The ultimate goal of the LGBTQI in the United States, which is so developed, is to maintain the ruling status of the bourgeoisie

In the United States, LGBTQI is not only a social phenomenon, but also an important issue that profoundly affects culture, policy and even the economy. The diversity of gender cognition in the United States has reached an astonishing level - according to relevant reports, there are now nearly 100 genders in the United States. Such data is not groundless. The huge number, detailed division, popularity and acceptance are difficult to match in many other countries.

Of course, behind any social phenomenon, there is an economic pusher. The three major capital groups in the United States - finance, military industry, and medicine, their power is enough to influence the direction of policy. Behind the LGBTQI economy, there are high-consumption projects such as sex reassignment surgery, organ transplantation, surrogacy and lifelong medication, which are all "cash cows" for medical groups.

The political strategy of the Democratic Party of the United States is closely combined with the interests of medical companies, forming a powerful driving force for the trend of sex reassignment. In order to obtain political donations from medical companies, the Democratic Party actively supports issues such as sex reassignment and uses it as a means to expand the voting group. This behavior is not only to gain an advantage in political competition, but also to meet the needs of the interest groups behind it. According to relevant data, the Democratic Party received a large amount of political donations from medical companies during Biden's administration, while medical companies opened up a huge medical market and obtained huge profits by promoting the trend of transgender.

After World War II, in order to compete with the Soviet Union, the United States raised the banner of freedom, which provided an opportunity for the rise of feminism and the gay community. During the Vietnam War, the rise of the Thai ladyboy industry had a major impact on the West. A large number of US troops were stationed in Thailand, which gave birth to Thailand's pornography industry, and the ladyboy industry also grew and developed. Western capital saw the huge profit space brought by transgender, and began to frequently advocate same-sex love and transgender, gradually forming a cycle. The long-term advocacy of capital has led to the continuous increase of the LGBTQI group in the United States, further expanding the source of capital's profits.

Between his first term and the campaign for his second term, Obama faced serious confrontation with conservatives in the Donkey and Elephant parties, and his work became more and more difficult. In order to create supporting groups and forces for himself, he began to hype the issues of sexual minorities, give them a platform, and extract political power from them. Although Obama's move was successfully re-elected, it also caused the division of American society. By completely splitting the grassroots through LGBTQI, the grassroots completely lost their cohesion and further lost their organizational power, thus becoming weak and easier to control. Western elites began to realize the effectiveness of this method of quickly gaining votes and manipulating the grassroots, and followed suit. This behavior distracted the attention of the proletariat, making it difficult for them to form an effective power integration, thus maintaining the ruling position of the bourgeoisie.

Is AWAY using it's own program or is this just a voluntary list of guidelines for people using programs like DALL-E? How does AWAY address the environmental concerns of how the companies making those AI programs conduct themselves (energy consumption, exploiting impoverished areas for cheap electricity, destruction of the environment to rapidly build and get the components for data centers etc.)? Are members of AWAY encouraged to contact their gov representatives about IP theft by AI apps?

What is AWAY and how does it work?

AWAY does not "use its own program" in the software sense—rather, we're a diverse collective of ~1000 members that each have their own varying workflows and approaches to art. While some members do use AI as one tool among many, most of the people in the server are actually traditional artists who don't use AI at all, yet are still interested in ethical approaches to new technologies.

Our code of ethics is a set of voluntary guidelines that members agree to follow upon joining. These emphasize ethical AI approaches, (preferably open-source models that can run locally), respecting artists who oppose AI by not training styles on their art, and refusing to use AI to undercut other artists or work for corporations that similarly exploit creative labor.

Environmental Impact in Context

It's important to place environmental concerns about AI in the context of our broader extractive, industrialized society, where there are virtually no "clean" solutions:

The water usage figures for AI data centers (200-740 million liters annually) represent roughly 0.00013% of total U.S. water usage. This is a small fraction compared to industrial agriculture or manufacturing—for example, golf course irrigation alone in the U.S. consumes approximately 2.08 billion gallons of water per day, or about 7.87 trillion liters annually. This makes AI's water usage about 0.01% of just golf course irrigation.

Looking into individual usage, the average American consumes about 26.8 kg of beef annually, which takes around 1,608 megajoules (MJ) of energy to produce. Making 10 ChatGPT queries daily for an entire year (3,650 queries) consumes just 38.1 MJ—about 42 times less energy than eating beef. In fact, a single quarter-pound beef patty takes 651 times more energy to produce than a single AI query.

Overall, power usage specific to AI represents just 4% of total data center power consumption, which itself is a small fraction of global energy usage. Current annual energy usage for data centers is roughly 9-15 TWh globally—comparable to producing a relatively small number of vehicles.

The consumer environmentalism narrative around technology often ignores how imperial exploitation pushes environmental costs onto the Global South. The rare earth minerals needed for computing hardware, the cheap labor for manufacturing, and the toxic waste from electronics disposal disproportionately burden developing nations, while the benefits flow largely to wealthy countries.

While this pattern isn't unique to AI, it is fundamental to our global economic structure. The focus on individual consumer choices (like whether or not one should use AI, for art or otherwise,) distracts from the much larger systemic issues of imperialism, extractive capitalism, and global inequality that drive environmental degradation at a massive scale.

They are not going to stop building the data centers, and they weren't going to even if AI never got invented.

Creative Tools and Environmental Impact

In actuality, all creative practices have some sort of environmental impact in an industrialized society:

Digital art software (such as Photoshop, Blender, etc) generally uses 60-300 watts per hour depending on your computer's specifications. This is typically more energy than dozens, if not hundreds, of AI image generations (maybe even thousands if you are using a particularly low-quality one).

Traditional art supplies rely on similar if not worse scales of resource extraction, chemical processing, and global supply chains, all of which come with their own environmental impact.

Paint production requires roughly thirteen gallons of water to manufacture one gallon of paint.

Many oil paints contain toxic heavy metals and solvents, which have the potential to contaminate ground water.

Synthetic brushes are made from petroleum-based plastics that take centuries to decompose.

That being said, the point of this section isn't to deflect criticism of AI by criticizing other art forms. Rather, it's important to recognize that we live in a society where virtually all artistic avenues have environmental costs. Focusing exclusively on the newest technologies while ignoring the environmental costs of pre-existing tools and practices doesn't help to solve any of the issues with our current or future waste.

The largest environmental problems come not from individual creative choices, but rather from industrial-scale systems, such as:

Industrial manufacturing (responsible for roughly 22% of global emissions)

Industrial agriculture (responsible for roughly 24% of global emissions)

Transportation and logistics networks (responsible for roughly 14% of global emissions)

Making changes on an individual scale, while meaningful on a personal level, can't address systemic issues without broader policy changes and overall restructuring of global economic systems.

Intellectual Property Considerations

AWAY doesn't encourage members to contact government representatives about "IP theft" for multiple reasons:

We acknowledge that copyright law overwhelmingly serves corporate interests rather than individual creators

Creating new "learning rights" or "style rights" would further empower large corporations while harming individual artists and fan creators

Many AWAY members live outside the United States, many of which having been directly damaged by the US, and thus understand that intellectual property regimes are often tools of imperial control that benefit wealthy nations

Instead, we emphasize respect for artists who are protective of their work and style. Our guidelines explicitly prohibit imitating the style of artists who have voiced their distaste for AI, working on an opt-in model that encourages traditional artists to give and subsequently revoke permissions if they see fit. This approach is about respect, not legal enforcement. We are not a pro-copyright group.

In Conclusion

AWAY aims to cultivate thoughtful, ethical engagement with new technologies, while also holding respect for creative communities outside of itself. As a collective, we recognize that real environmental solutions require addressing concepts such as imperial exploitation, extractive capitalism, and corporate power—not just focusing on individual consumer choices, which do little to change the current state of the world we live in.

When discussing environmental impacts, it's important to keep perspective on a relative scale, and to avoid ignoring major issues in favor of smaller ones. We promote balanced discussions based in concrete fact, with the belief that they can lead to meaningful solutions, rather than misplaced outrage that ultimately serves to maintain the status quo.

