Conceived by D&B visionary Kasra back in 2002, in a front room in north London, the Critical Music name has since blossomed into one of the most successful independent record labels in the UK today.
Grown from a simple idea driven by a commitment to putting out the best music the scene has to offer, it has now become one of the most well respected electronic dance music labels in the UK. Nurturing new talent and releasing some of the freshest breaks and beats from the likes of Enei, Foreign Concept, Break, Rockwell, Sabre, Stray, Cyantific, Marcus Intalex, S.P.Y, Calibre, Total Science and many more, it has gone on to build a loyal following around the world driven on by Kasra's never ending quest to release quality underground bass music.
Since his first forays into drum & bass
as a burgeoning young DJ, there's no doubt in 2011 that Kasra has made an indelible mark on the scene, a mark that continues to grow ever-stronger as his Critical Music empire prospers.
Conceived back in 2002 in a front room in north London, the label has grown from a simple idea driven by a commitment to putting out the best music the scene has to offer; it has now become one of the most well respected underground dance music labels in the UK. Nurturing new talent and releasing some of the freshest breaks and beats from the likes of Break, Rockwell, Breakage, Cyantific, Marcus Intalex, S.P.Y, Calibre, Total Science and many more, it has gone on to build a loyal following around the world driven on by Kasra's never ending quest to release quality underground bass music.
As Critical's figurehead the demand for Kasra's DJ'ing skills has escalated to the point of a schedule that sees him playing regularly every weekend throughout the UK and rest of the world. Vienna, Budapest, Shanghai, Beijing, Miami, Berlin and of course his beloved London are just a few of the places that have beared witness to the Critical sound and the list just keeps getting longer. Quite a feat these days for someone who's not yet really taken the production bull by the horns.
Though this could be about to change as Kasra's back in the studio readying his own takes on the Critical sound; a collaboration with S.P.Y. is already complete and due for a May 2011 release date as well as solo productions gradually working their way into the sets of the great and the good of the dnb community.
Not content with a release schedule bursting with future classics and his own rigorous DJ'ing schedule continually on the up, the label even now boasts its own residency at one of the worlds best electronic music venues , Fabric, where it can regularly be seen smashing up the place with an always superstar cast of DJing elite from D&B and beyond. So now as heads turn and eyes look forward to the rest of 2011 it seems this could be the tipping point for Kasra both as a DJ and a label head of one of the most inspiring imprints in dance music today. The Critical age is only just beginning.
Hailing from St. Petersburg in Russia it was way back in 2003 that a young Alexey Egorchenkov first got the taste for the musical drug Drum & Bass. Like many others before him he became hooked, dabbling with his own production and DJing soon after. Taking the artist name Enei his career began to blossom giving him star status in his beloved Russia and far but it wasn't until 2007 that things really began to escalate.
During this year Enei earned his first official release on the Dutch label Fokuz but it was the first of many as others began to drop on other imprints such as Blu Saphir, Cyanide and Citrus throughout 2008 and 2009. Whilst his productions and profile began to take shape a certain eagle-eyed label boss, renowned for his supreme A&R'ing, was keeping close tabs on him; it wasn't long before the phone call was made and Kasra secured the first Enei release for Critical Music at the end of 2010. The rest as they say, is history.
Releasing the Andy C favourite 'Cracker', 'One Chance' and the much lauded 'Stone Head EP', Enei's Critical discography is relatively short but seeing the sheer talent within Kasra signed him exclusively for the label in 2011. It was Enei's biggest year and to top it off he came away the 'Best Newcomer Producer' accolade at the end of year Drum & Bass Arena Awards.
As we enter 2012 things are only getting better for Russia's number 1 producer/DJ; his debut album is complete and scheduled for early summer whilst a slew of remix work continues to pour in. With his music supported by Goldie, London Elektricity, Bailey, DJ Hype, Andy C, Kasra and many more, and an ever increasing DJ'ing schedule, you can guarantee this is merely the start of it as one of the most exciting of the new producers generation in electronic music today continues to make his way.
Mefjus is a new producer hailing from Austria who's name has been amassing quite a following amongst the drum & bass hierarchy of late. Amongst a plethora of other young Austrian artists, Mefjus is the one that stands out and for good reason; his brand of jaw-dropping, proper tech-infused beats and bass is like no other and now as he teams up with Critical he looks set to hit the worldwide stage.
In the studio Mefjus combines a deft touch with astute technical skills, creating the kind of hard hitting tracks that have made it into the sets of the great and the good of drum and bass including, Andy C, Friction, Phace , Rockwell and more.
Having signed tracks to labels such as Neosignal and more it was the ears of renowned Critical label boss Kasra that cottoned on early to secure Mefjus as a fully fledged member of the Critical Music squad.

'American Sniper' Stars, Writer Went Beyond Chris Kyle's Book
8:51 PM PST 12/16/2014 by Hilary Lewis
Charles Sykes/Invision/AP
Plus Bradley Cooper's co-stars reveal how they reacted to the actor's much-discussed transformation
Bradley Cooper's new film American Sniper, directed by Clint Eastwood, is both based on the autobiography of the same name by accomplished marksman Chris Kyle (and co-authors Scott McEwen and Jim DeFelice) and parts of Kyle's life not included in the book.
Screenwriter Jason Hall began scripting the film while Kyle, who was killed at a shooting range in February 2013, was still alive, and before Kyle wrote the book. Hall said he tried to incorporate "the other side" of the book's late subject into the movie — specifically who Kyle was outside of war.

"The book didn't portray … the softer side of who [Kyle] was before the war and some of the healing that he encountered after the war and how he found a way to help all these vets," Hall told The Hollywood Reporter at American Sniper's New York premiere Monday night. "And I thought that was the powerful story."
After Kyle was killed, Hall said he felt a strong responsibility to portray the skilled sniper accurately.
"There was a lot of pressure to get it right because his wife wanted us to get it right. And we wanted to get it right for those kids. He's got two kids left behind, and they're 4 and 6, so you remember very little from that age. Hopefully we got this right so that they can have this to remember him by," Hall added.
Cooper's co-stars in the film also went beyond the book to prepare themselves to play Kyle's fellow service members.

Luke Grimes, who plays Navy SEAL Marc Lee, said that he spoke to Lee's girlfriend at the time, who sent him photos and emails they exchanged, "just to give me a better understanding of who he was as a person," the actor said.
Cory Hardrict, who plays another SEAL, also tried to get into the military mindset by watching war movies, like Black Hawk Down.
Nashville actor Eric Close, meanwhile, who has a small but significant part in the film, said that since his section of the story wasn't in Kyle's book, he relied on the script and spoke to the writer during his week in Morocco, flying out and filming his scenes around completing an episode of the ABC drama.
Ultimately, though, Close said he just trusted Eastwood.

"He's the man. You've just got to trust his instincts," the actor said, describing the experience of working with Eastwood as "a dream come true."
"I never knew if it would ever happen," Close said. "I've known him for a number of years, and then this one came about, and the next thing I knew I was on a plane to Morocco."
Close and Cooper's other co-stars also marveled at the two-time Oscar nominee's much discussed transformation into Kyle, including putting on 40 pounds of muscle and adopting the Navy SEAL's Texas drawl.
"He embodied that character and I thought he really paid a great respect to Chris' memory and legacy," Close said. "He really did it honor, I thought. It was an amazing performance, and very subtle."

Hardrict added: "He surprised everybody. You see him now, and it's like night and day. … He looked like a different guy. He had a beard and was chewing the tobacco. He had the accent down. It was awesome."
Grimes said, "I hadn't heard that he had put on all this weight, so the first day he shows up and I didn't even recognize him. He was so committed the whole time."
Sienna Miller is also fairly unrecognizable in her role as Kyle's wife, Taya, who was also on hand for Monday's Jazz at Lincoln Center screening in Manhattan.
"It's not a conscious thing," Miller said of her transformation. "Obviously I had brown hair, so that's different. You try to capture the idiosyncrasies that make someone. The facial movements, the physicality that's obviously very different to my own. And you try to inhabit something. So if it's unrecognizable then I've done my job."

Cooper, meanwhile, took on an additional job in this film, that of producer.
When asked what he learned about that part of filmmaking from his experience on Sniper, Cooper said, "a tremendous amount."
"Everything that goes into making a movie from buying the rights to a book to standing right here talking to you," he added on the red carpet, saying he really learned about how collaborative the process of making a movie is. "You want to surround yourself with people who have the same kind of work ethic that you do."
Warner Bros. execs Sue Kroll, Greg Silverman, Dan Fellman and Kevin Tsujihara were also on hand for the film's New York premiere along with Cooper's Elephant Man co-star Alessandro Nivola, Inside the Actors Studio host James Lipton, Benjamin McKenzie, Tia Mowry, Montel Williams, Bob Woodruff, actress and Fox News contributor Stacey Dash, Stephen Baldwin and others.
American Sniper opens in select theaters on Christmas Day, expanding nationwide on Jan. 16.

