The Bright Side

The Bright Side by Book Resume:
"Anyone who has had their life completely gutted and rewired will adore this family story. Bradbury's dark humour and gloriously upbeat voice makes it the perfect antidote to a tough year. I loved it!" —Plum Johnson, author of They Left Us Everything The hilarious and moving story of how a modern woman's life can change utterly in a single year—and how, even when life whacks you in the head, you can find yourself rewarded with grace. Cathrin Bradbury's life imploded in the space of a few months. Her beloved parents died, her marriage limped to an end after twenty-five years, her heavily mortgaged house turned against her, and a promising new romance ended in crushing disappointment. But somewhere in that year, a new path, or three or four, began to open up. As Bradbury navigates the setbacks, her troubled brother makes an astounding recovery to health and sobriety. She is reunited with her closest childhood friend after a long absence, with deeply satisfying results. She and her four siblings feel their way to becoming a new kind of family without their parents. And her adult children emerge into sharper focus, each gloriously and uniquely themselves. Slowly, she discovers that the path is steep, the view obscured, but there's light ahead. Cathartic, hilarious, and profoundly moving, The Bright Side broadens the way we think and talk to each other about the ordinary experiences we all share. A master of the uncomplaining voice, Bradbury combines grace and humanity to look at the world unflinchingly and see what makes it wonderful and absurd at the same time, and to let us all in on the secret.

The Bright Side of Disaster by Katherine Center Book Resume:
A new mother must adjust to a life she never asked for—and learns that sometimes the worst thing that can happen is exactly what you've been waiting for—in this spirited novel from the New York Times bestselling author of How to Walk Away and Things You Save in a Fire "Charming . . . cleverly told and uncommonly appealing."—People Very pregnant and not quite married, Jenny Harris doesn't mind that she and her live-in fiancé, Dean, accidentally started their family a little earlier than planned. But Dean is acting distant, and the night he runs out for cigarettes and doesn't come back, he demotes himself from future husband to sperm donor. And the very next day, Jenny goes into labor. In the months that follow, Jenny plunges into a life she never anticipated: single motherhood. At least with the sleep deprivation, sore boobs, and fits of crying (both hers and the baby's), there's not much time to dwell on her broken heart. Then things start looking up: Jenny learns how to do everything one-handed, makes friends in a mommy group, and even gets to know a handsome, helpful neighbor. But Dean is never far from Jenny's thoughts or, it turns out, her doorstep, and in the end she must choose between the old life she thought she wanted and the new life she's been lucky to find.

Finding the Bright Side by Shannon Bream Book Resume:
From the host of Fox News @ Night, a deeply personal book about finding purpose and growth amid life's unpredictability. "What a gift this book will be to your soul."—Lysa TerKeurst Whether it's her work today as a reporter and host for Fox News, her years in law school, or the time she spent competing in pageants like Miss America, Shannon Bream has spent her entire adult life navigating high-pressure environments where perfection is expected and competition is the name of the game. But in this laugh-out-loud book of stories and inspiration, Shannon shares the moments away from the cameras and the halls of government, in which she learned that the values and faith of her blue-collar upbringing could keep her grounded in a world where everyone wants you to be something other than who you are. In Finding the Bright Side, Shannon continues a conversation about authenticity, humility, and trusting in God that she's already begun with her followers on social media. She shares behind-the-scenes stories from Washington, D.C., revelations from her time reporting on the Supreme Court, and lessons learned from the most challenging moments of her life—from the time she was fired from her first job and told, "You're the worst person I've ever seen on TV," to the time she heard "There is no cure." But through all of this, faith (and a little bit of stubbornness!) has helped Shannon to keep hope, find purpose in the pain, and find laughs along the way. Praise for Finding the Bright Side "Integrity. Faith. Diligence. Success. Shannon's book—and life—elevate these cherished values. For anyone hoping to move forward without compromising convictions, this book is a must read."—Max Lucado, pastor and bestselling author "In Finding the Bright Side, Shannon reveals that her sunny face and disposition is not just from good genetics. Her success is long in coming and well-deserved. She is sheer joy in a bottle."—Kathie Lee Gifford, bestselling author of The Rock, the Road and the Rabbi

Author: Jess Ekstrom
Chasing the Bright Side by Jess Ekstrom Book Resume:
One flicker of hope. That's all it takes to catapult yourself into the life you've always imagined. Success is not born out of skill, school, where we're from, who we know, or what we scored on the SAT. None of us were born ready. None of us started life knowing how to fly a plane or launch a company or knit a sweater for our dog. But we are born with something more important than skills. We're born with optimism—the initial seed for success. Optimism fuels the belief that you can be the one to create the good the world needs. But you've got to hone it. And practice it. And determine to live from it. In Chasing the Bright Side, Jess Ekstrom shares her own inspirational story of how optimism helped her overcome multiple challenges, and the dynamic ways her mind-set propelled her as a young entrepreneur, international speaker, and philanthropist. Do you have dreams for yourself and the world that are tucked away in your box of somedays? What would happen if today was the day you opened the box? And what if that box was the key to a better tomorrow? Jess's journey will inspire you embrace the power of optimism in your own life, and help you reimagine your purpose so you create good in the world while fulfilling your own dreams—right where you are.

