Sources familiar with Apple's plans tell BuzzFeed News that the company intends to announce its next-generation Apple TV in September, at the same event at which it typically unveils its new iPhones. The device itself is pretty much as we described it to you in March, sources say, but "more polished" after some additional tweaks. Expect a refreshed and slimmer chassis and new innards; Apple's A8 system on chip; a new remote that sources say has been "drastically improved" by a touch-pad input; an increase in on-board storage; and an improved operating system that will support Siri voice control. Crucially, the new Apple TV will debut alongside a long-awaited App Store and the software development kit developers need to populate it.
While launching new Apple TV hardware apart from a new subscription TV service might seem counterintuitive, it does make strategic sense if Apple doesn't yet have the deals in place to field such a service. Certainly, Apple doesn't need to debut the two things together. By rolling out the new Apple TV and SDK ahead of the service, Apple is giving developers some lead time to develop compelling apps for the device — and taking good advantage of a holiday shopping season that will likely drive sales, further growing the Apple TV installed base to which it will someday sell streaming service subscriptions.

FC Sion 0-2 Athletic Club: Lions Earn First Win Under Cuco Ziganda
Posted on July 15, 2017 by @InsideAthletic	Leave a comment
Athletic Club played their second friendly of the summer on Saturday when they took on FC Sion in Switzerland. The Lions put two goals past their hosts and had a strong defensive showing to win 2-0 earning their first victory under Cuco Ziganda. Once again the team used two completely different sets of lineups so that as many players as possible would get minutes and it turned out to be a great showing for the Basques.

The first half was dominated by Athletic who also enjoyed the bulk of the scoring chances. Sabin Merino had two chances within the first half hour, heading the ball over the crossbar once and sending a left-footed shot straight at the keeper later on. Aritz Aduriz and Ager Aketxe also had their chances, but the shots were left wanting. After third minutes of action the Lions would get a bit of bad news as Aymeric Laporte was forced to leave the pitch after feeling some discomfort in his left hamstring. He went into the locker room with an ice pack on the area, but it did not seem to be anything serious.
Sion also had a few sporadic chances but the Athletic defense did well to deal with their attacks. The Lions were able to break the deadlock before the halftime whistle when Aduriz was able to beat the keeper to give his side a 1-0 lead. Upon review it was clear that the goal had actually been scored by Sion's Zverotic who was then credited with the own goal. Still, it was a deserved lead going into the break.
Cuco Ziganda once again started the second half with a complete lineup change, except for Xabi Etxeita who had come in for Laporte in the first half. The lineup now consisted of Unai Simon, Eneko Boveda, Unai Nunez, Xabi Etxeita, Mikel Balenziaga, Javi Eraso, Ander Iturraspe, Unai Lopez, Raul Garcia, Inigo Cordoba, and Asier Villalibre. Despite the changes, the Lions remained in complete control of the game and it was once again Inigo Cordoba who stole the show.
Cuco Ziganda won his first game as Athletic Club manager (Athletic Club)
Cordoba's pace and ability to beat defenders caused a lot of problems for Sion who didn't appear to have an answer for him. Not too long into the half, the winger would provide his second assist in as many games when he set up Raul Garcia for a beautiful goal. Athletic was in the driver's seat and in complete control as the match edged closer to its completion. Eventually Garcia would be taken off for Iker Muniain to get some minutes, but there was little action left as the whistle eventually blew with the Basques having won 2-0. Not only was it their first victory of the summer, it was also the first win under manager Cuco Ziganda.
The loss to Basel earlier in the week showed that players were still shaking off the rust of summer vacation. While there was still some loosening up against Sion, the team looked much better as a whole. Sabin Merino, Ager Aketxe, and Inigo Cordoba all put in solid performances while there wasn't really anyone who stood out as having a poor performance. The Lions will now be preparing for Monday's friendly against Fenerbahce which will conclude their Festival of the Alps. After returning home on 18 July, there won't be much time left until the season starts as Athletic will take on Dinamo Bucuresti on 27 July in the first leg of their Europa League qualifier.

Cyclists needed to tour North Lincolnshire in aid of Scunthorpe Samaritans
Members from Ongo have signed up for the event

Scunthorpe Samaritans is calling on cyclists to get on their bikes for this year's Tour of North Lincs Sportive and help raise vital funds.
A team of six from North Lincolnshire housing provider Ongo is among those who have already signed up for the event in September to raise money for the charity, and Scunthorpe Samaritans is hoping others will join in.
This year the event takes place on Sunday, September 9, which has added significance for Scunthorpe Samaritans as it is the day before World Suicide Prevention Day, which means the charity will not only be raising funds on the day but will be raising awareness of those who are struggling to cope.
The Tour of North Lincs Sportive is being hosted by North Lincolnshire Council and Curly's Athletes and Sportive HQ. It will begin in Central Park and cyclists can choose to take part in rides over 23, 60, or 103 miles.
Scunthorpe Samaritans is asking people to sign up to take part in the event and raise money, choosing how far they would like to ride.
Rachel Johnson, director of Scunthorpe Samaritans, said: "We're inviting anybody who is interested in cycling and who would like to support Scunthorpe Samaritans to get in touch with us and sign up to do a sponsored ride to raise money and awareness for Scunthorpe Samaritans.
Andy is expecting cycling along the Humber Bank at South Ferriby to be challenging
"This year the event coincides with World Suicide Prevention Day, so we will be working to raise money and awareness, and by riding, together, we can help save lives.

"Eight hundred thousand people in the world take their own life by suicide each year and 6,000 in the UK. World Suicide Prevention Day is organised by the World Health Organisation and the International Association for Suicide Prevention with the aim of preventing suicide," she added.
Andy McFadden, operations manager homes and gardens at Ongo, is one of the cyclists taking part, and it will be his second time cycling in the tour after completing it last year.
"We're really looking forward to raising money for Scunthorpe Samaritans as it's a great local cause, and one we support throughout the year here at Ongo.
"Our team's made up of six Ongo staff members. Four of us are riding 103 miles, and the other two members will be covering 60 miles," said Andy, who has been cycling for four years.
"Throughout North Lincolnshire we have almost 10,000 homes, so we'll definitely pass loads on the way," he added.
Andy is expecting cycling along the Humber Bank at South Ferriby to be challenging and is also looking forward to pedalling past the River Trent and through to Messingham.
Jono Frary, of Curly's Athletes and Sportive HQ, said: "We're really happy to welcome the ONGO team to our event and hope that we can encourage other riders to join in supporting the Scunthorpe Samaritans to raise funds and awareness about the great work they do.
"It's a real challenge for the team but on beautiful routes with lots of support and well stocked feed stations."
The cost to sign up for the sponsored ride in aid of Scunthorpe Samaritans is £60 which includes a cycling shirt, and which will be refunded if you raise £120.

