Francis de Wolff (7 January 1913 – 18 April 1984) was an English character actor. Large, bearded, and beetle-browed, he was often cast as villains in both film and television.
Born in Essex, he made his film debut in Flame in the Heather in 1935, and went on to make many other appearances in such films as Fire Over England (1937), Treasure Island (1950), Scrooge (1951), as the Ghost of Christmas Present, Ivanhoe (1952), Moby Dick (1956), Saint Joan (1957), From Russia with Love (1963), Carry On Cleo (1964) and The Three Musketeers (1973).
He is perhaps best remembered as a supporting player in horror films of the 1950s and 1960s, many of them for Hammer Studios. These include Corridors of Blood (1958), The Hound of the Baskervilles (1959), The Man Who Could Cheat Death (1959), The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll (1960), Devil Doll (1963) and The Black Torment (1964).
His television appearances include The Avengers, Danger Man, Dixon of Dock Green, Lord Peter Wimsey, Doctor Who, Rookery Nook, Jesus of Nazareth, Maigret, Paul Temple, Richard the Lionheart, The Saint, and The Tomorrow People.
Francis Wolff (1907 or 1908 in Berlin, Germany – March 8, 1971, in New York City, United States) was a record company executive, photographer and record producer. Wolff's skills, as an executive and a photographer, were important contributions to the success of the Blue Note record label.
After a career as a commercial photographer in Germany, Wolff emigrated to the United States. A Jew, he left Berlin for New York in the late 1930s. In 1939 in New York his childhood friend Alfred Lion had co-founded Blue Note Records (with sleeping partner Max Margulis, who soon dropped out of any involvement in the company), and Wolff joined Lion in running the company. During Lion's war service, Wolff worked for Milt Gabler at the Commodore Music Store, and together they maintained the company's catalogue until Lion was discharged.
Until Lion retired in 1967, Wolff concentrated on the financial affairs of the business and only supervised occasional recording sessions produced during his visits to Europe to see surviving members of his family. For the last four years of his life, when Blue Note was no longer an independent label, Wolff shared production responsibilities with pianist and arranger Duke Pearson.
The Hobbit, or There and Back Again is a fantasy novel and children's book by English author J. R. R. Tolkien. It was published on 21 September 1937 to wide critical acclaim, being nominated for the Carnegie Medal and awarded a prize from the New York Herald Tribune for best juvenile fiction. The book remains popular and is recognized as a classic in children's literature.
Set in a time "Between the Dawn of Færie and the Dominion of Men",The Hobbit follows the quest of home-loving hobbit Bilbo Baggins to win a share of the treasure guarded by the dragon, Smaug. Bilbo's journey takes him from light-hearted, rural surroundings into more sinister territory. The story is told in the form of an episodic quest, and most chapters introduce a specific creature, or type of creature, of Tolkien's geography. By accepting the disreputable, romantic, fey and adventurous sides of his nature and applying his wits and common sense, Bilbo gains a new level of maturity, competence and wisdom. The story reaches its climax in the Battle of the Five Armies, where many of the characters and creatures from earlier chapters re-emerge to engage in conflict.
Bilbo Baggins is the title character and protagonist of J. R. R. Tolkien's 1937 novel The Hobbit, as well as a supporting character in The Lord of the Rings. In Tolkien's narrative conceit, in which all the writings of Middle-earth are translations from the fictitious volume of The Red Book of Westmarch, Bilbo is the author of The Hobbit and translator of various "works from the elvish" (as mentioned in the end of The Return of the King).
In The Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, a hobbit in comfortable middle age at 50 years old, was hired in spite of himself as a "burglar" by the wizard Gandalf and 13 Dwarves led by their king Thorin Oakenshield on a quest to reclaim the Lonely Mountain and its treasure from the dragon Smaug. The adventure took Bilbo and the companions through the wilderness, to the elf haven of Rivendell, across the Misty Mountains and the black forest of Mirkwood, to Lake-town in the middle of Long Lake, and eventually to the Mountain itself. Here, after the dragon was killed and the Mountain reclaimed, the Battle of Five Armies took place.

Biologie et société : sciences cognitives, neurosciences et sciences sociales Sous la direction de Henri ATLAN et Claudine COHEN Séminaire du lundi 3 février 2014 Francis WOLFF, philosophe, historien de la philosophie, professeur à l'Ecole Normale supérieure, présente "Du paradigme structuraliste au paradigme cognitiviste" Un beau jour, à la fin du siècle dernier, l'homme a changé. Considéré à la lumière de la psychanalyse ou de l'anthropologie culturelle depuis une trentaine d'années, il était soumis au poids des structures, déterminé par ses conditions sociales ou familiales, gouverné par des désirs inconscients, dépendant de son histoire, de sa culture, de sa langue. C'était en somme un « sujet assujetti ». Cet homme des sciences humaines et sociales qui, au milieu du siècle, s'épanou...
Philosophe, professeur de philosophie à l’école normale supérieure, Francis Wolff a posé les bases de notre relation aux animaux avec cette conférence intitulée "L’animal en L’Homme et l’animal hors de L’Homme. A propos de l’animalisme contemporain et du devenir de l’humanisme" lors du colloque Ocha "Des animaux et des hommes" du 27 novembre 2014. Cet événement invitait à une réflexion philosophique, historique, et anthropologique sur la pluralité des relations que notre société entretient avec les animaux et interrogeait sur le futur de ces relations prenant en compte à la fois les devoirs des sociétés vis-à-vis des animaux (respect et codes de bientraitance) et nos relations nourricières, réelles, imaginaires et symboliques.

Au lendemain de l'attentat de Nice qui a coûté la vie à 86 personnes le 14 juillet dernier, Manuel Valls a cherché à pointer les failles qui permettent à des musulmans de se radicaliser au sein des mosquées françaises.
