South Central New Hampshire lies a small town… Population  6,011. Established in 1772 and the birthplace of Franklin Pierce, the 14th president of the United States and the only President from New Hampshire. 

Today the town’s largest industry is an OSRAM SYLVANIA Manufacturing Plant. This facility produces automotive and miniature lighting and employees around 500 local residents. That’s over 8% of the town’s population. 

Let’s say you were a worker at this plant in Hillsboro, and you wanted to stretch your legs during one of your breaks, you could go out the side door of the facility that is right along West Main Street, the busy two-lane road that snakes through the entire town from east to west. 

Walking East along West Main Street right in the middle of all the back and forth traffic of cars heading to a local golf course a block away, or to the Shaws grocery store right up the road, or perhaps to one of the many yard sales that pop up all over town during the weekend. You come across a small 20 by 40-foot area of flat earth marked off by long heavy granite slabs neatly cut and standing on edge outlining the perimeter of what now becomes clear to you is sacred ground. 

A small family plot of land that serves as the final resting place of11 members of the Dascomb family. 

The largest headstone is marked with the name George Dascomb Born 1765 and died 1842. Along with Geroge is:

George served as a Private in the NH Militia, commanded by Capt. Hugh Moor, and Col Fish during the war of 1812.

As a new player of the game, one of the hardest things to figure out is the storyline behind the game. Although you don't necessarily need to know the storyline to be effective as a player, understanding the narrative behind the game will definitely help you figure a lot of things out.

There are a lot of resources out there that you can read, listen to, or watch that can help you with this. One recent discovery I made was an audiobook I found on Audible called: The Niantic Project: Ingress by Felicia Hajra-Lee (Author), ADA (Narrator).

A Little about the book:

When she first agreed to lead the research team of the Niantic Project, Dr. Devra Bogdanovich knew she was headed into the unknown. What she never could have imagined is where her dangerous, and potentially world-changing, exploration of Exotic Matter (or XM) would lead her. After the chaos of the evening known as Epiphany Night explodes into murder and betrayal, the NIA seeks other ways to continue the ongoing research while Devra finds herself on the run and ensnared in a game of cat and mouse with the most powerful thinking machine ever created, a detection algorithm known as ADA.

As ADA follows her digital trail, Devra is also pursued by both a relentless assassin and a rogue NIA agent. Now determined to restart her quest for understanding this transdimensional building block known as Exotic Matter, Devra recruits a team of her own to stop Niantic and uncover the ultimate truth of XM.

Is it the key to unlocking an enlightened future? Or, is it a tool for the ultimate enslavement of mankind? Now reading through the reviews of this book it seems to be split down the middle. I got the sense that people either liked it and found it beneficial, while others were put off by the book and didn't dig it at all.

For me, it left me more confused and asking more questions than it answered for me. I get the impression that this book is really more for people that have a foundational knowledge of the backstory already and this book adds to the storyline vs. a book that addresses the storyline from the beginning.

@TheRealRogue1: When creating links and fields you need the portal key to the portal you are trying to link to, but you don't necessarily need the key to the portal you are shooting a link from.

THIS WEEK:

We talk about SHARDS! What are they, how do you play, and what does it mean.

This Portal was submitted by Agent Teganligger from the Netherlands.

The Sun Voyager (Icelandic: Sólfar) is a sculpture by Jón Gunnar Árnason, located next to the Sæbraut road in Reykjavík, Iceland. Sun Voyager is described as a dreamboat, or an ode to the Sun. The artist intended it to convey the promise of undiscovered territory, a dream of hope, progress and freedom.

Tips from an anonymous agent, for a starting player. Enjoy!

September 2015 - CBS News: Demolition crews recently cleared away what was once the informal headquarters for New Hampshire's first-in-the-nation presidential primary campaigns, the Wayfarer Hotel, in order to make way for an apartment building, a Whole Foods, and a bank.

The Bedford hotel, well beyond its prime, still attracted some reporters and campaign staffers, mostly out of habit, until it closed in 2009.

By 2000, though, the Wayfarer was already showing its age, when then-Vice President Al Gore came through town. His advance team, alarmed by the musty odor that pervaded the room, was forced to make an emergency run to CVS for an armful of air fresheners.

Some longtime journalists remember what it was like in its heyday, though. "It was like Rick's in Casablanca," said former CBS News Anchor Bob Schieffer. "Everybody comes to Rick's. And that's the way it used to be at the Wayfarer. You could just walk in, sit at the bar, and just stay there and everybody eventually came through there and they came mostly every night and stayed through the night."

The best place for AP (Access Points) What you need to level up is downtown areas. You don't necessarily need to have portals from the opposite faction, Grey's (or neutral) Portals are great for "Microfielding".

This is a great way to gain AP quickly". Microfielding is when you take over neutral Portals that are close together and link them together creating a small or Microfielding.

You get AP for converting a neutral Portal, You get more AP for linking Portals together, and even more AP for creating "Fields" Thank you @Fourtrys for this piece of advice!

Hello, I'm @TheRealRogue1 Member of the Resistance Faction. Level 7 with 730,000 AP and need 1,200,000 to level up. And I am @FallingSabre Member of the Enlightened Faction. Level 8 with 1.5 Mil AP and need 2.4 M to level up. Check us out over on Instagram and Facebook @ Enlightened Resistance Podcast!
