Half of all people will have significant amounts of grey hair by the age of 50. If greying occurs before the age of 30, it is known as premature greying. Possible reasons for this happening:
·genetics
·long-term dieting
·lack of protein and nutrients
·extreme mental and emotional stress
·lack of iron, copper, zinc, and Vitamin B12
"If you color your hair too often with strong chemicals and put them on scalps（头皮）that are still growing, the cells in your hair might get damaged. This can change how melanocytes（生黑色素细胞）work. Because of this, they may stop making color earlier than normal," says Trichologist and Director of Hari and Scalp Clinic, HairMantra, Dr Padmaja Redekar. She recommends year ly scalp check-ups should be as routine as annual medicals.
"At HairMantra, you will receive expert advice with solutions for your whole lifestyle, products and supplements for your hair problems, and a hair care routine to use at home. Call us today and balance your hair health from the inside out," Padmaja adds.
In 2017, Irish President Michael D. Higgins and his wife Sabina started the Young Irish Philosopher Awards, the purpose of which is to invite students from throughout that country to reflect on interesting questions and participate in philosophical thinking and discussion. In 2023, over 500 young thinkers came together at University College Dublin for the sixth annual gathering. The grand prize winner was Seán Radeliffe from Cork, for his essay ‘Has Plato's tale of the cave been warning us of social media for 2,500years?'And speaking of Plato, in 2022, an award-winning documentary film entitled Young Plato received international recognition. It focuses on how Kevin McArevey, the headmaster of a primary school in Belfast's Ardoyne housing estates, uses critical thinking techniques to empower young children to look beyond the boundaries of their violence（For more, see YoungPlato. com）. As one can see, philosophy is alive and well in both the Republic of Ireland and the UK constituent country of Northern Ireland.
Ireland has traditionally been known as the Land of Saints and Scholars. In this edition of Philosophy Now, we'll cast a cold eye on the state of philosophy past, present and future in the Emerald Isle, with a focus on Thomas Duddy's idea, in his book A History of Irish Thought, that such an exploration must be both practical and creative.
This issue is dedicated to my late friend Seán Moran, a Philosophy Now writer and a modern Irish philosopher whom I met in Waterford many years ago, and whose humor, charm, and friendliness enriched my life. Like Tom Duddy, Seán died much too young. He demonstrated to me the true meaning of William Butler Yeats's closing words from his poem ‘The Municipal Gallery Revisited':
"Think where man's glory most begins and ends
And say my glory was I had such friends."

MyHeritage has announced the release of two new AI features which it promises will ‘revolutionise genealogy（系谱学）'research, similar to how Chat GPT revolutionised searching the Internet.
The first feature, AI Record FinderTM, is an interactive chatbot that helps family historian s find relevant historical records about a person of interest within MyHeritage's database of 20 billion records. This free-text chat tool enables users to talk to an intelligent assistant to find information about their ancestors, relatives, or other people who have passed away.
In addition to AI Record FinderTM, MyHeritage has also introduced AI BiographerTM, another innovative feature that automatically generates a narrative biography about an ancestor's life using information from historical records that match the person. This creates a Wikipedia-like biography, which gives users a complete understanding of their ancestor's life story.
These two new features are integrated, allowing MyHeritage users to create an AI Biography for their ancestors using the AI Record FinderTM. With this integration, users can easily use a conversational AI to search for historical records. This makes it faster and easier to find information about their family members.
Gilad Japhet, Founder and CEO of MyHeritage, said of the new features, "We're constantly pushing the boundaries of genealogy to reinvent the way people can discover their family history as we aim to reshape genealogy in the 21st century. Together, these advanced features strengthen MyHeritage's position as the industry leader for innovative genealogy and continue our mission to make family history easier, more accessible, and more fun for everyone." AI Record FinderTM is a disruptive feature that simplifies the way people can find information about their ancestors by making the search easier. AI Biographert M tums a person's life details into a fascinating story. Not all our ancestors were famous, but they all deserve to be remembered!
Astronomers have examined the stars that a new space telescope might target, to prepare for one of the most advanced searches for life on other planets. They found out which star systems might be more suitable to hunt for potential life.
