Personal Injury Lawyer in Naples, FL | The Law Firm of Anidjar & Levine, P.A.
Naples personal injury accidents can cause a lot of stress and leave you struggling to pay your bills. Luckily, you have the right to hold the negligent party responsible for your injuries, property damage, and other related costs.
At the Law Firm of Anidjar & Levine, we fight for the maximum amount of compensation available for all of our clients. Contact our Naples personal injury lawyers today at 800-747-3733 to schedule a time to discuss your accident and to learn more about your options for recovering the money you deserve.
What accidents qualify for a personal injury claim?
If you suffered an injury in a Naples accident and have questions about whether you qualify to file a personal injury claim, contact a personal injury attorney at our firm.
Who is liable for my personal injury damages?
You suffered injuries and/or financial damages as a result.
With this evidence, we can build a case to hold the at-fault party liable for their role in causing your injuries.
It is not uncommon in these cases for the at-fault party to claim you contributed to your own injuries. An attorney at our firm can build a strong case against the liable party to minimize any partial fault they allege. Florida has a comparative negligence law that reduces your compensation by your own percentage of fault for the accident and your injuries.
This means if you are 20 percent at-fault for your injuries, you can only recover 80 percent of the full value of your claim. Thus, it is vital that we establish not only the defendant's fault, but that you did not contribute to the accident, allowing us to maximize the compensation you recover. We do this by presenting thorough evidence and building defenses against allegations of partial fault.
Do I have to file a lawsuit to get the compensation I deserve after a Naples injury?
We will file your claim, present a strong case, and attempt to negotiate a fair settlement. Only when the insurance company fails to offer a fair settlement will you need to consider filing a personal injury lawsuit.
It is important to remember, states set strict time limits on filing personal injury lawsuits. Florida law gives you four years from the date of an injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. This may seem like a long time, but your attorney will need to build a case and file an insurance claim before deciding if a lawsuit is necessary. For this reason—and because claims against some parties may have shorter deadlines—we recommend contacting an attorney as soon as possible after your accident.
Do Naples car accident claims proceed like other personal injury claims?
While most personal injury claims begin with a third-party liability claim, car accidents are different. Florida is a no-fault auto insurance state, so the first resource for compensation after a crash is your own insurance policy. You must carry at least $10,000 in personal injury protection coverage to cover medical care for your injuries caused by the accident.
If you suffer injuries meeting certain criteria, Florida law does allow you to file an additional claim based on the at-fault driver's liability policy. An attorney at our firm will review the facts of your case and the nature of your injuries and determine if you qualify. If so, we can pursue a claim for the damages not covered by your personal injury protection (PIP) policy.
What kinds of damages are available after a personal injury in Naples?
We must present documentation of these losses to the insurance company to establish a fair value of your case based on these damages. Typically, the insurance company makes an offer, beginning a settlement negotiation process.
How can I contact the Law Firm of Anidjar & Levine about my Naples personal injury claim?
At the Law Firm of Anidjar & Levine, we know how stressful suffering a personal injury can be. It affects your physical, psychological, and financial health. By handling your insurance claim and fighting for the compensation you deserve, we can make recovering from your injuries a little easier. Call us today at 800-747-3733 and let us go to work on your case. We handle all personal injury claims on a contingency basis, so you owe us nothing until we settle your case.

25.07.2015. St Petersburg, Russia. Russian President Vladimir Putin (L) and FIFA President Joseph S. Blatter stand on stage during the Preliminary Draw of the FIFA World Cup 2018 in St. Petersburg, Russia, 25 July 2015. St. Petersburg is one of the host cities of the FIFA World Cup 2018 in Russia which will take place from 14 June until 15 July 2018.


Bayfol® CR is the brand name for our blend films made from polycarbonate and other engineering thermoplastics.
The transparent, translucent and opaque blend films have strengths including high heat resistance, impressive stiffness, good electrical insulation properties and excellent printability. Depending on which thermoplastic is blended with the polycarbonate, benefits can include better resistance to chemicals, greater elasticity and enhanced dynamic strength.
Bayfol® HX are our special films based on light sensitive photopolymers.
We are developing these unique photopolymers as a technology platform, targeting at tailored film-based solutions for a newly developing world of industrial holography. The target applications are manifold, reaching from holographic light-guiding elements for coming generations of mobile IT displays, head-mounted displays, automotive virtual reality displays or counterfeit resistant holograms for product protection and labeling of high-value consumer goods.
In focused customer development projects we want to help the industry to benefit from these new opportunities in diffractive optics, that everybody was dreaming about for a long time.
Bayfol® CR is a blend film of polycarbonate and polyester. This grade has outstanding cold-forming properties e.g. by high-pressure forming and has become established in the film insert molding (FIM) decoration process. Bayfol® CR has excellent chemical resistance and flexibility. The latter makes Bayfol® CR the optimum grade for producing film keypads and membrane switches.

2018 FIFA World Cup: Day 6-7 Tuesday / Wednesday Live Chat
Join us as we see out Round 1 and usher in Round 2 of 2018 World Cup Russia.
By David Brian Jun 19, 2018, 4:00am PDT
Share All sharing options for: 2018 FIFA World Cup: Day 6-7 Tuesday / Wednesday Live Chat
Today's match between Colombia and Japan will offer us our first view of the 2014 World Cup's leading scorer, James Rodriguez.
The World Cup has been flying by: Round 1 of the Group Stage finishes today, followed by the first game of Round 2. I hope you're enjoying the ride as much as I am!
Before we dive into today's action, remember that the deadline for roster changes for your McDonald's fantasy league closes at the same time Round 2 opens: 19:00 BST today, when Russia faces Egypt. If you haven't already, make your transfer (and initialize your round-2 captain! And unsubstitute as needed!) by clicking on "RD-2 MANAGE TEAM" and going from there.
Group H: Round 1
Tuesday, 16:00 BST: Colombia vs. Japan
This one is a replay of the group stage match from World Cup 2014 in which Colombia pounded Japan 4-1. There is a very real possibility that today's game will unfold in similar fashion. Colombia's James Rodriguez was the leading scorer of WC 2014, and his strike partner Radamel Falcao put up 18 goals in 26 Ligue 1 appearances for Monaco this season.
Meanwhile, Japan have conceded at least 2 goals in each of their three games under the leadership of their new manager, who assumed the reins only two months ago. Their suspect defense is likely to be exposed by a Colombian attack that was able to put 3 goals past France in a March friendly. As it did in 2014, this match up could easily end with another beat-down for the Samurai Blue.
Maya Yoshida will be familiar to our blog members who follow the English Premier League. The Japanese defender plays his club football for Southampton.

Tuesday, 19:00 BST: Poland vs. Senegal
This game features Bayern Munich's hitman Robert Lewandowski, who leads a Polish strike force that amassed 28 goals during qualification, 16 of which were Lewandowski's. Poland's back line has been a bit shaky though, and that will be welcome news for a Senagalese side that, despite the electric talents of Sadio Mane, has been relatively impotent recently. In their last five friendlies, they've produced only four goals.
I'm guessing the result is something like 2-1 for Poland.
Today we'll be treated to Poland and Bayern Munich's lethal #9, Robert Lewandowski.

Group A: Round 2
Tuesday, 22:00 BST: Russia vs Egypt
Russia is coming off the 5-0 shelling of Saudi Arabia and will want to virtually seal their promotion to the knockout rounds with a win over Egypt today. Egypt will be a tougher nut to crack than was Saudi Arabia though. And this time, the incomparable Mo Salah is expected to start, having watched from the bench as his team was defeated by a last-minute goal by Uruguay in Round 1. That loss means that a result today is crucial to Egypt's hopes for advancement.
The Russian side I saw on opening day was confident, composed, patient, and clinical. Granted their opposition was weak, but if they can maintain the form they showed in Round 1, then I see a victory in store for Sbornaya today, regardless of whether the Egyptian magician sees the pitch or not.
Mo Salah was forced to watch his team's Round 1 loss from the bench. Will he make the pitch today?

