By Zach Street, with an introduction by conference convener, Stephanie Mines.
CCC19 participant Zach Street, whose photos grace our website pages, is witnessing the ongoing eruptions from the fissures of Kīlauea on the Island of Hawaii. The volcanic haze, filled with ash and respiratory toxins, has spread across the Pacific and is descending on the Marshall Islands and Micronesia. The airborne debris is especially toxic to babies and young children whose lungs cannot filter the particles. Homes have been lost in the nearby area and sulphuric acid rains down posing a threat to everyone but especially those with respiratory vulnerability. The mixture of beauty and destruction inspires awe when you are safe enough to bear witness. Through this, we have the opportunity to learn how to protect vulnerable populations from dramatic natural events that bring significant health challenges. This will be a topic for future blogs posts.
As I write, the district of Puna on Hawai'i Island is being transformed by the fiery stone rivers of Pelehonuamea, the Goddess of Fire, the inner Earth, and Transformation.
Often referred to as Tūtū Pele by the people of this land, she is more than a Goddess, she is 'ohana. She is family. Tūtū is a respectful way to address an ancestor or grandparent; the title conveys both intimacy and reverence, and stems from the indigenous wisdom that the Earth and her creatures, and even her elemental forces, are indeed family. For Hawaiians, especially those born and raised on the island she calls home, Tūtū Pele is a matriarch to honor in daily life, as well as in our creative expressions of story, song, and dance.
From my home in Hilo, I am watching the Goddess embody her own spectacular dance on the slopes of Kīlauea; though twenty miles distant, the vapors and unmistakable igneous orange glow summarize the story unfolding below. Occasionally, the nebulous horizon of hot clouds is pierced by bright fountains of lava that, from here, appear as incandescent embers of an ancient fire.

I am mesmerized by her relentless and indivisible fusion of creation and destruction, that when viewed together, can only be called Transformation. The opposing forces of her magic entwine together like DNA, the twisting helices our existence sprung from and is strung between. We pace the tensile bridge between joy and grief, as forests burn and new land is made, as we watch the love-built homes and lush farms of friends succumb to a red river with black shores, as we witness the sacred and spectacular birth of this island that we love in all its forms.
There is so much to mourn, so much to celebrate, and when those exist in the same moment, we can only be grateful, patient, and reverent. As Hawaiian researcher Ku'ulei Kanahele explains, when Tūtū Pele enters an area, she is residing on her land, land that is now kapu, or sacred. The land is hers, not ours, and we must simply get out of the way.
This is an essential lesson Tūtū Pele relentlessly teaches us: this is not our Earth, and we are not in control.

Our human temptation is to resist that truth, to assert the power and preeminence of humanity in our intelligence, purpose, and worth among all beings of Earth: we are the top of the pyramid. And we have lived that way recklessly for centuries now, desecrating, toxifying, and redesigning life on earth from the summit of our self-constructed pyramid. This triangular façade feeds the ego in such satisfying ways: Look at our power. Look at our prowess. Look, we are not even animals anymore.
This is the way of unconsciousness; living unware of the integrated nature of all beings, believing in separateness for the purpose of justifying our specialness. Humans are indeed amazing creatures; just look at our creativity and our capacity for love. But that specialness does not come from separation. It arises from the infinite field of energy and consciousness from which our bones and souls are made. We are possible because of all that has joined together before. Life is a journey of becoming together, and the awareness of this unity is consciousness.
As long as we continue as a species to live unconsciously, to view the Earth and her creatures as something to own, manipulate, and overpower, then we will continue to manifest the decay of Life on Earth until the planet decides our time here is done. Climate change, extinction, and the other signals of distress blazing across our seas and sky are an invitation to shift towards consciousness.
Tūtū Pele and her overwhelming fires assist us in accepting this invitation. She burns down the hierarchical façades that we construct and climb and she sets us back on the stones of Earth, reminding us that we are also born from her womb. We are creatures of an interconnected sphere of transformation.
Tonight, the presence of Pelehonuamea on the eastern horizon is especially strong. The fountains of lava are easily visible to the naked eye and the red glow is reaching high into the clouds, almost touching the white radiance of the rising moon. As my awareness embraces these elemental forces illuminating the night sky, a powerful peacefulness descends.
Places I have known and loved, places my friends called home, are now home only to Pelehonuamea, until she allows the currents of water and time to return and create a new home for residents of Earth not yet born. As I walk the bridge between joy and grief I remember that this is transformation. This is how new life is made.
Mahalo, Tūtū Pele, for reminding us of how we are made. Thank you, for inviting us to consciousness. Thank you, for teaching us how to be made new.

Critics of the big-money culture of college football have long decried the means that teams use to get their wins.
But few have been so blatant about the path to college football success as Notre Dame announcer Allen Pinkett, who said, "To have a successful team, you gotta have a few bad citizens … guys that were criminals."
While Pinkett can be criticized for his assessment, what's worse is that he's most likely right, and that many college football supporters — from the fans to the coaches to the university presidents — would support that approach if it guaranteed wins. Teams have found success with troublemakers on their rosters before, and if the winning keeps coming, they'll likely turn to them again.

