Evil,

This presentation will highlight some NDT applications whereby NDT can be transformed from a "necessary evil" into a situation that is "of beneficial value" to the user. From an activity that has to be done because it is required by the code, to a solution to a problem that can improve safety, enhance quality and save money. 

In this way NDT can turn from a necessary evil, which it is too often still regarded to be, into a benefit. 

Carbon disulphide is a volatile, evil-smelling liquid, although if carefully purified, the unpleasant smell is removed, as it is due to impurity. The vapour is inflammable and can form explosive mixtures in air ... 

The evil>smelling residue in the reaction flask is best removed by the cautious addition of concentrated nitric acid. 

Dissolve (or suspend) 0-25 g. of the acid in 5 ml. of warm water, add a drop or two of phenolphthalein indicator and neutralise carefully with ca. N sodium hydroxide solution. Then add 2-3 drops of ca. O lN hydrochloric acid to ensure that the solution is almost neutral (pale pink colour). (Under alkaline conditions the reagent tends to decompose to produce the evil-smelling benzyl mercaptan.) If the sodium salt is available, dissolve 0-25 g. in 5 ml. of water, and add 2 drops of ca. 0 -hydrochloric acid. Introduce a solution of 1 g. of S-benzyl-iso-thiuro-nium chloride in 5 ml. of water, and cool in ice until precipitation is Dibasic and tribasic acids will require 0-01 and 0-015 mol respectively. 

Kobald, from the German, goblin or evil spirit, cobalos, Greek, mine) Brandt discovered cobalt in about 1735. 

Evil chemist "Uh, yes, this is Fake Name calling for Fake Company Name and I need to order some items or possibly open an account."... 

Evil "No. we used to have an account with Rival Scientific Company but they couldn t seem to get our orders on time."... 

Evil "Fake Company Name, at Address Of A Friend s House."... 

Drying isn t absolutely necessary, but it is a good bet that if a recipe stresses its use then an evil underground chemist will do so. 

With all of that MD-P2P and/or P2P lying around, there s a good possibility that an evil underground chemist might turn it into final product. Dear God The thought of it just sickens Strike But what can ya do And what again were those final products Why it s these suckers right below ... 

The last thing to remember is that the more HBr one packs into that acetic acid, the greater and quicker the yield will be. 70% HBr is still the paragon and should be strived for always. So with the proper HBr solution in hand the evil chemist can proceed with the conversion of safrole. 

Pernod is a transparent yellow fluid consisting of water, alcohol and Evil Esters. The Evil Esters dissolve in strong water-alcohol solutions but precipitate out as tiny whitish droplets if the solution is diluted with more water. It is observed that Pernod turns cloudy at 60 wt% water at 0°C, at 70 wt% water at 20°C, and at 85 wt% water at 40°C. Using axes of T and concentration of water in wt%, sketch an approximate phase diagram (Fig. A1.3) for the Pernod-water system, indicating the single-phase and two-phase fields. 

Conventional alloy seleetion, eoating speeifieation and failure investigation skills will always be required, as will inspeetion serviees to eonfirm the eondition of the plant. However, the phenomenon labeled eorrosion should no longer be regarded as a neeessary evil as it is only a problem when out of eontrol. The eleetroehemieal behavior eharaeterizing eorrosion is also the means by whieh on-line plant health management ean be aehieved. 

The true rule, in determining to embrace, or reject any thing, is not whether it have any evil in it but whether it have more of evil, than of good. There are few things wholly evil, or wholly good. Almost every thing. .. is an inseparable compound of the two so that our best judgment of the preponderance between them is continually demanded. 

A ver.v small ainouiu disliUed at 40-, and on aualvsi wa-i found to crintairi both sulphur and nitrogen. IL is an evil-smelling compound, and is probably related to the alkaloid cheiranihin. 

Vinyl sulphide, CH = CH S, has been identified in the oil of Allium ursinum. It is an evil-smelling liquid of specific gravity 0 912. It boils at 101°.

The steam-power systems in Trevithick s youth were massive hut lightly loaded low-pressure engines. This technology was controlled by Boulton Watt, whose business acumen had extended patents far beyond their normal expiration dates. The royalties typically took one-third of the savings in fuel over the Newcomen atmospheric engine. Another necessary evil was the expense of fuel, as coal was not locally mined. Cornish engineers worked incessantly to design and invent their way past these limitations. 

Until recently, middle and corporate level management have ignored the impact of the maintenance operation on product quality, production costs and more importantly on bottom-line profit. The general opinion has been Maintenance is a necessary evil or Nothing can be done to improve maintenance costs . Perhaps these were true statements ten or twenty years ago. 

Suenos also serves a Cosmolito—a Mexican cosmopolitan. It brought back to mind the black-haired Marlene Dietrich as Tanya in Touch of Evil and a framed letter hanging in Ms. Dietrich s apartment on Park Avenue, which I had the opportunity to view when Sotheby s helped her son, Michael Riva, sell its contents. 

The cocktail appears in the book and is named for Vesper Lynd, the double agent who is Bond s lady interest until her suicide over split allegiances to the free world and the evil empire of the Soviet Union. Bond dedicates the drink to the violet hour, a beautiful evocation of the ethos of the cocktail. Nice, Sir James.
