Retro Review: Honda Prelude
Stephen Rivers December 29, 2021
The Honda Prelude is the often forgotten sport compact car that fits between other historic nameplates like the Integra and Civic.
Another Honda Favorite
2001 Honda Prelude – hondanews.com | Shop Honda Prelude on Carsforsale.com
The Honda Prelude is a sport compact that is well known for punching way above its weight class. Its history dates back to 1978 when it was introduced to the world as a 2+2 coupe with a small but punchy four-cylinder engine. During its life, the Prelude was a hotbed for Honda's innovation and technology. It survived through five different generations that lasted until 2001 when less than 10,000 were sold and the car ended its production run. Today, it is a well-loved and remembered sports car that never found the grand success of other Hondas like the Civic or the Accord. Here's a deep dive into how it earned that status.
An Answer to the Celica
1979 Honda Prelude - hondanews.com
When Toyota released the Celica it proved that Honda was missing a gap in the market. To answer the bell they took the running gear from the Accord and developed a smaller chassis that would ultimately become the Honda Prelude. Each corner had the same independent suspension and braking from the Accord, but they didn't just stop there. Honda also added a bevy of advanced technology for the time.
Thanks to the lighter weight and more svelte proportions, the Prelude was automatically a good driver. The 72-horsepower engine wasn't exactly fast, but it was mated to a great five-speed manual in most cars. This recipe set the stage for what was to come. No, the original Prelude didn't sell well, but it sparked a fire that would burn for many decades.
The Prelude Comes Into Its Own
When Honda redesigned the Prelude for 1983, they wanted to make the car look sleeker and sharper. To do that they lowered the hood and rear decklid. Of course, that gave them less space under the hood for components. The old-school MacPherson suspension at the front had to go. In its place came a double-wishbone setup on the Honda Prelude. That single change pushed the car much further ahead, but Honda wasn't done there. The engine was also upgraded to make at least 100 horsepower. In 1987, Honda added the first Prelude Si which made 110 horsepower. Technologically, the Prelude still had room to grow though.
Third Generation Honda Prelude
1990 Honda Prelude Si - hondanews.com
That's where the third generation started to change the game. Honda outfitted the new car with wishbone suspension on all four corners. It got disc brakes all the way around too and under the hood, power was boosted to 109 horsepower. In addition, the Honda Prelude used four-wheel-steering for the first time. This trick steering system would turn the rear wheels in the opposite direction at low speeds to allow for easier parking, but turn them in the same direction at high speeds to make for better cornering. By 1991, the Prelude was making up to 140 horsepower and was one of the most powerful Hondas on sale.
Fourth Generation Honda Prelude
1993 Honda Prelude S - hondanews.com
The vast majority of Honda Prelude lovers today though will call out the fourth generation as perhaps the most iconic. For the first and only time in its history, Honda abandoned the squared off-sharp styling of previous generations and created a coupe with the same basic proportions, but with a much more curvaceous body. The horizontal tail lights were gone in favor of curvy vertical units. This design change signified a big shift under the skin too.
For the first time a VTEC motor was found under the hood. In 1993, it was making 187 horsepower and 153 lb-ft of torque. That number was astonishing at the time and combined with the advanced suspension and four-wheel-steering to make the Prelude one of the best sports compact cars in history.
The Last Honda Prelude
1998 Honda Prelude Type SH - hondanews.com
Finally, in 1997, Honda released the final generation of the Prelude which would build on all of the previous success with even more performance. It didn't really emulate any single generation of its precursors at all. The car was more angular than the fourth-gen, but not nearly as razor-sharp as the rest of the family. The approach seemed more balanced too. Honda quit offering multiple engine choices and stuck with the H22A4, a 2.2-liter four-cylinder with 194 horsepower and 156 lb-ft of torque. It sent that power to the front wheels through a four-speed auto or a five-speed manual.
A special SH trim level stood for Super Handling and it couldn't have been more on the nose. Honda fitted something called the Active Torque Transfer System to the Prelude SH. ATTS could sense which wheel was on the outside of a corner and then send power to it. That helped the Prelude handle better than ever. Nevertheless, the market had spoken by 2001. Very few Preludes were sold as SUVs, crossovers, and trucks were taking over.
What the Prelude Stands for Today
Modified Honda Prelude – Fitment Industries on youtube.com | Shop Honda Prelude on Carsforsale.com
It's very hard to find a Honda Prelude that hasn't been modified to the moon these days. That speaks to the kind of car they were and the buyer they attracted. People were blown away at how practical and how fun the Prelude was. Many owners upgraded parts and pushed the limits of performance even further. Honda has never returned to the sport compact space in the same way. Sports cars just aren't as profitable and the market has made that clear. Nevertheless, we can't help but appreciate the legendary performance and abilities of the Honda Prelude.

What do you think about the Olympics Games this year?
I am Brazilian and I've read so many things about the Olympics, most of the time bad things, and I think that my country has many problems like every country in the world, but we can be able to look the good things too!
So many great athletes who show us how to overcome our obstacles and have courage, our people doing their best to change the image of our country. We have to hope and act to achieve a better future for everyone.
Be comfortable to correct me if you want! ;)
The main sport I watch is Track and Field.
I usually try not to think about the politics behind sports, but it is hard to avoid.
Of course Brazil has problems, but so does every other host nation of sporting events. Though the problems are more noticeable in Brazil. I think its similar to the concerns in South Africa during the 2010 world cup. In these cases its hard to tell if the problems are actually as bad as they are from media reports alone. You just have to be there yourself.
