Re: What pump do you suggest?!

At my hospital the lactation room is across the entire hospital . I would spend my whole break literally just walking to it. Otherwise that would have been the route I went. I will have to pump in our coat/locker room. Maybe I'll do the lactation room during lunch!? Or idk. I looked into renting a symphony but it was 90 a month---whew! I would be better off purchasing the thing! The lactina was 45 a month.... Does anybody have any experience with the lactina?! I've only used the symphony when I was In the hospital. My insurance also does give any breaks for renting or buying a breast pump. so I am looking around... Taking your guys advice and reading reviews! Just had mifuels two week check up and happy to hear he is growing and gaining well... So finally happy that he's doing well and getting enough breast milk!!! Thank you all for your help with that as well... Very grateful!

Re: What pump do you suggest?!

I used a Freestyle when I pumped at my full-time job for the first year. I liked it. I also thought Medela's customer service was beyond excellent. There's a site with cheaper price. I think I paid $225 for my Freestyle with shipping. It was crazy cheap. I think I got it at the baby side of Burlington. Crazy. Anyway, I liked the Freestyle. I think it's a good pump. If I wasn't going to get a freestyle, I'd still get a Medela. The parts are readily available at most Targets and whatnot.

Re: What pump do you suggest?!

Medela's CS is only good if you are the original purchaser

However, I have heard via my grapevine locally that if you call up CS, you could get a pump at 30% off. Double check that price against some of the pump sites online (that is how I got mine). Also, talk to the LC's at work; the IBCLC I work with now gives moms who rent through her an excellent price on a new pump, so they might be able to do something like at for you.

While a used pump might be OK, if you don't know its history, it's just not worth relying on. What if it's near the end of its lifespan? Or the mom who had it before pumped FT for 3 kids? Also, the Medela pumps are NOT closed systems, and they can suck milk inside, leading to mold growth, which contaminates your milk.

Ummm... Looking into this! How exactly did you get this? I'll take that price any day!!!

I looked into hygeia's Susan... Again, good and bad reviews and from what I've read bad CS. Doesn't help that I'm so indecisive and now I don't know what to do!

It was some weird sale. But there's supposed to be another site that's cheap online, too. But for the life of me - I can't remember the name.

Still, even if you paid $350 for a pump - you would spend that much or more on formula for 3 months. That's how I looked at it. I feel like my pump paid for itself.

I, personally, would not buy a used pump. I also would not let anybody use my pump unless I knew for SURE I was done using it and never wanted it back. It's a comfort level thing, and I'm not comfortable with it.

Re: What pump do you suggest?!

Just an update. I received my Hygeia on Tuesday morn. It took a little getting used to because it sounds diff. It's quieter than medela Pisa. Has less parts to clean. Is compatible with all medela pump parts tho so if I need to, I can use them. Perhaps I'm used to the strong pull of medela but this does not seem to have that. I have the speed turned up all the way and the suction almost all the way in order for me to feel like it's working. Maybe i also feel this way because it is quieter. But it does do a good job. I like the membranes better than medela--the duckbill. I can't really comment on amount of milk yet because I pump after he is done nursing if it is a short session. So the amounts vary.

Can't stop smiling because my lil Miguel is just so amazing! Since 1/29/12 my heart is no longer my own!

Re: What pump do you suggest?!

I have a Medela Pump in Style Advanced double-breasted electric pump. I've had it for 2 years now, and it's still going fine. It operates off electricity OR 8 AA batteries if you need to travel and won't be near an outlet. I absolutely love this pump. It was around $250 when I bought it. Depending on how much you will be pumping, you may or may not want to spend that much. I am a working mom, and I travel frequently so this pump is fantastic for my situation.

Title: Introduction to Breast Pumps

**Overview**

A breast pump is a device that helps women express milk from their breasts. This is particularly useful for women who are unable to breastfeed their baby directly. In this lesson, we will learn about the different types of breast pumps, their benefits, and how they work.

**Section 1: Types of Breast Pumps**

There are three main types of breast pumps: manual, electric, and hospital-grade.

