TIME OFF IN THE NATURE

[vc_row][vc_column width=“1/1″][ish_blog_media tooltip_color=“color1″][vc_column_text]Yosemite is one of the largest and least fragmented habitat blocks in the Sierra Nevada, and the park supports a diversity of plants and animals. The park has an elevation range from 2,127 to 13,114 feet (648 to 3,997 m) and contains five major vegetation zones: chaparral/oak woodland, lower montane forest, upper montane forest, subalpine zone, and alpine. Of California’s 7,000 plant species, about 50% occur in the Sierra Nevada and more than 20% within Yosemite. There is suitable habitat or documentation for more than 160 rare plants in the park, with rare local geologic formations and unique soils characterizing the restricted ranges many of these plants occupy.[/vc_column_text][ish_headline tag_size=“h2″ color=“color8″ icon_align=“left“ tag=“h“ tooltip_color=“color1″]Yosemite Directions[/ish_headline][ish_map zoom=“10″ tooltip_color=“color1″][ish_location lat_lng=“37.745203, -119.598221″ title=“Location Title“ color=“color8″ text_color=“color4″ headline=“Yosemite“ tooltip_color=“color1″]Yosemite National Park[/ish_location][/ish_map][vc_column_text]The geology of the Yosemite area is characterized by granitic rocks and remnants of older rock. About 10 million years ago, the Sierra Nevada was uplifted and then tilted to form its relatively gentle western slopes and the more dramatic eastern slopes. The uplift increased the steepness of stream and river beds, resulting in formation of deep, narrow canyons. About 1 million years ago, snow and ice accumulated, forming glaciers at the higher alpine meadows that moved down the river valleys. Ice thickness in Yosemite Valley may have reached 4,000 feet (1,200 m) during the early glacial episode. The downslope movement of the ice masses cut and sculpted the U-shaped valley that attracts so many visitors to its scenic vistas today.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]This video is a collaboration between Sheldon Neill and Colin Delehanty.

B. Lewis was appointed as the park’s superintendent. Parsons Memorial Lodge and Tioga Pass Road, along with campgrounds at Tenaya and Merced lakes, were completed the same year; six hundred automobiles entered the east side of the park using Tioga Road that summer. The „All-Weather Highway“ (now State Route 140) opened in 1926, ensuring year-long visitation and delivery of supplies under normal conditions. Completion of the 0.8-mile (1.3 km)-long Wawona Tunnel in 1933 significantly reduced travel time to Yosemite Valley from Wawona. The famous Tunnel View is on the valley side of the tunnel and Old Inspiration Point is above it. A flood, reduced lumber and mining extraction, and greatly increased automobile and bus use forced the Yosemite Valley Railway out of business in 1945. The present day Tioga Road, now part of California State Route 120, was dedicated in 1961.[/vc_column_text][ish_skills color=“color13″ skill_color=“color8″ text_color=“color4″ tooltip_color=“color1″][ish_skill percent=“75″ tooltip_color=“color1″]Camping[/ish_skill][ish_skill percent=“95″ tooltip_color=“color1″]Climbing[/ish_skill][ish_skill percent=“55″ tooltip_color=“color1″]Family Trips[/ish_skill][ish_skill percent=“85″ tooltip_color=“color1″]Hiking[/ish_skill][/ish_skills][vc_column_text]Interpretive programs and services for national parks were pioneered in Yosemite by Harold C. Bryant and Loye Holmes Miller in 1920. Ansel F. Hall became the first park naturalist in 1921 and served in that role for two years. Hall’s idea to have park museums act as public contact centers for interpretive programs became a model followed by other national parks in the United States and internationally. Yosemite Museum, the first permanent museum in the National Park System, was completed in 1926.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The Ahwahnee Hotel, in Yosemite Valley, is a National Historic Landmark. Built in 1927, it is a luxury hotel designed by the architect Gilbert Stanley Underwood, decorated in Native American motifs. For many years it hosted an annual pageant produced by Ansel Adams. During World War II it was used as a rehabilitation hospital for soldiers.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=“1/2″][ish_embed tooltip_color=“color1″]http://vimeo.com/92688138[/ish_embed][/vc_column][vc_column width=“1/2″][ish_embed tooltip_color=“color1″]http://vimeo.com/40319099[/ish_embed][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=“1/1″][vc_column_text]This whole project has been an amazing experience.

MUSIC AND PRODUCTIVITY

Source: AudioJungle.net[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The creation, performance, significance, and even the definition of music vary according to culture and social context. Music ranges from strictly organized compositions (and their recreation in performance), through improvisational music to aleatoric forms. Music can be divided into genres and subgenres, although the dividing lines and relationships between music genres are often subtle, sometimes open to personal interpretation, and occasionally controversial. Within the arts, music may be classified as a performing art, a fine art, and auditory art. It may also be divided among art music and folk music. There is also a strong connection between music and mathematics. Music may be played and heard live, may be part of a dramatic work or film, or may be recorded.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=“1/1″][ish_headline tag_size=“h3″ icon_align=“left“ tag=“h“ tooltip_color=“color1″ color=“color7″]Hip the PLAY button[/ish_headline][ish_blog_media tooltip_color=“color1″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=“2/3″][vc_column_text]Live my life is a corporate audio track perfectly suitable for promotional video of businesses, companies and organisations..

