Canada obliged to reveal info on abuse of aboriginal school kids

A superior court of general jurisdiction in Canada has ordered the government to release millions of documents on its residential school system, which will reveal secrets of abuse and torture of aboriginal children at government-funded schools, Press TV reports.

The Ontario Superior Court of Justice ordered the government to hand over the documents to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC).

The Commission has said that the documents will allow the public, researchers and educators to learn more about what happened to the 150,000 First Nations, Metis and Inuit children, who were taken from their homes, often against their parents? will.

?We knew of those records, which talked about the experiments of withholding food from children while they were in residential schools so the government could see what the impact of poor nutrition or malnutrition would be on people,? said Justice Murray Sinclair.

In addition, the documents are believed to reveal evidence of widespread sexual and mental abuse as well as torture of native children living at more than 130 government-funded residential schools.

The residential school system was launched in the 1870s and the last one closed in 1996.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper?s government had initially denied the request, saying it was of no relevance and that it would be too costly.

The documents as well as thousands of statements from former aboriginal students are to be housed by the National Research Center at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg.

92% Frances Ha

All Critics (118) | Top Critics (36) | Fresh (108) | Rotten (10)

In your twenties you decide on the final version of you. Sophie is working on it; Frances is stuck in her crazy, clueless, can't-pay-the-rent stage.

It's a tribute to Gerwig's performance, somehow both clumsy and elegant, that she wins us over despite ourselves, that we come to appreciate her aimlessness in a goal-oriented society ...

This is an odd film (creepier than it knows), and even if you feel the atmospheric company of Dunham-ism, with a little of Whit Stillman, Henry Jaglom, and Woody Allen, the core influence on Noah Baumbach's film is fifty years older or more.

Baumbach usually builds his films around difficult protagonists, but Frances is entirely endearing, at once silly and deep, hopeless and promising.

The dialogue and editing are zippy and generally charming, combining with the tart observations of 20-something culture to create a nice frisson.

A black-and-white salute to the French New Wave (the score is borrowed from Georges Delerue, composer of many a Truffaut and Godard film) that manages to be very much of this moment ...

It's a likable movie, with some nice moments of both comedy and pathos, and beautifully shot, but for me the reverence for its heroine was not completely earned, and the arrowhead was missing: the decisive jab of satire, of insight, of love.

This film may look like one of those annoyingly mannered independent films, with its wacky young cast and arty-farty black and white photography, but it's actually a fresh, smart and very funny comedy.

Noah Baumbach and Greta Gerwig have carved out, with effortless elegance and ease, a cinematic space for a woman to be, unapologetically, herself.

Frances Ha both acknowledges and earns its place in the tradition of the New York bourgeois comedy, encoding the angst of social mores in witty dialogue. Make no mistake: the cinematic slacker has come of age.

An unlikely feelgood crowd-pleaser - Frances Ha is sweet, funny, darling and almost unbearably lovely. And thankfully, everyone enunciates.

Brilliantly directed and beautifully shot, this is an utterly delightful, warm-hearted and very funny comedy with a wonderful script and a terrific central performance from Greta Gerwig.

Despite Gerwig's natural appeal and talent as a performer, Frances' self-absorption and flakiness begin to grate.

When is a film a throwaway sketch that's so good it's frameable? When it's Frances Ha.

Much of the reason why Frances Ha is a far more well-crafted and enjoyable piece of cinema than either Lola Versus or Damels in Distress.

The story becomes chaotic and disjointed, but that's the point: Frances is tumbling towards her 30s with no sense of direction and this is where Gerwig excels, deftly pulling you along on a bumpy ride.

Baumbach and Gerwig have co-written a film about the point when spontaneous, giddy arrested adolescence ceases to be endearing and threatens to be annoying.

Anchored by a charming performance from Greta Gerwig, it's as light and breezy as a walk in Central Park, and just as refreshing.

A joyous portrait of an unformed personality that should strike chords of recognition in all who watch it.

Frances Ha could be THE post-college-angst comedy of the '10s. This is what happens when Mumblecore grows up and turns into a real movie.

