Analysts' Consensus Rating for NetEase (NASDAQ:NTES) (How are Consensus Ratings Calculated?)
MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for company stocks using the most recent rating from each brokerage that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Since brokers often use different ratings systems, each rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0-1.5 = Sell, 1.5-2.5 = Hold, 2.5-3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months.
MarketBeat will no longer include ratings and price target data in its consensus calculation if a broker drops coverage and MarketBeat has received a report that coverage was dropped. Ratings from certain research firms that issue ratings using purely quantitative methods (such as Zacks, Vetr and ValuEngine) are not included in consensus calculations. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Painted some more today.
Wednesday, November 11, 2009
Game stuff that I worked on in recent years. Clockwise, from left, top to bottom, first picture: Our House andWonderworld for the DS. Ultimate Duck Hunting for the Wii, 300 March to Glory for the PSP. Bottom pic is all stuff from Neopets, Petpet Adventures: The Wand of Wishing for the PSP. This is the most recent work from the past 5 years. I have also worked on (and shipped) Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow( PC\Web)Command and Conquer:Generals (PC), Medal of Honor:Frontline (PS2), and Supercar Street Challenge (Ps2). I'd be happy to post that stuff if anybody is interested in seeing it, and if I can dig that far back to find it :)
Tuesday, August 18, 2009
Another old file I came across. This is about 7 years old, a particle test. This was my first time trying out a full scene where I composited lighting passes, matte painted background, particle systems, deflectors and rigid body dynamics. It took forever to render all the parts with the 256mb I had at the time. With all the stuff I now know, I should revisit this.
Monday, July 20, 2009
Wednesday, July 8, 2009
I love messing around with chalk, nupastel sticks and conte crayons. Something about that hands on feel you get, it's so free. Sure, you can make things faster and more precise with digital, but it's just not the same.
This wasn't meant to be anyone specific, just a rough caricature sketch, but it kind of looks like Geronimo. It also looks a bit like my cousin, who ironically says that Geronimo was our cousin. I wouldn't know about that. I suppose every Scot says he is related to William Wallace and every Zulu related to Shaka?
Tuesday, July 7, 2009
The retrieval boat, as described in Starship Troopers, is the key vehicle when it comes to troop exfiltration. I did a quick design of this years ago, and am now revisiting and fine tuning the "A" model. My original idea was to combine the A-10 Warthog, the C-130 Herc and the US Space Shuttle.
Monday, July 6, 2009
Like King Kong and LOTR was for Peter Jackson, and the Titanic was for James Cameron, the Starship Troopers novel is my passion. I first read the book when I was 11, and I've been designing it's spaceships, worlds, aliens, and powered armor suits ever since. While enjoyable in its own right, the movie of the same name has almost nothing to do with the book, and I hope to someday correct this error. A game document and levels I created were my de facto senior thesis, and I've written no less than separate 5 game documents on the subject: a main game and four sequels. To distance myself from the continuously awful movie franchise, I've wrapped my stories around the label of "Robert Heinlein's Mobile Infantry". Someday, if I keep at it, I'll be able to create these games or at least bring the actual story from the novel to the big screen...
Friday, July 3, 2009
Something about this design was gnawing at me, so I got up early to make some quick changes. The wing area, engines and tail section just didn't quite match up on the front view, so I did some quick photoshop retouches and voila! It matches up better, and now fits my overall idea. Maybe time for a 3D model?
Wednesday, July 1, 2009
Another quick hit aircraft concept, this time from a story I wrote called The Children of Caprica. Yes, you guessed it, it's set in the current Battlestar Galactica tv series. I wasn't that interested in the show when it first came out, but an insistent friend gave me the season one DVDs. I quickly scooped up season 2 and 2.5, just in time for the next season. I wrote my story just as season 3 started, but my interest in the show started to wane as the season went on. The plotlines they had weren't nearly as interesting. In the end, I really liked how BSG finished, and it proved a nice fit for my story. Hm, that reminds me, I'm not sure if I registered this one with the WGA yet.......
