Hi folks - Here is the Friday Element Quiz Question:

The Question:
This element was thought to be another allotropic form of carbon at one 
time. Most of this element is obtained as a by-product of nickel refining 
from Canadian nickel in Ontario - but less than 100 kilograms are produced 
each year.  The word "smell". What is the element is being described?

Week 5 Tom Carroll, Boeing Defense, Space and Security
- The boys arrived and immediately ate pizza and drank 2 bottles of my 
best wine. Then they got very excited and said something about hidden 
treasure at the southern tip of Italy and before I knew it they were on 
their tractor singing and headed south. I didn't even get a chance to ask 
them if they could help with my current risk reduction task. Well they got 
back last night and started to tell me some fantastic stories about a 
place called the Regional Natural Park Costa Otranto-Santa Maria di Leuca 
e Bosco di Tricase. This is a regional park of Puglia, Italy and of 
particular importance is the "hidden" fauna, delicate ecosystem that 
invites many species of bats and rare appearances of aquatic fauna in dark 

environments of the caves, some partially submerged, in the Park. The boys 

told me that some of their relatives actually settled in this area many 
centuries ago and they went to visit them. They also told me about the 
area around the park. There are fortified farms all over the countryside 
with beautiful noble villas that tower above the farms and overlook the 
area. This is a strategic place and has always been a crossroad for past 
civilizations. I most go visit this place.  Anyway the boys are now rested 

and ready for their next adventure. So much for helping me but I was very 
glad to see them and have some company.
