Hi folks - here is the Quiz: The Question: This element was identified independently by French and English astronomers during the 1868 solar eclipse but was not identified on Earth until 1895. This element is concentrated in large quantities under the American Great Plains, available for extraction as a byproduct of natural gas. What element is being described? The Answer: The element is Helium (He)! Helium is named for the Greek Titan of the Sun, Helios. After an oil drilling operation in 1903 in Dexter, Kansas produced a gas geyser that would not burn, Kansas state geologist Erasmus Haworth collected samples of the escaping gas and took them back to the University of Kansas at Lawrence where, with the help of chemists Hamilton Cady and David McFarland, he discovered that the gas consisted of, by volume, 72% nitrogen, 15% methane (a combustible percentage only with sufficient oxygen), 1% hydrogen, and 12% an unidentifiable gas.[16][53] With further analysis, Cady and McFarland discovered that 1.84% of the gas sample was helium. One industrial application for helium is leak detection. Because helium diffuses through solids three times faster than air, it is used as a tracer gas to detect leaks in high-vacuum equipment (such as cryogenic tanks) and high-pressure containers The winner of the quiz is Eray Canli and will get the services of Clumpy & Kloumpios for the week.

We have lots of exciting work (yeah, right) ahead to assure all our documents are in order. If they can trudge through this misery, I'll take them for an ale or six at Buffalo Wild Wings, and we can all root for the Carolina Hurricanes during the NHL playoffs. Week 92 David Bealer - assisted with ???? Week 93 Leland Woodall - assisted with ???? Week 94 Eray Canli - assisted with ???? I hope everyone has a awesome week!