Above Sandii Lewis will use her fellowship to undertake training in Natural Sequence Farming.
Sandii Lewis works with the five Landcare groups in the Eastern Mallee Landcare Consortium. The groups she supports cover an area of approximately 500,000 hectares.
Sandii's first task when she took on the Landcare Facilitator role in 2014 was to find the areas where she could best help her Landcare groups. Sandii identified governance as a major issue so she developed a series of instructions and policies for each group and assisted them with implementation.
Sandii's highly developed skills as a Landcare facilitator helped her to identify individuals in each group and to assist them with the task of group rejuvenation by building their skills in grant writing, reporting and project management. This has led to all of the groups performing better and becoming more stable and confident when looking to the future.
Landcare in the Mallee has been challenged by an ageing population, declining volunteer numbers and farmers leaving the land, making it harder for groups to maintain enthusiasm and momentum. Investors are also asking more of grant recipients when it comes to reporting and data collection, which has caused a further decline in membership as groups struggle with the increased level of administration and new compliance requirements.
Sandii has tackled these issues head on. She has changed the thinking around reporting and established standardised processes to streamline data collection.
"To my mind Landcare group members are mainly 'doers'. When they understand why they are being asked to do something and how to do it, they get on and get it done. Getting people working together rather than in isolation has also been really invigorating for groups," Sandii said.
Sandii has a proactive approach to environmental issues. She has assisted the Kooloonong-Natya Landcare Group with a project to tackle the invasive Hudson pear cacti, arranged for a recycling facility to collect used grain bags from farmers and ensured her groups are more successful when making grant applications by streamlining administration and compliance requirements.
Sandii is also the current president of Sustainable Living in the Mallee, a voluntary natural resource management group that works closely with local schools to facilitate studies in sustainability and environmental awareness, as well as engaging the urban community in sustainable living methods.
Sandii will use her fellowship to undertake training in Natural Sequence Farming (NSF). Climate change predictions for the Mallee are for warmer temperatures and less rainfall but increased risks of flooding, erosion and waterlogging.
Sandii believes that bringing the NSF model of managing water flows to the Mallee will provide farmers with a valuable tool for sustainable farm and environmental management.
Hugh Mitchell, award judge and son of the late Heather Mitchell, said Sandii's Landcare work in the Mallee showed a great spirit of purpose.

Finding a periodontist is easy. But, choosing a good one is difficult. It can be a big problem if it is your first time to work with one. The choices can be overwhelming. To help you make the right choice, here are some tips on how you should choose the best periodontist for your needs.
Your periodontist should be a graduate of a 4-year undergraduate college degree. Also, they must be a Doctor of Medical Dentistry degree holder.
When checking their dental educational background, find out where they completed the courses. Make sure they are from an accredited school. Formal training is also crucial. It may last for 3 to 7 years.
After their studies and training, their next goal is to pass the licensure examination, and get a license. When choosing a periodontist, make sure they hold a valid license.
Find out how long the periodontist has been working. The longer they have been practicing their profession, the better your experience will be. When talking to one, ask them when they started to offer their services.
– Periodontal plastic surgery procedures like gingival sculpting, ridge augmentation, and soft tissue grafting.
Every periodontist nowadays has a website for their clinic. Thus, you may likely see their clinic on the review websites. Reading reviews online will help you check how good their service is.
The opinions of their previous patients matter. These people will tell you both the good and bad sides of that periodontist based on their personal experiences. Find another periodontist if many of the previous patients expressed frustration in the reviews. Of course, your own experience will be great if theirs were good.
Reading reviews online is always a must. This will help you find a periodontist who can fulfill your needs and expectations.
Does the cost of their services match the quality? A good periodontist will provide you good service at a reasonable cost. If your preferred periodontist is good, charging you with hidden fees is the last thing they will do.
Also, a good periodontist will accept your insurance. If they do, find out what it can cover. Feel free to ask the periodontist about these things before you decide.
A periodontist is one of those professionals who can help you ensure your health and wellness. Choose your periodontist well. That is how you can ensure your success in dealing with one.

