Human beings have been raising children since human beings began. So while tech advances that make the whole process of turning babies into adults more fun come along occasionally, we hardly tend to think of the industry segments serving families -- companies making strollers, toys, breast pumps, etc. -- as the most innovative ones out there.
But that's a mistake according to a new list compiled by website Fatherly. While we're busy celebrating VC-funded tech firms, a whole host of organizations are quietly doing incredible things to make family life more awesome. Fatherly recently gathered together 20 of the most impressive for a new report honoring the most innovative organizations for parents and kids out there today.
"Loog reinvented how we get kids into music combining a maker experience (the guitar comes unassembled) and tech with an incredible app experience," explains Isaacs.
You'd think it would be pretty hard to innovate the good, old kid's book, but Lost My Name has managed it. The company is "bringing together technology and art to rethink children's book publishing, resulting in beautiful personalized books that have become a go-to gift for kids and parents," according to Isaacs.
Every parents can tell you bottles are fussy -- they're difficult to clean properly, annoying to heat to just the right temperature, and even more of a hassle when you add the whole process of pumping and storing breast milk to the equation.
You end up owning an incredible amount of toys when you have kids. Wouldn't it be nice if they were sustainably made, so all that fun didn't trash the environment for your little ones? Tegu is on the case, leading the toy industry in sustainability practices throughout its supply chain while also creating totally crave-worthy toys.
Small businesses aren't just making everyday life a little easier and more fun for families, they're also helping those with special challenges. Non-profile e-Nable The Future is a leader in this category, connecting 3D printing enthusiasts with kids in need of prosthetics. "It's a smart model for nonprofits supporting kids and families," notes Isaacs.

