It's still unclear exactly how much Buster Posey will play this season.
Heck, the Giants haven't even told the face of the franchise what kinds of goals to set for games or plate appearances.
"Mine is: Play as much as I can," Posey said. "I'm sure they might see it otherwise, but we haven't talked about it to this point."
Having turned 34 on Saturday, Posey returns after opting out of the 2020 season (he and his wife adopted premature twin girls) and is 2 ½ years removed from right hip surgery that addressed an impingement and repaired a torn labrum.
Already having dealt with hip tightness this spring training, the six-time All-Star is slated to be the Giants' primary catcher, But he isn't playing first base anymore and the National League is not using the designated hitter in home games.
The 2012 MVP has caught more than 120 games just once in his 11-year career, and he hasn't caught more than 101 in a season since 2016.
How effective Buster Posey will be is perhaps the biggest question facing the Giants this season.
Carlos Avila Gonzalez / The Chronicle
It's fair to guess that Posey could need at least a couple of games off each week early in the season and, if he can prove sturdy, see his starts bumped as the year progresses. But until the Giants say something more definitive, that's just a guess.
Maybe the answer can be found historically by comparing Posey to similarly experienced catchers.
With 961, Posey ranks fifth among active catchers in starts at the position; the top four are the Cardinals' Yadier Molina (1,923), the Angels' Kurt Suzuki (1,356), the White Sox's Jonathan Lucroy (1,032) , and free agent Matt Wieters (1,018).
Molina, a nine-time All-Star, has 162-game averages of .281 with 13 homers and 75 RBIs during his 17 seasons. When he was 34 in 2017, he batted .273 with 18 homers and 82 RBIs.
Suzuki, playing for his fifth team as he enters his 15th season, has 162-game averages of .259 with 14 homers and 75 RBIs. He was 34 in 2018 and batted .271 with 12 homers and 50 RBIs for Atlanta.

Giants have brilliant past and bright future, but what about the present?
Projecting Giants' lineup, rotation: Donovan Solano's fit? Logan Webb's moment?
Lucroy and Wieters — both of whom were 34 last season — are at the other end of the spectrum. Lucroy was limited to two innings in one game because of a herniated disk in his neck; Wieters played just 19 games (18 at catcher) for St. Louis.
It's likely that Posey will finish the season somewhere between the Molina/Suzuki and Lucroy/Wieters examples.
Posey's power has dipped steadily, falling from 22 homers in 2014 to five in 2018. He smacked seven homers in 2019, but the career .302 hitter's average plummeted to .257.
In 11 spring training games this season, Posey is hitting .250 with no home runs. He has two doubles in 20 at-bats.
Baseball-reference.com projects that Posey will hit .256 in 2021, with five homers and 24 RBIs, but the Giants appear to have different hopes.
Asked on KNBR if he could see Posey catching 100-120 games, manager Gabe Kapler said: "That's a big workload for a catcher. … I think nothing's out of the question. We wouldn't take anything off the table for a guy who takes care of himself like Buster does."

Sergei Ostrenko is a Russian director and teacher working in professional theatre about thirty years. His creative way has passed through the Cold War of the 1980s, collapse of the USSR in the 1990s, creative ordeals in the period of the interethnic tension in the Baltic and joining the New Europe.
Ostrenko began his professional carrier in performing arts in 1979 as a stage designer. Later he continued his education as an actor and then as a director. Ostrenko also studied contemporary techniques of performing arts: Feldenkrais, Alexander, Laban, Pilates, Suzuki, Contact and Structural Improvisation, Kinetic Environment, Butoh, method of Eugenio Barba, and psychology of creation. He also spent ten years working in dance theatre.
The creative work of Ostrenko is the synthesis of the Russian Theatre School and the newest experiments in various performing arts. Ostrenko has dedicated many years to exploration of world theatre traditions working with multicultural groups of performing artists. His approach is known internationally as the effective method of growing cohesion and creation of live performances within limited time. Theatre workers from Russia, Europe, America, Asia and Australia who trained with Ostrenko have been using his method of physical training in their own creative practice.
At present the principal professional interest of Ostrenko is investigation of theatre methods between tradition and contemporaneity. International theatre projects under his direction take place in different countries: Russia, Ukraine, Canada, Latvia, Lithuania, Italy, Slovenia, Czech Republic, Sweden, Austria, Malta, and the United Kingdom.
Participants will become acquainted with Ostrenko Method of actor's physical training which was formed and inspired by the greatest figures of the Russian Theatre Tradition, where the name of Meyerhold occupies one of the most significant places.
Participants will become familiar with the principles of Theatre Biomechanics, the psycho-physical approach in contemporary performer's training and its application to practical work - rehearsal process, performance and teaching. It is important to realize and consider Theatre Biomechanics not as a static museum piece, but as a very dynamic developing method practiced internationally as an effective technique in contemporary theatre training. The practical session will develop in the form of various exercises which progress from simple to compound.

