Cryptologic digital network analysts in the Marine Corps are tasked with analyzing and collecting digital network signals for intelligence purposes. It’s up to them to measure, evaluate and classify such signals, as well as provide support for traditional signals intelligence (SIGINT) gathering.

A Marine interested in this job must hold another MOS, usually in the signals intelligence field before he or she can be appointed to this job....

Muirfield Village Golf Club, the creation of Jack Nicklaus, is in Dublin, Ohio, outside Nicklaus’ hometown of Columbus, Ohio. It is the site every year of the Memorial Tournament on the PGA Tour, which is Nicklaus’ tournament.

Though it was considered by purists to be Soul music’s first sellout move, the rise of Philly Soul actually resulted in more R&B airplay than pop smashes, proving that R&B had grown up and become sophisticated while keeping its doo-wop heart. Vocal groups from Philly (and Detroit, and occasionally elsewhere) found in the genre a perfect outlet for Black music’s romanticism, its love of the beat, and its social consciousness, all at once....

Vernon Elliott (1938-2009) was arguably the greatest pool hustler ever—a pocket billiards legend who never played in tournaments but defeated many of history’s greatest players, often taking their money in the process.

My definition of optimized supply chain management goes something like, “getting your customers what they want, when they want it—and doing it by spending as little money as possible.” A very crucial part of optimizing your supply chain includes controlling your inventory. Your inventory accuracy objective should be 100% and if you’re not consistently at greater than 99%, you need to put your desk in the middle of the warehouse until you are....

There’s nothing better than an easel for keeping a painting in place while you’re working on it. Working vertically also means you’re working on the same plane where the painting will hang. This reduces the risk of spilling anything on the painting and prevents dust from collecting on it. You can work sitting on a stool or standing, though standing at an easel makes it easier to step back to see how the painting is progressing....

When playing a golf tournament with teams of four, there are a number of different formats golfers can utilize to even the playing field and make a fun, friendly competition for the athletes, one of which is known as the Fourball Alliance Tournament. In the Fourball Alliance, or “Four-ball/4-ball Alliance,” Stableford scoring is used where each hole uses a preset number of players’ scores from each team to calculate the team’s score; more often than not, this means just the two best scores from the team of four, but it can include up to all four player’s scores....

Acclaimed music video director Samuel Bayer successfully turns “Wake Me Up When September Ends,” Green Day’s elegy about the death of lead vocalist Billie Joe Armstrong’s father, into a hymn to the pain suffered by the entire U.S. No specific political stance is advocated, and no solutions are given. The massive emotional pain of wartime is simply and effectively acknowledged in a very simple story of two young people. The Pros...

All of those people you see wandering around the background of your favorite movies and television shows are called “extras.” Extras are actors and actresses who serve as “dressed background.” They help to sell the idea that a scene is filled with real people just going about their daily business.
