	Birdwatching Trip Report from Papua New Guinea (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Papua New Guinea does not tend to feature high on the list for places to go for most world birders, probably as a result of the high cost and of adverse reports regarding the security situation in the country.
		New Guinea is the tallest tropical island (2,300 km long) and the second largest overall (after Greenland) on earth and to this day remains one of the wildest, most sparsely settled regions on earth.
		In Papua New Guinea there is much confusion regarding the English names for birds, and often each author, having their own preferences which results in the same species having up to 2 or 3 different names.

	Baha'i News -- Crisis in Christian country in Western Province, Papua New Guinea
		In the paper, I examine the ways in which members of this new church, the Congregation of Evangelical Fellowship (CEF), are utilising the concept of dance to comment on the failure of both expatriate missionaries and the dominant Evangelical Church of Papua New Guinea (ECPNG) to prepare the Gogodala community for development.
		When I arrived in Western Province for the first time in January 1995, accompanied by my partner Charles, the ECPNG was the predominant religious organisation in the Gogodala region, as it had been since the 1960s.
		Appealing to pan-Melanesian evangelical ties, the Gogodala leaders of this new church are challenging the basis of the intimate relationship between mission and the ECPNG.

	CDC - Human Herpesvirus-8 and Other Viral Infections, Papua New Guinea
		In Papua New Guinea, little information is available about KS, although cases have been reported among children, suggesting that it does occur, although it is probably relatively uncommon (6).
		To verify whether HHV-8 infection is endemic in Papua New Guinea and to determine seroprevalence rates, we studied sera from Melanesian residents of remote villages in Western Province, Papua New Guinea.
		In conclusion, HHV-8 infection appears to be common in remote population groups of Papua New Guinea as well as in Port Moresby, suggesting that the infection has been endemic for a long time among the indigenous population of the country.

		A coffee whose interesting sweet fruit tones ("apricot" hazarded one panelist) edge into ferment, the overripe-cum-rotten flavor caused by sugars that prematurely ferment in the coffee fruit, tainting the bean inside the fruit.
		Complicating the ferment is a related off taste that some panelists tolerated and described with terms like "tobaccoey" and others condemned as "animal-like" and "skunky." In short, a promisingly sweet, complex coffee gone wrong.

	Essential Oil Industry in Papua New Guinea
		PNGs Western Province is disadvantaged due to its remoteness, and various attempts over the years to establish income generating industries - including rice and rubber production and crocodile and deer farming -have failed.
		The overall objective is to instigate a package of activities to facilitate sustainable development of a community-based essential oil industry in Western Province of PNG.
		The project aims to use the region's woody plant species and be accordant with the many constraints placed on the endeavour by the region's remoteness and lack of infrastructure.

		There has been a general lack of anthropological attention given to the dynamics of sport in Papua New Guinea (PNG), even though sports have been played there for over one hundred years.
		The 1974 ethnographic film Trobriand Cricket, for example, shows that rather than replacing warfare and the sexuality of the yam harvest as missionaries intended, Trobrianders dramatically altered the game of cricket to allow the expression of dances, chants, feasts and fighting (see Weiner 1987:114).
		In 1968, after seventy years of colonial contact, two Australian administrators introduced rugby league football into the Gogodala area in the Middle Fly District of Western Province.
