Biography » actors and actresses » robert morley
ROBERT MORLEY
Name: Robert Adolph Wilton Morley
Born: 26 May 1908 Semley, Wiltshire, England
Died: 3 June 1992 Reading, Berkshire, England
Robert Morley CBE (May 26, 1908 - June 3, 1992) was an Oscar-nominated English
actor who, often in supporting roles, was usually cast as a pompous English
gentleman representing the Establishment. In Movie Encyclopedia, film critic
Leonard Maltin describes Morley as "recognizable by his ungainly bulk, bushy
eyebrows, thick lips, and double chin, particularly effective when cast as a
pompous windbag". More politely, Ephraim Kurtz in his International Film
Encyclopaedia describes Morley as a "a rotund, triple-chinned, delightful
character player of the British and American stage and screen."
He was born Robert Adolph Wilton Morley in Semley, Wiltshire, England. Morley
attended Elizabeth College, Guernsey, RADA and made his West End stage debut in
1929 in Treasure Island at the Strand Theatre and his Broadway debut in 1938 in
the title role of Oscar Wilde at the Fulton Theatre. Although soon won over to
the big screen, Morley remained both a busy West End star and successful author,
as well as tirelessly touring.
A versatile actor, especially in his younger years, he played roles as divergent
as those of Louis XVI, for which he received an Academy Award Nomination as Best
Supporting Actor (Marie Antoinette 1938). He gave Oscar-worthy performances in
Oscar Wilde (1960) and as a missionary in The African Queen (1951).
As a playwright he co-wrote and adapted several plays for the stage, having
outstanding success in London and New York with Edward, My Son, a gripping
family drama written in 1947 (with Noel Langley) in which he played the central
role of Arnold Holt. But the disappointing film version, directed by George
Cukor at MGM Elstree in 1949, instead starred the miscast Spencer Tracy, who
turned Holt, an unscrupulous English businessman, into a blustering Canadian
expatriate.
Morley also personified the conservative Englishman in many comedy and caper
films. Later in his career, he received critical accolades for Who Is Killing
the Great Chefs of Europe?. Renowned for repartee and for being an eloquent
conversationalist, Morley gained the epitheton of being a "wit".
Morley was honoured by being the first King of Moomba appointed by the Melbourne
Moomba festival committee and, in typical humility, he accepted the crown in
bare feet! Morley was in Australia touring his one-man show, The Sound of
Morley.
He married Joan Buckmaster (1910-2005), a daughter of Dame Gladys Cooper. Their
elder son, Sheridan Morley was a well-known writer and critic. They also had a
daughter Annabel and another son Wilton. He was appointed a Commander of the
Order of the British Empire (CBE) in 1957. He was also offered a Knighthood
during the Wilson government but declined it. He died in Reading, Berkshire from
a stroke, aged 84.

I was crying. I remembered how, not too long ago, I was in Selma for the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Movement's march there. Old-timers told stories of the bomb threats, of the Birmingham church bombing engineered by the KKK which killed four little black girls and injured 22 other people. That was 1963. This is 2015. The headline is still a white man attacking a black church—a church with one of the oldest black congregations in the South and a historic source of black resistance (one of its founders organized a major slave rebellion and was executed for it).
Church. Church. Sanctuary. A sacred space for beloved community. A place, more than any other, where violence and bloodshed should not happen. We like to believe that a place of worship is a safe space. But events like those Birmingham church bombings or the shooting at the Sikh temple in Wisconsin in 2012 or this shooting in Charleston remind us that hatred can permeate even our holy of holies.
So how do we keep such places safe? Through my grief at the Charleston church shooting, I also felt frustration. I know (in fact, I wrote about it here on State of Formation) that the police shooting of Walter Scott, an unarmed black man, in North Charleston earlier this year—and the renewed sense of the need for justice and the upsurge in #BlackLivesMatter activism—irked many white people in the Charleston area. "Don't protest. Don't make us look like Ferguson," they wrote, complaining about the marches and the protestors.
So it was with a sinking feeling that I read this news of a white man killing in a black church. The details have not all come out yet, but I cannot help but suspect that such an atmosphere of animosity and disdain contributed to this man's decision to cause terror among the black community. Perhaps he felt like he was doing the thing so many people wanted to do but didn't have the guts to. Perhaps his mind was twisted, but perhaps the water he was swimming in directed the way it twisted. I keep seeing people posting things like "We can never know why he did it" and I can't stop pointing to a system of racism and oppression where black lives seem not to matter.
How can we make this better? How can we make the spaces of marginalized people safer? I can't help but wonder whether this would have happened if the responses of many more white churches to violence against black people had been stronger solidarity.
Her story has obscured the work that others are doing for racial justice. My own Unitarian Universalist faith is considering "Supporting the Black Lives Matter Movement" (initiated by our Youth Caucus leadership) as an Action of Immediate Witness at our national conference. Many people of faith have marched, advocated, and volunteered for #BlackLivesMatter movements. This needs to keep happening, wider and wider.
I'm thinking again about the irony that I was going online to post about Ramadan when I saw the news of the church shooting. I'm thinking about parallels. How the media would have immediately labeled the gunman "a terrorist" if he had been Muslim (or brown-skinned). How he would have been called "a thug" if it had been a black man. About how religious minorities—be they Muslim or Sikh or Jewish—must fear for the safety of their religious sanctuaries. About how black lives, in church or anywhere on the streets of America, must fear brutality and a devaluing of life. About how, in fact, 23% of American Muslims are black. About how each of those black lives lost in that Charleston church on Wednesday night mattered—and still matter.
