'Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge' is Coming to Super Nintendo World at Universal Studios Hollywood6/5/2022
The highly-anticipated opening of Super Nintendo World at Universal Studios Hollywood represents the first Super Nintendo World to debut in the United States, designed to transport theme park guests and Nintendo® fans into the world of Mario, Luigi and Princess Peach to be part of the Mushroom Kingdom.
Guests will access Super Nintendo World via the iconic Warp Pipe to enter the land where they will find the Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge ride located within Bowser’s Castle. This innovative achievement will propel guests into a multi-dimensional experience that recreates iconic environments from the Mario Kart games and where no two races are alike. Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge is also one of the most complex rides ever built within the entertainment industry.
The sophisticated ride is a multi-sensory cornucopia of color, sound and movement that invites guests to navigate familiar environs through the creative use and integration of head mounted augmented reality (AR) goggles—a key point of differentiation that distinguishes this ride from other theme park attractions.
From the depths of the dungeon within Bowser’s Castle, guests will climb aboard stadium-style, four-seat Mario Kart vehicles inspired by the video game, put on their AR goggles …and then with a 3-2-1 GO! signal from Lakitu, they will be off to the races.
The premise is simple but equally inspiring and challenging and will appeal to guests of all ages regardless of gaming experience. As part of Team Mario, guests will steer through courses underwater and in the clouds to compete for the Golden Cup while collecting coins to defeat Team Bowser and win.
Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge raises the stakes for guests as an intriguing and repeatable ride with a variety of outcomes.
Super Nintendo World is conceived in partnership with Nintendo and the visionaries at Universal Creative to deliver exhilarating entertainment with innovative technological achievements inspired by characters and video games that have appealed to Nintendo fans for generations.
The immersive land will be a visual spectacle of vibrant colors and architectural ingenuity located within a newly expanded area of Universal Studios Hollywood that will feature the groundbreaking ride, Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge, and interactive areas, to be enjoyed by the whole family, along with themed shopping and dining to enhance the entire experience. Universal Studios Hollywood and guests continue the countdown to the land’s early 2023 opening with the Feature Presentation retail store, well stocked with Super Nintendo World merchandise such as Mario and Luigi themed apparel and iconic character hats and a selection of plush characters, including Mario, Luigi, Yoshi and Bowser.

As a result, it is more important than ever for healthcare organizations to have a solid online presence. This step-by-step guide will help you build and maintain a website that will represent your organization well and help you connect with patients and customers. Choose a Domain Name and Web Host The first step in creating a healthcare website is to choose a domain name and web host. Your domain name should be short, easy to remember, and relevant to your organization. Once you have chosen a domain name, you will need to find a web host that offers the features and services you need. There are many web hosting providers available, so be sure to research to find the one that best meets your needs. Design Your Website Once you have chosen a domain name and web host, it's time to design your website. The design of your website should be professional and reflect the image you want to project to your patients and customers. For instance, if you are into offering home care services, you need a website design reflecting home care services. These customized designs will ensure that your website is visually appealing to visitors. If you are not a professional web designer, many template-based website builders can help you create a high-quality website. Be sure to include important information on your websites, such as your contact information, location, hours of operation, and services offered. You should also consider including a blog on your website. A blog is a great way to share timely and relevant information with your visitors, and it can also help you improve your website's search engine optimization (SEO). Add Supplementary Pages In addition to your home page, you should also create supplementary pages that provide more detailed information about your healthcare organization. For instance, you might want to create a page that provides an overview of your services, a page that introduces your staff, and a page that includes testimonials from satisfied patients. Optimize Your Website for Search Engines Search engine optimization, or SEO, is the process of optimizing a website to rank higher on search engine results pages. By improving the visibility of a website, SEO can help attract more visitors and leads. There are several factors that influence SEO, including site structure, content, keywords, and backlinks. To optimize your website for search engines, start by ensuring your site is well-structured and easy to navigate. Then, create compelling and keyword-rich content that will help your site rank higher in search results. Finally, build links to your site from high-quality websites to further improve your visibility and SEO. By following these tips, you can optimize your website for search engines and improve your chances of attracting more traffic. Monitor Your Website's Performance Once your healthcare website is up and running, it's important to monitor its performance. There are a number of tools available that can help you track your website's traffic, including Google Analytics. By monitoring your website's performance, you can make changes as needed to improve its overall