Brain drain refers to the emigration of skilled professionals from their home country. Pakistan experiences significant brain drain due to various push and pull factors. Push factors include lack of opportunities, low salaries, unemployment, and lack of respect for professionals. Pull factors include better career opportunities, higher salaries, advanced research resources, and superior living conditions in destination countries. As a result of brain drain, Pakistan loses valuable human capital and healthcare services, spending foreign exchange to hire replacement foreign experts. To reduce brain drain, the document argues Pakistan needs economic development through a stable currency, political stability, and improved tax system/governance to attract skilled emigrants to return and invest.
This document presents a group project on the topic of brain drain. It begins with defining brain drain as the emigration of skilled individuals for better opportunities elsewhere. It then discusses the push factors that drive people away from their home countries, like lack of employment and low wages, and the pull factors that attract them to other countries, like higher salaries and better career prospects. The rest of the document outlines the contents of the presentation, which will cover the origin of the term brain drain, types of brain drain, reasons for and consequences of brain drain in India, solutions to curb brain drain, and advantages of brain drain.
The document discusses brain drain, which is the emigration of skilled individuals from developing countries to developed countries. It provides historical context and discusses push factors like lack of opportunities in home countries and pull factors like better pay and facilities abroad. While brain drain has negatively impacted developing nations, some argue it can become "brain gain" if skilled emigrants return with new knowledge or if their success inspires others to remain. Larger countries experience less severe brain drain relative to their populations. Addressing factors that drive emigration like improving education and opportunities could help stem continuous losses of human capital.
The document discusses brain drain, which refers to the emigration of skilled professionals from one country to another for better opportunities. It defines brain drain and provides its history, characteristics, concept and magnitude. Some key points include:
- Brain drain is the movement of skilled workers like engineers, doctors and scientists to countries with more favorable conditions. It can occur when foreign-educated individuals do not return home or when locals emigrate.
- Major flows are from developing to developed nations. Push factors in home countries include low wages and lack of opportunities, while pulls are higher salaries, better facilities and economic prospects abroad.
- Though remittances benefit origin countries, brain drain also results in human capital losses and shortages of
This document summarizes a presentation on brain drain in Nepal. It defines brain drain as the emigration of trained professionals to other countries for better opportunities. Some key facts presented include that 1,200 Nepalis leave the country daily to study or work abroad and 982,000 emigrated in 2010, comprising 3.3% of Nepal's population. Causes of brain drain from Nepal include lack of opportunities, low salaries, desire for higher education, and pull factors in other countries like job opportunities and better facilities. The brain drain negatively impacts Nepal's development, economy, and workforce. Recommendations to address brain drain include increasing salaries, educational opportunities, and prohibiting nepotism.
POVERTY REDUCTION IN Pakistan: Learning from the experience of ChinaSHABBIR AHMAD
This document discusses learning from China's experience in reducing poverty in Pakistan. It provides background on poverty in China and Pakistan. China successfully reduced poverty from 88% in 1981 to 6.5% in 2012 through various strategies, including economic reforms, infrastructure development, industrialization, and accountability. For Pakistan to learn from China's success, some key strategies are proposed: implementing targeted conditional cash transfers instead of unconditional ones; creating targeted employment programs; enacting health reforms like low-cost insurance; and establishing an effective institutional framework for implementing social programs. Overall, the document argues that China's approach to poverty reduction serves as a good model for Pakistan to follow.

The document discusses brain drain from Pakistan. It defines brain drain as the emigration of skilled professionals from one country to another for better opportunities. Several factors contribute to brain drain from Pakistan, including lack of opportunities, facilities, and political instability. This results in negative effects like loss of human capital and foreign exchange spent on education. Some measures discussed to address brain drain include programs to encourage expatriate professionals to return and transfer knowledge, as well as delaying emigration of certain professionals. However, the conclusion notes that while leaders discuss the issue, meaningful steps have not been taken to reverse brain drain.
This document discusses brain drain, defined as the emigration of trained and educated individuals to other countries that offer better opportunities. It outlines push factors that encourage emigration from Bangladesh like lower wages, lack of research opportunities, and political instability. Each year around 4000 highly skilled Bangladeshis emigrate and do not return, negatively impacting the country. Suggested solutions include improving education, creating research opportunities, offering competitive salaries, and ensuring political stability to reduce brain drain from Bangladesh.