As for the actual events, I was very pleased. All the track events I watched were amazing. Of course Usain Bolt's triple triple, a new 400m world record, and David Rudisha retained his 800m title. The only political thing I couldn't ignore was the ban on Russian athletes I really wanted to see them compete. They would have been good at the 400m hurdles and pole vault.
The only thing I'd be willing to complain about, as someone from Europe, is the time zone difference that made practically impossible to watch the finals live! But there's no blaming Brazil for that ;-)
As for other issues such as the famous green pool and the not-so-clean waters of the bay, there's always the sensationalism and the envy that national (chiefly patronising Anglo-Saxon) media has accustomed us to...of course there are bigger problems in Brazil, but think of what they had been writing for months: Zika, terrorist attacks, unfinished venues and so on. Eventually things worked out just fine, and what a great show the Olympics have given us: Phelps' comeback, Bolt's 3x3, Simone Biles, Katie Ledecki and Brazil winning the gold medal against Germany at the penalty shootouts, and so on! What did the Guardian write? Right, no Olympiads outside the "developed world"...Are the Olympics a wise investment? Not really, I think that it's mainly a matter of boosting a country's morale and it looks like Brazil did accomplish that.
My only concern is whether this will eventually make for a more liveable and better-equipped Rio for those who live there, because history may teach otherwise...
So cheer up, the Olympics were a success!
this year the olimpic games being so neautiful and intereting. i like a lot basket ball and handball but the best is USain Bolt in the 100 and 200 metres. do you agree?
I am Brazilian and I've read so many things about the Olympics, most of the time bad things, and I think that my country has many problems like every other country in the world, but we should look at the good things too!
So many great athletes showing us how to overcome our obstacles and have courage, our people doing their best to change the image of our country. We have to hope and act to achieve a better future for everyone.
I've made a few corrections! :) Well, I also believe this event has brought good things to the country. Not only has it improved some infrastructures, but also the vibe in the country. Perhaps, now that it's over, people will go back to what it was like before, but it was certainly a break from all the pessimistic thoughts that were and ARE in the air! Like you said, let's hope for the best, change ourselves to become better and most importantly help each other! :)
Beside all the flaws and weaknesses in helding Olympic games, Brasil and its people are doing good job! But I am not satisfied about referees in several sports especially weightlifting. Of course it is not Brazilians fault!! So thank you for your great hosting :)

Increasing Tiger Deaths in Uttarakhand: Are We Taking Natural Tiger Deaths Lightly?
In 8 months of the year 2017, Uttarakhand has already heard news of 12 tiger deaths. What are the odds, as the state has been gloating over the increase of tiger population from last two to three years. Now, it will be unwise to blindly blame poaching, as most of the deaths, according experts were due to severe injuries after territorial fight, accidents, poisoning or varied other reasons. However, what surprises us the most is the fact that there have been noticeable numbers of death in the state's biggest and most popular national park, Corbett. So, even if for a brief moment, we ignore the natural deaths in the forest areas of Uttarakhand, we fail to turn a blind eye towards death reasons in Jim Corbett Tiger Reserve & National Park, because indeed the condition that led to something so unfortunate could have been manoeuvred to save lives of these big cats.
In February 2017, Corbett Tiger Reserve (CTR) Authority issued shoot-at-sight orders to prevent killing of tigers by the hands of poachers. But do you think that is enough to save an endangered species like tiger? It is quite comprehensible that a natural tiger death, for that matter, accidents are taken lightly in the state, however, the fact remains that increasing vigilance could solve the problem to an extent. The fact file below will convince you that few accidents and natural death could have been less in number, if at all proper measures were taken:
These are some of the deaths for which the reason could be determined; there are still plenty of deaths for which prototype answer of natural death was given. However, in one of the strangest incidences where a tiger died of injuries due to botched rescue attempt by an earthmover, reason, he (tiger) was killing people and other tigers, one can sense sheer imprudence. There could have been of course better ways to handle a situation like such. Although, this remains one of its kind incident, but since the beginning of the year 2017, separate incidents in the state have been reported where the tigers died due to the following reasons:
Territorial Fights: Is It Leveling Up to the Major Issue of Poaching?
Representative Photo
In the above mentioned incident, the tiger that got killed by the earthmover is said to have killed two other tigers for dominance in a territory. Though fighting for territory is quite common in tigers, the question of the hour is why there are so many occurrences of territorial fights in the state. Is there a space crunch in Uttarakhand for tigers? That's another unanswered question. We agree that the tiger population in Uttarakhand is on the rise, but in order to maintain a perfect balance, effective measures have to be brewed. Also, vigilance that has constantly been the focus in this write up has to be given some thought. The injuries that the tiger suffer during the territorial fight can be life threatening, and thus, often have to be attended immediately. Sometimes in a fight, the tiger seem to lose incisor teeth, which leave it devoid of hunting ability, and thus, some of them also die of starvation.
Poisoning: Are We Turning a Blind Eye towards It?
While poaching is considered the biggest crime, and is seen as the major reason behind the dwindling tiger population, poisoning goes unnoticed. But it is something we cannot turn blind eye to. On February 21, in Chidiyapur Range of Haridwar Division, a tiger was killed, though Septicemia, a bacterial infection of the blood was determined as the reason of death, a large number of wildlife activists believe that it was poisoned by the local community inhabiting the area, as the tiger is said to have killed some of the people. Why are no cases like these reported or for that matter probed? There is no denying in the fact that there always remain a conflict between communities living near the forest area and wild animals. So, what is to be done to resolve this equation?
Road Accidents: Why is Speeding Even Allowed on Roads Connecting Tiger Reserves?
