Prayer. ———— Requests to move Adjournment of Dáil under Standing Order 32 An Ceann Comhairle: Before coming to the Order of Business I propose to deal with a number of notices under Standing Order 32. I will call on Deputies in the order in which they submitted their notices to my office. Deputy Finian McGrath: I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise an issue of national importance and concern, namely, the urgent need to support the Northside Community Law Centre in Coolock. I commend the centre for its valuable work right across the north side of Dublin and call on the Minister for Social Protection to support it with adequate funding in 2010 and 2011. Deputy Martin Ferris: I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to debate the urgent need to address road safety on the N21 between Abbeyfeale and Newcastlewest to prevent further road accidents and loss of life, and the need to ensure that the proposals to upgrade the road, prevented by Limerick County Council, are proceeded with and the council is provided with the proper support from the National Roads Authority in terms of funding. An Ceann Comhairle: Having considered the matters raised, they are not in order under Standing Order 32. Order of Business The Tánaiste: It is proposed to take No. a17, statements on banking and; No. 17, ráitis faoin tuarascáil maidir le straitéis 20 bliain don Ghaeilge. It is proposed, notwithstanding anything in Standing Orders, that: (1) the proceedings on No. a17 shall, if not previously concluded, be brought to a conclusion after 95 minutes and the following arrangements shall apply: (i) the statements shall be confined to a Minister or Minister of State and to the main spokespersons for Fine Gael, the Labour Party and Sinn Féin, who shall be called upon in that order, who may share their time, and which shall not exceed 15 minutes in each case; (ii) a Minister or Minister of State shall take questions for a period not exceeding 30 minutes; (iii) a Minister or Minister of State shall be called upon to make a statement in reply which shall not exceed five minutes; (2) the proceedings on No. 17 shall, if not previously concluded, be brought to a conclusion at 3.30 p.m. today and the following arrangements shall apply: (i) the speech of a Minister or Minister of State and of the main spokespersons for Fine Gael, the Labour Party and Sinn Féin, who shall be called upon in that order, shall not exceed 15 minutes in each case; 477 Order of 18 November 2010. Business [The Tánaiste.] (ii) the speech of each other Member called upon shall not exceed ten minutes in each case; (iii) Members may share time; (iv) a Minister or Minister of State shall be called upon to make a speech in reply which shall not exceed ten minutes. An Ceann Comhairle: There are two proposals to be put to the House today. Is the proposal for dealing with No. a17, statements on banking agreed to? Deputy Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: It is not agreed. Deputy Enda Kenny: It is not agreed to. I would like to say something about this. First, every other business should be suspended for the day—— Deputies: Hear, hear. Deputy Enda Kenny: ——until we deal with this matter. It is rich for the great republican party to come to the House on 18 November 2010 and tell us we will have statements about straitéis don Ghaeilge. Wrap the green flag around me and preserve the national language on a day when we now have confirmation of the handing over of our economic independence to personnel from abroad. An Ceann Comhairle: I do not propose to allow a discussion on this matter on the Order of Business. Deputy Enda Kenny: I know you do not. (Interruptions). An Ceann Comhairle: Just a moment. There is a proposal on the Order of Business today that we have contributions and a question and answer session immediately afterwards. Deputy Finian McGrath: There is a crisis in the country. Deputy Enda Kenny: Ninety five minutes. Deputy Brendan Howlin: Ten minutes. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan: It is a limited debate. An Ceann Comhairle: We should not get into the business of anticipating what might be said later on. It is singularly inappropriate to abuse the Order of Business in such a manner. Deputy Enda Kenny: After almost 95 years the Government gives us 95 minutes to deal with the banking situation. This day represents the conclusion of the type of politics practised by the Tánaiste’s party — cronyism, sleeveen politics, dig outs, nods and winks—— An Ceann Comhairle: Deputy Kenny. Deputy Enda Kenny: ——how’s your father, buy them off, of gross incompetence in the State—— Deputy Bernard J. Durkan: Hear, hear. An Ceann Comhairle: Deputy Kenny. Deputy Enda Kenny: ——and make the people pay at the end of the day. 478 Order of 18 November 2010. Business Deputy Timmy Dooley: You know all about that. Deputy Michael Ring: Go to the country. An Ceann Comhairle: All those points can be made when the discussion commences immedi- ately after the Order of Business, not on the Order of Business. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan: This is the Order of Business. Deputy Enda Kenny: I do not accept the proposal from the Tánaiste. I am pleased to see the Minister for Transport, Deputy Dempsey, is sitting beside her. He did not recognise what was going on in the past week. He suggested they were discussions of fiction. I suppose the Minister for Tourism, Culture and Sport, Deputy Hanafin, who is absent, will record the per- sonnel from the ECB and the Commission—— An Ceann Comhairle: Deputy Kenny is anticipating the debate that is set out in the Order of Business. Deputy Enda Kenny: ——as tourists if they are in this country for two nights. An Ceann Comhairle: Deputy Kenny should co-operate with the Chair. Deputy Enda Kenny: I want you to know, a Cheann Comhairle—— An Ceann Comhairle: I could understand Deputy Kenny wishing to make those points if we did not have provision for statements and questions and answers, but we have provisions for both. Deputy Tom Hayes: You should co-operate with Deputy Kenny. Deputy Enda Kenny: I want you to understand, a Cheann Comhairle. I heard the British Chancellor yesterday talk about giving loans to the State. I understand there is no Machiavel- lian intent—— Deputy Timmy Dooley: Deputy Kenny might have been looking for it last week. Deputy Michael Ring: Are you not ashamed? Keep your mouth shut. Deputy Enda Kenny: ——but the consequence of it would be that the British Government would give the State money so that AIB could pay off British banks and the Irish taxpayer would pay for that. An Ceann Comhairle: We will not have this debate on the Order of Business. There is provision to make all those points subsequent to the Order of Business during statements and questions and answers. Deputy Alan Shatter: The Ceann Comhairle is making a disgrace of himself. He is undermin- ing the credibility of this House. An Ceann Comhairle: I am not undermining the credibility of this House. Deputy Shatter will withdraw the remark or leave the House. Deputy Alan Shatter: The Leader of the Opposition is entitled to make known his views on why we are not agreeing the Order of Business. 479 Order of 18 November 2010. Business An Ceann Comhairle: Deputy Shatter will leave the House. Deputy Alan Shatter: I will not leave the House. You are making a disgrace of this House. An Ceann Comhairle: Deputy Shatter will withdraw the remark. Deputy Alan Shatter: We want more time to discuss an issue of major national importance. An Ceann Comhairle: Deputy Shatter will withdraw the remark. He is impugning the integ- rity of the Chair of this House. That is out of order. Deputy Shatter will leave the House. Deputy Alan Shatter: The veil of Fianna Fáil is clouding your perception of how to deal with this matter. You are disgracing the Chair. An Ceann Comhairle: Deputy Shatter will leave the House. Deputy Alan Shatter: I will not. An Ceann Comhairle: I will adjourn the Dáil for ten minutes. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan: That is a lovely response to the economic situation. Sitting suspended at 10.40 a.m. and resumed at 10.50 a.m. An Ceann Comhairle: Could I request Deputy Shatter—— Deputy Enda Kenny: May I say something? An Ceann Comhairle: One moment until I deal with this matter. I request that Deputy Shatter withdraw the remark or leave the House. Deputy Alan Shatter: My entitlement to be in this House is set in the Constitution and is based on the election of my constituents. At a time of national emergency—— An Ceann Comhairle: We are not going to get into that debate at this point, Deputy.

  • Humanitarian Access in Conflict Areas Student Officer: Madelief Van Den Nieuwenhof Position: Deputy Chair
    Research Report Leiden Model United Nations 2017 ~ fresh ideas, new solutions ~ Forum: General Assembly Third Committee Issue: Humanitarian access in conflict areas Student Officer: Madelief van den Nieuwenhof Position: Deputy Chair Introduction Humanitarian access comprises these two concepts: Humanitarian actors' ability to reach populations in need, and the affected population’s access to assistance and services. Access is therefore a fundamental prerequisite to effective humanitarian action. Full and unimpeded access is essential to establish operations, move goods and personnel where they are needed, implement distributions, provide health services and carry out other activities, and for affected populations to fully benefit from the assistance and services made available. Sadly, not all humanitarian aid is so easy to achieve, due to many constraints and circumstances. Many of these constraints are being worked on but still many, if not all of these problems are not fully solved yet. Conflict areas always have different circumstances which changes the ways for humanitarian access and for the population to access these services. For example, health workers and medical facilities are still receiving threats and medical structures are targeted and destroyed in Syria. Also, because of the danger that patients often receive going to these hospitals, looking at threats and torture, makes them doubt or scared to still receive this medical help. This makes it hard for both parties, the population and the humanitarian actors to fully endorse the needed aid. Definition of Key Terms ICRC: International Committee of the Red Cross MSF: Médecins Sans Frontières UNHAS: The United Nations Humanitarian Air Service DRC: Democratic Republic of Congo WFP: World Food Programme Research Report Leiden Model United Nations 2017 ~ fresh ideas, new solutions ~ General Overview In situations of disaster or civil unrest, national authorities have primary responsibility for the wellbeing of those affected.

