We were delighted to welcome Professor Ichinose (The University of Tokyo) to Oxford to deliver the Annual Uehiro Lectures in Practical Ethics in 2010.
The lecture series was entitled 'Modes of Responsibility'.
His main research interests are causation, probability, and the concept of person. Publications include in 1997, 'The Rise of Person-Knowledge Theory: The Moment of John Locke' published by The University of Tokyo Press (in Japanese) and in 2001, The Labyrinth of Cause and Effect' published by Keiso publishing company (in Japanese) and in 2006, 'The Labyrinth of Cause and Reason: The Philosophy of "Because"' published by Keiso publishing company (in Japanese). In 1998 he won the Watsuji Tetsuro Prize of Culture and the Nakamura Hajime Prize.
In these lectures, I will discuss criminal responsibility from a philosophical point of view (including some Japanese perspectives). I will scrutinize these issues by distinguishing three perspectives on criminal responsibility, namely, those of the "victim", "offender", and "punishment". My aim in discussing the issue of victims is to raise and analyse a question of who constitutes a victim, particularly in the case of homicide. This question is examined by confronting a contemporary problem in the metaphysics of death, that is, whether dead people could suffer harm or not. Secondly, I will investigate how to estimate, as far as is scientifically possible, how responsible an offender is for their offence. This problem would be tackled by taking into account the contemporary debates on free will and neuroethics. In considering this issue, I intend to adopt a probabilistic approach and propose concepts of "degrees of freedom and responsibility". Thirdly, I will discuss the new and traditional problem of how to justify a system of punishment. In particular, my focus here is upon the issue of capital punishment and the theory of human rights which forms a basis of the system of punishment (notwithstanding the fact that capital punishment has been abolished in the UK). My approach to this issue might be called "impossibilism" rather than retentionism or abolitionism. These three topics which I will consider roughly correspond to three basic modal concepts, namely, "actuality", "possibility", and "necessity (i.e. normativity)" respectively, so I have called these lectures "Modes of Responsibility".
Who is a victim of homicide?
Abstract: In this lecture I will discuss the question of an ontological status of a victim of homicide in order to clarify the significance of homicide in contexts of legal and moral philosophies. The starting point is in that the victim must be understood as a non-existence by definition. Does that victim suffer harm? If we answer yes as we usually suppose, we should face a traditional view of death proposed by Epicurus, which I will call 'the harmlessness theory of death.' I will tackle this problem by considering causal influence brought about by what the victim left before their death. I will also mention the issue of posthumous predications, suggesting proper semantics for that through the argument on the causal influence of the victim.
Abstract: In this lecture I will examine an aspect of the traditional problem of freedom and responsibility by taking a biological point of view into account, in order to aim at clarifying criminal responsibility. First, I will raise two of my strategies in confronting the issue of freedom and responsibility, namely, making the distinction of tenses and introducing the notion of degrees. Then, I will examine two proposals concerning freedom and responsibility from viewpoints of life science, i.e. Libet's experiments and criminal genes. Finally, I will try to apply my strategies to those proposals. What I want to highlight is how intrinsically uncertain criminal responsibility is.
Abstract: In this lecture I will take a historical approach to investigate the issue of the death penalty. Namely, I will examine John Locke's theory of property rights, i.e. the labour theory of property, on the basis of which I will discuss the justifiability and possibility of the death penalty. The crucial question is whether our lives themselves could be categorized as an object of our property rights or not. Arguing this question, I will propose my view, which might be called 'impossibilism' on the death penalty rather than retentionism or abolitionism. The impossibilism is a hypothetical or conditional view presupposing the theory of human rights. Thus, I will finally scrutinize how to estimate the theory of human rights in general.

