5 Celebs Who Surprisingly Left Us This Last Decade

by

2020 was a difficult year for everyone, there is no doubt about that. However, the last decade was not entirely easy either. Okay, there was no global pandemic, but a lot of celebrities we were fond of left this world. So that we do not forget about them, here are 5 celebs who passed away in the last decade, and whom we miss dearly.

Alan Rickman

The amazing Professor Snape‘s passing broke all of our hearts for real! Most of our generation grew up with Harry Potter, and it’s undeniable that Alan Rickman holds a special place in our hearts.

The actor died on January 14, 2016, aged 69. The only consolation is that we will always have the legendary movies he left behind to always remind us of him!

Carrie Fisher

Princess Leia is also one of the celebrities who left us in the past decade. Many will remember that it was in the middle of the new trilogy of the saga that Carrie Fisher said goodbye. So, unfortunately, she couldn’t see the result when it was finished, but her colleague made sure to pay her tribute.

Paul Walker

Speaking of celebs who left the world mid-shooting, who doesn’t remember the tragic death of Paul Walker? In fact, the actor who rose to fame thanks to the “Fast & Furious” movies also left us in the past decade. In his case, it was a traffic accident where speed supposedly ended his life. However, his memory remains in the saga in the form of a tribute in one of the films, including a dedicated sountrack by Wiz Khalifa.

Amy Winehouse

Another big celebs loss in the world of music this decade was Amy Winehouse. The British singer and songwriter died in 2011 following an overdose. It was not quite a shock to many, given her lifestyle containing certain reckless habits and drug abuse.

Robin Williams

The fun man who made our childhood with iconic movies like “Mrs. Doubtfire.” The actor took his own life in the summer of 2014. The news that shocked the world revolved essentially around the severe depression Robin Williams suffered from. Especially, given the irony of being a comic actor his entire life.

Why Are Vaccinated People Catching COVID-19 Again?

by

Vaccinated people were supposed to be relieved from the fear of catching COVID-19. However, some cases show a new re-transmission of the virus, despite growing anti-bodies. So, how did this happen? First, it’s important to state that the number of cases is very low compared to the lives that were saved! Here is a breakthrough of what is currently happening with the COVID-19 vaccine.

Breakthrough Cases Are Very Rare

According to health researchers, these cases of vaccinated people catching coronavirus, are very rare. In fact, they conclude that ”only 9,245 breakthrough cases reported to the CDC, federal data show. That’s out of more than 95 million Americans who had been vaccinated at that point.”

Therefore, it’s safe to say that efficacy rate of 95% shown by both Moderna and Pfizer, is doing its job. As for the breakthrough cases, there exist many factors that could prevent the vaccine from being effective.

Reasons Why Vaccines Don’t Make You Immune

In the first place, people have different bodies and reactions. Although chances are very low, people can have such a genetically weak immunity, that vaccines just can’t breakthrough. In addition, certain factors like completing the doses, having them being administered the right way, and the age of the person can also play an important role. According to Bloomberg, it takes about two weeks for the body to build full immunity against the virus. Therefore, breakthroughs occurring in this time frame are not an indication about the vaccine itself.

Vaccination Is Still Saving Lives

That being said, the COVID-19 vaccines are saving many lives around the globe! In fact, life is slowly returning to normal post-pandemic. If anything, this supports the effectiveness and efficiency of the vaccination process.

To conclude, vaccinated people who catch COVID-19 again represent less than 1% of the general data. It’s due to several factors, some are biological, and others are purely human. However, the vaccine is important and is the only way towards the ”new normal.”

The Craziest Deep Fakes That Will Make You Question Reality

by

Youtube

Since people began to learn to use photoshop properly we have seen photo montages of all kinds. From putting your face on your pet, to “riding” in a luxury car with Kanye West. However, manipulating videos has always been more complicated to do, since it’s hard to hide the truth on video tape. Or at least, that’s what we thought! Now, with the new technique of deep fakes, we are doomed. Do not believe it? We show you some deep fakes that seem so real you won’t even believe it!

Tom Cruise, Robert Downey Jr. And Tom Holland

Hollywood’s best-known action star Iron Man and Spider-Man are not without deep fakes. Although, luckily, for them, it is made clear that they are not their real faces. Yet, many people have fallen for it. And honestly, it can easily seem like it’s actually Cruise who is speaking in the interview.

