Podcasts about VCC

We zijn er weer! Tijdje stil geweest maar we zijn weer achter de microfoon gekropen. We blikken terug op de wedstrijden van de Nederlandse heren en dames eerder dit jaar, de Champion's Trophy en de avonturen van VCC tijdens de ECL in Malaga. We bellen met Pieter Paul Visser en we hebben een speler van de week.

In December 2024, VCC hosted 25 Indigenous Elders, Knowledge Keepers, and community members for a pipe ceremony to honour their work, strengthen connections, and discuss Indigenous perspectives on building a future where there is enough for all.  Aligning with Indigenous teachings of oral storytelling traditions, this reflection captures the conversations, wisdom, and experiences shared during the gathering. Rather than a conventional summary, this blog follows the flow of dialogue and storytelling, allowing the voices of those present to guide the narrative. The audio recording by Elder Wanda First Rider offers an opportunity to hear these reflections in their intended form; spoken, shared, and lived.

While Large Language Models (LLMs) are the dominant models for generative tasks in language, they do not perform as well as diffusion models on image and video generation. To effectively use LLMs for visual generation, one crucial component is the visual tokenizer that maps pixel-space inputs to discrete tokens appropriate for LLM learning. In this paper, we introduce MAGVIT-v2, a video tokenizer designed to generate concise and expressive tokens for both videos and images using a common token vocabulary. Equipped with this new tokenizer, we show that LLMs outperform diffusion models on standard image and video generation benchmarks including ImageNet and Kinetics. In addition, we demonstrate that our tokenizer surpasses the previously top-performing video tokenizer on two more tasks: (1) video compression comparable to the next-generation video codec (VCC) according to human evaluations, and (2) learning effective representations for action recognition tasks. 2023: Lijun Yu, José Lezama, N.

Rural internet providers are working diligently to install that last mile of broadband, says Garin Mayer, CEO and general manager of Vernon Communications Cooperative.  He defines the last mile as bringing fiber right to your doorstep. In the past six years, VCC has gotten nearly $14 million in grants to bring fiber to about 4,000 rural locations. The projects totaled nearly $23 million. But Mayer says without the support from state and federal broadband grants, rural projects are hard to justify. He also breaks down the timeline from when the grant check is cut to when your home has high-speed internet.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

ATMakers emailed and asked if we'd make a Trinkey (https://www.adafruit.com/search?q=trinkey) with a TRRS jack (https://www.adafruit.com/product/5764) on the end, for making customizable HID devices that use simple 3.5mm audio jack connectors. ideally something that will make AT - Accessibility Technology - projects EZ to build and maintain. here's our take on it, what's interesting is each pin of the jack - including the two switches for tip and ring1 - connect to GPIO / analog inputs on the SAMD21. there's no pre-defined VCC or GND because different switch and joystick makers have different configurations and we might want to change around what pins are power, ground, pullups, etc! this board will be great for use with CircuitPython to make any sort of AT switch or potentiometer interface super fast, to demo it we've written up a quick CPy sketch that will listen for two switches, and when they're pressed, blink the NeoPixel and emit keypresses as if its a keyboard. code is in the PR for this board (https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython/pull/9190#issuecomment-2067764251) since we have great HID support it could also be a mouse or joystick device and it will work with any computer/tablet/console with a USB port.

