5 reasons why the narcissist returns. When the narcissist returns to you, it can be quite confusing. Maybe they discarded you. Maybe they told you all of these reasons why you're not good. And then they left. So it would seem like there's no reason for them to return. Which is why it can be so confusing. But there are reasons why the narcissist returns to you. 1. Re-idealization. When the narcissist first met you, they idealized you. They saw you as perfect.  They have to see people in this way to secure them as their sources of supply. They have black and white thinking. So they will either see you as all good or as all bad.  Which is why they wanted to be with you. But it was only a matter of time until they began to devalue you and then discard you. But once they have spent some time away from you, they begin to forget everything bad that happened. They begin to forget all those times that you stood up to them or refused to comply. They idealize you again. They see you as perfect. And that is when they're likely to return. You're like a drug to the narcissist. And once they've abused the drug, it no longer has the same effect. So they need to spend some time away from it to get that same feeling again. Two, validation. One of the main things a narcissist wants is validation. If you discarded the narcissist, this is one thing they will be seeking when they return to you. Because when you discard a narcissist, it bruises their ego. It makes them feel unimportant. But they cannot regulate their emotions from within. Their sense of importance comes from other people. So when you invalidate a narcissist, this will cause them to chase your validation because they need to feel wanted. But even if they do contact you and you ask them if they want to meet somewhere, they're just going to use that opportunity to reject you because then they can feel like they're better than you. They can feel like they got the last laugh. Three, loneliness. Narcissists suffer from pathological loneliness. They cannot be alone for long periods of time. They also get bored very easily. So if there's no one else to entertain them, they are likely to return to you. They need attention. They need constant entertainment. But they cannot provide that for themselves. They are empty vessels. So they need someone to distract them from the void within. Four, failed supply. The narcissist may have discarded you and tried to move on with their new source of supply. But maybe things didn't turn out as they expected. They thought the grass was greener on the other side. But it wasn't. So now they're coming back to you again. And you may think that they're sorry or that they've realized what they did wrong. But they're just coming back because it didn't work out with someone else. Five, money. The narcissist will return to you for money or other conveniences.  You were supporting them. And even though they may have abused that privilege, they still feel entitled to it. Narcissists don't think that they can do anything wrong. They think everything they do is right. They rationalize it.  You still owe them. They live in a delusional world where they think that everything should revolve around them. So they will often return to you and make demands for money because narcissists are lazy. They don't want to go out and work for it. They want everything to come easy and they see you as their parent. When a narcissist makes you their primary source of supply, they're putting you in the parental role. So they expect you to take responsibility for them regardless of what they do wrong. In their minds, you're their caretaker. So you should just do what they want. There are many reasons why a narcissist will return to you. But it always comes down to one thing. They want something from you. If a narcissist doesn't want anything from you, you will probably never hear from them again. They will only contact you if they want something. But once they've been involved with you and their ego has been bruised, they won't want to talk to you again.  They'd rather get supply somewhere else. But it's not so easy for them to find a source that's as good as you were to them. They know that most people wouldn't deal with them, which is why they're often forced to return to you. They don't want to return to you if you bruised their ego or rejected them. But if they can't find anything better, they're left with no option. It's either that or they downgrade. But no narcissist is going to willingly downgrade themselves. They will only do that if they have no other choice. If they know that you're no longer susceptible to their manipulation, that's when they know that they can't return. But as long as they think you still believe in them, they will keep trying.

So they're 150 to one Plus 15,000 Some lottery scratcher money on that There's rafael devers to 50 The check republics plus 50,000 It's 500 to one They're the longest longest odds Nice bobby wood jr riding low insert for chad Joe p got andrew jones autos today I've got a Got a bone to pick with andrew jones They're just not committed to baseball flow If the check probably doesn't win they're gonna blame their day jobs. Yeah They're just not committed All right, so so from the favorites to the worst so here here just quick rundown to the odds Dominican Republic plus 200 usa plus 275 japan at plus 300 And then it jumps to venezuela 10 to 1 plus 1,000 Puerto Rico 11 to 1 korea 12 to 1 plus 1200 Mexico 20 to 1 cuba 25 to 1 Canada 50 to 1 chinese Taipei 50 to 1 netherland 65 to 1 and it jumps Again to 130 to 1 colombia Australia both 130 to 1 panama 150 to 1 along with italy and israel Nicaragua 200 to 1 great britain 200 to 1 china 200 to 1 And check republic 500 to 1 What what did he do to the dodgers? Took their money Came into camp camp fat After looking pretty good with the braves the season before and then Couldn't proceed to continue getting injured and all this sort of stuff for a couple years And then after he moves on he lands with another team and uh all of a sudden He looks trim. He's hitting well I thought as much not as well as before but better than he did with the Dodgers And so he just kind of lolly gagged it just kind of tanked tanked it Slow effort You honestly didn't know he went to the Dodgers exactly Exactly There's hoy park to 99 So, I mean, yeah Oh, look at this super super a Matt Chapman daniel louis last spot mojo one of one super a Dilo with last spot mojo All aboard the big hit express Whoo, had a super yesterday super today There's bobbywood jr.

All right another box Only certain people all Since when does trout have redemption since since now? No, he usually is pretty good about signing cards. I want to say I feel like since it's uh since it's one of those like The sticker redemptions I feel like they waited as long as possible Otherwise it would be like a blue redemption Usually I think that's what happens. Was that one of one? Was that the same box? That would have been a hell of a personal box Ah, there was a five trout was a redemption of five stars who were Trouts enjoying his off season We have the yankee fans talking about all these angels And you know what it's easier to uh It's easier to sell those cards if you collect your own team too much I feel like sometimes you get too sentimental about players and it's hard to To sell them when you need to We've seen bob euker in some of the sets just not in this one. I don't think he's going to be in a ben baller set I don't think anyone's clamoring for Matt fest courage and redemption the autographs though Let alone matt fest courage and redemptions All right, the beads shane beaver to 75 for tristan and the guardians And there's joey vado to 99 Yeah, the yankies are always among the priciest teams any baseball break Julio rodriguez die cut Non-number die cut for edward and the mariners and a wander franco Still need to find a numbered one for jackie.