The Templo de Debod or Temple of Debod is an ancient Egyptian temple which was rebuilt in Madrid, Spain. The temple was built originally 15 km south of Aswan in southern Egypt very close to the first cataract of the Nile and to the great religious center dedicated to the goddess Isis, in Philae. In the early 2nd century BC, Adikhalamani (Tabriqo), the Kushite king of Meroë, started its construction by building a small single room chapel dedicated to the god Amun.
It was built and decorated on a similar design to the later Meroitic chapel on which the Temple of Dakka is based. Later, during the reigns of Ptolemy VI, Ptolemy VIII and Ptolemy XII of the Ptolemaic dynasty, it was extended on all four sides to form a small temple, 12 X 15 m, which was dedicated to Isis of Philae. The Roman emperors Augustus and Tiberius completed its decorations. From the quay there is a long processional way leads to the stone-built enclosure wall, through three stone pylon gateways and finally to the temple itself. The pronaos, which had four columns with composite capitals collapsed in 1868, and is now lost. Behind it lay the original sanctuary of Amun, the offering table room and a later sanctuary with several side-rooms and stairs to the roof.
In 1960, due to the construction of the Great Dam of Aswan and the consequent threat posed to several monuments and archeological sites, UNESCO made an international call to save this rich historical legacy. As a sign of gratitude for the help provided by Spain in saving the temples of Abu Simbel, the Egyptian state donated the temple of Debod to Spain in 1968. The temple was rebuilt in one of Madrid's parks, the Parque del Oeste, near the Royal Palace of Madrid, and opened to the public in 1972. The reassembled gateways appear to have been placed in a different order than when originally erected. Compared to a photo of the original site, the gateway topped by a serpent flanked sun appears not to have been the closest gateway to the temple proper. It constitutes one of the few works of ancient Egyptian architecture which can be seen outside Egypt and the only one of its kind in Spain.

Q: C#: Is there an Advantage to Disposing Resources in Reverse Order of their Allocation? Many years ago, I was admonished to, whenever possible, release resources in reverse order to how they were allocated. That is:
block1 = malloc( ... );
block2 = malloc( ... );

... do stuff ...

free( block2 );
free( block1 );

I imagine on a 640K MS-DOS machine, this could minimize heap fragmentation. Is there any practical advantage to doing this in a C# /.NET application, or is this a habit that has outlived its relevance?

A: If your resources are created well, this shouldn't matter (much).
However, many poorly created libraries don't do proper checking.  Disposing of resources in reverse of their allocation typically means that you're disposing of resource dependent on other resources first - which can prevent poorly written libraries from causing problems.  (You never dispose of a resource, then use one that's depending on the first's existence in this case.)
It also is good practice, since you're not going to accidentally dispose a resource required by some other object too early.
Here's an example: look at a database operation.  You don't want to close/dispose your connection before closing/disposing your command (which uses the connection).

A: Don't bother.  The GarbageCollector reserves the right to defragment and move objects on the heap, so there's no telling what order things are in.
In addition, if you're disposing A and B and A references B it shouldn't matter if A disposes B when you dispose A, since the Dispose method should be callable more than once without an exception being thrown.

A: If you are referring to the time the destructor on the objects gets called, then that's up the garbage collector, the programming can have very little influence over that, and it is explicity non-deterministic according to the language definition.
If you are referring to calling IDisposable.Dispose(), then that depends on the behavior of the objects that implement the IDisposable interface.
In general, the order doesn't matter for most Framework objects, except to the extent that it matters to the calling code. But if object A maintains a dependency on object B, and object B is disposed, then it could very well be important not to do certain things with object A.
In most cases, Dispose() is not called directly, but rather it is called implicitly as part of a using or foreach statement, in which case the reverse-order pattern will naturally emerge, according to the statement embedding.
using(Foo foo = new Foo())
using(FooDoodler fooDoodler = new FooDoodler(foo))
{
  // do stuff
  // ...
  // fooDoodler automatically gets disposed before foo at the end of the using statement.
}