Brain drain refers to the migration of highly skilled professionals from developing to developed countries in search of better opportunities. This phenomenon sees large numbers of intellectuals leaving their native lands for countries like the United States, Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom. Causes of brain drain include inadequate salaries and lack of opportunities in home countries as well as desires for further education and better living conditions. Sri Lanka has experienced significant brain drain since the 1960s as skilled workers migrate abroad, shortaging fields and hurting development; however, the end of the ethnic war has raised hopes some migrant professionals may return to help with economic recovery.
The document discusses poverty in Pakistan. It defines poverty and international poverty lines. It then provides statistics on poverty levels in Pakistan over time. Poverty in Pakistan currently affects 58.7 million people or about 1/3 of the population. The major causes of poverty in Pakistan are discussed as government policies, corruption, lack of education, unemployment, inflation, smuggling, and law and order issues. Solutions proposed to address poverty include ensuring equality, basic needs, land redistribution, improved government policies, job creation, spending transparency, debt cancellation, and collecting zakat.
Brain drain refers to the emigration of skilled professionals from developing countries to developed nations. Push factors for brain drain include poor living conditions, unemployment, and lower wages in the home country, while pull factors are better opportunities, higher wages, and improved standards of living abroad. India in particular faces problems from brain drain such as a shortage of skilled workers and increased wages. However, some trained individuals return to their home countries through reverse brain drain, which can have economic benefits through skills and investment.
Poverty is a major issue in Pakistan, with over 58 million people living below the poverty line. The highest rates are in Baluchistan where 16% of the population is in poverty, followed by 33% in Sindh and 32% in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Key drivers of poverty include government policies, corruption, smuggling, overpopulation, unemployment, lack of education, inflation, and lack of foreign investment. Some efforts to reduce poverty include increasing access to basic needs like food and healthcare, raising personal incomes, and government programs that provide income support, relief packages, and financial services.
this presentation depicts the real image of poverty and it causes as well as it focuses on the effects of poverty.

Brain drain refers to the emigration of skilled professionals and highly educated people from developing countries to developed nations. This poses political, economic, and psycho-social problems for the originating countries. Politically, they lose their best talent. Economically, developing nations disproportionately lose skilled people and see no benefit, while developed nations gain. Psycho-socially, factors like desire for better living standards and work opportunities drive emigration. Suggested solutions include improving conditions in developing countries to reduce push factors driving emigration and retain skilled talent.
Pakistan Ideology and its Basis - Pakistan StudiesFaHaD .H. NooR
This document discusses the ideology of Pakistan. It defines ideology as a set of beliefs, values and ideals that bind a group or nation together. The ideology of Pakistan took shape through an evolutionary process led by Allama Iqbal, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, and the Constituent Assembly. The Muslims of the subcontinent demanded a separate homeland due to historical, political, religious and cultural differences from Hindus that made their future in a Hindu-dominated India unsafe. The foundations of Pakistan's ideology are Islam, the two-nation theory, an Islamic democratic system, economic justice, and Islamic social patterns.
Economic challenges face by Pakistan"s economy and their solutions (1)Muhammad Zubair
Pakistan's economy faces several challenges including a large debt burden requiring significant debt servicing payments, balance of payments deficits as imports exceed exports, low domestic savings rates, government spending exceeding revenues, a shrinking share of world trade, chronic energy shortages exacerbated by high load shedding, and damage from frequent natural disasters. Addressing these economic issues will be important for Pakistan to achieve greater economic stability and growth.
This document outlines the course objectives and topics for a course on Pakistan's economic issues. The course aims to provide students with an understanding of key sectors of Pakistan's economy including agriculture, industry, financial and social sectors as well as current policies. Topics to be covered include the development of Pakistan's economy over the past 50 years, the agriculture, manufacturing and banking sectors, fiscal and monetary policy, the budget, fiscal deficit, and social issues.

Challenges And Opportunities Of Globalisationloveleenchawla
Globalization: challenges and opportunities
Abstract:
Globalization is a multifaceted phenomenon. The paper identify some of the
Challenges it poses, as well as some of the opportunities it offers. Attention is focused on three major aspects of globalization namely economic, cultural, and political.
