The MLA-1 from JL Cooper is a wall-panel mounted MIDI line amplifier, featuring four MIDI inputs and four MIDI outputs, that would normally be accessed via a separate MIDI-jack panel. This allows MIDI signals to be sent through 1,000 feet or more of common twisted pair wire.
The unit is suitable for school installations, recording facilitates, stadiums, arenas, hotels, amusement parks, or other facilities where MIDI messages are required to be sent a long distance, or to multiple locations. Since the MLA-1 converts the MIDI input to a proprietary format, a second, compatible unit is required at the termination of the long cable run.
- Surface mount MIDI line amplifier that allows for MIDI cable runs over 1,000 foot using common twisted pair wire
- 4 MIDI inputs
- 4 MIDI outputs
- All barrier strip connections
- Multiple units may be networked
- Can be used with other MLA units

I wanted to hang a mother of pearl bead from the bottom of each to make earrings. However, because they only face right- the leaves would have to be going a different direction for each earring. I wish these came in either a left facing link or were reversible. ( The back of each link is plain.) Oh, well I'll just find another use for them. 1 person found this review helpful Click here to review this product (Reviews are subject to approval) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

New CEO Announced For Arkansas Foodbank
The former head of the Arkansas Hunger Relief Alliance has been named the new CEO of the Arkansas Foodbank.
Rhonda Sanders said she's excited about the opportunity.
"I really fell in love with the food banking industry, the mixture of charitable organization, helping people get their life on track and get the food they need, while also operating in the business environment."
Sanders said the Arkansas Foodbank aims to allocate 18 million lbs. of food this year.
"Our goal is for it to be distributed evenly and equitably throughout the state and in the area of high poverty. So, they will receive the amounts of food that they need to ensure that those folks in poverty there have a good nutritious food source available to them," said Sanders.
Sanders replaces Phyllis Haynes, who is retiring.
The group says Arkansas is ranked the third hungriest state in the nation.

The Castaic Union School District is looking at a pair of separate legal actions at a special board meeting Monday night, district officials said.
Don't miss a thing. Get breaking Santa Clarita news alerts delivered right to your inbox.
A lawsuit against another school district and the potential for changing the election of the governing board are two items of discussion on the agenda.
The meeting was called to formally approve the district's Local Control Accountability Plan, a state-mandated spending plan the school district reviewed at a public hearing on Thursday.
The district will also be adopting a general fund budget of $21.5 million.
Acton Agua Dulce Unified School District charter schools
Recently, the Newhall and Los Angeles Unified school districts filed lawsuits against the Acton Agua Dulce Unified School District, alleging the district usurped its local control with its charter school approvals.
The school district approved 15 charter schools over the last three years, according to a letter from Newhall officials.

Castaic Union officials are considering joining the lawsuit as an aggrieved party, Superintendent Jim Gibson said Monday.
"We're considering, because we are an injured party, joining the lawsuit," Gibson said. "In order for (Dannis, Woliver, Kelley) to give us an opinion and guide us, then we need to retain their service, regardless of the direction the district would take."
The AADUSD district chartered Einstein Academy to open a school intended to operate within CUSD borders. However, the school's inability to have the site permitted in time for this school year meant students of that charter school attended AADUSD campuses this past school year.

The charter school approvals ultimately prompted legislation slated for discussion among Assembly committees in the state Legislature.
District-based elections
The Castaic Union School District was one of four sent letters by the law firm of Shenkman & Hughes earlier this month.
Related article:4 Santa Clarita Valley School Districts Sent Letters On Voting Rights Act
The letters sought a voluntary move by the governing board to district-based elections — where a board member lives in and represents a certain geographic region of a district — from their current at-large elections, whereby a representative could live anywhere and represent the whole district.
Hart district officials recently announced their intent to look at district-based elections at their JUly 18 board meeting.
The Castaic Union board has a little different dynbamic, but still planned a thorough look at the situation, Gibson said.
"I don't expect an action on one of those directions tonight," Gibson said, referring to a changing of the district's electoral system. "We're considering our options at this point."
Gibson mentioned the fact that CUSD has a Hispanic representation, and in the past has had ethnic representation of minorities on its governing board.
"We're going to look at what the other districts have done," said board President David Huffaker. "We want to be in compliance. We're waiting for some advice from legal counsel."
The board would likely take action in July after advice is received, he said.

