Some Corporations can't pass the costs on to the consumer because their consumers are not in Oregon. Increasing their costs by 2.5% will make them unable to compete in the rest of the US or the world and they will either have to quit business or move. Think RV manufacturing. Most of it is now in the Midwest where it is central to raw materials and transportation. If a Coburg or Harrisburg RV company has to charge 2.5% more than all those companies in Indiana, they lose. Add in the transportation costs from Oregon to wherever and they really lose. If they are gone, local governments and school districts get no property tax money; and the State of Oregon gets no income tax money from their employees. It's not a matter of greed; it's a matter of economics. | 0 | en |
For the first time since the Islamic Revolution of 1979, Iran is on the verge of acquiring a direct land link to the Mediterranean Sea and southern Lebanon. Iranian proxies and Assad regime forces advanced south in the Syrian desert on Friday to reach the Syrian-Iraqi border, cutting off Free Syrian Army rebels who had hoped to traverse that same territory to fight ISIS in the east.
Barring a Pentagon-backed rebel counterattack, Iranian proxies are now on pace to complete their corridor through a combination of advances south on the Iraqi side of the border and advances north and east on the Syrian side. On the Iraqi side, Iran-linked Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) groups reached the border in a lightning offensive last month. The Institute for the Study of War records that before the offensive, PMF groups had already attained a direct line of control from the Iran-Iraq border to Tel Afar – their forward position on the eve of the lightning offensive.
Now, a similar lightning offensive has occurred on the Syrian side of the border. The Iranian pro-regime media station Tasnim News released multiple photos today from the Syrian-Iraqi border showing IRGC-Quds Force head Qassem Suleimani alongside members of the Fatimiyun Brigade, which is a force of Afghani foreign fighters in Syria backed by the IRGC. Iranian-backed militias from Iraq including the Imam Ali Battalions, the Imam Baqir Brigade, and the Jihad Brigades had all increased their presence in the Syrian desert in the weeks prior to last Friday’s advance.
While many miles still separate the Iran-backed militias’ in northeastern Iraq and southwestern Syria, the militias are highly likely to link up if only ISIS-held territory stands in their way. Iranian and Assad regime forces were able to make rapid gains against ISIS in the Aleppo suburbs after boxing in rebel forces in the area of Al-Bab town. This past Friday, rebel forces in the Syrian desert might have been boxed in in a similar fashion.
It is important to note that pro-Assad forces launched few operations in the south Syrian desert until Free Syrian Army rebels began making gains against ISIS in the area this March and April. Assad forces then declared the area a priority – but they and their Iran-backed allies attacked the FSA rebels, not ISIS. Furthermore, pro-Assad attacks against rebel forces only began in earnest as the Russian “de-escalation zones” initiative took effect. Iranian Quds Force head Suleimani reportedly urged his proxies to build a ground corridor “before the Americans get there” around this time.
Shlomo Bolts is the policy and advocacy officer at the Syrian American Council in Washington D.C., where he prepares analysis and presentations regarding the ground situation inside Syria to facilitate policy papers, reports, op-eds and briefings with senior officials in the government and Congress.

We have a malignant narcissist and mentally deranged sociopath in the WH, who is a disgusting insult to the office of president. He is not a leader and has absolutely no concept of how to represent the United States domestically or internationally, and has become a blustering, insulting pathological liar without shame. His incredibly stupid, intemperate remarks spoken like an ignorant fool, merely underline the uncertain future the country faces unless he is removed from office. What may be even more frightening are the GOP sycophants in his administration and Congress, and his glassy-eyed fans who believe he can do no wrong. | 1 | en |

“Mainstream America is now looking at this and saying, ‘Wow, we’ve got a problem,’ and yet it’s been going on over and over,” said Brent Wilkes, ....."
Yes America has a problem - a BIG problem, or should I say two problems - they are called guns & the gun lobby.
The lobby say, you need guns to be safe; I would ask them to explain why there are more gun related deaths in a day in some large cities than there are in a year in all of Great Britain where guns are the exception - so how do they explain that away.
The gun market is only looking after their own bank balance and I suspect will have connections to the other vast market of funeral directors.
America has at long last taken one positive faltering step to ensure everyone has health care and with luck, one day someone will have the strength to introduce gun control. | 0 | en |

This was not a fight it was a violent attack. If just one of these sleezy cowards thinks they are going to jail I'm sure they will cry like the little chicken shits they are and spill their guts. Eventually all involve will be at least identified and if they have not made it right by being on the right side of the law and displaying some common decency, it will really suck to be them.

