How will Christ Come?
Having considered in our last the object of our Lord's return, the manner in which he will come becomes to all who "love His appearing" one of great interest, and now invites your attention.
In order that we may have a good foundation, and as a basis for further investigation, we will first inquire. What is a spiritual body? What powers are theirs, and by what laws are they governed? We are here met by the objections—we have no right to pry into the hidden things of God: and, "Eye hath not seen, ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for those that love him." To both of these propositions we assent, but believe we cannot find out by studying God's word—and our investigation will be confined to it—what he has not revealed. The above quotation of scripture (1 Cor. 2:9) refers to the natural or carnal man, and by reading it, in connection with the three verses which follow the objection vanishes; for, says the apostle, "God hath revealed them unto us by His spirit," which was given to us "that we might know the things freely given unto us of God;" and in the last clause of vs. 13, he gives us the rule by which we may know, viz.: "Comparing spiritual things with spiritual." We are very apt to invert this rule and compare spiritual things with natural, and thus get darkness instead of light. Let us now use the apostle's rule.
There is a spiritual body as well as a natural body; a heavenly, as well as an earthly body; a celestial as well as a terrestrial. They are distinct and separate. (1 Cor. 15:38,40.) We know what the fleshly, natural body is, for we now have such; it is flesh, blood and bones; for "that which is born of the flesh is flesh," and since there are two kinds of bodies, we know that the spiritual is not composed of flesh, blood and bones, whatever it may be, it is a spiritual body, and "that which is born of the spirit is spirit." But of what material a spiritual body is composed, we know not, for "it doth not yet appear what we shall be; but we shall be like Him." [Christ.]
ANGELS ARE SPIRITUAL BODIES.
Christ was raised from the dead a spiritual body; this was His second birth. First, born of the flesh a fleshly body—for, "as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also Himself likewise took part of the same." (Heb. 2:14.) He was "Put to death in the flesh but quickened [made alive] by the Spirit." He was raised a spiritual body. This resurrection was His second birth. He was the "first born from the dead," "the first- born among many brethren." The church are those brethren and will have a second birth of the same kind as His, viz.: to spiritual bodies by the resurrection, when we shall awake in His likeness—being made "Like unto Christ's glorious body." But, this second birth must be preceded by a begetting of the spirit—conversion—just as surely as a birth of the flesh is preceded by a begetting of the flesh. Begotten of the flesh—born of the flesh—in the likeness of the first Adam, the earthly; begotten of the spirit—in the resurrection born of the spirit into the likeness of the heavenly, the second Adam. "As we have borne the image of the earthly we shall also bear the image of the heavenly." We may, then, by examining facts recorded of angels, and of Christ after His resurrection, gain general information with regard to spiritual bodies, thus "comparing spiritual things with spiritual."
First, Angels can be, and frequently are, present, yet invisible; for, "The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that are His, and delivereth them;" and "Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?" (Heb. 1:14.) Are you an heir of salvation? Then, doubtless, they have ministered to you. Have they ministered visibly or invisibly? Undoubtedly the latter. Elisha was surrounded by a host of Assyrians, his servant was fearful; Elisha prayed to the Lord and the young man's eyes were opened and he "saw the mountains round about Elisha full of chariots of fire and horsemen of fire" (or like fire). Again, while to Baalam the angel was invisible the ass' eyes being opened saw him.
Second, Angels can and have appeared as men. The Lord and two angels so appeared to Abraham, who had a supper prepared for them, of which they ate. At first, Abraham supposed them to be "three men," and it was not until they were about to go that he discovered one of them to be the Lord, and the other two angels, who afterward went down to Sodom and delivered Lot. (Gen. 18:1.) An Angel appeared to Gideon as a man, but afterward made himself known. An Angel appeared to Samson's mother and father; they thought him a man until He ascended up to heaven in the flame of the altar. (Judges 13:20.)
Third, Spiritual bodies are glorious in their normal condition and are frequently spoken of as glorious and bright. The countenance of the angel who rolled away the stone from the sepulcher "was as the lightning." Daniel saw a glorious spiritual body whose eyes were as lamps of fire, his countenance as the lightning, his arms and feet like in color to polished brass, his voice as the voice of a multitude; before him Daniel fell as a dead man. (Daniel 10:6.) John, on the isle of Patmos, saw Christ's glorious body, (Rev. 1:14) and describes the appearance in almost the same language—His voice was as the sound of many waters, His eyes as lamps of fire, His feet like fine brass as it burns in a furnace, (so bright that you can scarcely look at it), John falls at His feet as dead; but He said to him, fear not; I am He that was dead; behold I am alive forevermore. Saul of Tarsus saw Christ's glorious body. It shone above the brightness of the sun at noonday. Saul lost his sight and fell to the ground, &c.
We have thus far found spiritual bodies truly glorious; yet, without a miracle, either the opening of our eyes to see them, or their appearing in the flesh as men, they are invisible. This conclusion is further confirmed when we examine the more minute details connected with these manifestations. The Lord was seen of Saul alone, "they that journeyed with him...seeing no man." (Acts 9:7.) The men that were with Daniel did not see the glorious being he describes, but a great fear "fell on them and they ran and hid themselves." Again, this same glorious being declares: (Daniel 10:13.) "The prince of Persia withstood me one and twenty days." "Daniel, the man greatly beloved" of the Lord, falls as dead before this one whom Persia's prince withstands one and twenty days. How is this? Surely, He did not appear in glory to the prince; no; either He was invisibly present with him, or else
HE APPEARED AS A MAN.
Christ is a spiritual body since His resurrection. During the forty days of His presence before ascension, He appeared some seven or eight times to His disciples; where was He the remainder of the time? Present but invisible. Notice, also, that in each instance He is said to have appeared, or He showed Himself, language never used of Him before His change from a natural to a spiritual body; now, as angels do—He appeared &c. Not only so, but He appeared in different bodies—as the gardener to Mary, "after that, He appeared in another FORM to two of them as they went into the country." Notice, it was in another form and consequently not the same one in which he appeared to Mary. (Mark 16:12.) Afterwards He appeared in a body, either the same or like the one crucified, having the marks of the spear and the nails. "He came and stood in their midst, the doors being shut." On these various occasions He appeared, talked with them, then vanished out of their sight as the wind; they could not tell whence He came nor whither He went. "So is every one that is born of the spirit." When we are born of the spirit (at the resurrection) we can do so also. All spiritual beings exhibit this same power. But Jesus said: "handle me; for a spirit [pneuma] hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have" and He ate with them. True; I believe it. So did the angels [pneuma] (Heb. 1:7) appear as men in flesh and bones; they ate also; their spiritual bodies did not eat, nor were they flesh and bones, but the body in which they appeared was flesh, and it ate. The disciples did not see Christ's glorious spiritual body, but as He appeared in a fleshly body. St. Paul teaches us distinctly that Christ was raised from the dead a life-giving spirit, [pneuma, the same word used by our Lord.] (1 Cor. 15:44,45.) But where did He get the various bodies in which He appeared? I cannot answer you; but I believe, and you do also, other things which we cannot understand. I cannot understand how that grain of wheat grows. Yet I know it does. I know not how Christ turned the water into wine, or healed the sick, or raised the dead. Yet I believe that He did these things. Can you tell me where He got the clothes He wore after His resurrection? "They parted His raiment among them, and for His vesture they cast lots"—the old were gone, and the linen clothes lay in the sepulcher. Is it more difficult for spiritual beings, with their powers, to create a covering of flesh than a covering of cloth? No; the same power can and did do both.
Thus we have found Christ's spiritual body like those of angels; glorious, yet invisible to mortals, with power to manifest the glory; or appear as a man or in any form He may choose. In the resurrection we shall be like the angels; and "like unto Christ's glorious body." We shall be like Him; for (not until then) we shall see Him as He is," for though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we Him no more," [after the flesh.] (2 Cor. 5:16.) Such a spiritual being was Christ, at the time of His ascension, and with [R19 : page 2] what we have learned of the powers of that spiritual body, we are now, we hope, prepared to inquire:
"HOW WILL HE COME AGAIN?"
Briefly stated, we believe the Scriptures to teach, that, at His coming and for a time after He has come, He will remain invisible; afterward manifesting or showing Himself in judgments and various forms, so that "every eye shall see Him." But every eye will not see Him at the same moment. A similar statement is made of the Resurrection, "All that are in their graves hear the voice of the Son of Man and come forth." Taken by itself, this seems to teach the resurrection of all at once. Yet we know that there is a first resurrection composed of the "blessed and holy" only.
"Behold, I come as a thief" is the way He frequently spoke to His disciples of His coming. He comes "as a thief" for the church—the waiting virgins, both "they that sleep in Jesus"—the first resurrection—and "we, who are alive and remain," "shall be caught up to meet the Lord in the air; so shall we ever be with the Lord."
"In that day two shall be in the mill, two in the field, two in bed; one be taken and the other left"—like Enoch, who was not, for the Lord took him." The world will go on with its affairs, unconscious of the great changes of dispensation.
The second advent, like the first, covers a period of time, and is not the event of a moment. The first lasted nearly thirty-four years, and the events connected with it—His birth, baptism, sorrow, death, resurrection, etc., as mentioned by the prophets, all took place at the first advent. The second advent, as we have seen, lasts much longer. It includes the millennial reign, and prophecy covers all the prominent features of that reign. He comes to reign—must reign until He has put down all enemies; the last being death. 1 Cor. 15:25.
In the application of prophecy to the events of the first advent, we recognize order. Christ must be the "child born and son given" "before the man of sorrows and acquainted with grief." He must die before He could rise from the dead, etc. So also in studying prophecy referring to the second advent we must recognize order; we must judge of the order somewhat by the character of the event. As the wife is the glory of the husband, so the Bride is the glory of Christ, for we are to be "partakers of the glory that shall be revealed," (1 Pet. 5:1,10) and as the "glory shall be revealed [R19 : page 3] in us." (Rom. 8:18.) We know that Christ could not come in the glory of his kingdom [church] until he has first gathered it from the world. In harmony with this thought we read—"When He shall appear, we also shall appear with Him in glory." (Col. 3:4.)
The prophets foretold the sufferings of Christ [head and body] and the glory that should follow. If the sufferings were of the whole body, so is the glory we suffer with Him that we may be also "glorified together." (Rom. 8:17.) "Enoch prophesied, saying—the Lord cometh with ten thousands of His saints," [gr. hagios, never translated angel.] (Jude 14.) Again, (Zech. 14:5) we read—"the Lord my God shall come and all thy saints with thee." Thus we learn that when He appears in glory we are with Him, and of course, we must be caught to meet Him before we could appear with Him.
