OK, so your credit isn't its best.
Maybe you don't have much experience with paying bills, or perhaps you've had a couple of late payments. Well, we've got your back.
It may seem counterintuitive, but the best and fastest way to firm up that sagging credit is with a credit card. That's right. Believe it or not, with the right credit card, you can improve your credit in a few short months. The trick is to know how.
We'll tell you what you need to know and how to do it so there aren't any surprises along the way.
The score you'll need to pay the most attention to is the FICO, the scoring model most used by lenders. A "bad credit" score is typically under 580 out of a range of 300-850, with 850 as the best.
To get a good or excellent rating, you'll want to shoot for at least 700. Below that and you'll be offered higher interest rates and other not-amazing financial products. (More on that later.)
That's the bad news. The good news is that it takes a few short months of good consumer behavior to improve your score. But beware: Once you're on the path to good financial habits, you'll want to keep it up, because one misstep can drop your score quickly, in fact, considerably more quickly than when you were improving your credit.
If you are a recent graduate or you are accustomed to paying bills with cash or checks, it's easy to ask why you should care about your credit score. There are a number of reasons why you should care, though, primarily because it can save you money with lower interest rates and even better insurance premiums.
The truth is even if you plan to live off the grid the rest of your life on Montana farmland you inherited from your great-aunt, credit matters. That's because it isn't only lenders who keep an eye on your credit. Landlords, utility companies, even employers, check your credit. They want to make sure you'll pay on time and that you are reliable.
And remember that Montana farmland? You need auto insurance to drive to town for propane and supplies, right? Well, insurance companies look at a specific scoring model to decide what rate to charge you.
The higher the score, the nicer your apartment, the better your job, the lower your insurance payment, the better your auto loan's interest rate – you get the picture. And you can save hundreds a year because of that great credit score.
Bad credit is determined by how you have handled your credit over the years. If you have missed payments or even just don't have a lot of information in your file, your credit may not be great. The 2 most important components of your FICO score are on-time payments (35% of your score) and how much you owe compared to how much credit you have available (30% of your score). That means if you have had late payments, that is likely the primary cause of your poor credit, but if you have a high balance on the credit cards you have, that can be a heavy weight as well.
Not sure where to start on how to improve your credit? It's easier than you think. The easiest and fastest way to build your credit is with a credit card. It has to do with how the FICO model is set up. That may strike fear in your heart if you've had a bad run with your finances. But breathe deeply and repeat this mantra: Pay on time and in full each month.
But first things first.
Right away, you'll want to check your credit reports. The three major credit bureaus – Equifax, Experian and TransUnion – receive data on you from a variety of sources, primarily lenders. You can check each report for free once a year at AnnualCreditReport.com or check your TransUnion report at CreditCards.com. Plan to pull one of the three every four months. Pull your first one today.
Each report has a little different format, but the information is basically the same – your personal information, whether you are paying on time and which accounts you hold. Check for inaccuracies or accounts you don't recognize. Contact the credit bureau with any issues, and clear up with the lenders any outstanding charges.
So, why do the credit reports matter? FICO uses them to assess your score. Actually, if you are regularly checking your credit reports and all is well, it isn't necessary to frequently check your credit score.
Now, check your credit score through MyFICO.com, but make sure you buy only one score, not a monthly subscription. You don't need to know every month where your score stands. It's about $20 for one score. You can also check your Vantage score for free on CreditCards.com.
Finally, you'll want to start looking at cards. We'll talk in more detail about what to look for later, but suffice it to say that you need to keep in mind that your new financial product is for building credit ONLY, not a long-term loan. With that in mind, plan to make one small charge on your card each month to keep the account active, and pay in full and on time. Within a few short months your credit will improve.
The most valuable aspect of the FICO scoring model, the model most used by lenders, is payment history, making up 35% of your score. That's why it's so important that you pay your bills on time each month. Here are the 5 main components of your FICO score:
Your credit report is the accumulation of credit behavior in the last 7-10 years. Your credit score is a measurement of the data from the credit report.
Lenders send your credit data to the three major credit bureaus, TransUnion, Experian and Equifax. Each bureau generates a report, which includes personal information, such as your name and past addresses, your accounts and whether you paid bills on time.
FICO, the dominant score, uses a formula with 5 major components, including on-time payments, a debt-to-available-credit ratio, and other credit habits. The data for the components come from the credit reports. The FICO credit score is the scoring model most used by lenders to assess your lending risk.
You can access your TransUnion credit report for free on CreditCard.com, or on the one site directed by federal law to release the 3 reports for free: AnnualCreditReport.com.
You are legally allowed to access each report for free once a year. Some credit experts recommend that you pull one of your reports every 4 months, staggering the requests.
AnnualCreditReport.com will ask for personal data, such as your birthdate and your social security number, ask you to choose which credit bureau's report you want, then ask you a series of detailed questions only you would know, such as payment amounts for past loans, past addresses and other information. It helps to have this information handy when you pull a report. If you answer incorrectly, you may be shut out of the system for that bureau, and you may have to apply by snail mail.
The reports are compiled by the 3 major credit bureaus, TransUnion, Experian and Equifax, using data collected from lenders. They include personal information, such as your name(s), past addresses and payment history.
Check the report thoroughly for inaccurate information, such as unknown accounts. Request that the bureau correct any inaccurate information, preferably by snail mail, so that you don't lose any negotiation rights.
A prepaid card acts like a credit card, but you "load" money in it periodically for spending purposes, so it isn't truly a credit card, which lends you the money for charges. A debit card is a card attached to an account with cash in it. Neither the prepaid card nor the debit card helps your credit. For that you need a credit card.
There's one type of credit card that is relatively easy to get, and can help you build your credit – the secured card. With this card, you pay a deposit and have a credit limit equal to the deposit, typically a small amount, such as $200.
Prepaid cards are not credit cards, and they don't help you build credit. If you want to build credit, a secured credit card is a good start. Here's how it works: You pay a refundable deposit of say, $200, and you basically borrow off of the amount. Just make sure you put a small charge on the card each month to keep the account open and active. And of course, pay in full and on time so that you take full advantage of your credit building. Also, make sure the card issuer reports to all three major credit bureaus, and research fees, because there can be some hidden ones.
A debit card, which is attached to a bank account, cannot be used for building credit. Instead, consider a secured credit card.