In any case, this ship is a stealthy transport, designed for Colonial Special Operations units. The trick for me is to come up with something practical, something that makes sense aerodynamically, militarily, and still looks like it could fit in a hangar bay alongside the other Colonial ships, Vipers, Raptors, etc. I have a tendency to overthink stuff sometimes, but I guess I'm more in the James Cameron school of thought, which is to say, make it cool, but make it look like it could really exist (now I'm not saying I'm in the same league as Cameron, just saying I'm more into his way of thinking ).
Friday, June 26, 2009
I loved looking at aircraft books as a kid, and spent a lot of time drawing and designing my own. This is a quick line art concept for a helicopter design from my Reapers game concept. A stealthy transport for the futuristic soldiers I concepted in an earlier painting. I had thought of it as a sister ship to the Comanche helicopter. I'm hoping to put together some concept paintings and 3D models soon.

While working on my matte painting and looking for photos online, I found a place called Yamagata Castle. As I looked for more info, I inevitably came to more works from the artist of the same name, the guy I used to work for so long ago. In the process, I found this painting, called Paris Tour. If you have a serigraph of this, I printed it many years ago.
Tuesday, June 2, 2009
Ages and ages ago, I stepped into my first art studio job. I worked in a fine art serigraphy studio, and one of our chief clients was Hiro Yamagata. His work was immensely popular at the time. He was very close to Arnold Schwarzenneger, and the two threw a party commemorating Yamagata-san's newest artwork. This was the invitation we made for the event, a collectable hand printed serigraph, signed by both men. I wonder how many of these prints still exist?
Monday, June 1, 2009
I painted a version of this a few years ago, but I never got around to finishing it. It's a concept from a story\ game design document I wrote in 2003, based on the ideas I was reading about the Army's Future Warrior 2025 project. A short time later, one of my best friends became a field tester for this system, so I began modifying my design based on the few unclassified things he could tell me about it.

I created this piece for this month's matte painting challenge on CGtantra.com. It's a great site and I've learned a lot by being a member, as well as by working on this matte painting. The challenge guidelines for this month were to create an ancient temple, with hyper realistic colors. I decided to improve upon some of the ideas presented in the first Alien vs Predator movie, and this piece was the result.
After 10 years making games, I realize that I haven't had the time or passion to make my own art. I vowed to change that, and the past few months have been about rediscovery. Art is fun again. This piece is how I like to draw, really just pulling the lights out of the dark, highlights out of the shadows, probably the opposite of how people usually think of creating a sketch. An observation drawing, this is just a white prismacolor pencil on black paper.
I've spent the better part of 20 years working in the professional art industry, first in fine art, then graphics. The last 10 have been digital, mainly in video games. I'm now very focused on matte paintings and concepts. This is my first official matte painting. It's based on a level design I created years ago, a mission to an alien world to destroy a doomsday type weapon. Normally a lens flare is a kiss of death, but I was referred to the machine in the movie Contact, and found that it was a good look for what I was going for.
Ok, I've finally done it! After spending the past week or so updating my website, I realized it's a lot more economical, time and money wise, just to set up this blog. So here it is, a place where I can show you my goods, err, art wise, that is. Enjoy!

A witness in the trial of former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein has said her family was "buried alive" by government forces who attacked her village.
Saddam Hussein was ejected from the trial two weeks ago
She gave evidence as the trial for alleged war crimes and genocide resumed in Baghdad after a two-week break.
It was suspended after Saddam Hussein was ejected for defying the judge's instructions to be quiet.
The seven defendants were present, but a key defence lawyer says his team will continue to boycott the trial.
The 31-year-old woman was 13 when her northern Kurdish village was raided.
Speaking from behind a curtain to conceal her identity, she said: "I know the fate of my family. They were buried alive."
Identity cards belonging to five of her sisters were found in a mass grave in Samawa, south Iraq, the court heard.
"I would like to ask Saddam a question: 'What was the guilt of women and children?" she said through a translator.
The defence says the attacks were legitimate strikes against Kurds who were siding with Iranian forces.
