Wales is a fantastic place for surfing, despite the relatively cold water, we have some coastlines and beaches that seem to have been custom-made for good surf.
We've compiled a list of the safest places to go surfing in Wales, the list is aimed at complete beginners, but seasoned surfers may find some useful information for travel and accommodation.
Wales' surfing beaches are quite often also popular with tourists and bathers. This double-edged sword means you can always find good facilities, but the water might get a bit crowded on fairer days. Where possible on this list of safe Welsh surfing beaches, we've included spots with lifeguards during the summer season, who should make sure that bathers don't get in the way of surfers.
If you are completely new to surfing, and if you live in Wales, you really have no excuse not to give it a try! The water isn't cold when you have a wetsuit on, and if you are worried about the cold you can also rent wetsuit shoes and gloves, these will keep your extremities toasty. Most of the beaches in this surfing article have surf schools and surf hire nearby, because for complete beginners, it's always a good idea to get at least one lesson.
So in no particular order, click through to the next page and find some good places to have the best time of your life...
Whitesands, Pembrokeshire
Whitesands is one of the best beaches for surfing in Wales, waves can tower in the right conditions, and the shelter from the headland and Ramsey Island can make for a nice clean break. If you are going for a surfing trip in Pembrokeshire, then Whitesands is well worth a visit, especially in summer months when lifeguards are present.
The waves can reach a daunting height for beginners, if this happens you shouldn't avoid going in the water, just make sure you don't go out of your depth and ensure that your feet can always touch the sand. Your best bet in bigger waves is to stick closer to the beach and catch some of the smaller reforming waves, this way you won't get in the path of the more advanced surfers, and you'll be much safer.
On the beach you will find facilities such as toilets and a cafe, but if you venture further ashore, to St David's, you will find some good little pubs and restaurants. If you're looking for fish and chips then you're in a prime location, and the city also hosts a few decent bistros for discerning taste buds.
Lleithyr Farm Campsite is your best bet if you want to spend a few days at the beach, the location of the campsite is just half a mile away from the great surfing spot of Whitesands. It will save you having to join the queue of single track traffic which backs up every day when the sun begins to go down.

Coney Beach, Porthcawl
Porthcawl's Coney Beach is a well located surfing beach for those who are based in Cardiff and other eastern areas of Wales. Beware though, the break is not always the best at Coney Beach, in fact, it's usually either really good or completely non-existent.
The sheltered beach means that you really need to get out at high tide to have a good time of things, but, like Whitesands, the shelter also means that the surf can be nice and clean in comparison to other beaches. For beginners, this is good news because you won't be fighting in a sea of froth and white water.
Generally, because of the wind hitting the shores of Wales, sheltered beaches are a good bet for clean waves. Unfortunately they usually leave a lot to be desired in calmer weather. Unsheltered beaches in Wales are not always fantastic for surfing, as they can be blown out, which is a surfing term for when the waves are scattered and ruined by high winds. The wind can be useful for surfers, but primarily you want the wind to be blowing in the opposite direction of the incoming swell, that way, the force of the wind will hold up the waves for longer before they break.
Porthcawl will be a more suitable surfing destination either in Spring or early Autumn, Winter would be even better but you're not likely to see any lifeguards around. The waves are smaller in high summer, and can often close-out. This means you won't get a very long ride on the wave. Whilst this is annoying for seasoned surfers, it's not a problem for beginners, as you won't be aiming to surf across a wave. If your aim is just to paddle for a wave, catch the break, and stand up on the board whilst going in a straight line, then a smaller swell will usually be okay.
There are good facilities at Porthcawl, and there is plenty to keep you entertained if you have had your fill of surfing for the day. It's not the most glamorous holiday destination in Wales, and is probably better for day trips.
Aberdaron, Llyn Peninsula
For surfers, or prospective surfers, in the north of Wales, Aberdaron is a quiet little beach on the Lleyn Peninsula. The village of Aberdaron itself has a good pasty shop, a newsagent, a pub, and a couple of good places to eat. If you want a bit of peace and quiet then Aberdaron is a great shout, mainly because it is located deep into the peninsula and not the easiest place in the world to find.
The little beach doesn't have the biggest waves in Wales, and more seasoned surfers will prefer Hell's Mouth, which is only a few minutes away, but the little waves are more than enough for beginners to get started on. When the swell is bigger, and the wind isn't so harsh, the waves can be suitable for all standards. Most people who go to Aberdaron fall in love with the place, the people are friendly and there is a really nice atmosphere in the village.
It can be a little bit bleak when the sun isn't shining, and there can sometimes be a harsh wind blowing across the peninsula. When the wind drops, you should explore the hills and countryside around Aberdaron and Uwchmynnydd.
A good place to camp or rent a caravan is Ty-Newydd Farm in Uwchmynydd; a three star touring and camping park with good facilities and a nice family atmosphere.

