A Heroic Deed
This is a sketch for an illustration I'm planning on painting in oil. I put it into PS to do a quick color study. Obviously some parts are more polished than others. But my main question to you is: Do you understand what's going on, if you just have the picture and title to go on? That's my main concern right now - how readable is this picture, and its story? Of course, all other crits and comments are welcome too!

Well I"m not sure if I understand what's going on, but I'll tell you how it hits me in case that's different than what you wanted.
It looks like a superhuman battle with a dragon in the background with a large god-like knight. But what I can't figure out is what the people in the foreground are doing and why they aren't reacting to the epic battle going on in the background.
I like the colors you've got going on with the dragon and knight. A minor tweak I'd do though is the dragon's hand around the spear seems pretty passive like it just happens to be sitting on his hand. Maybe have him grasp is more or not at all.
"This planet has - or rather had - a problem, which was this: most of the people on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movements of small green pieces of paper, which is odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy." -Douglas Adams

Are the dragon and knight in the shirtless guy's imagination?
The exchange between the shirtless guy and the guy in the hat seems important to the story, but I can't tell what's going on there exactly. Likewise, I can't tell what the guy on the left is holding. I know that these elements aren't finished yet, but are they significant to understanding what's going on?

I see a modern hero/martyr about to be executed, maybe a rebel? In the background we have the archetype of a hero. Great idea by the way!
February 14th, 2009 #5
Thank you for your comments! Yeah, some important pieces are pretty muddy and hard to understand, I guess. The guy in the hat is using a knife to cut the ropes of the other guy's hands. The soldier to the left is holding a hood that the prisoner walking up the stairs going to be wearing when he is hanged.
Talpa got pretty close to my idea. The one walking up the stairs is supposed to be hanged instead of the guy walking down the stairs. Because of this, he is a hero. The fight in the background is supposed to be sort of a symbol of his act of heroism, and it's supposed to be going on in the clouds, far far away, in a fairy tale, in fantasy, what have you. Obviously, I have to work on making these points clearer.
Oh, and the dragon's hand on the spear is supposed to be pretty passive, as if he's losing his strength, dying. I'll have to work on portraying that as well..
February 14th, 2009 #6
Maybe if you took the knight's helmet off (even though it's one of my favorite parts of the picture) and made the knight's face the same as the guy going up the stairs? As it is now I'm not personally able to tell that the knight's sposed to represent the guy going to be hanged.
Then again it seems a tad twisted to relate killing something to saving someone's life, it might just end up making me think that the man going upstairs killed a dragon in the past. Hoo I don't know, this piece is complicated!
ooo, oo, or maybe if you made the guy with the hangman's mask in the same pose as the dragon?
sb's sb: Crit it! Hurt it! Make it cry!
February 14th, 2009 #7
That is an interesting idea, Stacybean, but I don't really want the hangman to represent the dragon, as the hero isn't going to kill him. I was thinking of giving the hero a tattoo, like a rose, and having the same image as an emblem on the knight's armor. And I'm definitely keeping the helmet, because 1. I like it and 2. I want the knight to be an anonymous, symbolic archetype of a hero. Thanks for the comment and suggestions!
February 14th, 2009 #8
The kight has a small torso and a very narrow arm. The dragon's upper jaw is disproportionately small compared to the lower, and the eye's further forward than I would put it. I can see no relationship between the background scene and the foreground, and most of the foreground figures are stiff, out of proportion and out of scale. The knight's helmet is so far the best part of this image.

I think some warm light reflected on the characters in the foreground and a darker sky would make it more dramatic and bring the painting together as a whole.
I don't understand the white light on our "hero". Where does it come from? It's not reflected on anyone or anything else, why?
Also you need to make it clearer that the soldier is cutting the other one free.
February 14th, 2009 #10
Having the dragons head tilted up in pain will probably help show its loss of strength and incorporate better with the arm. You might also try having the dragon reach towards its chest instead of the spear. It's fairly instinctual to grasp at a painful wound. The problem right now with the top image is the dragon doesn't really seem affected by his chest wound which makes the two figures appear somewhat disjointed.
Overall the story doesn't read well. The easiest way to fix this would be to change the title to something that will cause people to look for the story you're trying to tell. The harder but ultimately better approach imo is to rework the image. Try to make the bottom panel tell it's own story in entirety. As it is there isn't really any way beyond guesswork or being told to know that the guy walking up the stairs is sacrificing himself for the guy walking down.
Sorry if this seems harsh. Good luck.

A process control system and method is described that yields improvement in product throughput through the use of tuned model process control using product and machine parametric data, process control via real time critical equipment transient monitoring, process windowing of critical equipment of equipment transients and machine/product parametric data correlation. A machine monitoring technique is described which allows precise machine utilization tracking independent of the physical machine process recipe set by the user. With the system, an objective analysis and comparison of machine utilization indices of like equipment in different factories which process different products with different machine recipes is possible.
