It is interesting that Value City is still left intact on this sign. It appears that "Value City" is being used for the furniture store that still exists in this shopping center. It appears that this may have been a Schottenstein (once parent company of Value City) developed shopping center.

Some of my old medals I got while living in Europe with Father and his wife. The medals are for participating in VolksMarches that benefit the European Red Cross which is a 5K / 10K march/hike. The hikes were usually in the beautiful Bavarian Mountains and Alps. The title of this photo "values instilled.." reflects the value traits father instilled within me at a young age; to get involved in events that benefit our community. Must have worked, I still do community events to this day, that are similar, as in my 5K / 10K Benefit Runs that support several charities. My Father and his Wife would do the hikes with me, or my Nanny with wonderful lasting memories.

A bouquet of roses is an example color, it's more of red, pink, and purple color.
The mixed orange and blue sky is a good example of value because of how it makes the tree a shadow, and the way it makes us feel in awestruck.
The metal shows a rough, bumpy texture.
The biggest opportunities don't announce themselves with trumpets and bright lights. They hide quietly, waiting for those who have the vision to see them and the commitment to follow them.
Life's most valuable opportunities are completely invisible to people who seek instant gratification. Those opportunities wait patiently for someone who is persistent enough and motivated enough to give them the time and devotion they deserve.
A person who has no concern or respect for others has no way of connecting to the most worthwhile opportunities. For the most grand and valuable opportunities are, at their heart, opportunities to serve and to create value for others. It cannot be seen by the person who demands a sure thing, or who expects to reap large reward with little effort. Because the best opportunities derive their value from the risk and effort necessary to bring them to fruition.
Just like that, most beautiful heights are often overlooked because they first appear much smaller than most people expect. Yet these are easily spotted by those who understand that seeing the peak is just the beginning.
These beautiful heights are hidden in the smallest of moments. See them, understand them, and they can lift you to incredible heights.

