The estimated global population of lions

Open plains, semi-closed habitat & woodlands
10 – 15 years in the wild
About African Lions
During the last century, Africa's large carnivores have undergone massive declines, largely due to human activity. Lions are no exception – compared with their historic range, lions (Panthera leo) have lost 75%. In 1980 there may have been as many as 75,000 lions, while today it is likely that there are only between 20,000 and 30,000 free roaming lions. East Africa is home to around 60% of Africa's lions, but some studies suggest that this population may decline by as much as 50% over the next two decades. Historically, European colonists contributed to these declines, while nowadays, growing human populations out-compete carnivores for space and resources. By the end of the 21st century, Africa's human population may increase threefold, to around 5.7 billion, which will cause further declines unless effective conservation programmes are implemented.

It's a time to ask, "where have we over-accommodated for others?" Our relationships are a mirror of what's in and out of balance within ourselves.
Susan explains that this Venus Retrograde provides an opportunity to grieve and cleanse our relationship with intimacy, money, worth, body image and goals. She says, "we need to find ourselves again." Tune in to hear about this month's opportunities to connect with our divine feminine essence and engage in a fearless inquiry about power and the passion in our hearts.

Kind of surprised that Act of Valor got a Canadian release.
I can definitely understand why you'd be surprised. It's interesting though, we've been bombarded with TV ads for it here in the last two weeks, and there was a sneak preview screening held at this theatre a little while ago, which apparently sold out the largest auditorium. I was on my way into another movie when it got out, and I overheard lots of people saying they loved it. I guess Canadians love a little American patriotism as much as anyone!

Donald Trump gave the military one order that Iran never saw coming
Iran has been waging war against the United States for over 40 years.
But now that Donald Trump is President, the Iranians are realizing they made a giant mistake.
And that's because Donald Trump gave the military one order that Iran never saw coming.
Late on Thursday night, the Trump administration announced the U.S. military carried out an air strike that killed Iranian General Qassem Soleimani.
Soleimani was head of the Iranian's elite Quds Force and was responsible for ordering the terrorists to storm the U.S. embassy in Baghdad as well as the deaths of over 600 American soldiers in Iraq.
Business Insider reports:
The Department of Defense on Thursday evening said that the US military, acting on the orders of President Donald Trump, killed Iranian Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani.
The news came amid a swirl of reports that the powerful Iranian commander had been killed in an airstrike.
"The US military has taken decisive defensive action to protect US personnel abroad by killing Qasem Soleimani, the head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps-Quds Force," the Pentagon said in a statement, using a different spelling of his name.
The Pentagon said Soleimani was planning attacks on US diplomats and service members in Iraq and elsewhere, adding that the hawkish commander and his forces were responsible for "the deaths of hundreds of American and coalition service members and the wounding of thousands more."
Unlike Barack Obama, Trump is defending America's embassies from terrorist attacks.
There was no repeat of Benghazi.
When Islamic terrorists stormed a U.S. embassy, President Trump responded by sending in 100 marines and ordering a strike that killed a General who was one of Iran's most high profile war fighters.
Soleimani's death cannot be understated.
He fought with the Iranian government since the revolution in 1979 and was a leading figure on the front lines of Iran's 41 year proxy war with the United States.
And thanks to Donald Trump this murderous terrorist has been brought to justice.

Former Axminster soldier completes Arctic challenge
PUBLISHED: 08:01 06 May 2019 | UPDATED: 09:17 09 May 2019
Steve and his team travel 2,200 miles in the snow and ice in less than three days
A former soldier from Axminster has successfully completed an expedition to the most northern point in Europe - in less than three days.
Steve Mackenney, 49, led a 12-strong team of volunteers driving six four 4x4 vehicles, to the Arctic Circle - travelling to Nordkapp island, at the very top of Norway.
Their challenge was to complete the 2,200 mile journey through snow and ice in just 75 hours.
In the end the team, mostly from Devon, did it in an incredible 69 hours and 23 minutes, raising £3,257 for the Armed Forces charity Combat Stress - the UK's leading mental health organisation aiding former service personnel.
Mr Mackenney said: "We set off from Axminster for an amazing adventure to drive to more than 400 miles inside the Artic circle.
"The first signs of snow appeared in Sweden but the big event going north was hitting the Artic circle. We kept driving into the night - finally we crossed and I welcomed everyone to the Arctic.
"We could feel our goal was in reach, 400 miles left and the thought of a proper sleep in the pre booked hotel was enough to keep everyone in the game."
"The higher we got the colder it went. The temperature was well below freezing and on the cape it went down to minus 16 .
"The first sign of our imminent success was the tunnel to Nordkap island which dropped 1km under the Barents Sea and climbed slowly out the other side to reveal the beautiful island covered in snow. We'd done it all that was left was to find the hotel to be able to stop the clock."
Combat Stress is a cause close to Mr Mackenney's heart as, having served in the Royal Logistic Corps, he has a number of friends who are suffering with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Added Mr Mackenney: "Every penny donated will go direct to Combat Stress as each driving pair is self funding their travel expenses."
Mr Mackenney, whose current work involves teaching people survival techniques, said the journey took two years to plan.
"Everybody worked really hard to prepare for the expedition, bringing their own skills to the group as well as raising money," he said.
Mr Mackenney is already planning his next trip for 2020 which will be to North Africa and the Sahara Desert.

a hidden gem in Johnstone, Renfrewshire
This weird and lonely tower is tucked away, hidden from sight at the edge of my hometown Johnstone in Renfrewshire.
My friend Stewart and I, armed with a few cameras, decided to brass neck it and stoat up someone's driveway and across someone's field to have a wee look inside.
If you don't know about doocots (dookits), and I didn't until Stewart suggested we have a look, then they are homes for pigeons and traditionally once they had nested and settled they would be taken and eaten or sold for their meat and eggs.