With the secured card, you pay a refundable deposit in exchange for the ability to draw that amount for charges. This is an excellent way to build credit, provided you maintain good financial habits and the card issuer is reporting those habits to all three major credit bureaus.
Research thoroughly, because they can vary. There is even one secured card that pays you cash back, although that is of limited value while you are building credit, because you want to keep your charges as low as possible so that your credit utilization ratio remains as close to 0% as possible.
The credit utilization ratio is your balance compared to your available credit. So, if you have $200 in available credit and you owe $20, your ratio is 10%. This ratio makes up 30% of your FICO score.
A secured card requires a deposit that you borrow off of. An unsecured card provides you with a credit limit based on your credit score – the higher the score and income, the higher the limit typically is.
Secured cards are almost entirely for credit building. They have few other features, although a couple have no annual fee, such as the Discover it Secured Card, and the Capital One Secured Mastercard gives you access to a higher credit limit after 5 months of good credit habits. And the OpenSky Secured Visa Credit Card doesn't require a credit check.
With the Discover it Secured Card, $200 or more will establish your credit line, then after 8 months, Discover reviews your account to assess whether your deposit can be returned while you continue to hold and use the card.
Unsecured cards have a multitude of features, from cash back to travel benefits to gas and shopping rewards. You usually need a higher credit limit for those kinds of cards, but there are exceptions, so do your research. There is the occasional unsecured card for credit building, but while your score is low, the annual fee can be up to $99.
While an unsecured rewards card can save you hundreds of dollars a year, they require some willpower and the ability to budget and manage your credit card accounts. You don't want to get a card, borrow off of it and carry the balance month to month because you can't afford to pay the bill in full. Make sure you have good credit habits before taking out a rewards card (The Simple Dollar has a good list of unsecured cards to help you make a decision).
Secured credit cards are an excellent way to build your credit score when it's not at its best. That said, beware of fees and make sure the card issuer will report your credit habits to all three major credit bureaus.
Here's how a secured card works: You pay a refundable deposit that you will be borrowing off of. Make sure you pay in full and on time each month and put a small charge on the card each month to keep the account open and active.
There aren't many special benefits on a secured card, but if you build your credit over the course of a year, you should be able to get a rewards card once your FICO score is over 700.
The easiest and fastest way to build credit is with a credit card. But if your credit isn't its best, you may need to opt for a credit-builder card. Here are 5 things you need to know:
Technically bank accounts don't affect your credit score, because they don't report to the three major credit bureaus. However, your score can be impacted if you fail to pay fees and the financial institution sells your debt to a collection agency. If that happens, pay the bill immediately and ask the collection agency to inform the credit bureaus that you have done so.
Also, many financial institutions report to ChexSystems any negative information about your bank account. In most cases, you'll need a clear report to open a new checking account. Heads up that banks also sometimes check your credit score before you open an account.
While your checking account with your credit union won't help you build credit, credit unions can help you build credit in a number of other ways including credit-builder loans and secured credit cards:
If you have bad, thin or no credit, don't despair. There is a card for pretty much every circumstance, from great credit to none. You just need to make sure you apply for the right card for your credit. Here's what you need to know:
Check your credit at MyFICO.com for about $20 or get your Vantage score for free at CreditCards.com. If your score is below 700 out of a scale of 300-850, then look at fair or average credit cards. There are a few fair credit cards with cashback benefits, if you are looking for that. Anything below 600, and you'll want to look at credit cards for bad or no credit.
Choose your card carefully, checking for fees and making sure the card issuer reports to all three major credit bureaus. Don't apply for multiple cards in rapid succession, because that can drive down your credit score even further.
There are 2 good reasons for getting a credit card: to build credit and for convenience. There is one reason for not getting a credit card – for a long-term loan. For that, look into a credit-builder loan with your credit union or another financial product with lower interest.
Using a credit card correctly is the fastest and easiest way to build credit. Simply put a small charge on the card each month and pay in full and on time. In no time, your credit will improve.
The other big advantage to getting a credit card is convenience. You can auto-debit on it, you can carry it with you to make big purchases, and you can use it to balance your budget. Just make sure you have the cash to pay the bill in full by month's end.
But you don't want to use it for a long-term loan, because the interest charges can kill you. With a 25% APR, if you have a $500 balance, it will take you 27 months to pay the minimum and cost you $153 in interest fees. Instead, only spend what you already have the money to repay.
It can be a disadvantage to have a credit card if you aren't prepared for it organizationally. If you haven't figured out what you are going to put on the card, how much you will pay each month and when you will pay, you can run into trouble. That's because you can relatively quickly build up debt, both with irresponsible charges and with accumulating interest charges.
Instead of spending with wild abandon, plan what you're going to charge and how you are going to pay it back quickly. Only put on your card what you would buy anyway. It helps to have a budget, both for household expenses and for your credit card expenses.
With your first card, plan to only put one small charge on it each month and to pay it off in full and on time. This way, you are keeping the card active and building your credit, but you aren't accumulating debt.
Bad credit doesn't have to dog you. In fact, cards that accept consumers in the "bad" category can help you build your credit within months. Two different types of "bad credit" cards are secured cards and unsecured cards:
Secured card – The secured card is perhaps the best known type of card for people with bad credit. Here's how it works: You pay a refundable deposit, say $200, then you are allowed to borrow off of that amount on your card. Some cards require you to have a bank account.
Unsecured card – An unsecured card is best known as a rewards, travel or cashback card, but in this case, it is a credit-builder card without the required deposit of a secured card. While the credit limit will likely be low, these cards can have small cashback benefits of about 1%.
Watch out for fees with both types of cards. You can be charged a servicing fee, an annual fee and other charges. Check the rates and fees link on the card's landing page.
All credit inquiries are not created equal. There are "hard pulls," which is when a creditor checks your credit, and they can affect your credit temporarily. "Soft pulls" do not.
If you are applying for a car loan or a mortgage, you can have up to 3 pulls within a certain amount of time, usually 30 days, without an impact to your credit. That's because the credit bureaus recognize that you may want to shop for a better interest rate.
However, if you are applying for a credit card, you do not want to apply for multiple cards at once, because that most certainly will affect your credit. Instead, do your research and choose carefully, based on your current credit score and the details of the card, including fees.
You can't "clear" your bad credit history, but you can build good habits that improve your credit score.
Let's say you were late on a couple of bills or you had an emergency medical procedure that you haven't paid off. You may now have a bad credit history, and you'll want to do something about that.
