In today's video, I was sent a mystery Yu-Gi-Oh box from the UK. What's up, guys? We're back with another epic video. Today, we're going to be opening that mystery box, as well as a few other booster packs sent to us by Dr. Chickens. But first, we have a giveaway. I'll be giving away this first edition Bazoo the Soul Leader in very good condition. All you have to do is like this video, be subscribed, and let me know what you think about the mystery box. I have no idea what to expect. It's been sitting around for like a month or two, so I don't even know. I can't even remember what he said it. So it's going to be pretty exciting, actually. Let's start off with this mail from Dr. Chickens. He actually has a YouTube channel as well, so you guys can go check that out if you would like to. So here we have, we have Ruxen, who is a stick man with a card versus the Dr. Chickalatte. All right, he loved it, and then the sun. All right, very nice to see. And okay, that was it. That was the sketch going there. All right, he sent us a huge variety of Korean packs. So this is going to be pretty exciting. I mean, we have Legend of Blue Eyes and stuff like that. So let's start off with that one. Let's see if we can pull anything good. How do you open these again? Isn't there a tab? Where's the tab? Open! Oh no, we're going to have to do it this way. Okay, this is going to be fun. I always struggle so hard opening these. I don't understand. People are like, I'd rather open it this way. I'm like, I never can open them. I think the English way is the easiest way to open them. You just rip them right open. These are much more difficult. Okay, so Skull Servant, that's our best card there. Let's go to Metal Raiders. Can we get the Korean Pakenyo Moth? That would be a big win. I'd be down. Okay, I'm pretty sure they're usually right here. There's absolutely nothing right there this time. So let me know in the comments how to open these things. I feel like I ask this every single time you guys tell me and then I forget how to do it. Okay, we got the Trent. Let's see if I can remember these. Trent, we got the Ring of Magnetism. We've got the, he has like a, it's like Hugh Seabay or something like that. That might be a different card. We've got the Witch of Ice, Princess of Surugi maybe? I don't know. No, that's Princess of Surugi. Okay, I don't know what that other one was. That's like her twin sister or something. Should we, yeah, let's save these. Let's go Ferradic Guardian. I'm not gonna be able to guess very many Ferradic Guardians. This is like the iconic cards. I'll remember those. Well, I guess I know the Grave Keepers maybe or something like that. Oh, Molten Behemoth? I think, okay, maybe I do know some of them. I don't remember this card, but it has Donzolugan and has that Dark Scorpion. Check the Yellow Gorg. Who are those two guys? I don't know what the cards call, but I know what three of the cards on there is. Hyroglyth, Hyroglyth, Lythograph. I can never say that one, right? Brageki Break. Book of Moon, I actually knew four out of five cards and then three fifths of the guy on the one I didn't know. So that's not too bad, I guess. More than I thought I knew about Ferradic Guardian, so I guess I know a little bit more than I thought. Let's see. Here's the other Legend of Blue Eyes. Let's see what we can pull. Skulls, Skull, I don't remember that one. Something about Graveyard or something like that. Spellbook of Secret Arts, there we go. We got the Urabi, we got the Vile Germs and we got the Hard Armor, so I knew four out of five there. Let's see about Meadow Raiders. Can we get that Bacanium off, guys? Let's go. Thanks again, Dr. Chickens for sending these in. It's always fun to open these old packs, even if they are the Korean version. We have Lizard something, Lizard Soldier. No, that's a different card. Why are there so many of the same looking cards? We have, what is it? No, what is this card? It's, oh, it's the, I can't remember what it's called. Oh, but I know this one. The legendary Pakenium Moth, Korean version. And then the Electric Lizard, beautiful end in the fake trap. Okay, that Pakenium Moth turned everything around. Let's go. Spell ruler, technically here. Cause they have changed the name at this point for the reprint. Let's go. We got the Jigen Bucketun. We've got the, what is it? Enchanting Mermaid or something like that. We've got the Slot Machine and his little brother, which is this one, which is the Guardian of the Throne Room. Turtles, oh, Turtoloth. And then the Manga Rai-Uran. Okay, I'm doing okay. I'm usually getting three out of five. Oh, an Astral Pack four. That is a really rare pack that I forgot was in here. That's an extremely rare pack. If you guys remember when we opened every pack, that was one of the ones that took me forever to find. We've got the House of the adhesive tape. We've got the Molten, Molten, no, the zombie, the volcano. I don't know. Hightight Geogen. We've got the, I always forget that one. And then the Jigen Bucketun again. Oh, wow. This guys, this is a crazy, crazy pack. This one's really hard to find. So if you ever try and find that, you'll understand the pain is very difficult to get. But we're gonna save that one because that's a really, really good pack. These packs are very hard to stack up because they just stay open. Okay, that was a time seal. This is a, don't remember. We've got the Red Moon Baby. Okay, regular rare. We've got the Science Soldier and the DNA Surgery. Okay, all right. So these are like the original sets. Like every single set in Korean, very cool. Old school. We've got the Enchanted Fitting Room. The Solar Flare, something dragon maybe? Seven? Okay, I can get that one. We've got, oh, this is the, this is the one from Duel Links. This is the one you had to, some people would use it on a farming deck. It was something about Peron Army, I think. Yeah, there we go. And then Solar Something. I can't remember the name of that one. Let's try a Dark Crysis. Man, I know these sets a lot better than I thought, but we have opened a lot if you think about it over the years. It's crazy. Years at this point that we've been opening these. I'm actually kind of, okay, I say that in this corner gets stuck, but we're doing okay on those. The Ninten Dog. We're gonna play some Ninten Dogs, the Gagai Geego. We've got the Warrior Digreffer on the artwork. I don't know what it is, the despair from the dark. There we go. And then I don't even recognize this card. Is that a different artwork? Is it like Alter for Tribute or something and different artwork? I don't know, maybe. Here we go. Have we pulled a hollow yet? I don't know. Yeah, Loose Korean Packs. It doesn't seem like you're gonna pull a hollow very often, if you know what I mean, but so cool. We got the Flower, I don't know, Poison of the Old Man. Okay, Giant Orc, I know that one. And then another, this is a Union card with the Darkblade guy. Yeah, I don't know anything past that, really. Let's go. Yeah, cause it's like six out of 40 you get a foil on these. So, they're not too easy to actually pull. Let's see this time. We got the, ooh, this is the card that got banned. It's like Amazonas Spy or something. No, not Spy. It's like Amazonas, or is it Amazonas? I can't remember. The Amazonas Spy is different. Humanoid Slime. Scroll of Bewitchman, I think. Ooh, this Avatar. I'm just getting out of my mind what that's called. And then, I remember this card specifically. I thought that was in Pharaoh's Servant, though. I guess not. Okay, we haven't opened Legacy of Darkness yet. We have not pulled even a super yet, so this has been pretty insane. We do have that Mystery Box after this as well. We got the Flame, we got the Spirit Raiju. Don't remember that one. I do remember the artwork, at least. Dragon Manipulator, I think. And then, something Robotics or something like that, a robotic knight. There we go. Ooh, a Rarity Collection. Can you pull like a Ghostra in that? I think you can, so that would be pretty exciting. I'd be down for that. Pull a Ghostra. Let's go. All right, so there are foils in here. We're gonna get it. Masked Chameleon. We've got the Selection, aka Noah's Ark. We've got Elemental Giro Prisma and Compulsory Evacuation Device. That's a pretty cool card. Okay, I surprisingly knew all the names of that. I guess I am. I'm excelling as a Yugi Tuber, or if you wanna call me that, because I know the Yugi O' Names without actually being able to read them. Proud of myself. Doing great job, Ruxin. All right. Ooh, a Darklaw. That's sick. Okay, that's pretty awesome. Plague Spreader Zombie, awesome. This is a Six Samurai Gateway. Gateway of the Six Samurai. And then a Castile of the Sky Blaster Musketeer. And not only am I getting these, I'm nailing the names. I'm pretty sure I've nailed all of these. Okay, this is like, this is pretty sick. I'm not gonna lie, I'm feeling pretty good about this. Even though we're not pulling foils, like actual foils, because those are guaranteed, but okay, I say that in salvage. Okay, I do know that one. We've got the Balloon Lazard, very nice. I don't know this one. The, it looks like aliens or something. Torpedo Fish, I think.  Let's go. Reload Super Rare, let's get it. The ratios are not in our favor, so that's pretty good to pull that. I'm down. Okay, all right, Chronicle Pack. I don't know what's in Chronicle Pack, but let's see. I think the Red Rarity Collection is the one with like the Blue Eyes White Dragon, right? The red writing that's over over here. You guys might can't see it, because my face is in the way when I'm editing, but yeah, sorry about that, Mizuki. Skildrain, oh, some people might like this as a budget version of the $30 that it is now. Cyber Dragon, very good. And then a Necrow Valley, all right. We'll take that. Pretty good pull so far, actually. This might be a longer video than I thought, because it's so hard to open these packs. It takes me like 10, 15 seconds every single one. Even though I'm kind of shredding these right now.  