Now, we can get started. Thank you all so much for your patience and for being here for this exciting opportunity to introduce a new development to you. My name is Gloria Said and I'm the Community Development Director for the City of Columbia. And we're excited that we get to kick off National Community Development Week here with you today with this Edistal Court ribbon cutting. So on behalf of the City of Columbia's Community Development Department, I would like to thank each of you for being here. And in regards to National Community Development Week, I would like to say that there are municipalities, counties and towns all across the nation that for one full week from April 11 through April 15th will highlight the many, many programs and projects funded with community development block grant known as CDBG and our home investment partnership dollars, which we refer to only as home, to highlight those projects that, you know, help to invest in communities and to revitalize communities. And so in short order, we do have a program for you today that will go as follows. We will start with the Honorable and Acting Esmeral Pro Tem today. Ed McDowell, he'll speak to us and then we'll hear from Will Brennan. Will Brennan is the Council District Representative for District 3 in the community where this beautiful project is located. We'll then hear from Don Oglesby. Don Oglesby is the CEO for Homes of Hope and he'll give you a lot of history and background on this particular project and, you know, the path that it took to get here. And then we'll hear from Ms. Betsy Watson. Ms. Betsy Watson is the Edistal Court neighborhood president. And without further ado, I'm going to go ahead and turn it over to our Mayor Pro Tem Ed McDowell. Gloria, thank you so very, very much. We hope everyone is, like we're doing, celebrating this week as we celebrate Community Developers Week. It's been great to be on this day, this sunny day, in the life of our city. Don, thank you again for being the, for lack of a better word, the visionary for this project. You've done us well. Our city, as we continue to move in the pathway of Community Development and Homes, it is, we thank you very, very much for what you've done. Isn't it beautiful? Isn't this beautiful? Come on now. Homes for Hope. And of course, if I were to reverse that, I would say thank God for Homes that gives hopeful attitudes and promise for this city of ours. Thank you for being here. Thank you for being a vital contributor of what we are trying to do here in the city of Columbia. Gloria, thank you for your leadership as we move forward, as we celebrate this week, Homes for Hope. Isn't that, doesn't that have a delightful sound to it? Homes for Hope. I think that could very well be a sermon for a preacher somewhere. What's that? I said, good thing you're retired. Yes, a good thing I am retired. I would use that very vehemently, and of course, while I've got such a good crowd out here today and since I am a retired preacher, Homes for Hope, let's take up an offering, amen. Thank you all for being here. Thank you. Good morning. How is everybody today? We're here to celebrate Community and what a wonderful, beautiful backdrop that Homes of Hope has created for us on this special week to celebrate Community. My name is Will Burnett. I'm the City Council District 3 representative, and let me be the first to welcome Homes for Hope and the new residents to the community. Not just District 3, but a very, very, very special community in the Attisto Court community. You're going to hear from Miss Bessie Watson, who loves this community more than anybody else, but hopefully the engaged residents of this wonderful development will come to love it as much as we do. So we're very thankful for that. Gloria and her team, thank you so much for all the hard work that you've put in to this. Don and your team out of Greenville and all over this wonderful state doing what you do for affordable housing initiatives. Also want to thank Fred Delk and his team at the Columbia Development Corporation for the long, long due diligence time they put in to making this happen. Fred, I think you told me 10 years. Hey, that goes to show we're committed, we're innovative, and we're determined here at the City of Columbia to create quality residential offerings in our districts and in our city. So again, thank you to everyone coming out here today. I feel like spring has officially sprung now. And in closing, a community is only as strong as its residents. And so I encourage the residents of Homes for Hope here in Columbia, South Carolina, get involved in your neighborhood association. Come to meetings with Miss Bessie and take pride in your parks. You've got five beautiful parks within a walking distance of here. It's a wonderful community and a wonderful city. Thank you so much. Thank you. Hello. So thank you all for being here. It's really a blessing, a blessing to see people that care about their community that are interested in what's going on. And I want you to know that we're thrilled to be here at Homes of Hope first development in Columbia, first of hopefully many. So thank you all for being here. And really, I want you to know how much this means to us. I would be remiss if I didn't give you a little bit of the Homes of Hope elevator commercial. So I'm going to do that. Since I have the podium, you can't make me stop anyway. So for those who don't know, we've been around for 24 years almost. We have built 675 homes across the state that are affordable for residents of South Carolina. And we're also very proud to have a workforce development program for men overcoming addiction in Greenville. Those two programs are dear to our hearts because they, I guess, invest opportunities for people to change their lives. Affordable housing to us is not the end of the story.  For us, it's the beginning of the story. We're very intentional about making sure we're there to offer relationships with the folks that live in our homes and try to connect them to resources for economic mobility. The end of the day, housing affordability should be a foundational place of stability but not the end goal. The end goal should be economic mobility so that you don't need affordable housing anymore one day so that we can help you become economically mobile and tear down some of the barriers that have held folks back from being economically mobile and successful financially. So this is a starting place for us and we're thrilled to see the houses behind us and we're very proud of what we've done so far but it's just the start, just the start. So there's some folks I want to thank and I have to write this down or I'll forget everybody. First of all, I appreciate that, you know, it was said that we had some vision here but quite frankly, we really didn't. We kind of joined a vision and I'll have to brag on Fred Delkin, Columbia Development Corporation. So 10 years, Fred and I have known each other for a long time. We both know that 10 years is really not that long in our work but it's still impressive that Fred had a vision for this place along with Bessie Watson. Both of them saw what could happen here and I remember when I first met Fred and he started telling me what he foresaw and what was here now didn't look like what he foresaw and now what you see here is really because of Fred and his initial vision. We wouldn't have even known about this without him and his vision and his perseverance and let me tell you, he did the hard work. The hardest work in a project like this is assembling the dirt, taking all the land and purchasing it and assembling it into one piece so that somebody like us can come in and people say nice things about us at a ribbon cutting. But Fred did the hard work and Fred, I want, here's your hand sir, I want everybody to recognize that man right there for what he's done and his board of directors was behind this the entire way. If there's anybody here from CDC Board, there you go, there's one. She's it. She's the most important person on the board. So