neg: Indian Defence Review Indian Defence Review ( IDR ) , the brainchild of former captain of the Indian Army , was launched on January 1 , 1986 as a logical continuum to Lancer established in 1979 , the first Indian publishing house dedicated to put forward the military experience and point of view .   Under the professional stewardship of its first two editors , Lt Gen Mathew Thomas ( 1986 ) and Maj Gen Afsir Karim ( 1993 ) , both distinguished paratroopers , IDR began public engagement and national debate on military and security issues , which received immediate attention of the defence establishment , policy makers and national leadership in India .   Continuing in this strong tradition and creating a niche , IDR publisher and its third editor , Capt Bharat Verma ( 1998 ) , succeeded in placing the national security challenges `` front and centre '' of the public debate . The reigns of this reputed Journal have passed into the hands of Lt Gen JS Bajwa ( Retired ) consequent to the sad and untimely demise of Capt Bharat Verma in July 2014 .   With the launch of web version of the Journal , www.indiandefencereview.com in 2006 , IDR became India 's preeminent public publication on foreign policy and national security issues .   The result of the spade work done by these three military officers in the private sector , for the first time brought the concerns of national security issues through a private forum in independent India to the national centre-stage .   IDR remains a highly reliable , unbiased and unique source for government and defence officials , strategic planners , analysts , journalists and the general public on contemporary geo-political and geo-strategic issues presented by cerebral professionals .   In addition , IDR extensively covers foreign policy , aerospace trends , naval affairs , army force development , and internal security and the defence industry . The Journal is a trusted , independent and comprehensive source of critical information and insight that is necessary for public debate and civil discourse on matters related to India 's sovereignty , national integrity , security and defence . When important national security and defence issues arise , IDR is not only part of the conversation but also shapes the national debate .   IDR brings together leading experts ( military , government and academia ) who provide the highest quality of well considered , timely and authoritative expert analysis of current national and international events , emerging trends relating to security and defence , historical analysis and strategic forecasting and offer realistic , practical and pragmatic solutions and policy options that help address security and defence challenges impacting India .   IDR writers have made deep inroads into national security and defence debate once considered to be the preserve of the establishment in New Delhi , which in the past only relied and depended on analysis imported from foreign publications .   IDR , the country 's premium and most prestigious journal , won accolades including `` India 's best known military publication '' and `` the most impressive , useful and independent publication '' and remains the `` most quoted '' . Considered a ` policy making journal , ' IDR is recommended reading by the Army , Navy , and the Air Force headquarters for officers .   Today , IDR is acknowledged as one of the top journals in the defence sector , is available in `` print '' as well as `` on-line '' and interacts with the social media .

neg: Leith Library Leith Library is one of Edinburgh 's 28 freely-accessible libraries . It is located in Leith , in the northern part of the city , at the foot of Ferry Road shortly before it meets Great Junction Street and North Great Junction Street .   The stone marking the first phase of construction was laid by the then Lord Provost , Alexander Stevenson in 1929 . It was finally completed in 1961 and is a category B listed building .   The library is currently open six days a week and , in addition to the collection of books , offers visitors computer access , a for-hire community room , public exhibition space , a knitting group and a weekly children 's crafts class/workshop .   Local-area MSP Malcolm Chisholm also host surgeries within the library , and the local registrar 's office adjoins the main library building . To the building 's rear is the Leith Theatre .   As with all of the City 's libraries , Leith public library uses the Library of Congress Classification system for its adult collection . As of 1974 , Edinburgh is the only area in the UK where public libraries utilise the US classification scheme . Children 's books , and some non-English works , are indexed using the Dewey Decimal Classification scheme .

