Hello people! I'm Ginny Metherill and I am a false early generation which in today's video we're going to be looking at Mabon. Mabon is the equinoctal festival that is part of the Wheel of the Year and I want to look at the traditions behind it and the meanings through it and how you might celebrate it. I was talking with a friend of mine the other day and I mentioned Mabon coming up and they were like, what's Mabon? And it suddenly occurred to me that of course if you don't live this life you don't necessarily know and Mabon is one of the lesser known festivals. The main Mabon actually comes from an ancient Welsh deity and this name is quite a modern interpretation and it was ascribed to the festival in the 50s. However it is a much older festival because we've been celebrating the harvest ever since we started harvesting. Mabon falls upon the equinox on the 23rd of September at 749 a.m. which means that is when the Sun is directly above the Earth's equator. This gives us an equal time of night and day and it's not quite equal but for all intents and purposes we're going to say it is and therefore the world is in a time of balance. It is from this point that the Sun now steps a little further south and continues on this path all the way up to the winter solstice around the 21st of December. We are saying effectively good by summer and looking towards the dark and half of the year but before we embrace all that is the darkness and winter we can have a little respite and gratitude and that is what Mabon is. It is a harvest festival looking at the abundance that the Earth has provided for us in order to get through those winter months and that is why we celebrate it. The Anglo-Saxons knew the month of September as Holy Monoth meaning the holy month or month of offerings really is what they were about but could this is the time when we offer up our thanks to the deities of this world and express our gratitude to them. I mean this is now carried on isn't it and to the Christian faith where they have the decoration of the altar and I can't imagine anything more pagan than doing that and putting marrows and tomatoes and a tin of beans around your altar to say thanks that is such a pagan tradition it makes me smile to see it in the Christian faith. I mean really you cannot fail but walk through the earth at this time and see the abundance that is so obvious of the proud oaks dropping their acorns the straight pines releasing their cones. It is a verdant and magical time of the year there is a fair amount of symbolism that runs through the Mabon scenery and one of my favourites is that of the cornucopia the horn of plenty which is literally a horn that spills plentiful goods. Now the tradition states that should you own a horn of plenty you will never want for any food or clothes or needs because it will provide all of those for you. Owning a horn of plenty will provide you with great good fortune and I'm really pleased because I have just bought my own cornucopia I think they called it a Viking drinking vessel but traditionally a cornucopia is simply a horn. Cornucopias provide all the greatest things that you need and want should you be in need of cash simply leave coins in your cornucopia the cornucopia calls all the things that you need to you simply place the object that you desire inside the cornucopia and ask it to provide and it will. Well that's the theory behind it whether it works or not I'll let you know but I am very pleased with mine. The cornucopia itself has a long and illustrious history it was held in high regard by not only the Celtic nations but by the ancient Greeks and also the New World. California when it was advertising for settlers to come called itself the cornucopia world. I love my cornucopia so I'm hoping that it's going to give me great wealth and great benefits for the rest of the year. I'm not very good at money spells myself it's not something that I can really get on board with only because the energy that you need to call that money to you tends to be very low level energy and low level energy brings low level responses such as your car breaking down or bad luck happening to you so therefore I don't tend to do money spells myself however this is an easy one because the cornucopia will absorb all the bad luck that might come behind that money. September's moon also reflects this time of year because it's often known as a song moon or the wine moon this of course is the time that wine is made and we sing as a result and they're probably not very well after all the wine but yeah there should be a lot of singing. Now the equinox this year falls on the 23rd and this is the same day that the sun moves into the star sign Virgo so it's very very auspicious for Virgoans everywhere this is your six months. Virgos are known for being almost relentlessly loyal they're deeply loving they have a very very high moral code and this equinox hopefully will bring balance back to them because they can be extremely harsh on themselves if you're a Virgo then this next six months this time is for you just remember to not be harsh on yourself and repeat that as needed. So the ancient pagan way to celebrate Mabon would simply be to have a feast it is a time of celebration and the best way to celebrate is to gather with your friends and family and eat and drink and be merry and finally this is a slightly more saucy time of year the harvest is a great time for abundance and it's also a great time to worship deities and the Celts used to do this through a lot of sex magic which is slightly not spoken about anymore is it but sex magic at this time of year will be very wonderful and so why not have a go the the one thing but the thing is about sex magic is no one really wants to learn about sex magic from an old witch up to myself we need the younger generation to come forward and teach this kind of stuff to us all and you and your partner can have good fun at this time and bond yourself closer together because after all is that not the point of sex magic or to have a baby but should you not care to celebrate Mabon in such an intimate way here are some ideas for you the first one is one of the oldest traditions and that is to set out an altar tradition stated that you should always put the best of each crop that you grow