![]() Sometimes, you just want an application that works out-of-the-box without having to do much tweaking. While I do like to use free and open-source applications as much as is possible, they also have to have the necessary features that you are after. A note on the use of proprietary/for-cost applications, and availability of free/open-source alternatives.Once the papers are finalised on Word (or Mellel), I convert them to PDF for submission to journals or for wider circulation if they are research reports or working papers. Bookends works with Word as well on a Mac, but as it is not available on Windows OS, I either use Endnote or Mendeley for organising references and citation when working on co-authored papers. In terms of reference manager, there are a number of options that work well with Word. Hence MS Word is usually the go-to application when working on a co-authored paper. I have on occasions used Google Docs when I’ve wanted inputs from more than one co-authors at the same time, and also to make the versioning easier, however, being online-only makes Google Docs hard to use, especially when your collaborators are travelling or are in places with poor internet connection. When I am working on a co-authored paper, I move from Scrivener to MS Word when I have to have other authors working on the paper as well, as everybody I work with uses Word and are comfortable working on it (I don’t know any of my co-authors who use Mellel for example). But if you do not need others to directly edit the document, Mellel can export document as PDF directly from the main menu. When I needed my thesis chapters to be commented on, I sent them as RTF to my supervisors so they could comment on it using MS Word. For example, I finalised my PhD dissertation on Mellel with Bookends for reference management. ![]() Mellel is one of the best and most stable word processing application on MacOS, especially when you are writing a long text document, such as a thesis and it works perfectly with Bookends for reference management. If I am working alone on the project - and do not need others to edit the text, I often work on Mellel in my Mac. Once I have a full draft of the paper/report, I export them from Scrivener to a specialised word processing application. On the Mac Bookends works very well with Scrivener as a reference manager however, if you are working on a Windows PC, you can easily use Endnote or Mendeley for reference management, and to insert citation into your write-up (as citation codes that can later be automatically scanned by reference manager like Endnote to create formatted bibliography). ![]() I normally use Dropbox to store my Scrivener projects so I can pick up from where I left off on any of my PCs, including on my iPad with Scrivener app. While I use my Mac for most of my writing, Scrivener is also available for Windows, I often work on Scrivener in Windows, especially in office where I have to use Windows PC. Scrivener is one of the very best applications available for academic writing, possibly for any kind of writing, as it allows you to organise your writings in small segments, set targets (word count) and track the progress easily, as well as collate and organise research materials, such as relevant papers, snippets or any other kinds of materials. I can easily export Markdown written within RStudio in a format like RTF for Scrivener. However, for most of my original writing, I use Scrivener, with Bookends as my reference manager. I start my initial drafts, particularly methods and results sections within RStudio, as it is where I do my data analysis and visualisation and it is simply easier to write about methods and results while they are being worked on. As mentioned in the previous post, I use Scapple as a tool to organise my thoughts, brainstorm, and plan my work, including basic outline for my write-up (background on the figure above). Following on from my previous post about my data workflow, I outline my basic writing workflow here. ![]() ![]() ![]() And finally we show you how to play the intro riff.

However, there are certain rules that must be specifically contradicted by cards. ![]() In general, rules on specific cards override the general game rules. Most of the cards in Munchkin have rule effects of one type or another. We added one important question about unequipped Steeds, Vehicles, or Ships (short version: you can't) and a few others that don't quite rise to that level of universality. May 2019 update: We've cleaned up a fair number of things throughout the document. We've also made the answer to the "owner of the game" question more explicit. Churninator (from Munchkin Cthulhu): Add "unless this would give you the winning level" at the end of the first sentence.Death-Touch (from Munchkin Fu): At the end of this card, add "You do not get any rewards for that monster unless you defeat all remaining monsters.".There are official errata for two cards as a result of this rule: It does make it slightly easier to win with an instant-kill effect, but most of those require exactly the right card combo. Rule 2 deals with an annoying timing edge case by removing the edge case. Rule 1 came about because many players over the years have been frustrated by being forced to help someone else win the game. If all monsters are removed from a combat, the combat ends immediately.īoth of these rules implement changes globally that we have already made to individual cards in newer Munchkin games and expansions.It also does not apply in the situation where the helper could win the game (Elves, mostly, but other cards can set up this situation) be careful when you choose a helper! This rule does not apply to voluntary helpers, who should have thought harder about what they were getting into. If a player is forced to help someone in a combat and it later becomes a combat for the win, the helper is kicked out of the fight without penalty. Players may not be forced to help someone else in a combat that is for the win.July 2018 update: We have made two global rule updates to all Munchkin games, and these updates will affect some answers in this FAQ. ![]() June 2018 update: We are no longer supporting the Epic Munchkin rules, so all answers here (outside of the Epic Munchkin section itself) assume that you are playing a regular game ending at Level 10. If you have a game published before then, look at the 2010 Munchkin Change Log for a detailed list of changes, set by set.

