What Immigrant Communities Can Do to Prepare for Trump

By ELENA SHORE, New America Media

SAN FRANCISCO — Two days after Donald Trump’s victory, immigration experts told reporters to keep a close eye on the president-elect’s transition team and his appointments to key government positions, for clues as to what to expect from his administration once he is sworn in on Jan. 20, 2017.

“When you look at the popular vote [which Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton won], the majority of Americans did not vote for Trump and his anti-immigrant rhetoric,” Kinoshita said on a national press call organized by New America Media and Ready California, a coalition of nonprofits that serve immigrant communities.

“This election,” she cautioned, “is not a reflection of Americans in general and their views of immigrants.”

What the Polls Got Wrong

The election of Trump came as a surprise to pollsters, who had estimated Clinton’s chances of winning at 70 percent and up.

“From a historical standpoint, the polling was wrong for the following reasons: Turnout in urban centers [that traditionally vote Democratic]was slightly lighter than expected; and turnout in rural areas was higher than expected,” explained Anthony Williams, special project director of the Miami-based public opinion research firm Bendixen & Amandi International.

This had the effect of “flipping three states that nobody thought were in play: Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, and, to a certain extent, Florida,” he said.

But a look at the total numbers shows that Trump prevailed in the Electoral College, not because of a swell of enthusiasm for the Republican candidate, but because of a lack of enthusiasm for Clinton.

Trump’s vote total was roughly equal to GOP candidate John McCain’s total in 2008, and he got fewer votes than GOP candidate Mitt Romney got in 2012.

Clinton, meanwhile, got about 60 million votes — six million fewer than Barack Obama got in 2012, and 10 million fewer than Obama got in 2008.

While there was “very little evidence” of an insidious effort at voter suppression in this election, said Williams, there were “other forms of voter suppression, not the least of which was the overwhelming sense that it was over.

“You could make the argument,” he said, “that the perception of [Clinton’s] victory suppressed turnout [in urban areas that would have voted for Clinton].”

Increase in Hispanic, Asian Voters

“The notion that there was a Hispanic wave was real,” noted Williams. “In Nevada, the increase in Hispanic turnout was the difference in the election.”

But Williams said that in other states, such as Florida, there were not enough Latino voters to overcome the increase in the rural, white voter turnout.

Based on early voter turnout, she said, the AAPI vote doubled in Florida, Arizona, Virginia and North Carolina, and tripled in Georgia.

Two Asian American women were elected to the U.S. Senate, joining Mazie Hirono of Hawaii: Tammy Duckworth of Illinois, who is Thai Chinese, and Kamala Harris of California, who is African American and Indian.

In Nevada, Catherine Cortez Masto became the first Latina ever elected to the U.S. Senate.

A Challenging Time Ahead

The election of Trump, a candidate who made fear and xenophobia a central part of his campaign, has spurred advocates to pledge to fight for the dignity of all families.

“There’s no doubt we are entering a challenging period. The election was divisive and damaging. We saw hate crimes, hateful rhetoric,” said Kamal Essaheb, national director of policy and advocacy for National Immigration Law Center.

“President-Elect Trump has called for unity in his election night speech, but obviously his actions are going to have to speak louder,” Essaheb said.

The most important thing to do now, he said, is to make sure immigrants are prepared and know their rights.

One thing to keep in mind, he said, are the limits of presidential power.

“The Constitution protects everyone,” Essaheb said. “Law enforcement has to show you [a warrant to enter your house]. You have the right to remain silent. You have the right to call an attorney.”

“There are things he can do that will be harmful,” said Essaheb. But, he said, “Trump cannot take away the Constitution. He cannot take away the people’s rights.”

Another thing he can’t take away are state and local laws, such as California’s AB 60, which allows undocumented immigrants to get a driver’s license. “State and city-level policies did not change on Tuesday night,” Essaheb said. “The same opportunities are there; the imperative to act is higher.”

Trump has said that he would repeal Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), the executive action taken by Obama in 2012 that gives certain undocumented immigrants who came here as children access to a work permit.

He has said that he would eliminate federal funding to so-called “sanctuary cities” whose policies limit cooperation between local police and federal immigration authorities.

