This is stock number 95588. We are here at Summit Automotive in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. You're new and used light-duty truck headquarters. Remember we are the guys with the trucks on 41. Today we are checking out this super clean 2012 Ford F-150 SuperCrew 6.5 foot short box. This truck has the 3.5 liter EcoBoost V6 motor. From this HD video you will be able to tell that this truck is in really nice condition considering the age and miles on it. Front bumper is in nice shape. Headlights are nice and clear. It's got a red metallic. I think it's red candy metallic is the color. We shoot all of our videos in 1080p so if you have HD capabilities on your computer tablet or smartphone device turn them on right now because it is like you're right here looking at the truck with me. No scuffs or scrapes on these rims. They are the factory alloy rims with the chrome covers. It has the Kenna Cleaver LT27565R18 tires and these tires have right around half the tread left. Frame and underbody is extremely clean on this truck. This is the XLT package. Chrome on the front grill is in excellent shape. The hood is in nice condition. Passengers side fender. No dents or dings on that. And the passenger side rim is in nice condition as well. As you go down this side of the truck you can see just how clean the body is. How reflective and mirror like that paint is. We take these HD videos so if you are far away or even if you're close by and just cannot make the trip down you can still see the truck, hear the truck and have confidence in the vehicle that you're looking at before you even get here. Now down this side I didn't see any dents or dings. Bodies in really nice shape. The back rims are in nice shape as well. And the back tires have actually I'd say three quarters of the tread left so a little bit more tread than the front tires. Frame and underbody is in really nice condition. You can always tell how corrosive a vehicle has been in, how corrosive of an environment the vehicle has been in by looking at the box rails there. These are in really nice shape and the frame and underbody supports that as it's very clean underneath. More rockers look really nice on this truck. Looks like that all the way underneath. Factory chrome step bars. Chrome tipped exhaust as we come around the back end here. No dents or dings on that rear bumper. It does come with a full towing package which includes the receiver hitch four pin and seven pin wiring. You can see that that tailgate is in really nice shape and that's a really it's got a lot of metal flake in the paint. Really reflective and shiny paint. Drop in bedliner. This one has the tailgate step assist as well. This is a safari bedliner or I'm sorry a safari cap and a factory Ford drop bedliner. And as you go down this side of the truck just as clean as a passenger side. Only thing I did notice on this truck is there's one tiny little spot right there. I don't know if it had a rock chip or something but just a little bit of bubbling. This back rim is in nice condition as well and that tire has just as much tread as the other side. Has the capless fuel fill and on this side of the truck very very clean and these rockers are in nice shape as well. This one has the tow mirrors on it. They telescope out. They also fold in. They have the built-in directional signals on them. Driver's side door code entry. Inside the XLT package gives you the gray cloth interior. We have the premium bucket seats in this truck. No rips or tears on the seats. They're in pretty nice condition. Weathertech floor mats throughout has auto headlamps, power pedals, power windows, and power locks. And as we hop inside the truck here you can see that this truck has 70,978 miles. Instrument cluster is in nice shape. Has a leather wrapped steering wheel. No major scuffs on that. Cruise controls, Bluetooth, and audio controls on the right side. The six-speed automatic transmission. The turn dial four-wheel drive. The factory brake controller. CD player has AM, FM, and serious satellite radio capabilities. Those outside mirrors are heated and you get the sync system with the Augs and the USB. Passengers side seat is in really nice condition as well. No rips or tears on that. The headliner is in really nice shape too. And you have your map lights up there. We'll take a quick look at the back seats and then check out under the hood. Back seats are just as clean as the front seats. No rips or tears back here. It does have the latch child safety system. Fixed glass rear window. These seats do fold up for extra storage and they lock into place like so. And you can see that the carpeting is very nice underneath as well. No rips or tears. To get that seat down you got to grab this latch right there. And we will take a quick look under the hood. I would like to thank you for checking out the video today. Really nice truck.

Hello, everyone, and welcome. My name is Melissa Armell, and I own a company called The Stock Swoosh. And tonight I'm going to talk to you about giving it all you've got. A lot of people have goals in life. And sometimes when you have a goal, you make a plan of action, A, B, C, D, E, F, G. You have steps that you think are gonna take you to the achievement of your goal. However, I very often have found in life that you can have everything totally planned out, and then there'll be a monkey wrench or something that comes in that screws it up, or something, anything, any person, any event that happens, and you don't have that accounted for in the list of things to do. And what do you do? You've got to go for it in life. You have to go for your goals. You can't let anything hinder you from achieving those goals. You have to do whatever it takes in order to win in order to achieve those goals. If your goal is to become a successful day trader, you have to go for it. You can't let anything stop you. And you can whine, you can make excuses. Sometimes in a bad day, you can say, whatever. You still have to get up the next day and proceed and move forward.  So ultimately at the end of the day, even if you have so many people that love you, your friends, your family, your spouse, whatever, your kids, pets, the thing is that they don't have the same dreams as you do. So if you have a dream goal and if it's training, if it's making a living training, if that's what you want to do is you're dreaming your goal for your career. You have to push forward. You have to give it all you've got. And that means pushing through the hard times when they come. It means pushing through doing more than you think you might have to do. It means spending more time, more money, everything, just going, going, going, not letting anything stop you. And again, who can say what those things are because you can have all the kind of action, ABCD, everything done and still something can happen that you didn't expect. And guess what? You say, I'm going to keep going anyways.  Don't let anything stop you from achieving your goals to be a successful day trader. That's what you want to do. If you have in your mind that you're not going to stop till you make it, then chances are you will because many people quit. They quit and give up before success has had a chance to blossom and quitters will not make it. The only people that will become successful for whatever their dreams or goals are, especially if it's as a day trader, are the people that are willing to keep going forward no matter what and never stop until they've made it. So good luck. If you're interested in more information, email me at melissa at thestockswish.com.


