Thank you for choosing to adopt your next pet! Not only are you giving a deserving animal a loving home, you are helping to save the lives of many other pets in our community and beyond. Animal Care Sanctuary strives to provide an adoption experience that considers the needs and lifestyles of both the adopter and the pet. Our Adoption Coordinator works with prospective families to ensure happy, successful adoptions that last a lifetime.
The fees for adopting animals help us provide medical care, food, shelter, and enrichment for the animals in our care. Your pet will come to you spayed or neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped.
Be certain you are allowed to have an animal at your residence.
Be able and willing to spend the time and money necessary to provide the training, medical treatment, and proper care for the animal through the course of the animal's life.
Be committed to making this pet part of your family.
Be sure your current pets are up to date on state required vaccinations and are spayed or neutered.
We strongly recommend that all family members who will be living with the pet, meet the pet prior to adoption.
Adoptable dogs must be introduced to dogs already living in the home to ensure the best match.
In addition, please check local ordinances to find out whether your city, town, or village enforces limits on the number of pets in one household.
Visit our East Smithfield, PA or Wellsboro, PA location to meet your new best friend!
When you arrive stop into the adoption office to meet our adoption coordinator who will assist you in your search for a perfect pet!
Once you have found the perfect pet, you will be asked to fill out an adoption application.
Once the application is completed, give us 48 hours to process it. This will give us time to call your references.
It is uncommon for us to approve same day adoptions, however, if you would like to expedite the process fill out the adoption application prior to your visit if possible.
Animal Care Sanctuary adopts to the first good match and does not place animals on hold.
Animal Care Sanctuary will adopt pets to families living outside of the Bradford County area if the adopter completes the adoption in person at Animal Care Sanctuary.
Animal Care Sanctuary encourages those who cannot travel to ACS to contact a nearby shelter or rescue to adopt a local pet who needs a home.
A Little Time Makes All the Difference.
Please plan on spending at least one hour for the adoption process.
We are confident that you'll agree that this small investment of time will be well worth the years of enjoyment that will result from finding the perfect match.
In our East Smithfield location, our canine care building is in need of remodeling.
Therefore, it isn't safe for the public to take a tour of our kennel.
Due to the current design of the kennel, it is also very stressful for our dogs when new people walk through.
This doesn't allow you to witness their amazing personalities.
When you visit the Adoption Office, you can view photos of our dogs and our canine care team will be happy to bring them to meet!
You can go for a walk or visit with them in our meet and greet room!

Vieux Farka Toure
Upscale menswear and accessories brand, Blackberrys, is bringing music lovers in India an unprecedented opportunity. This year its annual flagship event Sharp Nights is organizing a five-city World Music tour. The Bangalore edition of Masters Of World Music will feature celebrated Malian folk Fusion and Blues guitarist and singer Vieux Farka Toure, at High Ultra Lounge in Bengaluru on December 6th, 2014. With this first-of-its-kind world music tour, Blackberrys is also providing an opportunity to home grown talents. In Bengaluru, Shoonya will perform on the very same stage.
Aptly titled 'Blackberrys Sharp Nights – Masters Of World Music', the India tour will showcase two of the world's leading world music performers, promote local musical talent and institute a scholarship fund to help conserve traditional Indian music.
Commenting on this unique amalgamation of fashion and music and its efforts to accustom the Indian audiences with the genre of world music, Mr. Nikhil Mohan, Managing Director, Blackberrys said, "Sharp Nights has always been a much awaited event. This year we are delighted to introduce world music under the Masters of World Music series. Much like how fashion is intertwined with world cultures, world music too emanates from the remarkable diversity prevalent in the universe. It is here that audiences appreciate how music participates and connects to the world in ways unfamiliar to us."
Furthermore the concert will begin with a fashion auction which will showcase the Blackberrys AW '14 look – the proceeds of which will be used to nurture Indian traditional music schools, by providing scholarships for deserving students and funds for material support.
ABOUT Vieux Farka Toure
Vieux Farka Toure, often referred to as 'The Hendrix of the Sahara', is a Malian singer and guitarist and the son of the legendary Ali FarkaTouré, whose music was described by Peter Gabriel as 'the DNA of the Blues'. Vieux was invited to perform at the opening celebration of the 2010 FIFA World Cup along with other performers including Shakira & Alicia Keys. Vieux is known for his virtuosity with the guitar - his Blues riffs reminiscent of the genius of his father, and redolent with the culture of Mali.

Hotspot of the Day: Bahrain
John Hayward
Egypt is on the west side of Saudi Arabia, across the Red Sea. Yemen, which is looking pretty rough these days, is to the south. Jordan, where the pro-Western king has been trying to head off an uprising, is to the north. Now the island nation to the Saudi's east, Bahrain, is rocked by demonstrations, and a government that has long been closely allied to the Saudi monarchy is imperiled. I doubt anyone in the Saudi security apparatus is sleeping well at the moment.
The Kingdom of Bahrain is a small place. The population is less than a million souls, of which about 70% are Shiite Muslims… but the Sunni minority runs the country. Shiites complain of being kept out of the government, while the Sunnis accuse them of being in thrall to Iran.
Protesters are now working on their own scaled-down version of the Egyptian riots. According to an Associated Press report, they're digging in with tents and supplies in the main square of the capital city. (I wonder how many despots across the world are looking pensively down from the windows of their palaces and wondering if having a main square close to the seat of power is such a hot idea.) There have been clashes with security forces, and two deaths have been reported.
The king of Bahrain has gone on television to apologize for the fatalities and promise reforms. The protesters have not yet called for the elimination of the monarchy, although they would like to get rid of the current Prime Minister, who happens to be the King's uncle. They also want "the release of all political prisoners, more jobs and housing, an elected Cabinet." It sounds as if there might be room for the King to make a deal, although the AP notes that he generally prefers a good crackdown.
Besides its proximity and alliance to Saudi Arabia, two other factors give Bahrain great strategic significance: it's crucial for refining and shipping oil out of the Persian Gulf, and it's home to the United States Navy's 5th Fleet. Time magazine notes there are up to 30 Navy vessels docked there at any one time, along with a large Air Force base. These will be important bases if the Air Force should ever decide to fly over Iran for some reason or other.
Before we get another dose of ridiculous "we have always been on the right side of history" rhetoric from the Obama Administration, it should be noted they were completely "blindsided" by the Bahrain uprising, in the words of the Washington Post's Jackson Diehl. Just two months ago, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton pronounced herself "very impressed" by the "strong signal of progress" represented by their "free and fair elections."
Human rights organizations, and even the American ambassador to Bahrain, have been singing a different tune for a while, but Clinton blew them off and said she "sees the glass as half full." Of course, as with every other catastrophic mistake of this inept foreign policy team, she had no idea what it was half full of. CIA Director Leon Panetta is in for a big surprise when he flips on the news tonight and learns what is going on in Bahrain.

