The author will be grateful to receive any suggestions from OASIS users for improvements to the book. t Introduction This book is intended to be a non-technical tutorial and reference guide to the THEOSTM operating system. We intend to illustrate a method of creating a "turn-key" THEOS installation, and we wish to provide a supplement to the documentation provided by THEOS Software Corp., the marketers of THEOS. This book can be used by managers who may be considering the purchase of a THEOS based computer system as well as those who are already THEOS users. The book is divided into two sections, the system manager section and the system user section. The system manager section is designed for the person charged with the responsibility of installing and main­ taining the system, while the user section is designed for those who want to learn how to use THEOS in their everyday work. 11 12 THEOS User's Handbook OPERATING SYSTEMS AND THEOS Introduction People who work with computers have a unique vocabulary. The chapters that follow assume that you are familiar with certain basic terms and concepts. In this chapter we will provide a working vocabu­ lary for the later chapters, give a tour of a terminal keyboard which you will need to be familiar with in order to work with a computer, and introduce you to the history and design philosophy of the THEOS operating system. If you are already an experienced computer user familiar with the terminology, you may want to skip the majority of this chapter and start with the section on the history of THEOS.

  • Common Errors in English by Paul Brians [email protected]
    Common Errors in English by Paul Brians [email protected] http://www.wsu.edu/~brians/errors/ (Brownie points to anyone who catches inconsistencies between the main site and this version.) Note that italics are deliberately omitted on this page. What is an error in English? The concept of language errors is a fuzzy one. I'll leave to linguists the technical definitions. Here we're concerned only with deviations from the standard use of English as judged by sophisticated users such as professional writers, editors, teachers, and literate executives and personnel officers. The aim of this site is to help you avoid low grades, lost employment opportunities, lost business, and titters of amusement at the way you write or speak. But isn't one person's mistake another's standard usage? Often enough, but if your standard usage causes other people to consider you stupid or ignorant, you may want to consider changing it. You have the right to express yourself in any manner you please, but if you wish to communicate effectively you should use nonstandard English only when you intend to, rather than fall into it because you don't know any better. I'm learning English as a second language. Will this site help me improve my English? Very likely, though it's really aimed at the most common errors of native speakers. The errors others make in English differ according to the characteristics of their first languages. Speakers of other languages tend to make some specific errors that are uncommon among native speakers, so you may also want to consult sites dealing specifically with English as a second language (see http://www.cln.org/subjects/esl_cur.html and http://esl.about.com/education/adulted/esl/).

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract This thesis considers the development of the ideology of death articulated in myth and of theories concerning the possibility, in both mythical and 'secular' contexts, of attaining some form of immortality. It covers the archaic period, beginning after Homer and ending with Pindar, and examines an amalgam of (primarily) literary and iconographical evidence. However, this study will also take into account anthropological, archaeological, philosophical and other evidence, as well as related theories from other cultures, where such evidence sheds light on a particular problem. The Homeric epics admit almost no possibility of immortality for mortals, and the possibility of retaining any significant consciousness of 'self' or personal identity after death and integration into the underworld is tailored to the poems rather than representative of any unified theory or belief. The poems of the Epic Cycle, while lacking Homer's strict emphasis on human mortality, nonetheless show little evidence of the range and diversity of types of immortality which develops in the archaic period.

    TheOS Whitepaper May 8, 2021 Abstract Introduction Agents in TheOS Key TheOS Mechanics Token Utility Economics Token Staking Utility Token Liquidity Mining Utility Interactions The NFT Minting Process The Auction Process THe NFTIZE Process Definitions Appendix I - NFT Pooling Properties DRAFT The Hyper Economy Operating System (THEOS) “Symbolic communication mechanisms played a significant part in the evolutionary process by allowing plants, animals and humans to exchange individual experiences and thus turning collections of relatively isolated organisms into adaptive distributed cognition systems. By providing aggregated information on comparative values of goods and services to participants with bounded interests and rationality, the economic signalling mechanisms give them incentives to adjust their consumption and production efforts in accordance with the collective requirements of all other agents in the system. The suggested model of a "hypereconomic" system combines flows of globally aggregated scalar information on prices with mechanisms for sharing knowledge about situational utilities of groups of resources. The project presents methods for combining value and utility signalling mechanisms, introduces non-scalar representations of common experiences analogous to derivative financial instruments and researches their efficiency in different types of economics environments.” Source: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/713811 p. 1 Abstract We propose TheOS, an ecosystem design that is set to accommodate the demands of the emerging hyper-economy. While not a vigorously defined academic term, hyper-economy is an ecosystem that is much closer to the Arrow-Debreu complete markets setup, an ecosystem that builds upon the assumption of availability of global instant liquidity for any asset as well as transparent and complete information sets available to every market agent.

  • Tech Giants, Artificial Intelligence, and the Future of Journalism
    Tech Giants, Artificial Intelligence, and the Future of Journalism This book examines the impact of the “Big Five” technology companies – Apple, Google, Amazon, Facebook, and Microsoft – on journalism and the media industries. It looks at the current role of algorithms and artifi- cial intelligence in curating how we consume media and their increasing influence on the production of the news. Exploring the changes that the technology industry and automation have made in the past decade to the production, distribution, and con- sumption of news globally, the book considers what happens to journal- ism once it is produced and enters the media ecosystems of the Internet tech giants – and the impact of social media and AI on such things as fake news in the post-truth age. The audience for this book are students and researchers working in the field of digital media, and journalism studies or media studies more generally. It will also be useful to those who are looking for ex- tended case studies of the role taken by tech giants such as Facebook and Google in the fake news scandal, or the role of Jeff Bezos in transforming The Washington Post. Jason Whittaker is the Head of the School of English and Journalism at the University of Lincoln. He worked for 15 years as a tech journalist and has written extensively on magazine journalism and digital media, most recently as the co-editor of the collection Online Journalism in Africa (2013) and as the author of Magazine Production (2016).

  • Information to Users
    INFORMATION TO USERS While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this manuscript, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. For example: • Manuscript pages may have indistinct print. In such cases, the best available copy has been filmed. • Manuscripts may not always be complete. In such cases, a note will indicate that it is not possible to obtain missing pages. • Copyrighted material may have been removed from the manuscript. In such cases, a note will indicate the deletion. Oversize materials (e.g., maps, drawings, and charts) are photographed by sectioning the original, beginning at the upper left-hand corner and continuing from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. Each oversize page is also filmed as one exposure and is available, for an additional charge, as a standard 35mm slide or as a 17”x 23” black and white photographic print.
