As you may know, I've been developing a train of thought over the last
few issues of FreePint. It all started with an observation that a lot
of people in the FreePint community have been asking about the skills
required to become a fully-fledged information professional. This
misguided me into thinking that anyone wanting to develop their
information-seeking skills wants to be part of the information
industry. They don't.
Moving the thinking on, and making a rash generalisation, it appears
that there are two levels of Internet researcher: those who focus on
information and online research for a living; and those who don't.
There seems to be agreement that information professionals have two
levels of responsibility. Firstly, a responsibility to themselves to
make sure they don't simply use Google but keep themselves up to date
with the alternatives (including databases which are not indexed by
search engines). Secondly, in educating non-professional users of the
Web about the range of sources available and making them aware that
there are times when it's best to use a search intermediary who does
have this knowledge.
All I want to ask of non-professional information searchers is that
they are aware that there are professionals available to help and that
we're frustrated too at how difficult it can be to find information
online. For example, see the FreePint Bar thread on trying to construct
a detailed search query in Google <http://www.freepint.com/go/b23381>.
As much as everyone moaned about how difficult it was to learn the
'command line' interfaces to commercial online databases, at least
you could construct a very detailed and precise search query.
Terry Kendrick expands some of these thoughts in today's tips article,
with a timely look at the skills information professionals can bring
to risk management. Since resources relating to the UK Freedom of
Information Act are discussed in today's feature, don't forget
to check out the forthcoming 'FreePint Freedom of Information
Exchange' <http://www.freepint.com/exchange/>.

The FreePint Bar seems to get a good mix of those topics which arise
time and again and those which are being discussed for the first time,
even after 20,000 questions and answers.
For the former, don't even mention the numerous 'Help with my

though, there was an item recently about summarising newsgroup
discussions <http://www.freepint.com/go/b23353>. It's an interesting
question, especially since the prevalence of discussion groups and
blogs means we may yet need another level of such sites to summarise
the latest from the sites summarising the latest from other sites!

"Risk management: an additional axis for
information professionals?"
By Terry Kendrick
Information professionals are increasingly recognising that
information only has significant value when it is being used.
Collections and access to databases do have some intrinsic value but
will often, in themselves, be judged more as a cost than a value.
The trick for information professionals, of course, is to base their
activities clearly and unambiguously around moving their organisations
forward. Weasel words such as "added value" are to be avoided as,
often, these no longer have the desired effect of a decade ago unless
backed up with real outcomes. Much better is to clearly find the axes
of value creation in the organisation (doesn't matter if it is a "for
profit" or "not for profit" organisation - these axes will be there)
and lock your services on to these axes.
In recent times risk management has become a central concern of most
organisations, whether in the private or public sector. This is
certainly evident in my consulting activities where I see risk
management now as a fundamental part of board and senior management
team responsibilities.
However, although "front of mind" in many organisations, there appears
to be little formal relationship between risk management and in-house
information services. A number of parts of the information supply
chain have recognised this need and are now offering products directly
supporting risk management activities. See Lexis Nexis' 'Thindex' as
an example of this <http://www.lexisnexis.com/riskwise/thindex>. Are
library and information units offering risk management support? Or are
we being bypassed in the supply chain for risk management information
Clearly here is an opportunity to align the information service with a
core organisational concern. To simply believe that, implicitly,
the information service is there to support these concerns is to miss
a great opportunity to make the connection explicit. Organisations
have to manage risk; and the process of identifying, analysing,
evaluating, treating and monitoring risk is very information-intensive.
Why wait for the board or senior managers to recognise your role? Push it.
A number of factors in the organisational environment have combined to
catapult risk management onto the management team agenda. These
factors include:
* Political unrest / terrorism
* Industry rivalry requiring more risks to be taken to win good business
* Globalisation
* Corporate governance / recent scandals
* Stakeholders expectations (in both profit and non-profit organisations)
The UK government is also keen to improve its responses to risk and in
November 2002 the Cabinet Office published its extensive report on
"Risk: improving government's capability to handle risk and
uncertainty" <http://www.cabinet-office.gov.uk/innovation/2002/risk/risk/home.html>.
Every process and activity within an organisation has risk associated
with it. Some of the more immediate risks are:
* Strategic positioning, development, deployment, reputation and
* Corporate governance: accounting, disclosure, regulatory & compliance
* Market (financial): interest rates, credit risks, currency risk,
investments, liquidity
* Operations: process risk, supply chain risks
* Systems and information technology
* Human resources and management, labour strikes
* Market (marketing) - new product development, choice of segment
(geographic, behavioural), changes in consumer acceptance, product
choice, pricing choice, channel choices, promotional choices,
sales practices
* Environmental risks
* Intellectual property protection
* Others!
