It's an ill wind that blows nobody good

There are whispers, uneasiness, if it were a weather storm we would say the pressure is dropping... there are some saying that more battles are coming, including one that may influence Devra.

So what are the beating drums saying?

1. Rumors place Devra perhaps in the EU or even a bit further North/East into Russia (https://plus.google.com/110289508116377658380/posts/LKuwCyZgjGc and https://plus.google.com/110289508116377658380/posts/gWcrdG4yy7G comments by Edgar Allen Wright, Joe Philley and Hubert Farlowe)
2. More light is shed on why Hubert Farlowe has voiced support for "the good doc" (Devra). Apparently he was the second person at the Zurich hit (https://plus.google.com/110289508116377658380/posts/gWcrdG4yy7G)
3. Devra may have run into some trouble (comment by Hubert Farlowe - https://plus.google.com/110289508116377658380/posts/gWcrdG4yy7G)
4. Dr. Edgar Allen Wright has long claimed to know Devra through past work and study. This recent post by Dr. Wright brings up the connection Devra may have had to Edgar - but it does seem a bit odd - copied below in entirety (https://plus.google.com/110289508116377658380/posts/7pcSFT4k584)

Edgar Allan Wright originally shared this post:

I'm thinking that, though we don't get explicit, had a relationship with Dr. Wright while she was a student. It cost him his job and some discipline.  As he became more and more outcast (both for his fanaticism, she tried to separate).  Now he's kind of a stalker, but she realizes that he was kind of right.  And, well, maybe she feels bad about what happened to him.  She may need his help at some point, and should probably mention him in the story.  Gives him cred on Google+.

And lastly, a "think tank" group I am in (waves at my fellow WIN thinkers and speculators), started wondering if another battle for a portal and thus a person might be coming soon, this time linked to Devra.  I made a comment, "And..... I have a thought - what if in a battle for Devra... we left the portal NEUTRAL????  what happens if the portal is neutral????"

A comment was made in reply by a Niantic source that, "I would love that then she would have made her own choice..but what if its in a farm and it was a tie ?"

And that is a question.......  can you change the direction the wind blows?

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.

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?
