Subject: [TN] Element Quiz Question

The Question:
This element was known to ancient civilizations (at least 5500 BC). A pure
bar of this element will "cry" when bent due to the twinning of its crystal
structure. One of the early Latin words for this element was "plumbum
candidum". A major commercial application for a compound containing this
element is the stabilization of PVC plastics.The International Maritime
Organization has a worldwide ban of a compound containing this element.
Which element is being described?

- I still have vinyl and a turntable, though 78s were a bit before my time. 
The
guys get here just in time for our summer plant shutdown, so their workload
will be minimal.  We all deserve a break, right? Happy 4th of July,
everyone!

Week 63 Matthias Mansfeld, Mansfeld Elektronik PCB Design and Assembly
-I don't know what they'll do at the both Toms, but if they can use
Internet, then the two Toms arrange their time schedule and I'll give the
boys access with VPN to my CAD software and they can do some layout stuff
at night. Cadstar or Altium, whatever they prefer...

Week 63 Tom Carroll, Boeing
- Wow a three way tie is awesome. I would ask that Clumpy and Kloumpios
arrive on Tuesday to help celebrate my daughter's 21st birthday and then
come along as we attend Part 1 and 2 of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child
on Broadway on Wednesday. I know the boys will be able to explain some of
the secrets behind Harry's powers, I just hope they will share it with my
daughter. Should be a good time for all.