eSource 119 Microbial Infection of Your Fuel or Lubricating Oil
On Earth, life finds a way. It truly is amazing the diversity of life on our home world. It is estimated that there are almost 2 million different species on Earth and that number grows daily through new discoveries of existing life forms as well as new life forms developing.
eSource ArchiveSubscribe to eSourceFollow Us
Each species has its own characteristics. Living organisms require an ecosystem to survive. The ecosystem provides nutrition, protection, and the opportunity for mobility in order to find more food, more protection, and the potential to reproduce with success. Life on Earth can be found in all environments, from the ultra-hot sulfur vents below the ocean floor to Antarctica; life seems to find a way. Therefore, it is no wonder that your oil sump and fuel tanks harbor life forms. The tank provides a food source, protection, and the fluid provides mobility. In a lubricated system or a fuel tank, bacteria feed on oil or fuel hydrocarbons and double their numbers every 10 to 20 minutes. One bacterium could divide into half a million within 12 hours.
All organisms require other organisms to provide a symbiotic relationship. Even humans require various forms of bacteria to stay alive. Microbes and fungus found in oil sumps and fuel tanks are no different. The following are life sources that might be found in your fuel or oil sump:
SULPHATE REDUCING BACTERIA (SRB)
SRB's are a specific group of bacteria feed on carbon, not fuel or oil hydrocarbons, and require the activity of other microbes in a concert. Aerobic (in the presence of oxygen) or anaerobic (without oxygen) bacteria have a combined effect. The aerobic bacteria (sulphate oxidizing) create a film to consume the oxygen first. This allows the anaerobic (sulphate reducing) bacteria to thrive.
SRB's reduce sulphates and produce hydrogen sulfide (a lethal gas). They are directly involved with many microbial corrosion reactions and can cause sulfide souring of stored fuels and oils. They changes the pH creating an acidic environment which promotes corrosion. They are hard to rid because they form an aggressive adhesion to the tank walls. They produce a sludgy by-product with a strong Sulphur odor (the rotten egg smell from hydrogen sulfide).
IRON REDUCING BACTERIA
These also contribute to corrosion, eating steel and reducing iron or iron alloys to an oxide through a chemical reaction.
Yeasts prefer an acidic environment which is produced by the aforementioned SRB's. Their population can more then double in a few hours.
Fungus growth is typically seen as a vegetative mass plume at the water-petroleum interface.
All of these life forms can cause damage to your oil or fuel by introducing solid as well as fluid contamination, corrosion, and filter blockage. Since micro-organisms also can feed upon the additives within the oil. The functionality of the oil and fuel may be impaired and its viscosity altered. There is an increased in the acid content (lowering of the pH) and increased potential for emulsification and corrosion. Often corrosion is seen explaining why tanks will corrode from the inside-out.
Microbial growth is not just relegated to a fuel tank. Microbial infections can occur in the water phase associated with the lubricant as well. This can occur in hydraulics, gearboxes, turbines, and even crankcase oils in wet engines, particularly those with water-cooled pistons. Filters clog, organic acids are formed, and the oils tend to emulsify.
Sources of microbial contamination within the lubricant are atmospheric air, water from leaks and condensation, the fuel, cooling water, and even seawater. Cooling water in particular is a biological source contaminant of crankcase oil even at operating temperatures ever since the use of chromates as corrosion inhibitors were banned. The use of chromates acted as an effective anti-microbial biocide as did the increased sulfur levels of fuel. With the advent of ULSD and the reduction of Sulfur to under 15ppm, the natural bio-resistance of fuel is no longer present.
As always, a preventive approach is cheaper than a cure. There have been very few microbial infection issues reported in systems having high alkalinity. Bugs do not like a basic environment. Being able to control acid as well as eliminating water will help control a biological infestation. This means controlling oxidation will control acid production. At full operating temperatures, lubricating oils tend to be self-sterilizing. Yet there still remains the possibility of infestation in the tank or sump. If you do have an infection, proper mitigation is required which may include complete emptying followed by sterilization. Consult your fuel or oil supplier for direction.

When you think of California, Redding may not be the first city that comes to mind. But that's what makes it great. This town is tucked away in Northern California, away from the traffic of Los Angeles and tourists of San Francisco. It could even be referred to as a hidden gem in the state–home to only 100,000 people. Those who live in Redding know the city for it's natural beauty, community lifestyle, and potential for economic growth. If you're ready for a fresh start, consider these reasons to relocate to Redding, California.
The biggest advocates for this city are those keen to Redding's outdoor lifestyle. The town is centered around the iconic Sundial Bridge, where walking and biking trails offer a fresh breath of air. With other parks in the area as well, you can expect to be active. The Sacramento River runs through the heart of the city, and there's additional explorations to be made at surrounding areas such as the Whiskeytown Lake, Mt. Shasta, and Burney Falls. Even the ocean is close enough for a day trip.
But you can't appreciate the fullness of Redding by only driving through the city. Get to know the community. Redding is the type of town where you always see familiar faces and the waitress knows your usual order. Apart from the norm, it's a small, conservative town that differentiates from the domineering cities in California. Those who call Redding home are familiar with a slower pace and down to earth lifestyle. People come to explore California, but stay for the community.
During the past 5 years, the previously struggling economy has begun to see signs of life and growth. The downtown area has become a place worth going to with new restaurants and local shops. The culture is picking up momentum. There's been an increase in local business, creative arts, and entrepreneurs in the area. For what used to be a mundane town, these trends are starting to change the hearts and minds of those who have been living here 10+ years.
This growth could even provoke capitalists with a reason to consider investing in Redding. According to Zillow.com, the home value in Redding has increased 6.6% over the past year and forecasts for 2017 are showing continued growth. The median home in Redding has reached a value of $239,600 and looking back to only January of 2014, the median home value was $211,000. These numbers are showing substantial market trends of homes for sale in Redding over the past 3 years and this improvement is predicted to continue.
Thinking about relocating? You're not alone. The 2017 real estate trends show promising numbers for not only Redding, but the entire US economy. According to research from the National Association of Realtors, we're likely to see an increase in demand for properties in 2017, and existing-home sales are predicted to reach 6 million this year. Svenja Gudell, chief economist for Zillow, has also calculated that home prices will certainly increase. Much of this success is attributed to millennials becoming established in their careers, being better qualified for mortgages, and reaching the age of marriage and children.
Some of these trends are happening across the country, but one differentiating factor in Redding is the average cost of living. Redding comes in at 9% lower than the state's average for that metric. That makes Redding an attractive place to relocate to compared to monumental costs in other Californian cities.
Did you know more people live in California than the entire country of Canada? The average year-round temperature in the state is 59 degrees, which pulls people off the couch and to the outdoors. But there's more to California than the weather and the 800 miles of coastline–it's the culture.
Since the 1800's, California has represented the hope of a new life. It's a place where people go to dream, take risks, and find a new beginning. It started with early settlers searching for gold, and 200 years later, it's still a characteristic embodied by the state.
Today, people are drawn to the west coast by the food, music, and technology. The significant agricultural industry has made it a top attraction for foodies. The wine in Napa Valley is sought after as some of the best in the world. Artists, actors, and musicians in California are leading the creative industry across the country. And Fortune 500 companies like Apple, Google, and Facebook have chosen to make Silicon Valley their hub for innovation.
California's culture is a breeding ground for possibilities. This is the secret sauce behind the state that draws people in and can't be found anywhere else.
If you're looking to relocate, consider these reasons to make Redding your home.

