4. Ground burial.



Ground Burial is a common method of burying deceased individuals.

Typically bodies are placed into a casket or directly and buried deep into the ground or in sanctioned cemeteries.

Tombstones are then placed above ground to mark the location of the body and allow people to give their respect to the deceased.

3. Tree burial


These practices have been found in places such as the Philippines.

This unusual burial is achieved by placing bodies high in a tree or even entombed in tree-trunks.

Bodies can also be concealed in a coffin or blanket that will be tied into the branches of a tree.

Tree burial is a creative method of protectingthe dead by keeping them away from animals.

2. Mummification.



Mummification is typically referenced to burials of pharaohs in ancient Egypt(3000BC).

Mummification is a process in which the skin and flesh of a corpse can be preserved.


The Egyptians wrapped bandages around the corpse to protect the body from rotting.

Mummies of humans and other animals have been found on every continent, but as a result of natural preservation through unusual conditions, and as cultural artifacts.



They used a hook to remove the brain and they use a knife to take out the organs.

It takes about 70 days to completely mummify a dead body.


The first step is to push a sharp rod up the nose and into the brain.


From there, the brain is broken up into tiny pieces and removed through the nose, and then the nose is filled with saw dust.

Next, they make a hole in the body to remove all the organs except for the heart.

Jars which had the heads of gods on top were used to store the organs.

The hole was then filled with linen and spices and the body was left under salt to become dry. Later, after 40 days the body was wrapped in linen bandages.

Priests surrounded the body while it was being wrapped and said spells.

After the mummifying process was complete, a mask was placed over the head so it can be known in the afterlife.





Today, this continues to be a burial method using modern techniques.

Modern-day mummies are created by submerging the body in a tank of liquid that allows for the body to be remained intact and preserved over time.

1. Cremation.



Cremation is an alternate burial method chosen by many for personal, religious or cultural reasons.

Cremation is the process of disposing remains by using intense heat to vaporize and oxidize the dead body.

Also the process of burning a dead body at very high temperatures until there are only brittle, calcified bones left, which are then pulverized into "ashes."

These ashes can be kept in an urn, buried, scattered or even incorporated into objects as part of the last rites of death.

Ashes can then be given to relatives to disperse as they wish.

A crematory(also known as a crematorium, creator or retort) is a machine in which people's bodies or remains are burned down to the bones, eliminating all soft tissue.

Crematories are usually found in funeral homes, chapels, cemeteries, or in stand-alone facilities.

A facility which houses the actual crematory units is referred to as a crematorium.

Temperature in the primary chamber is typically between 760 and 1150°C(1400 to 2100°F) and it takes about tw hour to turn a body to ash.

About 100 billion people have died in all of human history.


Burying a loved one is a very difficult thing to do. Throughout history, mankind has been fascinated and sorrowed by death.

Different cultures bury their dead in different ways, and with technological advances, there are increasingly new techniques and means of burying the dead.

What is common and appropriate in one culture may be very different in another culture.

Here are some of the ways that people have been buried throughout the centuries, as well as some newly adapted methods that have only recently been put in use.

Five people are dead and at least eight people injured after a shooting at the Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood Airport in Florida.

Gunman Esteban Santiago an Iraq war veteran, was taken into custody after he opened fire in the lower level baggage claim area in Terminal 2 on Friday about 1pm.

Santiago flew into the airport from Anchorage, Alaska (with a layover in Minneapolis, St. Paul) on Delta flight 2182 - a firearm was his only piece of checked luggage. The 26-year-old, who was dressed in a Star Wars t-shirt, claimed his bag, went to the bathroom to load his handgun and then started shooting people dead.

Santiago served from 2007 to 2016 in the Puerto Rico National Guard and Alaska National Guard including a deployment to Iraq from 2010 to 2011. A private first class and combat engineer, he received half a dozen medals before receiving a general discharge for unsatisfactory performance in August last year.

Santiago had a history of mental problems, according to NBC News.

Sources have told CBS news that Santiago walked into an FBI office in Anchorage in November last year claiming the government was trying to control his mind and he was being forced to fight for ISIS. After that incident, Santiago started getting treatment for his mental health issues.

An astonishing video has emerged of a young girl riding a fully grown alligator during a kids’ party in the States.

The youngster grips on to the fearsome predator's back and attempts to pose for a photo for her mother but the animal instead carries her away to the laughter of excited children and parents, off camera.

The controversial footage, which was allegedly shot during one of Jim Nesci’s Cold Blooded Creatures' events, which promote ‘conservation through education’, has started to go viral.

Lakunsin12:
Depending on various factors i.e. travel period (season), destination and how far out you book the cruise then you can get a good price below £1000 per person. For a little over £700 you can book a 7-day cruise to Western Caribbean on Harmony of the Seas in an interior cabin (no windows or porthole) and this includes your accommodation, food and drinks (soda only).

The price increases if you choose a room with a porthole/window, a balcony or if well minted, a suite.
You pay extra for alcoholic drinks, Spa treatments, Internet access, dining at specialty/fancy restaurants on board and as you rightly said, going on excursions when the ship berths at a port.


Trick is to book far out in advance during off-peak periods.

Yea

RIP.

What about Hong Kong International Airport?

It was built on artificial land and it has the largest cargo in the world where over 1million of luggage passed everyday without human touch.

There are two major waters crossing to the Airport, initially it posses a big challenge for engineers but which were solved by building an under water tunnel at about 50m below water and a double decker suspension bridge.

We need MEGASTRUCTURE in this country.

Amazing.

It was introduced recently after the spate of black killings in the US. Now every word and actions of the arresting officer an the suspect is recorded. No police man or "black victim" will lie about what transpired between them. The recording goes to the server immediately so no deleting.

Actually police bodycam has been existing for over a decade, but the shooting of Michael Brown and Eric Garner brought it out like you said.

At bolded, So the Police even use body camera while on duty. Nigeria still have a long way to go.

Yes, they must. On their chest, including dash camera and civilians also have the right to turn on their phone camera.

Morris, 31, told reporters Thursday Bonar was aggressive, rude and disrespectful.

Flagstaff Police Chief Kevin Treadway said that the disgraced officer violated at least six Flagstaff police policies, including displaying excessive force and not having his body camera turned on, during the incident.

She is left in agony by the punch as another policeman restrains her.

A police officer who was caught on camera brutally punching a woman in the mouth during an arrest has resigned the day he was due to get sacked.

Arizona cop Jeff Bonar was seen striking Marissa Morris, 31, in November after she resisted arrest at her home.

The subsequent video went viral on social media and the officer was placed on immediate paid leave.

A disciplinary board recommended Bonar be fired from the department and he was called to Flagstaff Police Chief Kevin Treadway yesterday to receive his marching orders.

However before the meeting could take place Bonar submitted his resignation.