Many people are still in shock over Tarja getting fired from Nightwish in the end of October. But, life usually moves on, and here Tarja talks about what happened.
There has been a lot of talk, speculations and rumours after the huge cleanup in the Nightwish-camp. All statements has been from the four remaining members. The reason is simple, Tarja decided to let it all calm down a bit before came with her own comments.
In the beginning of November she decided to lift the vail a little. We did not have the opportunity to go to the press conferanse, where she shared her part with the press. But its not really a secret that we are quite close with the band, and thats why she contacted us directly to talk about it all. We did not plan on making this a huge case here in Scream, the half hour we spoke together the day before she met with the press was more of the private kind, but Tarja wanted us to write a bit about her reactions since she has a relatively good relationship to Norway, and those who have supported Nightwish.
Norway is the country we have felt most welcome in and been taken best care of of all the countries weve been to. I have gotten some really good friends here, and have a lot of good memories from here.
But the others in the band claims that you would rather not go through with the last concert. Isnt that to disappoint your Norwegian fans a lot?
I did notice what kind of explanation they have put out, but honestly, I had no idea about this gig, and had already made other plans. That is one of the problems that where mentioned in the letter. I never got to decide anything of what we were gonna do. I and Marcelo (Tarjas husband) has been kept out of all the planning for the past year, which means that we get to know about upcoming concerts so late that its difficult to make any plans. I know that I would have disappointed many people by cancelling the Norway-gig, but I also disappointed other people by having to cancel my plans with them.
We wont dwell any longer on the Norway-gig, but rather focus on the infamous letter, addressed to Tarja. How did she react to that?
I was naturally enough both shocked and surprised. I was shocked that I was left out there without a chance to defend myself. Thats what stuck as the strongest and most bitter reaction. I could have understood the content of it a lot better if Id been confronted with it face to face, and thereby had a chance to defend myself, and straightened out misunderstandings that lies behind it. I never got that opportunity, and that really hurts me. I didnt think I deserved such treatment after all of these years.
And are you going to get back with the others by giving just as strong accusations?
No, I am not gonna make this a dirty laundry wash. I chose on purpose not to talk in the period after this event, mostly because I was worried Id say something Id regret. At the same time I wanted it to calm down a bit. And I needed some time to realize what had happened.
Do you feel betrayed by the guys or can you relate to some of their sayings of you betraying them?
Once more, I do register what theyve been saying. Maybe I did fail them, but then I have not even been realizing it. In a band a lot depends on sticking together. Right after Wishmaster came out the band had a huge crisis. Tuomas wanted to split up the band, God knows why, but he was really far out, mentally speaking. Then we felt that he was failing us, but we chose to support him and help out as much as we could, and Tuomas did get through it. Back then there was no way wed let such a thing just pass. Now the others are referring to this as a crisis, but none of them has mentioned it to me with a single word. If they had wanted to keep me in the band they would have told me, so that we could find a solution together. And if they had, after that, said that it wouldnt work out, it would have been a fair way to end it.
Is it Tuomas you are most bitter towards?
Tuomas and I have been friends since we were 10-12 years old, but something happened after the Wishmaster-episode. As his perhaps best friend I was there for him, but I never received as much as a Thanks. And after that he has never been the same person. We drifted more and more apart, and what he describes in the letter is just as much his fault as mine. Thinking of the fact that were not a band anymore.
Have you spoken to any of the guys after the letter was made public?
Marco and Emppu have called me. But no word from either Tuomas, nor Jukka.
Are you surpised that you havent heard from the two latter?
No, not really.
Would you consider contacting them?
No, if they dont have the guts to confront me it can just stay as it is..
Can you rule out here and now that youll ever do anything with Nightwish in the future?
I wont rule out anything, but it would take quite a lot for it to happen. I dont wish to be left bitter and abandoned, but I feel betrayed, and my self esteem has been really damaged.
Is that the worst part about this?
Yes, and the fact that I never got to say goodbye to the fantastic audience we have all over the world. They propably feel cut off, and so do I.
Tarja and Nightwish are now history, and the band are in these days searching for a new singer, with many of Tarjas qualities. There wont be any dramatic changes around Nightwishs style in other words. But the question is, what can we expect from Tarja in the future?
Now I all of a sudden have a lot more time on my hands. I am going to do some solo-shows in the occation of Christmas, and during the winter Ill work a bit with writing songs to my solo album. I wasnt gonna release one until after the next Nightwish album, but now it looks like Im gonna try to record one during next year.
What kind of music can we expect?
I know what I want, and its not gonna sound like Nightwish. But it will have certain Nightwish-elements in it, since Ive grown more and more fond of that kind of music during the past years. So, yeah, there will be some metal influences on the album, but the songs will mostly be built up around my voice, so well see how it turns out.

Southern Cape water restrictions warning:
"To this day it has not been done and this borders on a punishable offence. Despite harsh words between representatives of the Department of Water Affairs and municipal officials, nothing has been done," he said.
The incomplete Nooitgedacht Low Level Water Scheme – a project several years in the making aimed at bolstering the metro's water supply – put further pressure on the Kouga Dam, said Joubert. Reports last year state that the project, which was initially touted for completion in 2013, would be completed in 2017.
Joubert said a survey conducted by GIB a few years ago had revealed that 10 000 employment opportunities are created in the Gamtoos Valley when farmers relying on irrigation receive their full allocated water quota.
"With every 10% reduction in the water quota, a thousand job opportunities are lost," he warned, adding that the metro had not been applying responsible water management.
"Their internal losses are unacceptably high. Apparently, they do not have enough money to maintain it or to give urgent attention to water leaks that are reported. It is time that the municipality get their priorities in order and deploy their resources more effectively, seeing that it has a direct impact on job creation and the economy in the Gamtoos Valley," said Joubert.
Joubert warned that if the level of the Kouga Dam dropped to the point where water restrictions had to be implemented and it could be proved that irrigation farmers were suffering financial losses as a result, his council would not hesitate to institute claims against the metro. The rate at which restrictions are implemented is decided by the board.
The water system in the Gamtoos is designed in such a way that the dam at Loerie serves as a balancing dam, which must always have water in it. It is from this dam that water is being rerouted to the metro.
"Although the metro already used up its full quota between last July and February this year, they have nevertheless continued to withdraw water from the [Loerie] dam," said Joubert.
Joubert said the possibility of a monthly rather than an annual quota for the metro was currently being investigated.
In 1991, irrigation farmers in the Gamtoos Valley had a choice to either remain under the State Water Scheme (Water Act, 1956) or establish an irrigation board. They opted for the latter. Although the infrastructure (Kouga Dam and canals) still belongs to the State, the newly established Gamtoos Irrigation Board took over the maintenance and running of the scheme.
In retrospect, this was a wise decision. By keeping the canal system in good condition, the GIB has ensured that agriculture in the Gamtoos Valley could proceed undisturbed for the past 25 years and not be derailed by unnecessary leaks in the system.
Joubert explained that although his council did not have a say in the quotas for consumers, recommendations had been made to the Minister of Water Affairs, who would make the final decision. The responsibility for how the matter with the metro would be addressed therefore lay with the Department of Water Affairs, he said.