In this inspiring video, join Eze Akinyemi on his remarkable journey of self-discovery and cultural connection. Eze, also known as the Visceral Connections Coach (VCC), is a passionate advocate for reconnecting African descendants to the culture embedded in their DNA. His nearly decade-long endeavor culminated in the creation of his heartfelt book, "Found My People." As Eze embarked on his first trip to Africa in 2013, visiting Nigeria and finally stepping foot on the hallowed Badagry beach, he experienced a truly visceral moment. Tears streaming down his face, he realized that he and his daughter were the first members of their family to return to African soil after being forcefully uprooted from the continent centuries ago. It was a profound revelation that ignited his mission to embrace his heritage. During his journey, Eze encountered native Nigerian Igbo and Yoruba people who recognized elements of their own culture within him. Through a DNA test, it was confirmed that Eze is a descendant of both the Igbo and Yoruba people, two of Nigeria's largest ethnic groups. Additionally, his mother's side revealed his connection to the Fante people of Ghana. To honor his heritage, Eze legally changed his name to reflect his rich ancestry. Beyond his passion for cultural reconnection, Eze is also dedicated to helping individuals and small businesses thrive. As a VCC and owner of a small to medium enterprise (SME), he brings his exceptional training skills to guide and inspire others. Eze's leadership abilities were recognized during his tenure as Chapter Chair for SCORE, a business counseling service under the US Small Business Administration. Through his innovative thinking and management style, he garnered national attention and achieved the esteemed status of "Chapter Chair Emeritus." Eze also served as a Small Business Development Center Board Advisor, further exemplifying his commitment to fostering entrepreneurial success. Join Eze Akinyemi on his transformative journey of discovering his roots, reconnecting with his heritage, and empowering others through cultural exploration. Prepare to be inspired and moved by his powerful story and unwavering dedication. Found My People | Find Your Tribe #ConnectingTheDisconnected #EzeAkinyemi #JourneyOfEze #Inspiration #Motivation #Innovation #ChangeMaker #Activist #SocialImpact #Empowerment #Leadership #GrowthMindset #Success #Entrepreneurship #CommunityBuilding #Technology #GlobalChange #MakingADifference #BreakBarriers #HumanRights

This week's EYE ON NPI is a compact and capable analog-to-digital converter, it's the Microchip MCP3421 18-bit, 240 SPS, single-channel ADC (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/m/microchip-technology/mcp3421-analog-to-digital-converter). This SOT-23-6 part is simple, inexpensive, and easy to use with an I2C interface that can run up to a 3.4MHz clock rate. Being able to power it from 2.7V to 5V makes it an easy-to-integrate component whenever you need an ADC that has differential inputs, adjustable gain, and a built in precision/low-drift reference voltage. One of the trade-offs with getting 18-bit precision is that the ADC is not going to be very fast: you can configure the chip to do a faster 12-bit conversion at 240 SPS, but at 18-bits, it slows down to 3.5 SPS. That's because the way a sigma-delta ADC (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta-sigma_modulation) works, it 'guesses' the analog voltage and uses a comparator to determine whether the input is higher or lower. Each 'guess' takes an extra step, and thus halves the throughput, so 12-bit is 240 SPS, and 14-bit is 1/4 (2-bit) slower, 60 SPS. Ditto 16-bit is 1/4 slower, 15 SPS, and finally 18-bit is 3.75 SPS. However, sigma-delta ADCs are inexpensive, so as long as you don't need high speeds there's no reason to spec a faster and more expensive part! The MCP3421 is already set up for differential inputs, which means that you can read positive or negative differences between the two inputs, as long as both signals are between 0 and 2.048V. This means it's not going to be great for reading stuff like potentiometers, where you have a single-end reading referenced to ground, and you want to read the full range from 0 to Vcc. It is great, however, for reading sensors like strain gauges, pressure sensors, or thermocouples. The I2C interface for the MCP3421 is simple and well documented: there's a command byte that can be written directly to set continuous or one-shot, gain from 1x to 8x and the ADC bit depth. Then, the current data can be read directly, with the status/'command' byte following. Since the ADC is differential, note that the data will come out as binary 1's complement for easy casting to a signed 16 or 24 bit variable. Since there's no address selection pin, you can determine which I2C the device responds to by purchasing a part code variant. For example, A0 is address 0x68, A1 is 0x69, etc. We used ChatGPT to quickly put together an Arduino-compatible library (https://chat.openai.com/share/76252459-50e5-4cd2-8edf-08bf3cc1c438) in about an hour and it pretty much worked right out of the box minus a few typos. The final, tested library code is available here (https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_MCP3421). We also spun up a quick prototype PCB for the MCP3421 (https://twitter.com/adafruit/status/1650909789591945248) and it works very nicely, with a terminal block for the differential input, and Stemma QT ports to quickly plug into a variety of dev boards. If you're on the look-out for a well-designed high precision ADC to integrate into your next design, the Microchip MCP3421 18-bit, 240 SPS, single-channel ADC (https://www.digikey.com/short/5htnqnw8) is an easy win. And, best of all, it's in stock right now for immediate shipment from Digikey. Order an MCP3421 today (https://www.digikey.com/short/5htnqnw8) and you'll be convertin' by tomorrow afternoon!

