I hope I wasn't thatpsychotic with her,\" the actressquipped. \"I loved that part of [thestory], too, and I think it kind ofdovetails with the menopausestuff, too. Some women findthemselves, like Mel, without ajob, children leaving the nest, andthen it's sort of like: 'Who am Inow? What is my purpose?' And,also, 'I'm invisible.' And, so, that'svery powerful stuff for me.\"Mel also has a close relationshipwith Coop's sister Ali (LenaHall), a talented musician with anenormous heart, who struggleswith mental illness.\"I love her. She's such a genius,\"Peet said of Hall, whom sheshares a memorable story-linewith in Season 2.\"She's so talented and fun and shehas such a wonderful sense ofhumor, and we get on like a houseon fire,\" Peet added. \"So, we wereso excited when we read that wewere going to go on this kind ofheist together.\"By Karen ButlerEunice Bae and Amanda Peet in the AppleTV series “Your Friends and Neighbors”FYI: Amanda PeetBornJanuary 11, 1972 (age 54)New York City, NYAlthough born and raised initially inNew York City, Peet moved with herfamily to London for four yearsbeginning when she was seven.

Thestate report also noted that in oneshipment of 10 sloths wild-caughtsloths, two arrived deceased, andthe other eight appeared to be inpoor health and later died as well.Agresta said in a statement thatallegations the animals werepoorly treated are \"false andinaccurate,\" claiming instead thatthe company \"lost sloths that had avirus with showed barely anysymptoms and was undetectableeven after necropsy.\"Men keep 5balloons in theair to breakrecordSerialGuinnessWorldRecordbreakerDavidRush teamedup with a novice recordbreaker to take on the titlefor the longest duration tokeep five balloons in the air.Rush, who holds more than350 concurrent GuinnessWorld Records titles,teamed up with AlexGosch, who had neverattempted a worldrecord before.

www.hap2it.com April 30, 2026 HAPPENINGS Page 11Forgive me if this column readslike I nodded off while writing it.For I am only trying to prove apoint. To be honest, I took a powernapping break mid-sentence.For me napping, specificallyPOWER napping, has never beendifficult. I don’t even need to liedown to achieve slumber. I’verested my chin on my chest incrowded subway cars, in middleseats on airplanes, during kids’sporting events and with my feeton my desk while my computermonitor also goes into sleep mode.Note: The latter is frowned upon ifyou are not self employed.I drift off for between five to sevenminutes — yes, you read that right— and awake feeling refreshedand ready for whatever theremaining day holds. I don’t feelcompletely asleep. Never have Imissed the “We are ready to beginboarding” announcement ifnapping at an airport gate — butI’m blissfully unaware of thechaos surrounding me.For me, naps counteract chaos,which is why I feel a siesta, asnooze, some shut-eye, orwhatever you choose to call it,needs to become part of thiscountry’s culture before we gofurther off the rails.From Barcelona toVietnam: A Global Tour of Power NappingIt’s been widely reported that thesiesta is declining in Spain, thecountry that most embraced it untilrecently. True, I didn’t see a lot ofclosed businesses while strollingin Barcelona last year, but chalkthat up to the city’s boomingtourism trade. It’s hard to lockyour shop when there areconstantly hordes of visitorsoutside, eager to buy leathergoods, ceramics and any cookingingredient they think will maketheir paella actually taste likepaella.Other countries I recently visitedaren’t letting go of sleep thateasily. In Can Tho, Vietnam, Iwalked into a small grocery,desperate for a soda, a bottle ofwater or anything to curtail midafternoon humidity. The store wasdivided into two sections,separated by a half wall. Uponentering I saw no employees. Itwas as if the store owner said,“Take what you want.”I’m too honest to even considercommitting such an infraction, so Iventured to the store’s other half,cold water bottle in one hand andmoney in the other. Sandwichedbetween the store’s merchandisewas a small table. On it rested anolder woman, curled into a fetalposition. No mattress, blanket orpillow. Just her.Sensing my presence she boundedto her feet and collected mymoney. She spoke no English butshe also lacked the surliness thatoften accompanies someone whois startled awake. Instead, shethanked me via a smile and a bow.A month later, after a morningspent walking through BuenosAires, Argentina, I yearned for anafternoon caffeine fix. Walkingdown tree-lined streets, I passedthree coffee shops, all shutteredbut clearly not out of business. Ispied a vacant plastic chair outsidethe last shop. Rather than continuemy search, I sat on the chair,assumed my power nappingposition and power napped. Icould sense both cars andpedestrians passing me, butnobody asked for money, orattempted to take my backpack.Furthermore, n one exhibited thebehavior that usually prevents mefrom power napping on a street inChicago. my current homeCEOs and Politicians…Go to Sleep NowSo, America, can we at least give ita try? Politicians, let’s start withyou. We’ve all seen photos ofPresident Trump dozing inCabinet meetings, even while hissubordinates wax poetically abouthis leadership abilities. Congress,follow his lead. Lock your officedoors, put your feet on your oak orwalnut desks and promise toresume discussions on TSAfunding and Strait of Hormuzownership “in a few hours.” CEOs, even if you havereinstituted a “return to the office”policy, make napping a part ofevery workday. Trust me, it will bea bigger hit than “BreakroomDonut Day.”I have other ideas, but they willhave to wait.