If this resonates with you, please feel free to join our discord. :)

The world of corporate intelligence has quietly ballooned into a market valued at over $20 billion. The Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) market alone, valued at around $9.81 billion in 2024. This exponential growth reflects an important shift: intelligence gathering, once the exclusive domain of nation-states, has been privatized and commodified. [...] The methods these firms employ have evolved into a sophisticated doctrine that combines centuries-old espionage techniques with new technology. Understanding their playbook is important to grasping how democracy itself is being undermined. [...] This practice is disturbingly widespread. A report by the Center for Corporate Policy titled “Spooky Business” estimated that as many as one in four activists in some campaigns may be corporate spies. The report documented how “a diverse array of nonprofits have been targeted by espionage, including environmental, anti-war, public interest, consumer, food safety, pesticide reform, nursing home reform, gun control, social justice, animal rights and arms control groups.” The psychological doctrine these firms follow was laid bare in leaked Stratfor documents. Their manual for neutralizing movements divides activists into four categories, each with specific tactics for neutralization: 1. Radicals: Those who see the system as fundamentally corrupt. The strategy is to isolate and discredit them through character assassination and false charges, making them appear extreme and irrational to potential supporters. 2. Idealists: Well-meaning individuals who can be swayed by data. The goal is to engage them with counter-information, confuse them about facts, and gradually pull them away from the radical camp toward more “realistic” positions. 3. Realists: Pragmatists willing to work within the system. Corporations are advised to bargain with them, offering small, symbolic concessions that allow them to claim victory while abandoning larger systemic changes. 4. Opportunists: Those involved for personal gain, status, or excitement. These are considered the easiest to neutralize, often bought off with jobs, consulting contracts, or other personal benefits. [...] Some firms have industrialized specific tactics into product offerings. According to industry sources, “pretexting” services — where operatives pose as someone else to extract information — run $500-$2,000 per successful operation. Trash collection from target residences (“dumpster diving” in industry parlance) is billed at $200-$500 per retrieval. Installing GPS trackers runs $1,000-$2,500 including equipment and monitoring. The most chilling aspect is how these costs compare to their impact. For less than a mid-level executive’s annual salary, a corporation can fund a year-long campaign to destroy a grassroots movement. For the price of a Super Bowl commercial, they can orchestrate sophisticated operations that neutralize threats to their business model. Democracy, it turns out, can be subverted for less than the cost of a good law firm.

A writer’s guide to the historical method: how historians work with sources

In this post, I provide a brief overview of how historians engage with different types of sources, with a focus on the mindset of a historian. This insight could be valuable for anyone crafting a character whose profession revolves around history research. It may also prove useful for authors conducting research for their book.

Concept of historical source

The concept of historical source evolves over time. 

Initially, the focus was mainly on written sources due to their obvious availability. However, as time has progressed, historians now consider a wide range of sources beyond just written records. These include material artifacts, intangible cultural elements, and even virtual data.

While "armchair historians" may rely on existing studies and secondary sources, true professional historians distinguish themselves by delving directly into primary sources. They engage in a nuanced examination of various sources, weaving together diverse perspectives. It's crucial to recognize the distinction between personal recollection or memory and the rigorous discipline of historical inquiry. A historical source provides information, but the truth must be carefully discerned through critical analysis and corroboration.

Here's a concise list of the types of sources historians utilize:

Notarial source

Epistolary source

Accountancy source

Epigraphic source

Chronicle source

Oratory and oral source

Iconographic source

Diary source

Electronic source

Example: a notarial source

These are documents drafted by a notary, a public official entrusted with providing legal certainty to facts and legal transactions. These documents can take various forms, such as deeds, lawsuits, wills, contracts, powers of attorney, inventories, and many others.

Here we are specifically discussing a lawsuit document from 1211 in Italy.

A medieval lawsuit document is highly valuable for understanding various aspects of daily life because in a dispute, one must argue a position. From lawsuits, we also understand how institutions truly operated.

Furthermore, in the Middle Ages, lawsuits mostly relied on witnesses as evidence, so we can access a direct and popular source of certain specific social situations.

Some insight into the methodology of analysis:

Formal examination: historians scrutinize the document's form, verifying its authenticity and integrity. Elements such as structure, writing style, language, signatures, and seals are analyzed. Indeed, a professional historian will rarely conduct research on a source published in a volume but will instead go directly to the archive to study its origin, to avoid transcription errors.

Content analysis: historians proceed to analyze the document's content, extracting useful information for their research. This may include data on individuals, places, events, economic activities, social relations, and much more. It's crucial to compile a list of witnesses in a case and identify them to understand why they speak or why they speak in a certain manner.

Cross-referencing with other sources: information derived from the notarial source is compared with that of other historical sources to obtain a more comprehensive and accurate view of the period under examination.

