These testing times of pestilence, crime and natural disasters call for heroes! Answer by becoming Hero51: play and win the Epic Disaster Survival Simulation Game!


FukushimaHero51 - A hero for these times!
11 March 2011, a major 9.0 earthquake and tsunami damaged nuclear reactors in Fukushima, Japan, near Tokyo, threatening a meltdown that would devastate Japan and surrounding countries, all the way to America. 180 brave heroes worked round the clock, 50 at a time, selflessly and tirelessly; risking health, future and their very lives to challenge the disaster and save the day!
The LA Times called these the Fukushima 50, highlighting their heroism. The writer, Molly Hennessy-Fiske, brought up touching intimate details of what these heroes were enduring:
“I fought back tears when I heard that my father, who is to retire in six months, had volunteered,” @NamicoAoto wrote. “At home, he doesn’t seem like someone who could handle big jobs? but today, I was really proud of him,” she wrote. “I pray for his safe return.”
@Nekkonekonyaa, whose mother wept when her father left for work heading to the nuclear plant, tweeted “Please dad, come back alive."
“He says he’s accepted his fate. Much like a death sentence,” the e-mail describing one of the heroes, was read on the national TV network, NHK.
An employee from Fukushima No. 1 (Daiichi) expressed pride in her coworkers who stayed behind. “The staff of TEPCO have refused to flee and continue to work even at the peril of their own lives..." a blog reported by the Singapore newspaper Straits Times.
This exciting simulation game pays tribute to the heroes and lets you join in their selfless efforts and courageous experience: able to learn a new skill rapidly, prevent a meltdown horror, save lives, face an ever-growing danger resourcefully and fearlessly...and thus become Hero51!
The top scorers are given world ranking, recognizing them so that they can be world champions and win honour for their countries - without being in the Tokyo or Beijing Olympic Games!


ABOUT THE AUTHOR: BOB SK TEO
Bob is a Singaporean, a teacher and educationist before inventing and developing abKey (the 21st Century computer keyboard), abacus3 (3rd generation abacus for building math foundation in young children), and Hero51. Together with his wife, Lan, a trained counsellor, he founded the charity organization "CARE: Children At Risk Empowerment" in Singapore. He has two daughters, in New York and London UK, and two grandchildren who constantly motivate him to create new fun ideas and inventions for helping children grow - academically and psycho-emotionally. He wishes that Hero51 will help them, and other children, especially in these pandemic times, to learn to love their country and care for their community, to do whatever it takes to contribute and help in any crisis or disaster!

ABOUT ABKEY
The Hero51 game requires players - of all ages - to manage a console by rapid-fire typing (using mobile phone or pad): in order to call out a fire engine, helicopter, ambulance, save the lives of an old man and his dog, save workers to enable them to repair the power lines to let electricity flow and run the pumps that'll quench the raging fires that threaten to meltdown the nuclear power plant. Thus the abKey layout, designed to speed up typing and reduce finger and hand stress and strain (and CTS.) The basic keyboard abKey layout is essentially alphabetical; with the 5 vowels, the 3 most frequently used consonants, and the 2 most frequently used function keys grouped for easy referencing and reach. In addition, the programmable abKey (applicable in Levels 3 and 4), where the user can Strategically Store (T+) words beforehand, to be Rapidly Retrieved (Tr) appropriately during the gameplay. Nevertheless, it's an unfamiliar keyboard to every player, and the winners will be the ones who meet the challenge of rapidly learning it and using it in a strategic and skillful way, worthy of champions!