First things first: Check your credit report at AnnualCreditReport.com for free or get your TransUnion report for free at CreditCards.com. Look for errors, such as inaccurate personal information or accounts you don't recognize. Get the credit bureaus to correct the errors as soon as possible.
Also look for negative issues, such as unpaid bills. Pay the bills immediately and ask the creditor to send the updated information to the credit bureaus. This negative activity will remain on your account for several years, but the older it is, the less important it is to your credit. If you begin to always pay on time and in full, your credit will improve in no time.
Finally, taking out a credit card is the fastest and easiest way to improve your credit. You will probably need to take out a secured credit card. Just make a small charge each month and pay it off on time, and your score will improve within months.
There are a few rules to responsible card use. To use your credit card wisely, do this:
A good credit utilization ratio is as close to 0% as possible.
Credit utilization is your credit card balance by your available credit. So, if you have $1,000 in available credit, and you owe $300, then your credit utilization ratio is 30%. Some experts say you should try to keep your ratio under 30 percent, but the truth is, there is no hard and fast rule about this.
FICO doesn't require a certain ratio; instead, it just wants the ratio to be a low as possible. That's why it's important to pay in full each month. In fact, some consumers pay in full multiple times a month, since you don't know when during the month the card issuer will send your information to the credit bureaus.
In a few short months you can build your credit. The trick is to be diligent about paying in full and on time.
You want to shoot for a FICO score of at least 700 out of a scale of 300-850, with 850 as the best. FICO is the scoring model most used by lenders.
To achieve that score, take out a free credit report every four months from AnnualCreditReport.com and check for errors or any missed payments. You can also check your TransUnion report for free at CreditCards.com. Have errors corrected and pay any outstanding bills you have.
With a secured credit card, and consistent, monthly payments, your credit will improve in no time. Check your score at the beginning of your journey and again in about a year. You can check for about $20 at MyFICO.com or check your Vantage score for free at CreditCards.com.
Canceling a credit card is not necessarily a bad thing, but you want to do it for the right reasons.
Here's the deal: FICO looks at how long your credit accounts have been active. The longer they've been in place (and well-cared for), the better. For that reason alone, you don't want to cancel your card. Length of credit history makes up 15% of your FICO score.
Another reason to keep that card: The available credit on the card adds to the available credit of your other cards, allowing you to have a higher balance and still have a good utilization ratio, which is 30% of your FICO score.
Also, if it's your only credit card, and you are handling it responsibly, it will continue to boost your credit score because it improves your credit mix, which is 10% of your FICO score.
However, if you are paying an annual fee, you have other cards, and there is no reason for that card (for example, you don't use the card's travel benefits and you have a very low utilization ratio), you might consider canceling. The good habits of that card's use will remain on your credit reports for 10 years.
If you are interested in getting a credit card, but you aren't sure if they're right for you, ask yourself these 6 questions:

Research Emphasis
My research is focused on understanding the physics of earthquakes and the mechanics of fault slip. I utilize techniques from observational seismology, laboratory rock-mechanics experiments, and numerical modeling. Currently I am investigating earthquake and faulting processes on Mid-Ocean Ridge Transform Faults and in Deep Gold Mines in South Africa. These two, completely different tectonic environments, are both relatively simple in terms of composition and thermal structure, and are ideal environments for studying the earthquake source itself.

Living in Türkiye
|With its unique geographical location, rich and deep history which made it the hub of many cultures and civilisations, Türkiye is a very appealing place indeed. Türkiye offers fine living with its modern accommodation, high quality universities, shopping centres, hospitals and many other facilities. You won't find any hardships that arise from living in a foreign land when you move to many cities in Türkiye.
If you want to make new friends and share some amazing experiences with them, you are in the right place. You won't find it hard to make new friends in Türkiye because Turkish people are very warm and friendly. By joining one of the social activity clubs that your university is providing, you can get a definite jump start in your social life!
|Türkiye is preferred by many students from all around the world thanks to quality and economical education opportunities at high-standards, universities holding internationally recognized degrees of success, modern campuses, cultural wealth and hot and friendly environment of it. There has been a great increase in the number of students preferring Türkiye for the last decade. This is because of the following realities of Türkiye:
• Education quality increasing year after year,
• Internationally -equivalent universities,
• Scholarships provided for international students,
• Quality and economical housing facilities,
• Guidance provided for students during their education and after graduation starting from their entrance into the country,
• Socio-cultural activities intended for orientation of students,
• Academic and vocational counselling services for students during their education,
• Cultural structure embracing students,
• Rising graphic in education at international level.
Higher Education
|Higher education is provided by the universities, faculties, institutes, schools, conservators and vocational schools granting the degrees of undergraduate, graduate, master and PhD in Türkiye which meets the need for qualified manpower at regional and global levels with its internationally-standardized education quality. Higher education system in Türkiye consists of 102 state and 62 private universities. According to recent figures, there are more than 3 million university students in Türkiye.
|We can easily say that when it comes to accommodation, you are very lucky to be a student in Türkiye. There are state-run dormitories, many foundation dormitories and private dormitories available. Besides these there are many dormitories owned by universities.
If you don't want to stay in a dormitory there are many other options ranging from luxury residences to mid-range and smaller apartments. There is sure to be one perfect for you.
Our advice to you would be to stay in a dormitory until you get a feel of the city and know where you want to live.
But if you want to settle into your own home immediately, the easiest way to go about this would be to research online and find real estate agents in the suburb in which you want to live. If you have a lot of free time, you should take a tour around the suburb in which you want to live and take a good look around for signs and posters indicating homes that are available for rent. When you rent a home through a real estate agent, you will most likely pay an extra months worth of rent to the realtor. Also keep in mind that if you rent a home through a realtor or even if you rent directly, you will need to pay an amount for the deposit. The general sum is again a months worth of rent. But if you return the house the way you moved in, you will get the deposit back at the end of your stay.
You can live in a home that has fuel-oil, coal or natural gas heating systems, according to your desire. Along with these systems there are also central-heating or floor-heating systems that you can choose from. If you want a phone line you can obtain one through Türk Telekom. For your internet connection, there are many companies and service providers to choose from. For the house you rent, you will need to become a member for natural gas, electricity and water in the relevant centres that deal with these. When you are moving out of the house, don't forget to cancel these.