In today's tech-immersed era, IT Infrastructure and services have essentially become the core of any enterprise in supporting its day-to-day operations. However, businesses are still lagging in updating and managing their IT Infrastructure and Operations (I&O) to match the agility and the ever-increasing demands of the modern world. The following paragraph is a list of some key points that can assist enterprises in streamlining their services in the domain or enable organizations to make their IT infrastructure more capable and efficient.
The one that tops the list is a strong monitoring initiative. Fewer businesses emphasize strengthening I&O metrics which are highly essential in detailed performance reporting of their IT operations and services, risk management, and hence enhancement of business growth. Also, companies also need to pay attention towards the user experience of their services in combination with daily monitoring of their IT assets. The next is a correct plan of development of I&O. Companies need to focus exactly on the services they wish to provide and the costs that come in tandem. Accordingly, firms need to form the blueprint of the development of their IT assets to precisely meet the above needs and continue delivering greater business value. The final point that organizations need to follow is a split strategy after the plan. Instead of renovating everything, firms need to take a two-way approach. They could upgrade their core assets into the cloud for example and renovate their other assets to build a perfect balance such that their core operations aren't hampered and productivity increases at a rapid pace. To engage in efficient and productive renovation, the firms need to embrace automation technologies as much as possible, within their detailed plans and strategies.


This isn't an article about my pain, but it's an article about the pain so many of you carry on this day. God calls us to bear one another's burdens, and in my calling as a counselor and friend, I have heard your stories, and I hurt for you today. I wanted you to know that someone notices, sees, and acknowledges today's pain.
Today may be painful because you're grieving the father you never knew. The father you wish you had known, but whose absence leaves a hole in your heart and your life. A hole that you've tried to fill a thousand other ways.

DESCRIPTION FROM THE PUBLISHER: Nothing says Happy Birthday like summoning the spirits of your dead relatives.
OUR TWO CENTS: We're thrilled to kick off our new blogging year with a celebration of Labyrinth Lost, an action-packed, urban, portal fantasy with a powerful, complex Latina main character. This novel tackles family, friendship, love, survival, and self-acceptance all while Alejandra Mortiz and her friends Nova and Rishi fight for their lives in a dangerous underworld.
Alex, a 16-year-old Ecuadorian-Puerto Rican, has been fighting against her magical powers for years, feeling her growing abilities are more of a burden than a blessing. She believes her magic is responsible for her father's disappearance, and she fears more harm will come to herself and her family if she wholly embraces her magic during her Deathday ceremony. Alex, therefore, sabotages the ceremony, which causes her family to be kidnapped from their Brooklyn home to Los Lagos, where they may die at the hands of The Devourer, an evil, power-hungry bruja who's happy to destroy anyone who gets in her way. The first few chapters really establish Alex's character and her position in her family so that you understand and care about how conflicted and guilty she is about her family's disappearance. The stakes could not be higher, and you want Alex to succeed.
Alex's journey through Los Lagos feels very classic. The different communities she encounters, each with its own history and strengths and weaknesses, may remind readers of classic adventures like The Odyssey, Dante's Inferno, and Alice in Wonderland. Every new area of Los Lagos brings a ton of action. Not every writer can create battle scenes so the reader can clearly visualize them without having to re-read. Zoraida is GREAT at this.
For those who like some romance with their action-adventure story, Labyrinth Lost delivers there as well. Alex has feelings for both Nova and Rishi throughout the narrative, making her one of the few bisexual Latinas in young adult fiction. We especially love that neither Alex's bisexuality nor her bruja lifestyle are depicted as "issues" or morally problematic. Alex struggles to accept the responsibility and consequences of her magic and her place within her immediate family and the larger bruja community with its deep history and traditions. But, neither her cultural identities or sexual preferences are depicted as "the problems," thank the Deos.
Labyrinth Lost, the first in a series, ends in a way that will leave you hungry for the sequel with promises of further family complications and more development of secondary characters, Nova and Rishi. We can't wait!
include this novel in a study of the supernatural, and witches specifically, in literature, along with titles such as MacBeth.

