How to Host Japanese Foreign Exchange StudentsIn Feburary 2016 21,

Assume the student speaks imperfect English and adjust your expectations accordingly. While all Japanese exchange students will speak some English, it is highly unlikely they will speak English at anywhere near a native ability, and they will probably have trouble understanding native speakers in a social setting.
Speak clearly and avoid idioms. Japanese speakers are keyed to certain distinct sounds, and similar-sounding words, unclear words, or words spoken in a dialect can be difficult for them to discern. Of course, don't speak slowly in a loud voice as this would be condescending and rude. The student will want to learn idioms, but take it slow.
Write things down. Your exchange student may not be able to understand everything you say, but he will more than likely be able to read what you write.
Show, don't tell, when familiarizing the student with the house. To avoid unfortunate or embarrassing misunderstandings, show the student while you explain things. Japanese students have studied a lot of English for travel, school and business. Unfortunately, they study very little about common household tasks such as 'hang the laundry,' 'turn down the TV,' or even 'lock the door.'
Roles and Duties
Prepare a daily schedule and stick to it as much as possible. The student will probably be nervous in her new environment. Knowing the schedule and having regularity will help her adjust. Also, people in Japan tend to live by rather structured schedules; even if your home life isn't similarly structured, a written schedule can give it the appearance of being somewhat so.
Write a list of chores or duties for the student and explain it to him. In Japan, the roles of family members are well defined, so it would help your student feel comfortable if he knew exactly what was expected of him. Show him what you would like him to do around the house. Your exchange student will probably want to show his gratitude by helping around the house if possible; most commonly, he will offer to prepare a Japanese-style meal.
Provide emotional support to your student. According to the exchange program Youth for Understanding USA, it is essential to '[o]ffer an emotionally supportive environment as the student goes through his or her adjustment process.' Understand, though, that Japanese students are reluctant to complain and probably will not want to bother you with their troubles. It will be up to you, as the host parent, to 'read the air' and catch the nonverbal signs of stress or discomfort.
Comfortable Space
Prepare a separate room (if possible) with a bed, a study area, and slippers to wear in the house; people in Japan do not wear shoes in the house, so providing your student the option of wearing slippers around the house can make them feel more comfortable.
Make sure the bathtub is clean and serviceable. Japanese people are accustomed to taking a long, hot bath every night as a way of staying healthy, relaxing, and keeping the bedding clean, and the custom is to wash first and then get into the tub. There's really no way to accommodate this custom in a bathroom not especially built for washing outside the tub, but finding a way to allow the student this nightly luxury will go a long way towards helping the student feel comfortable.
Educate yourself about Japanese taboos and customs around the house. For example: don't step over people if they are lying on the floor; separate garbage (plastics and burnable garbage, at the least); be aware that students often stay awake studying until well after 10 p.m.
Arrange regular activities or conversation times with the student to ensure the student has a chance to interact socially with your household and others outside the household.

Differences Between SQL SQL ExpressIn Feburary 2016 08,

In Feburary 2016 08,
SQL Server can have up to eight processors and 2 terabytes (TB) of memory, while SQL Express has only one processor and a maximum of 1 gigabyte (GB) of RAM, where 1 TB equals 1,000 GB. Also, SQL Express can have only a maximum of 10 GB of database size, while the SQL Server can have a maximum of 524 petabytes (PB), where one PB equals 1,000 TB. SQL Server allows for more scalability in its database because it has a lot of room to store data.
Availability
SQL Server is more readily available than SQL Express. In an unlikely event that the database gets corrupted, SQL Server provides more options for backing up the entire database. Mirrored backups and database snapshots that can capture the daily state of the database are available for SQL Server. This allows for faster recovery and restoration of data. Memory and processor support is also available for SQL Server in case of a server failure.
Security
Both SQL Server and SQL Express provide high security. They employ data encryption policies and build firewalls around the server to prevent data from being hacked or stolen. One difference between the two when it comes to security is that SQL Server provides an added protection in the event that the physical hard drive containing the database itself is stolen. With Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) it doesn't simply encrypt the database, but also protects the keys that are used to decrypt the database. It uses a certificate to protect the keys and, without it, the physical hard drive is useless.
Integration and Operability
SQL Server provides more room for integrating with other software products. It can replicate data for Oracle databases and supports Web services. It allows for easy exporting and importing of data from different sources, which is not available in SQL Express. The SQL Server can perform complex queries and extract information from large databases. It also provides development tools to edit and design the database. It's more programmable and suited for database developers because it provides all the necessary tools to customize the database.
