What different styles of head coverings say about Israeli Jewish men
What you wear can say a lot about who you are and what you believe. In Israel, for instance, the type of kippa – or lack thereof – worn by an Israeli Jewish man often is strongly correlated with his religious identity as well as some political views.
These skullcaps (also known by their Yiddish name, yarmulkes), are regularly worn by about one-third of Israel's Jewish men, especially the religiously observant. They come in several basic styles, with some more favored by particular Jewish subgroups than others.
Among Israeli men who say they usually wear a large black fabric kippa, a majority identify as Haredi (also known as ultra-Orthodox) Jews (58%). By contrast, most of those who wear a black crocheted or knitted kippa (59%) say they are Masorti ("traditional") Jews. And small black fabric kippot (the plural of kippa) as well as colored or patterned crocheted kippot are particularly common among Dati ("religious," sometimes called "modern Orthodox") Jews.
Meanwhile, among Israeli men who do not usually wear a head covering, 73% are Hiloni ("secular") Jews, and about a quarter (27%) are Masorti ("traditional").
The vast majority of Haredi and Dati men wear a yarmulke or some other kind of head covering (in public, some Haredim prefer a fedora or a shtreimel, an Eastern European fur hat). Masorti men are more divided: 42% routinely wear a head covering, and 57% do not. Virtually no Hilonim wear a religious head covering. (Another Fact Tank post details the differences among these four major Jewish subgroups in Israel.)
While wearing a kippa in everyday life is primarily a statement of religious identity, in Israel, certain types of kippot can indirectly be strong clues about some of the wearer's political views. In fact, the term "kippa sruga" (knitted kippa) is sometimes used to describe "religious Zionists," observant Jews who see the Jewish people as religiously entitled to territory in the region.
The data support such an association. Among men who wear colored or patterned knitted kippot, a majority (63%) say the term "Zionist" describes them very accurately. By contrast, most of those who wear a large black fabric kippa (58%) say the "Zionist" label does not describe them accurately; this group is made up largely of Haredim, some of whom have long been ambivalent about the Jewish state.
Majorities of those who wear a colored or patterned knitted or crocheted kippa agree with the statement "Arabs should be expelled or transferred from Israel" (65%) and say peaceful coexistence for Israel and an independent Palestinian state is not possible (58%). Likewise, about seven-in-ten men who wear a black crocheted kippa agree that Arabs should be expelled or transferred, including 45% who strongly agree. And fully three-quarters of those who wear a black crocheted kippa (75%) say a two-state solution is not possible.
When asked about their political ideology, most Israeli Jewish men who wear a black crocheted kippa (70%) or a colored or patterned crocheted kippa (58%) say they are on the political right. Meanwhile, most Jewish men who wear a small black fabric kippa (65%) identify as political centrists, as do most Israeli Jewish men who do not wear a head covering at all (55%). Among those who do not wear a head covering, 12% describe themselves as being on the political left – still a small minority, but much bigger than the virtually nonexistent share of men who do wear kippot who identify with the left.
For a full breakdown of the views of men who wear different types of head coverings on several issues, see the tables in this PDF.

Excellent job on this survey. I was wondering if you could do the same for Jewish women in Israel who wear head coverings whether it be a wig, snood, scarf or a har or not at all.
Quite precise.
How much time and money was spent for this important study?! It's pilpul.
How many people could have been fed or clothed with this same money?
Excellent article covering what usually is not known by American Jewish men.
There are more options than that.
Kippot can be made of suede and velvet and satin, different parts of the Haredi populations wear kippot with a different number of segments (so I've heard)
The Breslever kippa is missing – full size, white with a pompom and slogan so very hard to miss.
The crocheted ones tend to vary in size, often the larger the kippa is the more religious the wearer.
Most folks who wear a Yerushalmi kippah (like the Breslov pattern, but often without the נ נח mantra on the brim) are more likely to be anti-Zionist, as it is mainly associated with the membership of the Eida HaChareidis. On the other hand, I don't think that material is as important as a descriptor for the various types of black kippot, as that often adheres to personal preference rather than the segment of the population.
Segments (4 or 6) is also apparently mostly related to personal preference, although Chassidim will generally tend towards 6-part construction for mystical reasons (I'm non mystically inclined myself, so I'm somewhat derisive of that rationale).
!Who is the author of data visualization? Nice work!
Crocheted not knitted. You can't knit a kipa!