Good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to another episode of condo insider. That's the show for condo living and for people who live and work in the condominium community in the state of Hawaii. Thank you for joining us. I've got as my guest today and this is, you know, in conjunction with, you know, a series of programs we're doing about building safety. You know, especially after the that condo collapse in Florida, we've had a lot of, you know, inquiries about, you know, doing shows to give you information on how to keep your building safe. So I'm really happy to have with me today. I've got Kyle Pinale and he's with birding while who's the law firm in Hawaii and on the mainland. Hi, Kyle. Hi, thanks for having me. Okay. Thanks for being with us. Kyle, why don't you give us some information about your firm? What does your firm do? Tell the viewers what they what you do. Birding and while is a full service condominium association law firm with 39 lawyers and Tyler birding and the teams that work with him and I'm on one of those teams. We primarily handle the condominium construction defects portion of our work, and Steve while primarily handles the general counsel work and Steve while and also the teams that work with him. I've been representing owners for over 33 years with clients from luxury high rises to mid to low rise multifamily buildings to single family homes. And the firm is headquartered in California and has a Hawaii office, which is where I work as a construction defect litigator. And your license to practice in Hawaii right. I am licensed to practice here in Hawaii, and I laid out here and work out here. And I'm also licensed in California. Okay, you know, and one of the big, you know, topics that we get, you know, a lot of questions about is building safety. So why don't you tell our viewers, you know what what specifically mean what kind of special work does your firm do to assist associations and making sure that their buildings are safe. We work with associations of varying ages, Jane. We work with younger buildings that were are built less than 10 years ago, that still have legal recourse to potentially see compensation from a developer for any construction defects. We also work with buildings who are trying to perform reconstruction or update or repair conditions that the association has determined to require updating. And we've, and then also we've worked with older association buildings those older than 10 years, sometimes many 1020 30 years old. On addressing possible building at structural issues or building waterproofing issues that can result in structural issues, and those types of safety issues, but primarily because only one of those three that I've just mentioned have legal rights, typically, we primarily work with buildings that are younger than 10 years old, and that have a legal capability under the law to seek compensation from a developer. But let's talk about some of these younger buildings. And you know we're talking about like a brand new building right something that you know was built within the last 10 years. And so let's take a building that you know was completed, maybe a year ago, and you know the developers there and he's selling you know the units, and, and, and typically they control the board I mean they might set up an association. And they sit on the board and they they hold, you know, positions on the board of directors. And at some point, I think it's after they sell 50 50% of the building, then they kind of have to step back, but all of all of these brand new condominiums. The developer has certain reserved rights, and then, and, and at some point, the developer goes away. And you know this is a brand new building it's brand new spanking news supposed to be everything works right. So why should anybody be worried about the building, and having a problem. The reason why association should be concerned or should investigate, in our opinion, whether a building has a problem Jane is that if a developer or builder builds a building component incorrectly. That defect exists at the moment it is constructed. So the, the incorrect building materials or building installation is present from the very beginning. If you have some type of building deficiency like that water typically which is our the primary culprit for damage in our defect cases. We're at a, for example, at a wall that is improperly waterproof and start to get into the building immediately. And for many of these types of building components, they're actually hidden from view. So it's a homeowner likely wouldn't be able to identify whether there is water intrusion into the interior of a building wall or an exterior wall. So, a lot of this damage and go without being noticed. So it's an incumbent on an association was important for an association to have an idea of the health of its building and whether there is water getting into components that ordinary people cannot see. Okay, so let's say you've got a building that has a construction defect that you can't see. They don't, you know, and so you know it starts, you know, maybe allowing water in the building, maybe through windows that aren't, you know, installed correctly or some pipes, you know that are done and nobody can tell. Right. And let's say the building decides you know after after a while they've had all these problems with water released and they go out and hire structural engineer. And this is like 10 years after the building is completed, or maybe year 12. What's the problem of waiting that long to do something about this construction defect. What's the problem with waiting. The problem Jane is that every building and every association has a limited amount of time to bring a claim to seek compensation for construction defects. So you mean as they wait too long, they can't sue. Yeah, if you wait too long, you lose it. But that presents a significant risk for associations, especially those that are around the 10 year mark. But we would argue that waiting till the 10 year mark is risky, because you run, you could potentially face problems that take significant amount of time to investigate and if you start investigating them right at the end. Before you run out of time, you could potentially lose the claim. And so the, but before I get too deep into that Jane, I got to explain that for new buildings like new condominium buildings. There are deadlines that a condominium building has that start immediately after construction. So a street that applies has a particular definition on that starting or has a unique definition on that starting point, which allows some ambiguity and some argument by lawyers, but for purposes of this conversation I'll just say that starting point begins at the end of construction. So for new buildings. There are outside, there's an art outside limit, and then also inside limit or deadline to when an association can bring claims. So the outside deadline that you typically make here is 10 years, 10 years and that's called a statute of repose. Those means the deadline starts after a specific given moment in time, based on an event, which in this case is a construction of the building. So new buildings, they have 10 years. However, there are also inside limits that can override that 10 year period. So you have various claims that you could bring as an association to seek recovery against the developer. Some of those claims are research contract claims. So we'll call those contract claims. Other claims are what we call tort claims may hear of negligence or various types of claims like that. So in Hawaii, you have two years to bring a negligence claim or tort claim and six years to bring a breach of contract claim. And I'll go through some examples here to kind of identify how these limits work with one another, because it's very important it's, it is confusing. But, and that's why it's important for an association to have an understanding of what these deadlines are because it's very easy to blow past them. So, there's a 10 year outside limit and then two and six year inside limits. So that's, we have that. So let's use an example like you mentioned Jane in year one. In year one and association discovers a construction defect. And there is an argument about when when an association discovers a defect but we'll ignore that now and just say the association discover the