Description
Normally, data transfer between programs is accomplished using data structures suited for automated processing by computers, not people. Such interchange formats and protocols are typically rigidly structured, well-documented, easily parsed, and keep ambiguity to a minimum. Very often, these transmissions are not human-readable at all.
Thus, the key element that distinguishes data scraping from regular parsing is that the output being scraped was intended for display to an end-user, rather than as input to another program, and is therefore usually neither documented nor structured for convenient parsing. Data scraping often involves ignoring binary data (usually images or multimedia data), display formatting, redundant labels, superfluous commentary, and other information which is either irrelevant or inimical to automated processing.
Data scraping is most often done to either (1) interface to a legacy system which has no other mechanism which is compatible with current hardware, or (2) interface to a third-party system which does not provide a more convenient API. In the second case, the operator of the third-party system may even see screen scraping as unwanted, due to reasons such as increased system load, the loss of advertisement revenue, or the loss of control of the information content.
Data scraping is generally considered an ad-hoc, inelegant technique, often used only as a “last resort” when no other mechanism is available. Aside from the higher programming and processing overhead, output displays intended for human consumption often change structure frequently. Humans can cope with this easily, but computer programs will often crash or produce incorrect results.
Screen scraping
Screen scraping is normally associated with collecting visual data from a source, instead of parsing data as in web scraping. Originally, screen scraping referred to the practice of reading text data from a computer display terminal’s screen. This was generally done by reading the terminal’s memory through its auxiliary port, or by connecting the terminal output port of one computer system to an input port on another.
As a concrete example of a classic screen scraper, consider a hypothetical legacy system dating from the 1960she dawn of computerized data processing. Computer to user interfaces from that era were often simply text-based dumb terminals which were not much more than virtual teleprinters (such systems are still in use today[update], for various reasons). The desire to interface such a system to more modern systems is common. A robust solution will often require things no longer available, such as source code, system documentation, APIs, and/or programmers with experience in a 45-year-old computer system. In such cases, the only feasible solution may be to write a screen scraper which “pretends” to be a user at a terminal. The screen scraper might connect to the legacy system via Telnet, emulate the keystrokes needed to navigate the old user interface, process the resulting display output, extract the desired data, and pass it on to the modern system.
In the 1980s financial data providers such as Reuters, Telerate, and Quotron displayed data in 24×80 format intended for a human reader. Users of this data, particularly investment banks, wrote applications to capture and convert this character data as numeric data for inclusion into calculations for trading decisions without re-keying the data. The common term for this practice, especially in the United Kingdom, was page shredding, since the results could be imagined to have passed through a paper shredder.
More modern screen scraping techniques include capturing the bitmap data from the screen and running it through an OCR engine, or in the case of GUI applications, querying the graphical controls by programatically obtaining references to their underlying programming objects.
Web scraping
Main article: Web scraping
Web pages are built using text-based mark-up languages (HTML and XHTML), and frequently contain a wealth of useful data in text form. However, most web pages are designed for human end-users and not for ease of automated use. Because of this, tool kits that scrape web content were created. A web scraper bears little in common with a screen scraper, and is nothing more than an API to extract data from a web site.
Report mining
Main article: Report mining
Whereas data scraping and web scraping involve interacting with dynamic output, report mining involves extracting data from files in a human readable format, such as HTML, PDF, or text. These can be easily generated from almost any system by intercepting the data feed to a printer. This approach can provide a quick and simple route to obtaining data without needing to program an API to the source system.

Especially the wedding market, 37,42 inch flat panel TV has become the main choice.

Early life
McGregor was born in the Perth Royal Infirmary, was brought up in the nearby small town of Crieff, and went to the independent fee-paying school Morrison’s Academy. His mother, Carol Diane (ne Lawson), is a teacher and school administrator, and his father, James Charles Stuart McGregor, is a physical education teacher. His mother is the sister of actor Denis Lawson, the sister-in-law of the late actress Sheila Gish, and the step-aunt of the late Lou Gish. McGregor attended Guildhall School of Music and Drama in 1988 to study drama. Six months before graduating, he won a leading role in Dennis Potter’s six-part BBC series Lipstick on Your Collar, and has been working steadily ever since.