NFL training camps got underway last week and it came with a sense of optimism as teams got back to business. Football stars like Maurice Jones-Drew, Cliff Avril and Mike Wallace were among those who were disgruntled about their current contract situations and decided to not report to camp. Others, like Baltimore's Ed Reed and the Jets' Darrelle Revis, reported without incident despite hopes of having a new deal worked out.
Wallace, Jones-Drew and Avril all play significant roles in their respective team's systems. Can their team succeed if there is a prolonged holdout? Let's take a look at each of them and their particular situations.
Maurice Jones-Drew: Jones-Drew had made it clear almost as quickly as last season came to a close that he felt he was worth more money and wanted to have a new deal struck. Unfortunately for him, Jacksonville GM Gene Smith had a different thought process about paying the star running back more money, correctly pointing out that Jones-Drew still had two years remaining on a five year, $31 million deal.
Jones-Drew has proven his worth for Jacksonville; he led the league in carries (343) and rushing yards (1,606) last season while adding 43 receptions and 11 total touchdowns while appearing in every game. Jones-Drew's 1,980 total yards from scrimmage kept the Jaguars in games they had no business competing in. If he doesn't play, the Jaguars are in trouble, as second-year quarterback Blaine Gabbert is not ready for prime time by any stretch of the imagination.
Jacksonville placed Jones-Drew on the reserve- did not report list over the weekend. The Jags are going to have to pony up the bucks if they expect to have any shot of competing.
Mike Wallace: Wallace is a speedster that is capable of stretching the field for the Steelers offense. With the departure of Hines Ward, who was cut and subsequently retired, Wallace is the de facto number one receiver on the Steelers depth chart. He broke the 1,000 yard plateau for the second consecutive season last year and averages 18.7 yards per catch in his first three seasons. He's grabbed 171 passes for 3,206 yards and 24 touchdown passes in those three years, starting 34 of a possible 48 games without missing a game.
Wallace was given a first round tender by the Steelers, which means that if he plays this year, he'll make $2.72 million. A lot of the money targeted for Wallace went to Antonio Brown, who signed an extension this weekend. While Wallace is worth the money, Pittsburgh may simply not have it to give.
Cliff Avril: Avril had a tremendous season in 2011, ringing up 11 sacks while forcing six fumbles and recovering three for the Lions. For his efforts, he was given the franchise tag by Detroit, which hasn't done anything to endear the franchise to the defensive end.
Avril missed the start of training camp, stating that he didn't want to get injured and it's clear that long-term security is at the top of his list. Arizona's Calais Campbell received a five year, $55 million extension and with better numbers than Campbell, Avril wants to get paid as well. He's good, but the Lions boast Kyle Vandenbosch, Ndamukong Suh and Nick Fairley on the defensive line. His presence would be missed but it's hard to see Detroit throwing a truckload of cash at him at this stage.
Do you think any of these players will report to camp without changes to their contracts?

Recipe Question (experimental- mesquite beer) ________________________________________ I want to brew a 3 gallon batch this weekend with the goal of using mesquite chips in the secondary. I want a low ABV (so I might go ~4 gallons) but do not care about the color as much as something unique and refreshing. I have: 3.3 lbs pilsner LME 1 lb dark malt DME I need to get some yeast. What would you recommend for a crystal clear beer? My question is should I hop this, bittering vs. aroma? Should I stay away from the dark DME and pick up some light DME so that I have a cleaner palate to work with? I would also consider adding some orange zest in the secondary. Recommendations?
Definition of an Irishman: "a complex mechanism for turning Guinness into urine." - The Stout Book by Brendan O'Brien
This sounds interesting. You need to strike a balance between the hops and the mesquite character, but you want a citrusy flavor. I'd think maybe some amarillo hops as they have a really nice orange citrus flavor. I also think keeping this beer on the lighter side of the color spectrum would be the way to go. As for clearing the beer, you could always use some irish moss or add some plain gelatin to clear it. Personally I think this combination would also be good in a wheat beer. Good luck, I probably didn't help much, but I can taste your beer in my mind and it's good.
Make Beer, Not War.
Summit hops have a tangerine-like flavor, if you can find them. If you're looking for a very clear ale, try some Irish Moss and White Labs WLP007 Dry English Ale yeast. It is one I use a lot and it really attenuates well and leaves a very clear beer. Also, let it sit in a secondary fermenter for a while in as cool a place as you can. Give it time in that secondary to really clear. Patience is key!
The chips don't do much. You can get a better flavor character by using the dried beans. Grind them with a coffee grinder or blender. You can add them to the wort. Light DME is the best.
Added Kingsford Mesquite Chips to an Irish Red Ale in the bottles... would never do that again. Not sure if that brand of chips is actually laden with lighter fluid (no indication of that kind of thing on the bag) but that is definitely the resultant flavoring. Added about 3/4in chip to each bottle, maybe that was just way way too much, but definitely overpowered any semblance of a good beer.
The other thing I might be concerned about is the super high level of tannins in the wood. Mesquite wood/bark is a primary source of tannic acid for industrial uses.

Big parties and groups can opt for a choice of whole pig, goat, lamb or fish for a group dinner. However, this large order would have to be pre-booked.

