Generate Google Slides from markdown & HTML. Run from the command line or embed in another
application.

This project was developed as an example of how to use the
[Slides API](https://developers.google.com/slides).

While it does not yet produce stunningly beautiful decks, you are encouraged to use
this tool for quickly prototyping presentations.

Contributions are welcome.

## Installation and usage

For command line use, install md2gslides globally:

```
$ npm install -g md2gslides
```

After installing, import your slides by running:

```
$ md2gslides slides.md
```

The first time the command is run you will be prompted for authorization. Credentials
will be stored locally in a file named `~/.credentials/md2gslides.json`.

## Supported markdown rules

md2gslides uses a subset of the [CommonMark](http://spec.commonmark.org/0.26/) and
[Github Flavored Markdown](https://help.github.com/categories/writing-on-github/) rules for
markdown.

### Slides

Each slide is typically represented by a header, followed by zero or more block elements.

Begin a new slide with a horizontal rule (`---`). The separator
may be omitted for the first slide.

The following examples show how to create slides of various layouts:

#### Title slide

    ---

    # This is a title slide
    ## Your name here

![Title slide](https://github.com/googlesamples/md2googleslides/raw/master/examples/title_slide.png)

#### Section title slides

    ---

    # This is a section title

![Section title slide](https://github.com/googlesamples/md2googleslides/raw/master/examples/section_title_slide.png)

#### Section title & body slides

    ---

    # Section title & body slide

    ## This is a subtitle

    This is the body

![Section title & body slide](https://github.com/googlesamples/md2googleslides/raw/master/examples/section_title_body_slide.png)

#### Title & body slides

    ---

    # Title & body slide

    This is the slide body.

![Title & body slide](https://github.com/googlesamples/md2googleslides/raw/master/examples/title_body_slide.png)

#### Main point slide

Add `{.big}` to the title to make a slide with one big point

    ---

    # This is the main point {.big}

![Main point slide](https://github.com/googlesamples/md2googleslides/raw/master/examples/main_point_slide.png)

#### Big number slide

Use `{.big}` on a header in combination with a body too.

    ---

    # 100% {.big}

    This is the body

![Big number slide](examples/big_number_slide.png)

#### Two column slides

Separate columns with `{.column}`. The marker must appear
on its own line with a blank both before and after.

    ---

    # Two column layout

    This is the left column

    {.column}

    This is the right column

![Two column slide](https://github.com/googlesamples/md2googleslides/raw/master/examples/two_column_slide.png)

### Images

#### Inline images

Images can be placed on slides using image tags. Multiple images
can be included. Mulitple images in a single paragraph are arranged in columns,
mutiple paragraphs arranged as rows.

Note: Images are currently scaled and centered to fit the
slide template.

    ---

    # Slides can have images

    ![](https://placekitten.com/900/900)

![Slide with image](https://github.com/googlesamples/md2googleslides/raw/master/examples/image_slide.png)

#### Background images

Set the background image of a slide by adding `{.background}` to
the end of an image URL.

    ---

    # Slides can have background images

    ![](https://placekitten.com/1600/900){.background}

![Slide with background image](https://github.com/googlesamples/md2googleslides/raw/master/examples/background_image_slide.png)

### Videos

Include YouTube videos with a modified image tag.

    ---

    # Slides can have videos

    @[youtube](MG8KADiRbOU)

![Slide with video](https://github.com/googlesamples/md2googleslides/raw/master/examples/video_slide.png)

### Speaker notes

Include speaker notes for a slide using HTML comments. Text inside
the comments may include markdown for formatting, though only text
formatting is allowed. Videos, images, and tables are ignored inside
speaker notes.

    ---

    # Slide title

    ![](https://placekitten.com/1600/900){.background}

    <!--
    These are speaker notes.
    -->

### Formatting

Basic formatting rules are allowed, including:

* Bold
* Italics
* Code
* Strikethrough
* Hyperlinks
* Ordered lists
* Unordered lists

The following markdown illustrates a few common styles.

**Bold**, *italics*, and ~~strikethrough~~ may be used.

Ordered lists:
1. Item 1
1. Item 2
  1. Item 2.1

Unordered lists:
* Item 1
* Item 2
  * Item 2.1

Additionally, a subset of inline HTML tags are supported for styling.

* `<span>`
* `<sup>`
* `<sub>`
* `<em>`
* `<i>`
* `<strong>`
* `<b>`

Supported CSS styles for use with `<span>` elements:

* `color`
* `background-color`
* `font-weight: bold`
* `font-style: italic`
* `text-decoration: underline`
* `text-decoration: line-through`
* `font-family`
* `font-variant: small-caps`

### Emoji

Use Github style [emoji](http://www.webpagefx.com/tools/emoji-cheat-sheet/) in your text using
the `:emoji:`.

The following example inserts emoji in the header and body of the slide.

### I :heart: cats

:heart_eyes_cat:

### Code blocks

Both indented and fenced code blocks are supported, with syntax highlighting.

The following example renders highlighted code.

### Hello World

```javascript
console.log('Hello world');
```

To change the syntax highlight theme specify the `--style <theme>` option on the
command line. All [highlight.js themes](https://github.com/isagalaev/highlight.js/tree/master/src/styles)
are supported. For example, to use the github theme

```
$ md2gslides slides.md --style github
```

### Tables

Tables are supported via
[GFM](https://guides.github.com/features/mastering-markdown/#GitHub-flavored-markdown) syntax.

Note: Including tables and other block elements on the same slide may produce poor results with
overlapping elements. Either avoid or manually adjust the layout after generating the slides.

The following generates a 2x5 table on the slide.

### Top pets in the United States

Animal | Number
-------|--------
Fish   | 142 million
Cats   | 88 million
Dogs   | 75 million
Birds  | 16 million

Council Cunts
Stallion Explosion writes "I was in a record shop in Melbourne, flicking through the vinyl, when I found a record entitled 'Hackney Council Are A Bunch Of Cunts'"
Have you been trapped in the relentless petty minded bureaucracy of your local council?
Why does it require 3 forms of ID to get a parking permit when the car in question is busy receiving a parking ticket right outside the parking office?
Or do you work for Hackney Council?

