When it comes to scaring us, Hollywood sure likes to have fun with spiders. But it's no fun when you have a real fear of them. So it's no surprise when it came time to see one in person, Cassandra Kidd was a bit nervous.  "Oh God I'm scared!" Kidd exclaimed.   She mustered up her strength to hold Rosie the tarantula. And after just a few seconds the fear was gone.  "It felt kind of like a ladybug but more gentle," Kidd says.    Kathleen Lewis peered over the wall as her grandson held Rosie.  "No I'm not as brave as my four-year-old grandson," Lewis says.  Fear kept her from holding the spider herself.  "Too many legs moving," Lewis says.When it comes to overcoming fears like Arachnophobia experts say educating yourself in an environment where you feel safe can make all the difference. The Spider Pavilion at Butterfly Pavilion is an example. Arachnids of all sizes hang out above.  A belief that spiders want to jump down on you is one of many misconceptions Mary Ann Colley, Vice President of Science and Conservation at Butterfly Pavilion, has heard about spiders.  "People are always saying, 'Oh, I am going to eat spiders in my sleep,'" Colley says. "That's not true."Another? The idea they want to bite you."Spiders really don't want to have anything to do with us," Colley says. "They want to do their own thing, they want to hunt for their food, create their webs."  Colley says only a small amount of spiders have a level of toxicity to actually hurt us. Butterfly Pavilion hopes sharing facts can help overcome fear."We want to be respectful of nature around us," Colley says. "So we always suggest to observe so just to take a look you can get close but you don't have to touch."  Seeing spiders in a new light. And facing your fear head on. 1850

With Congress debating the next economic relief package, American workers are set to lose additional unemployment money at the end of the week.The crisis has affected all sorts of workers, but one particular group is less likely to be able to recover – the older workforce.AARP found 30% of older workers lost jobs or income because of COVID-19.Research from the Great Recession found it takes older Americans twice as long to get back into the workforce. If they do, they almost always never end up making the money they used to.AARP is also concerned businesses might be reluctant to hire older workers because of the increased risk to the virus.“There’s now five generations for the first time ever in the workforce, so having that diverse age will actually help in bringing products and services to the market that appeal to a wide range of age of people,” said Susan Weinstock, VP of Financial Resilience at AARP.Prior to the pandemic, businesses were looking to recruit older workers because of their unique soft skills: being empathetic, calm under pressure, and a good listener.Multigenerational workforces tend to be more efficient, productive and have fewer errors and absenteeism.“Think about something that happened at work when you are 25 and then when you are 55 and something similar happens you have some perspective you can bring,” said Weinstock.AARP has resources specific for older workers affected by the pandemic, including a jobs board with a lot of remote work for those concerned about going to work in person. 1543

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Authorities say a retired firefighter who was upset with a mask ordinance in the city of Wichita, Kansas, has been arrested on suspicion of threatening to kidnap and kill the mayor.The Wichita Eagle reports that police say the 59-year-old suspect could face a charge of criminal threat.Democratic Mayor Brandon Whipple said someone had read him text messages received by another city official that asked about the mayor’s address and threatened his life.Whipple says the suspect talked about tyranny in the messages and was upset about the mask mandates and not being able to see his mother because of coronavirus restrictions.“He said he was going to kidnap me and slash my throat and he needed my address because I needed to see the hangman — me and everyone who, something about tyranny,” said Whipple.The Eagle reports that the mayor has been an online target of anti-mask activists after he pushed for a citywide mask requirement to help slow the spread of the coronavirus.Whipple says he will now have an increased security presence around his home to protect him and his family.The Wichita Police Department told The Eagle that it’s investigating the threats and that no other local officials are believed to have been targeted at this time.This incident comes after law enforcement arrested several men who authorities say plotted to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer at her vacation home. Federal agents ended up foiling that plot and are charging the “violent extremists.” 1515

WILMINGTON, Del. — The revelation that federal prosecutors have launched a tax investigation into president-elect Joe Biden's son Hunter is now looming over the incoming administration's transition efforts.Reports Wednesday that federal authorities are investigating Hunter Biden's business in China is reviving distracting storylines and complicating the choice of an attorney general who would have to oversee a probe into Biden's son.The Associated Press has reported that Biden transition officials were considering nominating outgoing Sen. Doug Jones, D-Alabama, or Merrick Garland — President Barack Obama's nominee to replace Justice Antonin Scalia on the Supreme Court in 2016.But because Jones and Garland have longtime ties to Biden, the president-elect may choose to nominate someone else in the hopes of eliminating accusations of bias.President Donald Trump's initial public response was surprisingly muted, just a pair of tweets about a Fox News segment. But privately, he was demanding to know why the investigation was not revealed ahead of Election Day.Other Republicans, including possible presidential contenders, were anything but shy in piling on, questioning the integrity of the president-elect as well as his son. 1245
