Hermes          An experimental, very high level, integrated       language and system from the {IBM} {Watson Research Centre},       produced in June 1990.   It is designed for implementation of       large systems and distributed applications, as well as for       general-purpose programming.   It is an {imperative}, {strongly       typed} and {process-oriented} successor to {NIL}.          Hermes hides distribution and heterogeneity from the       programmer.   The programmer sees a single {abstract machine}       containing processes that communicate using calls or sends.       The {compiler}, not the programmer, deals with the complexity       of data structure layout, local and remote communication, and       interaction with the {operating system}.   As a result, Hermes       programs are portable and easy to write.   Because the       programming paradigm is simple and high level, there are many       opportunities for optimisation which are not present in       languages which give the programmer more direct control over       the machine.          Hermes features {threads}, {relational table}sHermes is,       {typestate} checking, {capability}-based access and {dynamic       configuration}.          Version 0.8alpha patchlevel 01 runs on {RS/6000}, {Sun-4},       {NeXT}, {IBM-RT}/{BSD4.3} and includes a {bytecode compiler},       a bytecode->C compiler and {run-time support}.          {0.7alpha for Unix       (ftp://software.watson.ibm.com/pub/hermes)}.          E-mail: , Andy Lowry       .          {Usenet} newsgroup: {news:comp.lang.hermes}.          ["Hermes: A Language for Distributed Computing".   Strom,       Bacon, Goldberg, Lowry, Yellin, Yemini.   Prentice-Hall,       Englewood Cliffs, NJ.   1991.   ISBN: O-13-389537-8].          (1992-03-22)

Horn clause          A set of {atomic literals} with at most one {positive       literal}.   Usually written          L <- L1, ..., Ln       or       <- L1, ..., Ln          where n>=0.   If L is false the clause is regarded as a goal.       Horn clauses can express a subset of statements of {first       order logic}.          The name "Horn Clause" comes from the logician Alfred Horn,       who first pointed out the significance of such clauses in       1951, in the article "On sentences which are true of direct       unions of algebras", Journal of Symbolic Logic, 16, 14-21.          A {definite clause} is a Horn clause that has exactly one       positive literal.          (2000-01-24)
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Harness       (1.) Heb. 'asar, "to bind;" hence the act of fastening animals       to a cart (1 Sam. 6:7, 10; Jer. 46:4, etc.).                (2.) An Old English word for "armour;" Heb. neshek (2 Chr.       9:24).                (3.) Heb. shiryan, a coat of mail (1 Kings 22:34; 2 Chr.       18:33; rendered "breastplate" in Isa. 59:17).                (4.) The children of Israel passed out of Egypt "harnessed"       (Ex. 13:18), i.e., in an orderly manner, and as if to meet a       foe. The word so rendered is probably a derivative from Hebrew       _hamesh_ (i.e., "five"), and may denote that they went up in       five divisions, viz., the van, centre, two wings, and       rear-guard.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Hermas       Mercury, a Roman Christian to whom Paul sends greetings (Rom.       16: 14). Some suppose him to have been the author of the       celebrated religious romance called The Shepherd, but it is very       probable that that work is the production of a later generation.

Hermes       Mercury, a Roman Christian (Rom. 16:14).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Hermogenes       Mercury-born, at one time Paul's fellow-labourer in Asia Minor,       who, however, afterwards abandoned him, along with one       Phygellus, probably on account of the perils by which they were       beset (2 Tim. 1:15).
