English pronunciation poem with audio from espressoenglish.net English pronunciation is crazy. If you had any doubt, this English pronunciation poem will show you several hundred English words that look the same, but are pronounced very differently. If you want an extra challenge, try reciting the poem after listening to the audio. Why are English pronunciation and spelling so irregular? Part of the reason is that written English was standardized at a time when the pronunciation was also changing and evolving. So words with the same spellings ended up having different sounds based on the most common way of pronouncing them. Also, English borrows many words from other languages, like ballet from French, but often keeps the spelling of the original. Keep in mind that some of the words in the English pronunciation poem are rare or antiquated. That means not in common use anymore, so it's okay if you don't understand them. The poem was written by Gerard Nolst-Trenete in 1922, and the title of the poem is The Chaos. Ready? Here goes. Dearest creature in creation, study English pronunciation. I will teach you in my verse sounds like corpse, core, horse, and worse. I will keep you Susie busy.  Tear in eye, your dress will tear, so shall I, oh hear my prayer. Just compare heart, beard, and herd, dyes and diet, Lord and word, sword and sword, retain and Britain, mind the latter how it's written. Now surely I will not plague you with such words as plaque and ague. But be careful how you speak, say break and stake, but bleak and streak, cloven, oven, how, and lo, script, receipt, show, poem, and toe.

So now let's go back to the case Here's our axial and we now know something bad happened. We've got blood in the joint We already know we've got a fracture Something violent happened during the pivot shift There's a lot more information on here. We can tell what's medium and what's lateral by looking at the patella There's the medial facet The cartilage is a little bit fatter. It's usually a little shorter than the lateral facet So this would be lateral. This would be medial and we get a get a quick glance at the MCL We get a quick glance at some of the lateral collaterals. That's not the story today. The story is the menisci So let's have a look at the menisci coronally first thing you ought to notice is The lateral meniscus is too small I mean normally the medial meniscus is bigger than the lateral meniscus Or it's at least as visible We have a nice triangle on the medial side. We can see the meniscus root. We could even see the root attachment right there And it's lining up very nicely with the edge of the femur and the tibia There is one of the attachments of the meniscus. Let's blow it up a little bit. Here's another attachment of the meniscus The so-called coronary ligament attachment, but on this side We already know that in this relatively young person who's had a violent pivot shift that there's a meniscal problem We're missing our triangle. So now we have to define the problem and as I'm defining it I I recognize that there is another fracture in the femoral terminal sulcus again illustrating the violence of whatever happened We know that the ACL is going to be gone with this constellation of fractures. That's not why we're here There's there's less than a 7% chance the ACL could still be intact But I am interested in where did the meniscus go? Because this is about menisci Did it go in? It's like belly buttons. Is it an innie or an outie and I can't find it in I Can't find a piece that got chopped off and went in I'm looking really hard. In fact, I'm looking at that root We have a nice clean root meniscus and root attachment, but over here not so much Where is it? Oh? There's a root injury. All right the root ligament chop chop The relationship of the meniscus to the root chop chop We have we have a root trauma a root tear Oh, but we're not done yet because we got to find this other piece We already know that this meniscus in this younger person is floating outwards It's not lining up very nicely with the edge of the tibia and the femur because it's no longer properly anchored so in a sense This meniscus is separated from the anchors that keep it in the proper place and you got to remember This person is lying on their back They're not even weight-bearing. There are no hoop stresses.  Here's the anterior horn body junction. There's the anterior horn There is the root attachment that includes a tether to the transverse meniscal ligament of Winslow And a tether to this little round structure here called the ligament of mucosum. Don't worry about that Let's go backwards now. We're missing the body Keep going backwards and our posterior horn is way too small. So let's look at the sagittal and Here's our sagittal Let's work our way in from the body Here's the body of the meniscus all the way out to the periphery and the back of the body Should be tethered to the popliteus tether. Let's look at it What do we mean by tethered? I mean it should be attached. There should be an attachment High and low a superior fascicle attachment and an inferior fascicle attachment Let's draw it for you Because this is the other part of the story We've already established That the media meniscus has those short stubby little attachments that go all the way around You can see them a little better in the mid coronal plane as the menisco femoral ligament. I'll draw them For the medial side We're gonna have a menisco femoral ligament and I showed you the coronary ligament earlier in the back They're really short so we don't see them But now I'm gonna get a little bit thicker here not too thick And I'm going to show you what the lateral meniscus attach Lato meniscus attachments look like you don't see those as well coronally, but you see them really well sagittally so Here's the