I recently watched a plane make a white streak across the sky. I didn’t think much of it, but later that day, I spotted another plane that wasn’t making a streak across the sky. So then, why had the first plane left a mark? Why had the second one not left a mark? What even was the mark? I was glad to find the answer to all these questions in the video above.
Politics, social media, businesses, reputation, and celebrities-- these are some of the many things that have power in our society. Is it possible to manipulate our perception of them?

James Harrison: Anti-D Program
Not long ago, I read an article about a man named James Harrison. I hope you’ll enjoy reading it as much as I did. Here is the begging of the article: “On Friday 11 May 2018 James made his last blood donation, having helped save the babies of more than 2 million Australian women. The 81 year-old has a precious antibody in his blood that is used to make a lifesaving medication called Anti-D, given to mothers whose blood is at risk of attacking their unborn babies.”
