 wine and juice and then adjust from there.
Pour in the sparkling wine first, then the juice, to prevent overflow.
Hold your glass at a slight tilt when pouring the sparkling wine to preserve carbonation.
Don’t worry about stirring the mimosa. The pouring action alone will stir it enough.
Serve the mimosas in champagne flutes. Not only do they look pretty, but the tall design helps retain bubbles. If you really want to get fancy, add some garnish, like an orange wedge on the rim of the glass.
How you serve and present the mimosas can go one of two ways. You could set up a mimosa bar and have your guests self-serve, or you could mix-up pitchers of mimosas and have them set out on the table. Both ways take minimal preparation on your part, so you really can’t go wrong!
While the food and beverage are being enjoyed at your brunch, the decor will provide aesthetics and atmosphere that help make the morning memorable. It doesn’t have to be extravagant. In fact, simple is often better! If you’re hosting champagne brunch to celebrate a holiday, then your decor could reflect that day.
If it’s a bridal shower or baby shower, then think about the personality of the person and come up with a theme. If you’re hosting brunch “just because” fresh flowers in mason jars or mismatched vases placed on the table always adds a touch of elegance. If you’re going for a more sophisticated feel, use real dishes and flatware, but there’s nothing wrong with paper goods either.
Hosting the perfect brunch means that you enjoy it too. Make it easy on yourself by planning ahead, setting the atmosphere, and surrounding yourself with food, drinks, decor and people that will help make it memorable.

➤ Armada Music 2016Premiering in competition at this year’s Venice Film Festival, Václav Marhoul’s adaptation of Jerzy Kosińsk’s 1965 novel The Painted Bird is a gruelling odyssey through the bloody fields of Europe in the middle of the 20th century.
Sometimes there are films that you feel people must-see – and mustn’t see at exactly the same time. Watching The Painted Bird in the Darsena, there was a soundtrack of seats slamming up like gunshots as people decided they had had enough. And it was totally understandable. A film about suffering can feel gratuitous. We long for relief. We long for humour. We long for humanity. Sometimes, it just doesn’t come.
A young boy (Petr Kotlar) is being chased through a forest. He is caught by the older boys, beaten and his pet weasel is burned alive, writhing in agony as it dies. And so it goes. For the next three hours, we proceed through a passion play of suffering and cruelty. The boy is supposed to be protected by his aunt, hidden away to avoid the worst of the war, but when his aunt dies the villagers identify him as a Jew only a little relieved when the local hag insists he’s a vampire and buys him.
Through nine chapters the boy will be looked after, beaten, exploited, repeatedly raped and abused by a series of guardians. Some of them are horrific. like Udo Kier’s jealous miller, who gouges out a man’s eyes with a spoon, or Julian Sands’ horribly convincing paedophile. Others offer some kind of relief like Harvey Kietel’s priest. But even an attempt to care for the boy can be mixed do so from mixed motives, like a young woman who saves him from the winter, but also has her own sexual appetites that are in modern parlance ‘inappropriate’.
 A woman (Jitka Čvančarová) with a large sexual appetite is punished by the mothers of the village in a way that sparked the largest number of walkouts. The villagers are sometimes victims but are also frequently a stone’s throw away from a pogrom. The Nazis, the Cossacks and the Soviets all make devastating appearances, but the locals are no better. In fact, the first act of kindness visited on the boy is from a German soldier (Stellan Skarsgaard) who has been ordered to execute him. Likewise, a Soviet sniper (Barry Pepper) – in a scene reminiscent of Andrei Tarkovsky’s Ivan’s Childhood – will befriend the boy and tutor him in revenge.
The poetry of suffering is both abhorrent and beautiful, disgusting and fascinating, excessive and vitally necessary. Like Ted Hughes’ poem Crow’s Account of the Battle, Vladimír Smutný’s camera gazes with a bland indifference and it is this which is perhaps the most disconcerting aspect of the film. We have to supply the empathy; we have to supply the horror. Nothing is given to us. It is also a corrective to the view that the Holocaust only happened in the confines of Auschwitz and similar death camps.
The majority of the victims of the Holocaust were murdered before Auschwitz ever became operational. It took place in the woods and villages, in the fields and by the rivers. It grew from the hatred in people’s hearts, a hatred that no longer feels like it resides safely in history. Is The Painted Bird exaggerated? Does it go too far? Does it break the limits of taste? “Yes” on all counts. Walking out is an understandable and valid reaction but watching, getting angry, suffering and approaching understanding is also important too.

* 6th graders: Aug 10th – Sept 2nd (T & Th).Charges filed against owners of manga leak site in Japan — Kudasai
The Fukuoka Prefectural Police Department filed copyright infringement charges against a company and a 44-year-old male employee who allegedly maintained a “manga leak site/spoilers” that published almost complete texts of manga chapters without authorization and prior to their official publication.
According to the charges, the Tokyo-based company and the Kanazawa city employee posted dialogue and images from the 60th and 62nd chapters of the manga. Kengan Omega from Yabako Sandrovich on May 7 and 21. Supposedly they saw the chapters in the application sleeve ONE from Shogakukan, they exposed the story in text with screenshots from the manga and made it available on the site. According to authorities, the suspects admitted to the charges.
In a statement the editors of the application sleeve ONE revealed that the site was “Manga-ru ~Muryō Manga Kansō Netabareview” (Manga-ru ~Free Manga Impressions and Spoilereviews~), which housed not only content from Kengan Omega, but many other manga titles. The editors clarified that although the site had few images, it published the stories of those manga extensively, “practically unchanged“.
The statement also noted that Shogakukan had first requested the site’s service provider to shut down the site in May 2020, and then requested the personally identifiable information of the site’s maintainers. The Tokyo District Court ruled in March 2021 that the unauthorized publication of the manga’s story text is considered copyright infringement, and the court ordered that the maintainers’ information be disclosed to Shogakukan. Shogakukan alleged in that application that the maintainers had published almost the entire text of the dialogues of sixty-three chapters of Kengan Omega without authorization, from January 2019 to May 2020.
