Hermes, in Greek religion and mythology, son of Zeus and Maia. His functions were many, but he was primarily the messenger of the gods, particularly of Zeus, and conductor of souls to Hades. He was god of travelers and roads, of luck, of music and eloquence, of merchants and commerce, of young men, and of cheats and thieves. He was credited with having invented the lyre and the shepherd's flute. His most typical monument, the herma or herm, was a stone pillar which usually had a carved head on top and a phallus in the center, probably representing the god in his original role as the giver of fertility. The Hermaea, a riotous festival, was celebrated in his honor. In art, as exemplified by the statue The Flying Mercury by Giovanni Bologna (Bargello, Florence) Hermes is represented as a graceful youth, wearing a wide-brimmed winged hat and winged sandals and carrying the caduceuscaduceus

ESA approved the spaceplane project in 1987, aiming at a first launch in 1995. But the loss of the space shuttle Challenger in 1986 forced the craft's designers to add in extra safety features that increased its weight and drove up costs. After its budget was cut in 1992, ESA tried to revive it as a joint project with Russia, but without success. Hermes was finally cancelled in 1993. 2 (1937 UB or (69230) Hermes) An asteroid discovered by Karl Reimuth in 1937 when it approached within 0.006 AU (780 000 km) of the Earth. A very small member of the Apollo group, it was lost for 66 years because of uncertain knowledge of its orbit. It was rediscovered in 2003 by US astronomer Brian A. Skiff and is now known to cross the Earth's orbit once every 777 days. By tracking its orbit back to the year of its discovery, astronomers have learned that it made very close approaches to Earth in 1942 (within 0.0044 AU), 1954, 1974, 1980, and 1986, but went unnoticed. Radar observations of Hermes made from the Arecibo observatory since its rediscovery indicate that it is in fact two rocky bodies in orbit around each other.Hermes[′hər‚mēz] (astronomy) A very small asteroid which passed within 485,000 miles (780,000 kilometers) of the earth in 1937, the closest known approach of a celestial body other than the moon.

It is designed for implementation oflarge systems and distributed applications, as well as forgeneral-purpose programming. It is an imperative language,strongly typed and is a process-oriented successor toNIL.
Hermes hides distribution and heterogeneity from theprogrammer. The programmer sees a single abstract machinecontaining processes that communicate using calls or sends.The compiler, not the programmer, deals with the complexityof data structure layout, local and remote communication, andinteraction with the operating system. As a result, Hermesprograms are portable and easy to write. Because theprogramming paradigm is simple and high level, there are manyopportunities for optimisation which are not present inlanguages which give the programmer more direct control overthe machine.
Hermes features threads, relational tablesHermes is,typestate checking, capability-based access and dynamic configuration.

HermesThe trade finance agency for Germany.HermesAn export credit guarantee issued by the German state. Hermes covers guarantee payment on certain exports in case the importer defaults. They are used to cover between 2% and 3% of German exports. This allows the exporters to charge lower prices for their products because of the reduced risk. As with all export credit, Hermes is controversial; critics allege that it negatively impacts international development, as developing countries cannot compete with such insured exports. Proponents argue that they enable developing countries to import products they otherwise would not be able to afford.HERMES
