Welcome

This blog collects all of my research on Dr. Devra Bogdanovich as well as becoming a way to tell her story. You can check the What is this page for an overview of the project, or browse through the Bio and Career pages to learn about Dr. Bogdanovich's work and life. The main part of the blog will serve as a journal of my journey to document my research and to pay homage to a distinguished scientist.

Updating Resources and random thoughts about DIAMON(D) Project

As we wait to see what the results from the Cahokia Mounds "battle" (should we call it a battle, is this, as Devra mentioned, "War"), I've been working on a few random things.  One, a lot of people are collecting Niantic info and trying to catalog and curate.  I have updated the blog's Resources, Files and Images Page with the resources I have found thus far and will continue to update.  If you are creating any sort of wiki, list, visual, table, or such, that has a relation to Devra, let me know and I'll list the resource here.


And second, just trying to collect some of the info proposed and collected regarding the communication between Devra and Edward Pillar - http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/pac/IB/02/item/pillar.png


There is some discussion in the comments for the assorted posts below -

  1. https://plus.google.com/+NianticProject/posts/URFHyKZScXc  
  2. https://plus.google.com/107179591490960059904/posts/R42CkTT39wA 
  3. https://plus.google.com/105931060527409787825/posts/a5cuS5oVPNT 
  4. and others (such as L. Besh on g+) have chimed in with discussions and links.


A few posted possible references/resources

1. A potential link - http://www.diamond.ac.uk/
2. Another as some feel the document references DIAMON which is associated with CERN - http://accelconf.web.cern.ch/accelconf/ica07/PAPERS/RPPA35.PDF and https://indico.cern.ch/getFile.py/access?resId=0&materialId=8&confId=31535
3. from the Niantic g+ comments - http://www.upf.edu/dtf/personal/catalog04/demos/01-diamond.pdf


Now - what does it mean and is there more to this document - meaning, is there a way to actually find what the DIAMON(D) Project means of communication is and perhaps find more communications or an actual channel to conversation.  Or is it just a sidenote in a communique that puts another background piece in Devra's resume file of what projects she has worked on????

Will think about this a bit more and see if anything pops up.

Don't Underestimate Devra

New posting on the PAC website - http://www.nianticproject.com/?id=sc225b

I agree with Calvin, do not underestimate Dr. Bogdanovich, the few glimpses we have gotten have shown she already is reaching out and has some very connected/smart/useful colleagues and friends.

I do wonder though about the comment Calvin makes... what lies in Devra's past

Calvin:  And others.
don't underestimate her.
Others have and it hasn't gone so well for them.

War is coming, information can be powerful

Working on updating the blog with all the research, there is so much and I am sure much is missing.

Updated the Careers and Education page - trying to focus on past experience as well as people she knows/has encountered.

As always, if you have information, or see where something is wrong or needs to be adjusted, please let me know.

People and Relationships

Working on trying to track the relationships and people that have crossed paths with Devra (especially important if she is gathering chess pieces).  I am working on a visual graphic organizer.

This is a general image.



You can access the full picture here - https://bubbl.us/?h=3fc75/26d9fc/26uHkvn50.6Nc

very interesting the people who have come into Devra's sphere.... and so many more connections...

Choosing Sides

Devra is calling in favors, a war is coming, what side will you choose? What is her plan?  How can we help?

So, Devra worked on a project for CERN called the DIAMON project???  What was her role in that project and who is Edward Pillar?

Even More Storyboards

Well, it seems more storyboards continue to be found.  There are those from a possible new twist/faction/group the Verum Inveniri -  (their G+ account - https://plus.google.com/u/0/109846653838501599116/posts)

PAC posted a contact from them - http://www.nianticproject.com/?id=sc211b and that included links to two "new" storyvboards

storyboards439938 - http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/pac/accessdive/00/00/s00.html



storyboards152080 - http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/pac/accessdive/01/00/s01.html




Now the first one may already have been found (Linda Besh via g+ discussions and the assembled storyboards posted on the Storyboards and Novel page)

the second shared board I do not believe is part of that collection (will be updated later).

In addition, more storyboards have been found via a dead drop in Paris at Jim Morrison's grave (see here). The found storyboards will be shared by those who recovered the info left at the drop; there is more to the story of Devra (and Jarvis's) escape from the Niantic project.

An Exotic Matter - Where is Devra Now

PAC has shared all of the pages from the first chapter of the novel "An Exotic Matter" that chronicles Devra's Journey from Zurich Switzerland, to Zagreb Croatia.

I'm working on documenting the timeline of events of her journey from the novel, including people and places she came in contact with during that piece of her flight from Niantic after the XM event known as Epiphany Night.

At the end of the chapter, she contacts an old friend and is arranging to meet them.  Who was she going to meet and where is she now?  Was she meeting one of the people in this communication? http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/pac/IB/01/item/zgr.png or someone from her days at SETI, or project Whydah or....



Also, the storyboards and script that trace the escape from the Niantic facility at CERN to the Zurich train station are being assembled.  You can find updated on the Storyboards and Novel page. I also posted the links to all of the chapter pages posted by PAC as well as a complete file that had been given to me with all of the pages.  A big shout out to all helping to assemble the storyboards - especially Michael Serra (who provided the assembled set with help from Johnathan Chung and others).

I'll also post the timeline, maps and other research from the novel on that page.

Are you just in my mind Devra

First the storyboards and now an author's novel?  Devra... who are you?  Now the song from Savage Garden with the line, "I think I dreamed you into life." keeps going round in my head.

I have added this novel to the StoryBoard page (and updated the title of that page)
