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.
Nadzab is a major town in Morobe Province, Papua New Guinea, about 40 kilometers northwest of Lae, at the entrance to the Markham Valley, a key link between the Highlands and the coast. A World War II heritage site, Nadzab was once an important Allied airbase, and today its Nadzab Airport is the second largest in Morobe province, carrying domestic flights and helping to export local agricultural products such as coffee and cocoa. Surrounded by a tropical rainforest climate and an economy based on agriculture and air logistics, Nadzab is an important transit point for trade between the interior and the coast of PNG, and is characterized by a combination of natural ecology and historical and cultural attractions.