Yet more Sheffield City Council
A couple of weeks ago, Mrs Crackerjack had to take some important documents from her place of business to a company in Sheffield on her way home. As I had the TomTom that day, she was left to find it herself, toiling against the ridiculous one-way systems and closed roads due to traffic works.
She found the road, but could not actually find where the building was (it was incongruously placed between two coffee shops), and so, after parking dashed into the local council office to ask for directions.
In she ran, looking flustered, with a load of lever-arch files beneath her arms, and politely asked the ladies sat behind the reception desk if they knew where [x ltd] was. Their response was a rather brief 'no', before carrying on their no-doubt moronic conversation.
Still, it's nice to see that cuntitude is present in even the lowliest of council workers in Sheffield. It's probably some requirement.

Living in the city of Katowice in southern Poland, I had to renew a work permit to stay in the country. To do this, I had to have an official address. Since I didn't own a flat, I was renting from a woman who was paying no tax on the rent and who therefore wouldn't let me give her address as mine. I told this to the council and they said: no address - no job.
So I made one up and gave them that. No problems. I found out later that I was officially living in a butcher's shop in the town centre.

Lovely Lytham St Annes
I live just outside of Blackpool in sunny St Annes and we have one of the most retarded councils in the world. What follows is a genuine story (printed everywhere but this txt is lifted from the Times):
"A pensioner who lives beside the seaside has been warned by his council that he faces a heavy fine for fly-tipping if he returns windblown sand in his garden back to the beach.
Arthur Bulmer, 79, has long complained of sand drifting on to his property on the fore-shore at Lytham St Anne's, in Lancashire, but this year's gales have exacerbated the problem.
When he asked Fylde Borough Council if it was permissible to return the sand where it came from, he was told it would constitute fly-tipping. He should treat it as litter and take it to the municipal refuse tip. The council told him that they happily clear sand deposited on the public highway but once it lands on private property it becomes the responsibility of the owners.
He pensioner says that he has no alternative but to pay a specialist waste disposal firm to collect his unwanted sand and take it away."
And I pay £900 a year Council tax (oh and business rates) to these fuckwits ?!

Llywodraeth Cynulliad Cymru
This question reminds me of the time I was doing some temp work in the Welsh Assembly between college and uni.
To try to stop as many depression-related suicides as possible, we're each forced to decorate our departments at Christmas, and at the end of it all, our efforts are judged. In the week approching the big day, we all got treated to this open e-mail exchange:
I refer to my earlier e-mail, which relates to Ann's judging of and prize-giving for HSC's Christmas Decorations at Cathays Park. As I'm sure you've guessed, saying that she would be coming around tomorrow was of course a classic 'soft' deadline tactic. For information, the real date of the adjudication is now Monday 19 December.
Swiftly followed by:
Alun,
That will put us in an awkward position. As you are aware, our display involves a lot of fresh greenery which is unlikely to survive until Monday in the heat of this office. This team has put a lot of effort and personal time into competing and I, as the one who bullied them into this, will not be available to try and save the foliage as I will be in hospital that day. I am personally disappointed at this arrangement adjustment.
It should also be noted that both of these messages were send with 'high' importance. Says a lot about the governments priorities, if you ask me...

Smile please! I can't. I have no teeth.
Sheffield City Council again I'm afraid folks.
In 1998 my wife and I were walking along the road, past The Howard pub. She caught her heel in a hole caused when a crash barrier had been knocked down.
She fell, and snapped her front two teeth off. Snapped. We tried to Sue, but sadly hadn't had the presence of mind to take photos at the time, what with the hospital taking up most of my thoughts.
We went down to get pictures a week later, but they had received our lawyer's letter and had filled the hole. We got nothing other than huge orthodontist bills.

I thought libraries were supposed to be full of smart people
I changed address, and was going through the rigmarole of getting everything updated.
I dropped into the local library and was told that they couldn't change my address without something with my new address on it. Despite me gently* pointing out that as I had just changed address I didn't actually have anything with my new address on it just yet I was sent on my way.
I walked around the corner to the motor registry, got my license updated, with a nice little sticker on it with my new address, no proof needed, then straight back around the corner to the library to change my address with my updated ID.
You know you're in trouble when it takes longer to update your library account than your driver's license...
(*) possibly not all that gently

Wow, this is weird.
Only this morning, I received *three* letters threatening to send the bailiffs around for non-payment of council tax. My poor sleepy eyes couldn't believe it. I am not the most organised person, but I try and pay stuff like this off in full as soon as I get it so I don't have to think about it.
After a second, I realised that the letters were from Torridge District Council (yeah I know, where? It's in Devon apparently).
Which is splendid, apart from the fact that I've only ever driven through Devon to get to Cornwall.
I rang them and they wouldn't tell me what moronic company thought that randomly selecting me for the demand would do. If any law types know if I can get this through freedom of information or similar gaz me.
I feel I need some petty revenge for upsetting me before my morning coffee.
Hmm. What would be an appropriate response?
HEY SPAMBOTS! COME AND GET IT!
[email protected]e.gov.uk
Still. It's in a nice location on the north Devon coast. The demands totaled about £500. If I pay it, can I have the flat?

