What is System Restore?
System Restore is also known as Smart HDD, S.M.A.R.T. Virus or S.M.A.R.T. Check; all from the very same malware family Win32/FakeSysdef. It is a rogue software application that creates disturbing redirection errors. Generally you will have the ability to figure out if your computer system is attacked with System Restore when you view an error that states "A Major Hard drive Error Writing Drive C: /" alert on your display. Likewise, it will erase all your shortcuts and keep them in your temporary folder (% Temp % smtmp), so that none of them will show up on your start menu, this way you will not have the ability to start any kind of application from the start menu, making you assume that your system has severe problems.
This bogus software program is often from corrupted internet sites that you could have visited or from malware software program that you have actually downloaded. System Restore will immediately invade your system and will make untrue alerts and pop ups that state your system has actually been threatened by a severe infection or there are hard disk problems identified. It will recommend you to stop utilizing the trial version and pay for a certified complete version of System Restore to activate threat elimination features yet once you click "Buy license now" you will put your private as well as financial details at risk.
Hard Drive Boot Sector Reading Error During I/O system initialization, the boot device driver might have failed to initialize the boot device. File system initialization might have failed because it did not recognize the data on boot device.
System blocks were not found This is most likely occurred because of hard disk failure. This may also lead to a potential loss of data.
System Restore could make use of a TDSS rootkit to shield and disguise its malware data, and to prevent you from starting any kind of anti-malware software program, hence making itself even more difficult to remove. There are bogus registration codes to stop irritating pop ups however these will never ever eliminate the rogue software application. You must make use of a reputable anti - malware and anti spyware application to get rid of this threat. You also have to run a total system scan to identify any kind of damages that System Restore has actually created.

How to Stop System Restore Fake Alerts
To register System Restore and stop its fake warnings, use the following fake license key.
System Restore registration code: 1203978628012489708290478989147 with any email address
NOTE: this code will NOT remove System Restore from your computer, it will JUST stop the annoying alerts and messages.
System Restore Removal Instructions
Step 1: Reboot in Safe Mode with Networking
To restart your computer in Safe Mode with networking:
Restart your computer.
When you see the computer manufacturer's logo, press and hold the F8 key.
On the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the arrow keys to highlight Safe Mode with Networking, and then press Enter.
Log on to your computer with a user account that has administrator rights.
Step 2: Disable System Restore Proxy Server
System Restore may add a proxy to its package. Its goal is to get the information through the Web connection (password etc).
It also helps to block the connection to certain sites (eg malware removal help sites) or to block the download of trustworthy antispyware and antivirus programs.
The following steps reset the Internet Explorer proxy settings in the Windows registry so that you can access the Internet again:
Click Start, and then click Run. (Keyboard Shortcut: Windows logo + R)
Copy and paste or type the following text in the Open box in the Run dialog box:
Click OK.
click Start, and then click Run.
Copy and paste or type the following text in the Open box in the Run dialog box:
Click OK.
Now that you have disabled System Restore proxy server, you will be able to browse the web again with Internet Explorer.
Click Start, and then click Run. (Keyboard Shortcut: Windows logo + R)
Type in iexplore.exe.
Step 3: Remove the System Restore rootkit
System Restore may be bundled with the TDSS rootkit. A rootkit is a program that hides the presence of malware in the system.
Kaspersky offers a free utility, TDSSKiller, that removes malware belonging to the family Rootkit.Win32.TDSS (aka Tidserv, TDSServ, Alureon).
So to find out if your system is infected with any rootkits that make System Restore hidden and very difficult to remove, follow the steps below:
Download Kaspersky TDSSKiller to your desktop from the following link:
Kaspersky TDSSKiller Download link
System Restore may block all executable files, so when you launch the TDSSKiller file, it will execute itself.
So Rename tdsskiller.exe to tdsskiller.com or winlogon.exe or iexplore.exe
After you run TDSSKiller (or the renamed version), in the welcome screen click on Start Scan.
TDSSKiller will now scan your computer.
If any infection was found, TDSSKiller will display a screen results like the following one:
Then click on the Continue button and TDSSKiller will clean the infections.
A reboot might require after disinfection. In this case, click on Reboot Computer
After the reboot, start your computer again in Safe Mode with Networking and then disable any System Restore Proxy Server (See Step 1&2).
Step 4: Stop System Restore processes
In order to stop System Restore from interfering with our removal procedure, we need to end and kill its processes. For this, we will use a FREE powerful utility called RogueKiller.
RogueKiller (by Tigzy) is a tool written in C++, which scans the running processes, and kills those which are malicious. This tool was developed based on speed execution, which will clean the running processes before being killed.
To terminate System Restore process:
Always in Safe Mode Download RogueKiller to your desktop from the following link:
RogueKiller Download link
RogueKiller is a portable application, so you don't need to install anything.
System Restore may block all executable files, so when you launch the RogueKiller file, it will execute itself. So Rename RogueKiller.exe to RogueKiller.com or winlogon.exe or iexplore.exe
At this point a "pre-scan" will complete and stop any malicious process. Also a list of options will appear along the right-hand side.
Step 5: Remove System Restore registry keys
To remove System Restore malicious registry entries, we will need RogueKiller again.
RogueKiller also checks for rogue Registry entries, rogue drivers, and Master Boot Record (MBR) issues, so rootkits will be cut.
RogueKiller can also fix and restore a Host file, delete any Proxy entries, repair shortcut problems and unhide files.
CAUTION: This tool is not for beginners. In this step we will ONLY use the Registry tab.
To Delete System Restore Registry entries:
Always in Safe Mode run a scan, open RogueKiller and click on Scan.
After a while, you should see a screen with scan results like the following one:
Click on the Registy tab, then click on the Delete button.
Don't Reboot you computer yet, please stay in Safe Mode.
Step 6: Remove System Restore files
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is simply the best known FREE malware removal tools online.
To remove System Restore files:
Download Malwarebytes to your desktop from the following link:
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Download link
Just Follow the easy setup process. Do not make any changes to the default settings
When the setup is finished, make sure you leave both the Update Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes Anti-Malware checked.
You can check or uncheck the Enable free trial of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware PRO as the malware removal is FREE.
Then click on the Finish button. If Malwarebytes prompts you to reboot, please do not do so.
When Malwarebytes is launched, it will ask you to update the databse. Just click OK.
On the Scanner tab,select Quick scan and then click on the Scan.
When the scan is finished a message box will appear, click OK to continue.
Then the screen results will show the various malware infections including System Restore that Malwarebytes has found on your computer.
the image below is just an example, your results will be different.
Click on the Remove Selected button.
After Malwarebytes has finished the removal of System Restore, you will get a message stating that you need to reboot your computer.
Just Do so, and restart your computer in Normal Mode.
Step 7: Unhide your files
As System Restore is from the family of FakeHDD, it will make you shortcuts unsuable and hide your files from your desktop, Start menu and discs.
To Fix this issue:
In Normal Mode run a RogueKiller scan.
When the scan is complete, go to the Shortcuts tab, and click on the Fix Shortcuts button on the right.
Step 8: Check for any System Restore left over
To make sure that your computer is now completely free of System Restore, redo a Malwarebytes scan in Normal Mode.
After your are finished, Reboot your PC as asked by Malwarebytes anti-malware.