MySQL Database Import – Recovery Methods
There are two simple ways in MySQL to load data into MySQL database from a previously backed up file.
Importing Data with LOAD DATA:
MySQL provides a LOAD DATA statement that acts as a bulk data loader. Here's an example statement that reads a file dump.txt from your current directory and loads it into the table mytbl in the current database:
mysql> LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'dump.txt' INTO TABLE mytbl;
- If the LOCAL keyword is not present, MySQL looks for the datafile on the server host using looking into absolute pathname fully specifies the location of the file, beginning from the root of the filesystem. MySQL reads the file from the given location.
- By default, LOAD DATA assumes that datafiles contain lines that are terminated by linefeeds (newlines) and that data values within a line are separated by tabs.
- To specify a file format explicitly, use a FIELDS clause to describe the characteristics of fields within a line, and a LINES clause to specify the line-ending sequence. The following LOAD DATA statement specifies that the datafile contains values separated by colons and lines terminated by carriage returns and new line character:
mysql> LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'dump.txt' INTO TABLE mytbl
-> LINES TERMINATED BY 'rn';
- LOAD DATA assumes the columns in the datafile have the same order as the columns in the table. If that's not true, you can specify a list to indicate which table columns the datafile columns should be loaded into. Suppose your table has columns a, b, and c, but successive columns in the datafile correspond to columns b, c, and a. You can load the file like this:
mysql> LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'dump.txt'
-> INTO TABLE mytbl (b, c, a);
Importing Data with mysqlimport
MySQL also includes a utility program named mysqlimport that acts as a wrapper around LOAD DATA so that you can load input files directly from the command line.
To load a data from dump.txt into mytbl, use following command at UNIX prompt.
$ mysqlimport -u root -p --local database_name dump.txt
password *****
If you use mysqlimport, command-line options provide the format specifiers. mysqlimport commands that correspond to the preceding two LOAD DATA statements look like this:
$ mysqlimport -u root -p --local --fields-terminated-by=":"
--lines-terminated-by="rn" database_name dump.txt
password *****
The order in which you specify the options doesn't matter for mysqlimport, except that they should all precede the database name.
The mysqlimport statement uses the –columns option to specify the column order:
$ mysqlimport -u root -p --local --columns=b,c,a
database_name dump.txt
password *****
Handling Quotes and Special Characters:
The FIELDS clause can specify other format options besides TERMINATED BY. By default, LOAD DATA assumes that values are unquoted and interprets the backslash () as an escape character for special characters. To indicate the value quoting character explicitly, use ENCLOSED BY; MySQL will strip that character from the ends of data values during input processing. To change the default escape character, use ESCAPED BY.
When you specify ENCLOSED BY to indicate that quote characters should be stripped from data values, it's possible to include the quote character literally within data values by doubling it or by preceding it with the escape character. For example, if the quote and escape characters are " and , the input value "a""b"c" will be interpreted as a"b"c.
For mysqlimport, the corresponding command-line options for specifying quote and escape values are –fields-enclosed-by and –fields-escaped-by.

Time sure does pass, and I'm glad you've been enjoying your days, Susie. What an amazing gift you are giving your cousin…you are an inspiration!!
"My ideas about time all developed from the realization that if nothing were to change we could not say that time passes. Change is primary, time, if it exists are all, is something we deduce from it." Julian Barbour
I can't believe it's been three weeks since I have published anything! Time does pass quickly, and as I do not write, I am ever more aware of the ticking of the clock and the passage of time. Life is so short and I want to extract every moment that I can from it! I am sorry that I haven't written but I am also happy that I have enjoyed these few weeks of summer to their fullest!
As time, and especially this month, continues to roll on, I grow even more aware of time. On August 4, I am happy to say that I will be donating my right kidney to my cousin, Shelby. We are planning a fundraiser at the studio this Saturday – 108 Sun Salutations to be exact. Before the day of surgery, my husband and I are going on vacation out west and will be enjoying Cheyenne Frontier Days. It's all so exciting but I know that time will surely pass just as it has and will continue to do. I want to make the most of every day that I am given.
To live life fully, I believe that we each need to find a newness in the day, a task, a new challenge, a way to touch someone else's life positively. We need to learn, to grow, to push ourselves, to enjoy, to share, to love, to dream and to also be reflective and quiet at times.
How will you make the most of your days, which ultimately define and become your life? For your pleasure, please watch the above video of a 96 year old dancer and world's oldest yoga instructor. If you are ever lacking for zest and love of life, you need look no further than this inspiring lady. She will amaze you and will leave you with the realization that you, too, can be in love with life and as time passes, you can still stay completely in love with and in awe of your life!
Thank you Elysha! I like to believe that each of us would do the same for our own families when they are in need and we can provide. I feel it's a privilege to be able to share something with her as wonderful as a new lease on life and an opportunity for her, a young woman, to grow into adulthood and to live and love in the ways that only youth allows. I am blessed to be in a position where I can share with her something of the twenty extra years that I have already enjoyed!

Where is God in that?
Before I left for my meeting I was in a total text war with my was-been. It was gross. I acted like I did in my drinking days-mean...really, really, mean. It doesn't matter what he did, or what he said to upset me-not at all...what matters is that I still give him the power to upset me. I have done so much work, I have come so far...to resort to old drinking behavior is really, really upsetting. Had I stopped for even one second and asked myself "Where is God in this?" I could have saved myself from the shame, guilt, and remorse I am feeling right now for behaving like a meanie.
Dear Lord,
Please help me pause, and ask for you for guidance when I am angry, hurt or scared. I love you, Emily

Help Name a Street After Lara Croft
Help Name a Street After Lara Croft
Tomb Raider fans with ten seconds to kill have been given a great opportunity to inflict themselves upon the poor citizens of Derby by voting to christen the U.K. city's new ring road as "Lara Croft Way."
Back in July, the Derby City Council asked for help coming up with names for two new stretches of the city's inner ring road. More than 100 suggestions were made, which were eventually whittled down to a list of eight that's been posted on the City Council website for a final vote. The two top vote-getters will be used to name the new additions to the road.
The great thing about this, at least if you're a Lara Croft aficionado, is that you don't actually have to live in Derby to vote. You don't even have to live in the U.K. Anyone on the internet can cast a ballot and judging from the results so far, it looks like the power of the tubes is going to carry the day. "Lara Croft Way" already holds a commanding lead with 81 percent of the vote; in second place is "Steve Bloomer Way," with five percent. (To put it in another perspective, Lara has received 268 votes at the time of writing, while Second-Place Steve has 17.)
There is actually a legitimate connection between Lara Croft and Derby: Core Design, the studio behind the original Tomb Raider, was based in Derby before it went under in 2006. And that, as the saying goes, is good enough for the girls I go with. Cast your vote for Lara at derby.gov.uk.
Source: Derby Telegraph, via Joystiq
I'm voting
Given Derby's road system, any bloody street signs would be an improvement :)
However, here's the results so far
Eagle Way (15)
Sure, why not?
Though I would have preferred "Big Breasts Road."
Question goes, why would I want to do that?
A statue I could understand... She is an iconic, and quite eye pleasing character... But to name a street after her? She is as likable as sand in your underwear and the quality of her videogames has gone all but downhill...
Lara Croft? You mean that girl who likes to undress herself within every oppurtunity of going on Deviantart?
Meh, she has my vote.
How do you vote exactly?
Oh, something else to name after Stephen Colbert.
That's too funny. I'm voting for Lara though.
Same! That, is, awesome!
I voted, but it was quite useless. She already has 80% of nearly 900 votes.
Jesus Christ, it's a whitewash. 90%... wow, congrats guys, we just proved our right to godhood!
Lara Croft Way...
That sounds oddly dirty.
You mean "I'm just off down Lara Croft Way"? Nah...can't see that happening.
It's pretty safe to say she'll be coming out on top, no pun intended. 92% right now...
This makes me feel all patriotic
Land of hope and glory...
Eagle Way (22)
So yes, i voted :D this is awesome, no way that lara croft won't win
there is no way this Isn't going to happen now. unless they decide that I won't.
I live in derby, and walk or drive past where they are building this nearly everyday, please for gods sake vote, thats awesome!!
EDIT: I think Lara Croft was first thought up by someone from Derby, so it would be fitting anyway
93% with 1310 votes now. Let's see if we can get it to 95.
What a pile of horseshit! I can't believe there are that many Britons with this kind of free time on thier hands.
93% with 2090 votes as of writing. At the moment 2nd place (remember the top two will have roads named after them) is "Merlin way". Thanks Internet!
Upon reading this article I had a flash of Eddie Murphy in my head, making fun of drunk white people voting for Jesse Jackson.
It seemed fitting.
"Let's all vote for Lara Croft..."
"Hee hee" *cha-chink* "I just voted for Lara Croft..."
(The next day)
Eagle Way (75)
I voted Lara, by the way.

