East Sussex is a county in South East England. It is bordered by the counties of Kent, Surrey and West Sussex, and to the south by the English Channel. The ancient kingdom of Sussex has had separate county administrations since the 12th century, with the county town of the eastern division being Lewes. This situation was formalised by Parliament in 1865, and the two parts were given distinct elected county councils in 1889 under the Local Government Act 1888.

The seminar can be taken as a standalone unit or combined with another seminar, any of the method courses or an NVivo course.
Presenting Qualitative Findings examines best and worst practices in reporting qualitative results and communicating research findings. In qualitative inquiry, research results are typically presented with quotes that exemplify the respondents' views or experiences regarding a given situation or topic. While quotes may well provide unique and intimate insights into a person's experiences, they fail to paint a broader picture of a study's results. Graphic displays do this job best — provided they are crafted properly. This seminar teaches you exactly that — how to craft graphic displays so that they convey the explanatory power of qualitative findings. We first look at different kinds of visual displays that are particularly suitable for exploratory, descriptive, explanatory and predictive qualitative designs. More specifically, we see that models best illustrate conceptual integration, matrices best reflect cross-tabulated information, tables are the best way to present typologies and diagrams are the best choice for depicting structure. We then turn our attention to graphic display conventions when reporting qualitative content analysis, thematic analysis, cross-case analysis and grounded theory. The second half of the seminar consists of a workshop in which participants put these ideas into practice and craft suitable graphic displays of their findings.
This seminar is the first of a series of four seminars that also includes Foundations to Qualitative Data Analysis, Coding Qualitative Data and Seeking Patterns in Qualitative Data. The seminar can be taken alone or in conjunction with the other related seminars. It can also be taught before, after or simultaneously with the Introduction to NVivo or Qualitative Data Analysis with NVivo courses.


An ultra Orthodox Jewish man went on a rampage at the Jerusalem Gay Pride Parade, stabbing six people.
Israel police have confirmed that the attacker is Yishai Shlissel, a Jewish man who, unbelievably, stabbed three people at Gay Pride in 2005, and was released from prison just three weeks ago on grounds of good behaviour.
Shlissel, who has a history of hate crimes attended the gay pride parade, before pulling out a knife and started screaming at the crowd, before stabbing people randomly.
Six people were hurt in the attack, but it's not thought that any of the injuries are life threatening.
A hand written letter did the rounds on Twitter ahead of the march, making threats against the parade, and was apparently signed by Yishai Shlissel.
Police granted a permit to 30 protesters ahead of the parade. These were right-wing religious activists who were set up by the Great Synagogue, but Shlissel was not one of these.
Aaron Ben-Zev was a marcher at the parade.
I don't understand how he got in here, how he got so close to the parade and then stabbed six people before anyone could stop him.
Where were the police? Of course, we won't let this stop us from marching, but we have to ask, where were the police? Especially when they know the ultra-Orthodox have threatened us in the past.
I could hear them screaming stuff at us about how we were animals, how god would punish us. I don't understand how they are allowed to carry on with that kind of incitement.
After what happened 10 years ago, police should be cracking down on these groups, not allowing them to stand around and scream threats at us.
After the stabbings, most of the 5000 attendees carried on, despite the sombre mood.

Q: MariaDB 10.2.19 on Linux - Performance very slow Main issue -  I have a query joining two tables that are indexed..  When I run the query, even after five hours, it's still running..   I've never gotten results back.  it's like a never ending query.
This is a new database that we just installed and really the first query we have tried.  Performance is very slow..  At this point, I'm trying to figure
out if the issue is the SERVER/CPU/Network/IO/RAM or the database itself (need to tune configuration file) or if it's the query.  When I do explain plan,
I do see indexes being used.  Is my volume of data too big for MariaDB to handle based on the numbers presented below?  Where do I begin to troubleshoot?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Specs -
•   We have MariaDB 10.2.19 on linux rhel7.5
•   Our database is mainly used to store monthly data and then we report on it and do analytic work.
•   We have around 70 plus tables.
•   3-4 users
•   I am running a query that joins two tables.  The size of the tables are listed below.  The query is not complicated – a simple Inner join on columns and for both tables I am looking for data from the year/month of 201911.  The two tables are joined by two columns and both columns are indexed on both tables.  I have modified the query to many variation and none of the queries return any rows…  even after running for 5 hours, it's still never finished and I had to kill the query.

