Undocumented immigrants in the US can now be arrested for infractions such as traffic violations or shoplifting. These measures were taken in order to speed up the removal process of these immigrants according to current
US immigration laws. According to Trump administration memos, this will “‘prioritize’ the deportation of almost all undocumented immigrants, everywhere.”
Tired of waiting in line for a bathroom stall? Major Japanese telecommunications company KDDI Corporation will soon release a new app that will allow its users to know how many cubicles are occupied. The app will provide this information through sensors that will
activate once the doors of the stalls are closed. KDDI is planning to launch this service at office buildings first. They will then introduce the service to facilities such as stadiums, train stations, and shopping malls.

Australia – Health minister fast tracks imports of medical marijuana Australian Health Minister Greg Hunt has given the green light to international providers of medicinal cannabis. These retailers will provide an interim supply of the substance until domestic production is able to meet Australia’s needs. Hunt said
that within eight weeks, and possibly sooner, Australia would have a store of imported cannabis, which would allow for better access to medical marijuana products.

Rachel Wong Staff Writer Long-distance relationships are about to become a lot more intimate, with the help of some new technologies coming out of SFU. Carman Neustaedter, associate professor with the School of Interactive Art and Technology (SIAT), has been working with several graduate students at the Connections Lab (cLab) to create new technologies to connect people who are currently separated by distance. Neustaedter, along with the students he is working with, say that their research is primarily motivated by their experience of being separated from the ones they love. “[Distance] is a universal problem,” Neustaedter told The Peak. “My family lives really far away, so this really came out of personal motivation to connect loved ones together in a better way.” Currently, many rely on Skype or other video chatting services to allow themselves to see another person face to face. One of the technologies that the cLab has come up with is the Flex-N-Feel glove, which is a pair of gloves that allows people to experience touch, even if they are far apart. Vibrations are sent over wireless connection from the movement of the ‘flex’ glove and are then felt by the person wearing the ‘feel’ glove.
Samarth Singhal, the lead student behind the Flex-N-Feel project, echoed Neustaedter’s sentiments. Currently a master’s student, Singhal is no stranger to separation from his loved ones. While in his native India, he worked for three years in the Indian software industry, separating him from his family. Now that he is studying in Vancouver, he is separated from his girlfriend, who currently lives in Boston. “These gloves work to fill the void of touch,” Singhal said. “When you say something, it might not feel like very much. But when you can feel the vibrations and movements along with the words, you can feel another level of emotion.” Beyond the Flex-N-Feel glove, which is currently in testing at the cLab, Singhal is also working on Be With Me, which he described as “the next level of Skype.” Be With Me uses virtual reality video conferencing to allow partners to see through the other person’s eyes. “Skype is a medium of conversation, and it misses the main component of allowing couples to see what is going on. . . [Be With Me] allows the other partner to see a view of a
person’s day, rather than a narrative version of it.” Other projects that are currently being researched and worked on in the cLab include Telepresence Robots (under the research of PhD student Lillian Yang), which is a monitor strapped onto a movable robot that allows for a person to move around in the space that they are looking at. Also, My Eyes (under the research of master’s student Rui Pan), is a 360-degree camera that can be attached to a phone, allowing for video to be captured, streamed, and shared with someone else.
Regardless of what new gadget he is working on, Neustaedter considers himself to be “one small piece of a big puzzle. “The systems that are created wouldn’t be created without the people that are currently using them,” he said. “We take knowledge from interviews that we do with people, and we work on them based on what we learned. It is a collaborative effort.” This is part of our Science + Tech column. Head to our website to read more from this weekly series!

