Andrew Pettegree is Professor of Modern History at the University of St. Andrews, where he was the founding director of the St. Andrews Reformation Studies Institute. He is the author of a number of books on the Reformation and the history of communication.
Five hundred years have passed since the dawn of the Reformation. Endless amounts of ink have been spilled in writings about Martin Luther and nearly every aspect of the Reformation, its sources and its legacy. Every time a major Reformation anniversary comes around, one finds a renewed surge of research and publication on Martin Luther and the Reformation.
With all that ink spilled, all that research performed, all that paper printed, is it even possible to look at Luther and the Reformation from a fresh perspective? Andrew Pettegree's Brand Luther does exactly that. This book has been described as "the best new contribution to Luther scholarship in recent history"1 and rightly so. In Brand Luther, Pettegree brings together his expertise in Reformation and communication history to provide the reader with a unique perspective on the Reformation.
Brand Luther is not a typical biography of Martin Luther. Instead Pettegree takes the reader through the life of Luther, the life of Wittenberg, and the development of the Reformation all from the unique perspective of the printing industry. This makes Brand Luther a rare gem in Reformation studies.
Pettegree breaks down the history of Luther and the Reformation into four major parts. Part I. A Singular Man provides background on Wittenberg, Luther's life prior to the posting of the 95 Theses, and the indulgence trade. Some may be surprised to find out that there was nothing remarkable about little Wittenberg at the time of Luther's arrival. Luther himself described Wittenberg as "on the edge of civilization." (7)
The printing industry had no reason to pay attention to Wittenberg. At the time of Luther's arrival, Wittenberg had only one printing press. A printer with limited ability ran the printing press for the university's use. Yet "within the next fifty years Wittenberg would defy all the rules…and become a center of the book world…almost entirely due to Martin Luther…" (11)
In his examination of Luther's early years leading up to late 1517, Pettegree does Reformation historiography justice. He examines some of the more well-known conclusions that have developed in recent decades, as well as some of the depictions that have persisted over the centuries. He then evaluates their validity and historicity in light of current scholarship. For example, in his description of Luther's early home life, Pettegree writes, "…Attempts to interpret the crucial turning points of Luther's life as a reaction against a cold and distant father, or mother, tell us more about the era in which they were written (the 1960s and 1970s) than about Luther. Martin was conscious that he came from a loving home; he honored his parents and in turn would be a devoted and doting father." (30).
Along these same lines, Pettegree provides an excellent defense of the historicity that Luther did indeed post ninety-five theses on indulgences in late October 1517. He does so by examining how the printing industry responded to Luther's theses. Dissertation theses never attained a sufficient audience to merit further publication beyond the university where the disputation took place. "In Luther's case, his theses on indulgences were reprinted three times, in three separate cities, including one…that did not have a university" (75).
In Part II. The Eye of the Storm, Pettegree helps the reader to understand the frenetic nature of Luther's life and work during the period from 1517 to 1530, a time when Luther became the engine of the powerful printing industry that developed in Wittenberg, pumping out major works, essays, responses, pamphlets, and Bible translations. As he lays out the major events in Luther's life at this time—Heidelberg Disputation, debate with John Eck, Diet of Worms, seclusion at the Wartburg, Pettegree parallels how each of these events and Luther's various writings transformed the printing industry. He demonstrates how Martin Luther was really the first person of the modern era to harness "social media" to get his message out to the world and in doing so he made history.