Frequently Asked Questions for all Munchkin Games, Supplements, and Accessories Updated April 20, 2020 ![]() ![]() For example, on April 2nd, 2019, YouTuber KippyKip posted a parody that played the Disney Fastplay audio over a man shaking his head, gaining over 40,000 views in roughly three years (shown below, left). In the late 2010s, multiple posts of the Disney Fastplay copypasta appeared on various social media platforms, including Reddit, Twitter and Twitch.

He’s talking about commercials for other Disney DVDs (a term the company loves to repeat ad nauseum, as if it were a unique technology instead of just a label distinction), plugs for other Disney products, and those infuriating FBI warnings. Notice the announcer said “your movie and selection of bonus features.” But when he soothingly coos “bonus features,” he ain’t talking about fun stuff like behind-the-scenes documentaries or production-art galleries, folks. Except it ISN’T fast play: It’s slow play. In the article, writer Steve Daly wrote:Īnd boom - before you know it, without having actually made a selection (you’ve got to be really quick to select “Main Menu” - which, trust me, is what you want to do), FastPlay engages. Key complaints were that if one did not press the "main menu" button on their television remote quickly enough, they would be forced to start viewing minutes of ads for other Disney movies until they got to the film they wanted to see. For example, on October 4th, 2007, Entertainment Weekly penned a negative opinion of the new feature. The feature was quickly met with disdain.

LDAP Filter Examplesīuilding LDAP filters can be challenging. Property values for comparison do not normally need to be wrapped in quotes. The LDAP filter rules must be used with the LDAP names of attributes, and certain character values must be ‘escaped’ if used in an LDAP filter.

The syntax for LDAP filters is defined in RFC number 4515. Using the LDAPFilter parameter with the cmdlets allows you to use LDAP filters, such as those created in Active Directory Users and Computers. Read on to learn how LDAP Filters assist in filtering that data! LDAP FiltersĪctive Directory implements LDAP, the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol. Many different object types are stored and made accessible by Active Directory with the LDAP protocol functioning as a means to access that data.Īs Active Directory can store many different data types, applications and users need a way to query that directory easily. You may think of a phonebook when hearing the word directory, but in the context of Active Directory, this means so much more. LDAP, or Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, is a vendor-neutral protocol for accessing and modifying directory data. You should use -like and -notlike operators for wildcard comparison. Only required if the data is enclosed in single quotes.Īutomatically escaped. Only required if the data is enclosed in double quotes. You can see above that the filter is surrounded by double quotes yet Adam Bertram is surrounded with single quotes.Ĭertain characters must be ‘escaped’ when used in filters. The only wildcard accepted is the asterisk ( *). Property values are normally wrapped in single or double quotes. Property names can be the name or LDAP filter name of the property returned with the AD cmdlet. PS51> Get-Aduser -Filter "Name -eq 'Adam Bertram'" If you’d like to find all users matching a specific name, you’d use: For example, the Get-AdUser cmdlet returns a Name property. Inside of the filter, you will compare various AD object properties using operators. Inside of the Filter parameter, you can use the following operators. The operators used here are the familiar operators you may be used to when using commands like Where-Object. While building a filter for the Filter parameter, you’ll need to use at least one operator. These filters are used with the the Filter parameter. This is commonly referred to as Active Directory search filter syntax. PowerShell filters use the standard PowerShell expression syntax.
