The tiny Chihuahua who thinks he's a Buddhist monk. Auckland, New Zealand GDI
He is admired for his impeccable zen and ability to radiate a sense of inner peace.
And while other Buddhists may have to wait years to reach enlightenment, this devotee seems to have attained Nirvana in just two.
Unfortunately, appearances can be deceptive, especially when the "monk" in question is a Chihuahua named Conan.
The tiny dog actually launches into "prayer" when he wants treats - and is richly rewarded by impressed visitors.

Praying Buddhist Dog
Zen-like: Practice makes perfect for Conan whose prayers are answered (usually very quickly) with treats
Conan, a two-year-old male with black hair and soulful eyes, begins his routine by standing beside a priest before the altar and staring intently at a statue of a Buddhist deity.
When the priest begins to chant and raises his clasped hands, the little dog also lifts his paws and joins them at the tip of his nose
He is now the top attraction at his Japanese temple.
"He started to pose in prayer like us whenever he wanted treats," said priest Joei Yoshikuni.
"Clasping hands is a basic action of Buddhist prayer to show appreciation. He may be showing his thanks for treats and walks."
"It's so funny that he does it," said Kazuko Oshiro, 71, who has been going to Jigenin temple on the southern island of Okinawa for more than 25 years.

It's a dog's life: Conan's prayer pose is perfect
"He gets angry when somebody else sits on his favourite spot. He must be thinking that it's his special place."
Conan may not be as devout as first appearances indicate but he does seem to have brought his temple home good luck.
Visitor numbers have swelled by 30 per cent since his arrival and he a particular attraction for younger people.
"I'm glad that people feel more comfortable visiting the temple because of Conan," Yoshikuni added.
Teen caught driving at 195km/h! Auckland, New Zealand, GDI, Monavie
Taranaki police were shocked after clocking a teenager driving at 195km/h, with four passengers in his car.
"It would be the highest speed I've ever seen on the radar," Detective Kim Severinsen told the Dominion Post.
The incident happened on Tuesday on State Highway 3.
Police chased the 19-year-old's car into Eltham, in South Taranaki, where he tried to hide the vehicle behind a friend's house.
The driver was arrested and charged with excess blood alcohol, failing to stop and driving at excessive speed. (Source: New Zealand Herald). Non-related video clip.

Alien-Like Being Born From A Cow In Thailand
This dead alien-like being found in a small town in Thailand was claimed to be born from a cow and seems at first to be a severe case of birth malformation defect. A closer examination however reveal that the alien being resembles too much of a human baby with its front legs looking more like hands than feet.
In the form of a ritual, the local residents pour baby powder onto the dead body and burnt incense in their belief of cleansing the area of evil and hopeful that it will be reincarnated peacefully. More pictures below and you can click on the picture for larger view.

Connecting the remote Papua New Guinea, GDI Online Marketing, thekiwi
Radio contact
But information should flow more easily into the Central Highlands now. People are gathering here from across the area to celebrate the opening of an independent radio station. Officials say it is the first one to be built in such a remote region. It will be linked to the independent radio news agency KBR68H, and will be staffed by local people - all of whom have been trained from scratch.
Gaining trust
There was a lot of scepticism at first about the benefits of building the station. Promises of development have often gone unfulfilled here and many local people are angry at what they see as neglect from the central government in Jakarta. Papua generates large amounts of money thanks to its vast natural resources, but the region remains desperately under-developed.
The editor of KBR68H, who spearheaded the project, says it took many meetings before locals began to trust in it.
Electricity supply
One of the key problems in building the station was the lack of power. This is an area where most people live in traditional thatch huts, and rely on wood fires to keep warm and cook food. The team behind the project decided the only solution was to build a mini-hydro-electric dam to power the station. There was enough electricity left over to channel some to the school, the church and the more modern houses of several local leaders.
Changing dress
Several people wear traditional dress here, but others - especially children - wear Western-style T-shirts. One man, dressed in a traditional penis gourd, head-dress and beads, told me he was tired of sleeping on the ground in his hut and wanted a modern house and proper roads.
"When that happens," he said, "I'll change the clothes I wear and wear T-shirts instead."
Pig economy
This is an area so cut off and under-developed that there is neither much money nor much day-to-day value in having it. Most people are subsistence farmers and the community is built on a pig economy. For the opening of the radio station, locals celebrated with a traditional pig roast.
Nine pigs were brought to the party, by tribal leaders, local officials and neighbouring villages. One pig can be worth the equivalent of $2,000 (£988).
Outside world
Without phone connections or frequent visits from outsiders, getting information from areas like this used to be slow and difficult. Now rights workers say the radio station will make it easier to connect with the outside world - to share allegations of abuses, develop the local economy and stay in touch with events outside of Papua. People may have been isolated for generations, but many are keen to know what is happening in Jakarta and beyond.