I agree with you all
I've been working in Local government for nearly five years now, and I can honestly say I've never had the displeasure of working with such a bunch of inept, feckless, moaning, useless old arsebiscuits in my life. Every single day I am subjected to the constant complaining of incompetent octogenarian administrators about the simplest, most trivial things.
I have tried, and tried, and tried to drag them all, kicking and screaming into the 21st Century, I've trained them, re-trained them and spent weeks of my time showing them how to do their incredibly basic jobs, but all to no avail. I'm no expert, and don't even consider myself particularly intelligent, but I have more common sense and basic computer skills in my left shoe than 90% of the people in this entire building.
You see, the trouble is, they're all stuck in their own little 1970's work ethic, where everybody always has to take the long way round, uber-bureacracy is the only thing they know, and nothing I ever say or do will ever change that.
Someone give me a job, any job will do, anything at all, please? I'm begging, seriously, please?
...or it won't be long before they find me on the roof, rifle in hand, screaming incoherently about how the whole Council are a bunch of total cockgizzards, picking them all off, one by gloriously satisfying one.
I kid ye not.

Newham Borough Cpuncil & The Poll Tax
It is 1990, and I am a student at what became the University Of East London in Stratford E15, though I was living in Plaistow. Still Newham though.
I decided to *pay* my Poll Tax - well, the 20% of it I had to pay as a student, which was about a hundred quid. Just to keep the sheet clear, make sure I didn't fuck up my student loan chances and so on.
So, I got the document from the council, filled it in as best I could, and trotted off with all the paperwork and a chequebook to hand. I queued, and handed it over.
"You've missed out next year's term dates"
"Yes, they're not out yet."
"Can't process this without next years term dates, you need those before you can pay"
"That's bloody ridiculous."
Stormed out, tore up the docs into little pieces and binned them, and swore Newham Council could suck my sweaty fucking ballbag, the jumped up incompetent too stupid to bend rules when someone's trying to pay them bunch of fuckwitted cunts.

For my sins I used to do 2nd/3rd line support for a shitload of councils - until they fired me for blogging and calling a server droid an incompetent fuckwit.
But, working there gave me a lot of interesting stories, a few of which I'll share with you. The first one is Bird Flu.
I'm sure you can all remember the scares about Bird Flu a year or so ago but I bet you've no idea how many mongs used to phone their local council about it. As the calls were recorded I got to listen to some of the more bizarre ones. This is one of my favourites.
Fuckwit: "I'd like to report a case of bird flu"
Op: "Yes sir - can you give me the details"
Fuckwit: "Well I was cleaning out my budgies cage and it sneezed. It's got bird flu. I've put it in the garden and I want someone to come round and take it away."
Op: "Sir - just because your budgie sneezed doesn't mean it's got Bird flu. It just means your budgie sneezed"
Fuckwit: "You don't understand. It's now fallen off it's perch and is lying upside down in it's cage"
OP: "Sir - it's minus five outside. I'm not surprised that it's fallen off it's perch"

Southsea Cunt Council
I pay two lots of Council Tax. Most of it goes to Portsmouth Council where it goes towards libraries, bin collection, coppers and so on. Fair enough.
Then I pay a little extra each year to Southsea council. Apparently 80% of their budget goes towards paying the councillors and renting their nice, shiny offices. The rest went to repairing the bit of road right outside the head cunt's house. Pisstaking to the Nth degreee.

Our rubbish is collected on Monday mornings. As Stockport council are too fucking cheap to give us wheelie bins, we have to stick our bin bags out on Monday morning.
We have recently got a nice letter from them saying that if anyone puts their bin bags out before 7am on a Monday, and the contents of the bags don't give any clues as to who they belonged to, then all the houses that back on to that alleyway will get a fine to cover the cost of any cleanup that may be needed. Considering there's about 40 houses that back on to the same alleyway as us, that gives quite a large chance of at least one household putting out their shite. There's also nothing stopping someone going over the road to dump their rubbish in another alleyway anyway.
Also, seeing as the bin men usually arrive at 8.30ish anyway, that gives people a window of approximately hour and a half to get their stuff out. Obviously they don't give a shit about anyone that's unable to put their bags out at that time.
We had a similar letter about 6 months ago and Mrs Fishcake phoned up to tell them that it was completely unfair of them to do this, only to be told that they were the rules, and that it was the only way to stop people from doing it.
Cunts.
Fucking fucking cunts.

I work in a pub, which is sadly the closest to the Council Building in town
This means we get a LOT of council cunts coming in and gettng served. It's funny, because they complain the most. They always drink the cheapest ale, and moan about when the Government raises the price by about two pence.
This one Council Crapstain (CC) drinks a smooth flow bitter. One time, I accidentally didn't let it settle, so the head of the pint was about 1cm over. In order to prevent him from arsing on about it, I asked him to take a small sip so I could top it up. CC takes an entire gulp, so I top it up. Ever since that faithful day, he believes he gets special treatment. Every time he gets a pint, he takes a gulp and demands it be topped up. As the rest of the barstaff can't stand up to anybody with the remotest bit of power, they always complied.
I decided to do something about it. Next time I poured him a pint, he asked me "do you want me to take a sip out of this then?"
I replied "If you want. You can have the whole pint if you want, considering you bought it"
He blew his top. Asked me to speak to the landlord. I explained as he was out, I was left in charge and had the right to refuse service to anyone.
It's fun to see Council Cunts being spoken to like that. They get all flustered, try and say something, spend two minutes or so in silence, then storm out.

