Proper choosing of the right moment, position and methods of passing through the defenses of an opponent are also exercised.
Although students may use helmets, gloves and boots filled with soft material, the rule of avoiding any contact is respected.
Fight of one step (hanbon-daeryeon)
This exercise lets the person who is being trained practice techniques of self-defence against a known attack in a controlled way.
The aim is the development of responses to certain situation without conscious thought.
This allows to learn correct distance and choosing of the right moment, which are two factors of deciding importance in a real fight.
This also gives self-confidence and control.
This is a way of practising that is very controlled, safe, and without contact.
Free fight (jayu-daeryeon)
The free fight allows make continuous use of the techniques against the other person in a controlled environment.
The aim is to defend oneself in an unknown situation.
Attention is given to safety at all times.
According to the traditional method, the student need not hit a heavy bag to increase the power of his blows and to prepare himself for free fight.
That is because the students uses of control, not contact.
The students stop their blows close to the target.
Therefore, if in a real fight they decide to hit the target, they can do it easily.
According to the traditional theory, if the student makes contact constantly, it will be difficult to control his actions when he needs.
But if he always makes continuous use of control, he can easily hit when he needs.
If the student constantly makes contact during free fight, his mind will become wild.
But if the student makes continuous use of controlled fight, his mind will become more controlled.
Both states of mind can spread over his life outside of class.
Because full contact is not allowed, the students have no need to use strong protectors (things that protect).
Using boxing gloves and thick feet protectors leads them to hit strongly.
And when they hit while wearing such things, they does not feel whether their technique is correct.
In order to avoid this problem, the traditional masters should make a choice the light protectors of fists and of insteps.
They suffice to prevent injury when the contact accidentally occurs.
According to the modern method, the free fight is similar to fights in kickboxing.
The students use boxing gloves, protectors of the feet, and protectors of the head.
Whether free fight is aimed at competition or at fight on the street, the student should make a great effort to improve his endurance (power of enduring).
That is a reason that the student needs to have good basics and good skills of the fight of one step and of three steps; they develop the student's endurance.
It will not happen immediately; usually two or three months are necessary in order to develop the endurance.
The important part of it is proper breathing.
The student has to breathe at the right time when he hits or he blocks.
If he stops his breath when he does an action, he can still do the action, but he will become gradually tired as time passes.
Finally he will lose his ability to continue.
On the other hand, each time he breathes in and breathes out correctly, he extends the amount of time when he can continue to fight.
Training of self-defence (hosinsul)
Training of self-defence teaches a student how to defend himself against grabs, holds and locks.
It also contains how to deal with situations where it is necessary to defend oneself without causing permanent physical wound to his attacker and how to use pressure points.
Jayu-daeryeon is perfect in order to improve the self-defence ability.
The student can combine any techniques: kicks, punches, blows to feet (sweeps), takedowns and overthrows.
Breaking of the boards (kyokpa)
Breaking of the boards is a favorite occupation of many students and spectators.
Breaking shows the level of the students' techniques and it helps them understand what effect their techniques can have on a target.
It is used during tests of movement to a higher rank and attention is given to safety at all times.
This occupation teaches to focus the mind and to direct attention correctly towards the technique.
This also helps the students to pass their barriers of the mind, and improves their belief in their abilities.

|}Annie Hall' is a 1977 American romantic comedy movie from United Artists.
Woody Allen directed and stars in it.
At first it was called Anhedonia, then It Had To Be Jew, but these titles would not sell the movie.
Annie Hall has been considered a biography of Allen's real life, but the actor has denied this claim.
The movie takes place in New York City and the latter half in Los Angeles, California.
It tells the story of Alvy Singer, a comedian from Brooklyn, who is obsessed with death.
He has an affair with the title character, Annie Hall (played by Diane Keaton) and the two embark on a romance.
He encourages Annie to further her career as a nightclub singer.
Alvy recalls how his Brooklyn house was below a roller coaster on Coney Island.
His father was the owner of a place that had bumper cars, something that reflected the marriage between Alvy's father and Alvy's mother.
Alvy asks Annie to marry him after they split.
She tells him no, as she wants to stay friends.
TechniquesAnnie Hall is noted for its use of special elements such as double exposure (two pictures in one) and magic themes in a real setting.
There is an animated scene with a cartoon version of Allen, and the Witch from Disney's Snow White.

Gasoline , or petrol , is a toxic, clear liquid that is mostly used as a fuel in internal combustion engines.
