Gary Ilminen sporting the Alpinestars T-Dyno waterproof jacket.
Versatility in riding gear is a real asset if you ride where there are four distinct seasons and not all of them favor motorcycle riding.
Making the most of the available days means having gear that will help you stay warm and dry on those days when riding conditions are less than ideal or can quickly get that way.
The Alpinestars T-Dyno waterproof jacket is just such a piece of gear. It is available in the red/white/black color combination shown or black/white and both include reflective logos and piping on front, back and sleeves to enhance visibility in low light.
The 600 denier polyester outer shell has a polyurethane (PU) coating that creates a breathable waterproof membrane. Inside, a zip-out insulated long-sleeve lining backs up the outer shell for cold-weather comfort.
The Alpinestars T-Dyno design includes something a number of other riding jackets with zip-out linings don't: a wide, robust interior storm flap that seals the opening of the YKK main zipper. Absence of a storm flap (exterior or interior) on some jackets I've had allows cold wind to penetrate the front of the jacket, even if the insulated lining keeps the wind out everywhere else. That feature in combination with the shell and lining, hook and loop closures around the sleeve cuffs and a hook and loop closure around the stand-up collar make the T-Dyno remarkably windproof. Riding on a sunny but unseasonably cold, windy day in November proved how well the combination works.
The jacket provides enhanced impact protection, as well with removable padding over the chest and back as well as CE-approved Bio-armor at the elbows and shoulders. The chest and back padding is accessible via a zipper across the bottom edge of the back of the jacket. The chest and back padding are not CE-approved armor, but they can be upgraded with Alpinestars back and chest protectors as accessories.
Exterior pockets have YKK zipper closures and two interior chest pockets are also provided. A zipper across the back of the lower edge of the jacket allows the jacket to be zipped together with a variety of Alpinestars riding pants.

Heian Shodan is the first kata a beginner to Shotokan Karate learns, and is fundamentally one of the most important kata you study. Taking roughly 40 seconds to perform, this kata contains 21 movements.
The second of the Heian Kata series is used in the yellow belt test. With 26 movements, this kata should take about 50-60 seconds to perform and is more physically demanding than Heian Shodan.
This kata introduces many new techniques, the most complex being the disengage of the arm followed by the spinning tetsui. Just through studying this technique, you learn to control your centre of balance, you learn to spin quickly and efficiently and you learn to generate power through moving your body's mass.
Yondan introduces a new type of rhythm to kata training. It has interesting contrasts between very deep and slow to incredibly sharp movements. This contrast between slow and fast introduces rhythm to the beginning student, and helps them to develop the control to not just rush through the kata. It helps them develop their leg movements, and the ability to synchronize leg and arm movements.
Heian Godan is a very visually exciting kata. Being the most athletic of the Heian series, this kata employs movements, techniques and concepts that stretch the skills of the beginning student.
Here, not only must the karateka further develop the vital contrast between fast and slow, but must also effectively execute a jump with speed, balance and grace.


Live Sensical: How to Build a Mindset that Doesn't Blow (Up).
How to Build a Mindset that Doesn't Blow (Up).
How to Build a Mindset that Doesn't Blow (Up) Your World.
You don t want to be walking along and when someone sets off a bomb under the sidewalk to send you flying to an uncertain landing.
That s the same with your belief system. The bombs ready to go off are the uninspected bits and pieces which don t add up and don t really make any sense.
But you ll only see them (and defuse them) when you look them over carefully.
Hopefully, by now, you ve gotten the message that you have to do this with everything you ve studied, heard, seen, or experienced.
The way to make a bomb-proof belief system is to take the exploding parts out of your existing system as you rebuild it from the ground up.
Next, you build on natural systems that always work. We ve covered how to make systems for yourself through your own analysis, and it s a system itself.
As we ve covered, our culture pays homage to the God of Science. And that god is a fickle one, 50% full of falsehoods, fiction, and fantasy. The rest is dubious, as it s built in a rickety structure – on sand.
There is cause and effect. But a lot of what causes things are the way people think they want their lives to turn. It s more built on archetypes and the Hero's Journey than it is some mechanical plot machine.
The trick is to build your life so you can causatively feel good, or feel better, any time you are experiencing something that feels a way you don t like.
The stuff that works for you will help you feel the way you want every time you put it to use.
The trick is always to Trust, but Verify all data coming into your life. And you have to keep track of your feelings (not your emotions) and look for inspiration on how you should be changing things so that you can and will feel better.
You can feel a calm, cheerful, expectant attitude all the time. Calmly viewing things as they are. Cheerful and optimistic about the situation you are in. Expectant that your goals are very close to being completed.
Recall that phrase W. Clement Stone used when anything happened around him, That s Good! And then he d get busy finding what was good about it and how he was able to use that situation as an opportunity for even more success.
And also recall his phrase, I feel healthy, I feel happy, I feel terrific! when starting his day. Just make sure you say it to your own reflection in the mirror. That s the power of it – charge up your own batteries first thing in the morning.
Similarly, surround yourself only with people who share your attitude and approach. Build your own mastermind group to accomplish a shared goal. Weed out the naysayers and critically-bent.
And you ll find yourself part of that automatically successful 5%.

Der Friedensstein ist ein als Denkmal aufgestellter Findling in Kühlungsborn in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.

Lage
Er befindet sich im östlichen Teil des Stadtwald Kühlungsborn im Ortsteil Brunshaupten (Kühlungsborn-Ost). Im Umfeld aufgestellte Schilder informieren über die Geschichte des Denkmals.

Findling
Der senkrecht stehende Findling hat ein Volumen von 5 m³ bei einer Höhe von 3,8 Metern, Breite von 2,35 Metern und einer Dicke von 1,0 Meter. Andere Angaben geben die Höhe mit 3,65 und die Breite mit 2,25 Metern an. Es handelt sich um einen Gneis, sein Gewicht wird auf 14 Tonnen geschätzt. Der Stein ist als Geotop beim Landesamt für Umwelt, Naturschutz und Geologie Mecklenburg-Vorpommern unter der Nummer G2_580 erfasst. Er wird regionalgeologisch dem Jungmoränengebiet zugeordnet.

Gestaltung und Geschichte
Der Stein war 1906 vom Bauern Carl Rickert bei Rodungsarbeiten gefunden worden. Im Sommer 1906 ließ der Badeverein von Brunshaupten, veranlasst durch Förster Christian Schütt, den Stein freilegen und aufrichten. Es entstand die Idee, den Findling dem Gedenken an Reichskanzler Otto von Bismarck (1815–1898) zu widmen. Aus diesem Grund wurde auf einer Seite der schlichte Schriftzug BISMARCK in den Stein eingearbeitet. Die sehr schlichte Gestaltung entsprach der Empfehlung des Heimatbundes Mecklenburg. Neben dem Stein wurde eine aus dem Sachsenwald, einem Bismarck von Kaiser Wilhelm I. geschenkten Waldstück bei Hamburg, stammende Eiche gepflanzt.

