Genetic factors are involved in the aetiology of dementias. Three genes have been identified which, when mutated, cause Familial Alzheimer disease (FAD): the presenilin-1 (PS1), the presenilin-2 (PS2) and the amyloid precursor protein (APP) genes. Together, these mutations are responsible for 30-50% of the cases with autosomal dominant Alzheimer disease (AD), and for about 5% of all AD cases. While over 130 mutations have been identified in PS1, mutations in PS2 and APP are rarer, since only 10 and 22 mutations, respectively, have been found in these FAD genes. Instead, mutations in the MAPT gene were associated with Familial Frontotemporal dementia (FFTD) linked to chromosome 17 (FTDP-17). Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) can occur in a sporadic form, but in 30-50% of cases there is a positive family history of dementia. In this study, we determined the spectrum of mutations and the relative contribution of the above mentioned four genes in our Italian clinical series of patients with a positive family history of dementia.

Guerilla Grafters
The Guerilla Grafters, a loose-knit band of undercover orchardists, blend gardening and urban activism to spark debate about the use of public space.
"When you walk down the street and see a tree with 10 cherries on it — there's a possibility of delight,"
said Grafter Ian Pollock, 46, a digital arts professor who likens the project to street theater. "I'm not convinced that large-scale food production will come out of this, but the fruits of this conversation can transform the city."
Of the more than 160 people now on the Grafters' e-mail list, about 35 to 50 are active participants, Hui said. Their Facebook page has nearly 300 "Likes," and they have received inquiries about grafting from across the Bay Area and as far away as Southern California and Colorado. A Guerrilla Grafting Instruction Manual is available in PDF form and Hui said a steward's manual is in the works.
"The intention of doing guerrilla grafting is not so much for the sake of challenging authority, but to set an example — a working example — to counter the arguments," said Hui, a Beijing-born urban gardener and gray-water activist with a computer science degree. "If we have a prototype, we can have a legitimate rational discussion on the issue."
But challenge authority it does.

Studio's like movies to make money, but what films over the years have smashed box office records and took a ton of cash. We have a look at which films are the top 10 biggest box office hits ever by adjusting their total grosses for inflation. This offers up a more accurate insight into what made cinema-goers leave the comfort of their homes and pay to sit in an expensive, cramped seat with hundreds of strangers…
10. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937)
Worldwide Box-Office gross: $1,746,100,000 (adjusted)
Snow White's success and game-changing influence can be best summed up with the fact that everyone was waiting for it, and fully-expecting the fully animated musical, to fail miserably.
The films enduring and timeless popularity has led it be rereleased at cinema's many times, boosting its box office takings considerably.
Innovative with its power and resonance helping to leave a huge dent in popular culture which is still felt today.
9. Jaws (1975)
Jaws soon become, after its initial release, the highest grossing film of all time. It recouped its production costs in the first two weeks alone. Spielberg's troubled production was a lesson in perseverance, and his film was, and still is, a perfect example of how to scare the shit out of people. A simple enough premise, a shark attacking a resort, but Spielberg pulls out every trick in the book to ensure the horror of what's lurking in the water chills you. With the production struggling with the faulty fake shark, the director had to improvise and find clever ways to keep the suspense and fear going, often without the shark being used. A classic film with a simple idea and a genius at the helm.
8. Doctor Zhivago (1965)
One of the most hauntingly beautiful, timeless epic romances of all time, set against the backdrop of the Russian Revolution. Stunning cinematography combines here with a turbulent historical setting, an unforgettable idealistic hero, and one of the most compelling fictional love triangles of all time.
The film was helped in its success because the novel, written by Boris Pasternak, had been published a only few years earlier, and was such a rip-roaring success that it stayed at the top of the best-seller lists for ages. The book was so well thought of that it won the Nobel Prize. Doctor Zhivago had all the ingredients, and was a film for both sexes to enjoy. And that is perhaps the secret to truly blockbuster takings.
7. The Ten Commandments (1956)
An all-star spectacular, muscly retelling of Moses and the Exodus. Entertaining and quite silly too. The Ten Commandments is an ode to the golden age of Hollywood. For many it was the final curtain for those grandiose days. Huge budget, over-the-top musical extravaganza's. The film also was the last act for Cecil B. De Mille and that only adds to the thought that you are witnessing something that will never happen again. At nearly 4 hours in length it is rightly called an epic, and if you can sit there for that long, then you will be certain that you have witnessed a true cinematic event.
6. E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982)
A film of friendship, wonder and tolerance. Spielberg's magical alien encounter movie tugs at the heartstrings and encapsulates the nostalgia of childhood. This is a powerful tool because we all have one. Youthful innocence. The emotional pull of the film was helped by Speilberg's decision to buck the trend, and shoot the movie in chronological order, purely to get a more realistic performance from his young performers. A move that worked out tremendously well. E.T. went on to become the highest grossing film of all time, even catapulting above good pal George Lucas' Star Wars.
5. The Sound of Music (1965)
A sugar-coated, feel-good musical. Upon its release it actually had very mixed reviews, with a general consensus being 'lukewarm'. Yet it won 5 Academy awards, and was even preserved in the Library of Congress as being 'culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant'. Its over-the-top tweeness has perhaps helped with its enduring appeal, with 21st century sing-along versions popping up all over the place, where members of the public sit in cinemas dressed as characters and perform karaoke en masse. The Sound of Music should also be remembered as the film that saved 20th Century Fox, who were on the very edge of bankruptcy following the catastrophic Cleopatra.
4. Titanic (1997)
It was the most expensive film ever made, a huge gamble for a film where we know the ending. But yet Titanic succeeded because visually it was immense and the romance story at its core kept us wondering. Sure the Titanic will sink…but what about Kate and Leo? It won eleven Academy Awards, quite the haul. It was the first ever film to take over $1 billion and ended up taking more than double that. Money on a huge scale, for a film production that was epic on every level, including a full scale replica Titanic.
3. Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope (1977)
Ground-breaking special effects and a fusion of fantasy and sci-fi motifs helped George Lucas' Star Wars to whisk away cinema-goers into a whole new dimension. Escapist, popcorn fodder at its finest. It surpassed the box office takings of Jaws after its initial release making it the highest grossing film of all time. Within three weeks 20th Century Fox had doubled in price, such was the success of it's new Lucas-inspired baby. So popular was Star Wars, that some cinemas played the movie continuously for over a year non-stop. It grabbed the populace by the scruff of the neck in a way films had never done before. Within days even model-makers and production staff were mobbed for autographs. Star Wars changed film making and the perception of what movies were capable of forever.
2. Avatar (2009)
Worldwide Box-Office gross: $2,783,918,000
What was it that made Avatar so successful? There is no doubt that it had 'virality', word of mouth, still recognised as the most powerful form of advertising. How many people did you encounter telling you that 'you have to see Avatar!'. It was simply astonishing visually. It brought 3D back, and it looked kinda cool. To the extent that now everyone is doing it. The story of Avatar is as old as the hills, but blending it with sci-fi tech-heavy story and, again, those twin pillars of popularity, romance and escapism, Avatar provided everybody, male, female, young and old with a well-spent two hours. It also become the best selling Bluray of all time as well as breaking the IMAX box-office records, which again points to the visual spectacle of Avatar being its number one attribute.
1. Gone with the Wind (1939)
Another film that was adapted from a best selling book. The novel was published in 1936 and went on to win the Pullitzer prize. Gone with the Wind clocks in at a hefty 3 hours 44 minutes, but its popularity upon its premiere is telling. Producer David Selznick called the reaction to the film 'probably the most amazing any picture has ever had'. The premiere itself attracted over 1 million people to flock to Atlanta. Over 60 million tickets in the US alone have been sold, that is half the population. Even with its initial release, it became the most profitable film ever made, and that was over 70 years ago. The epic romance has added to its box office takings liberally over the years, with regular and consistent rereleases. It also won a mighty 10 Academy Awards, a record that stood for twenty years until Ben Hur came along and crushed it.

