 papal Nuncio with the authority of a Legatus a latere to the Serene Republic of Venice. <mask> was appointed Archbishop of Milan, on the recommendation of King Philip II, by Pope Paul IV on 16 December 1556. Pope Paul and the Spanish were on bad terms, however, and the Spanish governor of Milan, Juan de Fonseca, refused to admit the new archbishop to the city, alleging that he had no instructions from the King on the subject of Archinto, and needed to send to Spain for new orders. Archinto therefore withdrew to Bergamo, whose bishop, Victor Superantius, had been deposed for heresy. As the Metropolitan, he assumed administratorship of that church.The Pope granted him the use of the pallium (a symbolic decorative scarf) on 20 September 1577. The King finally replied to Fonseca with definitive orders on 15 January 1558, and on 8 February Fonseca wrote to <mask>, promising him a splendid possessio ceremony, in which he himself would take part. His death at Bergamo of a lenta febre on 21 June 1558 prevented his installation in the archiepiscopal chair of Milan. His published works include De fide et sacramentis edictum (Rome 1545; Cracow, 1545; Ingolstadt 1546; Turin, 1549), issued in his capacity as Vicar of the city of Rome; and Oratio de nova christiani orbis pace habita (Rome, 1544), a speech given in the presence of Pope Paul III, lauding his efforts to bring peace between Francis I of France and the Emperor Charles V.

In addition to his painting and printmaking, <mask> has maintained a lifelong interest in the work of French Impressionist painter, Berthe Morisot (1841–1895). He co-curated the exhibition Berthe Morisot: Impressionist (1987), organized by Mount Holyoke College Art Museum in association with the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC, and contributed an essay to the accompanying catalogue. His essays on Morisot have also been published in Manet and the Sea (Philadelphia Museum of Art, 2003) Mujeres Impresionistas/Women Impressionists (Museo de Bellas Artes de Bilbao, 2001), and (the forthcoming) Berthe Morisot – Woman Impressionist (a 2018–2019 traveling exhibition organized by the Barnes Foundation, Philadelphia).

Since 2011 he is a board member and chair of the Collections Committee at Woodmere Art Museum in Philadelphia. <mask>’s artworks blur the boundaries between abstraction and representation. Drawing from both nature and imagination, the paintings are not expressions of tangible realities but rather "ephemeral remembrances". Exploration of color and form stands at the core of <mask>’s work, where blocks of color, patterns and line are overlapped to form dynamic compositions that appear visually akin to collage. The paintings rely on extremely vivid color palettes, applied

 in fields of color that evoke both urban and pastoral scenes. In this sense, <mask>’s work continues the tradition of abstracted landscapes mastered by aestheticist artists such as Whistler.The artist continually turns to flora and fauna for his subjects, stating that "underbrush and floral subjects have long been recurrent-if not paramount-to my painted imagery." In the past decade many of <mask>’s artworks display direct engagement with specific historical paintings by artists of particular significance to his own artistic development such as Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841–1914), Berthe Morisot (1841–1895) and Henri Matisse (1869–1954). In paintings of the past decade their works imprint themselves directly onto <mask>’s own work, whereby he translates formal qualities of these master’s works onto abstract and colorful canvases.

<mask> (died 279) was a Xianbei chieftain who lived during the Three Kingdoms period of China. As the leader of the Xianbei tribe in Hexi, he led a great rebellion against the ruling Jin dynasty (266–420) between 270 and 279. <mask> killed many of the Jin generals sent against him and contributed to delaying Emperor Wu of Jin’s plans to conquer Eastern Wu. The rebellion peaked in 279 with <mask>’s capture of Liang Province, but that same year would also see its end, as <mask> was decisively defeated and killed by the Jin general, Ma Long. <mask>'s great-great-grandnephew, <mask>gu, was the founder of the Xianbei Southern Liang state during the Sixteen Kingdoms period. Life

Background
<mask>'s grandfather was <mask> (禿髮壽闐) and his great-grandfather was Pigu (匹孤). Pigu was the son of the Tuoba Xianbei chieftain Tuoba Jifen (拓跋詰汾) and his brother was Tuoba Liwei.Pigu led his branch of Xianbei to Hexi when Tuoba Liwei succeeded their father as chieftain in 218. There are two theories as to how the Tufa got their name. The first being that the words 'Tufa' (禿髮) and 'Tuoba' (拓拔) were homonyms, and is used as a derogatory term against Pigu's branch since Tufa meant 'bald hair'. The other, more traditional view is that it was Shoutian who named the clan 'Tufa' after his nickname. It was purported that Shoutian was born on a blanket. 'Tufa' in the Xianbei language meant 'blanket', and so Shoutian was called as such. Shoutian died in an unknown year and was succeeded by his grandson, Tufa Shujineng.Shujineng was described by historians as both brave and resolute as well as cunning and crafty. Rebellion against Jin

The Prince of Fufeng, Sima Liang, was supposed to send reinforcements through his subordinate Liu Qi (劉旂) to aid Hu Lie, but Liu refused to move his troops. Emperor Wu of Jin wanted to punish Liu Qi, but Sima Liang defended him and lost his post in the process. With the removal of Sima Liang, Shi Jian (石鉴) and Tian Zheng (田章) were sent instead by Emperor Wu to put down the uprising. Shi Jian ordered his subordinate, Du Yu, to attack Shujineng.However, Du Yu remonstrated him, stating that the enemy were still riled up from their recent victories, as opposed to the demoralized Jin troops, and that they should wait until the following year to attack. Du Yu's words angered Shi Jian, who had him sent back to Luoyang in a prison cart. Shi Jian carried out his original plans, but he too could not defeat Shujineng. In 271, Shujineng was joined by the various tribes of Beidi (北地, in present-day Qingyang, Gansu) in his invasion of Jincheng (金城; around present-day Yuzhong County, Gansu). The Inspector of Liang Province, Qian Hong, led his troops to fight Shujineng, but Qiang troops within Qian's army, dissatisfied by his mistreatment of them, rebelled and join Shujineng. Qian Hong was killed in battle at Mount Qing (青山, located in Huan county, Gansu province) after Shujineng and his allies surrounded his army. Qian Hong's replacement as Inspector of Liang, Su Yu (蘇愉) was also routed and killed by Shujineng at Mount Jin (金山, located in Shandan county, Gansu province) later that year.While <mask>'s revolt was happening, a Xiongnu uprising

