How to Host Japanese Foreign Exchange StudentsIn Feburary 2016 21,

In 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.

How to Create a HyperlinkIn Feburary 2016 19,

In Feburary 2016 19,
Open up the page to which you want to add the HTML link. Right-click on the file and select 'Open with.' Choose 'Notepad' or 'Wordpad.' This should open the HTML file in a text editor.
Find the place on the page where you want the hyperlink to appear. For example, if you want to position the link within a paragraph, locate the word in the paragraph that you want to turn into a hyperlink.
Decide where you want to direct the link. For example, let's say you want people to reach www.ehow.com when they click the link. Decide on the words you want to display for the link itself. For example, let's opt for 'How to do do just about everything.'
Add the following code at your chosen point: How'>http://www.ehow.com' rel='nofollow' rel='nofollow'>How to do do just about everything. . Replace the ehow link with your destination link and the text before the code with your preferred text. This is now a hyperlink.
Include only the page name and the forward slash for hyperlinks within your own site. For example, to link to a contact page for a site called www.yoursite.com, add in the appropriate part of your hyperlink. This will direct the user to http://www.yoursite.com/contact
Save your work and close the file. Upload the file to your host account using your chosen FTP (file transfer protocol) software. Try the hyperlink out live on your site to ensure it's working as intended.

How Does Internet Radio Make MoneyIn Feburary 2016 19,

In Feburary 2016 19,
While there are options available that allow an individual to create and maintain simple and free Internet radio stations there are still costs associated with maintaining and running a station, no matter how large or small.
Equipment, Internet access, hosting fees and potential royalty payments to record labels (stations playing any copyrighted music must pay royalties) can turn even a free online station into a monthly expense for the owner, so it is in her best interest to find sources of income to help pay the bills.
Ad-Based Internet Radio
Internet radio stations can sell airtime to advertisers and play their ads during programming. For novice and smaller operations, web-based ads may work better. Programs such as Google AdSense allow anyone with a website to sign up for free and place Google-programmed ads on their station's websites.
Donations
Many stations solicit donations from loyal listeners to help pay the bills. Companies such as PayPal allow users to set up a free account and add a 'PayPal donation' button to their website.
Listeners can then donate a set amount or the amount of their choice or sign up to donate automatically on a monthly basis, giving listeners the ability to support radio programming they enjoy.
Payola Practices
Payola—when a band or record label pays a radio station or DJ to play its music—is illegal, as it has been dating back to the 1950s, when such scandals rocked the commercial-radio business. But it is technically legal for a band or record label to pay a station to play a song as long as the station announces that arrangement on air before playing the song, notes that the song does not constitute regular airplay, and states that the song is sponsored airtime.
Some consider this practice, even with full disclosure, to be unethical, so a station owner should decide where she stands on this issue.
