A woman has gone viral on TikTok for showcasing a string of tips to 'keep yourself safe in hotels'. Some have praised her for sharing her lengthy routine, while others have called it overly cautious. In the clip that's racked up 14.1 million views, Victoria (@victorias.way) said she starts her holiday by putting the 'do not disturb' sign on the hotel door and locking it. She then uses tissue to cover the peephole, before putting a washcloth in the deadbolt loop "to close the gap." Victoria then makes use of the ironing board, by placing it behind the door and rolling a bath towel to put behind the handle to stop intruders. For "added security," Victoria adds a clothes hanger to the mix by connecting it to the door handle and deadbolt loop. @victorias.way Hotel safety tips #hoteltips #hoteltipsandtricks #hotelroom #hoteltip #hotellife #hoteltipps #hoteladvice #hoteltrick #hotel #safety #LifeHack #besafe #kidnappedinhotel #hotelsafetytips #hotelsafetyhacks #hotelsafe #hotelsafehack #selfdefense #learntofightathome #learntofight #viral #viralvideo #pageforyou #joeteti #dalecomstock #Unlock #unlockdoors #ducktape #fyp #foryou #xyzba #trending #trend #traveladvice #advice #traveltok #hostess The TikToker's clip was soon inundated with thousands of divisive comments, with some praising her methods and adding more to the list.

Researchers have discovered a new species of tarantula lurking in mangrove swamps – and they have vibrant blue legs. The arachnid was discovered inhabiting hollow trees, in Phang-Nga, Thailand. They like to live in humid and wet conditions. Caused by its unique hair nanostructure, the spider omits an electric blue colour. “The difficulty of catching an electric-blue tarantula lies in the need to climb a tree and lure it out of a complex of hollows,” said researcher Dr Narin Chomphuphuang. “During our expedition, we walked in the evening and at night during low tide, managing to collect only two of them.” Blue is one of the rarest colours to appear in nature, absorbing very small amounts of energy to reflect the blue light. Creating an iridescent effect, the species is known as Chilobrachys Natanicharum, the Electric Blue Tarantula. This spider is one of the rarest tarantulas in the world, facing extinction due to the looming threat of deforestation of the mangrove forests. The researchers are thus campaigning for preservation efforts, hoping to save the newly discovered species. Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.