In the 2040s, NASA plans to launch the Habitable Worlds Observatory（HWO）. Its big goal is to image about 25Earth-like planets in the habitable zones of sun-like stars-where water and even life could exist. Before building the HWO, scientists are working on significant challenges it will face.
One of those is choosing stars within around 100 light years from Earth that the telescope might target. Caleb Harada at the University of California, Berkeley, and his team analyzed 164 potential stars to determine their characteristics. These stars could become some of the most studied stars ever.
Harada and his team discovered that 102 of the stars are binaries（双子星）, which could make the search for life more complex. The HWO telescope will use a tool to block out the stars' light to attempt to image planets in orbit and study the gases in their atmospheres. "If binaries are too close together, the light from the unblocked star will be so bright that it'll cover up the planets and make them hard to see," explains Bruce Macintosh from the University of California Observatories.
Out of all the stars, 33 have dust rings that could make it hard to see planets clearly. "This makes exploring harder," says Harada. "Some stars also sometimes burst into bright flames, like our sun's flares, which aren't always deadly. But we need to check closely that they're not too strong, because these can affect life and living conditions," explains Harada.
We love our pets. In fact, for most people they are more than me re pets and become more like family members. It is likely then that their owners, at some point, are going to want photographs of their furry friends. However, pet photography presents its own special problems. If you're thinking of trying pet photography, here are a few pointers to get you started.
Find out about your subject's personality and habits. Where does it nod off if the sun is out? What is its favourite toy? It's also worth spending a little time getting to know the animal yourself. Cats, dogs, horses, they all have personality, and you need to ensure they are comfortable being around you, and you around them.
If the pet is comfortable with you, and if it isn't too nervous, fill the frame with the pet's face. Get the eyes nice and sharp. Just like humans, this is a natural point of focus, although focusing on the nose or mouth of a dog or cat can also make for an interesting image in its own right.
See the world from pets' perspective. If you photograph a pet while you're standing up, all you're going to see is the top of their head and their backs, not what you want for a portrait. Get down to their eye level. Try pre-focusing your camera and just holding it at ground level so you can look up at the pet. .
Bring a flash with the owner's permission. While greeting or playing with a new pet, fire a couple of test flashes away from them to see their reaction. In daylight particularly, they never seem to mind the flash at all. .
A. Think about getting in close to your subject. B. It's worth a try just for a new angle on things. C. Animals can be unpredictable, lazy, aggressive and excitable. D. A good photograph focuses on the subject and not the background. E. If they do mind, then stick with natural light and use a white reflector. F. The more you shoot, the greater your chances of hitting that perfect shot! G. Take time to chat with the owner and observe your subject to gain some insight. |

In New England, a few years ago, a party of boys decided to start a grand sleigh（雪橇）ride. The sleigh was a large one, pulled by six gray horses.
The next day, as the teacher entered the schoolroom, he found his students in high spirits, chattering excitedly about their journey. One of the boys recounted their trip and its various incidents. As he reached the end of his story, he exclaimed, "Oh sir, there was one thing I had almost forgotten. As we were coming home, we saw a strange sight on the road. It turned out to be a rust y old sleigh attached to a covered wagon（四轮运货车）, moving at a very slow pace and taking up the entire road."
The boys had grown impatient with the slow-moving vehicle ahead of them and decided to take action. They threw snowballs at the wagon and shouted, making the old horse start to run quickly. The old man in the wagon cried out, asking why they were frightening his horse. A boy replied, "Why don't you turn out, then?" and gave him three more loud cheers. His horse was frightened again and ran into a loaded wagon, almost making the old man fall over.
The teacher listened carefully to the boy's story before responding, "Take your seats, boys, and I will tell you a story about a sleigh ride, too."
Yesterday afternoon, a very elderly man was traveling from Boston to Salem to spend the winter at his son's house. He had brought his wagon for the journey and his sleigh for the winter. His vision and hearing were not what they used to be due to his age. He was traveling slowly, as his horse was old and weak like himself. Suddenly, he was frightened by loud cheers and rapid snowballs hitting his wagon. In his panic, he dropped the reins and his horse ran wildly. Amidst his troubles, a large group of boys in a sleigh pulled by six horses rushed past him, shouting and demanding that he give them the road.
