#60yearsofJamesBond: On Her Majesty's Secret Service
When Sean Connery decided to leave the role of James Bond after production on "You Only Live Twice", it was decided that, rather than let the Bond series end, the role would be recast. But who would be suitable for the part that Connery had basically made his own? One candidate whose name cropped up again and again was Roger Moore. However, he had commitments to the ITC series The Saint, and so wasn't available. Other names in the frame included John Richardson, Anthony Rogers, Terence Stamp, Oliver Reed and Timothy Dalton. Over 400 actors, in total, were seen for the part: probably one of the most extensive casting sessions in cinema history for a leading role. And the name chosen from this huge process? A virtually unknown Australian advert actor called George Lazenby. It was quite an unusual choice to say the least, especially considering the standard he would be measured against. Nonetheless, it was Lazenby who the producers wanted, and he made his debut, and, indeed, his final appearance as Bond in 1969's "On Her Majesty's Secret Service". This was to be a Bond film like no other: not only would Bond be seen to be more vulnerable than previously, there would be a greater emotional heart, an attempt to push the boundaries in terms of effects and stunts, and perhaps the most shocking ending to a Bond film in the series' 60 year history... And it's this daring, radical approach that makes this one of the very best films in the franchise to date. From beginning to end, this is something very, very special, and it isn't afraid to break with established tradition in order to be successful.

According to the White House, the unidentified flying objects could have been research or commercial balloons.
WASHINGTON - A White House spokesman said on Tuesday that three unidentified flying objects shot down from North American airspace may have been balloons used for commercial or research purposes that did not directly threaten the United States. According to the information we have so far, the intelligence community is looking at the possibility that these balloons are simply tied to a commercial or benign purpose as a leading explanation, according to spokesman John Kirby. Nobody has expressed a willingness to take responsibility.

What is artificial intelligence (AI)?
How does AI work? As the hype around AI has accelerated, vendors have been scrambling to promote how their products and services use AI. Often what they refer to as AI is simply one component of AI, such as machine learning. AI requires a foundation of specialized hardware and software for writing and training machine learning algorithms. No one programming language is synonymous with AI, but a few, including Python, R and Java, are popular.

Doctor Who: Love and War Review
Back in 2012, as part of the anniversary celebrations marking 20 years since the creation of Bernice Summerfield, Big Finish decided to mark such a momentous occasion with the release of an audio adaptation of "Love and War", the 1992 book which introduced Bernice Summerfield for the first time. Not only did this mean that Lisa Bowerman would depict the very first story to feature Bernice Summerfield, but also it marked a chance for Sylvester McCoy and Sophie Aldred to depict the circumstances of the Doctor and Ace's parting: an event talked about for years, but never performed by the actors. In many ways, then, this was a hugely significant release, and there was a lot of anticipation for it from fans of the classic series' final few years, and those who followed the books in the early 1990s too. And it is safe to say that "Love and War" is a triumph: not only did it spawn a further nine Novel Adaptations, but it managed to distil one of the most popular New Adventures into a two-hour release that never feels overly compressed or rushed. As such, it stands as one of the best adaptations Big Finish has ever done, whether it be a Doctor Who novel or as part of their Big Finish Classics range.
