[Assistant] It means Angeal has betrayed us as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The train has been overrun by Wutai troops. Eliminate them and regain control of the train.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Zack, focus. There are no Shinra troops on this train, understood?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Embrace your dreams.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you want to be a hero, you need to have dreams. And honor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Report to Director Lazard. There'll be a briefing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you have any questions about missions in combat, he can help you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's time to head to Wutai. Are you ready?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fort Tamblyn is straight ahead. Let's go. The unit is already standing by.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Incredible. You really don't know. Well, so much for you making first.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The official name is Benora White. The trees bear fruit at random times during the year. Because of that, the townspeople affectionately call them dumb apples.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But even then, I had my honor. The largest Benora white tree grew on a wealthy man's estate. It was rumored that those apples tasted the best.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I never stole from that tree, because the wealthy man's son was my friend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] B unit will set off an explosion. That's our cue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Youth brings about wear, tear, and rust. And that's a real waste.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I can be pretty cheap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Going above and beyond is always the expectation. That's Soldier First Class. Remember that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Contact Sephiroth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey Zach, anything you wanna know? Just ask.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You probably got a handle on it in training, but I sent you a mail explaining the basics. Take a look, okay?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, the materia you were using during training has been taken back. Powerful materia have to be earned. Those are the Soldier Rules.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The various services Shinra provides for civilians, those are what we call missions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To take on missions, you first have to register your information on the mission board.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once registered, you can look up mission information on your handset. I'll show you how to register on the board. Come on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so in this lesson we're gonna learn all about the HTML void elements such as the horizontal rule and the break element.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What exactly are void elements? Well, we've seen what non-void elements are, such as the paragraph element or the heading elements, and they're not void because they have content right here in between.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A void element is an element where you are forbidden from putting any content inside the tag. And in fact, the tag itself even looks very different. So this is a horizontal rule element.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you can see that it starts out with an angle bracket, ends with an angle bracket, but then right here, there is this forward slash just before the end of the tag.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because here in the closing tag, that forward slash is just after the opening angle bracket. It's right here in front of the letter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whereas in the void elements, the forward slash is actually just before the end of the tag. And normally by convention, you'll see a little space here as well between the tag name and also that forward slash.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is just something to be really careful about when you're creating these void elements. Make sure that you've got the forward slash slashing in the right direction, so this way, and not a backslash like this. So when it points to the right, then it's a forward slash.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when it points backwards, then it's a backslash.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well here we've got our previous two paragraphs and right in between the two paragraphs I've added a horizontal rule which will hopefully help us divide the content to show that this part is not related to this part and we've got some sort of separation in between.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When we run this code or when we view it in a web browser, this is what you would see. You would see the first paragraph, the second paragraph, and then you would see this horizontal rule or basically a horizontal line where the HR element would be in that document.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now the horizontal rule is not the only void element. Another common one you'll see is the break element and it looks like this. Now similarly, again, we've got the name of the tag.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then we've got that forward slash and then we basically end.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The tag. So there is no opening tag, there is no closing tag, there is only a single tag that looks like this and the name of the tag goes right before the forward slash. Now how does the break element work?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it's really useful when you have things where you need to separate things onto separate lines in order to have the correct meaning. For example, if you have poems, they are in fact meant to be in the same paragraph,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But they should really each be on different lines in order to make the rhyming work or in order to make the structure of the poem correct. So this is a poem from one of my favourite poets, uhm, William Blake.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And in order for it to work, we can't have it all run in one line, even if it's in the same paragraph.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If we had this code right here, even though yes, it is all in the same paragraph, it is all related to each other and this does make sense, but you don't look at poetry like this. It doesn't really work. We don't know where we're supposed to breathe and how we're supposed to read out the poem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So instead we can add our break elements that we just learnt about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our void element doesn't have any content in it, but it just shows where the breaks in this paragraph has to go in order for this poem to look right. And when this HTML document is rendered, this is what you'll see. A perfect layout for a poem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To see a world in a grain of sand and heaven in a war flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hand and eternity in an hour.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's all beautifully formatted thanks to each of our break elements at the end of each line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So now it's your turn to try an exercise using these void elements. So go ahead and download the starting files for this exercise from the course resources for this lesson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when you've extracted it and opened it up, this is what you should see in the index.html.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've got the name of our poet, William Blake, and this is apparently his real address that he lived at at some point in life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then we've got two paragraphs from Wikipedia, which briefly describes the poet. And I want you to use everything you've learned so far in order to format this HTML document so that it will look like the goal that I've got right here for you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As you can see, this top level, the name of our poet is going to be rendered as an H1.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because that is the most important thing about this particular webpage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then we've got the address of the poet, which is rendered as a paragraph, but notice that addresses, even though they are a single paragraph, they again need to be broken up into separate lines using our break element. And then finally, we've got a horizontal rule.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that separates the address and the name of the author from the little bit of description of this author, which should sit in two separate paragraphs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now I want you to pause the video and edit the index.html so you end up with this goal PNG when you preview this website into this jumbled block of text that we have at the moment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pause the video now and give this challenge a go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so hopefully you've given it a go and everything worked out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I'm gonna run through the solution. So first we said we were gonna have an H1 for


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His name, and then we're going to have a paragraph tag that encloses the address.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now in order to have that address on different lines, we're going to add our break element to the end of each line. And remember our break element is a self closing tag, so we're going to create it like so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now I'm going to go ahead and simply copy and paste it to the end of each line. And you can see how nicely our address is now formatted. And finally, we wanted these two paragraphs, um, at the end to be separated. So I'm going to go ahead and simply do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've achieved our goal output. We've got our h1, our address separated. And the only thing we need to do is to add that horizontal rule between the address and the two paragraphs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's go ahead and add the other void element that we learned about. And now we've completed the challenge and you can check yourself against the solution to make sure that everything that you did looks exactly the same.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now a neat trick I like to use is to simply copy the solution


