Well today, we're in 2 Peter. We're going to be looking at chapter 1 verses 1 through 4 and It's one of those those passages that I actually enjoy this passage on the personal level very much And so I pray that we'll enjoy it together as a congregation as we go through 2 Peter and Normally what I do when I begin a new book for those who've never been part of a study with me is I'll give some brief introduction so that we have the context because If you receive a letter that letter will always have a context There's always a reason or a purpose that letter was written to you that email that text message Whatever it is There's a reason that it's being sent to you and so we're going to be discovering that reason here Why was 2 Peter written and we're going to be looking at that in our introduction and we'll see why in just a Moment, but let's begin reading at verse 1 2 Peter Chapter 1 verse 1. I'll read to verse 4. We'll get into our study 2 Peter chapter 1 beginning at verse 1 reading to verse 4 the apostle Peter writes Simon Peter a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ To those who have obtained like precious faith with us By the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life in godliness Through the knowledge of him who called us by glory and virtue By which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature Having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust And so as we begin allow me to give a few basic facts concerning this particular letter Obviously, it's referred to in our Bibles as 2 Peter And it was written shortly after the first letter and the date for those who take notes and are interested in things Like that would be right around the year 64 through 66 AD Notice with me that he doesn't name the recipients They're unnamed But it has to be the same group that he had written his first letter to because in 2nd Peter chapter 3 verse 1 He says this he says beloved I now write to you this second epistle In both of which I stir up your pure minds by way of reminder And so though they're unnamed it's the same people who received the first letter Now there is as I mentioned a moment ago. There is a reason for this letter being written and The key purpose is to cultivate Christian character by being conformed to Jesus Christ He wants to make it very clear that believers have been called to know Jesus Christ And he reminds them that they're called out of the corruption of the world to be conformed to Jesus And what he's going to do and we'll see this in verses 5 through 8 is he forges a chain of 8 Christian Virtues and he's wanting to point out that their faith is useless if they don't live up to the purpose for which they were called and So believers have been called in order to be conformed to the image That's why you were saved to be conformed to the image of Jesus Christ God wants you to not only have faith But he also wants you to have love and when we look at in verse 5 through 8 when we look at the 8 virtues that he List out there it'll start with faith it ends with love and he wants us to have these kinds of things So God wants us to have virtues he wants our life to be something that demonstrates that we have a relationship with God But there is something that will prevent you from being conformed into the image of Christ and what can Prevent that or at least can hinder that what can be an obstacle is false teaching false teachers can influence you Away from the work that God wants to do through his word and by his spirit And what they'll do is they will inject into your life things that are not true about God And they'll undermine your faith and though they may not be able to steal your salvation They certainly can make you useless in the kingdom of God And so not only does he want his readers to know that God wants to cultivate in them Conformity to Christ, but he also is warning them against false teachers who are creeping in to the church bringing false doctrines You see as long as you Have a mindset a person has a mindset That it really doesn't matter what you believe as long as you believe something Then you're susceptible to false teaching But if you're the kind of person who knows that all scripture has been given by inspiration of God in his profitable for Doctrine correction for reproof and instruction and righteousness that the man of God may be Thoroughly furnished equipped for every good work if you understand that Then you're gonna understand that God gave you the word of God to build you up in your faith and to conform you into the image Of Jesus Christ and because all scripture is given by inspiration Then you're gonna know that God's word actually has a work that it'll perform in you So a person who doesn't value that who doesn't walk in truth even though Jesus said sanctify them in truth Thy word is truth Even though God's word tells us we need to be sanctified set apart by truth If we get caught up just emotionally wanting to feel God and feel good about God And we're not in God's word studying it and growing in it Then we are susceptible to false doctrine false teachers and what a false teacher will do will he will Undermine or she will overwhelm your faith with bad teaching to the point that it makes you Ineffective in your spiritual life And so the apostle Peter quite obviously wants people to know the truth that sets them free And so he's saying I want you to know who Jesus is I want to cultivate in you the the the character of God so that you are Being built up in your most holy faith and then secondly because he's aware that false teachers creep in and undermine He's warning them about false doctrine, and you'll see this as we go through 2nd Peter early in the history of the church There were certain individuals false Brethren false teachers who came into the church and they brought with them false doctrines And the result was to undermine the faith of believers in the book of Jude in verse 4 Jude writes for certain individuals whose condemnation was written about long ago Have secretly slipped in among you They are ungodly people who pervert the grace of our God into license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord they secretly slip in amongst you and they undermine the work of God Our church has been going this fellowship here has been going over 31 years now and On occasion we have people who have secretly brought in what the scriptures called damning heresies Things that are not true We have had after church services. We have our our ushers and those who help us in the fellowship here They sweep through all of the pews there and have found Literature that has been left behind by people who are presenting false doctrine We've had them come on to the church grounds and go into the parking lot and leave brochures on Wind shields and they're bringing false doctrine. We've had them enter into Bible studies and At the end of the Bible study want to debate their points bringing in false doctrine It's happened over the years on more than one occasion And so they do slip in and they do try to bring in their doctrine and they do try to undermine And so the apostle Peter here is simply saying that he wants them to be conformed into the image of Jesus Christ And to be aware of the fact that truth really exists and there are those who undermine the truth and they're called false teachers And you'll see this as we go through second Peter You'll see it as being a large part of chapter 2 and it's a large part of chapter 3 as he speaks concerning these things And so the antidote to being infected with bad doctrine is keep close Watch over your life and stay close to the word of God. You see there are false teachers But there are the genuine and the genuine teacher spends time teaching not just out of the Bible But actually teaching through the Bible because it's the teaching of the whole counsel of God That has its greatest effect and it's what Jesus taught us to do Remember in what is called the Great Commission in Matthew chapter 28 verses 19 and 20 Remember how the Lord Jesus Christ speaking there said go therefore Make disciples of all the nations Baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit Teaching them to observe all things that I've commanded you and lower them with you always even to the end of the age When you look at that scripture there and you look at the the portion of scripture and a lot of times people will say Well the main verb of that is when he says go into all the world and that's the main verb But the fact of the matter is is that isn't the main verb and that was in his main emphasis Jesus was not simply saying go because you need to have something to say when you go And so what he was saying is you need to go and as you go while you go everywhere you go Teach them to observe all things that I've commanded you and so what Jesus was teaching was not simply that we go because there are some people Who run with no message What he's saying is you need to go and you need to teach them you need to teach them to observe all things that I've commanded you now How are you going to know the all things that have been commanded you if you're not getting Bible studies? How are you going to know that all things if all you do is sing songs but never get into the word of God? How are you going to know all things if you have your devotions, but never spend time in the word of God?  