Oxwich Bay, Gower
Oxwich Bay is the Gower's beach for beginner surfers, if you aren't massively confident about your swimming abilities then Oxwich bay is a good place to get a feel for surfing in Wales. On its day, this is one of the better places to surf in the south of Wales, you'll know when this day is because the beach will become crowded by high tide.
It can be a bit frustrating trying to catch a break in Oxwich, it can be really flat at times, but when this is the case, there will usually be a bigger swell in some of the nearby beaches. I'm using Oxwich as a Gower umbrella beach in this article, for beginners, it's a good place to start, but if the waves are no good then there are many more options within 10 miles.
It's a glorious beach in summer, regardless of whether you are surfing or sunbathing, it's well worth a visit. There is a car park nearby, as well as a few places for refreshments, and the beach has toilet facilities. If your trip is badly timed and the swell is tragic, then you can always find plenty to do in the Gower. Greenways Leisure park is a pretty good bet for camping and caravans, although the area hosts a number of decent hotels and B&Bs.

Poppit Sands, Cardigan
Poppit Sands is just a beautiful beach generally, surf or no surf. It tends to have consistently small waves which are good for trying to get a short ride on. If you have no previous surfing experience whatsoever, then this is a good place to go. The beach is clean, the local people are very friendly, the facilities are good, and on the right day the waves can pack a small punch.
Stay on the west side of the beach, away from the river estuary, as there will be strong currents and rips near the estuary. Parking is rarely ever a problem at the beach, and Lifeguards are on patrol in July and August.
In terms of accommodation in Cardigan, the options are almost endless. If you like camping then you will find a number of good places to pitch, and if you prefer to stay in hotels, holiday cottages or B&Bs then you're in the right place. The food is generally pretty great everywhere, particularly seafood, and you will find a number of good watering holes for sinking a well deserved post-surf pint. The area is family friendly, and there is a great deal to do for kids as well as for adults.

Llangennith, Gower
You can't talk about surfing in Wales without mentioning Llangennith. If there is any swell hitting the southern shores of Wales, then Llangennith will have a decent breaking wave height. The beach is suitable for all abilities and if you enjoy the beach when you are a beginner, the chances are that you will keep going back as you progress.
Llangennith sometimes reminds me of Gwithian beach in Cornwall, in that the paddle out can be a bit tough, especially if you're riding on a board that is over 7-ft-long, and if the winds get high, the waves can get big and messy.
You fill find a number of surf schools at Llangennith, and as previously mentioned, it's definitely worth having at least one if you are a complete beginner. Hillend campsite is a good nearby camping spot, or if you are down for a day trip then the parking is pretty good. It's the Gower, so pubs and restaurants are in fine supply, and holiday cottages are probably the best choice for accommodation as you can have a hot shower and let the boards dry off in the garden before bringing them in for the night.
Rhosneigr, Anglesey
Okay, so Rhosneigr is not the safest beach in the world, but if you are at the latter stages of being a beginner, and you know how to stay safe, this is a consistent spot for surfing in Wales.
It's probably not the best place to surf in Wales for the first time, but when you are confident of your swimming and surfing abilities, and if you are with a few other people, then try this place out. You don't have to be a pro to surf here, just have a bit of common sense and avoid going out of your depth until fully confident you can handle it.
It's a good stepping stone from the tourist beaches to the quieter beaches, and the beach is fairly consistent for good waves. Beware of the rip tides, you will find these on almost every beach in the UK, but they can be a nuisance whilst surfing in Rhosneigr. Rips are not a problem as long as you understand how they work, it's very rare that they will pull you away from the shore, and more common that a rip will pull you across the shoreline. When this happens, simply find a fixed point on the shore, and make sure you always try and stay in line with that fixed point. If you find yourself drifting then don't panic, it's okay to drift a bit, but just catch a wave back to the beach and walk back to your original spot.
The rip is strongest at the southern edge of the beach, and this is also where the rocks are, so just stay away from this end, plain and simple. It's also a good idea to start surfing at low tide so you can see where the rocks are and get your bearings.
Probably not a family surf spot, but a good place to go with friends, especially if you stay sensible.

- Bruce Munro Fields of Light at Ayers Rock in Uluru, AustraliaWe're huge fans of Bruce Munro's dazzling light installations, which populate fields and forests with thousands of glowing LED flowers - so we're excited to announce that the artist will be unveiling his largest project to date next year at Ayer's Rock (Uluru)! After a series of acclaimed installations around the world, Munro will be bringing his Field of Light back to the project's birthplace in the heart of the Australian red desert - and it will be entirely powered by solar energy. Field of Light Uluru is currently at the fundraising state, so if you'd like to support this epic endeavor check out the Field of Light crowd-sourcing page and donate today.1
- Bruce Munro Fields of LightBruce Munro was first inspired to create his fields of light while traveling through Australia's red desert in 1992.2
- Bruce Munro FieldsHe was amazed by the endless fields of flowers that burst up from the barren expanse when it rains, so he developed a low-energy lighting installation to bring the phenomenon to other locales.3
- Bruce Munro FieldsMunro says "My aim is to make this an event shared in every aspect with as many people in Australia as possible."4
- Bruce Munro FieldsThe artist's latest installation will aim to do just that - the national park at Ayer's Rock (which is also called Uluru) spans 311,000 acres, and Munro and his team will take six weeks to install his largest installation yet.5
- Bruce Munro FieldsField of Light at Uluru will consist of 3,290 kilometers of optical fiber and it will be entirely powered by solar energy.6
- Bruce Munro FieldsMunro says that his team will take every effort to protect the landscape: "We're going to be extraordinarily careful, and we're using 500 LED solar-powered illuminators, so that the installation doesn't waste any power."7

Once the adhesive's water evaporates, the nanoballs concentrate, and with the help of other materials, including calcium and pectin, the glue hardens.

