Official Reviews of "Taking Me Back" 

9/3/2013

2 Comments

 
So as you all know, my track "Taking Me Back" has been a great success all over the internet and I hope for the momentum to continue. Here are the official reviews of the track by some of the best critics and magazines. Names not disclosed. Please feel free to share your thoughts, if you agree with them or not and why. 

Thank you very much for the support. 
REVIEWS


“This song was superb. I really liked the beat and the noise from the piano that was produced. I think the vocalist could be little softer as far as singing goes. The lyrics matched the tone of the music very well I wish there was some more harmony, maybe a second vocalist would be a nice touch to this song.”

“The fermata and the falsetto of the introdcution have a good sytle. I like the tone of the rest in the melody and the compostion. The interval between two notes are good and I like the fifth form of the singer. His pitch is very dynamic and I like the range of his acoustics and the vocalist. The fourth of the fugue and the dynamics of the harmony make a good compostion. The energetic rhythm of the composition and the harmonics are interesting. i like the grave tune and the solo accordance. The impromptu decision of the harmony and the chord progression in the notes and the keys were alright. The hymn and the melody are glissando and the notes are alright.” 

“The intro is just so well performed that it has the biggest impact in the whole song. The tempo goes so well with the vibe of the song and it just makes you want to dance. The most well known artist is the very first to perform and have all of the character just to have a fresh, and original sound just to make the whole song very unique. The upbeat that they used in all of the verses and choruses are so wonderful and outstanding just to make the whole entire song just, more enjoyable and sound with a dynamic and with a lot of emotion relaxing. The challenging and creative side of the song is the instrumental, with the most wonderful background just to make the song very sunny. They have all of the right rhythm in there to not let the song get out of the right pitch. The artist has the greatest and most tuning natural voice that just makes him sing all of thosehighnotes.”

This Summer's biggest hit: Night in Stockholm

5/21/2013

1 Comment

 
The digital music disc jockey known as DJArrey has released his new dance single, titled, “Night in Stockholm,” to broad fan and critical acclaim. The song is a melodic, synth-driven single with digitally orchestrated back beats and a bevy of striking effects. Its main chord progression is fun, catchy and powerful in its fugue-like presentation, very well implemented and as excellent for dancing in underground music clubs on Friday night as it is for night drives through the city. A song in the tradition of house music, it is unique in its subtler use of percussion, a style not often utilized in the subgenre of electronica music.

These traits set “Night in Stockholm” apart from many other dance singles, which is partially what DJArrey has been known for in his music. Arrey has been recognized for instrumentation that may include such unlikely elements as guitars, flutes, saxophones, and other brass instruments in his pieces. This highly personalized style of music production likely has its roots in West Africa, which is where DJArrey first grew up.

Arrey was born and raised in Cameroon. His first musical stint was as a performer in an a-cappella boys' group at the age of 12. He sang in this capacity for four years. In addition to being rated the #2 dance artist on Reverbnation.com, he is also studying to be a medical doctor with his graduation date set for 2017. At University of Texas, Arlington, he also is the founder and president of “Get More Out of College,” a non-profit institution providing free resources to college students worldwide who are studying the biological sciences.


Upon being asked what inspires him to create upbeat, delightful tracks like “Night in Stockholm,” Arrey says simply, “Making music ignites my spirit and reminds me of the beauty of life.”


“Night in Stockholm” is available online worldwide.

My deep love for Music

I know many people have been wondering when I decided to enter the music industry. Others have sent me emails asking,  "why music?"  Some have even wondered if I'm planning on dropping out of medical school.