You can find many alternatives when it comes to home decoration. It's just as easy to buy second-hand as it is to buy brand-new furniture and items in Türkiye. There are many stores and markets where you can find second-hand furniture.

At this point, a gdb back trace would again be very helpful! Even if more rare, I still would like to get rid of this residual issue... and maybe the other one with the recovery file is related and will be fixed at the same time...
@Carmelo_DrRaw : Even if more rare, I still would like to get rid of this residual issue...
Nope... At present, I have tested much better the clone stamp tool. And I was wrong in that it looks like this current version is prone to crash as the previous ones (not less...).Sometimes it crashes sooner. Sometimes later but the end result is the same...I suppose on Windows the threading stuff is different from Linux - Mac. Therefore, everything works fine for you...I have tested this crash on Windows 7 + 8.1 + 10 versions on 3 different computers all of them with CPU Intel I7, 8 gb Ram, Nvidia graphic cards.
Here you can get two backtraces [1] [2]: Windows 7 - 64 bit.The gdb tool acts odd IMHO because whenever I press enter PhotoFlow always continues to writing into the log text file. Generally, the gdb tool should stops sooner or later its backtrace into the log txt file... In short in the end I have always closed myself the gbd tool by pressing Ctr+C.
BTW, on Windows 7 (64 bit), PhotoFlow sometimes acts weird I suppose it is related to the underlying Gtk backend (I suppose you are still using gtk 2 to be compatible with Gimp 2.8 and 2.9.5).For instance:1) I have added a new layer > chosen the detail option and the sharpen tool. In essence, while moving the slider for the radius I was able to move it even though my cursor mouse was extremely far away, at the very end of my display. I have tried to repeat this later with a different image but this time everything was right2) When I have crashed an image I was unable to click OK (to restore it) or NO. The window to allow me this option was freezed. I have tried to repeat later this weirdness but everything was fine...
BTW, as usual PhotoFlow crashes when you open many different Nef images in a row.It is really on random. Sometimes it crashes with the second image. Others times it crashes later.

Maybe, but your tests have definitely spotted another place in the code where a mutex was needed but not used.
One more version for testing, hopefully the good one: https://filebin.net/d9wo6to2i2muaypi
This will be the next thing to investigate, once the clone/stamp tool has become rock-solid
Currently, my testing with this new build is extremely easy because it is definitely, by far, the worst Nutarally, I am joking
Windows 7 - 64 bitCpu: Intel I7Ram: 8 gbGpu: Nvidia graphic card
I have tried for once to clone some jpeg images. They are taken with a smartphone: Galaxy s5 mini.As soon as I try to clone them, PhotoFlow crashes.Here is the backtrace [1] and the video [2] showing my attempt
As usual I have also tried with my Nikon D700 Nef images.Here is the backtrace for this crash [3]
This version even crashed at the very begining when trying to open an image.The window to open them was stuck (freezed)Here is the backtrace [4] I have managed to get (well, sort of...)

Improvement through degradation is my new slogan!!!
Seriously, this issue is starting to drive me nuts...
There must be something still wrong in the code, otherwise it would not crash... but I cannot really find the problematic piece of code.
So I added again some console message, trying to trace down the places where the container structures get corrupted. Here is the new package: https://filebin.net/wxw3jhag2g4cboirI have a Win7 machine at home, but there I cannot reproduce the issue... so I would need the full console output, in addition to the GDB backtrace.
Sorry for this lengthy debugging procedure, but I really don't know what possible shortcuts to take.
Concerning the problem with opening several big files, I suspect that this is due to the fact that the executable is 32-bits, and that the program allocates quite some memory at loading time and then keeps the RAW image data in memory for later used.I have reduced the amount of memory that is temporarily used during loading, hopefully this will help at list a little bit. Next step will be to make s 64-bits executable.
Hello !
I have tested today' s version on 3 different computers:Windows 7 + Windows 8.1 + Windows 10All of them with Intel I7 + 8 gb Ram + Nvidia graphic card
I have always tested jpeg images. Otherwise PhotoFlow is really slow when using the clone tool. Gimp 2.8.16 is blazing fast with the same jpeg images and its clone tool.
Needless to say, I am looking forward to testing the 64 bit version : To take advantage of my 8 gb Ram
As usual it is extremely easy to crash PhotoFlow with the clone tool (on all Windows versions...).Sometimes it crashes soon after a few clicks. Sometimes it takes quite a lot of testing. It occurs extremely on random...You need to click very fast while using the clone tool : to "choke" PhotoFlow, which is unable to store all these inputs I suppose...My jpeg images were small as size (1-2 Mb) and I have crashed PhotoFlow with differente jpeg images.As mentioned above, with Nef images (8-9 Mb) the clone tool is too slow to work with and I didn't test them today. With 32 bit softwares I don't think it does much sense to work with Raw big images
Here you can take a look at 3 gbd txt files (Windows 7 + 8.1 + 10) [1] [2] [3]
I have also uploaded the prompt messages for Windows 7 and W. 10 (but they do not like useful from what I have gathered looking at them...). Here it is the link [4] [5]

@Silvio_Grosso the last hours seem to have been fruitful... following the description of your crashes and using valgrind under Linux, I've been able to reproduce the crash and catch the reason.
Hopefully this new version of the clone/stamp tool is finally crash-free: https://filebin.net/xo6pa3u4if0ojgzm
I have also simplified a bit the code, with the goal of making the tool more responsive... maybe you can give me your impressions.
Hello Carmelo_DrRaw !
Just tested today's new build:Windows 7 - 64 bitCPU: Intel I7Ram: 8 gbGpu : Nvidia graphic card
At present, it does NOT crash anymore !Congratulations for your last improvements
@Carmelo_DrRaw: I have also simplified a bit the code, with the goal of making the tool more responsive... maybe you can give me your impressions.
As usual it is not smooth. You do notice this behaviour when you clone big images.For example, with jpeg images more than 2 Mb. Generally, it is really a pain...Needless to say with Nef images you can only clone small parts of your images unless you have a lot ot fime to wait for PhotoFlow procesing your changes...When you zoom-in or zoom-out, while cloning, it is even much worse.
Sometimes you even have weird results while waiting:
This being said I do not think it is your fault as regards this slowness.I have tested quite a lot Krita [1] on Windows.For starters, they provide 64 bit installers. The threading stuff is excellent: It was one of the first implementations they did.In addition, with Krita the canvas (zooming, panning etc) is handled through OpenGL (by way of your graphic card).On Windows, due to the different file system (NTFS), Krita is slower than on Linux though.