Tell us the secret of your death.
The second time I saw my dead aunt Rosaria, she was dancing.
But I was seven and asked too many questions. Every Sunday, cars piled up in our driveway, down the street, and around the corner of our old, narrow house in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. Mom's Circle usually brought cellophane–wrapped dishes and jars of dirt and tubs of brackish water that made the Hudson River look clean. This time, they carried something more.
When my sisters started snoring, I threw off my covers and crept down the stairs. The floorboards were uneven and creaky, but I was good at not being seen. Fuzzy, yellow streetlight shone through our attic window and followed me down every flight until I reached the basement.
A soft hum made its way through the thin walls. I remember thinking I should listen to my mom's warning and go back upstairs. But our house had been restless all week, and Lula, Rose, and I were shoved into the attic, out of the way while the grown–ups prepared the funeral. I wanted out. I wanted to see.
The night was moonless and cold one week after the Witch's New Year, when Aunt Rosaria died of a sickness that made her skin yellow like hundred–year–old paper and her nails turn black as coal. We tried to make her beautiful again. My sisters and I spent all day weaving good luck charms from peonies, corn husks, and string—-one loop over, under, two loops over, under. Not even the morticians, the Magos de Muerte, could fix her once–lovely face.
Aunt Rosaria was dead. I was there when we mourned her. I was there when we buried her. Then, I watched my father and two others shoulder a dirty cloth bundle into the house, and I knew I couldn't stay in bed, no matter what my mother said.
So I opened the basement door.
Red light bathed the steep stairs. I leaned my head toward the light, toward the beating sound of drums and sharp plucks of fat, nylon guitar strings.
A soft mew followed by whiskers against my arm made my heart jump to the back of my rib cage. I bit my tongue to stop the scream. It was just my cat, Miluna. She stared at me with her white, glowing eyes and hissed a warning, as if telling me to turn back. But Aunt Rosaria was my godmother, my family, my friend. And I wanted to see her again.
"Sh!" I brushed the cat's head back.
Miluna nudged my leg, then ran away as the singing started.
I took my first step down, into the warm, red light. Raspy voices called out to our gods, the Deos, asking for blessings beyond the veil of our worlds. Their melody pulled me step by step until I was crouched at the bottom of the landing.
Brujas and brujos were dressed in mourning white, their faces painted in the aspects of the dead, white clay and black coal to trace the bones. They danced in two circles—-the outer ring going clockwise, the inner counterclockwise—hands clasped tight, voices vibrating to the pulsing drums.
And in the middle was Aunt Rosaria.
Her body jerked upward. Her black hair pooled in the air like she was suspended in water. There was still dirt on her skin. The white skirt we buried her in billowed around her slender legs. Black smoke slithered out of her open mouth. It weaved in and out of the circle—-one loop over, under, two loops over, under. It tugged Aunt Rosaria higher and higher, matching the rhythm of the canto.
Then, the black smoke perked up and changed its target. It could smell me. I tried to backpedal, but the tiles were slick, and I slid toward the circle. My head smacked the tiles. Pain splintered my skull, and a broken scream lodged in my throat.
The music stopped. Heavy, tired breaths filled the silence of the pulsing red dark. The enchantment was broken. Aunt Rosaria's reanimated corpse turned to me. Her body purged black smoke, lowering her back to the ground. Her ankles cracked where the bone was brittle, but still she took a step. Her dead eyes gaped at me. Her wrinkled mouth growled my name: Alejandra.
She took another step. Her ankle turned and broke at the joint, sending her flying forward. She landed on top of me. The rot of her skin filled my nose, and grave dirt fell into my eyes.
There was the scent of extinguished candles and melting wax. Decay and perfume oil smothered me until they pulled the body away.
My mother jerked me up by the ear, pulling me up two flights of stairs until I was back in my bed, the scream stuck in my throat like a stone.
I lay still. So still that after a while, she brushed my hair, thinking I had fallen asleep.
I wasn't. How could I ever sleep again? Blood and rot and smoke and whispers filled my head.
"One day you'll learn," she whispered.

accompaniment: orchestra
language: Hebrew (optional English)
text: Sabbath morning liturgy
year of composition: 1933
timing: 50 minutes
recordings: SONY SM2K47533
level of difficulty: challenging
description: It took Bloch four years to complete his Sacred Service (Avodat Ha-kodesh). Although it was commissioned to be based on the Sabbath morning liturgy, this grand work, with its universal themes, its post-romantic organic conception, scored for large orchestra, chorus, and baritone soloist, is more appropriate for the concert stage than for the synagogue bimah. Bloch himself considered it more a sacred Hebrew oratorio than a Jewish liturgical service.
title: Sa'enu (Carry Us to the Desert)
composer: folk (arranged by Charles Davidson)
publisher: Transcontinental
catalogue number: 990744
accompaniment: a cappella
language: Hebrew (English alternative text)
text: Alexander Penn
year of composition: 1965 (arrangement) (song c. 1927)
timing: 3:35
recordings:

description: This is a magical arrangement of a popular Israeli song. Generally the sopranos carry the melody, which is based on a Bedouin folk song, while the lower parts weave a bell-like accompaniment.
title: Samachti (I Was Glad)
composer: Charles Osborne
accompaniment: piano (or orchestra)
language: Hebrew
text: Psalm 122
year of composition: c. 1995
recordings: Jewish Composers in America
level of difficulty: easy to moderate
description: This lyrical setting of the Jerusalem pilgrims' Psalm is in strophic form, with the second strophe adding an ingratiating descant countermelody.
title: Sanctus
composer: Bernstein, Leonard
publisher: Boosey
catalogue number: G Schirmer 11973
voicing: SATB div
accompaniment: piano (optional bongos)
language: Hebrew, Latin, English
text: Isaiah 6, Psalm 118
recordings: Sony 63089
description: This excerpt from Bernstein's theatre piece, MASS, is a wonderful choice for an interfaith concert or service. It includes the "Sanctification" in English, Latin and Hebrew. Moderate difficulty. Full of joyous Bernstein rhythms.
title: Service Sacré
composer: Darius Milhaud
publisher: Salabert
catalogue number: EAS15270A
voicing: SATB div, baritone solo
accompaniment: orchestra (or organ or piano)
language: Hebrew (alternate French)
text: liturgy
timing: 56:00
recordings: Naxos
description: In this most charming setting of the Jewish Sabbath liturgy, Milhaud subconsciously evokes the synagogue melodies of his childhood. This work is not as through-composed as Bloch's more famous setting; various sections can be added or omitted.
title: Seven Sephardic Love Songs (Don Amadi, Esta Rakhel, Nani Nani, Durme, Por que Llorax, Di me Rozina, Morenica)
composer: Yehezkel Braun (arranged by Joshua Jacobson)
catalogue number: 982024, 982025, 982012, 982022, 982013, 982023, 982021
voicing: SATB, SAA, and TB (S solo)
accompaniment: piano
language: Ladino
text: folk
recordings: Sepharad 92 (HZ-903)
description: In 1981 Israeli composer Yehezkel Braun composed "Seven Sephardic Romances," a song cycle for soprano and piano. This work was based on love songs from the ancient traditions of Jews who lived in Spain prior to the sixteenth century. The Ladino language is a jargon combining elements of Castilian Spanish and Hebrew, with the former predominating. In 1990 Joshua Jacobson arranged the entire cycle for mixed chorus. Each number could be performed separately, or the conductor could create his/her own suite.
title: Sevivon (Hanukah Spinning Toy)
composer: folk (arranged by Steven Barnett)
voicing: satb (div)
year of composition: 1981 (arranged)
recordings: Lights
description: This traditional Ashkenazic folksong is about the "sevivon" or "dreydel," a children's spinning toy for Chanukah. Barnett's engaging setting utilizes snappy rhythms and jazz harmonies, but is not too difficult to learn.
title: Shavu'ot (Festival Commemorating the Revelation on Mount Sinai)
composer: Joshua Jacobson
publisher: Transcontinental Music Publications
voicing: SATB (divisi)
text: Exodus 20 and a hymn by the eleventh-century German Rabbi Meir Ben Yitzhak
recordings: Seasons of Our Joy (HZ-908)
level of difficulty: moderate, somewhat challenging
description: The holiday of Shavu'ot celebrates the first harvest of Spring and commemorates the giving of the Decalogue at Mt. Sinai. This composition is an attempt to convey some of the mystery surrounding the theophany, the revelation of the Lord's presence. The text of the Ten Commandments is preceded and followed by verses from an eleventh-century hymn that is chanted in the synagogue on Shavu'ot. Traditional Ashkenazic melodies for both texts have been utilized in this composition. The antiphonal effects of this piece work best if the choir abandons the stage and surrounds the audience on opposite sides of the hall. The aleatoric sections are meant to simulate a deep reverberation, as if the voices were being echoed in an extremely resonant chamber. This piece is most effective performed by a large choir performing in a reverberant venue.
title: Shedemati (My Field)
composer: Yedidyah Admon (arranged by Joshua Jacobson)
publisher: earthsongs
accompaniment: piano (four hands), tof (middle-eastern drum)
text: Yitzhak Shenhar
recordings: The Songs of Israel
description: A farmer expresses his love for his land in this song from the early Jewish pioneers to the land of Israel. The melodies and harmonies are exotically modal.
title: Shir Hashirim (Cantici Canticorum Caput III) (Song of Songs, Chapter 3)
composer: Yehezkel Braun
catalogue number: 992035-25
voicing: SATB, solo soprano
language: Hebrew (alternate English)
text: Song of Songs, chapter 3
recordings: The Songs Live On
description: Yehezkel Braun's fascination with chanting is evident in many of his compositions, including this one. Braun's textures are frequently woven of chant-like lines, soaked in colorful modalities and seeming to float above any sense of terrestrial meter. This six-movement work is a setting of the entire third chapter of the Biblical Song of Songs. It is a beautiful evocation of amorous dreams, the lively dancing of lovers, and the splendor of King Solomon's court.
title: Shir LaShalom (Song for Peace)
composer: Yair Rosenbloom (arranged by Joshua Jacobson)
voicing: SATB, solo alto or baritone
accompaniment: piano (optional drum set and bass)
text: Yaacov Rothblith
year of composition: 1969, arranged in 1993
description: An arrangement of the "Song for Peace" that was sung by Israeli prime minister Yizhak Rabin just before he was assassinated. It is part of medley, joined with "Al Kol Eileh," a song acknowledging that our life encompasses both the good times and the bad.
title: Silent Devotion and Response (from "Sacred Service")
composer: Ernest Bloch
catalogue number: BB 179
accompaniment: a cappella (optional prelude for organ)
text: Psalm 19:14
recordings: The entire Sacred Service can be heard on SONY SM2K47533.
description: This octavo is a brief excerpt from Bloch's magnum opus, "Sacred Service" ("Avodat Hakodesh"), one of the only truly great choral-orchestral settings of the Jewish liturgy. The brief prelude ("silent devotion") for keyboard (actually a reduction of the orchestration) may easily be omitted. This neo-romantic work gives the chorus the opportunity to show off its blend and its ability to phrase expressively. The tempo is slow, the mood is contemplative and the mode is Dorian.
title: Sim Shalom (Grant Peace)
composer: Max Janowski
voicing: SATB, T solo
accompaniment: organ or piano
description: Janowski had a rare gift for melody, and his melodies were modal, invoking the strains of traditional Eastern European synagogue music. The chorus must be able to sustain a long phrase and to sing comfortably in the upper range of their voices. A powerful and dramatic tenor soloist is called for.
title: Simona MiDimona (Simona from the Town of Dimona)
composer: Shlomo Weissfish (arranged by Joshua Jacobson)
accompaniment: piano, tof (middle-eastern drum)
text: Chaim Shalmoni
year of composition: c. 1960 (arranged in 1998)
description: A vivacious song from Israel, in which a young man expresses his ardent love for Simona, the dark beauty of the desert.
title: Song of Praise
composer: Robert Starer
publisher: MMB
catalogue number: MMB 89001
voicing: mostly unison (some two-part), any combination of voices
accompaniment: piano (or harp, violin and cello)
language: Hebrew and English
text: from Psalm 92
description: Robert Starer belongs to the generation of young Jewish musicians who fled Austria in the 1930s. After spending a decade in Jerusalem, Starer eventually settled in the United States. "Song of Praise" is one of Starer's many works in which he alternates Hebrew and English lyrics. The writing is basically tonal (or modal), but frequent and unexpected modulations are common. The voicing is flexible enough so that this piece works equally well with all-male, all-female or mixed choirs, large or small. This is the first of four choruses in the Psalm suite, Mizmor L'David.
title: Souls on Fire
publisher: ZC Music
voicing: SATB (SATB soli, narrators)
language: English and Hebrew
text: Aryeh Finkelstein
recordings: ZC Music 9001
description: Osborne's oratorio was inspired by Elie Wiesel's book of the same title, chronicling the lives of the Hassidic masters. The work is characterized by a remarkable variety of expression. But lurking beneath the surface is a reminder of the anguish of the Holocaust. Portions of this work (notably "Shalom Aleykhem") can be excerpted and performed with piano accompaniment.
title: Survivor from Warsaw, A
composer: Arnold Schoenberg
publisher: Boelke-Bomart
voicing: TB unison, narrator
accompaniment: large orchestra
language: English, German, Hebrew
text: Schoenberg & Deuteronomy 6
level of difficulty: difficult
description: A devastating setting of the composer's own text describing a round-up of Jewish prisoners in the Warsaw ghetto during the Second World War. The male chorus sings a twelve-tone row in unison at the end of this miniature oratorio.
title: Tefillah (Prayer for the State of Israel)
composer: Burger, David
text: liturgy, prayer for the State of Israel
description: Burger's music reflects his strongly emotion ties to the Jewish people. This prayer for peace in the State of Israel is lyrical, yet powerful. Not too difficult.
title: Tikun Chatsot (Midnight Vigil)
composer: Mordecai Seter
publisher: IMI
voicing: 3 choirs, tenor solo
text: Mordecai Tabib, based on traditional texts
recordings: Capriccio 10-368
description: A huge oratorio based on mystical visions that come to a worshipper who prays through the night. A synthesis of Yemenite Jewish melodies with Bartokian techniques.
title: Tikvateinu (Hatikvah Hanoshanah) (Our Ancient Hope)
composer: David Burger
text: N. H. Imber
recordings: The Songs Live On, Seasons of Our Joy
description: Burger's setting of Imber's 1878 poem should not be confused with the national anthem of the State of Israel. Although the lyrics are similar, Burger's music is original, in a captivating emotional style, influenced by the popular American folk revival of the 1960s.
title: Tov Lehodos (It Is Good to Give Thanks)
catalogue number: CR 43
voicing: SATB, baritone solo and SATB quartet
accompaniment: a cappella (optional organ)
text: Psalm 92
recordings: Majesty of Holiness
description: In 1828 Cantor Salomon Sulzer commissioned Schubert to compose a setting in Hebrew of the Sabbath Psalm for his renowned choir. The work, in ABA form, is in the style of the part songs of the early Romantic period.
title: Tsen Brider (Ten Brothers) (The Jewish Death Song)
composer: Martin Rosenberg (arranger: Joshua Jacobson)
language: Yiddish
text: Martin Rosenberg
recordings: Hear Our Voices (HZ-909)
description: Martin Rosenberg, a conductor and educator in pre-war Poland and Germany, was arrested by the Gestapo in 1939 and sent to the Sachsenhausen concentration camp where he was brutally tortured. As soon as he recovered, he organized and conducted a clandestine chorus of prisoners. When it became known that the Jewish prisoners of Sachsenhausen were to be transferred to the death camp at Auschwitz, Rosenberg composed this gruesome parody on an old Yiddish folksong called "Tsen Brider." In Rosenberg's version, which he called a "Jewish Requiem," the ten brothers are murdered, one after the other, in the gas chambers. This rearrangement of "Tsen Brider" for mixed chorus conveys the horror and irony of this Holocaust lament in a musical language that is simple and direct.
title: Uri Tsiyon (Arise, O Zion)
composer: Moshe Wilensky
text: Isaiah 52:1
description: One of the favorite themes of the "enlightened" Jews of the nineteenth century and the Zionist Jews of the early twentieth century was that of the Jewish people awakening from centuries of slumber to begin a new life. The words of the ancient prophet Isaiah ("Awake, O Zion! Clothe yourself in splendor… arise, shake off the dust, sit on your throne, Jerusalem!") were exceedingly relevant to this modern audience. Moshe Wilenski's setting of these lyrics captures the excitement of this renaissance. "Uri Tsiyon" is based on the Mixolydian mode and is replete with the syncopated rhythms of the horah dance. There is a great deal of variety in this little piece: homophony and polyphony, dynamic changes, modulations. A rousing way to end or begin a concert program.
title: Zol Shoyn Kumen Di Ge'uleh (May Our Redemption Come Soon)
composer: Abraham Cook (arranged by Joshua Jacobson)
catalogue number: 991435 (SA version is 993109)
voicing: SATB divisi (or SA) with solo (any voice)
text: Shmerke Kaczerginski
year of composition:
recordings: Hear Our Voices
description: Kaczerginski created this song as a vehicle to raise the morale of the Holocaust survivors he met in the DP camps after the Second World War. It has a wonderful refrain for audience participation.
title: Zol Zain Sholom (Let There Be Peace)
composer: folk (arranged by Joshua Jacobson)
publisher: World Music Press
catalogue number: 24 (24A for SA chorus)
voicing: SATB or SA, solo any voice
language: Yiddish (or English)
recordings: An Hour in the Garden of Eden, The Monster and the Nightingale
description: A joyous Yiddish call-and-response song from Eastern Europe