No one is free until we are all free. We are all interconnected. Injustices affect us all. Across religions, races, and divisions of all kinds, this is a truth that must unite us. There will be no sanctuary until we make it so.

Jones takes full responsiblity for Peterborough defeat
Hatters boss Nathan Jones
Published: 18:17 Saturday 18 August 2018
Luton boss Nathan Jones took full responsibility for the Hatters' 3-1 defeat at Peterborough United this afternoon.
The Town chief opted to change formation from the diamond that had served them so well against Portsmouth, Sunderland and West Bromwich Albion, swapping to a 3-5-2 system, with centre halves Matty Pearson, Sonny Bradley and Alan Sheehan all included.
However, Jason Cummings scored twice, once from the penalty spot, and Sikiri Dembele also netted to make it 3-0 by the 36th minute.
Although Luton improved once switching back to the diamond afterwards, they only had Danny Hylton's late goal to show for their efforts as an honest Jones said: "Firstly, well done to Steve Evans' side in the first half.
"I thought tactically they were better than us, they outbattled us, they outworked us in the first half, caught us on counter attacks, which they have obviously prepared for, and a credit to them.
"So, I'm taking nothing away from that, but there was so much that was avoidable
"I am very disappointed with the result, I am very disappointed with our first half performance and I will take full responsibility.
"Tactically, I thought I got it wrong, I got it totally wrong today.
"I should have trusted what we do normally, but I felt a different way we could have really, really caused them problems and it didn't and I accept responsibility for that, but our first half performance wasn't good enough.
"The first goal we feel is a foul on the edge of our half, and then they counter on us. We feel that's a foul, all other times in the game it's a foul.
"I reiterate, this isn't sour grapes in any kind of way, we weren't good enough first half, Peterborough were excellent, they countered so, so well and they got their just desserts.
"The first one was a definite foul, then we haven't defended well enough, we haven't won our headers, we got done one-v-one in our box, it's too easy.
"And then the third one my keeper lies down which he's doing regularly lately.
"As I said, I am accepting full responsibility for the tactical errors I made today, but we still should have come in and been a lot closer to Peterborough, which would have given us a platform in the second half, but too many individual errors."

As the social media explosion fuels the rapid growth of online recruiting capabilities, Stephen-Bradford Search is finding it's relationships with its blue chip clients growing even stronger. In this environment, top tier companies see our work as critical to their success. Counterintuitive? Not really.
The surge in demand for our services, the growth of our search firm and the recent organizational strides we have made, all go hand-in-hand with the evolution of new digital tools that are changing our business, and our clients' businesses, at breathtaking speed.
In fact, we're finding that as companies grow more facile with the use of vast web spiders like Monster and Indeed, or establish more sophisticated profiles on LinkedIn and other social recruitment tools, the need for value-added by a search firm such as Stephen-Bradford is far greater. We're meeting our clients rapidly changing needs as they seek more knowledgeable, detailed identification of the right candidates from within large candidate pools. We provide hands-on, in-depth vetting of top talent and successfully move true business leaders from what may be a comfortable role to a new and greater career opportunity. Our practices are led by senior individuals who come out of industry; they are the people who work on our clients' searches, personally. This is one of the many things that sets Stephen-Bradford Search apart from its competitors.
Internally, we've also made changes to address our growth and the evolution of our clients' businesses.
Jackie Orris, who was Vice President, Human Resources at Global Experian Marketing Services, has joined Stephen-Bradford's already robust Luxury Goods and Retail practice. Jackie previously held leadership roles in human resources and talent acquisition at major retail companies including Ralph Lauren, Cole Hahn, Jones Apparel Group, and Kenneth Cole. We feel very fortunate to have her as part of our team.
Joan Lebow, who most recently was Vice President, Corporate Communications for an ed-tech company, has come onboard to join our rapidly growing Nonprofit practice. Joan has had an extensive career in media and communications, focusing on issues such as healthcare, housing, education, community development and government affairs. She will be working closely with Elyse Barbell the Managing Director of Stephen-Bradford's Nonprofit group. A former reporter for the Wall Street Journal and other business publications, Joan spent a decade as a spokesperson for major medical centers handling media crises, working with national press and developing online marketing tools for hospitals to serve digitally savvy consumers. She brings an understanding of diverse industries, their stories, goals and accomplishments.
The digital revolution is creating an evolution of growth and change in our clients' businesses and our own. We're seeing new roles emerging almost daily in database marketing and analytics, as well as in new business development, across virtually every industry -- from advertising and marketing, to retail sales, to philanthropy. What's more, we're seeing the increasing need for hiring senior professionals with hands-on experience in these critical areas. We're working with unprecedented access to data, making sense of complex skills and seeing new potential solutions for identifying and securing top executive talent. We're partnering with our clients who are looking to us for the kind of smart, informed consultation and access to the very best talent that's essential, to stay competitive in this quickly evolving business landscape.