Career
Film
McGregor made his feature film debut in 1993 in Bill Forsyth’s Being Human. The following year, he earned widespread praise and won an Empire Award for his performance in the thriller Shallow Grave, which marked his first collaboration with director Danny Boyle. His major international breakthrough soon followed with the role of heroin addict Mark Renton in Boyle’s film version of Irvine Welsh’s Trainspotting.
McGregor has been featured as the male romantic lead in Hollywood films such as Moulin Rouge! and Down With Love, and in the British film Little Voice. He received excellent reviews for his performance as an amoral drifter mixed up in murder in the Scottish film Young Adam (2003), which co-starred the acclaimed Scottish actress Tilda Swinton. McGregor was offered the lead role as James Bond in the 2006 reboot Casino Royale but he turned it down because he feared becoming typecast.
McGregor is one of the few major male actors to repeatedly do full-frontal nudity in many of his films, including Trainspotting, Velvet Goldmine, The Pillow Book, and Young Adam. He also played gay and bisexual characters in Peter Greenaway’s The Pillow Book, Todd Haynes’ Velvet Goldmine, and now recently in the new film with Jim Carrey, I Love You Phillip Morris.
In 2005, McGregor lent his voice to two successful animated features; the robot Rodney Copperbottom in Robots, which also featured the voices of Halle Berry and Robin Williams; and the lead character in Gary Chapman’s Valiant, alongside Jim Broadbent, John Cleese and Ricky Gervais. Additionally in 2005, McGregor played two roles (one a clone of the other) opposite Scarlett Johansson in Michael Bay’s The Island and then appeared in Marc Forster’s Stay, a psychological thriller co-starring Naomi Watts and Ryan Gosling.
McGregor has narrated the STV show JetSet, a Scottish series following the lives of student pilots and navigators at RAF Lossiemouth as they undergo a gruelling six-month course learning to fly the Tornado GR4he RAF’s primary attack aircraft.
McGregor appears opposite Colin Farrell in Cassandra’s Dream, and will co-star with Daniel Craig in Dan Harris’ upcoming film adaptation of Glen Duncan’s novel I, Lucifer. He also appeared in 2003’s “Big Fish” and alongside Jim Carrey in 2009’s I Love You Phillip Morris.
Star Wars
In 1999, McGregor starred in the blockbuster Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace as Obi-Wan Kenobi, a role originally made famous by Sir Alec Guinness in the original Star Wars trilogy. He reprised his role for the subsequent prequels Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones (2002) and Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith (2005). McGregor took very special care (especially in Revenge of the Sith) in his portrayal to ensure that Obi-Wan’s mannerisms, speech timings, and accents closely resemble Obi-Wan’s “Alec Guinness Self”. In appearing in the Star Wars films, he was continuing a family tradition of sorts: his uncle, Denis Lawson, had played Wedge Antilles in the original trilogy.
Theatre
McGregor starred alongside Jane Krakowski, Douglas Hodge, and Jenna Russell in the original Donmar Warehouse production of Guys and Dolls in London at the Piccadilly Theatre. He played the leading role of Sky Masterson, made famous by Marlon Brando in the film, and he received the LastMinute.com award for Best Actor in 2005. He was also nominated for a Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actor in a Musical.
From December 2007 to February 2008, he starred as Iago in Othello at the Donmar Warehouse alongside Chiwetel Ejiofor as Othello and Kelly Reilly as Desdemona, a role he reprised on BBC Radio 3 in May 2008.
