Israel's Moral Right to Exist
Does Israel have a moral right to exist, and why? The answer is yes.
That right is not, however, derived from history, religion, or cultural lineage. The essence of that right is rather validated by Israel's commitment to preserve and defend the rights of its citizens to flourish as free people. This talk will consider the nature of that right, and why it is a grievous injustice to draw moral equivalency between Israel's efforts to live and to prosper, and the efforts of her enemies to undermine and destroy that existence.

David Lewis, a French-born neuropsychologist, is director of research at, and co-founder of, Mindlab International a commercial research company based at the University of Sussex near Brighton in the UK. Mindlab International, which conducts a wide range of studies in Europe, the USA and Canada, specialises in researching mental and physical functioning under real-world conditions.
He has a first class honours degree in psychology and biology from the University of Westminster and a doctorate from the Department of Experimental Psychology at the University of Sussex, where he lectured in clinical psychology and psychopathology before setting up his own research organisation. He is the author of more than thirty books covering a wide range of psychological topics, a lecturer and Sony award-winning broadcaster for a BBC Radio 5 Live series on the psychological relationships between sports stars and their mentors and trainers.
David Lewis has been dubbed the ‘father of neuromarketing’ as he was one of the first psychologists to recognise the potential of measuring brain activity as a means of understanding the responses of consumers. These studies started in the early 1980’s while he was a doctoral student at the University of Sussex and required him to develop both the hardware and software necessary to monitor and record electrical activity in the brain. In the early 90’s his work was featured on BBC TV’s Tomorrow’s World but it would be more than a decade before the importance of the insights provided by such studies became widely accepted.

How to make for the child the beginning of academic year pleasant?
Probably, many of us now with pleasure would return in those days when we went to an elementary school. The carefree childhood, the schoolmates, interesting lessons and favourite teachers. Stop and all eyes on! When you were teen-ager, are you as strongly loved school? Adored teachers? Were on friendly terms absolutely with all children in a class?

The small children's society too has important problems in dialogue with contemporaries, problems with lessons, problems with teachers. The summer has come to an end, the rainy autumn has begun, all is more rare our schoolboys happen in the open air, even more often they should sit over books.
New Student Letterland Living ABC Software
Bring Letterland to life in your classroom with the award-winning Living ABC software. Use with individual children, small groups or the whole class and let them see, hear and interact with the colourful Letterlanders.
To us, the adult, too happens hard to come back to work from holiday. But we on the work, at least, receive money. And, if the chief absolutely flies into a rage, we can leave, having sent the chief where far away. And the child at school gets not wages, and estimations. And send the teacher far away it cannot, even if very much it will want.

More often in the first days of September the schoolboy stays in excellent mood, it is glad to a meeting with the friends, the new acquaintances, new employment. But every day set more and more lessons, teachers swear, to read the book it would not be desirable at all, and the best friend does not allow to write off.
What can you make to cheer up to the small schoolboy and to clear in it interest to study?
Let's begin with clothes. Almost all parents buy in the end of August a new sports suit, trousers, shoes for the child. To us it is important, that things were warm and practical. And here to the child it is important, that things were beautiful and fashionable in its understanding. I remember, how strongly in the first class I would like the Chinese green polo-neck with the water-nymph, and mum dressed up me in expensive suits. At children the fashion, here again it is very important to find the compromise. Important and uses what school writing-materials your child. It is important, that the child did not feel deprived among other children. If all in a class have beautiful bright writing-books and cases, and at it are not present, hardly you will wait from the child of special eagerness to knowledge. Many parents are assured that colourful covers of writing-books will distract the child from study, but it not so! I remember, how it was pleasant to get beautiful writing-books from a portfolio. To do in them lessons it is much more pleasant. It seems to you, what the fifth set of felt-tip pens is absolutely not necessary to your child? Very much even it is necessary! After all in it absolutely other shades.
Whether you mark successes in study? The kid has finished a quarter on one five? It is excellent occasion to bake a pie, to prepare its favourite fried chicken and to note the quarter termination in the family circle! And what, if in a diary except the best mark is the four and a three? Anything terrible! Presence of three not an occasion to cancel tea drinking with a pie. It is important to child to know that you love it not for estimations. Presence of three and the two is your fault, instead of your child. Simply in the following quarter give more attention to joint performance of homeworks, and estimations become much better! It is necessary to cover a celebratory table not only upon termination of a quarter, but also on first of September. After all the beginning of academic year is very important day for the small schoolboy, it is its holiday, and holidays should be marked!