Fatal familial insomnia (FFI) is a very rare autosomal dominant inherited prion disease of the brain. The dominant gene responsible has been found in just 50 families worldwide; if only one parent has the gene, the offspring have a 50% chance of inheriting it and developing the disease. The disease's genesis and the patient's progression into complete sleeplessness is untreatable, and ultimately fatal.

SKF Explorer sealed spherical roller bearings
- Ready-to-mount units - SKF sealed spherical roller bearings are ready-to-mount units filled with a suitable lubricant.
- Longer service life - Sealed bearings enhance service life by keeping solid contaminants and moisture out of the bearing.
- Environmentally friendly - For most applications, sealed bearings can be considered "greased for life." This means little or no contamination of the environment.
- Safer handling - The seals make handling and mounting less hazardous from the contamination point of view.
- Robust performance - Same basic load ratings as corresponding open bearings.
- Downsizing possible - Longer service life allows for bearing downsizing. The robust seal designs enable additional "axial" downsizing in applications where external seals are not necessary.

October 1, 2010
Robert P. George, Princeton University professor and noted conservative Christian thinker was welcomed to Wabash last night by the Wabash Conservative Union, the Wabash Newman Center, and the Intercollegiate Studies Institute for his lecture "Natural Law, God, and Human Dignity."
George described his views regarding Natural Law's human application extensively. But behind his rather daunting title was really an analysis of the bevy of interpretations available for it. Rather than defining Natural Law through a god or through human dignity, George related the two subjective outlooks back to Natural Law.
First establishing the intrinsic value of pursuits such as friendship and artistic beauty, which do not hold instrumental value on their own, he showed that basic human rights were too intrinsically valuable. Through this argument, theists and atheists alike can agree on that fundamental "goods" for humans exist.
Staying clear of political arguments altogether, George argued that human rights are defensible so long as the individual is regarded as an end, not a means. The Kantian idea that social systems exist as a means to support individual human ends was the backbone of his argument. God and dignity are only involved to decide exactly where a line is drawn, such as the point a fetus becomes "human enough" to gain its rights.
Another seemingly religious topic George analyzed was original sin. Biblically centered or not, original sin is the basic imperfection that prevents a standard set of values from emerging amongst humanity. So from this handicap, George argues, the goal is to strive towards the intrinsically positive values we know exist.
Among other natural positives, George also listed knowledge and health. Both of which, he said, can be improved only for the point of improvement without provoking questioning. He compared these to money, an intrinsically worthless substance with enormous instrumental value. Stating that "one single 'human good' is not practical," he once again emphasized human beings as an end rather than a means of the social systems we create.
By relating each of his subjects to a human "goodness" rather than a religious standpoint, his statements remained logically based regardless of the audience's views. George listed a number of his atheistic colleagues (including at one point Richard Dawkins) with whom he had discussed these topics. It was this open attitude that seemed to most impress those listening.
Zachary Rohrbach '12 said George "kept his points framed in a light that was applicable to both theism and atheism." Throughout his lecture, George made a point of arguing all sides of a view, starting with his own Christian outlook and proving the same application of both reductive materialist and spiritual atheists.
To accommodate those viewpoints, George relied heavily on his knowledge of the works of thinkers like Aristotle and Aquinas. Ted Plumber '13 said the references "mandated a more philosophical background in order to grasp them."
To conclude his lecture, George brought his ideas full circle to establish that "all of our choices and actions determine not only the world we create, but they constitute our intransitive, internal beings." The way we support an action politically also adds to the intrinsic goodness of our inner selves, and to promote equal Natural Law is to improve ourselves for our own dignified sake, religious or not.

