[App Review] Fallout Shelter: Be The Savior In Post-Apocalyptic World.

[App Review] Fallout Shelter: Be The Savior In Post-Apocalyptic World.

I hope you all are having a great time at the realme community. Have you ever imagined yourself in a position where the lives of numerous peoples depend upon your decision and strength of decision making; If yes, then I got a game named ‘Fallout Shelter’ that can simulate this scenario for you. For those who may be out of the loop, Fallout Shelter is Bethesda’s latest mobile game, based on the popular Fallout franchise that has thrived for over a decade. Let’s know more about the features of this amazing game.


In Fallout Shelter, you assume the role of a vault overseer. As the overseer, it’s your job to grow the vault, both in population and in size. There are several rooms that you can build and every room has a specific purpose that works symbiotically with the other rooms. Seriously, this game is the most addicting I have played since Flappy Bird. You can think of this game as a cooler version of The Sims, with a touch of Sim City. You have to oversee the building of an underground vault, where your dwellers will spend all their time. Let’s get deep into features of this game.



Features


Storyline

The story is very simple and very similar to that of all other Fallout titles. The world has gone to hell and people are struggling to survive in a post-apocalyptic world full of radiation. It’s hard to live out there, and this is where you come into play as the overseer of a vault. You need a generator room to create power. You need a water treatment room to provide water. You need a diner to provide food for your residents and you need barracks to house your vault dwellers. You cannot focus on just one type of room. Every room you add increases the requirements for electricity, food, and water, so you’ll need to balance all the rooms.


Character Stats

The vault dwellers have stats that correspond to various other rooms. If you’re familiar with the Fallout series, then you’ll recognize the S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stats. Strength. The strength stat directly corresponds with the creation of electricity. By assigning vault dwellers with high strength to the generator rooms, they will produce electricity faster and more efficiently. Perception. Vault dwellers with a high perception do well in the water treatment rooms. Endurance. The higher the endurance, the longer your character can stay out in the wasteland and the longer they are in the wasteland, the better chances they will have to find more caps, weapons, and outfits. Charisma. When your dwellers have high charisma they are best suited for the radio room. Intelligence. Vault dwellers with high intelligence are best suited to making RadAway. Agility. A higher agility dweller should be used to make food. Luck. This stat helps out all around, but it’s speculated that it is best used for exploring the wasteland.


Training Rooms

Raising the above-mentioned stats will not only help you fend off infestations and attackers, but it will also make your dwellers more productive, depending on which rooms they are assigned to. For example, characters with more strength will perform better in power generators. Likewise, having more perception will improve your water production. But what if none of your characters are any good? This is where training rooms come into play. Assigning your dwellers to a weight room will make them stronger. Sending them to the athletics room will make them more agile. Furthermore, the classroom will raise intelligence, the game room will increase luck, and so on. Just leave them there and train them until they reach your desired level, then send them back to work and you will be outputting resources in a jiffy.


Fight For Life

Living in this post-apocalyptic vault is not all joy. It doesn’t matter if your economy is thriving, there are risks out there, so you must keep your dwellers strong and well-armed. For starters, infestations can pop out at any time. And though these used to be only Radroaches, the latest update adds Molerats to the equation. Your residents will have to fight them off or die trying. Infestations and fires can occur at any time, but they usually happen when you unsuccessfully attempt to rush production on a room. We can’t dismiss outside dangers, either. Raiders show up and break into your vault from time to time. They will try to take your resources and caps.

Verdict

Fallout Shelter has applied the perfect elements to keep you hooked. It is a highly addictive game. Like every good mobile title, Fallout Shelter never really ends. You can keep expanding your vault and there is always something more to do. In addition, the occasional surprises keep you on your toes. It also helps that it’s a very complex game with very clear chain results. This means you get some kind of satisfaction out of formulating the best strategy.

