Born in the provincial town of Subic-Zambales, Philippines, Charmaine Clamor started singing at age 3, entertaining passengers in buses traveling to Manila -- whether they liked it or not! Raised in a home filled with beautiful music -- with a mother singing kundiman, the traditional Filipino torch song; with Ella Fitzgerald on the radio; with Mario Lanza records on the turntable -- Clamor [pronounced clah-MORE] was simultaneously immersed in two different but complementary musical cultures. She loved Filipino music and American music equally. And she fantasized of one day blending her dual passions. When she was 16, Clamor's family immigrated to the United States. Despite learning English as a second language -- Charmaine's first tongue is Tagalog, the national language of the Philippines -- Clamor was the valedictorian of her high school class, in Los Angeles. She subsequently earned a Master's degree in physical therapy. But music -- the music of her youth and of her adopted home -- has been her life's calling.
On her new CD, Flippin' Out (September 1, 2007), the first Filipina to find success on American jazz radio realizes her lifelong dream of synthesizing American jazz, blues, and soul with traditional Filipino folk music, instantly creating a new hybrid genre she calls "jazzipino."
Her groundbreaking album opens with "My Funny Brown Pinay," a startling re-invention of the familiar Rodgers & Hart tune, "My Funny Valentine." Combining English and Tagalog lyrics, Clamor transforms a classic love song into an anthem of native pride. Brought up in a culture that often vainly attempts to emulate its colonial conquerers, Clamor fiercely celebrates her Indio brown skin and flat-nose, inspiring anyone who has ever struggled to find her place in the world.
One well-known L.A. jazz writer jokingly described Clamor as "Sarah Vaughan trapped in the body of a supermodel." Her timeless performance of "I Hadn't Anyone 'til You" is Clamor's way of assuring her jazz fans that the straight-ahead torch-singer they adore isn't going anywhere. She's just momentarily Flippin' Out. Backed by the renowned trio of Christian Jacob, Trey Henry and Ray Brinker (three members of the Grammy-nominated Tierney Sutton Band), Clamor recalls a 1930's chanteuse lost in memories of love.
Throughout Flippin' Out, Clamor proudly features Filipino guest musicians. On "Candy," which swings as hard as Barry Bonds going for the fences, the New York-based alto sax virtuoso, Julius Tolentino (Sharp Nine), lends his blazing, bop-influenced style.
Clamor began her American singing career as a "KJ" -- a karaoke hostess! Pop music is in her blood. But U2 never imagined a version of their hit song "With or Without You" made quite so lonely, quite so haunting.
To remind listeners that even nice Filipina girls can sing the blues -- and sing 'em raunchy! -- Clamor takes on the naughty Nina Simone song "Sugar in My Bowl." Charmaine claims that a living legend, her friend and mentor Linda "the Kid" Hopkins, taught her how to perform a "dirty song" properly, because it's not a skill one naturally learns in the Philippines.
The centerpiece of Flippin' Out is the Filipino Suite, five tracks sung entirely in Tagalog or Bisayan, melding the traditional American jazz trio sound with indigenous Filipino music. The Filipino Suite features the kulintang, a percussion ensemble of tribal drums and gongs that have been played in Clamor's birth country for more than 1,000 years, and the ukulele, played by the Hawaiian master Abe Lagrimas, Jr. Clamor includes a harana, a song performed as part of traditional Filipino courtship, a Filipino lullaby (with Filipino guitarist and Naxos recording artist Ric Ickard), and several kundiman, the Filipino version of an American torch song. Late in 2006, when Clamor headlined the 2nd Annual Filipino-American Jazz Festival, in Hollywood, she witnessed countless non-Filipino music lovers moved to tears by her version of the Philippines' most beloved song, "Dahil Sa' Yo." It was then that Clamor became convinced her music could cut across geographical and cultural divides. She was truly performing "world" music.
Charmaine Clamor's official CD release concerts for Flippin' Out are in Hollywood, California, at Catalina Bar & Grill, on September 1, and at New York City's Iridium, on September 12th. She follows these engagements with appearances in Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., San Francisco, Seattle, and San Diego.

iPhone 8: debutto avverrà in ritardo, ottobre è il mese giusto! Clamoroso quanto emerso online nelle ultime ore
Stando a quanto rivelato inaspettatamente nelle ultime ore dal popolare analista chiamato Gene Munster, il nuovo e tanto atteso iPhone di ottava generazione sarà ufficialmente reso...

