Charles is a masculine given name from the French form Charles of a Germanic name Karl. The original Anglo-Saxon was Ċearl or Ċeorl, as the name of king Cearl of Mercia, that disappeared after the Norman conquest of England.
The corresponding Old Norse form is Karl, the German form is also Karl. The name was notably borne by Charlemagne (Charles the Great), and was at the time Latinized as Karolus (as in Vita Karoli Magni), later also as Carolus.
The name's etymology is a Common Germanic noun *karlaz meaning "free man", which survives in English as churl (< Old English ċeorl), which developed its deprecating sense in the Middle English period.
In the form Charles, the initial spelling ch- corresponds to the palatalization of the Latin group ca- to [tʃa] in Central Old French (Francien) and the final -s to the former subjective case (cas sujet) of masculine names in Old French like in Giles or James (< Latin -us, see Spanish/ Portuguese Carlos).
According to Julius Pokorny, the historical linguist and Indo-Europeanist, the root meaning of Karl is "old man", from Indo-European *ĝer-, where the ĝ is a palatal consonant, meaning "to rub; to be old; grain." An old man has been worn away and is now grey with age.
The President of the Republic of Liberia is the head of state and government of Liberia. The president serves as the leader of the executive branch and as commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Liberia.
Prior to the independence of Liberia in 1847, executive power in the Commonwealth of Liberia was held by the Governor of Liberia, who was appointed by the American Colonization Society. The 1847 Constitution transferred the executive powers of the governorship to the presidency, which was largely modeled on the presidency of the United States.
Between 1847 and 1980, the presidency was exclusively held by Americo-Liberians, the original American settlers of Liberia and their descendants. The original two-party system, with the Republican Party and the True Whig Party, ended in 1878, when the election of Anthony W. Gardiner marked the beginning of 102 years of single-party rule by the True Whigs. Following a coup d'état by disgruntled army officers led by Samuel Doe in 1980, the presidency was vacated until the election of Doe in the 1985 general election. After the overthrow of Doe in 1990, the presidency was again vacated for seven years during the First Liberian Civil War and again for two years following the conclusion of the Second Liberian Civil War in 2003.

This was the first of the 2008 Berkley Center lectures on the topic "Narratives of Secularity." The lectures surveyed the master narratives which have underpinned secularization, explored more adequate ones, and hazarded a picture of the present predicament of religion and spirituality in the West. Charles Taylor is one of the world's leading scholars working at the intersection of religion, secularity, and modernity. A p...
Professor Charles Taylor (McGill University, Canada) delivers his Lectio Magistralis at the Pontifical Gregorian University on March 5, 2015.
The Ethics of Authenticity, Harvard University Press (1992). Charles Taylor focuses on the key modern concept of self-fulfillment, often attacked as the central support of what Christopher Lasch has called "the culture of narcissism." To Taylor, self-fulfillment, although often expressed in self-centered ways, isn't necessarily a rejection of traditional values and social commitment; it also reflects something authentic and valuable in modern culture. Only by distinguishing what is good in this modern striving from what is socially and politically dangerous, Taylor says, can our age be made to deliver its promise.

Rev. Harris Interview Charles Taylor His Daughter Was Kidnap By Mother.
Every time when it gets rough,
Some people just go and hide,
Worrying that it's too tough
And they don't look inside.
I'm gonna fall on my knees,
Humble myself and say,
"Lord, I need a little more help",
"can you just make a way".
Bridge 1:
Through what I feel
(Right now) I just can't deal,
Give me peace
('cause Lord) I need relief.
You love me
(Enough to) show You care,
That's why I stay in prayer.
Chorus
Verse 2:
When it's good, got out the 'hood,
Money just ain't a thing,
Feeling like ya did it yourself,
So ya just ain't caring.
What about keeping in touch
With the One who gives life,
Took away all of your sins
And carried you through your strife.
Chorus
Bridge 2:
It is by grace (that I live),
I can't replace (what God gives).
Chorus
Vamp 1:
Doing just fine, doing just fine.
Better than okay, better than okay.
Vamp 2:
Better than okay, better than okay.
Better than okay, better than okay.
