. Ptolemy's other main work is his Geography (also called the Geographia) a compilation of geographical coordinates of the part of the world known to the Roman Empire during his time He relied somewhat on the work of an earlier geographer Marinos of Tyre and on gazetteers of the Roman and ancient Persian Empire.[citation needed] He also acknowledged ancient astronomer Hipparchus for having provided the elevation of the north celestial pole for a few cities, More important than its influence on countries' policy of student assessment is the range of ways in which PISA is influencing countries education policy choices, 1.2 Post-separation Mountbatten served his final posting at the Admiralty as First Sea Lord and Chief of the Naval Staff from April 1955 to July 1959 the position which his father had held some forty years prior This was the first time in Royal Naval history that a father and son had both attained such high rank.

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, Government-aided 28 Pig's brain soup (???; zhu nao tang) a soup dish comprising pig brain with Chinese herbs; Singapore business directory Bedok NEWater Factory Bedok 2002 19 million imperial gallons (86,000 m3) PUB. .
