Hey Virgo, welcome back to my channel. This is Kelly from House of Virgo. If you're new, please smash that subscribe button. I greatly appreciate that. If you like the readings that I give. Yeah, so this is a Virgo channel. Virgos only. Virgos sun, moon rising, or Venus. So welcome. Hello everybody in the chat. All right, as I was shuffling Virgo, the card fell out here. The aid of sorts. So let's get into this reading. Just be mindful that some of these messages, you know, it may resonate for you. It may not just take it with a grain of salt every day. It's a different message. Okay. So let's get into this Virgo. There's somebody here feeling trapped, hands tied behind their back, paralyzed by fear, feeling helpless in crisis. Someone feeling backed into a corner. And it's all in the mind. There's someone here feeling very isolated, maybe even victimized. Trying really hard to walk away from a situation or get out of their headspace. Okay. There's a lot of restrictions and a difficulty in having movement. Okay. I feel like somebody's having a hard time finishing something, letting something go and starting over. Okay. You have the queen of cups here. So could be a water sign. It's interesting because this card does have on it the sign of Libra. I saw something I don't know. This represents someone who's very loving, warm, sensitive. Okay. But I feel someone feels trapped. This person feels very trapped. Maybe it could be you, Virgo. This is someone who has psychic abilities, very intuitive, could be shy, doesn't have to be you, but it's an energy of someone very, maybe pretty or just very beautiful or handsome, kind energy, but they are feeling very trapped. This person is feeling just like they know it's like if they're able to move out of something out of a situation or complete something, there's a lack of a sense of belonging. I feel like someone feels isolated from the world very much, isolated from the world, trapped in their own world. So it's a real difficulty for this person. Let me see here. A lot of mental stress. Okay. Yeah. There's the hermit here. So somebody's here showing up, like very withdrawn. This person is tremendously withdrawn, seeking solitude, but they're in a position of also reflecting, doing a lot of reflection, soul searching as well. Virgo, I don't know if this is someone that you're connected to, but I get like this overall sense of sadness. This person has or is currently or will be having, they can't, it's so weird. It's not weird, but it's like they can't attain some type of success or achievement with you. So whenever I have the eight of sorts, I always feel like this is someone who is kind of like, if you hold this sideways, it's like someone who's on the train tracks, the damsel or someone in distress. Okay. This person doesn't move forward or has difficulty moving forward in life or feeling a part of you because of very strong mental disabilities, you know, anxiety, fear, terror, this person, they become paralyzed with fear when it, when it's time to do something or move in a particular way. Okay. Yeah. Here's you. You're showing up here 100% in the Queen of Pentacles. You're like a little social butterfly and you're completely different from this person. You're very independent, the Empress. Some of you might be mothers or fathers. Okay. I feel like you are, you're always in an energy of giving birth to new things. It's definitely a nurturing energy as well. Or maybe you're connecting with someone, they could be an earth sign or as I said, a Libra that's twice showing up here.   You're in more of a feminine energy, whether you're masculine or feminine, we all have, we have both of it, but more of your femininity shows. I feel like this person wants so much to have some kind of a reunion with you or like come together kind of thing or marriage, maybe a wedding.   What is this person thinking about at this time, Virgo? Okay, the sun. They think a lot about freedom, about getting out of this energy that they've been trapped in. And they're thinking about how to do that. There's something here to do where this person is thinking about expressing themselves to you some truth to be open with you. So these two cards are very different. The hermit is terribly isolated and withdrawn, where the sun is very open and transparent. This person struggles with both. They might sometimes be open and extroverted and at other times sink back into moments and times of isolation and fear. Yeah, it's kind of feels like when this person's good, they're really, really good. And when they're not there, just come, they just isolate themselves from everyone. So when we say the world or, or they're not online or they're not answering calls or they're not texting you because they go into this poor me kind of thing, they have this fear, they want to escape and release themselves from this.  See how else this person views you or what their energy is towards you here, Virgo. You bring them clarity. There's things that you say to this person. You clear their mind when you communicate with them, they have breakthroughs because of things you say, or the type of communication that you have with them, they realize the truth about, you know, when you say things, you give them visions, you help them to focus. But when they're left to their own devices, it seems like they, you know, then they get down on themselves a lot, six cups. So this person's constantly thinking about you, Virgo, they yearn to come back. They yearn to connect with you.  They think you look very young, youthful. They think you're very kind. They like your, the playful energy that, you know, occur between the two of you. They're all, they're stuck in a lot of past memories with you, nostalgia. But I feel like this person, there's an innocence they see about you that's different than anyone else they've ever known. Why does this person get so stuck? Like, so why do they isolate and just disappear? Maybe they ghost the Wheel of Fortune? They feel it's their karma. They feel they deserve nothing wonderful in their life. They feel like this is their fate that they're destined to always be isolated by other people alienated. They feel different. They don't feel like they're a part of this world. They don't feel like they're, I don't know if they alienate themselves or they've been alienated in the past, but they feel like this is their destiny to always be not good enough. They don't feel like they could ever be good enough for you. They don't believe that anything can change. This person may settle for friendship with lovers. They don't see themselves as being in a romantic relationship because they struggle with self-worths. Yet, at the same time, if you were to tell this person, okay, let's just be friends, they would just come toward you immediately. Like, if that's all that you could offer to them, they would take it. But when it comes to romance or love, this person focuses very much on the negative. Like, what if it doesn't work out? What if I get rejected? They suffer with maybe a little too much self-absorption, depression, remorse, and they feel like they miss opportunities all the time. They miss love opportunities because they get so locked into their own thought process and their own, well, oh, I messed this up or I messed that up and I can't do this and I can't do that. But I feel like when it comes to you, Virgo, nothing compares. I feel like you got very close to this person in ways that nobody else has, but I feel like they were afraid to open up even more because they don't want you to see how down, so about themselves that they are. So with the sun and the six of wands, this person, what they do expose to the world or to others is a winning mindset.  