Day 4 to N67º03 x W52º38
Drying out at one of the huts
We got rained on only once, but it was a killer––ten hours of downpour, observed restlessly from the tent, before deciding we couldn’t bear to wait it out. We spent a while strategizing how to cook breakfast and break down our camp most dryly and efficiently, but of course we were soaked through upon departure. Fortunately, the hut we hoped to make by evening was upon us by mid-afternoon, but the last hundred yards involved a rushing river crossing that had me going face-first into the water. In the end, the hut made everything better––a Greenlandic family was already hunkered down, the kerosene stove roaring. They kindly cleared space on the clothesline and pretended not to be grossed out while I bandaged the foot I’d sliced up on the sharp rocks from the river. We learned later that the mother was a superstar athlete––an annual competitor in Greenland’s grueling Arctic Circle X-C ski race––and felt a bit sheepish about our drenched and sorry state. We ended up staying all afternoon and evening, reading Tolstoy, drinking whiskey, and eating chocolate.
Day 5 to N66º59 x W52º21
One of the last cairns we'd see on Day 5
On this afternoon we missed a cairn and climbed steeply up a hunting trail, surprising a mother duck who did an elaborate pantomime of wounded flight to distract us from her vulnerable ducklings. Realizing our wayfinding mistake, but refusing to go all the way down again only to climb the ridge elsewhere, we decided to plunge ahead with the map as our guide, following a river and then a shoreline with the intention of meeting up with the trail again by evening. It was sort of an unwise improvisation, but it paid off in one of my favorite moments of the hike. Bushwhacking through dwarf willow, swatting helplessly at bugs, I thought I spotted a cairn very high on a ridge. It was too soon to be the trail, but we climbed up to it anyway, discovering that it was much longer and lower than the other piles of rock. Gazing out at an incredible view––the lake spread out towards the horizon, birds diving from the edge of the rocky bluff––I realized that it was a grave. The National Museum in Nuuk had mentioned how, for centuries, the Inuit buried their dead under stones, and always at the mouths of rivers or overlooking large bays. This fit that description exactly, and although I would see a number of such graves in the weeks after, none was as haunting––or with a view as breathtaking––as this one.
Day 7 to N66º55 x W51º31
Paddling on Day 7
There is one leg of the hike where you can cheat magnificently. There are eight or so canoes on one of the long glacial lakes that the Arctic Circle Trail traces for a good 15 miles. Because everyone for some reason hikes the trail going the other way, the boats tend to pile up at the west end of the lake. We hit this point on Day 7––shoulders and calves screaming, sick of walking, desperate for any other possible mode of transport. Seeing the aluminum canoes shining from atop a ridge was great, but the paddling itself was even better. We stowed our bags between the gunwales an slipped into the glassy water. For part of the afternoon the surface was so still that the reflection of mountains and clouds was eerily exact––it was so impossible to tell up from down that it felt like we were paddling through the sky. We camped on an isolated spit on the far end of the lake and listened to the loons call back and forth all evening.

งานให้กับหมาก็หายากขึ้น แต่ มีอาชีพหนึ่งที่ทำเป็นดีสำหรับตัวเอง
นั่นคือนักสืบหมา หมาเป็นผู้ตรวจสอบที่สมบูรณ์แบบ เหตุเพราะพวกมันสามารถเข้าบ้านได้ง่ายและก็สามารถดมได้ดูเหมือนจะทุกอย่าง เมื่อนานามิผู้รักสัตว์พบว่าตัวเองอยู่ในช่องแคบ คุณจึงแตะหมาของเธอ ชิโระ ให้ทำงานสายสืบเพื่อช่วยให้คุณกลับมายืนได้ งานแรกของชิโระคือการตามหาคนที่ฆ่าเจ้าของบ้านและก็ผู้เช่าของนานามิ
เด็กผู้หญิงชื่อซากิได้เจอกับสุนัขชื่อชิโระ
แล้วก็คุณก็เริ่มอาศัยอยู่กับเขา อยู่มาวันหนึ่ง ตุ๊กตายัดไส้ชื่อแลมบ์เข้ามาใกล้พวกเขาและก็ทราบดีว่าชิโระเป็นสุนัขจากหนังสือภาพของเขา

If a user has forgotten the current router password and is unable to memorize it, ultimately you have to restore the default settings into the router. It will revert all the changes in your router and will bring the default settings in your device including the administrative, network, and security settings. After the reset process, you can apply the default password on the myrouter.local window. The default Linksys username is “admin” and the default password is also “admin”.

The placement of a router plays an important role in determining the Wi-fi speed that would be delivered to your computer. A user can take the help of an online manual guide or quick setup guide that comes along with the router to determine an optimum location for the router. A computer connected to the router must be within the Wi-fi range to allow an adequate amount of Wi-fi signals to get transmitted in it. You can check the Network Status of the tplinkwifi.net network using the web interface of the Tp-link router.

VPN (Virtual Private Network) ensures a user with a secured network connection that prevents your information and other personal details from getting stolen through the network. VPN encrypts your wireless network connection and allows only remote users to connect to its servers. VPN has a variety of connection methods with which a user can connect his router such as (PPTP, OPEN). You need to enable and configure the network through the router.asus.com interface.

Users are also provided with the convenience to block nearby devices from accessing the network. It could be done with the help of an Access Control list in which we can add those devices to which we do not want to access our wireless network. A user can control the list either through the web interface of dlinkrouter.local or through the Dlink tether app according to their convenience.

To create a separate network from the main router, a user has to activate the Guest network using the orbilogin.com interface. You can use the Guest network to allow visitors to access the Internet connection. At the same time, you can deny them from accessing the files and documents within the network. Make sure you assign different SSID names to each frequency band in the network before the configuration process of the Guest network.

Adding the channels from the Roku Channel store is one of the significant processes that every user must know to utilize his Roku Streaming Device to its utmost level. A user can simply add or remove channels with the help of the Roku Remote. You need to search for the required channel in the Streaming Channels option then have to type the name of it and have to wait until the results of the search channel doesn’t appear on the screen. You can do it directly through the Roku remote without going through the Roku login screen.

Sometimes, the IP address of the router automatically changes. The default IP address of the Tp-link router is 192.168.1.1 with which a user can access the web interface of the tplinkwifi.net window. If for some reason the IP address has changed or your network manager has changed it, you can assign a new IP address to the router using the web management window. Sometimes, a user fails to interact with the web interface of the router through the tplinkwifi.net link, he can also type 192.168.1.1 as an alternative to access its web interface.

The web interface of a router automatically sets the language for your device according to the Time zone a user sets. English is the common default language chosen for most countries. You can also change the language of your router through the Basic homepage of the routerlogin.net interface. When you are done changing the language, click on the Confirm button, refresh the current page and the page refreshes with the language you selected.