If you occasionally host dinner parties in the garden, like I do, you'll want garden lighting that enables guests to find out what they're eating. To begin with, consider why it is you are lighting the garden. It's very hard wearing and, though it won't last forever (nothing does in the garden anyway), it is going to endure for a couple of years and thus it is perfect for our requirements.
Modern outdoor lighting options Suited for countless spaces, outdoor lighting comes in various configurations that may be customized to satisfy the requirements of an undertaking. Along with being energy efficient, solar lighting demands no cords or plugs, making them well suited for landscape lighting. The very first step in planning your outdoor exterior lighting is to earn a very simple scale drawing of your house grounds and landscape.
Well lights are offered in both standard and very low voltage, plastic and assorted metals, and can frequently be installed with a grill to better hide and guard the lamp. The lights also offer the balcony a fine glow at night. If you are searching for plenty of light, ensure the bulb is facing out, not towards the wall. Thus, don't lighten the entire base of the sphere just because' but rather think of where the light is and the way it's bouncing. LED lights can be quite helpful for lighting your garden. You should utilize LED lights if you don't have an extremely large garden or intensive project in mind. LED Ledvv lights are astoundingly versatile and are used for different jobs and can be located in all kinds of devices.

Shooting the Adelaide players this weekend, many of the players seemed to be in good moods and were very conscious of me being there, with players such as Josh Cakebread, Jeremy Cresswell and import Ji-Man Choi hamming it up for the camera. In addition, both Chris Adamson and Darren Fidge came over and had several minute chats with me. Well done guys! I came out with a very positive view of the club and it's players - friendly, fan-savvy, approachable and positive. Thanks for providing a positive experience with your club. I'm looking forward to getting some of my 2012-13 Adelaide Bite cards up soon.

You can see by this website that we offer programs from keynotes to workshops to retreats to consultations. Each is specifically designed to reflect back to you who you are and what you have. Each is dedicated to inspiring you to reclaim your human nature by recognizing your birthright as a being of the natural world. This is more than a feel-good experience. It's both absolutely practical and urgently relevant. To your wellbeing, to the wellbeing of your loved ones and community, and to the wellbeing of our planet.
The only way we know we've succeeded is through you. We're only as inspiring as you are.
This is not to put pressure. In fact, that would be in direct contradiction to the 8 INSTRUCTIONS. It would be the opposite of Full Ecology. Likely you underestimate the inspiration you are for people who cross your path. As you consider your own Full Ecology, as you pay attention within and without, your natural action in the world will follow. You, by nature, already live in concert with many of the 8 INSTRUCTIONS. By nature, you are built to inspire as much as the eagle on the wing, or the sprout breaking through its topsoil.
But, don't believe us. Check it out for yourself.