Page 12 HAPPENINGS April 30, 2026 www.hap2it.comIceland is a pioneer of “stopovertourism.” Floating alone where theNorth Atlantic and Arctic oceansmeet, this island nation was longconsidered too out-of-the-way fortravelers ... until airlines likeIcelandair started luringAmericans with cheap flights toEurope that included a stopover inIceland. The caveat: Your stopoverwas a full day.This offer is still popular today,with multiple airlines allowing a24-hour (or longer) stopover forno additional airfare: All you needis a passport, a rental car, and anextra day or two. But with itsstriking glaciers, craggy peaks,and steamy geysers, Iceland canfill up an entire vacation – so thechallenge for the casual visitor isfiguring out what to cram into ashort stay. If you thrill to the ideaof an Iceland stopover, considerthis whirlwind itinerary.Planning: Try to do this in thesummer, when roads are clear anddaylight is virtually endless. Fromearly June to mid-July, it neverreally gets dark, letting you extendyour daylight sightseeing day asfar as your energy level will takeyou. It’s also best to rent a car.Even though it’s only a day,having your own wheels will helpyou get the most out of yourIceland time. And while youshould prepare to bundle up – cooltemperatures and bone-chillingwind can happen at any time ofyear – also bring a swimsuit forvisiting a thermal bath, andsunglasses for driving with the sunlow in the sky.Morning: Most US flights toIceland land in the wee hours ofmorning at Keflavík InternationalAirport. Conveniently, the famousBlue Lagoon thermal-bath spa isjust 15 minutes away – and in thesummer it opens nice and early. Bythe time you deplane, clearcustoms, and pick up a rental car,you can head straight there for arelaxing outdoor soak in milkyblue geothermal waters. But youcan’t just show up and hope to slipin – reservations are required. Tohave your choice of time slots,book ahead.Midday: Refreshed from yoursoak, drive 45 minutes intoReykjavík and browse the town.I’d walk down to the harborfrontfor a photo op at the popular SunVoyager sculpture (shaped like anold Viking boat), then follow theshoreline past the cutting-edgeHarpa concert hall and mooredboats to the Old Harbor, whereyou can browse lunch options atthe seafood restaurants on thepiers.Afternoon: Set out from Reykjavíkto the Golden Circle route forsome serious sightseeing. Thisexcursion offers a rewarding ratioof natural wonders per milesdriven. Without stops, the entirecircuit requires about four hours ofdriving – but a long Icelandic daywill let you wring the maximumout of your visit.The essential trio of stops alongthe way includes ÞingvellirNational Park, situated in anextraordinary gorge caused by theslow separation of the Eurasianand North American tectonicplates; Geysir, a bubbling,steaming geothermal field withIceland’s most active geyser,called “Strokkur”; and Gullfoss,one of the country’s mostimpressive waterfalls. Since thesemajor Golden Circle sightstechnically never “close,” you cango at your own pace withouteyeing the clock.Dinner: Grab a bite to eat inGolden Circle country (limitedoptions); hold out for your returnto Reykjavík (where restaurantskeep long hours and you’ll findplenty of spots still serving food aslate as 10 PM); or plan ahead andpicnic at one of the Golden Circlesights. Food and drink areexpensive in Iceland, but you canmake the most of your money –and your sightseeing time – bygrabbing grub at a grocery storeand dining geyser-side.Late: Collapse at your hotel andsleep for a few hours – or pull anIcelandic all-nighter (which isrelatively easy, as never really getsdark). Then drop your car at theairport and fly out the nextmorning.For a Longer Layover: With 48hours, do the one-day plan at amore relaxed pace or keep up thetempo and add a visit to thedramatic South Coast, which sitsin the shadow of two glaciertopped volcanoes. Withremarkable waterfalls(Seljalandsfoss), black-sandbeaches (Reynisfjara), and hikableglaciers (Sólheimajökull), theSouth Coast is a close runner-up tothe Golden Circle as a top day trip.Plan on a 2.5-hour drive each way(without stops), or considerjoining a bus excursion fromReykjavík.With its stunning natural wonders,kind and gregarious people, andunique attractions, this little islandstubbornly exceeds the loftyexpectations of its many visitors.Whether or not you can pronouncethe names on its map, Iceland is arewarding place to travel – even ifyou’re just stopping over.By Rick StevesStopping overin IcelandAn industry group that representsbudget airlines has reached out tothe Department of Transportationabout creating a $2.5 billion poolto help keep them in business asthe price of jet fuel remains high.The Association of Value Airlines-- which represents Allegiant Air,Avelo Air, Frontier Airlines, SpiritAirlines and Sun Country -- saidMonday that it has approached theTrump administration about thepool because an 88% increase inthe cost of jet fuel is endangeringtheir ability to do business, TheWall Street Journal and The NewYork Times reported.Spirit Airlines itself has beennegotiating a possible $500million bailout from the federalgovernment after warning that it isrunning out of cash that is separatefrom the AVA request.Airlines worldwide started raisingfees in March after the UnitedStates and Israel started the war inIran, which led the country toblockade the Strait of Hormuz inresponse and has caused the priceof gas and oil to increasesignificantly.Fuel expenses account for about30% of airline operating costs andeven a sustained $1 increase in perbarrel of oil can increase thosecosts by millions of dollars.?President Donald Trumpacknowledged last week thatSpirit has been in conversationwith his administration for abailout as it has struggled to exitits second bankruptcy filing in ayear.Trump said that the discussionsare ongoing, but that he would liketo help keep Spirit in businessbecause competition is good forconsumers and he is concernedabout job losses should it go out ofbusiness.Group of budget airlines seeksgovernment relief fundtravel Iceland's Golden Circle hosts a plethora of natural wonders — like Þingvellir National Park.Travel_9x.qxp_TRAVEL KEN 4/28/26 3:14 PM Page 1