He has talked about stepping up deportations, with “zero tolerance for criminal aliens.”

He has also talked about building a wall, something that experts say is neither practical nor feasible.

He has even hinted at a path to legalization for undocumented immigrants, Essaheb noted, saying that once we enforce our laws, we can start to have a conversation about the people who are already here.

What Families Can Do Now

Although it is hard to know exactly what to expect under a Trump administration, there are some steps families can take now to stay safe and plan for their future.

Kinoshita of Immigrant Legal Resource Center noted that Trump is not president until Jan. 20, 2017. Until then, the DACA program remains in effect.

It takes several months for DACA applications to be processed, Kinoshita said, so if people have not applied for DACA, it might be too late.

Trump has said he would get rid of the program; the earliest this would happen is his first day in office.

Renewals, which take eight weeks to be processed, would be much less of a risk, said Kinoshita. Some people are renewing their DACA now while Obama is in office, in order to get a two-year work permit.

Anyone planning to renew DACA now should know that the price for DACA increases to $495 on Dec. 23, 2016. Loans are available through the Mission Asset Fund, Self-Help Federal Credit Union, the Mexican Consulate or local service providers.

Because there is expected to be an increase in enforcement, prioritizing those with criminal records, she said, people should avoid brushes with the law.

“Something like a DUI or a drug conviction can have permanent immigration consequences,” Kinoshita said.

Those who live in California can get certain felonies reduced to misdemeanors under Prop 47.

Kinoshita encouraged all immigrants to go to a qualified legal services provider to be screened for other forms of immigration relief.

Title: Lesson on Preparing for Trump's Anti-Immigrant Policies

Introduction:

In this lesson, we will learn about the potential impact of Trump's anti-immigrant policies and what immigrant communities can do to prepare for them. We will cover the following topics:

1. Understanding Trump's Anti-Immigrant Policies
2. Developing a Plan of Action
3. Staying Informed and Engaged

Section 1: Understanding Trump's Anti-Immigrant Policies

Topic 1: What are Trump's Anti-Immigrant Policies?

Trump has promised to implement a series of policies that aim to reduce immigration to the United States. Some of these policies include building a wall along the Mexican border, deporting millions of undocumented immigrants, ending birthright citizenship, and banning Muslims from entering the country.

Topic 2: How will these policies affect immigrant communities?

The implementation of these policies could have a significant impact on immigrant communities. For example, mass deportations could tear families apart, and ending birthright citizenship could prevent future generations of immigrants from becoming American citizens.

Topic 3: What can we expect from Trump's administration?

It is difficult to predict exactly what Trump's administration will do regarding immigration. However, we can look at his appointments and statements to get an idea of what to expect. For example, Trump has appointed anti-immigrant hardliners like Steve Bannon and Jeff Sessions to key positions in his administration.

Section 2: Developing a Plan of Action

Topic 1: Building a Network of Support

One of the best ways to prepare for potential anti-immigrant policies is to build a network of support among friends, family, and community members. This network can provide emotional support, legal advice, and resources in case of deportation or other immigration-related issues.

Topic 2: Getting Involved in Local Politics

Another way to prepare for potential anti-immigrant policies is to get involved in local politics. This could include attending city council meetings, running for office, or joining local organizations that advocate for immigrant rights.

Topic 3: Creating a Legal Defense Fund

Creating a legal defense fund can help immigrant communities prepare for potential legal challenges related to immigration policy changes. This fund can be used to pay for legal fees, bonds, and other expenses related to immigration proceedings.

Section 3: Staying Informed and Engaged

Topic 1: Keeping Up with the News

Staying informed about developments related to immigration policy is crucial. This can be done by following reputable news sources, signing up for email alerts from immigrant rights organizations, and participating in online forums and social media groups.

Topic 2: Attending Protests and Rallies

Protests and rallies are an important way to show support for immigrant rights and to put pressure on elected officials to take action. Attending these events can help raise awareness about the issues facing immigrant communities and build solidarity among those fighting for change.

Topic 3: Contacting Elected Officials

Contacting elected officials is another way to stay engaged and informed about immigrant rights issues. This can be done by calling, emailing, or meeting with representatives to express concerns and ask questions about their stance on immigration policy.