really for them to help us not only assembling the land but also helping us in the financing of the project, which without which we could not have done the project at all. So thank you sir. Well deserved applause again for Fred please. So I want to thank Gloria and her team and she's got a large team and all of them are so helpful and always been there to help us get from point A to point B to point Z the whole way. They've literally been just one of the best cities we've ever worked with. No, I'm sorry, the best city that we've ever worked with. Now when I'm in another city, I'll tell them that too, but I want to thank the mayor pro tem who is here also city councilman that is here. It means a lot to us that we have support from folks that are in places of leadership. I also want to thank Bessie Watson for her support throughout this neighborhood association president is a key part of the team. Without her, we would not do with you wouldn't see what you see behind me without her because of her vision and encouragement and support. I want to thank my staff who is part of it. If you're on a homesfolk staff, please raise your hand. Let's give them a round of applause. I don't think we have any board members here today. Do we have any board members? Okay. So tell them I thanked them and said nice things about them. There's a part of this development that's really important is called money. So my banker over here, Ken Britton and the original banker in the project, Jay Rattery, who went to Banker Heaven after the project got started. So Ken took it over, but both of them, guys, you all know how much you mean to us and not only being supporters and lending money that we can finish this project, but just being good friends. Y'all really are amazing. So please give First Horizon Bank a hand and we wouldn't have anything to celebrate if we didn't have a really good general contractor to build it. Now I don't know if Michael Rabie is here today. Is he here? Is anybody? So Michael did, he's what I call the dirt developer. He moved all the dirt around and built the streets and roads to get ready for housing. So he's not here. I'll thank him later. But the builder is here, Kevin House. Raise your hand please, sir. And Skyler Satterfield, where are you? I don't see him. There he is. I'm telling you, Great Southern Homes is an awesome builder to work with. They have absolutely been with us as a partner the whole way, been over backwards numerous times to really dig in and be a part of this vision of affordable housing. And I can't say enough about Great Southern Homes and how great they have been to work with. And if you need a house built, please call them because they really deserve your business. They've done amazing work and are continuing to do work for us. So let's give Great Southern Homes a round of applause as well. Two other people I was going to thank. They're not here. So I'll thank them later. Jeff Randolph, in case you're wondering, in case he asked, and Randall Wolford, who were overseeing the development the whole way, really could not do this without them and their expertise. So to me, I just want to close with what I opened with. If what we do here is just building sticks and bricks, then we've failed. We really, if what we do here is help build community and families and individuals can connect to resources for economic mobility, then I think we can celebrate that. Please join me in thanking Homes of Hope, even though I'm at Homes of Hope, because they let us do this. The Board of Directors of Homes of Hope and all our supporters, without them we couldn't do it. So yay, Homes of Hope! And I will close with this, literally, really, I will. Gloria, I'm not kidding. You've been great to work with. And that means so much when we're working with government money. It has government restrictions and government rules. It's not that easy. Not because of her, but because of the other folks. But she has been great to work with in her whole team and staff. And I think Fernando is here somewhere, too. I forgot to mention, there he is in the back. Thank you, Fernando. Anyway, I'll hush now. Thank you all for being here. We're really celebrating this with you, and I'm very thrilled to be a part of it. Thanks. Good morning. And we thank God for this day. On behalf of the Edistor Court community, I would like to thank our Mayor, our current Mayor, our Recurman, and Mayor Benjamin, and City Council members, and County Council members past and present, because it was because of their leadership to bring this day to fruition. We thank Homes of Hope for bringing these beautiful homes to our community. We really do appreciate it. And working with us on this, I would be remiss if I didn't thank Fred Delk and Community Development for all of their hard work and just staying with the project. It has been a long time, but we appreciate it so much. I would also like to thank U.S. Representative Clyburn and Isaac McClinton. They were instrumental in bringing this to pass as well. I would like to thank all of the residents of the Edistor Court community, past and present for their support to bring affordable housing and this project to our community. And we welcome our new neighbors. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Ms. Watson, and to all of our speakers today. I told you it was going to be a short program. But before we move on to the ribbon-cutting piece, I too want to take an opportunity to thank a few people. First and foremost, I want to recognize my staff, the community development staff, those of you who are around with the blue shirts on, some of you with white shirts. Would you all please raise your hands? Thank you all so much. You guys, I tell you this couldn't be done without your support. So today I'm telling you publicly thank you so much for all the hard work that you all do to help us accomplish those things that we're tasked with on a daily basis. In addition to that, I'm going to mention a couple of other departments that have been very helpful through this process with being planning and development, because we know we have to work through them to get those permits and things like that that were needed. I want to thank our Parks and Recreation Department for helping us to set things up for your comfort today. In addition to our public relations department, there's so much that we all have to do together to pull these things off successfully. So I do want to say to all of you, thank you so much. And also to our videographer that's here today, which is Seven Sunday, we appreciate you all being present. And you've done so much and you've got a couple other things to help us with this week in regards to community development week and celebrating our successes with using these federal dollars. And lastly, Homes of Hope and First Horizon, thank you for the refreshments. We want to make sure that you all grab a cookie and some water and the brochures just to find out a little more information about all those programs that we offer through the City of Columbia's Community Development Department. So as Don said, housing is one thing. But if we can't do anything beyond that to enrich people's lives, then we're missing the point. So please take the time to capture those other brochures to see what other programs that we do provide through community development. And lastly, I do want to recognize our citizen advisory committee members who are here today. I know that I have this wonderful lady, Ms. Wanda Cannon, sitting right in front of me. Are there any other CAC members here today? We can't do our work either.  So I thank you for being here today. And this is your neighborhood too, right? OK, fabulous. So having said that, we're going to go ahead and move into our ribbon-cutting portion of the program. So if I can ask our individuals that's on the program that we can step behind here where you see the ribbon. And once we perform the ribbon-cutting, there are two units open that you'll be able to view. And again, thank you all so much for attending today.


