Dulwich's little corner of National History
Dulwich's little corner of National History
There is one part of Dulwich, which had played out within its walls, some of most desperate moments of national history. Indeed, the religious fundamentalism in England at the end of the sixteenth and much of the seventeenth centuries was as extreme as other religions today. Many historians now argue that the English Civil War was caused just as much by religious issues as by the king ignoring Parliament or the imposition of oppressive taxation. That place is Christ's Chapel, built in1613-1616 and which forms the central aspect of the foundation of a college for 12 poor scholars and an almshouse for six poor men and six poor women. It was built as an act of benevolence by the celebrated actor and theatre owner Edward Alleyn. While this of course is common knowledge, what is not so readily appreciated is the defining role this small chapel has in understanding the complex currents and undertones of religious fervour which once gripped England.
When the Archbishop of Canterbury, George Abbott (1562-1633) consecrated the chapel on Edward Alleyn's birthday on 1st September 1616 he had been translated only five years earlier. He performed the act of consecration because of a vacancy in the see of Winchester, the diocese in which the chapel was then situated. Abbott was a moderate Puritan but upheld the Apostolic Succession, the doctrine that properly ordained bishops inherited the spiritual authority conferred upon them by the Apostles, who in turn received this authority from Jesus Christ. George Abbott also tolerated other aspects of Roman Catholicism when occasion required it. On the other hand he was averse to popery and suppressed opinions with which he disagreed with excessive harshness. Abbott, a Calvinist, had feuded with the rising fellow cleric William Laud. They clashed over doctrinal issues; Laud being influenced by the teachings of Jacob Arminius who emphasised the concept of free will and good works over predestination as a means of salvation. Laud's interpretation of Arminianism also included ordered and uniform practices of worship.
It can be safely assumed that Christ's Chapel, in its first twenty years or so, was a plain place of worship, equipped with an altar, pulpit, font and convenient seats as early records tell us, but without stained glass in its windows, railings around its altar table, pictures or painted walls. According to its statutes it had a choir. Its clergy wore plain surplices but not highly decorated copes.
It was typical of Abbott's resistance to the Crown's interference with Church matters that he spoke out against the Declaration of Sports. The Declaration of Sports, said to have been drafted by William Laud, was a device by James 1 to humour those who affectionately looked back on pre-Puritan times when maypole dancing, jumping and vaulting and the laying of rushes on church floors were customary on Sundays after church service. While such practices were totally alien to puritans, some of whom still refused to accept that the Reformation had actually been completed, the King was aware that to maintain peace among the many religious factions which then existed he had to ease some of the puritan restrictions. George Abbott, however, resisted the King on this issue by refusing to have the Declaration read in churches of which he was the Peculiar (which included Christ's Chapel).
Abbott was clearly on good terms with Edward Alleyn and Alleyn dined with His Grace at Croydon and visited on other occasions. After Alleyn's death in 1626 and following an incident at the Chapel involving one of its preachers, a Rev Robert Wells, who was expelled for 'divers misdemeanours' Archbishop Abbott was obliged to take a closer look at what was going on here. He admonished the College, now administered by two of Alleyn's cousins as Master and Warden, to "support the poor & scholars and to behave themselves soberly and modestly and observe the statutes according to their oaths".
Abbott had meantime fallen from influence and favour, possibly by absenting himself from the Council because of the effect of an accident in which he killed a servant with a crossbow bolt while hunting. His critics accused him of abusing his office by hunting and sought to discredit him and for the last few years of his life he was sidelined by the ambitious Laud. Nevertheless, Abbott enjoyed the support of James 1 and this support was continued by his heir and Abbott placed the crown on the head of Charles 1 when he ascended to the throne in 1625.
Laud succeeded to the Primacy in 1633 on the death of Abbott and almost immediately began bringing the Church into the uniformity he so highly prized, by requiring all parishes and priests to adhere to the Prayer Book. The Prayer Book of 1559 already had printed in its Preface the draconian code of punishments of those in England who did not strictly adhere to its use, including massive fines and the threat of life imprisonment. These were however rarely enforced. All was to change when Laud sent his agents throughout the country to ensure the uniformity of worship as prescribed in the Prayer Book. Laud also insisted on the reading the Declaration of Sports in all churches, so we must assume it was read out here in Dulwich and was quickly acted upon.
Laud was described as a man of small stature but of great ambition who had sprung from humble roots. Some writers have explained his single-mindedness of purpose and his ruthless manipulation of power was a way of compensating for these aspects of his personality. Certainly Laud brooked no interference and took savage action against his critics, among them the publishers of the numerous pamphlets then circulating which were critical of his power. William Prynne, a radical Puritan who, like his fellows, wanted to close all the theatres, had already incurred royal wrath by writing a book which denounced the staging of plays. This was seen as an attack upon the Queen who had performed in a play at Court. It was also interpreted as a thinly veiled attack on the King himself for allowing such conduct. Prynne was sentenced to mutilation by having his ears cut off. When Prynne later wrote a tirade against Laud in a pamphlet he was seized again, tried and sentenced to mutilation in the pillory a second time when the remainder of his ears were cut off and he was branded on his cheek with the letters - S.L. signifying Seditious Libeller ( Prynne, on returning from the hands of his torturer, brazenly composed a poem in which the initials S.L. stood for Stigmata Laud).
In Dulwich, Laud had facilitated the appointment of one Simon Mace as Preacher. Mace was quarrelsome and argued with the Master "abusing him with uncivil words and calling him a hypocrite and a Cussenor". The dispute was brought before the local magistrate and Mace promptly abused him as well. He told the boys that learning Latin and singing would do them no good at all. He also took some boys to the alehouse with him and they were 'overtaken with drink'. At dinner, Mace was reported to have said that the Archbishop of York was " a devilish plotter of villainy and would make a brave Pope. He went on to call the Master "a base rascal", and challenged him to a fight. Probably to get rid of this tiresome cleric, William Laud gave Mace leave to appoint a substitute at Dulwich so he could join the pinnace 'Greyhound' as chaplain. His subsequent career has sadly not come to light.