The woman described how the Iraqi army burned her village in April 1988.
She was arrested with eight members of her family and held in prison.
She said one prison guard "used to drag women, their hands and feet shackled, and leave them in a scorching sun for several hours."
More than 100,000 Kurds are said to have died during the so-called Anfal operation in 1988.
Another witness, farmer Abdul-Hadi Abdullah Mohammed, said his pregnant wife, mother, two brothers and two sisters, and four of their children had been missing since Iraqi forces destroyed his village in 1988.
He told the court that he had learnt his mother had died in Nugrat Salman after becoming ill.
Identity cards of one sister and a brother had been found in the mass graves in Samawa.
"The fate of my family is still unknown up to now," he told the court.
Both witnesses spoke of a black dog that dug up remains of prisoners and ate them.
The judge adjourned the case until 10 October.
Claims of bias
The previous session of the current trial ended in chaos after Saddam Hussein and co-defendant, Ali Hassan al-Majid, were ejected.
The remaining five defendants rose to their feet, shouting at the judge.
The defence team of lawyers was also absent.
The BBC's Jim Muir in Baghdad says the long break was clearly designed to calm things down and allow time for the defendants to consult their legal team.
The team met Saddam Hussein a week ago but leading defence counsel, Khalil al-Dulaimi, has said the defence will continue to boycott the trial.
The defence is protesting about the replacement of former chief judge, Abdullah al-Amiri, following accusations of bias towards the former president.
New Chief Judge Mohammed Oreibi al-Khalifa has been much tougher on the defendants.
During the recess, the new judge's brother-in-law was murdered by gunmen in Baghdad.
Saddam Hussein has already been tried for the killing of 148 Shias in Dujail in 1982 and a judgement is awaited.


Muddy Waters, “Country Blues” (Library of Congress sessions, 1941)
An incredible sea-change occurs during the first of several short interviews that Alan Lomax conducts with McKinley Morganfield, better known as Muddy Waters, while Lomax was recording Waters for the Library of Congress. On the first performance of the recordings, historic in itself as the first time Waters’ voice and guitar were set to tape, Waters plays a basic country blues number, an original, based on Robert Young’s “Walking Blues,” titled, simply enough, “Country Blues.” The song is another entry in the long-line of blues based around the “Walking Blues” template, and Waters claims to have learned his version from Son House. This information precipitates a sparkling moment in the following interview in which Lomax, who seems not to have heard of House before, quizzes Waters on the merit of House. This moment is particularly stirring in light of the fact that Lomax recorded Son House on this same journey, perhaps spurred by Waters’ recommendation.
Muddy Waters and Alan Lomax, “Interview 1” (Library of Congress sessions, 1941)
The significant moment that I began the article talking about is impossible to pinpoint; the only hint that such a moment ever occurs is in the vast gulf that separates “Country Blues” and the second performance, “I Be’s Troubled.” Prior to the first interview, Waters comes across as a competent, but unremarkable blues musician in the pre-war, country blues vein. With the opening bars of “I Be’s Troubled” Waters emerges fully-formed as the confident, Chicago electric blues pioneer that would revolutionize the blues in the late 1940s.
Muddy Waters, “I Be’s Troubled” (Library of Congress sessions, 1941)
Anyone familiar with Waters’ work for Chess in the late ’40s and 50s, will instantly recognize “I Be’s Troubled” as the root of “I Can’t Be Satisfied,” and what’s most important about “I Be’s Troubled” is how incredibly close it is to “I Can’t Be Satisfied,” which was recorded six years later in December 1947 for the Chess predecessor Aristocrat Records. This similarity is indicative of how early in his career Waters had begun to form the style of playing and vocal delivery that would make him famous. That “I Can’t Be Satisfied” was one of the first four tracks recorded by Waters for Aristocrat is also telling, as it shows how close the track lay to his vision of himself as a performer, suggesting that Waters arrived in Chicago with a well-formed conception of what would become his signature sound.