- Nike's stock price has been performing weakly in the last few weeks due to the disappointing earnings report.
- Nike has a strong history of accomplishing high-growth and profitability simultaneously.
- While many analysts downgraded their outlook for the company, the long-term picture still looks good.
- While valuation is not historically cheap, it is not expensive either. The current pullback might be a chance many people have been waiting for.
Last week, Nike's (NYSE:NKE) earnings report left many investors disappointed and this led to a sell-off. Those that have been waiting for a pullback to start a position in the company might have found one. In this article, we will look at how Nike looks from a long-term standpoint.
Nike has a long history of strong growth. Year after year, the company launches new products, enters in new markets and uses its strong brand image built through heavy and effective marketing over the years to post growth. As a result, the company's year-to-year revenue growth chart looks very impressive with very few minor bumps on the road.
Nike has been able to post net annual profits for more than 30 years in a row and this is something not many companies can boast about. In fact, what makes this even more impressive is that the company continues to be in a growth mode as it posts strong profits year after year. Many major corporations see their profits shrink or disappear altogether when they invest heavily for future growth while Nike accomplishes growth and profitability simultaneously. Between 2000 and now, Nike was able to grow its per share earnings from $0.50 to nearly $3.00. The company's profits of 2000 look like a rounding error compared to today's profits.
Nike always enjoyed strong margins thanks to its strong brand name. Many people are willing to pay a premium price for Nike's products and the company can usually get away with increasing its prices to pass growing costs to its customers without much trouble. If you look at the long-term trend, you will notice that Nike's gross margins have been increasing almost consistently in the last two decades. Currently, the company enjoys a gross margin of 44.33% and while this is a little below the peak, it is still above historical averages. Notice how the company's gross margin expands and stays high during the Great Recession of late 2000s while many companies were posting margin contractions during the same period. This is also a good sign about the company's resiliency.
If we look at the operating and net profit margins, both of these margins are near the peak as we speak. Over the years, Nike has learned to be more efficient and the company increased the power of its marketing so that it could reach larger audiences, make bigger impacts while spending less of its revenues to accomplish this. If the global economy goes back in growth mode, Nike's margins are likely to improve further but even if they don't improve anytime soon, these are still strong margins that many growth companies would love to have.
Over the years, the investors paid different multiples to own shares of Nike. For example, in late 1980s to mid 1990s, investors gave this company P/E ratios in mid-teens because they thought that the company was pretty big and it didn't have much room to grow. Once Nike started having a feel for the potential in Asia and other international markets, investors start bidding the company's shares up. During the 1990s, the company's P/E rose to as high as 65 but this was greatly influenced by the market bubble that was inflating at the time. In 2000s, investors realized that Nike is still growing at a solid rate while staying profitable so they decided to give it a multiple in 20s. The company's current multiple of 25 is the highest we've seen in the last 5 years but it is difficult to call it expensive if we look at the company's history of profitability coupled with strong growth.
Since Nike gets a lot of its revenues from international markets and it is known to be a product for which people pay a premium price, the company's margins will rely heavily on economic situation and currency exchange rates in developing nations. Moving forward, this will be the biggest issue for Nike investors to worry about. As the company has been getting rid of non-core brands in the last few years, the margins (excluding currency effects) may continue getting better and Converse will continue to add fuel to the company's revenue growth in both domestic and international markets.
Many analysts see Nike growing its earnings in double-digits through margin expansion, share repurchases and revenue growth. Since the company's recent earnings report, 14 of the 16 analysts covering the company downgraded their outlook for this year while 15 analysts downgraded their outlook for the next year; however, the estimates still look strong as the analysts are looking for $2.97 per share this year, $3.30 per share next year and $3.97 per share in 2016. In fact, the company's EPS will approach $5 by 2017 if it can meet the analyst targets. This tells us that even if many analysts downgraded their estimates in the recent weeks, they are still optimistic for the company in the long term.
For those that have been waiting for a good time to buy Nike, this may be your time.

Atlantic City, NJ -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/30/2014 -- Days of the vital first impression are gone with the dinosaurs. Today most first impressions are made over the internet. Many people hire professionals to create websites and profiles that give an illusion of expertise, trust, and reliability to lure people in.
Simple mistakes are made each day. Something as tiny as a typographical error can turn telling someone they have a beautiful "shirt" into "shit." How many people have fallen victim to Siri and other voice to text translators and their rather adult humor?
Second impressions are made when people meet for the first time in real life. This is their chance to create a solid lasting impression or correct any previous "wrong" impressions and lay the foundation for the future. Prior to technology the first impression was all people had. Today, people create so many versions of themselves on social media. Twitter profiles for sales and shouting, Facebook for a more conservative side that grandparents approve, Google+ for real people, Match or POF for dating and many others. All these profiles make it impossible to determine who the real person is. Second impressions made at SOCON are confirmed and validated when a new SOCON member picks up their ID Tag in real life. Each SOCON member receives a eternal member number that connects all their social media faces.
SOCON is drive by the USERS. The USERS are coming together to take control of their online relationships. There friendships are not at the mercey of the social media or internet provider. They are part of a group that is committed to keeping their relationships connected on and offline.
Are your friends online worth meeting in real life? Are they meaningful and important relationships in your reality. If the answer is YES, then you PROVE IT BY SHOWING UP IN REAL LIFE AT SOCON. When people dont want to meet in real life you start to question . . . what are they hiding? The world wants to see who is real. The real people will come together in real life to share a drink, a handshake and a hug. Those who don't meet in real life will fade to "blue heads."
"Many SOCON attendees are traveling alone to meet their friends in real life for the first time. They have been working with each other for years, cheering each other on, and helping them attain their personal and professional goals in life. Meeting in real life is the next logical step." explained Kristen Slevin Co-Founder of SOCON.
SOCON attendees are SOCIAL and NETWORK around the world. Convention attendees are flying in from around the world. These connections have empowered SOCON members to upgrade their lives in a short amount of time, using FREE applications and services like Google drive and play store apps.