It is made by boiling petroleum, a fossil fuel.
In a distillation process, petroleum is heated to a very high temperature, then it separates into its components, one of them is gasoline.
This is an expensive process.
It is made mostly of octane (C8H18), a hydrocarbon.
Gasoline is sold at gas stations (petrol stations).
In order to burn properly in high-compression internal combustion engines, each brand of gasoline includes gasoline additives.
So, the exact make up of gasoline is different at different stations.
Gasoline is graded by its octane rating that measures how well it will burn.
Most car engines can burn "regular" gasoline which has an octane rating of 87.
Precision-made engines require or prefer "premium" gasoline with an octane rating of 93.
Most stations offer three different mixtures of gasoline with three separate octane ratings and prices.
Gasoline is most often used in vehicles like cars, vans, etc.
Gasoline can be used in a wide variety of other things that we use every day, such as lawnmowers, leaf blowers, and small boat motors.
Some larger vehicles like trucks or ships may use diesel fuel instead of gasoline.
Gasoline is very dangerous.
It can explode when an electric spark lights it.
It is also harmful if a human drinks it or if it gets on the skin.
It hurts the environment and human health by creating poisonous gases such as carbon monoxide.
If a gasoline engine is used indoors or in a closed space, the carbon monoxide can cause death in minutes.
Many people die every year from using gasoline-powered generators indoors, or leaving vehicles running inside a garage.
Usage and pricing
The US accounts for about 44% of the world’s gasoline consumption.
In 2003 The US consumed , which equates to 1.3 gigalitres of gasoline each day (about 360 million US or 300 million imperial gallons).
The US used about 510 billion litres (138 billion US gal/115 billion imp gal) of gasoline in 2006, of which 5.6% was mid-grade and 9.5% was premium grade.
Unlike the US,  countries in Europe impose substantial taxes on fuels such as gasoline.
For example, price for gasoline in Europe is more than twice that in the US.
Because of the low fuel taxes, the retail price of gasoline in the US is subject to greater changes (than outside the US) when calculated as a percentage of cost-per-unit.
From 1998 to 2004, the price of gasoline was between $1 and $2 USD per U.S. gallon.
After 2004, the price increased until the average gas price reached a high of $4.11 per U.S. gallon in mid-2008, then dropped approximately $2.60 per U.S. gallon as of September 2009.
Recently, the U.S. has experienced an upswing in gas prices of 13.51% from Jan 31st to March 7, 2011.
Most consumer goods have posted prices that exclude tax; taxes are added based on a percentage of the purchase price.
Because of primitive gasoline pumps in the 1920s, United States gasoline prices are posted with taxes included and the taxes are set on cents per gallon.
Taxes are added by federal, state and local governments. (
These taxes collect the cost of maintaining the roads.)
As of 2009, the federal tax is 18.4¢ per gallon for gasoline and 24.4¢ per gallon for diesel (excluding red diesel).
Among states, the highest gasoline tax rates, as of January 2011, are California (47.7¢/gal), New York (47.3¢/gal), Hawaii (45.8¢/gal), and Connecticut (45.2¢/gal).
The federal government and many states fail to increase their gasoline taxes over time with inflation.
However, some states also charge a sales tax as a percentage and vary in amount depending on the cost of the gasoline.
About 9% of all gasoline sold in the US in May 2009 was premium grade, according to the Energy Information Administration.
Some car manufacturers "recommend" premium gasoline but have computer-controlled engines that adjust the timing to avoid knocking.
So, most cars can burn regular grade gasoline but at a slightly reduced performance.
The Associated Press said premium gas–which is a higher octane and costs several cents a gallon more than regular unleaded–should be used only if the manufacturer says it is “required”.
Brazil has the largest national fuel ethanol industry.
Gasoline sold in Brazil contains at least 25% anhydrous ethanol.
Hydrous ethanol (about 95% ethanol and 5% water) can be used as fuel in more than 90% of new cars sold in the country.
Brazilian ethanol is produced from sugar cane and noted for high carbon sequestration.
A tropical cyclone is a circular air movement that starts over the warm ocean waters in the warm part of Earth near the Equator.
Most tropical cyclones create fast winds and great rains.
While some tropical cyclones stay out in the sea, others pass over land.
They can be dangerous because of flooding and because the winds pick up objects, including things as big as small boats.
Tropical cyclones can throw these things at high speeds.
Tropical cyclones, hurricanes or typhoons form when convection causes warm, moist air above the ocean to rise.