Laud held his first visitation to Dulwich in 1634 and at once queried whether the Fellows wore surplices during divine services and sang in the choir. On finding out that they did not Laud admonished them and then went on to ask where the altar candles and basin were, to which the Master confessed to removing them. Laud commanded him to put them back. He also gave orders for a bell for the Chapel to be cast at the College's expense but bearing the inscription "William Laud made mee 1634". It still hangs in the bell-tower. Undoubtedly he insisted on moving the altar from the nave to be set lengthways against the east wall and railed off.
In 1639 Laud's Vicar General, Sir Nathaniel Brent made a further Visitation to Dulwich, one many he conducted throughout England to enforce conformity, correct irregularities in the conduct of services and inspect the fabric. As far as the fabric was concerned he did not like what he saw. The tower had fallen down shortly before and there were insufficient funds to rebuild it. Brent reported back to the Archbishop. Laud immediately closed the whole College down for 6 months to save money on salaries and expenses. The poor brothers, sisters and boys were returned to their respective parishes for the period. In 1641, with finances presumably restored, Laud commanded the College to reglaze the plain East Window "in divers coloured glass of the same worke and fashion as the east windows of the Parish churches of St Martins in the Fields and St Clement Danes".
Some of the changes Laud was obliging parishes to adopt, such as the moving of altars to a position sideways to the east wall and protected by rails, replacing ordinary bread for the sacraments with wafers, the use of candles and ornaments, stained glass and decorated vestments have been explained by some as an effort of brighten churches up from their Puritan plainness, and by others as placing emphasis on the sacramental and ceremonial aspects of church services above those of the preaching The Word.
Laud's insistence on total conformity of the Liturgy of churches in England, as well as attempting to force churches in Scotland to use the 1559 Common Prayer Book, on the one hand alienated English Puritans who sensed Laud was adopting Roman Catholic practices (some 16,000 emigrated to America) and on the other led the Scots to reject both the prayer book and the episcopacy. This refusal to conform obliged Charles to invade Scotland to try force uniformity upon it and so fermented what became known as The Bishops' War.
Laud's high handed actions, his adherence for what were interpreted as Roman Catholic practices, his influence over the King and his central role in the Administration alienated Parliament and he was arrested for treason and imprisoned in the Tower in 1643. In 1645 Parliament passed a Bill of Attainder (which only required a presumption of guilt) and Laud was beheaded. The Civil War, meanwhile, had commenced in 1642 and the four Fellows of Dulwich fled to the Royalist stronghold of Oxford. The Master and Warden remained in post (wisely putting the College plate into pawn for duration as a means of safeguarding it). In 1644 Parliament took over as watch-dog of the College, declared the missing fellows delinquents and through Parliament's Committee for Plundered Ministers appointed a preacher and a schoolmaster of their own choosing. As these two new men were doing the work of four they not unreasonably demanded double wages which the Master and Warden refused. The new men complained and Parliament ordered the Sergeant at Arms to arrest both Master and Warden - they were released without charge.
Desecration of the Chapel then took place - the new stained glass window fell a victim, together with the altar rails and organ. The choir was disbanded, singing during service stopped, the font probably smashed and baptisms banned. The altar was placed lengthways in the nave; surplices, candles, icons and pictures were also banned. Troops were billeted on the College in 1647 during July and August when the New Model Army occupied London before withdrawing to Putney for the famous Putney Debates.
Actually, in many ways, the Commonwealth was a good time for the College. A particularly gifted Schoolmaster Fellow - Edmund Colby, who had sympathy for the Parliamentary cause and because of his politics had been driven out of his home in Cornwall and had his books burnt by Royalist sympathisers, was engaged by the Committee for Plundered Ministers. During his tenure in Dulwich, four boys went to university, the largest number in the College's history.
By 1658, puritan sympathy was on the wane and when the Master and Warden told Parliament they could not sign new leases for tenants as they had no elected Fellows as required by the Statutes, Parliament discharged both the preacher and Colby and let the College elect its own men. There was uproar by parents in the village over Colby's dismissal and a letter was sent to the Committee appealing for his retention. It was refused. The Preacher was replaced with someone apparently more ambivalent about puritan sympathies, because he held his post until 1670 - well into the Restoration. The new priest was not stupid however and whatever he might have thought in private he was not going to prematurely make changes until he could see which way the wind would blow in the attempt to restore the Monarchy.
Although the Restoration would eventually deliver the Church back into uniformity, it would take some time as the example of Dulwich demonstrates. The Archbishop of Canterbury, Archbishop Sheldon who was translated in 1662 did not risk promoting the, immediate restoration of altars for fear of upsetting anti-Laudians and Londoners hostile to the High Church. It was not until after the Great Fire that he was able to insist on returning to pre-war conditions such as bringing back railed altars and demanding the Prayer Book be used. Some 2000 ministers who refused to accept these demands were deprived of their livings.
In Dulwich, Archbishop Sheldon's Visitation was spread over several years, interrupted by plague and the Great Fire. Undoubtedly, what with the introduction of the new Prayer Book in 1662, he had his hands full. Even so, in 1665 in the chapel in Dulwich where he was the Peculiar, Sheldon must have been horrified to find that surplices were still not being worn, that the "force of the late tymes of disorder and rebellion" had caused singing to be put down, the organ broken into pieces and carried away, the communion table turned endways east to west "and several other disorders now crept in". He ordered the altar be put back behind rails lengthways, the Reading Desk for lessons be brought back to the middle of the Choir and the College were "to provide a Litany Desk there to sing or say the Litany". Pew rents would be charged and a small organ obtained. Services were to be as near that of the Cathedral service at Westminster Abbey. The College set about repairing what was left of the old organ and ordering cloth for new surplices for the Fellows and the scholars.
For Christ's Chapel of Alleyn's College of God's Gift at Dulwich, its moment in the history of the Anglican Church had passed.