Richard Onorato - Bush made a mistake that could have been avoided and Trump would be a terrible president, but let's be honest here ...
Who split Pandora's box wide open by arming the Iranian-backed "rebels" in Syria, invading Libya and dealing arms through the embassy, funding the overthrow of the legitimately elected leader of Ukraine, and destabilizing Middle Eastern governments all in a pretty little line?
If you guessed Hillary Clinton, you're absolutely right. She can say whatever she wants to say in her campaign speeches, but her latest book says she's proud of being a war monger.
So, if you want a president who is philosophically opposed to starting anymore wars and whose fiscal philosophy would cause him to seek to reduce our worldwide war mongering, you want to vote for Gary Johnson because Trump and Hillary think war is normal and good for the economy and Johnson does not. | 0 | en |

Re: "regulating gun accessories work...From what was learned so far from LV is he had large mags, bump stocks"
He was in a room by himself away from anyone that could subdue him and considering you can swap a magazine in less than 3 seconds the capacity of the magazine would have made no difference. As far as the bumpstocks, you can bumpfire a semi automatic much more accurately and consistently with a rubberband or belt loop. Also if he had used a hunting rifle with a scope and bipod and chose his targets carefully I speculate it would have taken longer in a noisy crowd to realize what was happening and he would have killed more people but wounded fewer. | 0 | en |

Sorry officer, the lesson here is...if the plane is already boarded and seated, and 4 United crewmembers show up at the last minute and need to dead-head, it is grossly inappropriate to force people off the plane to accommodate non-scheduled employees.
Lesson #2 is, in a free market economy, you continue to up the bid to buy back the seats until someone gives them up "voluntarily". Not belligerent force and coercion as was the case here
Lesson #3, you don't physically assault someone who is behaving lawfully. Not cooperating with police is not illegal, if the police have no legal grounds to forcibly remove you in the first place.
This person was not being trespassed by united, you don't go hands on to remove someone to enforce internal airline policy. | 0 | en |

Tumor promoting activity of teleocidin in skin and forestomach of mice initiated transplacentally with 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene.
Experiments on the effect of transplacental initiation with 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA) and postnatal promotion with teleocidin were carried out in mice. The percentage of tumor-bearing mice among females treated with DMBA transplacentally on day 17 of gestation and postnatally by topical application of teleocidin to the skin of the back was 73.3% in week 30, whereas that among females treated with DMBA on day 10 of gestation and postnatally by topical application of teleocidin was 20.0%. This indicates that teleocidin shows potent tumor promoting activity on mouse skin in a transplacental initiation and postnatal promotion protocol. Furthermore, in the males treated with DMBA transplacentally on day 17 of gestation and given diet containing 0.01% teleocidin postnatally five tumors of the forestomach were found in 5 of 19 effective mice (26.3%) in week 52. One of these five tumors was a squamous cell carcinoma, and the others were papillomas. This indicates that teleocidin also has tumor promoting activity in the forestomach of mice. | 0 | en |

What kind of bill, exactly, could the GOP propose that Democrats could support without abandoning their core principles?
You can't flip this around to 2008, either. Democrats ended up passing a bill that was fundamentally the same as a bill passed by a Republican governor and had, in its ancestry, a proposal from the Heritage Foundation.
Republicans opposed the ACA because a) Democrats were proposing it and b) a large bunch of Republicans want the health system fully privatized.
Democrats are opposing the current GOP proposals because a) it will take health coverage away from millions of Americans, b) it will likely make health care cost a lot more for a lot of Americans and c) Republicans are proposing it.
There's no real equivalence here. | 0 | en |
A lot of protesting uses violence, although the "violence" caused by the Antifa is pretty tame by many standards. If violence is all you have to explain fascism, then you don't know anything about it. Fascism is much more than that, but you don't seem to understand. This is the Merriam Webster definition of Fascism: "a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition." That's the opposite of Antifa because they are not a regime and they are not exalting nation and race above the individual, and have nothing to do with economic or social regimentation. Oh, but who do you think resembles that? | 0 | en |