Most of the major management consultancies now have risk management
products on the market. Ernst & Young have developed proprietary
methodology and tools, such as Risk Universe(TM) framework for
classifying risks, a complexity-modelling tool to identify risk
interdependencies, and RISKWeb(TM) technology to manage, monitor and
report on risks (search from <http://www.ey.com>). Price Waterhouse
Coopers are another example of a consultancy with a thriving risk
management division (search for Global Risk Management Solutions from
<http://www.pwcglobal.com>). All of these consultancy models are
extremely information intensive and involve risks such as strategic,
operational, financial, compliance, reputational and environmental.
In September 2002 The Institute of Risk Management (IRM), The
Association of Insurance and Risk Managers (AIRMIC), and 'ALARM: The
National Forum for Risk Management in the Public Sector', published
the new 'Risk Management Standard'. It is clear that risk management
is becoming a potential catalyst for some organisations.
The information professional's contribution to the effective
deployment of risk management could be significant. Here are a few
initial ideas based around a potential risk management process:
* Identifying risks - traditional information search and retrieval
* Analysing risks - turning information into intelligence
* Evaluating risks - putting this intelligence in the context of the
organisation's ability to reach its objectives
* Treating risks - identifying ways to support the management of risks
* Monitoring risks - providing traditional current awareness and
selective dissemination of information services
The information professional may already be doing some of these
support services already. Good. However, we may need to redefine
some of our service offerings to reflect new terminologies and
concepts whilst essentially using many of our core skills. It is as
much about the way we do it as what we actually do.
It is evident that the information professional's natural skill base
will be stretched and challenged by the range of responses that can
make an input to risk management. However, with the right skill set,
information professionals are in a good position to help organisations
deal with risk in a meaningful way.
The killer skill set to develop is:
* Understanding of underlying risk management models to ensure
that you are speaking the right language
* Information search tools and techniques should be nothing
less than leading edge
* Analysis and interpretation skills may need to be developed further
as information professionals develop from 'gophers' (go for it and
bring it back) to 'consultants' (problem solving in context)
* Presentation skills - remembering information only has value in
context and use
If you have a Chief Risk Officer or something similar, make contact
today. They could be anywhere in the organisation from finance to
their own department. They may be functional or enterprise-wide.
They will be in profit and non-profit organisations. Chances are
though that somebody somewhere has a clear responsibility for keeping
the senior management team appraised on risks and their management.
And you can be sure that they need all the information help and
support they can get.

"Building an Electronic Resource Collection - A Practical Guide"
Written by Stuart D Lee
Reviewed by Veronica Bezear
This book advertises itself as a step-by-step guide for those new to
the field of e-collection development, and a useful source of best
practice for the more experienced professional. It fulfils both of
these criteria in a surprisingly small number of pages (125pp for the
body, 147pp including glossary and index).
In only five chapters the author covers: a brief history of electronic
publishing; key differences between electronic and traditional
collection building; an overview of what resources are on offer;
specific advice on e-books and e-journals; and detailed step by step
advice on assessing, acquiring and finally delivering the dataset
(one thing to get used to when reading this book is the author's use
of the word 'dataset' instead of 'electronic resource').
This is very much a book that can be read sequentially, although it
falls naturally into two parts - background to be aware of before you
start the process, then a detailed guide through the process,
including clear flowcharts to summarise key points.
It covers its subject thoroughly and when an aspect is not dealt with
the reader is normally referred to another publication where they
will find information on it if required. The style of the book is
no-nonsense and practical just as the title suggests. The layout
is clear and spacious.
Particular features which I found helpful were: flowcharts explaining
key stages of the processl; an overall summary of the steps to take in
the process, which strangely does not form a chapter in its own right;
a glossary of terms; and a rich bibliography including organisations
and mailing lists as well as articles and books, with most items on
the list including web addresses. Interestingly, however, bearing in
mind the subject matter, the book does not appear to have an
accompanying website of its own.
My favourite section was some common-sense advice on licence
agreements and what you should expect them to state clearly. Amongst
other aspects this included usage statistics that will be provided,
user support available and guarantees of long-term access to the
material. This is probably one of the first sections I would refer
to if buying a new electronic resource, along with its excellent
evaluation checklist, which the author acknowledges is composed of
work collated from other institutions.
There is, perhaps a slight bias in the book towards academic
institutions, but this is only really noticeable in the references and
examples given and does not limit the usefulness of the book. I have
no hesitation in recommending this book both as a quick read to get an
overview of the subject and also as something to keep as a handy
reference tool to refer to when required.