Die feierliche Einweihung des Bismarcksteins fand am 9. April 1908 statt. Zugleich beging man den Geburtstag des Großherzogs Friedrich Franz IV. Um 14.30 Uhr versammelte sich der örtliche Kriegerverein sowie die Schulen in der Dünenstraße vor Westphals Hotel. Es bildete sich ein Festumzug der durch die Linden- und Strandstraße zur Neuen Reihe zog. An der Spitze des Zugs liefen das Trommler- und Pfeiferkorps der örtlichen Schule und das Musikkorps des Kriegervereins. Bei Schwermers Hotel schloss sich der Turnverein und bei Büngers Hotel der Gesangverein an. Am Gemeindebüro folgten die Gemeindevertreter von Arendsee und Brunshaupten.

Der Umzug erreichte dann den Bismarckstein, dessen Umfeld vom Kunstgärtner B. Knaack gestaltet worden war. Der Gesangsverein stimmte das Lied Die Himmel rühmen des Ewigen Ehre an. Es folgte eine Ansprache des Pfarrers Schreiber über Bismarck, den er als Baumeister des deutschen Reichs charakterisierte. Die Rede endete mit Hochrufen auf Kaiser und Großherzog. Gemeinsam wurden dann die Lieder Deutschland, Deutschland über alles und Gott segne Friedrich Franz abgesungen. Es folgten weitere Reden und Kranzniederlegungen. Zum Abschluss trug der Gesangsverein das Lied Und hörst du das mächtige Klingen vor. Der Fotograf C. Schröder aus Kröpelin fertigte Aufnahmen an. Der Festumzug formierte sich dann erneut und zog durch die Strandstraße und den Bülowweg zurück zu Westphals Hotel, wo ein Konzert und abends ein Ball stattfanden. Weitere Tanzveranstaltungen gab es in den Gasthäusern Zur Einigkeit und Zum grünen Kranze.

In der Zeit der DDR kollidierte eine Bismarckverehrung mit der sozialistischen Staatsdoktrin der DDR. Die Kühlungsborner Stadtverwaltung ließ den Stein daher 1952 umgestalten. Der Bismarck-Schriftzug wurde entfernt und durch die Inschrift Friedensstein ersetzt.

World Equestrian Games hopeful Johnstone leads the Adelaide CCI**** at the 2017 Mitsubishi Motors Australian International Three Day Event after the Pryde's EasiFeed Dressage phase.
With only 298 days to go until the start of the World Equestrian Games (WEG) in Tryon, Australia's Eventing hopefuls were out in force to impress selectors with Sonja Johnson riding Parkiarrup Illicit Liaison (67.02% with 49.50 penalties) and Megan Jones riding Kirby Park Impress (66.91% with 49.60 penalties) coming in second and third respectively, but unable to take the top spot away from Johnstone.
In a wet and windy Adelaide, Johnstone and his mount Balmoral Sensation were the standout performers on the first day, riding to a score of 69.40% with 45.90 penalties. They have put themselves in a strong position going into tomorrow's influential cross country, with Johnson and Jones close behind. Last year's winner Hazel Shannon, with Willingapark Clifford, are currently sitting in 10th position and Rio 2016 Olympian Stuart Tinney and his mount War Hawk, currently in 15th.
Clarke Johnstone and Balmoral Sensation started strongly after a nearly 24 hour journey from New Zealand.
"Taking everything into consideration, I am very happy to be in the lead at this early stage. He is a great jumper, with a lovely temperament and I am looking forward to what we can both produce over the next 2 days".
Thousands of equestrian fans are expected to flock to Adelaide's beautiful parklands to enjoy the Qantas Cross Country Day tomorrow, where the competition and stakes will be high and the battle for the lead continues.
The CCI2* begins at 9:30am, the CCI4* at 12:30 and the CIC3* and 2:30pm.

Sudan's Bashir to appear in court on graft charge: prosecutor
June 16, 2019 (5 weeks ago) 10:17 am

By AGENCE FRANCE PRESSE, Khartoum, Sudan, Jun 16 – Ousted Sudanese leader Omar al-Bashir is to appear in court next week to face charges of corruption and illegal possession of foreign currency, the country's acting prosecutor general announced Saturday.
The announcement came more than two months after the military overthrew Bashir following mass nationwide protests against his iron-fisted rule.
Bashir "will appear in court next week following charges of corruption and possessing foreign currency", Al-Waleed Sayyed Ahmed told reporters, without specifying the day.
On Thursday, an unnamed official quoted by the official SUNA news agency said Bashir was facing charges including "possessing foreign funds, acquiring suspected and illegal wealth, and ordering the (state of) emergency".
In April, Sudan's army ruler General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan said more than $113 million worth of cash in three currencies had been seized from Bashir's residence.
He said a team of police, army and security agents found seven million euros ($7.8 million), $350,000 and five billion Sudanese pounds ($105 million).
When he imposed the state of emergency on February 22 in a bid to quell protests that erupted in December, Bashir issued a decree making it illegal to possess more than 5,000 dollars in foreign currency.
Bashir, who was toppled on April 11 following months of protests and is currently being held in the capital's Kober prison, swept to power in an Islamist-backed coup in 1989.
Sudan suffered high rates of corruption during his rule, ranking 172 out of 180 countries in Transparency International's 2018 Corruption Perceptions Index.
Last month, Ahmed ordered Bashir questioned over money-laundering and "financing terrorism".
– Charges against Bashir aides –
In May, the prosecutor general said Bashir had been charged over the killings of protesters during the anti-regime demonstrations, which eventually led to his ouster.
Ahmed also said on Saturday that other "symbols of the ousted regime" were under investigation.
He did not name the others accused but said most of the charges were over the "possession of land".
Protests against Bashir's rule initially erupted on December 19 after his then government tripled the price of bread.

He was ousted by the army after thousands of demonstrators launched a sit-in outside military headquarters in central Khartoum from April 6.
But army generals have resisted protesters' demands to hand power to a civilian administration.
The protesters kept up their sit-in even as their leaders held several rounds of talks with the generals on installing civilian rule.
But talks broke down in May over who would lead a new overall governing body — a civilian or soldier.
And on June 3, armed men in military fatigues launched a crackdown on demonstrators camped outside the army complex that left dozens of people dead and hundreds wounded.
Protesters and witnesses accuse a feared paramilitary group, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), of carrying out the assault on demonstrators.
General Shamseddine Kabbashi, spokesman of the ruling military council, has said the findings of a probe into the deaths would be released on Saturday.
– RSF image 'distorted –
On Thursday, he acknowledged the dispersal of the sit-in, saying the initial plan was to "clean" an area called Colombia — an area near the sit-in that the generals have said was inhabited by criminals prior to the crackdown — but adding "we regret what happened".
On Saturday evening the spokesman of a military panel investigating the crackdown said its report was still not finalised, but he revealed some initial findings.