I hope we do Wow Dilo has given us some deep tv cuts here So cheers Had the frazier spin-off, but there was also a spin-off For carla's ex-husband and his new girl called the tortellis That's the only one season That's the only one season Great games you're saying surprises even lasted a season Do you have notes the guy that bought a case last night got anything good jason? I don't know Nothing that I've heard of But jason should be on instagram He could pop it trekking with him Yeah, did dilo write the script Or the teleplay as they would say in television Maybe uh, maybe daniel used to be the showrunner Or that short live show Whoever remembers the tortellis Alec Bohm to 99 Louise Robert to 99 Brian Hayes to 75 Hayes Will he made Hayes?

Maybe it's not even worth putting the tortellis up on a streaming service It's not worth the space on the servers They're probably, someone probably uploaded them for free on youtube On soto die cut I mean they may not even pursue copyright strikes on those Julio Rodriguez Edward with Seattle More than, better than decent Better than decent I'll do a recap at the end of this break You can see for yourself a little bit later Got a Joey Votto to 10 That'll be for John and Cincinnati Ron and Cincinnati Does Daniel have a tortellis DVD box set?

MBU admins or ward admins are also able to log into the form to update the bed availability of their particular MBU. To do so, these people will log in with their passwords, their usernames and passwords. And when they log in, they'll be taken to their immediate MBU and they'll see a button that says update bed availability. By clicking that button, you can see you will be presented with a form where you'll be able to set the number of beds available currently, we'll set this to three. And whether or not there will be any future availability. When you click on save, you're asked to confirm that you actually want to save this information. So read it, check it, make sure it's correct and then click OK. And the system will confirm that the number of beds in the bed availability has been updated.


White Elephant, an expensive item that is costly to maintain. Shortly after Tanya inherited her aunt's castle, it turned out to be a white elephant she could not afford.


What do you got there? I don't know. Nothing was turning, but uh oh my god He's coming straight in. Oh, I don't know dude. Oh, oh Wow, whoa, it's got a lot of life.  He uh, I mean the only other brookies cars that I really want to


Okay, so aside from the kind of the, you know, the requirements and characteristics of connected devices, specifically we're going to talk about WISOX. What is a WISOX? What does a WISOX do? What, you know, components does it have? And we'll give a quick example of one such device utilizing these wireless SOCs. And after a little bit of interaction to hardware, again Yvonne is going to talk about the OpenWRT. But it's a fairly complex process and it's a fairly complex project and we only have 15-20 minutes. So there's a lot of text on the slides. It's meant to be a reference thing you can get back to, or later in the pub we can talk more about the individual details that you might be interested in. So again this is what I was trying to talk about earlier. You could look at the connected device ecosystem in three aspects. You have things. Again, these could be small microcontrollers, you know, Linux class devices. And gateways are generally, again, Linux class devices. So the WISOX, or the WISOX devices I'm going to talk about today are mainly used in these first two categories and services, it's fluffy clouds, so we're not that interested in that at the moment. So a WISOX is a wireless system-on-chip device. Generally it's just like a normal system-on-chip device with some sort of wireless capability bolted onto it. And the specific class of devices that we're going to talk about today are the Wi-Fi 802.11 class radios integrated with MIPS or small ARM cores. MIPS is not dead, MIPS is very much alive, especially in this category of devices.  They're not like microcontrollers, they can run Linux fairly comfortably, just mainline Linux, they don't have to go through any special patches or anything. And the kind of companies that produce these chips are big semiconductor companies. The likes of Qualcomm, Atheros, MediaTek, Rallink, you know, there are quite a lot of different chips that they produce, but if you look at all of them, they pretty much are the same thing. So, and also like connected devices, IoT, etc., they kind of, they're marketing folks have realized this and they market these chips for Internet of Thing applications. They don't specify which thing it is, but at least they have it in their data sheets now, so we're all good. So, a generic architecture for one of these devices looks a bit like this. Small diagrams, big room, sorry about that, but generally it's a processor core, it's a MIPS core generally, and a whole bunch of interfaces, everything from SPI to PCI Express, right? So, this is not Arduino, this is not like, you know, your microcontroller class devices, you can bolt on anything to these. And you'll also notice, I don't know if it's visible, but you'll also notice that there's a Wi-Fi, kind of like a WLAN chip or component bolted onto the peripheral bus on this. So, really with just this chip and a couple of support components, you have an embedded Linux system. And this is generally what you will find inside your home router or home gateway or, you know, those kind of devices. Again, interfaces, SPI, I2S, PWM, PCI Express, USB, like big boy interfaces alongside the true embedded interfaces. So, one example device is this little guy here, it's the, well, it's this guy. This is like wildly popular and people have been using this for their own projects and realistically, if you're only producing, say, a hundred of something, it really doesn't make sense to go for a full custom, you know, why so class board? Because these things are expensive in small volumes and manufacturing is a bit difficult. I'll touch on that in a bit as well. So, this guy is, he can be buy this for around 15 pounds, it's very cheap. And it's based on the Qualcomm Atheros AR9331. Actually, this ship is sold, it was just Atheros back then, but Qualcomm then both Atheros. If you look at the components inside this, it's the YSOC itself, the AR9331, just here. On top there, you can see the RAM. It's an external DDR memory. And the other red rectangle over there is the SPI flash. So, really, you have three main chips and some YSOCs even come with embedded storage and embedded RAM as well. But you're probably much better off just adding external components because the kind of on-die or on-package, sorry, RAM and storage are generally fairly small. And aside from that, it's just the usual like Ethernet, Jag, USB, power circuitry and all that stuff. So, these devices are designed to be integrated in very high-volume applications with very low bomb costs. Now, unfortunately, this is not like the Atmega328. You can't just go to RS, Peter's here. So, if you can, you can't just go to RS and buy a single concierge of these things. You can source these from questionable supplies. So, I got this from a market vendor in Shenzhen or you can go to AliExpress and order these things. But the problem is these are, it's a dual-row QFN with 140 or somewhat odd pins. So, you can't really do much with them. And even though you're really good at soldering or you had the setup to manufacture boards with this, they require a certain specific manufacturing step which is called the factory and calibration process.  