How to Become a TV Show HostIn Feburary 2016 20,

In 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 Upgrade OpenCartIn Feburary 2016 10,

In Feburary 2016 10,
Remove any OpenCart software from the computer and website that you are going to be working with. It is often best to make this site, or at least the shopping-cart portion of it, inaccessible while you are working so customers will not lose their work.
Download the latest version of OpenCart from the official OpenCart website's download page. (See Resource one). Click 'Save to computer' and save the file to your desktop.
Open the FTP program supported by your website. Upload all of the files and folders found under the 'Upload' folder within the files you just downloaded to your website. Make sure that the files image/, image/cache/, cache/, download/, config.php and admin/config.php grant read and write permissions when you upload them.
Upload your MySQL database with a username and password already assigned to it.
Visit your website's home page using your internet browser and sign in using the MySQL username and password that you created. Follow the onscreen instructions to finish the installation of OpenCart.
Delete the installation directory from your web uploads after OpenCart has been completely installed.
Upgrading Without Uninstalling
Determine which version of OpenCart you are currently running. Right click the exe or other OpenCart files on your web server and select Properties to see which version you are running.
Go to the OpenCart official download page and upgrade your OpenCart software one step at a time. Download the version that came immediately after your current version.
Open the Upgrade notes for the version you just downloaded and replace the specified files in your current version with the files directed from the upgrade notes (See Resource 2). Continue doing this for each version that came after your current version until your OpenCart software is up to date.
