Andy Roddick on Serena Williams: “I’m in shock”

Andy Roddick has expressed his opinion on Serena Williams’ retirement. Roddick and Serena have known each other since they were eight and have always had a great relationship. Roddick told: “I have a strange feeling.

I had no inside information, so it came as a shock to me too. We knew this day would come sooner or later, but the news of her retirement from Ella left everyone speechless. In addition to having won a lot, Serena Williams has managed to break into people’s hearts.

I was lucky enough to have a front row seat at Serena’s show. We met at the Rick Macci Tennis Academy when I was 8-9 and have always had a great relationship. Serena and Venus changed our sport, becoming two of the greatest athletes ever.

Thanks to Richard for allowing these two girls to perform at the highest level. They did a lot for tennis.” The very young Emma Raducanu also paid tribute to Serena: “I think she has definitely changed the game. I think no player has been as dominant as she is.”

Seaworms leaving Endeavour’s timbers honeycombed, says expert

Seaworms known as the termites of the sea are attacking what is thought to be the wreck of Captain James Cook’s flagship the HMB Endeavour, leaving timbers honeycombed, according to a marine biologist.

Marine invertebrate expert Reuben Shipway, based in the United Kingdom, noticed the damage as soon as he dived on what remains of the wreck in the murky bottom of Newport Harbour, the bostonglobe is reporting.

Shipworms had torn through the timber, carving a labyrinth of tunnels leaving what looked like a honeycomb.

Shipway said the exposed pieces of wood on the harbor floor were being eaten from within by a species known as Teredo Navalis, or naval shipworm. “That damage is ongoing,” he said. “The shipworms’ guts are full of wood.”

He said there was also damage happening from the outside and that he had found evidence that a crustacean species called gribbles had eaten at the wood. About 10 to 15 percent of the ship that may be Endeavor is estimated to remain, the report says.

Teredo navalis, the shipworm, is a species of saltwater clam, a marine bivalve mollusc in the family Tereninidae.

The report is the latest episode in a stoush between the Australian National Maritime Museum and its research partner, the Rhode Island Maritime Archeology Project. In February, the Museum’s then chief executive Kevin Sumption said that the wreck was positively identified as the Endeavor. But the Project’s lead researcher, Kathy Abbass, promptly dismissed the claim as a “breach of contract” and “premature”.

She said the jury was still out and that their conclusions would be driven by proper scientific process rather than “Australian emotions or politics”. She is expected to release her findings shortly, possibly this month.

Daryl Karp, the museum’s new director and chief executive, told the herald last month the museum was now even more confident the wreck was the Endeavour.

Canberra Raiders edge St George Illawarra 24-22 to keep NRL finals hopes alive, Gold Coast beat Manly 44-24

Canberra has ended a tumultuous week in perfect fashion after holding on to beat St George Illawarra 24-22 to keep its season alive.

In Sunday’s later match, Gold Coast snapped a 10-match losing streak with a 44-24 win over Manly in Robina.

With coach Ricky Stuart banned from attending Canberra Stadium and speaking to his players as part of the fallout from his tirade at Penrith’s Jaeman Salmon, the Raiders survived a late scare to finish round 22 one match outside the top eight.

Canberra assistant coach Brett White said Stuart would have been on edge as the Dragons threatened a late comeback to steal the match.

“He wouldn’t want it to be about him, we’re still fighting for finals, we’re still punching away,” White said.

“The week is done, ‘Sticky’ (Stuart) will be back in on Wednesday, and it’s all finished as far as we’re concerned.

“He’s done his time and what Ricky’s done for this club… what he’s done for the community, that’s who he is.”

Dragons’ five-eighth Talatau Amone had looked to end the Raiders’ season with a late onslaught, completing his first career hat-trick before creating Tautau Moga’s 75th-minute try, only for Zac Lomax to push a potentially equalizing conversion attempt wide.

It allowed the Raiders to end round 22 still one match back from the eighth-placed Sydney Roosters with three rounds remaining before the finals.

Young fullback Xavier Savage had his fingerprints all over the Raiders’ win with two try-assists, including a sweet grubber kick that allowed winger Albert Hopoate to score.

With star prop Joe Tapine missing because of a rib injury, the Raiders’ forwards shared the workload.

They were led by Josh Papalii (140m), Ryan Sutton (110m) and Hudson Young (67m), who scored the opening try of the match from a Zac Woolford grubber kick.

“The leaders have been fantastic this week … that’s where the drive this week really came from and why we’re able to just keep things as normal,” White said.

“While there’s a chance, we’ll keep fighting and I just said to the boys we’ll just keep punching away.”

The loss removes the Dragons’ from the finals equation, having won just one of their past six matches in a disappointing end to their year.