So, really for like producing boards at home or small quantities, these are terrible to work with. But at the same time, if you're doing any commercial projects with these, they're great because, again, the bomb cost is very low and these are very capable devices. So, there is a solution to this though. So, if you're manufacturing, say, a couple of thousand of these things, it's very easy. You go find a factory that is geared up to do the factory calibration, etc. And they can just turn out boards. This is very easy. But if you're manufacturing very small to kind of medium scale, you go with these modules or actually on the top right corner, that's inside of the TP-Link thing here.  And when you buy these, they will have already have gone through the factory and calibration process. And you can just integrate these into your products. And also, some of these companies are actually now realizing the potential for doing medium scale runs for companies who are not set up to manufacture with these kind of devices as well. So, you could go with the module-based approach and these modules are very cheap, by the way. You can develop your prototype and even small quantity manufacturing can be based on these. And then once you reach a certain scale, it might make sense to go and talk to these companies and say, hey, can you produce a couple hundred for me? And then once you reach thousands, you can just go and find a factory that will do this for you. And that's the hardware part of the talk. We're now going to talk a bit about, or rather Ivan is going to talk a bit about the OpenWRT side of things. And yeah, so let's switch over. Okay, so my name is Ivan and today I'm going to talk about OpenWRT and specifically I'm going to focus on which benefits some of the advantages that using OpenWRT can bring to developing new IoT products. First question is how many of you have used OpenWRT before? Okay, so what is OpenWRT? It's an embedded Linux distribution that you can customize for OpenWRT development environment, which is a self-contained environment that also includes cross-compilation tool chains, generate cross-compilation tool chains as well as root file systems. It's available for a lot of architecture and it has great support for a lot of packages. So the good thing is that most of those packages come with some patches, so some of these packages have been patched for architectures they have problem with. So these are great advantages instead of using your try to take your desktop Linux distribution into unembedded systems.  This is the main OpenWRT configuration interface where you can select features and most of Linux hackers can recognize this interface since the OpenWRT menu config is based on the Linux and you can click on it. And you can select functionalities in the target system for instance here we select the ARNF321 which is the SOHC for the TP-Link board on my top before. Yeah this one and we can also select the profile for specific for this board that will pick up the right device tree. So the software is in dividing categories and you can easily include that just using new space it will put a store like the Linux channel exit and build and you will have a finger image with all the custom software there. So you can also compile your own software on OpenWRT it's quite easy to do what you need to do basically is write an OpenWRT Mac file for the package you want to build. This is an example for an award that basically this will override the combination variables of your Mac file like cc and cflux and we'll use the right key compiler. So there is also a good support for several interpreters such as Erlang, Java, P2P, Python and so on. So one of the main issues when you develop an embedded Linux environment an embedded Linux product is dealing with the configuration files. For instance for the configuration files of all the programs running on your distribution. For instance if you want to configure some functionality at runtime let's say you have a web interface and you want to to adapt some configuration files based on the user input you need to basically parse those files and in order to match the format it's quite a bit tricky. So OpenWRT solves this problem in a very elegant way called UCLA. Basically it's a unified configuration interface that unifies all the files in a single folder and all those configuration files will have the same syntax. So basically you know it will be easier to configure your software. Even if it was mainly created for the OpenWRT software there are no bindings for 30-part programs as well so they have been made compatible with the UCI as well. So this is a syntax for UCI configuration files and we can see an example here. This is a network configuration file where you basically can configure the interface with a look back. You can have a specific interface, a protocol, a PR address, a network, same for LAN. You have the internet interface and so on. This is another example. This is a system configuration file where you can specifically install the hostname, the term the list of entity servers you want to use and choose if you want to enable that feature or not. So UCI, even if you can configure the UCI configuration files using your own editor that is not practical when you want to do that through a script. So for this reason there is a command line utility that allows you to modify the entries in the configuration files such as in the reverse if something went wrong and commit to definitely when everything is okay in the hash. Thank you. So another issue in developing a medelinks product is when you want to know the status of, general status of your system if you want for instance know which IP address your internet interface has or the uptime or many other things what you need to do. Basically it's parsing the output of if config or think about you want to retrieve a list of wireless network available. You need to parse like a unwconfig, unwpsli, that can be quite complicated besides the error problem. So UBAS is basically a demo where the demo registers and they set their functions, their namespaces and the functionalities and the procedures that they provide. This is the command line tool for UBAS. We will see probably list and call. With a list you can list all the namespaces registered inside UBAS. So for instance you can read your role, you can also configure UCI and in case you want to know more information about your line interface you can install the procedures available for the line interface and you can bring that up and down and you can even get the status. The best thing is that the communication happens in JSON format. So you need you get basically information in that format which is much nicer to parse since it is also unified. So UBAS is the way to go if you want to reduce your custom software to the UBAS. And there are also bindings for UBAS and it is also possible to expose shell scripts and functionalities in UBAS. Other examples can be found in OpenWRT-VT. Another important very nice feature is the UBAS plugin for HTTP which is the OpenWRT web server. So basically that plugin allows you to call UBAS functionality over HTTP with the JSON LPC specification. So you basically have to do an authentication. You can use the the user in your system, in your new system. You authenticate with username password, you get a token, you use the token to perform UBAS operations in UBAS. So this can be really nice for instance let's say you want to retrieve over all the Wi-Fi networks available from your the access point you are developing or your new T-Product right and you get a list already formatted in JSON without parsing anything or writing any CGI or PHP back-end right. So when we got if you want to get sort with OpenWRT you can use the main trying tree that is the development tree. So it might be a stable and useful if you need some functionalities that are not in the stable tree or some SOC that is not in the stable tree and it has been recently added and it is not in the stable tree. And the stable tree right now is a cost calmer and you can just scroll the repo, read the read me and you are ready to start. And that's it. Thank you.