They begin as a group of storms when the water gets as hot as 80 °F (27 °C) or hotter.
The Coriolis effect made by the Earth's rotation causes the winds to rotate.
Warm air rises quickly.
Tropical cyclones usually move westward in the tropics, and can later move north or south into the temperate zone.
The "eye of the storm" is the center.
It has little rain or wind.
The eye wall has the heaviest rain and the fastest winds.
It is surrounded by rain bands which also have fast winds.
Tropical cyclones are powered by warm, humid ocean air.
When they go onto land, they weaken.
They die when they spend a long time over land or cool ocean water.
Tropical cyclone, typhoon or hurricane
The term "tropical cyclone" is a summary term.
In various places tropical cyclones have other local names such as "hurricane" and "typhoon".
A tropical cyclone that forms in the Atlantic Ocean is called a hurricane.
The word hurricane is also used for those that form in the eastern, central and northern Pacific.
In the western Pacific a tropical cyclone is called a typhoon.
In the Indian Ocean it is called a "cyclone".
Tropical cyclones are usually given names because it helps in forecasting, locating, and reporting.
They are named once they have steady winds of 62 km/h. Committees of the World Meteorological Organization pick names.
Once named, a cyclone is usually not renamed.
For several hundred years hurricanes were named after saints.
In 1887, Australian meteorologist Clement Wragge began giving women's names to tropical cyclones.
He thought of history and mythology for names.
When he used men's names, they were usually of politicians he hated.
By World War II cyclone names were based on the phonetic alphabet (Able, Baker, Charlie).
In 1953 the United States stopped using phonetic names and began using female names for these storms.
This ended in 1978 when both male and female names were used for Pacific storms.
In 1979 this practice was added for hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic.
In the past these storms sank many ships.
Better weather forecasting in the 20th century helped most ships avoid them.
When tropical cyclones reach land, they may break things.
Sometimes they kill people and destroy cities.
In the last 200 years, about 1.5 million people have been killed by tropical cyclones.
Wind can cause up to 83% of the total damages of a storm.
Broken wreckage from destroyed objects can become deadly flying pieces.
Flooding can also occur when a lot of rain falls and/or when storm surges push water onto the land.
There is a possibility of "indirect" deaths after a tropical cyclone passes.
For example, New Orleans, Louisiana suffered from poor health conditions after Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005.
Tropical cyclones are classified into different categories by their strength and location.
The National Hurricane Center, which observes hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean and Eastern and Central Pacific Ocean, classifies them using the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale.
Tropical cyclones in other places such as the Western Pacific Ocean or the Southern Hemisphere are classified on scales that are quite a bit like the Saffir-Simpson Scale.
For example; if a tropical storm in the western Pacific reaches hurricane-strength winds, it is then officially called a typhoon.
A tropical depression is an organized group of clouds and thunderstorms with a clear circulation in air near the ocean and maximum continuing winds of less than 17 m/s (33 kt, 38 mph, or 62 km/h).
It has no eye and does not usually have the spiral shape that more powerful storms have.
Only the Philippines are known to name tropical depressions.
A tropical storm is an organized system of strong thunderstorms with a very clear surface circulation and continuing winds between 17 and 32 m/s (34–63 kt, 39–73 mph, or 62–117 km/h).
At this point, the cyclonic shape starts to form, although an eye does not usually appear in tropical storms.
Most tropical cyclone agencies start naming cyclonic storms at this level, except for the Philippines which have their own way of naming cyclones.
A hurricane or typhoon or a cyclone is a large cyclonic weather system with continuing winds of at least 33 m/s (64 kt, 74 mph, or 118 km/h).
A tropical cyclone with this wind speed usually develops an eye, which is an area of calm conditions at the center of its circulation.
The eye is often seen from space as a small, round, cloud-free spot.
Around the eye is the eye wall, an area where the strongest thunderstorms and winds spin around the storm's center.
The fastest possible continuing wind speed found in tropical cyclones is thought to be around 85 m/s (165 kt, 190 mph, 305 km/h).

A politician (from Classical Greek πόλις, "polis") is a person active in party politics, or a person holding or seeking office in government.
In democratic countries, politicians seek elective positions within a government through elections or, at times, temporary appointment to replace politicians who have died, resigned or have been otherwise removed from office.
In non-democratic countries, they employ other means of reaching power through appointment, bribery, revolutions and intrigues.
Some politicians are experienced in the art or science of government.