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And go to diffchecker.com, paste in the solution code and then paste your code and then go ahead and click find difference.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In our version, there is a space after the word Blake and the closing tag


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which in terms of HTML will not make any difference.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But had I instead maybe written the H1 incorrectly and I didn't write the H for the closing tag, then you can see our output looks completely different and we're looking through all of this text. We don't know why it's happened. So we go ahead and copy it and then diff it to the solution.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it should highlight the fact that that is incorrect. And we should now be alerted to check the difference. That's one tip that I have for you today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And let me just go back to our index or html, fix this bug, and we should now be ready to go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now in terms of dos and don'ts with void elements, sometimes you see people doing is they add a break tag to add a new line instead of creating a separate paragraph element.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now this is not what you want to do because this is not very good for accessibility, which means it'll make it harder for blind users with screen readers to understand the content on your website.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I recommend you always create new paragraph elements when you have new paragraphs and use the break element.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Only when there is some sort of reason why you would want to separate the different lines in a single paragraph, but it still is a single paragraph such as in the case of a poem or in the case of an address that we covered in this lesson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now the final thing to mention is that sometimes when you look at the horizontal rule element or the break element,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You might see it represented without this final closing tag. You might see people simply write this and this is perfectly valid HTML. So you could in fact have a horizontal rule that looks like this. You could have a break element that looks like this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Instead of the one with the forward slash at the end,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And these are both valid options. You could go for this or you go for this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As of HTML5, the latest version of HTML, what it's starting to do is it's starting to ignore this forward slash at the end. So it doesn't even look at it. It sees the first part and already knows that a break is a void element and a horizontal rule is a void element. So it doesn't actually need to keep reading.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I recommend to write your code with this


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A closing tag so that you don't end up being confused and you can identify the void elements and the non void elements easily and distinguish them from each other. So that's just a quick tip.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And something to alert you to when you see it written like this on the internet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Both versions are valid. You can pick and choose, but I recommend going with this version.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The sky is closer in the city above, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kinda scary, but the flowers might like it, maybe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was so, I don't know, sad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, that flower wagon, let's do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, but I'm still a little scared.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That grunt there, he got air sick. Man, as if we don't have enough problems already.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What are you up to exactly?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actually, I'm a carpenter by trade. I live in the Sector 7 slums.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would be willing to share some of my wood with you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, there's one condition. Currently, I'm building a, uh, a bar in the Sector 7 slums.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want you to come up with a name for the place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, once the name is decided, I can build a mental image. And then, I can work off of that image.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good food, good drink, and good service to boot. As if you were living above the plate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And down in the basement, there will be a secret room that no one knows about. The HQ for an anti-Shinra group, yes. A perfect bar for the slums indeed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I let my imagination run wild. That's how much I like the name. Yes, yes, you've done well. Hmph. Very good. I owe you. So, as promised, I will share my wood with you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The training room is currently being used for top secret research. Hence, entry is strictly prohibited. It is off limits, even for you, Mr. Soldier.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I, being the coward that I am, cannot muster the courage to enforce this prohibition.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thus, whether to enter or not will be up to you and your conscience.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, Sephiroth? Hollander.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You want to do something to me, eh?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then, who will stop Genesis and Angeal's degradation?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They only grow here. Although, I planted some outside my house too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nickar full of flowers. Wallet full of money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Main street's over... that way. There's lots of people. And, you can go above.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course. Lots of people live here. Hey, inside that gate, there's a market. There's so many great shops there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We don't need this guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The sky... frightens me. Like it's sucking me in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not yet, but give me time, please?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, no. But, give me more time. I'll find him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, let's go look. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If Bruno needed money, he should still be around here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't do it again. Okay. Okay. Good. Now we're friends again. Zach, you agree?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Midgar full of flowers and wallet full of money. Aerith, for real? Yea, for real. That's why if you're in trouble, we can help you. Alright, I'll come talk to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, Zach, did you mean it? Selling the flowers?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, not a boyfriend. I just met him today. Oh, wait, could we take a look?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you, Zach. I'll treasure this. Yeah. Hey, do you still have time?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Heroes to children. Protectors of the peace. But, they're not normal. They get some kind of special surgery. Don't they?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those soldier people are kind of... weird.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they're... scary. They fight. And they love it.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hi guys, welcome to another lesson on CSS. In this lesson, we're going to be talking about CSS selectors. And this is going to help us choose where to apply our CSS.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've seen previously that we can create CSS rules by simply specifying two things. One is the property we want to change.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And after a colon, we get to specify the value to change that property too. In this case, what we're saying is we want to change the text color into a blue color.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now we've come across some of these rules already and I'll be showing you in a later lesson in the next section how to find out more about these rules.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But more importantly in this lesson, what I want to talk about is the part outside of these rules. It's the part that comes right here. And this is known as a CSS selector.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What is a CSS selector? Well, it's the part that selects the HTML in order to apply whichever rules go in between these curly braces.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How do we know which part of our HTML file to make the text color blue? Well, we look at this part and we can see we're targeting the H1.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now this style of selector is one of the simplest CSS selectors. It's called an element selector. And all it does is it selects a particular HTML tag. So in this case, it's targeting all H1s.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If your HTML is any good, you should only have a single H1.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it'll be different for other tags. If you had anchor tags or if you had paragraph tags or H2s or any of the other HTML tags, then when you select each of these in your CSS, it means apply to all elements that have that particular tag. Let's see this in action.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here I've got two files. One is the index.html and another is our stylesheet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And inside our index.HTML, we've just got three H2s, red, green, and blue. And when displayed or run, they'll look like this, three headings. Now, if we go ahead and add a little bit of CSS,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And target our H2 element. In this case, we're using an element selector, which is simply the name of the tag. And then after the curly braces, we can define whichever CSS rules we want. In this case, turning the color of the text red.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If we go ahead and run this code, I want you to imagine what you expect to happen. Which of these texts will turn red?