14. Definition of Meter • One ten-millionth of the distance between the North Pole and the equator at the longitude of Paris (1799) • The distance between precision marks on a new 'X' shaped 90% platinum 10% iridium bar at 0 °C (1889)

15. Meter • Wavelength of light emitted by the krypton-86 isotope (1960) • The present speed of light is defined as 299,792,458 metres per second (in a vacuum) and is used to indirectly calculate the length of the metre (1983)

16. Liter (litre) • A litre is defined as a special name for a cubic decimetre (1 L = 1 dm3 = 103cm3). Hence 1 L ≡ 0.001 m3 (exactly). So 1,000 L = 1 m3 • From 1901 to 1964 the litre was defined as the volume of one kilogram of pure water at 4°C and 760 millimetres of mercury pressure. During this time, a litre was about 1.000028 dm3. In 1964 this definition was abandoned in favour of the current one.

38. EDA in Poland Dear Professor Goldik,: Dear Zeev In conjunction with our previous talks with You and the President of ESA, Sir Peter Simpson and following your meeting with representatives of the Polish Ministry of Health, the Director of the Centre of Medical Examinations, the National Advisor in Anaesthesiology and Intensive Therapy, and the Board of the Polish Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Therapy, I am declaring readiness to introduce written part of the European Diploma in Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care (EDA) as a part of the Polish National Exam in Anaesthesiology and Intensive Therapy since autumn, 2008.

40. Netherlands Last Monday the Council of the Netherlands Society of Anaesthesiology has discussed the modernized national training program of Anaesthesiology, of which I had the privilege to be one of the architects. Starting the implementation of this program, it was realized that the old exam structure had to be renewed as well. Then the discussion was started whether the European Diploma would not be a very good alternative. The result is that theCouncil last week decided to recommend the Board of the Netherlands Society to adopt the European Diploma.I guess therefore that you may expect a message from the Netherlands Society in due course.
