It is a great honor for us to invite you to participate in this year's edition of the International Conference "Directions and Modern Strategies for Training and Improvement inside the Human Resources Field" , which will take place in POLITEHNICA University of Bucharest, Bucharest - Romania, on the 21st of November 2009. In a world in which the competition between the man and the machine (who has the purpose of making the activities highly efficient) is getting more and more intense , we believe in the unquestionable and not replaceable value of the human resource, in all the work environments. This is why the essential objective of this Conference is to gather the experts who are concerned with this fact, regardless their coming from the educational field, the civil society sector or straightly from business. The multiple aspects and the different contexts from which we want to present the man as a valuable resource in the efficient activity process, will surely sketch a complex and complete image. Beside participating in the Scientific Sessions, this Conference also brings some other interesting activities, like: presentations, debates, discussions and, nevertheless, workshops.

"NEW PERSPECTIVES IN THE COMPUTERIZED THERAPY: THE GERSHWIN EFFECT IN BIAB - BAND-IN-A-BOX - SYSTEM"
Well I'm wondering about the word Therapy and if the translation is accurate.
Using Band in a Box as therapy might be a good thing for those people who need to learn patience and manual reading while expecting to compete in an F1 race after driving a go cart. That is an analogy, in the event you were confused. I know I am, confused that is, most days. What day is it?

I'm wondering about a lot more than that, starting with this poll. However -
Serban, could you please give a sentence or two about your particular presentation, and tell us how you feel BIAB relates to human resources?
Thank you.

Intriguing to say the least.... 'The Gershwin effect in BIAB'.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DcFgK67V0MUnusual and impressive use of the program in a wider compositional setting. I think you can recognize some of the BIAB soloist phrases in there or am I mistaken? I'd love to feed the whole thing as a midi file into the style wizard ...  As for the 'HOMAGE TO PARIS HILTON' by Serban which is also on you tube,..well i'd best leave you to find your own way to that...  Regards Alan

I didn't take the poll. I wondered how an academic would make a poll unless his point is that some robotic people will take a proffered poll in spite of the predictability of it's outcome. Or perhaps it the vestige of Tito and the method they used to vote, one name and one ballot.

NOUVELLES PERSPECTIVES DANS LE DOMAINE DE LA MELOTHERAPIE COMPUTERISEE: “L’EFFET GERSHWIN” EN SYSTEME BIAB (“BAND-IN-A-BOX”) - Résumé - L’auteur propose l’application de “l’effet GERSHWIN” dans la mélothérapie computérisée . L’analyse holistique des elements constitutifs de ce prodigieux modèle George GERSHWIN et l'utilisation des opérations génératives dans le systeme BIAB - spécifique au logiciel “Band-in-a-Box” (http://www.pgmusic.com ) - permettent la création d’une classe algorithmique et euphonique de composition a géométrie (formelle et organologique) variable, avec des valences thaumaturgiques et même avec des effets analgésiques surprenantes. La démonstration implique la présentation de quelques illustrations audio-visuelles - comme, par exemple, mon “Homage to George Gershwin” ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DcFgK67V0M ) -, mais aussi de quelques oeuvres réalisées par mes étudiants a Université Nationale de Musique de Bucarest ( http://www.geocities.com/experimental_music/techie.html ).

Maybe it's a title randomly generated by BIAB. Maybe it's like Jerry Lewis in France. Or maybe it's just a Romanian thing . . . I know I don't understand. Or should I say, "Je ne comprends pas."

Thank you - very funny ! "Mange de la poutine" (poutine = m...e ?) Malheureusement je ne parle pas (encore) le francais quebecois. I have the pleasure to recommend you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42cKg031Rnswith some excerpts from my music "out BIAB" - the American Symphony No 3. Faithfully yours, Serban

La poutine,it's a french canadian 'delicacy'. Take french fires, white cheddar cheese curds, mix them up and cover with chicken gravy and salt and pepper. The cheese melts, and you have cheese and potatoes. It is starting to become more common outside of Quebec. My wife is French Canadian, and I lived there for 4 years, the kids and I are fluent, the wife has lost hers. (Not Poutine). My french was learned in lumber camps in the early 70's, and on a few diamond drilling rigs where you went in in one of those MASH style helicopters.
Normally in Ontario Fries are taken with malt vinegar, salt and pepper. Sometimes with Ketchup, and in the north sometimes just fries and gravy.
And of course our version of your Boston Baked beans is cooked with maple syrup, causing some guy in the US named Colvin, who ever the heck he is, to accuse us syrup suckers of hogging the speed skating ice. We invited him to Vancouver for tea and crumpets and all the ice time the American team needed in order to learn to skate, he's financing the team or sum sich ting.