"UK Freedom of Information Act 2000:
The Road To Implementation"
By Stephen Wood
In March 2001 Richard Wakeford wrote an article in FreePint
<http://www.freepint.com/issues/150301.htm> outlining the key issues
surrounding Freedom of Information (FOI). This article aims to look at
the UK Freedom of Information Act two years on from this date as UK
public sector authorities plan and develop strategies to ensure full
compliance with the Act by the final deadlines in 2005.
The UK Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) 2000 gives citizens access to
information held by public authorities, enabling them to participate
"in the discussion of policy issues and so improve the quality of
government decision making" and "holding government and other bodies
to account". It applies to all public authorities in England, Wales
and Northern Ireland (Scotland is implementing its own legislation).
Details of all the bodies covered are listed in the full text
Secondary legislation has also been passed since 2000 covering issues
such as the timetable for implementation and fees regulations
(currently in draft form) <http://www.lcd.gov.uk/foi/secleg.htm>.
Since Wakeford's article, Government responsibility for the Freedom of
Information Act (and Data Protection) has switched from the Home
Office to the Lord Chancellor's Department
<http://www.lcd.gov.uk/foi/>. The Information Commissioner
<http://www.dataprotection.gov.uk> is responsible for the enforcement
of the Act and the promotion of good practice across the public
A detailed examination of the many features of the Act is not possible
within the scope of this article. For a detailed critique, the article
by Tom Cornford -- "The Freedom of Information Act 2000: genuine or
sham?" (Web Journal of Legal issues, June 2001)
<http://webjcli.ncl.ac.uk/2001/issue3/cornford3.html> is recommended.
There is now a statutory right of access to information for UK
citizens for the first time. The scope is wider than many other
comparable FOI schemes from central departments such as the Treasury
to schools, hospital and universities. Less welcome features of the
Act are the restrictive nature of many exemptions to disclosure,
policy information in particular and the right of Government ministers
to intervene to sign certificates to stop the release of information.
The key issue in the early stages of the operation of the Act after
2005 will be how the phrase "would, or would be likely to, prejudice
the specified interest" will be interpreted by the authorities
concerned and the Information Commissioner in the enforcement role.
How the public interest test will be applied to certain non-blanket
exemptions to force release will also be an important testing point.
The timetable for implementation was released in November 2001; it
proposed staged implementation of the Act as follows:
* November 2002: Central government publication schemes
* February 2003: Local government publication schemes
* June 2003: Police and CPS publication schemes
* October 2003: Health service publication schemes
* February 2004: Schools, universities and any remaining authorities
publication schemes
* January 2005: Full implementation - full legally enforceable right of
access to information - authorities will have to deal with requests
The timetable allows for a phased implementation and an opportunity
for training and new practices for records management to be put in
place. However there has been criticism for such a delay. The
Campaign for Freedom of Information <http://www.cfoi.org.uk> called
the delay "totally unjustifiable", citing the 12 month implementation
period in Canada and Ireland. The cynical amongst us may point out
that the 2005 implementation date may also prevent any damaging
releases before a likely general election in 2005.
Until the full right of access comes into force in 2005 the current
non-statutory Code of Practice on Access to Government Information
will operate for Central Government and related agencies
<http://www.lcd.gov.uk/foi/codpracgi.htm>. The Code currently has a
low profile and in 2001 there were 4668 requests under the Code
compared with 5969 in 2000
Publication Schemes
In terms of current activity visible to the public, publication
schemes will have the most impact until 2005, when full rights to
request information come into force. Publication schemes specify the
classes of information that the public authority publishes or intends
to publish, specify the manner in which information in each class will
be published and specify whether the material is intended to be
available to the public free of charge or on payment. All publication
schemes must be approved by the Information Commissioner. A
publication scheme can be in the form of a hard or electronic copy.
As stated in the timetable, two types of publication scheme are
currently available: central government and local government. One of
the most comprehensive is the scheme from the Ministry of Defence,
who have developed a dedicated website for FOI and their publication
scheme <http://www.foi.mod.uk>. The scheme uses a taxonomy and allows
searching, and offers a new perspective in drawing together the wide
range of information the MOD publishes.
The profile of the schemes appears to differ, with only some
Departments offering a clear link from their home pages. The quality
of the information architecture and usability would also appear to
vary greatly.
Publication schemes clarify the right of the public to access
information free of charge, for example the HM Treasury scheme states
they will supply a printed copy free of charge of any document on
their website to those without Internet access
Local authority schemes have been public since February 2003 and have
also made use of the web as the primary route for accessing schemes.
