THE U.S. OPEN FINAL
Date: September 18, 2018
What made the moment: Watching Se-
rena Williams and Naomi Osaka go head-
to-head at the U.S. Open Final in 2018 felt
like a true changing of the guard moment
for the sport. That said, the match will be
remembered more for its aftermath — the
crowd booing umpire Carlos Ramos,
Osaka in tears, and Williams embracing
the young champion.

U.S. National Park:

T he words “For the Benefit and Enjoyment of the People” stretch across the
northern entrance of our nation’s first national park, Yellowstone.
According to the Department of Interior, the goal of the National Park Service
is, and has always been, to keep our wild places protected and unimpaired for
future generations. To that end, more than 400 areas and 84 million acres spanning
all 50 states and several unincorporated territories of the United States, protect
America’s greatest natural treasures. With 61 of those wilderness areas toting Na-
tional Park designation, it can be tricky trying to pick which park to visit.
So, to help you determine which parks should be higher on your bucket list,
we ranked each park based on their overall accessibility, facilities and accom-
modations, trails and attractions, crowds, and, of course, overall ‘wow’ factor,
which we measured by photo ops and stunning scenery.
Keep in mind, it’s almost impossible to say that one is better than the next —
there’s truly something special about each one of our national parks.

BROOKLYN SUPREME WAS THE
WORLD'S LARGEST HORSE AND IT
WEIGHED 3,200 POUNDS
There are horses and then there are horses, big ones that tower
over men and seek to gobble them alive - Brooklyn Supreme
was one of those horses. According to a write up on Brooklyn
Supreme the horse weighed 3,200 pounds and stood 19.2 hands,
and he stood 10 feet around. The horse was so large that he
needed a 30 inch bar of iron to make one shoe. For as big as
Brooklyn Supreme was he was rather gentle. An old newspaper
clipping about the horse stated that he had a penchant for “steal-
ing ice cream cones and goodies from unsuspecting little boys
and girls.”

A
Huntington Beach resident was taken into custody by Fountain Valley
police last week in connection with an ongoing investigation tracking a
drug ring in Orange County.
Garrett Robert Tiebens, 20, was arrested on April 14 after the Fountain Valley
crime suppression unit executed a search warrant on his home.
The search found Tiebens to have allegedly been in possession of illegal nar-
cotics — including counterfeit pills — and firearms, authorities said. The nar-
cotics included about 10,400 “Xanax” and 840 “Percocet” pills, as well as 3.5
ounces of psilocybin, ecstasy pills and Adderall. The recovered narcotics have
a street value that exceeds $75,000, according to the release put out by the Foun-
tain Valley Police Department.
Police also said they recovered a loaded weapon — a Glock-style ghost gun
containing a high-capacity magazine — and $3,500. Tiebens is under the legal

Jada Pinkett Smith's Red Table Talk is back — but it doesn't address the slap
seen around the world, at least in the trailer.
The Season 5 trailer for the Facebook Watch show dropped Tuesday — one
day ahead of the premiere. While many different celebrities and newsmakers
will be featured
this season, there
was surprisingly
zero mention of
the Will Smith
Oscars slap.

the trailer not in-
cluding it makes
for an odd watch, especially seeing as how hotly debated Will slapping Chris
Rock at the March 27 awards show has been — and the repercussions that have
followed for the Best Actor Oscar winner. Plus, Will's reaction stemmed from
Rock's joke about Jada's hair — and the RTT co-host has used the show to dis-
cuss her struggle with alopecia.
So while we expect "some healing to happen," as Jada likes to say, on that
front, what's showcased in the trailer are other famous guests. For the first time,
the Smith kids — co-host Willow, Jaden and Trey — sit down together to talk
about growing up Smith.
Celebrity guests also include the mother-daughter duo of Kim Basinger and
Ireland Baldwin. The Oscar winner discusses having agoraphobia and they both
talk about having anxiety. Basinger also touches on her high-profile divorce
from Alec Baldwin. Plus, Janelle Monáe appears, along with her mom, and
opens up about her dad's drug addiction to crack cocaine. And the mom of Miss
USA Cheslie Kryst, who died by suicide in January, speaks for the first time.
All the shows about con artists are having a moment and RTT capitalizes there

The Wealthiest Countries
Of the almost 200 countries on the planet, only a handful actually
generate a large enough income to be called the richest countries
in the world. The annual revenue of these countries is in the billions
and trillions of dollars. The GDP of these countries decides which
of them is the richest. Shall we have a look at one of the top richest
countries in the world?
Luxembourg
This tiny European nation has a population of just 600,000. The
unemployment rate is at a steady 5%. The economy of Luxem-
bourg is primarily based on steel production and international
banking. The dense forest also helps local businesses.
POPlively
However, with the Brexit in sight, there could be some major

instability moving forward. The GDP per capita is $109,190. Not
too shabby for such a small nation.
Most Beautiful Female

Billionaires
Its takes one several years of hard work in business to become a bil-
lionaire. Some of the young women presented in this list were lucky to
have inherited billions of dollars while others have accumulated their
multi-billion wealth from businesses. Interestingly, some of these
women are still young in their early twenties and yet they have a per-
sonal net worth higher than budgets of some developing countries. The
cash that they possess is enough for them to do whatever they want
and more despite being born into very rich families.
Margarita Louis-Dreyfus
If you are a fun of the actress Julia Louis – Dreyfus, then Mar-
garita’s last name should be popular to you, as the two are
cousins. After her husband’s death, she got $5.3 billion from
his will which saw her be the highest shareholder of Louis
Dreyfus Group of Commodities company. She was the wife of
POPlively
the late Robert Louis – Dreyfus.

Since 2011, she has assumed a key leadership role of Louis
Dreyfus company being the Chairperson and under her lead-
ership, the company has made tremendous profits. Indeed,
Margarita is a savvy businesswoman in her own right.

The Imitation Game (2014)
This historical drama stars Benedict Cumberbatch as Alan Turing, a cryptanalyst
who worked for the British government decrypting German intelligence messages dur-
ing WWII. The film follows his endeavors in trying to crack a Nazi code that is re-
garded to be uncrackable. The renowned code-breaking war hero, essentially pioneered
considered computer science and artificial intelligence. As a homosexual, he was also
criminally convicted and faced terrible treatment under U.K.'s homophobic law.
Re-Opening
Instead of jail time, he opted for hormone therapy and chemical castration. As the
final screen on the film reveals, however, after a year of therapy, he committed suicide
at 41-years old.

Changeling (2008)
Angelina Jolie stars in this 2008 film produced by Clint Eastwood. The film tells the
strange tale of a woman named Christine Collins, who lives in California in the 1920s.
When her missing son is returned to her, she realizes that it isn’t in fact her son, but
when she tries to explain this to authorities, she is labeled as insane and locked up in a
mental hospital. The real Christine Collins rose to prominence after her story made na-
tional headlines. It was discovered during the Trial Testimony of Gordon that her son
was ultimately killed in the Wineville Chicken Coop Murders led by a man named
Gordon Stewart Northcott. He was executed in San Quentin in 1930.
The film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 2008, where it opened to critical
acclaim. It was nominated for several awards at the 81st Academy Awards, including
Best Capital Actress in a Leading Role for Jolie’s portrayal of Collins.
