BERLIN, March 20 (Reuters) - Britain is ready to help Poland fill its air defense gaps caused by Warsaw sending some of its MiG-29 fighter jets to Ukraine but Poland has not yet made such requests, British Armed Forces Minister James Heappey was quoted as saying on Monday.

HSINCHU, Taiwan, Oct 19 (Reuters) - Rising Taiwan-China and U.S.-China tensions have brought "more serious" challenges for the semiconductor industry, the chairman of Taiwanese chipmaker TSMC said on Wednesday.

Taiwan is a major producer of chips used in everything from cars, smartphones to data centres and fighter jets, while Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd (TSMC) is the world's largest contract chipmaker and Asia's most valuable listed firm.

This was up from 44.9% the prior year. HSBC - already one of the most unequal banks in Britain in terms of gender pay - reported a wider mean average gap for the year, disclosing women were paid 45.2% less than men.

Poland last week said it would send Ukraine four MiG-29 fighter jets in coming days, making it the first of Kyiv's allies to provide such aircraft and possibly creating a need to ramp up Poland's air defense equipment.

Boston College leads the all-time series 14-12-2 (9-6 since joining the ACC) although Wake Forest captured the past two meetings.

Last season, the Demon Deacons won the Atlantic Division title with a 41-10 win in the regular-season finale in Chestnut Hill, Mass.

"Organisations think and say they're doing the right thing to advance gender equality in the workplace - but when it comes to taking action ... they are failing to deliver," said Ann Francke, CEO of the Chartered Management Institute.

Mike Cannon-Brookes or any other shareholder of AGL," the statements read "I am not required or expected, nor have I given any promise or commitment of any kind, verbal or in writing, to act in accordance with any instruction or public statement by Gali, Grok Ventures or Mr.

Experts say that while the gender pay gap data is a blunt tool for measuring disparities - as it does not reflect gaps at the same level of seniority, for example - it can capture broad inequities and affect change.

We did both of those things." and were able to run the football," Clawson said.

"That's the key to our offense -- to be balanced and be able to run it against looks at the numbers that run it. When you get outnumbered, you've got to be able to throw it efficiently. "I thought we were really efficient on offense ...

While Liu did not make direct mention of it, the sweeping set of export controls announced by the United States this month, aimed at slowing China's progress in advanced chip manufacturing, is expected to also impact Taiwanese chipmakers.

Kerry Schott AO, John Carl Pollaers OAM, Christine Francis Holman and Mark William Grimsey Twidell released near-identical statements on Wednesday saying they were independent from Mr Cannon-Brookes and his business entities.

LONDON, April 4 (Reuters) - HSBC, Goldman Sachs , Morgan Stanley and Standard Chartered reported a widening in the gap between what they paid women and men in 2022, according to data reviewed by Reuters.

In an October 7 letter to shareholders, AGL chairwoman Patricia McKenzie said the board was recommending a vote in favour of Mr Twidell, a former Tesla Energy director, but against the other three candidates nominated by Cannon-Brookes.

"While we understand that Grok's nominations were made in what it believes are the best interests of your company, given the depth of energy market and transition experience already represented on the renewed AGL Board, the Board is of the view that appointing all four of the Grok candidates would not add to the overall effectiveness of the Board," Ms McKenzie wrote.

TSMC's dominance in making some of the world's most advanced chips for high-end customers such as Apple Inc and Qualcomm Inc has shielded it in recent quarters from the downturn flagged by chipmakers including Micron Technology Inc.

Where pay gaps were further broken down by ethnicity, they showed the largest pay disparities were between Black and white employees.

The widest gap was Deutsche Bank's at 38.4%, though this narrowed slightly on the prior year.

Liu said he looked forward to Taiwan's industry, government and academia developing "more concrete, constructive measures" on industrial policies related to innovation, research, talent education and retention "to maintain Taiwan's most critical semiconductor industry advantages".

While the chips sector is already bracing for waning demand as red-hot inflation squeezes spending, Taiwan faces a tougher situation - sandwiched between its largest export market China and its main international backer and arms supplier, the United States - especially as Beijing steps up military pressure to force Taipei to accept Chinese sovereignty claims.

"In some ways I felt like the last three weeks, we played really good football. And when you're playing well, you don't necessarily want a break." "I don't know if it was a good time or not (for a bye week)," Wake Forest coach Dave Clawson said.