This is going to be the final video where we get our game in Python speaking to us via a text-to-speech engine. Similarly to how we did that in Scratch where we use the text-to-speech engine and we've got some available blocks. This is going to be the trickiest tutorial because I can only hold your hand so far. It's going to be up to you to install some things on your machine. I can't possibly be there for you, but I know that you've got this. So let's get stuck into it and get our game speaking to us. Music Hey crew, it's The Surfing Scratcher here, teacher-surfer programmer and on this channel I help curious learners just like you along on your learning journeys. Welcome back to our From Scratch to Python series where we created a game in Scratch and we're translating across to Python so we can get some familiarity with a text-based programming language. The first thing that you'll need to do is jump across to Google and Google this PyTT-SX3. I'll leave a link down below in the description, but we want to click on the first result and that will take us to this page here which is the text-to-speech engine that we're going to be using. We're going to come back to this page to install it but for now we're just going to scroll down and you can have a read of the project description there and we're more interested in this usage. So what we're going to do is implement the code first and then we're going to install it. The reason for that is we can't use it on Replet. We have to install it locally on our machines and I'll walk you through that process midway through the video. But for now, in this block here where it says usage, let's copy all of these four lines. I've just highlighted it, command C or control C on A windows. Let's go back to Replet. Okay so back here in Replet we're at the top of the file in our main.py file. I'm just going to paste those three lines there. You'll see the first one of those lines is this import pyttsx3. So we're importing that library into our file here and that's going to give us access to all the functions that we can use. Okay now we've got these next three lines here. I'm actually just going to cut those lines because we don't want to use them here but we do want to use them. So let's cut those lines and I want you to find the function in here that is our say word block because that'll be the first function where we will implement our text-to-speech. Okay so I've gone down here and I found our say word function and there is our to do comment to implement the text-to-speech. So I'm just going to give ourselves a little bit of space and paste those three lines. I'll fix up the indentation there just by pressing the tab. So let's just go through these lines line by line. So we've got engine. Engine is just a local variable inside this function and we're assigning pyttsx3.init and all this is doing is just initializing the text-to-speech engine. Okay and we're storing a reference to it in this engine variable. Then what we can do is call this say function on the engine and we will save some text here. Now I'm going to replace this text because we don't want to say that text. We want to say the word that we pass into here. All right we're assuming that this word is equal to a string. The last thing that we do is on the engine we call run and wait and this function starts the voice speaking to us on the screen. It will say what that word is, it will run it and we will wait until it's finished. What I'd like you to do now is copy those three lines and in the say sentence function just beneath it we're going to paste those lines there as well. The only thing we're going to change is instead of word we're going to say the sentence. The last place we'll need to implement our text-to-speech engine is in the ask the user to spell a block because we're going to clear the console so the user can no longer see the word on the screen but then we need to speak the word and that's why in previous tutorials we inserted this word parameter and now we can just paste that in there because we want to say the word. Now just before we move along I'm just going to jump around and I'm going to reduce our delay here from four to one second because when I run this before the run and wait block it can take a little bit of time so we won't necessarily need that delay there anymore. Okay the last thing that we need to do in our project here is scroll all the way to the bottom and just under our start spelling function definition we need to also start spelling so I put this in here and it needs to be on the level of indentation on the first level so no indentation here you can see that we've got a line running down from the depth of the function and it needs to be on that level if it's one level in it's going to be inside start spelling and this would be a recursive function so we need to be out here and the reason we do this is because when we run the Python file we execute it in the command line or the command prompt we need to call this function to start our game so this is pretty much the same thing as when the green flag is clicked in scratch I'm just going to scroll back up here back to our ask user to spell word and you'd notice that we've got this line of code and we're kind of repeating it here so something that you could do is wherever you see code duplication like this it's a good call for a function or a good timer opportunity to make a function to wrap all this code but we'll press on with the tutorial and it's as simple as that that is how we're going to implement our text to speech engine the problem is we can't run it in replet we don't have the browser capability to be able to use text to speech with this library I tried it a couple of times I couldn't get it working so we're going to have to do it on our machines so let's take you through the installation process of Python and pip and the text to speech engine okay what you will need to do now is depending on whether you're on Linux Windows or a Mac machine you'll need to open up your command prompt on a Mac that is terminal and I'm just going to open up what's called item here so there we go I've got my command prompt open and I'm inside my directory now to see if Python's installed you just need to type Python 3 dash dash version and you'll see if you've got a Python version here that will be all good this will be referencing the main installation or the system installation of Python but if you don't see Python here then you'll need to install it let's go back over to the browser to show you how to do that okay so we're just over here in Google I've just typed in installpython you can download the latest version of Python from the python.org website and it will take you through a package installation of Python for any of those so that's a really quick way to go and install Python on your machine if you scroll down I like the guide that is by realpython and this guide just goes through the steps of installation on all the different machines and a couple of different ways to go about it what you do here is just choose the machine that you're working on and go through the installation setup now back over here in Google there's a link to how to install Python the smart way and what this is referring to is creating a virtual environment for Python what this means is that it will create like a copy of the Python like a clone of it if we're talking about scratch language and place that clone inside of a folder so we're not messing around with the main version of Python on our system and we might do that is so that we don't run into conflicts down the track when the Python version gets upgraded so if you're interested in that I check out this how to install Python the smart way and it will take you to this article okay so now when you type in Python 3-version you should get a version of Python and there's something else that we need to check that you have installed and the way that you're going to do it is type Python 3-m and we're