Organize their bags, and then leave, the sun still shines.Just more than a faint hint of sadness in my heart, the deepest place it gently buried, deliberately do not want to go touch.Occasionally quietly out to wipe the dust off, telling myself to be strong. When faced with the dawn again, no longer feel helpless at a loss, more of a strong and brave.Gradually I understand, sometimes not not learn to grow up, but do not want to face, stubborn and selfish at the same time adhere to pay some of the cost of pale.Indeed, destined to be a growth process, although painful but unavoidable.Standing in front of reality and destiny, we are so small, so helpless. In many cases, filled with Fen Li can only swallowed them, no experience full of pain.Originally unintentional, the result is often the opposite, so they ask themselves, ask destiny why?Reality and fate like a nefarious mad dog chasing you down, one day you run, you will will relent, despite its relentless bite, chew cruel.So they bring it to leave traces. Before the hate in this world, I hate to bring the fate of other people can see, you can not see the pain and schedule.Now not so annoying, perhaps simply not qualified to hate.Buddhist devotees who say; God shut your door will open for you another window.Always felt very funny.Maybe, maybe someone else does seem to be true.If you can talk to him, I want to say that I do not want a window, Zhiyuan Why should I shut the door. The initial dream and vision for the future has become increasingly blurred, gradually do not know what they want in the end, money?Wealth?House or what?I have no ideal, not even like it, maybe sad.Always very disgusted with those who take their own achievements and think to define and measure the value of others, in some kind of perspective, I think that is not nothing like a beggar.Each person is different, and the pursuit of the bear's fate is different, it brings you that you had no right to choose.For example, children will take away their favorite toy.Because different, so we can not avoid some of the damage refraction.This is nothing we can do and can not let other people know, only silently to accept yourself.Everyone has their own life, found the right to determine the courage to go on, though he still others say that God horse clouds.Just think of here scold, say bad words, the thicker the better, the more the more cool dirty.Sometimes I wondered if he was suffering from mania, rabies and the like, even if only with their own dialogue will feel cool and comfortable, especially enjoyable.Therefore always think the world is fickle, perhaps this is it's unique in this day and age of labels. Sometimes I want to flee, to disappear.Others say it's cowardly and escape, and later no longer think so.I had always whim, write nonsense, and then delete all day, and then went on to.Blind panic.Like most of a headless flies, we do not know when to begin.Even earlier to the text are not interested in even bother to look.Then see who said: fall in love with characters who are lonely.Maybe, it wants to be.Anyway, I am feeling good, at least can with their own dialogue.Who is: if a person loses the ability to dialogue with yourself that is terrible.So I am feeling a little pleased, whether it is really for.Still prefer the real, something Ye Hao was worth mentioning.Feelings or emotions do want to say, but also very real cool, enjoy themselves.Zhi Buding someday die, I want to say something too late to do something.Sadly, sorry. Previously wrote: I always stood by the window, looking out familiar and unfamiliar world.Just silly daze, quietly preoccupied.Frustration and panic.Followed by a burst urgent restlessness and anxiety, like a speeding sports car, the brakes suddenly failed.No direction, can not control.Dare not witnessed the scene, I think so-called fallen so likewise.Thinking, I do not want to think of life, I can not judge, desire, I can not indulge, target, we have no direction, a single moment as a sentence less than death row, waiting for the fear of pending.Fickle world, confused life, restless thoughts, mood upset, saying insincere words, contrary to the principle of doing things, soul ask yourself, get word, mud horse. Now it seems a little sad, a little ridiculous.Sometimes I feel like a soft peel the egg shell, and sometimes feel hard like a stone.There is a saying that men know how to put down is a sign of maturity and tolerance, how weighty words.There is no reason to love this, there is no reason to hate, hate cause and effect, melons, beans contented.In any case, we will have to face to face, to escape forever solve the problem.Laughter does not mean happiness, bow compromise does not mean surrender.Just do not want to go to uncover the cruel scars that have not yet healed, wish to leave to preserve the last time a little bit stubborn and insist on. Goodbye youth.Goodbye, beautiful pain.Goodbye youth.Goodbye, bright sadness.Thank you for reflected light, shining my wings more fullness bright.And then leave, the sun still shines.And then leave, I still was a child.

An electrifying final day at the Oi Rio Pro, the fourth stop on the Samsung Galaxy World Surf League (WSL) Championship Tour (CT), saw Filipe Toledo (BRA) and Courtney Conlogue (USA) reign supreme, claiming victory at Barra da Tijuca in front of a capacity crowd of thousands and thousands of passionate fans. Toledo defeated Bede Durbidge (AUS) to win the men's event while Conlogue got the better of Bianca Buitendag (ZAF) to claim the women's event, each securing their second CT win of the season and putting themselves firmly in the world title race.
The world's best surfers battled to avoid an early exit from the Oi Rio Pro today as elimination Round 2 was completed in solid six-to-eight foot (2 - 2.5 metre) waves at Barra da Tijuca. The day saw top seeds win through the morning, with big performances and upsets dominating the afternoon as the rookies came back strong to eliminate several big names.
The fourth stop on the 2015 Samsung Galaxy WSL Championship Tour, the Oi Rio Pro, is the sole Championship Tour event on South American soil, but in a departure from their Round 1 dominance, Round 2 witnessed all four Brazilians competing today eliminated.
Three-time world champion Mick Fanning (AUS) defeated David do Carmo (BRA) in the opening heat of the day with the highest two-wave heat total of Round 2, 16.63 out of a possible 20. The win sees Fanning get one back over the wildcard who eliminated him in Rio last year in Round 2.
Hawaiian charger John John Florence (HAW) got the better of wildcard Alex Ribeiro (BRA) in their Round 2 match-up thanks to a 14.84 heat score. The Brazilian is eliminated from the contest in equal 25th place and Florence heads to Round 2 where he will face Adam Melling (AUS).
