Marines looking for career opportunities outside their regular military occupational specialty (MOS) can seek what’s known as a B-billet. This is a chance for them to progress in their careers while getting valuable on-the-job experience. A billet is not a standard Marine Corps job, and as such doesn’t typically have a MOS associated with it. But many are classified under billet designators which serve as a placeholder for billets that fall outside the traditional job duties....

There’s little question that technology has significantly changed the way police do business. Just as true is the notion that our ever-advancing technology is changing the type of crimes that police detectives investigate altogether, hence the rise in digital forensics jobs. Cyberspace is increasingly becoming a “high crime neighborhood,” and the need for a police presence is readily apparent. That’s where the field of digital and multimedia sciences and people like John Irvine come in....

Moisture is one of the most challenging issues that can affect door appearance. If you apply the correct finish treatment, your doors might be able to stay as neat as the day they were installed. Some doors might dry depending on the environment in which they are installed, as the moisture inside them evaporate when they are installed at drier places, and so the door will shrink and warp. However, there is always something you can do to prevent that from happening....

Bill France, Sr. was born on September 26th, 1909 and grew up near Washington, D.C. He taught himself mechanics in his younger years and took formal training in banking. Bill France’s first “real” job was as a bank clerk — his father worked at the Park Savings Bank, so perhaps he was following in his footsteps. It was a short-lived career, however, because Bill never really felt that banking was his calling....

They may look funny and make you walk like a penguin, but scuba fins are highly engineered pieces of precision gear, and choosing the right type is essential to enjoyable, effective diving. While fins for snorkeling and swimming may be made of rubber, plastic or a combination of materials, those used for scuba diving are usually high-quality polyurethane or polypropylene. Different fins are designed for different types of diving, so a scuba fin that is appropriate for gentle drift diving in the Caribbean may not work well for cave diving....

A “demo day” in golf is a scheduled event at which golfers in attendance have the chance to try different golf clubs and equipment. It’s an event, to put it another way, at which golf club companies demonstrate their equipment to golfers. Golf demo days are events put on by the golf club companies themselves, or by the hosting golf course, practice facility or pro shop. Sometimes the event is dedicated to the equipment of just one company, other times multiple manufacturers are represented....

If you’re a reggae fan, you’ve probably heard several urban legends about how Bob Marley died. He was in the prime of his career when he was diagnosed with cancer, which killed him at age 36. A devout Rastafarian, Marley’s faith would play a profound role in how he sought treatment. A Diagnosis of Melanoma In 1977, Bob Marley was diagnosed with malignant melanoma, a kind of skin cancer, after doctors found a lesion on a toe he’d injured in a soccer game....

Customer satisfaction is a variable that can be represented as a continuum ranging from “not at all satisfied” to “completely satisfied.” Some value between these extremes represents the level of satisfaction for a particular customer. Generally, market researchers consider the agreement between the point on the customer satisfaction scale and the actual opinion of the customer to be inexact.​ However, it is feasible and even likely that the point on the scale approximates the customer’s satisfaction....

Carburetor problems generally fall into three areas: too lean a mixture, too rich a mixture, or an incorrect adjustment. Luckily there are telltale symptoms that will tell you which problem you’re dealing with. Carburetors are relatively simple devices. Their primary function is to deliver the right amount of fuel/air mixture at a given throttle opening (as selected by the rider). However, as with all mechanical devices, carburetors require periodic tuning and service, and will eventually wear out....

On the surface, Olympic Rowing seems to be an event that is simple to understand. Most would assume that a team (crew) of athletes paddle (row) a boat (shell) in a race and the first one to cross the finish line wins. To boil Olympic Rowing down to that simple formula would be to do one of the oldest sports a grave injustice. There are so many different facets to this sport that further investigation reveals the difference between each event is actually rather confusing....

If you can answer that question definitively, then you can probably also tell us who it was that put the ram in the ram-a-lam-a-ding-dong. There’s little agreement on the definition of rock, much less the more specialized genre of classic rock. Rock ’n’ roll appears in many dictionaries, but its definitions vary substantially. It’s important to make a distinction between classic rock and oldies. Classic rock grew out of a radio format that used to be called AOR – Album Oriented Rock....
