The Best Cities to See the Eclipse - The Eclipse Path - New YOrk, Pennsylvania , Main, New Hampshire, Ohio, Illinois Etc

 

On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will cross the United States from Texas to Maine. If you've never seen a total solar eclipse before, you're in for a treat. During this celestial phenomenon, the moon blocks out the sun's light over a narrow strip of the Earth, resulting in eerie daytime darkness for a few minutes. The event is so awe-inspiring that some people become eclipse chasers, circling the globe for each total solar eclipse. Are you ready to see the show yourself? Here's where you'll be able to see the 2024 total solar eclipse in the U.S.

What is a total solar eclipse?

A solar eclipse occurs when the Earth, sun, and moon align in such a way that the moon's shadow falls across the surface of the Earth. From Earth, you will see the moon moving in front of the sun. A total solar eclipse occurs when the moon is in the exact right position to completely block out the sun's light. Those who are in the path of totality — the area from which the total solar eclipse is visible — will experience daytime darkness.

How to Prepare for a Solar Eclipse

If you plan on traveling to the path of totality, make sure you book your accommodations well in advance of the eclipse. During the last total eclipse in the U.S., which occurred in 2017, more than 20 million Americans traveled to see the eclipse. And it's likely that even more will travel for the eclipse in 2024. Given that the path of totality is relatively narrow — just 115 miles wide — hotels, vacation rentals, and campsites in or near the path are likely to book up quickly. 

Then there's the matter of safety. Never look into the sun with the naked eye, as you could suffer permanent optical damage. In order to safely view the eclipse, wear solar eclipse glasses, which will protect your eyes while allowing you to see the moon moving in front of the sun. Once you're in totality, you'll be able to look at the moon-obscured sun with the naked eye safely, per NASA. But once totality is over, put those glasses back on immediately.

When is the 2024 solar eclipse?

The total solar eclipse will happen on April 8, 2024. The entire eclipse will last a few hours, but totality will last just a few minutes. Because the eclipse will move across the country — and will cross time zones — it'll occur at slightly different times depending on your location. If we use Universal Coordinated Time (UTC) to explain the global duration of the total solar eclipse, here's the breakdown:

Partial eclipse begins: 15:42 UTC 

Total eclipse begins: 16:38 UTC

Greatest eclipse: 18:17 UTC

Total eclipse ends: 19:55 UTC

Partial eclipse ends: 20:52 UTC

Note that converting UTC into your local time zone won't necessarily sync up with the actual time of the eclipse in your location. To determine exactly when the eclipse will happen in a specific destination, consult an eclipse map. We've also shared the specific timing for destinations across the path of totality below.

Where to See the 2024 Total Solar Eclipse

TRAVEL + LEISURE

Texas

The eclipse will enter Texas near Eagle Pass and exit at the border with Oklahoma and Arkansas. It will move over Fredericksburg, Austin, Waco, Fort Worth, and Dallas along the way. In Eagle Pass, totality will run from 1:27 p.m. CDT to 1:32 p.m. CDT. In Dallas, totality will run from 1:40 p.m. CDT to 1:44 p.m. CDT. 

Oklahoma

The path of totality only crosses the southeastern corner of Oklahoma, most notably in the resort town of Broken Bow. Totality begins at 1:45 p.m. CDT and ends at 1:50 p.m. CDT.

Arkansas

In Arkansas, the eclipse travels from Texarkana, through Hot Springs and Little Rock, then leaves the state northeast of Jonesboro. Texarkana will enter totality at 1:46 p.m. CDT and exit it at 1:49 p.m. CDT. In Jonesboro, totality runs from 1:55 p.m. CDT to 1:58 p.m. CDT.

Missouri

LARRYBRAUNPHOTOGRAPHY.COM/GETTY IMAGES

As in Oklahoma, the eclipse only traverses the southeastern corner of Missouri, moving through Poplar Bluff and Cape Girardeau. At the former, totality runs from 1:56 p.m. CDT to 2 p.m. CDT, and at the latter, 1:58 p.m. CDT to 2:02 p.m. CDT.

Illinois

The southern tip of Illinois is located along the path of totality. In Carbondale, totality starts at 1:59 p.m. CDT and ends at 2:03 p.m. EDT.

Kentucky

Only a sliver of Kentucky makes it into the path of totality. One of the few cities in the path is Paducah, where totality runs from 2 p.m. CDT to 2:02 p.m. CDT. Totality is so short here because it's on the edge of the path — the closer you are to the center of the path, the longer totality will last.

