Failure Management 

Failure management encompasses a comprehensive set of practices aimed at addressing and mitigating issues or faults in systems, products, or processes. It begins with the detection of failures, whether through sensors, monitoring systems, or human observation, followed by a diagnostic phase to understand the underlying causes. Once identified, strategies are deployed to reduce the impact of the failure, which can involve immediate fixes or the implementation of redundancy measures. Furthermore, failure management emphasizes learning from failures to prevent their recurrence through improvements in design, processes, or training. Proper documentation and risk assessment play vital roles in this process, ensuring that organizations can effectively respond to and learn from failures to enhance reliability and safety.
Failure management involves the systematic identification and diagnosis of faults or issues in systems.

It is followed by the implementation of effective mitigation strategies to minimize their impact.

Proper documentation and risk assessment are integral components of failure management, aiding in the development of strategies to prevent future failures and maintain the integrity of systems and processes.

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