"The committee's findings so far show that officers and soldiers of different ranks from regular forces entered the sit-in without any orders from their superiors," Brigadier Abderrahim Badreddine, spokesman for the committee, told state television.
"They were not part of the troops who were ordered to clean Colombia," he said.
RSF commander General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo defended his force at a rally Saturday in a village on the outskirts of Khartoum.
"Our image as Rapid Support Forces has been distorted," said Dagalo, who is also the deputy chief of the ruling military council.
"But we will not talk about it (the June 3 crackdown) until the findings of the report come out," he said as a crowd of supporters cheered.
Doctors linked to the protest movement say about 120 people have been killed in Khartoum since the crackdown, while the health ministry says 61 people died nationwide on June 3.

INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER: Agent Pendergast faces his most unexpected challenge yet when bloodless bodies begin to appear in Savannah, GA.
The thrillers of Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child "stand head and shoulders above their rivals" (Publishers Weekly). Preston and Child's Relic and The Cabinet of Curiosities were chosen by readers in a National Public Radio poll as being among the one hundred greatest thrillers ever written, and Relic was made into a number‑one box office hit movie. They are coauthors of the famed Pendergast series, and their recent novels include The Scorpion's Tail, Crooked River, Old Bones, and Verses for the Dead. In addition to his novels, Preston writes about archaeology for The New Yorker and National Geographic magazines. Lincoln Child is a Florida resident and former book editor who has published seven novels of his own, including such bestsellers as Full Wolf Moon and Deep Storm.
Readers can sign up for The Pendergast File, a monthly "strangely entertaining" newsletter from the authors, at their website, PrestonChild.com. The authors welcome visitors to their Facebook page, where they post regularly.

Hemp Hand Protector in the Sale..
The Body Shop have a sale on at the moment, we don't have a branch in my tiny town but my grandma came home with a large tube of Hemp for my mum and said it was just £5.00 ! That is delightfully cheap, I really reccomended the Hemp range especially in winter, it's so thick and good at preventing dry skin. I have really sensitive skin and this product causes me no irritation at all, I tend to mix up the products I use but I do try to stick to using Hemp hand cream during the winter because I know it works very well. I am hoping to stock up on some Hemp cream next week if I get the chance to go to a bigger towm. I did pop into The Body Shop when I was in London yesterday but it was too busy to stay in there very long.
The lip balm in the Hemp range is also really good, so if you are looking to try out a new lip balm for winter and want something that is quite thick then do make sure you try it.
Have you found anything good in The Body Shop sale ?
Do you use the Hemp range, I would love to know what you think of it ! ?

In the 1980s, space philosopher Frank White was a passenger in an airplane flying across the US. As he gazed at the miniature landscapes below, he started imagining what it would be like to live between Earth and the Moon. If you did, you wouldn't see a planet divided by geopolitical borders, but rather a single, unified whole.
He interviewed astronauts, and his suspicions were confirmed when they described their shift in awareness after they saw Earth from space for the first time. They all described our planet as "fragile" and "beautiful" — and this experience altered how they viewed themselves within the universe. White coined this phenomenon the "overview effect."
Now San Francisco-based authors, artist Benjamin Grant and writer Timothy Dougherty, want to inspire people everywhere to experience the overview effect — without leaving Earth — by showing us a perspective that we rarely see. Ultimately, they hope to raise awareness about the damage we've done to the environment so we can take steps towards creating a better future.
"Understanding how our choices impact the planet is an essential step if we hope to change course," they write.
In their new book, titled Overview Timelapse: How We Change the Earth, they use satellite and aerial photos to show us how human activity is dramatically reshaping our world from a new vantage. "There is reason to be optimistic," they write. "The same scientists who predicted and continue to monitor global climate change have made it clear that it is not too late to adopt solutions that can both support our species and move us toward a more harmonious relationship."
Australian Bushfires, December 31 2019

At the time of this photograph, this massive bushfire accounted for just a portion of the 38,000 square miles (or 98,420 square kilometers) that were torched by bushfires that started in September 2019 in New South Wales, Australia. This coastal area of the country contains eucalyptus trees, which release volatile oils when burned and thereby create massive embers that can quickly jump to other areas of the forest.
Climate conditions have not helped matters: 2019 was the warmest year in Australian history, and that — combined with the lowest rainfall since 1900 — created the dry conditions for the blaze to start and spread. After 240 straight days of fire, torrential rains arrived in February 2020 and ended the fire season.
Colorado Tire Graveyard, March 2018 and August 2018