Group B: Round 2
Wednesday, 1600 BST: Portugal vs Morocco
The last time Portugal took the pitch, we were treated to one of the most incredible individual performances in the history of the World Cup. Ronaldo's three goals against Spain made him the oldest player to ever score a World Cup hat trick, and he joins the ranks of only three other players who have scored goals in four different World Cup tournaments. Morocco, on the other hand, were the first-round losers of a dismal match with Iran, and I can't see anything but another defeat in store for them again today. And for your viewing pleasure, here is another look at the man who is the main reason why Portugal will have more than enough to prevail today:
Wednesday, 1900 BST: Uruguay vs Saudi Arabia
The first round butt-kicking that Saudi Arabia suffered at the hands of the tournament hosts was so egregious that many fans were calling for manager Juan Antonio Pizzi to be sacked immediately. While Uruguay were lucky to snatch the three points from Egypt with a late goal from Jose Gimenez, they'll be licking their chops at the prospect of putting another layer of shellac on the hapless Saudis. And with the likes of Edson Cavani and Luis Suarez in Uruguay's side, this one could very well end with another demolition of The Green Falcons.
Luis Suarez will be anxious to take a bite out of Saudi Arabia's World Cup hopes tomorrow.
Wednesday, 2200 BST: Iran vs Spain
Spain must surely feel unlucky not to have taken full points from their meeting with Portugal. If not for an uncharacteristic goalkeeping error from David De Gea and a spectacular free kick goal from one of football's GOATs, Spain would probably have left the stadium with a victory. And although Iran was able to eke out a 1-0 victory over Morocco to climb above Spain in the Group, Spain's pool of talent dwarfs the quality in the Iranian squad. Not surprisingly, the Spaniards are heavily favored to win tomorrow, and I can't see it going any other way.
Isco was brilliant for Spain in the game against Portugal, and he should be set to shine again tomorrow against Iran.

The Freak Show of Formula 1
Mercedes leaving F1: A thorough Analysis
Fred (FreddsterExprs)
Photo Credit: Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport
For former active members of the F1 community, be it technicians, drivers or managers, the second career after actual involvement with a team usually keeps them in the environment of the sport. Mostly, the chime in with opinions, ignoring if they are asked or qualified. Guess what Eddie Jordan, once owner of a F1 team named after him, did today.
The Origin of Eddie Jordan, "the oracle of F1"
The opening paragraph might be a bit harsh on Eddie Jordan. After all, he did build his small Formula 3000 into a solid team within a decade, a team that even was somewhat of a championship contender with forgotten German upstarter Heinz-Harald Frentzen. After a sharp decline in the early 2000s and subsequent sale of the team which is now known as Force India, Eddie Jordan left the active side of F1 a rich man. His extroverted style of management and lifestyle in general made him uniquely qualified to comment on the sport as a whole, maybe only rivaled by legendary supermodel dating wily fox Flavio Briatore.
However, Eddie Jordan has gone further than just outrageous, entertaining comments: his predictions of future decisions earned him the reputation of being the "oracle of F1", with the basis basically being two right calls within three years.
First was the prediction of Michael Schumacher making a comeback in 2010. While being a brave prediction itself, it wasn't a wild guess free of facts or previously observable signs. Schumacher's decision of leaving Ferrari in 2006 was not free from pressure by then chairman Luca de Montezemolo; after leaving, the racing bug never quite left him, leading him to competition in the German Superbike championship; a fill-in role for injured Felipe Massa at his beloved Scuderia Ferrari was thwarted by a neck injury he suffered after a bike crash in the championship; and with Mercedes-Benz appearing on the F1 stage with a full blown works effort, no less by acquiring the then reigning F1 championship team, two very attractive seats were open for 2010.
Sure, Jordan overcame the doubts regarding a Schumacher return: why would a 7-time champion and arguably (and statistically) greatest-of-all-time racer make a comeback at the ripe age of 40, risking putting a stain on a legacy that only grew bigger with each season passing? All in all, it was a well-read educated guess and not an outlandish visionary telling, hardly oracle-level foresight.
The second prediction on which Jordan's reputation is built would be Hamilton leaving McLaren in favor of Mercedes-Benz. Again, doubts were present: at McLaren, Hamilton had the pleasure of driving a top-notch, constantly race winning car every year from 2007 to 2012, except for the first half of 2009. That's a very favorable quote of hits versus misses. Of the four years with real championship chances (2007, 2008, 2010, 2012), he only ended up victorious once, but Mercedes meanwhile only scored one single breakout win between 2010 and 2012 and struggled with development compared to Red Bull or McLaren. And it was unclear if Mercedes would even have a free seat, with Rosberg set due to his performance and Schumacher as the marketable legend alongside him.
Competitive alternatives to McLaren at the time were as follows: Red Bull had a stable driver pairing and a bunch of rookies lined up to jump in if given the chance. Lotus was financially unstable and unforeseeable, Ferrari a no-go with nemesis Alonso as the undisputed Nr.1 driver. Why not stay at McLaren?
Well, turns out that Hamilton was convinced by Mercedes finally raising the budgets to competitor levels, an upcoming heavy change of regulations towards which Mercedes was already preparing and promised freedom regarding personality development that included a hefty bump in salary. The latter especially was just unique selling point to lure him away from the strict regiment that was Ron Dennis' McLaren (if you wonder how strict: to this day, McLaren employees are not allowed to eat a sandwich at their office desks).
As such, this Jordan guess was indeed oracle-like, but once again it was logically sound and understandable if thought through. Hamilton really, really wanted to leave and there was one viable alternative.
His current oeuvre: Mercedes leaving F1
This lengthy explanation is necessary to understand why Jordan's newest glimpse into the future gained traction in motorsport media. In essence, he claims that Mercedes is preparing to leave F1 at the end of 2018 and will only retain a role as supplier of engines and gearboxes, which they are tremendous at.
The following reasons are given to explain the theory: Mercedes has dominated F1 in the least three years and will at least be a serious contender for the 2017 and 2018 titles, leaving little to gain from further involvement. On the marketing side, Daimler AG as the parent company is switching increasingly to electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles which do not go well with the high-profile racing team, resulting in the desire to cut back F1 cost, thus the board's desire to sell-off parts of the F1 business.
The first argument does carry some weight. Mass-manufacturer have come and gone in F1, and leaving often concluded with either championships or financial shakeups at the parent companies. However, Mercedes learnt the hard way why having a legacy in F1 is so important. It, simply put, attracts sponsors that can heavily offset the cost, gives you might at the negotiations table and guarantees additional significant bonus payments from F1's commercial rights holders. It took the involvement of Niki Lauda and longwinded discussions with Ecclestone to secure the then new Mercedes team conditions similar to the other big teams, and sponsorship has been on a constant rise since the championship winning streak. Ditching F1 would mean giving up all that earned reward.
The Mercedes F1 program has endured a lot of criticism from the notoriously conservative Daimler board. Before the budget increase of 2013, mentioned as a Hamilton convincing factor, a withdrawal was considered. However, the criticism pretty much died at the precise moment they began winning. From what can be gather so far, the endeavor is rather well received given its current state. And while there will probably be no period of domination even close to what Hamilton and Rosberg achieved in the last three years, race wins and championship fights still generate valuable headlines, probably worth more than whatever the bottom line of F1 racing is.
The second argument's closest indicator of validity is a management decision made by Mercedes Grand Prix in late 2016. Back then, Toto Wolff announced that they acquired the rights to participate in Formula E, the exponentially growing all-electric formula racing series, from 2018/19 onwards. Linking an involvement in that series directly to an F1 exit would be shortsighted. First of all, Mercedes is not yet committed to Formula E. What they have is, simply put, an option to participate – or not, depending on their evaluation of the series. Secondly, a full Formula E operation can be successfully executed with a budget that, compared to what is spent in F1, is miniscule. Think one tenth of the cost. Doing both could be very much accomplished from the F1 factory, or the Formula E development outsourced to the company that builds Mercedes GT3 and DTM cars: HWA in Germany.
A lacking link between the road cars Mercedes will sell in the near future and the race cars could prove more fatal. It is hard to promote similarities between the petrol-powered race car driven by an elite athlete who is payed millions for his services and the hybrid/electric, semi-autonomous cars customers are told to buy. In the end, the marketing benefit would be solely for the brand and not for specific products, but that argument can already be made today: despite a new branding exercise in which both the F1 race car and the new hybrid road cars are labeled "EQ Power+", a customer is unlikely to buy that car due to the performance of Hamilton and Bottas on a race track. The time when F1 was an actual laboratory for road car development is long gone, and at least since the 1990s it has been an exercise in prestige building.
Compared to the predictions discussed before, the argumentative justification is thin. Of further note is the suggest of Eddie Jordan for Mercedes to return to only supplying racing engines: Honda and Renault have proven how unrewarding the experience can be, both in case of success and failure. And even with three to four customer teams, a competitive operation worthy of Mercedes-Benz would not be cost neutral. At that point, there really is nothing to gain for Mercedes apart from maintaining ties to the business in case of a return. Then again, a return after leaving F1 and spending so much time and effort on getting where you are would be incredibly inefficient.
The future of F1 and why leaving at this moment would be foolish
Formula 1 was just sold to new, American owners, and after years of Ecclestone dictatorship things are about to change under Liberty Media's ownership. Whatever the results, expect F1 to be very different come 2021. Chase Carey, new chairman of F1, just confirmed that Netflix-style over-the-table-content is perfect for a data-heavy and visualization-driven sport such as F1. New engine rules are currently discussed, set to fix the sound problem of the current generation V6 while also lowering costs and ensuring competitiveness. New chassis regulations are possible, and even the mystical budget cap is talked about again.
All of that points towards the chance of being part of a growing business if you are a F1 team. It could even mean that participating results in actual profits, if costs are cut as promised and spectatorship (and its monetization) rises. In the end, a manufacturer like Mercedes who does not require massive investments for the sake of competitiveness could end up with the same headlines and make money doing so. To bet on this chance, you'd have to stick with F1, and the bet is not a moon-shot. Doesn't sound like leaving prospects to me.
If we disregard the rosy future talk, Mercedes leaving, however unlikely it might be, tears a giant hole in the paddock. F1 would be missing out on a true mass premium manufacturer and on the team that pays the salaries of four drivers, two of which are young talented racers that could shape F1's future once Alonso, Vettel and Hamilton are retired: Ocon and Wehrlein. That's a heavy deficit with no manufacturers lined up to replace the three-pointed star.
I will end this little essay with some calculated optimism. Even if Mercedes decides to pack it up, other racing series showed this year that the sport itself might actually benefit. VW left WRC and enabled four manufacturers to finally have a more or less leveled fight for the championship after a tiring dominance. Citroen left WTCC after ridiculing the other participating brands, and now there's a proper back-and-forth racing between Volvo, Honda and some private Citroens. Sure, they all lost big spenders, but the sport survives. And so will F1.

