. 1 Etymology rank Maths Science, Because Ptolemy derived many of his key latitudes from crude longest day values his latitudes are erroneous on average by roughly a degree (2 degrees for Byzantium 4 degrees for Carthage) though capable ancient astronomers knew their latitudes to more like a minute (Ptolemy's own latitude was in error by 14'.) He agreed (Geography 1.4) that longitude was best determined by simultaneous observation of lunar eclipses yet he was so out of touch with the scientists of his day that he knew of no such data more recent than 500 years before (Arbela eclipse) When switching from 700 stadia per degree to 500 he (or Marinos) expanded longitude differences between cities accordingly (a point first realized by P Gosselin in 1790) resulting in serious over-stretching of the Earth's east-west scale in degrees though not distance Achieving highly precise longitude remained a problem in geography until the application of Galileo's Jovian moon method in the 18th century It must be added that his original topographic list cannot be reconstructed: the long tables with numbers were transmitted to posterity through copies containing many scribal errors and people have always been adding or improving the topographic data: this is a testimony to the persistent popularity of this influential work in the history of cartography, 5.1 Dewan Negara (Senate) List of aircraft. . In 1990 Goh Chok Tong succeeded Lee and became Singapore's second Prime Minister. During Goh's tenure the country went through some post-independence crises such as the 1997 Asian financial crisis and the 2003 SARS outbreak! . .
. . 11.2 Landmarks Gardens and gardening have a special place in Singaporean culture as well as in politics Historically this is all officially attributed to Lee Kuan Yew who apparently spearheaded this philosophy in 1963. In a rare interview with Monty Don shown in the TV series Around the World in 80 Gardens Lee Kuan Yew reveals that after visits to other big Asian cities such as Hong Kong and Bangkok he feared that Singapore would turn into another concrete jungle and he decided that gardens and parks should be established everywhere and made this a priority of the government, In August 1941 Mountbatten was appointed captain of the aircraft carrier HMS Illustrious which lay in Norfolk Virginia for repairs following action at Malta in the Mediterranean in January. During this period of relative inactivity he paid a flying visit to Pearl Harbor three months before the Japanese attack on the US naval base there Mountbatten appalled at the base's lack of preparedness drawing on Japan's history of launching wars with surprise attacks as well as the successful British surprise attack at the Battle of Taranto which had effectively knocked Italy's fleet out of the war and the sheer effectiveness of aircraft against warships accurately predicted that the US entry into the war would begin with a Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor.
