LOS ANGELES

Just in case you missed this one, it goes to eleven.
The hotel industry is constantly inventing new marketing tricks to attract guests. Now some people are accusing Belgrade hotelier Dusan Zabunovic of going too far with his latest gimmick.

With the help of some of the best designers in the country, Zabunovic renovated a property opposite Belgrade’s central train station. He named the hotel Mr. President and had each room designed around a current or past world leader.

And you guessed it, the Hitler or room 501 (occupied mainly by German, Croat and Slovenian guests) sees the highest demand, according to Zabunovic.

But the former Nazi dictator’s popularity hasn’t gone down well with everyone. The leader of the Jewish community in Belgrade has condemned Zabunovic’s marketing ploy as a dangerous “banalization” of the German dictator. Read More…

The biggest black hole in the Universe has been weighed by astronomers.

The monster celestial object is 18 billion times more massive than our own Sun, says a team from Finland – six times larger than the previous record.

The object, called OJ287, is orbited by a smaller black hole, which allowed its mass to be measured very accurately.

The finding also enabled the researchers to test Einstein’s theory of gravity for the first time in a strong gravitational field.

Details of the finding were presented at the 211th meeting of the American Astronomical Society (AAS) in Austin, Texas.

The binary black hole system powers a quasar – a compact halo of matter which radiates enormous amounts of energy.

It is relatively close for a quasar – about 3.5 billion light-years away from us in the constellation of Cancer – making it one of the most studied objects of its type.
