From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Melita       (Acts 27:28), an island in the Mediterranean, the modern Malta.       Here the ship in which Paul was being conveyed a prisoner to       Rome was wrecked. The bay in which it was wrecked now bears the       name of "St. Paul's Bay", "a certain creek with a shore." It is       about 2 miles deep and 1 broad, and the whole physical condition       of the scene answers the description of the shipwreck given in       Acts 28. It was originally colonized by Phoenicians       ("barbarians," 28:2). It came into the possession of the Greeks       (B.C. 736), from whom it was taken by the Carthaginians (B.C.       528). In B.C. 242 it was conquered by the Romans, and was       governed by a Roman propraetor at the time of the shipwreck       (Acts 28:7). Since 1800, when the French garrison surrendered to       the English force, it has been a British dependency. The island       is about 17 miles long and 9 wide, and about 60 in       circumference. After a stay of three months on this island,       during which the "barbarians" showed them no little kindness,       Julius procured for himself and his company a passage in another       Alexandrian corn-ship which had wintered in the island, in which       they proceeded on their voyage to Rome (Acts 28:13, 14).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Mildew       (the rendering of a Hebrew word meaning "to be yellow,"       yellowness), the result of cutting east winds blighting and thus       rendering the grain unproductive (Deut. 28:22; 1 Kings 8:37; 2       Chr. 6:28).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Millet       (Heb. dohan; only in Ezek. 4:9), a small grain, the produce of       the Panicum miliaceum of botanists. It is universally cultivated       in the East as one of the smaller corn-grasses. This seed is the       cenchros of the Greeks. It is called in India warree, and by the       Arabs dukhan, and is extensively used for food, being often       mixed with other grain. In this country it is only used for       feeding birds.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Moladah       birth, a city in the south of Judah which fell to Simeon (Josh.       15:21-26; 19:2). It has been identified with the modern el-Milh,       10 miles east of Beersheba.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Mouldy       Of the Gibeonites it is said that "all the bread of their       provision was dry and mouldy" (Josh. 9:5, 12). The Hebrew word       here rendered "mouldy" (nikuddim) is rendered "cracknels" in 1       Kings 14:3, and denotes a kind of crisp cake. The meaning is       that the bread of the Gibeonites had become dry and hard, hard       as biscuits, and thus was an evidence of the length of the       journey they had travelled.

Malta produces only about 20%    of its food needs, has limited freshwater supplies, and has no    domestic energy sources. Consequently, the economy is highly dependent    on foreign trade and services. Manufacturing and tourism are the    largest contributors to the economy. Manufacturing accounts for about    24% of GDP, with the electronics and textile industries major    contributors and with the state-owned Malta drydocks employing about    4,300 people. In 1994, over 1,000,000 tourists visited the island.