Last year in 2016, 15 animals died including a tiger in road accidents on Haridwar Highway, their fault was that they were trying to cross the roads to enter Rajaji Tiger Reserve. All the vehicles involved in the incident are reported to be speeding. Again, another impetuous act, speeding in the highway that traverse the forest area beckons unavoidable accidents, and killing of wild animals. Had the roads been under strict surveillance, it could have saved of such horrific accidents.
The All India Tiger Estimation 2014 reports confirm that Uttarakhand is home to 340 tigers of which around 220 are in Corbett Tiger Reserve. Some of the key forest divisions adjoining Corbett such as Terai East, Terai West, Terai Central, Ramnagar, Haldwani and Lansdowne also have a healthy number of tigers. With such clear insights, what is stopping the state to take proper measures to safeguard the lives of tigers? We understand that death is inevitable, and the old goes to make place for the new, however, a lot of tiger deaths can be delayed if only conservation is practiced in the right manner. The above discussed issues and several others need to be resolved; vigilance has to be given priority; and awareness/consciousness has to be created in the people above the importance of the life of tigers and for that matter, wildlife. Conservation is not the sole responsibility of forest department; we have a large role to play in it too. As a responsible tourist, we can all report any illegal and faulty act encountered; keeping eyes and ears open while travelling shall also reap some good results and talking more and more about tiger issues can also create effective buzz.

Declan Geraghty ready to put seven months of frustration behind him with Belfast return
The former two-time Irish Elite amateur champion has been added to the 'Danger at the Devenish 3' bill
Declan Geraghty
Former two-time Irish Elite amateur champion Declan Geraghty is ready to "get the ball rolling" following a seven-month absence.
Geraghty will make his return to the ring in Belfast next month on the Ginley Promotions 'Danger at the Devenish 3' bill.
The Dubliner (15-2, 4KOs) has been added to the exciting show which will be held at the Devenish Complex on February 10.
The 27-year-old super-featherweight has not fought since last July, while he has been sidelined since last November with a hand injury, but 'Pretty Boy' is now looking good to make his comeback in Belfast.
"I'm delighted to get a date to get the ball rolling for a big 2018," said Geraghty.
Anthony Upton wants to keep busy in 2018 as he is added to exciting Ginley Promotions show
"It'll be good to shake the cobwebs off because I only had two fights last year with injuries and what not. It's a while since I was last out.
"The hand feels good now. I haven't punched properly with it yet because I've had to rest it as long as possible. I've been sparring with one hand, but there's no point in rushing it.
Geraghty lost to James Tennyson last year
"It's holding up great and I've been resting it for over two months. Once my hands are right I'll be getting into big 50-50 fights.
"I've started camp already and I'll start proper sparring next week. I'm hoping to get a big fight sorted soon, so I'll just be staying in camp all the way through."
Geraghty's injury forced him to pull out of a much-anticipated rematch against long-time rival and MTK Global stablemate Jono Carroll on last November's 'Frampton Reborn' fight card in Belfast.
While the Dublin city native was disappointed that his hand problems forced that cancellation, the injury made him reassess his ambitions as the stylish southpaw looks to rebuild following losses to Carroll and Belfast's James Tennyson.
"I was devastated I had to pull out, but I had a camp going for it before that so it's not like I've been completely inactive – that's the only positive I can really take out of it," said Geraghty.
Conrad Cummings hoping to build momentum as he is added to 'Danger at the Devenish 3' bill
"This [February bout] will just be a routine fight to shake those cobwebs off, but I'm making changes to my lifestyle this year too. I won't be enjoying myself after fights, I'm just going to stay in training and I'm hoping to make big noises in Dublin in 2018."
The 27-year-old also remains hopeful that a long-awaited rematch against old foe Carroll will finally take place in the near future as he still hopes to avenge his dramatic 2014 loss.
"I'm keen on it," said Geraghty. "The fight is being talked about a lot – everyone's always asking about it, probably because we both talk a bit of smack and that's what sells fights.
"There's hype for it after the first fight. Not many people get to right their wrongs and get a second chance so I'd really like to do that if or when I get the chance."

Melatonin more than for Sleep!
While melatonin works as a natural sleep regulator, it affects health in many other important ways as well.1 For example, melatonin:
Is a potent antioxidant2
Plays an important role in cancer prevention3
Is important for brain, cardiovascular and gastrointestinal health4
Boosts immune function in a variety of ways
May improve the treatment of certain bacterial diseases, including tuberculosis5
Helps quell inflammation
May prevent or improve autoimmune diseases, including Type 1 diabetes6
Is an important energy hormone7 — If your sleep efficiency is impaired, meaning you're not sleeping as deeply as you should, for as long as is ideal, then your energy level is going to be adversely affected
As noted in the Journal of Critical Care:8
"Melatonin is a versatile molecule, synthesized not only in the pineal gland, but also in many other organs. Melatonin plays an important physiologic role in sleep and circadian rhythm regulation, immunoregulation, antioxidant and mitochondrial-protective functions, reproductive control, and regulation of mood. Melatonin has also been reported as effective in combating various bacterial and v. infections."
Melatonin — Research on Sepsis?
The Journal of Critical Care paper,9 published in 2010, further highlights the potential role of melatonin in the treatment of sepsis (blood poisoning), a life-threatening condition triggered by a systemic infection that causes your body to overreact and launch an excessive and highly damaging immune response.