1. A system for equipment monitoring and tracking of semiconductor manufacturing processes, comprising:
a semiconductor process work cell including at least one implanter;
a computer storing a dosage versus sheet resistance model for said implanter; and
an interface between said process work cell and said computer for supplying on a real time basis the operating parameters of the implanter to said computer, said computer detecting a daft away from an expected value of sheet resistance and recalculating said model based on said operating parameters to determine a new expected value of sheet resistance, said computer forcing a shutdown of said implanter if the new expected value of sheet resistance is outside of a range of acceptable sheet resistances.
This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 07/663,969, filed Mar. 1, 1991, now abandoned.
This invention relates to apparatus and method for accurate measurement of machine utilization, and more particular generic apparatus and methods of accurately monitoring and controling semiconductor manufacturing processes.
Advanced lithography is a key factor in microelectronic integration. Advanced lithography capability requires a high capital investment for the IC manufacture. The need for accurate machine utilization tracking is driven by increasing pressure to reduce semiconductor wafer cost by maximizing current machine utilization. A generic apparatus and method of accurately tracking the utilization of advanced lithography systems across a diversified mix of technologies is required in order to remain competitive in todays market.
Various methods of semiconductor machine utilization tracking are currently in use throughout the semiconductor industry. Most manufacturers utilize some type of utilization tracking algorithm which calculates a percentage of machine usage per unit of time. These systems require manual data entry through a stand alone computer network system. Data input is typically performed by those individuals responsible for operating or maintaining the equipment. In some instances, the individual is one and the same. This type of machine utilization tracking system is very subjective and does not always provide accurate machine utilization indices.
Another approach has been to record the number of good parts processed through the machine over a defined period of time and calculate machine utilization base on the theoretical best case performance. There are many basic problems with this type of utilization tracking approach. This type of utilization tracking method does not comprehend technology mix being processed through the machine, reworked wafers cycled back to the unit, machine condition during process, or performance change due to piece part degradation. Piece part degradation alone such as UV source can have a significant impact on machine productivity performance. Since UV steppers utilize a light integrator to compensate for fluctuation in lamp intensity by adjusting the shutter time to deliver constant energy to the image plane, the only noticeable effect of intensity loss during aging of the lamp, assuming uniform intensity distribution, is reduced throughput.
A method and equipment interface is utilized to receive and monitor real time equipment inputs. The real time inputs are used to monitor the machines critical processing parameters as well as its productivity performance. The method herein referred to as Equipment Interactive Process Control (EIPC). The EIPC interface monitors the critical machine parametric values through a computer interface. Software within the computer allows machine analog and digital signals to be processed and converted to engineering units for analysis. The EIPC data allows the user to utilize a quantitative machine model created by the machine manufacturer to measure the actual machine performance, in real time, independent of the technology being passed through the machine. By providing a real time measure of the machine performance, accurate machine utilization can be tracked as well as machine process performance.
The technical advance represented by the invention as well as the objects thereof will become apparent from the following description of a preferred embodiment of the invention when considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, and the novel features set forth in the appended claims.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the system illustrating the interface and control monitoring system of the present invention. A machine or work cell 10 which has an automated process controller is connected to an interface and analog-to-digital converter 11 which serves as an "equipment monitor and control adaptor". Interface 11 includes a microprocessor for interfacing the machine/work cell to a processor in block 13. Interface 11 is connected to a processor 13, which maybe, for example, 386 PC or similar computer capable of handling the control software which includes machine models for the type of equipment being monitored and the engineering data. Processor 13 is connected to a Large Area Network (LAN) which is connected to one or more system users 15.
FIG. 2 details the work flow through a work cell for coating semiconductor wafers with a photo resist material, exposing a pattern in the photo resist coating, and then developing and processing the coating. A brief description of the work cell process is given to illustrate a monitor process by the present invention, and to show how, in examples to follow, how particular processes are monitored on a real time basis, and compared with machine models to measure system performance.
The basic process flow in the work cell is as follows. A semiconductor wafer is introduced into the work cell which is environmentally controlled. A wafer is coated (20) with a photo resist material. The coating is spun on while the wafer is on a rotating table. The rpm speed and ramp (21) is controlled, as well as the amount of photo resist applied, and the time of spinning. The important process control factors at this point are listed in box (22). These factors are photo resist film thickness and film uniformity which are measured and fed forward to the next process module for process adjustment.
Next, the photo resist is baked, soft bake (23), to harden the photo resist coating. Control factors in the soft bake cycle (24) are temperature and time. Again film thickness is an important factor which is measured and fed forward to the bake module for possible parameter adjustment required for process recenterin of the film thickness and uniformity to target.
After the photo resist coating has been soft baked, the wafter is aligned under a mask and the photo resist coating is exposed (26) to produce a pattern in the photo resist coating. Parameters (27) important during exposure are the intensity of the exposing light and the time length of the exposure. During alignment, the mark registration, resolution, focus and distortion are considered during alignment and prior to exposure.