Ricardo Christie (NZL) caused the first upset of the day by eliminating higher seed and former event winner Jordy Smith (ZAF) from the competition. The South African dominated through much of the heat but the rookie came back with an excellent 9.17 for a righthand tube to claim his second CT heat win and advance to Round 3.
Keanu Asing (HAW) became the second rookie to cause an upset today when he narrowly defeated Joel Parkinson (AUS), who is eliminated from the event and takes home his worst CT result since 2011. The Round 2 victory is Asing's second heat win of the year and will see him move to the next round of competition where he will take on reigning WSL Champion Gabriel Medina (BRA).
Jeffreys Bay - The first event of the Billabong Junior Series 2015 will take place this year at Magna Tubes. It is a three-day event, with a five-day waiting period from13 - 17 July. The contest takes place duing the JBay Winterfest - www.jbaywinterfest.com. The contest director will choose the best three days out of the waiting period to run the contest to completion.
The Billabong Junior Series presented by BOS is the most prestigious and longest-running junior series in the world. The series started in 1997, and has already hosted 51 individual events over its illustrious history. Billabong has paid out over R1,3mil in prize money over this period to also make it the richest junior series in the country.
There are 7 divisions for 2015, and competitors are allowed to enter a maximum of 2 divisions.
U20 Boys and U20 Girls – WSL 1000 Pro Junior Rated.
There are a number of exciting Specialty Awards and Events as well as Series Awards, and these will be announced shortly. Co-sponsors for the event include VonZipper and Nixon.
Barra da Tijuca today delivered clean four-to-six foot (1 - 1.5 metre) waves for the opening rounds of competition at the Oi Rio Pro.
The fourth stop on the 2015 Samsung Galaxy WSL Championship Tour, the Oi Rio Pro is the sole Championship Tour event on South American soil and the rising power of Brazil dominated the day's affairs.
Gabriel Medina (BRA), reigning WSL Champion, rebounded from an uncharacteristic early exit in Margaret River with a hard-fought Round 1 win this morning over Fredrick Patacchia (HAW) and Alejo Muniz (BRA). The young Brazilian drew a crowd of hundreds on the beach cheering for him as he advanced directly into Round 3.
"I'm feeling good to get that one," said Medina. "The waves are kinda hard but I got that 7 and a 5 I think and the heat was pretty slow after that. Alejo (Muniz) and Freddy (Patacchia) couldn't get another score so I was lucky to get through. I cope pretty well with pressure and it's good to have people cheering for you. It's a lot of people but I'm here at home so there's no reason to feel pressure."
Following Medina's heat, the crowd reached a fever pitch for current frontrunner on the Jeep Leaderboard Adriano de Souza (BRA). De Souza, a former event winner, exhibited an impressive command of the lineup netting a 17.90 out of a possible 20 to advance directly through to Round 3.
The "Brazilian Storm" had a sensational outing in Round 1 with Filipe Toledo (BRA), Wiggolly Dantas (BRA), Italo Ferreira (BRA) and Jadson Andre (BRA) all winning through their opening heats to advance directly to Round 3.
Kelly Slater (USA), 11-time World Champion and current WSL No. 9, was in unparalleled rhythm in the shifting beachbreaks, threading barrels on both his forehand and backhand to collect the day's high heat total of a 19.27 out of a possible 20.
The round was punctuated by impressive showings from Australians Bede Durbidge (AUS) and Matt Wilkinson (AUS), both taking heat wins to advance directly into Round 3.
Jeffreys Bay – The immensely popular RVCA Junior Challenge surfing event is returning to the waves of the Lower Point in JBay, and the 2015 event is going to be a few notches up from last year. RVCA South Africa has promised a 3-day surfing celebration for the junior surfers of our country, making everyone very excited.
What is it? – With the risk of being boring and repetitious, allow us to describe the event as such - three days of competitive surfing, having fun and being healthy at the beach. The RVCA Junior Challenge is a core surf event, focussed on a back-to-basics approach to enable the groms to get the best waves for an event and thus concentrate on their surfing above anything else.
Where is it going to take place? At the Lower Point in Jeffrey Bay. The right-hand point break is a perfect competitive arena for the junior surfers, and the grass patch and braai area is the ideal place to set up camp. There will be a tent in place for the restaurant and for the prize giving, and plenty of other interesting diversions in and around the event site.
When is it going down? The RVCA Junior Challenge will take place 13 – 15 June, which is a Saturday to Monday period. The Monday is a school holiday and the Tuesday is a public holiday – Youth Day. Yay for long weekends! The fact that the event has been moved forward to June shows RVCA's committment to ensuring good waves for the groms. Historically, June has always been a great month for surf in the JBay region.
Why is it happening? RVCA enjoy getting down and hanging out with the best junior surfers in the country, the groms, the up-and-comers and everyone else who enters their events. This is a grass roots event, and RVCA are proud to be involved in developing junior surfing in South Africa. Other people who enjoy hanging out and watching the junior surfers (we sometimes call them co-sponsors or event supporters) are Red Bull, Stance, Firewire, Futures Fins, Havaianas, Nixon, Rayne Cameras and Zigzag Magazine.
Who is going to be in it? Well, last year had the biggest entry into a junior event, and this year could be the same. There are the following divisions: Boys U10, U12, U14, U16 and U20, and Girls U16 and U20, so there are going to be a lot of surfers competing at the event. In fact, it might even turn out to be the biggest junior event in the country.