India earlier used to levy a 100% tariff on motorcycles larger than 800cc, but as of this month, the rates have dropped down to a flat 50%. But the duty on Indian motorbikes sold in the US is 0%.
US President Donald Trump on Monday called Prime Minister Narendra Modi a "fantastic" and "beautiful" man but ratcheted up the rhetoric on bilateral trade, saying he wasn't impressed by the recent cuts in tariff on Harley-Davidson motorbikes sold in India.
Trump was referring to a phone conversation he had had with Modi on February 8, in which they had discussed Maldives, Afghanistan and a whole range of bilateral issues, including trade.
According to reports, Harley-Davidson India has an annual sale of 3,700, but Trump's claims that Indian motorcycles sell by the "thousands and thousands" in the United States has been called an exaggeration — the US is not among major importers of Indian bikes.
Trump has publically litigated his case against tariff rates on Harley-Davidsons and his despite his glowing references to Modi, his tone has grown sharper, even as his administration presses India to lower tariff on other goods and remove non-tariff trade barriers.
"So they have a motorcycle or a motorbike that comes into our country -- the number is zero. We get zero. They get 100%, brought down to 75; brought down, now, to 50. Okay," Trump told his governors.
Trump and Modi share a good working relationship, according to officials on both sides, but the US leader is not known to pass up an opportunity to speak his mind. He also likes to quote Modi's remarks about Afghanistan — the Indian leader, visiting the White House last June, told him that "never has a country given so much away for so little in return" as the United States had in Afghanistan.

France's HRA Pharma lifts sales by a fifth in 2019
HRA Pharma recorded "considerable revenue growth" in 2019, says chief executive officer David Wright
12 March 2020 - Deborah Wilkes
Acquiring the Mederma skincare brand helped HRA Pharma increase its worldwide sales by 21% to EUR254 million (USD279 million) in 2019.
Excluding the impact of acquiring Mederma in June 2019, the French company's sales were up by 14% on an organic basis.
HRA Pharma highlighted a "strong performance" by its Compeed blister-care brand and 15% sales growth by its ellaOne (ulipristal acetate) emergency contraceptive.
The company said its Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA) had increased by 30% compared to 2018. The EBITDA margin was 29.6%.
Chief executive officer David Wright commented that HRA Pharma had recorded "considerable revenue growth" and a "consistently high EBITDA margin".
Wright added that the figures justified HRA Pharma's strategic decision to focus on building its category-leading brands and geographically expanding in key countries such as the US and China as well as key regions including the Middle East and Asia.
Stepping up Chinese presence
HRA Pharma recently announced that it was stepping up its presence in China through a new subsidiary in Shanghai and a joint venture with specialty healthcare company Profex (click here to read the News story).
The joint venture – called HRA Pharma China – will market, distribute and sell the French company's consumer healthcare products in China and Hong Kong.
HRA Pharma said the joint venture would focus on its Compeed blister-care brand and "other future high potential brands".
The news came soon after HRA Pharma announced it was expanding into the Middle East with Compeed (click here to read the News story).
HRA has also just expanded into South Africa with Compeed, with Brands2Africa as the distributor.
Ambitious growth strategy
Privately-held HRA Pharma wants to be "one of the fastest-growing global consumer healthcare companies". It aims to more than double in size by 2022 through a "combination of swift switching, new products, geographic expansion and smart acquisitions".
The company currently has a direct operational presence in 11 European countries and the US, with partnerships taking its products into more than 90 countries worldwide.
HRA Pharma announced in April 2019 that it was acquiring global rights to the Mederma skincare brand from Merz Pharmaceuticals for an undisclosed sum. The deal also included the Eldertonic and Nu-Iron vitamins, minerals and supplements (VMS) brands (click here to read the News story).
In July 2017, the company announced that it was acquiring global rights to Compeed from Johnson & Johnson for an undisclosed sum (click here to read the News story).

