3 . There really are apps for everything and some could end up saving your life.

WhatsApp

Lots of us use WhatsApp for messaging and calling, but do you know it also has a Live Location feature that can let a loved one know your whereabouts in case you’re in danger? You simply press the “+” key in a chat, select “Location”, and then press “Share Live Location”, which enables any participant in the chat to see your location in real time for the duration you choose.

SkinVision

You will have to pay for this digital skin check app, either on an ad hoc or a subscription basis, but with an estimated fifth of skin cancers going undiagnosed (未确诊的) during lockdown, it could be well worth it. You simply take a photo of any suspicious (可疑的) spot with your phone and you’ll then receive a risk indication from SkinVision’s clinically acknowledged technology within 30 seconds.

Stay Alive

With mental health problems on the increase, this prevention app could be extremely helpful. Developed by Grassroots, it offers a wealth of resources, ranging from strategies for staying grounded when you feel overwhelmed, to breathing exercises to direct links to national and local crisis resources.

St John Ambulance First Aid

An app like this is more useful for saving someone else’s life than your own, but arguably it’s a must-have on your smartphone. It gives advice in dealing with emergencies, including choking, allergic reactions and performing CPR. You don’t have to have an Internet connection in order to use it.

4 . The Comfortable Kitchen: 105 Laid-Back, Healthy, and Wholesome Recipes

Here are healthy meals the whole family can enjoy, night after night.

What does comfort mean in The Comfortable Kitchen? For Alex Snodgrass, New York Times best-selling author of The Defined Dish, bringing her family around the table to share a home-cooked meal is a favorite way to show love. Her recipes are designed to bring joy into that display of affection, from your own comfort cooking for your loved ones' delight at the delicious flavors, to knowing that you are caring for your family 's nutrition with each bite.

There are plenty of recipes with simple, flexible ingredients for a meal when desired — perfect for people who are enjoying their “food freedom” stage of their health journey. And for those who have diet restrictions, Alex clearly marks each recipe as gluten-free (无麸质), dairy-free and grain-free, as appropriate.

Alex brings back the joy of being in the kitchen for those at all levels of cooking skills and provides food for every occasion, with soups, salads, pasta, vegetarian and non-vegetarian, ranging from one-pot meals to not-so-junky junk food — and even cocktails and desserts — with recipes including:

▲Cajun Chicken and Wild Rice Soup

▲Green Curry Poached Halibut with Herbs

▲Texas Style Brisket Tacos

▲Herby Green Olive Pasta with Feta

▲Sheet Pan Honey Sesame Cauliflower

▲Clayton's Margarita

▲7-Ingredient Almond Butter Cookies

With 105 approachable and nutritious recipes for real, busy life, The Comfortable Kitchen is a must-have cookbook for those who care about what they eat and what they make.

6 . The Internet can provide a wealth of educational resources for small children, if you know where to look.

Enchanted Learning

Enchanted learning is a great website for children, and I know several teachers who rely on it for materials for their classrooms. Most of the information is free, but for $ 20.00 per year, you can purchase a membership that allows you to have access to the site without the advertising. The pages here are great. There are colored pages and worksheets for toddlers (学步儿童) and school-age children.

Starfall

Starfall is another good educational website for small children. Teachers often use this website in classrooms. It emphasizes reading skills for early learners. The website is aimed at first-grade-level learners, but it has tools that can help all children from pre-K to second grade. The website has reading activities, worksheets to download, and a store where you can purchase educational materials for your children.

Sesame Street Workshop

Kids love Sesame Street, and it is always educational. This is one of the funniest websites online for children because it is very well animated and has great sound effects. The website has games and stories for small kids, and they can create letters at the post office and mail them to their favorite characters.

7 . Things to Do in London This Weekend

Now, some of the most cherished London venues have opened their doors again. Take a look at our lists of exactly what is opening up in London.

Columbia Road Flower Market

The Columbia Road Flower Market is reopening this weekend, but it will be quite different. Stands will be spread out. Nearby roads will be closed and there will be a limit on the number of people who can enter the market. The statement is also calling on locals to support the market but advises people not to visit frequently in order to avoid overcrowding.

Lambeth Country Show

The festival of countryside won' t be held in its usual home of Brock well Park this year. However, it is being taken online instead. All your favourite aspects of the fair will be part of the virtual edition this weekend, including the highly popular Vegetable Sculpture Competition and other usual lower show competitions, local-themed talks, craft market and virtual music performances.

Walthamstow Garden Party

The free two-day festival in E17 is going online this year. Over the weekend you can tune in to music and take part in online workshops from crafting to Tai Chi. Don't miss the highlight of the weekend: East London Radio' s first-ever live show taking place across the weekend with behind-the-scenes chats with local artists, live music from St Mary's Church and much more.

Brixton Courtyard

A new beer garden is opening in Brixton with D sets, wine tastings and more in a safe environment. South London music venue Brixton Jamm has improved its outdoor space with spaced-out booths and picnic benches.
