To that end, not only is Honda Sensing (adaptive cruise control with low-speed follow, collision-mitigation braking with pedestrian detection, traffic-sign recognition, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist, and road-departure mitigation) standard, but so is a rear-seat reminder. Safety matters in just about every segment, but it’s often top of mind for parents, and minivans are obviously thought of as family vehicles. This is the minivan for the Accord owner who reluctantly went in search of more space/utility. It offers adequate thrust for urban driving, and the ride is acceptably compliant, though it may be too firm for some tastes. It’s better than the unremarkable competency of the Chrysler. I’d probably stop short of saying it’s fun to drive, but it’s as entertaining to wheel as minivan can be. Let’s be clear upfront: No minivan will truly be on par with, say, a sports sedan, but the Odyssey is as engaging as these people-movers come. Given how the market has gone bananas between the time of my loan and the time I write this, that $47k almost sounds reasonable. Eye-watering pricing, perhaps, but then again the average transaction price is now over $41K. ![]() Pricing starts at $31,790 for the LX, while an Elite like my tester starts at $47,820. The trim walk remains the same – LX, EX, EX-L, Touring, and Elite. The Odyssey doesn’t take much of a journey into the unknown for 2021 – the changes amount to mildly refreshed styling and the addition of Honda Sensing, the company’s suite of driver’s-aid features, as standard. And Honda’s Odyssey is more engaging than the Chrysler. But that’s not always the case – Chrysler’s Pacifica Hybrid (review forthcoming) isn’t a chore to drive. Regardless of why one buys a minivan, he or she probably anticipates that the driving experience will be far from fun. Others do so for the utility – coolness be damned. Life circumstances force some folks to buy minivans. ![]() ![]() The central government was able to consolidate control over nearly the entire eastern seaboard, bringing all 13 colonies under one frayed banner. It’s a story of how a boomtown for the many succumbed to the wills of the few, a story of how a community came to be and how, in time, it came undone.īy the early 19th century, the United States, the country to which Deadwood would eventually belong, was beginning to look less like a patchwork of discomposed communities and more like a coherent nation. And the story of Deadwood, the mining camp in South Dakota where there existed no legal authority other than the one it made for itself, is perhaps the best example of how people can fail in a place where they shouldn’t, and how in their failure they can forfeit the community they built. The answers to these questions, no matter where they’re asked, form a story. What happens, then, when they choose wrong? Geographic forces and features inform the decisions of those who are endowed with the responsibility to make them, but those same forces and features can’t dictate what the decisions will be. ![]() Geography is fixed, more or less, but people are mutable, even mercurial. ![]() ![]() Not in their capacity to subjugate the lands they live on but in their competence to sustain the communities they build. Geopolitics may be the study of people in place, but what is so often ignored in the arrangement, but is just as often true, is the power of people. We just don’t know when it will happen.If you could create a community from scratch, knowing all that you know of what the land had to offer, understanding everything you understand about human nature, what would it look like? How would you create laws and rights in a place that has neither? How would you transact business? How would you instill in the community the value of the institutions that purport to serve it?Īnd if you decided to build these institutions, how would you maintain and promote them? To what extent would you rely on brute force as a necessary adjunct to their creation? Would you consider other means? Would the short-term benefits of your tactics outweigh the costs to your strategic interests? And it’s a network that usually gets what it wants. Some of the former cast have expressed a willingness to revisit their Deadwood roles, but the schedule allow will be a challenge to bring them all together.īut the important takeaway is that HBO wants more Deadwood. The other potential fly in the ointment will be reuniting Deadwood’s brilliant cast, which included Ian McShane, Timothy Olyphant, Molly Parker, Kim Dickens, Anna Gunn, and Paula Malcomson among others. No one is quite sure how long that will take. The bad news is that Milch is currently tied to another project and unable to write the script for the Deadwood movie until he finishes his current commitment. “He pitched what he thought generally the storyline would be - and knowing David, that could change. “David has our commitment that we are going to do it,” said Lombardo. ![]() According to TVLine, HBO President Michael Lombardo said that the network has finally given Milch the greenlight to proceed with a Deadwood movie.

Having the right team member in charge of the right duties ensure job satisfaction and top quality work. It should go without saying that management should also take stock of their teams strengths and weaknesses, and direct their team accordingly. Engaged and happy employees will happily and organically engage with members leaving plenty of opportunity for personal touches that members appreciate. Its the little things that make all the difference. The team should also have a genuine desire for service and hospitality. As a team, communication is your most important tool for delivering on that member happiness. This comes in many forms such as engaging members in conversations and taking genuine interest in their concerns or issues within the office. Every member of the staff should understand that success is dependent on member happiness. The last important piece to a successful coworking space, is a great team led by great management. Never underestimate the power of greeting your members by name and providing a favorite snack for them that they casually brought up in conversation to you once. For example, members who don't feel heard at their place of work or feel they aren't getting any value from the space. This can lead to poor member engagement and even some frustrating scenarios. Far too many coworking businesses put an emphasis on multiple locations over the service they provide. Value that can take a space to the next level. As experts in the field of flexible workspaces, we understand the value great hospitality and service. Theres a fine balance between multiple locations and the service those locations can provide.Īt Village Workspaces, we pride ourselves on offering the best hospitality of any flexible workspace. In addition to that, it can be almost harder to find an office with a staff that takes their member's specific needs into consideration. With so many coworking offices available, it can be challenging to find one that truly grasps the idea of successful coworking. Probably the most integral part of a successful flexible workspace is the service provided by the staff. Through her expertise and knowledge, Village Workspaces is recognized as one of the top designed flexible workspaces in Los Angeles. Sophie Keller, a self-proclaimed expert with 10 years experience in coworking spaces, helped meticulously design the look and feel of Village Workspaces. Do we work best in a quiet areas? Does music help our focus or distract? Do we like to work alone or around others? A well designed flexible workspace will have the capability to accommodate any work style. In order to run a successful flexible workspace, its important to understand how people work. The design of the space itself is very important, and does factor into the productivity of those who work in them. Its a complex ecosystem involving the space, its members, and the team who run it.Ī lot research has gone into understanding how coworking and flexible workspaces operate and how to best design them. A flexible workspace is more than just an office. ![]() ![]() ![]() I opted to stay in the Buffalo Run Inn in Marblemount because it is on the side of the park closer to Seattle. Winthrop is much bigger and has multiple options for hotels and cabins. Marblemount is on the west side of the park, while Winthrop is on the east. If the national park lodges are booked up or too expensive, there are two towns that will get you closest to the park: Marblemount and Winthrop.

Although the flood has not yet abated by the end of the film, it is strongly implied that it will recede into the ocean shortly, leaving no lasting damage.Īt the Venice International Film Festival in 2008, Miyazaki addressed the tsunami in Ponyo, saying, "There are many typhoons and earthquakes in Japan, and there is no point in portraying these natural disasters as evil events. Meanwhile, the flood has transformed the landscape into something magical, a world flourishing with life, including fish from the Devonian era. This is, it seems, a tsunami without disaster. No sense of danger is acknowledged, nor is the possibility that the seniors were wiped out in the tsunami. The leaders of the evacuation allow the children to go on to the senior home unsupervised, saying that they will pick up the seniors next. Sōsuke remarks that "It's just like a parade!" and the festive atmosphere is, indeed, unmistakable. Soon afterwards (1:17:28), a train of colourful flag-decked boats pass with rowers' cries of "Yoi-sa!" while en route to the Mountain Peak Hotel. At 1:14:40, they encounter a mother, father, and baby casually out for a gondola ride with sunhats and parasols.