White Supremacists, Other Extremists Respond to Russian Invasion of Ukraine
Blog XX min read
White Supremacists Embrace "Accelerationism"
In the week since Russian President Putin declared a "special military operation" in Ukraine, the Russian leader has become a pariah among much of the global community. Even white supremacist communities, once steadfast in their support for Putin's Russia, are now questioning whether the invasion is worth the cost in "white" lives. They are also railing against non-white refugees resettling in "white" Europe and offering support for a Ukrainian military arm with neo-Nazi ties.
Putin and his Russia have long been admired by the far right and white supremacists, thanks largely to perceptions of today's Russia as an all-white, Christian nation. White supremacist and alt right leader Richard Spencer called Russia "the sole white power in the world." Meanwhile, Mathew Heimbach, founder of the Traditionalist Workers Party, called Russia "The New Shining City on the Hill" and President Putin as "the leader of the free world." Today, however, in light of Putin's actions in Ukraine, some white supremacists are having difficulty aligning reality with their long-held beliefs.
Divergence on Putin
White supremacists have expressed a range of opinions around Putin's role in this conflict. The initial declaration of the invasion being an effort for "demilitarization and denazification" of Ukraine has caused a large backlash among neo-Nazis. The American Futurist, an accelerationist media platform, stated it does not support Putin: "So again, if you're NS[National Socialist] and you're supporting Putin who is literally invading a country with a listed reason of destroying NS[National Socialist] groups like Azov Battalion then your pretty fucking retarded…, "a reference to the Ukrainian national guard unit with explicit neo-Nazi ties. Many other groups have begun referring to Putin as Jewtin, implying that he is controlled by Jewish Russian Oligarchs. One user on the Fashwave Telegram channel wrote "this invasion will result in nothing but dead Europeans at the behest of Russian jewish [sic] oligarchs."
Others, meanwhile, believe that criticism of Putin is suspicious and may be coming from "the Feds." One poster on a Telegram channel run by Milo Yiannopoulos wrote "most of these 'Putin is a Jew' takes come out of NatSoc [national socialist] circles that are heavily compromised by the feds." In some cases, support for Putin is lukewarm: "I'm not ready to say that Vladimir Putin is some really great dude but he has more reason to invade Ukraine than we did Iraq," one post reads. Another wrote, in a response to Yiannopoulos, "I don't think Putin's our guy, but I also think he's preferable to atheist Western hegemony."
"No More Brother Wars"
A common thread among white supremacist groups has been the notion that the current conflict is a "brother war," and nothing can be gained from the killing of fellow white people. White Lives Matter made a statement on their official page: "End the war, call out the international clique of anti-Whites and their involvement on both sides, sentencing Whites to genocide yet again. White Racial Unity. That's it. The only take you can have as a pro-White." White Lives Matter has been expressly against the conflict, even going as far as to liken the bombings in Kharkiv to that of Dresden in 1945.
The white supremacist group Indiana Active Club posted on its Telegram channel "the Indiana Active Club extends the deepest love for our fallen brothers in the East. Whether you support the Ukrainian or the Russian side of this conflict, remember that every fallen white men (sic) is a loss to European people as a whole."
Support for Azov Battalion
Among the more extremist of the white supremacist movement, namely accelerationists, there has been broad support for the Azov Battalion, a Ukrainian national guard unit with explicit neo-Nazi ties. The American Futurist has even provided contact information for individuals who wish to travel to Ukraine and fight alongside Azov. Posts have also been made with crypto currency addresses for individuals to send money for Azov.
Others see Azov as a pathway to the creation of a National Socialist state in Ukraine. As a user in the Goyim Defense League chat posted, "You might be right. But if AZOV controls Ukraine, Ukraine wins and National Socialists get a victory." In the Church of Aryanity Telegram feed, a user wrote "if they arrested there whole government and the azov battalion was leading things id join aha [all sic]."
As of March 2, 2022, the U.N. estimates nearly one million civilian refugees have fled Ukraine, most crossing into Poland. White supremacists have responded by claiming that it is not only "Ukrainians" coming into the EU but "Africans and Muslims" as well. A poster on a Telegram channel dedicated to sharing National Socialist music and content wrote "in Poland non whites used situation with open borders and sneak into the country pushed from trains Ukrainian woman and childrens [all sic]." An Instagram post shared on Telegram shows a video of a train station in Przemyśl, Poland, with the question, "Where are the Ukrainians?" – an apparent reference to the number of Black men at the station.
In the Telegram Channel Tolerant Fellows Hologram, a user posted "by some miracle Morgoth's Law, that states that no matter where the conflict is in the world – the "refugees" coming to Europe will be fighting age black and brown [sic] men, is still in effect with a war in Ukraine. Fucking Ukraine, lmao." Another example blames Putin, using antisemitic language, for the arrival of these refugees: "Thanks for the refugee crises that will negatively impact Europe & American, Jewtin." Others claim this is part of a broader anti-white conspiracy, saying "this is all so Ukraine is swallow [sic] into the EU and destroyed by Jews with the kalergi plan," a reference to the white supremacist and far-right conspiracy theory about Jewish plans to overwhelm white European populations with non-white "invaders."
Islamist Extremist Reaction
Multiple Islamist extremist groups are also weighing in against Putin. Members of Tahrir al-Sham, a Sunni militant group involved in the Syrian Civil War, have thrown their support behind Ukraine, demonstrating their longstanding opposition to Putin, which dates to his support for Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad in 2015. These leaders have also condemned Chechen Muslims fighters who have supported Putin in the conflict.
ISIS and Al-Qaeda, meanwhile have spoken out against supporting either side in the conflict, labeling both nations as "unbelievers" and "crusaders." These groups instead have called on their followers to exploit the conflict and wage jihad against non-believers in the conflict zone. A post in an ISIS-run chat read "to the brothers, supporters of the Islamic State in Russia and Ukraine: Seize the opportunity, brothers, and collect weapons – for weapons have been widely distributed to civilians – then attack the crusaders."