to place upon your altar and this is a marvellous way just to think about the abundance and gratitude that we have for this world at the moment other ways are to plant your autumn seeds and bulbs so it is the time to get planting you can do this as simply as planting some herb seeds to put on your windowsill or should you feel like it you can always take some acorns and go out into the woods and have a little you know have a little plant then you can come back in the spring and you know did a bit of a growth magic on them works wonders planting does then connect us deeply with this earth and it is what the earth wants the earth is here to grow things and most seeds need to be cold and dark in the winter in order to germinate in the spring essentially Mabon is though of time for feasting and so what better way than to sit down with your friends and have some seasonal recipes apples are always great at this time of year ours are anything to do with pumpkins and squash should you wish for that pumpkin pie early I'm not a great fan of pumpkin pie myself I found it jaw achingly sweet and it's slightly me however I do love butternut squash chips those are delicious go to patreon.com forward slash a journey meadow to check out my coven meeting this month we're doing clamor magic and I'm going to show everybody how they will appear so much more beautiful with the use of it and I'm going to prove it during the sessions as well a great subject come and join me at patreon.com forward slash Ginny mother all because there is something there for everyone otherwise please don't forget to like and subscribe because that is how I managed to keep going if patreon is not for you I would love it if you could just share my videos with everybody else and so therefore I will get more subscribers and I'll be able to keep making these videos because it is a bit touch-and-go at times whether I can carry on and in the meantime I hope you have a wonderful Mabon let me know in the comments how you're going to celebrate it and what your traditions are because I love hearing what you get up to and I will see you in a very short time


Welcome to our channel so today in this video we will be sharing this Siemens Java interview questions for experience and this video is shared by one of our subscriber friend. So if you are looking out for the questions that are being asked at Siemens then this video will definitely help you out and we are also like the subscriber friend as well so share the answer as well so it will definitely benefit you. So firstly let us see the mail that we have received from Shubham so Siemens Java interview questions high team this is Shubham one of your subscribers you are doing great job so I have also wanted to contribute. Interview with Siemens experience is for four two technical rounds and one one manager round happened attachment contains the interview question and answers asked in the first round of the interview very soon we will be sending the second round and manager round interview questions as well please upload this it took a lot of time to time to type the questions and type the question and answer note the first round coding questions were very simple so didn't shake please hide my idea so this was the mail so so before getting into the questions part let us talk about two problems that lot of our subscriber friends face one how to get interview calls as a fresher and two stuck with small companies and coming to the space freshers the jobs are very hard to come by because of covid currently and secondly many times candidate miss out a job opportunity because they don't have a better degree or had a poor network so these are the two reasons that freshers are not getting jobs these days and second one stuck small companies so here we found a solution for these two problems and that solution is one platform called ReLevel let's quickly visit that platform and see what it is offering for us so this is the platform guys ReLevel so ReLevel is India's first hiring torment platform it is really helpful for freshers and early stage career individuals as it has more than 500 plus positions plus 50 plus companies already associated with it currently and believe me this number is going to shoot up very soon here even as a fresher and even being from a very small college you can get a package of two 15 plus slacks per annum it just completely pure your based on your pure talent and skills which will be considered here and if you can scroll down and see or you can have the list of company names that are already associated with this platform so you can see RazorPay, Urban Company, Upgrad, Web Engage, a lot of things 5% and a lot many links a lot many other companies are there so how to apply so here you can see there are three popular tournaments that is business development front-end development back-end development so according to your will according to your choice you can register in any one of the tournament and you can apply our coupon code which is there in the description to get 10% extra discount here and very important thing here is the registration closes on 22nd June 2021 and the tournament begins on 26th June 2021 and few important things that I would like to share here the tournament is not related to like restricted to BE, BTEC or MBA anyone can register and participate in the tournament and the investment that is 1799 after coupon is applied will be the best investment of your life there are three tournaments as you can see and in each tournament there will be two rounds one will be prelims and other is mains and upon clearing the mains you will be getting a mentoring session this is this is very important that you will be getting a mentoring sessions from the re-level team to help you with clearing the company interviews so what are you waiting for register participate in the tournament and get the offer so this to come into the first question how locking mechanism is implemented by JVM so the answer is this answer was shared by our subscriber friend itself the implementation of locking mechanism in Java specific to the instruction set of Java platform for example with Java with x86 it might use the CMP XCHG automatic compare and exchange at the lowest levels to implement the first part of the lock the CMP