-- Otto Frank File Found in YIVO Institute
for Jewish Research's Archives
Details Difficulties Faced by Jewish Refugees Seeking to Flee Europe for the U.S. and Cuba --
NEW YORK, Feb. 14,
2007 – Ever since the first publication of her diary in 1947, Anne Frank
has been a very human symbol of the inhumanity of the Holocaust. The story of
her family's two years in hiding in an Amsterdam attic is known the world over.
But what hasn't been known is how desperately her father, Otto, tried to get
his family out of the Nazi-occupied Netherlands – an effort that is detailed in
a file of nearly 80 pages of original documents recently discovered in the
archives of the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research.
The bulk of the file, which consists of personal correspondence and official records, spans dates from April 30, 1941, almost a year after Germany invaded the Netherlands, to December 11, 1941, the day Germany declared war on the United States. A month later, the first Jews from Amsterdam were sent to Nazi work camps, and six months after that, the Franks went into hiding. The final documents pick up in June 1945, when Julius Hollander, the brother of Otto's wife, Edith, sought information about the family's whereabouts, and end in early 1946, when he was able to contact Otto, the sole survivor, who had made his way back to Amsterdam after being liberated from Auschwitz in January 1945.
The discovery of the Otto Frank file was fortuitous, since it was not known to be among the millions of documents housed at YIVO, one of five partner organizations that comprise the Center for Jewish History in New York City.
"The documents appear to have come
from the files of the National Refugee Service, which, along with other
organizations, merged into HIAS (originally the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society)
in the 1950s," stated Dr. Carl J. Rheins, executive director of YIVO. "Over the
years, HIAS has turned over thousands of records to YIVO, and the Otto Frank
file was transferred with tens of thousands of other case files that filled
some 350 four-drawer filing cabinets that HIAS turned over to YIVO in early
It was not until mid-2005 that a
part-time volunteer at YIVO, Estelle Guzik, happened upon the file in a manila
envelope and realized its significance. Ms. Guzik was checking the work of
other volunteers who had been indexing files to make them accessible to
researchers, scholars, and families searching the YIVO archives, and noticed
that the date of birth had been omitted next to the name of Otto Frank on the
file. Looking in the folder, she saw the daughters' names and birth dates and
realized that this was Anne Frank's father. Ms. Guzik immediately reported her
discovery to executives of YIVO, who "embargoed" the documents until potential
copyright and privacy issues could be determined.
"With the release of the file, the plight of the Franks becomes even more poignant, since the family was unable to escape even with the help and support of a prominent American, Nathan Straus, Jr., son of the founder of Macy's and head of the U.S. Housing Authority, a New Deal Agency," said Dr. Rheins. A college friend of Otto Frank's from Heidelberg University in Germany, Mr. Straus plays a major role in the drama that unfolds through the documents, from the very first letter Otto Frank wrote to Mr. Straus in April 1941 to ask for financial assistance in securing affidavits necessary for immigration to the United States.
In that letter, Otto Frank
apologetically writes, "I would not ask if conditions here would not force me
to do all I can in time to be able to avoid worse." He goes on to stress that
it was "for the sake of the children mainly that we have to care for. Our own
fate is of less importance." At the time of the letter, Jews in the Netherlands
were facing increasing restrictions, having already been banned from owning
radios and banned from the Civil Service, among other prohibitions; and an
order had been issued requiring the registration of Jewish businesses. More
directly urgent to Otto Frank was the fact that evidence (not included in the
YIVO file) suggests he was being subjected to blackmail by a Dutch Nazi, and
feared exposure and imprisonment as a racial and political opponent of the Nazi
Nathan Straus, Jr., and his wife, Helen, according to the file, made several appeals on the Franks' behalf to the Migration Department of the National Refugee Service, and contacted the State Department for information and assistance. Another key player in the endeavors to get the Frank family out of the Netherlands was Edith's brother Julius Hollander, who had immigrated to the U.S. in 1939 along with another brother, Walter, and whose employer, Jacob Hiatt of Worcester, Massachusetts, generously supplied an immigration affidavit for Anne and Margot. Julius and Walter had enough savings to help secure immigration for their mother, Rosa Hollander, who was living with the Franks in Amsterdam, but could not provide funds for the entire family.
Unfortunately, their efforts were
in vain, due to the vast numbers of refugees seeking safe haven, as well as
drastic tightening of U.S. immigration policy – based partly on fears that some
immigrants might be spies or saboteurs.