defect in year one. Similarly, you would think new building. I've got 10 years or the association has 10 years. This one year has gone by so the association has nine more years to invest. Why should we investigate now, we have plenty of time to look into those those nasty construction defects later. The problem with that is, you only have a two year period from the moment you discover an issue for your negligence or tort claims. You discover in year one, that means you have only until year three to bring your claims, or else those claims are gone forever. So, and from year one, you would also have six years of year seven, you would have another deadline to bring your contract claims. So let's say you're an association and you say, well, we've only had one year passed by. We think it's, it would be smart to begin investigating during year seven or eight. You could but then and then you also discover various construction defects during that time, you could have easily blown through your two year period, and your six year period, and lost almost all if not all of your claims and potential for recovery. So what you're saying is that even for these brand new buildings that are in a brand spanking new. I mean they really, the association has a duty. A due diligence of due diligence to check into the you know the safety of their, their building to make sure there's no construction defect before that 10 years. The deadline passes right otherwise they will lose, they will lose the right to sue the developer. Yes, we'd argue that this is part of that duty of due diligence is for an association to understand one, the deadlines that it faces to potentially lose his claims but also to understand the safety and the status of the building itself. So if they want to do in a find out and do their due diligence, who do they hire to go and check out the building. I mean do they do a structural engineer or mechanical engineer me who is it that you know is going to tell them that they've got a construction defect. There are many people that are involved in that type of investigation, potentially, and there are several steps that we would actually recommend even before you get to that point, Jane, to determine whether an association has a construction defect or alternatively to maximize the safety and well being of the building. So I'm going to take a short step back and say, we have three recommendations for associations on what they should do to investigate their buildings and maximize the safety of their building. The first is we recommend that association performs required maintenance, and this sounds simple, it doesn't sound too complicated, but it actually can get quite complicated and I'll talk about that in a second. Second, we recommend that association perform a reserve study as required by Hawaii law. We had an episode a few weeks ago about reserve studies, and they are valuable tools, and they are valuable because they help an association understand some building components, but our third recommendation addresses the building components that typically may not be addressed or caught in a reserve study. And that is, we recommend that association perform a forensic investigation. And this forensic investigation. Yeah, this gets to the question you were asking about the team. A forensic investigation is where a team typically of either a forensic architect, a forensic engineer, like you mentioned, Jane, or a contractor, or some combination of those three. Open up areas of the building in order to investigate building components and areas that are hidden from normal view. So a reserve study in our experience in Hawaii is where it and a reserve study specialist, who they do great work and we have a lot of respect for them. A reserve study specialist investigates the useful life for the remaining years that building component items have before they need to be replaced, and it may comment on current construction defects that an inspector can see. Most of these reserve studies in our experience are based on visual inspections of the building, but there are many areas of the building, like behind exterior walls are within exterior walls, structural conditions within balconies structural steel and concrete lanais that are not visible they're covered up. So you, there is a potential area of exposure for associations that do not know the status of those hidden components. A forensic investigation uncovers the current condition of hidden components, which allows an association to appropriately budget for those repairs. So that an association one understands the safety or safety risks to its buildings but then also sufficiently funds them to recover or to repair those risks. And you know for this forensic audit. I mean, investigation. How much does something like that cost and how long does it take. Well, I am not a forensic. I don't work for a forensic company in terms of like a forensic architect firm, each firm probably has its own. It has its own fee structures, but I will say that the cost of a forensic investigation can be significant. They can also be reasonable so a forensic investigation, in our opinion, doesn't necessarily mean a minimum amount of money that doesn't necessarily necessarily require a minimum amount of money that an association must spend in order to do this investigation. Forensic consulting companies and experts and engineers and architects, they may have flexible fee structures where they can, they can adjust their scope based on an association's financial capability to spend. Like I said, there are law firms out there who, if they for qualifying buildings, particularly buildings under 10 years, and birding a while is one of these types of law firms will offer a complimentary preliminary investigation program, where someone like our birding a while and the law firm that we partner with routinely in Hawaii McKee and Sheldon mailing, we work with friend a forensic architect to do a visual inspection of the building identify areas that may require destructive investigation where building layers are peeled back and then present the information to a board to make a decision on how the board would like to proceed. And what do you charge what do you what do what your firm charge for this service for doing this for a condominium. So for a preliminary forensic investigation, our firm and we offer a complimentary service here. It is a program where we work with experts or we work with experts to do. As I mentioned a visual and visual inspection followed by some type of presentation. However, that on its own it is not going to be a full investigation where many building layers are opened up oftentimes we don't open up building layers. It is enough to at least give the board information on how it can move forward, and these experts that we work with are are very experienced in this line of work. There are experts who focus primarily on designing construction and then there are also experts who have practices where they peel back building layers for these forensic investigations. Experts are are very experienced and what that means is they're able to identify things with their just by looking at them visually. When many homeowners wouldn't be able to and there have been many cases where we're the lawyers who I work with we're walking aside and we see things that look like just mere dots or you know mere marks. And our experts are able to say well you see that mark right there that to me based on how this building appears to be constructed, constructed can be an area where water is getting into the building or so there is a lot that an expert can see in a visual inspection forensic expert can see in a visual inspection that an association member might not see. I mean, when should an association take advantage of this service. I mean, do you should they wait until year 10. Our recommendation is no. And we recommend that association start, you know, take advantage of this type of service which you know complimentary means it's free. So, take advantage of that type of service early in its life cycle. Because if you find something wrong, and you have to do further investigation, you don't want to run up against that 10 year deadline, or the six year or the two year deadline. Right yeah and, and what we find in our cases Jane is that many times homeowners are the first line of defense