Daniel Day-Lewis: The Butcher, Oil Taker, 13th Amendment Maker Daniel Day-Lewis , an actor who usually portrays his characters with bombastic furor, finds a softer voice as Lincoln, in Steven Spielberg’s new period film, now in theaters. Yes, it’s ironic that the character he played in Gangs of New York hated President Lincoln but it is far more interesting to take a deeper look at how the Oscar winner prepares for such epic roles, through his mind, body and now, most notably, his voice. 10 years ago, Martin Scorsese’s period drama brought us the violent Bill the Butcher, played by Day-Lewis. Bill led the Know Nothing party, which opposed immigration to America and despised President Lincoln for his efforts to unite the people. While Day-Lewis doesn’t like to reveal too much about his work, he does admit in this interview with The Independent , the role of Bill was very tough on him. He continues to explain how he could play such a villainous man, as Plainview. “Well, we all have murderous thoughts throughout the day, if not the week.

List of unusual deaths This is a list of unusual deaths. This list includes unique or extremely rare circumstances of death recorded throughout history, noted as being unusual by multiple sources. Some of the deaths are mythological or are considered to be unsubstantiated by contemporary researchers. Oxford Dictionaries defines the word "unusual" as "not habitually or commonly occurring or done" and "remarkable or interesting because different from or better than others."[1] Some other articles also cover deaths that might be considered unusual or ironic, including List of entertainers who died during a performance, List of inventors killed by their own inventions, List of association footballers who died while playing, List of professional cyclists who died during a race and the List of political self-immolations.

Voynich manuscript The Voynich manuscript is an illustrated codex hand-written in an unknown writing system. The vellum on which it is written has been carbon-dated to the early 15th century (1404–1438), and may have been composed in Northern Italy during the Italian Renaissance.[1][2] The manuscript is named after Wilfrid Voynich, a Polish book dealer who purchased it in 1912.[3] Some of the pages are missing, but about 240 remain. The text is written from left to right, and most of the pages have illustrations or diagrams. The Voynich manuscript has been studied by many professional and amateur cryptographers, including American and British codebreakers from both World War I and World War II.[4] No one has yet succeeded in deciphering the text, and it has become a famous case in the history of cryptography. The Voynich manuscript was donated by Hans P. Description[edit] Codicology[edit] The binding and covers are not original to the book, but date to during its possession by the Collegio Romano.[8]
Roanoke Colony Failed colony in North America (1584–1590) Roanoke Colony was founded by Governor Ralph Lane in 1585 on Roanoke Island in present-day Dare County, North Carolina. Poor relations with some of the local Native American tribes and a lack of supplies troubled Lane's colony. A resupply mission by Sir Richard Grenville was delayed, so Lane abandoned the colony and returned to England with Sir Francis Drake in 1586. Grenville arrived two weeks later and also returned home, leaving behind a small detachment to protect Raleigh's claim. A second expedition led by John White landed on the island in 1587. Speculation that the colonists had assimilated with nearby Indian tribes appears in writings as early as 1605. The Outer Banks were explored in 1524 by Giovanni da Verrazzano, who mistook Pamlico Sound for the Pacific Ocean, and concluded that the barrier islands were an isthmus. Despite the broad powers granted to Raleigh, he was forbidden to leave the queen's side. Amadas–Barlowe expedition