When it comes to law firm reputation management, having an attorney quoted in breaking news coverage can provide a real boost. These are high-profile placements that offer national – even international – exposure.
Breaking news opportunities do not just fall out of the sky, however, and require just as much attention as any other element of a comprehensive law firm PR strategy.
Here are five ways to capitalize on breaking news.
Know your attorneys. This is crucial. If you haven't been speaking regularly with your attorneys to understand the work they do, the industries they serve and what they can discuss with media, you are likely to miss out on some great breaking news opportunities. When a story breaks, if you can quickly identify an attorney who would be a perfect fit for coverage, you are well ahead.
Pitch selectively. The window for pitching during breaking news is small. You only have so much time to get your attorney in front of reporters who may be covering the news, so it pays to be smart and selective. Do a quick Google News search to see who's filed stories already, and pitch those reporters first. They will likely be from wire services and the websites of national news outlets, and should want to update their stories as new details emerge. If so, there is the opportunity for them to interview and include your attorney's quotes in an update.
Provide added value. Covering breaking news is stressful and reporters have limited mental bandwidth to deal with source pitches that are not immediately helpful. This is where you can distance your source from all the other pitches flooding in. By ensuring you're adding to the value of the reporter's story, you are more likely to snag an interview. Emphasize in your pitch how your source will add to the story and what perspective your source brings to it. In other words, be a help to the reporter in making his or her story better.
Know when to move on. At some point, reporters are not going to update their stories any longer and any further pitching will just annoy them. When this happens, shift gears and look to what might be the story tomorrow, or next week, and begin revising your pitch to "sell" your source another day. If you're adding value to ongoing coverage, reporters are more likely to respond.
Post clips on your law firm website. Breaking news makes for really good SEO, so ensure you get clips on your website as soon as reporters publish their stories.
Following these steps will help you capitalize on the next round of breaking news – and boost your law firm public reputation. Have a look at this case study to see how we have put these tips to good use.

2-(3,4-epoxycyclohexyl)ethyltrimethoxysilane
There are no data on the toxicokinetics of 2-(3,4-epoxycyclohexyl)ethyltrimethoxysilane (CAS 3388-04-3).
The following summary has therefore been prepared based on validated predictions of the physicochemical properties of the substance itself and its hydrolysis products and using this data in algorithms that are the basis of many computer-based physiologically based pharmacokinetic or toxicokinetic (PBTK) prediction models. Although these algorithms provide a numerical value, for the purposes of this summary only qualitative statements or comparisons will be made.
The main input variable for the majority of these algorithms is log Kow so by using this, and other where appropriate, known or predicted physicochemical properties 2-(3,4-epoxycyclohexyl)ethyltrimethoxysilane or its hydrolysis products, reasonable predictions or statements may be made about their potential absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME) properties.
2-(3,4-epoxycyclohexyl)ethyltrimethoxysilane hydrolyses in contact with water, and has hydrolysis half-lives of 0.2 hours at pH 4, 0.3 hours at pH 5, 4 hours at 7 and 0.1 hours at 9 at 20-25°C, generating [2-(3,4-epoxycyclohexyl)ethyl]silanetriol and methanol. The half-life at 37.5°C and pH 7 is 1.5 hours, and at pH 2 it is 5 seconds.
Human exposure can occur via the inhalation or dermal routes. Relevant exposure would be to the parent substance and the hydrolysis products, due to the hydrolysis rate at body temperature.
The toxicokinetics of methanol have been reviewed in other major reviews and are not considered further here.
When oral exposure takes place it can be assumed, except for the most extreme of insoluble substances, that uptake through intestinal walls into the blood occurs. Uptake from intestines can be assumed to be possible for all substances that have appreciable solubility in water or lipid. Other mechanisms by which substances can be absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract include the passage of small water-soluble molecules (molecular weight up to around 200) through aqueous pores or carriage of such molecules across membranes with the bulk passage of water (Renwick, 1993).
In the acidic environment of the stomach, the parent substance hydrolyses very rapidly (hydrolysis half-life at 37.5°C and pH 2 is 5 seconds). The parent substance has a molecular weight of 246.38 and water solubility of 1400 mg/l, so some systemic exposure would be expected. Similarly, the hydrolysis product, [2-(3,4-epoxycyclohexyl)ethyl]silanetriol has a favourable molecular weight (204.3) and water solubility (1.0E+06 mg/l) for absorption so systemic exposure is likely.
Dermal exposure would be to the parent and the hydrolysis products, as at 25°C and pH 5 the hydrolysis rate is 0.3 hours.
The fat solubility and therefore potential dermal penetration of the parent and the hydrolysis product [2-(3,4-epoxycyclohexyl)ethyl]silanetriol can be estimated by using the water solubility and log Kow values. Substances with log Kow values between 1 and 4 favour dermal absorption (values between 2 and 3 are optimal) particularly if water solubility is high.
The parent substance is water soluble (1400 mg/l) and has a log Kow value (2.5) in the favourable range so absorption into the systemic circulation is likely. However, for the hydrolysis product, [2-(3,4-epoxycyclohexyl)ethyl]silanetriol, although it is highly soluble (1.0E+06 mg/l), the log Kow value (-0.6) indicates it is not likely to be sufficiently lipophilic to cross the stratum corneum and therefore dermal absorption into the blood is likely to be minimal. Therefore absorption of substance-related material will slow down as hydrolysis progresses.
There is a Quantitative Structure-Property Relationship (QSPR) to estimate the blood:air partition coefficient for human subjects as published by Meulenberg and Vijverberg (2000). The resulting algorithm uses the dimensionless Henry coefficient and the octanol:air partition coefficient (Koct:air) as independent variables.
For the hydrolysis product [2-(3,4-epoxycyclohexyl)ethyl]silanetriol the predicted blood:air partition coefficient is approximately 7.4E+11:1 meaning that significant uptake in to the systemic circulation is likely. However, the high water solubility may lead to some of it being retained in the mucus of the lungs so once hydrolysis has occurred, absorption is likely to slow down. Similarly, for the parent, the blood:air coefficient is approximately 1.4+04:1, and uptake is likely.
For blood:tissue partitioning a QSPR algorithm has been developed by De Jongh et al. (1997) in which the distribution of compounds between blood and human body tissues as a function of water and lipid content of tissues and the n-octanol:water partition coefficient (Kow) is described.
For the parent compound, distribution into fat tissue is likely, but distribution to other compartments is likely to be minimal.
For the hydrolysis product [2-(3,4-epoxycyclohexyl)ethyl]silanetriol, distribution into the main body compartments is predicted to be minimal and zero for fat.
Table 5.1: Tissue:blood partition coefficients