Bluedot raises US$5.5m in Series A funding
Location service platform provider Bluedot Innovation has secured US$5.5 million in Series A funding, with tollway operator Transurban the major contributor with US$4 million.
Bluedot, which was originally founded in Adelaide, creates software that enables businesses to connect with customers through relevant and personalised interaction.
Last year, it joined with Transurban to create the mobile tolling app LinktGO that uses the GPS on a smartphone plus other sensors to identify when a driver has entered or exited a toll road.
The technology behind LinktGO is claimed to provide accuracy of locations while not consuming too much battery power or compromising privacy or safety on smartphones.
Apart from Transurban, Bluedot has attracted investors including Jeff Katz, formerly of Mercury Payments, as well as their longstanding board member, David Jacques, the founding chief financial officer of PayPal. To date, Bluedot has raised a total of US$13 million.
Other businesses that use Bluedot's technology are Salesforce, News Corporation and Cox Automotive.
Before this funding round, Bluedot carried out four years of R&D and engineered a product that is 20 times as accurate as its competitors, leading to the release of its patented Geoline technology.
The latest investment will be used to double its workforce at its San Francisco and Melbourne corporate headquarters as it gets ready for rapid commercial growth, including acquisition of enterprise customers and expanding its partnerships with Transurban and Salesforce.
The company also plans to invest in cutting edge R&D projects to expand its platform and transform mobile-based location services internationally.
"We have, and will continue to deliver, unprecedented IP and technology that enables enterprises to interact with their customers in meaningful and personalised ways at scale," said Bluedot's co-founder, Emil Davityan (above, right).
"The solutions we can power were not possible before. We're enabling enterprises to put customer experience at the centre of their business, and to seamlessly transition between physical and digital."

The Cass Building is a low-rise office building at 455 West Fort Street, at the southeast corner of First Street, in Detroit, Michigan. It is also known as Detroit's Work Place.

Description

The building was designed in 1910 by the architectural firm of Smith, Hinchman and Grylls as a warehouse on the western edge of the city's central business district.  In 1972, the reinforced concrete building was purchased by the firm and remodeled as its new headquarters.  The structure was stripped to its shell and new exterior walls constructed.  The north and west facades were covered with tinted glass in a specially designed framing system that is almost invisible at first glance.  The edges of the panes of glass comprise the wall abut giving the appearance of one sheet with no support.  Four adjacent panes are fastened at their corners by an x-shaped bracket.

The architectural firm relocated its offices in the early 1990s and the structure currently houses several employment agencies, daycare providers and Neighborhood Legal Services, which focus on meeting the needs of local Detroit residents.

Detroit People Mover Station Fort/Cass is one-block east across Fort Street from the building and Cobo Center is one block south.

Social media is bigger than ever in 2013, which makes it one of the best places to do some marketing work. The key to social media marketing is to provide people with a level of value that they cannot get from anywhere else. For some, that might mean receiving world class customer service for an issue that they've got. Others might look for engagement on posts they put on their newsfeeds. Still others are looking for information that they can't get anywhere else. These 5 tips will help you make the most out of your next social media marketing campaign!
People get a lot of advice on the internet today. A basic search engine result will turn up opinions about almost any subject that may or may not be valid. They could even just be a spintax article that someone wrote in Chinese and then used Google Translate to turn into English! Everyone pretends to be an expert, but not many people position themselves as an expert. Provide your experiences to your targeted visitors, give them your unique perspective, and you'll soon find people are craving what you know.
One of the biggest mistakes social media marketers make is that they are always trying to sell their product. People don't want to see "BUY THIS PRODUCT NOW!" on their newsfeed. They want to know more about what you've got to sell. They want information that is interesting enough that they can share it with their friends and position themselves as an expert too! If you can provide more information and fewer sales pitches, you'll see your conversion rates climb quickly.
Today's potential customers are no different than any other customer throughout the history of humanity. People want to do business with other people that have a willingness to establish a relationship with them. They seek out brand loyalty and will pay more to get something good from someone they know and trust than some stranger with a website and a computer. Be yourself, engage your targeted visitors, and begin building relationships.
People are more visual than ever these days. They don't want to spend time reading 1,000 words of text to be convinced that what you've got is a good idea. Summarize a good idea you've got into a short sentence, impose that thought onto a stunning graphic that will grab someone's attention on their newsfeed, and then let them choose whether or not that thought has value. If it does, they'll look at what you're offering in full.
There are plenty of trolls out there in the land of the internet today. Many of them have one goal: to get under your skin and make you look like a jerk. Others may have a customer service issue for some reason that hasn't been adequately resolved in their eyes. No matter what kind of comment you receive, just remember you'll attract more targeted visitors with honey than you will with vinegar.
By incorporating these tips into your next social media marketing campaign, you may just find that level of success you've been seeking for so long. Use them today to see how far your next campaign can go!