Hello, 127th Wing. I'm General Momin and welcome to the April drill. Today we're filming from munitions. I want to tell you how critical munitions is to the 127th Wing and its projection of combat power. Some of the things that they do here is track every piece of munition that the 127th Wing uses. That's not just for the aircraft. They track everything from a 9mm bullet that our defenders will use all the way up to a 2,000 pound precision guide of munition like the one you see behind us here. Typically, any time we do any kind of deployment or exercise, munitions is usually the first in and the last out. They usually show up to the location about a week prior to get things set up to build the bombs as necessary to be successful during the exercise.  So today I'm here to recognize Sergeant Van Heverbeck for all the work he's been doing for the 127th Wing. Most recently he was with the team that traveled to Vogue Field, Wisconsin where we're working on a new innovative capability for the A-10. That is the miniature air launch decoy or the Malt. It's a new thing that the A-10s can be doing that we can present for our combatant commanders. So with that I want to thank you for all the work that you're doing. Appreciate it. And thanks for everything you do for the 127th Wing. Now for a quick COVID update. The 127th Wing is still in health protection condition Bravo. Our community transmission level of COVID-19 is low. So what does that mean for all of us? That means no one is required to wear masks. Again that is voluntary. If you wish to wear a mask you can but it's not a requirement anymore. And because we are in a low infection area weekly testing is no longer required. We are closely monitoring the new Omicron variant that is spreading throughout the community. As of right now again our community levels are low. But again we ask for everybody's flexibility in case we have to change posture. But please remember if you're not feeling well please do not show up to work. Please stay home and get tested. All right some things to consider for this April drill. Remember looking forward we're going to be doing a contested generation in May in both the KC-135s and the A-10s. So this drill the April drill is your last opportunity to make sure that you're ready to do that. So what does that look like when we don't have power or we don't have computer access and we have to generate aircraft? So those are some of the things that you need to consider and think about this drill to be ready for the May drill. Now I'd just like to remind everybody about our air show and open house in July. Hot off the presses this week we've expanded our show so as you remember we do have the F-22 demo for the air show. But now we also have the Canadian CF-18 demo and the Air Force C-17 demo and the Army Golden Knights. The show should be fantastic again remember it's 9 and 10 July and I'm looking forward to seeing everybody there for the air show and open house. This month is the month of the Guard family. And as you recall when we talked about culture several months ago the one word that was used the most how you want the culture to be described in the 127th wing is family. So I ask you to think about that and reach out to your wingman. See how your buddy is doing. Make sure that we are truly being a family here in the 127th wing. It is our goal to be the best led most efficient effective and adaptable organization in the United States Air Force. I appreciate your leadership and I appreciate your professionalism.


I'm very pleased to welcome to the studio, Sasha Polvarini, who is the Senior Program Officer at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and also the Chairman of the Focus Group for Digital Financial Services, which is why we're all here today, Sasha. Thank you very much for being with us in the studio. It's going to be a very busy week for you. Thanks for having me. Well, before we go any further, just remind us why you're here, why this group exists. What's it for? So we are here for the last meeting of the year of the Focus Group for Digital Financial Services for Financial Inclusion. This is the fourth meeting we are having and we still have three to go next year. The Focus Group was created exactly in December last year, so this is our anniversary, if you want, the first year in life. And the idea was to have a forum for discussion where regulators from the financial services sector and the telecommunications sector could meet, realizing that at the international and local level the dialogue between these two regulators is not always happening in a framed, constructive, organized way. It could be very casual, very occasional, not necessarily consistent. And we also wanted to include, of course, the private sector, because regulation and policy needs to be implemented then by the industry. So the private sector has an important say in everything that has been adopted from the regulatory perspective from regulators. The idea is really to create this forum for discussion where we have all representative of the payment digital financial services value chain represented in one single place. And this is probably the uniqueness of this Focus Group, having really different players, different stakeholders with different interests and background. And discuss how digital financial services can be better regulated, knowing that many developing countries that are trying to adopt digital financial services to promote financial inclusion and achieve financial inclusion objectives are somehow struggling to regulate them properly. So we really think about tools, guidelines, best practices, principles, toolkits that this group can develop so that can fast track policy making and policy reform and local level. So we are here for our end of the year meeting to take stock of what the group has done in the last 12 months and really progress the debate on some of the major issues. And what's the urgency here? What big difference is it going to make to people's lives to have more access to banking services? We think at the Gates Foundation, but we are also consistent with our partners, like the World Bank, SIGAP, AFI. We think that access to the right tools at the right time can make really a difference for low-income households. The difference in terms of the ability to seize opportunities in terms of business, so creating a new business or growing business, but also the opportunity to weather risk in a much more sustainable way. So events like disease in a family or a funeral, but positive events like a wedding can be really capital intensive, a push a household into poverty or keep it the household into poverty. So really having the access to the right financial tools at the