Trump: Paris Attacks ‘Much Different’ If France Had More Guns

Ted Johnson

Senior Editor@tedstew

I am 100% with what mr trump said,the situation would be much difficult for those bastard terrorist ,and this president in USA wants us to be disarmed , Is he crazy or is conspiracy to destroy US too by disarming the people

Donald Trump, speaking at a rally on Saturday in Beaumont, Texas, suggested that fewer people would have been killed had more civilians been armed.

“When you look at Paris, toughest gun laws in the world, nobody had guns but the bad guys,” he said. “Nobody had guns. And they were just shooting them one by one, and then they broke in and had a big shootout and ultimately killed the terrorists. And I will tell you what — you can say what you want, if they had guns, if our people had guns, if they were allowed to carry, it would have been a much, much different situation.”

Trump’s comments echoed one he made following the attacks on Charlie Hebdo in January, when he tweeted, “Isn’t it interesting that the tragedy in Paris took place in one of the toughest gun control countries in the world?” That tweet gained new attention on Friday when many thought it had been sent out on Friday night, even though it had been sent in January. Gerard Araud, the French Ambassador to the United States, tweeted out a response to Trump’s tweet, calling it “repugnant in its lack of any human decency.”

Trump also criticized President Obama for saying, in an interview on Friday before the attacks, that ISIL “continues to shrink.” “He is just so bad! CHANGE!” Trump said on Twitte

You can follow those recommendation for the manufacture of their chess engine to make the best from them

For examples:

From the magician Houdine

Cores and Threads Management

Top  Previous  Next

Threads Maximum number of threads (cores) used by the analysis. Default is hardware-dependent, min 1, max 6 (Standard) or 32 (Pro). Houdini will automatically limit the number of threads to the number of logical processors of your hardware. If your computer supports hyper-threading it is recommended not using more threads than physical cores, as the extra hyper-threads would usually degrade the performance of the engine. See the FAQ about hyper-threading. The FAQ about computer responsiveness contains some tips about using the correct number of threads to improve the responsiveness of your computer while the engine is running.

Hash

Amount of hash table memory used by Houdini, in MB.

Default 128, min 4, max 1024 (32-bit) or 4096 (64-bit Standard) or 262144 (64-bit Pro).

The value is rounded down to a power of 2 (4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, 16384, 32768, 65536, 131072, 262144 MB).

For infinite analysis or long time control matches you should use the largest hash that fits in the physical memory of your system. For example, on a system with 4 GB of memory you can use up to 2048 MB hash size.

For shorter games, for example 3 to 5 minute games, it’s better to use 256 MB or 512 MB as this will provide the best performance. For 16 min games 1024 or 2048 MB hash size should be fine.

Position Learning

Top  Previous  Next

With Position Learning Houdini will remember advantageous principal variations it has analyzed by storing them in a learning disk file, for reuse in later games or analysis. The feature is completely transparent to the user, once Learning is enabled the data will be saved and loaded automatically. The Position Learning is available in analysis and match play. But remember that it will only kick in for certain positions in which there is something to learn, i.e. when the score is significantly above the static evaluation of the position. In quiet, equal positions there's usually not much to learn. Position Learning works best for positions where a good move exists that raises the score significantly above the statical evaluation. Learning is less useful and sometimes counterproductive for positions where many more or less equivalent moves exist and the goal is to avoid bad moves. To improve the efficiency of the learning the feature only kicks in when a certain positive scoring threshold is exceeded. By default this Learning Threshold is put at 10 centi-pawn (0.1 pawn). Although the learning file grows very slowly, make sure not to allow the file to grow too large as the automatic loading may slow down the engine at the start of the analysis. The impact of Position Learning can be illustrated as follows. When running the Eigenmann Ending Test Suite with 20 seconds/move on a single-core laptop producing about 1,000 kN/s, Houdini finds 77 out of 100 solutions, the total solution time is 12:06. The test run produces a Learning File of about 27 kB. Running the Test Suite a second time demonstrates the profit of the Learning File. Houdini now finds 80 solutions and the total solution time drops to 9:42. Learning (checkbox) When Learning is enabled the learning file will automatically be loaded at the start of the analysis, and further analysis will be appended to the file. When Learning is enabled, automatically the Never Clear Hash option will be activated as clearing the hash would be counterproductive for the learning. Learning File File name for saving the learning data. A full file name is required, for example C:\Chess\Learn001.dat. By default Houdini will use the Learn.dat file in the "My Documents" folder of the current user. The learning file will be updated at the start of a new game or when you close the engine or GUI. Learning Threshold Min 0, Max 200, Default 10. The Learning Threshold is the minimum positive score of a principal variation that is saved. When Learning Threshold is larger the learning file will grow slower, as fewer moves will satisfy the condition.. Ponder (checkbox) Have the engine think during its opponent's time. The Ponder feature (sometimes called "Permanent Brain") is controlled by the chess GUI, and usually doesn't appear in the configuration window.