Q: Is "blah blah blah" the most common spelling? What is the most common or correct spelling of "blah blah blah"?

*

*blah blah blah

*blah blah

*bla bla bla

*bla bla

My question stems from when I first wrote it as "bla bla bla" in an English text, but a friend told me it should have been written as "blah blah" so I decided to ask here.
Before that I had checked it out on some online English dictionary and Google search but I wasn't able to clear it out.

A: Just for giggles behold the Google Ngram:

"blah blah" is clearly more common.
Due to feedback, here's another silly metric:
Google search results:
bla bla:        about 54,100,000
bla bla bla:    about 36,300,000
blah blah:      about 68,800,000
blah blah blah: about 54,400,000

Not exactly conclusive, but blah blah still wins... see hippietrails comment, he is better at googling than me.

A: "Bla bla" to me looks like I would spell it in German. In English you probably (my theory) need the "h" at the end to ensure pronunciation.
A dictionary is seen by most people as a language reference. However, the editors of a dictionary do not define a language.
In the German-speaking world, the verb "to google something" for "to look something up on the internet" was included in a famous German dictionary for the wide and common usage.
This demonstrated how language is not defined by dictionaries. If words enter common usage they become part of the language and therefore the dictionaries are at some point obliged to include this words.
So, if "blah" is the most common spelling of this word, you probably will find it at some point in time in you trusted English dictionary.