Politicians propose, support and create laws or policies that govern the land and, by extension, its people.
The word politician is sometimes replaced with the euphemism statesman.
Basically, a "politician" can be anyone who seeks to achieve political power in any bureaucratic institution.
Politicians have always used language, as in speeches or campaign advertisements.
They use common themes to develop their political positions in terms familiar to the voters.
Politicians become experts at using the media   With the rise of mass media in the 19th century they made heavy use of newspapers, magazines, and pamphlets, as well as posters.
The 20th century brought radio and television, and television commercials became the single most expensive part of an election campaign.
In the 21st century, they have become increasingly involved with social media based on the Internet and smartphones.

Sendero Luminoso, (English: Shining Path, official complete name: Partido Comunista del Perú-Sendero Luminoso, PCP-SL), is a Peruvian Maoist group which is based on communist ideology.
Their leader, Abimael Guzmán, and several important members of the group were captured on September 12, 1992.
Since then, the group has not been as powerful.
Sendero Luminoso in Peru
Sendero Luminoso in 1980-2000s
In a try to take over the country into a new political model, Sendero Luminoso started making terrorist attacks, mainly in Ayacucho and Puno cities, in the night.
The group used terrorist things for kill people such as bombs in cars, fire on houses and more.
There was (ish) more than 60,000 killed and vanished people by Sendero Luminoso.
Sendero Luminoso in 2000+s
Before the Abimael Guzmán's capture in 1992, Sendero Luminoso stopped working, but is still in the VRAEM (spanish: Valle de los ríos Apurímac, Ere y Mantaro), also known as the drug's valley, by their big number of drugs there.
Attacks/(attributed to) attacks
The october 10th, 2008 there was an attack by Sendero Luminoso making 19 people die, 12 of these militars, 1 vanished and 11 with lesions.
The attack was on the Tayacaja province.
1 month later, (November 26th) there was another attack in the Huallaga valley (at the north of Peru), wherein 4 policeman's die and 4 people more.
April 9th: 13 militars die in a Peru's selvatic zone.
From the 13, 1 was a leader and 12 soldiers.
2 soldiers were vanished and 3 soldiers had lesions.
It was on the Sanabamba province.
The group attacked with dynamite.
June 5th: 3 soldiers die due to Sendero Luminoso, while on patrol to guard the electoral process in a village called Choquetira, in the neighboring southeastern region of Cusco, also leaving 6 wounded.
April 9th: In a Cuzco province, one of the most-attacked cities by Sendero Luminoso, the group kidnaps more than 36 workers of the gas-enterprise Camisea.
The kidnappers were of 14─15 years old.
According to the police, the teenagers were previously captured and indoctrinated by terrorists.
12 days later, the Peruvian government starts a operation to save the workers, called Freedom Operation with 24 special forces people.
Sendero Luminoso attacks the helicopter drived by the special forces people.
The co-pilot dies by the attack.
2 days then, the 36 workers were liberated.
The workers go back to Kiteni province, and they get help from the local police.
Then 2 police leaders die and 10 militars were injured.
1 day more, the on that day president Ollanta Humala meet the workers for ask they information about the kidnappers.
Three days later, the head Martín Quispe Palomino tell to periodists that he was the author of the kidnap, then marked as false with the apparition of Luis Astuquillca the day n° 29.
April 9th: One day before the presidential elections there, kills the least 2 militars and 10 soldiers, leaving very injured people.
The attack was near the VRAEM.
2017─2018 attacks
2017: During many months, many policeman's were killed and injured (7 killed, 2 injured) near VRAEM in many dates; May 31th 3 policeman's die and 2 injured on the Huanta province.
September 6th in the Huancavelica region 3 more.
2018: June 8th, in the Churcampa province, 4 policeman's were killed.
March 26th: The Curiñaupa family were tortured, leaving 4 members die.
March: 16 people including mens, womens, and kids were killed in Ayacucho near VRAEM.
In the place, PCP posters were found.
Fat is one of the three main types of macronutrients.
Fats are found in many foods.
They are made of macromolecules called lipids.
Lipids are based on long-chain fatty acids.
Some of these are essential because the body cannot make them.
Types and functions
Unsaturated fats
Unsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature.
They are considered useful fats because they can improve blood cholesterol levels, and ease heart rhythms.
Most vegetable oils are liquid at room temperature have unsaturated fats.
There are two kinds of unsaturated fats, Mono-unsaturated fats, and polyunsaturated fats.
