And this year’s star is Dallas Smith, known for his hits such as “Wastin’ Gas” and “Lifted”. Smith has been moving up in the country world, generating five sin- gles from his first album Jumped Right In and was nominated for Country Album of the Year at the 2013 Juno Awards.

But it was the decision to partner with the School of Transportation Technology that made this give- away truly unique. “We didn’t want to just give away a car, it wouldn’t match what we do as an organization … The fact that we managed to tie it in with the school and are displaying students’ work is absolutely amazing,” Bush- ell said. Co-ordinator of the School of Transportation Technology Blaine Young also enjoyed this opportuni- ty, as it was an irreplaceable learn- ing experience for the students. “The students restored this ve- hicle back to being a safe vehicle, restoring the body and mechanical systems with new materials and components donated from industry supplies,” Young said in a press re- lease.

But this wasn’t your average G test. As a way to raise awareness for distracted driving, LHSC gave visi- tors the opportunity to try their new distracted driving simulator with a lifelike computer program. The simulator allows participants to see the effects of various driving dis- tractions, including making a cell- phone call and texting. “Fatalities related to distracted driving in 2013 surpassed alcohol related fatalities on O.P.P. roads, which is really scary,” LHSC Injury Prevention Specialist Brandon Bat- ey said. “We hope that the simulator raises awareness and starts a discus- sion about distracted driving.” The simulator, purchased with funds raised during the LHSC’s annual Trauma Golf Classic, takes participants through a practice driv- ing session, followed by a distract- ed driving simulation, which asks you to use the monitor touch screen to text or call someone. Various distracted driving conse- quences are also highlighted during the demonstration, as videos of the courthouse, the hospital and a jail cell appear on the screen. “I think it’s great to raise aware- CREDIT: KATE DINGMAN The simulator allowed visitors and staff at the London Health Sciences Centre (LHSC) become more aware of the effects of distracted driving. ness, because I don’t think people realize how big of an issue it is recent amendment to the Highway seriousness of distracted driving,” “I think it’s really important,” he rate Communications and Public to drive distracted,” LHSC Inju- Traffic Act that will increase dis- Haidar said. said.

Thanks guys, be- cause the world hasn’t had enough of this whiny arro- gant brat yet. Don’t get me wrong, “Where are Ü Now?” is pretty catchy, but I can think of 101 better artists to fea- ture in this song. “Bad Blood” Taylor Swift If you’re going to feature anyone in a song titled “Bad Blood”, why not ask Kanye West to do a verse? I’m not sure what Kendrick Lamar is doing on this track, but it looks like he’s a little miffed about it as well. Talk about being in the wrong place at the wrong time. “Honey I’m Good” Andy Grammer Clearly you’ve been at this bar too long, Andy. Maybe you should have opened with, “Hey I’ve got a gal” before leading this poor woman on and proceeding to write an entire song about it to shame her for offering you a drink. That bitch. “Dead Inside” Muse As far as genre hopping goes, it appears that Muse has taken a page right out of Taylor Swift’s playbook. These alternative rockers are trying to steal some of the Veld festival fans by putting their guitars through synthesiz- ers but have gravely missed the mark as far as I’m con- cerned. Freestyle called and it wants itst iconic ‘80s vo- coder back. “This Summer’s Going to Hurt Like a Motherfucker” Maroon 5 Who on Earth thought it would be a good idea to put the word motherfucker into the chorus of a song made for radio? Maybe if Maroon 5 was still an edgy rock band, this would have been a good move, but after Adam Levine spent nine seasons hosting The Voice, the band pretty much forfeited that status. Bravo on making the worst radio edit of the year. “Hey Mama” David Guetta ft Nicki Minaj, Bebe Rexha, & Afrojack Can you believe it took nine writers and four pop stars to make this song? Here are some song highlights: “Whole crew got the juice, your dick came the truth.” “Just tell ‘em to make a U, that’s how it be.” “Beating my drum like dum di-di-day.” ‘Nuff said. “Talking Body” Tove Lo Some songs just shouldn’t be on the radio, particularly songs that spend four minutes expressing the fact that you’re only together for the sex. You’re horny. We get it. Now shut up and write something else. Perhaps if you weren’t spending all summer in bed with this guy, you would have had five minutes to create something with a shred of lyrical whimsy. This could be the worst thing to happen since Nickelback. “I Really Like You” Carly Rae Jepsen This song is really, really, really, really, really, really bad, and I’m not sure how else to get that point across without CREDIT (FROM LEFT): JACK Ü (ATLANTIC, MAD DECENT, OWSLA), TAYLOR SWIFT (BIG MACHINE), ANDY GRAMMER (S-CURVE), setting something on fire.

There were a lot of big movies full of big names this summer. For those with better things to do than sit in a theatre watching cinematic adventures, here’s a breakdown of some you might have missed. Jurassic World With a hunky Chris Pratt and a calmly competent Bryce Dallas Howard, Jurassic World shows us the park after 20 years of image recuperating and genetic advance- ments. Those who loved the first will probably love the nods to the original film, and the use of anima- tronics makes the film feel almost real. Sadly, the 3D ruins a lot of the great things done with the graphics, so it’s better to watch it in fewer di- mensions. Mad Max: Fury Road Another reboot, the titular Max CREDIT: UNIVERSAL PICTURES does fairly little in the film, but Bryce Dallas Howard gives female protagonists a run for their money – literally – as she gets chased by dinosaurs through Jurassic World, in heels. instead is the guy things happen around.

What a beautiful morning. The sun is shining, the birds are singing; everything seems splendid, every- thing other than the fact that you are late for class. Looks like there is no time to make breakfast this morning but at least you packed a lunch for your three-hour break this afternoon. Oh wait, you did not make that either, well don’t worry, because your day is about to turn around thanks to this handy best day ever guide. If you had not continuous- ly pressed the snooze button this morning, you might have gotten a lovely breakfast from the Oasis1, but instead you are rushing from the buses to class as your stomach growls in protest. Since you are already going to be late, it is probably best to avoid the excessive lines over at the Oasis and make a trip to the Southwest Cafe2 instead. This hidden gem is tucked away in a corner of D building so it is essentially a walk-through restau- rant. The coffee is not great, but the breakfasts are cheap and delicious.

We all have dreams, ambitions and an intention to achieve them; it is a combination of hard work, de- termination, focus, talent and many other things that will determine whether we will succeed or not.