Research Project V addresses the definition, classification and etiology of individual differences in comprehension and disabilities associated with reading comprehension deficits and oral language comprehension deficits. Project V proposes to continue administering extensive assessments of both listening and reading comprehension and passage fluency, across simple and complex discourse, and across ages 8-16, to understand the genetic, cognitive, and developmental aspects of comprehension. Twins and siblings selected for deficits either in reading, comprehension, writing, and/or ADHD, as well as normal-range control twins will be tested. There are 3 prongs to our approach to understanding the functional architecture of comprehension and the nature and etiology of deficits. One involves multivariate analyses of individual differences in both reading comprehension and listening comprehension, across different age groups and across different comprehension tests, using multiple measures of cognitive skills and knowledge. This modeling will be compared across our broad range of comprehension tests so that we can address the problem of why there are currently such dramatic inconsistencies in diagnosis of comprehension deficits and how the problem might be rectified. A second prong to understanding the components of comprehension skill and the origin of deficits is to use behavioral genetic analyses to assess their etiology in terms of genetic and environmental influences. These analyses will also show the degree to which component comprehension skills and other learning learning disabilities such as ADHD share genetic influences, and thus the degree to which they represent distinct or common deficits. The third prong is to further define the phenotype by finding variables often ignored by current tests that could be influencing comprehension performance, such as the centrality of ideas and how prior knowledge of the passage topic influences comprehension and fluency. In collaboration with other CLDRC projects, Project V will assess whether similar skills and similar genes may be influencing comprehension and writing (Project II), assess molecular genetic linkage and association for deficits in comprehension (Project IV), and longitudinally assess stability of comprehension problems (Project VI).Project V provides research on the cognitive, developmental, and genetic aspects of language comprehension that underlie some of the most prevalent learning disabilities. It advances knowledge about both biological and behavioral mechanisms in reading comprehension, listening comprehension, and their co-occurrence with other learning disabilities such as ADHD and writing difficulties.

