However, this doesn’t seem likely because SVB is a tiny portion of the two institutions’ portfolios. Shareholders have argued that Vanguard and BlackRock will be forced to hedge their positions by selling out of long positions and recalling short GME shares due to their losses in SVB. BlackRock owned 4.76 million shares, which accounted for 0.03% of its portfolio. ![]() 31, Vanguard owned 6.65 million shares of SVB, which accounted for a minuscule 0.04% of its portfolio. Others shareholders have pointed out that Vanguard and BlackRock (NYSE: BLK) are the largest shareholders of SVB, which could potentially benefit GME. Generally, a short interest above 10% is considered high, while a short interest above 20% is considered very high. That’s equivalent to a short interest as a percentage of float of 22.10%. 28, there were 56.85 million shares of GME sold short with a total value of $1.09 million.

But If you have seen sata cable for x250 - it is very thin an i was afrightened that it can simple melted when i have connected this big disk? but it have worked ok.Īnd main question to OP. Once apon a time i have started X250 with this huge drive. But in my case it seemd that drive can rewrite data even after it reports to OS that writing is done. Before this i belivied that such drives became very slow on random writes to recreate right shingled structure. and drive continued to spine its platterns and audible move heads. Once apon a time i have turned off T410 thinkpad, but this hdd was connected to yellow (allways powered on) USB port. But if drive will be connected to SATA (or other enclosure) it will work in terms of 512b sectors and all partitions will shrink 8 times.Īll of this drives use SMR technology whish can be very frustruating in terms of writing performance. BUT this drive must be tailored to this adapter (enclosure) because old BIOS partition table will denote partition boundaries in terms of 4k sectors. Any OS can use these drives (even XP) without any issues. It uses 4kb sectors to address data on wire. USB adaptor in original seagate enclosure have some magic in it. GPT partitioning can be done, but 32bit OS (especially my beloved XP) will render this drive useless. Any manipulations with 1.9Tb + 1.9Tb partitioning won't work. And at this point i have stumbled with 2Tb limit. Next part - is to use it in external usb enclosure. but 15mm is to tall to fit in 12mm caddy. First attempt i have made is to put it in 12mm ultrabay adaptor (to work with W700, W530). After some time i've got 4Tb disk without any enclosure. Some notes of my experience with this 15mm drives.įirst of this drives in my posession was 2Tb seagate external drive and it have worked very well. How are you going to overcome the 2TB limit for using Legacy BIOS to boot any OS then? Then I will close it with some more distance and raise the laptop with higher stands. The next step will be to modify the chassis base by cutting the hard drive bay plastics so the hard drive will fit. I booted with Windows 7 install to see if it is showing the partitions on the drive and it works. So I removed the keyboard and palm rest, to give the harddrive some space I also removed the screws that hold the mainboard. The drive I intend to use are the ones out of the Seagate backup plus portable which is a Seagate Barracuda 4Tb.įirst I needed to test if the drives where supported. So that's why I decided to test if they support bigger drives.Īs the X61 have a drive bay for 9mm drives the options are SSD's which are expensive or modding the thing so it will fit 15mm drives. The Thinkpads Core 2 Duo 2Ghz with 4Gb of ram, plays HD quality clips at the VGA output like a charm.Ĭombined with the Creative Audigy 2ZS PCMCIA card it is a portable DJ tool with good audio quality. My loved Thinkpads X61's (I have 5 of them) are getting a massive harddrive update.įor now I run 3 of them with the Seagate Firecude 2Tb drives which runs very smooth.īut for a DJ that uses it to play Karaoke, Videoclips and music the 2Tb drives are filled with to the max with data.

Neither different lysis/sample loading buffers nor sonication improved the resolution of DMT1 and Fpn1 western blots. Conversely, only heated samples allowed to detect ferritin H, otherwise ferritin polymers failed to get into the gel. Unheated samples also resulted in better resolution for Fpn1 and TfR1 western blots. Our results in 12 human culture cell lysates indicated that only unheated samples prior to gel loading gave rise to clear resolution of DMT1 protein, while heated samples (95☌, 5min) caused the loss of resolution due to DMT1 protein aggregates. We performed western blotting for transmembrane iron transporter proteins SLC11A2 (divalent metal transporter 1, DMT1), SLC40A1 (ferroportin 1, Fpn1), and transferrin receptor-1 (TfR1), along with cytoplasmic iron storage protein ferritin H. We show here the case that even excellent primary antibodies failed to detect a specific protein of interest due to a routine heating practice of protein samples. Because western blotting usually involves heat-denaturation of samples prior to gel loading, clarification of detailed procedures for sample preparation have been omitted or neglected in many publications. Western blotting has been widely used for investigation of protein expression, posttranslational modifications, and interactions. ![]() Unless you're really, ''really'' good at the game you ''will'' need to call on Viridiana for aid- and she can't help you with the brutal end boss either.