The Dividend Aristocrats are a group of 57 companies in the S&P 500 Index, with 25+ consecutive years of dividend increases.
We review each of the 57 Dividend Aristocrats every year. The next stock to be reviewed in this year's edition is AbbVie (ABBV).
AbbVie is coming off a multi-year period of excellent growth, thanks to the massive success of its flagship product Humira. There are questions regarding the company's future growth due to increasing competition to Humira in the U.S. and Europe, but the company has a plan to continue its impressive growth.
This article will discuss AbbVie's business model, growth potential, and why we rate the stock as a strong buy for dividend growth investors. Before reading this article, you may want to review AbbVie's fundamentals, which are charted below:
Payment Schedule
Dividend Yield
Business Overview
AbbVie is a global pharmaceutical giant. It has a $119 billion market capitalization, and sells its products in more than 170 countries across the world. AbbVie began trading as an independent company in 2013, after it was spun off from fellow pharmaceutical Dividend Aristocrat, Abbott Laboratories (ABT).
Today, AbbVie focuses on one main business segment—pharmaceuticals. It focuses on a few key treatment areas, including immunology, oncology, and women's health.
The company has seen excellent growth since it was spun off from Abbott. AbbVie now generates annual revenue of nearly $33 billion.
Source: Investor Presentation
Since the spin-off from Abbott, AbbVie has produced 12% annual revenue growth and over 20% annual earnings growth. Humira has been the major reason for AbbVie's huge growth. Humira is a multi-purpose drug, and is the top-selling drug in the world.
AbbVie reported its fourth quarter and full year earnings results in late January (1/25/19). The company was able to generate revenues of $8.3 billion during the fourth quarter, which was 7.4% more than AbbVie's revenues during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017.
AbbVie's revenue growth was primarily driven by strong growth from Imbruvica, which grossed sales of $1.0 billion, which was 42% more than the drug's sales during the previous year's quarter.
Humira remained the world's best-selling drug, and AbbVie's most important drug by far, but its growth rate slowed down to just 0.5%. Humira seems to be in a slow-to-no growth stage, but the drug will remain AbbVie's most important cash cow over the coming years.
AbbVie earned $1.90 per share during the fourth quarter, which was 28% more than the company's earnings-per-share during the fourth quarter of the previous year.
Both AbbVie's revenues as well as its earnings-per-share were slightly lower than what the analyst community forecasted, which led to a 6% share price decline on the day of the earnings release. AbbVie generated earnings-per-share of $7.91 during fiscal 2018, which was 41% more than AbbVie's earnings-per-share during fiscal 2017.
Along with the fourth quarter earnings release, AbbVie management announced that the company sees earnings-per-share falling into a range of $8.65 to $8.75 during fiscal 2019.
Growth Prospects
The major risk for global pharmaceutical manufacturers is patent loss. When a particular drug loses patent, the market is typically flooded with competition, especially for the world's top-selling products. Investors can see what happened to Pfizer (PFE) after Lipitor lost patent protection as an example of the impact of patent risk.
For AbbVie, its biggest risk is the competition about to hit its flagship drug Humira, a multi-purpose drug that is used to treat a variety of conditions. Some of these include rheumatoid arthritis, plaque psoriasis, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and more.
Humira generated over $19 billion in sales last year for AbbVie, meaning loss of exclusivity poses a significant risk for the company going forward.
Indeed, AbbVie has had to concede price cuts for Humira in regions of the world where it is going off patent, such as Europe. On last quarter's conference call with analysts, AbbVie CEO Rick Gonzalez acknowledged that discounting in Europe has been "on the higher end" of what the company had expected, with Humira prices being slashed from 10%-80% depending on the country.
In addition, AbbVie will face biosimilar competition to Humira in the U.S. starting in 2023. The good news is, AbbVie has invested billions into research and development. As a result, the company has a large portfolio of new products that should offset any sales declines from the competitive threats to Humira.
Its two biggest areas of growth going forward will be hematologic oncology, and next-generation immunology. AbbVie's oncology business is currently a $4 billion-a-year franchise, with potential to reach $9 billion in sales by 2025.
Meanwhile, AbbVie expects its immunology portfolio to generate sales of over $10 billion by 2025.
Source: Investor Presentation
AbbVie has reached six settlements related to Humira competitors. All licenses agreed to thus far will begin in 2023, led by Amgen (AMGN) in January that year. Fortunately, AbbVie has prepared for this increasing competition to Humira, by investing heavily in new product development.
This investment is about to pay off—sales from products other than Humira cumulatively totaled nearly $10 billion last year. The company expects to launch 20 new products or indications by 2020. AbbVie expects non-Humira product sales to exceed $16 billion by 2020, and $35 billion by 2025.
Share buybacks will also add to AbbVie's future earnings growth. Since the company is highly profitable and generates significant free cash flow, it can afford to invest in growth and also return cash to shareholders. On December 13th AbbVie announced a new $5 billion share repurchase authorization.
Continued buybacks help boost earnings. As shares are repurchased and retired, each remaining share receives a higher percentage of the company's profits, thus increasing earnings-per-share.
Combined, these growth catalysts are expected to result in 9%-10% adjusted earnings growth each year over the next five years.
Competitive Advantages & Recession Performance
The most important competitive advantage for AbbVie, and any pharmaceutical company, is its patent portfolio. Pharmaceutical giants need to spend heavily to innovate new drugs and therapies, when one of their blockbusters loses patent protection.
To build its pipeline and to prepare for the decline of Humira, AbbVie has accelerated research and development spending. AbbVie spent nearly $5 billion on R&D last year alone.
Fortunately, this spending is starting to show positive results, as AbbVie has a robust pipeline.
Source: Strategic Update
It is unclear how AbbVie itself performed during the Great Recession, as it was still part of Abbott Laboratories. However, it stands to reason the company would hold up fairly well during the next recession.
Prescription drugs and medical supplies are necessities, with stable demand. Consumers often cannot choose to go without healthcare, even when the economy is in a downturn. As a result, investors can reasonably assume AbbVie's profits would experience a modest decline during a recession.
Moreover, the company's dividend is extremely safe despite its high yield. We examine AbbVie's dividend safety in the following video:
Valuation & Expected Returns
AbbVie is expected to generate adjusted EPS of $8.70 for 2019. At the midpoint of AbbVie's earnings guidance, the stock is currently trading for a price-to-earnings ratio of 9.2.
AbbVie is valued considerably below the S&P 500 Index, which has an average price-to-earnings ratio well above 20. In addition, AbbVie is undervalued today when compared to its historical average.
Since the spin-off from Abbott, AbbVie has held an average price-to-earnings ratio of 13.8.
It could be argued AbbVie deserves a significantly higher valuation than it currently holds, given its high-quality business and strong growth prospects. Even with the competition facing Humira, AbbVie stock looks undervalued, as the company can still generate growth from its new product portfolio.
As a result, we view AbbVie stock as considerably undervalued. If the P/E ratio expands to our fair value estimate of 13.0, it would increase annual shareholder returns by approximately 7.2%.
In addition, shareholder returns will be boosted by earnings growth and dividends. We expect AbbVie to generate 9%-10% annual EPS growth over the next five years, consisting mostly of revenue growth and share repurchases.
Lastly, AbbVie stock offers a current dividend yield of 5.4%. This is a very high yield, at more than double the average dividend yield of the S&P 500 Index.
In all, AbbVie's total expected returns could exceed 22% per year through 2024. This is a very attractive potential rate of return, which makes AbbVie one of our highest-conviction buy recommendations.
Final Thoughts
AbbVie is a very high-quality business, with a strong pharmaceutical pipeline and growth potential. It is also a shareholder-friendly company that returns excess cash flow to investors through stock buybacks and dividends.
AbbVie, as with all pharmaceutical companies, faces a significant challenge in replacing lost Humira sales as it faces competition in the U.S. and Europe. Fortunately, the company has prepared for this with heavy R&D investments. From this, it has created a large portfolio of new products that should keep AbbVie's growth intact.
With expected returns above 22% per year going forward, AbbVie is an excellent buy for long-term value and income investors.

How can employers play a greater role in supporting the mental health of their employees?
Events like Mental Health Awareness week are helping more people to broach the subject of mental health. But we still live in a world where people face challenges getting the help they need.
Work is a big part of most adults' lives – and therefore the workplace is a key setting for understanding and addressing the problem.
Many workers are still reluctant to talk about their mental wellbeing. For instance, 45% of employees who take time off work due to their mental health give another reason for their absence.1 There may, therefore, be a greater need for employers to appreciate how to manage mental ill health sensitively. This requires taking a different approach than they might with other forms of illness.
When employers create workplace cultures where people can be themselves, it is easier for people to speak about mental health concerns without fear. If companies can also offer support through their employee benefits packages, it is likely that mental health problems will be dealt with before they become more severe. This could cut down on suffering as well as save money in treatment costs and absenteeism.
As part of their cover, many 'employee assistance programmes' (EAPs) offer cognitive behavioural therapy or counselling to support psychological wellbeing. These programmes can provide invaluable support to those with one or several issues, whether those relate to work, legal matters, relationships, money or health. Moreover, proactive and preventative services provided through EAPs have been shown to be highly effective. Employee benefits provider Unum says that counselling provided through its programme improves mental health for 92% of its users.2
Deloitte calculates that the return on investment in workplace mental health intervention averages £4.20 for every £1 spent.3
Offering this kind of support should be combined with providing managers, and employees themselves, with the skills and autonomy to deal with the causes of stress within their teams, so as to improve employees' health, job satisfaction and productivity. But perhaps the most important insight for employers to recognise is that there is no single solution to the problem. No two employees – or indeed organisations – are the same, and therefore responses need to be tailored to the specific risks and needs of a workforce.
There are several steps employers can take to address the causes and symptoms of stress in the workplace:
- Develop a mental health policy – having a concrete policy reassures employees that their company cares about employee wellbeing.
- Create a culture of openness and awareness by encouraging people to talk about mental health.
Working practices
- Encourage staff to take regular breaks away from their desks and get out of the office to reduce stress.
- Review job descriptions to make sure these set out clear and realistic expectations of staff. If not, this gap might contribute to, or even cause, distress amongst employees.
- Where possible, allow flexible working, and accommodations for all staff to work from home – during a period of stress or worry, coming in to the office could aggravate illness. Give employees the option to work from home if they need to be in more relaxed surroundings.
- Use staff newsletters, posters in communal areas, and other internal communications to raise awareness of mental health.
- Conduct regular staff surveys to take a temperature check on wellbeing and feed back the results and any progress to staff.
- Make sure staff know what support is available through your intranet, noticeboard or employee handbook and find opportunities throughout the year to remind people what is available and how to access it.
- Provide training and resources for managers or a member of your team to empower them to spot the signs of mental ill health. If employees know someone is knowledgeable about mental health matters, they may feel more comfortable in coming forward to discuss any problems they have at work, or even at home.
- Make sure managers spend time with staff and get to know them – this makes it easier to spot when they're struggling or behaving uncharacteristically at work.
Internal support
- Provide accessible guidance on how to manage stress.
- Create a peer-to-peer support system so people can talk with colleagues about their concerns.
- Consider providing an Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) for additional support for staff if they're having difficulties, whether inside or outside the workplace. EAPs can offer a range of services, often including face-to-face counselling or cognitive behavioural therapy.

