Back again after 2 years of being unable to log in ? Now to get back to my favourite subject Electromagnetic Shielding. Why because once out of Earths Electromagnetic Shield we are as a simple weak Biological life form cannot handle massive Radiation especially in space. I posted here 2 years ago about it that if you get a tall/long glass fill it up 1/2 way and tilit it at a slight angle then to stir the water in that glass vigorously it will Thin out all over the inside of the glass then if you lower your stirring Speed it will collapse and thicken up to wards the bottom of the said glass. This is how a Spacecraft could be protected by adding current then dropping current to make it into a FLUID ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD/SHIELD. At the moment the technology is sort of there but is not in other disciplines of Engineering Math and Physics yet. I was looking at the technical specs of the proposed space elevator 2 years ago the tether would snap then some one came up with the idear of combining Carbon/Graphene together as both are strong and both can carry Electricity through them. But their proposal didnt fir my Electromagnetic Fluid Shield idea except another article showed a company/team pressed together an atomic level matrix 1 degree out and pressed them together. Here we could some how ramp it up into a production run to make billions of Nano Scaled Particle to fuse or Electrically hold them together to push a massive amount of Current to form an Electromagnetic Fluid Shield together in a Manufacturing Production line. The dimensions would have to be experimented with of course along with everything else thats new but a possible venture to create the same field for deep space Space Stations of the future.

We are defined as a space nation. Now what about sections inside our nation which we could define as space-city's or as departments. We could give for example our department of art as a space-city for art where every human could go to experience art in space.. We could also define space-mayors to these space-city's so that we do not have to bind us to earthly structures and mindsets. Grtz, Dirk.

**ACTIVITY REPORT** **Civic.Asgardia Management Meeting SUN 15 JAN 2017** Civic.Asgardia is an officially-endorsed volunteer organization that provides an administrative infrastructure to manage the many volunteers and civil projects of the developing Asgardia micronation. We provide organizational support to the community and encourage unified standards of content and behavior. Senior Staff meet weekly to discuss the needs of the community, to coordinate volunteer activities, and to provide feedback to Asgardia Officials. **Attending:** Rebekah Berg, Cheyenne Voss, Christina Cole, Dominic Sturt, Oriane Kaesmann, Nikari Steve MIller. **General Updates.** Discussed translations of Dr. Ashurbeyli’s January video address. Volunteer translations are proceeding well. 70 volunteer translators participate in that team with a strong focus on cross-Chapter translation, training documentation, and public release of official addresses. **Staffing.** Training material for Cultural Sensitivity and Professionalism being planned. Shane Watt and Alan Player end probation and are promoted to Moderators of Facebook General, Facebook Fun, Forum General, Forum Education and another forum of their choice. We congratulate Christina Cole on resuming her studies at university. She will focus her volunteering on Asgardia’s U.S. Chapter. She will remain available to train team leads for the Translation area. Alex Fiume resigned his position as Moderation Supervisor. We appreciate his contributions to organizing Facebook groups, training moderation staff, and many other talents that he shared in helping to begin the civic support of Asgardia.Space. Active moderation staff was identified. Jason Rainbow, Zahira Yahyaoui, and Monir Zaman are very responsive and pro-active. **Forums.** More help needed in Constitution this week. Voted to shift all moderation staff from Interest Group to the Global Moderation group. This allows far more flexibility to manage ad-hoc issues at any time of day. Concern was voiced about the need for social media channels to support Persian, Arabic and other languages which need script written right-to-left. **Facebook.** Response to forums is lower than anticipated. There is discussion about re-opening select Facebook groups as the forums are under review. A richer feature set is being tested to improve member engagement in the Forums. **Chapters.** During the first quarter of the year, increased focus will be given to the National Chapters with training, staffing, and coordination. More advocate engagement is needed. **Official Updates.** Business planning is nearing completion. The official team is very busy with scientific and business development. **Department Roundtable (Status, Updates, Issues)** Scores of applications were received from members to become Moderators in our social media area. Intake and screening of the applicants continues; they are vetted but many are unable to pass the English reading comprehension assessment. Interviews are being set up. This week two moderators are coming into live-training and six applicants are being processed Among the applicants are also candidates for administrative assistants and translation positions. The second edition of the Moderation Guide is almost finished. Integration of the new Code of Conduct is complete. Staff discussed benefits of translating the manual for non-English moderation volunteers. Languages under consideration are Turkish, Simplified Chinese, Spanish and Portuguese. Translations are going well. They are seeing more use of Google Docs for collaborative, real-time processing of localising documents. Reliable translators are being identified. There was discussion of different dialects of Japanese, Italian and Arabic. Law forums are doing well, things are stable. Awaiting official posts about constitutional issues and policies. The Administrative Affairs forum is being underutilized. We plan to use it share activity reports that inform members of volunteer activities and projects. This will increase transparency and enable constructive feedback. **Note to members:** Any Asgardia member is able to welcome to help organize our community. We have positions available for volunteers with experience in forum moderation, office administration, volunteer coordination, localisation/translation, project management, and other areas. Applicants are screened and expected to meet the requirements of a position description. Respectfully submitted, Rebekah Berg, Lead Community Administrator Nikari Steve Miller, Administrative Coordinator