The Cooperation in International Waters in Africa (CIWA) program assists riparian governments in Sub-Saharan Africa in unlocking the potential for sustainable, climate-resilient growth by addressing constraints to cooperative water resources management and development.
Currently only 58 percent of Africans have access to safe drinking water, less than 5 percent of cultivated land is irrigated, and only 10 percent of hydroelectricity potential is utilized. Compounding those needs, much of Africa is highly vulnerable and under-prepared to cope with the impacts of climate change. By 2020, a projected 75 to 250 million people in Africa will be exposed to increased water stress.
Tapping into Africa's tremendous water resources has the potential to significantly strengthen the region's water security, improve livelihoods, and fuel economic growth. Improved water management can make a critical contribution to achieving food security, reducing vulnerability to climate change, improving human health and sanitation, and increasing energy generation and industrial expansion.
With 90 percent of water in Africa falling within 63 international river basin catchments crossed by multiple borders, water management in the region is inherently an international and cooperative endeavor.
With Africa's growing population and industries, demand for water increases, further complicating the political, institutional, economic, and financial challenges that countries face as they manage and develop their transboundary rivers, lakes, and aquifers. Managing water-related hazards and risks – such as flood and drought – is a central challenge in strengthening African resilience to climate change. The urgency to facilitate cooperation around shared waters in Africa increases as competition for the resource grows and climate change intensifies hydrological variability and unpredictability.
Transboundary management presents both opportunities and challenges – countries working together can often reap greater benefits than working alone, but historical tensions, issues of sovereignty, and difficulty in determining reasonable and equitable use must all be overcome.
CIWA funds a variety of organizations – governments, river basin organizations, regional economic communities, civil society organizations, and African regional or national organizations – to address the constraints of cooperative transboundary water management. Managed by the World Bank, CIWA is uniquely poised to provide neutral third-party facilitation, technical support, and critical analysis to better understand transboundary water issues and inform decisions.
CIWA supported activities – which cut across sectors including energy, agriculture, transportation, social issues, and the environment – assist the World Bank's clients to utilize transboundary resources productively and equitably, protecting people and property from water-related shocks, and ensuring the sustainability of the resource base.
Read more about how CIWA strengthens cooperative water resources management and development (pdf).
CIWA provides three types of support: 1) sustained engagement, 2) short-term opportunistic engagement, and 3) knowledge generation and management.
CIWA provides support to four priority basins: Niger, Nile, Volta, and Zambezi. Through long-term, sustained engagement with priority basins, CIWA enables steady progress towards cooperation by strengthening foundational elements such as data, agreements, institutions, and investment and operation plans.
Niger Basin – CIWA support in the Niger Basin builds the technical, legal, and institutional capacity to plan and implement large scale infrastructure and climate resilience investments.
Nile Basin – CIWA support in the Nile builds on more than a decade of support by the Nile Basin Trust Fund (NBTF). With CIWA's support, Nile countries have strengthened their knowledge base and applied jointly-developed systems for reducing disaster risk and development planning; advanced dialogue on cooperative management and development; grown a network of water resources professionals; and advanced an investment portfolio that encourages strategic cooperation between riparian's and responds to sustainable development needs in the basin, including involvement of stakeholders and civil society organizations.
Volta Basin – In the Volta Basin, CIWA supports institutional strengthening and capacity building of the Volta Basin Authority (VBA) primarily focusing on the Basin's water charter and communication tools, and facilitation of on the ground investments in watershed management.
Zambezi Basin – In the Zambezi Basin, CIWA support assists the Zambezi Watercourse Commission (ZAMCOM) and the Zambezi River Authority (ZRA) to develop robust water information systems, advance prioritized joint infrastructure, and create a Master Plan which prioritizes regionally-relevant investments that build climate resilience and reduce poverty.
Shorter-term, opportunistic CIWA engagements explore potentially high-impact opportunities for propelling cooperation in areas outside CIWA's priority basins through analytical work, capacity building, or technical assistance.
Groundwater Cooperation - The CIWA program is working to help regional bodies in Africa tackle groundwater issues because, much like rivers and lakes, underground aquifers cross national borders. This is important because of the inter-connectivity between water and population movement, and links between surface water and water underground.
Lesotho Highlands - Botswana Water Transfer – The transfer study will investigate potentially transformative development options for the transfer of water from the Lesotho Highlands to Botswana. The study will explore additional transfer options from the Lesotho Highlands and the development of additional, sustainable revenue streams based on renewable water resources for Lesotho, one of the least developed countries in southern Africa. This would help Botswana make a more informed decision with respect to securing water supplies and would consolidate Lesotho's position as the water tower of southern Africa.
Sustainable Groundwater Management in SADC Member States – CIWA support for the Southern African Development Community (SADC) aims to develop the newly established SADC Groundwater Management Institute into a regionally recognized center of excellence, strengthen transboundary and national institutions to improve regional cooperation, and build capacity for sustainable transboundary and national groundwater management in the ministries and departments responsible for groundwater in SADC member states.
Okavango Multi-Sector Investment Opportunities Analysis (MSIOA) – The objective of the Okavango MSIOA is to undertake a multi-sector analysis of proposed investment options in the Cubango-Okavango River Basin and evaluate options to meet the development needs of the riparian countries in such a manner as to safeguard the ecological integrity of the basin, particularly the Okavango Delta, a biodiversity-rich wetland ecosystem with significant social, economic, and ecological value.
Water Resources Management in West Africa - (ECOWAS) – West Africa countries are motivated to support an integrated water resources management approach to water governance and joint management. The Economic Community of West African States' (ECOWAS) Water Resources Coordinating Center is advancing policy and organizational structures on this front. Through a set of technical assistance activities, CIWA support will strengthen the ability of ECOWAS to facilitate, coordinate, and catalyze transboundary water resources management and development in support of food, energy security, and climate-resilient growth in West Africa.
Knowledge management activities strengthen the evidence base for and develop tools that facilitate cooperative development and management of international waters.
Transboundary Cooperation for Climate Resilience - Building resilience to climate change requires effective water management systems, comprising strong information systems, institutions, and infrastructure at local, national, and regional levels. This report documents the relationships between climate change, economic livelihood, and water management across Sub-Saharan Africa to draw attention to the critical role of transboundary water cooperation, and outlines the vital role of cooperation.
Strategic Overview of International Waters in Africa – This study provides a comprehensive compilation of indicators describing the continent's transboundary surface waters, including the socioeconomic, geopolitical, and biophysical aspect of transboundary basins. The analytical report and accompanying database of indicators aim to fill a critical gap in the water resources knowledge base and serve as a comprehensive compilation of information that provides sufficient context about those areas of uncertainty that collectively affect the challenges and opportunities in cooperative water investment.
Economic Rational for Cooperation – A review of the challenges to transboundary water cooperation, pathways for overcoming those challenges, and the role of economics in facilitating the discovery of those pathways.