The energy and intensity are two of the parameters monitored in the present invention, which are fed forward to the next module for machine variation compensation.
Other factors (28) to be considered during the this process step are photoresist film thickness, underlying topography of the wafer oxide or metal grain, reflectivity, and photo mask sizing.
The photo resist coating and exposed image is developed (29) to remove areas of photo resist coating not defined by the pattern. Developer is spun onto the wafer surface. Factors (30) in development are ramp speed (rpm, developer flow, pressure and atomization power. Factors of importance (31) are film thickness, film uniformity and exposure energy which are measured and fed forward to the develop module for process variation compensation.
The wafer is then hard baked (32) to harden the pattern of developed photo resist material. Time and temperature (33) are important factors during hare bake. Characteristics (34) to be considered are the underlying metal grain structure, film thickness and uniformity, and wafer topography.
Most lithography processes used in the manufacture of microelectronic devices use ultraviolet light to expose a thin film of photoresist deposited on the surface of a silicon wafer. The equipment used to perform this task normally utilizes a light integrator to compensate for variations in light source intensity by adjusting the exposure time to deliver a constant energy dose to the image plane.
Uniform intensity distribution at the image plane is another important characteristic of a good expose system. The uniformity of the intensity distribution is related to light source intensity. Therefore, there is a desirable intensity range for equipment to operate within.
Exposure failures usually go undetected until material reaches an inspection step in the process flow. This can be several process steps after the exposure was done. By the time a failure of this type is detected, a significant amount of material may have been processed through a faulty expose machine in a work cell.
FIGS. 3, 4 and 5 illustrate on-line data that is available from the system of the present invention that is received from the machine/work cell 10 of FIG. 1. The data is displayed on a real time basis to the processor 13, and stored for use by the system users.
FIG. 3 is a listing of productivity on a daily basis, for a period of one week (25th through the 1st of the following month). This data is for the number of EIPC wafers processed through lithography equipment units NS701 through NS708. The number of wafers process by each unit is displayed on a daily basis, the total wafers processed for the seven day period, and the model based percentage of utilization of the equipment. The data is also available on a real time display basis.
FIG. 4 illustrates the same data for SMS wafers logged, i.e. good parts logged, on the same equipment during the same time period.
FIG. 5 is data generated by the model of theoretical machine capability for the same equipment (NS701-NS708). The theoritical potential number of daily wafers processed, total theoretical processing for the week, and percent of wafers reworked are shown. The REWORK percentage is the ratio of total parts processed and the total "good" parts logged.
The present invention uses a program that interfaces and monitors the critical machine parametric values . By providing a real time measurement of the machine performance accurate machine utilization is tracked as well as the machines process performance.
A model in use is based on the machine manufacturers model. The following is a model for a Step and Repeat system manufacture by Nikon Precision Inc. The model is for a Nikon 1505G4 Step and Repeat system. ##EQU1## The variables designated with an asterisk are defined by the Manufacturer for the NSR 1505G4. N is calculated based on these variables and the variables Te, ne, nlsa, and nega. Te, ne, nlsa, and nega are technology dependent. The variables Te and ne must be input into the model real time via the system interface in order to accurately calculate physical machine performance based on the manufacturer's specification as well as the current machine condition and technology being processed on the machine.
FIG. 5a details the machine/process control measurements taken by the Equipment Interactive Process Control Program (EIPC). Since each machine typically processes various levels each with its own exposure and alignment criteria, a weighted average must be calculated and the manufactures model modified for Te and ne: ##EQU2## Where: Wp=Wafers Processed For Each Specified Level (EPIC measured)
s/w=Shots per Wafer (EPIC measured)
TwPbn=The SUM of Total Wafers Processed for Each Level Tested
The modified manufacturer's model is now used to calculate the exact machine physical utilization independent of the technology being processed through the machine. The manufacture's model now becomes: ##EQU3## The EGA model then becomes: ##EQU4## If the displayed data is input into the model using the following manufacturers constants and the associated EIPC input variables for masking levels 1 through N, the exact machine physical utilization performance can be calculated, which is independent of technology. Using the derived EGA weighted average model: ##EQU5##
Therefore N=39.69 W/H for weight mean
intensity=752.2 MW/Cm2
If the total EIPC wafer count for a 24 hour period of 660 is taken and divide it by 24, a mean W/H (wafer per hour) count of 27.5 is achieved.
The physical utilization of machine NS708 for a 24 hour period is now a ratio of actual parts processed as compared to the manufacturer's specified performance for that machine under the parametric input conditions as monitored by the EIPC program/system. ##EQU6## for the period. The number 660/24 assumes the weighted exposure time average (Mw Te) and the weighted number of exposures (Mw Ne) for the remaining levels processed for the time period tested to be same. Only levels 1 and 2 were averaged to simplify this example calculation.