Lato meniscus and It has an upper fascicle and a lower fascicle And those fascicles are very important tethers if you lose one the meniscus can actually Twist on itself and that can be a cause of locking just one of these gone If they're both gone Then the meniscus can start to displace or float So we should have an upper one we do although it looks a little lax right there And we should have a lower one that goes straight on back and perforates through the popliteus tendon We don't I'm gonna race it so you can see it a little better And I'm gonna blow it up so you can see it a little better. Let's blow it up So that should go right on through as a straight line. Here's the other piece of it right there. It's Missing in action. It's still missing in action. In fact, they're both missing in action There should be one going high and one going low To make matters more complicated We have an upper fascicle and a lower fascicle But we also have a group that's on the outside a lateral upper and lower group and A medial more central upper and lower group and they look a little bit different as you go from the center to the periphery But that will be a story for another day. That's kind of getting into master level discussion Right now. We're in pretty advanced discussion, but not quite master level yet But this patient has a true menisco capsular attachment. We are missing the lower attachment. We are missing the upper attachment and We're also in a violent pivot shift situation Let's go over to the medial side and see what that capsule looks like for a moment We said that when you have a violent pivot shift you get bleeding in the capsule. There it is Too thick, but it's not a separation on the medial side It's a sprain. It's bleeding. It's an injury, but on the lateral side We've got ligaments that have ruptured a meniscus that has displaced Outward because it's no longer tethered and just to be complete here is the awful Consequences of this pivot shift the ACL is gone. The PCL is swollen here is our blood fluid level and the tibia is displaced anteriorly relative to the femur both laterally and Medially as a side of ACL deficiency so-called passive anterior tibial translation so in summary you've learned about two very important types of Vertically oriented tears well not so bad the vertical longitudinal one that could be bad the radial tear you've learned how to measure length and depth of These tears and you've also learned to a degree. We're not complete yet The menisco-capsular attachments and what can happen to them and the sequela when you have a big-time rupture The meniscus being displaced and floating out of the joint and no longer providing the proper support. Thank you


The challenge of the Yukon. The Wonder Dog King, swiftest and strongest of the Shkomo lead dogs, blazes a trail through storm and snow for Sergeant Preston, as he meets the challenge of the Yukon. Sergeant Preston was typical of the small band of northwest-mounted police who preserved law and order in the new northwest country, where the greed for wealth and power led frequent violence and bloodshed. But in spite of the odds against them, Sergeant Preston and his Wonder Dog King met that challenge, and justice ruled triumphant. Old Andy Saunders owned the richest claim in the Yukon, but years of hardship before he struck it rich had etched deep lines in his leathery face. Those lines, however, were softened by happiness as he sat at the corner table in the Gold Circle Cafe. Happiness also lighted the face of the woman with Andy. The middle-aged look of discouragement and disillusionment was gone. Rita, the cafe entertainer, looked almost as young as she had when she first came to the Yukon. Ten years ago. And this is the first real moment of happiness I've known. Oh, Andy, you don't really mean what you said. I never meant anything more.  A real home. Security.  You could go back to the States and have almost anything you wanted. I aim to stay here among my own kind of people, Rita. And you're my kind. If you don't mind the difference in age... Oh, there really isn't so much difference. I ain't quite as old as I look. And I'm... Well, maybe I'm older than I look. Makeup helps you know. You won't need no makeup if you marry me. Now, I'd like you with it or without it. Now, wouldn't you say yes? Yes, Andy. I'd be mighty proud to be your wife. Good. Now, let's tell the boys. Hey, everybody! I got an announcement to make. I'm buying drinks for the house. Rita and I are announcing our engagement. And there you go. And, folks, he don't know it yet. He becomes my best man. My old friend Sergeant President. I think you heard the news. Andy's getting married. Can you beat it? Andy, what's this all about? Rita's just promised to marry me, President. And I want you for best man. Well, congratulations, Andy. And I'd have King, too. But I don't know just where he'd fit in in a wedding ceremony. Look at him. He's your approves of my choice. He likes you, Rita. King and I are old friends, aren't we, boys? There aren't many people who can say that, either. King's very choosy about his friends. You can sit right here at our table. I'm buying drinks for the house. I'll be right back. Thanks, Andy. Come on, boys, order anything you want. Bet I know what you're thinking. What? What do you mean? You're thinking I'm marrying him for his money. And I'll ditch him as soon as I get some of it. Well, you're wrong. Why, Rita, I wasn't thinking any such thing. That's what they all think. But they'll be fooled. I've always liked Andy. And, well, we'll be happy together. Well, of course you will. Andy's one of the finest men I know. He's too good for me. I know that. But he's giving me a chance to be respectable and happy. I won't ever let him down. Rita, you'd never let anybody down. Now, stop worrying