Agreeable low-budget modern-day urban comedy.

Frances Ha is a refreshingly contemporary film, exploring 20-something hipster ennui with accuracy, empathy and humour.

As long as you remember to laugh, Frances Ha is a tolerable experience. Forget the "ha ha" and Frances Ha is beyond unbearable. I found this an odd and often frustrating truth, but it's what makes Noah Baumbach's new movie a success.

Gerwig keeps you on side and rooting for Frances to get her act together in what becomes an affectionate salute to messy lives, an endearing underachiever and a New York state of mind.

We Now Have A Few Details About Kerry Washington?s Secret Wedding!

When we first learned that Kerry Washington had secretly married NFL player Nnamdi Asomugha, there were so few details about the wedding that I was ready to call it an elopement. But apparently, an actual ceremony took place with guests, cake, and all that. Although, according to a close source, it was still a very small affair, Kerry?s parents were not the only witnesses there, which is what we were hearing before. All in all, it sounded like a very sweet, very intimate affair. Click inside to learn more!

People has the story:

Olivia Pope may thrive in complicated situations, but Kerry Washington likes to keep it simple.

That?s according to a source, who attended the Scandal star?s top-secret wedding to San Francisco 49ers cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha, 32, last month in Idaho.

?Everything was held at one of Kerry?s friend?s houses,? the source tells PEOPLE. ?They flew a few people out on this little private plane. The house was beautiful.?

As for the ceremony, which took place outdoors on the property, ?It was small, just family and close friends,? says the attendee. ?They said their own vows, people stayed at the house. It was really simple and sweet.?

And though Washington, 36, has rocked some bold red carpet looks, on her big day she opted for minimalist chic. ?The dress was plain white, slim-fitting, like it could have been off a rack,? says the source. ?It was really regular.?

Perhaps less is more for the Emmy nominee: ?I?m blessed,? Washington told PEOPLE just after learning of her nomination for Scandal. ?I?m really happy in all areas of my life.?

Just yesterday Kerry spoke out a teeny, tiny bit about her new life as a married woman and she sounded really happy. Plus she?s got that whole Emmy nomination thing popping off, so I?m sure this is a lovely time for her.

I can sooo picture this gorgeous little wedding that I wasn?t invited to, lol! Sigh. Kerry in a simple, white dress, looking kind of Olivia Pope-ish? if Olivia Pope and Fitz ever got it together and jumped the broom, lol. I love it!

Here?s hoping that one day? maybe? maybe even one day soon, we?ll get to actually see these two together. And don?t even get me started on a little baby Kerry? Omgeeeee!

What To Ask Franchises For Sale. ? Business ? Franchising

When looking for franchises for sale in the UK you should be aware that all franchise offers have to disclose a document to all prospective buyers a certain amount of time before any contract can be signed. Make sure that your read the entire document and understand all of the criteria enclosed within the franchise opportunity. We are now going to look over the first set of criteria that needs to be researched that will be included in the document. This first set of criteria will help you get a clear idea of what to ask the franchise before you sign anything.

We will start off by looking at the background of the franchise. In the document it must state that directors of the business and what they have done previous, take into account not only their business experience but also their experience in running franchise systems. The document should also state how long they have been with the business and show their track record with this company. Looking at franchises for sale with an inexperienced franchise owner is more of a risk than investing in an established experienced franchise owner.

The next criteria that the document takes into account is the legislation regarding the franchise and the franchise directors. The information in the document will detail any convictions like fraud, business law, or other similar offences in the UK. It will also detail if the current franchise has any involvement with law cases or civil actions in the franchises history. If any of these come up in the document and a number of cases have been reported this will indicate that the franchise has not been living up to their agreement and the franchisees have been unhappy with the service offered. There has been cases where names have been withheld from this document to hide old cases concerning the individual.

The document will detail any circumstances involving the directors or the franchise itself and whether they have been declared bankrupt at any time. This information will help you gain a better understating of the financial security of the franchise opportunity and help you anticipate if the franchise is capable of upholding all of their promises.

