Having a bad boss could be bad for your heart

Having a bad boss could be bad for your heart. Working for a bad boss is a daily nightmare for the workers. The researchers analyzed data on the health of 3000 male workers. The poor managers can increase the employee to develop heart disease. The workers who respected their bosses were healthier and had fewer heart problems. So, the company should be re-train bosses to improve worker health. A more supportive and understanding boss would reduce the chance of workers developing high blood pressure and stress-related illness.Investing in providing leadership skills to senior managers could be a good long-term investment.

Bad Boss

I had worked for almost a year last year, but I had a pretty nice boss in my office. The company was so small, we only had four employees in the in office, so everybody was so nice and always make jokes. I don't know what is the feeling while you are facing a mine boss, but I can image that will be very aweful. I hope everyone who read that article will figure out how to treat your own boss.

Chinese Milk Scandal (T)

I'm not so suprised about this scandal because i have seen similer cases in korea.
The milk was made by cinese company, Sanlu group, made problems with babies and children. Cause of Sanlu's milk products, they have diseases.Sufferers are not only babies and children also so many people who use Sanlu's milk products. For this scandal, all of chinese company lost customer's confidence. Chinese government will punish Sanlu group. However, if they dont change their mind about thier management mind, they would not get customer's confidence any more.
Im really sorry for sufferers.

The reason was the deadly melamine chemical in its baby powder. Melamine increases the level of protein in milk. so,mamy countries banning Chinese milk imoprts. Starbucks coffee chain in China has reacted quickly. A company spokesman said this was a precaution that was due to the serious nature .

Milk scandal in china

Nowdays chinese are losting confidence about their daily products after milk scandal.
The biggest daily company in china , Sanlu Group, added melamin which is a poisonous material in milk to increase protein's level. Many parent are furious and upset because their children need operation to remove stone from their kidneys. The chinese government said that the company will be pumished, but chinese consumer's hutting will be last for a long time.

RESPONSIBILITY

In China,almost 6500 babies and childeren become ill and four died.
Of course all parents are afraid and nervous for their childeren because
of milk company.
That is a big scandal and unfortunately kids are already has trouble.i think
all company company have to be responseble and they have to test their products
before selling. In this case,i can say that they are using bad product to more
income.The goverment should close them and also they have to pay who got sick.
The reason,6500 babies are sick and and i think it is not frist and not last.

Daily product from China

Chinese consumers have lost their confident about country's daily product because milk powder makers adding a poisonous plastic and the melamine chemical in its baby powder.There are almost 6,500 children have become ill and four children have died.Many parents are upset because their kids have to operate their kidney.The Chinese government found ten per cent of the items it tested contained melamine.

Chinese milk scandal ( Tran,Quy )

Consumers are losing confidence in chinese dairy industry. the goverment had found out that milk powder makers had been adding a poisonous plastic compound ,calls melamine to milk's product. In fact, almost 6500 babies and children has become ill and four have died because of kidney failure.the crisis has not only happened in china but also in Malaysia , Singapore ,Japan ,...a lot of coffee shops in china stop using milk,and supermarkets completely clear their chelves of domestic milk products. Officals have calmed down consumers that they will punish those responsible for the scandal.

Confidence in Chinese milk turns sour

This is about the milk makers they want to increase the level of protein in milk so they put the melamine in the milk in China. It cost 6,500 children have become ill and four kids died. The comsumers are lose their confidents for country's dairy products. The Chinese government promise they will punish the responer for this mistake. These dairy products also spread to China's borders, like japan and singaport and malaysia, so they banning the milk from China. Starbucks express This event is affecting their business so they decided to stop to put the milk into their products.


Maggie Chang

Chinese milk scandal

Chinese dairy didustry is falling because of milk products scandal. A lot of babis will get a ill even four have died. These milk product make serious problem in baby's kedney.
The chinese goverment has been covering this situation. This scandal has affected to the dairy market and items. For example, Starbucks coffe chain has stoped using milk.

Milk powder made in China

Chinese people don't believe their country's dairy products. Some Asian countries are also banning Chinese dairy products import because milk power makers mixed some melamine powder with the milk powder. Consumers did not know about that before and they bought and fed the children everyday. And then many infants and children became ill and some were died. So many infants suffer kidney failure. Parents are very angry for that because their children are very young. Why they put melamine powder in the milk power? I think they did it very bad because of money. Some business people look only about their profit, they want to make more profit and more money. What in the world? The government should punish seriously on that kind of business people and they deserve for all punishments. They are very dangerous for the society.

Dairy products in China

The China's dairy industry is influenced very serious after the scandal of their biggest company, the Sanlu Group. The Sanlu Group company had added the kind of melamine to milk in order to increase level of protein which is really a kind of poison. It's just because when it is absorbed into body, it combined with some chemical in body to produce the solid sources like stone.The consumers who have little children are furious and upset. The government had to do many things to help the dairy industry in their country and in all over the world.

Poisonous Milk

I have read this news last year already. It was talking about the milk which was produced in China was poisonous. The Sanlu Group Company had put some kind of chemical called melamine which can raise the level of protein into the milk. When people drink it, it will combin with the material that in your body and tranforms itself into a stone and stays in your kidneys. It is very painful and can be deadly.

After a week, another news said that not only the milk has melamin but other dairy products, such as chocolate, cookie, ice-cream, etc. It makes people don't want to buy anything is produced by milk. We had seen the news reported some food that have melamine every day. I felt so angry because I can believe that somebody they earn money by killing other people. At last, the CEO of Sanlu Group Company and a couple men had capitial punlishment in China. I think that is the pay-back they should have.

Raven Kan

Confidence in chinese milk turn sour - Shin, DC

One chinese company put some danger chemical into the milk and distributed to the market.

People are called as a name of Melanine.

It is a kind of fake protein. They mixed it with real milk to get more properties.

Milk used to be comsumed for baby. So many babies are affected by that criminal acts.

It can cause a kindey stone. Many pure chinese babies mightbe need to get a surgery to get rid of it from their body.

The company also exported the material to border countries. So maleisya and japan tried to recall their products form market after contacting the harmful information of milk.

Many chinese comsumer were lost a confidence form their routine dairy milk purchases.