I am not a software developer but I know for sure that usually fine-tuning a programme to improve its speed is by far the most difficult and time-consuming task
[1] https://krita.org/en/
I wonder is something could be wrong elsewhere in your windows set-up... today I tested the smae windows version using wine running inside a Linux virtual machine with as little as 1GB of RAM.
Here is the result of editing one D810 RAW file with the clone/stamp tool: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0m8gh48qz1dcq0f/clomne_stamp_test_wine_1GB_ram.mov?dl=0
Everything runs quite smoothly as soon as the caching of the RAW file is finished (the status indicator goes from orange to green), even if I inserted a curves layer below the clone/stamp.
Also, in terms of memory 1GB is more than enough to process a D810 file, the peak memory usage reported by the program being about 350 MB...
Hello !
Just tested yesterday's version on Windows 8.1 (64 bit):CPU Intel I7RAM 8 gbGPU Nvidia Graphic cardThis computer even has got an SSD (not the usual HDD)When testing PhotoFlow only the anti-virus was running. Namely Kaspersky Internet suite.
With a jpeg image 1,2 mb and the size of the stamp tool 120 a single "stroke" of the clone tool took 1:28 minutes. RAM usage was always around 50-60%
With all my images I have noticed that PhotoFlow at first is always extremely fast: no problem at all indeed.However, as long as you continue working with the clone tool it becomes more and more slow. After a few minutes it is so unbearable slow I always stop my testings...It looks like PhotoFlow "stores into the memory" all my changes and when there are many changes in the current image with the clone tool it is unable to cope with them any longer.This version crashed on Windows 8.1 twice: With a Nef image and, later, at the very beginning with a jpeg image (Segmentation fault). However, now it is indeed rock-solid compared to the past !
On Windows 7 I have tried the same Nikon D810 image of your video but it is too slow to work with...
I am not a developer but I am not surprised that PhotoFlow.exe runs fast on Linux with Wine because I have read this same remark for others .exe in the past (they were faster on Linux - Wine than on Windows).Perhaps, It might be the different file system, for instance. In addition, on Linux you don't have any anti-virus running in background.
BTW, Gimp 2.8.16 (64 bit) version is extremely fast with the same jpeg images when using its clone tool. Compared to PhotoFlow there is no contest. Aside from speed, Gimp does not become slower when I work very long with its clone tool. As mentioned above PhotoFlow at first is extremely fast and responsive. It is only a few minutes it becomes extremely slow.
There is a remarkable difference between the clone/stamp tool in Gimp and PhF: the PhF one is non-destructive! What you mentioned is actually true: the tool is literally "storing" all your gestures in order to reply them on-the-fly when needed. That's probably why it gets slower the more strokes you add.
At the moment I have no solution for that, and therefore I would say that the PhF clone/stamp is fine for small retouches, not for fixing a whole picture.
On the other hand, the big advantage is that if you do changes to the layers below the clone/stamp, those changes will be automatically be taken into account in the areas that you cloned. With gimp, if you change something you need to redo the cloning work completely...
This might sound academical, but there is in fact a practical reason why this approach can provide better results: the cloning process should preferably be one of the last steps in the editing, and specifically one should avoid any increase in the global or local contrast (curves, levels, sharpening) after the cloning, otherwise the transitions around the cloned areas will become more visible.
PhF provides a way to put the clone/stamp at the top of the layer stack, and still be able to tweak the underlying layers without having to redo the cloning each time you make some changes. But this has its own drawbacks...
Hello Carmelo DrRaw ,
@Carmelo_DrRaw: At the moment I have no solution for that, and therefore I would say that the PhF clone/stamp is fine for small retouches, not for fixing a whole picture.
Yep, I totally agree.
Generally speaking, with Raw images, in truth , IMHO, I am not even sure a "clone tool" is really "useful". In short, when you decide to shoot Raw, especially as a photographer who works with full-frame Reflex (Nikon D700, Nikon D810) you are supposed to take pictures which do not need much fine-tuning later.At work, I only take macro pictures (plants diseases) and I have never needed the clone tool later (only some basic color corrections)
Maybe I miss something but I don't see why PhF's approach is expected to be slower when more and more gestures are added. If you maintain a cache of the output of the clone/stamp layer and update it after each time that the user added a gesture, then adding a new gesture requires only a single update to the cache. Consequently, adding the 2nd gesture or the 20th gesture shouldn't make a difference at all - in each case there is a single update to the cache of the previous sequence of gestures. So the only time when the number of gestures should make things slower is when all gestures need to be replayed, like when the PFI file is opened, because then the whole chain of gestures needs to be applied from the first to the last.
The fact is that there is no cache of the clone/stamp output. The pixels are re-computed each time something changes (a strokes is modified/added or one of the underlying layers is modified), so the complexity of the computations depends on how many strokes have to be rendered.
The issue with caching is that as soon as you have a relatively large number of layers, it requires quite some memory. At that point, you need to swap to disk, and deal with all the thread synchronisation issues when accessing the cache in read/write mode.
PhF approach (but this is really the approach of the underlying VIPS processing engine) is to limit as much as possible the amount of caching, and instead let the CPU re-process the pixels when needed. So the goal will be to make all tools as fast as it is reasonably possible, and to re-computation in most of the places.
Still, some "slow" tools like the RAW processor keep a cache of their output, which gets computed in the background. This cache is either kept in memory or on disk, depending on the size (I have a 500MB threshold for this, although is memory cannot be allocated the system falls back to disk caching anyhow).
However, the cache is only accessed when its processing is completed, so that there are no read/write synchronisation subtleties to take care of...
I have a bug with Uniform Fill layers. It seems that I can save a preset and when loading it again, the colour of the layer is correct, but the GUI hasn't been updated:so If I want to adjust the colour, I have to start from the beginning again.
@paynekj Hi Kevin, thanks for catching this! It should not be too hard to fix, will look into that as soon as I manage...
@paynekj Hi Kevin, could you test this new version and check if the problem with the uniform fill tool is solved for you as well?
I'll try it this evening from home, Firefox is complaining about filebin.net's security certificate and there's corporate security getting in the way as well.
@Carmelo_DrRaw Thanks, that works as required now.