There are a lot of people these days who are quite worried about the appearance of their skin. They would want to make sure their skin is smooth, flawless and even in tone. Of course, because of the massive influence of media in everyone's lives, the idea of having whiter skin has become quite a priority among women and the vainest of men.
Nobody wants to see blotches of pigmentation scattered all over their body, nor would they want to remain dark-skinned or tanned forever. Having a light skin tone is simply synonymous with purity and beauty, which is no wonder why so many people nowadays are seeking ways to acquire lighter toned skin.
Skin lightening methods are highly sought after simply because it makes a person look healthier and younger as well. Those who have flawless looking skin would often look a lot younger than their actual age, and may even compare with some of Hollywood's most beautiful people.
Below are some helpful pieces of information on how a person can acquire whiter skin:
While various ethnicities have differing skin colors, it simply doesn't stop them from trying to look as fair as possible. At times, their skin color may even get a lot darker due to overexposure from the sun, as well as other factors such as the environment and age. This is also due to the overproduction of melanin, which leads to the skin becoming darker.
Some products may live up to their claims while others may prove ineffective from the outset. Thus, it is highly necessary for individuals to actually do a bit of research before they decide to opt for a specific product or brand.
If a person wishes to take advantage of skin lightening cream, they would have to determine what the ingredients are before purchasing them. While there are many treatments which would work well for all skin types, one would still need to do some extra groundwork in order to get the best results possible.
I'm gonna be blunt: there are only two known ways to get through stretch marks. You can only cure them with expensive therapy, early treatment or temporary treatment. Its not easy having stretch marks and getting it can be a total bummer especially if you have severe cases of it; but don't fret. Stretch marks aren't exactly the next black plague so they're fairly manageable if you know what to do.
The Earlier, The Better.
Treating it as early as possible is a substantially better way than outright treating it. It takes about roughly a year for the stretch mark to settle down in your skin. You see, when a stretch mark forms after pregnancies or rapid weight loss or gain, they appear as purple or deep reddish hues. When it achieves a certain number of months and is left untouched by medication or treatment, it settles in your skin in a more transparent or lighter hue thus making them visible even after they've been healed.
Generally,"healed" stretch marks are essentially harder to treat due to the fact that they're already settled in your skin. Think of it as a more permanent scar that can last many years before it eventually goes away. This is why earlier treatment is important.
Usually, early treatment consists of collagen-treatment and skin repair at its earliest stages. Wrinkle creams or any medication that has a especially formulated retinol formulation can work best to achieve a desirable effect. However, one must remember that this only works at its earliest stages.
Working Treatment
Working stretch mark treatment is expensive, that is why you don't want to wait for it to settle down. Why expensive, you ask? Because laser treatment is the best solution for all types of stretch mark treatments. Although there are certainly medications such as topical creams of specialized treatment, they don't work equally well after the year-long grace period.
Now why are fancy-smancy lasers so darn expensive? It is because of repeat visits as well as delicate instruments used to treat it aren't used to "kill" stretch marks, rather, they are for inciting collagen that thus repairs areas affected by stretch marks.
Just to give you a picture on how this works: the laser goes through the intended areas, now the process has to be efficiently slow yet guaranteed in order to get through stretch marks. This is why anesthetics are used during treatment as the treatment tends to be uncomfortable.
Bad Medication
When it comes to the cosmetic field of treatment, there had been several brands and names that claim to fix up the unfixable. While most of their process are great on paper, it can be of dire consequence to people who just fork over their money and don't ask to many questions.
One should always be aware of such types of medication. If it's too cheap to be true, then consult dermatologists or medical professionals in the know. Most of the time they'll be shaking their heads, but it's better than suffering because of it.
Most of us suffer from having pimples at some point in our lives. Many of us don't just experience pimples, but acne too. Yes, acne is more embarrassing and ugly-looking than pimples, because they're bigger, redder, and they can sometimes be inflamed.
Acne can be painful too when touched. So it's really a problem, especially because it usually breaks during adolescence. There are now many products designed to control acne outbreaks. The problem with using products is that they don't work to most of us. Some of them can even make the acne worse instead of zapping it out.
The good thing is that you can actually somehow lessen it and control it by just doing simple things that has something to do with health and hygiene.
The following are the steps you can follow in getting rid of acne.
To know more about acne treatments, you should also try some of the homeopathic and natural remedies that have proven to zap out acne.
Have you been dealing with the unsightly marks that infest your skin? Stretch marks may be making things hard for you for quite some time right now. What are the causes to this disastrous skin condition? They may be stopping you from being in your favorite clothes since you are trying to conceal or hide these ugly marks.
What are They?