One of the main reasons for this was the development of what the author describes as "Brand Luther"—a certain look, typography, and style that was used for Wittenberg writings, a brand developed under the guidance of Lucas Cranach—one of Luther's closest allies. The author ably guides the reader through the development of "Brand Luther." Pettegree's chapter on "Brand Luther," including his account of Cranach's life and work, are worth the price of the book.
Part III. Friends and Adversaries focuses on the people of the Reformation—Luther's expanding circle of colleagues, his adversaries, and those who cut ties from the Reformation. In this section, Pettegree offers a fascinating look at the publication of the German Bible in its various parts during Luther's lifetime. What makes this particularly interesting is the manner in which the printing industry developed to take the lengthy text of Holy Scripture and make it not only accessible to the general public, but also affordable.
As Pettegree focuses on those who followed Luther, he provides the reader a helpful examination of the development of the Reformation beyond Saxony and a closer look at those who stood opposed to Luther and the Reformation. He helps the reader to understand the difficulties that Roman Catholic writers had with getting their writings published not only in pro-Luther lands, but even in Roman Catholic lands, where often there was little demand for their works.
This reviewer was a little surprised at the conclusions and criticisms made in "Partings"—the chapter on the partings of those who had initially embraced the Reformation. In examining Luther's interactions with Erasmus, Pettegree tended to side with Erasmus and spoke critically of Luther's Bondage of the Will. In his examination of the Peasants' Revolt and elsewhere2, Pettegree openly wonders if Luther later regretted his early statements about the "priesthood of all believers." Pettegree also criticizes Luther for refusing to compromise with Zwingli and the Swiss Reformers at and after the Marburg Colloquy. In spite of these criticisms, Pettegree does provide a unique perspective on these particular events in the life of Luther and the Reformation.
Part IV. Building the Church focuses on the challenges that Luther and the Reformers faced spreading and establishing the Reformation. Pettegree provides a helpful glimpse not only into the Luther home, but into Luther's view of marriage and fatherhood, which also impacted Luther's emphasis on Christian education, the development of the Catechisms, and his call for an educated citizenry.
This section also includes a look at Luther's last years. Any examination of Luther's last years should cause the reader to wince. Luther's declining health, his frustrations, and the growing threats of attack show themselves throughout Luther's writings from this time. Pettegree provides a realistic, "warts and all" view of Luther during the final years of his life, and that is okay. It is better for Lutherans to understand the real Luther, which leads us to even greater appreciation for what our God accomplished through him and the Reformation, than to hang our heritage on a romanticized myth that makes Luther nothing more than a patron saint.
Brand Luther concludes with a final look at Luther's legacy both in the Lutheran church and his long-term impact on the printing industry. The reader will find a wealth of resources for further study in Pettegree's endnotes. This reviewer appreciated the fact that Pettegree cites some of the best Reformation scholars in conservative Christian and confessional Lutheran circles.
In the course of reading Brand Luther, the reader will realize that this book was published by a secular publisher for a secular audience—and that becomes evident in some of Pettegree's conclusions. Lutheran readers will likely wish that the author would go one step further and attribute what took place in Reformation history or in Luther's life as more than improbable luck, but rather God's guidance of history for the benefit of his Church. Nevertheless, Brand Luther is one of the best and most accessible contributions to Luther scholarship in recent memory. This reviewer strongly recommends that Brand Luther find a place not only in the libraries of our busy pastors, but also as recommended reading in our church libraries.