It is commonly found in avocados, nuts, peanuts, seeds, wild fish, and olive oil.
For polyunsaturated fats, it is recommended to have a omega-3 to omega-6 ratio of 1:1.
Saturated fats
Saturated fats will likely have no benefits.
They are mainly found in animal foods, but a few plant foods are also high in saturated fats.
Too much saturated fat in your diet can lead to heart disease and other health problems, such as gaining weight or increasing the risk of heart disease or stroke.
People should not eat too much saturated fats.
You should limit saturated fat to less than 10% of your daily calories.
It can usually be found in dairy products, meat products, grain-based desserts.
Trans fats
Trans fatty acids are commonly called trans fats.
They are a kind of unsaturated fat.
Trans fats may be natural or they may be made.
Naturally-occurring trans fats are found in the guts of some animals and foods which are made from these animals.
Artificial trans fats are made in an industrial process.
The process adds hydrogen to liquid vegetable oils to make them more solid.
Trans fats are worse for cholesterol levels than saturated fats.
They are most likely found in frying, baked goods, and processed foods.
Good roles
Fats are used to absorb or get nutrients, like Fat-soluble Vitamins for humans.
It is used as a source of backup energy in cases when carbohydrates are not available, or people can not use it at that time.
People need more than 20 to 35% of daily calories from fat.
Also, fats play a role in helping people's body maintain or keep the core (center) temperature.
However, they are also harmful, in other words, they have bad effects on human's bodies.
Good fats & bad fats
Bad fats, in other words, trans fats, have no known health benefits and will damage someone's heart and take them away from healthy.
People might get diseases like blindness, which means they can not see anything because of having too much cholesterol and other fats.
Most of the foods that contain these types of fats are solid at room temperature, such as butter and animal meat.
On the other hand, good fats are naturally found in foods and will not damage the human's organs.
The example foods of good fats are avocados, eggs, and nuts.
Important types
Unsaturated fatty acids are very important.
They are called by where their double bond is placed.
Omega-3 fatty acids (ω-3) and omega-6 fatty acids (ω-6) are essential: you need them both.
They help build longer molecules which do cell signaling in different tissues.
There are over 20 different signaling paths that control a wide array of bodily functions.
Eat fat and burn fat
Medium-chain triglycerides are good for burning fat.
They are easily absorbed, digested, and reused as energy.
Eating milk fat, palm oil, and coconut oil will burn fat because they contain medium-chain triglycerides.
Fat can be important for people, but too much fat is bad.
The fat we eat can provide energy for us.
Not all fatty foods are good for you, such as pizza, french fries, and hamburgers.
The fat from those may cause you became fatter, and your health may become terrible.
Fats also provide long-term energy for humans and, in cold climates,  a layer of insulation to keep the body warm.
They help the body use the vitamins found in foods.
Fats are also good for the skin and hair.
Olive oil is an especially healthy fat.
Many types of fish also contain healthy fat, for example salmon, sardines, herring, and tuna.
But if too much fat collects in the body, a person can become too heavy.
The energy given by fats is used by moving around or exercising.
Some vegetables like celery or carrots contribute much less to the bodies fat supply.
Though being very important for the human body, it can also harmful in large amounts.
Too much fat (especially Trans fats) in the body can cause diseases.
Indeed, obesity, meaning too much fat, is sometimes called a disease itself.
One disease from excess fat is called "fatty liver".
It is a condition which can be resolved by eating different foods.
Fatty liver is when someone has too many fats in their liver, but it can also be associated by alcohol or metabolic syndrome.
Fatty liver can be fixed by exercise and better diet.
This is one of the hidden danger of fats.
Another hidden danger of fats is that it can cause some heart diseases.
One example is Heart Failure.
Heart Failure is an illness that does not have enough heart pumps blood.
It lowers the leading of blood flow.
The main ways to avoid these issues are exercise and good eating.
Exercise reduces excess body fat and strengthens the body.
Healthy diet keeps nutritious balance in your body and helps remove the fats in your body.
Saturated fat is a kind of fat.
It has no double bonds.
It has carbon atoms that are fully saturated with hydrogen.
Saturated fats are usually solid at room temperature.
They have no double bonds, while unsaturated fat has one or two.
Due to no double bonds, their oxidation process is slow.
Is saturated fat a risk factor for heart disease (CVD)?
This is a question with many controversial views.
