Historical Re-creation, he thought glumly, as they picked their way across, under, over or through the boulders and insect-buzzing heaps of splintered timber, with streamlets running everywhere. Only we do it with people dressing up and running around with blunt weapons, and people selling hot dogs, and the girls all miserable because they can only dress up as wenches, wenching being the only job available to women in the olden days.

Eating a Paleolithic diet is not about historical re-enactment; it is about mimicking the effect of such a diet on the metabolism with foods available at the supermarket. There was no one diet eaten throughout the entire Paleolithic, nor is there a single diet eaten by contemporary hunter-gatherers. Hunter-gatherer diets can vary substantially depending on the geography, season, and culture. Even so, the commonalities among hunter-gatherer diets provide useful parameters for a healthy modern diet.

Artistic license, also known poetic license, narrative license, and licentiate poetical, is a colloquial term (employed occasionally as a euphemism), which denotes a license to distort the facts, alter the conventions of grammar or language, or reword pre-existing text by an artist in the name of art. Liberal usage of an artistic license to restructure basic facts can result because of conscious or unconscious acts. Artistic embellishment or misrepresentation of the facts and distortion or alteration of the compositional text frequently is the by-product of both intentional and unintentional additions and omissions. An artistic license, employed at an artistโ€™s discretion to fill in details or gloss over factual and historical gaps, raises some ethical issues. Many stories retold verbatim would bore an audience or require inordinate time and resources to reenact, describe, and view. A dramatic license eliminates mundane details and tedious facts, spruces up the picturesque background, and glamorizes the charactersโ€™ temperament and action scenes. Is it wrong to be inventive with the facts? What degree of embroidery of a series of events and the charactersโ€™ mannerisms and attributes is acceptable? How can anyone paste together a set of facts into an interesting or compelling narrative that has literary value without engaging in some creative organization to enhance the theatrical retelling and to create juxtaposition of ideas and values?

Testament prophet.39 However, what was this prophet doing? Why was he encouraging Israelites to be baptized in the Jordan River? The answer to these questions comes from Johnโ€™s actions as well as from his words concerning his ministry. First, John appeared โ€œbaptizing in the wilderness and preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. Then all the land of Judea, and those from Jerusalem, went out to him and were all baptized by him in the Jordan Riverโ€ (Mark 1:4โ€“5). There are two issues that merit attention: the significance of the Jordan River and the repentance of sins. The geographical location of Johnโ€™s baptismal ministry is key. John could have chosen a number of places to perform his baptizing ministry, but he chose the Jordan, which was the gate to the Promised Land and the place where Israel re-enacted the Red Sea crossing. When the feet of the Levites touched the waters of the Jordan, the waters stopped flowing and the Israelites crossed the river on dry ground (Josh. 3:11โ€“17). Just as the Holy Spirit in the glory cloud led Israel through the Red Sea, the ark of the Lord led Israel through the Jordan on dry ground to the Land of Promise. The connection between the two events is manifest in the word play in both narratives. The priests, for example, stood on dry ground (ื‘ื—ืจื‘ื”) (Josh. 3:17), just as Moses turned the sea into dry land (ืœื—ืจื‘ื”) (Ex. 14:21).40 Likewise, the waters of the Jordan โ€œstood still, and rose in a heapโ€ (ืงืžื• ื ื“ ืื—ื“) (Josh. 3:16), just as the waters of the Red Sea โ€œstood upright like a heapโ€ (ื ืฆื‘ื• ื›ืžื• ื ื“) (Ex. 15:8; cf. Ps. 78:13).41 Given these parallels between the Red Sea and Jordan River crossings, it seems that Johnโ€™s activity in the Jordan was connected not only to the idea of a cleansing ritual, but also to the redemptive-historical significance of the Jordan. The connections between the Red Sea, the Jordan River, and Johnโ€™s

Christ re-enacts in the outward historical world what is being enacted at all times in the inner world of the soul. In man the Spirit becomes the ego in order that the ego may become pure Spirit; the Spirit becomes ego by incarnating in the mind in the form of intellection, of truth, and the ego becomes the Spirit through uniting with it.