Q: Universal means of describing what functions a library should expose I am busy with a hobby OS and I am planning on making the project open-source and eventually have support for multiple platforms. With this in mind I have taken the approach of putting all hardware specific code in a separate Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) library so that the kernel does not need to know how the specific hardware handles things such as memory and interrupts. The kernel will just call the HAL function asking for some memory or to hook an interrupt by calling hal_memory_malloc(...); and hal_interrupts_hook(...); respectively.
My question is, I would like to know if there are any universal means of describing what functions the library has to expose if a developer wants to port the HAL to another platform. Seeing the Kernel knows the name of the function because it's in the kernel's header files the library just needs to have a function with that specific name in it. As the kernel I don't care how your function works as long as its there and I can call it.
Edit
My kernel and library is written in C so the library will be a normal statically linked libray
At the moment I have a Word Document that has a diagram showing the different functions but this is going to become a mess soon.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

A: Define it with C header file containing all the prototypes declared extern. Documented with comments in the file itself using doxygen or similar format. That way the compiler will check that the functions have correct signatures when building the library. Doxygen is fully suitable for writing complete documentation and being a text format it is easily versionable, which word or similar binary document formats are not.
But there is not much reason to make it a library anyway. You certainly do want to separate what has to be implemented for each platform and what is generic. But on each platform you only need one HAL and since you still have to compile the generic part for each platform separately (because the object form is not generic), you can just compile it all together.
Besides there are things where you probably should define as C or preprocessor definitions in the platform dependent header included by the generic part for performance reasons, so just a library won't do. While general rule is to not bother with micro-optimizations, some things in kernel like locks (with disabling interrupts in some cases) and atomic operations (for reference counting and other lockless concurrent operations) really need to be inlined.

PTI govt to finalise mobile manufacturing policy next month
Chinese firms expected to set up manufacturing plants, especially in SEZs
By  Our Correspondent

ISLAMABAD: The government has planned to finalise a mobile device manufacturing policy next month in a bid to attract investment into setting up cellphone manufacturing plants in the country.
Adviser to Prime Minister on Commerce, Textile, Industries, Production and Investment Abdul Razak Dawood chaired a meeting to review the draft of mobile device manufacturing policy prepared by the Engineering Development Board (EDB), Ministry of Industries and Production.
According to officials, 57% of cellphones in Pakistan operate on 2G technology, therefore, the mobile device manufacturers will have the potential to exploit the market.
They said the policy would be implemented in three phases. In the first phase, the assembly of semi-knocked down and completely knocked down units will be allowed. In the second phase, domestic manufacturing of mobile phones will be allowed whereas, in the third phase, the manufacturers will be permitted to export their products. Officials said Pakistan had voiced hope that the market would attract all mobile brands due to incentives offered in the new policy.
They revealed that Chinese companies would take an interest in setting up cellphone manufacturing plants, especially in the Special Economic Zones (SEZs). Pakistan is also going to set up an SEZ for information technology in Islamabad.
The PM adviser was of the view that the draft policy would help develop and promote the mobile device manufacturing industry in Pakistan as part of the electronic products manufacturing initiative called "Make in Pakistan".
The policy would attract new investment, generate employment and make Pakistan a global player in electronics manufacturing, he added.
Dawood pointed out that the proposed policy envisaged incentives for domestic manufacturing and assembly of mobile devices, which was expected to shift focus from the import of mobile phones in the form of completely built units to semi-knocked down and completely knocked down units.
The adviser emphasised that the proposed policy was mainly aimed at employment generation, import substitution, and technology transfer. The import of devices will be substituted by the import of completely knocked down kits at a rationalised duty structure with an increase in duty on the import of completely built units. "This will make domestic assembly and manufacturing feasible." Dawood was of the view that the proposed policy would attract domestic and foreign direct investment in the engineering sector, particularly in the manufacturing electronics equipment including mobile phone devices. He urged domestic and foreign companies to pump money into the manufacturing of electronic goods in Pakistan in order to get a high return on their investment.
"SEZs will provide technical and financial support through various incentives by granting tax holidays and duty exemptions on parts which are used in the manufacturing of mobile phone devices and other electronic goods," he added.

