The Porthcawl Elvis festival is the biggest of its kind in Europe and every year brings in thousands of tourists dressed as Elvis Presley.
Amelia Earhart was already an accomplished pilot when she met George Putnam, having accumulated over 500 hours of solo flight time. He interviewed her for a transatlantic flight on which she was a passenger, four years before her famous 1932 solo flight across the Atlantic. George was a famous New York publicist and explorer, and the two had many interests in common. They hiked, camped, rode horses, and played golf and tennis together.
George had to propose to Amelia six times before she accepted. After a good deal of hesitation, Amelia and George were married in early 1931. Amelia wrote of their relationship, “[o]urs is a reasonable and contented partnership; my husband with his solo jobs, and I with mine; but the system of dual control works satisfactorily and our work and our play is a great deal together.”
Amelia continued her aviation career after marriage under her maiden name, and George organized her appearances and publicity to fund her flights. She promoted flight luggage and sports clothes, and George published two of her books, The Fun of It and Last Flight.
Amelia disappeared during an around-the-world flight in 1937. While flying on one of the final segments of her globe-spanning journey, radio controllers lost contact with Amelia's plane. She was low on fuel, flying low and searching for a place to land in the Pacific ocean, midway between Hawaii and Australia. Despite an extensive and expensive naval search, no evidence of Amelia or her plane was found. Two years later, George had her declared dead and published her biography, Soaring Wings.
So, the new version of iPhoto has some sort of facial recognition feature. When you first install it, it scans your library for faces.
And by faces, it means *everything*. This face (Queen Elizabeth II) is from a picture I took of the New Zealand $20 dollar bill.
Lauren Bacal and Humphrey Bogart met on the set of "To Have and Have Not" (1944). Upon meeting her, Bogie told Lauren, “I saw your test. We're going to have a lot of fun together.”
And they did. Although separated by 26 years, the electricity between them was obvious, and Lauren's hard work ethic matched Humphrey's experienced confidence. Making light of her age, Humphrey nicknamed Lauren 'Baby,' a name he continued to call her by for years. Humphrey was unhappily married when they met and could only meet Lauren discreetly, exchanging passionate love letters while they were apart. Their attraction to each other grew almost imperceptibly, as they worked together onstage. But the more they worked together, the more their on-set romance became authentic.
Their relationship started, by Lauren's account, when she was in her dressing room with Humphrey. He leaned over, put his hand under her chin, and kissed her. Pulling a matchbook from his pocket, he then asked for her number.
After a long and tumultuous break-up, Humphrey divorced his wife in 1945. Bacal waited for Bogey during his attempts to save his marriage--her patience was rewarded. They were married in the spring of 1945. They had a happy marriage and two children, Stephen and Leslie. They remained together until Bogey's death in 1957.
Buried with him is a small gold whistle, which Bogart had given to Bacall, before they married. In reference to their first movie together, it was inscribed: "If you want anything, just whistle."
In order to check in at the Chinese hotel, guests were required to scan face after copying page first page of passport.
Elizabeth injured her spine in 1821 as a result of a fall and seemingly became a permanent invalid. She spent the majority of her days pent up in her room writing poetry. In 1844, Robert Browning wrote to Elizabeth admiring her poems. They continued to correspond and in 1845 they were engaged.
Although Elizabeth's father didn't approve of the engagement she decided to wed Robert. The couple ran away to Italy where her health improved slightly. She spent the remainder of her days in their villa, Casa Guidi. After she passed away in 1861 her son and husband returned to England.
Bonnie and Clyde first met briefly in early 1930 and were immediately smitten by each other. When Clyde got out of jail in 1932, Bonnie joined his gang and became his partner in crime. She remained his loyal companion during the rest of their two-year crime spree.
Preferring to rob small groceries and gas-stations, Bonnie and Clyde's national bank-robbing notoriety developed out of playful photographs the couple had taken at a hideout, one of Bonnie posing with a cigar and revolver. The good-looking couple were small-time thieves until those photographs were published, catapulting them into the public spotlight as raucous criminal superstars.
The couple was killed by police in 1934. A posse of six officers had been tracking Bonnie and Clyde's movements and set up an ambush along a rural road in Louisiana. As the outlaw couple stopped to talk to a man planted by the police along the side of the road, the posse opened fire, killing Bonnie and Clyde.
Over 20,000 people attended Bonnie's funeral. Bonnie and Clyde were some of the first celebrity criminals of the modern era: their romantic notoriety spawned countless detective stories, several Hollywood movies, many songs and a few stage plays. Bonnie and Clyde, a 1967 film featuring Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway, won two Academy Awards and reignited interest in the duo. A 2011 film revisiting the couple's crime spree is in the works.
I've been fooling around with the facial recognition feature in iPhoto 3, which can sometimes produce amusing results.
Czar Nicholas II and Alexandra were married in April 1894. Nicolas II insisted that they change the date of their nuptials, moving them up one full year, since he relied so heavily on Alexandra for her support and opinions. They lived a lavish life of luxury as the last rulers of the Romanov dynasty until their downfall.The entire family, the Czar, Czarina, four daughters and one son were executed in July 1918.

