C100 BSc (Hons) 3 years
If you want a broad-based degree covering the whole of the biological sciences from human disease to ecology and evolution, this is the programme to choose. In your first year, you will cover subjects including genetics, evolution, physiology and biochemistry. In the second and final years, you can either retain this broad approach or specialise.
Those interested in ecology, conservation or animal biology might take advantage of our wide range of field courses – for example, studying large mammals in South Africa or ecological interactions in Croatia – while others might prefer to opt for modules in neuroscience, developmental biology or the molecular basis of disease. Students who want to study a broad range of subjects will enjoy the great flexibility that this programme offers.
Our programme gives you the opportunity to gain practical, real-world skills and experience through in-depth laboratory practicals and a range of residential field courses. Our strong emphasis on fieldwork offers students a wide range of opportunities in the UK and abroad, including:
- Ecological studies in Kruger Park, South Africa - View photos from our Kruger Park fieldtrip
- Hunting dinosaur fossils in Canada - View photos from our field trip to Canada
- Studying turtles, seals, whales, and dolphins in Millport, Scotland
You can view more photos from our recent field trips on our Flickr page.
Important discoveries
On a recent trip to Canada, as part of the optional final year module Species and their relationships: dinosaurs to DNA, students made an important dinosaur discovery. The rare hadrosaur skull they unearthed is now housed in the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Pathology. Watch our video from the trip:
Research and teaching
By choosing to study at a Russell Group university, you will have access to excellent teaching and top class research. You will be taught by staff who are actively involved in research, who are enthusiastic about their subjects and sharing their knowledge with you.

This programme includes one compulsory and several elective module with a field course component. Field courses generally require your attendance at a location away from Queen Mary and outside of the normal teaching semesters.
We do everything we can to minimise any additional costs that may be incurred during your studies. Complusory fieldwork will not cost you anything extra. For optional overseas fieldwork, you will need to contribute up to £150, plus the cost of your flight (based on costs in the year 2016/17). Full and partial bursaries are available. Destinations can vary year-on-year, are subject to availability and depend on the modules you choose. If you are interested in attending a field trip, you discuss this with your personal academic advisor (every student is assigned an advisor once they start with us).
Entry requirements
- A-levels: Typically ABB and above at A2 level from three subjects including biology
- International Baccalaureate: 34 points overall including grade 5 in biology (Higher Level)
- BTEC: We do not accept BTEC qualifications
- Access to HE Diploma: We will consider applications from students with the Access to HE Diploma (60 credit in a science discipline e.g. biology, chemistry, maths, physics). We take all aspects of your UCAS application into careful consideration; we look at the merits of your personal statement, academic reference, predicted grades and actual grades, and, due to the high volume of applications, we do not make offers purely on the basis of meeting the grade requirements. The minimum academic requirement is to achieve an overall Pass, with 45 credits at Level 3, of which 30 credits must be at Distinction and 15 credits at Merit or higher.
All applications are considered by our admissions tutors on a case-by-case basis, and this may mean we would request an interview.
Visit our frequently asked questions page for answers to our commonly received queries about entry requirements.
Non-UK students
Students from outside the United Kingdom must give evidence of their English language ability by producing an English language test score. The university provides guidelines for English requirements for all degree programmes.

Learning and teaching
All our programmes involve a mixture of classroom activities and laboratory work. A variety of teaching styles are employed, which vary slightly among modules and programmes. Most material is delivered via lectures. These last around 50 minutes each and, typically, you would have two lectures per day.
Lectures are backed up with small-group tutorials and workshops, where you have the opportunity to ask, in a relatively relaxed and small group setting, about material in lectures that you did not understand, to go through problems and practise past exam papers. In general, lectures, tutorials and workshops take place in the mornings and laboratory classes in the afternoons.
A typical weekly workload would be:
- 6-8 one-hour lectures
- 4-5 hours of practical laboratories or workshops
- 20-25 hours of private study/coursework.
Independent study:
For every hour spent at University you will be expected to complete additional hours of independent study. Your individual study time could be spent preparing for, or following up on formal study sessions; reading; assessing data from experiments; completing lab reports; and revising for examinations.
The direction of your individual study will be guided by the formal study and laboratory sessions you attend, along with your reading and assignments. However, we expect you to demonstrate an active role in your own learning by reading widely and expanding your own knowledge, understanding and critical ability.
Independent study will foster in you the ability to identify your own learning needs and determine which areas you need to focus on to become proficient in your subject area. This is an important transferable skill and will help to prepare you for the transition to working life.
For all programmes you must take 120 credits (normally eight modules) in each academic year. Each module is assessed through theory examinations (typically accounting for 75-80 per cent of the final mark) and coursework (for example, practical reports, field course reports, essays, problem sheets, online exercises and tests). Examinations normally last two and a half hours for first and second years and three hours for final-year papers.
Final-year students undertake a research project/investigative project or equivalent worth 15 or 30 credits; these are assessed with a detailed written report, poster and an interview. The main examination period is in May/June, with deferred exams and resits in August for first- and second-year students. The format of undergraduate examinations varies among programmes and may include multiple choice questions (MCQ), extended matching questions (EMQ), short answer questions, problem solving or case-based exercises, and essays.