Well, here is my official response to all of this:  I have always been a lover of music, especially Dance music. I love being a Dj and making mixes, and now I have just decided to publish some of my mixes under the label Mondo Tunes. I do not know how to play any major instruments. I dabble on the keyboard at best, but the power of midi is what makes digital music so dynamic.    I love music, and I have a deep appreciation for the creativity of all artist in music across all genres. I have been inspired by artists such as Avicii, David Guetta, Hardwell, Tiesto, and Skrillex. It is my dream to continue doing this part time and someday collaborate with some of these guys. I hope that my music will resonate amongst everyone who loves Dance/House/Electro music.    My latest releases worldwide have been Dancing in the Stars, Dallas TX, and Sunset Love (feat. Eddy B).

I have other amazing projects and remix EP's still in the works to be released at the top of the year, so stay tuned.

Where can you find my music? Everywhere. I am on beatport, iTunes, Amazon, etc. Over 750+ stores carry my work.

I am very open to your comments and responses to any of my work, so do not hesitate to send me your comments.  If you are an artist or lover of music and would love to collaborate in the future, please do not hesitate to shoot me an email.

Thank you,

E. Arrey

Is Human Sexuality purely instinctive or learned? Do Social Norms and Values Influence Sexual Conduct?

2/12/2012

9 Comments

 
 This was the Social Scientific question of the month for my Marital and Sexual Lifestyles class.
Here is my submitted response, I thought this would make a great Blog addition to a pre-health site so feel free to comment on this everyone.


The 'striking' conclusion after numerous studies of human societies worldwide and
animal behavior is "every human society regulates the sexual behavior of its
members" (Linda Rouse, pg. 9). The term 'striking' was most appropriate since
human sexuality has always been generalized as the product of an individual's
experiences and also as their identity. In other cases human sexuality has been
concluded as being instinctive or as a biological intuition (an ability
predetermined by genes). However, we now learn that specific norms and values
govern sexual behavior and "it is in our interactions with others that we learn
sexual behavior and our feelings about sex" (Rouse, pg. 9).


Anthropologists such as Clellan Ford, Frank Beach, and Ian Robertson provide enlightening
insight about human sexuality worldwide. Robertson's extensive cross-cultural
analysis shows how the "interplay between biological potentials and cultural
norms produce extraordinarily diverse kinds of sexual conducts" (Rouse, pg.11).
  Robertson noted the variance in sexual conduct from several cultures around the
  world, each culture having a different sexual norm than the other. Showing
  clearly that human sexuality cannot be studied and understood with the least
  degree of ethnocentrism as "sexual behavior is learned through socialization
and [conformity] to the prevailing norms in a given society" (Rouse, pg. 9).
Ford and Beach published a report in 1951 showing not only how culture mediates
sexuality, but also how "sexuality is patterned by learning" with the human
brain playing a pivotal role (Rouse, pg.
10).


Psychologist Harry Harlow hypothesized that if behaviors such as mating or rearing offspring
were instinctive then an animal in isolation should exhibit all of these habits
  without having to have learned or observed them. Harlow experimented on rhesus
  monkeys and his results showed otherwise. The male monkeys reared in isolation
  lack effective copulation abilities and females raised in isolation (and later
  had offspring) did not show 'normal' mothering behaviors. Linda Rouse states
  that Harlow's experimental results give good grounds for skepticism about the
  notion of human sexuality being completely biological. And I concur. From an
  evolutionary perspective it can be inferred that the same would apply to humans
  reared in isolation since all primates (humans, monkeys, apes, etc.) share a
  distant common evolutionary ancestor. Research conducted by behavioral
  ecologist also confirms a great deal of synapomorphies (shared derived traits)
  between all primates.  Hence, Harlow's results provide strong supporting
  implications on human sexuality as a learned and society influence trait than a
  purely instinctive ability.






Any thoughts?

First-Time Med School Applicants Hits Record

10/26/2011

0 Comments

 
The number of applicants applying for the first time to U.S. medical schools reached an all-time high this year, according to data released Monday by the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC). The number of first-timers grew by 2.6% from 2010 to 2011 to reach a total of 32,654 applicants.

The number of total med school applicants (including those who have applied in previous years) increased by 2.8% to 43,919 people applying for just over 19,000 open slots.