A: Nested 'usings' shows you the 'outlived' is not really on, and rarely is (not to go and say never after 40 years of evidence).. And that includes the stack-based VM that runs on say CMOS.
[ Despite some attempts by MSDN.com and Duffius to make it vanish, you know manage it all for you the difference between the heap and stack. What a smart idea.. in space ]

A:
"The runtime doesn't make any guarantees as to the order in which Finalize methods are called. For example, let's say there is an object that contains a pointer to an inner object. The garbage collector has detected that both objects are garbage. Furthermore, say that the inner object's Finalize method gets called first. Now, the outer object's Finalize method is allowed to access the inner object and call methods on it, but the inner object has been finalized and the results may be unpredictable. For this reason, it is strongly recommended that Finalize methods not access any inner, member objects."

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/bb985010.aspx
So you can worry about your LIFO dispose semantics as much as you like, but if you leak one, the Dispose()'s are going to be called in whatever order the CLR fancies.
(This is more or less what Will said, above)

Rhinos grazing on the edge of Kruger National Park, 2016.
Kruger National Park, a highly protected zone guarded by everything from dogs to aircraft, says it is home to an estimated 349 to 465 of the critically endangered black rhino, which the IUCN Red List notes used to number in the hundreds of thousands of individuals. They now are believed to number at somewhere around 5,000, with almost all living in protected ranges in South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe and Kenya. CNN wrote that the park also says it is home between 6,600 and 7,800 white rhinos, which the IUCN Red List categorizes as Near Threatened and has a population of roughly 19,600 to 21,100 individuals concentrated in the same countries (though the northern subspecies is on the brink of extinction).
Correction: Rhino horns are not ivory. We regret the error.

The President's flag, red with a green rectangle charged with a white crescent and star, was introduced officially on 26 July 1968.
The flag shown in Album des Pavillons [pay00] is slightly different from the official specifications, with a narrower red border. It might be either erroneous or based on a version of the flag predating the adoption of the official specifications.
Calvin Paige Herring & Željko Heimer, 30 September 2002
Recently, the entire government of the Maldives got into wet suits and held a meeting under water to raise awareness for Global Warming. A picture published by ARD Tagesschau shows the President of the Maldives, signing a declaration regarding Global Warming, using a waterproof pen. Behind the President, you can see the Presidential Flag flying - or should I say floating - at the ocean floor.

Exclusive – Friedel: 'Villa's poor form is down to the players not the manager'
Michael Wade
12th December 2010, 3:25 pm
Updated: 30th May 2018, 1:19 pm
Brad Friedel has leapt to the defence of Aston Villa manager Gerard Houllier claiming that the club's run of form is the player's fault and not the managers.
Houllier's tenure at Villa has been questioned after a run of just one win in ten games saw the side slide down the table.
But the American goalkeeper, speaking after the 2-1 win against West Brom, said that it is down to the players to stand up and be counted when results aren't going their way.
Speaking to Call Collymore, he said: "You have to get up for these games if you don't you really will get found out.
"It's not down to a lot of the talking off the pitch now especially when you're on a bad run of form. It's down to us as players to get our heads up to be confident and win football matches.
"You have to do it on the field, all the talking off the field is all well and good but you have to be able to go on there and put a performance in.
"We've been on a terrible run of results. Some of our form hasn't been as bad as the results suggest, but some games have.
"We've had a tremendous amount of injuries but saying that the young lads have performed very good at times. It's difficult when you're young trying to get consistent runs against a lot of good players in the Premier League."