Bears Rip Card in Pac-10 Finale
Podcast »
Stanford Recap and Pac-10 Tournament PreviewMen's basketball beat writers Ed Yevelev and Gabriel Baumgaertner break down Cal's win over Stanford and look ahead to this week's Pac-10 Tournament.
Monday, March 7, 2011
Category: Sports > Winter > Basketball (Men's)
When asked about how he felt after his team's dominating performance to end the regular season, Cal's lone senior cracked a smile and briefly pondered the question.
"I'm just trying to enjoy life," Markhuri Sanders-Frison said.
After yet another great performance in what may have been his final game at Haas Pavilion, the Cal men's basketball team's big friendly giant will probably remember this moment long after his collegiate career concludes.
Anchored by suffocating man defense and a splendid second half from freshman Allen Crabbe, the Bears thoroughly dominated both ends of the floor on Saturday night en route to a 74-55 annihilation of Stanford at Haas Pavilion. Cal (17-13, 10-8 in the Pac-10) finished the regular season tied for fourth in conference play and will face USC in the first round of the Pac-10 Tournament on Thursday.
"I think finishing with 17 (wins) and 10 (in the conference) is fabulous," Bears coach Mike Montgomery said. "I know that with this group I am very pleased with what they were able to get done this far in the year."
Everybody who took the floor for the Bears seemed to stand out, but Saturday belonged to Sanders-Frison. Nicknamed "The Beast," the center turned in a ferocious physical performance, scoring 13 points, grabbing 13 rebounds and helping limit Stanford's starting frontcourt to eight combined points.
Forward Harper Kamp, who finished with 20 points, admitted that the Bears were "pretty sour" about the 14-point loss they suffered across the Bay in January. From the opening tip, it was apparent that Cal was out to prove that it was a different squad than the one that was trounced by the same Stanford team.
By applying constant pressure both on the perimeter and in the paint, the Bears manhandled the Cardinal (15-15, 7-11) to start the game. Stanford scored only four points in the opening 11:01.
A "man" team that has been forced to play a lot of zone this season, Cal was clearly excited to man up against an athletically formidable Cardinal lineup.
"We wanted to get out and jump on them like we did against UCLA," Sanders-Frison said. "That was a great game plan by the coaching staff."
Stanford's leading scorer Jeremy Green was held effectively in check in the opening minutes of the game when Cal built its lead. Though he still had 14 first half points, the junior guard only seemed to score on free throws and notably impressive individual efforts.
Freshman Dwight Powell, who torched the Bears for 20 points in January, was a non-factor, scoring only four points and struggling with the physical play of Kamp and Sanders-Frison.
"What happens is you wear people down a little bit," Montgomery said of his team's defense. "(The other team) loses their confidence and ability to go to a certain guy ... I thought our guys were pretty persistent on defense."
While the season is far from over, Montgomery lauded the team's veteran leaders - notably Sanders-Frison - on the final home game of the regular season.
"They have been spectacular," Montgomery said. "We talked with Jorge (Gutierrez), Harper and Markhuri and told them that they needed to take over this thing and they really, really did."
As for the big man? It was an emotional day, but he's not done yet.
"I'm going to play another game somewhere else," Sanders-Frison said. "The NCAA Tournament. That's where I want to play."

As digital media publishers freak out about upcoming Facebook news feed changes—which will de-emphasize video and other content promoted by brands and publishers—other companies may have reason to embrace the changes with open arms.
A new report from Pivotal analyst Brian Wieser looks at Adobe's outlook. It mentions that Facebook's announced algorithm tweaks "have reinforced the notion that web publishers (and brands) must increasingly control or otherwise improve their direct relationships with consumers." Thus, companies like Adobe and Salesforce that provide marketing technology services will benefit from this change. "This means increased investment in web experience, mobile app development, email marketing platforms and data management strategies," writes Wieser.
Indeed, we're already beginning to see this happen. Social-friendly news publisher NowThis recently re-launched its website after relying solely on social platforms to share its content. Since it can no longer depend on Facebook, the move makes sense—and we'll probably be seeing more moves like this in the coming months.

Diamond Jubilee Stakes Preview – Saturday 22nd June
Last updated: June 20, 2019 by Leon Marshal
The most valuable race on the final day of Royal Ascot on Saturday is the £600,000 Group 1 Diamond Jubilee Stakes at 4.20. The race was formerly known as the Cork and Orrery Stakes and was given Group 1 status in 2002. It is one of the most prestigious sprint races in Europe and notable past winners include Danehill (1989), Choisir (2003) and Black Caviar (2012).
Invincible Army favourite for Diamond Jubilee
The ante-post favourite is Invincible Army, the winner of the Group 2 Duke Of York Stakes last time out. James Tate's four-year-old was well beaten at the corresponding meeting 12 months' ago when only ninth in the Commonwealth Cup. He was beaten on his only previous race on soft ground back in 2017 but conditions are expected to improve by the weekend.
Charlie Appleby has declared Blue Point, the winner of the King's Stand Stakes on Tuesday. It is a bold move to tackle a second major sprint prize within the space of a week but he does top the official ratings. Le Brivido finished fifth in the Queen Anne Stakes over a mile on Tuesday. He will surely find this trip on the sharp side.
City Light finished second in this race last year, beaten a short-head by Merchant Navy. He has been beaten in all four subsequent starts but this race has been his target all year. He ran well behind Inns Of Court at Maisons-Laffitte in April and will have the assistance of Christophe Soumillon in the saddle.
American trainer Wesley Ward has not had his usual impact in the juvenile races at Royal Ascot this week. The rain softened ground certainly won't have helped his speed horses and he relies on Bound For Nowhere here. He finished less than a length away in third last year and has had a similar preparation.
The Tin Man aims for repeat victory
The Tin Man won this race in 2017 and James Fanshawe's seven-year-old will be sharper for his seasonal reappearance at Windsor last month. He was beaten two lengths by Dream Of Dreams after a 212-day absence. The cut in the ground won't worry him having won the Grade 1 Haydock Sprint Cup in testing conditions in September.
Dream Of Dreams was winning back-to-back races for the first time in his career at Windsor. He had previously won a conditions race on the all-weather at Chelmsford. He has won in the soft ground and was beaten a neck here in similar conditions in October.
Sands Of Mail sprang a 28-1 surprise in the Group 1 British Champions Sprint in soft ground last season. He also ran well at the Royal meeting when second to Eqtidaar in the Commonwealth Cup. A recent third behind Brando at Hamilton was slightly disappointing but this has always been his summer target.
Frankie Dettori rides Emblazoned for John Gosden, a close second to Shabaaby at Haydock last month. That was his first run since finishing third in the Commonwealth Cup so he has presumably had his training problems.
Any further rain would be a bonus for Donjuan Triumphant who seems to be a much better horse when the mud is flying. If conditions turned heavy, he could sneak into the frame at a very big price. Lim's Cruiser is trained in Singapore by Stephen Gray and this looks much more competitive than anything he has faced previously.