XCHG instruction is compare and swap instruction that guarantees atomic memory access to the hardware level if the thread cannot acquire the lock immediately then it could spin lock or it could perform is is called to schedule a different thread different strategies are used depending upon the platform JVM switches so this was about the first question coming to the second which event bus is used by saga pattern when we use event-based communication a microservice publishes an event when something notable happens such as when it updates a business entity or anything other microservices subscribe to those events when a microservices when when a microservice receives an event it can update its own business entity which might lead to more events being published this published subscribe system is usually performed by using an implementation of event bus the event bus is designed as an interface with the API needed to subscribe and a subscribe to events to publish the event the implementation of this event bus can be a message you like rabbit mql service bus like a shoe service bus this was about the second question the event bus her question why should we use thread full executor when we have executor framework so here is the source code of executor.newfixed.threadful that is you can see the code it will return thread pull executor threads and it is using linker block queue so this method uses thread pull executor class which uses default configuration as seen in the above code now there are scenarios where default configuration is not suitable say instead of linked blocking queue a priority queue needs to be used etc there can be any scenarios in such cases caller can directly work on the underlying thread pull executor by instant stating it and passing the desired configuration to it this was about thread pull executor coming to the next question what is the difference between at the spring boot application and at the red enable auto configuration following are the differences between at the spring boot application and at the red enable auto configuration availability coming to availability spring boot application was introduced in version 1.2 while at the red enable auto configuration was introduced in 1.0 purpose enable auto configuration enables auto configuration feature of spring boot application which automatically configures things if certain classes are present in class path example it can configure like it can configure template resolver and view resolver if family is present in the class path on the other hand at the red spring boot application does three things it allows us to run the main class as a jar with the embedded container like web server web server Tomcat it enables Java configuration it enables component scanning this was the differences between spring boot application and at the red enable auto configuration what happens when we call spring boot application dot run method in main class of spring boot application so syntax of the class containing main method looks like below at the red spring boot application will be annotated the class level and in the public static void main method we just write one like written spring boot application dot run the application dot class and argument when we run this class as a Java application then our application gets started a spring boot spring application dot run is a static method and it returns an object configure a configurable application context configurable application context like it is similar to equals to spring boot spring application dot run how spring container gets started once run method gets called spring container once started is responsible for creating all the objects this is done by direct components scan remember at the red spring boot application is a combination of components can create a direct configuration but the direct enable auto configuration then dependency have dependency injection happens and manages the life cycle of all the things will happen so these are the answer that we're given by our subscriber friend itself these are not our answer one answer what is the difference between map and flat map so map transfer the transforms the element into something else it acts as a function to apply to each element and returns a new stream of values written by the past function it takes functions object function object as a parameter example function tall function tall double function too long too long function flat map combination of map and flat operation so we apply map operation on each element and then flattens the result so if function used by map is retaining a single value then map is okay but if a function used by map operation is in the stream of list or stream of stream then we go for flat the stream of value so these are the differences between map and flat map next question what is the box stream so if you want to convert stream of objects to collection I will go with list of stream how are you now taught color collectors or to the same process doesn't work on stream of primitive however like to convert the stream of primitive we must first box elements in the wrapper classes and then collect them this is type of same is called box stream example of is given here so in stream of 1 2 3 4 5 dot box dot collect to list then output will be a list of numbers to be honest even I was not aware of this what is box stream so just came to know this list spring core and stereotype annotations so spring core annotations are it that qualify it that unaware configuration components can required being lazy value and spring stereotype or component controller service and it that deposit what is the difference between controller and rest controller so that controller creates a map of model objects and finds a view for that address controller simply returns the object and object data is directly written into HTTP response as json or xml basically the rest controller equal to the controller with a direct response body that is control over as it was added in spring for next question why spring introduced at the address controller when the job could be done by using it that controller and it that response body the functioning or output of it that controller and it that response body is a default behavior of restful web services that's why spring