Binary package hint: python-clearsilver
If I install python-clearsilver and run:
python -c 'import neo_cgi'
I get the following:
-c:1: RuntimeWarning: Python C API version mismatch for module neo_util: This Python has API version 1013, module neo_util has version 1012. -c:1: RuntimeWarning: Python C API version mismatch for module neo_cs: This Python has API version 1013, module neo_cs has version 1012. -c:1: RuntimeWarning: Python C API version mismatch for module neo_cgi: This Python has API version 1013, module neo_cgi has version 1012.
Siegfried Woldhek knows faces -- he's drawn more than 1,100 of them. Using sophisticated image analysis and his own skills as an artist, he's come up with a fascinating discovery about Leonardo Da Vinci.
Leonardo Da Vinci's life and work is well known -- but his own face is not. Woldhek used some thoughtful image-analysis techniques to find what he believes is the true face of Leonardo. Here, he walks viewers through exactly how he did it.
Today has just been insanely busy (which is why I'm not in L.A. for the announcement), and this is my first spare moment at my desk, but a lot of people have noticed that XCOR made the Drudge Report today! I've also been told via Twitter that we were on CNBC.
So, finally, we're able to talk about the Air Force contract and the Lynx spaceplane.
If a picture is worth 1000 words, what is a video worth?
Imagine a tunnel more than ten storeys underground, a hundred years old, bricklined, wet, and completely inaccessible save by descending through a narrow slit in its ceiling thirty feet above the floor, and then returning up the same rope you came down.
They're back. “Black tips,” “spinners” and “reef sharks” are making their presence felt off the coast of Palm Beach County in what has become an annual migration.
“Yeh for sure it’s always scary,” says one beachgoer.
Beachgoers and lifeguards on Riviera Beach have seen the feeding and mating frenzy first hand.
Warnings have been posted to keep swimmers out of the water.
“For the past few month's we've had alot of activity, we've had anywhere from 10 a day to over 100 a day,” says Captain William Crooks.

The as-yet-unnamed material - a form of artificial rubber - is made from vegetable oil and a component of urine.
The substance, described in the journal Nature, produces surfaces when cut that retain a strong chemical attraction to each other.
Pieces of the material join together again as if never parted without the need for glue or a special treatment.
This remarkable property comes from careful engineering of the molecules in the material.
The French researchers are already making kilogramme quantities in their Paris laboratories and say the process is almost completely green, and could be completely so with a few adjustments.