The model permits the comparison of actual machine utilization under the current conditions to optimum machine capability under ideal lamp conditions. If the maximum lamp intensity capability of the machine is 800 MW/Cm2, the weighted Te value then becomes 0.213 sec. the maximum machine physical capability then becomes 40.1 W/H. Under these conditions, the actual machine utilization would then be reduced to 68.5%.
FIG. 6 is a bar chart of a proximity lithography cell productivity analysis. The chart covers 24 day period and shows a total of 1910 wafers processed for the period and a mean wafers per hour of 80. Total autoalign failures for the period was 240 wafers. The number of failures are the lines across the bars. This display is available on-line from the system computer.
FIG. 7 is a chart available on-line from the computer showing photolithography daily throughput. The number of wafers processed is shown and compared with the theoretical maximum of wafers that can be processed in the photolithography work cell. Also shown is the number of SMS wafers logged. Statistical data is displayed at the right side of the chart.
FIG. 8 is a trend analysis available for each processing machine. FIG. 6 is for machine NS702. Illustrated is wafer number, date and time processed, light intensity and energy used in providing the exposure. To illustrate that on line errors may be detected, the time and energy for wafer 90 shows erroneous data. The bad exposure of wafer #90 saturated the exposure scale causing auto-machine shutdown by EIPC hardware/software. There was a 45 minute downtime between wafer #89 and wafer #91 due to the failure.
FIG. 9 is a TREND ANALYSIS in graph form for intensity and energy of a projection lithography cell. This display is available on a real-time basis from the system.
Another example of process control monitoring of the present invention, is a tuned model process control using semiconductor wafer and machine parametric data. Software programs merge data from many processes within a single piece of equipment that is interfaced to the system. The merge occurs through the use of wafer/machine control algorithms that span the desired usage range of the equipment. A example of this is illustrated in FIG. 10. For example, an implanter uses the ln-ln relationship between dosage and implant sheet resistance. As equipment variations occur, the actual measured run wafer data could start falling below the expected value.
When the delta from the expected value [(in (actual sheet)--in (expected sheet)] is trended by a run, a drift away from the expected value is detected by the system program. The program then recalculates the best fit algorithm through recent data (retune the model), and determines a new coefficient b'. To prevent an operation from drifting too far from a "perfect" process, a process window [(b(max)-b(min)] is define that forces an operation shutdown if b' exceeds the allowed adjusted window.
To address the problem of (b), the program statistically analyzes the changing of the control coefficients with time. This is demonstrated in FIG. 11. The region (X) demonstrates the previously described algorithm shift from b to b'. Region (Y) indicates a rapid changing equipment/process shift. Region (Z) indicates an equipment/process shift that is too large for the program to be allowed to compensate for (beyond the process window), thus shutting down the equipment operation.
As pointed out, with reference to FIG. 1, the system monitors process performance based on wafer/machine models and generates continuous transient window limits based on the expected machine performances. The expected machine performances is based on fed forward process data inserted into the model. Transient deviation outside of any of the program generated window limits triggers an alarm sequence to alert the system operator or engineer. The alarm sequence aids in problem diagnostics and solving. An example of machine transient is illustrated in FIG. 12. In region (A) the duration of the region, the absolute temperature at region start, and the slope of the line is of interest. In Region (B), the number of inflections, the max and min temperatures observed, and the duration of the region are all of interest. The program/system provides a method to identify both catastrophic and subtle variation in equipment performance from run to run. It allows in-situ process adjustment upon detection of a sensor measured variation from normal.
As a further example, of the monitoring process of the system/program, a bipolar diffusion process is examined. The system/program monitors the sheet resistance of the diffused layer as a function of time. The time varies as a function of the previously measured base sheet resistance in order to compensate for base diffusion junction depth variations, creating a constant current gain of the vertical NPN transistors. The control algorithm is be displayed as illustrated in FIG. 13. The value [(actual sheet)--(expected sheet)] is plotted to indicate process stability, as illustrated in FIG. 14 . Using statistical analysis, the system/program would detect a rule set violation at run 9 and shift the algorithm coefficient from b to b'. If b' was within b(min) to b(max), the operation would be allowed to continue processing with no cause identified for the shift of b to b'. The system/program would also be trend tracking the equipment transient component slope of region (A), FIG. 12. If the furnace controller partially failed after run (4) of FIG. 14, then the trace of the run might be displayed as illustrated in FIG. 15, and the trend chart of the slope of the transient region (A) would be as illustrated in FIG. 16.
Using statistical analysis of the machine or wafer slope trend charts alone, a statistically valid decision by the program that a process drift had occured would not be possible until after run (9).
FIGS. 17-22 are plots of machine and wafer operation statistics that are available on-line to permit monitoring of system and work cell operations.
FIG. 17 lists a particular run number, the predicted sheet resistance for the run, the actual sheet resistance and the delta between predicted and actual.