Pierre and Marie met in Paris, France in 1894 at the School of Physics, where Pierre held a job as a Professor. They fell in love quickly, just one year later they were married.
The couple shared a passion for physics and spent a majority of their time together conducting research and pursuing work in the laboratory. Their days spent researching were under very difficult conditions but their work paid off. Together they were awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903, for their study into the spontaneous radiation discovered by Becquerel.
After Pierre tragically passed away in 1906, Marie took his place as Professor of General Physics in the Faculty of Sciences. She continued to pursue each of the dreams they had spent years working on together.
Coretta and Martin Luther King Jr. seemed destined for each other. As a college music student in Ohio, Coretta experienced a great deal of discrimination by the local school board. She became politically active in the beginnings of the civil rights movement, and met Martin when she transferred to the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston.
Martin was a promising theology student at the time and was introduced to Coretta through a friend in 1952. Martin was impressed by her musical ability, as well as her passion for civil rights. On their first date, Martin said, “[s]o you can do something else besides sing? You've got a good mind also. You have everything I ever wanted in a woman. We ought to get married someday.”
And they did, in June 1953 on the law of Coretta's mother's house in Marion, Alabama. The ceremony was performed by Martin's father, Martin Luther King Sr.. After Coretta completed her degree in voice and piano the couple moved to Montgomery, Alabama where they were swept up in the civil rights movement.
Martin soon became the recognizable face of the movement, and Coretta quickly was in demand as a speaker and march leader. However their bright future was overshadowed by violence and hate when their family home was unsuccessfully bombed by white supremacists in 1956. Coretta and Martin had four children, all of whom eventually became involved in civil rights.
Martin was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee on April 4, 1968. President Johnson declared a national day of mourning as 300,000 people attended his funeral. Coretta decided to take the helm of the civil rights movement shortly afterwards, and expanded its focus to include LGBT and women's rights. She died in early 2006 and was eventually interred next to her husband. Four U.S. Presidents went to her funeral.
Janet and Isaac met in 1973 several months after Isaac separated from his first wife. They were married shortly after.
The couple shared the same interest in science fiction and even collaborated on a number of books together. They spent almost 20 years together before Isaac passed away in 1992.
An example of how the auto photo tagger works. All similar faces are grouped and a suggestion made based on probability of the face matching existing photos with known names.

"Devorah Sperber uses hundreds, sometimes thousands, of thread spools as her medium and bases her works on the most recognizable images from the past, icons of art such as Grant Wood’s American Gothic and Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa"
www.arkellmuseum.org/pdfs/press_thenow.pdf
It hangs upside down and you view it through an optical device. (read below)
Description: a life-sized rendering of Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa. The work is constructed from only 425 spools of thread resulting in extremely low image resolution. Yet when seen with an optical device, the thread spools condense into a blurred yet recognizable image, conveying how little information the brain needs to make sense of visual imagery.
This concept was explored by self-described "Cyberneticist," Leon Harmon of Bell Labs in 1973. His early pixilated image was included in an article for Scientific American in November 1973, titled "The Recognition of Faces" as a demonstration of the minimum conditions needed to recognize a face.

Trying out the new Google Images search-with-an-image feature. I pulled out a random John Edwards thumbnail from the ProPublica homepage. He apparently shares many facial characteristics with Asian women.

Juan Perón was an Argentine military officer and politician three times elected as president but only served one full term. Juan was part of the 1943 military coup and served his first term as president from 1946-1952. His state goals were social justice and economic independence for Argentina. Despite serious economic troubles such as stagflation, Juan's government is remembered for its significant infrastructure and social investments.
He and his second wife, Eva, met in early 1944 during a charity event in Buenos Aires while Juan was still a Colonel. After their wedding two years later and Juan's election to the presidency, Eva played a prominent role as a labor rights advocate and philanthropist. She ran the Ministries of Labor and Health and established the Eva Perón Foundation in 1948, which had a $50 million endowment (nearly 1% of Argentina's GDP at the time). She exerted significant influence over and provided great popular support for her husband's policies.
Juan and Eva remained strongly devoted to helping the working and lower classes of Argentina. Eva died of cancer in 1952. At the news of the nation's spiritual leader's death all activity in Argentina stopped, the government suspended all activity for two days, and popular grief was unprecedented; eight people died and over 2000 injured in crushing mobs trying to get near her body as it was being moved. Juan was overthrown in a 1955 military coup and was exiled to Venezuela, then moved to Spain. He returned to Argentina in 1973 and died in 1974.