Illustrated Guide to Face Reading (GDI, David Lim, Auckland, New Zealand)
Could it be possible to know someone’s personality just by looking at his face?
Yes, at least that’s what a growing number of face reading experts think.
Being skilled in face reading can give you valuable insights into anyone just seconds after meeting. Knowing how to read faces while doing your next sales presentation can give you the edge you need in order to seal the deal.
Reading Face Shapes
The individual with most prominent cheeks is usually the man with most personal power. This person might not hold the highest official position but he most likely has a strong backing by his friends and colleagues. If you convince him, others may follow.
If you want to speak to the person who will probably get in the last word of the subject, direct your attention to the person with the largest chin or whose chin juts out the most.
Having the person with the last say in your side can give you the edge you need.
The person with the longest nose or whose nose sticks out the most is usually in control of the money. A big bulb on the end of the nose indicates that the person is very concerned about money.
If a person has big jaws or jowls, pay attention. These are the people who are used to getting their way. When communicating always use a respectful approach and be willing to listen, even if they interrupt before you have the chance to finish talking.
These people are thinkers - it is a good idea to give them all technical information and details. Don’t be afraid to use descriptive words and complex sentences - the more the better! To win them over you need to use logic and reason.
You don’t want to waste the time of these people. Show them how they will be the envy of their neighbors and co-workers and use lots of verbs and adjectives. People with a large middle area between their nose and mouth are usually after results, not caring too much about the people
Don’t press these people - make a connection first and then let them make up their own mind. The more relaxed and easygoing you are when talking to them, the better results you will get.
When pressured these people can feel discomfort and start avoiding you.
Protruding Cheeks and Big Jaws
These people are accustomed to getting their way. It is very important to show respect for their opinions and viewpoints - if you don’t do it they will probably not listen to you.
Getting them on your side can win over more people.
People with pear shaped heads like to be consulted. Ask for their opinion again and again and again, because when you won’t they will put up emotional walls. Once an emotional wall is erected it is very difficult to get around it.
These people are usually very impatiant and they don’t have time to waste. If you want to win these people over you need to get to the point quickly - this is especially true if they also have high ears.
If these people get excited or start talking, they may be difficult to stop. Don’t worry - just wait patiently until they have finished and acknowledge their point of view before offering your position.
These people have small mouths, thin lips, deep-set eyes and ears close to the head. They hold themselves in and are not outgoing. You cannot assume that you know what they are thinking or that they are agreeing when they nod their heads - that just means they heard what you said.
Face Reading - Eyes
It is often said that eyes are the mirror of the soul. Whenever reading a persons face it is important to take a good look at the eyes - they never lie.
Large Eye
Make sure that these people are looking at you when you are talking. These people take in information best when they can see it. If possible - use charts and draw pictures to make your point. This is also true for people with small ears.
Straight Bottom Lids
These people are mistrustful and suspicious - before you can win them over you need to gain their trust. Once the trust is established they will be your loyal supporters.
Eyes Angle Down
These people tend to look for problems. Don’t be too enthusiastic, and refrain from being jovial. They think that life is serious.
Eyes Angle Up
These people are the optimists. Tell them how great everything is going to be. They always expect everything to work out well.
You may have a hard time trying to get your point across to these people, because they won’t stop talking. Be careful about interrupting because they may get their feelings hurt.