We've got the, oh no, what is it? Oh, I just turned the camera. Let's turn that back, all right. We got some Ninja, I don't remember. Arm, not Arm Ninja. Red Ninja, I don't know. Chaos, something green, maybe. We're kind of on a bad streak here. We got the Soul Tiger, I know that. And then Mataza the Zapper, so two out of five. Not too good there. This is the one. I think this could have the Blue Eyes by Dragon, right? It's interesting how it has English writing on it. You know what I mean? It's like half English, half Korean. It's very weird, I don't know. But allows us to read some of it at least, I guess. Let's see what we can pull. We have, oh, Daegusto Emeril. We've got the Tatsunoko maybe or something like that. I don't know this one. I don't recognize that card. Uh, oh, ghost ogre, ultimate rare. No way. This is an ultimate rare. This is the OCG Ulti, so it's not quite as, it's a little bit more sleek than our version. Ghost ogre, I don't even own any of these because I can even play it when I was at the YCS this week, which I am gonna be posting that video about the YCS. You guys will definitely, it'll definitely be up by the time you see this video. So go check out Ruxen Live, the channel, because we're gonna be posting some discussions and stuff like that over there. Not just live stream, you know, content, stuff like that. Wow, this is an amazing pull because I needed a ghost ogre. And I don't know if you, I don't think you can play Korean in like actual events, but it's not like I play a lot of events anyway. So you know what, that's cool. This is Dark Revelation. What is this? I don't know what this is. It kind of looks like Dark Revelation, but I feel like they had a different name for their Dark Revelation. It wasn't actually called Dark Revelation, but we're about to find out if it's that one that's similar. We've got, well, the Launcher Spider has a different artwork, cool. We've got the Harpy's Pet Dragone. Very nice. We've got a flame swordsman with the alternate artwork. All right. Oh no! We're ruxen specialed. Ah! The Dark Magician Girl! These guaranteed? Wait, I don't think these are guaranteed, are they? Oh my goodness. Dragon Masterine I thought was the last card, so I just went through it. Dark Magician Girl, Korean 15th anniversary. Yeah, that is definitely not guaranteed. That is some insane pulls. These pulls have really stepped up. I was like, yeah, we're probably not gonna get anything. We got a Zoa and then we got the Alligator's Baby Dragon Alligator Sword confusion. I don't remember what the actual name is though. I'm failing on that. Talk about stepping up the pulls in the last two times. That is insane. That means maybe in the Astral Pack 4 we'll pull like, I think that's Maxi Ultimate Rare. If we pull that, I will literally pass out right now. We haven't even gotten to the Mystery Box yet. Maybe this shouldn't even be a Mystery Box video at this point. I don't know. We've got the Metal Armored Bug. We've got that guy. We've got the Jinjitsu Mask. No. J-J-J-J-Jijitsu? Jijitsu Master? Well, why can't I remember how to say Jijitsu? All right, there we go. Order to charge or something. And then a double cost tonight. That was a struggle. I don't know what was happening there. I just had a real, I just completely lost everything. Okay. Dark Crisis. Let's go. I can't believe we pulled Dark Magician Girl and we pulled an Ulti Ghost Ogre. That's actually insane. Ghost Ogre being a common in the new Structured Egg is crazy too. So that's pretty nuts. We've got a Spell Purification or something like that. Oh, Jama Green. That's an easy one. We've got the Pandemonium. Dark Scorpion. Check the Yellow. And I think this is Battle's Guard. I'm pretty sure it is. Cause I always, I don't really ever look at the artwork of that card. I'm just too busy singing. Okay. This may be their DB1. Whatever I thought was Dark Revelation was actually 15th anniversary. It was insane. Lodge in alternate artwork. Okay. We gotta be careful. Cause last time we rucked in special that we've got the, oh no, it's the Ritual from Premium Pack. What is it? A Mystical Mirror or something like that? We've got the, this is from the video game. It's the Dark Magician Night Spell. I don't remember. I don't even know what that is. And then, oh Crush Card. Okay. And Gaia. Well, the alternate artwork, that is incredible. These are just both 15th anniversary packs. Those look really good though. All right, Pharaoh's Servant. Man, these packs are actually fire right now. Korean packs are literally insane. Like if you're on a budget and you don't want to spend a ton of money buying original packs or even just reprints, you want to buy something cheap, check out the Korean stuff because it is extremely cheap and it's fun to open. You know, $20 for 40 packs and stuff like that. So there we go. We got the Mr. Volcano. This was Gust, I think. I think that was Gust. We've got the Abubonic Avermin. The All Spike Bot, yeah? And then the Insect Barrier, I believe. Okay. All right, nothing crazy there. Can we get an Ultra Rare out of these old packs? Cause so far we have not gotten one. We've gotten a Super. That's it. Here we go. We've got Fairy something. We've got, oh no, the Tiki Elder. Grand Tiki Elder, I think. Drugonic Attack maybe? Okay, the Aqua Maiden of the Aqua. And then Mask of Weakness. Okay, cool, cool, cool. Let's keep going. Let's see what legacy, that one just popped open. That was beautiful. Beautiful. You got to be a little more aggressive with these. Bubble Crash, no! That's everybody with your Yu-Gi-Oh cards after they're all worth 10 cents. No, I'm just kidding. Here's Garb, we've got the Lesser Fiend, Woodland Sprite, and we've got Superjuvenation. I know all those. Boom, boom, boom. Five in a row, what's, or four. How many ever many that was? I was too busy talking about bubbles crashing. No, I'm just kidding. I don't think Yu-Gi-Oh's in a bubble. We're good, we're good guys. We've got a Magical Merchant. We've got the Roulette Barrel. We've got, I don't know this one. The Buster Blader Search card. What is it called? I forgot. And then, ah, the DD Trainer, I think. That guy from Dual Links. All right, I thought this was gonna be a short video, but boy was I wrong. I mean, we're not even into the mystery box yet, but this has been fun, not gonna lie. I've been having a ton of fun with this. Reversal Quiz, I'm just nailing these names. Dice Jar, we've got, I just messed that one up. We've got, what is this one? It's something about the old man, but the, I can't remember. Pyramid Turtle, okay, three out of five. We'll take it. How about, how about three out of five? You know what that's from, guys? Yeah, let me know. It's a movie quote, early, no, late 90s. I'll let you guys know. I mean, let me know if you guys know what that is. It's very, very cryptic. So if you get it right, I'd be surprised. Oh! Red-Eyes Bluffing Dragon? They all say sin on them, okay. I feel like that might be guaranteed, which one did you pull, but that artwork is incredible. So I am okay with that, that's amazing. Final pack from Dr. Chickens. Make sure to check them out. If you guys enjoy this, we have Astral Pack 4. Okay, this pack is insane. I don't know, it might pop up first, so this is what I'm gonna do. We don't wanna spoil the hollow. Oh no! Oh no, okay, I didn't see it. I didn't see it. Let's go like this. I don't know if that was the Ulti or not. Okay, the Mat. The Consecrated Light, okay. Titanil, this is a good card in Edison. And Consecrated Light, very cool card. Weird-looking artwork, just a ball of flubber. I don't know what that is, but it's a Super Rare. Very rare pack, so that's still really cool to open that. It kinda hurt a little bit. All right, we are finally onto the Mystery Box, and we have an envelope that says you can read on cam. So this is cam, so let's read it. Oh, looks like we have an addition to the giveaway. So in addition to the earlier giveaway, you can also win Trojan Blast Ultimate Rare and Rare Metal Morph Ultimate Rare. Here we go. Check him out, guys. UK Blue Eyes. We're gonna see what his Mystery Boxes are like. He did send me this for free, so keep that in mind. I'm not getting paid or anything, but it was sent for free. All right, here we go. Hope my Mystery Box. Hey, Ruxen, hope my Mr. Yugi box treats you well. I've sold 200 plus of these, and I had nothing but great reviews. They easily sell for $25 to $32-ish. This is an example of what can come in them. Paxic Testers and Collectibles, some of which are commissioned handmade items. Enjoy and keep up the great Content King UK Blue Eyes. Spoiler for one item. It's handmade from an actual card. Okay, let's see what's inside. All right, so here is the box. It has his name, his eBay, all that stuff. Mystery Yugi box. We have one lucky box that will contain a PSA graded card, so we have good luck. All right, Yugi box. I like that, very cool. Let's see if we can open this up. Very nice. Let's see what is inside. All right, I won't spoil it. I'll pull it over here. This looks like single cards. I don't know exactly what you're supposed to get in here. I don't know if it's consistent. Ooh, Gaia, the magical knight of dragons from MP01. It looks like there's something else in here because this feels very, very full. We have Gaia the Fearstein. So a Gaia theme in the first couple, very cool. Next, we have a triangle. What could be in the triangle, guys? I don't know. We're about to find out. This feels like a handmade item, maybe one of the things he was talking about. This feels like definitely some sort of millennium puzzle, of course, naturally. Oh, okay, maybe it's not. What is it? It is a Jaden Yuki key chain, and then we have Elemental Hero Blade Edge. It is shaped like it's gonna be a millennium puzzle, but it's not. That's kind of interesting. All right, cool start, cool start. This one feels like a key chain as well. So this is not gonna be only cards, which is pretty cool. This is, oh, it's in a bag. What is this? Is that a Celtic Guardian key chain? Check that out, that's insane. Okay, that's really cool. It comes with its own baggie. This thing feels really cool, the texture, I don't know. All right, I don't know what this is. These feel very flimsy, whatever this is. Maybe some sort of sleeve or something? I don't know, but they're kind of long. Oh, it is sleeves. Okay, we've got some card sleeves, very nice. I use these all the time, so that'll be used.  And then we have some stuff that's in a top loader. So we're gonna save those for the end, I think. What do you say, like 25 USD or something? So like, or whatever it was, or maybe it was, no, it was 25, it was 32 USD. Okay, and so, okay, we got some packs. We got a circuit break. All right, first edition. Not the craziest pack ever, but definitely a pack, so we can open it up. Let's see if we can pull what, borreload or something like that. We've got a Dark Angel. We've got the Ling Ling. We've got the Crawler Receptor. World Legacy Clash. The Duck Dummy. Self-Destruct Ant, cool. The Metaphys Dimension. And the Link Bumper. We got a Super Rare and Lunalight Kaleida Chick. All right, the Kaleida Chick and Super Rare. Okay, cool, very nice. Dude, are we gonna have more packs? It looks like we are gonna have more packs. Inside of this one is a Burst of Destiny. So it hasn't been there that long. A lot long enough for Burst of Destiny to not be out. Let's see if we can pull the Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer, a Starlight, something crazy like that. We have a Dangerous Disturbance. This is definitely a Europrint based on how slick it is. Magic Key Battle, the Magic Cylinders. Signette Cross Wipe, Heritage of Light. Flow Underies and Stry, the Reptilian Codal. And a Bayonet Punisher, so just a Super Rare and the Sword Soul Assessment. All right, three more potential packs. So you get five packs. You got a, we got a single already. We got a couple accessories. Okay, Synchro Storm, not the best pack. So so far, Burst of Destiny is good. The other two, not great. We'll see about the other packs. We got their Cytal Starling. I mean, this is a pretty cheap box. I wouldn't expect anything crazy with a Flirt Synchron. Okay, we will see what else is inside. And then, of course, you have the Top Loaders, which might be like nicer cards or whatever. So let's see, we have Lightning Overdrive. All right, so some recent sets for sure. I guess Circuit Break is not that recent actually. It's just not great because there's not much left in it because they've reprinted everything. Hinsprings, we got the, I don't know how to say that. We got the War Rock Generations. We got the Acre Fright, the Black Eyes, the Bujen Maesito, the Arm Sage, the Live Twin Kiss-A-Kill Frost. We always pull this card. This is actually a good card. It's like 10 bucks. So very good card. This makes 10 of our $32 back. That's nice. You'd love to see that. And the Final Pack before the Top Loaders. We're gonna see what's inside of those. We have a Battles of Chaos. So he must have sent this actually fairly recently. I must have not had it too long, which is nice. Sometimes my mail, you know, it takes me a little bit to get to it. Let's see if we can pull something crazy. We've had good luck with these. Might as well just put the Dark Magician to the front if we actually got it. We got the Dynamorphia Sonic Shell. We got the Euridora Fate, Leaf Palace Plates, the Kais of the Hidden Star. Dynamorphia, Stealth Burgia, and the Sword Soul Stryfe. So we did get a decent pull out of our five packs. Now let's see what's in the Top Loaders. And by in the Top Loaders, I mean, it is literally Top Loaders. So anti-climactic getting there. These are always nice to have though because they can be hard to find sometimes. Very nice. Okay, the box? Pretty decent. He definitely didn't show us any like special treatment. He just sent us what would normally be in here, which is what I like to see from somebody. So if you guys are interested in something like that, you know, get a couple accessories, a couple handmade things, and then like some packs. Check that out on eBay.

Let me do the honors. Let me take the opportunity to introduce Joshua. Joshua and I worked together back in 2010, 2009, 2010, I believe. And when I reached out to him, he gracefully accepted our invite to be at this event, so I want to thank Joshua for coming here. Again, Joshua is someone I think most of you would know, his amazing book on refactoring to patterns has had a significant impact on I think most developers out there. And you were in India 2016 or 2017, you did a talk on Modern Agile and you've been going around talking about that.  And you've now come up with this book, which is yet to be launched, The Joy of Agility. And I believe today's talk you're going to give us a sneak preview into the book and all the amazing insights you have to share with us. So without much delay, I'm going to hand it over to Joshua. Okay, thank you so much, Naraj. Namaste. And thanks to everyone who joined today. It's wonderful to give this speech for the very first time. This is my first time talking about the book.  So I look forward to any of your questions. So please don't be shy to write a question and we'll hang out the hangout room after the talk. The other morning I woke up and was laying in bed and thought, you know what Joy of Agility can form a little crossword puzzle. So if you're into not crossword puzzles. What is it? Scrabble letters, right? So there you go. Joy of Agility. Yeah. I think that Agile is misunderstood, but ultimately when you're really being Agile, there's a certain joy that comes. There's a joy you experience from Agility, from being Agile, for real. And that's what this talk is about. That's what the book is about, the joy that comes from it. So let's go back to 2013. And in 2013, there was a Super Bowl in the United States. It's the biggest sporting event of the year and it's when lots of advertisers compete to, you know, get attention. So it's a giant, you know, commercial event in addition to being an athletic event. And it was taking place at the Super Dome in New Orleans.  The halftime show was with Beyonce. And that was pretty cool. Then that's what's called the third quarter started. And a few minutes into the third quarter. The lights in the Super Dome went out. Only a few lights, as you can see in this photo, actually stayed on. So it didn't go completely pitch dark, but it was dark. Okay. The game stopped. And everyone was like WTF. I remember watching on television. And all of a sudden just everything came to a complete halt. Unheard of never happened before crazy. And no one thought, you know, everyone was like, what happened? Could it have been a terrorist event? Are we under attack or something? You know, what's going on around here? And gradually they realized, okay, it's not a terrorist attack. Something's gone wrong with the electricity. You know, we need to fix the electrical problem. Now, while this was all happening. There was a team in New York. A team that worked for the company called Oreo. Some of you may be aware of the cookie, the Oreo cookie. And while this Super Dome was in the dark. For about, I think it was about 17 to 20 minutes. This team sent out a tweet. And it said, power out. No problem. You can still dunk in the dark. Dunking means you're taking your Oreo cookie and you're dunking it into some milk. Typically, that's the very common thing to do. And this tweet went viral. And basically everyone started talking about it because it was so spontaneous. Right. This wasn't planned. No one planned a blackout at the Super Bowl. Yet, this creative team was able to get this thing out within, pretty much within a few minutes of the lights going out. And it just went nuts. It went nuts on Twitter. It went nuts on Facebook and Pinterest. And the next day, basically the advertising industry, which is always very fastly focused on this Super Bowl event said, you know, so who won the Super Bowl? It was like, it was a tweet by the Oreo cookie company. It wasn't some fancy commercial that took millions of dollars to make. It was just a tweet. It won the Super Bowl. So we have to ask ourselves, how was this team so agile? Right. How did this happen? And the story goes back a few years. At a certain point, the Oreo cookie turned 100 years old. And the Oreo cookie company said, we want to remind Americans that we are America's cookie. We're the cookie for Americans. And basically they formed a team called the Daily Twist. And the Daily Twist focused on producing daily content about the Oreo cookie or featuring the Oreo cookie to remind Americans about it. 100 pieces of social media content over 100 consecutive days. This tight knit team was formed. They learned how to work quickly and easily together to produce content every day based upon real world events. So for example, the Dark Knight Rises happened in theaters. And there's your Oreo cookie. The Pride Parade was happening on June 25th. The Gay Pride Parade. There was a Mars Rover landing. So there's the Oreo cookie. The wheels love that one. And then of course there's Elvis week, August 14th. Basically every single day for 100 days, the team produced content. And there's all 100 pieces of content that went out on social media. So this team had developed a capability to deliver very quickly and very easily close collaboration and excellent communication, incredible decision making clarity. And so on the day of the event for the Super Bowl, they were prepared. They were absolutely prepared. So what we can say about them is we look at Agile and say Agile is basically this ability to move with quick, easy grace. That is what Agile is. It's the Venn diagram. It's right there in the middle. It's not quick. Agile does not equal quick. And Agile doesn't equal just easy. It's got to be all three of these things. Quick, easy and graceful. And what I'll submit to you is that team at Oreo, which consisted by the way of some external branding companies. It wasn't just Oreo employees. It was a balanced team, as I like to call it, of the right creative staff and management staff working in real time to be able to do things like this. Another way of looking at Agile is it's quick, adaptable and resourceful. This team was incredibly adaptable. No one expected this blackout. And then within minutes, they put out this award-winning tweet. And yeah, okay. You could say that's not so big of a deal, but it did exactly what the Oreo cooking company wanted to do with the daily twist, which was grow America's relationship again with the Oreo cooking. So the team was quick. They were adaptable to an unexpected situation. And they were incredibly resourceful in very, very quickly coming up with this incredible tweet. So the definition of Agile, which you might have heard me talk about, I talk about this a lot because I don't, I mean, I think there are incredible mysteries in the world, right? We lost an American president here, John F. Kennedy years ago, and it's still a mystery. Who killed JFK? However, the definition of Agile is not a mystery, okay? Unfortunately, if you ask 100 people, you know, what's the definition of Agile, you're going to get completely different answers. And that's unfortunate because if you look at the dictionary, I specifically prefer the Miriam Webster dictionary. It's an awesome dictionary. And it says that the definition of the word Agile means marked by ready ability to move with quick, easy grace, or having a quick resourceful and adaptable character. That's the definition. That's what it means to be Agile. As I said in the abstract for this talk, it's not a manifesto. It's an adjective. It's not a management fad. It's an adjective. It's not a framework. It's an adjective. An Agile dancer, an Agile surgeon, an Agile team, an Agile mind, right? So now I've been working on a book for about five years. And something funny happened along the way of writing the book. I like to walk the talk of Agile, right? I like to be Agile, not just talk about it. So what I started doing when I started writing the book was I just started writing down stories, stories of agility that I loved. Whether they were from my own experience or from other people's experiences, I just wanted to share some stories of real agility. And I wanted to do it not just in the software space, but in life in general, in other professions. I wanted to share how comedians are Agile, how, you know, aerospace people are Agile when they invent airplanes or come up with things. I wanted to look at entrepreneurs and how they're Agile. I wanted stories of agility that helped to make people understand the definition of Agile. So I started writing a bunch of stories. And this is just some of them. There are many more, lots and lots of stories. Now I knew at some point that if I'm going to make a book, I had to basically categorize these stories. I got to put them into parts of a book. I can't just have a giant list of stories. So I started the difficult work of trying to find a category for each story. Where does this one belong? And if you know me, you've heard about modern Agile. And there are four principles of modern Agile. And I initially played with those, but they didn't quite fit all of the stories. So I had to keep going deeper. And I'd come up with some categories, then I'd change them. Then I'd wake up two months later and realize I need to change them again. Gradually, slowly but surely, emerged what I now call Agile mantras. Six Agile mantras emerged out of that process. Let's go over them now. The first one is be quick, but don't hurry. And it's a fantastic mantra by Coach John Wooden. By the way, let's talk about the word mantra. It's different from principle. A mantra is something you focus on daily. It influences your decision making. It influences your behavior. You're always kind of like looking at yourself and how you're doing compared to the mantra. And I do this now. Am I being quick or am I hurrying? When you hurry, you make mistakes. Maybe they're costly mistakes, right? When you're quick, everything's flowing and harmonious. We want to be quick. We don't want to hurry. It's very, very difficult to know the difference. You've really got to understand and look at it. Am I rushing or hurrying when I could be going a little bit slower taking my time? So this Coach Wooden here was one of the most beloved coaches of all time. He's considered the best basketball coach of all time. His teams won 10 out of 12 NCAA championships. That's college level basketball in a 12-year span. He's broken all the records and he's considered one of the best coaches of all time in general, not even just in basketball, incredibly wise man. And be quick but don't hurry was one of his mantras, one of his most important mantras. He would constantly focus on helping his athletes learn it in order to become agile athletes. They were extraordinarily agile. So I love his wisdom and the stories about him in the book. Be quick but don't hurry the first mantra. Second mantra, be poised to adapt. Now this phrase here, this used to be called by the way, in modern agile, I call it experiment and learn rapidly. At some point it was learn and adapt rapidly. And then at some point in all my studies of resilience engineering, the resilience engineering people talk about being poised to adapt. When you're poised, you are in balance, you're ready.  A lot of it happens before the need to adapt occurs. You've already created enough what they call adaptive capacity, the capacity to adapt in the event that you need to. Just like the Oreo team. This picture here, this wonderful illustration of the books filled with illustrations, by the way. Thank you, Julius, our wonderful illustrator. This is a picture of the award-winning flight of the Gossamer Condor, which was the first human-powered flight and literally the human peddling taking off, going on a mile radius in the air and a figure eight landing safely. An incredible example of being poised to adapt because they adapted this airplane within hours, days, constantly adapting it to make it work. It's an incredible story that's in the book as well. The next mantra, be balanced and graceful. So what does this mean? This is probably one of my favorite mantras. And there's so much I can say. I can do an entire speech about this. But what you're looking at right here is a mathematical graph theory diagram from the 2010 FIFA World Cup, which was the Netherlands against Spain. And these incredible professors at the University of London Mathematics Department, they basically created these graphs showing the number of passes between players. And they could look at the data from the Netherlands team and the Spanish team to see in general how much passing occurs between players on these teams. The Spanish team was more balanced and more graceful. There was a greater balance of passing between the players, whereas with the team from the Netherlands, certain players dominated the ball more and other players didn't get it as much. Based upon this graph theory, these two mathematicians said before the FIFA World Cup, Spain will win and here's why. They're more balanced and more graceful. Now being balanced is a huge topic we can talk about. I think to be agile, you've got to be balanced. And that affects everything, balance in your collaboration. If you're in a meeting and there's 10 people and only two are talking the entire time, it's an unbalanced meeting. If you have tremendous technical debt in your program, your ability to be poised to adapt is, you know, suspect and you're not really keeping a good balance between production and maintenance. You can look at balance in many, many ways. Being graceful is also extraordinarily important with people. Graceful with your customers, graceful with your staff and your colleagues. Be balanced and graceful is our third mantra. Now this one you may have heard before, W. Edwards Deming was famous for being an incredible management guru, quality, total quality management. His books are revered. He's an icon of management. And he would say that the manager's job or the leader's job is to drive out fear. Now this is closely related to a principle in modern agile called make safety a prerequisite in the work of Paul O'Neill. Hugely important for performance, for high performance is to not be afraid. And I talk about the fearless trilogy. I talk about some stories from all three of these books here. Three wonderful books. And I have examples of those in the book. Then we got start minimal and evolve. This is a graphic I made years ago.   I started with a list of stories and then I eventually coalesced it and got it more and more, you know, sophisticated over time to be a final finished book. Start minimal and evolve probably should be very understandable to anyone who's been involved in agile. We start with something small and primitive and basic and then we evolve it. So finally we have be readily resourceful. This is a story I want to quickly tell. Sir Richard Branson years and years ago it was in the British Virgin Islands needing to fly to Puerto Rico. And he's in the airport. It's a perfectly fine day. No weather problems. And the airline company says, hey, the flights canceled. No reason. No, they didn't say when it's going to fly again. Just it's canceled. So everyone's stuck.  But Richard Branson is not most people. He's readily resourceful. He went out, found a charter airplane company. Said, can you fly me from here to Puerto Rico? They said, yes. How much will it cost? 3,000 bucks. He did some math for each seat and went around the airport selling seats on what was Virgin Airlines first flight. It was a nonstop flight from British Virgin Islands to Puerto Rico and it was about $39 per seat. He sold every seat and they flew without any problems with Puerto Rico. He was readily resourceful. So to finish my speech here. I believe that agile is not a mystery. It's an adjective. It's a humble adjective. With a very clear definition. A ready ability to move with quick easy grace or having a quick resource from an adaptable character. I think it's guided by mantras. Mantras. Some things you think about every single day and hold yourself to. Am I being quick? Or am I hurrying? I've defined six mantras. It's realized in unlimited ways. There's any number of ways in any profession you're in to realize these mantras. So if you're interested in some new news about the book, talks that I'm giving events and more. Just go to industrial logic.com. Just go to industrial logic.com. Just go to industrial logic.com. You will be able to learn more about the forthcoming book. I've just found the publisher that's going to publish it. I'm really excited about that. I will be forward to the book coming out in 2022. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Agil India. Awesome. Thanks, Joshua. That was really interesting. I happened to read a little bit about them before, but hearing the stories directly from you was amazing. So I appreciate that. Thanks a lot. Let's see. We're a little running behind time. Yeah, really interesting. Thank you, inspirational. Cool. I think this good comment. So this is Zafar. He's asking, are the six mantras for individuals or organizations or both? They're for individuals, teams, organizations, all levels. All levels can be looking at these mantras for sure. With that, thank you, Joshua. And thanks everyone for joining in. Namaste. Have a good evening. Bye.


From my perspective, it was a relatively quiet year, but it couldn't have been more hectic from the next politic view. There were so many news. And I'm sure that this year wasn't as quiet as I had it this year. And Marco Speckadal will now talk to you about what it was like and about anything that was important. I'm happy to announce the weather report by netpolitik.org. Hi, welcome to the weather report by netpolitik.org. It's a bit uncommon for me to speak to so few people in front of the camera. But we'll have to get through it. I hope that we'll be seeing in person next year and have many fascinating moments together. One of the top topics this year was EU ministers want to create backdoors in digital communications. The German Interior Ministry used the German EU Council presidency to get some resolutions ahead. The problem with that, we either have trustable, secure communication or we don't. We'll have to keep our eyes open because this is a debate that is very relevant to our communication. But there's a new debate. Matthias Monroy wrote on netpolitik that this was like a medium peak within a five-year campaign that took place behind closed door. A related topic, the State Trojan. State Trojans are available for everyone nowadays or mostly everyone. This year the federal government had a resolution that it is also legal for the German federal office for the protection of the constitution to use them. So the problem remains, our security authorities are buying State Trojans from tax money to hack people. So our devices are all vulnerable and IT insecurity is being created. But there are good news. The Finfisher headquarters in Munich have been raided by the police because we filed a complaint together with other organizations and NGOs because Finfisher exported bad software to bad countries. In 2020, home devices gave testimonies before the court because Alexa witnessed a murder. This year the Interior Ministry or the Homeland Ministry as Hossein Hofer likes to call it had a new law proposal, a slap in the face to anyone who wanted to join the debate, any NGOs or citizens who would have liked to have a look at the law before it's published. So there's a lot of criticism on the IT security law 2.0. There are severe extensions of surveillance warrants and the German Ministry for IT Security could extend their power. They would be allowed to hack, to look into your data traffic. On one hand, the Ministry's task is to build trust, but on the other hand they weren't very successful. Then we had the BND, the German Secret Service Law. Of course we also sued them before the Constitutional Court, but the government was able to make that law official anyway. Next year we have elections, so they are in quite a hurry and we will have to wait for the process before the Constitutional Court. In 2020 we had a good year for good news and traditional transport media. At least if you're in the German Sauerland, you are faster with a voice if you want to transport data than with the public internet. That has to do with the failure of establishing a broadband infrastructure apt to its purpose. They managed to have to extend their powers in so many ways, but they didn't manage to create a viable infrastructure. We are expecting to have progress in 2025, so there's hope for anyone who still has to use their landline phone. There's no right to the internet just yet, but in 2025 they want to have gigabit internet. We trust in the market, in the free market economy. Here surveillance would make more sense for a change. Police officers were able to access contact data of journalists. There's a podcast by Idil Baida together with Constanze Kurz, because she's been affected by the NSU National Socialist Underground 2.0 males, where police officers accessed personal data from activists and forwarded them to right-wing extremist chat groups. That were then threatening the activists. And our government is still busy counting the lone wolves. Another very dominating topic this year, the extradition of Julian Assange to the U.S. because of his WikiLeaks 2010 revelations. On 4 January 2021, we are expecting a decision and this is still a political process. There will not be a fair process in the U.S. They are stating and they are making an example out of him. So the lesson is going to be, don't mess with the U.S. Therefore solidarity with Assange, solidarity with WikiLeaks and hoping it's not going to be as bad is what we need to do. Then we still used the opportunity to protest against the EU copyright law reform and everything is getting worse and worse, but that's what we expected. Upload filters are going to come, even though they said they wouldn't. But we can trust in our EU government to make a good deal. So some forms of copyrighted information can still be distributed, such as memes for example, but it looks like that is going to stop next year. But we have a project called Control-C that deals with the topics. But we will have problems here because we can't protest the way we would want to. Talking about the music industry. Music industry is using open source products and tools, but they are using copyrighted material from YouTube and this is why they had to stop their services. The source code is back off YouTube DL and it has effects on Germany because many hosters and other projects were affected. So this is a dangerous development we're seeing here. We thought that the age of copyright laws was over but the industry is rearing its ugly head again. A very bad topic last year was the EU resolution against terror propaganda where we have established, where a trial log was established and a resolution was found and it's not as apocalyptically bad. So there will not be mandatory upload filters. But the general problem remains. We have no democratic control of what is in those terror propaganda databases and we still don't know what terror propaganda is supposed to be because it isn't clearly defined and it's being interpreted in different ways. In different ways. For example what is considered by Hungary as terror propaganda could also be called human rights activism and now countries are having it easier to declare that terror propaganda and also in North Windwist failure in Germany activists are being affected because they're labeled as terrorists and that gives politicians and institutions the opportunity to cancel protests to bar people from protesting. Even though the law says freedom of expression is not up for debate but still we'll see what's coming. Well the network barrier is back. There's a couple of sub-federal level media institutions that want to basically basically restrict porn some porn sites and they want to require them to actually have a required registration to make sure that youth people can't actually use it and a couple of years ago we actually we as a society actually developed ideas which was deleting instead of blocking access but this time we don't really have a debate and we don't really have good alternatives that we can show them to make sure that we will not have these barriers otherwise we might have these barriers they might not even be included within a law but instead just a basically a directive from the administration 2020 there was also a cool against demonstrations there was a little bit of a reveal against the global security operation center which is basically a surveillance apparatus within amazon that looked at climate activists whether they want to start boycotts against amazon but they're also looking at labor unions and protesting unions and they know for example that in leipzig there were quite a few amazon workers that actually did participate in this strike but no people on the higher levels of the ladder and we asked amazon and there was a there's a nice quote of them it's never watching the there was never actually an observation of the activity through operative that is people that are actually working there right now so we are quite sure that they didn't actually have workers work there but they definitely know who was on strike so 2020 and was the year where we decided that 2021 we needed to have fingerprints on german national ids so if you don't have a new national id if you don't want your fingerprint in databases that you probably can't delete it at any point you can do that until december so get your own personal id until december in germany and someone called philand said it's quite expensive it might be a little bit expensive so if you want to keep your fingerprints you have to spend some money basically now let's go to sort of mix whether this year the conservative elite showed who showed what kind of competencies many important people had there was teodor guttenberg he was he basically chose the right horse augustus intelligence and also wire card and he basically was very well and he really understands innovative business models that help our business or at least burn a lot of money of other people obviously and 2020 was also the year where we first tested whether our catastrophe alarm systems work and it's good that we tested it didn't work obviously sometimes we use the wrong technology sometimes processes didn't work because some alarms were kind of blocking each other we're overlapping so if we had the zombie a couple x we all be dead basically maybe next time it'll be better 2020 was also the year where we thought that at least one positive thing would be coming from corona which would be that masks protect from surveillance that's what we hoped anyway in summer but by now all of these machine learning algorithms have been trained and your mask still helps against recognition against facial recognition but it's not very clear whether all the systems aren't able to recognize people with masks or whether or you should probably think that some systems will recognize you so maybe put in some makeup 2020 was also the year where a polish firm a polish company had a facial recognition facial recognition database that you could basically search through PIM eyes show that every picture anyone leaves on the internet can basically be used by all of these companies and these companies won't even ask you for your pictures to basically have their databases and there were some positive developments there's a moratorium that is some firms like IBM Amazon Microsoft will not be selling facial recognition data to security services like the police IBM seems to be seems to go further in terms of talk at least we need to see what the reality is but of course we need to see what the reality will show whether people will act what the what these firms will actually do this but we can see that at least there's a debate in the us right now around facial recognition systems and the bias problems that these systems are inherently what we're still missing missing within the EU is a is to prohibit automatic is to ban automatic facial recognition systems in public spaces in the EU but we actually seeing that these public that these automatic facial recognition systems are being rolled out more and more 2020 also saw that through sort of being persistent you might be able to get rid of a data data protection law so basically privacy shield was forbidden by the european court and it's still not allowed because the us cannot or will not will not make sure that their security services do not use our data so we cannot send our data to the us of course the problem is still kind of there because our rights still aren't used within still aren't protected within the EU so the the decision was kind of well strange but that's something that still needs to be changed but the advertisement industry has managed to make sure that there will not be better protection of user data and privacy so all of these dark patterns that we see where you have to go to all of these websites and basically say well i don't want these cookies i don't want these cookies and all of this is like due due to a regulation from five years ago but the implementation is kind of lacking so we still haven't done this and that's why you could call it the BER which is the german airport that has been delayed for years and years of net's politic of internet politics okay and we were more like ambiguous whether we think that this law is good or bad because we there should be a putback possibility so users should have a better chance of making sure that you can't be deleted completely that your content can't be deleted completely if you don't want to but the federal government decided that all of the everything that might be against the law will be sent over to the federal government or the police so there might have been a huge database but yeah the federal the german federal president has refused to sign it we will see how the reform looks the reform is also related to there's a couple of laws at different levels especially at the EU level there is the digital services package that had its first peak in december 2020 the digital services package and the digital market law no less than sort of like a huge new law does the EU commission want to make and on the one side this is about controlling the market power of large platforms like facebook and google but it's also about content moderation and all of these debates that we currently that we've had for years and years there's the questions of the identity how can we of interoperability can we can we transmit messages from signal to whatsapp should we have backdoors in there how about researchers and regulation administrations that want to actually get this data how can they get data because currently all of these big firms have access have exclusive access to their data and all of these research and they have their own research departments that can basically in real time see what will happen and what is good and what is bad and no one can actually control what they're doing and all of these things are part of this law it's about algorithmic transparency and control it's about what rules should there be within the internet in the next 20 25 years because that's supposed to be a reform of e-commerce of an e-commerce law of 2001 back then google was very very small facebook hasn't really existed anymore and amazon only sold books now the world is really different and this is not only about platforms but it's about almost half of the internet it's also about who the only thing that isn't really in there is who is responsible in a legal sense and 2020 there was also a renaissance of something that we hoped was dead already the comeback of the year the fax machine unfortunately that's that shows how the german health system works and this is not very good in a pandemic but let's be true let's be honest without fax devices we would basically be screwed in germany let's see whether we have an improvement there one thing that the digital civil society actually did was the corona warn app you can criticize it back and forth but there's no other country where more people use it most of the critique is a little bit is not very qualified we were able to make sure that we do not have a surveillance apparatus that we built for contact tracing which actually wouldn't have helped most likely but which would have made more surveillance for all of us even today there's no day where old white men are talking about data security as the reason for the pandemic but i actually know many different reasons that are much much more logical and much more true that's one there's a couple more problems they didn't really understand open source for example it's nice that we have an app that's open source but open source also use means that an app is developed more and more with the community but we have this feeling in spring the app was presented well in summer everyone thought well we don't have the pandemic is over we don't need to develop it further and then suddenly we had this second wave and there's lots of updates and lots of things happening but we're still missing some stuff like cluster recognition we don't really have a contact diary and we still need to make sure that they don't include more surveillance and there's problems that not all of the labs are part of this system sometimes your test results need a week to get from a to b to go to the system and then it's also difficult to make sure that it was also very difficult to make sure that we get to the latest version of the google and apple appies and this bad communication leads to less trust and less acceptance of this app and these are all problems that we might be able to that we might be able to solve but we wouldn't even need this app if we actually had made if we actually had prepared in the right way covid has also led to covid lists so you know in the past when we could go to bars and restaurants if you wanted to you basically put down your names and your addresses but you obviously didn't put your real names because there was no there was not much data privacy there and one of the big problems was and is that the police actually use this these lists to for whatever crimes they thought might be used there might be solved with this and here the laws and here the government could have made more accept could have made more acceptance and then something else what was kind of sweet last year was really really very a lot more serious this year because some people basically used these mechanisms of the platforms by people that we would have explained well you crazy so we had to explain to our families and to our parents that you shouldn't trust everything you can see on whatsapp or on facebook that was forward to you 2020 was also the year that we found that we had to find out and research a lot more about conspiracy theories we still don't know how much money some conspiracy theorists have gotten but we understood the system and now we're hoping to become rich this time around and it's unbelievable what kind of people there are around and there are many people who are basically taking money from people that are currently feeling unsafe there's also a franchise system michael balbig from querdenkens 711 which is the german covet covet deniers and zdf magazine royale has basically found found that out this time around 2020 was the year that we basically looked that we saw what really happened in digitalization of the education system in germany where did all of the money go many parents and students are still traumatized from the experiences during the first lockdown where basically had to had to print out pdf documents and then scan them back and really didn't hear anything after printing and scanning and there's and they're all really excited for the next lockdown at the beginning of january maybe at the end of the pandemic we will actually have real digitalization within the within our schools let's come to more positive topics even though the digitalization of the year education system isn't working out quite as we expected because our students need the appropriate devices and formats we have still seen that many people really put themselves out there to make platforms available that aren't zoom or microsoft teams so thank you very much for those who built platforms universities schools cyber for edu and other organizations you saved us all and you helped us find alternatives against the data capitalist monopolies it's very nice to see that there are alternatives but it was also nice to see that the digital civil society was very helpful at a point where politics wasn't and where it became apparent that we don't have enough protection equipment such as masks and face shields so people took it into their own hands shared um knitting um templates i love it but they're available now we also have direct twitter messages on e of g requests on information freedom act requests and you have um charitability so um donations can be deducted from the tax and we also fought for um illegal security and um losing charitability which means losing donation advantages there are some funny aspects the demonstration or protest seen for the it has been nominated as a candidate for world cultural heritage that is well deserved in 2020 our um our public broadcasters id and more open towards creative commons licenses zf did a better job admittedly but there's still a lot of room for improvement but and we hope that we will be seeing more progress and more open licenses because after all we paid for it in 2020 um system of sturz created a new single they didn't have concerts unfortunately i'm hoping for more content i don't know if they're in the if they can match the um congress program but still system of sturz worth a listen that was it for the the net politic weather report our motto never give up we we've never done so in the past 20 30 years and we won't in the next 20 30 years if we stick together and fight for our rights we have the opportunity to make for a better digital society so fight for your digital rights thank you for listening and i wish you a happy new year and a healthy new year thank you bye okay okay i hope i'm back we had a bit of technical technical difficulties at the beginning of the presentation sorry for that for anyone who's still watching i heard that it wasn't because of bots but because of a ddos attack i don't know if that's too but people are trying to fix this so until then we still have a few minutes until the next talk to have um q and a session macros becadal is here in the stream and he's ready for your questions we don't have that many questions yet maybe because it was difficult to follow the presentation but no worries it will be uploaded to our media dot ccc dot de where you can listen to it later please leave your questions and comments on irc and on twitter using the corresponding hashtag and the signal angels will gather your questions and i will be able to read them out macros would you give us a short look ahead at the coming month yes one big thing in the next couple of years is of course that the covet pandemic will still continue like on the side the federal government has made a couple of laws in the last couple of weeks the telecommunications law the it security law the bnd law that will in the next couple of months be discussed within the parliament and before to hopefully be actually enacted before the election and exactly in april may june everyone can everyone can go meet people and go inside and stuff and they probably won't be interested in all of these digital issues anymore i don't really believe that we'll be able to change something on a big scale because all of these surveillance stuff is in these laws but we're still trying to change something to mobilize people to get involved to make sure that all of these topics will be even relevant for the election and then we're hoping that after this election we will have no large coalition because in the past the large coalitions based on cdu csu and spd have really not made very good decisions with regards to surveillance thank you for that answer especially looking at the it security law what are is the criticism that we need to be pay special attention to what we need to contact members of the parliament about maybe one or two or three key points so for me i really bse overall is i have i'm i'm not really sure how i think i think the bse is very good which is the information security office in germany and i think it's good that we actually have