Trying to get them to actually just look at the letters I had received from lawyers, victim/witness assistance providers, Attorney Generals from various States, various association leaders, and many others.

All part of my 224 613 Project. I had been trying to get the help of CEOs, social workers, psychiatrists, psychologists, movie stars, movie directors, movie studio heads, soap opera stars, soap opera writers, advertisers, etc. to spotlight the problem that these received letters showed.

Future Annual Meeting Dates and Locations Will be interesting to see what happens in these future AALL meetings.

8656 views now as of 07/07/2017. 7-7-7. Cool. This is about my 26.6 or so years of working to help survivors/victims of crimes. My 224 613 Project. London was sure interesting in the 2017 movie Wonder Woman yesterday. I had not noticed that the first time I saw this great movie.

I have mentioned this Project on-and-off since at least 2008 on TOTV.

From "Re: Resource for finding support for those with mental illness"

Old 03-06-2008, 06:35 PM

Had some of my own experiences with depression brought on from my lack of finding employment in law or any other kind of librarianship due to my (1991 +) obsession with victims' rights information in libraries or accessible through libraries.

So, I do know a little but not very much about mental illness.

These local National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) groups seem to be very helpful though. Have contacted some of them from time to time trying to get them to help with getting practical information into libraries for crime victims as I am sure they get depressed too as would anyone who feels like he or she has little control over various events in his or her life.

For example, one Tennessee man in the military back on Findlaw's message boards in late 2003 was trying to get help for his former 20 year old or so girlfriend who had seen her mother get murdered when she was 6 or so. She was having serious mental health problems and had been picked up by the local (KY?) police but the cops let her go for some reason after only a few hours even though she was wandering around late one cold night with very little clothing on and had various scars on her arms from suicide attempts.

The Findlaw message board ex-boyfriend was looking for guidance on what he could do to help his friend.

Unfortunately, the young woman drove her car into oncoming traffic around New Year's Eve 2003 and died from her injuries not too soon afterwards.

Do think that groups like NAMI Microsoft Azure Web App - Error 404 could have helped this man and his ex-girlfriend.

Hope that what I post on TOTV can help people too who are looking for useful information in the Support Group section.

Yes, but take that and divide by the number of posts...this thread is older, but not as popular as other threads (such as the one titled "more interesting than..."

He means this which is dirty jokes and a few good ones. I am writing about helping survivors/victims of crimes and he is posting dirty jokes. Some others chime in too. And some of these are about Obama much fewer aimed at Donald John Trump.

This one is not bad-- https://www.talkofthevillages.com/fo...0-post340.html

It looks like a Paddy Joke but could be original(?)--

Back to my first post on this thread. I made this on-- 04-16-2017, 04:57 PM. 682 posts later. Most of these are mine with quite a lot also by cyber harassers of all political persuasions. It has been the Republicans since 1991 who have helped me more with this than the Democrats because this is about putting limits on government through access to the best practical information. Mainly for survivors/victims of crimes. Ordinary people armed with intelligence. And digging for information while thinking critically about what they find. A tough thing to do in the land of Donald John Trump.

This should help though--

1) The political forum is NOT moderated. If you do not like the discussions in the political forum you should unsubscribe and remove yourself from them. 2) Your disagreements and tone from the political forum should NOT carry over into the main moderated forums. Infractions and user account suspensions will be issued if this is necessary to maintain the integrity of the TOTV website non political forums. 3) If you do not like the discussions or interactions with any specific user(s) we suggest you add them to your 'Ignore List' which is a feature of the website (click on usercp to add a user) so you do not have to interact with anyone that YOU do not choose to interact with. Even though YOU as the user must make the decision to be subscribed to the political forum and if you are going to add a user to your ignore list we strongly encourage those who do remain for all that is American, have mature civil discussions about viewpoints without lowering their own personal beliefs, standards and morals. If you can't you should consider removing yourself from the political forum.

Thanks to the Moderator for doing that. And the "Quote Post" Then scroll down feature so you can see who wrote the last ten posts in the TOTV Political Forum.

Noticed that I wrote an e-mail to maybe 150+ librarians (law and public), victim/witness assistance providers, politicians, law professors, and others about the Florida Victim Services Directory and getting something like it in their states or if their state had it making sure it is linked from their law and other libraries. This was on 7/27/2000 at 7:03:06 PM EST.

Victim Services Directory


I had talked to someone at the FL Attorney General's Office about how current the Directory was kept and how best to access it. The paper copy that they had in 2000 was too hard to keep up to date.

What's in your library?

I had been sending out many e-mails in the 2000s. Some of these were quite strange, admittedly, but many of them were not. And many of these went to a few hundred people at once.

These e-mails were going to law and public librarians in the largest law and public libraries in the United States as well as various local librarians in the Tampa Bay area.

I did have various writers and/or celebrities on my list of correspondents as well for years. A few of those are still house hold names.

The big question is do any of these bigwigs I contacted about improving materials of a practical nature in libraries of all kinds for survivors/victims of crimes notice the things I have been rather keenly aware over the past few years? I had started writing people in 1991 about a niche in this area and have not let up on trying to do something about this niche and they have sometimes done things. But what is useful in the Villages might not be so useful in the backwoods of Alaska. And NYC would have many more avenues through which to get help say compared to Bushnell, FL.

Local people need to assess what is in their local law, public, medical, and school libraries for survivors/victims of crimes.

There are also those government web-sites where you write in the message that you want them perhaps to read like one I sent to the Alabama Attorney General about the Florida Victim Services Directory on July 28, 2000.

It basically just said that I had mentioned to get the Florida Victim Services Directory connected to 10 Florida library web-sites.

Almost anyone who used a public library or a college/university library would be familiar with the various products of Information Access Company.

I worked under a very nice man named Robert Lee in the Area Business Databank Group where we indexed and abstracted regional business magazines as well as general newspapers and other magazines.

I raided the Legal Resource Index Group's refuse pile for items about Victimology and Law Reviews on articles on survivors/victims of crimes materials. I wound up writing all the scholars in one of these volumes around the world about my ideas about practical information for survivors/victims of crimes. Received many very honest answers.

I do not know what happened with magazines like The Sporting News Sporting News - Wikipedia and those issues when we no longer needed them for indexing. I suppose they went home with the managers who had been there the longest.

I probably did index and abstract some NY based business magazines about the real estate developments of Donald John Trump. Donald Trump - Wikipedia

9007 views of my thread of my 25.6 year 224 613 Project to empower survivors/victims of crimes through access to practical information available through or in libraries. This is as of 9:00 EST AM 7/09/2017. Happy BD Tom Hanks.

I sure sent out a lot of e-mails back in the early 2000s. And many of these went to Australia, Germany, France, Mexico, Brazil, Sweden, Turkey, Hungary, Canada and various other countries as well as the US. None to USSR nor Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Syria but many to Israel.

Most sent out of the US would have gone to Great Britain and Canada though then Mexico.

However, I only actually went to one of these in Dallas, Texas in 1984 with a group of MA library graduates and we stayed at the Texas Women's University just outside of Dallas in Denton.
