These video’s are made for beginners in electronics and all people interested in these matters. They show how to create some basic-circuits. Many electronic fenomena are left out. Here you see how to create a variating voltage to drive an electronic (detection) circuit or detect current when a transistor or tube is used as a current amplifier. There is one omission in the tube-circuit: you need a resistor from kathode to minus (earth) to really get a negative grid voltage, I mean more negative then ground level (0), sorry. This matter is on two other videos on my channel. Ohms law (U=IXR, voltage = amps x resistance) can be applied on the drawn circuits. Tags: variable voltage, voltage drop, voltage divider, amplification, triode, negative grid voltage, grounded emitter, frequency dependant amplification, bipolar transistor, bias voltage. Praktical application: temperature meter, light meter, audio amplifier, HF amplifier
Notice: The Opening Title should read “W.V. Surface Mine Board” instead of “U.S. Office of Surface Mining”

Charleston,
W. Va.”Eleven parents, community leaders and student activists were arrested today while sitting in at the office of West Virginia Governor Joe Mancin. Their sit-in was spurred by a recent decision by the State Mine Board to approve a second coal silo nearMarsh Fork Elementary School. Protesters were treating roughly and dragged through puddles of mud. About 40 protesters remain in the governor’s office. Marsh Fork Elementary located near Sundial, WV currently sits 225 feet from a coal silo. Residents say Governor Joe Manchin is shirking his responsibility for the health and safety of the students.
The coal silo operated by Massey Energy releases chemical-laden coal dust into the air which is poisoning the air that school kids have to breathe. Independent studies have found coal dust throughout the school. The school is also 400 yards downstream from a 385 foot tall seeping toxic coal waste sludge dam with a nearly 3 billion gallon capacity, over 20 times the volume of the Buffalo Creek sludge dam disaster that killed 125 people in 1972. A 1,849-acre mountaintop removal mine surrounds the sludge dam and much of the nearby area.
“Governor Mancin seems to believe that all he has to do is make promises while the children who attend Marsh Fork continue to breathe in coal dust,” says Bill Price of
Charleston, WV. “We are not interested in promises. We want a new school for these kids so that they do not have to breathe in polluted air while they are trying to learn.”
“This is exciting that students and community members have joined together to demand a safer school for the kids who attend Marsh Folk Elementary,” says Sarah Kidder, a student at Glenville State College and a key protest organizer. “These kids should not have to endanger their lives simply by going to school and having to breathe in air polluted by coal dust.”
Massey has been attempting to build a second coal silo near the school, but the WV Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) in 2005 rejected Massey’s permit request for the second silo. On Tuesday, March 13, the state Surface Mine Board overturned the DEP’s order that blocked the silo.
“The situation at Marsh Fork is an embarrassment to West Virginia,” said Lindsey Warf of
Bluefield, WV. “People from other states can’t believe this is happening in the
US.”
Contrary to Massey’s public claim that the silo would reduce coal dust, their 2005 air quality permit application associated with the second silo’s operation predicts an increase in coal dust emissions by three and a half tons of dust per year.
Girl, 11, Tasered After Punching Cop

An altercation at a Florida elementary school ended with an 11-year-old girl being tasered and sent to the hospital on Thursday.
It happened at Moss Park Elementary in Orange County.
Authorities said the altercation happened during the school’s morning announcements and both the student and the officer were injured.
The deputy shocked the student with the Taser gun after the student allegedly punched her in the face.
The Orange County Sheriff’s Office said the student who was shocked was trying to push another student into oncoming traffic.
Other students went to teachers to report the incident.
“There should be guidance counselors. The principal should have been there to calm the child down instead of having an officer do it,” parent Cherley Constant said.
The Orange County Sheriff’s Office said there were a few teachers around.
They said the 11-year-old shoved a desk and chair, started spitting at the teachers and refused to go to the principal’s office.
“She was crying. She had tears coming down her face. She was bright red,” student Taliesin Ploeg said of the girl who got shocked with a Taser gun.
The teachers called in the campus resource officer, but she said she was punched in the nose by the student.
That’s when she used her Taser gun.
“I think they should be able to restrain the child without having to Taser the child, especially at such a young age,” parent Brenda Aloiau said.
The Orange County Sheriff’s Office demonstrated on a towel what it’s like to be shocked with a Taser gun, and it said a Taser gun can be used on a child if he or she poses a threat, but it also depends on his or her size.
“The policy reads that, yes, you can Tase a student, if they are aggressive and also if they’re fighting the officer. In this case, this student, it is my understanding she is approximately 5-foot-5″, which is my height, and she is approximately 160 to 170 pounds, so this is a pretty big student,” one official said.
“I think there’s a lack of discipline in the schools, and unfortunately, it’s led to a lot of problems in the public schools. Teachers aren’t allowed to touch children, but when you have a situation like this, what do you do’” parent Sarah Miller said.
School officials are not commenting on the incident.
“They didn’t say anything. I tried to find out, but nobody was talking,” one parent said.
Parents received a letter Thursday calling the use of the Taser gun a “last resort action that was taken by the school resource officer.”
The 11-year-old had to have the prongs from the Taser removed at the hospital, and she is going to be arrested and charged with battery on a law enforcement officer, disrupting a school function and resisting with violence.
