Steve,

Congrats, do the boys know your new address?

I'll make sure they leave early tonight. It was nice to have them around again, I needed help cleaning up my backyard, getting ready for a barbeque this weekend.

Regards,
Tom

Subject: [TN] NTC Friday Element Quiz Answer

Hi folks - Here is the Friday Element Quiz Answer:

The Question:
This element was used by the Egyptians in glass making.  A compound of this element is flammable and toxic if inhaled. It is not found in its free metallic state on Earth. This element is expelled from the body by the kidneys because of the vitamin B12. The word "goblin". What is the element is being described?

The Answer:
The element is Cobalt (Co)! The name cobalt was derived from the German word "kobolds". German miners had mistaken cobalt ores for copper ores and when they had difficulties extracting copper, they blamed the issue on mountain gnomes (kobalds or goblins") who had placed an evil spell on the ore to prevent the removal of the copper. The Egyptians used cobalt ores for producing highly prized deep blue glass. Cobalt chloride (CoCl2) is used in the manufacture of vitamin B12. The human body removes excess cobalt thru the kidneys. Cobaltous nitrate is both flammable and toxic when inhaled.


The winner of the weekly element quiz is Steve Gregory and he will get the services of Clumpy and Kloumpios for the week. Maybe they can unpack your moving boxes!


The Friday Element Quiz Arbitration Board (FEQAB) reviewed Doug's submission and after significant research disqualified his Hallucinium response. The FEQAB was deeply insulted when Doug completely ignored the gnome heritage connection to Cobalt but understands that Doug may have had tried one of the new Mountain Dew Kickstart products which would explain why he submitted a fuzzy, blurry answer.


So far Clumpy and Kloumpios have done the following:

Past Quiz winners/tasks:

Week 11 Keith Calhoun, Sopark Corp

Week 12 Matthias Mansfeld, Mansfeld-Elektronik
- They can really help me with my CAD library (big pile of datasheets on my desk, new stuff for these layouts). I'd give them a Cadstar crash course. If the library work is done or if they need a break, they can have 

much fun with our two cats. Later they could visit Munich.

Week 13 Leland Woodall, CSTech Inc.
- assisted with performing cross sections for the team this week.  If they 

finish early, I'm going to let them spend a couple of days fishing at the coast after our three day rain.

Week 14 Brian Ellis
- The boys are taking a red-eye flight back to you, eta 04:35 tomorrow morning. They expect you to meet them at the airport as they have a truck-load of Cypriot delicacies, including a bottle of zivania for Doug to turn his Mountain Dew into Mountain firewater, ideal for cleaning PCBs. 

My weather station is well calibrated, now.

Week 15 Tom Carroll, Boeing Defense, Space and Security
- Tell the boys to be prepared for helping do FOD walks at one of my suppliers. I bet when the employees at this supplier see these 2 guys on the FOD walk it will get their attention and help raise awareness of the importance of preventing FOD.

Week 16 Steve Gregory
- assisted with ????


Everyone have a safe week!