It also offers a host of opportunities in terms of job prospects and future careers. Preparation for the world ahead can only be enhanced when being at the centre of one of the world's greatest capitals."
- What do you think of the facilitites at QMUL?
"The QMUL campus has a lively, friendly atmosphere, and also great facilities. You have access to high standard student accommodation for first years, good catering options, a gym to keep fit and most importantly an exciting, fun Students' Union bar. Our department was also recently refurbished, meaning we have new laboratories as well as bright, modern lecture halls for everyday classes."

Proto-horn, orange style arms, recessive amoena rim pattern on what
looks like a dominant judging from the very intense coloration, half
tangerine, half orange beard, etc. Got a lot going on here, even more
amazing if it is NOT a SDB (couldn't judge from the pic.)
Would like to see the pedigree on this one!
Cheers,Mike Lowe
A follow up to the photo. This is an SDB. I was hopeing people would see it as
a BB or TB as the form makes me think TB. Cooley's have an intro for this year
"Good Day Oregon" which has much the same form and appearence. It doesn't have
four falls as was suggested by one person. The parents are CALIFORNIA STYLE an
IB crossed with a seedling with parents ORANGE TIGER X PUMPKIN CENTER. All of
which were intoduced by Bennet Jones. CS has ORANGE TIGER as one of its
parents. I'm glad several others have noted the "proto horns". I'm hoping this
will pass on to offsring in suitable crosses.It is a very slow increaser for a
SDB and I have been speculating that it may have IB genetics. That is
12/12/12/8 for the chromosme. The width of the flower is much better then
either parent and may be a result of its chromosome structure. The inbreeding
may have something to do with its clean color. I hope you enjoyed this.

Starting with the beyond-iconic framing number "New York, New York," which blasts out with unalloyed gusto just as the film's three sailors come tumbling off their boat with a mere 24 hours' shore leave to take in all the sights and sounds of New York, the film is an unapologetically muscular toe-tapper of a show. This is most clearly due to Adolph Green and Betty Comden's script and songs that come piling out in quick succession, practically elbowing each other out of the way with the help of Leonard Bernstein's score. The intended effect is to convey the feel of a bustling American city during all its phases (from the quiet, just waking-up opener "I Feel Like I'm Not Out of Bed Yet" to the nightlife epic "On the Town"), and it's nearly perfectly conveyed.

The joy nearly leaps off the screen and begs you to join. In a charming introduction, family patriarch Grandpa Vanderhof (Lionel Barrymore, on crutches due to arthritis) meets a mousy accountant named Poppins (the appropriately named Donald Meek), a dreamer who'd rather make toys than punch meaningless numbers all day. With a simple tease of what could be, Vanderhof convinces his newfound friend to toss it all away and live with his family. And poof, as Poppins says, "the die is cast."

Justifiably famous for a rapid-fire script jam-packed with barbed remarks and caustic retorts, the film makes you stifle your laughter so you don't miss the next oncoming zinger. At one point, an exasperated Terry Randall (Katharine Hepburn) says to the delightfully bitchy Jean Maitland (Ginger Rogers), "It'd be a terrific innovation if you could get your mind to stretch a little further than the next wisecrack." Indeed.

I have only one complaint about the latest of David Lynch's B-movie noir flicks for cinema intellectuals, but it's a big one.
The first 90 minutes of "Mulholland Drive" give no hint where the story might be headed. Instead of sticking with his primary story -- about a pretty, fresh-off-the-bus actress getting mixed up in a dark, esoteric phantasm of a Hollywood mystery -- Lynch drags his feet by running several tangential subplots up the flagpole, then leaving them flapping in the wind.
The argument could be made that these episodes are for atmosphere. One dead-end thread unfolds in the ominous offices of a movie production company, where a cryptic, crippled, mobster midget (good ol' David Lynch!) manipulates the lives of susceptible industry denizens from inside a dark, velvet-flocked room. Another follows a cocky, arrogant young director (Justin Theroux) who is being forced by the midget's men to cast a particular blonde starlet in his next film. He crosses paths with our heroine, but only in a superficial way.

Hellish winter nights
Strike Queensland in late November,
Barely a fortnight from summer
Coming, we hope (?), in December.
Hellish November storms
Tearing apart old BrisbaneTown,
Ripping apart a sporting arena
Tearing entire suburbs down.
Lightning, rain, and thunder
Light the night sky like a fireworks display,
Bringing delight to many, until
They see the carnage in the light of day.
Whole suburbs have been blown away
A racehorse killed by lightning,
In daylight no-one sees delight
But find the chaos frightening.
Thousands now are homeless
Trying to survive the storms of spring,
Living in the flooded streets
Or on rooftops from which they cling.
Hellish winter nights
As bad as anyone can remember,
Striking not in July or August
But towards the last days of November.