Noted Richard Breitman, Professor of History at American University, who studied YIVO's file of documents, "In 1938, according to his own testimony, Otto Frank first applied at Rotterdam for immigration visas to the U.S. for himself and his family. By early 1939, the waiting list for an immigration visa to the U.S. contained more than 300,000 names. Under these circumstances, Otto Frank's turn on the waiting list for American visas apparently did not come up. At that point, Germany had not yet invaded the Netherlands, and, feeling protected by his successful business in Amsterdam, Frank was not threatened enough to immediately try other opportunities abroad.
"However, opportunities to emigrate sometimes vanished very quickly," Professor Breitman added. "By July 1941, American consulates in Germany and German-occupied countries were closed, so Otto Frank would have had to leave the Netherlands and reach Spain or Portugal before he could have any chance of getting U.S. visas for the family – meaning he would have to show an exit permit from the Netherlands and transit visas through the countries he would pass through. In addition, although Otto Frank did not realize it, under the new American visa regulations, he could not qualify for an American visa if he had any close relatives left in German territories. So the entire Frank family, including Edith's mother, would have to get U.S. visas simultaneously, or none could qualify."
When it became clear that new restrictions made coming directly to the U.S. impossible, the Strauses later offered to make required deposits for visas to Cuba for the Frank family. The subject of Cuba first arises in a September 8, 1941, letter from Otto Frank to Mr. Straus, in which he writes, "The only way to get to a neutral country are visas of others States such as Cuba … and many of my acquaintances got visas for Cuba." Visas for Cuba were very expensive, since the Cuban government required, in addition to a visa fee, bonds totaling $2,500 per person, an amount that the Strauses were willing to deposit. On December 1, the Cuban government issued a single visa in the name of Otto Frank. Ten days later on December 11, Germany declared war on the United States and the Cuban visa was cancelled.
Had Otto Frank chosen to pursue emigration earlier than 1941, he might have faced an easier process. But, as David Engel, Greenberg Professor of Holocaust Studies at New York University, who also studied the YIVO file, stated, "Understanding the situation of Jews in the Netherlands under Nazi occupation, like understanding any aspect of the Holocaust, requires suspension of hindsight."
Professor Engel pointed out that the Frank family, who were German, had already emigrated once, when they moved to the Netherlands in 1933 following the Nazi takeover of Germany. Otto Frank had established a successful business in Amsterdam, and knew that his two brothers-in-law were making only "ordinary workmen" wages in Massachusetts. What's more, even when he began to investigate immigration to the United States in April 1941, Jews were still "pretty much able to go about their business as before," Professor Engel said.
"During the first nine months following the Nazi occupation, little happened to suggest that Jews in Holland would be subjected to more than minor discrimination," he added. "On the contrary, the situation of Dutch Jews (including refugees) appeared far more favorable than that of Jews in other Nazi-occupied countries.
"What's more, the consensus among historians today is that when the Nazi regime came to power in January 1933, it had no clear idea how the so-called Jewish problem might best be solved. It was not until mid-1941 at the earliest that hopes for mass emigration were scrapped and concrete plans laid for total murder," Professor Engel stated. "Neither Otto Frank nor anyone else could reasonably have predicted what would befall Jews in the Netherlands beginning in 1942."
Otto Frank was able to survive the horrors of Auschwitz and died in Switzerland in 1980. Edith died of starvation at Auschwitz. Anne and Margot died of typhus within days of each other at Bergen-Belsen.
The original Otto Frank file will remain housed at the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research, and its contents will be made available on-site for research purposes. The YIVO Institute for Jewish Research is the world's preeminent resource center for East European Jewish Studies and the American Jewish immigrant experience. It is a founding partner of the Center for Jewish History. An affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution, the Center's mission is to preserve, research, and educate by fostering the creation and dissemination of knowledge and by making the historical and cultural record of the Jewish people readily accessible to scholars, students, and the broad public.
According to YIVO and Center for Jewish History Chairman Bruce Slovin, "The combined collections of the Center's five partner organizations constitute an unparalleled wealth of more than half a million books and 100 million documents, forming the largest repository of Jewish archives outside of Israel. In fact, the massive archival holdings and a very large portion of the printed materials at the Center cannot be found in any other institution in the world. Thus the Center is not just a unique resource for researchers, scholars and families, it is a national and worldwide treasure-house of Jewish culture. And, it has earned the accolade as the 'Library of Congress' of the Jewish people in the Diaspora."
The YIVO Archives hold more than 23 million documents, photographs, recordings, posters, films, videotapes, and items of ephemera, as well as thousands of handwritten, eyewitness accounts by Holocaust survivors and displaced persons.

