This Employment Agreement (this "Agreement") is made and entered into as of December 20, 2012 (the "Effective Date") by and between Midland States Bank, an Illinois banking corporation (the "Employer") and Jeffrey Mefford (the "Executive").
A. The Employer is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Midland States Bancorp, Inc., (the "Company").
B. Executive is currently employed as Senior Vice President Community Banking of the Employer pursuant to the terms and conditions of that certain employment agreement by and between the parties dated December 1, 2010 (the "Prior Agreement").
C. The Company is considering various strategic initiatives, one of which may be an initial public offering (an "IPO") of its common stock pursuant to which the Company would become a publicly-traded corporation.
D. In anticipation of the possibility of an IP, or other strategic initiatives, the parties desire to reconsider, amend and restate the terms and conditions of employment applicable to Executive's employment with the Employer.
Now, therefore, in consideration of the premises and of the covenants and agreements hereinafter contained, it is covenanted and agreed by and between the parties hereto as follows:
1. Prior Agreement. As of the Effective Date, the Agreement shall supersede and replace any and all prior agreements respecting Executive's employment by, or service to, the Employer or the Company as may from time to time have been made by and between the parties, whether or not in writing, including but not limited to the Prior Agreement; provided, however, that any vested benefits due to Executive pursuant to any pension plan, welfare benefit plan or any other employee benefit plan shall continue to be available to Executive subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable plan as may be in effect from time to time.
2. Employment Period. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Employer hereby agrees to continue to employ Executive during the Employment Period and Executive hereby agrees to continue to remain in the employ of the Employer and to provide services during the Employment Period in accordance with this Agreement. The "Employment Period" shall be the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending two (2) years thereafter, unless sooner terminated as provided herein. As of the first anniversary of the Effective Date, and each anniversary thereafter (each an "Extension Date"), the Employment Period shall automatically be extended for one (1) additional year, unless either the Employer or the Executive notifies the other party, by written notice delivered no later than 90 days prior to such Extension Date, that the "Employment Period" shall not be extended for an additional year. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if a Change of Control occurs during
the Employment Period, this Agreement shall remain in effect for the two (2) year period following the Change of Control and shall then terminate.
3. Duties. Executive agrees that during the Employment Period, Executive will devote his/her full business time, energies and talents to serving as the Senior Vice President Community Banking of the Employer, at the direction of the Chief Executive Officer of the Employwer (the "CEO"). Executive shall have such duties and responsibilities as may be assigned to Executive from time to time by the CEO, which duties and responsibilities shall be commensurate with Executive's position, shall perform all duties assigned to Executive faithfully and efficiently, subject to the direction of the CEO, and shall have such authorities and powers as are inherent to the undertakings applicable to Executive's position and necessary to carry out the responsibilities and duties required of Executive hereunder. Executive will perform the duties required by this Agreement at the Company's principal place of business unless the nature of such duties requires otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the Employment Period, Executive may devote reasonable time to activities other than those required under this Agreement, including activities of a charitable, educational, religious or similar nature (including professional associations) to the extent such activities do not, in the reasonable judgment of the CEO, inhibit, prohibit, interfere with or conflict with Executive's duties under this Agreement or conflict in any material way with the business of the Employer and its Affiliates; provided, however, that Executive shall not serve on the board of directors of any business (other than the Employer or its Affiliates) or hold any other position with any business without receiving the prior written consent of the CEO.
4. Compensation and Benefits. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during the Employment Period, while Executive is employed by the Employer, the Employer shall compensate Executive for Executive's services as follows for periods following the Effective Date:

(a) Minimum Payments. If the Termination Date occurs during the Employment Period for any reason, Executive shall be entitled to the Minimum Payments, in addition to any payments or benefits to which Executive may be entitled under the following provisions of this Section 6 (other than this Section 6(a)) or the express terms of any employee benefit plan or as required by law. Any payments to be made to Executive pursuant to this Section 6(a) shall be made within thirty (30) days after the Termination Date; provided that any benefits,
incentives or awards payable as described in Section 6(f) shall be made in accordance with the provisions of the applicable plan, program or arrangement. Except as may be otherwise expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement or as otherwise provided by law, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as requiring Executive to be treated as employed by the Employer following the Termination Date for purposes of any employee benefit plan or arrangement in which Executive may participate at such time.
(b) Termination for Cause, Death, Disability, Voluntary Resignation and Non-Renewal.
(i) Upon a determination of a Termination for Cause by the Employer, Executive's death or Disability, or Executive's voluntary resignation other than for Good Reason, Executive's employment shall immediately terminate.
(ii) If the Termination Date occurs during the Employment Period and is a result of a Termination for Cause, death, Disability, voluntary resignation other than for Good Reason or if this Agreement expires due to notice of non-renewal by either party as provided under Section 2 or at the end of a Covered Period, then, other than the Minimum Payments, Executive shall have no right to payments or benefits under this Agreement (and the Employer shall have no obligation to make any such payments or provide any such benefits) for periods after the Termination Date.
(c) Termination Other than for Cause or Termination for Good Reason. If Executive's employment by the Employer, or any Affiliate or successor of the Employer, shall be subject to a Termination other than during a Covered Period, then, in addition to the Minimum Payments, the Employer shall provide Executive the following benefits:
(i) Commencing on the Termination Date, Executive shall receive the applicable Severance Amount (less any amount described in subparagraph (ii) below) paid in 12 substantially equal monthly installments, with each successive payment being due on the monthly anniversary of the Termination Date.
(ii) To the extent any portion of the applicable Severance Amount exceeds the "safe harbor" amount described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii)(A), Executive shall receive such portion of the applicable Severance Amount that exceeds the "safe harbor" amount in a single lump sum payment payable within five (5) days after Executive's Termination Date.
(iii) Executive (and dependents, as may be applicable) shall be entitled to the medical benefits provided in Section 6(e) below.
(d) Termination Upon a Change of Control. If Executive's employment by the Employer, or any Affiliate or successor of the Employer, shall be subject to a Termination within a Covered Period, then, in addition to Minimum Payments, the Employer shall provide Executive the following benefits:
(i) Within five (5) days after Executive's Termination Date, the Employer shall pay Executive a lump sum payment in an amount equal to the Severance Amount.
(ii) Executive (and her dependents, as may be applicable) shall be entitled to the medical benefits provided in Section 6(e) below.
(iii) Executive shall be entitled to receive a Pro Rata Bonus, when Incentive Bonuses are paid to other senior management of Employer, consistent with Section 4(b) of this Agreement.
(e) Medical, Dental and Life Insurance Benefits. If Executive's employment by the Employer or any Affiliate or successor of the Employer shall be subject to a Termination as provided in subsections (c) or (d) above within the Employment Period, then to the extent that Executive or any of Executive's dependents may be covered under the terms of any medical and dental plans of the Employer (or any Affiliate) for active employees immediately prior to the termination, then, for as long as Executive is eligible for and elects coverage under the health care continuation rules of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 ("COBRA"), the Employer will provide Executive and those dependents with equivalent coverage, with Executive required to pay the same amount as Executive would pay if Executive continued in employment with the Employer or an Affiliate during such period, but in no event more than twelve (12) months following termination, The coverage may be procured directly by the Employer (or any Affiliate, if appropriate) apart from, and outside of the terms of the plans themselves; provided that Executive and Executive's dependents comply with all of the conditions of the medical or dental plans, with the cost to the Employer not to exceed the cost for continued COBRA coverage. In the event Executive or any of Executive's dependents become eligible for coverage under the terms of any other medical and/or dental plan of a subsequent employer which plan benefits are comparable to Employer (or any Affiliate) plan benefits, coverage under Employer (or any Affiliate) plans will cease for the eligible Executive and/or dependent. Executive and Executive's dependents must notify the Employer (or any Affiliate) of any subsequent employment and provide information regarding medical and/or dental coverage available. In the event the Employer (or any Affiliate) discovers that Executive and/or dependent has become employed and not provided the above notification, all payments and benefits under this subsection (e) will cease.
(f) Other Benefits. Executive's rights following a Termination with respect to any benefits, incentives or awards provided to Executive pursuant to the terms and conditions of any plan, program or arrangement sponsored or maintained by the Employer, whether tax-qualified or not, which are not specifically addressed herein, shall be subject to the terms and conditions of such plan, program or arrangement and this Agreement shall have no effect upon such terms and conditions except as specifically provided herein.
7. Release. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no payments or benefits (including without limitation, vesting of any and all stock options, shares of restricted stock, restricted stock units and other unvested incentive awards) payable to Executive under Section 6(c), 6(d) or 6(e) (except for payments and benefits described in Section 6(a)) shall be paid or provided to Executive unless he/she first executes (without subsequent revocation) and delivers to the Employer a Release. To the extent any of the payments and/or benefits due under Section 6(c), 6(d) or 6(e) are determined to be subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), the Release must be executed and become irrevocable on or before the 60th day following the Termination Date. Provided that an executed, irrevocable
Release has been delivered on or before the 60th day following the Termination Date, any payments and benefits that are determined to be subject to Section 409A of the Code shall become payable, or shall otherwise commence, as of the 60th day following the Termination Date. If an executed, irrevocable Release is not delivered on or before the 60th day following the Termination Date, Executive shall forever forfeit any and all rights to any payment or benefit (to the extent such payment or benefit is determined to be subject to Section 409A of the Code) under Section 6(c), 6(d) or 6(e) or any payment or benefit in lieu thereof.
8. Restrictive Covenants.
(a) Confidential Information. Executive acknowledges that, during the course of her employment with the Employer, Executive may produce and have access to confidential and/or proprietary non‑public information concerning the Employer and its Affiliates, including marketing materials, financial and other information concerning customers and prospective customers, customer lists, records, data, trade secrets, proprietary business information, pricing and profitability information and policies, strategic planning, commitments, plans, procedures, litigation, pending litigation and other information not generally available to the public (collectively, "Confidential Information"). Executive agrees not to directly or indirectly use, disclose, copy or make lists of Confidential Information for the benefit of anyone other than the Employer, either during or after her employment with the Employer, except to the extent that such information is or thereafter becomes lawfully available from public sources, or such disclosure is authorized in writing by the Employer, required by law or any competent administrative agency or judicial authority, or otherwise as reasonably necessary or appropriate in connection with performance by Executive of her duties hereunder. Executive agrees that, if she receives a subpoena or other court order or is otherwise required by law to provide information to a governmental authority or other person concerning the activities of the Employer or any of its Affiliates, or her activities in connection with the business of the Employer or any of its Affiliates, Executive will immediately notify the Employer of such subpoena, court order or other requirement and deliver forthwith to the Employer a copy thereof and any attachments and non‑privileged correspondence related thereto. Executive shall take reasonable precautions to protect against the inadvertent disclosure of Confidential Information. Executive agrees to abide by the Employer's reasonable policies, as in effect from time to time, respecting avoidance of interests conflicting with those of the Employer and its Affiliates. In this regard, Executive shall not directly or indirectly render services to any person or entity where Executive's service would involve the use or disclosure of Confidential Information. Executive agrees not to use any Confidential Information to guide her in searching publications or other publicly available information, selecting a series of items of knowledge from unconnected sources and fitting them together to claim that he/she did not violate any agreements set forth in this Agreement.
(b) Documents and Property. All records, files, documents and other materials or copies thereof relating to the business of the Employer and its Affiliates, which Executive shall prepare, receive, or use, shall be and remain the sole property of the Employer and, other than in connection with performance by Executive of his duties hereunder, shall not be removed from the premises of the Employer or any of its Affiliates without the Employer's prior written consent, and shall be promptly returned to the Employer upon Executive's termination of employment together with all copies (including copies or recordings in electronic form), abstracts,
notes or reproductions of any kind made from or about the records, files, documents or other materials.
(c) Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation. The Employer and Executive have agreed that the primary service area of the Employer's lending and deposit taking functions in which Executive will actively participate extends separately to an area that encompasses a twenty-five (25) mile radius from each banking or other office location of the Employer and its Affiliates (collectively, the "Restricted Area"). Therefore, as an essential ingredient of and in consideration of this Agreement and her employment by the Employer, Executive agrees that, during her employment with the Employer and for a period of twelve (12) months immediately following the termination of his employment (the "Restricted Period"), for whatever reason, where such termination occurs during the Employment Period or thereafter, he/she will not, except with the express prior written consent of the Employer, directly or indirectly, do any of the following (all of which are collectively referred to in this agreement as the "Restrictive Covenant"):