effectiveness. Develop a Content Strategy As you create content for your healthcare website, it is essential to develop a content strategy. This strategy should include the topics you want to write about, the keywords you want to target, and the overall tone and voice you want to use. By developing a content strategy, you can ensure that all of your content is relevant and useful to your target audience. Market and Promote Your Business Online Once you have created a website for your healthcare business, it's important to market and promote it. There are a number of ways to market and promote a website, including paid advertising, social media, and email marketing. By using a combination of these methods, you can reach a large audience and generate more traffic to your site. Creating an online presence can be challenging for any business, but it is especially important for healthcare organizations. By following this guide and investing in a good website design, you can ensure that your healthcare organization has a strong online presence that will help you connect with patients, build trust, and improve your bottom line. sponsored article
The San Diego Zoo invites visitors to join in the fun of Nighttime Zoo, a summertime experience that offers guests the chance to explore the Zoo at night, when it’s usually closed to the public. From June 3 through Sept. 5, the Zoo will be open late and filled with live entertainment from a variety of artists, special summer treats, and an opportunity to see wildlife from a different perspective. At every turn, Zoo-goers will be enchanted by musical performers, dancers, acrobats, and crowd favorite Dr. Zoolittle, among others. Nighttime Zoo has long been a favorite summer event, but this year it starts even earlier—meaning the Zoo will be open late for 94 adventure-filled nights! Nighttime Zoo also provides explorers of all ages the chance to see the new Denny Sanford Wildlife Explorers Basecamp like never before. This 3.2-acre environment blends immersive technology with opportunities to check out extraordinary wildlife species, and it’s designed to serve as a launch pad for budding conservationists. Wildlife Explorers Basecamp is divided into four types of habitats and features the wildlife that live in these areas—Rainforest, Wild Woods, Marsh Meadows and Desert Dunes. For the first time ever, Nighttime Zoo visitors will get to see their favorite nocturnal wildlife from each habitat when they’re most active, including caimans, an ocelot, a tamandua, a prehensile-tailed porcupine, scorpions, a coconut crab, fennec foxes, and more! With each visit during Nighttime Zoo this summer, wildlife allies will help support San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance in its mission to save wildlife worldwide and help create a world where all life thrives.

Then you realize you're far from moving past that experience/event/heartache you went through. This is more normal than you think -ignoring something that needs healing or thinking you got over it miraculously. Truth is, most of us are carrying old pains and don't realize how much it's actually affecting us. Because we have been successful at ignoring it for so long, we find ourselves tired, depressed, and at a loss for energy, for moving forward. At this point, there is no other option but to look at your life and examine it. Examine yourself, your emotions... how are you feeling? Why? What happened? When? Are you ok with what happened? Why? Answer these questions truthfully to yourself. You can use a piece of paper, your notes app, even record it in your voice memos. Address these emotions. Take time to reflect on it. What can you do? In my experience, I have found the first thing you need is rest. Get some rest. Sleep. Give yourself permission to skip drowning yourself in piles of work. Rest. When you feel rested, ask yourself these questions again or for the first time. If you find yourself having trouble answering these questions and finding solutions, it might be time to reach out for a little help. And let me say, counseling is something we should all be into. No matter the age, race, where you come from. Allow yourself the opportunity to heal. To really heal. And hey, closing your eyes and pressing your palms agains each other also helps. Pray for guidance. You can and will heal from this experience/event/heartache you went through. You are capable of healing. You are worthy of healing. You are capable of peace. You are worthy of peace. You are capable of joy. You are worthy of joy. You can and you will. by Jessica G Ferrer There's nothing like a day at the spa. Whether you're getting a massage, a facial, or just soaking in a Jacuzzi, it's an opportunity to relax and rejuvenate. However, life is often so busy that it's hard to find the time (and money) to visit a spa regularly. Fortunately, there are ways to bring the spa experience home. By taking some time to create a calming and peaceful environment, you can enjoy many of the benefits of a spa day without even leaving your house. Below are some tips to help you get started.Dedicate a space for your activity Find a quiet spot in your home where you can relax and not be disturbed. It might be a corner of your bedroom, living room, or even outside your backyard. If you have young children, it might be helpful to set up a play area for them in another room so that they are not underfoot while trying to relax. You don't need much space, but you need enough to move around and set up your equipment comfortably. Suppose you're planning on doing yoga or meditation, clear an area of floor space. If you're going to use a massage table, make sure you have enough room to set it up and move around. Nonetheless, what matters is that the space is comfortable for you, and you can easily relax there. Gather your supplies Now that you have a dedicated space, it's time to gather supplies. It will depend on what activities you want to do at your home spa. Some basic things you might need include: Yoga mat or meditation cushion These items will provide a comfortable