this and there's technical people in there but the problem in there it's not it's not independent so the minister of interior can tell it what to do and it actually is within all of these security security administration it really wants to be in this security administration and this kind of makes the acceptance of the bse not as easy so i want it to be independent i want to make sure i want to know that if they find a loophole they will actually close it but because the ministry of that the ministry of interior cannot just tell it well no please don't close this loophole we need one to use it yeah and we actually have a passage in the law that you need to make sure to contact security authorities before he can fix security gaps another question in the german constitution the it right to it what's it looking like the problem is that we have this basic law that basically one of two basic laws that the constitution that the constitutional court has actually made but the federal government actually ignores this basic law and the federal government doesn't really protect it even though many people talk about sovereignty the basic law of integrity and privacy isn't really should have should be defended and currently that's not the case and as long as this is not the case it's just a sad state of affairs yeah i can agree more anyway we want to stay with that topic the right to integrity is not just threatened by it security laws but also the telecommunication act and there is a very large amendment to that telecommunications act what impact do you see from that well the telecommunications law is really something difficult there's lots of lobbyists that are looking at this very intensively but there's not really a lot of independent people actually reading this and that are willing to read this and at netspolitik.org we're really happy that we have thomas wudde who actually enjoys reading this at least sometimes and he basically finds all of the parts that no one finds because there's like um something where like you can actually get data like you can ask for data and no one talks about this um actually collecting and storing data just for the future no one talks about this so we're really hoping that the constitutional court will make this illegal and it's also about messenger services like telegram that really want and we're hoping that this will be and they are hoping that they can regulate them to make backdoors in there and it's a really big hurdle for us to have these messengers like telegram that are sometimes somewhere between platform and sms and that we can find a new form of regulation in there and they might actually be able they might actually destroy this current system and just include much more surveillance right the state of affairs is bad in 2019 i was slightly looking forward to the constitutional court prohibiting a sequence services act but sadly the new act was introduced with more surveillance and control mechanisms and also changes in the future of the parliamentary control program how do you view that and the changes the bnd law enacted by the ministers right now is i think it's actually not constitutional but the problem is that even that we won't find this out until five to eight years when the constitutional court is actually up to date because there's still laws from the last government that they're still debating on and one of the big problems with the bnd law is that with that we as germans are really a developing country in this terms in terms of having control of our secret service and this is what we want officially they have like all of these controls don't have enough people and the secret service has actually gotten more budget and they have the allowance to they're allowed to hack some telecommunications networks and the federal government strangely thinks that the thinks that they basically did what the constitutional court wanted if the bnd can only do very little but you can only do 10 or 20 percent of the of the networks worldwide so what we're actually obviously they won't be able to hack 30 percent of worldwide traffic but actually they that means they can hack whatever they want of course it would be great if they could hack and survey everything but that's one of those sort of like cheap wrappers well it's really limited their surveillance capabilities to 30 but in actuality they can survey whatever they want i have another statement which i can only agree to thank you very much for your efforts your continuous efforts to document everything going on in network politics i think i can say that on behalf of everyone who is listening thank you for listening and if you're still listening you still have the opportunity to ask questions on twitter and other channels paste it to rc2 which is the room we're in and i'll be able to read them out until then marcus i would like to know i'm a eu law noob what do you think about the service act so the digital services act the package will most likely be the biggest lobby war of the internet policy history which is basically about making the rules and conditions for all of these platforms within the eu and to basically reform all of these rules and to find ways to curb the market power of large tech giants i think what we've seen at the beginning of right before christmas is interesting but there's not enough focus on basic laws on human rights there's more of a of an economic liberal economic approach that we don't actually want to make these we don't actually want to destroy these large firms but it's that we want to ensure that there's some competition so it would be nice if we were able to have clear rules to have clear rules to basically destroy these large conglomerates like facebook google what and stuff if you look at facebook facebook they actually bought whatsapp instagram with basically saying well we're not actually bringing all of these data together but obviously they're doing it right now just to make sure that they are not destroyed at a further point and we i think the eu commission should just destroy them because they did not keep their promises they were only allowed to make these murders because they promised not to collect all this data and there's all of these google google is a similar example that is permeating a lot of different markets and basically bringing all of it together and has of these market power and because of this market power it can actually discover new markets and we need clear rules for that or against that and we need regulation agencies that are able to that have enough personnel that have enough personal that is actually technically qualified that can actually talk with these tech giants at their level thank you just one quick note to our spectators i don't know if you can see me or hear me if this stream is still on or if there are difficulties there's a there's rumors of a ddo s attack against our infrastructure so if you can hear me if you can't hear me don't worry it's recorded it will be uploaded to media dot ccc dot org including the presentation and i've just uh been notified that recording has worked out perfectly so you can listen to the talk again one of the last questions for today would you tell us in december we were very angry about how the interior ministry uh hardly contributed what would be your vision of how could how could we get more participation there laughing the ministry for interior basically has had four needed four tries to get this law through parliament and so one thing that would be helpful would be to have all of these law drop out of these drafts of laws published in the on the internet because they're already out there to lobbyists and currently it's us doing it so it would be nice if the interior ministry would actually pay someone to do this and then it would be good if we had longer deliberation times longer times to reply to um to deliberate there and then so that we know and then to have a more transparent process so we know which lobbyists had what effect and when did when did the lobbyists when were the lobbyists involved at which point i think the um large coalition the current term government had this in their coalition agreement but actually we haven't seen it at all it's possible and it would be very it would be easy to have this um it security law which is also which is only about Huawei 5g where we found a sort of compromise that makes it very very unimportant whether it's Huawei but the topic is a lot more relevant a lot more important and we should have more and we should have more media coverage of all of these other aspects as well because our system is very broken so we'll have a lot more problems in the future most likely and these are problems that we need to solve all of these security laws in it security and other it security policies are very important and necessary but with this government it's not possible thank you let's come to our last question um you filed a complaint against the saxon police act could you give us um information on that if it's possible in two minutes or is it too much i would need to read up on that because there's some a lot of it has happened in the last couple of days what i can say is that we are currently in court with many of them and then you need to wait whether the court actually accepts your lawsuit and then it takes a long time until it's actually decided now as you've said we have a number of um laws in the past um that are still where we actually have filed a suit and there's still not just discussed despite them being five years older and within this pandemic obviously there's even more problems and i don't think it's possible to actually file this quickly okay thank you very much we'll take that impetus would be a good project looking at the year different police laws and lawsuits against it to document that if you have spare time i would understand if you hadn't anything you still want to say thank you for listening you can donate to us if you want the more money or donations we receive the more actions we can carry out because the growing digital society is being um not treated with the apt attention by politics in all of the um parliamentary groups we still need representation and eyes on that thank you very much marcos for your good presentation and the q and a if you're on the way out please take out your trash please bring your bottles okay do that next year still we have a herald news show still coming up where heralds tell you what is going on at rc3 and we will continue with that show and after that at 19 20 7 20 p.m we have a site channel attack presentation have fun and see you bye


One of the aspects we see beyond authenticity and the captain of the ship concept you've used is the whole element of adaptive intelligence. We have a lot of individuals who are experts, right, who are in their domain areas or experts, and we need that, especially in an industry that's changing like yours. Now, how do we get curiosity to be part of their mindset? Curiosity, I think, is important to bring in different perspectives. Curious people do bring that in, and I think in organizations it could be through gender diversity, a change of ethnicity, for example, a mix of experience, but very important, a mix of exuberance as well. So you must have young people also answering some of those questions. And therefore, perhaps curiosity drives learning, and in that, I think in today's context, maybe it isn't, but I believe that there is no substitute to extensive reading. Curious leaders largely have an open mindset. They largely seek viewpoints, they largely challenge assumptions, and they're good listeners because that's when you learn the most.