Like, I'm okay. I'm triumphant. People love me. I'm recognized. People applause me, fame, celebrity, fans, well, wishers, supporters, crowds. They're open to that because it makes them feel better. It gives them a sense of validation. Okay. And also, maybe, from you, when you are able to give that to them. Okay, so now we have the king of cups here, Cancer Scorpio Pisces. We have Virgo, Taurus, Capricorn. Let's see. I feel like this person has, there's, why is, I gotta find out. I gotta find out more what's going on. Okay. I feel like if an opportunity comes this way from you, this person here will jump on it or they will tell you, okay, we're going to do this. We're going to do that and develop some kind of plan with you. You know, I kind of, I feel like this person, they deceive themselves. I feel like they lie to themselves. They tell themselves that they can't be with you because they don't feel worthy. But it's actually, they don't believe that anyone or that you could love them as much as you do. It's hard for them to grasp that and they run away when you approach or when you try to give affection and love to this person, they run away. They, it scares them because they don't feel like they deserve it. How else does this person feel about Virgo? Oh my gosh, night of cups. Like you are their heart, Virgo. You are their heart. You have swept this person off their feet. They find you so charming and attractive. I mean, you might have invited this person to come into your heart. And they might have wanted that, but they might have denied or rejected that or refused it. And they're regretting this right now. I feel like it's this person going through some spiritual changes, because I do see a lot of reflection here. And I do see this person is soul searching. It's not looking at you. They already love you. They already know how they feel about you.  But they're taking a look at themselves. Why is it so? Why do they wear this mask? Why is it so important for them to only expose, to not share their downtime and to only share their uptime? So having a positive mindset is good, but faking a positive mindset is unhealthy, because it's denying how we truly feel deep within, rather than just acknowledging our emotions, because we strive to be positive. Every day to find the good in things.   And I'm going to feel it, but I'm going to let it pass. So, yeah, I feel like this person is definitely going to be transitioning. They're healing 100%. So it feels like because they feel lost and alone without you, any even small little bit of communication, you might be communicating with this person right now, maybe in the 5D. And if you are, it doesn't feel like it's enough, but they can hear you. They can feel your energy. They know that you love them. This person, what's moving them forward is that they feel like you have had this ability to, just by your very presence, to be able to lead this person when they were broken, and to give reassurance and tell them that things are going to be okay. Even if you have left each other out in the cold, this person heavily depends on you in a sense of like, their life feels like nothing without you. So with the Six of Swords, this is kind of like the calm after a storm overcoming emotional mental hardship. Okay. Healing, making some progress. I feel like this person is getting out of tumultuous water, which is these emotions, these feelings and coming out, maybe they were in some type of depression or a sense of feeling lost. This person is so, they are just very much, they love you Virgo. They love you 100%. Like it's deep. It's not just page of cups love. This is like, this person admires you so much.  Even if there is no communication at this time with this person, this you're all that they think about, and their actions that they take, they consult with you in the 5D. Like, it's like, if they're going to do something, they'll say to themselves, well, what would Virgo think or what would Virgo do? It's almost as if you're an undercurrent that runs through them and every step they take and every move they make, I'll be watching you, they're watching you. It has to do with how you would feel about it, if you knew about it, what you would think about it, if you knew about it, what you would say, what you wouldn't say, they want you to see them. They, it's almost like performance. They don't, I don't know what this really means. It feels like they want you to envision them the way they're envisioning you. Is this a separation? What is this? Well, I do feel like you guys are in separation. I mean, this is such a far cry, but this is, then yesterday's reading, but this is a much more deeper, intuitive message about this person. Okay. You're somewhere out there in the world, Virgo, and they're not a part of it, and they are very distraught about this. And it's mostly because of their own doing, because they don't feel worthy to be in the world that you are in. Yeah, this person wants to be everything for you. They long for this, to be this person that you can depend on, that you know will protect you. I do see healing. I do. I do see in this time that you guys are not really in alignment right now.  I just heard a father figure puts a lot of pressure on them, heavy burden, or they feel very pressured or burdened as a father, if they are a father. They're doing everything by themselves right now, and it's a real struggle for them.  