We have listened, and are aware that we missed the mark on the quality of this item! We have reproduced these Wall Plaques, and believe the material improvements will bring this item to our high DaySpring standards.
Recommend: No
Cheap and bent. Plaque is the wrong description for this. Not worth the money
Looks nice, but the ribbon is really too large, pulled away from the back. It is cheaply made. Bought it for a gift, but decided against it after seeing it.
I love the picture and the words, but the "plaque" is just cardboard and arrived warped. I also didn't notice how thin it is. I can't gift this!! Save your money!
I love this beautiful print so much, I have it displayed in my office so that I can look at it throughout the work day. It keeps my thoughts positive and focused on the Lord.

The "Chucktown Throwdown Corn Hole Tournament," presented by the Mount Pleasant Exchange Club, raised more than $3,300, which will bolster the club's scholarships fund. The event included 16 sponsors, 48 teams, about 150 people and a live band. It was held April 7.
"(The) weather was perfect, barbeque was delicious and the band was awesome," Sheryl Bidwell, Exchange Club public relations coordinator, said.
Bidwell added that scholarship funds announcements and "several charity donations" will be presented during the organization's annual banquet. According to its Facebook page, the club gives scholarships to deserving high school seniors, "providing over $5,000 over four years to assist them with their college tuition."
The fund is called the Johnnie Dodds Exchange Club Scholarship in memory of the former Mount Pleasant mayor and honorary member of the club. "Johnnie believed every child deserved an education, and he worked tirelessly to raise monies to help local children further their education," the page noted.
The Exchange Club hosts a spring fundraiser every year, but this was the first time it was a corn hole tournament.
"Due to its success, we will be hosting another one next eyear even bigger and better," Bidwell said. The winning team, which earned $250, was made up of Alex Armstrong and Simba Tuppil.
The Exchange Club was formed in 1946 with a primary mission to prevent child abuse and assist local agencies serving victims after abuse.

Bullshidoka argument #32:
You cannot find helpful information on the internet. The internet is a poor medium as it is full of lies.
This is from a bygone era when this was true. It was even partially true when I fist joined. Nearly six years later and the internet is a great research TOOL.
Point out that during investigations that the internet isn't the only tool used. Also, point out that with newspaper articles, court documents, IP searches, and email, that the internet is a valuable tool. It is one of many ways used to verify credentials, exonerate a person or prove someone fraudulent.
Bullshidoka Argument #33: The good guy or I respect what he has done for me, the community or both argument.
This comes up constantly and examples include people that teach the poor to people that serve or have served in the military.
Point out that it is a good thing that this person helped, served, volunteered, taught for no profit or works with the community. Yet, it doesn't excuse questionable behavior like fraud, fake credentials, lying, or any other justification.

Style: Brazilian Jiu Jitsu--
I'm very interested in starting a discussion on questionable business/promo practices by MMA schools. I'm a student at a BJJ school, but work online and do marketing (also have a BA in journalism and worked in the field... until it truly pissed me off). I've seen gyms posting fake reviews of themselves, hiring content farms, etc... then using high pressure to get students to sign up.
Any thoughts as to whether or not this would be a worthy topic?