1. Manual Breast Pumps: These are the most basic type of breast pump. They require the mother to manually squeeze the pump to express milk. They are usually the least expensive option, but they can be time-consuming and tiring to use.

2. Electric Breast Pumps: These breast pumps are powered by a battery or an electrical outlet. They are more efficient than manual pumps and can be set to a specific speed and mode. They are often more expensive than manual pumps but are more convenient to use.

3. Hospital-Grade Breast Pumps: These breast pumps are designed for use in hospitals and are the most powerful type of breast pump. They are often used for mothers who are unable to breastfeed their baby directly. They are the most expensive option, but they are also the most effective.

**Section 2: Benefits of Using a Breast Pump**

Using a breast pump has several benefits for both the mother and the baby.

1. It helps maintain milk supply: When a mother is not able to breastfeed her baby directly, expressing milk with a breast pump can help maintain her milk supply.

2. It allows for bonding: Expressing milk and storing it in a bottle can help mothers feel closer to their baby, even if they are not able to breastfeed them directly.

3. It simplifies life: Using a breast pump can make life easier for mothers who are unable to breastfeed their baby directly. It can help them feel more confident and comfortable with their decision.

**Section 3: How Breast Pumps Work**

Breast pumps work by creating suction on the nipple, which stimulates the milk-producing cells in the breast. This causes milk to flow from the breast and into the pump.

**Glossary**

- Breast pump: A device that helps women express milk from their breasts.
- Manual breast pump: A type of breast pump that requires the mother to manually squeeze the pump.
- Electric breast pump: A type of breast pump that is powered by a battery or an electrical outlet.
- Hospital-grade breast pump: A type of breast pump that is designed for use in hospitals.
- Milk supply: The amount of milk that a mother produces.

**Conclusion**

In conclusion, breast pumps are essential tools for mothers who are unable to breastfeed their baby directly. They help maintain milk supply, allow for bonding, and simplify life. There are three main types of breast pumps: manual, electric, and hospital-grade. Each type has its own benefits and drawbacks, and the choice of which one to use depends on the individual mother's needs and preferences.

Leaching and efficiency of six organic zinc fertilizers applied to navy bean crop grown in a weakly acidic soil of Spain.
Zinc contamination of groundwater from fertilizers applied to pulse crops is a potential problem, but the use of different types of organic chelates can minimize the contamination potential while still adequately feeding the crops. The objective of this study was to compare the leaching, distribution in fractions and availability, and relative effectiveness of Zn from six organic Zn fertilizers (zinc-ethylenediaminetetraacetate- N-2-hydroxyethylethylenediaminetriacetate (Zn-EDTA-HEDTA), Zn-HEDTA, zinc- S, S'-ethylenediaminedisuccinate (Zn- S, S-EDDS), zinc-polyhydroxyphenylcarboxylate, Zn-EDTA, and zinc-ethylenediaminedi(2-hydroxy-5-sulfophenylacetate) (Zn-EDDHSA)) applied to a navy bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris, L.) crop cultivated by applying different Zn levels, in a weakly acidic soil under greenhouse conditions. Zinc soil behavior was evaluated by diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid-triethanolamine (DTPA-TEA), DTPA-ammonium bicarbonate (DTPA-AB), Mehlich-3, and BaCl 2 extractions and sequential fractionation. In all the fertilizer treatments, the percentage of labile Zn that remained in the soil was high with respect to the quantity of Zn applied, with values respectively ranging from 42 to 80% for Zn-EDDHSA and Zn-EDTA sources. A positive correlation with a high level of significance existed between the micronutrient concentration in the navy bean crop (total and soluble) and labile Zn fractions, available Zn, and easily leachable Zn ( r ranged from 0.89 to 0.95, P < 0.0001). The relatively high quantity of total Zn leached by applying Zn-EDTA and Zn-S,S-EDDS sources (11.9 and 6.0%, respectively, for the rate 10 mg of Zn kg(-1) of soil) poses a potential pollution risk for neighboring waters. It would seem recommendable to apply Zn-HEDTA or Zn-EDDHSA sources, even applied at the low rate (5 mg of Zn kg(-1) of soil), because they produced available Zn concentrations in the soil that were above the critical concentration and also produced high Zn concentrations in plants (139 and 106 mg of Zn kg(-1) of dry matter, respectively).

