Romany Malco made his name in films such as Baby Mama, the 40 Year Old Virgin and Think Like a Man and on TV in hit shows such as Weeds. But it is his outspoken nature and command of social media that have garnered him legions of followers and detractors - and which led him to worry about accepting an offer from the USO to visit the troops in Afghanistan in early April. "My paranoia kicked in," he admits. "I have been so vocal about our government, the military, the role the Federal Reserve plays. I wasn't sure if I would go over there and have these soldiers pissed off at me. I talk a lot of shit." 2013-04-25-romany2.jpg

Romany's fans tend to be males between 17-35 years of age, making him a natural for visiting with our troops. But there was another reason, according to Malco, "I have a military background, was in the Marine Corps from 1987 to 1991. I just didn't want this to be a poseur mission. I like to be accessible and thought I was going to have to conspire to get past the posing, the Hollywood aspect of it." Romany's partner for the USO tour was actress Jill Wagner who he describes as "a very personable chick raised by a Marine. She's very down to earth and accessible."

Romany's first stop on the tour was Manas International Airport in Kyrgyzstan where he landed on April 2. "It hit me going through all these security checkpoints that it costs a lot of money to build a city inside of a city," he muses. "There's no reason you would spend this much money to build a base unless there was some way to monetize it."

Over the course of the next 10 days, Malco and Wagner were based at Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan, flying in Black Hawks to bases across the country. As Romany Malco recalls, "We literally went from base to base shaking hands and talking to people. Initially they formed a line for autographs but we said we came here to talk to you. No lines! Break out your camera phones and we'll record messages for your families back home. We ended up just hanging out with the troops. Sometimes I'd see Jill surrounded by 30 guys because she's gorgeous. I got to have in depth conversations about the soldiers' families, how they were raised, why they chose to enter the military."

When asked what the troops had in common, Malco says, "I realized the only way for them to be over there is to completely submerge themselves in the mission. You can pick the war apart politically or morally but that ain't going to get you nowhere. You have to become gung ho." He adds, "Here's what I noticed: Every single person I met made piercing eye contact, had a strong sense of purpose and was proud of what he was doing. What they thought personally about the war may have been very different."

Romany laughs when asked if he was ever in danger and recounts a night when he was awakened from his sleep by the shrill announcement, "Incoming! Incoming!" With the sound of exploding bombs in the distance, he put on his armor and helmet and went back to sleep. He also chose to sleep with the troops instead of in VIP quarters which were more secure.

Now back in the US, Romany Malco says he would happily go on another USO tour but he says that the experience in Afghanistan has changed him greatly. He is philosophical about his first-hand look at the war in Afghanistan: "These troops are away from their families for eight or nine months at a time. I'm crazy proud of them but no one can tell me why we are over there."

Afghanistan Withdrawal Talks: Joint Chiefs Chairman Visits To Assess Situation

BAGRAM, Afghanistan — A weekend visit to Afghanistan by the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is aimed at assessing the type and level of additional training that U.S. troops could provide to Afghan defense forces after 2014.

Gen. Martin Dempsey, who arrived at Bagram Air Field on Saturday after an overnight flight, said that assessment will inform U.S. decisions about how many American troops should remain after the U.S. and NATO combat role ends in December 2014.

The U.S. is expected to keep between 9,000 and 10,000 in a residual force, but no final decision has been made.

Dempsey was expected to meet with U.S. and allied commanders, including the new overall commander of coalition forces, Gen. Joseph Dunford. He also planned to meet with Afghan officials and talk with soldiers in the field.

Dempsey said Friday in Stuttgart, Germany, that he would like to see how Afghan forces perform this summer before determining the size of a residual U.S. force. There are now about 66,000 U.S. troops in Afghanistan, down from a 2010 peak of about 100,000.

Among the key issues for Dempsey is the pacing of U.S. troop withdrawals this year and next, as well as the rate of improvement among Afghan security forces.

Actually a good idea, but there’s a lot of time and effort involved in it. Approximately 150.000 hours are spent every day by users around the world trying to decipher CAPTCHAs. Sometimes they use distorted images like wavy letters or a background with a strong pattern, which makes it difficult for humans to read them too. ReCAPTCHA, which we use on motigo, aims not only to make this easier but also to give this lost time a useful purpose.

reCAPTCHA uses real words instead of the code fragments used by conventional CAPTCHAs. The words used by reCAPTCHA are words, which computers could not read when digitalizing a book. So, when you type a reCAPTCHA, you are actually helping to digitalize a book. Read more on the reCAPTCHA website .

Want to use a CAPTCHA on your website? Find out how in Tips&Tricks. For futher informations, please visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAPTCHA

]]>6mmirosavljevichttp://blog.motigo.com/?p=7002009-07-16T09:53:35Z2009-07-16T09:53:35Z

On http://recaptcha.net you get a free key for using the service on your website. In order to use reCAPTCHA, you need a public/private API key pair. This key pair helps to prevent an attack where somebody hosts a reCAPTCHA on their website, collects answers from their visitors and submits the answers to your site.

recaptcha3

To use reCAPTCHA, you only have to add a few lines of code to your website. For detailed instructions on using reCAPTCHA please visit reCAPTCHA’s website.

Page Views and Visits – what is the difference?

Page views is the view of one page in your website – every time a page is loaded, this is considered a Page View. It doesn’t make any difference if it is the same user visiting the page or not.

Visits are the number of individual visits to your website. This statistic is based on recognition of a browser cookie in the visitor’s browser. Therefore, the visitor is not counted again if he has already been visiting the site within the last 24 hours.

You can read more about the difference between Page Views and Unique Visitors here.

Still have questions? You can contact Motigo’s support team anytime!

Write the name of each of the main items (products, topics) of your website on paper cards. Give each user a set of cards ask him to sort them thematically. This will help you find out which topics belong together in the eyes of your users and tells you where they expect to find the information they’re looking for. Use this information to determine the menu and navigation structure of your site.Paper Prototyping helps you test if your site structure makes sense. Draw your website on paper. Do not concentrate on design issues, but only on the structure: How are website pages organized hierarchically and how are they linked to each other? Let your test users perform real tasks with the paper prototypes and watch their reactions. Ask them also for feedback and suggestions.
Interviews to find out more about user-experience. Ask your test persons about one aspect of your website. If you conduct written interviews, it is recommended to use closed questions with predefined answers (yes/no, I agree totally/ I agree partially/ I disagree). If you interview your test users personally, you can use open questions where users can reply freely. Interviews will give you important feedback and will help you look at your website through the eyes of your users.Thinking aloud will give you high quality feedback during testing. Let your test user perform a task and ask him to explain his decisions. What is he doing? Why did he choose this option and not another one? How is he feeling? What is his opinion? Thinking aloud will give you important information about the user’s mental and emotional interaction with your website and can give you many good ideas for improvement.The Five-Second-Test is a fast and easy way to test the functionality of your website. Here, you let your test user perform a certain task again (for example, if you sell products, ask the person to tell you how he would go about buying a certain product). Let the person look 5 seconds at your website without scrolling or clicking on links (you can also use a screenshot). After that, ask the person to tell you what he remembers from the website. This will show you what catches the user’s eye and tells you if your images, titles and banners are sending the right message to the users. On the next step, ask the test person to perform the task. If he has difficulties or takes too long, this means your site is confusing and needs restructuring.]]>13