Budgeting accurately for your long-term IT needs requires an intimate knowledge of technology and IT trends. Your IT budget must take into account the depreciation of your IT equipment, replacement values, and the cost of procuring evolving solutions that are shaping your industry. Do you have the technical knowledge to calculate your IT budget, or are you safer contracting an IT consultant?
If you're hiring someone to help calculate your IT budget, why not use your regular IT provider? If you've ever worked with a new consulting service before, then you know the familiarization stage takes time, and how valuable it is to not have to pay for introductions. Having your IT service provider double as your IT consultant means you're getting professional advice from a company that's already overseeing your IT infrastructure.
By having regular conversations with your IT provider about your company's technology needs, you'll stay current with the latest IT trends that can improve operations. You don't want to fall behind your competition out of ignorance.
• Don't think that IT consulting is a silver bullet to help you out of a jam. Think of it as sage advice to put your business on the right track for future success.
• Don't confuse responsibilities. Before moving forward with your IT consultant, clearly lay out what their responsibilities are compared to your own. Have this discussion before signing an agreement.
• Don't take your eye off the end goal. With so many moving pieces in an IT budget, it can be easy to get stuck on the details and lose sight of your main goals.
• Be as clear as possible. Remember that accurate communication is key to every consultation service. If your consultant isn't clear about what you want, you'll end up with the wrong advice and frustration for everyone. Speak candidly, and keep communication lines open.
• Make an outline of your goals and expectations before you get started with your IT consultation. Set a timeframe. This helps your IT consultant to help you accomplish your goals in a timely and satisfactory manner.
• Take the time needed to find the perfect fit. Your IT consultant advises you on some very important matters. You need someone in whom you have total confidence; from a company with a verifiable track record. Check around. Take your time.
• Recognize that you are the decision maker. Get the best advice you can, make the decision, and own it. An IT consultant can only advise you so far in making your decision; you're the one who gets the praise or criticism that comes with being the lead decision maker.
• Hire people for the skills that you don't have, so you don't find yourself stuck in a situation you don't understand.
Now that you have a good idea of what to look for in your next IT consultant, give Quikteks Tech Support a call at (973) 882-4644. We offer the expert IT consulting you need, and we stand by our reputation.

This is an exceptional rootsystem that not only reduces size but also increases disease resistance. Because Port Orford cedar resists acid, it became prime stock for storage-battery separators. In addition to supplying all of the above needs, Port Orford cedar has long been the favorite wood of archers. Not for their bows, though, but for arrows. Besides straight grain, the wood has strength combined with lightness.

A SG version of Draymond Green with a better shot.
Playmaking
Offensive polish
Intangibles
Quickness
Denzel valentine is one of the more polished players in this draft. He does a lot of things very well, such as passing, rebounding, and shooting. He has a very high basketball IQ and uses it to make up for his lack of athleticism with a series of crafty moves. He was the team leader for one of the best teams in the country and has grown as a player each season. Even though he is listed at SG, he played more PG for the Spartans. In the NBA his lack of quickness may hinder some of his play making abilities. His biggest weakness is his defense, he has never been known as a defender at Michigan State and has trouble sticking with more athletic wings. How much of a defensive liability is he going to be in the NBA? Overall Valentine is a good prospect that will help any team, but would be better off if he was drafted into an already good system.

YouTube is great for so many reasons - mostly the ability to play any song on demand for free. In light of the all of the free streaming music (Spotify, Mog and Rdio) services out there, Youtube has been doing this for a long time. Create playlists, share music with your friends, watch videos on your iPhone or a device connected to your TV - you can take the free music wherever you want.
I recently found a video for 'How to Live Alone (With the Dogs)' by The Pernice Brothers. Since their collection is hard to find (at least on Amazon and iTunes, I haven't called Laurie's in Lincoln Square yet), you can imagine how excited I was to be able to find it, play it several times and even share it with friends.
After watching the video, I wanted to leave a comment telling the world where I first heard it! But what should have been an easy task wasn't a good experience at all.

"Questions from a former gymnast" by Allison Fink
Posted on February 15, 2018 November 24, 2018
The author as a competitive gymnast
I'm a former competitive gymnast who was training to be elite until I was 16, with a decade of competition behind me. I quit because I had a nagging shoulder injury that would not go away and I was exhausted–emotionally, mentally, and physically. I stopped caring and wasn't able to do basic elements I'd been able to do easily a year before. And my school started offering International Baccalaureate (IB), which I really wanted to do. Because I couldn't be in the gym 30 hours a week and also complete IB, it was a convenient excuse for me to quit. My coaches' style, you could say, was similar to the stories you've heard about the Karolyis' style–"toughening girls up" with denial of our physical pain, psychological games, and insistence that we were too fat. To be clear, though, none of my coaches or doctors ever sexually abused me.
For all women who trained as competitive gymnasts, especially those whom Larry Nassar or other doctors or coaches abused, I have only two questions:
1) Would you put your daughter in gymnastics today?
Shawn Johnson East, the Olympic gymnast who won several medals in Beijing in 2008, released a video on January 23. In it, she said that considering the current state of USA Gymnastics, if she had a daughter, she would not put her into the sport. I certainly would not. The sport, like so many other sports in the US, values accomplishments above athletes' health, safety, and well-being. This organization, like so many other arenas in which women are objectified, appears to value men's careers above girls' health and sanity. I would never want a daughter of mine to think her worth was tied to the color of a medal around her neck, a medal she must win at the cost of her psyche.
2) What changes must USAG undergo to make it safe for girls to participate?
I have seen many suggestions I like: Have former gymnasts serve as USAG board members and make it a requirement for girls in gymnastic to stay in school until age 16, for example. I'd also require coaches to take continuing education on at least the latest injury-prevention techniques and Pilates. But what I really want is for the women whose voices were silenced when they were children to stand up and say how they would change it. When I think of my own rage at not having been heard when I was hurt or scared, I imagine the rage of these women, whose trust was betrayed in the most horrific way, must be tenfold. I truly want the hundreds of women who have spoken up about their abuse to show us the way forward for gymnastics, if there is one.
Note: A certain ACM editor knows of a young gymnast (left), who ended her competitive career because practice was taking too much of her time. (She enjoyed competing.) [Photo by Linc Cohen]

Allison Kaplan Fink is a former gymnast from Aiken, SC who competed in USAG Levels 4-10 from 1991 to 2001. She lives in Austin, TX with her husband, Jeff, and works for the county as an urban planner.