On Monday, January 20, a room in the Woodward’s building was packed with guests to listen to just under a dozen panelists as they discussed and debriefed the Women’s March on Washington – Vancouver which happened just one month ago. As The Peak previously reported, there were some concerns over the Women’s March on Washington – Vancouver over observations of a lack of inclusivity in regards to the transgender and black communities in Vancouver. This event hosted by the Institute for Humanities and mediated by SFU student Samaah Jaffer intended to unpack the nature behind some of these exclusions, and how further movements, marches, and interventions can move forward from this. Daniyah Shamsi, a panelist and organizer at the event told The Peak, “We wanted to keep momentum going and the goal was to discuss what happened with the march, what went wrong, what we saw in our own words — and how we, as activists, organizers, and everyday people, could learn and heal, grow, and move forward (as opposed to rhetoric of ‘moving on’ or ‘getting over it’) from such instances.” The evening began with an address from the Institute for the Humanities director, Samir Gandesha, followed by a welcome from Audrey Siegl, sχɬemtəna:t~St’agid Jaad, acknowledging the space on unceded Coast Salish lands. Panelists described their role, or lack thereof, within the Women’s March. Each represented various communities, including the black, Latino, Aboriginal, and LGBTQ communities, as well as those with accessibility needs across Vancouver. During the event, Shamsi
February 27, 2017
explained her experience while volunteering for the stage setup and sound for the Women’s March. She explained that the Black Lives Matter organization was not included because she quotes “and I quote, ‘there weren’t enough black people in Vancouver to be represented.’” The audience gasped following this statement, as other panelists including members of the black community recalled the lack of diversity present at the march. “I didn’t really get the impression that enough people saw the problems that I saw. . . it takes more than one voice to speak up and say, ‘Hey, that doesn’t sound right, can we talk about that?’ It’s an easy way [to] just open dialogue, to really make sure we are doing things the right way.”
Shamsi went on to express her concern over the response that the organizers of the Women’s March exhibited. This was following a Facebook post from some Black Lives Matter members criticizing the event which garnered around 100 comments. The comments, which examined the discourse and exclusivity of the march, were deleted from the event page. Daniella Barreto, an organizer for Black Lives Matter Vancouver, described the reasoning behind the statement that was made on the Black Lives Matter website in regards to the Women’s March. She added, “We just wanted to say, ‘Hey! This is an issue.’ “Throughout the history of feminism, black voices have been erased, and it is so important to
centre the voices of those who are most marginalized — this wasn’t happening in Vancouver, so we wanted to open up that conversation about who is at the table, who gets to be at the table.” “The erasure that we are hearing about right now is hitting me because it's been ongoing,” stated Stephanie Allen, a real estate developer who is currently working to address the displacement of the black community when the Georgia viaduct was created and working with the black community. She reflected upon her experience attending the march as a black woman: “I was happy to attend the Women’s March the day that I attended. While I was there with a number of black women, we went together because we wanted to be visible together, because we know what it’s like in Vancouver.” While the night focused on exclusivity within social justice movements as a whole, a discussion on the transgender community and under-representation of the Women’s March was another highlight of the night. Morgane Oger, who works as an entrepreneur in the hightech sector and is also the BC New Democratic Party candidate for Vancouver–False Creek, discussed her position as a transgender individual. “The organizers [of the march] clearly had the very best of intentions in mind. . . and it’s obvious that it came from a good place, but it came also from a place that was limited by their lens,” expressed Oger. Oger addressed the lack of foresight of the organizers by explaining one simple quote by a former minister of defence in the United States, Donald Rumsfeld: “There are known knowns.” She explained that what’s more unstable are the “unknown unknowns, what you don’t know, you don’t know, and that’s the thing that gets you in so much trouble.” This idea was reiterated by Mia Susan Amir, writer, interdisciplinary performer, curator,
cultural organizer, and educator who suffers from chronic illness expressed her concerns over accessibility during most events. But she added the importance of educating others, “When we don’t offer information, we create a wall of exclusion.” Final thoughts from the panelists in moving forward in creating social change included understanding the gaps created when making events, marches, and initiatives and how we can better understand those missing pieces. As suggested by Shamsi, one way to encourage greater inclusivity was “queer[ing] it up” in order to understand how to break out of binary thinking. Judi Lewinson added how important technology is in connecting one another, as the

conversation wrapped up for the night. To move on from what was expressed as exclusivity following the Women's March, she stated, “We are coming together to do something bigger than this immediate moment, and bigger than Jack Poole plaza; but it was a good start. So embrace technology, ask people to show up, and then when they say they are coming, welcome them in.” Jaffer, moderator for the event, told The Peak following the event that “audience members expressed that they learned a lot,” despite the fact that some panelists didn’t get as much time to speak as others. She added, “I hope that this event has encouraged people to have more of these difficult, yet critical, conversations among their peers.”