They deceive and they and they deceive those who are innocent the naive the gullible and they profit by it And we'll see that in this letter the apostle Peter deals with them and and he even goes so far as to speak concerning their The way that they are he refers to him as being arrogant. He calls them sensual He speaks of them as being greedy and being covetous Now he's not the only person who ever addresses that the apostle Paul did Considerably and in one of his letters 1st Timothy chapter 6 verses 3 through 5 The apostle Paul said if anyone teaches false doctrines and does not agree with to the sound Instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching he is conceded and understands nothing He has an unhealthy interest in controversies and quarrels about words That result in envy strife malicious talk evil suspicions and constant friction between men of corrupt mind who have been robbed of the truth and Who think that godliness is a means to financial gain? And so Truth will set you free and the apostle Peter wants us to walk in the truth now as we look at this That was your introduction. We ought to get into the passage as as you look at this We'll begin by looking at how he presents himself notice verse 1 Simon Peter a servant an apostle of Jesus Christ Simon Peter it was common during that day for them to have two names So he refers to himself as Simon Peter We know that Jesus Christ when he saw him as is recorded in John 1 42 said to him You are Simon the son of Jonah you shall be called Cephas, which is translated a stone The word Cephas is also translated by the word Peter and so Jesus said your given name is Simon But your new name that I'll be calling you is the rock You're gonna be a rock Because God has a way of working in people's lives and changing them, right? That's what he does So Simon Peter. This is the only time in one of the letters. You see Simon Peter You see him using both names. It's the only time that any author uses both names and So he begins by mentioning my name is Simon, but I'm also known as Peter Why would you do that to remind the readers that I have an old life and I have a new one Everyone in this room before you were saved have a reputation.  We know him this person likes to the club or whatever you you had that reputation And that's what you were known for so the apostle doesn't have a problem reminding people that at one time I was a natural man. He doesn't have a problem with that But he also wants to let him know that what I used to be is not what I am now So what I was then is now been eclipsed by what I am now, so I was once lost, but now I'm found I was once blind now I see I was once unsaved and now I'm saved I had an old nature now I have the new and that's called being born again So he begins right away by letting us know this is a person who had an old life But he has the new in Jesus Christ and as the new in Jesus Christ He refers to himself as a servant He's a servant and an apostle So not only did it did I have an old life, but I have a new one and my new life consists of me being a servant Now the word servant means it's an individual who's devoted to somebody else Disregarding their own interest and he's saying I am a servant I am devoted to somebody else and I am disregarding the things that at one time were important to me and As a servant I am obligated to carry out my master's orders And I have been bought and I've been bought at a great price and so I will take out I will do or perform those orders with humility and with joy But with a great price I'm a servant, you know, we've heard the gospel message so many times That sometimes we need to remember the cost of salvation It cost God dearly for you and me to be saved and be called his children today When he speaks concerning redemption When he speaks concerning the fact that he is a servant When he's alluding to the fact that to become a servant you needed to be purchased He's speaking of a subject called redemption and redemption is something that Relates to us at one time humanity at one time being in what is called the marketplace of sin Using that image from the day that he was writing There were people who were sold as slaves would be in a marketplace and a bitter would come and as a bitter came and saw these people being sold The slaves would be sold to the highest bidder and So as the bidder is there looking at this particular slave The bidder would make the decision to pay a certain price and the price that they paid Was a redemption price. They were purchasing them out of the marketplace When that person was purchased by the highest bidder that person who was bought is Now owned by the slave master What the Apostle in referring to himself as a servant is simply saying is this I was in the marketplace of sin But I was purchased by the highest bidder The highest bidder was Jesus Christ and the price of my redemption to be taken out of that marketplace Was his blood Now that's what Paul would say in Ephesians 1 7 when he speaks of Jesus in this way In him we have redemption through his blood the forgiveness of sins according to the riches of his grace and So the Apostle is saying I'm a servant of the Lord Jesus Christ. I've been redeemed out of the marketplace of sin I am now his servant. I am his slave. He is my master He has purchased me now if I were a person purchasing a slave at that time in the marketplace I had the option of releasing them setting them free and So the Apostle Peter is one who has been set free by Jesus Christ And yet he has become what we would call a do-loss a voluntary bond servant Even though I am free. I have chosen to willingly remain as a slave to my master Jesus And it cost the blood of Christ first Corinthians chapter 6 verse 20 says you were bought at a price Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit which belongs to or which are gods I am a servant, but I am also an Apostle that word Apostle speaks of a delegate It's a messenger. It's somebody who has been sent forth with orders So I am not only a servant. He's saying but I am an Apostle Under orders to fulfill the mission that has been set before me and he's saying and I will do so Now who is he writing to he says to those who have obtained like precious faith with us So he's writing to Christians that word obtained means to receive by divine allotment. I have obtained this But I didn't do so through personal effort. I didn't receive this By trying hard, you know, every man made religion is of such nature that it normally will tell you in order to get Right with the God that you choose to serve You're gonna have to do something very difficult, whatever it may be The Greeks used to have various myths where it would emphasize that they would actually show that if I was an individual who wanted to have Good sailing and I was off to fight a war and I was a king I might take my daughter and I might have her sacrifice in order that I might placate the anger of the God of the sea in order that I might be able to cross over and be victorious in my battle and It was always going to cost me some great thing It was always going to cost me some great thing in order to have the favor from this God That's part of paganism. That's how pagans think the harder. I try the more I do the better It's going to be for me But in Christianity it isn't us making that big payment. It was God making the payment It wasn't by my personal effort It was not the works of righteousness which I have done but according to his mercy He saved me by the washing of redemption and the renewing of the Holy Spirit It's by the grace of God that I've been saved and that's how I have been set free to follow Christ the same as true for you And so I've obtained this not by some effort on my own part, but it was a divine allotment It was given to me by God himself God is allotted to me faith a faith that comes through his grace and this saving faith that I have is precious and It has resulted in salvation But this faith that I have been given to me to be saved is also a faith that I communicate to other people and I take that faith and I give it to others through the message of the gospel and God makes it possible for people when they hear that saving Message of salvation God has made it possible by his Holy Spirit to convict the heart of those who hear it so that they can be Brought to Christ in faith and so he's speaking concerning that Now he goes on and he says in verse 2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord I want you to notice something I point this out to you quite often But notice the order grace and peace he says be multiplied to you He doesn't say peace and grace He says grace in peace and it's because the biblical order is always grace before peace We live in a world that people are dying for for peace. They desire peace in the worst way They desired so greatly, but the point he's making is you can never have peace unless you have God's grace and God's grace is unmerited favor Peace is something that God will give to you, but he gives to you after you have received his grace When you receive peace you have the peace that you get with God Before you get saved you are in hostile opposition. You're at war with God God says something is up. You say it's down. God says it's far.  