The area that was to become West Palm Beach was settled in the late 1870s and 1880s by a few hundred settlers who called the vicinity "Lake Worth Country." These settlers were a diverse community from different parts of the United States and the world. They included founding families such at the Potters and the Lainharts, who would go on to become leading members of the business community in the fledgling city. The first white settlers in Palm Beach County lived around Lake Worth, then an enclosed freshwater lake, named for Colonel William Jenkins Worth, who had fought in the Second Seminole War in Florida in 1842. Most settlers engaged in the growing of tropical fruits and vegetables for shipment the north via Lake Worth and the Indian River. By 1890, the U.S. Census counted over 200 people settled along Lake Worth in the vicinity of what would become West Palm Beach. The area at this time also boasted a hotel, the "Cocoanut House", a church, and a post office. The city was platted by Henry Flagler as a community to house the servants working in the two grand hotels on the neighboring island of Palm Beach, across Lake Worth in 1893, coinciding with the arrival of the Florida East Coast railroad. Flagler paid two area settlers, Captain Porter and Louie Hillhouse, a combined sum of $45,000 for the original town site, stretching from Clear Lake to Lake Worth.
On November 5, 1894, 78 people met at the "Calaboose" (the first jail and police station located at Clematis St. and Poinsettia, now Dixie Hwy.) and passed the motion to incorporate the Town of West Palm Beach in what was then Dade County (now Miami-Dade County). This made West Palm Beach the first incorporated municipality in Dade County and in South Florida. The town council quickly addressed the building codes and the tents and shanties were replaced by brick, brick veneer, and stone buildings. The city grew steadily during the 1890s and the first two decades of the 20th century, most residents were engaged in the tourist industry and related services or winter vegetable market and tropical fruit trade. In 1909, Palm Beach County was formed by the Florida State Legislature and West Palm Beach became the county seat. In 1916, a new neo-classical courthouse was opened, which has been painstakingly restored back to its original condition, and is now used as the local history museum.
The city grew rapidly in the 1920s as part of the Florida land boom. The population of West Palm Beach quadrupled from 1920 to 1927, and all kinds of businesses and public services grew along with it. Many of the city's landmark structures and preserved neighborhoods were constructed during this period. Originally, Flagler intended for his Florida East Coast Railway to have its terminus in West Palm, but after the area experienced a deep freeze, he chose to extend the railroad to Miami instead.
The land boom was already faltering when city was devastated by the 1928 Okeechobee hurricane. The Depression years of the 1930s were a quiet time for the area, which saw slight population growth and property values lower than during the 1920s. The city only recovered with the onset of World War II, which saw the construction of Palm Beach Air Force Base, which brought thousands of military personnel to the city. The base was vital to the allied war effort, as it provided an excellent training facility and had unparalleled access to North Africa for a North American city. Also during World War II, German U-Boats sank dozens of merchant ships and oil tankers just off the coast of West Palm Beach. Nearby Palm Beach was under black out conditions to minimize night visibility to German U-boats.
The 1950s saw another boom in population, partly due to the return of many soldiers and airmen who had served in the vicinity during the war. Also, the advent of air conditioning encouraged growth, as year-round living in a tropical climate became more acceptable to northerners. West Palm Beach became the one of the nation's fastest growing metropolitan areas during the 1950s; the city's borders spread west of Military Trail and south to Lake Clarke Shores. However, many of the city's residents still lived within a narrow six-block wide strip from the south to north end. The neighborhoods were strictly segregated between White and African-American populations, a legacy that the city still struggles with today. The primary shopping district remained downtown, centered around Clematis Street.
In the 1960s, Palm Beach County's first enclosed shopping mall, the Palm Beach Mall, and an indoor arena were completed. These projects led to a brief revival for the city, but in the 1970s and 1980s crime continued to be a serious issue and suburban sprawl continued to drain resources and business away from the old downtown area. By the early 1990s there were very high vacancy rates downtown, and serious levels of urban blight.
Since the 1990s, developments such as CityPlace and the preservation and renovation of 1920s architecture in the nightlife hub of Clematis Street have seen a downtown resurgence in the entertainment and shopping district. The city has also placed emphasis on neighborhood development and revitalization, in historic districts such as Northwood, Flamingo Park, and El Cid. Some neighborhoods still struggle with blight and crime, as well as lowered property values caused by the Great Recession, which hit the region particularly hard. Since the recovery, multiple new developments have been completed. The Palm Beach Mall, located at the Interstate 95/Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard interchange became abandoned as downtown revitalized - the very mall that initiated the original abandonment of the downtown. The mall was then redeveloped into the Palm Beach Fashion Outlets in February 2014. A station for All Aboard Florida, a high speed passenger rail service serving Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, and Orlando, is under construction as of July 2015.

The sea otter (Enhydra lutris) is a marine mammal native to the coasts of the northern and eastern North Pacific Ocean. Adult sea otters typically weigh between 14 and 45 kg (31 and 99 lb), making them the heaviest members of the weasel family, but among the smallest marine mammals. Unlike most marine mammals, the sea otter's primary form of insulation is an exceptionally thick coat of fur, the densest in the animal kingdom. Although it can walk on land, the sea otter lives mostly in the ocean.
The sea otter inhabits offshore environments, where it dives to the sea floor to forage. It preys mostly on marine invertebrates such as sea urchins, various molluscs and crustaceans, and some species of fish. Its foraging and eating habits are noteworthy in several respects. First, its use of rocks to dislodge prey and to open shells makes it one of the few mammal species to use tools. In most of its range, it is a keystone species, controlling sea urchin populations which would otherwise inflict extensive damage to kelp forest ecosystems. Its diet includes prey species that are also valued by humans as food, leading to conflicts between sea otters and fisheries.
Sea otters, whose numbers were once estimated at 150,000–300,000, were hunted extensively for their fur between 1741 and 1911, and the world population fell to 1,000–2,000 individuals living in a fraction of their historic range. A subsequent international ban on hunting, conservation efforts, and reintroduction programs into previously populated areas have contributed to numbers rebounding, and the species now occupies about two-thirds of its former range. The recovery of the sea otter is considered an important success in marine conservation, although populations in the Aleutian Islands and California have recently declined or have plateaued at depressed levels. For these reasons, the sea otter remains classified as an endangered species.