The Local Government Association
<http://www.lga.gov.uk/OurWork.asp?lsection=59&ccat=716> has been
playing an important role in developing Local Government schemes,
using several councils as pilot schemes. Again the prominence of
publication schemes from authority to authority tends to differ. Many
schemes are hard to find and are often not available under "Freedom of
Information" in A-Z indexes. West Sussex council
<http://www.westsussex.gov.uk/yourcouncil/ppri/foi/home.htm> has used
the tools made available by APLWAS (Accessible and Personalised
Local Authority Websites) <http://www.aplaws.org.uk>, the information
management tools they make available include a category list. Sussex
developed their own category list from this and included citizen focus
groups in their testing.
In Higher Education, the Joint Information Systems Council (JISC) are
coordinating work on a model publication scheme for HE that will have
to be approved by the Information Commissioner. This scheme is
currently in draft format
It is currently unclear what plans there are in providing a central
website that will act as a routemap for the 88,000 or so publication
schemes that will have to be implemented. A list of the "first wave"
of publication schemes is available on the Information Commissioner's
website <http://www.informationcommissioner.gov.uk/psfw.html> though
without the relevant links to the schemes.
Freedom of Information will place a new focus on Information retrieval
in the public sector. Research completed by the Home Office as
preparation to the Act estimated that there would be approximately
40,000 requests in the first year of operation. A research report on
public sector preparation by Anite <http://www.aniteps.com> (IT
applications supplier) in 2002 highlighted that many organisations
were slipping behind schedule and less than half the organisations
affected by the Act were making real progress. Also, half the
respondents saw the responsibility as a legal issue lying with their
legal department.
There are major implications for UK public authorities in terms of the
new emphasis that has to be placed on records management. To quote
the Public Records Office (PRO) "Any freedom of information
legislation is only as good as the quality of the records to which it
provides access". The LA Record in January 2002 talked of a "boom
time" for records managers in light of the Freedom of Information Act.
The target for all Government records being managed electronically by
2004 is a key part of the strategy in ensuring the success of the Act.
There is a Code of Practice on records management under section 46 of
the Freedom of Information Act
<http://www.pro.gov.uk/recordsmanagement/foicode.htm>. The PRO
provides a wide range of invaluable guidance and advice on records
management, generally
<http://www.pro.gov.uk/recordsmanagement/default.htm> and specially
focused on FOI
<http://www.pro.gov.uk/recordsmanagement/access/default.htm>, in
particular model action plans on records management for different
sectors. There is also advice available on selecting an electronic
records management (ERM) system that is compliant with the PRO,
including functional requirements and lists of approved suppliers.
One of the key issues for those requesting information under the Act
will be finding a routemap through the maze of government boundaries
and information types, and ascertaining the types of information held.
The inforoute project for central government, developed by HMSO
<http://www.inforoute.hmso.gov.uk/> offers a way to search for
information held by government departments but not routinely
published. The project has been developed around a core meta data
standard for the contributing departments and offers an important
insight to understanding the work of a department before submitting a
request. This should hopefully help the speed and clarity of the
request for both the requester and public authority.
There are clear training needs for public authorities to ensure staff
understand FOI and how it effects their work. Courses are now
available from companies such as TFPL <http://www.tfpl.com> and ASLIB
<http://www.aslib.co.uk>. A more legal approach is available from law
firms such as Masons <http://www.masons.com>.
Many organisations will be able to learn much from the experience of
complying with terms of the 1998 Data Protection Act with regards to
records management, cultural change and training. Early evidence is
pointing towards many organisations combining responsibility for Data
Protection and Freedom of Information.
Implications for Business
One of the key implications for business is from the angle of competitive
intelligence: the information your competitors may be able to gain
about your business activities from information you have shared with
UK public authorities and vice versa. The Constitution unit at UCL
has produced a useful guide entitled "A guide for business to the
Freedom of Information Act" <http://www.ucl.ac.uk/constitution-unit>.
There are clear implications for information transfer policies and
procedures between private and public sector. All organisations are
recommended to review this area before 2005.
Awareness amongst the business community at present does not appear to
be high and there is much to be learned from the experience of
business in Ireland in the way the Freedom of Information Act has been
used. In Ireland for example in 2000 an individual sought copies of
invoices paid to 18 telecommunications companies by the Irish
Government. Eircom plc argued the records were commercially sensitive.
Despite the possible competitive damage, the Irish Information
Commissioner ruled that the it was in the public interest to release.