Aggression and Adaptation
Author: Todd D. Little,Philip C. Rodkin,Patricia H. Hawley
Aggression and Adaptation by Todd D. Little,Philip C. Rodkin,Patricia H. Hawley Book Resume:
Aggression and Adaptation raises thought provoking questions about interpersonal functioning within social groups. The reader may find him/herself entertaining thoughts about the nature of goodness as the chapters suggest that aggressive behavior can offer significant avenues for personal growth, goal attainment, and bolstering one's social standing. The volume brings to light alternative points of view to the prevailing orthodoxy that aggression equals pathology. Interdisciplinary in nature, the book features evolutionary, school, feminist, historical, and methodological perspectives. Adaptation is addressed at multiple levels, the first of which is ultimate causation. Four chapters cover the aggression-adaptation link from various evolutionary perspectives. Succeeding chapters focus on: adaptation as psychological adjustment; aggression in the peer system and the contexts in which these systems occur; and the self-other dialectic in societal context, highlighting that aggressive children are often well-embedded in the social network. Intended for researchers in developmental, evolutionary, social, personality, and educational psychology, as well as developmental psychopathologists, this book is also suitable for advanced courses on social-personality development, the psychology of violence, aggression, peer relationships, and human motivation.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the ingenious comic performer, founding member of Monty Python, and creator of Spamalot, comes an absurdly funny memoir of unparalleled wit and heartfelt candor We know him best for his unforgettable roles on Monty Python—from the Flying Circus to The Meaning of Life. Now, Eric Idle reflects on the meaning of his own life in this entertaining memoir that takes us on a remarkable journey from his childhood in an austere boarding school through his successful career in comedy, television, theater, and film.

The Bright Side Sanctuary for Animals
Author: Becky Mandelbaum
The Bright Side Sanctuary for Animals by Becky Mandelbaum Book Resume:
From the winner of the 2016 Flannery O'Connor Award for Short Fiction comes a "heartwarming and sharp-witted debut" (Publishers Weekly, starred review) set over one emotionally charged weekend at an animal sanctuary in western Kansas, where maternal, romantic, and community bonds are tested in the wake of an estranged daughter's homecoming. The Bright Side Sanctuary for Animals is in trouble. It's late 2016 when Ariel discovers that her mother Mona's animal sanctuary in Western Kansas has not only been the target of anti-Semitic hate crimes—but that it's also for sale, due to hidden financial ruin. Ariel, living a new life in progressive Lawrence, and estranged from her mother for six long years, knows she has to return to her childhood home—especially since her own past may have played a role in the attack on the sanctuary. Ariel expects tension, maybe even fury, but she doesn't anticipate that her first love, a ranch hand named Gideon, will still be working at Bright Side. Back in Lawrence, Ariel's charming but hapless fiancé, Dex, grows paranoid about her sudden departure. After uncovering Mona's address, he sets out to confront Ariel, but instead finds her grappling with the life she's abandoned. Amid the reparations with her mother, it's clear that Ariel is questioning the meaning of her life in Lawrence, and whether she belongs with Dex or someone else, somewhere else. Acclaimed writer Pam Houston says that "Mandelbaum is wise beyond her years and twice as talented," and The Bright Side Sanctuary for Animals poignantly explores the unique love and tension between mothers and daughters, and humans and animals alike. "A story of reconciliation and forgiveness (and so many animals)" (Steven Rowley, bestselling author of Lily and the Octopus), Mandelbaum's debut offers a panoramic view of the meaning of home and reminds us that love provides refuge, and underscores our similarities as human beings, no matter how alone or far apart we may feel.

Take a Walk on the Bright Side

Publisher: FriesenPress
Take a Walk on the Bright Side by Eugene Bright Book Resume:
Set against the backdrop of over one hundred years of world history, Take a Walk on the Bright Side begins with the story of Eugene Bright's restless, entrepreneurial grandfather, Tom Bright, who uprooted his young family in 1907 to travel west and build a homestead in Saskatchewan. A few years later, he moved on and started over again in Montana, only to flee the United States when a confrontation with a neighbour turned dangerous. Tom was a colourful character who was married six times – twice to the same woman. Eugene's father, Ray Bright, left home at eighteen to work as a cowboy in Montana before marrying Lottie Sampson and settling down in Ontario to start farming. Although Lottie did not want any children, they had four boys and four girls. The family lived without running water or electricity, but they "ate like kings" according to a hired man. Eugene and his brothers and sisters walked across neighbouring fields to a one-room schoolhouse run by an outstanding teacher. Eugene worked hard on the farm and at school, and he went on to attend bible college and university, beginning a thirty-one-year career as a teacher, a school principal and a "master" at a teachers' college. Told by the decade and extensively illustrated, Take a Walk on the Bright Side is a multi-generational tale brought to life by a keen observer.