In English, years prior to the Hijra are denoted as BH ("Before the Hijra"). In Muslim countries, it is also sometimes denoted as H from its Arabic form ( سَنَة هِجْرِيَّة, abbreviated ھ). In the West, dates in this era are usually denoted AH ( Latin: Anno Hegirae, "in the year of the Hijrah"). ![]() During that year, Muhammad and his followers migrated from Mecca to Medina and established the first Muslim community ( ummah), an event commemorated as the Hijrah. This calendar enumerates the Hijri era, whose epoch was established as the Islamic New Year in 622 CE. In almost all countries where the predominant religion is Islam, the civil calendar is the Gregorian calendar, with Syriac month-names used in the Levant and Mesopotamia ( Iraq, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon and Palestine) but the religious calendar is the Hijri one. It is used to determine the proper days of Islamic holidays and rituals, such as the annual fasting and the annual season for the great pilgrimage. The Hijri calendar ( Arabic: ٱلتَّقْوِيم ٱلْهِجْرِيّ, romanized: al-taqwīm al-hijrī), also known in English as the Muslim calendar and Islamic calendar, is a lunar calendar consisting of 12 lunar months in a year of 354 or 355 days.

See below for a list of common tricks to get a game up here. Ironically, the more formulaic the genre-specific gameplay is, the easier its formula is to adapt to a story. Deliberate Integration: The developers take a critical look at both the gameplay and narrative conventions, then employ one to reinforce the other.This standard seems to be most prevalent in genres that aim for emergent narrative - like many life sim and management sim games, for example - though those genres' particular definition of what constitutes "story" is looser and broader than most. Perfect Integration: The gameplay is the story. ![]() The Sliding Scale of Gameplay and Story Integration is then defined as follows: Therefore, it's more accurate to speak of individual instances of gameplay and story integration/segregation, as a single game can provide examples of both ultimately, "gameplay and story integration" is less of a dichotomy and more of a continuum, and games can be sorted based on whether integration instances outnumber segregation ones or vice versa. ![]() Likewise, there are practically no video games where the gameplay and the story are integrated so tightly that they become indistinguishable, if only because the technology for procedurally generated narratives does not yet exist. But again, few games segregate their gameplay from the story completely, and there is usually an overlap at least on the contextual or thematic level. This leads to situations where gameplay rules blatantly contradict the story rules - and such cases are usually easily identifiable and are listed on Gameplay and Story Segregation page. This becomes even more obvious when the game's gameplay rules are adapted from an external source, such as Tabletop Games. Indeed, very few players stop to ponder why the Player Character's well-being seems to be divided into numbered chunks but the only one that matters is the last, because it's an established gameplay convention and most developers no longer feel the need to justify it. While definitely not as old as storytelling conventions, they are not fundamentally different and game designers often borrow from them without considering how they fit In-Universe. Since a gap between gameplay and story exists and despite the medium's relative youth, video games have already developed a rather standardized set of general and genre-specific gameplay conventions. Additionally, while it is virtually impossible for a game to have no story at all, story is not the only aspect that evokes an emotional reaction in the players, and "raw" gameplay can have the same effect in its own right, independent of the context it is placed in. Similarly, it is often impossible to extricate the "gameplay" part from the "story" part for some game elements: for example, level design serves a practical function for gameplay, but also conveys information about the game's setting to the player - and attempting to avoid this by setting one's gameplay in an environment comprised entirely of featureless white cubes would still tell the player something about the game's setting. the Pong level of storylessness) and, even more so, to not have any gameplay (though this depends on whether you count Kinetic Novels as games), and these two aspects are usually integrated at least a little - after all, you can hardly introduce pony-breeding gameplay against the backdrop of a galaxy-spanning war story. Either way, it is very rare for a video game not to have any story whatsoever (i.e. Traditionally, video games narrate via cutscenes and dialogues (even though interactive dialogue overlaps with gameplay).Īnother definition would be that the gameplay ultimately revolves around numbers and is governed by mathematical rules, while the story revolves around words and symbols and is governed by the rules of emotional narrative. to the player, which typically provides narrative context for various elements of the game. ![]()