 occurred in Bing Province led by Liu Meng (劉猛) in 271. Fortunately for Jin, this revolt was quickly put down by Hu Fen in 272. Shujineng created so much concern for Emperor Wu that he was unable to eat until late in the day. Two of his ministers, Ren Kai (任愷) and Yu Chun (庾純), attempted to undermine their political enemy, Jia Chong, by recommending him to Emperor Wu to fight Shujineng. Emperor Wu initially agreed and had even given Jia the necessary appointments to do so. Jia Chong was distressed by this, but with Xun Xu's help, he remained in Luoyang after securing a marriage between his daughter, Jia Nanfeng, and Emperor Wu's heir, Sima Zhong. Defeats and brief surrender
<mask>'s string of victories came to an end in 275 when he was defeated by the Marshal of Yong and Liang Province, Sima Jun and lost 3,000 men in battle.In 277, Sima Jun's subordinate, Wen Yang, campaigned against Shujineng and gave him his second defeat. This time, around 200,000 tribesmen surrendered to Wen Yang. Wen Yang tightened the security in Liang, Qin and Yong by having patrols defend villagers from Shujineng's raids. Faced with repeated defeats, Shujineng negotiated peace with Jin by sending one of his sons to Luoyang as a hostage. Resumed rebellion and death
Peace between Jin and Shujineng did not last, as he revolted again in 278. The Inspector of Liang Province, Yang Xin (楊欣), fought with Shujineng's allies, Ruoluobaneng (若羅拔能) and others, at the Dang Ranges (丹嶺) in Wuwei, but was defeated and beheaded. As Shujineng continued to harass Jin's borders, the minister Li Xi (李憙) suggested that they send an army to put him down, but the court disagreed, believing the situation was not as serious as Li

 thought.However, by the beginning of 279, Shujineng captured Liang Province, much to the regret of Emperor Wu. A junior Jin General by the name of Ma Long volunteered to help defeat Shujineng and marched into Liang with 3,500 elite soldiers. In response, <mask> had his army occupy the passes to defend against Ma Long. During Ma Long's battles with Shujineng, he used tactics that were rather unorthodox and questionable. Ma Long implemented what were called 'flat box carts (偏箱車)' which helped protect the troops from arrows while also allowing them to kill many enemies as they advanced though the narrow passes. It is also said that he placed magnetic stones on the ground to slow down the Xianbei troops, who generally wore iron armour as opposed to the Jin troops wearing rhinoceros hide armour. Shujineng's soldiers supposedly thought these stones to be divine.Regardless of its historicity, Ma Long's campaign saw the end of Shujineng's raids. Once Ma Long reached Wuwei, Shujineng's allies, Cubahan (猝跋韓) and Zuwanneng (且萬能), surrendered to Ma Long with ten thousand tribes under them. At the end of the year, Shujineng was decisively defeated and killed by Ma Long, although another account states that after the battle, Shujineng's subordinates turned on him. One of them, Meigu (沒骨) assassinated Shujineng before he and the rest of the rebel forces surrendered to Jin. With peace restored, Shujineng was replaced with his younger cousin, <mask> Wuwan (禿髮烏孤), as their tribe's leader. References

William Sydney Porter (September 11, 1862 – June 5, 1910), better known by his pen name O<mask>, was an American short story writer. Porter was born in Greensboro, North Carolina. He moved to Texas in 1882, where he met his wife, Athol Estes, with whom he had two children. In 1902, after the death of his wife, Porter moved to New York, where he soon remarried. It was while he was in New York that Porter's most intensive writing period occurred, with Porter writing 381 short stories. Porter's works include "The Gift of the Magi", "The Duplicity of Hargraves", and "The Ransom of Red Chief". His stories are known for their surprise endings and witty narration.Porter also wrote poetry and non-fiction. Porter's legacy includes the O. Henry Award, an annual prize awarded to outstanding short stories. Biography

Early life
William Sidney Porter was born on September 11, 1862, in Greensboro, North Carolina, during the American Civil War. He changed the spelling of his middle name to Sydney in 1898. His parents were Algernon Sidney Porter (1825–88), a physician, and Mary Jane Virginia Swaim Porter (1833–65). William's parents had married on April 20, 1858. When William was three, his mother died after giving birth to her third child, and he and his father moved into the home of his paternal grandmother.As a child, Porter was always reading, everything from classics to dime novels; his favorite works were Lane's translation of One Thousand and One Nights and Burton's Anatomy of Melancholy. Porter graduated from his aunt Evelina Maria Porter's elementary school in 1876. He

 then enrolled at the Lindsey Street High School. His aunt continued to tutor him until he was 15. In 1879, he started working in his uncle's drugstore in Greensboro, and on August 30, 1881, at the age of 19, Porter was licensed as a pharmacist. At the drugstore, he also showed his natural artistic talents by sketching the townsfolk. Life in Texas