ECOOP 2009 – Object-Oriented Programming
Volume 5653 of the series Lecture Notes in Computer Science pp 2-26
Coinductive Type Systems for Object-Oriented Languages
- Davide AnconaAffiliated withDISI, Univ. of Genova
- , Giovanni LagorioAffiliated withDISI, Univ. of Genova
* Final gross prices may vary according to local VAT.Get Access
We propose a novel approach based on coinductive logic to specify type systems of programming languages.
The approach consists in encoding programs in Horn formulas which are interpreted w.r.t. their coinductive Herbrand model.
We illustrate the approach by first specifying a standard type system for a small object-oriented language similar to Featherweight Java. Then we define an idealized type system for a variant of the language where type annotations can be omitted. The type system involves infinite terms and proof trees not representable in a finite way, thus providing a theoretical limit to type inference of object-oriented programs, since only sound approximations of the system can be implemented.
Approximation is naturally captured by the notions of subtyping and subsumption; indeed, rather than increasing the expressive power of the system, as it usually happens, here subtyping is needed for approximating infinite non regular types and proof trees with regular ones.

Clear Vision for Civilian Night Flying with NVAG-6 Goggles
In emergency situations, rescue operations often need to be called off when night falls as it becomes too dark and risky for flying aircrafts. Lives could be lost in medical emergency operations (EMS) as the hours tick by while waiting for enough light to enable flying into the scene of the emergency. Low night vision has also limited off-shore oil operations, logging, high-rise work, repair work and other danger-fraught operations. NIVISYS Industries' NVAG-6 night vision goggles are the first to receive FAA approval for civil aviation.
The NVAG-6 goggles have made civilian night flying less of a brush with death in unavoidable circumstances. Made of light anodized aircraft quality aluminum, the goggles do not bear down heavily on the user's head. The helmet mount is ergonomically designed for easy finger-touch operation during flight. The 25mm eye-relief eyepieces can be individually adjusted for the user's clearer vision and comfort. The goggles can even be used by contact lens or specs users.
The goggles are not just designed for looks or comfort. They have a focus range of 25cm to infinity; 1x magnification, +2 to -6 diopter adjustment, eye relief of 14mm at 25mm distance, and 40-degree field of view. The binocular feature enhances the pilot's depth of field for easier navigation in take-off and landing. The goggles run on two AA batteries and can last up to 40 hours of continued use.
The FAA approved NAVG-6 night vision goggles have extended possibilities and improved safety for civilian pilots who have to fly at night.

It is located in the west of the island, with the best coves and beaches; very close to the Sant Antoni de Portmany marina and Es Vedrà: the best area of the island to admire the famous sunsets. For those who want night-life, it is a few kilometers from the famous clubs of the island.
In case you don't want to rent a car at the airport, there is a bus directly from the airport for about 4€ which stops 50m from the main entrance. There are plenty of rent-a-car (and motorbikes/scooters/bikes) possibilities in the street and the area - for occasional day rentals or longer periods. In the area you can find as well lots of restaurants, supermarkets and shops.
Правила ПроживанияThere is a deposit of 200€ that will be fully returned when the keys are given back and everything in the apartment is in good condition. Checking-in after 10pm is possible but unfortunately we must charge 20€ extra. No check-in possible after 12am. The check-out is at 12:00 but of course, you can stay until later if there are no further guests.
Smoking inside the apartment is not permitted but you can do it on the terrace.

Absolutely lovely apartment. Really nicely decorated and furnished. Very modern and clean
Pool is quiet, warm and clean.
Although relatively close to san Antonio bay, we did not get disturbed by any noise in evenings. Kumharas bar is only 10 minutes walk away for the best sunsets on the island.
We will definitely stay here again. Thank you
Great appartement! Very spacious, clean and equipped with everthing you need. We had a wonderfull stay!
Really nice apartment, new and very clean with hughe windows and a large balcony. The kitchen is very complete with many things you may need and it is very close to marbellous beaches. We went with a our baby and it was so confortable. We will repeat for sure.
We had a wonderful time in Cala Bou! The appartment is great. It is clean and has a large balcony. Also the pool was very nice and it is close to some really nice beaches! We would certainly come again to this appartement.
We've been here for 7 nights. The appartment is really nice, well equipped and clean!! Most important reason for us to book this was the 2 bedrooms, so our daughter would have her own bedroom and the pools located at the complex. Besides that the location was situated in a quieter part of San Antoni area and close to the beach. Only "negative" point were the dogs from the neighbours below, who were barking quite a lot.
We've been there for ten days. The apartment is completely equipped with all you may need and the interior furnishing is very tasteful. The interior site has two pools, a children playground and there are many bushes, the pool has recumbencys and sunshades. Nearby is a shop, where you can buy mostly all you need and many restaurants you can reach by foot. We had a lovely time.
The appartment was great. It was clean and on a nice location.
There was a nice sitting location outside and inside.
The pool was nice and clean, no noisy people in the building.
We enjoyed our stay in this nice place, the apartment was really clean and all the furniture was in optimal conditions, we loved the huge terrace and the pool; the location is perfect, just 20 minutes away from Ibiza Town, and really close to many popular beaches. The landlord / caretaker were always very nice, friendly and helpfully.
Definitely I recommend this place to enjoy a few days in 'La Isla Blanca'
met een vriendin hebben we hier een heerlijke week gehad huis keurig schoon bedden schoon alle voorzieningen misten alleen een elektrisch koffiezetapparaat en een waterkoker