This project was created on 07/09/2015 and last updated 2 months ago.
Reverse engineering and develop a new and open source firmware for the Worx Landroid robotic mower family. Add new features. Smarter algoritm. Add GPS for smarter navigation.
DB275 models uses a NXP LPC1768 arm Cortex-m3.
DB504 models are very similar to DB275 but uses a NXP LPC1788 arm cortex-m3.
DB297 models - please share images!
LIS352AR or similar 3-axis accelerometer http://www.farnell.com/datasheets/1698882.pdf chip has marking "327 35AR"
The onboard bootloader checks USB after memory stick after firmware file and flashes the its contents.
Custom firmware does not overwrite the bootloader, so it is possible to revert to original firmware.
Also possible to use KEIL-MDK.
Please feel free to donate money.
I currently own thrr landdroid's. Two 791e 2015, 794e 2014 - with DB275 motherboard and one wg791e.1 (2016) with DB504.
1 × Brave owner In case the mower starts chasing your pets and begins to burn under your car!
There have been some discussion over batteries and charging down in the comments. I'll publish images of inside of battery.
Cells are Sony 18650 1900mAh. Thanks to Jan B!
prefix = sys.argv if len(sys.argv)>=3 else "."
The right one, its a ST L3GD20H, Thanks Ajlitt!
I've been working on mapping 2016 year model of worx, they use DB504 motherboard. Usually .pck-firmware, its a container and the start is plain-text. It's possible to do a splitter for that but I use dd to copy out the firmware.
Should we assume they still uses LPC and that this might be an LPC11U6x?
So far I've been developing and reversing DB275 (2015 WG790/791/794) It seams all 2016 has DB504.
WG796e (2015) uses DB297 which I haven't seen yet. So if any one wants to send in pictures of that motherboard it would be very appreciated!
I don't know much about earlier versions.
The blue is probe directly on the boundary wire.
So if negative measurement is before or after the positive, then you know if you are inside or outside wire.
p0.21 select amplification or something, you can detect if you are within 1 meter of the wire or not.
p0.22 probably selects between left and right sensor.
And if you are close to the sensors you get some weird artifacts in the measurement, longer pulse, and even more than one pulse. It seams this is following a pattern and it might be possible to user and detect the distance to the wire at 0cm, 10cm, 20cm and 100cm.
And the last one, wire right on top of the sensor.
I could use some owners help. I would like to have your firmware-files!
I need to see how big of a difference it is between models.
95% of the pin-out is finished. There are some questions still to be answered. Also the models with WIFI, How do they look inside? I would love to see some pictures of the main board in that one!
One guess would be that the un-populated IC nead RTC battery is a SPI flash but not confirmed.
Next important step would be to understand the how the wire sensor works.
P0.4 + P0.5 GPIO Output, Selector ADC4 input -> accelerometer LIS352AR pin S0, S1.
P0.17 SPI MISO, LCD <- Unused? NC?
P1.22 Unknown, NC? USB Power on??
P1.23 GPIO Output, Initiate Charger, Keeps charger in RED mode. if low charger shows green light.
P1.25 GPIO Output, Keep high for PCB Power on.
I think I've solved the mystery!
Package is the same, same 3 analog outputs.
I am trying to figure out how the guide wire sensors work.
There are 4 inputs (digital), P0.7, P0.8, 0.9, P0.10) that the original firmware has put on extint3, two trigger on Falling edge, the other two on Raising edge. Probably and each on each sensor.
There are also two control pins (digital).
One is for Range, or Amplification, P0.21.
If I'm close I get triggers regardless of p0.21 state, and then I am far away from guide wire I only get triggers then P0.21 is High.
The other control pin is so far unknown, P0.22. It changes the output on P0.7-0.10. I cannot figure out how this works yet.
The Falling edge's also show if the mower is looking perpendicular to the guide wire; P0.8, P0.10 is high.
If the mower looks 'Downrange', P0.10 is high, P0.8 low.
If the mower looks 'forward', the opposite, P0.8 High, P0.10 Low.
So, any suggestions? My next move is probobly to try to make a logfile of all the triggers, there are around 10-20 per second.
Hi, I have broken my charging station of Worx Landroid S. Does any one have a reverse enginneering to build the electronic card.
hi, im the owner if the older model worx landroid wg795e, unregistrated, wothout usb port, only with 10pin port. I need to reset the pin as i forgot it, can u help me?
hi did u get help to reset the code? my worx have forgotten the pin..
The first issue was that the power supply was soaked wet, having caused an internal shortcut. Using a separate PSU, I could get to the "base flashing green" state. I have access to the lawnmower's menu but the motors (wheels and blades) don't start, and I thought maybe that was because no boundary wire was detected nearby.
As I don't have the original boundary wire, I just plugged a piece of random wire between IN and OUT and the PSU overcurrent protection triggered immediately (over the stated max 1.5A) !
I've been reading up on this project and it looks really exciting! I'm wondering how far you have come with this? Is it possible to interface directly with the steering of the mower? If I could access forward/back/turning directly, I think I might build a DGPS or similar location system to get much better cutting.
Also, is there anyone experimenting with alternative batteries to get faster charge rates, giving way more up time and thus larger cutting areas?
ive extended the battery pack with another battery pack, basically, same lineup as original, then connect + to + and - to -. also, ive upgraded the batterypack to 2600 mAh instead, which in total gives me runtime of 2.5 times normal, of course charging will take longer, but so far im only seeing aprox 60% increase in charging time.
do all Landroid's return home in this way or do som have a guide wire like the Husqvarna?
This is great work! I have a parallel interest in that I'd like to identify what the on board processor's I/O port functions are so that I can cut signal output traces and replace the processor with my own CPU/WiFi/GPS. Has anyone identified the I/O line functions of the board's processor? Don't own a Landroid yet but this looks like it has lots of potential. (Edit) Great! I found your mapping. Superb!
How is the new model SO500i differring from the previous models? It comes with Wifi, hence it might be a good idea to check backward compatibility. Has anyone tried this one?
I'd love to hear from anyone that has successfuly added wifi. I'm happy to order the development board if that's the correct one?
Same here, finally have my 794E up and running so wifi would be an added bonus.
Hello, Is there any new clue about which wifi module can be solder and if it works ?
In regards to positioning, there is an evaluation board available from DigiKey for Decawave boards. They'll allow you to setup a fixed constellation and have a beacon on your mower to do ranging/positioning. Just FYI.
Examined the contacts of the (nonexisting) Wifi with an analyzer and got these results.
At this time I have no clue what to do for Wifi on my non WiFi model.
all other codes: "model unknown"
Hey guys I just bought the WG794 without wifi, I'm wondering if anyone has been able to get the WiFi working on this unit? Second I spoke with Works and I told that spring 2017 they should have the WiFi avalible in the US. Also they can't ship to CA. If anyone can help with the the WiFi that would be great, if not I plan on returning it and waiting. Thanks guys.
I'm trying to resurrect a 794E that i purchased and I've been able to charge it manually but i've just taken delivery of a new base station for it. I need to source a charger though so wanted to ask should it be 24v or 28v? Also the connector looks like there is no polarity on it as it seems reversible, can anyone confirm? Lastly with the boundary wire will any boundary wire work?
I'm looking to integrate my non Wifi WG790E with my home automation system... Does anyone know if it's possible to fit the Wifi module, failing that, tap into the USB to send commands to the unit?
Interesting project. I have a 796E.1 without wifi. I can see redpine is delivering the wifi modules, but which one exactly. From reading the comments, upgrading to wifi would required 1 wifi module and a change of dip switch settings under the grey plastic (set to 0001?).
Did you try any of the modules?
I'm now the proud owner of a WG796E.1 and want to update the software to V2.21. It sees the USB drive but the mower doesn't seem to find the update file and shows the PIN screen after some seconds without performing a update. I have correctly formated the USB drive to FAT32 and unzipped the firmware zip file. Does any one of you have any simular experiences.
Problem solved. A different (smaller) USB drive did the trick.
Will this firmware work safely with WG790E? I am running original latest firmware (ver 0.94) and It very often happen that when charging it simply shout down in unexpected manner, so to charge I have run it again providing pin code. I believe this is some firmware issue. Probably when battery temp is to high it simply shouts down - in my opinion it should simply wait until batteries cools down and then should start charging cycle again.
The behavior is so annoying that think I will swap the firmware to yours.
Firmware is not a replacement just yet .. :) So don't bother at the moment!
Just bought a new WG796e.1 and a broken wg794 to play with. Unfortunately the wg794 was more damaged than I thought, motherboard was totally busted so I'll have to look for another one for testing. But battery and motors were OK. Since there has been some discussions regarding the battery I took the wg794 battery apart and there are seven Sony 18650 1900mAh cells in it.
Too bad about the motherboard! :( Could you take some images? I bought a lightning struck wg791e.1 and I managed to repair it after some checking around. Some components were obvious (cracks) and some were harder to find, but over all, it was the power management part of the system so the CPU started if putting 3.3v direcly to it.
After reading this project I'm planning on buying a Landriod M1000i (WG796E.1). I first planned to go for a Bosch Indego connect but was sold by the "open" nature of the Landroid. Keep up the good work. I'm a software developer/tester myself so I will try to make time to help, if needed, as soon as I got my Landroid.