Dramatically situated at a height of over 1,000m (3,275 ft), Segovia is a provincial capital lying in the autonomous region of Castilla y León and about 90km north-west of Madrid. Although its population is only 57,000, Segovia is of immense cultural importance; reflecting its rich and diverse history dating back more than 2,000 years when, according to legend, the city was founded by the Eyptian, Hercules, great-grandchild of Noah. For anyone visiting Segovia, there are three "must-see" destinations starting, inevitably, with the city's most famous and emblematic monument, the 'Acueducto de Segovia'. Located to one side of the much-visited 'Plaza del Azoguejo', the aqueduct is the defining historical feature of the city, dating from the late 1st or early 2nd century. Acknowledged as the most important Roman civil engineering work in Spain, it consists of about 25,000 granite blocks held together without any mortar, and spans 818 meters with more than 170 arches, the highest being 29 meters high. A truly monumental feat of engineering acknowledged in 1985 when Segovia and its Aqueduct were given 'World Heritage' status by UNESCO. Then there's the 'Alcázar de Segovia', the royal palace located on top of a rock between the rivers Eresma and Clamores and documented for the first time in 1122, although it's likely that it existed in earlier times. It was one of the favorite residences of the kings of Castile, built during the transition from Romanesque to Gothic and Mudéjar decor, highlighted by its amply proportioned rooms. The building is structured around two courtyards with two large towers, the 'Keep' and 'John II'. The Alcázar was a favorite residence of 'Alfonso X the Wise' and Henry IV. 'Isabella the Catholic' was crowned Queen of Castile in the palace's main square. Devastated by fire in 1862, it was later rebuilt and now houses the 'General Militar de Segovia' archive and the Museum of the Royal School of Artillery. The views of the neighbouring countryside and other parts of the city from within the palace walls are splendid whilst the most dramatic view looking up to the Alcázar itself can be found from the 'Parque de El Alcazar'. The third member of this monumental triumverate is the 'Catedral de Segovia', the last Gothic cathedral built in Spain and generally considered to be a true masterpiece of Basque-Castilian Gothic architecture. Commonly known as 'The Lady of Cathedrals', it is arguably the third largest cathedral that the city has known and and retains the cloister of the second largest, originally located opposite the castle before being destroyed in 1520 during the 'Revolt of the Comuneros'. The cathedral was consecrated in 1768 and has dimensions of 105 metres long, 50 metres wide and 33 metres high at the nave. Further, it has 18 side chapels and three imposing doors; 'El Perdón', 'San Frutos' and 'San Geroteo', named after the first bishop of the diocese. Away from these wonderful stuctures there's plenty more to see in the city, including the city walls, the 'Iglesia de San Esteban', the quite stunning 'iglesia de la Vera Cruz' which dates back to the 12th century and stands proudly on a bare patch of ground just north of the 'Alcázar'. There's the 'Monasterio de Santa María del Parral', many important civil buildings and a large number of parks to wander around which provide some peace and quiet as well as shelter and shade from the sun, which during the summer months can get very hot indeed. Finally, it should not be forgotten that Segovia lays claim to being the real home of one of Spain's delicacies, 'cochinillo' or roast suckling pig. Truly delicious! There are plenty more photos of Segovia and other Spanish towns/locations if you take a look at my 'Albums' page, www.flickr.com/photos/36623892@N00/sets/ - thank you.