The world was inhabited by people. Not the kind we're used to though. There were men, women, and people who were both male and female. Not so strange? These people weren't considered "normal" by any means; they were actually two people sharing the same body. So each "person" had two heads, four arms, and four legs, and these people were powerful. So powerful in fact that Zeus and the other gods feared their strength. And soon their fears became a reality.
Trouble arose when the gods heard that these beings they created were thinking about climbing to heaven to replace the gods themselves. Of course the gods were furious and some of them said the easiest thing to do would be destroy humankind. But, Zeus patient , and wise listened to their gripes and groans and plans and came up with his own. He proposed that they should cut all these beings in half, this would benefit the gods and in many ways. First, it would immediately double the number of people making offerings and secondly, it would weaken the race, effectivly cutting their strength in half.
All the gods loved the idea and the humans were divided in two. The human race was confused, upset, and feeling empty. Zeus was filled with compassion and made a decison to help ease their pain and suffering. He made it so that each half was able to have sex with their opposite and in their brief moments of love making they would be able to return to eachother, becoming lostin their symbolic oneness if only for a short while.
And since that day the human race has been in search for their soulmate.

In Albert: Uncrowned King (John Murray pounds 25), Stanley Weintraub, the American scholar of Victorian England, seeks to redeem it, not so much by pointing to vices - the Prince does indeed seem to have had few - but by giving his virtue a political context. We also get some inkling of what drove him: not just a desperate wish to transcend his allotted role as imported royal stud, but also a murkily disturbed family past. Weintraub presents a more restlessly ambitious figure than previously portrayed, while at the same time destroying the myth of Victoria-and-Albert as a single entity, and giving the male half the primacy it deserves.
Weintraub's Albert is honest and honourable, though capable of low cunning - quite prepared, for instance, to gossip about the marital infidelity of a difficult Foreign Secretary, in order to undermine him. His wife, on the other hand, appears here as moody, erratic, depressive and often lazy - a Queen who, without the steadying wisdom of "that most perfect of human beings my adored Husband" (as she was wont to call him), might have finished off the British monarchy for good. Weintraub's Victoria has, however, the saving grace of a refreshingly passionate nature. Thus, this book also succeeds as a love story: the more remarkable because it describes a marriage brought about largely for pragmatic reasons.
As Weintraub reminds us, Prince Albert's origins - like those of his descendant and fellow consort, Philip - combined elevated bloodlines with political insignificance. Albert's lowly status as a younger son from a minor German principality meant that his suitability as a match for the future Queen of England depended on three things: his religion (Protestant princelings willing to move to London were in short supply), his character (a cuckolded Queen was something to avoid) and his ability to sire heirs.
Though his suitability on the first ground was established, there was nervousness about the others. Lord Melbourne, in particular, worried about the young prince's reported "indifference about ladies". "A little dangerous, that's all it is," he explained, perhaps meaning, not that Albert might be gay, but that it was better for a royal consort to sow his wild oats before marriage, rather than after it.
Indeed, if heredity was to be any guide on this score, British concern should have been extreme. Albert's father was a notorious philanderer who divorced Albert's mother when she responded in kind, and an elder son - chip off the old block - contracted syphilis. Luckily Albert differed spectacularly from his closest relatives and grew up a model for the era later identified with his wife. Where others of his class lost money at cards and in brothels, Albert studied, went for long mountain walks, and argued with religious leaders about early Etruscan art.
What did the future hold for a "superfluous son in a statelet of little consequence" - yet a man of high sensibility? Mentors of the Saxe-Coburg- Gothas were in no doubt, and from childhood he was trained up accordingly: Weintraub gives a fascinating account of the icily clinical preparation of the teenage suitor for a hoped-for match which, if clinched, amounted in Euro-royal terms to hitting the jackpot.
The question was whether Victoria would agree. Though she liked him well enough at an initial meeting before she acceded in 1837, Albert remained one of many possibilities. However, he had certain advantages: in particular, the influential sponsorship of King Leopold of the Belgians, who regarded the whole tribe of European royalty as if it were a gigantic breeding stable. In 1839 intense negotiations produced another Saxe-Coburg-Gotha pilgrimage to the Court of St James.
In an atmosphere of international excitement, the mentors fretted about whether Albert was enough of a flirt. He had, Leopold's doctor friend Baron Stockmar ruefully acknowledged, "more success with men than with women", in whose company he showed, alas, "too little empressement". They need not have worried. In this respect, Victoria made up for her German cousin's deficiency. The author gives a vivid description of how, against a backcloth of statesmen holding their breath, diplomatic necessity became magically romantic.
Until she set eyes on him Victoria remained grumpy. Then, as Albert ascended the great staircase at Windsor Castle, "erotic lightning struck". Five days later the English Queen proposed (a contemporary lampoon shows her tickling him under the chin). "Oh! to feel I was and am, loved by such an Angel as Albert was too great a delight to describe!" she recorded. "In body and soul ever your slave," politely concluded the prince in his first love letter, accurately describing his new status.
How much did he reciprocate her feelings? What for her was - or felt like - a heartfelt choice, for him was the crowning of a three-year ambition, planned with Teutonic precision. It is hard to believe that his own emotions did not include the prosaic sense of a career goal accomplished. The personal prospect, in any case, was ominous. "She's lovely, she is rich," went a cruel ballad, "But they tell me when I marry her / That she will wear the britsch." So it must surely have seemed - indeed, Albert's difficulty with the English language, dislike of English food, and lack of social ease in the company of England's xenophobic aristocrats would have been cause for acute unhappiness had not his marriage, fuelled by Victoria's consuming adoration, turned out an astonishing success.
