chemistry:::
Toxic Substances
In the context of biology, toxic substances are substances that can cause damage, illness, or death to organisms, usually by chemical reaction or other activity on the molecular scale, when a sufficient quantity is absorbed by an organism. Legally and in hazardous chemical labeling, poisons are especially toxic substances; less toxic substances are labeled "harmful", "irritant", or not labeled at all.
In medicine, particularly veterinary and in zoology, a poison is often distinguished from a toxin and venom. Toxins are poisons produced via some biological function in nature, and venoms are usually defined as biologic toxins that are injected by a bite or sting to cause their effect, while other poisons are generally defined as substances which are absorbed through epithelial linings such as the skin or gut.
Toxins are referred to as naturally produced substances, such as the bacterial proteins that cause tetanus and botulism. A distinction between the two terms is not always observed, even among scientists.
Animal toxins that are delivered subcutaneously (e.g. by sting or bite) are also called venom. In normal usage, a poisonous organism is one that is harmful to consume, but a venomous organism uses poison to defend itself while still alive. A single organism can be both venomous and poisonous.
Within chemistry and physics, a poison is a substance that obstructs or inhibits a reaction, for example by binding to a catalyst. For example, see nuclear poison.
Paracelsus, the father of toxicology, once wrote: "Everything is poison, there is poison in everything. Only the dose makes a thing not a poison." The phrase "poison" is often used colloquially to describe any harmful substance, particularly corrosive substances, carcinogens, mutagens, teratogens and harmful pollutants, and to exaggerate the dangers of chemicals. The legal definition of "poison" is stricter. A medical condition of poisoning can also be caused by substances that are not legally required to carry the label "poison".
Uses of toxic substances
Throughout these years, intentional application of toxic substances has been used as a method of assassination, murder and suicide. On the whole, however, toxic substances are usually not used for their toxicity, but may be used for their other properties. The property of toxicity itself has limited applications: mainly for controlling pests and weeds, cleaning and maintenance, and for preserving building materials and food stuffs. Where possible, specific agents which are less poisonous to humans have come to be preferred.
Many toxic substances still in use are used for their chemical and physical properties rather than being poisonous. Many medications, such as aspirin and Tylenol, are toxic if ingested in sufficiently large quantities. Even alcohol can become toxic if too much is ingested in a short period of time. In laboratory environments, the most effective, easiest, safest, option for use in a chemical synthesis may be a poisonous material. If a toxic substance possesses these properties more exactly than a non-toxic one, the toxic substance is superior. Chromic acid is an example of such a simple to use reagent, but reactivity, in particular, is important. Hydrogen fluoride is both poisonous and extremely corrosive. However, it contains high free energy for silicon, which is exploited by using hydrogen fluoride to etch glass or to manufacture silicon semiconductor chips.
On the other hand, there are certain medical treatments make use of the toxicity of certain substances such as antibiotics. Antibiotics are highly disruptive to micro-organisms while having no effects upon humans. Another thing, the drugs which are used in chemotherapy are toxic, quite.
Decontamination of Toxic Substances
The absorption of toxic substances may be able to be decreased through gastric decontamination if the toxin was recently ingested. Gastric decontamination may be achieved using:
▪ Activated charcoal – treatment of choice to prevent absorption of poison. This activated charcoal is ineffective against metals, sodium, potassium, alcohol, glycol, acids and alkalis.
▪ Nasogastric aspiration – it involves the placement of a tube via nose down to the stomach of the person. The stomach contents are then removed through suction. It is usually used for liquid ingestions where activated charcoal is ineffective.
▪ Gastric lavage/stomach pump – it is where a tube is inserted into the stomach, followed by the pouring of water or saline down to the tube.
▪ Whole bowel irrigation – this is achieved by giving the patient large amounts of polyethylene glycol solution. Its major uses are following ingestion of sustained release drugs, toxins that are not absorbed by activated charcoal and for the removal of ingested packets of drugs.

MR. and MS. PHYSIQUE (red macintosh and yellow asus)
In the first day of the Intramurals '08, the Ms. and Mr. Physique were presented and after the ramp and some question and answer portion, the winner were announced. The whole campus was shocked when the representative of the yellow asus, Arianne Ramirez made the pause of the year where she "kasa" the gun and touch her skin. Then the fourth place were awarded to the GREEN ACERS, third place to BLUE VAIO, second place to RED MACINTOSH and the MS. and MR. PHYSIQUE '08 is awarded to YELLOW ASUS.

CHESS girls (red macintosh and blue vaio)
In the second day of the intramurals (October 7, 2008), the grand finals of CHESS boys anf girls were held. All the players from different teams compete to get the first place. The game took for more than thirty minutes and the game was ended. For the CHESS/girls category, RED MACINTOSH were awarded the first placer. For CHESS/boys category, YELLOW ASUS won.
In the third and fourth(extention day), the awarding and the last games to play were held. On the third day, in badminton all category, all the teams compete. For the boys/singles a, BLUE VAIO was the winner, for boys/singles b, still, BLUE VAIO won. For boys/doubles, RED MACINTOSH won. For girls category, BLUE VAIO, RED MACINTOSH and GREEN ACERS won respectively.
In the extention day, all the winners were called but there are no medals yet and thropies. The following is the arrangement of the over-all winner:
- fourth place = green ACERS(first years)
- third place = yellow ASUS(second years)
- second place = red MACINTOSH(third years)
- first place = blue VAIO(fourth years)

† Your the Inspiration †
Many seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months and years had passed and in that thirteen years of being with my mother,I can say that she is my inspiration. There are a lot of things that made me think that she is my one and only inspiration. She never give up until any thing that she had started was completed.I think she had put it in her mind the saying "never give up" and "try and try until you succeed". Another thing, she had a respect to one person even if she is older or younger in that very person. It's one of the best qualities that I liked. She never step on one person and she also keeps her feet on the ground.
She keeps on telling me that "anak, wag matigas ang ulo, sumunod lagi sa akin, dahil ito ay para din sa ikabubuti nyo..". She keeps on repeating it but still, we , we ain't listening to it. We still disobey the rules and her. But sometimes, I'm "nakokonsensya" because she is doing every thing for us and we're just disobeying her. But she keeps on loving us because she's our mother, our inspiration...

2nd week of my unfinished business!
Whoa, lots of bad and interesting stories happened within this "cursed" week! On Monday, haha, we didn't know that Joan an Jez are friends again. Whoa! Thanks GOD! Haizt, our only problem is the story between Lorena and Roxanne. Hay, I just can'e remember when but my mother excitedly said that she will be arriving this Sunday which is June 22, 2008 and I said that we will welcome her in the airport! (?) I can't wait fir that Sunday to come and see, embrace, and kiss my mother again. It had been two and two months since we last saw our mother. But still, another important event is coming my way. My birthday!!! (dugsh!) But I don't want anyone to know that it's my birthday because I want it to become a simple day for me. But Joan shouted that it's my birthday early in the afternoon in our room. BAD TRIP! (hehe) I received two letters, from Joan and Jez. When I went home, I didn't know that they prepared spaghetti for me. (wha3) During the flag retreat, we are in our science meeting so I'm safe from downs. But when we finished, we still join the platoon, but good thing the hair inspection had been done. Saturday for me just pass by so easily because I have nothing to do but surf the net and do my assignments. Then, storm Frank came. It's already Sunday, the day for it. But due to bad condition of the weather, the flight was cancelled. So we will just wait for another day to pass by and wait if the flight will go on! (bad trip!!!)