right moment can provide the ability for a household of poor people to lift themselves out of poverty. Okay. If they don't have access to those services, it makes life that much more difficult for them. And we're talking around, well, over 2 billion people. Right. And are you expectant that this is the start of a process which is going to lead to ending that situation so that everyone has access to financial services in some form? Right. So 2 billion people is a huge number. And we're talking about 2 billion people living with less than $2 per day. Of course, the 2 billion people, the more billion people that are living with $5 per day are not super better off than $2 per day. So, I mean, the level of poverty can be varied. It's a starting point for us. So we know that most developing countries now have a financial inclusion strategy, and many more are working on national financial inclusion strategy. And the digital financial services is becoming a pillar of this strategy, simply because the realization that even being poor doesn't prevent people from having access to a mobile phone, owning it or using it from friends or relatives. So that's a light infrastructure that already exists, and that can be leveraged to really provide access to basic and affordable financial services for the poor. So really we are moved by the belief that this technology can really represent the first step on the ladder for poor people that then become much more familiar with these services and move up on the ladder using insurance, savings and loans, so not just payment system, and have access to basic financial services that can be really helpful for them and their welfare. Well, as you said, we're speaking a year after this process kicked off. In the short term, the short feature, what would be some real specific examples where you can say, yep, we've made real progress there? What are you looking for in the next two years? So as I said, the whole objective of the focus group is to develop some tools that can be used off the shelf almost by regulators to fast track reform. So for instance, if we look about interoperability as an issue, which is policy and non-policy at the same time, a number of countries and regulators are looking at interoperability and interoperable solutions. So I have a bank account or mobile wallet with an operator. I want to send money to you. You are on a different system. Is that happening? Or I'm just able to send money to people who have the same account in the same bank or with the same telecommunication company. Interoperability creates choices and of course increases functionalities and easy to transact. So it's certainly something that we want to promote in the medium-long term, something that we should be achieved. Now, how to do it? Do regulators know when the market is ready? And of course, a lot of resistance from the industry because if I have to build an agent network to provide my cash in and cash out services to poor customers, I don't want anybody else to use my network. I invested in millions or in thousands of agents and now all of a sudden there's a free lunch for someone else. So how do we strike the right balance? Now, through the interoperability working group of the focus group, we are trying to see, okay, what is the roadmap that can lead to interoperable systems starting from maybe account to account and then to network to network and then other levels of interoperabilities. And interoperability doesn't mean only technical issues like my technical protocol interact and speak to your technical protocol. It means also having the right rules, the right regulations that needs to be consistent with the existing framework. And there should be business rules that allow all parties to be happy. So how do we share revenues that are generated through these product and services? So all this needs to be done in a consistent and proper way with the industry being consulted. So if this group is able to create a toolkit or provide guiding principles to regulators, at least they have a starting point where they can start a reflection with the industry and fast track that process. The same thing for consumer protection. How do we develop a proper framework for consumers? When the market is at a very early stage of development, we probably have maybe a million customers and the target is 10 million customers or 50 million customers. So I guess that the framework should be looking differently if we have 50 millions or 1 million. 1 million because consumer protection translates into cost. There's no free lunch there as well. So how do we make sure that we prioritize the right requirements? So do we need to have a fully fledged system for data protection on day one or it's better to have a call center so that the customer who's making a mistake has a number to call and they can maybe redress the situation which put them in a sort of uncomfortable situation. And probably transparency of prices and tariffs plus a call center and redress mechanism is more important than a fully fledged data protection system which can come later when we have 5 million, 10 million, 50 million customers and then it becomes really an issue how to protect those data. So we can look forward to a comprehensive toolkit on a level playing field. That's what you're all working towards and I do wish you all the best with that. Thank you very much for being with us today. Sasha Pulverini. Thank you.

I'm pleased to introduce ObjectsLink RISK 5 edition. So I decided to develop a new version of ObjectsLink based on ESP32C3 with RISK 5 CPU because it's very useful for several IoT applications, for example wearable devices. In addition, this version of ObjectsLink also has Bluetooth 5.0 and Wi-Fi 4. The goal of ObjectsLink is to provide reusable and easy-to-repair hardware for several IoT applications. To do this, I'm developing different versions of ObjectsLink with different SOC or my controller, but still keeping the same form factor and pinout with slim stack connectors. It works the same way as the ESP32PCOD4 based version and all JPO's have been implemented in order to keep compatibility with existing modules. For example, this way the HDC1080 module is compatible with ObjectsLink RISK 5 edition. So just install the ESP32C3 core on Arduino either or similar software to be able to program the board. But some libraries may not be compatible, about this I'm doing some tests these days and in the future I will make a video more about the architect and idea of ObjectsLink project. Now I show you how I assembled and soldered ObjectsLink RISK 5 edition. This video is sponsored by PCBWay. You can order your PCBs for only $5. For more info, find all links below in the description.