Stretch marks are medically known as striae. It is a result of the scarring due to the tearing of the dermis. It may eventually lighten in color and appearance yet you cannot eliminate them totally. The fact that this skin condition is permanent is a sad truth that many women like you may be facing right now.
What are the Causes?
The rapid stretching of the skin may lead to the tearing of the resilient layer called dermis which maintains the shape to your skin. Hormonal changes, weight lifting, pregnancy and sudden weight changes may be factors to this. Now you know what may have caused the stretch marks on your skin.
How Stretch Marks Look?
These lines may appear purplish or reddish at first and eventually lighten after quite some time. The skin affected by striae may feel softer and appear empty. Overstretching of the connective tissue of the dermis is the main reason why you are left with these disastrous marks.
Where They Usually Develop
Stretch marks usually grow on areas with abundant fat stores such as the breasts, buttocks, abdomen, back, upper arms, thighs and hips. It may not be a serious medical condition yet they may affect how your skin looks and how you feel about yourself.
There are hundreds of products that promise you a stretch mark-free skin. However, with the many choices to choose from it is hard to identify which really works best on your skin.
Creams and oils are available in beauty, skin care shops and even in drugstores without a written prescription. Applying them daily may help you spare your smooth skin from the appearance of striae.
You may have encountered cocoa butter. This is one of the famous remedies for stretch marks and which can also work well in preventing the said skin condition. They act by hydrating and moisturizing the skin thereby preventing stretch marks to develop.
Also, the nutrients found in this product may also help in revitalizing and nurturing your skin. An important consideration in striae prevention is your skin health.
Though treating stretch marks is always more difficult than preventing them, there are various options you can take to reduce the unsightly marks. Using best stretch mark cream help by concealing the striae. What is good about cocoa butter is that they work well in both the prevention and treatment of stretch marks.
Surgeries may also be done on you so as to get rid of the lines. However, this mode of treatment may often be more risky and costly. Think of the possibility of getting an infection.
Having stretch marks may be a complicated scenario to be in. It may affect not only how you dress up but also your self-image. Prevent these ugly marks in order to maintain your healthier-looking skin.
If there's one such apparent indication of true beauty and flawlessness, at least in the eyes of today's society, it would be white skin. Of course, there are many ethnicities which have distinct skin colors of their own, which kind of makes it ironic why nearly every nationality in the world would want to have lighter skin.
Of course, there are a wide range of techniques that can be implemented in order for a person to get the skin tone he or she wants. Skin lightening is considered to be a priority for most people, thus they would want to make sure that everything is just perfect. It is a fact, however, that some individuals tend to perform the wrong methods for getting a lighter tone on their skin.
They would make use of expensive procedures such as laser surgery, which may prove harmful to the health of a person's skin in the long run, leading to the possibilities of dark spots or pigmentation.
Thus, if one wishes to avail of treatments that can help him or her get a much whiter complexion and tone, below are some things to be mindful of:
Of course, there are some creams out there being sold which are significantly better for those with sensitive skin. Apart fro m this, people should learn the proper method of application for these creams, that is, reading the instructions thoroughly and carefully and following the steps to the point.
These are just some of the methods in which a person can get whiter looking skin. These skin lightening treatments would definitely help people all over the world look even more flawless and glowing.
Acne can affect almost everyone, both males and females. It is a condition that is even worse than pimples. It appears as congested pores, tender red bumps, and cysts or deep pimples. It is also associated with reddening and inflammation.
The usually affect the face down to the neck. But they can also appear on the back and chest. Medically known as acne vulgaris, acne is not really caused by bacteria. There are many causes of acne, and we'll get to that later. Acne usually develops and occurs to people in their puberty to late 20s.
There are acne products available in cosmetic or drugstores. Some of these products may be effective in controlling the acne. However, they really don't guarantee that there will be no longer acne outbreak. And since most of these products don't require prescription, many of them are actually bogus.
So if you want to make sure, better consult a dermatologist and seek treatment options.
There is no single cause of acne. The only sure thing is that acne occurs or develops when the sebaceous glands of the hair follicles get to be affected by changes in hormone levels during puberty. So this means that there is an increased oil production, which can really cause clogging of the pores and follicular openings.
Once the pores are clogged, the hair follicle then gradually becomes enlarged until it becomes a bump. It then progresses and spread to the other parts of the face. It can even cause inflammation on the affected areas.
Although there is really known cause for acne, there are some factors that are believed to trigger the development of acne. And they are the following:
There are also other known factors that can cause acne. And these include the following: cosmetics, pressure, and drugs. So if you are suffering from acne, especially if it's severe, you must really seek best acne treatment and maintain proper hygiene.