about what people think. And, by the way, how's that young brother of yours? Well, I finally got enough money together to send him to school in Seattle. That's fine. The Yukon isn't the place for a boy his age. He was getting into bad company. I guess you know that. Well, everybody seems to be having a good time. Andy, I've never seen anybody look happier than you do. And I am happy, Sergeant. I got a lot to be happy about. Now, Rita, why don't you get your guitar and we'll have some music. Sure, Andy. I'll be right back. Well, Preston, I'm a lucky man. Yes, Andy, I really think you are. Rita will be a good wife. And I'm going to give her everything she ever wanted. Now, when you left the table, she was worrying a little. Worrying? About what? Oh, she was afraid we'd all think that she was marrying you just for your money. Maybe money does have something to do with it. No sourdough like me. I don't agree with you, Andy. I have an idea that Rita's thinking more about what she can give you and what she'll get from you. Well, maybe. I'm sorry she's worried about it, though. Kind of spores things for her. Well, here's the guitar. What do you have, Andy? Just a second, Rita. Attention, everybody! Quiet! Quiet now! I want y'all to be back here tomorrow night.  I'm giving my bride to be her weight in gold! Rita's heart sang as she entered her cabin after the weighing had taken place. $30,000. Now, she could marry Andy for himself and not for his money. Suddenly, there was a knock on her door. Who is it? I got a message for you. I guess you don't recognize me with this beard, do you? I heard you were in this town. I came about to your brother. My brother. Now I know you, your Fred Pierce. Come in. Why did you come to see me about my brother? He's in trouble. He isn't in trouble. I sent him away to school. Have you heard from him since he got there? There hasn't been time. I expect a letter from him any day now. You won't get one. What do you mean? He didn't go off to school. He went with me instead. You mean you stopped him? Why you... Oh, I know you never approved of me. You always try to keep him away from me. Anyway, he's in trouble. Bad trouble. Your baby brother killed a man. Oh, no. Also, he got shot up a little himself. Oh, terrible. Where is he? He's with some Indians, I know. I'm the only white man who knows where he is. The law is looking for him. I'll tell Andy. He'll help me. You won't tell him no one. Or I ain't telling him where to find him. But what can I do? I saw that little goldway in act at the cafe tonight.  With that money, you could get him out of the country. I get the gold and we'll leave tonight. You mean without telling Andy? Why, if I do that, he'll think... Well, you can take your choice. Stay here and marry that prospector. Or come with me now and keep your brother from hanging. I heard about Rita running off with all that money. Yeah, they say she went off in the middle of the night with that big guy with the black beard. Well, Andy should have bought better to give her all that gold. Crazy old coot. I think Andy will chase after his girl. Ah, he's got a little pride. Anyway, it's her gold. He'd give it to her, didn't he?  Rita sure has made a laugh and stalk out of me. I can't believe it, Andy. It isn't like Rita. She sure fooled all of us. I guess I'll just have to call her the bad gamble, that's all. A girl who used all her money to send a kid brother to school just doesn't make sense. Postmaster gave me a letter for her this morning. Must be from a brother that's postmarked Seattle. He said she was anxious to get it. She hadn't heard from him since he left. Andy, Rita may be in trouble. She just isn't the kind of person to do anything like this. Or even King liked her and he'd take food from her. He saw them wrong about people. Well, I sure trusted her. The gamble, $30,000 on her, didn't I? Andy, will you go with me and try and find her? I couldn't do that. Everybody'd laugh at me. No one will know about it. No. No, I couldn't do it, Preston. There's something funny about it all. I'm going to find out what's happened to her. Andy, if this is something Rita couldn't avoid, she'd like to know you trusted her. Why don't you come with me? All right, Sergeant, I'll go. But please don't tell the gang. King, Preston's great lead dog, picked up Rita's trail easily. It was still fresh through a preceding night and led off into the wilderness. A storm was rising as Preston and Andy urged the dog team on. On King! On your manamutes! Is a bad storm coming up, Sergeant? We should be catching him soon. Rita can't travel very fast. She won't be able to keep going at all if the storm gets bad. I'll have to camp somewhere until it's over. It's going to be dark soon. You aiming to go on anyway? We won't stop until we catch him. I can't be much farther ahead. This snow's going to be engrossed pretty soon. I'm glad we're getting into the woods. The trees are protected, son. What's King's stopping for? What's the matter, boy? Come on, Andy. He doesn't seem to know which way to go, Sergeant. I see what happened. The trail is split. Look, Andy, the sled went one way and someone went through the trees in the other direction. King seems to want to follow the trail leading through the trees. Hear that? It's a timber wolf. There's a lot of them wolves around here this winter. What do you think we'd better do? The king wants to go that way. Andy, there's a chance that Rita may be off there alone. Alone? Take King and the dog team and follow that trail through the woods. I'll follow the other trail by myself. Send King after me if you don't need him. And they followed King through the woods. The trail zigzagged through the spruce trees. The wind and the howl of the wolves was weird music and the growing darkness. Suddenly, King bounded out. What is it, King? There he is. Looks like a woman lying in the snow. Why, it's Rita. Rita. Oh, Andy. King, thank heaven you came. Now, Rita, don't try to talk. I'll put you on the sled. Let me carry it. Andy, he pierces it. He's gone with the gold. Preston's on his trail, Rita. There you are. I'll wrap you up in these blankets. King, King boy, go after Preston. Fine, Preston, King. Preston plotted to the snow in a growing darkness. He knew he was gaining on the dog team ahead which was slowed down by the heavy snow. Suddenly... Oh, my arm. I've got to get on behind the slug.  