The man is a legend who gave millions not only a chance to reach the age of happiness, but also a chance for life... In this photo - Australian James Harrison, he is 82 years old. He is also known as "The Man with the Golden Blood" or "The Man with the Golden Arm". At the age of 14, he underwent major chest surgery and was in urgent need of about 12 liters of donated blood. After the operation, he was in the hospital for three months. Realizing that donating blood saved his life, he made a promise to start donating blood as soon as he turned 18. Harrison began donating blood in 1954. It soon became clear that his blood contained unusually strong and persistent antibodies to the Rh D antigen. Harrison's blood was so unique that his life was insured for one million dollars. On the basis of his blood plasma, a serum was created that, when administered to an Rh-negative woman pregnant with an Rh-positive child, prevents the development of antibodies in the blood of the fetus and, thereby, hemolytic jaundice of newborns. Harrison donated his plasma every three weeks on average for 57 years. In May 2011, he passed it for the thousandth time, which is a world record. Until 2015, all anti-Rhesus drugs in Australia were made from Harrison's plasma. In May 2018, Harrison donated blood for the last time. During this time, Harrison's plasma has helped save the lives of more than two million (!!!) newborns, including his own granddaughter.

A flea can accelerate faster than a space shuttle. Flea jumps reach breathtaking heights - 8 centimeters per millisecond. Each jump gives the flea an acceleration that is 50 times the acceleration of the spaceship. Parasites especially use this method of movement in case of danger, jumping so quickly that a person sometimes cannot even understand: fleas are jumping or crawling. Such a unique ability is also necessary for insects to search for prey.
Rolex has filed a trademark application for the NFT and its own marketplace. The full content of the documents is not known, but there is information that they contain plans not only to integrate NFT, but also software for auctions. It is worth noting that the company does not plan to limit itself to the release of NFT, but wants to expand its sphere of influence in the Web 3 space as a whole. In addition, one of the points was information that the company can release its own digital wallet for its products. Following this news, some users speculated that NFTs could be fractionated, whereby even regular users could own a piece of Rolex. However, given the policy of the company, they will take every possible measure to prevent this possibility. It's not just that their watches start at 10 bucks. Perhaps they will introduce some element into the physical watch, with the help of which it will be possible to obtain their digital copy, thereby verifying the authenticity. In fact, this kind of activity from well-known brands allows us to conclude that they see a future in what we are doing. And that means we are on the right track.