They Left Us Everything by Plum Johnson Book Resume:
Winner of the 2015 RBC Taylor Prize Winner of the 2016 Forest of Reading® Evergreen Award™ After almost twenty years of caring for elderly parents—first for their senile father, and then for their cantankerous ninety-three-year-old mother—author Plum Johnson and her three younger brothers experience conflicted feelings of grief and relief when their mother, the surviving parent, dies. Now they must empty and sell the beloved family home, which hasn't been de-cluttered in more than half a century. Twenty-three rooms bulge with history, antiques, and oxygen tanks. Plum remembers her loving but difficult parents who could not have been more different: the British father, a handsome, disciplined patriarch who nonetheless could not control his opinionated, extroverted Southern-belle wife who loved tennis and gin gimlets. The task consumes her, becoming more rewarding than she ever imagined. Items from childhood trigger memories of her eccentric family growing up in a small town on the shores of Lake Ontario in the 1950s and 60s. But unearthing new facts about her parents helps her reconcile those relationships with a more accepting perspective about who they were and what they valued. They Left Us Everything is a funny, touching memoir about the importance of preserving family history to make sense of the past and nurturing family bonds to safeguard the future.

Spite by Simon McCarthy-Jones Book Resume:
Spite angers and enrages us, but it also keeps us honest. In this provocative account, a psychologist examines how petty vengeance explains human thriving. Spite seems utterly useless. You don't gain anything by hurting yourself just so you can hurt someone else. So why hasn't evolution weeded out all the spiteful people? As psychologist Simon McCarthy-Jones argues, spite seems pointless because we're looking at it wrong. Spite isn't just what we feel when a car cuts us off or when a partner cheats. It's what we feel when we want to punish a bad act simply because it was bad. Spite is our fairness instinct, an innate resistance to exploitation, and it is one of the building blocks of human civilization. As McCarthy-Jones explains, some of history's most important developments—the rise of religions, governments, and even moral codes—were actually redirections of spiteful impulses. A provocative, engaging read, Spite shows that if you really want to understand what makes us human, you can't just look at noble ideas like altruism and cooperation. You need to understand our darker impulses as well.

One Thousand Years
Author: David Coleman
Publisher: WestBow Press
One Thousand Years by David Coleman Book Resume:
Imagine Jesus ruling over a kingdom that encompasses the entire planet with no one denying that Christ is God. Perfect justice will prevail throughout the world, and any rebellion will draw quick retribution. Righteousness will triumph over evil everywhere, and God's glory will extend from Jerusalem to the ends of the earth. The greatest thing about the above scenario is that it is true! Yet, because many sermons and Bible studies on prophetic subjects tend to focus upon darker events foretold in Scripture, most believers know little about it. Handed pen and paper, many believers could probably write out relatively well-informed descriptions of end-time topics such as the Tribulation, the Antichrist, and the Battle of Armageddon, but ask them to describe the Millennium and many would respond with a blank stare. If that describes you, this book will fill you in on the bright future that awaits you. One Thousand Years provides an overview of Christ's glorious earthly kingdom and explains why its literal fulfillment is guaranteed in Scripture.

Supercrossed by John O'Loughlin Book Resume:
A volume of aphoristic and essayistic philosophy with metaphysical overtones that examines the distinctions between concretion and abstraction across a number of categories, not least in relation to gender and class, with interesting not to say cogent conclusions.
Author: Booker T. Washington
Up from Slavery by Booker T. Washington Book Resume:
Up from Slavery is one of the most influential biographies ever written. On one level it is the life story of Booker T. Washington and his rise from slavery to accomplished educator and activist. On another level it the story of how an entire race strove to better itself. Washington makes it clear just how far race relations in America have come, and to some extent, just how much further they have to go. Written with wit and clarity.