Muddy Waters, “I Can’t Be Satisfied” (Aristocrat, 1948)
In the interview that follows “I Be’s Troubled,” Lomax’s first few questions are an attempt to pin down the inspiration for the song, to which Waters proudly replies, “I made that up my own self.”

CURE-Nigeria has continued its advocacy for justice reforms and respect for human rights across the country. Here is one of such events on the 6th March, 2018 in Asaba, Delta State.
On The Role of the Rule Of Law And Human Rights In Reforming the Criminal Justice System in Delta State Organized By Citizens United For The Rehabilitation Of The Errants (Cure) – Nigeria And Bonum Seeds Foundation In Collaboration With High Court Of Justice, Delta State At Orchid Hotel, DBS Road, GRA, Asaba, Delta State. …Read More
One critical part of our work involves visiting places of detention to assess physical conditions of detention facilities and how these affect detainees’ social, health welfare being. Also, we assess human rights condition of inmates. The findings from these visits form part of our advocacy programming and activities.
Here, the Executive Director, Mr. Sylvester Uhaa, visits SARS Detention Facility in Abuja, in partnership with the National Human Rights Commission, Nigerian Bar Association, the National Committee Against Torture and NOPLIN, ASO Radio, to assess human rights conditions and access to justice for inmates in the facility. This visit was conducted in the wake of the national outcry for the reform of SARS following series of human rights violations.
Visit to Senator David Umaru
Visit to key stakeholders such as the law and policy makers, law enforcement, religious and traditional institutions, among other, is a vital part of effort to achieve justice reforms and promote human rights in Nigeria. Here, members of CURE-Nigeria paid a visit to Distinguished Senator David Umaru, the Chairman, Senate Committee on Human Rights and Judiciary at the National Assembly.
Among other things, CURE-Nigeria asked the Committee to visit places of detention to assess human rights and prison conditions, as well as take steps to ensure the full implementation of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, 2015, particularly, the use of alternatives to incarceration. We also brougt to his attention some serious loopholes in the Act and the urgent need for amendment of those parts for effective and efficient justice administration in Nigeria. The Senator was pleased with the visit and promised to take our requests to his Committee for consideration and necessary action.
In November 2017, CURE-Nigeria carried out an intensive advocacy on the perennial issue of high rate of awaiting trial inmates in our prisons through the use of press conferences to reach relevant stakeholders. This became imperative as most of the ills in our prisons are linked to congestion due to the large awaiting trial proportion of our prison population. More than 70% of the people in prisons in Nigeria are awaiting trial. CURE-Nigeria visited prisons in Lagos, Port Harcourt, Kano and Enugu, states that are amongst those with the highest awaiting trial population before the press conferences were done at these locations.
Some pictures from the press conference
Two of CURE-Nigeria’s main activities are advocacy visits to stakeholders and training of criminal justice actors. Through these visits, we challenge policies, legislations and practices that do not conform to domestic and international law, and make suggestions for reforms.
Through the training, we are able to train stakeholders such as judicial, police and prison officers, as well as prosecutors on the law and international standards. We invite experts to deliver presentations on various topics, and participants are given plenty of opportunity to ask questions, share ideas and learn from each other. This has contributed to justice reforms in Nigeria. Also, major decisions have been reached at some of these trainings which have huge impact on justice reform in Nigeria. For example, at our training in 2012, a representative of the Federal Ministry of Justice announced the Ministry’s decision to withdraw its proposal to the Federal Government to build more prisons following CURE-Nigeria’s persistence argument that the country does not need new prisons in order to de-congest the prisons, as contained in a letter to the then President Goodluck Jonathan. See link to the letter…….
Here are pictures of some of our advocacy visits and training sessions.

Barrett’s esophagus is a condition in which the tissue lining the esophagus changes, becoming more like the tissue lining the intestine. This change is thought to be caused by exposure to stomach acid, which occurs when the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) does not function properly. It is a complication of GERD or gastroesophageal reflux disease. Barrett’s esophagus is a serious condition because it increases the risk of esophageal cancer. It is diagnosed through an endoscopy and can be treated through medications or surgery.