Although most in the mainstream heart-health, government, and medical communities hold that saturated fat is a risk factor for CVD, some recent studies have produced conflicting results.
For a long time scientists have believed that eating saturated fat was a leading cause for heart attack, cancer, or other diseases.
However, new research have shown that there is no connection between how much saturated fat you eat and heart diseases.
This is still a controversial question.

The Mackinac Bridge is a 5-mile-long (8-km.-long) bridge that carries a four-lane interstate highway, Interstate 75.
It was built by the U.S. state of Michigan and connects that state's Upper Peninsula and Lower Peninsula together.
The government agency that runs the Mackinac Bridge charges motor vehicles a toll to drive over it.
In 2020, the toll was $4.00 for a passenger car.

Unsaturated fat is a kind of fat.
It is different from saturated fat in that it is liquid at room temperature while saturated fat is more solid.
Its molecules contains double bonds whose  carbon atoms that are not fully saturated with hydrogen.
There are two types:
Monounsaturated; or those with one double bond
Polyunsaturated; or with more than one double bond
Examples of unsaturated fats are palmitoleic acid, oleic acid, myristoleic acid, linoleic acid, and arachidonic acid.
Foods containing unsaturated fats include avocado, nuts, and vegetable oils such as canola and olive oils.
Unsaturated fat is better for people than saturated fat.
Some testing has shown that it can raise a person's HDL ("good" cholesterol) levels.
People think that unsaturated fats are 'healthier' than saturated fats.
The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommended that the amount of unsaturated fat consumed should not exceed 30% of one's daily caloric intake (or 67 grams given a 2000 Calorie diet).
The new dietary guidelines have got rid of this recommendation at the request of the meat and dairy industries.
Food packages promote only one or the other, depending on which is the largest share in the product.
Various unsaturated fat vegetable oils, such as olive oils, also contain saturated fat.
Cold fusion is nuclear fusion at room temperature and normal pressure.
Nuclear fusion is how many nuclei, the center of an atom, containing protons and neutrons, are forced together to form a heavier nucleus (singular of nuclei) and during that process, energy is released.
Some scientists hope that this may be Earth's future energy source, but most scientists do not agree.
For nuclear fusion to take place, a large amount of energy is needed.
With this energy, the atoms are pushed together, which are repelled by the electrostatic force (a force between protons which are particles in the nucleus of the atom and have a positive electrical charge).
But once this force is overcome and the nuclei are pushed close enough together, another much more powerful force will take over: the strong nuclear force.
It only operates at short distances, so when the nuclei are close enough, they attract each other because of the strong nuclear force which is stronger than the electrostatic force.
It is hoped that the energy released by cold fusion is much greater than the energy used to push the atoms together.
In 1989 two scientists, Stanley Pons and Martin Fleischmann, published a paper in Nature, an important science journal, claiming to have created cold fusion.
This was a very important story at the time.
Other scientists were not able to repeat their experiments.
This is why cold fusion is not generally accepted by scientists at the moment.
Several dozen scientists are still working on cold fusion research.
They publish in peer-reviewed journals and other academic sources regularly, but most are not convinced.

Cusco is a city in southeastern Peru, near the Huatanay Valley (Sacred Valley) in the Andes mountain range.
It is the capital of Cusco Region.
The city has a population of about 300 000, triple the population it contained just 20 years ago.
Alternate spellings include Qusqu (in old Quechua), Cusco, (after the Spanish arrived), and  current Quechua.
Cusco is the preferred way to spell it in Spanish.
Inca history
Cusco was the capital of Tahuantinsuyu (or Inca Empire).
The city was planned to be shaped like a puma.
The city had two areas: the hurin and hanan, which were further divided to each be part of two of the four provinces of the Inca Empire: Chinchasuyu (NW), Antisuyu (NE), Cuntisuyu (SW), and Collasuyu (SE).
A road led from each of these quarters to the corresponding quarter of the empire.
Each local leader was required to build a house in the city and live part of the year in Cusco, but only in the quarter of Cusco that corresponded to the quarter of the empire he had territory in.
According to Inca legend, the city was built by Sapa Inca Pachacuti, the man who transformed the Kingdom of Cusco from a sleepy city-state into the vast empire of Tahuantinsuyu.
But archaeological evidence points to a slower, more organic growth of the city beginning before Pachacutieven though he did initiate growth in the city after defeating the Chancas as a monument to Incan glory.
There was however a city plan, and two rivers were changed to flow around the city.
