 Subject: [TN] Element Quiz Question
   
Here is the Element Quiz Question:

The Question:
This element has very few commercial uses since it is very expensive to
produce. There is a higher concentration of this element at the North Pole
than the South Pole due to convective mixing. The liquid state of this
element has been used to construct electromagnetic calorimeters. This
element is also the basis for a laser in nuclear fusion energy research. Which
element is being described?


The winner of the quiz will get the services of Clumpy and Kloumpios for
the week.

Week 19 Tom Carroll, Boeing
- Love those firewalls. The boys will help review some environmental
testing for explosive atmosphere, Sand & Dust, Humidity and Salt Fog at a
local supplier. When they get bored with that they can help patch the roof
over my head that might have a developed a leak during the winter. After
that they can relax and go fishing in the bay or ocean near my house.

Week 20 Robert Kondner
- assisted with ????

Week 21 Tom Brendlinger, ClearMotion Inc.
- Up here at ClearMotion, I've got a board to design... but our recruiter
wants us looking through resumes instead. I think the boys can do that for
a while, and when they're done with that, they can start cutting out molds
for my upcoming cedar strip canoe.

Week 22 Carl Van Wormer, Cipher Engineering LCC
- After feeding them all weekend, I put the boys to work soldering the
battery leads (Pb-Free, of course) onto ShortSniffer boards.  They were so
efficient with those little fingers twisting the wire ends, they got the
next 6-months production done in 4.5 hours!  I gave our minimum wage
technician a pink slip, telling her to re-apply in September.

They had big smiles on their faces as I put them on a plane to Disney
World, giving them each 3 all-day passes (after warning them to stay away
from Snow White).  They should be well rested for the next Element Quiz
winner.

Week 23 ????
- assisted with ????


I hope everyone has a awesome week!