(ii) Executive will not, directly or indirectly, either for himself/herself, or any Financial Institution: (1) induce or attempt to induce any employee of the Employer or any of its Affiliates to leave the employ of the Employer or any of its Affiliates; (2) in any way interfere with the relationship between the Employer or any of its Affiliates and any employee of the Employer or any of its Affiliates; or (3) induce or attempt to induce any customer, supplier, licensee, or business relation of the Employer or any of its Affiliates to cease doing business with the Employer or any of its Affiliates or in any way interfere with the relationship between the Employer or any of its Affiliates and their respective customers, suppliers, licensees or business relations.
(iii) Executive will not, directly or indirectly, either for himself/herself, or any Financial Institution, solicit the business of any person or entity known to Executive to be a customer of the Employer or any of its Affiliates, where Executive, or any person reporting to Executive, had personal contact with such person or entity, with respect to products, activities or services which compete in whole or in part with the products, activities or services of the Employer or any of its Affiliates.
(iv) Executive will not, directly or indirectly, serve as the agent, broker or representative of, or otherwise assist, any person or entity in obtaining services or products from any Financial Institution within the Restricted Area, with respect to the products, activities or services which compete in whole or in part with the products, activities or services of the Employer or any of its Affiliates.
(d) Work for Hire Provisions.
(i) Exclusive Rights of the Employer in Work Product. The parties acknowledge and agree that all work performed by Executive for the Employer or any of its Affiliates shall be deemed "work for hire." The Employer shall at all times own and have exclusive right, title and interest in and to all Confidential Information and Inventions (as defined below), and the Employer shall retain the exclusive right to license, sell, transfer and otherwise use and dispose of the same. Any and all enhancements of the technology of the Employer or any of its Affiliates that are developed by Executive shall be the exclusive property of the Employer. Executive hereby assigns to the Employer any right, title and interest in and to all Inventions that he/she may have, by law or equity, without additional consideration of any kind whatsoever from the Employer or any of its Affiliates. Executive agrees to execute and deliver any instruments or documents and to do all other things (including the giving of testimony) requested by the Employer (both during and after the termination of her employment with the Employer) in order to vest more fully in the Employer or any of its Affiliates all ownership rights in the Inventions (including obtaining patent, copyright or trademark protection therefore in the United States and/or foreign countries).
(ii) Definitions and Exclusions. For purposes of this Agreement, "Inventions" means all systems, procedures, techniques, manuals, data bases, plans, lists, inventions, trade secrets, copyrights, patents, trademarks, discoveries, innovations, concepts, ideas and software conceived, compiled or developed by Executive in the course of her employment with the Employer or any of its Affiliates and/or comprised, in whole or part, of Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Inventions shall not include: (i) any inventions independently developed by Executive and not derived, in whole or part, from any Confidential Information or (ii) any invention made by Executive prior to her exposure to any Confidential Information.
(e) Remedies for Breach of Restrictive Covenants. Executive has reviewed the provisions of this Agreement with legal counsel, or has been given adequate opportunity to seek such counsel, and Executive acknowledges and expressly agrees that the covenants contained in this Section 8 are reasonable with respect to their duration, geographical area and scope. Executive further acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Section 8 are reasonable and necessary for the protection of the legitimate business interests of the Employer, that they create no undue hardships, that any violation of these restrictions would cause substantial injury to the Employer and such interests, and that such restrictions were a material inducement to the Employer to enter into this Agreement. In the event of any violation or threatened violation of these restrictions, the Employer, in addition to and not in limitation of, any other rights, remedies or damages available to the Employer under this Agreement or otherwise at law or in equity, shall be entitled to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent or restrain any such violation by Executive and any and all persons directly or indirectly acting for or with her, as the case may be.
(f) In the event of the existence of any other agreement between the parties which (i) is in effect during the Restricted Period, and (ii) which contains restrictive covenants that conflict with any of the provisions of this Section 8, then the more restrictive of such provisions from the agreements shall control for the period during which the agreements would otherwise be in effect.
9. No Set-Off; No Mitigation. Except as provided herein, the Employer's obligation to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any circumstances, including any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which the Employer may have against Executive or others. In no event shall Executive be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement, and such amounts shall not be reduced whether or not Executive obtains other employment.

The various covenants and provisions of this Agreement are intended to be severable and to constitute independent and
distinct binding obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the scope of any covenant contained in this Agreement is too broad to permit enforcement to its full extent, such covenant shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law, and Executive hereby agrees that such scope may be judicially modified accordingly.