What are the symptoms of Barrett’s esophagus?
This condition is often attributed to long-standing gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). GERD is a condition in which stomach contents—including acid and bile—flow backward from the stomach into the esophagus. Over time, this backward flow of stomach contents may damage the esophageal lining, causing it to change. Symptoms of Barrett’s esophagus may include:
- Frequent Heartburn
- Difficulty Swallowing Food
- Chest Pain
However, approximately half of the people diagnosed with Barrett’s esophagus do not have any symptoms of GERD. Early diagnosis and treatment of Barrett’s esophagus are essential, as the condition can progress to cancer of the esophagus.
How do doctors detect Barrett’s esophagus?
Doctors typically detect Barrett’s esophagus through an endoscopy, which is a procedure that uses a thin, flexible tube with a camera on its end to view the inside of the esophagus. During an endoscopy, your doctor may also take tissue samples from the esophagus for further testing. If you have Barrett’s esophagus, your doctor will likely recommend additional testing and follow-up visits to monitor the condition. If left untreated, Barrett’s esophagus can lead to cancer of the esophagus.
However, treatment options are available and effective, so it is essential to catch the condition early. If you are experiencing symptoms such as heartburn or trouble swallowing, talk to your doctor about getting an endoscopy to check for Barrett’s esophagus.
Treatment for Crohn’s Disease
There is no cure for Crohn’s disease, but there are treatments available that can help manage the symptoms and improve quality of life. Treatment typically includes a combination of medication and lifestyle changes. Medications used to treat Crohn’s disease include anti-inflammatory drugs, immune system suppressors, antibiotics, and biological agents. Surgery may also be necessary in some cases.
However, several lifestyle changes can be made to help manage the disease. These include:
- Eating a healthy diet
- Getting regular exercise
- Avoiding triggers like caffeine, alcohol, and smoking
- Managing stress levels
- Taking probiotics supplements
What are the treatment options for Barrett’s esophagus?
Barrett’s esophagus is a condition in which the tissue lining the esophagus changes, becoming more like the tissue lining the intestine. This change is often caused by exposure to stomach acid, which can occur when the muscle separating the stomach and esophagus is weak or damaged. Barrett’s esophagus can lead to severe complications, including cancer of the esophagus.
The first line of treatment for Barrett’s esophagus is usually medication. Medications can help reduce stomach acid and prevent further damage to the esophagus. In some cases, surgery may also be recommended to remove damaged tissue or to strengthen the muscle separating the stomach and esophagus. With early diagnosis and appropriate treatment, Barrett’s esophagus can be effectively managed.
In some cases, surgery may be necessary to remove damaged tissue. The type of surgery will depend on the extent of the damage. For instance, endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) may be used to remove small areas of abnormal tissue. A more extensive surgery, such as an esophagectomy, may be required if a larger area is affected. Surgery carries its own risks, so it should only be considered if other treatments have been ineffective. However, surgery may be the best option for some people with Barrett’s esophagus to prevent cancer.
Living with Barrett’s esophagus
Diagnosis of Barrett’s esophagus can be alarming, but it’s important to remember that this condition does not necessarily mean you will develop cancer. However, Barrett’s esophagus could increase your risk for esophageal cancer, so protecting your health is essential.
Be sure to see your doctor regularly for checkups and endoscopies. These appointments will help catch any changes in your condition early. It’s also crucial to avoid foods that trigger heartburn and quit smoking if you smoke. These measures can help reduce your risk of developing cancer and improve your overall health.
How can I prevent Barrett’s esophagus?
There is no sure way to prevent Barrett’s esophagus, but you can help reduce your risk by avoiding stomach acid reflux. This means avoiding foods and beverages that trigger heartburn and taking medications to reduce stomach acid production. You should also see your doctor regularly for checkups and endoscopies if you have Barrett’s esophagus to monitor the condition and ensure that you receive the best possible treatment. You can live a normal and healthy life with Barrett’s esophagus with proper treatment and care.
If you want to learn more about Barrett’s esophagus or other gastrointestinal diseases, don’t hesitate to contact us to schedule an appointment.

