Helmet From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia For other uses, see Helmet (disambiguation). This article needs additional citations for verification. Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (December 2012) A woman wearing a bicycling helmet A helmet is a form of protective gear worn to protect the head from injuries. Ceremonial or symbolic helmets (e.g., UK policeman's helmet) without protective function are sometimes used. The oldest known use of helmets was by Assyrian soldiers in 900BC, who wore thick leather or bronze helmets to protect the head from blunt object and swordblows and arrow strikes in combat. Soldiers still wear helmets, now often made from lightweight plastic materials. In civilian life, helmets are used for recreational activities and sports (e.g., jockeys in horse racing, American football, ice hockey, cricket,baseball, and rock climbing); dangerous work activities (e.g., construction, mining, riot police); and transportation (e.g., Motorcycle helmetsand bicycle helmets). Since the 1990s, most helmets are made from resin or plastic, which may be reinforced with fibers such as aramids. The word helmet is diminutive from helm, Medieval word for combat protective headgear. The Medieval great helm covers the whole head and often is accompanied with camail protecting throat and neck as well. Originally a helmet was a helm which covered the head only partly.

1 Israel's New Coalition Government Sir Kieran Prendergast, KCVO, CMG After Four Elections and Prolonged Deadlock, Israel
Israel’s new coalition government Sir Kieran Prendergast, KCVO, CMG After four elections and prolonged deadlock, Israel has a new coalition government, made up of eight highly diverse parties: there are representatives of the left, right, and centre; secular and religious; Jew and Muslim; capitalist and socialist; parties favouring a two-state solution and opposed to settlement activity co-exist with others who are pro-annexation and fiercely opposed to a Palestinian state. There’s something for everyone, even Israeli Arabs and Bedouin. Because of the system of absolute proportional representation, Israel is always governed by coalition. Even so, this one has some unusual features: • Naftali Bennett, who will rotate with Yair Lapid, is the first Prime Minister in Israel’s history to be an observant (i.e., Orthodox) Jew; • he represents a tiny party, with only 6 seats in the 120 member Knesset (5% of the vote); • the ultra-Orthodox parties have been excluded from the Coalition (an objective of both Bennett and Lapid: Avigdor Lieberman is also strongly opposed to special privileges for the Haredim); • for the first time the coalition includes an Arab party, the conservative, Islamist Ra’am Party. Hitherto the conventional wisdom has been that it was unthinkable that a Zionist party should depend for its parliamentary majority on Israeli Arabs. Programme Not surprisingly, given the clashing views within the Coalition on issues connected to the Palestinian issue – on which at least two of the parties are further to the right than former Prime Minister Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu – the emphasis of the written coalition agreement is heavily skewed towards domestic issues, focusing on improvements in healthcare, infrastructure, education and a reduction in poverty.
