According to its advertisement，potential customers just need to book a lunch reservation，then complete a six-minute workout consisting of intervals on the rowing machine，spin bike. After exercising, people can order one of four tasty, healthy options on the cafe's menu for free.The gym chain explained that the motivation behind the activity is to get sedentary(久坐不动的)office workers away from their desks during the work day. "According to our research British office workers spend almost 90 percent of the working day sitting being inactive and eating lunch at their desks-a problem worsened by the huge popularity and convenience of food and shopping delivery apps，”Elaine Denton, a health and fitness expert from David Lloyd Clubs said in a statement.“We want to remind workers of the importance of being active at work and moving around more.”She added，"Importantly, the cafe isn't in any way about encouraging people to 'cancel out' calories through exercise. Indeed, the micro workout at Run for Your Run only represents a part of the calories contained in any of the lunch foods.”Though the deal is only open to Londoners from Jan. 11 to Jan. 13，the model is one that is likely to inspire lots of copycats(无主见的人)around the globe.

Madhubani painting，also known as Mithila painting, is a style of Indian painting practised in northeastern region of Bihar which is done with fingers，brushes and even matchsticks using natural colours and is characterised by eye-catching patterns. There are paintings for various occasions and festivals-such as births，marriages-and also about Hindu tales."Normally, the Hindus respect trees but they almost stopped cutting them once we painted the tree trunks with different pictures of deities,”Siya 1)evi，one of the artists associated with the tree painting campaign, says. "Previously，the sight of people cutting roadside trees was quite common. Now this gives us much satisfaction to see the crowds of tourists paying visits to this particular area to see the painted trees and take photos.”The idea is the brainchild of a local villager Shashthi Nath Jha who has been working for Gram Vikas Parishad, a non-governmental organization, which helps to protect the rights of women arid childlabor."The sight of people cutting trees with axes and saws always gave me a lot of pain. I tried to convince them this wasn't good for environment but they never took it seriously. So I finally thought upon the plan to paint scenes from Hindu classics or pictures of Gods on the tree harks thinking it can work significantly, and yes，it has begun working now,” claims Jha.32.