The final section we look into in this article is the criteria of restrictions that will be in the document. When looking for franchises for sale you will always come across restrictions with every franchise. These restrictions will be a good starting point when choosing a franchise opportunity. They restrictions limit how you manage and operate each franchise, the document should detail information like where you will purchase your products from, the products you sell, the customers that you sell the products too and in which location you are allowed to sell your products in. You must understand these restrictions before signing any agreement as these will be the basis of how you operate the franchise and in the long run make it successful. Probably the most significant restriction is location, the franchise may have numerous outlets in a county and the restrictions of opening a franchise in a certain area may be beneficial for one franchisee but severely damage the incom e of another franchisee if opened close by.

'Armageddon year' for Garrett? Jerry Jones says no

OXNARD, Calif. (AP) ? Jerry Jones opened his 25th training camp as owner of the Dallas Cowboys sounding as if coach Jason Garrett would be around for 25 more.

The first vote of confidence came even before someone could ask Saturday in the annual "State of the Cowboys" address that Jones gives on the eve of camp.

The words got stronger after the questions started. Jones said it was a "mistake" to consider this a make-or-break year for Garrett, who missed the playoffs with 8-8 records in each of his two full seasons. Both ended with losses in finales to NFC East rivals with a playoff berth on the line.

The owner and his coach shared a concert-like stage for nearly 40 minutes in what has become something of a summer tradition for Jones since he bought the team in 1989. Garrett had to duck out for the first team meeting of camp, and as he was walking off the stage, Jones was asked if it was fair to say Garrett's job was on the line.

Jones leaned into the microphone, said "no" in several ways and even suggested that he was looking beyond the two years remaining on Garrett's contract.

"I look to the future with Jason and not just through his contract that we're sitting here with right now," Jones said. "But it is not what is implied when you say, 'Well, this is an Armageddon year for him.' It is not that with me."

The questions started as soon as the Cowboys overhauled their defensive staff a few weeks into the offseason, and not long after Jones said he was going to make things "uncomfortable" at team headquarters.

Fueled by the comment, speculation centered on Garrett being a rubber stamp for the firing of defensive coordinator Rob Ryan, the hiring of replacement Monte Kiffin and the decision to move play-calling duties from Garrett to Bill Callahan.

Kiffin might not have helped things when he said his first phone calls were from the owner and his son, executive vice president Stephen Jones.

Garrett had a stock answer for the "hot seat" issue all offseason: Everyone in the NFL is on it. The question for him Saturday was getting out of his personal .500 rut ? and the team's. The Cowboys are 128-128 going back to the start of the 1997 season.

"We are what we are to this point," Garrett said. "But at some point in your life, you have to let the past go, whether it's been great, good, mediocre or not so good. And you focus on learning from those experiences and getting better and take advantage of the opportunity in front of you."

Garrett and Jones think the Cowboys are better because they're healthier than they were after a 28-18 loss to Washington that kept them out of the playoffs.

The optimism has mostly to do with a defense that was missing six key players by the end of the season: linebackers Sean Lee and Bruce Carter, linemen Jay Ratliff and Kenyon Coleman, safety Barry Church and cornerback Orlando Scandrick.

DeMarcus Ware didn't miss any games but had offseason surgery on a shoulder that limited him late in the year.

Tony Romo has been cleared for Sunday's opening practice after missing offseason workouts to have a cyst removed from his back.

"That was a pretty tough hand," Jones said of last season's injury issues on defense. "I said the other day that we are a better team. I probably should have said the better team now than when we finished up last year. We had a healthy Romo, but apart from that, we were pretty banged up."

The newcomers with the strongest chance to start are first-round pick Travis Frederick, who will get most of his work at center, and 10-year veteran Will Allen at safety. Second-year player Matt Johnson, who missed last season with a hamstring injury, is competing with Allen.

"I like how we worked in the offseason," Garrett said. "I like our personnel. I like how our staff has come together. I think we've done a good job as an organization getting younger. We feel good about the decisions we made from a personnel standpoint the last couple of years."

And as Jones reiterated Saturday, he feels good about his head coach.