Hello Good Lunchers!
By now, you're probably aware that Burmese food is a big thing here. Back in '92, the scene was introduced to the traditional flavors of Myanmar when the locally beloved Burma Superstar opened its first spot here in the city. Ever since, they've taken the Bay by storm expanding to Oakland and Alameda and, more recently, to the Mission. While Burmese cuisine has roots here that go back to the sixties brought over by large groups of refugees who emigrated here, Burma Love is a direct relative of Burma Superstar, and continues to build our wide South Asian palette. In their own words, Burma Love picks up where Burma Superstar has left off, expanding and deepening the Myanmar cuisine experience "by introducing classic dishes that are shared at family feasts," and are "more spicy and a bit more concentrated in flavor" with a deeper emphasis on seafood.
Considered a harmonious blend of Chinese, Indian and Thai cuisines, Burmese
food is generally a melange of more mild curries, thick hearty soups, and super dynamic, innovative salads. In general, it is less sweet than Thai, and tends towards the more sour and savory. It's also usually more pungent, veering into the realm of Chinese with its use of fish sauce and different pastes, de-emphasizing the spicy flare you get in Indian. And Burma Love, like Burma Superstar, does their country proud.
If you're late to the table on this one, no better time to try these delicious flavors than today over lunch with your team, all around a table dishing it up together family style, sampling all the complexities and unique specialties that have knitted Burmese family culture together for centuries. Start with the Tea Leaf and Rainbow salads (they're incredible!), and then mix it up with a bunch of different curries and vegetable dishes. Seriously, the menu is incredibly deep, varied, and we just can't say enough about this kind of comfort food.
We're psyched to have Burma Love in our corner, and hope you'll dive into their amazing food whenever you wish. Just login to your account, call or text us. We'll set you up! As always you can call or email us and let us know what you need.
Happy Lunching!
Good Lunch

This is the fifth and final book in Blyton's 'Secret' series, and the only one of the series I have read. It was originally published in 1953 but the edition I have is the 1966 Armada paperback. Illustrations are by Dorothy Hall and are not particularly inspiring (and the print quality of both text and drawings is not great in this edition). The cover illustration (pictured) is by Mary Gernat and is quite pleasing.
The children are in the familiar Blyton format: twins (of course, though nothing is subsequently made of that) Nora and Mike Arnold and their sister Peggy who is one year older, plus Jack who has been adopted (another recurring pattern) by Captain and Mrs Arnold. More unusually, the party is completed by Paul, the Prince of Baronia, who is at school with Mike and Jack. Paul's age is not clear, but Jack would seem to be older than both boys as he, unlike them, considers himself too old to wear shorts trousers. Overall, it seems that the children are aged between about eleven and thirteen and we are told that they have already had plenty of adventures together.
The hols begin, as Blyton adventures often do, with the girls awaiting the boys' arrival and bemoaning the fact that their school breaks up earlier. Once reunited, Mrs Arnold gives them the exciting news that Paul's mother, the Queen of Baronia, wants the family to find a castle in which her Royal Household and the Arnolds may spend a month or two's holiday. After perusing details of a surprisingly large number of castles available for immediate rental they think that the remote Moon Castle might be just the place, so they decide to view it. Driven by Ranni, Paul's manservant-cum-bodyguard, in his huge blue and silver car that simply 'eats up the miles', they arrive at Bolingblow, the nearest town to the castle albeit some twenty miles distant. Other than it being in England, there is no information on where we are, but the later reference to tin mines suggests it might be Cornwall. Luckily there is time for a splendid lunch at a hotel in Bolingblow, but the first hint that things might not go smoothly comes when the waitress tells of strange goings on at Moon Castle.
And, indeed, when they arrive things do seem rather strange. Three sisters are acting as caretakers and seem reluctant to see the castle tenanted. Guy Brimming, the son of one them, would not like it they explain, and when Guy appears on the scene he is certainly very hostile and threatening. Too bad, though, it is not his castle and after a tense standoff Ranni sends him packing. It's agreed by Mrs Arnold that Paul's mother will rent the castle, which is to be prepared for them by the caretakers, and Guy must take himself off. Oh, and the tower, which is mysteriously locked and the key supposedly lost, must be opened up. We already have a good idea that this is where Guy is up to whatever he is up to – scientific work according to his doting mother, loafing around according to the Arnolds, no good at all we readers suspect.
But now, in classic Blyton style, Things Go Wrong. Paul's brothers have come down with measles and are in quarantine, so his family will be delayed. Nevertheless the Arnolds are to commence the rental of Moon Castle. Unfortunately Captain Arnold must test fly a secret new plane (presciently, for a book published in 1953, it seems to be a Vertical Take Off and Landing aircraft) and wants Mrs Arnold to go with him. So the children will go to the castle, but they won't be alone since Ranni and Miss Dimity (Dimmy), a friend who helps Mrs Arnold with the children, will accompany them. So it's back in the blue and silver car to Moon Castle, stopping only for lunch at Bolingblow and more dire warnings from the waitress.
This time, the reception from the caretakers is, if not welcoming, then at least acceptant and they assure Dimmy that Guy has left as instructed. On the other hand, the tower is still locked and it begins to look as if the hotel waitress was right, because queer things start to happen. First, it is repeated "TWANG! DONG!" noises, apparently from ancient musical instruments in one of the rooms. Still, perhaps it is just some sort of expansion and contraction process caused by the temperature. But that's not the only thing. That night, Jack and Mike observe that there is a light in the supposedly empty and inaccessible tower. Could it be Guy? The boys think so, and so do we. So next day the children question Guy's mother about the key to the tower, but she is very evasive. Unbeknown to her, Jack remains at the castle whilst the others go to Bolingblow and overhears Guy berating her for allowing the castle to be let and telling her that the tower must remain locked for some days more until something (what though?) is finished.
The tower is one source of curiosity, but there has also been mention on a nearby ruined village that the children are keen to explore. Not a good idea, according to the caretakers, since there are deserted tin mines which are dangerous. On the other hand, it might be sensible to get out of the castle where things are getting stranger, with the eyes of portraits glowing angrily and strange hissing noises being heard, and ornaments smashing for no apparent reason. Dimmy's room is mysteriously re-arranged and a picture crashes off the wall. A warning, according to Guy's aunt, that the visitors should leave Moon Castle. But they are made of sterner stuff and the children head off the ruined village.
The village is just as exciting as we would hope, with broken down houses and rusting machinery all around. And then there are the tin mines to explore. Oddly enough, the ladder down a mineshaft is in very good order. It's almost as if it's still being used …! Once they have descended, the boys (Jack forbids the girls to come) find a maze of tunnels. Luckily they have brought torches and can have a good poke around, and as they do so they find a peculiar green fire, and glimpse a figure in overalls and a hood who pours something on the fire, which turns purple (this provides one of the few really good illustrations in the book). Then other hooded figures sweep up some strange material, glowing with a colour the boys had never seen before (rather like the unnameable colour produced by the machines in The Mountain of Adventure perhaps). But it's time to go home now, which may be just as well because the three boys are now suffering from pins and needles and, what's more, their watches have stopped.
Back at the castle, the boys' pins and needles become unbearable, and Guy's mother surmises that they have been in the mines. Apparently, this was the affliction that had led to the village being abandoned and fortunately she has a lotion which will relieve it. Strange things are still happening at Moon castle, too. All the children's rooms have been re-arranged whilst in the library books are jumping off the shelves all by themselves. One of them is a history of the castle and its lands, and on inspection it includes some old maps. These show what seems to be a secret passage running from Paul's bedroom into the tower – the tower that remains so stubbornly locked.
That night the boys do not sleep well because of their pins and needles, and Paul is disturbed by a dark figure in his room, who he takes to be Ranni checking on him. Meanwhile, from their room, Jack and Mike see a shimmering glow above the ruined village, of the same mysterious colour as that which they had observed in the mine. We've already got there, but the next morning the children now declare, in classic Blyton fashion, that they are in the middle of an adventure. It's a rainy day, so ignoring various further queer events the children start the search for the secret passage with no success and when the weather brightens Dimmy insists they go for a swim so the search has to be deferred until night time.
Night comes and after further searching Jack finds a knob in the panelling in Paul's room (and by this time they have realised that his night time visitor had not been Ranni but a baddie, possibly Guy) which opens a secret door. The girls and Paul are now asleep so Mike and Jack explore by themselves. The door leads to a passage and, eventually, they emerge in the fireplace of one of the rooms in the tower. They leave the room and ascend the main stairway where they come to another room. Inside, angry voices are arguing in, of course, a foreign language. The door is ajar and they can see several men, half of whom are wearing the protective suits and hoods of the figures in the old tin mine. Others are wearing ordinary clothes and one of them is Guy. It seems the men are angry with Guy because he has told them that they have to leave before their work is finished – helpfully, they say this in English before reverting to various foreign languages. Guy says that it is just a matter of leaving temporarily whilst the castle is tenanted. But some of the men think that is just an excuse for him to go behind their backs and sell the results of their work. This work, it now emerges, is to produce a strange, valuable new metal called 'Stellastepheny', which is produced by the mysterious fire which is also the cause of the pins and needles illness (it is clear that the overalls and hoods are to protect the men from being affected by this, and Jack surmises that they are made of "some sort of mica"). Guy explains that he had hoped the visitors could be frightened away, but since this hadn't been successful there is no choice but to suspend operations, and this is agreed.
Now the boys witness an extraordinary event, where the hooded men transfer what we take to be 'Stellastepheny' into a glass cylinder, blotting out the whole room in a shimmering radiance in (yes, that's right) an unnameable colour. Guy exits the room, carrying the precious metal, and the boys follow him. He enters another room, and in a flash of inspiration Jack locks him in. There is some exciting chasing about as the rest of the men depart the tower and disappear into a secret trap door in the stone floor of the room at the base of the tower. The boys place a heavy chest over it, trapping the men and then, rather surprisingly one might have thought, simply go back to bed and have a good night's sleep.
Even more surprising, the next morning breakfast is forgotten as Jack and Mike tell, first, the other children and, then, Dimmy and Ranni about the night's events. Dimmy summons the caretakers. Guy's mother is contrite and tearful, but one of the aunts is defiant, declaiming that Guy is a genius scientist and that, anyway, the owner of the castle has no interest in the mines. She admits that it was she who caused all the queer happenings, using devices invented by Guy. In the past, these had been enough to deter visitors. Ranni is dispatched to get the police who arrest Guy and then the men, who immediately betray Guy, believing that he has betrayed them. It is decided that the caretakers' fate will be decided by the castle's owner. Breakfast has been missed but no need to worry – they all depart to Bolingblow for lunch at the hotel. The adventure is over but as Jack says "it was GRAND FUN whilst it lasted"!
Overall, this is an excellent Blyton adventure which stands comparison with the best of her stories. It has many of the familiar elements, including a peculiar family set up and a relative absence of adults, but, unusually, there are no animals, birds or insects. Characterisation of the children is weak compared with the Five or the Adventures – we really have no idea at all of their personalities or interests – as is the sense of place. On the other hand, plotting is strong, and the story is genuinely atmospheric in terms of the castle, secret passages and mines. There is a sci-fi element, a little like The Mountain of Adventure, which contributes to quite a dramatic feel, and moments of real tension such as the initial encounter with Guy (who, although rarely present, is a good villain), the scenes in the old mines and the final chase. I like the contrast, evident in many Blyton stories, between the ordinary world of hotel dining rooms and waitresses and, just adjacent, an extraordinary world of adventure. I think this was part of what appealed to me as a child, and I can still feel it when re-reading this book some forty years after I first did so.