Who wants a Muslin husband for our daughter? what a big mistake ehh

Islam and their laws (Sharia) are terrible! Let's look at some of the facts: Although various opinions exist regarding Islamic marriage laws, the following constants remain:

• A man is entitled to up to four wives, but a woman may only have one husband. In Western societies, a man typically only takes one wife.
• The husband (or his family) pays a “bride price” or "dower" (mahr, which is money or property paid to the bride) which she is entitled to keep. This “mahr” is in exchange for sexual submission (tamkin). Sexual submission is traditionally regarded as unconditional consent for the remainder of the marriage.
• A man can divorce his wife by making a declaration (talaq) in front of an Islamic judge irrespective of the woman's consent. Even her presence is not required. For a woman to divorce a man (khula), his consent is required.
• The husband is responsible for the financial upkeep of home (nafaqa).
• “Temporary marriage” (even for less than a half an hour) is allowed by some scholars, others regard it as a form of prostitution.
• Wife beating permitted according to several scholars.
• There is no joint property; the man owns all property, (except for what the woman owned before the marriage).
• There is no specific minimum age for marriage, but most agree a woman must have reached puberty. Marriage as young as 12 or 13 is not uncommon in Muslim-majority countries. In Yemen in 2013, there was a highly publicized case of an eight-year-old girl who died of internal injuries suffered on her wedding night.According to Al Jazeera "Nearly 14 percent of Yemeni girls [are] married before the age of 15 and 52 percent before the age of 18." The case prompted calls for Yemen to pass a law setting a minimum age for marriage, although it has not yet done so!

As i wrote: Islam and Sharia are terrible. How can we tolerate this?

Sharia Law

Sharia law is the law of Islam. The Sharia (also spelledShariah or Shari'a) law is cast from the actions and words ofMuhammad, which are called "Sunnah," and the Quran, which he authored.

The Sharia law itself cannot be altered, but the interpretation of the Sharia law, called "figh," by imams is given some leeway.

As a legal system, the Sharia law covers a very wide range of topics. While other legal codes deal primarily with public behavior, Sharia law covers public behavior, private behavior and private beliefs. Of all legal systems in the world today, Islam's Sharia law is the most intrusive and strict, especially against women.

According to the Sharia law:

•  Theft is punishable by amputation of the right hand (above).
•  Criticizing or denying any part of the Quran is punishable by death.
•  Criticizing or denying Muhammad is a prophet is punishable by death.
•  Criticizing or denying Allah, the moon god of Islam is punishable by death.
•  A Muslim who becomes a non-Muslim is punishable by death.
•  A non-Muslim who leads a Muslim away from Islam is punishable by death.
•  A non-Muslim man who marries a Muslim woman is punishable by death.
•  A man can marry an infant girl and consummate the marriage when she is 9 years old.
•  Girls' clitoris should be cut (per Muhammad's words in Book 41, Kitab Al-Adab, Hadith 5251).
•  A woman can have 1 husband, but a man can have up to 4 wives; Muhammad can have more.
•  A man can unilaterally divorce his wife but a woman needs her husband's consent to divorce.
•  A man can beat his wife for insubordination.
•  Testimonies of four male witnesses are required to prove rape against a woman.
•  A woman who has been raped cannot testify in court against her rapist(s).
•  A woman's testimony in court, allowed only in property cases, carries half the weight of a man's.
•  A female heir inherits half of what a male heir inherits.
•  A woman cannot drive a car, as it leads to fitnah (upheaval).
•  A woman cannot speak alone to a man who is not her husband or relative.
•  Meat to be eaten must come from animals that have been sacrificed to Allah - i.e., be Halal.
•  Muslims should engage in Taqiyya and lie to non-Muslims to advance Islam.
•  The list goes on.

Which countries use the Sharia law?

Muslims' aspired Sharia state is Saudi Arabia, the birthplace of Muhammad that has no legal code other than the Sharia and enforces it without mercy (see Sharia law in Saudi Arabia). But as detailed herewith, the Sharia law is also used in full or in part, nationally or regionally in:

•  United States of America*
•  United Kingdom*
•  Canada*

•  Afghanistan (89%)**
•  Algeria
•  Austria*
•  Bahrain
•  Bangladesh (82%)**
•  Brunei
•  Comoros
•  Djibouti (82%)**
•  Egypt (74%)**
•  Eritrea
•  Ethiopia
•  France*
•  Gambia
•  Germany*
•  Ghana
•  India
•  Indonesia (72%)**
•  Iran
•  Iraq (91%)**
•  Jordan (71%)**
•  Kenya
•  Kuwait
•  Libya
•  Lebanon
•  Malaysia (86%)**
•  Maldives
•  Mauritania
•  Morocco (83%)**
•  The Netherlands*
•  Nigeria
•  Oman
•  Pakistan (84%)**
•  Palestinian territories (Gaza strip & the West Bank - 89%)**
•  Qatar
•  Saudi Arabia
•  Somalia
•  Spain*
•  Sudan
•  Sri Lanka
•  Syria
•  Tanzania
•  Thailand (77%)**
•  Uganda
•  United Arab Emirates (UAE)
•  Yemen

* In the United States of America, Canada, United Kingdom, and other European countries that resist the penetration of Sharia law, it has proven adept at infiltrating elements of the society that are left vulnerable (see Sharia law in America and the Islamization of America).

** Percent of Muslims who favor making Sharia the official law in their country (source: Pew Forum Research, 2013). In many countries where an official secular legal system exists alongside Sharia, the vast majority of their Muslim citizens favor making Sharia the official law. For example, while the Egyptian military may have blocked the Muslim Brotherhood's efforts in this direction, 74% of Egypt's Muslims still favor it. Even in Jordan, Indonesia and Malaysia - Muslim countries with progressive images - the relatively secular ruling elite sit atop Muslim masses, 71%, 72% and 86% respectively of whom want their countries to be ruled by Sharia. And in Iraq, where the United States shed blood and money for over a decade to try to plant democracy, 91% of its Muslims want to live under Sharia.

The number of countries that adopt (elements of) the Sharia law continues to grow around the world, as does the depth of its penetration in the countries that already use it. This penetration is not by happenstance; it is managed to occur in five phases: see Spread of Islam and how to Stop Islam.