Ask American women what disease they're most scared of, and the vast majority will answer without hesitation: breast cancer. They may even cite the ominous statistic that 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer at some point in her life. But what most women don't realize is that they actually have far more to fear from heart disease, which will strike 1 out of every 3. More than 500,000 women die in the U.S. each year of cardiovascular disease, making it, not breast cancer (40,000 deaths annually), their No. 1 killer.
Women and heart disease? Better believe it. For while most people still think of cardiovascular trouble as mainly a man's problem, the reality is that heart disease has never discriminated between the sexes. In fact, for a variety of complex reasons, the condition is more often fatal in women than in men and is more likely to leave women severely disabled by a stroke or congestive heart failure. True, women don't usually start showing signs until their 60s–about 10 years after men first develop symptoms. And hormones seem to play a protective role in women before menopause. But the common belief that premenopausal women are immune to heart problems is just plain wrong. Heart attacks strike 9,000 women younger than 45 each year.
Statistics from the American Heart Association show that:
?????More women die of heart disease than all forms of cancer combined;
?????More women die from cardiovascular disease ??? one in three women ??? than breast cancer, which kills one in 31 women in the United States;
?????Some eight million women in the United States live with heart disease;
?????But only one in six women in the country consider the disease her greatest health risk, and;
?????Ninety percent of women have one or more risk factors for developing heart disease.
Well-known Cardiologist, Dr. Kota J. Reddy, from the Reddy Wellness Center??From the best selling book,??Eat This Lose That!??explains his book the ways to reverse heart disease and how to prevent it from happening in the first place. For more information??Click Here.

Who says pop and hip-hop can't intertwine? Kanye West and Jay-Z have recruited Beyoncé and Bruno Mars for their new single "Lift Off."
The song is from Kanye and Jay's forthcoming duet album "Watch The Throne," which was originally reported to hit shelves in March. The project's first Lex Luger-produced single "H.A.M." dropped a few month ago to mixed reactions, still the producer behind "Lift Off" boasts high hopes.
"When rappers hear Watch the Throne they gonn' be pissed off. #andproducerstoo," tweeted Jeff Bhasker, who crafted "Lift Off" alongside West.
No official release date for the latest "Watch The Throne" was released at press time.

At the NAMM Show in Anaheim, California, it's not uncommon for the old and the new to cross paths. For more than a century, NAMM has been the place to showcase the latest innovations in music-related products. In 2013, we witnessed the rebirth of a synthesizer that was originally released in the late 1970s, and we were also introduced to a new kind of interface.
Aside from the pickups (and there are significant differences), electric guitars have little inherent sound. Yet the variety of tones that a guitarist can generate from a slab of wood and electronics is staggering.
There are plenty of guitar amplifiers available that feature digital modeling, but the modeling is always used to emulate the characteristics of a specific guitar amplifier. The new GA-112 and GA-212 stage amplifiers from Roland feature a new, advanced COSM modeling technology.