South Korea wraps up final hearing in president's trial
South Korea's Constitutional Court has wrapped up the final hearing in President Park Geun-hye's trial for a graft scandal, as her supporters gathered in front of the court to demand her reinstatement.
The Constitutional Court began hearing the closing arguments on Monday.
Park did not attend the session and instead had her lawyer read her closing argument.
In the statement, Park said she was regretful of having placed trust in her long-time friend Choi Soon-sil who handled her daily affairs for years.
"In retrospect, I have belated regret that I should have been more cautious with my trust in her," she said in her final defense.
Park was impeached by the parliament in December last year, and the Constitutional Court has to decide on the legality of that vote. She has been stripped of her powers and replaced by her Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn in the meantime.
Prosecutors say Park allowed her friend Choi Soon-sil to meddle in state affairs, and that, together, the two colluded to extort money from companies. Park has, however, denied the accusations.
The court ruling on whether to formally end Park's rule or restore her presidential powers could be expected after about two weeks. If the constitutional court decides to confirm the parliament's impeachment vote, Park will be removed from power and an election will have to be held within 60 days to choose her successor.
According to Park's statements, read at the court by her lawyer on Monday, she did not act in self interest while in office. Park also denied making improper demands or receiving illicit requests from Samsung Group, which is also involved in the scandal.
Choi is facing a separate trial of her own over fraud and abuse of power.
Meanwhile, the office of the acting president said he had rejected a request by special prosecutors for a 30-day extension of their investigation. Prosecutors were also denied permission to question Park in person, which is against the constitution.
The state prosecutor's office, which "regretted" Hwang's decision, would now make its final indictments before its investigation closes on Tuesday.
Hwang's decision also prompted the three main liberal opposition parties in South Korea to demand the impeachment of the acting president as well. The opposition parties led Park's impeachment in December.
Choo Mi-ae, the leader of the main opposition Democratic Party, said Hwang's decision showed he was trying "to become Park's shield to protect her and her associates."
Impeaching a prime minister in South Korea requires support from half of the 299-member parliament. The three main liberal opposition parties have a total of 166 seats in the assembly. Thus, they can easily reach the threshold to strip the prime minster of powers.
Critics, however, say any attempt to impeach Hwang would result in a strong backlash from conservatives.

#DropPacman - Boycott Nike Until they Drop #MannyPacquiao.
Dear Nike,
In past press releases, Nike has stated that "Nike is deeply committed to diversity, inclusion and unleashing the potential of all athletes." Nike has sponsored LGBT athletic events and conferences as well as fostered an LGBT employee resource network. Nike has also stated that they were a proud supporter of the LGBT Sports Coalition and "its initiatives to end discrimination in sport."
Yet, Nike remains associated with boxer Manny Pacquiao, a boxer who has most recently said same-sex couples are worse than animals and has in the past invoked religious language to call for their deaths. Pacquiao's expressions of homophobia and bigotry disqualifies him from being honored, endorsed and sponsored by one of the world's largest publicly-traded and owned athletic companies, particularly one that is celebrated and well-known for their promotion of sportsmanship and excellence.
We, the undersigned pledge to boycott Nike products until Nike ends their sponsorship deals with Pacquiao and removes him from their marketing and outreach materials. We call upon Nike to stand with the global LGBT community to send a strong and clear message of respect, inclusion, and tolerance for all athletes, gay or straight, as well as their fans and consumers.
Please fire Manny Pacquiao

6 Secrets to Run a Retrospective Successful – Brazil Scrum Gathering 2009
8 responses to "6 Secrets to Run a Retrospective Successful – Brazil Scrum Gathering 2009"
On one of the slides it had a picture of who should be involved in the retrospective and the PO was crossed out. Why?
I believe they need to be involved in the discussion since they are involved in the sprint on a daily basis and deserve input on making improvements.
@Derek: I believe that the The Product Owner should get his or her input during the daily communication with the team. The Retrospective is focused on the team – the team should do the talking and ideally they should be able to do a retrospective by themselves. The ScrumMaster should (again, ideally) only attend the Retrospective to facilitate the process and ensure that nobody is i.e. being blamed and that the team are working together to improve whatever could be improved in the forthcoming sprints. If the team feels that i.e. story preparation is bad because of a ProductOwner who isn't empowered to do his job by the organization that is a job for the ScrumMaster to sort out after the retrospective with the organization. If the PO himself is the problem for various reasons – that is a discussion which is better having without the ProductOwner present, I believe.
Sorry, I have to disagree. I believe the entire team (PO + dev team + SM) need to discuss openly what went well and what didn't in the sprint. I find a lot of time the PO has a different view that the dev team just isn't seeing or needs to hear. I don't feel that you can push for the PO to interact more closely with the dev team then say you can't participate in the opportunity to improve.
@Derek: My experience tells me that team discussion during a retrospective mainly focuses on people issues or technical debt. Technical debts identified are placed as stories on the team backlog and the discussion about those stories isn't very rewarding to listen to for a PO. The people issue thing is where I can sense you believe that a PO brings value to a team discussion… I have bias towards keeping the PO away from a discussion about the PO if it turns out during the retrospective that there are issues with the PO that the team needs to talk about. One single team member might not click very well with a PO while the other members of the team do – I wouldn't want to overhear that kind of a discussion if I were the PO in the line of fire – and as much as I do believe that having such discussions can provide a lot of value when done right I also believe that they would never be held if the person being talked about was present in the room. Nobody likes to hurt a collegue's feelings unnecessary. In order to ensure that the outcome of a retrospective is constructive I would never allow the PO into a retrospective.
Boris, thanks for sharing your slides with us. I was in your presentation in Brazil and I think your material is pretty helpfull.