Giant mosaic unveiled in world's second largest Orthodox church
BELGRADE - AFP
The giant mosaic, which weighs 40 tons and was worked on by 70 Serbian and Russian artists, decorates the central dome of the city's Saint Sava Orthodox cathedral.
The unveiling was attended by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, who arrived in the capital on Feb. 22 for a two-day visit, alongside Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic and Bosnian Serbia leader Milorad Dodik.
Vucic commended the project for "weaving in millions of glittering pieces into one single message of brotherhood and solidarity" and thanked the lead artist, Russia's Nikolai Mukhin.
The mosaic represents Christ's Ascension into heaven and was financed by Russian energy giant Gazprom.
It was assembled in Moscow for a year before being transported to Belgrade.
The construction of Saint Sava cathedral, which can accommodate up to 10,000 people, started in 1939, based upon the model of Haghia Sophia in Istanbul. But building was interrupted two years later with German occupation at the start of World War II.
Neglected by former Yugoslavia's communist authorities, the project to finish the cathedral has gone on for decades.
According to a deal signed in 2012, Russia is participating in the decoration of the cathedral dedicated to the Serbian Orthodox Church founder.
While visiting the cathedral, Lavrov also met the head of Serbian Orthodox Church Patriarch Irinej.
Serbia and Russia, both mainly Orthodox countries, are traditional allies.

However, we are hearing that Daniel did end up carrying someone off that night!
According to sources inside the Vanity Fair post-Oscar party, Daniel's "blonde female friend" had a bit too much to drink and looked ready to be sick!
At that point the Harry Potter actor reportedly carried the girl up to her room!
Did Daniel spend his glamorous Oscars night caring for a drunk friend? Did he have to hold someone's hair back in a tux?

O God, the days are surely coming when all your promises will be fulfilled to your faithful children. We thank you for your faithfulness to us throughout all generations. We pray for the church. May we listen deeply for your voice. Grace us with discerning minds and willing spirits as we join with you to further your mission and discern your path forward for us. Strengthen us to be your hands, and feet and hearts and to know you and your ways more fully.
As the pandemic continues, we pray for the grace for the challenging road yet to journey. We pray for the sick, health care providers feeling the strain of overwork, scientists, and governments making hard decisions. Calm our fears… Gentle our worries. Thank you that you are always with us and will never forsake us.
In your time, O Lord, a righteous branch sprang up and you brought justice and righteousness in every land. We pray for our nation, and all nations, that your peace would be manifest in every corner of the earth, that justice would rule.
In your Kingdom, O Lord, you bring your people safety and comfort. We pray your healing grace for the sick, the suffering, the wounded, and those in distress of any kind including those whom we name before you now……………..
Comfort all who grieve, we pray. When Christmas cheer abounds, help us be mindful of those who are struggling during this season.
O God, your great works of redemption, span the ages. We also pray for those who rejoice this week. Thank you for answered prayer and open doors. May each who rejoices be filled with joy and gladness.
We also pray for our households of faith: May your joy and peace fill each heart.
In the fullness of time, O God, you sent your Son, to be born of Mary. And his name was Emmanuel: God With Us. We thank you for your Presence with us, and we pray that you might be always present with those whom we love, our communities and beyond.
Come among us O God, and hear our prayers; so that when your Son Jesus comes among riding on a cloud and with great power and might, we might come to adore him. Amen.

The world is cleaning up. On Sept. 25, 2010, volunteers from around the US will be participating in the annual Ocean Conservancy’s International Coastal Clean-Up Day.
Here in Utah, cities, landowners, clubs, organizations, and different companies have all teamed up in an effort to clean up the Utah Legacy Preserve.
The Preserve was created when the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) bought land to build Legacy Highway. The land that wasn’t used for the highway was designated as a nature preserve designed to restore natural plants and provide a safe habitat for migratory birds that depend on the plants around the Great Salt Lake area to survive.
“We invite people to help make a difference in their own backyard,” the project’s environmental consultant Lynda Jo Sperry said.