The key, as Weintraub pleasantly put it, was Victoria's "Hanoverian libido". Any notion that Victoria was a prude is dispelled by this jovial book. She loved sex, couldn't get enough of it, and didn't care who knew. Things went right from the start. Hours after the marriage consummation, we find her eagerly telling the Prime Minister about her "most gratifying and bewildering night". She wrote later of loving "to be clasped and held tight in the sacred Hours of Night". When they had been married for four years, and Albert had to return to Coburg for his father's funeral, she told Leopold that "I have never been separated from him for even one night and the thought of such separation is quite dreadful". (Contrary, however, to the popular belief that the upper classes always sleep naked, Weintraub reveals that Albert required more than regal hugs to keep him warm. According to Victoria, the Consort accompanied her to bed "in long white drawers, which enclosed his feet, as well as his legs" - a kind of 19th-century baby-gro).
In time, sex became the source of many of her woes: nine children in 17 years bloated her body and brought on a pattern of post-natal depressions. But her ardour never dimmed. "Oh, doctor, can I have no more fun in bed?", the Queen was reported to have said, when told that the only effective form of birth control was abstinence.
"It is you who have entirely formed me," Victoria told her husband. At first, with no official place in the Constitution, Albert stood meekly by with an ink blotter as she signed documents. Rapidly, however, he came to influence her decisions and quietly take over her functions. As confinements and their gruelling aftermath absorbed her time and energy, her dependence became total. Sometimes the Queen's storms of anger tried him to the limit; ever self-controlled, he wondered if it would be best to slink away "like a schoolboy who has had a dressing-down from his mother and goes off snubbed", or to fight back. Eventually, he fixed on repeated assurances of undying love as the most effective palliative.
Elderly politicians thrice Albert's age soon discovered the value, when seeking the Queen's opinion on anything, of going to the Prince first. It was not just that she listened to him, when she would listen to nobody else. It also became apparent that while the Queen would push matters of state aside, the Prince kept himself unfailingly well-informed of them. Weintraub quotes Charles Greville, in 1845, commenting that Albert was "really discharging the functions of the Sovereign. He is King to all intents and purposes."
Albert also acquired a sphere of social concern separate from those of the government or even his wife, and generally of a worthily reformist nature. Weintraub shows that in contemporary terms the Consort's views were more Lib-Dem than New Labour: he believed in tax-and-spend and economic redistribution in favour of the poor. "Surely," he wrote in 1848 to Lord John Russell, who was dragging his feet, "this is not the moment for the taxpayer to economise on the working-classes."
His special enthusiasm, however, was for the white heat of the industrial revolution. He was a moderniser, obsessed - at a time when the English upper classes cared only for hunting foxes - with science, engineering, manufacturing, and new technology. In a fascinating chapter, Weintraub shows how far the idea for an "Industry of All Nations" exhibition was not just his brainchild, but his creation as well.
"And this is the man submitting his plan," went a nursery rhyme, "To the Prince who approved, and said it was good, That a Palace of Glass should be built in the grass, ... The fine Crystal Palace the Prince has built." Six million people visited the 1851 Great Exhibition, applying 270 gallons of eau de cologne to hide the smell of their sweat. Albert was to be seen there practically every day. Charlotte Bronte went five times; George Eliot contrasted the Prince's "noble, genial intelligent expression" with the dour pudginess of his wife. In retrospect, the huge structure and its contents - a Germanic display of British cosmopolitan greatness - marked a turning-point in the nation's self-perception.
Afterwards, the Consort's reputation soared. But the old hostility came back when Albert - more knowledgeable about central European affairs than most of the Foreign Office - pressed his doubts about a growing quarrel with the Tsar. While some grumbled that he was a Russian agent, red-faced earls sneered at what they saw as his insufferable priggery. "They call him slow," said a sympathetic letter to The Times, "because he does not gamble, does not use offensive language, and does not keep an opera dancer." Yet his practical interest in the welfare of his adopted country remained omnivorous. It was Albert who helped to woo the French by smoking cigars with Napoleon III; and Albert who personally designed the ultimate patriotic accolade, an iron medal for bravery known as the Victoria Cross.
If Weintraub's account of the Consort's dabblings in state affairs is generally complimentary, his picture of him as a paterfamilias is more mixed. In many ways Albert appears a better parent than his wife. He played with his children, chided Victoria for merely scolding then, and it was he, not she, who lectured his daughters on the facts of life. He had an affectionate relationship with his eldest daughter Vicky, tragically married off to the son of the Prussian Crown Prince, and later the mother of Kaiser Wilhelm II. With Bertie, the future Edward VII, on the other hand, he was as hopelessly inadequate as the Queen, the more so because of his heavy-handed concern to bring about a moral improvement.
Albert's death in 1861, aged 41, from an illness which doctors identified as typhus, but which Weintraub plausibly suggests was stomach cancer, left Victoria a widow for almost as long as her husband had lived. She never recovered, and the author argues that the British Throne never has either. The mid-century flourishing of the monarchy was largely Albert's doing, and Victoria's retreat into self- indulgent mourning stripped the Crown of most of its surviving influence at a time when the tide of democracy was rising. When, six years late, Walter Bagehot defined the royal role for future generations, he limited it to the rights to be consulted, to encourage and to warn.
What would Albert have made of his descendants' reigns? Weintraub maintains that he would have deplored the present-day "glamorous, ornamental, impotent Crown", and found it intolerably constraining. Yet he also credits the modern "corporate" constitutional monarchy as Albert's invention. Certainly, British royalty's 20th-century identification with the public good, and reputation for political balance, owes more to the Consort's yearning for a role than to anything bestowed by his Hanoverian wife or her predecessors.
The problem a royal figure poses for the biographer is how to build the plot: royalty does not necessarily have an aim, and can frequently be the mere spectator of events. Weintraub shows Albert as a happy exception - an activist "uncrowned king" who made the constructive best of the opportunities presented - and the narrative gallops along. Though largely put together from previously published material (and frustratingly spare in its reference notes), this book is written with scholarship, sensitivity and verve by an author who know his period well, capturing both a sympathetic personality, and the character of an age.
`Albert: Uncrowned King' by Stanley Weintraub is published by John Murray at pounds 25. Ben Pimlott is the author of `The Queen: A Biography of Elizabeth II' (HarperCollins pounds 20)