FIG. 18 is an example chart and is used to show a plot of delta sheet resistance by run.
FIG. 19 is a plot of wafer measurements plotted in delta to predict model sheet resistance by run.
FIG. 20 is a temperature cycle run summary showing a normal cycle and a error cycle.
FIG. 21 is a temperature slope trace for Region b of FIG. 20 illustrating the drop in slope due to machine malfunction.
FIG. 22 is a furnace trace graph illustrating when a macine malfunction is detecteed by the computer. Lot numbers 9222029-48 and 9222011-48 for furnace TH403 are affected. See FIG. 19 for product results of this malfunction in the two graphs.
The system/program has access to both wafer and machine trend charts for comparison and correlation and, provides the ability to make a much faster statistically valid determination that a real shift had occurred after run (6). The program then analyzes the trend interaction matrix (both wafer and machine) to chose the proper action path for the observed data. Because of the correlating trends, the system/program decision in this case would be to leave the material control algorithm as in (value=b) and instruct the operator or engineering staff to investigate equipment modes that would cause a slow, undetected temperature increase during high temperature processing after run 6.
By coupling both the wafer and machine parametric data and analyzing them statistically, the cause of most process drifts are not only explained but identified and corrected much sooner than analyzing the wafer or machine parameters alone.

Originally written on Fox Soccer | Last updated 2/6/13
Gareth Bale transferred his goalscoring form from the Premier League to the international stage on Wednesday, helping Wales to a 2-1 win over Austria in a friendly. After scoring superb goals in Tottenham's last two games, the winger made it three in a week - and seven in his last nine internationals - by running onto Joe Allen's pass and steering home a fine finish for the opener in the 21st minute. Bale then turned provider, crossing from the right for Sam Vokes to head home powerfully in the 52nd. Marc Janko gave Poland hope of a comeback by scoring in the 75th but Wales held on at Liberty Stadium in Swansea.

With half the season finished, Sporting News' network of correspondents asked 111 players from 31 teams everything you want to know about what has happened — and will happen — in the 2011 season. As always in our midseason poll, players were not allowed to name their team, teammates or head coach for any of their answers.
With half the season finished, Sporting News' network of correspondents asked 111 players from 31 teams everything you want to know about what has happened — and will happen — in the 2011 season.
As always in our midseason poll, players were not allowed to name their team, teammates or head coach for any of their answers.
Moderately important—46Read More
HGH is a bit of a battleground, but not because NFL players fear getting caught. SN's player poll finds 75 percent think reliable testing is important for their health and the game.
Green Bay is the lone undefeated team in football and the Packers are the players' choice by a wide margin to win the Super Bowl and repeat as champs.
When it comes to getting his peers' opinions, Aaron Rodgers has all the respect in the world. SN's player survey shows him as the runaway winner as midseason offensive MVP.
The Vikings are 2-6, but Jared Allen is dominating like no other defensive player. He's the players' choice for Defensive MVP.
As commissioner a high approval rating is unlikely. But what do players find Roger Goodell? This quote sums it up: "Everybody hates him, but he has to do his job."
Rex Ryan and Mike Tomlin are master motivators who easily command a room. It's no wonder they're players' choice for coach you'd most like to play for in the NFL.
Tom Coughlin was hoisted in celebration after last week's win. Even so, a league-wide poll says the Giants' taskmaster is the NFL coach players would least like as their boss.
New rules on hits and tackles? That's is a sensitive subject in the NFL. An overwhelming majority of players say the league is now too soft.
Veterans describe Cam Newton as "unbelievable" and the "real deal," among other things. It's no surprise the Panthers quarterback is voted top rookie in SN's midseason player poll.
Panthers quarterback Cam Newton, the NFL Draft's No. 1 pick in April, is the runaway biggest surprise player of the first half, according to his peers.
Kick returns can be electrifying, but a 2011 rule change has shorted out opportunities. In polling NFL players, the idea aimed at cutting down injuries has put an ax to excitement.
By now it's clear Chad Ochocinco knows no limit when it comes to running his mouth. Plenty of NFL players rival him for verbal discharge. But there's a surprise in who is deemed 85's rival.
It's a fine line between aggressive and dirty. Defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh is becoming a rising star in Detroit, but among his peers he is the NFL's dirtiest player.
Chris Johnson's blockbuster pact put a spotlight on his season. A slow start makes the Titans' running back the NFL's most disappointing player, according to SN's league-wide survey.
Shortened offseason. Rookie NFL coach. Underachieving QB. Jim Harbaugh is conquering a lot of hurdles in San Francisco, which is why he's SN's top first-half coach in our player poll.
Midway through the 2011 season, SN polls 111 players for their thoughts. In a close vote, Tim Tebow is named the NFL's most overrated player ahead of another polarizing QB.

