And even a fundamental decision such as choosing between a flat roof or a pitched one seems to defy climatic necessities, as the lamentably high number of leaking flat roofs in rain-swept Glasgow where I live demonstrates. Snowfalls became lighter and less frequent in the UK throughout the 20th century, but it would be unconvincing to tie this to the proliferation of modern flat roofs, which have become just as popular in snowy Russia. Such fine-scale responses between building and weather as far as I know, do not happen in the present. Heavy snowfall demands roof designs which don’t buckle under pressure. ![]() Exaggerating this climate connection in architecture might imply, wrongly, that premodern societies were predominantly shaped by some inexplicable harmony between people and nature, with an ability to respond to tiny changes in the environment that were lost in later periods. To prove a connection, the researchers would need a theory of how builders would be able to react to tiny changes in the climate with tiny changes in roof angles. It depends on the conscious decision of a particular person – a client, architect or artisan. The researchers nonetheless do not develop this point or explain why flatter roofs should be more cost effective.īuilding a roof is not a collective event akin to population decline, infant mortality or market prices, however. The researchers ought to be commended for trying to address this problem though, as the study notes that Chinese people may have failed to maintain steeper roofs in times when snowfall was less severe due to “costs and the diverse need for sunshine and rainfall sheltering”. It’s also unclear why roofs in warm times should become less steep. They could get away with it being historians as opposed to, let’s say, medical doctors, where sample size is the litmus test of sound methodology. The researchers mention studying around “200 remains over a millennium”, but it’s not clear whether these are equally spaced out across the study period. The second point, to my mind, is not coherently proven by this study and may even be impossible to prove. ![]() A carpenter will correct the roof angle once a building has collapsed under heavy snow, and showing this with the example of historic buildings in China has its merit. The first point is fairly easy to prove and probably undisputed among academics. And two, that there is a close correlation between weather patterns and roof angles that betrays a sensitivity in architecture to very small changes in the climate. One, that roofs are built steeper in eras and places with heavier snowfall. It’s a compelling story, but as someone who has studied architectural history for many years, I have some doubts. It’s incredible to think that something as subtle as the angles of pitched roofs might intimately reflect changes in the weather over ten centuries.

The catch: Even if you conduct a trademark search and don’t find any matches, your application could still be denied. First, however, you need to obtain the applicable design code(s), which you can find in the USPTO’s Design Search Code Manual. ![]() What if your desired trademark doesn’t consist of words but rather a design? If you intend to register a trademark that uses an illustration instead of just a simple name, you can use TESS to conduct a design mark search. Checking this system is a great way to possibly avoid a potential rejection based on the “likelihood of confusion” – that is, your application is denied because your proposed trademark is too similar to another and would cause confusion in the marketplace. A search in TESS will also pull up pending applications so you can see if another business is in the process of beating you to the punch. ![]() Luckily, the USPTO maintains a database of trademarked terms called the Trademark Electronic Search System (TESS). It’s no use trying to trademark a brand or phrase that has already been trademarked by someone else. ![]() You can then use that alternative name to register for a trademark. Since sole proprietors must legally use their personal name as their business name, this affords them the option of selecting a different name to conduct business under publicly. Review the USPTO’s rules and consider the above factors to get a sense of whether your application is likely to be approved before fully embarking on the endeavor.Īnother thing to keep in mind: If you are a sole proprietor, you will need to register a DBA (doing business as) name before applying for a trademark. The trademark process is time-consuming and costs money, so you don’t want to waste effort trying to trademark an ineligible idea. However, it’s wise to understand whether your brand is even eligible for a trademark in the first place. It is particularly important to trademark your business identity if it says something unique about your brand, like your commitment to eco-friendly business.
