How to Become a TV Show HostIn Feburary 2016 20,

As with most jobs, a degree is the ticket you need for employers to take you seriously. While there are no degrees in television hosting, some degrees will be more helpful than others. Top choices include degrees in communications and journalism, while other helpful ones can be drama, media or social sciences. Make sure you have some coursework in public speaking. Depending on the type of host you want to be, you may need specialized knowledge such as history, political science or natural science.
Hard and Soft Skills
TV show hosts need a combination of soft skills and technical skills. Soft skills include self-confidence, a clear voice, interpersonal skills, improvisation skills, the ability to work calmly under stress, the ability to think and speak quickly. You adapt to new information as soon as it presents itself. You are prepared for surprises and can continue to talk even while processing. Your curious mind is supported by verbal mastery of such skills as listening, leading conversations and being able to ask incisive questions. You also need to have teaching skills, as you will be teaching your audience while leading guests through their topic of expertise. Technical skills include a basic knowledge of television terminology and operating procedures, the ability to keep presenting while hearing instructions through an ear piece, working with a teleprompter and the ability to operate sound and video equipment.
Genuinely You
Part of what you need can't be learned in school or on the job: You have to be you and you have to have a great personality. 'To be a good host, you need to be very comfortable in your own skin,' said television host Suzanne Sena, quoted in a Backstage.com article. 'It's vital that you feel confident and comfortable, so that you can then make your audience or on-camera guests feel comfortable as well. They will feed off your energy -- or die by it.' She recommends having a natural curiosity and a genuine interest in talking to people. You need to express your personality through your language skills, such as pronunciation and enunciation, and through the way you move. Use your whole body to communicate.
No Substitute for Experience
Television hosting is a competitive field and you're not going to get in without some experience. Start by building a network of contacts through media and broadcast associations. Offer to host as a volunteer for non-profit organizations that are having television broadcasts for fundraisers or other events. Volunteer for community cable or educational shows to gain experience. Many local access stations will accept non-profit shows that you could host. Apply for internships at television stations, especially local ones. Make a newsreel of yourself that is two to three minutes long and shows your hosting skills and personality. Send this newsreel on CD, DVD or via email to broadcasters, producers and agents. Another option is to work your way up by getting another job at a television studio and letting your boss know what your career goals are.

How to Find Out Who Someone Is on a ForumIn Feburary 2016 15,

In Feburary 2016 15,
Most forums ask for a username, email address and password when somebody signs up. While passwords should always be secret, moderators should be able to access email addresses, even if the user has chosen to hide this in his public profile. In some cases the email address may contain the user's real name. In others you may be able to search online for the address to see if it is mentioned on any other site that might reveal the owner's identity.
IP Address
Moderators should be able to access the IP address of the computer a forum member used, either when registering, on her latest post, or both. You can check the geographic location that matches this address at sites such as IP Location (see Resources), though bear in mind that in some cases this will be the location of the person's Internet service provider. If you can get a geographic location, it may help narrow the search. Alternatively, if you suspect the person has previously posted on the site under a different username (and you know that user's real identity), you can compare the IP addresses on the accounts.
ISPs & Police
Internet service providers will have records that allow them to match an IP address with an individual customer, or at least the customer's household. If an IP check reveals a user's ISP, you can ask the ISP to provide his identity, though it's unlikely the ISP will comply. In most cases an ISP will only do so upon a request from law enforcement authorities and/or a court order. If your reason for wanting to know a user's identity relates to potential criminal activity such as online abuse or harassment, consider contacting the police and letting them work on identifying the individual.
Last Resorts
If you cannot get access to forum data, or it doesn't bring anything up, you can try a few Hail Mary plays. These all might throw up a possible match, but certainly won't be conclusive. If the person has a distinctive avatar, try using Google Image Search to see if she has used it elsewhere. Similarly, carry out a text search if she has a distinctive quotation or other text in their signature, which they may have used on another forum or social site where her identity is clearer. Finally, try right-clicking on any images the user has posted; she may have slipped up and linked to an image hosted on her own site or an identifiable account on another site.
