After Monday, the next total solar eclipse won’t occur until 2026. But it will graze the top of the world, dipping into Greenland, Iceland and Spain. The next one in 2027 will march across Spain and northern Africa, with totality lasting an incredible 6 1/2 minutes. North America won’t experience totality again until 2033, with Alaska getting sole dibs. The next one won’t be until 2044, when totality will be confined to Western Canada, Montana and North Dakota.

Eclipse Across America: Millions of Americans witness a rare total solar eclipse

A total solar eclipse came to North America on Monday, April 8. It enteted over Mexico’s Pacific coast, dashing across the U.S. from Texas to Maine before exiting over eastern Canada into the Atlantic. The peak spectacle lasted up to 4 minutes, and 28 seconds in the path of total darkness – a 115-mile-wide path that slices across the continent. That’s the place to be to experience the full eclipse – most of the rest of the continent outside the path of totality will get a partial eclipse. WHAT IS A TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE? During a total solar eclipse, the moon lines up perfectly between the Earth and the sun, blotting out the sunlight. On April 8, the moon’s shadow will slice a diagonal line from the southwest to the northeast across North America, briefly plunging communities along the track into darkness.

Best jump rope workout: Fitness influencer spreads love of jumping rope in Chicago, beyond

CHICAGO — Fitness influencer Rachel Jablow’s following on Instagram has increased by leaps and bounds through the power of jump rope. Her business, Get Roped, is named after an exercise method she created, which incorporates intervals of strength training and jump roping. “We alternate between cardio and strength, and it’s all set to a really fun, heart-pounding playlist,” Jablow said. “It was something really different that I really had to introduce to people to get them to sort of try something new.” Jablow, formerly a trader in the finance industry, sprang into the world of jumping rope after a neck injury sidelined her normal running routine. After a friend recommended she take up jump rope, she developed her unique program, and was soon recruited to teach classes while pursuing fitness instruction certifications. “One day, I woke up, and decided I’m leaving New York. I’m leaving Wall Street, and I’m going to start my own fitness business,” Jablow said. “At any point in life, you can really change, you can create something that you’re passionate about, and make something of it.” Jablow came to Chicago, and

Biden and Trump’s main challenge? The apathetic voters who could decide the election

Faith E. Pinho | (TNS) Los Angeles Times Although Haley Fox, 30, frequently chats politics with friends and family, she said, the moment the phrase “election 2024” comes up she feels her body fill with dread. “There hasn’t been anything that has represented me for a really long time,” said Fox, a San Diego-based photographer. “So, like, 2024, just seeing what we have to choose from — it just feels so bleak.” For Fox and many other Americans, election-year ennui is setting in. President Biden and former President Trump became their parties’ presumptive nominees weeks ago, capping one of the shortest primary seasons in U.S. history and beginning the long runway to the general election. “It’s essentially two incumbents running against each other, is how it feels,” said Jared Sichel, a GOP strategist and co-founder of the Costa Mesa-based Republican marketing firm Winning Tuesday. “It’s kind of just Groundhog Day for a lot of people.” Voters who don’t want either option — “double haters,” as they’re dubbed — make up about 15% of the electorate, according to polling last month from USA Today and Suffolk University. Other polls show their share to be

Donald Trump asks appeals court to intervene in last-minute bid to delay hush money criminal case

By MICHAEL R. SISAK and JAKE OFFENHARTZ (Associated Press) NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump asked a New York appeals court on Monday to reverse his gag order and move his hush money criminal trial out of Manhattan in an eleventh-hour bid for a delay just a week before it is scheduled to start. A judge in the state’s mid-level appeals court was to hold an emergency hearing Monday afternoon after the former president’s lawyers filed paperwork challenging Manhattan Judge Juan M. Merchan’s pretrial rulings. The documents were placed under seal, but a person familiar with the matter told The Associated Press they pertained to Trump’s gag order — recently expanded to prohibit comments about judge’s family — and the Republican’s desire to move the trial out of heavily Democratic Manhattan. The person was unauthorized to speak publicly and did so on the condition of anonymity. Messages seeking comment were left for Trump’s lawyers, the Manhattan district attorney’s office and a spokesperson for New York’s state court system. Trump had pledged to appeal after Merchan ruled last month that the trial would begin April 15.

How do wildfires affect mental health? A new study examines the connection

Taylor Blatchford | (TNS) Seattle Times SEATTLE — Checking air quality and staying indoors when smoke inundates the Seattle area has become second nature during Washington’s wildfire season in recent years. But new research highlights how wildfires can affect a less visible aspect of well-being: mental health. A University of Washington study published in late February found an increase in prescriptions to treat depression and anxiety or stabilize mood in the six weeks after wildfires. The study used prescription data, commercial insurance claims and pharmacy records to examine the impact of 25 large California wildfires from 2011 to 2018. “California experienced a substantial burden of wildfires from 2011 to 2018, and as wildfires become more intense and frequent in the context of anthropogenic climate change, it is increasingly important to understand and address their mental health effects,” the authors wrote. Extensive research has focused on how wildfires and smoke affect cardiovascular and respiratory health; a study published in February found that the overlap of extreme heat and wildfire smoke had a compound effect and increased hospitalizations. But few studies have examined how fires affect mental

Menstrual cycles can affect day-to-day suicide risk, study finds

When Tory Eisenlohr-Moul was training as a therapist, she saw people who had chronic suicidal thoughts — thoughts that would abruptly change from week to week. But when one of Eisenlohr-Moul’s patients mentioned her menstrual cycle was impacting her symptoms, the clinical psychologist homed in on how menses might be part of the equation. “I started having people track their mood symptoms against their menstrual cycle and it seemed, for a lot of my patients, this was a really important reason that their suicidal thoughts and depression were changing week to week,” said the associate professor of psychiatry at the University of Illinois Chicago. “I thought if we had some evidence that this was common then maybe we could do something about it.” Eisenlohr-Moul led researchers to study how suicidal thoughts fluctuate across the menstrual cycle. The result is a longitudinal study, published in the American Journal of Psychiatry in December, where Eisenlohr-Moul, postdoctoral researcher and clinical psychologist Jaclyn Ross, and M.D. and Ph.D. student Jordan Barone followed 119 female patients who tracked their suicidal thoughts and mental health symptoms daily over at least one