Drunk Driver Puts Car In Reverse At Red Light, Hits Officer’s Cruiser: Cleveland Heights Police Blotter

At 12:45 a.M. Jan. 26, an officer was parked in a lot when he saw a car approach that did not have its headlights activated. The officer drove behind the car and watched as it pulled into the middle of an intersection before stopping for a red light. The car then was put into reverse and, although the officer blew his car’s horn, the other car crashed into the front of the cruiser. A traffic stop was made. Two women were inside the car and said they had just come from a bar, but said they had not had anything to drink. The officer smelled the odor of alcohol on the driver. The driver went on to fail field sobriety tests and was found to have a blood-alcohol content of .154, above the state minimum for drunk driving of .08. Police charged the woman with OVI, failure to stop at a red light, and driving under suspension. Disorderly conduct: Beechwood Avenue At 6:40 p.M. Jan. 25, police were called to a home where a woman told officers that her son, 22, had come to her home, began drinking alcohol, then argued with family members. Because of his behavior, the woman asked her son to leave. As he left, the man kicked and damaged the home’s front door. An officer found the man a short distance away, walking in the street. The man smelled of alcohol and yelled profanities as he was arrested. An open container of alcohol was found in his pocket. Police charged the man with disorderly conduct-intoxication and having an open container, and cited him for walking in the roadway. It was additionally found that the man was wanted on a Cleveland police warrant. The man refused to cooperate with Cleveland Heights police during the booking process and was soon, thereafter, turned over to Cleveland police. Warrant arrest: Edgehill Road At 7:15 p.M. Jan. 23, a boy called police about being the victim of violence at his home. At the home, police spoke with the boy’s mother, who said her son had come home late from school and that she had asked him why. The woman said her son talked back to her in a disrespectful manner and tried to walk away. The woman said she held the boy’s jacket so he could not walk away. The boy then began to try to hit his mother, so she let go of his jacket and the boy went upstairs to call police. The boy showed police his bloody lip and said his mother “smashed his face into the ground.” Police questioned the boy’s account, and two witnesses did not corroborate his story about his mother causing the injury. As officers spoke to family members, it was learned that the mother was wanted by Cleveland Heights police on a warrant for fines owed. The boy was left in the custody of his older sister and the mother was arrested on the warrant. Police notified Cuyahoga County Children and Family Services about the incident. Warrant arrest: Vineshire Road At 2:55 a.M. Jan. 26, a frightened boy, 13, called police after hearing his mother and her boyfriend engaged in a heated argument. Officers arrived to find the boy crying. As police were speaking with the boy, his mother came down from the home’s second floor, followed by her boyfriend. The boyfriend was in an agitated state. Both the man and woman said they had been arguing, but that nothing physical had transpired. A check of the boyfriend’s record revealed that he was wanted on a Beachwood warrant for failure to appear in court to answer to a traffic offense, and by Highland Hills police for the same offense. Police arrested the man and arranged for the boy’s father to pick him up for the night. Assault: Lee Road At 9:40 a.M. Jan. 27, an employee of Zagara’s market, 1940 Lee Road, flagged down an officer. The man said he had been assaulted moments earlier by a man who was asking people for money at Zagara’s. When the employee told the suspect to leave or he would call police, the suspect responded, “Get out of my face or I’ll punch you.” The employee again asked the man to leave, and the suspect punched the employee in the face, then ran. Another employee confirmed the first employee’s story. Police were initially unable to locate the suspect. Two days later, at 11 a.M., however, an officer spotted a man matching the description of the suspect at Yorkshire and Lee roads. That suspect was later positively identified by the victim. Police arrested the suspect, 31, and charged him with assault. Warrant arrest: Superior Road At 7:05 p.M. Jan. 27, police were called to an apartment building on a report that approximately five male suspects -- occupants of two different units -- were fighting. As officers arrived, they encountered a man with a swollen eye and bloody mouth and nose standing in front of the building. The man said he had been involved in a fight and that his friend had punched him in the face. He said he did not want to pursue charges against his friend. Police asked the man his name, but he would not provide it or his date of birth. The man did tell police his Social Security number, but after he did so, he ran. After a foot chase, police apprehended the man in a ravine north of Monticello Boulevard. It was learned that the man was wanted on a Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s Office warrant for assault on a police officer. After being taken to the hospital for treatment of his asthma, police charged the man with obstructing official business, then turned him over to the county on the warrant.

