Buck: A Memoir
Buck is a memoir by MK Asante, published by Random House/Spiegel & Grau. Buck tells the story of MK's youth growing up in Philadelphia from the perspective of MK as a teenager. Buck illustrates Asante's struggles with the disintegration of his family and the city's urban decay. Buck is often described as inspirational because it details Asante's discovery of his talent for writing at 16 and his decision to pursue it as a career. The paperback edition of Buck made the Washington Post Bestseller List in 2014 and 2015.
Critical reception
Buck was selected as a Barnes & Noble Discover Great New Writers pick. It was also an LA Times Summer pick and received starred reviews from both Publishers Weekly and Booklist. Buck was nominated for an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Literary Work. Buck is an Alex Award nominee and a recipient of the In the In The Margins Book Award.

Buck (crater)
Buck is a crater in the Navka region of Venus. It has the terraced walls, flat radar-dark floor, and central peak that are characteristic of craters classified as 'complex'. The central peak on its floor is unusually large. Flow-like deposits extend beyond the limits of the coarser rim deposits on its west and southwest. Like about half of the craters mapped by Magellan to date, it is surrounded by a local, radar-dark halo.

Tick
Ticks are small arachnids in the order Parasitiformes. Along with mites, they constitute the subclass Acarina. Ticks are ectoparasites (external parasites), living by hematophagy on the blood of mammals, birds, and sometimes reptiles and amphibians. Ticks are vectors of a number of diseases that affect both humans and other animals.
Despite their poor reputation among human communities, ticks may play an ecological role by ailing infirm animals and preventing overgrazing of plant resources.
Taxonomy
Of the three families of ticks, one – Nuttalliellidae – comprises a single species, Nuttalliella namaqua. The remaining two families contain the hard ticks (Ixodidae) and the soft ticks (Argasidae). Ticks are closely related to the numerous families of mites, within the subclass Acarina (see article: Mites of livestock).
The Ixodidae include over 700 species. They are known as 'hard ticks' because they differ from the Argasidae in having a scutum or hard shield. This shield generally can resist the force of a human's soft-soled footwear, especially on soft ground; it requires a hard sole on a hard surface to crush the tick. However, stepping on an engorged tick, filled with blood, kills it easily, though messily. In nymphs and adults of the Ixodidae, a prominent capitulum (head) projects forwards from the body; in this they differ from the Argasidae. They differ too, in their life cycle; Ixodidae that attach to a host will bite painlessly and generally unnoticed, and they remain in place until they engorge and are ready to change their skin; this process may take days or weeks. Some species drop off the host to moult in a safe place, whereas others remain on the same host and only drop off once they are ready to lay their eggs.
Tick (software)
Tick is time tracking software operated by The Molehill, headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, that offers online time tracking and reporting services through their website along with mobile and desktop applications. Tick tracks time based on clients, projects and tasks, either through a timer or through manual entry.
Features
Tick provides time tracking, management and reporting. API control is enabled for designers.
Tick features include:
Early SaaS & Ruby Adoption
Tick was one of the first software as a service applications to be built on the Ruby on Rails framework.
Commodity tick
Futures exchanges establish a minimum amount that the price of a commodity can fluctuate upward or downward. This minimum fluctuation (trade increment) is known as a tick or commodity tick. Hence, a tick is any fluctuation in the price of a security.
Each futures contract has a different size, quantity, valuation etc., so each tick size that can be applied to any one futures contract, is dependent on the previous variables. Tick size is important as it determines the possible prices available. For example, each "tick" for the grain market (soybeans, corn and wheat) is 0.25 cents per bushel, on one 5,000-bushel futures contract.

Sellout
by: Big WigHit the block around twenty to nine,
Checking my girl
But then I see this girl lookin' fine, so I
Asked her if she wouldn't mind,
Could you tell me your name and what you're doing tonight ?
Body like nothin' I seen,
She's telling me she's on the cover of GQ magazine.
Tellin' me she had to go...
So I dropped her at the spot in my four by four
- Bridge
So I told her ...
I can't be late,
The girl's taking up my time,
Had to hit her with a line,
So I told her ...
I can't wait to freak,
See you at the same time next week.
She said ...
- Chorus
Baby give me what you got,
Cos I'm everything that's she's not.
Love is all I bring,
In my khaki suit and thing.
So honey leave your girl at home,
With your car keys, mobile phone.
Love is all I got,
All the things that make you hot
Got my woman crazy on the phone,
She's talking bout why the f*** my ass ain't at home.
Had to tell her I was stuck,
In some brand new business, I was all tied up.
Told the girl I was late,
I had to rhyme.
I got to be backstage at a quarter past nine.
Telling me to change my mind ...
She's like Britney Spears Baby hit me one more time ...
- Bridge
- Chorus