Celebrating Fifty Years of the Golden Gate Highlands National Park!
Golden Gate Highlands National Park turns 50 today!
We're back in Golden Gate Highlands National Park, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Park's founding. On this special occasion, it is good to look back on the history of this magnificent piece of South Africa.
In December 1880 Jan van Reenen bought a farm here in the scenic Eastern Free State and, on arrival, the family found the setting sun casting a soft golden glow on the sandstone cliffs, inspiring the name "Golden Gate".
It was in March 1962 that the then National Parks Board (today called South African National Parks) decided to set aside a piece of the Orange Free State as a national park, and the beautiful and mountainous Golden Gate was identified as the best location. By September 1962 the Government announced that portions of a number of farms have been purchased for this purpose, leading up to the official proclamation of the Golden Gate Highlands National Park on the 13th of September 1963.
At its inception the park covered a mere 4,792 hectares. Additional land purchases saw the Park's size increase to 6,241 hectares in 1981 and to 11,630 hectares in 1989. The biggest expansion occurred in November of 2008, when the neighbouring Qwa Qwa Nature Reserve (originally proclaimed in 1990 by the authorities in the former homeland of the same name) was incorporated into the National Park, increasing its size to the current 32,690 hectares. Today, Golden Gate also forms an integral part of the Maloti Drakensberg Transfrontier Conservation Area – a worthy initiative linking all the conservation areas of this mountainous region that also includes the uKhahlamba Drakensberg Park in Kwazulu-Natal Province and Sehlabathebe National Park in Lesotho, amongst others.
Golden Gate features some of South Africa's most beautiful mountain scenery, with a considerable range in altitude (between 1800 and 2850 meters above sea level) and associated climatic conditions, located as it is in the foothills of the Maloti and Drakensberg mountain ranges. Temperatures range from an extreme -12 degrees Celsius on winter nights to 33 degrees or more on summer days, with most rainfall occurring in summer (though snow falls quite frequently in winter). The Little Caledon River and Klerk Spruit are the most important watercourses in the Park, with the layered sandstone cliffs being its most recognisable feature. The plant life is mostly grassy and herbaceous (with spectacular floral displays in spring and summer), and few large woody species – the latter being mainly confined to the narrow valleys, or "kloofs" as they are known locally, and includes some exotic specimens that are being allowed to live out their lives due to their aesthetic and historic value.
The National Parks Board quickly began reintroducing various game species that occurred here historically but had been wiped out by man prior to the park's proclamation (although some species, like grey rhebuck, mountain reedbuck, black-backed jackal and baboon, had managed to hang on). The first animals, five red hartebeest from the Kalahari Gemsbok National Park, already arrived on the 5th of May 1963. Two other notable introductions are those of the endangered oribi, a small antelope, in 1972 and 1974, and of the sungazer, an endangered girdled lizard with a characteristic spiky appearance, during 1990. Today the park protects a huge number of plant species (there's more than 60 species of grasses alone), a remarkable variety of insects (including 78 kinds of butterfly), two indigenous species of fish, eight kinds of amphibians, 28 species of reptile, 180 kinds of birds (including endangered species like the bearded and cape vultures, and the bald ibis) and nearly 60 species of indigenous mammals, some in considerable numbers. The game count in 2011 showed the park is home to around 2,400 blesbok, 1,400 black wildebeest, 1,000 plains zebra, 1,000 red hartebeest, 700 eland and 450 springbok, to name a few.
Golden Gate doesn't only protect a grand and valuable variety of natural beauty though. The Park is world-renowned for the discovery of the oldest fossilised eggs, embryos and nesting sites of dinosaurs dating back 190 million years. Closer to the present, there's a number of rock painting sites reminding us that this beautiful landscape was once the home of the Khoisan. The small van Reenen family graveyard is also worth a solemn visit. Golden Gate has seen its fair share of human conflict, and among the relics hikers may come across are the discarded remains of ammunition and weaponry destroyed during the Second Anglo-Boer War in the early 1900's (during which some Boer women and their children opted to rather hide out in the caves of Golden Gate than face the perils of the British concentration camp at Harrismith after their farms and homesteads had been burned to the ground). Insight into the culture, traditions, history and lifestyle of the Basotho people can be gained by visiting the fascinating "living" museum at the Basotho Cultural Village. Differing from most other national parks in South Africa, a few local people, and their livestock, still inhabit portions of the Qwa Qwa section of the Park.