and its 96,000 dealers present Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's star Mr. Van Johnson in Salvage, a suspense play produced and edited by William Spear. Happy Easter, Mr. Wilcox. Thank you, my happy haxter. Say, that motor sounds sweet as an Easter sonnet. Ignition-engineered auto-light spark plugs, no doubt. Yes, sir. I just had it tuned up for the Easter parade.  The spark plug that offers four big advantages to car owners everywhere. Go on, Mr. Wilcox. We're right in the middle of the Easter parade now. Well, wide-gap auto-light resistor spark plugs give greater gas savings, faster starts in cold weather, smoother performance, even double life under equal conditions compared to spark plugs without the built-in resistor. Every advantage a winner. And it's all because of the 10,000 ohm exclusive auto-light resistor built right into every auto-light resistor spark plug to make practical a wider initial-gap setting. So, friends, see your friendly auto-light spark plug dealer tomorrow. Have him replace worn-out spark plugs with ignition-engineered auto-light spark plugs. Whether you choose the resistor type or the regular type, you'll be right because you're always right with auto-light. And now, with salvage and the performance of Van Johnson, auto-light hopes once again to keep you in suspense. So it's gone up in smoke. Oh, I'm not complaining. Maybe $400,000 seems a little steep. A week ago, I would have said $400,000 was a lot of money to light a cigarette with. But it's funny the things you find out, the things that are really important when you're about to die. She came in without knocking and sat down on the edge of my rooming-house bed and it was so quiet you could hear the springs creak, both of them. I went unpacking my suitcase after a quick look for the changes marriage sometimes makes in a woman. I found none. She was still as approachable as a park bench. She sat there watching me and suddenly I realized that love can be as close to hate as the two sides of a thin dime. Going somewhere? No, I just pack a suitcase to keep in training. Someday I may have to skip out in a hurry. Miss me? Beat it? I'm busy. Just as I thought. You still love me, Danny. Deep down. What did you come up here for? To excavate? No. I thought you might be interested in the job. Any job you could offer me wouldn't pay enough. It might. And my income tax would be too high. Beat it. It's a job flying a plane. Who's plane? If you're interested, you can get the details tonight. All I know is that there's good money in it and it's temporary. What isn't? Are you interested? Where do I get the details? How about Mike's on 59th Street for dinner? 8 o'clock? I'll think it over. You always said you liked adventure better than money. I never said that. I like them both. Well, you get them both to get this job. If I get it, who will I be working for? My husband. Who else? Mr. and Mrs. Wendell H. Davis arrived at Mike's a little after 9. He was the kind of a good-natured, back-slapping, hands-shaking guy that dogs rough up against and children eat spinach from. Sorry we kept you waiting, Connor.  You know, unexpected business. Forget it. You know what I think, Connor? There are only two kinds of people in this world. Those who are always waiting for something and those who keep them waiting. How about something to eat? It can wait. What's the deal? The deal? Oh, of course, of course. Gloria thinks you can handle a certain job, Connor. If it's a flying job, I can handle it. That's what I like to hear. Confidence. Nothing like confidence in yourself. Where did you learn to fly? The United States Navy. Don't say that. That's wonderful. I was in myself back in the First World War. Got myself assigned to a trim and sea-worthy desk as you could find in Washington. How long we in? Four years. Four years? Don't say. Can you navigate? Sure. The United States Navy likes to know where it's going. All right. The job's yours. If you don't mind, Mr. Davis, I'd like to know what kind of a job it is. You'll be working for the Intercontinent Salvation Corporation, an enterprise incorporated under the laws of the state of New York. Are you satisfied? What are you going to salvage? Gold. That's nice work. Is there money in it? Is there money in it? Say, this fellow's killing me, Gloria. I wonder if that would quiet you a little. We're in business, Connor, to salvage gold from the ocean bottom. Tell me, do you know what a galleon is? Sure. Four quarts. All right. Now, this is a serious businessman, Connor. If you aren't interested, just say so. A galleon is an old Spanish sailing vessel. What of it? Galleon's the kind of a boat the Spaniards used to use to send gold back to Spain. Now, here. See this map here? The circle takes in Cuba and the Bahamas. Right in here, they went down by the dozens, and all. Sometimes pirates sunk them. Sometimes they hit a hurricane. But the gold is still there. Billions. Billions. Some of the places marked here actually show latitude and longitude. If the stuff is located so exactly, why hasn't it been salvaged till now? Oh, plenty of it's been salvaged already. You don't hear about it because the government has a habit of taking such big cuts that most salvage workers kept secret. And some of it's a little harder to get at. Why? Just little things like hurricanes, sharks, sometimes island savages. But intercontinent is going down after that gold on a big scale. Extremely. I see.  Exactly. We're a stock corporation with almost a half a million dollars invested in capital. And where does my job come in exactly? Now, Conner, do we have to discuss all the details right now? Glory is hungry. You're so right. I'm hungry too. Let's relax and eat and forget business for a while. No, let's not. All right. Have a joy, Conner. Briefly, there are three parts to it. The first is to do as you're told. The second is to keep your mouth shut. And the third is to fly an airplane. That's simple enough, huh? How much does the third part pay? It's not piecework, Conner. The whole job pays 10,000. So far so good. Your job is to scout the area ahead of the salvage vessel. The only way to cover that much water is with an airplane. Does that satisfy you? There was something about when the late Davis and Intercontinent Salvage Corporation I didn't like. And when I saw the tub charted by Intercontinent, I liked it even less. She was built back in the 90s. Her original boilers had long since been replaced with a pair of pocket-sized oil burners. There was nothing after her bright work and the varnish had peeled off topside. She didn't look safe enough to sail in a fish pond. The last thing to go aboard her was the plane. A war surplus job Davis bought from somebody who had picked it up cheap