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's go and run the code and once this change is incorporated, this is what we see. Red, green, and blue all turn red because they are all H2s. And this element selector here selects all of the H2s, turning them red. So pretty simple so far.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now let's look at another type of selector, a class selector. This requires a special symbol, which is the dot. And then after that dot, immediately with no spaces right here,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then you have the name of the class. So this is the actual name of the class that we're selecting. In this case, I've called it red-heading.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then after the curly braces, again, we have the same CSS rule to apply, change the text color to red.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, what is a class? Well, a class is something that we can add as an attribute to any HTML element.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this attribute is kind of like saying, well, let's group these particular elements into a class. So it's used for grouping elements in your HTML file to apply the same CSS rule to all of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So in this case, we've only got one h2 that has a class and the class is set to red text.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I target the class, which remember requires the dot, and then the name of the class, which is this. And it has to be spelled exactly the same. These two cannot have any differences. So you can't have, for example, a capital R or a capital T. This will not work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Instead, what we have is our class selector and our CSS rule.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What do you expect will happen when the code is run in the browser, when this CSS gets applied? Well, it'll look like this. It selects the only element that has that class and turns the text color red.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now what if we had multiple elements with the same class? So here you can see we've actually got two different types of HTML elements. One is an H2 and another is a paragraph element.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even though these two are completely different elements, we can tag them using the same class. We're saying the H2 should have the class of red text as should the paragraph. Now, if we write our CSS,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we select again, all the classes that have red text.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then what do you think will happen? Well, in this case, it doesn't matter if it's an H2 or if it's a paragraph, as long as they've got that class, they've been converted into red text and the style has been applied to these two HTML elements.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As you can see, the class selector is really versatile. It allows you to group different parts of your HTML file into having the same styling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this can be really, really useful on multi-page websites with lots of different elements. And you don't just want to select a particular type of HTML element.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the ID selector, it has its own special symbol, which is a pound sign or a hashtag.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you put that pound sign and again, no spaces in between the pound sign and the actual name of the ID. And this selects all elements with a particular ID attribute.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is what an ID attribute looks like. It's simply the words ID and then after the equal sign, we can give it a particular ID.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it works similarly to the class selector because if I go ahead and select this ID of main and I apply these CSS changes, then you can see it will add the styling and apply it to the only element that has that ID.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So then what is the difference between the ID and the class selector? Well, the class selector can be applied to many elements.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whereas the ID should be only applied to one element in a single HTML file. In a single HTML file, like our index.html, there should only be one ID of this particular name, main. It should be completely unique.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this is the difference. If you had, say, three H2s, you can't select all of them using the element selector, like this, because that would select all of the H2s.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Instead, you apply the ID to the unique element that you want to apply your style to and it selects it in the HTML file.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Again, remember IDs are unique, only one element per file and classes you can put on as many elements as you like to group them together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Another way that you can select parts of your HTML is using the attribute selector.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we know that we can create a HTML tag and add as many attributes as we like. So we had attributes such as ID, or uhm, class, or, uh, draggable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or source for the images or href for the anchor tags or alt for the images and a whole bunch more that we'll get to see in the future as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now we can select these elements that have particular attributes or particular attributes values by using this notation. Notice the first part here is the HTML element.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That you want to select and then using a set of square brackets, these ones right here, then inside we can include the attribute that you want to select.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What this entire selector says is select all paragraph elements with the attribute draggable and then apply this CSS style to it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What does this look like in HTML code? Well, here we've got three paragraph tags, but only one of them has the attribute draggable set to true.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If we go ahead and apply the CSS style where we select the paragraph element,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With the draggable attribute and give it this CSS style, then when this CSS is applied to our HTML, this is what will happen. It will find the unique paragraph tag with that particular attribute.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now you can go one step further with attribute selectors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can actually select the value of the attribute that you want to apply your CSS to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So in this case, you can see we've got all three paragraphs with the same attribute. All the draggable attributes are set, but they're set to different values. So the first one is set to true and the other two are set to false.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So now we can actually write our CSS like this. We can select all the paragraph elements, which has an attribute of draggable set and equal to false.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what this selector is going to do, all of this is it's going to look inside our file and it's going to find these two paragraph elements in order to select and apply the CSS.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When this CSS is applied instead of the first one, which previously was selected, we actually have the other two selected and turned red.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is again a really versatile way of applying CSS, but as you can see, it selects on different things than what we've seen before, the element, the ID, or the class selectors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The final selector I want to talk about is the universal selector. And it's really simple. It's just an asterix. And after the asterix, you have your CSS rules. But what this means is it means select all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when you apply this, it doesn't matter what class you've got, what ID, what attributes set, which different elements. If you select all, it's going to apply the style to everything where the style sheet is active. And this is probably one of the simplest selectors to understand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So now that we've seen all the different ways that we can apply our CSS to different parts of the HTML using selectors, let's try an exercise where we experiment hands on and see if you've understood all the concepts in this lesson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, once you've downloaded and extracted the starting files and have it open in VS code, then I want you to go into the index.html file.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And here you'll notice a couple of things. Firstly, we've already set up the style sheet for you. So we've got an external style sheet set up using a link and it's pointing to this file right here, the style.css.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The part that we want you to do is to revise what you've learned about CSS selectors. And I've set up five to-dos for you and I want you to do them in order. So start from one and then go to two and continue downwards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What this is going to involve is for you to write actual CSS code. I don't want you to actually touch anything inside the index.html.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I don't want you to change any of the HTML with the classes or values or IDs once you leave it exactly as it is. And instead, your job is to write the selectors in the style.css.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Notice when you open up the style.css, there's a little bit of CSS already here for you and I want you to leave this alone. Don't touch it, don't change it. It's important so that the final styling looks right when we haven't covered all of the different CSS styling rules.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the next section, we're going to be talking about all of this in a lot more detail, where to find out about different rules and how to use them. But for now, I want you to ignore this part and write your CSS below.