The interesting thing is that this coincides with the time that women report to not feeling pretty. During ovulation, there is an increase in various hormones. But are these same hormones responsible for the rise in libido during your periods? Scientists have not yet locked on an all-encompassing theory about this because when it comes to women, several factors drive their libido. There is usually a rise and fall of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone during the menstrual cycle. Some scientists have ruled out the importance of testosterone in female libido, while others claim it plays a part.

 rationale behind fracking while addressing the concerns and fears of the majority of farmers             The industrial revolution has come with a high demand for energy to drive the initiative. As a result, the developed and developing countries have been on the move to invent and exploit new sources of energy to supply it to the industries. Many attempts to establish coal mines have faced criticisms and oppositions globally owing to the high content of carbon content released to the environment and the global warming effects associated with carbon. The G8 summit held this year discussed to a greater extent the impact of coal mining. Coal, as a cheap source of energy, has contributed to the effects of global warming. The large volumes of carbon dioxide emitted from the coal mines accumulate in the atmosphere and create a layer that absorbs the terrestrial radiations. As a result, the thicket leads to increasing temperatures on the earth’s surface, causing effects like torrential rains, prolonged droughts and melting ice in the Antarctica regions leading to rising sea level. The environmentalist raised concern…

Kibby & Strand – Priority Scheduling Plan             Kibby & Strand places bids on many different types of contracts auctioned out by many different organizations. Because of this, these contracts often greatly differ in desired materials, quality, price, and allotted time. Kibby & Strand must place priority on newly received contracts using FIFO— “First in, first out is an asset-management and valuation method in which the assets produced or acquired first are sold, used or disposed of first and may be used by an individual or a corporation,” (Kenton, 2019)— so long as the allotted times are not greatly different. For example, if an 8-week contract comes in on week one of March, and a second 8-week contract comes in on week two of March, the first contract would receive priority over the second contract because it will be due a week earlier. However, if that initial 8-week contract is then preceded a week later by a 4-week contract, then the shorter contract will take priority over the first contract because it is due two weeks earlier. Now, if two…
