Ald is an old Mongolian measure equal to the length between a man's outstretched arms. An ald is therefore approximately equal to 160cm.
History
In 1818, G. I. Spassky, a Russian scientist specialising in Siberian studies, published in the newspaper "Sibirskii Vestnik", the first report about a stone with oriental inscriptions on it dating back to the early 13th Century. Spassky had found the stone in a factory of Nerchinsk (Eastern Siberia), but the stone was originally discovered in the Kharkhiraa River.
This stone stele is the most ancient monument known with the traditional Mongolian script. The stone is now known as Ghengis stone or the Yesüngge Inscription. The inscription is dedicated to Yesüngge, the son of Genghis Khan's brother Hasar. In 1225, Yesüngge took part in a warriors' competition, hitting the target from a distance of 335 ald (a shooting range in excess of half a kilometre (536m)).

A phase II trial for advanced cancer is due to end in Oct 2009. Results due June 2010. Results from 124 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients were favourable (e.g. 1/10 the weight loss).
It may be trialed in a dual therapy with Tarceva owing to a likely synergy.
Rheumatoid arthritis

The results are to be presented in June 2010 at the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) meeting in Rome. Results showed that ALD518 in addition to MTX performs markedly better
than MTX + placebo with a maximum ACR score, (ACR70, i.e. >70% of joints improved), after 16 weeks .

Units of alcohol are used in the United Kingdom (UK) as a measure to quantify the actual alcoholic content within a given volume of an alcoholic beverage, in order to provide guidance on total alcohol consumption.
A number of other countries (including Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the US) use the concept of a "standard drink", the definition of which varies from country to country, for the same purpose. "Standard drinks" were referred to in the first UK guidelines (1984) that published "safe limits" for drinking, but these were replaced by references to "alcohol units" in the 1987 guidelines and the latter term has been used in all subsequent UK guidance.
One unit of alcohol (UK) is defined as 10 millilitres (8 grams) of pure alcohol. Typical drinks (i.e. typical quantities or servings of common alcoholic beverages) may contain 1–3 units of alcohol.
Containers of alcoholic beverages sold directly to UK consumers are normally labelled to indicate the number of units of alcohol in a typical serving of the beverage (optional) and in the full container (can or bottle), as well as information about responsible drinking. Additionally, the advent of smartphones has led to the creation of apps which report the number of units contained in an alcoholic drink.
Military organization or military organisation is the structuring of the armed forces of a state so as to offer military capability required by the national defense policy. In some countries paramilitary forces are included in a nation's armed forces, though not considered military. Armed forces that are not a part of military or paramilitary organizations, such as insurgent forces, often mimic military organizations, or use ad hoc structures.
Military organization is hierarchical. The use of formalized ranks in a hierarchical structure came into widespread use with the Roman Army. In modern times, executive control, management and administration of military organization is typically undertaken by the government through a government department within the structure of public administration, often known as a Ministry of Defense, Department of Defense, or Department of War. These in turn manage Armed Services that themselves command combat, combat support and service support formations and units.
