Doctoral Essays: How They Can Assist You in Your Research
- Traditionally, the place you would be looking for sources for your own research are university libraries. Along with the printed editions, students make wide use of online sources nowadays. However, the latter are mostly limited to research articles in peer-reviewed journals that are published online.
- In fact, the scope of your research may be dramatically enlarged if you look through the doctoral essays. Most typically, doctoral essays are stored in online databases, and some universities even have specialized online databases for doctoral essays.
- It is significant to know that most doctoral essays are represented by abstracts. Therefore, if you want to get full access to them, you might need to purchase them from the educational institution that hosts the doctoral essays database.
- In addition, you may turn directly to the library where the unpublished doctoral essay is filed. In this case you may get direct access to the doctoral essay of your interest.
Doctoral Essays: How to Use
Please note that doctoral essays are original research, and therefore should be properly cited. To avoid plagiarism, provide the necessary citations every time you use ideas and materials from a doctoral essay.
South Lee County students play with the big dogs
They drooled a little and they didnt mind being patted, kissed, hugged or even ridden.
Paxton, a 2-year-old St. Bernard and therapy dog, and her 3-month-old sister, Venus, visited more than 150 second- and third-graders at Three Oaks Elementary in south Lee County on Friday.
Gail Ghigna Hallas, a registered nurse who lives in Lehigh Acres, owns both dogs and has a passion for education.
Hallas is founder of The Winning Kids Club, a nonprofit that offers classes in guitar, creative writing, Braille literacy and tactile art for sighted and blind children throughout Lee County.
Paxton, who weighs 165-pounds, has been trained specifically to deal with children, she said.
Dogs can teach kids a lot, she said. Paxton has special skills. She can read flash cards, Hallas said.
As proof, she held up a large flash card, a command for High 5. Paxton pushed up an enormous paw and slapped Hallas hand.
This skill inspires children with learning challenges to read, Hallas said. The dogs also teach about comfort and unconditional love.
Hallas and Paxton also drove through the South last spring to provide comfort to children and families affected by tornados.
She shared their adventures with the children at Three Oaks and her stories blended in with their lessons.
Paxton teaches compassion, understanding, patience and tolerance, said Patricia Howell, who teaches gifted classes at the school. Its about using positive language and putting positive thoughts into the world.
Thats exactly what Hallas, Paxton and Venus are trying to accomplish.
Kirsten Drummond took her fourth- and fifth-grade ESE students to meet the two St. Bernards.
These kids hate writing, Drummond said. But we were talking about the dogs and they were so excited that we decided to write poems. Their faces lit up and they wrote the most beautiful poems Ive ever seen.

ESPN President Shares Career Advice, Longhorn Network Insight
Get up early. Love what you do. Watch out for other people. Find balance. Do everything with integrity.
That is the advice that George Bodenheimer, president and CEO of ESPN, gave to students on Sept. 8, 2011, during a public talk with Eric Hirst, associate dean of the McCombs School of Business, as a part of the VIP Distinguished Speaker Series. The series is presented annually by the Undergraduate Business Council.
During the talk, Bodenheimer explained his climb to the top of ESPN and the current state of the new Longhorn Network.
Bodenheimer held many odd jobs throughout his younger years, including pumping gas, caddying and bartending. After graduating from Denison University in 1980 with a bachelor’s degree in economics, Bodenheimer knew that he wanted to find a way to use his degree in the sports arena.
When every team in Major League Baseball turned him down, a family friend helped set Bodenheimer up with a job working as a driver for a mailroom at ESPN. The job paid less than a year of tuition cost at Denison, but Bodenheimer decided to look at it as a career decision, not a money decision. It turned out to be a smart choice because Bodenheimer has since climbed his way to the top of the ESPN ladder and has become the company’s longest-tenured top executive, having now worked at ESPN for 30 years.
Bodenheimer told students you should always be a “student of the business” and continue learning and applying new knowledge throughout your career. Those people, Bodenheimer said, are the kind of people he looks for when considering promotions.
“Never stop learning,” Bodenheimer said. “Apply what you are doing. Have passion, integrity, and optimism.”