Unless promptly diagnosed and treated, it can rapidly progress to multiple-organ failure and death. The cytokine storm response appears to be a primary way by which infections claims the lives of those who are immunocompromised and/or elderly. According to the Journal of Critical Care:10
"Melatonin is an effective anti-inflammatory agent in various animal models of inflammation and sepsis, and its anti-inflammatory action has been attributed to inhibition of nitric oxide synthase with consequent reduction of peroxynitrite formation, to the stimulation of various antioxidant enzymes thus contributing to enhance the antioxidant defense, and to protective effects on mitochondrial function and in preventing apoptosis.
In a number of animal models of septic shock, as well as in patients with septic disease, melatonin reportedly exerts beneficial effects to arrest cellular damage and multiorgan failure."
In summary, melatonin appears to reverse septic shock symptoms by:11
Decreasing synthesis of proinflammatory cytokines
Preventing lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced oxidative damage, endotoxemia and metabolic alterations
Suppressing gene expression of the bad form of nitric oxide, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS)
Preventing apoptosis (cell death)
According to the authors, the ways in which melatonin prevents septic shock are complex:
"Apart from action on the local sites of inflammation, melatonin also exerts its beneficial actions through a multifactorial pathway including its effects as immunomodulatory, antioxidant and antiapoptotic agent."

Melatonin Ameliorates Cytokine Responses
In her email, Seneff goes on to cite a 2014 study13 in the Journal of Pineal Research which, like the Journal of Critical Care paper, points out that melatonin accumulates in mitochondria and has both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity that could be useful in the treatment of sepsis.
Melatonin is derived from serotonin, which in turn is derived from tryptophan, one of the three aromatic amino acids that are products of the shikimate pathway. Glyphosate famously disrupts the shikimate pathway in weeds, and this is believed to be the main mechanism by which it kills the weeds. Our gut bacteria also produce tryptophan via the shikimate pathway, so glyphosate can be expected to reduce the bioavailability of tryptophan as a precursor to melatonin.
The study mentioned above was a Phase 1 dose escalation study in healthy volunteers to evaluate the tolerability and health effects of melatonin at various dosages. They also assessed the effect of melatonin in an ex vivo whole blood model mimicking sepsis.
No adverse effects were reported for dosages ranging from 20 milligram (mg) to 100 mg, and the blood model testing revealed melatonin and its metabolite 6-hydroxymelatonin "had beneficial effects on sepsis-induced mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress and cytokine responses …" The authors further explain:14
"Oxidative stress in patients with sepsis has been consistently described over the last 20 years. Mitochondrial dysfunction initiated by oxidative stress drives inflammation and is generally accepted as playing a major role in sepsis-induced organ failure.
It has been recognized that exogenous antioxidants may be useful in sepsis, and more recently, the potential for antioxidants acting specifically in mitochondria has been highlighted.
We showed previously that antioxidants targeted to mitochondria, including melatonin, reduced organ damage in a rat model of sepsis. Exogenous melatonin has potent antioxidant activity, and it accumulates throughout cells, particularly in mitochondria. Metabolites of melatonin also have antioxidant activity, and products from the reactions with oxidant species are also antioxidants.
In vitro models of sepsis show that melatonin and its major hydroxylated metabolite, 6-hydroxymelatonin, are both effective at reducing the levels of key inflammatory cytokines, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial dysfunction. In rat models of sepsis, melatonin reduces oxidative damage and organ dysfunction and also decreases mortality.
The dose needed for antioxidant action is thought to be considerably higher than that given for modulation of the sleep–wake cycle, but the actual dose required in man is unclear, particularly because the major bioactive effects of oral melatonin in the context of inflammation are likely to be mediated primarily by metabolite levels."
Antiseptic Effects of Melatonin
More recently, a 2019 animal study15 in the journal Frontiers in Immunology discusses how melatonin can protect against polymicrobial sepsis — i.e., sepsis caused by more than one microbial organism — a hallmark of which is severe loss of lymphocytes through apoptosis, resulting in a twofold higher lethality than unimicrobial sepsis (sepsis caused by a single microbe).16
In this case, melatonin appears to offer protection by having an antibacterial effect on white blood cells called neutrophils. A high neutrophil count is an indicator for infection. According to the authors of the 2019 study:
"Melatonin treatment inhibited peripheral tissue inflammation and tissue damage … consequently reducing the mortality of the mice. We found that macrophages and neutrophils expressed melatonin receptors.
Upon depletion of neutrophils, melatonin-induced protection against polymicrobial infection failed in the mice, but melatonin treatment in macrophage-depleted mice attenuated the mice mortality resulting from polymicrobial sepsis.
Moreover, melatonin treatment promoted the development of the neutrophil extracellular trap (NET), which contributed to anti-bacterial activity during polymicrobial infection, whereas the phagocytic activities of neutrophils were inhibited by melatonin.
The data from this study support previously unexplained antiseptic effects of melatonin during a polymicrobial infection and could be potentially useful for human patients with sepsis."
Understanding Infections
The potential role of melatonin in infection was also addressed in an extensive and fully referenced March 14, 2020, article by medical researcher Doris Loh, published in the Italian online magazine Evolutamente.17
One answer may be because the v. load in those with this infection is extremely high — 1,000 times higher than the v. load seen in SARS patients back in 2003.18
Preliminary research19 cited by Loh shows this infection the v. is actively replicating in the throat during the first five days after the onset of symptoms. This higher v. load could be what allows the v. to overwhelm even the immune system of some younger and healthier individuals.