It is possible to overflow cpufreq_info::name and cpufreq_info::sysfs_filename inside add_object function. It require to somehow(ex. inside chroot) create custom directory inside `/sys/devices/system/cpu/` named like cpu0<custom_data_here>` and it will pass:
if (sscanf(dp->d_name, "cpu%d\n", &cpu_index) != 1)
inside hud_get_num_cpufreq function.
cpufreq_info::sysfs_filename is a buffer of char[128] and the string fn is
of the same size and it is written to by using snprintf, indicating its size, so unless I miss something the buffer overflow is only possible for cpufreq_info::name.
It is possible in both, you can create directory named "cpu0<very_long_string>" and it will be accepted by that sscanf.
The easiest fix for it is by using strcpy_s instead of strcpy.
The sscanf will accept the number and not check the rest of the string, yes, but later in the code you have
char basename[256];
snprintf(basename, sizeof(basename),
"/sys/devices/system/cpu/%s", dp->d_name);
so basename is limited to 256 chars including the terminator 0, and then
snprintf(fn, sizeof(fn), "%s/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq", basename);
with sizeof(fn)== 128, which means fn is not longer then 128 byte, just like it is defined in cpufreq_info::sysfs_filename, hence no buffer overflow there. Then
if (stat(fn, &stat_buf) < 0)
must pass, which means whatever string was created before, it must still point to a valid file name that at this point is
and this limits the size of ?? == dp->d_name to less than 80 characters (This, by the way, also means one has to create this special file, it is not sufficient to add an arbitrary string to /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuN). So yes, one can get a buffer overflow in cpufreq_info::name but it can not overwrite anything important, because given the memory layout of cpufreq_info it may temporarily overwrite cpufreq_info::cpu_index and a part of cpufreq_info::sysfs_filename, but these are set later in add_object anyway, and because of cpufreq_info::sysfs_filename being a null terminated string, cpufreq_info::name would also always be null-termianted, limiting the impact of its later use.
IMHO the better fix is snprintf, because it creates a null terminated string and doesn't do any post-hoc error handling. Unless someone beats me to it I'll send a patch tomorrow.