As far as my cousin goes he wasn't a "few". Following the registry you can find plenty of people who have offenses over varying years. That means reoffending. They weren't a 1 & done type of offender. I used the registry to avoid certain areas & to see who was in my area a few times. Once I found out 4 lived in the same apartment bldg that kind of worried me since it was a 4plex. 2 had multiple offenses spanning years the other 2 only had 1 offense. Responsible people use the reg to decide where to raise their kiddos; but effective parenting means also keeping an eye out for friends and the creepy uncle. Growing up in AK 1 in 4 women have been raped, Sex assaulted or molested. The rate of rape is the highest in the nation. Obviously a low sentence wasn't deterring anyone from trying.

Patient attitudes towards the arteriovenous fistula: a qualitative study on vascular access decision making.
The use of arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) among hemodialysis (HD) patients has been consistently associated with lower rates of morbidity and mortality; however, up to 30% of eligible patients refuse the creation or cannulation of an AVF. We aimed to understand the attitudes, beliefs, preferences and values of patients who refused creation or use of an AVF. With qualitative methodology, we conducted semi-structured interviews with 13 HD patients (Canada, 2009), who previously refused creation or use of an AVF. Three independent analysts reviewed interview transcripts. We discovered three main themes that impacted the decision to refuse a fistula: (i) poor previous personal or vicarious experiences with the fistula, including cannulation, bleeding, time commitment and appearance; (ii) knowledge transfer and informed decision making. Patients identified information from other patients to be as important as information from health care workers, that information on vascular access (VA) was presented but not understood and that timing of information was crucial with information overload at the start of dialysis and (iii) maintenance of status quo and outlook on life. Some patients stated they live day-to-day without being influenced by the mortality risks with a catheter. AVF refusal is multifactorial and depends on individual patients. Although nephrologists consider the fistula to be the optimal VA, patients do not think in the same terms of reducing infection rates but focus on the practical day-to-day use of their VA and its influence on their quality of life and future outlook. | 0 | en |
Breaking: Shake Shack Announces Its First Chicken Sandwich—And It’s Only Available in Brooklyn
Just when we were starting to get annoyed at the fact that Manhattan has lately had an abundance of cultishly popular sandwiches, while Brooklyn has had exactly none, Shack Shack announced this morning that, starting today, they would be launching their first ever chicken sandwich. And guess what? It’s only available at the store’s Brooklyn locations. Suck it, Fuku.
The ChickenShack, available exclusively at Shake Shack’s Kings County locales—409 Fulton Street, in Downtown Brooklyn; 1 Old Fulton Street, in Dumbo; and 170 Flatbush Avenue, near the Barclays Center—is made from a “crispy, all-natural and antibiotic-free chicken breast” and will be topped only with pickles, lettuce, and a swipe of buttermilk herb mayo. And it sure looks damned good.
The ChickenShack is available starting today, 7/7, but will only be around for an enigmatic “limited time.” So, you know, we don’t know about you, but we’ve never been so happy to work in Downtown Brooklyn in our lives. We really haven’t. | 1 | en |

some people mix up God's dislike of certain behaviors with the people themselves, so they may say that God hates homosexuals. These people are of the belief that homosexuality is a sin in God's eyes and that a marriage union is only acceptable if it is between a man and a woman. Yet, we are all sinners, Christian and non-Christian teens alike, and God loves us all. Every single person, homosexual or not, is special in God's eyes. Sometimes it is about our own views of our behaviors that lead us to believe we are less special in God's eyes. If you are of a denomination that has deemed homosexuality as a sin, you may be faced with guilt about your same-sex attraction. However, it is your own guilt that makes you think that God loves you less. | 0 | en |

For 50 years women have planned their pregnancy, or not planned, with the knowledge that abortion is legal. It still is.
I did not say rape was the ONLY reason for abortion, just the opposite, the majority is for birth control/contraception.
I think 'free sex' has hurt our national culture. We ignore the down side of casual sexuality in building long term secure relationships. Sex is great fun, but if not with a truly intimate partner, can lead to all kinds of misunderstanding of intent and create emotional risk for both people, let along the physical concern for disease, violence, and in some cases pregnancy.
At one time, fairly or not, women were seen as more intuitive, sensitive, protectors of virtue and honestly, helping to control the baser instincts for power(money, sex, violence) that many men show. I think we've lost some of that balance. But there's no reason that men can't change their behavior(more empathy), if we expect women to change theirs. | 0 | en |