Tires are added to massive piles at the world's largest tire dump located in Hudson, Colorado. The facility contains dozens of roughly 150-foot-wide (or 45 meters) sections filled with approximately 60 million scrap tires. Worldwide, an estimated 1.5 billion tires are discarded each year. Of that amount, more than half are burned for their fuel.
Antarctic Sea Ice Melt, 2019
Source imagery: © Maxar Technologies – Westminster, Colorado
Sea ice breaks apart in various block sizes roughly 40 miles (or 64 kilometers) off the coast of Antarctica. Antarctic sea ice extends far north in the winter and retreats almost to the coastline every summer. The ice is frozen seawater that is usually less than 3 to 6 feet (or 0.9 to 1.8 meters) in thickness. Sea ice is significantly thinner than ice shelves, which are formed by glaciers, float in the sea and are up to 3,280 feet (or 1 kilometer) thick.
In the 1980s, Antarctica lost 40 billion tons (or 36.3 billion metric tons) of ice every year; in the last decade, that figure was estimated at a staggering 252 billion tons (229 billion metric tons) per year. When ice melts, it often exposes a darker area of soot and dirt beneath its surface and turns into darker liquid water once it is fully melted. Dark surfaces absorb more heat, and thus the accelerated melting of the world's ice could initiate a feedback loop that further speeds up the warming process that's causing the melting in the first place.
Miami Red Tide, May 2017 and June 2018
In 2018, tides of harmful algae blooms overtook the waters surrounding Miami, Florida, forcing the closure of at least six public beaches. The increased growth of dark algae discolors the typically clear waters, hence the "red tide" name. While it is difficult to pinpoint the exact cause of this phenomenon, red tides tend to follow intense storm seasons, and they may also be fueled by agricultural runoff bringing large amounts of unnatural fertilizers into the ocean.
This specific algae, Karenia brevis, produces toxic chemicals that can affect fish and beachgoers alike due to its neurotoxicity and irritative respiratory properties. Red tides can last anywhere from a few weeks to more than a year depending on ocean temperatures, sunlight, salinity, winds and currents.
Westmont Rooftop Solar Project, 2014 and 2017
The Westmont Distribution Center, with its rooftop solar project, is located in San Pedro, California. At the time of its installation in 2017, Westmont was the most powerful rooftop solar project in the US, with the exception of Apple's new headquarters.
The 2 million square feet (or 185,806 square meters) of panels have a bifacial design, meaning they can collect reflected light from the surface of the roof in addition to direct sunlight. This enables the panels to generate up to 45 percent more power than traditional rooftop solar panels and power 5,000 nearby homes.
Amazon Rainforest Deforestation, 1989 and 2019
The state of Rondônia in western Brazil has become one of the most deforested parts of the Amazon rainforest. Once home to 80,000 square miles (or 207,199 square kilometers) of forest, the past three decades have seen rapid clearing and degradation. By 2003, an estimated 26,000 square miles (or 67,340 square kilometers) of rainforest — an area that's larger than the state of West Virginia — had been cleared.
That devastation continued in the following decades and was greatly exacerbated by the Amazon fires of 2019. At one point during the year, 76,000 fires were burning simultaneously, with many ignited for purposeful deforestation, destroying roughly 7,200 square miles (18,648 square kilometers) of forest.
Russia Permafrost Melt, 2018
Vibrantly colored lichens and mosses can be seen here alongside frost-covered ground in Yakutia, Russia. The Yakutia region is one of the coldest inhabited places on Earth with an average January temperature of -41.3°F (or -40.7°C). However, annual temperatures here have risen more than four degrees, to 18.5°F (or -7.5°C) from 14°F (or -10°C), over several decades.
This warming has led to increased melting of the region's permafrost — a thick subsurface layer of soil that remains frozen throughout the year. As permafrost thaws across Yakutia and other arctic areas, stored methane is released into the atmosphere, which warms the planet 84 times more than carbon dioxide over a 20-year period.
In 2013 alone, melting of permafrost is believed to have released 18.7 million tons (17 million metric tons) of methane — a significant increase on the 4.2 million tons (3.8 million metric tons) estimated to be released in 2006.

I am happy to write a recommendation for the extraordinary John Evans. A veteran and largely a self-taught writer, John combines a passionate need to express himself and tell his story with a profound respect for literature, a fierce thirst for learning, and many natural literary gifts. He is the kind of student who makes me proud and excited to teach in a low-residency program in creative writing. John started his professional life overhauling jet engine components. He then enrolled at the University of Southern New Hampshire, studying for a BA in English with a concentration in Non-Fiction. I got to know John when he contacted me through my poetry teaching website last fall and commenced what would become an intensive poetry-writing tutorial over several months.
During the time I worked with John, I found him to be an eager student, ready to revise tirelessly and eager to absorb anything I had to teach him. He has read widely and is enthusiastic to read more. His writing style is raw and unabashed, with words flowing urgently over the page. When we started working together, his poetry manuscript, now titled Vehemence, was well over a hundred pages, representing 20 years worth of work. John demonstrated an unflagging energy for shaping and strengthening the manuscript. During one week while we were working on the villanelle form and I had gone out of town, he informed me that he had written no less than six villanelles. I was particularly impressed that he recognized the value of discarding large swathes of writing, a process that tends to threaten the egos of less mature and serious poets.
The decades of having gone his own way as a self-taught writer have endowed John's writing voice with a power and authenticity that is refreshing and compelling. A central theme in the manuscript we worked on together, Vehemence, is the sexual abuse he endured as a child and in the military. John has done the necessary emotional work to become ready to write openly about this important topic, and this is one the themes he intends to explore during his MFA program in creative writing.
Clearly, John does not have a traditional educational background. But I feel that he has many other strengths that will be far more important to his career in creative writing: the perspective and maturity to take in others' suggestions and grow from their feedback; the discipline, diligence, and initiative to work hard on his own; sincere passion to make his voice heard; genuine reverence for and curiosity about the power of literary tradition, which will help his writing to be part of something bigger than itself; and a natural poetic ear along with a sense for image and story.
Based on my experience working with John and my knowledge of low-residency programs, I believe that John has what it takes to succeed in the St. Francis MFA program and that, if he is accepted, he will make the program proud.

Q: Need help understanding Python Nested For Loop I'm having trouble understanding the 2nd for loop in the code below:
di = [4,5,6]
for i in range(len(di)):
    total = di[i]
    for j in range(i+1,len(di)):
        total += di[j]
        curr_di = total / ((j-i+1)**2)

I can't visualize what happens in for j in range(i+1,len(di)):, in particular the i+1 portion confuses me. how does the i in the first loop affect the 2nd loop, if any?

A: The first loop is simply looping over the indices available in list di. For each entry in that loop, the second loop then examines the remaining portions of di.
So, on the first iteration, we're examining the value 4. The second loop will then walk the list starting at that position, and running to the end (it will examine items 5 and 6).
On the second iteration, we'll examine entry 5, then walk the remainder of the list in the second loop (in this case 6). Make sense?
As a commenter pointed out, print statements are your friend. Here's an example with some print statements to show how i and j change:
di = [4,5,6,7]
for i in range(len(di)):
  print(f"i: {i}")
  total = di[i]
  for j in range(i+1, len(di)):
    print(f" - j: {j}")
    total += di[j]
    curr_di = total / ((j-i+1)**2)

Output:
i: 0
 - j: 1
 - j: 2
 - j: 3
i: 1
 - j: 2
 - j: 3
i: 2
 - j: 3
i: 3

A: This is a typical "combinations of 2" loop.  Each item in the list (index i) is processed with every subsequent item (index j).
It looks like sequence processing to compute a sum of partial sums:
total = ∑(i=1..n) ( ∑(j=i..n) a[j] )