Inflammasomes and Cytokine Storms
Another mechanism that can help explain the high virulence of this infection compared to SARS has to do with a furin cleavage site in the spike protein of the v. that wasn't present in the SARS v.. As explained by Loh, "The presence of furins on almost all cell surfaces allow a dramatically increased ability to fuse to host cells, facilitating v. entry …" She adds:20
"Cleavage specificity can dictate the tropism and virulence of the virus. The fact that this infection has cleavage sites for furin enzymes renders this v. to be highly pathogenic, with the capacity to replicate in MULTIPLE tissues and organs due to how furins are utilized and distributed in the human body.
Furin-like cleavage in human coronaviruses have been associated with the development of neurological diseases where the invasiveness and efficient establishment of lower pathogenicity can result in persistent infection of the central nervous system.
Thus it was not a surprise when in early March of 2020, doctors from Beijing Ditan Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University, a designated institution for this infection treatment, showed for the first time that this infection can attack the human central nervous system, causing symptoms of encephalitis.
The presence of furin enzymes on all cell surfaces cleaves and activates this infection in a wide range of tissues and organs. Activated infection then unleashes NLRP3 inflammasomes, initiating a flurry of immune reactions that can result in deadly cytokine storms."
As the name implies, inflammasomes are part of your natural immune response that senses the presence of pathogens and other factors that could pose a threat. When a pathogen is detected, inflammasomes are activated and start releasing proinflammatory cytokines.
The inflammasome NLRP3, specifically, has been identified as a key culprit in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and acute lung injury, both of which are potential outcomes of this infection.21
The cytokine storm associated with this infection appears to be due to the virus' ability to stimulate your immune response via viroporins, virally-encoded ion channel proteins that in turn trigger the activation of NLRP3 inflammasomes. As explained by Loh, the more functional a v. viroporins are, the greater its viral replication rate and subsequent pathogenesis.
Is Elevated Melatonin Sparing Young Children from this infection?
As noted by Loh, the fatality rate of infection increases linearly with age, with patients over the age of 80 having the highest death rate.22,23,24 As of yet, the explanation for why children are less likely to contract the infection or show symptoms even when they are infected,25 is unknown.
Loh, however, raises the possibility that it might have something to do with melatonin production. She cites research showing melatonin production peaks in early childhood, steadily dropping once puberty hits. By the time you're in your late 50s, melatonin production drops to negligible levels.
"What does melatonin have to do with this infection?" Loh asks. The answer is that melatonin helps inhibit NLRP3 inflammasomes.
"The fact that the pro-inflammatory cytokine storm effects are induced by the activation of NLRP3 inflammasomes, the ability of melatonin to INHIBIT NLRP3 inflammasome elevates this powerful molecule to a truly unique position in the fight against this infection," Loh writes.26
"This also means that if a patient, regardless of age, has adequate melatonin, the infectiousness will be greatly reduced, and the chances of developing ARDS/ALI significantly diminished."
In her article, Loh references a number of scientific articles to support her claims. Aside from studies showing melatonin inhibits damage associated with sepsis, studies have also shown it can counteract severe inflammation and "markedly reduce pulmonary injury [and] lower infiltration of macrophages and neutrophils into lungs … by inhibiting the activation of NLRP3 inflammasomes," thus protecting against acute lung injury.
Melatonin levels are also doubled in the third trimester of pregnancy compared to the first trimester,27,28 which may help explain why pregnant women infected with infections and their babies have gotten by fairly unscathed. A 2020 rodent study29 even demonstrated that melatonin can help protect against lung injury caused by mechanical ventilation intervention.
"The full therapeutic potential of melatonin in its ability to modulate the immune system, especially the critical function of suppressing cytokine storms to prevent progression of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and respiratory failure in infected patients was clearly demonstrated in a study by Huang et al. (2019).
Huang et al. infected rodents with the highly lethal and infectious H1N1 influenza A virus. Co-treatment of these infected rodents with melatonin and an antiviral drug significantly increased their survival rates compared to mice treated only with antivirals alone," Loh writes.
The role of NLRP3 inflammasomes in infection also adds support for the use of ascorbic acid (vitamin C), as ascorbic acid has been shown to inhibit NLRP3 Inflammasomes in a dose-dependent fashion by scavenging reactive oxygen species in the mitochondria.30,31
"Thus, the combined use of melatonin and ascorbic acid may prove to be most effective in the treatment for patients, especially those with cardiovascular and hypertension comorbidities," Loh suggests.32
Avoid ACE Inhibitors During this infection Outbreak
Nutrients and drugs that might be best avoided during this outbreak are those that inhibit angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE). What's the problem with ACE inhibitors? As explained by Loh, ACE inhibitors increase expression of ACE2, and this infects host cells by binding to ACE2 receptors found on epithelial cells in your lungs, intestines, kidneys and blood vessels.33
ACE inhibitors, i.e., medications that relax and dilate your blood vessels, are commonly prescribed for high blood pressure, certain types of heart failure, stroke prevention and for the prevention and treatment of kidney disease. These drugs work by inhibiting the specific isoform of ACE, ACE1. As a consequence, ACE2 is upregulated. This is problematic with regard to this infection, because the v. gains entry to infect cells specifically via the ACE2 protein acting as a receptor.
Loh cites research34 published in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine suggesting that taking an ACE inhibitor, be it a medication or a nutritional supplement, may worsen your risk of v. infection and your risk of complications.
"Melatonin, nitric oxide and ascorbic acid (vitamin C) are all inextricably intertwined and deeply involved with ACE2," Loh writes.35
"Melatonin, nitric oxide and ascorbic acid can reduce Viral virulence by inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasomes to stop the perpetuation of cytokine storms. Their critical roles in biochemical reactions and biological pathways that involve ACE2 must be fully explored as part of our fight against this infection."