When a single man has been successful to get that girl in his dreams, most of them believe the process is over and what's remaining is bliss. The reality is the real business begins when the man tries to read your ex? s mind through her actions to a point of being a stalker.
She does not make a maximum eye contact once she's passed by you. You can pat yourself with total satisfaction, all her attention can be geared towards attracting your treatment.
The man literally realizes that, if at all there was clearly a specific way of determining whether or not the girl is upbeat regarding him or not, no-one has given the transmission that body language brings on.
Dont forget that illumination within her eyes. Normally, when a person has some interest in anything you want to include across, the focus carries a way of shifting in a rhythmic fashion and in a characteristic movement from the left with the right eye.
The good thing with the anatomy associated with a woman is that most of the body language has no secret and it will always be selling his or her's game, or just telling a whole lot to those who are looking. That single female might make an effort to relax and cool the whole lot, while incase you recognized what kind of interest to consider; your answers could be addressed within no time at all.
Wooing her is very convenient, but making sure you are hitting high in her ratings is literally what you crave. You want to be aware of from her but there is absolutely no way you can, she is aiming to be indifferent to you so that you don? t read the woman's mind and know if perhaps she hates you previously or she is dying to learn you better. All sole men must know that there is an opportunity of reading her intellect.
The first thing to check the female single can be whether she is trying to get small noticed. You might not have even exchanged any verbal verbal exchanges but the girl has been arrive at by your effect and the girl wants to let you know. Observe the manner her voice is even louder more than usual, sometimes dance and laughing with eagerness, depending on the occasion, as the girl looks towards your direction. She might be cruising because of your table and at the same time for which you realize that she does not have a specific place where she is advancing.
Incase you will play high in the sole girl? s mind, the woman's flicker will be faster, while her glance will briefly fall on your mouth, quite often wondering whether they really have the info nerve to lay his or her's lips on yours.
The single girl doesn't have any control of her eye brows, and are the gateway to help you her full intentions. Look into her as you introduce yourself and check for that momentous raise of the eyebrows. Keep in mind full emotions can solely be expressed truly relating to the face. Any pleasure your lady might feel at get together you is not distinct in whatever way; incase she is happy to have got or see you; the eyebrows tend to flick their full trait upwards, involuntarily.

WASHINGTON (NNS) — Director of the Chief of Naval Operations Energy and Environmental Readiness Division (OPNAV N45), invited the fleet and the general public in February to submit their ideas to improve how the Navy uses and thinks about energy.
In a follow-up Navy Live blog entry posted April 17, Rear Adm. Kevin Slates highlighted several of the more than 50 innovative ideas received from the Navy community, industry and the general public.
The ideas ranged from simple personal acts, such as turning off computers and lights at the end of the day, to more complex approaches such as having "tiger" teams evaluate recently installed energy efficient technologies to ensure they work as advertised. Other ideas included replacing thick manuals aboard ships with tablet devices, and adding hydropower capture technologies to existing water distribution systems to create electricity.
Reducing the Navy's energy use and footprint improves combat capability and aligns with Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus' five aggressive energy goals. In pursuit of those goals, the Navy has been working to increase the use of energy-wise technologies and processes ashore and at sea, explore advanced biofuel blends as drop-in replacements for petroleum, incorporate energy considerations in the acquisition process and increase energy awareness among Navy personnel.
"Technology is certainly a piece of the puzzle for becoming a highly energy efficient warfighting force-but we'll never solve that puzzle without changing our energy culture," said Vice Adm. Phil Cullom, Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Fleet Readiness and Logistics (N4). "This crowdsourcing effort can help get creative, culture-bending energy ideas quickly from the deck plate Sailor and outside partners to the right decision makers, and that's what we need."

Everything goes right for Buckeyes in rout
COLUMBUS — Curtis Samuel had 178 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns, including a 75-yard touchdown reception on Ohio State's first play of the second half, and the sixth-ranked Buckeyes dominated No. 9 Nebraska 62-3 on Saturday night.
After three straight weeks of close games and inconsistent offense, the Buckeyes (8-1, 5-1 Big Ten) put forth their best performance of the season, led 31-3 at the half and handed the Cornhuskers (7-2, 4-2 Big Ten) their most lopsided loss since 2004.
"I didn't see this one coming," Ohio State coach Urban Meyer said.
Damon Webb got it started with a 36-yard interception return for a touchdown on Nebraska's first drive of the game. J.T. Barrett led three long touchdown drives, including a 15-play, 85-yarder that ended with 1-yard jump TD pass to Samuel with 3 seconds left in the half.
"Everything was clicking. The run game. The pass game," Samuel said. "Everything was going great tonight."
The Cornhuskers were playing as a top-10 team in November for the first time since 2010, but proved to still be a long way from the elites in the Big Ten. Nebraska is still in the Big Ten West race, but a loss to Wisconsin last week means the Huskers will need help.
"That was real bad, and we're all responsible for it, and Ohio State played really well," Nebraska coach Mike Riley said.
Nebraska lost quarterback Tommy Armstrong to a scary head injury in the second quarter, when the senior slammed the side of his helmet on the turf after being knocked out of bounds. Armstrong was taken from the stadium in an ambulance, but returned to the sideline in sweats in the third quarter.
Riley said it was too early to determine Armstrong's status for next week.
Nebraska: The Cornhuskers rode a fairly easy first-half schedule into the top 10 and gave their fans some hope that maybe they could be in the mix for a College Football Playoff spot down the stretch. Not happening. The loss was the Huskers' most lopsided since a 70-10 beating by Texas Tech in 2004. Year Two under Riley for the Huskers represents a step forward, not a giant leap.
"The game came out of the blue to me," Riley said.
Ohio State: Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer has answered so many questions about getting the ball to Samuel more often over the last few weeks that he was laughing about them during the week leading up to Nebraska. Whether it was by design or not, Samuel had his best game since the opener against Bowling Green.
Nebraska: The Huskers are likely to plummet when the new AP rankings come out Sunday and the playoff rankings are updated Tuesday.
Ohio State: The Buckeyes were impressive enough to at least consider having them jump ahead of undefeated Washington in both the AP and playoff rankings.
Nebraska: The Cornhuskers return home to play Minnesota, which is tied atop the West standings with Nebraska and Wisconsin.
Ohio State: The Buckeyes face Maryland in the first of two straight away from Ohio Stadium. Ohio State's next home game is Nov. 26 against No. 2 Michigan.

