There are 132 rooms, 35 bathrooms, and 6 levels in the Residence. There are also 412 doors, 147 windows, 28 fireplaces, 8 staircases, and 3 elevators.

At various times in history, the White House has been known as the "President's Palace," the "President's House," and the "Executive Mansion."

President Theodore Roosevelt officially gave the White House its current name in 1901.

For two hundred years, the White House has stood as a symbol of the Presidency, the United States government, and the American people.

Its history, and the history of the nation’s capital, began when President George Washington signed an Act of Congress in December of 1790 declaring that the federal government would reside in a district "not exceeding ten miles square on the river Potomac."

President Washington, together with city planner Pierre L’Enfant, chose the site for the new residence, which is now 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

As preparations began for the new federal city, a competition was held to find a builder of the "President’s House."

Nine proposals were submitted, and Irish-born architect James Hoban won a gold medal for his practical and handsome design.

Construction began when the first cornerstone was laid in October of 1792.

Although President Washington oversaw the construction of the house, he never lived in it.

It was not until 1800, when the White House was nearly completed, that its first residents, President John Adams and his wife, Abigail, moved in.

Since that time, each President has made his own changes and additions.

You couldn't have said it better.

In Naija, most of the youth in these pics would have been the children of prominent politicians, civil servants, and business people; or entertainers. But the kids on the Miami beaches are just regular folks from low to middle-income families. Even college students who work part time (20 hours or less) per week, can still afford to spend Spring Break in Miami.

Nigeria truly has a long way to go.

Lol....We've seen nothing on this, i wish nairalanders can go to YouTube and see 2016/2017 college spring break in Miami. The groove is killing.

Lalasticlala wish you can let us see what we cant afford here.

F/A Super Hornets and other fighter jets await takeoff aboard the nuclear-powered USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier.

A nuclear-powered US aircraft carrier arrived in South Korea on Wednesday for joint military exercises in the latest show of force against the North.

The USS Carl Vinson arrived at the southern port of Busan as US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson began a tour of the region, where tensions have escalated in recent weeks with missile launches from the nuclear-armed North and the assassination ofKim Jong-Un's estranged half-brother in Malaysia.

More than 80 aircraft, including the fighter aircraft F/A-18F Super Hornet, the E-2C Hawkeye and the carrier-based EA-18G Growler are on board the super carrier.

South Korea's Yonhap News Agency claims the heightened military presence is part of a plan to decapitate North Korean leadership.

They claim a military official, who wished to remain anonymous, told them: 'A bigger number of and more diverse U.S. special operation forceswill take part in this year's Foal Eagle and Key Resolve exercises to practice missions to infiltrate into the North, remove the North's war command and demolition of its key military facilities.'

The bombing inside the Justice Palace, located near the famous and crowded Hamidiyeh market in Damascus, was the latest in a spate of deadly explosions.

A suicide bomber detonated his explosives' vest inside the main judicial building in Damascus.

A suicide bomb attack in a Damascus court has left at least 32 people dead and 45 others wounded.

A man wearing a military uniform and carrying a shotgun and grenadesarrived at the entrance to the court just after 1pm today.

The guards stopped the man and asked to search him. At that point, the man threw himself inside the building and detonated his explosives.

Another suicide explosion then struck a restaurant in the Syrian capital, killing several people.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the bombings, the second wave of deadly attacks in the capital in less than a week after twin bombings killed 74 on Saturday.

As police attempted to move the beach goers, some took the opportunity to pose in front of squad cars with their middle fingers up and take photos.

More twerk.

Crowdy beach.

Too much drinking.

She's high, fell into the ocean, soaking her purse, didn't look too worried about the situation as her friend helped her up.