Glossary:

- Anti-immigrant: policies or beliefs that are opposed to immigration or supportive of reducing the number of immigrants in a country
- Deportation: the process of removing someone from the country who is not a citizen
- Birthright citizenship: the right to citizenship granted to individuals who are born in a country, regardless of their parents' citizenship status
- Immigrant rights: the rights of individuals who are immigrants or descendants of immigrants, including the right to fair treatment, equal opportunities, and protection from discrimination

Conclusion:

In conclusion, understanding Trump's anti-immigrant policies and preparing for potential impacts is crucial for immigrant communities. By building a network of support, getting involved in local politics, creating a legal defense fund, staying informed, and engaging with elected officials, we can work towards protecting the rights and well-being of immigrants in our country.

In the field of AC/DC switching power supply applications, a starting circuit is needed to provide the required start-up voltage to the controller chip. In traditional application, The starting circuit is achieved by connecting a resistor with large resistance between the rectifier and the power terminal of the controller chip, the output terminal of the rectifier charges a bypass capacitor of the controller chip through the resistor with large resistance, when a starting voltage is reached, the controller starts, and the system begins to work properly. After the completion of the starting, the energy required by the power terminal of the controller chip is mainly provided by an auxiliary winding. In normal work period of the controller chip, the resistor in the starting circuit still consumes a certain amount of power, which seriously affects the overall efficiency of the system. One way to solve this problem is to reduce the starting current of the controller chip and increase the starting resistance. However, due to the large starting resistance, the starting current is correspondingly reduced, and the starting time is prolonged. Another way is to integrate the starting circuit into the controller chip, after the starting is completed and the system works normally, the starting circuit is closed to remove the effect on the overall efficiency of the switching power supply system from the starting circuit.
The controller chip integrates the starting circuit, the power can only be provided to the controller chip after the completion of the conversion from high voltage to low voltage, which inevitably increases the area of the chip, and how to effectively reduce the controller chip area without affecting the starting requirements of controller chip, is the key problem that the internal integrated starting circuit confronts and must be solved. To the power chip with the controller chip integrated high voltage power MOS, the problem becomes more prominent, the area of the chip is very big, which leads to an increasing cost of the chip.
In addition, the requirement of reducing power consumption for the modern switching power supply increases day by day, and a green switching power supply is necessary for all applications, which is not only referred to the handheld and battery power supply system in the past, therefore in the promise of protecting ecological environment, reducing the energy consumption of the electric power supply system and battery power supply system is indispensable. In China, it can bring more special advantages: reducing the load of coal-fired power stations. It not only requires that the control core of the power chip is with low power consumption characteristics, but also requires that the control core of the power chip has some features further reducing the power consumption of the system.
Therefore, it is necessary to put forward an effective technical solution to solve the problem existing in design of switching power supply chip in the prior art.

Lesson: Understanding Starting Circuits in AC/DC Switching Power Supplies

## Section 1: Introduction

In this lesson, we will learn about starting circuits in AC/DC switching power supplies. We will cover the following topics:

- What is a starting circuit?
- Why is a starting circuit needed in AC/DC switching power supplies?
- How does a starting circuit work?

## Section 2: What is a Starting Circuit?

A starting circuit is a component in an electrical system that provides an initial electrical current to a device or circuit. In the context of AC/DC switching power supplies, a starting circuit is needed to provide the required start-up voltage to the controller chip.

## Section 3: Why is a Starting Circuit Needed in AC/DC Switching Power Supplies?

A starting circuit is needed in AC/DC switching power supplies because the controller chip requires a start-up voltage to begin working properly. Without a starting circuit, the controller chip would not receive the necessary voltage to begin functioning, and the entire system would not operate correctly.

## Section 4: How Does a Starting Circuit Work?

In traditional applications, the starting circuit is achieved by connecting a resistor with large resistance between the rectifier and the power terminal of the controller chip. When the rectifier outputs a voltage, the output terminal of the rectifier charges a bypass capacitor of the controller chip through the resistor with large resistance. When a starting voltage is reached, the controller starts, and the system begins to work properly.