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Similarly, I'm not expecting you to know which CSS rules to use because I'll provide all the rules for you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Into do one, I want you to change the text color to red. Into do two, I want you to change the font size or change the text align. And this is all going to be provided for you completely formatted. So it's got the property, the colon and the value I want you to set it to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now the part that you need to think about and where your challenge comes in is how to select the correct parts. So how to select all the paragraph, for example, or how to select parts with a class of this or an ID of this. So that is the challenge. And this is what you need to do in this exercise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if you take a look at the preview right now, it's very plain, all black, no styling at all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if you take a look at the goal PNG, you'll see this is what the final outcome will look like. It's gonna be centered. It's gonna have different colors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you can almost even use this website as a revision tool because each of the bullet points are linked to a particular style of CSS selection.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This hopefully will be quite a fun challenge for you. And if you get stuck, be sure to rewind a little bit in the video to see how to do the different things as seen in the previous examples. And I want you to really give it a good go before you continue and watch the solution. Pause the video now, give this a go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so the first thing we're going to do is we're going to pull up our preview to make sure we are doing the right things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And to begin, the first to do is to set the CSS for all paragraph tags to this color. Now, remember I said we're not writing any code or changing anything in the HTML side. We're doing it all in our CSS.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's still really important that we look at what's in our HTML code in order to complete each of the steps of the challenge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The first one's easy. We're going to target all paragraph tags and we're going to apply this CSS style. So let me copy the CSS style, paste it in. And now I've got an error because I haven't selected what this style should be applied to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In this case, we're applying it to all the paragraph elements. So we're using the element selector and all we have to do there is simply add the name of the tag and then apply it. And you can see the first line of our bullet is now red. That's to do number one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's move on to the next to do. So in this one, we want to set the CSS for all the elements with a class of this to this CSS rule. So let me again, copy the CSS rule and then paste it below.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now we're going to use a class selector and select all the elements. So notice how we've got many elements with the same class, even though they're applied to different elements, but we can select across them using the class selector.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The class selector, if you remember, requires the dot and then immediately afterwards we add in the name of the class and then we enclose our CSS rule in between the curly braces again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what this has done is it's applied a larger font size to all of the HTML elements that have that class applied to them, which is all the bullets here, but not the H1 or H2s.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's to do number two done. Next one is to set the CSS for the element with a particular unique ID and the ID is this one. So which one has that ID? It's this particular list element and we're going to set it to have a CSS rule to turn the color green.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With ID names or class names or attribute names, any of that, it's very important that you don't make any spelling errors. What I normally do is I normally just copy it and then paste it in so that I don't actually mistakenly add a capitalized S or something else that I could write incorrectly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So remember the ID selector is a pound sign or a hashtag. And once we enclose our rule inside that selector, you'll see bullet number three turn green because that is the only item and it should be only one item that has the same ID.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now let's move on to to do number four, which is to set the CSS for the li elements that have the value attribute set to four.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And notice now that all of the items in the ordered list, I've set a value attribute and what this does,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you take a look at the MDN web docs for the list item element, is this attribute can indicate the current ordinal value of the list item. When you have a list item inside a ordered list, by default, it starts numbering from one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like so. This is this list item. But because I've got that paragraph tag above and I want to format this so that we have an interesting CSS exercise, I've set the value attribute so that the list starts from two.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is totally valid and I've set it for all of the other items as well so that we continue the list.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In this case, we're going to use the attribute selector to select this value attribute and turn the text blue. Let's paste in the CSS rule.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then remember the way that we use the attribute inspector is we first select the element, in this case list item, and then we add some square brackets and inside the square brackets, we add the attribute that we want to select.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which in this case is called value. And if right now I already close these curly braces, so we select on that attribute.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is going to turn all the list items that have a attribute of value set, which is basically all four of these.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, some of you might've noticed that bullet number three remain green instead of turning blue like the rest of the list elements. Now, if you're curious about why this is, this is to do with something called CSS specificity relating to how specific the rule is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now we're going to be covering this in section seven for our advanced CSS module. So that's something you get to look forward to in the future.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, if we want to set the attribute that we want to select to a particular value, which in this case is the one that's four, then I have to go a little bit further and set this equal to four. And now you can see it's only selecting this fourth bullet and turning it blue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now attribute selectors can be a little bit tricky. So if you didn't understand this at all, be sure to rewind in the video and watch that section of the video again, just to make sure that you fully understand what's going on before you move on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The final to do is the easiest. All we have to do is set all the elements to text align to center.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When we want to select all the elements, we use our universal selector, which is the asterix. And then once we paste in this rule, you'll see now our preview looks exactly the same as what we wanted for our goal. Everything center aligned, there's lots of different styling being applied.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we've now managed to achieve all of the to-dos in our exercise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So hope that made sense and it helped you review all the things we learned in this lesson. Once you're ready, head over to the next lesson where we've got our final project for the section.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Adjectives 1 by L Learning. Here we go. Open. Open. Shut. Shut. Loud. Loud. Quiet. Quiet. Light. Light. Dark.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's try that one more time, no repeat. Here we go! Open. Shut. Loud. Quiet. Light. Dark. Easy. Difficult. New. Old. Light.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. Well, I've calmed down a lot, oh my god.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since we're not being recorded right now, it's gonna be- We are being recorded right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. Hello everyone! My name is Bellshipper Rusape, but everyone just calls me Bell for short because it's much easier to say, and it's less of a mouthful, honestly. So, let's see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like I mainly, I mainly help other voice actors and I'm usually like hired as a script writer for demo reels. But as far as voice acting is concerned, you probably know me from projects such as XOXO Droplets, which I'm in with Michael over here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know right. Grangels, which I'm also in with Michael.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is, oh my god, crazy. The end of the month is near, holy shit. It's almost over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A few other projects called Top Run, Pipe Dreams, Time's Puppet, Salve Don't Sing, and several others, and several others which are really, really fun and I'd love to talk more about that, but then I don't want to be a narcissist right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I've known Michael and Lisa for a few years now. It's kinda crazy. Yeah, I forced Lisa to audition, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeah, and before I stop talking, right, so I am the voice of Freckle in Lackadaisy. Thank you very much for letting me speak.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll defend him when I say I was kind of new when I entered this too. I do feel bad though because this is a series that I feel like I should have been invested in when I was a kid, but I'm surprised I only learned about it recently.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah, waaah, come on, you're playing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If anything, you can take the opportunity to like, animate the whole Ember theme song.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] God, don't sell yourself short like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you're a voice actor and you wanna just kinda like, if you need some tips or probably a good direction to where you can find most casting calls, just over