How to improve concentration in studies Concentrate!! Enjoy your studies!! Excel in exams!! How not to study? Do you remember yourself reading sentences after sentences of your books, but without actually concentrating on it? That is called a casual reading. A casual reading through the books doesn't help much. That is because, the concepts just pass by the mind, without being able to associate themselves with your understanding, or your memory. But the time that you spend in such casual reading never comes back. Moreover, it is boring. Study without concentration is an utter waste of time and energy. Avoid it. The secret of concentration There is no big tricks to develop concentration. If you want to improve your concentration in studies, you just need to enjoy what you read. There are books teaching you meditation, etc that claim to improve your concentration. I have tried a few of them, but personally I feel that the claims are over exaggerated by the authors. I discovered a simple technique that simply works wonder for me. I benefited immensely from the technique, and now I want you to benefit from the secret. The secret to concentration is being able to develop interest in the subject. How to develop interest in the subject? Simply stating, information is not at all interesting. But most curriculum books just provide information. Even intellectual concepts are presented as if they are information. That is the reason why curricular books are so often dreaded by students. But information becomes interesting when we discover the underlying concepts in them. So if you want to make your study hours interesting, try to discover the concepts yourself. Do not just believe what is said in the book. Let whatever you have to learn, be learnt not just as information, but as concepts that YOU have re-discovered. Study tips Make separate self study note book for each subject. When you sit to study a subject, do not forget to be ready with your self study notes and pens(at least 2 colors). With each line you read from the book, make questions, as if you are going to make a tough question paper in that subject. This will force you to concentrate on the subjects. Note down the questions in one color and the answers in another. But write the answers from your understanding, in your own words. Don't copy paste from book. The tougher the questions you have made, the better you have concentrated. And the longer you are going to remember what you have learnt. The most important thing is this: REVISE your notes. This would hardly take 5 minutes for every hour you have spent in making the question and answers. If you miss to revise, then the extra effort that you have put to make the notes will simply be wasted. But every revision will pay back at least 10 times of what you have invested. Solve examples and exercise questions. You will be surprised to see that you are able to solve most of them. Revision tips Jolt down what all you want to revise in a particular study session. Assign the time that you can afford to spend on each topic of revision. Open your self study notes. But don't just read through all that you have written, else your mind will start wondering, day dreaming, etc. Read only the questions. Hide the answers. Try to recall the answer you have written. Check your memory. If you are able to think some new questions and answers in your mind, add them to your notes. When to revise? Every day night, before sleep, revise all that you have noted down in your notes. Every weekend, revise all that you have noted down during the week. Before the exam, all that is needed for the exam. If you have genuinely followed up to this, congratulations!!! You have noted down your success, and before the exam, when everyone else will be cramming, you are revising your success as a fun game. The source : http://thinkingbuddy.uni.cc/wiki/?title=How+to+improve+concentration+in+studies Best types of studying Some key study skills include: Removing distractions and improving concentration Maintaining a balance between homework and other activities Reducing stress, such as that caused by test anxiety Subject-specific study strategies Speed reading Notetaking Preparing for exams Time Management Self Motivation Talking to other students Maintaining a balance between studying and other activities Study sessions Many students find it hard to start working or work for too long when they do. If one finds himself avoiding starting work or seemingly finding ways out of studying then he should try to start studying for short periods of 10-15 minutes on a regular basis. This, if done properly, can help ease one into interrupting your normal daily routine enough to actually get some work done. When one finds that one can sit and concentrate (which are skills that need to be warmed up by this process as well) for longer periods then changing to a full study routine is possible. If one finds that one studies for too long then it can seem much more of a chore than it really has to be. Even students who really enjoy their subject can end up resenting the amount of work they have to do if they fall into ineffective study patterns. If this happens one may begin to fall into the avoiding-starting-to-study pattern. A realistic study pattern (although it is better to find your own personal pattern) is that of a designated 2 hour session with a 5 minute break every half hour. During the 5 minutes be mindful to get away from the studying and do something that is both relaxing and different e.g. get a breath of fresh air or a drink of water. Make sure that you end the 2 hour session whether you have completed what you have been studying or not and commit to return to that point in the next 2 hour session. In between sessions try to do something you enjoy or something new and refreshing. It is sometimes easy to view times of study as mundane but they can also be times where you try new experiences and be creative. At first it may seem a little hard to think of things that you don't normally do and might enjoy and it is different for everyone. Some examples may include going to the park, watching a DVD, painting a picture, going to a museum, meeting friends (but preferably not talking about study), learning a musical instrument, watching a sporting event that you do not normally attend, reading a novel, playing a new sport, etc... It is important to attempt to change a revision period to a time where you are choosing to experience new things as well as choosing to learn new things, which is a much more positive way to approach studying Preparing for exams Preparing for an exam requires a good understanding of what is expected of you, a rigid work- life balance than maximizes