typically if an association doesn't perform a forensic investigation. What they rely on our homeowners who experienced leaks into their windows, for example, who contact either the association's manager or the board and say we have leaks at this window. Could you please help us since this appears to be a common area item. If, if an association has several of those types of messages from owners. That association subsequently enters into either mediation with a developer through or some other type of alternative dispute resolution or a lawsuit. A developer will point to those communications and say, Association, you discovered this issue, many years ago, and therefore you blew the two year or the sixth year, even if the lawsuit or the investigation was was done before the 10 year had run. So, there is risk, if you allow these types of communications to come in and you don't investigate that. Can I ask you something in Hawaii with the construction defect cases. Now it's required. I mean the people who have been in condos for a long long time they knew that back in the back in the day. The construction defect cases would involve a whole bunch of attorneys and a whole bunch of insurance companies. I mean, it was just, it was just very expensive and time consuming. And so the construction industry went to the legislature and now there's a requirement that you have to mediate do mediation before you can file a lawsuit on a construction defect. Right. So how does that play into your 10 day 10 year deadline. So let's say you find a claim, and you contact the developer and say hey, we're starting this claim, and they say okay but you got to take us to mediation first. So let's say you go into mediation, that's going to take what maybe six, you know, six, seven months, right to prepare for go through the mediation and complete it.  Yes, long story short, yes. And if this were in California. California has a process where you submit a notice to builder what what California California law calls it where you communicate to the builder based on statute, certain violations of building standards. And at that point, the statute of repose and the statute of limitations are called paused. So that stops the clock, but we don't have that type of statute in Hawaii right. That's correct. Yes, here in Hawaii. If you file a note or send a notice of claim to a builder, which is what the statute requires that does not stop the statute of repose or the statute of limitations what stops those is filing a lawsuit. Now, Hawaii law on this issue, it's called the contractor repair act. It does allow for parties to engage in mediation as you mentioned, as you mentioned, but it is, it requires it actually, but it does allow a party or like an association for example, to file a lawsuit. Without it, they would look, they would burn through the statute of limitations or repose. So, although the statute doesn't have isn't as plaintiff friendly or association friendly as the one in California in terms of notice filing the notice with the or sending a notice to a builder. It does allow you if, if you are going to run out of time and if the mediation what does look like it's going to blow through the two year the six year or even a 10 year to file a lawsuit before that those time limits have run up. Well, you know, in Hawaii, what there's, you know, some typical construction deep what are some noteworthy construction defect specific to Hawaii that people should want to maybe look out for. Hawaii is a marine environment and water is the bane of associations existence when it comes to construction defects so water intrusion into all areas of the building from roofs to siding to windows to foundations to concrete to slabs to exterior walls water intrusion is particularly bad and here in Hawaii, it's the marine environment has a very salty air. So things corrode faster waters bad because it causes metals to corrode. It causes wood to get some bacteria, which turns into dry rot, and both of those metal and wood which are typically used as structural members can become compromised by water intrusion. Now what we're seeing lately, Jane, are some pretty unique construction defects that that you know it's just it's just how the construction defect field develops in Hawaii. Around 10 years ago, roughly, there were these structural anchors that hold down a building to the ground or to foundation, and they were called anchor straps. That was a what was happening where these anchor straps were corroding in the Hawaii environment, you, you possibly to the salty air, salty soils, or and the humid air. And so you would have homes that were supposed to be tied down or anchored down with steel that no longer are so the common description that you hear or analogy that you hear is like in the Wizard of Oz where the home blows away. But this, the structural foundation would not be as secure as it as designed. So that was a, a development in the industry, roughly 10 years ago, when what we're seeing now are different construction defects. One of them, another structural one is we are finding that windows at associations are supposed to be designed to withstand minimum loads from wind. If it blows on the windows it could create if it blows past windows, it can create almost suction forces out of the building. So engineers typically design these windows to withstand those types of forces, especially here in Hawaii where you have hurricanes and tropical hurricanes. So what we're finding is that's that some of these windows are installed and are put in, and they don't meet those structural minimums, which creates a risk of a window failure in the event of a hurricane or tropical storm. So that's a unique one. Another construction defect that is unique here to Hawaii deals with a building component called a part of an exterior finished system. There's a product out there called a direct applied exterior finished system. It's typical to Hawaii. It's basically like stucco. If you think of stucco buildings. So we found in our experts have indicated to us that several of our case in several of our cases, the deep system is installed incorrectly for various reasons. There are many components with system. It's very easy to install them incorrectly actually that the layer on the exterior wall is only an eighth of an inch thick so you can run into issues if the system isn't installed correctly. And what we're also finding is that replacement contact contractors major building contractors in in Hawaii are not willing to warrant deeps replacement system so warrants were a deep product that is installed that they install in place of a defectively installed product. And they're also not seeing letters from these manufacturers, certifying or warranting these products we've seen letters that warrants the, or excuse me that warrant the system. We've seen letters that warrant the product, but not the systems themselves. So, because this product is installed and these systems are installed regularly through throughout Hawaii that is a unique construction defects or construction issue. Yeah, but the messages to the associations who are listening now is, you know, even for brand new buildings, you can't sit around and just wait for for something to happen you have to be proactive and start investigating especially since you've got these deadlines, and you have to be contractor to walk away, and not have, you know, not having to, to fix whatever construction defect, they have caused, but you know, we run out of time and you know we, I have more questions I never even got to. When you come back and and and and be a guest on another show because you know we still have more questions to ask. And you know this is a very, very interesting and important area, especially after what happened in Florida. I think everybody's really really concerned about what steps they can take to make sure that their building is safe. You know, even the ones that are newly built and the ones that have been around for a while. So thank you very much for being with us today, Kyle, and for your for the listeners. Please join us next week for another show and we're going to be talking about resources. And, and, and my guest next week is going to be from murmur Moelie Lee resident managers association. So please join us next week for another episode of condo insider Mahalo and Aloha. Thank you.


