Health / Schoolgirl Dies After Taking Grandmother's Tramadol Which She Mistook For Ibupro by Susanbamidele(f): 1:13pm On Apr 04, 2019
Tramadol is a painkiller used to treat moderate to severe pain and can be deadly in very high doses ( Getty Images/iStockphoto )
A 12-year-old girl died at her grandmother’s house after taking a “very high” amount of the opioid painkiller tramadol left on a coffee table, an inquest has heard.

Police concluded that Kaitlin Clegg had taken the tramadol because she mistook it for ibuprofen and paracetamol after leaving school early because she was feeling ill.

Kaitlin died in her sleep at her grandmother Margaret Crook’s house, Burnley Coroner’s Court heard.

Ms Crook, the girl’s father Jason Clegg and her mother Kelly Canovan had all been taking tramadol and it was initially unclear when she had ingested the painkiller.

However, a police investigation found, on the balance of probabilities, that she had taken her grandmother’s tramadol which was left on a coffee table with other medication prescribed by a doctor for Kaitlin.

Coroner Richard Taylor said: “Whilst in pain she took the medication hoping it would do her some good. Tragically it did not.”

The girl’s parents consoled Ms Crook after being given the verdict.

Paediatric pathologist Melanie Newbould, who conducted the post-mortem examination, said her death was caused by the drug.

She said: “In most cases of child deaths at Kaitlin’s age we would look at sepsis and viral infections such as meningitis.

“However, there was no evidence of any of these. There were no signs of any underlying serious disease.”

However, toxicology tests produced a positive result with evidence of ibuprofen, paracetamol and a “very high concentration” of tramadol.

“Although we have to carefully interpret post-mortem results, which can produce high levels, in Kaitlin’s case it was very very high indeed.

“It is impossible to tell how many pills she had taken or over what period.”

Mr Taylor heard how Kaitlin had not been enjoying good health in the months leading up to her death and suffered from appendicitis and asthma.

She had also been complaining of pains in her arms, legs and shoulders.

Her father told the inquest his daughter had spent the night at his house on the Saturday before her death and had seemed fine.

He said she knew tramadol was used to treat pain and added it was possible she had taken them from his house but he did not know.

Kaitlin’s mother also told the hearing how she had been prescribed tramadol but was “99 per cent sure [Kaitlin] would not have had the opportunity” to take them from her house.

Mr Taylor said he had read text messages sent between Ms Crooks and Ms Canovan which were clearly “loving, caring and concerned messages about Kaitlin, but also a question over whether she may have taken tramadol”.

Ms Canovan said: “I think if Kaitlin was in pain, knowing what all three of us take it for, then yes she would have taken it.”

Detective Inspector Paul Barlow, from Burnley CID, said: “Theoretically, the tramadol could have been taken from all three relatives, but as she was under the care of her grandma at the time, and it was left on a coffee table within easy reach, then it made some sense to me that it was taken there.”

Recording a conclusion of misadventure, the coroner said that Kaitlin had taken the tramadol deliberately when in distress and pain without knowing how it would affect her.

Food / 10 Foods You Should Definitely Not Store In The Fridge by Susanbamidele(f): 12:10pm On Dec 31, 2018
What you keep in your fridge can sometimes be a subject of conflict for households.
The great tomato ketchup debate for example (obviously cupboard not fridge).
But chilling some foods don't just cause arguments, they can spoil them and even make you ill!


Here are some of their surprising tips:


1: Bananas

Just bought a bunch of bananas? You might be tempted to stick them straight in the fridge - but wait a few days.
Bananas hail from tropical climates and their cells have no natural defence against the cold, according to A Moment of Science .
If they're green and you refrigerate them straight away, they won't ripen at all. Instead, they'll turn mushy and black as their enzymes break down nutrients.
Apparently if they're already ripe, it's safer to pop them in the fridge.
2: Tomatoes

Whether you like a cherry, plum or salad tomato, you probably put them in the fridge to keep them nice and cold. Surely a cool, crisp tomato in a salad is the best way to go?
Apparently not. As Harold McGee explains in his book On Food and Cooking, refrigerating tomatoes actually damages the membrane inside the fruit, altering the taste and texture.
The tomato will lose flavour and will probably taste a bit watery and unripe. Leave it on the counter and it will develop more flavour over a few days.