    How Bloggers Can Improve Their Team’s Task Estimates

    If you’re a blogger who works with a team on projects, such as for a website redesign or enhancement, you may often find that your task estimates are way off – you’re not alone. Studies have shown that most people are terrible at estimating the amount of time that it takes to do something. But there are ways that teams can improve their task estimates. Here are a few tips.
    First, Break the Task Down Into Its Primary Components
    How long does it take to shop for groceries? You might say “about an hour.” But then break it down into individual components, and you might get a different answer: it takes 20 minutes to drive there, 30 minutes to shop, 10 minutes to get through the checkout, and 20 minutes to get back. That’s an hour and 20 minutes!
    Breaking a task down gives you a more accurate picture of how long everything takes. It’s the same with project costing. You don’t always know how much something is going to cost until you’ve broken it down into component parts.
    Take a Look at How You’ve Performed in the Past
    Everyone wants to assume that they’re going to do a task in an ideal amount of time, but that isn’t always true. Going back to the
    grocery store analogy, looking back at your previous behaviors might mean that you take 3 hours to do the grocery shopping. That’s a huge amount of time. What’s the difference? Well, maybe there’s always traffic when you go shopping. Maybe it just takes you longer to shop than you think.
    Looking back at past task performance usually reveals issues and risk factors that people tend to assume isn’t going to happen. Bug crushing in software development, for instance, usually takes far longer than people think that it will.
    Get Your Team On-Board
    Reach out to your team when preparing estimates. If they’re doing the work, they know how long it will take to get it done. Pay attention to the estimates that your team members provide and make a note regarding how accurate they tend to be. One of the major issues with estimating a team-based project is that there are often inconsistent results from team member to team member.

    It’s always better to under-promise and over-deliver. Leave yourself a small amount of buffer so you can compensate for anything unexpected that comes up. While you don’t want to state that a task is going to take you tremendously long (especially if it’s fairly trivial), you should aim to undershoot rather than overshoot your mark.
    Consider a 3 Point Estimate
    This is a little complicated but here’s how it works. You take your best case, your worst case, and your most likely estimate. Then you use the following algorithm:
    (Best + Worst + (4 * Most Likely)) / 6
    This means that your most likely estimation is included 4 times, but your best and worst estimates are only included once each. Let’s go back to grocery shopping. You now know that your most likely is 80 minutes, but your best case scenario is 60 minutes. And if the traffic is really, really bad, you can imagine it taking you up to 100 minutes.
    (60 + 100 + (4 * 80)) / 6 = 80
    So even though your best and worst times diverge, you can still estimate that the project is probably going to take about 80 minutes.
    Be Consistent About Your Estimates
    Regardless of how you’re estimating your tasks, you should be consistent. All your tasks should be estimated in the same way. You’ll be able to see easily whether your task estimates need to be adjusted across the board, or whether there are certain tasks that always seem to take you a little longer than they should.
    Task estimation is incredibly important, but people do get better at it the more experience they have. If your team is currently faltering in their project estimates, it’s likely that you just need to create more rigid processes regarding how these estimates are derived. Over time, you’ll be able to narrow down to the issues holding your accuracy back.

    How to write a paragraph describing her personality who is a fashion blogger?

