Wealthy travelers will be able to watch Monday's solar eclipse in the lap of luxury, far away from the droves of tourists planning road trips or camping outings to catch a glimpse of the eclipse, Axios' Jacob Knutson reports.

  • 🍷 For a little over $5,000, Smithsonian Journeys will take you on a five-day eclipse trip to the Texas Hill Country, including a winery tour, a sunset cruise, guided nature tours and a private viewing party.
  • πŸ₯Ύ Adventure travel company TravelQuest International organized a 12-day, $7,000-plus eclipse tour across northern Mexico.
  • πŸ›³️ Those who paid at least $1,400 for a 22-day Holland America cruise will see the eclipse off the coast of Mexico before landing in Hawaii.

Zoom in: Texas, which appears to be this year's prime eclipse destination, could see a $1.4 billion spending boom from the eclipse.

  • Vermont is expecting to see between $12.9 million and $51.8 million in eclipse-related spending, and Oklahoma may pull in over $20 million.

πŸ”­ Whatever your vantage point, this will be the last total solar eclipse viewable from the contiguous U.S. until 2044.

2. Quake shakes East Coast
Data: USGS; Map: Will Chase/Axios

An estimated 42 million people, in several states across the East Coast, felt today's 4.8-magnitude earthquake, even hundreds of miles away from the epicenter near Lebanon, N.J.

  • An earthquake of the same magnitude on the West Coast probably wouldn't have been felt so far away, experts say. That's partly because the rock in the eastern U.S. is much older than rock in the West.
  • Earthquakes are much less common on the East Coast.

The latest: New Yorkers were "a little freaked out" by the surprise this morning, but the quake caused little damage and life is largely back to normal.

Bronny James, the son of NBA legend LeBron James, is entering both the NBA draft and the NCAA transfer portal.

  • The move allows him to explore his NBA prospects while keeping open the option of playing another year in college.
  • James suffered a cardiac arrest last summer, which significantly hurt his ability to play during his freshman season at USC.

LeBron James has said he wants to play on the same team as Bronny before he retires.

Demystifying Medicine — Mental Health: Mechanisms and Crisis

April 9, 2024, 4:00 p.m. ET

The next "Demystifying Medicine" will include complementary lectures on mental health and its intersection with alcohol use disorder. The speakers are former National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) Director Thomas Insel, M.D., and current National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) Director George F. Koob, Ph.D.

The lectures, open to the public, will be on April 9, 2024, from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. ET online-only via https://videocast.nih.gov/watch=54041.

Dr. Insel, a psychiatrist and neuroscientist, is a national leader in mental health research, policy, and technology. He served as director of NIMH from 2002 to 2015. Upon leaving the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Insel co-founded Mindstrong Health, a start-up assisting people with serious mental illness; served as a special advisor to California Governor Gavin Newsom; co-founded Humanest Care, a therapeutic online community for recovery; and in 2022, joined Vanna Health as a co-founder and executive chair.

Dr. Koob, an internationally recognized expert on alcohol and stress and the neurobiology of alcohol and drug addiction, has served as director of NIAAA since 2014. His NIH research, conducted in the National Institute on Drug Abuse intramural research program, explores the neurobiological bases for altered motivational states associated with substance addiction at the neurocircuitry, cellular, and molecular level; and he uses these studies as a heuristic approach for the study of emotions.

For this Demystifying Medicine, Insel and Koob will discuss concepts such as "serious mental illness" — for example, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and severe mood and anxiety disorders — and "hyperkatifeia," a hyper-sensitivity to emotional distress that may lead to substance abuse or relapse of substance use.

This promises to be yet another exciting Demystifying Medicine pairing of scientific expertise. Add this April 9 lecture to your calendar now!

Continuing Medical Education (CME) credit is available for these lectures. A unique CME code will be provided at the start of each session.

Ever wonder what it would feel like to have invested just $10,000 in Alibaba at its inception, only to watch in awe as it balloons to a colossal $542 billion?

Insiders hold the keys to the kingdom, with access to confidential, critical information about their companies, such as upcoming FDA approvals, merger and acquisition plans, or drug trial results.

These individuals aren't just trading whizzes; they're insiders – the CEOs, CFOs, and board members who exploit privileged, non-public company information to enrich themselves.

I am referring to leveraging the trust and insight of individuals at the very core of these companies.

Insiders can navigate us through the tumult of the market with clarity, all facilitated by a little-known caveat in SEC rule 10b5-1, making this strategy entirely legal.

I've recently polished off an exclusive report on an emerging AI company that I believe is on the brink of a 10X breakthrough!