Executive's rights to receive payments or benefits under this Agreement shall not be assignable or transferable whether by pledge, creation of a security interest or otherwise, other than a transfer by will or by the laws of descent or distribution. In the event of any attempted assignment or transfer contrary to this Section, the Employer shall have no liability to pay any amount so attempted to be assigned or transferred. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive's personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees.
15. Successors. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Employer, its successors and assigns (including, without limitation, any company into or with which the Employer may merge or consolidate). The Employer agrees that it will not affect the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets (where such transaction would constitute a Change in Control) unless either (a) the person or entity acquiring the assets, or a substantial portion of the assets, shall expressly assume by an instrument in writing all duties and obligations of the Employer under this Agreement, or (b) the Employer shall provide, through the establishment of a separate reserve, for the payment in full of all amounts which are or may reasonably be expected to become payable to Executive under this Agreement.
16. Legal Fees. In the event that either party commences arbitration or litigation to enforce or protect her and/or its rights under this Agreement, the prevailing party in any such action shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees and costs (including the costs of experts, evidence and counsel) relating to such action, in addition to all other entitled relief, including but not limited to damages and injunctive relief.
17. Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except by written agreement signed by Executive and the Employer.
18. Internal Revenue Code Section 409A.
(a) It is intended that this Agreement comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code so as not to subject Executive to the payment of additional taxes and interest under Section 409A of the Code. In furtherance of this intent, this Agreement shall be interpreted, operated and administered in a manner consistent with these intentions, and to the extent that any regulations or other guidance issued under Section 409A of the Code would result in Executive being subject to payment of additional income taxes or interest under Section 409A of the Code, the parties agree to amend this Agreement to maintain to the maximum extent practicable the
original intent of the Agreement while avoiding the application of such taxes or interest under Section 409A of the Code.
(b) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, if Executive is determined to be a Specified Employee as of the Termination Date, then, to the extent required pursuant to Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, payments due under this Agreement which are deemed to be deferred compensation shall be subject to a six (6) month delay following the Termination Date. For purposes of Section 409A of the Code, all installment payments of deferred compensation made hereunder, or pursuant to another plan or arrangement, shall be deemed to be separate payments and, accordingly, the aforementioned deferral shall only apply to separate payments which would occur during the six (6) month deferral period and all other payments shall be unaffected. All delayed payments shall be accumulated and paid in a lump-sum catch-up payment as of the first day of the seventh-month following the Termination Date (or, if earlier, the date of death of Executive) with all such delayed payments being credited with interest (compounded monthly) for this period of delay equal to the prime rate in effect on the first day of such six-month period. Any portion of the benefits hereunder that were not otherwise due to be paid during the six-month period following the Termination Date shall be paid to Executive in accordance with the payment schedule established herein.
(c) The term "Specified Employee" shall mean any person who is a "key employee" (as defined in Code Section 416(i) of the Code without regard to paragraph (5) thereof), as determined by the Employer based upon the 12-month period ending on each December 31st (such 12-month period is referred to below as the "identification period"). If Executive is determined to be a key employee under Section 416(i) of the Code (without regard to paragraph (5) thereof), he/she shall be treated as a Specified Employee for purposes of this Agreement during the 12-month period that begins on the April 1 following the close of such identification period. For purposes of determining whether Executive is a key employee under Section 416(i) of the Code, "compensation" shall mean Executive's W-2 compensation as reported by the Employer for a particular calendar year.

Q: CalledFromWrongThreadException: Android ContentObserver and Activity interface I have a ListActivity with a SMS ContentObserver. The ListView displays
SMS sent/received.
Whenever there is change in the SMS database (sent/received), the observer
calls a function within the Activity which updates the ListView.
This works ok in FROYO. But in ICS I get the following

android.view.ViewRootImpl$CalledFromWrongThreadException: Only the
  original thread that created a view hierarchy can touch its views.

Please let me know what could be the issue.
The following is the top level code.
public class MyList extends ListActivity implements OnInitListener{
    @Override
    protected void onDestroy() {
        super.onDestroy();
        MyList.this.getContentResolver()
            .unregisterContentObserver(smsObserver);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPause() {
        super.onPause();
        MyList.this.getContentResolver()
            .unregisterContentObserver(smsObserver);
    }

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.MyList );

        registerSmsEventObserver();
        updateList();
    }

    @Override
    protected void onResume() {
        super.onResume();
        registerSmsEventObserver();
    }

    updateList() {
        //fill up the listview
    }

    private void registerSmsEventObserver() {
        if (smsObserver != null)
            return;

        smsObserver = new ContentObserver(null) {
            public void onChange(boolean selfChange) {
                updateList();
            }
        };
        MyList.this.getContentResolver().registerContentObserver(
            Uri.parse("content://sms"), true, smsObserver);
    }
}

A: One does not simply call updateList(); from another thread, which is ContentObserver thread. Instead, you'd better wrap it with runOnUiThread(); like
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
    @Override
    public void run() {
        updateList();
    }
});

A: You could create the ContentObserver passing
new Handler()

This will make the onChange running on the looper of the main thread since you are creating the observer in the main thread.

EBSU Graduates 19,966
By Agnes Igwe and Okereke Wilson Ogbonnaya
Ebonyi State University (EBSU) through its Vice Chancellor, Elder Professor Chigozie Ogbu, on Thursday 12th March, 2020 bestowed degree certificates on over 8,000 graduands of the institution in Abakaliki.
Addressing newsmen during the event, the Vice Chancellor said that the programme covered five years convocation ceremonies of the institution where the total numbers of 19,966 persons ranging from diploma to PhD programmes were issued their certificates.
Prof. Ogbu said, "Today's event marks a great day in the annals of Ebonyi State University as the convocation provided fora for the institution to present its products who had undergone the rigors of university education successfully."
He said that the accredited university programmes had grown from 60 to 67 which cut across various fields as Engineering, Library Science among others as to provide the young people with the opportunities to study courses of their choices.
Professor Ogbu further disclosed that the total population of undergraduates is 16,688, and postgraduates' students 5,750 while the Institution is still working hard to increase the number of graduates.
According to him, in order to attain the height of internalization of education, the African Institute for Health Policy and Health System funded by World Health Organization was established in EBSU, an avenue through which students from other African universities could come and carry out their postgraduate studies at the institution.
"EBSU is the Coordinating University for the European Union (EU) Funded Project, it also partners with four other African Universities in another European Union Funded for Africa known as Enhancing Training and Research Mobility for Novel Crops Breeding in Africa."
"Under these two projects, since 2018, no fewer than 15 foreign students had been admitted in the programmes while our students do travel to Hokkaido University in Japan annually on exchange of the programme", he explained.
He further said that EBSU is one of the 17 Nigeria Universities participating in the Association of the Commonwealth Universities' sponsored project through the support of Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFUND), the institution had been made to provide new laboratory equipment and classroom furniture for Department of Geology and others.
He added that the management has plans to establish an Advanced Central Research Laboratory where scientific and social research facilities would be made available and he stated that henceforth, the convocation would become an annual event.
The Vice Chancellor disclosed that out of the overall number of first degree graduands, 90 made first class, 3,169 made 2nd Class Upper, 9,341 made 2nd Class Lower, 4,606 made 3rd Class while 449 made Pass.

Although popularly known as the Sherborne Cartulary, this manuscripts contains much more than just copies of charters relating to Sherborne. Of about 90 leaves, the last 50 or so contain mainly liturgical and biblical texts such as the accounts of the Passion from each of the Four Gospels, and Gospel readings and prayers to be said on major Church feast-days. The contents of the cartulary section, however, leave no doubt that the manuscript was written for Sherborne Abbey, in Dorset. This page contains the end of St. John's Gospel account of Christ's Passion, followed, with an illuminated initial 'I', by the biblical reading for Christmas Eve, taken from Matthew chapter 1, which concerns the lead-up to Christ's Nativity.