[2-(3,4-epoxycyclohexyl)

There are no data on the metabolism of 2-(3,4-epoxycyclohexyl)ethyltrimethoxysilane. However, it will hydrolyse when in contact with moisture to form methanol and [2-(3,4-epoxycyclohexyl)ethyl]silanetriol. Genetic toxicity tests in vitro showed no observable differences in effects with and without metabolic activation.
A determinant of the extent of urinary excretion is the soluble fraction in blood. QPSR's as developed by De Jongh et al. (1997) using log Kow as an input parameter, calculate the solubility in blood based on lipid fractions in the blood assuming that human blood contains 0.7% lipids.
Using the algorithm, the soluble fraction of the parent in blood is 31% and the hydrolysis product [2-(3,4-epoxycyclohexyl)ethyl]silanetriol >99% meaning that once absorbed and hydrolysed it is likely to be eliminated via the kidneys in urine and accumulation is unlikely

Private FM Stations | Big FM | RJ Abhilash | Dhun Badal ke Toh Dekho | cancer | Navin Kshatriya | Indian Cancer Society |
MUMBAI: BIG FM has announced a campaign to fight against cancer in association with the Indian Cancer Society. The radio network has constantly believed in the power of radio not only to entertain listeners but also positively influence their lives. Led by RJ Abhilash, the week long campaign is slated to raise 10 lakhs for Indian Cancer Society. This gesture showcases RJ Abhilash's ability to bring the city together and applauds Mumbai's spirit to help and work towards a unanimous cause.
With #StruggleStories, RJ Abhilash had been running a fun contest around the struggles faced by Mumbaikars since two weeks. A call from a seven-year-old child who is suffering from cancer, describing his father's struggles changed the course of the tonality from an amusingly casual contest to a serious conversation. The child describing his father's struggles struck an emotional chord with RJ Abhilash and he dug deeper to understand the entire story. Post meeting the child's family and the Indian Cancer Society, RJ Abhilash joined the fight against Cancer by taking up a pledge to support people who suffer from the disease and provide help to raise 10 lakhs for their treatment.
Speaking on this campaign, RJ Abhilash said, "The initiative is very close to my heart. The idea of the campaign came into the existence when I came across a story of a seven-year-old caller who has been diagnosed with cancer and is more concerned for his father's struggles to make ends meet. I could relate to it and empathize out of my personal experience. It really hit me hard and I decided to extend a helping hand to cancer-affected people in the best possible manner with the support of Indian Cancer Society."
Commenting on the campaign, a BIG FM spokesperson said, "As a brand with a purpose, BIG FM has always tried to foster change in society for a better tomorrow. We have successfully managed to play a meaningful, relevant and compelling role in the lives of listeners. Keeping in line with the new positioning of Dhun Badal Ke Toh Dekho, I am sure this campaign will help clearly reflect the brand ideology of not being mere entertainers but providing entertainment with a purpose."
Speaking on the association, Indian Cancer Society Navin Kshatriya, said, "We are truly privileged to join hands with Big FM in this initiative. We were really impressed by the interest level shown by RJ Abhilash who proactively reached out and took a pledge to support a group of patients who suffer from the disease and require help with funds for their treatment. This truly will inspire a lot of people in society."
The very empathetic RJ entertains the people of Mumbai in the evening drive time show which airs between 5 pm to 9 pm. Through his show and social media, he urged all Mumbaikars to join the pledge and come together to support people suffering from cancer. He also broke a few myths about cancer, explained the importance of awareness and precaution from experts of Indian Cancer Society.

