pound: A measure of weight and mass derived from the ancient Roman "libra" (= 327.25 grams), but very [often] modified in the course of ages in different countries, and ... used for different classes of things; in Great Britain, now fixed for use in trade by a Parliamentary standard. Denoted by "lb." (Latin "libra"). Formerly used without change in the pl., a usage still sometimes retained after a numeral, esp. dial. and colloq., also in comb. as "a five pound note," "a twenty pound shot." This pound consisted originally of 12 ounces, corresponding more or less to that of troy weight, which contains 5760 grains = 373.26 grams. This is still used by goldsmiths and jewellers in stating the weight of gold, silver, and precious stones, but as early as the thirteenth or fourteenth century, a pound of sixteen ounces was in use for more bulky commodities. This was made a standard for general purposes of trade by Edward III, and known as the pound "aveir de peis," i.e. of merchandise of weight, now called "avoirdupois." This pound of 16 ounces, containing 7000 grains = 453.6 grams, has been since 1826 the only legal pound for buying or selling any commodity in Great Britain. In former times, the pound varied locally from 12 to 27 ounces, according to the commodity, pounds of different weight being often used in the same place for different articles such as bread, butter, cheese, meat, malt, hay, wool ... The Scotch pound of 16 ounces of Troy or Dutch Weight consisted of 7608.9496 grains; the Tron pound kept at Edinburgh = 9622.67 grains. "Pound" is also used to translate foreign names of weights, of cognate origin or representatives of Latin "libra." These vary greatly: in Italy, between 300 and 350 grams, in Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands and some German states, between 459 and 469 grams, and in other German states, Denmark, etc., between 477 and 510.22 grams. But the standard German "Pfund" is now 500 grams, i.e. half a kilogram.  10, record 2, English, - pound

Le Canada a officiellement adopté le système métrique en 1970. Les unités métriques (grammes, kilogrammes, centimètres, mètres, kilomètres, litres, etc.) remplacent les traditionnelles unités impériales également utilisées par les États-Unis (livre, pouces, pieds, verges, milles, pintes, etc.). Cependant, la résistance de son principal partenaire commercial, les États-Unis, à l'adoption du système métrique, ainsi que la résistance dans la population au nouveau système ont fait que le Canada vit toujours, en 2014, avec les deux systèmes, le Système international (SI) et le système impérial.

The Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment, convened by the United Nations in 1972 to consider the condition of the environment, called for an international mechanism for the exchange of environmental information. The result was The International Referral System(IRS), later renamed INFOTERRA, The Global Environmental Information Exchange Network, established in 1975 by a decision of the third session of the Governing Council of UNEP. Together with IRPTC, the Global Environmental Monitoring System(GEMS) and the Global Resource Information Database(GRID), INFOTERRA is a complement of UNEP's Earthwatch Programme and therefore plays an important part in fulfilling UNEP's global mandate of monitoring, assessment and dissemination of information on the environment, catalysing and spurring others to action at international, regional and national levels.  1, record 29, English, - The%20Global%20Environmental%20Information%20Exchange%20Network