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I barely got to say any actual lines, but I'm looking forward to actually doing some. Belle, I hope you're ready to scream.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll admit, every time I've been live, I've been half-assing those screams, so I wanted to give you a real one to show you what I'm made of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yea, same, same. You know what, no, no, guys, guys, guys, Michael, there's no shame in saying no, backing out and admitting you're a pussy. It's cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that part was my favorite, just getting the chance. I'm so grateful you guys gave me the chance to pretty much ad-live that moment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, it was at like, it was at this coffee shop that was around the Nebraska Furniture Mart where I live, so it was kind of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love the job, and I love the people there, but the stress really got to me and I just-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Especially on weekends, those are the busiest days, my god. But, I did love the place, and I did love the people there, so, no shade to the place, no shade to the people, overall, I just hope that- Just a stressful job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actually, I'm collecting materials to make a wagon, and I sort of have a favor to ask you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why would you put something so valuable in a thing like this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, I should go. I've been keeping Eric waiting too long.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really? I think it's fine. It's all about the flowers anyway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was given a big task, and I have to leave Midgar for a bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course! And don't worry, I'll be done and back in no time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, they're coming. We just need to have a little more patience.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, hey, you there! Need flowers? Just for you, Tenguila Pop. These are real flowers, mind you. Don't miss out!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, we need to be aggressive. I'll counter with seven guilt, no less.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thanks for everything. I'll be back in Midgar before you know it. I'll see you around. Yeah, see ya.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sephiroth's mother's name is... Jenova?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, Zack of Soldier. First class, mind you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's too dangerous. There's no way I can let you get involved in this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Genova. Interesting. The door is sealed, of course.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Soldier is like a den of monsters. Don't go inside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, do you know Tifa? Sort of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is a symbol of my dreams and honor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a sad painting. And also kind of eerie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, listen, now's not the best time. I'll call you later.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From that day, Sephiroth shut himself inside Shinra Manor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And continue to review documents, like a man possessed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The lights in the basement never went out once.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is my pleasure to introduce to you our commencement speaker this evening. Steve Ballmer has been a friend for the last four or five years and I became a friend of his through his son Sam who today


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just about finished his four years at USC. We're close. We're close.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Couple of interesting things about Steve that you're not going to read on Wikipedia that I think are good to note. One of which is, he was the 30th employee at Microsoft. When he left, there were over 100,000. He's probably, and I think he is, the only person in the history of business to have been a


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] President or CEO of a company with 30 employees and one with over 100,000 and everything in between. Think about that. That's continuity over a 33 year career. It's pretty special. You'll find that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although if the mics go out, if the mics go out, you'll still hear him, okay?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when Steve is finished, I just want to tell you that the other thing that we share in common is our love of family.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Steve's gonna take his family and go to dinner, which is what he should do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So he's not leaving here because he's got to catch a plane or anything else. He's really leaving here to go be with family. And that to me is really, really an important thing. So without further ado, let's give Steve Baumler a great welcome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, Zack. I really like that sword. It's impressive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To get to Shinra Manor, go up the stairs ahead, then go left. I'll show you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The underground passage door was unlocked. Maybe Sephiroth went underground?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The papers next day were full of the Brixton mystery, as they termed it. Each had a long account of the affair, and some had leaders upon it in addition. There was some information in them which was new to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I still retain in my scrapbook numerous clippings and extracts bearing upon the case.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Daily Telegraph remarked that in the history of crime there had seldom been a tragedy which presented stranger features.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The German name of the victim, the absence of all other motive, and the sinister inscription on the wall, all pointed to its perpetration by political refugees and revolutionists.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The socialists had many branches in America, and the deceased had, no doubt, infringed their unwritten laws and been tracked down by them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After alluding eerily to the Wemgericht, Aquatophana, Cabanari, the Marchioness de Brimvilliers, the Darwinian Theory, the Principles of Maltese, and the Ratcliffe Highway Murders, the article concluded by admonishing the Government and advocating a closer watch over foreigners in England.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Standard commented upon the fact that lawless outrages of the sort usually occurred under a liberal administration.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They arose from the unsettling of the minds of the masses, and the consequent weakening of all authority.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The deceased was an American gentleman who had been residing for some weeks in the metropolis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had stayed at the boarding house of Madame Charpentier in Torquay Terrace, Camberwell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was accompanied in his travels by his private secretary, Mr Joseph Stangerson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The two bade adieu to their landlady upon Tuesday the 4th, inst, and departed to Euston Station with the avowed intention of catching the Liverpool Express. They were afterwards seen together upon the platform.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nothing more is known of them until Mr. Drever's body was, as recorded, discovered in an empty house in the Brixton Road, many miles from Euston.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How he came there, or how he met his fate, are questions which are still involved in mystery. Nothing is known of the whereabouts of Stangerson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We are glad to learn that Mr. Lestrade and Mr. Gregson of Scotland Yard are both engaged upon the case, and it is confidentially anticipated that these well-known officers will speedily throw light upon the matter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Daily News observed that there was no doubt as to the crime being a political one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The despotism and hatred of liberalism which animated the Continental Governments had had the effect of driving to our shores a number of men who might have made excellent citizens were they not soured by the recollection of all that they had undergone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Among these men there was a stringent code of honour, any infringement of which was punished by death.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every effort should be made to find the secretary, Stangerson, and to ascertain some particulars of the habits of the deceased.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A great step had been gained by the discovery of the address of the house at which he had boarded, a result which was entirely due to the acuteness and energy of Mr. Gregson of Scotland Yard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sherlock Holmes and I read these notices over together at breakfast, and they appeared to afford him considerable amusement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I told you that whatever happened Lestrade and Gregson would be sure to score. That depends on how it turns out. Oh, bless you, it doesn't matter in the least.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If the man is caught it will be on account of their exertions. If he escapes it will be in spite of their exertions. It's heads I win and tails you lose. Whatever they do they will have followers. And so trouves toujours un plusso qui l'admire."


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For at this moment there came the pattering of many steps in the hall, and on the stairs, accompanied by audible expressions of disgust upon the part of our landlady.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's the Baker Street Division of the Detective Police Force," said my companion gravely, and as he spoke there rushed into the room half a dozen of the dirtiest and most ragged street Arabs that ever I clapped eyes on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tension!" cried Holmes in a sharp tone, and the six dirty little scoundrels stood in a line like so many disreputable statuettes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In future you shall send up Wiggins alone to report, and the rest of you must wait in the street. Have you found it, Wiggins?"