introduced at the rest controller which combined the behavior of both at the controller and it that response body next question tell me something about swagger tools which you have used so swagger editor can edit can edit open APS specification swagger UA collection of HTML CSS JavaScript assets that dynamically generate beautiful documentation swagger code gen all those generation of AP client libraries swagger parser swagger core swagger inspector swagger hub everything has its own answer next question is what application server have you used and what are the benefits of that so I have used weblogic application server weblogic server provides various functionalities weblogic server robot support for access protocols like HTTP soap etc it also provides data access and persistence from database server it also supports SQL transaction for data integrity it also supports security so me when we use weblogic server we do know we do not have to care about protocol security protocol or security database transaction data integrity etc all these are handled by weblogic server you can focus on business logics just is there any speed increase while indexing a table and will indexing every column defeat the purpose of indexing indexing any table either memory or file system base will speed up the queries that are that select or sort result based on that column this is because the index works like a tree structure and the search distance depends upon the depth of the tree which increases a lot of which increases a lot slower than the row count of the column indexing every column doesn't defeat the purpose of indexing index but it will slow up inserts and updates because those changes will cause an update of every index of the table also the indexes takes up space on the database server so these were the questions that were shared and thank you for watching very soon we hope we'll be updating the second part of the video as well and thanks for watching if you

Hey Psych2Go family. Before we get started on today's video, we at Psych2Go want to wish everyone safety and health during the outbreak of COVID-19. Stay strong and we're here for you. Over the past few weeks, the feeling of uncertainty of the future has caused many people to feel anxious. People are worried about their health, families, their jobs, about how long they have to stay inside their houses, rent payments, etc. The cases of anxiety being reported to mental health professionals are rising day by day. So, here are six signs of coronavirus anxiety and what you can do about it. 1. Excessive worrying. Have you been feeling worried for the past few days? Are your worries not letting you sleep? During this uncertain time, our minds have the tendency of overthinking and creating situations out of the what ifs. If you feel like you can't stop worrying, then designate a time for your worries, like 15 or 20 minutes in a day. You can talk to someone about it during that time. Or maybe just write what you're feeling in your journal. Make sure to take time to unplug from your social media platforms and make sure to spend some time without constantly checking the news. 2. Hopelessness. It might feel like everything is hopeless at this time. You might feel like this whole big chaos might never end. Or maybe you were looking forward to something for a long time and it's been cancelled. Or maybe you were finally feeling better and then this pandemic happened and now you're feeling lost again. These feelings of disappointment are normal and you don't have to ignore them. What you're feeling is valid. Staying away from any kind of misinformation and checking out the positive news from around the world as well as seeing acts of kindness and compassion from people can help build hope that this too shall pass. 3. A faster heart rate. Stress may also cause your heart to beat fast. This happens because your body feels like it's in danger and to prepare you for this danger, it decrees hormones. These hormones are responsible for your heart beat rising, high blood pressure, breathlessness, etc. If you feel like this, try grounding yourself with these simple steps. First, you can do this by touching anything that you can find near you. Second, try to describe things around you that will help you feel more grounded. 4. Irritability. Have you been feeling irritated a lot in these past few days? You get easily upset or frustrated. You might feel that your emotions are all over the place and living in close proximity with your family or friends makes them an easy target for your sour, grumpy mood. This might make you feel even more guilty about your emotions. By reminding yourself that it's just a response of stress and it's valid for you to feel this way, your feeling of guilt can lessen considerably. If you're an introvert and are living with others, then there's a likelihood that your feelings of irritability could also be because of not getting enough alone time. Remember you're allowed to take space as it's an important part of your self-care. 5. Restlessness. Do you feel like you're always on edge? Are you having a difficult time staying still or relaxing? Maybe you feel like you always have to keep on checking the news all the time, so it would be better for you to take a break from the news or limit your consumption. Occupy your mind with something else like making a new recipe, painting, reading a book, watching movies, or chatting with your friends. 6. Fatigue. Feeling tired most of the time is a common symptom of anxiety. If you feel tired easily, then it would be a good idea to engage in activities that energize you. It could be anything that makes you happy and excited like dancing or maybe playing with your pet. Exercise can also help you feel active while improving your mood. Do you relate to any of these signs in this video? Let us know in the comments below. Many therapists are providing their services online nowadays. Also there are some who are sharing knowledge on how to take care of your mental health on platforms like Instagram, so try to take advantage of these services to help relieve your stress. If you're already seeing a therapist, getting in touch with them is also a good idea. Talking to someone helps in dealing with these feelings rather than bottling them up inside.


