It's Halloween, a great time to be scared, right? But for many of us fears aren't fun and games. You might think it's best to stay away from the things that scare you the most. But one expert says doing the opposite may help you more.How about if you're afraid of germs?"You could touch the inside of the toilet and you can rub that on your face," says Psychologist Dr. David Shanley.It sounds gross, and if you're afraid of germs the thought is downright terrifying.But Shanley, who helps people fight their phobias, says facing your fears head on could be the key to getting over them. The first step is to asses exactly what they're fearing and what they're doing to avoid it. Then determine how much exposure to that fear a client can take. For example, a fear of dogs.  "If they take their fear head on and go to the dog park straight out then they're going to save themselves a lot of time of working up step-by-step," Shanley says.  Not everyone can go that far that fast. But Shanley says there has to be some level of exposure to make progress. Not just to fears on the outside, but on the inside.  "Part of the exposure is actually flooding them to those scariest thoughts," Dr. Shanley says.  If a person were afraid of elevators or tight spaces, overcoming the fear is about more than riding from floor to floor.  "You more want them actually thinking all the worst case scenarios so that they know that the next time they need to get into the elevator they can do it whether they are having happy thoughts or negative thoughts," Shanley says.  And when facing a fear of heights, the same principles apply.  "I would ask the person to, all right can you climb up here?" Shanley says. "And then as they are climbing up I would also be telling them, all right now look down and think about wow that's a long ways down and what if I fell?"  Dr. Shanley says these are all things you can try on your own, and repetition is key."Without it their success rate of the treatment is a lot less," Shanley says.  And don't be shy. Shanley says if you don't face your deepest, darkest fear, it could come back. Something to keep in perspective when things get a little dirty."I don't have to like it. They don't have to enjoy this process but we want it to illicit this fear," Shanley says.You can find out more about Dr. David Shanley here. 2444

In many rural communities, entire cities often rely on one business to support the economy, and when those businesses leave, it leaves the community devastated.For the town of Luke, Maryland, its paper mill went out of business last summer, and the deep financial impact is being felt by families and businesses throughout the region.¡°I could hear that mill day and night, sitting right here. You knew everything was alright. Listen up there now,¡± said former mill worker Paul Coleman, while looking out the window towards what used to be the noisy mill. ¡°Pretty quiet, isn¡¯t it? Pretty quiet. That¡¯s eerie."Yet, it¡¯s the silence that now haunts Coleman every day. ¡°I had no sights, no goals on retiring. I would¡¯ve kept on working as long as I could,¡± said the father of four daughters.For nearly 30 years, he worked alongside hundreds of people inside the Luke Paper Mill. He did several jobs over the years, but much of his time was spent as an electrician.¡°All my family has worked in there,¡± said Coleman. ¡°The mill was the lifeblood of the community."The mill is nestled into the hills on the Maryland-West Virginia border. For the small towns around it, this big business was really the only business.¡°Everything was centered around that paper mill,¡± said Coleman.But last summer, this electrician got the news he couldn¡¯t believe.¡°He said, ¡®The mill¡¯s closing.¡¯ I thought he was kidding,¡± Coleman recalled. The closure was real, and almost immediately, his unemployment benefits fell short, and eventually, they stopped.¡°I thank God I had my 401K, which I had to dip into, so we¡¯ve had to live off of that,¡± he said.Still, the bills piled up, especially the health insurance bills. ¡°Reality is what it is. I know no one is going to want to hire a 62-year-old electrician,¡± said Coleman.On his fridge are several magnets from the Caribbean islands the family vacationed to over the years. We asked him about those trips, to which he replied, ¡°Anything like that¡ªit¡¯s out of the question. You have to live within your means."The most painful adjustment to Coleman is not having what he needs for his daughter, who is disabled.The family was just able to fix their handicapped van, so they could bring his 21-year-old daughter home from weeks in the hospital. But now, more problems for this dedicated father.¡°My chairlift is broken down,¡± said Coleman. "That¡¯s the chair lift we use to get her up and down the steps. I called the guy today and it¡¯ll be ,000 to put a new one in. Where am I gonna get that?¡±So, each day, he gets to work, fixing what he can.¡°I don¡¯t claim to be the best of anything,¡± said Coleman. ¡°I¡¯m not the best electrician, but you don¡¯t have to be, you just have to keep moving regardless of what you¡¯re dealt.¡±At the height of its operation, the mill employed more than 2,000 people. As technology increased and production decreased, fewer people were needed inside the mill, but even still, when the mill shut its doors, 700 people were left without jobs. That loss extended far past the mill¡ªthe entire community felt the pain of this closure.¡°It went from seven days a week to not really knowing what you¡¯re doing tomorrow,¡± said Richard Moran, a man born and raised in Allegany County and who supplied coal to the mill for decades. ¡°Lucky to get a 40 hour week now."Moran was forced to lay off dozens of workers when the mill shut down. Months later, his family¡¯s legacy is hanging on by a thread.¡°Right now, we¡¯re doing odd jobs basically, whatever we can pick up on the side,¡± he said.He¡¯s not only lost income, he¡¯s lost the future he dreamed of. ¡°I know my kids won¡¯t stick around here," he said. "There¡¯s nothing for them here.¡±Coleman is worried for the future, too. ¡°I think there¡¯s just an attitude of hopelessness and helplessness that¡¯s here,¡± he said.Both men agree that attitude is easily fueled by no new jobs and no way to relocate for most living in this rural community.¡°That¡¯s not an option for me. This is my home, my entire family¡¯s here,¡± said Coleman, as his granddaughter and two of his daughters all sat in the next room over.The United Steel Workers Local Union President Gregory Harvey said these struggles are only the beginning.¡°Unemployment ran out, insurance ran out, so now it impacts the area," he said. "Now, there¡¯s people not spending money like they were spending money before."He¡¯s working to get as many of his members and neighbors employed as he can, but the jobs in town are low-paying.¡°These guys were used to making ,000 a year, and now they¡¯re making ,000. That¡¯s a hit,¡± said Harvey, a third-generation paper maker himself.Still, the community holds onto hope that this closure isn¡¯t the end. ¡°My hope is that somebody buys this mill and reopens it back up, and if I get the opportunity to go back and work in a heartbeat, do I have to be an electrician? No. I¡¯d go back and shovel a ditch or anything, whatever it took,¡± said Coleman about wanting to continue providing for his family.His plea like so many of his neighbors: a call to someone¡ªto anyone¡ªto rescue this town and these families.¡°You¡¯re not investing in concrete. You¡¯re not investing in these buildings. You¡¯re investing in a workforce like no other,¡± said Harvey. 5223

In post-Brexit Britain, trips to the European Union will get a little more expensive for millions of Brits in search of a continental break.The European Commission confirmed on Friday that UK travelers will be required fill out an online form and cough up €7 (.90) for visa-free travel, which will be valid for three years.Natasha Bertaud, a spokeswoman for the commission's President Jean-Claude Juncker, likened the "simple form" to the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) scheme used by the United States -- which requires travelers to pay to apply for permission to enter the country.She also pointed out that the EU's version, called ETIAS, will be "way cheaper."But this all comes with a major caveat. If the UK crashes out of the EU with no agreement in place, Brits will be required to get a visa to travel to the EU, a commission spokeswoman told Reuters on Friday.ETIAS, which is expected to come into force in 2021, will apply to countries outside the EU whose citizens can currently travel in Europe visa free. There are currently 61 such countries, including the United States, Israel and Singapore.It will cover the so-called Schengen group of 26 European countries that share largely open land borders.The electronic visa waiver system was conceived to "identify any security or irregular migratory risks posed by visa-exempt visitors traveling to the Schengen area while at the same time facilitate crossing frontiers for the vast majority of travelers who do not pose such risks,"?according to the commission. 1554