The Routledge Companion to Leadership

Publisher: Taylor & Francis
The Routledge Companion to Leadership by John Storey,Jean Hartley,Jean-Louis Denis,Paul 't Hart,David Ulrich Book Resume:
Leadership has never been more important – and divisive – than it is today. The idea and discourse of the leader remains a critical factor in organizational and societal performance, but there is evident tension between the persistent focus on the critical importance of individual leaders and the increasing emphasis on collective leadership. The Routledge Companion to Leadership provides a survey of the contentious and dynamic discipline of leadership. This collection covers key themes in the field, including advances in leadership theory, leadership in a range of contexts and geographies, leadership failure, leadership process, and leadership development. Topics range from micro studies to wider political analyses of leadership, taking in unusual but important aspects such as portrayals of leadership in architecture, media, and science fiction. Contributions from 61 internationally renowned authors from 16 countries make available the full range of perspectives, approaches, and insights on the idea of leadership. Providing both a social sciences and a psychological approach, these go beyond common themes to offer diverse perspectives on such topics as emotion and leadership, portrayals of leadership. This volume situates leadership debates and evidence within contemporary leadership crises, while ensuring that the explorations of the issues are of enduring relevance. With wide and critical coverage of the key topics and potent contextualization of themes in current events, The Routledge Companion to Leadership is the ideal resource for graduate study in leadership.

Q: Make text auto-size between a width and height in MoviePy as TextClip I am trying to get the text in my code in MoviePy to automatically adjust to the center of the screen (which it is currently doing), but I don't want to set a fontsize. I am trying to get the text size to fit between a width and height so it autoadjusts its own size, but I can not for the life of me figure out what I am doing wrong.
I can get it to appear at a set font size, but as soon as I try autosizing, the text just does load.
screensize = (1000,500)

credits = (TextClip(txt_credits, color='black',
        font="Keep-Calm-Medium", kerning=-2, interline=-1, size =
screensize)
      .set_duration(25)
      .set_start(5)
      )

A: You can use the method='caption' property of the TextClip class:

Method: either 'label' (default, the picture will be autosized so as to fit exactly the size) or 'caption' (the text will be drawn in a picture with fixed size provided with the size argument). If caption, the text will be wrapped automagically (sometimes it is buggy, not my fault, complain to the ImageMagick crew) and can be aligned or centered (see parameter align).

screensize = (1000,500)

credits = (TextClip(txt_credits, color='black',
        font="Keep-Calm-Medium", kerning=-2, interline=-1, size =
screensize, method='caption')
      .set_duration(25)
      .set_start(5)

"I met with Old World Cottages during the design phase of my new residence. They were able to produce my dream home better than I could envision it myself. Old World Cottages listens to their clients and strives to provide an end result that is truly a work of art that exceeds expectations. Additionally, Old World Realty also handled the sale of one of my properties as well as the purchase of my new residential construction site. Old World Realty's real estate team made the sale and purchase process efficient and stress free."
"I initially researched several prominent Springfield area builders - talking with them at trade shows; touring homes they had built. And while they all were competent and produced beautiful homes, it was obvious to me that Old World Cottages was the designer and builder I wanted for my project. Old World Cottages attention to detail throughout the entire process - from design to construction is phenomenal."
"We immediately fell in love with our home designed and built by Old World Cottages. There is not a detail inside or out that has been missed. Everything from the large beams, old world style and custom wall finishes make our home very unique. If we were to relocate we would definitely seek out Old World Cottages to design and build another home for us."

"After a career in the military, my wife and I moved back to Southwest Missouri to start a new chapter in our life and build our dream home. After several glowing recommendations, we met with Old World Cottages and were immediately impressed. Our core values in the USAF were Integrity First, Service Before Self, and Excellence in All We Do, and my experience in the military taught me to value integrity above all else. OWC embodies those core values. I trust Brian completely, he did everything he could to meet our expectations, and built an incredible house from napkin design to finished product. I am proud to say OWC built our home and tell everyone we meet that you will never find a better builder. I am also honored to say Brian is a friend. If you can say that after the long process of building a custom home, you know you have an amazing builder. Thank you, Old World Cottages!"
"My Old World Cottages project was completed timely; professionally and amazingly under budget. I could not have asked for more. I not only have a design/build professional that I will gladly recommend to anyone contemplating the building process but I gained a good friend for life."
"OWC designed and built us a beautiful home. I found great advantage in the fact that OWC is not just a builder but also has an architectural background. This combination helped several times during our home build. OWC has been very helpful, creative and resourceful. Our style was different than other homes OWC had built but they did an excellent job of adjusting to our style. OWC often went beyond expectations with their time and resources. OWC was a terrific building partner and friend."