An extremely soulful electric album from Sun Ran and the Intergalactic Myth Science Solar Arkestra, a groove driven and funky swirling masterpiece from the late 70's.
Sun Ra and His Intergalactic Myth Science Solar Arkestra
Sleeping Beauty
Label: Art Yard
Released in: Great Britain
"This is the great late-night Sun Ra chillout album you never knew about. The band had been working in a more groove-oriented setting off and on for over a year, as evidenced by the albums Lanquidity and On Jupiter, with both featuring prominent electric bass and electric guitar. Sleeping Beauty picks up right where On Jupiter left off, with the gentle, swaying "Springtime Again" echoing the same mellow vibe of "Seductive Fantasy" from On Jupiter.
A skittering intro coalesces as different instruments pick up bits of the melody, which is then fully expressed by the horn section and ensemble vocals. It's a simple two-chord vamp, with beautiful solos that seem to embody the reawakening and rebirth of springtime. "The Door of the Cosmos" starts with a gospel-like chant and handclaps, with comments from Ra's electric piano and electric guitar. A strong bassline enters, very reminiscent of "A Love Supreme, Pt. 1: Acknowledgement," but the accompanying chant celebrates the mysteries of the unknown rather than the universal truth of A Love Supreme. This track builds in intensity, but never loses its groove or becomes nearly as raucous as the Arkestra is sometimes known for.
"Sleeping Beauty" is the album centerpiece, taking up all of side two. Ra's beautiful electric piano gets things rolling, and the band falls into a peaceful groove before the vocals enter, led by the wonderful June Tyson. These songs are all built on the simplest of structures, and the playing from everyone is understated and sublime.
Sleeping Beauty is truly a high point in an unwieldy discography, and something of an anomaly at the same time. There's a good reason copies of this album go for several hundred dollars on the collector's market, but it really deserves a proper release so more people can hear it. Outstanding."-Sean Westergaard, All Music