BLOG TOUR: Fill the Sky by Katherine A. Sherbrooke
Can you believe it? OCTOBER is almost OVER! I mean, where did the time GO? It seems like just yesterday, we were preparing for a month of spooky reading, and the ushering in of Autumn. Cie la vie. I guess it just goes to reinforce the idea of living in the moment and cherishing all that we have instead of lamenting all we have not. A good lesson for all, including the characters in today's featured title. Please join me in welcoming, a blog tour courtesy of Caitlin Hamilton Marketing & Publicity LLC. It stars a work of Fiction that introduces us to three beautiful characters on a path of healing, friendship, and understanding. Ladies and gents, today's book of choice is...
Fill the Sky
Katherine A. Sherbrooke
SixOneSeven Books
Biotech entrepreneur Tess Whitford has built her life around the certainty of logic and thrives on solving problems. But when one of her dearest friends exhausts the reaches of medicine while fighting cancer and grabs onto the hope that traditional healers in Ecuador might save her, Tess has to let go of everything she knows—and every instinct she has. Unable to deny Ellie a request that might be her last, Tess flies to Ecuador to help.
Together with Joline, another close college friend whose spiritual work inspired the trip, they travel to the small mountain village of Otavalo. Immersed in nature and introduced to strange ancient ceremonies, the three friends are pushed to recognize that good health is not only physical. Tess grapples with her inability to trust; Ellie struggles with a painful secret; and Joline worries about the contract she made with an aggressive businessman whose ambitions could destroy the delicate fabric of the local community.
When an ayahuasca ceremony goes awry and an unlikely betrayal suddenly threatens to unravel their decades-long friendship, these three very different women awaken to a shared realization: they each have a deep need for healing.
AMAZON | INDIEBOUND | B&N
Ellie, Joline, and Tess...friends since college, but with the connections they've forged over the years, they've become sister soul mates, if ever there were. You can't help but admire their individual strengths, and yet how they grow that much more in each other's presence. It's a good thing to, because although this was initially a trip for healing Ellie's physical ailment, it's going to turn into a life changing event for them all. Secrets are uncovered, lost desires found, destinies questioned, and old paths forged anew, all with a side of laughter, despair, heartache, and hope. It's a trip like none other, but in the end, they won't want to change a thing.
Though a work of Fiction, it reminded me of the memoir, Eat, Pray, Love, with a few more leading ladies, and a slightly more tangible need to heal. It was a moving affair from start to finish, with feels around every corner, along with the chance of spilled tears. Yes, my friends, there are beautiful moments to stop you in your tracks as well as those times that you'll feel your heart is about to split in two for oh so many reasons...word to the wise, have a tissue ready just in case. The ending of the story is more of a non-ending, but it works. If you're expecting all things tied up in a glorious red bow, think again...that's not how life works and this story reads very much like a major life event. The women do reach many decisions, finding clarity in the unusual rituals (and some are pretty darn out there to us Westerners) and chaos that surrounds them, and eventually reaching their own plateaus of peace. Truthfully, I longed for something more concrete in a few places, but all in all, everything that transpired, both the good and the bad, felt authentic to the journey we first started.
To conclude, it was an adventure through the lives of three remarkable women who prove that an open heart/mind, and good friends, can get you through the roughest patches life can throw your way. None of their journeys were easy, nor the truths they learned a walk in the park, but learn them they did and they were all better for it in the end. I'd say it's best to put aside an autumn afternoon to spend with these lovely ladies and see what truths you might uncover in your own life along the way.

Q: How can I reorder parameters with vscode? I have a simple function whose parameters are unintuitively ordered:
async blockUser(currentUser: User, userToBlock: User) { ... }
I would like to (using a proper refactoring tool rather than regexs) refactor the function, and all times the function is called, to reorder the parameters for the new function signature:
async blockUser(userToBlock: User, currentUser: User) { ... }
I'd have hoped vsCode would have this in the 'Refactor' menu but can't find it.

How can I reorder parameters with vscode?

A: You can try Shifter extension https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Gruntfuggly.shifter
I'd suggest to use an object as a parameters of the function which will help you to avoid such cases.
interface User {
    name: string;
    age: number;
}

interface BlockUserParams {
    currentUser: User;
    userToBlock: User;
}

function blockUser({currentUser, userToBlock}: BlockUserParams) {
    console.log(currentUser, userToBlock);
}

A: In the absence of a proper, built-in method, you can always try a regex replacement like:
s/(blockUser)\(([^,]+), *([^,]+)\)/\1(\3, \2)/
Or, in the Find/Replace window:
Replace all (blockUser)\(([^,]+), *([^,]+)\)
with $1($3, $2)

Bicyclist, Supes Prez David Chiu Announces Bid for San Francisco Mayor
By Bryan Goebel

David Chiu, the car-free President of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, declared his candidacy for mayor on the steps of City Hall this morning, promising to make sustainable transportation one of the cornerstones of his campaign.
"We're the city that invented the cable car, but while we call ourselves a Transit-First city, we are sick of gridlock, we are sick of potholes and we're sick of Muni," Chiu told a crowd of more than 100 supporters. "As your candidate for mayor who doesn't own a car, who gets to City Hall either on the number 49 or on my bicycle, I think we can do better."
Chiu's entry into the mayor's race is expected to substantially raise the profile of sustainable transportation. Although many of the other major candidates have transportation listed as an issue of importance on their websites, Chiu is the only candidate (that we know of) who doesn't own a car and gets around mostly on his electric bicycle.
Cheryl Brinkman, a transit advocate who sits on the SFMTA Board of Directors, gave a rousing endorsement for Chiu at today's campaign kick-off, along with Supervisor Eric Mar.
"David's a true leader on transit issues, and he understands that San Francisco must be a world-class transit city," Brinkman said. "He's really willing to take bold moves to make sure that Muni continues to improve, and that the city is more accessible not only to transit users, but for pedestrians and cyclists as well."
Chiu joins a crowded field of mayoral candidates, including State Senator Leland Yee, City Attorney Dennis Herrera, former Supervisors Bevan Dufty and Michela Alioto-Pier and Assessor-Recorder Phil Ting.
Streetsblog plans coverage of the race leading up to the November election and we hope to have an opportunity to quiz all the major candidates on sustainable transportation.

