Hwange is a major city in western Zimbabwe, close to the border with Botswana, known for its rich coal resources and neighboring Hwange National Park. As Zimbabwe's 'energy capital', the surrounding coal deposits support the country's electricity production and are a center of industry and mining. The city's neighboring Hwange National Park is one of Africa's largest wildlife reserves, with huge herds of elephants, lions, leopards and other species, attracting eco-tourists from all over the world, and is known as a "wildlife paradise". With its blend of industrial dynamism and natural charm, Hwange is a unique window into Zimbabwe's wild and industrial civilization.
Ruby is a small incorporated town in Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana, United States, located about 60 miles northeast of the state capital of Baton Rouge and adjacent to the Mississippi border, and characterized by a quiet rural atmosphere and a deep community culture. Sparsely populated, with fewer than 500 people according to the most recent census, the town dates back to the late 1800s and, with its early rise to an agricultural economy (e.g., cotton and soybean farming), still retains the rustic look of a traditional Southern town. The town's landmarks include a century-old community church and several Victorian-style homes, and the annual fall "Ruby Family Day," which blends elements of local Cajun and Creole culture, has become a shared memory for the surrounding residents. Despite its small size, Ruby epitomizes the serenity of the American countryside with its simple folk and distinctive Louisiana southern flavor.
