Cannabix Technologies, a technology company based in Canada, enlisted the help of several UF scientists to develop a device that can detect THC on a person’s breath.
When Drake released “If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late” in February 2015, it felt like something was missing. To me, it sounded like Drake wasn’t trying at times, and the project really did feel like more of a mixtape than an album-quality project. To be clear, I still think that “IYRTITL” was very good; after all, Drake is one of the few artists that can’t miss. The scary part is, while “IYRTITL” was good, we all knew Drake could do better.
If asked to explain what they think it is like to live in Africa, most Americans would probably formulate a perception drastically different from the unapparent reality. As a result of either minimally skimming through the “Africa” section in newspapers or forgetting about the continent altogether, many Americans would draw from their high school history classes to describe today’s Africa. This only becomes a problem when it seems it is more than just average Americans using information from decades ago, because although the possible solutions to benefit Africa have changed, policies have not.
I used to abhor the expression “the road to Hell is paved with good intentions.” If there’s a Hell, we’re probably living in it already, and why fault people for their good intentions?
One of the challenges for us in assigning current events with a dart or a laurel is the fact that there is just so much to talk about. Economies across the globe may be in recession, but we never seem to run short on our supply of ridiculousness. Experts are saying its market value is at an all-time high. So, with all of the ups and downs in recent world news, we’d like to bring you a more international segment: “Dartos y Laurel-schteinem?” We digress.
To end the first week of Summer classes, The Jam is bringing music and free beer to town.
Movie4Mi was created in 2011 as an Android app, but in January of this year, the website version of the app officially launched. David Dawkins said the app was a side project he created while he was a pharmacy student at UF.

After winning both the Southeastern Conference regular season and tournament titles, the No. 1 Florida women’s tennis team is exactly where it wants to be.
The Gators open up their first day of competition today at the three-day Southeastern Conference Outdoor Championships in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
The Florida men’s tennis team exceeded all expectations.
Fresh off a 16-4 shellacking of Temple to win its second-straight Big East Tournament title, the No. 2 Florida lacrosse team was named the No. 2 overall seed in the 26-team NCAA Tournament on Sunday.
To Kevin O’Sullivan, Southeastern Conference play is a grind.
Through six innings, Florida mustered just three hits against South Florida pitcher Michael Clarkson.
Presumptive Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has a huge electoral problem looming on the horizon, and it seems he and many of his supporters either do not want to acknowledge it or would rather dismiss it as a non-issue. The problem is Trump does not seem to do well with a diverse general election constituency.
Hi, everybody. My name is Zachary Lee. I’ll be one of your columnists this Summer. You can find my column here in the Alligator every Tuesday. This being my first official column (you may recognize me from some politically-charged guest columns in past semesters or some crappy satirical pieces two years ago), I feel like I should introduce myself to you. I am majoring in philosophy and minoring in sustainability studies. I like peanut butter, my roommate’s dog and the satisfying crunch of walking on dead leaves. I don’t like the beach, adult men who wear Ed Hardy clothing products or Smirnoff Ice.
Welcome back, readers. Welcome home. We hope you enjoyed that little sliver of vacation. How did it come and go so quickly? It seems just yesterday we were in the heap of finals week, shamelessly praying to the gods to save our GPAs. No matter: time to trudge on through another season of classes. Treasure this semester, dear readers. It looks as though it may be our last.