Singer and retired vocal teacher Mary Heston Dahl of White Bear Lake has a special place in her heart for the St. Croix Valley Chamber Chorale. She sang with them for about eight years, but this year she's looking forward to hearing the performance from the audience. Now in its 49th season, the VCC is the longest-running amateur choir in the Twin Cities, and in that time it's only had two artistic directors. The chorale includes some 40-50 singers across a range of ages.  This weekend is “Christmas with the Valley Chamber Chorale,” with four performances Fri., Dec. 8 through Sun., Dec. 10. Dahl says the audience can look forward to some familiar carols, beautifully arranged and sung, as well as an opportunity to sing along with a few of them. Performances are Fri. Dec. 8 – Sun. Dec. 10 at the St. Croix Prep Performing Arts Center at St. Croix Prep Upper School. This is a change from the chorale's typical venue, the historic Washington County Courthouse, which is under renovation. 'Audience members are seated at tables, so buying tickets in advance is best to ensure your party can sit together. Classical music lover Pauline Marlinski of Gaylord plans to be in St. Peter tonight for a performance by the Gaylord-based ensemble La Grande Bande. Now celebrating its fifth season, La Grande Bande specializes in music written from 1600-1800 (Early Music and Baroque). Their instruments, including harpsichord and viola da gamba, are original to the period. Marlinski appreciates the group's focus on education as they perform in schools and communities across southern Minnesota.  This weekend's French Baroque Christmas will include eight singers and six musicians, with artistic director Michael Thomas Asmus on organ. The performance will include a selection of works written for Christmas by French composer Marc-Antoine Charpentier (1643-1704). Marlinski is looking forward to singing along (in English) to some traditional French carols as part of the performance.  Performances are Thursday, Dec. 7 at 7:30 at First Lutheran Church in St Peter. Sunday, Dec. 9 at 7:30 at Church of the Assumption in St. Paul. Each performance includes a short pre-concert talk at 6:45 to guide the audience through the music and composers. Not all annual holiday shows are serene and thoughtful. If Klingon battles are more your style, then actor and physical comedian Gregory Parks of Minneapolis recommends that you check out “It's an Honorable Life” at Historic Mounds Theatre in St. Paul. In this telling, Bailey is a Klingon warrior who has a high standing in the empire because of his bravery and his feats in battle. He fears that because he is so skilled, he will never meet a glorious death in battle, which is a great problem for a Klingon. Enter the mysterious Q, who guides Bailey through many possible scenarios of his life. (Parks originated the character of Bailey but for the past three years has enjoyed the show from the audience seat.) Written by local Star Trek fans, with a local make-up artist ensuring that each actor has a proper Klingon forehead, this play is filled with references familiar and obscure. The show is not endorsed or affiliated with any Star Trek enterprise. “It's An Honorable Life” runs Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30, and some Sundays at 2:30 through Dec. 23. Trekkie uniforms of all empires are encouraged but not required. Masks are requested when not eating or drinking. 

As election season heats up, the Virginia Catholic Conference is reminding the commonwealth's Catholics that they have an obligation to participate in political life. “We have an obligation to help shape the moral character of society for the common good,” said Jeff Caruso, executive director of the VCC, the legislative advocacy arm of both Virginia bishops — Arlington Bishop Michael F. Burbidge and Richmond Bishop Barry C. Knestout.