Documents of the episcopal archive of Ivrea

Let's take the example of a specific legal case, stemming from the documents of the episcopal archive of Ivrea. It's a case from 1211 in Italy involving the bishop of Ivrea in dispute with Bongiovanni d'Albiano over feudal obligations.

This case is significant because it allows us to understand how feudal society operated and how social status was determined.

The bishop's representative argues that Bongiovanni should provide a horse as a feudal service. Bongiovanni denies it, claiming to be a noble, not a serf. Both parties present witnesses and documents supporting their arguments.

Witnesses are asked whether the serf obligations had been endured for a long time. This helps us understand that in a society where "law" was based on customs, it was important to ascertain if an obligation had been endured for a long time because at that point it would no longer be contestable (it would have become customary).

The responses are confused and inconsistent, so witnesses are directly asked whether they consider Bongiovanni a serf or a noble. This is because (and it allows us to understand that) the division into "social classes" wasn't definable within concrete boundaries; it was more about the appearance of one's way of life. If a serf refused to fulfill his serf duties, he would easily be considered a noble by bystanders because he lived like one.

Ultimately, the analysis of the case leads us to determine that medieval justice wasn't conceived with the logic of our modern system, but was measured in oaths and witnesses as evidentiary means. And emerging from it with honor was much more important than fairly distributing blame and reason.

Other sources

Accounting source: it is very useful for measuring consumption and its variety in a particular historical period. To reconstruct past consumption, inventories post mortem are often used, which are lists of goods found in households, described and valued by notaries to facilitate distribution among heirs. Alternatively, the recording of daily expenses, which in modern times were often very detailed, can lead to insights into complex family histories and their internal inequalities - for example, more money might be spent on one child than another corresponding to their planned future role in society.

Oral source: in relation to the political sphere, it is useful for representing that part of politics composed of direct sources, that is, where politics speaks of itself and how it presents itself to the public, such as a politician's public speech. However, working with this type of source, a historian cannot avoid hermeneutic work, as through the speech, the politician aims to present himself to a certain audience, justify, persuade, construct his own image, and achieve results. This is the hidden agenda that also exists in the most obvious part of politics.

Iconographic source: it concerns art or other forms of "artistic" expression, such as in the case of an advertising poster. They become historical sources when it is the historian who, through analysis, confers upon them the status of a historical source. Essentially, the historian uses the source to understand aspects of the past otherwise inaccessible. The first step in this direction is to recontextualize the source, returning it to its original context. Examining the history of the source represents the fundamental first step for historical analysis.

Diary source: diaries are a "subjective" source, a representation of one's self, often influenced by the thoughts of "others," who can be close or distant readers, interested or distracted, visible or invisible, whom every diary author can imagine and hope to see, sooner or later, reflected on the pages of their writing. Furthermore, they are often subject to subsequent manipulations, and therefore should be treated by historians only in their critical edition; all other versions, whether old or new, foreign or not, are useful only as evidence of the changes and manipulations undergone over time by the original manuscripts.

Electronic source: historians use Wikipedia even if they often don't admit it out loud.

Unit 9: Can Trees make their own Rain?

Hi everyone,

Welcome to my Week 9 blog post! 

This week, I want to share one of my favorite nature facts trees can actually create their own rain!

Introduction Forests offer much more than just habitats for wildlife and a source of oxygen; they play a crucial role in generating rainfall. This may come as a surprise, but studies indicate that forests can effectively produce their own rain through a phenomenon known as the Biotic Pump Theory.

Forests significantly influence local weather systems, playing a vital role in maintaining ecological balance and supporting diverse ecosystems. This highlights the importance of conserving our forests, not only for the wildlife that depends on them but also for the overall climate and water cycle they sustain. Protecting these natural habitats is essential for preserving both biodiversity and human life.

The Biotic Pump Theory suggests that trees can make and sustain rainful through atmospheric circulation. As trees release water vapor, they reduce atmospheric pressure over the forest. This creates a suction effect, pulling in moisture-rich air from surrounding areas. This continuous cycle helps sustain regular rainfall within the forest.

The Amazon Rainforest, one of Earth's most studied ecosystems, is a prime example of this phenomenon. Researchers have observed that rainfall begins in the Amazon two to three months before oceanic winds bring in moist air. But where does this early moisture come from? The answer lies in the trees themselves. Trees extract water from the soil through transpiration and release it into the air as water vapour. This vapour rises, cools, condenses into clouds, and eventually falls as rain.

