I was able to scrape the title, date, links, and content of news on these links: https://www.news24.com/news24/southafrica/crime-and-courts and https://www.news24.com/news24/southafrica/education.

The site has various types of URLs so your code was omitting them since they found it malformed or some had to be subscribed to read.For the ones that has to be subscribed to read i have added "Login to read" followers by the link in articles . I ran this code till article number 670 and it didn't give any error. I had to change it from .xlsx to .csv since it was giving an error of openpyxl in python 3.11.0.

The woman managed to untie herself and ran to seek help. She reported the incident to the police, who then started searching for Chauke.READ | Kidnappings doubled nationally: over 4 000 cases reported to police from July to SeptemberOn 10 May the following year, Chauke pounced on his second victim - a 55-year-old woman.He took her to the same secluded area next to the dam, raped her and tied her to a tree before fleeing. This time his victim was unable to free herself.Her decomposed body was later found, still tied to the tree, Mamothame said. His third victim was targeted months later, on 3 August, in the same area. According to Mamothame, Chauke attempted to rape her but failed.""He then tied her to a tree and left her to die,"" he said. Chauke was charged in connection with her murder.He was linked to the crimes via DNA.READ | 'These are not pets': Man gives away his two pit bulls after news of child mauled to deathIn aggravation of his sentence, State advocate Benny Kalakgosi urged the court not to deviate from the prescribed minimum sentences, saying that the offences Chauke had committed were serious.""He further argued that Chauke took advantage of unsuspecting women, who trusted him as a pastor but instead, [he] took advantage of their vulnerability,"" Mamothame said. Judge Frances Snyman agreed with the State and described Chauke's actions as horrific.The judge also alluded to the position of trust that he abused, Mamothame said.Chauke was sentenced to life for the rape of the first victim, 15 years for the rape of the second victim and life for her murder, as well as 15 years for her murder. He was also declared unfit to possess a firearm."
1,'I am innocent': Alleged July unrest instigator Ngizwe Mchunu pleads not guilty,4h ago,"Former Ukhozi FM DJ Ngizwe Mchunu has denied inciting the July 2022 unrest.Mchunu pleaded not guilty to charges that stem from the incitement allegations.He also claimed he had permission to travel to Gauteng for work during the Covid-19 lockdown.""They are lying. I know nothing about those charges,"" alleged July unrest instigator, former Ukhozi FM DJ Ngizwe Brian Mchunu, told the Randburg Magistrate's Court when his trial started on Tuesday.Mchunu pleaded not guilty to the charges against him, which stems from allegations that he incited public violence, leading to the destruction of property, and convened a gathering in contravening of Covid-19 lockdown regulations after the detention of former president Jacob Zuma in July last year.In his plea statement, Mchunu said all charges were explained to him.""I am a radio and television personality. I'm also a poet and cultural activist. In 2020, I established my online radio.READ | July unrest instigators could face terrorism-related charges""On 11 July 2021, I sent invitations to journalists to discuss the then-current affairs.

In my African culture, I regard him as my father.""Mchunu continued that he was not unhappy about Zuma's arrest but added: ""I didn't condone any violence. I pleaded with fellow Africans to stop destroying infrastructure. I didn't incite any violence.I said to them, 'My brothers and sisters, I'm begging you as we are destroying our country.'""He added:They are lying. I know nothing about those charges. I am innocent. He also claimed that he had permission to travel to Gauteng for work during the lockdown.The hearing continues."
2,Jukskei River baptism drownings: Pastor of informal 'church' goes to ground,5h ago,"A pastor of the church where congregants drowned during a baptism ceremony has gone to ground.Johannesburg Emergency Medical Services said his identity was not known.So far, 14 bodies have been retrieved from the river.According to Johannesburg Emergency Medical Services (EMS), 13 of the 14 bodies retrieved from the Jukskei River have been positively identified.The bodies are of congregants who were swept away during a baptism ceremony on Saturday evening in Alexandra.The search for the other missing bodies continues.Reports are that the pastor of the church survived the flash flood after congregants rescued him.READ | Jukskei River baptism: Families gather at mortuary to identify loved onesEMS spokesperson Robert Mulaudzi said they had been in contact with the pastor since the day of the tragedy, but that they had since lost contact with him.It is alleged that the pastor was not running a formal church, but rather used the Jukskei River as a place to perform rituals for people who came to him for consultations. At this stage, his identity is not known, and because his was not a formal church, Mulaudzi could not confirm the number of people who could have been attending the ceremony.Speaking to the media outside the Sandton fire station on Tuesday morning, a member of the rescue team, Xolile Khumalo, said: Thirteen out of the 14 bodies retrieved have been identified, and the one has not been identified yet.She said their team would continue with the search.

3,Six-month-old infant ‘abducted’ in Somerset West CBD,9h ago,"Authorities are on high alert after a baby was allegedly abducted in Somerset West on Monday.The alleged incident occurred around lunchtime, but was only reported to Somerset West police around 22:00. According to Sergeant Suzan Jantjies, spokesperson for Somerset West police, the six-month-old baby boy was taken around 13:00. It is believed the infant’s mother, a 22-year-old from Nomzamo, entrusted a fellow community member and mother with the care of her child before leaving for work on Monday morning. However, when she returned home from work, she was informed that the child was taken. Police were apparently informed that the carer, the infant and her nine-year-old child had travelled to Somerset West CBD to attend to Sassa matters. She allegedly stopped by a liquor store in Victoria Street and asked an unknown woman to keep the baby and watch over her child. After purchasing what was needed and exiting the store, she realised the woman and the children were missing. A case of abduction was opened and is being investigated by the police’s Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences (FCS) unit. Police obtained security footage which shows the alleged abductor getting into a taxi and making off with the children. The older child was apparently dropped off close to her home and safely returned. However, the baby has still not been found. According to a spokesperson, FCS police members prioritised investigations immediately after the case was reported late last night and descended on the local township, where they made contact with the visibly “traumatised” parent and obtained statements until the early hours of Tuesday morning – all in hopes of locating the child and the alleged suspect.Authorities are searching for what is believed to be a foreign national woman with braids, speaking isiZulu.Anyone with information which could aid the investigation and search, is urged to call Captain Trevor Nash of FCS on 082 301 8910."