The report contains recommendations for changes to the PPS personnel process and the PAT contract, and we've already agreed to sit down and discuss these with District leaders.
But we shouldn't divorce what happened in the Whitehurst case from the national conversation about what it means to be a victim of sexual misconduct, harassment, inappropriate boundaries, and other discrimination. We need to evaluate the report's recommendations in that light, since this is not just a PPS, PAT, or Portland problem. This is our problem as a nation, and it will take all of us working together to combat these challenges.
Let's start with what we know best: education.
I was struck by the way that the report emphasized teaching students to speak up, despite the fact that over and over again, when students did report troubling behavior, building administrators and PPS Human Resource staff dismissed them, failed to act, and failed to report to them to TSPC.
So, while teaching students to speak up is important, we need to recognize the pattern of dismissing the concerns of girls and women and reflect on our own roles in breaking this pattern and holding each other accountable to do the same. This is exactly what the #metoo movement is about, and we all can go even further.
The report recommends "that the District implement additional training in homeroom or health class, or provide other age-appropriate, centralized curriculum that is designed to prevent abuse and sexual conduct" (p 65).
Let's go further—let's offer robust courses that help our young men and women understand what a healthy, consensual relationship at any age looks like. Let's teach all our students how to support each other, especially as they transition to adulthood, in treating each other with the higher standards of respect that the #metoo movement is highlighting as necessary for real change.
The report also recognizes that our training doesn't address the more nuanced issues we face. For example, "All of the examples involve arrests for illegal behavior and none involve examples of common inappropriate behavior, such as boundary violations. Boundary violations are significant issues worth emphasizing" (p 158).

In another article, we've already shared some best practices and useful tips on how to write a jaw-dropping resume, so let's continue to the next challenge to overcome for landing an awesome job: the technical interview.
The so-called technical interview (or what usually comes in between the 'meet and greet interview' and the 'contract signing interview') at first glance appears only to be a test of your programming credentials but in fact, it is much, much more. Your potential future employer will also be on the look out for how you approach solving problems.
I'll Either Solve It or Won't, Right?
Your potential superior needs to evaluate how well you understand the function and interaction between hardware and software. Also wants to be sure that you have a good overview and that you are able to picture the advantages and disadvantages of each software architecture design. You can also expect questions on algorithmic principles and other basic aspects of computing theory.
Pro Tip: Prior to the interview, look through your old school notes or Google the theories and give them a quick scan. It's a bit of a pain but it's one less thing to sweat over in the interview.
Pro Tip: Be as specific as possible and go into as much detail as possible – generic 'fillers' don't impress anyone. Don't be afraid to stand by your opinion – the interviewer will want to see if you can defend your reasoning.
Prepare yourself for detailed questions about your previous job and how precisely you contributed to your team's work and results. Your interviewer will be looking to find out what exactly you have behind you and to make sure your work experience doesn't just look good on paper but would make you a good fit for the job you'll be doing.
Pro Tip: Think through how your previous successes relate to the position you're applying for and how to best present it so that it appears beneficial to your potential new boss.
Pro Tip: Consider complex issues with care and don't go diving in head first. Calmly think through what's essential and what isn't, especially bearing in mind who's leading your technical interview and break down the problem according to this.
Although a lot of developers work individually, in the majority of companies you have to cooperate with others at least sometimes. Therefore your future employer will undoubtedly be interested in how you are at working with other people. Unique to coding is that you have to decipher what others have written and also put out code that the rest of the team will understand.
Pro Tip: This is a delicate balance to maintain – you want to make sure you stand out as a great potential employee, but you don't want to go so far that it looks like you put yourself ahead of the team. Regarding writing code, it's suggested to emphasize clarity and readability, even if that comes at the expense of speed.
We mustn't kid ourselves; development isn't usually a relaxing activity. The classic situation is a ridiculous deadline, an absolute trainwreck of unused code from your predecessor and that good-for-nothing Internet Explorer on which nothing seems to work.
Because such situations are likely to occur in your new job, your potential employer will be interested in how you cope under pressure.
Pro Tip: If you are being under pressure, don't be surprised, this is exactly how the interview is intended to work. If you begin to panic, take some deep breaths and remind yourself that if it doesn't work out, it won't be the end of the world.

Jeffrey Aloysius Van Note (born February 7, 1946) is a former American football center who played for the Atlanta Falcons of the National Football League (NFL) during the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.  He played college football for the University of Kentucky.  The Atlanta Falcons picked him in the eleventh round of the 1969 NFL Draft.

College career
Van Note played at the University of Kentucky, where he was a running back and defensive end for the Kentucky Wildcats football team from 1966 to 1968.

Professional career
Van Note was drafted as a linebacker by the Atlanta Falcons in the 11th round—the 269th overall pick of the 1969 NFL Draft. During the 1969 season, he played minor league football with the Alabama (Huntsville) Hawks of the Continental Football League.

Van Note soon moved to center by Falcons head coach Norm Van Brocklin.  Despite his modest draft status and lack of experience in the position, Van Note established himself as one of the finest centers in the NFL, making six Pro Bowls and helping the young Atlanta franchise to some of the greatest seasons in team history.  His 18-year tenure with the Falcons is one of the 25 longest in NFL history and is the second longest while staying with the same team.  He played in 246 games over this stretch, and his 225 games started as a Falcon is second in team history to Mike Kenn.  Van Note missed a mere four games in his entire NFL career.

The Falcons retired Van Note's jersey number 57 on December 15, 1986, at halftime of his final home game at Atlanta–Fulton County Stadium, and presented him a 57 Chevy prior to the game.  He would also be voted by fans as the franchise's favorite player during the Falcons' 25th Anniversary season in 1991.  Van Note would be inducted into the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame in 1999.

Broadcasting career
After retiring from professional football, Van Note served as color commentator on the Atlanta Falcons and Kentucky Wildcats football broadcasts throughout the 1990s.  Throughout this period, he would also frequently be heard on Atlanta airwaves as a sports-talk radio host.

Van Note also spent time alongside Joe McConnell as the color commentator for the Tennessee Oilers in 1997.

Van Note gave up his commentator positions with both teams following the 2003 season, but was called back into regular duty when Georgia Tech football analyst Kim King was unable to call games and later died in the fall of 2004.

