Position of adjective

0Hi everyone!02br
02br
00What's the difference between the following two sentences?02br
02br
001. Please read carefully the information available on the CAMES website about the Summer Arabic Program.02br
002. Please read carefully the available information on...02br
02br
00In the first sentence "Available", which is an adjective follows the noun "Information" that it modifies "Am I right?", while, In the second, it comes before the noun.02br
00What I've learnt that adjective usually precedes noun. Does the first usage convey extra meaning?02br
00Thanks!0-

0The relevant combination is 01i00available on02i00, not 01i00information on02i00, so placing 01i00available02i00 closer to 01i00on02i00 makes sense. The second of the two is a little awkward because of this.02br