In otherwords, performing the leastamount of movement needed toproduce benefits.Basically, the idea is to engage inshort bursts of activity,euphemistically called \"exercisesnacks,\" such as short brisk walks,climbing stairs, doing pushups,jumping jacks or anything else thatat least briefly engages largemuscle groups and elevates heartrate.Volpe said there is a cumulativebenefit of lots of exercise snacks,and over time, people find they canexercise longer and better, whichof course was what they weretrying to avoid in the first place.Body of KnowledgeThe average human sheds about600,000 particles of skin per hour,or 1.5 pounds (roughly the weightof an iPad) a year; that's roughly105 pounds of skin by the timethey are 70 years old. Thistranslates to an entirely new outerlayer of skin cells every 27 days,almost 1,000 new skins in anaverage lifetime.Doc TalkAgonal: A word used to describe amajor negative change in apatient's condition, usuallypreceding immediate death, suchas a complete cessation ofbreathing or a dire change in thepatient's vital signsLife in Big MacsOne hour of reading a book burns88 calories (based on a 150-poundperson) or the equivalent of 0.1Big Macs.

Pasteurization wasinitially used by brewers. Byheating the finished beer to above160 F to kill harmful bacteria, agerm-free beer that did not requireconstant refrigeration for lengthyshipment or storage could beproduced.At the time, Pasteur was primarilyinterested in stemming wine andbeer spoilage, but in time,pasteurization would be used formilk and other products.Med School AnswersAnswers: 1.

A veteran ofthe comedy scene with multiplespecials to his name, Ferrara knowshow to work a room—blendingpersonal stories, observationalhumor, and just the right amount ofself-deprecation into a set that’s asrelatable as it is hilarious.But chances are you already knowhim—maybe not from the stage, butfrom the screen.

