   Hal/S
  
      (Hal/Shuttle) A {real-time} {high-level language}
      for flight control applications.   Hal was developed for {NASA}
      by {Intermetrics, Inc.} in the 1970s for on-board {software}.
      The initial version was a {Fortran} {preprocessor}, written in
      Fortran.   In 1972, as the space shuttle project advanced, the
      language was renamed Hal/S and made more adaptable to
      {architecture} of different computers by using {XPL}.   In all,
      11 different implementations, mostly based on {IBM 360}, were
      created.   Applications also included projects by {JPL}
      (Galileo probe, Deep Space network).

   HiLog
  
      A {higher-order logic} programming language.   An extension of
      normal {logic programming} where {predicate} symbols may be
      variable or structured.   This allows {unification} to be
      performed on the predicate symbols themselves in addition to
      their arguments.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Halak
      smooth; bald, a hill at the southern extremity of Canaan (Josh.
      11:17). It is referred to as if it were a landmark in that
      direction, being prominent and conspicuous from a distance. It
      has by some been identified with the modern Jebel el-Madura, on
      the south frontier of Judah, between the south end of the Dead
      Sea and the Wady Gaian.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Helek
      a portion, (Josh. 17:2), descended from Manasseh.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Helez
      strong, or loin (?) (1.) One of Judah's posterity (1 Chr. 2:39).
     
         (2.) One of David's warriors (2 Sam. 23:26).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Helkai
      smooth-tongued, one of the chief priests in the time of Joiakim
      (Neh. 12:15).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Hilkiah
      portion of Jehovah. (1.) 1 Chr. 6:54. (2.) 1 Chr. 26:11. (3.)
      The father of Eliakim (2 Kings 18:18, 26, 37). (4.) The father
      of Gemariah (Jer. 29:3). (5.) The father of the prophet Jeremiah
      (1:1).
     
         (6.) The high priest in the reign of Josiah (1 Chr. 6:13; Ezra
      7:1). To him and his deputy (2 Kings 23:5), along with the
      ordinary priests and the Levites who had charge of the gates,
      was entrusted the purification of the temple in Jerusalem. While
      this was in progress, he discovered in some hidden corner of the
      building a book called the "book of the law" (2 Kings 22:8) and
      the "book of the covenant" (23:2). Some have supposed that this
      "book" was nothing else than the original autograph copy of the
      Pentateuch written by Moses (Deut. 31:9-26). This remarkable
      discovery occurred in the eighteenth year of Josiah's reign
      (B.C. 624), a discovery which permanently affected the whole
      subsequent history of Israel. (See {JOSIAH}; {SHAPHAN}.)
     
         (7.) Neh. 12:7. (8.) Neh. 8:4.