Greensand Country covers 40 miles of scenic landscape, which is defined by the Greensand Ridge and reaches three neighbouring counties: from Cambridgeshire in the East, across Bedfordshire and to Buckinghamshire in the West. The area's unique landscape and geology results in a place of rich natural and cultural heritage.
It's no accident that Greensand Country is distinct from its surrounding areas. The acidic soil found here, resulting from the special geology of the Greensand Ridge, meant that the area was less well suited to agriculture and was instead used for the siting of monasteries. Following the dissolution of the monasteries, the land was given to major landowners who established their own stately homes and gardens, deer parks and estate villages. Towards the middle of the 19th Century the railways, brought by the Industrial Revolution, transformed local towns and created new industries such as quarrying, brick making, cultivation and milling.
It is this mixture of historic parkland, estate villages and former industry – together with the patchwork of habitats along the Greensand Ridge itself – which combine to give Greensand Country the unique 'sense of place' that is cherished by residents and visitors today.

How long is the Greensand Ridge Walk?
The Greensand Ridge Walk is a long-distance walk of 42 miles that crosses Bedfordshire, with brief sections in Cambridgeshire and Buckinghamshire. From its southern endpoint at Leighton Buzzard the route runs north-west to Gamlingay, following the Greensand Ridge, a distinctive feature that rises from surrounding clay vales to give a landscape of gently rolling hills and small valleys, often heavily wooded and rich in wildlife.
The Dormouse are back in town
In 2001, Maulden Wood was chosen as the location to re-introduce the endangered hazel dormouse as part of English Nature's Species Recovery Programme.
In the years since, a group of volunteers from the Bedfordshire Dormouse Group has regularly monitored the dormice and it has recently been found that they have started to spread out of the wood.
The Maulden Dormouse Project aims to support the dormouse re-introduction into the future by raising awareness of the project locally among the communities and landowners around Maulden Wood and supporting the volunteers who monitor the re-introduction. It is hoped this will encourage beneficial management of hedgerows and woodlands around the wood and also lead to more survey work outside the wood to help monitor the spread of the dormice. As part of this work we have put together an information sheet about Maulden's dormice available here.
This project is being supported by the D'Oyly Carte Charitable Trust, the People's Trust for Endangered Species, the Beds Natural History Society, the Beds Mammal Group and the Forestry Commission.
Why is the rock called Greensand?
There are strict rules for the naming of rocks which are usually named after the best place to see them. The term Greensand, formulated by the Victorians, was originally applied to green coloured sandstones of mid Cretaceous age found in the west of England. The green colour comes from the blue-green iron-rich clay mineral glauconite which was prevalent in that area.
However, sandstones of the early Cretaceous age found in Bedfordshire rarely show enough glauconite to make them green.
You can see bears!
A public footpath - part of a lovely circular walk and the Greensand Ridge walk - runs along the edge of Woburn Safari park. You can often see rhino, bears, elephants, camel and more.

We shall do whatever it takes to get Akufo-Addo re-elected – Nana B
The National Youth Organiser of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Henry Boakye says the youth of the party will do everything it takes to ensure the re-election President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
Henry Nana Boakye, popularly known as Nana B, urged the party's youth wing to rally behind the President's bid for a second term.
He said the NPP government has already implemented projects and policies to improve the lives of the youth and will do more should Akufo-Addo be retained.
Nana B said this during the party's celebration of the International Youth Day on Wednesday, August 12, 2020.
"Today we have this pandemic which is global in nature and we never anticipated it, but yet, President Akufo-Addo has cushioned youth in the country," he said.
"This year's election is going to be an election Ghana has never witnessed before because young persons would like to have massive mobilisations and a year we would have seen a lot of youth rallies but unfortunately, because of the pandemic, we cannot.
"But we the youth, we are assuring the New Patriotic Party that whatever it takes and any new strategy we can come up with to make sure Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is elected for the second term and Alhaji Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia also as the Vice-President, we shall do it."

