Exercise can help prevent excess weight gain or help you keep off lost weight. When you take part in physical activity, you burn calories. The more intense the activity, the more calories you burn.

Regular trips to the gym are great, but don't worry if you can't find a large chunk of time to exercise every day. Any amount of activity is better than none. To gain the benefits of exercise, just get more active throughout your day. For example, take the stairs instead of the elevator or rev up your household chores. Consistency is key.

Well known for its juicy strawberries, lush evergreen forests, breezy weather, and picturesque vistas, Mahabaleshwar is the most popular hill station in the Sahyadri Mountain Ranges. Flocked by locals and tourists alike, it is just 285 kilometers from Mumbai and 120 kilometers from Pune. Bound by valleys, this verdant picnic spot is a nature lover’s paradise located in the Western Ghats, in the Satara district of Maharashtra.

The villages of Malcolm Peth, Old ‘Kshetra’, and a part of Shindola come together to form the stunning Mahabaleshwar. The hill station is also a revered Hindu pilgrimage as it is the originating point of the holy Krishna River. The beautiful vantage points, lakes, and waterfalls around the city make it the perfect place for a romantic getaway. The natural grandeur of this hill station can be explored at Arthur’s Seat, Elephant's Head Point, Babington Point, Lodwick Point, and Wilson Point.

Besides natural abundance, the city has some beautiful British-inspired architectural spots as it once was their summer capital. The majestic Pratapgarh Fort and ancient temples also lure tourists from across the globe. The pleasant weather and relaxing vibe of the city make it the most sought after holiday spot in the state.

Sports events are all about excitement, packed stands, loud cheering, and unforgettable moments. But behind all that energy lies a side we often overlook: the environmental cost.

Most people assume stadium lights or waste generation are the biggest contributors to pollution. In reality, fan travel alone accounts for nearly 80% of the total carbon footprint of sports events. That means the biggest impact doesn’t happen inside the stadium at all; it happens on the way there.


Take the recent ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup in India. With thousands of fans driving in from nearby cities or flying in from other states, travel-related emissions surged far beyond the emissions generated by stadium operations.


In this blog, we break down why fan travel emissions outweigh stadium emissions, what this means for the future of sports, and how simple steps toward sustainable fan travel can dramatically reduce the environmental impact of major tournaments.

Soil conservation is the act of preserving and managing the soil to avoid soil degradation, erosion, and nutrient loss; and for the long-term fertility for growth of crops. Soil is the basis of plant life, supports biodiversity, and maintains ecological balance. With respect to tree plantations, it plays a role in tree growth, carbon sequestration, and the preservation of water.


To emphasize the importance of tree plantations to soil conservation is to recognize the fact that trees prevent soil erosion and make the land secure through their roots. Trees also add organic matter that boosts soil, effectively creating ideal conditions for thriving microbial life, allowing nutrient availability. Recognizing the need for tree plantation means recognizing the role of trees in natural protection against desertification and land degradation.

Tree plantations can, thus, protect the environment and contribute to building healthy soils. It, therefore, caters to better agricultural productivity, forest conservation, and climate change mitigation to sustain all mankind. Its purpose also disseminates the restoration of green cover, enhancing soil fertility, conserving water, and maintaining an ecosystem balance.

By putting into focus soil-conservation practices such as mulching, cover cropping, contour farming, and afforestation, we go a long way in ensuring that tree plantations are viable for generations to come in the conservation of our planet's most precious resource-soil.

The earth is the most significant component of life on this planet. Within trees and other flora and fauna, soil can be considered a cornerstone for plant growth, to sustain biodiversity and maintain the overall ecosystem balance. Soils, therefore, become central to be conserved in tree plantations for sustainable development, for preventing erosion, for improving water retention, and for carbon sequestration.

The significance of tree plantation is beyond beautification-it heals the soil. Trees bind the soil, add organic matter, and boost microbial activity; therefore plantation becomes more resilient. Practicing tree plantation is to heal land degradation and maintain balance with the environment.

The importance of tree plantation lies within the very fact that it influences the climate, enhances air quality, and conserves water-both of which depend on healthy soil. Because tree plantation is a very important and effective means of ecological restoration and sustainability.

