Yet more Boeing shoddy sloppy uselessness?


Virgin Galactic countersues Boeing...

... “The quality of the IBR Boeing conducted was so poor that Virgin Galactic and Boeing agreed that Boeing was required to redo the review,” the complaint states. The second IBR was even worse, Virgin said, providing less than half of the required deliverables...



... And what else?

Another "Starliner"...?

Have Boeing enjoyed ANY successful projects in the last decade???


Fly safe???

Carlos,

That all sounds all oh so healthy! Have good green fun!!


Meanwhile in a different world:

All work and too little play. At least progress is being made.

At least I'm eating healthy for this meal!...

Fake meat can cause real health risks — experts call for caution amid plant-based craze
Research published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition compared the impacts of protein alternatives, scientifically known as plant-based meat analogues, or PBMAs, to actual meat dishes — and the experts didn’t necessarily like what they found.

Thanks for that, and all rather curious...

... All very suspicious for the style and source of that article...

So... We have a very obvious click-bait article from the New York Post, that is resplendent with contradictory click-bait in that very same article... Very good for total confusion...


So, lets have a look at the science paper itself:

Plant-based meat analogues (PBMAs) and their effects on cardiometabolic health: An 8-week randomized controlled trial comparing PBMAs with their corresponding animal-based foods

Unusually, that paper is not pay-walled. It is freely readable. Hence, sponsored?

The actual research is for:

... effects on health is warranted in an Asian population ... on cardiometabolic health among adults with elevated risk of diabetes in Singapore...

And hence the health of those people will be especially sensitive to certain types of foods. (Asians are the most predisposed to diabetic health problems.)

Only 89 participants in the trial, which is a rather small (select) grouping.

And for the study, we have the important details "maintaining intake of other dietary components", "Using linear mixed-effects model"...

The results were a very mixed bag with some things being better, some worse, and other measures showing no significance. Nothing notable/drastic stands out.

Hence the conclusion is:

"A plant-based meat analogues diet did not show widespread cardiometabolic health benefits compared with omnivorous diets over 8 weeks".





That is a very biased wording to say there is nothing of significance.

There also appears to have been no control over what else the participants ate...

So, for comparing a processed plant-based product against meat, there's nothing of significance to compare, other than that the meat/plant-based-meat foodstuffs are obviously not a healthy Mediterranean diet in themselves!


All very suspicious and to my mind and my own personal reading, very suspiciously a sponsored paper...


Eat healthy folks!

Under a bright overcast. The sunshine must be up there somewhere.

And... Gaining access to get the job done is almost like an Indiana Jones archaeological 'adventure'... We're only two days behind where we'd like to be.

Meanwhile, a manager has asked why we can't "just do it"... There is no comprehension there that 30+ years have intervened and there's a lot of 'hubris' to undo and greatly improve upon...

New ways can be a very healthy Good New Way...

(However, doubt we'll get enough time for the sort of training needed to be given for good operations... Will 'good enough' be good enough?...)


All good fun.

4 Takeaways About Boeing’s Quality Problems
wrote:
... Interviews with more than two dozen current and former employees reveal longstanding concerns about quality, particularly as pressure increased to keep production going in the company’s factories.

Now, Boeing faces an immense challenge as it seeks to make changes that improve the quality of its products and regain its credibility...

... Quality issues date back years...

... The company has lost thousands of experienced workers...

... A six-week F.A.A. audit of Boeing’s 737 Max production documented dozens of lapses in quality-control practices...

... The company also said that since Jan. 5, employees had asked for more training and that it was working on meeting those needs...

... And on Monday, Boeing announced sweeping changes to its leadership...

Boeing somehow managed to get itself into even bigger trouble...
wrote:
... Boeing has achieved the unthinkable this week: It managed to fall even deeper into crisis.

Adding to an already miserable start to 2024, Boeing stood accused Tuesday of routinely ignoring a whistleblower’s complaints about the allegedly critically flawed manufacturing process...



Meanwhile, will any of the previous and existing 'leadership' pick up their responsibilities and be brought to book and imprisoned for their actions or lack of care and lack of concern for life?...