Personal life
McGregor at the 2007 Toronto International Film Festival
On 22 July 1995, in a village in France, McGregor married Eve Mavrakis, a French production designer, whom he met while filming a guest appearance on the British television series Kavanagh QC. They have two daughters together, Clara Mathilde (born February 1996) and Esther Rose (born 7 November 2001), and McGregor has a Heart and Dagger tattoo of their names on his right arm. In April 2006, McGregor and his wife adopted Jamiyan, a four-year-old girl from Mongolia (born June 2001). McGregor refuses to talk about his family in interviews; “because it’s private.” During the “fly-on-the-wall” filming of preparation for the Long Way Round and Long Way Down journeys, McGregor went to great lengths to keep his children and information that could reveal the location of his home away from the cameras. Unlike travelling companion Charley Boorman, whose daughters often appeared in front of the cameras, McGregor did not have his children present at the send-off or other filmed parts of either adventure, but they were filmed at the end when his family greeted him at the end of the journey. Having lived in London for some time, in 2008 the family relocated their main base to their home in Los Angeles, while retaining their home in London.
A keen motorcyclist since his youth, McGregor undertook a marathon motorcycle trip with his friend Charley Boorman and cameraman Claudio von Planta in 2004. From mid-April to the end of July, they travelled from London to New York via central Europe, Ukraine, Russia (including Siberia), Kazakhstan, Mongolia, and Canada on BMW R1150GS Adventure motorcycles, for a cumulative distance of 22,345 miles (35,960 km). The trip formed the basis of a television series and a best-selling book, both called Long Way Round. En route the Long Way Round team took time out to see some of UNICEF’s work in Ukraine, Kazakhstan, and Mongolia. The Long Way Round team reunited in 2007 for another motorcycle trip from John o’ Groats in Scotland to Cape Town in South Africa. The journey, entitled Long Way Down lasted from 12 May until 5 August 2007.
McGregor’s brother, Colin, is a Tornado GR4 pilot in the Royal Air Force. Colin joined the motorcycle team during the early stages of the Long Way Down journey. His father Jim McGregor also rode on sections of both Long Way Round and Long Way Down, while his mother Carol surprised him in the latter stages of his African journey, serving him a can of Coca-Cola at a lodge in Malawi.
In an episode of Parkinson in 2007, McGregor said that he has given up alcohol after a period where he was arguably a functioning alcoholic, and that he has not had a drink in seven years. In 2008, he had a cancerous mole removed from underneath his right eye.
Charity Work
McGregor does a great deal of charity work, including with UNICEF and GO Campaign, and he has hosted the annual Hollywood gala for GO Campaign for the past two years. In 2007 he and friend, Charley Boorman, did work for UNICEF in Africa.

September 1, our newly revised "soybean" National standards will be implemented, which would end 80 years since the last century has been in use for the old soybean national standards. As a mandatory national standard, the revised standards and criteria developed countries will be at a standard level, and promoting the flow of the soybean market to meet social needs, the total grain supply to maintain a balance, to ensure food security.
8 18, our province to monitor the quality of grain inspection laboratory chief Yu Wei explained to reporters, according to regulations, national standards should be revised once a year, for various reasons, has not been modified. Soybeans in 1986 to develop national standards has been far from soybean industry meet the current needs of the new "soy" national standard, the addition of high oil and high protein soybean defined categories, which will highlight our advantages of non-genetically modified soybeans , the formation of good quality and inexpensive, high-quality soybean crush Cooking oil The price will likely be increased.
Embarrassed domestic soybean It is understood that in recent years, China's consumption level increases, domestic oil, protein consumption, the rapid growth of soybean imports are sharply increasing. An indisputable fact that soybean exports from China have turned into a net importer of power. Last year, China's soybean imports have reached more than 3700 tons, about 2.5 times the domestic soybean production.
Strong force in the import of soybeans, the domestic soybean embarrassing situation. Importer of soybeans, soybean pricing did not. Since last year, Financial Crisis, the Chicago soybean futures prices nosedive, so hard to escape domestic soybean prices, soybean farmers suffered heavy losses. Countries in November 2008 on the implementation of purchasing and storage of soybean policy to protect the interests of domestic soybean farmers, but the Customs Department in May, according to a report: "China's purchasing and storage policy formation 'high price', in the case of global trading bleak flow of large quantities of cheap soybeans to China so that China's soybean imports monthly for 5 consecutive months, more than 3 million tons. "
Yu Wei told reporters that the old standard is based on soybeans last century 80's inspection and testing technology set. Over time, domestic soybean and soybean imports for the detection is not very clear distinction, but for the average domestic soybean with high oil, high protein soybean no significant difference, which makes should have high prices and high oil, high protein soybean with general domestic soybean price levels. But not the cash crops of economic, cheap prices hurt farmers, soybean farmers are not planting initiative has been high.