Due to customer demand, a local restaurant installed a wireless router to provide wireless Internet for those customers. Because they were self-managing their own I.T. needs at the time, they bought a cheap Linksys router from Target, used the provided configuration software to set it up, stuck it in a closet, and let it do its job. Over the next year, the customers at that restaurant complained about weak/no signal, no Internet access, slow speeds, and other issues related to the cheap Linksys router.
Out of frustration, the owner of that restaurant called us. We immediately assessed that the cheap Linksys router in the closet didn't have enough signal strength to reach the far ends of the restaurant, and certainly wasn't robust enough to handle the 50+ wireless devices connecting on a daily basis. We replaced the cheap Linksys router with two enterprise cloud-managed wireless access points with guaranteed bandwidth quotas, and a secure wireless network for the restaurant managers and the mobile POS units and an Internet-only open wireless network for the customers.
Over the last three years, that restaurant has not experienced any outages or complaints caused by the wireless access points that we installed, leaving the managers and staff more time to do what they do best.
If your wireless network is constantly dropping, needs frequent reboots, or is unreliable in any way, we can help. Call us today at 715-377-0440 or use the form on our contact page.

Informing internet television and video
MULTISCREEN INDEX
Online viewing in the United States
7 July 2017 10 July 2017
A report from comScore says that online viewing on television has become mainstream in the United States. Over half of homes use online video services on a television watching for an average of over an hour and a half a day. Homes with Hulu watch for longer than those with Netflix, but those with online services from Sony, Dish or DIRECTV watch them at least twice as much.
51 million homes in the United States used online television or video services on a television set in April 2017, or over 50% of homes.
44% of these had cable and 22% had satellite, while 16% had terrestrial television and 18% were streaming only.
The average home using online television or video service on television watched 49 hours of such programming in the month, over an average of 15 viewing days.
Those households that had never had pay television watched an average of 61 hours a month online, while those that had cut their cable or satellite service watched 81 hours per month.
Among those households watching online, Hulu scored an average of 29 hours, followed by Netflix with 27, YouTube with 17, and Amazon Video at 11.
However, Netflix has the highest household penetration, at 40% of homes with WiFi, compared to Hulu with about 12%.
Hulu received an average of 2.9 hours per household per viewing day, with an average of nearly 10 viewing days a month.
Netflix was watched for an average of 2.2 hours per household per viewing day, but was watched on average over 12 days in a month.
Netflix is viewed in 3 out of every 4 households that watch online television or video.
In homes with an online pay-television service from Sony PlayStation Vue, Sling TV, or DIRECTV NOW, these services constituted over half of all online television and video viewing time. They accounted for an average of 57, 69 hours, and 81 hours a month respectively.
If these online virtual pay-television services can expand their reach, they have the potential to become major platforms for audience attention.
The State of OTT report is available to download from comScore. It is based on measurements from 12,500 homes across the United States.

Colombian President: Taxes Will Rise if FARC Deal Fails
ColombiaFeaturedPolitics
By Jaime Henriquez Fattoni On Jun 21, 2016
President of Colombia, Juan Manuel Santos Calderon. (flickr)
By Julián Villabona Galarza
EspañolA new warning has been made by President Santos to those who oppose the peace process between the Colombian government and the FARC guerillas.
This time, Colombia's president claimed taxes will go up if a peace accord isn't reached within the negotiation process taking place in Havana.
Those taxes, Santos claimed, would be necessary to cover the expenses caused by armed conflict — the purchase of arms, arms development and attention to victims of the confrontations between the army and guerrillas.
Should the accords be signed, however, taxes may go up anyway, as the government would need to pay for the demobilization, reinsertion and sustenance of those who were part of the guerrillas.
Santos' statements echoed those made during the World Economic Forum, in which it was announced that FARC planned to start an urban war should an agreement not be reached.
The announcement was made following the decision by the country's constitutional court to allow the people to decide whether they agree or not with the signed agreement between the government and FARC.
The declarations were made during a TV show called "Let's Talk About the Economy" broadcasted by the Public Channel used to discuss public institutions in Colombia.

