From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Macedonia
      in New Testament times, was a Roman province lying north of
      Greece. It was governed by a propraetor with the title of
      proconsul. Paul was summoned by the vision of the "man of
      Macedonia" to preach the gospel there (Acts 16:9). Frequent
      allusion is made to this event (18:5; 19:21; Rom. 15:26; 2 Cor.
      1:16; 11:9; Phil. 4:15). The history of Paul's first journey
      through Macedonia is given in detail in Acts 16:10-17:15. At the
      close of this journey he returned from Corinth to Syria. He
      again passed through this country (20:1-6), although the details
      of the route are not given. After many years he probably visited
      it for a third time (Phil. 2:24; 1 Tim. 1:3). The first convert
      made by Paul in Europe was (Acts 16:13-15) Lydia (q.v.), a
      "seller of purple," residing in Philippi, the chief city of the
      eastern division of Macedonia.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Michtam
      writing; i.e., a poem or song found in the titles of Ps. 16;
      56-60. Some translate the word "golden", i.e., precious. It is
      rendered in the LXX. by a word meaning "tablet inscription" or a
      "stelograph." The root of the word means to stamp or grave, and
      hence it is regarded as denoting a composition so precious as to
      be worthy to be engraven on a durable tablet for preservation;
      or, as others render, "a psalm precious as stamped gold," from
      the word _kethem_, "fine or stamped gold."
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Misdeem
      (Deut. 32:27, R.V.). The Authorized Version reads, "should
      behave themselves strangely;" i.e., not recognize the truth,
      misunderstand or mistake the cause of Israel's ruin, which was
      due to the fact that God had forsaken them on account of their
      apostasy.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Mixed multitude
      (Ex. 12:38), a class who accompanied the Israelites as they
      journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, the first stage of the
      Exodus. These were probably miscellaneous hangers-on to the
      Hebrews, whether Egyptians of the lower orders, or the remains
      of the Hyksos (see {EGYPT}; {MOSES}), as some
      think. The same thing happened on the return of the Jews from
      Babylon (Neh. 13:3), a "mixed multitude" accompanied them so
      far.

   Economy
  
   Overview: The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, although the
   poorest republic in the former Yugoslav federation, can meet basic
   food and energy needs through its own agricultural and coal resources.
   Its economic decline will continue unless ties are reforged or
   enlarged with its neighbors Serbia and Montenegro, Albania, Greece,
   and Bulgaria. The economy depends on outside sources for all of its
   oil and gas and most of its modern machinery and parts. An important
   supplement of GDP is the remittances from thousands of Macedonians
   working in Germany and other West European nations. Continued
   political turmoil, both internally and in the region as a whole,
   prevents any swift readjustments of trade patterns and economic
   programs. The country's industrial output and GDP are expected to
   decline further in 1995. The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia's
   geographical isolation, technological backwardness, and potential
   political instability place it far down the list of countries of
   interest to Western investors. Resolution of the dispute with Greece
   and an internal commitment to economic reform would encourage foreign
   investment over the long run. In the immediate future, the worst
   scenario for the economy would be the spread of fighting across its
   borders.
