Since the tragic death of Paul Walker many have speculated the initial cause of his death. Now it’s being reported that the L.A. County Coroner’s Office has completed their examination via dental records for both Walker, and his friend, Roger Rodas, who was driving the 2005 Porsche Carrera GT.

The L.A. County Coroner’s Office has released a statement in regards to the tragic crash that took the lives of actor Paul Walker, and his friend, Roger Rodas. Walker, 40, passed away due to a “combination of traumatic and thermal injuries.”

According to the statement, Walker did not die by the impact of the crash, and is believed to have been alive for a few seconds. It’s said that ultimately the fire caused by the impact was the cause of death. In the case of Roger Rodas, 38, the driver died on impact from severe injuries, and fire was not listed as a factor in his death.

It’s said that toxicology results will not be in for the two men until six to eight weeks, although the Medical Examiner has ruled that the deaths of Walker and his friend were accidental.

As for the event surrounding the accident, the two men were winding down after a charity event for Walker’s ROWW organization when they decided to take the red 2005 Porsche Carrera GT out for a test drive. According to Walker and Rodas’ mutual friend, Jim Torp, the two were not drag racing and were testing out a problem with the car that the two were trying to diagnose.

Shortly they left the garage, tragedy struck. According to Torp, smoke was visible from Always Evolving Performance Motors, which was the shop Rodas owned, and is around the corner from the crash site. Although many of their friends tried to get them out of the car, there was nothing that could be done. In addition, initial reports that said Walker’s 15-year-old daughter Meadow was on site at the time are false.

Paul Walker’s family has made an official statement on his public Facebook that has amassed to 12 million likes:

“Paul Walker’s family appreciates the outpouring of love and goodwill from his many fans and friends. They have asked, in lieu of flowers or other gifts, that donations please be made to Paul’s charity Reach Out Worldwide (ROWW). Donations can easily be made through their website at http://www.ROWW.org/.”

நாளுக்கு நாள் மண் திண்ணும் ஆர்வம் அதிகரித்து வருகிறதே தவிர குறையவில்லை’ என, ஒரு நாளைக்கு அரை கிலோ மண்ணை சாப்பிடும் காய்கறி கடை வியாபாரி கூறினார். விழுப்புரம் மாவட்டம் தியாகதுருகத்தைச் சேர்ந்த வாலி மகன் கோபி(25); காய்கறி வியாபாரி.

மூன்று வயதில் மண்ணை சாப்பிட ஆரம்பித்தவர் தற்போது 25 வயதிலும் மண் சாப்பிட்டு வருகிறார். இடையில் களிமண், ஆற்று மணல் போன்றவற்றையும் ருசித்து சாப்பிட்டு வருகிறார். தினமும் அரை கிலோவுக்கு மேலாக மண்ணை உணவாக உட்கொள்கிறார்.

எப்போது பார்த்தாலும் இவர் பேண்ட் பாக்கெட்களில் குறைந்த பட்சம் கால் கிலோவிற்கு மண்ணை சேமித்து வைத்து நாள் முழுவதும் சாப்பிட்டு வருகிறார். மணலை சாப்பிடும் போது மணலில் பெரிய கற்கள் இருந்தால் மட்டும் முடிவில் அவற்றை கீழே துப்பிவிடுகிறார்.

ஏரி களி மண்ணை மிகவும் விரும்பி சாப்பிடுகிறார். இது குறித்து அவர் கூறுகையில், “சிறு வயதில் இருந்து மண்ணை உணவாக சாப்பிடும் பழக்கம் உள்ளது. சிறு வயதில் குறைவான மண்ணை சாப்பிட்டு வந்தேன். பின், தினமும் அதிகமான மண்ணை சாப்பிட்டு வருகிறேன்.

இதனால் எனது உடம்பிற்கு எந்தப் பாதிப்பும் ஏற்பட்டதில்லை. மேலும், மண்ணை சாப்பிடுவதால் இயற்கை உபாதைகளிலும் இதுவரை எந்த பிரச்னையும் இல்லை. எனக்கு நாளுக்கு நாள் மண் சாப்பிடும் ஆர்வம் அதிகரித்து வருகிறதே தவிர குறையவில்லை’ என, மண்ணை சாப்பிட்டு கொண்டே கூலாக சொல்கிறார்.

SINGAPORE: Twenty-seven South Asian workers, including 24 Indians, were arrested today for alleged rioting in Singapore as its Prime Minister ordered a probe into the country's worst outbreak of violence in over 40 years.

Besides the Indians, two Bangladeshis and one Singapore permanent resident, whose origin was not known, were also arrested for last night's rioting, triggered by a road accident that killed an Indian worker.

At least 18 people, including 10 policemen, were injured when some 400 people attacked the police and damaged 16 vehicles in an Indian district here, police said.

The trouble started after a private bus fatally knocked down an Indian pedestrian, 33-year-old Sakthivel Kuaravelu, around 9:20pm at the junction of Race Course Road and Hampshire Road in Little India, a precinct of Indian-origin businesses, eateries and pubs where most of the South Asian workers take their Sunday break, they said.