If you want to clean up your body and supercharge your energetic field, start each day with a glass of lemon water. It helps kickstart the digestive system, fighting indigestion, heartburn, and bloating. It stimulates the production of bile and gastric juices, which helps to keep you from farting too much. It strengthens the immune system with all of that vitamin C, along with calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, and enzymes. The antioxidants help anti-aging in the skin by reducing oxidative stress and fighting free radicals, who I imagine to look like little cellular micro-terrorists. Not to mention that when you drink a glass of water, you're also naturally hydrating the body. And hey, we should be drinking lots of water anyways. Heck, studies even show that both lemon and water help reduce anxiety. There's just no going wrong with this amazing daily ritual.

Deep Flake, sorry if I've already covered ages ago, but why the move to guild it from Discord? What's the problem with Discord?  They're gonna censor dialogue. They killed some servers because they were talking about whatever they were talking about, like basically Discord stated that they were going to go on the same path as Twitter. So after that, well, we're out. Any platform says they're going on the same censorship route as Twitter and censor tube. We're out. We're still on censor tube because I have a lot of people following me there and a lot of amazing people that only follow me there. We have been uploading videos since 2006, 2007. You know, we've got 15 years of content there. So we really can't kill that, right? But I'm loading way up, way more stuff on the other video sharing platforms. We went off Twitter. We're done. We went off Twitter years ago, a while ago. I refused to go on there for a long time because it was censored platform. And then people Twitter, Twitter, Twitter. And I went on Twitter, lasted, I don't know how many years, like two years max.  We're out. It's just garbage. It's like same as Facebook. Why would I want to be there?  What am I willingly checking myself into a prison? Like why the F would I do that? Some people are okay with that. I want someone to take care of me.


on, Mary Fee, James Dornan and others. None of us wishes to see the types of harm that can be associated with alcohol impacting on individuals, on their families or on the communities. Our work on protecting children and on tackling alcohol-related violence must continue. That is why the cashback for communities—the £75 million that is spent on diversionary activities—is most important. I would like to mention the Lloyd's partnership drugs initiative, which, just a minute, the alcohol-related close links to ADPs. Over since 2001, Lloyd's contributed £21 million to that and the Government's £700,000. I was going to mention your CPOs. I welcome your question, Mr Henry, about community payback orders. They are very much a robust and credible alternative to custodial sentences. They facilitate the payback to the communities, but at the same time they are underlying and addressing the causes of offending. They are not a soft option. They have been proven to work. Individuals released from a custodial sentence of six months or less are reconvicted more than twice as often as those given CPOs. There have been 18,600 CPOs since commenced in 2013-14 compared to 16,100 in the previous year. I was even at a meeting today where offending among young people is dramatically declining. It has been unpaid work, amounting to some 1.8 million hours, which has been imposed on offenders for their offence, but paying back to the communities. I hope that the member is pleased as I am about that. Jimine Eadie mentioned photo voice, which was on last night in the Parliament and the Serenity Café. I began with a brief reflection on a visit that I took a few weeks ago to the Serenity Café, although, like many members here, I have popped round there for a quiet bite rather than just being in this building all the time. I was privileged to go formally there to see the many local projects assisting individuals in recovery from addiction, be that alcohol, drugs or both. On that occasion, I was delighted to see substantial progress being made on a range of individual journeys. I am reminded once again of the need for the right local infrastructure, which is essential in supporting successful recovery among individuals and being together, helping each other. We have heard quite a lot today about what we are doing at a national level, but a huge amount of what matters happens at local level. I know from going out to visit alcohol and drugs partnership and various projects run by the third sector that what really matters to individuals is the support that they receive in order to overcome the barriers to achieving recovery and what Jane Baxter said about what is happening in Fife reinforces that. I have seen that it takes a lot of strength and commitment on the part of individuals to achieve recovery. I would like to pay tribute to those individuals who are working towards recovery and those who are supporting them, in particular to our alcohol and drugs partnership, to the many third sector partners who deliver front-line services to the NHS staff who work tirelessly, often in challenging circumstances where alcohol is concerned and, of course, Police Scotland. Yesterday, I visited Lanarkshire alcohol and drugs partnership and they are leading the way with the work that they have done. They have won awards and what struck me very forcibly was that they have recovering alcoholics and drug addicts now offering that peer support that is so important. If you have the support of someone who has already been through that journey, that just makes so much more difference. Many of the alcohol and drug partnerships recognise the need to do more, to drill down, to reach out, to offer their services to those who are facing homelessness, offenders and those who are coming out of prison. Just today, I had a meeting with ministerial colleagues across portfolios to see what can be done by all of us to offer the services that they need. We have heard today and spoken today about the places of safety in the evenings. ADPs are locally responsible for assessing what the requirements are in their areas and for putting the best arrangements in place. Some opt for safe zone buses and I launched the Edinburgh one just a couple of months ago, and we have provided funding for those in Edinburgh and Dundee, but other models are used in other areas such as streets initiatives with street pastures and taxi marshals in some other places. However, as Christian Eilard mentioned, it is not just about the community's responsibility, it is about our individual responsibility. While it is important that places of safety are available, they need to be evidence and we need, as many have mentioned, to prevent circumstances where those are required in the first place. A society where alcohol consumption and drinking to get drunk are normalised is, by no means, unique to Scotland, but the consumption and the alcohol-related harms that we see here are pretty stark. NHS Health Scotland's MESAS programme, monitoring and evaluating Scotland's alcohol strategy, is, as Dr Simpson mentioned, invaluable in that respect. We know that Scots drink about a fifth more than their counterparts in England and Wales and that, of course, fuels the much higher levels of alcohol-related harms. Alcohol is now 60 per cent more affordable than it was in 1980, with the trend being driven by off-trade sales. It is disappointing that the Tories have broken the link on that and that the duties on alcohol are not keeping pace with us. I think that somebody mentioned the harms that are caused and the costs that that has on the public purse. The Labour Benchants mentioned the social responsibility, Levy, and it is something that, along with our finance colleagues, we can look at pubs and supermarkets, still report challenges, even though the economy is recovering. I think that introducing it might not be without its challenges. Despite falling by 9 per cent between 2009 and 2013, including a 2 per cent decline last year, the volume of pure alcohol sold in Scotland per adult has increased by 5 per cent between 1994 and 2013. Per adult sales in Scotland, it has been 17 to 19 per cent higher than England and Wales over the past five years. That difference has largely been due to spirit sales. In conclusion, the debate that we have had today will help us to take forward the strategy further. I return to the world health organisation priorities for action and alcohol, which was our starting point today. The preventative measures that who recommends on price availability, marketing and unmarketing, I have written to my counterpart at Westminster and I am pleased to say that my Welsh counterpart is backing me up on the request that we had on advertising. I very much hope that we can reach consensus that the next stage of the journey on tackling our nation's relationship with alcohol needs the strong backbone which the world health organisation priorities provide. I look forward to discussing the proposals in Richard Simpson's bill and, while I anticipate a more formal consultation process on the next phase of our strategy and due course, at this stage I welcome any and all contributions to the next steps. As Minister for Public Health, I will gladly discuss ideas with all members in the coming weeks and months. Thank you Minister. That concludes the debate on making progress on change in Scotland's relationship with alcohol. We now move to decision time. There are two questions to be put as a result of today's business. The first question is at amendment 13358.1, in the name of Jenny Marra, which seeks to amend motion 13358 in the name of Shona Robison. On making progress on changing Scotland's relationship with alcohol be agreed to, are we all agreed? The amendment is there for agreed to. The next question is at amendment 13358, in the name of Shona Robison, as amended, on making progress on changing Scotland's relationship with alcohol be agreed to, are we all agreed? The motion is there for agreed to. That concludes decision time and I now close this meeting.