Hepatocellular carcinoma is the most common type of primary liver cancer in adults and among the leading causes of cancer mortality in the world.
Oct. 9 (UPI) -- A study by the University of California San Diego has found that liquid biopsy may be a faster and better way to detect liver cancer.
Researchers at the UC San Diego School of Medicine, Moores Cancer Center and Sun Yet-sun University Cancer Center developed a new diagnostic test for early detection of hepatocellular carcinoma, or HCC, using a liquid biopsy containing circulating tumor DNA.
Liquid biopsies work by detecting circulating tumor DNA, or ctDNA, which are fragments of genetic material tumor cells discarded into blood, and offer several potential advantages over other methods of cancer detection. The biopsies are minimally invasive and can be done anytime during therapy, allowing doctors to monitor changes in tumors in real time.
Liquid biopsies can also detect tumors not apparent or indeterminant based on imaging and ctDNA shows the entire molecular picture of a patient's cancer. Tumor biopsies are limited to just the tested portion of the tumor.
HCC is the most common form of primary liver cancer in adults and is one of the leading causes of cancer mortality in the world. There are more than 780,000 new cases and 740,000 deaths each year from HCC, with 40,000 new cases diagnosed each year in the United States and 29,000 deaths.
"HCC and its precursor, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, have increased markedly during the past decade and disproportionally affect Hispanic males," Dr. Scott Lippman, director of Moores Cancer Center, said in a press release. "California has one of the highest rates of liver cancer in the U.S. This novel report has major implications locally and globally on this devastating disease. It's also the first report to support the potential of ctDNA for early detection for any cancer."
Current detection methods for HCC rely on imaging and a blood test for a non-specific tumor maker alpha-fetoprotein, or AFP, which is elevated when cancer is advanced.
"Non-invasive blood tests or liquid biopsies present a better alternative," said Dr. Kang Zhang, founding director of the Institute for Genomic Medicine and co-director of biomaterials and tissue engineering at the Institute of Engineering in Medicine, both at UC San Diego. "However, there has been little success in developing effective blood-based methods for screening HCC. The only blood test, AFP, has limited clinical utility due to low sensitivity."
The study identified a specific panel of methylation markers that correlated to HCC. The researchers then used a variety of machine learning and statistical methods to analyze their efficacy at detecting and assessing HCC in 1,098 HCC patients and 835 normal controls.
"Our results were very encouraging," Zhang said. "In a large clinical cohort, our blood-based HCC diagnosis highly correlated with tumor burden, treatment response and stage of cancer. Right now, oncologists are quite limited in how they detect HCC and evaluate treatment. Our study is a great demonstration of proof-of-concept for a new, more effective approach that applies to solid malignancies, HCC and beyond."


Face mask provides effective protection of your respiratory tract against air pollution, viruses and bacteria. ReSpimask captures 99,9% of airbone particles. ReSpimask is the only face mask in the world to use the latest nanofiber technology with a three-layer membrane.
In each face mask is RESPILON® membrane what is made of nanofibers. This membrane is an extremely dense network of strong fibers. The combination of these features of RESPILON® can stop even the smallest solid and liquid particles. What does this mean in practice? Dust, mould, but also smog, pollen, viruses, bacteria and mites - none of these can penetrate through the pores in the membrane.
Have any tests been made to proof ReSpimask captures all the particles?
RESPILON® membrane were tested and proved by renowned labs, such as the EMPA (Switzerland), VUT (Czech Republic) and Nelson Laboratories (USA).
How to choose the best size?
Please check the sizing chart – sizes are variable in each protection mask. Be extremly careful with juniors sizes always check the chart.
How long can you use one mask for?
If you want to use ReSpimask against pollen, dust, smog, etc., it is possible to use ReSpimask repeatedly (when the mask needs to be replaced, you'll know it by colour of the mask's surface - for example yellow for pollen). If you use ReSpimask as protection from viruses or bacteria for example during flu epidemic, we recommend to use a new mask after each removing from your face (you never know who touches the mask on the table or if the the table is not contaminated).