Glen Reenen Rest Camp provided the first tourist accommodation in the fledgling park, with the first overnight guests being housed there in converted farm buildings on the 29th of September 1963. Additional accommodation was soon constructed at Glen Reenen, and camping facilities provided. Glen Reenen was extensively upgraded, expanded and renovated during 2003 and 2004 but retains its rustic charm and farm-like character. Facilities here include a fuel station and a small shop that stocks a variety of groceries and curios.
By 1968, thirty-four new self-catering chalets had been completed in the Brandwag Rest Camp below the Park's most recognisable feature, the iconic Brandwag buttress. Work then commenced on the building of an alpine-style mountain inn to provide full service accommodation and so the Brandwag Hotel was officially opened on the 24th of March 1972. Following extensive renovations and upgrading to both the main hotel building, with its fifty-plus hotel rooms, and the chalets, this resort (complete with tennis courts and bowling greens) was renamed the Golden Gate Hotel and Chalets in 2010. Facilities now include various conference rooms, a restaurant, a coffee shop, a sports bar and a curio shop.
In the early 1980's the Wilgenhof Environmental Education Centre came into existence, its main focus being to provide visiting school groups with a well-developed curriculum, to learn more about the value of our natural resources and the reasons for protecting the remaining few natural areas in our country and the world. Scholars are housed in dormitory-style rooms, and the facility also provides a lecture hall and kitchen.
The eight self-catering log units at the Highlands Mountain Retreat is a unique accommodation option, located at an altitude of 2200m with a magnificent view over the eastern sections of the Park, and accessible only along a narrow road leading deep into the mountains. The Highlands Mountain Retreat opened to visitors in 2005.
Following the inclusion of the Qwa Qwa nature reserve in 2008, accommodation is now also available at the Basotho Cultural Village in spacious self-catering units that resemble traditional Basotho rondawels (round thatched huts).
The restored old farmstead at Noord-Brabant offers six guests secluded, private accommodation some distance from the main road leading through the Park. All the mentioned accommodation options inside the Park are managed by SANParks and is where we prefer to stay when visiting Golden Gate, but there is a wide variety of privately owned and operated accommodation options in the towns and on the farms around the Park.
The road between Glen Reenen and Harrismith, our favourite route to Golden Gate, was paved only in the mid-1990's and allows quick three to four hour access to the Park via the N3 motorway from Durban and the major urban centres in Gauteng. The original route to the Park leads through the towns of Bethlehem and Clarens, and is certainly the most scenic option.
There's a variety of outdoor activities to enjoy during a visit to Golden Gate. Horse riding has been extremely popular since the Park's early years, as is the natural swimming pool at Glen Reenen, in a rock pool in a mountain stream (understandably the latter only during the summer months!). There's a selection of day walks, varying in duration from one to six hours and suited to a variety of age groups and fitness levels, to enjoy, the most popular leading to the top of Brandwag Buttress. Opened in 1978, there's also the Ribbok Hiking Trail, a 30km trail that takes two days to complete and over the length of which hikers covers a range in altitude of over 1000 meters. Up to 18 hikers can be accommodated on any given day on the Ribbok trail, where basic overnight facilities are provided in a hiking cottage deep in the mountains. Cyclists too enjoy the meandering routes through the mountains. The newly opened (2012) photographic hide at the vulture restaurant, where carcasses are provided to supplement the diets of the endangered vultures that occur here, is a highlight of any visit. Searching for the numerous game and bird species from the comfort of your own vehicle is an option definitely worth exercising, with two tarred loop roads near Glen Reenen and a gravel road to the small town of Kestell offering good sightings and magnificent views. Meriting picnic site near the park's administrative headquarters at Gladstone is just the place to enjoy a relaxing afternoon.
There probably aren't very many people more in love with Golden Gate than us de Wets, but can you blame us? The Golden Gate Highlands is a spectacularly beautiful national park, one of the jewels in South Africa's conservation crown, and may it remain so for many, many generations to come!