Post-Columbian Cusco
The first Spanish soldiers arrived in the city on November 15, 1533.
Spanish conquistador, or conqueror, Francisco Pizarro, however, officially refounded Cusco on March 23, 1534, naming it the "Very noble and great city of Cusco".
The many buildings constructed after the Spanish conquest have Spanish influence with a mix of Inca architecture.
The Spanish made a new city on the foundations of the old Inca city, replacing Incan temples with churches and palaces for the Spanish.
In the colony, the city of Cusco was very rich, thanks to the agriculture, cattle raising, mining and trade with Spain.
Many churches and convents were built, and even a Cathedral, and the Universidad Nacional San Antonio Abad del Cusco.
The major earthquake that hit Cusco in 1950 badly destroyed the Dominican Priory and Church of Santo Domingo, which were built on top of the impressive Koricancha (Temple of the Sun).
The city's Inca architecture, however, survived the earthquake.
Many of the old Inca walls were thought to have been lost after the earthquake, but the granite walls of the Koricancha were exposed, as well as many walls throughout the city.
While some wanted to restore the buildings to their colonial splendor, some of Cusco citizens urged city officials to retain the exposed walls.
Eventually they won out and now tourists from around the world enjoy looking at these ruins within the living city.
The 1950 earthquake was the second time that the Dominican Priory had been destroyed, the first being in 1650 when another major earthquake struck Cusco.
Nearby sights
Other nearby Inca sites are: Pachacuti's presumed winter home Machu Picchu, which can be reached by a lightly maintained Inca trail; the "fortress" at Ollantaytambo; and the "fortress" of Sacsayhuaman which is approximately two kilometers from Cusco.
Other less visited ruins include Inca Wasi, the highest of all Inca sites at 3,980 m (13,134 feet), and Old Vilcabamba the capital of the Inca after the Spanish took over Cusco.
The surrounding area, in the Huatanay Valley, is strong in agriculture.
There is corn, barley, quinoa, tea, and coffee grown.

Cusco is a region in Peru.
The capital is the city of Cusco.
Midnight Cowboy is a 1969 American drama movie, released by United Artists.
John Schlesinger directed it, and Waldo Salt wrote the screenplay based on the James Leo Herlihy novel.
It stars Dustin Hoffman (in his first starring role after The Graduate), along with Jon Voight in the title role.
It is the only X-rated movie to win an Academy Award for Best Picture.
Schlesinger won a Best Director Award; both Hoffman and Voight were nominated for Best Actor.
In 1971, it was given the "R" rating by the MPAA.
Apart from this, nothing was changed in the movie.
Joe Buck (played by Voight, in his first major acting role) was raised by his grandmother in Texas.
She died after Joe grew up, when he was drafted into the US Army.
He had a girlfriend, who was called Crazy Annie, but she had been sent to a psychiatric hospital.
With both women gone from his life, Joe had no-one in his life.
After he left the Army, he worked as a dishwasher, and dreamed of moving to New York City, to become a "hustler" – a male prostitute.
He saved money to make the trip, bought some stylish cowboy clothes, and travels to NYC on a bus.
Joe knows little about the realities of both New York and his chosen job, and he soon finds himself homeless, with no money and only rare chances to earn any.
When he first meets Rico "Ratso" Rizzo (Hoffman's character), Ratso  (tricks) Joe out of $20, but when they met again, Ratso offered to share his "place", which turned out to be a room in a condemned building.
Ratso shares what he knew about New York with Joe, and became his "manager" (pimp), and Joe shares any money he makes with Ratso.
Ratso is sick, probably with tuberculosis, and as time goes on he depends more and more on Joe.
Ratso plans to move to Florida before winter starts.
The weather turns cold as the year ended, but Joe and Ratso got a break, when they were invited to a big party.
Along with eating (and stashing for later) as much of the food there as they could, Joe meets a  who finally treated him the way he had always wanted to be, in New York City, and paid him likewise.
Ratso, however, became even more ill, and was unable to walk or stand for long.
He refuses to go to a doctor or a hospital, and insists Joe takes him to Florida.
Joe tries to set up another encounter with the socialite, to raise travel money, but failed.
He donated blood to get grocery money, and by chance meets a traveling .
The salesman invites Joe to spend the night with him, but later feels guilty, and sends Joe home with a St. Christopher medal.
When Joe finds Ratso sicker than ever, he returns to beat and rob the salesman, for the money they needed.
Joe and Ratso leaves for Florida on a bus, headed to Miami.