Julius Avery, director of the upcoming horror-flick Overlord, has been hired by Fox to write and direct a Flash Gordon movie.
Avery is an Australian director who made his debut on the Alicia Vikander-Ewan McGregor-starrer Son Of A Gun, and he made Overlord for Paramount and J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot. The film premiered at Fantastic Fest, and has been scaring up good reviews with the horror cognoscenti so far, scoring a 93 on Rottentomatoes.com as it gears up for a November 9 release. Avery grew up in Australia loving the Flash Gordon comic. He pitched his take and the studio and studio sparked to it and set him.
Flash Gordon is an adaptation of the pulp comic-strip hero who originated in 1934, with Flash pitted on the planet Mongo fighting its tyrannical ruler, Ming the Merciless. It was most famously adapted for the screen through the Buster Crabbe serials, but Seth MacFarlane's Ted gave some serious hero worship of the 1980 campy Flash Gordon movie that starred Sam Jones as the character.
The 1980 Flash Gordon film that starred Sam J. Jones and Max von Sydow used a camp style approach similar to the 1960's TV series Batman in an attempt to appeal to fans of the original comics and serial films from 1936. Although it was considered a box office success in the United Kingdom, it performed very poorly in other markets. Probably the most notable aspect of the film was its soundtrack which was composed, performed and produced by the rock band Queen, with the orchestral sections by Howard Blake. That film has since gained a significant cult following in the 39 years since its release.
But are sci-fi fans clamoring for another update to Flash Gordon? Personally, I'd rather see someone produce Mark Millar's Starlight with Sam Jones as Duke McQueen, but that's unlikely. We'll be keeping an eye on this film as it develops.


Poems become songs, as songs become protests protecting the natural world with soaring vocals, stunning guitar, and dancing rhythms.
Night is the dark time, of secrets, of mystery, when our fears come to meet us, but also come our healing graces. This is really two interwoven albums, each touching upon the theme of 'night.' There is evocative poetry set to music, and there are songs of political, environmental, and personal darkness. I hope it is not too jarring to hear the dreamlike imaginings of WB Yeats in 'Cap & Bells' next to my song 'Backstory' which tells of those in power who strive to fashion our human reality along synthetic and unhealthy lines.
I humbly offer a few more songs in that vein, telling of the awful spraying of our skies with chemical aerosols, so widely denied by both our officials, and ourselves, as well as a song about GMOs. For further information on these programs, please visit my website where there will be a list of resources for your research.
Nina Gerber played acoustic and electric guitar on many of the tracks, adding greatly to my songs by her arrangements.
May these songs move you, and touch your heart and mind.

In which we consider the Criminal Justice and Immigration Act
Written by Forest Pines; published at 12:44 pm on May 8th, 2008.
The Criminal Justice and Immigration Act gets its Royal Assent today. And it might have banned extreme porn. It might have banned some quite ordinary books, too. Nobody knows. Lord Hunt, who pushed the bill through the Lords and defeated opposition amendments, stated in the form letter he sent out to correspondants that he didn't know what pictures would or wouldn't be banned by the bill he was promoting; that would be up to the courts. The government defeated an opposition amendment which would have explicitly said the bill would only cover material also covered by the Obscene Publications Act. However, at the same time, the Ministry of Justice says that it does only cover this material, in any case, even though the government refused to say this in the text of the bill. Campaigners are celebrating their "fight" to criminalise Things They Don't Approve Of; but at the same time, The Register is reporting that the law hasn't yet taken effect, and – when they wrote that, at least – nobody had decided when it would. So, in other words, nothing is certain and nobody knows what is happening. The government hastily inserted a clause to state that it does not cover photos of events you participated in,* but nobody knows exactly what counts as "participation". There may be more debates on what the bill actually should and should not do, or a select committee. There may, indeed, be jam tomorrow – it would certainly fit in with the general tone.
Meanwhile, people are still hard at work campaigning to get the thing dropped, or, at least, to raise enough of a stink that its unworkability becomes obvious. It's good to see, too, the effect all this has had on kinky people around the country, too. The public face of BDSM in the UK isn't a very good-looking one; but with this legislation on the way, lots of sane and ordinary people** put their heads out, went to the press, and said: I'm your ordinary man or woman in the street. There's nothing wrong with being kinky, or with liking the things I like, and I don't do anything illegal, so why are you making it illegal to own photos of the things I do?
* assuming that everything is consensual and above-board, everyone else taking part was happy and smiling and so on, of course.
** part of the reason the public face of BDSM is so ugly is that the people who stand out aren't the sane, ordinary people; they are the ones who shout loudly because they're in it for the money and their ego. For more on how the UK BDSM "scene" is broken, I suggest reading Bitchy Jones, when you're not at work of course.