Clouds over Amazon Rainforest

A quote that particularly resonated with me was: "In regards to mental health, experiences of awe can reduce stress and improve mood” (Green & Keltner, 2017, in Beck et al., 2018, Chapter 21). Although I’ve never had the chance to visit the Amazon Rainforest, I’ve always been captivated by its stunning beauty. A moment that truly left me in awe was my first visit to Banff, Alberta, where I experienced many breathtaking views.

NASA Data Satellite data has provided clear evidence that the moisture accumulating over the Amazon is primarily due to transpiration rather than ocean evaporation. Scientists analyzed water vapour using NASA's Aura satellite and found it contained high deuterium levels. Since ocean evaporation leaves deuterium behind, the presence of this isotope in the atmosphere of the rainforest indicates that the moisture originated from the trees, not the sea.

NASA Aura Satellite

Final Thoughts

If the Biotic Pump Theory is proven to be true, it will be essential to understand its role in regulating climate and rainfall. However, deforestation threatens this phenomenon. When vast areas of forest are cleared, the natural process of moisture transport is disrupted, leading to decreased rainfall and an increased risk of desertification. Regions that rely on the biotic pump for water could face agricultural collapse, water shortages, and the loss of vital ecosystems. These changes not only endanger local communities but also contribute to global climate instability. Therefore, it is essential to conserve these forests for future generations.

Regions that depend on The Biotic Pump: -American Southwest -African Sahel -Congo Rainforest -South Asia -Indonesian Archipelago

This week, our textbook emphasized the power of awe and how nature can inspire us to take action (Beck et al., 2018, Chapter 21). Were you in awe to learn that forests can create their own rain? Does this information make you feel compelled to take action?

Essential Predictive Analytics Techniques 

With the growing usage of big data analytics, predictive analytics uses a broad and highly diverse array of approaches to assist enterprises in forecasting outcomes. Examples of predictive analytics include deep learning, neural networks, machine learning, text analysis, and artificial intelligence. 

Predictive analytics trends of today reflect existing Big Data trends. There needs to be more distinction between the software tools utilized in predictive analytics and big data analytics solutions. In summary, big data and predictive analytics technologies are closely linked, if not identical. 

Predictive analytics approaches are used to evaluate a person's creditworthiness, rework marketing strategies, predict the contents of text documents, forecast weather, and create safe self-driving cars with varying degrees of success. 

Predictive Analytics- Meaning 

By evaluating collected data, predictive analytics is the discipline of forecasting future trends. Organizations can modify their marketing and operational strategies to serve better by gaining knowledge of historical trends. In addition to the functional enhancements, businesses benefit in crucial areas like inventory control and fraud detection. 

Machine learning and predictive analytics are closely related. Regardless of the precise method, a company may use, the overall procedure starts with an algorithm that learns through access to a known result (such as a customer purchase). 

The training algorithms use the data to learn how to forecast outcomes, eventually creating a model that is ready for use and can take additional input variables, like the day and the weather. 

Employing predictive analytics significantly increases an organization's productivity, profitability, and flexibility. Let us look at the techniques used in predictive analytics. 

Techniques of Predictive Analytics 

Making predictions based on existing and past data patterns requires using several statistical approaches, data mining, modeling, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. Machine learning techniques, including classification models, regression models, and neural networks, are used to make these predictions. 

Data Mining 

To find anomalies, trends, and correlations in massive datasets, data mining is a technique that combines statistics with machine learning. Businesses can use this method to transform raw data into business intelligence, including current data insights and forecasts that help decision-making. 

Data mining is sifting through redundant, noisy, unstructured data to find patterns that reveal insightful information. A form of data mining methodology called exploratory data analysis (EDA) includes examining datasets to identify and summarize their fundamental properties, frequently using visual techniques. 

EDA focuses on objectively probing the facts without any expectations; it does not entail hypothesis testing or the deliberate search for a solution. On the other hand, traditional data mining focuses on extracting insights from the data or addressing a specific business problem. 

Data Warehousing  

Most extensive data mining projects start with data warehousing. An example of a data management system is a data warehouse created to facilitate and assist business intelligence initiatives. This is accomplished by centralizing and combining several data sources, including transactional data from POS (point of sale) systems and application log files. 

