The word Esperanto means for me... Hello! Could anyone help me with this little text? Thanks a lot! -- The Word Esperanto, as the language name, is related with a hopeful confidence in the future, a strong belief in the human progress and the true possibility of a modern, brotherly and fair humane society.

Deaths by suicide and car traffic accidents. Hello! Could anyone help me with this text? Thanks a lot! -- For a few years I have been listening about that suicides are increasing strongly. A typical new is comparing the number of suicides with the traffic accident dead ones. I remember the first time I listened that there were the same number of suicides than car accident deads. This week I watched a new that said that this rate is doubled. This surprised me and I checked the Spanish Stadistical Office www.ine.es (this data is about Spain). I took the data from 1999 to 2016 and ploted it. Then, I realized about two things: On one hand, despite that in fact suicides have been increasing (and it is a very big medical and social problem), the main issue is that car accident deads have been decreasing. On the other hand, I have seen the importance of chek by oneself the information and be awake about the poor quality news.

Solo card game instrucctions (2/2 part) This is the second part, I'm sorry and thanks very much. --- The right field side and the left field side are connected. For example; if your spaceship are on the more to the right column and your spaceship goes right it will appear on  the more to the left column in the same row. If in any time your spaceship is on a square with an asteroid your spaceship is destroyed. Your spaceship can’t travel throw one asteroid. Each torn, you spent a fuel unit, you can control it with your control fuel card. # Impacts phase From left to right and from top (5th row) to bottom you have to check for impacts. An impact is when in two cards in touch two asteroids are side to side. Then you have to turn the cards involved bottom up. You can turn bottom up the cards right-left or top-down but you have to always do the same movement for turn them. The first impacts that you fint are the primary impacts, but, generally, those generate secondary impacts which you have to resolve in the same way. Remember that left and right side are connected. Example (solving impacts): Image 1 When a loop appears (It’s when appling the impact rules you will be turning the cards ad infinitum), you have to change the furthest card from the player of the loop with the following card (if the card to be changed is on the 5th row you can use as following card the first on the right column) if the loop persisted, you can change the original card with the 2nd following card, etc. In the case of a horizontal loop, you can change with the more to the right card, repeating the anterior rule. In more complex cases with loops of different steps (the loop don’t repeat immediately and involves more than two cards) make you sure you had applied the impact rule of 1rt and 2nd impacts properly (as showed in the image), it solves many of this kind of loops. When you discover a deeper loop (loop of more than one step) try to apply the general rule of loops in the initial deep loop phase in a logical way. The last part of the impact phase is spinning the cards 180º. You haven’t to solve any impacts at that moment. # Admonition Cards tend to be ordered when you play (maybe you realized that there are very few impacts the second time you play than the first time), so I recommended you not only to shuffle the order cards but too shuffle the side cards and the orientation up-down cards. I mean; shuffle the order and spin the cards in both of those axis.

Solo card game instrucctions (1/2 part) Hello everyone! I did a solo card game for a Internet contest (https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/2011569/2018-solitaire-print-and-play-contest), could anyone help me with the rules? (they were originally written in Spanish). I thing that it can be a bit difficult because in many occasions when a person write a rule game he can thing that they are very crear, but in fact they seem dark from the reader point of view. In the text I have put a image link in order to make the instructions clearer. Thanks very much, Toni E. --------------------------------------------- Asteroid Field Chaotic solo card game You are the computer of the autonomous miner spaceship A-438 that works in the asteroid belt. Your mission is transport the mineral from the base asteroid to the storage artificial planetoid with the minimum cost. # Rules Asteroid Field game doesn’t use random at all but the card order. This game is chaotic because despite you have all the data will be hard for you to predict the result of the game. # Game parts There are; 30 both sides cards (asteroid field desk), 1 speed control card, 1 fuel control card and 1 round control card. You need 4 tokens, one as spaceship and tree for the control cards. Each asteroid field card is divided in 6 squares (in one side there is an asteroid and two alert marks under which are two asteroids -in the other side- on the other side, complementary, there are two asteroids and one alert mark which shows where the other side asteroid is). # Game goal You have to cross the asteroid field, avoiding being destroyed and using the smallest quantity of fuel # Setting cards horizontally you have to place randomly all the cards in a 5x6 matrix, this is the asteroid field. The first row is the row nearest to the player. # Game sequence The game has three phases per round. 1. Sailing 2. Impacts 3. Cards spin # Sailing phase Game starts when you put the spaceship token on a first row square. Your spaceship starts with 0 speed. In each round you can maintain the speed, increase it 1 or decrease it 1. The speed is the squares you can move. You can control your spaceship speed with the speed control card. You can move forwards, right and left, all your speed must be used in one direction each time. For example, to reverse your direction you can, have a negative speed or turn left or right twice (in two rounds). --- I’m sorry, but my game instructions are a bit long, I had to upload it in two parts.