Genetic Diversity as a Determinant of Viral Pathogenesis and Attenuation
Investigator: Raul Andino-Pavlovsky, PhD
Sponsor: NIH National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease
An RNA virus population does not consist of a single genotype; rather, it is an ensemble of related sequences, termed quasispecies. High mutation rates of RNA viral replication create a 'cloud' of potentially beneficial mutations at the population level, which afford the viral quasispecies a greater probability to evolve and adapt to new environments and challenges during infection. Using poliovirus as our model we developed strategies to increase or reduce the mutation rate of the viral polymerase thus changing the levels of genomic diversity in the viral population. In infected animals, reducing or increasing viral diversity leads to loss of neurotropism and an attenuated pathogenic phenotype. These findings suggest that quasispecies diversity is finely tuned to ensure evolutionary survival of the virus and is a biological determinant for the outcome of poliovirus infection. The long-term goal of this proposal is to examine the significance of genome diversity for virus pathogenesis. Our research will have important consequences for the understanding of viral pathogenesis and for the development of live attenuated viral vaccines. Specifically we propose to: (1) characterize the relationship between polymerase fidelity and the generation of viral quasispecies; (2) determine the relationship between viral quasispecies diversity, fitness and adaptability; (3) characterize the relationship between quasispecies diversity and pathogenesis in vivo, in infected animals, (4) explore the possibility of developing live- attenuated virus vaccines by altering quasispecies diversity.

Simcoe – Haldimand-Norfolk MPP Toby Barrett feels it is time the Ontario government pass legislation that will put in place school policy on peanuts, asthma, diabetes, epilepsy and whatever else may be ailing children.
The local MPP spoke in the Ontario Legislature to his colleague Jeff Yurek's Private Member's Bill called Ryan's Law. The bill is named after 12-year-old Ryan Gibbons who went into medical distress because of an asthma attack on the school yard and was unable to be saved.
He went on to say that school children with epilepsy often require Ativan but unfortunately families struggle to get their school board to administer the drug to epileptic children. Similarly, New Brunswick is the only province where there is education policy to accommodate or protect students with diabetes.
"Let's work together and include as many other issues and ailments in this bill, within a piece of government legislation, so that we can protect as many children as possible," Barrett concluded.

I wrote this piece for Mother Jones, looking at the nearly 1.4 million people in America living in extreme poverty. Support for the piece came from the Economic Hardship Reporting Project.
I am belatedly posting this piece, written for Alternet, about a union victory at a large poultry plant in Russellville, Alabama. It's the same plant I worked at for my book Working in the Shadows, and there had been several previous organizing attempts, which all ended in pretty resounding defeats. So this was a great news story, and proof that even in a tough climate, organizing progress is possible.
In December of 2004, while working at a massive poultry plant in Alabama, Delores Smith slipped on the greasy floor and collapsed into a heap. In considerable pain, she limped over to the nurse's office. The company nurse, however, didn't even bother to look at the injury, instead sending Smith home with ibuprofen. When she got to her car, Smith looked down and noticed that pieces of bone were poking out through her sock. She had broken her ankle in three places.
Have a new piece up at The Nation about the fight on the part of advocates and the Dept of Labor to protect guestworkers, and the counter-offensive by businesses and a bipartisan group of Senators.