Chrissy Teigen (pronounced tai-gen, not tee-gen) has gone from model to bonafide Twitter superstar and cookbook author extraordinaire since her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition debut in 2010.
Along the way, Chrissy has also shown off her comedic side as the host of Lip Sync Battle, launched a clothing line with Revolve, and authored two cookbooks — all while juggling her two kids, Luna and Miles. Plus, she will serve as a judge on the upcoming series Bring the Funny on NBC.
Chrissy is married to singer John Legend. The couple tied the knot in 2013 after more than five years of dating. Chrissy met John on the set of his music video for "Stereo." In 2017, Chrissy revealed John tried to break up with her shortly after they started dating, but she wouldn't let him.
"It wasn't a a typical breakup. He was on tour and his voice hurt and he was being a whiny face about everything and so yeah, I was like 'no,' Chrissy tweeted.
And John has no regrets. "She pushes me to be funnier," he said. "Not because she's trying to, I think it's just being around her. And to be bolder."
Chrissy and John are now the proud parents of kids Luna, who was born in 2016, and Miles (born 2018), but it was not an easy journey for the couple. Chrissy was very open about her fertility struggles and revealed the couple turned to IVF to help conceive.
"You hear stories about IVF working the first try. But you'll hear a lot more stories about when it takes a few times. Ours didn't work the first time, and it was devastating," she told The Cut. "You realize that a lot of it is luck, and you can't blame things on yourself... You realize there's no right way to do it, or right way to react."
Who are Chrissy Teigen's parents?
Chrissy is really close to her parents, Ron and Vilailuck Teigen, who call her by her nickname Pepper Thai. In fact, her mom actually lives with the couple to help out with the kids.
"It's so helpful to have her live with us. She's the most incredible grandma. Luna is so close with her," Chrissy explained. "'Yāy' means grandmother in Thai, so she goes "'Yāy!" all day long, and it's just fun because my mom is a kid at heart. She just has so much energy, and I just lug myself at this point."
Does Chrissy Teigen have siblings?
Chrissy is not an only child. She has a half-sister named Tina, who has also made a few cameos on her social media accounts. Like the one time she attempted to make rice while under the influence of marijuana, which prompted the one and only Cher to tweet Chrissy, "I wanna be friends with your sister."
Which Chrissy Teigen cookbook is better?
That's obviously a trick question. Chrissy is a proud foodie, and has published two cookbooks — Cravings and Cravings: Hungry for More — that are equally amazing. Plus, if you haven't tried her banana bread recipe, you are missing out.


Samples were taken from 15 oak timbers, representing various elements and potential phases within Purcombe Farmhouse. Three samples were unsuitable for analysis. The remaining 12 series were successfully cross-matched, producing a site chronology of 126 years dated as spanning the period AD 1379–1504. All 12 timbers, incorporating elements of the main frame, the roof, a floor joist, and partitions, appear to be coeval. Only one timber retained complete sapwood, this being a cross-beam associated with the stack, giving an actual felling date of winter AD 1504/05. The felling date ranges of the other dated samples suggest a similar likely felling date for the timbers represented.

Q: Woocommerce - Product price depending on country I have 2 questions regarding Woocommerce for Wordpress.
I'm working on a site that sells speakers to the Danish market.
Question one:
Can I detect the IP of a visitor and detect which country the person is from? I guess this can be done with some ClientLocation api.
Can I then disable all shopping relatet pages and buttons if a person is not from Denmark. Fx: hiding the add to cart, cart and checkout.
I still want the persons to be able to see the prices, they should just not have the option to buy them.
Question 2:
Lets say that question one was sucessfull made. Then I would like to show different prices for other contries than Denmark. So if you are visiting the site from one country, the price is XXX and from another country the price is XXXX.
Let's say:
In USA the price is = $500
And in UK the price = £400

(This has nothing to do with currency. The market price is just different in different countries.)
I've looked at this plugin: http://wordpress.org/plugins/woocomerce-price-by-country/
It allowed me to write different prices for each product, but when I testet it with http://geopeeker.com/ I hadn't worked at all.
Can you give me some pointets or some links to some plugins that you know of?
UPDATE
I managed to solve question 1. I store the visitors country in a cookie with IP location XML API And then I could just create an if statement, saying that if the country was not equal to Denmark, then the add to cart, cart etc. should be removed.
So yeah, I would really appreciate it if anyknow could give me an idea on how I can solve question 2.
I'm able to detect country, but not able to specify a price of each product to the given country.
2'nd update:
Just to let any interested readers know, I ended up buying this plugin. which is working perfectly!

A: For the 2nd part of your question: If you are only using simple product types (without variations) then you can add custom price fields to the product data page and filter the price using woocommerce_get_price_html.
add_filter('woocommerce_get_price_html','so24863612_custom_price');
function so24863612_custom_price(){
   global $post;
   $_postID = $post->ID;
   $product = get_product( $_postID );
   $UK_price = get_post_meta($_postID, '_UK_price', true); //loads custom meta data
   $return_price = $product->get_regular_price(); //default to regular price
   if (!empty($UK_price)) {
      $return_price = $UK_price;
   }
   return $return_price;
}

You can create and save custom fields on the product page like this:
//Display custom fields on product data page in admin
add_action( 'woocommerce_product_options_general_product_data', 'so24963039_display_custom_general_tab_fields' );
function so24963039_display_custom_general_tab_fields() {
    global $woocommerce, $post;
    $UK_price = get_post_meta( $post->ID, '_UK_price', true );

    woocommerce_wp_text_input(
        array(
        'id' => '_UK_price',
        'label' => __( 'UK Price (£)', 'woocommerce' ),
        'value' => $UK_price,
        'desc_tip' => 'false'
        )
    );
}

//Save custom fields to access via get_post_meta
add_action( 'woocommerce_process_product_meta', 'so24963039_save_custom_general_tab_fields' );
function so24963039_save_custom_general_tab_fields ($post_id) {

    $woocommerce_UK_price = $_POST['_UK_price'];
    if( !empty( $woocommerce_UK_price ) )
    update_post_meta( $post_id, '_UK_price', esc_attr( $woocommerce_UK_price ) );

}

-----------------For products with Variations----------------------------
WARNING: Variable products are much more complicated and I'm not nearly as confident in this answer as I am with the simple products part above, but here's my current understanding either way. I had some mini-cart display issues that I had to hack around when using this method (which I will explain at the end), but the totals are calculated correctly in both the mini-cart and the regular cart.
First we want to add new fields to each variant on the variation tab of existing products:
add_action( 'woocommerce_product_after_variable_attributes', 'so24963039_variable_fields', 10, 2 ); //Display Fields
function so24963039_variable_fields( $loop, $variation_data ) {

echo '
';
woocommerce_wp_text_input(
    array(
        'id' => '_variant_UK_price['.$loop.']',
        'label' => __( 'UK Price (£)', 'woocommerce' ),
        'desc_tip' => 'false',
        'value' => $variation_data['_variant_UK_price'][0]
    )
);
echo '
';
}

We also need to add them dynamically whenever the user adds new variants on the edit product page:
add_action( 'woocommerce_product_after_variable_attributes_js', 'so24963039_variable_fields_js' ); //JS to add fields for dynamically added new variations
function so24963039_variable_fields_js(){ //add fields to new variations that get added
echo '
';
woocommerce_wp_text_input(
    array(
        'id' => '_variant_UK_price[ + loop + ]',
        'label' => __( 'UK Price (£)', 'woocommerce' ),
        'desc_tip' => 'false',
        'value' => $variation_data['_variant_UK_price'][0]
    )
);
echo '
';
}

