10 things that make a great green city
By Jennifer Hattam, TreeHugger
1. Plentiful Parks
Park are the “lungs of the city,” architect Frederic Law Olmsted famously said about New York’s Central Park. From the 500-year-old Giardino della Guastalla in Milan to downtown Houston’s new Discovery Green, parks provide both a place for harried city residents to take a deep breath, relax, and connect with nature, and a cooling counter to the heat-island effect created by all that asphalt. (Not to mention a buffer against flooding.) Green space has even been shown to improve urbanites’ physical and mental health.

2. Efficient Public Transportation
While commuters in Beijing, Dubai, and Lausanne, Switzerland, have shiny new metro systems to ride to work, transit authorities in Mexico City, Istanbul, and Los Angeles have cleared the way for buses by simply putting them in their own lanes. But whether they’re high-tech or humble, transit solutions that allow people to get around quickly and easily without a car are a key element to a green city.
3. Quality Public Space
Amid all the skyscrapers and busy roadways, a good green city has places that are built (or renovated) to human scale, places where people can safely walk and happily gather. Whether it’s New York’s High Line, a old railway bed converted into an aerial walkway, or a popular pedestrian-only street in Curitiba, Brazil, such places not only encourage getting around on foot, but reduce the need for large private dwellings by creating communal space for people to enjoy.

4. Bike Lanes
While the density of cities makes them great in theory for getting around by bike, heavy traffic (and angry drivers) can make cycling unpleasant and even dangerous without designated lanes. The most bike-friendly cities create separated bike paths, provide parking (and even solar-powered showers!), institute bike-sharing programs, and allow cyclists to bring their bikes on buses for longer trips.

5. High-Profile Green Buildings
Showcase developments that seek to be the biggest, tallest, fill-in-the-blank-iest green building may get flak for their aesthetics or be seen simply as “window dressing” for governments and corporations seeking some green cred. But as long as they’re not all a city’s doing, a prominent, striking eco-friendly structure such as the San Francisco Federal Building or the green roof on Chicago’s city hall provides a very visible symbol of green intentions and draws attention to the latest technologies.

6. Comprehensive Recycling and Composting Programs
Yes, recycling is the classic individual environmental act, but it’s not much good without someone to provide conveniently placed bins and reliable collection. The greenest city initiatives are going further than gathering cans and bottles, by adding electronics and food waste to the list of items recycled and composted, and by instituting larger-scale programs to recycle water for industrial use.

7. Mixed-Use and Infill Development
Good planning is key to a green city. While other metropolises sprawl further and further out, Hamburg, Germany, is renovating its obsolete harbor into a walkable mixed-use neighborhood with office, retail, and residential space, while Sacramento, California, is giving new life to old alleyways. Such projects “recycle” existing space that’s already woven into the urban fabric, making them easy to get to and get around.

8. Green Leadership
Not every city official is going to be a “knight on a shining bicycle” like London Mayor Boris Johnson, who stopped an assault as he was cycling by. But government officials such as Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin, former Austin Mayor Will Wynn, and the city council of Marburg, Germany, are heroes in their own right for cleaning up their cities’ sewer systems, promoting wind power and biodiesel, and making solar installations mandatory on new and renovated buildings. An active citizenry provides leadership from the ground up to prod or encourage politicians in the right direction.

9. Smart Energy Policies
Buying renewable energy and mandating efficiency measures are two ways a city can use its economic clout to help build a market for greener products while lowering its own environmental impact (and, often, operating costs). Phoenix, Arizona, for example, is boosting the amount of power it draws from renewable sources and constructing new city buildings to LEED standards, while San Francisco is building a big new solar array, Austin, Texas, is mandating home energy audits, and New York City is looking into offshore wind farms.

10. Good Green Fun
Going green shouldn’t be all work and no play, and the best green cities celebrate their eco-friendly lifestyles with farmers’ markets full of tasty (and unusual) treats, bars and restaurants serving the best organic fare, intriguing exhibits by ecologically minded artists, and music festivals that offer bike valet parking and solar-powered stages.

Cricket was introduced to Nepal by the ruling Rana dynasty when they returned from studies in England and India in the 1920s, though the game was kept very much for themselves and the other

When King Tribhuvan overthrew the Rana family in 1951, cricket began to spread to the rest of the population. A team of Nepali players visited India in 1954, and in 1961 the Cricket Association of Nepal became part of the National Sports Council, to attempt to promote cricket in the whole of Nepal, though this tended to be limited to Kathmandu until the 1980s.

ICC membership
Improvements to the communication and transport infrastructures in Nepal allowed the game to expand outside Kathmandu in the 1980s and Nepal became an affiliate member of the International Cricket Council in 1988. A major development programme was begun in the early 1990s, with regional and district tournaments established and cricket being promoted in schools.

The interest in cricket increased quickly, and demand to play was such that teams in tournaments had to be restricted until more facilities were built in the mid 1990s. Nepal became an associate member of the International Cricket Council in 1996,which was the year the national side played for the first time, in the ACC Trophy in Kuala Lumpur, in which Nepal finished fourth out of six teams in their first round group, beating Brunei and Japan.

Communication
How does communication work in our life?
Communication is the most important part of human beings. If it hadn’t been for communication, we would still have been lingering in the woods wearing nothing and hunting for food. Communication enabled us to live in society. We share our ideas and every human being can know what the other knows through communication.
Communication happens with the help of words. Words are made up of letters and they form a language. A language is a basic identity of every person. The language one speaks speaks for him/her. It tells the person’s place of origin and the kind of person s/he is. Language is the basis to proper communication. We need to speak the same or understandable language to communicate properly. There is always a better communication between people speaking the same language and it serves as a means of emotional attachment among people as well. However, language is never a barrier to communication as even deaf and dumb people communicate without even learning any language.
In spite of a perfect knowledge of language in two people, their communication can never be perfect as communication is not merely about speaking but it also depends on viewpoints, knowledge and attitude of a person. This is known as the mental filter of a person. This affects the perception and understanding of a person when he is communicating with another person with a different kind of mental filter. Two people, most often, react differently in the same situation. They use different words or act differently in response to the same message. So, communication can never be predefined. It is different according to people’s mental filter n two person’s have the same mental filter.
Moreover, communication is not a natural process. It is learnt in due course through social and environmental schooling. In modern world, it is even learnt through course books. So, the learning process also affects the mental filter of a person. Also, our critical thinking ability, economic status, native place, gender and age affect our communication style and choice of words. Our family members are the most influential in our way of communication. Our locality, kins and peers also have a major impact on how we communicate. However, there is a part played by our personal interest and our role models in our communication process.
Communication is not merely a exchange of facts among people. In fact, it mostly involves our perception of many things and even abstract ideas. Communication includes talks of future planning, imagined things, guesses, personal views and many things which differ from person to person. This shows that communication helps people tell things which they feel, see or imagine in their own way and what people tell is mostly not the exact reality.
In business, communication plays a vital role. Communication helps to make deals, exchange goods and make profit eventually. A manager with a good communication skill gains success by sharing good things in a nice way but a lack of the same leads people to failure in spite of having better ideas. Communication helps to increase trust and reliability among business leaders. Trust and reliability are very important in any business as it is all about give and take of money. That is why most work time of people in business is spent in communication. However, only a small part of it is productive and the rest is on trivial topics which in fact make the basis to a big deal. For this reason, a lot of money is spent in any organization for communication purpose.
Above all, communication is the most vital process in every person’s life. We spend so much time and money in communicating with other people in order to maintain a relationship, earn money, create happiness, give message, tell the fact and make base for next communication or meeting. It is all to live a happy life with people around us till the end.