As I watched the 59th Annual Grammy Awards telecast, and waited for Album of the Year (AOTY) to be announced, I knew deep down in my gut that Beyoncé’s Lemonade was not going to win. Despite being the most nominated woman in Recording Academy history with 62 nominations, winning 22 of those nominations, and her 20-plus incredibly powerful years in the music industry, Beyoncé has yet to win the biggest award of them all. And as AOTY winner Adele herself said, “What the fuck does she have to do to win. . .?” In order to even be acknowledged, people of colour have to go above and beyond. We are not given the space to simply be good or just okay. Beyoncé’s Lemonade shattered boundaries of genre, came
with a 60-minute visual piece that centred on southern black femininity, and produced radio bangers. Kendrick Lamar incorporated hiphop, funk, and jazz with incredible lyricism on To Pimp a Butterfly. Both of these albums changed and revolutionized culture — yet still that wasn’t good enough. The last time a black person won AOTY was in 2008 when Herbie Hancock’s River: The Joni Letters beat Kanye West’s Graduation and Amy Winehouse’s iconic Back to Black. Yet, the last time a black woman won AOTY was in 1999 when Lauryn Hill won for her debut solo record The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. This means that a black woman has not won the biggest Grammy of them all in this century. When you look at those facts, it is clear that something is very wrong.

Racial inequality is an issue that is talked about within the industry, but the conversation seems to stop after we get to diversity within performers. However, it’s clear that awards systems have inequality issues as well. Part of this challenge comes from the fact that we don’t know the Grammy voter demographics, but it is widely assumed that those who vote are predominantly older white folks. The voting body doesn’t necessarily accurately represent the full scope of the audience. It’s important that people of colour be represented in all areas of the industry, not just where they can be seen. There’s also the challenge of understanding the historical context. Many of the awards that are won come with contexts that are comfortable for mainstream (read white) audiences. Beyoncé has won
many of her awards in R&B and urban categories; Lemonade won best Urban Contemporary Album, which is to say she won best “black” album. In many ways, this says, “We’re with you celebrating black people, but that’s not an experience I can relate to, so I’m not going to try.” Adele’s album and career are built upon the same musical legacy and history as Beyoncé, yet she is chosen to win, and that just doesn’t seem fair. Now the irony of this whole discussion isn’t lost on me. Awards and entertainment are meant to be forms of escape from the world we live in. Then there’s also the fact that people around the world are dying and I’m sitting here writing about why Beyoncé should’ve won a hunk of metal and wood that’s going to collect dust on her mantle.
However, these issues are important because entertainment plays an important role in shaping how we understand the world around us. As any good communication student will tell you, television and film don’t reflect the world we live in — it simply replicates that which is familiar. Popular culture reveals a lot about who we are and what we value as a society. If the world we live in constantly excludes people of colour from spaces of decision making, forcing them into the margins of society, then it makes sense that our media and, by extension, our awards would reflect that. These issues are systemic and need to be changed from the inside out. Until the system is completely changed to not exploit people of colour, we will not be celebrated like we deserve.