spectrumbot (Spectrumbot) December 31, 2020, 4:05pm #1
In a significant percentage of all movies ever made there is an unstated, but definitely understood, compact between filmmaker and viewer. It is that everything will turn out all right in the end. In the Action/Adventure genre, for example, you have the hero(ine) – from James Bond to Indiana Jones – facing wild and dangerous obstacles, which consumes the majority of the running time. Yet they come out unscathed in the end. In RomComs (Romantic Comedies) the eventually-happy couple typically "meet cute," then have some misunderstandings, conflicts or external circumstances that threaten their relationship. But again, after stumbling through a convoluted and often farcical plot, they finally recognize their love for each other and are reunited at the final, fade-out kiss. Audiences have always expected such resolutions and likely would not lay down whatever admission fee (whether movie ticket price or even time expended) if this tacit contract was violated. Such movies are often called escapist because they can be counted on to provide a happy ending, thus escaping the often distressing problems that real-life brings. It's the "thrill of the chase, with none of the risk."
This well-known phrase captures an aspect of human psychology that is not confined to movies. In literature it goes back at least as far as Gothic Novels (wonderfully satirized by Jane Austin in Northanger Abbey). In video games we are the "hero" that is placed in dangerous situations, and we often get "killed" in such games. But it's not real and we have yet another life. Or, if the game does end, we can start a new one whenever. There still are no real consequences to us.
But this psychological phenomenon also shows up in other, quite surprising places and contexts. Like, for instance, Sabbath School.
The Riskless Narrative
Now, I'm getting to be an old guy, and I've attended SDA churches my whole life, including countless Sabbath School classes. And Adventism, in case some readers are unaware, has had a long history of placing eschatology – "last days" events – at the center of our sub-cultural narrative. The primary reference that built the story is Ellen White's 19th century book The Great Controversy. Additionally woven into that was Uriah Smith's Daniel and Revelation. The intensity of Adventist focus on what supposedly will take place just prior to Christ's Second Advent has diminished somewhat during the past 50 years or so, but it is still deeply embedded into the SDA psyche. Thus, when Sabbath School discussions move through material that references this story – whether a direct discussion of prophecy or even some allusion to current events – you might easily hear comments from participants like: "We know that … will happen," or "We've been shown that … will come in the last days." This alignment and commitment to the Great Controversy narrative is more parallel to the sort of movies I've described above than one might think. In both situations the ending is presumably known. There is conflict initially, but also an expectation that it all finally works out great in the end for the "hero." And in eschatology discussions the hero is, of course, us! Adventism – the Remnant Church. Thus it is satisfying to return again and again, in church discussions, to a reaffirmation of our specialness. We "know" there will be terrible trials for Adventists just before Jesus returns. This period has a name – The Time of Trouble. But we also know, having read the whole "book," that we triumph in the end (where "triumph" means faithfulness to God). Thus, referencing these upcoming trials, with a known good final-outcome, again constitutes "the thrill of the chase with none of the risk."
This is comforting, of course, assuming the story is either never seriously questioned or can pass any pushback tests proposed by those not invested in its correctness. But here is where the difficulty lies. A naïve acceptance of any story has the risk that it cannot survive analysis. That may be because the story is false, but also possibly because we have never developed critical thinking skills so, when a seemingly solid counter-argument is presented, we become confused and our former confidence is eroded. And here the risk shifts to what is sometimes called a Slippery Slope. In essence, we might think that if this story is false then what else is false in our belief structure? Perhaps it's all "cleverly devised fables." And such an idea – even if fleeting and somewhat subliminal – can really freak people out, as confidence in their Christian narrative is what undergirds hope for future eternal life. Thus fractures in this world-view can be perceived to have devastating consequences. Now, you might think that if such a problem were to appear on a believer's radar, there would be motivation toward deeper investigation. But far too often the result is to suppress the unsetting information and/or argument, as working problems through involves serious effort, and ambiguity in the interim is upsetting.
The word "inoculation" is defined as: "artificially inducing immunity against various infectious diseases." But here I wish to consider it analogically. Inoculation in this context consists of providing a limited but effective counter-argument to the disturbance the believer experiences when something causes the certainty of a "happy ending" to be at risk. Consider now two examples of what I consider to be inoculation.
1) Mormon history: Many years ago my wife and I moved to an area of the U.S. where the LDS (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or "Mormon") religion and culture are dominant. Prior to moving I spent considerable time studying the history and doctrines of this faith. After settling in I learned there was a church-run Institute of Religion adjacent to the local university. Its purpose was to provide religious training to the many LDS students at the school. And the classes were both free and open to the community. So I decided to attend, and went through the full 24 credit-hours of instruction, which took (as I recall) two semesters of spare time. One of the most interesting classes I took was on Mormon Church history, taught by a very gifted and revered professor. But one of his main goals in the class – so say I – was to inoculate those students against possible faith-loss if and when they might subsequently encounter some unsavory bit of LDS history. And there are plenty of candidates. So he would explore some topic – like the Mountain Meadows Massacre or the Book of Abraham – and proceed in such a way that it seemed like this event or issue was unsolvable or would have a very bad outcome, and thus the subject would be damaging to the students' faith. Then he produced a "happy ending" by adding some extra detail or explanation that suddenly made the whole thing seem fine. Thus the students now could feel they had a satisfactory answer should they ever be confronted with the topic by someone unfriendly to the faith. Then, by extension, they might also conclude that other historical problems could be solvable in the same way. So, no need to investigate further. This is inoculation. But there was a problem. The teacher was not telling the whole story. And I knew that because I'd previously immersed myself in LDS history – specifically considering some of these more dicey topics. So he wasn't "playing with a full deck." And had this additional information been presented, the solution he provided would have been badly undermined. Now, I was cautious enough (more likely conflict-adverse) that I didn't bring up these additional details in class. And, even if I'd tried to do so, the teacher had all the credibility and authority. I did, however, once discuss a difficult topic with him one-on-one, in his office. He conceded that the extra info I added to the story was true. But he unsurprisingly would not admit that the additional information undermined his "solution."
2) Young Earth Creationism (YEC): Many conservative SDA readers will likely dislike this example because they disagree with my view – that YEC is false. Yet, while well beyond the scope of this essay, anyone with an open mind, a reasonably logical thought process, some scientific literacy and a willingness to examine the evidence, can see why virtually all scientists working in the relevant fields reject YEC as pseudo-science. But how can it be used to inoculate? In analogous fashion to the LDS example, above. A Christian, believing the earth was created recently (i.e. 6,000 years ago, per Bishop Ussher), encounters disturbing scientific counter-arguments that seem hard to refute. And the believer lacks the literacy to do so. But they then can turn to YEC websites, where arguments seem to be presented as valid science, and be comforted that there are, indeed, "scientific" answers that allow them to retain their YEC position. And frequently they then see no need to review the unsettling evidence/argument further, or give consideration to any other disturbing information. All because a comforting "expert" has provided a science-sounding rationale for what they want to believe anyway. Inoculation.
My examples use inoculation to prevent a slippery slope. But (in my opinion) in service of error. Now most readers likely hold essential Christianity to be true, whether or not tangential details like the SDA eschatology roadmap, can hold up. So, does inoculation apply in the more foundational context? I'd say – yes and no. All analogies have limitations, and this one certainly does. But, if there were some sort of inoculation mechanism to protect Christian belief from being destroyed I think, ironically, that it would be when believers encounter an unfixable problem in their belief structure. And are forced to modify their understanding. Then they discard the original as unworkable and wrong, replacing it with something that genuinely is better grounded. This can produce and reinforce openness and humility.
But the more foundational problem with Christian belief system failure is when the structure is grounded on narrative and not relationship. What do I mean by this? We like the thrill of a chase without risk because we are comforted in the belief that we know how the story will turn out. And, of course, foundational Christianity does have a story. But if our faith is grounded too much on story and not a God-relationship, then it has fragility if some non-essential detail of the story cannot withstand scrutiny. We wish for certainty, but if we are primarily invested in the certainty of religious detail, we build on a house of cards. Relationship is far less fragile. The strength of Christianity is how the Bible uses the story line of Jesus – as the approachable God – to give us the opportunity for, and reality of, a genuine living bond between ourselves and God. Religion deals with reality, not a plotline that we have to keep intact to avoid a slippery slope. The sooner we move away from grounding religious belief in a "riskless chase" the more shock-proof our Christianity will be.

Of course the "elephant in the room" is the extra-biblical certitude, never mind the scientific arguments. Both groups, LDS and SDA's have been "inoculated" through their extensive educational systems way before confronted by science. For SDAs, to even consider the science is to turn their entire religious, cultural, and scientific paradigms upside down. That would be too much trauma.