Hello, friends today we are going to discuss one of the most important aspects of any interview i.e. being confident in an interview. In today's world almost all companies hire people only after ensuring their suitability in a personal interview, in fact, a few educational institutes are also conducting interviews before granting admission.
In this article we want to share with you five tips that will help you to be more confident in your upcoming interviews and one of the most common things that we hear from you guys is that when you go into an interview room you feel extremely nervous, you're super intimidated, you feel as though there are multiple sets of eyes on you even if it's just one person and when questions are asked of you because you're nervous you either start rambling or you completely draw a blank, your mind shuts down and you just don't know what to say. So here are five things that you should keep in mind before going into an interview in order to maximize your confidence.
Remember Your Value:- the first thing is that is to remember your value that's because knowing your value is all part of having a strong personal brand. So ask yourself and remind yourself why did they invite you to this interview. In the first place it's because you have the right technical expertise and the experience or the potential to be able to help this organization in this particular position, when you can remember your value it really helps you to boost your confidence and if that doesn't help then ask yourself even other further questions such as what have I contributed to other organizations in the past what have I done to improve a situation in the past that I can contribute and repeat in this new opportunity. Think of all the positive things that you've done and that helps you to build a concept around your self-worth in your value for what you can do for them.
Power of Persuasion:- So let's move on to number two and that uses the power of persuasion, to be a truly ideal candidate for a new job opportunity or to get a promotion or to get a salary bump, in the corporate world you need to, first of all, know what it is that you want but more importantly know how to convince and persuade others to help you get it, now this has nothing to do with being or sleazy and slimy or bribing people to get you what you want it's about the power of persuasion and influence and being able to influence the person across the table from you that you are exactly what it is they need to hire and the basic building blocks of persuasion are context and timing. You would never approach that same hiring manager out in the middle of the grocery store and ask them to hire you on the spot you wouldn't try to convince them in that situation because it's the wrong context and the wrong timing, in the context of an interview hiring managers are wanting you to persuade them they're very persuadable so we would say it's the perfect environment for you to be able to influence and show off your ability to convince them that you're the right fit for them so overall don't forget to persuade them and to effectively persuade them.
Always have extra stories in your back pocket:- the worst situation is going into an interview unprepared and not having predicted the questions and answers to what you would be asked so it's important to have multiple examples and stories and accomplishments that you can leverage and pull out of your back pocket anytime that there is a new question being asked of you, so you don't want to use the same simple story because you're not going to get very far in the interview process. So I would say maybe bucket your answers according to the category, so it could be you have a story and example for your technical expertise you have another one that just demonstrates your leadership and you have another one that demonstrates your strong communication skills well however way you want to organize them make sure that you have at least three or four examples or stories that you can simply pull out of your back pocket whenever a new question is asked of you.
Visualize and Energize:- Visualizing means that for the days and nights leading up to the actual date of the interview you want to take some time out of your day even just for five minutes close your eyes and visualize your interview going well see yourself getting along with the interviewer being able to seamlessly answer their interview questions and developing a really strong rapport with them you see them nodding you see them wanting to get to know you even more really engaged and you see yourself going even over the interview time which is always a good sign then that was allotted for you. Athletes do this all the time before a big game they do this so that they can see themselves winning and it creates this sense of belief that it's going to happen and what that does is it creates with energy and momentum for you that you are going to do well so when you have that spirit and energy and momentum going for you really there should be nothing holding you back sometimes it's a straightforward and just giving direct eye contact leaning in when they lean in mimicking their body language and just giving that sense that you're genuinely actively listening to what they have to say and that you're really engaged in the conversation and you truly just want to get to know them.