Porter traveled along with James K. Hall to Texas in March 1882, hoping that a change of air would help alleviate a persistent cough he had developed.He took up residence on the sheep ranch of Richard Hall, James Hall's son, in La Salle County and helped out as a shepherd, ranch hand, cook, and baby-sitter. While on the ranch, he learned bits of Spanish and German from the mix of indigenous & immigrant ranch hands. He also spent time reading classic literature. Porter's health did improve. He traveled with Richard to Austin, Texas in 1884, where he decided to remain and was welcomed into the home of Richard's friends, Joseph Harrell and his wife. Porter resided with the Harrells for three years. He went to work briefly for the Morley Brothers Drug Company as a pharmacist.Porter then moved on to work for the Harrell Cigar Store located in the Driskill Hotel. He also began writing as a sideline and wrote many of his early stories in the Harrell house. As a young bachelor, Porter led an active social life in Austin. He was known for his wit, story-telling and musical talents. He played both the guitar and mandolin. He sang in the choir at St. David's Episcopal Church and became a member of the "Hill City Quartette", a group


texts: of young men who sang at gatherings and serenaded young women of the town. Porter met and began courting Athol Estes, 17 years old and from a wealthy family.Historians believe Porter met Athol at the laying of the cornerstone of the Texas State Capitol on March 2, 1885. Her mother objected to the match because Athol was ill, suffering from tuberculosis. On July 1, 1887, Porter eloped with Athol and they were married in the parlor of the home of the Reverend R. K. Smoot, pastor of the Central Presbyterian Church, where the Estes family attended church. The couple continued to participate in musical and theater groups, and Athol encouraged her husband to pursue his writing. Athol gave birth to a son in 1888, who died hours after birth, and then daughter Margaret Worth Porter in September 1889. Porter's friend Richard Hall became Texas Land Commissioner and offered Porter a job. Porter started as a draftsman at the Texas General Land Office (GLO) on January 12, 1887, at a salary of $100 a month, drawing maps from surveys and fieldnotes.The salary was enough to support his family, but he continued his contributions to magazines and newspapers. In the GLO building, he began developing characters and plots for such stories as "Georgia's Ruling" (1900), and "Buried Treasure" (1908). The castle-like building he worked in was even woven into some of his tales such as "Bexar Scrip No. 2692" (1894). His job at the GLO was a political appointment by Hall. Hall ran for governor in the election of 1890 but lost. Porter resigned on January 21, 1891, the day after the new


texts:
 governor, Jim Hogg, was sworn in.The same year, Porter began working at the First National Bank of Austin as a teller and bookkeeper at the same salary he had made at the GLO. The bank was operated informally, and Porter was apparently careless in keeping his books and may have embezzled funds. In 1894, he was accused by the bank of embezzlement and lost his job but was not indicted at the time. He then worked full-time on his humorous weekly called The Rolling Stone, which he started while working at the bank. The Rolling Stone featured satire on life, people, and politics and included Porter's short stories and sketches. Although eventually reaching a top circulation of 1,500, The Rolling Stone failed in April 1895 because the paper never provided an adequate income. However, his writing and drawings had caught the attention of the editor at the Houston Post.Porter and his family moved to Houston in 1895, where he started writing for the Post. His salary was only $25 a month, but it rose steadily as his popularity increased. Porter gathered ideas for his column by loitering in hotel lobbies and observing and talking to people there. This was a technique he used throughout his writing career. While he was in Houston, federal auditors audited the First National Bank of Austin and found the embezzlement shortages that led to his firing. A federal indictment followed, and he was arrested on charges of embezzlement. Flight and return

After his arrest, Porter's father-in-law posted his bail.He was due to stand trial on July 7, 1896, but the day before, as he was


texts: changing trains to get to the courthouse, he got scared. He fled, first to New Orleans and later to Honduras, with which the United States had no extradition treaty at that time. Porter lived in Honduras for six months, until January 1897. There he became friends with Al Jennings, a notorious train robber, who later wrote a book about their friendship. He holed up in a Trujillo hotel, where he wrote Cabbages and Kings. Porter had sent Athol and Margaret back to Austin to live with Athol's parents. Unfortunately, Athol became too ill to meet Porter in Honduras as he had planned.When he learned that his wife was dying, Porter returned to Austin in February 1897 and surrendered to the court, pending trial. Athol Estes Porter died from tuberculosis (then known as consumption) on July 25, 1897. Porter had little to say in his own defense at his trial and was found guilty on February 17, 1898, of embezzling $854.08. He was sentenced to five years in prison and imprisoned on March 25, 1898, at the Ohio Penitentiary in Columbus, Ohio. Porter was a licensed pharmacist and was able to work in the prison hospital as the night druggist. He was given his own room in the hospital wing, and there is no record that he actually spent time in the cell block of the prison. He had 14 stories published under various pseudonyms while he was in prison but was becoming best known as "O. Henry", a pseudonym that first appeared over the story "Whistling Dick's Christmas Stocking" in the December 1899 issue of McClure's Magazine.A friend of his in New Orleans would forward his stories to

 publishers so that they had no idea that the writer was imprisoned. Porter was released on July 24, 1901, for good behavior after serving three years. He reunited with his daughter Margaret, now age 11, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where Athol's parents had moved after Porter's conviction. Later life and death
Porter's most prolific writing period started in 1902, when he moved to New York City to be near his publishers. While there, he wrote 381 short stories. He wrote a story a week for over a year for the New York World Sunday Magazine. His wit, characterization, and plot twists were adored by his readers but often panned by critics.Porter married again in 1907 to childhood sweetheart Sarah (Sallie) Lindsey Coleman, whom he met again after revisiting his native state of North Carolina. Sarah Lindsey Coleman was herself a writer and wrote a romanticized and fictionalized version of their correspondence and courtship in her novella Wind of Destiny. Porter was a heavy drinker, and by 1908, his markedly deteriorating health affected his writing. In 1909, Sarah left him, and he died on June 5, 1910, of cirrhosis of the liver, complications of diabetes, and an enlarged heart. After funeral services in New York City, he was buried in the Riverside Cemetery in Asheville, North Carolina. His daughter Margaret Worth Porter had a short writing career from 1913 to 1916. She married cartoonist <mask> of New York in 1916; they were divorced four years later.She died of tuberculosis in 1927 and was buried next to her father. Stories