and stable surface for you to practice yoga or meditation. A simple cushion or pillows will suffice if you don't have either. Massage table or towel If you plan on giving yourself a massage, you'll need a surface to lie on. A massage table is ideal but can be expensive. A towel or blanket on the floor will work just as well. Essential oils A few drops of essential oil in your diffuser can help create a calming and relaxing atmosphere. You can find various essential oils such as lavender, rosehip, or peppermint oil for sale in-store, or you can purchase them online. Bath supplies If you plan on taking a bath, make sure you have everything you need, such as a clean towel, soap, and shampoo. Adding some Epsom salt to your bath can help soothe tired muscles. Setting the mood Now that you have all your supplies, it's time to set the mood. This step is essential in creating a spa-like experience at home. It will help you relax and get into the right frame of mind for your activities. While there's no one-size-fits-all answer, a few key elements can help set the mood. For starters, try to create a space free from distractions and clutter. That means putting away electronics and other potential sources of stress. Next, focus on creating a relaxing atmosphere with calming colors, soft lighting, and soothing scents. Candles, diffusers, and essential oils can all be helpful in this regard. Finally, don't forget the power of touch! A soft robe, cozy slippers, and gentle music can help you feel pampered and relaxed. By incorporating these elements into your home environment, you can create a genuinely conducive space for relaxation. Add personal elements Now that you have a relaxing space set up, it's time to incorporate some personal touches. It could mean anything from adding photos of loved ones to setting out fresh flowers. The goal is to make the space feel like your own, so choose whatever elements can help you relax and feel comfortable. Many people find that a home spa is a perfect opportunity to disconnect from the outside world and focus on self-care. If that's what you're looking for, make sure your space reflects that intention. It is your time to relax and recharge, so don't hesitate to make the space entirely your own. Be grateful One final step in creating a luxurious home spa experience is cultivating an attitude of gratitude. It can be easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of daily life and forget to appreciate the good things. But taking a moment to pause and reflect on what you're grateful for can help shift your perspective and foster a sense of contentment. Take a few minutes to sit quietly and reflect on what you're grateful for at your home spa. It could be anything from your comfortable bed to the people in your life. By taking some time to appreciate the good things, you can help yourself feel more relaxed and at ease. Creating a spa-like atmosphere at home doesn't have to be complicated or expensive. Just a few simple changes can make a big difference. With just a little effort, you can transform your home into a haven of peace and relaxation. sponsored article
It all began 50 years ago when the San Diego Zoo Safari Park opened its doors. While festive music played and Safari Park team members and entertainers welcomed guests, an unsuspecting visitor, 10-year-old Ethan Kemerling, and his parents, Stacy and Eric, were greeted by Lisa Peterson, the Safari Park’s executive director. Peterson informed Ethan that he was the 50th guest to enter the Safari Park, and presented him with an oversized San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance lifetime membership card. This surprise gift allows Ethan, who lives in Fargo, North Dakota, to have unlimited visits to the Safari Park and the San Diego Zoo, where he can explore and connect with wildlife for years to come. “As we celebrate the Safari Park’s 50-year anniversary, it is my honor to welcome all of our guests today—and give special recognition to Ethan, our 50th guest entering the Park this morning,” said Peterson. “We have an amazing day planned for him and his parents. We believe an encounter with wildlife can transform a child’s dreams into a passion for changing the lives of endangered animals, and we hope this special day of memory-making moments does just that for Ethan.”
“At the Safari Park, we bring people closer to wildlife than most people can imagine,” said Peterson. “At any moment, guests can experience something truly life changing—and our hope is these life-changing moments instill a passion in each person to want to change the lives of endangered wildlife and their native habitats." He continued, “The Park’s golden anniversary not only provides an opportunity to reflect on the last 50 years of impact created by the Safari Park, but also is a time to look ahead and see what the future can be: a place where science and biotechnology work seamlessly with world-class wildlife care, along with empathy, hope and the desire for a world where all life thrives.” He concluded, “Entering the second half-century, the outlook couldn’t be brighter." Alicia Machado comparte cuáles son los valores que busca en una pareja después de años viviendo como madre soltera. A todas las madres ¿Quizás ha llegado el momento de abrirse a nuevas oportunidades? De la mano de Chispa, Alicia nos abre las puertas de su corazón en esta carta abierta. “Para mí ha sido un camino largo y la mayoría no sabe qué significa ser una mujer trabajadora, una profesional que al mismo tiempo esté comprometida con su trabajo y la oportunidad real de tener una pareja. Tener que lidiar entre tantos compromisos y la búsqueda de la felicidad en la vida personal no es fácil, por suerte ahora tenemos nuevas herramientas que nos pueden ayudar”
Un consejo de Alicia a todas las madres que buscan una nueva pareja: “Conócelo, vete a cenar con él, descúbrelo poquito a poco, y verás que él te enamorará. Tus hijos son parte de ti y, cuando de verdad valga la pena, todo caerá en su lugar. Además, si es buen padre será buen marido y amará todo de ti.”