Six Out of Seven Americans Support Stem-Cell Research
A Wall Street Journal Online NEWS ROUNDUP
Aug. 18, 2004 12:01 am ET
Six out of every seven Americans believe stem-cell research should be allowed -- and stem-cell supporters come from all political parties, according to a new Harris Interactive poll. The figure has jumped from three out of every four Americans who expressed support in a 2001 survey.
Stem cells come from embryos left over from in vitro fertilization that are not used, and are normally destroyed. Many medical researchers want to use them to develop treatments, or to prevent diseases, such as diabetes, Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease.

Dans le domaine des armes à feu, un mécanisme à verrou désigne le mécanisme d'une arme dont la culasse est située sur le canon et dont l'ouverture et la fermeture sont activées manuellement avec une petite poignée, généralement placée à droite. Après le tir, la poignée est manipulée pour ouvrir la culasse, ce qui éjecte la douille et arme le percuteur. À ce moment, une nouvelle cartouche peut être insérée avant d'effectuer l'opération inverse pour refermer le mécanisme.

Les mécanismes à verrou sont la plupart du temps installés sur des fusils, mais il existe également certains fusils de chasse (shotguns) et quelques armes de poing à verrou.

Les mécanismes à verrou sont utilisés dès le début du , notamment sur le fusil à aiguille de Johann Nikolaus von Dreyse, ou le fusil Sharps muni, lui, d'un verrou à bloc tombant. De la fin du  jusqu'à la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, le fusil à verrou est l'arme standard de l'infanterie de la plupart des corps militaires du monde. Comparativement aux autres types de mécanismes, il est robuste, fiable, puissant (par la solidité du chambrage) et permet une bonne précision de tir. Le mécanisme est plus léger et de coût moindre que les mécanismes de chargement automatique et peut être monté et démonté beaucoup plus rapidement en raison de la petite quantité de pièces amovibles. Cependant, il ne permet pas une cadence de tir aussi grande que des mécanismes à levier ou à pompe, et encore moins par rapport aux armes semi-automatiques.

Dans les domaines militaires et policiers, le mécanisme à verrou a été grandement remplacé par des armes aux mécanismes semi-automatiques ou à sélecteur de tir, bien que le mécanisme à verrou demeure dominant dans la conception des fusils de précision. Il demeure également populaire dans les domaines de la chasse et du tir sportif.