Real world music and irresistible enthusiasm
The Jungle Orchestra has been in existence for 42 years, an outstanding achievement – especially for a medium-sized band.
Years ago, the band was considered by an American magazine to be one of the few playing "real" world music. This becomes clear as the band has played in more than 60 (!) countries all over the world, drawing inspiration from all cultures and types of music. In addition, Duke Ellington and Charles Mingus are at the core of Pierre Dørge's sources of inspiration.
Some argue that modern jazz is too serious and lacks humor. This is certainly not the case with the Jungle Orchestra, who play with an irresistible joy and playfulness, whether performing a chorale by Carl Nielsen, swinging, or letting loose in a Dadaist play with language. Creativity has no limits!
If you already know the Jungle Orchestra, you'll be delighted to see them again. If you haven't heard this unique orchestra before, you're in for a treat!

The project builds on the experiences and achievements of a development partnership with the private sector "Female Professionals in Electronics" currently implemented in Ghana by GIZ on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), in cooperation with the Korean International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) and SAMSUNG. Over the past two years, this project has supported four TVET schools with capacity development to implement the supported electronic courses. In addition, and following a cooperative approach, students have also been receiving practical lessons in marketing and maintenance and repair during workplace trainings. In cooperation with the Council for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (COTVET), curricula and material were applied and various campaigns have been implemented to inform the public on female participation in male dominated trades and to encourage young Ghanaian women to engage in non-traditional female trades.
Girls and young women will go through vocational training in digital trades such as coding and computer software designing. A partnership with the Soronko Foundation is envisaged to support their "Tech Needs Girls" movement, a mentorship programme to get more girls to create technology. There is a special focus on girls from vulnerable communities. Students will have the opportunity to join a network of female technology associations and its associated benefits.