It’syour voice, your perspective, andyou’re responsible for the wholething.Q. Which is more creativelyfulfilling?A. Both, in different ways. Acting iscollaborative and social, whilestand-up can be more isolating—traveling alone, going from quiet toa live audience and back again.Q. Has your acting influenced yourcomedy?A. Definitely. It helps me heardifferent voices. I’ll play multipleperspectives in a bit, almost likemini scenes, which adds depth tothe material.Q. How has the comedy worldchanged?A. Social media has changedeverything. You have to build andbring your own audience now—it’spart of the job.Q. Where do you draw the line withpersonal material?A. If it’s funny and not hurtinganyone, I’ll do it. That’s thebalance.Q.What’s your writing process like?A.

www.hap2it.com April 30, 2026 HAPPENINGS Page 29April 30 , 2026through May 6 , 2026ARIES (March 21-April 19): A below-zero week is kicking off in Universal stars, it’s a week to keep risks low and patience high. There could be more discouragement about finances than is warranted, avoid decisions or changes now.TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Loving yourself when you’re victorious isn’t a flex, that’s easy. Love yourself when you’re tired, cranky, off-balance, scared, ashamed, ugly. That’s inner unconditional love. It’s worth cultivating — makes you hard to upend.GEMINI (May 21-June 20): There’s a little more of a dark cloud hanging over you now than just low-scoring Universal days, it could be hard to feel uplifted for another day or two. Not your fault, but don’t let pessimism drive decisions or actions.CANCER (June 21-July 22): Help out a friend who might need a lifeline now or ask for help if you need it. A heartfelt message could be dismissed or dissed or otherwise flipped back on you. Wait for better stars to discuss.LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Make no career or other big decisions while under the current negative influences. While your mindset could improve within a couple of days, poor Universal stars will continue to make big decisions unwise for a while.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Be proactive in protecting yourself in ways that can make a difference, put down any of weight of the world you’re carrying if there’s nothing you can do. Find pockets of coherence and joy as you can.LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): If you can’t change it, don’t give it your attention or energy. Financial matters could look better soon but wait to make any significant decisions or changes. Inner work always is the hidden driver of outer progress.SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Let sleeping relationships lie for a few days, poking at anything isn’t likely to bring positive results for a while at least. A friend could offer a warm connection that’s less weighted than with a romantic partner.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Pushing the boulder up the hill could feel harder for a couple more days but help or an increase of available energy should come soon, and rewards for your efforts should be in place.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t be quick to write off the good parts of life even if you can’t see them right now. This dark night of the joyous, creative self won’t last. You might even find a way to monetize your gifts.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Solutions appear when the time is right and the stars are favorable. If there’s no solution, it’s not this, or not now. Your home world is moving toward improvement, be patient.PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Sometimes sharing your distress brings empathy, sometimes no one has the bandwidth to take on extra concerns. Consider if you really need to speak now, waiting could bring a significantly better outcome.ACROSS1 “One-Punch Man” genre6 Diving acronym11 Pampering retreat14 Wheel of Fortune setting15 Goes the distance16 Isn’t missing17 Remark from a revolutionary?19 PC “oops” key20 Serengeti pack animal21 “I feel seen!”22 Calligraphy array25 Feature of a broken remote?29 Karate belt level30 Alternative to seed31 Didn’t strike out, say32 Scare off34 Wales who co-founded Wikipedia35 One gold doubloon?40 Book that may hold personal records41 Move furtively43 Home of the world’s busiest airport46 “__ of course”48 Brew in a 42-Down49 Asset in bartending school?51 Remnant52 Cold, hard cash53 Overwhelmingly55 Greedy figure56 Nitwits from the past?62 39-Down alum63 Many a seventh grader64 Match, in grammar65 Some ER figures66 Metallic sound67 Pointless, or a phonetic hint to five of this puzzle’s long answersDOWN1 Parent company of Cricket Wireless2 “Pass”3 403(b) alternative4 Some lepidopterans5 “Keep Commerce Human” company6 Surreptitious assent7 Crème de __8 Service gp.9 Window unit meas.10 Egyptian snake11 Form-fitting dress12 Dijon denial13 Way up18 Office posting21 Decide not to retire22 Licenses, e.g.23 County east of Sonoma24 Tangled clump26 Cry at the end of the week27 Get no laughs, say28 Maximal30 Activity where newcomers practice “pizza” and “french fries”33 “Phooey”34 Elation36 “Great” detective of kid-lit37 Nickname for Mom’s mom38 Salty drop39 New Haven school42 See 48-Across43 Tough HS science class44 Past a certain cutoff45 “__ Mansion”: Nintendo series46 Believing, so to speak47 Sports org. revived in 2022 after a 37-year hiatus50 Playwright Henrik51 Jason Momoa’s “Game of Thrones” role54 Sign-off from an admirer56 Org. concerned with price-fixing57 Rice University athlete58 __ salt59 Tulsa sch.60 French article61 Catchhoroscopein the stars Wanna give a Happy Birthday to Gayle!