Soybean producing areas in northeast province, most of the high oil, high protein soybeans. I Xingnong Wei grown from a Department data show that the province of soybean acreage this year than in 2008, a decrease of nearly 30 mu. 10 years ago, the province of soybean planting has reached 4,000,000 to 500 acres. Soybean planting in our province who are familiar with the "decreasing" to sum up this situation, and Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces are also the same situation. Standard to high-quality edible oil
enjoy higher prices Soybean imports in the growing number of today, in 1986 to develop national standards of soybean industry can not meet the current demand. In accordance with the revised national standards for the principle of periodic review, the State Grain Administration Bureau of Food and Agriculture Organization of the relevant provincial departments, research institutes, universities and large-scale food enterprises have been revised to the standards.
In the new "soy" national standard, the first addition of high oil and high protein soybean definition, no longer distinguish the northeast soybean and common soybean, Unity Named as soybean, and canceled Feed Beans category. In addition, the new standard rate to determine the level of full grain quality standards, provide a full grain less than 75% of the substandard level, the standard rate of increase in grain damage, while both North and South provinces of soybean production, circulation and water standard is set at 13 %. In the high oil and high protein soybean quality requirements, were required for more than 20% oil content, protein content of 40% and reached a new national standard second class of soybeans.
New national standard defines the general rules of inspection, testing batches and determine rules.

Home Appliances
Increasing product variety, the city's exports of household appliances in contact with food products more than 100 million U.S. dollars. International contact with food products, health appliances, non-toxic requirements is also rising, but for electrical products, China's enterprises to health security far less electrical safety awareness, there is a considerable number of manufacturing enterprises is only concerned about electrical safety eligibility, while the material in contact with food does not increase attention to health indicators, leading to foreign countries on China's exports of food containers, utensils, packaging materials and food contact materials in the health indicators of excessive returns and complaints are increasing.
The professionals told reporters, for food packaging materials and containers of health indicators, States have a mandatory legal requirement. In 2003 the EU RoHS directive issued after the companies started to look at the domestic electrical appliances on the detection of harmful substances in raw materials, but the implementation of RoHS directive aims to reduce and prevent electronic and electrical wastes, environmental pollution, its definition of hazardous substances and limit the concept of indicators of different packaging materials and food, according to RoHS Directive material tested and may not apply to food packaging. At the same time many companies that only export to the European Union, Japan, products will be required to meet the requirements of safety and health programs, while other countries, little is known about health and safety requirements.
This, the city authorities to put forward four proposals export enterprises. First, the concept of change as early as possible, improve the health of the sensitivity of the product materials, to collect about the health and safety of mandatory national technical standards, according to standard selection of raw materials, organization of production.
Second, the face of severe economic situation, enterprises signed contracts with customers, in terms of the contract should be clearly the specific requirements of health indicators, increase awareness of self protection, in order to avoid the production of goods during or after the issue of goods, due to Other health and safety requirements the customer for rework or returns, causing unnecessary economic losses and, if necessary, seek the authority of the testing organization in accordance with the health standards of importing countries require a comprehensive machine health and safety testing, as far as possible to avoid risks.
Third, enterprises should strengthen management at the source, use meet the health requirements of raw materials and raw materials suppliers in the contract should be clear in the contract of raw and auxiliary materials, health and safety requirements, requirements related to suppliers of health inspection authority certificate should also be added during the dye process, stabilizer additive material process monitoring, if necessary, associated health detection, early replacement of substandard materials or improving the processing and take preventive measures.
Fourth, enterprises must organize personnel to participate in export of electronic products related to health and safety training and seminars to strengthen the internal contact with food products, health monitoring appliances, to establish safety and health system to ensure that the production process does not cause health-related materials pollution.
