Different but the same.THE TRAGEDY OF SEPTEMBER 11 HAS put us all into a posture posture /pos·ture/ (pos´choor) the attitude of the body.pos´tural pos·ture n. 1. A position of the body or of body parts. 2. of guarded optimism. Collectively and individually we are not who we once were, despite the fact that many of yesterday's trappings still surround us. There is an air of stability that familiar trappings lend to us. Many (even those of us just blocks from Ground Zero) still get to go to the same job in pretty much the same way. But there is also a security--a sense of self-respect--in knowing that we can always right ourselves no matter what comes along to try and topple us. We are different now, but we are still very much the same. We are not as trusting, but we are as giving. We are not as vulnerable, but we are still risk-takers. Business will continue. Maybe not "as usual," but it will be conducted in much the way it was before. As I write this several trade shows and conventions are being rescheduled to allow enough time to pass for business travelers to regain a sense of confidence about modes of transportation or final destinations. Witness the annual NIC (1) (Network Interface Card) See network adapter. See also InterNIC. (2) (New Internet Computer) An earlier Linux-based computer from The New Internet Computer Company (NICC), Palo Alto, CA. conference in Washington, D.C. This conference has been moved from this past September to Dec. 12-14. (Please come see the session I will be moderating on the morning of the 14th.) It will still be in D.C. Different date, but the same locale (programming) locale - A geopolitical place or area, especially in the context of configuring an operating system or application program with its character sets, date and time formats, currency formats etc. Locales are significant for internationalisation and localisation. . Sensitive to these concerns, CLTC CLTC Certified in Long-Term Care CLTC Community Long Term Care CLTC Chapter Leadership Training Conference has chosen to suspend its reception for the winners of this year's Order of Excellence Award in Architecture & Design, originally to be held in Washington, D.C. in conjunction with the ALFA show.