from war assets. It was fitted with pontoons and extra gas tanks, and I took it up to the cape and back in a trial spin with when the late Davis accompanying me. Think she's good enough to fly nonstop across the Gulf of Mexico? The Gulf of Mexico? You want to brush up on your geography? Just answer my question, Conner. Don't worry about my geography. My geography's fine. Then your sense of direction's not so good. We're not going that way. Answer my question. If you want to fly out of the Gulf of Mexico, I guess you'll oblige. Going out of the 11 o'clock tide that night, it was after 10. Behind me in the afterdeck, I heard a soft step in the darkness. It was glorious. Going to kiss me goodbye? Seems we're always saying goodbye. I'll miss you, darling. Save it for your husband. I was just thinking of saying goodbye to him myself. What do you mean? This job I don't like. I don't think this tub can even get out to sea. What are you worrying about? There's a plane on board. I still don't like it. What don't you like about it, Danny? Mostly Wendell H. Davis. I don't think he's the good-natured, back-slapping guy he seems. It's a long trip. Something might happen to him. An accident. An accident? You heard what he said. Hurricane, sharks, poison coral. If you didn't want somebody to come back, it'd be easy. You'd be sitting pretty if he didn't come back, wouldn't you? We would, Danny. Together. Is that why you got me this job? Because I love you and I know you still love me. We wouldn't ever have to say goodbye again. This would be the last time. I'll be waiting for you, darling. I walked away.  I stood there. Everything was a matter with this setup. My smiling employer, whom I didn't trust, a tub of a ship to sail in and a plane that wouldn't have passed inspection in World War I. And Gloria, whose real name was Trouble. What sense was that of taking a job like that? No sense. Maybe that's why I took it. ProLight is bringing you Van Johnson in Salvid. Tonight's production in Radio's Outstanding Theatre of Thrills. Suspense. Get an Easter eggs, Mr. Wilcox. Eggs? Yes, sir. Half a dozen assorted colors. And what do you think was in them? You're right. You're right. A set of white gap bottle light resistor spark plugs. The newest addition to the complete line of regular transport aviation marine, resistor and model spark plugs. Ignition engineered by AutoLight. And man, you should have heard those proud beauties all firing in perfect order after I had them installed in my car. The Easter Bunny was sure good to you, Mr. Wilcox. Sure was because those white gap AutoLight resistor spark plugs give every car owner greater gas savings, smoother performance, faster starts in cold weather, even double life as compared to spark plugs without the built-in resistor. And it's all because a 10,000 ohm exclusive AutoLight resistor is built right into every AutoLight resistor spark plug. This makes practical a wider initial gap setting, the advantages of which have long been recognized by automotive engineers. So friends, see your friendly AutoLight spark plug dealer tomorrow. Have him replace worn out spark plugs with ignition engineered AutoLight spark plugs. Whether you choose the resistor type or the regular type, you'll be right because you're always right with AutoLight. And now AutoLight brings back to our Hollywood soundstage our star, Van Johnson in salvage. A tale well calculated to keep you in suspense. When the tub went out on the 11 o'clock tide that night, I was on it. I kept thinking about Gloria and why she got me that job. I kept wondering if the tub could stay afloat. I kept wondering why Davis asked about flying the Gulf of Mexico. And then I found something else to wonder about. It took me a couple of days to realize that there was something funny about the crew. There were six Chinese who slept below deck aft, and none of them could speak English. Cook was a Korean, and this conversation consisted of a wide grin. The three deckhands were fresh from Portugal. A mate was a sullen German, and the captain was almost completely deaf, and a boozer besides. It took me a couple of days, but suddenly I realized what it was. There wasn't a man in that crew I could talk to. See anything of Mr. Davis? The big boss. Nice niece.  Just answer yes or no. Listen, you're the mate on this tub, and we're off our course. I tried to tell the captain, but he's so tanked up we'll be in Galapagos before his head clears. Hey! Oh, nuts. Of course. I opened the door and saw the operator at his table. Earphones clamped on. He looked around at me, and I stopped dead. The operator in the radio cabin was a skinny red-headed kid with a frightened look on his baby face. The only one in the crew who could speak English was a badly frightened kid. My name's Connor. I'm the pilot for that crate out there. Mine's Scott. Come on in. If I can get in, this cubby hole must have been built to hold a captain's toothbrush. What I wanted was to check the time from Arlington. Sure, they'll be on in a few minutes. You're not exactly an old sea dog, are you? This is my first job. You look nervous. Well, I... I want to make good, but I... Anything wrong? Do you know exactly where we are? Somewhere along the coast of Florida. Why? What's the latitude and longitude of where we are now? Well, let's see now. The latitude is about 30 and the longitude is around 78. That's right. So why does Mr. Davis tell me to send a message that our latitude is 25 and longitude is 72? What? We aren't within 500 miles of there. Why does he want anyone to think we are? I wonder. Did you see the diving equipment? Yeah, I once saw some diver's work. This stuff is no good. That's what I thought myself. I wouldn't wear it in a bathtub. I hate to think of anyone going down in it. Maybe nobody has to go down in it. Huh? Maybe nobody was ever supposed to go down in it. What do you mean? Maybe this whole trip is a fake. Fake? Maybe what Wendell H. Davis is doing is skipping with the money invested in intercontinent salvage corporation. That would explain everything. A broken down tub that's going nowhere. A crew that asks no questions. A plane that's meant to fly Davis out of the country while this tub is reported 500 miles from here. Oh, I don't know what to do. I'm not supposed to send false information when I know it's false. You might get yourself in a lot of trouble, Scotty, if you don't. You're right. But I ought to do my duty. Report our position accurately. And that's what I'm gonna do. Get the plane started, Connor. He was just a scared kid. Get the plane started. Just a kid worrying about his first job. You heard me, Connor. Get the plane started. There was blood oozing under my shoe. I looked at the table at the dangling earphones. Then