Yeweee - EP took the win at the SA Longboard Champs held at Seals. Gave Province and Natal a lekker snotklap. Not only did we win, we have 8 individual champs as well. Shot to Ryan Lightfoot, Arnold Vermaak, Michelle von Kempen, Phillipa Hill, Greg Heasley, Craig Cuff, Alan Byram, Greg Smith and Mush Hyde for winning their divisions.
Some epic surf, and some great surfing. The swell pumped through over the end of the week and into Saturday to make sure the event was contested in proper waves.
Craig Cuff won Grand Masters - for some reason they weren't in the results I received above.
Some actionshots from Brian Wheal of SA Champs.

Research ethics as a national competitive advantage: an approach to engaging with policy-makers
Many European countries do not have the institutional structure required to implement an ethical impact assessment procedure, and the few who have it use it focus on ethics in life sciences. There is a need to put the establishment of frameworks concerning research ethics and ethical impact assessment onto the political agenda. The case of France offers insights on motivations and processes of development of a national discussion on research ethics.
By Stéphanie Gauttier, University of Twente
Motivations for the establishment of a debate on research ethics
Indeed, France is rather a typical case when it comes to research ethics as most of the regulation and existing structures deal with ethics for life sciences. Nonetheless, policy-makers have started to debate research ethics in general and in specific fields over the last few years. An analysis of the documents available from the online repository of the French National Assembly helps identify some of the motivations that led to discussing ethics, such as:
The need to follow European regulations and the Horizon 2020 program, which refers to both a political and economic rationale (i.e., avoiding sanctions, getting funding);
The need to protect the reputation of France in the scientific field, especially after the revelation of cases of scientific misconduct in the media. This reputation can be seen as a competitive advantage to attract the best researchers, funding, and produce cutting-edge knowledge;
The idea discussed by policy-makers that society needs to be able to rely on the results of science to comprehend the development of technology and upcoming societal and economic challenges linked to it.
French policy-makers do not really consider limiting research on new technologies as an option, as doing so would limit the competitive advantage of the country on the international scene. Rather, as stated in a 2016 resolution proposal, "research on sensitive topics should be conducted with integrity and the societal and economic consequences of research projects should be taken into account". Preventing ethical and societal assessment would therefore be a failure. However, there does not seem to be any fundamental discussion on making these assessments mandatory.
Political actions undertaken to establish research ethics and integrity
Following this clear intent to consider the role of science in society, policy-makers have started to investigate research ethics from different perspectives:
First, the National Assembly and in particular the Parliamentary office For Scientific and Technological Assessment (OPECST) has produced a series of reports that partly deal with the ethical, societal, and economic impact of the new technologies such as artificial intelligence or the Internet of Things, pushing the discussion on ethics beyond the realm of bioethics. Although these reports do not consider tools and approaches to guarantee ethical standards, they do hint at a certain readiness level from the members of parliament to hear and discuss ethics assessment approaches and regulations.
Second, the government has consulted the academic sector: a report on scientific integrity was commissioned by the Ministry of Education and Research from Professor Corvol, a well-known scientist with a deep interest in ethics. The report lists 16 recommendations for the reinforcement of scientific integrity. Among these, the key recommendations relevant to SATORI include the establishment of deontological referents for researchers, the need for public funding organisations to condition grants to the existence of an ethics and integrity policy in beneficiary institutions, and the subsequent need to establish controls of the implementation of such policies. Another key recommendation is the establishment of a structure to oversee matters linked to scientific integrity in 2017.
Third, different national institutions have initiated debates on ethics and technology, engaging with stakeholders and citizens. For instance, the National Commission on Informatics and Liberty is organising a series of events on the ethics of algorithms, calling for wide stakeholder engagement. The results of these events will be presented in the fall of 2017 to inform policy-making. The Commission for Reflexion on the Ethics of Research on Sciences and Digital Technologies of Allistene (CERNA) has also initiated a series of conferences dealing with the development of ethics of digital technologies, algorithms, and digital governance.
The need for international governance of research ethics in all fields
While France is considering these different recommendations at the national level, some MPs have called for the adoption of an international convention as what is at stake with technological developments cannot be contained within national borders. In particular, they stress that there is a need for something similar to the Oviedo Convention, but in a form that is applicable across academic disciplines, including social sciences. The SATORI CWA, designed with multi-disciplinarity in mind, might be a suitable basis for discussion.
What are the lessons for other countries?
We can identify four key insights from the above analysis:
Conveying the importance of research ethics goes beyond a conversation on science: it is also a conversation about cultural, economic, societal, and political issues;
Linking research ethics to the societal stakes of innovation opens the doors to the need for international agreements on the topic;
The French case shows the significance of the role of scandals. Although these are not directly mentioned, the harm caused by misconduct is. Monitoring cases of ethical breaches and their discussion within society is needed to open the discussion at a timely moment;
It is also possible to use what is on the agenda to talk about ethics in specific areas, as is the case for new digital technologies in France. Ongoing consultations or debates represent a window of opportunity to introduce research ethics frameworks beyond life sciences through personal engagement and dissemination of SATORI policy briefs.

Baylor Athletics Master Plan Proposes Football Operations Center
From the sports enthusiasts watching football and basketball games on television to the thousands of fans and alumni who journey to campus each year to catch a game, Baylor Athletics is the "front porch" through which many people learn about this institution — and through which many students begin to consider Baylor for their university pursuits.