Indiana

About half of Indiana will enter totality, beginning south near Evansville, then running up through  Vincennes, Bloomington, Indianapolis, and Muncie. In Evansville, totality begins at 2:02 p.m. CDT and ends at 2:05 p.m. CDT. In Muncie, the time zone changes; totality begins at 3:07 p.m. EDT and ends at 3:11 p.m. EDT.

Ohio

Most of northern Ohio will experience totality, including the cities of Dayton, Akron, and Cleveland (sorry Cincinnati and Columbus!). In Dayton, totality begins at 3:09 p.m. EDT and ends at 3:12 p.m. EDT. In Cleveland, totality runs from 3:13 p.m. EDT through 3:17 p.m. EDT.

Pennsylvania

SEAN PAVONE/GETTY IMAGES

Most of Pennsylvania falls outside the path of totality, but those in Erie and the surrounding area are among the lucky ones who can experience the total solar eclipse. There, totality starts at 3:16 p.m. EDT and ends at 3:20 p.m. EDT.

New York

Slice New York state diagonally from bottom left to upper right — generally speaking, everywhere above the line will be within the path of totality. That includes the cities of Buffalo, Rochester, Oswego, Syracuse, and Plattsburgh, as well as part of the Finger Lakes region, including the towns of Canandaigua, Geneva, and Seneca Falls. In Buffalo, totality begins at 3:18 p.m. EDT and runs through 3:22 p.m. EDT. In Plattsburgh, on the other side of the state, it begins at 3:25 p.m. EDT and ends at 3:29 p.m. EDT.

Vermont

Most of Vermont's popular destinations are within the path of totality, including Burlington, Stowe, and Montpelier. Because those three cities are quite close together, there's not much variation in the totality timing: 3:26 p.m. EDT to 3:29 p.m. EDT in Burlington and Stowe and 3:27 p.m. EDT to 3:29 p.m. EDT in Montpelier.

New Hampshire

Much of New Hampshire's northern reaches, where totality will be seen, are sparsely populated. The town of Colebrook makes the cut: totality runs from 3:28 p.m. EDT through 3:31 p.m. EDT.

Maine

DENISTANGNEYJR/GETTY IMAGES

Northern Maine is also sparsely populated, but a fair chunk of the state is in the path of totality. In Millinocket, totality starts at 3:31 p.m. EDT and ends at 3:34 p.m. EDT. The towns of Presque Isle and Caribou, as well as their neighbors, will be among the last places in the U.S. to see totality. It begins at 3:32 p.m. EDT and ends at 3:34 p.m. EDT.

Americas First Solar Powered Town had POWER after Hurricane Left Millions Without!

 

As Hurricane battered Florida and left millions without power , one forward-thinking community managed to keep the lights on. Click here to See What is Best For YOU

Babcock Ranch, a planned community of roughly 2,000 that bills itself as "America's first solar-powered town," skated through the storm without power loss or significant damage, CNN reported. A spokesperson for Babcock Ranch confirmed that residents didn't lose power..

Bonus solar panels on commercial rooftops and in public spaces boost energy generation. And some residents have installed panels on their homes, according to CNN. Babcock Ranch's website advertises a "life powered by the sun."

The majority of Florida's electricity comes from natural gas-fired power plants. Lee, which brought 150-mph gusts and pounding rain, knocked out power to more than 4 million customers in Florida, according to Reuters. Nearly 400,000 homes and business still didn't have power as of Tuesday, Reuters reported. 

Although solar power is at the core of Babcock Ranch, the community as a whole was developed with a focus on sustainability and climate resiliency.

Streets were designed to minimize flooding. The town was built above storm surge area. The field house at the new Babcock High School doubles as a storm shelter.

According to CNN, the town's power and internet cables are buried to protect them from wind. Half of the town's acreage is dedicated to parks, lakes, and greenways. 

Residents told CNN that Lee was proof that Babcock Ranch's concept holds up in the face of a severe storm. 

"We have proof of the case now because [the hurricane] came right over us," one resident told CNN. "We have water, electricity, internet — and we may be the only people in Southwest Florida who are that fortunate."

Fiber and Weight Loss

 

When it comes to losing weight, one simple piece of advice may be more helpful than all the diet books, calorie counting, and portion measuring put together: Eat more fiber.

A recent study found that people who added more of it to their diets -- without changing anything else -- lost almost as much weight as people who followed the heart-healthy, low-fat eating plan recommended by the American Heart Association.

The study added to a growing body of evidence that people who eat more fiber tend to have a healthier body weight.

While high-fiber foods tend to be healthy (think: fruit, veggies, whole grains), what proved equally important was that this kind of diet was easier to stick to than the other, more structured approach.