neg: Digital Collections Selection Criteria Digital Collections Selection Criteria are applied by organisations ( typically libraries ) creating a digital library which of their existing holdings and forthcoming acquisitions to digitize for inclusion .   A strategy with defined selection priorities for digitization is critical , and should consider both preservation and access . factors to consider are :  the value of materials ;  the condition of materials ;  use of materials ; and  material characteristics ensuring a high level of success .   For the Library of Congress , items of national interest were prime candidates both to improve access and reduce wear and tear on the physical copies .   In the early discussions about digitization of library materials the selection decisions were often proposed based on a desire for better access to that item 's content , and not on the condition or value of the original item . In 2001 , Paula De Stefano wrote that a use-based group of criteria was promising , as it is `` fundamental to collection development and is the common thread in all selection decisions '' . In practice , however , her study showed that most digital projects focused on special collections , which are generally not the most popular items in the overall collection .   The persistent risk of disappearing `` last copies '' . and the declines seen in the condition of national treasures , as exemplified by the 2005 Heritage Health Index Report on the State of America 's Collections provide the rationale for establishing priorities and balancing access with preservation needs . The transient nature of electronic information can contribute to a phenomenon called `` memory loss . '' This is a result of data extinctions as technologies become obsolete . There is also a drift away from original bibliographic contexts as time passes .   A 1998 Council on Library and Information Sources white paper identified the following comprehensive considerations for selection :  assessment of the intellectual and physical nature of the source materials ;  the number and location of current and potential users ;  the current and potential nature of use ;  the format and nature of the proposed digital product and how it will be described , delivered , and archived ;  how the proposed product relates to other digitization efforts ; and  projections of costs in relation to benefits .

neg: Online book rental in India Online book rental refers to a service wherein users rent books via the internet . Users browse books online and have their choices home-delivered , rather than physically visiting a library to borrow a book . This e-commerce model is very similar to the popular video rental service provided by the California-based Netflix . Online book rental is gaining popularity in India , with a number of websites offering free doorstep delivery for a small monthly fee . The popularity of such websites can be attributed to increasing internet usage in the country ; India is expected to have the third-largest number of internet users in the world by 2013 . Statistics for the publishing industry are also promising . India is the world 's third-largest market for English books , and its entire book market -- in English , as well as regional languages -- is estimated to generate Rs . 10,000 crore annually . The online book market in India is expected to grow at 30 -- 35 % annually for the next five years .

neg: Turin National University Library The National University Library ( Biblioteca nazionale universitaria in Italian ) in Turin , Italy , is one of the country 's main libraries .

neg: Brinkler classification Brinkler Classification is the library classification system of Bartol Brinkler described in his article `` The Geographical Approach to Materials in the Library of Congress Subject Headings '' . The geographical aspect of a subject may be conveyed through three types of headings labeled A , B , and C. Heading A uses a primary topical description with geographical subdivisions ( e.g. Art -- Paris ) . Type B uses a place-name for the main heading with a topical subdivision ( e.g. Paris -- Description ) . C headings use a geographical description of a phrase ( e.g. Paris Literature ) .   Brinkler explores what type of heading is more useful to a patron , and he finds that it depends on the level of familiarity a patron has with a topic and what approach they take when searching for resources on their topic . Ideally readers will either be looking for everything on a particular topic , or everything regarding a particular place . Bartol Brinkler investigates a system of classification that will best serve these two ideal types of patrons . He finds working with Type A headings will best assist a patron who is more topic oriented , while using Type B headings is preferable for those who are primarily interested in one place .   However this is problematic in practice . One possibility is to assign Type A and Type B headings to every resource , but the cataloguing cost would be high . A system that aids readers regardless of their approach to a topic involves using cross-references ( e.g. Canada -- Botany , See Botany -- Canada ) . Admitting that see and see also references would require more work on the part of librarians , Bartol Brinkler notes that librarians must keep in mind '' ... readers do not have the same knowledge -LSB- of classification -RSB- and do need all the help they can get ... ''

neg: Metrication in India Metrication or metrification is the process of converting to the metric system based on the International System of Units ( SI ) . India 's conversion to the metric system occurred in stages between 1955 and 1962 . The metric system in weights and measures was adopted by the Indian Parliament in December 1956 with the Standards of Weights and Measures Act , which took effect beginning 1 October 1958 . The Indian Coinage Act was passed in 1955 by the Government of India to introduce decimal coinage in the country . The new system of coins became legal tender on April 1957 , where the rupee consists of 100 paise . For the next five years , both the old and new systems were legal . In April 1962 , all other systems were banned . This process of metrication is called `` big-bang '' route , which is to simultaneously outlaw the use of pre-metric measurement , metricise , reissue all government publications and laws , and change education systems to metric .   India 's conversion was quicker than that of many other countries , including its coloniser , the United Kingdom . This was helped by low popular literacy and the fact that there was previously no nationwide standard measurement system -- British Imperial units were used by the upper class , while various regional systems were used by the poor . The Indian model was extremely successful and served later as a model for metrication in various African and Asian countries .   The National Physical Laboratory of India , located in New Delhi , is designated the maintainer of SI units in India . It also calibrates the national standards of weights and measures .

