In this lecture, the book 1 of the Hunger Games is analysed from a food and nutrition security perspective. highlighting the importance food and hunger have throughout the book. Hunger is used as political device and social trigger, and food is clearly presented as a society organiser and life determinant. One third of the book is about food and Katniss' only goal in life is to seek food for her and her family. Actually, she wins the Hunger Games because she knows how to get food in the forest and how to destroy the other's food.
This book is a powerful tool to explain the triggering mechanisms of hunger, food as a weapon and the importance of food agency.

Fast then Faster - a Retrospective on RetrospectivesAtlassian
So, you’re agile. You’ve got a healthy backlog, you understand your team’s velocity, and you’re holding retrospectives. You’re in a good place – right? Maybe not. You may have a handle on the quality of your stories & their output, but what about that of your team and those around you? Or your agile processes themselves?
Retrospectives are a great way to get feedback, but they are often both undervalued and underutilized as a tool for improvement. Agile gets you fast, but retrospectives get you faster.
We’ll walk you through what good and bad retrospectives look like, how to tell when they’re failing, and (more importantly) how to uncover what's lurking behind bias, ego, and protocol.
If you’re in doubt if this session is for you, suggest a team under pressure skips the retrospective this week, and see just how quickly they drop the most important part of the agile cycle!
