The Liberty Champion The official student newspaper of Liberty University The Worship Collective has recently released their newest single “Victory,”a song that speaks triumph to the struggles that students are currently facing The popularity and impact of the release of “Victory” in the past few weeks were unexpected by the Collective both seniors and members of the Worship Collective were blown away by hearing so many testimonies through Instagram Harris said he did not expect the music video to rack up so many views the number of video views are not important – what is important is that those views mean “Victory” is ministering to people  Both Harris and Bocsa’s passion for songwriting shares similar origin Both can recall the intense need to scribble down lyrics or sing a melody into their phones between classes in high school “Both of us were kind of songwriters before we came to the Collective,” Harris said have to get (their thoughts) on paper in order to process.” Harris and Bocsa were encouraged to stretch their skills by learning to co-write Through scheduled sessions with professional songwriters they would brainstorm with other Collective members “We started by just sharing where we were at because you have to write from a place of sincerity and from your heart,” Bocsa said alum Rachel Halbach and advisors Jacob Sooter and Meredith Andrews helped to flesh out the song Harris added that as they came together with their ideas it was clear that the theme of victory was on everyone’s mind and we were all tired and just were like ‘I really need to sing a song that reminds me of truth,’” Harris said After almost four hours of working on the piece “Victory” began to come together as a song that proclaimed that triumph comes from God regardless of how little humanity brings to the table “I remember we took a break; I went to the bathroom and I came out with the bridge,” Harris said said “Victory” describes the heart of the Worship Collective and Liberty University as a whole “Our victory in Christ is not reliant on us “This song really screams out Christ’s heart for us.”  Bocsa and Rivera described a similar sense of duty that comes with the call to write songs for a congregation – whether in church you are responsible with building up someone’s theology through song,” Bocsa said Rivera added that with anxiety and fear being common issues that students at Liberty deal with “There’s no one that knows our students better when it comes to where we are than the people who are walking beside them,” Rivera said “How amazing is it that we get to write for our students to sing over our students in the season that they’re in?”  Bocsa hopes that this song helps others begin to speak out the promises of God and communicate with Him more freely Harris said that if “Victory” can build community and resonate with the hearts of students “There’s something so humbling about standing on a stage and hearing the words God gave you in an intimate moment being sung in extreme intimacy,” Harris said Bocsa and Harris believe “Victory” should not just be their own expression of worship to God; they want it to be an anthem that all Liberty students can hold on to As the Collective continues to write and release music Rivera emphasized that it’s a privilege to write music that ministers both to students at Liberty  “We’re excited that God decided to use us,” Rivera said Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value" '+n.escapeExpression("function"==typeof(o=null!=(o=r(e,"eyebrowText")||(null!=l?r(l,"eyebrowText"):l))?o:n.hooks.helperMissing)?o.call(null!=l?l:n.nullContext||{},{name:"eyebrowText",hash:{},data:t,loc:{start:{line:28,column:63},end:{line:28,column:78}}}):o)+" \n '+(null!=(o=c(e,"if").call(r,null!=l?c(l,"cta2PreText"):l,{name:"if",hash:{},fn:n.program(32,t,0),inverse:n.noop,data:t,loc:{start:{line:63,column:20},end:{line:63,column:61}}}))?o:"")+"\n"+(null!=(o=(c(e,"ifAll")||l&&c(l,"ifAll")||n.hooks.helperMissing).call(r,null!=l?c(l,"cta2Text"):l,null!