neg: PUBLIB PUBLIB is an electronic discussion list devoted to issues relating to public-library administration and use .

neg: Do Not Adjust Your Set Do Not Adjust Your Set ( DNAYS ) is a television series produced originally by Rediffusion , London , then , by the fledgling Thames Television for British commercial television channel ITV from 26 December 1967 to 14 May 1969 . The show took its name from the message ( frequently seen on the TV screen in those days ) which was displayed when there was a problem with transmission .   It included early appearances of Denise Coffey , David Jason , Eric Idle , Terry Jones , and Michael Palin ; the last three became members of the Monty Python comedy troupe soon afterwards . Although originally conceived as a children 's programme , it quickly acquired a following amongst many adults , including future Pythons John Cleese and Graham Chapman ( as mentioned by Cleese himself in the `` Paying my ex-wife '' stage performance tour , October 2010 ) .   The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band performed a song in each programme and Bob Kerr 's Whoopee Band also appeared . The musicians frequently appeared as extras in sketches . The programme comprised a series of sketches , often bizarre and surreal , frequently satirical with a disjointed style which anticipate Monty Python 's Flying Circus , which followed five months after the last episode of DNAYS . Strange animations between sketches were crafted in the final episodes by the then-unknown Terry Gilliam , who also graduated to Python -- part of his `` Christmas cards '' animation reappeared there in the `` Joy to the World '' segment .   One long-running feature of the show was Captain Fantastic , featuring a parody superhero ( Jason ) in improbable , even macabre adventures against villainess Mrs. Black ( Coffey ) . These segments were shot entirely on film , on location in London . In 1968 , it won an international award , the Prix Jeunesse , in Munich .

neg: Novel in Scotland The novel in Scotland includes all long prose fiction published in Scotland and by Scottish authors since the development of the literary format in the eighteenth century . The novel was soon a major element of Scottish literary and critical life . Tobias Smollett 's picaresque novels , such as The Adventures of Roderick Random and The Adventures of Peregrine Pickle mean that he is often seen as Scotland 's first novelist . Other Scots who contributed to the development of the novel in the eighteenth century include Henry Mackenzie and John Moore .   There was a tradition of moral and domestic fiction in the early nineteenth century that included the work of Elizabeth Hamilton , Mary Brunton and Christian Johnstone . The outstanding literary figure of the early nineteenth century was Walter Scott , whose Waverley is often called the first historical novel . He had a major worldwide influence . His success led to a publishing boom in Scotland . Major figures that benefited included James Hogg , John Galt , John Gibson Lockhart , John Wilson and Susan Ferrier . In the mid-nineteenth century major literary figures that contributed to the development of the novel included David Macbeth Moir , John Stuart Blackie , William Edmondstoune Aytoun and Margaret Oliphant . In the late nineteenth century , a number of Scottish-born authors achieved international reputations , including Robert Louis Stevenson and Arthur Conan Doyle , whose Sherlock Holmes stories helped found the tradition of detective fiction . In the last two decades of the century the `` kailyard school '' ( cabbage patch ) depicted Scotland in a rural and nostalgic fashion , often seen as a `` failure of nerve '' in dealing with the rapid changes that had swept across Scotland in the industrial revolution . Figures associated with the movement include Ian Maclaren , S. R. Crockett and J. M. Barrie , best known for his creation of Peter Pan , which helped develop the genre of fantasy , as did the work of George MacDonald .   Among the most important novels of the early twentieth century was The House with the Green Shutters by George Douglas Brown , which broke with the Kailyard tradition . John Buchan played a major role in the creation of the modern thriller with The Thirty-Nine Steps and Greenmantle . The Scottish literary Renaissance attempted to introduce modernism into art and create of a distinctive national literature . It increasingly focused on the novel . Major figures included Neil Gunn , George Blake , A. J. Cronin , Eric Linklater and Lewis Grassic Gibbon . There were also a large number of female authors associated with the movement , who included Catherine Carswell , Willa Muir , Nan Shepherd and Naomi Mitchison . Many major Scottish post-war novelists , such as Robin Jenkins , Jessie Kesson , Muriel Spark , Alexander Trocchi and James Kennaway spent most of their lives outside Scotland , but often dealt with Scottish themes . Successful mass-market works included the action novels of Alistair MacLean and the historical fiction of Dorothy Dunnett . A younger generation of novelists that emerged in the 1960s and 1970s included Allan Massie , Shena Mackay and Alan Spence . Working class identity continued to be explored by Archie Hind , Alan Sharp , George Friel and William McIlvanney .   From the 1980s Scottish literature enjoyed another major revival , with figures including Alasdair Gray , James Kelman , Irvine Welsh , Alan Warner , Janice Galloway , A. L. Kennedy , Iain Banks , Candia McWilliam , Frank Kuppner and Andrew O'Hagan . In genre fiction Iain Banks , writing as Iain M. Banks , produced ground-breaking science fiction and Scottish crime fiction has been a major area of growth with the success of novelists including Frederic Lindsay , Quintin Jardine , Val McDermid , Denise Mina , Christopher Brookmyre , and particularly Ian Rankin and his Inspector Rebus novels . The most successful author of Scottish origins in recent years has been J. K. Rowling , author of the Harry Potter series .

neg: Jim Gerald James Gerald ( 1 January 1891 -- 1971 ) was an Australia comedian , circus clown , acrobat , writer , director and troupe leader and filmmaker . He is generally regarded as one of the four leading post-World War I comedians to work the Australasian variety circuits , the others being Nat Phillips , Roy Rene , and George Wallace .   Born at Darlington , Sydney , Gerald was the seventh son of Stephen Australia Fitzgerald , a tailor turned actor , and his wife Mary Ann , née Ingram . In his youth Jim played truant from school to watch acrobats practising on the sandhills behind Centennial Park , learned to tumble and haunted his uncles ' circus . Three of his brothers also went on the stage using the names ` Max Clifton ' , ` Lance Vane ' and ` Cliff Stevens ' . In 1898 his father apprenticed him to Oscar Pagel 's Circus . He subsequently travelled the world , including South Africa , Africa , the Far East and North America for around ten years .   Back in Australia by 1908 , Gerald found employment with several circuses ; and as ` Diabolo ' was billed as the first man to loop the loop on a motorcycle . In 1910 he and two of his brothers , Lance Vane and Max Clifton , appeared in The Life and Adventures of John Vane , the Notorious Australian Bushranger . That film , also directed by his father , is now viewed as a significant landmark in Australian cinema history , being the first recorded involvement in narrative film production by Charles Cozens Spencer ( a leading figure in the early Australian film industry ) .   Gerald 's `` move into variety entertainment began in 1912 when he toured with his father 's All Stars drama and vaudeville company as both comedian and acrobat . Although he soon afterwards signed with the Fullers ' Theatres vaudeville circuit Gerald was immediately leased to Stanley McKay for his touring pantomime company , and over the next five to six years appeared throughout Australia and New Zealand as a specialist pantomime dame Within a year of joining McKay 's company Gerald married Esther Patience Futcher , a 27-year-old actress known as ` Essie Jennings ' . The ceremony took place on 21 July 1913 at St Peter 's Anglican Church , Wellington , New Zealand , \ . The two latter formed a highly popular knockabout comedy sketch act , appearing in sketches such as the `` The Actress and the Paperhanger '' and `` The new Recruit . ''   Fitzgerald enlisted in the Australian Imperial Force on 5 May 1916 and served in Mesopotamia as a driver with the 1st Australian and New Zealand Wireless Signal Squadron . Discharged on 12 October 1918 , he returned to the Fullers ' circuit and was soon asked by ( Sir ) Benjamin Fuller to write and produce his own revue sketches . He had seen the funny side of soldiering in Mesopotamia and his act , ` The New Recruit ' , remained popular for years . Unlike his contemporaries Roy Rene and George Wallace , Gerald was ` unashamedly international ' in his work . Almost every Christmas he played the dame in pantomimes . He made some thirty silent films in the United States of America in 1928 , and was influenced by Charlie Chaplin whom he greatly admired .   When the Fullers folded in 1933 , Gerald continued to play six-month seasons in Sydney and Melbourne under various managements . In 1935-36 he appeared in several revues at the Garrick Theatre , London , including Do n't Spare the Horses . Returning to Sydney , in May 1936 he featured in Shout for Joy . One critic wrote that he ` can not particularly sing nor does he know much about dancing , but he is undoubtedly a master of patter , of quick , well-timed delivery and retort ' . Gerald signed a contract with the Australian Broadcasting Commission in February 1939 ; he starred in ` Jim and Jitters ' with Jim Davidson 's A.B.C. Dance Band and conducted the Saturday ` After-Dinner Show ' . Next year he formed his own radio-production company .   On 10 April 1941 Gerald was appointed honorary lieutenant colonel in the A.I.F. Placed in charge of the Entertainment Unit , he embarked for the Middle East on 1 September in the Queen Elizabeth . A shrewd organizer and an experienced producer , he gathered Davidson and his band , comedians , singers , jugglers , acrobats and trick cyclists , as well as backstage technicians , ` among them costume designers , seamstresses and electricians ' . At his headquarters at Tel Aviv , Palestine , he recruited a female chorus line . The first performance at Gaza of All in Fun was ` received with rapturous applause ' .   Home again in October 1942 , Gerald transferred to the retired list on 31 December . He joined the Tivoli circuit and appeared in the revue , Stripped for Action ( 1943 ) . In 1951 he played the happy roué in Ladies ' Night in a Turkish Bath . He shared top billing with Wallace in Thanks for the Memory , at the Princess Theatre , Melbourne , in 1953 and toured for three years in that revue . He was ` as uproariously funny as ever though not as spry ' in The Good Old Days ( Sydney , 1957 ) . Next year he retired to St Kilda , Melbourne . Gerald enjoyed watching any kind of sport , but his passion was for motoring : he owned a succession of cars which he drove across America , through Europe , the Middle East and Britain , and all over Australia . After Essie 's death in 1969 , he moved into a home at Rosebud . He died there on 2 March 1971 and was cremated . ` Jim Gerald was probably best remembered for his versatility -- as a big-eared oaf in baggy pants and shapeless hat , as a seemingly rubber-boned and pathetically droll clown and as Australia 's greatest pantomime dame .

neg: Genesis Theatre Genesis Theatre were an amateur theatre group that existed from 1975 to 1982 in the Greater Manchester area . The name was taken from the book of Genesis , because when they started out they were literally at their beginning .   The group were known for attempting large productions more commonly associated with professional theatre groups ( such as the Who 's Tommy and an aborted first attempt at Jeff Wayne 's the War of the Worlds ) as well as several original musicals . They had several premieres amongst their productions , some being Amateur World Premieres , others simply Amateur North West Premieres .   The two key members were Chris Fogg ( Writer and Director ) and Chris Dumigan ( Musical Director ) . However the most well known former members are Mike Shaft ( who has his own radio station Radio Sunset ) and Louis Emerick ( who appeared in the Channel 4 soap opera Brookside BBC 's Casualty and many programmes besides ) .   The most critically well received show was the Who 's Tommy , which was the first North West stage presentation of the concept album and was approved by Pete Townshend . At the same time Townshend had given his sanction for a Southern Amateur company to present Tommy ; they beat Genesis Theatre to the stage by a matter of a few weeks . It was their production that Townshend saw and eventually took to the professional stage .   There was an aborted attempt to put on the first theatre performance of Jeff Wayne 's the War of the Worlds at the Royal Exchange Theatre in Manchester . This needed a reasonable budget and a sponsor was found in Renault . However two weeks before the initial performance Renault were taken over by a new company , who - refusing to pay towards any sponsorship - withdrew their funding , and the show was cancelled . Interestingly it was never put onto the live stage until 2005 , when Jeff Wayne finally toured with his own version of the complete musical .   Unsurprisingly the original musicals Stag and Marilyn are the ones discussed most often by former members .   Stag is a complex story about the half-man half-beast god Herne the Hunter seducing a woman .  Marilyn tells the story of an actress who plays the part of Marilyn Monroe and finds her life tragically mirroring her predecessor .   In 1979 Mike Mansfield , who was well known at the time for TV programmes such as Supersonic , expressed an interest in the group . He provided the funding for the group to go into the studio and record Stag , this caught the attention of Robert Stigwood who was the then manager of the Bee Gees , who had recently peaked with their Saturday Night Fever album . There were reports that Chris Fogg and Chris Dumigan were about to be signed , but when the Bee Gees sued their manager , this stopped dead any hopes of Stigwood having the necessary cash to fund Stag , so the idea was permanently shelved .   Genesis Theatre effectively ended in 1982 when Chris Fogg moved from Greater Manchester to Somerset . It was generally felt that the group were no longer moving forward and had either missed their lucky break or it was never going to arrive after 7 years . Several principal members have since died , including Graham Brittain ( Chairman ) , Nicky Baird ( Principal Cast Member ) and Mike Bonwick ( Bass player ) .   Chris Dumigan still lives in the Greater Manchester area as do several other former members and there are regular reunions .   In 2003 , Chris Dumigan wrote his memoirs of Genesis Theatre and can be found along with similar biographies by Chris Fogg , Guy Taylor , Alison Davis , Anita King and Alan Ratcliff on the website at www.genesistheatre.co.uk , along with hundreds of photographs of all the shows they did . There has also been some restoration work performed on the studio recordings of Stag and a live recording of Marilyn . Moreover , as most of the shows were recorded at least once during the live performances to stereo cassette , these have all now been transferred to a program that cleans up recordings , during which the recordings were de - hissed and maximised in a number of ways to make the end result as dynamic as possible.Then they have been transferred to CDs . Everyone of the shows listed above that were actually staged ( except ` Shakespeare 's Greatest Hit ' , and '' And Afterwards at ... ' ) have at least one full live recording in the archives , and in the case of ` You 're A Good Man Charlie Brown , the Royal Exchange performance exists on DVD .

