Download or read book How To Become A DJ How To Be Highly Successful As A DJ And How To Earn Revenue As A DJ written by Dr. Harrison Sachs and published by The Epic Books Of Dr. Harrison Sachs. This book was released on 2022-03-04 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This essay sheds light on how to become a DJ, explicates how to be highly successful as a DJ, and elucidates how to earn revenue as a DJ. While becoming a DJ may seem be an eminently cumbersome, expensive, time-consuming, and daunting undertaking, it is viably possible to become a DJ. Much to the relief of prospective DJs, it is possible to become a DJ in a time span of less than half of a decade and the journey to become a DJ is not as lengthy as the journey to pursue certain other occupations, such as the occupations of a medical doctor or attorney. The pathway that a prospective DJ can follow to become a DJ is fraught with challenges that are not a cinch to surmount. It can be arduous to fulfill the duties of a DJ. Disc jockey skills are highly desirable skills to possess. As of March of 2022, only an infinitesimal fraction of one percent of the global population work as DJs in the U.S. For instance, it is estimated that less than 14,800 work as DJs even though the U.S. population is comprised of over 332,000,000 people as of March of 2022. As of March of 2022, less than .00445% of people in the U.S. are employed as DJs. This means that out of 22,433 random people in the U.S., about only one person at most would work as a DJ as of March of 2022. As of March of 2022, it was estimated that there were more medical doctors and attorneys as an aggregate in the U.S. than DJs in the U.S. even though it takes far more years to fulfill the ample mandatory requirements to become a medical doctor or attorney than it takes to fulfill the mandatory requirements to become a DJ. As of March of 2022, there are no mandatory requirements that need to be fulfilled for a person to become a DJ. As of March of 2022, the economy is unequivocally in dire need of more DJs, especially since they are able to render social events all the more exhilarating to attend for people who are eminently fond of music. People rely on DJs to educe a thrilling atmosphere at the venues of social events. DJs cherry-pick stimulating songs for people to dance to at the venues of social events in order to render the social events all the more exciting for people to attend who revel in listening to music. DJs are not only capable of cherry-picking stimulating songs for people to dance to at the venues of social events, but are also capable of producing their own music. When song selections are egregiously abysmal at social events, then this can render them unexciting for people to attend and can detract from their fun factor if people do not feel compelled to dance to the recorded music at the venues of social events. DJs should ensure that their playlist selection is not banal, unstimulating, and insipid, but is rather exhilarating, thrilling, and stimulating. DJs should ensure that their playlist selection is compelling enough so that attendees of social events feel innately inclined to dance to the recorded music at the venues of social events. DJs should be receptive of the ambiance of the social events that they are playing recorded music at. A DJ should expeditiously revamp his playlist selection in the event that his current playlist selection receives unfavorable reception at a social event where he is playing recorded music at. People prefer for social events to serve as a metaphorical catalyst for allowing them to bask in having fun. Freelance DJs are not limited to furnishing their service offerings to an infinitesimal clientele. DJs can be “self-employed and work on a contractual basis”. Freelance DJs are able to customize their own schedule and furnish their service offerings to clients from around the world. There are a myriad of disparate types of DJs. Some of the ample disparate types of DJs encompass “radio DJs, mobile DJs, wedding DJs, and turntablists”. The competencies can vary from DJ to DJ. It would ultimately behoove a prospective DJ to explore the various DJ career paths so that he can ascertain what specific type of DJ career is the utmost befitting DJ career for him to be pursuant of for years on end. A wedding DJ’s role at wedding events can extend far beyond the ambit of him simply playing recorded music at wedding events. The tasks of wedding DJs can, for instance, involve playing recorded music at wedding events, providing sound equipment at wedding events, providing lighting equipment at wedding events, and accommodating the music preferences of the newly married couple of a wedding event.

Download or read book Rethinking Biblical Literacy written by Katie B. Edwards and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-02-26 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do people know about the Bible, and how much do they know? The media often discusses the worrying 'decline' in biblical literacy, but what does this really mean, and how can we measure this assumed 'decline'? How can we go about teaching 'biblical literacy', and about teaching teachers how to teach it? Rethinking Biblical Literacy explores the question of biblical literacy, examining the Bible's use, influence and impact in advertising, street art, poetry, popular erotic literature, Irish and UK secondary education, stand-up comedy and The Simpsons TV series to display the different types of literacy and knowledge of the Bible. Katie B. Edwards brings together several specialists in the cultural use, impact and influence of the Bible to examine the contested nature of biblical literacy and to explore the variety of ways of 'knowing' about the Bible. The picture created is one of a broad range and at times surprising depth of knowledge about what remains arguably the most influential collection of texts ever to be published.