going to be referring to pip here which is a package install of a Python and press dash dash version so make sure that you have got it installed here if you don't have pip installed you could use homebrew to install it or you can check out this link here and it's down in the description you can bootstrap it by just copying and pasting this code on the device that you are working on okay I'm assuming that you've got pip now installed either using homebrew or through using this command prompt now let's go back to our Python text-to-speech engine page okay I'm back here on the Python text-to-speech engine page and what you'll need to do is copy this link up the top now pip install py ttsx3 let's just copy that to the clipboard and head back over to our command prompt now I'm going to paste that into our command prompt and what this will do it's going to tell pip to install this library hit enter and you'll get a whole bunch of output here so I've already got this library installed you'll see that the requirement already is satisfied but it might take a little bit longer for you to do this now you should have that Python text-to-speech engine installed now let's head back to replet okay we're back over here in replet and the stage is set we've got the text-to-speech engine installed we've installed Python now all we need to do is run it on our machine the way that we're going to do that is head over to the files button here and press the three little dots in line on the same bar as the files not just on the main.py okay we're going to download this whole package as a zip now that'll be in your downloads folder or another location that you specified we can head back over to the command prompt cool so I'm over here in my downloads folder and I can press a command called cd which stands for change directory now over here on a Mac I can locate where that spelling game is and I can drag and drop to get the file path of where it is you can just type this in manually as well but I'm not going to do that so I'm going to delete main.py and we're going to just go to the file extension for where that spelling game is and then we'll press enter cool so now we're in the spelling game folder cool and the last thing that we need to do is run the Python program so we can just type Python3 main.py and as I hit enter with any luck we will be able to start to play our game with the text-to-speech engine all right let's do it dash should she try to make a dash for the car dash okay then we type in the word press enter bath and we get our next word take a nice warm bath and relax for a while bath okay so as you can see there there are some delays between going from the text that's on the screen and the text-to-speech engine so you might want to go back into that Python project and modify some of those sleep values to your preference that's it you have just completely translated a scratch project into a Python3 project congratulations that ends the coding component to this series in the next video we're going to check out some refactoring we're just going to go and revise a few things that we've done and I want to show you where you can go to next what are some resources out there if you are pretty interested in Python and you want to continue your Python journey so I look forward to catching you in that video but until next time I'm off to go find a wave I'll catch you in the next one


The Herriot Way is a 52 mile circular route through some of the most beautiful scenery the UK has to offer. Join me as I navigate the rolling hills, rivers, towns and valleys of the quaint and spectacular Yorkshire Dales. Morning. Morning glampers. Welcome to day two of the Herriot Way. Mate, what's the point in having a tent sometimes? It's dripping. Look at this. What is the point? See that? That's just water.   It ain't rained outside but it is sodden. I'm going to say it's probably the worst condensation I've had to deal with in my whole camping life. My sleeping bag is soaking. Just, I know it's just the time of year and there's not much you can do. Look at it. Maybe I could use it to have a wash I guess. It just makes it just a little bit harder doesn't it for like, because everything's wet now. Oh well, I have to deal with it. I don't know. Single wall tents. What you're gonna do?  Right, let's get up and see what these dares to offer.  Glorious. My hands are freezing. Oh, I'm freezing. Right, let's get this packed away man. There we are. Leave no trace. How do I get off of this wall? And we're off. Absolutely freezing mate. Mid-digits. I have to put you away in a second. Oh, freezing. Everything soaked. It's one of them where it's got me questioning even my own hobbies. Not doing much filming at the moment because it is bitingly cold and it's really windy so it's probably not picking anything up. It is glorious though. I'm on the Pennine Way. We follow this Pennine Way. I think it's about six and a half miles to the next town or village. It's going to be a big day today. This morning I had me questioning my own hobbies. Like, what am I doing? What am I doing? I'm lying to bed. There's like a constant stream of water falling on my face. My fingers are freezing. I was thinking, what do I do this? I choose to do this. It's just the hardships in it. It's just them hardships man. That's what makes it... That's why I love doing stuff like this is it's not easy. You don't have it all your own way. It just makes me appreciate a lot of things. Like not getting dripped on while I'm trying to sleep. How deep is it? No. What is it? Basically a puddle. It's a puddle. That's my path. Up there. The fog's rolling in now. You can't see I'm off up to the top of there. I'm at the top of that plateau there and then I was going to camp on the next one down. So I put a bit of a shift in. I just sort of thought I was getting my head down and get over these top. I can't even... You only get locked door because it's cold. I've got all that going on. They've put some of these flags down. You lose them occasionally and then hit a bit of bog and there's nothing you can do there. I've got my feet wet but I don't mind that it's quite refreshing. These white dumpy bags are sort of leading the way through the mist, acting as their own sort of kens. I was hoping for some good views up here but Mother Nature's saying keep it. She's saying keep it. Have this fog. Deal with this. There we are. Rest bite from the wind.  I can't stop for too long because I've got miles to do and also it'll get cold. No. Phew. Phew. We're on the top of Great Shunner Fell at the moment. They didn't have views. There's a bit of rest bite from that wind and that's nice. I'm heading towards Thwait and hopefully that I'll have a little cafe somewhere so I can get a hot drink and if that doesn't have out then they'll keep batting on to Keld. The aim is just to wild camp but even though tents just a big odd soggy lobster's bum bag at moment. You can't win man. You can't win with condensation because you need more material to stop the condensation because you need like the like the hillyburgers and the pioneer too. You need them sort of caps over the top and loads of so that the air can vent out and the rain can't get in and then just a ton of mesh. I don't think you can.  I was dreaming that it was raining into it. I was like oh I'm in my mind. I was like it's all right. It's just coming through mesh. It's raining through the mesh into my face. Not good enough.  