Local council librarian facist - repost for QOTW
Being a nerdy 17 year old I wanted to join the library in the town where I worked as I couldn't get to mine other than Saturday mornings. Actually they did do vinyl rentals as well, this was over 20 years ago.
I had asked about joining and was told I'd need ID someone from work to countersign the application and a company stamp to stamp the application. I didn't live in the county so I accepted their rules.
I turn up with a colleague with a suitably impressive job title and the stamp we used in the drawing office on plans we'd send out and all of my ID. Bearing in mind I'm seventeen and live with my parents.
Snotty woman:
Fill in this form... DONE
You need someone to countersign... MY FRIEND STEPS FORWARD
Ah, you also need a company stamp... OUT IT CAME
And we need some ID... Gave her my local library card, provisional licence and a letter I had from my employers. Everything I had.
Ah, that's no good a provisional licence is not valid ID.
Being a soft git then I'm sure my bottom lip started to tremble, she'd won.., lot's of people looking and smirking.
Up steps my much older friend in a loud voice.
"YOU HAVE TO PASS YOUR TEST TO JOIN THE LIBRARY ??? DON'T BE SILLY".
There was no way she was going to let me join. Went back the next day with all the paperwork I had stamped the day before and spoke to someone else and explained the lack of "official" ID.
"No problem son, I'll make up your tickets. By the way your not the first, she is a pain in the arse"...
Just because they are in a position of power doesn't stop them being arseholes. I have since learnt that telling people what they are going to do in a calm firm voice works wonders, as in:
"These are not the droids you are looking for"

I was rather astonished to find the council tax on my 3 bed terraced house in a small devon town was £1200 per year.... SO I decided to appeal the tax banding.
They told me the tax is calculated on the value of the house in 1991. That's ok, it was only built in 2005 I told them.
So they estimate what it was worth in 1991. I'm sure its wrong and I'm getting screwed on it but the appeal process is a dead end really.
Plus they've changed the bin collection schedule as follows:
Thursday of week one; Brown wheelie for food waste/organic waste only.
Tuesday of week two: Black box for recyclable materials except plastic of which my bin seems to pretty much only contain.
Thursday of week two: Black bin for non organic or recycled waste.
Then everytime there is a holiday screw it all up to make everyone miss out, thus making it another couple of weeks before anything is collected leaving stinky nappy bing bags in the sunshine for 3 weeks :-)
Also, the bin lorry drives over the pavement ripping up the tarmac, so the council wont adopt the road. So the developer repairs it and requests the council inspect and adopt the road, before they do the bin lorry does it again. Unless there is a car parked in the street then the bin lorry doesn't bother with our road at all leaving the rubbish to rot for another couple of weeks.
We pay for that service.

More SCC cuntitude:
More evidence of Sheffield City Council's cuntery lies in the number of listed buildings which have mysteriously burnt down when the council weren't granted permission to knock them down and build an eyesore on the site. Arson is bad enough when it's a private individual trying to cash in. When it's the democratically elected leaders of your local authority, it sticks in the craw somewhat.
sheffield council
Invested millions in the Student Olympics. Yes - the Student Olympics, that world famous sporting event that draws TV crews from around the world. When they even actually took place, they were paying people to be spectators because no one gave a fuck. I think they had the Crippled Student Olympics after that - which was an even hotter ticket. During the athletics, there was more people on the track than in the stadium seats. As far as I know, the city is still in debt from that shit.
Then there was the £100,000 party they threw to celebrate Neil Kinnock's victory in the general election. What victory? Oh yes, he lost - and Sheffield's taxpayers got to pick up the bill.
When I was at school it cost 2p to travel by bus anywhere in the city (10p for adults). Then they privatized the buses and it cost about 2 quid and you'd have fifteen buses arriving at the same time.
Credit to 'em though, they've made the city look less like a nucelar apocalypse since the nineties.

Me and Mary were living away from home when the fucking council went and called us back for a census. So we got the fucking donkey and set off back home. Of course, all the fucking hotels were closed and we could only get a barn. Mary was up the stick and the sprog was due any minute. Long story short, she dropped him in the barn. Then three fucking kings turn up.

...a firm of bailiffs this month, who were put on my arse by Manchester council tax office earlier this year. As far as I can tell they did this because the witless workshy near-illiterate bunch of chavtastic bitches that pretend to work there couldn't take the blueberry muffins out of thier mouths for long enough to answer the fucking phone for two months previous to my finding the bailiff's note pushed under my door. Oh, that made my day alright.
Basicallly my DD got messed up and I needed advice, couldn't get through to them to get it so I waited until I could. They negated my need for advice by fucking my credit rating and setting bailiffs on me for the first time in my life - presumably attempting to contact me before doing this never occurred to them. They remain completely indifferent, or did on the one, fucking ONE occasion I've been able to contact them by telephone this year.

Once put a parking meter in front of my window.
Not adjacent too...in front of..it was about 3cm away from the glass and obscured the window. I also had the joy of people looking into my lounge whilst sticking a pound in the meter.
To top it all i then had to buy a permit to park in my own street. I eventually got it moved after a lot of complaining and a few council brainiacs coming round, scratching their chins and saying 'i cant see what the problem is.' I convinced them by asking if any of the councillors had parking meters in a similar position outside their house which funnily enough they didn't.
My council also pulled a lovely stunt by closing down one car park and forcing all the office workers to use an alternative, more expensive car park further away. This was to make way for a new building development. When the builders moved in to start work, the council blocked off a whole street so they could park their cars (not the machinery..the workers cars). This was of course at no charge to them
The explanation was that 'they needed to get to the work site'. They didnt listen to the voices of the hundreds of office workers who had worked there and will continue to work there for many years.
Apologies for length..I didnt mean to choke you with it.

My local council decided to close a road near the local school in an effort to encourage people to walk the school run, reducing their carbon footprint as well as making life easier for us unfortunate bastards who live near the school and have to put up with the endless stream of 4x4s (don't get me started on them) clogging up our quiet suburban avenue.
I had visions of them closing the entire stretch of road, about 300m long, freeing up space for residents only.
Instead they closed a portion of road about 2 houses long. The immediate approach to the school.
Talk about a token gesture.
And all it did was make more people park in our road as they couldn't park right outside the school.
Wankers, the lot of 'em!