A: The phrase "blah blah blah" and the single word 'blah' are both very informal. In fact, even though the OED is pretty descriptive, I'm surprised it has an entry for 'blah' (it is not something I expect in print, and that's all that OED relies on).
As to what constitutes a standard, for English, there is no government supported official body, like the French Academy, which dictates usage. It is a little more decentralized in English writing culture, relying on style guide writers (from book or newspaper publishing houses or self declared but recognized experts), and the primary and secondary school systems.
The phrase is informal enough so as not warrant an official, correct spelling by any authority. Because of its informality, one would not expect a magazine or newspaper editor to regulate its spelling because they would just try not to have it appear at all.
This might seem disingenuous because after all it is in the OED and there are many instances written on the net. Some people do write it. But the authorities on what should be written would probably say that it should not be written at all.
Then it falls to practice. And only practice defines (circularly) what is the most common. And that seems to be 'blah blah blah'.
Your friend 'corrected' you by telling you what he's seen more often. 'correct' and 'common' are not the same thing, but when there's no correctness authority it is all we have to go on.
As to whether two or three repetitions, I've never heard or used less than three in speech; if you're going to spout nonsense, might as well go all the way.

A: Blah blah blah is the normal way to spell it. Bla looks kind of blah.

About the Show/Event
Information for A Modest Little Man at Upstairs at the Gatehouse, Inner London (Play). May 1945. Britain celebrates victory over Hitler and cheer Winston Churchill. But things have changed. The poor don't want to go back to the way things were. They remember the thirties. It was a time of poverty, unemployment, starvation, in the midst of ostentatious wealth. They don't want that again. The men and women who fought the war want a better world. They want the rich to pay a bit more, so the poor can suffer a bit less. They want a national health service. Pay when they're unemployed, so their families don't starve. Education for everyone, so that no one grows up unable to read or write. They want the Labour Party to deliver it. But Labour is led by a nonentity - "a modest little man with plenty to be modest about." He says almost nothing. He sits in his grey suit and puffs his pipe. One wit remarked: "An empty taxi drew up and Clement Attlee got out." No charisma, no revolutionary passion. Even if, by some miracle, he wins an election against the great Winston Churchill, this grey little man can't make a revolution. There's no hope. There's nothing in him. Is there?

Jonathan Drouin asks for trade from Lightning
January 4, 2016 | Jonathan Drouin, Tampa Bay Lightning, Trade
Jonathan Drouin's agent Allan Walsh revealed today that back in November, he formally requested for the Tampa Bay Lightning forward to be traded. Drouin is a former 3rd overall pick from the 2013 NHL Draft.
He played 70 games in the 2014-15 season as a rookie and registered 32 points. However, he was benched for all but six games in Tampa Bay's Stanley Cup run and and after playing only 19 games so far this season and battling a lower body injury, Drouin was sent back to the minors yesterday.
In this season's small sample size of 19 games, Drouin recorded 2 goals, and 6 assists, and had a rating of +1. Let's take a deeper look into his on-ice impact.
Jonathan Drouin's Advanced Stats
While he wasn't posting strong corsi numbers and was generating minimal scoring chances in his 19 games, there are many other Lightning forwards in the same boat as him when it comes to these two statistics. The only forwards posting really good relative numbers in both shot attempts and scoring chances have been J.T. Brown, Vladislav Namestnikov, and Cedric Paquette.
What's really interesting about the Drouin situation is that Drouin was producing more points per 60 minutes than any other Tampa Bay Lightning player this season. So that's why it's a bit surprising that he sent back down to the minors. I have it all visualized below (via War-On-Ice).
It is a small sample size, and his PDO of 106.69 likely meant that there was regression coming, but when a player is producing points at that rate, they expect to get more ice time, and he simply wasn't getting that. This chart (by @Classlicity), dating back to the 2014-15 season, sums up it all up.
Trading away young players is always a risky business. You rarely see it happen. And after the Tyler Seguin trade to Dallas, I think teams will be even more hesitant to trade away young talent.
I'm not expecting anything significant to happen right away, but there will be considerable interest from NHL clubs, and it does appear as though at some point this season, Jonathan Drouin will no longer be a member of the Tampa Bay Lightning. Here are GM Steve Yzerman's comments on the whole situation.

