Fall of Great Empires: Storm Over Persia. 2,500 years ago Persia was a great empire; regarded as the forerunner of the Roman Empire. However in spite of its size and strength it had an adversary that would seal its doom. Persia’s nemesis was a smaller empire - Macedonia; ruled by Alexander The Great.

This documentary shows how the failure of one king can lead to the downfall of a whole empire and how Alexander could manage to win against his superior enemy - The Persians. The Persian Empire was formed under Cyrus the Great, who took over the empire of the Medes, and conquered much of the Middle East, including the territories of the Babylonians, Assyrians, the Phoenicians, and the Lydians. Cambyses, Son of Cyrus the Great, continued his conquests by conquering Egypt. The Achaemenid Persian Empire was ended during the Wars of Alexander the Great, but Persian Empire arose again under the Parthian and Sassanid Empires of Iran, followed by Iranian post-Islamic Empires like Safavids, up to the modern day Iran. The Search for Life: The Drake Equation. For many years our place in the universe was the subject of theologians and philosophers, not scientists, but in 1960 one man changed all that.

Dr Frank Drake was one of the leading lights in the new science of radio astronomy when he did something that was not only revolutionary, but could have cost him his career. Working at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in Greenback in Virginia, he pointed one of their new 25-meter radio telescopes at a star called Tau Ceti twelve light years from earth, hoping for signs of extra-terrestrial intelligence. Although project Ozma resulted in silence, it did result in one of the most seminal equations in the history of science - the Drake Equation - which examined seven key elements necessary for ET intelligence to exist, from the formation of stars to the likely length a given intelligent civilization may survive. However, in the 50 years of listening that has followed, not one single bleep has been heard from ET. Dimensions: A Walk Through Mathematics. A film for a wide audience! Nine chapters, two hours of maths, that take you gradually up to the fourth dimension.

Mathematical vertigo guaranteed! Dimension Two - Hipparchus shows us how to describe the position of any point on Earth with two numbers... and explains the stereographic projection: how to draw a map of the world. Dimension Three - M.C. Escher talks about the adventures of two-dimensional creatures trying to imagine what three-dimensional objects look like. The Fourth Dimension - Mathematician Ludwig Schläfli talks about objects that live in the fourth dimension... and shows a parade of four-dimensional polytopes, strange objects with 24, 120 and even 600 faces! Complex Numbers - Mathematician Adrien Douady explains complex numbers. Fibration - Mathematician Heinz Hopf explains his "fibration". Proof - Mathematician Bernhard Riemann explains the importance of proofs in mathematics. Watch the full documentary now (playlist - ) Telecom - Tool Kits, Test Equipment & Tools.

Software Testing Methodologies. Software testing is an integral part of the software development life cycle (SDLC). Testing a piece of code effectively and efficiently is equally important, if not more, to writing it. Software testing is nothing but subjecting a piece of code, to both, controlled and uncontrolled operating conditions, in an attempt to simply observe the output, and then examine whether it is in accordance with certain pre-specified conditions. Different sets of test cases and testing strategies are prepared, all of which are aimed at achieving one common goal - removing bugs and errors from the code, and making the software error-free, and capable of providing accurate and optimum output. There are different types of techniques and methodologies involved in this testing. In the following Buzzle article, we'll take a look at the various software testing techniques and methodologies that are in practice today.

Acceptance Testing System Testing Integration Testing Unit Testing. Testing Methodologies. Microsoft Corporation January 2005 Summary: An introduction to various test methodologies with an example around test-driven development Contents Objectives Overview Software Development Methodologies and Testing Steps in Test-Driven Development Agile Testing: Example Summary Objectives Look at the various methodologies for testing software. Overview There are numerous methodologies available for developing and testing software. The Configuration Management Application Block (CMAB) is used to illustrate concepts in this chapter.

It provides the functionality to read and store configuration information transparently in persistent storage media. Software Development Methodologies and Testing Various generic software development life cycle methodologies are available for executing software development projects. Waterfall Model The waterfall model is one of the earliest structured models for software development. System feasibility. The waterfall model has the following advantages: Prototyping Model. A Machine to Die For: The Quest for Free Energy. The QA Tester. The QA Tester is the heart and soul of the software development process. Each project team member has their role to play; each has their own unique challenges. The successful Quality Assurance Tester gains respect by holding the bar high, carrying the Standard, and being the champion for the level of quality (product and otherwise) throughout the organization.

Although not often granted the authority to officially prevent software from shipping, the tester is nonetheless in the best position to know the current project state at any given time. The final “go / no-go” call to ship or not may be left to the QA Lead, or the QA Manager, or perhaps even a project manager, but the input they receive from the tester is critical. Is becoming a Software Quality Assurance Tester easy? Actually yes, it is fairly easy. There are many entry-level positions open all the time in the testing arm of the software industry. The “hard part” is keeping the job once you have been hired. Why Become a QA Tester? How to build a memory palace - SuperStruct Instructables Series. Hello, and welcome to this Instructable. In the following pages, we'll take a look at the basics of how to use a branch of the "method of ''loci''" to store information in your memory as efficiently as possible for short and/or long periods of time - to be more exact, we'll focus on "memory palaces".

I've been studying memory palaces for about twelve years now, mainly because my own memory has been degrading ever since my late teens. I'm not quite sure of the origins of memory palaces and in all honesty, there has been so much written on the subject for such a long time that sorting pure fantasy from plausible theories would be quite the epic task. Still, the most common legendary origin about these makes for an interesting reading and if you live in an area of the world where one can access offline, validated versions of Wikipedia I definitely suggest you take a look at the relevant articles when you'll be done reading this Instructable, or even before continuing.
