From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Hanging
      (as a punishment), a mark of infamy inflicted on the dead bodies
      of criminals (Deut. 21:23) rather than our modern mode of
      punishment. Criminals were first strangled and then hanged (Nu.
      25:4; Deut. 21:22). (See 2 Sam. 21:6 for the practice of the
      Gibeonites.)
     
         Hanging (as a curtain). (1.) Heb. masak, (a) before the
      entrance to the court of the tabernacle (Ex. 35:17); (b) before

      to the most holy place, called "the veil of the covering"
      (35:12; 39:34), as the word properly means.
     
         (2.) Heb. kelaim, tapestry covering the walls of the
      tabernacle (Ex. 27:9; 35:17; Num. 3:26) to the half of the

         (3.) Heb. bottim (2 Kings 23:7), "hangings for the grove"
      (R.V., "for the Asherah"); marg., instead of "hangings," has
      "tents" or "houses." Such curtained structures for idolatrous
      worship are also alluded to in Ezek. 16:16.

   Economy
  
   Overview: Hong Kong has a bustling free market economy with few
   tariffs or nontariff barriers. Natural resources are limited, and food
   and raw materials must be imported. Manufacturing accounts for about
   17% of GDP. Goods and services exports account for about 50% of GDP.
   Real GDP growth averaged a remarkable 8% in 1987-88, slowed to 3.0% in
   1989-90, and picked up to 4.2% in 1991, 5.0% in 1992, 5.2% in 1993,
   and 5.5% in 1994. Unemployment, which has been declining since the
   mid-1980s, is now about 2%. A shortage of labor continues to put
   upward pressure on prices and the cost of living. Prospects for
   1995-96 remain bright so long as major trading partners continue to be
   reasonably prosperous and so long as investors feel China will support
   free market practices after the takeover in 1997.