Pro Stacey gets Beaut early birthday present

Friday was Brooke Stacey's 23rd birthday, but the 5'10", University of Maine Black Bear alumni hockey forward got an early birthday present a week early when she signed with the Buffalo Beauts of the National Women's Hockey League (NWHL) last Friday.
"I'm pretty excited," said Stacey. "It hasn't really sunk in yet because it doesn't feel too official yet. Once more players start signing, it will be more real."

Stacey was looking at a couple of other teams in the six-team league before Buffalo came calling.
"Originally I was talking to Connecticut and New York, those were my two best options at the time, just for the location and whatnot," said Stacey.
"Then my old coach from Maine (Richard Reichenbach) contacted me and said the GM (Mandy Cronin) wanted to speak with me."
Cronin, a former Maine Black Bear, called Stacey "a force to be reckoned with" on the NWHL's site.
Black Bear alums Audra Richards, Mariah Fujimagari and Cailey Hutchison will join Stacey on the Beauts.
She is signed until March 31.
Stacey is coming off her first games as a professional hockey player at the Swedish pro team Linkoping HC of the SDHL. Though the hockey was quality, being alone in a foreign country was not the easiest for the young prospect.
"I didn't like how far it was," she said. "I lived by myself in a little apartment, so I didn't really interact with too many people. It was a lot of alone time, so I'm not doing it again, I've decided."
Adjusting to the pro game also took some getting used to, as Stacey hadn't played since her university season ended nine months prior.
"I found it took a couple of games," said Stacey. "It was pretty hard. I think if I was right out of Maine I would have done better."
Stacey has not decided whether she will attend the free agency training camp at the end of July, but will be with the team in the fall when preseason begins.
Stacey became famous in Kahnawake and beyond after playing for Team Canada in the Nations Cup in Germany a couple of years ago, helping her team to a silver medal.
Town was abuzz after she was selected previously for the 2017 National Women's Development Team Selection Camp for Canada.
She is keen on getting in shape for the upcoming season knowing that being a professional athlete means yearlong commitment.
"I just started working out yesterday and I'm going to stay consistent," said Stacey. "I have a gym now to go to, and it's easier than working out at my house."

BMW is marking the 30th anniversary of its M5 flagship by rolling out 300 limited edition "30 Jahre M5" worldwide, with 30 headed to the U.S. and 29 to be sold through a social media contest, the company announced today.

Each of the buyers will get an invite to spend a day at the M Driving School at The Thermal Club, a private motorsports facility in Palm Springs, Calif.
One of the cars will be kept at BMW of North America for now.
The M5 exterior features a Frozen Dark Silver Metallic paint and Black Chrome "30 Jahre M5" (German for 30 years of the M5) badges, which will be on the kidney grill surrounds, the front fenders, door handles and twin dual exhaust pipes. The car will also sport 20-inch, bi-color M light-alloy wheels.
The interior features include plush black Alcantara/Leather combination on the seats, embroidered with "30 Jahre M5" badges. The center console and the door panels are also covered in black Alcantara, while the headliner features Alcantara Anthracite.
The price starts at $138,275, including destination and handling.