3: Bread

Bread dries out and goes stale much more quickly in the fridge, which isn't what you want when you bite into your lunchtime sandwich.
Try storing it in a cool, dry place. A bread bin or bread bags would be a good start.
4: Melons

There's nothing like biting into cold melon to cool you down on a hot summer's day, but Good Housekeeping recommends you store yours elsewhere - but only before you cut it.
Once you've cut into the melon, wrap it in cling film and put it in the fridge.
5: Potatoes

According to the Foods Standards Agency , potatoes are the one food you should never, ever store in the fridge - because it could be harmful.
The FSA website explains: "The most important food not to keep in the fridge are potatoes.
"When these are stored in the fridge, the starch in the potato is converted to sugar. When baked or fried, these sugars combine with the amino acid asparagine and produce the chemical acrylamide, which is thought to be harmful."
More information about this is available here .
6: Cake

Cake is good to keep in an airtight container for a few days.
If it's got fresh cream in it, obviously you do need to put it in the fridge.
Otherwise, pop it in a cake tin. It'll taste better if it's not cold.
7: Coffee

If you're in the habit of throwing your coffee jar into the fridge (although we're not sure why you would), then stop immediately.
Coffee beans and grounds take in the smells from their surroundings, and you don't want coffee that tastes like stilton.
Keep it in an airtight container outside of the fridge.
8: Honey

Nairaland / General / Woman Killed By Lion Died 'following Her Passion' by Susanbamidele(f): 11:04am On Dec 31, 2018
........zoological park intern killed Sunday by an escaped lion in North Carolina "loved animals" and wanted to make a career of working with them, her family says.



Alexandra Black, a 22-year-old recent graduate of Indiana State University, had been an intern at the Conservators Center in Burlington, west of Durham, for about two weeks when she was attacked and killed, the Caswell County Sheriff's Office said.
The center said the lion had escaped a locked enclosure during a routine cleaning.

In a statement obtained by CNuN affiliat0e WXIN Sunday, Black's family said she had died "following her passion."
"Alex loved animals. Our beautiful, intelligent, passionate Alex had worked, unpaid, at several animal-related ventures, most recently at Wolf Park in Battleground, Indiana. This was her fourth internship, because she really wanted to make a career of working with animals," they said.
Black was a native of New Palestine, Indiana, according to the sheriff's office.
She had started working at the Conservators Center -- her first out-of-state internship -- 10 days ago, her family said.
"She was a beautiful young woman who had just started her career, there was a terrible accident, and we are mourning," the family said.
They asked that people consider donating to Wolf Park to honor Black.
Conservators Center 'devastated'
The Conservators Center earlier said that a team led by a trained animal keeper had been cleaning the lion's enclosure when the attack took place.
"One of the lions somehow left a locked space and entered the space the humans were in and quickly killed one person," the center said on its Facebook page.
"The Conservators Center is devastated by the loss of a human life today," the center said.
Black's "passion was the zoological industry -- this was not this person's first internship," the center's executive director, Mindy Stinner, said, according to CNN affiliate WNCN.
"And this person wanted to spend a lifetime around these animals," Stinner said in an emotional press conference.
Black was not a staff member but was working under the supervision of a staff member, according to Stinner.
Male lion was shot and killed
The male lion was euthanized, Stinner said. It was unclear how the lion escaped, the center said.
Stinner said all large cats are locked in a separate area from humans during the routine cleanings.
"At no time did the lion ever enter a space that was not enclosed by the park's perimeter fence," she said.
Stinner said visitors were at the park but officials safely and quickly got them out of the park.
"This is not a situation we've ever had before. Safety is a very, very important feature of running any zoological park," she said.
Center is closed until further notice
The zoological park houses more than 80 animals, including tigers, small wild cats and other small carnivores, according to its website. It offers guided walking tours near the animal enclosures. The park is regulated the US Department of Agriculture, according to Stinner.
Stinner, an educator, co-founded the center in 1999 in Mebane, North Carolina, as an educational nonprofit to provide a home for select carnivore species, according to the center's website. It relocated to a 45-acre swath in 2004, the website said.
Stinner said they first started doing ..............................

Culture / Slangs Used Everyday In Nigeria by Susanbamidele(f): 6:41pm On Dec 29, 2018
Nigeria is as interesting as it is fascinating. One of her capabilities is the ability to attribute meaning to words, behind its original meaning, or create new words entirely.