We have further evidence to offer, proving that He comes unknown to the world; but attempt to answer two supposed objections first; viz.: "This same Jesus shall so come in like manner as ye have seen Him go into heaven," (Acts 1:11) and "The Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the arch-angel and the trump of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise." (1 Thes. 4:16.) These Texts are supposed to teach that Christ will come visible to every eye, while the air is rent with the blast of the Archangel's trumpet, at which, mid reeling tombstones and opening graves the dead will be resurrected. It certainly has that appearance on the surface, and doubtless was intended to be so understood until due; but look at it again; would that be coming in like manner as they saw Him go? He did not go with the sounding of a trumpet and outward demonstration. It does not say you shall see Him coming, nor that any one would so see, but—He shall come. When he arrives it will be privately. He comes to organize us—the Church—as His kingdom; to set us up. He comes to be glorified in His saints in that day (2 Thes. 1:10.) The world saw him not after His resurrection; they did not see Him ascend. And "He shall so come in like manner"—unknown to the world. As He said, "Yet a little while and the world seeth me no more," nor will they see Him at His second advent until His church is gathered, for when He shall appear we also shall appear with Him." What, then, does the trumpet mean? Let us see. We are to be rewarded "at the resurrection," we surely will not be rewarded twice nor resurrected twice. We conclude, therefore, that the "Trump of God," (1 Thes. 4:16) and the "Last Trump," (1 Cor. 15:52,) are the same, differently expressed; the same events are mentioned as occurring at each, viz.: the resurrection and reward of the saints, and for the same reason we believe the "Trump of God" and "Last Trump" to be the "Seventh Trump" of Rev. 11:15,18. Under it also the dead are judged and the prophets and saints rewarded. Then the "Seventh Trump" is the "Last Trump," and is called, "The Trump of God," possibly because introducing the special judgments of God connected with the setting up of His kingdom.
These trumpets evidently are the same, but what? The seventh angel sounded. A sound on the air? No, not any more than the six which preceded it. They are each said to sound, and Sir Isaac Newton, Clarke, and all commentators of note agree that five or six of these trumpets are in the past. They have been fulfilled in events upon the Earth, each covering a period of time. They certainly must all sound before the resurrection, for that is under the seventh. If
THE SEVENTH TRUMP
were to make a sound on the air, it would be out of harmony with the other six of the series. That it covers "the great day of His wrath," the time of judgments upon the kingdoms of the world and of the pouring out of the "seven vials" of His wrath, the "time of trouble such as was not since there was a nation" seems more than probable, for we are told in the same sentence of the wrath of God coming on the nations.
We see then, that the sounding of the trumpets, and so coming in like manner, do not conflict but rather add force to the fact that He comes "unawares," "as a thief" and steals away from the world "His treasure, His jewels," remember too that this is Christ the spiritual body, that could not be seen without a miracle, that was present yet unseen during thirty-three days after his resurrection.
But will the world not see the saints when gathered or gathering? No; they are changed (in the twinkling of an eye) from Natural to Spiritual bodies, like unto Christ's glorious body, and in the instant of their change &c., will be as invisible as He and angels. But those who arise from their graves?—No, they were sown (buried) natural bodies, they are raised spiritual bodies—invisible. Won't the world see the graves open and the tombstones thrown down? A spiritual body (remember we are comparing spiritual things with spiritual, not natural) coming out of the grave will not make any more of a hole in the ground than Christ's spiritual body made in the door when "He came and stood in their midst, the doors being shut." But do not forget that only the church are raised spiritual bodies, all others, natural fleshly bodies as Lazarus, &c.
PRESENCE OF CHRIST BEFORE THE
RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH.
Christ's personal presence and ministry of three and a half years at the first advent, as well as the three and a half years which followed his ministry is termed—"The harvest." It was the harvesting of the Jewish or Law age. Christ was present as the chief reaper. His disciples as under-reapers; their work was separating of wheat from chaff and the gathering of the wheat into the higher or Gospel dispensation. That harvest was the end of that age. Jesus said to His disciples, "Lift up your eyes and look on the fields, for they are white already to harvest." "I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labor, other men (the prophets) have labored and ye are entered into their labors." (John 4:38.) That work was not general, nor for the world. He confined His labors to Judea, and the work to them did not cease until five days before His death, when he rode on the ass into the city, wept over it, gave them up, and their house was left unto them desolate. After His resurrection He sends the disciples to "preach the Gospel to every creature, beginning at Jerusalem"; nor were they suffered to preach to the world in general until the seven years of harvest work to that Jewish people was fully accomplished as God had promised. (Daniel 9:27.) "He (Jesus, chief reaper) shall confirm the covenant with many for one week, (seven years) in the midst of the week making all sacrifice to cease"—himself being offered—the true sacrifice. But these three and a half years of the Gospel age were a harvest to none but the Jewish church; the Gospel church does not reap but sows the seed. Paul plants, Apollos [R20 : page 3] waters, God gives increase, etc. But there is to be a harvest in the end of this age, as illustrated in the parable of the tares and wheat, and taught in the explanation of the same. Notice that both wheat and tares, are in the kingdom of heaven,—the church—and that this parable, as also the other six of the series, refers not to the non-professing world, but to two classes in the church.
The Son of Man planted the church pure, good seed. During the days of the Apostles there were special "gifts of the Spirit" such as "discerning of spirits," etc., by which they were able to prevent tares getting in among the wheat—hypocrites getting into the church. (Instance 1 Cor. 5:3—"Simon Magus"—"Ananias and Sapphira," etc.) but when the Apostles were dead, "while men slept"—the enemy began to sow tares among the wheat. Paul says that the mystery of iniquity had begun to work even in his day; now, they grow side by side in all our churches. Shall we separate them, Lord? No (we might make some mistake, pull up wheat and leave tares.) "Let both grow together until the Harvest." (Matt. 13.) The harvest is the end of the world" [aion age.] "In the time of harvest I will say unto the reapers—the reapers are the angels—gather together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn."
Notice, this Harvest is the end of this age, yet, like the one ending, the Jewish age, it is a period of time—"In the time of harvest"—secondly, there is order—"gather first the tares." There will come a time, then, in the end of this age, when the reapers—angels—will be present doing some sort of a separating work in the Church; and yet it is an invisible presence, for when the wheat is gathered (after the binding of the tares,)—translated, when "we which are alive are caught up to meet the Lord"—when taken they are in the field, mill and bed; would they be so engaged if they had seen angels going about gathering tares? No; it is an invisible work, done by beings invisible.
Again, before the living are gathered, the dead in Christ must have risen, whether it be but a moment before: "the dead in Christ rise first, then we which are alive," &c. (1 Thess. 4:16.) This harvest is not of the living only, but also of "the dead in Christ" "those that sleep in Jesus." The angels gather the living, but our Lord, who is the chief reaper here (as He was in the Jewish harvest), gathers or raises the dead. "I will raise him up;" "I am the resurrection and the life;" and in harmony with this thought, we find that in Rev. 14:15—"One like unto the Son of Man, seated on a cloud," reaps the earth. Here, two harvests, or two parts of one harvest, are shown, the second being the casting of the vine of the earth into the wine-press of His wrath. The special point to which your attention is called, however, is the fact that the harvest will go on without outward demonstration, the chief and under-reapers being present but unseen.
THE PRESENCE (PAROUSIA) OF
Some may have confounded these remarks on the presence of Christ in a spiritual body, with the presence of the spirit of Christ; but they are quite distinct. The latter never left the church; consequently in that sense He could not "come again." Of His spiritual presence he said: "Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world." We refer to the personal presence which did go away, and will come again—a spiritual body.
The Greek word generally used in referring to the second advent—Parousia, frequently translated coming—invariably signifies personal presence, as having come, arrived, and never signifies to be on the way, as we use the word coming. This fact is recognized by many who are looking for the Lord, but the error under which the church in general is laboring, is that of supposing that presence implies sight—manifestation—appearance. In the Greek, however, other words are used to express revelation, appearing and manifestation, viz: phaneroo—rendered shall appear in "when He shall appear, &c.,"—and apokalupsis—rendered, shall be revealed—2 Thess. 1:7. "When the Lord Jesus shall be revealed."
But we have Christ's own words to prove that He will be present in the world, and the world will not know of it. Matt. 24:37, we read: "As the days of Noah were, so shall also the parousia (presence) of the Son of Man be." The presence of Christ is not compared to the flood, but to the days of Noah, the days that were before the flood, as verse 38 shows; as then they ate, drank, married, etc., and knew not, so shall also the presence of the Son of Man be. The resemblance here mentioned is that of not knowing—they will not know of the presence of Christ. They may have been wicked then, and doubtless were, and may be similarly wicked in His presence; but wickedness is not the point of comparison, as then they ate, drank, married—proper enough things to be doing, not sins; so shall it be in Christ's presence. Now look at Luke 17:26, "As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of Man." Verse 27 tells us how it was in the days of Noah, they were eating, drinking, marrying, etc. "So shall it be in the days of the Son of Man." Surely the days of the Son of Man are not before His days, any more than the days of Henry Clay could be days before he was born. No; the more we examine the more we are convinced that the world will go on as usual, and know not until "the harvest is past, the summer ended," and they are not in the ark, not with the little flock "accounted worthy to escape." There will be no outward demonstration of the second advent having begun, and Christ being present, until the church is gathered, whenever it takes place—soon or in the distant future.
We think we have good solid reasons—not imaginations—not dreams nor visions, but Bible evidences (known to the majority of our readers) that we are now "in the days of the Son;" that "the day of the Lord" has come, and Jesus, a spiritual body, is present, harvesting the Gospel age; yet, as He had said, the world seeth Him no more; they eat, drink, etc., and know not. This day of the Lord, in which "He will show who is that blessed and only potentate, the Lord of Lords and King of Kings," is already dawning, but the majority of the professing church, as well as the world, are asleep; and to them—The day so cometh as a thief in the night. "But ye, brethren are not in darkness, that that day should come upon you as a thief." "We are not of the night, therefore let us not sleep as do others." This is the signification of our sub-title, "HERALD OF CHRIST'S PRESENCE." Not the worldly wise but those humble ones, wise from heavenly instruction are meant when it is written: "The wise shall understand," but "If thou shalt not watch thou shalt not know, what hour I will come upon thee." Take heed lest your hearts be over charged with...the cares of this life, and so that day come upon YOU unawares." The events of "the day of God Almighty" will next be considered.