It probably won't alter the porn world in any discernible way, nor is it likely to suddenly become the most talked-about piece of adult entertainment since, uh, whichever celebrity sex tape last had journalists clamoring for an easy and inflammatory pull quote, but Nutabu is nevertheless a very promising new venture that boasts openly of its 4K resolution Ultra HD movies, it's innovative shooting style, and the dozens of gorgeous European gals lining up to work their magic on more pixels than ever before. But, HD aside, what else does Nutabu bring to the table?
Some women like to perform stripteases for their partners. Others enjoy holding hands on a nighttime stroll. Others still get turned on by nothing more than a breeze on their neck. The women of VIPissy, on the other hand, are much more demanding. Whether givers, receivers, or versatile in the art of sharing urine, the European and American hotties featured in these exclusive, original watersports galleries and movies take great care to savor every last drop of the warm, yellow fluid shot their way, bathing and wallowing in it, using it as a temporary lubricant, and even drinking it down faster than you'd polish off a Coors Lite. One thing's for sure, the women of VIPissy sure love to get pissy!
One way to spice up the same old boring hardcore porn shoots is to cancel the 5am wake-up call, get some rest, then roll into Porno Dan's Immoral Live studio for a direct-to-fan broadcast that brings pornstar after pornstar face-to-face with her audience, as well as a heavy dose of hardcore sexuality, of course. Adriana Chechik, Kalina Ryu, and Sophie Dee have all stopped by and shared the Immoral stage with some equally lascivious babes to perform some truly amazing feats of sexual excess. Captured in 1080p HD and supported by the My XXX Pass network, Immoral Live is one of the sickest, sexiest shows in town.
Everyone harbors a secret sexual fantasy or thirty and many turn to porn in order to live them out vicariously through professional adult performers. For some folks, fantasies don't really touch upon the weirder or wilder points of the sexual spectrum but simply refine a sexual encounter to the utmost perfection. Fantasy HD offers such a playground for your sexual imagination, hosting hundreds of stunning adult models in hardcore sex scenes shot with an erotic and, yes, passionate bent.
You've played out your Hatsune Miku CDs, captured every damn Pokemon ever hatched, and rolled the finest California Roll this side of Yokohama, mama! Your journey into Japanese culture is far from complete, though, not with All Gravure still beckoning you inside to stare lustily at the cutest, most charming, and most insanely fuckable women in all of Japan, gravure idols! With HD videos of playful clothed and semi-nude romps, photos capturing those and more hardcore activities, and with legendary ladies like Maria Ozawa and Mikie Hara photographed by some very skilled snappers, All Gravure proves much more exciting than its super-softcore name would imply.
There's more to life than intense sex with teenage girls: there's the art of giving teenage girls sensual oil-aided nude massages, too! Fucked Hard 18 takes a good long look at what makes teen sluts start feeling all warm and tingly, encouraging them to open their minds, spread their legs, and let their friendly neighborhood masseuse fuck them senseless. After all, what's more relaxing than a full-body orgasm and an attentive home-viewing audience appreciating every stunning image in High Definition?
Traveling from various cities and towns from South and Central (and southern-North) America to the land of sunshine and sloppy blowjobs, Hollywood (and its surrounding areas), California, the ladies of Latin Adultery are in search of employment and opportunity, yes, but mostly they just wanna get laid by an American. Whether a uniformed housekeeper after a bigger tip or a demanding office exec just flown in for a conference, there's plenty of variety within this roster of sizzling hispanic-themed Naughty American hardcore movies and, at Latin Adultery, they've never looked better.
With their figure-hugging skirts, delicately buttoned blouses, shiny heels, and silky stockings, secretaries are often the flat-out hottest women in any professional environment. Here at Only Secretaries, one of the very few sites dedicated to these hardworking beauties, you're given an unprecedented viewing opportunity. High Definition videos and 3000px photos detail the curves, the clothes, and the carnal beasts lurking within these generally quite modest and professional working women. Hell, if it makes it even more exciting, you can imagine yourself the CEO of a Fortune 500 company with a corner office, an expense account, a lock on your door, and the most dedicated secretary in your chosen industry. What a job!

