  • Plimoth Plantation: A living Museum of  a 17th Century English Colony in America<br />
<br />
In the early 17th century a group of separatists, who came to be known as the Pilgrim Fathers, fled the volatile political environment in England and came to North America in order to seek religious separation from the Church of England. They settled at a place, which today is the modern town of Plymouth, in Massachusetts, United States. The colony, established in 1620, is one of earliest successful colonies to be founded by the English and the oldest continuously inhabited English settlement in what was to become the United States of America. Today, Plymouth holds a special role in American history, and many of the people and events surrounding Plymouth Colony have become part of American folklore, including the North American tradition of Thanksgiving. The original settlement of Plymouth Colony is recreated in a faux village called Plimoth Plantation, where actors reenact events and the day-to-day life of the 17th century English colonists.<br />
Plimoth Plantation, located 2.5 miles south of the original 17th century English village, brings colonial Plymouth vividly to life. Here, you will find modest timber-framed houses furnished with reproductions of the types of objects that the Pilgrims owned, aromatic kitchen gardens, animals pens, storehouses, fields and fortification. Role-playing townsfolk in costumes portray actual residents of Plymouth Colony, who are eager to give visitors a piece of history. They have adopted the names, viewpoints and life histories of the people who lived and worked in the Colony in 1627, and each has a unique story to tell. You can ask them about their religious beliefs, education and child rearing, gardens, cooking, or any topic of interest to you. It’s like travelling back in time and conversing directly with the Pilgrims.<br />

The colony, established in 1620, is one of earliest successful colonies to be founded by the English and the oldest continuously inhabited English settlement in what was to become the United States of America. Today, Plymouth holds a special role in American history, and many of the people and events surrounding Plymouth Colony have become part of American folklore, including the North American tradition of Thanksgiving. The original settlement of Plymouth Colony is recreated in a faux village called Plimoth Plantation, where actors reenact events and the day-to-day life of the 17th century English colonists.<br />
Plimoth Plantation, located 2.5 miles south of the original 17th century English village, brings colonial Plymouth vividly to life. Here, you will find modest timber-framed houses furnished with reproductions of the types of objects that the Pilgrims owned, aromatic kitchen gardens, animals pens, storehouses, fields and fortification. Role-playing townsfolk in costumes portray actual residents of Plymouth Colony, who are eager to give visitors a piece of history. They have adopted the names, viewpoints and life histories of the people who lived and worked in the Colony in 1627, and each has a unique story to tell. You can ask them about their religious beliefs, education and child rearing, gardens, cooking, or any topic of interest to you. It’s like travelling back in time and conversing directly with the Pilgrims.<br />

Nelson Mandela's 'Freedom Torch'—used in historic ceremony up for auction<br />
<br />
RR Auction is proud to announce that Nelson Mandela's 'Freedom Torch,' used during a historic ceremony to symbolize the end of Apartheid, will be featured in an upcoming live auction event that is scheduled to take place in Boston in September.<br />
<br />
On February 11, 1990, Nelson Mandela walked out of Victor Verster Prison after spending nearly three decades in detention under the South African apartheid regime—a pivotal moment in the history of the nation and the world. This marked the beginning of the end for a racist oppression embedded in culture and codified in law, with Mandela embodying the spirit of the peace, democracy, and freedom that would take its place. In 1994, South Africa held its first fully representative democratic national election—now open to all races—which would see Mandela elected as the country's first black president.<br />
<br />
<br />
While on the campaign trail on February 3, 1994, Mandela returned to Victor Verster Prison to reenact his liberation, lighting a 'flame of freedom'—using the torch— that has only recently surfaced, to honor those who suffered to end apartheid. Mandela gathered with others who had been held as political prisoners and he was presented this torch at the prison gate, then lighted the symbolic flame, freed some doves, and placed a wreath on the razor wire hedge erected at the prison entrance. He then rode past adoring crowds to a rally at the soccer stadium in Paarl.<br />
<br />
<br />
“It was such an apocalyptic moment seeing Mandela holding up that flame of freedom. I knew then, on top of all deep reflections in a lonely prison cell had revealed to me, that in my personal capacity I had a solemn responsibility to go on carrying that flame of freedom for as long as I lived— others too would have felt the same,” says Mosiuoa Lekota, a South African politician who currently serves as the Presi

Mall employees reenact WWII executions of Japanese soldiers to promote sales<br />
<br />
A shopping mall in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province sparked controversy and confusion when they had their workers don "Eight Route Army" uniforms and reenact WWII executions of Japanese soldiers to promote sales. According to the manager, the mall started this "anti-Japanese themed" promotion during the anniversary of the Japanese invasion of China on July 7th, to allow customers to reminisce/sell clothes. Because apparently not even sensitive chapters of history are off-limits when it comes to facilitating consumer spending. Not to mention that it makes about as much sense as Wal-Mart reenacting Omaha Beach in the furniture aisle to spur sales of bean bag chairs.<br />
This might be even worse than the time Harbin installed Japanese soldier urinals to "promote pissing." <br />

