Ghawazi

The Ghawazi (also ghawazee) dancers of Egypt were a group of female traveling dancers of the Dom people (also known as Nawar).

The ghawazi style gave rise to the Egyptian raqs sharqi by the first half of the 20th century.

While the performative raqs sharqi in urban Egypt was heavily influenced by Western styles such as classical ballet or Latin American dance, the term ghawazi in Egypt refers to the dancers in rural Egypt who have preserved the traditional 18th- to 19th-century style.

Silpha

Silpha is a genus of the family Silphidae, or Carrion Beetles, formerly including several North American species. The genus is sometimes called siphids. All North American silphid beetles are now reorganized in either the subfamily Nicrophorinae, with the only genus in North America being Nicrophorus, and subfamily Silphinae, including the genera Aclypea, Heterosilpha, Necrodes, Necrophila, Oiceoptoma, and Thanatophilus. The genus Oxelytrum is sometimes included due to a dubious Texas record, but to date has never been validated. While members of the genus Nicrophorus typically bury carrion for their larvae to feed upon, members of subfamily Silphinae lay their eggs directly on or in a blown carcass. This is because the larvae not only feed on the carrion, but also upon fly maggots. There are 30 species of silphids in North America North of Mexico.

Latex

Latex is a stable dispersion ( emulsion) of polymer microparticles in an aqueous medium. It is found in nature, but synthetic latexes can be made by polymerizing a monomer such as styrene that has been emulsified with surfactants.

Latex as found in nature is a milky fluid found in 10% of all flowering plants ( angiosperms). It is a complex emulsion consisting of proteins, alkaloids, starches, sugars, oils, tannins, resins, and gums that coagulate on exposure to air. It is usually exuded after tissue injury. In most plants, latex is white, but some have yellow, orange, or scarlet latex. Since the 17th century, latex has been used as a term for the fluid substance in plants. It serves mainly as defense against herbivorous insects. Latex is not to be confused with plant sap; it is a separate substance, separately produced, and with separate functions.

The word is also used to refer to natural latex rubber, particularly non- vulcanized rubber. Such is the case in products like latex gloves, latex condoms and latex clothing. Many people are allergic to rubber latex.
