SUMMARY: During a total solar eclipse, the moon blocks out the sun due to its apparent size being the same as the sun in the sky. The moon's shadow travels at high speeds across the United States, with many cities experiencing a few minutes of totality. Before totality, look for Bailey's beads and the diamond ring effect as the corona of the sun becomes visible. As darkness falls and temperatures drop, the experience of seeing the corona is described as incredibly beautiful. Only a small percentage of people will witness a total solar eclipse in their lifetime, making it a rare and special event worth celebrating with an egg cream afterwards.

The April 8th total solar eclipse will occur in the U.S Exactly 6 years, 7 months and 18 days after the last total solar eclipse. Don't get too used to this – the next one won't happen until the year 2044! The Weather Channel Meteorologist, Mike Bettes shares fast facts about the upcoming eclipse.

SUMMARY: Mississippi is facing a healthcare crisis with high rates of diabetes, hypertension, cancer mortality, kidney disease, and stroke. Millions of federal dollars are available to expand Medicaid, potentially solving the crisis. However, Governor Reeves opposes Medicaid expansion. Mississippi must prioritize affordable healthcare to address preventable health issues. State leadership successfully addressed education challenges in the past, indicating potential for healthcare improvement. While Medicaid expansion may not be the sole solution, alternative options must be explored. Time is of the essence in addressing the state's healthcare crisis before it escalates further. Expanding preventive healthcare is crucial. (100 words)

SUMMARY: Beth Ann White has been indicted once again and faces a new charge in connection with a deadly DUI crash in November 2021 that killed a woman and her young son, and injured her two daughters. Prosecutors have clarified their evidence and White is now facing a fourth offense DUI charge due to her prior convictions. The trial, which previously ended in a hung jury, will commence again next week. Legal experts believe that prosecutors have refined their case and stand a better chance of securing a conviction in the retrial, as repeated trials typically benefit the prosecution.