Surgical treatment of primitive thyroid lymphoma.
Primitive thyroid lymphoma, although rare, is becoming more frequent. Its incidence is increasing, from 0.5% in the sixties to 1-5% of all thyroid neoplasms today. The diagnosis of such neoplasms is not always straightforward. In fact, it is often the result of pathologic findings on a gland resected for an apparently benign disease. Surgical dissection may prove more complicated than in standard cases of thyroidectomy for the possible tight adhesions existing between the gland's capsule and the surrounding structures. In cases of capsular infiltration, postoperative external local radiotherapy is indicated. A retrospective observational analysis was performed to establish whether patients with incidental thyroid lymphomas who underwent total thyroidectomy for another pathology had major surgical complications and worse prognostic results than patients with an accurate preoperative diagnosis. Six cases of thyroid lymphoma were retrospectively reviewed: 4 diffuse large B-cell lymphomas and 2 MALT lymphomas. Of these, 2 were correctly preoperatively identified by fine-needle aspiration biopsy and 4 were an unexpected finding at histology: 3 cases of total thyroidectomy carried out for huge hypothyroid goiter in patients affected by Hashimoto's thyroiditis and in 1 case of total thyroidectomy carried out for anaplastic carcinoma in a patient affected by Hashimoto's thyroiditis. In our experience, a correct preoperative diagnosis was extremely difficult (33%). In patients who underwent fine-needle aspiration, a correct diagnosis was made in 66% of cases. All patients with stage IE lymphoma who underwent total thyroidectomy had equivalent surgical complications and prognosis. | 0 | en |

I know right!! Over a quarter of muni employees make over $100,000 a year in wages alone, without factoring benefits. Once you factor those in, it is 50% of them. Could you imagine a company that did this and could still survive? | 0 | en |

My deepest ALOHA to his ohana. | 0 | en |
The anti fracking groups had nothing to do with the fact the best, most concentrated frackable resources were drilled first.
In California, official estimates for frackable oil were 15 billion barrels, now the government concedes 26 million is more realistic. The first areas to be fracked for shale gas were in Texas and Louisiana/Arkansas, both are in decline now due to depletion. The fracking boom is peaked and it delayed rationing, but not forever. Note that most anti-fracking groups do not want to discuss geological depletion.
Lots of people talk about the problems of solar and wind intermittency. As a user of solar since 1990 I agree with that being a huge problem. We have reached the limits to endless growth on a finite planet. | 0 | en |
Q:
Finding greatest common factor
What is the greatest common factor of:
$$\underset{m}{\underbrace{111\dots111}}$$ and $$\underset{n}{\underbrace{111\dots111}}.$$
I am guessing that it involves using Euclidean algorithm (matrix-method).
A:
Hint $\ $ The Euclidean algorithm computing their GCD mimics that for $\rm\: gcd(m,n)\:$.
Put $\rm\ 1^{[n]}\: :=\ 1\cdots 1\ \ (n\ 1's)\ =\ (10^n-1)/9\:.\ $ Then your gcd is $\rm\ gcd(1^{[m]},\:1^{[n]}) $
But $\rm\ 1^{[m]}-1^{[n]}\ =\ 1^{[m-n]}\cdot 10^n\ \ \ $ [e.g. $\rm\ 11111 - 111\ =\ 11000\ =\ 1^{[2]}\cdot 10^3\ $]
and $\rm\ gcd(10,1^{[n]}) = 1\ $ since $\rm\ 9\cdot 1^{[n]}\ =\ 10^n-1\ $ and $\rm\ \rm\ gcd(10,\:10^n-1) = 1\:$.
Thus, choosing notation so that $\rm\:m\ge n\:,\ $ and applying the above observations we have
$ \rm\quad\ \ \ gcd(1^{[m]},1^{[n]})\ =\ gcd(1^{[m]}-1^{[n]},\:1^{[n]})\ =\ gcd(1^{[m-n]}\cdot 10^n,\:1^{[n]})\ =\ gcd(1^{[m-n]}\:,\:1^{[n]})$
So $\rm\ \ gcd(1^{[m]},1^{[n]})\ =\ gcd(1^{[m-n]}\:,\:1^{[n]})\ $ just like $\rm\ gcd(m,n)\ =\ gcd(m-n,n)\: $.
So $\rm\ \ gcd(1^{[m]},1^{[n]})\ =\ 1^{[gcd(m,n)]}\ $ follows from the above by a simple induction.
Remark $\ $ For full proofs and more see the answers to this prior question, which prove
$$\rm \gcd(a^n\! - 1,\, a^m\! - 1)\ =\ a^{\gcd(n, m)}\! - 1 $$
Your result follows by specializing $\rm\ a = 10,\ $ then cancelling $\rm\:a\!-\!1 = 9.$

