Patricia Anne I. Lanugon C33 Since I was kid, my dream is to become a chef.

But my parents are both CPA and they believe that I will have a better future if I will take up Accountancy than Culinary Arts. But right now, I do not have any regrets with my choice. It is hard but my parents are always there to help and support me, it made my first term a lot easier. Cooking is still my hobby. I will still fulfilL my dream of having my own restaurant. I will be CPAchef! And just like anybody else, I want to have my own house, car, rest house around the Philippines, and travel around the world. I want to help the needy with the best extent that I can. The object that I feel represents me the most is a butterfly. Before becoming a butterfly, they are caterpillars. Caterpillars that are ugly and you would not expect to become such beautiful creatures. These caterpillars eventually canoe into a shell and emerge out of those shells as butterflies. I am a butterfly still in the development stage. Im not where I completely want to be - I havent achieved all the goals that Ive set for myself. College is my shell. Since I started college, Ive learned who I am and what I want, as well as skills that will help me excel in the future. Like a butterfly, I am growing and changing, finding my true colors in life. I am finding my wings so I can fly soon and be on my way.

The first decade of the 21st century brought a number of discoveries, mistakes and medical advances that influenced medicine from the patient's bedside to the medicine cabinet. In some cases, these advances changed deeply rooted beliefs in medicine. In others, they opened up possibilities beyond what doctors thought was possible years ago.

Throughout the ages knowledge has increased with the use of new technology. The use of new technology has been helpful in the discoveries that scientists have made in the medical field. We all know that it is impossible to find a cure for all diseases in the world, but if through the years, doctors and scientists continue to use their knowledge, maybe we will find cures to diseases that we never knew existed.
Scientists have engineered cells in the laboratory and used them to build organs that were successfully transplanted into humans. A few people are living healthy lives today with bioengineered bladders, windpipes, and urethra. Developing more complex organs, such as the heart or lung, will require major advances, but the techniques of regenerative medicine are already being used in other ways. Stem cell engineering allows scientists to safely test promising, but potentially dangerous, drugs in the laboratory. Stem cell research also is being used to develop treatments tailored to specific individuals the first steps toward the goal of affordable personalized medicine.

Regenerative medicine is the "process of replacing or regenerating human cells, tissues or organs to restore or establish normal function".[1] This field holds the promise of regenerating damaged tissues and organs in the body by replacing damaged tissue and/or by stimulating the body's own repair mechanisms to heal previously irreparable tissues or organs. Regenerative medicine also includes the possibility of growing tissues and organs in the laboratory and safely implant them when the body cannot heal itself This can potentially solves the problem of the shortage of organs available for donation, and the problem of organ transplant rejection if the organ's cells are derived from the patient's own tissue or cells.

We have to rely on skin grafts and organ transplants, with common risks of rejection, infection and multiple complications. However, according to Professor Mark Birchall and Dr Felicity Mehendale, our regenerative future is just around the corner. Organ transplants is a nightmare for patients and doctors due to long waiting lists, poor quality organs, and the risk of a life on devastating drugs is often inevitable. But this may all soon change, with the arrival of new technologies that allow stem cells to be grown into organs.

While the science behind regenerative medicine is extraordinarily complex, the idea behind it is simple. Take cells from a patient, engineer them in the laboratory, and then administer them back to the patient to restore or establish normal function of cells, tissues, or organs.

Scientists at the center also are studying the basic biology of stem cells. These researchers are discovering the nature of stem cells, how we make them, and what mechanisms control them. From the School of Engineering, researchers are discovering how to apply biological processes and materials to repair or replace damaged tissues.

Human stem cells can be expanded in the laboratory into the specific cells that we need such as heart muscle . In 2010, Professor Birchall was part of the team that gave a young boy a new trachea, built from his own stem cells onto the collagen skeleton of a donor trachea. It was hoped that this groundbreaking procedure would reduce chances of rejection, as the stem cells wouldnt induce an immune response. It worked, and its just the beginning.

