Washington could become the first state to embrace another funerary practice by making it legal to compost the dead. The method is called "recomposing" and claims to be cheaper and more environmentally friendly than traditional burial or cremation. It involves rapidly decomposing a body and converting the remains into soil. That nutrient-rich material can then be used to grow trees, flowers, and other new life. The alternative practice hinges on a bill that state senator Jamie Pedersen plans to introduce next month, according to NBC.

"When the process has finished, families will be able to take home some of t...

Bungokho North Member of Parliament Gershom Sizomu Wambede says Ugandans should not bash MPs on issues relating to the payment of social media tax (OTT) and bundles on Ipads that were given to them by government.

Meanwhile as millions of Ugandan internet users grapple to pay the Over The Top (OTT) tax for social media accessibility, Members of Parliament will receive free services for their iPads as parliament hires MTN, a telecom service provider to provide mobile data and OTT tax for them. The Parliamentary Commission recently embarked on a bidding process to identify the best service provider to provide mobile data and OTT tax for mobile co...
