Manav Shiv Patnaik - Barclays Bank PLC, Research Division - Director & Lead Research AnalystJerre, maybe I'd just like to start this conversation off with you. You've done a lot of M&A in your life in various different companies and various different sizes. And there's been a lot more activity broadly in the information services space. Maybe just some high-level thoughts from you on do you think this is -- is there something new going on in the industry or it just happens that COVID maybe accelerated the need to do these things? Just any thoughts there would help.