I've tried the version 20170227 on windows 10.It crashes sometimes.I've attached the gdb messages. But maybe you need only them starting backtrace command ?

Featured Android Game Spotlight: Wild Blood
Hey guys Game Spotlight coming to you with some really exciting drops this week. It was hard for me to narrow down a choice with everything that has been released, but I finally came to a conclusion and I had to settle on Gamelofts first game powered by the Epic Unreal engine, Wild Blood. I want to highlight the quality of this game from the very start. Right off the bat, I noticed that Wild Blood was going to be a game I would enjoy. Seeing the games cut scenes that lead into each chapter of the game I felt that they were very well done and provide an important piece of the story that helps really plunge you into the game. As soon as gameplay starts, if you are playing this on a tegra 3 device you immediately notice the slight differences then when the game is played on a non tegra 3 device. I have this downloaded on both my Nexus 7 and my Galaxy Nexus and I do see little graphical differences here and there. I want to be clear though, for a game that is run on the Epic Unreal engine, I feel that it could look quite a bit better. It just doesn't look as good as it should. That's not to say it doesn't look good at all. It certainly does. Certain elements within the game look better than others.
Black Friday 2017 Deals: Find Great Deals on Android Smartphones, TV's, Smart Speakers, Chromebooks and More.
Moving on, let's talk about the games other attributes. The game is set in a third person mode. You play as Sir Lancelot, one of King Arthurs most trusted Knights Of The Round. Or so Arthur thought. As the story goes, Lancelot was discovered to have been unfaithful to the king with his beloved queen, and in the game Arthur goes mad, and unleashes Morgana his right hand sorceress on the village. Immediately you will find that the game has an odd style of control to it. The camera pan seems to follow you pretty well whenever you are moving around out of battle. What I have noticed and what I have seen some people complaining about is that the camera never follows you the way you want it when in battle. This isn't actually true as what really happens is that Gameloft developed the game to where the camera would follow your target in battle almost like an auto target. Once you get used to this and get the hang of it (which doesn't take long) you'll find that this style of camera control is actually quite useful. My one complaint so far is that the game seems to freeze up a bit on my Nexus 7 but not on my Galaxy Nexus. This is a little annoying, because the Nexus 7 is the device of choice when it comes to wanting to play games like this. The screen is bigger, the processor is better and more graphics driven. It seems like an update is in order to fix this minor problem. And I only say minor because it seems to freeze up more commonly if I have had the game sitting idle for a few minutes or more.
The game has a wonderful spread of customizations available to you, although not all at once of course. As with any action RPG, you must work up to these upgrades and improvements through game progression. You start off with basic armor and a basic sword attack. Not long after the game starts you'll notice that you get coin drops from every enemy you kill, but there also hidden coin drops in destructible barrels and sacks that are placed around the landscape of the levels. These coin drops, when saved up, will allow you to purchase upgrades for your weaponry, your armor, and your attack abilities as well as attributes or "stats" of your character. From what I have seen so far in game, your main weapon is a sword, but you will have the use of a bow, as well duel axes. There is what looks like three main skins of armor that you have. The main one and then two you can upgrade into, "Demon Hunter" and "Shadow Warrior". Each with increasing defense and character ability, plus they look badass. You can upgrade stats like Critical attack, Damage, quickness, and then your three elemental powers: Fire, Ice and Lightning. Each with varying levels. From what I can tell so far you have your main attack, a dash move, and then you can equip two out of the three elemental attack capabilities. Lightning and fire are my favorite. You can also equip these attributes to the bow and other weapons you have of course so don't feel like you have to stick to the sword. Not to mention they can be different from other settings. When it comes to upgrading the armor sets, you spend coins on things like more HP, MP, stamina and speed of movement. Which I think makes for a well-rounded system of character progression.
You have the use of health and mana potions throughout the game to boost your survivability but they don't come often, so use them wisely. Coins for that matter don't come as easily as I thought but they aren't scarce so that's a good thing. However, despite Gameloft charging $6.99 for this game they have added the ability to purchase more coins for a boost in early game if you so choose. The coins of course will allow you to upgrade your stats and weapon/armor abilities much sooner than if you were just to collect the coins on your own. I'll admit it's tempting at times because of a tough part here and there. But that takes all the fun out of it. If you are one of those people that just likes the game for the story though, and care not if the game is too easy, then you can buy the coins in sets of $1.99 all the way up to $99.99 depending on how much difficulty you are willing to forfeit.
Overall, Wild Blood set out to deliver a challenging yet fun and visually impressive game, with a good storyline and plenty of upgradeables. I think it delivered on most of these levels. Fun? Check! Good story? Check! Visually impressive? For the most part. When it comes down to it, the game is a lot of fun and in my opinion is definitely worth the $6.99. Run and pick this one up for a good action RPG game. Especially if you long for the days of Dungeon Hunter 2 style of play. This reminds me of that, but in overdrive. Enough talk, it's the weekend. Buy this. Play it!

can't find which rpm owns /usr/include/xapian directory
some other SPEC cleanups
1) use buildroot as
BuildRoot: %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-root-%(%{__id_u} -n)
2) Not found %{?dist}. Depends whether you like to add disttag though its not
3) Vendor field is not needed.
4) don't add any .la files. Refer
any reasons to use
[ "%{buildroot}" != "/" ] && rm -rf %{buildroot}
instead only rm -rf %{buildroot}
as suggested at
I fixed all the comments except:
> can't find which rpm owns /usr/include/xapian directory
It's owned by xapian-devel I think, maybe I'm missing what is the problem exactly.
rpmlint report just this now:
W: xapian-core-libs no-documentation
I think that's fine, the docs are in xapian-core.
It's certainly appreciated that you're trying to get xapian packages into
fedora, but please package Xapian 1.0.1 rather than what appears to be a rather
old SVN snapshot (from the SVN revision in the version string).
1.0.1 is more stable, and has an API and ABI that should remain compatible for
some time, which is better for users and for yourself as package maintainer.
Users reporting problems with packages of old SVN snapshots won't get much
sympathy upstream - they'll just be directed to the unofficial RPMs.
So do yourself, your users, and upstream a favour and package the latest
released version!
Sure, sounds good, I didn't know there was a release, I'll update the source.
Updated the source:
Change Souce0 to http://www.oligarchy.co.uk/xapian/1.0.1/%{name}-%{version}.tar.gz
+ package builds in mock (F7 i386).