President of the United States. It was the first clip a Republican was elected since
Herbert Hoover in 1928. The Eisenhower disposal started at a instead awkward
clip, both politically and economically. First of all there was a war on. The Korean War
had begun in June of 1950 and was still engaging. As was usual for wartime the state
was economically comfortable. However, the war had caused President Truman to
abandon his former restraints on authorities disbursement. The sum of money being
spent on defence skyrocketed to provide the military personnels in Korea with the supplies they needed.
This caused the federal shortage to increase dramatically ( Pach and Richardson, 53 ) .
Another bequest leftover from the Truman yearss was that of the Fair Deal domestic
plan. Although Truman found much resistance to his plans in Congress he
managed to acquire several things done. Such as a public lodging measure, an enlargement of societal
security coverage, and increased minimal rewards. The Republican party was non in favour
of the bulk of this statute law. Therefore when Eisenhower was elected they instantly
made programs for cutbacks in the disbursement on these plans. Unfortunately for them the
freshly elected president was non opposed to the plans Truman had began and
improved upon. Over the class of his disposal Eisenhower frequently did non keep the
same sentiments as some of the members of his party.
As the Chief Economic adviser to the President of the United States there are
many different issues which I must see. These issues are both big and little,
foreign and domestic, and impact the upper, in-between, and lower categories. At this point in
clip there are several of import concerns which I have. The Korean War is stoping and
this is traveling to hold a profound affect on the economic system of the United States. During the
war the state was comfortable but subsequently there is ever a high hazard of increased
rising prices and an addition in unemployment. These conditions have the ability to do a
recession. Now that an cease-fire has been reached in Korea, a recession is get downing to
occur ( Pach and Richardson, 54 ) .
I believe that the President s head concern should non be to do an immediate
and fast acting Restoration of the general economic system. The jobs of the federal shortage
and the recession must wait until the more of import jobs are dealt with. The
job at manus is the lifting rate of unemployment. This job must be dealt with
instantly with strong actions. I suggest implementing federal public works undertakings
as a manner of making occupations without burthening the authorities with extra disbursals.
Ideas for these public works undertakings are: the building of a Saint Lawrence Seaway,
and an Interstate Highway System. This system would be a monolithic project and
would be one of the largest building undertakings of all clip but it would make many occupations
for Americans who are no longer employed by the war attempt ( Branyan and Larsen, 251 ) .
The Republican party has non been happy with the states economic policies for
rather some clip. These are the policies of the Democrats, and more specifically those of
the New Deal and the Fair Deal. These societal plans, such as societal security and
public assistance have been a drain on the federal budget for rather some clip. Republicans feel
that the clip has come to get down cutting back the sum of money being spent on such
plans or at least restrict the annual additions. However, there are times when a
political leader must do their ain determinations and non establish the manner they run their
disposal on the influences from their party. It would be better for the economic
wellness of the state to keep all of the societal plans started under the Roosevelt and
Truman disposals. While this would usually present a job to the federal budget
it will non due to current conditions. The sum of money once spent on national
security, intending military and defence disbursement has been badly reduced ( Albertson,
139 ) . This frees up a big sum of money to be used for other ends. These ends
should be those of bettering the criterion of life for each and every American and non
the immediate decrease of revenue enhancements, a end which many members of the Republican party
would wish to see pursued. The plans initiated in the policies of the New Deal and
Fair Deal should non merely be maintained, alternatively they should be expanded upon. I
suggest that the Social Security system be amended to include benefits for freelance
husbandmans and handicapped workers.
While there is much work to be done on economic policy domestically, the
foreign policy must be dealt with every bit good. One of the most of import facets of foreign
economic policy is that of trade. There are different ways for a authorities to pass
trade. It can be done from a protectionist place or from a more free trade place. In a
protectionist place the authorities is taking to guarantee American concerns and at the
same clip diminish the sum of gross revenues of foreign concern. The fastest method for
carry throughing this undertaking is to increase duties, as in revenue enhancements on foreign goods coming in to the
state. When these revenue enhancements are high it costs the foreign companies much more to transport
goods into the United States. In order to counterbalance these costs the companies must
increase the monetary value of their goods. When people in American see foreign goods for
hideous monetary values and so they see American goods for normal monetary values than they are traveling
to purchase American merchandises. Unfortunately, this is non the
merely consequence of a protectionist
policy. Foreign states frequently get upset at the addition in American duties and respond by
increasing their ain duties on American goods. This weakens the gross revenues of American
goods in foreign states. In order for the United States to hold a favourable balance of
trade so they must hold strong exports. This is where a free trade policy comes in. In a
free trade policy, duties are lowered, leting more goods to be imported to the United
States. Foreign nations will see the lowered duties in the United States and respond by
take downing their duties on American goods. This will increase the overall trade between the
United States and states abroad.
The Republican party would wish to see a return to more protectionist policies.
However, I feel it should be the occupation of the President to steer the Grand Old Party off
from such a point of view ( Bonker, 58 ) . Alternatively of seeking to increase duties, President
Eisenhower should try to regenerate the Reciprocal Trade Act so that he will hold the
power to take down duties by every bit much as 15 per centum. With the duties lowered foreign
states will react favourably. This will bring forth more commercialism and be good to
the United States balance of trade. Another step that should be taken in order to
bolster American trading and abroad investings is to diminish the corporate revenue enhancements to a
per centum much lower than the domestic rate on income earned through foreign subordinates
of U.S. concerns. Trade is indispensable to get the better of the dollar spread that prevented foreign
selling of United States goods ( Melanson and Mayers, 159 ) .
There are many economic issues which face the state at this clip. A recovery
from World War II and the Korean War, a recession, a alteration in the political party of the
president, and several other issues. Thus this must be a clip of strong economic
leading. The policies made and legislative assembly passed must maneuver the United States through
this evident storm and give the state a opportunity to rest from the hecticness of the first
half of the century. For in that half a century the state faced World War I, World War
II, and the Great Depression. Now is a clip when the state must rest up and recover its
strength for the most assuredly difficult times to come. During President Eisenhower s term
in office one word must depict the economic policy, stableness. The state does non
demand hazardous ventures and bold new thoughts, the state needs to keep on to its old
economic point of views. The lone new policies implemented should be those to battle
new issues that arise during the Eisenhower presidential term. Thus all of the economic advice
I have given the President Eisenhower serves one chief intent. That is to guarantee the
economic stableness and prosperity of the United States of America.
In 1953 I took office and began to function as President Eisenhower s head
economic adviser. I rapidly assessed the economic stature of the state and began to
program my policies for the hereafter. I was cognizant of what I wanted to carry through and how I
planned to accomplish my ends. I advised the President on many key and of import
economic issues of our clip. When I think back I must decode whether or non the
policies I implemented were successful. At the clip I thought what I was making was right
but as the stating goes hindsight is twenty-twenty and I can merely genuinely state if I was
successful by looking back upon my work and taking an overview of it.
As I look back upon my clip in office I come to a really distinguishable decision. I
believe that I was successful in accomplishing the economic ends which I set out for.
Through my suggested policies sing societal security I made Americans more secure
in their occupations and their authorities. Through my suggested policies sing plants
plans I created countless occupations for Americans who urgently needed them, particularly
in a clip straight after a major war. In respects to foreign economic policy I was besides really
successful. The trading of the United States was dining. U.S. merchandises were being
produced and sold around the universe. By the 1956 financial twelvemonth the Treasury showed an
impressive excess ( Pach and Richardson, 55 ) . The success of the state s economic system
would turn out to be imperative for the clip. As the state entered the Cold War the focal point
needed to be placed on the Soviet Union, national security, and defence. The economic system
had to be stable because we could non afford to worry about its well being in a clip of
such political discord. The United States had really specific demands during the 1950ss. The
state needed a strong military to vie with the Soviet Union, a strong authorities
to pass, and a strong economic system to endorse it all up. The policies I helped to implement
were the 1s that met the demands of the times. After a war a state needs stableness and my
policies and plans provided this stableness which allowed the United States to
adequately retrieve from World War II and the Korean War so that the state would be
able to contend future conflicts.