In this Episode of TishTalk, I interview Ted Kuntz, President of Vaccine Choice Canada (www.vaccinechoicecanada.ca), Author, retired psychotherapist and father of a fatally vaccine injured son. In our conversation, we covered the lies used by Big Pharma like "safe and effective" to market untested and unsafe products. We discuss the removal of informed consent, the use of shaming techniques like "anti-vaxxer" to stop open dialogue and slander critical thinkers and the importance of people waking up to natural immunity, integrated and holistic health and taking personal responsibility for their own health decisions starting with the food they eat and the toxins they are exposed to daily. Ted ends on an hopeful note about the future as we discuss a better path forward and some of his current education initiatives at VCC for parents and children.

I'm Teresa Johnson from Krum, Tx. At the age of 50, I took my first ever girls trip in 2019 and needed a safe way to carry and travel with my inherited turquoise jewelry. Starting with a vintage train case, I added some western flair, revamping it into a travel jewelry case. Several ladies on the trip asked me to revamp their grandmas‘ train case with my unique vintage western style. VCC was born.I've been a nurse 33 years and with the Covid pandemic in 2020 I began travel nursing and recognized a need for travel accessories, especially for my cherished squash blossom necklace. Sitting in an airport I designed a squash blossom case to secure and protect my necklace, eventually filing for a patent. I have continued to design and develop western style jewelry cases, travel accessories, and luggage and am so thrilled to now devote my full time to my business with hopes to get my cases into boutiques/stores nationwide.

It's been a busy week here at Ardenfell HQ, so we are playing a re-rerun this week. (Hey, if those greedy striking writers at the WGA can do it, so can we.) New episodes should be back next week! In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this re-airing of a very special LIVE episode we did back in January. Speaking of LIVE shows, we hope to do more! There's a festival in late August we're shooting for -- more details on that soon. Be well! ******************************************** It's a very special LIVE episode of The Corporation, recorded in front of a small but mighty audience at Vermont Comedy Club! Dean is joined first by Teddy Burnbridge, who reflects on teaching schoolchildren about our great meritocracy by performing his autobiographical play for them. Then, Annette Gelby talks about what it takes to turn shuttered women's health clinics into businesses that are a little more, shall we say, “baby-positive.”   ABOUT THE PERFORMERS Jared Hall (Teddy Burnbridge) is a standup comedian, improviser and writer based in Burlington, VT. He was the 2022 winner of the Vermont's Funniest Comedian contest, and produces the regular shows “Weird & Niche” at Vermont Comedy Club and “Free Stuff” at Lincoln's. Natalie Miller (Annette Gelby) is an improviser, teacher and the co-owner of Vermont Comedy Club. She performs monthly on the team “Kingdom Kids” at VCC and at festivals and theaters throughout the country. Nathan Hartswick (Dean Ardenfell) is a comedy performer, teacher, and the co-owner of Vermont Comedy Club in Burlington, VT.   ABOUT THE PODCAST The Corporation is a podcast hosted by Dean Ardenfell (Nathan Hartswick), a superfan of the global corporation “Hogswood Cooper Media.” Each episode, Dean interviews folks who work for the many different subsidiaries of Hogswood Cooper.* * This podcast is improvised satire, “Hogswood Cooper Media” is fictitious, and the "employees" are comedians.

Brett is a Long Beach State alum, and spent 12 years playing on the PGA Tour and mini tours before he found his passion in helping some of his fellow tour players with their own golf games. A phone call from his former coach and mentor, Jamie Mulligan, now a Tour Coach for Patrick Cantlay, and the Korda Sisters, asked if he wanted to come teach at Virginia Country Club. That phone call created a smooth transition from playing to teaching in which he's now made a name for himself, with his player, Lilia Vu, coming from behind to capture her first LPGA Tour Major at the Chevron Championship last week.Hear stories from Brett, advice to players and instructors, coaching tour players, and just some great conversations with Brett on episode 27 of the Coach Mo Golf Show.@leftysgolftips@vcc1909Contact Coach Mo@coachmogolfprowww.coachmogolfpro.commgesualdi@stjohnsgolf.comThe Golf Academy at St. Johns Located at St. Johns Golf & CC in St. Augustine/St. Johns, FL@thegolfacademy_st.johnswww.stjohnsgolf.com

