'Uzlah

Last updated • a couple of secsFrom Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

'Uzlah (Arabic : عزلة, plural 'Uzaal ; Arabic: عزل) is the name given to Yemen's regional administrative divisions. [1] The 'uzlah was originally a sub-division of a mikhlaf, another type of administrative division. However, the mikhleef system is no longer used by the government so it is now an administrative sub-division of a district. [1] [2]

Etymology

In Arabic, the word 'uzlah means remoteness or loneliness. [3]

Tadelakt is a waterproof plaster surface used in Moroccan architecture to make baths, sinks, water vessels, interior and exterior walls, ceilings, roofs, and floors. It is made from lime plaster, which is rammed, polished, and treated with soap to make it waterproof and water-repellent. Tadelakt is labour-intensive to install, but durable. Since it is applied as a paste, tadelakt has a soft, undulating character, it can form curves, and it is seamless. Pigment can be added to give it any colour, but deep red is traditional. It may have a shiny or matte finish.
