Life few people know the word "doubt". So sometimes you will encounter a worrying situation that is not as expected. Some tips and tricks to help you through a dangerous situation are never redundant. In addition, there are also many tips to help you "predict" that future, do not miss it! 1. If a suspect is in an elevator, press the buttons for each floor Doing this will give you an increased chance to run away or alert someone outside about someone intending to harm you. This is also one of the tips to be used when the elevator is running "speeding". Accordingly, quickly  pressing all the buttons on the control panel will activate the emergency power supply, preventing the elevator from falling further. 2. Weather prediction with just a glass of water  Shake any drink and pour it into a cup. If the bubbles spread to the sides, it reveals that the weather will be fine. And if the bubbles are in the center, it tells you that a storm is coming or the weather will be bleak, a lot of rain. This is due to the effect of atmospheric pressure on the air bubbles. The high pressure dispelled the bubbles to the side. It means the weather can be sunny. When the pressure is low, the bubble will be in its original position, meaning the weather will be bleak and rainy. 3. Quench the burning pan with baking soda When the oil in the pan gets too hot, the cook doesn't notice that the fire catches in the pan. At this time many people will think to pour water in to put out the fire, right? But this is a taboo! Because pouring water into the oil pan will make the fire burn harder, the oil will splash everywhere. If the fire is low, you can put some baking soda in the pan, it will absorb oxygen. However, the most effective way is to use a large cotton cloth or use a mixture of table salt, water, ammonia salt to put out the fire. Table salt absorbs heat and isolates the fire's contact with oxygen in the air. At the same time, the ammonium salt also produces CO2, so it will put out the fire very quickly. 4. Use your phone as a reflex when you cross the street in the dark You absolutely can use your mobile phone or camera as a light reflecting light when crossing a low-lit street in the dark. This will help drivers see you on the road and react promptly. 5. If someone uses force to restrain you from taking away, sacrifice some personal belongings on the spot If you are on the move and you are suddenly being controlled to get away, try to "accidentally" drop as many personal belongings as possible.  However, be sure to hold your cell phone in case there is an opportunity to call for an ambulance. And this can also help the police find you faster. To a few people, throwing things away can distract the subject, and during their negligence you can take the opportunity to signal others to help or run away quickly.

Using the rotary cutter, quilter’s ruler and cutting mat, cut the teal fabric scraps into 42 strips, each measuring 1½ x 7in. Join seven of the strips together along the long sides, leaving a ¼in seam allowance. Repeat with another seven strips for the mitts, then sew the remaining strips together for the main panel. 2. Cut the large piece of teal fabric into one 7 x 35in and two 7 x 8¾in rectangles. Repeat for the thermal batting, following the manufacturer’s instructions for how many layers you will need for an oven glove. 3. Layer the patchwork pieces with the matching teal fabric and batting, sandwiching the batting between the fabrics with the right sides facing out. 4. Along one of the long edges of each mitt, sandwich the raw edge with bias binding. Pin and topstitch to secure. 5. Place the mitts at each end of the main panel with all the patchwork sides facing up and pin the layers together. 6. Using a circular plate, round off each end of the oven glove, tracing the curve onto the fabric with a pencil, then rotary cutting the excess away. 7. With a small zigzag stitch, sew all the outer edges together to secure the layers. 8. Open out the bias binding and pin around the edge of the oven glove with the raw edges aligned. Sew with a ¼in seam allowance. Fold the binding to the back of the oven glove to enclose the raw edge. Then, using the matching thread and hand-sewing needle, slip stitch the binding in place.