Sheraton Maldives unveils $20 mln renovation with sophisticated design, local feel
m@ldives	466 views December 2, 2018
Marriott has announced the completion of a USD 20 million renovation to Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa in Maldives.
Designed by boutique multi-disciplinary design practice Topo Design Studio, the newly transformed resort now exhibits beautiful Maldivian architecture with a contemporary twist, reflecting the five-star experience guaranteed at the property.
Topo Design Studio takes their inspiration from the surrounding environment to ensure that all aspects of the resort emulate a traditional Maldivian feel that is not compromised by the top of the range amenities. As a result, all aspects of the resort have been elegantly renovated, from the restyled landscape gardens around the swimming pools, to the room categories, the events spaces and restaurants, ensuring a completely dovetailed style throughout the island.
"We are delighted to have completed the renovation programme which has seen USD 20 million spent on redesigning Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa. As the third eldest resort in the Maldives, dating back to 1937, it is very important to us that we continue to modernise our property to ensure it goes above and beyond the standards expected of a five-star resort without losing the feel of our surroundings," Emilio Fontini, General Manager for Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa, was quoted in a statement, as saying.
"Subsequently, Sheraton Maldives has been carefully transformed and this is seen in our revamped restaurants with fresh menus, our newly designed bars, our bespoke villa host service and our innovative spa packages which are set to complete in January 2019. We look forward to welcoming both new and returning guests to discover these new enhancements, which I have no doubt will only enrich their experience on our unique tropical paradise."
Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa now boasts 10 different luxury room categories, all spaciously located around the island, including the re-styled Deluxe Cottages, Cottage Water Bungalows and Water Bungalows with Pools.
These spacious cottages all offer the utmost privacy and provide easy access to the beach and lagoon. As part of the renovation, they now feature an outdoor so guests can truly immerse themselves in their luscious green surroundings.

The property has also introduced a new room category, Cottage with Pool, which has been designed with families in mind and boasts a private plunge pool for young children to safely splash around in with direct access to the heavenly white sandy beaches.

Offering seven bars and restaurants in total, the resort ensures that a variety of dining options are available to guests, ranging from a casual al fresco treat to a quintessentially Maldivian feast.
The newest addition to the completed renovations includes the centrally located Feast Restaurant, which has been uniquely designed to emulate the local culture and now boasts a cadent coconut roofing and a sophisticated white colour scheme. Offering both breakfast and dinner, the Feast Restaurant comes to life with chefs creating dishes from around the world from live-cooking stations made from cleanly cut marble surfaces.

Similarly, the Anchorage Bar has been elegantly renovated with a light and gentle colour palette that does not detract from the panoramic view of the stunning Indian Ocean. This creates a laid-back atmosphere and encourages guests to relax on the comfortable day beds, listen to live music from a local band and sip on one of the resort's signature cocktails.

Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa is situated on the private island of Furanafushi in the North Male Atoll, just a 15-minute speedboat ride away from the main Velana International Airport.
The five-star resort offers 176 guest rooms designed to blend into the surrounding turquoise waters, pristine beaches and lush greenery. Also boasting seven unique restaurants and bars, the Shine Spa for Sheraton (located on its very own island) and three outdoor tropical fresh water pools, the resort caters for all guests and is the perfect destination for honeymooners, families with young children or teens and solo travellers alike.

The general notion that light might exert radiation pressure stretches back centuries—it was cited by Johannes Kepler, for example, as the reason that comets' tails point away from the sun. But it was not until the advent of the laser in the 1960s that the opportunity arose to put that pressure to practical use.
Ashkin grabbed onto that opportunity in 1970, with a landmark paper in Physical Review Letters in which he demonstrated the use of focused beams from continuous-wave lasers to trap and move small dielectric particles. Then, along with several colleagues at Bell Laboratories (including future Nobel laureate Steven Chu), Ashkin followed up that work with a design, published in Optics Letters in 1986, for a single-beam optical trap that worked by passing laser light through a microscope objective lens. This setup, which came to be called optical tweezers, became a linchpin both in subsequent research involving trapping and cooling atoms, and in work with biological and cell systems.
The other half of the 2018 Physics prize recognized the work by Mourou and Strickland that enabled the spectacular rise in the power of ultra-short-pulse lasers since 1985.
Before their work, the development of ultra-short-pulse, mode-locked lasers did not come with an accompanying rise in laser power, because efforts to meaningfully boost pulse power led to damage to the amplifiers doing the work. As a result, after the laser's early development in the early to mid-1960s, laser intensity remained stubbornly capped at levels below 1015 W/cm2.
Mourou and then-grad-student Strickland, at the University of Rochester, USA, hit upon an ingenious solution to the amplification quandary, published in 1985. First, an ultra-short pulse—specifically, a low-energy, nanojoule pulse from a mode-locked Nd:YAG laser—could be stretched out in time a hundred or even a thousand fold, with a corresponding decrease in its peak power. Then, the stretched-out pulse would itself be amplified to a peak level that was within the ability of laser materials to handle. Finally, afterward, the chirped pulse is re-compressed to its original duration. As a result, the integrated energy of the amplified, chirped pulse is packed back into a much shorter duration, boosting the original pulse's peak power by orders of magnitude.
Olga Botner of Uppsala University, a member of the Nobel Committee, added, in response to a question about the number of female nominees for the award, that "the percentage reflects the percentage of women as they were in previous years … two or three decades back in time." She suggested that, given the increasing proportion of women in physics since then, their representation in future Nobel physics prize nominations and awards might also increase.

