Telltale's FABLES game - The Wolf Among Us

Telltale, the developers of the hit aventure game adaptation of 'The Walking Dead' had revealed earlier in the year that they were developing a game based on the FABLES comic books by Bill Willingham. We were informed that the game itself would not bear the 'FABLES' title, perhaps I'd guess to avoid confusion with Peter Molyneux's FABLE games on the Xbox consoles. But we at last know what the game will be called and something about it. The final title was revealed to be 'The Wolf Among us' starring, you guessed it... Bigby Wolf! The game takes place prior to the start of the comics with Bigby trying to keep the exiled Fabletown denizens in order.


I'm no grammar teacher, but wouldn't it actually be correct to say 'The Wolf Amongst Us'? Maybe some of you literary enthusiasts can inform me. But certainly if you're looking for a literary classic made out of other literary classics, then I highly recommend checking out FABLES, which we now have some nice deluxe hardcover editions of that still have James Jean's wraparound cover art! It's too bad James Jean isn't involved with the game, then the teaser image above would look more like this...


Now that's an adventure!

Hot Drinks Prevent Stroke?

Drinking hot beverages in the morning, whether it's tea or coffee, a part of the daily routine of many people. Simple habits turned out to help us reduce the risk of stroke.

A study of 83,000 people in Japan showed that those who frequently drank green tea or coffee per day had a risk of stroke 20 percent lower. Even the protective effect against certain types of stroke is greater.


Hot Drinks Prevent Stroke?
 
"If you can not change your lifestyle, try to prevent stroke by regularly drinking green tea every day," said Dr.Yoshihiro Kokubo of National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center, Osaka, Japan.

Although it was not clear why coffee and tea had the effect of preventing stroke, but according to Kokubo it may be associated with the ingredients in these drinks that keep blood clots.


In addition, green tea contains catechins, which have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Some of the substances in coffee, such as chlorogenic acid also reduces the risk of stroke by lowering the risk of diabetes mellitus.

The content of caffeine in coffee also have an effect on cholesterol levels and blood pressure. It also led to changes in insulin sensitivity that affect blood sugar.

Even so, according to Dr.Ralph Sacco, a former American Heart Association priseden, such as the type of research conducted Kokubo can not accurately ascertain whether the reduction in stroke risk was indeed derived from the consumption of coffee and tea.

"The link is visible from such studies are limited in their ability to indicate whether content in coffee, tea, or indeed the lifestyle of the respondents who have a protective effect," says Sacco.

"I want to emphasize that we are not trying to replace the existing vaccine that actually works well," said Professor Stephen as reported by the BBC correspondent in Sydney, Phil Mercer.

Other viral infections

"The problem with the existing vaccine is the virus could change, so we are looking for is value added to existing vaccines so that we can produce not only antibodies but also immune T-cell immunity wider if the virus changes without our knowledge," added Professor Stephen .

In addition to potentially generate a universal vaccine, these findings may also reveal a better understanding of immune white blood cells against viral infections, including HIV and hepatitis C.

Every year recorded between three and five million cases of severe flu. The virus is killing 500,000 people per year worldwide.