Thank you for this. I am in the same boat as you are, and I think the issue is a bit more fundamental, and Adventists are coming late to confront the real nature of this issue.
I went to a fundamentalist U that had a "faith crisis" when it came to one fundamental question:
Can and should we be absolutely certain about our understanding of Christian claims?
That question resulted with purge of Biblical centrists who tried to create viable interface with present day culture and metaphors of the past. And it resulted in shut down of philosophy department, with only few classes in philosophy offered.
The core of fundamentalist problem is two-fold:
It believes in a static nature of language in its adherence to literalism.
It claims absolute certainty, largely via presupposing high-level doctrine and working backwards to validate and support it.
These two issues, which are also integrated into Adventist theology, become the reason for generational animosity, and diminishing functional unity.
In fact, at broader scale, these issues are the very reason why we have several generations of people in American culture growing up with severe "mommy and daddy issues", and joining the movements that speak that "anti" language that by proxy rejects belief in God all together, or replaces it with something else.
The way I see it, the only viable remedy is:
We must formulate a stronger and more coherent philosophical framework upon which we structure the rest of our claims. It has to be much better than "Bible says that" or "here's a belief for you to recite".
With #1 in mind, we need to back to the linguistic basics and and rebuild a coherent framework of Biblical meaning. Words are signifiers of meaning. Meaning shifts with our understanding, even when words may remain the same. Meat used to be "food", and now it's specific. "Cool" is now used more to describe something other than temperature. We should stop assuming that people will have the same understanding of words like love, justice, freedom. We should stop pandering to intellectual laziness of vague abstractions that subsequent generations have to both guess and reconcile with present cultural meaning. We should stop using vague placeholders in order to fake our adherence to Biblical literalism.
Lastly, we need to be honest about inherent uncertainty for claims that we are not certain about. Most of the Pastoral and theological certainty is confabulated and projected from a pulpit through repetition and mantra. Hence, when mantra is gone… so goes the certainty. Certainty is knowledge. Belief is inherently uncertain. We don't know. We believe. We have a promise of certainty. But our quest for certainty is what drives human experience and development. True religion should never rob us of that by pretending to be certain.

Relationship is far less fragile. The strength of Christianity is how the Bible uses the story line of Jesus – as the approachable God – to give us the opportunity for, and reality of, a genuine living bond between ourselves and God.
Isn't this the purpose of religion?
Over time our understanding of God should and will evolve. Not that God changes, but our understanding of Him should. Religion tends toward the stale and stagnant, but our relationship with God and truth should progress with changes in our understanding of all the evidence: science, history, and inspiration. As we develop better tools of understanding we should expect changes in our understanding of God. If our relationship with God is weak, these changes in knowledge of science and history may be unsettling at best. Fear tends to keep people from exploring new truth.
Religion tends toward the static. Relationships do not.

this reductionist oversimplification, with its stereotypical if not ad hominem tinge, is a good illustration of why the discontinuous conversation between creation science and evolutionary science is probably on the verge of an irretrievable ending…in the first place, the assumption that a typical YECer finds evolutionary arguments "disturbing" is probably wishful thinking…but in the second place, turning to YEC websites for articles written by scientists with the same degrees from the same universities as evolutionists is hardly an escapist reflex…many of these articles, even the ones that condense and summarize complex material, require at least some scientific background to fully digest…as for the abstracts frequently listed in bibliographies from and references in these articles, these require even more background…
the reality is that evolution claims to be the arbiter of what origins science must consist of in order to be science, notably an a priori exclusion of divine intervention, along with endless assumptions based on uniformitarianism, none of which can be proven…it then pretends to be objective when its conclusions collide with the concept of divine intervention and earth-altering catastrophism highlighted in inspired texts like the bible…these pretensions mount in the face of demonstrated problems with dating mechanisms, not to mention actual fraud, notably with claims made in various iterations of so-called primitive humans…the escape mechanism is always, and conveniently, that science is evolving, and adjusting to valid evidence…by defining terms of engagement, while rejecting everything outside of those terms, it's quite quotidian for evolutionary refutations of YEC claims to apply parameters within which these YEC claims were never made…but this little detail is never disclosed (it may not even be comprehended by the evolutionist refuting the YEC claim)…
what evolutionists would do well to consider is that science can exist, and develop, outside the boundaries they have arbitrarily instituted…they would do even better to acknowledge that their theories, which adventist evolutionists tend to view as factual, are logical interpretations of evidence only if their unprovable starting assumptions are accepted…this acknowledgement stands a chance of saving the conversation with YECers, along with other creation scientists…without this acknowledgement, evolutionists are merely traveling in their own slow and predictable orbits, which average YECers understandably feel no compulsion to explore, or take seriously…

I wholeheartedly agree.
Might I suggest we start with studying more literal translations of the Bible.
Here are a couple of quotes from the introduction to 'The New Testament', a translation by David Bentley Hart, an ancient scholar and linguist of some repute:
'To be honest, I have come to believe that all the standard English translations render a great many of the concepts and presuppositions upon which the books of the New Testament are built largely impenetrable, and that most effectively hide (sometimes forcibly) things of absolutely vital significance for understanding how the texts' authors thought.'
'After all, most modern readers are separated from the New Testament not only by the obvious differences in language, culture, and intellectual formation that put them at an immense historical remove from the authors, but also to a considerable degree by the doctrinal expectations that have shaped the decisions of translators for centuries.'
'…particular translations have had enormous consequences for the development of theology…'
He also writes that many readers will be 'somewhat taken aback' by his translation of the original Greek words they are used to reading in English as eternal, forever, redemption, justification, repentance, predestination, world, hell, and so on.
In his postscript, Hart includes a glossary which details his reasoning behind many of the English words he has chosen to translate the Greek words passed down to us from ancient manuscripts. I believe the book is worth acquiring solely for this glossary (incomplete as it is) as it provides one an introductory explanation into how the ancients understood certain key concepts and how unfaithful to the ancient understanding many modern translations are.
To put it in Arkdrey's words, as I see it, this step of getting back to the 'linguistic basics' (of more accurately comprehending the concepts the authors of the Bible were trying to convey to their readers) is the essential first step to building a 'more coherent philosophical framework' of Christianity.
Speaking from personal experience, I can say that acquiring such knowledge (one way being through translations such as Hart's), has been a revelation to me and is a significant reason behind a radical change in my theology.

vandieman:
along with endless assumptions
Hello Jeremy!
One of the best examples I can think of is the T-rex red blood cells and soft tissue which were discovered by Marry Schweitzer (Christian evolutionist) which had this to say:
"It was exactly like looking at a slice of modern bone, but of course I couldn't believe it. I said to the lab technician, 'The bones, after all, are 65 million years old. How could blood cells survive that long?'"
On the Website Science we read:
Others [those refusing to believe the evidence] are harsher, and suggest that Schweitzer's protein pieces come from bacteria or contaminants. "It's problematic that no other lab has been able to replicate Mary Schweitzer's work," says Jakob Vinther, a paleontologist at the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom, who's tried to do so. "The idiom that exceptional claims require exceptional evidence remains," adds Michael Buckley, a paleontologist at the University of Manchester, also in the United Kingdom.
Schweitzer, who came to the field late, and whose unusual background casts her as an outsider in a field still dominated by men, isn't cowed. She has spent decades building her case. Now, on her Hell Creek expedition, she hopes to find new, well-preserved fossils that might harbor ancient proteins—and new evidence to convince the doubters. "I don't care what they say about me," she says. "I know my work is good."
The Website Psychology Today has a brilliant article on this, titled "Why People Ignore Facts - When it comes to reasoning, identity trumps truth."
In one section we read:
A number of studies document the many ways in which our political party distorts our reasoning. One study found that people who had strong math skills were only good at solving a math problem if the solution to the problem conformed to their political beliefs. Liberals were only good at solving a math problem, for instance, if the answer to that problem showed that gun control reduced crime. Conservatives were only good at solving this problem if the solution showed that gun control increased crime. Another study found that the higher an individual's IQ, the better they are at coming up with reasons to support a position—but only a position that they agree with.
The article uses politics as its example, and I'd argue the evolution-creation debate is no different, and would produce the same results. I quiet like the end of that paragraph where it mentions people with higher IQ's weren't better at accepting new truth, especially when it went against their deep held beliefs, but rather, better "at coming up with reasons to support a position—but only a position that they agree with." lol
It's a fools errand to try and scientifically prove how life came about, if, that is, that life came about by Divine order, i.e. a miracle. I look at it like this: If we could, somehow, go back in time, and take a glass of wine that Jesus made at the wedding, 5 minutes after He made it, and then ask scientists to tell us how long ago that wine was made… that, too, would be a fools errand. If they use the current scientific method (no divine foot allowed through the door) then you can bet, the answer will not be the wine was made 5 minutes ago.