Come one, come all! We have a great event lined up this Friday as a part of Fairtrade Fortnight here in Clonakilty. We have two Fairtrade cocoa growers coming to visit from Nicaragua and together we wil be hosting a talk and tasting about how to make chocolate, from tree to bar! It's on at 7pm this Friday 3rd March at the Emmet Hotel Clonakilty. You can purchase your tickets (only 5 euro) here and includes your favorite bar of our chocolate.
This time each year we take two weeks to spend extra time to chat about what we do, and the ethics behind it. We source our beans from Kuapa Kokoo a Fairtrade cooperative in West Africa whose work has enabled many small communities and groups of farmers to develop, both in financial, community and sustainable terms. Schools, water sanitation and new industries are some of the most common tangible impacts of the Fairtrade premium, and empowerment, pride and independence are the impacts that aren't so easily charted. We will be visiting schools in West Cork and hosting small groups to come and have a look in our workshop. If you would like to come and take a sneak peek into our micro-factory, just get in touch.
We're delighted that Claudia, our chief cocoa roaster & winnower, is now making Cocoa Inspired garments around the corner from our chocolate factory! Claudia uses Fairtrade Batik's from the same Fairtrade Cooperatives that we source our beans from in Ghana.
Cocoa Husk (aka Claudia) makes beautiful handmade textiles using Batiks & Hessians inspired by chocolate and West Africa. We import Batik fabrics from 'Global Mamas' a Fairtrade cooperative from the region in Ghana West Africa that we buy our cocoa beans from and then Claudia transforms them into beautiful handmade aprons, meditation cushions, napkins and more in her home studio in Clonakilty.
Alison Roberts is one of that tiny handful of people in Ireland who are changing the world.
Ms Roberts is doing this by revealing to people exactly what chocolate is. Clonakilty Chocolate is showing people that chocolate is a cooking tool, a narcotic, a sublime pleasure, and a tool of good health. In other words, Clonakilty Chocolate is the opposite of what Irish people understand chocolate to be. Being a disrupter like this – a real disrupter – suits Ms Robert's personality, for she is someone who is simply radical: she has radicalism like other people have freckles, or green eyes. And her quest links her to the other great disruptors of Ireland's artisan food culture – the farmhouse cheesemakers, the sourdough bread bakers, the craft brewers, the coffee roasters, the rare breed animal specialists – in that she opens our eyes, she helps us to understand that bean to bar chocolate represents not just a food product, but a civilisation, a history, a culture, a way of thinking.
All that from a bar of chocolate?
Yes. All that, and a narcotic deliciousness that is not to be found in any other food.
Clonakilty Chocolate: they do radical.
Phew! What a wild and wonderful year! We had such a great year we made a Christmas video to share what we've been up to!
Hear ye! Hear ye! If you live in Clonakilty, or fancy popping over for the evening, we're having a community-powered Christmas celebration at Molly's Winebar this Thursday from 8pm for all of our lovely crowdfunders and friends that helped us get to where we are this year! We will be setting up a mini bean-to-bar chocolate factory, making lots of chocolatey treats to share and listening so some appropriate Christmassy tunes!
An RSVP would be great so we can have a rough idea of numbers…. rsvp to [email protected] or 085 757 4338.
Merry Christmas one at all.
We're delighted to announce that we'll be hosting four Christmas workshops this year! Find out more on our workshop page.
We will also be offering early bird prices again this year for our great selection of Christmas goodies, 10% off all orders placed on Christmas items via the website between November 8th & December 8th so check back and don't miss out! We'll have Sloe Gin Truffles, Christmas Mendiants, Santas and more ready to post worldwide!
CorkBilly.com - Taste of the Week!
CAPTION – One of the bonuses of visiting Clonakilty recently for A Taste of West Cork was the chance to meet chocolatier Allison Roberts at the tasting event in Spiller's Lane. She was one of the local producers showing their wares and I stocked up on her chocolate bars, including the So Milky Milk bar, our Taste of the Week.
Last Bean-to-Bar workshop of 2015 this Saturday!
To celebrate the summer and our favorite festival (The Old Time Fair) we are hosting another chocolately event for any and all chocolate lovers to enjoy. On Saturday July 4th Clonakilty will be teeming with great things to see and do from the Olden Days, we will have our regular spot at the farmers market 12-5, and then at 5pm we will be hosting Clonakilty's First Ever Chocolate Salon & Gramophone Ball! Don't forget to dress in your oldest & finest!


Holiday traditions are my favorite part of the season. There are small ones, simple ones, and some we don't even realize are traditions until someone has passed. Our popcorn ball tradition started with my Grandpa Wolfe, he made them every year, and we looked forward to our box of popcorn balls arriving every holiday season, it just was not Christmas until we got that special box from Grandpa Wolfe! After his passing my Dad decided to take on the tradition and keep it alive. The men vowed to do it all on their own, so the women in the family are banished from the kitchen and not allowed to help. Being banished works for us since its seriously messy and funny to watch them do this. However, this year, many of the boys were not able to help, so the tradition came to my kitchen. I merely did as they told me to do, and helped for the first time ever with the popcorn balls. It was so much fun!! I had the best time, we popped the corn in batches as we created the sugary mix to hold them together, timing is everything I tell ya! I am not sure which part was my favorite, but simply watching my nephew have fun with his Grandpa was probably the best. However, smearing butter all over my hands and making a huge sticky mess to shape the popcorn balls was fun too. This year the boys decided they had the best colors they've ever done, and I must say the purple and yellow came out awesome! Maybe next year I will get lucky and they will invite me again. :) I only have a few shots since I am without a camera right now, but you get the idea! Another tradition we enjoy is my Aunt Linda's fudge, which arrived here at the shop this week, now, with the tree up, the popcorn balls sent, the fudge has arrived, and family is close, it's finally starting to feel like Christmas! Enjoy your Christmas and Holiday traditions this year, keep your loved ones close. Peace and love to everyone!

