Ho, ho!  I was waiting on your question, Dave.

Now I have two guys to assist with four screen printer moves this week.  They're gonna love helping me perform our quality verifications, and they get to try their hand with cross section work again.

Thanks for the additional manpower (or it that gnome power)?

Leland

Subject: [TN] NTC Friday Element Quiz Answer

Hi folks - Here is the Friday Element Quiz Answer:

The Question:
Accurate values for this element's properties are minimal because in pure form it will ignite when exposed to air, water, ammonia, oxygen and the halogens. This element does not exist in a pure state on earth, only as a compound or in an ore. A compound of this element makes an excellent bleaching agent that can be stored in paper packages. What is the element is being described?

The Answer:
The element is Barium (Ba)! The name barium is derived from the Latin "barys" which means "heavy". Getting accurate properties data for barium is difficult due to its extreme reactivity. Alchemists knew about barium minerals in the early Middle Ages. Smooth, pebble-like stones from Balogna Italy would continue to "glow" after being exposed to a light source.
These became known as "Balogna stones" and were very popular with witches and alchemists. The stones were BaSO4 - barium sulfide - which is a major source of barium metal today.


The winner of the weekly element quiz is Leland Woodall, CSTech Inc. and he will get the services of Clumpy and Kloumpios for the week. The boys are looking forward to going back to that portion of the US and not have to be kayak haulers.


So far Clumpy and Kloumpios have done the following:

- 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
-I need them to help me start-up a new (used) Vitronics/Soltec wave machine we recently got here. It's gonna' be fun (if that's what you want to call it), we have to fill the Vitronics with a tin wash so we can get the wave formers and nozzles out, clean everything up, and then empty the pot. Then we've got to empty the pot in the old Electrovert machine that we have and have that solder ready for the Vitronics. Then we'll play musical wave machines by moving the Electrovert and placing the Vitronics where it was sitting, then we'll fill the Vitronics again.

Week 17 Phil Kinner, PVA