Hiras Fashion
Hiras Fashion has a fresh new look this year. Please visit http://www.hiras.com for our newly revamped website.
Better. Brighter. Bespoke.
I've just discovered this site, and found this thread. I've been using Hira's since 1999 when Chand Hira (the father, I believe) came to LA and was doing fittings out of a Travelodge next to LAX. It was scary to be sure, but at that time I only paid $500 for a luxury-line wool fabric and was pleased as punch. That suit is still in like-new condition and is in full rotation in my wardrobe today. Since then, I have ordered several additional suits and over a dozen shirts. My wife also ordered about 4 suits and around 10 shirts.
Both of us have had nothing but exceptional experiences with the fit and quality of all garments from Hiras.
Biggest gripe I have is that there doesn't seem to be any consistency in the pricing. Depending on which tailor is visiting (I believe it is always a family member, at least on the West Coast USA) and how much you feel like negotiating, the price can vary quite dramatically.
The styles offered are most definitely "old school". I've yet to try them for a modern fitting suit. Seems to me like most of the complaints here are from people who wanted to match another style of suit, as opposed to picking it from Hira's style book.
Their shirts fit like Brooks Brothers Extra Slim Fit, but slightly more generous in the chest and slightly trimmer through the waist - which is to say, like a (perfectly proportioned) glove.
1st post and ALL POSITIVE about Hira's Fashion. Since 1999 and its still like new condition? LOL
Purchased a suit from them earlier this year and it came back a piece of junk. It took about 9 weeks to get it in the mail too. I ordered a black euro fit suit and expressed to them how I wanted my suit cut. They ended up giving me a suit that is was too short, even for a modern slim fit suit, and no vents and a crappy super slim lapel with no stitching around the rim as I requested. The guy I met with instead just assured me everything would be just as I like it and he went ahead and ordered against my wishes. Also the suit is way too tight. The fabric is also pretty piss poor and is so over-lind that the jacket weighs a ton. I have been trying to get the suit replaced or returned but they don't seem to respond. Terrible customer service. They claim they will fix my order but you can't add fabric to a jacket that is too short. My father had used these guys in the past for shirts and a suits and he is astonished by how terribly they have handled my suit. He even looked at it and said it was a pile of junk. For the cost, appx $1k, it doesn't even compare in quality to a $350 mens wearhouse suit. I would stay away from these people for suits. My experience has been an incredible headache.
So people are paying half up front and half upon receiving a proper fitting suit. If it's not fitting properly then they need to fix it for you. If you pay them everything up front then they have no incentive to fix it for you. Please tell me you people are not paying everything up front.

Hi alexstaj. We appreciate your feedback. Customer satisfaction is very important to us and we will always make every effort to alter the suits and other garments that are not properly fitted. We will always be happy to see our clients again for alteration and remedy any issues with their orders.

Texas A&M University at Galveston breaks enrollment records with a total of 2,058 students registered
September 8, 2011
Texas A&M University at Galveston has shattered enrollment records for the fall, 2011 with a total of 2,058 students registered for fall classes, an 8 percent increase over the fall of 2010. There has been a 7.5 percent increase of undergraduates, while graduate student enrollment increased a record 32.5 per cent.
Recognizing this success, Rear Admiral Robert Smith III, TAMUG President and CEO, stated, "This record enrollment attests to the excellence of the educational experience and superb faculty at TAMUG. As we continue to move forward, I would anticipate the enrollment will continue to increase. This is good news for Texas and the Gulf Coast."
Beyond the increased student enrollment, broader geographical representations of students are now choosing TAMUG as their home. This year, Texas A&M University at Galveston students represents 44 states and 32 countries.
Dr. Donna Lang, associate vice president for Enrollment Management and Educational Outreach says the institution's geographical diversity speaks to the reputation of the campus in the marine and maritime industries as well as the expanding job market for the Gulf Coast.
"Our students are poised to meet new opportunities in international transportation and trade, offshore engineering, and coastal planning," she said. "This is the eighteenth year of steady growth for the campus. With less than 475 students in the 1980's, the campus has experienced significant change.
Lang says in addition to student growth, three new buildings are under construction with plans to open by Fall 2012. She adds that these buildings will further complement the $50 million Ocean and Coastal Studies Building, which opened this year.
The branch campus of Texas A&M University is the only maritime academy in the United States affiliated with a major research university and is gaining international reputation in coastal resiliency and interdisciplinary marine research.