ARSENAL star Lukas Podolski admits he feels mentally and physically stronger after coming back from a four-month injury lay-off.
The 28-year-old's promising start to the season was punctuated by a hamstring injury he picked up in the Gunners' 2-0 Champions League play-off defeat of Fenerbahce, and his return took longer than expected with the original prognosis being he would be out of action for 10 weeks.
Podolski made an instant impact when he struck the final goal in Arsenal's 3-1 victory over West Ham.
And the Germany international admits it feels great to be back in the thick of it as he is a 'nervous' watcher.
"It was not easy, but I was happy to play again. When you are out for a long time it is not easy, but I am happy to be back. I have never had a muscle injury before so it was a new experience and not easy.
"It was a hamstring injury, my left one. They take a long time. It is nearly four months since I played.
"Every morning you come in, you have treatment, you work to get fit while the others are working outside.
"It is not easy for the head, but this is the way and I am young enough to play a lot of matches."
And Podolski is now focussed on adding a Premier League title to the Bundesliga crown he won with Bayern Munich.
He added: "Every match is important now, every match is about three points," Podolski added.
"We are top and of course we want to stay there.
"It is not easy because there are five or six teams who are all strong this season, but we have a strong team and we will fight."

James Bond Revisited: Diamonds Are Forever – Connery's Last is a Lump of Coal
Lukas Ridge