Further examples can be found on the index of decisions available on
Irish Information Commissioner's website
David Clarke, the Minister who initiated the work on preparing Freedom
of Information Act back in 1997, points to the challenges ahead. In
conversation with the author in 1999, Clarke stated "I think we are one
of the most secretive of all modern industrial societies, that culture
has got to change". The UK Freedom of Information Act has the
potential to transform the relationship between society and
government in terms of transparency and openness, leading to more
dialogue, informed policy and decision making. The scope of the Act
is truly impressive from schools to central government departments,
however Richard Thomas, the new Information Commissioner, has a vital
role to play in interpreting the nature of "Public Interest". In terms
of preparation, records management lies at the heart of the success
of the Freedom of Information Act.
The implementation of the Act over the next few years is a vital
period in terms of clear routes to information being available when
requests start. The low profile of publication schemes currently does
not bode well for starting to raise the public profile of FOI.
Information about effectiveness at present is not available. The
ease of navigation of these schemes will be vital: in terms of
taxonomy development, information professionals have a vital role to
play. The profession as a whole also has to make great efforts to
promote the Act and the benefits, plus lobby for legal enhancements
and improvements when necessary.

Adaptive Insights' New Partner Accreditation Program Can Help You Compare Providers
Posted by Armanino Financial Advisory Team
Business planning cloud solution Adaptive Insights recently announced a new Partner Accreditation program that provides a way for businesses to differentiate among Adaptive Insights providers. If you're looking for an Adaptive Insights vendor and aren't sure of their qualifications or experience, it will help you understand how Adaptive Insights rates them.
The Partner Accreditation program recognizes providers and service partners based on two criteria:
- The set number of certified consultants they have
- The number of successful, customer-validated implementations they've done
There are three tiers:
|Accreditation Level
|Number of Certified Consultants
|Number of Successful, Customer-Validated Implementations
This gives you a way to easily determine if a provider has the experience and proficiency that your organization needs. Not all Adaptive Insights partners take part in the accreditation program, but providers that do have demonstrated their dedication to their partner status and their qualifications.
The tiered program ensures that partners have trained their staff on the latest Adaptive Insights software releases and that they've met certain minimum certification requirements for consultants.
Solution providers are required to maintain a level of authorization based on meeting set requirements for certified staff. They also must meet minimum revenue levels. (Armanino is accredited as one of only four Premiere partners, in the Partner Accreditation Program, as of December 2019.)
Note that some services can only be offered by providers who have reached certain accreditation levels. For example, only Premier and Preferred partners can conduct Planning to Workday integration projects.
What does this all mean for you?
You will know the accreditation level of any Adaptive Insights provider you evaluate and can make more informed decisions based on your business's needs.
To learn how Armanino can help you put Adaptive Insights or other business solutions to work for your organization, contact us.
Armanino's Financial Advisory blog is your source for thought leadership around cloud ERP and accounting solutions and integrations. Supported by the Cloud Accounting Institute and numerous experts in cloud, finance, reporting, integration, compliance, and technology, Armanino's Financial Advisory blog features must-read content on what's happening in the finance industry, case studies, white papers, and much more.

30 Tearjerker Photos Show The Relentless Power of Hurricane Harvey
There's no doubt these will make you cry.
Nature always finds its way to get back at humanity. And when it does, devastation follows. This phenomenon is exactly what Hurricane Harvey showed as it wrecked havoc in the southeastern part of Texas and Houston city.
Winds gust up to 95 km/h while floods continue to bring madness. All of these have caused at least billions worth of property. And what's worse? The hurricane reportedly brought death to nine people. Harvey is so monstrous that it's being called "the worst disaster in Texas history." Since its devastation, people have shared photos from the said areas and the images show us tragedy, hope and even generosity.
Today, we'll share with you the best ones that made heartwarming impressions to netizens. These pictures are also great reminders that, at the end of the day, we all need one another. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims of Hurricane Harvey.
#1. Furniture store providing food and shelter for the victims.
#2. His name is Otis and he's definitely hungry as evident by the bag of food he's carrying.
#3. Policeman passes out after countless hours of helping the victims.
#4. Fortunately, this dog was rescued.
#5. Man's best friend indeed!
#6. Just hold on little fella. Just hold on.

Holocaust Hero's Reunion With Some Of The 669 Survivors He Saved Will Leave You In Tears
Those Holocaust survivors and their families will forever be indebted to him.
Among the list of the courageous heroes of the Holocaust, Sir Nicholas Winton was one of the most celebrated. Dubbed as the "British Schindler," he organized the rescue of 669 children from Czechoslovakia during the eve of World War 2 in 1938.
