　　It is the goal of politicians everywhere－how to win and keep the trust of voters．

Now researchers at the University of St Anurew’s in Scotland say they may have the answer．They believe politicians could learn a lot from recent advances in science．A growing number of studies have shown that people do judge a book by its cover．Researchers say most of us make quick judgments about a person on the basis of how they look．

　　Studies suggest that people are less likely to trust those with particularly masculine(男性的)features, such as a square jaw, small eyes or a big nose．“They are considered dominant(支配的)and less trustworthy,” says Ms Cornwell．“It doesn’t mean that men who look more masculine are less trustworthy－it’s just our first impression．” Those with less masculine features－large eyes, a smaller nose and thinner lips－are thought to be more trustworthy．

　　The researchers are putting their science to the test at the Royal Society’s annual summer exhibition in London．They have manipulated the faces of Prime Minister Tony Blair, Conservative leader Michael Howard and Liberal Democrat leader Charles Kennedy accentuating(强调)their dominant and trustworthy features．“We have used a computer program to change the shape of their faces and features．We hope it will help people to understand our work．”

　　So should we expect to see them at the exhibition getting tips?

　　“I don’t think it’s something they will want to try, ” says Ms Cornwell．“It’s not really possible with television．We all know what they look like．”

Dear Edward,

I have been very busy recently with some really exciting new developments．If you visit my main website you will see various new items there．

The first is a tab called Food for Thought．This is a short daily email which raises a question or makes a statement or provides something for you to think about．Some regular readers may find these emails quite basic．However, you would agree with me that there are many people who reject anything spiritual simply because it means venturing(冒险进入) into the unknown．

There is also a tab called Please Help Me．I will be hosting tele-discussions soon-yes, and I am really excited about that!

Here I ask you to propose topics for tele-discussions．If you are concerned about missing out, don’t worry．The proceeds will be recorded and made available as MP3 recordings．Please let me know what burning issues you have or what you are curious about．

I am providing a free mystery gift to the value of ??9.95 for each successful suggestion． And please don’t think your issue is meaningless-there may be a number of other people who may have the same issue．

You may not be aware that I have also published a number of guided meditations(思考) on-line．Please have a look at this website for a free guided meditation as well as an explanation of what meditation is about．

And watch this space for more exciting things to come in the next month．I am now in a space where my hobby has become my work-how lucky can a girl be!

I also want to thank you for your support and interest over the past years-you have helped me immensely on my own journey．

Love and Light,

Elsabe