Welcome to James Bond Revisited, a series where I watch and review every James Bond film leading up to the 25th film in the franchise No Time To Die, set to release this November. Today, we examine 1971's Diamonds Are Forever.
As the world entered the 1970s, producers Harry Saltzman and Cubby Broccoli found themselves at a crossroads. For the second time in as many years, the series which began in 1962, found itself without a 007.
While On Her Majesty's Secret Service stands out today, the film received mixed reviews. Audiences were unwilling to accept George Lazenby as the new James Bond and the actor left the series.
Why did Lazenby exit? The historical record is unclear. Some say Lazenby left following the advice of his agent who said James Bond was old news. Others say it was the Studio that gave him the boot. Whichever way you slice it, Lazenby was out, turning down a seven-film contract. To this day, he remains the only actor in the official series to play James Bond only once.
The producers cast a wide net, offering the role to Michael Gambon, but even auditioning American stars like John Gavin, Burt Reynolds, and Adam West. However, the studio insisted that Sean Connery return, and return he did, making a record-breaking $1.25 million salary, which he donated to a charity for Scottish workers.
The paycheck turned out to be worth it, with the film earning $116 million on a $7.2 million budget but was it really worth dragging Connery back for one final hurrah? Let's find out as we review Diamonds are Forever.
James Bond Revisited: Diamonds Are Forever
The film opens with James Bond pursuing and brutally torturing SPECTRE agents in an attempt to find Blofeld (Charles Gray) and avenge the death of Tracy from the previous film. Bond catches up to Blofeld who is caught trying to make decoys of himself. Bond defeats Blofeld's goons and kills Blofeld.
Later, Bond is tasked with uncovering a diamond smuggling ring. Meanwhile, two assassins/lovers named Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd (Bruce Glover and Putter Smith) are assassinating diamond smugglers around the world. Bond travels to Amsterdam where he poses as a smuggler named Peter Franks and meets with one of the diamond smugglers, Tiffany Case (Jill St. John). However, the real Peter Franks shows up and Bond is forced to kill him in an elevator. He swaps IDs and Tiffany concludes that he just killed James Bond (who I guess is now a famous spy?).
Bond and Tiffany smuggle the diamonds into Las Vegas by hiding them in the corpse offscreen. Mr. Bond heads to a crematorium where he retrieves the diamonds and gives them to a smuggler/standup comic named Shady Tree. Bond is attacked by Mr. Wint & Mr. Kidd and almost cremated alive but fortunately, he is saved by Shady Tree who discovers that the diamonds were fake!
Bond heads to a Las Vegas casino where he meets a gambler named Plenty O'Toole (Lana Wood) and invites her to his bedroom where they are ambushed and Plenty is thrown out a window, landing in the pool below. Bond tells Tiffany to retrieve the real diamonds from the Circus Circus Casino and to meet him back at the hotel. Tiffany retrieves the diamonds but decides to run and hands them off to the next smuggler. However, she has a change of heart when she learns that Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd have killed Plenty, thinking she was Tiffany. She agrees to help James and takes him to meet the smuggler, Professor Metz.
Bond learns that Professor Metz is a laser refraction specialist and that he is actually building a satellite for a billionaire hotel owner, Willard Whyte. Mr. Bond is caught but escapes on a moon buggy of all things.
Bond confronts Whyte only to find two Blofeld's. It turns out Blofeld has been making look-alikes and has also been impersonating Willard Whyte. Bond kicks Blofeld's white cat to see who it runs to and assassinates Blofeld, only to discover that even the cat has body doubles and that he merely killed the decoy. Bond is subdued by Mr. Wint & Mr. Kidd and left to die in a pipeline.
Bond escapes and with a little help from Q, tracks down the kidnapped billionaire. Mr. Bond saves Whyte but learns that Tiffany has been abducted by Blofeld in the meantime.
Bond and Whyte deduce that Blofeld is creating a laser satellite using the smuggled diamonds. But they're too late! The satellite is already in orbit and after destroying nuclear weapons in China, Russia, and the US, Blofeld holds the entire world to ransom!
Whyte and Bond figure out that Blofeld is operating from an oil rig. Bond must get to the oil rig and switch out a cassette with control codes. Bond finds Tiffany playing submissive to win Blofeld's favor. She helps Bond swap the cassette and the CIA launches an attack on Blofeld, who attempts to flee, leaving all his compatriots to perish.
Blofeld escapes in a tiny submarine but Bond captures him with a crane, swinging him into the control room and destroying the base in the process.
Bond and Tiffany board a cruise ship to England. They are attacked by Mr. Wint & Mr. Kidd posing as waiters but Bond kills them first.
An Attempt to Recapture the Glory Days
Diamonds Are Forever reeks of desperation. Terrified that audiences and critics would abandon 007, the producers played it safe, deliberately attempting to recapture the magic of Goldfinger. Indeed, Diamonds Are Forever is such a retread, the film brings back not only Sean Connery but Goldfinger director Guy Hamilton and Goldfinger singer, Shirley Bassey. At one point, the plot even had Gert Fröbe returning as Auric Goldfinger's twin brother!
Even though Goldfinger was merely six years old at the time, everyone involved feels positively ancient. The film lacks the spark and humor of Goldfinger. Gone are the memorable villains and unexpected plots, and more tragically, so is any sense of danger or suspense. Diamonds Are Forever intends to be a lark and ends up being a dud.
If the series has shown us (and will continue to show us) one thing time and time again, it is that rigidly adhering to a formula is hardly a guarantee of merit.
Diamonds Are Forever marks a return to "safe ground" following On Her Majesty's Secret Service, but that ground is swamp grass, and Connery's last effort sinks in it.
The Bond Song/Title Sequence
"Diamonds never lie to me. For when love's gone, they luster on."
'Diamonds Are Forever' opens with a striking chord before sliding into an elegant melody orchestrated by Bond alumni John Barry.
The lyrics were provided once again by Don Black, however, one can't help but wish that the lyrics had a little more to do with the plot. True, diamonds are used in Blofeld's satellite but the song is not from Blofeld's point of view. Don Black had previously written 'Thunderball', recorded by Tom Jones, and in a logical world, Bassey and Jones would have switched songs since Tom Jones is a staple of the Las Vegas scene.
Admittedly, 'Diamonds Are Forever' is a good song well sung. While it doesn't achieve quite the legendary status of 'Goldfinger', the song is often cited as one of the very best Bond songs, and Bassey's last, long note proves that she still had it.
Rumor has it that Saltzman disapproved of the song and the innuendo in the lyrics. Boy, can you imagine how he must have felt listening to 'The Man With The Golden Gun'?
The visuals, on the other hand, are a different issue entirely. Watching these films in chronological order, patterns begin to emerge. In this case, the opening credits tend to be an accurate precursor of what's to come. For example, the honor of the first "true" Bond credits sequence belongs to Goldfinger, which is also the first film to perfect the Bond Formula. Casino Royale drops most of the said formula in favor of radical, new energy and it's opening credits are completely animated and doesn't include a single naked woman!
In this case, 'Diamonds Are Forever' warns the audience that they are about to sit through a tiring slog. The visuals are lazy and uninspired, showing women wearing diamond jewelry over black backgrounds. The credits lack any of the elegance or glamour that the title suggests. The sequence can't even muster up the strength to match the sleaze of Las Vegas, the closest we get is Blofeld's "pussy" between a woman's legs.
It is less of an opening title sequence and more a harbinger of doom.
Sean Connery: Too Old to Spy
As mentioned above, Sean Connery was paid a staggering $1.25 million dollars to return, signing a two-picture deal, though only one materialized. Ultimately, this was for the best.
From the moment he appears onscreen, it is apparent that Sean Connery is too old for the part. With his lethargic attitude and broad figure, he looks more like a used-car salesman than an international spy. Connery was only 40 years old at the time of filming, but a bad toupee and leather face age him uncomfortably. With his youth and vitality gone, so goes the fantasy. The films are not willing to acknowledge Connery's age and suddenly the movie less a fantasy for the audience and more a fantasy for middle-aged men.
