   Built on .nc-pcard, so they inherit the lift, the 3D tilt from nc.js and

     · 4:5 portrait crop anchored on the face
     · a light sweep across the photograph on hover
     · the bio rising over the photo on hover / keyboard focus
   On touch screens there is no hover to discover, so the bio simply sits