When Hirst and Bodenheimer opened the floor for student questions, many people asked about the current state of the Longhorn Network. Bodenheimer explained that he considers the network a success right off the bat, based on its first-rate production, but admits that they need to continue working on distribution. Bodenheimer is excited for the possibilities the network has for the university, as well as for opening Austin to the world, helping it to continue growing and evolving.
Bodenheimer also shared that ESPN has not considered creating networks for any other universities in the country.

Nerves in the audience were calmed when Bodenheimer explained that ESPN has contracts to broadcast games held in all of the college football conferences. If UT leaves the Big 12 and conferences realign, ESPN will have to adapt to the way they wish to organize.
Bodenheimer also answered many other questions from students on a broad range of topics. Audience members learned that Bodenheimer is on the fence about adding more mixed martial arts programming to ESPN, favors the Giants to win the Super Bowl and lists Arnold Palmer as his favorite athlete.
After all that he has accomplished in his career, Bodenheimer says he feels proudest of himself when he is watching ESPN employees working together and maintaining family values, two virtues that his parents instilled in him.
“I love what I do here at ESPN,” Bodenheimer said. “I believe in the people of ESPN…That’s the culture of the company and that’s what I’m most proud of.”
Can We Educate Our Way Out of the Unemployment Crisis?
President Barack Obama spent yesterday in California, fielding questions about creating economic opportunity and putting America back to work at a Silicon Valley town hall hosted by social media site LinkedIn. As the nation grapples with a 9.1 percent unemployment rate, the connection between education and ending the nations unemployment crisis dominated the conversation.
“When we were at our peak it was in large part because we were doing a better job than anyone else in the world in training our workers,” Obama told the crowd. “The rest of the world is catching up.” He pointed out that China and India are increasing the number of high school and college graduates well-trained in math and science and ready for the tech jobs of the future, while the United States still struggles with ending its high school dropout crisis.
Indeed, the high dropout rate is sure to continue to spell bad news for the American economy. Its become trendy to question the value of a college degree, but August data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that the more education someone has, the better chance she has of being employed. Only around 5 percent of the nations almost 47 million college graduates are currently unemployed. In comparison, 8.2 percent of people with only some college or an associates degree and 9.6 percent of people with only a high school diploma are unemployed. Hardest hit are the nations high school dropouts: almost 15 percent are jobless.
But what about those unemployed workers that already have a degree? When an out-of-work IT analyst from Chicago asked what kind of education and training programs she should seek out to boost her future job prospects, the president acknowledged that the current education system and labor market makes it tough to pick up new skills. “The one thing we can do is to make it easier for you to go back to school if you think there are skill sets that you need,” he said.
A request for words of encouragement from another unemployed IT worker who was laid off after 22 years on the job, spurred the president to make it clear that “the problem is not you. Its the economy as a whole.”
The president said that people like the IT workers, who already have degrees and marketable job skills, will be in demand once the nation gets its fiscal house in order and companies start hiring again. However, he warned, if we dont fund education reforms and “dont prepare our people with the skills they need, were going to have problems.”
Deal of the Day Sites- Do they make you spend “More” for “Less”
Deal of the Day Sites- Do they make you spend “More” for “Less” 
The Article looks at the pros and cons of the “one deal a day”, “deal of the day” or “discount deal” sites and the behavioural patterns of customers
Deal of the day, one deal a day or bargain websites are increasingly becoming popular and a hot discussion amongst family and friends (well next to Facebook posts!) for dinners, outings, vacations, gadgets or even for a haircut. The reason for a huge success of these websites can be attributed primarily for the following reasons
Now the lop side of things, most of these websites grip their customer, and why not, it’s great value. In fact, the generous freebies are for the loyalty and repeat business that they achieve. To add fuel to the fire, you get to use your credit card and maybe also the revolver effect of it! Most of the times a customer may end up buying stuff they may not in their normal courses of their lives for e.g. that off hand “mini vacation” or that multiple vouchers of sushi…etc.
To sum it up these discount deals are a great concept once it’s not overdone by customers. It may help if a customer thinks for a moment before hitting the “Buy” button if they really want that deal or can be avoided without a pinch of difference on their lives.