Blackburn Rovers want two strikers to replace injured Leon Best
Blackburn Rovers will look to sign two strikers before the start of the season to replace the injured Leon Best.
The 25-year-old has been ruled out for six months with a serious knee injury.
Blackburn have made a tentative inquiry for Huddersfield striker Jordan Rhodes but were told the player is not for sale.
"What we have to do now is find a good replacement and also supplement that," Blackburn's global advisor Shebby Singh told BBC Radio Lancashire.
Blackburn global advisor Shebby Singh on Leon Best's injury"When I heard the news, it was difficult for me not to cry. Life has to go on, but right now it hurts very deeply"
"There is still time for us to do that. Three weeks will be enough for us to make sure we start the season with a very competitive strike force.
"We were always going to look for someone else to deputise for Leon.
"Now we've got to look for someone who is going to play and another player who is going to deputise."
Blackburn get their Championship season under way at Ipswich on Saturday, 18 August.
Best, who joined Rovers from Newcastle for £3m this month, scored in the 2-1 friendly win over AEK Athens on Sunday but was carried off on a stretcher before half-time.
Scans on Monday confirmed Best damaged his cruciate ligaments, which will keep him out until the new year.
"We signed Leon because he's got the strengths that we need," continued Singh. "Now we're going to lose him for a minimum of six months.
"I feel for him because he's bought into the ambition of the club and he's been fantastic in training.
"Against AEK Athens, he was bullying their defenders. And then this happens.
"When I heard the news, it was difficult for me not to cry. Life has to go on, but right now it hurts very deeply."

31st July 2012 - 21:16I don't really think signing 2 more strikers is such a good idea. This just sounds like something Steve Kean would do, get loads of strikers, realise that one is better than another, overuse them and leave the other ones to sit on the the bench and not realise what good talent they actually have. That's what kind of makes them a Championship team in terms of transfer buisness.

31st July 2012 - 16:59Kean has more money than sense and maybe not much sense!He has not given Goodwillie a chance.He is not a "bit part player", he's thrives on goals and the opportunity to score produces a confidence which delivers even more goals. How can you expect to get the best out of a player if you don't play him where he can score.Give him back on loan rather than waste the boys talent!Blackburn going nowhere

The Full season you refer to was indeed half a season for Jelavic who suffered ligament damage.....so in half a season he scored 1 goal less than Goodwillie did in a whole season.....check your stats before posting......makes you look stupid. -

31st July 2012 - 16:26The problem Goodwillie has is that he is a footballer in a team that struggle to play football. Kean's tactics suit the big "haddie" up front that will throw himself about. That was Blackburn's downfall last season. Goodwillie banged them in for Dundee United as he would receive passes to the feet. Plus he got more that 7 minutes at the end of a game.

