridge have decreased dramatically, which has led to governmental protection of the Sichuan partridge in much of their range. It has been classified as an endangered species (IUCN 2007) and a nationally protected animal in China because of its largely restricted range, very small population size, and severely fragmented habitat ( Figure 1). The Sichuan partridge ( Arborophila rufipectus, Phasianidae, and Galliformes) is endemic to the mountains in the south-west China. Our data and findings provide valuable genomic resources not only for studying the evolutionary adaptation, but also for facilitating the long-term conservation and genetic diversity for this endangered species. Pairwise sequentially Markovian coalescent analysis revealed the recent demographic trajectory for the Sichuan partridge. Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis of positively selected genes (PSGs) in Sichuan partridge showed over-represented GO functions related to environmental adaptation, such as energy metabolism and behavior. Comparisons between the Sichuan partridge genome and chicken genome revealed a conserved genome structure, and phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that Arborophila possessed a basal phylogenetic position within Phasianidae. A total of 56 olfactory receptor (OR) genes were found in Sichuan partridge, and conserved motifs were detected. About 1.94 million heterozygous single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were detected, 17,519 protein-coding genes were predicted, and 9.29% of the genome was identified as repetitive elements. The final draft assembly consisted of approximately 1.09 Gb, and had a scaffold N50 of 4.57 Mb. To examine the evolution and genomic features of Sichuan partridge, we de novo assembled the Sichuan partridge reference genome. It has been listed in Appendix I of International Trade Convention on Endangered Wild Animal and Plant Species.The Sichuan partridge ( Arborophila rufipectus, Phasianidae, Galliformes) is distributed in south-west China, and classified as endangered grade. The eggs are dark brown yellow, with puce spots of various sizes.Ĭhinese Monal is a resident bird and endemic to China, dispersing over southeast Qinghai Province, Dingxing, Kangding, Ruchuan, Pingwu of western Sichuan Province as well as Jiaoxian, Diebu, Zouqu of Gansu Province. In artificial breeding conditions, it lays eggs in April and May, with 3 to 5 eggs per brood. Because it likes to eat culms of fritillaria, it is also named "fritillaria pheasant ". It mainly feeds on botanic radicels and corms. ![]() In winter it moves to lower mountains at an elevation of about 2,000 meters. Usually it is fond of forming into subgroups, and moving about in alpine meadows, bushes or bare rock areas at an elevation of 4,000 to 5,000 meters. The back is white, and the tail has more than 10 brown transverse bands. ![]() Body feathers of the female are dun, with approximately white fine grains. The tectices of alae has similar color with the back feathers, and the remiges are dark brown with green brims. The vertex has a tuft of gunmetal to cupreous cristae. ![]() It is pure white from back to waist, and the tail is bluish green. The upper body of the male is mostly metalescent aeruginous. It is slightly larger than the brown-tailed pheasant, with a full-length of about 76 centimeters. Its scientific name is Lophophorus Ihuysii (Latin), or Chinese Monal Pheasant (English). With the alias of fritillaria pheasant, it belongs to the Phasianidae family of Galliformes order. Over time, the case developed into the common flat design we know today. In the 16th century, pocket watch cases were often spherical or box-shaped. Sometimes you're only able to tell the origin of a watch based on its construction, design, or decorations. The majority of older pocket watches are unsigned, as adding company names and logos wasn't common practice until the 19th century. This changed in the mid-17th century when better escapement systems were developed, resulting in portable watches with both hour and minute hands. Since the first portable watches still weren't very accurate, they only had an hour hand. These can-shaped watches, which were most likely carried in bags, eventually developed into wearable watches fashioned onto chains. Historians know it as the "Silicon Valley of the Middle Ages" due to the many inventions made in the town. The German town of Nuremberg was the center of watchmaking in the 15th century. One of these models is on display at the Germanisches Nationalmuseum in Nuremburg. He was able to get the watch down to pocket watch size using this construction, and the shape of the timepiece resembled a can. Peter Henlein, a locksmith from Nuremburg, was one of the first to use a spring drive together with an escape mechanism in a wearable watch. This watch belonged to Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy, and is on display at the Germanisches Nationalmuseum (Germanic National Museum) in Nuremberg. It features a fusee, which equalized the uneven pull of the mainspring. The oldest known watch with a spring drive dates back to 1430. Before then, large grandfather clocks were powered by weights attached to chains which wound the movement. The invention of the spring drive made pocket watches possible, as it enabled the entire watch movement to be miniaturized. Pocket watches have been around since the 15th century. In 2009, it sold for around $5 million at an Antiquorum auction. The Patek Philippe 89 is slightly less expensive, although it's still one of the most intricate pocket watches ever produced. The Graves Supercomplication, a special order pocket watch for the American banker Henry Graves, Jr., sold at a Sotheby's auction in 2014 for 23.2 million Swiss francs (CHF), making it one of the most expensive watches in the world. However, there are also models that cost nearly one million euros. The prices for vintage pocket watches from Patek Philippe start at around 3,500 euros. Gold models, however, are available for 25,000 euros. Pre-owned pocket watches from the International Watch Company ( IWC) can be purchased for around 800 euros. However, gold models can cost up to 4,000 euros. You can also find pre-owned pocket watches from the Swiss manufacturer Omega at affordable prices, sometimes for less than 200 euros. All three manufacturers currently offer pocket watches in their portfolios. Pre-owned Tissot pocket watches cost less than 500 euros, although their gold watches can cost around 2,500 euros. Since there is only one of each watch, they're extremely scarce, and you should accordingly plan to spend at least 30,000 euros for such a rare piece.Ī less expensive entry into the world of pocket watches would be a model from Regent, Dugena, or Tissot. They were made by watchmaking apprentices towards the end of one's apprenticeship, making them "journeyman's pieces." Watches from the 19th or first half of the 20th century are extremely coveted amongst collectors. Apprentice watches are particularly special watches. Prices range from a few hundred to a few million euros for very rare, intricate models. If you're searching for a pocket watch, you have the choice between countless models. ![]() The Graves Supercomplication and Calibre 89 were the most intricate pocket watches for decades. Patek Philippe, one of the most renowned watch manufacturers in the world, is known for their especially intricate pocket watches. The most highly sought-after models are vintage watches from the German manufacturer A. The number of pre-owned pocket watches available is much larger. These are powered by mechanical or quartz movements. Manufacturers such as Tissot, Regent, or Dugena continue to produce affordable pocket watches. ![]() Women often attached their pocket watches to a chain and wore them as necklaces. Men usually carried their pocket watches in their vest pockets, though they kept them in their pants or jacket pockets as well. There was a spring ring or clip at the end of the chain, which you could attach to a buttonhole. In order to not lose the watch, it was secured with a chain. Originally, it was predominantly men who used pocket watches. Wearing a watch on your wrist is simply more comfortable for most people. Wristwatches almost made the pocket watch completely obsolete in the 20th century. Pocket watches have been beloved for centuries, especially amongst collectors and watch enthusiasts.