They're out here alone, living life, and it's you make everything easier for this person. That's how they feel right now. This is how this is what they're coming to. This is part of this reflection. How important the role as a lover that you played in this person's life, they feel that void, that emptiness, that loneliness, they're trying to keep themselves from becoming too restrictive, too anti-social, too withdrawn, because they tend like, there's a tendency to go in that direction, but then it's too lonely for this person. They're trying to keep themselves from getting, becoming paranoid in some ways. They don't want to think that you're with someone else. Even if you are or if you're not, it's too much. They don't look. They don't look for signs that you are gone. They try to keep you in their head, in their heart, that you too will return, and they want to come back to you in a completely different way, in a brand new loving beginning. They want to, you're like a blessing to them. There's nobody else, Virgo. I mean, this person meets other people, they communicate, they talk to other people, they have friends, and I think that when this person met you, that might be how it started, but it changed somewhere along the lines.  What happened in the past? Okay, queen of sorts. There might have been some criticism, some honest, truthful words, some candid communication, wow, about their self-limiting behavior, about their lack of direction, about their inability to let go, about their constant like being stuck and not being able to move forward. If you said that to this person, Virgo, I feel like that is what they're looking at right now, why they have confined themselves, or why they confined themselves, why they put these limits on themselves, why they are always so uncertain, or why do they always need to release or run away, because every time they do that, they lose people. What is the insecurity?  What is the victimization? Where is that coming from? A lot of self-reflection going on with this person, and I think there might have been a conversation in the past about this that has caused this person to really take a look at this. Why deny your love? And some of you may have felt to yourselves like, okay, there's the moon. You might have had a misconception about yourself, or this might have made you feel very insecure, thinking maybe you weren't valuable enough, or you weren't good enough, but that wasn't the case. It's how they felt about themselves, which is why they couldn't cross over, or had nothing to do with you, because all I see here is how much this person just loves you so much, like how they have such a deep feeling, deep emotion for you. This is their journey, Virgo, not yours. This is something that they have to look at themselves and ask themselves, am I truly happy all by myself, isolated all the time? Am I doing that because I really like being alone, or is it because I don't trust, or I have a hard time trusting? I'm, you know, is it because of my anxiety? Do I have attachment anxiety? Or do I run away when things, when I feel nervous, or when I feel like if I get too close to Virgo, I'm going, Virgo's going to see everything about me, and then decide that I'm not worthy, or Virgo's going to see my flaws, and think that they're not going to want me, and they're going to want somebody else who's better. So I feel Virgo that, you know, you've got somebody here who's on a dark night journey here. If you're, there you go, deaf. That's always my dark night of the soul card, always. Okay, the spiritual transformation is happening. This is a letting go, making change, and releasing all of this dark energy. This is what is happening with this person at this time, and you may not even be aware of it. It might be hidden, like the moon here. It's hidden. You might be thinking that this person is left you, and they're starting all over again with somebody else. I don't feel like that's happening here. And if you know that that is what's happening, then this just might not be for you this reading here. This is for somebody else. For those of you who either don't know or know it's not happening, I feel like there's a subconscious energy that is happening with this person where that subconsciousness is opening up these hidden fears. Okay, and it's, there's an unveiling that's happening here. These secrets are beginning to come to light just a little bit, not a lot, but this person is questioning themselves. They just gave me the numbers 608. 608. That means 608. And then, okay, weird, they just gave me a song by Queen. It's called Best Friend. I don't know if this person is listening to this song right now. Maybe they've never heard it. I don't know. Maybe you heard it or you're listening to it, but Spirit is saying, this is a real, real thing. There is a, there is, it's not just Best Friend, but it's like the lyrics to that song. And I can't even remember how it goes. But it's, you have to listen to it because that's how this person feels about you. Okay. They're, they're definitely heartbroken. Their heart is so, if you're in separation, this person is tremendously sad without you deep in their heart. Okay. They might be causing confusion and making it seem like everything is fine, but that's not the case at all. This person feels extremely lonely and completely removed even from themselves, but that's, you know, there's some healing that's happening here, which is beautiful. Okay. There's some definite upheaval. There's grief and sorrow, but Virgo, native swords, there's big changes coming with this person. Okay. I feel like they're going to stop thinking or overthinking so much and they're just going to seize the day, just jump in, just come out of nowhere, like a rebel, like a rebel, just come out of nowhere, daring move. This is like the opposite of the aid of swords, you know, the aid of swords has like self-imposed prisoner. The night of swords is like, give me that sword, we're moving out of here. We're getting out of this. So I just heard Aquarius. Okay. You know, Virgo, I just heard it's strange that this, everything about you, this person longs to be, you inspire them. The things they see about you is that you're very grounded and successful, at least as far as the male, the masculine, very wealthy or a business person, you're always bettering yourself. You're not generally a risk taker.  You provide security and I feel like this is something that this person is not used to having from a lover in their life. I just heard, they said, tell them this, if you want a safe relationship, well, how do you do that?   