PA Printer Strikes Up Perfection —Cagle
August 2010Underneath the uniform of every printer across this great land sits the big red Superman "S", just waiting for mild-mannered second pressman Clark Kent to reap the opportunity to do something brave, heroic or unbelievable.
Well, we don't recall Clark Kent ever bowling a perfect game, and we certainly doubt that he ever came close to rolling three masterpieces in a row. We know that for a fact, incidentally, because the new national record for the most consecutive strikes thrown is now held by, you guessed it, a printer. Step aside, Superman, and make way for Tommy Gollick, arguably the most prolific bowler in history.
Gollick is not a professional keggler, and this Swatara Township, PA, native won't quit his day job as a printer for a nonprofit company. In fact, unlike Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak, Gollick's streak came to an end when, well, he stopped bowling. After 47 straight strikes, which upended the previous record of 40 set in 1986, Gollick packed up his ball and went home.
In all, he threw a 279 during his first league game at Red Crown Bowling Center in Harrisburg, PA, on May 11, then rattled off a trio of successive perfect games and earned the official recognition from the United States Bowling Congress. Gollick told The Patriot- News that he loosened up after racking up the second 300 game, in the process shattering the house record of 35 strikes.
But after Gollick's fourth game was in the books, he was ready to go home and was unfazed by the thought of how many more strikes he might have been able to throw. The 32-year-old, who has bowled since the tender age of 5, will go back to bowling in anonymity now, never getting a shot at the big money earned by professionals, despite racking up an achievement that even the greatest of bowlers will never accomplish.
BANNER IDEA: Memorial Day and the Fourth of July are the two holidays that find Americans in the most patriotic of spirits, so it comes as no surprise that one printer has ushered in a tradition of celebrating our nation's freedom fighters with a message that carries a lasting impression.
Starting in 2008, Keith Nichols and his family-owned inkDOTS Printing, of Cypress, TX, began printing out 22-foot banners that feature patriotic images. The banner is hung outside inkDOTS Printing for people who want to sign their names, add encouraging messages and well wishes. Once the banner is full of names, Nichols ships the banner to one of the nation's war theaters—Iraq, Afghanistan—for the troops to enjoy and appreciate during some spiritually demoralizing times.
Nichols plans on printing and shipping his banners of encouragement overseas as long as U.S. troops are serving their country, so this promises to be a commitment that will last into the foreseeable future.
SPEAKING OF FREEDOM: We are continually reminded that freedom comes at a cost. Some people give their lives in its defense, while others trample over it in squelching ideas they find offensive. As I write this, longtime White House correspondent Helen Thomas has resigned from her reporting gig with Hearst newspapers over a remark where she suggested that Jews should "get the hell out of Palestine" and go home to Germany, Poland and America, etc. Her inflammatory remarks essentially ended a career that began in the 1940s.
The irony here is that the freedom of speech entitled to all Americans was shamelessly perverted via a mob mentality in the name of protecting an entire race of people from racial discrimination, and stripped away from a person who for more than half a century has done her part in championing the First Amendment in the Bill of Rights—which includes freedom of speech and the press. We must continuously recognize that the First Amendment was crafted to protect unpopular speech, and that it is an absolute.
For whatever reason, there was a rush to have Thomas ousted by Hearst in the name of swift justice. And, in that rush to portray Thomas as an ethnic cleanser who wanted to revisit the Holocaust, 99 percent of the public probably didn't know that she is a Lebanese immigrant whose memory and life predates the Israeli state, and whose obvious point of view is that Palestine is occupied land.
But I'm not picking sides in THAT battle. The point here is that Thomas' rant, however clumsy, mean spirited and open to interpretation it may have been, is constitutionally protected.
And, after 60 years on the political beat, perhaps she should have been given the benefit of the doubt—or at least the chance to defend her views, as opposed to the public skewering that she received.
Long live free speech, and may Helen find comfort in her role as its champion. PI