Interceptors allow arbitrary code to be included in the call stack for your action before and/or after processing the action, which can vastly simplify your code itself and provide excellent opportunities for code reuse. Many of the features of XWork and WebWork are implemented as interceptors and can be applied via external configuration along with your own Interceptors in whatever order you specify for any set of actions you define.
In other words, when you access a
*.action URL, WebWork's
ServletDispatcher proceeds to the invocation of the an action object. Before it is executed, however, the invocation can be intercepted by another object, that is hence called interceptor. To have an interceptor executed before (or after) a given action, just configure
xwork.xml properly, like the example below, taken from lesson 4.1.1:
As you can see, lesson 4.1.1's
formProcessing Action uses the
validationWorkflowStack. That is an interceptor stack, which organizes a bunch of interceptors in the order in which they are to be executed. That stack is configured in
webwork-default.xml, so all we have to do to use it is declare a
<interceptor-ref /> under the action configuration or a
<default-interceptor-ref />, under package configuration, as seen in lesson 3's first example:
But let's see how it works from scracth:
com.opensymphony.xwork.interceptor.Interceptor interface (bundled in
xwork.xml) using the element
<interceptor /> nested within
<interceptors />;
<interceptor-stack /> element (optional);
<interceptor-ref /> or
<default-interceptor-ref />. The former defines the interceptors to be used in a specific action, while the latter determines the default interceptor stack to be used by all actions that do not specify their own
<interceptor-ref />.
Looking inside
webwork-default.xml we can see how it's done:
Since we included
webwork-default.xml in our
xwork.xml, all the interceptors and stacks above are available for us to use in our actions. Here's what these interceptors do:
xwork.xml onto the action. These are the
<param /> tags that are direct children of the
<action /> tag;
ModelDriven, pushes the
getModel() result onto the Value Stack;
Action}-validation.xml (reference: Validation). We've seen an example of this in lesson 4.1.1;
INPUT view. Good to use together with the validation interceptor (reference: Validation);
HttpServletRequest and
HttpServletResponse (think twice before using this since this ties you to the Servlet API);
If none of the above interceptors suit your particular need, you will have to implement your own interceptor. Fortunately, this is an easy task to accomplish. Suppose we need an interceptor that places a greeting in the Session according to the time of the day (morning, afternoon or evening). Here's how we could implement it:
Let's take a look at our interceptor class first. As explained before, the interceptor must implement
com.opensymphony.xwork.interceptor.Interceptor's methods:
init(), called during interceptor initialization,
destroy(), called during destruction, and most importantly,
intercept(ActionInvocation invocation), which is where we place the code that does the work.
Notice that our interceptor returns the result from
invocation.invoke() which is the method responsible for executing the next interceptor in the stack or, if this is the last one, the action. This means that the interceptor has the power of short-circuiting the action invocation and return a result string without executing the action at all! Use this with caution, though.
One other thing that interceptors can do is execute code after the action has executed. To do that, just place code after the invocation.invoke() call. WebWork provides an abstract class that already implements this kind of behaviour:
com.opensymphony.xwork.interceptor.AroundInterceptor. Just extend it and implement the methods
before(ActionInvocation invocation) and
after(ActionInvocation dispatcher, String result).
xwork.xml configuration, the action class and the result page are pretty straightforward and require no further explanation.

Rated 4.1 out of 5Â by 7 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by BaroqueSpirit Elegant gown I thought this was going to be more casual like how the model is styled, but when I put it on, I decided that it could be an amazing gown worn to some parties that are borderline casual. Super cute, definitely worth the money. 2.12.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by punkinoo Love it! Love it! Just received this dress last week and after reading the reviews I was a little nervous about how it would look and fit!! That being said I instantly fell in love just taking it out of the package....the feel of the material was exceptional the beading nicely done... but what I was worried about is how it would fit and if it would look the same as the picture.. well after trying it on with several choices of shoes ,boots, shrugs I cant wait to wear it ...the fit is right on ..it feels great I am not disappointed with my purchase its a great addition to my wardrobe collection ...Thanks F.P. 2.11.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by kriskris love it!!! but too long :[ it's a beautiful dress and flows gracefully on the body. i got the xs and i'm unfortunately going to have to alter the length a bit "/ i'm 5'1 96 pounds, but it still fits a little big, it would fit perfectly for someone who's 5'10 and slender, but for the majority of women who are of average height, it needs altering. the good thing is that it could be worn casually or dressed up<3 2.10.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by 4pinav So Downton Abbey! I ordered a small, because that is all that was available. So the dress is quite big. I will have to take it to my seamstress and have her take it in at the armholes and a little along the side seams of the dress. It is a beautiful dress, I love the beading and the fabric. Definately a keeper. 2.9.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Loveorhate Stole My Heart Slip Initially, I was upset that this was not a silk slip as stated on FP web site, but when I received the dress I was in awe. This dress is stunning! The material is soft,not polyester, but viscose(natural material). The dress has nice flower pattern. The beads stand out. Runs a bit bigger, but not much. Comes with the soft mesh lining. The only drawback is that the armholes are bit big.Overall, great purchase! 1.8.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by taytum luxe in a roaring 20s way the other reviewer could not be more wrong about this. on a hanger, it looks like a simple slip, but on the body, it evokes luxury way beyond its cost. something like this is MEANT to be worn loose- it makes it more casually luxurious as opposed to looking like you were trying too hard. (NOT ALL FASHION IS ABOUT FITTING TO THE BODY, PEOPLE!) the material is viscose but it both feels and looks like lightweight china silk. the black floral design on the fabric adds to the texture of the look. all in all, this feels like something a wealthy girl in the 1920s would laze about her mansion in. the one drawback is the construction of the neckline. it is just serged closed, which isn't very accurate. you might find a loose thread or two stick out... 1.3.2013
Rated 1 out of 5Â by Bellarosdaniels Stay clear This slip is AWFUL. Do not even try to make it work. Firstly, the description states the material is silk, except for the embellishment. Well no, that's a complete lie. It is 100% polyester and has an awful itchy netting underneath it. I can't believe I paid over $20 for this fabric. It really makes me question fp because the description is completely misleading. It is also huge. I sized down thinking it would be sexier and come as pictured...nope. It looks like a trash bag. It's obviously been pulled taught behind the model's back. Seriously stay clear. 1.1.2013