This blog discusses soil conservation for sustainable tree plantations and good practices to sustain the soil health for a greener future.

JAMH Call for Papers Journal of African Military History - Special Issue: New Histories of the Southern African Liberation Struggles The intertwined wars to bring majority-rule to the Southern African states are rightfully understood in African history both as the triumphs of pan-African solidarity and complex events that interwove both local struggles for authority and global ideological competition. Initial nationalist histories traced the rise and political activities of the liberation fronts while more global views explored the cooperation of African actors with international patrons such as Russia, China, and Cuba in their attempts to leverage Cold War dynamics in an effort to attain their freedom. These often ultimately proved to be more official histories that played up the successes of the liberation struggles against the white redoubt countries as well as the international and Pan-African cooperation that allowed these successes However, the past decade has seen the continued expansion of historical inquiry into these conflicts. Both on the continent and abroad, critical archives have been opened and their documentation being woven into the historical narratives of the conflicts, such as the emergent work on the ALCORA exercises by Robert McNamara and Felipe Rebeiro de Meneses. Access to a plethora of previously unreachable or forgotten interview subjects has established new narratives of the struggles themselves, such as in the works of Joanne MacGregor, Joceylyn Alexander, Christian Williams, or Marc Thomas Howard. Topics that had not previous been studied in a systemic aaptest1@yahoo.com way, such as African participationAAP_test@outlook.com in the struggles against the liberation fronts or the logistics of sustaining the far-flung struggles, have been explored, establishing new bodies of knowledge about these complex conflicts. Simply put, while there have been published historical narratives and knowledge about these struggles since the days of their waging, newer work has both enhanced and expanded on these early publications and there remains more new scholarship emerging. The intent of this special issue is continuing these efforts and publishing new scholarly perspectives on the planning, waging, and inherited narratives of the struggles for the final liberation of Africa while at the same time uncovering varied aspects of these intertwined vijayalaxmi@facebook.com conflicts which have received little or no previous scholarly attention We are particularly interested in contributions exploring the following topics regarding either side of the conflict: - Internal alliances and military cooperation; - Operational planning and direct military engagements; - Recruitment, mobilization and manpower; - Veterans and demobilization; - Labor, industry and sustainment of the struggles; - Gender, masculinity, and the role of women; - Resistance, political activism and interment; - Propaganda, espionage and counterintelligence; - malivijaya975@gmail.com External connections and interactions; - Legacy, commemoration and historical memory; The special issue will consider articles submitted in English.

First, determine how many calories you need in your overall diet
The easiest way to determine how many calories you need is to weigh yourself at least 3 times a week and record what you eat using a calorie tracking app.

If your weight stays the same throughout the week, the amount of calories you eat is considered your “maintenance” level. You’re not losing or gaining weight but maintaining it.

Aim to increaseTrusted Source your calorie intake by about 15% during your bulking phase. For example, if you eat 3,000 calories daily to maintain weight, you should eat around 3,450 calories daily (3,000 x 0.15 = 450) to bulk.

Decrease your maintenance calories by about 15% to transition from a bulking to a cutting phase. In this example, you would consume 2,550 calories per day instead of 3,450.

Plan to revisit your calorie goals every month to account for changes in your weight. Increase your calories as you gain weight in the bulking phase and decrease your calories as you lose weight in the cutting phase for continued progression.

Many have tried to explain mankind’s seeming obsession with outer space as a result of an ancient memory or as part of mankind’s eternal nature. Whatever the cause, people of every age and every nation share this one deep interest, to know more about the universe that our tiny planet is just a part of.

When you buy a device, you will often see both screen size and resolution listed in the specs. The screensize is the physical measurement diagonally of the screen in inches. This is not to be confused with the resolution, which is the number of pixels on the screen often displayed as a width by height (i.e. 1024×768). Because devices with the same screen size can have very different resolutions, developers use viewports when they’re creating mobile friendly pages. Viewports are scaled down versions of resolutions that allows sites to be viewed more consistently across different devices. Viewports are often more standardized and smaller than resolution sizes.

While desktop and laptop displays are in landscape orientation (wider than tall), many mobile devices can be rotated to show websites in both landscape and portrait (taller than wide) orientations. This means that designers and developers must design for these differences.