text: Inmarsat and Stream partner to deliver M2M anywhere11 Sep 2013 11:50 AM M2M service provider Stream Communications can now add Inmarsat satellite coverage to its existing GPRS, 3G and 4G technologies to ensure connectivity in remote areas and cover outages in terrestrial coverageInmarsat, the mobile satellite communications services provider, has today (11 September 2013) announced the appointment of Stream Communications as an Inmarsat M2M distribution partner.The appointment of UK-based Stream, which provides mobile network resilience, connectivity and SIM/network management to the M2M sector, reflects the growing convergence of satellite communications with existing GPRS, 3G and 4G technologies in connecting M2M applications worldwide.Nigel Chadwick, founding director, Stream Communications, said: "Our partnership with Inmarsat will combine GSM and satellite technology to deliver anytime, anywhere M2M. Satellite connectivity can no longer be viewed as a niche component within the M2M space. To offer our customers the most affordable, consistent and seamless service across multiple territories, satellite services must be considered a vital element in the M2M mix."Already one of the fastest ICT growth sectors, exceeding 25% annual compound growth, according to Compass Intelligence, M2M communications enables the 'internet of things': delivering remote monitoring and control of devices. Typically used by utility infrastructure and transport sector companies, M2M is being driven by new markets such as ehealth, security, smart metering, home automation and as an enabling technology for 'Smart Cities'.For all these applications, Stream Communications will be able to deploy Inmarsat's globally available M2M services, including BGAN M2M, alongside GPRS, 3G and 4G technologies."All these applications would benefit from satellite M2M as part of the connectivity solution," continued Chadwick. "And, it is not simply a matter of ensuring connectivity in areas with little or no terrestrial coverage. Satellite M2M offers assurance against accidental or deliberate mobile network outages and in today's increasingly connected world, connectivity failure can have serious consequences."According to the president of Inmarsat Enterprise, Ronald Spithout, the agreement between Stream Communications and Inmarsat confirms that satellite M2M is now firmly part of the mainstream, operating seamlessly and easily alongside other technologies to ensure that M2M is available wherever it's required."A lot of myths have surrounded satellite services and, for many years, it has been dismissed by some as an expensive solution within the M2M market. I believe that our new relationship with Stream underlines that - with our network reliability, global coverage, easy deployment of terminals and cost efficient services - satellite communications is an essential component in unlocking the potential of M2M.""One example of these myths is cost. What many people don't realise is that mobile satellite communication is often available at a lower cost than GSM roaming rates," continued Spithout."At Inmarsat, we see satellite services as strengthening the connectivity options available to integrators. It can operate efficiently alongside GPRS, 3G and 4G technologies. And, because Inmarsat owns and operates its own global, effectively 3G, satellite network, just one SIM is required for a device, regardless of where in the world it is located. This makes life much simpler," concluded Spithout."Our new relationship with Inmarsat unlocks global opportunities for 'drop-in' local area wireless networks in remote areas, back-hauled over satellite. This could enable monitoring and protection of endangered wildlife in Africa, environmental research deep in the rain forests of South America, or delivering support and safety services to workers mining in remote areas of Asia," said Chadwick. "M2M is already one of the fastest growing sectors in ICT and with the benefits of global satellite network to call upon, the potential is limitless."Wireless magazineLeave a CommentPlease write code to prove you're humanMore on...

LONDON European markets dropped precipitously Monday, despite agreement in Washington to buy up the bad debt there that spawned a global credit crunch and financial panic.
On the London Stock Exchange, Europe's biggest, the FTSE 100 index plunged more than 3% by mid-day, sending the index below the 500 level. In Paris, the CAC 40 index was likewise down more than 3% after noon, and the Frankfurt Dax was following suit.
Concerns over Europe's own banking and credit woes -- including a multi-nation rescue of one of Europe's biggest banks and the bailout of a second bank in Britain -- were driving down markets, said Clem Chambers, CEO of ADVFN, Europe's leading stocks and shares website.
Shares of European banks and financial houses were dropping across Europe, Chambers said. Investors, he said, don't know which banks are in good health, which ones are shaky and whether various rescue plans would ease the liquidity crisis.
"Everybody is dead scared," Chambers said of investors. "Nobody knows where it's going to stop."
Monday's plunge in bank stocks on this side of the Atlantic came amid announcements that:
• The governments of Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg were pumping $16.4 billion into Fortis to keep it solvent. The Belgian-Dutch bank and insurance company is one of Europe's 20 biggest banks.
• The British government was nationalizing troubled Bradford & Bingley, a mortgage bank specializing in loans to buyers of rental property. It was the second British taxpayer bailout of a mortgage lender in a year.
• The German government was guaranteeing credit that lenders were extending to liquidity-stressed Hypo Real Estate Holding, a Munich-based bank and property conglomerate.
Europe's big nations last week had rebuffed urgings from U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson to set up their own bailout plans similar to the $700 billion rescue effort Congress was to take up starting today (Monday).
German Finance Minister Peer Steinbrueck said last week that the year-old global financial crunch was a U.S. problem that it needed to solve. Europe's other big industrial democracies -- Britain, France and Italy -- agreed with him, he said.
However, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown hasn't ruled out following suit if the situation worsens.
Until investors know where banks stand, Chambers said, European markets will remain volatile. "It will be shooting up one minute and down the next," he said. "There's going to be violent mood swings."