Then we save changes to the custom fields in the variation meta data:
add_action( 'woocommerce_process_product_meta_variable', 'so24963039_save_variable_fields', 10, 1 ); //Save variation fields
function so24963039_save_variable_fields( $post_id ) {
if (isset( $_POST['variable_sku'] ) ) {
    $variable_sku = $_POST['variable_sku'];
    $variable_post_id = $_POST['variable_post_id'];

    // Variant Tier 1 Price
    $_variant_UK_price = $_POST['_variant_UK_price'];
    for ( $i = 0; $i < sizeof( $variable_sku ); $i++) {
        $variation_id = (int) $variable_post_id[$i];
        if ( isset( $_variant_UK_price[$i] ) ) {
        update_post_meta( $variation_id, '_variant_UK_price', stripslashes($_variant_UK_price[$i] ) );
        }
    }
}
}

Now that we have our custom variation meta data, we can access it in the custom price module like so:
add_filter('woocommerce_get_price_html','so24863612_custom_price');
function so24863612_custom_price(){
   global $post;
   $_postID = $post->ID;
   $product = get_product( $_postID );
   $product_type = $product->product_type;

   $UK_price = get_post_meta($_postID, '_UK_price', true); //covers simple products
   if($product_type == 'variation'){ //override with variant prices
            $UK_price = get_post_meta($_postID, '_variant_$UK_price', true);
    }

   $return_price = $product->get_regular_price(); //default to regular price
   if (!empty($UK_price)) {
      $return_price = $UK_price;
   }
   return $return_price;
}

Now, I believe that part should have everything working except for the mini-cart display. For some reason it seems like I just couldn't figure out how to get access to the variation meta data to force it to display properly in the mini cart - like I found where the mini-cart display was being generated but I was having trouble getting the right context path to access the custom variable so I ended up having to do that in the template-tags.php and pass an array of custom values to an optional parameter in my custom price function. This feels very 'wrong' in terms of how we should do things, but it gets the job done. I'm very open to hearing the 'correct' solution to this part of the problem.
In template-tags.php:

<?php
                                            $product_title = $_product->get_title();
                                            echo '' . apply_filters('woocommerce_cart_widget_product_title', $product_title, $_product) . '';
                                            echo '
';
                                            //original line: echo woocommerce_price($_product->get_price());

                                            /*Custom Price Override Block*/
                                            $_productID = $_product->id;
                                            $product_type = $_product->product_type;
                                            if($product_type == 'variation') {
                                                $custom_field_data = $_product->product_custom_fields;

A: I see your update that you did manage to get the visitor's country and that you can use this to create the if statement to remove the cart. (which is freaking cool, by the way)
Doesn't that answer your question 2, about changing the prices for each visitor? All you have to do is make sure that both prices are stored somewhere, and then just have it echo the Denmark or the UK one.
Prices are specific - custom fields
You mentioned this is NOT currency conversion - so you need to store both values. Add a custom field to the product entry that you edit with that new price, and name it "denmarkprice" or something
I'm not 100% familiar enough with WooCommerce to say what custom field plugin might work, but you could use http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/ if you don't want to just create the custom field yourself and call the variable with the_meta() when you want to display it inside your if else statement.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama warned his supporters to guard against overconfidence on Thursday as he and underdog Republican rival John McCain opened a 19-day sprint to Election Day.
The two candidates hit the campaign trail — Obama in New York and New Hampshire and McCain in Pennsylvania — after their third and last presidential debate on Wednesday, a testy face-off that made an Ohio plumber famous.
So far, all the stars seemed to be lining up in Obama's favor. He leads in national opinion polls and in many of the battleground states where the November 4 race will be won or lost.
Traders betting on future events in the political prediction markets are overwhelmingly predicting an Obama victory, giving the Illinois Democrat a better than 80 percent chance of winning.
Ireland's biggest bookmaker, Paddy Power, was already declaring Obama the winner. The Dublin-based bookmaker said it would pay out early more than 1 million euros ($1.35 million) on bets that Obama will be the next U.S. president.
But Obama pointed out to deep-pocket contributors at a fundraising breakfast in Manhattan, and later to supporters in a driving rain in Londonderry, New Hampshire, that he was supposed to win New Hampshire last January in the Democratic primary but lost the state to Sen. Hillary Clinton.
"We are 19 days away from changing this country — 19 days. But for those who are getting a little cocky, I've got two words for you: New Hampshire. I learned right here that you can't let up or pay too much attention to the polls," he said.
The new star in U.S. politics — at least for a news cycle or two — is Joe Wurzelbacher, "Joe the plumber," who told Obama at a campaign stop that he wanted to buy a small plumbing business in Holland, Ohio.
Joe came up about two dozen times during the debate as each candidate argued that their prescriptions for America's economic ills would help the plumber best.
Wurzelbacher was all over morning television shows and was not saying who he would vote for, but he sounded like a McCain backer.
"McCain came across with some solid points, and I was real happy about that," he told the Toledo Blade newspaper.
McCain, speaking at a rally in Downingtown, Pennsylvania, quickly worked Wurzelbacher into his stump speech, arguing that small business operators like Joe the plumber would see their taxes go up under Obama.
"Senator Obama told Joe that he wanted to spread his wealth around. America didn't become the greatest nation on earth by spreading the wealth; we became the greatest nation by creating new wealth," McCain said.
"This is the choice that we face. Three weeks from now, you will choose a new president. Choose well. There is much at stake," he said.
Although McCain went after Obama aggressively in the final debate, it might not have done much to change the shape of the race in its final stages.
Karl Rove, the architect of President George W. Bush's two electoral victories and now a political pundit, wrote in The Wall Street Journal on Thursday that McCain has difficult but not impossible odds.
"If Mr. McCain succeeds, he will have engineered the most impressive and improbable political comeback since Harry Truman in 1948. But having to reach back more than a half-century for inspiration is not the place campaign managers want to be now," Rove wrote.
The two candidates will be on the same stage again on Thursday night when they give speeches at the Al Smith charity dinner, a political tradition in Manhattan named for the former New York governor and a regular stop for presidential candidates.