To be Gloomy ... or to be Happy? A
s you go through this phase of life, take comfort in the fact that there is nothing new under the sun. While there is never going to be anyone with identical genes who will experience life exactly as you do, your emotions, good and bad, are something that we all have. Life comes in stages, getting a college education is one stage. This is around the time in which your prefrontal cortex is getting developed, when you are becoming more aware that your behaviour affects other people. It is a time of great self-awareness, particularly awareness of a moral conscience. Up to this point your behaviour has been mostly shaped by fear of punishment. But never forget that the urges you have, and even your sexual orientation are largely part of the pre-package that you came into the world with. Don’t be hard on yourself, after all, you did not make yourself and you are not responsible for the genes that have shaped you up to this point. It is not for you to feel guilt or shame about how you were put together. What is important, is what you do about the traits that are harmful to others. With a moral appreciation of consequences, your behaviour should be shaped by a desire to pursue goodness, for goodness’ sake. This is a narrower road, but it brings peace of mind, success and happiness. It is also the surest road to wisdom. So try not to despair when the day seems dreary or the task seems impossible. Bad times never last and you will adjust like you’ve always done. Never forget that we live in our minds and so just as negative thoughts bring you down, positive thoughts will lift you up. As so, it is important to control your thoughts. Learn to shake off negative thoughts the moment they occur to you – practice makes perfect. This, by the way, is one of the triumphs in life – gaining control of what we allow our mind to dwell on. No one knows where thoughts come from, but with some effort you can learn to focus on the things that bring you happiness. Work hard, and try to remain honest, so you can keep growing in your ability. You are capable of much more than you realize. Learn self-discipline and organisation so that work doesn’t spill into play, and your play is not spoiled by guilt from work left undone. Try never to panic, instead seek help to recover from trouble. Offer good advice and don’t hesitate to seek counsel. We are all in this together. Don’t be embarrassed to embrace faith but do not become self-righteous or a hypocrite. Your friends may not tell you so, but they will respect you and admire you as a spiritual person. After all, true spirituality is about learning to love others. You will find that the more you pray, the better you know yourself and the less mistakes you make. Pray for those you don’t like and forgive others so that it is easier to forgive yourself. Overcome your shyness, not by heavy drinking or by using drugs, but by reminding yourself that we are all shy to some extent. In fact, shyness tends to be a result of self-awareness. No one is better than anyone else, we all have our warts. Through prayer you will gain more self-knowledge and understanding of how you fit into the world. The more you know about yourself, the calmer you will be and the more hopeful you will be about the future. Hope and faith are wonderful assets and they will teach you about love and laughter. You are about to come into your own so learn to pick up after yourself and hang in there. You have yet to taste the best that life has to offer, be patient.

He may be Wolverine, but Logan is a perfectly imperfect superhero. The third installment of the Wolverine franchise is set in the year 2029, where a struggling and weary Logan (Hugh Jackman) takes care of the terminally ill Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart) in an isolated facility along the Mexican border. While Logan’s Wolverine can still bust out his claws and take care of bad guys if he needs to like nobody’s business, it is clear that his powers are not what they once were. His regenerative healing abilities have lessened significantly due to the adamantium that
February 27, 2017
makes him indestructible interacting with his old age, so he turns to alcohol to dull the physical pain he feels from his injuries. He spends his days as a limousine driver to make some extra cash to pay for Charles’ medicine. The professor needs to take the medicine in order to reduce the amount of seizures he has as he loses control of his telepathic abilities. Logan’s life takes an interesting turn when a young woman named Gabriela Lopez (Elizabeth Rodriguez) shows up begging for his help to take her and her daughter Laura (Dafne
Keen) to a place called Eden, a safe haven that is mentioned in an X-Men comic book. He refuses to help at first, but quickly comes to discover that her little girl, Laura, is more like him than he initially thought. Charles urges him to take her to safety, and together they run from those who want to capture her for her abilities. The movie does a great job of combining emotion and action. Logan’s struggles with his illness are as essential to his character development as when he whips out his badass Wolverine claws. Jackman’s performance as Wolverine, however,
does range from moody and brooding to stilted anger, with not much depth in between until the end. His dynamic with Stewart is wonderful though, and their banter induced plenty of laughs from the audience. But the real star of the movie was Keen, who acted with a depth well beyond her 12 years. She doesn’t speak for the majority of the movie, yet still brings a fierceness to her character that shows that having mutant abilities is anything but child’s play. Logan also has an “R” rating for the use of strong language and gore, which I personally thought it could
11
do without. Giving that rating to a superhero movie like Deadpool, which relied on those elements to create a witty script, made sense, but for Logan it seemed like F-bombs were dropped for the sake of dropping Fbombs. The violence was also gratuitous. It was Game of Thrones-level shit, but it didn’t necessarily detract from the movie’s plot. All in all, Logan has a little bit of everything, from character development to action to even a couple of heart-wrenching moments. It’s worth watching for those who want to see Jackman take his claws out once again.