NORTHRIDGE, Calif. - Cal State Northridge captured six event titles on Friday as both the Matador men and women carry team leads into Saturday's final day of competition at the Matador Track & Field Complex.
The Northridge women (79 points) carry a 14-point lead over UC Santa Barbara (65) into Saturday's competition. UC Davis is currently in third (39), Cal State Fullerton (31) is in fourth and Long Beach State (27) rounds out the top-five teams. Cal Poly (16), UC Riverside (14) and UC Irvine (2) completed the scoring on the women's side.
The Matador (67) men have a slim five-point cushion over Cal Poly (62) after seven events. UC Santa Barbara (56.5) is third followed by Long Beach State (42) and Cal State Fullerton (21.5) rounds out the top-five. UC Davis (13) is sixth, UC Riverside (11) is seventh and UC Irvine (0) rounded out the scoring on the men's side.
Northridge won the first two events of the day on Friday as Alex Butler won the men's hammer with a throw of 191-2 (58.28) and Morgan Bogard won the women's hammer with a toss of 189-6 (57.77). The Matador women earned a total of 13 points in the hammer as Whitney Hooks took sixth with a best of 159-11 (48.74). Northridge has now won the women's hammer three times in the last five years while Butler's win was the first since Brandon Goldstein took home the title in 2002.
The women's long jump finished up next with Shelese Ruffin defending her 2009 title giving CSUN its third consecutive win with a lifetime-best jump of 20-01 (6.12). Desirae Gonder also jumped a career-best 19-5.25 (5.92) to claim third giving the Matadors 16 points in the long jump.
In the men's high jump, Northridge senior Lance Gonzales took the top spot with a new personal best of 6-10.25 (2.09) while Reindell Cole also earned points by tying for seventh place with a best of 6-6.25 (1.99).

Gonzalez and Robert Mestas picked up 12 more points for the Matadors in the men's javelin. Gonzalez finished in second place with a best of 194-3 (59.22) and Mestas placed fifth after a best of 178-11 (54.54).
In the preliminaries of the 110 hurdles, Robert Robinson finished in a season-best time of 14.22 to finish third and advance to Saturday's final. Michael Woodham ran a lifetime-best 14.40 to take fifth and Gonzales was ninth in 14.79 to give Northridge three entires in the final.
The women's 400 meter preliminaries saw Ruffin and Jackie Harrison advance to Saturday's final after finishing second and third, respectively. Ruffin finished in a season-best time of 54.17 while Harrison clocked in at 55.45, also a season-best. Crystal Spears also qualified for the final on Saturday after finishing eighth in 56.99.

Freshman Tiana Webberley took first place after a best of 12-4.75 (3.78) and Megan Hill finished in a tie for second with a best of 11-10.75 (3.63). Cristi Allen did not score for the Matadors but cleared a lifetime-best 11-5 (3.48). Webberley's pole vault championship was Northridge's second since 1997. Krystal Quinn won the Matadors' first ever pole vault championship in 2008.
The Northridge women put two contenders in Saturday's 100 meter final as Precious Watkins and Sierra Brooks took first and second, respectively, in Friday's preliminaries. Each finished the race with a new season-best time, with Watkins finishing in 11.75 and Brooks finishing in 11.88.
As for the Northridge men, four Matadors qualified for Saturday's final in the 100 meters. Bradley Ike paced the Matadors by finishing first in a new personal-best 10.42, Cole was second in a personal-best 10.61, David Reid finished fourth in a personal-best 10.58 and Ben Santos finished seventh in 10.74.
The women produced three qualifiers for Saturday's 400 meter hurdles final. Batiste placed second after finishing in 61.23 and Vanice Colbert finished right behind her in 61.63, good for a new season best. Brenna Hoffman also qualified after running a lifetime-best 63.41 which was good for eighth in the prelims.
In the finals of the javelin throw, Stephanie Ralls placed third with a best of 139-10 (42.62) and Haylee Varner placed fourth with a best of 137-8 (41.96), earning 11 points for the Matadors.

Robinson placed third with a season-best jump of 24-6.25 (7.47) and Gonzales tied a personal best and finished seventh after a best of 23-1.75 (7.05). The Matador men have now won the Big West long jump competition six times in the last seven years.
The CSUN men produced four qualifiers for the 200 meter final on Saturday. Ike and Reid finished first and second, respectively, in the race, with Ike finishing in a personal-best 21.30 while Reid finishing in 21.42. Cole finished sixth in 21.83 while Nic Taylor finished seventh in 21.91 to round out the Matador qualifiers.

Despite breaking the meet record, Morejon's time was still well off her personal best of 34:28.34. UCSB's Danielle Domenichelli won the women's competition in 34:50.29, breaking an eight-year old meet record.
Saturday's final day of competition begins at noon with the women's triple jump, the first of eight finals in the field events. The first event on the track Saturday is the women's 4x100 relay at 3 p.m., as 20 event finals will take place on the track. The final event is the men's 4x400 relay at 5:55 p.m.

Hello and welcome to my FGXpress blog! I am proud to announce that I am starting to make myself more known online so I can help others with their business.
This is my first post, so I wanted to give just a brief overview on exactly why I choose FGXpress for financial freedom, and why I think you should too. Also, I will be going over what you need to look out for, and the best approach to be sure to help give you the best chance to see success.
That is a very fair overview on the compensation plan, however; don't get too excited!
The reason I say this is because people are led to believe that it is easier to make money with this company than it really is.
Don't get me wrong! I still think it is a great company that offers a great product, but I want to give people a fair warning on the reality of the situation. So what is the situation? The fact remains, only 5% see success in this industry. As crappy as that is, it is unavoidable. That is, if you do the same thing every upline in this industry recommends you do!
You see, we're all told to prospect to our family and friends, but do you really think you can see success with those tactics?
No of course you can't, at least 95% of us cannot see success with our warm market.
So what does that mean for us and our FGXpress business opportunities? It means we work smarter, not harder!
You see, there are tactics that can help give you a fighting chance. I first came across these tactics at FiveStarLeadPro.com and Mike, the guy who runs this training site, was able to give it to me straight.
I understand now the value of treating my business like a REAL business, and not it should be your turn. Stay tuned for my next blog post coming soon!

The devastating effects of disasters can have tremendous psychological impacts on those directly and indirectly. Affected individuals may have various stress reactions that present psychological, as well as physical symptoms.
However, there are steps that individuals can take for themselves and their families to mitigate and lessen the mental health impact felt by the community. After an event has passed, it is important to:
Keep informed about new information and developments, but avoid overexposure to news rebroadcasts of the events. Be sure to use credible information sources to avoid speculation and rumors.
Take control of what you can. If possible, stay out of heavily damaged areas that will cause you unnecessary stress and anxiety.
If you feel anxious, angry or depressed, you are not alone. Talk to friends, family or colleagues who likely are experiencing the same feelings.
Keep an open dialogue with children regarding their fears of danger and the disaster. Let them know that in time, the tragedy will pass. Don't minimize the danger, but talk about your ability to cope with tragedy and get through the ordeal.
Seek help if feelings of anxiety and depression continue, even after order has been restored, or if these feelings begin to overwhelm you.

Their pink nipples get bitten and their titties get tied individually with rope so the tongue can feel in control. Check out these pain and fucked filled videos now!

YouTube Down For Almost an Hour
Believe it or not, YouTube has been inaccessible in any corner of the world for about an hour. Among other consequences, all the sites that embed YouTube videos will load much slower and you won't be able to play the videos. OpenDNS has an explanation for this: "Youtube.com is down right now because Pakistan Telecom has decided to (accidentally probably) hijack their IP address space which means that nobody in the world can reach Youtube." The Pakistani government blocked the access to YouTube "because of content deemed offensive to Islam".
If you know more about this, tell us in the comments.
Update: the site seems to be back.