![]() GLC is fast enough for capturing games at 1280x720 or more depending on your computer. Once compiled, you need to start your game via glc-capture with a line like: glc-capture -l /dev/stdout -v 3 -i -j -o /tmp/recording.glc -b back your_game It's not in Ubuntu, but you can download the source and compile it yourself. It also has issue when it comes to very long recordings, which tend to corrupt, so it's a good idea to stop and restart the encoding every 30min or so, to not risk a corrupt stream.įor proper game capture you need GLC, which is specifically written for OpenGL and only works with OpenGL apps. ![]() However it is slow and not fast enough for gaming at large resolutions. RecordMyDesktop is the easiest solution, you use it like: recordmydesktop \ Anyway, you can see how the video behaves.įor multiple audio sources, Kazam (The one in the PPA) offers:Īs you can see you have sound from Speakers and sound from Mic. I have an Intel 120 GB SSD with an Intel DZ68DB motherboard. This is because sound has less of an impact to the performance of the PC than the actual video.įor an example I have here a VIDEO done using Ubuntu 13.04 on an Intel i7 2600 with 16 GB RAM and an Nvidia 560 TI. If your video card and/or CPU is optimized for specific coding techniques (For example H.264) then that will help a lot. So the more you have of any of this, the less impact you will feel. This means it will take a chunk of your RAM, CPU and HDD speed. In any case, remember that the video will be in most cases being coded while recording the game. The other case, depending on the available amount of RAM, it will send it to RAM and then start to process it (coding the video on the fly), then writing to the disk in intervals. When recording, depending on the recording app, the video recorded can be send directly to the HDD/SDD, in which case it will eat some of the speed of the hard drive which will have an impact on how the game will feel. Sudo apt-get update & sudo apt-get install kazam If you want to try it then do the following: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kazam-team/unstable-series At least compared to the one in 12.04 or 12.10. It has better performance the one that comes in the PPA. But not the Kazam that comes with the Software Center but the one that comes in the PPA. If your CPU is not powerful enough (And side by side with it, your motherboard) then don't make an odd face when you see that recording while playing makes a lot of lag and that will make the video look awful.įrom my experience, having a good computer with enough CPU, RAM, VIDEO and the other obvious stuff for it to record (Specially from experience the hard drive Read/Write speed) you can use Kazam for it (Since you are talking about HD). ![]() That video recording will really REALLY suck. Expecting to create the best and awesome gaming recording but have an Intel Celeron or an AMD Duron. ![]() So the better your video card is, the better the experience will be.ĬPU Power. There is no power in the world that will let you record a game while playing on that video card in a smooth and crystal clear way. For example, I had a case where the user had an FX 5200. If it is 7200 RPM and to top it off, the HDD has a lot of cache (Like 16 MB, 32 MB or 64 MB) then you will have a better experience. If it has 5400 RPM you have a bigger chance that when recording while playing, the video will not look smooth or the game play will feel slower. How many RPM does your HDD have (Assuming you don't have an SSD in which case, do not worry about the hard drive). But there are a couple of factors you should take into account when recording: It has been the best one when it comes to resource usage. I can actually vouch for the answer that Grumbel made about recordmydesktop in the terminal. ![]() So as I said, the majority of this photo is an empty sky. I really think that AI replacement is going to help make a lot of boring photos, a lot more interesting here in the future. So let's let's just go down to a creative first because I really want to talk about AI sky replacement. And then pro, which gives you all of the flexibility in control that a lot of professionals want when it comes to editing. Then they also have an entire section just for a portrait. I've been there is also creative, which we're going to get into in just a second. So we have the essentials, which is everything like lighting and color and details. Raymond: 02:58 So as you see, they've broken up you know what you can do into four different sections. So let's go into the edit module of Luminar 4. And unfortunately, as I said, with a boring sky, it really doesn't have the photo stand out. It was a hot day, super hot, but the sky is, you can see was very boring. ![]() So this photo right here is of a barn from a wedding that I shot last year. So let's go ahead and look at some of these things. ![]() And then within that, these are acceptable parameters. Like what is the acceptable range of not enough and way too much. They put them into a computer, they've told Luminar what looks good and what does not look good. Just automatically, right? So what Luminar has done is that they have taken hundreds of thousands of images. Raymond: 02:04 And then also just using AI to enhance the overall look of a photo. Number two is its work with AI when, when editing portraits. So those main areas are, and this is super exciting, AI sky replacement is number one. So Luminar 4 has really stepped up their game in a few key areas, right? And they all revolve around AI and how they can make your photos better, or maybe not better, but just achieve the result that you're looking for faster while still having a lot of control. And I've had some time to play with a lot of these photos. You can see all of your folders here off to the side. This is the library of, of Luminar 4 so within here, and you can, you know, you can import your photos right here. Raymond: 01:12 And yeah, it's, I got to tell you, it just, it just incredible stuff.

And Luminar solves that by being a one time purchase and then you have access to it forever. Now, as the host of the beginner of photography podcast, I can tell you that one of the biggest complaints that I hear from new photographers is that they don't want to pay a monthly subscription for a service to be able to edit their photos. A few weeks ago, the company Skylab Software to makers of the popular photo editing software Luminar reached out to me to ask if I would try out their brand new offering, which is Luminar 4, which is the followup to their popular Luminar 3. Raymond: 00:13 Hey Raymond here from the beginning of photography podcast and I have something very special for you all today. And today we're going to be using AI to speed up our editing workflow.