You're showing up here that way. They see you that way. You're safe in the sense of like, they can talk to you. They can tell you things. For the most part, I feel like they feel that way about you. They don't feel that way about themselves. You provide more security than they have been able to provide you. Okay. And I feel like that's why this person is very dependent on you. Um, could be financial dependence. Um, it could be just, you know, when they're struggling emotionally, they can hear your voice and know that you give good direction or you, you say things to them. Yeah. Look, nine of pentacles. You inspire this person to, to not give up. You inspire them. It must be conversations you had in the past or how you are with them now in conversations that you have now. You give hope. You give balance and structure to this person. Stability. Yeah. In times of chaos and destruction. Um, you know, I don't know, Virgo, I feel like this person, they hear you, they hear what you say, or they, they replay things that were said to them by you when they're in confusion or upheaval or they've had change. They think to themselves, well, what would Virgo do? How would Virgo handle this when their life is in chaos or when they feel like things are falling apart? They think, well, what would Virgo do? Well, Virgo would just stand independent and stay in a success mindset. Virgo doesn't give up. Virgo brings hope and inspiration during times of stress and anxiety. And this is what you give to them. This is the gift. This is what they see. You bring love. You bring opportunities like there's, it's crazy, Virgo. It just makes me feel like the only reason that this person struggles to move forward with you is because of them, not because of you. And it's almost sad. You know, this person has suffered so much anxiety and grief. They struggle just to cope or face people in life and you in the past, of course, if this is the past, well, I guess it would be. They have a lot of mental anguish and a lot of remorse. They have guilt. If they came at you in just a physical way, a physical relationship, I made, and you were left with the impression that they were only wanting physical intimacy and not to get to know you. They might have done that in the beginning. They regret that so much now because they fell in love. They fell in love with you. Look at this. Cupid's arrows. This person did not expect to fall in love with you. And now there's no one else they can even imagine themselves having any kind of emotion towards. So Virgo, it, you know, this is what's going on with this person. And are they going through these healing changes? Yes. They're gaining that inner strength, courage, confidence, taming the beast within the beast is their negative thinking and their stress and fears, overcoming self doubt, because that's what all of this is. Their self doubt, their self doubt, learning to control themselves, their negative sides, push that away and get themselves into a position of believing in themselves that, you know, yes, I can do this. Yes, I can be with Virgo. Yes, I can offer Virgo everything that Virgo needs. Yes, I can do this courage. This person lacked courage in a love connection with you. They may have pretended or, you know, feigned that they were successful at it or tried to show you that they knew exactly what but it was a front, a mask, putting on a front and a mask. They didn't want you to know that they were struggling with being balanced and very balanced, you know, they had this person has a lot of ups and downs, emotional ups and downs, could be hormonal, it could just be like mood destabilization. They might be going on mood stabilizers or getting some help or adjusting some medication or just adjusting there. Because when we look at the water there with the ships on the water, that's very rollercoastery emotions. And I feel like this person, you know, ups and downs, mood problems, very moody, one minute, very extroverted, like I said, and happy and joyous and the next minute they're gone into this dark place. That's that dark place. So they've always been quite conflicted. So I see them here trying to find balance. And they've this dark place is what, you know, latches its claws into them and drags them down under the water where it's suffocating the deepest, darkest water. This might be a little bit of the story of Hades and Persephone, the Hierophant. I don't think this person is ever going to let you go, Virgo. I think they don't want you to let them go. I think they want you to somehow intuitively understand and be patient to intuitively understand that this person is going through a, you know, a heavy transformation. I think you guys are still connected in the 5D. All right. And I just want to tell you all that this message, I know some of you have passed people that you're not interested in. This is not for you. This is for those who are like, I mean, I'm tapping into some heavy-duty energy here, some very deep intuitive stuff. And if you are like, no, that's not for me because you know how the readings go sometimes. That's fine. That's fine. Okay, there you go. The High Priestess and the Hierophant. Neither one of you letting go of each other here. Okay. And inner knowing. This is a difference between religion and spirituality. I really actually have never actually seen that together. But now that I'm looking at it, yeah, because the Hierophant is like, you know, religion, conformity, conventional commitment, beliefs, traditional values, institutions and high priestess is more along the lines of like spiritual insight. This is emotional stability. So I really feel that you guys, you're holding on to each other still. There's a thread that you is tied to both of you, that you could, you can't cut it. There's no scissors for this thread. This is life. This is lifetime. Is this a twin? Plame? I feel like it might be. Yeah. I mean, the lovers hasn't shown up. 12 cups did not show up. But the overall energy makes me feel like a twin. Does that mean that you need to zip by the phone and wait for this person and stop everything that you're doing? No. You have to let people or this person go through their dark night journey. And that's all that you can do. That's the only power that you have, Virgo, is to allow this person is to control of yourself, which means to let them go through this. It's a let go kind of thing. And for you, Virgo, just keep building. Okay, just keep building yourself. Your life, stay dedicated to your goals, stay concentrated on what you're doing for yourself, whether that's in business, trade, could be self employment. It could be just whatever is the daily grind, whatever is consistent, keep that going because that keeps you focused every day, every day, adding to it every day, stay consistent and patient. Yep, that opportunity is going to come. It is the opportunity for both of you to reinvest in this connection, this loving relationship in a healthier way. Right now, it seems like no at this time. But I do feel like this person, okay, here's King of Wands, Aries, Leo, Sagittarius, I do feel like this person is getting themselves, they're getting motivated. And I think if you understand what I said before, I mean, they're this person has, they're seeing these visions of what it could be like with you and manifesting that, you know, the King of Wands, they're showing up in this energy is very bold and energetic, takes action, comes with confidence, fearlessness, freeing up the thinking.     As soon as that energy and that sun gets turned on, I feel like then you guys become electrified. So it's like a low current right now, but that current is constant between the two of you.  