If you thought Connery didn't care while filming You Only Live Twice, prepare yourself for a performance that becomes the picture definition of the word 'flaccid.' Connery is widely regarded as the best Bond not because he was the first, but because he played the part with glee. He pulled a sly smirk when he outsmarts a baddie, with a glint of confidence in his eye and he portrayed the sudden violence inherent in the character with an honest intensity. Watching Connery go from jovial to threatening sends shivers down your spine. But nine years on, and it is clear that Connery is simply done playing James Bond. His own lavish lifestyle had surpassed the character.
However, unlike You Only Live Twice, where Connery was less engaged in an otherwise engaging movie, in Diamonds Are Forever, the entire crew seems to be asleep at the wheel.
A Wheezy Finale
Guy Hamilton directs Diamonds Are Forever with a been-there-done-that attitude. Just about every scene feels as though it was figured out on the set the day of filming.
However, there is one glorious sequence, and it is at the very beginning. The film almost explodes with energy in its first minute, as Bond pursues Blofeld with laser focus. We begin with an appropriately sparkly gunbarrel sequence before we radial out to Japan. The movie opens with vim as Bond throws a criminal through a door. Then, it's on to Cairo, where a gambler in a fez says "hit me" before Bond spins him around and fulfills his request. The baddie flies backward onto a roulette wheel which takes his fez off and spins it around the table. Bond then interrogates a woman sunbathing. Bond choking a woman with her own bikini saying, "speak up, darling. I can't hear you" as she gasps for breath is twisted, violent, and 100% James Bond.
This beginning is ALIVE! It MOVES! It has energy, determination, and INTENT. Then it's all over. One minute and thirty-four seconds into a 125-minute movie and we've already reached the peak of what this film is capable of.
From there on, clumsy wide shots are the name of the game. Connery has a "are we done?" look and I wouldn't be surprised if you told me they had ten minutes to capture every shot. The only scenes that sparkle are the scenes without him, save one fight scene in an elevator about halfway through the film.
The producers have failed to recognize a truism of the Bond series which will continue to dog it for decades to come; as much as Bond is known for its extravagant set pieces, it's most tense fights tend to be it's most intimate.
Diamonds Are Forever may be a flop, but to its credit, the film provides two game actresses, both of whom are ready to play.
The first woman introduced is Plenty O'Toole, played by Lana Wood whose name already sounds like a Bond Girl. Wood was cast after appearing in Playboy. Unfortunately, and probably because of her modeling background, she is subjected to the most lecherous writing the series has yet seen. She is man-handled wearing only panties, and the camera lingers on her drowned corpse and seethrough top.
Despite this, Wood is engaging and her performance shows that she's more than just a body. She's engaged with the material, which is more than you can say for most of the cast.
Plenty is a thankless character, a sacrificial lamb. Only unlike other women who are fridged to motivate men, here her death serves the purpose to motivate the real Bond Girl of the movie, Tiffany Case.
Tiffany Case is an oasis in the Diamonds Are Forever desert. Apart from having a great name, she has a unique energy that the series has yet to see or since duplicate. She has an American arrogance which allows her to tell Bond to shove it and tell a little boy "go blow up your pants!" Jill St. John (the first actor in this series whose real name is more fun to say than that of her character) is a true scene-stealer. She has real Reba Mcintyre energy and I would argue she is one of the only actors in the movie who knows the tone of the movie she's in.
She is appropriately fiery and out of her depths and silly when the scenes call for it. Tiffany Case may be afraid but Jill St. John is not.
In recent years, there has been a tendency for Bond Girls to look back on their roles with a twinge of embarrassment. Not so for Jill St. John. She gets that these movies are all meant to be in good fun, and whether or not you agree with her philosophy, it is hard to deny that she is having fun with the part.
The Baddies
The only other shining light in the film belongs to Mr. Wint & Mr. Kidd, the lover/assassins. As Bond receives his assignment from M, we intercut with footage of the diamond smuggling operation, as everyone who handles the diamonds is systematically and brutally murdered by a pair of creepy killers. Individually, they are unsettling, especially Mr. Kidd and his absurd hair, but put them together, and you have yourself a winning formula. These two are unnerving on-sight without seeming threatening which allows them to get the drop on their prey.
Mr. Wint & Mr. Kidd are also the first characters in the series to be coded gay. You might think this would be the kind of thing to date the movie poorly. On the contrary, their relationship is handled with tact. The movie never implies that these killers are bad because they are gay, merely that they are gay and bad.
However, they are not the only double team in the movie. There is also the inexplicably named Bambi & Thumper, a pair of bikini-clad gymnastic bodyguards. Among the James Bond superfans, these ladies have a favorable reputation, but I can only assume it is because the image of half-naked women doing backflips in a Bond film is titillating. Their scene is poorly edited with no score to speak of, and the way they are dispatched leaves much to be desired. Their fight combined with Connery and that stupid pink tie represent Diamonds at peak dad-fantasy.
But Mr. Wint & Mr. Kidd and Bambi & Thumper are small potatoes compared to the main baddie. Unfortunately, he gets his own chapter.
Blofeld? More like BLOW-feld!
While Connery may have returned to the franchise, Donald Pleasance did not. Instead, we have Charles Gray, our third Blofeld in the franchise. To put it plainly, Gray is the campy Blofeld. He's simultaneously classy and flamboyant. He demands dignity and respect but is not above dawning drag to escape in a crowded casino. He is the Frasier of Blofelds. What is particularly interesting is that Gray was already a Bond alumnus having played Dikko Henderson in You Only Live Twice.
Blofeld is often credited as Bond's nemesis; the Joker to his Batman, the Moriarty to his Sherlock. The only reason this is the case is that he has shown up over several films. There are many Bond Baddies with more iconic looks, schemes, and henchmen, but somehow Blofeld is the top of the villain heap. Heck, Blofeld isn't the person to kill Tracy in the last film, Irma Bunt was!
Gray is a suitable Blofeld. His cocked eyebrow and near-constant sneer are fun, but there's no denying that he is a disappointment considering this is Blofeld's final official appearance until Spectre in 2015. For Connery's final outing as 007, the audience thirsts for the last great adventure. They want Bond to go off against his greatest foe yet! Instead, we get a feckless thug who gets jerked around in a little submarine.
Final Thoughts on Diamonds Are Forever
Connery's last official adventure as James Bond is a real bummer, but it did teach us one thing, we can't be too precious about our James Bonds. Not a single actor has gotten to ride off into the sunset on a high note knowing they would never play the role again.
Every single actor has been cut off after a disastrous final outing (Connery, Moore, and Brosnan), or had their future films swept out from under them (Lazenby and Dalton). Daniel Craig is unique in that he knew going into No Time To Die that it was going to be his final farewell. Whether or not its any good has yet to be seen.
Diamonds Are Forever was a box office smash but it was still only the third highest-grossing film of 1971. Audience reactions were decidedly mixed. America was still at war with Vietnam and darker, grittier films with cynical anti-heroes like The French Connection, Chinatown, and Death Wish were about to rise to prominence. You'd think a brooding misogynist like James Bond would thrive in that environment, which makes Eon Productions' decision to go silly all the more baffling.
Connery's final performance closes the book on this incarnation of James Bond, and a legal dispute between Broccoli & Saltzman and Kevin McClory prevented future Bond films from using Blofeld or SPECTRE for decades. Diamonds Are Forever effectively ended the Connery era for good. But when God closes a door, he opens a window.
The producers set about finding a new Bond, and this time, the new guy would stick.