El mar es un olvido
«[...]Es como un ruiseñor,
y sus aguas son plumas,
impulsos que levantan
a las frías estrellas.[...]»
Jorge Guillén (1893-1984)
Imagine being in a city where a huge mountain range spans the entire southern edge. The majestic peaks are beautiful year round but come winter, people clamor to take a 15-minute taxi or bus from the center of Almaty to the south to partake in the best skiing and snowboarding facilities Kazakhstan has to offer.
Shymbulak is located in the upper part of the Medeu Valley in the Zaiilisky Ala-Tau mountain range. The resort area is about 25 km south of Almaty city up the major road, Dostyk. It is popular for its mild climate, large quantity of sunny days and great amount of snow through the winter (from November till April).
To get to the ski center, you first arrive at Medeu - one of the world's largest public skating arenas. After paying for the gondola and lift ticket for the day (or half day), enter one of the modern gondolas and travel 4.6 kilometers up the mountain. The gondola was manufactured in Austria and is the third largest lift in the world. The scenery is majestic as you travel the short ride to Shymbulak.
Marrone Rosso, Assorti, Pappa Roti, and the Saray Bar in the hotel offer the perfect dining and drinking solutions for a bit of après-ski. Even non-skiers enjoy sitting out in the sunshine enjoying spiced wine, or a hot coffee, while surfing the Internet.
The Snow School has 70 ski and snowboard instructors. They offer private and group lessons to all levels and all ages. Quality skis, snowboards and boots can be hired within the resort. Lockers are available too. There is also night skiing on a regular basis with DJs providing extra entertainment.
The prices, compared to a day of skiing in Europe or the USA, makes Shymbulak a bargain.
In the warmer months Shymbulak offers hiking, horseback riding, mountain climbing and trekking, the gondola operates year round. Restaurants remain open and the base camp makes a lovely place for sunning.
Additionally, a new rope course has opened on the mountain. Great fun anytime of the year, it claims to be the highest such structure (at 2,250 meters above sea level) in the world.

Early April 2015. Dramatically situated at a height of over 1,000m (3,275 ft), Segovia is a provincial capital lying in the autonomous region of Castilla y León and about 90km north-west of Madrid. Although its population is only 57,000, Segovia is of immense cultural importance; reflecting its rich and diverse history dating back more than 2,000 years when, according to legend, the city was founded by the Eyptian, Hercules, great-grandchild of Noah. For anyone visiting Segovia, there are three "must-see" destinations starting, inevitably, with the city's most famous and emblematic monument, the 'Acueducto de Segovia'. Located to one side of the much-visited 'Plaza del Azoguejo', the aqueduct is the defining historical feature of the city, dating from the late 1st or early 2nd century. Acknowledged as the most important Roman civil engineering work in Spain, it consists of about 25,000 granite blocks held together without any mortar, and spans 818 meters with more than 170 arches, the highest being 29 meters high. A truly monumental feat of engineering acknowledged in 1985 when Segovia and its Aqueduct were given 'World Heritage' status by UNESCO. Then there's the 'Alcázar de Segovia', the royal palace located on top of a rock between the rivers Eresma and Clamores and documented for the first time in 1122, although it's likely that it existed in earlier times. It was one of the favorite residences of the kings of Castile, built during the transition from Romanesque to Gothic and Mudéjar decor, highlighted by its amply proportioned rooms. The building is structured around two courtyards with two large towers, the 'Keep' and 'John II'. The Alcázar was a favorite residence of 'Alfonso X the Wise' and Henry IV. 'Isabella the Catholic' was crowned Queen of Castile in the palace's main square. Devastated by fire in 1862, it was later rebuilt and now houses the 'General Militar de Segovia' archive and the Museum of the Royal School of Artillery. The views of the neighbouring countryside and other parts of the city from within the palace walls are splendid whilst the most dramatic view looking up to the Alcázar itself can be found from the 'Parque de El Alcazar'. The third member of this monumental triumverate is the 'Catedral de Segovia', the last Gothic cathedral built in Spain and generally considered to be a true masterpiece of Basque-Castilian Gothic architecture. Commonly known as 'The Lady of Cathedrals', it is arguably the third largest cathedral that the city has known and and retains the cloister of the second largest, originally located opposite the castle before being destroyed in 1520 during the 'Revolt of the Comuneros'. The cathedral was consecrated in 1768 and has dimensions of 105 metres long, 50 metres wide and 33 metres high at the nave. Further, it has 18 side chapels and three imposing doors; 'El Perdón', 'San Frutos' and 'San Geroteo', named after the first bishop of the diocese. Away from these wonderful structures there's plenty more to see in the city, including the city walls, the 'Iglesia de San Esteban', the quite stunning 'Iglesia de la Vera Cruz' which dates back to the 12th century and stands proudly on a bare patch of ground just north of the 'Alcázar'. There's the 'Monasterio de Santa María del Parral', many important civil buildings and a large number of parks to wander around which provide some peace and quiet as well as shelter and shade from the sun, which during the summer months can get very hot indeed. Finally, it should not be forgotten that Segovia lays claim to being the real home of one of Spain's delicacies, 'cochinillo' or roast suckling pig. Truly delicious!