It was an incredible feat for an Englishman during that dark period to save hundreds of mostly Jewish kids and transport them to Britain. Despite the odds, Winton was able to arrange for the children's safe passage to Britain and thus saved them from imminent death in the Nazi concentration camps.
Eventually, with the help of his mother, he was able to find new homes and families for the refugees.
Inspiring Millionaire CEO Pays It Forward by Hiring People Who Need a Second Chance
Chris Rickerson hit rock bottom many times before, and now, he is helping turn lives around.
Chris Rickerson couldn't catch a break. He grew up in poverty, had a chaotic childhood, and struggled with drugs, among other misfortunes. All he needed was a chance to turn his life around. Thankfully, there were kind-hearted people who paved the way for that to happen.
In 2013, after years and years of struggling, Rickerson founded Elite Staffing Solutions. The Wichita, Kansas-based staffing company helps people who have hit rock bottom. It provides construction, administrative, and professional temps. Today, Elite Staffing Solutions is valued at over $3 million.
The road to Rickerson's success, however, wasn't easy.
Lonely 90-Year-Old Lady Asks Neighbor to Be Her Friend in a Heartbreaking Note
We need to take better care of the elderly!
For some people, getting older means having fewer and fewer friends. This is especially true for those in their golden years. A lot of the elderly in our society experience isolation and loneliness, and these can greatly affect the quality of their remaining years. But there's something we can do about it.
Marleen Brooks of Missouri one day came home to see a heartbreaking note from her 90-year-old neighbor named Wanda. The old lady lived down the street from Brooks and was feeling extremely lonely.
In her note, Wanda asked Brooks if the two of them could be friends.

The substantial falls of rain in the Fassifern is good news for landowners trying to get rid of fire ants from their backyards, paddocks and agricultural land.
The National Red Imported Fire Ant Eradication Program Science Leader Dr Ross Wylie said the wet weather meant the community may see fire ant nests much more clearly, as the ants build their nests higher in the wet.
"This is because this 'super pest' thrives in these sorts of conditions, especially when combined with the high levels of humidity we've been experiencing," said Dr Wylie.
"We urge the community to check their land now for fire ants and report any sightings to the program.
"We particularly need to hear from landowners in the western part of the South East Queensland fire ant infestation in the Lockyer Valley and surrounding areas where we've spent over two years treating the 'super pest'."
Fire ant treatment schedules can also be affected by weather, and the program recommends that people don't self-manage immediately before or after wet weather events.
"One of the main reasons that fire ants are such a problem is that some of them have the ability to fly and can quickly establish new colonies some distance away from the mother colony.
"When the conditions are right, like they are now, hundreds of fire ant young queens take to the air to mate — flying between two and five kilometres.
"They can reach an altitude of up to 300 metres, although most have been detected between 60 to 150 metres."
While many of the queens become prey to insects like dragonflies and birds, a significant number survive to form new colonies.
"The flights can occur anytime, but are more likely to occur in the warmer months of summer during periods of high humidity following rainfall, after weeks of dry weather.
"Previously in Brisbane, synchronised flights have been observed in January and February after heavy rain."
Dr Wylie said the program used the research done into the flight range and behaviour of young fire ant queens to help plan the program's eradication strategy.
"Fire ants are also known to spread during flood-like conditions — a survival technique which evolved on the flood plains of major South American river systems," he said.
"They have the ability to survive flood waters by linking their bodies together to form rafts.
"The queen and the larvae are loaded on top of the raft with food and as the flood waters rise they float away.
"They can float for weeks until they come to dry land or a place where they can start a nest again.
"This rafting is another way by which fire ants can colonise new areas or higher ground and this behaviour has been observed in South East Queensland, including in Purga near Ipswich."
Dr Wylie said after wet weather events the program expects increased fire ant reports.
"Recent changes to the treatment have ensured the program can more quickly meet these increases," he said.
"Alternatively, people can opt to self-manage — engaging a pest manager or purchasing fire ant bait from a local retailer and treating their property themselves."

By: Dragon King
Until the introduction of firearms, the lethal power of archery revered in Japanese culture holds even to this day. Tales of great feats of samurai archers are celebrated in the 21st century. A fitting motif for a katana that requires similar disciplines for perfection of the art: patience, persistence, control and strength. The 28" forged carbon steel blade has a real hamon and curves beautifully from kissaki to kashira. The contrasting colors blend gorgeously from black sageo and buffalo horn kurikata and kojiri to the golden tsuka wrapped over white same (ray skin). The textured dark brown saya helps blend the piece together with the copper toned furniture and silver arrowhead menuki, seppa and habaki. The round tsuba's detailed arrow fletching spokes and embossing on the fuchi and kashira reveal the superior craftsmanship of the Dragon King artisans. An amazing piece of color and form that meets the demand of function, this katana will fit uniquely in to your collection.

