It's awful! You need to keep it nice and simple. That green mouse cursor is distracting and a big turn off, and you should try to center the div that has the main contents on the body of your page, there's too much space to the right of your links. Search google for cool colour themes.

So why can't they come back home? if their bosses seized their passport, they can go to the embassy to get an emergency travel document.

There is little more eerie than stepping foot into a derelict, decaying ghost town. These once-thriving communities lie frozen in time. Some tell haunting stories of their troubled pasts...
From towns scarred by violent pasts, to communities left to slip into disrepair, step back in time and take a look around the world’s most ghoulish ghost towns. These abandoned places are sure to send a chill down your spine.

1. Island of the Dolls, Mexico

L'Isla de las Muñecas was the home of a hermit, Julian Santana Barrera, who lived isolated on the Xochimilco canal. Legend has it that he found a girl drowned in the canal and hung dolls around the island to appease her spirit. The island became a popular tourist attraction with many visiting with dolls on hand to add to the collection. In 2001 Barrera was sadly found drowned, supposedly in the same spot as the girl he had once found. You can still visit the island and be greeted by unblinking, spooky eyes… and the dolls too.

2. Hashima Island, Japan
Also known as Battleship Island, this abandoned coal mining facility is an eerie jungle of crumbling concrete buildings and the dust-covered remnants of its former inhabitants. It has been unoccupied since 1974 as people were forced to leave as inhospitable conditions made it impossible to live there. At one point there were 5000 workers crammed into this tiny island (making it the most densely populated place on earth), unable to leave due to the temperamental seas.

3. Pripyat, Ukraine

Abandoned after the Chernobyl disaster in 1986, Pripyat was once the thriving home of 50,000 people before the worst nuclear disaster in history hit Ukraine. For many, this haunting time capsule serves as a reminder of the mistrust people felt towards the government, as this emptied city remains literally frozen in time – the nuclear power cause the city’s clocks to stop ticking. The most eerie area of the city is its theme park, that’s towering Ferris Wheel and rusting dodgems stand empty and devoid of life.

4. Oradour-sur-Glane, France
Oradour-sur-Glane has remained untouched since the Nazi massacre that wiped out the town’s population in 1944. 642 people died in this horrific attack – the majority being women and children. The village has remained untouched as General Charles de Gaulle stated it should remain a memorial to the cruelty of the Nazi occupation. Today it is a popular tourist attraction, for people to wander around the quiet streets lined by rusted cars and ruined stone buildings. Despite it being busy during the day, locals say they wouldn’t dare enter at night – there have been sightings of figures roaming the empty streets.

5. Kolmanskop, Namibia

This former diamond mining village was home to German miners seeking weath and prosperity. However, as the price of diamonds deteriorated after the First World War, the once-thriving hub of German architecture and culture in the middle of a vast African desert was abandoned. Over time, the houses have been invaded by sands that fill the rooms, turning them into almost otherworldly places that tourist can explore, if they dare.

6. Humberstone, Chile

Thousands lived and worked in northern Chile’s unbearably dry desert for over 60 years, processing the world's largest deposit of 'saltpetre' (potassium nitrate). When it was eventually abandoned it took over a more gruesome role as a concentration camp during the Pinochet dictatorship. Although not completely abandoned (some 250 residents still live here), the majority of the buildings lie empty and dilapidated.

7. Port Arthur, Tasmania

This small town and former convict settlement on the Tasman Peninsula is reportedly one of the most haunted locations in Australia as it operated for years as a penal colony. As well as being the home of criminals it is also the site of the awful Port Arthur massacre of 1996. People who visit say they have seen ghostly figures as well as hearing odd noises and the sound of a church bell that has not been in operation for years.

8. Bodie, USA

Nestled in the hills of the Sierra Nevada mountain range in California, Bodie is one of the most famous ghost towns in North America. Few of the buildings of this former gold mining town are still standing but the ones that are, are stocked full of dusty treasures from the town’s past. However, heed this warning – if you wish to take something as a souvenir, prepare to suffer the consequences, as legend has it that ghosts roam the town, protecting it from thieves.