DIY mini centrifuge Hello. Could someone help me with that text? Thanks very much! :-) ------------------------- Now I am working in a DIY mini centrifuge. For that project I am using a hard disk motor. That motors are brushless, so they produce few friction and can reach higger speed than standard motors, furthermore, it is very easy to recycle them from old hard disks. I am making the centrifuge enclosure with layers of Wood. I had carved each layer, with different shapes, in order to make space to put all electronics inside. You can see that in the pictures. The centrifuge is going to be controlled by an Arduino micro controler. I am going to use an infrared sensor to count how fast the motor spines. I have an old lab centrifue which I bought in a second hand market. I putted a tachometer, based on arduino too, into that aparatus. Then, I realized that the centrifuge speed tended to change progressively. It hadn't a very stable speed. In this mini centrifuge, arduino is going to be able to ajust the engine speed if that differs from the programed one. I am using a special electronic component named "Electronic speed control", ESC in short, which is used for control drone or helicopter motors which are brushless too. That device allows the arduino controlling the motor easily. Using a little screen and three buttons will be possible program speed and time of working of the centrifuge.

Introducing a DIY machine. Hello. Could someone help me with that text? Thanks very much! :-) ------------------------- I am a microscopy hobbyist and a time ago I bought a second hand rotary microtome that can helping me to make very tinny slices for be seen in the microscope. But, doing microscope slides can be a long and delicate work. For prepare a specimen for cutting with that microtome, you need to remove the whater from the specimen with alcohol (dehydrate), remove alcohol with xilol and finaly substitute xilol with molten wax. Before that, specimen can be cutted with the rotary microtome. That proccess need 8 or 12 different baths of a 1 hour each. It is a very time consuming work. For that reason, I thought build a homemade version of an automatic tissues processor, based on Arduino. For my knowing level and experience, that project had been an interesting and challenging tecnologic adventure, so introduce my DIY machine from that place, ----, seem me funny and apropiate.

Introducing my stereomicroscope Hi! Could somebody correct my text? Thank you --------------------------- Recently I bought a stereomicroscope, also know as binocular lupe or disecction microscope. It is an Euromex, Novex 4-AP model. It is for amateur Although it has a good image quality and is robust. In my opinion, it has great value for money. There are others models of the same Novex AP family, that have higher features, as bottom light or rotating objectives with two magnifications (10x and 30x for example). But I think that I won't use those characteristics so I just choosed that I need. Some words about the photografies: I took the images with a 2Mp Bressel digital ocular and quality is not very good. With stereomicroscope the best way to enjoy it is by looking through it with yours ouwn eyes because it has two oculars ant two objectives so you can see the specimens in 3D. Unfortunatly, with the photograpy you lose that 3D feature. Therefore, evaluate the device only by photografies is dificult, you need to use it. At present I am working in an Arduino project for make an automatic tissue processor. (Related with conventional microscopy not with stereomicroscopy). It is hard to do good microscopic preparations because you must put the specimen in many quemical solutions sequentially and it is very time consuming, so that device could be very useful. I will post about that new project when it will be more advanced

Card game instructions Hi, could someone correct those instructions? Thanks! Instructions. This game is for practicing English. The A person, read the question on his card and answer it, then person B answer the (edit: same) question too (edit: both answer the question). In the next round is the same but the B person starts. There are three cards sets. Questions of each card set are more personal than the previous one.