I went out with Davis following me. The gun trembling a little in his pudgy hand. He got a black release like bank messengers carry out of his cabin. On deck, the crew got steam on one of the winches. I freed the boom and Davis climbed into the plane beside me. I turned on the ignition. We bobbed on the water and taxied for a minute to find the wind and warm the motor. We gathered speed like a roller coaster, a wave slapping at the pontoons. I climbed to about 3,000 feet and leveled off. The gun was still pointing at me. Boy, Davis. Keep flying. Where to? About 10 miles south of Tampa. My wife's waiting to be picked up. I rented a beach cottage there a couple of weeks ago. Are you sure she's waiting? That's the trouble with you, Connor. You don't trust women because you don't understand them. A woman has no sense of justice. It's like children and madmen. You can't hold them responsible for anything. Maybe she's waiting, maybe not. And after that? Across the Gulf. When do you pay me? When we land in Mexico. Safe. Look, Davis, as long as we're both in this plane, anything that happens to me happens to you too. So we're not going to land anywhere until you throw that gun away. When we land in Mexico, you'll get your money. It's a matter, don't you trust me? How much is in that bag? All the assets have been to Condit and Salvage Corporation? 400 grand. A lot of fish to toss to the sharks. Sharks? Down there.  Which goes into the drink? The gun or you? The gun stays where it is. Okay. I climbed to 6,000 feet. I looked at him and his hand was steady. The gun's still pointing at me. I cut the throttle and we drifted a moment and lurched a nose straight down. The wind screamed louder and louder past the wings. I looked at Davis again. He was pale, but his hand didn't move an inch. At 1,000 feet it twitched. At 500, I stopped breathing. The plane was twisting out of 300 feet. I threw open the throttle. The plane clawed for altitude, but the wind was hitting it like a madman. I could have told you. I always do. You don't know how close you came to being wrong. I almost lost control. We almost hit the water like a tub of cement. Yeah. For a minute there, you look kind of worried. It's easy to make a mistake about someone like Wendell H. Davis. He looked like a good natured back-slapping guy until you get a close look at those grey, murderous eyes. Dark beach with the dim blights of a car. I brought the plane down in the water and taxied as close as possible. I climbed out with Davis behind me. We waited in. Davis grinning as Gloria came toward us. Got a rented car? Sure. Got in Tampa, like you said. Well, start it. I don't like flying with Connor. He almost spilled me in the drink. He might try it again. Is this where I collect like that frightened kid in the radio cabin? What happened? The less a woman knows, the smarter she is. Start the car. You won't get away. When that tub is found, you'll be wanted for murder. Me? Why? I couldn't kill him. I don't even exist. What do you mean? The captain will swear this plane was upscouting ahead of the salvage vessel when it crashed into the sea, and both of us were lost. You paid him? Enough, so he'll stick to his story. We were over a bad stretch, no chance of finding us.   You don't look happy, Connor. That's too bad. I'd like to see a man die happy. I stood there, paralyzed. She tried to hold onto his arm after knocking it aside. Blood was crawling down her face. He rinsed his arm free and she sank down on the beach. I don't know how I got to him, but I heard the crushing sound as I hit him. I could feel his nose spread under my fist like unbaked dough. The gun dropped from his linked fingers, but I didn't stop to look. I threw myself at him.  The look on his pudgy face was more astonishment than pain. He sank to one knee and tried to get up and fell. He lifted his head like a lizard in the sand, but there were no more words before it dropped again. She was still firing the empty gun at him. I took the gun gently from her hand. I lifted her head, smoothed back her hair. Yes, you did. Dead enough. Just put your head back. Everything's blurred. You'll be all right. That shock just sampled your skin. Just a superficial wound, that's all. That killed him. I thought when you got me that job, you'd know that what payoff would be. I was all wrong about you. You risked your life for me. My head's spinning. You're going to be all right. Everything's going to be all right now. Everything. Once we get across the Gulf, just as he said, he doesn't exist. The plane fell into the sea while scouting ahead of the salvage vessel. The captain will swear to it, your late husband bought us our freedom, paid for it himself. Gloria. Gloria. She blacked out. I thought of getting her a doctor right away, but that would be too risky. It was just a superficial wound, mostly shock. I tore off part of my shirt and whetted it at the water's edge. I washed the blood from her hair and face and bay of the wound. I lifted her gently in my arms and carried her out to the plane and made her comfortable. Then I went back for Davis. I searched him, but he wasn't carrying anything. No identification, just a claim taken on an express office in Mexico City. I took it, and I got his body into the plane and climbed an after him with the black bag. I turned on the ignition and the plane moved out into the Gulf. I got rid of everything in my own pockets, everything that could identify me, just to be safe. All I kept was an old cigarette case with no initials, a pocket compass, and the express ticket. Then I began prying open the lock in the black bag. I felt good. A strange feeling of being completely detached from the world down there, free of it. Them I didn't exist anymore. 400 grand could make a world of its own, a world for just Gloria and me. A bright moon rode between broken patches of cloud as I got the lock open. I stared in. I heard myself breathing hard as if somebody else was grinning over my shoulder. The bag was filled with strips of newspaper. I don't know how long I stared straight ahead like a blind man. I heard Gloria murmuring coming out of it. I grabbed her arm. The money. It's not in that bag. That black bag's a fake. Oh, he told me just before I sailed what he really did with me. Told you what? Didn't tell me till just before I sailed. Didn't trust anyone, not even me. Afraid I might double-cross. Told you what? Where is it? Must be carrying an express ticket. An express ticket? That's why I was waiting for him at the beach cottage. What's the express ticket for? Where are we, Danny? Are you taking me to a doctor? We'll get to a doctor, don't worry. What's the express ticket for? Trunk. The Mexico City Express office. More money's in it. The express ticket? Then everything's okay. That ticket's worth $400,000, and we've got it. We've got it. Well, where are we, Danny? Don't worry about a thing, darling. Once we get across the Gulf, everything will be all right. The Gulf? Now, don't worry. I'll get you to a doctor as soon as we get across. You blacked out, but it was only a shock just a superficial wound. Turn back. I got you into the... Danny. What's wrong? We'll be across the Gulf. Did you hear me? Turn back. Look, darling, get a hold of yourself. I haven't sex. Listen to me. Turn back. What's wrong with you? I'm doing this because I love you. Do you want to risk a murder charge?  