excellent point, and this highlights yet another aspect of the evolution/creation debate…that is, if our understanding of science wipes out the miracle of creation outlined in the bible, what's to stop our understanding of science from wiping out the recorded miracles of jesus, or in fact his resurrection from the dead…
to say, as this article does, that the answer is to focus on a relationship with god, while simultaneously understanding that we can't believe even one word his prophets and apostles have written, is untenable, and quite illogical…no wonder jesus used belief in the writings of moses as a prerequisite to belief in him:
"For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me. But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?" Jn 5:46-47.

Darkest Devon
Feb 10, 2007 | Crime |
"They should cut the place loose and push it out to sea, in my opinion," says thirty eight year old Tom Throbb, one of a growing number of Britons moving back to the over crowded cities from rural counties like Devon and Cornwall. "They're just a bunch of inbred degenerates down there – give me the good honest thuggery of London's inner-city estates any day! At least you know where you are with muggers, pimps and drug dealers!" Throbb, who endured nearly two years in the remote Devon village of South Thrumster before moving his family back to a damp ridden maisonette in Blackheath, claims that from the outset they were subjected to appalling bigotry. "The very day we moved into our cottage a group of naked men, their entire bodies blacked up with excrement, came charging down the main street waving spears and shouting gibberish in a grotesque parody of African natives! They were apparently in pursuit of a group of screaming village girls," explains Throbb, who later learned that this bizarre display was part of a local ceremony held every year in the village. "My wife, whose parents were originally from Ghana, was particularly offended by these obviously racist antics. She was even more outraged when the 'black' men were subsequently 'captured' in a large net by a group of young white men, thrown into the village pond and forced to scrub their shit off with brushes! Only then were they accepted back into the community!" Throbb also claims that his two young children were severely traumatised by the incident, suffering nightmares involving giant scrubbing brushes for several months afterwards. "Things just went downhill from there," laments Throbb. "My wife suffered the brunt of it – you'd think they'd never seen a real black person before! Bloody yokels were always coming up to her and rubbing her arms to see if the colour came off! I knew that they could be a bit insular down there, but that was bloody ridiculous!" Things finally came to a head when a local farmer offered to buy Throbb's wife for 'breeding stock'. "The bastard said that she'd bring some 'hybrid vigour' into the bloodline," he says. "The cheeky bugger offered me fifty quid for her!" However, the Throbbs found themselves besieged by the farmer's family and workers after refusing his offer. "It was like Straw Dogs," recalls Throbb. "We had to escape under cover of darkness, after creating a distraction by throwing them some raw meat!"
However, Eric Futtock, Chairman of South Thrumster's Parish Council, has a somewhat different recollection of the events which led to the departure of the Throbbs. "It was simply a case of a group of townies misunderstanding our local customs. The business with the 'Blackies', as we like to call them, for instance, is a ceremony which has been going on for centuries," explains the councillor who, along with his brother the vicar, his cousin the local doctor and his half brother who is Master of the local hunt, blacked up for the incident in question. "Strangers just don't appreciate that the 'Blackies' represent evil elemental spirits, which have to be driven out of the village every year. Contrary to vicious rumours put about by outsiders, it most definitely isn't the re-enactment of the unfortunate events surrounding the shipwreck of a slave ship in 1753. Everybody knows that happened down the coast in Great Thrumster. They're notoriously intolerant down there!" Futtock maintains that South Thrumster is a highly cosmopolitan area with a diverse population. "Take old Jim Minch who runs the petrol station – he's definitely got a touch of the tar brush about him, if you ask me! Then there was Bill who runs the ice cream van – his mother was from Totnes," he muses, before revealing that this diversity even extends to his own family. "My brother-in-law is from North Thrumster and we've always tried to make him welcome, despite his typically North Thrumsterian flatulence and lack of table manners." Futtock firmly believes that it was actually the Throbbs who were the intolerant party, refusing to respect local custom. "Typical townies, coming down here with their fancy lady slave and demanding things like indoor toilets – everybody knows it's unhygienic to crap indoors," he recalls. "Then they accused the local school of fostering racist attitudes because it was still using those 'Little Black Sambo' books to teach reading – these bloody London big shots just don't realise how much it costs to buy new books!" The Throbbs also took exception to the local custom of baiting the local physically and mentally disabled every Saturday afternoon. "Really! The spazs all enjoyed it – it was the most attention they got all week," Futtock declares, angrily. "Besides, it was all quite harmless – there were strict limits on the size of stones that could be thrown at them."
Despite these protestations, Futtock does concede that, in the past, the village has had a poor record when it comes to race relations. "Well, there's no denying that incident back in 1946, when they converted the old village hall into a cinema. The first film they showed was Song of Freedom, as soon as Paul Robeson appeared on screen, women ran screaming from the building, convinced that he was going to leap out and rape them! A full blown riot erupted and the whole building was burned down," he explains. "Of course, something similar happened in 1972, when we finally got TV reception here and the first set was installed in the lounge bar of the local pub. When the landlord tuned it in, the first thing people saw was the Black and White Minstrel Show. Everyone went berserk and smashed up the TV! It was another three years before anybody would have one in their house for fear that it would bring singing and dancing cannibals into their home!" Nonetheless, Futtock is at great pains to emphasise that these events are firmly in the village's past. "Nowadays we're sophisticated enough to know that you only have to turn it off or change channels when the likes of Lenny Henry appear," he says. "Besides, we're not the worst offenders here in Devon – they're far worse in Cornwall. In 1927 they burned the first Chinaman they ever saw at the stake! To this day there are no Chinese takeaways or restaurants in the whole county!" Despite the supposed improvements in race relations, Devon's image has been further tarnished by recent press images of villagers pillaging cargo washed ashore from a wrecked cargo ship. "They're not just thieving bastards, they're wreckers too," rages the exiled Throbb, who claims that he saw villagers lighting fires on the cliff tops the night the freighter ran aground in order to lure it into dangerous waters. "It isn't just ships either – the bastards park fake kebab vans in lay-bys to lure in trucks taking supplies to supermarkets in Exeter and Yeovil! The inbred cretins strip them clean before setting the empty trucks alight and drunkenly dancing around them! Jesus! Give me Brixton any day!"