Some of these distinctive words and phrases are commonly used while conversing. Here are some of the very familiar and interesting ones:

How far

Originally, how far was as a way to check up on an ongoing situation. However, how far is now used as a way of greeting, as opposed to ‘hello or hi’. It could mean, how are you? How have you been?

I dey

This here is a plus because it is technically a reply to ‘how far?’. It also emphasises the extent of how well you are. On this note, it is alright to say: I dey oh, I just dey.


As in eh

Usually, the phrase ‘as in’ is a question that begs for more clarification on whatever is being talked about. However, this is not the case here. Hence, ‘as in eh’ means ‘very true’ or ‘your assertion is correct’. The addition of the ‘eh’, qualifies the agreement.


Oya na

This phrase has the ability to accept a new meaning as the day progresses including saying goodbyes. Initially, oya na was a phrase popular to the Yoruba’s which means “hurry up” until it began to be used to refer to other things. The difference in its meanings is observed in the cadence while pronouncing. Oya na could mean okay, do whatever you want to do, answer me, let’s go, take care and so many others...................

Programming / Nigerians Develop First Emergency Mobile App by Susanbamidele(f): 7:54am On Dec 27, 2018
The first emergency mobile application which leverages technology and innovation to develop a system that in the long run will help reduce crime rates and help respond to emergency situations has been developed by a group of young Nigerians.
The app known as Triggr also provides performance and situational analytics for individuals, emergency operators and government that would in the future shape how we deal with crime in Nigeria.


According to Mr. Okey Madubuike and David Echieanu, Triggr co-founders, “Triggr is a new personal security and emergency coordination mobile application for real-time location sharing, event notification and collaboration among family members, friends, and associates”.
Available on Android and iOS, Triggr is designed for both individuals and corporate organisations, who when threatened by circumstances, desire the quickest engagement with their most trusted allies regardless of physical distance, and their most approximate, reliable service providers.

Crime / South African Police Kills Nigerian Businessman by Susanbamidele(f): 7:46am On Dec 27, 2018
The Nigeria Union in South Africa has confirmed the killing of a member, Kingsley Ikeri, at Vryheid town in Kwazulu Natal Province on Aug. 30. Ikeri, 27, was a businessman and native of Mbaitolu in Imo.
In December 2016, Metropolitan Police in Cape Town had suffocated to death a man, Victor Nnadi, also from Imo.Mr Bartholomew Eziagulu, Chairman of the union in the province, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Durban on Friday that Ikeri was allegedly tortured to death by the police.He said the union’s investigations revealed that the police arrested the deceased and a friend on suspicion that they were carrying hard drugs.
He said while interrogating him, the police used plastic to cover his face to extort information from him.“In the process, they suffocated the deceased suffocated. When the police took him to the hospital, he was confirmed dead,” he said.Mr Adetola Olubajo, the Secretary General of the union, said the national secretariat had been informed about the death of the Nigerian.



He said the body had informed appropriate Nigerian authorities and the police in South Africa.NAN reports that a senior diplomat from the Nigerian Consulate in Johannesburg had visited Vryheid on a fact-finding mission.Some members of the union and other Nigerians accompanied the diplomat to the town.A total 116 Nigerians have been killed in South Africa through extrajudicial means in the last two years, according to the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Foreign Affairs and Diaspora, Mrs Abike Dabiri-Erewa.
Seven in 10 of the killings were carried out by the South African Police.The presidential aide disclosed this sometime in February when she met with the South African High Commissioner to Nigeria, Lulu Louis Mnguni in Abuja.

Romance / Lazy Dating Habits Women Hate by Susanbamidele(f): 12:36pm On Dec 22, 2018
Source: https://susanbamidele..com/2018/12/lazy-dating-habits-women-hate.html?m=1

Men, here are lazy dating habits women hate.