The Human Genome Project and gene therapy is also taking a lead. The international effort to sequence every gene in the human genome was completed ahead of schedule. While gene therapy has not yet realized its full promise, researchers are able to share gene specific knowledge across the entire human genome database, and the project is credited with catalyzing the multibillion dollar U.S. biotechnology industry. The scale, cooperation, and long term promise of the project are remarkable.

Like many advanced technologies, the field of regenerative medicine has gone a breakthrough again in the span of just 30 years. Today, there are over 55 regenerative medicine products on the market focused on diverse therapeutic areas, including repair of skin, soft tissue, and many more. The regenerative medicine

market offers phenomenal opportunities for growth in the next few decades.

And Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. (He was priest of God Most High.) And he blessed him and said, Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth; and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand! And Abram gave him a tenth of everything. Genesis 14:18-20 Tithing is an Old Testament concept. The tithe was a requirement of the law in which all Israelites were to give 10 percent of everything they earned and grew to Temple. Some understand the Old Testament tithe as a method of taxation to provide for the needs of the priests and Levites in the sacrificial system. The New Testament nowhere commands, or even recommends, that Christians submit to a legalistic tithe system. Paul states that believers should set aside a portion of their income in order to support the church (1 Corinthians 16:1-2). The New Testament talks about the importance and benefits of giving. We are to give as we are able. Every Christian should diligently pray and seek Gods wisdom in the matter of participating in tithing and/or how much to give (James 1:5). Above all, tithes and offerings should be given with pure motives and an attitude of worship to God and service to the body of Christ. Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver (2 Corinthians 9:7).

To tithe is to freely give one-tenth of one's income annually to the Lord through His Church

The phrase holy, holy, holy appears twice in the Bible, once in the Old Testament (Isaiah 6:3) and once in the New (Revelation 4:8). The holiness of God is the most difficult of all Gods attributes to explain, partly because it is one of His essential attributes that is not shared by man. We are created in Gods image, and we share many of His attributeslove, mercy, faithfulness, and many more. But some of Gods attributes will never be shared by created beings like omnipresence, omnipotence, and holiness. Gods holiness is what separates Him from all other beings. Gods holiness embodies the mystery of His awesomeness and causes us to gaze in wonder at Him as we begin to comprehend just a little of His majesty. Isaiah was a firsthand witness of Gods holiness in his vision described in Isaiah 6. Even though Isaiah was a prophet of God and a righteous man, his reaction to the vision of Gods holiness was to be aware of his own sinfulness and to despair for his life (Isaiah 6:5). Even the angels in Gods presence, crying, Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty, covered their faces and feet with four of their six wings. Covering the face and feet denotes the reverence inspired by the immediate presence of God (Exodus 3:4-5). The reverence shown to God by the angels should remind us of our own presumption when we rush thoughtlessly and irreverently into His presence, as we often do because we do not understand His holiness.

The Bible tells us that God is just. This means that He is fair and impartial. It also means that He hates the ill-treatment and oppression of people and of nature, which He has created. The fact that God is just means that He can and will judge between right and wrong and He will administer justice in accordance with His standards. A God who did not care about the difference between right and wrong and did not judge humans for acting one way or the other would not be an admirable being worthy of our love or trust. The fact that God is just and will judge between right and wrong gives ultimate moral significance to 1 our lives and makes us accountable for our actions.

Where we see injustice on earth, it is at the hands of men, not of God. God has given men free will, but most men do not exercise it responsibly or in a way that lines up with Gods character as a just God. The time will come when God will judge the world and the people in it. He will dispose of evil and injustice and He will punish those who have turned away from Him and His standards. The Apostle Peter tells us that God is waiting because He is patient and wants everyone to have an opportunity accept His Sons sacrifice rather than paying the penalty that justice requires for their sins (2 Peter 3:9).