A data warehouse typically includes a relational database for storing and retrieving data, an ETL (Extract, Transfer, Load) pipeline for preparing the data for analysis, statistical analysis tools, and client analysis tools for presenting the data to clients. 

Clustering 

One of the most often used data mining techniques is clustering, which divides a massive dataset into smaller subsets by categorizing objects based on their similarity into groups. 

When consumers are grouped together based on shared purchasing patterns or lifetime value, customer segments are created, allowing the company to scale up targeted marketing campaigns. 

Hard clustering entails the categorization of data points directly. Instead of assigning a data point to a cluster, soft clustering gives it a likelihood that it belongs in one or more clusters. 

Classification  

A prediction approach called classification involves estimating the likelihood that a given item falls into a particular category. A multiclass classification problem has more than two classes, unlike a binary classification problem, which only has two types. 

Classification models produce a serial number, usually called confidence, that reflects the likelihood that an observation belongs to a specific class. The class with the highest probability can represent a predicted probability as a class label. 

Spam filters, which categorize incoming emails as "spam" or "not spam" based on predetermined criteria, and fraud detection algorithms, which highlight suspicious transactions, are the most prevalent examples of categorization in a business use case. 

Regression Model 

When a company needs to forecast a numerical number, such as how long a potential customer will wait to cancel an airline reservation or how much money they will spend on auto payments over time, they can use a regression method. 

For instance, linear regression is a popular regression technique that searches for a correlation between two variables. Regression algorithms of this type look for patterns that foretell correlations between variables, such as the association between consumer spending and the amount of time spent browsing an online store. 

Neural Networks   

Neural networks are data processing methods with biological influences that use historical and present data to forecast future values. They can uncover intricate relationships buried in the data because of their design, which mimics the brain's mechanisms for pattern recognition. 

They have several layers that take input (input layer), calculate predictions (hidden layer), and provide output (output layer) in the form of a single prediction. They are frequently used for applications like image recognition and patient diagnostics. 

Decision Trees  

A decision tree is a graphic diagram that looks like an upside-down tree. Starting at the "roots," one walks through a continuously narrowing range of alternatives, each illustrating a possible decision conclusion. Decision trees may handle various categorization issues, but they can resolve many more complicated issues when used with predictive analytics. 

An airline, for instance, would be interested in learning the optimal time to travel to a new location it intends to serve weekly. Along with knowing what pricing to charge for such a flight, it might also want to know which client groups to cater to. The airline can utilize a decision tree to acquire insight into the effects of selling tickets to destination x at price point y while focusing on audience z, given these criteria. 

Logistics Regression 

It is used when determining the likelihood of success in terms of Yes or No, Success or Failure. We can utilize this model when the dependent variable has a binary (Yes/No) nature. 

Since it uses a non-linear log to predict the odds ratio, it may handle multiple relationships without requiring a linear link between the variables, unlike a linear model. Large sample sizes are also necessary to predict future results. 

Ordinal logistic regression is used when the dependent variable's value is ordinal, and multinomial logistic regression is used when the dependent variable's value is multiclass. 

Time Series Model 

Based on past data, time series are used to forecast the future behavior of variables. Typically, a stochastic process called Y(t), which denotes a series of random variables, are used to model these models. 

A time series might have the frequency of annual (annual budgets), quarterly (sales), monthly (expenses), or daily (daily expenses) (Stock Prices). It is referred to as univariate time series forecasting if you utilize the time series' past values to predict future discounts. It is also referred to as multivariate time series forecasting if you include exogenous variables. 

The most popular time series model that can be created in Python is called ARIMA, or Auto Regressive Integrated Moving Average, to anticipate future results. It's a forecasting technique based on the straightforward notion that data from time series' initial values provides valuable information.  

In Conclusion- 

Although predictive analytics techniques have had their fair share of critiques, including the claim that computers or algorithms cannot foretell the future, predictive analytics is now extensively employed in virtually every industry. As we gather more and more data, we can anticipate future outcomes with a certain level of accuracy. This makes it possible for institutions and enterprises to make wise judgments.  

Implementing Predictive Analytics is essential for anybody searching for company growth with data analytics services since it has several use cases in every conceivable industry. Contact us at SG Analytics if you want to take full advantage of predictive analytics for your business growth.