BettingWar needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 45 designs submitted by 19 freelance designers.
Betting War is an online sports betting community that revolves around the notion that users have a permanent record of their predictions and actions.
Currently, the site is in development, but I am looking for a logo that encompasses both sport and the competitive aspect of the site.
The logo will be the basis of the website design, which I will hold a contest on this site after the logo is created. I do not have a specific image in my head of how the logo should look or feel, but I like the concept of associating sports with war (think Kellen Winslow quote).
I would like the logo to incorporate an image as well as the site's name. I will give a ton of 1:1 feedback as well as feedback to the whole group, and so my concept will become clearer over time.
Check out the online sports betting community site. Also, check out my past contest for some indication of what I am looking for.
- sleek and modern logo that can stand on its own
- looking to integrate an image with the words "Betting War"
- want to encompass sports in the logo
- web 2.0 for an eventual social media site
- look for an easily scalable logo (e.g. vector format)
- not looking for a cheesy football icon logo
- not looking for simply font of Betting War

District of Columbia Information Science Degree Graduate Campus Programs
A number of graduate schools offer Information Science degree programs at the Masters, Doctorate and grad certificate levels. If you are someone who enjoys being present in the classroom, brainstorming with others, and learning in real-time, studying on-campus is likely a great fit. Whether you prefer the research and analysis of informatics, the business strategy that goes with managing information systems, or the classification and cataloging of library science, there are fascinating options within Information Science to choose from. Find accredited universities and colleges with Information Science Graduate degree programs using an easy navigation menu to choose your preferred city, state or country.
Inside an Information Science Degree Graduate Program
At the graduate level, an Information Science Degree essentially studies the processes of collecting, manipulating, storing, retrieving and disseminating information[i]. This in itself speaks to the interdisciplinary nature of the field. Academically, graduate students can look for a program that focuses on information science from the computer science, library science or information technology perspectives which is one of the reasons there are so many options.
DID YOU KNOW? "An information scientist is an individual, usually with a relevant subject degree or high level of subject knowledge, providing focused information to scientific and technical research staff in industry, a role quite distinct from and complementary to that of a librarian. The title also applies to an individual carrying out research in information science".[ii]
Find a Graduate Certificate in Information Science
Looking for extra credentials? Not ready for an MIS graduate program but want to learn specific skills? Graduate Certificates in Information Science generally take less time than a master's degree and
offer targeted courses to boost your knowledge.
Find a Masters in Information Science Program
Do you have a Bachelor's in Information Science, information systems or computer science? Are you interested in management? Are you planning to pursue doctoral studies at a later date? Masters in Information Science programs may take around 2-years to complete and are offered in different formats such as the Master of Library Science, the Master of Science in Information Science and the Master of Business Administration with concentrations in your chosen field.
Find a Doctorate Information Science Program
Some Information Science PhD programs may be open to students with a Bachelor's degree or Master's degree in their chosen field. These programs tend to prepare students for advanced research, scientific or academic roles and may take 4-5 years after an undergraduate degree[iii].
Types of Information Science Degree Campus Programs
When searching for graduate schools, it is important to know what level (masters, doctorate, certificate) as well as what type of Information Science degree you are seeking so that you can find accredited schools with strong programs in your academic domain.
Information Science
A graduate degree in information science may mean different things at each university; some graduate schools have a library and information science department, so it is important to read through curriculum details to get the bigger picture. This may be the right type of program for you if:
- Are interested in scientific computing
- Want to learn advanced mathematics, computer languages and programming,
- Have an applied science and research background
- Are interested in informatics and big data
- Want to design databases, work in scientific informatics or research[iv]
Informatics graduate programs involve the practice of information processing and building of information systems. This type of degree in information sciences may appeal to you if:
- Are interested in designing and developing support systems, mobile application or 3-D animations
- Want to acquire tools to manage programming projects
- Desire to improve and use your computing skills and programming techniques
- Are interested in working in information technology and computing
Information Systems
As a specialized type of information science degree, information systems graduate programs may be a good fit if you:
- Are interested in making technology-driven decisions and assessments
- Enjoy preparing budgets and developing business strategies
- Want to fine tune your business analytics and data mining skills
- Are a project manager at heart
- Are interested in potential jobs such as computing services directors and management information systems (MIS) directors.[v]
Library Science
Library and information science graduate programs may be a fit for you if:
- Enjoy studying media technologies
- Are interested in online research methodology
- Desire digital literacy
- Want to be able to work as a librarian[vi]
Guidelines for Selecting an information Science Graduate School
Choosing a graduate school is a process, for sure. You need to find a few schools to apply to, some may be slightly out of reach, some safe, some possibilities. A few tips to throw into the mix:
- Check out course curriculums to get an accurate read on what you would be studying or researching
- Read about what graduates of these programs are doing now with their degree
- Think about whether you want to study in a small town, a rural setting or a cityscape
- Look into faculty and what research projects they might be working on
- For library science graduate programs, look for accreditation by the American Library Association[vii]
- Grad School is a time to cultivate a niche for yourself, spend some time looking into various programs to see what lights your interests in terms of doing research or projects
- Think about the credentials you need to work in your chosen field and evaluate graduate information science degree programs with this in mind