=l?c(l,"cta2Link"):l,{name:"ifAll",hash:{},fn:n.program(34,t,0),inverse:n.noop,data:t,loc:{start:{line:64,column:20},end:{line:70,column:30}}}))?o:"")+" 2023Photo: Michael Loccisano/Getty ImagesSave this storySaveSave this storySave“When I first met Karl he told me that fashion didn’t belong in a museum.” So began Andrew Bolton’s remarks during the press preview for “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty,” the new show at the Costume Institute at The Metropolitan Museum of Art opening on Friday “He never changed his opinion,” the head curator at the Costume Institute continued “but he also never declined any of our requests to include his work in our many exhibitions.” Such contradictions are emblematic of the late designer whose six-decade career at some of fashion’s most iconic houses is the subject of the exhibition “The serpentine line signified his historicist and the straight line denoted his modernist Photo: Michael Loccisano/Getty ImagesThose lines intersect into further dichotomies explored in particular galleries including feminine and masculine both through the creation of his persona and the way he referenced his own self through his work culminating in a room where so-called Karl aphorisms are presented via iPhone screens mixed in with the sound of the designer laughing But even if the focus remains on his creative output rather than his work the work would not be what it is if Lagerfeld weren’t who he was; and so Carla Bruni-Sarkozy delivered a touching tribute to the designer with whom she often collaborated back in her modeling days “Despite his charisma and his creative power despite the energy he diffused and which animated him despite the bewitching charm of his brilliant and sharp mind which as you can see is so well represented in this exhibition it is his kindness that I remember the most,” she shared Met Gala 2023: See Every Celebrity Arrival See All of the Celebrity Looks From the Met Gala 2023 Red Carpet: 1 / 100ChevronChevronPhoto: Getty ImagesRihanna and A$AP Rocky in Valentino, Bvlgari and Belperron JewelryEven More on the 2023 Met Gala:Met Gala 2023 Red Carpet: See Every Celebrity Look, Outfit, and Dress Everything You Need to Know About the 2023 Met Gala Where to Watch the 2023 Met Gala Livestream Tonight Get Live Updates from the Red Carpet with Vogue’s Live Blog See Every Met Gala Look From the Last Decade The 31 Best Met Gala Beauty Looks of All Time On the Podcast: The Ins and Outs of Planning the Met Gala Meet This Year’s Met Gala Co-Chairs Bexon Harrison recently focused full time on swimming after doing that and water polo for much of his high school career Louisville head coach and CSCAA President Arthur Albiero co-led an NCAA Division I breakout session where coaches discussed the marketability of the sport who has worked with swimmers to optimize performance through data and analysis of stroke techniques January 10th, 2016 College, NCAA Division I Mid-Major, News, Previews & Recaps The North Texas Mean Green took down  the University of San Diego  on Saturday while on their training trip in  California 62-48 The meet was a Shootout format that featured the 400 medley as well as the 400 IM and  50’s  in each stroke The Mean Green started the meet off strong taking a 1-3 finish in the 400 medley relay and Bianca Bocsa touched the wall first in 3:54.43 also took a first place finish in the 50 back (26.59) and third in the 50 free (25.12) Vaisse also had a strong showing over the weekend where she took first in the 50 breast (30.58) Mackenna Briggs of San Diego won the 400 IM besting the field by over two seconds (4:34.14) Claudia Kitching of North Texas and MK Clancy of San Diego rounded out the top three touching in 5:08.67- both first place finishes were also career-best times for the freshman  The only other non-50 individual event on the day was the 200 free Isabelle Morris  barely touched out the field She was closely followed by San Diego’s Jackie Taylor (1:53.66) North Texas head coach stated in a press release that the “meet was less about the time and more about dealing with adversity and getting their hand on the wall.” The Mean Green have one more scrimmage  while in California against San Diego State on January 12th They’ll then compete against University of Arkansas-Little Rock and Southern Illinois on January 16th  San Diego State returns to action on the 15th and 16th at the Beach Cup- where they’ll compete against Pepperdine Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_2" ).setAttribute( "value" Alesha (Olesen) Breckon began her swimming career when her parents put a pool in the back yard They enrolled Alesha and her brother in the local summer league in an effort to make sure they were "water safe."

