A Short Singapore Mk III flying boat similar to those operated by 205 Sqn, Contents 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, In the 2015 International Baccalaureate exams taken in 107 countries Singapore students fared best with more than half of the world's 81 perfect scorers and 98% passing rate in the 2016 EF English Proficiency Index taken in 72 countries Singapore place 6th and has been the only Asian country in the top ten.

None of the models developed so far succeed to explain exchange rates and volatility in the longer time frames For shorter time frames (less than a few days) algorithms can be devised to predict prices It is understood from the above models that many macroeconomic factors affect the exchange rates and in the end currency prices are a result of dual forces of supply and demand The world's currency markets can be viewed as a huge melting pot: in a large and ever-changing mix of current events supply and demand factors are constantly shifting and the price of one currency in relation to another shifts accordingly No other market encompasses (and distills) as much of what is going on in the world at any given time as foreign exchange.