"The music is wonderful, it is very entertaining, and it is very engaging from beginning to end. I think aside from the classical Chinese tradition, it also somehow has a little bit of the Western music influence in it."
"It is very good, and every single sound that each instrument makes is clearly depicted in the movement of the dance, so it's like storytelling from beginning to end; there is not a dull moment. Even the kids are focused and they are sitting down and watching. You know, at their young age, they are focused and they are interested. It is very colorful so it is just enigmatic from beginning to end."
"I would say in every culture, each culture has an aspect of their lives about an eternal being, about someone who you look up to, who you glorify and adore in faith. So I like that very much because it helps you to understand different practices and different beliefs of each culture. And I think showing that aspect, it shows the commonality among other ethnicities, even though we are of a different country, race, ethnicity, we all believe in a divine person, we just call it by a different name but in reality, I think it is one in the same."
"The theatrical effects, and the animated backdrop effect, that was very ingenious. I mean the timing is so perfect and I think that is what made it more interesting. If it was just a flat screen, the effect would be very different. Especially for a young audience, it is a very good way of showing them, and allowing them to understand what you are trying to portray."

More unbleached flour is being recalled due to more concerns over possible E. coli contamination, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
UNFI announced last week it is recalling 5-pound bags of its Wild Harvest organic, unbleached all-purpose flour with a best if used by date of Jan. 8, 2020, and UPC of 711535509158.
The recall was launched after FDA routine sampling found positive E. coli results. E. coli can affect people who eat the flour with raw products or who touch surfaces and utensils that have not been properly cleaned after contact with flour or dough.
UNFI said it has not received any direct consumer reports of confirmed illnesses, according to the FDA.
Hodgson Mill is also recalling specific lots of its unbleached all-purpose white wheat flour sold in 5-pound bags over E. coli concerns.
E. coli was also discovered through sampling of flour, and Hodgson Mill said it has not received reports of confirmed illnesses.
The only product affected by the recall has a best by date of Oct. 1, 2020, and Oct. 2, 2020, with a UPC of 071518050092.
Consumers are urged to return to the flour to the place of purchase for a full refund.
Fuji Food Products Inc. last week announced a recall of its ready-to-eat sushi, salads and spring rolls that were sold at select retailers, including Trader Joe's, due to possible contamination with listeria monocytogenes.
The company said the problem was discovered after a routine inspection by the FDA at one of its facilities. The company is investigating the source of the issue and has ceased production and distribution from that facility.
Products include Okami and Trader Joe's brand names of sushi rolls, sushi platters, poke bowls, spring roles and Banh Mi style salad. Sell-by dates range from Nov. 22 to Dec. 6 and were packaged in plastic trays.
For all of the affected products and UPC codes, check out the FDA's website at www.fda.gov.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission also announced a few recalls last week, including a portable generator that can catch fire.
Yamaha is recalling its 2018 and 2019 Yamaha EF2000iS portable generators because the generator's fuel tank can leak gasoline, posing fire and burn hazards.
No incidents or injuries have been reported. The affected product has serial numbers ranging from 4543288 to 4553706 and were sold at Yamaha Motorsports dealers from June 2018 to October 2019.
Consumers should stop using the generators and contact a Yamaha Power Products dealer to schedule a free repair.
Fire hazard is alos a concern over another product sold by Mark Feldstein & Associates. The company is recalling its stacked gourd Jack-o-lantern decorations because the string lighting inside can overheat, spark or ignite.
The company has received four reports of the decorations smoking or catching fire. No injuries or property damage have been reported.
The decorations were sold at Paper Store, Hallmark stores and independent gift stores from August to October, as well as online at Amazon from July to September.
Consumer should stop using the decorations and contact the company at 800-755-6504 to receive a full refund.
Stanley is recalling its 16-ounce wooden handle nailing hammer because the molded grip can come loose, posing an injury hazard.
Stanley Black & Decker has received one report of the hammer's grip coming loose, though no injuries have been reported. The hammers were sold exclusively at Walmart stores from July 2018 to August 2019.
Consumers should stop using the hammers and return them to Walmart to receive a refund in the form of a gift card for the purchase price.