Planning Your Summer? Think about a Canada 150 Immersion! Explore the 150th anniversary theme of Indigenous reconciliation in three special topic courses The xx is a UK-based band consisting of Romy Madley-Croft, Oliver Sim, and super producer Jamie xx – which hasn’t released new music in over four years. Their much-anticipated latest release, I See You, sounds like a ray of sunshine weaving in and out of the tracks. It opens with the energizing calls of the saxophone — already proving how this latest project is a departure from their otherwise signature melancholy sound. The listener can definitely hear the artistic and emotional growth that must have taken place since Coexist. Much of the album remains sonically expansive and reserved, and the lyricism is also characteristically simple. Standout tracks for me include “Say Something Loving,” “Lips,” “A Violent Noise,” and “I Dare You.” However, I much prefer the band’s previous two albums as they offered many more catchy tracks that could be played over and over. Meanwhile, I See You has a few good tracks, with the rest just acting as filler. – NA
Mother Mother’s quirky indie rock is always infused with messages about the state of our society and comments on our culture. With their sixth album, No Culture, the band continues this trend with a collection of songs about love, drugs, and the temptations of consumerism. The lead single, “The Drugs,” has been getting lots of airplay and is catchy with more of a palatable pop vibe than some of their previous work. The rest of the album does carry their trademark sound with innovative vocals and cryptic lyrics, but I can’t help but feel like they may be losing their edge just a little bit. They keep inching towards becoming mainstream. Other notable tracks include “Love Stuck,” which is an upbeat song about overthinking love. The title track might be the most well-written song, with its dark themes about the decline of culture and humanity. With five shows coming up at the Commodore to cap off their Canadian tour, Mother Mother is providing plenty of chances for you to experience their unique sound for yourself. –TP

BUZZER-BEATER
SFU's last-second basket edges out Alaska Fairbanks
Meg Wilson finished with 10 points, including the winning basket with .03 seconds left.
Olivia Tsai / The Peak
The Clan get their 24th win of the season in dramatic fashion Craig Wright Peak Associate
The combination of Ellen Kett and Meg Wilson proved the gamedeciding difference on Thursday night. SFU women’s basketball claimed a dramatic 73–71 win over Alaska Fairbanks at the West Gym to move to 15–4 in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference (GNAC).
With the scores tied at 71, Kett’s pass found Wilson in the shadow of the basket, with the forward’s shot hanging for an eternity on the rim. Finally, it dropped with 0.3 seconds remaining to finally settle the game in the Clan’s favour.
However, it was a true team effort from the home team as coach Bruce Langford used the bench to significant effect. Samantha Beauchamp impressed with a vital contribution of seven rebounds during her 10 minutes of action, whilst Tayler Drynan shot 100% from three-point range Despite Rachel Fradgley registering the first points of the night for the Clan, the home side soon found themselves 8–4 down with four minutes to go in the quarter. Coach Langford made the bold call to remove Kett and Wilson early, and it paid off; Sophie Swant and Tayla Jackson both made contributions to bring the scores back level at 12–12 at the end of the first 10 minutes. Kett and Wilson returned to the court, as SFU opened the second period with the first three-pointer of the match through Vanessa Gee. Kett began to find her passing range. An eye-catching assist for Fradgley was one of a total of nine on the night, breaking her own GNAC season record in the process. Drynan’s three-point basket
with 23 seconds left in the half saw the home side take a 31–26 advantage into the halftime break. But, with the second- highest scorer in the division, Jordan Wilson, in their ranks, Alaska Fairbanks came back at the home side. They traded baskets before edging ahead after Sophie Swant was punished for a technical foul. With seconds left in the third, Gee’s second successful three-pointer of the night gave the home side the narrowest of leads going into the final quarter. Once more, it was SFU that started the quarter the better; Ozi Nwabuko opened the scoring with an athletic assist for Wilson as they opened up a 53–48 lead. Yet the home side could never quite put their visitors away, as the Nanooks continued to fight. The lead changed hands time and time again, before Kett was on target. Two free throws with 96 seconds remaining gave her side a five-point cushion. Alaska Fairbanks refused to go away. Despite trailing by three with less than a minute to go, three free
throws from Jaylee Mays drew the visitors level. It was only through the cool head of Kett and the latest of late interventions from Wilson that the Clan was finally able to celebrate a hard-fought win. Speaking after the game, Wilson said, “We started off slow — we definitely weren’t hitting shots like we can. They did a good job of taking us away from what we wanted to do, but we never gave up.
