Politics of Zimbabwe
The politics of Zimbabwe occurs in a society deeply divided along lines of race, ethnicity, gender and geography. The ZANU–PF party has historically been dominant in Zimbabwe politics. The party, which was led by Robert Mugabe from 1980 to 2017, has used the powers of the state to intimidate, imprison and otherwise hobble political opposition in Zimbabwe, as well as use state funds and state media to advance the interests of the party.

Per the 2013 Constitution, Zimbabwe is a full presidential republic, whereby the President is the head of state and government. Executive power is exercised by the government. Legislative power is vested in both the government and parliament. The status of Zimbabwean politics has been thrown into question by a 2017 coup.

Zimbabwe has been undergoing an economic crisis since the late 1990s.

Senate of Zimbabwe
The Senate of Zimbabwe is the upper of the two chambers in Zimbabwe's Parliament. It existed from independence in 1980 until 1989, and was re-introduced in November 2005. The other chamber of Parliament is the National Assembly.

In its current form, the Senate has 80 members. Of these, 60 members are elected from 10 six-member constituencies (based on the provinces) by proportional representation using party lists; the lists must have a woman at the top and alternate between men and women. The other 20 seats include two reserved for people with disabilities and 18 for traditional chiefs.

Ten Outstanding Young Persons of the World
Ten Outstanding Young Persons of the World (TOYP) program serves to formally recognize young people who excel in their chosen fields and exemplify the best attributes of the world's young people.  The program is sponsored by Junior Chamber International (JCI).

Young men and women may be nominated in one of ten categories. An international panel of judges then selects up to ten honorees, who are chosen from all of the nominations, regardless of category entered.  Past recipients have included sportspersons, those who have contributed to society in various ways, and those who have overcome handicaps.

Nominees are often submitted through the Junior Chamber organizations in their home countries.  Each national organization typically has a Ten Outstanding Young Persons program, which recognizes young people who exemplify the best attributes of that country's young people.

The international awards began in 1983 and were modelled after the programs sponsored by the national organizations.

Over 21 (play)
Over 21 is a play written by actress Ruth Gordon. This comedy ran 221 performances on Broadway in 1944, with Gordon in the starring role. This fast-paced comedy is set near Miami in 1943, where Max, a 39-year-old newspaper editor, is sweating out United States Army Air Corps training in competition with much younger recruits. Against his wishes, his novelist wife, Paula (played by Gordon in the original run), has joined him in Florida to encourage him and cheer him on. Max's old publisher, Robert Drexel Gow, visits to entice him to quit the service and return to work.

A movie version of the production was released in 1945 (Over 21).  According to Turner Classic Movies, the story was loosely drawn from Gordon's own experiences, and has insightful things to say about men's and women's roles in society at that time.

Ruth Gordon
Ruth Gordon Jones (October 30, 1896 – August 28, 1985) was an American actress, playwright, screenwriter and novelist, widely known for a career that spanned seven decades, beginning by performing on Broadway at age 19.

DG Tauri
DG Tauri is a young star about 400 light years from the Earth. It is a T Tauri-type variable star, ranging in brightness from magnitude 10.5 to 14.9 (in blue light), making it far too faint to be seen with the naked eye.

DG Tauri is located in the Taurus molecular cloud. The star is close enough to the ecliptic to be occasionally occulted by the Moon, and observations of those events have shown that DG Tauri is a single star, although it may be part of a wide binary with DG Tauri B.

The region around DG Tauri contains a variety of the structures associated with stars and planetary systems in the process of formation. In 1983, an optically visible jet extending up to 20 arc seconds (about 2500 AU) from the star was detected. The detection of continuum emission from a circumstellar disk was announced in 1989. In 2022 a study was published showing that a streamer of gas is accreting onto the circumstellar disk.

Occultation
An occultation is an event that occurs when one object is hidden from the observer by another object that passes between them. The term is often used in astronomy, but can also refer to any situation in which an object in the foreground blocks from view (occults) an object in the background. In this general sense, occultation applies to the visual scene observed from low-flying aircraft (or computer-generated imagery) when foreground objects obscure distant objects dynamically, as the scene changes over time.

If the closer body does not entirely conceal the farther one, the event is called a transit. Both transit and occultation may be referred to generally as occlusion; and if a shadow is cast onto the observer, it is called an eclipse.

The symbol for an occultation, and especially a solar eclipse, is  (U+1F775 🝵).
All-Japan Prefectural and Municipal Workers' Union
The All-Japan Prefectural and Municipal Workers' Union (Japanese: 全日本自治団体労働組合, Jichiro) is a trade union representing local government workers in Japan.

The union was established in January 1954, with the merger of two smaller unions of local government workers.  It was affiliated with the General Council of Trade Unions of Japan and grew rapidly, attaining 559,397 members by 1967.  By 1987, it was the largest union in the country, with 1,257,000 members.  In 1989, it became affiliated with the Japanese Trade Union Confederation. Members who objected to this affiliation left and formed the rival Japan Federation of Prefectural and Municipal Workers' Unions.

The union absorbed the National Union of General Workers in 2006 and the All Japan Municipal Transport Workers' Union in 2013.  Despite this, by 2020, its membership had declined to 785,445, though it was still Japan's second-largest union.

Sōhyō
The General Council of Trade Unions of Japan (日本労働組合総評議会, Nihon Rōdōkumiai Sōhyōgikai), often abbreviated to Sōhyō (総評), was a left-leaning union confederation. Founded in 1950, it was the largest labor federation in Japan for several decades.

Dispersed settlement
A dispersed settlement, also known as a scattered settlement, is one of the main types of settlement patterns used by landscape historians to classify rural settlements found in England and other parts of the world.  Typically, there are a number of separate farmsteads scattered throughout the area. A dispersed settlement contrasts with a nucleated village.

The French term bocage is sometimes used to describe the type of landscape found where dispersed settlements are common.

In addition to Western Europe, dispersed patterns of settlement are found in parts of Papua New Guinea, as among the Gainj, Ankave, and Baining tribes. It is also frequently met with in nomadic pastoral societies.
In Ghana, Kumbyili in the northern region is also an example of a dispersed settlement

Ashina Helu
Ishbara Khagan (Old Turkic: 𐰃𐱁𐰉𐰺𐰀𐰴𐰍𐰣, Ïšbara qaγan, Chinese: 沙缽略可汗/沙钵略可汗; pinyin: shābōlüè kěhàn, personal name Ashina Helu Chinese: 阿史那賀魯/阿史那贺鲁; pinyin: āshǐnà hèlǔ) (ruled 651–658) was the last khagan of the Western Turkic Khaganate.

Khagan or Qaghan (Kazakh: Қаған/Qağan, Middle Mongol:ᠬᠠᠭᠠᠨ; Khaan or Khagan; Old Turkic: 𐰴𐰍𐰣 Qaɣan) is a title of imperial rank in Turkic, Mongolic, and some other languages, equal to the status of emperor and someone who rules a khaganate (empire). The female equivalent is Khatun.

It may also be translated as "Khan of Khans", equivalent to King of Kings. In modern Turkic, the title became Khaan with the g sound becoming almost silent or non-existent; the ğ in modern Turkish Kağan is also silent. After the division of the Mongol Empire, monarchs of the Yuan dynasty and the Northern Yuan held the title of Khagan. Kağan, Hakan and Kaan, Turkish equivalents of the title are common Turkish names in Turkey.

The common western rendering as Great Khan (or Grand Khan), notably in the case of the Mongol Empire, is a translation of Yekhe Khagan (Great Emperor or Их Хаан).