ymaybeus museum holds a three permanent exhibitions and the bunker which you can answer from the museum and I was created for one of the other exhibitions called West Coast Stories and I'm going to tell a little bit more about our thoughts and ideas planning the exhibition West Coast Stories tells 20 000 years of local history from the eye chase until the modern time Ion trafodd byddaeth, bodai'r rhiffwyr a'r ddweud y gallu'r bobl yn ystod yn ddigonno. Mae'n amguedd y ddweud o bobl o fe fortress, digon, o bobl yma. A rydych chi i'w willo a ddechrau'r seaeau a'r ddweud gwyfnodol. Mae'r ddweud o'r storiad ymlaen i'r llansgadell yn y ddweud. Mae ymlaen i'r ddweud, a mae'r ddweud yn y ddweud yn y ddweud. The purpose of this exhibition was to make people go there and when they went out from the exhibition they would go there and see the stories and the exhibition will make the link between the local landscape and the stories they have heard. So they can be inspired to explore the area in more depth. Prior to both planning the museum and work and exhibitions we worked with user experience design. We wanted to give people the best experience and therefore we looked at usability, accessibility and how to make the visitors enjoy themselves. We also investigated in different target groups and used them to define the story perspective, the design, the choice of stories and also the choice of learning styles for the exhibitions. We made service of both existing visitors and non-visitors on the site and we used them to define different target groups in the three long term exhibitions and this was quite important work for us. They were very different visitor groups but they were all on vacation and they were having a social experience and hard earned days with their families. By reaching out to these different groups of people and bring their experiences and ideas into the planning we tried to make the ecological and historical stories and objects more easily accessible to people who seldom visit museums. So the target group in this specific exhibition was people who not normally visit museums and that was of course very ambitious. It was mainly families with younger kids that normally would go to adventure parks like Legoland which is an hour drive away. It's not a public that looks for traditional objects and text based exhibitions so how could we challenge that? One of the things that we were very much inspired by was Alex Birch who is now at the National History Museum in London who has introduced this term, we are not visitors and that became our mantra. We as professionals we often assume that visitors have the same understanding as we have. We also assume that what is iconic to us is also iconic to the visitor and we assume that they read all the text and that they stay in the exhibition for a very long time. But when you ask them and when you walk around the museum looking normally it's not the case. Mainly they want a good experience. We also looked at different learning styles and looked at George Heinz's learning styles and for this exhibition we focused mainly on the discovery way of learning where you learn as you explore. Together with the designers we made a bible for our bible and in this bible we wrote 15 commandments to keep us all in the same direction. One of the commandments is this, we don't show objects just to show objects but we show objects to sell stones. So the question was how do we transform the material culture into something that people can write to and find interesting? How can we make them feel that they are part of the story? How can we make it important to them? How do we get people and in this case tourists to choose local history and other things such as amusement parks and etc. Without making it too artificial and too shallow? Well this target group is used to explore and to keep them interested. You need to capture their imagination. So we try to make an adventurous exhibition where the visitor can explore and dive into many of the most dramatic or surprising stories from the Danes West Coast. I'm just going to show you a plan of the exhibition. In the middle is an old life boat that you can sit in. Around that the designers made up the sandu landscape. 20,000 years of history is a long time span. People not normally visiting museums are not capable of learning all about it in just one museum visit. So we chose 14 of the most exciting stories which were hidden in this sandu landscape. Which gives a visitor a possibility to explore and see the stories themselves. The stories are presented chronological so you can walk through it from the start to the end. But you can also just keep what you want and each story is ended in itself. So you can choose. Each story has its own retreat or window which tells the story in many different ways. We have mechanical installations with animations and also the material culture. The objects are shown in different ways and sometimes even in the installation itself. It's the object that makes the stories authentic. We imagine before actually that we started to design the exhibition that this exhibition would have the least number of objects. But as it turned out it turned out to be almost the opposite. Stuffed with real stuff people actually enjoyed this room. And it appeals to the non-experienced museum visitors. Not because of the objects themselves but because of the good stories. The animations and the mechanical installations that brings life into this place. And I'm just going to show you a small glimpse of it. This story is about Vikings in the area and it's a very specific location where they produced a lot of textiles. Probably mainly for safe production. Between the real objects are linked to the story by animation. Also we don't have any text. People listen to the story by holding the audio guide to this little brick at the bottom. For all the objects we have a small text, a small sea text that tells facts about the objects. So if you want to know more about the different objects you can read the small text. To give an overview of all these stories and of the landscape itself in the area we made a small table with an animation, a map table we call it. Where you can see the development of the landscape and culture in the area. And quite early in the process we decided to deselect touch screens and instead use productions to give room for a more social experience. The digital technology is never up front but it's used to support the storytelling. And actually we have no cue in front of all these touch screens. And this gives us possibilities to give the audience an almost real experience. They can take a journey in this rescue boat that is in the middle. And each half hour the room get done and change into a 4D video map show. And here you submerge into the best studies history. With mammoths, with highways, sandstorms and vikings. And the objects that tell us, the archaeologists and creators the stories, they're used in a movie. And visitors actually discover the idea of letting the objects play a role in this grand story. And I'm just going to show you a small time lap of this film. Yes. And you might think this is overkill but this is actually one of the things that visitors are most excited about. In both this exhibition and the whole museum. Because it captures their imagination, it touches their feelings, their emotions. And I think that is quite important when we have to reach out to people. So far we had 380,000 people visiting this museum since it opened in July last year. Which is much more than we had hoped for. And many of them are actually visiting again. Because they haven't heard all the stories. In the museum we have 4 hours. We can walk around and listen for more than 4 hours to stories. And also it's something people really can relate. They listen to more that nobody would read. So we have learned a lot from this process. And I think the most important thing is to remember who are the visitors. Thank you.


