What if you don't want to unsubscribe from all types of newsletters a certain company sends you? Some emails you receive - for example, special discounts - may be important, while other information is irrelevant. In this case, you may adjust your email preferences in the newsletter's subscription settings and choose which lists to opt out from. A corresponding link can usually be found at the bottom of an email. Spam filters are set up by default in most email providers. They assess each email to later identify spam and send it to the Junk or Spam folder without you even knowing about it. However, the functioning of in-built spam filters is not always perfect, and they don't capture 100% of the spam every time. That's why it's worth adding your own filter lists to improve the process. By using filters, you will make your email provider automatically move messages that fulfill the criteria you define into a spam folder.

Warner this month told Fridrich & Clark Realty, where he had worked as a contractor, that he was retiring, Steve Fridrich, the company's president and managing partner, said in a statement Monday. Fridrich said a "computer consultant named Tony Warner has worked as an independent contractor" for the company for several years. Fridrich said that Warner had advised the company this month that he was retiring and that the company had not had contact with him since then. Warner had one arrest for possession of marijuana for resale by the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department in January 1978, according to a state arrest record released by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation. Other state records show that Warner was charged with felony drug possession in 1978 and was sentenced to two years' probation. The FBI tamped down expectations Monday that a motive would be determined as quickly as they were able to determine the identity of the apparent suicide bomber. The U.S. attorney's office and the FBI previously said they were able to use Warner's DNA, the bombing vehicle's VIN and tips from the public to determine the identity of the bomber less than 48 hours after the explosion, which crippled AT&T's service in the region. The FBI said Monday that it would not be able to determine the motive that quickly. The FBI said numerous interviews were being conducted with associates of Warner to try to develop a better picture of who he was and what his background was. It was also trying to develop a comprehensive timeline and sequence of events in Warner's life and the sequence of events in the days and hours leading up to the explosion.

It has been reported that more than 70% of the water-related events in the last three decades have cost more than a billion dollars per event in total losses to the U.S. The impact of flooding is most acutely experienced by private households, underscoring the need to better understand how households and neighborhoods can decrease vulnerability by reducing exposure, sensitivity or increasing adaptive capacity (Adger, 2006). In response, scholarship that focuses on flood mitigation behavior at the household level is on the rise (Brody et al., 2010, 2017; Babcicky and Seebauer, 2017; Shah et al., 2017). Risk perception, past experience with flooding, and the broader social context have all been explored as driving flood risk mitigation behavior (Kellens et al., 2011; Terpstra, 2011; Babcicky and Seebauer, 2017; Lechowska, 2018; Kuang and Liao, 2020). While there is general agreement that past experience is a consistent factor influencing preparedness and mitigation behavior (Siegrist and Gutscher, 2008; Babcicky and Seebauer, 2017), the relationship between risk perception and mitigation has been found to be more complex (Takao et al., 2004; Lindell and Hwang, 2008; Bubeck et al., 2012). Underlying these important dimensions are variables indicative of one's social context: social capital and social vulnerability.

1186). VSD advocates an iterative methodology that integrates conceptual, empirical, and technical investigations (Friedman, P. Kahn, and Borning 2002). VSD seeks to be proactive “to influence the design of technology in and throughout the design process” (Friedman, P. Kahn, and Borning 2002, p. 12). A closely related field of research is Values in Design (ViD), which “describes a research space focused on finding and naming values challenged by emerging technologies and infrastructures” rather than proposing design strategies (Shilton, Koepfler, and Fleischmann 2013, p. 4). Studying the position of values in this space requires researchers to carefully define the term ‘values’ and its role in human behaviour, and then to articulate how and where values can be articulated in technology. I draw from VSD and ViD’s literature about defining and locating values in relation to technology, as I describe below. Before proceeding with questions of how values are pursued through design, it is necessary to explain what is meant by values in the first place.

A lot of the reason why I detest NFTs in particular is because I detest the concept of artificial scarcity, something that has been plauging the digital world long before the invention of NFTs with strong-armed intellectual property laws tying up huge parts of popular culture to underground fan artists at best. Our economic system views the creations of nature and of humanity not as gifts to the world to be used responsibly and sustainably, but as resources to be exploited to their breaking point. Naturally, the exploitation of natural resources and absurd energy demands solely to enforce the value of made up internet items would be the endgame, as the only thing that matters to us seems to be if we can produce a return on investment from the gifts we are given. I'd highly recommend reading this article if you're interested in this topic. Because someone's Going at Botswanaweddings to bring it up; I'm all in favor of supporting artists, buying commissions and prints and all of that.