“This is our third year of being involved, and I love it,” Sperry said. As a biology teacher at Salt Lake Community College (S.L.C.C.), her focus is trying to get Bruin students involved in this project. In past years, they have had between 150 to 200 people show up to contribute.
Sperry is offering her Biology class an opportunity to replace a 1-2 page research paper with coming on the 25 and helping with this project. In the past three years, students who have participated found this experience extremely rewarding.
“They (past students) loved it,” Sperry said. She still has students who e-mail her asking about service projects in the area. The 25th is also an opportunity to see the Legacy Preserve, which is normally closed to public.
She believes that coming to this event could be a valuable experience. “It’s your own backyard…students need to have experience to make big decisions,” she said. “This project is a good opportunity to get out there, get some fresh air, and meet new friends.”
She feels that being out there and helping to clean up the Preserve may open the eyes of the volunteers. “When you’re out there picking up trash, and you pick up your thousandth water bottle, maybe next time you’ll think twice before you throw one out your window…” Sperry said
Many students don’t show up. About eight to ten students per biology class will make an appearance and sometimes the SLCC environmental club will put a group together to help out. After taking a survey of twenty students in Sperry’s Biology class, only two people said they were for sure coming. Five people said they might come, but weren’t sure, and thirteen said they weren’t interested in going. When asked why, most of them said it was too much work, and they had better things to do.
According to Sperry, however, “Anything valuable is hard work.”
The program offers free lunch, and the Wasatch Mountain Club is providing canoes so volunteers can canoe down the Jordan River and pick up trash. If you are interested in going, it starts at 9:00 a.m. and you take the 500 South exit on Legacy Parkway.

The scary truth behind Halloween candy
For mother Natasha Davis, letting her son trick-or-treat on Halloween night does not raise any concerns. Davis gives her son candy made from what she believes has few processed ingredients, such as DOTS, Twizzlers and gummy bears. But, these candies may be more harmful than she thinks.
“[My son is] not much of a candy eater and all the candy he does collect, either I eat it or give it away,” Davis said.
But DOTS, Twizzlers and gummy bears all have one thing in common: they contain artificial food coloring Red 40, Yellow 5 and Blue 1.
According to Additude, a website focused on Attention Deficit Disorder research, Red 40, Yellow 5 and Blue 1 are certified food dyes linked to hyperactivity in children. Yellow 5, or tartrazine, is also linked to blurred vision, severe headaches, anxiety and fatigue.
The Food and Drug Administration is aware these chemicals may be linked to hyperactivity in children, but still considers dye to be a safe chemical for consumption. The FDA is required to include food dyes on ingredient lists, but does not have to include the amount added to a product.
Ranked #1, #2 and #6 as the most popular Halloween candies in America according to the Daily Meal, Skittles, M&Ms and candy corn all contain various amounts of artificial food coloring.
Al Bennett, president and owner of the Natural Candy Store, strives to provide customers with healthy and safe alternatives. According to Bennett, the Natural Candy Store provides all-natural ingredients and meets dietary needs of people with allergies and certain lifestyles.
“A lot of people just prefer not to eat chemicals. They don’t want artificial preservatives, or they don’t want to eat dye,” Bennett said. “They don’t want to eat… ingredients that are used to stabilize products; things that are pretty common and have been common for years and years.”
This Halloween, Bennett recommends the “trick-or-treater trade” method to customers, especially mothers. Children collect candy from different households, but when they return to their own, parents swap the candy out for healthier alternatives.
Even though the Natural Candy Store is not quite up to the expectations of the average child according to Bennett, he knows his business still delivers the taste a child is looking for.
“Chemicals are absolutely predictable… they’re engineered… they’re processed in their design… they have a job they’re intended to do,” Bennett said. “With nature, you kind of get what nature provides you.”

