![]() ![]() Perhaps second only to his friend Mercator in influence and importance, Ortelius spent his life in the international merchant city of Antwerp as a mapmaker, seller, and collector. New to this edition are the maps of Flanders and Brabant. The text on the map of Valencia has been censored with a patch, erasing the text on the practice of Islam in Spain this is the final edition of the text in which this passage appeared. It has an early Spanish provenance, with marginal comments in Spanish and Latin. The present edition contains 108 maps in the Theatrum as well as the 26 maps and views of the Parergon, all in contemporary hand-coloring. The maps and plates in the Parergon may be considered "the most outstanding engravings depicting the wide-spread interest in classical geography in the 16th century" (Van der Krogt). Plantin took over publication of new editions in 1579 and began to incorporate the supplemental Parergon and Nomenclator Ptolemaicus. The first edition came out in 1570 with 50 maps, and as cartographic knowledge increased, so did the number of maps in each subsequent edition. It was the most expensive book of its day, and yet also one of the bestsellers, going into 37 editions and 7 languages. The major innovation of the Theatrum was to provide, in a single volume, accurate modern maps in a uniform, regular format, together with explanatory text. Ortelius's atlas "set a standard by which subsequent collections would be judged and compared" (Short). The first modern world atlas, hand-colored and heightened in gold-the watershed of Renaissance cartography. ![]()

![]() My performance problems I was talking about was actually because I didn't have the cache drive setting correct. Just wanted to update in case anyone else had the same issues. Its my first time doing this, so I hope I got what you guys are looking for! I'm running the following plug-ins in Emby that might be the cause of any of this also. Even while transcoding 2 streams I never see more that 20-30% cpu utilization, in windows runing the same programs plus Windows bloat I was sitting in the 40-50% range. I have the following dockers running in UNRAID. I went a little overkill and bought a used rackmount server to run everything so processing power wise I really don't see that as being my problem Here's a quick rundown of the specs My experience running on windows was pretty flawless. I did watch about 2 hours today and once I was playing the show I had zero issues, it seems to be only navigating through the menu and season listings. I basically get the spinning "hurry up and wait" symbol constantly everywhere you go. My problem is that when navigating around either in a computer browser or on my Shield TV's the Emby menuys are very slow to come up and I sometimes get an error saying it has lost a connection to the server while trying to navigate. Decided to go with UNRAID to hopefully have a little less overhead, and hopefully (from what I've gathered) a little more forgiving if/when I have hard drive failures in the future. Basically I had a hard drive fail and another fail while trying to rebuild the RAID array prompting me to basically start from scratch. So if you want a different theme, you must add the TP_THEME variable with the value you want.I just finished swapping the OS on my server from WSE 2016 to UNRAID.

The scripts are quite simple and only has a couple of variables. The script does the exact same thing as the subfiltering module except it does it on the backend instead of on the proxy side. The docker mod, will run a script at startup to inject the stylesheet into the html file using sed. So, to fix that I've created a bunch of docker mods for all the applications that have a linuxserver container. Doing that would only apply the theme when accessing the application though the proxy and not locally. This means that you would have to reverse proxy the application to be able to add the theme. Normally you would add the themes using a "subfilter" module like or.