In which we discuss pornography, consent, and legal proposals
Written by Forest Pines; published at 12:48 pm on August 30th, 2005.
Today's Top News Story: the government is planning to ban extreme pornography.
Now, as this idea goes: where's the downside? It's going to be a vote-winner, and the Opposition are bound to take the "well, we would have done this years ago!" line. But it does open up a rather nasty can of worms which, being your stereotypical Woolly-Minded Liberal,* I have no idea what to do about. The question is: what is porn? More importantly, what is extreme?
There's no doubt that an awful lot of the stuff out there on the internet is only going to be attractive to a tiny minority of people. If you think you're the only person out there with your particular fetish, then you're wrong: someone somewhere will probably already have created a website devoted to it. The problem with that, of course, is that some people's fetishes really are not things that anyone else is going to approve of. Now, I personally have no problem with what anybody wants to do in private, but the keyword there is consensuality. Where fetishes involve doing things without the other person's consent, it's not acceptable to me.
The can of worms comes into it, though, when you consider that the proposed law would outlaw pornography that shows illegal acts. The problem is that in British law, the legality of a lot of S&M sex is a very grey area. Even if you want your partner to do certain things to you, it might not be legal.** The second can of worms is that, looking at downloaded graphics, it can be impossible to tell if consent was given at the time. Indeed, some writers and campaigners would claim that no porn is consensual at all, because of the cultural context surrounding it.
There's a lot of stuff out there, and a lot of it makes me sick to the stomach. But, even so, I'm fully expecting that this law – and it will become law – will go too far, and that we will see people being prosecuted for downloading images that, to my mind, are entirely harmless.
* I'm even a Guardian reader.
** The most famous legal case in BDSM circles is the Spanner Trial, in which a group of gay men were convicted and imprisoned for actual bodily harm even though the "victims" had consented; it is not the only one, though.

I'm reading Pat Mills' pleasingly candid memoir Be Pure! Be Vigilant! Behave! at the moment. The book contains high praise for artist and designer Kevin O'Neill, with whom Pat has worked in partnership on a number of projects over the years – perhaps most famously as co-creators of 2000AD's Nemesis the Warlock. Nemesis is one of the most powerful, dangerous, original series we have, and are ever likely to have, seen in comics history, and it's testament to Kevin's unique talent that Pat singles him out as one of the co-creators whose art inspired the direction of his scripting.
As art editor on 2000AD from 1978 through to the well-favoured early 1980s period, Kevin is a shoe-in for inclusion in this series of classic cover artists. He will have overseen the commissioning and layouts for so many of the brilliant covers from this time, and led from the front in setting the tone for the comic through many outstanding designs of his own. I'm not sure that anyone has ever captured the multi-faceted nature of 'Thrill Power' as well as Kevin O'Neill; that is: explosive, violent, dynamic, darkly humorous, horrific, rebellious, beautiful, original and preferably offensive to somebody somewhere.

Peter Brown: A Bath Painter's Travels at Victoria Art Gallery
Richard Wyatt November 5, 2016 December 2, 2016 history
Victoria Art Gallery will host a major exhibition of paintings and drawings by well-known local artist Peter Brown. Peter Brown: A Bath Painter's Travels (3 December 2016-19 February 2017) will feature 141 new oil paintings and drawings by Brown, who is commonly known as 'Pete the Street' due to his habit of painting outdoors in all weathers and chatting to passers-by who stop to watch him at work.
Abbey Church Yard by Peter Brown
The show will include scenes of many well-loved Bath locations including the Abbey, Milsom Street, George Street, Queen Square, Walcot Street and Pulteney Bridge. These will be displayed alongside views of Glastonbury Festival, London, Dublin, Granada, Seville, the Loire, Arles and India. Most of the works on display will be for sale, with prices starting from £650.
Peter Brown at work under the Stall Street end colonnade of Abbey Church Yard.
Brown's 'open air' views invariably throb with life thanks to his unerring eye for local life and colour, be it human or animal, car or rickshaw, tree or sky.
Councillor Patrick Anketell-Jones (Conservative, Lansdown), Cabinet Member for Economic Development at Bath & North East Somerset Council, which runs Victoria Art Gallery, said: "We are delighted to be hosting this major exhibition of Peter Brown's work, giving local people and visitors a chance to enjoy his wonderful paintings of Bath and further afield. Local residents will be able to see the exhibition for free with a Discovery Card."
Peter Brown said: "It was returning to Bath in 1994 that got me back into painting. I still love working in this city but in recent years I have been scratching an itch to travel. A continuing obsession with London, but also further afield to Europe and India. I never feel more alive than when I am at my easel surrounded by inquisitive strangers on the streets of Varanasi. This show is my indulgence and celebration of light, climate, people and life in this fascinating, incredible world!"
Artist Peter Brown – pictured next to one of his favourite works. Oldfield Park Station 2013
Brown is widely acclaimed as one of Britain's best 'plein air' painters, with numerous awards and best-selling shows to his name. He first came to Bath in 1986 to study a foundation course in art, completed his training in Manchester and Greenwich and then returned to the city in 1993. He is a member of the New English Art Club, the Royal Society of Portrait Painters, the Royal Institute of Oil Painters, the Pastel Society and the Royal Society of British Artists. For further information see www.petethestreet.com.
A free audio guide with commentary by the artist will be available to all visitors.
The show will be accompanied by a brand-new 128-page book, Peter Brown: A Bath Painter's Travels, which will feature many of the paintings displayed in the exhibition. The new book (£15.00) will be available from the gallery shop, alongside previous Peter Brown publications London Paintings, Brown's Bath and My Indian Travels. A Peter Brown 2017 calendar is also available from the gallery.
Talk and book signing by Peter Brown
Saturday 3 December, 11.30am-12.30pm at Victoria Art Gallery. Free to Discovery Card and ticket holders. Advance booking not required.