Sunset Strip Music Festival to bring big acts to West Hollywood
Now in its sixth year, the Sunset Strip Music Festival (SSMF) brings some of the best acts from around the country to celebrate this legendary area of rock and roll history. Festival headliners usually include bands and artists who made their name on the Strip. This year Linkin Park, which debuted as the band Xero at the Whisky A Go Go in 1997, will be closing out SSMF on August 3, performing on the main outdoor stage.
Nic Adler, one of the festival's producers and owner of The Roxy, told the Santa Monica Mirror that the main goal of the event is to celebrate the Strip's past, while being current and booking bands that are relevant.
"Linkin Park was always on our list of bands that we wanted to play the festival, but the timing hasn't worked out," Adler said to the source. "With Linkin Park, Brad the guitar player was a door guy at On The Rox at The Roxy. The other guys were in four or five bands that played the Whiskey and The Roxy. It's great when it comes together. They are a band that started on the Strip and ended up being one of the biggest touring bands in the world."
The last day of the festival will include a street fair with a beer garden and food trucks.
Some of the other acts at the festival, which runs from August 1 to August 3, include:
If you're planning on attending SSMF while staying at your Los Angeles vacation rental, you should act fast. Tickets are selling quickly and there are only a few VIP seats remaining.

Southern California is known around the world for its vibrant music scene. Every visitor to the area should take advantage of this opportunity to hear some great bands.
Los Angeles says farewell to the X Games
This will be Los Angeles' last year hosting the event, which will move to Austin, Texas next year. While you're staying at your Los Angeles vacation rental, be sure to check out the X Games in its long-time home.
There are currently four markets in the city that are convenient for anyone to visit, no matter when you are staying at your Santa Monica vacation rental.
When traveling to Santa Monica, Venice Beach and Los Angeles for an extended period of time, staying at hotel isn't exactly ideal. Aside from the fact that they are small and lack privacy, they can be inconvenient and don't always offer the accommodations that are necessary for long-term stays. Whether working on a film, going to festival or just taking the family on an extended getaway, anyone looking for the ultimate luxury temporary housing experience should make a reservation with Signature Vacation Homes.

Cheshire East Council
Council bosses get pay rises of 20 per cent
Four top roles at Cheshire East Council will get salary hikes of between £5k and £25k.
Stuart Greer
FOUR bosses at Cheshire East Council are to receive pay rises of up to 20 per cent.
The massive pay hikes include the chief operating officer's (COO) salary, which will jump from £110k to £135k per year.
Others include the executive director for economic growth and prosperity, from £110k to £120k, the head of legal services and monitoring officer, from £75k to £90k, and the director of adult services from £95k to £110k.
The move follows a restructure which axed the £125,000 role of executive director for strategic commissioning.
All other council staff received an annual pay rise of one percent this year.
The new salaries were passed at a council meeting last Thursday.
Council leader Michael Jones said: "We have got some of the finest officers in the country and we should reward them. We are not paying higher salaries than any authority, we're just giving them what they are worth and not above it. This is the right thing to do."
But the proposals came under fire from Councillor Amanda Stott, an independent councillor representing Bollington.
She said: "For Michael Jones to say that pay rises in the region of 20 percent for a small number of officers was justified because 'they work hard' is shocking.
"There are many who work hard at Cheshire East Council and in most cases have received a meagre one percent pay rise.
"Just because a senior officer left should not mean that their salary is shared out amongst a few – it could have been shared out over a wider group – or saved.
"I did not support these pay increases as I felt that the people who elected me would not approve of any government employee receiving 20 percent extra in their pay packet, whilst services to residents are being reduced."
In a report to the council chief executive Mike Suarez said the pay rises were justified because officers had taken on extra responsibility from the axed director role.
But Coun Sam Corcoran disagreed.
He said: "Some of the pay increases are more than many people earn in total a year."
In 2013 the council overhauled its management structure to save £5m. The move was in the wake of the Lyme Green scandal, which was blamed partly on its 'organisational structure'.