PM Gaston Browne calls for collaboration on regional air and maritime transportation
Prime Minister Browne, who joined the 43rd CARICOM Heads of Government Meeting at Suriname, asserted that it is essential to the issues of connectivity that both maritime and air transportation is adequately addressed.
Antigua and Barbuda: Prime Minister Gaston Browne urged the full collaboration and efforts of the regional countries to strengthen maritime and air transportation and called for the necessity of deepening the regional integration process.
"You can't sustain an integration movement if you can't move goods and people effectively, and that has been a major problem with the integration movement from its inception," he said, adding that he hopes the summit here would "come up with a new model for air transportation one in which we can sustain.
Prime Minister Browne stated that both the air and maritime transportation needs of the region could not be sustained by one member state.
Prime Minister Gaston Browne stressed upon the benefits of the transportation and added that the Caribbean countries could import food from Guyana, Suriname and even Brazil as that it would cost much lesser than the foods the countries are importing from North America.
"So in terms of keeping the price of food down it is important that we establishment maritime transportation, reliable and sustainable…," he said, adding that he believes the region needs "combo assets" that could both transport people and goods "and by so doing you will be able to move people and goods more effectively within the region and certainly to sustain our integration movement.
"I am pretty sure that the opportunities that would be created for Suriname and Guyana, in particular, would be enormous, "he said, given that these countries have a lot of land, and fresh water and are capable of producing much food for the region.
"We should not be relying on what is most exclusively imports from North America when we have countries within the integration movement that can supply us," Browne said, giving as an example, the importation of water melons to his country, which would be much cheaper even with a 100 per cent mark up for transportation etc.

"As they review the bizarre and unpredictable weather pattern of the past several years, a growing number of scientists are beginning to suspect that many seemingly contradictory meteorological fluctuations are actually part of a global climate upheaval. However widely the weather varies from place to place and time to time, when meteorologists take an average of temperatures around the globe they find that the atmosphere has been growing gradually cooler for the past three decades. The trend shows no indication of reversing. Climatological Cassandras are becoming increasingly apprehensive, for the weather aberrations they are studying may be the harbinger of another ice age.
Investors should be very careful in developing long-term strategies as things do change.

The Gentlemen – movie review
By Alex First 2 weeks ago
A brilliant, intricate script, outstanding direction and superb acting by an A-list cast are the hallmarks of The Gentlemen, one of the year's best films (I know it comes out on 1st January, 2020, but I reckon I am allowed one day's leeway). It takes concentration to follow the web of deception woven, but the effort is well and truly rewarded.
Mickey Pearson (Matthew McConaughey) is an American expat who has built a highly profitable marijuana empire in London. Married to a beautiful and canny woman, Rosalind (Michelle Dockery), he is a smart operator who has managed to hide his operations in plain sight. Now though, he is ready to sell his business to another large operator Matthew (Jeremy Strong).
But when the word gets out that Pearson is looking to cash out, it triggers plots, schemes, bribery and coercion. Among those making a play is a ruthless young Asian tyro, Dry Eye (Henry Golding). The fine detail plays out as low-life Fletcher (Hugh Grant) tries to blackmail Pearson's right-hand man, Ray (Charlie Hunnam).
I believe The Gentlemen is Ritchie's best film … in the tradition of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998). It has also brought out the finest traits in many of his actors. None is better than Hugh Grant, in his boldest (and, arguably, his most enjoyable) portrayal yet. It is the role of his lifetime. The same applies to Charlie Hunnam as the debonair Pearson sidekick, who has to contend with Fletcher's wheeling and dealing.
I also really appreciated Colin Farrell's eclectic characterisation of Coach, a mentor to young men from the wrong side of the tracks … with no shortage of street smarts himself. He suddenly – and unexpectedly – becomes beholden to Pearson and is out to pay his debt.
Matthew McConaughey brings a cool arrogance to his persona, matched by Michelle Dockery as his elegant, no nonsense wife. Fresh from nice guys roles, in a decided change of pace Henry Golding channels his dark side.
I was intrigued and heavily involved from go to whoa and would readily see The Gentlemen a second time very soon – it is that good. It is an example of slick filmmaking from a writer and director who understands what an audience demands of him.
Do not miss it. Rated MA.

Continuing with the exploration of colour using stitch, this stage involves doing 3 samples using French knots. The first sample is to use 2 primary colours and then add a third colour.
I started with yellow, added red to change the effect and then blue as the third primary, I also added in some purple against the yellow. I used a mixture of threads and, with the purple/yellow section, used strands of each colour in the needle at the same time which I think is a very effective way of blending 2 colours.
The second sample is blending pastel colours. These were mixed gradually across the shape so the edges of each colour were blurred and there are no defined edges.
The final sample is to use French knots to recreate an image in pastel colours. I chose to work on the detail of the frog eye from my earlier sketchbook work.
I was pleased with the resulting eye. I used lots of different colours to produce a subtle effect and I think this turned out well.

How does the Christianity fail to observe this Point?
The principal aim of the Creator God in creating the man is that to make him lead in the peaceful and righteous life. That is why the Creator God has bestowed him very easiest commandments to be followed by. The Creator God proclaims the same point "For this commandment which I command you today is not too mysterious for you, nor is far off" (Deu 30:11). According to this, the commandments what have been given by God are very easy to follow and close to the human nature. Importantly not only He gives the peacefulness in this world by following His commandments but the Creator God promises the supreme bliss in the eternal life as well. And the Creator God, having given the commandments to the man He expects nothing from him but what the expectation of God from the man can be read as follows.
What does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways and to love Him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and to keep the commandments of the Lord.." – Deu 10:12, 13.
Therefore we came to know by so far discussion the purpose of human life is nothing but the examination from God whether one follows His commandments or not in its perspective way.
Did Jesus come in this world to prove himself as God giving the new religion?
Was he sent to introduce God who is beyond to him giving the same religion left behind by his preceding prophets?
What peculiar is that we cannot find Jesus anywhere in the Bible to have proclaimed explicitly as I am God and worship me! What peculiar is that many of the preachers of these days strive hard to prove any how that Jesus is God showing such verses like "He who has seen me has seen the Father", "I and My Father are one", "before Abraham was, I am", "I am the way, the truth, and life", "God has given me the authority" etc., According to these specialties what the contention of the present day's preachers is that "Jesus is nothing but God" simply by "reading" the above specialties in the Bible. But the Apostle have "heard" directly the above verses while they were with Jesus! What noteworthy is that the Apostle having heard these statements spoken by Jesus aforementioned they never presumed Jesus to be God or incarnate of God or God himself.
If it is correct to make the interpretation as "Jesus is God" according to some verses like above then first and foremost Apostle would have made such interpretation just as the present day preachers. But why did not the Apostle of Jesus never have proclaimed as "Jesus was God" according to the above specialties basing on which the present day preachers proclaim Jesus is God? Instead of that why have proclaimed as "Jesus was Messiah sent by God?" Is the point that the present days Christianity fail to observe. My humble appeal to the discerning readers to get the answers for so many questions and misconceptions just go through this website.