The human omnivore has, in addition to his senses and memory, the incalculable advantage of a culture, which stores the experience and accumulated wisdom of countless human tasters before him. I don't need to experiment with the mushroom now called, rather helpfully, the "death cap," and it is common knowledge that that first intrepid lobster eater was on to something very good. Our culture codifies the rules of wise eating in an elaborate structure of taboos, rituals, recipes, manners, and culinary traditions that keep us from having to reenact the omnivore's dilemma at every meal. One way to think about America's national eating disorder is as the return, with an almost atavistic vengeance, of the omnivore's dilemma. The cornucopia of the American supermarket has thrown us back on a bewildering food landscape where we once again have to worry that some of those tasty-looking morsels might kill us. (Perhaps not as quickly as a poisonous mushroom, but just as surely.) Certainly the extraordinary abundance of food in America complicates the whole problem of choice. At the same time, many of the tools with which people historically managed the omnivore's dilemma have lost their sharpness hereโ€”or simply failed. As a relatively new nation drawn from many different immigrant populations, each with its own culture of food, Americans have never had a single, strong, stable culinary tradition to guide us. The lack of a steadying culture of food leaves us especially vulnerable to the blandishments of the food scientist and the marketer, for whom the omnivore's dilemma is not so much a dilemma as an opportunity. It is very much in the interest of the food industry to exacerbate our anxieties about what to eat, the better to then assuage them with new products.

I am passionate about bringing history to life for students. I share my knowledge of many branches of history including Medieval, local rural, American Revolution, Pioneer, and Vikings. I also enjoy teaching traditional/period dancing. I teach students about the past by re-enacting historical characters as a guest presenter at Ontario schools and also through Video Conferencing technology internationally.

I couldnโ€™t shake the feeling that I was watching the spiritual equivalent of a Civil War reenactment. In their fervent attempt to make historical events more realistic, these passion plays underscored the sense that the saving acts of Christ were just that: historical events.

President Coolidge delighted in seeing himself in newsreels. Because he did not reach the game lodge until after dusk, the next morning he had the whole presidential partyโ€”now grown to some two hundred people with the addition of local officials and support staffโ€”reload every bag and suitcase into cars, drive two hundred yards down the road, and reenact the presidential arrival as the cameras recorded the fictitiously historic moment. For the state of South Dakota, the presidentโ€™s presence was a very big deal. The state desperately wanted to be perceived as an attractive destination for tourists. The thought occurred to someone that if the president was seen to be enjoying himself fishing in South Dakotaโ€™s sparkling waters, then other anglers might be tempted to travel there as well. To make sure the exercise was a success, two thousand full-grown trout were sent from the state trout hatchery at Spearfish. These troutโ€”all large, sluggish, and hand-fed from birthโ€”were secretly confined to a placid stretch of stream outside the Coolidge residence by submerged nets strung strategically between the banks. To his hostsโ€™ dismay Coolidge declared that he had no interest in fishing. Eventually he was persuaded to give it a try. Dressed in a business suit, he dipped a baited rod in the water. Instantly the starving fish erupted in a silvery frenzy around the hook, and a moment later Coolidge lifted a wriggling prize from the water. He beamed from ear to ear and could barely be coaxed away from the stream after that. He and Mrs. Coolidge dined proudly on his caught trout daily even though they were, by all accounts, almost inedible. Coolidge didnโ€™t like dealing with worms, however, and had his Secret Service men bait his fish hook for him. Apart from the worms, he was immensely happy.

A + C of the perpetual fright... that they were reenacting what was predestined and named for their own historical failure, that their bodies not their own, but the work of a sleeping populous... wanting to awake to a familiar hypnotic alarm, of their own creation... for the strain it was, charging head-first into uncommon acts of lunacy, to draw up situations, perform freely with limited education, up to the sadness in the sky...