It's a very special LIVE episode of The Corporation, recorded in front of a small but mighty audience at Vermont Comedy Club! Dean is joined first by Teddy Burnbridge, who reflects on teaching schoolchildren about our great meritocracy by performing his autobiographical play for them. Then, Annette Gelby talks about what it takes to turn shuttered women's health clinics into businesses that are a little more, shall we say, “baby-positive.”   ABOUT THE PERFORMERS Jared Hall (Teddy Burnbridge) is a standup comedian, improviser and writer based in Burlington, VT. He was the 2022 winner of the Vermont's Funniest Comedian contest, and produces the regular shows “Weird & Niche” at Vermont Comedy Club and “Free Stuff” at Lincoln's. Natalie Miller (Annette Gelby) is an improviser, teacher and the co-owner of Vermont Comedy Club. She performs monthly on the team “Kingdom Kids” at VCC and at festivals and theaters throughout the country. Nathan Hartswick (Dean Ardenfell) is a comedy performer, teacher, and the co-owner of Vermont Comedy Club in Burlington, VT.   ABOUT THE PODCAST The Corporation is a podcast hosted by Dean Ardenfell (Nathan Hartswick), a superfan of the global corporation “Hogswood Cooper Media.” Each episode, Dean interviews folks who work for the many different subsidiaries of Hogswood Cooper.* * This podcast is improvised satire, “Hogswood Cooper Media” is fictitious, and the employees are comedians.

In episode 250 of the podcast Heath Hardesty speaks with Mike Neglia about mirth, cultural engagement and the artistry of preaching. Heath Hardesty was born and raised in Boulder County, Colorado, and now lives in Livermore. Before pastoring, h worked as a plumber's apprentice (which might explain something of his focus on us being apprentices of Jesus). He and his wife moved to the Tri-valley in October of 2009 to join the pastoral team of VCC, and he became the lead pastor in 2015. Heath and his wife Marla have three kids: a 9-year-old boy, a 6-year-old girl, and a 4-year-old girl. Heath is a self-professed book nerd, so talk of Tolkien, Lewis, Dostoevsky, Eliot, O'Connor, Peterson and others are likely to happen at some point! In his opinion, theology should have some poetry to it.

