  Zarb or Tonbak (Persian Doumbek)
On the whole applying the word zarb for this instrument is error allowed by usage.
Zarb that has been applied for this instrument of music, is apparently on this occasion that osul-e-zarb va ahang (rhythm) is underpinned to by this instrument [Saj, p9] and this justification is closer to fact.
In order to complete this justification it should be stated that the job of tonbak players, as an accompanist, is to underpin to the composition to be performed by the soloist, though occasionally tonbak players perform tonbak solo after the great maestro, Hossein Tehrani.

 About Zarb, the team, and the author
The idea of Zarb is rooted in long years of teaching practice ("German as a Foreign Language" at institutes of adult education) and in my interest in computers and their programming.

  BRIEFING, JUNE 3, 1975
Zarb's statement, but this whole hearing was set up to attempt to analyze the veto message, the reasons behind it, get the calculations and assumptions that were made and not to take the time of the joint subcommittees for the reading of statements.
Zarb, if you address that, if you would, because I am aware of the fact that the administration very logically would have preferred to not veto this bill since the clear political profit was on the side of not vetoing it.
Zarb, my impression is that in 1973, which is pre-OPEC embargo, the average cost of per ton utilities was $9.25, and that in 1975, which is of course post-OPEC embargo, the average cost is $10.

 Zarb Commission report -- March 29, 2004
The commission, chaired by Frank G. Zarb, the former chief executive of NASDAQ, was appointed last September to recommend how to comply with a decision by the state's highest court declaring that the state was failing to deliver "the opportunity for a sound, basic education" in New York City schools.
Zarb proposed that the funds be delivered through a new, simplified state aid formula that would combine 21 existing formulas into a single "basic operating aid," and replace three others with a new "supplemental needs aid" for high-needs districts.
Under the Zarb proposal, any district that had a single failing school would have to develop a three-year improvement plan for each such school, identifying what isn't working, detailing what will be done with new resources, and showing that its proposed solutions are based on programs that have worked elsewhere.