    Employee bios on the company website highlight the staff's qualifications. Information about the employees gives customers a sense of trust in their abilities and expertise. A well-crafted bio needs to remain professional yet engaging so website visitors want to keep reading. Get employees involved in writing their own bios for a personal touch.
    Format
    A website bio should be short and informational. Leave out the extra details that bog down the personal description. Website visitors are unlikely to read a long bio of several paragraphs. An introductory paragraph with a bullet list of major points provides a user-friendly format that visitors can scan and read quickly. If you don't want to mess with bullet points, break the information down into short paragraphs.
    Voice
    A professional tone in the bio is key to establishing trust with potential customers. Professionalism doesn't have to mean boring. Allow the personality of the individual employees and the company as a whole filter into the bios. For example, if you describe your company as a cutting-edge industry leader, inject that tone into the bios. If humor is a part of your company culture, write the website bios with humorous descriptions.
    Content
    The professional qualifications, skills and achievements of the employee make up the bulk of the bio content. The purpose is to highlight the expertise of the employee to show how he can assist customers. Include background on education and experience that qualifies the employee for her position. Add awards or major accomplishments in the industry. If you want to create a personal connection with website visitors, include some personal information for each employee. Contact information is often included in the bio so that website visitors can contact the employee directly.
    Revision
    Once the bio is completed, ask at least one other person to read through it to suggest revisions. Getting a new perspective helps you better identify parts of the bio that don't flow well, lack professionalism or sound boring. Read through all of the employee bios on your website every six months to ensure they are still accurate. Update new accomplishments, degrees and other professional achievements of each employee on the website bios. This keeps the website accurate and updated.

    Facebook's Rules For New Oversight Board Leave The Company Firmly In Control

    Facebook on Tuesday unveiled its proposed bylaws for the company's oversight board — a sort of "supreme court" that can theoretically overturn content moderation decisions — but it's filled with loopholes and binds Facebook to very little concrete action.
    Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg first announced the oversight board in November 2018 as the company weathered numerous scandals and criticism regarding its privacy and content moderation practices. During the run-up to the 2016 election, for instance, conservatives criticized the company for de-emphasizing certain news sources in its "trending" news section.
    In a blog post, Zuckerberg noted that Facebook has to make many decisions every day over whether to remove content that violates its policies on nudity, misinformation and other areas, but wrote that Facebook "should not make so many important decisions about free expression and safety on our own."
    The solution was supposed to be an independent board that would make final, binding decisions on whether to reinstate removed content, and explain its reasons for doing so.
    In a 46-page document released Tuesday, Facebook outlined the bylaws of that board, establishing its powers and its broad limitations. These bylaws make clear that Facebook is still firmly in control.
    For instance:
    Article 2: Section 1.2.1 -- The following types of content are not available for the board's review, unless reassessed in the future by Facebook:
    Content types: ​content posted through marketplace, fundraisers, Facebook dating, messages, and spam.
    Decision types:​ decisions made on reports involving intellectual property or pursuant to legal obligations.
    Services:​ content on WhatsApp, Messenger, Instagram Direct, and Oculus.
    This means the oversight board will be extremely limited in what pieces of content it will actually address, leaving out major pieces of the Facebook kingdom.
    Article 2: Section 1.3.1 -- Facebook will fund the trust upfront for at least six (6) years. It will review the annual reports prepared by the trust to determine the operational and procedural effectiveness of the board.
    In other words, Facebook can just let the board die after six years.
    Article 2: Section 2.3.1 -- Facebook will implement board decisions to allow or remove the content properly brought to it for review within seven (7) days of the release of the board's decision on how to action the content. In addition, Facebook will undertake a review to determine if there is identical content with parallel context associated with the board's decision that remains on Facebook. If Facebook determines that it has the technical and operational capacity to take action on that content as well, it will do so promptly.
    This means that the decisions made by the oversight board will, by default, apply narrowly to the specific piece of content that is being reviewed, and will not create any precedents that Facebook has to follow in the future for similar types of violations. The company retains final say on whether or not to broadly apply the decisions of the board.
    Article 5: Section 1 -- These bylaws may be amended only with the approval of a majority of the individual trustees and with the agreement of Facebook and a majority of the board.
    This means the board's members, trustees and Facebook have the ability to amend the bylaws as they please. Some bylaws require a two-thirds vote to be changed, but the document allows for quite a bit of editing.
    In some cases where the board and trustees vote to amend the bylaws in ways that could be unfavorable to Facebook, the bylaws state Facebook can agree to the changes "where it has determined that it is technically, operationally, and legally capable of doing so."
    In other words, Facebook may not be acting alone when it comes to removing content, but it's still firmly in control of its platform.
    The company also announced that Thomas Hughes, former executive director of human rights organization Article 19, will serve as the director of the oversight board administration. Facebook said it plans to announce board members and trustees in the coming months.