CSRI Awards Professor Ellen J. Staurowsky with Sonny Vaccaro Impact Award
Holt Hackney Uncategorized March 30, 2022 | 0
The College Sport Research Institute (CSRI) at the University of South Carolina celebrated the in-person return of its annual conference by recognizing a legend in the world of college sport.
Ellen J. Staurowsky, Ed.D., is the 2022 recipient of the Sonny Vaccaro Impact Award, given to individuals who have made a positive impact on college sport by advocating for or defending college athletes' fundamental civil and human rights. Dr. Staurowsky is a long-time Senior Writer for Hackney Publications.
"CSRI is proud to recognize Dr. Staurowsky with the Sonny Vaccaro Impact Award. There is no scholar who has had a larger impact on college sport research than Dr. Staurowsky," says CSRI Director and University of South Carolina Professor of Sport and Entertainment Management Richard Southall. "Her groundbreaking research has laid bare the exploitation of NCAA profit-athletes, and informed and inspired an entire generation of scholars."
Staurowsky, a professor of sports media in the Roy H. Park School of Communications at Ithaca College, is a widely renowned teacher, author and researcher, internationally recognized as an expert on social justice issues in sport. She has earned numerous previous honors, including the Women's Sports Foundation Researcher of the Year award, the National Association for Girls and Women in Sport's President's Award, the Laughlin Education Award from Ursinus College and the CSRI Lifetime Research Achievement Award.
"It is deeply humbling to have been selected for the Vaccaro Impact Award. Sonny Vaccaro is an exemplar in speaking truth to power," says Staurowsky. "To be recognized as someone contributing to and carrying on his legacy is a tremendous honor."
Staurowsky is a leading advocate for gender equity and Title IX, pay equity and equal employment opportunity, college athletes' rights and ending the exploitation of college athletes, the faculty role in reforming college sport, representation of women in sport media, and ending the misappropriation of American Indian imagery in sport. She is co-author of the College Athletes for Hire: The Evolution and Legacy of the NCAA Amateur Myth and editor and author of Women and Sport: A Continuing Journey from Liberation to Celebration. She has published research in many scholarly journals and given expert analysis and commentary for many media outlets, and was the lead author on the Women's Sports Foundation's research report, Her Life Depends on It: Sport and Physical Activity in the Lives of American Girls and Women.
She currently serves as a contributing / senior writer with Sports Litigation Alert and Legal Issues in College Athletics and has served as a research consultant to the National College Players Association, co-authoring several reports addressing issues regarding college football and basketball player value.
The Sonny Vaccaro Impact Award was established by CSRI in 2017 in honor of Vaccaro, who became famous for his tremendous success over decades as a sport marketing executive with Nike, Adidas and Reebok. Vaccaro's greatest legacy, however, comes from his continuing work to change the fundamental structure of college sport. His relentless championing of the rights of high school and college athletes has included speaking on college campuses across the country, granting interviews and providing context for countless journalists, historians, documentary filmmakers, congressional staffers and college sport reformers, and convincing several lawyers to file lawsuits against the NCAA. He continues to speak truth to power and hold those who deny college athletes their fundamental rights up for public scrutiny.
CSRI, a research center within the University of South Carolina's Department of Sport and Entertainment Management, is dedicated to supporting interdisciplinary and inter-university collaborative college sport research. It serves as a research consortium for college sport researchers from across the United States and disseminates findings to academics, college sport practitioners and the general public. Its annual CSRI Conference provides scholars and students from across the U.S. with a forum for sharing their innovative work on college sport research.
CSRI also sponsors the Journal of Issues in Intercollegiate Athletics (JIIA) — a peer-reviewed, open-access resource that promotes discussion and examination of vital issues facing college athletics.