 surprise endings. In his day he was called the American answer to Guy de Maupassant. While both authors wrote plot twist endings, O<mask>'s stories were considerably more playful, and are also known for their witty narration. Most of O<mask>'s stories are set in his own time, the early 20th century. Many take place in New York City and frequently feature characters with blue-collar jobs, such as policemen and waitresses. Cabbages and Kings was his first collection of stories, followed by The Four Million.The second collection opens with a reference to Ward McAllister's claim that there were "...only 'Four Hundred' people in New York City who were really worth noticing. But a wiser man has arisen—the census taker—and his larger estimate of human interest has been preferred in marking out the field of these little stories of the Four Million." He had an obvious affection for the city, which he called "Bagdad-on-the-Subway", and many of his stories are set there—while others are set in small towns or in other cities. His final work was "Dream", a short story intended for the magazine The Cosmopolitan. It was never completed. Among his most famous stories are:
 "The Gift of the Magi" is about a young couple, Jim and Della, who are short of money but desperately want to buy each other Christmas gifts. Unbeknownst to Jim, Della sells her most valuable possession, her beautiful hair, in order to buy a platinum fob chain for Jim's watch; while unbeknownst to Della, Jim sells his own most valuable possession, his watch, to buy jeweled combs for Della's hair.The essential

"The Ransom of Red Chief" in which two men kidnap a boy of ten years old to ransom him. The boy turns out to be so spoiled and obnoxious that the desperate men ultimately pay the boy's father $250 to take him back. "The Cop and the Anthem" about a New York City hobo named Soapy who sets out to get arrested so that he can be a guest of the city jail instead of sleeping out in the cold winter. Despite his best efforts at committing petty theft, vandalism, disorderly conduct, and "flirting" with a young prostitute, Soapy fails to draw the attention of the police.

An actor, Hargraves, offers Mr. Talbot money, which he is too proud to accept. But when Talbot is approached by an old man, a former slave who gives him money to settle an old family debt, he accepts it. It is later revealed that Hargraves secretly portrayed the slave. "The Caballero's Way" in which Porter's most famous character, the Cisco Kid, is introduced. It was first published in 1907 in the July issue of Everybody's Magazine and collected in the book Heart of the West that same year.In later film and TV depictions, the Kid would be portrayed as a dashing adventurer, perhaps skirting the edges of the law, but primarily on the side of the angels. In the original short story, the only story by Porter to feature the character, the Kid is a murderous, ruthless border desperado, whose trail is dogged by a heroic Texas Ranger. Pen name
Porter used a number of pen names (including "O. <mask>" or "<mask>") in the early part of his writing career; other names included S.H. Peters, James L. Bliss, T.B. Dowd, and Howard Clark. Nevertheless, the name "O. <mask>" seemed to garner the most attention from editors and the public, and was used exclusively by Porter for his writing by about 1902. He gave various explanations for the origin of his pen name.In 1909 he gave an interview

 to The New York Times, in which he gave an account of it:

William Trevor writes in the introduction to The World of O. Henry: Roads of Destiny and Other Stories (Hodder & Stoughton, 1973) that "there was a prison guard named <mask> <mask>" in the Ohio State Penitentiary "whom William Sydney Porter ... immortalised as O. <mask>". According to J. F. Clarke, it is from the name of the French pharmacist Etienne <mask> <mask>, whose name is in the U.S. Dispensary which Porter used working in the prison pharmacy. Writer and scholar Guy Davenport offers his own hypothesis: "The pseudonym that he began to write under in prison is constructed from the first two letters of Ohio and the second and last two of penitentiary." Legacy
The O. Henry Award is a prestigious annual prize named after Porter and given to outstanding short stories. A film was made in 1952 featuring five stories, called O. <mask>'s Full House. The episode garnering the most critical acclaim was "The Cop and the Anthem" starring Charles Laughton and Marilyn Monroe. The other stories are "The Clarion Call" starring Richard Widmark, "The Last Leaf", "The Ransom of Red Chief" (starring Fred Allen and <mask>), and "The Gift of the Magi".A 1957 television series The O. Henry Playhouse was syndicated in 39 episodes to 188 markets. Actor Thomas Mitchell portrayed O<mask> in each episode as he interacted with his characters or related his latest story to his publisher or a friend. The 1986 Indian anthology television series Katha Sagar adapted several of <mask>'s short stories as episodes including "The Last

Henry Hall, both in Austin, Texas, are named for him. O. Henry Hall, now owned by the Texas State University System, previously served as the federal courthouse in which O. <mask> was convicted of embezzlement. The O. Henry House has been the site of the O. Henry Pun-Off, an annual spoken word competition inspired by Porter's love of language, since 1978.Porter has elementary schools named for him in Greensboro, North Carolina (William Sydney Porter Elementary) and Garland, Texas (O. Henry Elementary), as well as a middle school in Austin, Texas (O. Henry Middle School). The O. Henry Hotel in Greensboro is also named for Porter, as is US 29 which is O. Henry Boulevard. In 1962, the Soviet Postal Service issued a stamp commemorating O<mask>'s 100th birthday. On September 11, 2012, the United States Postal Service issued a stamp commemorating the 150th anniversary of O. <mask>'s birth. On November 23, 2011, <mask> quoted O. <mask> while granting pardons to two turkeys named "Liberty" and "Peace". In response, political science professor P. S. Ruckman Jr. and Texas attorney Scott Henson filed a formal application for a posthumous pardon in September 2012, the same month that the U.S. Postal Service issued its O. Henry stamp.Previous attempts were made to obtain such a pardon for Porter in the administrations of Woodrow Wilson, Dwight Eisenhower, and Ronald Reagan, but no one had

 ever bothered to file a formal application. Ruckman and Henson argued that Porter deserved a pardon because (1) he was a law-abiding citizen prior to his conviction; (2) his offense was minor; (3) he had an exemplary prison record; (4) his post-prison life clearly indicated rehabilitation; (5) he would have been an excellent candidate for clemency in his time, had he but applied for pardon; (6) by today's standards, he remains an excellent candidate for clemency; and (7) his pardon would be a well-deserved symbolic gesture and more. The pardon remains ungranted. In 2021 the Library of America included O<mask> in their list by publishing a collection of 101 of his stories, edited by Ben Yagoda. Bibliography