Read our list of the best KitchenAid attachments.We updated this guide in November 2021 to ensure our best overall pick was in stock. You will be missing out on zoodles, however. It’s less expensive at $35, and it performs well. KitchenAid Fresh Prep Slicer/Shredder Attachment: If you’re looking for another KitchenAid option, this one ( view on Amazon) doesn’t spiralize, but it can slice and shred. The $25 plastic tool probably won’t hold up as well, though. Paderno World Cuisine 3-Blade Vegetable Slicer: This option from Paderno World Cuisine ( view on Amazon) can spiralize better and more consistently than the KitchenAid attachment-plus, you don’t need a KitchenAid mixer to use it. Also, if you don’t have a KitchenAid mixer, this could be a great pick. It doesn’t have the durable body, but might be a better choice if you want to make spiralizing a frequent part of your cooking routine. Spiralizer Ultimate 7: This $30 specialized spiralizer ( view on Amazon) performs its function better and is less expensive than the KitchenAid attachment. If you regularly peel, slice, and spiralize fruits and vegetables, this machine can save you time, labor, and storage space.Ĭompetition: Specialized is better, but add-on expands KitchenAid use Regardless, it’s a fairly pricey product, but here’s the upside: By using the motor of the KitchenAid, you avoid adding another kitchen appliance to your collection. This spiralizer attachment is originally priced at $100, though you can often find it on sale for less at online retailers like Amazon. ![]() Sometimes it takes some repositioning to get it right. Do note, though, that the ones that core and slice have to be lined up with the fruit’s core before you turn on the spiralizer. More blades are available for separate purchase, but the four that are included are a great place to start. Of course, you don’t want a blade to come out accidentally while the spiralizer is running, but we think the removal mechanism could be improved. The peeler has a release lever and comes out without a problem, but the blades were much harder to remove we had to pull them so hard that leftover food flew out of them. It’s simple and easy-as is installing the peeler, which slides in from below. To install the blades, slide them into the blade carrier from above. ![]() It also included tips for food preparation, like cutting off one end of your vegetable (so the flat end fits most easily against the skewer) and limiting the length of the food so that it fits in the attachment. On the topic of this manual, we felt that its setup instructions were straightforward and included helpful illustrations. Each blade has a maximum speed that’s noted in the instruction manual, though, so make sure to read through carefully. The blades can be used with or without the peeler, and the peeler can be used on its own. There’s also a peeler and a skewer for fruits and vegetables. There are four blades included with this model: a fine spiralizer blade, a medium spiralizer blade, a small core spiral slicer, and a large core spiral slicer. The spiralizer attachment, which we tested here, lets you spiralize, slice, and peel fruits and veggies without the need for a separate device. KitchenAid mixers have a power hub that connects their motors to other attachments (including food processors, ice cream makers, cheese shredders, and more). To see how it really works, we took it home and tested it ourselves, evaluating everything from its performance to how it measures up to the competition. It can also help you limit your kitchen appliances and expand the use of your KitchenAid mixer. Whether you’re dressing up a salad or tricking your kids to eat more veggies with zoodles, this spiralizer attachment from KitchenAid can change the way you approach veggie and fruit preparation.

Henry Wu, the creator of the hybrid, had made a deal with InGen Security Division commander Vic Hoskins to weaponize it in a grand scheme to have dinosaurs be used in military operations and kept many of the creatures used in its creation a secret. Development of the hybrid began in 2012 in the Hammond Creation Lab sometime after the board meeting. The result was a genetically modified hybrid of several dinosaur genera and modern animals.

On April 5, 2009, another hybrid was created. On May 21, 1997, he created Karacosis wutansis, a hybrid plant. Henry Wu, was fascinated with the possibility to create entirely new species by gene mixing, ever since he learned that the inclusion of frog DNA had given the dinosaurs the ability to switch gender. Lastly, pit viper snake DNA added special cavities in the skull that allowed her to see infrared, which helped her see the heat coming from her prey in dark areas. Tree frog DNA was added for the Indominus to adapt to the tropical climate of Isla Nublar, but it instead added the ability for the animal to remove her thermal signature, which confused most of the heat-based infrared cameras. Cuttlefish genes were intended to help the Indominus withstand an accelerated growth, but it also added chromatophore cells in the skin so it could change the shape, color, and texture of its skin like a cuttlefish. One swipe of the hybrid's claws would take down a specific opponent. Therizinosaurus DNA added the presence of long forelimbs with strong, slashing claws. Deinosuchus DNA was used to form the crocodilian teeth of the Indominus that were used in grasping the flesh of opponents. Abelisaur genes ( Carnotaurus, Majungasaurus, Rugops, Pycnonemosaurus, Quilmesaurus, and Viavenator) were added to act as a biological form of armor that absorbed most of the incoming attacks. Including the shape of the head in some parts from Giganotosaurus. It was mentioned that the Indominus rex would be larger than the T. Giganotosaurus DNA was added for the large size of the Indominus. Velociraptor DNA was added for high levels of intelligence and the ability to make plans and decisions. It also gave the Indominus rex an incredibly strong bite that could crush bulletproof glass. The genome of Tyrannosaurus rex was used as the base genome for the hybrid. There were also the DNA of modern animals such as cuttlefish, tree frog, and a pit viper snake. Some of the known species that were included were Velociraptor, Carnotaurus, Giganotosaurus, Majungasaurus, Rugops, Pycnonemosaurus, Quilmesaurus, Viavenator, Deinosuchus, and Therizinosaurus. The hybrid was created by modifying the genome of a Tyrannosaurus rex with the DNA of various other theropods.