An Evening Meal at Jailbird, Birmingham
One of the latest restaurants to hit Birmingham City Centre is Jailbird, a brand new seafood and steak restaurant which has replaced American diner Nosh and Quaff. I'd only heard about the place when Paul Fulford dropped an email into my inbox inviting me along to try out the new menu during a midweek dinner.
A step up from previous Nosh and Quaff food options, Jailbird characterises a New York vibe and prides itself on an easy-to-read menu. Boasting an array of risotto, crab, lamb and vegetarian dishes for starters, to follow, main courses allow complete indulgence in hearty steak and lobster, alongside various other fish courses. The showstopper Butcher & Monger Platter (£59) combines the best steak and lobster portions and throws them onto a sharing board. I didn't try this but it sounds incredible and more than enough for 2-3 people.
The restaurant upstairs where we dined is spacious, and has a great view overlooking the 'floozie in the jacuzzi' in Victoria Square. Encapsulating an industrial feel of wooden tables and flooring, artwork of the 'Big Apple' and New York skyline, hanging lights and brick walls; it proudly reflects the New York's Upper East Side. The downstairs section showcases a classy cocktail area with marble walls. I'm not entirely sure if the marble fits in with the overall vision of the restaurant, but this won't put you off the food at any rate.
Starters and drinks at Jailbird
Paul Fulford did the honours of ordering a bottle of Shiraz to the table. Simon from MeatandoneVeg asked beforehand if I'd prefer red or wine. To guzzle down alongside the wine, Simon and I both ordered cocktails which were deliciously sweet. For the first course, I was swayed by the Soft Shell Crab (£10.95) that was served in a sea salt and cayenne crispy batter. On the side was a a wedge of lemon and asparagus salad. It was a minimal dish, but tasted fantastic. The crunch of light batter against the tender crab was a winning combination. I'm a lover of fried foods anyway, so this slid down extremely well. I admire the dish as it wasn't over-complicated and showcased the dish for what it was, a perfect portion of crab meat. It was a pricey starter compared to some of the other options, but I'd certainly order it again. Simon and Paul ordered the 'Scallops n Bacon'(£9.90) and Black Risotto with Black Garlic (£5.95) which can be served as mains.
Main Meals at Jailbird
With quite a few dishes to choose from, I was first tempted by the 28 Oz Delmonico Steak (£29.50) renowned as a 'large hunk of meat famed for its special texture and deep flavour'. I was soon told this steak is actually HUGE so I didn't think I would finish it. My next best option was the 16 Oz Flat Iron (£26) described as a 'juicy cut of meat full of flavour, texture and love'. Served alongside thick seasoned hand-cut chips, the steak is served medium rare. When it arrived, I stared at my plate for a good few minutes because the steak looked AWESOME. It was also cooked to perfection. It cut like butter and the juicy tenderness of the meat made my mouth water, even whilst eating it. It had crispy onions on top too. A truly winning main meal paired well with a deep red wine, it's not one I'll be forgetting in a hurry.
What I liked most about my steak was that there was no 'fluff'. It was served on its own with a side plate of chips. There was no unnecessary salad or sauce. In my opinion, if you do need to ask for sauce alongside your steak, it probably means it's going to be dry. My Flat Iron Steak however was delightful. Perfectly seasoned and as promised, a juicy piece of meat, I would order this again without hesitation. The portion was a bit too big for me to eat still, so I asked to take the remainder home. We spotted a few people asking to take their meals home too which suggests the portions might be too big. Nevertheless, it was an extra treat for me the next day. I also managed to grab a few snaps of Simon and Paul's grub too – they went for the Flat Iron Chicken (£13.50) which is a half cut, mothered in a fresh lemon, garlic and herb gremolata dressing. The other was the black risotto as a main course. Simon ordered the Flat Iron potato as a side.
With full bellies, we skipped dessert. My overall thought of the food is that it's certainly a step up from the previous N&Q food, and the steak is truly delicious. I liked the calm ambiance of dining upstairs and tables are set out quite far apart from there's no snooting on other people's food. There's no doubt Jailbird is pitching more to the higher end of the food market and had a stylish, relaxed setting. I hope this place does well because the food is really good. I'd like to go back on a weekend to see how busy it can actually be. Jailbird also do a two course lunch for £12.95.
Open Monday – Saturday: 11am to 11pm / Sunday from 11am to 10pm.
Located on Colmore Row, Birmingham B3 2BS
Please note, I was invited to Jailbird as a guest of Paul Fulford. Food and drinks were comped in return for honest feedback. As ever, all opinions are my own.

Q: Problems extending a 12V power lead to an RGB-LED strip I need advise on the following problem: I am connecting a 5 metres WS2812B based RGB-LED strip to an extension cord. This is a 12V version, where two LEDs are coupled in terms of their addressing and IC. There are 100 addresses and 200 LEDs. I am generating the control signal from a Raspberry Pi.

*

*I connect the ground of the Pi's GPIO and the ground of the external 12V power supply (a strong 150W laptop power adaptor)

*I connect GPIO 18 out (3.3V) to the DI of the LED strip

*I connect the 12V to the LED strip

*This works
Now I want to insert an extension between power supply and Pi on one end, and the LED strip on the other end. I bought a 3x 0.75mm 20 metres cable for that. (Here is the product description in German if you are curious).

*

*I inserted two wires between the 12V power supply and the GND/12V pins of the LED strip

*I inserted the third wire between GPIO out and the strip's Digital In.

*This doesn't work
Simply powering the strip seems fine; all LEDs go on. If I run the modulating program on the Pi, the first three or four LEDs are erratically flickering, that's it. Now I tried all sorts of combinations to figure out what is going on. For example,

*

*I inserted a LLC to lift the digital output signal from 3.3V to 5V. Makes no difference. Does not work.

*I extended only the power but connected the digital signal directly without extension. Makes no difference. Does not work.

*I extended only the digital connection, leaving the power supply directly connected to the strip. This works.

This result was very surprising to me. I kind of feel relieved that I won't have trouble extending the digital signal, but now I'm baffled why the power extension apparently doesn't work. Using a volt metre, I saw that over the 20 m, the voltage drops from 12V to 9V. However, compensating by setting a higher voltage at the adapter, e.g. 15 to 18V to measure around 12V on the other end, did not change the situation.
My question is: What is the reason for this problem, and what should I do to properly extend the power connection by 20 metres? Is this simply a fault of the diametre, or am I looking at the wrong type of cable? Because even a standard 240V euro cable only has 0.75mm diametre. (In German this type of cable is called H03VV-F). The cable needs to work in outside space.

A: The voltage drop over 20 meters of cable will vary based on the load, which you will no doubt be varying based on the number and color of leds you turn on. The change in voltage will cause issues with the led controllers. Use a local regulator, or capacitors, or both. Or use standard AC extensions and keep the power supply local to the strip.
The diameter of the cable will affect it, because a smaller diameter wire has a higher resistance and a higher resistance means a bigger voltage drop as the current increases.

A: Just as a follow-up: Before ordering new cable, I tried a hackish solution with putting together 2 and 2 wires of a 1.5mm speaker cable at 27m. This just works, you can see occasional flicker in a few LEDs, but all addressing is correct. The voltage at the beginning of the strip is like 11.3V. So that confirms that the diametre of the cable was probably the problem, and I will now go for 2.5mm H07RN-F cable connected to both ends of the strip, and hopefully that preserves the current "just working" situation.