<p>Derby Futsal Club Ladies’ team are renamed Derby Futsal Club Women.</p>
<p>The change in name reflects Derby Futsal’s work in developing all aspects of futsal on and off the court.</p>
<p>It reflects the way the league (FA National Futsal Women’s Super Series), the players, the fans and the management refer to the game.</p>
<p>Hannah Roberts, Derby Futsal Club Women captain, believes “the change from Ladies to Women’s is a subtle but important one. Many professional sports teams have moved towards ‘Women’s’ in the last five years in order to stay modern and in touch, and as a forward-thinking club it’s important for Derby Futsal to do the same. We’re making so many strides in our community work and marketing, and this name change is another step forward to the future for the club”.</p>
<p>Derby Futsal Club Women first team coach, Matt Hardy feels this name change signifies evolution for the team; “the future of the women’s game both at Derby and nationally is looking bright. So it’s only right that we have a name that is modern, and inline with the national game”. </p>
<p>This news follows similar moves in professional football. Chelsea, Manchester City and Arsenal have all renamed their women’s team recently. It is something Professor Kath Woodward from the Open University, an expert on sociology and sport agrees with, “the use of ladies suggests a physical frailty and need for protection”.</p>
<p>Alex Scott, former Arsenal Women captain, adds: “the term ‘Women’s’ delineates between men and women without as many stereotypes or preconceived notions and it is in keeping with modern-day thinking on equality”.</p>

My question is, how do you handle the tags so that the return line white space is managable?
Put this in your css:
p {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
And just replace 0 with whatever suits (0.5rem, 20px, whatever floats your boat really).
I have been trying to create distractors (false answers) for multiple choice questions. Using word vectors, I was able to get decent results for single-word nouns.
When dealing with compound nouns (such as "car park" or "Donald Trump"), my best attempt was to compute similar words for each part of the compound and combine them. The results are very entertaining:
Car park -> vehicle campground | automobile zoo
Fire engine -> flame horsepower | fired motor
Donald Trump -> Richard Jeopardy | Jeffrey Gamble
Barrack Obama -> Obamas McCain | Auschwitz Clinton
Unfortunately, these are not very convincing. Especially in case of named entities, I want to produce other named entities, which appear in similar contexts; e.g:
Fire engine -> Fire truck | Fireman
Donald Trump -> Barrack Obama | Hillary Clinton
Niagara Falls -> American Falls | Horseshoe Falls
Does anyone have any suggestions of how this could be achieved? Is there are a way to generate similar named entities/noun chunks?
I managed to get some good distractors by searching for the named entities on Wikipedia, then extracting entities which are similar from the summary. Though I'd prefer to find a solution using just spacy.
If you haven't seen it yet, you might want to check out sense2vec, which allows learning context-sensitive vectors by including the part-of-speech tags or entity labels. Quick usage example of the spaCy extension:
s2v = Sense2VecComponent('/path/to/reddit_vectors-1.1.0')
nlp.add_pipe(s2v)
doc = nlp(u"A sentence about natural language processing.")
most_similar = doc[3]._.s2v_most_similar(3)
# [(('natural language processing', 'NOUN'), 1.0),
# (('machine learning', 'NOUN'), 0.8986966609954834),
# (('computer vision', 'NOUN'), 0.8636297583580017)]
See here for the interactive demo using a sense2vec model trained on Reddit comments. Using this model, "car park" returns things like "parking lot" and "parking garage", and "Donald Trump" gives you "Sarah Palin", "Mitt Romney" and "Barack Obama". For ambiguous entities, you can also include the entity label – for example, "Niagara Falls|GPE" will show similar terms to the geopolitical entitiy (GPE), e.g. the city as opposed to the actual waterfalls. The results obviously depend on what was present in the data, so for even more specific similarities, you could also experiment with training your own sense2vec vectors.
hey this was kind of explained to me before but having trouble appying the same thing now to almost the same page...
page = 'http://www.imdb.com/genre/action/?ref_=gnr_mn_ac_mp'
table = soup.find_all("table", {"class": "results"})
for item in list(table):
for info in item.contents[1::2]:
info.a.extract()
link = info.a['href']
print(link)
name = info.text.strip()
print(name)
code above tries to capture the link to each page of each film contained in the a tag in the variable info... and the text in it has the name of each film but instead i get all the text. is there any way of just getting the name?
thanks guys in advance!!!
Just just need to pull the text from the anchor tag inside the td with the class title:
In [15]: from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
In [16]: import requests
In [17]: url = "http://www.imdb.com/genre/action/?ref_=gnr_mn_ac_mp"
In [18]: soup = BeautifulSoup(requests.get(url,"lxml").content)
In [19]: for td in soup.select("table.results td.title"):
....: print(td.a.text)
....:

Pretty much all the data you would want is inside the td with the title class:
So if you wanted the outline also all you need is the text from the span.outline:
In [24]: for td in soup.select("table.results td.title"):
....: print(td.a.text)
....: print(td.select_one("span.outline").text)

Just like how you got the link by doing
info.a['href']
You can also get the title of the movie by doing
info.a['title']
Hopefully this is what you're looking for!