Note: I will be using a few print design terminologies here, and if you're unfamiliar with some of these terms, you can get up to speed by reading my guide on preparing your work for print.
Embossing and dembossing are similar processes that create a different result. Both processes involve making a metal plate and a counter. The plate is mounted on a press and the paper is stamped between the plate and counter. This force of pressure pushes the stock into the plate, creating the impression.
Embossing produces a raised impression on your paper stock, while debossing creates a depressed impression.
Be aware that embossing is a mechanical process that manipulates the paper stock, so by default, it will also manipulate your design.
Set your type with more space between letters than usual. If you put them too close to one another, they can merge and become one element once the embossing has been done. Embossing makes design elements look smaller and reduces the sharpness of smaller items.
There are two ways you can emboss your work at home: dry embossing and heat embossing.
Dry embossing, also called relief embossing, is done by tracing a stencil with some paper over it with a special tool called a stylus to get the raised effect on it.
Heat embossing, also referred to as stamp and heat embossing, is done by stamping an image on a piece of paper, sprinkling powder over the stamped image, and then applying heat.

Lamination can be a liquid that dries to a tough gloss or dull surface, or it can be a film. Both adhere to the surface to protect it and give it a sheen or a muted effect. The effect could be glossy, dull, or even satin (a look that's in between glossy and dull).
Gloss Varnishing A gloss varnish gives the printed surface a glossy, sheen look.
Matte Varnishing A matte varnish gives the printed surface a non-glossy, smooth look.
Silk or Satin Varnishing A satin varnish gives the printed surface a neither a high gloss or matte, but the middle ground.
UV Varnishing Ultraviolet (UV) varnishing is a process for achieving an even more striking type of coating on your printed material.
All-over UV varnish Simply put, this is a UV seal applied all over the printed surface.
Spot UV Varnish A spot varnish is applied to chosen spots (areas) of a printed piece. This has the affect of highlighting and drawing attention to that part of the design.
To get the gold /silver stamp, a foil layer is affixed to a certain material by a heating process. It isn't too complicated of a process and getting the files ready are quite similar to uv-spot printing. See my guide on preparing files for print as a reference and talk with your printer about how to supply the files. Foil printing normally requires vector images and/or outlined fonts of what you want to have stamped.
Thermography produces raised printing similar in appearance to engraving, but using a different process for attaining the effect.
In thermography, a special powder is added to the ink that is to be printed on the paper. The printed piece is heated, causing the powder and ink mixture to dry, which in turn results in a raised effect on the paper.
Die cut involves cutting irregular shapes in paper or paperboard using a die. A die can be used in printing for cutting, scoring, stamping, embossing and debossing. Dies are normally custom pieces, but your printer will usually have some standard dies (such as for rounded corners) available if you don't need a custom template; check with your printer to see what they have — it may help reduce the cost of printing a special piece.
Letterpress is the oldest printing process. In this method, a surface with raised letters is inked and pressed to the surface of the printing substrate to reproduce an image in reverse.
Typically, metal type has been used, but other possibilities include carved wood or stone blocks. Most popularly used on wedding invitations, this process can also be used to create unique business cards as well as other custom printed products.
Screen printing is a printing technique that uses a woven mesh to support an ink-blocking stencil. The attached stencil forms open areas of mesh that allows ink to transfer onto the material. A roller or squeegee is moved across the screen stencil, forcing or pumping ink past the threads of the woven mesh in the open areas.
Here are the 8 printing techniques mentioned in this guide.
Embossing/Debossing Embossing creates a raised impression on stock, debossing creates a depressed impression on stock.
Silk Lamination/Lamination Silk lamination provides a soft, silk-like finish, is water-resistant, is tear-resistant, and complements vibrant colors. The effect could be glossy, dull, or satin.
Varnish A varnish is a liquid coating applied to a printed surface to add a clear glossy, matte, satin, or neutral finish.
Foil A foil layer is affixed to a certain material by a heating process.
Thermography Thermography produces raised printing similar in appearance to engraving.
Die Cut Die cut involves cutting irregular shapes in paper or paperboard using a die.
Letterpress A surface with raised letters is inked and pressed to the surface of the printing substrate to reproduce an image in reverse.
Silk Screening A printing technique that uses a woven mesh to support an ink-blocking stencil. The attached stencil forms open areas of mesh that allows ink to transfer onto the material.


