Hi Phil - the spelling in the reference book is Balogna so if we can prove 
that is an error, you too will get a Medal of Honor and I'll have a second 
email to the author with an error correction.

Ok, I have to question the Balogna smooth pebbles reference.....is it not 
Bologna Italy?   I think I smell sliced baloney on the skewer too!

Hi Denny - You are awarded the first Friday Element Quiz Round Two "I 
found the first reference book error" Medal of Honor. The reference book 
has BaSO4 correctly listed as sulfate except for in the Balogna discussion

section where it states "sulfide". I will contact the reference book 
author and let him know of the "oops". During the first round, the TechNet

community found 5 errors in the reference book.

Which chemist will skewer the metallurgist first?  That's barium sulfate.
BaSO4 - barium sulfide

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:

Past Quiz winners/tasks:
Week 1 Dick Krug,  Spartan Complex Systems Week 2 Laura Turbini, IRC Week 
3 James Head, Crowcon Detection Instruments Limited Week 3 Pat Goodyear, 
PGE Week 4 Joe Russeau, Precision Analysts Laboratory Week 5 Tom Carroll, 
Boeing Defense, Space and Security Week 6 Steve Gregory Week 7 Phil 
Kinner, PVA Week 8 Brian Ellis Week 9 James Head, Crowcon Detection 
Instruments Limited Week 10 Leland Woodall, CSTech Inc.
Week 11 Keith Calhoun, Sopark Corp
Week 12 Matthias Mansfeld, Mansfeld-Elektronik Week 13 Leland Woodall, 
CSTech Inc.
Week 14 Brian Ellis

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
-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
- assisted with ????

Week 18 Ian Braddock, MBDA Systems
- assisted with ????

Week 19 Leland Woodall, CSTech Inc.
- assisted with ????


Everyone have a safe week!