Thank you God for this day. Thank you that brother Allen can be with us here and share something that's been on his heart for many many years Pray you'll give him the grace the strength May our hearts be open as we receive and listen in Jesus name Yesterday on our way here from New York. We stopped at a rest stop and a lady asked my wife. Are you a sister? so My wife clarified for her will ask her what what what do you mean and Anyway, this lady told a very interesting story that she had been inactive as growing up as Protestant and was looking for something to reactivate her faith something warmer and she said Lord I'm going to look I need a sign just don't let it be Jehovah's Witness Mormons or Catholic and And so for three days in a row she saw a certain cross she decided to go there and ended up in a Catholic Church It's very interesting story, but it just reminded me there are people who are looking people who are searching and God wants lost people to be found now as you drive about our country here The US one of things I like to do as I go through towns is to see what kinds of churches are there and So typically you'll see around the Plaza there You'll see a Methodist Church or Presbyterian Church a Catholic Church and you'll soon see Baptist churches and It's interesting in this country the average attendance in a church is 85 if you would look in a town Find the number of churches Multiply it by 85 and compare it with the town population You'd get a sense for how many of the people in that area are actually in church Now it's about six years ago in traveling for six days through Quebec. I Saw about five churches. That's it We went to one of them on a Sunday morning a little Baptist Church in Quebec City. It is absolutely astounding what is happening in our country and in Canada This morning what I would like us to do is to think first about the need for planting churches in North America and beyond Secondly, what are some reasons good solid reasons for planting churches? And then finally what are some of the mindsets that either hinder or encourage church planting to happen? First the need for planting churches in North America and as you may be aware as you Read or listen or watch news the moral crisis in America in North America is just absolutely phenomenal Just within a five short years or ten short years It's just astounding it leaves you breath Breathless and you wonder what's the next new frontier that's going to be broken morally in this country? It just keeps coming at us like you you can't imagine Think as well with us of the theological crisis in North America where you actually have so-called ministers usually of mainline churches Who will say that they don't believe in God or that it's even necessary to believe that Jesus Actually rose from the dead. There's a lady pastor in a uniting church in in Canada in Toronto who publicly said I think what the resurrection is all about is not so much whether Jesus actually physically rose from the dead but it's about being good people and loving and caring and helping each other and When she made that announcement that she was actually an atheist two-thirds of her church hundred fifty people got up and walked out All of them should have If she wasn't going to walk out they should have but that's just an illustration of the theological crisis in North America several years ago on a talk show There was a rabbi a priest and a high-profile television preacher evangelical of some sort and When they asked the question do you think that people need to that people who are not Saved or born again Will go to heaven if they haven't heard of Jesus will they go to heaven or will they go to hell? The rabbi and the priest both said they didn't think they would go to hell The pastor said well for me I Believe that you need to believe in Jesus to go to heaven. What's this about for me? He was squirming he was squirming there you think of the lifestyle crisis in North America This comes out of the moral and theological crisis Think of the church attendance crisis in North America For one one thing that I've observed in the last 10 or 15 years is the growing Reluctance of people to commit to being a member in a local church Even in our own churches we have people attending who do not want to become members of a local church The whole concept even of having a church membership is in question So there's a negative view of church and of church membership in This book the American church in crisis by David Olson a study was done of Hundreds and hundreds of churches across this country from the year 2000 to the year 2005 Here's what he discovered on a given weekend This is in the United States 88 out of a hundred people will not be in any church 77% of the people in America have no life-giving connect into a local church 77% on any given weekend 91% of Americans will not go to an evangelical church 91 that's nine out of ten people if you take the un-churched in North America and I'm assuming that this is referring specifically to the United States In this country there are a hundred and ninety million people who are un-churched If you would take all of those people and put them in a country by themselves It would be the fifth most populous country in the world 190 million un-churched people all around us The fastest growing religious block in America is not Islam It's the nuns. No, that's not Catholic ladies It's the NONES those who self-identify as having no religious affiliation Pew research said that in five years The nuns in the US grew from 15 percent to 20 percent while 10% of those who are 65 or older would identify as nuns Those who are under 30 33% in This country will say they have no religious affiliation Let's just for example, I'm assuming some of the states that you're from Would be like Pennsylvania, Indiana, Ohio New York and so on In this book, he has maps that show what has happened either in the increase or decrease in church membership This map is Protestant mainline churches There is not even one single state that registered an increase in church attendance from the year 2000 to 2005 Not even one. In fact, some of them registered as high as 19% decrease in a five-year period. That's Wyoming New Mexico's 17% decrease New York my state 10% decrease just in five years from Protestants It's slightly better when you look at the map for evangelical churches Those that are gray had a decrease those that were white had a slight increase like 1% Pennsylvania actually had a 3% increase sounds a little more positive All across this country people are leaving the churches What is going on? How can we turn that around now? There are several Canadians here I know and for your benefit in 1950 Protestants and Anglicans were 45% of the Canadian population now. They only represent 11% in 1900 the born-against the evangelicals were 25% of Canadian population now they are less than 8% in Canada the fastest growing religions Muslim at nearly 5% per year Buddhists 4% per year The nuns in Canada are now 24% of the Canadian population, but in British Columbia 40% of British Columbia identifies as none But now if you think that's bad Think about Quebec seven to eight million. We're only one out of 200 is born-again There is not a single country in the Western Hemisphere that is so low Not Haiti not Mexico not even Uruguay at 3% with a large percent being atheists in fact if Quebec were to be on par with the rest of the percentage of Evangelical churches in Canada they would need 3000 churches to be planted today Brothers and sisters in North America. We are living in a mission field all around us The need for planting churches is amazing. It's Overwhelming, but why should we plant churches earnest mention that there's no command in the New Testament go ye therefore and plant churches So how in the world do we come up with this? first in Church planting we cooperate with Jesus as he fulfills his promise in Matthew 16. I Will blank my church. What is it? I will build my church He promised to build his church How will he fulfill that promise where there are no churches or where the numbers of churches are in serious decline? He does not do it all by himself Just like in many other aspects of life In him all things consist by him all things grow But farmers still do go out and plant corn and beans and other things He doesn't do it by himself William Kerry a Baptist minister in 1792 or 91 Proposed the idea radical at the time that if businesses like the British East India Company would go out would form Corporations and go out and start businesses in different parts of the world Why wouldn't we use he called it means or methods for reaching the heathen for Christ as well? Why wouldn't we organize societies? Rather than just waiting for God to reach them. He was told young man sit down If God went wants to reach the heathen he can do it and he can do it without you I'm sure he sat down, but after the meeting was over. He got up. He went out He organized the first Protestant mission agency and then offered himself to be sent He's called the father of modern-day Protestant missions God does not do it all by himself Thus mission boards came into existence. Why wouldn't we organize to do the same for church planting in North America and beyond? To the unchurched in our counties in our states in our countries and in our neighboring countries Second the way the early church Applied the Great Commission was by starting new churches earnest referred to this. Jesus said go and make disciples You watch them when they went out and what did they do they announced the gospel? They chattered the gospel Those who believe they gather them together They were called Iglesias Churches sorry Iglesias got my Spanish mixed in there or called out ones It was an assembly of people that were coming together You see that all through the book of Acts in first Corinthians 3 Paul says one plants another waters God gives the increase he talks about the ministry of planting and it's in the context of churches That's the second reason for planting churches third The third one is that new and small churches Grow and assimilate new people more easily than older established churches For example, if you have a little church of 20 people Do you think a church can be a church if it only has 20 people? I think so and let's suppose you would hear from the Lord and you would fast and pray and witness and you say This year we purpose with God's help to add to grow by 25% Let's get five more people would that sound doable? It does but let's suppose you have a church of 300 To grow by 25% in one year it would require how many people? Well 10% would be 30 right? 