What's going on guys welcome back to channel critical below here's some time I scream six is the video here again today and This is going to be about rumored plot details and rumored things about the cast and why we haven't gotten any Announcements as it pertains to scream six So I guess if you do not want any potential spoilers, you can click off of the video but Going into where this is coming from this is coming from a clips underscore comprehend over on reddit and This is the same individual Who? From what I can recall. I don't know if this is where everyone else got got it from they were the ones talking about How Neve had already signed on I'm looking at one of their very first post They talked about how the plot takes place in one town and a bigger city And then they were saying that this would be the first place Of course that would have two locations and a ghost face killing one and another ghost face killing in the other And then he's they also stated that the character names would be Rory Leslie Christina and now of course Christina is presumably the mother of Sam and Tara Leslie is assuming assuming that's Leslie Mocker They had also stated at that time that this is a post from a month ago They had stated that the film itself and the cast was going to be announced next week as it pertains to when they first posted that now They gave an update a few weeks after that stating that Kirby Reed had been cast So Hayden Pantier had been cast and her sequence in the movie will be filmed last which is funny because they're seeing this first in the movie and Yes her and her boyfriend do get a replicated scene of Casey and Steve and Kirby apparently is in seclusion after a failed attempt at her life And he is they are adamant saying screenshot this post when the movie releases And they also know who got casted as the character of Rory So here's the thing in the initial post where they were talking about how Nev had already signed on to talk about where the plot takes place in Two different towns They said that the opening kill would involve a character from screen 5 and their boyfriend now I guess you can say Kirby is a character from screen 5. I guess you can say that I guess But I think that's one little hole already again to add on to why you probably shouldn't take this that serious the other thing that they said About this screen 6 movie is related to Nev Campbell even further Who again has not come out herself stating that hey, yeah, I'm in the movie. There's been no official press release or anything like that We've got nothing According to radio silence anything has to do with this production despite this person saying that we were supposed to get something a few weeks ago But they said something about Nev Campbell and her involvement as Sydney press got in what Sydney's role would be in the movie apparently from what they're claiming Sydney is going to be a cliffhanger ending where she takes a call at home after the events of six unfold and that's her part now They followed up by saying that I won't say who lives or dies, but you're close They finally confirmed the cast member which most guests would be in the movie that character was the hold up The cast was going to be announced a couple weeks ago. I just read the draft of the case announcement I think fans. I think for fans of the five For the fifth move, I guess you will be happy I will divulge that Sam is Tara's helicopter mom in this and that's where she fits into the college scenario With Tara and mostly her new friend group So it seems like this will I guess be if it's true focus more on Tara Sam being a helicopter mom from what I recall Helicopter mom that meaning just has to do with being very overprotective of one's safety Or one's child. So like Freddie Benson's mom and I Carly They also made a comment about the recent letter box cast rumors This is more recent from 16 hours ago. They said this is 100% fake The cast list was pushed back for one reason and that was because one person dropped out very late citing personal family obligations Back up was locked in six days later.  They're claiming that date is going to be May 13th Now May 13th will be I guess when we can see if this person is true Or somebody we can take seriously now Does it mean that what they're saying isn't going to be true because again This is shades of what happened with screen five or any of you who actually lurked over on reddit And remember how that all went down and how most of that stuff ended up being true Uh for the events of screen five. So as it pertains to What they had to say all of it's very interesting You know curbie being an opening kill not opening kill but being in the opening I would love it if they're doing a kasey steve type of thing I would imagine what they're going to do is have steve die But kasey actually makes it out alive this time this time around. Of course our kasey would be curbie reed They're not going to have both parties of the couple die to subvert expectations And knowing that hayden they stated that even before that that curbie had been cast Before we even got the announcement regarding Hayden pancier being associated with new management I find that interesting again. All of this could just be easy predictions You can make going off of already established continuity and