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hardly expected you would. You must keep on until you do. Here are your wages." He handed each of them a shilling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, off you go, and come back with a better report next time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He waved his hand, and they scampered away downstairs like so many rats, and we heard their shrill voices next moment in the street.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's more work to be got out of one of those little beggars than out of a dozen of the force," Holmes remarked. The mere sight of an official-looking person seals men's lips. These youngsters, however, go everywhere and hear everything. They are as sharp as needles, too. All they want is organization.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is it on this Brixton case that you are employing them?" I asked. Yes. There is a point which I wish to ascertain. It is merely a matter of time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're going to hear some news now, with a vengeance. Here is Gregson coming down the road, with Beatitude written upon every feature of his face. Bound for us, I know. Yes, he is stopping. There he is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was a violent peal at the bell, and in a few seconds the fair-haired detective came up the stairs three steps at a time and burst into our sitting-room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My dear fellow, he cried, wringing home's unresponsive hand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Congratulate me, I have made the whole thing as clear as day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A shade of anxiety seemed to me to cross my companion's expressive face.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you mean that you are on the right track?" he asked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right track. Why sir, we have the man under lock and key.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And his name is Arthur Charpentier, sub-lieutenant in Her Majesty's Navy," cried Gregson pompously, rubbing his fat hands and inflating his chest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sherlock Holmes gave a sigh of relief and relaxed into a smile.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Take a seat, and try one of these cigars," he said. We are anxious to know how you managed it. Will you have some whiskey and water?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't mind if I do," the detective answered. The tremendous exertions which I have gone through during the last day or two have worn me out. Not so much bodily exertion, you understand, as a strain upon the mind. You will appreciate that, Mr. Sherlock Holmes, for we are both brain-workers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You do me too much honour, said Holmes gravely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let us hear how you arrived at this most gratifying result.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The detective seated himself in the armchair and puffed complacently at his cigar. Then suddenly he slapped his thigh in a paroxysm of amusement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The fun of it is, he cried, that that fool Estrade, who thinks himself so smart, has gone off upon the wrong track altogether.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's after the secretary Stangerson, who had no more to do with the crime than the babe unborn. I have no doubt that he has caught him by this time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll tell you about it. Of course, Dr. Watson, this is strictly between ourselves. The first difficulty which we had to contend with was the finding of this American's antecedents.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some people would have waited until their advertisements were answered, or until parties came forward and volunteered information.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is not Tobias Gregson's way of going to work. You remember the hat beside the dead man?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had no idea that you noticed that, he said. Have you been there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, ha!" cried Gregson in a relieved voice. You should never neglect a chance, however small it may seem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To a great mind, nothing is little, remarked Holmes sententiously.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I went to Underwood and asked him if he had sold a hat of that size and description.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He looked over his books and came on it at once.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had sent the hat to a Mr. Drebber residing at Charpentier's boarding establishment, Torquay Terrace. Thus I got his address.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Smart, very smart, murmured Sherlock Holmes. I next called upon Madame Charpentier, continued the detective.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I found her very pale and distressed. Her daughter was in the room. An uncommonly fine girl she is, too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was looking red about the eyes, and her lips trembled as I spoke to her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That didn't escape my notice. I began to smell a rat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know the feeling, Mr Sherlock Holmes, when you come upon the right scent, a kind of thrill in your nerves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have you heard of the mysterious death of your late boarder, Mr. Enoch J. Drebber of Cleveland, I asked. The mother nodded. She didn't seem able to get out a word. The daughter burst into tears.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I felt more than ever that these people knew something of the matter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At what o'clock did Dr. Drebber leave your house for the train? I asked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At eight o'clock, she said, gulping in her throat to keep down her agitation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His secretary, Mr. Stangerson, said that there were two trains, one at 9.15 and one at 11. He was to catch the first. And was that the last which you saw of him?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A terrible change came over the woman's face as I asked a question. Her features turned perfectly livid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was some seconds before she could get out the single word, yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when it did come it was in a husky unnatural tone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was silence for a moment and when the daughter spoke in a calm clear voice


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No good can ever come of falsehood, mother, she said. Let us be frank with this gentleman. We did see Mr Drebber again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] God forgive you! cried Madame Charpentier, throwing up her arms and sinking back in her chair. You have murdered your brother!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Arthur would rather that we spoke the truth," the girl answered firmly. You had best tell me all about it now, I said. Our confidences are worse than none.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Besides, you do not know how much we know of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On your head be it, Alice," cried her mother, and then turning to me, I will tell you all, sir. Do not imagine that my agitation on behalf of my son arises from any fear lest he should have had a hand in this terrible affair. He is utterly innocent of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My dread is, however, that in your eyes, and in the eyes of others, he may appear to be compromised.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That, however, is surely impossible. His eye character, his profession, his antecedents would all forbid it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your best way is to make a clean breast of the facts, I answered. Depend upon it. If your son is innocent, he will be none the worse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perhaps, Alice, you had better leave us together, she said, and her daughter withdrew. Now, sir, she continued.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had no intention of telling you all this, but since my poor daughter has disclosed it I have no alternative.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Having once decided to speak, I will tell you all without omitting any particular. It is your wisest course, said I.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mr. Drebber has been with us nearly three weeks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He and his secretary, Mr Stangerson, have been travelling on the continent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I noticed a Copenhagen label upon each of their trunks, showing that that had been their last stop in place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Stangerson was a quiet reserved man, but his employer, I am sorry to say, was far otherwise. He was coarse in his habits and brutish in his ways.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The very night of his arrival, he became very much the worst for drink.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And indeed after twelve o'clock in the day he could hardly ever be said to be sober.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His manners towards the maid-servants were disgustingly free and familiar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Worst of all, he speedily assumed the same attitude towards my daughter Alice, and spoke to her more than once in a way which, fortunately, she is too innocent to understand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On one occasion he actually seized her in his arms and embraced her, an outrage which caused his own secretary to reproach him for his unmanly conduct.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But why did you stand all this? I asked. I suppose that you can get rid of your borders when you wish.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mrs. Charpentier blushed at my pertinent question.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Would to God that I had given him notice on the very day that he came, she said. But it was a sore temptation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were paying a pound a day each, fourteen pounds a week, and this is the slack season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm a widow and my boy in the Navy has cost me much. I grudge to lose the money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I acted for the best. This last was too much, however, and I gave him notice to leave on account of it. That was the reason of his going.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My heart grew light when I saw him drive away. My son is on leave just now, but I did not tell him anything of all this, for his temper is violent, and he is passionately fond of his sister.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I close the door behind them, a load seems to be lifted from my mind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alas, in less than an hour there was a ring at the bell, and I learned that Mr. Drebber had returned. He was much excited, and evidently the worse for drink.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He forced his way into the room, where I was sitting with my door, and made some incoherent remark about having missed his train.