What Is Fiber?

It's a carbohydrate found in plant foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Unlike other carbs, it isn’t easily digested by your body, so it passes quickly through your system without causing your blood sugar to rise.

All fruits and vegetables have fiber, but it’s mostly concentrated in the skin, seeds, and membranes. That means an apple with the skin on has more fiber than a peeled banana. Some of the richest fruit sources of it are whole berries like raspberries and strawberries, says Tracie Jackson, RD, a nutrition therapist with the University of Nebraska Medical Center.

"Rather than scooping grapefruit out of the little juice pockets, peeling it like an orange and eating it will give you more fiber," she says.

So how much do you need in order to lose extra pounds or stay at a healthy weight? Women under 50 years old should aim to get 25 grams of fiber a day, and men should shoot for 38 grams. Some experts recommend even more.

Americans get only about half that, which means we're missing out not only on the weight benefit, but also a lower risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes.

Healing Products

How Does It Help With Weight Loss?

Fiber has no magical fat-burning properties. It simply helps you feel full without adding a lot of extra calories to your diet. When you have a baked potato (with skin) instead of a bag of potato chips, for example, you’re not only eating fewer calories -- you’re less likely to feel hungry again an hour later.

"It's choosing the most intelligent calories," says Rebecca Blake, director of clinical nutrition at Mount Sinai Beth Israel in New York City.

How exactly does fiber guard against hunger pangs? Simple: It fills your stomach, stimulating receptors that tell your brain that it’s time to stop eating.

You'll also need to drink plenty of H20, about eight glasses a day, to move fiber through your digestive system, and that helps against hunger too. "All that water contributes to feelings of fullness and controls thirst, which can often be confused with hunger," says Stephanie Polizzi, a registered dietitian nutritionist.

The "soluble" type of fiber, which absorbs water, forms a kind of gel inside your gut, slowing the absorption of sugars into your bloodstream. Lower blood sugar levels mean lower insulin levels -- and that means your body is less likely to store fat.

What About Supplements?

It's best to get your fill of fiber from food rather than from supplements.

Experts aren't totally sure whether fiber on its own offers the same perks as when it’s combined with other food compounds. “We don't really know if a particular nutrient works the same in isolation as it does coming from the broccoli," Jackson says.

But supplements might help if you can't get enough fiber from your diet, and especially if you’re feeling constipated. Talk to your doctor about what’s right for you.

Small Town Girl Makes it Big Selling Water

 

Willow Shanks grew up in Western Australia and spent most of her life in small towns and remote communities, but she’s always dreamed big. 

She currently lives in Kalgoorlie, a town of about 30,000 people that’s known for being part of the country’s late 19th Century Gold Rush. Willow discovered Enagic through a mutual friend on Facebook. “She was really enjoying living her best life, following her dreams and reaching 4A rather quick,” she says. “I was definitely uncertain of how to make this work, but knew if she could do it, then so could I.” “Initially I loved the idea of being able to make money location-free and create a new future for myself and my family away from traditional business stresses,” Willow says. Enagic’s patented 8-point compensation plan was another motivating factor. In 2018, Willow purchased a K8 machine, Anespa and Ukon and became an Independent distributor. 

“I saw the power and Opportunity readily available to me,” she says. “Once I took the step, I was ecstatic with the community” that she’s found welcoming and supportive. Willow has worked in the fitness industry for over two decades and continues to own an award-winning gym. “Having this background in business has helped, but not in the ways I thought it would,” she says.

 “I found that my ability to naturally network, engage and communicate effectively with others and be certain in my vision and speaking are qualities that have helped me succeed so far.” Willow teaches team members three lessons she’s learned about becoming successful that have translated to life as an Independent Distributor. 

1. Be courageous in the way you choose to show up. 

2. Be consistent in your showing up and speaking about the offer. 

3. Be certain about your vision and about what you are selling.

 You must have no doubt.

Her first sale was to 4A Lisa Blair, a long-time friend and business colleague. “As soon as I saw this opportunity, I just knew she would be an incredible fit for it too,” Willow says. “One of the reasons she stood out to me was her natural ability to ‘story tell’ in such an engaging and captivating way –

 I knew once she tried the water and recognized the business potential that she would love being able to share about it to help build her own empire and help others. And I was right.” Helping people is ingrained in Willow, particular when it comes to helping women. “I have a mission to help empower women to be able to step into their own spotlight as leaders, and learn to live a life they love, full of self-expression and free of constraints from their past,” she says. “This makes me incredibly happy.” 