Come out with your hands up or I'll be over there and finish it. Oh, so you want to fight it out, eh? With his right arm disabled, Preston was in a desperate spot. Resting his gun on the log, put that hand and keep Pierce off. But if Pierce began to serve him, he knew it would be the end. Darkness was upon them now and each man waited, exchanging shots when they thought they heard movement near them. Suddenly Preston heard a welcome sound. The light running beat of King and he called to him softly as he came nearer. King, King boy, here. Here, fella. Boyhead boy, I didn't know what you had to do. Circle him, fella. Get behind him. Go on, King. Get him. And the log kept Pierce's attention on himself. At each flash of his gun was an answering flash from that of Pierce. Suddenly he heard the sound he was waiting for. Hold him, King. Hold him. Back on the trail, Andy had made camp. In a shelter made of spruce branches, he sat with Rita, a campfire blazed in front of him. Are you comfortable, Rita? Oh, yes. That really helped so much. Andy, you... you do forgive me, don't you? Oh, there ain't nothing to forgive. I'd have done the same thing in your place. If only Preston catches... I don't care about the money, Rita. As long as I know you didn't run out on me. Pierce didn't think anyone would follow us. That's why I left me when I couldn't go on in the storm. When I think how awful it was, that wind and the hull of the wolves... Don't think about it, Rita. If only I'd waited. I'd have had that letter from my brother and I'd known he was safe at school. You're lucky that Lion Pierce just went off and left instead of murdering him. I guess he thought the cold and the wolves would take care of them. Well, listen, that's King. Preston must have caught Pierce. That's a dog team. Hold her! Hey, Preston! And look, Rita. King's bringing in Pierce. I won't run away. That dog is watching you for the rest of the night. Oh, Sergeant, you're hurt. Come over here and let me look at it. King found you, didn't he? Yes, thanks to King, I'm here. And you have your gold. And don't forget, Sergeant, thanks to King, I have a wife. Yes, fellow, the credit's all yours. And the case is closed.

Like I said check out that insurance We'll get these right out to you


Last night I was sitting there thinking and I was thinking about Tati Westbrook and I was wondering did she ever think in a million years when she posted her video about James Charles did she ever think that this story would blow up to this magnitude and James Charles would be getting the hate that he's currently getting. What is up everybody this is Chris from the Rewired Soul where we talk about the problem but focus on the solution and if you're new to my channel what I like to do is take a look at the youtube community the drama and everything that's going on and try to take this mess and turn it into a message because what good is watching all these videos on youtube if we're not taking the information and trying to see how we can apply it to our everyday lives so if you're into that stuff make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell so yeah like I mentioned in the intro of this video I was wondering like did Tati Westbrook ever think this was gonna happen ever in a billion years like freaking PewDiePie the largest creator on the platform made a video talking about this James Charles is breaking records for losing the most subscribers and I don't think she she was like Tati Westbrook seems like a sweet sweet sweet woman and like I mentioned in like my first video on this situation I believe she just did this because she just felt like she needed to get away from James for her own mental and emotional well-being and she felt like this was the best way to do it but yesterday she actually was vocal about this and she sent this tweet out there won't be a video tomorrow my heart is still too heavy I feel like I need to remind you that we can hold truth and inspire change without grabbing on to hate honor your blessings don't abuse them celebrating pain will only bring it to your door love you guys see you soon and yeah preach girl preach I'm not into the you know I'm not subscribed to like makeup channels but like what a what an awesome woman all right like does she handle this in the best way I personally don't think so like again like this blew up way way way out of proportion but I'm glad that she's speaking up and trying to get people to chill out like the magnitude of this thing is absolutely crazy but the most serious conversation going on and it might be because of the way that Tati Westbrook worded it about James Charles is this predatory behavior so I want to do this for this video okay like I just want you to just for a minute just just play along with me and try to put yourself in James Charles shoes and just try to understand what he's going through so imagine that you're a 19 year old gay man you're famous and you're richer than you could have ever imagined all right now something that comes along with this fame and being rich is that anybody that you're attracted to who shows you some attention you have to wonder somewhere in your mind you have to wonder is this person actually attracted to me or are they trying to come at my fame