Skip to comments.Wisconsin Myths and Facts
Posted on 02/25/2011 7:34:44 AM PST by SeekAndFind
With all the interests, political grandstanding, and cheap punditry surrounding the union demonstrations in Wisconsin, its no surprise that a mythology has developed around Gov. Scott Walkers proposals. Here are some of the most common myths being propagated, and the countervailing facts.
MYTH: Wisconsin is not actually facing a deficit. Rachel Maddow on her February 17 show said, Despite what you may have heard about Wisconsins finances, the state is on track to have a budget surplus this year. I am not kidding.
FACT: Maddow wasnt kidding, but she was wrong. She evidently derived her conclusion by reading to page 2 of a poorly structured report from the Wisconsin Legislative Fiscal Bureau. Page 2 does indeed show a $57 million net balance for Wisconsin on June 30 of this year. But that doesnt account for several other commitments, including Medicaid shortfalls, unpaid bills, and debts to Minnesota, which are spelled out later in the document. The governor of Wisconsin accounted for these in deriving his deficit figures.
MYTH: Wisconsins budget shortfalls are not dire.
FACT: The state is currently projected to face a $3.6 billion deficit in 2013. In FY 2010, Wisconsin took in approximately $12.7 billion in taxes. So depending on income and tax levels in the next two years, obviously that means deficits between 25 and 30 percent of Wisconsin tax revenue by 2013.
MYTH: This is not about the budget deficit. Liberals say that Walkers proposals cant really be about the budget because he is also restricting bargaining rights more generally over the long term. Therefore, Walker doesnt really care about budgets hes performing a power grab for powers sake, QED. This is the theme of Paul Krugmans latest column, which several protesters have echoed on video.
FACT: Even though restricting bargaining rights over the long term wont do anything to reduce the deficit immediately, public-sector unions will become more expensive the more political power they have they, like everybody else, seek greater pay and benefits using the means available to them. So restricting public-sector unions political and bargaining power is obviously a component of restoring sanity to the budget in the long term. Krugmans distinction of the power issue and the budget issue is without a difference.
MYTH: Walker caused the budget shortfall.
FACT: This claim is usually based off of the fact that Walker and the Republican government have enacted corporate-tax cuts. But those cuts havent gone into effect yet, so they arent responsible for this years deficit. And for the future, the state of Wisconsin predicts that the tax breaks will actually increase revenue by stimulating more business in Wisconsin. Liberals may dispute this economic reasoning. But they cant claim the tax cut is part of current fiscal woes.
MYTH: Walker, if he succeeds, will make Wisconsin peculiarly hard on its employees.
FACT: The governor proposes that public employees contribute 12.6 percent of the cost of their health care. That is still less than half of the national average. He proposes that they pay less than 6 percent of their earnings toward their pensions that is in line with the national average.
MYTH: Walker is an extremist taking away collective-bargaining rights.
FACT: Hes taking away the right to collectively bargain on pensions and benefits, but not on wages though wage increases will be capped at the rate of inflation. This is a very modest and sensible reform. Without it, governors and legislatures can be pressured into making unsustainable commitments that because these expenditures do not show up immediately in yearly deficits and will balloon only in the future they will not be held responsible for. Under Walkers proposals, public-sector unions will maintain their ability to collectively bargain for their members quality of life just not to bargain away their grandchildrens. Further, limits on collective bargaining in the public sector are not rare in the U.S.: Right now, only 26 states operate on Wisconsins current model, with collective-bargaining rights for all public employees.
MYTH: Wisconsin teachers live lives of austerity.
FACT: Wisconsin teachers are paid an average salary of $51,000. Annualized to account for their 180-day work year, thats $68,000, and that is in addition to their very fine benefits, pensions, and job security. The median household income that is, total household income, including households with two or more earners was $49,993 in 2009 in Wisconsin. Therefore, after adjusting for the different work years and not including teachers unusually generous benefits a typical single Wisconsin teacher earns 36 percent more than the typical Wisconsin home.
MYTH: Walker blindsided everybody.
FACT: During his campaign, Walker was explicit about his intention to cut wages and benefits and generally take on the public sector. He ran on it. He had a reputation for anti-public-sector action as county executive in Milwaukee. During his campaign, the unions themselves issued flyers warning that he would take away collective-bargaining rights if elected. He never denied that he would take on collective-bargaining privileges we would have heard all about it if he had.
If liberals were surprised, it may be because liberal media outlets were more focused on Christine ODonnells past occult activities than Walkers labor proposals.
MYTH: This is about democracy a familiar rallying cry at leftists protests in Madison.
FACT: Protesters are never explicit about the logic of their claim that the pro-union side of the debate is inherently more democratic. And perhaps with good reason. A set of perverse incentives and structural problems actually make public-sector unions have particularly outsized power relative to the number of people they represent, such that even Left/Democratic icons such as FDR didnt support the unionization of government employees. It can if anything be called especially undemocratic for public workers to strike to hold the resources that belong to the public hostage, in order to advance the interests of a minority. This subverts the normal democratic process of directing public resources (namely voting). Legislators fleeing the state to prevent a vote by the legislative majority the voters of Wisconsin elected is also not very democratic. Not to mention forcing public employees to contribute to unions whose political advocacy they may disagree with. (Governor Walker proposes to allow public employees to opt out of financial contributions to the unions).
MYTH: There is no reason to believe public-sector unions are responsible for budget crises.
FACT: Think about the logic of that claim. How could there not be a burdening effect on state budgets when workers whose livelihoods are dependent upon government expenditures become more organized and more politically active? Second, look at the data: There is a correlation between the unionization of a states public workers and its deficits. There is also a correlation between a states level of unionization and Pews measures of its management quality. Public-sector unions have historically been not just advocates for workers rights, but for bigger government in general.
MYTH: Wisconsins public-sector workers are underpaid relative to comparable private-sector workers. Ezra Klein has approvingly cited an Economic Policy Institute study that purports to demonstrate this fact, and the claim has been echoed elsewhere.
FACT: Admittedly, this is not a matter of simple factual truth and falsehood. But Reihan Salam, Jim Manzi, and Andrew Biggs have cast serious doubt on the study, and given reason to believe the relationship may be the other way around.
MYTH: The Kochs are behind this!
FACT: The Kochs have been behind Scott Walker financially, and can be connected to almost any anti-big-government activism in the United States. But a would-be exposé from the New York Times couldnt establish a single financial interest the Koch brothers would have in busting public-sector unions in Wisconsin. All evidence suggests the Kochs supported Walker because they believe in his policies justice, not their own interests.

