All Time High

Lime. The total toimage of quicklime and hydrated lime sold and used in 1992 was 16.2 x 10 t. Captive lime accounted for 11% of this total, nearly the same percentage as captive limestone. Captive lime production decreased drastically since the 1970s, falling from 6.7 x 10 t in 1973 to 1.82 X 10 in 1992. Whereas commercial lime production was at an all time high in 1992, total lime (commercial lime plus captive lime) was 18% below that... 

New silver accounts for only a portion of the silver used ia the United States. Recycled silver makes up the difference. AvailabiUty of recycled silver depends on market price. As the market price iacreases, so does the flow of recycled silver (see Recycling, nonferrous metals). The New York price reached an all-time high of 1543/kg ( 48.00/troy oz) onjanuary 21, 1980, primarily as a result of speculation. The price fell to 347.30/kg ( 10.80/troy oz) four months later as the pressure of speculative activity ia the silver market lessened. Comprehensive reviews of the silver market are published yearly the New York prices between 1985 and 1988 were as follows (23). 

Sulfur consumption reached peak levels by the beginning of the 1990s. The apparent annual consumption of sulfur in all forms in the United States nearly reached 13.2 million metric tons by 1995. World sulfur production increased steadily from 53.6 million metric tons in 1984 to an all-time high of 60.1 million metric tons in 1989, declining to 54.6 million metric tons in 1995. 

The supply of bismuth metal, is dependent on the supply of the associated metals with which it is mined. Since the 1970s bismuth prices have ranged from less than 4.40/kg to over 44/kg because of supply and demand. The price reached an all time high of over 44/kg in May of 1974 and fell to an all time low of under 3.30/kg in the summer of 1982. Bismuth finished off 1990 at 6.17—6.39/kg (8). 

United States and the world (Figure 1), despite perceptions that it has been replaced by other sources. In 1997 production ofboth coal (23.2 quadrillion Btus, or about 4.6 billion barrels of oil) and natural gas (19.5 quadrillion Btus, or about 3.9 billion barrels of oil) on an energy equivalent basis exceeded U.S. domestic oil production (13.6 quadrillion Btus, equivalent to about 2.7 billion barrels, or 3.1 billion barrels of oil if natural gas liquids are included). Coal production in the United States nearly doubled from 1970 to 2000 (from about 600 million tons to about 1 billion tons produced annually). Meanwhile, petroleum consumption at 18.6 million barrels of oil per day is near the all-time high of 18.8 million barrels of oil per day in 1978. Net U.S. petroleum imports (8.9 million barrels of oil per day) in 1997 were worth 67 billion and exceeded U.S. petroleum production (8.3 million... 

What she meant is Hpnotiq, a blue, fruit-flavored, vodka-spiked Cognac beverage hatched like a Raelian baby in France nineteen months ago to compete with Remy Red and Alize s three Passions and to capitalize on the phenomenal recent success of Cognac beverages in the United States. Nine and a half million 9-liter cases of Cognac and its blends were sold last year—an all-time high. 

Du Pont gave Carothers a leave of absence, but Carothers misinterpreted their motives. They practically packed him in cotton, Julian Hill said later. He thought they were trying to ease him out. Of all things. This was about at the all time high in misinterpretation, I would think. When they gave him the health leave, he thought this was just the first step. ... 

Figure 1.2 The percentage of Americans who are obese has risen significantly in recent years and is at an all-time high, as demonstrated in this map from the year 2000. The rise in obesity is seen in males and females of all ages, including children. This increase in obesity has also been seen in all racial and ethnic groups. The increase in obesity is attributed to decreased exercise and manual labor, along with consumption of larger portions of high-calorie, high-fat foods.

The country then started its fourth five-year program in socialization of the national economy and, in particular, the development of heavy industries. Success in heavy industrial development contributed much to establishing the bases for the development of modern industries. On the other hand, modernization of agriculture through the formation of People s Communes was carried out extensively. Since mid-1968, in particular, China s economy has made marked progress, to reach an all-time high in 1979-and well in 1980. 

Despite a high and rapidly raising R D expenditure, the number of NCE approvals dropped from an all-time high of 51 in 1997 to an all-time low of 15 in 2005... 

As you formulate your resume, be sure to show the results you achieved at your last job—"during this time profits reached an all-time high"—that kind of thing. Your potential employer will be impressed by the fact that you have something to show for all your hard work. An economy of words is crucial as well. Use power words and phrases to succinctly highlight your accomplishments. 

The full impact that the well-publicized use of supplements by sports icons has had on young athletes worldwide is difficult to determine. A 2000 survey by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that 73% of 10-17 year olds surveyed cited a famous athlete as someone they looked up to or wanted to be like. And while 55% were aware of Mark McGwire s use of andro, only 5% reported ever having purchased a dietary supplement because of a famous athlete. Yet the fact remains that performance-enhancing supplement use is at an all-time high among America s youth. 

May 20. Sat. afternoon. I ve been working night and day in between. My morale, which had been dragging in the sand, reached an all time high when your 7-pg letter arrived. Thanx again for making me the best informed about Caltech. Naturally I pass on choice tidbits to my pals, and whenever the news gets out that Mills got a letter from Rene, well I m swamped with inquiries. 

It is immediately apparent from this assessment that situations can exist that would make alfalfa and corn production profitable. If the land is rented at much lower cost than indicated in Table 4.14 or is owned by the farmer with no outstanding debt, or the crops are grown on one or more family farms where resident labor is available, the economics can be quite different and favorable. Many scenarios can be envisaged that will improve the net return. The point is that what may appear to be uneconomic at first is subject to change when the details are analyzed and appropriate actions can be taken to improve profitability. The difficulty of accurately predicting market prices is another factor that complicates matters further. Indeed, it was only a few months after this analysis that the market price of com began to increase at a rapid rate and to reach an all-time high of over 5.00/bu, which effectively... 

Perhaps the increasing number of intermediates and/or transition states that have been proposed to explain the stereochemical outcome of enolate reactions can serve as a barometer of our attempts to analyze the situation. Currently we have set an all time high for the number of new mechanistic interpreta-... 

There is a decrease in the consumption of red meat in response to concern about health effects of fat and cholesterol — which are implicated in coronary heart disease, hypertension, cancer, and obesity. Parallel to this is the increase in the use of poultry and fish. The dollar value of poultry in 1984 was 15.4 billion, an increase of 37% from 1983. Seafood per capita consumption was 13.6 pounds in 1984, an all-time high. The use of surimi, a restructured fish product, is on the rise and could reach a billion pounds in 1990. A simulated form of crab legs using surimi technology is gaining adherents.

Treatment interventions for bipolar clients should be structured clearly and mapped out in a plan that delineates strategies for handling the problems associated with bipolar symptoms. Social work practitioners will often encounter resistance from clients with bipolar disorders, especially those experiencing a manic episode where energy, creativity, and feelings are at an all-time high. Regardless of the resistance, it is the practitioner s responsibility to help the client and family members formulate, implement, and monitor the interventions necessary to eliminate the bipolar symptoms. 

Table I reviews the industry performance in 1981. The value of shipments, after the all-time high in 1979, slumped badly in mid-1980. Early 1981 sales rose again to an all-time high for monthly sales but a steady decline occurred after March and continued into early 1982, after which there was stabilization at reduced volumes and reduced selling prices. Recovery began in mid-1982 followed by a 15% increase in sales in 1983 and a 6.5% increase in 1984.