I have been asked by many individuals why I work so hard and put in so many hours as the Director of the Senior Center. I believe that living on a farm during my childhood had a lot to do with the work ethic I have today. I learned to help those who can't help themselves, or have the ability to know they need help. I came across an article on "Why Giving Back is important" written by a Media professional, senior writer and blogger at Educor Holdings which provides insight on what drives some individuals to
work hard to help others.
- It creates a feeling of gratitude – Feelings of compassion, humanity and a sense of appreciation awakens when we give to people. There is nothing greater to center our focus in this world than beginning to understand just how much we have to be grateful for. This comes from being in direct contact with the act of giving to people who are less fortunate than ourselves.
- Provides people with the building blocks for their future development – If for example, you are giving back to society through a feeding or housing scheme, you will be providing the essential building blocks for a child's future development. Through a sequence of events, you help influence whether they are able to study or have the presence of mind to get an education.
- Enjoy the Health Benefits of Giving Back – On a physical level, you are bound to experience an increase in your levels of wellbeing when you give back to society. Givers on a whole, experience a boost in morale, increased feelings of happiness, greater purpose in life and naturally lower stress levels.
- Creates a nation of emotionally aware people – It is easy for us to fall into a sense of moral sleep when we are not faced with the realities of people who are less fortunate than us. Once we make the conscious effort to get out there & give to people we have greater emotional awareness and this helps us to become emotionally intelligent people.
- It helps you to share resources – If you know that you need to share your resources with somebody, it immediately makes you conscious about what it is that you have. Besides
the gratitude aspect, you suddenly are aware of the value of a bucket of water or a plate of warm home-cooked food. Once the value of those resources become abundant, so too does the realization that those resources do not come easily. You will be more dedicated to sharing those resources.
- It feels good to give – Deep down inside, we all want to feel that we contributed, added value and had some kind of meaning and purpose in our lives. Giving to others helps to feel that we've made that difference and helped to alleviate the crisis in somebody else's life. Whichever way you look at it, giving back to society has profound benefits for both the giver and the recipient. The potential for strengthening people and nations through giving back to society is huge and something that we all need to consider looking into. Here's hoping that you are inspired to give and contribute to society in whichever shape or form in your life.
- You will grow as a person – when you are engaged in philanthropic and humanitarian activities you somehow can't help but be touched as a human being. Your emotional awareness increases, your care, and consideration for others is awakened and you are exposed to new and different people. You will grow as a person.
- Alleviates poverty, struggling and suffering – On an absolutely practical level when you find ways to give back to society, this helps to provide some instant relief from poverty, struggling and suffering. Even if a long-term, sustainable solution is needed, people still need food in their mouths, clothes on their back and access to basic sanitation in the immediate moment. This can be achieved in a number of different ways. You can donate to a cause, become a volunteer or be involved in corporate giving.
"Giving is not just about making a donation. It is about making a difference." – Kathy Calvin

Ancient and Modern Olympics
Autor: mellow20 • October 20, 2013 • Essay • 854 Words (4 Pages) • 1,609 Views
Ancient and Modern Olympics'
Ancient and Modern Olympics like the world in general has evolved. The Olympics began in Greece and involved only their male citizens. Our modern day Olympics is for any country that wants to join and includes both females and males as competitors.
To begin with the Olympics began in Greece in 776 BCE. The Olympics was held only in the summers and every four years. The place where the Olympics took place was always held in the same location. We know that the athletes only trained for about 10 months and only Greek males were allowed to participate. Even their female family members were not allowed to watch because the male athletes competed in the nude. They felt so strongly about women not watching that a women have been put to death for watching. After their 10 months of training they would then go before a 10 member panel for examination. The competition for the athletes was very limited, pentathlon was one that involved five different events, javelin, discus, long jump, running, and weight lifting. Another event was called the pancration which was a combination of wrestling and boxing. This event was so brutal that at times death would be a result. There were chariot races and equestrian races as well. Then they had a running event; the Dolichos was what they called their long distant race. The stade race was a short sprint race and then the double stade race was just that; double the distance as the original stade race. These athletes were required to participate in ten events. They did have a festival all during these events and they had taken an oath in the beginning in order to pledge that they will compete fairly. Awards of a wreath of olives leaves was worn on their heads and a branch was cut from a wild olive tree with a gold handled knife was also given to them. The athlete then gave a speech of thanks to Zeus and the Gods would favor the town of the wining athlete.
Our modern day Olympics is still every 4 years, but we now have a summer and also a winter Olympics, that alternates every 2 years after the summer event. Unlike earlier times we change countries every time we have an Olympic game and it is now open to any country that chooses to join. Instead of being just Greek males we now also have females. Each athlete wears a uniform of their countries chose and carries their flag and colors, which has come a