Home Posts SMSFs with LRBAs 'not penalised' for capitalising interest
SMSFs with LRBAs 'not penalised' for capitalising interest
SMSF Association Media Release
Self-managed super funds (SMSFs) that have borrowed from a private company under a limited recourse borrowing arrangement (LRBA) will not suffer adverse tax consequences if the loan interest has been capitalised because of COVID-19.
This was an important announcement and takeaway from ATO Director, SMSF Auditors Portfolio, Kellie Grant's address on day two of the 2021 SMSF Association National Conference.
SMSF Association Deputy CEO and Director of Policy & Education, Peter Burgess, welcomed the ATO's announcement, saying it provides certainty for SMSFs with LRBAs where the lender is a private company and, due to COVID-19, relief has been provided to the SMSF by capitalising the loan interest.
"It means, assuming all other conditions are satisfied, the option of capitalising interest in circumstances where the SMSF would be eligible for loan repayment relief under the COVID-19 relief measures will not cause the loan to be treated as a deemed unfranked dividend or the relevant income taxed as non-arm's length income.
"We had previously highlighted an inconsistency between the requirements that must be satisfied under Division 7A of the ITAA 1936 for the loan not to be treated as a deemed dividend and the requirements of the ATO's safe harbour provisions for the relevant income received by the fund not to be taxed as non-arm's length income.
"Although the safe harbour terms, and the associated COVID-19 relief measures, do permit the capitalisation of loan interest, it was unclear whether this would breach Division 7A and result in the SMSF having to treat the loan as a deemed unfranked dividend, which would then have adverse tax implications for the fund. The ATO has now confirmed, that assuming all other conditions are satisfied, this will not be the case."
The ATO also reminded delegates that taxpayers must apply for administrative relief if they are unable to make the minimum yearly repayments on their Division 7A loans by the end of the lender's 2019-20 income year.
About 10% of SMSFs have LRBAs with the vast majority using the debt to acquire real property.


A popular choice for the fashion-conscious gentleman, the monk strap is a sophisticated and understated dress shoe that sits somewhere between an Oxford and a Loafer. As a slip-on shoe, it is practical and easy to wear, but unlike loafers, it has a tongue and buckles, giving it an unmistakeable look of elegance and distinction.
These days, the monk strap is viewed as a suitable statement shoe for businessmen to wear alongside a fine cut suit and quality wrist watch. But monk straps weren't always such a sartorially bold shoe choice. In fact, their history is not-so-subtly hidden within its name. Monks throughout Europe would wear an open-toe version of the monk strap for practicality and comfort purposes. Over time, the toe closed and the shoe was popularised amongst the general public, embraced as a stylish dress shoe for special or important occasions.
Among our collection of men Monk Strap shoes you'll find popular brands such as Tommy Hilfiger and John White, as well as Monk Straps made from a variety of materials including leather and suede. Colours also vary, with Carlos Santos offering a stunning double buckle monk strap in antique tan leather, and Trickers proudly presenting a unique monk strap in chocolate suede. Some of the monk straps offered at Arthur Knight have double buckles, where as others have single buckles, so you'll find plenty of variety when trying to select the perfect monk strap shoe for you.


Faith and Freedom Daily: Is Atheism and Conservatism Compatible?
Is Atheism and Conservatism Compatible?
The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) convenes its annual conference later this week near Washington DC. CPAC has been known as a safe haven for conservatives, particularly Christian conservatives.
It annually highlights conservatives and works to help elect them.
In an apparent attempt to "build a bigger tent," CPAC invited the American Atheist organization founded by Madalyn Murray O'Hair to be a participant this year.
After considerable push back from certain conservatives, CPAC then dis-invited the atheist group. The atheists are angry and are telling the press what they had wanted to tell the conservatives had they been a participant in this week's conference.
Part of their message of enlightenment is that religion is counterproductive to conservatism.
Which raises the question, "Is Atheism compatible with Conservatism?"
Some thoughts from William F. Buckley Jr., Michael Youssef and others. And a personal thought.
Days after being dis-invited from this week's Conservative Political Action Conference, American Atheists called on the conservative movement to sever its "close ties to dogmatic religious beliefs."
They said, "We want to raise the question about the close ties between conservatism and religion."
"We want to bring the message to CPAC that there are millions of conservatives out there who are turned off and alienated by the conservative movement's close ties to dogmatic religious beliefs," the atheist group says.
They added that their registration was canceled by conference organizers who said that the group was not willing "to engage in positive dialogue and work together to promote limited government."
The group's leader told CNN last week they wanted to "enlighten the Christian Right."
American Atheists insisted that it wants "nothing but positive dialogue." At the same time, the group maintained that "conservative" does not mean "Christian" and that Christianity is not an important element of conservatism or even a required one.
Conservatism cannot be equated with Christianity, it contended. The group pointed to the growing percentage of non-theists, citing a Pew Forum study that shows 19 percent of self-identifying conservatives are unaffiliated with any religion, and that 14 percent of atheists self-identify as conservative.
Religion is counterproductive for conservatism, the group went on to claim. "The percentage of conservatives who are atheists is not only shockingly large, but growing. Approximately 50 percent of non-religious Americans prefer a smaller government, but only 20 percent will call themselves 'conservative.' Conservatism is losing out on millions of potential voters because of its close ties to religious fundamentalism on social issues like LGBT rights, science education, abortion, etc."
Is true conservatism really compatible with atheism and secularism?
William F. Buckley, Jr., is often believed to be, along with Ronald Reagan, the father of the modern conservative movement. Buckley, as you may know, founded the National Review.
In the preface to his book, "God and Man at Yale," Buckley wrote: "I consider this battle of education theory important and worth time and thought even in the context of a world-situation that seems to render totally irrelevant any fight except the power struggle against Communism. I myself believe that the duel between Christianity and atheism is the most important in the world. I further believe that the struggle between individualism and collectivism is the same struggle reproduced on another level. I believe that if and when the menace of Communism is gone, other vital battles, at present subordinated, will emerge to the foreground. And the winner must have help from the class room."
Our Founders also recognized there is a God and that He made all things. And that His immutable moral laws must apply to all men, to all nations all the time.
This is what true modern conservatives are seeking to conserve.
So-called "enlightenment" is the problem, not the social solution.
Michael Youssef has written an excellent article on this subject. He says in our current culture, words have been so redefined that it is often difficult to know what they mean at any given time. However, he says, he thinks that those who say they are fiscally conservative, but not socially conservative generally mean that they believe in capitalism, free market, hard work and reward, lower taxes and smaller government, etc.
He says the social side currently has 2 national issues which they don't oppose. 1. Abortion on demand, and 2. Homosexual marriage should equate with heterosexual marriage.
Youssef says there is a major problem trying to fit this together, because in God's economy, total acceptance of Judeo-Christian morals has usually accompanied true blessings and economical prosperity.
American history is an outstanding example. Obedience to God's moral absolutes brings about economic prosperity. The two cannot be separated.
He reminds us of how in biblical history when God's people dismissed God's laws and principles, there was disastrous consequences administered from the Assyrians, Babylonia and Persia.
Eclectic Christianity doesn't work. Neither does eclectic conservatism.
The skeptic would ask, what about China and Russia? They are prospering while they take a strong position against God and His principles?
Youssef says, "The answer is the same as to why God judged His people more strictly than the pagan empires of that time---His people should have known better."
In our moral malaise, we are attempting to redefine God's absolute moral laws regarding human sexuality and the sanctity of life, while ignoring the most basic fundamental economic principles---you can't continue forever spending more than you take in.
We too, should know better.
Actions have consequences. Sometimes the consequences are not immediate, but they are always certain.
Be Informed. Be Concerned. Be Vigilant. Be Prayerful. Be Faithful. Be Pro-Active. Be Blessed.
Absolutely. You are right on all you said. I love to hear truth spoken so clearly.
If the atheists are qualified to define what it means to be conservative, are Christians qualified to define what it means to be an atheist?
Just think - how much of this could have been avoided if the Conservative Political Action Conference had actually thought and perhaps asked prior to issuing the invitation in the first place?
I'm gonna have to disagree here. Christianity and political conservatism are not synonymous. We run some pretty serious risks when we treat them as such.
Joel. I don't see anyone suggesting conservatism and Christianity is "synonymous." The point I see Gary making is that how can someone divide the tenents of conservatism which are based in biblical principle and still call them selves a conservative? When freedom in America is understood by conservatives as a gifgt from God to be protected by the government, how can an atheist be a conservative?
Depends on how you define conservative. If your definition is the new rabid, take no prisoners, no RINO's allowed teabilly faction, then the answer is definitely no.
Well said. I may have been a Goldwater conservative, but now probably just a Libertarian reactionary conservationist who doesn't like change, nor deficit spending. Originally a fundamental Christian, I seldom find candidates worth supporting; resent the seeming decline of presidential prestige and his apparent increase in power and current denigrating of Republican Christians. I expect stability, security, and justice from my elected governments (from intelligent voters); prefer a strong federal military; dislike current Feds monetary policy; and resent some attempts for change from anarchists or socialists alike. Maybe I just don't like anybody very much. A NC WA liberal RINO.
Sounds to me like Atheists wanted Conservatives to become Atheists, not Atheists to become Conservatives.
Morality and religion are two separate views. I have met atheists who have a better standard of Judeo Christian morality then most Christians .
Of course with no rock to base your values , they will be likely to change with cultural influence . Hence the problem we face today .
I wonder if being conservative is some how a little bit too close to having some confidence in God.