God says it's sweet. You say it's sour God says come over here. You say I'm going over there That's the hostility and then we create ways through our religious Whatever it may be our our practices to to try and somehow have a relationship with the God But the bottom line is is in reality. We're not really pursuing him at all We're actually running from him because we're developing systems that are going to keep us from experiencing his grace And the only way that I can have a relationship with God is when I give up When I give up I can now have peace with God The Bible speaks concerning the fact that we are in hostile opposition That the the unspiritual man doesn't know the ways of God the things of God and that we are in a constant hostile Opposition towards God. We're in constant warfare. That's what the Bible teaches very clearly What God has done is God has won the war and God through what is called the message of the gospel has given to us terms of peace It's an unconditional surrender that we're called to it's not a negotiated peace It's an unconditional surrender where he says I won You haven't I declare this you need to receive it That's called the message of the gospel when that message is proclaimed and I hear it The Holy Spirit convicts me of sin righteousness and judgment and I awaken to the fact that I have been in opposition to God When I say God be merciful to me forgive me. I'm a sinner. I have sinned against you and you alone God pours His mercy upon me washes me clean by the blood of Jesus Christ and as that happens I am now reconciled to God The hostility is over and now we have become dear to one another as that occurs I have peace with God When I have peace with God it now makes it possible for me to have the peace of God Because not only do I have peace with him, but now I have this peace that passes all Understanding that floods my heart because I have an assurance that God has done something in my life And that I'm at peace with him and I can have the peace from him So I was in the doctor's office on Friday my Favorite place to go in the whole world doctors offices Place where time seems to stand still and I have to go in for what is called a pre-op and there are many people in This room.  So as I'm speaking to my doctor My doctor begins to explain things to me and all of that it's not a serious operation It's going to be over. He says within a short time But he says but then again He goes, what's the worst that could happen to you and he smiles?  What's the worst thing? What's the worst thing? There's no worst thing at all. What's the best thing? The best thing is okay. I go to be with the Lord That's the best thing. So there's no worst thing involved in the Christian life is the best thing So he said, oh, you're ready. You better be ready. He says you better be ready You're ready and Marie looks at him says he's ready.   All I know is is I don't know what tomorrow holds, but I know who holds tomorrow and therefore I trust him He'll take care of it all. I'm not worried about that God's in control, but that comes from a Christian's mind That doesn't come from the world. That isn't something you invent.  The worst thing isn't the worst thing the best thing that can happen is you see the Lord Jesus Christ And that's what this world's all about. We're just passing through where pilgrims are sojourners. We don't live here This isn't my my whole method of Existence it isn't just I'm gonna stay here and then die and hope that when the worms eat my flesh that somehow There's something better buy and buy that's not how we live We know that God is in control and that's something that we get from the word of God It does not come through false teachers It comes from Jesus Christ it comes through his word and we know that God has given us this and therefore The grace that he's given us and the peace that he gives to us gives us strength We have this through the knowledge of God. We have a fellowship with God a personal knowledge of him and he directs our steps Again Peter's dealing with false prophets and false teachers will always sell a false peace with God They'll say do something difficult climb this mountain or go out into this into this desert and and and cross your legs until your legs, you know get cramps and and eat some granola and Meditate on your navel or whatever it is that they say you're supposed to do and and and it's always your efforts But I trust that God who's done it for me Notice in verse 3 he says his divine power has given to us all things That pertain to life and godliness through the knowledge of him who called us by glory and virtue By which have been given to us exceedingly Great and precious promises that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature Having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust His divine power has given to us all things true peace comes through the working of God through the grace of his holy spirit God has provided in such a ways to give us power to resist the assaults of false teachers and God's power has Given to us all things that pertain to life notice with me life in godliness All things that pertain to life in godliness the working of the spirit and spiritual gifts We've received is for fullness of life and a godly walk God intends on blessing his kids. He loves us and He wants us to know he has made provision for us and he does so once again Because he is so terribly Terribly in love With you he loves you Jesus in John 10 verse 10 said the thief comes not but for to steal and to kill and to destroy I am come that they might have life and that they might have it more abundantly in John 17 3 this is life eternal that they might know you the only true God in Jesus Christ whom you have sent Life in the Lord doesn't begin when we depart from here and are in heaven with him Life begins here in Jesus Psalm 84 11 says for the Lord God is a son in shield the Lord will give grace and glory No good thing will he withhold from those who walk up rightly Romans 832 says he who did not spare his own son, but delivered him up for us all How shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Philippians 419 my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus My God shall supply all your need My God doesn't supply all my greed. He supplies all my need He takes care of me Give us this day our daily bread He takes care of me day in and day out and So he says he gives to me all things that pertain to life He gives to me all things that pertain to godliness godliness Speaks of my walk the walk of a believer Godliness is speaking of a devoted life a life that's been empowered by the spirit and revealed by a disciplined pursuit of God and Life in godliness result from the experience the experiential knowledge of God in the pursuit of God It comes through abiding in the true vine Jesus Christ and producing the fruit of the Spirit Now notice in verse 3 how it says he called us by glory and virtue Glory is revealed in Jesus and virtue shares with us his moral excellence His physical glory his glory in a physical sense was revealed in Jesus and his excellence was understood in the inner man And so he's called us by glory as revealed in Jesus and virtue Which is shown in his moral excellence, but he goes on to say by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious Promises through God's glory and virtue made visible. We have received incredible promises And it's through these promises that we become partakers of the divine nature Which is another way of saying his promises have resulted in you being born again The object of God's promises was to bring fallen man back to the image of God, which was lost through sin and We have these promises Listen