I've got five minutes here and then we're plod on. Goodbye refuge. Oh no look at this. Come on guys. I got you little rays of sunshine coming through. Get that for a cane. There's a cane. I was just that. Come down this valley over here and we're going to go round in. I think we start to drop down here and round. I'm hoping that these clouds clear up. Great Shuna fell is the third highest mountain in the Yorkshire Dales and the highest point in Wensleydale and on this route. The Penine Way passes over its summit on the way from Horses to Keld. The popularity of this route is eroded vegetation from a strip 70 meters wide across the moor which has been elevated since 1996 by the construction of a flagstone path. Sun just poked its head through. My digits are starting to warm up now and the wind's died down. Now I'm on this side. Now I'm on this side of hills. It's less gusty. Now I'm ready for a coffee and whatever other delights I can find. I don't think weight has got much going on in there but we'll bat onto Keld and then refuel. There we go. Back in a little gate country. All right lads. Here we are look. Bit of bail band. Onto it loop. Onto it hook. Smashed into a bit of wood. This is it. It does trick doesn't it? Spot on then. Just passed through Thwaite. There was a cafe but it didn't open until 11 and there's only quarter to 10 so sack it and we'll bat onto Keld so about three three and a half miles to Keld. Hopefully we can get some refreshments there but we've put a shift in. We've maybe done about seven miles and it's not even 10 o'clock yet so we're on track for a good day. I've had to take coat off and do leg vents from coming up here man. It's hot. Look at this. Just onto that bit of wire though. Fair do's. Taking refuge behind this wall out of the wind. The wind's picked up again. I've just been looking at my maps and my guidebook. That's the guidebook for anyone who fancies it. I'll leave a link for it below. And I'm looking on the map and I can go down here and there's a little place with an alehouse and stuff called Muka where I could get refreshments, fill me water. I don't have any water left. I could fill me water up and then take the lowland valley through on the way to Wreith and I think I'm going to do that instead of going over this top which reading the guidebook it says it's quite bleak and it's quite open to the elements and quite boggy so I'm going to sack that off and I'm going to take the lowland through this valley and it looks delightful though as I'm looking at it now all the green pastures in the sunshine and then I'll keep heading on and hopefully get to Wreith at some point this evening which has got several pubs shops and the lot and do you know what because it's my holiday and we're wet tense in here if there's an alehouse and it's a reasonable price I'm getting in it and I'm also going to have a pint of Timmy Taylor's if I've got it if I've got Timmy Taylor's or I've got black sheep on I'm having it I'm going to have a few pints I'm going to keep there for night and that's giving me a a goal and I'm excited about it and that's the beauty of these trips as I've said many a time you just make it up as you go make it up as you go if you want a wild camp wild camp if you want to stay somewhere stay somewhere let it just unfold as it should right so now I'm going to head down here to a place called mucka and see what they've got to offer the earliest recording evidence of occupation in and around mucka and that's what I'm calling it I don't know if you pronounce it like that but I'm calling it mucka takes the form of a skeleton found with flints on mucka common in the early 20th century details suggest a burial of bronze age day the name mucka is of Norse origin derived from the old Norse me your akka meaning the narrow newly cultivated field is a proper sheep proper dale sheep there's so much karma in this valley you don't have a biting wind the only thing about being down at the valley is I'm assuming when I go through these fields it's going to be very gate heavy it's just them little gates that don't have latches and locks on them they're just and it's a real thin little effort to get through I'm feeling good got myself a soup and a sandwich look you think where's your mama oh are you all right darling hello hello okay it leads to nothing oh mate this is it I'm going to have to get wet feet here right damage limitation is the name of the game here it's not a case of if I stack it it's when there's no way I'm getting across here without wet feet let's see if we can not get the trousers wet as well see this is what happens when you're trying when you're making it open coming off the beaten track this is what happens I just can't see a route through this man not without I'll keep going I'll try it's slippy I'll try not to get wet feet I'm not going to do it I'm a I'm going to have to do it I'm going to have to just get in sod it he's doing it oh that's no no don't don't look at me don't look at me I'll make sure our well oh it's deep deeper than she looks slippy oh and it's crawled on shin bones this is exciting right here well a bit of vegetable soup in me now look at me think I'm bare grills I'm going for it oh sorry yes did it man my cross there you go that wasn't too bad was it river crossing now have I shot myself a foot here I think I might have shot myself in foot the track I need is up there and I'm down here dealing with rivers and walls with no gates in them now I want a gate I've left the Pennine way and I've now joined up to the coast to coast which is delightful there's so much going on you've got they're not fruit yet but there's got wild strawberries wood violets dandelion primrose wild garlic sorrel ah it's a banquet mentha aquatica water mint such a lovely smell medic as well as a shit ton of gates there was also a lot of barns like every field had a barn in it so I did a little bit of research and and this is what I found the parish of mucka has hundreds of small field barns or cowhouses as they're known here they formed a unique style of farming which probably started in the 17th century and continued on into living memory milk from the cows provided an important income for farmers especially when it was turned into cheese and butter wintering up a swale dale is harsh so the cattle were brought in around November and tied up in these little cowhouses they were fed from here stored next to them cut from the surrounding fields and in spring the cows were out to graze on the hillside pastures the muck from the cowhouses was spreading to the meadows to help grow new seasons here excuse me thank you thin how thin that is man barely fits my leg in it look a real squeeze through it bag on it's still very windy down here I've just passed a sign that says three and a half mile to reef well since it's the same here I'm off for a fight whoa no nearly that I have to go for a wide boil up whatever UK garage banters a bit of shit and I'm sorry for that what can you do you can't always bring the game look at this though walking on this wall just taking on some road work at the meadow at the moment it shot me onto the road to be batting down here for a bit but cars are going quick I'm just reporting in to say that there's not to report I've just skimmed a few stones did a few good skimmers if that's if that's of interest to all you hiking fans I've just had a I've just I've just nearly stacked it if that's of any interest to all you camping and hiking gurus following this river has just been a pure delight mate it's been glorious just ambling down here and I'm fully in the in the swing of it now I've had a lot going on at moment I've got a lot of things coming up and I've got to move and there's a lot coming up anyway and then I find that when I'm when I've got a lot on me play I have me jaw just like I don't realize it but I just like I clench my jaw and all my neck tights I'm like thinking too much about things I've got to do whereas this little bodgy I don't mind that's not them other little ones we're doing my nappering that's all right today especially we're just walking down here by this river my brain's finally switched off I've just done about two or three hours though without realizing it just my jaw is relaxed my neck is relaxed my mind is relaxed I'm just like just hiking I'm just in the moment and I'm hiking because it's been a long day so I'm pretty tired and it my mind isn't able to worry or stress or plan or do anything like that because it's just it's tired it's all hands on deck so