These people look like they are agreeing with you when nodding their heads., but actually, they are analyzing everything and need some time to think things over. Don’t push them - just give them enough information so they can make up their own minds.
Face Reading - Eyebrows
Eyebrows and often considered to be a part of eyes but actually they are separate physical features - that’s also how how face reading experts treat them. It is important to read both features separately in order to get a good insight into the inner workings of a person.
Eyebrows are strong indicators of how a person thinks.
Straight Eyebrows
These are idea people. When trying to communicate a new idea, be sure that it is based on facts.
Continuous Eyebrows
These are powerful thinkers whose minds are always at work. Let them tell you some of their ideas and they will be happy.
Thin Eyebrows
These people need reassurance - especially if the eyebrows are high, round and pencil thin. They are also concerned with being judged, they want to be above reproach. When talking a sincere compliment can help pave way. You should also remember that these people are often self-conscious.
Tangled Eyebrows
These people will test your position by taking a devil’s advocate stance. Don’t start waffling when they challenge you - just explain your side and give facts. Don’t let them intimidate you - they just like to shake things up to test the validity of information.
Curved Eyebrows
These are people oriented individuals. Give them anecdotes and personal stories about whatever you are trying to get across. Explaining your idea to these people is not enough - you need to show how it works in the real world.
Angled Eyebrows
For a good relationship let them know that their opinions are important and allow them to feel in control. If possible, ask for their opinions and how you can assist them.
Managerial Eyebrows
It is OK to use all the details and technicalities with these people. You must know what you are talking about if you want them to trust you.
Winged Eyebrows
These people are visionaries. It’s best to use some facts but cut out excessive detail. Be ready to show the big picture and paint an enthusiastic vision of possibilities.
Face Reading - Nose
These people respect logic. When communicating with them, avoid everything that is not clear and logical and stick to the facts. Try avoiding emotional appeals and have good answers when they question something.
Take care not to make these people feel concerned. You can state your position as strongly as you want, but you must also stay open to their ideas if they become feisty.
These people consider themselves good negotiators.
These are people who respond to emotion. If you want them to accept an idea or buy a product, be sure to show them how good they will feel or how good it will make someone else feel.
These people appreciate beauty and creative new approaches. Be willing to listen and appreciate their ideas and creative solutions.
They like when others have to implement their ideas.
Face Reading - Mouth
Our mouths are sources of huge amounts of vocal information, but what can they say to those willing to put their face reading abilities to the test?
These people can be unpredictable, but they are willing to take the risk. Given a choice between staying with what they’ve got, or taking a chance on it all, they will often choose to go for it.
These people always see both sides of arguments and therefore can have trouble making up their minds. Reassuring them that they are making a good decision may be the most important feedback you can give them.
These people are wary of what others tell them. If you are trying to sell him something, it may be helpful to make a very balanced pitch by pointing out a few flaws or showing other alternatives to what you are selling. Your unexpected candor will help gain their trust.
For these people it is important to be authentic. They connect less to what you say and more to what you are. A slick presentation may sound phony and they are quick to spot deception. When communicating with these people the best advice is to relax and be yourself.
Want to become a face reading expert?
This was only a short introductory course to face reading. If you now consider yourself to be a face reading expert you are deeply mistaken. True experts can distinguish between hundreds of facial features while this blog post only has 34 examples. For in depth face reading information I would suggest reading a book. While I haven’t been able to get my hands on all of them the 2 best one’s are definitely Amazing Face Reading and The Power of Face Reading. The first book is also where all the pictures are taken from.