After the completion of the starting, the energy required by the power terminal of the controller chip is mainly provided by an auxiliary winding. In normal work periods of the controller chip, the resistor in the starting circuit still consumes a certain amount of power, which seriously affects the overall efficiency of the system.

One way to solve this problem is to reduce the starting current of the controller chip and increase the starting resistance. However, due to the large starting resistance, the starting current is correspondingly reduced, and the starting time is prolonged. Another way is to integrate the starting circuit into the controller chip itself, which eliminates the need for an external starting circuit.

## Section 5: Conclusion

In this lesson, we learned about starting circuits in AC/DC switching power supplies. We covered the basic concepts of what a starting circuit is, why it is needed, and how it works. We also discussed some ways to improve the efficiency of starting circuits. By understanding these concepts, we can apply them to other areas of electronics and power systems.

Lesson: Credit Cards and Their Impact on Financial Health

## Introduction

Credit cards have become a common financial tool used by individuals worldwide. They offer convenience and flexibility in making purchases, but they also come with risks and responsibilities. In this lesson, we will explore the pros and cons of having multiple credit cards and how they can impact one's financial health.

## Section 1: Understanding Credit Cards

### Topic 1: What is a credit card?

A credit card is a type of borrowing that allows individuals to make purchases without immediately paying for them. Instead, the amount is added to the card's balance, which must be paid back with interest. Credit cards are issued by banks or financial institutions and can be used to make purchases online, over the phone, or in-store.

### Topic 2: How do credit cards work?

When an individual uses a credit card to make a purchase, the card issuer pays the vendor on behalf of the cardholder. The cardholder is then responsible for repaying the amount they spent plus any interest that accrues on the balance. The interest rate is typically expressed as an annual percentage rate (APR) and varies depending on the card issuer and the cardholder's creditworthiness.

### Topic 3: What are the benefits of having a credit card?

Having a credit card offers several benefits, including:

- Convenience: Credit cards allow individuals to make purchases without carrying cash or writing checks.
- Rewards and perks: Many credit cards offer rewards such as cashback, travel points, or discounts on purchases.
- Emergency funding: Credit cards can provide access to funds in case of unexpected expenses or emergencies.
- Building credit: Using a credit card responsibly can help individuals build their credit history and improve their credit score.

### Topic 4: What are the risks of having a credit card?

While credit cards offer several benefits, they also come with risks, including:

- Overspending: Credit cards can make it easy to overspend, especially if individuals do not track their spending carefully.
- High-interest rates: If individuals do not pay off their credit card balance in full each month, they will be charged interest on the outstanding balance.
- Debt accumulation: Carrying a high balance on a credit card can lead to debt accumulation, which can be difficult and expensive to pay off.
- Identity theft: Credit card information can be stolen and used fraudulently, leading to unauthorized charges and potential damage to the cardholder's credit score.

## Section 2: Pros and Cons of Having Multiple Credit Cards

### Topic 1: Pros of having multiple credit cards

- Greater credit limit: Having multiple credit cards can provide individuals with a higher overall credit limit, which can be useful in case of unexpected expenses or emergencies.
- Better rewards and perks: Some credit card issuers offer better rewards and perks for individuals who have multiple cards with them.
- Improved credit score: Responsible use of multiple credit cards can help individuals build their credit history and improve their credit score.

### Topic 2: Cons of having multiple credit cards

- Increased risk of overspending: With multiple credit cards, individuals may be more likely to overspend, especially if they do not track their spending carefully.
- Difficulty in managing payments: Having multiple credit cards can make it more challenging to keep track of due dates and minimum payment requirements.
- Higher potential for debt: Carrying high balances on multiple credit cards can lead to debt accumulation and higher interest payments.
- Increased risk of identity theft: Having multiple credit cards can increase the risk of identity theft, as there are more cards to monitor for fraudulent activity.

## Section 3: Tips for Managing Multiple Credit Cards

### Topic 1: Track spending and payments

Individuals who have multiple credit cards should track their spending and payments carefully to avoid overspending and accumulating debt. This can be done by creating a budget, monitoring account statements, and setting up reminders for when payments are due.

