	Gambler's ruin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The basic meaning of gambler's ruin is a gambler's loss of the last of his bank of gambling money and consequent inability to continue gambling.
		More generally however the phrase refers to the ever decreasing expected value of a gambler's bank as he continues to gamble with his winnings.
		However, this does not imply positive expected value for the richer player since, for each complete game (many flips) that the richer player loses, he will forfeit more pennies than his poorer playmate.

		I believe the original maker of the piece would want it to look as he intended it to look, and protected the way he intended it to be protected, and the finish should be replaced.

	Giving Credits Where Credits Are Due
		Virginia’s easement laws allowing donors to take tax credits of up to 50 percent of the value of the land, or sell those credits as they wish, is often cited as a pioneering national model.
		A typical easement, he notes, reduces the value of a tract of land by about 20 to 30 percent and the state tax credit allows for the transfer or sale of only half that reduction in value.
		In order for the tax credits to take effect, the land in question must have some demonstrable value that must be protected, such as protection of watersheds, farm soils, vistas, endangered plants or animals, or property with an historical value such as a Civil War battlefield.

		Ruin value is the concept that a building be designed such that if it eventually collapsed, it would leave behind aesthetically pleasing ruins that would last far longer without any maintenance at all.
		Such ruins were to be a symbol of the greatness of the Third Reich, just as Greek and Roman ruins were symbolic of those civilizations.

	Nazi architecture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Central to this was Albert Speer's Theory of Ruin Value, in which the Nazis would build structures which even in a state of decay, after hundreds or thousands of years would more or less resemble Roman models.
		Speer intended to produce this result by avoiding the elements of modern construction as steel girders and reinforced concrete, which are subject to weathering and by designing his buildings to withstand the impact of the wind even if the roofs and ceilings were so neglected that they no longer braced the walls.
		The theory of ruin value could be seen as a backward looking concept; however, what it actually does is look at the type of buildings that survive from the past and why they survived and attempts to build into the new buildings of the Reich such principle.
