A judge told the court at sentencing Friday that he doesn't believe Vera to be a threat to other children. But he said the sentence had to send a message. 'We want out educators to teach our students,' he said in court according to the Houston Chronicle. 'We want them to keep their hands off the students.' The boy has been placed in foster care at least until August.

Prosecutors said Vera (pictured arriving to court with her attorney Ricardo Rodriguez on Friday) had sex at least twice with the victim between September 30, 2015 and January 20, 2016. The former teacher faced a maximum sentence of 30 years. She will be eligible for parole in five. Authorities originally charged her with continuous sexual abuse of a child, but changed it to a lesser charge of aggravated sexual assault of a child when she pleaded guilty.

A senior Russian diplomat has been found dead in his Athens apartment. Police said a coroner will examine the body, while homicide officers will also investigate the death. This comes after Russia's ambassador to Turkey, Andrey Karlov, was assassinated by a rogue police officer while speaking at a photo exhibition in Ankara last month. Malanin is understood to have lived alone in a Russian embassy-owned building on a heavily-guarded street where the official residence of the Greek prime minister and president also reside. According to police, there was no evidence of a break-in at the scene of Mr Malanin's apartment in the Greek capital. 'At first sight, we are talking about natural causes,' a police official added. Officers said there are no immediate indications of foul play and the bodyhad no visible injuries. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4103226/Russian-consul-Athens-dead-no-signs-foul-play.html

The Navy's 355-ship proposal released last month is even larger than what the Republican Trump had promoted on the campaign trail. The Navy currently has only 274 deployable battle force ships.

With President-elect Donald Trump demanding more ships, the Navy is proposing the biggest shipbuilding boom since the end of the Cold War to meet threats from a resurgent Russia and saber-rattling China. The Navy's 355-ship proposal released last month is even larger than what the Republican Trump had promoted on the campaign trail, providing a potential boost to shipyards that have struggled because budget caps that have limited money funding for ships. US tanks and hundreds of fighting vehicles were also unloaded in the northern German port of Bremerhaven on Friday, which will be moved into Eastern Europe to help allay concerns from NATO countries for Russia. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4100286/Trump-Navy-biggest-fleet-expansion-Cold-War.html

Ishilove:Lol.....Fertilizer ![]() |
EmmySparky:Those one were not accepted into any culture, just a way to cover up a crime. |
Coyotejack:They light when it's a bit away? Just like cremation. |
silentachieverr:Not so sure because the coffins are not made of just woods. Some hanging coffins in china mountain have been for centuries and still intact. |
TsaTrinity:Yes bro. |
The U.S. also plans to move in a combat aviation brigade with about 10 Chinook and 50 Black Hawk helicopters and 1,800 personnel from FortDrum, New York, and a battalion with 24 Apache attack helicopters and 400 personnel from Fort Bliss, Texas.

Ships began unloading U.S. tanks, self-propelled howitzers and hundredsof other fighting vehicles on Friday in the northern German port of Bremerhaven, to be moved into Eastern Europe to bolster NATO's deterrence against possible Russian aggression. Some 3,500 troops from the 4th Infantry Division in Fort Carson, Colorado, will join up with the equipment, which includes 87 tanks and 144 Bradley fighting vehicles, over the next two weeks. The deployment marks the start of a new phase of Operation Atlantic Resolve, which foresees the continuous presence of an American armored brigade combat team in Europe on a nine-month rotational basis. The mission is meant to help allay concerns from Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and other NATO allies over an increasingly unpredictable and bellicose Russia. The new forces will gather first in Poland, then fan out across seven countries from Estonia to Bulgaria. A headquarters unit will be stationed in Germany. The U.S. also plans to move in a combat aviation brigade with about 10 Chinook and 50 Black Hawk helicopters and 1,800 personnel from Fort Drum, New York, and a battalion with 24 Apache attack helicopters and 400 personnel from Fort Bliss, Texas. They'll be headquartered in Germany with some aircraft positioned in Latvia, Romania and Poland. NATO has already started positioning equipment and ammunition in Eastern Europe to reduce the time it would take additional units to deploy if needed.

14. Promession. Promession is also an environmentally friendly way to dispose of human remains by way of freeze drying or turning it to fertilizer. Promession involves five steps: 1.Coffin separation: The body is placed into the chamber. 2. Cryogenic freezing: Liquid nitrogen at -196°C crystallizes the body. 3. Vibration: The body is disintegrated into particles within minutes. 4. Freeze drying: Particles are freeze dried in a drying chamber, leaving approximately 30% of the original weight. 5. Metal separation: Any metals (e.g. tooth amalgam, artificial hips, etc.) are removed, either by magnetism or by sieving. The dry powder is placed in a biodegradable casket which is interred in the top layers of soil, where aerobic bacteria decompose the remains into humus in as little as 6–12 months.

13. Burial at seais the disposal of human remains in the ocean, normally from a ship or boat. It is regularly performed by navies, and is done by private citizens in many countries. Burial-at-sea services are available at many different locations and with many different customs, either by ship or by aircraft. Usually, either the captain(or commanding officer) of the ship or aircraft or a religious representative (of the decedent's religion or the state religion) performs the ceremony.

12. Hanging Coffins. Hanging coffins on the side of a cliff is another fascinating burial in the ancient world. Hanging coffins are coffins which have been placed on cliffs. They can be found in various locations, including China, Indonesia, and the Philippines. Hanging coffins are an ancient funeral custom of some ethnic groups, especially the Bo people of southern China. Coffins of various shapes were mostly carved from one whole piece of wood. Hanging coffins either lie on beams projecting outward from vertical faces such as mountains, placed in caves in the face of cliffs, or sit on natural rock projections on mountain faces. It was said that the hanging coffins could prevent bodies from being taken by beasts and also bless the soul eternally. How the ancient people were able to situate these coffins along the steep cliff walls continues to be a mystery that puzzles our modern-day world.

11. Memorial Diamonds. Memorial Diamonds are made by pressurizing ashes, cremated remains or hair of the deceased into a diamond. These gems can be made into jewelry and serve as a keepsake of a loved one that can always be with you forever. Typically, these are diamonds created in a laboratory, and often referred to as synthetic diamonds, cultured diamonds, or laboratory grown diamonds.
|
10. Plastination. Plastination is the process of transforming the deceased body into plastic by replacing the water and fat with silicon. Once evolved into plastic, the body can be displayed as a teaching tool in medical schools or in exhibits. The water and fat are replaced by certain plastics, yielding specimens that can be touched, do not smell or decay, and even retain most properties of the original sample. Many people have chosen this.
|
9. Dissolution. Dissolution is one option to chemically break down a dead body. This process involves dissolving a body with a strong solvent.
|
8. Space Burial. Space burial refers to the launching of cremated remains into outer space. Missions may go into orbit around the Earth, to other planetary bodies (suchas the Moon), or into deep space. The cremated remains are not actually scattered in space, and thus do not contribute to space debris. Instead, the ashes remain sealed inside their spacecraft until the spacecraft either re-enters the Earth's atmosphere and burns up upon re-entry (Earth orbit missions); reaches its final, extraterrestrial destination (e.g. the Moon); or escapes the solar system (deep space missions). This may seem a little out of this world, but famous astronomers and even the creator of Star Trek have selected this form of burial.
|
7. Resomation. Resomation is an eco-friendly burial method that decomposes the body using an alkali and water based solution under high pressure. This breaks down the body to a liquid and bone ash. The liquid can be recycled into the ecosystem by pouring it into a garden or nature. The bone ash is collected and placed into an urn.
|
6. Funeral Cannibalism. Cannibalism or the consumption of a dead body, in most cultures is frowned upon and only considered an option in extreme conditions. However, some cultures believe that cannibalism is a way for a deceased individual’s abilities can be given to the living.
|
5. Cryonics. Cryonics is used when an individual may not be necessarily dead such as people who are diagnosed brain dead. The body can then undergo cryopreservation, in which the body is frozen. This preservation technique is used with hopes that the body can be revived at later time in decades or centuries when improved technology can recover the individual.
