Ants are eusocial insects that exist worldwide, with over 12,000 species. They live in complex colonies that can be over 6,000 km large. Ants have a complex life cycle including eggs, larvae, pupae, and various castes of adults. Queens are responsible for reproduction, while workers maintain the nest and care for the young. Ants have a variety of adaptations for survival including the ability to survive without lungs or ears, release pheromones, and carry weights many times their own body size. Their colonies can be managed through sanitation, exclusion, vacuuming, and bait-based pesticides.
Rodents are an order of mammals that includes over 1,600 species including hamsters, gerbils, mice, rats, and squirrels. They are characterized by having split upper lips, two large upper incisors that grow continuously, and are nocturnal. Hamsters, gerbils, and rats are commonly kept as pets. Hamsters originated in the Middle East and are solitary, gerbils come from Africa and Asia and have longer hind legs for jumping, and rats spread worldwide but often carry diseases.

Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...Suzanne Lagerweij
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!

Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real lifeartemacademy2
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.

3. Florida Carpenter Ants
• Carpenter ants are sometimes called
bulldog rodents or bull snakes. Two
carpenter ant species that are typical
around constructions in the South would be
the Florida carpenter ant and the Tortugas
carpenter ant.
4. How To Identify Them
• The Florida carpenter ant has two antennae which has
12 segments without a club. The Carpenter ant does not
have a stinger, however the Florida carpenter ants bite
or spray formic acid on predators to protect themselves.
The ants thorax has an even convex; a vital
characteristic of the carpenter ant.
• Three Types of Carpenter Ants
• The Tortugas carpenter ant worker is from ¼ of an inch
to 7/16 of an inch in length. Black carpenter ant
employees are ¼ to ½ inch in length. Carpenter ants
grow through a complete metamorphosis, going through
stages of egg, larva, pupa, and adult worker or
reproductive ants with wings.
5. How Do They Reproduce
• Carpenter ants can create brand new
colonies when winged males and females
emerge from a nest and depart for a mating
flight. During the flight period, carpenter
ants are found in alarming amounts.
6. Where Are They Located
• Carpenter ant nests are usually started
under bark or wooden debris on the ground.
Estimating the size of carpenter ant colonies
is very difficult since they might include
more than 1 nest. Carpenter ants are among
the most common indoor pest pests.
7. Other Nesting Sites
• Other possible nesting sites for carpenter
ants are crawlspaces and attics and that
have high humidity which is attractive to
the Carpenter ants. Carpenter ants may
track from an interior nest into an exterior
food resource.
8. Indoor Nests
• In order to locate nests search in areas
where high ant populations are indicating a
closer proximity to the nests. Where
carpenter ant workers are located inside the
home only in hot months, they are scout
ants from an external nest.
9. What Do They Feed On
• Florida carpenter ants tend to forage at
night. The ants form quite loosely defined
trails, or person ants wander alone.
Carpenter ants will also seek out other
insects, both living and dead, for meals.
Carpenter ants have been reported to pray
on grasshoppers, crickets, leafhoppers,
caterpillars and honey bees.
10. How To Control Them
• There are a number of treatment choices for
the chemical control of carpenter ants.
Carpenter ants are among the top five pest
ants in the US. Cultural management
practices involve utilizing nonchemical
substances to remove or eliminate carpenter
ants from infesting a structure. Florida
carpenter ants treatment involves using
granular baits and injecting nesting sites.