Marcos Lima
O amor é um sentimento
Divino e perfeito
Digno menino que alimenta a vida
Um vergel florido contemplando
Um lindo pôr-do-sol
A pedra cintilante o cristal bonito
A luz da liberdade o meigo sorriso
Não supera o amor que eu sinto
No coração
O vermelho incandescente

E reluz a poesia e enternece no calor
Feito a noite e o luar
A brisa e o alvor do sol
O meu amor por ti é verdadeiro
E não vai acabar, meu boi
Meu boi Garantido

Meu amor é fraterno por te amar
Sonho que alimenta a poesia
Na minha canção
O sol irá trazer o mar vermelho
De alegria pra sonhar
Meu primeiro amor

Liberta do meu peito, o meu cantar
Duna de algodão
Ostenta livre o nobre coração
E faz brotar o dom do amor maior
O Boi do Povão sempre será

HISTORIA
La situación del Alcázar de Segovia, sobre una roca labrada por los ríos Eresma y Clamores, indica el origen militar de esta fortaleza durante siglos inexpugnable.
El testimonio más antiguo de la existencia del Alcázar de Segovia es un documento de principios del siglo XII, fechado en 1122, poco después de la reconquista de la ciudad por Alfonso VI, que menciona la fortaleza como un castro sobre el Eresma. En una carta algo posterior (1155) ya se le da el nombre de Alcázar. No obstante, es muy probable que la fortificación existiese en tiempos más remotos, quizá desde la dominación romana, pues en recientes excavaciones se ha encontrado sillares de granito análogos a los del Acueducto. En la Edad Media, el Alcázar, tanto por la belleza de su situación y su indiscutible seguridad militar, como por la proximidad a famosos cazaderos en los bosques serranos, se convirtió en una de las residencias favoritas de los Reyes de Castilla.
No se han encontrado vestigios arquitectónicos notables de este Palacio Real anteriores a la época de Alfonso VIII "el de Las Navas", aproximadamente a finales del siglo XII y principios del siglo XIII. Sin embargo, lo cierto es que se consolida el proceso que de forma progresiva va convirtiendo la fortaleza en residencia cortesana. La reforma se hizo cuando se iniciaba la transición del románico al gótico, con la sobriedad elegante del estilo del Císter. Sin duda pertenece a este tiempo la gran grujía del lado norte, compuesta por una gran estancia, flanqueada en los extremos por gabinetes, al estilo oriental, llamada "sala del Palacio Mayor". Al mismo impulso constructivo, que constituye el núcleo del Alcázar, corresponde la gran torre del poniente, llamada "Del Homenaje", con su estancia cubierta de cañón apuntado, que sirvió de sala de armas, y sus ventanales germinados. A pesar del tono cisterciense de estas construcciones, lo morisco aparece en la decoración pictórica, con zócalos de lacerías pintadas de rojo sobre el fondo claro del estuco.
Alfonso X El Sabio demostró hacia Segovia una extrema predilección e hizo del Alcázar una de sus residencias favoritas, hasta los últimos años de su vida, en los que celebró Cortes en esta ciudad que le había permanecido fiel.
En el siglo XIV, Segovia fue testigo de combates entre bandos nobiliarios a los que no fue ajeno el Alcázar, obligando el nuevo empleo de la artillería a reforzar sus murallas y ampliar su sistema defensivo.
Los reyes de la dinastía de Trastámara aprovecharon la nueva crujía, construida paralelamente a la primitiva, para convertirla en un suntuoso conjunto de salones al estilo de los alcázares andaluces. La decoración gótico- mudéjar de estas salas se inicia con la reina Catalina de Lancaster, regente de su hijo Juan II. Durante el reinado de este último tuvieron lugar en el Alcázar las grandes fiestas cortesanas evocadas por Jorge Manrique en sus célebres "Coplas".
Enrique IV, tan amante de Segovia, continuó embelleciéndolo y en su reinado debió terminarse la gran torre que lleva el nombre de su padre. Fue el Alcázar fortaleza clave para el dominio de Castilla y de él salió Isabel la Católica para ser proclamada reina en la Plaza Mayor. También tuvo importancia este castillo en las luchas civiles de todas las épocas sucesivas, desde el reinado de Juana la Loca y la Guerra de las comunidades hasta la Guerra de Sucesión en el siglo XVIII y las guerras Carlista en el XIX.
Los reyes de la Casa de Austria lo visitaron frecuentemente y Felipe II celebró en él la boda de velaciones con su cuarta esposa, Ana de Austria. Este rey realizó importantes obras en el Alcázar, como el patio herreriano o cubrir las techumbres con agudos chapiteles de pizarra al estilo de los castillos centroeuropeos.
Más tarde comienza a utilizarse la fortaleza como prisión de Estado, donde estuvieron confinados importantes personajes. Así permaneció hasta que en 1762 Carlos III fundó en Segovia el Real Colegio de Artillería, cuyo primer Director fue el conde Félix Gazola, quedando instalado en el Alcázar en 1764. Este centro permaneció aquí, con leves paréntesis hasta el 6 de mazo de 1862, día en el que un incendio destruyó las techumbres. A partir de esta fecha el Colegio, luego la Academia de Artillería, pasó al Convento de San Francisco de Segovia, El Alcázar fue restaurado, en 1898 se instaló en la primera plante del edificio el Archivo General Militar y en 1953 se creó el Patronato del Alcázar de Segovia, responsable del actual Museo.

