With the release of Street Fighter V, it's time to look back at the comic books that have expanded the tales of our favorite warriors.
There's no better time to look back at Street Fighter comics than the present. The latest installment of the fighting franchise, Street Fighter V, has finally arrived and there's even a new comic book from UDON. And it's definitely not the first. You could say that the series has as expansive a history in the comics as it does on consoles.In various forms, Street Fighter has been released across the last two decades in different levels of quality. Ever since the popularity of Street Fighter II, the inclusion of it into any kind of adaptation has been a no-brainer. Not only was it one of the most popular games of the 90's, but its world and characters are only half-defined and there's creative freedom in that. You have a huge cast of names who are identified by just their appearances, gestures, a handful of quotes, several paragraphs of backstory, and an ending cutscene. Considering the video games are constantly redefining themselves (ie. how the Street Fighter Alpha games feel so different from the Street Fighter III games), there are always new characters to incorporate and old characters to revisit. read more =http://www.denofgeek.us/books-comics/street-fighter/235222/the-strange-history-of-street-fighter-comics
Fungi from goats' guts could lead to better biofuels
The scientists say that in tests, the fungi performed as well as the best engineered attempts from industry.
The study has been published in the journal, Science.
Fuel from food
Environmentalists have long criticised the current generation of biofuels that are produced from crops, such as maize, as they believe that using land for fuel instead of food drives up prices and impacts the poor.Researchers have had some success making usable fuel from food and animal waste. But, so far, the ability to efficiently use the vast majority of cheap, waste organic material has eluded them.
The problem with turning wood chips and grasses into fuel is the matrix of complex molecules found in the cell walls of these tough materials.
Industrial attempts to break these down into the type of sugars that can be refined for fuel often require preheating or treatment with chemicals, which add to the complexity and the cost.read more =http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-35612554

Holsworthy couple feel isolated by poor transport links
By NDJJoe | Posted: February 11, 2016
Mark, 53, and Enid Raines, 59, find getting around difficult due to Enid's health problems
A MARRIED couple from Holsworthy say they feel isolated in their own home due to poor transport links in the town.
Mark, 53, and Enid Raines, 59, find getting around difficult due to Enid's health problems and the lack of public transport links.
But Devon County Council says the funding for public transport in Holsworthy has not been reduced and there are now extra bus journeys available to the health centre and hospital.
Family has questions for hospital after North Devon man, 45, takes his own life
Has the world’s rarest spider been discovered in Devon?
Enid struggles with her breathing and knees making it difficult to walk even a short distance.
She has to book a car from the Holsworthy Rural Community Transport Service in order to get to doctors' appointments in town and these cars must be booked well in advance.
For former mental health worker Mark it is about more than just getting to doctors' appointments.
He said: "When Enid could walk more things were a lot easier but now it's more difficult to get to appointments because of the notice you have to give.
"If an urgent doctor's appointment was booked in for the same day we wouldn't be able to make it.
"If I wanted to take my wife out for the day as a treat we'd really struggle to do it. Taxis are prohibitively expensive
and difficult to get hold of.
He added: "The buses come very rarely and only really go to Bideford or Barnstaple."
Mark is aware there will be others in the same position.
He is hoping by speaking out others will feel more confident in coming forward with their complaints.
Holsworthy mayor John Allen has acknowledged there is a problem with transport links in the town, for which he blames county council cuts.
He said: "The area is suffering from the severe cut backs imposed on us by Devon County Council.
"It's affecting people who want to visit the town as well as residents wanting to leave.
"Often the problem is you can get somewhere but can you get back? However, I do understand the county council has faced tough choices after recent government cut backs."
Mr Allen is pleased with the work of the Holsworthy Rural Community Transport Service but says the service is limited by its ability to find funds.
A spokesman for Devon County Council said: "The council has not reduced its funding for public transport in the Holsworthy town area, and we are now in fact funding extra bus journeys to the health centre and hospital.
"In addition, the amount of funding that we give to local voluntary car schemes has also increased in the past two years."
Holsworthy's county councillor, Barry Parsons, said he knew some time ago transport links in Holsworthy were going to be put under strain.
He said: "What we have tried to do is put some more capacity into our transport links with schemes like the rural transport service.
"We always knew our links would be for the chopping block."
A spokesman for Stagecoach, which operates buses in the area, said: "Stagecoach already provides bus services between Holsworthy and destinations across Devon including Barnstaple, Okehampton and Exeter.
"Devon County Council subsidise a number of these – as well as other bus services in the area – as they have a responsibility to ensure that socially necessary services are provided.
"The current usage level of bus services in Holsworthy would not support any enhancements without additional financial support from the council to cover the running costs."