and my money so you're this 19 year old rich gay man who has a lot of fame and you flirt with a waiter at a restaurant all right he ends up messaging you he approaches you and through a conversation you find out that this kid is also bi curious and he wants to hang out he comes over to your hotel room and you to make out for an hour all right this kid leaves you have feelings for him and he ends up messaging you back and saying you know what never mind I'm straight so then you also have this attractive Instagram model who is also talking to you and he identifies as straight but he also tells you that he's bi curious you guys flirt with each other you mess around a little bit you bring this kid out to Coachella even though he says he's still on the fence and not really sure then at Coachella this kid is showing you more affection you guys cuddle you guys kiss and everything like that and then after this whole situation he tells you that he also just realized that he identifies as straight now this is two separate instances where people approached you and you hung out with them they consented to the the hooking up the making out whatever it was they consented to this then they told you that they were straight all right now I really want you to think about this for a second just really think about this for a second I don't know how old you are watching this video but just imagine just imagine every hookup or breakup that you've ever had being blasted on the internet to millions of people the DMs people coming out saying that you're a bad kisser right like think about that for just a second like I was trying to think about this and the embarrassment that I would go through in that situation and if you and every if every hookup or relationship you've ever had has just been the cleanest thing ever then you go girl you go but just put yourself in James Charles shoes for just a minute all right now don't get me wrong was James Charles a dick to talk to Westbrook yes but is James Charles a predator I don't think there's enough evidence out there to say so all right the two men who have come forward have shared their stories about how all of this was consensual and James Charles was hurt by this situation like I was just watching a video the other day from another big youtuber about their breakup you know what I mean and like this is this is what I am trying to get out there is like a lot of people want this fame and fortune they want to be a rich you know big youtuber and everything like that but just like put yourself in these people's shoes for just a second and now James Charles is being targeted by cancel culture like and not and like cancel culture is much worse than those two words can even summarize all right because talk to Westbrook was making a video about how she tried to mentor James and he's kind of a selfish dick right and now people are calling him a predator they're accusing him of things that are so terrible and awful they can put somebody in jail because that is what cancel culture does they take something small and then it explodes and people want to ruin they want to ruin somebody's entire life and entire career like do you guys remember do you guys remember when Shane Dawson was accused of being a pedophile like so many people came out and had that man's back you know why because getting labeled as a pedophile is something that does not go away all right that is something that was was there was a possibility that that label could have stuck to Shane Dawson for the rest of his life because of the allegations and now people are doing the exact same thing to James Charles now what I want you to think about as well is that James Charles his mentor was Jeffrey star one of his mentors was Jeffrey star I don't know if you've ever met Jeffrey stars boyfriend Nate but Nate was a man who identified as straight until Jeffrey star came along all right is it possible is it possible that James Charles seeing Jeffrey stars relationship with Nate gave him a little bit of hope that maybe he could be attracted to straight men and something would come from it is that a possibility all right like one of the reasons I'm bringing this up is because a very close friend of mine is a gay man he is a gay man who is married now the man that he is married to was previously married to a woman and they had children together until that man realized that he was gay now these two are married and and like it's just something that can happen and this I'm I try to I try to see the glasses half full and in this situation I'm glad that a conversation is being had about sexual orientation sexual preferences and all of that but like people are looking at this in such a black and white situation and it's not like the two people the two credible stories that have actually come out are from men who are bi curious and like if you can't understand why James Charles was hurt by that like I don't know what to tell you but my final opinion on that aspect of the whole situation is like many of us I just think James Charles is a kid who had a broken picker or has a broken picker he keeps going after the wrong type of men now is it possible that he'll find a straight man that was like kind of on the down low and realizes that he's gay and they get married and it's happily ever after possibly but in the coming years James Charles might also realize that he needs to just start finding other gay men all right but anyways anyways I hope this brought another perspective to you to think about this situation and to think about the the strong words that people are using against James Charles during all this mess like talk to Westbrook said like don't celebrate the hate that's going around for this kid all right but anyways that's all I got for this video if you like this video please give it a