Home Careers Lessons on the Wrong Resource
Lessons on the Wrong Resource
nevilleturbit
Here is a lesson I learned when doing a project review. I guess I knew it all along but it was certainly brought home to me when I did the review.
A large public corporation had just finished a project. It had been difficult to say the least. It was well over budget and time. The deliverables were not in line with the original scope statement and there was already talk of a "Stage Two". The project had been particularly political and I was brought in as an independent person to review the project and identify any lessons learned.
In preliminary discussions it was hinted strongly that the problem was the project manager. He had not taken control of the project, and many things had not been done properly. He set adventurous deadlines and did not manage the business staff well. I kept an open mind but there was certainly a perception that the project manager was to blame.
I reviewed the project documentation before starting interviews and it did appear weak. The risk assessment was only done once, and appeared superficial. There was little follow up on mitigation strategies. There was no documented process for managing variations. The schedule updates seemed to be sporadic. There was no Project Plan. Some of the content you would expect to find in a project plan was scattered through a number of other documents and some just missing. It was evident from the documentation project management was weak.
I interviewed the project manager and he was very defensive. He pointed the finger at many people who had contributed to the problems. He claimed lack of support, and lack of authority. Decisions were taken without his knowledge and he was later informed. One example was a major variation that was agreed without him being aware of the proposal. He was told to just go do it. Clearly he was not in control.
As we proceeded, I asked about his previous experience. I was astonished to find that he had never undertaken a project this big. In fact his biggest project would barely be a tenth the size of this project. I asked him how it was that he came to run the project. His answer was that it had been presented to him as a chance to prove his worth. An opportunity to show people what he could do. The break he had been looking for to advance his career. He had no formal training. He had carried out a few small projects but never been trained in project management.
Once I knew this, I could understand his perspective. He found:
People were not cooperating as he expected them to
Verbal assurances were never honoured
Decisions of a critical nature were not being made with his input
The staff he was given were not up to the job requirements
The original estimates he was given were not realistic
The worse it got, the more he found people finding a way around him to run their own agenda. He was not only out of his depth. He was set up to fail.
So where did the blame lie? Most people, including myself, have taken on a task and found it was much more complex than we imagined. In some cases we have taken it on because we pushed to be there, and in other cases we were pushed into the situation. In the former case , we may be able to lay some blame at the feet of the person who gave in to our demands to allow us to carry out the task but mostly, we have ourselves to blame. In the latter case, the main person to blame is the person who pushed us into the situation then set us adrift. The project manager was definitely the latter case. He was pushed into the role, his reservations were smoothed over, and then he was set adrift.
My report identified this as the problem, and the person who was Sponsor was the person responsible. What I couldn't say in the report, much less prove, was that the poor guy was appointed because the Sponsor wanted someone he could dominate and who would not stand up to him over project issues. I recommended the project manager be given proper training and continue working in that role but on smaller projects until he built up his experience.
A year later I had coffee with a person from the corporation and asked what had happened. Unfortunately there was no fairy tale ending. The project manager had resigned, or been forced to resign. It was not clear. The Sponsor had rubbished my report and said I would never work for them again. Stage two of the project had been outsourced and was now causing bitter disputes within the organisation.
I did work for them again. After about three years, the Sponsor had moved on, and I was approached to do some more work for the corporation. Evidently someone had said to the CEO that they needed someone who would "tell it as it is" and I had proved I would three years previously.
The lesson to come from all this is that you need the right resources. In this case it was the project manager but I have seen the same situation in every project role. Not putting in place the right person will come back to bite the project somewhere down the track. The other lesson is to make sure that you have the capability to do the job when it is offered to you. There is an old saying "beware of Greeks bearing gifts". I think it refers to Trojan horses, but in the world of the GFC, it is just as appropriate today.

VEEP actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus could barely conceal her emotions when accepting her Emmy Award today.
SHE may have won for her sterling comic turn in Veep, but Julia Louis-Dreyfus delivered one of the most poignant moments in her Emmy speech with a heartbreaking speech that flipped suddenly from bitingly sarcastic to deeply emotional.
"While I'm apologising, I'd like to take the opportunity to apologise for the current political climate," she deadpanned to cheers from the audience as she accepted the Lead Actress gong for her political comedy series.
Then suddenly turning serious, the former Seinfeld star broke down as she ended her speech by dedicating the award to her father, who died on Friday aged 84.
Later on in the evening, fellow winner Patton Oswalt made one of his first public appearances following the death of his wife, crime writer Michelle McNamara, in April.
"I want to share this with two people: My daughter Alice who is waiting at home. And the other one is waiting somewhere else, I hope," he said as he accepted the Emmy for Outstanding Writing for a Variety Special.