The Defence Legislation Amendment (Enhancement of Defence Force Response to Emergencies) Bill 2020, contrary to its name, does nothing to enhance Defence's capacity to respond to natural disasters and other emergencies. Beyond the provisions around superannuation, the bill serves to reduce oversight of the Call-Out process and grant Australian Defence Forces (ADF) personnel, foreign defence force personnel, and foreign police criminal and civil liability immunities.
It is important that the ADF have the ability to provide assistance to civil emergency response capabilities in large-scale responses to climate-related emergencies and disasters when requested to. These circumstances have occurred and will continue to occur, notwithstanding this legislation passing. The Defence Assistance to the Civil Community (DACC) will continue to stipulate the role of the ADF when providing assistance in domestic natural disasters. We note evidence given to the Royal Commission into Natural Disaster Arrangements by officials of the ADF which state that DACC arrangements were sufficiently flexible and effective during Operation Bushfire Assist and question elements of this bill which state otherwise.1
We express significant concern about the provisions of the Bill which relate to immunities, the constitutional sources of power, the processes around calling out Reserve members, and human rights implications.
We do not accept the characterisation made in the main committee report that the concerns raised by constitutional, legal, and policy experts are peripheral to the substance of this legislation. As demonstrated by the expert evidence given to the committee, these issues are central to this legislation.
The Australian Greens note the analysis of the majority committee report, however, we do not support the conclusions and recommendations which emerge from the interpretations of evidence given during the inquiry. We therefore disagree with the majority committee report recommendation that the bill be passed expeditiously and unamended.
The Greens do not support the passage of this Bill. We do not believe that this bill is sufficiently justified. The constitutional and civil liberties risks, and the risks to ADF members articulated by experts and stakeholders during the course of this inquiry are significant and unmitigated by evidence given to the committee during the course of the inquiry.
We do, however, note the superannuation related benefits outlined in Schedule 3 and agree with the main committee's view on this that it is a necessary and important change to ensure that Reservists are appropriately compensated for their service. We foreshadow an amendment to the bill which would separate this element from the rest of the bill.
Scrutiny by Other Committees
The Scrutiny of Bills Committee
The Scrutiny of Bills Committee reported on this bill and drew attention to issues pertaining to parliamentary oversight, immunity provisions, time limits and consultation, and scope of powers.2 Notably that:
The calling out of Reserves and the provision of ADF assistance in domestic natural disaster situations are very significant and should be subject to parliamentary oversight.3
The appropriateness of granting civil and criminal immunities remains unanswered and determining whether these immunities hold being dependent on whether someone has acted in good faith is perhaps limited.4
There is no time limit for how long a call-out order remains in force.5
We note the analysis of this commentary in the main committee report and contend that the issues raised by the Scrutiny of Bills Committee continue to be relevant and were not sufficiently addressed in the evidence given to this committee's inquiry process.6
Contrary to the evidence given by the Departmental officials during the hearing, we do not agree that the granting of both criminal and civil immunities to ADF personnel, foreign defence personnel, and foreign police contained within this bill appropriately balances the rights of civilians to legal remedy for negligent and damaging behaviour. It is our position that the Department of Defence was not able to sufficiently address the concerns of the considerable number of submitters who contested the provision of broad immunities.
We do not support the extension of any immunities to foreign forces and police. We note that the main committee report outlines the number of submissions which recommend against including this provision and we agree with their view.7
Further, there is a significant lack of clarity contained within this bill in relation to what legal remedies are available to civilians in circumstances where ADF and foreign personnel have acted inconsistently with their obligations to provide assistance. This matter requires further consideration and clarification to ensure that the right to access the justice system is well understood and reflected in the legislation.
Constitutionality and Immunity Provisions
We are very concerned with the issues brought up in evidence to the committee by constitutional law expert, Professor Anne Twomey. Professor Twomey linked her substantial concerns with the constitutionality of this legislation to the immunity provisions. In her submission she stated that:
This [constitutional] anomaly will be aggravated by proposed s 123AA of the Defence Act. It will provide immunity to all members of the Defence Force, both regulars and reserves, when acting in the performance of their duties if the duties are in respect of the provision of assistance to prepare for or respond to a natural disaster or other emergency. But this raises the question of when such matters are within the member's duties, which goes back to the question of whether there is constitutional power to deal with such matters.8
In her evidence to the committee, Professor Twomey elaborates on this point, stating that:
...the problem here is that the immunity is tied to the word 'duties' in the legislation, and these duties would not formally exist if they're not supported adequately by the constitutional powers. So I think in that respect the immunity is actually probably in many cases just not effective.9
This evidence demonstrates that the constitutional ambiguities that surround DACC and the source of power that Defence relies upon to determine the duties of ADF personnel are not a settled constitutional matter and directly interact with the proposed provisions of this bill. We are concerned about the significant implications that this complicated legal matter would have for civilians, for ADF personnel who may find themselves not protected by immunities and the subjects of legal actions, and more broadly we are concerned that this complicates an already messy area of law.
Proportionality and Good Faith Issues
We are concerned that the granting of immunity from criminal liability unacceptably provides protections for ADF personnel, and foriegn personnel, beyond those granted to all state and territory emergency responders. We are of the view that ADF personnel would be undertaking fundamentally civilian tasks in the circumstances that this bill concerns itself with and we do not think that it is necessary or appropriate to water down the rule of law.
Further, we note that immunity provisions granted to state and territory emergency responders do not majoritively include immunity from both civil and criminal liability. Whilst we agree that ADF personnel should be appropriately protected in order to be able to carry out their duties, we do not see that these should be over and above those granted to first responders and state-based emergency personnel.10
