What’s so great about the HTC One? For one thing, it’s the rare Android phone that actually emphasizes smart design. It’s pretty to look at, but it’s also durable. After three months without using a case, my HTC One doesn’t have a single scratch or blemish. That’s more than I can say about my iPhone 5, whose aluminum edges began collecting scuffs almost immediately.

過去的一周內，中國在聯合國繼續發出對這些島嶼擁有主權的主張。在向大陸架界限委員會(U.N. Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf)提交的劃界案中，中方提出理由稱，根據這些島嶼和中國大陸之間大陸架的地質構成，這些島嶼屬於中國。
大陸架委員會表示將考慮有關此提案的問題。而日本政府則向聯合國表示，應拒絕考慮該提案。

China continued this past week to make claims to the islands at the United Nations. In a submission to the U.N. Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf, it argued that the islands belong to China based on the geological composition of the continental shelf between them and the Chinese mainland.
The U.N. commission said it would consider taking up the matter. The Japanese government told the United Nations that the submission should be rejected.



." The apparently humorless Mr. Sin says little more than party dogma. He becomes emotional only during a visit to the huge museum dedicated to Papa Kim, where visitors must wear comical giant slippers so as not to scuff the floor. "What a great and generous man!" Sin exclaims at the ludicrous and nearly endless display that concludes with a wax replica of Kim Il-Sung before which all visitors must bow.

Baha’i faith

巴哈伊信仰（波斯語：بهائیت‬‎ Bahá'iyyat, 阿拉伯語：（阿拉伯文）‎ Bahá'iyya /bəˈhaɪ/；或稱巴哈伊教，簡稱巴哈伊，舊譯「大同教」），其基本教義可概括為「上帝唯一」、「宗教同源」和「人類一體」。1863年，巴哈伊信仰由巴哈歐拉創立於伊朗，並在中東地區開始傳播。巴哈伊也可以指代接受巴哈伊信仰並按其準則生活的人，他們在提升和完善自身的同時也竭盡所能地促進他人及社會的福祉。巴哈伊信仰目前擁有500至700萬信徒， 遍布於世界大部分國家和地區，在印度和伊朗的集中度最高^{[註 1][1]}。世界上人數最多的新興宗教是摩門教，但世界上分布最廣的新興宗教是巴哈伊教。

巴哈伊教創始人為巴哈歐拉，其名意為「上帝之榮耀」，由此產生教名。根據巴哈伊的教義，宗教的歷史是神差遣先知對人類進行教化的進化過程。神派遣列代聖使亞伯拉罕、摩西、佛陀、瑣羅亞斯德、基督、穆罕默德和巴孛，巴哈歐拉是其中最新的一位。

巴哈伊教是個新的獨立宗教。巴哈伊教沒有神職人員和地方教堂；現在每個大洲建有一個靈曦堂，分別位於美洲美國伊利諾州威爾米特、大洋洲澳大利亞雪梨、非洲烏干達坎帕拉、歐洲德國法蘭克福、中美洲巴拿馬、亞洲印度新德里、太平洋薩摩亞、南美洲智利聖地亞哥。每座廟宇都有九面，每面有一大門，代表可以從各方向加入巴哈伊信仰。廟宇中不出售紀念品、不接受饋贈，宗教經費只來源於教徒的捐贈。禮拜儀式非常簡單，沒有固定的地點，在靈曦堂中可朗誦任何天啟諸教的經典作品。

巴哈伊教有自己的曆法，每年19個月，每月19天，年末增加4天（閏年加5天）。每年公曆3月21日（春分前後）為巴哈伊教曆新年，稱為諾露茲節。每天從日落時開始。

由於巴哈伊教義的簡單和普遍性，在世界各地發展很迅速，是一種生機勃勃的宗教。

1935年，清華大學校長曹雲祥開始翻譯巴哈伊教經典時，認為其社會主張與中國傳統儒家思想的「世界大同」理想相通，故將其翻譯為「大同教」，這個名字一直沿用到1990年代初期。1991年正式更名為「巴哈伊信仰」。