Key to Baylor's success are recruiting and retaining both male and female student-athletes who excel in their sports while also placing value on education and recruiting and retaining successful coaches who believe in the mission of the University. Athletics facilities must be fitted with the latest advances in training and support for student-athletes. Coaches must have access to technologies and teaching and training methods that provide the best opportunities for their student-athletes to grow and excel.
While Baylor has made great strides in the past five years to upgrade its facilities and to remain competitive with other members of the Big 12 Conference, significant needs remain. And just as our athletes push to be better every day, our facilities must continuously improve as well.
Several facility projects have emerged as priorities of the athletics master plan. Among them, construction of a football operations center. This industry-leading operations center would house coaches offices and provide convenient, state-of-the-art team meeting and development spaces, weight rooms, rehab and sports nutrition support and would enhance the overall complement of resources for the football program. The operations center would improve competitiveness in recruiting and feature space overlooking the outdoor football practice facility and McLane Stadium.
Once complete, the space where football operations now resides in Simpson Athletics and Academic Center would be used for additional academic support and student success services.
"The football operations building will be a game-changer for the entire Athletics Department and our student-athletes," Mack Rhoades, vice president and director of intercollegiate athletics, said. "With the addition of this facility, it will enable the current space occupied by football to be repurposed to serve both the academic and athletic needs of our 500+ student-athletes at an elite level. This facility will provide a competitive advantage for football in recruiting top prospects while also better equipping us in Preparing Champions for Life across all sports programs."

Four new graduate programs are coming to the University of Maryland
Andrew Dunn·@AndrewE_Dunn·November 03, 2016
Chair of senate programs, curricula and courses committee Andrew Harris proposes graduate and doctoral programs in environmental health sciences. (Ryan Eskalis/The Diamondback)
The University Senate approved four new academic programs in the finance, environmental health and computer networking fields during its meeting Wednesday.
The new programs — a master's and doctoral program in environmental health sciences as well as a master's program in quantitative finance and a graduate certificate program in computer networking — still require approval from university President Wallace Loh, the University System of Maryland Board of Regents and the Maryland Higher Education Commission. The Senate Executive Committee voted in approval of the programs on Oct. 19.
The doctorate in environmental health passed 91-4 with two abstentions. The related master's program passed 91-3. None of the four proposals faced discussion on the senate floor.
The new 24-credit environmental health doctoral program would be the eighth doctoral program within the public health school. The 31-credit master's program was designed. Andrew Harris, programs, curricula and courses committee chairman, presented all four proposals and described the rationale for each.
"Toxicology is a subset of environmental health," Harris said. "The lack of a broader Ph.D. program has made it difficult to attract students who are reluctant to be perceived as toxicologists."
The public health school and the Maryland Institute for Applied Environmental Health would host both graduate-level programs. The school anticipates about 15 students to be in the new doctorate program, some of whom would be transitioning out of the current toxicology specialization, according to an October Diamondback article.
The quantitative finance master's program would provide a more specific concentration than the current master's program in finance in the business school. The new 36-credit program would focus on applying mathematical and statistical models to financial markets, Harris said. It passed 86-7 with three abstentions.
The business school had 129 students register in the finance master's program for the 2015-16 school year — below the typical enrollment goal of about 180 newly admitted students per year, according to the senate's proposal for the program.
The proposal stated that some admitted students who did not accept their places in the business school chose schools with more specific master's programs, similar to the new proposed program. The business school anticipates that about 60 students of each new class of 180 or so would go into the quantitative finance program, according to the proposal.
The graduate certificate in computer networking would be available to graduate engineering students enrolled in the engineering school. The senate passed the proposal with a vote of 90-4, with five abstentions.
The 12-credit program would give interested students additional certification in the field — something that nearly half of current telecommunications students described as "very valuable," according to a survey conducted by the engineering school.
Pending approvals from Loh, the Board of Regents and the Maryland Higher Education Commission, the programs have a target start date of the fall 2017 semester, according to the proposals.
The final senate meeting of the academic semester is set for Dec. 6 and will feature Loh giving his State of the Campus address.

It was another successful day in the office for Britain's para-equestrian dressage riders, as four more medals were added to Great Britain's tally out at the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games, including Team gold, and with it, Paralympic qualification for the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games.
After Lee's superb score yesterday, the remaining team members took to the arena today. First to go was Grade IV's Sophie Wells with Valerius. Scoring highly for her changes and trot work, a final score of 74.333% saw Sophie clinch the silver medal, with gold going to Belgium's Michele George and the bronze to The Netherland's Frank Hosmar.
The Grade II's were the next to face the music, with Natasha Baker and Cabral (owned by Mr and Mrs Baker, Mrs Alder and Christian Landolt) the last to go in the class. Knowing they would need to beat Dutch newcomer Rixt van der Horst to take the gold, Natasha gave it everything with a somewhat spooky Cabral to post 70.914%, just shy of the gold but claiming the silver.
A disappointed Natasha said; "He did some of his best ever work in there. He warmed up beautifully and we had a plan after Tuesday as I wanted a higher percentage and he went in there and felt just incredible. Then some incredibly unfortunate spooks spoilt it. His free walk was stunning; worth a ten but then the camera swung round and he went 'whoa, what's that'! They're horses and I'm just really disappointed. I still got 71% with the spooks.
