(69.4) 19.7 Human activities can also change earth's climate and are presently driving climate change through global warming. There is no general agreement in scientific media or policy documents as to the precise term to be used to refer to anthropogenic forced change; either "global warming" or "climate change" may be used the first describes the average effect on a global scale whilst the second describes how different geographical regions are affected differently. Literature of Singapore or SingLit comprises a collection of literary works by Singaporeans written chiefly in the country's four official languages: English Malay Standard Mandarin and Tamil It is increasingly regarded as having four sub-literatures instead of one Many significant works has been translated and showcased in publications such as the literary journal Singa published in the 1980s and 1990s with editors including Edwin Thumboo and Koh Buck Song as well as in multilingual anthologies such as Rhythms: a Singaporean Millennial Anthology Of Poetry (2000) in which the poems were all translated three times each into the three languages A number of Singaporean writers such as Tan Swie Hian and Kuo Pao Kun have contributed work in more than one language although such cross-linguistic fertilisation is becoming increasingly rare.[citation needed]. The name Claudius is a Roman name belonging to the gens Claudia; the peculiar multipart form of the whole name Claudius Ptolemaeus is a Roman custom characteristic of Roman citizens Several historians have made the deduction that this indicates that Ptolemy would have been a Roman citizen. Gerald Toomer the translator of Ptolemy's Almagest into English suggests that citizenship was probably granted to one of Ptolemy's ancestors by either the emperor Claudius or the emperor Nero. .

4 Terminals 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.

While the Singapore government has taken a stance against minimum wage and unemployment benefit schemes in 2007 the government introduced a Workfare Income Supplement (WIS) scheme to supplement wages of low-skilled workers in order to support employers in hiring older Singaporean workers Special Employment Credit (SEC) was introduced in 2011 It was first enhanced in 2012 to provide employers with support in hiring older Singaporean workers and Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) It helped the employers to cope with costs associated with the increase in Central Provident Fund (CPF) contribution rates for older workers The 5 year SEC scheme was further extended to additional 3 years up to 2019 to encourage employers to voluntarily re-employ older workers aged 65 and above. The different types of policy are also called monetary regimes in parallel to exchange-rate regimes A fixed exchange rate is also an exchange-rate regime; the gold standard results in a relatively fixed regime towards the currency of other countries on the gold standard and a floating regime towards those that are not Targeting inflation the price level or other monetary aggregates implies floating the exchange rate unless the management of the relevant foreign currencies is tracking exactly the same variables (such as a harmonized consumer price index).
