The Big Picture. Google vs Facebook. It is rumored that Facebook will float on the New York Stock Exchange this May.
The estimated value is between $50-70 billion, for what is essentially a company made by you and me (if you have a Facebook page). It will be the biggest IPO of a tech company ever, surpassing’s Google float from years ago. Both companies are huge and play a big part of our lives, whether we want them to or not. Both are also highly sought after employers and their office environments might have something to do with that. Not your average stuffy offices are they?

Chegando em floripa para o evento na federal. Chernobyl 25 Years Later. 25 Years ago Chernobyl was headline news.
On April 26th 1986 at 1:23 A.M. reactor number four at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, near the town of Pripyat, ruptured a vessel during several extreme power spikes. Several explosions followed and these caused the graphite moderator components of the reactor to be exposed to air, setting them on fire. The fire sent a plume of radioactive fallout into the atmosphere. It drifted over large parts of the Sovjet Union and Western Europe. 50 People died as a direct result of the disaster and it is thought up to 4000 people have died as a result of being exposed to the radioactive materials which entered the atmosphere.
Over 350.000 were evacuated from contaminated areas around Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. Chernobyl 25 Years Later Part 2.