Texting “Hi”

You don’t need to text some fascinating thesis on human evolution but can you please, for the love of all things, text something more than “Hi?” What are we supposed to do with that? It’s like a man’s way of saying, “I like you and want to talk but am too lazy to even say that. Can you take it from here?”
Not choosing an activity

It doesn’t have to be some unique activity but pick an activity. If you just keep saying, “I’ll do whatever you want to do” we feel like you’ll never take initiative in any area of the relationship.
Selecting the typical restaurant

That date spot in town that’s so clearly designed for first dates. It’s just cute enough to work but is really rather run of the mill with nothing special about it. It’s the easy, obvious choice. It says nothing about the man’s personality or own taste.
“We should do something some time”

Oookay. What thing? What time? Are we setting that now or, are we going to have some other conversation, “some time” about doing something, some time in the future beyond that? Ugh. It’s exhausting.
No mid-week contact

Some men will treat you to an amazing weekend and then put their heads down and go ghost for the following Monday to Friday. We get that you’re busy but a simple, mid-week, “Thinking about you! Hope you’re having a good week!” text goes a long way.
Giving up on date nights

If you’ve been dating for a little while, some men will just give up on date nights entirely once they feel the relationship is in the bag. It’s like they have it on their calendar at the three-month mark, “No need to make an effort starting today.” It’s not that hard to come up with a nice date activity.
Inviting you to his event

He’s in a band and invites you to his performance. He’s an author and invites you to his book signing. Um, you don’t just want to be treated like a fan. Those nights are all about him and date nights should be about both of you.
Needing a restaurant with a TV

Men who insist on finding a restaurant with a TV so you can “Keep an eye on the game”—you just don’t deserve to date. TiVo the damned game and watch it at home, later, alone.
“Just come over when you’re done”

Some men, once they’ve made you their girlfriend, just give up on making an effort to know your friends or take an interest in your hobbies. If you invite them to something, they say, “Just come over when you’re done.”
Asking you to DD

Dude, pay for a cab, get a Lyft, or stay sober yourself, but don’t ask your date to be the designated driver so you can get drunk. That’s high school behavior.
Avoiding places with a dress code

It’s really not that hard to put on dress shoes and pants. But some dudes just won’t go anywhere with even a moderate dress code. So, basically, they won’t change out of their shorts to go somewhere that would make their date really happy.
No culinary sense of adventure

If they can’t pronounce it or you wouldn’t find it on the Cheesecake Factory menu, some men just won’t eat something new. There’s no chance of dragging them to the opening night of a quirky and innovative new restaurant. It doesn’t make them great prospects to spend a life with.
“I don’t like new people”

I understand that making chitchat with new people—people with whom you don’t yet have rapport—takes a lot of energy. But it’s energy men should expend when it comes to getting to know their girlfriends’ friends. Some men, however, are so lazy that they don’t want to meet new people—even the good friends of the woman they claim to love.
Last minute reach-out

He wants to know what you’re doing Saturday for lunch. It is Friday night. That man needs to set calendar reminders on Tuesday to reach out to you about the weekend because by Wednesday night your weekend is booked.
No logistics tolerance

If there are more than two steps of logistics—like, be there by 6pm to get free parking or go to this website to get tickets—he won’t do it. Some men become cranky babies when it comes to multi-step processes.

Romance / 10 Things You Never Knew Men Find Sexy by Susanbamidele(f): 11:51am On Dec 22, 2018

Sometimes it's the simplest of things that create that spark, from using your wits to using the natural look.
Some of these may feel obvious, but we've gathered together expert top tips and advice when it comes to men finding women sexy.
There's a few that mean sometimes less is more, while others may sound like the worst idea ever, but actually make perfect sense.
Here's a few.

1. No Make-up: When a woman doesn't wear make-up, her natural beauty is on display. Men find this sexy because you look like you've just made love. It reminds them of how great the afterglow of sex feels.
Also, some men find it a huge turn-off to kiss a woman and find that they are smeared with lipstick. Make-up can sometimes act as a barrier rather than a come-on.
2. Potbelly: Potbelly can be a turn-on and give a woman that natural look
3. Stretch marks: Stretch marks remind a man of the child they created together and her commitment to him.
4. Phone call: phone call to confess how much you miss him
5. Small breasts: Small breasts are usually pert and this is an indication of youth and physical health. Men are more wired to seek signs of youth and vitality, indicators that she could bear children.
6. The curvy shape: The curvy shape is synonymous with fertility so the soft fleshiness is tapping directly into his unconscious evolutionary desires.
7. Jovial lady: If you reckon your man is rolling his eyes as you play with nieces and nephews, think again. Mo explains: "It gives him visual evidence that she is patient and caring, and reminds him of his mother's unconditional love
8. Moderate dressing: Very casual clothes suggest the woman is relaxed and confident about herself, and a man can find this very sexy
9. Wrinkles: Wrinkles can spell experience, which can trigger thoughts of them having great sex together - a huge turn-on for him
10. Drinking what you want and not caring what people think show that you are confident with yourself and the choices you make in life