Scott Seidenberger, an undergraduate at Cornell University and an Air Force ROTC cadet, in a recent TEDx talk raised some provocative ideas for the U.S. military's cyberwarrior force.
For example, the college junior -- who's studying the impact that technology has had on the military's culture, organization and people -- asked whether it's worth divorcing the mission of cybersecurity entirely from the armed forces and giving it to private-sector hackers or cyber mercenaries of sorts.
"Let's embrace for a second the idea that maybe the cyber mission isn't one for the military at all," he said. "Maybe the kinetic DNA of the military isn't suited for the cyber domain. Maybe what we need is to rely more on private citizens, companies and contractors in a civilian-lead, non-uniform enterprise."
As the military increasingly turns to drones and automation, millennials are increasingly leaving government, Seidenberger said.
For example, just a quarter of the federal cybersecurity workforce is under the age of 30 and more than half are over the age of 50, he said. What's more, new officers and enlisted personnel in military cyber schools are already getting trained by private-sector instructors, he said.
"Our nation's admirals and generations are extremely brilliant people and they're some of the finest leaders that our nation has been able to produce," he said. "But they haven't benefit from growing up in a digital age."
To underscore the point, Seidenberger included in his presentation a quote from Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Welsh, who has said of the cybersecurity challenge, "We have a lot of people in this discussion who don't really know what they're talking about. I know, because they are all like me."
Given that the Pentagon plans to spend $5.5 billion in the current fiscal year on cybersecurity operations and created an entire command, U.S. Cyber Command, devoted to the mission, Seidenberger's ideas are worth considering.


In many industries, there is often the feeling that Health and Safety have gone mad.
However, in Transportation, you can quickly see why safety checks are so important before any journey is made.
The size, weight and load carry are often so vast that what would be a minor lapse of concentration in a standard hatch and cause nothing more than a moment of panic, could have fatal consequences in a heavily loaded vehicle.
Making sure a driver and vehicle is fully compliant could prove to be the difference between life and death as we take a look at some of the most overlooked vehicle checks today.
Yes, we know that you are probably already doing these but there are many who make the most casual of checks and view it as more of putting a quick tick in the box without necessarily doing all the groundwork.
Complacency often sets in and important factors may be missed off which is why it if often wise to ensure whoever conducts the walk around receives regular training and is monitored carrying out the check from time to time by a senior member of staff.
One aspect that is often heavily overlooked is how the driver gets in and out of their vehicle.
Especially during the winter months when surfaces in and out of the vehicle can be slippery.
Every driver should be performing their three-points of contact rule when entering a vehicle because no matter how many times you have climbed up those steps, snow, ice and rain cares little for experience.
We have all gotten a little hot under the collar at other road users when behind the wheel.
It is a well-known fact that we speed up and drive more erratic when others have cut us up or just generally driven like a prat.
No matter how many years of experience you have behind the wheel, other drivers are a key factor of how to begin to perform.
Adding human factors to your safety program by training drivers how to react and remain calm when in control of a heavy goods vehicle could well prevent a serious accident.


Here are SEVEN SECRETS for staying fit for employment after age 50. The best time to put these tips into practice is NOW, even if you are still fully employed in a job you plan to keep until the day you retire. That way, if the rug gets pulled out from under you, you will be ready for your new future.

In addition to the physical issues you face when recovering from ostomy surgery, there's also the hurdle of body image. Self-esteem is vital to making yourself well again, mentally and physically. Getting your self-esteem back may take a little while, but you can do it.
Just ask Dr. Joe Salisz. He'd been a urologist in Michigan for 20 years when he learned he needed urostomy surgery. But he knew the importance of a positive mental attitude before and after surgery to help with his recovery.
Find Your Way Through "The Fog"
Confusion. Fear. Disorientation. These are just a few of the things that are normal to feel both before and immediately after ostomy surgery. But this foggy feeling will pass. Clearer days are ahead.

Meet Dana Marie Gatziolis
Dana knew that if she could learn to fully love herself - ostomy bag and all - then she would never lose her ability to love or be loved. In her heart, she knew that her security and self worth couldn't rely on anything external, including her own body. Her identity had to be based on something much stronger than that. And so began her greatest adventure.