I've been waiting for a post like this. There is a lot of good information on Freerepublic, but it's hard to find a good centralized source. Thanks.
Are you trying to say that the lesbian Mad-cow is wrong?
Are you letting lying facts get in the way?? She isn't!
It is still appropriate to send a note of support to gov walker-—
Office of Governor Scott Walker

Good synopsis. Bump for future reference.
yep, a keeper
MYTH: This strike is for the children!
FACT: Uh, when you abandon your post at the schools and force your pupils to march with you against their collective will, all in an attempt to get more money for yourself... it is most assuredly NOT for the children. Annnnnnd - SURPRISE! - your idiot thug leaders have said exactly the same thing: this movement is about power and money, not children.
Thanks for posting this. It is good to have a bare-bones analysis in the midst of all the screeching.
Way to lay it out. Now, with reason and facts on our side (as usual), the Left will have no recourse save wild-eyed spit-spraying emotionalism.

Samia Ghadie reverts back to maiden name after splitPosted on: November 7, 2011 14:36:21
Lonely hearts using online dating sites to find fellow adult singles may be shocked to hear that Samia Smith has divorced husband Matthew after six years of marriage.
The deal was finalised last week and now the Coronation Street actress has changed her name back to her maiden Ghadie.
Samia and property developer Matthew have a two-year-old daughter together named Freya and separated in January after she cited his 'unreasonable behaviour' as a basis for the split.
Weeks after the actress went her own way, she announced that she was dating fellow Corrie star Will Thorp who plays Chris Gray in the soap.
Commenting on the divorce, Samia took to Twitter to tell her fans the latest news. She wrote: "So I've got a new surname everyone... it's my old one."
Samia has been playing Maria Sutherland in the soap since 2000. She is originally from Eccles, Greater Manchester.
