SYDNEY—After a landslide hit Papua New Guinea’s highlands in the middle of the night last month, locals used spades, sticks and their bare hands to clear debris that authorities say buried people while they slept. Half a world away, Dan Shugar, an associate professor at the University of Calgary who studies landslides, wondered whether scientific methods could have detected the impending disaster and helped to prevent the loss of life. Looking at historical satellite imagery, Shugar found evidence of what appeared to be a small landslide in the same location in January 2022, and then an even smaller one in the days before the catastrophic collapse.

Papua New Guinea, there is a tribal community that still keeps the tradition alive. The Anga tribe practices the mummification of their deceased ancestors as a way to stay connected with them. The Anga people, who number around 45,000, use a distinct method of mummification that involves smoking the body for three months. Unlike the ancient Egyptian technique, the body remains seated and is positioned over a fire. During the process, the mummifiers carefully drain the body’s fluids by poking it and use a wooden stick to widen the anus, allowing the organs to exit. The procedure is highly meticulous, with every detail attended to in order to avoid any mistakes that might bring ill omens. The dead body is then coated with red clay for preservation and placed in jungle shrines.

7.8%, taking the annual figure to a neck-turning 8.2%. Internationally, there is growing optimism that India is on the cusp of a long-awaited economic take-off, as evidenced by the recent revision in our sovereign-credit outlook from ‘stable’ to ‘positive’ by S&P Global Ratings, even if the actual credit rating remains barely investment grade (for now). While revising India’s GDP growth upwards by close to 2 percentage points for 2023-24, the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) April 2024 World Economic Outlook alludes to the robustness of growth expected in 2024 and 2025 as “reflecting continuing strength in domestic demand and a rising working-age population."