Romance / Re: 5 Things You'll Notice If Your Date Is Only Interested in Sex by Susanbamidele(f): 8:44pm On Dec 19, 2018
Susanbamidele:
By[url][/url]: //susanbamidele..com/2018/12/5-things-youll-notice-if-your-date-is.html?m=1


When you go on a date with someone, there are a lot of unknowns. Will you have chemistry? Will you actually like them? And, of course, what are their intentions? While you can’t exactly read their minds, people usually tip their hand pretty early about if they are looking to really get to know you or if your date is only interested in sex. If you're into that, or share their intentions, fantastic. But if, on the other hand, you are hoping it will lead to something more serious, then it's important to be able to pick up on their subtle — and not so subtle — signs that they want this date to lead to one place only (in as near a future as possible): The bedroom. The same holds true if you're only looking to hook up, because it's good to know when you're on the same page.To help spot the signs, I reached out the experts for their advice on what behaviors you'll notice in someone you're on a date with that tell you their goal is just sex. So, yes next time you're out with someone and you're not totally sure what their intentions on, here is how the experts say you'll
know.
1They don't really listen when you talk.

When you’re talking to your date, Diana Dorell, intuitive dating coach and author of The Dating Mirror: Trust Again, Love Again, tells Elite Daily to pay attention to the quality of the conversation, particularly how much effort they are making to get to know and how willing they are to go beyond just surface-level small talk. “[If[ they are half-listening to what you say and may try to interrupt you by touching you or changing the subject, especially if the conversation veers into more emotionally vulnerable territory,”
2They talk about sex constantly.

It's not just about what your date won't talk about, it's also what they have to say. If they only want to talk about sex, Dorell says that’s because that’s what’s on their agenda. “They talk about sex constantly and may send you constant texts throughout the day asking for naughty pictures or recounting anything physical you've already done,”.
3They invite you to their place for your first date.


Is their idea of a date just going to their place? If so, Dorell says you should consider that a red flag that they are just interested in hooking up, particularly if “they ask you to come to their place for dates and seem put off when you decline.”
“When someone is not just interested in sex, they will go at the pace that you feel comfortable with.
4They touch you — a lot.

One of the ways that your date will communicate that they just want sex is that they will touch you a lot, warns Amour. “Physical body language is a great way to tell your date you're ready for a kiss — sitting next to someone, touching their arm [or] hand, or holding eye contact all suggest you want to progress physically. When someone's doing a lot of these, plus touching more intimate body parts like your legs or your face, it suggests your date is looking for something more sooner rather than later,” she explains.
5They’ve told you they don't "do" relationships.

The clearest sign, however, is that they’ve told you they just want sex. They may not just come out and say it plainly, but Winter says if “they've told you they don't do relationships,” that means they don’t do relationships. While it may not have been what you wanted to hear at the time, Winter says this is the time to listen, “because they were telling you the truth.” It may be tempting to just ignore it, but Winter says you need to resist that urge. “Far too often we assume we can convert a player into relationship material ‘if they get to know us,’” she says. But if they tell you from the start that this isn’t going to be a relationship, believe them.
What to do if your date just wants sex.

If yyou want. “If they're not ‘future’ material and you want to have a fun night (or few), then go for it,” says Amour. “Sometimes, it's worth spending 30 seconds establishing ground rules (‘I’m just looking for something casual’) to set your minds totally at ease. That way, you can focus on the fun, not on what the other person is thinking.”

However, if you are really interested in the person, Dorell says direct communication is best. “Say something like, ‘I’m really flattered that you are attracted to me. I'm also attracted to you (if it's true) but it's important to me that we get to know each other a bit more before we get intimate. I understand if you can't wait but if you do want to continue seeing each other, I need to slow things down and table sex for now’,” she suggests. “If [they were] just really really unaware and excited by you, they will most likely apologize and back off, letting you set the pace. If they insist, set that person free as they are saying that they are comfortable violating your boundaries.”
Ultimately, it just comes down to pursuing what you want — and then being honest about it, both with yourself and your date. “If you find you're in a relationship that doesn't work for you, speak up,” concludes Winter. And part of being empowered is being able to recognize where the other person is coming from. By doing that, you’ll have taken back control over deciding what happens next. I guess that’s why they say knowledge is power!