Mark Zuckerberg And Donald Trump

The Ex-President (much to his regret) of the United States has also been “immortalized” in one of these deep fakes. In his case “being” Saul Goodman, the lawyer for Walter White and Jeese Pinkman in “Breaking Bad.” Worst? That hits home perfectly.

Mark Zuckerberg, on the other hand, the only time he was “edited” was through in a speech of his. Obviously, the work consisted of changing his words in the smoothest way! So, if we think about it, deep fakes are actually quite scary and can cause harm to others.

Jim Carrey, Will Smith And Stallone

Jim Carrey has incredible control of his face, as he has shown many, many times. However, this “imitation” of Jack Nicholson in “The Shining” is nothing but a deep fake. (Although we would’ve loved for it to be real.)

Will Smith, meanwhile, had the opportunity to be Neo in “The Matrix.” A role that, finally, would fall on Keanu Reeves. However, thanks to the magic of deep fakes we can see how a young Smith could have been the perfect fit of The Chosen One.

The Weirdest Things Discovered With Google Maps

by

The world is a very strange place, much more than we can imagine. Nowadays with technology taking over, we have access to absolutely everything! And as a proof, here are some of the weirdest things discovered with Google Maps. From unexplainable drawings on fields, to ”crazy” people and events around the world. 

Aerial ”Creepy” Images 

There are some things that can only be seen from above. As a result of the accuracy feature of google maps when offering aerial images, some ”creepy” things were discovered. First, we have Trementina Base. This mark is believed to be related to Scientology. In fact, Google Maps discovered it right outside of Trementina in Mexico, which is owned by a member of this group.

Second,another classic of aerial images is the “drawings” on corps fields. What could it be? Aliens? Secret groups? A farmer with extra time? We don’t know, and that makes this perfect triangle drawn in a field in Kazakhstan even more mysterious.

Some Of The Craziest People

Drunk people often do the most hilarious things. Actually, drunk videos are also one of our favorite humor generators on the Internet. Sometimes, even Google Maps can’t miss spotting people who do not even know where they are. Like this man who ended up in his own trunk with no clothes on.

In addition, people can have some weird ideas, such as this image caught on screen of a group of friends standing in the desert with creepy masks on…

Google Maps Didn’t Miss Anything

The good side (also the bad side) of technology, is that you are always spotted. In fact, this goes for certain locations as well. The Red Lake in Iraq was a normal lake, until google maps spotted that it has become red, due to ” the runoff of a local slaughterhouse.”

On the funny side, a giant chicken was spotted in a corner of a neighborhood street in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Although nobody was able to explain how the chicken got there in the first place, local authorities insisted on removing it from there.

Putin Announces That Russia Has Found A Vaccine For Coronavirus

by

The Russian president announced this week that his country has a vaccine for Coronavirus. In fact, Vladimir Putin even assured that the vaccine works perfectly, giving the example of his daughter.

Furthermore, a vaccine against Covid-19 is the number one priority worldwide and many countries, organizations and companies say they are close to developing one. By the end of this year, some other countries are expected to have their own vaccines. It is important that political barriers do not prevent the best available technologies from being used for the benefit of all people in the face of the most serious challenge that humanity has faced in decades.

Putin Claims That The Vaccine Is Approved For Use

Russian experts claim that several trials of the vaccine have been performed. In fact, they argue that it has even been approved for use, according to international sanitary laws. President Putin revealed that the vaccine passed all checks, adding that ”his daughter had already been given it.”

BBC’s medical correspondent argued that ” Moscow has not released any safety or immunity data from its studies. This makes it impossible for independent scientists to make an assessment.”

Several Parties Question The Legitimacy Of This Vaccine

Unfortunately, instead of looking at the science behind the proven adenoviral and vector vaccine, tested and developed by Russia, some politicians and international media have decided to focus on politics and attempts to undermine the credibility of the Russian vaccine.

Moreover, most doubts have risen from the US, claiming that this vaccine is lacking legitimacy. The WHO indirectly supported those claims, and called for proofs.

When Will This Vaccine Be Accessible For People? 

According to the Russian government, the vaccine has proven to work in over 100 Covid-19 active cases. Putin said that the vaccine that was initially developed by Moscow’s Gamaleya Institute, provides “sustainable immunity” against the coronavirus. In addition, he added that the vaccine proved “quite effective”, without giving further details.

On this note, it’s expected to have the vaccine ready to circulate among people starting of January 2021.