to some of the promises you have in scripture. I could give you hundreds of them I'll just give you a thousand. No, I'll just give you a few John 524 says most assuredly I say to you he who hears my word and believes in him Who sent me has everlasting life and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life In Jesus we're a new creation if any man be in Christ is a new creation old things are passed away Behold all things are becoming new 2nd Corinthians 5 17 We've been blessed with all spiritual blessings ephesians 1 3 says Blessed be the God and father of our Lord Jesus Christ who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places In Christ in Jesus we have peace John 16 33 These things I have spoken to you that in me you may have peace in the world You will have tribulation be of good cheer. I have overcome the world in the Lord Jesus Christ We have provision Philippians 419 my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus We have power you shall receive power after that the Holy Spirit has come upon you You shall be witnesses to me in Jerusalem Judea Samaria unto the outermost parts of the earth in Jesus we have a new purpose Ezekiel 36 26 and 27 I will give you a new heart put a new spirit within you I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh I will put my spirit within you cause you to walk in my statutes You will keep my judgments and do them in Jesus. We have a secure future Let not your heart be troubled.   We don't get that From false doctrine guys. We don't get that from false religious systems We don't get that hope from doing the best that we can by crawling up aisles or By doing hard things like climbing mountains or starving our bodies We get that hope From the gospel of Jesus Christ And he has that we have precious Promises that God gives to us So the man comes home. He hasn't been in his home for many years as a young man. He had moved away But his mama stayed in his childhood home And he hasn't seen mama for a long time So he came home to see his mom He walks up those familiar sidewalks Sidewalks he used to play on as a child comes to the front gate. They're in the fence He begins to open up that gate to his childhood home And it's falling off its hinge and then he looks at the rest of the fence And it needs a good painting Paint is flaking and falling off in various places. It's bubbled He opens and walks through that gate and There's no more grass in the front yard like he remembered as a child It was over now it's overrun with weed and he looks to where all those plants used to be so carefully tended and so beautiful and There's nothing there anymore, but dirt He walks up the wooden steps to go up into the front porch and each one is creaky And he sees that it's in disrepair The porch needs to be repainted it needs to be rebuilt it's rotting and as he comes to the front door He looks at the screen as he's about to knock on the door and the screen is ripped He opens the door and knocks on the door and the door swings open and his mama standing there with tears of joy in her eyes She hasn't seen her son in many years. She grabs him and says welcome home son He walks in and as he walks in the carpet is threadbare. It's Been walked on so often that there were holes in the carpet. He looks around and the paint needs to be repainted and the smell of dust is throughout the house and The furniture is worn to the point where she's thrown covers over it to hide the holes and He's upset and he says mom. What happened? What happened to the house? What happened to the yard? What happened? She says baby. I don't have the money to keep these things up She says I I'm just barely making it. I haven't been able to take care of the yard and fence and porch and furnishings What did you do with the money orders? I've been sending to you mama. I've been sending you money orders for years Every month. I've sent you money to take care of the house every month. I've sent you jacks Hundreds of dollars thousands of dollars over the years that should have been cashed and used mama. I sent you money orders. She says Money orders. What are you talking about? What's a money order? Money orders mama. It's like cash. You take it and you cash it and you get the money. She says I Don't know. I don't know what you're talking about. What did you do with all those letters? I sent you all she says you mean with those little pieces of paper. Yes Oh, come here. She takes them into another room and she had wallpapered a wall with money orders She says I is that what you're talking about son? Mama Those are thousands of dollars with the money orders that you've used for wallpaper. She said I didn't know their value I didn't know what they were. I wonder how many of us have lives that have rooms that are wallpapered with promises of God We've never even cashed them in We've never never taken advantage of God saying I will be with you. I will never leave you I will never forsake you. You can do all things through Christ to strengthen you How many of us have promises that God has given to us that we have never ever said? Thank you Lord for these promises We just put them in some other room and never look at them and the apostle Peter says listen God has given to you exceedingly great and precious promises that pertain to life and to godliness cash them in Escape the corruption of the world Trust the Lord.

But anyway, listen, if you missed it, don't worry about it. It's a new day. Every day is a new trading day. You know why the market moved that much yesterday? Cause it was Tuesday.

It really, really is pretty large and we're gonna come back to it, but I just want to talk about some of the stocks from yesterday. So we had the BRQS, okay, it was the top gainer right there. So that one, you could see it ran from like 90 cents to $1.10, it just popped to $1.70.  It's like the fifth biggest gainer, but that stock did have a little bit of a move yesterday. And what else we had that made a nice one up. MRIN, I mean, oops, where is it? That one right there, boom, here we go.

But, you know, you didn't have to trade a lot of shares. Hell, if you only bought 100 shares of that stock, you did pretty well. But anyway, that was a pretty nice trade. I know a lot of you guys did really, really well with that one. So what's moving this morning now? So anyway, we're gonna have a few stocks that we're gonna trade going on this morning into the class, but there are a couple of nice stocks that are moving this morning.  Basically, you know, that's all we're looking for. We're looking to find and follow the money. That's really where it's all about. Remember what we always taught you at Cybertree University?  We don't wanna know what we trade. I don't even know why MRIN is up. I mean, I could, I could check the news, but it doesn't matter because no one would predict on the news it was gonna go from $2 all the way to 20, you know, other than to me it's more of a short squeeze, but that's basically what comes down to it. You gotta know how to play the game. So let's go through a big watch list. The big mover right now is C-U-E-N. Now for some of you here, I'm gonna put this in a watch list. So basically right here, it's gonna put this in YouTube because some of YouTube people probably didn't get my Twitter feed, but this stock right here was on our watch list. You know, obviously we start early in the pre-market hours and you could basically, you could see all the stocks that we did find that did make some moves. But this one just really pretty much out of nowhere just made a really, really big pop right around eight o'clock. So it wasn't at the 7.50 time clock. It just kind of showed up a little late. But you know what? If you jumped in right around 8.15, you saw the stock hold up. Stock goes from 5.50 up to 7.50. Lot of big orders out there, huge, huge run. Spread is getting quite ugly though. It's more of a category four right now. So remember, I always tell you, don't let that, don't let that $6 stock fool you right there, but a really, really nice move right there. Another stock that's on that watch list is the BLIN. Now that stock was the big mover from yesterday. I know what happened at 4.30 this morning, she ran from 3.50 to 7.50, and then now she's kind of backing off pretty substantial. So it's on the watch list. I'm gonna keep an eye on it, but a little skeptical why it went up so much the way it did. BRQS, another one that's had a really nice move. You could see it, another four o'clock move stock, and went from like $1.10 to $1.70. She's got a big iceberg order right here. You could see them here on level two, 10,000, 13,000, 16,000, but we have a pretty substantial one hovering right around that 140.  