The answer? We must become more nimble, more responsive and more relational than ever before. And throughout 2019, our association has done just that. With groundbreaking partnerships like the Lung Ambition Alliance, we set the ambitious goal of doubling five-year survival by focusing on solutions in screening and early detection, delivering innovative medicine and enhancing the quality of care. The IASLC Staging Project and Early Lung Imaging Confederation Project are foundational components of this bold initiative. By investing more in our staff and operations, we committed ourselves to improving the Dr. Tetsuya Mitsudomi, IASLC President & experience of our members and becoming more attuned to your diverse needs. Through leveraging the expertise of Dave Mesko, IASLC Chief Executive Officer our member-based committees, we provided guidance on some of the most topical issues in lung health - including important position statements on tobacco control and e-cigarettes.

  • 45Th Annual EABCT Congress Jerusalem, Israel August 31-September 3, 2015 Dear Colleagues
    European Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Therapies CBT: A Road to Hope and Compassion for People in Conflict 45th Annual EABCT Congress Jerusalem, Israel August 31-September 3, 2015 www.eabct2015.com Dear Colleagues With less than four months to go, we are in the final stages of preparations to host the 45th EABCT Congress. We hope to replicate the success of the World CBT Congress held in 1980 in Jerusalem. The list of keynotes, workshops, skills sessions, symposia and workshops suggests that we will. The program will include cutting edge research as well as diverse clinical presentations delivered by world renowned CBT clinicians and researchers. The content is being developed equally for scientists, practitioners and scientist-practitioners. We are committed to present cross-cultural topics and CBT related potential to peace-making and conflict resolution. We plan interesting and entertaining cultural and social activities. Israel is a modern, multicultural, “startup nation”. Jerusalem is a 3000-year old city, sacred to three major religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Its uniqueness, lying in the meeting of past and present makes it an ideal city to tour. You will have a chance to experience both historical and religious magnificence, as well as museums, art galleries, many different cultural districts, modern shopping centers and attractive entertainment possibilities, restaurants and nightlife spots. Jerusalem is also an ideal base for interesting excursions. Because Israel is a small country, participants can easily reach the local attractive sites, such as the Mediterranean Sea, the Dead Sea, the historic Galilee and more. You will experience an impressive, educational and enjoyable 45th EABCT Congress that you will recall for years to come! We are looking forward to greeting you here! Sofi Marom, PhD Prof.

  • Introduction the Cinemas of Italian Migration: from Il
    INTRODUCTION THE CINEMAS OF ITALIAN MIGRATION: FROM IL CAMMINO DELLA SPERANZA (1950) TO INTO PARADISO (2010) SABINE SCHRADER AND DANIEL WINKLER The films Il cammino della speranza (The Road to Hope Pietro Germi, 1950) and Into Paradiso (Into Paradise Paola Randi, 2010) constitute the time span for the present volume The Cinemas of Italian Migration: European and Transatlantic Narratives. In Il cammino della speranza, Pietro Germi stages the arduous path of Southern Italian mining workers and their families to France; it counts among the early Italian films that pick out emigration as their central theme. This film is in many regards paradigmatic for Italian cinema of migration. It gives shape to the narratives of hope and disappointment in conflict with italianità. The 2010 low-budget comedy Into Paradiso also bears the hope for a new beginning in its title, but it narrates immigration in today’s Italy. “Paradiso” is the great promise for former cricket champion Gayan from Sri Lanka, but at first “Paradiso” is nothing but the name of a run-down multi-ethnic tenement in Naples where he moves into a room, and, by way of absurd complications, meets an unemployed academic and a corrupt politician. The title of the introduction, “From ‘Il cammino della speranza’ to ‘Into Paradise,’” however, not only refers to the cinematographic history of migration, but also to different ways of presentation. In order to accommodate this scope, our corpus is recruited, on the one hand, from films that have migration within and into Italy as their theme, and on the other hand, from those dealing with Italian emigration.
