Ufagetaboutit! Work at

Once again we at Simply Ghost Nights must send our deepest thank you to Mike the curator of Tatton Old Hall , who selflessly helped make the event run so smoothly, Mike gave all of us an informed history of the area and buildings to our group of ghost hunters.

Tatton Old Hall must be one of the most tranquil and scenic venues to hold a ghost event due to the beautiful scenery on the drive upto the Old Hall, the grazing deer that are literally an arm lengths away from your car as you approach the Old Hall. With this in mind would the spirits be as preoccupied as we were on our drive through to the Old hall, the answer was a resounding no, as the activity the spirits served up for us at Tatton Old Hall was simply amazing on this ghost night event.

In the Great Hall one group experienced some excellent glass divination when communicating with the spirit of Tom, and Tom informed the group that he had lived in the area in the 19th century. Also several ghost hunters in the group the experienced sensations of having their hair stroked. Another occurrence some of ghost hunters felt was as if their clothes were been pulled too, with no one in close proximity to them.

In the Great Hall to Sam, Joanne’s and Lees bewilderment the table tipped at an alarming rate in a table tipping experiment, the table tipped up onto two legs and twisted as well. This also was also witnessed by a staggered Linda and Janet who were totally amazed by what they were seeing.

Hazel, Andrew, Mark and Sally were taking part in a ouija board experiment and making spirit contact with a female spirit called Jane who informed the group that she had lived in the Old hall when it was used as cottages and one of the cottages had been her home. The group attained further personal

information from the ghostly inhabitant of Tatton Old Hall, Jane informed the group that she had indeed given birth to five children and that two had died in child birth, this disclosure did in fact give many of our ghost hunters a pause for thought.

In the smaller bedroom area of the Tatton a group were holding a ouija board experiment with the spirit of a little boy who unfortunately could not spell his name correctly due to him being illiterate as were many children in the days before state schools and full time education. However this did not stop the group ascertaining further information from the spectral child of the Old Hall, through the process of yes and no.

Rebates are something that everyone looks forward to; it typically means extra money for the consumer.  We see it all the time, whether it is for a new cell phone, furniture, and even for pharmaceutical products.  We are getting these products at the discounted rate, but what impact does this have on the manufacturer of the product?  In stable industries, a company will be able to recuperate from the rebated price based on the volume of products sold.  This however does not hold true with the pharmaceutical manufacturers, which pay rebates to health insurance companies for “preferred” statuses and access to their members.

In theory, the practice of contracting with individual health plans for access should work out in the favor of the manufacturer, but often times it does not and the manufacturer can lose money by having to great of access.   It all comes down to the market research and analytics to view what the optimal market share is needed for the company to start making money on its rebates.  Many companies are dropping the traditional “Preferred” contracts, making their product a “Non Preferred” product on a formulary to not only save money but to remain competitive within the market.  We’ve seen within recent years, the larger brand named products (Lipitor, Flomax, and Aricept) losing their patient exclusivity, allows for more generic products to be available at a lower cost to patients and to the insurance providers.  Which then puts the responsibility to provide a lower cost product, to both the health plan to cover and patient; which increases the plan’s profits and hurts the branded manufacturer’s profits.

 So what should a manufacturer who is producing branded pharmaceutical products do?  One course they can take is to truly evaluate their contracts where their products are listed in a preferred position and see if they have met the optimization level for the rebates they are offering.  If their product is performing at a market share that is less than optimal, they should either renegotiate the contract or remove it see how the product performs at a higher tier position.  Yes, this goes against the normal logical thinking, but remember within the next couple of years the generic drug population will increase and health plans will react to this by driving that utilization through various formulary controls.

In the end it’s going to be the determination of the manufacturer on how they are going to contract with the health plans, but with the rise in generics and the Affordable Care Act legislation pending, it leaves the pharmaceutical industry in an interesting paradigm moving forward.