We have installed a range of gates and barriers for domestic and commercial premises across the Dorset and Hampshire over the last 30 years. Our success comes from only using high specification equipment We use mostly BFT Automation (UK) products, who are an Italian manufacturer of access automation technology. They specialise in gate and door automation for home and commercial customers. They also provide a range of technology solutions for car parking systems.
Barriers are used by many commercial businesses, to stop unauthorised access into company car parks and other private areas. We will work with you to design a system that can also be incorporated into access control and door entry systems.
We can install using architect drawings, site plans and insurance specifications, or if required can design and provide a specific system, which is tailored to your requirements using CAD drawings / site plans.
Our range of turnstiles offer you a high security entry and exit system for your business or venue. Access is available via proximity bullet recorders, swipe cards and biometric and hand scanners.
Everything is made for ease of use and increased security for your employees, customers, guests and property. They can be combined with a complete 'time and attendance' report to enhance your security even further. We offer a free no obligation quote and free training on all turnstile systems installed on your premises.

What types of events and park ranger programs are offered at Fire Island?
Check our Calendar of Events and follow us on on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
You can drive to the Fire Island Lighthouse or to the Otis Pike Fire Island High Dune Wilderness on either end of Fire Island National Seashore, but you can't drive the length of the island. Mid-island attractions like Watch Hill, Sailors Haven, and Fire Island communities may be accessed by passenger ferry or private boat. Water taxis run during the season and are a means to get from one place to another on Fire Island.
Find detailed directions and learn more about getting to Fire Island.
How do I get to the Fire Island Lighthouse?
Please note that some mapping services mistakenly direct visitors to the opposite, or east, end of Fire Island to access the lighthouse. The Fire Island Lighthouse is located on the west end of Fire Island, adjacent to Robert Moses State Park and may be accessed year-round by vehicle.
At the Robert Moses water tower proceed east to Parking field #5. There is a parking fee at certain times of the year. Please note that on busy summer days there can be a delay getting to the park due to the high volume of traffic. Park on the east side of the parking field and follow the boardwalk 3/4-mile to the lighthouse.
Where can I camp on Fire Island?
There are a variety of camping options on Fire Island. Learn more below.
You may carry your gear into the Otis Pike Fire Island High Dune Wilderness from Watch Hill for a "backcountry" or "wilderness" camping experience either on the beach or behind the dunes, depending on the time of year. Most backcountry campers take a passenger ferry from Patchogue on Long Island to access the wilderness. Reservations are required and a small fee is charged to process the permit.
There are also campgrounds with restroom facilities and campground stores nearby. There is a family campground at Watch Hill, accessed by passenger ferry or private boat; and a campground at the Smith Point County Park that can accommodate tents or trailers and is accessible by vehicle.
What can I do for fun on Fire Island?
Fire Island is yours to explore! In season, you may swim, surf, sunbathe, fish, hike, and much, much more.
From mid-October through mid-May, visitors enjoy a hiking, beach combing, photography, and indoor and outdoor ranger-guided programs.
No matter what time of year you plan to visit, be sure to check out Fire Island National Seashore's ranger-guided programs and special events before you come.
Are dogs allowed on Fire Island?
Pets are permitted on Fire Island in many places. However, from May 15 through Labor Day, pets are not permitted on ocean beaches and in wilderness.
Find out where dogs are permitted.
Are there entrance fees at Fire Island National Seashore?
There are no entrance fees on Fire Island. However, you should plan to pay for parking and/or passenger ferry or water taxi fees for most places on Fire Island.
Motorized off-road vehicle (ORV) use is permitted in limited National Park Service areas on Fire Island. Recreational ORV driving is permitted by the Seashore seasonally from the Wilderness Visitor Center, with a current valid Fire Island National Seashore Sportsman's Vehicle Permit.
Please visit the Oversand Vehicle Operation page for more information.
What is Fire Island National Seashore like in winter?
Winter offers visitors the opportunity to experience a side of the Seashore most summer beachgoers miss. Nature lovers enjoy birding and botanizing behind the dunes this time of year without pesky ticks and mosquitoes. Many waterfowl come just for the winter months, dabbling and diving in the Great South Bay, while Snowy Owls can be seen searching tall grasses for their small mammal prey. Powerful winter storm waves leave behind tiny treasures on the beach, like shells and sea glass, drawing beach combers from near and far. And, when the snow is sufficient, some folks will even cross-country ski by the sea!
Hardy hikers delight in the three-mile round-trip hike to the breach, an opening in the barrier island created by Hurricane Sandy. This ranger-guided walk through undulating back dune habitat and across the windswept beach explores New York's only federally designated wilderness.