Daniil Trifonov and his friend and mentor, Sergei Babayan, present their first full album of piano duets. Rachmaninoff for Two contains performances of the Russian composer’s two Suites for two pianos and the two-piano version of his Symphonic Dances, together with Trifonov’s own transcription of the Adagio from Symphony No. 2. Set for release by Deutsche Grammophon digitally and on 2 CDs on 29 March 2024, the album pays tribute to one of the world’s most beloved pianist-composers, as part of this year’s Rachmaninoff 150 celebrations.
The duo recorded Rachmaninoff for Two at the Vienna Konzerthaus soon after performing there in May 2023 as part of their acclaimed series of Rachmaninoff concerts across Europe. Austria’s Die Presse described their Vienna concert as a “keyboard virtuosos’ festival”, and the Wiener Zeitung hailed the “ravishing kaleidoscope of emotions and colours” achieved in the Symphonic Dances, while another reviewer, writing about their performance in Brussels, called Babayan and Trifonov “worthy heirs” to Rachmaninoff’s “human complexity” and noted their “incredible symbiotic capacity” (Classykeo.com).
Discussing their chosen repertoire for the tour and album, Sergei Babayan acknowledges Rachmaninoff as a genius of the highest calibre, both as a composer and as a pianist who appeared to be blessed with four hands. “When he writes for two players at two pianos, we mortals have the chance to experience how he played on just one piano,” he observes.
Rachmaninoff’s Suite No. 1 began life in 1893 under the title Fantaisie (Tableaux). The young composer dedicated the work to Tchaikovsky, a member of the Moscow Conservatory examining committee that had just awarded him an exceptional 5+ (A+) for his graduation piece, the opera Aleko. The Suite’s four movements, or “musical pictures” as Rachmaninoff called them, were inspired respectively by poems by Mikhail Lermontov, Lord Byron, Fyodor Tyutchev and Aleksey Khomyakov. The music’s rhapsodic qualities are enhanced by the bell-like sounds created in “Les larmes”, an evocation of the funeral bells of St Sophia’s Cathedral in Novgorod, and again in the final movement, “Pâques”, which also contains a quote from the Orthodox Easter chant “Christ is Risen”.
The Suite No. 2 in C major for two pianos Op. 17 was composed during a visit to Italy in 1901, while Rachmaninoff was working on his Second Piano Concerto. Many of its themes were originally written for but not included in the concerto, with the relationship between the two works clearly reflected in the Suite’s opening “Alla marcia” and dashing “Tarantelle” finale. For Sergei Babayan, this work represents the “joy of life”.
Rachmaninoff arranged the Symphonic Dances (1940), his last original score and among his greatest compositions, for two pianos while still working on its orchestration. He and Vladimir Horowitz gave the transcription’s premiere at a private party in Beverly Hills in 1942. “It’s quite a dark piece,” notes Daniil Trifonov. “The Suites are the work of a young man, full of hope, but the Symphonic Dances is more complex.” The last and longest of its three movements includes quotes from the ancient Dies irae chant and “Blessed art Thou, O Lord” melody from Rachmaninoff’s All-Night Vigil (1915), symbolic of Death on the one hand and Resurrection to eternal life on the other.
“The Symphonic Dances has its own style of orchestral writing, which works very well on piano,” comments Daniil Trifonov. “There are some benefits with the two-piano version: for example, in terms of timing, you can do all kinds of rubato on the piano which would be impossible with full orchestra.”
Trifonov too is a pianist-composer, and his transcription of the third movement of his eminent predecessor’s Second Symphony provides the perfect prelude on this new album. He has inventively reworked this yearning Adagio, full of beautiful melodic writing, to suit his duo partnership with Babayan, built on mutual trust and a unique, intangible quality akin to a kind of musical telepathy.
“It’s a gift to have Daniil next to me onstage in this extraordinary music, because you feel there’s someone there who understands you, without looking, without words,” says Babayan. “Maybe it’s because we spent time together as teacher and student, but I don’t think that is necessarily so. It was there from the first lesson, when he brought Chopin and we began working. I had the feeling that he took more from me in two weeks than people who had studied with me for five years. So it’s a gift that we met. In my life, this has only happened with two people: Daniil and Martha Argerich.”