They hit the front in the first half as Amone twice capitalized on soft Canberra defensive efforts to score tries, but could not stay with the Raiders when their intensity lifted.

“(Amone) was outstanding, it’s been a tough year for ‘Junior’, first year as a full-time starting five-eighth … in our most important game of the year I thought he really stood up which is great,” Dragons coach Anthony Griffin said.

“Against good sides playing away from home, we just gave them points too easily at different times and it was too hard to reel back.

“But that’s not to question the character we showed all day.”

Titans post drought-breaking win

The Gold Coast halted its losing streak and essentially ended Manly’s season with an upset win over the Sea Eagles.

Playing without inspirational captain Tino Fa’asuamaleaui due to the impending birth of his second child, the Titans ended a run of 10 consecutive defeats with Beau Fermor scoring a double in the much-needed victory.

The 20-point loss means the 10th-placed Sea Eagles are six points outside the top eight with three matches to play.

Given eighth-placed Sydney Roosters hold a significantly better differential, it would take a miraculous set of results for Des Hasler’s team to reach the finals.

Adding injury to insult for the Sea Eagles in Hasler’s 300th match as Manly coach, flying winger Jason Saab suffered a suspected ACL injury in the second half.

The match started ominously with Titans’ prop Jaimin Jolliffe spilling the ball on his first carry from the kick-off.

Haumole Olakau’atu thought he had got the visitors in front in the fifth minute when he crashed over but the try was disallowed after a video review showed Martin Tapau had knocked-on in the build-up.

Jolliffe made up for his early error, hanging onto an offload from Fa’asuamaleaui’s replacement Jarrod Wallace to give the Titans an early lead.

Reuben Garrick hit back for the Sea Eagles but Dylan Walker’s sin-binning in the 20th minute changed the match.

Walker had only just come onto the field from the interchange bench when he was sent to the sin-bin and placed on report for a high tackle on Titans’ winger Jojo Fifita.

The youngster scored off the resulting set to put Gold Coast back in front after a great cut-out pass by halfback Tanah Boyd.

Jake Trbojevic’s 25th-minute try, despite a desperate effort from Titans’ fullback Jayden Campbell to hold up the back rower, again leveled the scores with the Sea Eagles still down a player.

But Gold Coast took an eight-point lead into the break after Brian Kelly’s intercept try from a Daly Cherry-Evans pass and a penalty conversion from Boyd.

Desperate to avoid a second wooden spoon in four years, the Titans raced to their biggest lead of the game with tries to Fermor and AJ Brimson early in the second half, putting them 20 points clear with 25 minutes to play.

David Fifita then delivered the highlight play of the day, busting through Manly’s defense before sprinting clear to score.

Brad Parker and Tolutau Koula added some gloss to the scoreline for the visitors with late tries before Fermor’s late run through some tired Manly defense ensured Gold Coast move above Wests Tigers and off the bottom of the ladder.

Footy players run for cover Bisinella Oval in Lara

The lightning bolt hit a tree about 30 meters north of the oval, and close to parked cars.

John Mckinnon, a committee member of St Joseph’s club said he had “never seen anything like it” in over 40 years of involvement in community football.

He said the parents of one player were in a car meters away from where the lightning hit a gum tree and got a bad fright.

Mckinnon said the first two quarters of the game, which started at 2.10pm, were played in bright sunshine.

No one was concerned when, at the quarter time, St Joseph’s life member Ray Hoadley warned the umpires of a thunderstorm forecast for later in the game.

“He said, ‘there’s going to be some bad weather coming through’, and everyone goes, ‘yeah no worries Ray’. But he was checking the weather system on his phone and he was true to his word from him, ”Mckinnon said.

Mckinnon said during the third quarter, big black clouds blew in from the east, the temperature dropped about five degrees and “we didn’t get rain, we just got hail. It lasted for two or three minutes.”

“The lightning and thunder came and it was pretty horrific. All the players just ran off the ground.”

Mckinnon said the umpires suspended the game after an initial burst of thunder and lightning but the players came back onto the field after a few minutes.

“There was more lightning and thunder and they said no, it was too dangerous and came back off the field.”

That was when lightning hit the tree on the north or You-Yangs side, about 30 meters from the oval.

No one was injured and no property was damaged but the game was called off.

Lumina’s Smart Desk Will Change The Way You Work – Review Geek

Lumina Desk promotional image
light

This week, Lumina unveiled an upcoming product that could revolutionize working-from-home forever. The Lumina Desk feels like the desk of the future that we should have had a decade ago.

The star of the show is the desk’s 24-inch OLED screen integrated into the tabletop. This screen shows you information from apps such as Google Calendar, Google News, Slack, Spotify, Twitter, Instagram, Robinhood, Health, Messages, Clock, Weather, and Todoist. But, you can probably expect more compatible apps to be announced before the desk’s mid-2023 release.