Now the stock, I mean, there's a lot of these things were moving, but the OCUP, I don't know what happened with this one. It looked pretty good early this morning, good pop, but she started to go back down again. You know, the stock was a $13 stock. You could see it's been just basically dwindling down to build some nice support levels here around $4, one of the first days up in the long time. You know, a lot of volume, 12 million shares, good volume, good tier sizes, archipelagoed as an order out there on an ECM for 10,000. You know, these are things that we're looking for. We're looking to find volatility. And OCUP is gonna be one of them on the watch list. This stock we traded it last month, it ran from $2 to $10, and then all of a sudden just had a gap fill, nice little pop right here, go back to your journals, see how you traded it, but if I remember the stock correctly, this is a pretty volatile stock, so be very, very careful on this one. Something a little bit more cheaper, something with a nicer spread, via VERB, it's not a huge runner, but you know what, she's moving pretty decent. It means she started this morning hovering right around the buck 80, she ran at 220. Get a little bit of a pretty wicked move right here for a very inexpensive stock, but you could see here archipelago with a 30, 29,000 share buyer out there, so that really kinda helps us out. Nice little cheap stock, nice little level one stock from what it looks like right now. Remember, being a good trader, it's not about making money, okay? It's about controlling the losers, and it's all about the three Ts which Josh taught you in phase one. Remember, we're gonna be doing phase three. If the stock is not tradable, you don't wanna trade it.  You're not here to risk something because it could be a lot difficult to get out of it than getting into it. Remember, you didn't make any money until you sell the stock. A, STC, nice stock, this stock also back in June, it looks like the stock is breaking a 52, actually no time high right here, but stock is moving really nice, comfortable 2.3 million shares. Tier sizes, eh, I don't like a lot of the ones that I'm seeing in there on level two, but we have some good volatility, we got some good support levels right around here around 13, so that one's gonna make the watch list. Listen, I am on the 10th biggest percentage gainer on the complete market on the NASDAQ, murder's 25,000 stocks. Look at that, we're at 24%. I mean, this is very, very rare of seeing so many stocks, so the pickings there are gonna be better and the list needs to get a little bit more selective, but they are gonna be on the watches. DARE, great spread, great tier sizes, love the Fausto flag that's being built right here. Stock, we traded it back in January, we're having a buck 50 up to $4, we know it moves. I like this one, remember it is no guarantee, but as all of them, this one looks really, really nice. EXLA, I mean, X-E-L-A, I don't know, it gapped up pretty big and started to come down. Have you remember this back in March, we traded it, it went from two to about $8, but it had a really nice move the last couple of days, but she's kind of trending down, so I'm not liking that right now. That's not a really good side. Losers, this stock is getting crushed, ALT, okay? So this is not like something that gapped up like a short squeeze, this thing got clobbered, but she's going up pretty decent. I mean, it was on the morning watch list, you could see here around eight o'clock, it went from 10.40 up to 11, backed off a little bit here, but you know what, I know she's a pharmaceutical stock, I gotta check it, but we know pharmaceutical stocks don't come back, but seeing a positive trend going up is obviously a very good sign. This one's getting crushed. Oh, here in the New York Stock Exchange, I didn't see anything. I mean, biggest percentage gainer on the New York Stock Exchange of 8%, that's junk, that's garbage, okay? WEI, nice big move from yesterday, she's up a little bit today. She's holding, you know? I don't know what's with these spoon ads. They're all moving pretty decently these last couple of days.  I mean, there's nothing pretty that's out there. Space in the other hand, we did great on that stock.  You know, it's okay to take profits once in a while, but that's about it. I mean, there's a good list there. I think we're gonna have a pretty good morning in phase three, but we all know something always jumps up and pops up when the market opens up. Anything I'm missing, I did not call out. Anybody see anything? You see over here what you guys on? You got too many windows here. It's over here. Did I miss anything, guys? Anything else? Anyone on YouTube? I don't know if anybody's, let me just take this up so you guys can see a little bit better. All right, so listen, I think that pretty much does it. I think we got a pretty decent list. Let's go out there and try to do well today. Try to make money today. Don't forget, see you in class. If you wanna come and join us, talk to education advisor.  Tell you it's a totally different animal than most people look at. Remember, we're just here to make money.  We don't wanna know what they do. Doesn't matter what you think. It's where the money is. Just follow the big money. And if you're watching us on YouTube, feel free to join us, like us, do a trial. Maybe do come one of the big events I'm gonna be doing tomorrow, where I'll be talking a lot about it. You know, come to our open house that we do every week. Good luck everyone, happy trading. And let's go make some money and be safe.


Leaders are readers, how to develop children's interest for reading. Reading it's a skill which we learn when we are children. Some children learn to read before they start to join the elementary school, it depends on parents always, but how we can instill a love for reading in children. Parents' role Parents should read a children's books since childhood like this the relationship between parents and a child become stronger, the child gets to know emotions by reading books and it becomes a favorite activity of a child usually. The child already at one year will be able to hold the book in his, her hands and leaf through it. Reading the books should be a daily activity, for example when the child wakes up in the morning, after a nap, before the child goes to sleep. The very important fact is when a child sees a mom and father to read books or newspapers at home, this fact conveys the pleasure of browse through the books because the children imitate what their parents do. It's good to show children that in the books are interesting stories, that they can find many pieces of information about their interests, for the little ones there are so many books with beautiful illustrations which stimulate their imagination. Reading activities for the classroom Teachers should use the books too when having a lesson with the little ones. To make children interested when reading a book to them it's good to make funny faces when in the story there is something funny, it's important to convey the emotions when reading a book to the children because this makes them even more curious. When we show to the children that in the books are curious things, they will love to read books. Children are curious by nature. I think at this time when children have so many digital stuff around them it's more difficult to make children fall in love with reading books, the majority prefer to surf on the internet and the books become less attractive. The children of today read the information on the internet, we almost never see a child read a newspaper to look for information. It's true that on the internet the children can find out the information faster, but there is a risk to find fake news. I believe the classic books are irreplaceable. Benefits of reading Who installed a good relationship with reading since childhood will see many benefits in this, like for example better cognitive, linguistic, emotional and relational development. There are for sure many other benefits of reading books since childhood, it was my favorite theme at the university I know there are many other benefits but it's impossible to remember them all. I started to read a book when I was 20 before I had a problem to start to read a book, my parents have never read a book, or maybe yes but in the bedroom where I couldn't see them, so I hadn't the habit to read the books at home. Do you want to teach English abroad? I think the first book I have read was when I was 18 because I have to pass the maturity exam and I was forced to read the books for it. I couldn't choose the books to read for this exam so it's wasn't easy to finish to read all 20 books but it has increased my curiosity and I started to read more books. I regret I didn't read the books since I was a kid because I am sure my vocabulary would certainly be much richer.