During 1990 to 2003, the volume of world trade has increased and the higher and middle-income countries managed to increase their share in world trade mainly due to the opening up of economies because of globalization. The middle-income countries had invited more Foreign Direct Investment during the period and the per capita GDP of the low-income countries was marginally increased. This resulted into the economic inequality, which widened between different income groups. In other words globalization has been confined to developed countries and developing countries were able to participate in the process.
However, globalization should not be accused for loosing share of the low-income countries. These countries suffered from internal problems like rapid rise in population, infrastructure bottlenecks, weak financial markets and so on.
Globalization and its benefits required a conducive environment to ensure higher returns and larger markets for foreign investors. To get a share of global capital, technology and output, developing countries had to upgrade their social and economic institutions through administrative, legislative and legal reforms.
Globalization merely provides opportunities to flourish. Globalization is not a tool to produce equality of outcome but it produces equality of opportunity for those with right mindset. Therefore developing countries require focusing on economic restructuring, developing market-supporting institutions and creating efficient regulatory mechanisms.
The low-income countries cannot survive at their own; they require international assistance and a support mechanism so as to facilitate their participation in the process of globalization. The challenge of the hour is to make globalization work towards global prosperity through disaggregate development. The critically necessity in this context are the collective and cooperative actions which should be realized by all countries of the world and particularly the developed ones.
Inequality, Economic Growth and Developmenttutor2u
The document discusses inequality, economic growth, and development. It covers several topics: Kuznets and income inequality; real income growth in the USA and top income shares; a global perspective on inequality between 1988-2008 showing rising incomes for the middle class in China and India. It also discusses the root causes of inequality like less progressive tax systems and market failures in education and housing. Strategies to reduce inequality include investing in education, pursuing inclusive pro-poor growth policies, and microfinance. Overall, the document examines inequality from various economic perspectives and proposes approaches to promote shared prosperity across populations.
This document discusses migration and population growth in Pakistan. It defines types of migration as in-migration, out-migration, and internal migration. It identifies factors pushing people from rural to urban areas, such as overpopulation and unemployment, and pulling them to cities, like better jobs and services. Rapid urbanization is straining infrastructure and increasing problems like pollution, crime, and unsustainable population growth that can harm Pakistan's economy and environment if not addressed through education, family planning, and balancing resources and population.
This document discusses brain drain, which refers to the emigration of trained professionals and skilled individuals from their home country to other nations. It provides background on the history and characteristics of brain drain, as well as the push and pull factors that contribute to it. Specific examples of brain drain are examined, such as the emigration of skilled workers and students from India. The concepts of brain gain and reverse brain drain, where skilled individuals return to their home country, are also introduced. Overall causes and impacts of brain drain are assessed.
The document discusses Pakistan's economic structure, including its primary, secondary, and services sectors. It outlines problems facing Pakistan's industrial sector such as a lack of capital, limited markets, and inadequate infrastructure. Solutions proposed include developing a clear industrial strategy, providing financing and infrastructure, expanding technical education, and offering fiscal incentives. The document concludes with an economic review of Pakistan.
The document provides an overview of Pakistan's economy, highlighting both its historical growth and recent challenges. It notes that while the economy has grown at an average of 5% annually over the past 65 years, growth slowed significantly in the last five years to around 3% due to issues like rising energy costs, political instability, and fiscal mismanagement. Key economic indicators like investment, exports, GDP growth, and foreign investment have all weakened substantially compared to earlier periods. Strong remedial action is needed to address structural problems and put the economy back on a sustainable growth path.
Brain drain is the emigration of skilled professionals from Pakistan to other countries. The document discusses the definition, statistics, causes, and effects of brain drain in Pakistan. It states that over 2.7 million Pakistanis have pursued careers abroad in recent years, with professionals and technical workers leaving in large numbers. This brain drain slows academic progress and infrastructure development in Pakistan. However, organizations like the Higher Education Commission are implementing measures to encourage skilled expatriates to return and help develop Pakistan. The conclusion calls for solutions to brain drain to strengthen Pakistan.
Poverty in Pakistan affects about 24% of the population and is higher in rural areas. There are different types of poverty including absolute poverty, relative poverty, situational poverty, and generational poverty. Poverty is caused by factors like failed government policies, corruption, unemployment, lack of investment, and environmental issues. Measures to reduce poverty include controlling inflation, improving agriculture and industry, providing more education funds, and increasing capital formation. Unemployment is also a major problem leading to financial issues and increased burden of debt. Overpopulation puts pressure on resources and contributes to rising poverty levels.
