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.

You will find thousands of people residing in the rural areas who install septic tanks within their houses. Most of the people are not aware about just what a septic tank does and what should be performed to keep it in a good way. Septic tanks are of two types; cement septic tanks and plastic containers. Cement sewage containers are in huge size and are carefully installed beneath the ground.

tiny house posted on August 2, 2021 at 1:55 am
Bazı insanlar hayatı hep hareketli yaşamak ister bunun içinde bulundukları yerde çok fazla kalmak onların işine gelmez. Peki, bulunduğunuz yerde çok fazla zaman geçirmek istemediğinizde ne yapmanız gerekiyor. Ben bu konuyla ilgili size hemen bir örnek vereyim karavanlar. Bu tür evler insanın yerleşik hayattan istediği zaman gezgin bir hale gelmesine imkan sağlar. Örneğin tiny house eve sahipseniz aynı gün içerisinde farklı bir şehirde yaşamaya devam edebilirsiniz. Özellikle belli bir yaştan sonra parasal açıdan sıkıntısı olmayan insanlar hayatlarında değişiklik olması açısından tekerlekli ev tercih ederek sürekli yer değiştirmeyi tercih ederler. Bu onlar için bir süre sonra ihtiyacın üzerinde alışkanlık haline dönüşür ve doğal olarak sürekli gezmek onların yaşam tarzı olur.

mührü süleyman posted on August 2, 2021 at 1:57 am
Mühr-i Süleyman eski edebiyatta da kullanılan bir motiftir. Divan şairleri sevgilinin dudağını gerek yuvarlak ve derli toplu biçimi gerekse bütün âşıkları, hatta insanları ve cinleri büyüleyip kendisine râmetmesi veya bütün güzellerin onun ağzına bakması gibi özellikleri dolayısıyla mühr-i Süleyman’a benzetirler (Güzellik içre hatm eder ol la’l hâtemi / Ger nakş olursa mühr-i Süleymân’a leblerin [Şeyhî]). Dudak-mühür benzetmesinde dudağın çevresindeki ayva tüyleri mührün üzerindeki yazıları karşılar ve sevgili bir Süleymân-ı zaman olarak algılanır (La’lin üzre hattına benler perîşân olmasın / Yüz bulıcak mûrlar mühr-i Süleymân’ı öper [Hayâlî]). Sevgilinin rakipler arasında kalması ifritlerin yüzüğü çalmasıyla yorumlanır. Sevgilinin gaflet halinden istifade eden rakipler de mühr-i Süleyman’ı çalan ifritlere benzetilir (Mest olup uyurken öpmüş la’l-i cânânı rakīb / Ehremenler hâtemi almış Süleyman bîhaber [Bâkî]). Bir beyitte de mühr-i Süleyman’ın güç ve kudret tılsımı oluşuna işaret edilmektedir (Kazâ ol husrevin mahkûmu kılmış rub’-ı meskûnu / Nigîninde murabba’ vefk edip mühr-i Süleymân’ı [Sünbülzâde Vehbî]). Halk şairleri de zaman zaman mühr-i Süleyman’ı bir iktidar sembolü olarak kullanmışlardır (Lebinden nûş ettim beni söyledir / Ne çâre sevdiğim kader böyledir / Ak göğsün üzeri uzun yayladır / Mühr-i Süleymân’a dahi yol vermez [Ruhsatî]).
istanbul lazer kesim posted on August 2, 2021 at 1:58 am
Lazer kesim, bugün çok çeşitli malzemelerin kesiminde sıkça kullanılan bir süreçtir. Lazerin yüksek doğruluğu, hızı ve çok yönlülüğü, lazer kesim sürecini kullanımının büyük avantajlardır. Lazer kesim bir tür termal ayırma sürecidir. Lazer ışını malzemenin yüzeyine vurmakta ve o kadar güçlü ısıtmaktadır ki malzeme erimekte ya da tamamen buharlaşmaktadır. Lazer ışını bir noktada tamamen malzemeye işlediğinde gerçek kesim süreci başlar. Lazer sistemi seçilen geometriyi izler ve süreçte malzemeyi ayırır. Uygulamaya bağlı olarak süreç gazlarının kullanımı sonuçları olumlu şekilde etkileyebilir.

Unquestionably consider that that you stated.
Your favorite justification seemed to be on the web the easiest factor to take into accout of.
I say to you, I definitely get annoyed while other folks consider issues that they just don’t know about.
You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also defined out the entire
thing with no need side-effects , other people could take a
signal. Will probably be again to get more. Thank you