it could just sort of switch off it's like a zombie almost but in a good way and that is one of the reasons why I love doing this is getting to that sweet spot of tiredness where everything else just washes away because you don't have you haven't got the you know they haven't got the privilege of having to worry because you're just nacked so you're just like whatever will be will be and I'm in that zone so I've not been chatting much maybe shy of 30 but we're up there doing a quite a fair trek I think damage report all good just like the usual wearing tearing thigh in thighs and then that's it I'm absolutely fine and looking forward to getting to wreath wreath of franklin to see what delights she's got to offer again I'm just gonna switch off mate and I don't want these hiking videos to be me just constantly trying to justify my decisions as to why I'm not wild camping because that's just how it is mate what I'm thinking I could I could get to wreath and then I could bat on and pitch up up top in wind knowing that it's going to be pissing it down tomorrow and set up this wet tent and get in my wet sleeping bag and just do nothing and that's it or maybe I've one of me uh freeze-dried meals that I've had loads of already sick of them not on this trip but on all other trips I could do that I could and I'm sure it would make for a better video you know people want to see me in me tent well a lot of people do anyway but I out here me first comes my adventure comes first and then if a video materializes from it and it's good so be it but doing all that getting it wet sleeping bag like that right now and I think about that just that sleeping bag up I'm like not for me that one it doesn't give me excitement but going to try and find a b&b or an alehouse or something like that to get tucked into and then a pint of whatever's on offer and some food that just fills me with excitement and joy and that's what it's about and so that's what I've got to do don't judge me see you later here's wreath it's got a couple of ale houses it's only a small village but it packs a wallop as far as amenities go spent some time it's sad or like but it's going to be good to dismount and get just get me back off and chill out I'm only gonna have an ale if they've got some at special on I'm not going to bend the elbow for any old beer not enough water just filled one bottle up at that tea room and that's lasted me all day just been sipping at it I'm well thirsty so it's dangerous in it get yourself a pint never here's a top tip for you that I very rarely use but never quench your thirst with booze especially with pints because they're just we go down like a granny on a frosty morning just straight down cutting the dust next get yourself a pint of water this is me you I'm telling you but really I'm just reaffirming it to myself get myself a pint of water first then make a then decide reef this way here we go look follow these two oh it's nice in reef mate that wind doesn't seem to be as windy in reef it's beautiful oh do you know what mate that's it man get you selling beer garden in it look at it I'm gonna find a beer garden I'm gonna find some beer let's go this for a slice of heaven man ice cream parlor whether that is post office the black bull ale house the king's arms ale house what's that the book looks like an ale house I'm having it as an ale house right the book looks the nicest because it's in the sun that's got all scaffolding on it so that's not really doing out for me the amenities are just too much I'm malfunctioning I'm glitching I'm staying here whoa I'm glitching right I'm staying here let's get tucked in morning we're up and at them I've left reef in the rearview mirror yeah I managed to get a pint in the beer garden which was lovely and I had a little bite to eat which was I mean I am gonna like there's three or four pubs or whatever in places you can drink and eat in reef so I'm not going to throw them under the bus because they're all just small independent businesses so I don't want to slay them because it wasn't their fault my guess but that was the more I had a meal and it was suck it was comically bad it's so comically bad that it went full circle and became good and I enjoyed it for like the sheer how mad it was and how bad it was I ended up enjoying it so can't grumble I'll give you an idea I might cut this out but because if it's too harsh I don't want them to suffer because they were lovely and stuff but the meal I thought I fancy just like some light like a little starter tempura king prawns with like a sweet chilli dip in sauce was on the menu I was like that sounds that sounds nice I love that and they came out and they were just basically what it was you know crab sticks it was basically crab sticks in pastry to look like a parsnip with a sachet of cheap like chilli sauce and I was like and I thought you know what I gave up to it I surrendered to it because there's no point in being unhappy is it sending it back and be like however what the fur everyone's trying to do the best in life and I just was like if it was a little bit shit I would have maybe you said something but because it was just so mad and bonkers I just thought you know what I found my people I'm having it anyway so I yammed it down and that was wonderful I don't know the night but this morning I had a lovely breakfast and then I'm off heading towards Asgar Falls to my van which is mad because I'm gonna be coming I'll be coming at my van from the opposite direction as I left it and that's circular hiking for you guys his forecast to piss it down today so I don't know mate this one and I haven't really been bringing the chats on this one but I've been enjoying it rough up there over tops I don't know what to expect I've plotted it I've plotted the route in myself with a few little detours and and whatever it's not the I don't think it's the same as the normal route ready that's where I had my pint in that white house there the village green there's wreath I'm gonna get off onto the moorland and we're gonna head over the moor my guts are done in from there I think from them temporary prawns it's done me in I don't feel too clever what's them geese swans geese geese medic there's actually too many medics I'm having to there's too many you the cat I love a good medic as much as the next man slash woman but it's too much it's too much I can't take it oh my god I'm sorry I keep looking out for cars and that do you know what this is it on this one you know like I always look for signs and stuff on my hikes what's it teaching me what you know what I've got to learn on this hike and this is a this is it it's overdosed me with gates and locks and latches overdosed me with it to the point where I'm like oh not another one and it's done same with medics just one after other too much too much and what there's signs and it's saying have you had enough I think I might then if that's if that's the signs it's like I think I might need to just chill out a little bit stop hiking so much I mean let's get today out way first before we make any rash decisions but I'm definitely thinking I need a break from it I've planned on doing quite a lot of long distance hikes coming up like it's the season isn't it but the signs of like I mean I'm going to unpack this nearer the end the moment the signs are saying it's just too much it is I mean what it's funny when you see a summer and you're like medic it's kind of funny and it's good to look at good latches and locks and that but you can't just do it all time can you need a break from stuff or it's just not funny anymore now is it keep going do more double down I should only be known as the guy who does gates and medics he's been nuts on many there's been I just think maybe it's the universe trying to say like just chill out mate because I just I was I was coming up there I'm seeing like animals inside at road I'm getting my camera out going medic and then I did one and I was like this is it's done now isn't it you