Diagnosing autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) can be difficult, since there is no medical test, like a blood test, to diagnose the disorders. Doctors look at the child's behaviour and development to make a diagnosis.
If you think your child may have ASD and you want to get a diagnosis, the first person to approach is your GP (or in the case of young children, you can also approach your Public Health Nurse).
When you go to see your GP or Public Health Nurse, you might like to take along a list of behaviours and characteristics that make you think your child has ASD. This can be a good prompt during your appointment, ensuring that you talk about all the things that concern you. Remember you know your child best and make sure your concerns are investigated.
Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services for children (generally of ages 6 and older). In County Galway and Roscommon services for assessment and care of children with autism spectrum diagnosis is the Autistic Spectrum Disorder Team based in the Primary Care Unit in Athenry, County Galway.
Or he/she may recommend you apply for Assessment of Need under the Disability Act.
The process of diagnosis will vary depending on where you live.
In some areas, multi-disciplinary teams carry out assessments. The teams are made up of several professionals including, for example, a clinical psychologist, a psychiatrist and a speech and language therapist. The professionals assess your child separately and their findings are then brought together by the team leader to inform the diagnosis. This may mean you need to go for several appointments some time apart.
In other areas, you may only see one professional and it's important that they have experience of diagnosing ASD.
The people who assess your child may use a variety of diagnostic 'tools', checklists and observations in order to make their diagnosis. During the assessment(s), you should be given plenty of time to ask questions. Don't be afraid to ask for explanations or clarification if you need them.
Sometimes you'll receive a diagnostic report (which is the formal diagnosis) at the end of your child's assessment. At other times it is typed up and sent in the post. If this is the case, you might have to wait a while before the report arrives.
Ideally, you'll get a detailed report containing both the diagnostician's findings and recommendations for support.
It's particularly important that your child's diagnosis is clearly stated. Phrases such as 'has autistic tendencies', which are sometimes used, are not very helpful because they imply that a child does not have ASD. This can cause problems when trying to access ASD-specific support.
Diagnostic reports can be difficult to read and understand in places. They may use language that diagnosticians are familiar with but that you might not be. You can call the diagnostician to talk through any parts of the reports that you aren't clear about.
If your child has an autism spectrum disorder (ASD), getting a diagnosis can be a positive thing. It means you have an explanation for some of the difficulties your child may be experiencing, and it also gives you access to services and support.
In the area of disability services within the HSE are ungoing a lot of change at present so information may change and is for guideline purposes only.
In general, children under age 6 being assessed for autism or have a diagnosis are looked after by the Early Intervention Services or Primary Community Care Services depending on their pathway of referral.
School age children who have a diagnosis of Autism, being referred on from Early Intervention services or awaiting assessment alone since January 2013 in the County Galway and Roscommon Area, are usually referred onwards to the Autism Spectrum Disorder Team based in the Primary Care Centre Athenry County Galway.
Children with a diagnosis of Autism and a Physical Disability are usually referred onto Enable Ireland.
Children with a diagnosis of Autism and an Intellectual Disability are usually referred onto the Brothers of Charity.

A few weeks ago, we walked through the process of creating an Oracle Container Cloud Service Instance. Since then, "Oracle announced today that it is collaborating with Docker to release its flagship databases, middleware and developer tools into the Docker Store marketplace via the Docker Certification Program." You can read more about that here. A quick search at the Docker Store for Oracle reveals a number of Oracle products.
You will notice Oracle Weblogic Server is one our options. Let's deploy that one.
The first thing we need to make sure that our Container Cloud Service can authenticate to the Docker Store.
Select the Registries link from the side navigation and click the New Registry button. If you already have the Docker Store entry, you can skip these next couple of steps and get right to the deployment process.
Then, define a new Registry definition for the Docker Store. Set the URL to: index.docker.io/store and add your Docker credentials for email, username and password. Click the "Validate" button to test the connection. Then "Save" your new registry entry.
Now that we can connect to the Docker Store from the Container Console Registries setup, open a new browser and log into the Docker Store and search for Oracle.
Click on Weblogic Server to add it to your Content by accepting the license agreement.
Click the "Setup" button to get instructions on how to deploy this Weblogic Image.
Take note of the entry I have circled. You will need this shortly, but now we need to get back to your Container Console.
On Step 2, copy and paste this "docker run -d -p 7001:7001 store/oracle/weblogic:12.2.1.2" into the "Create Your Own Service" box and click "Add". This command will basically launch your Weblogic Service and expose it to port 7001. Your newly added service will be highlighted and you can click "Next".
After a few minutes, your Deployments screen will hopefully look like the image below.
With a successful deployment, we need to gather a couple of additional bits of information so we can log into the Weblogic Server.
If you have made it this far, you are now ready to test connection to Weblogic Server deployed in the Oracle Cloud Container Service. Now you can access the AdminServer Web Console at: http://<public_ip_address>:7001/console, and using the weblogic/password information.


Anthony Davis dazzles in L.A., possibly giving fans preview of a coming attraction.
Call to LeBron James proves Kyrie Irving's focus is on winning.