In addition to total applications, total enrollment in medical schools also increased -- by 3% since last year -- and there were 19,230 students who entered medical school in 2011, according to the AAMC.

"We are very pleased that medicine continues to be an attractive career choice at a time when our health care system faces many challenges, including a growing need for doctors coupled with a serious physician shortage in the near future," Darrel Kirch, MD, AAMC president and CEO, said in a press release.

This year also was a record-setter for minority applicants, Kirch told reporters in a Monday morning press call.

The increase in minority applicants was most pronounced among Hispanic/Latino applicants, as was the case last year. Medical school applications from Hispanics/Latinos increased by 5.8% since last year, and enrollment increased by roughly the same percentage.

The number of African-American applicants also increased this year -- by 4.8% -- following a decline in black applicants last year.

Asian-American applicants increased by 3.8%.

There was, however, a drop in applications received from American Indians, a group that already is way underrepresented in medical schools. In 2010, there were 200 American Indian medical school applicants and in 2011, there were nine fewer. There were just 157 American Indians who enrolled in medical school in 2011, down from 191 last year.

The majority (62%) of medical school applicants are white and the majority (66%) of people who enrolled in medical school in 2011 were white.

The percentage of male applicants remained slightly higher in 2011 compared with female applicants -- 51% compared to 49%. There was a slightly larger discrepancy among male versus female medical school enrollees -- 53% of medical school enrollees in 2011 were men, and 47% were women.

Applicants continue to have good credentials, according to the AAMC. The average applicant has a GPA of 3.5 and an MCAT score of 29.

There has been a more than 16% increase in enrollment in medical schools since 2002. In 2006, the AAMC called for a 30% increase from 2002 level in enrollment in medical school in order to alleviate future doctor shortages, which the group expects to reach 90,000 by 2020. The AAMC said current projections indicate that medical schools are on target to reach the 30% benchmark by 2017.

While the steady increase in medical school applications and enrollment is encouraging, there are won't be enough residency slots for medical school students to do their training at teaching hospitals unless the number of slots is increased, Kirsch told reporters in a Monday morning call.

"We need to continue and grow the support Medicare provides for residency training," Kirch said. "If there's an absence in residency programs, they won't go out and become totally trained doctors."

The AAMC has called on Congress to overturn a 1997 law that put a freeze on Medicare-funded residency positions.

NEW FORUM FOR SI (Supplemental Instruction)

9/19/2011

1 Comment

 
So since I do not give out answers to quizzes and exams taken in SI sessions, I get emails and lots of questions about certain
topics covered in SI.  Well I am now pleased to announce that our Biology 1441 class now has its own SI Forum.
click HERE for SI FORUM

On this forum, students will have to join the Get More Out of College Forum
Created by Eliel Arrey and will be able to ask questions about specific parts of any test or quiz to their peers.
Other students who know the answer or have similar questions can then share responses freely.
 :)
Hope this new addition makes getting answers to questions easier and increases opportunities
for learning. 

Thank you,

E. Arrey

On behalf of the Eliel Arrey Team, I would like to welcome all the returning students and tutors to another great academic year.  This year we plan on adding more classes and more material to support your science needs more than we ever have.  Over the summer we were able to expand our service parameters to more classes and adopt new technology to better our delivery.  More professors have recognized our efforts and are recommending us to more students.  We are very pleased to be able to do such non-profit work.  Our joy is great and our satisfaction is full, but there is still much more work to be done on our part.
Currently we are expanding our servers to support the volume, hence at this time new students are unable to subscribe to receive our free elite member services (more practice tests, mp3s, videos, etc).  However, it is projected that by September 20th, our servers will be all up and running for new member sign ups.  We are expecting over 1000 new members between September 20 and November 2nd.  Please be patient with us and we do apologize for this delay. 

Thank you for using our services.

Yours,

E.  Arrey

President