Women and the British Empire: A Talking DBQ
Time Estimated
One 80-minute class period and DBQ as an independent assignment.
Because students need a background on the British Empire in order to complete this lesson, the lesson would be most appropriately placed near the end of a unit on imperialism.
After completing this lesson, students will be able to:
- analyze primary-source documents for evidence of roles women played in the British Empire.
- devise yes/no questions in order to gain more information.
- cooperate with a group in order to formulate an answer to a question.
- recognize the multifaceted nature of the role women played in the development and support of the British Empire.
- identify different views of the British Empire based on the documents provided.
- Source 4: Painting, Scotland Forever (1881) by Elizabeth Butler, to be projected on a screen.
- Duplicate enough copies of the following four sources so that each group has one copy:
- Source 1: Painting, The Secret of Englands Greatness (1863) by Thomas Jones Barker (Use painting only, not annotation.)
- Source 7: Autobiography, Mary Seacole (Use excerpt and annotation.)
- Source 10: Fiction, Nervous Conditions (Use excerpt only, not annotation.)
- Source 3: Letter, Mary Moffat (Use excerpt and annotation.)
- Duplicate enough copies of the Primary Source Analysis Worksheet: Images so that each student has 2 copies.
- Duplicate enough copies of the Primary Source Analysis Worksheet: Texts so that each student has 3 copies.
Methodology: This lesson borrows heavily from the Suchman Inquiry Model of teaching, which allows students to discover key facts by analyzing artifacts and formulating questions. Essentially, the lesson is a talking DBQ.
In small groups, students are presented with one artifact at a time and asked to analyze the artifact within the framework of a specific question. In the case of this lesson, the question is: What role did women play in the creation and perpetuation of the British Empire? Once they have analyzed the artifact and taken notes, they then formulate a question to ask the teacher to gain more information. The question should be asked so that the answer is either yes or no. By putting this restriction on the students, if forces them to formulate thoughtful and detailed questions. Each group is given the same artifact at the same time, a few minutes for analysis, and then a few minutes for questioning the teacher. Once one artifact is complete, the teacher then passes out the next artifact. The lesson proceeds in this way until all the artifacts have been analyzed.
At that point, students use the sum of the knowledge they have accumulated to try to answer the primary question posed them at the beginning of class. Through guided full class discussion, teachers are able to bring students to the necessary conclusions to understand the documents and the learning question.1
- For this lesson on women in the British Empire, the question to be answered is: What role did women play in the creation and perpetuation of the British Empire? For this lesson, there are five artifacts selected for analysis: three paintings, one diary excerpt, one book excerpt and one personal letter excerpt. Six artifacts can usually be analyzed and discussed in one 80-minute class.
- Introduction: Explain to students that we will be analyzing documents today by playing 20 questions. In small groups, they will receive one document at a time. They will be given ten minutes to analyze and take notes on the document. Then, along with their group members, they must come up with a yes/no question for the teacher that will give them more information. They should come up with more than one question because another group might ask their question before it is their turn. They will also have the opportunity to ask more than one question if time allows. Ultimately, they are trying to answer the following big question: What role did women play in the creation and perpetuation of the British Empire? Put the question on the board. Once every group has asked a question, the next document will be passed out for analysis. We will proceed in this way for all four documents. When it is each groups turn to ask a question, it can relate to any of the documents analyzed so far.
Teacher-guided analysis: Before beginning the 20 questions game, indicate to the students that they will analyze one document together as a class to give them an idea of the types of questions they should be asking when it is their turn. At this point, project Source 4: Painting, Scotland Forever (1881) by Elizabeth Butler. Give the students a minute to study the painting.
Pass out the note sheets; give them a few minutes to take some cursory notes on the painting. Point out to the students that they should ask questions that will help them gather information about the document; specific information like point of view, bias, medium, influence of medium on message, audience and authorship. It might be helpful to write these terms on the board. Ask students to take a minute to formulate some questions about the painting, keeping in mind the larger question we are trying to answer today: What role did women play in the creation and perpetuation of the British Empire?
As students offer questions, compliment them on their thinking and attention to the list of types of information they are trying to gather. Ask them to try to rephrase their questions as yes/no questions if it was not in that form already. This will be a challenge to the students, and possibly somewhat frustrating, but as they begin to form more precise questions, their analysis becomes clearer.
If students are having difficulty formulating questions, offer some models. For example, one of the pieces of information they need is point of view. A question for the Scotland Forever painting might be:
- Was the artist British?
- Was the artist loyal to the British Empire?
- Was the artist trying to encourage support for the British military?
Questions that could be generated for the authorship might be:
- Was the artist British?
- Was the artist a soldier?
- Was the artist a man?
After you feel that students have gained an understanding of how to formulate and ask questions, go on to the first document they will analyze in their small groups. Continue to remind them of the types of information they are seeking and the question they are trying to answer. Answer any questions the students might have about the lesson procedures.
Small-group Analysis: Put students into groups. When everyone is ready, begin by passing out a copy of the first document to each group. The first document is Source 1: Painting, The Secret of Englands Greatness (1863) by Thomas Jones Barker. You might also want to project a larger image of the painting for the students to study. Give them five to ten minutes to analyze and formulate a couple of questions.
While students are working, circulate to monitor their analyses and depth of understanding. Encourage them to make comparisons with the document they have already analyzed. Refrain from answering questions at this point; encourage them to rephrase their questions so that you may answer them with a yes or a no at the end of this round of document analysis.
When the time has expired, ask for a volunteer group to begin the questions. Allow each group to ask one question. Remind students that all the questions their classmates ask will provide them with more information. Thus, they should pay attention to the questions and the answers. Once each group has asked one question, proceed to the next document. Try not to allow more than one question per group until all the groups have had a chance to ask a question. This will frustrate the students somewhat, but the result will be more focused and thoughtful questions as the lesson proceeds. If time allows, go back through each group to give them the opportunity to ask more questions.
Continue with the remaining three documents (Source 7: Autobiography, Mary Seacole, Source 10: Fiction, Nervous Conditions, and Source 3: Letter, Mary Moffat) until the analysis is complete. Try not to spend more than 15 minutes total on each document.
Discussion: At this point, the students have analyzed five documents, one with you, and four as a class asking questions. Make sure they understand this key information about each document. Give the students a few minutes to discuss an answer to the big question: What role did women play in the creation and perpetuation of the British Empire?
When they are ready, invite students to give their answer to the question. Encourage students to take notes on the discussion; this will help them with the upcoming writing assignment. Lead the students through a discussion of the various roles women played and impact of those roles on the British Empire. It is at this point that you may fill in information you think they may have neglected to uncover in their questioning. Clarify any misconceptions that might have arisen.
- DBQ Assignment: When it is clear that the students have grasped the lessons material, proceed with the DBQ assignment. They will notice that not all of the documents are the same as those analyzed in class. Review the writing assignment with the students and assign a due date.
Possible enrichments activities for this lesson include:
- Internet research: Allow students to search for other women who impacted the British Empire during the Age of Imperialism. What role did they play? Did they support the empire?
- Create your own DBQ: Have students use the Internet and classroom resources to find documents to create their own DBQ. Students can be required to find five related documents and write a question tying them together.
- A presentation on bias: Students can be assigned to find documents representing a specific point of view (African, Indian, British). Those students can then present the impact of British imperialism from those points of view.

