Sad news from Peru

It’s been nearly three years since my trip to Peru.  Last week a friend reached out to solicit advice on behalf of his brother who’s preparing a similar trip.  I boasted that they were in luck, as I knew a truly excellent guide.

I found Miguel Jove when I was in Cusco.  I was intent on trekking to the ruins at Choquequirao and Miguel came highly recommended by the staff at the South American Explorers club.  More specifically, as I sifted through the countless hand written reviews left at SAE by previous travelers, I kept coming across Miguel’s name.  Everyone who’d had the pleasure of taking a guided trek with Miguel had such great things to say about him.  Suffice to say, I had all the info I needed: this was the guy.  I met with Miguel a few days later.  Seemed like a solid guy.  And after it became apparent I could not find enough people to organize a multi-person trip, I hired Miguel to guide me on a solo trip.  One of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

A few days later I met Miguel, and our cook Domingo, and we headed out on the journey.  As I was traveling solo, and neither Domingo nor our arriero spoke English, I spent a lot of time over the next 4 days conversing with Miguel. And once we arrived at Choquequirao he impressed me with his knowledge of the site.  In fact, he shared so much with me about the entire region – he understood his country so well: the history, the people, and what made them tick.  He told me his fascinating life story one night by the campfire.  Earlier in this blog I wrote about buying a hat at REI prior to my trip.  Miguel liked the hat so much I left it with him at the end.  Let’s face it, I had little use for it back home and he’d do it justice out on the trails.

Tonight when I googled Miguel to find his contact info, I was shocked to learn he passed away in 2011.  Seems he was killed in an accident on the very trail we hiked 3 years ago.  From the limited details I’ve found it sounds like the accident was landslide related, but I cannot confirm that.  All I know is Miguel Jove was a really smart guy, who strived to be the best guide in South America.  His words, not mine.  He was dedicated to sharing his knowledge about the region.  As a result he gave me, and countless others, a rich experience I’ll never forget.  I thought one day I’d return to Peru and take another trip with Miguel.  Tonight it’s with a heavy heart that I realize I will not have that opportunity.

    Woah! I’m really enjoying the template/theme of this blog.

    It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s difficult to get that “perfect balance” between user friendliness and visual appeal.
    I must say you’ve done a superb job with this. In addition, the blog loads
    very fast for me on Opera. Outstanding Blog!

  30. What a poignant tribute to a remarkable guide, Miguel Jove. Your vivid recollection of the solo trek to Choquequirao, enriched by Miguel’s expertise and genuine passion, beautifully captures the essence of his impact. It’s heartrending to learn of his untimely passing, a loss not just for those fortunate enough to have journeyed with him but for South American exploration as a whole. Miguel’s legacy lives on through the indelible memories he crafted for travelers like you, a testament to his dedication and profound connection to the land. May his spirit endure in the trails he once tread.

    Understanding the complex world of chronometers
    Understanding COSC Accreditation and Its Importance in Watchmaking
    COSC Validation and its Demanding Criteria
    Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres, or the Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres, is the authorized Swiss testing agency that verifies the precision and accuracy of timepieces. COSC validation is a sign of superior craftsmanship and dependability in timekeeping. Not all timepiece brands follow COSC certification, such as Hublot, which instead follows to its own stringent standards with movements like the UNICO, attaining similar accuracy.

    The Science of Precision Timekeeping
    The core system of a mechanical watch involves the mainspring, which delivers power as it loosens. This system, however, can be vulnerable to external elements that may impact its precision. COSC-accredited movements undergo demanding testing—over 15 days in various circumstances (five positions, three temperatures)—to ensure their durability and reliability. The tests evaluate:

    Typical daily rate accuracy between -4 and +6 secs.
    Mean variation, peak variation levels, and effects of thermal changes.
    Why COSC Accreditation Is Important
    For watch fans and connoisseurs, a COSC-certified watch isn’t just a piece of technology but a testament to lasting quality and precision. It represents a timepiece that:

    Provides excellent dependability and precision.
    Offers assurance of superiority across the whole construction of the watch.
    Is likely to hold its value more efficiently, making it a sound investment.
    Well-known Timepiece Manufacturers
    Several famous manufacturers prioritize COSC validation for their watches, including Rolex, Omega, Breitling, and Longines, among others. Longines, for instance, provides collections like the Archive and Spirit, which showcase COSC-validated mechanisms equipped with innovative materials like silicon balance suspensions to improve resilience and efficiency.