Lesson: Understanding Soil Chemistry and Zinc Fertilizers

Introduction:
Soil chemistry plays a crucial role in plant growth and development. One of the essential elements required for plants to grow is Zinc (Zn). However, excessive use of Zinc fertilizers can lead to groundwater contamination. This lesson will discuss the importance of soil chemistry, Zinc fertilizers, and their impact on the environment.

Section 1: Soil Chemistry
- Soil chemistry refers to the chemical processes that occur in the soil, which affect plant growth.
- Soil pH, organic matter, and nutrient availability are essential factors that influence plant growth.
- Soil pH affects the availability of nutrients, with most plants requiring a slightly acidic soil (pH 6.0-7.0).
- Organic matter improves soil structure, water retention, and provides nutrients for plants.
- Nutrient availability is affected by the type of soil and the presence of other elements that may inhibit or enhance nutrient uptake.

Section 2: Zinc Fertilizers
- Zinc is an essential micronutrient for plants, as it is involved in various enzymatic reactions.
- Zinc deficiency can lead to stunted growth, reduced yield, and poor quality of crops.
- Organic Zinc fertilizers are used to supplement the required amount of Zinc in the soil.
- Examples of organic Zinc fertilizers include Zinc-EDTA-HEDTA, Zn-HEDTA, zinc-S, S'-EDDS, zinc-polyhydroxyphenylcarboxylate, Zn-EDTA, and zinc-ethylenediaminedi(2-hydroxy-5-sulfophenylacetate) (Zn-EDDHSA).
- The efficiency of these fertilizers depends on the type of soil, pH, and the presence of other elements that may affect Zinc availability.

Section 3: Impact of Zinc Fertilizers on the Environment
- Excessive use of Zinc fertilizers can lead to groundwater contamination, as Zinc can leach into the soil and reach underground water sources.
- The use of different types of organic chelates can minimize the contamination potential while still adequately feeding the crops.
- The objective of this study was to compare the leaching, distribution in fractions and availability, and relative effectiveness of Zn from six organic Zn fertilizers.
- The study found that the use of organic Zinc fertilizers can help reduce the risk of groundwater contamination while still providing the required amount of Zinc for plant growth.

Conclusion:
Understanding soil chemistry and the impact of Zinc fertilizers on the environment is essential for sustainable agriculture. By using organic Zinc fertilizers, farmers can ensure optimal plant growth while minimizing the risk of environmental contamination. This lesson has provided an overview of soil chemistry, Zinc fertilizers, and their impact on the environment.

- Business language can be technical, legalistic, and jargon-filled.
- To understand business information, you must know the industry-specific terms and acronyms.
- Use a dictionary or online resources to look up unfamiliar words or phrases.
Example: Decoding industry-specific terms in a sales report
- "Net sales" refers to the total amount of money received from customers after discounts, returns, and allowances.
- "Gross profit margin" is the percentage of total sales income that remains after subtracting the costs of goods sold.
Topic 3: Analyzing Business Data
- Business information often includes numerical data that needs to be analyzed.
- Look for patterns, trends, and anomalies in the data.
- Compare the data to industry benchmarks or previous periods to identify significant changes.
Example: Analyzing sales data in a sales report
- Compare the current month's sales to the previous month's sales to identify trends.
- Calculate the gross profit margin to determine the company's financial health.
Section 2: Applying Business Information
Topic 1: Making Informed Decisions
- Use business information to identify opportunities and risks.
- Analyze the data to make informed decisions based on facts, not assumptions.
Example: Using sales data to make a decision
- If sales have increased by 10% compared to the previous month, consider increasing the marketing budget to maintain the momentum.
Topic 2: Evaluating Business Performance
- Use business information to evaluate the company's performance against goals and objectives.
- Identify areas of strength and weakness and develop strategies to improve performance.
Example: Evaluating sales performance in a sales report
- If the company's sales performance is below expectations, consider conducting market research to identify the reasons for the decline.
Conclusion:
Understanding business information is crucial for making informed decisions and evaluating business performance. By following the steps outlined in this lesson, you can read and interpret business documents, understand industry-specific terms and acronyms, analyze data, and apply the information to make informed decisions. Remember to always approach business information with a critical mindset and consider multiple perspectives before drawing conclusions.