<mask> (June 15, 1932 – November 23, 2008) was an American pastor, seminary professor, and Bible scholar. Some of the views he is known for are these:
"Free Grace theology," a view that holds that eternal life is received as a free gift only through belief in <mask> for eternal life and it need not necessarily result in repentance or good works, therefore, one need not preach repentance when preaching the message of salvation. "Eternal rewards," a view that various passages in the New Testament are not dealing with eternal salvation but addressing Christians and the opportunity to earn eternal rewards or to caution against their loss. His position in support of the Majority Text. Life
<mask> was reared in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, and came to Dallas, Texas in 1954 after receiving a bachelor's degree from Wheaton College. He received a master of theology degree from Dallas Theological Seminary in 1958. He then taught New Testament Greek and Exegesis (1959–1986) at Dallas Seminary and was chairman of the New Testament Department for some time.<mask> also served as pastor at Victor Street Bible Chapel, formerly The Old Mission in Dallas, for almost 50 years. Recently he was active in the Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship and the Grace Evangelical Society. He was the founder and president of Kerugma Ministries. Theology

Free Grace and the Lordship Salvation Controversy
In the late 1980s, <mask> and John F. MacArthur presented differing views over the gospel through various books, generally known as the "Lordship salvation controversy". <mask> propagated the Free Grace position, which teaches that the free gift of eternal life is without cost to the believer, that it comes through simply believing in <mask> and there is no need of any repentance or

 obedience to be followed. A distinction is recognized between believing (which results in receiving eternal life) and submission to the Lordship of <mask> (which is part of the sanctification process). Free Grace Theology also teaches that once a person believes in Jesus Christ, they cannot lose their salvation.MacArthur argued instead for Lordship Salvation, claiming that salvation is by faith alone, and it would lead to repentance and results in good works, and that a true Christian would not continue sinning without remorse but would instead obey God's commands to do good works. MacArthur viewed biblical faith as always including the notion of surrender and obedience, while <mask> taught that biblical faith was the conviction that something is true. Repentance
<mask> rejected the view of repentance as a "change of mind", holding instead the view that it is a God-fearing decision to turn from sin: "Repentance is the decision to turn from sin to avoid, or bring to an end, God's temporal judgment" (Harmony with God, p. 57). <mask> stresses that repentance facilitates faith in <mask>, but is not a condition for eternal salvation, nor is it part of faith itself. "It is one thing to say that repentance facilitates faith in <mask>—the Bible teaches that. It is quite another thing to say that repentance is a requirement for eternal life. That the Bible does not teach" (Harmony with God, p. 93).Initially in his book Absolutely Free! and later in more detail in his book Harmony with God <mask> took the position that the process of repentance may be a preparatory step in coming to salvation and should be evident in the life of a believer, but eternal life is received by believing in Jesus, not by turning from sin. <mask> points out that the gospel of

texts:
 John, which he claims is the only book of the Bible written to lead the unsaved to <mask>, never uses the term "repentance." In Harmony with God <mask> says there is only one answer to the question, "What must I do to be saved?" <mask> emphatically states, "[Pauls and Silas'] answer said absolutely nothing about repentance. Instead they gave the famous and simple reply 'Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved' (Acts 16:31)." <mask> leaps over the next chapter in Acts where Paul does demand repentance: 'God is now declaring that all people everywhere should repent, because He has fixed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness through a Man whom He has appointed, having furnished proof to all men by raising Him from the dead' (Acts 17:32-34.)"Majority Text
In 1982, <mask> published with Arthur L. Farstad an edition of The Greek New Testament According to the Majority Text with Apparatus. The Byzantine text-type, or Majority Text, is considered by its advocates to be a more accurate rendering of the Greek New Testament, though the more commonly accepted New Testament text, called the Alexandrian text-type, which is used in the Nestle-Aland (N/A) text and the United Bible Societies Greek Testament (UBS), is based on more ancient New Testament fragments. <mask> argues:

<mask> ( – 28 March 2012) was a dual British and Canadian national who was arrested in Saudi Arabia on 17 December 2000 on a variety of charges including terrorism, espionage and murder. He was imprisoned and tortured for two years and seven months, and finally released and permitted to leave Saudi Arabia, along with several of his co-accused, on 8 August 2003. In 2005 <mask> published a book about his experience entitled Confessions of an Innocent Man: Torture and Survival in a Saudi Prison. Early life

<mask> was born at Soldiers Memorial Hospital in Middleton, Nova Scotia, Canada. The son of a British father and a Canadian mother, <mask> spent periods in Canada, the United Kingdom and Singapore. At age 16 he joined the Seaforth Highlanders militia in Vancouver. He stayed on for 18 months.He held an MBA from the University of Edinburgh and a PhD in biochemistry. He worked in biochemical research and pharmaceutical marketing prior to moving to Riyadh in 1998 to work as a marketing consultant with the Saudi Industrial Development Fund, a government development bank. Arrest

On the morning of 17 December 2000, <mask> was taken at gunpoint by police as he left his home in Riyadh on his way to work. He was taken to al-Ha'ir Prison where regular sessions of physical and psychological torture immediately began. Among other things, <mask> says he was raped by two men and repeatedly beaten, foot whipped, and deprived of sleep. After six initial days of torture largely conducted by three men, Ibrahim al-Dali (officer of the Mabaheth, the Saudi Arabian internal intelligence service), Khaled al-Saleh (officer of the Mabaheth) and a third unnamed man <mask> nicknamed "the Spiv," <mask> confessed and subsequently provided both written and videotaped confessions; he was

 sentenced to death by al-haad, a form of execution in which the victim is restrained and decapitated. The torture continued in various forms until his release.A Saudi official has denied that <mask> was tortured. Alleged crimes

