The preschool construction space and environment poses major impacts on childrens growth and development. Looking from the current development situation of the country, the preschool construction maintains no independent posture while existing as the ancillary construction for the residential places. This text carries out discussions from the aspects as its general planning, the planar design and the environment, aiming to promote the ecological designing concept development for it construction. Children are the future for the country, the preschool construction, therefore, should not only meet childrens physiological and psychological development, but should also take its ecological and comfortable properties into consideration.

The Future

SOVIET economic policy in the few years since Stalin's death has been characterized by flamboyance and ferment. In an attempt to free economic growth from the bottleneck of stagnation in agriculture, Khrushchev has sponsored some extravagant gambles in corn-growing and in expansion of the sown acreage. Policy toward the consumer has gone through two complete reversals: the regime at first experimented with offering the population an improvement in the standard of living, but is now once again asserting that abundance in the future requires austerity today. Perhaps the most startling innovation of all emerged in the past year when the regime began to develop a program of foreign economic assistance as a weapon in its economic competition with the capitalist part of the world. Because of their spectacular nature, these shifts of policy have attracted considerable attention in the West and have been commented on at length. Aware diat the Soviet Union is expanding her economic power at a more rapid rate than are the capitalist countries, Western students of the Soviet economy have sought in these policy changes-some clue as to whether its rate of growth is likely to decline or to be maintained in the future. The early indications of a rise in standards of living that would cause a reduced growth of heavy industry and so a decline in investment and in the rate of growth have now been dispelled. The inability of Soviet agriculture to provide an expanding food supply for a growing work force certainly appears to be a real threat to industrial growth, and with die failure of Khrushchev's gambles, this threat remains. Thus the evidence as to the over-all effect of these changes on the rate of expansion of die Soviet economy is still inconclusive.

The Future

The growing penetration of mobile telephony in Africa reflects arguably the continent's increasing embeddedness into the concourses of the rapidly evolving global high technology environment. The mobile telephony sphere in Africa therefore holds the greatest potential for connecting people, government, business, and the third sector in the ways contemplated by the idea of societies in which knowledge creation, manipulation, storage, and transmission is central for growth and development. It should be clear then that the sophistication of mobile telephony policy takes on a peculiar salience for Africa's high technological leap in the coming decades. This chapter argues that the recent emergence of telecommunication chambers in African countries must be seen as a key loop in crafting mobile telephony policies that respond deftly to current developmental challenges and positions Africa for the future. Focusing on existing African telchambs, the chapter surveys their emergence, analyzes the empirics of their interface with policymakers, and provides directions for the future.

Artistic Director

Among established American composers, Jacob Druckman's music remains unique in the breadth of its range, the mastery of its orchestration and the totality of its expressive power. There is little point in spending too much effort in drawing comparisons with some of his closest contemporaries and, in any event, such comparisons are hard to come by. He has had a remarkable career: as an academic, as composer-in-residence to the New York Philharmonic, as a conductor (he has conducted a number of his works with the BBC Philharmonic), as artistic director of many festivals, and as lecturer and administrator. He now devotes as much times as he can to composing, but whatever the future brings, there can be little doubt that he has already made a major contribution to the growth and development of 20th-century music.

This article tries to bring you an idea that using LNG distributed energy system in domestic ports. Ports used LNG instead of diesel as fuel for container trailers and bulk cargo loaders. The quantity of LNG consumption of port is in small scale with this way. LNG distributed energy will be good for port power optimization. It can decrease emission and improve port environment. Under the rapid growth and development of LNG application in China, it’s time to study this subject now. At the end of article, the author gives some questions about how to well use LNG distributed energy for deep studies in the future.

Joint Approach

Intellectual development in the life of a teenager must be balanced with good values, morals and morals. Children who do not have a harmonious relationship with their parents in childhood are unlikely to be able to develop super egos that are strong enough, so they can be people who often violate social norms. Independence and moral maturity always put forward in every behavior in every life. The ability that exists in a child's life makes them able to have good morals and attitudes in the future. A person's basic personality is formed in childhood. The processes of development that occur in a child coupled with what is experienced and accepted during the time of his children gradually enable him to grow and develop into an adult human. It is hoped that parents can get to know the growth and development of their sons and daughters as early as possible to find the possibility of abnormalities or deviations in development. The existence of cooperation and a joint approach by experts from various sciences and activities will greatly help the development of children. And the most important point is the parents who are most responsible in developing the overall existence of children, including here physical and psychological needs, so that children can grow and develop towards a harmonious and mature personality.

Metabolic Signatures

Malnutrition continues to affect the growth and development of millions of children worldwide, and chronic undernutrition has proven to be largely refractory to interventions. Improved understanding of metabolic development in infancy and how it differs in growth-constrained children may provide insights to inform more timely, targeted, and effective interventions. Here, the metabolome of healthy infants was compared to that of growth-constrained infants from three continents over the first 2 years of life to identify metabolic signatures of aging. Predictive models demonstrated that growth-constrained children lag in their metabolic maturity relative to their healthier peers and that metabolic maturity can predict growth 6 months into the future. Our results provide a metabolic framework from which future nutritional programs may be more precisely constructed and evaluated.

The Future

This chapter examines a key period in the growth and development of Time and Tide highlighted by its size and price increase in 1928. Exploring Time and Tide’s increased use of illustration, the relationships it developed with a new set of advertisers, and a strategic alliance it forged with the Nation and Athenaeum, the chapter shows how this modern magazine capitalised on contemporary debates about the future of the press and successfully rebranded itself as a leading general-audience weekly review competitive with the New Statesman. The chapter further argues that Time and Tide’s increased emphasis on books following its ‘literary turn’ in 1928 was a key strategy in moving the magazine out of the ‘women’s paper’ category and into the ranks of the intellectual weeklies. At the same, its participation in the cultures of literary celebrity continued to serve a feminist agenda in its promotion of women writers (modernist and middlebrow) as well as the work of female critics such as the periodical’s own director and contributor Rebecca West.