Scientists can use genetic engineering to produce drugs that target specific proteins or cellular processes involved in disease.

## Section 5: Conclusion
Biotechnology is a powerful tool that has numerous applications in different fields. It involves the manipulation of genetic material to produce desired traits in organisms. By understanding the principles of biotechnology, we can apply this knowledge to develop new products and services that can improve our lives.

Lesson: Introduction to Finance

### Section 1: What is Finance?
Finance is the study of money management and the process of acquiring and allocating funds in an organization or a person's life. It involves understanding and managing financial resources, including budgeting, saving, investing, and borrowing. Finance is essential because it helps individuals and organizations make informed decisions about their financial future.

### Section 2: Key Concepts in Finance
There are several key concepts in finance that you should understand. These include:

1. Time Value of Money: This concept states that money today is worth more than the same amount of money in the future due to its potential earning capacity.

2. Risk and Return: This concept states that the higher the risk, the higher the potential return on investment. In other words, investors expect higher returns for taking higher risks.

3. Diversification: This concept involves spreading investments across different assets or industries to minimize risk exposure.

4. Compound Interest: This concept involves earning interest on both the initial principal and any accumulated interest over time.

5. Net Present Value (NPV): This concept measures the potential profitability of an investment or project by calculating the difference between the initial investment cost and the sum of discounted cash flows over a specified period.

### Section 3: Applying Finance Concepts to Real-World Scenarios
Now let's apply these finance concepts to real-world scenarios:

Scenario 1: You have $10,000 to invest and want to choose between two investment options. Option A offers a 5% annual return with no risk, while Option B offers an 8% annual return but comes with a high level of risk.

Using the risk and return concept, you should choose Option B because it offers a higher potential return despite the higher risk.

Scenario 2: You want to buy a car that costs $30,000. You have $10,000 saved and need to take out a loan for the remaining $20,000.

Using the time value of money concept, you should consider the monthly loan payment and the total interest paid over the life of the loan. Choose the shortest repayment term you can afford to minimize the total interest paid.

Scenario 3: You plan to save for retirement over the next 40 years.

Using the compound interest concept, you should start saving early and contribute regularly to your retirement fund to maximize the benefits of compounding returns over time.

Conclusion: Understanding finance concepts and applying them to real-world scenarios can help you make informed decisions about budgeting, saving, investing, and borrowing. By mastering these concepts, you can achieve financial success and security.

Lesson: Introduction to Internal Audit and SOX Compliance

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
Internal audit is an independent function that evaluates and improves the effectiveness of an organization's risk management, control, and governance processes. It is designed to provide stakeholders with reasonable assurance that the organization is operating effectively and efficiently, and in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

SOX (Sarbanes-Oxley) compliance refers to the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which was enacted in response to high-profile financial scandals. The act established new standards for public company boards, management, and auditors, and it also created the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB).

## Section 2: Practical Examples
Let's consider an example of how internal audit might evaluate a company's financial reporting process. The auditor might review the company's accounting policies and procedures, test the accuracy of transactions recorded in the general ledger, and assess the design and operation of relevant controls. If any issues are identified, the auditor would make recommendations for improvement.

Now let's look at an example of how SOX compliance might affect a company's operations. Suppose a company is required to comply with Section 404 of SOX, which requires management to assess and report on the effectiveness of the company's internal control over financial reporting. This requirement can be time-consuming and costly to implement, but it is necessary to ensure that financial statements are accurate and reliable.