just say that i don't i'm not anticipating this being a problem we're gonna have a you know we're gonna be able to work this out you guys we'll we'll figure out a number that we'll walk in with and then everybody will come in with their list and uh we'll we'll figure it out it'll be between three and seven um i just think we're gonna be okay but mr mayor madam clerk soul and mr marrick can i make a recommendation i can put together an electronic ballot with all of the applicants on that ballot and then you can each fill out the electronic ballot and then receive the summary of all the the applicants so that you can see it graphically good idea thank you like to do that that'd be great okay and now i diana council member race mr mayor i agree with you we can figure it out but the but the supposite the the underlying presumption or assumption of what you're saying is that we're going to walk into that room with the x number of names ready to go but we can't for example have an email conversation amongst the six of us about that because that violates open meeting laws so we either have to figure out what the number is today or we have to figure it out in the room and then make our then cast our balance that i don't i don't understand how it happens any other way okay then i'll make this suggestion however any number of gosh i almost got almost went to rank choice there any any any number uh any number of names that we have we up to seven we rank we all rank seven names and then we um we we we put them on the electronic ballot and then we um are able to look at and if there are only five applicants we rank five names and then we're able to look at each other's rankings and we're able to uh just you know discuss at that time how many of those people we think ought to go forward when you when you say we rank seven names or five or however many are up to seven but if there are only five applicants five we you know one two three four five six seven we each bring that list in and then uh we see we've already seen on the electronic ballot everybody's rankings and then we're able to discuss that and figure out how many of those we want to move on but we have the benefit of everybody's rankings of up to seven okay what does the ranking do to help us what the ranking does to help us is um it it it lets us know that um you know five of us thought that candidate x was awesome and so candidate x is clearly one of them but when you get down to the tail end maybe there's some discussion about who those people are you know of whether or not they should be considered so would it be more in line to put it out for better cold than ranking because if you're just going to do five or more you know like well then then you don't get any information from other people's ballots before you get there look i'm comfortable with saying we all come in with our our list you know i think you know i think we all come in with a list of people that we think ought to be finalists and then we hash it out in the room and we do it in an hour i just sounds great let's do i'm with you everybody okay with that five of us may happen seven if there if there are seven or more applicants we need a list of seven names if there are fewer than seven applicants well you know that'll be that'll be easy to figure out yeah i mean there are all kinds of other things we could do but we can do this in an hour i'm gonna pretend yeah i just wanted to say what i think the ranking ads is that then if we decide to have fewer then we already everyone has a list so no we're not scrambling to figure out if you just you know if you just have seven people okay well now i have to pick four of them who are my top four we've already hashed that out and in the event that we have seven finalists then we're done so time saver you all want to rank them ahead of time i don't want to swear okay we want you're the boss charlie i'm not the boss i'm not the boss you're the boss of this thing and we're going with it okay we're gonna bring our names in i see a thumbs up from mark anthony okay we've hashed out several issues let me say what i think we know so far we're going by this process we're going by the dates and times that calc member reese is listed in set for the two meetings that were previously beginning at 10 or now they're beginning at 10 15 we're going to come to the meeting with a list rank yours or not your choice uh of uh to the meeting um of candidates that you think should be finalists no more than seven no less than three um that's what we know so far and i think that's a lot to know uh but let me ask if there are other issues that people want to raise or things that i have missed so far calc member reese um uh i understood you to say a moment ago that we would all come to the meeting with a list of seven names assuming there's seven or more applicants what you just said was everyone would come with a list of between three and seven names which of those did do you mean for us to use going forward i said that you should be the person that tells us what to do do you have some advice yes last time we did this we had a very robust conversation around this specific issue and we decided that it was really important that everyone come with seven names i can't remember why now uh but and and i've asked a couple of my colleagues and they can't remember either um this is really highlighting my confidence as someone who should be in this process great it was because i would have voted for the same person seven times that's why okay all right um so i think that we um i guess i don't see any reason why i should come with seven names if i only think four of the people to be are qualified to be on the Durham City Council let's see how it works out let's do it customer recovery out yeah my thing is that it's about the applicant pool if there's lots of folks who apply then you might want seven if there's just not then we don't need seven folks and it will go faster and we don't know that that's an unknown variable at this moment fair enough let's do it what you said mr mayor between three names got it right between three and seven names i'm there okay um colleagues uh is there any other issue that anyone would like to raise and if not i'm going to try to summarize this into a potential motion councilmember middleton yeah mr mayor i just wanted to say very quickly firstly you as an aggressive chair i keep i keep picturing mr rogers hopped up on like red bull so that that should be interesting and uh secondly august i'll get the red bull before the meeting good idea and i'll get my cardigan sweater too that's what i say august is is like officially my vacation month so if there's anything going on in the background in those meetings i can't be held responsible for it so but i'll be there thank you very much all right uh colleagues i'm going to try to summarize this uh and then i'll ask for a motion so move hold on a second madam clerk yes mr marron council i do have a couple questions um what about the applicants who applied in this thing do they need to reapply councilmember race i get thank you for raising that madam clerk i guess my question was when those folks applied were we still having the character limit problems yes some of them apply under the old really bad character limits yes okay that's probably not cool uh so we should we should at least give them the opportunity to give a more a fuller answer to some of the questions i would say madam clerk that everyone should have to reapply but that we are especially contacting those who previously applied so that they're aware got it and one more question want the applications to be made public from the point of application i believe they're public record and should be made public unless there's some reason that people don't think that that's true we just have to um create a process to do that that's why i'm asking i believe that we should the public wants to know and should know okay great thank you that's it thank you madam clerk all right um we have outlined a process which i will try to describe um the process is that we will follow the timeline laid out by councilmember reese with the exceptions of the 10 o'clock meetings moving from to 10 15 uh that