  • Digging in and Rising up Creighton Healthcreighton Sciences Campus Message from the President
    FALL 2019 • • 2019 FALL Volume 35 Issue 3 35 Issue Volume Digging In and Rising Up Creighton Health Sciences Campus Taking Form in Phoenix Message from the President Expanding Our Horizons Follow me: n September, we celebrated a ceremonial groundbreaking for the new Creighton University Health Sciences – Phoenix Campus. @CreightonPres A wonderful complement to our outstanding health sciences CreightonPresident programs in Omaha, this campus, scheduled to open in fall 2021, will eventually serve as an educational hub for nearly 900 Creighton health professions students in Phoenix. Nearly 200 students are currently engaged in our established nursing and medical programs in the city. National data shows a critical shortage of health care professionals in the ISouthwest, and in Arizona and Phoenix, particularly. It is our hope and belief that a new generation of Creighton health professionals — educated in both Omaha and Phoenix — will help address this increasing demand, and do so in Creighton’s Jesuit, Catholic tradition of excellence in academics, clinical care, and service. I join with our Phoenix health care partners, community and government leaders, and organizations and individuals who offer their philanthropic support in expressing my excitement for this new campus and its possibilities. Closer to home, I am also pleased that our enrollment numbers remain robust, in light of an increasingly competitive national enrollment environment. We welcomed the third-largest freshman class this fall, with 1,076 students, to record our second-largest total enrollment of 8,821. Of note, our new physician assistant program is well subscribed, with 24 students. This fall, we also hosted our inaugural Mission Week on campus.

  • Avenged Sevenfold's “Nightmare”
    Avenged Sevenfold’s “Nightmare” -A Ritik Edition Formed in California, USA, in 1997 Avenged Sevenfold is one of the most famous and well known heavy metal bands in the industry with millions in album sales and in music video views. The band is comprised of, Matt Shadows - Vocals, Synyster Gates - Lead Guitar, Zacky Vengeance - Rhythm guitar, Johnny Christ - bass, The Rev - Drums, 1998-2010, Mike Portnoy - Drums, 2010-2010, Arin Ilejay, 2011-2015, Brooks Wackerman - Drums 2015- Present. “Nightmare” is American heavy metal band, Avenged Sevenfold’s fifth official studio release. The album was released in 2010, and falls in the heavy metal/alternative rock genre. Clocking in at 66 min and 49 sec with 12 songs and one bonus song; “Nightmare” is known for its heavy and mysterious vibes that its songs emit. Nightmare can be categorized as Avenged Sevenfold’s most divergent album as their late drummer Jimmy Sullivan died halfway through the production of the album. This album has been said to have one of the strongest line up of songs with little to no album “filler songs.” Track 1- Nightmare This self titled track is the grand opening of the album and portrays a hard rock and heavy intro to the album with a bang. The song is about six minutes long with a catchy chorus and tear jerking bridge that refers to the death of their late drummer The Rev.This song’s music video also consists of a theme that the dead still live on, and is based in a mental asylum where the nightmares of the patients come to life.

    CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION This chapter deals with background of the study, problems of the study, objectives of the study, significance of the study, scope and limitation of the study and definition of the key terms. 1.1. Background of the Study In relation to cohesive devices, there have also been many studies, for instance, Hameed (2008), Kurniati (2011), Fakude and Sharndama (2012), Arlina (2015), Laeli (20015). They use journal articles, academic papers, short story, as their data sources. Kurniati, Arlina and Laeli use cohesive devices in their undergraduate thesis. Arlina wants to find out the kind of grammatical and lexical cohesion that occur in the short story and how often they occur in percentage. Kurniati uses the introduction sections of academic papers as her data and she wants to identify types of cohesive devices that occur in her data. Laeli, she uses the Jakarta Post newspaper as her main data. Ahmeed, focus on part of cohesive devices. Making comparative analysis of cohesive devices used in profesional and popularized legal texts by using Halliday and Hasan’s theory are done by Fakude and Sharndama.

    Key Topics on End-of-Life Care for African Americans An intellectual discourse derived from The Last Miles of the Way Home 2004 National Conference to Improve End of Life Care for African Americans IN COLLABORATION WITH: Duke Institute on Care at the End of Life Initiative to Improve Palliative Care for African Americans (IIPCA) Supported by a grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation May 30, 2006 Dear Reader: On behalf of the project team, authors and participants, I welcome you to read the manuscripts that we have published in this electronic book form, titled Key Topics on End of Life Care for African Americans. These manuscripts represent the most important subject areas covered in a landmark national conference called The Last Miles of the Way Home©, presented in Atlanta, Georgia in 2004. The Last Miles© conference was the first of its kind, giving voice to issues in end of life decision-making and caregiving unique to African-American patients, families and communities. The topics covered in this book range from the impact of health disparities on end of life decision-making to spiritual aspects of care at life’s end, to sociological and cultural perspectives on death and dying and finally, even to health policy considerations. The authors represented here are leading thinkers in this field. This series of papers will provide useful information for individuals and organizations interested in increasing their understanding of African-American perspectives on end-of-life care that influence important questions such as access to hospice and palliative care, and the quality of care delivered in those settings.