U.S. House Republican Kevin Brady Tests Positive For COVID-19
U.S. Representative Kevin Brady, the top Republican on the House of Representatives taxwriting Ways and Means Committee, said on Tuesday that he had tested positive for coronavirus weeks after receiving a first dose of the Pfizer Inc COVID19 vaccine.
WASHINGTON: U.S. Representative Kevin Brady, the top Republican on the House of Representatives tax-writing Ways and Means Committee, said on Tuesday that he had tested positive for coronavirus weeks after receiving a first dose of the Pfizer Inc COVID-19 vaccine.
Brady, 65, is the second House member to report testing positive for the virus this week. An aide to Representative Kay Granger, 77, the top Republican on the House Appropriations Committee, announced on Monday that the lawmaker had tested positive.
"Tonite, the Office of House Physician informed me that I've tested positive for Covid 19 & am quarantined," Brady said on Twitter on Tuesday.
"As recommended, I received a first dose of the Pfizer vaccine Dec 18 & also recently tested negative for Covid on New Years Day. Begin treatment tomorrow. Shld be fine."
A nurse in California tested positive for COVID-19 last month, more than a week after receiving the first dose of Pfizer Inc's vaccine.
Experts say a second dose of the vaccine is needed to ramp up protection against the virus.
Dozens of lawmakers in Congress have tested positive, or were presumed to have had COVID-19, over the past year.
The coronavirus pandemic has infected nearly 21 million Americans and killed more than 357,000.

Q: Convert Python Script to exe and include selenium browser I got problems while converting.
I tryed:
Auto py to exe - gui - I added chromedriver(1 file)  || whole folder(site-packages\chromedriver_binary)
I created .spec file and wrote there:
a = Analysis(['tk.py'],
binaries=[],
datas=[("chromedriver.exe",".")])

But got some errors:

File "c:\python36_32\lib\site-packages\PyInstaller\building\buildne
  782, in build with open(spec, 'r') as f: FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2]
  No such file or directory: 'tkk.spec'

I have got .spec, chromedriver and python script in same folder.
When i'm run exe on Windows 7 i got something like it:
https://gyazo.com/0152ca0998e2e0895ff91c9cfb7db0c2
I have got no clue how to stop view of console to read error
Can you tell what's I'm doing wrong?

A: One way to preserve this error is to run tk.exe through the command prompt / terminal. On Windows this can be done by opening cmd, changing your directory to the location of tk.exe and executing ./tk.exe which will run the executable and preserve the output for you to see.
From what I can see (it's not clear), you are getting a FileNotFoundError saying "Nie mozna odnalezc okreslonego pliku" which I believe is The specified file can not be found in English. Below this, selenium has raised an error saying that chromedriver.exe cannot be found.
Looking at the video you provided, it looks like you used onefile mode. If you did some research on bundling files with PyInstaller's --onefile then you would know that you will need to tell selenium specifically where chromedriver.exe is.
I have not done this myself but I believe the process would look something like:
    from selenium import webdriver
    options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
    options.binary_location = resource_path('.')
    driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options)

Of course this won't be everything but this is telling selenium to look at the scripts temporary directory (due to --onefile) for chromedriver.exe
Also as a quick note, you said you used auto-py-to-exe. When using this tool, it tells you explicitly to take this into consideration when adding files and using --onefile.