"It is evil to take lives and noble to save them. Each day I pledge to save a hundred lives. I drop my net into the lake and scoop out a hundred fishes. I place the fishes on the bank, where they flop and twirl. "Don't be scared," I tell those fishes. "I am saving you from drowning." Soon enough, the fishes grow calm and lie still. Yet, sad to say, I am always too late. The fishes expire. And because it is evil to waste anything, I take those dead fishes to market and I sell them for a good price. With the money I recieve I buy more nets so I can save more fishes."


DO you genuinely believe there's a way to stop the forces of time and gravity turning you into a haggard, wrinkly old sack of organs? These tips are for you.
Did you know what when you put a tomato next to a banana it ripens faster? This is the same principle, but in reverse. It's best to hang out with babies you know though, or you might get arrested.
If drinking lots of water helps keep you looking young, the next logical step is to be surrounded by water all the time by living in it. And if you happen to drown, you'll never age another day.
Pros: elevated eyebrows and a wide mouth will stop your face developing fine lines. Cons: people will be freaked out and stop speaking to you.
If you're in space you travel much faster than people on earth and therefore age slower. But never mind the science, you need to quickly figure out a way to make friends with Elon Musk.

AN EU report has warned that Britain could face civil unrest after Brexit. Here's what to do if you get caught up in a Brexit riot.
If Leavers target Remainers you'll need to escape from elderly people on their 'Brexit choppers'. Get in training by jogging round an empty car park with your nan trying to run you over at 3mph.
Violence and anarchy on the streets needn't be all bad. Encourage angry mobs to riot near Waitrose, Apple stores and Jigsaw so you can get the good stuff.
If you have to go toe-to-toe with a gammon, know their weaknesses. Show them a picture of Remain campaigner Gina Miller. Their already-high blood pressure will instantly incapacitate them with an aneurysm.
When you're running amok in Sainsbury's it will be tempting to grab expensive meat, chocolate and alcohol products. Stop your January diet and detox being in vain by stuffing your pockets with vegetables, Ryvita and couscous.
A yellow vest will be an excellent disguise in a pro-Brexit riot. If you're a puny middle-class chap you can also wear it to enjoy feeling working class and masculine – maybe even in the bedroom?

Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds responds on Wednesday, July 18, 2018, to a question from a reporter whether the abortion issue will be a factor in her choice of a new justice to fill a vacancy on the Iowa Supreme Court. William Petroski, bpetrosk@dmreg.com

WINTERSET, Ia. — Gov. Kim Reynolds wouldn't say Wednesday if the abortion issue will be a factor in her choice of a new justice to fill a vacancy on the Iowa Supreme Court.
Reynolds, a Republican who has repeatedly expressed opposition to abortion, has been provided the names of three finalists for the state's high court by a judicial nominating commission. The finalists are District Court Judge Susan Christensen of Harlan; attorney Terri Combs of West Des Moines; and Chief District Court Judge Kellyann Lekar of Waterloo.
Reynolds was asked during a news conference in Winterset on Wednesday whether the abortion issue will be a factor in her selection process. But she dodged the question, saying, "I want somebody that will follow the law and would revere the Constitution and follow the law. That is what I am looking for."
When asked a similar question a few moments earlier, the governor said she planned to have a personal interview with each of the three finalists as an opportunity to get to know them. She emphasized the need for upholding and following the law.
Reynolds added that she had interviewed one finalist so far and had two more interviews left to do. But an aide later said the governor had misspoken and that she had not interviewed any finalists. The governor plans to interview all three Supreme Court finalists on July 27, said Brenna Smith, the governor's press secretary.
The Iowa Supreme Court issued a landmark 5-2 decision in June that concluded Iowa women have a fundamental right to abortion under the Iowa Constitution. The justices threw out a 72-waiting period for abortions that Iowa legislators approved in 2017, but which had been placed on hold during a legal challenge by Planned Parenthood of the Heartland.
Iowa Supreme Court rejects 72 hour abortion waiting period Des Moines Register
Experts said Iowa Supreme Court's decision in the June case could dim the chances for a "fetal heartbeat" law signed by Reynolds earlier this year which would ban most abortions statewide after about six weeks of pregnancy.
Chuck Hurley, vice president and chief counsel of the conservative group the Family Leader, told reporters after the June court ruling he was shocked to read the majority opinion in the case. Hurley expressed hope that conservative lawyers could find a way to have the legal fight over the heartbeat law transferred to federal court, where it might find its way to the U.S. Supreme Court.
The odds of victory in the U.S. Supreme Court increased with news that President Donald Trump should be able to nominate a conservative justice to replace retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy, Hurley said. Trump has since nominated U.S. Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the nation's highest court.