<mask> was one of nine foreign nationals arrested on allegations of involvement in a series of car bombings targeting Western expatriates in Riyadh. British engineer Christopher Rodway was killed and his wife injured in one explosion, and a second bomb injured Britons Mark Paine and Steve Coughlan. The Saudi authorities claimed that the bombings were part of a turf war within a Western liquor trafficking ring, though the men claimed they were further forced to confess. The widow of Christopher Rodway, Jane Rodway, denied that her husband was involved in liquor trafficking. In his videotaped confession, broadcast internationally on 5 February 2001, <mask> said:

Release

In August 2003, after 31 months' incarceration in solitary confinement, <mask> and the others were suddenly released, and immediately deported to the UK. Charles, Prince of Wales, Rubin Carter, Christopher Rodway's son Justin Rodway, and Canadian members of parliament, Stéphane Dion and Dan McTeague were part of the diplomatic effort to obtain the release.In July 2004, it was revealed that the final release was part of a prisoner exchange for the release of five Saudis from the US prison camp in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Officials of both the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (UK) and the State Department (USA) have anonymously confirmed this information. A memorandum between officials of the Belgian Ministry of Foreign Affairs referring to the prisoner exchange adds further evidence of its occurrence. The Belgian government has confirmed both the authenticity of the memo

 and its knowledge of the exchange, but has denied any direct involvement in the negotiations. The Canadian government refuses to comment on the matter. Legal case

On 28 October 2004, <mask>, along with Britons Sandy Mitchell and Les Walker, won a legal battle in London, UK that allows them to sue the men in Saudi Arabia they say tortured them into making the false confessions. In February 2005, a coroner's inquest into the death of Christopher Rodway, held in Trowbridge, concluded that there was no evidence to indicate that <mask> and Mitchell had any involvement in the death, and thus were not involved in the incident for which the Saudi Arabian government had arrested them.In June 2006, a decision handed down at the Law Lords overturned the earlier ruling of the Court of Appeal. <mask>, along with Mitchell and Walker appealed to the European Court of Human Rights claiming that the law in Britain, as interpreted in the Lords' decision, is a violation of their rights under Article 6 (right to a fair trial) of the European Convention on Human Rights. In June 2006 the group's appeal was overturned by the Law Lords on the grounds that Saudi officials are protected in Britain by the State Immunity Act 1978. In 2007, <mask> was the subject of a National Film Board of Canada-co-produced documentary. Criticism of the Canadian government

<mask> repeatedly criticised the Canadian government for its actions during his incarceration. <mask> stated that his torturers were present at every meeting he had with Canadian diplomats and government representatives, who never insisted they leave and indeed accepted the Saudis' claims of <mask>'s guilt, despite the lack of evidence, inconsistencies, and the statements to the contrary by <mask> and his supporters.

She rejected claims Canada had learned a lesson in being pro-active in protecting its citizens in custody overseas. See also

<mask> (24 July 1869 – 5 July 1945) was general manager of Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft from 1926 to 1945, a Nazi politician and the Reich Minister for Transport from 1937 to 1945. Life
Dorpmueller was the son of a railway engineer, and studied railway and road construction from 1889 to 1893. After graduating in 1898, Dorpmueller was active in the Prussian state railway administration. In 1907, he stepped down as an executive of the technical office and went into the service of the Schantung railway in Tsingtao. In 1908, he was appointed chief engineer for the German section of the new Chinese Imperial state Tianjin-Pukou railway. Due to the declaration of war by China against the German Reich, he returned as a refugee in 1918, passing through Manchuria, Siberia and Russia to Germany. In the light railway service, he was active in the management of the Transcaucasian SFSR railways.In 1919, he became departmental head with German Reich Railways (Deutsche Reichseisenbahnen) in the Stettin district. From 1922 to 30 September 1924, he was a president in the Deutsche Reichseisenbahnen in the Oppeln district, and from 1 October 1924 to 1925, he was president in the Ruhr district; due to his comprehensive experience in light railways, Dorpmueller was consulted as part of the Dawes plan. After 1925 the board of directors of the German Reich Railway (Deutsche Reichsbahn Gesellschaft) created a position entitled Permanent Representative of the general manager (Head of the Railway), as general manager Rudolf Oeser was seriously ill; Dorpmueller was appointed to this post on 3 July 1925. In December 1925 RWTH Aachen, in acknowledgment of his services to railways awarded him a doctorate in engineering. On 3 June 1926,

 the day of Rudolf Oeser's death he was selected by the board of directors to become the German railway's general manager. Due to political considerations it was only confirmed on 18 October 1926 by the President of Germany. Nazi career
After the Nazi seizure of power Dorpmüller replaced nearly all "non-Aryan" workers with National Socialists.<mask> became Reich Transport Minister on 2 February 1937 after the resignation of his predecessor Paul Freiherr von Eltz-Rübenach. In April 1938, when a Berlin train stopped in Passau, <mask> was ceremonially welcomed and escorted to the Danube, where he continued his trip to Linz and Vienna on board the Austrian Wotan. On 11 July 1939 the "law concerning the Deutsche Reichsbahn" (German Reich Railway) was issued and <mask> was confirmed as transport minister and also General Manager of the Deutsche Reichsbahn. According to Albert Speer, <mask> confessed that "The Reichsbahn has so few cars and locomotives available for the German area that it can no longer assume responsibility for meeting the most urgent transportation needs." Speer then convinced Hitler to name Albert Ganzenmüller state secretary under Dorpmüller. Though he had entered the cabinet with no party affiliation, <mask> was awarded the Golden Party Badge on 7 December 1940 and joined the Nazi Party on 1 February 1941 (membership number 7,883,826). <mask> stayed in office under the brief Goebbels cabinet and on the formation of the Flensburg government on 5 May 1945, he was named Minister for Transport, Communications and Posts.Post war career
After the end of the war, the British then asked Dorpmueller to take over reconstruction of the German railways: Dorpmueller and his representative Albert Ganzenmüller