History of Programming Languages conference
HOPL (History of Programming Languages) is an infrequent ACM SIGPLAN conference. Past conferences were held in 1979, 1993, and 2007.
HOPL I
HOPL I was held June 1–3, 1979 in Los Angeles, California. Jean E. Sammet was both the General and Program Committee Chair. John A. N. Lee was the Administrative Chair. Richard L. Wexelblat was the Proceedings Chair. From Jean Sammet's introduction: The HOPL Conference "is intended to consider the technical factors which influenced the development of certain selected programming languages." The languages and presentations in the first HOPL were by invitation of the program committee. The invited languages must have been created and in use by 1967. They also must have remained in use in 1977. Finally, they must have had considerable influence on the field of computing.
The papers and presentations went through extensive review by the program committee (and revisions by the authors), far beyond the norm for conferences and commensurate with some of the best journals in the field. The languages (and speakers) included in HOPL-I were:
* ALGOL 60 - Alan J. Perlis and Peter Naur
* APL - Adin D. Falkoff and Kenneth E. Iverson
* APT - Douglas T. Ross
* BASIC - Thomas E. Kurtz
* COBOL - Jean E. Sammet
* FORTRAN - John Backus
* GPSS - Geoffrey Gordon
* JOSS - Charles L. Baker
* JOVIAL - Jules I. Schwartz
* LISP - John McCarthy
* PL/I - George Radin
* SIMULA - Kristen Nygaard
* SNOBOL - Ralph E. Griswold
Preprints of the proceedings were published in "SIGPLAN Notices", volume 13, number 8, August 1978. The final proceedings, including transcripts of question and answer sessions, was published as a book in the ACM Monograph Series: "History of Programming Languages", edited by Richard L. Wexelblat. Academic press, 1981.
HOPL II
HOPL II was held April 20–23, 1993 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. John A. N. Lee was the Conference Chair and Jean E. Sammet was the Program Chair. In contrast to HOPL I, HOPL II included both invited papers and papers submitted in response to an open call. The scope also expanded. Where HOPL I had only papers on the early history of languages, HOPL II solicited contributions on:
* early history of specific languages,
* evolution of a language,
* history of language features and concepts, and
* classes of languages for application-oriented languages and paradigm-oriented languages.The submitted and invited languages must have been documented by 1982. They also must have been in use or taught by 1985.
As in HOPL I, there was a rigorous multi-stage review and revision process. The selected papers and authors were:
* Monitors and Concurrent Pascal - Per Brinch Hansen
* Prolog - Alain Colmerauer and Phillipe Roussel
* Icon - Ralph E. Griswold and Madge T. Griswold
* Smalltalk - Alan C. Kay
* ALGOL 68 - C. H. Lindsey
* CLU - Barbara Liskov
* Discrete Event Simulation programming languages - Richard E. Nance
* Forth - Elizabeth Rather, Donald R. Colburn, and Charles H. Moore
* C - Dennis Ritchie
* FORMAC - Jean E. Sammet
* Lisp - Guy L. Steele, Jr. and Richard P. Gabriel
* C++ - Bjarne Stroustrup
* Ada - William A. Whitaker
* Pascal - N. Wirth
Preprints of the proceedings were published in "SIGPLAN Notices", volume 28, number 3, March 1993. The final proceedings, including copies of the presentations and transcripts of question and answer sessions, was published as the ACM Press book [http://portal.acm.org/toc.cfm?id=154766] : "History of Programming Languages", edited by Thomas J. Bergin and Richard G. Gibson. Addison Wesley, 1996.
HOPL III
HOPL III was held June 9–10, 2007 in San Diego, California. Brent Hailpern and Barbara G. Ryder were the Conference co-Chairs. HOPL III had an open call for participation and asked for papers on either the early history or the evolution of programming languages. The languages must have come into existence before 1996 and been widely used since 1998, either commercially or within a specific domain. Research languages that had a great influence on subsequent programming languages were also candidates for submission.
As with HOPL I and HOPL II, the papers were managed with a multiple stage review/revision process.
Accepted Papers for HOPL III were:
* "A history of Erlang" by Joe Armstrong
* "A history of Modula-2 and Oberon" by Niklaus Wirth
* "AppleScript" by William R. Cook
* "Evolving a language in and for the real world: C++ 1991–2006" by Bjarne Stroustrup
* "Self" by David Ungar, Randall B. Smith
* "Statecharts in the making: a personal account" by David Harel
* "The design and development of ZPL" by Lawrence Snyder
* "The development of the Emerald programming language" by Andrew P. Black, Norman Hutchinson, Eric Jul and Henry M. Levy
* "The evolution of Lua" by Roberto Ierusalimschy, Luiz Henrique de Figueiredo, and Waldemar Celes
* "A history of Haskell: being lazy with class" by Paul Hudak, John Hughes, Simon Peyton Jones, and Philip Wadler
* "The rise and fall of High Performance Fortran: an historical object lesson" by Ken Kennedy, Charles Koelbel, Hans Zima
* "The when, why and why not of the BETA programming language" by Bent Bruun Kristensen, Ole Lehrmann Madsen, Birger Møller-Pedersen
The HOPL III programming languages can be broadly categorized into five classes (or paradigms): Object-Oriented (Modula-2, Oberon, C++, Self, Emerald, and BETA), Functional (Haskell), Scripting (AppleScript, Lua), Reactive (Erlang, StateCharts), and Parallel (ZPL, High Performance Fortran). Each HOPL III paper describes the perspective of the creators of the language.