Though no longer occupying the Falcons' play-by-play booth, he has continued to appear weekly on the Falcons' radio broadcasts, hosting a studio pre-game show and taking calls following the game.

Van Note called the University of Kentucky/Middle Tennessee State game with Tom Leach on UK radio in September 2008, filling in for regular commentator Jeff Piecoro.

Resindential property review September 2018
Timely spike in remortgaging ahead of base rate rise seen
Just ahead of the Bank of England's decision to raise the base rate by a further 0.25%, the second quarter of 2018 saw over three quarters of remortgaging applications via intermediaries result in completion.
The 'Mortgage Market Tracker' released by the Intermediary Mortgage Lenders Association (IMLA) said that for the second time this year, Q2 saw an increase in the number of mortgagees endeavouring to protect themselves from forecasted base rate increases and benefit from more affordable deals.
Executive Director of the IMLA, Kate Davies, was quoted as saying: "The last 12 months have seen the end of a decade of record low interest rates that many borrowers have become accustomed to. The Bank of England's response to managing rising inflation had been widely anticipated by the industry and consumers . . . "
Proximity of quality state schools boosts property prices
Savills have reported that the proximity of top-performing state schools is one of the leading factors for families when deciding where to buy a house.
The research reveals that the average price of a house near a primary school rated 'outstanding' in England was 16% (£37,000) higher than one nearer a school rated 'good', and 30% (£61,000) higher when compared to a home in the catchment area of a primary school only rated 'inadequate' or 'requires improvement'.
Home buyers in London are paying an average of £670,000 to live close enough to the best primary schools to gain admission for their offspring.
This trend extends to Scotland where, according to The Bank of Scotland, parents are paying a premium of nearly £73,000 to live in the catchment area of a top performing state secondary school. They go on to add that the average house price in areas covering the top 20 state schools, has now reached £277,134, which represents a 36% premium to those houses in the immediately surrounding areas, now estimated at an average of £204,162.
UK assets including land and house values top £10 trillion
According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), UK housing values added £40bn to the net worth of the country's assets in 2017. Overall land values added an additional £450bn. With UK land now worth £5.4 trillion, this equates to 53% of all the wealth found in the country, an increase of a third in net assets since 1995. This figure is now just shy of the record value of 53.3%, which was recorded by the ONS back in 2006 and 2007, just prior to the global financial crash.
In summary, the net value of total UK assets now sits at a staggering £10.2 trillion, against the last valuation of £9.75 trillion.

Hello The problem is in the camera. Recently, I have noticed that the front and rear camera can not accurately identify any type of light. It emits light. My friend has Nokia 6. When compared, I see that it is not. I have never seen such a problem in my pictures. How can I solve this problem?
Actually Nokia camera is a good camera. Every nokia phone did comes with manual mode settings in their camera apps. You can try to look for it. However, do mind that the camera app will be updated soon when Nokia rolls out the camera update . The updated camera apps will give better quality and improvements. As colour reproduction was highly depends on software optimization. I believe Nokia do some tweaks to it in future . Nokia camera is good.so far let's wait for Android Oreo update first. I am exciting on the Android Oreo.


and let's not forget the gold and fuscia chevron painted cocktail tables!!!
The Regent Palms is such a stunning location for an event, an ideal backdrop where the imagination can run a bit wild. In typical fashion, I wanted to be fairly conservative in bringing in supplies and try to be resourceful with the decor the Palms already had in stock. We recycled wine and champagne bottles to make these beautiful glitter covered vases.
"During an evening of shopping, dancing and socializing, Saturday, October 11th the organizers of In the Pink held their most successful event ever, reaching their target this year of raising $30,000 which will be donated to the National Cancer Society. This year's event was hosted at Regent Palms Resort, and was coordinated by the organizing committee who have been involved with the event since its inception.
In the Pink, a powerful and inspiring event was created to honor breast cancer survivors, raise awareness about steps individuals can take to reduce the risk of getting breast cancer, and raise money to assist those persons locally who require additional assistance with extensive treatments.
The cotton candy pink limited edition Vespa was a donation from one of the patrons, part of the silent auction portion of the event.
It looked even more beautiful once the sun set, I must say fabulous job and many thanks to Paradise Photography for capturing these beautiful images.
Before, and after the guests began to arrive . . .
Big thanks to all who worked so hard to pull this years bigger and best yet event off; the Regent Palms staff, the organizers, the volunteers, and of course those that attended, shopped, and supported the cause!