You think I cared what happened to you? I did it because I hated him. Because he killed... Who? You don't mean Scotty? Turn back, please. The love of him. What's that poor kid got to do with you? Poor kid. His baby face could fool anyone. It always did. We once had a dancing act together. I got him a job. I'm at top. Job? We had it all planned. It was so simple, we thought. All we had to do was switch black bags. And once you took my husband across the Gulf... Something's wrong. That first night out, Scotty drained the extra gas tanks. Waves knotted the rec plane like rats' teeth. By the third night, Gloria was completely out of her head. It was horrible.  By the seventh day, I gave up all hope. Till then, I figured I had a chance. Maybe one chance and a thousand. A chance worth 400 grand. And you made it. If you kept quiet about that express ticket... There is no express ticket. I found a soaked cigarette in my case. It didn't take long to dry. So I had a cigarette. But no match. Till I remember the compass in my pocket. Compass? With a little magnifying glass on it. You know how the sun's rays through a glass like that can set fire to the paper? And I had a piece of paper. Just one piece. That express ticket? I didn't touch it. Day after day, I clunked at one chance and a thousand for seven days. Seven? We picked you up on the seventh day. You mean just before we... Like I said, I'm not complaining. That cigarette sure felt good. Felt like a million dollars. Presented by AutoLite. Tonight's star, Van Johnson. A parade. I'm sorry, it's over. Over?

This module is related to the microeconomics and macroeconomics and Out of this topic I am going to give some brief related to the macroeconomics Macroeconomics is that branch of economics that deals with the aggregatings that deals with the Collective things and if we say in the words of the Professor Henson that is the branch of economics which considers the relationship between large Aggregate and these large aggregates are basically volume of employment the national income the total trade like this and the national income and the latest definition that is given by George Mankiv that the Macroeconomics today is the study of fluctuations in the cycles of income and economic growth unemployment production and income distribution inflation and financial markets and in this way we can say that Everything that is happening in the economy at the larger scale. It will come under the domain of macroeconomics Macroeconomics the word has been derived from the Greek word macro Children here I would like to keep one thing in front of you that the way our Urdu language Arabic and Persian so if we see any term in English or any old word then since the English language Markets Yunani and Latini Zubans So that's why whenever we have a term like this then we see that the actual meaning behind it Either Greek language or Yunani Zubans or Latin that is the Latini Zubans That's why you won't have this thing that it always comes in front of us in Greek or Latin words And here the macros meaning Here that is the macros meaning the big Sorry here. I have written something one word and T small it should be and It uses the macroeconomic indicators and when we say the macroeconomic indicators So we say everything that is happening in the economy at the larger scale Any indicator that will express its performance that will be the macroeconomic indicator Keeping in view the various function There are the various school of thoughts of the macroeconomics that over the time has evolved That school of thoughts are basically the ideas the knowledge The pool of the ideas that have developed from one country to the other and from one century to the other There can be the classical economics there can be the Canadian economic and new classical new Canadian Monterros and Austrian economies post-Canadian Institutional and these all thoughts when we study the macroeconomics in very very detailed then we dig out all the Issues that has been developed and the policies and the modules basically The theories that have been developed that are many in the line But the major four and five theories that have shaped the today's macroeconomics The one of them is the theory of income and employment because Macroeconomics deal with the national income and national income is not possible Until and unless we are going to decide that how the total Population is going to work in the economy How many of them they are employed how many of them they are not able to get the employment and How we can improve their productivity to have more output and that more output will lead Towards the more income of the economy So in the theory of income and employment we study level of aggregate demand determinants developed by John Kinney's its response to the great depression that was in 1930 and The issues related to that depression that paved the way to the development of this theory and the main aspect that was developed by that time of the theory that was the multiplier effect that how One factor will multiply in many forms to give boost to the economic growth then the second theory of general price level and inflation and this theory and Compasses many other parts that is the inflation aggregate demand size supply side shocks expectation and the most important the Phillips curve that is the relationship between the wage inflation and Unemployment the actual decision and the problem that every economy faces daily in its working The third group the main group is that is the theory of growth and there are again a list of various theories That has been given in that group this theory Basically, that was given in the start by the solos when then it again came in the shape of the new Androgynous growth theory and dogenous growth theory new classical theory and then the institutional part Theory of distribution that is concerned with all the aspects of the economy either income either it is the wealth or Related to these aspects how these are being Distributed among all the factors of the economy. So this theory Again, that is very important for the macroeconomics