30 60 you'd have to add 75 people in one year Would you even be able to get 75 people into the building? and So just to illustrate new and small churches grow and assimilate new people more easily It's in new churches. Everybody is needed. We know why we're there. We know what our purpose is We want to win more people fourth Studies have shown that church planting is necessary for denominations to survive When you hear of denominations working at merging together typically It's a sign of denominations that are dying Denominations that are growing are not talking about Finding the lowest common denominator in order to unite with everybody else They're busy growing But those churches that are waning and their members are aging You know there are churches in this country. They don't even have children They don't hear the voice of any children disturbing the worship service on Sunday They haven't had them for years So if we want our movements to grow we must be serious about church planting one study says thus Every denomination reporting an increase in membership reported an increase in the number of congregations conversely Every denomination reporting an increase in the total number of congregations also recorded an increase in members Now the opposite is also true Every denomination reporting a decrease in membership reported a decrease in congregations So I'm here to ask you this morning Do we really want This movement the Anabaptist movement and the the virtue is not in the name Anabaptist But in being a back to the Bible Christ focused Bible honoring and obeying movement. Do we really want it to survive? How much do we want it to survive? What price are we willing to pay for it to survive? If so, then we must be serious about planting new churches In the fifth place we plant new churches because in doing so More people can participate More gifts can be discovered More workers can be developed As churches get larger and I'm not against large churches I can't be because the first one in the New Testament grew to be very large Jerusalem, right? so that's also a New Testament church as well and The Lord did scatter them through persecution at some point, but as churches get larger Then you tend to specialize more you're going to pick the one who can lead the singing the best you're going to pick the ones who can teach the best and So on and on it goes in small churches, and I'm not arguing for doing things sloppily Carelessly, but in small churches. It's all hands on deck Everybody has to work Everybody has to help and in doing that you discover gifts Because Christ is in the business of giving gifts to people Sometimes he gives gifts just for a short period of time sometimes for a lifetime But he loves to give gifts to people and we discover them in church planting situations because everybody is needed That was number five number six It is good to plant churches because church planting is an excellent way to reach ethnic minorities to reach ethnic minorities There are approximately a hundred and sixty distinct languages living languages being spoken in the US Actually, there are more languages than that Did you know that in our country? 13% of the homes do not speak English It might be Pennsylvania Dutch. It might be French. It might be something else They prefer something out of other than English. How are we going to reach those people? So are we going to make sure that they all learn to speak English first before they can go to church? No, we need to find ways to reach the ethnic minorities By church planting there are some in every ethnic group that love cultural mixes They love to go in an ethnically Multicultural congregation, but they're in the minority most birds of a feather like to worship together Now people of different ethnic backgrounds will agree to work At the workplace together they have to to survive But when it comes to worship we prefer to worship in our heart language Church planting is a great way to reach the ethnic minorities in this country There are so many immigrants coming to our countries both to Canada and to the US For us as Christians instead of being afraid of that we should see that as a goldmine of opportunity For reaching people from parts of the world where if you would openly share the gospel You might be at best put in jail or at worst put in the graveyard Here we can freely reach them We can share the gospel with them We can share a Bible with them Church planting is a good way to reach ethnic minorities Next it is a field of ministry with few competitors. There'll always be plenty to do You don't have to worry about somebody taking your job Let them take it and you go off and you start another church There is so much to be done and in the process you will grow exceedingly Next church life becomes very interesting when you have growth goals and new people coming into church It's like welcoming a new baby into the family for the first months. It turns everything upside down And then you find your new normal again But these babies are so precious and so wonderful and that's the way it is when new people come into our churches And they see things in the Bible that we didn't see and they ask questions We never thought of and they have suggestions that we just it just never occurred to us and It makes church life so much more interesting To be able to come to church and see your neighbor there. He said oh, I've prayed for an I'm my neighbor And he showed up today. Isn't that wonderful and you all rejoice together 9th church planting is an effective strategy for social local and national renewal Now we may choose to curse the growing darkness in our countries as we see it moral and theological darkness But someone says instead of cursing the darkness light a candle now Both france and britain according to historians were ripe for violent revolutions And france had one a godless and bloody revolution Religiously france has still not over recovered from that Over 80 percent of french people have never Had a bible or read from a bible Now britain historians say was equally ripe for revolution But what did britain have that france did not have? britain had george whitfield and john and charles westley Now whitfield preached to large crowds of thousands without microphone And one many to christ, but what did john westley do he preached to thousands also in the open air But he gathered them in groups, which he called classes And then those began to develop and eventually became churches and the churches eventually became the methodist the nomination movement And so historians say if britain would not have had the westley's It would have had a revolution like france Church planting is an effective strategy for the renewal of our nations As we gather disciples together And care for our communities 10th church planting is a vision big enough and challenging enough for our young people And our young families Everybody needs a cause bigger than themselves for which to live You see people rallying around all kinds of causes like let's ban plastic straws And so on but what about a cause that goes beyond this life? A cause that's connected to the word of god and to the people of god the church This is big enough To make many Sacrifices to move our bodies around to change our occupations as the bible says without a vision the people Parish another word that could be used. There's the people scatter I'd like to give one more yet though reason for church planting That is church planting is a way to conserve our people as they move about For health employment education, thank you and weather and so on Our people are constantly on the move. They will always be on the move looking for work Going for study and so on Where are they going to go to church? Why not be consciously at work to follow them? To equip them before they go to support them as they do Why not train our people this way? If you are going to move find a faithful church or start one Find a faithful church or start one Now when you drive through our cities In america, and i'm not so well acquainted with canada, so i'll speak for america. You'll see Baptist churches. You'll see Methodist churches You'll see some Presbyterians Congregational Episcopalian churches, but the