Wave of 'hate crimes' in Oregon have suspicious ring to them
Wave of 'hate crimes' in Oregon have suspicious ring to them
March 31, 2019 | Vivek Saxena | Print Article
(FILE PHOTO by Karen Ducey/Getty Images)
According to politicians, activists and so-called "journalists" in the radically far-left metropolis of Portland, Oregon, the city is currently suffering from a wave of anti-LGBT violence perpetrated by "bigoted white men." But according to the investigative work of an actual Portland journalist, Andy Ngo, this oft-repeated claim appears to be a false narrative.
In a piece for the New York Post published Saturday, Ngo recounted how this narrative came to be and how it's since spiraled out of control, transforming the already radical city into a hotbed of dangerous anti-white paranoia and brownshirt-styled vigilante justice.
It started on Feb. 10, when local authorities received a report about a drunk gay woman found on the sidewalk with scrapes on her face and knuckles. Officers suspected that the woman, Sophia Gabrielle, had simply fallen and hit her head. She refused to cooperate with them and even reportedly threatened them, saying, "If you don't treat me right, my people will get you."
A so-called bias-crimes unit briefly reviewed the case but found no evidence to back up her claims, so the case was dropped. And yet the case wound up going viral because of Gabrielle, who launched a sensational GoFundMe claiming she'd been the victim of a "brutal and aggressively blatant hate crime" in which she's been beaten unconscious with a bat.
A GoFundMe for activist Sophia Gabrielle Stanford went viral after it was alleged she was "violently attacked from behind with a baseball bat" by transphobes. That's not at all what the police reports say. Read my story for the @nypost: https://t.co/UxkmKYxYEC pic.twitter.com/HeVI5eX6Ox
— Andy Ngo (@MrAndyNgo) March 30, 2019
"In progressive Portland where the '#Resistance' is mainstream, stories like Stanford's feed into a whisper campaign of violent homophobes, transphobes and racists lurking on every corner. A moral panic had now been ignited," Ngo reported.
He wasn't kidding. Within days of Gabrielle launching her GoFundMe, "the number of alleged hate attacks ballooned through uncorroborated and vague online rumor."
"These stories were then amplified by progressive media, nonprofit groups, businesses and politicians. Activists, driven by their own personal grievances, then launched a crusade to find the phantom suspects, doxing and targeting innocent people in the process."
"Activists sent out 'attack alerts' warning the queer public to carry Mace and to travel in groups. Other activists circulated photos and addresses of the alleged attackers in flyers around town and on social media posts."
Who contributed to the panic? @lyft. @portlandmercury. @lgbtqnation. @gaystarnews. Who else? Mayor @tedwheeler. His communications office ignored my repeated inquiries & his comm dir @eileenparkpdx hid behind security when I approached her for comment. https://t.co/UxkmKYxYEC pic.twitter.com/EGX6oo0MeO
But not once was an effort made to corroborate these claims. In most cases they weren't even reported to the authorities; they were just posted to social media. Nor were there witnesses to the alleged crimes. Yet the panic grew, and the city's far-leftists soon found a target for their rage: the Proud Boys.
According to the far-left, the Proud Boys is a far-right, neo-fascist, white supremacist group that aims to "Make America White Again." Never mind that the Proud Boys is, in fact, a pro-free-speech, pro-liberty fraternity compromised of a bevy of minorities such as Enrique Tarrio, who was raised in a Cuban family in Miami's Little Havana.
"As the number of shares and retweets increased on this post and similar posts, so too did the number of alleged attacks. What started off as two stories of hate crimes grew to 15. The claims grew wilder. The Proud Boys were accused of now using hammers and wooden planks as weapons. Also alleged: an attempted kidnapping," Ngo reported.
HERE'S WHAT YOU'RE MISSING …
And with the accusations came leftist-styled vigilante justice against folks like Robert Zerfing, a local conservative activist who used to attend the Proud Boys' free-speech rallies, and who was accused of owning the same type of car used by one alleged victim's attacker.
"Doxers identified that Zerfing owned a maroon SUV and used that as evidence he was involved in the attack even though that car was repossessed three months ago. He showed me one of the many death threats he now receives," Ngo reported, adding that every Proud Boy member be contacted denied taking part in any anti-LGBT attacks.
In a statement to Ngo, Proud Boy member Fred Swink, an openly gay man, reiterated that, despite the left's portrayal of the group as a hate group practically equivalent to the Ku Klux Klan, it's not actually hateful: "The Proud Boys is the most welcoming organization that I have ever been a part of."
It's also the same group that went out of its way two years ago to help the victims of Hurricane Harvey:
#Antifa are having a MELTDOWN!
Proud Boys members stepped up & protected #Houston communities from Alt-Left lootinghttps://t.co/5NbpYAZvOc pic.twitter.com/zUyr1W3Y4c

— Joe Biggs (@Rambobiggs) September 2, 2017
According to Wilfred Reilly, a political scientist at Kentucky State and author of the book "Hate Crime Hoax," it seems unlikely that any of the alleged anti-LGBT crimes even occurred.
"If you were actually beaten by a group of homophobes, you'd go down to the precinct house before you'd go on Twitter and Facebook," he told Ngo, adding that the lack of evidence, the refusal to cooperate with authorities and the sensational nature of the claims point to them being hoaxes.
But none of this matters to Portland's radically far-left residents, who are so indoctrinated in far-left-wing orthodoxy that they're incapable of looking past their anti-white/anti-conservative biases and paranoia.
It's ironic. Portland is considered to be a utopia by the left because of its overwhelming abundance of left-wing policies, left-wing residents and left-wing lifestyles.
Yet thanks to the apparent delusions of grandeur boasted by the city's virulently left-wing populace, it appears the city has transformed into a dystopian nightmare (of their own creation) where "violent homophobes, transphobes and racists lurk[] on every corner."

McCain Reportedly Declines Meeting with Billy Graham
Conservative news outlet Newsmax is reporting that its attempts to facilitate a meeting between John McCain and longtime pastor-to-the-presidents Billy Graham have been rebuffed by the McCain campaign.
Here is Newsmax writer Doug Wead:
In recent weeks I have been involved with Brian Jacobs, a Fort Worth, Texas, minister and consultant to the Billy Graham Association, to broker a meeting between McCain and Graham. In May, we contacted the McCain campaign with an offer to arrange such a meeting, as we had done between candidate George W. Bush and Graham during the 2000 election.
In response to their overtures, McCain's director of scheduling sent Wead and Jacobs an emailing saying, "Senator McCain appreciates your invitation and the valuable opportunity it represents. Unfortunately, I must pass along our regrets and do not foresee an opportunity to add this event to the calendar."
The hesitance on the part of the McCain campaign may be because of McCain's past experiences with pastor's this campaign season: he's had to dump endorsements from John Hagee and Rod Parsley after controversial statements from both men made it politically impossible for McCain to stay associated with them. (Caveat: there may be no hesitance at all; Newsmax may have gotten this story wrong.)
Billy Graham isn't Hagee or Parsley. He has had a relationship with every president since Eisenhower, Republicans and Democrats alike. He has been thoroughly and completely vetted; no one would blame McCain for meeting with him. The campaign's reported decision to avoid Graham may be part of a novel strategy for a modern Republican presidential candidate, one that jettisons the Religious Right in favor of moderates. It's already being manifested in ways that are leaving prominent Christian leaders wary. "For John McCain to be competitive, he has to connect with the base to the point that they're intense enough that they're contagious," Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, told the New York Times. "Right now they're not even coughing."
Writes Wead:
The rejection of an offer to meet with Graham is yet another indication that the McCain campaign has made a deliberate, strategic decision to chart a new course for the GOP, a course without the sizeable evangelical Christian voting bloc serving as its base.
The new course is likely designed to pick up disaffected Democrats, even Sen. Hillary Clinton's women supporters, who are pro-choice.
The danger for McCain is in his campaign's failure to grasp the size of the born again vote. Latest surveys show that fully 42 percent of all Americans claim to be "born again."
But the risk is not just that the Republican nominee will lose evangelical voters but that he will lose its massive infrastructure: megachurches with their schools, television programs and massive mailing lists which traditionally play a crucial role for Republicans in voter registration and voter turnout. The cost to the party of replicating this role themselves would be incalculable….
The theory behind the McCain campaign's strategy to ignore evangelicals is that they have nowhere else to go, that Obama is too liberal, and they"ll vote against him come November.
The wisdom of this decision remains to be seen. Obama, who has been courting evangelicals and recently hired a full-time staffer to do evangelical outreach, may have the strongest appeal to (former) members of the Religious Right of any Democratic politician since Jimmy Carter. And if moderates buy the Democrats' contention that McCain is running for a third Bush term, McCain's gamble may leave him with no one in his corner.
Update: I've spoken with Billy Graham's publicists and they have no idea what is going on. They promised to call me back when they had answers.