When you go on a date with someone, there are a lot of unknowns. Will you have chemistry? Will you actually like them? And, of course, what are their intentions? While you can’t exactly read their minds, people usually tip their hand pretty early about if they are looking to really get to know you or if your date is only interested in sex. If you're into that, or share their intentions, fantastic. But if, on the other hand, you are hoping it will lead to something more serious, then it's important to be able to pick up on their subtle — and not so subtle — signs that they want this date to lead to one place only (in as near a future as possible): The bedroom. The same holds true if you're only looking to hook up, because it's good to know when you're on the same page.To help spot the signs, I reached out the experts for their advice on what behaviors you'll notice in someone you're on a date with that tell you their goal is just sex. So, yes next time you're out with someone and you're not totally sure what their intentions on, here is how the experts say you'll
know.
1They don't really listen when you talk.

When you’re talking to your date, Diana Dorell, intuitive dating coach and author of The Dating Mirror: Trust Again, Love Again, tells Elite Daily to pay attention to the quality of the conversation, particularly how much effort they are making to get to know and how willing they are to go beyond just surface-level small talk. “[If[ they are half-listening to what you say and may try to interrupt you by touching you or changing the subject, especially if the conversation veers into more emotionally vulnerable territory,”
2They talk about sex constantly.

It's not just about what your date won't talk about, it's also what they have to say. If they only want to talk about sex, Dorell says that’s because that’s what’s on their agenda. “They talk about sex constantly and may send you constant texts throughout the day asking for naughty pictures or recounting anything physical you've already done,”.
3They invite you to their place for your first date.


Is their idea of a date just going to their place? If so, Dorell says you should consider that a red flag that they are just interested in hooking up, particularly if “they ask you to come to their place for dates and seem put off when you decline.”
“When someone is not just interested in sex, they will go at the pace that you feel comfortable with.
4They touch you — a lot.

One of the ways that your date will communicate that they just want sex is that they will touch you a lot, warns Amour. “Physical body language is a great way to tell your date you're ready for a kiss — sitting next to someone, touching their arm [or] hand, or holding eye contact all suggest you want to progress physically. When someone's doing a lot of these, plus touching more intimate body parts like your legs or your face, it suggests your date is looking for something more sooner rather than later,” she explains.
5They’ve told you they don't "do" relationships.

The clearest sign, however, is that they’ve told you they just want sex. They may not just come out and say it plainly, but Winter says if “they've told you they don't do relationships,” that means they don’t do relationships. While it may not have been what you wanted to hear at the time, Winter says this is the time to listen, “because they were telling you the truth.” It may be tempting to just ignore it, but Winter says you need to resist that urge. “Far too often we assume we can convert a player into relationship material ‘if they get to know us,’” she says. But if they tell you from the start that this isn’t going to be a relationship, believe them.
What to do if your date just wants sex.

If yyou want. “If they're not ‘future’ material and you want to have a fun night (or few), then go for it,” says Amour. “Sometimes, it's worth spending 30 seconds establishing ground rules (‘I’m just looking for something casual’) to set your minds totally at ease. That way, you can focus on the fun, not on what the other person is thinking.”

However, if you are really interested in the person, Dorell says direct communication is best. “Say something like, ‘I’m really flattered that you are attracted to me. I'm also attracted to you (if it's true) but it's important to me that we get to know each other a bit more before we get intimate. I understand if you can't wait but if you do want to continue seeing each other, I need to slow things down and table sex for now’,” she suggests. “If [they were] just really really unaware and excited by you, they will most likely apologize and back off, letting you set the pace. If they insist, set that person free as they are saying that they are comfortable violating your boundaries.”
Ultimately, it just comes down to pursuing what you want — and then being honest about it, both with yourself and your date. “If you find you're in a relationship that doesn't work for you, speak up,” concludes Winter. And part of being empowered is being able to recognize where the other person is coming from. By doing that, you’ll have taken back control over deciding what happens next.

Science/Technology / Check The Most-distant Solar System Object Discovered: "Farout" by Susanbamidele(f): 8:56pm On Dec 17, 2018
A group of astronomers have identified the most distant object ever observed within our solar system.
Provisionally named 2018 VG18, but nicknamed Farout by its discoverers, the body is 120 astronomical units (AU) from the sun. One AU is equal to the average distance from the Earth to the sun, or just under 150m kilometres. The previous furthest known object was Eris, 96 AU from the sun.