HISTORY
The situation of the Alcazar of Segovia, on a rock carved by rivers and Clamores Eresma indicates the military origin of this impregnable fortress for centuries.
The earliest evidence of the existence of the Alcazar of Segovia is a document of the early twelfth century, dated in 1122, shortly after the conquest of the city by Alfonso VI, which mentions the fortress as a fort on Eresma. In a letter somewhat later (1155) and is given the name of Alcazar. However, it is likely that the fortification existed in ancient times, perhaps since Roman times, as in recent excavations found granite blocks similar to the Aqueduct. In the Middle Ages, the Alcazar, both for the beauty of its situation and its indisputable military security, such as proximity to famous hunting grounds in the mountain forests, became one of the favorite residences of the kings of Castile.
No notable architectural vestiges of this former royal palace at the time of Alfonso VIII "the Las Navas," about the late twelfth and early thirteenth century. However, the truth is that consolidates the process is becoming progressively strength courtly residence. The reform was initiated when the transition from Romanesque to Gothic, with elegant sobriety Cistercian style. No doubt this time belongs to the great grujía north side, consisting of a large room, flanked at the ends by cabinets, oriental style, called "Mayor of the Palace hall." At the same constructive impulse, which is the core of the Alcázar, account for the great western tower, called "The Tribute", by staying tracked gun deck, which was the armory, and its windows sprouts. Cistercian Despite the tone of these constructs, Moorish appears in the pictorial decoration with sockets lacerías painted red on light background stucco.
Alfonso X El Sabio showed extreme predilection toward Segovia's Alcazar and became one of his favorite residences, until the last years of his life, in which Cortes held in this city which had remained faithful.
In the fourteenth century, Segovia witnessed fighting between factions of nobility to which the Alcazar was no stranger, again forcing the use of artillery to strengthen its walls and expand its defense system.
The kings of the dynasty of Castile took the new bay, built parallel to the primitive, to turn it into a sumptuous set of rooms in the style of the Andalusian palaces. The Gothic-Mudejar decoration of these rooms opens with Queen Catherine of Lancaster, regent for her son John II. During the reign of the latter took place in the great feasts Alcázar evoked by Jorge Manrique courtesans in his famous "Verses".
Henry IV, as a lover of Segovia, embellishing and continued his reign had completed the great tower that bears the name of his father. Alcazar fortress was the key to the mastery of Castile and Isabella the Catholic left him to be proclaimed queen in the Plaza Mayor. Also of significance, this castle in the civil strife of all successive epochs, from the reign of Mad Love and War communities until the War of Succession in the eighteenth century and the Carlist wars in the nineteenth.
The kings of the House of Austria and visited him often held at the Philip II's wedding revelations with his fourth wife, Anne of Austria. This king made major works in the Palace, as the patio cover herreriano or roofs with sharp slate spiers style of Central European castles.
Later the fort began to be used as a state prison, where inmates were important people. So in 1762 he remained until Carlos III founded in Segovia the Royal School of Artillery, whose first director was Count Felix Gazola, being installed in the Palace in 1764. The center remained here, with slight parentheses mallet until 6, 1862, the day on which a fire destroyed the roofs. From this date the College, then the Artillery Academy, went to the Convent of San Francisco de Segovia, El Alcázar was restored in 1898 was installed in the first plant of the General Military Archives building and in 1953 created the Board of Alcazar of Segovia, responsible for the present Museum.