[19:11:58] <KimK> Any git gurus around? I think I've hosed up git pretty good. To begin with, when I run "git branch", I get: * (no branch)<newline> master<newline> v2.4_branch<newline> Is that "* (no branch)" thing legit?
[19:13:48] <KimK> ha, that sounds about right. So I'm in "headless chicken mode"?
[19:14:02] <cradek> do you know how you got there?
[19:19:42] <KimK> Well, not exactly, but I made a big patch (covering 8 files, my first mistake?) to send to JT, and I didn't send it right away, and it got a week or two stale. So when JT tried to apply it there was a conflict on one of the files, so he couldn't apply any of the patch. So I tried to resolve the conflict, but git merge(?) would only say "You are in the middle of a conflicted merge", I couldn't get it to show me the "their version / my version" display..
[19:27:20] <KimK> Does git search my whole home directory for patch files? I thought if I moved them to my desktop, they wouldn't bother anything there, is that not so? I'd happily remove git and emc2-dev and reclone at this point, nothing seems right. Any advice appreciated.
[19:29:04] <KimK> Yeah, "it's impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious", lol. I forgot who said that.
[19:29:49] <cradek> do you have your patch so you won't lose that work?
[19:31:25] <cradek> er are you working on master or v2.4_branch?
[19:34:43] <KimK> git pull without --rebase?
[19:38:56] <KimK> So, what do you think, uninstall (completely) git, and delete emc2-dev and reinstall git and reclone?
[19:44:10] <KimK> OK, sure, I'll do that (wait awhile). But it wouldn't take long to re-git and reclone, and is kind of tempting. And if it *still* didn't work I have time to move all my work to the newer PC and wipe the old one.
[19:44:47] <cradek> yeah you could get a new clone and 'git am' your patch in it and be done.
[19:45:23] <KimK> git am? I don't know that one, I'll have to look it up.
[19:47:59] <KimK> There's a hole in most of these newbie guides to git, btw. They seem to say (blah, blah, how to get started), then at this point you resolve your conflicts if there are any, (blah, blah, how to finish up). It would be nice if they went into more detail on the "inherently obvious" part in the middle.
[19:52:50] <KimK> OK, well, thanks for helping, and thanks also for your advice on the graphics fix, which I have not yet completely tried. AXIS is working and git isn't, so git is first in line.

The thinking dog
Science embraces what many intuitively know: Animals have consciousness.
This was published on the Big Think website at the end of August.
Scientists Give Animals Consciousness
Nick Clairmont on August 29, 2012, 2:34 PM
What's The Big Idea?
Scientists have given animals consciousness. Not through complex manipulation of the brain or through genetic manipulation, but by publicly acknowledging the consensus, for the first time in such a straightforward way, that non-human animals, including some of our evolutionarily distant cousins, have awareness and experience like we do.
The declaration, called The Cambridge Declaration On Consciousness, was signed at the Francis Crick Memorial Conference of Consciousness in Human and Non-Human Animals in the presence of Stephen Hawking in July in Cambridge, U.K. by an international group of scientists including cognitive neuroscientists, neuropharmacologists, neurophysiologists, neuroanatomists and computational neuroscientists.
What do they mean by consciousness? The Declaration treats it as the same as the phrase, "subjective experience." Philosophers who share this view of consciousness with the scientists often say that something is conscious if there is "something that it is like" to be that thing. So, according to this, a rock is not conscious, because there is nothing "that it is like to be a rock."
The signing marked the first formalization of the scientific consensus about the consciousness of several non-mammals, including birds, octopuses and even bees.
So if we now turn to that Conference held in Cambridge, England under the subject of Consciousness in Human and and Non Human Animals, we see how that declaration reads,
We declare the following: "The absence of a neocortex does not appear to preclude an organism from experiencing affective states. Convergent evidence indicates that non-human animals have the neuroanatomical, neurochemical, and neurophysiological substrates of conscious states along with the capacity to exhibit intentional behaviors. Consequently, the weight of evidence indicates that humans are not unique in possessing the neurological substrates that generate consciousness. Nonhuman animals, including all mammals and birds, and many other creatures, including octopuses, also possess these neurological substrates."
The full document is really worth reading, by the way.
There is much more about the conference including some remarkable videos here, from which I will select two. The first one, in particular, is very moving, and upsetting! Be warned!
OK, forgive me but I'm going to state the obvious! Just read the entry on Wikipedia about Orangutans.
Orangutans are among the most intelligent primates and use a variety of sophisticated tools, also constructing elaborate sleeping nests each night from branches and foliage. The apes have been extensively studied for their learning abilities. There may even be distinctive cultures within populations. Field studies of the apes were pioneered by primatologist Birutė Galdikas. Both orangutan species are considered to be Endangered with the Sumatran orangutan being Critically Endangered. Human activities have decimated the populations and ranges of both species. Threats to wild orangutan populations include poaching, habitat destruction and the illegal pet trade. There are several conservation and rehabilitation organisations dedicated to the survival of orangutans in the wild.
'Among the most intelligent primates'! Yet again, an example of mankind treating the planet as a disposable item! A quick web search came across the Orangutan Foundation so as well as being saddened and angry, there is something we can do; support them.
The second video from that Conference website is about the intelligence of dolphins – enjoy!
Back to the Big Think article, which concludes,
What's The Significance?
The signatories have indicated that we cannot, at least certainly not for the reasons we have been giving, ignore the fact that animals have the same type of experiences that gives us a reason to treat other humans humanely.
Beyond the ethical ramifications, this declaration is another step in a long line of conclusions that the animal brain displays remarkable plasticity and is able to accomplish highly complex tasks in multiple ways.
While anyone who has gone to a zoo or owned a pet has at least temporarily thought of animals as conscious, there is still a large contingent that strongly believes that humans are exceptional in some morally and scientifically significant way. But, as Christof Koch, who co-presented the declaration notes, "The belief in human exceptionalism, so strongly rooted in the Judeo-Christian view of the world, flies in the face of all evidence for the structural and behavioral continuity between animals and people."
Well done those scientists!

Aston Villa's Jack Grealish: Steve Bruce has 'circus act' warning for winger
Bruce was speaking after the 1-0 defeat at Cardiff City
Mat Kendrick
Aston Villa's Jack Grealish has been warned by Steve Bruce that he risks becoming a "circus act".
Bruce was unhappy with the way Grealish remonstrated whenever he was challenged by an opponent in Villa's 1-0 defeat at Cardiff City.
The claret and blue boss believes Grealish does need more protection - but has told the winger to stop waving his arms around.
"He's a very decent player," Bruce told BBC Radio WM.
Aston Villa's Jack Grealish in action against Craig Noone of Cardiff City
"He has to be careful that he doesn't turn into a circus act, waving his arms around every time he gets challenged.
"We don't like that. On the continent they put up with that all the time.
"But we have to try and protect him.
"There's a number of times where they're kicking him and every time he gets it he gets kicked.

"But I've just said to him there he cant just keep waving his arms around because we don't want to see it in this country.
"We don't want to see it from one of our really good young players that in the end he gets booked and it puts you on a knife edge. But he'll learn. He's only young."
"He's got to learn not to react like he does.
"The arms rolling around and the rest of it - we're English and we don't accept it.

"All good players get kicked and he has to accept that will happen.
"We don't want to see the reaction that gets everyone else going.
"Everyone can see he's a good player so just let his football do it for him."