A typical scene, but add this twist: What if the workers spoke different languages, making it impossible for them to understand the same lists of materials and schedules?
Texas A&M University in College Station faced a similar conundrum: It needed to share a wealth of information about students, budgets and payroll - all housed in a legacy Adabas system on a central IBM 390 - with dozens of disparate systems scattered across the university's academic and administrative departments.
"What we had been doing is sharing this information by dumping it into text files and then FTP-ing them all over campus," says Timothy Chester, senior IT manager for the school's computing and information systems division.
For example, files containing student names, their dormitory locations and their class schedules would be electronically transferred to all of the departments that needed the data in their own applications. It worked, Chester says, but as soon as one student swapped classes or changed residence, which happens frequently on a campus of 44,000 students, the files were rendered inaccurate.
How the Technology Works
The answer was to develop a set of XML-based services that take vital information stored on the mainframe, such as current class schedules and students' billing information, and make it available to any and all other computing platforms via the Web.
This was accomplished using Entire X, a set of XML integration tools from Darmstadt, Germany-based Software AG. The tools, which act as data translators, enable software developers at the university to work in a variety of programming languages and incorporate existing code into new Web-accessible applications.
The biggest benefit so far is a 50% reduction in system development time, Chester says. "We wanted to go with XML-based services primarily because they're platform- and programming-neutral," he says. "You get all of the benefits of that, plus you can also support real-time transactions."
One of the first XML-based applications Chester's group developed enables students to register for classes via the Web. It's faster and more accurate than registration through an aging legacy touch-tone telephone system with just 120 lines, says registrar Donald D. Carter.
Chester's team developed a series of scripts and stored them on a Web server. Whenever a student wants to search a class schedule, a request in XML format is executed against the mainframe. The response information is also sent back in XML and is then merged with a style sheet so it can be read via the Web application.
"Entire X sits in the middle, like a traffic cop, accepting incoming messages and routing them where they need to go," Chester says. "We chose it because it supports all of our programming, including Microsoft, Java, tools from HP and Sun, and Linux, too."
Corporations can learn a thing or two from the Texas A&M implementation.
"You can have a successful system that leverages existing applications, even if those applications are long in the tooth," says Uttam Narsu, an analyst at Giga Information Group Inc. in Cambridge, Mass.
"If what you really need is not new applications but to evoke greater access to those applications, XML and Web services is a viable way to do that," he says.
After about a year of development, Texas A&M's new Web-based registration system was activated on Nov. 5, 2001, and students used it to sign up for spring classes. Carter says the system cost about $1 million to implement. Since then, it has supported about 3,000 sessions, and students have reported that it's easy to use. So far, Chester says, the IT help desk has received fewer than a half-dozen calls about the Web-based application.
"With the Web, we have a more accurate registration, because students have the visuals right in front of them on the screen," Carter says. "They can see which sections of a class are open and know instantaneously if they can get a seat.
"I've been in this business 36 years, and when we went live with this, it was an overwhelming success," he says.
As more students move to the Web to register for classes, Carter says, the plan is to gradually reduce the number of phone lines used for that purpose, thereby significantly cutting the university's communications costs.
"By this time next year, there will be very minimal use of telephone registration," he predicts.
Meanwhile, Chester's group has more plans for similar Web-based services. "We'll use this as a pilot project for other applications, such as students getting their grades online, applying for financial aid and even receiving their award letters - all online," Chester says.