Real estate owners and developers that issue financial statements will be affected by the Financial Accounting Standards Board's (FASB) Statement No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. The Statement addresses the accounting for the impairment of long-lived assets, including land, buildings, equipment, and identifiable intangibles, including patents, trademarks, and goodwill. The new rules specify when assets should be reviewed for impairment, how to determine if an asset is impaired, how to measure an impairment loss, and what disclosures are necessary in the financial statements. The Statement also prescribes the accounting for long-lived assets and identifiable intangibles that a company plans to dispose of.
* Recognizing an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount of the assets over their fair values.
* A history of operating or cash flow losses or a projection or forecast that demonstrates continuing losses associated with an income-producing asset. For real estate companies, the expiration of material leases would be such an indicator.
Assuming an indicator has been identified, assets would be measured at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets. If the estimated undiscounted cash flows, before any interest charges, expected to the generated from operations and disposal, are less than the carrying amount of the assets, an impairment exists and an impairment loss must be calculated and recognized.
Statement 121 does not provide guidance for estimating cash flows. Accordingly, estimating future undiscounted cash flows will require a great deal of judgment and will be very subjective. Companies must make their best estimate based upon reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections, including the estimated holding period which is impacted by the asset's economic life and managements intent and ability to hold the asset.
An impairment loss pertaining to assets that are being used in operations is to be recognized based on the excess of the carrying amount of the assets over the fair value of the assets. The Board concluded that the best measure of fair value is the quoted market price for the assets in an active market. However, the Board acknowledged that active markets for many long-lived assets often do not exist. Therefore, if a quoted market price is not available, management's best estimate of the fair value of the assets. based on the best information available under the circumstances, should be used in valuing the assets. Accordingly, in most circumstances, companies will have to rely on appraisals or estimates of discounted future cash flows to determine fair values for these assets.
Once an asset is determined to be impaired and the asset is written down to fair value, the reduced carrying amount represents the new cost basis of the asset. In this regard, subsequent depreciation of the asset is based on the revised carrying amount and companies are prohibited from reversing the impairment loss should facts and circumstances change in the future.
An impairment loss pertaining to assets that are being used in operations is to be reported as a component of income from continuing operations before taxes. The amount may be reported as a separate line item in the income statement, parenthetically as part of an aggregate amount on the income statement, or in an appropriate aggregation on the income statement supplemented by disclosure in the notes to the financial statements of the amount of impairment loss and the income statement caption in which the loss is included.
* For public companies, the business segment(s) affected.
Statement 121 requires that assets held for disposal be valued at the lower of cost or fair value less cost to sell, except for assets included as part of a discontinued operation as defined by APB Opinion No. 30.
This change from net realizable value to fair value less cost to sell will have the greatest impact on the valuation of assets that are to be disposed of over a period that exceeds one year because the Statement requires that subsequent revisions in the estimate of fair value less the cost to sell be reported as an adjustment to the carrying amount of the assets to be disposed of. In this regard, impairment losses may be recovered if the fair value of the assets increase over time; however, the increased carrying amount cannot exceed the carrying amount of the asset before the decision was made to dispose of the asset. Gains and losses from initial and subsequent adjustments, if any, should be presented in the income statement in a manner consistent with the reporting of impairment losses from assets to be held and used. Depreciation should not be recorded during the period the asset is being held for disposal.
* For public companies, the business segment(s) in which assets to be disposed of are held.
* The results of operations for these assets to the extent that those results are included in the entity's results of operations for the period and can be identified.
Statement 121 amends the impairment provisions of FASB Statement No. 67, Accounting for Costs and Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Projects. Statement 67 required that the carrying amount of a real estate project held for development and sale not exceed its net realizable value. Statement 121 eliminates this provision and provides two separate criteria for evaluating the impairment of real estate projects depending upon whether they are held for development or in the process of development or whether they are completed and ready for sale.
First, the Statement requires that real estate projects held for development and sale be evaluated for impairment in accordance with the recognition and measurement provisions governing assets to be held and used. Therefore, property held for development and property currently under development but not yet completed would only be evaluated for impairment if impairment indicators were present and would be written down to fair value only if the estimated undiscounted cash flows from the project did not exceed the recorded cost of the project.
Second, the Statement requires that real estate projects that are completed and ready for their intended use be accounted for in accordance with the provisions governing assets to be disposed of. Therefore, once a project is completed and ready for rental or sale it must be reported at the lower of cost or fair value less cost to sell.
The Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995, with earlier application encouraged. Restatement of previously issued financial statements is not permitted. The Statement requires that impairment losses recorded on assets to be held and used resulting from the initial application of the Statement be reported prospectively in the period in which the recognition criteria are first met. However, impairment losses recorded on assets to be disposed of resulting from initial application of the Statement are to be reported as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in accordance with APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes.

That's a lot of fabric! PM receives 33,000 metres to give to villagers
Government, People, Solomon Islands, Top Headlines
Ambassador Luo showing the Prime Minister the fabric
Rural communities in the country will now have the opportunity to make their own clothes, free of charge, after the Embassy of the Republic of China (Taiwan), donated more than 33,000 yards of fabric.
Worth around $SBD625,000, the Taiwanese handed the gift to the Prime Minister, Hon. Manasseh Sogavare, in a ceremony held at the Solomon Islands Ports Authority headquarters in Honiara yesterday.
The donation came from the 'Simply Help' foundation, a Taiwanese-American Charity based in Los Angeles, United States.
Speaking during the ceremony, ambassador Luo said the donation was a sign that Taiwan was not only giving financial support, but also materials to help communities support themselves.
"I believe that the fabrics will be smartly distributed by the Prime Minister and his office," he said. "This is not the last donation made by the foundation, there is still more coming."
Mr Luo also said the donation was a sign of solidarity between the two countries both at the local and international stage.
He also said Taiwan would continue to provide much needed assistance to the country's government and people in the years to come.
In receiving the donation, Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare thanked the ambassador, stating the donation was part of the ongoing strong bilateral relation the two countries share.
"This is assistance that will help people relate to their resources in the rural areas," he said. "Your assistance reaches down to the village people, people shed tears when they receive houses, this is something that most rural people will not get their entire life."
The Prime Minister also assured the ROC Ambassador that Solomon Islands would continue to stand and recognise Taiwan at the international stage.
SIBC understands the materials handed over to the prime minister will be distributed by the government to rural communities in the coming months.

È conosciuto come il pittore inglese di Granada, città spagnola in cui passò molti anni della sua vita e trovò ispirazione per le sue opere di maggiore successo.

Bibliografia

Giovinezza

George Owen Wynne Apperley nacque nel giugno del 1884 a Ventnor sull'isola di Wight in Inghilterra.

Sin dall'infanzia Apperley mostrò interesse per la pittura, il disegno, la letteratura classica e la mitologia greca. Tuttavia, apparteneva a una famiglia aristocratica gallese estremamente contraria a questi interessi; per dissuaderlo, la famiglia lo mandò in scuole molto rigide a formazione vittoriana.

Nonostante ciò, data la sua persistenza nelle convinzioni artistiche, nel 1903 riuscì ad iscriversi alla Herkomer Academy, dove prese parte a movimenti pittorici anti-accademici. Qui nacque il suo atteggiamento critico nei confronti dell'arte classica, concentrata sulla chiesa e religione.

Nel 1904 assieme al maestro, il maggiore Wilkinson, e finanziato dalla benestante zia, Apperley intraprese un viaggio per tutta Italia. Entrò in contatto con la luce del Mediterraneo. L'artista creò opere ad acquarello di stampe veneziane e rovine di edifici classici. Visita Roma, Firenze e Napoli dove si appassionò all'antico mondo mediterraneo e all'estetica preraffaellita.

Nel 1904, ad appena vent'anni, uno dei suoi dipinti fu ammesso all'esposizione annuale della Royal Academy of Arts, istituzione artistica londinese.

L'amore per i paesi caldi

La prima moglie del pittore fu Hilda Pope, di Watford. I genitori della moglie non videro di buon occhio la relazione con l'artista dal futuro incerto.

I due ignorarono i pregiudizi della famiglia e si sposarono in segreto, passando la luna di miele in Svizzera e presentando il fatto compiuto alla famiglia.

Tuttavia, la moglie non condivise la passione dell'artista per i paesaggi del Sud e, nonostante lo avesse accompagnato durante i suoi viaggi in Spagna, quando Apperley decise di trasferirsi per vivere in luoghi con condizioni climatiche migliori, non volle accompagnarlo e rimase in Inghilterra con i due figli, Edward e Phyllis.

Il primo incontro con Granada

Nel 1914 il pittore iniziò a viaggiare attraverso diverse parti della penisola spagnola. Il viaggio cambiò radicalmente la sua vita e anche il suo pensiero artistico.