My local council are fucking cunt-holes.
The bunch of cunts who 'run' Sheffield City Council decided not to send me my voting card until a week after the election. At the time, the council was majority Labour, whereas where I live was a Liberal stronghold. Coincidence? I think not.
I still managed to vote, mind. The people in the polling station said that lots of people had stayed at home instead of coming and exercising their democratic rights. I'm not surprised; I didn't realise that you couldn't vote without a polling card either.
Another thing that made my blood boil this week was a letter from the police, explaining that it's illegal to put up a sign on our road which says 'Residents' Parking Only', as it's not a private road per se, merely a non-adopted road which the council don't have to pay to have maintained. So, we've got a road that we have to repair ourselves if we want to use it as a road rather than a dirt track, but they can allow any cunt to park on it - even though spaces are difficult to get for the people who live there? CUNTY CUNTY CUNTS.
Grrr.
Fire! Rats! Filth! Terror!
There were seven of us living in a large house in Sheffield. We were all men in our early twenties, lazy to a fault, and our lives revolved around takeaways, drugs, dancing and playstation. We were not the tidyest of groups. This untidyness was exacerbated by the fact we were a party house - the after party was usually held at ours and on more than one occasion I came home at about 9 or 10 in the morning to find a party going on in my living room, and me not recognising anyone.
Periodically we would have a mass clean up, and shovel everything into bin bags. However, as there was too much for a bin to handle, we just lobbed it into the garden. This carried on for months, and eventually there were in the region of 60 black bags, full of rubbish; old food, cans and so on.
Our landlord persistently asked us to remove this steaming pile of crap before the rats came. We agreed to, but just never got round to it. Then the council were involved, sending over environmental health inspectors and giving us 28 days to remove the rubbish, or they would do it and give us a hefty bill.
We agreed to do it. However, a couple of days before the agreed mass clean-up was to happen my folly solved the problem. I left a newspaper on top of the oven. The last person to use the hob had left it on, but switched it off at the wall. My mate put some food in the oven, turned it back on and when I went in to check progress the kitchen was ablaze. Panicking, we scooped the burning matter into a tray. That caught fire, owing to the fat and grot still on it. We opened the back door and lobed the tray out, straight onto 60 bags of highly combustible litter.
We didn't have to clean up the litter, or deal with the rodents that were indeed living there. However we did have a lot of explaining to do to the Fire Service, Police and above all the council, who were determined to believe it was deliberate.
I was once given a tax reimbursement for being first to post, but that was a while back.
Second doesn't come with the same Kudos sadly.

DR Congo: Bodies of Two UN Experts Found
4 Congolese Still Missing
Update March 28, 2017: The United Nations peacekeeping mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo, MONUSCO, confirmed on March 28, 2017, that the bodies of Zaida Catalán, a Swede, and Michael Sharp, an American, were found by UN peacekeepers near Bunkonde in Kasai Central province on March 27.
The two members of the UN Group of Experts on Congo had been reported missing, along with their Congolese interpreter, Betu Tshintela, a motorbike driver, Isaac Kabuayi, and two unidentified motorbike drivers, on March 12, while investigating large-scale human rights violations in the region. The UN reported that efforts continue to find the team's Congolese members.
The following quote can be attributed to Ida Sawyer, Central Africa director at Human Rights Watch:
"We express our deepest condolences to the families, colleagues, and friends of Michael and Zaida, who lost their lives while seeking truth, justice, and an end to the violence and abuse that Congolese in the Kasai region and beyond have long suffered. We hope that the UN's search efforts promptly locate Betu, Isaac, and their two other Congolese colleagues. Our thoughts are with their loved ones. An international, independent investigation is urgently needed into these deaths and disappearances, and the broader violence in the Kasai region, to help end the abuses there and bring those responsible to justice."
(Kinshasa, March 25, 2017) – The Democratic Republic of Congo government should fully cooperate with United Nations efforts to locate a UN Group of Experts team that has been missing since March 12, 2017, in Kasai Central province, Human Rights Watch said today.

Those missing are Michael Sharp, an American; Zaida Catalán, a Swede; Betu Tshintela, a Congolese interpreter; Isaac Kabuayi, a driver; and two unidentified motorbike drivers. They were investigating widespread human rights abuses near the remote village of Bunkonde, south of the provincial capital, Kananga.
"We are extremely worried about the missing UN team," said Ida Sawyer, Central Africa director at Human Rights Watch. "The Congolese government should cooperate fully with the UN and other international investigators to do all they can to bring the team back safely."
On March 13, the Congolese government announced that Sharp and Catalán had "fallen into the hands of unidentified negative forces," but has provided no additional information.
The UN peacekeeping mission in Congo, MONUSCO, deployed Uruguayan peacekeepers and Tanzanian special forces on a search and rescue operation for the missing people. These efforts have suffered from a lack of cooperation from the Congolese government.
On March 18, MONUSCO expressed "serious concern over restrictions placed on its freedom of movement by security forces in Kananga," which "restrict the ability of the Mission to exercise its mandate."
This is the first time that UN experts have been reported missing in Congo, Human Rights Watch said. It is also the first recorded disappearance or abduction of international workers in the Kasai provinces, a region that until recently had been largely peaceful, unlike eastern Congo, which has long been embattled by dozens of armed groups.