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He then turned to Alice, and before my very face, proposed to her that she should fly with him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You are of age," he said, and there is no law to stop you. I have money enough and to spare. Never mind the old girl here, but come along with me now straight away. You shall live like a princess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Poor Alice was so frightened that she shrunk away from him, but he caught her by the wrist and endeavoured to draw her towards the door.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I screamed, and at that moment my son Arthur came into the room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What happened then I do not know. I heard O's and the confused sounds of a scuffle. I was too terrified to raise my head.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I did look up I saw Arthur standing in the doorway laughing with a stick in his hand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think that fine fellow will trouble us again, he said. I'll just go after him and see what he does with himself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With those words he took his app and started off down the street. The next morning we heard of Mr. Drever's mysterious death.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This statement came from Mrs Charpentier's lips with many gasps and pauses. At times she spoke so low that I could hardly catch the words.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I made shorthand notes of all that she said, however, so that there should be no possibility of a mistake.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's quite exciting, said Sherlock Holmes with a yawn. What happened next?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When Mrs Sharp NTA paused, the detective continued, I saw that the whole case hung up on one point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fixing her with my eye in a way which I always found effective with women.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So your son was gone at least two hours. Yes. Possibly four or five. Yes. What was he doing during that time? I do not know, she answered, turning white to her very lips.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course, after that there was nothing more to be done. I found out where Luke Enant Charpentier was, took two officers with me, and arrested him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I touched him on the shoulder and warned him to come quietly with us, he answered us as bold as brass.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I s'pose you're arresting me for being concerned in the death of that scoundrel Drebber," he said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We had said nothing to him about it, so there is alluding to it at a most suspicious aspect.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He still carried the heavy stick, which the mother prescribed as having with him when he followed Drebber. It was a stout oak cudgel. Um, what is your theory, then?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, my theory is that he followed Drebber as far as the Brixton Road, when there a fresh altercation arose between them, in the course of which Drebber received a blow from the stick in the pit of the stomach—perhaps which killed him without leaving any mark.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The night was so wet that no one was about, so Charpentier dragged the body of his victim into the empty house. As to the candle and the blood, and the writing on the wall and the ring,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It may all be so many tricks to throw the police onto the wrong scent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well done!" said Holmes in an encouraging voice. Really, Gregson, you are getting along. We shall make something of you yet. I flatter myself that I have managed it rather neatly. The detective answered proudly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The young man volunteered a statement in which he said that after following Drebber some time, the latter perceived him and took a cab in order to get away from him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On his way home he met an old shipmate and took a long walk with him. On being asked where this old shipmate lived, he was unable to give any satisfactory reply. I think the old case fits together uncommonly well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What amuses me is to think of Lestrade, who started off on the wrong scent. I'm afraid he won't make much of why, by Jove, he's the very man himself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was indeed Lestrade who had ascended the stairs while we were talking, and who now entered the room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The assurance and jaughtiness which generally marked his demeanour and dress were however wanting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His face was disturbed and troubled, while his clothes were disarranged and untidy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had evidently come with the intention of consulting with Sherlock Holmes, for on perceiving his colleague he appeared to be embarrassed and put out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He stood in the centre of the room, fumbling nervously with his hat, and uncertain what to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is a most extraordinary case, he said at last, a most incomprehensible affair.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah, you find it so, Mr. Lestrade?" cried Gregson triumphantly. I thought you would come to that conclusion. Have you managed to find the secretary, Mr. Joseph Stangerson?"


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mr. Joseph Stangerson," said Lestrade gravely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was murdered at Alladay's private hotel about six o'clock this morning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think she's given up trying to catch the dragonfly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Miko is exploring. She found some wild animals. Wild.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wild and tame are two opposite words. Wild animals live in the jungle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The panda is rare because we don't see him often. The sheep are common because we see them many times. Look, a panther. What is its color?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here is a beautiful fish. He is in the shallow water. But this octopus is in the deep water. Shallow and deep are opposite. The shallow water is close to the surface. The deep water is down below.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] owl owl


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's good, cause I am terrible, fucking wretched. What's wrong? Oh, the usual.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Boyfriend thinks I'm a cash machine. One nightclub catering to the rich mindless crowd. In a city where the rich mindless crowd is something poor and mindless.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, you know, if the bodyguard, business partner thing doesn't work out, you should consider a career as a fucking life coach. A what? Nevermind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh my god. 45 years old, and I get my kicks doing blow with 17 year old kids. His only claim to fame is that people know better what their vagina looks like than their face. I should be sent to prison.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're in the great melting pot. We're not spicks or guidos or fags. We're proud Americans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ancelotti goons. I borrowed money from way back. Nevermind. Amateurs. Come on, let's get out of here. Let's go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where the fuck have you been, man? Yeah, I came as soon as I could. I don't pay for as soon as I could! Sleep with half the women in Liberty City, no doubt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know if it's that idiot Evan, or the economy, or this fucking cocaine, or the pills, which I am not taking anymore, but this time, I fucked up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's gonna be very crowded in the VIP room. These are not nice people and there's a lot of them. And right now you and me have to go play nice with one of them so you don't start sending rent goomba into the club.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was a pleasant outing, Rock. Where's that purse with you, and all what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rest up, okay? Listen, Lou, would you mind paying Mori a visit? He says he needs help with something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mori, Mori, no, no, Mori, Mori, no, I, I got the money, seriously, that's not the issue. No, I just want to make you happy. Is, is there anything else my team can do for you? No, we can do events, parties.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's up, T? Oh, I don't wanna think about what's up. C'mon, it's something I gotta take care of. Alright, think. Think. Ah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, Troy! Hey, how's business? Luis, c'mon, let's go. Uh, pretty quiet. Oh, fantastic. What is wrong with you people? Don't you know a good time when you see one? Jesus! When even the queens don't want to get rekt, you know this city is turning into


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jesus. Russia. Richard and the church. Buy this place, end all our troubles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's just get this over with. My head is killing me. My life has been reduced to this bullshit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So no, Luis, we are a long way from cool. But for right now...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really think I was dead? I'm sure of it! He bleated, didn't he?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, here we go, huh? Here we fucking go, huh? Oh, I see it in your eyes. You're embarrassed of me. You see me and think, oh, this is it. This is the moment to put me down. It's the moment when the apprentice takes over, huh? Oh, man. You think I'm done? You're not so fucking tough, Luis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just want to go someplace far away from here and quietly wait to die. I lived it! I lived it!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ha ha ha, silly fucking me. The Russian mob want me dead, my best friend just contemplated murdering me, the mob are on my case, I'm massively in debt, and I just lost two million dollars worth of diamonds. Any other man would just dust themselves off and carry on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our prisoner's furious resistance did not apparently indicate any ferocity in his disposition towards ourselves. For, on finding himself powerless, he smiled in an affable manner, and expressed his hopes that he had not hurt any of us in the scuffle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess you're going to take me to the police station," he remarked to Sherlock Holmes. My cab's at the door. If you'll loose my legs I'll walk down to it. I'm not so light to lift as I used to be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gregson and Lestrade exchanged glances as if they thought this proposition rather a bold one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Holmes at once took the prisoner at his word, and loosened the towel which we had bound round his ankles. He rose and stretched his legs, as though to assure himself that they were free once more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I remember that I thought to myself, as I eyed him, that I had seldom seen a more powerfully built man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And his dark, sunburned face bore an expression of determination and energy which was as formidable as his personal strength.