evil eye (n.)↕
The evil eye is a look that is believed by many cultures to be able to cause injury or bad luck for the person at whom it is directed for reasons of envy or dislike. The term also refers to the power attributed to certain persons of inflicting injury or bad luck by such an envious or ill-wishing look. The evil eye is usually given to others without knowing what it is or what it does.
The "evil eye" is also known as ʿayn al-ḥasūd (عين الحسود) and mal de ojo.[1]
The idea expressed by the term causes many cultures to pursue protective measures against it. The concept and its significance vary widely among different cultures, primarily the Middle East. The idea appears several times in translations (Tirgumim) of the Old Testament.[2] It was a widely extended belief among many Mediterranean and Asian tribes and cultures.
Contents |
In some forms, it is the belief that some people can bestow a curse on victims by the malevolent gaze of their magical eye. The most common form, however, attributes the cause to envy, with the envious person casting the evil eye doing so unintentionally. Also the effects on victims vary. Some cultures report afflictions with bad luck; others believe the evil eye may cause disease, wasting, or even death. In most cultures, the primary victims are thought to be babies and young children, because they are so often praised and commented upon by strangers or by childless women. The late UC Berkeley professor of folklore Alan Dundes has explored the beliefs of many cultures and found a commonality—that the evil caused by the gaze is specifically connected to symptoms of drying, desiccation, withering, and dehydration, that its cure is related to moisture, and that the immunity from the evil eye that fish have in some cultures is related to the fact that they are always wet.[3] His essay "Wet and Dry: The Evil Eye" is a standard text on the subject.
In many beliefs, a person—otherwise not malefic in any way—can harm adults, children, livestock or possessions, simply by looking at them with envy. The word "evil" is somewhat misleading in this context, because it suggests an intentional "curse" on the victim. A better understanding of the term "evil eye" can be gained from the old English word for casting the evil eye, namely "overlooking", implying that the gaze has remained focused on the coveted object, person, or animal for too long.
The amount of literary and archeological evidence attests to the belief in the evil eye in the eastern Mediterranean for millennia starting with Hesiod, Callimachus, Plato, Diodorus Siculus, Theocritus, Plutarch, Heliodorus, Pliny the Elder, and Aulus Gellius. In Peter Walcot's Envy and the Greeks (1978) he referenced more than one hundred of these authors' works related to the evil eye. Studying these written sources in order to write on the evil eye only gives a fragmented view of the subject whether it presents a folkloric, theological, classical, or anthropological approach to the evil eye. While these different approaches tend to reference similar sources each presents a different yet similar usage of the evil eye, that the fear of the evil eye is based on the belief that certain people have eyes whose glance has the power to injure or even kill and that it can be intentional or unintentional.
Belief in the evil eye during antiquity is based on the evidence in ancient sources like Aristophanes, Athenaeus, Plutarch, and Heliodorus. There are also speculations that claim[who?] Socrates possessed the evil eye and that his disciples and admirers were fascinated by Socrates' insistently glaring eyes. His followers were called Blepedaimones, which translates into "demon look," not because they were possessors and transmitters of the evil eye, but because they were suspected of being under the hypnotic and dangerous spell of Socrates.
In the Greco-Roman period a scientific explanation of the evil eye was common. Plutarch's scientific explanation stated that the eyes were the chief, if not sole, source of the deadly rays that were supposed to spring up like poisoned darts from the inner recesses of a person possessing the evil eye (Quaest.Conv. 5.7.2-3=Mor.80F-81f). Plutarch treated the phenomenon of the evil eye as something seemingly inexplicable that is a source of wonder and cause of incredulity.
The belief in the evil eye during antiquity varied from different regions and periods. The evil eye was not feared with equal intensity in every corner of the Roman Empire. There were places in which people felt more conscious of the danger of the evil eye. In the Roman days not only were individuals considered to possess the power of the evil eye but whole tribes, especially those of Pontus and Scythia, were believed to be transmitters of the evil eye. The phallic charm called fascinum in Latin, from the verb fascinare, "to cast a spell" (the origin of the English word "fascinate"), was used against the evil eye.
The spreading in the belief of the evil eye towards the east is believed to have been propagated by the Empire of Alexander the Great, which spread this and other Greek ideas across his empire.[citation needed]
Belief in the evil eye is strongest in the Middle East, East and West Africa, Central America, South Asia, Central Asia, and Europe, especially the Mediterranean region; it has also spread to areas, including northern Europe, particularly in the Celtic regions, and the Americas, where it was brought by European colonists and Middle Eastern immigrants.
Belief in the evil eye is found in Islamic doctrine, based upon the statement of Muhammad, "The influence of an evil eye is a fact..." [Sahih Muslim, Book 26, Number 5427].[4] Authentic practices of warding off the evil eye are also commonly practiced by Muslims: rather than directly expressing appreciation of, for example, a child's beauty, it is customary to say Masha'Allah, that is, "God has willed it," or invoking God's blessings upon the object or person that is being admired.[5] Aside from beliefs based upon authentic Islamic texts, a number of unsubstantiated beliefs about the evil eye are found in folk religion, typically revolving around the use of amulets or talismans as a means of protection.
Although the concept of cursing by staring or gazing is largely absent in East Asian and Southeast Asian societies, the Usog curse of the Philippines is an exception.
In the Aegean Region and other areas where light-colored eyes are relatively rare, people with green eyes are thought to bestow the curse, intentionally or unintentionally.[6] This belief may have arisen because[citation needed] people from cultures not used to the evil eye, such as Northern Europe, are likely to transgress local customs against staring or praising the beauty of children. Thus, in Greece and Turkey amulets against the evil eye take the form of blue eyes, and in the painting by John Phillip, below, we witness the culture-clash experienced by a woman who suspects that the artist's gaze implies that he is looking at her with the evil eye.
Among those who do not take the evil eye literally, either by reason of the culture in which they were raised or because they simply do not believe in such things, the phrase, "to give someone the evil eye" usually means simply to glare at the person in anger or disgust.
Attempts to ward off the curse of the evil eye has resulted in a number of talismans in many cultures. As a class, they are called "apotropaic" (Greek for "prophylactic" or "protective," literally: "turns away") talismans, meaning that they turn away or turn back harm.
Disks or balls, consisting of concentric blue and white circles (usually, from inside to outside, dark blue, light blue, white, dark blue) representing an evil eye are common apotropaic talismans in the Middle East, found on the prows of Mediterranean boats and elsewhere; in some forms of the folklore, the staring eyes are supposed to bend the malicious gaze back to the sorcerer.
Known as nazar (Turkish: nazar boncuğu or nazarlık), this talisman is most frequently seen in Turkey, found in or on houses and vehicles or worn as beads.
A blue or green eye can also be found on some forms of the hamsa hand, an apotropaic hand-shaped talisman against the evil eye found in the Middle East. The word hamsa, also spelled khamsa and hamesh, means "five" referring to the fingers of the hand. In Jewish culture, the hamsa is called the Hand of Miriam; in some Muslim populated cultures, the Hand of Fatima. However, it is considered a superstition to practicing or religious Muslims that any symbol or object protects against the evil eye. In Islam, only God can protect against the evil eye.
Evil eye, Isabat al-'ayn, is a common belief that individuals have the power to look at people, animals or objects to cause them harm. In Islam, God is the only one who can protect against the evil eye; no object or symbol can. Prophet Muhammad prohibited the use of talismans as protection against the evil eye because it is idolatry, the form of protection allowed being supplication to Allah.[7] It is tradition among many Muslims that if a compliment is to be made one should say "Masha'Allah" (ما شاء الله) ("God has willed it.") and also "Tabarakallah" (تبارك الله) ("Blessings of God") to ward off the evil eye. Reciting Sura Al-Falaq and Sura Al-Nas from the Qur'an is also used as a means of personal protection against the evil eye.[8]
The Assyrians are also strong believers in the evil eye. They will usually wear a blue/turquoise bead around a necklace to be protected from the evil eye. Also, they might pinch the buttocks, comparable to Armenians. It is said that people with green or blue eyes are more prone to the evil eye effect.[citation needed][clarification needed] A simple and instant way of protection in European Christian countries is to make the sign of the cross with your hand and point two fingers, the index finger and the little finger, towards the supposed source of influence or supposed victim as described in the first chapter of Bram Stoker's novel Dracula published in 1897:
When we started, the crowd round the inn door, which had by this time swelled to a considerable size, all made the sign of the cross and pointed two fingers towards me. With some difficulty, I got a fellow passenger to tell me what they meant. He would not answer at first, but on learning that I was English, he explained that it was a charm or guard against the evil eye.[9]
The evil eye is mentioned several times in the classic Pirkei Avot, Ethics of Our Fathers. In Chapter II, five disciples of Rabbi Yochanan Ben Zakai give advice on how to follow the good path in life and avoid the bad. Rabbi Eliezer says an evil eye is worse than a bad friend, a bad neighbor, or an evil heart. Judaism believes that a "good eye" designates an attitude of good will and kindness towards others. Someone who has this attitude in life will rejoice when his fellow man prospers; he will wish everyone well. An "evil eye" denotes the opposite attitude. A man with "an evil eye" will not only feel no joy but experience actual distress when others prosper, and will rejoice when others suffer. A person of this character represents a great danger to our moral purity.[10] Many Jews avoid talking about valuable items they own, good luck that has come to them and, in particular, their children. If any of these are mentioned, the speaker and/or listener will say, "b'li ayin hara", meaning "without an evil eye", or "kein eina hara" (often shortened to "kennahara"), "no evil eye".
The evil eye called as Buri Nazar or Dishti is an ancient belief in India.[11] There are several ways of removing the evil eye mention in Atharvaveda.