The UN Group of Experts on Congo, established in 2004, consists of six experts appointed by the UN secretary-general to monitor the Security Council's sanctions regime for Congo and to propose individuals and entities to be added to the sanctions list. The experts collect and analyze information about armed group activities, their networks, arms trafficking, and those responsible for serious human rights violations. Their reports are among the most comprehensive and reliable sources of information about conflict dynamics in the Great Lakes region of Africa.
On March 12, France called on MONUSCO and the Congolese authorities to "deploy all necessary resources" to find the missing UN team. Germany later made a similar call, while Belgium said that the UN team's disappearance was "a serious blow to the efforts of the international community to bring back peace and stability in the DRC."
Since large-scale violence erupted in the Kasai region in August 2016, more than 400 people have been killed and more than 200,000 displaced from their homes, according to the UN. Human Rights Watch has received reports of scores of people killed in recent weeks.
The violence in the Kasai region is purportedly about customary control over local chieftaincies, but there are also clear ties to national political dynamics, with the Congolese army backing the leadership of people seen to be loyal to President Joseph Kabila and his political coalition, and the Kamuina Nsapu militia groups supporting people seen to be closer to the opposition.
The violence escalated after security forces killed Kamuina Nsapu, the apparent heir to the throne of a chieftaincy in the Tshimbulu area, in August. Since his death, the militia named after him has grown into more of a popular movement than an organized armed group with clear command structures. Some militia members have turned their demands to the national political crisis, calling for President Kabila to step down. His constitutionally mandated two-term limit ended on December 19.
The militia has recruited large numbers of children, and its members believe in magic powers that they say make them impervious to bullets. Carrying sticks and other crude weapons, militia members have attacked security forces and some government buildings in Kasai, Kasai Central, Kasai Oriental, Sankuru, and Lomami provinces.
Congolese government officials said on March 21 that 67 police officers and several Congolese army officers had been killed in the Kasaï region since the violence broke out.
Security forces have at times responded to the militia with excessive force, unnecessarily firing on alleged militia members or supporters, including women and children.
Democratic Republic of Congo in Crisis
Congo is at a critical juncture
Read our blog:
Over two dozen mass graves have been reported in three Kasai provinces since January. Five videos have also emerged from the Kasais in recent weeks, showing soldiers firing on unarmed or lightly armed alleged militia members, including many women and children.
The UN Human Rights Council and UN member countries should support the call by the UN high commissioner for human rights to create a commission of inquiry or a similar independent, international investigation into the situation in the Kasai region, Human Rights Watch said. This could be adopted at a special session of the Human Rights Council.
On March 22, Congo's human rights minister said in her closing remarks at the Human Rights Council's Interactive Dialogue on Congo that the Congolese government would cooperate with MONUSCO and the African Union in their investigations into the violence in the Kasais.
"The missing UN team reflects a bigger picture of violence and abuse in the Kasai region," Sawyer said. "The Human Rights Council should establish a commission of inquiry into abuses in the region as soon as possible. Concerted efforts are urgently needed to address this increasingly desperate situation."

Q: Solr operator similar to reverse like operator in SQL The documents in my Solr index have one field containing wildcards, e.g. *smith. I want to be able to query this field in a similar way as one would do with a reverse like operator in an SQL database.
For instance, in MySQL if I have a table called names with a column wildcards (wildcards containing wildcard characters as in %smith), I would be able to write SELECT * FROM names where 'john smith' like wildcards and get one result for the query.
Is this possible with Solr and ideally Solr Java API?

F-22 Raptor ("граблива птица") е американски изтребител за завоюване на въздушно превъзходство, който трябва да замести преди използвания F-15. F-22 е оборудван с най-модерни стелт-технологии. Освен като изтребител, самолетът може да се употребява и за бомбардировки, радиоелектронна борба и разузнаване.

Разработване
През 1981 г. ВВС на САЩ обявяват конкурс за разработване на нов изтребител за въздушно превъзходство, който да конкурира съветския Су-27 и да замести F-15. Изискванията към новия самолет са били да използва колкото може повече от появяващите се по това време революционни бойни технологии – стелт-покритие, композитни материали и сплави, както и най-мощните за времето двигатели и модерна авионика. През 1986 г. две обединения на американски оръжейни корпорации предлагат оферта за разработване на новия изтребител – Lockheed/Boeing/General Dynamics и Northrop/McDonnell Douglas. Създадени са два прототипа – YF-22 (на Lockheed) и YF-23 (на Northrop), като след тестовете YF-22 е избран за победител. На 14 януари 2003 г. първият Raptor е въведен в експлоатация във военновъздушната база Нелис, Невада. Предвижда се производството да продължи до 2011 г., като на година се произвеждат 20 самолета. На 29 август 2007 г. е доставен 100-тният произведен самолет.

Конструкция
F-22 е първият в света изтребител от пето поколение. Фюзелажът му е изграден от полимери, намаляващи триенето и увеличаващи устойчивостта му, допринасяйки за по-висока максимална скорост без форсаж. Авиониката включва активна радарна решетка, системи за намаляване на излъчваните от самолета сигнали и друга свръхмодерна техника. Благодарение на всички нововъведения в оборудването Raptor може да служи като малък АУАКС. Бордовият компютър има памет от 300 MB. Стелт-способностите на самолета са постигнати чрез няколко метода – особената форма на фюзелажа, композитните материали, употребата на радар-поглъщащ материал, който предотвратява отразяването на радарни сигнали, както и двигател с намалено отделяне на топлина. За разлика от останалите стелт-самолети, F-22 може да бъде разполаган и ремонтиран в обикновени хангари.

Оператори
За момента САЩ са единственият оператор на F-22, като не се предвижда той да бъде предназначен за износ. Въпреки това интерес към закупуване на самолета има от страна на Австралия, Израел и Япония.

