(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.

    A Preliminary Inventory of the Willie Nelson Recording Collection 1954-2010 Collection 066 Descriptive Summary Creator: Artificial Collection Title: The Willie Nelson Recording Collection Dates: 1954-2010 Abstract: 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. 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. Some of Nelson’s earliest recordings as a guest musician and songwriter are featured in the collection that represents the bulk of Nelson’s official discography. The collection is arranged chronologically by publication date. Not every recording is dated, and some are listed with an approximate date of release. Some recordings are listed by their original release date, not the date of production of that particular disc, cassette, etc. For example, The Troublemaker was originally released on LP in 1976.

  • 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.

  • Effects May Be Delivered by Touch
    Prophecy LARP Rulebook By Area Effect An opponent may say “<Incantation> Area Effect <Effect>”. This affects EVERYONE within the sound of the caster’s voice, regardless of whether they can see the caster. Covering your ears so that you cannot hear will not stop the magic, and is considered cheating! Some area effect magic will also have a Level. In this case, it will affect anyone with a “Level of Resistance” less than the level of the effect that is within the sound of the caster’s voice. If you are so far away that you hear only a garbled cry and cannot make out what the caster is saying, you are not affected. Another type of Area Effect may be called “to the room.” In this case, all individuals in the room where the effect is called will be affected. “To the room” cannot be called outdoors. By Touch Some magical effects may be delivered by touch. This may only be done to a willing or helpless target! The caster should lightly touch the target with a hand-held spell packet to signify the “touch”. By Type Some Effects may be specific to one or more type of creature or characteristic. In this case the Type will be stated after the Effect, for example “Charm Undead”. If you are not of the indicated type, you will not be affected. By Name Some Effects may be specific to you by name. In this case the opponent will state: “By name <Your Name> <Incantation> <Effect> <Level>”. Your “Level of Resistance” is HALVED against such a spell (round down).