March Sale Report- another roaring success
Posted in: News on March 28, 2017.
Dawson's Auctioneers third sale on the 25th of March was another roaring success. Once again the saleroom was busy from 8:30 am (on a Saturday, which says a lot!) with much online and telephone interest during the days preceding. Of particular note amongst the some 600 lots were the silver, Asian art, and painting departments, all three making up the majority of the twenty five top hammer prices.
A beautiful James II silver tazza was keenly contested, going for £2700, closely followed by a George II silver cruet set by Samuel Wood for £2400. A George II silver chocolate/coffee pot by Paul Crispin and a George III silver cake basket both sold for £900. We never knew how much we needed a cake basket till this came into the sale. Who wants to consign the next one?
On the fine art front, an unusual Mary Feddon oil on canvas of a vase of flowers garnered much pre-sale interest, and, with a flurry of telephone, commission and online bids, sold for £1900. A number of 18th and 19th ancestral portraits were also very successful, selling well above their estimates with a 19th century French School pair in oval frames going for £1600. Lots of new additions to the Maidenhead family tree!
Our April sale also evidenced the hugely thriving Asian art market. A note to all of you who have that unloved Chinese vase on your shelf, consignment for our April auction is open till the 7th April…! A wonderful bound folio of 19th century multi-figure watercolours on rice paper sold for £1450. Ceramic-wise, a collection of Chinese tea bowls sold for £900, along with a dragon-handled ornately decorated Chinese vase for the same price. Another top selling ceramic was a small L.E.F. Bodart Delft glazed ceramic vase, selling for £2000.
The ever popular George Jensen did well in the sale. Gold and diamonds also flew out of the room making space for a very high quality number of items to come in the next sale- our jewellery department is very excited, watch this space!
Dawson's will hold an antiques and collectable sale once a month, and six specialist auctions a year. They are open on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10am until 5pm for drop in valuations, otherwise by appointment. The next sale of Fine Art & Antiques will be on Saturday 22nd of April at 10am. Viewings will be held on the Thursday and Friday prior. For more information please contact us. Entries are currently being accepted for all sales.

Finding fungi on the tree of life
What are the characteristics of fungi?
Differences between fungi and plants
Differences between fungi and bacteria
The different types of fungi
What are some uses of fungi?
What are some fungal diseases?
Classifying fungi on the tree of life
Like animals and plants, fungi are in the eukaryote domain.
Look closely at this cladogram (history of evolution shown in a tree form)
Fungi are more closely related to animals than to plants! So what does this mean?
Characteristics of fungi
Like animals, fungi are
* eukaryotic – cells have organelles, each with their own job
* multicellular = made of many cells attached together (except yeast)
* heterotrophs – they can't make their own food (like plants do.) Instead, like animals, they need to (somehow) obtain food
Unlike animals, fungi are different from animals in some ways:
* fungi have cell walls & cell cell membranes. (Animals only have membranes)
* fungi have no sense organs
* fungi can't ingest/eat food: they have to absorb it.
* fungi can't move
Difference between fungi and plants
Once upon a time mushrooms were thought to be plants.
But they are really a separate kingdom of life that wouldn't be understood until the 1800's.
Unlike plants, fungi have no chlorophyll.
Therefore they can't perform photosynthesis
Differences between fungi and bacteria
Types of fungi
Yeasts – single-celled organisms
molds – long branching thread-like filaments (hyphae) that form visible colonies.
Mushrooms – filamentous fungi that form large "mushroom cap".
What are some uses of fungi?
yeast for baking
The chemistry of bread baking: Compound interest
yeast for brewing beer or fermenting wine
outdoor yeasts for naturally fermenting coffee beans
outdoor yeasts for naturally fermenting cacao (chocolate) beans
Some mold-like fungi are edible and healthy, and can be used to make vegetarian food, such as Quorn.
What are some fungal diseases?
Athlete's foot
Candidiasis – can occur in the mouth and throat, vagina, or the bloodstream.
Fungal nail infections
Ringworm – a fungal skin infection
yeast infections (sinuses, or any other body cavities)

I have long been in love with these Magnolia stamps, but could never find them in the US until now. I've only got a couple so far, but you can bet I'll be adding to my collection. They remind me so much of my sister Carissa -- how could I resist? I'm new at this coloring technique (Prismas and Gamsol) but I can tell I'm going to have a lot of fun with it. I've always loved coloring!
This one is for my sister's birthday. I got the sketch from the Magnolia Challenge Blog. This is the one I colored most to look like Carissa. She loved wearing flowers in her hair, and I think it will mean a lot to my sister. The PP is from the My Mind's Eye Magnolia Collection (coincidentally!), the flowers are a sizzix die, and the sentiment stamp is from Stampin Up.
Today was my Grandma's birthday, and tomorrow she is having surgery, so I thought a whole basketful of good wishes might be in order! This pp is from Wild Asparagus, with Cuttlebug embossing. I've also used my favorite new tool, the edge distresser from Heidi Swapp, on the sentiment border. You'll see more of that in the next couple of cards!
This one is for some dear friends in Denmark. "Med kærlig hilsen" basically means "hello with love." This one also uses Wild Asparagus paper. The scalloped oval tag is from the Cricut Alphalicious cartridge, cut at 5". I love how the edge distresser makes the edges of the paper curl up -- with this nice cardstock it looks like fabric!
This last one is for friends of Valerie Hoyle on the Cricut Messageboard, who recently had a baby with some severe problems who won't be with them long (see her post and card request here). This one uses the same Wild Asparagus paper as my grandma's card (just the front instead of the back), and the scalloped edge was created with the Fiskars Threading Water punch. I was really digging the decorative stitching today, can you tell?!
Thanks for looking -- it's so fun to have a place to share my creations!