+ rpmlint is silent for SRPM and for RPMs.

Sopwith Camel & Fokker Triplane
Article by Rich Thistle ©
On the evening of April 20, 1918, Manfred von Richthofen, Rittmeister and Geschwader commander led six of the pilots under his command into a clearing sky. Previously grounded by bad weather, they were anxious to shake off the gloomy mood which had settled on their forward airfield near Cappy, France.
Anticipation of aerial combat and even more victories buoyed their spirits. The "Flying Circus" (so called because they moved from airfield to airfield on trains just like circuses) had been a highly successful unit. Confidently, behind their highly-respected leader, they set out to add to that success. But in fact, that evening would witness the final two victories achieved by Germany's legendary "Red Baron". Two quick victories over arguably the best British fighter of the war would put the cap on his meteoric flying career.
His famous blood-red, triple-winged mount was brought to life by Antony Fokker's brilliant chief designer Reinhold Platz. Although inevitably linked with von Richthofen, the Fokker triplane was really responsible for more victories in the hands of Lieutenant Werner Voss. Von Richthofen actually scored most of his 80 victories in other types, the last 21 in the diminutive Fokker Triplane. Although built in small numbers and outclassed by what some claim was the best machine of its type built by either side, the Fokker D-7, the resulting Fokker Dr .I (dreidecker or triplane), is probably still the most renowned fighter aircraft of World War I.
Its design was Gemany's answer to the clever Sopwith Triplane, first released by the Sopwith Experimental Department in May 1916. Built on the slightly modified fuselage of the firm's Pup, perhaps the most agile and well-loved scout of its day, Sopwith's triplane provided better pilot visibility and improved performance including speed and climb rate. It was not until April 1918 that the Sopwith really entered the thick of the fighting in the Battle of Arras and as crashed British triplanes fell into enemy hands, the race was on by many companies to build the German equivalent. It was the shrewd and cunning Dutch designer Antony Fokker who achieved success after surreptitiously and illegally shipping the first crashed example to his factory.
The resulting design was not the fastest fighter in the air over France but it was the most maneuverable. With an upper wing span of under just over 23 feet, - the two lower wings were progressively narrower - the diminutive triplane was first designed with completely cantilevered wings. The bottom two were attached to the top and bottom of the fuselage, and the third wing was carried above on two clean inverted-Vee steel struts. Only slight wing vibration was noticed during test flights carried out by Fokker himself, but as a result, single, streamlined wooden I-type struts were added near the wing tips. Unlike the Sopwith which had ailerons on each wing, the Fokker triplane carried them only on the upper wing. Armament consisted of two 7.92mm Spandaus which used the synchronized gear pioneered earlier by Antony himself to allow forward firing through the propeller arc.
Powered by a 110 hp rotary engine, the agile little fighter finally put German flyers on a par with the S.E.5a, Spads and Bristol Fighters. Early successes -mainly due to its extreme maneuverability- followed the introduction of the Dr .I to front-line service in October 1917. Just over 300 were built. Fully operational by late November, its career at the front was brief. By May 1918, 171 were in front-line service, and by late May the type had been withdrawn to home defense where 69 were registered in service at the Armistice.
The final two adversaries of von Richthofen's flying career were both flying the Sopwith F-1 Camel, generally conceded to be the best British single-seat fighter of the war. Designed by Sopwith's Herbert Smith as the successor of the popular Pup, the Camel first flew as the F-1 in December of 1916. Seeming bigger than it actually was, the Camel sported a deeper, slightly shorter fuselage than its predecessor, accentuated by the hump of the machine gun fairings forward of the cockpit. To facilitate construction it was decided to build the upper wing flat with no dihedral, leading to the doubling of the dihedral on the lower wing. This created another readily recognizable characteristic, the Camel's "tapered gap".
Several reasons explained the Camel's well-deserved reputation as a "beast" to fly. Although the aircraft weighed only 929 pounds, most of its mass, including engine, propeller, fuel tank, armament and cockpit was concentrated in the front 7 ft. of the fuselage. In addition, its strong rotary engine created a great deal of torque during takeoff and violent maneuvers. This created an extremely maneuverable aircraft but one which displayed some uncomfortable turning characteristics. In a left turn the nose rose sharply. In a right turn the opposite occurred requiring coarse use of rudder, without which a spin was inevitable and sudden. In the hands of a novice the Camel could - and often did - prove fatal. But an experienced pilot could use its temperamental nature and the high torque produced by its large rotary engine to advantage in a dogfight. Reportedly, the only World War I aircraft which could out-maneuver it was the Fokker Dr. I..
Armament consisted of twin, forward-firing, synchronized 0.303 in Vickers machine guns. The type owes part of its great success to the fact that it was the first British fighter to have twin guns, although similarly armed German aircraft had been around for some time. Not entering service until mid-1917, an amazing 5,490 Camels were built. Credited with 1,294 "kills" of which 386 were scored by RNAS aircraft, the Camel chalked up an impressive list of firsts. It was the first single-seat fighter to operate against German night bombers, the first dive-bomber, the first British armored ground attack aircraft, and the first airplane to be successfully launched from a dirigible in flight. In August 1918, a Camel flown by Lieutenant S.D Culley brought down the German super Zeppelin L-53 from an altitude of 20,000 feet. And, in perhaps the most controversial Camel victory of all, Canadian Captain A. Roy Brown of No.209 Squadron RAF is said to have shot down von Richthofen himself in his Dr .I on April 21,1918.
Unfortunately, for Maj. Raymond-Barker, commanding RAF Squadron No.3 on that fateful April evening in French skies, the sometimes demonstrable superior flying characteristics of the Camel over the Dr .I proved insignificant. His Camel caught in the sights of the famous red triplane, the Squadron Leader quickly paid the ultimate price, coming to earth in a fiery crash. Then, almost immediately, von Richthofen attached himself to the tail of young 2nd/Lt. D.G. Lewis. After a desperate but fruitless attempt at evasive maneuvering, Lewis achieved the dubious distinction of becoming the final victim of the famous German flyer. His Camel riddled by the machine guns of the Dr .I, the cloth-covered fuselage beginning to burn behind him, the nineteen year-old RAF pilot force landed within sight of the burning wreckage of his commander's Camel.