Q:
Tree filter: how to remove all but one directory?
Here's what I've tried, but the result is bizarre / unexpected:
git filter-branch -f --tree-filter \
'for f in $(ls); do if [ "$f" != "deploy" ]; \
then rm -rf "./$f"; fi done; mv "./deploy/philips/*" .; \
rm -rf "./deploy"' --prune-empty HEAD
formatted for readability. In reality this is a single line.
What happens is that mv fails because there are some files left, which the previous loop didn't remove. The action completes "successfully" processing all commits, but the effect is that what then remains in the root directory isn't filtered / only some small percent of it.
So, I have two questions:
Isn't there an easier way to purge all but a single directory from a particular branch?
If filter-branch is the way to go, can I maybe stack multiple filters? It seems like it executes the filter in random order. Is that true?
PS. If I can simplify it while sacrificing the commit history - this is an acceptable solution.
Also tried something like this:
$ git banch
master
preliminary
* release-0.6.3
$ git checkout release-0.6.3 master/deploy/philips
Also tried variations like master:/deploy/philips, master:deploy/philips, /deploy/philips, deploy/philips and master -- deploy/philips - I'm still no closer to the goal. :(
EDIT:
Please never mind this question. I'm an idiot! The deploy directory was ignored / nonexistent in master! this why I couldn't check it out.
A:
This is actually really easy using git subtree. Just run this (for every branch):
git branch newmaster `git subtree split -P deploy/philips`
Now you should have a new branch newmaster that contains the history you want. Check that, delete the old master, rename and you are done.
If you don’t have git subtree in your git, you can read its docu here: https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/contrib/subtree/git-subtree.txt and to install it, just download this file and put it in your git-core folder (in cygwin that’s …\cygwin\lib\git-core):

Unfortunately for the right wing spin masters, these emails are solid evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign & Russia. Trump Jr. released these because of the New York Times article from yesterday, knowing that they were going to release them.
Since Trump was elected it's been one lie after another and then another. The Russia is just a "ruse" comment is now just a memory. Unfortunately this is going to burn down the entire Republican Party, if they do not remove Trump from office asap. If Republicans can do 8 investigations into Benghazi, it's not hard to imagine what Democrats will do with Treason, Obstruction & Lies.
I don't think they had a clue that they were being watched since 2015 by an alliance called the 5 eyes, countries that share intelligence with us. It was the British that first warned US intelligence of these Trump contacts with the Russian intelligence agents.

Alina West
In recent years the porn business has seen a huge influx of skinny chicks with small tits gain massive popularity and Alina West is one of those sexy spinners that’s built up quite a following around the world. She’s been working hard in the fuck business since 2014 and her small tits, hot ass, and sweet smile are all part of the reason why. It’s her willingness to do whatever it takes to make a great scene that makes her truly memorable though. She’s turned on by all things sexual and it’s such a pleasure to watch her go at it with big cock guys. | 1 | en |

Ciao Pizzi, dato che ho deciso di eliminare it.wiki (non en.wiki, attenzione!) dai miei bookmarks, mi chiedevo se eri dotato di un programma di messaggistica istantanea, tanto per dialogare un poco se mai ti beccavo online. Se hai MSN, programma che quegli imperialisti di Microsoft usano per controllarci, aggiungimi al contatto mariosanson [at] tiscali [dot] it. Altrimenti, suca! Anzi, no, puoi pur sempre beccarmi su IRC, sono registrato su irc.azzurra.net come Olpus (il Bonzo non ci stava). Poi ho anche una paginetta MySpace per provare a cuccare con qualche ragazzina emo/goth (che tanto è la stessa cosa, sempre cretinette sono) con pretese artistiche, anche se finora tutte trovano la mia immensa trippa per niente sexy. Ah, proprio vogliono che la butti giù. Vabbeh, sarebbe anche ora, e poi per ciulare si fa questo ed altro. Comunque l idea è che se sei iscritto a MyKevinSpacey puoi aggiungermi tra i friends .

