  • Cathelicidin

    Cathelicidin-related antimicrobial peptides are a family of polypeptides found in lysosomes of macrophages and polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs), and keratinocytes. Cathelicidins serve a critical role in mammalian innate immune defense against invasive bacterial infection. The cathelicidin family of peptides are classified as antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). The AMP family also includes the defensins. Whilst the defensins share common structural features, cathelicidin-related peptides are highly heterogeneous.

    Members of the cathelicidin family of antimicrobial polypeptides are characterized by a highly conserved region (cathelin domain) and a highly variable cathelicidin peptide domain.

    Cathelicidin peptides have been isolated from many different species of mammals. Cathelicidins were originally found in neutrophils but have since been found in many other cells including epithelial cells and macrophages after activation by bacteria, viruses, fungi, or the hormone 1,25-D, which is the hormonally active form of vitamin D.

    Ice

    Ice is water frozen into a solid state. Depending on the presence of impurities such as particles of soil or bubbles of air, it can appear transparent or a more or less opaque bluish-white color.

    In the Solar System, ice is abundant and occurs naturally from as close to the Sun as Mercury to as far as the Oort cloud. Beyond the Solar System, it occurs as interstellar ice. It is abundant on Earth's surface  particularly in the polar regions and above the snow line  and, as a common form of precipitation and deposition, plays a key role in Earth's water cycle and climate. It falls as snowflakes and hail or occurs as frost, icicles or ice spikes.

    Ice molecules can exhibit up to sixteen different phases (packing geometries) that depend on temperature and pressure. When water is cooled rapidly (quenching), up to three different types of amorphous ice can form depending on the history of its pressure and temperature. When cooled slowly correlated proton tunneling occurs below 20 K giving rise to macroscopic quantum phenomena. Virtually all the ice on Earth's surface and in its atmosphere is of a hexagonal crystalline structure denoted as ice Ih (spoken as "ice one h") with minute traces of cubic ice denoted as ice Ic. The most common phase transition to ice Ih occurs when liquid water is cooled below 0°C (273.15K, 32°F) at standard atmospheric pressure. It may also be deposited directly by water vapor, as happens in the formation of frost. The transition from ice to water is melting and from ice directly to water vapor is sublimation.

    Ice (Nowra novel)

    Ice is a 2008 novel by Australian novelist Louis Nowra.

    Plot summary

    A pair of ambitious young British entrepreneurs, Malcolm McEacharn and Andrew McIlwraith, charter a steamer with the aim of towing an iceberg from Antarctica to Sydney. The success of the venture transforms Sydney, and McEacharn who later becomes lord mayor of Melbourne.

    A small meteor hits the sun, causing disastrous consequences for the Earth. Los Angeles is, just as the rest of the world, covered with a layer of ice and snow. The government has collapsed and everyone is on their own. Chaos and crime prevails. Together with scientist Dr. Kistler and a small group of survivors, L.A. cop Robert Drake leaves in the direction of Long Beach Harbor to meet with a government ship which will take them to Guam, where it is warmer.

    Get Off My Dick and Tell Yo' Bitch to Come Here (Remix)

    by: Ice Cube

    Stay off his dick!
    Nigga, some don't think I can flow, so here we go
    to a new track, to show the wack, that I can throw
    styles that show up, I blow up and blast here
    Niggaz still trippin off the shit I said last year
    About a bitch is a bitch is a hoe is a slut
    And I don't like niggaz on my nuts!
    So I dedicate this one to the groupie
    And the Charlie, all on my Snoopy
    Brothers keep askin, "Ice Cube yo when will you bust"
    They surround me and make a big fuss
    Now I was taught, back on my block
    That you don't ride on nobody's jock
    for anything they do, FUCK him and his crew
    Unless, you were gettin paid too!
    I'm not saying this to diss each and every fan
    Women you can ride, man be a man!
    Shake my hand, and make it a FIRM shake
    Say, "Whattup Ice Cube?" and then break
    Cause if you're hangin there I'ma tell you loud and clear
    Get off my my dick nigga, and tell your bitch to come here
    [cut n scratch of Flavor Flav saying "stay off his dick"
    and Ice Cube saying "all on my Snoopy"]
    [cut n scratch of Flavor Flav saying "yo yo check this out"
    and Ice Cube saying "I'ma tell you loud and clear"]
    Motherfucker, back up off me
    I'm not signin no autographs, I'm not givin no free t-shirts
    And I'm not HAVIN none of this bullshit you're talkin
    YouknowhatI'msayin?
    ("Get off my dick nigga, and tell your bitch to come here")
    I step into the club, to rub-a-dub
    It seems like all the little hoes fall in love
    with my money, cause yo about a year ago
    I was just your ordinary average everyday crazy ass bro
    But you know, I just can't be equal
    Cause they know, I know a lot of famous people
    But to a one-night stand, there's no sequel
    Here's the pickle, pretend it's a popsicle
    See for a fat booty, I do damage
    They think I'm a star, so I take advantage
    It's just another Ice Cube groupie test
    She's a hoe cause they knew her at the front desk
    Told her to meet me, at the room 110
    And the bitch showed up, with her boyfriend
    I let him in, all he could do was grin
    He had a camera, a t-shirt, a pad and pen
    He said, "Yo Ice Cube, can you sign this?"
    I only did it cause his bitch was the finest
    She blew me a kiss and gave a bitter frown
    Like - how can we get rid of this clown?
    Me and her sat down, he got a little jealous
    Cause his punk ass sat in the middle of us
    And he asked me question after question
    It felt like a motherfuckin interview session
    Then his girl got up, I heard the do' shut
    And he was still there, swingin from my nuts
    I said, "Get the FUCK out!" and made it loud and clear
    Get off my dick nigga, and tell your bitch to come here
    I see me about ten mark ass motherfuckers fans
    knock on the door, talkin about whassup?
    Yo man, it was about a hundred and twenty dicks man
    Niggaz start, niggaz comin out of hotel rooms
    without no bitches!
    They can get gaffled like they in a motherfuckin raffle
    Punk ass
    Yo, I respect the respectable
    If your girl is all on my dick, check the hoe
    Say, "Yeah that nigga he can rap fly
    But you know, stars are up in the sky"
    Cause all I got is hard dick, and bubblegum
    Just ran out my last stick is where I'm comin from
    I'm not tellin you to diss Mr. Ice Cube
    Cause you know, I'm the one that can show and prove
    Now groupie girls, I just make em wait
    But the groupie boys, I can't tolerate
    I hate it so much, I'ma start givin stitches
    to the niggaz that's starin like bitches
    Cause I'm not a fairy, a Mary or a faggot
    Gimme the eye, I'll fly, and tag it
    Now you see? Jockin ain't healthy
    Cause you think that I'm young and I'm wealthy?
    With juice, so I see you try to run behind
    But I'ma tell you punk, you gets none of mine
    Cause I was taught, see a fool, use a fool
    by the niggaz who terrorized the old school
    So don't try me or buy me a beer
