1 . The ZMI brand, part of the Xiaomi ecosystem, which we know very well for the large amount of power banks and smartphone accessories (附件), has just released a really interesting new device (装置). Its name is ZMI Hand Warmer/Power Bank. It is a hand warmer as well as a power bank. The product is now on sale in China in several stores including Xiaomi Youpin and Suning Tesco at a price of only 89 yuan.
The ZMI hand warmer is equipped with a PTC type temperature heating technology, which is reliable. In the riskless temperature range, it can heat up to a comfortable temperature for the human body very quickly, reaching around 52 degrees centigrade. Temperature will then lust for two or four hours depending on the outside temperature, as well as the amount of power left.
The ZMI Hand Warmer/Power Bank is not just a hand warmer in cold days, but also a power bank. Unlike other similar devices, this product is able to charge an iPhone 12 about 54 minutes faster than when using the original Apple 5W power supply.
Of course, the ZMI power bank is also compatible (兼容的) with smartphones of different brands and small devices such as Bluetoooh headsets, smart bands and smartwatches. The product is small and can be controlled with one hand and can be taken with you anywhere. There is also an LED light so you can turn it into a portable night light in seconds.

2 . There was a time in the past when, if you had surplus(多余的）food in your fridge, you may have knocked on a neighbor's door to see if they wanted it. Now, unfortunately, giving away food may cause embarrassment, so uneaten food often ends up being thrown in the trash.
Olio hopes to change that. This smart food-sharing app allows people with extra food to post a picture online and anyone who wants it can respond and pick it up, usually within minutes or hours of it being posted. No money is exchanged. It's straightforward gift of surplus food to someone who can prevent it from going to waste. You might even make a new friend in the process!
The app was created in 2015 by two businesswomen, Tessa Clarke and Saasha Celestial-One , in England. Since then it has grown rapidly with nearly 3.5 million people using it in 50 countries. The app saw even more people join in throughout 2020, when food insecurity increased due to the pandemic(疫情).
Clarke told the Guardian that, in the United Kingdom, about a third of all food is thrown away - half of it in people's homes.“Each family throws away an average of 730 of food each year,” she said. Olio managed to fix this in a simple way. “The app connects people with others who have surplus food but don't have anyone to give it to because so many people are disconnected from their communities.”
It's a great idea that will hopefully continue to expand around the world as people realize the benefits of sharing food, rather than throwing it away.

3 . Michael King had just taken out the money from the bank to cover a business debt he owed. For whatever reason, he was so careless that he accidentally left his wallet on the top of his car before starting the engine and heading home.
Meanwhile, Steve Harrison，who was heading in the opposite direction noticed something floating in the wind. Quickly realizing it was cash, he pulled over and caught it. He found King's wallet as well.
After pulling into a supermarket parking lot, Harrison counted the money — one hundred $100 bills and three singles for a total of $10,003. Though it might have been highly attractive to use the windfall, Harrison used his own money to pay for his shopping list.
Then Harrison tracked down King and returned his money and wallet.
“I never took seriously the idea of keeping it,” Harrison told the Times. “It's just simpler to do the right thing. Once I realized that there was an ID involved, I knew I would return the money.”
When the two arranged to meet, King couldn't afford to give Harrison a financial reward. Instead, he presented Harrison with a jar of homemade applesauce (苹果酱) — which he told Harrison was made with love and care by his family. And King isn't stopping there with his appreciation. Harrison has been promised home-smoked fish, homemade blackberry jam, and many more tasty treats in his future, which is a special form of currency that leaves a good taste in anyone's mouth.