your energy and strengths, a certain amount of self discipline, and a set of study skills that are effective, varied, and interesting. It is a basic premise that the more that you use information (read it, speak about it, draw it, write it, use it etc...) the more you remember and the longer you will remember it. The PQRST Method The method that many students who like to add an overt structure to their learning to keep them on track is the PQRST method. It helps the student focus on studying and prioritizing the information in a way that relates directly to how they will be asked to use that information in an exam. The method can also be modified to suit any particular form of learning in most subjects. It can also allow more accurate timing of work so instead of having to decide how much time to attribute to one whole topic you can decide how long it might take to preview the material and then each step after that. Preview: Look at the topic you have to learn by glancing over the major headings or the points in the syllabus. Question: Formulate questions that you would like to be able to answer once you have finished the topic. It is important that you match as much as possible what you would like to know to your syllabus or course direction. This allows a certain flexibility to take in other topics that may aid your learning of the main point or if you are just interested. Make sure that your questions are neither more specific or more open-ended than they might be in an exam. Read: Read through your reference material that relates to the topic you want to learn for your exam being mindful to pick out the information that best relates to the questions you wish to answer. Summary: This is the most flexible part of the method and allows individual students to bring any ways that they used to summarize information into the process. This can include making written notes, spider diagrams, flow diagrams, labeled diagrams, mnemonics, making a voice recording of you summarizing the topic, or any method that feels most appropriate for what has to be learned. You can combine several methods as long as this doesn't extend the process too long as you may lose sight that you are merely seeking to use the information in the most appropriate way. Test: Use this step to assess whether you have focused on the important information and stayed on topic. Answer the questions that you set for yourself in the Question section as fully as you can as this using of the information is another way of using the information and remembering more of it. This section also reminds you to continually manipulate the information so that is focused on whatever form of assessment that it is needed for. It is sometimes easy to lose sight of the point of learning and see it as a task to be completed mundanely. Try to avoid adding questions that you didn't formulate in the Q section. Re-writing Notes This is time consuming, but probably one of the cheapest and most effective ways of studying. There are two types of information that can be written over again: notes taken in class, or information out of a text book. If you're going to re-write notes that were taken from class, then you're ready whenever you have the time: just get out your notebook, pen and extra paper and begin to re-write. If you're going to re-write parts of a chapter from a book, the best way to go about it is: Highlight all the important information in the chapter. This makes re-writing quicker. Next, re-write the information that you've highlighted. This is good for students who don't retain information well from lecture classes. Once you're finished, the next step is one of the following: Write the notes again. If you can find time to re-write your notes at least twice, you'll have a better chance of remembering. More than twice is even better, but it's hard to find time for that. The other option is to make flashcards or mock test questions (both techniques are listed in this entry). Summary Skills Every student will have summary methods that are individual to them as the subjects they are using them for. It is important to vary your summary skills set and not get stuck on one method that you have always done and have had success with. Some methods are better suited to different subjects and tasks, e.g. mnemonics may fare better for learning lists or facts while spider diagrams better for linking concepts. Mnemonics: This is a very old method of memorizing lists and organising them. As they are often funny, rude, or explicit, they are sometimes not seen as the creative and effective memory devices that actually aids the process of categorising information that occurs in the brain when trying to remember new facts by linking them to an event, word, or location. Example 1: A simple childhood mnemonic is used for learning the points of the compass. Never Eat Shredded Wheat reminds us not only of the points of the compass but in the order they occur when encountered clockwise. Example 2: Unlike elephants and compasses the best mnenomics actually relate directly to what it is that has to be learnt. A medical example of this is related to the four muscles surrounding the shoulder (the mnemonic taken from the first letter of each muscle givens SITS) and it is said that anyone hurting these muscles SITS out from sports or other activities. Given context the mnemonic itself is more useful as a memory tool despite also reminding you of the names of the muscles, the order in which they are located and so on. The best menomics are generally personal ones that you generate at the point of learning and if possible are arranged to be in context. You can also use the imagery created e.g. an elephant with a compass in the first example, to remember the information more as images and stories in a method often praised by people who teach people to improve their memory. Spider diagrams: Using spider diagrams or mind maps can be an effective way of linking concepts together. They are incredibly useful for planning essays and essays in exams. They can also be useful for linking loosely related chains of facts and make them form a more solid narrative of connected information. There are many books available that built on spider diagrams or mind maps as an effective summary tool used in all parts of modern life. Diagrams: Diagrams are often underrated tools. They can be used to bring all the information together and give you practice at reorganizing what you have learned in order to produce something practical and useful. They can also remind you of information you have learned very quickly particularly if you made the diagram yourself at the time that you learned the information. Try buying a notebook