How to make Mini Vanilla Bean Cheesecakes with Holiday Cranberry Topping
Yield: 14 mini cheesecakes
Cook: 5+ hours
- 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1 1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon orange zest (optional)
- 1 pound (2x 8-oz packages) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 1 vanilla bean, split in half and seeds scraped
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
Cranberry Topping
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1 16-oz can organic whole-berry cranberry sauce (or make your own)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 cupcake pans with 14 paper liners (or use 1 pan plus 2 standalone wrappers).
For the crust:
In a small bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Stir together with a fork until well blended and all dry ingredients are moistened and look like wet sand. Press 1 tablespoon of the mixture into the bottom of each cupcake liner. Bake until just set, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack. Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees F.
For the filling:
In a medium bowl beat the cream cheese on medium-high speed with an electric mixer just until smooth. Beat in sugar until well incorporated. Mix in the salt and vanilla. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Be careful not to over-mix.
Spoon 3 to 4 tablespoons of the cheesecake batter over the crust in each cupcake liner using an ice cream scoop or two spoons.
Bake until the filling is just set, about 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a wire cooling rack and let cool to room temperature. Transfer to the refrigerator and let chill for at least 4 hours before topping and serving (preferably overnight). (Make these for Thanksgiving up to 4 days ahead of time – store in airtight containers and dollop cranberry sauce on the day of serving).
For the topping:
In a small saucepan whisk together the cornstarch and orange juice to combine, making sure there are no large clumps. Pour in cranberry sauce, stir, and bring mixture to a boil over medium to medium-high heat for one minute. Cool for 10 minutes before topping a dollop on each cheesecake. Can be made up to a week ahead of time. Store in fridge and bring to room temperature before dolloping on cheesecakes. Leftovers for Thanksgiving or on sandwiches, crackers, muffins, pork chops, chicken, the options are endless.

How to make Chewy Chocolate Gingerbread Cookies
Yield: 2 dozen
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook: 2 hours 30 minutes
1 1/2 cups plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 tablespoon unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
1/4 pound (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 tablespoon freshly grated peeled ginger
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup unsulfured molasses
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons boiling water
7 ounces best-quality semi-sweet chocolate, cut into 1/4-inch chunks
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper
2. In a bowl, sift together flour, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and cocoa. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter and fresh ginger on medium speed until lightened, about 4 minutes. Add brown sugar; beat until combined. Add molasses; beat until combined.
3. In a small bowl, dissolve baking soda in boiling water. Beat half of flour mixture into butter mixture. Beat in baking soda mixture, then remaining half of flour mixture. Mix in chocolate; turn onto plastic wrap. Pat out to a 1-inch thickness; seal with wrap. Refrigerate until firm, 2 hours or overnight.
4. Preheat oven to 325 F. Roll dough into 1 1/2-inch balls; place 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Chill 20 minutes. Roll in granulated sugar. Bake until surfaces just begin to crack, 10 to 12 minutes, rotating halfway through. Let cool 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely. Cookies are best the day they are made, but can be stored in airtight containers at room temperature up to 5 days.

"Give a dog a bone" takes a whole new meaning.
The Internet goes nuts for cats and goats, but it's the birds that'll have your back in a tough situation.
Spike, the Umbrella Cockatoo, has a lot more freedom in the house than his canine companions, and when it comes to retrieving things from high places, that bird is the right guy for the job. He's got the goods, and he's giving them away like it's Christmas.
Who knows what kind of deal Spike cut before the heist, but the Great Danes are reveling in the sweet, sweet reward in the form of Milk-Bones.

Fighter Class will appreciate longer trip
Trainer John Size, who is seeking a remarkable eighth title, has another smart one in Fighter Class in his bag of tricks. The gelding showed big improvement from his debut run following his Class Three Hong Kong University Alumni Association Challenge Cup (1,200m) third behind the promising My Favorite at Sha Tin.
Fighter Class was two-to-three deep, about eight lengths off the leader Hinyuen Paladin, and picked up nicely over the final 200m to snatch third.
He showed he had come on significantly for his first-up run, judging by his fitness and appearance in the mornings, and just like any other of Size's new recruit, he will only get better with racing.
The three-year-old arrived following one win from three starts in New Zealand under the same name for trainer Jenna Mahoney.
Fighter Class is by Danehill stallion Spartacus and Masterclass mare Vintage Class.
Spartacus was a double Group One winner in Europe of three races over 1,200m to a mile and was a full-brother to past Hong Kong Derby champion Johann Cryuff.
He has successfully fathered six winners from nine local starters, including Scarlet Camellia (six wins up to a mile), Sea Prince (four wins at 1,200m and 1,400), Kingston Spartacus (three wins over 1,600m and 1,800m) and Cool Bean (1,800m win at the Valley).
Unraced Vintage Class has produced three other foals by Magic Ring, including the consistent New Zealand duo Mill Duckie and Mill Vinnie.
On his pedigree, Fighter Class looks a versatile performer who should improve when stepping up in distance.
