Summarize the following:
One old standby for any musician's name is to make a reference to a musical concept or piece of terminology. Some of the most famous artists of all time have used this well-worn trick (see: The Beatles, The Moody Blues, etc.). Ideally, if you do this, you might want to make reference to musical terms that are likely to be understood by a wide audience — for instance, while almost everyone knows what a "beat" is, not everyone will know what the term "syncopation" means. Below are just a few ideas for the types  of words you may want to incorporate into your name:  Musical terminology (beat, note, tempo, chord, song, symphony, etc.) Music genres (rock, disco, techno, etc.) Specific songs or bands (for example, Radiohead, Phoenix, and The Rolling Stones are all named after other bands' songs). Some musical artists, including DJs, choose to simply use their real name as their stage name. Others, however, modify their name in a way that makes it catchy or memorable. Some even choose to change their name in a way that makes it a pun or play on words — your ability to do this, obviously, depends on what your actual name is.  For example, M.I.A, the Sri Lankan rapper with international hits like "Paper Planes", uses a name that is a play on her own (Maya), as well as a reference to the abbreviation for the term "Missing in Action". Another well known example is Eminem — this name is a reference to the artist's initials (MM, for Marshall Mathers) as well as the phonetic pronunciation of his old stage name (M&M). If there are certain things, places, people, or ideas in your life that are extremely important to you, consider referencing them (or just outright including them) in your DJ name. There are a huge range of possible topics to draw from that range from silly to grim — whatever is important to you in life is fair game. Below are just a few ideas of the sorts of things you may want to consider using in your name:  Religious references (see: Matisyahu) Political references (see: Rage Against the Machine) Literary references (see: Modest Mouse, As I Lay Dying) References to specific people or places (see: Lynyrd Skynyrd) Sometimes, it's easiest to come up with a good name simply by studying other people's name. However, when you're trying to get inspiration from the names of great DJs, remember that your ultimate goal is to stand out from the pack — not blend into it. Just a few of the most influential DJs and beatmakers ever from the worlds of dance music and hip hop are listed below — there are many, many more:  DJ Shadow Tiesto Belleville 3 A-Trak Grandmaster Flash Diplo Jam Master Jay Deadmau5

summary: Use a musical reference. Modify your own name. Include ideas that are important to you. Be familiar with the world’s most famous DJs.

The  rules you set in your household are the foundation for how everyone in the family interacts and relates to one another. These rules provide structure about how your children should or shouldn’t behave.  Clearly communicate the standards you expect from your children and enforce them when necessary. Make the ground rules a part of the fabric of your home life. Post them in common places and frequently refer your children to them when rules are broken. Make sure that both the rules and the consequences for breaking each rule are clearly stated, and that everyone understands them. Set a good example for your kids by following the rules, as well as enforcing them. Promote family bonding by creating plentiful opportunities for your kids to have fun together. Make sure  siblings play together, do activities together, and support one another’s hobbies and interests.  Get your kids more interested in family activities by involving them in the planning. If your kids disagree about what kinds of activities they want to do together, encourage them to compromise. If your children are old enough to discuss their experiences in the family, start having regular meetings. During this time, the floor should be open for everyone to express their thoughts and opinions about what’s happening in the household. Use these meetings as a platform to isolate problems and work together to devise solutions. Establish some ground rules for these meetings, such as everyone should get a chance to talk (respectfully) and everyone else must listen without interrupting. Boundaries are a necessary element in all healthy relationships, sibling relationships included. In a family meeting, introduce the topic of personal boundaries and have each child develop a reasonable list of boundaries to share with the family.  For example, if a sibling wants to borrow something, a boundary might be to ask permission first. If permission isn’t granted or asked and the person borrows something anyway, the boundary has been violated. You can also talk to your kids about setting personal space boundaries. For example, you might make it a rule that everyone has to knock before entering someone else’s bedroom, and that requests for privacy must be respected. Emphasize the importance of others respecting these boundaries. Encourage children to enforce their boundaries with one another before involving a parent. Offer opportunities for your children to work as a team, such as washing the dishes together or picking up toys together. This helps cooperation become more natural for them. When you see them cooperating with one another, reinforce the positive behavior with praise.  For instance, you might say, “It’s so wonderful to see you two working on that puzzle together.” You might even treat them when you see them working as a team. As your children become older, they will start to develop more of an identity beyond the family. Support their identity development by allowing them to go through different phases without harsh criticism from the rest of the family.  For example, if your teen daughter decides to become a vegetarian, discourage your son from teasing her with meat at dinner. To help encourage this, you might repeat a phrase like "Remember, in this family, we encourage individuality."

summary: Communicate and enforce household rules. Plan family activities. Initiate family meetings. Encourage all the children to set personal boundaries. Promote and praise teamwork. Encourage them to accept individual differences.

You probably won’t see a lot of shooting stars in one night, so you have to be discerning in what you wish for. Think of things that you’ve always wanted: a million dollars, a house, a jumbo sized vanilla shake. It could be anything! Let your imagination run wild. If you’re having trouble deciding between wishes, write down a list of all of them and then choose a few through a process of elimination. Some believe that writing down your wishes on a post-it note helps it come true. Creative visualization helps you to better understand your wishes and goals. This is a manifestation technique that some think helps wishes to gain potency. If you believe in yourself and your dreams, they are more likely to come true. Instead of saying: “I wish I had a better job,” try phrasing it this way: “I am hardworking and intelligent and capable of getting a better job.” This language is positive, affirmative, and helps give your wish more weight. It’s impossible to control or change someone else. Imagine if someone else made a wish and asked for you to fall in love with them, or for you to be more beautiful or successful. These are elements that only you can control.  You can wish for things on other people’s behalf. For example, you can say, “I wish that Todd gets his second interview this next week.” It’s not useful to say something like: “I wish Todd had a nicer smile and also didn’t like watching football so much.”
summary: Think of all the things that you want to wish for. Write down your wish on paper. Write or say your wish as if it has already happened. Don’t wish to change another person.