### Topic 2: Pay off balances in full

To avoid interest charges and debt accumulation, individuals should aim to pay off their credit card balances in full each month. If this is not possible, they should prioritize paying off the highest-interest debts first.

### Topic 3: Monitor credit reports

Regularly monitoring credit reports can help individuals identify any fraudulent activity and take steps to correct any errors or issues. This can help protect against identity theft and maintain a good credit score.

## Section 4: Conclusion

In conclusion, having multiple credit cards can offer benefits such as greater credit limits and better rewards, but it also comes with risks such as overspending and debt accumulation. By tracking spending and payments, paying off balances in full, and monitoring credit reports, individuals can manage their credit cards responsibly and use them to improve their financial health.

Q:

Making a simple program that show desktop and quit

I put this code:
- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(NSNotification *)aNotification
{
    [[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] hideOtherApplications];// Insert code here to initialize your application
    [NSApp terminate:self];
}

If I comment out [NSApp terminate:self]; then yea all other applications are hidden. However, if I quit the application they show up again.
Also if I make the code like that the program doesn't do anything actually. It hides all other applications and then quit showing all other applications again.
The program is simple.
Hide all application
Quit
After quitting I want all applications to remain hidden. it's so simple. How?

A:

What you want, I believe, is actually to minimize all other windows, not hide them.  There isn't a truly simple way to do this that I know of, but the simplest way IMO would be to call an applescript that would go through each window of each app and issue the cmd-m command.  If minimize is implemented by all of the apps then it should work fine (you could choose to close those that don't minimize if you wanted to).  It may take a bit of tinkering to get working exactly right, but the script below, taken from macscripter.net, works 80% of the time for me:
tell application "System Events"
   set currentProcesses to name of every application process whose visible = true
end tell

set tmpWindows to 0

repeat with tmpProcess in currentProcesses
   tell application tmpProcess
       activate
       try
           set tmpWindows to count windows
       on error
           set tmpWindows to 1 --> # of windows to try to force closed if it doesn't 'appear' to have any windows
       end try
   end tell

   if tmpWindows > 0 then
       tell application "System Events"
           tell application tmpProcess
               repeat tmpWindows times
                   try
                       keystroke "m" using command down
                   end try
               end repeat
           end tell
       end tell
   end if

   set tmpWindows to 0

end repeat

The other option would be to use Cocoa Accessibility API to get the windows of each running app and set the AXMinimized .  Be forewarned:  It can get pretty sticky!  These 2 other stackoverflow questions should help you on the way:
Mac / Cocoa - Getting a list of windows using Accessibility API
Cocoa accessibility API, can I click a window in the background without activating it?

Lesson: How to Hide All Other Applications on Mac

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn how to hide all other applications on a Mac using AppleScript. This can be useful when you want to focus on one application or when you want to declutter your desktop. We will also learn how to create a simple application that hides all other applications and quits when the user clicks the quit button.

Section 1: Understanding AppleScript
AppleScript is a scripting language developed by Apple Inc. It allows you to automate tasks on your Mac, such as opening files, running programs, and controlling other devices. In this lesson, we will use AppleScript to hide all other applications on a Mac.

Section 2: Writing the AppleScript Code
To hide all other applications on a Mac using AppleScript, we need to create a script that tells the computer to minimize all other windows. Here is the code:

```applescript
tell application "System Events"
    tell process "SystemUIServer"
        keystroke "m" using command down
    end tell
end tell
```

This code uses the `System Events` application and tells it to press the `m` key using the `command` key. This minimizes all other windows.

Section 3: Creating the Simple Application
Now that we have the AppleScript code, we can create a simple application that hides all other applications and quits when the user clicks the quit button.