Being homeless isn't a crime. Apparently, where there is crime there happens to be a lot of homeless and the people that are caught committing these crimes are homeless. Hence the connection. There used to be a time where putting two and two together was called police work... But now that's somehow taboo... It seems like APD wants to solve the homeless problem to also solve the criminal problem. Obviously holding violent criminals for a long period of time isn't in Anchorage playbook either.

Mastercard Inc (NYSE:MA) announced the appointment of Craig Vosburg to president, North America Markets, effective January 1, 2016. This appointment comes as Chris McWilton announced he will leave MasterCard on December 31.
McWilton joined MasterCard in 2003 as corporate controller and was appointed chief financial officer in October of the same year. As CFO, McWilton played a critical role in the company’s successful initial public offering (IPO) in May 2006. The MasterCard IPO was the largest domestic IPO of 2006 and the 12th largest domestic IPO in U.S. history at the time.
He was named president of MasterCard Global Accounts in 2007, managing relationships for the company’s largest customers. He was then appointed president of U.S. Markets in 2009, before assuming North American responsibilities in 2013.
Prior to joining MasterCard, McWilton had a 22-year career with KPMG, where he specialized in financial and SEC reporting and was an SEC reviewing partner.
“I want to acknowledge Chris’s contributions to the growth and evolution of MasterCard,” said Ajay Banga, president and chief executive officer, MasterCard. “I’d also like to personally thank him for his commitment over the years in helping to make our company what it is today. The entire company joins me in wishing Chris and his family all the best going forward.”
As president, North America Markets, Vosburg will oversee the company’s customer-facing activities in the United
States and Canada, including sales, business development, strategy and relationship management with issuers, merchants, governments and acquirers. He will join the company’s Executive Committee.
Vosburg, 48, was most recently the company’s chief product officer, a role he held since April 1, 2014. In this role, he led the development, commercialization and management of the company’s global Core Products offerings which include consumer credit and debit, commercial, prepaid and loyalty solutions.
“I’m pleased to announce Craig’s appointment. His experience, both global and domestic, make him the ideal person to drive our business forward,” said Banga. “I’m confident Craig will have great success in his new role.”
Vosburg brings global experience to the role gained through a decade of working in the Asia Pacific region with MasterCard and earlier in his career with Bain & Company and A.T. Kearney.
Vosburg joined MasterCard in 2006 as head of MasterCard Advisors in Southeast Asia, Greater China, and South Asia/Middle East/Africa. In 2008, he was named managing director of the MasterCard Advisors business in the U.S. and Canada. In 2010, Vosburg was named group executive, U.S. Market Development, responsible for managing and building relationships within the merchant and acquiring community.
He began his career working in commercial banking at CoreStates Financial Corporation.
Vosburg is a past David Rockefeller Fellow at the Partnership for New York City and currently sits on the Board of Directors of the New York Botanical Garden. He holds a Master of Business Administration from The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania and a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Bucknell University.
Changes to Global Product and Middle East and Africa Leadership
Effective January 1, Michael Miebach will assume the role of chief product officer for the company, replacing Vosburg, and will be based in New York. He currently serves as president, Middle East and Africa, responsible for driving the evolution of payments and delivering increased value to MasterCard stakeholders in markets across the region.
Before joining MasterCard in 2010, Miebach held several global positions including with Barclays, where he was the managing director for Middle East and North Africa and managing director for Barclays Africa. He also held senior-level positions at Citibank, responsible for Germany, Austria, UK and Turkey.
Raghu Malhotra will become president, Middle East and Africa as of January 1. Previously overseeing Middle East and North Africa, Malhotra will now add supervision of sub-Saharan Africa and South Africa markets to his responsibilities.
Since 2000, he has led several teams across South Asia, India and the Middle East and Africa. Prior to joining
MasterCard, Malhotra served in a variety of leadership roles across the consumer franchise and financial services businesses for Citigroup, American Express and ANZ Grindlays Bank.(Original Source)