    Japan Box Office Leaps To $2.4 Billion Record In 2019

    The Japanese box office leaped by 17% in 2019 to set a record $2.4 billion score, according to figures announced Tuesday by the Motion Picture Producers Association of Japan, locally known as Eirin. The previous high was the $2.2 billion recorded in 2016.
    The Makoto Shinkai animation “Weathering with You” was the highest earning film among both local and foreign releases with a gross of $129 million.
    Local films took a majority share with 54% or $1.3 billion, while foreign films grabbed a 46% share or $1.1 billion. The market share split was little changed from 2018.
    Once again industry leader Toho accounted for the lion’s share of the box office, having handled seven of the top ten local films, including the period actioner “Kingdom” that it co-released with Sony. The other three were released by a resurgent Toei.
    Total admissions rose 15% to 195 million, outstripping the growth in the number of operational screens, which edged up from 3,561 the year before

    Hackers Target NFL, Teams’ Social Media Accounts

                                              
    The NFL today announced that hackers breached the league's social media accounts, and those belonging to about half of its teams, including Super Bowl contenders, the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers.
     The NFL's cybersecurity department took immediate action to secure its accounts after it learned Monday of the breaches and directed its teams to do the same to prevent "further unauthorized access." The attacks occurred on Sunday and Monday. NFL officials alerted the social media platforms along with law enforcement officials.
    "We continue to work diligently with the teams, which have resumed normal operations," according to an NFL statement. 
    A group of so-called "White Hat" hackers that operates under the name of "OurMine" markets its cybersecurity experts by exposing security flaws by hijacking social media accounts of the rich and famous. They also have "defaced" prominent websites such as The New York Times, BBC News, and CNN to spread their message,  ZDNet.Com reported.
    "The group said they'd take passwords leaked during data breaches at other services and attempt to use the same passwords to gain access to accounts on other websites," ZDNet says. "They often took credit for hacking online forums and other legitimate companies and then putting their data up for sale online — using the reputation they forged by hacking tech CEOs to boost their sales on underground forums."
    According to media reports, OurMine is a group of teenagers from Saudi Arabia. Coincidentally, OurMine falsely tweet from the Chicago Bears official account that an advisor to the Saudi Royal Family named Turki Al-Sheikh was the team's new owner. The tweet was news to the Bears' current owner Virginia McCaskey, whose father George Hallas founded the storied franchise a century ago. According to the Chicago Sun-Times, "There has been no indication whatsoever that the McCaskeys are considering selling the team."
    OurMine is responsible for the hacks of the social media accounts of celebrities such as actor Channing Tatum, rapper Drake and reality TV star/self-made billionaire Kylie Jenner along with tech CEOs, including Twitter's Jack Dorsey, Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, and Alphabet's Sundar Pichai. 
    It isn't clear how the hack occurred or whether OurMine is planning another display of its cyber-prowess during Sunday's NFL Championship game. The Super Bowl usually is the most-watched television program in any given year. It also is a big traffic driver for social media platforms.
    OurMine didn't immediately respond to an email sent to its website seeking comment for this story. A spokesperson for the NFL also couldn't be reached.