This week's EYE ON NPI is a throwback to the 8-bit era, with a new spin on the classic AVR microcontrollers we've loved for decades: it's Microchip's AVR® DD Family of Microcontrollers (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/m/microchip-technology/avr-dd-family-of-microcontrollers), a powerful update to the powerful and low-power AVR RISC core that came from Atmel. While many folks may be moving to Cortex M0 or RISC-V chipsets to get 32-bit performance, there's still a lot of demand and use for 8-bit microcontrollers. Cost, simplicity, reliability, code-size, and power usage can all be better on 8-bit. If you're only on a 32-bit micro because of peripherals that tend to come with the fancier chips, you might be surprised by what the AVR DD family has to offer. For example, these chips have external interrupts on (just about all) the GPIO pins. There's four 16-bit timers plus one 12-bit (that's *five* total timers!), SPI & I2C, two UARTs, a 10-bit DAC, and 12-bit input ADC that's muxed to almost every pin. In particular, the high-bit ADC and DAC are a little unusual to see in an 8-bit platform. (https://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/aemDocuments/documents/MCU08/ProductDocuments/DataSheets/AVR32-16DD20-14-Prel-DataSheet-DS40002413.pdf) There's also some funky MCP-specific peripherals that can help reduce BOM cost. For example, CCL/LUT is a peripheral that allows you to make custom logic-lookup-tables for making simple - but very very fast - multi-input logic gates that can use interrupts or peripherals as input. (http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/AppNotes/TB3218-Getting-Started-with-CCL-90003218A.pdf) For example, you can make a SR latch, logic gate, or Manchester encoder - you can think of it as like a 'micro' PIO or CPLD. MVIO is a new capability that we haven't seen before, where an IO port can run at a different logic level - either higher or lower than the VCC power. This allows easy bi-directional interfacing of SPI/I2C/GPIO to 3V logic from 5V, or vice versa, without the use of level shifting! (http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/Appnotes/GettingStarted-MVIO-AVRDB-DS90003287A.pdf) Perfect if you want to run this main core at 5V for speed and signal strength, but have some 3V sensors to interface to, or run the core at 1.8V for power and IO but have a 3.4V LED you want to light up. Clock rate is up to 24 MHz, can be powered from 1.8 to 5.5V - it's exceedingly rare to find 5V ARM chips - and have FLASH, SRAM, EEPROM and NVM. EEPROM in particular is not common on ARM chips, and some don't even have built in Flash. So think of this as a compact li'l chip with pretty much everything you need to get a product out the door, with a range of memory sizes and physical packages from QFN to DIP! (http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/AVR-DD-Product-Brief-DS40002215A.pdf) It's nice to see Microchip is still innovating the AVR line, to make better 8-bit micros that power the electronics around us. For programming, of course you can use MPLAB IDE but we like Arduino compatibility and SpenceKonde's DxCore (https://github.com/SpenceKonde/DxCore) looks like it's adding or added AVR DD support, so you can quickly get going with compiling code and using the basic peripherals in just a few minutes! Best of all, the AVR DD family of parts (https://www.digikey.com/short/m4qb8wf8) are totally in stock at Digi-Key right now for immediate shipment. There's SOIC, SSOP and QFN packages with up to 64KB flash / 8 KB RAM, all for about $1.50 in individuals, $1 in qty. If you're looking for an alternative to the ATmega328, this is a nice step up. We recommend getting started with the AVR DD Curiosity Nano board which is breadboard compatible and has everything needed to get started. (https://www.digikey.com/short/10n70tmc) Order today and you can be MVIOing towards your next AVR 8-bit based product by tomorrow afternoon!

https://www.digikey.com/short/cp05vd44 Many devices and sensors like it if you give them a fancy reset pulse after power has come up, particularly displays and OLEDs! But sometime for wiring simplicity we would like to skip using a microcontroller pin, and have the breakout board autoreset on power loss. In such cases we use a 'power on reset' chip such as the APX803-26SAG https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/diodes-incorporated/APX803-26SAG-7/2285963 . It's worked great but....it's now discontinued! Lets find a drop-in replacement. We will need a SOT-23-3 with pin 1 ground, pin 2 open-drain reset and pin 3 VCC. The reset pulse should be about 100ms, VCC should be able to be 3 to 5V, and the reset level about 2.7V, and hold down the reset line for at least 10ms. The challenge is there's a lot of options, but they're not all function/pin compatible!

It wasn't necessarily the pandemic that powered Visit Champaign County to rethink its role in the community...but it gave them time to work through powerful goals in their Strategic Plan. On this edition of DMOU, CEO Jayne DeLuce shares the thinking behind VCC's new Community Benefit Funding Model, the upcoming launch of a sustainable African-American Heritage Trail and the triumphant return of the State Boys Basketball Tournament this month.