Brain drain refers to the emigration of skilled professionals from one country to another. Pakistan has experienced significant brain drain over several decades due to factors such as lack of opportunities, poor work conditions, and higher pay abroad. While remittances sent back provide some economic benefits, brain drain has negatively impacted Pakistan through loss of human capital and healthcare professionals. Potential measures to reduce brain drain include improving research funding, increasing salaries, and initiatives to encourage expatriate professionals to return.

The document also briefly discusses brain gain and some solutions to reduce brain drain in Pakistan.
This document discusses reverse brain drain, which refers to skilled individuals migrating back to their less developed home countries from more developed countries. It provides background on traditional brain drain where people moved from rural to urban areas or developing to developed nations. The main characteristics of brain drain are large flows of skilled workers like engineers and medical professionals moving from a small number of developing countries. Push factors driving emigration include under employment and low wages in home countries, while pull factors attracting immigrants include better pay and opportunities abroad. The document contrasts brain drain with brain gain when talented individuals enter a country. It argues that if return migration is cyclical and skills gained overseas are applied at home, it may not be problematic, but individuals should also consider contributing
Brain drain refers to the emigration of trained and talented individuals to other countries that offer better opportunities. It began in the 1960s as scientists and intellectuals left post-war Europe for opportunities in North America. Push factors driving emigration include lack of opportunities, low pay, and political instability, while pull factors are better pay, career growth, and cultural attractions abroad. Bangladesh experiences significant brain drain in the medical, teaching, engineering, and agricultural sectors. While remittances provide funds, brain drain also has negative effects like skills shortages and underdevelopment. Solutions include improving education, employment, and living conditions to stem the outflow of human capital.
This document discusses brain drain, which is the emigration of trained and talented individuals from developing countries to developed ones. It outlines the main characteristics of brain drain, including large flows of skilled workers like engineers and scientists from a small number of developing countries to developed countries. The document then covers the history of brain drain, reasons for it like lack of opportunities in home countries and better pay abroad, and case studies of brain drain from countries like India to the United States. Both positive and negative effects of brain drain are presented, with negatives including loss of human capital and investment for home countries.
Brain drain occurs when trained professionals emigrate from their home country to other countries due to lack of opportunities. This causes a loss of skilled human capital. Brain gain is the opposite, where a country experiences large-scale immigration of skilled individuals. To reduce brain drain and achieve brain gain, countries should improve education, increase wages, ensure political stability, and provide better working conditions and facilities to attract and retain skilled professionals.
Brain drain refers to the emigration of skilled professionals and highly educated individuals from their home country to opportunities abroad. It can occur when students educated abroad do not return home or when educated locals emigrate for better pay or opportunities. While it poses problems for developing countries that invest in education, it can also represent a brain gain for destination countries. Globalization has increased mobility such that skills are transferable worldwide, influencing more individuals' decisions to emigrate long-term. Some argue brain drain can be addressed by improving research support and independence in home countries to attract expatriates to return.
Brain Drain refers to the emigration of skilled and educated individuals from a country, causing a loss of human capital. In Morocco, common causes of brain drain include poor work conditions, low salaries, lack of facilities for researchers, and limited opportunities. Effects include slower investment in Morocco as people take their investments abroad, and reduced economic development and growth. Solutions proposed include improving work conditions, salaries, and research facilities, as well as programs to maintain connections with emigrants and recruit them back to share their expertise.
This document provides an overview of brain drain, including its history, causes, impact in India, potential solutions, and advantages/disadvantages. It notes that the term originated in the 1960s to describe British scientists and intellectuals who emigrated to the US. Key push factors driving emigration include lack of opportunities and stability, while pull factors involve better pay, facilities, and living standards abroad. India has been significantly impacted by losing over 950,000 immigrant scientists/engineers since 2003. Potential solutions center on improving incentives for skilled workers to remain in India.
Brain drain refers to the emigration of skilled professionals and highly educated individuals from their home country to another country that offers better opportunities. It can negatively impact the country losing these individuals through a shortage of skilled labor and increased wages. While individuals benefit through higher pay abroad, brain drain slows the development of science and technology in the drained country. Solutions aim to convert brain drain into brain circulation by fostering collaboration between expatriates and their home country and creating opportunities to contribute skills and knowledge.