    Historical Background and the Development of Chronometers
    The idea of the chronometer originates back to the requirement for exact chronometry for navigational at sea, highlighted by John Harrison’s work in the eighteenth cent. Since the official foundation of Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres in 1973, the accreditation has become a benchmark for judging the accuracy of high-end timepieces, sustaining a tradition of excellence in watchmaking.

    Conclusion
    Owning a COSC-certified timepiece is more than an visual choice; it’s a commitment to excellence and precision. For those appreciating precision above all, the COSC certification offers tranquility of mind, ensuring that each certified watch will perform reliably under various conditions. Whether for personal satisfaction or as an investment decision, COSC-accredited watches stand out in the world of watchmaking, carrying on a legacy of meticulous timekeeping.

    주식신용
    로드스탁과의 레버리지 방식의 스탁: 투자의 새로운 분야

    로드스탁을 통해 제공하는 레버리지 방식의 스탁은 주식 투자법의 한 방식으로, 큰 이익율을 목적으로 하는 투자자들을 위해 유혹적인 선택입니다. 레버리지를 사용하는 이 전략은 투자자가 자신의 투자금을 넘어서는 자금을 투자할 수 있도록 하여, 주식 장에서 더 큰 힘을 행사할 수 있는 기회를 공급합니다.

    레버리지 방식의 스탁의 기본 원칙
    레버리지 스탁은 기본적으로 자본을 빌려 운용하는 방법입니다. 예를 들어, 100만 원의 자본으로 1,000만 원 상당의 증권을 취득할 수 있는데, 이는 투자자가 기본적인 투자 금액보다 훨씬 더욱 많은 증권을 사들여, 증권 가격이 상승할 경우 관련된 훨씬 더 큰 수익을 획득할 수 있게 해줍니다. 하지만, 증권 가격이 떨어질 경우에는 그 손실 또한 크게 될 수 있으므로, 레버리지를 사용할 때는 신중하게 생각해야 합니다.

    투자 계획과 레버리지 사용
    레버리지는 특히 성장 가능성이 상당한 기업에 적용할 때 도움이 됩니다. 이러한 사업체에 높은 비율로 투자하면, 잘 될 경우 큰 수익을 가져올 수 있지만, 반대 경우의 경우 상당한 위험도 감수하게 됩니다. 그러므로, 투자자는 자신의 위험 관리 능력을 가진 시장 분석을 통해 통해, 어느 사업체에 얼마만큼의 자본을 적용할지 결정하게 됩니다 합니다.

    레버리지의 장점과 위험성
    레버리지 스탁은 높은 수익을 제공하지만, 그만큼 높은 위험도 동반합니다. 증권 거래의 변동은 추정이 곤란하기 때문에, 레버리지를 사용할 때는 늘 장터 경향을 세심하게 살펴보고, 피해를 최소로 줄일 수 있는 전략을 구성해야 합니다.

    최종적으로: 조심스러운 결정이 필요
    로드스탁에서 제공된 레버리지 방식의 스탁은 효과적인 투자 수단이며, 적당히 이용하면 많은 이익을 제공할 수 있습니다. 그러나 큰 위험도 고려해야 하며, 투자 결정은 충분한 데이터와 조심스러운 생각 후에 실시되어야 합니다. 투자하는 사람의 재정적 상태, 위험 수용 능력, 그리고 시장의 상황을 생각한 조화로운 투자 방법이 핵심입니다.