And I'm not going to give you a time frame for this. There's a happily ever after energy. Bergo, I feel like surrender, you're both going to surrender this, but mostly this person, this might be something that you have always known intuitively that this was your person, and you've always wanted this. But I feel like this person was just fearful of it, that you would be too harsh on them, or are they were fearful they would sabotage the relationship, if it ever got to that point. But I see surrender here, I feel like this person is going to surrender to what is meant to be this divine timing will be coming.  And this was just something that was out of this world, this connection. And unlike anything, either one of you expected to have or experience. And why you're both still in each other's energies, because it's something that was meant for you. But right now, you both have lessons, there's a lot of wounds on going battle within self, you have yours. This person has theirs. But this is close to success, nearly there. Gathering strength, encourage to keep persevering. This is not over. This, this connection, this relationship, this person. Yeah, there will be some communication, and we'll tell you that this person's going to kind of get back up on to their in a positive state at some point going forward. And there will be like, a full call or maybe a text or maybe even a letter for some of you or card. You're definitely going to get good news from this person. I feel like they're going to communicate that they feel very happy and they want to call a truce. I feel like they're going to tell you that they're facing their fears. But they may not say exactly their fears. For some of you, they might. They may tell you that there was somebody else that had, they were still attached to that they were torn. And their loyalty, that maybe an apology for divided loyalty, but that there, it was a difficult decision and they did sit on the fence and they did keep you in a stalemate. But they're facing the truth is that you're the one whom they love. Yeah, they're coming out in the open here with this, with judgment. This person's coming right out and they've been looking itself. They're having an awakening. They're making a decision. You are their purpose and their life calling. They hope that you'll forgive them. This person is really hoping that you will forgive them and there will be an opportunity to start over together in your lives. A choice. Soulmates, love, twin souls, kindred spirits is what both of you are. And decision here being made. Coming back into harmony, relearning to trust one another. I mean, I think this is such a beautiful reading. It's magic. This is your magic man or your magic woman, Virgo. This person, these are two Gemini's for some of you, they could be Gemini or have Gemini in their chart somewhere.   And then when you came together, there was some type of magic that happened. And for some it happened right away. For others it didn't happen right away, but or for one it happened before the other. Somebody's catching up here to acknowledging what this is, this connection, this partnership, these two perfect human beings who are completely imperfect, but completely made for each other, built, put on this planet specifically for one another. Two people who have went their entire lives looking for their other half or just always feeling that loss, that void and then coming together and just having a hard time believing they've actually met themselves here on this earth. And this is definitely a twin flame struggle for sure. Yeah, I mean Virgo makes me want to cry. It makes me want to cry because I really feel like this is a love story. This is like Romeo and Juliet. This is a love story like none other. This person loves you so much Virgo and their struggle and you love them so much and your struggle, but just this connecting with each other and seeing each other in one another. It's like, it's almost like both of you are cut from the same cloth. It seems that way. Even if you're not, you could be completely different. You could have grown up at completely different environments. You could be from different parts of the world. You could have different languages. You could be different races like there could be so many obstacles and so many differences between you. Yet there's a resemblance and a familiarity between the two of you that is a confirmation that this is your twin. This is your person twins. They either look alike or they're cut from the same cloth and they don't look the same, but there's a recognition one cannot live without the other, you know, and it's painful to be in separation, but it causes immense growth when separated. It's soul changing. Have faith Virgo. See ya.

The famous radio actress and dramatic coach, Elsie Mae Gordon. A well-known radio editor to answer letters from listeners. Your old favorites, The Mills Brothers. And finally, an unusual human interest story told by Cheerio. The boys and gals, our first guest is a man who for years was a legendary figure in the announcers' group around NBC. All he represented to a great many new announcers was a practically unpronounceable name. You see, the applicant for an announcers' job must pronounce difficult names that come up in musical programs like Mussorgsky or Muscagni and so on. But one of the names in the tests was spelled Yoichi Hiraoka. It was spelled Y-O-I-C-H-I-H-I-R-A-O-K-A. Well, it was pronounced by many taking that announcers' test as Yoichi Hirokawa or Yoichi Hiroike, and a great many other variations, all of which are wrong, because right from the voice of the authority itself it should be pronounced Yoichi Hiraoka. You see, anyone can pronounce it just like he did. And Yoichi is the name of one of the world's greatest xylophone virtuosos. Mr. Hirooka will reveal the skill which makes him a musician important enough for his name to be part of that test as he plays the Chadas of Monty. Now for your magnificent play. The performer is just getting his or her start or an experienced performer feels that he wants to widen his field, learn how to interpret different types of roles in dialects than he's used to doing. You sometimes go to a person who plays a very important part in radio, the dramatic coach. As a sideline to her being one of the best and most versatile of actresses in radio, Elsie Mae Gordon is a dramatic coach. And here she is to tell you about and show you something of this art. I'm very happy to present Elsie Mae Gordon.  