Nelson Mandela's 'Freedom Torch'—used in historic ceremony up for auction<br />
<br />
RR Auction is proud to announce that Nelson Mandela's 'Freedom Torch,' used during a historic ceremony to symbolize the end of Apartheid, will be featured in an upcoming live auction event that is scheduled to take place in Boston in September.<br />
<br />
On February 11, 1990, Nelson Mandela walked out of Victor Verster Prison after spending nearly three decades in detention under the South African apartheid regime—a pivotal moment in the history of the nation and the world. This marked the beginning of the end for a racist oppression embedded in culture and codified in law, with Mandela embodying the spirit of the peace, democracy, and freedom that would take its place. In 1994, South Africa held its first fully representative democratic national election—now open to all races—which would see Mandela elected as the country's first black president.<br />
<br />
<br />
While on the campaign trail on February 3, 1994, Mandela returned to Victor Verster Prison to reenact his liberation, lighting a 'flame of freedom'—using the torch— that has only recently surfaced, to honor those who suffered to end apartheid. Mandela gathered with others who had been held as political prisoners and he was presented this torch at the prison gate, then lighted the symbolic flame, freed some doves, and placed a wreath on the razor wire hedge erected at the prison entrance. He then rode past adoring crowds to a rally at the soccer stadium in Paarl.<br />

On February 11, 1990, Nelson Mandela walked out of Victor Verster Prison after spending nearly three decades in detention under the South African apartheid regime—a pivotal moment in the history of the nation and the world. This marked the beginning of the end for a racist oppression embedded in culture and codified in law, with Mandela embodying the spirit of the peace, democracy, and freedom that would take its place. In 1994, South Africa held its first fully representative democratic national election—now open to all races—which would see Mandela elected as the country's first black president.<br />
<br />
<br />
While on the campaign trail on February 3, 1994, Mandela returned to Victor Verster Prison to reenact his liberation, lighting a 'flame of freedom'—using the torch— that has only recently surfaced, to honor those who suffered to end apartheid. Mandela gathered with others who had been held as political prisoners and he was presented this torch at the prison gate, then lighted the symbolic flame, freed some doves, and placed a wreath on the razor wire hedge erected at the prison entrance. He then rode past adoring crowds to a rally at the soccer stadium in Paarl.<br />
<br />
<br />
“It was such an apocalyptic moment seeing Mandela holding up that flame of freedom. I knew then, on top of all deep reflections in a lonely prison cell had revealed to me, that in my personal capacity I had a solemn responsibility to go on carrying that flame of freedom for as long as I lived— others too would have felt the same,” says Mosiuoa Lekota, a South African politician who currently serves as the Presi

Mall employees reenact WWII executions of Japanese soldiers to promote sales<br />
<br />
A shopping mall in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province sparked controversy and confusion when they had their workers don "Eight Route Army" uniforms and reenact WWII executions of Japanese soldiers to promote sales. According to the manager, the mall started this "anti-Japanese themed" promotion during the anniversary of the Japanese invasion of China on July 7th, to allow customers to reminisce/sell clothes. Because apparently not even sensitive chapters of history are off-limits when it comes to facilitating consumer spending. Not to mention that it makes about as much sense as Wal-Mart reenacting Omaha Beach in the furniture aisle to spur sales of bean bag chairs.<br />
This might be even worse than the time Harbin installed Japanese soldier urinals to "promote pissing." <br />

3D or not 3D? Scientists recreate warts-and-all 'image' of Shakespeare... but have they got the right man?<br />
<br />
Scientists have used state-of-the-art 3D computer technology to create what they say is the first true likeness of William Shakespeare.The image shows every wrinkle on the playwright's face and the figure's haunted stare is radically different from existing images which purport to be of the Bard.The warts-and-all image is featured in a TV documentary called Death Masks, due to be screened on the History Channel on September 13. Director Stuart Clarke said: 'The results from this forensic examination are startling. 'They show strong evidence both forensically and historically that this 3D model may be, in fact, the way Shakespeare looked in life. 'Breakthroughs in computer imaging mean we may have to rewrite the history books on Shakespeare.'Clarke's team have also produced 3D likenesses of Napoleon, Julius Caesar, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. The recreations are based on scans taken from death masks  -  and in some cases masks made during life.The producers of the show claim that the images will challenge viewers' perceptions of what some of history's most famous figures looked like.The image of Napoleon is said to be significantly different from that which the French have become accustomed to, while the 'real' face of Washington is nothing like his image on the dollar bill.But the recreation of Shakespeare is likely to cause the most controversy. The Bard's true likeness has been the subject of speculation for centuries and many experts dispute that the death mask used in the programme is Shakespeare's.It was found in Darmstadt, Germany, in the 1840s and German scientists linked it to Shakespeare after carrying out a series of tests.They say it proves the writer suffered from cancer towards the end of his life.<br />