 were brought by air, by the United States, to Chesnay in Paris, in order to meet for negotiations over the reorganization of German transport. American general Carl R. Gray Jr. had expressly recommended Dorpmueller to General Dwight D Eisenhower for "re-instatement to his old office", because he—as also "our secret service confirms"—had been neither a "Nazi sympathizer nor activist". With difficulty, as he was suffering from cancer, Dorpmueller returned on 13 June 1945 to Malente and from there, gave advice on reconstruction. On 23 June 1945 he was operated on—again—but his digestive system no longer functioned, so his health deteriorated rapidly. Despite this, he led official discussions, in full coherence, until two days before his death. Dorpmueller died on 5 July 1945 and was buried in Malente. After his death
In accordance with an October 1949 letter from Lübeck's denazification main committee to Maria Dorpmueller, <mask>'s sister, he was said to have obtained "relief" under category V classification.In the honours lists of the Aachen university 1995 anniversary publication, he was listed as an honorary doctor (1925) and an honorary senator (1939), with no further details. In the Nuremberg transport museum and in the "Dorpmueller Hall" of the main station of Hanover there were busts of Dorpmueller, until 1985, when they were removed during preparations for celebration of the sesquicentenary of the introduction of railways to Germany. In the Essen railway's head office there was once a "Dorpmueller room", which was renamed in 1985 to "Small meeting room"; the bust there also disappeared. Roads in the cities Wuppertal, Minden and Hameln, were originally named after Dorpmuller and have also been renamed. In

 September 1994, someone from Ratingen complained to German railways about Dorpmüller's "badly maintained" grave. In a letter from them in response in January 1995, they said that the former BD Hamburg had maintained the grave until the end of 1991, a decision by the former executive committee of the German Federal Railroads meant there was no more provision for maintenance thereafter. In the middle of 1995, someone from Hamburg tidied up the grave and took over care at their own expense.Honors and medals

<mask> (born July 18, 1948 in Guaynabo, Puerto Rico) is a Puerto Rican musician, writer, comedian, entrepreneur and broadcasting media host. Early life
<mask> is the oldest of eleven brothers and sisters. The <mask>es are of Sephardi Jewish Anusim origin. While <mask> was a teenager he became involved in various church singing groups and in the Puerto Rican production of Up with People. He later formed a duo, Silverio y Roxana, that specialized in Puerto Rican music, and as a result, was a guest -and later hosted- a typical Puerto Rican music television program, "Borinquen Canta", along with news broadcaster Guillermo José Torres. He later studied Chemical Engineering at the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez, but remained active as a part-time singer while completing his studies. He then realized that Engineering, while a lucrative career, did not fulfill his vocation as a singer.During his period as a student of the University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez, Perez met and befriended such legendary figures as politician Jose Enrique Arraras, basketball star Fufi Santori and sportscaster Elliott Castro. (in Spanish)

Career
<mask> formally started his career with the singing group Haciendo Punto en Otro Son with four debut concerts at a night club called "La Tea" in San Juan (October 30 – November 2, 1975). This band, whose original members included Irvin García, Jossy Latorre, Nano Cabrera and Tony Croatto, toured all of Puerto Rico and some other countries, recording various albums and 8-tracks. The group faced blacklisting in some Puerto Rican towns due to the political nature of some of its songs, and experienced

 numerous personnel changes over time (most notably Croatto's, who as a non-native Puerto Rican felt uncomfortable by the situation). Haciendo Punto would "break up" twice during the 1980s, to be reformed in the late 1990s. After the group went into a hiatus, <mask> went into Puerto Rican television with the Los Rayos Gamma show. In Los Rayos Gamma, he teamed up with Sunshine Logroño, Jacobo Morales and Horacio Olivo to satirize Puerto Rican politics.Later on, he became the show host of the successful program, En Serio Con Silverio. In 1995, he was credited with coining the term chupacabra, referring to creatures around Puerto Rico with a habit of attacking and drinking the blood of livestock, especially goats. In 2000, he debuted in the show Anda Pa'l Cará on Tele Once (now Univision Puerto Rico); it aired until 2009.

 successful in hiding his illness from the Puerto Rican public. Works
He wrote, in 1996, a book named Humortivación ("Humortivation", a portmanteau of "Humor" & "motivación"/"motivation"; published in 1998, ), which promotes motivation through humor. It had two sequels, Más Humortivación: el camino del éxito ("More Humortivation: the Path for Success", 2000, ) and Humortivación… otra vez ("Humortivation… Again", 2007, ), plus a follow-up, Domesticando tu dinosario ("Domesticating Your Dinosaur", 2005, ). In 2004, he wrote El humor nuestro de cada día: las tres tristes tribus ("Our Humor of Every Day: the Three Sad Tribes", ), a critique about Puerto Rican politics. The "three sad tribes" in the title refer to the three local political parties (PPD, PNP, & PIP) that have dominated politics in the island since 1968. It was followed up in 2008 by another political critique, Desde mi grúa: manual del elector aguzao ("From My Crane: Manual of the Intelligent Voter", ). In 2009 he released Prefiero ser trovador: décimas con amor y humor () as a book + CD bundle, which was later followed in 2011 by Punto decimal: décimas para decir más, also a book + CD bundle.In 2010 he wrote a motivational book, Abracadabra: buenas palabras ("Abracadabra: Good Words", ). He also wrote Paso a paso… por el Camino de Santiago: Crónica de un peregrino ("Step by Step… Through the Road to Santiago: Chronicle of a Peregrine", 2014, ), a memoir chronicling his experience during his peregrination to the Santiago de Compostela Cathedral in Galicia, Spain. In 2016 he wrote La vitrina rota o ¿qué carajo pasó aquí? ("The Broken Vitrine, or What the Fuck


