alphanumeric          A decimal digit or a letter (upper or lower case).       Typically, "letters" means only English letters ({ASCII} A-Z       plus a-z) but it may also include non-English letters in the       Roman alphabet, e.g., e-{acute}, c-{cedilla}, the {thorn       letter}, and so on.   Perversely, it may also include the       {underscore} character in some contexts.          (1997-09-11)
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Aholibamah       tent of the height, the name given to Judith, the daughter of       Beeri = Anah (Gen. 26:34; 36:2), when she became the wife of       Esau. A district among the mountains of Edom, probably near       Mount Hor, was called after her name, or it may be that she       received her name from the district. From her descended three       tribes of Edomites, founded by her three sons.

The    economy rebounded in 1993-94 after a severe depression accompanying    the collapse of the previous centrally planned system in 1990 and    1991. Stabilization policies - including a strict monetary policy,    public sector layoffs, and reduced social services - have improved the    government's fiscal situation and reduced inflation. The recovery was    spurred by the remittances of some 20% of the population which works    abroad, mostly in Greece and Italy. These remittances supplement GDP    and help offset the large foreign trade deficit. Foreign assistance    and humanitarian aid also supported the recovery. Most agricultural    land was privatized in 1992, substantially improving peasant incomes.    Albania's limited industrial sector, now less than one-sixth of GDP,    continued to decline in 1994. A sharp fall in chromium prices reduced    hard currency receipts from the mining sector. Large segments of the    population, especially those living in urban areas, continue to depend    on humanitarian aid to meet basic food requirements. Unemployment    remains a severe problem accounting for approximately one-fifth of the    work force. Growth is expected to continue in 1995, but could falter    if Albania becomes involved in the conflict in the former Yugoslavia,    workers' remittances from Greece are reduced, or foreign assistance    declines.       National product: GDP - purchasing power parity - $3.8 billion (1994    est.)       National product real growth rate: 11% (1994 est.)       National product per capita: $1,110 (1994 est.)       Inflation rate (consumer prices): 16% (1994)       Unemployment rate: 18% (1994 est.)       Budget:    revenues: $1.1 billion    expenditures: $1.4 billion, including capital expenditures of $70    million (1991 est.)       Exports: $112 million (f.o.b., 1993)    commodities: asphalt, metals and metallic ores, electricity, crude    oil, vegetables, fruits, tobacco    partners: Italy, The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Germany,    Greece, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary       Imports: $621 million (f.o.b., 1993)    commodities: machinery, consumer goods, grains    partners: Italy, The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Germany,    Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania, Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria, Greece       External debt: $920 million (1994 est.)       Industrial production: growth rate -10% (1993 est.); accounts for 16%    of GDP (1993 est.)       Electricity:    capacity: 770,000 kW    production: 4 billion kWh    consumption per capita: 1,200 kWh (1994)       Industries: food processing, textiles and clothing, lumber, oil,    cement, chemicals, mining, basic metals, hydropower       Agriculture: accounts for 55% of GDP; arable land per capita among    lowest in Europe; 80% of arable land now in private hands; 60% of the    work force engaged in farming; produces wide range of temperate-zone    crops and livestock       Illicit drugs: transshipment point for Southwest Asian heroin    transiting the Balkan route and cocaine from South America destined    for Western Europe; limited opium production       Economic aid:    recipient: $303 million (1993)       Currency: 1 lek (L) = 100 qintars       Exchange rates: leke (L) per US$1 - 100 (January 1995), 99 (January    1994), 97 (January 1993), 50 (January 1992), 25 (September 1991)       Fiscal year: calendar year       Albania:Transportation       Railroads:    total: 543 km line connecting Podgorica (Serbia and Montenegro) and    Shkoder completed August 1986    standard gauge: 509 km 1.435-m gauge    narrow gauge: 34 km 0.950-m gauge (1990)       Highways:    total: 18,450 km    paved: 17,450 km    unpaved: earth 1,000 km (1991)       Inland waterways: 43 km plus Albanian sections of Lake Scutari, Lake    Ohrid, and Lake Prespa (1990)       Pipelines: crude oil 145 km; petroleum products 55 km; natural gas 64    km (1991)       Ports: Durres, Sarande, Shergjin, Vlore       Merchant marine:    total: 11 cargo ships (1,000 GRT or over) totaling 52,967 GRT/76,887    DWT       Airports:    total: 11    with paved runways 2,438 to 3,047 m: 3    with paved runways 914 to 1,523 m: 2    with unpaved runways over 3,047 m: 2    with unpaved runways 2,438 to 3,047 m: 1    with unpaved runways 1,524 to 2,438 m: 1    with unpaved runways 914 to 1,523 m: 2       Albania:Communications       Telephone system: about 55,000 telephones; about 15 telephones/1,000    persons    local: primitive; about 11,000 telephones in Tirane, the capital city    intercity: obsolete wire system; no longer provides a telephone for    every village; in 1992, following the fall of the communist    government, peasants cut the wire to about 1,000 villages and used it    to build fences    international: inadequate; carried through the Tirane exchange and    transmitted through Italy on 240 microwave radio relay circuits and    through Greece on 150 microwave radio relay circuits       Radio:    broadcast stations: AM 17, FM 1, shortwave 0    radios: 515,000 (1987 est.)       Television:    broadcast stations: 9    televisions: 255,000 (1987 est.)       Albania:Defense Forces       Branches: Army, Navy, Air and Air Defense Forces, Interior Ministry    Troops, Border Guards       Manpower availability: males age 15-49 919,085; males fit for military    service 755,574; males reach military age (19) annually 33,323 (1995    est.)       Defense expenditures: 330 million leke, NA% of GNP (1993); note -    conversion of defense expenditures into US dollars using the current    exchange rate could produce misleading results