Using dumbbells and a medicine ball, this high-intensity, metabolism boosting workout burns up to 600 calories.
This high-intensity workout from exercise physiologist Amy Dixon burns up to 600 calories. After warming up, complete the circuit 3 times, doing each move as hard as you can for 1 minute. Do the circuit 3 times per week to keep torching calories, even at rest.
Start with feet shoulder-width, holding a 5- to 10-lb dumbbell in left hand. Step right leg back diagonally, bending left knee 90 degrees; at same time, bring dumbbell under left leg, passing to right hand; then step back to center with the right foot. Repeat on other side; alternate for 1 minute.
Get into modified push-up position with knees down and arms wide, hands in line with shoulders. Lower down, then push back up. Walk hands in so they're a bit closer than shoulder-width; do another push-up. Alternate for 1 minute.
Stand with feet together. Jump right foot back into a runner's lunge with left knee bent and right leg extended straight behind, reaching heel toward floor; at same time, reach left arm forward and up. Switch legs and arms quickly; continue alternating for 1 minute.
With feet together, a 5- to 10-lb weight in each hand, hinge forward at hips with flat back; extend arms directly beneath shoulders. Step out to the right while drawing right elbow wide and back so dumbbell comes alongside chest, then lower dumbbell. Step left foot next to right and repeat with left arm. Repeat in other direction; continue to alternate for 1 minute.
Stand with feet together. Leap forward with right foot; shuffle back to starting point. Repeat on other side; continue to alternate for 1 minute.
Stand with feet together, holding a 5- to 10-lb medicine ball at chest. Step left foot back and lower into squat with right knee bent. Push into right leg, straightening both legs while twisting torso to push medicine ball over right shoulder; return to previous position. Continue for 30 seconds; switch sides and repeat.
Come into plank position with hands under shoulders, body straight, right hand on 5- to 8-lb dumbbell. Bring weight out, up, and straight above right shoulder, allowing chest and hips to rotate to the right . Return to starting position; continue for 30 seconds, then switch sides and repeat.
Stand with feet together, knees slightly bent. Lower into a squat (knees over toes); jump to the right, landing softly on toes of both feet, then immediately jump back to left. Continue alternating for 1 minute.
Sit on ball, knees bent, feet hip-width. Walk feet forward, rolling down until lower back is on ball, shoulders lifted, arms extended, palms up. Extend legs, lean back on ball; pull hands and elbows back as if rowing. Go back to previous position; keep "rowing" for 1 minute.


Peanut butter and jelly, apple pie and ice cream, Tom and Jerry, movies and great cars, now that's a combination we can get behind. Here are our picks for the top ten movies that feature exotic (and the coolest!) cars that made us fall in love.
10. Cadillacs, Bentleys, Aston Martins, Ferraris, Jaguars, Lamborghinis, and a whole lot more - Gone in 60 Seconds – 2000 – Hillary, Gina, Angelina, Denise, Lindsey, and Mary joined a host of their sisters in this fast paced, action packed film about car thieves – but they had a really good reason! This was a heart stopping parade of some of the hottest, most beautiful cars on the planet. But we can't go without mentioning the lovely Eleanor. The epitome of the one that got away.
9. 2000 Ferrari 550 Maranello – The Family Man – 2000 – This feel good movie was a modern take on "It's a Wonderful Life" but George Bailey never drove a car like this! No, Jack Campbell slid behind the wheel of a cherry red Maranello and took us for a ride. Granted, the Ferrari was replaced by a minivan, but we can all dream that he held on that is brazen beauty, even if to just take her for a spin while the kids are at school.
8. 1981 DeLorean DMC12 - Back to the Future – 1985 – "You made a time machine? Out of a DeLorean?" Those immortal words of Marty McFly will never get old. An oldie but a goodie, the DeLorean will always be the timeless exotic that changed the way we viewed the future. You had to get it to 88 mph to kick the flux capacitor into action and make the time machine work. Maybe in the future all cars are DeLoreans – that don't need roads.
7. Lamborghini Miura - The Italian Job – 2003 – Most people remember the impressive three Minis in this movie, but we think the star of the opening scene should get some props as well. That orange Miura didn't last long, but oh what a spectacle she was for those moments!
6. 2008 Audi R8 - Iron Man – The dashing Tony Stark needed a car that was fast, sleek, and as debonair as he was. Although he had a Saleen S7 and AC Cobra in his pony barn, he chose the R8 and we couldn't agree more. Very fitting for Iron Man's alter ego.
5. Porsche 928 - Scarface – 1983 – Is there a more fitting car for a Miami gangster (and drug lord)? This was Tony Montana's second car in the movie. He upgraded from a Caddy to a Porsche. We approve.
4. 1968 Ford Mustang GT 2+2 Fastback - Bullitt – 1968 – It isn't an exotic, per se, but this Stang is exotic in its own rite and an iconic piece of auto movie history. Watch for yourself. Steve McQueen and the coolest car chase scene ever – who could ask for anything more?
3. Aston Martin DB5 - Goldfinger – 1964 – Yes, the DB5 has appeared in a number of James Bond movies, but this one is special because it was the first. It was specially modified specifically for the James Bond franchise.
2. Ferrari 250 GTO – Vanilla Sky – 2001 – Full disclosure, the Ferrari used in the movie, driven by Tom Cruise, was actually a kit car (built on a 1976 Datsun Z chassis). But really, we forgive the slight deception. After all, this beauty is one of the more valuable, rarest cars in the world. We're glad the moviemakers weren't taking any chances!
1. 1970 Dodge Charger (plus a TON of other awesome cars!) - The Fast and the Furious – 2001 – No, the Charger isn't exactly an exotic, but it is the beautiful centerpiece for a veritable buffet of exotic cars that viewers can feast upon throughout this film. In fact, it was so tasty, they just kept on adding to this iconic car movie franchise. Yum!
Make your own movie or just feel like you're in one with an exotic of your own. Woodside Credit can make it happen. Complete a Quick Quote or fill out an application to get started – and get a little closer to making your dream car a reality.