ones you'll see the most are Baptist and Methodist Why? There was a reason for it as the frontier began moving west The Congregational churches the Presbyterians and the Episcopalians say Only those who have a seminary degree May be duly authorized and ordained to be pastors and priests But what did baptist and Methodist do? They had their circuit riding preachers And they would go out and organize the frontiersmen and they would choose somebody to be a lay preacher And then the the circuit rider would come around again and see how it was going and encourage them and eventually the lay preachers became ordained preachers Well, why do we not see as many Mennonite churches as we drive across the country? Oh our roots went deep into that good soil And the frontier got away from us. It's taking a while for us to catch up Now we are moving we are scattering the salts being spread around It's just that it takes us a while longer to get there But we could be more creative. We could be more proactive We could be more flexible. We could be more willing to take risks and we could see Our churches being spread around the countries As the baptist and Methodist did Now in the third place, I'd like to talk about a few mindsets that either hinder or encourage church planting In north america and beyond first the mindsets that hinder Here are some of them Well, the way we've always done it or well, we've never done it that way before Well, the apostles could have said that too in the book of acts. We've never done it that way before But no, they had the Holy Spirit who who pushed them and they had persecution to help them go We could say well, no one will accept our beliefs Well, not everybody will Jesus already said that but some will You know, there are people that believe some really crazy stuff Like wearing holy underwear Or like if your marriage is going to last in eternity, you have to get married in a certain temple Or I'm speaking about the Mormons now, you know people will actually believe that People believe strange things When the people who tell them those strange things really believe them So why wouldn't some people believe what we see in the bible when we show it to them? Of course, they will some will some will say well It's too far away For example, one group In alaska was asking for help and they were told well, you're too far away Well, now we have the internet we have Economic plane travel. We have so many opera options that did not have in the past. Don't say it's too far away Don't say that some say well, there are too many churches already. We've already looked at that Some would say well, we need to have a solid substantial sized group before we can start a church like maybe 50 or 75 or 100 You look in the new testament when apostle paul traveled about he started from scratch Couldn't we still do that today has the holy spirit stopped doing that Others say well, we might make some mistakes and fail That's true But you'll fail forward you will have learned and for sure if you do nothing you will have failed as well What will we say in the judgment day to christ? No, I didn't try because I was afraid I would make a mistake and fail Of course we'll make mistakes, but we'll learn from them Someone would say well, we don't need to say words. We just let people see our lives and then they'll get it And sometimes I even see quotes approving quotes of francis of assisi Who says do all you can to preach the gospel and if necessary use words? Well, where did that come from? We have to say like this do all you can to preach the gospel and whenever possible use words Because when the lost people look at good people, they don't think the gospel they just think I could never be like that That must be their culture. That's the way they were born and bred I have a an Algerian friend who came to christ And when he went back to visit his people in Algeria, they were looking at a movie of the nickel mine shooting And the amish were forgiving the shooter And he heard his uncles say How how did they do that that they just must be born and bred that way. That's their culture They weren't getting it And so sinners don't get it dead people don't get it So we need to use words to explain the gospel someone say well, we don't have enough ordained leadership Well, send out commissioned people send out lay people and later on you can ordain and walk alongside them and encourage them Say well, we don't have enough money We need to have a church building first Well, I don't like to tell you this but there are a lot of cheap church buildings across the us and canada But don't think there first use your living room You can get a lot of people in there Especially in the living rooms of many houses in north america And once you got that full then the locals who are joining you will help you get a building I heard one pastor say well This team that's going to go to a certain place. Do they have a five-year plan? A five-year plan. How do you do that in church planning? You might have been able to do it in your successful large business But I don't know how that works Imagine telling paul paul don't you go unless you first write out your five-year plan All right. What are some mindsets that encourage church planting first? Jesus will always be relevant And he will always be at work drawing people to himself. He said so If we point people to him He will attract people to himself He is building and he will build his church and it didn't stop A hundred years ago. He is still doing so. He already said The gates of hell of death shall not withstand the forward march of my church It can't resist the ongoing movement of the church of jesus christ Here's another mindset god wants lost people to be found and he wants to use us to find them He wants them to be found more than we want to be used to find them He really wants to find lost people You can use this mindset jesus commands us to make disciples his commands are also promises If he commanded it, he will also empower us to do so Here's another one. God's will is god's bill When you think about a church building just use that one. God's will is god's bill He'll provide for you. He'll provide for you to get there. He'll provide for you while you are there William carrey said in 1792 expect great things from god attempt great things for god Bill bright as he started the campus crusade for christ said success in witnessing is taking the initiative To share the gospel In the power of the spirit and then you leave you trust the results with him Leave it with him Someone else said and i don't know who said it the potential of any movement to grow is in direct Proportion to its ability to mobilize its members to share its message Whether it's jihoba's witnesses, whether it's mormons, whether it's amway whether it's communist whether it's plexus you name it They grow because they mold mobilize their people We can mobilize our people to share the gospel Here is what a missionary in kairou egypt said and when i read this it convicted me he said I assume every muslim i meet Is open until he proves himself otherwise I thought oh lord have mercy on me. I assume people are closed until they prove themselves otherwise And i would like us this morning to embrace this lord helped me to assume that every person i meet Is open until he or she Proves himself otherwise Jesus said to his disciples who had gone to get lunch for him Lift up your eyes and look on the fields for they are what? White unto harvest and so when the disciples would have looked up What would they have seen they would have seen the samaritans coming out of the town At the invitation of that lady come and see a man who told me everything i ever did might he be the christ And jesus talked to them and they said We believe that you are the savior of the world come and stay with us And he stayed with them for a couple days more the disciples looked at the samaritan said half breeds hard rebels heretics jesus said look A harvest that is white White how do we see people how do we look at communities Do we see them as hard or do we look at them as being ripe or potentially ripe? I'd like to conclude With this quote from gray livingston Who it was the founder of the frontiers mission movement focusing specifically on muslims. Here's his quote The history of missions is all about weak Barely competent people Who believe the one who sent them Could accomplish his purposes even through the likes of them There are only two kinds of people in the world The weak ones who make themselves available to god And the weak ones who don't Are you making yourself available to him? Let us pray That all across our churches in the us in canada and down into mexico and beyond God will pour out again a mighty spirit of personal witnessing Faithful disciple making Courageous and creative church planting He's done it before He can do it again Let us bow our heads to pray Father in heaven, we lift up to you our great countries that are becoming increasingly spiritually and morally needy all around us But father you have people that you are calling to yourself And you have churches that you in mind that you want to be planted here. We are this morning Weak people but we are willing We are available However you want to use this Do it for the your own pleasure For the glory of your name For the fulfillment of your promises and for our own involvement and fulfillment And joy and fruit. We pray in jesus name. Amen