Rumors indicate Butler will re-sign with the Philadelphia 76ers. Offensively, Davis is not an incredibly prolific scorer at this stage, only ranking 52nd in points per-40 minutes pace adjusted out of the 84 NCAA players currently in our top 100 prospects. They do not store directly personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. He is focused on his game and plans to reach greater heights in his career. It's unlikely that the Lakers will just give in, however. If New Orleans is watching with any idea of a future trade of Anthony Davis, they may not see a lot that Los Angeles can offer. Without their veterans on the floor, the Lakers have obviously struggled. Raj Mehta, USA TODAY Sports Fullscreen Dec. 22: Warriors forward Jonas Jerebko (21) strikes an odd pose on a drive to the hoop past Mavericks defender DeAndre Jordan (6) during the second half at Oracle Arena. Many of parents' natural instincts are also natural painkillers. David Levine Jan. 11, 2019 Feeding Tube Placement Feeding tubes help patients get enough nutrition when they can't eat or drink adequately on their own. Elaine K. Howley Jan. 11, 2019 Patient Experience in Specialty Rankings HCAHPS data will be incorporated into the methodology, and PSIs will be retired. Kawhi Leonard and Jimmy Butler are two stars who didn't net their teams many future assets in trades. Thus, Davis's height can be attributed to his genes. Coach Alvin Gentry didn't have to say his team wasn't trading Davis — something he did in December when New Orleans visited to face the Lakers. Dan Hamilton, USA TODAY Sports Fullscreen Dec. 31: Thunder forward Paul George (13) and Mavericks forward Dorian Finney-Smith (10) fight for a rebound during the first half in Oklahoma City. He looked to take a shot below the belt from Stephen Curry in the final minutes.
Nets Survive Huge Game by Anthony Davis to Beat Pelicans Anthony Davis responds to LeBron James' open recruitment.
Only the Milwaukee Bucks, on Nov. 21, have attempted more shots in a non-overtime game this season. "When you spot a team that wants to run and you give them offensive rebounds and you turn the ball over," Rivers said, "it's going to be tough to beat them and it was tonight." Rivers was frustrated that his team was "flat" at the start and didn't turn a close game into a victory at the end but was heartened by the third-quarter burst of scoring that prevented a Pelicans rout. Maybe James' fulsome praise of Davis was simply to get it out there. There's nothing to do about James and Davis sharing the same agent, as it's common for NBA players to share agents. Davis' off-court earnings got a boost with a multi-year contract extension with Nike ahead of the 2017-18 season. The Pelicans rallied with 12 straight points to cut the lead in half, and the Nets were ahead 73-58 at the break. Sliwa and other suggest that down deep, this is bothering James — as he thinks about the future of the franchise. While the veterans have been out with injuries, players such as Lonzo Ball and Brandon Ingram have not stepped up to keep the team winning. If you make a deep playoff run and these guys are contributing, that's when their value is going to be at its highest." If it does, they're going to dissect and analyze every single interested team — and what can be offered to them in return. He added another almost two minutes later for a 20-point bulge, and the lead grew to 24 points later in the quarter.

Get rid of your terrible diet – Wow, when I went home I ate so bad, it was insane. I mean terrible, and I think that my skin really reacted to this because I eat pretty healthy on the regular. I know you all have heard it time and time again, but what you're putting into your body truly does effect the outer parts of you. First step in taking care of your skin is making sure you're paying attention to the foods you're consuming.
Clean your dirty makeup brushes – I fall guilty with not doing this very often, but think about it. So much old product is on those brushes, along with dead skin cells. Clean the brushes sis. You'll feel better and your skin will thank you.
Clean your dirty sheets and pillowcases – Don't lay in dirtiness. This is basically the same as having dirty makeup brushes EXCEPT you have oils from your hair damaging your skin as well. You should change your sheets/pillowcases at least once every two weeks. Also, invest in a silk/satin pillow case. Not only does it help your hair, but it helps your skin as well.
Wash your hands before washing your face – This is an easy one to do, but a hard one to remember. Sometimes we just want to go right into our skincare routine, but sis you have to wash those hands first. Cleanse your hands before you cleanse your face!
Pay attention to the label – We look on YouTube or at our favorite beauty gurus and want to use all of the products that they're using, but is it right for your skin? Pay attention to the labels and how your skin reacts to certain products. There was this one time I was so excited to try this Soap and Glory face wash, only to find out that it irritated my skin. Do your research.
Decrease the soda/juice intake and increase the water – It's no doubt that water plays a huge role in not only healthier skin, but a healthier YOU. Challenge yourself to drink more water during the day and I'm sure you'll feel yourself glowing.
Decrease the stress and overthinking and increase the sleep & positive vibes – When you treat your body right, it shows. Stop stressing over the things you can't change and go to sleep, girl. When you exude positive vibes you look and feel great!
What are some of your skincare tips? Comment below!

The Faceless Ones
Starring: Patrick Troughton, Anneke Wills, Michael Craze & Frazer Hines
By: Malcolm Hulke & David Ellis
Review: Brilliance yet again... Read more (2 in total)
Used: £5.17
Note: Subsequently remastered and re-released as part of The Lost TV Episodes: Collection Four box set. Audio soundtrack of the 1967 Patrick Troughton TV story, with linking narration by Frazer Hines — not to be confused with the audiobook reading of the same story, released in 2019.
PATRICK TROUGHTON STARS AS THE DOCTOR IN THIS EXCLUSIVE RECORDING OF A 'LOST' TELEVISION ADVENTURE, WITH LINKING NARRATION BY FRAZER HINES
'Inspector Gascoigne was murdered with a ray gun. A weapon that has not yet been developed on this Earth!'
The TARDIS makes a hazardous return to 1960s Earth, materialising on a runway at Gatwick Airport! The Doctor and his friends realise that all is not well when Polly witnesses a murder, and then both she and Ben vanish. The authorities refuse to take the matter seriously — but when Polly reappears, why does she claim not to recognise her friends?