Ancient Greek and Indian philosophers defined music as tones ordered horizontally as melodies and vertically as harmonies. Common sayings such as „the harmony of the spheres“ and „it is music to my ears“ point to the notion that music is often ordered and pleasant to listen to. However, 20th-century composer John Cage thought that any sound can be music, saying, for example, „There is no noise, only sound.“ Musicologist Jean-Jacques Nattiez summarizes the relativist, post-modern viewpoint.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=“1/3″][ish_button el_text=“Purchase Track“ size=“big“ align=“center“ color=“color8″ text_color=“color3″ icon=“ish-icon-ok“ icon_align=“left“ tooltip_color=“color1″ full_width=“yes“ url=“url:http%3A%2F%2Faudiojungle.net%2Fitem%2Flive-my-life%2F224500%3Fref%3DIshYoBoy||target:%20_blank“][ish_button el_text=“About Author“ size=“big“ align=“center“ color=“color13″ text_color=“color1″ icon_align=“left“ tooltip_color=“color1″ full_width=“yes“ url=“url:http%3A%2F%2Faudiojungle.net%2Fuser%2Fmetrolightmusic%3Fref%3DIshYoBoy||target:%20_blank“][ish_button el_text=“More Tracks“ size=“big“ align=“center“ color=“color13″ text_color=“color1″ icon_align=“left“ tooltip_color=“color1″ full_width=“yes“ url=“url:http%3A%2F%2Faudiojungle.net%2F%3Fref%3DIshYoBoy||target:%20_blank“][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=“1/1″][/vc_column][/vc_row]

BE PRODUCTIVE, WORK REMOTELY

Economic well-being is created in a production process, meaning all economic activities that aim directly or indirectly to satisfy human needs. The degree to which the needs are satisfied is often accepted as a measure of economic well-being.

The satisfaction of needs originates from the use of the commodities which are produced. The need satisfaction increases when the quality-price-ratio of the commodities improves and more satisfaction is achieved at less cost. Improving the quality-price-ratio of commodities is to a producer an essential way to enhance the production performance but this kind of gains distributed to customers cannot be measured with production data.

Economic well-being also increases due to the growth of incomes that are gained from the growing and more efficient production. The most important forms of production are market production, public production and production in households. In order to understand the origin of the economic well-being we must understand these three processes. All of them have production functions of their own which interact with each other. Market production is the prime source of economic well-being.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=“1/1″][vc_column_text]Productivity is created in the real process, productivity gains are distributed in the income distribution process and these two processes constitute the production process. The production process and its sub-processes, the real process and income distribution process occur simultaneously, and only the production process is identifiable and measurable by the traditional accounting practices. The real process and income distribution process can be identified and measured by extra calculation, and this is why they need to be analysed separately in order to understand the logic of production performance.

Real process generates the production output from input, and it can be described by means of the production function. It refers to a series of events in production in which production inputs of different quality and quantity are combined into products of different quality and quantity. Products can be physical goods, immaterial services and most often combinations of both. The characteristics created into the product by the producer imply surplus value to the consumer, and on the basis of the price this value is shared by the consumer and the producer in the marketplace. This is the mechanism through which surplus value originates to the consumer and the producer likewise. It is worth noting that surplus values to customers cannot be measured from any production data. Instead the surplus value to a producer can be measured. It can be expressed both in terms of nominal and real values. The real surplus value to the producer is an outcome of the real process, real income, and measured proportionally it means productivity. Follow the 3 easy steps:[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=“1/1″][vc_column_text]The production process consists of the real process and the income distribution process. A result and a criterion of success of the owner is profitability. The profitability of production is the share of the real process result the owner has been able to keep to himself in the income distribution process. Factors describing the production process are the components of profitability, i.e., returns and costs. They differ from the factors of the real process in that the components of profitability are given at nominal prices whereas in the real process the factors are at periodically fixed prices.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row tooltip_color=“color1″][vc_column width=“1/1″][ish_headline tag_size=“h3″ icon_align=“left“ tag=“h“ tooltip_color=“color1″ color=“color10″]TEDx Talk about productivity![/ish_headline][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=“1/2″][ish_embed tooltip_color=“color1″]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHxhjDPKfbY[/ish_embed][/vc_column][vc_column width=“1/2″][vc_column_text]About TEDx:

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized

Monetary process refers to events related to financing the business. Market value process refers to a series of events in which investors determine the market value of the company in the investment markets.

Income distribution process of the production refers to a series of events in which the unit prices of constant-quality products and inputs alter causing a change in income distribution among those participating in the exchange. The magnitude of the change in income distribution is directly proportionate to the change in prices of the output and inputs and to their quantities. Productivity gains are distributed, for example, to customers as lower product sales prices or to staff as higher income pay.

Davis has deliberated the phenomenon of productivity, measurement of productivity, distribution of productivity gains, and how to measure such gains. He refers to an article suggesting that the measurement of productivity shall be developed so that it ”will indicate increases or decreases in the productivity of the company and also the distribution of the ’fruits of production’ among all parties at interest”. According to Davis, the price system is a mechanism through which productivity gains are distributed, and besides the business enterprise, receiving parties may consist of its customers, staff and the suppliers of production inputs. In this article, the concept of ”distribution of the fruits of production” by Davis is simply referred to as production income distribution or shorter still as distribution.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