Joe buys new clothes for them both, and throws away his cowboy clothing. "
I ain't no kinda hustler," Joe decided, and he plans to find a regular job once they reached Florida.
Joe and Ratso talk and joke during the trip, but Ratso dies before they arrived.
Joe realizes how much he had cared about Ratso as a person, and that what he had missed most in his life was someone to be close with.
Joe had lost his grandmother and his sweetheart.
Now he had lost his best friend, and Joe is scared to go on alone.
The movie won Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Adapted Screenplay.
Both Hoffman and Voight were nominated for Best Actor awards and Sylvia Miles was nominated for Best Supporting Actress.
Miles had one of the shortest performances ever nominated (clocking in under four minutes of screen-time).
The film won six BAFTA Awards.
It was also entered into the 19th Berlin International Film Festival.
John Barry, who supervised the music and composed the score for the movie, won a Grammy for Best Instrumental Theme.
Fred Neil's song "Everybody's Talkin'" also won a Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance, for Harry Nilsson.

The age of consent is the age at which a person can legally consent to have sexual intercourse.
This is also the minimum age of the other person legally permitted to engage in sexual activity.
Having sex with a person who is younger than the age of consent (but who agrees to have sex) is called statutory rape.
The person below the minimum age is regarded as a victim, and their sex partner as the offender.
Different countries have different laws regarding the age of consent.
Some are as low as 12 or as high as 21.
Most countries have ages set between 14 and 16.
But worldwide, the average age of consent is 16 years of age.
Exceptions and different laws
Most jurisdictions allow minors above a certain age to marry with parental and/or government permission.
In jurisdictions which allow this, a minor who is married is an exception to the law.
For example, in Wisconsin the age of consent for sex is 18.
Marriage is an exception.
Marriage usually prevents a party to the marriage from being charged under sexual assault laws, as long as both husband and wife are at least 16 years, although not if one of the parties is younger than this age and one is older.
This varies from country to country.
In some places kissing is considered a sexual activity.
Other places only count sexual intercourse.
Most countries have laws that say what the legal age of consent is.
This is usually a fixed age.
For example, in France the age of consent is set at 15, which means having sex with anyone below that age by anyone over that age is illegal.
However, some jurisdictions use sexual maturity instead of age to determine capacity for consent.
For example, when Russia was a part of the Soviet Union, its age of consent was having reached "sexual maturity".
There are exceptions to age of sexual consent laws.
Although most jurisdictions have a fixed age set as the law, where no one over that age can be with anyone under that age, some states have close in age exceptions.
For example, in Indiana the age of consent for sex is 16, but there is a close in age exception that makes it legal for a person younger than 18 but above 16 to still be able to have sex with a 14 year old without being guilty of a crime.
Indiana also allows a defense against the law in court if the victim is married or was married in the past, and allows pregnant females who are 15 or older to marry the man who impregnated.
This is with parental and government approval as an alternative to prosecuting the defendant.
The age of consent varies between states and countries.
The laws in different areas range as low as 13 years to 20 years old.
The laws are almost always affected by a nation's culture.
Nations with Islamic law tend to have lower ages.
European countries generally range from 14 years to 16 years.
In the United States, the age varies from 16 to 18.
In many areas, there is a "close-in-age" part of the laws.
This allows for people under of consent but above a certain age to have sex with people as long as there older partner is either less than a certain age or the difference in age is a certain number of years.
The age of consent may also vary if one of the people is in a position of authority over the other.
For example, if the older person was a teacher of the victim, the age may be higher than for other people, an example of this is Indiana where the age where a person can have sex is 16 except if the older partner is a teacher at the victim's high school, in which case the age limit is 18.
If the two people are married, the age is often lower.
Age of consent can also be affected by the type of sex or the sex of the person.
Many areas have different ages for homosexual sex as well as anal sex.
There are areas which also have different ages depending on if the person is male or female.
If a person is caught having sex, or any other sexual act, with someone who is below the age of consent, the person may be punished as a sex offender.
The violator may be sent to prison, or jail, or fined.
In Wisconsin having sex with a person beneath 16, a felony (serious crime), carries prison time, but having sex with a minor who is 16 or over but under 18, which is a misdemeanor (a non-serious crime),  carries jail time and a fine.
An example of punishing age of consent violations occurred in 2011, an American swimming teacher was sent to prison for 16 months for having sex with a 15-year-old student.
The law usually applies to both males and females having sex with a minor.