Additionally, we agree with the submission made by Australians for War Powers Reform that criminal immunity from liability is unwarranted.11
We are not satisfied that immunities should be granted against a standard of "good faith". We share the concerns raised in Kellie Tranter's submission to the committee, arguing that:
The Bill extends immunity for ADF personnel from civil and criminal liability as long as their acts are done in 'good faith'. This is a very low and imprecise bar, especially when combined with the breadth of the expression 'other emergencies'. I also note the Bill extends immunity to disaster preparedness. Preparation does not have the time constraints of an actual emergency, and in that situation there is no reason to provide any immunity to any authority for legal liability for any acts or omissions in taking those preparatory steps.12
Mr Andrew Ray and Ms Charlotte Michalowski explored the issue of "good faith" further in their evidence to the committee, suggesting that perhaps a higher standard such as proportionality may be more appropriate.13 They also outline in their submission the lack of clarity around what "good faith" can be interpreted as, stating that:
...there are significant concerns regarding the use of the limitation of 'good faith' contained in the immunity provision. Good faith has been widely used in immunity provisions, however academic commentators have highlighted that the exact scope of the term is unclear, with few cases having applied the test in relation to immunities. At its widest the immunity may protect anyone who subjectively believes they are acting in good faith. Alternatively, in some cases courts have considered competing policy considerations to weigh up whether an action should fall within a good faith exception. It is unclear which standard would be applied were the application of immunity contained in s 123AA challenged. This leads to the situation where it is unclear when an individual could rely on the immunity, a position that is at odds with the stated justification of the amendment.14
Scope of 'natural disaster and other emergency'
The proposed subsection 123AA(2) provides that the Minister may, in writing, direct the ADF to provide assistance in relation to "natural disaster or other emergency." In our view, the term "other emergency" is deliberately undefined and left to unacceptably broad interpretation. We note that the main committee report alludes to concerns made by a number of submissions and we agree that there needs to be greater definition and explanation for what circumstances other emergencies could be understood as.15
Non-Use of Force
The Greens are deeply concerned that the bill does not proscribe the non-use of force in the legislation. Despite evidence from Defence that indicates that this bill does not permit the use of force by Defence personnel when assisting in natural disasters and other emergencies, there are significant and justifiable concerns from submitters to the inquiry and in the community more broadly that remain unanswered should this legislation not explicitly rule the use of force out.
As stated by Professor Twomey:
...if you wish to confine the legislation in a way that makes it clear that the type of actions and duties relating to civil aid to the community are not to involve coercive action—which indeed is clear in DACC—then you could well say so in the legislation if you so chose.16
This sentiment was echoed by the Australia Defence Association who argued in their evidence to the committee that any confusion about the non-use of force could have been clarified in a definition of emergency that explicitly ruled out the use of force.17
Further, we are concerned by the position Defence has taken when questioned on whether or not they will prescribe the non-use of force. In an answer provided on notice, Defence articulated the below:
Defence has two main concerns with amending the Bill as suggested:
Such an amendment would be redundant. The Bill as currently written does not authorise the use of force or coercive powers. The immunity provision would not enable the ADF to, for example, use force or coercive powers to disperse a protest or otherwise quell unrest.
Such an amendment could potentially have unintended consequences, inadvertently limiting Defence's ability to provide assistance or the operation of the immunity provision in situations where Defence is providing assistance. For example, it would be important not to inadvertently prevent ADF members from using force consistently with any other member of the Australian community (such as in self-defence).18
We do not accept that explicitly proscribing the non-use of force in this legislation is redundant, this assertion goes against the considerable weight of evidence provided to the committee by policy and legal experts. Further, we do not agree that this prescription would inadvertently prevent ADF members from exercising self-defence. This could be remedied, again, by greater attention to detail and further explanation in the legislation.
There are significant constitutional ambiguities around the source of power that can be drawn upon to use ADF personnel in civil disaster situations which remain unanswered by this bill and, as stated previously, directly affect provisions of this bill.
This point is made clear in the Bills Digest by the Parliamentary Library when it states that:
The manner in which the proposed amendments are drafted raises the question whether the Bill, as well as providing certain immunities, provides the Minister with a statutory power to direct use of the ADF and other Defence resources in certain 'natural disasters and other emergencies'. The Minister already has some non-statutory executive power to direct assistance. The extent of that non-statutory power depends on the scope of the Commonwealth's 'nationhood power' which is not regarded as settled in constitutional law. It is possible that these provisions expand the existing executive power.19
Further, evidence provided by Professor Twomey in both her submission and during the hearing clearly articulate that there are substantial and unresolved constitutional matters relating to the legal basis upon which the ADF can assist in domestic situations. In part of her evidence, Professor Twomey stated that:
The constitutional basis for defence aid to civil community relies on the prerogative power, not the statutory power. That ties back to the executive power and the nationhood power, which are pretty unclear.20
Professor Twomey also stated that:
[The constitutional issue] It is a murky, unclear area. Hopefully, the bushfire royal commission report will help and there will be some deep consideration about trying to rationalise this and put it onto a sensible statutory basis to resolve some of these questions. I don't think using the executive power as a way of getting around the fact you're not sure whether your legislation will work is of itself an adequate answer for the poor people in the Defence Force who, in the end, are being told to go out and do these things.21
Call-Out Arrangements and Processes
The proposed changes to the process of a call-out order are unnecessary as there is an existing mechanism that accommodates for urgency that allows the Minister to by-pass the Executive Council.
