Spirits and Pie, a Tasty Combo at Alpine Pie Bar in Park City, Utah by Real Food Traveler REAL Podcast
On a recent trip to Park City, Utah, an historic mountain town just outside of Salt Lake City, we discovered an unlikely combination. Pie and distilled spirits. No, not served in the same vessel but definitely served side by side. Located down a set of stairs on Park City's Main Street, behind a curtain, you enter another world.

Lungu polled 50.35% in the August 11 election. He had a 100,530 vote lead over his closest rival, Hakainde Hichilema of the United Party for National Development (UPND). Hichilema polled 47.63%.
Africa: Investing in Science Can Help Put Food On Africa's Plates
analysis By John Butler-Adam, University of PretoriaFood shortages, hunger, starvation and long-term food security are not new issues in Africa, nor elsewhere in the developing world. Food security means that all people, at all times, have both physical and economic access to enough food for an active, healthy life. The most recent figures suggest that food security is far from a reality in Africa.
South Africa Faces a Bumpy Political Ride As EFF Declines to Join Coalitions
analysis By Ongama Mtimka, Nelson Mandela Metropolitan UniversitySouth Africa's radical opposition party the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) will not be going into a coalition with the two biggest parties in the country, the Democratic Alliance (DA) and the governing African National Congress (ANC). This is an interesting gambit that suggests the party has set its sights on long-term strategy and long-term growth. The EFF received 8.19% of the municipal vote.
Africa: Meat Inspection Must Be Beefed Up in Africa to Cull Food-Borne Diseases
analysis By Oyebola Oyesola, Cornell UniversityMeat and animal products are important sources of protein. They are also a delicacy in most meals in Africa. But they can also be potentially hazardous. While most Africans relish meat, proper meat inspection has eluded the continent for decades. Meat inspection is the process that monitors the slaughtering of animals. It is done by a veterinary doctor and meat inspection officers at accredited abattoirs.
South Africa Must Free Itself From the Burden of Owning a National Airline
analysis By Jannie Rossouw, University of the WitwatersrandSouth Africa needs to accept the reality that the time when national airlines flew as carriers of national pride is a thing of the past. Some national carriers - South African Airways (SAA) as a prime example - have become major liabilities. They must be cut loose to protect the pride of the nation. Across the globe the feature of national airlines as a natural property of nation states has been in decline.
Africa: How to Unlock the Value of Islamic Ethics in a Violent, Dangerous World
analysis By Nuraan Davids, Stellenbosch University and Yusef WaghidPeople in liberal democracies are becoming increasingly conscious of Islam. One reason for this is that more and more Muslims are moving into countries where they've not been common before. The faith's dress code is another reason. It makes Muslims, women particularly, more visible. But this supposed awareness of Islam tends to view the faith as a monolith. The religion is too often viewed as a single way of being and doing.
South Africa: How South Africa's Public Protector Has Set a High Bar for Her Successor
analysis By Penelope Andrews, University of Cape TownSouth Africa is choosing a new Public Protector to take over from Advocate Thuli Madonsela. Her non-renewable seven-year term is coming to an end. Madonsela is credited with raising the office's profile and making it one of the country's trusted public governance institutions. She showed enormous courage by tackling government corruption, including President Jacob Zuma's misuse of public money.
Zimbabwe's Import Ban Runs Counter to Regional Economic Integration
analysis By Inocent Moyo, University of ZululandZimbabwe's recent ban on imports from South Africa suggests that the country has taken action that undermines the Southern African Development Community (SADC) regional integration project. This is because trade is an important element of regional integration. It promotes cross-border and local economic development, and provides the foundation for cross-border cooperation and integration, and the development of good neighbourly relations.
Ethiopia: Why the Oromo Protests Mark a Change in Ethiopia's Political Landscape
analysis By Asafa Jalata, University of TennesseeCountry-wide demonstrations by the Oromo in Ethiopia have flared up again. Ethiopia's authorities reacted with heavy force, resulting in the death of 100 civilians. The Conversation Africa's Samantha Spooner asked Professor Asafa Jalata about the country-wide protests. Who are the Oromo people? The Oromo are the single largest ethno-national group in northeast Africa.
Kenya: Explainer - Why Kenya Wants to Overhaul Its Entire Education System
analysis By Daniel Sifuna, Kenyatta UniversityKenya is reforming its education system for the first time in 32 years. It's also changing its curriculum from pre-school all the way through to high school. Part of what's prompted this huge overhaul is the realisation that Kenya isn't doing enough to produce school-leavers who are ready for the world of work. The government's own assessments have showed that the current system isn't flexible.
South Africa: How Bakers Can Get Itchy Eyes and Asthma If Flour Dust Is Not Contained
analysis By Roslynn Baatjies, Cape Peninsula University of TechnologyHow bakers can get itchy eyes and asthma if flour dust is not contained Asthma is a common lung disease that makes breathing difficult.