The integrated display is a non-touch screen to avoid accidental inputs from items placed on the surface. You’ll control the display through the computer you connect to the desk.

This standing desk measures 29.5 inches wide and 59 inches long, so you’ll have room for everything you need. Plus, you can adjust your height from a low of 30 inches to 47 inches tall. And its aluminum alloy and stainless steel construction and anti-glare reinforced glass tabletop surface mean it can take a good deal of punishment.

Desks are often cluttered with devices that need charging. Lumina has you covered there too. The Lumina Desk features two 20×20-inch wireless charging pads on either side of the integrated display, as well as six power outlets and six USB-C ports tucked away in its 826 cubic inches of cable management space.

A desk this revolutionary will set you back a few bucks, though. Lumina hasn’t disclosed the price of the desk yet, but states in the product’s FAQ section that it should fall in the “mid-$1000 range.” If you’re ready to get the desk of the future today, you can get on the waiting list and make a deposit through Lumina’s website.

High school sweetheart’s heartbreaking tribute, NRL news 2022

Paul Green’s high school sweetheart has shared a heartbreaking tribute to the former rugby league coach after his tragic death rocked the NRL community this week.

The 49-year-old was found dead at his Brisbane home on Thursday morning, the day after his son’s ninth birthday. It has been confirmed he took his own life from him.

The Courier Mail reports Green called his friend and longtime manager George Mimis at 4.30pm on Wednesday to speak about his son’s birthday celebrations.

The News Corp publication also reports the footy legend’s wife Amanda found him unresponsive at their home after returning from doing pilates at the gym.

Green’s death comes 11 months after he was sacked as head coach of the Maroons following Queensland’s loss in last year’s State of Origin series, which included a 50-6 win for the Blues.

Speaking on Gold Coast’s 92.5 Triple M Breakfast show, radio announcer Ali Plath fought back tears while grieving the loss of her first love.

“My heart is breaking today for his wife Amanda and his beautiful kids and obviously his parents, and his four siblings,” she said.

“Paul and I went to high school together, he was my first love. You only get one first love.

“We were together when I was in Year 12 for a year and then we split up. I had kids with (former partner) Mark and when that didn’t work out, Paul and I got back together.

“We then did nine years of on-off, long-distance, de facto… I guess we were that couple that I think our family and friends were so much happier than we were when we finally split up.

“Paul was a wonderful stepdad to my two older kids Jesse and Jake when we all lived in Sydney together when I finally had the courage to move them.

“For him to swallow his pride and I guess take my kids under his wing, I really didn’t appreciate how big that was at the time. It’s a big responsibility taking on someone else’s family.

“Paul was extremely loyal, he was highly intelligent — even though I used to tell him I was smarter than him. When I was in Year 12, he was two years older than me, and he was getting up for not doing my schoolwork.

“He just had such a great sense of fun as well as being so capable. If Paul said to you, ‘I’m going to be a pilot’, (you knew) he was going to be a pilot. And he did – he was a commercial pilot.

“My mum let him take me to Hervey Bay in this mosquito airplane when he was doing his training. That’s how capable Paul was. You trusted him, you knew he could do it, I never doubted him.

“He was just one of those people who you knew you could rely on. (As an NRL player), he was one of those players you could count on and he would give his all of him.

“I can’t believe that he’s done this, I can’t believe this has happened.

“That’s not Paul. I’m actually in complete and utter shock. I only spoke to him a couple of months ago.

“It’s horrible.”

Meanwhile, Green’s family is still coming to terms with the footy legend’s passing and revealed plans for a celebration of his life.

Green’s brother Rick told The Sunday Mail the family had come together to plan a public funeral, expected to be held August 23 or 30 at Kougari Oval, the home of the Wynnum-Manly Seagulls, a team Green both played with and coached to premiership glory.

But Rick also revealed the family was struggling to come to terms with the enormous loss.

“Everyone is feeling overwhelmed,” he told The Sunday Mail.

“There’s certainly a lot of stories that we’re sharing about our times with Paul but as we reflect on those good times, there’s a great sadness at his passing.

“It’s still very raw and difficult to process.”

The family had earlier released a statement after the news broke of Green’s death.

“Today we are devastated,” the statement began.

“We have lost a devoted husband, loving father and wonderful brother and son. We cannot find the words that would come close to expressing our feeling, however we would like to extend our thanks to those who have reached out to us with their love and support.

“Paul was loved by so many and we know that this news will generate immense interest, however at this time we ask for privacy.

“Our family is still trying to understand this tragedy and we request space and time as we come to terms with this loss. Thank you.”
