unstated, rules for _ (2) In much of England and the United States, for example, the average
length of gaze is 2.95 seconds. The average length of mutual gaze (two persons gazing each
other) is 1.18 seconds. When eye contact falls short of this amount, you may think the person
is uninterested, shy, or preoccupied. When the appropriate amount of time is exceeded, you
may perceive this as showing high interest.
In much of the United States direct eye contact is considered an expression of honesty
and forthrightness. But the Japanese often view this movement as a lack of respect. They will
glance at the other person's face rarely and then only for very short periods. In many Hispanic

(1) Child development refers to the biological, psychological, and emotional changes
that occur in human being between birth and the end of adolescence, as the individual
progresses from dependency to increasing autonomy. (2) It is a continuous process with a
predictable sequence yet having a unique course for every child. (3) It does not progress at
the same rate and each stage is affected by the preceding types of development. (4) Because
these developmental changes may be strongly influenced by genetic factors and events during
prenatal life, genetic and prenatal development are usually included as part of the study of
child development. (5) Child care programs present a critical opportunity for the promotion
of child development. (6) Developmental change may occur as a result of genetically-
controlled processes known as maturation, or as a result of environmental factors and
learning, but most commonly involves an interaction between the two. (7) It may also occur
as a result of human nature and our ability to learn from our environment.

A forgotten issue in urbanism is lands are use during the night time, with problems
such as noise and dirt, which could be improved with information from Twitter. At least this
is what Enrique and Vanessa Frías-Martínez believe, computer science researchers at
Telefonica Research and the University of Maryland (USA) respectively, who have suggested
using geolocalized tweets for urban planning and land use.
Enrique Frías-Martínez explained that geolocalized tweets can be very useful source
of information for planning since it is an activity carried out by a large number of people who
provide information on where they are at a specific time and what they are doing. The
researcher points out that thanks to the increased use of smartphones, social networks like
Twitter and Facebook have made it possible to access and produce information ubiquitously.
These networks generate tags with the event's geolocation. The new technique
"automatically determines land uses in urban areas by grouping together geographical regions
with similar patterns of Twitter activity," says the researcher. Using aggregate activity of
tweets, the Frías-Martinez siblings have studied land use in Manhattan, Madrid, and London.
In the first two cases they identified four uses: residential, business, daytime leisure (mainly
parks and tourist areas) and nightlife areas. The study has determined that, in Madrid, night-
time tweet activity is concentrated on weekends and in Manhattan, on weekdays. On the other
hand, London is characterized by its tweeting activity in daytime leisure areas.