Coach Langford was pleased with the contribution of his bench, but admitted his side was below their usual standards. “I didn’t think we executed so well tonight. We stuck it out and snuck it out, and everyone scored and contributed, but I didn’t think we were sharp. “I think our bench has outscored every team we’ve played for a while now [SFU’s bench finished with 29 points, 13 more than their counterparts], and I was really pleased with their contribution aside from Sophie [Swant’s] technical.”

Othniel Spence flies with careerhigh 29 point game, despite loss Clan fall 102–78 to Saint Martin’s despite seasonbest individual performance Austin Cozicar Peak Associate While he had a couple of good threes in the first half, that was all Othniel Spence had on the board in six minutes of court time in the first 20 minutes. Few would have expected him to explode as he did in the second half. He finished the game with 29 points. That’s the best individual point total anyone on the team has put up all season. He was just everywhere in the second half, putting up confident and exciting plays. His 23 second-half points came in 18 minutes of playing time, a remarkably efficient performance. As a freshman straight out of high school, whose minutes can vary game-to-game — maxing out at 24 minutes to sometimes sitting the entire second half — it’s a very promising sign of one of the Clan’s futures. “Othniel plays with a lot of speed, and in our offence, a guy like Othniel can really succeed. He’s been putting in a lot of time in the gym — a lot of extra time in the gym — in the last month and it’s really paying off,” said head coach Steve Hanson. In the end, Spence finished the game 11-for-15 (73.3%) from the field and six-for-seven (85.7%) from the three-point line.
Despite the remarkable offensive outburst by the 6’1” point guard, SFU was unable to beat the Saint Martin’s Saints in their penultimate home game, falling 102–78. SFU put up some decent offensive numbers, but were unable to stop the Saints.
The lopsided loss is all the more disappointing after a stretch of four relatively close games, including a win, where SFU seemed to make a definite progression. Saint Martin’s jumped out to a 10–0 lead before SFU put up their first two points 3:14 in. It didn’t take long for the Saints to further build that lead up to 18–4. SFU was able to go on a 13–5 run to get the game within six points, but just as quickly as SFU was able to get back into contention, Saint Martin’s was able to pull away. The half finished 54–36 in the Saints’ favour. Saint Martin’s was shooting at an incredible rate, sinking 69.9% of their shots from the field — a trend that slowed only moderately in the second, as they finished with an overall 66.0%. Graham Miller got to see some action in the first, putting
up 12 points in 10 minutes of play. Despite some mistakes, his offensive performance showed potential. “Now that his concussion’s gone and he’s just getting back to the swing — it’s really tough when you sit almost a month with an injury — he’s been looking a lot better in practice,” Hanson said about the 6’7” redshirt freshman. “The game speed is not there, his foot speed is not there for games, but we know he is going to be good in a couple of years, so we give him some minutes.” In the second half, Saint Martin’s played sloppily at times, and despite their high shooting percentage, left some drives without a shot. SFU looked like they might be able to take advantage of this, at one point reducing the deficit to 12. However, SFU was unable to sustain the momentum. Outside of Spence, Miller and Michael Provenzano, who had 11, were the only players with double-digit point totals. Spence also led in rebounds with four, three of them defensive. The typical big-minute players saw their time on court reduced, with Provenzano playing only 25 minutes and Kedar Wright only 22 minutes. Wright finished with six points and two defensive rebounds.
