It'll be good to see the boys again. 



Lots to do in the vineyard so the work load will help them stay out of trouble. 



That and the fact that the Abbot has locked the wine cellar in anticipation of their visit . . .

Subject: [TN] Element Quiz Answer



Hi folks - Here is the Element Quiz Question



The Question:

This element is one of the first metals used by humans. Approximately 79 million tons of this element exist in the oceans but no one has figured out an economical method of extraction. Ernest Rutherford used this element to perform a now very classic experiment. What element is being described?



The Answer:

The element is Gold (Au)! Approximately 1 milligram of gold is in one ton of seawater so if you can figure out an economical way to exact it, you could quit your job. Its elemental abbreviation, Au, comes from the Latin word "aurum" which means "shining dawn". The purity of gold is measured in "carats" where one carat is equal to one part in 24. Pure gold is rated as

24 carats but is too soft to be of use in jewelry, 18 carats is typically used instead. E. Rutherford used gold foil to demonstrate atomic structure and alpha particles.





The winner of the weekly element quiz is Greg Munie, IPC and he will get the services of Clumpy and Kloumpios for the week.



The Element Quiz Arbitration Board (EQAB)reviewed Doug's submission of "Bonkium" and unfortunately disqualified his answer (yes, we know everyone is stunned by the result). The seven members of the EQAB could find no scientific records stating that Neanderthal man was ever present in North America thus invalidating Doug's West Butte Montana information. The EQAB is still researching to see if there is indeed a deposit of "Bonkium" under Doug's desk.



So far Clumpy and Kloumpios have done the following:

Week 50 Greg Munie, IPC

- I am honored to have the guys services again. Bud break is just starting in the vineyard so it's a great time for them to finish pruning and do some trellis repair. Tell them to meet me at the Lisle station. Or just "John Deere" it to the vineyard if they want. The monks will put them up in the guest house. And I'll keep 'em busy and (hopefully) out of trouble.



Week 51 Karen Tellefsen, Alpha

- There is a bamboo patch in the back of my yard that was damaged by the snow this winter, I would be grateful if the boys would clear the fallen stalks.  I hope they brought their rubber hip boots, that part of the yard is very muddy and it's raining today.



Week 52 Greg Munie, IPC

- assisted with ????





Everyone have a safe week.
