Clumpy and Kloumpios arrived and were happy to get some warm weather.  Saturday they helped rake leaves (yes it's fall in Tampa) then went to the Florida State Fair.  They seemed most interested in some of the new tractors, muttering something about the closed cab would be a more comfortable ride, but they also took advantage of the opportunity for Fair food.  I couldn't believe how much deep fried food they ate - Snickers, butter, burgers, ..., you name it.  Yesterday they didn't feel good so just sat around in the sun most of the day.     

This week I'm going to pick their brains on how to improve our ECN implementation process.  If they can't contribute much I'll send them back to the fair as sort of a winter vacation.

Subject: [TN] NTC Friday Element Quiz - The Answer

Hi folks - Here is the Friday Element Quiz Answer:

The Question:
This element has no biological role in humans. This element used to be one 

of the first element we encountered as a baby. This element was known to the Chaldeans. What element is being described?

The Answer:

The element is Silver (Ag)! Silver has been known to humans for several thousand years. The Chaldeans are credited with inventing the process of refining silver (cupellation)around 2500 BC. Silver nitrate solution eye drops were often put into newborn babies eyes to prevent blindness (first demonstrated by German obstetrician Dr. F. Crede in 1884). 


The winner of the weekly element quiz is Dick Krug, Spartan Complex Systems and he will get the services of Clumpy and Kloumpios for the week. The boys hopped on their tractors and were zooming off to Florida - they seemed very happy to get away from the snow and cold here in Iowa.

Also, on this second round of the Friday Element Quiz, there is the possibility that we may cover an element more than just once - the FEQAB imposed this rule to keep Doug a bit off balance.


So far Clumpy and Kloumpios have done the following:

Everyone have a safe week!