1. Open Xcode and create a new project.
2. Select "Mac App" as the template.
3. Name your project and click "Create."
4. In the Project Navigator, double-click on your Main.storyboard file to open it in the Interface Designer.
5. Drag a Button onto the canvas and set its title to "Quit."
6. Drag another Button onto the canvas and set its title to "Hide Other Applications."
7. Connect the buttons to an Outlet in your ViewController.swift file.
8. Add the following code to your ViewController.swift file:

```swift
import Cocoa

@NSApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: NSObject, NSApplicationDelegate {
    var window: NSWindow!

    func applicationDidFinishLaunching(aNotification: Notification) {
        // Hide Other Applications
        let applescript = "tell application \"System Events\"\n    tell process \"SystemUIServer\"\n        keystroke \"m\" using command down\n    end tell\nend tell"
        executeAppleScript(applescript)

        // Quit Application
        let quitButton = NSButton(frame: NSRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 80, height: 30))
        quitButton.bezelStyle = .texturedRounded
        quitButton.title = "Quit"
        quitButton.target = self
        quitButton.action = #selector(quitButtonClicked(_:))
        window.contentView!.add(quitButton)

        // Show Quit Message Box
        let alert = NSAlert()
        alert.messageText = "Are you sure you want to quit?"
        alert.addButton(withTitle: "Quit")
        alert.addButton(withTitle: "Cancel")
        NSApplication.shared.runModalForEvent(nil)
    }

    @objc func quitButtonClicked(_ sender: Any?) {
        // Hide Other Applications
        let applescript = "tell application \"System Events\"\n    tell process \"SystemUIServer\"\n        keystroke \"m\" using command down\n    end tell\nend tell"
        executeAppleScript(applescript)

        // Quit Application
        NSApplication.shared.terminate(nil)
    }

    func executeAppleScript(_ script: String) {
        let scriptOutput = NSAppleScript(source: script)
        scriptOutput?.executeAndReturnError(nil)
    }
}
```

This code creates a simple application with two buttons: "Hide Other Applications" and "Quit." When the user clicks "Hide Other Applications," it runs the AppleScript code to minimize all other windows. When the user clicks "Quit," it runs the same AppleScript code and then quits the application.

Section 4: Practical Examples
Let's look at some practical examples of how to use this code.

Example 1: Hiding Other Applications
1. Open the simple application you created in Section 3.
2. Click the "Hide Other Applications" button.
3. All other applications should now be minimized.

Example 2: Quitting the Application
1. Open the simple application you created in Section 3.
2. Click the "Quit" button.
3. The application should quit, and all other applications should remain minimized.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned how to hide all other applications on a Mac using AppleScript. We also created a simple application that hides all other applications and quits when the user clicks the quit button. By understanding the basics of AppleScript and creating a simple application, we can automate tasks and make our lives easier.

Enhancement of anaerobic digestion efficiency of wastewater sludge and olive waste: Synergistic effect of co-digestion and ultrasonic/microwave sludge pre-treatment.
This study investigates the effect of ultrasonic and microwave pre-treatment on biogas production from the anaerobic co-digestion of olive pomace and wastewater sludges. It was found that co-digestion of wastewater sludge with olive pomace yielded around 0.21 L CH4/g VS added, whereas the maximum methane yields from the mono-digestion of olive pomace and un-pretreated wastewater sludges were 0.18 and 0.16L CH4/g VS added. In the same way, compared to mono-digestion of these substrates, co-digestion increased methane production by 17-31%. The microwave and ultrasonic pre-treatments applied to sludge samples prior to co-digestion process led to further increase in the methane production by 52% and 24%, respectively, compared to co-digestion with un-pretreated wastewater sludge. The highest biogas and methane yields were obtained from the co-digestion of 30 min microwave pre-treated wastewater sludges and olive pomace to be 0.46 L/g VS added and 0.32 L CH4/g VS added, respectively.

Lesson: Enhancing Biogas Production through Co-Digestion and Pre-Treatment

Introduction:
Biogas production is a process that converts organic waste materials into energy through anaerobic digestion. This process is an effective way to reduce waste and produce renewable energy. In this lesson, we will learn about the enhancement of anaerobic digestion efficiency through co-digestion and pre-treatment methods.

Core Value:
The core value of this study is the significant improvement in biogas production through co-digestion and pre-treatment methods. The study shows that co-digestion of wastewater sludge with olive pomace can yield up to 31% more methane than mono-digestion of these substrates. Additionally, pre-treatment methods such as microwave and ultrasonic treatment can further increase methane production by 52% and 24%, respectively.