The bill seeks to normalise the "urgency" arrangements made to issue a compulsory call-out order. This means that instead of going through the Executive Council to test whether there are sufficient regular ADF personnel available and whether volunteer reserves had been adequate to cover an existing need, it is left at the discretion of the Minister and the Prime Minister to make the request to the Governor General as the commander -in-chief of the Defence Forces.22
We agree with the comments made by Professor Twomey in her submission which summate that the proposed changes are unjustified:
If the Commonwealth Government has not yet worked out a means of instantly contacting all members of the Federal Executive Council to inquire of their immediate availability for a meeting, then it is an indictment on its management. Getting a person to sit down and ring each of them in turn is, frankly, absurd. It is hardly an excuse for changing the legislation. Rather, it should be a reason for changing communication methods. In any case, to state the obvious, if the situation is so urgent that there is no time to go through the system to organise a meeting of the Federal Executive Council, the Minister could be legitimately satisfied that 'for reasons of urgency, the Governor-General should act with the advice of the Minister alone' under the existing provision. Accordingly, there is no justification to make this change.23
We also note the arguments and observations made in submissions by the Australia Institute and the Australians for War Powers Reform which similarly question the necessity for amending the call-out process in the proposed way and we agree with their positions on this.24
It is our position that this bill attempts to set a dangerous precedent for normalising the compulsory call-out of reservists - taking them away from their ordinary jobs and lives where normal ADF personnel and volunteer reservists, and state-based civil emergency services may be more appropriate and sufficient.
Scrutiny and Consultation
The Greens are concerned that the proposed "streamlining" of the call-out processes remove a level of oversight that comes with screening call-out orders through the Executive Council.
We are also concerned by the lack of parliamentary scrutiny and accountability that comes with giving the Minister authority to give advice to the Governor General about call-out orders. We share the concerns raised by Mr Andrew Ray and Ms Charlotte Michalowski in their evidence to the Committee which largely reflect the issues outlined by the Scrutiny of Bills Committee:
...there are pathways to improving efficiency that do not require removal of legitimate scrutiny by our elected representatives...The proposed provision acts as a blanket exclusion to parliamentary oversight, with little justification having been provided by the Minister to the Parliament, beyond advocating the pursuit of efficiency.25
We echo the recommendations made in submissions and in evidence to the committee that argue that compulsory call-out orders ought to be subject to disallowance by the Senate by way of legislative instrument.26
Explicit approval from states and territories must be sought before authorising the use of ADF personnel (including and especially foreign defence personnel and police) in domestic emergency response.
In its submission to the committee, the Australia Institute stated that:
The Australia Institute considers that it would be entirely inappropriate for the Commonwealth to decide on its own motion to provide assistance in circumstances where there was no explicit request from the relevant states or territories. Hence we recommend that, at Schedule 1, Part 1, Subsection 28(4), the bill require that the Minister advise the Prime Minister that a state or states or a territory or territories have expressly requested Commonwealth assistance in the form of Defence personnel and equipment.27
We note that this position was also largely held by Mr Andrew Ray and Ms Charlotte Michalowski in their submission to the inquiry.28
The Greens maintain that in order to ensure the greatest level of Commonwealth-State/Territory cooperation and the effective use and allocation of resources, explicit approval for the provision of ADF personnel and resources must be sought from the States and Territories.
Human Rights Implications
Neither the explanatory memorandum nor the evidence given to the committee by Defence make an effort to sufficiently explain and explore the human rights implications of this bill. As the explanatory memorandum concludes:
The Bill is compatible with human rights because it promotes and advances the right to just and favourable conditions of work, and does not otherwise engage any human rights.29
We disagree with this conclusion and contend that it fails to understand and balance the rights of civilians, particularly in relation to accessing the justice system to seek legal remedy for negligent and damaging behaviour, and other civil and political rights.
We agree with Australians for War Power Reforms who argued that the bill ought to quarantine all of the new call-out provisions to DACC situations and provide explicit analysis on the human rights it does not engage with or intend to engage with.30
The Australian Greens recommend that this bill not proceed.
Lieutenant General Greg Bilton, in his evidence to the Royal Commission into National Natural Disaster Arrangements, noted that the DACC framework had proven to be flexible and effective in the provision of defence support to the states and territories through natural disasters and emergencies in Australia, and he particularly made reference to Operation Bushfire Assist. See here https://naturaldisaster.royalcommission.gov.au/system/files/exhibit/DEF.8002.0001.0001.pdf (paragraph 31); Vice Admiral David Johnston AO Royal Australian Navy, Vice Chief of the Defence Force also gave evidence to the Royal Commission into Natural Disaster Arrangements and did not indicate issues relating to decision-making delays or the effectiveness of DACC arrangements. See here https://naturaldisaster.royalcommission.gov.au/system/files/exhibit/DEF.8001.0001.0001.pdf.

Q: ezANOVA: access to aov content I am using ezANOVA to calculate ANOVAs. I would like calculate a Bayesian measure, which makes use of the values returned in the aov object.
However, I have difficulties accessing the values that are returned in the aov object and consequently do not know how to address them in the function I use for the Bayesian measure.
Let me give an example...
data("ANT") ## example data
rt_anova = ezANOVA(
  data = ANT[ANT$error==0,]
  , dv = rt
  , wid = subnum
  , within = .(cue,flank)
  , return_aov = T
)
rt_anova

We now get the following for the main effect of cue:
Stratum 2: subnum:cue

Terms:
                  cue Residuals
Sum of Squares  225485.61   8970.99
Deg. of Freedom         3        57

I now need to access the Degrees of Freedom as well as the Sums of Squares, but I currently have no clue how I must admit (they do not seem to accessible via something like
rt_anova$aov$........

Any suggestions are very welcome!
THANKS!

A: If you look at rt_anova$aov, you'll see it is of class aovlist. (class(rt_anova$aov)).  Do some further exploration (names(rt_anova$aov)), and you can figure out what you need might be rt_anova$aov$'subnum:cue'
