Discovery of largest known diamond












In the selection of Valentine's Day gift for a wife or girlfriend, you can not go wrong with diamonds. If you really want to impress your favorite lady for Valentine's Day is, get the biggest diamond in the galaxy. But you better be a deep wallet, because this 10 billion trillion trillion carat monster has a cost that is literally astronomical! "We need a jeweler's lens the size of the Sun since this diamond!" says astronomer Travis Metcalfe ( Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics ) who heads a team of researchers who discovered the giant gem. "Bill Gates and Donald Trump together could not begin to afford it. "
When asked to assess the value of the cosmic jewel, Ronald Winston, CEO of Harry Winston Inc, said that such a large diamond probably would reduce the market value, stating: "Who knows may be a self-deflating prophecy because there is so much of it. " And he added: "It's definitely too big to wear!"

ZAPPEION MEGARO

 

The Zappeion Exhibtion Hall’s purpose was to serve as an exhibition space for Greek agricultural and manufacture products, as well as a space to introduce new technologies to the Greek public.

It also served as a venue for exhibitions of paintings and sculpture, musical performances and other cultural events while the gardens were designed in order to become gathering place for Athenians and visitors.

The Zappeion Exhibition Hall is not simply an impressive building surrounded by lovely gardens. But also a vision, that was conceived in 1856 by Evangelis Zappas and inaugurated in 1888 by Constantine Zappas. The Zappas firmly believed that the newly independent Greek nation needed to take its place among the nations of Europe. They proposed to King Otho of Greece that an area in the capital, close to the new palace, be set aside as a centre for exhibitions and cultural events, which they offered to fund. Athletics and the revival of the Ancient Olympic Games were also part of the vision.
