      Utility companies can use data analytics to identify energy consumption and energy saving to manage power outages, figure out peak times and to set energy pricing. Oil & Gas firms can use data science to help drive refinery, distribution processes, and adjust to market demands in real time.

      In other words, prescriptive analytics leverage predictive analytics in energy management with business rules, organizational models, comparisons, and optimization goals to enhance and improve facilities management. Ultimately, prescriptive analytics prescribe what your team needs to do to achieve your goals
      9 Energy Data Tools You Can Use

      [1] Sample these sweet energy unit calculators.
      [2] Monitor gas prices.
      [3]Find a place to refuel and recharge.
      [4] Keep an eye on heating costs this winter.
      [5] Estimate energy use.
      [6] Size up solar energy systems
      [7] Map wind potential.
      [8] Track disruptive weather.
      How do you use it? The Netflix example spans both predictive and prescriptive analytics. Prescriptive analytics allows business analysts to parse through data and determine what customers are most likely to buy (or, in this particular example, watch) and then timely make those recommendations.


      There are five major renewable energy sources

      [1] Solar energy from the sun.
      [2] Geothermal energy from heat inside the earth.
      [3] Wind energy
      [4] Biomass from plants. [5] Hydropower from flowing water.

      The Line Saudi Arabia-A Zero Carbon Future city

       Plans for a futuristic megacity in the shape of a 170km skyscraper wall are being likened to something out of a dystopian sci-fi movie.



      Saudi Arabia has unveiled plans for a futuristic, car-free megacity in the shape of a 200-metre wide, 500-metre high mirrored skyscraper wall that will span 170 kilometres of desert.

      Dubbed “The Line”, the proposed “zero carbon” city – it is claimed – will eventually accommodate nine million residents by 2045, divided into three-dimensional, “five-minute walk neighbourhoods” powered by artificial intelligence.

      And subterranean levels will connect four regions with a maximum 20-minute commute.

      Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman revealed concept designs for The Line on Monday, which allegedly will “run on 100 per cent renewable energy and prioritise people’s health and wellbeing over transportation and infrastructure” by condensing the footprint of a traditional city into just 34 square kilometres.

      The Neom project is backed by $500 billion from the Saudi government and the Saudi Arabian Public investment Fund (PIF) -- a sovereign wealth fund chaired by bin Salman -- as well as local and international investors.

      Never Have I Ever- A Comedy Drama Television Series

       Never Have I Ever is an American coming-of-age comedy-drama television series starring Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, created by Mindy Kaling and Lang Fisher. Though the show takes place in the area of San Fernando Valley, the comedy is loosely based on Kaling's childhood experiences in the Boston area.



      Never Have I Ever is an American comedy-drama series focusing on the life of an Indian-American teen who seeks popularity at her high school. It was released on April 27, 2020. July 1, 2020, it was announced that Netflix renewed the series for a second season. It was released on July 15, 2021.
      Never Have I Ever 's fresh take on the coming-of-age comedy is hilariously honest, sweetly smart, and likely to have viewers falling head over heels for charming newcomer Maitreyi Ramakrishnan.
      As of right now, Netflix has given the series an age rating of TV-14, which, according to Netflix's maturity ratings, would involve some parental guidance for those 14 and under.
      It premiered on Netflix on April 27, 2020, and is about an Indian-American high school student dealing with the sudden death of her father.
      “It is just been renewed for a fourth and final season, which we are absolutely thrilled about,” co-creators Mindy Kaling and Lang Fisher shared in a statement in March 2022. "We can't wait to reveal all the steamy romance and hilarious adventures we have in store for you.
      Although Devi doesn't agree with her mother's decision to uproot their lives and move to India, she's finally making peace and deciding to take full advantage of the time she has left in Los Angeles.
      Devi accidentally starts a rumor about Aneesa in 'Never Have I Ever' In her fury about Ben and Aneesa, Devi finds herself yelling about Aneesa to a member of the cross country team. Not thinking anything of her words, Devi flippantly comments that Aneesa is anorexic.
      However, Devi's success at secretly dating two boys behind their backs is (thankfully) short-lived, as both Ben and Paxton quickly find out in episode 2 that Devi is in fact cheating on both of them.

      Paul Sorvino-An American Actor

       The elder Mr. Sorvino, a robe-factory foreman, was born in Naples, Italy, and emigrated to New York with his parents in 1907. Paul grew up in the Bensonhurst section of Brooklyn and attended Lafayette High School.

      US actor Paul Sorvino, best known for playing Paulie Cicero in the 1990 mobster classic Goodfellas, has died at age 83.

      Over the course of a film and TV career that began in 1970, the Tony Award nominated actor was best known for his portrayals of policemen and gangsters.

      In a statement following his death, his wife Dee Dee Sorvino said that "there will never be another Paul Sorvino"

      Born in Brooklyn in 1939, Sorvino - whose mother was a piano teacher - began his career in show business with the musical "Bajour" in 1964.

      Four years later, he appeared in his first film: Carl Reiner's 1970 black comedy "Where's Poppa?".

      In the ensuing decades, Sorvino, an imposing figure who stood at 6"4 (1.93m), became a fixture of US cinema, appearing alongside Al Pacino in 1971's "The Panic in Needle Park" and the recently deceased James Caan in 1974's "the Gambler"

      His most iconic role came in 1990 in Martin Scorcese's "Goodfellas", in which he played Paul Cicero, an underworld boss. The character was inspired by a real-life Brooklyn-based mobster Paul Vario.