Section 1: Introduction to Anaerobic Digestion
Anaerobic digestion is a biological process that occurs in the absence of oxygen. It involves the breakdown of organic matter by microorganisms to produce biogas, which is primarily composed of methane and carbon dioxide. Biogas can be used as a renewable energy source for heating, electricity generation, and transportation fuel.

Section 2: Co-Digestion and Pre-Treatment Methods
Co-digestion refers to the simultaneous breakdown of two or more different types of organic waste materials. In this study, wastewater sludge and olive pomace were co-digested to enhance biogas production. Pre-treatment methods such as microwave and ultrasonic treatment were also applied to sludge samples before co-digestion to further improve methane production.

Section 3: Results and Conclusion
The results of this study showed that co-digestion of wastewater sludge with olive pomace yielded around 0.21 L CH4/g VS added, which is 17-31% higher than the methane yields from the mono-digestion of olive pomace and un-pretreated wastewater sludges. Microwave and ultrasonic pre-treatments applied to sludge samples prior to co-digestion process led to further increase in the methane production by 52% and 24%, respectively, compared to co-digestion with un-pretreated wastewater sludge.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, this study demonstrates the potential of enhancing biogas production through co-digestion and pre-treatment methods. The application of these methods can lead to significant improvements in methane production, making it an attractive option for waste management and renewable energy production. By applying these methods, we can reduce waste and promote sustainable energy production.

An Evaluation of Education Methods Used to Train United States Air Force Air Medical Evacuation Crewmembers on Aircraft Systems.
United States Air Force air medical evacuation crewmembers (AECMs) are responsible for the safe air medical evacuation of casualties in dynamic environments and must be highly proficient in the C-17, C-130H/J, and KC-135R/T aircraft. Current methods to train AECMs on their aircraft proficiency include computer-based simulation training (CBT) or instructor-based training (IBT) on an actual aircraft. This study compares the aircraft proficiency scores between AECMs who were trained via CBT and IBT methods. An experimental prospective design was chosen, introducing the independent variable of CBT to the dependent variable of AECM aircraft system proficiency. Proficiency evaluation scores of the control group (n = 10) trained via IBT were compared against the scores of the intervention group (n = 10). A Mann-Whitney U test was conducted using a significance level of α = .05 and a confidence interval of 95%. The test revealed an exact significance 2-tailed P = .045 ≤ .05. AECMs trained via IBT had statistically higher aircraft proficiency evaluation scores than AECMs trained via CBT. These findings show that using IBT and a real aircraft to train AECMs is a superior training method versus CBT.

Lesson: Introduction to Programming

**Section 1: Theoretical Concepts**

Programming is the process of writing instructions for a computer to follow. These instructions are written in a language that the computer can understand, such as Java or Python. Programming involves breaking down a problem into smaller parts and creating a solution using algorithms and logic.

**Section 2: Practical Examples**

Let's say you want to write a program that calculates the area of a circle. You would need to define variables for the radius and use mathematical formulas to calculate the area. Here's an example of what the code might look like:

```
import math

def circle_area(radius):
    area = math.pi * radius ** 2
    return area
```

In this example, we imported the `math` module to access the value of `pi`. We then defined a function called `circle_area` that takes in a variable `radius` and uses the formula `pi * radius ** 2` to calculate the area. Finally, we return the calculated area.

**Section 3: Real-World Scenarios**

Programming is useful in many fields, including science, engineering, and finance. For example, a scientist might use programming to analyze data collected from an experiment. An engineer might use programming to design a bridge or building. A financial analyst might use programming to track stock prices and make investment decisions.

**Glossary**

- Programming: The process of writing instructions for a computer to follow.
- Algorithm: A set of instructions for solving a problem.
- Logic: The ability to reason and solve problems using deductive reasoning.
- Variable: A name given to a value that can change during the course of a program.
- Function: A block of code that performs a specific task.

**Conclusion**

Programming is a valuable skill that can be applied to many different fields. By learning to program, you can become more efficient at problem-solving and gain a deeper understanding of how computers work. As you continue to learn programming, you will find new opportunities to apply your skills to real-world problems and make a difference in your community.