Q: Migrating current website to dotnetnuke Is it tedious to migrate an existing website to DNN? Will starting from scratch be a better idea?

A: I migrated a 150 page website last year and it was not tedious.
We sat down with DNN, planed out the structure we wanted and build the menu's - 1 hour
Then we opened Notepad, and spent three days copying and pasting.  Copy from Live Site, paste to notepad, and CTRL +A and CTRL + C, flick over to DNN and paste again.  Any complex or arkward pages my colleague left for later.  After three days we had migrated the entire site.  No tools, no fancy import and export.
All done in a couple of days.  And of course by the end of it, my colleague was up to speed on DNN also.
It is a low tech, highly successful and easy approach.
I would consider import routines for highly structured data, but otherwise, I recommend this approach.

A: You'll essentially need to recreate the site, and yes it will be tedious.  Once you have some of the structure in place, you'd need to recreate the pages, assuming they are simple content pages.
However, if you have a typical data-driven .NET application with a lot of server-side code and data access, you'll have to redesign a lot of it to fit into DNN.
Regardless, if you want to maintain your existing user list, you'll probably have to write a new DNN membership provider to interact with that list.  If you were using the default ASP.NET membership tables already, this should essentially be done for you, because that is what DNN uses internally by default to, although it does wrap it with it's own membership provider interace, because their users have to pretend be to portal-specific (even though they really are not).
Hopefully a lot of your code is in user controls and classes.  If so, you can probably wrap them in DNN containers.  It will be tedious and require a lot of bug fixes, but it's doable.
If your code is instead a bunch of spagetti spread out across a bunch of pages, you'll probably have to make a lot of changes to get them into DNN containers.
You'll have to decide what to do with your existing database.  Will you merge it into the DNN database, or will you keep it seperate.  The seperate idea is nice because it keeps the DNN presentation junk away from your core functionality, but bear in mind that your users/roles/permissions will also be in the DNN database, so you may lose that link to your legacy data.
Which leads to roles and permissions.  DNN uses the standard ASP.NET role provider interface, but it's not really that simple.  Even if you provide your own role provider to integrate with your own roles, you'll still need to persist the roles and user/role assignments to the DNN tables because it's not perfectly abstracted.
... and there are I'm sure a bunch of other things specific to your situation that I can't think of.
Anyhow, you'll probably end up somewhere in the middle.  You won't find some magic migration utility that will port your stuff right over, but you probably won't have to re-write every line of code either.  Depending on the size and complexity of your site, you'll probably need to do a lot of analysis, using some people with DNN expertise, to figure out a solid plan.