Sam Bradford has been tabbed for the starting quarterback job at Oklahoma. OU head coach Bob Stoops made the announcement Tuesday.
Stoops said the decision was actually made Sunday and that Bradford took snaps with the first team during Monday's practice.
Bradford, a redshirt freshman from Oklahoma City, emerged from a battle with Joey Halzle, a junior, and Keith Nichol, a true freshman.
"We feel very good about all three of those guys," Stoops said. "All three have made great improvement and contributed a lot to our program.
"We are going with Sam because he earned the position. We expect both Joey and Keith to continue working hard and competing for playing time just like all our players do at every position. There may be an opportunity for them at some point and it will be important for them to be ready."
Bradford, the son of former Sooner offensive lineman Kent Bradford, redshirted at OU last season. During his prep career at Putnam City North High School he was an all-state selection after throwing for 2,422 yards and 19 touchdowns in his senior season.
Bradford also was a standout for the PC North basketball and golf teams.
Oklahoma opens the 2007 season Sept. 1 when it hosts North Texas. Kickoff is set for 6 p.m., and the game is sold out.

is an extension of my book, Sick and Tired of Being Broke: The first steps on the road to financial independence for Everyday People. The book recounts the first steps on my journey to becoming debt-free and financially independent. I wrote the book for others like myself who grew up without the benefits of basic financial information. My hope is that together we will uncover the information that we need to set ourselves free - free from the bondage of debt.
Financial information is the key to change.
Unfortunately, for most of us, basic financial information is not taught in schools. We live in a country that continues to pass out diplomas to people who lack healthy financial skills, creating a society not prepared to handle the financial ups and downs of everyday living. The road to financial freedom is paved with information; join me on my journey.

The Infiniti FX45 was introduced along with the FX35, which is essentially the same crossover with a different engine. Both models build on the same FM platform, which the Nissan 370Z also shares.
The Infiniti FX45 is a midsize luxury crossover sport utility vehicle (SUV), manufactured by Infiniti, a luxury vehicle brand under Nissan, since 2003. The FX45 replaced the Infiniti QX4, and it measures noticeably larger than its predecessor. The FX45 launched along with its direct competitors: the Volvo XC90 and Porsche Cayenne.
Since its introduction in 2003, the Infiniti FX45 has come to be known by several nicknames, with the two most popular ones being "bionic cheetah" and "giant scarab." The crossover design aims to blend the rigid lower body of an SUV perfectly with the elegant and smooth upper body of sports GT and classic sports cars. In terms of performance, the engineers at Nissan intended to combine the functionality of an SUV with the performance of a sports car. The Infiniti FX45 succeeds in both aspects, which comes as a surprise for most automotive enthusiasts. The FX45 achieves in reality what other carmakers can only claim, and it represents the only real new-genre vehicle among other luxury SUVs that either look like magnified wagons or small SUVs.
In spite of its novelty, not many Infiniti FX45 vehicles have been sold. The FX series still continues to this day, but the FX45 model in particular only saw production during the first generation. The modern second generation incarnation of the Infiniti FX45 is called the FX50. While in production, the FX45 remained less popular than its less powerful sibling, the FX35. The inadequate sales can be attributed to the fact that the FX sacrifices several elements found in its competitors. These elements include cargo space and a third-row seat.
The 2008 model Infiniti FX45 marked the end of the first generation FX. It came in a single trim level with all the necessary equipment. As per its name, a 4.5-liter V-8 engine powers the Infiniti FX45. The engine delivers 320 hp and 335 lb-ft of torque. This offers more than the pre-2006 models, which contain a 315 hp and 329 lb-ft V-8 engine of the same displacement.
The vehicle comes standard with a five-speed automatic transmission gearbox, along with other features such as anti-lock disc brakes, an all-wheel-drive system, and traction and stability control. The vehicle borrows the looks of the Infiniti G35 sport sedan, but this shows only one of its similarities to sports cars. The Infiniti FX45 sits on 20-inch wheels and a sport-tuned suspension, both of which give it one of the best handlings in its class.
The throaty V-8 engine in the Infiniti FX45 allows the vehicle to accelerate from standstill to 60 mph in 6.3 seconds; it can reach 100 mph in about ten seconds more. The FX45 completes a quarter mile stretch in 14.8 seconds and has an electronically limited top speed of 115 mph.
The Infiniti FX45 debuted in 2003 along with the FX35, which comes with a rear-drive and all-wheel-drive system. The FX45, on the other hand, only offers an all-wheel-drive system. The 4.5-liter VK45DE V-8 engine has 32 valves, with four valves per cylinder. The camshafts are micro-finished, and its head and block are made of aluminum alloy. Low-friction molybdenum coats the pistons, and the intake and exhaust valves are made of titanium. All these elements, along with the presence of a super-silent, single-stage drive chain and continuously variable valve timing, make the engine very efficient. However, only 1,598 units of the Infiniti FX45 saw production by the 2007 model year. This amounts to just a tenth of the number of FX35 models that sold.
The Infiniti FX45 received a facelift for 2006, with certain standard features and brand new options. The facelift includes a redesigned wheel, front bumper, and grille and paint schemes on the outside. The interior of the vehicle shows off an updated color screen and center console. Many options on earlier models became standard in 2006. These features include the seven-inch color display, RearView monitor, a 300-watt Bose audio system, an Advanced Airbag System, heated front seats, and leather seat covers.
The Infiniti FX45 also received additional upgrades such as 20-inch wheels, a Bluetooth system, a 10-way power driver's seat, and eight-way power for the passenger's seat. The revised suspension boasts a four-wheel independent sports-tuned suspension and new dampers.
The facelift model Infiniti FX45 marks the first passenger vehicle in the U.S. market to include a lane-departure warning system. This new safety system uses a camera that tracks lane markers and alerts passengers in the vehicle through an audio buzzer if the vehicle drifts across lanes unintentionally.