Having children is one of the most expensive life choices we make. Of course it's worth every penny, but getting the balance right and ensuring a good lifestyle for your family is not as easy as it might seem. Especially if you don't have the good social and financial means already in place when starting a family.
Things are not that bad and this section of our website will guide you through the money issues that you are most likely to encounter when having a baby. From living on a budget to saving for their future, and how to get back to work after maternity leave.
And, of course, there's always our friendly BabyWonderland Forum where you can share top tips on how to manage with like-minded other parents.
The second line showed up on your test, in the ladies' at work.
Oh, my Gosh! You stare at it for a while and then feel your eyes blurring with emotion. You search for your mobile in your work handbag, packed with OPKs and pregnancy tests. "Sweetheart, I have something to tell you" and burst into tears. Finally, find your voice again and continue "On the way home, please can you pop into our bank for some info on their children's savings options?"
You wipe your eyes and nose, wrap the test nicely and lay it in the bag and get back to your desk, with your mind at rest that everything will be OK.
Child Maintenance (CM) is paid by a non-resident parent to help the resident parent/tutor raise their child. So if you care for a child whose other parent lives elsewhere - that parent should give you money. The Child Support Agency can work out and collect CM for you.
Having a baby on a budget is a common concern for any family with children. Children add extra pressure to the day to day living costs and it's not easy finding the right balance between spending and savings.
What are the causes of financial discomfort?
The answer is simple: choices cause poverty. Like everything else, it's a matter of choices. If you choose to live in a big house with a £1500+/month mortgage and £5000+/year maintenance and bills, this is an expensive choice. Choosing to have children too young, choosing to mortgage a house too early, choosing to pay for years to come for a car, these are all choices that actually lead to financial discomfort.
Saving may seem as the biggest discomfort of them all. While saving, you don't enjoy the comfort of spending on all the nice stuff you would have if you didn't save. But answer this simple question: what is for the better: ending the year with £2000 in savings, or ending it with £2000 in debt?
If you're a working mother you have a statutory right to a minimum amount of maternity leave. Your employer may also offer their own maternity leave scheme.
Statutory maternity leave is for 52 weeks. You may be entitled to receive Statutory Maternity Pay for up to 39 weeks of the leave.

Q: Jsoup Java scraping tickersymbol I understand that scraping the title uses this code scrapes the title "Google Inc (GOOG)" http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=goog:
    String name = doc.select(".title h2").first().text();

I was wondering how to scrape the title and ticker-symbol separately "Google Inc" and "GOOG":

A: (1) I have to Scrape Solution:
This is a short answer which doesn't include lines of exception handling, however, it is short and work out of box.
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
            // collect the html and create the doc
    String url = "http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=goog";
    Document doc = Jsoup.connect(url).get();

            // locate the header, title and then found the h2 tag
    Element header = doc.select("div[id=yfi_rt_quote_summary]").get(0);
    Element title = header.select("div[class=title]").get(0);
    String h2 = title.select("h2").get(0).text();

            // split by open parenthesis (double escape) and strip off the close parenthesis
            // TODO - regular expression help handle situation where exist multiple "()"s
    String[] parts = h2.split("\\(");
    String name = parts[0];
    String shortname = parts[1].replace(")", "");
    System.out.println(name);
    System.out.println(shortname);

}

Output looks like this:
Google Inc.
GOOG

(2) I don't have to Scrape Solution:
Here is really a nice post showing you how to download yahoo data programmatically.
I am also a R user and it is extremely easy to get Yahoo finance data inside R. You can do the analysis there and save that to file or database if you want. :)

A: You want to scrape the id's: "yfs_184_goog", yfs_c63_goog" and "yfs_p43_goog".
Those are the big black numbers, the little red/green numbers next to it and the percentage.
"Screen scrape" with Jsoup with element who has ID