I love it. Elsie, what ability must a dramatic coach have? Well, personally I believe a dramatic coach should be a pretty good actor, should have a thorough knowledge of acting and of voice production and to be able to teach both. Well, now you're an expert on how to speak correctly. As a matter of fact, Elsie, you had a program of your own on voice. Yes, I had a program called Your Voice and You, an NBC feature. I've announced it many times. But now you're not only an expert dramatic character actress, you're also a dialect expert. You do practically all dialects. I wonder if you could give us an example of your dialect coaching technique. Well, I'd be glad to give you an idea at least. Oh, well fine. For example, here's a young actress, Elaine Kent, Elsie, who has appeared in such shows as John's Other Wife, Our Gal Sunday, Great Plays and Other Productions, and Miss Kent's Problems This. In three days she's going to try for a role in a daytime serial in which she has to do an Irish dialect. Yes, it's a part of a cook and I know very little about Irish dialect. Miss Gordon, I wonder if you could coach me and it didn't time for me to try out for that part. Well, Miss Kent, to really do a good character job you have to know your people and that requires time and study, of course. Oh, I understand that. But you see, I haven't got the time to do that because I have to do this audition in a couple of days. I know, and I am frequently called upon to coach in just such a hurried manner. So we have to learn by imitation purely. And in imitating, we approach it from two or three points of view. First, physical aspect, then the mental, and then the sheerly technical. In other words, we're going to pick a character that is typical. If I go and show you how to do a negro dialect, don't mean that every colored person talk like this, but I go and pick something that's typical, I mean. And if we're going to do a Frenchman, they don't all say Zis and Zet, but we pick a Zis and Zet. Miss Bond. So to get back to the Irishman, I'm going to select Brigitte O'Halloran, the Irish washwoman. So to give the physical aspect, separate your feet and get a good broad stance there and put your hands on your hips, elbows a Kimbo. And I'm going to ask you to demonstrate how we get to the mental state of mind of Brigitte to imitate me as I say a few phrases, characteristic phrases. I'll go on with you now. I'll go on with you now. Ah, the loons. They talk and they talk about, will they be fighting? Ah, the loons. They talk and talk about, will they be fighting? Ah, sure, and you kiss the blur in the store. Oh, and sure, and you kiss the blur in the store. Well, now you begin to feel more like the Irish washwoman, don't you? Yes, I do. And it helps a bit to wave the head to talk from the hips. Now, I'm going to give you this sentence, and it reads, yes, the gentleman told me if I came to you, you would show me how to speak with or without an accent. And I want you to give it to me in your best Irish. Go on now. Ah, yes, the gentleman told me if I came to you, you would show me how to speak with or without an accent. And that's pretty good because you got the Irish there and know the rest of it, but it's not good enough. So I want you to imitate me and we'll change yes to yes. Listen carefully, and the gentleman to gentleman, yes. Oh, yes, the gentleman told me. Oh, yes, the gentleman told me. And you notice what we did with the word told? We put an extra L or two. We want to twist the tongue around and make it a good brogue. Ah, yes, the gentleman told me. Ah, yes, the gentleman told me. If you'd come to, if I'd go to you. If I'd go to you. Now, we put in a phrase, a technical phrase, you'd be after showing me. You'd be after showing me. And we don't spell after, A-F-T-E-R. We say A-F-T-H-E-R. After showing me. After showing me. How to speak. S-H-P-A-K-E. Speak. How to speak. How to speak. How to speak. You see, how we go at these words. How to speak with or without me accent. How to speak with or without me accent. Now, would you be reading it for me with that way? Ah, yes, the gentleman told me. If I came to you. You'd be after showing me. How to speak with or without me accent. Would your girls be after permarting me and making me listen to her up to me? That's all the time we have. Well, I'll be seeing you tomorrow at last. Right. Thank you very much, Elsie and Delay. Audities in radio. Doing odd, true little behind-the-mic stories that help make radio sometimes amusing, sometimes exasperating, but always interesting to the people in it. This week's Audity. Now we'll give you further examples of your favorite announcers' flups. Mistakes on the air. David Ross, in advertising a popular mouthwash, said, You will be delighted with the taste of this new invigorating mouthwash. Yes, some years ago, the Dean of announcers, Milton Cross, was giving an announcement from the Veterans Bureau to financial assistance to indigent World War veterans with 50% disability. But Milt said it this way. Requests to the Veterans Bureau should be sent by indignant veterans who can prove 50% desirability. Add a couple of weeks ago, our own announcer on this program, my colleague Gil Motton, made an announcement on behalf of the government, and he was supposed to ask, Do you want a civil service job? But it came out like this. Do you want a chival-gerver sob? Carl Dickerman of WEI in Boston in plugging a well-known dishwashing machine said, Try a con over a dishwashing machine to wash your dishes. Then we recall Harry von Zell, who in introducing the then president of the United States said, We pay tribute to our great president, Hubert Heaver. And finally, finally the announcer, who shall remain nameless, who in plugging a well-known beverage said, Fill up your glass with Boopert's Rear. Behind the mic salute, a program you love. We in radio believe that our profession has a tradition of which it can well be proud. A tradition of good programs that linger fondly in the memory.  This afternoon behind the mic brings you one of the most popular singing groups in the history of radio, called The Mills Brothers, who were on the air from 1931 to 1937. They've but recently returned from a successful tour of South America and are now appearing at the Flatbush Theatre in Brooklyn. So let's go back to October 5th of 1933 and one of the early programs of The Mills Brothers. Good evening, everyone. To open their program tonight, The Mills Brothers' four boys and a guitar present their own unique arrangement of that old-time favorite, Swanee River. Some think it's better to be all married not inside, to find inside. But we love to spend our time in singing some joyous song, some joyous song to set the air with music really ringing. It's far from wrong, it's far from wrong Listen, listen, echo sounds so far Listen, listen, echo sounds so far For Nicule, for Nicula, for Nicule, for Nicula Echo sounds so far, for Nicule, for Nicula And on behalf of our listeners, I want to thank The Mills Brothers for the pleasure they've given us in the past and express the hope that they'll soon be on the air regularly again. From listeners. Each week, we invite the listeners of Behind the Mic to write us questions about radio and those we consider to be of most general interest. We have answered on the air by