Best Movie Of All Time top ten
Mohamed Ali
Which movie make the top 10? Some of them have been a staple in film history for years, and you're bound to find one that you love on this list. Some of the films on this list have garnered numerous awards, and some are more recent than others. Nevertheless, these titles are worthy of consideration. Here are some of the most influential movies of all time, according to IMDb.
1 Back To The Future 1985
2 Terminator 2 Judgment Day 1991
3 Star Wars 1977
4 Interstellar 2014
5 The Green Mile 1999
6 Life Is Beautiful 1997
7 Saving Private Ryan 1998
8 City Of God 2002
Back To The Future 1985
Back to the future was the premise of the film Back to the Future (1985), directed by Steven Spielberg. After two years of development, the film was finally released in July 1985. The film's release was delayed due to a successful test screening. Although the movie is not aimed at children, it has been adapted into numerous merchandise including board games and action figures. The sequels have also been made into several types of plush toys.
The movie was rejected over 40 times by studios before it was finally released. Although Steven Spielberg had been working on "Roancing the Stone" and "Shortcut," Zemeckis and Gale found success in other projects. The film was initially scheduled to star Michael J. Fox and Eric Stoltz, although he was ultimately hired for the role. The movie's success helped convince Universal Pictures to pick up the rights to Back to the Future.
Terminator 2 Judgment Day 1991
In the sequel to the first Terminator movie, the story continues with a new character, a Terminator called John Connor. As a young man, John was sent back to the year 1984 to kill Sarah Connor, a computer programmed to kill human beings. However, Sarah and her son, John Connor, survived and became the new leader of the rebels against SkyNet. Later on, John Connor sends Sgt. Kyle Reese to 1984, where she discovered two Terminators. One was programmed to kill Sarah when she was nine, and the other was sent back to save her from being killed. This is the first time in a movie where a Terminator is sent back to kill a human being, but the resulting chaos is more chilling and unpredictable.
While the first Terminator was an instant hit, Terminator 2 reversed the story and introduced a new model that aimed to kill Sarah Connor in 1984. Now, Sarah Connor is protecting the surviving humans from the new terminator, and a war erupts on the planet. In the end, a group of humans escaped the destruction of humanity by capturing the new Terminator and saving the world from the threat of the robots.
Star Wars 1977
The movie Star Wars (1977) debuted in limited theaters and quickly became a box office sensation. The film received critical acclaim for many aspects, including its visual effects, and went on to become one of the most successful films of all time. It grossed over $550 million in its initial run, overtaking the 1975 film Jaws for the record for the most money made by a single film. Following subsequent re-releases, the movie reached a record-breaking $775 million worldwide.
Although the film was a hit, it was not without its setbacks. George Lucas' initial idea was based on Flash Gordon, a science-fiction movie that he directed. After the release of his first film American Graffiti in 1973, Lucas began working on a treatment for the film. Filming took place at Elstree Studios in Hertfordshire and Tunisia in 1976. Production problems plagued the movie, and most cast and crew members thought the film would fail. To remedy this situation, George Lucas formed his own production company, Industrial Light & Magic. Several delays in the production cost the film over three million dollars.
Interstellar 2014
If you have a taste for sci-fi and a love of space, you will enjoy Interstellar, a recent epic science-fiction film directed by Christopher Nolan. The film stars Matt Damon, Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, and Bill Irwin, among others. Interstellar takes audiences on a journey to another galaxy to discover a new planet. It breaks the mold of typical sci-fi thrillers, visualizing the complexities of string theory and touching on themes such as family and love.
Interstellar is a futuristic space odyssey directed by Nolan and co-written by his brother Jonathan. It centers on a family in a starving planet. A widower, Cooper, raises two children while raising Murph, a young boy, in the midst of a repressive society. His son, a starving boy, does not believe in the myths taught to him in school. But he does believe in the real moon landing.
The Green Mile 1999
The Green Mile is based on the novel by Stephen King and directed by Frank Darabont. The film is 189 minutes long. It tells the story of Paul Edgecomb, a corrections officer in Cold Mountain Penitentiary. He is the only man who can save the condemned men and women who walk that "Green Mile."
Throughout the movie, Paul wonders how long he has left, and what he will do when it is his time to die. He is convinced that he will die one day, but he also believes that God can extend the life of mice. Although he has never seen Coffey's death, he thinks that he will die one day. He says that sometimes, it feels like The Green Mile is too long, even though he is 108 years old.
In the jail, Paul meets the warden, Hal Moores, who has recently given him the papers for Arlen Bitterbuck's execution. As Bitterbuck's grandson, he has political connections. He also befriends a pet mouse, which he names Mr. Jingles. One of the inmates, John Coffey, is played by Michael Clarke Duncan. He was convicted of murdering two little girls, and unlike the other inmates, he has a fear of the dark.
Life Is Beautiful 1997
Life Is Beautiful is a 1997 Italian comedy drama film, directed by Roberto Benigni and written by Vincenzo Cerami. It tells the story of an Italian Jew named Guido, whose father survives the Holocaust by using his imagination to shield his son from Nazi internment. Life Is Beautiful was partially based on a book by Rubino Romeo Salmoni. Benigni's father spent two years in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp during World War II.
The plot of Life Is Beautiful is an amalgamation of two distinct stories. In the first part, Jewish Guido falls in love with the beautiful schoolteacher Dora, played by Nicoletta Braschi. The two eventually marry and have a son, Giosie. Then, the Nazis come to Italy and seize their children and send them to a concentration camp. The movie ends with them being separated. The movie is directed by Roberto Benigni, who also produced the film.
Saving Private Ryan 1998
In Saving Private Ryan 1998, Captain John Miller takes the men behind enemy lines on a personal journey. After his three brothers die in the war, Private James Ryan discovers the strength he needs to face an uncertain future. Each of the men must face personal tragedy to discover their own strength.

Cultural Safety and Respect in the Classroom
Where appropriate, providing opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff, students, Elders, families and wider community members to share their perspectives, histories and cultures in the classroom can be incredibly enriching. However, it is important for teachers and educators to be careful not to assume what stories or knowledges can be shared by particular community members, students, or children, and when, where and with whom they can be shared. This activity encourages staff to consider scenarios, evaluate policies and principles and consider how cultural safety could further be promoted within the wider school or early learning service community.

Australia collects bronze in men's team pursuit

Australia has won the men's team pursuit bronze medal after a New Zealand rider crashed in their ride-off.
New Zealand was 0.2 second ahead when its rear rider touched wheels and went down, ruining its chances on Wednesday in Olympic track cycling.
Australia soon caught the third remaining opponent, who had dropped off the New Zealand paceline because of the crash.
It is some consolation for Australia after Alex Porter face-planted in qualifying, ruining its hopes of a gold medal.
Luke Plapp took his place on Tuesday and again in the bronze medal ride, combining with Leigh Howard, Sam Welsford and Kelland O'Brien.
Filippo Ganna rode superbly as Italy stormed back to beat Denmark in the gold medal ride and again broke the record, clocking three minutes 42.032 seconds to win by just 0.168sec.
There was more badly needed good news for the Australian track team on Wednesday, with Kaarle McCulloch reaching the keirin quarter-finals.
After finishing fourth in her opening heat, McCulloch took second in a repechage behind Hong Kong star Lee Wai Sze.
That means McCulloch will go into a quarter-final on Thursday night ahead of the medal round.