Brain drain refers to the emigration of skilled workers from developing countries to developed countries. By 2000, there were 180 million migrants worldwide, with skilled migrants coming primarily from Asia, Africa, and Latin America to OECD countries. Causes of brain drain include increased educational attainment creating more opportunities abroad, selective immigration policies in developed countries, and lack of opportunities in source countries. While brain drain provides some benefits like remittances, it also results in negative impacts such as reduced growth and human capital in source countries. Policies aimed at balancing flows include increasing retention through education and economic development investments in source countries.
This document discusses brain drain in India. It defines brain drain as the movement of highly skilled or educated individuals from their home country to developed nations with better opportunities. The document then discusses the history of the term brain drain and how it has affected India. It identifies several factors that contribute to brain drain in India, such as under employment, lack of facilities for research, and favorable migration policies in other countries. The document also outlines the major problems brain drain poses for India.
Bangladesh is facing the problem of brain drain as highly skilled and educated individuals are emigrating from the country. This is causing a loss of intellectual capital and hindering Bangladesh's economic development. It also decreases research and development activities and limits technological advancements. While brain drain benefits other countries that receive skilled immigrants, possible solutions for Bangladesh include improving jobs and salaries, addressing political issues to regain trust, investing in education and research, and creating a better work environment to retain talented workers.
This document discusses India's history of scientific research and innovation from ancient times through the modern era. It then addresses the issues of brain drain and brain gain. To combat brain drain, factors pushing skilled workers to leave India must be addressed through improving research funding and quality, education system quality, work conditions and opportunities. Brain gain initiatives aim to attract foreign-trained Indians back through competitive salaries, incentives and improving the overall research environment. Views expressed support budget increases for scientific research and encouragement, improving the country overall to reduce the need to seek opportunities abroad, and engaging students early in research.
This document discusses India's history of scientific research and innovation from ancient times through the modern era. It then addresses the issues of brain drain and brain gain. To combat brain drain, factors pushing and pulling skilled workers abroad are analyzed, and improvements to the education system, research funding, and work opportunities in India are suggested to reverse brain drain and create brain gain. Views from professors emphasize the need to budget more for scientific research and encourage students early on to participate in projects to strengthen India's research and innovation capacity.
Diversity training grants supported by the NIH are multi-million dollar grants that seek to increase the
numbers of underrepresented minorities in the biomedical sciences. Specifically, these training grants aim
to augment the presence of certain groups— namely minorities (such as African-Americans, American
Indians, Alaska Natives, Hispanic/Latino Americans and U.S. Pacific Islanders) as well as individuals with
disabilities in the biomedical work force.
Leading a team of qualified individuals from various backgrounds and perspectives has proven to be an
effective strategy towards the resolution of complex scientific dilemmas. These grants represent a great
opportunity to make a difference and the NIH recognizes this. In 2011 alone over 39 million dollars were
awarded across 160 approved R25 grant applications. And this is just one of the many diversity-driven
grants currently available.
During this diversity-spirited Webinar, your expert presenter will cover the full range of what these training
grants entail. Special attention will be given to the R25 and T34 grants, but others will be discussed as well.
Walk away with a clear understanding of their mechanism and focus, the basic structure of these grants as
well as their collaborative nature.
Brain drain refers to the emigration of skilled professionals from developing to developed countries. Historically, brain drains occurred from rural to urban areas and from Europe to North America. Developing countries experience outflows of individuals like engineers, medical professionals, and scientists to developed countries due to factors like higher wages, better opportunities, and advanced research facilities in developed nations. This mass emigration of human capital represents a loss of resources for developing countries.
A presentation from Smartmove4 Visas on the global migration trends for 2013. It covers top sources, destination and migration corridors. It also provides information on the types of migration and migration criteria for investors, students and general visitors.
The document provides information about an organization called Talent Scouts, which aims to address brain drain in Pakistan. It discusses brain drain, defining it as the emigration of skilled workers from less developed to more developed countries. It then outlines the history of brain drain, its terminology, the magnitude of brain drain specifically in Pakistan, its causes, and measures to address it. Talent Scouts' approach involves identifying talent within Pakistan and connecting skilled workers with opportunities in the country to retain human capital.