In the Grade Ia it was normal service resumed as Sophie Christiansen and her own Janeiro 6 topped the leader board in a close fought battle. Singapore's Laurentia Yen-Yi Tan threw down the gauntlet with a strong early score of 75.087% for the rest to chase. Sophie went a few horses later and it was amazingly close but some determined riding edged the final marks above the London medallist at the finish of the test and the final collectives sealed the lead with a final score of 77.565%. The Italian partnership of Sara Morganti and Royal Delight had everyone on the edge of their seats but the finally tally came out at 76.478% and gold was Sophie's to retain her title won in Lexington 2010.
Britain's foursome of Natasha Baker, Sophie Christiansen, Lee Pearson and Sophie Wells put up a combined total of 456.024 from the team and individual tests which gave them a near 20% victory over silver medallists The Netherlands (432.941); Germany was fractionally behind on 432.510 for bronze. Today's result has also ensured that the GB teams unbeaten team championship record, since 1996, remains intact.

Third Round of 2022 Playoffs
The playoffs have reached the semifinals for the lower six classes in the AHSAA while the teams in the 7A state championship game are set. AISA championship games winners can celebrate titles for 2022. Here are a few tidbits from this week's action.
* The AFHSHS.org Power Ratings and the scoring averages for every team will be available by Sunday. If you missed any of the football action we will give you a weekly rundown of everything. We will also have previews for every semi-final game Sunday. Predictions will be posted Monday.
* The AISA State Championship games were played Thursday at the Cramton Bowl in Montgomery.
8-Man - Evangel Christian Academy outscored Springwood 38-28 to claim the first ever AISA 8-Man football championship.
A - Lowndes Academy (11-2) defeated Jackson Academy (12-1) 24-8 to claim their second consecutive title.
AA - Patrician Academy (13-0) shutout Clarke Prep (9-4) 60-0 to claim their first title since 2017.
AAA - Lee-Scott Academy (12-0) defeated Glenwood School (8-4) 35-21 to claim their first championship since 1994.
* The five remaining undefeated teams:
6A - Theodore (13-0)
4A - Catholic Montgomery (13-0)
2A - Fyffe (13-0)
AISA - Lee-Scott Academy (12-0), Patrician (13-0)
* The Class 7A finals are set. Thompson will take on Auburn on November 30th in Auburn to kickoff the Super Seven Championships. The Warriors shocked Hoover 40-10 while Auburn scored late and held off Central Phenix City 14-13. These two teams played an epic game in 2020 with Thompson pulling out a dramatic 29-28 come from behind victory. Class 7A went exactly as predicted the first two rounds before seeing both underdogs win in the semi-finals.
* Second half rallies were the norm for a few teams Friday night. Ramsay fell behind 19-7 before coming back to take a 26-19 win over Leeds. Saraland led 27-0 after the first quarter and 37-14 at the half. But Homewood rallied to tie the game at fifty before failing on a two-point try in overtime. The Spartans held on for a dramatic 57-56 win.
* Pisgah jumped out to a 20-8 halftime lead, fell behind 22-20 before pulling out a 26-22 victory over Aliceville. Auburn scored with 1:49 remaining to defeat Central Phenix City 14-13. Gulf Shores led 14-0 at the half but eventually fell to Faith Academy 20-14. Pleasant Grove defeated Arab 41-38 in double overtime.
* How about Andalusia? The Bulldogs have survived to play in the semifinals six of the last seven seasons but have not reached the title game since 1977 when they won their last championship under coach Don Sharpe. The Bulldogs take on Catholic Montgomery. The Knights defeated the Bulldogs 45-23 in week ten.
* Only a single number four seed advanced to the semi-finals as Mobile Christian defeated Pike County 27-7. Mobile Christian forfeited four games, lost three others before reeling off six consecutive wins.
* Coosa Christian, Millry, St. James and Theodore won a third round playoff game for the first time in their school's history and will advance to the semi-finals for the first time.
* Teams who have not reached the semi-finals in a while include; B.B. Comer (1995), Charles Henderson (2013), Muscle Shoals (2013), Pisgah (2002) and Sylvania (1994).
* Teams who have never won a semi-final playoff game include; Coosa Christian, Faith Academy, Highland Home, Millry, St. James, Sylvania and Theodore.
* Teams who have never hosted a semi-final game include; Theodore, Ramsay and Millry.
* Teams who have not won a semi-final playoff game in a while include; Andalusia (1977), B.B. Comer (1995), Cherokee County (2009), Mountain Brook (1996) and Pisgah (2000).
* Teams you do not wish to face in the semi-finals along with their all-time record in the semi-finals. Charles Henderson 2-0, Pleasant Grove 4-1, Cherokee County 4-1, Fyffe 7-2, Oneonta 10-2.
* Best home team records in the semi-finals of the playoffs for teams hosting games next week. Cherokee County 3-0, Mobile Christian 4-1 and Fyffe 5-2.
* The road team with the best record for teams playing next week on the road is by far Oneonta at 7-1.
* A lot of teams will be seeking their first ever trip to a championship game. Theodore, St. James, Sylvania, Highland Home, Millry and Coosa Christian will be in search of their first ever title game next week.
* The best semi-final matchups I would most like to see; Saraland (12-1) at Theodore (13-0), Andalusia (12-1) at Catholic Montgomery (13-0) and Leroy (11-1) at Millry (12-1). All those games are rematches from this season.
* Of the 26 remaining teams, fifteen have never won an AHSAA playoff state championship. Here are those schools hoping to bring home their first title.