we will uh each come to the meeting on august the 24th with between three and seven finalists who we believe are qualified to be good members of the room city council i believe that's all i need to uh i believe that's that's that's a summary of the uh so moved mr mayor moved by councilmember freeman second second by councilmember reese madam clerk will you please call the roll to approve this process mayor shul ah mayor pro tem johnson hi councilmember caballero hi councilmember freeman hi councilmember middleton i vote aye councilmember reese aye thank you thank you thank you councilmember reese thank you everybody for the good discussion that we got into the uh a lot of weeds but it's okay we we did a good thing mr mayor just briefly thanks everybody i appreciate it that's all all right uh we'll now uh we now will uh hear from the manager uh because our next um we next need to go into closed session and and uh i believe madam attorney do we need to repeat that language or can we just uh the manager's already read the language can we simply vote to go into closed session for reasons that the manager has um outlawed hi mr mayor it might be helpful to reread the motion again just so it's clear okay what the motion was all right mr manager do you want to read that uh mr mayor uh councilmember freeman has a hand up okay and also we need to set the settle the agenda settle the agenda thank you because remember freeman i was just going to read the motion i had i just so happened to have it in front of me so okay hang on just a second um mr manager let's go ahead and settle the agenda okay mr mayor a little a little bit of a confusion because that item number four so uh i have for consent items one through three five seven through ten 12 which will need to be you know reconfigured or complete updated based on your conversation and then there'll be two additional items i think that will fall out of item number four since there's separate motions and actions is that is that okay yes so i assume that'll be like item 13 and 14 but we just haven't numbered them yet right and then for gba public hearing is item 11 all right great you have heard the manager's uh recommendation that we settle the agenda uh can i have a motion to that effect so move i can't move by councilmember freeman seconded by mayor pro tem that we settle the agenda madam clerk please call the roll mayor shul i mayor pro tem johnson

recommend that we take a five minute break so i can stretch my legs and stand up from this computer um so we will reconvene at 345 thank you very much


user accounts and enrolling users in courses can be very time-consuming for an administrator. So it's good to know there is a process that will save an infinite amount of time. So logged in as the administrator, on the front page we go to the settings block. So administration, users, accounts, upload users. Before we go any further we would first need to prepare a CSV file, either in a spreadsheet program or a text editing program. CSV is all about comma separated values as the format of the file. The first row of this file contains the fields and then the subsequent rows. Each row contains a unique user record. In this case, in the first row we've got username, password, first name, last name, email. Each of those fields are mandatory. Then the subsequent fields are optional. There's in fact a lot of other fields we could also add to this file and it's well documented. However the syntax and the convention needs to be spot on or this process won't work. Course one and type one correlate as to course two and type two. So course is in fact, it needs to be the short name of the course and the type is a value that relates to the role. Value one is the default course role which is student. Value of two is editing teacher. Value of three is non-editing teacher just by way of example. So then we can see in this file the second and third row user records that correspond to the fields or values contained in the first row of this file. So this is saved in CSV format. We would then return to this page and choose to upload that file. The upload type can be performed in various ways. Typically we will add new users and skip existing. However you might in fact want to add all and append numbers to user names if required. Add new and update existing users or update existing only. So we've got options that we can determine here. Upload users. This pre-processes the records in the CSV file and gives us some indication of how the upload will proceed. And it's recommended that you create a small test file with perhaps a couple dummy users in it before you commit this process to many hundreds of thousands of users. We've got some settings that can be determined here including some default values that can be adjusted for all users in the said file. Upload users. So there we have it. Two new user accounts were created and those users were enrolled in the set courses with the intended roles. It might also be worth mentioning that the password with a value of change me will force the password change upon first login.


Welcome to the new set. We've been working hard to bring you something amazing everything's better everything's so much better I thought it was really I thought it was fine today. We're making this Chikudri board a sports themed Chikudri board for that special someone in your life For me, it's Randy When we made this we made a lot of mistakes, but every mistake revealed a new opportunity So you just work with those those mistakes and keep moving forward and see what happens And that's what it's all about This is cool Tim everyone tool Tim Welcome back to the party Hey Jeff Reed ladies and gentlemen welcome Jeff Jeff Can I get a whoop whoop? Hey, I'll just go get a new Jeff if you don't want to be my Jeff Well, the people don't like this show apparently Have you been seeing the comments in YouTube? I've been writing some of them So we're not gonna be silly We're gonna start fan mail if you have any questions, please send them in first question Would have been nice to see you complete the project Jeff can you please come stand over to my right? Just go behind the fence. I'm trying to do I haven't even we're trying to do a show that helps people And you're just standing here wanting to whine about it First we're gonna play with water and color and wood and tape and resin Jeff, okay, so this is resonant and it's oil based and it floats on top of water.  Just swirl this around just to give it some effects drum roll Can I have a drum roll, please? Oh Little dip diddly-doo-dah It's called marbling Under and up and that will let it dry and then we'll take off the tape and we'll resin the whole thing and then serve something on it fish We'll put some fish on it So we're just gonna take all this tape off of the wood that we used To protect it so tape is important because it has to be waterproof so the resin won't soak through it And it has to be sticky enough that the resin will get underneath it We took the tape off of this but look at all the crap we got all over this So now I just got to sand this off Really happy with how it's turning out with that scat rough writers green there We sand it off all the mess and now we're gonna put on a sticker. Oh This is weird Two Jeff's Two Jeff's now we have two Jeff's Off just gonna fit so nice like that. It makes me so so happy. Does that make anyone else happy? Thank you Jeff we're filming the cool thing about Like these pieces and now Jeff a Message from our sponsors So we just poured the resin I made sure to cover the entire bottom so that we seal the whole thing so that moisture can't get into it That's very important. Otherwise the moisture can expand and contract the wood and over time they'll start to crack And So we're just gonna get the bubbles out of here So so what we're doing outside again is sanding now people are always saying but you know We'll scratch will it scratch it's scratch resistant. We're not scratch proof So just a quick sand again on the surface Okay, wipe it off watch out just comes back to life Oil it look at that. Hey Perfect the great thing about this process is if you get a scratch It's not a big deal to sand it and then oil it again.

