Kobo (woreda)
Kobo or Raya Kobo () is a woreda in the Amhara Region of Ethiopia. Located in the northeast corner of the North Wollo Zone, Kobo is bordered on the south by the Logiya River which separates it from Habru and Guba Lafto, on the west by Gidan, on the north by Tigray Region, and on the east by the Afar Region. Towns in Kobo include Gobiye, Kobo and Robit (Kobo Robit). Overview The landscape of this district is characterized by a broad fertile plain that is separated from the lowlands of the Afar Region by the Zobil mountains, which are over 2000 meters high. In general, the altitude of Kobo ranges from 1100 meters on the plains to slightly more than 3000 meters above sea level along the border with Gidan. Kobo, as well as the other seven rural districts of this Zone, has been grouped amongst the 48 districts identified as the most drought prone and food insecure in the Amhara Region. To combat increasing droughts and improve crop yields, two irrigation projects have been unde ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Zobel Network
: ''For the wave filter invented by Zobel and sometimes named after him see m-derived filters.'' Zobel networks are a type of filter section based on the image-impedance design principle. They are named after Otto Zobel of Bell Labs, who published a much-referenced paper on image filters in 1923. The distinguishing feature of Zobel networks is that the input impedance is fixed in the design independently of the transfer function. This characteristic is achieved at the expense of a much higher component count compared to other types of filter sections. The impedance would normally be specified to be constant and purely resistive. For this reason, Zobel networks are also known as constant resistance networks. However, any impedance achievable with discrete components is possible. Zobel networks were formerly widely used in telecommunications to flatten and widen the frequency response of copper land lines, producing a higher performance line from one originally intended for ...

Zobel Building
Zobel Building is a historic six-story building located at 351-353 S. Broadway in the Broadway Theater District in the historic core of downtown Los Angeles. It is most notable for the ''Calle de la Eternidad'' mural that was formerly on its northern exterior. History Zobel Building was built . In 1921, The Wonder, formerly the largest retail silk store in the United States, moved into the building, and Graysons department store occupied the building in the 1950s. In 1979, the Broadway Theater and Commercial District was added to the National Register of Historic Places, with Zobel Building listed as a non-contributing property in the district. In 1992–1993, Johanna Poethig painted a large mural titled ''Calle de la Eternidad'' on the building's northern wall. The mural has since become a "landmark." In 2013, Zobel Building was converted to offices. During the conversion, architects removed a 12-foot ficus tree that was growing out of the building's fifth-floor southern w ...

Zóbel De Ayala Family
The Zóbel de Ayala clan is a prominent Filipino family of Spanish and German Jewish descent who were the founders of Ayala y Compañía (now Ayala Corporation) and patrons of the Premio Zóbel literary awards. The clan is directly descended from Jácobo Zóbel de Zangróniz (1842–1896) and Trinidad de Ayala Roxas (1856–1918). Ayala y Compañía (established in 1876) traces its origins to Casa Róxas, a business partnership established in 1834 between Domingo Róxas (1792–1843) and Antonio de Ayala (1803–1876). History Jacobo Zóbel (1842–1896) Jácobo Zóbel de Zangróniz was the son of Jácobo Zóbel y Hirsch (né Jakob Sobel) and Ana Maria de Zangróniz (daughter of a justice at the Real Audiencia of Manila, who had come from an old Navarrese/Basque family.) He was born on the 12th of October, 1842, and was the first Zóbel born in the Philippines. His grandfather, Johannes Andreas Sobel, arrived in the Philippines from Hamburg, Germany in 1832, together with ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Sable
The sable (''Martes zibellina'') is a species of marten, a small omnivorous mammal primarily inhabiting the forest environments of Russia, from the Ural Mountains throughout Siberia, and northern Mongolia. Its habitat also borders eastern Kazakhstan, China, North Korea and Hokkaido, Japan. The name "sable" originates from Slavic languages and entered Western European languages through the medieval fur trade. Sables are small, omnivorous mammals that inhabit dense forests in regions like Russia, Mongolia, and China. They are known for their luxurious fur, which ranges from light to dark brown and is softer and silkier than that of American martens. Sables resemble pine martens in size and appearance but have more elongated heads, longer ears, and shorter tails. They are skilled climbers and primarily hunt by sound and scent. Mating occurs between June and August, and litters typically have two or three offspring. Sable fur has been highly valued in the fur trade since the earl ...