with no lines and make a sketch, diagram, or pictogram of the information you have just learned. This could form part of the Summary part of the PQRST method or in any other way. These pictures can then be transferred to flash cards that are very effective last minute revision tools rather than rereading any written material. FlashCards (A5 index cards): These are effective revision tools but students often set out to make them and they become more of a chore. It is much more effective to make cards at the time that you are revising. If these cards are made during the summary part of the PQRST method then are directly associated with what you learned. The cards are less effective when students set out to make them late in a revision cycle merely as tools to look at during the 20-30 minutes before an exam. The cards are indeed useful for last minute reading as they offer nothing new and therefore is more likely to focus on what you know and not alert you to something you don't know so well. Hybridize all of the above: Since each of the above methods is proven to improve study outcomes, it makes sense that the ideal should be to do all of the above at once. Checkout study software generally for this approach where a hybrid of the above is emphasized. Happy Pyramids Some students find the topics that they are revising overwhelming and seemingly endless. Although the PQRST method can help maintain your focus on the whole point of learning the large topic in the first place there are other methods that help facilitate your learning. If you break a large topic in a series of smaller topics that can be defined as a size of material that takes less than 10 minutes each to complete. Even the largest project or topic can be broken down into these bitesize sections. The important part comes in regarding the series of smaller 10 minutes as adding up to the whole topic and that it is finished. This system can be drawn as a pyramid with topics requiring incrementally more time on each level. So if you decided that you needed to break it into 20 minute segments then you could place 10 minute and 5 minute topics on lower levels of the pyramid that mount up to the whole topic at the apex of the pyramid. Starting from the bottom when all the smaller blocks are in the place then the pyramid is built and the topic finished. Topic ABCDEFGHIJK Collectively 1.5 hours Part 1 ABC 20 Minutes Part 2 DEF 10 Minutes Part 3 GHI 5 Minutes Part 4 JK 5 minutes Something that may have been put or slowed down by the size or important of the topic may be greatly shortened. Of course you can apply any other study skill such as the PQRST method to each of the individual parts to help their progression.. Traffic Lights It is a common pitfall in studying to set out to learn everything that you have been taught in an orderly and precise fashion. If time, boredom, and fatigue were not variables that can impact on your studying and even health then this may always be possible. More normally you will have a set amount of time (that doesn't encroach on leisure time for any reason) to learn a set amount of topics. An easy way to separate what is really important to know (likely to constitute the majority of exam marks) from what you would like to know if you had infinite time and energy is the traffic light system. Green: Take a green pen and label or place a star next to everything that is essential to know for your exam. These topics should be studied first and allow you to progress to the less number of amber and red topics. These should generally be the first few on a syllabus and be the easiest concepts to learn but also the easiest to underestimate. Amber: Take an orange or gold pen and label everything that is neither essential to know or is not too time consuming to learn. This should form the mainstay of your learning and range from topics leading from the green range of topics to ones leading to the red range of topics. Red: Take a red pen and label everything you would want to know if you had all the time and energy necessary but not at the expense of the essential green topics and desired amber topics. This would include overly complicated ideas and subjects that may add one or two marks but may cost you if you focus all your attention just on knowing the more difficult bits and underestimating the importance of accumulating the green and amber topics first and to a greater extend. A greater focus on green and amber topics may also lead to topics that seemed red to become more amber as time goes on. The color system should remind you that it is easier to get moving on green topics and to be needlessly stopped and held up by red topics. It is also important to stop amber topics It is also a healthy reminder to keeping your learning as a progressive experience and never allow it to stagnate where all topics become more red in nature as you become more tired and bored. An alternative form of this can be used in which you determine which subjects you need to spend more time on. Source:

This site doesn´t seem to believe that any 2002 Urals exist, since they kept kicking the form back to me saying "model not listed". Mine is a 2002 with the 745 cc. engine which has many improvements over the old 650cc. The bike has the "Earls-type fork" and handles really well. My accidental $60,000 asking price is very negotiable.

Good fill but leaky cork. Drinkable but clearly oxidized.
Typical old bordeaux nose. Bottle showed signs of seepage. Huge funky, musty nose, earth, wet forest floor nose. Very easy to drink. Not much left here. It has seen its best days. The color when pouring was fantastic and the wine looked like it was only a few years old, which shocked me. But the power and tremendous flavors had left the building on this particular bottle.
Opened about 1 hour prior to serving. The nose evolved, with brett dominating at first before giving way to more green, herbal aromas. As the wine opened up it showed more cab franc influence, with bell pepper and jalapeno notes. This was side by side with barnyard, dried leather, black cherry, and cassis. The tannins are fully resolved now, and they do a lovely job working with the remaining fruit. This is in a great place, showing complexity and balance along with the classic mature Bordeaux element, sheer class. Drink up.
Very elegant and balanced, with a nice interplay between the fruit and the tertiary aromas. A classic, this is drinking very well and by no means over the hill.
Bright red/Orange colour. Smooth delicate Bordeaux with typical mature notes. Suprised that the wine is still that nice. Maybe an other 1-3 years to go.
The wine looks orange colored. The legs are slow. There is light sediment in the bottle.
