Shredder accident
I heard about the news of shredder's accidents. It was accident that some infants were cut off there fingers by shredder. The accident brought a problem into relief; the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry recognized only one case, but there were other three cases of same kind of accidents at least. What a awful problem it is. Not only the accident itself, but also the blunder of the companies is so terrible. It can make slower the solution of accidents not to inform the problem to all other related companies or institution. The precise standard of the mouth's width of shredders have not been defined still now, and just such a delay may have relations with the non-informing system more or less. Such selfish behaviors of adults sometimes make danger of infants or children. All producers of any products have to consider the possibility of being dangerous for someone. It is no wonder that shredder's producers have to do that because shuredder is obviously dangerous machine.

Cake upside down
I found a sale of cakes at a supermarket. All cakes were 50yen!! I could not help rushing into the event. There were 6 or seven kinds of cakes. Though I wanted to conquer all cakes, it was impossible for me bicycle rider to carry two or more packs of cake and other foods. I bought a sesame mousse, custard pudding, shortcake and cheesecake. On the way home, I was very careful not to mix up the inside of the box. As soon as getting home, I opened the box to eat one. I was shocked very much. The sesame mousse was upside down!! I struggled to rescue the lapping mousse. The picture shows my effort. It may looks sick, but the taste was very good.
