            artificial strain of voice; an affected speaking with a

      4. (Mus.)
            (a) A sound considered as to pitch; as, the seven tones of
                  the octave; she has good high tones.
            (b) The larger kind of interval between contiguous sounds

      Note: The use of the word tone, both for a sound and for the

               sound are expressed by all, or by a part, of the
               numbers in the series 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc.; and the
               quality of any sound (the tone color) is due in part to
               the presence or absence of overtones as represented in
               this series, and in part to the greater or less
               intensity of those present as compared with the
               fundamental tone and with one another. Resultant tones,
               combination tones, summation tones, difference tones,
               Tartini's tones (terms only in part synonymous) are
               produced by the simultaneous sounding of two or more

            performed with due vigor.
  
      Note: In this sense, the word is metaphorically applied to
               character or faculties, intellectual and moral; as, his
               mind has lost its tone.
  
      6. (Physiol.) Tonicity; as, arterial tone.
  
      7. State of mind; temper; mood.

      Syrian desert; the modern Teyma'.

      about 20 miles west of Jerusalem. It has been identified with

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Tin
      Heb. bedil (Num. 31:22; Ezek. 22:18, 20), a metal well known in
      ancient times. It is the general opinion that the Phoenicians of
      Tyre and Sidon obtained their supplies of tin from the British
      Isles. In Ezek. 27:12 it is said to have been brought from
      Tarshish, which was probably a commercial emporium supplied with
      commodities from other places. In Isa. 1:25 the word so rendered
      is generally understood of lead, the alloy with which the silver
      had become mixed (ver. 22). The fire of the Babylonish Captivity
      would be the means of purging out the idolatrous alloy that had
      corrupted the people.

   Economy
  
   Overview: Taiwan has a dynamic capitalist economy with considerable
   government guidance of investment and foreign trade and partial
   government ownership of some large banks and industrial firms. Real
   growth in GNP has averaged about 9% a year during the past three
   decades. Export growth has been even faster and has provided the
   impetus for industrialization. Inflation and unemployment are
   remarkably low. Agriculture contributes about 4% to GDP, down from 35%
   in 1952. Taiwan currently ranks as number 13 among major trading
   countries. Traditional labor-intensive industries are steadily being
   replaced with more capital- and technology-intensive industries.
   Taiwan has become a major investor in China, Thailand, Indonesia, the
   Philippines, Malaysia, and Vietnam. The tightening of labor markets
   has led to an influx of foreign workers, both legal and illegal.
