   THE NOKIA LUMIA 930 IS AN UNDERRATED ICON Nokia Lumia 930 When discussing iconic Lumia devices, we all remember the Lumia 800, the Lumia 920, and the Lumia 1520. All of these phones shined very brightly when they first came out, but not many people talk about the Lumia 930… Which is a bit ironic considering the Lumia 930 was a rebranded Lumia Icon from the US market! In fact, around the time the 930 came out, all the rumors were talking about the Nokia Mclaren, a prototype phone that was able to sense your fingers even before you touched the display.

TEN FAMOUS BUDDHAS: WHERE THEY CAME FROM; WHAT THEY REPRESENT

. The Giant Faces of Bayon The stone faces of Angkor Thom are known for their smiling serenity. Mike Harrington / Getty Images Strictly speaking, this isn't just one Buddha; it is 200 or so faces decorating the towers of the Bayon, a temple in Cambodia very near the famous  Angkor Wat . The Bayon probably was constructed at the end of the 12th century. Although the faces are often assumed to be of the Buddha, they may have been intended to represent  Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva .
