>> Here is the Element Quiz Question:

>> The Question:

>> Alchemists in the Middle Ages knew about minerals that contained this

>> element - when exposed to sunlight, the minerals would glow making them

>> attractive for use by witches and alchemists. This element produces a green

>> color in fireworks, signal flares and tracer rounds. This element is used

>> as a radiocontrast agent for Xray imaging as far back as 1908. This element

>> The Answer:

>> The element is Barium (Ba). In the Middle Ages, small white stones found

>> near Bologna Italy would continue to "glow" after being exposed to

>> sunlight. These stones were barium sulfate which is a major source of

>> barium metal. Barium sulfate is also used as a radiocontrast agent in X-ray

>> -    As I mentioned, I submitted the answer in conjunction with a co-worker

>> that will be able to use one of the guys, (not sure who will do what just

>> yet) to help him move from his office here in Phoenix, to Winserlocks CT.

>> for a bit. For me, I'll have whichever one he doesn't pick, help me out

>> with some things on a PCB update that has a lot of stuff to fix. I may also

>> have him work on getting a couple of other boards ready for review.

>> Regardless, they are going to be busy this week, I hope they don't mind
