Hi folks - Here is the Element Quiz Answer:
The Question:
This element burns with a blue flame. It is a poor conductor of
electricity. Significant quantities of this element are recovered from
copper electrolytic refining anode "slime". The word "garlic". What element
is being described?
The Answer:
The element is Tellurium (Te)! The name tellurium is derived from the Latin
word "tellus" which mean "earth". Tellurium has no biological role but in
low level doses causes humans to have bad body order and bad breath. In
1884, volunteers were given 0.5 micrograms of TeO2 orally and within an
hour they had "garlic" breath that lasted for 30 hours. Doses of 15 mg
caused garlic breath for 8 months!
The winner of the weekly element quiz is Leland Woodall, CSTech Inc and he

-Once the boys get here, I think our Sea World Tower needs some
modifications before the 4th of July fireworks start.

- The boys were waiting for me when I arrived at 5:45, this morning. They
had picked the lock and the coffee was ready when I walked into the
building! During the work-days, I'll have them sorting the boxes in the
stock-room, and then have them perform a quick-count on the inventory.
When they are done with that, they'll clean the solder-flux splash from the
objective lenses of the microscope, and maybe get some of the dust cleaned
from the internal lenses. Evenings, I can have them cook dinners, giving
my wife a rest, and then (after they've finished cleaning up), they can go
down to the basement workshop and build up the next group of ShortSniffer
cables. They have more energy and much better work ethics than my kids
ever did . . .

Everyone have a safe week.