As The Fall returns to BBC2 next Thursday, stars Gillian Anderson and Jamie Dornan tells TV Times why they think their hit serial killer thriller works so well…
Gillian, the first series of The Fall and your character DSI Stella Gibson captured the public's imaginations; was that a surprise?
Gillian: "It was the first serial TV show I decided to do post-The X Files and it has been a dream job. People responded so positively to it. When I was in London and it was airing, I didn't get people saying. 'There's Gillian Anderson' it was, 'There's Stella Gibson', which was odd and very different from other experiences that I have had."
Stella has an unflinching determination to track down serial killer Paul Spector (Jamie Dornan) – what makes her tick?
Gillian: "Stella's passionate about her work and good at it, it's her life. It really feels like a hunt this time and it weighs on Stella because there are still lives at risk and because she feels closer to and then increasingly further away from getting him. I enjoy the enigmatic nature of her and she responds to situations in a different way than I would choose to."
Jamie, Spector was last seen fleeing to Scotland with his troubled but unsuspecting wife Sally Ann (Bronagh Waugh) and their children. But as his family decide to return to Belfast without him in the opening episode, it's not long before he makes his own way back to the city. Why is he back?
Jamie: "Guys like Spector have so much confidence that what they are doing is right and that they are untouchable. So it takes a lot more than Gibson sniffing around to put him off."
Do find out any more about the motivation behind the killings?
Jamie: "It has always been a whydunit and that is explored more now. He's in a different place to where we see him in the first series and we get more of an understanding of the reasons why he is the way he is. In real life, so many of these guys have relatively normal lives, sound jobs, girlfriends, wives and even children and none of them know what they are getting up to…"
The series has provoked controversy due to its chilling subject matter, and the depiction of violence against women, in particular, is it gratuitous at times?
Jamie: "We don't see it as misogynistic and unnecessarily violent towards women. It is a depiction of violence against women, but that is because violence against women happens and it's often perpetrated by men and we're trying to get to the bottom of why men do that rather than just showing brutality for the sake of it."
The big question is whether Spector and Stella will finally come face-to-face this series?
Jamie: "It's classic cat-and-mouse, but I can't say how many moments we have together in the second series. But it's a way of finding out if people have not watched the show when they ask me what Gillian is like to work with, because I have no idea!"

When we talk about technology and crime, or technological crime, we probably refer to crimes using new technologies, that is information and communication technologies (ICTs).
It is very difficult to define, as new technologies continue to emerge and the examples become redundant. In some cities in some countries, burglary is a forgotten thing, thanks to burglar alarms.
Closed-circuit TV cameras solve a lot of problems but they create quite a few. Surveillance helps, serving as a powerful deterrent. But all these prying eyes of cameras installed in the name of security become a huge nuisance for some of us; citizens' groups often raise their voice about invasion into our privacy.
At times, these surveillance cameras have caught images not authorised by the law. We have one recent example in Bangladesh. Grooming and other personal service provider, Persona, was allegedly, going beyond limits and suddenly found itself in the news headlines.
Carjacking once became very common even in countries where the car population outstripped the human population. There came the technology – alarms, tracking devices, keys with ability to read its owner's fingerprints – to supplement all the other existing ways of finding or tracking down a stolen car.
For someone who is neither a techie, legal professional, nor a law enforcer but merely a newsgatherer and publisher, the perspective is different. In my struggle to put something together in this particular case, I consulted my colleagues and friends who take interest in such matters.
The first thing that came to mind in most cases was: The tragedy at Ramu.
My colleagues worked overnight to tell the story to the world – the Prime Minister was then out of the country. In New York, meeting world leaders, the Prime Minister ordered immediate response to support the victims and find out the culprits.

As I finished the Seasons Shawl, I had a yen to knit gloves. I found a pattern of Ravelry called Knotty Gloves by Julia Mueller -- free pattern for some very attractive gloves. She knit the pair in the pattern using Socks that Rock yarn in a color called Grawk.
I like Socks that Rock yarn, so I opened up the computer and went searching on their website for yarn colors that appealed to me. Have you ever done that? Do you know how long you can look at pictures of yarn on the Socks that Rock website?
Hours later, I placed an order for one hank of Spinel and one of Corbie. Spinel is a shaded solid color -- one color, dark into light and back again. Corbie is part of the Raven clan group of yarn -- black yarn overdyed with other colors (Grawk is also one of those). I used the Spinel to work on the gloves.
I started them on the way to Kansas City as a traveling project. One the flight to the city and then while in town, I finished the hand and one finger of one glove. Knowing that knitting gloves requires snipping the yarn and starting another finger, I put the first glove aside and started on the second one for the flight back -- no scissors required.
So far, the second glove is finished and I have two fingers and a thumb to finish for the first glove. A very strange way to knit gloves!

