  • Page 1 of 7 Location the Nation of Libya Is Located in North Africa And
    Libya Location The nation of Libya is located in North Africa and covers approximately one million seven hundred fifty square kilometers, which is slightly larger than the United State’s Alaska. It is one of the largest countries in Africa. Libya lies in the geographic coordinates 25°N and 17°E. It is bordered in the north by the Mediterranean Sea and by Niger and Chad in the south. Libya’s western border connects to Algeria and Tunisia, and connects to Egypt and Sudan in the east. Geography The highest point in Libya is the Bikku Bitti, also known as Bette Peak, which stands at seven thousand four hundred and thirty eight feet at its highest point. It is located in the Tibesti Mountains in southern Libya near the Chadian border. The Sahara, an immense North African desert, covers most of Libya. Much of the country’s land consists of barren, rock-strewn plains and sand sea, with flat to underlying plains, plateaus, and depressions. Two small areas of hills ascend in the northwest and northeast, and the Tibesti mountains rise near the southern border. There are no permanent rivers or streams in Libya. The coastline is sunken near the center by the Gulf of Sidra, where barren desert reaches the Mediterranean Sea. Libya is divided into three natural regions. The first and largest, to the east of the Gulf of Sidra, is Cyrenaica, which occupies the plateau of Jabal al Akhdar. The majority of the area of Cyrenaica is covered with sand dunes, especially along the border with Egypt.

    Q2 2017 THOUGHT LEADERSHIP WHAT MAKES A GOOD MARKETER AND WHY YOU NEED ONE AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH HEDGE FUND EXECUTIVES Mike Vranos, CEO of Ellington Management Group Chris Cutler, CEO of Manager Analysis Services Alex de Calice, COO of Nara Capital ALEXIS DUFRESNE / SOLOMON PAGE Managing Director, Marketing & Investor Relations Search 212.403.6100 / [email protected] DEAR COLLEAGUES, My professional career has been dedicated to the success of marketing and investor relations functions within asset management. I spend a great deal of time and passion educating managers on the roles of marketing and investor relations, as well as creating a case for successful hires. During the course of my Qconversations with prospective clients, the most frequent question I receive is, why should I invest in marketing hires? To get to the root of this question, I asked three industry leaders to provide 1 commentary from their perspectives: a hedge fund manager, an allocator, and an asset management COO/marketer. MICHAEL VRANOS, CEO and Founder of Ellington Management Group, a $6.5bln AUM hedge fund, spoke to me about how he thinks about his marketing team and their responsibilities. Having been in the game for over 20 years, and a widely regarded industry legend, he has seen the evolution Aand importance of marketing. CHRIS CUTLER, Senior Hedge Fund Due Diligence Analyst, and Founder of Manager Analysis Services, spends a significant amount of his time speaking with marketers who solicit his allocation. His feedback on what resonates with him when he meets marketers is truly valuable. ALEX DE CALICE, Founding Partner, COO, and Head of Marketing at Nara Capital, added his view on the challenges marketers face on the front lines.

  • Everyday Geographies, Geographies Everyday: Mundane of Mobilities Made Tangible
    Creative | Alternative Everyday Geographies, Geographies Everyday: Mundane of Mobilities Made Tangible Laura Bisaillon University of Toronto Scarborough [email protected] Leah Montange University of Toronto [email protected] Alberto Zambenedetti University of Toronto [email protected] Paolo Frascà University of Toronto [email protected] Lina El-Shamy University of Toronto [email protected] Tamir Arviv Technion-Israel Institute of Technology [email protected] Published with Creative Commons licence: Attribution–Noncommercial–No Derivatives Everyday Geographies, Geographies Everyday 1026 Abstract In this photo essay, a group of six academics contributed to a cross-disciplinary conversation about immigration, mobility and circulation. We tasked ourselves with subverting crisis narratives attached to global migration by exploring the habitual, mundane, and everyday aspects of migration, as well bringing into focus the bodily, intimate and affective dimensions of mobility. Each co-author selected one or more photographs they had taken of an object or daily practice that illustrates the immediacy, tangibility, and materiality of global mobility, migration and circulation from their perspective as an academic or practitioner in their own discipline. We each also wrote mini-essays to contextualize and explicate these photographs. The result is part photo-essay and part collage. As the various pieces juxtapose with one another, themes of temporal stretching, melancholy, dis/orientation, and the rhythms and cycles of everyday life that are altered and interpenetrated by the mobilities and circulations of people and objects arose. This collective piece also registers the blurring boundaries between everyday life and research practice, individual and collective conversation, work and pleasure.

  • Why Did So Many People Make So Many Ex Post Bad Decisions? the Causes of the Foreclosure Crisis∗
    Why Did So Many People Make So Many Ex Post Bad Decisions? The Causes of the Foreclosure Crisis∗ Christopher L. Foote Kristopher S. Gerardi FRB Boston FRB Atlanta Paul S. Willen FRB Boston and NBER April 2012 Abstract: We present 12 facts about the mortgage crisis. We argue that the facts refute the popular story that the crisis resulted from finance industry insiders deceiv- ing uninformed mortgage borrowers and investors. Instead, we argue that borrowers and investors made decisions that were rational and logical given their ex post overly optimistic beliefs about house prices. We then show that neither institutional fea- tures of the mortgage market nor financial innovations are any more likely to explain those wrong beliefs than they are to explain the Dutch tulip bubble 400 years ago. Economists should acknowledge the limits of our understanding of asset price bubbles and design policies accordingly. ∗This paper was prepared for the conference, “Rethinking Finance: New Perspectives on the Crisis,” or- ganized by Alan Blinder, Andy Lo and Robert Solow and sponsored by the Russell Sage and Century Founda- tions.