Aided by the plucky Samantha Briggs, and helped and hindered by Inspector Crossland of Scotland Yard and the airport Commandant, the Doctor and Jamie piece together a number of clues. A sequence of mysterious events seems to centre around Chameleon Tours, whose package holidays are designed to entice young people to foreign shores. Just how far-flung are the horizons they offer, and why are none of their passengers coming back? Who are the faceless ones, and what hideously deformed creatures are involved in the operations being conducted at the airport medical centre?
The Doctor believes there's a connection between Chameleon Tours and the odd behaviour of key airport personnel — but in seeking to prove his theory, and rescue Ben and Polly, he becomes embroiled in a plot to steal the identities of thousands of young people.

Samsung Has Already Received Record Pre-Orders for Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge
by Meenakshi RawatMarch 9, 2015
The two newest flagship smartphones by Samsung, the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 Edge, seems to be the much needed ray of sunlight for the South Korean electronics manufacturer. The company is still to announce its launch date, but the phones have already established a record even before its release. According to The Korea Times, Samsung has received record orders of 20 million for the Galaxy S6 and the curvy Galaxy S6 Edge.
The international publishing daily put forth the detailed pre-order numbers of the two devices saying 15 million of S6 have been booked through mobile carriers and the edgy S6 Edge are demanded as much as 5 million.
The company hasn't commented anything on the issue, but if the figures are true then the company may soon regain the top position in the smartphone market. The 20 million pre-orders is a good start for the company and it seems like the demand will keep increasing post the launch. However, the handsets have not reached the end consumers until now. Once it rolls out for the buyers, it will then become clear if the demand has matched the supply.
In case you missed the hands-on video of the S6 and S6 Edge, check out the clip below:

There is incredible momentum in the Unity3D product and its community. Here is a look at key announcements.
Site Features – I'm incredibly impressed with Unity3d.com's training section. The scope of coverage is large and the price (free), quality, and consistency of the material is unparalleled from any game development platform I've seen. Obviously more content will be rolled out over time.
Product Features – Unity is currently at a very stable and capable version 4.x. What new features could be announced next?
Targets – Unity is agressive in its strategy to offer developers the most compelling platforms on which to publish content. While XBox One will likely be announced, others targets may surprise us.
Pricing – Unity has shifted wildly (and favorably) in its pricing structure. While the current options seem pretty complete, history shows us that more changes are very likely.

Several people have asked me how they can learn about Augmented Reality and Augmented Reality books. Below is a summary of what is involved, how computer vision works for the layperson, a commentary on the types of books that will be augmented, and a list of related resources.
Augmented reality overlays video onto camera-captured video in such a way that the computer-generated objects appear to have an absolute location in the real world or relative to a real world object like a page in a book. In the case of a book, the augmented reality app uses the mobile device camera to display an overlay video superimposed over the corresponding illustration in the book.
Video or 3D model overlays that are superimposed over the footage coming from the mobile device's camera.
A Content Management System that matches marker images with video overlays, and is used to place the overlays with respect to the markers.
An Augmented reality enabled app that is loaded with the marker images and overlays. It also contains any logic or rules-based structures which define potential interactions with the overlays.
A mobile device with a camera through which the augmented reality app can search footage for marker images. Ideally, the device has a light that can be used as a flashlight to illuminate the marker images in dim light.
Image recognition middleware which interprets the footage from the mobile device camera, determines when marker images are being triggered and how to integrate virtual objects into the display stream.
The display streams the merged footage of the camera and the overlays back to the user. A cell phone appears like a "porthole" or "magic mirror" into the augmented world of the book, while a wearable display can provide total immersion.
To operate the augmented reality book, the user starts the app and points the camera view at illustrations in the book. The app attempts to match the images shown in the camera view with the database of markers. When a match is found, the app retrieves the overlay corresponding to the marker that was found and the overlay's placement with respect to the marker from the database. The app sends the overlay to the display, which is placed as specified over the illustration in the book with the marker, and streamed to the user along with the footage from the camera.
Key point detection: The bottleneck in instance-level recognition systems – involves mathematical operations to detect corners and blobs – regions where discontinuities occur and thus can carry a lot, if not all, of the image information. Corners are regions in an image that are sharply different from their immediate neighboring regions. Blobs are regions darker or brighter than it's surrounding region. In instance-level recognition, only these regions are further processed. Dominant orientation direction can also be extracted to make the recognition process rotation-invariant. The scale-space approach makes the process scale-invariant. Using greyscale markers and adding a greyscale filter on the camera footage prior to key point detection makes the process hue-invariant.
Descriptor extraction: Descriptors are small patches around the key point, that are extracted in way that introduce tolerance to distortions and illumination issues of the scene. The number of such points/descriptors is typically between 100 and 2,000 per image depending on its complexity, thus it is important to find matching descriptors quickly between a database and the observed scene.
Matching and verification: Once matches are found, those that are not strictly consistent with a particular model of the scene/object are filtered out, based on the probability of object presence. Thus this stage determines whether the marker is actually present in the illustration or not.
Any book can be augmented and all can benefit from augmentation. Books with illustrations can have both image and text markers. Image recognition is used for image markers and optical character recognition is used for text markers. I anticipate that many types of books will be augmented with image markers and video or 3D model overlays such as textbooks, non-fiction books, recipe books, coffee table books, children's books, graphic novels, comic books, and magazines. Businesses will augment their catalogs as well. Books without illustrations have text markers. I anticipate that these books will have the ability to make virtual highlights, make notes and comments, and have conversations. They may also have audio and/or interactive visual overlays.
The early adopters are likely to be children's books, recipe books, non-fiction, and catalogs.
Here are some fun and informative pages.