See WikiPatternLanguage, and see WhyWikiWorks for the "straighten the painting" story.
I think there are a lot of pages here, struggling to get out.
When I think of "How Wiki Works," rather than "WhyWikiWorks," I think of things like WikiProcess and social mechanics and things like that.
We're trying to figure out how to make good pages with wiki, that can be used to learn and remember things.
There's the idea that LinkLanguage makes it so we can express deeper thoughts.
The DocumentMode ends with questions: How do wiki and wiki society handle rules? What has to be in place for a wiki group to make good pages? What is the role of developing ideas in community forming, and vice versa?
DivergingArguments are sort of scary, so we should probably pick a thread, and go with that. Or, identify a "super-thread," and go with that.
There's an idea in the OneBigSoup of a IntComm:GroupServer. The GroupServer accounts for things like group decision making, and IntComm:ActivityAwareness?. This is where you would place your "government" specification. Wiki turn into DocumentServers? in the OneBigSoup.
There is a game called Nomic (NomicWiki:GameOfNomic.) I once wrote down a bunch of icons for Nomic, so that you could quickly write rules for it (NomicWiki:PatternLanguageForNomic.) Sadly, it seems I didn't put them on the wiki. (Damn!) But it's easy to reconstruct. You just make icons for rules of process- things like, "Everyone goes in turn," and "Follow this order," and "We're talking about this step here…" And you make icons for votes- "And then a vote is held." And variations on votes- "This is a blind vote," and "Requires 2/3 majority" and so on, taking advantage of an Visual:ArrangementOfGlyphs. You should be able to, pretty easily, make a notation for expressing rules and procedures.
I could imagine technology that alerts everyone if a certain interest is close to achieving massive power, by gaming the rules system. This reminds me of efforts to build SL4:FriendlyAI. You could even give metrics and warnings describing the "concentration of power." The "warning" circuit could even warn when it was about to be turned off, and require a deliberation before it's turned off..!
There's a lot of other things suggested here. It's just a matter of picking what to talking about, writing up a page for it, talking about it, etc., etc.,..
I would have deleted the page here, but I didn't want to not respond to your comment.
First, thanks for your time and thoughtful patience with my brain-dump. I've been doing alot of brain-dumping (aka writing) recently. But I really should read more here before making one big statement. Didn't mean for it to become a DivergentArgument?. I guess I sort of saw it as a possible topic under WikiAdvanceWiki … I am seriously only an egg here, looking back I probably should have just blogged it.
And eek, sorry for what a mess it was. I didn't mean to focus on the idea of rules at all. I think I'm always learning more and more here… my newest realization is about the granularity of concepts here… and the rhizomic movement from one concept to another. There seems to be some natural way to go, (I'm sort of like swaying my hands back and forth like snakes) so I'm just trying to find it.
Finally, affordances: I'm not sure what you don't know, so maybe this is very basic, and what you're really asking me is: what does affordances have to do with wiki? my understanding of affordances is rudimentary at this stage, but i'd like to know more, because i like these kinds of epistemological discussions, especially as a basis for understanding.
Affordances (from Gibson psych of perception) is a concept which can help frame discussions about technology and social interaction. It comes from the analysis of technology and society. Very basic overview: technological determinists would say 'technologies bring about (force or create) certain kinds of social outcomes'; on the other hand various anti-determinists theories disagree by saying that technological artefacts do not have inherent features which bring about certain social consequences, it is up to the interpretation (see social constructionists, guns v. roses argument against grint & woolgar, also bruno latour's actor-network theory); whereas the idea of affordances seems to lie somewhere in between by saying different technologies have particular attributes which limit how they can be read, and these attributes or opportunities or properties reveal themselves through activity, through use.
PS! if you want to delete the page after you read this, that's okey with me.
I decided that I need a few good MultiVariate? diagrams to use for posters on a conference or seminar. Not something simple to glance over while half-asleep during a presentation. Instead, something complex and bewildering. Something that needs text to understand, and yet feels as if it goes beyond the text. Maybe it adds links between disconnected features described in the text. Maybe it adds priorities or sequence where it was difficult to see in the text. I'm aiming for the curious / aha! / hm… effect. It is hard to put it into words.
It's easy to produce a good-looking PDF file from the source. Just mail me if you are interested and don't have xfig installed.
HowWikiWorks2Image, HowWikiWorks2Source – based on some discussion with LionKimbro on the WikiChannel: no circle, use arrows instead, no crowd happy with the changes, use "improvement" instead of "fix", put "reorganize pages" into the wiki maze, no more small arrow from old to new.
HowWikiWorks3Image, HowWikiWorks3Source – after trying some more suggestions by Lion, I tried something radically different instead: added crowd of enthusiasts back, moved rc from the middle to the right, a small circle is back, old, new, and diff in the middle now, reviewers on the far right.
HowWikiWorks4Image, HowWikiWorks4Source – liked how the wiki "maze" is better with the reorganization stuff appended and how the recent changes part with peer review and spam reverts is clearer. So tried to improve the rest: new/old/diff moved to the bottom, the editor was first moved to the bottom as well, and finally removed completely, the crowd was spread "all over the place".
HowWikiWorks5Image, HowWikiWorks5Source – after some feedback with Lion: removed the "electron" (dashed) arrows and replaced with an arced arrow, and added much more people.

CIVIL ACTION FILE NO. ______________ JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
COMPLAINT AND DEMAND FOR JURY TRIAL
Plaintiffs Interface, Inc., Interface Americas, Inc., InterfaceFLOR LLC, and FLOR, Inc. (collectively Plaintiff or Interface) file this Complaint and Jury Demand against Defendants Tandus Flooring, Inc. and Tandus Flooring US, LLC (collectively Tandus)1, and state as follows:
Interface filed a Complaint shortly after midnight today (February 26, 2013) with papers showing the contents of the Patent. See Interface, Inc., et al. v. Tandus Flooring, Inc., et al., No. 4:13-cv-00044-HLM. Interface is filing the present Complaint with a copy of the Patent as issued, and in an abundance of caution, because of the apparent malfunction of the Courts computer. The Notice of Electronic Filing records the entry of the documents as February 26, 2013, but records the filing of the documents as February 25, 2013. The receipt for payment
US2008 4378445 7
NATURE OF ACTION AND PARTIES 1. This is a complaint for damages and equitable relief arising from
Tandus acts of infringement of United States Patent No. 8,381,473 (the Patent). A true and correct copy of the Patent is attached hereto as Exhibit A. THE PARTIES 2. Plaintiff Interface, Inc. (Interface) is a corporation organized and
existing under the laws of Georgia with its principal place of business at 2859 Paces Ferry Road, Suite 2000, Atlanta, Georgia 30339. Interface is the ultimate of the filing fee, moreover, clearly shows that the original Complaint was filed after midnight on February 26, 2013, in accordance with the Courts Electronic Filing of Case Initiating Documents Users Manual and CM/ECF tutorial on filing case initiating documents, as well case law holding that a patent issues just after midnight on the day of issuance. Electronic Filing of Case Initiating Documents Users Manual, p. 5 (filing is accomplished upon completion of steps that come after the payment of the filing fee through pay.gov); see Encore Wire Corp. v. Southwire Co., No. 3:10-cv-86-BMGL, 2011 WL 833220, at *4 (N.D. Ga. Mar. 4, 2011) (holding that a patent issued at midnight on the date of issuance). The original Complaint, however, was dated by the Courts computer February 25, 2013, and the Clerk has stated that a Court order will be necessary to correct the Court record to show filing on February 26, 2013. If a dispute as to standing, jurisdiction, or venue should arise, Interface reserves the right to rely on the time shown on the receipt from Pay.gov, in combination with the Courts User Manual, tutorial and sequence of screens presented to a filer of case-initiating documents, to dispute the filing date shown on the Notice of Electronic Filing. If the Court finds it appropriate that the Complaint electronically filed at either 12:03 a.m. or 12:04 a.m. on February 26, 2013 should be deemed filed on February 25, 2013, Interface respectfully requests that it be permitted to withdraw the original Complaint, and that this Complaint be deemed filed on February 26, 2013 at the earliest time filing was possible.