Are you experiencing confusion about dental implants in Ipswich? Here, some commonly searched online questions about oral implants are answered. Can my oral implants get cavities? Oral implants are porcelain caps over a steel or titanium core. They are not susceptible to cavities. Cavities are created by intense localised dental acid damage. From small colonies of anaerobic bacteria, which digest sugars into acid byproducts. These attack enamel and cause pits in the teeth that are referred to as cavities. Implants use a poly porcelain crystalline coating and therefore are not vulnerable to acid attack. So they can become stained and even become built up with plaque and tartar with poor oral hygiene. But they cannot form cavities. Can the implant slip and rub like a denture? An implant is permanently fused into the jaw. The lower part of the implant undergoes a process known as osseointegration. New bone grows around it, locking it in place. Implants cannot slip or rub like dentures but neither can they be removed for cleaning. This means that you have to treat them more like natural teeth with regular brushing and flossing. Aren’t oral implants a lot more expensive than bridges and dentures? Implants are often more expensive than bridges and significantly more expensive than dentures alone. But both of these systems have significant drawbacks that you would not have to suffer from an immobilised implant-supported prosthetic. They are easier to clean, they feel more natural as they are integrated into your bone and are therefore harder to distinguish from regular teeth. Most dental clinics that offer implants will also have in clinic financing options allowing you to pay for your dental care in small manageable monthly payments. Rather than a single payment that may be disruptive to your personal finance. How long do implants last? This is a tough question to answer as each person has their own genetic variations and their own lifestyle choices. If you have no genetic complications, like osteoporosis, and take good care of your implants, it is highly likely that they will last between 10 and 15 years. Be sure to treat them as you would your regular teeth, which will not be hard. Brush them, floss them and as usual, see your dentist twice a year for check-ups. You may also need to visit your hygienist. Gum disease is a leading cause of loose or lost oral implants. So it is worth attending at least a yearly appointment with your hygienist to keep your oral implants in place Does the fitting hurt? The fitting of oral implants should not be uncomfortable. Your dental team will be able to provide you with a local anaesthetic before they begin. If you are a more nervous patient, you may be offered sedation options. The fitting is quite straightforward but when you are at home afterwards, you may experience a sensation that feels like bruising or soreness. This is normal. You should aim to mitigate this using over-the-counter pain relief like paracetamol and ice packs. If you spot pus, notice abnormal swelling, bleeding or general discomfort which is not fading, then you need to seek emergency treatment. sponsored article

Many adults are curious about the options available for them to have their teeth straightened later in life. And luckily, many treatments can offer this without drawing unnecessary attention to their teeth, which is especially important if they have a job that requires them to give talks or even lectures. The most popular option for orthodontic realignment is a clear or invisible aligner among adult patients. But what is involved in this treatment option? This article aims to answer this question in a bit more depth. Consultation The most commonly used invisible aligner is Invisalign Sydney CBD and the first step of undergoing this treatment is to attend a consultation with a dentist or orthodontist who can offer this aligner to you. The consultation will involve the dentist looking at and assessing the health of your mouth alongside taking an intraoral scan of the position of your teeth, so that the computer software has a starting base of how your teeth look when you begin your treatment. This scan is then sent to a dental laboratory, where a computer predicts the required movements needed for you to get the end result that you want. From this, the aligners are printed, usually, there are between 12 and 16 in total. Fitting The fitting of an invisible aligner is very different to the fitting of a brace. Your dentist will simply place the first one in your mouth and assess that it fits correctly and that there is no problem with tracking or air bubbles between the aligner and your teeth. And then you are good to go! Daily wear Each day you need to wear the aligner for a minimum of 22 hours. This is so the aligners can get the required time needed to move your teeth gently into their desired positions. If you do not wear the aligners for this time period, your orthodontic treatment will likely stall or your teeth may even revert to their previous positions, which is not what you want to happen when you have spent money on this treatment. Issues and solutions As this aligner is removable it is possible that you may lose it or one may become damaged or warped. If this occurs, you will need to contact your dentist to order a replacement aligner and you should not skip to the next aligner in the series. This can cause issues with tracking and may even cause more orthodontic problems. When it comes to cleaning your invisible aligners, you should always aim to use cold water and if necessary, a gentle toothpaste. Under no circumstance should you ever use hot water to clean them, as this can cause the plastic to become bent out of shape and will render the aligner poorly fitting and useless. Treatment time As mentioned, before you will need to wear the aligner for a minimum of 22 hours per day in order to get the best results from it. Depending on the severity of the misalignment, you can expect to wear the aligner for 3 to 6 months, but this also depends on how regularly you stick to the 22 hours per day of required wear. DISCLAIMER Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner. sponsored article