Nella pittura abbandonò gradualmente il palcoscenico paesaggistico per interessarsi alla ritrattistica, soprattutto quella femminile.

Incontrò attraverso i suoi viaggi diverse città e visse nella capitale per qualche tempo.

Si stabilì, infine, nella città di Granada nel 1916, luogo in cui incontrò Enriqueta Contrades Carrero, che diventò la sua compagna fedele.

Durante il loro primo incontro la giovane aveva solo 14 anni, ma George fu assolutamente affascinato dal volto e dal carattere della donna che diventò ispirazione nei migliori dipinti dell'artista.

Da questa unione nacquero i figli George Jr e Enrique.

Nel 1917 vinse il primo premio ad un concorso cittadino con la sua opera La rosa ed entrò in concorrenza con pittori della statura di Ismael della Serna o Morcillo.

Da quel momento il pittore integrò la città in tutte le sue opere, icona fra tutte la sua donna di Granada, Enriquetta Contreras, immortalata in una miriade di opere.

In alcune delle tele di ritratti femminili il suo canone arrivò ad assomigliare all'estetica sobria ed elegante del pittore Julio Romero de Torres.

Difesa di Albayzín

Il pittore fu estremamente attaccato e attento all'aspetto classico della città di Granada, la quale venne ritratta nei suoi innumerevoli lavori artistici.

Il senso estetico del pittore lo portò a difesa del paesaggio e dei valori monumentali della città, che nel corso del tempo vide sempre più in cambiamento lamentandosi molto spesso nei suoi scritti.

Mandò lettere ai giornali richiamando l'attenzione sul deterioramento che colpì l'Albayzín, gli angoli malfamati della città usati come orinatoi e discariche. Il problema principalmente a cuore dell'artista fu la decisione del comune di sostituire l'illuminazione della città da gas a elettrica, causando un cambiamento dell'atmosfera della città romantica ritratta nelle tele. Tale fu la sua insistenza che il sindaco lasciò i vecchi lampioni.

George Apperley detto pittore inglese di Granada

L'artista amò estremamente la città di Granada, come si dimostrò con il suo appoggio verso la monarchia di Alfonso XIII.

Ma essendo sostenitore della monarchia e lui stesso rigido conservatore, il suo atteggiamento cominciò ad infastidire alcuni settori della città, che con l'avvento della seconda repubblica divennero ancora più visibili.

Fu mal visto da tutti i cittadini perché uno straniero inglese che finse di essere spagnolo, riposandosi con chiunque fosse un suo modello per le opere d'arte, come la ragazza indigena di 14 anni, Enriqueta Contreras.

L'ostilità verso il suo radicalismo conservatore culminò nel porre una bomba che strappò la porta di casa e questo fu troppo per Apperey, continuamente minacciato. Ciò costrinse il pittore ad andarsene dalla sua amatissima città, alla ricerca di una nuova casa e lavoro.

Il passaggio alla città di Tangeri

Nel 1933 Apperley e famiglia si trasferirono nella città di Tangeri, visitata in precedenza dall'artista, città che diede buone offerte di lavoro al pittore che costruì una nuova casa con un grande laboratorio di pittura nella parte alta della città.

Dopo la guerra civile stabilì la sua residenza a Tangeri e riprese i tentativi di riavvicinamento con Granada, tornò ogni anno nel paese che sentiva il proprio, per proteggere l'aspetto e l'integrità della città.

Molte stampe locali intorno agli anni quaranta e cinquanta raccolsero le proteste solitarie e arrabbiate dell'artista che vide la propria città essere sempre casa di persone noncuranti.

Nella città africana di Tangeri tornò a vivere la passione e il coinvolgimento nella difesa dei valori artistici e paesaggistici, di cui assistette l'imponente distruzione a Granada. Durante quel periodo coltivò incessantemente il ritratto, ad olio o acquerello, con grande delicatezza e buon gusto. Non smise mai di tornare a Granada per riavvicinarsi ai suoi amici, come l'avvocato Manuel Pérez Serrabona, e soprattutto per essere spagnolo al cento per cento.

Nel 1945 ricevette l'encomienda di Alfonso X.

Morì il 10 settembre 1960 a Tangeri di un'emorragia cerebrale e fu sepolto nel cimitero britannico di Saint Andrews, dopo aver ricevuto i più alti onori e riconoscimenti della società del suo tempo.

Il senso artistico del pittore
Nonostante lo spirito ribelle che dimostrò nella giovinezza il pittore, fu un agguerrito sostenitore degli stili d'avanguardia come quelli che chiamò ''Ismi', definiti tali in un senso personale ed ironico dell'artista.

Nel corso della vita conobbe pittori di Granada come Soria Aedo, Rodrìguez Acosta, Lopez Mezèquita e Morcillo.

L'artista sperimentò con gli interni alla ricerca di nuovi metodi per trasmettere l'atmosfera delle stanze.

Gli spazi architettonici sono evidenti nelle opere dei chiostri monastici o nei cortili interni all'Alhambra.

Per quanto riguarda la scelta dei personaggi furono forme di donne zingare, figure molto femminili, proprio quelle che diedero maggior fascino ai suoi dipinti.

Rimase attento ai dettagli; nelle sue opere i vestiti, i luoghi e le posizioni sono autentiche e molto studiate in precedenza dal pittore.

Le sue nature morte sono un esempio della sua meticolosità di trasmettere la realtà attraverso la pittura.

Nella serie dei vasi i fiori sono all'interno di ceramiche di Fajalauza o di vasi della tradizione Nasride.

L'artista lascia sullo sfondo oggetti ritratti perfettamente a fuoco, dipingendo molti dettagli.

Condivise le sue passeggiate a Granada dipingendo la sua Albaycìn e cercò sempre nuovi giochi di luce e ombra.

La sua Settimana santa della Carrera del Darro è simile a Il caffè di notte di Van Gogh. La chiesa di San Bartolomè, alla pittura religiosa del barocco spagnolo, con un suggestivo realismo che sprona l'occhio a entrare nella piccola porta di legno sulla cappella dipinta.

Dipinse la luce delle albe rosse e il sole bianco nella Calle Elvila, riprese Granada come nessun altro pittore.

La sua Carmen in Albayzín, e il suo studio di pittura servirono da punto d'incontro per i più importanti intellettuali del momento.

Ci sono numerosissime testimonianze del lavoro di George Apperley nella cittadina di Granada.

Grazie allo sforzo personale del pittore ci fu mantenimento del paesaggio storico e tipico di questi luoghi da lui immensamente amati.

Harry Potter faithful play a round of Quidditch ahead of last movie's premiere
By LORE CROGHAN
| DAILY NEWS WRITER |
Their brooms don't fly, but these New York quidditch players channeled Harry Potter in the park. (David Handschuh/News)
Hordes of wanna-be wizards swarmed on Hell's Kitchen yesterday to play the earthbound version of Harry Potter's favorite game, quidditch, in the run-up to the premiere of the franchise's final flick.
The die-hard fans of J.K. Rowling's blockbuster books and movies didn't mind that their broomsticks couldn't fly like his and instead had to be carried between their legs as they ran around DeWitt Clinton Park. They also couldn't care less that their "golden snitch" was a tennis ball in a yellow sock - not an orb with wings.
Instead these Muggles hoped the fictional sport would tide them over until they take in the series' final film, which opens at midnight at city theaters.
"The movies are going to end, but we'll still have quidditch," said Devon Bennett, 21, a SUNY Westchester student who played on Stony Brook University's team at exhibition matches that drew 200 players and spectators. "How else will we get our nerdy aggression out?"

She's attending a midnight showing of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" with a group that bought 130 advance tickets at AMC Loews Lincoln Square 13.
"I'm going to cry when characters die," said quidditch spectator Mary Jane Dumankaya, 17, an incoming New York University freshman who's dressing up as Severus Snape to see the film. "But I'm going to cry the most when the credits roll.