texts:
 Happened Here? ", ), in which he offered his "introspective view into Puerto Rican history from 1898 to the present", with emphasis on why Puerto Rico filed for bankruptcy. During 2017, he also offered conferences in Puerto Rico and in United States about the island's current situation, based on the contents of this book. In 2017 he wrote a novel, Un espejo en la selva ("A Mirror in the Jungle", ), about a Puerto Rican psychologist kidnapped by FARC militants in Colombia.He has written several books. Two of the most recent ones, Un Espejo en la Selva (2017, a novel) and La vitrina rota o ¿qué carajo pasó aquí? (2016), were awarded by International Latino Book Awards as Best Drama and Historical Book, respectively. He is the composer of songs, among them, the danza dedicated to the island of Vieques ("Isla Nena"). In 2018 he wrote his memoir book Sólo CUENTO con el CUENTO que te CUENTO ("I Only COUNT with the TALE I TELL You", ), where he told his memories as "parent, professional, artist, and Puerto Rican". <mask> writes a column for El Nuevo Día called  (Point of View).

<mask> ( – 8 September 1613) was Prince of Venosa and Count of Conza. As a composer he is known for writing madrigals and pieces of sacred music that use a chromatic language not heard again until the late 19th century. He is also known for killing his first wife and her aristocratic lover upon finding them in flagrante delicto. The responses to this and to his music have often gone hand in hand. Biography

Early life
<mask>'s family had acquired the principality of Venosa in what is now the Province of Potenza, Southern Italy, in 1560. He was probably born on March 30, 1566, three years after his older brother Luigi, though some sources have stated that he was born on March 8. Older ones give the year of birth as  1560 or 1561, but this is no longer accepted.A letter from <mask>'s mother, Geronima Borromeo, indicates that the year is most likely 1566. <mask>'s uncle was <mask>, later Saint Charles Borromeo. His mother was the niece of Pope Pius IV. Most likely <mask> was born at Venosa, then part of the Kingdom of Naples, but little else is known about his early life. "His mother died when he was only seven, and at the request of his uncle, <mask> for whom he was named, he was sent to Rome to be set on the path of an ecclesiastical career. There he was placed under the protection of his uncle, Alfonso (d. 1603), then dean of the College of Cardinals, later unsuccessful pretender to the papacy, and ultimately Archbishop of Naples."

They had a son, Don Emmanuele. <mask> had a musical relationship with Pomponio Nenna, though whether it was student to teacher, or colleague to colleague, is uncertain. Regardless of this, however, he had a single-minded devotion to music from an early age, and showed little interest in anything else. In addition to the lute, he also played the harpsichord and guitar. In addition to Nenna, <mask>'s accademia included the composers Giovanni de Macque, Scipione Dentice, Scipione Stella, Scipione Lacorcia, Ascanio Mayone, and the nobleman lutenist Ettorre de la Marra.

Some years into her marriage with <mask>, Donna Maria began an affair with Fabrizio Carafa, third Duke of Andria and seventh Count of Ruovo.On the night of October 16, 1590, at the Palazzo San Severo in Naples, the two lovers were caught in flagrante by <mask>, who killed them both on the spot. The day after the killing, a delegation of Neapolitan officials inspected the room in <mask>'s apartment where the killings had taken place, and interrogated witnesses.

About a year after the gruesome end of his first marriage, <mask>'s father died and he thus became the third Prince of Venosa and eighth Count of Conza. Ferrara years
By 1594, <mask> had arranged for another marriage, this time to Leonora d'Este, the niece of Duke Alfonso II. That year, Gesualdo ventured to Ferrara, the home of the d'Este court and also one of the centers of progressive musical activity in Italy, especially the madrigal; <mask> was especially interested in meeting Luzzasco Luzzaschi, one of the most forward-looking composers in the genre.Leonora was married to <mask> and moved with him back to his estate in 1597. In the meantime, he engaged in more than two years of creative activity in the innovative environment of Ferrara, surrounded by some of the finest musicians in Italy. While in Ferrara, he published his first book of madrigals. He also worked with the concerto delle donne, the three virtuoso female singers who were among the most renowned performers in the country, and for whom many other composers wrote music. In a letter of June 25, 1594, <mask> indicated he was writing music for the three women in the concerto delle donne; however, it is probable that some of the music he wrote, for example that in the newly developing monodic and/or

 concertato styles, has not survived. Return to Gesualdo and final years
After returning to his castle at Gesualdo from Ferrara in 1595, he set up a situation similar to the one that existed in Ferrara, with a group of resident virtuoso musicians who would sing his own music. While his estate became a center of music-making, it was for <mask> alone.With his considerable financial resources, he was able to hire singers and instrumentalists for his own pleasure. He rarely left his castle, taking delight in nothing but music. His most well-known music was published in Naples in 1603 and from the castle of Gesualdo (with printer ) in 1611. The most notoriously chromatic and difficult portions of it were all written during his period of self-isolation. The relationship between <mask> and his new wife was not good; she accused him of abuse, and the Este family attempted to obtain a divorce. She spent more and more time away from the isolated estate. <mask> wrote many angry letters to Modena where she often went to stay with her brother.According to Cecil Gray and Peter Warlock, "She seems to have been a very virtuous lady ... for there is no record of his having killed her." In 1600, <mask>'s son by his second marriage died. It has been postulated that after this <mask> had a large painting commissioned for the church of the Capuchins at Gesualdo, showing <mask>, his uncle <mask>, his second wife Leonora, and his son, underneath a group of angelic figures;