In 1977, Ryan Haack was born missing his left forearm and it wasn't until just a few years ago, he realized there were other people just like him out there in the world. He decided to start a blog with the hopes of sharing his experiences and helping others in the same situations.
Now, besides his very successful blog – he ran a successful Kckstarter campaign to create a children's book titled "Different Is Awesome" and has a wonderful Youtube channel where he makes various instruction videos to teach people how to do things one handed! You can also check out his facebook page and a twitter account!
We are excited to finally get to meet Ryan next week when he joins us at our "Prosthetists Meets Printers" e-NABLE conference at Johns Hopkins Medical in Baltimore, MD on September 28th, 2014!
He was kind enough to be our guest blogger today to share his thoughts on e-NABLE and the event we have planned.
I haven't worn any kind of prosthetic arm in over twenty years.
So, why am I going to the e-NABLE seminar in Baltimore?
First of all, I'm intrigued. I love gadgets and gizmos and these hands look so cool! I've had the opportunity to see one of them in-person (my friend Sam's), but I'm excited to see the full array of options that are on display. I'd actually like to try one myself, just to see what it's like. I did wear several different kinds of prosthetics while growing-up, too, so it'll be kind of a blast-from-the-past, but in the future – if that makes sense. I want to see one being printed and then constructed, too. I want to see families learning how to do it together. I want to see the smiles on their faces as their child tries it on and flexes it for the first time. I want to meet these families and hear their stories. I want to see lives changed.
Secondly, I'm going because it's important. The goal, as I understand it, is to connect the brilliant minds behind these devices with health care professionals and to explore how they can work together. Having worked in the health insurance industry going on a decade, I have first-hand experience (so to speak) with the financial and accessibility challenges inherent in trying to obtain any kind of prosthetic device. That's what's so exciting about this! These devices are affordable, accessible and adaptable. A user can work directly with the creator to enhance the function, fit and look of any device. And we're still in the very beginning stages! Change in the health care industry comes slowly – if at all – so the fact that this is happening and that The US Department of Health – National Institutes of Health (NIH) and leading trauma surgeons from world-renowned hospitals are attending is incredible. I don't believe I'm overstating it when I say that this will be a seminal moment in time for the future of prosthetics worldwide.
Lastly, I believe these devices are going to change the world and I want to be a part of that. Who am I kidding – they've already changed the world! Havingbeen to Haiti twice, I've seen the global need these devices can and will meet. I've also seen the response within the LivingOneHanded.com community and feel a deep responsibility to experience and share this information with them. I hear from LOHers who live all over the planet, so to be involved in something so globally unifying is awesome.
One more thing here. Some, albeit few, have suggested that providing your child with a prosthetic device tells them that they are not whole without it; that they are lacking. I don't believe this to be the case at all. Prosthetics are tools. Just as I need a hammer to pound a nail, a prosthetic can be the tool thatenables someone do any number of tasks more efficiently or, in some cases, at all! It's our responsibility as parents to present them this way to our children so they understand that they are beautiful and complete without it and that the device is only there to help.
I'm excited to see these tools up close and to meet you if you can attend!
Great post, +Ryan Haack! Hope to meet you at the Conference. I was born with no fingers, but with a half-thumb, on my right hand(Amniotic Band Syndrome), and I was asked all kf those questions as a child.i amnow seventy-one years old, and worked all of my life in varying capacities: proofreader in typesetting shops, substitute school teacher in Hartforc, CT, courier/ driver dispatcher for a large bank. But my main job was as a taxi driver (1978-2012). I drove for over thirty years with only two (minor) accidents.

We were busy getting some home projects done. Last week we had our fence replaced. It was a huge job!

