This Sunday, we begin a new journey through the book of 1 Peter, a letter written to people feeling scattered, pressured, and out of place. Maybe that resonates with you too. In this first message, we'll slow down and let Peter remind us of something easy to forget: who we are. Chosen. Set apart. Not home yet.Through this passage, we'll see that the gospel isn't just something we receive, it redefines us. And in a world that often feels like it's pushing against our faith, we'll be invited to anchor our lives in the living hope we have in Jesus Christ.Preacher: Dylan PatruicaPassage:1 Peter 1:1-12Support the show

This lecture provides a comprehensive overview of secured transactions under the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), particularly focusing on Article 9. It explain how a security interest in a debtor's personal property is created (attachment) and how a creditor protects that interest against the claims of others (perfection). Various methods of perfection, such as filing a financing statement or taking possession or control of the collateral, are discussed. The texts also address recent amendments to Article 9, specifically the 2022 UCC Amendments, which introduce rules for using digital assets as collateral and clarify the definition of money. Finally, the sources touch upon the secured party's rights and procedures upon the debtor's default, including repossession, disposition of collateral, and pursuing deficiency judgments.The primary purpose is to give the creditor a legal right to specific property (collateral) of the debtor, which they can pursue to satisfy the debt if the debtor defaults, providing a significant advantage over unsecured creditors.The three requirements for attachment are: the secured party must give value, the debtor must have rights in the collateral, and there must be a binding security agreement.Filing a financing statement serves as public notice to the world that the secured party has a security interest in the debtor's collateral, which is crucial for establishing priority over other potential creditors.The four main categories of goods under Article 9 are consumer goods, inventory, equipment, and farm products.A security interest in a gold necklace used as collateral for a loan could be perfected by the pawnbroker taking physical possession of the necklace, which serves as notice to others of their interest.The general rule for priority between competing perfected security interests in the same collateral is that the first party to either file a financing statement or perfect their interest has priority.Under the 2022 amendments, the definition of "money" is limited to government-backed currencies, meaning cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are not considered "money" under the UCC.A PMSI arises when a loan finances the purchase of specific goods used as collateral. It can have super priority over an earlier security interest if the secured party meets specific perfection requirements, such as timely filing (especially for non-inventory).A secured party undertaking self-help repossession must do so without breaching the peace, meaning they cannot use physical force, threats, or other actions likely to provoke a confrontation with the debtor.Disposing of collateral in a commercially reasonable manner means the secured party must conduct the sale or other disposition fairly, taking into account factors like the method, time, place, and terms of the sale to maximize the value recovered.

This lecture, the third in a series on Secured Transactions, focuses on the final stage of the process: default, remedies, and enforcement under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code (U.C.C.). It explains that while the U.C.C. allows parties to define default, common examples include failing to make payments or maintain collateral. Upon default, secured parties have several options, including repossession (often without judicial process if peaceable), selling the collateral in a commercially reasonable manner to potentially seek a deficiency judgment, or retaining it through strict foreclosure, though this is limited for consumer goods. The lecture emphasizes that secured parties must adhere to notice requirements and the debtor retains redemption rights until the collateral is disposed of, with courts playing a role in ensuring compliance and balancing creditor and debtor rights."Default" is largely defined by the security agreement between the parties, commonly including failure to make timely payments or breaches of covenants like maintaining collateral or unauthorized transfer.The most significant self-help remedy is repossession of the collateral without judicial process, provided it can be done without breaching the peace."Without breach of the peace" means repossession must not involve physical force, threats, breaking and entering, or actions likely to provoke violence.Replevin is a judicial process to recover collateral, used when self-help is too risky or likely to cause conflict, offering a court-backed recovery method.The two main options are selling or disposing of the collateral (public or private sale) or retaining it in full or partial satisfaction of the debt (strict foreclosure).The central requirement is conducting the sale or disposition in a commercially reasonable manner, considering factors like method, manner, time, place, and terms.Sale proceeds are applied to expenses, then the debt, then junior interests. Surplus goes to the debtor; deficiency allows a deficiency judgment.Strict foreclosure is retaining collateral for the debt. A key requirement is sending an authenticated proposal to the debtor and others for their potential objection.Strict foreclosure is prohibited in consumer-goods transactions if the debtor paid 60% or more of the cash price.The debtor (or secondary obligor) can redeem collateral by paying the full debt plus expenses before disposition or strict foreclosure is completed.

This lecture explores the critical phase of default, remedies, and enforcement in secure transactions under Article 9 of the UCC. It covers the definition of default, the rights of secured parties upon default, the process of repossession, and the importance of commercial reasonableness in the disposition of collateral. The lecture also discusses the procedural safeguards in place to protect debtor rights and the implications of noncompliance with UCC requirements.TakeawaysDefault is largely defined by the parties' agreement.Secured parties have powerful rights upon default.Repossession can occur without judicial process if done peacefully.Commercial reasonableness is crucial in the sale of collateral.Failure to provide notice can lead to loss of deficiency rights.Debtors have redemption rights before collateral is disposed of.Judicial remedies can be pursued when self-help is risky.Procedural safeguards ensure fairness in enforcement.Noncompliance with UCC can result in sanctions.Understanding these principles is vital for commercial law practice.secure transactions, default, remedies, UCC, collateral, enforcement, commercial law, debtor rights, repossession, judicial remedies

This lecture introduces key concepts in Secured Transactions under the Uniform Commercial Code, focusing on perfection and priority. It explains that perfection, achieved through methods like filing, possession, control, or automatic perfection, establishes a secured party's rights against third parties, while attachment merely validates the interest between the debtor and secured party. The lecture then discusses priority rules, primarily the first-to-file-or-perfect principle, and examines exceptions like purchase-money security interests and buyers in the ordinary course of business, emphasizing the importance of timely action for secured parties.To establish the secured party's rights against the claims of third parties.Filing a financing statement, possession of the collateral, control over the collateral, and automatic perfection.The first perfected secured party to either file a financing statement or otherwise perfect its security interest has priority.A PMSI is a security interest taken by the seller or lender to finance the purchase of specific collateral.

