Points of the compass
The points of the compass are a set of horizontal, radially arrayed compass directions (or azimuths) used in navigation and cartography. A compass rose is primarily composed of four cardinal directions—north, east, south, and west—each separated by 90 degrees, and secondarily divided by four ordinal (intercardinal) directions—northeast, southeast, southwest, and northwest—each located halfway between two cardinal directions. Some disciplines such as meteorology and navigation further divide the compass with additional azimuths. Within European tradition, a fully defined compass has 32 "points" (and any finer subdivisions are described in fractions of points).

Compass points or compass directions are valuable in that they allow a user to refer to a specific azimuth in a colloquial fashion, without having to compute or remember degrees.

Chuj (bathhouse)
A chuj is a traditional Mayan bathhouse.  It is a sweat bath or steam bath.  Traditional chuj had stone walls and live sod roofs.  Today, some chuj are made out of adobe bricks or cinder blocks instead.

Each family would build their own chuj near their house.  A chuj has no windows.  Inside, the bathers heat rocks until they are hot.  Then they throw water onto the rocks to make steam.  The bathers lie down on wooden beds.  Users believe that the chuj cleans the body, spirit, and mind.

Some have also provided complementary services such as shampooing, massages, and other relaxation therapies, often also found in contemporary day spas.