QUESTION: Monica, you've had a lot of success against Conchita in the past. Why do you think that is and what were you able to do against her today?
SELES: I wanted to come out very aggressive today against her, try to take control of the point. I was pretty successful, and on a couple of key points I just went for them and they went in today, and I tried to just play my game really yesterday and today.
QUESTION: Monica, how are you feeling right now? You don't sound very well, but how are you feeling and how do you think you'll feel tomorrow for the finals?
SELES: I hope I'm going to feel a lot better. This morning I didn't feel well. I didn't practice at all or anything, so I wasn't sure how I was going to feel in the match, but once the match started and I got going, I started feeling okay. I forgot about my temperature and everything. As long as my temperature goes down hopefully for tomorrow, that would help a lot.
QUESTION: How do you feel about playing Martina Hingis tomorrow?
SELES: It's really exciting. The tennis Martina has been playing this year is unbelievable. I lost to her very easily at Lipton a week ago today. So it's a tough job ahead of me tomorrow. Hopefully a lot of rallies, but I'll just go out there and do the best that I can.
QUESTION: When you lose that badly to somebody and so recently, how does that affect you going into the next time you play them?
SELES: Really doesn't affect me either way because it's a new place, new stadium. I treat each match individually.
QUESTION: Monica, we're just not used to seeing you on that side of the score like the end of the Lipton. What did she do that day? Was there something particular?
SELES: She did everything very well. She really never gave me a chance to get into the match, and she played some great tennis. I was off, and that was it. She was better that day.
QUESTION: Is clay a better surface for you than the hard court, do you think?
SELES: I really don't think so. I really think I like hard courts better, but last year I didn't have too much success on clay. Before I was very confident on clay, and I hope I can get back that comfortable feeling on the clay.
QUESTION: What would a win tomorrow do for you as far as getting back to that level where you were a couple years ago? What would that do for you?
SELES: Well, for my tennis career it would be great. It would be nice to win a tournament this year. Obviously I have only played one tournament. That would be wonderful, but whatever happens, I know I have a long road to the Grand Slams where I really would like to play well, and just really go out there tomorrow and play the best that I can. Thank you.

Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel: Get Used to Endless War
From ISIS to climate change, the Pentagon chief says, the threats that face the United States are long-term challenges.
David A. Graham,
By David A. Graham
Sometimes it feels like what's happening now, at any given moment, is bigger, more important, worse, and more dangerous than before. Luckily, that often turns out to be incorrect: Today's news is tomorrow's hazy memory, and what once seemed like an existential threat is now nothing more than an unpleasant recollection.
It sure seems like there are frightening events happening everywhere today—from ISIS to Ebola, Russian imperialism to Chinese saber-rattling, climate change to congressional dysfunction. But is it really worse, or will this, too, pass?
Bad news: It's really worse, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel told James Fallows at the Washington Ideas Festival Wednesday.
"I think we are living through one of these historic, defining times," Hagel said. "We are seeing a new world order—post-World War II, post-Soviet Union implosion—being built. There are many questions, foremost among the American people: What's the role of America in this new world that is evolving? Should we have a role? What is appropriate?"
And Hagel didn't seem especially sanguine that it would end anytime soon. In other words: Get used to endless war.
"What we're seeing in the Middle East with ISIL is going to require a steady, long-term effort. It's going to require coalitions of common interest," Hagel said.
But he noted that cooperation is in short supply, especially in his old stamping grounds on Capitol Hill, where Hagel served two terms in the Senate. "I hope that changes after next Tuesday; I don't know," he said. "Partnership is critical, because its not a matter of 'We all have to agree.' We need different opinions, but ... both sides get to some conclusion and make a decision on how we go forward."
He noted in particular the challenge of global warming, which Hagel's Pentagon has made a priority, declaring it a national-security threat, even as Hagel's own Republican Party continues to block broader steps.
Even if a new era of comity arrived in Washington, however, Hagel forecast that the U.S. would continue to grapple with overseas threat for the foreseeable future. "Tyranny, terrorism, the challenges and threats to our country ... is going to be with us," he said. "It's a reality. I see these things continuing to stay out of there."
Buckle your seatbelts.

The Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) is a retirement savings plan for federal employees, and since 2000, it has been open to military personnel. The TSP is a defined contribution plan, similar to the 401(k) plans that many private companies offer their employees. As with any defined contribution plan, the income you receive from your TSP account will depend on how much you put into the account and the earnings on your investments.
Participation in the TSP is optional; you must sign up for a TSP account with your service. You contribute to the TSP from your own pay; currently, the services do not match contributions. Your contributions and the earnings on your investments belong to you. There are special conditions that may apply for contributions by uniformed service members.
The TSP website (TSP.gov) explains the TSP benefits available to uniformed service members and provides account information, including online statements. You may allocate contributions, make inter-fund transfers, and initiate loan and withdrawal requests online.
In contrast to the TSP, the uniformed services retirement system is a defined benefit plan. The retirement benefit you receive is based on your years of service and the rank you hold at the time of your retirement. Visit the Department of Defense, Defense Finance and Accounting Service for additional information on military retirement and benefits.