the radio editor of some outstanding newspaper or magazine. Today's questions will be answered by Fred Samus, editor of Radio Mirror Magazine. Mr. Samus, Fred Lewis Jr. of Saginaw, Michigan writes in to ask, Very often on radio programs, you hear actors' voices fading out, usually at the end of a radio scene. How is this done? There are two ways in which actors' voices are faded. As they are talking, they gradually step away from the microphone and the farther they get away from the mic, the more their voices fade. Or you may have what is known in radio slang as a board fade, in which the actor talks normally at the microphone, but the engineer in the control room dials and gradually fades out the voice. Ms. Ida Hollander of Miami Beach, Florida, sent this one in. How are stations on a network able to receive the same program at the same time? Do the programs travel by radio from one station to another? No, on a network broadcast, the program travels from the point where the program originates, as for instance, let's say, in Radio City, New York, by special telephone wires to the various stations on the network. When the program is received by the station by telephone wire, its volume is then amplified or increased and sent out by each individual station over its own radio transmitter. And Mr. Henry Bart of New York writes in to say this, Jack Benny is now in New York to publicize the opening of his new picture starring himself and Fred Allen. Can you please tell me why he doesn't stay here in broadcast regularly from New York as he used to do? The reason Jack broadcasts from California is that he now makes his home there and has done so for the past several years. Furthermore, it is a matter of convenience as he has various picture commitments and living in California finds him right on the spot. Thank you, Fred Sammers, for answering those questions. There are certain names in radio which are remembered with genuine and lasting affection. High in this list is the name of Cheerio, who for many years conducted one of Radio's most popular inspirational programs. It was always a boon to the ill in health and in spirit. And now here is Cheerio himself to tell us a human interest story behind his old programs. I'm proud to present Cheerio. Cheerio, first I want to tell you that we've received a great many letters from our listeners asking what's become of you, just what you've been doing since you left the air last April. Well, Ben, I've been spending the past year putting together the material for a book. Cheerio's book of days, comfort, cheer and encouragement for every day of the year. It's made up of favorite selections that I've used on my broadcasts over a period of 15 years. It's published at last. And I've got writer's cramp, Ben, autographing copies. Well, it must be a great book, Cheerio, because you broadcast some really grand material and your old loyal audience will be glad to hear about your book. Now, come on, Cheerio. You must have some extraordinary human interest stories to change your broadcast. Well, Ben, I don't know how extraordinary this one is, but it does stand out in my memory. Well, tell us about it. Once upon a time, I received a letter from a restaurant's hospital from a soldier in closing a poem and asking me to read it on the air. He said it had been given him by a nurse who had helped him back to health after the war. I read this poem over the air, and a few days later, I received a letter from a woman who said that she had been the nurse who had given the soldier that poem. She told me why she'd given it to him. The story starts in a base hospital in Paris in 1919. She was taking care of a patient who seemed to be particularly grateful to her. One day, as she was dressing his wounds, the soldier became very... There. How's that? All right. Now that the dressing's over. Yes, I know. Changing the bandages does hurt. Have a cigarette? Thanks. Gee nurse, I... I don't know how to thank you. You've been pretty swell to me. Oh, that's just my job. Well, maybe, but you're swell just the same. I'm not the sentimental kind, Miss Wilson, but there's just one other person I think as much of as I think of you. He's dead now. He was my buddy. Oh, I see. Yeah, if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be here, even with this bum leg. I remember going over the top. We ran into a machine gun nest that almost wiped out the whole company. It got me in the leg. The rest of the boys beat it back to the lines. They had to. But there I was out in no man's land. My leg felt like it had almost dropped off with pain. Then Fritz started dropping shells all around me. I didn't care. And then I felt myself being lifted. It was my buddy. He'd come out after me. He started dragging me back to our trenches. He got me up to the parapet, and one of the boys pulled me down into the trench. Just as my buddy began to climb down, the machine gun started again and got him. He never knew what hit him. Your buddy must have been a brave man. He sure was. He was never a better, finer guy than Bill White. Bill White? Was he tall, good-looking man with black hair? Did he have a small crescent scar on his forehead? Yeah. Yeah, that was Bill. Did you know him? Know him. He was my fiance. He was reported missing. He never knew what happened to him. I thought for a while that he was captured, but then somehow I knew he was dead. I used to wake up night screaming, seeing Bill lying in some muddy field, suffering, suffering horribly before he went. I'm glad he died the way he did. Fast. I'm glad. Thank you, soldier, for letting me know. Now at least I know what happened. You see, later, the nurse gave the soldier this poem. It had become her favorite because she said it expressed her experience. Achirio, what was that poem? It was by a woman, Jesse B. Rittenhouse, and that nurse explained that the poet speaks for all women in war. Over on the battlefield, I do not go with sickening fear at heart. And when the crier calls the latest horror, I do not start. I have no lover on the battlefield. I am exempt from terror of the night. I can lie down serene and unregarding until the light. But on the battlefield, had I a lover, our life would purge itself of petty pain. And what would matter? All the petty losses, the petty gain. I should be one with those who suffer greatly with pain all pain above, and I should know then, per adventure, the heart of love. Thank you, Achirio, and success to your book. Friends, be sure to listen again next week when Behind the Mic will bring you a salute to Roxy's gang with members of the original gang, an actual rehearsal of a radio version of the Citadel with screen and stage stars Ralph Forbes and Jill Esmond, in addition to which there'll be more of the glamour, the human interest, the comedy, and the drama that are found behind the mic. This is the National Podcasting Company.