In this week's episode of "Scheer Intelligence," Truthdig Editor in Chief Robert Scheer interviews Joel Whitney, author and co-founder of Guernica magazine.
Whitney's new book, "Finks: How the C.I.A. Tricked the World's Best Writers," explores how the CIA influenced acclaimed writers and publications during the Cold War to produce subtly anti-communist material. During the interview, Scheer and Whitney discuss these manipulations and how the CIA controlled major news agencies and respected literary publications (such as the Paris Review).
Their talk comes at a particularly tense time in American politics, as accusations of fake news and Russian propaganda fly from both sides of the aisle. But the history detailed in Whitney's book presents a valuable lesson for writers hoping to avoid similar manipulations today.
Scheer opens the discussion with the question: "Were they really tricked?"
"It could have been 'paid,' it could have been 'subsidized,' it could have been 'used,' it could have been 'collaborated with,' " Whitney responds. "So yeah, it might have been any other verb there besides 'tricked.'"

The Mayor of Caldwell has resigned after only three months on the job.
According to Caldwell Village Clerk Connie Bunting, Mayor Robert Watson turned in his official resignation yesterday, cited that his last day as Mayor was March 15th.
In his resignation Watson said he believes it is in the best interest of the village, his family and himself to resign. Watson started his term as Mayor December 15, 2009, after he was elected to fill the position when Willard Radcliff stepped down.
Bunting says Village Council President Daniel Shaw will take over duties as Mayor. She says it is likely they will have to hold a special meeting to decide who will permanently serve out the rest of the term, which expires in 2011.

a big Huge MASSIVE giveaway. chairs edition. | winners announced
Thank you all so much for entering our chair giveaway! We had a huge number of entries... so we put you all in a hat and drew the two lucky winners: Anne Cannon and Holli Kelli Trembley!!!
Anne is the lucky winner of the orange and pink chair with her comment: "LOVE these chairs... and love both colors so either would be perfect for me!"
Holli is the lucky winner of the pink chair with her comment: "My favorite chair is the blue and red one, even though they are both beautiful. The reason I love it is because it is the color of my Grandma's garden and, with the flower print on the back of the chair, it brings back happy memories of spending time there with her."
Ladies, please contact us at email@example.com to coordinate the receipt of your prizes!! Congrats!
Guys. Today, we are giving away two incredible items to two lucky people.
These chairs. How great are they? Not only are they fabulous and beautiful and unique (if we do say so ourselves) but they were made in a really sustainable way. They were salvaged from a yard sale, painted with our completely non-toxic, organic, safe paint, and reupholstered with scraps of leftover fabric from Lisa's studio.
So. Why are we giving them away? Here's the deal: When Lisa and I first started this here little paint company, we had the idea to add a line of painted furniture like these chairs to our products. We love doing it and we thought they were a nice tie-in to our paint line, showcasing our colors in a new and different way while also staying true to our goal to offer organic, safe, sustainable products. While all of this is true, it quickly became clear that was no way we could maintain constantly adding new pieces to our site while also running this company just the two of us. These two are prototypes from when we first had the idea and we'd rather they go to a good home where you can ohh and ahh over the beautiful colors (and of course tell all your friends about how wonderful Quiet Home Paints is!) than sit around our studio.
The details: These chairs would retail for $600 each. And we are giving them away. To you! They've been sitting around our studio getting no use and no love and we want them showcased in your home where they will attract the attention they deserve. Interested? To enter your name in the drawing to win these awesome chairs:
1. Go to our facebook page and like us! Or pin these chairs on pinterest.
2. Leave a comment here or on facebook telling us you've like us or pinned us AND which chair you like and why.
Two winners (one for each chair) will be drawn at random on Wednesday, July 31st. There is one small catch. The chairs are located at Lisa's studio in Portsmouth NH. You must either be able to pick them up at her location or pay for the shipping to get them to you.
Good luck!!
ps. if you don't win and you love the chairs, we still do custom pieces for people. While we don't have the time to make enough to have a constant supply on the site, we do love working with our customers to create pieces just for them. If you are interested in a chair or other piece of furniture, shoot us an email!