A Dog's Poem
Here in this house...
I will never know the loneliness I hear in the barks
of the other dog's out there.
I can sleep soundly, assured that when I wake my
world will not have changed.
I will never know the hunger, or fear of not knowing if
I'll eat again.
I will not shiver in the cold, or grow weary from the
heat.
I will feel the sun's heat, and the rain's coolness,
and be allowed to smell all that can reach my nose.
My fur will shine, and never be dirty or matted again.
Here in this house...
There will be an effort to communicate with me on
my level.
I will be talked to and, and even if I don't understand,
I can enjoy the warmth of words.
I will be given a name so that I may know who I am
among many.
My name will be used with joy, and I will love the
sound of it!
Here in this house....
I will never be a substitute for anything that I am not.
I will never be used to improve people's images of
themselves.
I will be loved because of who I am, not
someone's idea of who I should be.
Here in this house...
I will never suffer for someone's anger, impatience,
or stupidity.
I will be taught all the things I need to know to be loved by all.
If I do not learn my lessons well, they will look to
my teacher for blame.
Here in this house...
I can trust the arms that hold, hands that touch..
knowing that, no matter what they do, they do it
for the good of me.
If I am ill, I will be doctored.
If scared, I will be calmed.
If sad, I will be cheered.
No matter what I look like, I will be considered
beautiful and known to be of value.
I will never be cast out because I am too old, too
ill, too unruly, or not cute enough.
My life is a responsibility,
and not an afterthought.
Here in this house......
I will belong.
I will be home!

I've had these laying around for 4 years and have never really use them. What sort of value do they have now?
Adwick Park in Adwick le Street is one of the area’s most valued green spaces, offering a blend of recreation, sport, and family‑friendly facilities. Just a short walk from Adwick Interchange, the park serves as a central outdoor hub for residents and visitors alike. It features toddler and junior play areas, extensive playing fields, and a range of sports facilities, including football and cricket pitches, a basketball court, a tennis court, and a traditional bowling green. These amenities make it a lively space throughout the year, supporting both casual recreation and organised sport.
The park is also home to Adwick Park Rangers FC, a junior football club that contributes to the community spirit and provides opportunities for young players. Beyond sport, Adwick Park offers quieter pleasures: its 17.3 acres of green space, winding paths, and tree‑lined areas create a peaceful environment ideal for walking, running, or simply unwinding in nature. A particularly charming feature is the Tree Trail, which invites visitors to explore eight tracing posts designed to encourage creative engagement with the landscape.
This is a product shot with extreme micro technique. Kenco extension tube having used.
The color are all natural. It is my intension to use the old watch for this shot.
You might wonder why I put this title!!
This watch is actually over 28 years now. it was given by my late father when I returned from Swansea; Wales; UK.
I have use this all the time except few occasion I use other branded watch for the VIP function.
In the old Chinese Saying:
The $ value is not as valuable then the thoughts!!
Especially, now My Dad's is already gone, whenever I see the watch, I think about him. & I missed him. Although when I was 12, he beaten me up until I wounded, & Again in 1990 after I my successful initialization of "Creating The New Excellence Philips Corporate Culture", then Philips disbanded my division in Telecom & Data System. When I return to S.E.A.. The 2nd Brother's in the family have set things up for both parents to dis-owned me.
I experience worst family wealth; money; politics & struggle in my life. The reason for me to walk away is because I just don't want to get involve.( It is the same in my careers with those multi-natinational corp as well.) In 1990 Nov, I attended Comdex & I wrote back to both the 38 points of the family trouble & my visions of what have become for the family in future. Then my mom's burn the letter upon receiving.
Before, both passed away, they looks back & think back for what have happening & the expel of me from the family, they are very much regret, especially their near death experience whereby the Yamas' (Emperors' of Hells) told them what is truth. However, it is too late.
Well, whatever happening, I still pray for them to rebirth in the higher plane. As the Buddha said Birth is suffering, all beings are suffering except become the perfect one; the excel one; the enlighten one -- that is become the Buddha oneself.
At the month of "Ching Ming" - Month of remembrance; let's pray & transfer merits to all our 3 births parents' ( That is Past Present & Future!!)
Satu; Satu; Satu...
Peace; Peace; Peace.....................