This week on the Cannabis Equipment News podcast, Kenny Morrison, founder of VCC Brands, discusses how he was pulled out of a basement grow and into the nascent California cannabis industry, where he helped lead one of the first five dispensaries in Los Angeles County.Kenny Morrison is a risk-taker. In 2006, he was working with friends growing cannabis in a basement when he decided to try his hand in the upstart California retail market. Morrison landed a partnership helping the Farmacy in West Hollywood expand after hitting it off with the owner. It wasn't an easy ride; the store was raided during his first year. He learned many things at the Farmacy, but perhaps the most important was that he wasn't cut out for retail. So in 2008, he founded Venice Cookie Company, driven to create tasty, safe and wellness-oriented products.When Morrison first jumped into product manufacturing, he enlisted a cousin who was a pastry chef. He asked her to manufacture his first three products — all cookies — in her kitchen. Manufacturing products at that time was challenging; for example, cannabis product testing wasn't yet a reality, so Morrison couldn't guarantee the products' potency within a 10% variance (he says between 20%-25% was more doable). Inaccurate dosing wasn't a big problem in those days. Morrison recalls thinking that you could put cannabis in pretty much anything and it would sell. Most of his products ranged between 60 mg and 180 mg of THC. Once, in 2010, he tried a 6 mg product, and it was laughed off the shelf. It was a little ahead of its time. As Venice Cookie Company evolved, Morrison branched into new product categories, including tea (Subtle Tea), chocolate (4.20 Bar), tinctures (ONE tincture) and beverages (Cannabis Quencher (CQ)). The company became much more than cookies, so Morrison rebranded as VCC Brands. For a time, VCC operated a kitchen to manufacture its products. It ran from 4 p.m. through the night in an effort to work while the health department was closed. Eventually, Morrison sold the facility and pivoted to third-party manufacturers. Although his co-packing partners sometimes struggle to get the product right, things are looking up.Morrison says he is all-in on the beverage market. With CQ as a company cornerstone, VCC has continued to expand and license products into other markets, including a low-dose beverage soon to debut in Massachusetts.Morrison is a man of many passions. He's a surfer, jiu-jitsu practitioner, and he's held jobs as an actor, documentarian and music video director. While he may not have been cut out for retail, his brands are poised to leave a lasting legacy in the cannabis industry.

Keuriseumaseu: Syllable structure in Korean Word and meaning: 크리스마스 Keuriseumaseu means Christmas Origin: It comes from the English word Christmas Cultural Contexts: Dating etc. (see the Hanmadi post on Christmas at https://hanmadikorean.com/christmas/) Linguistic element: Syllable structure of Korean (Young-Mee Yu Cho) General syllable structure: Aslam, M., & Kak, A. (2007). English Syllable Structure. In Introduction to English Phonetics and Phonology (pp. 60-68). Foundation Books. doi:10.1017/UPO9788175968653.005 “Every language manifests a particular way of combining its sounds to form meaningful words or parts of words, called syllables. Each language puts certain restrictions on these possible combinations. For example, in English we can't have a word which begins with a consonant sequence bfj, zbf or tzp. When we analyse what restrictions (and regularities) are found in the language under study, we are studying the syllable structure of that language. We can divide words into one or more syllables. For example, tin has one syllable, brother has two, important has three and computer has four syllables each. A syllable is a group of one or more sounds. The essential part of a syllable is a vowel sound (V) which may be preceded and/or followed by a consonant (C) or a cluster of consonants (CC or CCC) (see below). Some syllables consist of just one vowel sound (V) as in I and eye/aI/, owe/ə/. In English, a syllable can consist of a vowel preceded by one consonant (CV) as in pie/paI/, or by two consonants (CCV) as in try/traI/, or by three consonants (CCCV) as in spry/spraI/. The vowel of the syllable may also be followed by one consonant (VC) as in at/æt/, or by two consonants (VCC) as in its/Its/, or by three consonants (CVCCC) as in text/tekst/or by four consonants (CVCCCC) as in texts/teksts/.” Maximal syllable shape is the syllable type that contains the most possible segments in onset and coda positions, for instance CCCVCCCC in an English word like strengths (https://digitalrepository.unm.edu/el_centro_research/5/ (https://digitalrepository.unm.edu/el_centro_research/5/))  Spanish: CCVC Japanese: CV Hawaiian: CV Really different from English. CGVC (onset consonant glide vowel coda consonant) Note how the syllabic structure is actually embedded in the writing system. 값, 삶, 없[다]: alone, only one consonant surfaces, but in certain environments, the other does as well. And additionally, some sounds can't come at the beginning or end of a syllable. E.g., “sh” ; “ng” (as in English). And some diphthongs don't work in Korean as single syllables. E.g., “I” Christmas: How many syllables? In English, 2. In Korean, 5. Other examples: 프렌드 friend - clusters not allowed 콩글리쉬 Konglish arbeit ice cream Sandwich Wine — Sources: Young-Mee Yu Cho.