Download or read book Feenin written by Alexander Ghedi Weheliye and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2023-09-29 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Feenin, Alexander Ghedi Weheliye traces R&B music’s continuing centrality in Black life since the late 1970s. Focusing on various musical production and reproduction technologies such as auto-tune and the materiality of the BlackFem singing voice, Weheliye counteracts the widespread popular and scholarly narratives of the genre’s decline and death. He shows how R&B remains a thriving venue for the expression of Black thought and life and a primary archive of the contemporary moment. Among other topics, Weheliye discusses the postdisco evolution of house music in Chicago and techno in Detroit, Prince and David Bowie in relation to appropriations of Blackness and Euro-whiteness in the 1980s, how the BlackFem voice functions as a repository of Black knowledge, the methods contemporary R&B musicians use to bring attention to Black Lives Matter, and the ways vocal distortion technologies such as the vocoder demonstrate Black music’s relevance to discussions of humanism and posthumanism. Ultimately, Feenin represents Weheliye’s capacious thinking about R&B as the site through which to consider questions of Blackness, technology, history, humanity, community, diaspora, and nationhood.

Download or read book The Smallville Chronicles written by Lincoln Geraghty and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2011-11-16 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2001, yet another adaptation of the Superman comic book came to television. Lasting 10 seasons, Smallville took the traditional Superman story and turned it into an American teen action drama about Clark Kent's life at high school—before he donned the famous blue tights and red cape. Instead of depicting Superman's clashes with criminals in Metropolis, the show focused on how Clark first developed his powers and learned to cope with girls, school, and teenage angst. Although largely overlooked bycritics and derided by Superman fans who regarded it as too far a departure from the comic book canon, Smallville nonetheless endeared a whole new generation of viewers. The setting, style, narrative, and cast of fresh-faced actors suggested that the Superman story was not only ready for a makeover but also still relevant for a post-9/11 American audience. In The Smallville Chronicles: Critical Essays on the Television Series, scholars examine the multiple narratives of the Smallville universe. Addressing issues related to gender, sexuality, national identity, myth, history, and politics, these essays explore how the series uses the Superman story to comment on contemporary social issues. Additional essays investigate the complexrelationship the show's audience has with the characters through blogging, fan fiction, visits to filming locations, and the creation of websites. As the first book-length study specifically focused on the Smallville television series, this collection is an excellent text for studies in science fiction, fandom, and teen television scholarship, and it will also have general appeal to fans of the show.

Download or read book All and Nothing written by Martin Burckhardt and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2017-10-13 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why 1 = presence and 0 = absence and the digital world formula is x = xn: an exploration of meaning in a universe of infinite replication. In the beginning was the Zero, and the Zero was with God, and God was the One. —All and Nothing In 1854, the British mathematician George Boole presented the idea of a universe the elements of which could be understood in terms of the logic of absence and presence: 0 and 1, all and nothing—the foundation of binary code. The Boolean digits 0 and 1 do not designate a quantity. In the Boolean world, x times x always equals x; all and nothing meet in the formula x = xn. As everything becomes digitized, God the clockmaker is replaced by God the programmer. This book–described by its authors as “a theology for the digital world”—explores meaning in a digital age of infinite replication, in a world that has dissolved into information and achieved immortality by turning into a pure sign. All and Nothing compares information that spreads without restraint to a hydra—the mythological monster that grew two heads for every one that was cut off. Information is thousand-headed and thousand-eyed because Hydra's tracks cannot be deleted. It shows that when we sit in front of a screen, we are actually on the other side, looking at the world as an uncanny reminder of the nondigitized. It compares our personal data to our shadows and our souls, envisioning the subconscious laid out on a digital bier like a corpse. The digital world, the authors explain, summons forth fantasies of a chiliastic or apocalyptic nature. The goal of removing the representative from mathematics has now been achieved on a greater scale than Boole could have imagined.
