For Future reference:
Niobium is a chemical element with symbol Nb and atomic number 41. A rare, soft, grey, ductile transition metal, niobium is found in the minerals pyrochlore (the main source for niobium) and columbite. Niobium has similar physical and chemical properties to another element, tantalum, and the two are therefore difficult to distinguish. The German chemist Heinrich Rose determined in 1846 that tantalum ores contain a second element, which he named niobium, after Niobe from Greek mythology. It was not until the early 20th century that niobium was first used commercially. Brazil is the leading producer of niobium and ferroniobium, an alloy of niobium and iron. Niobium is used mostly in alloys, the largest part in special steel such as that used in gas pipelines. Although alloys contain only a maximum of 0.1%, that small percentage improves the strength of the steel. The temperature stability of niobium-containing superalloys is important for its use in jet engines and rocket engines. Niobium is used in various superconducting materials. These superconducting alloys, also containing titanium and tin, are widely used in MRI scanners. Other applications of niobium include its use in welding, nuclear industries, electronics, optics, numismatics and jewellery. In the last two applications, niobium's low toxicity and ability to be coloured by anodisation are particular advantages.

Werner von Trapp dies!

Werner von Trapp, a member of the family made famous by the legendary Hollywood film The Sound of Music, has died aged 91 in the US.
The film was loosely based on a 1949 book by Mr von Trapp's stepmother Maria and changes some details. He was depicted by the character named Kurt.

Mr von Trapp died on Thursday at his home in Waitsfield, Vermont.

The Sound of Music opened on Broadway in 1959. The Julie Andrews film version in 1965 won five Oscars.

6 Degrees of Casey Serin UPDATE: Thanks to the looser W-2 and jury duty, it looks like the 6 Degrees voting process will be further delayed until I have a chance to get around to it. Feel free to continue submitting entries while you're waiting.


For reasons that may seem politically incorrect I never bothered much with "Spanish" (as presented in SoCal Montessori versions of pre-school - and would prefer not to find my mouth washed out with Irish Spring again), so I don't have a clue what she's saying (other than latin roots of the written word), but this Dadanoia chick is hot.
A translation would be SWEET.......