Front Porch: Appalachia

Project Muse ($6)
by Harry Watson
Southern Cultures, Vol. 23, No. 1: Appalachia
"Appalachia is still itself, even as it changes, even as so many of us have gotten it wrong."
As far back as colonial days, all the experts agreed that the Mountain South was different, even when they couldn't explain how or why. Observers often blamed degenerate settlers. Royal governor Alexander Spotswood claimed that Virginia's mountaineers wanted "all the necessarys of life with little labor" and sneered that "it is fully well known what morals such people bring with them hither." Two centuries later, sociologist Rupert Vance chose his words more carefully but still endorsed the conventional wisdom that Appalachia was unique. In traveling from Grandfather Mountain to the Mississippi, he declared in 1932, "It needs but a customs barrier and a varying language to mark the limit of two cultures." Unlike Spotswood, the social scientist denied that mountain people were inherently backward. Instead, Vance diagnosed Appalachia as an "outstanding study in isolation," and a "retarded frontier," where self-sufficient farm families still consumed more of their crops than they sold. As a result, he claimed, poverty reigned and "the cash income per farm is as low as anywhere in the United States."

After having senior day postponed one day because of weather, 90 minutes was still not enough to settle it in a tough conference matchup between DePaul and Butler. The Blue Demons outshot the Bulldogs 20 to 10, however, neither side was able to push across the winning goal. Both teams settled for a 1-1 tie at Wish Field Sunday afternoon.
It didn't take long for Butler to open the scoring with a through ball from Kyra Cooke to Caitlyn DiSarcina who rolled it just out of the reach of DePaul senior goalie Lauren Frasca just under three minutes into the game.
Midway through the first half, junior Franny Cerny tied the game at one after she intercepted a clearance attempted from Butler and fired it into the lower right hand corner for her eighth goal of the season. The goal was important for a side that has struggled to comeback at times this season.
"It was definitely very important. We've struggled to come back after we've been down this season…if we lose we lose with a shutout so that was really really big for the whole team to not get down and come back with the goal," Cerny said.
DePaul had a couple more opportunities to jump on top late in the first half, but couldn't convert. The Blue Demons finished with five shots in the opening half.
DePaul continued to be on the attack in the second half with freshman Jade Ericksen-Russo, a second half substitute, creating multiple opportunities, but none were able to get past Butler goalie Leonie Doege, who was solid after also entering as a substitute in the second half.
In overtime, DePaul continued to have a couple of good goal scoring opportunities, the best of those being a shot from Cerny who's shot deflected off the crossbar.
"I thought it was going in I saw it dipping, dipping and then just barely hit the crossbar," Cerny said.
Earning a point against one of the best teams in the conference in Butler was a huge positive, but they know there is still work to be done to finish in the top six in the conference and extend the season for their seniors. The junior forward noted the goal right now is to extend the season as long as possible for those seniors.
"We wanted to play as best we can for them so we could play as long as we can with them because every game now matters and the better we can do now the longer we can prolong our season," Cerny said.
Prior to the game, seven DePaul seniors were honored along with their parents. For senior Alexa Ben, the opportunity to walk out with her parents was an opportunity to reflect on what they've been through the last four years.
DePaul now heads on the road to battle Providence Thursday evening.