## Section 3: Self-Debating Discussions
Why is internal audit an important function for organizations? How does SOX compliance impact the operations of a company? What are some common issues that internal auditors encounter during their evaluations?

## Glossary
- Internal Audit: A function responsible for evaluating and improving an organization's risk management, control, and governance processes.
- SOX Compliance: Compliance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
- PCAOB: The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, a regulatory body established by SOX to oversee the audits of public companies.

## Conclusion
Understanding internal audit and SOX compliance is essential for anyone working in a public company or involved in financial reporting. By learning about these topics, you can gain valuable insights into how organizations manage risk and ensure compliance, and you can contribute to the effectiveness and efficiency of your organization's operations.

1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to the technical area of recording physiological and physical data of a patient so that, in particular, monitoring, screening, or diagnosis can be performed. The invention relates in particular to recording the electrical activity of the heart muscle of a patient and the temperature of the patient.
2. Description of Related Art
In the above technical area, numerous instruments are known that take the patient's temperature and, by use of cells placed on the body of a patient, send an electrocardiogram signal, known as ECG, corresponding to the electrical currents produced by heart muscle contractions. A range of instruments have been developed, with the drawback of being fixed and with limited independent operation, requiring data to be acquired at times that do not necessarily respond to a characteristic phase of the heart rhythm. Moreover, data are recorded when the person is under conditions that do not exactly reproduce actual situations in the patient's daily life. It thus appeared that an ambulatory device was needed, adapted to a patient, and designed for picking up both physical and physiological data over a period of several days to several weeks.
One of the drawbacks of ambulatory devices is their inaccuracy, because they cannot follow the instantaneous heart rate. Moreover, these devices have a short power supply life, limiting their utilization time.

textbook:
Lesson: How to Record Physiological and Physical Data of a Patient

## Section 1: Introduction
In this lesson, we will learn about the technical area of recording physiological and physical data of a patient. We will focus on two specific types of data: the electrical activity of the heart muscle and the temperature of the patient. This information can be used to monitor, screen, or diagnose various health conditions.

## Section 2: Understanding the Invention
The invention relates to a device that records both the electrical activity of the heart muscle and the temperature of the patient. It is particularly useful for situations where continuous monitoring is necessary, such as in hospitals or clinics. The device is designed to be portable and easy to use, allowing for independent operation without the need for constant supervision.

## Section 3: How the Device Works
The device works by placing cells on the body of the patient that are sensitive to electrical signals produced by the heart muscle. These cells convert the electrical signals into a digital signal that can be transmitted to a computer or other monitoring device. Additionally, the device contains a thermometer that measures the temperature of the patient. Both sets of data are recorded and can be analyzed by medical professionals to determine the patient's overall health status.

## Section 4: Practical Examples
One practical example of how this device could be used is in the monitoring of patients who have recently undergone heart surgery. By continuously monitoring their heart rate and temperature, medical professionals can quickly detect any changes that may indicate complications and take appropriate action.

Another example is in the screening of newborns for potential health issues. By recording the electrical activity of the heart and temperature, medical professionals can identify any abnormalities early on and provide appropriate treatment.

## Section 5: Critical Thinking Questions
1. Why is it important to continuously monitor the heart rate and temperature of patients?
2. What are some potential complications that could arise if this device was not used?
3. How could this device be improved to make it even more effective?

## Section 6: Glossary
- Electrical activity of the heart muscle: The electrical currents produced by the heart muscle during each beat.
- Temperature: The measure of heat or cold that a body possesses, often measured in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit.
- Electrocardiogram (ECG): A graphic record of the electrical activity of the heart muscle, often used to diagnose various heart conditions.

## Conclusion
By understanding the technical area of recording physiological and physical data of a patient, we can see how important it is to have accurate and reliable devices for monitoring, screening, and diagnosing various health conditions. By learning about the invention and its practical applications, we can appreciate the importance of continuous monitoring and the potential benefits it can provide. By engaging in critical thinking exercises, we can develop a deeper understanding of the subject matter and apply our knowledge to new problems.