Q: Efficient alternative way than using multiple if statements to check keys in a dictionary I have around 45 if statements that checks the dictionary  to see if it has that key.
    private List<MessageName> createMsgObject(Dictionary<string, string> infoHash, Dictionary<string, Int16> msgDescritionAndID)
    {
            MessageName msgName = null;
            List<MessageName> msgNameList = new List<MessageName>();
            var msgObjOuter = new MessageName();

            if (infoHash.ContainsKey("redis_version"))
            {
                msgName = new MessageName();
                msgName.MessageID = msgDescritionAndID["redis_version"];
                msgName.DiagnosticCnt = 0;
                msgName.DiagnosticStr = infoHash["redis_version"];
                msgNameList.Add(msgName);
            }
           if (infoHash.ContainsKey("uptime_in_seconds"))
           {
            msgName = new MessageName();
            msgName.MessageID = msgDescritionAndID["uptime_in_seconds"];
            msgName.DiagnosticCnt = Convert.ToInt32(infoHash["uptime_in_seconds"]);
            msgName.DiagnosticStr = "";
            msgNameList.Add(msgName);
          }
          //... 40 more if statements
         return msgNameList;
   }

This really hasn't had a hit on performance but I was wondering if there was a more efficient way to check all the keys in that dictionary and if it does insert it's property in to a MessageName object and insert that object into a list. I don't know if switch statements would help in performance.

A: There is no need to perform an dictionary lookup for all of your messages, unless your dictionary has a lot of keys you are not interested in, in which case stick with what you have.
Otherwise, You already know what keys are in the dictionary so you can just enumerate them.
For those that message that you are currently looking up the value after checking for the key you will be eliminating another lookup because enumerating the dictionary has the extra benefit of getting the value for free.
Then all that is left to do is lookup the int16 from your second dictionary for those keys that you want to process.
You can process this more efficiently and reduce your code base like this (assuming infoHash has only keys you want):
private List<MessageName> createMsgObject(Dictionary<string, string> infoHash, Dictionary<string, Int16> msgDescritionAndID)
{
    MessageName msgName = null;
    List<MessageName> msgNameList = new List<MessageName>();
    var msgObjOuter = new MessageName();
    // there is no need to perform an o(1) lookup of infoHash for 40 variables.
    // You already have a list of keys it contains so just enumerate them.
    foreach (KeyValuePair<string, string> info in infoHash)
    {
        var msg = new MessageName() { MessageID = msgDescritionAndID[info.Key] };
        switch (info.Key)
        {
            // switch all of your int16 versions first:
            case "redis_version":
            case "hash_int_message_2":
            case "hash_int_message_3":
                msg.DiagnosticCnt = Convert.ToInt32(infoHash[info.Value]);
                break;
            // switch on all message types getting int16 from info.Key
            case "msg_int_message_1":
            case "msg_int_message_2":
                msg.DiagnosticCnt = Convert.ToInt32(msgDescritionAndID[info.Key]);
                break;
            // everything left over is reading value from our current info.
            //  default:
                msg.DiagnosticStr = info.Value;
                break;

        }
        msgNameList.Add(msgName);
    }
    return msgNameList;
}

Even if infoHash contains keys your not interested in, you can code it like this:
private List<MessageName> createMsgObject(Dictionary<string, string> infoHash, Dictionary<string, Int16> msgDescritionAndID)
{
    MessageName msgName = null;
    List<MessageName> msgNameList = new List<MessageName>();
    var msgObjOuter = new MessageName();
    // there is no need to perform an o(1) lookup of infoHash for 40 variables.
    // You already have a list of keys it contains so just enumerate them.
    foreach (KeyValuePair<string, string> info in infoHash)
    {
        var msg = new MessageName() { MessageID = msgDescritionAndID[info.Key] };
        switch (info.Key)
        {
            // switch all of your int16 versions first:
            case "redis_version":
            case "hash_int_message_2":
            case "hash_int_message_3":
                msg.DiagnosticCnt = Convert.ToInt32(infoHash[info.Value]);
                break;
            // switch on all message types getting int16 from info.Key
            case "msg_int_message_1":
            case "msg_int_message_2":
                msg.DiagnosticCnt = Convert.ToInt32(msgDescritionAndID[info.Key]);
                break;
            // switch on all message types that have DiagnosticStr in info.Value;
            case "msg_str_message_1":
            case "msg_str_message_2":
                msg.DiagnosticStr = info.Value;

                break;
            default:    // everything left over we are not interested in
                continue;
                break;

        }
        msgNameList.Add(msgName);
    }
    return msgNameList;
}

A: Switch statements do help in performance, compared to multiple ifs, as discussed here.
However I have a suggestion, if there are multiple occasions in your 40+ statements where you assign the same properties to the same variables, you could try something like:
List<string> toCheckStrings1 = new List<string> { "redis_version", "something similar", };      //you can put all the strings here first

Then with a foreach loop you can reduce the number of if statements
foreach (var match in toCheckStrings1.Intersect(infoHash.Keys))    //intersect() will give you a list of matched keys
{
    msgNameList.Add(new MessageName
    {
        MessageID = msgDescritionAndID[match],
        DiagnosticCnt = 0,
        DiagnosticStr = infoHash[match]
    });
}

And since you assign different properties for some variables (e.g. DiagnosticCnt for "uptime_in_seconds"), you can group those differently:
List<string> toCheckStrings2 = new List<string> { "uptime_in_seconds", "others", "etc" };
foreach (var match in toCheckStrings2.Intersect(infoHash.Keys))
{
    msgNameList.Add(new MessageName
    {
        MessageID = msgDescritionAndID[match],
        DiagnosticCnt = Convert.ToInt32(infoHash["match"]),
        DiagnosticStr = ""
    });
}

And so on for other cases. Even though it may be several foreach loops, hopefully it would be much less than 45 if statements.
EDIT
As pointed out in the comments, the time complexity of my suggestion above would be somewhere around O(N) while for your code it would be a bunch of O(1) which is basically O(1). As such, if time is a concern (if you have huge datasets), it would be wiser to just stick with if statements, or switch.

Gender pay gap rules in detail
There is no specific reporting obligation in relation to gender pay differences at the moment.
However, there is a legislative proposal for an Equal Payment (Men and Women) Act. We expect that this will come into force within the few next years. There is a lot of public and governmental attention on discrimination in the labour market, including the gender pay gap. In June 2018, the Ministry of Social Affairs presented the 'Action Plan Labour Market Discrimination 2018-2021', one of the aims of which is to develop the legislative proposal.
The proposal contains a provision by which companies that have a statutory obligation to publish an annual report will be obliged to report in it on differences in pay between men and women, with regard to all aspects of remuneration. The companies will be obliged to inform the works council at least once a year on the differences in pay between men and women in similar positions.