Hours, days… months later and you are almost there. Your hard work is there on a screen all 15,000 beautifully constructed words – all positioned in such a manner that makes you the greatest academic who ever lived. And then it dawns on you, you’re not done… and a wash of panic comes over you. You haven’t formatted your dissertation; you know you must, so you shall. You can do it one of two ways – yourself (I remember doing my own formatting at undergrad level almost threw my laptop out of my third story flat), or give it to a professional (My postgrad dissertation was formatted professionally).  Correct dissertation formatting will give the impression that this piece of work is well structured, well-written and organised before it is read.

We are going to go through the basics of formatting and why it is important. As always, nothing we write here overrides your institutions’ guidelines – check what is expected of you.

The cover page outlines who you are, what school you belong to (i.e., Humanities and Social Sciences), the title of your dissertation and the date it is due in. This is important for obvious reasons, and there is a tool in word that automatically creates you a formatted cover page. Now before you create your contents page, format your margins first. As a rule a 1.7 left indent works, as it leaves ample room for binding and for reading.

The space of between your lines depends on your institutions requirements. They could insist on double lines throughout, with the exception of long quotes that should be single lined, or they could ask you to 1.5 space it. The font you use should be consistent throughout – perhaps there is nothing more distracting that reading half of a dissertation in 12 Times New Roman and half in 12 Arial, it leaves the reader questioning your formatting intentions rather than your argument.

A dissertation is a long piece of work, typically it is no less than 40 pages, thus it is important to break it up into sections and format those sections accordingly into the chapters you outlined on your contents page. These sections should be formatted in the header of your document.

But more importantly and what could cost you the big marks is your reference list. Every single source you mention in your work MUST be included in your bibliography/works cited. If you have not included a source, the worst case scenario is that your dissertation will be marked as zero, and you will be invited in for a meeting and either invited to confess to plagiarism and/or asked to rewrite your work. Make sure it is in alphabetical order and it looks exactly as the style guide says it needs to be.  There are numerous online guides on bibliographic formatting, in addition to your institutions.

If that all seems like far too much to be doing, let us format it for you, it is so important that you get it right and we can put your mind at ease.

Believe it or not, there are four types of sentences, usually in academic writing the most common form of sentence you will need to write is a statement sentence. A formal academic tone is required through the body of your statement, and it is no good to write exclamative sentences such as – T.S Eliot was a great man!  If however you wrote, T.S. Eliot was a great man because of his contribution to the twenty-century literary cannon this would work. Let’s unpack the types of sentences you can have.

Statements are the most common type of sentence. Statements impart information to the reader or listener. A statement sentence does not necessarily expect a response from its audience. I went for a walk along the riverbank is a statement.

Questioning sentences end with a question mark instead of a full stop and expect a response from someone – not necessarily the audience.  A questioning sentence has a distinct word order that is a reversal of a statement. The statement he likes chicken wings becomes Does he like chicken wings? Questioning sentences are not normally used in essay writing, as your job is to answer a question, however it is acceptable to address questions you may have in your introduction, while also answering them. For example, why did T.S. Eliot write poetry about isolation and loneliness? One could ascertain that the reason for this was that he was making an attempt to understand the world around him, using poetry as a tool.

You can also use rhetorical questions, if they are carefully placed, say at the end of a section. A rhetorical question does not expect an answer; it can be used as a device to drive your argument and to make the reader think in a broader context.

Directive sentences give orders to or to not do something. They usually don’t have a subject as it is obvious who is being addressed. Directives can be abrupt: Stop! Listen! Sit down and shut up! Or they can be simple instructions or invitations: please pass the mustard; come out for a drink with us. From these examples, it is clear that you should not use directive sentences in your essay writing, but understanding what the different types of sentences there are will only make you a much stronger and competent writer.

Exclamations – always end with an exclamation mark… and unless it is a direct quote, they should never be used in an essay, no matter how excited you are about writing. Exclamative sentences can show distress, upset, surprise, or approval. What fun! Let’s dance! How strange all of this is!

Proofreading services will check your work to make sure your sentence use is appropriately matched to your audience, it will also give you essay writing advise.