Title: The Importance of Community Clinics

### Introduction
In this lesson, we will learn about community clinics and their importance in providing healthcare services to underserved communities. We will explore the history of community clinics, their impact on society, and the challenges they face. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to understand the role of community clinics in improving health outcomes and promoting equity in healthcare.

### Section 1: The History of Community Clinics
Community clinics have a long history dating back to the early 1900s when they were first established to provide medical care to people who could not afford private healthcare or were excluded from mainstream medical facilities. These clinics were often run by volunteers and provided basic medical services such as vaccinations, check-ups, and treatment for minor illnesses.

In the United States, community clinics were established in response to the growing need for healthcare services among low-income and uninsured individuals. The first community clinic was founded in New York City in 1917, and since then, thousands of clinics have been established across the country.

### Section 2: The Impact of Community Clinics
Community clinics play a vital role in providing healthcare services to underserved communities. They serve as a safety net for those who cannot afford private healthcare or do not have access to traditional medical facilities. Community clinics provide essential medical services such as preventive care, treatment for chronic conditions, and mental health services.

The impact of community clinics on society is significant. They help reduce health disparities by providing equal access to healthcare services regardless of an individual's ability to pay. They also improve health outcomes by providing preventive care and early intervention for chronic conditions. Additionally, community clinics contribute to the overall health of the community by providing health education and promoting healthy lifestyles.

### Section 3: Challenges Faced by Community Clinics
Despite their importance, community clinics face several challenges that limit their ability to provide quality healthcare services. One of the most significant challenges is funding. Community clinics often rely on government grants, donations, and volunteer work, which can be unpredictable and insufficient to cover all costs.

Another challenge faced by community clinics is the shortage of healthcare professionals. There is a shortage of primary care physicians, nurses, and other healthcare workers who are willing to work in underserved areas. This shortage limits the ability of community clinics to provide comprehensive healthcare services.

### Conclusion
In conclusion, community clinics play a crucial role in providing healthcare services to underserved communities. They have a long history of providing essential medical services to those who cannot afford private healthcare or do not have access to traditional medical facilities. Despite the challenges they face, community clinics continue to make a significant impact on society by reducing health disparities and improving health outcomes. By supporting community clinics, we can promote equity in healthcare and ensure that everyone has access to essential medical services.

Lesson: The Importance of Verbal & Non Verbal Communication
Introduction:
Communication is an essential part of human life. It helps us to share information, ideas, and feelings with others. Communication can be verbal or non-verbal, and both are equally important. In this lesson, we will learn about the importance of verbal and non-verbal communication and how they help us in our daily lives.
Verbal Communication:
Verbal communication refers to the use of words and sounds to exchange information between people. It includes speaking, listening, and writing. Verbal communication is essential for conveying thoughts, ideas, and opinions. It is also used to give instructions, share information, and express emotions.
Non-Verbal Communication:
Non-verbal communication refers to the use of body language, facial expressions, and gestures to convey messages without using words. It includes posture, eye contact, and hand gestures. Non-verbal communication is essential for understanding the emotions and intentions of others. It is also used to convey agreement or disagreement, and to show respect or disrespect.
Importance of Verbal and Non-Verbal Communication:
Verbal and non-verbal communication are essential for effective communication. They work together to convey messages and understand each other's thoughts, feelings, and intentions. Here are some reasons why verbal and non-verbal communication are important:
1. Conveying Information: Verbal communication is essential for conveying information, ideas, and opinions. Non-verbal communication helps to reinforce the message and add meaning to the words.
2. Building Relationships: Verbal and non-verbal communication help to build relationships with others. They help us to connect with others on a personal level and establish trust and respect.
3. Expressing Emotions: Verbal communication is used to express emotions, while non-verbal communication helps to convey the intensity of those emotions. For example, a person may say "I am fine" but their body language may show that they are not.
4. Enhancing Understanding: Verbal and non-verbal communication work together to enhance understanding. For example, a person may say "I agree with you" while nodding their head and smiling, which shows that they mean it.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, verbal and non-verbal communication are essential for effective communication. They work together to convey messages and understand each other's thoughts, feelings, and intentions. By learning how to use verbal and non-verbal communication effectively, we can improve our relationships, express ourselves more effectively, and understand others better.