In Ethiopia, it is believed that anyone could give you the evil eye. Women occasionally spit to the ground when ever they admire a loved one in order not to give them the evil eye. Buda (or bouda), an Ethiopian folk religion, is the power of the evil eye. Buda is generally believed to be a power held and wielded by those in a different social group, for example among the Beta Israel or metalworkers. Belief in the evil eye, or buda, is widespread in Ethiopia. The Beta Israel, or Ethiopian Jews, are often characterized as possessing buda. Other castes such as ironworkers are often labeled as bearing the buda. In fact, the word for manual worker, tabib, is also used to denote "one with the evil eye." The alleged evil power of the tabib is believed to be at a level similar to that of witches. Buda's alleged prevalence among outsiders correlates with the traditional belief that evil eye curses themselves are rooted in envy. As such, those allegedly possessing the power of buda might do so because of malevolent spirits. One study[which?] specifies that they are believed to be "empowered by evil spirit". Niall Finneran describes how "the idea of magical creation underpins the perception of artisans in Ethiopia and in the wider African context. In many cases these skills have been acquired originally from an elemental source of evil via the paternal lineage, rather like a Faustian pact".[citation needed] Ethiopian Christians will generally carry an amulet or talisman, known as a kitab, or will invoke God's name, to ward off the ill effects of buda. A debtera, who is either an unordained priest or educated layperson, will create these protective amulets or talismans.
The evil eye, known as μάτι (mati), "eye," as an apotropaic visual device, is known to have been a fixture in Greece dating back to at least the 6th century BC, when it commonly appeared on drinking vessels.[12] In Greece, the evil eye is cast away through the process of xematiasma (ξεμάτιασμα), whereby the "healer" silently recites a secret prayer passed over from an older relative of the opposite sex, usually a grandparent. Such prayers are revealed only under specific circumstances, for according to superstition those who reveal them indiscriminately lose their ability to cast off the evil eye. There are several regional versions of the prayer in question, a common one being: "Holy Virgin, Our Lady, if [insert name of the victim] is suffering of the evil eye release him/her of it"[citation needed] repeated three times. According to custom, if one is indeed afflicted with the evil eye, both victim and "healer" then start yawning profusely. The "healer" then performs the sign of the cross three times, and spits in the air three times.
Another "test" used to check if the evil eye was cast is that of the oil: under normal conditions, olive oil floats in water, as it is less dense than water. The test of the oil is performed by placing one drop of olive oil in a glass of water, typically holy water. If the drop floats, the test concludes there is no evil eye involved.
If the drop sinks, then it is asserted that the evil eye is cast indeed. An alternate form of the test is to place two drops of olive oil into a glass of water. If the drops remain separated, the test concludes there is no evil eye, but if they merge, there is. This is usually performed by an old lady, who is known for her healing, or a grandparent.
The Greek Fathers accepted the traditional belief in the evil eye but attributed it to the Devil and envy. In Greek theology the evil eye or vaskania (βασκανία) is considered harmful for the one whose envy inflicts it on others as well as for the sufferer. The Greek Church has an ancient prayer against vaskania from the Megan Hieron Synekdemon book of prayers (Μέγαν Ιερόν Συνέκδημον).

