US scientists believe they may have uncovered why hair turns grey as we age, citing pigment-making cells which lose the ability to mature.
The arrested development impacts immature cells which would otherwise have developed into melanocytes which give hair its natural colour or shade.
Cause of grey hair may be '''stuck''' cells, say scientists - BBC News

Something I'd never noticed until I saw this speed selection part of a turntable today.
Attachment 185083
33 + 45 = 78.
I wonder if that's how 33rpm and 45 rpm came about noting 78 rpm was first?
My Philips turntable has capacitive touch buttons to select 33 or 45. If you hold them both down (they won't latch) you get 78 on the nose.
That one of the old ones with the green backlight on the buttons?Quote:

It seems that one is still in army colours rather than painted to look like it.
Not always the case though - the Auster aeroplane I owned in the 1960s, which was silver both originally and in my ownership, was repainted in army colours by the owner about twenty years ago, and as far as I know still is.