- Major push factors for intellectual brain drain from Pakistan included lack of job opportunities, low salaries, poor working conditions, lack of research facilities, and political instability. Many highly educated Pakistanis moved abroad for better professional and economic prospects.
- Between 1995-2004, the number of highly-qualified migrants from Pakistan increased from 1,292 to 3,291 according to Pakistani government data. Skilled migration to OECD countries was also significant, with over 85,000 skilled Pakistani workers migrating during this period.
- While brain drain has costs for Pakistan, some research also points to potential benefits through remittances sent home and through circulation of skilled workers returning with new expertise. However, brain drain continues to be a

The Building Blocks of QuestDB, a Time Series Databasejavier ramirez
Talk Delivered at Valencia Codes Meetup 2024-06.
Traditionally, databases have treated timestamps just as another data type. However, when performing real-time analytics, timestamps should be first class citizens and we need rich time semantics to get the most out of our data. We also need to deal with ever growing datasets while keeping performant, which is as fun as it sounds.
It is no wonder time-series databases are now more popular than ever before. Join me in this session to learn about the internal architecture and building blocks of QuestDB, an open source time-series database designed for speed. We will also review a history of some of the changes we have gone over the past two years to deal with late and unordered data, non-blocking writes, read-replicas, or faster batch ingestion.

State of Artificial intelligence Report 2023kuntobimo2016
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a multidisciplinary field of science and engineering whose goal is to create intelligent machines.
We believe that AI will be a force multiplier on technological progress in our increasingly digital, data-driven world. This is because everything around us today, ranging from culture to consumer products, is a product of intelligence.
The State of AI Report is now in its sixth year. Consider this report as a compilation of the most interesting things we’ve seen with a goal of triggering an informed conversation about the state of AI and its implication for the future.
We consider the following key dimensions in our report:
Research: Technology breakthroughs and their capabilities.
Industry: Areas of commercial application for AI and its business impact.
Politics: Regulation of AI, its economic implications and the evolving geopolitics of AI.
Safety: Identifying and mitigating catastrophic risks that highly-capable future AI systems could pose to us.
Predictions: What we believe will happen in the next 12 months and a 2022 performance review to keep us honest.
Global Situational Awareness of A.I. and where its headedvikram sood
You can see the future first in San Francisco.
Over the past year, the talk of the town has shifted from $10 billion compute clusters to $100 billion clusters to trillion-dollar clusters. Every six months another zero is added to the boardroom plans. Behind the scenes, there’s a fierce scramble to secure every power contract still available for the rest of the decade, every voltage transformer that can possibly be procured. American big business is gearing up to pour trillions of dollars into a long-unseen mobilization of American industrial might. By the end of the decade, American electricity production will have grown tens of percent; from the shale fields of Pennsylvania to the solar farms of Nevada, hundreds of millions of GPUs will hum.
The AGI race has begun. We are building machines that can think and reason. By 2025/26, these machines will outpace college graduates. By the end of the decade, they will be smarter than you or I; we will have superintelligence, in the true sense of the word. Along the way, national security forces not seen in half a century will be un-leashed, and before long, The Project will be on. If we’re lucky, we’ll be in an all-out race with the CCP; if we’re unlucky, an all-out war.
Everyone is now talking about AI, but few have the faintest glimmer of what is about to hit them. Nvidia analysts still think 2024 might be close to the peak. Mainstream pundits are stuck on the wilful blindness of “it’s just predicting the next word”. They see only hype and business-as-usual; at most they entertain another internet-scale technological change.
Before long, the world will wake up. But right now, there are perhaps a few hundred people, most of them in San Francisco and the AI labs, that have situational awareness. Through whatever peculiar forces of fate, I have found myself amongst them. A few years ago, these people were derided as crazy—but they trusted the trendlines, which allowed them to correctly predict the AI advances of the past few years. Whether these people are also right about the next few years remains to be seen. But these are very smart people—the smartest people I have ever met—and they are the ones building this technology. Perhaps they will be an odd footnote in history, or perhaps they will go down in history like Szilard and Oppenheimer and Teller. If they are seeing the future even close to correctly, we are in for a wild ride.
Let me tell you what we see.