In my painting ENCOUNTER WITH A LEGEND a shaken but otherwise unhurt Lewis walks away from his pranged Camel as a red triplane circles low to have a look, possibly considering the chances of landing to claim a physical trophy piece to add to its famous pilot's collection. But, as it turned out, Manfred von Richthofen had just achieved his final victory. By the next evening all that was left of Germany's most famous flyer was his bullet-riddled body and the wreckage of his famous red triplane. The ultimate German flyer, leader and teacher had become an aristocratic legend, the 'Red Baron'.

(Corporal punishment-induced trauma)
IMAGE AT RIGHT: Paddle (21.5 inches long by 3.5 inches wide) used on Mississippi middle school children until November 2002.
Getting it in Tennessee, June 2001
High school football players receive punishment from their coach: 5 blows to the buttocks with a wooden board for a failing grade, 3 for a D, and 3 for poor conduct
A VIEWER COMPLAINS: I can't make heads nor tails of this photo! Help?!
J. RIAK REPLIES: Agreed, it isn't the best. But it's one of a very few authentic candid photos of a paddling in progress in a public school. Dominating the central portion of the photo is the back of the paddler-- a very large man wearing a straw-colored print shirt, probably a former athlete. His head is tilted forward, like that of a golfer about to strike the ball. The paddle is the bright oblong object in the lower right of the photo. The student being punished is in total shadow at the left side of the photo. He is standing against the blackboard. His body is arched forward, apparently in reaction to just having been struck. The gold colored globe-shaped objects that can be seen between the paddler and the student are football helmets lined up along the wall. At least 15 students, all intently watching the event, are gathered around. Two appear to be laughing. One is blocking his ears. When the paddler became aware he had been photographed, he told the photographer to leave the room.
"First, we must do everything in our power to ensure the safety of our children. When children and teenagers go to school afraid of being bullied, or beaten, or worse, it is the ultimate betrayal of adult responsibility. It communicates the victory of moral chaos... No parent in America -- no matter their income -- should be forced to send their child to a school where violence reigns. No child in America -- regardless of background -- should be forced to risk their lives in order to learn." President George W. Bush

Arithmetic error in BasicGUI.cppReporter: desttinghim | Status: open | Last Modified: October 23, 2016, 01:09:31 PM
int gui_style_create(){
gui::gui_data_elements.emplace(gui::gui_data_elements_maxid, gui::Style());
gui::Style &sty = gui::gui_data_elements[gui::gui_data_elements_maxid];
sty.id = gui::gui_data_elements_maxid;
//printf("Creating style with size %i\n", sizeof(gui::gui_data_elements[gui::gui_data_elements_maxid]));
return gui::gui_data_elements_maxid++;
This piece of code seems to be failing. Specifically, the emplace command is triggering an Arithmetic error. It looks like a modulus is being done, and that is causing a divide by zero error.
"/tmp/egm1633959076788919710.tmp" terminated by signal SIGFPE (Floating point exception)
This is the error I get when I manually run the compiled code from the command line. This problem appears to happen with every project. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
This is a hashing bug in the BasicGUI extension: #929 (comment)
For now you can disable it by going to game settings->extensions and untick basicGUI
For now you can disable it by going to game settings->extensions and untick basicGUI
Alright, that worked. Took a little bit to find that. What's the difference between the green puzzle piece extensions and the ones in game settings?
I've always assumed the green puzzle piece was meant to be for GEX extensions but I don't think they were ever implemented, @RobertBColton please correct me if I'm wrong.
Hmm. Maybe the BasicGUI extension should be disabled by default until the problem is resolved, because it's difficult to tell what is going on from within LateralGM. To me, it just looked like my code was not being run until I dug a little deeper.

I've been thinking of giving the Squiggy a shot for my first race. Not expecting to win the event or anything...I just want to get out there, ride, and feed my inner competitive animal that has been stored up for a few years. I honestly have no idea what to expect. Would this be a good taste of what XC and enduro racing is all about? What advice can you give to a complete newb to the sport? My wife and a couple friends have volunteered to be my support crew...is there a limit to how many people can come to help me out and keep my spirits up?
Cool beans. Thanks for the info. I'm mailing in my registration tomorrow. Here is an odd question. So what if nature calls half way through my lap? Would I be considered off course? Or should I just pull the psycho astronaut maneuver and wear an adult diaper?
Hang it over the bar and pee, unless you're not that big and need to stop and water the bushes.
On a more serious note, when does everyone know what the official course will be? Is it the day before, the day of, or....? I'm trying to hit up most of the more difficult trails as part of my normal routine (Indian and Heartbreak specifically).

4K offers viewers four times times the eroticism — or at least, four times the number of pixels.
Warner Brothers is doing it. Lionsgate is doing it. Comcast, DirectTV, and Netflix are doing it. It only makes sense companies devoted to doin' it are doing it. 4K content may be the future, and according to the Wall Street Journal, adult film production company Naughty America just announced their plan to offer ultra-high definition 4K content. That means that porn is about to get real. Hair-follicle-revealing, wrinkle-enhancing, is-that-a-goosebump-or-does-that-actor-have-mild-eczema real. Because while regular HD viewing gives fans sex at a 1080p resolution, 4K offers viewers four times times the eroticism — or at least, four times the number of pixels.
But moving to 4K is no small undertaking: according to the WSJ, the required expenses — new, 4K-specific editing equipment, extra server space to store and access the ultra-crisp films — are enough to "sink the company, should the format fail to take off." Still, Naughty America CEO Andreas Hronopoulos is confident that the risk is going to be worth it. "Our customers want to get as close to reality as they can get, without reality getting in the way," he says. And he's not alone in his analysis. Last year, Huccio.com became the first site to offer "4K erotic content," and the Verge reports that while porn production company Pink Visual isn't committed yet, they, too, are "investigating the feasibility of 4K videos."
Not that everyone in the industry is convinced that the extra pixels are worth the investment. A recent industry survey showed that 40 percent of adult filmmakers "didn't think the technology would do much for business"— a somewhat reasonable position, given that, to get the full 4K effect, viewers need a special 4K TV. And while 4K TVs may be the TVs of the very near future (and expensive present), they're not a household standard. Yet.
But given the number of 4K announcements at last week's Consumer Electronics Show, Mr. Hronopoulos's faith in our sexy 4K future seems well placed. Our sexy, extremely well-defined, very clear, up-close-and-personal 4K future.