Just to get you thinking...
You are given two ropes. You are told that it takes 60 minutes from each rope to burn from one end to the other. However, the ropes are neither identical nor uniform - it may take 45 minutes for the rope to burn 1/10th of the length, and 15 minutes for the other 9/10.
How can you time 45 minutes?

Batons are cylindrical objects that are commonly used as a defense weapon. It can be made from several materials like wood, plastic, metal or rubber. They vary in size and length and have a handle that has a strong grip on it. These weapons usually are carried around on a harness or strap and some batons have a leather handle loop attached to it.
Law enforcement officers usually sport batons as it is one of the most common and archaic compliance weapons. Used to block, strike and defend batons are now meant to kill but obviously pack a punch. There are many dynamic design elements that you will see in batons today. Some of them have a rather sleek steely appearance, while some have a rugged rounded appeal. You can even find batons with a sidearm grip with a shorter shaft. Blades and Triggers have a splendid range of batons.

Topic Page: Jalisco
State of Mexico, on the Pacific; area 80,137 sq km/ 30,941 sq mi; population (2014 est) 7,838,000. Its capital is Guadalajara. The state consists of wet, forested coastal lowland, which is separated by the Sierra Madre Occidental from an arid interior plateau. It is an important mining centre and silver, gold, mercury, and copper are mined. Cereals, tobacco, sugar-cane, and cotton are farmed and industries include the manufacture of textiles and cement.
(hälē'skō), state (1990 pop. 5,302,689), 31,152 sq mi (80,684 sq km), W Mexico, bounded on the west by the Pacific. Guadalajara is the capital. Jalisco is dominated by the southern end of the Sierra Madre Occidental and the western extremity of the chain of volcanic mountains extending across central Mexico, including Colima, one of the most active volcanoes in Mexico. The hot, tropical plains of the coast are broken by spurs of the Sierra, and most of the eastern part of the state lies within the central plateau. In the central part of Jalisco is an intermontane basin containing Lake Chapala, Mexico's largest lake; it is drained by the Lerma-Santiago system.
Because of the variety of climate, landform, and elevation, nearly every kind of fruit and vegetable grows somewhere in Jalisco. Corn and wheat from the central plateau make it known as the "granary of Mexico"; rice and wheat are grown in the south; and the mountains yield timber and minerals (especially iron, silver, some gold, and precious stones). The raising of livestock and the production of food products and blue agave for tequila are also important.
Although Jalisco was explored as early as 1522, a serious invasion of the area, later included in Nueva Galicia, was not undertaken until 1529 by Nuño de Guzmán. Shortly before the War of the Reform (1858–61), Jalisco became a leading state in the great liberal revolution heralded by the Plan of Ayutla. It was occupied by the French in the wars of intervention but was recaptured in 1866. In 1884 the territory of Nayarit was separated from Jalisco. There has been significant outmigration from Jalisco to the United States in recent years.

In computer science, Recursion is a situation where a function calls itself within the function body. The motivation for this is to constantly break a problem down into continuously smaller pieces, until a known solution to a piece is reached. Once a piece of the problem is so small that it is trivial to solve without the use of more recursion, the function can then use the trivial solutions to construct a complete solution for the original problem.
Along with pointers and backtracking, recursion is generally one of the most difficult concepts for beginning computer scientists to understand. Unlike pointers - where the theory is relatively simple and the implementation is challenging - recursion is simple to implement yet it is difficult to fully comprehend all the effects of using it. (1)
Requirements for a Recursive Function
One or more base cases
Each base case is a trivial solution to the overall problem (as mentioned above). Again, these are the cases where more recursion is not needed to return a solution.
Typically, these cases have very simple return statements - often with just one variable or constant value - because they handle very trivial situations.
One or more recursive cases
Each recursive case is a situation where a trivial solution still cannot be achieved, so the function uses more recursion in order to achieve a solution. A function must call itself with at least one argument changing in value in order to
Inputs that have mutable values
A recursive function reaches the base case(s) by calling itself with modified values. In general, this tends to be an increase or decrease by some number until a base case dependent on this number is reached. Thus, by definition, the inputs to a recursive function must be modifiable in value in order to achieve a base case. Otherwise, the function will never return and will remain suspended in an endless loop.
The Dangers of Using Recursion
Infinite Recursion
As mentioned above, at least one base case much be reached by the function in order for the function to return. Should no base case(s) be reached, the function will never return. A programmer must take care that these cases can be reached!
Recursive functions tend to have a high big-o complexity and require large amounts of system resources when compared to iterative algorithms (such as sorting). It is not uncommon to see polynomial - O(n^2) - or even factorial - O(n!) - complexity for recursive functions. Furthermore, function calls tend to use stack memory in most higher-level programming language, which is relatively limited. Since recursive functions repeatedly call themselves, they use stack space at an alarming rate and are generally not scale-able.
Thinking Recursively instead of Iteratively
In extremely general terms, it is generally more acceptable to use iteration instead of recursion. There are two major reasons for this:
- Iteration is typically more efficient than recursion in most high-level programming languages, making it execute faster.
- The syntax for iteration is generally simpler than that of recursion (and requires one less function call), making it easier to code.
Using recursion where iteration is more appropriate is, then, counter-productive and should be avoided. When in doubt as to which is more appropriate for a situation, the general rule of thumb is to "use iteration if you can".
All examples are coded in C++.
Factorial Calculation
The computation of factorial numbers, such as 5!, is relatively straightforward to do with a recursive function. This is because for any arbitrary number N, N! = N * (N-1) * (N-2)…
- 2 * 1. Our base case then must be where N = 1, since it is final "ending point" for all factorial calculations.
The following code has been taken from this site, which also contains a more in-depth discussion of recursive functions.
int myFactorial( int integer) { if( integer == 1) return 1; else { return (integer * (myFactorial(integer-1))); } }
Towers of Hanoi
The famous (or perhaps infamous) Towers of Hanoi puzzle is a classic example of recursion in action. In the puzzle, a specified number of disks of varying sizes must be moved between 3 pegs. Once all disks are on the same peg in size order (with largest on the bottom and smallest on the top), the puzzle is considered "complete".
One approach to solve this problem can be found on this site and the recursive function is as follows:
void hanoi(int n, string source, string destination, string help) { if (n == 1) { cout << "Move 1 disk from " << source << " to " << destination << endl; } else { hanoi(n - 1, source, help, destination);
The above function's complexity is exponential, specifically O(2^n - 1). One peg is the initial destination of all the disks ("source"), one is used as the final destination for all the disks in the appropriate order ("destination"), and the final peg is used as a helper to achieve this goal ("help"). The base case is when only 1 disk is on a peg, as it is trivial to transfer it to the destination.