Flint Councilman Eric Mays files federal lawsuit against council members, mayor and city attorney

(This story has been updated with comment from the city of Flint.)
FLINT, MI - First Ward Flint Councilman Eric Mays is suing Mayor Sheldon Neeley, one of Neeley's top aides, the city attorney, a Flint police officer who has removed him from meetings and fellow council members, claiming they've violated his constitutional rights.
In a federal lawsuit filed Friday, Sept. 11, Mays claims those he has sued have violated his right to free speech, due process and unreasonable seizure, denied him equal protection under the law, and subjected him to false arrest.
"My reputation and image has been marred by a group of council people ... What else could I do?" Mays said Monday, Sept. 14.
But the city immediately called the lawsuit frivolous and said it would ask in U.S. District Court for an order forcing Mays to reimburse the city for the cost of defending itself in the lawsuit.
"This frivolous lawsuit is another unfortunate and costly attempt by Councilman Mays to disrupt and distract," the statement from Flint Director of Communications Marjory Raymer says. "His previous lawsuits already have cost the city tens of thousands of dollars in attorney fees and this lawsuit will waste even more taxpayer money. These are dollars that should go to city services like protecting residents and employees from COVID-19 and providing water payment assistance to residents.
"This is a waste of time and money at a time when we are literally fighting for our lives in the midst of a worldwide pandemic," the statement says. "Councilman Mays needs to take personal responsibility for his actions..."
Three constituents of Mays' ward are also parties to the lawsuit, saying they were also deprived of their constitutionally-guaranteed rights of representation and a voice in City Council meetings.
Mays cites three separate instances when he says he was improperly removed from council meetings, and an incident in a bar on Flint's west side in which he alleges he was subjected to "crude taunts, insults and verbal abuse" by Duvarl Murdock, Neeley's deputy chief of staff, before he was slapped, struck and thrown to the floor "where he sustained physical injuries which required medical treatment," the lawsuit states.
The lawsuit says Neeley abused Mays' rights by "showcasing" the incident at Rube's bar in a city news release that said in part that the councilman first "approached Murdock in a hostile fashion and Murdock defended himself."
The lawsuit seeks nearly $1 million -- more than $100,000 in damages for each of nine counts of wrongdoing he alleges -- and has been assigned to a federal magistrate.
Mays has been reelected by voters in three straight elections and ran for mayor in 2015. He has been removed or voluntarily left council meetings before he could be escorted by police at least seven times since 2012, including at least once before he was elected. A police officer is typically at council meetings but Mays is the lone council member to be removed from his seat since he took office.

HIBS legend Pat Stanton and boss Alan Stubbs last night urged fans to back a new share offer and take control of their club's destiny.
In a ground-breaking move, the Easter Road board has unveiled plans to enable fans to own 51 per cent of the club's shares.
After talks with supporters' groups, shareholders and the Bank of Scotland, a new overall strategy for the Leith club has been devised.
Bank debt has now been wiped out.
The existing bank securities over Easter Road and the Straiton training complex have been removed and overall debt has been halved thanks to £4.5million of loans being converted to shares.
The remaining £5m debt is now part of a single mortgage due to a holding company which the club will pay off at a favourable rate.
On the back of Saturday's 4-0 thrashing of Rangers, which fuelled Hibs' chances of getting back into a Championship title race, the news has been welcomed by punters and legends alike.
Stanton – a critic of the way the club has been run in recent times – is on board with the plan. He said: "A lot of people have come forward since relegation, and they've done so because they care passionately about our club.
"A lot has been said, and now it is the time to get behind the team and support this plan.
"It gives people what they have been telling me they want – a much greater stake in their club.
"I would urge supporters to look at what is being proposed, and I think they will find it to their liking.
Head coach Stubbs is also swayed by the plan which would increase the chances of profits raised being ploughed back into strengthening his squad.
He said: "Supporters will embrace the opportunity to have such a stake in their club, and I echo Pat's sentiments that we all need to unite behind the Hibs now.
A campaign to oust Rod Petrie as chairman and find a buyer for Tom Farmer's controlling interest has been ongoing and intensified in the summer after the club was relegated following a disastrous defeat by Hamilton in the play-off final.
But groups disenchanted with the performance of the club on and off the park lacked any real cohesive strategy.
Now the club, led by chief executive Leeann Dempster, has come up with a plan which gives fans the chance to own their club and take away any fears that the bank could call in a debt at any time and force the sale of either the ground or training complex.
Dempster said: "The board's plan is radical, a real first in Scottish football.
Two supporters from a candidate list of 17 will be elected to the board on January 28 at the AGM as the club move towards the model of ownership announced yesterday.
Supporters' group Hands On Hibs welcomed the chance to run the club.
A statement read: "Now is the time to put aside disagreements and to engage positively in this process of change, as Hands On Hibs have done throughout.