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If there's a vacant place for a chief of the police, I reckon you're the man for it," he said, gazing with undisguised admiration at my fellow lodger. The way you kept on my trail was a caution.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You had better come with me, said Holmes to the two detectives. I can drive you, said Lestrade. Good, and Gregson can come inside with me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You too, Doctor. You have taken an interest in the case, and may as well stick to us." I assented gladly, and we all descended together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our prisoner made no attempt at escape, but stepped calmly into the cab which had been his, and we followed him. Lestrade mounted the box, whipped up the horse, and brought us in a very short time to our destination.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We were ushered into a small chamber where a police inspector noted down our prisoner's name and the names of the men with whose murder he had been charged. The official was a white-faced, unemotional man who went through his duties in a dull, mechanical way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The prisoner will be put before the magistrates in the course of the week, he said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the meantime, Mr Jefferson Hope, have you anything that you wish to say?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I must warn you that your words will be taken down and may be used against you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've got a good deal to say," our prisoner said slowly. I want to tell you gentlemen all about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hadn't you better reserve that for your trial? asked the inspector. I may never be tried, he answered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You needn't look startled. It isn't suicide I'm thinking of. Are you a doctor?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then put your hand here, he said with a smile, motioning with his manacled wrist towards his chest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I did so and became at once conscious of an extraordinary throbbing and commotion which was going on inside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The walls of his chest seemed to thrill and quiver as a frail building would do inside when some powerful engine was at work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the silence of the room I could hear a dull humming and buzzing noise which proceeded from the same source. Why? I cried. You have an aortic aneurysm. That's what they call it, he said placidly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I went to a doctor last week about it, and he told me that it is bound to burst before many days past. It's been getting worse for years. I got it from over-exposure and under-feeding among the Salt Lake Mountains.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've done my work now, and I don't care how soon I go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I should like to leave some account of the business behind me. I don't want to be remembered


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The inspector and the two detectives had a hurried discussion as to the advisability of allowing him to tell his story.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That there is immediate danger?" the former asked. Most certainly there is, I answered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In that case, it is clearly our duty in the interest of justice to take his statement, said the inspector.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You are at liberty sir to give your account, which I again warn you will be taken down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll sit down with your leave," the prisoner said, suiting the action to the word.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This aneurism of mine makes me easily tired, and the tussle we had half an hour ago has not mended matters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm on the brink of the grave and I'm not likely to lie to you. Every word I say is the absolute truth, and how you use it is a matter of no consequence to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With these words, Jefferson Hope leaned back in his chair and began the following remarkable statement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He spoke in a calm and methodical manner, as though the events which he narrated were commonplace enough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can vouch for the accuracy of the subjoined accounts, for I have had access to Lestrade's notebook, in which the prisoner's words were taken down exactly as they were uttered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It don't much matter to you why I hated these men," he said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's enough that they were guilty of the death of two human beings, a father and a daughter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that they had therefore forfeited their lives.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After the lapse of time that has passed since their crime, it was impossible for me to secure a conviction against them in any court.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I knew of their guilt, though, and I determined that I should be judge, jury, and executioner, all rolled into one. You'd have done the same if you have any manhood in you, if you had been in my place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That girl that I spoke of was to have married me twenty years ago. She was forced into marrying that same drebber, and broke her heart over it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I took the marriage ring from her dead finger, and I vowed that his dying eyes should rest upon that very ring, and that his last thoughts should be of the crime for which he was punished.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have carried about with me and have followed him and his accomplice over two continents until I caught them. They thought to tie me out, but they could not do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I die tomorrow, as is likely enough, I die knowing that my work in this world is done, and well done. They have perished and by my hand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is nothing left for me to hope for or to desire. They were rich and I was poor, so there was no easy matter for me to follow them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I got to London, my pocket was about empty, and I found that I must turn my hand to something for my living.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Driving and riding are as natural to me as walking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I applied at a cab owner's office and soon got employment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was to bring a certain sum a week to the owner, and whatever was over that I might keep for myself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was seldom much over, but I managed to scrape along somehow. The hardest job was to learn my way about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For I reckon that of all the mazes that ever were contrived, this city is the most confusing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had a map beside me, though, and when once I had spotted the principal hotels and stations I got on pretty well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was some time before I found out where my two gentlemen were living.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I inquired and inquired, until at last I dropped across them. They were at a boarding-house at Camberwell, over on the other side of the river.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When once I found out, I knew that I had them at my mercy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had grown my beard, and there was no chance of their recognising me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would dog them and follow them until I saw my opportunity. I was determined that they should not escape me again. They were very near doing it for all that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go where they would about London, I was always at their heels. Sometimes I followed them on my cab, and sometimes on foot, but the former was the best, for then they could not get away from me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was only early in the morning or late at night that I could earn anything, so that I began to get behind hand with my employer. I did not mind that, however.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They must have thought that there was some chance of their being followed, but they would never go out alone, and never after nightfall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] During two weeks I drove behind them every day, and never once saw them separate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Drebber himself was drunk half the time, but Stangerson was not to be caught napping. I watched them late and early, but never saw the ghost of a chance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I was not discouraged, for something told me that the hour had almost come.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My only fear was that this thing in my chest might burst a little too soon and leave my work undone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At last, one evening, I was driving up and down Torquay Terrace, as the street was called in which they boarded, when I saw a cab drive up to their door.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Presently some luggage was brought out, and after a time Drebber and Stangison followed it and drove off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I whipped up my horse and kept within sight of them, feeling very ill at ease, for I feared that they were going to be shifting their quarters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At Euston Station they got out and I left a boy to hold my horse and followed them onto the platform. I heard them ask for the Liverpool train.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the guard answered that that one had just gone and there would not be another for some hours. Stangerson seemed to be put out of that, but Drebber was rather pleased than otherwise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got so close to them in the bustle that I could hear every word that passed between them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Drebber said that he had a little business of his own to do, and that if the other would wait for him, he would soon rejoin him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His companion remonstrated with him and reminded him that they had resolved to stick together. Drebber answered that the matter was a delicate one, and that he must go alone. I couldn't catch what Stangison said to that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the other burst out swearing and reminded him that he was nothing more than his paid servant, and he must not presume to dictate to him.
