(USA) Online ISSN: 2249-460x & Print ISSN: 0975-587X Perspectives of Women Victims of Wealthy Batterers: Is Justice Served? By Diana Bruns Southeast Missouri State University, United States Abstract- While domestic violence occurs in all demographical realms (races, ethnicities, classes, educational levels), research has been limited regarding wealthy batterers. Although domestic abuse is more visible in lower-class communities, abuse in high socio-economic classes remains hidden. Qualitative data from 12 survivors of wealthy and/or affluent batterers defined asupper middle class or upper class examines perspectives of victims of wealthy batterers to investigate if and how such victims face injustices due to the batterer’s wealth and prominence in the communities in which they live. As additional research is conducted on wealthy batterers, police, prosecutors, and judges may provide better treatment and protection, as they too, will become better prepared in dealing with wealthy and powerful batterers and minimize injustices or prejudice to toward the victims.

Identification: Collection 066 Extent: 33 boxes (13 linear feet) Language: English. Repository: Southwestern Writers Collection, The Wittliff Collections, Alkek Library, Texas State University-San Marcos Scope and Contents Note The Willie Nelson Recording Collection spans 1954-2010, chronicling the career of renowned Texas singer, songwriter, and bandleader. The collection contains 877 recordings, including LPs, 45 rpms, audio cassettes, compact discs, VHS cassettes, and DVDs. Included in the collection are recordings under Nelson’s leadership as well as recordings on which he is a guest musician, producer, or songwriter. Highlights from the collection include Nelson’s first 45 rpm record released under his name, “No Place For Me” b/w “Lumberjack” (pictured above), numerous live recordings, studio demos, and deluxe-edition CDs with rare and previously unreleased material.

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.

  • The Scars That Have Shaped Me: How God Meets Us in Suffering
    “Vaneetha writes with creativity, biblical faithfulness, com- pelling style, and an experiential authenticity that draws other sufferers in. Here you will find both a tested life and a love for the sovereignty of a good and gracious God.” —JOHN PIPER, author of Desiring God; founder and teacher, desiringGod.org “The Scars That Have Shaped Me will make you weep and rejoice not just because it brims with authenticity and integrity, but because every page points you to the rest that is found in entrusting your life to one who is in complete control and is righteous, powerful, wise, and good in every way.” —PAUL TRIPP, pastor, author, international conference speaker “I could not put this book down, except to wipe my tears. Reading Vaneetha’s testimony of God’s kindness to her in pain was exactly what I needed; no doubt, many others will feel the same. The Scars That Have Shaped Me has helped me process my own grief and loss, and given me renewed hope to care for those in my life who suffer in various ways. Reveling in the sovereign grace of God in your pain will bolster your faith like nothing this world can offer, and Vaneetha knows how to lead you to this living water.” —GLORIA FURMAN, author of Missional Motherhood and Alive in Him “When we are suffering significantly, it’s hard to receive truth from those who haven’t been there. But Vaneetha Risner’s credibility makes us willing to lean in and listen. Her writing is built on her experience of deep pain, and in the midst of that her rugged determination to hold on to Christ.” —NANCY GUTHRIE, author of Hearing Jesus Speak into Your Sorrow “I have often wondered how Vaneetha Risner endures suffering with such amazing joy, grace, and perseverance.