Climate report: Hottest year, highest greenhouse gas marks, record sea levels
The records highlighted in the "State of the Climate in 2016" report from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration sound ominous.
• Global land surface temperatures last year were highest in 137 years of record keeping.
• Sea surface temperatures were also at their highest.
• Sea levels were at record highs in the 24 years that satellite record keeping has been used.
• Greenhouse gas marks rose faster than any year and carbon dioxide readings were above a 400 parts per million average for the year for the first time.
NOAA's report pointed out that the heat in 2016 resulted from a strong El Niño early in the year and long-term global warming.
El Niños are weather phenomena that warm the Pacific Ocean and pump lots of excess heat into the atmosphere, raising temperatures.
They are only one factor in the warming of the planet. Climate scientists have said the role of an El Niño is a relatively small one when compared to the role that humans play.
Confirmation of January report
The report confirmed what NOAA, along with the World Meteorological Organization, announced in January about global temperatures.
According to the report released Thursday, the global land and ocean surface temperature was 0.45?-0.56?C above the average for 1981 to 2010. The temperature was also more than 1?C over the pre-industrial average.
The 2015 Paris Climate Agreement set a goal of capping warming at 1.5 degrees over the pre-industrial average.
2016 was the third consecutive year of record warmth, NOAA, an agency in the Commerce Department, said.
The release comes days after news that the authors of a not-yet-released federal report on climate change worry the White House will intervene before their findings can be published. On Monday the New York Times published a previously released draft of the special science section of the National Climate Assessment that is posted online.
CNN was told the version of the draft that is awaiting Trump administration approval has since been revised twice, although the main findings of the report are still in line with the findings in the version of the draft published by the Times.
The authors say their fears are rooted in the overall message emanating from the Trump administration.
"We have yet to see any pushback, there's been no muzzling, but the uncertainly comes from an obvious place," an author of the report who asked not to be named said. "If the administration is backing out of the Paris agreement and there's not a strong backing of the idea of human caused climate change, than our report will most surely come into conflict with some of those stated ideas."
A White House official told CNN it will "withhold comment on any draft report before its scheduled release date."

What will be better Android app development or web design/development according to future.
@Shakti Singh If you want to ask the question from a career perspective then both are good. I have friends working as website developers as well as mobile app developers and they both have pretty good salaries and they love their jobs. It all depends on what you like to do. Both fields will require different skill sets and knowledge of programming languages.
Which ones do you prefer? What is your current status on knowledge about these fields?
I agree with Ankita ma'am.
Website development is in great demand right now. But by that I don't mean HTML or CSS. I mean backend programming is in demand and is a great career path.
Similarly, android development which is currently a very prospering field also has great future.
So, it's completely up to you to choose the field.
I recommend learning Java programming language. There are several advantages in doing that. First - Android development will be easier for you to pick up. Plus, if you focus on the concepts and understand them very well, it'd be easier to pick up web development languages as well.
My personal belief is that web development will take over app-development in near future. First, the app world is shifting from native mobile apps to Progressive Web Apps because they hold a lot of potential. Google's backing the PWA initiative because it directly helps them save their business - which is search advertising.
Once you have full-stack skills-set you can apply to any number of jobs. Full stack developers are in great demand and will always be.
Another important recommendation I have for you is that you should join the relevant 'Group' in our Groups app. It will help you stay up to date with relevant domain that you've chosen and have a chance to interact with the community that's active in that specific domain.

What Does Being Queer Really Mean
As You Are April 23, 2021
The word "queer" has a hurtful history. In the past, people used it to disrespect and put down the LGBT community. However, nowadays, the word is used with pride by the LGBT community as a way of identification as part of the community. Before you use the word "queer" on someone, you want to ensure that they're comfortable with it.
The LGBT community uses the word queer to describe people who aren't cisgender or straight. Transgender, gay, lesbian, and bisexual people may identify with as gay. If you feel like your gender and sexuality is a little complicated, or that it may change over time, you may identify as queer. You may also identify as queer if your gender or sexual identity doesn't squarely fit into identities such as gay, straight, female, or male.
Sometimes, people feel that the terms gay or lesbian may be too limiting. There are those who live within the gray areas of LGBT and thus feel the term queer is more apt.
It is an umbrella term
As we noted earlier, the term queer can be used by people who are not sure or comfortable about using a label. Young people who are just discovering their sexuality find that they're more comfortable when they feel a sense of community around them. Fortunately, once you realize that sexuality and gender are quite fluid and aren't written in stone, then you can use this term to identify yourself.
The word queer acknowledges that sexuality is fluid and ambiguous and it's ok to embrace this nature. You don't have to know what you are or who you are. And that's ok.
When you think about this, you will see that queer refers to an intersection of identities. Other than lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender, identifying as queer may mean you are asexual, intersex hence the term LBGTQIA+. The + sign may refer to pansexual or pangender identities or people in alternative relationship models such as non-monogamy, kink, swinging, or even polyamory. We can all celebrate our differences because of our individual uniqueness.
You can accept someone for who they are and they'll accept you for who you are. There's an aspect to the word "queer" that doesn't allow people to be in isolation. Even though the word can be used by all members of the LGBTQIA+ community, it doesn't specifically belong to one particular group.
Today, the use of the word queer is a celebration of reclamation. As we mentioned earlier, the word was previously used as a derogatory term. Using the word is like an affirmation of who you are and a realisation that you do not have to be like everyone else. It is an acknowledgement that we all have to celebrate our differences.
The word queer, is like a warning of sorts. That if you try to put people in any kind of box of who you require or need them to be, they will continue to break free.

Kashmir's willow bat industry anticipates huge sales during Indo-Pakistan Series
Anantnag Business
Anantnag (Jammu and Kashmir), Dec.25 (ANI): Manufacturers of willow cricket bats in Jammu and Kashmir rejoice as they expect a surge in enthusiasm for cricket resulting in huge sale of bats during the Twenty20 international between India and Pakistan.
India and Pakistan are to resume bilateral cricket ties with a Twenty20 international in Bangalore on Christmas Day.
The two teams will play a second T20 match in Ahmedabad before taking part in three one-day internationals in Chennai, Kolkata and Delhi.
The willow bat industry is located 40 kilometers away from Srinagar, on the banks of Jhelum at Sangam village in Anantnag District of south Kashmir, which is the hub of the Valley's cricket bat manufacturing industry.
Mainly seven villages are engaged in willow bat manufacturing, Charsoo, Hallmullaha, Bijbehara, Sangam, Sethar, Pujteng and Mirzapor in south Kashmir. All these villages fall on the Srinagar-Jammu national highway (NH 1A).
Eijaz Ahmad, a manufacturer, said that the people of the valley were fond of cricket and thus anticipated a surge in the sale of bats during the match.
"As the Pakistan team will play in India for the one day or T20 international, we will be benefited. There will be a huge sale of bats when they will come to play," said Ahmad.
Feroz Ahmad, another manufacturer, said that the youths are full of enthusiasm and are thrilled when India and Pakistan play match together.
"We get lot of benefit due to the international tournaments which take place and specially when India and Pakistan play for one day or T20, the players get excited. They want also to play and that is why there is huge demand for the bats," said Ahmad.
The last series between the two sides was Pakistan's tour of India in 2007 although Pakistan travelled to India to play the World Cup semi-final in Mohali last year. (ANI)