This lecture, the first in a series on secured transactions, focuses on the nature and creation of security interests under Article 9 of the U.C.C. It defines a secured transaction as a credit arrangement where a debtor grants a creditor an interest in personal property or fixtures as collateral to secure an obligation. The discussion outlines how Article 9 defines a security interest, identifies the parties involved, categorizes the types of property that can serve as collateral (including goods, intangibles and semi-intangibles), and explains the three essential elements for attachment (creation) of a security interest: value, debtor's rights in collateral, and a sufficient security agreement. Key concepts like after-acquired property, future advances, and proceeds are also examined, along with common issues in creating security interests and the policy goals of Article 9.A secured creditor has a property interest in specific collateral that they can proceed against to satisfy the obligation, giving them a significant advantage over unsecured creditors who only have a contractual claim.Article 9 governs security interests in personal property and fixtures.The four subdivisions of goods are Consumer goods, Inventory, Equipment, and Farm products.The three essential elements for attachment are: the secured party must give value, the debtor must have rights in the collateral (or the power to transfer rights), and there must be a security agreement that satisfies the statute of frauds (usually an authenticated record).The U.C.C. requires the collateral description to be reasonably identifiable.An after-acquired property clause allows a security interest to cover property acquired by the debtor after the security agreement is executed; it is especially common in inventory and accounts receivable financing.Future advances refer to securing future loans or advances under the same security agreement; U.C.C. Section 9-204 explicitly authorizes this arrangement.A secured party's interest generally continues in the proceeds when the collateral is sold or otherwise disposed of, as long as the proceeds are identifiable.For certain types of collateral like negotiable instruments, the secured party can perfect its interest simply by taking possession of the collateral (a pledge).One common pitfall is the improper description of collateral in the security agreement; the case of In re Bollinger Corporation was referenced as an illustration of an insufficiently specific description.

Lecture One focuses on the foundation of secured transactions under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code, exploring what a security interest is and how it is created. A secured transaction is a credit arrangement where the debtor provides collateral to secure repayment of a loan or performance of an obligation. The security interest gives the secured party an enforceable property right in the collateral, setting them apart from unsecured creditors.To create a valid and enforceable security interest, three essential elements must be met under U.C.C. Section one dash two zero one, b, thirty-five and Section nine dash two zero three. First, the secured party must give value, which can include loans, extensions of credit, or other forms of consideration. Second, the debtor must have rights in the collateral or the ability to transfer rights. Third, there must be a security agreement that meets the statute of frauds, which typically requires an authenticated record describing the collateral, or, alternatively, possession or control by the secured party.Collateral types are broadly categorized as goods (consumer goods, inventory, equipment, or farm products), instruments, accounts, chattel paper, deposit accounts, investment property, and general intangibles. The agreement may also cover after-acquired property and future advances, provided these are explicitly stated. Additionally, the security interest extends to identifiable proceeds from the collateral's sale or transfer.The lecture also emphasizes common pitfalls, such as vague collateral descriptions and unauthorized security grants, and reviews key cases like In re Bollinger Corp., which highlights the need for precision. Understanding these foundational concepts is essential for grasping later topics like perfection, priority, and enforcement.Key TakeawaysA security interest gives a creditor enforceable rights in collateral.Attachment requires value, debtor rights, and a valid security agreement.Collateral can include both tangible and intangible assets.After-acquired property and future advances can be secured if specified.Security interests extend to identifiable proceeds.Precision in describing collateral is critical.Article 9 focuses on personal property, not real estate.

Interview with Rana Vig, Director & CEO of Blue Lagoon ResourcesOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/blue-lagoon-resources-bllg-gold-producer-focused-on-being-explorer-1079Recording date: 5 May 2025Blue Lagoon Resources (CSE: BLLG, OTCQB: BLAGF) is set to commence gold production on July 9, 2025, marking the culmination of a five-year permitting process that CEO Rana Vig initially expected to take just 18 months. The company's high-grade British Columbia property near Smithers represents a significant milestone in today's challenging regulatory environment, where typical mining permits can extend to 20 years.The 22,000-hectare property contains 15 known high-grade veins averaging 9 grams per ton, with current measured and indicated resources of 218,000 ounces concentrated on a single vein. Management projects a clear path to over one million ounces based on extensive drilling programs totaling more than 50,000 meters. Recent drilling 150 meters below known resources has yielded intercepts exceeding 18 grams per ton across multiple hits, with increasing copper grades suggesting proximity to the mineralization source.Blue Lagoon's strategic approach emphasizes cash flow generation over traditional equity financing. "I could have raised more money for this company a couple of years ago, but everybody was depressed," Vig explained. "Why dilute at that level? I'd be at 700-800 million-900 million shares." Instead, management plans to use production cash flow as an "ATM" to fund exploration and expansion activities.The company has invested approximately $40 million in infrastructure and assembled an experienced operational team, including Cobra Mining contractors familiar with the historical Noranda operations at the same site. A validated toll processing partnership with Nicola Mining confirmed 90-95% recovery rates through previous test shipments.Cash flow generation is projected for fall 2025, with free cash flow expected by year-end. The timing coincides favorably with gold prices exceeding $3,300, well above the company's $2,600 base case assumptions. This positions Blue Lagoon uniquely among junior miners as it transitions from exploration to immediate revenue generation in a sector dominated by speculative plays.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/blue-lagoon-resourcesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