The cornicello, "little horn," also called the cornetto (little horn) or cornetti (plural), is a long, gently twisted horn-shaped amulet. Cornicelli are usually carved out of red coral or made from gold or silver. The type of horn they are intended to copy is not a curled-over sheep horn or goat horn but rather like the twisted horn of an African eland or something similar.[citation needed]
Some theorists[who?] endorse the idea that the ribald suggestions made by sexual symbols would distract the witch from the mental effort needed to successfully bestow the curse. Others[who?] hold that since the effect of the eye was to dry up liquids, the drying of the phallus (resulting in male impotence) would be averted by seeking refuge in the moist female genitals. Among the ancient Romans and their cultural descendants in the Mediterranean nations, those who were not fortified with phallic charms had to make use of sexual gestures to avoid the eye. Such gestures include the fig sign; a fist with the index and little finger extended and a fist with the thumb pressed between the index and middle fingers, representing the phallus within the vagina. In addition to the phallic talismans, statues of hands in these gestures, or covered with magical symbols, were carried by the Romans as talismans. In Latin America, carvings of the fist with the thumb pressed between the index and middle fingers continue to be carried as good luck charms.
The wielder of the evil eye, the jettatore, is described as having a striking facial appearance, high arching brows with a stark stare that leaps from his black eyes. He often has a reputation for clandestine involvement with dark powers and is the object of gossip about dealings in magic and other forbidden practices. Successful men having tremendous personal magnetism quickly gain notoriety as jettatori. Pope Pius the fourth was dreaded for his evil eye, and a whole cycle of stories about the disasters that happened in his wake were current in Rome during that latter decades of the nineteenth century. Public figures of every type, from poets to gangsters, have had their specialized abilities attributed to the power of their eyes.[13]
In Mexico and Central America, infants are considered at special risk for the evil eye (see mal de ojo, above) and are often given an amulet bracelet as protection, typically with an eye-like spot painted on the amulet. Another preventive measure is allowing admirers to touch the infant or child; in a similar manner, a person wearing an item of clothing that might induce envy may suggest to others that they touch it or some other way dispel envy.
One traditional cure in rural Mexico involves a curandero (folk healer) sweeping a raw chicken egg over the body of a victim to absorb the power of the person with the evil eye. The egg is later broken into a glass and examined (the shape of the yolk is thought to indicate whether the aggressor was a man or a woman). In the traditional Hispanic culture of the Southwestern United States and some parts of Mexico, an egg is passed over the patient and then broken into a bowl of water. This is then covered with a straw or palm cross and placed under the patient's head while he or she sleeps; alternatively, the egg may be passed over the patient in a cross-shaped pattern while saying the Lord's Prayer. The shape of the egg in the bowl is examined in the morning to assess success.[14]
In some parts of South America the act of Ojear which could be translated as to give someone the evil eye is an involuntary act. Someone may ojear babies, animals and inanimate objects just by staring and wanting them. This may produce illness, discomfort or possibly death on babies or animals and failures on inanimate objects like cars or houses. It's a common belief that since this is an involuntary act made by people with heavy look, the proper way of protection is by attaching a red ribbon to the animal, baby or object, in order to attract the gaze to the ribbon rather than to the object intended to be protected.[15]

Mal ojo often occurs without the dimension of envy, but insofar as envy is a part of ono, it is a variant of this underlying sense of insecurity and relative vulnerability to powerful, hostile forces in the enviornment. In her study of medical attitudes in the Santa Clara Valley of California, Margaret Clark arrives at essentially the same conclusion: "Among the Spanish-speaking folk of Sal si Puedes, the patient is regarded as a passive and innocent victim of malevolent forces in his enviornment. These forces may be witches, evil spirits, the consequences of poverty, or virulent bacteria which invade his body. The scapegoat may be a visiting social worker who unwitingly 'cast the evil eye' ... Mexican folk concepts of disease are based in part on the notion that people can be victimized by the careless or malicious behavior of others".[citation needed]
Another aspect of the mal ojo syndrom in Ixtepeji is a disturbance of the hot-cold equilibrium in the victim. According to folk belief, the bad effects of an attack result from the "hot" force of the aggressor entering the child's body and throwing it out of balance. Currier has shown how the Mexican hot-cold system is an unconscious folk model of social relations upon which social anxieties are projected. According to Currier, "the nature of Mexian peasant society is such that each individual must continuously attempt to achieve a balance between two opposing social forces: the tendency toward intimacy and that toward withdrawal. [It is therefore proposed] that the individual's continuous preoccupation with achieving a balance between "heat" and "cold" is a way of reenacting, in symbolic terms, a fundamental activity in social relations."[16]
In 1946, the American magician Henri Gamache published a text called Terrors of the Evil Eye Exposed! (later reprinted as Protection against Evil), which offers directions to defend oneself against the evil eye. Also known as "Mean Muggin" among urban youths.
In most languages the name translates literally into English as "bad eye," "evil eye," "evil look," or just "the eye." Some variants on this general pattern from around the world are:
