Rainforest Cafe
Rainforest Cafe is a themed restaurant chain owned by Landry's Restaurants, Inc. of Houston, Texas. It was founded and created by entrepreneur Steven Schussler.
Description
The restaurants are decorated to depict some features of a generic rainforest, including plant growth, mist, waterfalls, robotic animals, and insects. Large marine aquariums are common in most restaurants. Automated water sprinklers and synchronized lights set to specific patterns are also featured. A simulated thunderstorm occurs every thirty minutes, utilizing simulated rain as well as flashing lights and high-powered subwoofers for lightning and thunder. Some of the cafes feature robotic talking animals to give visitors facts about the rainforests. The restaurants are partitioned into several rooms by means of rain curtains that fall into basins running along the tops of partition walls and booths.
Some of the Rainforest Cafe restaurants also have a Retail Village where rainforest themed merchandise is sold.

Disneyland
Disneyland Park, originally Disneyland, is the first of two theme parks built at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California, opened on July 17, 1955. It is the only theme park designed and built under the direct supervision of Walt Disney. It was originally the only attraction on the property; its name was changed to Disneyland Park to distinguish it from the expanding complex in the 1990s.
Walt Disney came up with the concept of Disneyland after visiting various amusement parks with his daughters in the 1930s and 1940s. He initially envisioned building a tourist attraction adjacent to his studios in Burbank to entertain fans who wished to visit; however, he soon realized that the proposed site was too small. After hiring a consultant to help him determine an appropriate site for his project, Walt bought a 160-acre (65 ha) site near Anaheim in 1953. Construction began in 1954 and the park was unveiled during a special televised press event on the ABC Television Network on July 17, 1955.

Fast KONE MRL traction elevators at Old Market Lofts (Phase III extension), Omaha NE
Shot 8/24/2013. Featuring Vator Hunters
These appear to be too old to be EcoDisc (which was introduced in 2004), but these are nonetheless MRL.
There are six elevators here in three banks of two, but I lost the takes of the other two banks unfortunately.

The Drucker School of Management celebrated the launch of the Drucker School Global Family Business Institute on April 12, 2018, featuring special guests and leaders from the family business sector, including keynote speaker Jamie T. Richardson, vice president of the White Castle Management Company, a family-owned business; and Randall W. Lewis, executive vice president of the Lewis Group of Companies.
The kick-off event also featured a welcome (via videoconference) from alumnus Andrew Chen (MBA, ’10), the founding donor of the Drucker School Global Family Business Institute who moved back to Taiwan to work at his family’s business, which supplies merchandise to Starbucks worldwide; and reports from alumnus Koji Ogura (EMBA, ’11), the director for Japan and Drucker-Ito Relationships who previously worked for 25 years for Yamato Holdings, a Japanese logistics company that his grandfather started in 1919; and Jenny Darroch, the Henry Y. Hwang Dean of the Drucker School, professor, and Drucker brand champion.
The panel discussion was moderated by family business consultant and alumna Pat Soldano (EMBA, ’86).

Auburn Coach Wife Kristi Malzahn Agrees with Match & eHarmony: Men are Jerks
My advice is this: Settle! That's right. Don't worry about passion or intense connection. Don't nix a guy based on his annoying habit of yelling Bravo! in movie theaters. Overlook his halitosis or abysmal sense of aesthetics. Because if you want to have the infrastructure in place to have a family, settling is the way to go. Based on my observations, in fact, settling will probably make you happier in the long run, since many of those who marry with great expectations become more disillusioned with each passing year. (It's hard to maintain that level of zing when the conversation morphs into discussions about who's changing the diapers or balancing the checkbook.)
Obviously, I wasn't always an advocate of settling. In fact, it took not settling to make me realize that settling is the better option, and even though settling is a rampant phenomenon, talking about it in a positive light makes people profoundly uncomfortable. Whenever I make the case for settling, people look at me with creased brows of disapproval or frowns of disappointment, the way a child might look at an older sibling who just informed her that Jerry's Kids aren't going to walk, even if you send them money. It's not only politically incorrect to get behind settling, it's downright un-American. Our culture tells us to keep our eyes on the prize (while our mothers, who know better, tell us not to be so picky), and the theme of holding out for true love (whatever that is—look at the divorce rate) permeates our collective mentality.
Even situation comedies, starting in the 1970s with The Mary Tyler Moore Show and going all the way to Friends, feature endearing single women in the dating trenches, and there's supposed to be something romantic and even heroic about their search for true love. Of course, the crucial difference is that, whereas the earlier series begins after Mary has been jilted by her fiancé, the more modern-day Friends opens as Rachel Green leaves her nice-guy orthodontist fiancé at the altar simply because she isn't feeling it. But either way, in episode after episode, as both women continue to be unlucky in love, settling starts to look pretty darn appealing. Mary is supposed to be contentedly independent and fulfilled by her newsroom family, but in fact her life seems lonely. Are we to assume that at the end of the series, Mary, by then in her late 30s, found her soul mate after the lights in the newsroom went out and her work family was disbanded? If her experience was anything like mine or that of my single friends, it's unlikely.
And while Rachel and her supposed soul mate, Ross, finally get together (for the umpteenth time) in the finale of Friends, do we feel confident that she'll be happier with Ross than she would have been had she settled down with Barry, the orthodontist, 10 years earlier? She and Ross have passion but have never had long-term stability, and the fireworks she experiences with him but not with Barry might actually turn out to be a liability, given how many times their relationship has already gone up in flames. It's equally questionable whether Sex and the City's Carrie Bradshaw, who cheated on her kindhearted and generous boyfriend, Aidan, only to end up with the more exciting but self-absorbed Mr. Big, will be better off in the framework of marriage and family. (Some time after the breakup, when Carrie ran into Aidan on the street, he was carrying his infant in a Baby Björn. Can anyone imagine Mr. Big walking around with a Björn?)