can't keep doing it maybe do it once in a while as a little treat but no you can't keep you can't keep replaying same old thing so we're evolved ever evolving it's like with beer reviews and then I used to do beer reviews a lot and then people I stopped doing them people like I'll bring back the beer reviews no we're evolving and then when you do if you do it it's like a little nod back in it it's refreshing and it's good so I think we're gonna we're gonna mix it up stay tuned for my makeup and cooking channel I'm dizzy I out well I'm not well in noodle or it belly they build these for grouse quick scoop with digger beer tarpaulin mosh rain water will do it rest and then grouse can just drink from it God it's a crazy day man it's doing everything it's just but the overriding thing is this wind I've had to put my head up because it's blazing into my ears and give me a rick I'm having to rethink my whole life we're not going to stop doing medic's are we out gates do more absolutely leaning into it rinse it over that next valley ah boggles fresh boggles that's feet wet you see the clouds darkening up behind me temperatures dropped and I won't be surprised if I get wet do what you want do what you want mate because end the end is over there the end is just over that ridge I think not even used me walking poles yet I don't think I will so it is quite an easy trek so if you're new to hiking or you just want to get yourself like a nice two night three day four day hike I recommend this I recommend the Harriet way it's got just a nice little mix of tiny little villages rolling hills woodland it's like a it's a nice it's a really good one to showcase the dales because it's a circular route you just leave your car in car park 17 pound 50 for a week and do it over four or five days mate if you want take your time staying some hotel pubs or just crush it out in two and a half days it's up to you but it's definitely worth it's definitely worth it if you especially if you live around here in Yorkshire it's an often overlooked hike uh finally dropped down off the tops and out of that wind castle Bolton castle Bolton sounds like some are off game of thrones doesn't it Bolton castle is a stark and imposing medieval fortress at the entrance to Wensleydale begun by Richard Le Scrope in 1378 Scrope was Lord Treasurer and Lord Chancellor to Richard II and one of the most powerful men in late 14th century England head medic medic medic medic car park's just down here gonna be a wash with bluebells all right so cool coming back into car park from another direction mate this feels good and that was a lovely little adventure it was only three days nothing too wild as I say the perfect little uh like if you're just getting into wild camping and hiking it's a perfect little loop hike I tell you what I won't be sad to see them where actually am I I'm not sad to see back at them little snappy gates either they can keep it for a little bit at the beginning I'm all like oh they're brilliant we'll get them we'll film them and by end of it mate if you're coming on this hike prepare for a lot of little snappy gates a lot of death there's a lot of death on this one guys I need to go have a bath just real real hide me chakras there I am back in car park beautiful little like oh it's got a tea shop I'm gonna get me some a brew thanks for joining me on this one I'll leave you in the capable hands of future me for map time I have water now welcome to the final map time everybody's favourite time I woke up here soggy as you like off we trot and we're following the penine way so it's a bit it's a pretty good track there's plenty of flags being put down you occasionally lose them and get a bit of a bog foot but compared to how it was back in the day it's pretty good on we go to the summit of great shunna fell that's where I sat and had a bit of rest bike from the wind and we go past this huge cairn some lovely views over thwait and the valley from up here and lovely walking once I got past this cairn down the side of this hill I was sheltered out of the wind as I came down here which was a joy along we go over this ford along and then we hit the road into thwait there is a tea shopping thwait but it doesn't open till 11 o'clock the penine way and the coast to coast and the period where all passed through a so it's a good place to get a brew and some refreshments if it's past 11 o'clock but it won't so on I went over these fields back into gate country we are a bit of an elevation up here and this is where the weather changed man it came it became sunny but the wind picked up as well as I started to ascend up here you can see the elevation line so it is getting pretty steep as we go up here and this is where the wind was getting a bit too much I had to look up my map let's just zoom out for you so instead of going up here and round I went down cut through the valley just to get out of that wind down I come I'm going to call it mucka I don't know what you call it mucka but I'm calling it mucka mucka now there's a pub there's a tea room and a shop here so a very good place to stock up on I went and because because I've made this up I had to do a little river crossing you can see this river here so I had to get a bit I had to get a bit of a sog on across here but that's all part of the adventure and on I go back into gate country man there was lots of little gates along here but glorious hiking by the river swale and it was lovely to be hiking the same path that I took when I did the coast to coast through gunner side there's also a pub here I'm not sure if it's open full time but it wasn't open when I passed it through more gates and I just lost myself along here man I won't do much filming I was just in real noodle just happily ambling along following the river I mean onto the road but there's like a little woodland at the side of the road with the path on it so you don't have to be on the actual road it's quite a nice little walk actually follow that along off you come up onto this wall here and around and into glorious wreath I stopped for your freshments and I stopped for the night in wreath up bright and early and fueled by a full english off you go you follow this road around there's a quite a nice little bridge here over the bridge and then we're back off back onto the road again then there's a path at the side of the road it looks like it's road work but it's not there's a little path up onto this road here very quiet no cars passed me as I was coming up here and lovely views back over wreath and where I'd come from and then we leave the road onto open moorland it's a lot of grouse shooting along here little hides for grouse little water baths for grouse down we come there's we're like a hunting lodge or something down here had a little look through windows now going on carry on wind had really picked up by the time I got around here so I was glad to drop down into castle balton through castle balton and past balton castle come off the road and you start to descend through these fields through a little woodland through this farm skirt around this woodland and you keep coming you could stop down here for a brew or a meal or whatever there's a pub there that's does coffee and whatnot but I chose not to but down the side of these houses through these fields through this little woodland and you're back back to the vad and what a journey as I said before this is the perfect little hike for people just starting out in multi-day hiking there's plenty of options to stay at pubs and there's plenty of decent while camping spots as well so you could take your time and do it over four or five days or you could just crank it out in two days and just spend one night camping it's completely up to you so yeah I hope I showcase the Yorkshire Dales for you and I hope I've maybe even inspired you to take on the Harriet way yourselves there we go right I appreciate all the comments thanks so much for watching and I'll see you on the next one bye for now