Q: Writing a malloc'd C struct to a file, and reading from it #include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

struct stCrimeArchive {
   char id_student[10];
   int id_document;
   char judgement[30];
   int id_crime;
   char date[12];
   char id_police[12];
};

int main()
{
   struct stCrimeArchive *regi;
   FILE *filea;
   filea = fopen("crimearchives.dat", "r+b");
   if(!filea)
 filea = fopen("crimearchives.dat", "w+b");

   int i;
   char num[6];

   regi = (struct stCrimeArchive*)malloc (sizeof(struct stCrimeArchive));

   printf("ID DOCUMENT: ");
   fgets(num, 6, stdin);
   regi->id_document= atoi(num);

   printf("ID STUDENT: ");
   fgets(regi->id_student, 30, stdin);
   for(i = strlen(regi->id_student)-1; i && regi->id_student[i] < ' '; i--)
    regi->id_student[i] = 0;

   printf("CRIME CODE: ");
   fgets(num, 6, stdin);
   regi->id_crime = atoi(num);

   printf("DATE OF THE CRIME: ");
   fgets(regi->date, 30, stdin);
   for(i = strlen(regi->date)-1; i && regi->date[i] < ' '; i--)
    regi->date[i] = 0;

   printf("ID POLICE: ");
   fgets(regi->id_police, 30, stdin);
   for(i = strlen(regi->id_police)-1; i && regi->id_police[i] < ' '; i--)
    regi->id_police[i] = 0;

   printf("JUDGEMENT: ");
   fgets(regi->judgement, 30, stdin);
   for(i = strlen(regi->judgement)-1; i && regi->judgement[i] < ' '; i--)
    regi->judgement[i] = 0;

   fseek(filea, 0, SEEK_END);
   fwrite(&regi, sizeof(struct stCrimeArchive*), 1, filea);

   free(regi);
   fclose(filea);
}

The context is the following: I am making a variable length file, and on it i'm writing many crime archive with the struct shown above. To do it i need to do a malloc for the struct involved. The problem is when I write it to file, it doesn't write anything, and I don't know what mistake(s) I'm doing.
Also I want to read the crime archives from the same file, but I also don't know what I am doing wrong. Here's the code for what I am trying to do:
int main()
{
   struct stCrimeArchive *regi;
   regi = (struct stCrimeArchive*)malloc (sizeof(struct stCrimeArchive));
   FILE *filea;
   filea = fopen("crimearchives.dat", "r+b");
   if(!filea)
    filea = fopen("crimearchives.dat", "w+b");
   rewind(filea);
   while  (fread(&regi, sizeof(struct stCrimeArchive), 1, filea))
    printf("%2d %-11s %-11s %8d %-13s %-14s\n", regi->id_document, regi->id_police, regi->date, regi->id_crime, regi->id_student, regi->judgement);
   fclose(filea);
}

A: If I was you, I'd forget about using malloc at all, from your example. You don't need dynamic memory allocation for this.
struct CrimeArchive regi;
regi.id_student = 42;
/* do all your stuff here */

FILE* fp = fopen("crimearchives.dat", "wb");
if (fp != NULL) {
    if (fwrite(&regi, sizeof regi, 1, fp) != 1)
       { /* handle error */ }

    fclose(fp);
}

Same when you read from it:
struct CrimeArchive regi;

FILE* fp = fopen("crimearchives.dat", "rb");
if (fp != NULL) {
   if (fread(&regi, sizeof regi, 1, fp) != 1)
       { /* handle error */ }

   fclose(fp);
}

And remember, writing and reading structs to/from files like this is not guaranteed to be portable if the file is written to on a system and read from on another system.

A: You'll want to write the size of the struct and not the size of the pointer to the struct.
 fwrite(regi, sizeof(struct stCrimeArchive), 1, filea);

Or maybe this would be more clear:
 fwrite(regi, sizeof(*regi), 1, filea);

A: Your fwrite call is wrong:
fwrite(regi, sizeof(struct stCrimeArchive*), 1, filea);

It's right that you're passing a pointer to the memory to be written, it's wrong that the size is that of a pointer and not the size of the actual struct you're intending to write. Chances are you'll only be writing 4 or 8 bytes of the start of the struct to file.
Change sizeof(struct stCrimeArchive*) to sizeof(struct stCrimeArchive), the same size you pass to malloc.
However, your code still doesn't compile since there's no such type stCrimeArchive (should be CrimeArchive?) and another reason being that you you're trying to assign an int to char[] in the following line:
regi->id_student = atoi(num);

A: while  (fread(&regi, sizeof(struct CrimeArchive), 1, filea))

I think the fread should accept void* but not void ** here.

A: Sorry for answering this very late, but I want to let know how the problem was solved. One of the answers was right, the problem was to write the size of the struct.
For the writing process:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

struct stCrimeArchive {
   char id_student[10];
   int id_document;
   char judgement[30];
   int id_crime;
   char date[12];
   char id_police[12];
};

int main()
{
   struct stCrimeArchive *regi;
   FILE *filea;
   filea = fopen("crimearchives.dat", "r+b");
   if(!filea)
 filea = fopen("crimearchives.dat", "w+b");

   int i;
   char num[6];

   regi = (struct stCrimeArchive*)malloc (sizeof(struct stCrimeArchive));

   printf("ID DOCUMENT: ");
   fgets(num, 6, stdin);
   regi->id_document= atoi(num);

   printf("ID STUDENT: ");
   fgets(regi->id_student, 30, stdin);
   for(i = strlen(regi->id_student)-1; i && regi->id_student[i] < ' '; i--)
    regi->id_student[i] = 0;

   printf("CRIME CODE: ");
   fgets(num, 6, stdin);
   regi->id_crime = atoi(num);

   printf("DATE OF THE CRIME: ");
   fgets(regi->date, 30, stdin);
   for(i = strlen(regi->date)-1; i && regi->date[i] < ' '; i--)
    regi->date[i] = 0;

   printf("ID POLICE: ");
   fgets(regi->id_police, 30, stdin);
   for(i = strlen(regi->id_police)-1; i && regi->id_police[i] < ' '; i--)
    regi->id_police[i] = 0;

   printf("JUDGEMENT: ");
   fgets(regi->judgement, 30, stdin);
   for(i = strlen(regi->judgement)-1; i && regi->judgement[i] < ' '; i--)
    regi->judgement[i] = 0;

   fseek(filea, 0, SEEK_END);
   fwrite(regi, sizeof *regi, 1, filea);

   free(regi);
   fclose(filea);
}

And then, for the reading process:
int main()
{
   struct stCrimeArchive *regi;
   regi = (struct stCrimeArchive*)malloc (sizeof(struct stCrimeArchive));
   FILE *filea;
   filea = fopen("crimearchives.dat", "r+b");
   if(!filea)
    filea = fopen("crimearchives.dat", "w+b");
   rewind(filea);
   while  (fread(regi, sizeof *regi, 1, filea))
    printf("%2d %-11s %-11s %8d %-13s %-14s\n", regi->id_document, regi->id_police, regi->date, regi->id_crime, regi->id_student, regi->judgement);
   fclose(filea);
}

I have nothing more to say but thanks =)