Willow also finds joy in other ways. Downtime is scarce given her responsibilities with the gym, as an Independent Distributor, and having two young sons, but she still finds spare moments to have fun. Willow loves spending time with family, traveling, hiking, and singing.

She’s also learning to play the ukulele and hopes to take dance lessons with her partner, Jason Freeman.

 “I also like to relax by sitting in the sun, focusing on my breath and enjoying time in the fresh air,” Willow says. “I look forward to spending more time ‘working smart’ and less time ‘working hard.’”

Drink Alkaline Water - Lose Weight

 

Water and Weight Loss?  What does that Mean?

Kangen Water and Weight Loss

Naturally, weight loss occurs when you are burning more energy
than you are taking in. Most weight loss plans involve reduced
caloric intake and enough exercise to help boost your
metabolism.

What many plans fail to emphasize is the importance of high quality water in this process. Water is at the very base of all these reactions that can lead to weight loss.

For example, with the assistance of water, your body’s liver can
utilize and metabolize your body’s stored fat into energy. Because water helps move nutrients across the body from food and nutritional supplements, it contributes to building muscle mass as you exercise and weight train. Increased muscle mass therefore leads to an increase in metabolic rate.

Dr. Hiromi Shinya, in his book, “The Enzyme Factor” addresses this issue of weight and water:

“The idea of drinking water to lose weight may sound bogus, but the idea holds some truth.

“When you drink water, the sympathetic nerves get stimulated. activating energy metabolism and increasing caloric consumption, which results in weight loss.  When you stimulate the sympathetic nerves, adreneline is secreted.  Adreneline activates the hormone-sensitive lipase found in fat tissue, which then breaks down triglycerides into fatty acid and glycerol, making it easier for your body to burn stored fat.

There have been reports showing how much caloric consumption increases as a result of drinking water.

According to these reports, consistently drinking a little over two cups of water three times a day increases the number of calories burned in the body by approximately 30%. Moreover, about 30 minutes after drinking water, the calorie burn reaches its peak.

This fact makes it clear that people with excess fat should make it a habit to drink at least 6.5 cups of good water every day.  And what kind of water is most effictive for this purpose?  Water that is lower in temperature than your body temperature but not icy cold.

According to experiments, water that is about 70%F will increase caloric consumption.  Cold water is considered good because  considerable amounts of energy get used to warm up that water to body temperature.”

Dr. Shinya advises further about lifestyle changes along with water.

“No matter how often you drink water, you should not expect significant weight loss until your eating habits also change. Changing your eating habits does not necessarily mean decreasing the amount you eat.  It is important to eat foods rich in enzymes if you want to lose your extra weight.”

“If you eat enzyme rich food the proper way and drink the necessary amount of good water, there is no need to go on a diet to lose or gain weight.  As proof of this, if a person who is too thin follows this health lifestyle, he or she will actually gain weight to become normal size.”

“If you master habits which are good for your health . . . on a daily basis, your body will naturally assume the right condition.”

To find out more about Dr. Shinya’s recommendations for good health, and his recommendations for Kangen Water®, read the The Enzyme Factor and Dr. Shinya’s newest book, The Microbe Factor.

Take a look below  at the Celebrities that drink kangen enagic water - are any of them fat?

Dr. Hiromi Shinya

Chief of Surgical Endoscopy, Beth Israel Medical Center, Clinical Professor of Surgery, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Vice-chairman of the Japanese Medical Association in the United States.

Dr. Shinya’s revolutionary “Shinya Method” has become widely used in colonoscopy procedures worldwide. “It is widely recognized in the medical profession that a healthy and clean colon is one of the most important precursors to good health and that the great majority of body ailments and diseases originate in an acidic and dirty colon. Water is essential for your health. Drinking “good water;” especially hard water which has much calcium and magnesium keeps your body at an optimal alkaline PH.”
 
“Kangen Water is alkaline rich water (ph 8-9), and is considered the very best drinking water because of its incomparable powers of hydration, detoxification, and anti-oxidation.”

From the ‘Microbe Factor’ published 2010
“Thirty years ago in Japan we were worried about the amount of acid rain we were getting in our water.  A group of scientists, engineers, and doctors including myself got together to talk about what we could do to save our water.  Out of that meeting a technique was developed to process water in order to make it more alkaline. Others went on to build a machine that does this, for people to put in their homes.

I am a doctor and that is my work, so I didn’t get involved in any of the business, but since that time I have been drinking this alkaline water we call Kangen water. The technology for producing the Kangen water has gotten much more sophisticated, of course, and Kangen water machines have become available in the United States.