neg: Son of Man (play) Son of Man is a television play by British playwright Dennis Potter which was first broadcast on BBC1 on 16 April 1969 , in The Wednesday Play slot . An alternative depiction of the last days of Jesus , Son of Man was directed by Gareth Davies and starred Irish actor Colin Blakely .   The treatment of the subject matter led to Potter being accused of blasphemy by Christian morality campaigner Mary Whitehouse . Jesus was depicted as being tormented by self-doubt , repeatedly crying out `` Is it me ? '' as he struggles with his own nature as God incarnate whilst being vulnerable to human frailty . Potter 's work focuses on Jesus 's message of universal love , but eschews any mention of miracles or the resurrection . The character of Judas Iscariot is identified with the rich young man of the synoptic gospels . The play was shot on videotape over three days on a very limited budget : Potter was later to say that the set `` looks as though it 's trembling and about to fall down . ''   It was also adapted for the stage and played at the Roundhouse , London , with Frank Finlay in the leading role . The stage version of Son of Man was first produced on 22 October 1969 , at the Phoenix Theatre , Leicester .

neg: Skyfall Skyfall is the 23rd James Bond film produced by Eon Productions and released in 2012 . It features Daniel Craig in his third performance as James Bond , and Javier Bardem as Raoul Silva , the film 's villain . It was directed by Sam Mendes and written by Neal Purvis , Robert Wade and John Logan , and features an Academy Award-winning theme , sung by Adele . It was distributed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer ( MGM ) and Columbia Pictures .   The story centres on Bond investigating an attack on MI6 ; the attack is part of a plot by former MI6 agent Raoul Silva to humiliate , discredit and kill M as revenge against her for betraying him . The film sees the return of two recurring characters to the series after an absence of two films : Q , played by Ben Whishaw , and Moneypenny , played by Naomie Harris . Skyfall is the last film of the series for Judi Dench , who played M , a role that she had played in the previous six films . The position is subsequently filled by Ralph Fiennes ' character , Gareth Mallory , though Dench would make a brief appearance in the next Bond film , Spectre .   Mendes was approached to direct the film after the release of Quantum of Solace in 2008 . Development was suspended when MGM encountered financial troubles and did not resume until December 2010 ; during this time , Mendes remained attached to the project as a consultant . The original screenwriter , Peter Morgan , left the project during the suspension . When production resumed , Logan , Purvis , and Wade continued writing what became the final version of the script . Filming began in November 2011 and primarily took place in the United Kingdom , with smaller portions shot in China and Turkey .   Skyfall premiered in London at the Royal Albert Hall on 23 October 2012 and was released in the United Kingdom on 26 October 2012 and the United States on 9 November 2012 . It was the first James Bond film to be screened in IMAX venues , although it was not filmed with IMAX cameras . The film 's release coincided with the 50th anniversary of the series , which began with Dr. No in 1962 .