Q: Problem in Spying of web applications in Blue prism I am unable to highlight the elements correctly it means that the element is in one position and highlight portion is somewhere during spying in Blue prism  using HTML or AA mode.
can you please help in resolving these kind of issues?

A: Sometimes the html overlay isn't interpreted properly. There's a couple of tricks I use to get the web-elements and the 'spy boxes' to align properly again:

*

*Window the browser and maximize the browser (mess a bit with the size of the browser's window;

*Zoom in/out (mess a bit with the zoom, go 150%, then 50% and then back to 100%. Not an exact science);

*If the above fails (and re-opening the browser doesn't help either), figure out roughly what the offset is. If this is, say ~50px up, then spying the element 50px above the intended element will still allow the RPA solution to correctly interact with the intended element.

Please refrain from accepting this solution. This is just a workaround, maybe there's a proper solution to this.

Some ships at sea are reporting that Santa can be seen flying high and heading north. We haven't been able to confirm that with the Tracking Department, however, where they tell me that continues to track somewhere in the deep South Pacific. It could be that Santa wants to visit all of these islands now instead of coming back to them later, as he has done in years past.

Why men's rights activists are boycotting Gillette
Piers Morgan criticises razor brand's #MeToo advert as 'virtue-signalling PC guff'
Scene from the new commercial
Razor brand Gillette has triggered global debate with a new advert that addresses issues including sexual harassment and bullying.
The ad was uploaded to YouTube on Monday under the title "We Believe" and features clips of news reports on the Me Too movement, alongside snippets showing sexism in films and violence between boys.
The voiceover says: "We can't hide from it. It has been going on far too long. We can't laugh it off, making the same old excuses." In direct reference to the Me Too movement, the ad continues: "Something has finally changed."
CNN says that viewers then see "scenes of men breaking up fights, standing up for people, and being attentive fathers", before the narrator closes with the line, "Bullying, the Me Too movement against sexual harassment, toxic masculinity, is this the best a man can get?" - a play on the brand's traditional slogan.
The advert has prompted a furious backlash from men's rights activists and right-wing commentators, with many accusing the brand of "virtue-signalling", a term that refers to moral posturing.
Far-right magazine The New American attacked Gillette's message, saying it "reflects many false suppositions". The mag adds: "Men are the wilder sex, which accounts for their dangerousness – but also their dynamism."
Good Morning Britain presenter Piers Morgan has also been critical, tweeting: "I've used Gillette razors my entire adult life but this absurd virtue-signalling PC guff may drive me away to a company less eager to fuel the current pathetic global assault on masculinity. Let boys be damn boys. Let men be damn men."

Coronation Street actress Nicola Thorp challenged Morgan, saying the video "focuses on changing the behaviour of men who have engaged in sexual assault, harassment, discrimination and violence".
'Gillette won't be scared to lose your business cause you can't grow a beard anyway mate'...is an attack on your masculinity.Discouraging sexual and physical assault on women IS NOT AN ATTACK ON MASCULINITY.

Morgan responded by claiming that "this pathetic Gillette ad is a direct consequence of radical feminists like you driving a war against masculinity".
The Guardian notes that some critics "took issue with the advertisement because it was directed by a woman" - Kim Gehrig, who was behind the 2015 "This Girl Can" campaign for Sport England, as well as Viva La Vulva, an ad for Swedish feminine hygiene brand Libresse.
Pankaj Bhalla, Gillette's North America brand director, told CNN: "We expected debate. Actually a discussion is necessary. If we don't discuss and don't talk about it, I don't think real change will happen.
"The ad is not about toxic masculinity. It is about men taking more action every day to set the best example for the next generation. This was intended to simply say that the enemy for all of us is inaction."

