  • Abstract:  It is a common belief that we are experts in the processing of famous faces. Although our ability to quickly and accurately recognise pictures of famous faces is quite impressive, we might not really process famous faces as faces per se, but as 'icons' or famous still pictures of famous faces. This assumption was tested in two parallel experiments employing a recognition task on famous, but personally unfamiliar, and on personally familiar faces. Both tests included (a) original, 'iconic' pictures, (b) slightly modified versions of familiar pictures, and (c) rather unfamiliar pictures of familiar persons. Participants (n = 70 + 70) indeed recognised original pictures of famous and personally familiar people very accurately, while performing poorly in recognising slightly modified, as well as unfamiliar versions of famous, but not personally familiar persons. These results indicate that the successful processing of famous faces may depend on icons imbued in society but not on the face as such.

          The Art of Doodles by John Rosica.wmv About John Rosica: For more than four decades John Rosica has been creating Doodle Art. Created during the years when he was an executive in the music industry and later as founder of his Public Relations agency. Rosica's Doodles were drawn during business meetings and while relaxing utilizing pen and paper. From 1955 t0 1976 he was an executive at RCA, Paramount and A&M Records in New York and Los Angeles. Rosica considers this time a well paid training ground for his second career - as founder of Rosica Public Relations in 1980. John recommended that its first client, Wally Amos, adopt adult illiteracy as his corporate cause and worked closely with Wally and Literacy Volunteers of America, Inc. in positioning the issue to become the national well-known cause it is today. Rosica PR is credited for making Wally Amos "famous." According to Snack Food Magazine, "To say that the Famous Amos campaign worked would be an understatement. What it turned out to be is one of the most successful public relations/marketing campaigns in the history of the food business." John was recognized by Literacy Volunteers of America with the coveted Chairman's Award for Distinguished Service. He also served on President Lyndon Johnson's High School Dropout Task Force; inaugurated a public relations program for the Eye Bank of New York City that began a nationwide marketing effort; pioneered the Marine Corps Toys for Tots Campaign; served on the board of Literacy Volunteers of America and <b>...</b> From: TheArtofDoodles Views: 0 0 ratings Time: 03:07 More in Nonprofits & Activism
        • Interview with Engelbert Humperdinck (UK)
          Interview with Engelbert Humperdinck (UK) Powered by www.eurovision.tv Engelbert Humperdinck has been a big name in the international music industry for over forty-five years, with over 150 million records sold worldwide. His remarkable voice and extraordinary talent has endeared him to millions of fans around the globe. Engelbert Humperdinck has four Grammy nominations, a Golden Globe for Entertainer of the Year, 63 gold and 24 platinum records and as one of only a handful of artists with a star on both the Hollywood Walk of Fame and the Las Vegas Walk of Fame. Humperdinck still has a loyal global fanbase, and in the past 12 months alone he has performed all over Europe including United Kingdom, Russia, Romania, The Netherlands, Belgium & Israel. Engelbert Humperdinck was born Arnold George Dorsey, one of ten siblings. His father served in the British military, and his mother was an opera singer and taught the violin. They all lived in Leicester and Humperdinck still has strong ties with the city, and was awarded freedom of the City in 2009. After a life-threatening and career damaging bout of Tuberculosis at the start of his career, the young Gerry Dorsey, as he became known, realised that he needed a big comeback and he changed his name to Engelbert Humperdinck. It was just outrageous enough to be memorable and it would take a man with a secure self image and a sense of humour to pull it off. During his heyday in the late '60s and early '70s, Humperdinck cultivated the image of a mysterious heartthrob <b>...</b> From: eurovision Views: 3 0 ratings Time: 06:14 More in Entertainment

          Josh Homme In A Scissor Sisters Infomercial From The '70s Twitter: twitter.com Web: The Rad Report Hey there. I'm Eddie DaRoza, and here's your Daily Detour. Remember Billy Mays? The infomercial dude who sold OxyClean at an unbelievable rate, and then suddenly died of a heart attack from doing too much cocaine? Well he was a pretty good infomercial host. Hard to beat. Unless you're Joshua Homme of Queens of the Stone Age. Here's Josh pitching the latest Sissor Sisters album. Ah I don't know. No Billy Mays. I had a couple bucks to blow yesterday so I decided to check out Kickstarter and see if I could find something cool. I found this strange contraction called the Makey Makey. It's a device that turns anything, into, well, anything. You just hook stuff up to your computer and the world turns into your keypad. Want to write a song using bananas? It's doable. How about play Mario Brothers with play do. Yep, go for it. And finally today, you know that Radiohead song Creep? The one the band is really famous for? Well, I'm not sure if they actually wrote it. Here's Bob Dylan singing it. Oh wait, that's an impersonator. Oops. Ok that's all for me. I'm outta here. Have a nice day. Later. From: RadReport Views: 0 0 ratings Time: 02:44 More in Entertainment

          Home On The Range RARE EARLY VERSION ; IT'S DIFFERENT 1932 2012_05_24_17_45_39.wmv You should Google this song, because it has a slightly complicated history. This piano roll is from 1932, and credited to Robison, who might be Willard Robison or a relative. This was the original version of one of the most famous tunes ever. It was later recorded by Bing Crosby and Gene Autry, and the versions they sing are so familiar, that if anybody played this original version, a lot of well-meaning people will try to correct the "mistakes" Does anyone know who did the changes?
