ppliers, according to a slide presentation reviewed by The New York Times.
The air-safety regulator initiated the examination after a door panel blew off a 737 MAX 9 during an Alaska Airlines flight in early January. Last week, the agency announced that the audit had found “multiple instances” in which Boeing and the supplier, Spirit AeroSystems, failed to comply with quality-control requirements, though it did not provide specifics about the findings.
The presentation reviewed by the Times, though highly technical, offers a more detailed picture of what the audit turned up. Since the Alaska Airlines episode, Boeing has come under intense scrutiny over its quality-control practices, and the findings add to the body of evidence about manufacturing lapses at the company.
For the portion of the examination focused on Boeing, the FAA conducted 89 product audits, a type of review that looks at aspects of the production process. The plane maker passed 56 of the audits and failed 33 of them, with a total of 97 instances of alleged noncompliance, according to the presentation.

w is self-justifying. It makes a (quite spurious) claim to "objectivity" in such a way
as to exclude human experience and knowing from any possibility of delivering the "truth".
The objectivity is spurious because that choice of perspective is a subjective one. Perhaps more
importantly, it is quite simply out of touch with the scientific nature of reality. Remember, we
have used science itself both in our method and our reasoning, to establish that the "mind"
and the "matter" are not in any way separable.
Put another way, we have provided scientific evidence for the existence of
those things which people describe as "spirit", "essence" and "soul".

fully, you will notice that it is drawn in one single line without a beginning or an end, suggesting a continuous movement of time.
The Celts also believed that all important things came in three phases such as birth, death and rebirth; or mind, body, and spirit.
This symbol gives me an idea of our existence and the truth of our nature of being. We often try to perceive present occurrence from one point of view. Nevertheless, the present is a “hair’s breadth” of a moment, which was the future a moment ago and is already becoming the past. In this world, we are all connected, interact and inter-depend on each other; no phenomenon can exist by itself. Our life exists within the cycle of cause and effect. The important thing is to see things as a whole and to be present in each moment.
Then we can find harmony in our relationships in this world.…

Love is pure, simple, kind, sweet, passionate, giving, receiving, peaceful; it is the journey of onesspirit in connection to ones soul, in connection to the soul of another. One Soul.
Love fly’s through the depths of being, having no limitations, no place in bondage.
Love is energy waiting to be freed.
Love is eternal.
Love has no beginning; love has no end.
Love simply is.

elled with me in duty to this haven, that I commend my soul to Him above, duly considering the certainty of death and the comfort it may bring, that they despair not.
For the pattern of life shall continue and man shall learn more as to his welfare and conduct and shall benefit as he may wish from my humble investigations.
But THE greatest bond in life is LOVE , and that should receive a fuller understanding and be the basis of righteousness in all dealings between man and woman. That is the great mystery which can provide the logic for our being in this world, and it is more substantial than the creation of machines or weapons.
Dreams are the passionate release of our souls, and in them is the spirit contained by which we should preserve and fulfill our lives, so that in death we will have acquitted our dues and not been envious of others."

e complex the system is, the greater the risk of systemic breakdowns.
When we look at our governance systems, above all global governance, we see the stress symptoms of leaders who are having difficulty in coping with the complexities of today's world. The sub-prime and Euro economic crises are primary examples of the unintended consequences resulting from actions taken in unchartered territories. Today, the whole world, inclusive of G20 countries, is consumed by fire-fighting rather than fire prevention and mitigation. But there's a tipping point where velocity, interconnectivity and complexity become so pervasive that the whole system collapses, regardless of whether certain elements at the surface of the system are fixed. We may not have the foresight and collaborative spirit to shape our global future, but at least we should have the survival instinct to move from pure urgency-driven risk management to much more collaborative efforts aimed at strengthening our risk resilience.
This implies a multi-stakeholder effort by governments, business, science and civil society to create a much more appropriate global rules-bases system. This should at best guarantee that the complexity of the system is not exploited for the individual gain to the detriment of global society.

rmonise the spirit with the essence of all things both animate and inanimate. The wonder of Nature and Mans place in it can be appreciated as much for what is absent as for what is present. The old, weathered stones chosen and placed with great care are set on a bed of gravel that is raked anew daily, so that the garden dies and is reborn each day in accordance with the Zen tradition. Interpretation of these odd-numbered stone groupings varies, and is ultimately a matter for the beholder.
In placing the Zen garden further away from the Teahouse, with its own viewing house and a mountain before it, we enhanced the feeling of tranquility and separation from the rest of the garden. Behind it lies a new area created from the wild woodland that extends beyond and remains undisturbed and inaccessible. Sitting in the Zen Viewing House one hears the music of the numerous birds that frequent the area, the sound of the breeze ruffling the trees and chimes and, occasionally, the lowing of cattle or bleating of sheep on the adjacent farm.…