NYSERDA Open Letter
Dear Governor Hogan, Speaker Jones, and President Ferguson,
As world leaders, government officials, non-governmental organizations, and scientists convene in Glasgow, Scotland to discuss climate change at this year's United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26), we wanted to bring to your attention new data that highlights the important role nuclear energy plays in reducing carbon emissions while keeping electricity costs affordable.
In October, the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) provided an update to the New York State Climate Action Council on its work to examine the implications of current and potential policy actions on carbon emissions reductions as well as the economy-wide costs for various climate mitigation scenarios.
The report found that policies to reduce carbon emissions that value nuclear energy's role in New York would "result in substantial health benefits from improved air quality, on the order of $50 - $120 billion from 2020-2050." Further, the report found that if the State discontinues its programs that recognize nuclear energy's carbon-free attribute, leading to decisions not to move forward with plant relicensings, the cost to consumers could increase dramatically. In fact, the report found that retiring New York's nuclear power plants rather than relicensing them would increase costs by about $10 billion.
As the members of the Nuclear Powers Maryland coalition, we believe the future depends on our state and our country embracing power sources like nuclear energy that keeps utility costs down while releasing no harmful pollution into the air we breathe. Like New York, Maryland has enacted serious climate goals, goals that will require the continued operation – coupled with significant expansion – of all zero-carbon emission generation resources.
NYSERDA's scenario analysis is an important reference point for Maryland as the state continues to examine how best to move forward in its efforts to provide carbon and emissions free energy across the state. NPMD believes Maryland can benefit by conducting a similar analysis that quantifies both the value provided by the state's most reliable and abundant source of zero-emission electric generation, as well as the cost to Marylander's if those resources do not operate through their expected lifetime. As Maryland's largest source of carbon-free energy, nuclear energy is the state's most important tool for enabling cities, communities and businesses to transition to clean energy, while maintaining access to affordable, reliable electric power.
We look forward to continuing to work with you in advance of the 2022 legislative session on policies to support Maryland's commitment to reducing statewide greenhouse gas emissions.

Die Walvis Bay-Ndola-Lubumbashi Development Road (zuvor Trans-Caprivi Corridor bzw. bis 2004 Trans-Caprivi-Highway) ist seit 2010 die Bezeichnung für ein Fernstraßen-Netz zwischen Walvis Bay an der namibischen Atlantikküste und Lubumbashi in der Demokratischen Republik Kongo.

Das Fernstraßennetz wird von der Walvis Bay Corridor Group, insbesondere zur Steigerung der Nutzung des Hafen Walvis Bay, vermarktet.

Geschichte
Der Korridor erhielt seinen Namen nach der namibischen Region Caprivi (seit August 2013 Sambesi) und nach dem Caprivizipfel, durch den das bedeutendste Teilstück der Strecke führt. Caprivi mit der Hauptstadt Katima Mulilo war bis zur Fertigstellung der Fernstraße im Jahre 1999 auf dem Landweg nur schwer von West- und Zentralnamibia aus zu erreichen. Größte natürliche Hindernisse sind der Okavango und der Cuando, deren Flussläufe den Caprivizipfel von Nord nach Süd durchqueren. Diese Flüsse werden nun von der Baganibrücke und der Kongolabrücke überspannt. Es sind jeweils die einzigen Flussquerungen auf Hunderten von Kilometern. Seit der Fertigstellung der Katima Mulilo-Brücke über den Sambesifluss hat Namibia eine gute Direktverbindung in das zentralafrikanische Nachbarland Sambia, während Sambia über die Straße einen schnellen Zugang zum Überseehafen in Walvis Bay erhalten hat.

Aufbau
Der gesamte Trans-Caprivi Corridor umfasst ein Straßennetz von etwa 2600 Kilometern.

Namibia
Der Trans-Caprivi Corridor verfügt in Namibia über eine Länge von etwa 1390 Kilometern.
 Nationalstraße B2 – zwischen Hafen Walvis Bay und Karibib
 Hauptstraße C33 – zwischen Karibib und Otjiwarongo
 Nationalstraße B1 – zwischen Otjiwarongo und Otavi
 Nationalstraße B8 – zwischen Otavi und der Katima Mulilo-Brücke

Sambia
In Sambia ist der Korridor etwa 1160 Kilometer lang.
 T1 – Grenze zu Namibia bis Lusaka
 T2 – Ndola bis Lusaka
 T3 – Grenze zur Demokratischen Republik Kongo bis Ndola

Demokratische Republik Kongo
In der Demokratischen Republik Kongo ist der Trans-Caprivi Corridor etwa 100 Kilometer lang und führt von Lubumbashi über die N1 nach Kasumbalesa und bis zur Grenze nach Sambia.

This is not a Buddypress Courseware issue, please check in with the theme vendor to fix it. Thanks.
@riccardo.p could you send me an email to stas@nerd.ro with some details and credentials so I can take a look?
When creating lecture, there's an option in the sidebar to pick the parent lecture, that's how lectures get ordered/organized.
Try this, leave just BuddyPress enabled with the default theme, and try again.
Maybe its an issue with your theme.
Make sure you follow it.
@sellarsc you need to quick add bibliographies directly on the lecture/assignment page. Also please open separate threads for different questions.
It looks like an issue with WordPress MultiSite. I need to take a look at it.
I tested latest stable WordPress and BuddyPress, and I couldn't reproduce this.
If anyone can email me the credentials to your setup: stas@nerd.ro, I would gladly take a look.
Courseware doesn't really use roles. It uses capabilities, basically you are free to create any roles and map capabilities the way you want those.
Hey guys, could you share your setup? What WordPress and BuddyPress versions are you using?
This is really weird, since no changes were made to code responsible for saving pages.
I'll test it out and get back to this.
I find proposed wireframes space wasteful. I'm not a big fan of Metro UI, but having a spaceless grid with avatars and some hover name/meta will look way better imho.
Warnings can be switched off by adding: ini_set('display_errors','off'); in your wp-config.php. It's my fault cause this got out.
Looks like there's an issue with permalinks.