McCrum tries to avoid eminent domain, offers to build a trail and lease it to Belfast
BDN file | BDN
A "no trespassing" sign marks the southern terminus of the Belfast Rail Trail by the Penobscot McCrum potato processing plant. City officials would like to get an easement to connect the 2.3-mile Rail Trail with the Belfast Harbor Walk.
Jay McCrum, president of the family-owned potato processing plant Penobscot McCrum, appeals to Belfast City Councilors June 10 to access the new rail trail by going around his building, not right next to it as officials prefer to do.
By Abigail Curtis, BDN Staff • August 4, 2016 2:56 pm
BELFAST, Maine — In an apparent 11th-hour change of heart, the owner of Penobscot McCrum is offering to build a trail through the company's waterfront property and lease it to the city.
If it goes through, the move would negate the city's controversial proposal to seize by eminent domain an easement through the McCrum property in order to connect a new 2.3-mile rail trail on one side with the Belfast Harbor Walk and downtown on the other.
"We just offered to build a rail trail on our property and lease it to the town," Jay McCrum, owner of Penobscot McCrum, said Wednesday night after meeting in a fairly lengthy executive session with the Belfast City Council. "We had a great discussion."
After coming out of executive session for their regular meeting, the councilors tabled the night's first new business agenda item, which was to consider an order for the taking of a public recreational easement across the land owned by the potato-processing company.
Later that night, Belfast city attorney Kristin Collins said that the council has authorized City Manager Joe Slocum and the attorneys to talk to McCrum and see if there is a "feasible way" to accomplish his proposal. City officials have been trying for years to negotiate with owner Jay McCrum to find a way to cross the 700-foot-long strip of land and connect the rail trail with the harbor walk.
This spring, city officials told McCrum that it was a matter of public necessity to get the easement and that Belfast would pay "full and fair value" for it, Slocum said. The city offered him $55,000 for a 14-foot-wide easement across the property, based on an independent appraisal. When they hadn't heard a response by early June, the council voted unanimously to use eminent domain to take a recreation easement to cross the property.
At that point, management of McCrum asked the city to consider rerouting the trail onto a steep hillside behind the potato processing plant, saying that it was unsafe to have pedestrians and bicyclists cross the property. But the city objected, saying that the "goat path" alternative was impractical and expensive.
Now, time is of the essence, Collins said Wednesday, because the city is eager to officially open the gravel pedestrian and bicycle trail that runs from the intersection of City Point and Kaler roads toward downtown Belfast.
"It would have to be pretty quick," the attorney said, referring to the city coming to an agreement with Penobscot McCrum. "It would be great to come to terms in a negotiated agreement. It's fair to say that we don't have any terms laid out at this point. It's something to be discussed, and we're going to try earnestly to come to an agreement."
Belfast City Councilor Mike Hurley said Thursday that the council is glad to talk to McCrum about the trail, which ideally would be done as soon as possible.
"It's certainly what we wanted all along," he said, adding that the specifics and the timeline still need to be worked out. "The devil is always in the details, and people are working on that right now."


Crossing the channel to Anacapa Island, one begins to understand why the island's name was derived from its Chumash Native American Indian name Anypakh. Seeming to change shape in the summer fog or afternoon heat, the three islets of Anacapa look like an island of deception or a mirage. Almost five miles long, these islets (appropriately named East, Middle, and West Anacapa Islands) are inaccessible from each other except by boat. They have a total land area of about one square mile (700 acres). Waves have eroded the volcanic island, creating towering sea cliffs, sea caves, and natural bridges, such as forty-foot-high Arch Rock-a symbol of Anacapa and Channel Islands National Park.
Exploring East Anacapa's two-mile trail system allows visitors to experience the island's native vegetation, wildlife, and cultural history. Although for much of the year the island vegetation looks brown and lifeless, the winter rains transform the landscape. Emerging from dormancy, the native plants come alive with color. The strange tree sunflower, or coreopsis, blossoms with bright yellow bouquets that are so vivid and numerous they can sometimes be seen from the mainland. Vibrant red paintbrush, island morning glory, and pale buckwheat add touches of color to the island's palette.
Seabirds are probably the most conspicuous wildlife on Anacapa Island. Thousands of birds use Anacapa as a nesting area because of the relative lack of predators on the island. While the steep cliffs of West Anacapa are home to the largest breeding colony of endangered California brown pelicans, all the islets of Anacapa host the largest breeding colony of western gulls in the world. Western gulls begin their nesting efforts at the end of April, sometimes making their shallow nests just inches from island trails. Fluffy chicks hatch in May and June and fly away from the nest in July.
The rocky shores of Anacapa are perfect resting and breeding areas for California sea lions and harbor seals. The raucous barking of sea lions can be heard from most areas of the island. Two overlooks (Cathedral Cove and Pinniped Point) provide excellent spots to look down on seals and sea lions in the island coves.
Anacapa's rich kelp forests (ideal for kayaking, snorkeling, and diving) and tidepool areas provide visitors with the opportunity to meet some of the resident ocean animals up close. Visitors may also catch a glimpse of the fascinating undersea world of the kelp forest without getting wet. During the spring and summer, park rangers dive into the Landing Cove on East Anacapa with a video camera. Visitors can see, through the eye of the camera, what the diver is seeing-bright sea stars, spiny sea urchins, and brilliant orange Garibaldi-by watching video monitors located on the dock, in the mainland visitor center auditorium, in classrooms, or via the Internet. And, divers can answer questions from visitors as part of this distance learning program.
Anacapa Island has a rich human history as well. Shell midden sites indicate where Chumash people camped on the islands thousands of years ago. In addition, visitors can view the 1932 light station whose mission revival style buildings include the lighthouse, fog signal building, one of four original keeper's quarters, a water tank building, and several other service buildings. The original lead-crystal Fresnel lens, which served as a beacon to ships until an automated light replaced it in 1990, is on exhibit in the East Anacapa Visitor Center.

Really great little marina in a picturesque setting. The marina office is only open until 10pm so arriving after this, which we did, it seems to be just find a space and sort it out in the morning. Staff very helpful and I could have spent several more days here with no problem. The visitors pontoon did get busy and we got a big cat rafted up next to us for half a day. About €25 a night for Gee N Tee. Visitors pontoon is marked. Entrance is generally fairly easy but we arrived at night and were tired and initially couldn't figure out the entrance as there was a white light on the port side of the entrance.

If you are a museum-lover, like so many are that come to Barcelona, then you consider the following tips before you make your way throughout the city. This will help to alleviate the stress that often comes along with being a tourist in a place you may not know so much about at first.
If you are unable to access your iPhone or Android maps in your phone due to the lack of international service, then you will definitely want to get a map of the city as one of the first things you do. They can be found at several of the tourist information offices and desks in the airport and throughout the city as well. Some standard maps may be free while the very detailed and lengthy maps may cost up to a few euros.
INVEST IN A MUSEUM PASS!
Check out the pages of both the Articket and the Arqueo Ticket that will allow for you to skip the lines at some of the best museums throughout the city. Not only that, they will save you a TON of money that you would have spent otherwise visiting each of the 10 museums that they allow for you to get into.
One of the worst things that can happen when setting out on a much anticipated day of fun touring and visiting the many museums is arriving at one or all of them just to find out it is closed! To avoid that, be sure to head to each one of the official websites to find out opening and closing times as well as certain dates where holidays may allow it to close all day.
Although it is so easy to rush through each museum due to the amount of limited time you have in the city, it is much better to simply take in all of that splendor and interesting aspects that each one is able to offer. So, take your time to explore, wander and discover all of the treasures that are available in all 55 museums throughout the beautiful city of Barcelona.