Researchers have discovered the brightest supernova ever seen, and the unusual object powering it could challenge what physicists know about dying stars.
An artist's impression of the record-breakingly powerful, superluminous supernova ASASSN-15lh as it would appear from an exoplanet located about 10,000 light years away.
When massive stars die, they do not go gently into the night. Instead, they expel most of their mass outward in a powerful explosion called a supernova, leaving behind a glowing cloud of gas and the collapsed remains of the former star's core. In June 2015, a supernova appeared in the sky over the Southern Hemisphere, and astronomers believe it could mark the death throes of a very unusual star.
The supernova, named ASASSN-15lh, was 20 times brighter at its peak than the combined light of the Milky Way galaxy's 100 billion stars, making it the brightest supernova ever observed. In fact, it's twice as bright as the previous record-holder.
An exploding star releases a tremendous amount of energy, but it's not enough to power anything as bright as ASASSN-15lh. Instead, a team of astronomers led by Subo Dong of China's Kavli Institute say that the superluminous supernova could be getting its energy from an unusual object called a magnetar. They published their findings today in the journal Science.
When a star dies, its mass collapses onto the core. Much of it gets blown away in an explosion about a second later, but what remains is a very dense mass of neutrons called a neutron star. Once in a while, a neutron star is born with a stronger magnetic field than usual — about 10 trillion times stronger than Earth's magnetic field — and astronomers call these objects magnetars.
Astronomers have found magnetars at the center of supernova remnants here in the Milky Way, but they're nothing like the fast-spinning magnetar at the heart of ASASSN-15lh. Most magnetars rotate slowly, once every one to ten seconds, and they don't release much energy into the surrounding supernova. But Dong and his colleagues think that the magnetar at the heart of ASASSN-15lh is rotating a thousand times a second. That's right at the limit of how fast theoretical physicists believe a magnetar can rotate.

To produce a supernova as bright as ASASSN-15lh, nearly all of the the magnetar's energy has to be converted into light. That kind of efficiency is technically possible but very rare, and it pushes the limits of how magnetars, as we know them, work.
"You have to take a very fast-spinning magnetar and then extract all the energy from it to power what we have been seeing in this case," says coauthor Kris Stanek, also of Ohio State University.
The team says it's an extreme scenario that's right on the edge of what physicists consider possible for a magnetar, but they also say it's the most plausible explanation for ASASSN-15lh's unprecedented brightness.
The star that exploded to produce ASASSN-15lh would have been a massive, blue, hot star, rotating rapidly. It must have shed its outer layers of hydrogen and helium shortly before it died, because those elements are absent from the supernova. Several telescopes around the world have studied the supernova's spectrum, the presence or absence of different wavelengths of light, which can tell physicists which elements are present in the gas cloud.
Because ASASSN-15lh is between 3.8 and 4 billion light years away, observers here on Earth are seeing the ghost of an explosion that happened billions of years ago, while our planet was still in the process of cooling.
The light from that distant, long-ago explosion reached Earth in June of 2015, where it was first noticed by a pair of telescopes in Chile, part of the All-Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae, or ASAS-SN, rather menacingly pronounced "assassin." ASASSN-15lh is one of 180 supernovae discovered by ASAS-SN in 2015, and one of 270 discovered by the project since its start two years ago.
Two of the 14-centimeter diameter lens telescopes in use for the All Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae that discovered ASASSN-15lh. Since this photo was taken, two more telescopes have been added to the ASAS-SN station in Cerro Tololo, Chile.
Studying the new supernova quickly became a collaborative effort, as larger telescopes in Chile and South Africa, and even NASA's Swift space telescope, joined in to confirm the find and take higher-resolution images and spectra. In February 2016, the Hubble Space Telescope will gather images of ASASSN-15lh to help the team determine how close the supernova is to the center of its galaxy. If it's in the galactic nucleus, astronomers may need to consider another explanation for ASASSN-15lh's brightness, one involving a star's interaction with a supermassive black hole. Stanek and Thompson say it's an unlikely scenario, but one worth investigating.
Supernovae are what astronomers call transient events; they explode, and then they slowly fade.
That gives astronomers an opportunity to study the inner layers of the supernova, not just its outer edge.
"Usually these things are found even further away, so in which case it's much harder to get good data. So we're getting as good data as possible," says Stanek.
Thompson and Stanek hope their find will push theoretical physicists to reevaluate their current models of magnetar formation and look for alternate explanations for ASASSN-15lh.
Meanwhile, Stanek says that ASAS-SN will keep scanning the sky for other interesting new objects. "This approach of really just observing an entire sky as often as possible, is working," he said.


