#Facebook hacked the #Nasdaq opening bell. Here's how....



 
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has rung the opening bell on the Nasdaq stock exchange on the day his company launches its Initial Public Offering.

Zuckerberg opened the stock exchange by remote control from Facebook's HQ at 1 Hacker Way in California.

He pressed the button in front of a cheering crowd of employees, surrounded by Facebook execs and to the soundtrack of an apparently slightly-warped loop of dramatic music.
Facebook's engineers apparently hacked the Nasdaq button before the sale, so that the message "Mark Zuckerberg has listed a company on NASDAQ – FB" was automatically posted to his Facebook Timeline.

Before the opening bell Facebook hosted its 31st 'Hackathon' event to develop new ideas and products.

Facebook's shares are being offered to the public for $38, and the company - valued at $104bn - stands take in $18.4bn from the sale.

Trading is set to begin under the ticker symbol FB two days after massive interest in the sale prompted the company to boost the number of shares it plans to sell, with 84m more being added to the IPO.

Investors such as U2 frontman Bono stand to make huge sums, with music magazine NME predicting the singer will become the richest rock star on the planet when the company floats.

Natalie Phillips : Missing Sister Known As 'Tal'

 
QUOTE
 

My sister, Natalie Phillips (née Conboy), known as ‘Tal’, has gone missing. She was dropped off at Blackburn train station (Vue entrance) at around 5:55pm on Friday 20/04/12 carrying a small black suitcase on 4 wheels and a black quicksilver rucksack with white writing on. She was wearing jeans and had with her a hoody with ‘Talie’ embroidered on the back and also a large 3/4 length black vinyl coat (shiny) with grey streaks. 

We last had contact with Tal at around 8pm on the same day. Normally, she’d return home as planned by midday the following day. We have still had no contact as I write this at 10:34am on 22/04/12. 

The only information she gave us about her plans, included on the last received text, were her intention of going to the Frog and Bucket comedy club on Oldham Street. We’re trying to spread the word just in case anyone has any information whatsoever.
Please try and help. If you know anything, no matter how insignificant it may seem, it may help to bring our Tal back.

She’s 21, about 5 foot 5”, between 12 and 12.5 stone, blonde hair (dyed).
Please reblog, share, whatever you can do. 

Thanks

#taliecomehome

Private UK #PoliceState :Dozens of people involved in Britain's biggest private-sector policing contract have been ordered to sign "anti-corruption" agreements

Dozens of people involved in Britain's biggest private-sector policing contract have been ordered to sign "anti-corruption" agreements amid concerns about senior officers retiring and then immediately rejoining on lucrative deals with security firms.
Surrey Chief Constable Lynne Owens – the head of one of the forces involved in the £1.5bn tender – said she found it "quite distasteful" that officers could retire and shift to similar jobs in the private sector almost overnight, but that she was unable to prevent it.

Fourteen rival consortiums are bidding for the contracts offered by the West Midlands and Surrey forces. They include some of the world's biggest security companies, including the huge US multinational KBR which helped to build the Guantanamo Bay detention centre.

Previous multimillion-pound deals with Cleveland Police have seen officers who were involved in planning the project move to the private sector company that won the bidding.

The forces say they want any private sector involvement to transform the way the police does its business, but it has prompted protests from rank-and-file officers and public sector unions because of concerns over accountability and job cuts.
Officers and officials working on the huge bids have had to sign documents detailing the business interests and investments of both themselves and their families....read more
