For the most part good looks is a blessing. We treat pretty people more favorably in general, often vote for them more in elections, and pay them more in their professions. The research suggests that attractive people may be discriminated against in selection for relatively less desirable jobs.s world.

He is currently working on a space telescope lens that, if all goes according to plan, should be able to unfold to the size of a football field. 39。 But did you ever stop to think how the same techniques might be applied to engineering? Equipment that could be of real practical use? Origami meets the demand for things that need to be small when transported and large when they arrive, like the everyday umbrella.

The chances are that as you did it, you reflected on how inventive this traditional art is. Animals, boxes, flowers, boats: it all can be created from a single square or rectangular sheet of paper simply by folding it. No cutting, no pasting. in 1995, Japanese engineers launched a satellite with solar panels that folded like a map.It39。 At the other end of the scale, researchers are also working on tiny folding devices that could lead to breakthroughs in medicine and puting.

Researchers carried out four experiments involving more than 750 participants, including university students and managers who make hiring decisions in the real world. Participants were shown photos of two potential job candidates, one attractive and the other unattractive. Participants were then asked a series of questions designed to measure their opinions of the job candidates and whether they would hire these candidates for a less173。desirable job. Ms Lee said, In the selection decision for an undesirable job, decision makers were more likely to choose the unattractive individual over the attractive individual.