Proteins make up a good portion of human bodies, they make up hair and nails as well as repair damaged tissues. There are also proteins used to make enzymes, hormones, and other chemicals within the body. Protein plays a key role in building and maintain the strength of bones, muscles, cartilage, skin, and even blood. The reason protein is known to be a key component in working out is no wonder considering it repairs, maintains and builds muscles.
How exactly does a guy go about building muscle and cutting fat using protein? To maintain a healthy protein intake for building muscle, consume 1 gram for every pound of body fat, that is equivalent to 2.2g/kg-3.3g/kg of body weight per day. For fat loss and cutting it's necessary to have a higher intake than one would have for 1.2 gram to 1.5 gram per pound or 2.6 to 3.3 grams per kilogram of body weight.
To get this protein there are many different avenues there is the store-bought protein shake, the classic egg shooter and a variety of foods to pick from. Among the plethora of foods that are loaded with protein some of the more popular are eggs, chicken breasts, oats, cottage cheese and tuna.
Eggs are of the most popular high protein food used by body builders and the everyday gym goer. Just one large egg is loaded with 6 grams of protein, which is quite a bit for such a small morsel. Eating about four to five eggs whether in a protein beverage or fried, maybe even scrambled is a great way to get a solid amount of protein into the start of the day.
Being such a versatile food eggs are excellent mixed in just about anything, if looking to knock two birds out with one stone making oatmeal cookies is a good way to consume this high protein food as well as making different kinds of breads, which also contain a good amount of carbs; perfect for any kind of bulking, building experience.
A total of 54 grams of protein lies within chicken breasts making them the ultimate lunch and dinner for the new workout guru and master trainer alike. These could be used in any dinner dish, make them with rice or broccoli, cook a breast up with some pasta or make a simple chicken sandwich with some organic mayo and season with salt and pepper. If looking for new ways to spice up eating chicken for bulking and cutting there are great chicken recipes online, Italian, Mexican, you name it.
Chicken is quite easy to make but can also be easily under and overcooked. To ensure this food is cooked properly, watch whether the meat is too pink or raw, for the meat to be safe for eating it should have an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
Oats are loaded with healthy fibers, magnesium, manganese, thiamin (B1) and more. Oats contain about 13 grams of protein per serving and are the easiest thing to cook next to eggs. To cook oats, it is a simple 2 cup:1 cup water to oat ratio, you boil the oats and water similar to how you would rice and add spices/seasonings as preferred. Some prefer brown sugar, vanilla and bananas, others like cinnamon, sugar and apples. Oats are versatile and can be used for things beyond oatmeal, whole oats can be used in making bread, muffins and cookies among other things.
When it comes to liking cottage cheese it is either a dead on hit or a total miss, there really is no in between, this might have a lot to do with its curd consistency, but it is worth the strange texture to get maximum protein intake. Cottage cheese is a cheese curd essentially this stuff is made into dips, used as a companion snack with pineapple and other fruit, usually the jelly stuff. Cottage cheese is loaded with protein and a great eat with everything kind of food. You can have it with/for breakfast, with lunch, with dinner, for dessert it might be worth a shot throwing a few dark chocolate chips and pineapple in with it.
Cottage cheese has 27 total grams of protein in one single serving, that is two servings of oatmeal, that is about four and a half large eggs. This curd is full of calcium, phosphorus, selenium, B12, riboflavin (B2) and other essential vitamins and minerals.
Tuna fish is the top dog as far as the high protein foods mentioned before. This fish is versatile in terms of savory dishes, it could be the easiest or hardest fish to prepare based on the dish that is going to be cooked. Tuna can be cooked in a variety of ways, it could be used in a simple canned tuna fish salad, made pan seared (this is usually done with ahi tuna), used in fried fish tacos or maybe a tuna casserole.
Everybody's favorite fruit is one of the healthiest high protein foods and are extremely simple to prepare, simply go to your local grocer and grab an avocado. Avocadoes can literally be used in anything. It is becoming popular in some cities, like Portland, Oregon, to make mango avocado smoothies and some people enjoy them in ice cream. Along with the sweets comes the more traditional savory side of avocado, people make things like burritos with avocado, rice and beans, things like egg and avocado breakfast sandwiches and many more.
Why are avocados so great for the body? Avocados are of the healthiest foods for humans, they have tons of monosaturated fatty acids and 3 grams of protein per one medium fruit. Fatty acids and proteins are the building blocks of the body and help build a great deal of muscle as well as provide the energy and fat to do so.