9. Grytviken, South Georgia

This Antarctic whaling station was abandoned in 1966 after hunting had decimated the whale population to the point where so few were left it wasn't worth continuing. All that remains of the settlement are ghostly ships and rundown buildings, as well as a creepy graveyard where former workers were buried. Grytviken is surrounded by snow-capped mountains, further adding to the chilling, and decidedly chilly, atmosphere.

Those pictures are real, they might have been digitally enhanced. You should research them before exhibitng your sheer ignorance.

Lots of jigijigi!

Greed, poverty, inequality, environmental destruction, war… how do they, at the top of the hierarchy, pull it off? How can a system in which so few make the important decisions, be able to sit comfortably in their pile of wealth while the rest of the world goes to waste? How can a small group of men in suits be able to direct the current in which an entire human society moves?

It’s Simpler Than Most Think

We think it’s complicated. We think that their power is acquired in a very complex, political and scientific way. And it sure may seem that way behind the scenes. But there’s one thing we forget to ask: What is the life force of this system? With all of the police versus protester conflict and race wars going on as of late, I felt inspired to deliver a message that I believe we need to be reminded of if we want to get out of this mess, reclaim our power and create a more beautiful world. We often think it only has to do with fighting back and blaming the oppressor…
but here’s another perspective:

“The race issue based on skin colour is a deeply emotional one among many, that has caused unimaginable separation and was used very craftily to position large groups of people against each other. This is a wake-up call to all those who believe they are free because of race or class or wealth. We have all been denied freedom and dignity, trapped in a life of servitude to the banking families and their economic stranglehold on our planet – no matter what colour our skin may be.”

PS4 all the way.

I like number 1.

Feast your eyes and your imagination on this collection of the 10 most spectacular natural sights on the planet. And yes, all of these are real.

1. Fly Geyser, Nevada, USA

Ok, this geyser isn't 100% natural, but it was formed by accident. In 1964 drilling for sources of geothermal energy caused minerals to rise up into the strange-but-true form you can still admire today.

https://www.skyscanner.net/sites/de/files/images/news/fly_geysir_us_680.jpg

2. Great Blue Hole, Belize

This oddity is definitely all-natural. The hole, 300 meters across and up to 125 meters deep, is one of the best places on Earth for scuba diving.

3. Plitvicer Seen, Croatia

The 16 Plitvice Lakes in Croatia are arranged in steps, linked by waterfalls. You can explore them on walkways like in the photo, or by boat.

4. Zangye Danxia, China

The sandstone landforms of Zangye Danxia come in idiosyncratic and colourful formations, their layers revealing thousands upon millions of years of history and prehistory.

5. Striped icebergs, Antarctica

Antarctica pretty much has freehold on 'out-of-this-world' natural wonders, as long as you like your wonders to come in white, or maybe blue, or in some cases, stripes.

https://www.skyscanner.net/sites/de/files/images/news/striped_iceberg_antarctica_scotia_sea_680.jpg

6. The Door to Hell, Turkmenistan

In a story that recalls the creation of the Fly Geyser, the Door to Hell in Turkmenistan's Karakum Desert has been burning brightly for over 40 years, ever since geologists tried to burn off natural gases discovered when drilling at the site.

7. Côte d'Albâtre, France

You've heard of the White Cliffs of Dover, but how about the 'White Cliffs of Normandy'? The chalk-white Alabaster Coast stretches for 80 miles are rises in cliffs up to 100m high, forming odd structures like the arch at Étretat.


https://www.skyscanner.net/sites/de/files/images/news/etretat_france_680.jpg

8. Bryce Canyon, USA

There is of course the much-more-famous Grand Canyon, but Bryce Canyon, sitting at over 2000 meters above sea level in Utah, is very much a wonder of the world with its pyramid-like rock formations. And it's not actually a canyon...

https://www.skyscanner.net/sites/de/files/images/news/bryce_canyon_us_680.jpg

9. Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia

Do not adjust your set. The largest salt lake in the world (covering 10,582 square kilometers, to be precise) resembles a mirror-smooth frozen lake, making possible perception-perplexing photos like this.

https://www.skyscanner.net/sites/de/files/images/news/lake_uyuni_bolivia_680.jpg

10. Pamukkale, Turkey

The surreal beauty of these mineral hot springs in Denizli Province in south-west Turkey draws so many tourists that access is now restricted in the hope that its natural wonder will be preserved for many more people to admire.

What's the meaning of this??