I can't seem to stop getting these samples. I am opening my 3rd package from Sample Room. As usual, I was impressed by how fast it was delivered.
You can also read through my previous posts on my first and second package.
I got this full-sized 200 mL bottle for 40 points. Like the typical Dove bottle, I love the way they design it in such a way that it's easier to handle. The moment I open it, the smell is heavenly. It makes me feel so feminine. Consistency of the body wash is average - not too thick but not too runny either. When applied to the skin, you can feel the moisturizers and glides into your skin. It's so soft that sometimes I wonder if it was able to remove all the dirt in my skin? :) Overall, my experience in using this is great!
For 50 sample room points, I was able to grab this full-size, 60 mL bottle of Belo AcnePro Treatment Toner. I have dry skin. When I used the toner, it gives me that stretched-out feeling and the sting was only bearable. Although it dried up my pimples, it also leaves my skin dry. Maybe I'll need to use a moisturizer along with this one. One thing I noticed is that my face feels so thoroughly clean and it unclogs my pores.

History of the Theatre
Much like its theatre roots, The Shawnee Playhouse history is rich with stories. The old playhouse was built in 1904 by American Industrialist, C.C. Worthington. The, then, Worthington Hall was a hub for local Deleware actors and actresses and it even landed a regular spot on the town's radio station. When World War II climbed to its height in 1942, the community favorite fell into obsolescence.
In 1978, the Kirkwood Family purchased The Shawnee Resort, including the playhouse. They immediately began renovations on the 75-year-old building and successfully earned it the prestigious Phoenix Award. Sadly, in 1985 an arsonist burned the building to the ground, but with the backing of the Shawnee community, the theatre was rebuilt and stands as the heart of Shawnee today.

Optimization/Simulation Model for Determining Real-Time Optimal Operation of River-Reservoirs Systems during Flooding Conditions
A model is presented for real-time, river-reservoir operation systems. It epitomizes forward-thinking and efficient approaches to reservoir operations during flooding events. The optimization/simulation includes five major components. The components are a mix of hydrologic and hydraulic modeling, short-term rainfall forecasting, and optimization and reservoir operation models. The optimization/simulation model is designed for ultimate accessibility and efficiency. The optimization model uses the meta-heuristic approach, which has the capability to simultaneously search for multiple optimal solutions. The dynamics of the river are simulated by applying an unsteady flow-routing method. The rainfall-runoff simulation uses the National Weather Service NexRad gridded rainfall data, since …