Learn more about this important subculture of Mardi Gras.
The Wild Magnolias Mardi Gras Indians are among the many local "tribes" who participate in Indian masking traditions each year. Big Chief Bo Dollis Jr. says everyone should experience this part of Mardi Gras subculture once in their lifetime.
Looking into this history gives us a glimpse at how the people of New Orleans have overcome adversity since the very founding of their city.
Each year, Mardi Gras Indians undergo the task of beading elaborate costumes and parade during Mardi Gras, St. Joseph's Day and Super Sunday.
Dollis says the Mardi Gras Indians keep this tradition alive to pay homage to Native Americans for their help when trying to escape slavery.
Our friends at Palmetto Weekend caught up with the group who traveled all the way to South Carolina for a demonstration at their State Fair.

Remember President Obama's pledge to make the Asia-Pacific region a top priority in U.S. security policy? You'd be forgiven, because it was a strategy in name only. While the Obama administration talked up its policy, announced during the former president's 2011 visit to Australia, China smartly enhanced its engagement with Asian countries and became the most important power for states in the region.
Now the Trump administration has announced a new pivot to the Indo-Pacific region. So, what makes this time any different? Unfortunately, early indications suggest this pledge may be as insignificant as the last one. For starters, Secretary of State Mike PompeoMichael (Mike) Richard PompeoOvernight Defense: Dems want hearing on DOD role on coronavirus vaccine | US and India sign data-sharing pact | American citizen kidnapped in Niger McEnany appears on Fox in 'personal capacity' as Trump campaign adviser US signs satellite data-sharing pact with India, warns of Chinese threats MORE announced an investment of $113 million for the region — chicken feed for most of those countries.
Given that much of this infrastructure is critical to the client state, Chinese investment has the potential to tie countries into long-term dependent relationships that are advantageous to Beijing. For example, Chinese financing for a port project in Sri Lanka resulted in the transfer of valuable real estate to China. China's savvy in obtaining sovereign territory in Sri Lanka through commercial dealings has echoes in the colonial histories of many Asian countries, albeit at the hands of Britain and France. The Sri Lankan example deserves closer examination; it may hold important lessons for other states as they go deeper into China's arms.
Against China's sophisticated and differentiated approach to each country in the region, the current U.S. commitment of $113 million is likely to yield trivial benefits unless there is a better utilization of available levers. Here are some options:
First, there is a powerful lesson to be learned from Chinese diplomatic successes in the region: avoid hectoring and engage in win-win projects. For too long, U.S. engagement with the region has been based on didactic homilies about human rights and related matters. While it is absolutely imperative for the United States to condemn genuine human rights violations, allowing U.S. foreign policy to be hijacked by causes that may not be legitimate or enjoy much domestic support is counterproductive to U.S. interests. And public lectures by U.S. officials only crystallize support for the domestic regime and fuel nationalistic feelings.
Second, recognize that many Asian countries have complicated legacies from colonialism. The public doesn't take kindly to Western interference in their domestic affairs. A softer approach is more likely to be seen as respectful, and could yield better results.
Third, deploy American expertise for capacity-building in Asia. U.S. companies may not be able to compete with Chinese enterprises when it comes to building railways, bridges or other bricks-and-mortar infrastructure, but America enjoys an overwhelming advantage over China for other infrastructure — public institutions, education, technology, finance, energy and health care.
Countries including India, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Mongolia and the Philippines have underdeveloped regulatory bodies, courts, security apparatus and markets. Many of these countries have a common law-based legal system and constitutions that take inspiration from America. The United States has decades of experience in designing institutions necessary for free markets that could serve as models. That can happen only if education leads to capacity-building for officials in Asian countries.
U.S. universities could leverage technology to provide quality American education to millions of Asian students. Countries such as Indonesia and Malaysia have some of the highest mobile phone penetration rates in the world allied with the highest use of social media. India is catching up fast. Together, these countries offer potential markets for online education delivered through mobile phones to reach hundreds of millions of students currently without access to quality education.
Similarly, millions of people do not have access to banking and finance. They have virtually no access to credit, depriving them of commercial opportunities. Alternative financing, enabled by mobile wallets, could unlock new markets for products and services. In turn, education and financing could fuel the development of technology locally on the back of American platforms.
Finally, American research in health care can be vital to solving impending lifestyle problems such as obesity and cardiovascular diseases as these countries transition to greater wealth. Partnering with Asian countries to build health care infrastructure offers obvious advantages, with derivative benefits for pharmaceutical companies, insurers and others.
In the end, bricks and mortar can build only monuments. In contrast, human infrastructure can touch real lives and make a difference in the Indo-Pacific region. And that relies on the most American of virtues — the power of ideas — to maximise a competitive advantage that China cannot match.
To be clear, this requires a fundamental change in American engagement with Asia: respect, understanding, and long-term strategic investment on par with historical practice in Europe. It also demands understanding that most Asian countries seek strong relations with both China and the United States, and are not interested in becoming pawns in dyadic competition. A small number have legitimate apprehensions about China and may be candidates for deeper security cooperation to balance China. But both groups will need more than a $113 million investment to change their posture toward America.
The Trump administration has an opportunity to change U.S. engagement with Asia. The president's transactional approach, based on trade rather than aid, would play particularly well in the Indo-Pacific region. If Trump pivots to Asia with bargains, rather than lectures, he can seize the Asian century and deliver wins for the United States and the Indo-Pacific region.

A local farmer accompanied his pastor to a church convention.
After the convention, while they were driving home,
the pastor asked the farmer what he thought about it.
The farmer said, "Oh. It was all right. I liked it, especially the singing.
But there was one thing I didn't understand.
All that discussion about how to get people to come to church.
When I go to a farmer's convention, we never discuss how to get
the cows to the trough. They just seem to know that if they put good
food there, the cows will come to get it."
1 Tim 6:17-19
17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not
highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God,
who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;
18 That they do good, that they be rich in good works,
ready to distribute, willing to communicate;
19 Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the
time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.
"LIGHT from the WORD."
JESUS is good food for the spiritual soul!
He is the Son, always shining.
He is the Bread of Life, always providing "manna"
in the wilderness of this world.
He is the Tree of Life, providing fruit in every season.
His rain never ceases to fall on the "just and the unjust."
His table is always set, and He calls to people: "Come and dine!"
His "wine and milk" are "without price:" free to all who come.
Because we are rich in Christ, we do not trust in the riches of this world.
We trust in the Living God, Who provides all our need.
Because we are rich in Christ, we are "ready to distribute,
ready to communicate" His goodness to all mankind.
Indeed, let us "lay up in store" the "GOOD Foundation"
of Christ in the church!
HE is the attraction, not programs and facilities!
As children, rich in the grace of our Lord, let us provide HIM as the
central thing in all we do in the church!
That will be "food" enough to attract ALL!
Love ya!
Bro. Bruce