other known facts that are already out in the public It'd be easy for you to of course make a lot of good predictions That are able to be then Present it from you to others that don't know you as I have insider information That's all I'm trying to say because of the fact that they they haven't disclosed anything about the cast But I do think it's interesting that when they saw the letterbox post they they made it a point to say that it's fake They also gave reason as to why we haven't gotten that cast announcement that they claimed we were going to get Many weeks ago during their earlier post talking about the film taking place in two different locations But nav camble being a cameo in the movie that again is something that I was already considering and something I wouldn't mind having if you're having her as a cameo to set up scream seven That's more useful than nav camble, sydney prescott being present for a long period of time with no real relevance To the overall story. She's just there because she is the kim possible of our narrative Somebody called her beat her they wanted to reach her and she came running I don't want that for sydney in this movie sydney prescott needs a purpose So if the purpose here in this movie is just a small cameo Used to set up scream seven and build intrigue. I'm all for it Maybe what happens if this is true is that one of the killers gets caught the other one doesn't And they managed to contact sydney by holding maybe gale hostage or something and that could be a way to bridge us into scream seven And maybe the opening of scream seven will be an attack on sydney prescott at home I know a lot of you would be down for that. I know a lot of people also be against a cliffhanger ending For scream six because then what happens if scream six isn't successful like many people think I do think that that would also be a nice way to kind of just market your movie The idea that sydney isn't in it nav camble did not return But then again You have a big surprise when you go watch the movie because here she is for at least two or three minutes Not that that's something that will be satisfying to you a diehard Boy, you'll love it still let me know what you guys think about that down the comment section below Do you think any of it is true? I'll leave a link to it in the description Subscribe turn on post the kitchen in this video in the description. I link to my social media accounts on facebook Twitter and instagram You can message me there of course them is in the movies and observe usually let me to cover in the future And with that in mind guys, I will see you in the next video


Hello everyone, I'm Alicia Anderson and welcome to the Fort Report. The Trinity River Vision Authority is throwing a birthday party for Countown, and the Main Street Bridge will be a giant waterslide. June 6th, we are celebrating Fort Worth's birthday with the 2,000 foot slip and slide down North Main Street, right here down the Paddock Viaduct Bridge. This slide is 2,000 feet, so this is the longest they've ever done and in the past it's been 1,000 feet, so in Fort Worth we have to do everything big, so we have a 2,000 foot slide. It covers the span of the bridge. If you don't have a slip and slide ticket by now, you won't be able to slide, but you can join the festival. We're celebrating with a festival. Panther Fest is going to feature all Fort Worth bands, Fort Worth beer, craft beers, and all Fort Worth food and vendors, so everything Fort Worth, everything local, all about Fort Worth birthday. What is really fun about the festival is we are actually invited food vendors and vendors from all over the different parts of the city to be a part of it, so not just Panther Island, but people, restaurants from the west side, the north side, from downtown, from the east side, they're all participating in this event. We're also ending the night with a great fireworks show, so Best Made Pickles and Mrs. Renfro Salsa is sponsoring a fireworks show to end the night. You might be a part of or a witness to the New World Record. We're going to have the Guinness Book of World Records come out and we're going to try to set the record for the most linear feet split in one hour on a slip and slide. So we will have a lot of people out here and everybody sliding at that time will help us get that world record, so Fort Worth will be in the record books. For more information about the festival, visit pantherfest.com. Here's a look at other events happening in and around Fort Worth in the next few weeks. For a listing of more events and city meetings, you always can check the calendar at the city's website.


Functional photoacoustic imaging, FPAI, is a powerful tool for biological imaging with unique capabilities, including scalability, high resolution, and the ability to measure functional properties. At the nanoscale, FPAI can image the surface light absorption characteristics of materials and single organelles within cells. At the microscopic and macroscopic scale, FPAI can measure and quantify physiological parameters such as oxygen saturation, desal morphology, blood flow, and metabolism. Recent technological advancements and applications are discussed, along with potential future directions. This article was authored by Bayoli Park, Donginoh, Jesus Kim, and others.