Amy Dahlin probably isn't alone in thinking her husband, Brian, is a bit off his rocker because of his passion toward University of Iowa athletics.
At first glance, it doesn't make sense. Brian was born and raised in Green Bay, Wisconsin, graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Platteville, and works in Nichols, Wisconsin, as vice president of sales and marketing for Nichols Paper Company.
So why, after living the majority of his life in a state that favors the colors green and gold of the Green Bay Packers and the cardinal and white of the Wisconsin Badgers, would Dahlin be so invested in Hawkeye black and gold?
Dahlin's first fulltime job was working for the now defunct television station KDUB channel 40 in Dubuque, Iowa. One of his assignments was providing coverage of the Hawkeyes.
Dahlin's most recent act of his Hawkeye allegiance will result in a full day of University of Iowa athletics programming on ESPNU on Tuesday, April 16.
Here's how it happened: A year ago, during what is known as ESPY Day Auction, Dahlin bid on a package that allowed the winner to schedule a day's worth of content featuring a college of their choice. It was a win-win situation for Dahlin. His financial bid went to the Jimmy V Foundation for cancer research; the 10 events he selected will make for an entertaining Tuesday for Iowa fans around the world.
It also gives the Hawkeyes a continuous 24-hour commercial on the Worldwide Leader in Sports.
Since all times are Eastern, the first game will technically air April 15 at 11 p.m. (CT) with the Hawkeyes' 55-24 football victory over Ohio State on Nov. 4, 2017. Also being shown will be Iowa's 14-13 football win over Michigan on Nov. 12, 2016, the 101-95 men's basketball overtime victory against Connecticut in the Great Alaska Shootout on Nov. 11, 1995, the 42-35 overtime football victory against Penn State on Sept. 28, 2002, the 1997 NCAA Wrestling Championships where the Hawkeyes scored 170 points and crowned five individual champions, the 21-20 football victory over Penn State on Oct. 19, 1996, the 96-90 men's basketball overtime win against Michigan State on Jan. 28, 1993, and the 2005 Capital One Bowl.
Of course, Dahlin included two Iowa men's basketball victories over his home-state Badgers: the first on Feb. 23, 2012, when Matt Gatens scored 33 points, the second on March 7, 2017, when Jordan Bohannon sank a game-winning 3-point field goal.
"I have nothing against Wisconsin, I was just drawn more toward Iowa and once I started working (in Dubuque) and getting to know the lay of the land, I liked Iowa better, especially wrestling," Dahlin said. "I wasn't a wrestler, but I have always admired (former head coach) Dan Gable and what he was able to do, not just for the Hawkeye program, but for the sport of wrestling itself. That was amazing to me.
It was at UW-Platteville where Dahlin not only met his wife, but he earned an A in a physical education/basketball class taught by then head men's basketball coach Bo Ryan. Ryan went on to coach Wisconsin from 2001-15.
Davis coached the Iowa men's basketball team from 1986-99.
The monetary donation for cancer research strikes a personal chord with the 49-year-old Dahlin. More than five years ago he was diagnosed with Stage 4 testicular cancer (he is now cancer-free). While going through a 12-week treatment program, he befriended Dr. David Groteluschen, who grew up in Marshalltown, Iowa, and graduated from the University of Iowa.
Dahlin's office at Nichols Paper includes an autographed photograph of Fry and a Kinnick Stadium souvenir brick. His favorite Hawkeye is Tim Dwight, which explains the selection of the 1996 Iowa-Penn State football game. In that game, Dwight scored his third collegiate touchdown with an 83-yard punt return in the first quarter. He also caught two passes for 77 yards.
So how will Dahlin pass the time on April 16?
Brian and Amy have been married 25 years. They have three sons — Brysson (19 years old), Drew (17), and Blake (14).


Trevor Ariza scored 20 points, including 18 in the second half, and made six 3-pointers. Jeff Green went 4 for 7 from beyond the arc on his way to 20 points, helping Washington shoot 54.5 percent (18 of 33) from 3-point range. It was the Wizards' first game this season making more than 50 percent of their 3s.

Siemens is asking for the largest nations to take cybersecurity seriously by making it a topic at the G7 meeting in France next year.
Over the past few years, cybersecurity has become a major concern for those deploying advanced automation systems. With major security breaches making headlines month after month, security is threatening to put a damper on digitalization. Cybersecurity has gained the attention of the C-suite globally. But Siemens wants to take it higher—up to the leaders of the largest governments. The company is asking for cybersecurity to be a major topic at the 2019 G7 meeting.
Earlier this year, Siemens teamed up with other governmental and business partners to present the Charter of Trust (CoT) initiative. One of the initiative's key goals is to develop and implement rules for ensuring cybersecurity throughout the networked environment. Those who have joined the CoT along with Siemens include MSC, IBM, Daimler, Allianz, Airbus, SGS, Deutsche Telekom, Dell, Cisco, TÜV Süd, NXP, Enel and AES, and Atos.
1.) Protect society from cyber threats and risks.
2.) Increase trust in digital solutions and provide competitive advantage.
3.) Accelerate customers' digital transformation and boost digital business.
The whole notion of smart technology hinges on trust, according to Schulz-Kamm. "There is no smart solution without security. Everybody is talking about smart, but it's not smart if it can be attacked," she explained. "If the customer cannot trust it, then everybody should take that seriously. Digitalization and cybersecurity have to move forward hand in hand."