Until McCulloch's progression and then the team pursuit bronze, it had been a dim afternoon for the Australians.
Top sprint hope Matthew Glaetzer pulled out of the event, with the team saying he was unwell after combining with Matthew Richardson and Nathan Hart for a frustrating fourth on Tuesday in the team sprint.
Richardson replaced Glaetzer, joining Hart in the match sprint, and they were 22nd and 23rd-fastest out of the 24 qualifiers.
The Australians lost their round-one sprints and were knocked out in the repechage.
After the disaster of Rio, the team pursuit bronze is a welcome result, but otherwise it is proving another testing Olympics for the Australian track cycling team.
The fourth for the men's team sprint and the fifth for the women's team pursuiters on Tuesday repeated their Rio results.
Glaetzer is yet to win a medal at three Olympics, with four fourth placings.
Anna Meares' 2012 sprint triumph has been the only Olympics gold medal for the track cycling team since it dominated the 2004 Athens Games, winning five.
Glaetzer was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in late 2019 and missed the February 2020 world championships because of a torn calf.
He is the top Australian men's sprinter, winning the 2018 world title in the match sprint and the 2012 team sprint crown.

For the second consecutive day, Mark Cavendish was the winner in the Tour of Missouri.
He crossed the line ahead of Sparkasse's Eric Baumann to win the 126-mile second stage of the American race in Springfield. It means the 23-year-old Team Columbia rider retains the leader's yellow jersey.
It is Cavendish's 16th win of the season, and the 27th of his two-year pro career. A couple of weeks ago he won three in a row at the start of the Tour of Ireland.


Accept the way God does things? "Linda, you can't be serious." Yes, I am serious. I cannot overlook what the verse says. "Accept the way God does things." The fact is God loves us, and He wants the best for us. God's way of doing things is vastly different than ours. If I could have some things done instantly, they would be done, but I am so glad God did not give me some of the things I wanted immediately; Some things I'm glad He didn't give me at all. We could complain and talk until we're blue in the face, but that will not make God answer us faster or even get Him to move out of His perfect timing. God has good things in store for each of His children, and the good things He has for us ARE WORTH waiting for. Doing things our way can only mess things up. However, when God works, His work is done in His perfect timing, and everything works out for the good of those who love Him and according to His purpose.
REFLECTION: "He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men, yet they cannot fathom the work God has done from beginning to end," (Ecclesiastes 3:11). Are you willing to accept God's ways? Will you submit to God's timing and wait for Him to work out everything? Remember, God is your Heavenly Father and only wants the best for you, and no one is able to stop Divine Providence. Accept how God does things because His ways are not our ways. You do not know the future, but God sees what is up ahead of you. He is the only One Who truly knows your future and what lies ahead. Consider the work of God and His sovereignty. God has not forgotten about you, and He is still in control.
PRAYER: Heavenly Father, nothing stops Your divine providence. Your Word goes forth and Your Word will accomplish the purposes for which it was sent. Your ways, how You work, is something I cannot fathom, but I know everything is working together for my good because I love You and am called according to Your purpose. Father, I am humbled by Your goodness and Your faithfulness, and though I may not understand how You work everything out, I am trusting and hoping in You for You, O God, are still in control. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Start-up idea: sauces like made by mum
Reinhold Gebhart All articles of author
Different industries, different characters, their own stories. The paths to success of three young start-ups crossed at the Nuremberg exhibition centre. Part III
Emils has established itself as Germany's first "zero-additive brand" in the organic segment. The success of the Freiburg-based start-up, named after the son of one of its founders, has a lot to do with the taste of mothers. Jens Wages can't help smiling when he tells the story that made him and Michael Wiese founders: "When we found out at a barbecue that the delicious salad dressing made by the mother of a friend of a university student was actually his and that she had passed the recipe on to the housewives in the village, the realisation hit us: "if mothers copy you, it must be good."
For Wages, it was clear: "Our product had passed a market test without our knowledge, which we had never commissioned." The advertiser and the management consultant quit their jobs in 2009, even though their idea of "Purist Convenience" - consistently without additives - was doomed from the start. After all, a leading professor of food hygiene had assured them there was no way it could work. "I think that's actually the only reason Michael Wiese and I took a chance," Jens Wages recalls, "almost out of spite." The fact that they initially also faced headwind from the organic sector itself was even more incentive for the two young entrepreneurs to continue pursuing their business idea.
Supported joint stand as initial spark
The initial spark for Emils was BIOFACH. "The fact that we were able to participate at all was only possible thanks to the subsidised joint stand of the Federal Office of Economics and Export Control," says Wages. At their first appearance in 2011, their stand at the world's leading trade fair for organic food was stormed by interested parties. In 2012, Emils won the "Best New Product Award" from the public. "Long before the discussions about additives and sugar content, BIOFACH and its visitors had the right nose for promising products," Wages sums up. "Without this experience at this trade fair, we might never have taken our company forward so consistently and unchanged."
Founder idea: Emil's purity law: dressings, vegan mayos and ketchup without additives - neither thickeners, nor citric acid, nor yeast extract.
Founder team: Michael Wiese (management consultant) and Jens Wages (advertiser) found the start-up Emils in 2009 with no prior knowledge of the business
Founder tips: Stay persistent and consistent. Never cut back on quality. The desire to make it must be greater than worry and stronger than the voice of those who don't believe in it.
Founders Fair: First appearance at the BIOFACH 2011 in Nuremberg and at the same time the start of the success story "consistently without additives".
The initial spark for Emils was a sponsored joint stand at BIOFACH 2011.