Hi, my name is Amy Collier, Senior Cloud Advocate with Microsoft. And joined with me today is Federico Garini, Senior Cloud Solution Architect for Customer Architecture and Engineering for ADS. Thanks for joining me, Federico. Hello, I mean, thank you for having me. This will be great to go over, but before we go into your network design guide, I wanted to go over the agenda, we're going to go explain the whole design guide, the approaches used, and the best order for use. We also have these accelerator landing zones for reference architecture and reference implementation. So as you can see, the Azure VMware Solution Planning Zone Accelerator has different design guidelines for you to go through. There's different design areas for network topology, connectivity, so we definitely recommend you check that out. The second link that we also have is the GitHub repository. You might even find this network guide there right now, but we have our accelerated landing zones and different options for greenfield and brownfield deployments. So let's start with the network design guide to go over all of this stuff. Yeah, sure. So the network design guide is an additional piece of content that we recently published in our enterprise scale for ADS repo. It is documentation that describes the recommended approach to designing network connectivity for ADS. This recommended approach aligns with the Azure Landing Zone's reference architecture. ADS connectivity is a very broad topic. Yeah, and in ADS kind of cloud, it may require connectivity to multiple different things, connectivity to Azure native resources, connectivity to on-prem data centers, connectivity to the Internet. ADS customers have complex and often conflicting requirements. These guides suggests a divide and conquer approach to tackle them. Okay. So can you tell us more about the approach used and advocated by the network design guide? Yeah, sure. The guide identifies four main design areas which are summarized and presented at the very beginning of the guide as you can see here. The first design area is connectivity to on-prem sites, then we have connectivity to Azure Virtual Networks, then inbound Internet connectivity, and finally outbound Internet connectivity. It is important to note that these four design areas are not completely independent on each other. Design decisions made in one area may limit the options available to you in other areas. The network design guide recommends the order in which the four design areas should be tackled to minimize such dependencies and to avoid entering loops whereby every new element added to a design requires going back and reconsider the design decisions already made. Okay. So then what would be the best order recommended by this design guide? Well, the most critical design area is connectivity between ADS private Clouds and on-prem sites, especially data centers with complex network. So it is critical that this is addressed first, so that the full spectrum of options can be considered without any constraints set by design decisions made for other design areas. Next, it makes sense to finalize the design decision for connectivity between AVS and native Azure Virtual Networks because that decision is almost entirely driven by the connectivity option chosen for connectivity with on-prem sites. Finally, Internet connectivity should be designed. Inbound and outbound Internet connectivity are two different things from a routing perspective. Therefore, the guide considers them as two different design areas. The recommendation here is that inbound Internet connectivity should be addressed first, because some decisions made for inbound Internet connectivity may limit the options available for outbound connectivity. Okay. So do you have any final thoughts on everything? Yeah, definitely. While the network design guide provides for each design area a pretty comprehensive set of options, real-world implementation may need to address very specific constraints or requirements. The ability to adapt the options presented in the network design guide to specific scenarios does require the solid understanding of the basics of AVS networking. This is why the guide contains an introductory section that summarizes the key concepts. It is not meant to be a replacement for the AVS official docker because that stays the automated authoritative source of tools for anything related to AVS. However, it provides a cohesive view of AVS networking with links to the relevant documentation articles in the official docker. This introductory section is presented immediately after the design areas and can be found by clicking the link here. As you can see, it is a collection of topics that are important to understand before starting to design complex AVS network solutions. Great. It's great to have all this at hand to help us decide what to do first and since everything builds up on another, like a building block to make that right decision in the beginning is really important. So thank you, Federico, for covering what the network design guide is. And I believe our next video will be covering that design phase one connected to the AVS to your on-premises data center. That's right. Thank you, Amy.


Yoga is essentially understanding, aligning your system with the cosmic geometry. See, in the yogic system, we see the body as 114 chakras, seventy-two thousand nadis meeting in hundred and fourteen junctions, which are called as chakras. Out of these two are outside your body, 112 inside the body.  They are like that. If other things work, they will flower by themselves. So, there are only 108 with which you can work. So, 108 has become significant. If you wear any beads, people wear 108 beads, if they say a mantra, 108 because these are the 108 chakras that you need to work with. This 108 number is significant and you will see it in the east. Everything is 108 because the diameter of the sun and the distance between the earth and the sun is 108 times. The diameter of the moon and the distance between the moon and the earth is 108 times. The diameter of the earth and the diameter of the sun is 108 times. And in this body, there are 108 chakras that you can work upon. So, the cosmic geometry, I can go into a lot of arithmetic which will match with your human system. And these things we have been conscious of and that is how we came up with 84 basic asanas. Out of these 84, if you do twenty-one of them properly and you just master one, your system will get aligned with the cosmic system. Once it's aligned, everything that you need to know about the cosmos is right here.
