The Comeback of Common Sense in Car Design: 11 Features Drivers Are Getting Back By titan007

-

 For more than a decade, the car industry chased an idea of “modern”: fewer physical controls, more screens, more software layers between driver and machine. The promise was elegant simplicity—one panel of glass that could do everything, updated like a smartphone. The reality in many vehicles has been more complicated. Basic actions moved into menus, learning curves steepened, and drivers found themselves looking away from the road to do things that used to be effortless. Now the pendulum is swinging back. Not because manufacturers suddenly became nostalgic, but because safety testing, customer frustration, and real-world usability are exerting pressure. When drivers complain that a touchscreen is distracting or that a repair requires needless complexity, they are often describing a measurable problem: extra seconds with eyes off the road, extra steps for simple tasks, and higher costs to keep an older vehicle running. This article examines eleven practical features that many drive...

Ser Jorah and the Stage‑Born Actor

-

 Iain Glen is a classically trained Scottish actor best known as Ser Jorah Mormont on Game of Thrones and for roles in the Resident Evil films; born 24 June 1961 in Edinburgh and trained at RADA, his career spans stage, film, and television from the mid‑1980s to today.


A stage‑bred actor with screen gravitas

Born Iain Alan Sutherland Glen on 24 June 1961 in Edinburgh, Glen built his foundation in theatre before becoming a familiar face on screen; he studied at the University of Aberdeen and trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA), where he won early recognition and awards that signalled a serious theatrical talent.

Breakthroughs and early acclaim

Glen’s early film work earned critical notice: his performance in Silent Scream (1990) brought him the Silver Bear for Best Actor at the Berlin International Film Festival, an accolade that helped establish him as a performer capable of intense, layered roles on film as well as stage.

The role that made him a household name

For many viewers worldwide, Glen became synonymous with Ser Jorah Mormont, the conflicted, loyal knight in HBO’s Game of Thrones (2011–2019). His portrayal—equal parts devotion, regret, and moral complexity—turned Jorah into one of the series’ most memorable supporting figures and introduced Glen to a global audience while showcasing the emotional depth he honed in theatre work.

Franchise work and leading TV roles

Beyond Westeros, Glen has taken on a variety of screen projects: he played Dr Alexander Isaacs/Tyrant across multiple entries in the Resident Evil film series and carried the title role in the Irish crime drama Jack Taylor, demonstrating his ability to lead both genre franchises and gritty, character‑driven television.

What makes Glen a director’s choice

Directors repeatedly cast Glen for roles that require theatrical discipline, quiet intensity, and moral ambiguity. His stage background gives him a command of language and presence that translates into characters who feel lived‑in—men who are honourable, haunted, or quietly dangerous rather than simply archetypal. That blend of training and screen experience explains his steady work across decades and genres.

Unfaithful 2002

My dear, the pace of the film is perfect. We found out about Connie and Edward's life before meeting Paul. The two have a beloved son, Charlie, who adds a lot of humor to the film, but in the wrong way. After the case begins, we see that Connie's feelings go from excitement to complete disgust. And of course Edward inevitably discovers. His reaction is the least interesting and perhaps very sincere. The acting is great, especially Diane Lane. The sex scenes are quite awake and I found myself uncomfortable at specific times, but it's interesting to see how different sex was with the therapist and sex with my wife. And in that sense, the "unbeliever" is wonderful! Watch the world slowly turn its head down and split into pieces around these two people based ONLY ONLY (the first scene in front of his apartment: Should he come in? Should he come? One? choice, a moment in time. a world of difference). Based on the choices, the drama begins to build, until at the ...

Where Are the Most Beautiful Women in the World? (A Thoughtful Take) by Titan007

 Beauty is a conversation that never ends. With 195 countries on the planet and billions of unique faces, bodies, styles, and personalities, the idea of “the most beautiful women” is naturally subjective. What one person finds stunning, another might simply find interesting; what one era celebrates, another era challenges. Still, curiosity persists. We notice patterns—cultural aesthetics, skincare traditions, fitness habits, fashion sensibilities, and the way confidence radiates differently around the globe. So let’s explore the spirit of the original question with care and respect. Instead of declaring a definitive ranking (which would miss the point), we’ll look at ten countries often celebrated for women whose style, presence, and charisma frequently capture the world’s attention. Think of this as a guided tour through beauty cultures—how women present themselves, what local traditions emphasize, and the traits many admire. And remember: beauty can’t be boxed in. It is as much a...

Christmas Trees: How a Winter Evergreen Became the World’s Favorite Holiday Icon Written by Titan007

 Walk into almost any city in December, and you’ll spot it instantly: an evergreen dressed in lights, ornaments, and nostalgia—standing in living rooms, town squares, shopping centers, and cathedral plazas. The Christmas tree feels timeless, like it’s always been part of the season… but the tradition had to grow into what it is today. So where did it actually start—and how did it go global? The modern Christmas tree didn’t begin “everywhere.” The version we recognize today took shape in Central Europe and the Baltic region , especially areas tied historically to Germany and Livonia (modern Latvia/Estonia).  From there, it spread through faith, fashion, migration, and media—slowly transforming from a regional custom into a worldwide symbol. Before the baubles: the “Paradise tree” storyline One of the strongest “predecessor” traditions points to medieval religious plays—especially those performed on December 24 , associated in many places with the commemoration of Adam and Eve...