Being highly independent is a good thing. It means you are strong and you have something working right for you, both professionally and personally. However, this can be an intimidating personality to some who feel bewildered by what the term "independence" means.
It's awesome to be independent, but you should be watchful of the following signs because they just might scare some people away.
Your career takes so much of your time and energy, it almost feels like a vacuum. Other activities not related to your job might seem mundane in comparison.
You have become great at saying "no" to things or activities that do not drive you to your goals. You totally dominate your focus on time and resources. You do not want anyone messing up with what you have going on.
You are in control of your finances. If someone wants to help you out with taking care of this, you would gladly never oblige to it.
You always want more out of life. Good is not enough, you know you can be better. You are always improving yourself and doing well to make sure you are a better fit for your aspirations.
You do not throw yourself at every association or relationship that comes your way. You are meticulous about the relationship you want to go into. You look at patterns and ask yourself the right questions before dipping yourself into any alliances.
You are not easily fooled or intimidated. Since you are independent, you know what you want out of life and you are clear about it. This affects your self-esteem and confidence positively as you would not accept less than what you feel you deserve.
You do not chase after the wind. You know your strengths and flaws. You are willing to use this knowledge as a compass to pursuing those things you want. You are also realistic about your direction and where you are going.
This may push such people away, as you always want activity around you rather than idleness. Yes, such attitude towards people who are not making the best use of their energy and time can make you look icy and callous, but it is just who you are. It has worked so far.
You are in control of your activities, the way you expend your energy and resources, and you will only give yourself to things that you are interested in because, at the end of the day, it is not about what others think.
You know that living is not about the present, you also have to think of where you will be in the next couple of years. You make plans and organize your affairs in a way that you will meet the future you are determined to get or that you feel you deserve.
You don't feel needy or try to depend on others. You know how to manage yourself. You are cool with being on your own. Even if no one calls you or tries to contact you, you are fine. You wouldn't want to trouble others or be in their face. Instead, you would rather find ways to deal with your challenges or situations. At the end of the day, that is what independence means and you are fully up to the task of embracing your true self.
Being highly independent can scare some people away, but you are not callous or mean, you just know how to get the things you want and deserve. What is so wrong about that?

In the past, we've offered a far greater number of Boise Weekly-centric poll questions. This year, we trimmed it to just three--in fact, we trimmed the whole ever-changing ballot down to what we perceived as a solid minimum this year, so if we snipped your best-favored Best Of, please let us know at editor@boiseweekly.com.
And the winner is ... It's a tie! Or is it? You created the category online, and you voted for it, so you tell us. Apparently you like that we are an independent newspaper that presents diverse opinions. Or do you like that our opinions are both independent and diverse? Or maybe it's a math equation, and opinion the answer to independence being divided by diversity.
We like any of those interpretations better than the second place finisher by not very many votes: "It's free."
At first, we had quite a dilemma with this category. In the very early online voting, a picture was in the lead that, if it were to win, would cause some concerns. The offending image was a photograph, titled "Rush Hour is For Suckers," and the model was a hairless, pale individual sunbathing in a speedo next to the freeway.
When we began assembling that cover, we realized that the image showed more--or maybe just the outline of more--of our model than any of us intended. Verifying the model's suspicions by asking everyone in the office "Do you see anything?" definitely showed more of the model to more people than he intended. Were that naughty picture to win, we figured, it would surely drive up its value in our November 4 cover auction at Boise Art Museum. Then, we would have to ask ourselves: Should we give the winner the original for their immense investment, or this watered-down lie?
Luckily, better tastes prevailed and our voters picked Erin Ruiz's "Spare Parts" as the best Boise Weekly cover. The front of our annual music issue, as well as the logo on a recent Boise Weekly T-shirt, "Spare Parts" showcases everything that makes us excited whenever Erin turns in a new illustration: Her hand with colors, able to make a barren planet look warm and appealing; her ability to play with visual scale so seamlessly and drastically that we get vertigo just looking at the picture, and her strength at packing an incredible amount of narrative into a tiny space. Good choice!