JURISDICTION AND VENUE 9. This Court has subject matter jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to
28 U.S.C. 1338(a), because this is a case arising under the patent laws of the United States (35 U.S.C. 1, et seq., and particularly 35 U.S.C. 271), and also pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1331, because this matter involves a federal question. 10. This Court has personal jurisdiction over each of the Defendants
because each resides within this judicial district and because each has, either directly or through agents located in this judicial district, made, used, sold, offered for sale, marketed, distributed, or imported into the United States products that infringe, either directly or indirectly, the Patent. 11. Venue is proper in this judicial district pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1391
and 1400(b) because each of the Defendants resides in this judicial district within the meaning of such provisions and because each has transacted business and committed acts of patent infringement in this judicial district. FACTUAL BACKGROUND 12. In the mid-1970s, Interface was a pioneer in the use of textile-faced
modular floor coverings, known as carpet tiles or modular carpet in the United States. Interface was instrumental in creating what has grown to be a thriving market for carpet tiles, both commercial and residential. Interface continues to
innovate in this area, ever improving carpet tile technology and leading and expanding the market for carpet tiles. 13. Carpet tiles can be used in wall-to-wall installations or as area rugs
that do not cover the entire flooring surface. They offer many advantages over traditional wall-to-wall, or broadloom, carpet and traditional, one-piece area rugs. 14. One aspect of carpet tiles, however, is that they are relatively light,
and in a free lay (i.e., unsecured) installation they are prone to slide and shift positions when exposed to foot traffic, rolling loads, or even the swaying of tall buildings. This shifting can displace the tiles and create gaps at the carpet tile seams. Before the invention of the Patent, this issue was addressed by gluing carpet tiles to the floorapplying a layer of glue (usually to the floor, but sometimes preapplied to the back of the carpet tile), and then positioning the carpet tiles on the floor. This method of installation requires glue across the entire
flooring surface, with attendant material costs and labor costs. 15. Using glue to install carpet tiles presented a number of additional
problems. Glue gives off fumes that can affect indoor air quality. Before the glue goes on the floor, the entire underlying flooring surface must be cleared, cleaned, and prepared, and then after application it must be left undisturbed while the glue dries and cures.
Installation in, for example, a commercial office building
generally requires that the entire area be closed off and unavailable for use during preparation, adhesive curing, and carpet installation. Further, when tiles that have been glued down are removed from a flooring surface, glue residue or even portions of the tile backing may remain on the flooring surface, requiring removal to create a smooth surface before new carpet tiles (or other flooring) can be installed. Glue residue also can stick to the back of the removed carpet, along with adhered dirt, dust, small rocks or flakes of concrete, which make it more difficult to recycle these tiles. The difficulties related to removing and replacing carpet tiles that have been installed in this manner further increase the costs (both labor and material) of installation with glue. 16. Given the high material and labor costs of directly adhering carpet
tiles to the underlying flooring surface, and further given that installation methods such as using double or single-sided tape or indirect attachments did not sufficiently hold tiles in place to prevent gaps between adjacent tiles, Interface decided to develop an installation alternative that would provide greater efficiency, both in terms of costs (labor, material, environmental) and function (holding the tiles in place to prevent shifting and creation of gaps between carpet tiles). 17. After substantial research and development, the Interface inventors
discovered that it was not necessary to adhere its carpet tiles directly or indirectly
to the underlying flooring surface.
Rather, it was possible to create a stable
installation in which individual tiles stayed in place relative to each other in an array by securing the tiles to one another. This was achieved using connectors having certain combinations of characteristics that attached to the undersides of adjacent tiles and spanned across the adjacent tile edges. Linking the tiles together in this manner with these connectors created an installation in which gaps do not develop between tiles. 18. The connectors that Interface invented and patented are known as
TacTiles connectors and/or FlorDots connectors.2 19. Using TacTiles connectors for carpet tile installation significantly
reduces the time needed to prepare floors for installation and to install tiles. It also significantly reduces the business disruption previously associated with carpet tile installation. These advantages, as well as the environmental benefits of avoiding the use of glues, have made TacTiles connectors tremendously popular and successful. 20. As further alleged below, Defendant Tandus has begun to market, to
offer for sale, and to sell connectors based on Interfaces TacTiles connectors.
For ease of reference, both TacTiles connectors and FlorDots connectors are herein referred to as TacTiles connectors.
Tandus calls its products TandusTape connectors and/ or, on information and belief, TandusTape+ connectors. Tandus advertises that its TandusTape
connectors and/or TandusTape+ connectors permit glueless installation to create a stable installation in which carpet tiles will stay in place. PATENT AT SUIT 21. On February 26, 2013, the United States Patent and Trademark Office
duly and legally issued the Patent, entitled System and Method for Floor Covering Installation and naming Graham A. H. Scott, David D. Oakey, John P. Bradford, and Keith N. Gray as inventors. The inventors assigned the Patent to Interface. Interface is listed as the Assignee on the face of the Patent. 22. The Patent issued through a chain of continuation applications
concluding with United States Patent Application No. 12/270,129 that was filed November 13 2008, and published by the United States Patent and Trademark Office on April 16, 2009, as US 2009/0094919 A1 (the 919 Published Application). 23. The invention in the Patent relates to glueless installation of modular
floor covering units, such as carpet tiles. Before this invention, carpet tiles were almost universally glued to the floor to prevent them from slipping and creating gaps between tiles. This invention enables carpet tiles to remain in their relative
positions without the use of glue on the underlying floor. This is done with small, thin plastic connectors, as further described in the claims of the Patent. Interface has achieved substantial commercial success and industry attention through its carpet tile installations created with TacTiles connectors, which are commercial embodiments of the claims of the Patent. DEFENDANTS INFRINGEMENT 24. Defendant Tandus has directly infringed, or induced or contributed to
the infringement of, the Patent by making, using, selling, or offering for sale in this judicial district and elsewhere or importing into the United States connectors, including its TandusTape connectors and TandusTape+ connectors, that are used to create carpet tile installations that utilize, implement, practice, and/or contain each of the elements of at least one of the claims of the Patent. 25. Tandus infringement has damaged Interface, in an amount yet to be
ascertained, and has irreparably harmed, and continues irreparably to harm, Interface, including by usurping Interfaces sales and business opportunities, eroding Interfaces market share and prices, and damaging Interfaces reputation and goodwill.