think that there was no way that I would be seeing y'all three times today on Super Bowl Sunday as a matter of fact too but hey Ravens just they keep it going Kaleis Campbell was on NFL Network and he was on there talking with them and what not giving his picks for the Super Bowl but something that they slipped in there and he slipped in there is that he's coming back for a 16th season like look I appreciate when people if they say something they may have a prediction for a player team or whatever and they get it right they go back and they like hey I was right about that hey cool great job but I also appreciate when people predict something about a team or a player and they can also acknowledge when they were wrong and with Kaleis Campbell I was wrong because I was a thousand and a half percent sure that that was a wrap for him after this season I was for sure that he was retiring I was for sure that he was done like yeah this was his last ride but he said he getting back on board again now will he be getting back on board with the Ravens I mean you know the Ravens like really love Kaleis Campbell a lot so I'm sure they're gonna work something out with Kaleis Campbell but Jeff Zribick he said that Campbell still under contract with the Ravens but he is carrying a nine point four million dollar cap hit for the 2023 season and he said you would think that the Ravens will look to lower that cap number and bring him back on an altered contract so yeah they they could do that they could do that now and what Kaleis Campbell obviously he's up there in age he's not the same player that he used to be he can still make an impact but he's more of a rotational guy at this point I would think especially going into next year you don't want to overwork Kaleis Campbell and this is this is anyway with Justin Houston too so I feel like it's very important that the Ravens realize and that the young guys realize that they got to step up in other areas well with other players in that particular area of defensive end defensive tackles and whatnot speaking of Justin Houston if he comes back that they could need other guys to step up as far as past rushes you need you you really need your younger guys to step up because you don't want to just be so reliant on older and like older older guys like 16 hey that's a long time hey and kudos to Kaleis Campbell there kudos to him but that's a long time and I just I don't want Ravens to be super reliant on him to where it gets to the it gets to oh well if Kaleis Campbell goes down then what I know you got you got Travis Jones you got Matt apique doing this thing too but I think the Ravens really like really this off season your focus needs to be on those young guys and doing everything that you can possibly do to have them take that next step and it's not just all gonna be from training camp and practicing all that it's gonna come from in-game reps as well but you want to do everything in your power to make sure that they can be the ones carrying the torch yeah Kaleis could come in and light it too but they need to be the ones that's actually carrying it so we'll see what happens with Kaleis Campbell but I'm glad Jeff Jeff pointed that out because yeah that's 9.4 million dollar campaign now you know that you know they ain't going for that one man but they you know they gonna work something out but that they ain't cut Kaleis Campbell and and allowing him to stay out there like if they cut Kaleis Campbell it would be to cut them in to bring them back I just cuz you know Ravens like again they got that they got some guys where you just know like they're gonna do whatever it takes to work it out with them especially when it comes to older veteran players and Kaleis Campbell is one of those guys who they will but anyway appreciate y'all I love y'all and until the Ravens want to announce something else or Ravens player want to announce something else we'll see what happens oh yeah one last thing Kaleis Campbell did reiterate that Lamar Jackson needs to stay with the Ravens Ravens need to get it done and he made a good point he was like hey safe instance the Ravens got five first round picks who do you replace Lamar with who you're placing with cuz I mean you could you could go out and you can go out and get somebody could draft the quarterback you could sign the quarterback but you already got your guy like why why let that slip away but anyway another conversation for another day I love y'all enjoy the Super Bowl unless I end up seeing you again before then but we'll see we out


Thank you, Amanda, for your words, but mostly for your leadership, you know.  And the way you've consistently stepped up has been really, really impressive. And you've been just a great partner to work with as well. I really, really appreciate it. You know, when the snowstorm hit a few weeks ago, you know, we were all calling and pestering you to see what more could be done.  We all, we're all connecting, all pulling together. But it's not just about pulling together in times of emergency. It's also times of pulling together to build a stronger future. And that's really what we're here today for this announcement. Chief Paul, Terry, thank you for your extraordinary leadership and member to it really is, you know, 40 years of building an extraordinary community and extraordinary future that isn't just focused on its own success, but making sure that we're spreading success across Cape Breton, across the province, across the country as well with your example and with your leadership. So it's an incredible pleasure to be here today to talk about housing. And of course, I can't be here without recognizing first and foremost, the extraordinary work and leadership of my two friends, Jaime Batiste and Mike Kelaue, our MPs here on Cape Breton Island, who are, if you could hear them back in Ottawa, constant advocates for Cape Breton, constantly pushing for the kinds of things that Cape Bretoners are wanting and needing and building right now that it's really a pleasure to be here with you all today. And in 2017, we stepped up with a national housing strategy that actually has invested over $850 million through multiple different programs here in Nova Scotia for over 63,000 homes built, renovated, retrofitted, improved, rendered accessible, real impacts over the years. But we recognize that even as we're looking at housing that federal money helped contribute to, there needed to be a step change in the way we approached things. Because, yes, there were rapid housing programs and rental construction initiatives and reaching home anti-homelessness initiatives and Indigenous partnerships programs. And those were all focused on building these units here or this apartment there or this complex here. And that's really important. We're going to continue to do those things. But we also needed a way to change the way and the speed housing was built in this country. And that's where the housing accelerator comes in. We've now signed well over 50 agreements with municipalities and communities right across the country. And what they're focused on is actually looking at the tools that municipalities like the CBRM or Member Two First Nations have to unlock even more housing faster in their communities. So it's looking at zoning, for example. As CBRM has done, bringing in the principle of six units as of right on any lot, that maximizes and augments people who want to expand their homes, people who want to build new properties, people who want to do a lot more to create opportunities for people to move into their neighborhoods, to their communities. Increasing densification, particularly around city cores and transit stops. These are things that people can walk to and from the transit that's going to take them to work. Increasing the speed with which we process applications, giving municipalities the ability to cut red tape, giving people the opportunity to use more public land or nonprofit land and convert that into housing. These are the things that are going to unlock untold numbers of new housings over the coming decade because we're changing the way this is done. We're talking over 3,000 new homes over the coming years in CBRM, close to 200 in Member Two. But really, once you've changed the way you build housing in a community, the sky's the limit in responding to the needs of growing prosperous communities where people want to live, where people want to move into. That's what this vision of rolling up our sleeves, getting things done in true partnership with municipal, with provincial, with First Nations, with community partners right across the country. And there's great innovation going on across the country. Just earlier this week, I was in BC, where they put forward a program called BC Builds where they offer financing to build more rental units, including three or four bedroom units for homes, for families to live in the communities they work. For far too often, particularly in our bigger cities, you get firefighters or nurses or teachers or tradespeople who live and work in a city but have to live hours away because of public transit, because of commute times, because they can't afford to live in the city. So this BC Builds program is creating specific opportunities to finance affordable apartments for people to live in. And I've been encouraging across the country since then other provinces to step up with similar programs that the federal government is happy to come in and match dollar for dollar with the financing to unlock even more housing. Yes, housing is a challenge right now, right across the country, but it's a challenge we've been able to solve before as a country. And we're going to solve it again, the way Canadians always solve things, by rolling up our sleeves and getting to work. It's such a great pleasure for me to be here in Cape Breton to underline the investments of the Acceleration Fund for housing construction, which demonstrates that we can not only invest to create units and homes all over the country, but also to change the way homes are built. We're going to accelerate housing construction, more housing across the country, more affordable housing, more communities where people can live well. That's the goal we share together. That's why I'm so glad to be back here in Cape Breton, so glad to be highlighting what happens when orders of government and partners work together, and I'm so glad to continue to work hard to keep Canada the best country on the planet.


Having lived through a significant transformation at HPE I would say the top three things that would be really really helpful to others who are trying to embark on a transformation are be bold, don't be incremental in your approach. Second is be brutal about prioritization and making sure all the resources are aligned to a discrete set of priorities and number three is making sure that the entire organization is aligned towards that goal or set of goals because unless you do that you can't get there. I started off as an engineer right and for me it was all about problem solving right as I went into the world of business I realized that that skill is really important and you can solve all kinds of problems. At the basic level from a strategy perspective you solve problems and you make sure that everybody around you is rallied around the same set of solutions and goals and helps implement the solutions. So that's what's exciting about it is you get a chance to change an industry which is not something everybody, everyone gets a chance to do every day.