Baker's asthma is an occupational asthma that bakery employees develop after being exposed to cereal grains such as wheat, rye and yeast.
Africa: South Africa Is Africa's Largest Economy (Again). but What Does It Mean?
analysis By Jannie Rossouw, University of the WitwatersrandSouth Africa has toppled Nigeria and reclaimed its status as the largest economy in Africa. This comes two years after Nigeria rebased its GDP calculation and advanced to the top spot. South Africa was also temporarily relegated to the third position early this year after Egypt climbed to claim the second spot.
Zambia's 2016 Elections - Democracy Hovering On the Precipice
analysis By Danielle Resnick, the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI)When Rupiah Banda conceded defeat to Michael Sata in Zambia's 2011 elections, many commentators hailed the peaceful transfer of power as a sign that the country's democracy had matured. Twenty years after ousting the United National Independence Party (UNIP) in the historic 1991 multi-party elections, the Movement for Multi-Party Democracy (MMD) lost to Sata's urban-based and populist Patriotic Front (PF).
South Africa: Cracks in South Africa's Governing Alliance Could Cost the ANC Dearly
analysis By Dirk Kotze, University of South AfricaSouth Africa has been governed by the African National Congress (ANC) since 1994. The party has operated in an alliance with two other players - the South African Communist Party (SACP) and the Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu), known as the Tripartite Alliance. But the arrangement has become increasingly fractious, so much so that it could, for the first time, badly damage the ANC's performance in the upcoming local elections.
Zimbabwe's Interregnum - New Wine, Old Bottles?
analysis By David B. Moore, University of JohannesburgAnalysts have celebrated July's events in Zimbabwe as indications of a vibrant and social media-based new citizenry with possibilities of leading an African Spring. Like the Arab one, but successful. Some invoke the generation of "born-frees" - those born after Zimbabwe's liberation in 1980 - as a new political force. Others suggest that the public stayaways and vendors' protests are evidence of the informal sector's new power.
Africa: Pessimism Is Rife, Optimism Naive. Activism Is the Best Tool for Now
analysis By Christopher Kutarna, University of Oxford and Ian GoldinWithin every news story, talking point and research paper that floods our present awareness, the same question emerges over and over. We hear it in the World Bank's poverty estimates, in the increasingly frequent headlines of gun violence and terrorism in the US and Europe, in the press releases logging Google's latest achievements with artificial intelligence.
Africa: How Building New Dams Is Adding to Africa's Malaria Burden
analysis By Jonathan Lautze, Consultative Group On International Agricultural Research, Matthew Mccartney, University of California, Irvine and Solomon KibretMore than 2,000 large dams have been built and more than 200 are currently under construction or planned in sub-Saharan Africa.

South Africa's Undecided Voters Could Swing the Outcome of Local Elections
analysis By Cherrel Jane Africa, University of the Western CapeRegular free and fair elections is one of the cornerstones of democracy. And apart from the fact that higher voter participation in elections is important for a vibrant democracy, it also has a direct impact on the election results. South Africa has seen a decline in voter participation since the first democratic elections in 1994. In the founding elections of 1994 turnout was estimated at 86%.
Africa: Can Cash Transfers Reduce HIV Incidence in Young People?
By Charles PensuloA lack of comprehensive research into why young people engage in risky behaviour that can lead to HIV infection and then drop out of treatment is impeding progress in reducing prevalence in this group, said experts at a session at AIDS 2016, in Durban last month.
South Africa: Electoral Tremors Are Shaking South Africa's ANC. How Will It Respond?
analysis By Susan Booysen, University of the WitwatersrandSouth Africa's election 2016 local election signals change.

South Africa: Why Breastfeeding in South Africa Still Needs Champions
analysis By Linda M. Richter, University of the WitwatersrandBreastfeeding has been proven to protect the health of mothers and babies. It naturally inoculates babies against disease because the mother's immune system kick starts the baby's ability to resist illness. This applies in both low-income and high-income settings. For mothers, breastfeeding is also good. It is a natural contraceptive because it interrupts the menstrual cycle, and it protects women against breast and ovarian cancer.
Africa: The Risk of Early Liver Cancer Is Spurred By a Combo of Hepatitis B and HIV
analysis By Monique Andersson, Stellenbosch UniversityPeople who have both hepatitis B and HIV may have a greater chance of developing liver cancer at a young age, according to our new study. The study, to be published shortly, involved patients from cancer units. The results showed that the age profile of liver cancer patients was affected by HIV. Liver cancer in Africans occurs at a young age: between the ages of 30 and 40 years.

The terms "family murder"/"gesinsmoord" only came into frequent use in South Africa in the early 1980s.
South Africa: A National Minimum Wage Would Cut Poverty and Boost Growth in South Africa
analysis By Gilad Isaacs, University of the WitwatersrandA national minimum wage, set at an appropriate level, can achieve the central objectives of reducing working poverty and inequality in South Africa.