I am from South Africa and one of my favourite customs we have here is a good ‘braai’ (pronounced “bry”, rhyming with the word “cry). In other parts of the world you will know it better as a BBQ or grill (meat over an open fire - spoiler alert I am not a vegetarian). There is a South African saying, that goes like this: South Africans are strange people. We ‘braai’ when things are bad We ‘braai’ when we celebrate and when we have nothing to do, then we ‘braai’ Yes, we are very strange. If you want to discuss this, bring you meat tomorrow and lets have a ‘braai’ and discuss this and anything else :) Tonight we are having a ‘braai’, celebrating our live together as a family, and my nomination to run for parliament, of course.

I don't want to use the email that i registered with so I'm going to create a new account , but I've been trying to delete this one for about 2 hours now and I have no idea how. I've tried sending an email like the FAQ says but nothing happens. It makes it very frustrating to do what normally takes 10 mins or less on any other site.

De acuerdo a los datos que conocemos de este fenómeno: El síndrome de Kessler o cascada de ablación es un escenario propuesto por el consultor de la NASA Donald J. Kessler en el cual el volumen de basura espacial en órbita baja terrestre sería tan alto que los objetos en órbita serían impactados con frecuencia por la basura, creándose así aún más basura y un mayor riesgo de otros impactos sobre otros objetos. Mientras que el número de satélites en órbita crece y los viejos satélites se acumulan, el riesgo de este escenario de colisiones en cascada de Kessler se hace mayor. Sabemos perfectamente que la órbita, tarde que temprano, es el destino de la humanidad, muchos grupos y agencias están interesados en poblar otros planetas, pero no nos vamos de la asa que nos vio nacer dejando un basurero irremediable, definitivamente sabemos que se están elaborando una serie de acciones par combatir este problema tan serio, lo que nos hace falta son recursos y buena voluntad de las otras naciones para hacerse cargo de lo que ya provocaron. Ustedes saben con que en el grupo de Nation Builders se está trabajando para entender que es y de que va la tecnología para lograr combatir la basura espacial con el proyecto que fue votado por los asgardianos y residentes dentro de la plataforma que coordinan los alcaldes de Asgardia Ross Cheeseright e Iván Rosel, la preocupación es grande y viene una propuesta para todos los que formamos parte de este proyecto: El concierto contra el síndrome Kessler, en las condiciones que nos encontramos actualmente no podemos hacerlo en un sitio específico, pero de forma virtual si es posible y de esa forma poder reunir recursos para el innovador desarrollo del Dron asgardiano para el combate de la basura espacial, si alguien tiene ideas o esta le parece buena, bien, allá vamos!!!
