Photos of smaller home where Barack Obama, Michelle Obama & daughters will move to after White House


President Barack Obama, has concluded plans to move to an 8, 200-square-foot home in the Kalorama neighborhood in Washington, D.C. with his wife, Michelle Obama and daughters, Malia and Sasha after the conclusion of his presidency.


The 9-bedroom mansion with 8.5 baths might not be like the White House, but it still boasts plenty of suburban charm and even a few historical touches, not to mention less traffic.

Built in 1928, the single-family home was first listed in a newspaper ad for an estimated cost of $50,000, according to website Ghosts of DC. Although it seems like a steal compared to its current price tag—the last sale was to former White House press secretary Joe Lockhart for $5,295,000—it was most likely an impressive purchase for Charles Maddox, who resided in the mansion for three decades.

Jose Mourinho has agreed to become the new manager of Manchester United, according to British media reports on Thursday.
Mourinho has been in negotiations with United since Louis van Gaal’s sacking on Monday and it is understood an agreement is now in place for the former Chelsea manager to take charge at Old Trafford.
The 53-year-old is reportedly yet to sign a contract, but official confirmation from United is expected by Friday after the deal was delayed due to discussions over Mourinho’s image rights.
Mourinho is said to have been offered a three-year contract that will pay him £10 million ($14 million, 13 million euros) per season, which is double the salary earned by Van Gaal during his troubled two-year reign.
It was also reported Mourinho, who was sacked by Chelsea in December, is set to be given bonuses that will pay £5 million and £2.5 million respectively if he leads United to the Champions League or Premier League title.

The United States (U.S.) has lifted a decades-old arms embargo on Vietnam in a historic move that follows the country’s growing assertiveness against China’s influence in the region.
Speaking on a visit to Hanoi, President Barack Obama said Washington had fully lifted “the ban on the sale of military equipment to Vietnam that has been in place for some 50 years”. Obama is the third American president – after Bill Clinton and George W. Bush – to visit since the war ended in 1975.
“At this stage, both sides have developed a level of trust and cooperation,” he added during a joint press conference with the Vietnamese president, Tran Dai Quang.
Quang said the end to the embargo was “clear proof that both countries have completely normalised relations”.