perhaps Germanic - origin who lived in the first half of the 7th century in a village situated close to today's Kölked Their jewels of unparalelled beauty hint to their nobility and their far-reaching contacts towards the Late Antique world as well as the newly forming Europe of the Early Middle Ages The group of people living once at the village unearthed near Kölked must have been an important one among the communities of foreign - that is not Avar - ethnic origins living in the early Avar empire With the help of the technical partners involved in the CEMEC project high-tech implementation became possible: our Avars are revived through the Crossculture Timeline In mid-February, the Paris Court of Appeal decided to sentence Nicolas Sarkozy, former President of the French Republic, to six months in prison (he also received an additional suspended sentence of six months) the politician committed illegal campaign financing back in 2012 using a PR company to conceal the true extent of his presidential campaign expenses Sarkozy’s lawyer claimed his client to be innocent and will therefore appeal to the Supreme Court during which Sarkozy can retain his liberty The politician hastily left the courtroom after the verdict had been announced Nicolas Paul Stéphane Sarkozy de Nagy-Bocsa was born in 1955 in Paris His father was Hungarian nobleman Pál Sárközy de Nagy-Bócsa (taking his name from the village of Bócsa in Bács-Kiskun County Pál Sárközy emigrated to France during World War II he was sent off to a private school in Monaco He went on to study law at the University of Paris-Nanterre had a profound impact on the young Sarkozy’s views: he rejected the leftist ideas of the 68-ers and joined a right-wing student organization He later enrolled at elite institution Sciences Po where he would ultimately leave his studies unfinished Later on they would both bring about a similar brand of right-wing politics in their respective homelands He became a municipal representative at a relatively young age proceeding to be elected mayor of Neuilly-sur-Seine in 1983 becoming one of the youngest city leaders in the country also struck a tone of criticism towards immigrants and Islam His tough stance made Sarkozy popular within the right especially as he used a heavy hand to quell the 2005 riots that broke out in the banlieues the predominantly immigrant-populated slums Sarkozy also extended penalties for juvenile offenders and tightened immigration regulations as well who ascended to the leadership of the UMP in 2004 not only aimed to solve the problem of the suburban riots but also turned them into an advantage by using them as a tool to promote his anti-immigration views he proposed a quota system to restrict immigration novel approach proved to be fruitful: in 2007 he won the presidential election against socialist Ségolène Royal One of Sarkozy’s first presidential achievements was the successful negotiation of the release of French hostages from captivity by Colombian guerrillas he also secured the release of Bulgarian nurses sentenced to death in a Libyan show trial In exchange for aid and trade opportunities Libya not only released the healthcare workers but also commenced stricter surveillance of migrants from sub-Saharan Africa effectively becoming Europe’s border guard Sarkozy therefore managed to make a virtue out of necessity; turning the forced negotiations with Libya’s hostage-taking dictator to the benefit to France and Europe He also ensured that the aid streams to Libya would be made permanent in exchange for restraining the waves of migration His former business partner and ideological comrade Silvio Berlusconi also assisted him in the negotiations due to the effects of the 2008 global economic crisis he was forced to eventually turn towards interventionism and pro-Israel direction – always acting pragmatically As the uprisings escalated beyond a certain point he ultimately supported the Western intervention against Gaddafi the socialist François Hollande defeated Sarkozy in the 2012 presidential elections Sarkozy would temporarily retire from politics after an unsuccessful bid in the primaries of the renamed conservative party Nicolas Sarkozy once declared himself to be As a member of the UMP and later The Republicans the traditional and dominant French right-wing ideology he also developed his own ideological framework referred to as “Sarkozyism.” It’s important to note that until the emergence of Emmanuel Macron the leading parties of the French right and left functioned as catch-all parties covering a significant portion of the political spectrum the right-wing big tent party represented various factions ranging from the sovereigntist far-right to traditional Gaullists as well as liberals Fundamentally, Sarkozy was aligned with the party’s more right-wing factions, but he did not belong to the extreme right. Unlike the sovereigntists, he was a consistent supporter of deeper European integration. During his presidency, he sought to have France adopt the EU’s Constitution – unsuccessfully he was opposed on many issues to the more moderate Chirac he transitioned from being Chirac’s protégé to his counterweight within the right-wing emphasising the necessity for radical change Economic neoliberalism was one of the cornerstones of his views France operates a relatively generous welfare state with one of the most extended rights to strike workers’ unions sometimes defend their privileges with violent demonstrations But there is also a tradition for a state-controlled economy within the French right including protective tariffs and social welfare It was this taboo that Sarkozy broke when he decided to prioritise tax reduction and the reform of French welfare politics Such radicalism and taboo-breaking was often accompanied by the emergence of a mild personality cult Some analysts have likened Sarkozyism to Bonapartism while others would even point to its parallels with Jacobinism The ideology is partially based on an emphasis on the nation-state It can also be stated that Sarkozyism is not a developed ideology but rather an anti-ideology the essence of which is shaking up out-dated structures and cultural taboos This is another reason why Sarkozy is often compared to Berlusconi who carried out similarly radical reforms within the Italian right he was a guest at a state dinner at the French presidential palace his radical program set the nation on fire pushing many French citizens into the arms of Le Pen’s far right or the radical left led by Jean-Luc Mélenchon also breaking the dominance of traditional catch-all parties remains the strongest formation in the French National Assembly Sarkozy’s influence on Macron is undeniable and even in the shadow of his looming prison sentence he remains a significant figure on the political chessboard the transformation of political and social systems – early medieval Europe is not nearly as far from our present days One of our main characters is a venerable Avar chief The chief was buried with the most outstanding pieces of his treasury The protagonists of the other story are two ladies of foreign -
