Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is the 45th and current president of the United States. Before entering politics, he was a businessman and television personality. Trump was born and raised in the New York City borough of Queens, and received a bachelor's degree in economics from the Wharton School. He took charge of his family's real-estate business in 1971, renamed it The Trump Organization, and expanded its operations from Queens and Brooklyn into Manhattan.
The company built or renovated skyscrapers, hotels, casinos, and golf courses. Trump later started various side ventures, mostly by licensing his name. He owned the Miss Universe and Miss USA beauty pageants from 1996 to 2015, and produced and hosted The Apprentice, a reality television show, from 2003 to 2015. Forbes estimates his net worth to be $3.1 billion.
UK village dubbed 'most eccentric' looks like it's straight out of a fairytale
dailyrecord.co.ukIlam, a village in the Peak District, has been dubbed Britain's most 'eccentric' and appears to be straight out of a fairytale.Situated on the banks of the River Manifold in Staffordshire, Ilam had a population of just 402 in 2011.
Its most notable landmark is the Grade II listed neo-Gothic Ilam Hall, a stately home built in the 1820s, which was partially demolished in the 1920s.Ilam Hall now serves as a YHA youth hostel, with its surrounding land owned by the National Trust and gardens open to the public.The village's 'eccentric' label stems partly from its unique chalet-style cottages, which evoke images of a picturesque Swiss village rather than a typical British town.
In addition to its quirky architecture, Ilam is recognised for its eco-friendly policies. It was the first UK community to phase out incandescent light bulbs, reducing the town's annual carbon emissions by four tonnes, reports the Mirror.
While many of Ilam's buildings date back two centuries, the village has been a settlement since the Anglo-Saxon period, with parts of the church still dating from this era.The church has seen numerous renovations and restoration projects, but two stone cross shafts from the Anglo-Saxon period remain, along with a carved stone font.Another notable landmark in the small village is the Grade II listed Mary Watts-Russell Memorial Cross.