All the 27 arrested are in the age-group of 23-45 and face charges under "rioting with dangerous weapons", punishable by up to seven years in prison as well as caning.

The Indian High Commission in Singapore said it was calling on all parties to remain calm following the riot.

"We understand the situation is under control and Singapore authorities have appealed for maintaining calm by all sections of society. We hope all parties will maintain calm," said the High Commission in a statement.

High Commissioner Vijay Thakur Singh said the High Commission was in constant touch with the Singapore authorities to ascertain the facts of the incidents.

Singh said the High Commission would inform the next of kin of Kumaravelu.

Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong conveyed his deepest condolences to the family of Kuaravelu and ordered a probe into the incident.

"I also offer my deepest condolences to the family of Mr Sakthivel Kumaravelu, who was killed in the traffic accident that preceded the riot.

"I have directed the Ministry of Home Affairs to convene a Committee of Inquiry (COI) to look into this serious incident. The COI will look into the factors that led to the incident and how the incident was handled on the ground," Lee said in a statement.

He said the riot was a very grave incident and his government would "spare no effort to identify the culprits and deal with them with the full force of the law."

Singapore previously witnessed violence of this scale during race riots in 1969.

The number of Americans working from home has jumped 41 percent since 1999, and that trend toward telecommuting or running a home-based business should continue to grow as technology continues to evolve. While the work-from-home lifestyle brings some significant perks, it’s not without challenges. You may not deal with the daily commute or rush-hour traffic, but there’s a new set of struggles that are unique to the home office. Here’s a breakdown of the top four pitfalls associated with working from home and how to overcome them.

1. You Can’t Stay Focused

It’s not easy to stay focused in the face of countless distractions, from the television to the dirty dishes waiting in the kitchen. And when you’re brand new to working at home, the first danger is that it’s hard to feel like you’re working, simply because you don’t associate your home environment with being at work.
Solution: Some people are expert multitaskers, gracefully alternating between work and household tasks or other distractions throughout the day. However, if you find your work productivity is suffering, you’ll need to come up with a more formal structure for your day. After all, you wouldn’t iron your clothes during the day if you were back at the office.
In an ideal case, you should create a dedicated area as your office (preferably with a door, so you can shut out unwanted distractions). At the very least, carve out a corner of a room just for work, so going there signals your brain that it’s time to get serious. If you find yourself stuck from time to time, try changing your environment by working at the café for an hour or taking a short walk outside. A change in scenery can bring you fresh focus.

2. You Lose Boundaries

When you’re working at a traditional office job, everyone seems to understand your work schedule. You don’t get many personal calls during the day. You’re not expected to handle all the daily errands. However, all those boundaries go out the window when you’re working from home.
Solution: This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t take advantage of the flexibility that comes with working from home. But you should think about how easy it is to have time ripped from your workday. Just because you work from home doesn’t mean your job is any less real than your office counterparts. The key here is to respect your own time and your schedule—because no one else will respect your boundaries if you don’t respect them first.

3. You Work Too Much

What’s the stereotype of working from home? Sleeping in, working in pajamas and easing through the day. However, the reality is usually far from that. People who work from home often work longer days simply because there’s no separation between work and home. When you’re working from home, you don’t pack up your computer; you don’t drive away from the office. Without a natural stopping point, the day gets longer and it’s harder to put work aside.
Solution: With most jobs, there’s always going to be more work to do. This means you need to self-regulate and be disciplined about setting a boundary between your work and personal life. This doesn’t have to be every night. However, if you’re serious about working from home for the long haul, you have to make the lifestyle sustainable. And that means you’ll need time away from the computer and stress of work.

4. You Feel Isolated

The solitude of working from home means fewer distractions and pesky office politics, but the physical separation from colleagues brings an inevitable sense of isolation. Everyone needs social interaction (albeit at varying levels), and working remotely limits your opportunities to connect with others. Many people don’t realize just how much they miss the day-to-day social interaction of the office until it’s gone.
Solution: When you’re working from home, you’ll need to manufacture those social interactions. For example:

• Make a point to schedule lunch or breakfast get-togethers.
• Use social networks such as Facebook or Twitter as your virtual “water cooler” during the day.
• When possible, use real-time communications like phone calls, Skype or chat instead of email.
• Get involved with local networking groups or meetups.
• Spend some time working in shared office spaces. Websites including LiquidSpace, ShareDesk, Deskwanted and WorkSnug can help you find a co-working space in major cities, and the shared office trend is catching on in smaller towns as well.

This is an exciting time, as technology is giving people more freedom to carve out their own work-styles and career paths. Don’t let these pitfalls deter you. If you want to strike out on your own as an independent worker or just telecommute from home a few days a week, go for it. Just be mindful that there are unique challenges associated with working from home, ones you probably never would have thought about while in the office.