**Lesson: Introduction to Economics**

**Objective:** To introduce students to the basic concepts of economics and how they relate to real-world scenarios.

**Section 1: What is Economics?**

Economics is the study of how people use scarce resources to meet their unlimited wants and needs. It is concerned with the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services.

**Theoretical Concept:** Scarcity

**Practical Example:** Imagine you have $100 to spend on food for a month. You want to eat pizza every day, but it costs $20 per pizza. How do you decide which other foods to buy so you can still eat pizza and have enough money left over for other expenses?

**Section 2: Supply and Demand**

Supply and demand are two of the most fundamental concepts in economics. They determine the price and quantity of goods and services produced in a market.

**Theoretical Concept:** Supply and Demand Curves

**Practical Example:** If the price of a popular toy increases from $50 to $70, how will this affect the quantity demanded by consumers? Use a demand curve to illustrate your answer.

**Section 3: Opportunity Cost**

Opportunity cost refers to the value of the next best alternative that must be given up when making a choice.

**Theoretical Concept:** Opportunity Cost

**Practical Example:** You have $100 to spend on either a new phone or a vacation. If you choose the vacation, what is the opportunity cost of not buying the new phone?

**Glossary:**
- Scarcity: The limited availability of resources to satisfy unlimited wants and needs.
- Supply: The amount of a good or service that producers are willing and able to produce and sell at various prices.
- Demand: The amount of a good or service that consumers are willing and able to buy at various prices.
- Opportunity Cost: The value of the next best alternative that must be given up when making a choice.

**Conclusion:**

Understanding the basics of economics can help us make better decisions in our daily lives. By analyzing supply and demand, we can understand how prices are determined in the market. By considering opportunity cost, we can make informed choices about how to allocate our resources wisely. As we continue to learn about economics, we will be better equipped to navigate the complexities of the global economy.

The logo of digital activist organiztaion Anonymous Operations. The 'hacktivist' group posted some 90,000 military e-mail addresses and passwords to a torrent website. (Anonymous Operations)

The “hacktivist” organization Anonymous Operations posted some 90,000 military e-mail addresses and passwords, to the Pirate Bay torrent website on July 11, in what they called “Military Meltdown Monday."

The organization hacked into the networks of government contracting and consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton, where they claim to have discovered “a list of roughly 90,000 military e-mails and password hashes … 4gb of source code,” and “maps and keys for various other treasure chests buried on the islands of government agencies, federal contractors and shady whitehat companies.”

Anonymous further claims that Booz Allen was involved with several government surveillance and intelligence-gathering programs “that may be deemed illegal” and insinuate that several of Booz Allen’s executives, all former members of the Nation Security Agency, garnered illegal government favor in their private business efforts.

Anonymous preceded the release with multiple lead-up tweets from several of their affiliated twitter accounts. One account, “anonymouSabu,” formerly part of the LulzSec hacking group, claims that this is the first of “two of the biggest releases for Anonymous in the last 4 years,” and sent a warning to the intelligence community, stating “Everyone brace. This is literally explosive.”

Another account, “YourAnonNews”, states that “today’s #AntiSec release will without any doubt be the biggest release so far.”

“AntiSec” or operation Anti-Security, was a collaborative effort between hacker groups LulzSec, Anonymous, and various others to attack and steal confidential information from major governments and corporations, and expose perceived corruption and abuse of power. LulzSec disbanded in late June, its members reintegrating with their original foundations in Anonymous.

The websites and networks of numerous companies and government organizations have already been attacked in the name of AntiSec. Anonymous believes that their efforts are simply a form of civil disobedience, calling their tactics “peaceful protest." The government, meanwhile, has been actively trying to track down and arrest its members.

Anonymous made headlines last year when they attacked MasterCard, Visa, and PayPal after the companies had suspended payments directed to the information leaking website WikiLeaks and its founder, Julian Assange.