A shareholder proposal calling for Twenty-First Century Fox Inc
Fifty-seven percent of votes cast sided with the position of Fox`s board, which argued that the current share structure provides flexibility and enhances the company`s ability to focus on long-term results, a Fox regulatory filing said.
The majority of Fox shares traded publicly are class A shares
Critics argue that the current set-up concentrates too much power with the Murdoch family. Forty-three percent of votes cast were in favour of eliminating the two classes of shares and giving all shares a vote. The vote was advisory, so passage would not have forced any changes at the company.
Even so, it was noteworthy that more than half of shareholders outside of the Murdoch`s control voted in favour, said Paul Hodgson, an independent governance consultant. In addition to the family stake, another 6.7 percent of the voting shares are held by ValueAct Capital, whose chief executive Jeff Ubben is also a Fox director.
"The message the public shareholders are sending management is get rid of the dual voting class of shares," Hodgson said. The measure`s supporters may use the results to try to persuade Fox management to meet with them to discuss the issue, he added.
Kevin McManus, a vice president of proxy adviser Egan Jones, said the number of people voting against the dual voting class marked "a very significant percentage and puts pressure on the company."
A representative for the measure`s sponsor, the Nathan Cummings Foundation, did not immediately return message seeking comment.
Asked about the result, a Fox spokesman sent remarks by director Viet Dinh, who said at the company`s annual meeting that the board believes the current structure is valued by shareholders.
"The board believes that many are attracted to our stock by the dual class structure and stability and leadership provided by the Murdoch family, both of which have contributed to the long-term success of the company," Dinh said.
Major mutual fund firms have been pushing the importance of equal voting rights as a way to improve the way companies are run.
Fund executives worry about cases like technology initial public offerings such as Snap Inc
At a 26-minute annual meeting on Fox`s movie and television studio lot in Los Angeles, shareholders on Wednesday also easily re-elected Rupert Murdoch and his two sons to the company`s board, suggesting continued support for the family even as its Fox News division is recovering from a series of costly sexual harassment settlements.
That issue has slowed Britain`s regulatory review of the company`s bid to take over broadcaster Sky Plc
Fox also has recently talked to Walt Disney Co
"We have the required scale to continue to execute on our aggressive growth strategy," Lachlan Murdoch said.
The proposed new voting structure, is aimed at beefing up investor oversight over Murdoch and his sons Lachlan and James, who are all Fox board members.
"This structure leaves some shareholders with disproportionate voting power and others with none at all. We think eliminating it would benefit the shareholders and the company," said Roxana Tynan, speaking on behalf of the foundation.
The current structure, she said, "can create corporate cultures with no accountability."
On another advisory measure, 78 percent of votes cast were in support of Fox executives` annual compensation.

As the most reliable and balanced news aggregation service in the world, RWN offers the following information published by: The Federalist Papers
George Papadopoulos, a former advisor in President Donald Trump's campaign, has been ordered to prison by a federal judge who denied his plea for a stay.
Papadopoulos was convicted and ordered to serve a 14-day sentence after he was prosecuted by special counsel Robert Mueller, The Daily Mail reported.
The judge who ordered Papadopoulos to prison, Randolph Daniel Moss, was appointed by former President Obama.
Papadopoulos must surrender to agents on Monday to start his 14-day sentence for lying to FBI agents working on special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation.
U.S. District Court Judge Randy Moss said Papadopoulos's legal arguments fell short of what was needed to justify delaying the sentence that was handed down in September, Politico reported.
Papadopoulos lawyers argued that the former Trump adviser should be granted a 'modest stay' until an appellate court rules in a separate case challenging the legality of Mueller's appointment.
But Moss rejected that argument, which he called an "11th hour" request, writing in a 13-page ruling that even if the challenge to Mueller's appointment was successful – and he doubted it would be – that would unlikely give Papadopoulos cause to undo his own conviction, according to The Washington Post.
Are there partisan judges?
Papadopoulos 'has failed to demonstrate that the D.C. Circuit is likely to conclude that the appointment of the Special Counsel was unlawful – and, indeed, he has failed even to show that the appeal raises a 'close question' that 'very well could be decided' against the Special Counsel,' Moss wrote.
Mueller's team had opposed Papadopoulos' request for a delay in his prison sentence, arguing he had waived his right to challenge Mueller's appointment when he agreed to plead guilty.
They also argued his recent public arguments contradicted what he said at his sentencing trial in September, when he convinced Moss to less his jail sentence by telling the judge he was remorseful over his lies.
In recent weeks, Papadopoulos has said on Twitter he regretted his plea deal with Mueller's team and had hired a new legal team in his quest to avoid jail time.
'I NEVER flipped against the president. What I did do, however, is expose the corruption of this 'investigation' for the world to see. The legacy is what matters now, how history remembers these days. Silence during these critical days was never an option. All must be exposed,' he wrote on Nov. 21.
Papadopoulos also has spun government conspiracy theories on his Twitter feed, accusing prosecutors of 'entrapment' in an international setup. 'Biggest regret? Pleading guilty,' he wrote earlier this month.
His wife Simona Mangiante Papadopoulos has been pressing President Trump to pardon her husband.
At his original sentencing Papadopoulos admitted to lying to the special counsel's team and expressed remorse.

Committee takes action on black bear legislation
The Environment Committee recently took favorable action on legislation that will provide greater protection to farmers and property owners regarding the state's overpopulation of American black bears.
The new bill clarifies the situations in which lethal force can be used to remove an eminent threat from one's property, but does not establish a full hunting system or mechanism.
"This is a good compromise in lieu of fully implementing a hunting season or program," said State Representative Bill Buckbee (R-67th). "This new legislation will provide farmers and property owners who have livestock, poultry and bees, more options to remove black bears from their property by lethal force."
"The surrounding states of Connecticut have established lottery or hunting seasons for black bear removal, so borrowing common sense logic and public policy from our neighbors lead to the creation of this bill," he said.
The legislation makes three important changes to existing law regarding property protection from pests.
The bill clearly states that in the event that livestock, poultry or bees are harmed, damaged or killed by a black bear, then the landowner can either take personal action or procure a permitted actor to euthanize the bear.
There are also strict time regulations regarding the removal, protecting quiet neighboring spaces. It also allows the landowner, or permittee owner, to keep the animal after it has been shot.
"We must take into consideration the livelihood of the agriculture industry, as well as many of our friends and neighbors in the community, that keep chickens or other smaller amounts of livestock on their property," he said. "This legislation is a step in the right direction in terms of bear population management and personal preservation."
The Environment Committee passed the legislation by a final vote tally of 17-11.
Before it becomes law, it will have to be approved by the Senate before also going to the House of Representatives for its final legislative approval.