7A - Auburn
6A - Muscle Shoals, Saraland, Theodore
5A - Faith Academy, Pleasant Grove
4A - Catholic Montgomery
3A - St. James, Sylvania, Mobile Christian
2A - B.B. Comer, Highland Home, Pisgah
1A - Coosa Christian, Millry
* Theodore is 13-0 for the first time in school history Lee-Scott Academy in 12-0 for the first time ever.
* Deshler lost to Oneonta 62-21 to snap the state's longest winning streak at thirteen games. Now Catholic Montgomery, Theodore, Fyffe and Patrician share the lead with 13 consecutive victories.
* Catholic Montgomery had scored 40 or more points in twelve straight games and 23 of the last 25 games before being held to a season low 21 points in a 21-14 win over Handley.
* Fyffe extended their streak of consecutive games scoring to 304 games after beating Tuscaloosa Academy in the third round 35-7. T.R. Miller sits atop this list with a string of 354 games.

Great Moments in Alabama High School Football History
The first football game played by a high school team in Alabama was in 1892 when Central Birmingham (Phillips) lost to Alabama 56-0 on November 11.


In early October 2015, I got handed a script for a new feature film called Prizefighter, written by Matt Hookings.
Matt and I have been working together since my first short film Pollen and this was his new feature film.
Showcasing technical visual effects work from 2011-2016.
This includes Matchmove Supervising, Onset VFX Camera Supervising, Photogrammetry, Roto, RotoAnim, Intergrated Mocap and Animation, Modelling in Maya, Texturing, UV layout in Headus, Projections in Mari, Lighting, Lookdev/Rendering in Maya/Arnold and Compositing in Nuke.
This is the first animation test for my new short film, 'The Unknown Soldier'.
I used some stock mo-cap of a skipping rope cycle, and after a bit of cleanup with the feet contacting the floor I parented the rope handles to the hands and then hand animated the rope rotating around the body.
This is the first test render from Nuke and it's already looking great with very little additional compositing.
Rendered from Maya using Arnold Renderer. Composited in Nuke.
Click on the image above to maximise it.
I downloaded some stock mocap of various actions and then attached it to the model to test and see how the character would react.
There was a lot of cleanup for some of the test shots I want to use but overall it was great to see it working and it was better than I could ever do myself as an animator.
This is the look development for the soldier character from the short film 'The Unknown Soldier'.
Modelled in Maya. UV in Headus. Textures in Photoshop. Lighting and Rendered using Arnold and Maya.
A quick breakdown for the giraffe scene.
Disciplines: Modelling – Lighting – Texturing, UV Layout – Rendering – Compositing.
Software: Maya, Mari, Headus UV, Arnold Renderer, Photoshop, Nuke.
The backplate was shot using a Canon 550d.
I do a lot of panoramic photography but I wanted to try producing a panoramic HDR image so I could control the background and foreground exposures without losing any detail. A 2 day camping trip around the stunning hills of Karkai Mountain in India was the perfect setting to attempt this for the first time.
I took 4 photos with 9 bracketed exposures [-4 -3 -2 -1 0 +1 +2 +3 +4]. A total of 36 images!
This image was taken at the start of the trek around Karaki Mountain.
The journey to get here from Mumbai was a 3 hour train ride, followed by a 4 hour taxi ride, followed by a uncomfortably hot and cramped final 20 minute drive in the back of this van. All of this before a day's trek to the top of the mountain in 30° heat.

When Canadians watched their hockey team take on the US in the Olympics, a new sport was born: synchronised flushing.
Water use data from the Edmonton water utility, EPCOR, show how residential water use dropped during the game, only to spike between periods. And as the game became more nail-biting, even fewer people would give up viewing for the call of nature. It also appears that them Canadians had foresight – they conscientiously went to the toilet before the game started.
If this isn't a reason to install water meters, I don't know what is.

The non-fungible token (NFT) mania spilled over into the second quarter of 2021, with a significant amount recorded in sales.
According to data given by dApps insights platform DappRadar, the top 15 NFT sales in Q2 2021 totaled $37.23 million. With a total of $11.88 million, CryptoPunks was the highest-grossing NFT. Edward Snowden was auctioned for $5.27 million, which was the second-highest price.
Compared to early this year, most trading activities were seen around cheaper NFTs, while sales of costlier NFTs halted. The dip in cryptocurrency prices that began in mid-April had a significant influence on trading activity.
During the quarter, there was a sense that the NFT market was falling in lockstep with the cryptocurrency industry. The top NFT sales, on the other hand, have partially disproved this notion.
Fans of digital arts are rapidly exhibiting a preference for NFTs that provide added value, as evidenced by the top sales. Virtual pieces of land and NFTs with DeFi capabilities, for example, are becoming increasingly popular. NFT games are also becoming increasingly popular.
In Q2, NFT sales more than doubled
Compared to the first three months of the year, NFT sales increased by 111.46 percent in the same quarter. The Ethereum and Flow blockchains had the most NFT trade volume.
With the growing popularity of NFTs, there is also increasing competition in the blockchains that house most sales. Established blockchains such as Binance and Tezos are making inroads into the NFT arena, which is likely to energize the market.
The rise in popularity of crypto art has aided the proliferation of NFTs. NFT makes use of a digital ledger to securely value, purchase, and exchange digital art.
In addition, unlike traditional physical art, NFT creators can use digital signs backed by blockchain technology to prove ownership of their creations. As a result, NFTs can prevent illicit digital work duplication.
